The following complaint concerning the roads the United States is making into the Latin-American trade of Great Britain appears as an editorial in a recent issue of the British Trade Journal of London: «While the Wash- ington authorities apparently leave no stone un- turned to develop the exports of the United States as regards South and Central America, Mr. W.

The case of Brazil has been cited more than once, and there are several other countries in that part of the +. with whom treaties might be concluded. Last month we called attention to Guatemala as an instance of this, and in another column we publish a letter which throws some light upon the question. It appears that Guatemala wishes to exact too “much in return for a com- mercial treaty with this country—a sum for the construction of a road to the sea and certain concessions relating to Belize.

But here we are again met by the question, whose business is it to look after exch atreaty? The foreign office, the colonial office and the commercial ent are more or lens affected. and it is easy to shift the responsibility from one department to another. With a min- ‘ter of commerce at the bead of affairs perhaps juccessful move might be made in the matter.” Death of Col. Taggart. Col. John H. Taggart, editor and proprietor of Taggart's Sunday Times, died in Philadel- phia Saturday evening, aged seventy-two years. Col.

On the opposite side certain rows were reserved for the immediate friends of the graduates and the reet of the hall was closely filled by a large and appreciate andience. The platform was elegantly decorated with green, and in the corners of the room were heaped the beautiful flowers sent to the graduates and to those receiving the various honors of the school. The placing and distributing of these lowers were gracefully superintended. by a small band of young ladies of the school. Ata few moments after 11 Mr. Cabell, fol- lowed by Rev.

To the Faitor of The Evening Star The writer of this has frequently been asked what treatment the inmates receive in these in- stitutions. My reply is that in the volunteer homes they receive plenty of good beef and bacon, potatoes, vegetables, butter, coffee or tea, and all these homes are noted for the ex- cellent quality of their bread, but there is one feature of the cooking in the volunteer homes which is not acceptable, and that is that all The sub- the | There is an almost general wish meats and vegetables are cooked by steam, In one manner their liberties are curtailed, and that is they are not permitted to go outside the home grounds except by special In the regular home in the vicinity of this city the in- mates can go in and out at will, provided they do not violate the rules by getting intoxicated, Their food supply at present is better than it has ever been before.

