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. After an exceptionally fine menu had been Gisposed of President Pepper introduced Dr. LN, Love 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 sunk ner, the wake of the Present financial stringency and proven a d.smal failure. The Toasts. President William Pepper responded to the toast “The Pan-American Medical Con- gress.” He bore testimony to the power of the medical press, and said 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 responsible 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 the it benefits that would result. He hoped 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 gll 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 studles were taught in the public schools Tl agricultu people 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- lightenment of the common people. The President of the United States is the med- {eal 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 born fruit- ful results. One medical body (the House of Representatives) has already adopted the rescription, and when the other body (the te) follows suit 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 !n a pleas- ing manner a history of that organization and its usefulness to the physicians of the country. Dr. E. E. Liciaga, president of the Mexi- can supreme board of health, responded to the toast “Our foreign guests.” His speech was in Spanish, but after he had con- cluded Dr. W. F. Hutchinson gave an En- gitsh 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 substitut: 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 continental 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 General John B. Hamilton took his place. The iast regular 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- ciation. Major Stofer sang several popu- lar songs and Mr. Thomas Q. Seabrooke told several funny stories in his original way.

An order relative to pensions was issued by Pension Commissioner Lochrea yester- day aftertioon saying: “The circular of June 12, 1893, in respect to rating cases un- der the act of June 27, 1990, 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 su; by manual labor and a rate corresponding 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- ings in all cases. A soldier may have half a dozen disabilities, no one of which might be penstonable,but taken all together would render him unable to perform manual labor and would therefore render him disabled in a pensionable degree.” 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 seizing papers and documents. Little waived examination and gave bond to appear at the next term of the circult court. Then Deputy United States Marshal Collier arrested Howard on another charge 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 1s very much divided, and that startling de- velopments are expected. FALLS CHURCH. Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Yates’ Knowledge. ‘The stir caused recently in army circles and in Canada over the exhibition in an Ottawa store window of a U. 8. army re- cruiting placard inviting recruits to join the cavalry and infantry proves to be a tempest in a teapot. The name of Second Lieut. Archer W. Yates, ninth infantry, a former officer of the District National Guard, recruiting officer at Ogdensburg, N. ¥., near the Canadian line, was signed to the poster and the adjutant general of the army called on Col. Bartlett, commanding officer of Lieut. Yates’ regiment, for in- Vestigation and report. Col. Bartlett's re- port, made through First Lieut. Brewste: the predecessor of Lieut. Yates at Ogden: burg, was received by Adjutant ‘General Williams today, and in it Lieut. Brewster says that the display of the placard was unauthorized by Lieut. Yates and himself, and furthermore no person connected with the recruiting rendezvous at Jgdensburg was responsible for the insult to Canadian dignity. The poster, says Lieut. Brewster, was obtained without authority by persons unknown and the belief is expressed that it was taken surreptitiously from one of the public places in Ogdensburg and dis- played in Ottawa. ——___..___.

