They Mot and Enjoyed » Banquet Last Night They Proved They Could Talk Well Also in Many Pleasant Speeches— Guests Who Were Present. ‘The medical editors in attendance at the Pan-American medical congress dropped their shears and pencils last night and at- tended the banquet given by the Editors’ ‘Association at the Arlington. ‘The banquet was scheduled to take place at 8 o'clock, and by that hour nearly a hundred members had assembled in the large parlors adjoining the banquet hall. President Pepper held an informal recep- tion, and it was after 9 o'clock when the closed doors of the banquet hall were thrown open. The table was covered with flowers and palms. The Marine Band was seated in one corner of the hall, and during the dinner played popular airs. Dr. Pepper sat at the head of the table, with Secretary Morton on his right and Dr. Charles H. Hughes, president of the Medi- cal Editors’ Association, on his left. deen nero ene mann bad a President Pepper uced Dr. oR toe of St. Lonis as the toast master of the evening. The doctor made a felic- itous speech, and introduced Dr. C. H. Hughes, who delivered the president's greeting. Dr. Hughes said that the Arch- imedian fever that has lifted this first Pan- American medical congress of the western world to the mountain top of professional appreciation was the medical press of this country. Without its unfaltering courage and fidelity of our craft to this congress it would pave wank under the wake of the resent finani ringenc; d.smal failure. si is 5 The Toasts. President William Pepper responded to the toast “The Pan-American Medical Con- gress.” He bore testiinony to the power of the medical press, and sald he looked back with pleasure on the time when he was as- sociated with it as an editor. The medical press of this country, he believed, is largely Tesponsible for the success of the American Medical fraternity, just as Dr. Reed and the daily press were responsible for the success of the first Pan-American medical congress. There had come a time when the great questions concerning the public health could only be solved by an international conference of the extent and dignity of the present congress. While the influence of the medical press was great, it was not great enough to insure the success of a hollow cause. The Pan-American medical congress was not a hollow cause, and the medical press of the country had done yeo- man service in making it possible. ‘The conception of this grand idea belonged to Dr. Charles Reed, and he could not foretell a ae benefits that would result. He for congressional assistance to carry out any recommendations that might issue from this congress. He also hoped for suc- ceeding congresses, which were certain to Teceive acknowledgment in the highest quarters, Secretary Morton for the President. “The President of the United States” was the toast assigned to Secretary Morton. Mr. Morton said that for many years he had ad- mired the judicial genius of Judge Gresham, and of late years had had a double oppor- tunity of admiring his great diplomacy, but he felt when Judge Gresham had turned this toast over to him that he had been made a vicarious offer. The President of the United States elected, ceases to be a par- tisan and becomes a patriot, and it gave him pleasure, he said, to testify that the President had but recently come from the hands of the medical profession as strong physically as he is courageously. He had & soft place in his heart for the men who welcomed us gil into the world; with ten- der sympathy saw us out again. He re- membered the time when physiology and anatomy were kept out of the schools as being unfit for the minds of the young. A reformation had come about since then. He had lived to see the time when these studies were taught in the public schools. The agricultural people had a strong de- sire to understand the laws of heredity, and he hoped that text books of anatomy and physiology may be printed for the en- Ughtenment of the common people. The President of the United States is the med- feal director of the body politic. He is called upon in times of great financial strin- gency and other times when the success of his people are jeopardized to prescribe a remedy. He has but recently recommended @ change of practice in the financial body, and already the prescription has torn fruit: ful results. One medical body (the House of Representatives) has already adopted the prescription, and when the other body (the Senate) follows sult the pulses of renewed Prosperity will throb with power and vigor. Other Speeche: Dr. James F. Hibbard of Richmond, Ind., responded to the toast of the American Medical Association, and gave In a pleas- ing manner a history of that organization and its usefulness to the physicians of the country. Dr. E. EB. Liciaga, president of the