The | ect was for sanitary, commercial and social It the latest dis s of science appertaining to sanitary to promote and combme the intelli- gence and influence of the trade against impo- | sition, injustice or encroachments upon their | common rights or interests; to encourage ional and state legislation for the further- ce of the interest of sanitary laws; to secure the members of the trade equitable treat- ment in their dealings with manufacturers and dealers in supplies, and to create and maintain a sanitary code at as high a standard as the progress of science teaches. It had been the aim and ambition of each ad- ministration to carry out the constitution and laws aud the protective regulations. ‘The pro- tective regulations are composed of few words, but ther meana great deal to the plumbers. ‘The principal section is: That they withdraw their patronage from any firm manufacturing or dealing im. plumbing materials selling to others than master plumbers. “The builders and builders’ Exchange” was happily responded to by Mr. H. A. Jones, pres- ident of the exchange. “OUR DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS.” Mr. Thomas J. King responded to the toast “Our District Commissioners and their able as- sistants, Capts. Lusk and Fiebeger.” He said that in Capt. Rosseil’s retirement the citizens of Washington were losing one of the best and grandest of men. It was unfortunate that the people did not have the forethought and enter- prise to hold such a valuable man. It was the duty of the board of trade, of all associations representing trades, to keep such an officer. If Congress is so niggardly as not to. provide suf- ficiently for such men, let the business men of the city come together and keep them. He *vmpathized with the Commissioners, who were merely the subordinates of Congress. If they had their way Washington of tomorrow would astonish the Washington of yesterday. ‘The system of improvements was behind the time.

Florville Hippolyte chooses to let the American: know, through these « papers, that the envoy to Washin Haytien annexationi icates a change of policy on the part of the black republic, whose eyes are about to turn no longer toward Europe and France, but toward the North American colos- sus, which aspires to incorporate within ite boundaries all of the northern hemixphere of the new world and the islands pertaining to it. A CALL To ARMS. This is also the time chosen by Gen. Florville Hippolyte to inform us in all hix speeches that we must bow servile heads to his dictatorial authority or bid farewell to our independence. He choos's this as the time to have placed at his dixposition the Kearsarge and the Concord of the American navy, constantly kept in our waters or within easy call. Hastiens!

Let powder answer the provocations of that unworthy chief who, hesitating at no means of usurping power, at no infamy to retuin it, is now preparing to sell his country to foreigners, rather than to submit to the will of the people, who are crying out at the top of their voices for the end of such things and the surrender of power to men more patriotic and more worthy. at ARD'S FU GEN. BEAUR! AL. It Was the Most Imposing Ever Held in New Orleans. ‘The funeral of Gen. Beauregard today was one of the largest and most imposing ever witnessed in New Orleans, All the exchanges were closed asa mark of respect to the deccased general, while business in the courts and other public ofices was virtually suspended. All day a con- stant stream of people poured through the city hall to get a last glimpse of the form of the well-known soldier. Among those who tock part in the funeral ceremonies were Gov. Foster ard other state officers and members of the Raphael Semmes Camp, Confederate Veterans, from Mobile. The cortege moved from the city ball a little after 3 o'clock for Mt. Airie cemetery. The flag presented to Gen. Beauregard br Mrs. Carey m Baltimore at the opening of the war, nd which he donated to the Washington ery afew years ago, was placed on the coffin by that command. ‘The military formed on Lafayette Square as follows: Washington Artillery, Continental Guards, fifth battalion, fourth “battalion, third battalion, Louisiana Field Artillery. the Army of ‘thern Virginia in double column, and on the right of the hearse was the Army of ‘Ten- nessee, on the lett and abreast was the Army of Northern Virginia.

