What the Congregational Cla! About Last Night. MR. B. H. WARNER SUGORSTS SOME coND:- TIONS TO IMPOSE ON IMMIGRANTS—sUSTICE BREWER OPPOSED TO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ‘THE CHINESE—REV. MR. CAMP TALES OF THE RELIGIOUS SIDE OF THE QUESTIOX. Talked . Among the comparatively recent organisa- tions in our city is the Congregational Clab. Its name suggests its object, namely, the ad- vancement of the interests of Congregationalism, and also to secure concert of action on matters of public interest. Regular meetings are held at stated times, for which a topic for discussion is assigned and addresses provided bearing upon it. The program last evening called for «half hour of social greetings from 6:30 to7, a busi- ness meeting from 7 to 7:15, and from 7:15 to 9 discussion on the topic, “Shall We Hay Restricted Immigration ?” Justice Brewer, the president of the club, was in the chair, and after a few preliminary re- marks he introduced as the fitet speaker of the evening Mr. B. H. Warner, whom he character- ized as one who was always vitally interested in any question which had to do with the welfare of the country. ' MR. WARNER'S ADDRESS. ‘Mr. Warner in opening his remarke asked, “What has made our country great?” and then answered the question as follows: “Not alone its three million six hundred thousand square miles of area, its mineral. industrial and com- mercial resources, the wealth which has crowned its vast enterprises, rather its people, they who came before the repnbiic was born from an at- and religious oppres- sion to a Iand where they through many hard- | ships aud sore trials find homes and founda government. The Puritans came to this cou: try in 1620, 128 years after ite discovery, more than 270 years ago, and what they did to form our government isa matter of history. _Con- gregationalism can look back to its American ancestry with pride, and tonight reviewing the past ask whether the sacred trust handed down by its forefathers is being faithfully executed.” Mr. Warner then proceeded to show by statistics that while our civilization and pros- perity had wonderfully progressed during the existence of our republic there had come to our shores millions of the residents of Europe and other countries, many of them totally un- fit for citizenship and lacking in all qualities which might, under the influence of time and change, make them so. THE QUESTION OF RESTRICTION. “Shall this immigration,” asked he, “be in any way restricted? Can our nation make good citizens of so large a number of foreigners com- ing to our shores? ‘There can bo uo doubt of the inherent right of any government to protect itself againat the location within its borders of persons who are inimical to its welfare from education else- where, or who from a lack of intelligence or moral principle are as dangerous as wild beasts to the welfare of the community in which they locate, or those who are liable to become a charge upon the public by reason of any defect whatsoever. Congress has commenced totake action in the right direction by giving to the Secretary of the Treasury authority in certain cases to pre- vent the landing of persons whose want of every quality calculated to develop them into good citizenship is 60 apparent as to be easily dis- covered. Only one-third of one per cent were during the past year refused a landing under this law. Where do these people locate and find homes and what employment is there by which they are rendered self-supporting? A large number could neither read nor write their own language, and statisticians estimate that less than 8 per cent of those over sixteen years of age who cannot read or write ever learn to do so. Nearly three-fifths of our paupers are foreign born or came from foreign-born parents; yet in 1800 only 1434 per cent of our entire popa- lation was of foreign birth. Quoting from the census of 1890 the speaker showed that at this time only $44 per cent of our population are of native parentage. ¢ law to which reference has been made has not had the effect of reducing immigration, for it has increased 12 per cent over previous year. The speaker maintained that this enormous yearly influx of foreigners was exerting an in- fluence upon our political, social and religious interests which was destined to be as disastrous as it was apparent. CONDITIONS PROPOSED. ‘Then he asked, “How can this evil be abated?” In answer to this he suggested four conditions which should be imposed upon those desiring an entrance to our land. L An educational qualification. If » man cannot read and write let him study and ac- quire the power to improve himself. 2. Require all agents of steamship lines land- ing immigrants to certify that their passengers were not induced by advertising and specious promises and do not fall within restricted classes. 3. Immugrants shall have a certificate of good character and requisite education from consular service. 4. Provide for more careful inspection of our |own ports covering the requirements men- tioned. ‘Mr. Warner concluded his address with an appeal for unity of purpose and action in order to bring about such laws as would efficiently restrict the wholesale and unprofitable immi- gration and thus preserve the integrity and purity of the land which we all love and for which our forefathers lived and died. THE RELIGIOUS SIDE oF Ir. Rev. C. W. Camp was then introduced and spoke upon the religious phase of the question. His topic was “Can we evangelize these multi- tudes of immigrants?" The speaker took rather a bright view of the situation and said that a large number of those who came here came for the very reason that the pilgrims came, i. e., to secure religions freedom. He cited the case’ of the reformed German Lutherans who rettled in certain parts of our land and whose conduct was beyond reproach. He mentioned | other classes of immigrants who, he said, read- ily assimilated with our people. ‘The drift of bis remarks were that the masses of immigrants could with proper ac- tivity on the part of Christian people be brought up to suchastate as to make good citizens. JUSTICH BREWER ON THE CHINESE QUESTION. Justice Brewer then took up the question of justice. “Is the nation justin its relative at- titude toward the Chinese and other nations?” The speaker prefaced his address with the statement that it would be manifestly improper for him to deal with this topic as regards any specific case, but he knew of nothing to pre- | veut his enunciating his view of the principle | those who would involved. said he, “is essential to the per- of any nation. The question is whether we as nation have dealt justly with he Chinese. Justice does not demand that we should throw open the doors of our land to ve « demoralizing influence it. But even in this we should not go too up tr ar ‘The spenxer then went on to say that al- though the nation was not directly responsible for many acts directed against the Chinese by local legislatures, still it was in @ measure re- sponsible since these retlected the feeling of People m certain parts of the country: “The nation is responsible, however,” said he, “for such acts as that prohibiting the ad- n of Chinese laborers to this countr.'; i | The Chinese laborer is excluded hecause he possesses the very qualities which would be most praiseworthy in a workman in our own country. There are immigrants of other nations who | PO* ‘TRANSFERS APPROVED. Change of Station of Batteries of the Third and Fourth Artillery.