Mexi- can supreme board of health, responded to ur foreign guests.” His speech was in Spanish, but after he had con- cluded Dr. W. F. Hutchinson gave an En- giish translation of it,in which Dr. Liciaga thanked the congress for the kind consid- eration shown the foreign guests and spoke of the great beneficial results that were sure to follow the considerations of a Pan- American medical congress. Mr. Frank Hatton, editor of the Wash- ington Post, responded to the toast of the “Press of the United States,” and Dr. Ho- bart Amory Hare responded to the “Med- ical press.”” ‘Surgeon General Sternberg was down on the program to respond to toasts in the medical department of the United States army,but he was called away and Dr. Wm. A. Hammond took his place. Senator John B. Henderson also acted as substitute for Surgeon General Tryon, who was to speak on the medical department of the Un'ted States navy. The Senator referred to his association ‘with the Pan-American con- gress and said he had no joubt but that the Pan-American medical congress would Prove equally as important. Ho believed there should also be a contiaental con- gress of lawyers and editors. Surgeon Gen- eral Wyman, who is to respond to “Our national heaith,” was called unexpectedly away, and ex-Surgeon Genral John B. Hamilton took his place. The iast reguiar toast of the evenig was that of the “City of Washington,” to which Dr. Sam’l 8. Adams, chairman of the committee of arrange- ments, responded. During the evening speeches were also made by Dr. Earnest Hart of England, Dr. Charles L. Reed, Dr. A. M. Owen and Dr. Remington of the Pharmaceutical Asso- elation. Major Stofer sang several popu- lar songs and Mr. Thomas Q. Seabrooke told several funny stories in his original way.

Commissioner Lochren Issues a Cir- cular Dealing With the Matter Rates, An order relative to pensions was issued by Pension Commissioner Lochren yester- day aftertioon saying: “The circular of June 12, 1893, in respect to rating cases un- der the act of June 27, 1890, is withdrawn. Hereafter in affixing rates under this act the medical referee or the medical officer in the board of revision shall weigh cach disability and determine the degree that each disability or the combined disabilities disable the claimant from earning a support by manual labor and a rate correspondiug to this degree shall be allowed. In cases in which the pensioner has reached the age of % his rate shall not be disturned if he ts receiving the maximum, and if he is not @ pensioner he shall receive the maximum for senility alone if there are no special pensionable disabilities shown.” As to the reason of this order Commis- sioner of Pensions Lochren said: “It is impossible to make schedule rat- Se in all cases. A soldier may have half @ dozen disabilities, no one of which might be pensionable,but taken all together would render him unable to perform manual labor and would therefore render him disabled in @ pensionable degree.” + e+ ______ DR. HOWARD HEARD FROM. He Brings About a Curious Turn in Jackson, Tenn. Rev. Dr. Howard, the Baptist preacher ‘who was arrested by the post office inspec- tors for fradulent use of the mails, who es- caped, for whose recapture a reward was advertised by the department, and who was rearrested, caused a sensational turn in af- fairs at Jackson, Tenn., Saturday by hav- ing Post Office Inspector Little arrested on the charge of unlawfully breaking into his office and selzing papers and documents. Little waived examination and gave bond to appear at the next term of the circuit court. Then Deputy United States Marshal Collier arrested Howard on another cl of fradulent use of the mails, and the rev- erend man was compelled to put up $2,500 bonds for his appearance. Reports from Jackson state that public sentiment is very much divided, and that startling de- velopments are expected. -—_______ CHURCH, FALLS Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Miss Edith Gelb, who has been seriously {ll with typhold fever for the past fortnight, is said to be greatly improving. Mr. J. H. Ralston has returned from Chi- cago, where he has been visiting the world’s fair. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis F. Holden have re- turned from a month's sojourn at Asbury Park and Worcester, Mass. eS STD ALONG THE WHARVES. Fears are entertained for the safety of three overdue schooners. These are the Booth, due two weeks ago, from Bruns- wick, Ga., with lumber to Johnson & Wim- satt, and for whom the health and harbor authorities are on the lookout, and the brig Mary Gibbs and the bark Boylston, both from the Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad, with asphalt for the Barber Company. The square riggers left the south on August 20, and are supposed to have been off Florida during the late blow, and the fact that they are a few days overdue gives rise to alarm. The yellow fever lookout Joe Blackburn was up this morning. She reports that everything 1s quiet. The suspect has not Into the bay. It ts thought probable that the watch will be discontinued within a day or two. If this is done Washington will rely on the efficiency of the officers at the capes. Commodore Bob Sutton reports that the men are wearled with thelr vigil. The wood trade is slow. Carter & Clarke are receiving daily eight or ten cargoes. Sales appear to be slack and the docks are piled high with goods. The first touch of winter is expected to wake things up. Engineer Davis of the Joe Blackburn, who had his left arm from the shoulder to the finger tips horribly scalded, 1s improving. It 18 not thought likely, though, that he will be able to return to duty for some time. The stone-laden three-master Maryland, trom the east, is up. ‘The Zane came into port this morning. Capt. Railly of the D. M. Key will take in the great fair. ‘The United States revenue steamer Craw- ford of this district is up. ‘The sloop Wave, which was sunk by the recent gale, was raised, and has arrived at Carter & Clarke's dock. ‘This was a heavy fish morning. Crocus, trout and sturgeon were plenty. Oysters are beginning to come up in fair quantities from nearby places. Just those that arrive by sail are small. Water- melons are holding their own better than was expected. Riley’s dock is lined with melon craft. ‘Yesterday was remarkable for the ship- ment of manure from this port to West Branch. The Centennial, Hopkins and the Donaldson cleared. Capt. Scott, the old and familiar master of the Wave, has returned to his farm in Vir- nia. Sir, G. W. Stone, jr., gave a sailing party last evening to a bevy of young ladies in the yacht Lilie. Capt. L. A. Clarke and family have re- slightly in favor of Vigilant, with Jubilee for second place. PUGILISTS GAVE UP. The Prise Fight at Roby Did Not Take Place. Seven hundred officers and men of the In- diana National Guard, fortified with swords, bayonets, rifles, a gatling gun and 27,000 pounds of ammunition, bivouacked at Roby, Ind., last night, outside the arena of the Columbian Athletic Club. Except for the militia the Roby sporting resort was as dull and fully as dark as a cemetery. Less than a hundred sports came out on the electric road half doubting and half hop- ing that there would be a fight or at least some fun with the soldiers. A few moments before the advertised time of departure of the Lake Shore special trains from Chicago last night for Roby the management of the Columbian Athletic Club announced that they would not run, and the contests between Jimmy Barry and Johnny Connors and George Lavigne and “Young” Griffo would not take place as scheduled. In view of the action taken by Gov. Mat- thews and the Indiana authorities it was deemed prudent by the club management to postpone exhibitions for three weeks, and thus avoid trouble of a serious nature. THE POTOMAC REGATTA, Great Interest in the Races to Be Rowed Next Saturday. As the day of the great Potomac river regatta draws nearer interest in the event is rapidly on the increase among boating men as well as among the people of the city generally. The regatta, as heretofore stated in The Star, will be rowed next Saturday afternoon. The men who are actively in- terested in the work of arranging the details for this great day have been hard at it for weeks past and so far as can be seen everything is in a state of readiness now. Entries for the different events close on Wednesday and already there have been more than enough crews entered to make the day @ flattering success. The three local elubs have their crews out on the water every evening and the rivalry among them is as pronounced as it has ever be- fore been on a similar occasion. All three have crews entered and in several of the races the strife will be particularly bitter. ‘This is true in the case of the race for the junior eights. All the clubs have entries in this and each is out for the blood. It will probably be the hardest fought race of all, and will be watched with more than a Uttle interest by the root- ers of the different clubs. The Regatta Committee. ‘The regatta committee, made up of dele- gates from each club, held a meeting last evening to clear up as many of the details as possible. Letters have been received from New York, Newark and Philadelphia from boating men, asking for information and to secure transportation and rooms here and it is evident that there will be a large influx of out-of-town people for the regatta. The course over which the races are to be rowed is being surveyed this week to insure its accuracy beyond all doubt, and Harbormaster Sutton will be appealed to by the committee to keep the course clear of boats on the afternoon of the race. The