PROPOSED SM: ‘The Man Who Lies iu a Neglected Grave on the Banks of the Potomac. Asstrong effort will be made, says the Balti- more Sun today,by representatives of the Mary- land Society of the Cincinnati to induce the next legislature to make an appropriation for the erection of a monument to Gen, William Small- wood, one of Maryland’s early governors, and | the st president of the society. Mr John S. Gittings was appointed a committee of one to take charge of the matter. ‘The last legislature je such an appropriation, but the bill pro- viding for the erection of the monument was vetoed by Governor Brown, Gen. Smallwood’s body lies neglected and unmarked.and bis grave is overgrown with weeds in a field on the banks of the Potomac in Charlies county, Md. The farm in which the body lies was formerly owned by Gen. Smallwood, but has tong since passed out of his famuy. Gen. Smallwood was one of Maryland + most gallant soldiers in the revolu- tion. He was bor in Kent county in 1782 and died in Prince George's county in 1792. He was elected colonel of the Maryland battalion in January, . and in July of that year, with nine companies, be joined Wash- ington in New York. On August 20 follow- | ing fis troops took an active part in the battle of Brookiyn Heights, being hotly engaged from sunrise until the last gun was fired, and losing nearly half their number. At White Plains, on October 18, the Maryland line again bore the brunt of the fight and Smallwood was wounded. ‘or gailantry on this occasion Congress ap- pointed him a brigadier general in October, In the battle at Fort Washington, in ‘ovember, 1776, bis command again suffered severely, and at Germautown, on October 4, 1777. the Maryland line captured part of the enemy's camp. Gen. Smallwood won new laurels iz. the battle of Camden and received the thanks of Congress for his gallant conduct to that conflict. ‘In September, 1780, he was appointed major general, but after the removal of Gates he declined to serve under Baron Steuben, who was his senior officer, declaring that he would leave the army unless Congress should antedate his comminsion two years. This claim was not allowed, but Gen. Small- wood remained in the army until November 15, 1783.

The Oak Leaf Pleasure Club was present at the meeting and requested that the two organiza- tion; be cousolidated. It was decided to snbmit the names of the members of that club to the organization and ballot for them separately. A motion offered by Mr. R. Ford Combs, to the effect that it be the sense of the organization that exch member of the Oak Lesf Club be ad- mitted upon his pro rata share of the assets of that club, instead of paying his initiation fee of $2, caused considerable debate and was finally defeated. The club decided to hold its next meeting at Wells’ Hall on Thursday evening, March 2, at 8 o'clock. Messrs. Duckett, Ford 4 Co. have sold lot No. 11 in Bladensburg to Mr. John Stephen for $1.200.

The International FE To the Faitor of The Evening Staz “Hawait, the,to ‘The shrine of each patriot’s devotion.” Any one who will examiue himself after read- ing the Hawaiian treaty of annexation must conclude that the law of nations, called in many instances only by courtesy international law, has made little progress in the matter of recognizing personal and property rights. We recognize the sovercign right of the queea by making treaties with her. Resident for- eigners and some of her subjects deposed her, seized the governm biie property and the queen's property, sct up a provisional t of their own creation, and this provisional government instantly hands over to the United States the sovereignty and the property we have always regarded as of the queen's government. We establish @ protectorate over the pro- visional government to enable the provisional government to successfully hand over to us the entire concern. One of the commissioners tells us that the natives are “an afiectionate, gentle race,” who will make no resistance’ to annexation, But they have made no expression of their wishes, and have been given no chance to express themselves. In fact they are not counted m the transaction. Yet they are a people and have a people's rights, and we have | always until now treated with a government of their own making. Mr. Hill's snap convention Mr. Cleveland isa bauble to this. When General Bragg in 1862 organized a provisional government on the Kentucky state house steps he should have induced England to extend a protectorate over his infant’ government until it could pull itself together to throw itself permanently into England's arms. ‘Then there would have been a precedent for this thing. If we may accept all this from the provisional government then the provisional government is the thing. Bat then the queen is nothing. If she hae any personal or sovereign rights we may not disregard them. Neither the commmis- sioners nor the provisional government can make wrong right, If she has no personal rights why, then, do we cive her $20,000 every year of her life?” If she has no sovereign rigits why is she allowed army of sixteen soldiers? We all say the Pinkertons may not keep up an army, for t is the exclusive prerogative of sovereignty ex-queen? Is it nothing bi cause so little?

