AFULL STATEMENT OF HIS VIEWS. The State Interferes Too Much, He Thinks, With Individuals. POINTSIN THE SPEECH. ROME, N Y¥., July 2%.—At the pienic o the Hop Growers’ Association at Sylvan Beach today Senator David B. Hill made an eloquent address, his subject being “Personal Libert, Senator Hill spoke in part as follow: “Personal liberty, as it is generally un- derstood, especially in its best if not its broadest sense, means the largest measure of liberty which it is possible to confer upon the individual citizen not injurious to the real or substantial interests of the whole community. “It may be safely asserted as a general rule that a citizen may eat, drink and wear whatever he pleases, and that He may sow and reap in his fields whatever they will grow, and that he may manu- facture in his shop whatever his skill may invent. These are natural rights which he Possessed before governments were founded or constitutions framed, rights which he never surrendered and rights which con- stitutions and laws cannot justly take away. Abuse of Personal Liberty. “The abuse of personal liberty by the citizen is always made the plausible pre- text for its prohibition or restriction. You are familiar with the old threadbare argu- Ment: Men indulge their appetites to excess, therefore the good of the community re- quires that the manufacture and sale of what they eat and drink must be prevented or repressed by stringent and offensive ws. “The fallacy, to a extent, of this argument is apparent when it is ‘reflected that the abuse of any right furnishes no adequate reason for its destruction. “How many absolute rights would be permitted to remain if the reasonable and just exercise thereof at all times was the Imperative condition of their existence? preme ia not frequently abused, and-yet who not juently al yet who brepared to declare that ‘it, therefore, Liberty of Conscience. “The air is filled with the noise of dis- graceful religious dissensions upon abstract questions of orthodox doctrine, and prose- cutions or trials for alleged heresy among most respectable denominations are be- coming so frequent that it is impossible for we poor miserable sinners to determine what is heresy and what is not. yet a total denial of the liberty of conscience would scarcely be tolerated in this land of boasted religious freedom. low often is the privilege of writ of habeas corpus invoked in trivial cases and in cases without merit and for the purpose of delaying justice of at the instance of unscrupulous legal advocates for unjusti- flable ends or upon insufficient grounds, yet these conceded abuses are ly sufficient to warrant the destruction of that most valuable writ, which has always justly been regarded as the sheet anchor of our Uberties, and the denial of which would be the very essence of tyranny itself. “The guaranty of the right of, trial by Jury has always been most sacredly guard: ed, yet how many ‘of justice are believed to occur through such trials, how susceptible are jurymen to the influ- ence of popular passion, how many wrong verdicts are rendered, how many decisions Teached through ignorance, prejudice, par- tality and sometimes even through corrup- tion, and how many verdicts of juries are set ‘aside by higher courts composed of learned judges, yet notwithstanding the ex- isting defects and infirmities in the ad- ministration of justice, serious though they are, it 1s extremely doubtful whether the f any other method of trial acceptable. ll conclude that no personal right of the citizen should be abolished or a simply because it 1s Hable to abuse. A contrary doctrine destroys the free moral agen of men, dimini: per- sonal responsibility, invest governments with arbitrary power, it is opposed to the spirit of our free institutions. Raising Hops. “There are those whose views are so ex- treme that they would oppose the raising of hops because such production facilitates the manufacture of beer. They seem deaf to the fact that hops must be deemed to be a participant in whatever evils pertain to the inordinate use of any article into whose manufacture they largely. enter. They forget the further fact that hop rais- ‘is an honorable occupation and a vast industry which furnishes employment to thousands of people and absorbs much cap- Ital in the transaction of its business in the markets of the world. “It may be suggested that to be consist- ent in their inconsistency that they should go further and insist upon some restric- tions on the raising of rye and corn because they constitute some of the Ingredients which enter into the manufacture of Iquors and are necessarily tarnished with or in some degree responsible for the evils which pertain to the ‘such liquors. “They would prohibit or restrict the manufacture of tobacco because foolish men and silly boys sometimes smoke too much. They would curtail numerous in- mocent amusements because they are oftentimes carried to excess. They would prevent athletic exercises in our schools because they might develop a tendency toward professional pugilism, They would Prevent the manufacture of firearms in times of peace because they are usually the instruments of murder and must be deemed to share as accessories in the odium pertaining to the crime committed by their ald. Personal Rights in Labor. “In the realm of labor and in the domain of industry, the principle involved in per- sonal berty cannot be too frequently os- serted. The fact cannot be too strongly emphasized that every man’s labor is his own, and that he can do with it as he pleases. He has @ personal right to name is own wages, his own house, his own du- ties, and all the other terms ‘under