Senators Chandler and Hill of the Senate com- mittee on immigration Saturday examined Mr. John I. Davenport, chief supervisor of elections of New York, relative to the evils of the present administration of the naturalization laws in ‘New York, as set out in the petition presented to the Senate recently by Senator Hiscock. Before Mr. Davenport made his statement-he was closely catechised by Senator Hill as to the petition itself. He developed the fact that the Petition, which was signed “Irrespective of Party,” bore the signatures of five democrats and nineteen republicans, nearly all of- the latter being members of the Union League Club. Z Mr. Davenport read a red statement, in which he said- that he appeared not as a repub- lican but in his oficial capacity, He proceeded to give a history of the adi ration of the naturalization laws in New York. When he re- ferred to Judge Barnard’s impeachment Sena- tor Hill declared that that impeachment had no connection with naturalization. Mr. Daven- port "was about to expluin that natural- zation frauds formed no part of the charges because he (Davenport), who was present as a witness. was not permitted to testify when Sen- ator Hill asserted. that he (Senator Hili) had been one of the impeachment managers and juestioned Mr. Davenport's knowledge of the ucts of the case. After a colloquy between him- selfand Mr. Davenport the laiter proceeded with his statement. ENORMOUS INCREASE SINCE 1866. He gave figures showing the enormous in- crease of naturalization since 1866, saying that in the month of October in one year two New York courts had granted 60,000 certificates of citizenship. Senator Hill again interjected a question as to whether this increase had not resulted from the stoppage of naturalization during the war, to which the witness assented. He proceeded to assert that in 1888 there was ano riod of fraudulent naturaliza- tion, which was less in’ magnitnde than in 1868 only because of the active work of the federal election officers. He said that he was by no means satisfied that the records of the superior court showed the ac- tual number of certificates granted and cited certain suspicious cases in his view based on a variance in the court records, a search made in one year showing that more than 8,000 ap- plications had divappeared and were ‘not re- corded. When the witness touched upon one case where a man had resided tive years in this country Senator Hill asked why he bad not been arrested. Mr. Davenport replied that he had preferred to arrest the witnesses who had sworn falsely. Senator Hill challenged some broad state- ments of fucts, but the witnesses declired that he had with him the legal records and papers necessary to prove all that he asserted. ALLEGED CORRUPT AND IRREGULAR PRACTICES. Mr. Davenport continued to point ont alleged corrupt and irregular practices in naturaliza- tion eases, and said that the entire proceeding was a wild scramble to get certificates of nat- wzalization. He presented a table showing the number of persons from each nation naturalized in October, 1881, by the superior cout of New York. This made a total of 6,871 persons. At the conclusion of the reading of his paper Mr. Davenport was asked by Senator Chandler anumber of questions pertaining to his official duties und with regard to his method of secur- ing copies of papers in_naturalization cases to be used in court. Mr. Davenport indicated, at the request of Senator Chandler, the nature of defects which he had found generally existed in the original papers. During the progress of the investigation, Senator Hill reminded Mr, Davenport that the statements were not sworn, to; but the latter said to Chairman Chandler that he was prepared to substantiate the state ments. Mr. Davenport said that one result of his labors was he had secured fifteen or twenty in- dictments in naturalization cases and convictions in some cases. In reply to further questions by Senator Chandler as to why, in view of the relief afforded by the conrts and by other means in the matter, a congressional investigation was desired by the persons signing the memorial on which the preliminary hearing is based. The witness sid that Congress was the supreme power over questions of naturalization, and it twas the privilege of persons to come to that au thority for relief. attention would thns be drawn to the matter. and by this means legislation may be had to prevent similar proceedings the coming all. er Senator Hill desired to read carefully the statements made by Mr. Davenport, and in order to accommodate him the committee ad- journed to meet again next Thursday. ————— ANACOSTIA, A CORNER STONE LAID, The corner stone of Emanuel Baptist Church of Garfield was laid with becoming ceremony at 3:30 o'clock yesterday.

The first ckirmish between the rival factions inthe democratic party of this county took place here yesterday, the occasion being a Primary mecting to mlect five delegates to a county convention to meet on Tuesday to select delegates to the state and congressional conven- tions. As heretofore stated there was con- siderable dissatisfaction at the manner of the call for primaries and the substitution of meet- ings for a regular election for delegates according to the plan adopted by the party some years ago, and at one time Over there was a strong talk of repudiating the whole scheme of the managers to select a tion in their own interest first and secondly for Mr. Cleveland. Afterward; how- ever, the out-and-out Cleveland men concluded to participate in the meeting and try to coun- teract the scheme of selecting delegates osten- sibly for Cleveland, but it was thought really in favor of somebody else. For some days it was rurgored that a great effort wae being made by the managers to secure the attendance of their friends ut the meeting, and it was also said that onegentleman was approuched and. guaranteed a place as delegate. After the meeting had been called to order the first contest was for the se- lection of a chairman, the name of W. Viers being proposed f Thomas Anderson by the opposition. A vote was taken and resulted in the selection of the latter gentleman, ufter which the balloting for delegates began, resulting in the election of J. W. Kelchner, W. H. Rabbitt, G. M. Anderson, W. H. Lamar and 8. T. Mullican. leveland sup- porters and some donbt is expressed’ in regard to the latter two. Reports today from the other districts of the county indicate that the con- vention will be close. A rnmor is prevalent here that there is some quiet scheming going on among certain members of that party to prevent the renomination of Wm. M. Mckaig for Congress, and that the influence of the regu- lars will be used to secure the nomination of State Senator Getty of Garrett for the position, is own county having declared for him for Congress and Senator Gorman for President. A pleasant social entertainment was given on Friday night by Capt. and Mre, Haycock at their cottage on Rockville Heights, which was attended by a large number of young ladies and gentlemen of this vicinity.