President Ordway of the Center market calied upon the Commissioners this morning with reference to the report of Lieut. Amiss upon the condition of the use of olesale market spaces on B street northwest, 4s published in yesterday's Stax. He said that the market company was willing to take charge of the matter and be responsible for the clean- ing of the street and the preservation of order. ‘The great object was to permit the occupancy of the spaces by bona fide producers only. At present jayhawkers squeezed themselves into the places and sold their decayed vegetables under the guise of farmers, BIDe OPENED. Bids were opened by the Commissioners to- day for building fire-proof stairways in the Wallach School building. The bids were: Pet- tit & Drips, €2.788.22; Geo. White & Sons, 290, CAPT.

Our correspondent writes: The full-length life-size portrait was shown to me by Signor Cannavina, the antiquarian, who purchased it from Count Aldobrandi at Bologna, The whole, with the exception of the face and hands, had been coarsely painted over. This extraneous coat being removed, the figure in the uniform of aSpanish admiral was revealed. The pose d coloring are very quiet; the face is that of a man with bair just turning gray. The eyes are blue, thoughtfal and even sad; the mouth is firmly cut and he wears a pointed short blonde beard and mustache. On the tapering fingers are three massive rings. The canvas is of a peculiar twilled kind. Signor Cannavine esses documents which vouch for the au- are xo more fit to become citizens of our nation than the Chinese, yet there is no law excluding them. A general discussion followed, which was icipated in by Mr. B. P. Davis, Rev. Dr. E. Bi Webb, Rev. G. J. Jones, Ror’ BON. Sey mour, Rev. C. H. Small and others. After this discussion a collation was served in the social room of the church. SOME OF THOSE PRESENT. Among those present were Justice Brewer, Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Warner, Rev. C. W. Camp, Rer. 8. M.