A short time ago I visited Washington | and was surprised and refreshed with the won- derful progress it has made. It is doubtful if there is another city in the United States that | has made more solid progress during that time. When Charles Dickens visited Washington about fifty years ago he iu his American notes diculed its claim of being a city of magnifi- | cent distances, branding it rather as a place of | magnificent pretensions, But no one now can | with justice #0 ridicule it, for it is not only & city of magnificent distances, but of | magni cent residences, magnificent streets, magni cent parks, magnificent buildings and magnifi- cence generally. It would take too much of your valuable space to specity all of the improvements that have occured in Washington within the Inst twenty years, but Lam constrained to mention afew. The Washington monument, then an un- |sightly pile. 18 now completed ‘and massive, © | fine tribute to the “Father of his country. | The State, War and Navy building, the pen- |sion building, the bureau of engraving and | printing, the’ National Museum next to the | | Smithsonian Institute, the medical museum, the Corcoran Art Gallery, census building and many others are all rich, splendid and orna- mental additions to the city. The immense Congressional Library, now under construction, will. when completed, undoubtedly be the finest building of its kind in the world. “I know of no city that is as prettily and as well paved as Washington, I perceive that streets have been greatly ex- tended, now street car lines established and beautiful parks ndded to the city.

To the E:itor of The Evening Star: Dear Sir: I entireiy dissent from the opinion that chiefs of division should be taken from the classified service.

Smith, paying teller of the First National Bank of Wilmington, Del., is a self- confessed embezzler to the amount of $55,900, and he 1s now in charge of the United States marshal. J. P. Winchester, who became presi- dent of the bank in November last, had been trying for along time to have Smith make a balance sheet, but the teller kept postponing the work. Last Saturday two other clerks were | directed to make the sheet, which they did on | | Sunday, reporting the shortage on Monday. | | Last Friday Bank Examiner Stone called at the bank and asked for a baiance sheet. | _ Yesterday Smith, whohad left the bank on Saturday noon sick, sent for Mr. Winchester and confessed his crime. He then went and ered himself to the United States marshal. There was every check put around the teller, but be kept at his peculations, He pleads that the money was spent on his family. His | | method was to take canceled checks from the safe, put them on a spindle through the old cancellation holes and pocket ‘the emount of the check, thy last payment not being charged against the depositors, | The bank has a capital of $500,000 and a| surplus of $127,000, Smith being also bonded | for £15,000 in a security company.

The subject of “How to Improve the Ronds We Have" was taken up at yesterday's session of the farmers’ institute at Manassas, Va, by Maj. W. M. King, who under Cleveland's ad- ministration was one of the chicfs of the De- partment of Agriculture. He exhibited » diagram illustrating his plan of roadmxking, which included among many other details a thorough underdraining with tile. W. B. Dodge of Fairfax county followed with an eseay illustrating his views by several de- scriptions of successful and unsuccessful efforts at road improvement. He opposed the plan of filling holes in roads with stone, but said the holes should be filled with dirt and the stone | broken up in small pieces and put over the sur- face. He favored the use of tile instead of small cross bridges. Mr. J. F. Jackson, editor of the Southern Planter of Richmond, followed, criticising the suggestions of the former speakers as patch- work, and advocating with great earnestness and atlength what he admitted were radical views. His plan, in bricf, was for the national government to loan its credit to counties, bY means of which money could be raised on loans, due in seventy-five years, at 3 per cent or less, and a thoroughly good macadamized road sys tem established. He thought the state of Vir- ginia should expend $10,000,000 in making 5.000 miles of such roads as the Roman empire made, which had lasted 2,000 years, He brought out a startling array of statistics to prove that this was the cheapest plan in the long run, and he certainly captured some of the most practical farmers of the institute, He was followed by Col. A. 8. Buford, presi- dent of the world’s fair commission of Virginia, who stated that his life had been largely spent in developing lines of transportation, and he spoke for ome time ona line similar to Mr. lackson's, but not indorsing his special plan. He then urged the farmers to insist on the county authcrities making an appropriation to enable the commission to give Virginia a proper representation at the Columbian exposition, He closed with a reference to his presence at Manasens at the time of the first battle, thirty- two years before. Mr. Eben E. Mason, a farmer residing on the original Mount Vernon estate, while indorsing Col. Buford’s appeal for the exposition, gave him some mild hits from the standpoint of « Union man during the war. Both of them brought tears to the eyes of their anditors. Mr. L. O. Howard of the Department of Agri culture, closed the morning session with an address on the corn weevil, which interested the farmers very much. Michigan Republicans Celebrate.