three handsome silver cups that go as prizes and the banners and medals are all to be placed on exhibition in some prom- inent window on the avenue this week. Es- pectal interest centers in The Evenig Star cup, which is the only championship trophy in the city and must be contested for each year on the Potomac. It is the cup for senior fours and will be rowed for by crews from the Analostans and Columbias. There Are to Be Seven Races. There are to be seven races. The first will be rowed at 2:30 o'clock and thereafter the races will be started promptly at each half hour. As the races are to be rowed over a course with a turn, except in the case of the eights, the races will be par- ticularly interesting to the lookers-on for the reason that both the start and finish can be seen from the same point. A com- mittee of members from the three local clubs has been appointed to secure sub- scriptions from business firms and others to defray at least a part of the expenses of the regatta, which are necessarily very considerable. It is to be hoped that they will be successful in their efforts, Among the out-of-town clubs that will participate in the regatta are the Neptunes and the Ariels of Baltimore. There is al- ways great rivalry between these two clubs and as the Ariels are going to bring over senior four and a gig the Neptunes will bring along a gig to get a chance at their old enemies. Taking it all in all there will be lots of sport on the Potomac next Sat- urday afternoon. ‘The Neptune gig crew as entered with the regatta committee consists of the follow- ing: E. F. Anderson, bow; W. Gallegher, number 2; W. F. Bull, number 3; J. F. Abell, stroke; H. Whitehead, coxswain, and Wm. Ives and Edward Adt, substitutes. BASE BALL, ait The W imate Lose im a Close Game With the Pittsburgs. The Washingtons played a close game with the Pittsburgs yesterday afternoon, but lost in the ninth, They had the team placed to the best advantage, McGuire on first and O'Rourke behind the bat. Up to the ninth inning only five hits had been made off Maul's pitching, but in the ninth a double and three singles were bunched, and the game was won by the Pirates. Colcolough pitched during the early part of the game, but was wild, and Killen was substituted. He held down his old com- rades. Sullivan's work at short was bad. Score: ee WASHINGTON.

That wonderful stallion Directum was entered to start against the world’s stallion record of 2071-2, held by Stamboul, the track record of 2.06 3-4 made on last Thursday by Nancy Hanks and the world’s record of 2.04 made by the same mare. The great stallion scored three times and then went against the record. He passed the wire like a whirlwind, and around the turn, up the back and into the third quar- ter he went. Scarcely slackening his pace he came down the stretch amid profound silence. He finished very tired. After Kelly had weighed in Mr. Fasig arose to announce the result: “Directum, he said, “first quarter, 301-4; half, 1.00 1- three-quarters, 1.321-4, and the mile, gen- tlemen, in 2.01. He broke all stallion records. Averages for the Season. The following are the club averages for the season: a Baltimore. ‘The League Batting Averages.

The curtain raiser in the Police Court this morning was a one-act skit, entitled “Cussing,” in which John Frazier, Lillie Fields and Janie Miller, colored, appeared. The scene was a picnic ground and the time last evening. The action was rapid and so well did the dusky three perform their respective roles that a verdict in the form of a fine of $5 each was unhesitatingly rendered, and the three desire their mail to be addressed care of Intendant Stouten- burgh for the next fifteen days. ‘The performance showed a long list of attractions, one of which was William Nalley, sometimes called a pugilist, who was charged with profanity and with fail- ing to pay hack hire. Charles H. Thomp- son, a colored hack driver, testified that on the night of the 28th of last month Nalley indulged in an all-night ride in his vehicle, and that when he asked for his fare Nalley not only refused to pay, but also cursed him. Nalley claimed that a friend of his paid all that was due. Judge Kimball de- cided that the hackman should be paid $1.25 and took Nalley’s personal bonds in the Profanity case. —— ae AT THE RIVER FRONT. Arrived.

SERDAR DE Ltt | PAYING PENALTIES For Not Getting Out Vessels Accords img to the Contracts. the new navy makes an interesting exhibit of penalties exacted from ship builders for non-compliance with the terms of (heir contracts. The delinquency was principally in the matter of time of completion. If ap- pears that several contractors on the At- lantic and Pacific coasts have had to for- felt to the government in all about $20,000 on account of failures to comply with cer- tain terms of their contracts.