One of the most prominent citizens of the District in ing of this matter to a Stan reporter said he considered the interests of the District would be better served by retaining in office, without t to politics, all of the effi- cient clerks. He did not believe tha: the District government should be made e political machine and he did not think the so-called inent democrats who had taken very small part in the recent campaign should press the elaims of other men for office at the expense of the Dis- trict. He did not doubt that the sentiment of the District of Columbia to changes in office was overwhel1 cee the Jacksonian Principles of “to victor belongs the spoils.” No changes should be made, he thought, unless the good of the service demanded it, and he predicted that the [may loherr some democrats would force apon the Commissioners would not prevail. gee IN THE POLICE COURT. Some of the Cases Disposed of by Judge Kimball. “King” Emmett Callahan, the man who was sent to the work house yesterday by Judge Kimball because of his conduct at the White House, as published in yesterday's Stax, claims that he isaking appointed by God, and this fact was communicated to Judge Kimball this morning. It only strengthened the judge's be- lief that the man’s mind was not sound, and that an examination as to his mental condition should be made. WANTED TO BEG IN THE EAST BOOM. Before the publication in yesterday's Stas of the action of the court in “King” Callahan's case another man called at the Executive Man- sion and got into trouble. He was an old col- ored man and he appeared in the east room, thinking he could gather ina few coins and leave with the feeling of a millionaire. But he | hind gone to the wrong place, for Sergt.

A bond of $60 was required, and in default of the bond she was given three months in the poor house.

Hoo Istaxp, Mp., March 20, 1898, The revenue steamer Crawford left Baltimore yesterday noon, under orders from the Treas- ury Department to convey a party consisting of Surgeon Stoner of the marine hospital ser- vice, District Attorney Ensor, Mr. Dunn of the coast and survey, Pilot Lewis of the Baltimore Pilots’ Association and Lawyer Tuck, all of Baltimore. ‘This party has surveyed and will report upon the advisability of establishing a quarantine station on Hog Isiand. The Crawford reached here last evening. Early this morning Mr, Tuck and Mr. Ensor went ashore to confer with Mr. Redmon, the owner of the island. ‘The weather being favorable Mr. Dunn, as- sisted by an officer and a boat's erewfrom the Crawford, commenced laying and sounding a five-fathom line from Hog Island bar to the western end of the island, continuing this and the land survey during the day. Upon the return to the Crawford of Mr. Ensor and Mr. Tuck they were taken to Mill- stone landing, where carriage were obtained for the fifteen miles drive to Leonardtown to ex- amine the records in proof of title. On their way back to Hog Island a call was made at Solomon's Island to ascertain the feel- ings of the inhabitants relative to the estab- lishment of a quarantine station at the mouth of the Patuxent. Dr. Marsh reported to Dr. Stoner that he had made careful inquiry through the village and that the sentiment of the villagers was unanimously in its favor, and that 80 far from anticipating any danger to them- selves or injury to their business prospects they were anxious to have the quarantine eatab- ed, Upon the party's return to Hog Island Dr. Stoner, accom) by Dr. Marsh, Capt. Lewis and Mr. Richmond, went ashore’ to in- spect the island, select building sites and locate 1@ position of the proposed wharf. Opposition to placing the government in possession of the property arose from the fact that there is a lien of considerable amount on the estate of which Hog Island is a Part snd the mortgagee fears that the e:tab- ishment of a quarantine station on the island would so far impair the value of the remainder of the property as to make his interest insecure. A proposition will be made to the govern- ment to well the whole property at a fair valua- tion. This is, perhaps, the best place on Chesa- peake bay for the establishment of a quaran- tine station. It affords a splendid harbor, is about sixty-three miles from Baltimore and r water can be found nearer the beach here than at any other harbor on the bay. The Crawford will be in Washington about the 25th or 26th instant. EB. OPPOSITION TO THE SITE. ‘The Baltimore Sun today says: The following communication, signed by thirty members of the city council has been sent to Senator Gor- man, with a request that it be ted to Secretary Carlisle: Scie “We learn that it is proposed to establish a natioual quarantine station at Hog Ialand, near the mouth of Patuxent river, seventy-seven miles below Baltimore. To subject vessels bound to cur port to examination there would involve @ loss of one day’s time for all Balti- more-bound vessela, While recognizing the Vital importance of proper measures to protect the public health, we think an effort should be made to avoid aay unnocemsery delays to com- If @ national station must be estab- tablished for Baltimore a location should be sought not more inconvenient for Baltimore- Dound vessels than Sandy Hook is for Nei York. ‘The subject is of great importance. an we ask your aid that our city’s interests Feecive proper consideration.” ‘A similar paper has been signed by the board of trade, Residents of the neighborhood of Hog Island have been holding mectings to protest agai: the use of Hog Island by the government us a quarantine station. Protests numeronsly signed will be promptly forwarded to Washington. aE, Gift Enterprise Journalism. From the Newark Journal, What is going to be the end of the remark- able competition for the attainment of mere ephemeral “‘circulation” by many of the news- papers of the day? If this goes on at its present rate the time is not far distant when a great many of our esteemed contemporaries will have abandoned all the old and legitimate features and purposes of a newspaper, and the question will not be which of them ‘can best record current events, but which of them can offer the most attraction to the curiosity hun- ter or the seeker after some paltry prize. The gift enterprise feature in journalism is confession that the Rewspaper employing this method to water its circulation cannot stand on its own merits, The logic of this is 80 obvious that the gi spaper loses more in ite per- manent standing than it gains in temporary cir- culation by coupon cutting. Advertisers ask whut benefit can accrue to them from copies of newspapers purchased in bulk for the sake of the coupons and then sunt to the junkman. rs who are saluted every time they open a paper with announce- ments of votes for the moat popular this or that, or of alluring gifts of valuable articles, turn from them in weariness and disgust, and sigh for the time when the fakir and cheap jack were not the controlling power in jour- nalism. ee Choosing a Husband. From the Argonaut. But what rubbish is all this talk of “best pos- sible husbands!” A girl tekes the man who offers, if he appears to be upright, honorable and in earnest. If she does not. she runs a risk of going to seed, with a red nose, a canary bird and lap dog.