The resignation of Secretary Blaine from the cabinet of President Harrison, which, was first learned here through the colunins of yesterday evening's STAR, has created quite a sensation in political circles of both parties. The impor- tunt event was wholly unexpected and much gossip iv indulged in in regard to the effect it may have on the national conventions at Minne- apolis and Chicego. It is the general impres- sion here that the move means the nomination of Mr, Blaine, although the friends of the Pres- ident, of which he bas many in this county, still insist that the chances are in favor of the renomination of the What effect the nomination of Mr. Blai on the fortunes of Mr. Cleveland ject that appears to cause much interest in dem- ceratic circles here, and the generel. op that should that event happen Mr. Cleveland will undoubtedly be the nominee of their party. The advocates of the nomination of Senator Gorman are rather disgruntled at the prospect, in view of the fact that the Senator in speeches at this and other places during the last congres- sional campaign took occasion to laud the po- litical course of Mr. Blaine for many yearn SA.

Adozen people passing by Tax Stam office shortly before 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon watcbed aman as he pasted on one of the big plate-glass windows « bulletin, which bad on it the information that James G. Blaine had se: ered his connection with President Harrison's cabinet. That was the first intimation the pub- lie had of the political sensation of 1892. Then came THE Stax itself, with the correspondence and a brief but comprehensive statement of ite transmission. More was not obtainable at that time. Both the President and the ex-Secretary declined to do more than state that they had nothing to say. Members of the cabinet called at the White House as soon as they got the news, but what transpired in the conferences was not made public, To all the newspaper men who desired interviews the same reply was given. The only exception to this was in the case of Secretary Flkins, He told a Star reporter that the President would, despite Biaine's resigna- tion, be nominated on the first ballot. This ex- pression escaped bim before the President re- quested his cabinet to abstain from comment of any and every description. ter inthe afternoon the President sent for Assistant Secretary Wharton of the State De- ‘agin Mr. Wharton was then notified that would be required to act as Secretary for it. YESTERDAY'S MOVEMENTS, Yesterday was calm as any other Sabbath at the White House. Secretaries Foster, Elkins and Rusk and Attorney General Miller called and remained in consultation with the Presi- dent for some time. Their visits were made after the President retarned from morning service at the Church of the Covenant. There were a number of callers at the Blaine mansion yesterday, but only a «mall proportion of them saw the ex-Necretary, Among those who did see him were ex-Minister John W. Fos- ter and Senator and Mrs. Chandler. FATHER CRONIN'S DENIAL. Father Cronin, editor of the Buffalo Catholic Union and Times, denies emphatically the pub- lished statement that Mz. Blaine sent for him to obtain his views as to the effect of the Ducey letter upon the Catholic voters. He declares that his visit to Mr. Blaine was purely gcci- dental und had no political purpose. He merely called to pay his respects, and in the interview the name of Father Ducey was not even men- tioned. ee ee ee GEORGETOWN. the'presen CUSTOM HOUSE ENTRIES.

Mr. Williams, frech from the theological semi- RAFY, was engaged to fill: the position for the time specified. The result is that Mr. Williams has proved himself a good pulpit orator and the work of the church, in all its branches, bes been successfully carried out. Many of the con- gregation regret to lose him, and it is said that Mr. Fullerton will again tender his resignation. No action will be taken until the latter's re- turn. AGAINST DANCING.

The flames were started by an explosion of coal oil, with which « family living in the Kinneavey block were starting « fire to prepare brenkfest.

Most of the clergy of Port Jervia in their sere mons yesterday voiced the sentiment of the law-and-order-abiding section of the community in denunciation of the lynching of Bob Jackson or Lewis. Rev. H. Huduut of the Presbyterian Chureh denounced with unsparing severity the condact of those citizens who passively acqui- esced in the bloody deed and made no attempt to interfere with the mob. He said the Isnch- ‘ing was indefensible from every point of view, and characterized as murderers those who wers responsible for it, ‘That the Iynchers did not make the terrible mistake of banging the wrong man was, be eaid, purely « inatier of good lucky au the prisoner had not been positivels. identi- fied as the guilty man.