which he is willing to be employed, and it they are satisfactory to the one who hires, an ent {3 reached and there is an end Of controversy between them. ‘The con- tract is a personal matter with which no other workman or employer has any right to interfere. In the performance of such labor in a peaceful and orderly manner, the workman—whoever he may be—is entitled to the protection of the law which guaran- tees equal privileges to all its citizens. These considerations of the relative rig! of the individuals engaged in labor pursu do not conflict with the obligations which workmen assume when they voluntarily join labor organizations, except in the mat- ter of personal honor’ which may be in- volved, and which may require submission to the conclusions of the majority. “The legal rights of such individuals un- questionably remain the same, irrespective of the question of such membership. They always must be deemed to reserve the ab- stract legal right of repudiating such mem- hershiy whenever they so prefer, their with drawal only occastoning such’ minor for- feitures or penalties as reasonable b might inflict. They cannot be compelled to act against their will. Their personal right cannot be jeopardized. “It does ‘not follow that the membership of labor organizations cannot easily be kept within the law. Of course they must not violate contracts or disobey orders, or conspire to do unlawful acts, or intimidate other workmen who desire to work but who do not belong to thelr body. They must be held to a strict accountability to the law, the same as all others. “In my opinion the citadel of personal Uberty in this country is more in danger of being undermined by the ill-considered opinions of some of its judges, straining doubtful points and invoking quibbles in favor of corporate power, and creating legal fictions to ertpple the efforts of honest labor struggling against great odds to as- sert its dignity, than from all the arbitrary demonstrations that were ever made by workingmen. “The mercantile exchanges in our great cities are clamoring for relief from laws which restrict thelr business in accordance with old-fashioned plans and notions. The whole country is at last awakening to the impropriety of making our money metals @ matter of merchandise by the govern. ment itself and are hoping that a patri- otie Congress, soon to convene, will faith- fully respond’ with promptitude to the de- mands of publle sentiment in that re- wal would prove “We may intemperate use of ‘The Alert at Yokohama A cable message was received at the Navy Department today announcing the arrival of the U.8.S.

NEW YORK, July 29—The opening of the stock market this morning was some- what feverish, prices yarying from 1-4 to 1 per cent from last night's closing. The action of the savingé banks in trying to enforce the 30 and @ day notice of with- drawal was responsible in a measure for the decline, as was also yesterday's raiding of General Electric. The banks connected with the clearing house are not in favor of adopting the sug- gestion mentioned above, and they may have sufficient influence to defeat it. After three days of comparative quiet, as far as failures were concerned, tele- grams from Great Falls, Minn., reported the suspension of the First National Bank of that town, The Union Banking Com: pany of Portland, g., also closed its doors this morning. ‘The only encouraging feature of the day was the en, nt of a considerable quantity of gold for shipment during the ‘Lazard res will ship Grane, Seer rivets Netw edteal ,( from Liverpool nex!

LONDON, July 29, 4 p.m.--'The stock mar- ket today Was marked by the usual quiet- ness that prevails on Saturdays. An easy feeling succeeded the nervousness of the settlement which closed >2stenlzy. ‘The satisfactory result of the settlement was obtained throuzh much assistance given by large firms to smaller operators. ‘There was a slight reaction at the open- ing this morning in American rallroad curities in sympathy with che lower prices at the New York stock exchange yesterday, but subsequently the market rallied and the loss was more than recovered. The market became firm all round. A very large “bear” account is stiil open. Shares are scarce, and, therefore, # fur- ther recovery in values seems assured. The markets outside of that for American ruil- road securities were irregular. The changes, however, were not important. A fair amount of gold was bought in the bullion market for the American account. Gold to the amount of £200,W0 was snipped to the United States today. 5:30 p. m.—The market closed irregular. ‘There was little doing, but there was mani- fest disposition to sell. American railroad securities closed decidedly dull. There was & more pronounced weakness on the street after the official close of the stock ex: change, most prices falling from 1-4 to 1-: below those of the official close.

A sick mule, an old musket, a brickbat, two women and a man figured in a case in the Police Court today. Daniel Frisby, a colored man, owner of the mule, was charged with having cruelly treated his wife and mother-in-law. Susan Honest was the name of the latter. Dan was able to tell a good story of his domestic unhap- piness, but he made it apparent that the females were too much for him. He told of the illness of the mule during the night and the purchase of medicine for the animal. “Was it whisky and red pepper?" asked the court, “and did you take some of it?" Dan smiled at the mention of the whisky and said Pe ceaiene the mule’s medicine else, We ndvanother thing. judge.” sald Dan, “here's where she struck me with a brick,” pointing to a wound over his eye.