Before starting the princess waid she would not deliver an address at the meeting. Mr. Davies said that last evening would be spent at the hotel.

The princess announced yesterday that she ress to the public would give out a farewell fore she sails. ‘All she wants is fair play,” said Mr. Davies. ‘and Uncle 8am will give ber that.” The New York Sun says that Mr. Davies, the princess’ guardian, supplemented her letter with the following statement: “Ihave been so often asked if I am satisfied with the result of our mission that I think it well to explain that we bad no special mission, and that we do not claim to have influenced in any degree the position of the: Hawaiian ques- tion, It is @ mere incident of the Hawaiian constitution that the Princess Kaiulani is the legal successor to Queen uokalani, and I am not here to protest agaiust the rights of the the Hawaiians by revolution. $0 set aride the monarchy altogether.

He thought that two months would suffice, although, he said, he should not sacrifice thoroughness to haste. "He had heard much of the laziness of the islanders, and perhaps the Hawatians would object to the American plan of rushing things.

The Tremont Temple fire may not have caught from defective electric light wires. In- deed, the probability is that another cause is responsible for this litest destructive conflagra- tion. But the overhead wires on the street, outside the building. were on band as usual to obstruct, y and endanger the work of the firemen. ‘This experience i becoming painfally monoto- nous. It is endured at every fire in the central part of the city where the wires are the thick- est, and it is responsible for no inconsiderable share of the losses which Boston has suffered in this disastrous season. How long is this nuisance and imposition to be borne? ‘The electric companies say that it will cost them a great deal of money to put their wires under ground, and they do not want to go to the expense. But a fraction of the values whieh have gone up in fire and smoke sinee the beginning of the year in Boston would suftice to bury every eleo- tric wire in the city. —— Robert Louis Stevenson has sailed for San Francisco, whence he will proceed via New York to England.