In the same number E! Tiempo takes Mr. Matias Romero to task for his kindly letter of condolence to Minister Ryan on the death of Mr. Blaine, saying that it had nothing to do with what his personal feelings toward Mr. Blaine might have been, but it objected to having it understood that Mr. Blaine was a friend to Mexico, declaring that he had always been Mexico's enemy, as well as the enemy of the entire Latin-America, A Ten-Year-Old Boy Convicted of Murder.

They Had Been Plotting to Siege the Hawatian Islands. K. J. D. Kimberly of Honolulu, claiming to have a report for Queen Victoria on affairs in Hawaii, tolda thrilling story in St. Paul the other afternoon to some Canadian friends, one of whom gave itto the reporter of a morning Paper. He said both the Germansand the English had been plotting for a year or more past to get possession of the islands. The Germans had all their plans laid and on | the day that the grand step was to be taken about 100 Germans and natives were brought | to Honolulu from the plantations of the Ger- s by those who were in charge of the Ger- man interests, It was their intention to tak possession of the islands ahead of the Ameri cans, and their plana were carefully laid. When the American volunteers were placed at the police station as guards the Germans de- cided to go and drive them away. There were a number of Englishmen who sided with the | Germans in view of the “high-handed proceed- | ings” of the Americans. ‘To show you how strong was the popular sentiment against the Americans,” continued | Mr. Kimberly, “the men were armed from the German and Enghsh consulates. | “They moved up to the palace at midnight in solid body. ‘They made a demand for the wur- | render of the Americans, and when they refused | to comply they shot at them. The Americans ran at them with their loaded | guns and dlebiberately shot back at them. Four | of the Germans were killed, The Americans | threatened to shoot them all if they continued | to interfere, and the men discreetly retired. | ‘The Americans allowed them to carry away the dead bodies of the men who had been shot. “We afterward had a consultation over the | matter, but the German and English consuls declined to take any@urthsr steps in the mut- ter. “Of course England would uphold her dig- nity, but none of the English had been killed. The Americans claimed five men had been killed in a street figh i matter was made. peligferring to John Ball's attitude Mr. Kim- erly said: You know that England has been making at- tempts to get possession of the islands for some time, and would have succeeded had it not been for the Americans, “That is the reason the princess of the royal blood was taken to England to be educated. She wax under the protection of the crown, and would have disposed of the islands to her maj- esty the queen, “When England obtained possession of the islands the plantations now in the possession of the American owners would be compelied to give a proper revenue to the crown. Other ar- rangements were to be provided for ther proper taxation and government. : Aw ington Boy Africa, Correspondence of the St. Louis Globe Democrat. “Tmet a charming young American when I was in Africa,” said William C. Andrews at the St.James yesterday, “His name is Richard Dorsey Mohun, and he Lelongs in Washington, D.C. He is out there as the commercial agent ot the United States, and owes his appointment to James G. Blaine. I met him at Lukolela, a little place about 300 milek up the Congo. He | divides his time between that place and another about 100 miles further up called Equator sta- tion. He has had lots of adventures, and if he lives te get back home he will have many a rare story to tell. I met him one day when we were hant hunting, and I must give him the credit of being one of the bravest fellows I have ever met. We came across three mam- moth fellows, elephants, and, of course, we started in to do battle. One of the giants ‘was injured and a strapping young negro, thinking he was dead, ventured too near. The brute had bim clos in his trunk in an’ instant and another second would have done for the negro. Well, this man Mobun, entirely regardiess of the fact that the wounded eiephant’s two mates were within a few feet of him wild jumped to the rescue of the black and slashed that elephant with his knife until the trunk was useless to him as a means of dealing death. | Mohan had a very close call from a seance with | the other brutes, but got off alive and with the young black.

Nearly @ year ago a stranger died at Omuha, and during his brief iliness Dr. King, ex-county physician, attended him. The name under which this man was known the detective and Dr. King refuse to divulge, but it was that of a wealthy man and one who bad his life insured for about $10,000, ‘The physician signed the death certificate and | it was accepted by the insurance company. and | the money was paid to the man’s heirs in Chi- cago. A man saw the heavily insured man | atter his alleged death and funeral in Omaha and notified the insurance company, which at once placed the matter in the hands of detect- ives. The body was exhumed and was found | not to be that of the man to whom the insur- | ance was issued.