Some Good Fishing Stories—Narrow Escape of Two Young Ladies From Drowning— Washingtonians Who Are There. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Atlantic City, N. J., July 27, 1898. The crowds at Atlantic City this week have been something tremendous. Thou- sands on the avenues, thousands on the beach, thousands in the surf. Many of the hotels have been crowded and the propri- etors are providing themselves with cots in case of an overtlow of guests. Indeed At- lantie City is running over into neighboring hotels. Carisbrooke Inn at Ventnor, on the way to Longport, is a popular place for People who prefer this quiet spot to the gay and festive city-by-the-sea. Among the guests at Carisbrooke Inn I may mention Mrs. Louise Reilly and daughter, W. N. Miller, Miss Alloway, Mrs. B. Converse and daughter and Mrs. Edward H. Coave. Two Philadelphia girls came very near losing their lives Saturday in the surf, Mi Florence Leeblers and Miss Florence Man- ship. They drifted into deep water and would have gone down had not Life Guards Repp and Mills seen their danger and gone to their rescue. The girls were very nearly gone, but have recovered sufficiently to be about again. Some Fishing Stories. The yacht Cornet, Capt. William Downs, had a gay party of five out yesterday, who were the successful captors of sixteen fine bluefish. Those in the party were Mr. H. Lyon, Mr. Lawrence, Miss Viola Haver- stick, Mr. "Paul McKnight. Capt. Mark Sooy, one of the guards, caught thirty-six bluefish Sunday, and the rest of his party were equally successful. Great excitement was caused tls week by the capture of a shark pilot fish. It had rows of suckers on its lower jaw sim- Mar to those on the octopus or cuttlefish. Old fishermen declare it to be the largest of its kind ever caught in this vicinity. It 4s to be hoped it is the last. ‘Two little girls caught a bluefish on the edge of the surf Saturday. Little Mamie Scull and Adele Kerr were walking with Mrs. Johnson, who Is staying at the Little- Page cottage.’ They saw the large fish flop- bing in the water and mat to land it successfully, though they had some trouble with the slippery thing. Mr. Bluefish en- tertained the guests of the Littlepage cot- tage very successfully that evening at din- ner. ‘The bicycle railway is completed and peed a novel amusement for the young rolks. The road is on a wooden scaffold fifteen feet above the ground, with rails set about three feet apart. The road 1s about 700 yards long and the bicycles make the en- Ure distance. The “bicycle” is somewhat like a safety wheel, though the wheels are overhead instead of beneath and run on the rails. The rider drives the machine with his feet and can attain a great speed. A new and interesting place on the board walk is an Egyptian museum, where may be found armor and musical’ instruments of Egypt, mummies, copies of the Koran, cient coins and stamps. Many interested begple explore ths place daily; The weather is cooler, and threatening storms lle grumbling on the horizon, Personal Mention. Capt. Allison Nallor is down for a few days making final arrangements for the in- fantry encampment. He has secured quar- ters at the United States Hotel for his family, who will arrive early In August.

Impressive Service to Be Held in the Temple This Evening. ‘The private funeral services over the body of the late grand commanier of the Scot- tish Rite, Dr. James Cunningham Isutch- elor, which were inadvertently stated in yesterday's Star to be held tast evening, Will be held at the House of the Temple, 3d and E streets northwest, at 7 o'clock this evening. The solemn and beautiful funeral services will be read by Grand Minister of State O. S. Long of West Virginia, assisted by Dr. Thomas E. Hatch of this city, the representative from the northern supreme council. The service will be that preyared by Lieut. Commander Philip Crosby Tucker of Galveston, ‘Texas, the suc of the deceased grand commander ¥ next meeting of the supreme council, chapter of Knights Rose Crotx, 18th decree, but which ts capable of neing adapted to that of any other body of the Scottish Rite. Only Masons to Be Admitted. Owing to the limited accommodations of the house, the attendance will necessarily be Mmited to Sd degree members. The services will be as brief as possible and at their conclusion the body will be prepared for shipment to New Orleans, La, the home for many years of the deceased, where the interment will take place under the direction of the Grand Lodge of Lou! jana. The remains, as stated in yesterday: Star, will leave here tonight on the 11:10 train a ill be accompanied by Grand Secretary Webber of this city, Grand Min- ister of State Long, and by the sister of the departed grand commander, Mrs. Hut- chins. The ‘body will arrive at | New Orleans Tuesday morning, and the impres- sive Kadosh services will. it is thought, be held there at midnight of that day. Since yesterday the remains have lain in state at the House of the Temple, and hi been viewed by many friends and members of the Masonic order. eNSSES MER Burial Permits.

Schafhirt of 631 M street the popular athlete and member of the Co- lumbia Athletic Club, had his Jeft foot am- putated last week as the result of an acci- dent he suffered at the riding academy last March. Every effort was made to save the injured member, but it was useless and the operation was performed by Dr. J. Ford Thompson and Dr. Kerr. Now it will be a pleasure to his friends to know that the bandages have been removed and that it was found that the cut had healed even better than was hoped for. Dr. Schafhirt’s condition has so far improved that he will probably be sitting up in a few days and expects to leave the house in a fortnight. He will then leave the clty to recuperate and later will return to resume the practice of dentistry. _ Found in Bad Company. Waite H. Payne was the name of the first prisoner called in the Police Court this morning. The charge against him was disorderly conduct, and Policeman Coucher was the prosecuting witness. Payne was arrested near 2ist and K streets yesterday. He {s a cart driver by occupation, but yesterday he had holiday and the officer found him playing marbles. “the crowd was. disorderly,"” said the officer, “and I caught this boy. The boys had been warned to keep away from there @ number of times.” “I stopped in the crowd.” said the boy, wbut I ‘didn’t play, marbles. My mother sent me to market to get some bread and I stopped to witness the game.” “You will have to keep out of these Aie- orderly crowds,” sald the judge, “and if found there again you will be sént to the work house.” He was released this time. ———__ Execution in Arkansas.

(Continued from First Page.) was amicably arranged after the first fire. On August 6, 186, McMullen of Virginia and Granger ‘of New York fought in an omnibus while en route to the Capitol. They fought in and out of the omnibus and finished up the fight on the avenue. January 27, 1857, Preston Brooks of South Carolina made an assault on Charles Sum- ner, and out of that affair grew a great deal of bitterness, and the challenge be- tween Potter and Pryor. Potter, having the right of selecting weapons, chose bowie knives, and Pryor'’s friends declined to fight with such barbarous weapons. On the 29th of January, 1869, Albert Rust of Ar- kansas made an assault on Horace Greely in the Capitol grounds and was universally condemned. On the 29th of December, 18, @ fight took place in the House between Montgomery of Pennsylvania and Wm. H. English of Indiana which was a very lively scrimmage, and on the same day Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania had a row with Keitt of South Carolina, out of which grew a challenge from Grow to Branch of North Carolina. Keitt and Grow and quite a body of the friends of each gathered in the aisles in battle array, but timely inter- ference prevented about the same scene as was witnessed in the British house of par- Hament. In 1840 a duel growing out of a debate between Sam Inge of Alabama and Edward Stanley of North Carolina created great excitement. They were respective champions of the whi and democratic parties. After the third fire a settlement took place. About that time Pickens of South Carolina and Edward Stanley fought a duel. In the Senate there was a memo- rable scene when Henry 8. Foote of Missis- sippl drew a pistol on Col. Benton, ani while the officers and Senators interfe and disarmed Foote, Col. Benton advanced, baring his breast, and sald: “Let the as- sassin shoot.” I’ wrote of the challenge between Francis B. Cutting and John C. Breckinridge that was occasioned by words spoken in debate a few weeks ago. In 168 Dr. Gwin, then Senator from California, challenged Henry Wilson. The matte> was referred to Messrs. Crittenden, Seward and Jefferson Davis for settlement. Gov. Smith of Virginia, called “Extra Billy,” had a rough-and-tumble fight with “ Wal- lach, then editor of The Star, on the ave- nue.’ The old governor had the edito: down and was using him pretty badly when they were separated. “Dug” objected to the in- terference, and said he would have whipped if they had let him alone, as he always fought better underneath. Some funny scenes have taken place in the House. member from Ohio named Sawyer brought his lunch with him and dally spread that on his desk. It always consisted of sausage and crackers. Wm. E. Robinson, or “Riche- leu," was reporter for the Tribune in the House, and in his letters he ridiculed Saw- er, who brought the matter before the foulse in a question of privilege, and “Richelteu” was expelled from the gallery. He christened Sawyer, who was from that day known throughout the country as ‘Sausage Sawyer.” During the years of 39 and "60 there was produced great bitte>- ness in debate and during the period of re- construction. There were many pergonall- ties indulged in, and Sam Randall, before he was Speaker, had a row with some one, I forget who, and gave him a black eye. During Foote’s speech against Benton he was so severe and personal that Mr. Benton rushed toward him and Gen. e, the elder, caught him by the coat to re- strain him, but Benton rushed on and was nearly coatless when he reached Foote. who retreated slowly, drawing his pistol. Then ensued the scene. In the 30th Congress and the one succee1- ing Clay's defeat in 184 there was intense bitterness in the debates, and duels re- sulted or challenges to duels. Wm. Duer of New York, an eminent whig. in reply to a speech made by Richard K. Meade of Virginia called Meade a liar. Meade rushed on Duer, who ed his coming. Whigs and democrats surrounded the!> friends, and but for the interference of the sergeant-at-arms the scenes in parliament would have had a precedent. John F. Coyle. DEATH OF MR. A, H. EVANS.

Glen Echo Crowded With Friends and Well ‘Wishers,Who Are Admirably Entertained —A General Good Time Enjoyed by All. The Georgetown Cycle Club's first an- niversary celebration is now a thing of the past, but it will linger for a Jone time as a pleasant memory in the minds of every one of the 6,00 guests who thronged Glen Echo last night as the recipients of the club's hospitality. Georgetown was crowded last evening with an incoming and outgoing mass of humanity, and from 6 o'clock until nearly 8 the car lines and stage coaches were filled to their utmost capacity by persons having one destination, Glen Echo. Besides the regular transpor- tation lines many private vehicles were made use of, and many coaching parties went up. Wheels were also used, and near- ly 500 cyclists rode up on their silent steeds attired in club uniforms. The big amphi- theater, where the program was to be rendered, was tastefully decorated with club colors, large flags and bunting and lighted by twenty are electric lights. When Mr. E. B. Hay stepped upon the stage after $ o'clock he faced un audience of over 400 people, and the stream kept pouring steadily in until nearly %. After an overture by the orchestra, consisting of a portion of the Marine Band, Mr. Hay made the opening address for the G. C. C as only kd. Hay can, and told in @ Words the ‘object and past work of the club. He was followed by Mrs. Bogeley in a piano solo of merit, then came Mr. R. C. Ballinger in one of his inimitable dialect recitations, entitled “The Good of Faith,” giving as an encore “Sunday Fish- ing.” Mr. Joseph Murray followed with a baritone solo, which was warmly ap- plauded. Mr. J. Barton Miller as Cassius in the ‘quarrel scene from Julius Caesar rendered the lines of the testy Roman in an excellent manner, while Mr. J. Travis Cocker as Brutus was fully up to his good standard. Mr. T. O. Pulizzi then followed with a thetic recitation entitles “The Face Spon the Floor,” and immediately won his audience by his clear enunciation, every word being remarkably distinct.’ Little George Hunt gave a violin solo creditable for one so young, followed by Mr. R. T. Buhler, who made a great shit in “The Dian Phat Broke the Bank at Monte ‘The applause that greeted Mr. Ed C. Moore on his appearance testified to his popularity, and the audience was kept in | @ constant roar of laughter by Mr. Moore's rendition of his own parody on Hood's “Song of the Shirt.” Although cncores had been debarred Mr. Elphonzo Youngs, jr., scored such @uccess fa is cornet solo tat he was obliged to appear again. Mr. W. Harry W: m came on and astonished his audience by his feats on the bicycle, some of them very daring and all interesting. * Ever-popular John York AtLee scored a great success in his whistling solo, “The Chirp Chirp Polka.” ‘The selection was one fitted to display Mr. Atiees remarkable range of notes, and although the place was @ little large for a whistling solo the tones were so clear and distinct that it was only natural that the audience should insist on his appearing again. Mrs. Armand Gumprecht had never ap- before a Washington audience prior to last night, having only come lately from Boston, But her very pleasing and clear sweet soprano voice, with igh range, tivated the audience. “Be was the title of her se} tion, and her hearers fully appreciated significance of the words. Mr. Jos. Cathell Was last to appear in a bass solo and 19 last to appear in a bass selo and at 10:30 Many of the audience then sought the homeward road, but a great many more took the lantern lit path to Philosophy Hall, where hearts went out to the music of a dreamy waltz, while y ae the roof in the mellow light of the it moon those who had so kindly volunteered their ser- vices for the amusement and enjoyment of the numerous guests, were soon accompa- nied by the members of the club and their best girls, partaking of the refreshments furnished ‘by the club for their enjoyment. ‘That the entire affair was an unqualified success goes without saying. The Georgetown Cycle Club has been or- ganized for one year only, but during that time a more active interest has probably been shown in wheeling affairs by them than by any other organization in the Dis- trict. And to the many friends already made thousands more were added last even- ng. Fy 5 ———_—_ WESTEEN RANKS CLOgE. Ex-Treasurer Nebeker's Institution Goes to the Wall.