Navahoe and Britannia to Compete on Wed- nesday, Cup Defenders’ Trial on Friday—What is Going on in Base Ball—Gen- eral Sporting News. The next ten days will be interesting ones in yachting circles. First is the Nava- hoe and Britannia match for the Victoria gold cup, which commences tomorrow at Ryde. From all parts of the British Isles people are flocking to Southsea, Ryde and other coigns of vantage from which a good view of the race can be seen. The hotels are full, so are the lodging houses, and many have to put up with mattresses on the floor. Even the bathing machines on the beach have been utilized as sleeping apartments. The Navahoe’s people seem very confident that her alterations will put her on an equality with the Prince of Wale’s cutter. The only thing done to the Britan- nia seems to have been the replacing of the hollow main boom by a solid one. This may be an improvement in very strong winds. Still there is the extra weight to carry, which may alter the trim of the boat for the worse. Next in order will be the cup defend- ers’ trials, which commence on the 7th in- stant in this country. It is thought a bare possibility that Pilgrim will be an absentee. Her owners, however, say they intend to have her ready in ‘time. The odds are slightly in favor of Vigilant, with Jubilee for second place. PUGILISTS GAVE UP. The Prize Fight at Roby Did Not Take Place. ‘ Seven hundred officers and men of the In- diana Nationa! 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 o| 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 im 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 avranging the details for this great day have been hard at it for weeks past and so far as can be een 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 a 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 Faces the strife will be particularly bitter. This is especially true in the case of the race for the junior eights. All the clubs have entries in this and each is out for ‘This club proposes to meet at the residence of @ member every Tuesday evening. It will meet this evening at the residence of Mrs. R. G. Whiting. Capt. Jack Hayes, a well-known farmer and politician of Kent district, while en- rs in pruning trees on his farm near Benning last Saturday, severely cut his ht arm. Dr. G. A. Richardson of this village rendered medical assistance. Tt appears that some of the republicans of this district are not at all satisfied with the recent action of the Harrison and Reld only forty-five persons were present at the Republican Club (colored) in indorsing ex- Internal Revenue Collector F. Snowden Hill for the state senate. They claim that meeting, and intimate that another meet- ing of the republicans will be shortly held, at which the sentiments of their party wili be expressed and the former action of the club revoked. While James Butler and Thomas Howard, colored, of Bladensburg, were enjoying a boat ride on the Anacostia near “Cart- wheel,” Sunday evening, the former, who was standing up in the boat, fell into the water, which is very deep at that place, and came near drowning, but was rescued by his companion. ‘Mr. Jos. O'Neill and family have gone to Chicago to attend the world’s fair. The public schools of this county opened yesterday. The Hyattsville Base Ball Club visited Leonardtown last Saturday and played a match game with the team of that place. ‘The game was called at the end of the fifth inning on account of the rain, and the score stood 12 to 6 in favor of the Leonardtown club. Miss Edith Geib, who has been seriously ill with typhoid 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. a 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 passed into the bay. It is 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 their vigil. The wood trade is slow. Carter & Clarice 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 is not thought likely, though, that he will be able to return to duty for some time. The stonerladen three-master Maryland, from the eatt, is up. ‘The Zane came into port this morning. Capt. Railiy 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_now 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., gaye a sailing party last evening to a bevy of young ladies in the yacht Lillie. Capt. L.

She will load coal for the east. Mr. Harry Carter will leave this evening for a gunning trip down stream. the blood. It will probably be the hardest fought race of all, and will be watched with more than a little 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 recetved 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- peclal interest centers in The Evenig Star cup, which 1s 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 ts to be hoped that they will be successful in thelr 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 nd as the Ariels are going to bring over a 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 Tegatta 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. ‘ The Washingtons Lose tm a Close Game With the Pit res. 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. Coleolough 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.

That wonderful stallion Directum was entered to start against the world's stallion record of 2.071-2, 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 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: “irectum,’ he said, “first quarter, 301-4; ha f, 1.00 1-4; three-quarters, 1.321-4, and the mile, gen- tlemen, in 2.07." He broke all stallion records. Averages for the Senson. ‘The followiug are the club averages for the ‘The League Batting Averages.

PAYING PENALTIES For Not Getting Out Vessels Accords ing to the Contracts. ‘The statement prepared at the Navy De- partment in regard to the construction of the new navy makes an interesting exhibit of penalties exacted from ehip builders for non-compliance with the terms of their contracts. The delinquency was prineipally in the matter of time of completion. It ap- pears that several contractors on the At- lantic and Pacific coasts have had t for- felt to the government in all about $200,000 on account of failures to comply with cer- tain terms of their contracts. The penal- ties were generally for delays in the de- livery of vessels to the government. In several the contractors had to forfeit part of 4 contract price of a ship, owing toa caters 29 meet the requirements re- lating to The Union iron works of San Francisco Teceived $33,384 less than the contract price for the Charleston, und $5,700 less than the lated cost of the San Francisco. The Columbia iron works of Baltimore lost %6,~ 450 on the Petrel. In both cases the penal- ties were exacted for a failure to complete the ships within the time agreed upon. The Petrel’s contractors also lost $50 on speed requirements. Owing to delays in the de- livery of the Vesuvius, the Cramps forfeit- €4 $29,700, or about one-ninth of the con- tract ‘price of the vessel. For the same reason the Cramps also lost $19,000 om the Philadelphia, $7,6% on the Baltimore, 7,67 on the Yorktown, and $6,060 on the Newark. N. F. Palmer & Co., the contractors of the gunboats Concord and Pennington, built at © cost of $10,000 each, refunded to the gov- ernment for time penalties $8,600. The Bath iron works lost over twelve months’ pen- alties on the Machias, and they are now paying for delays in ‘the delivery of the Castine and Katahdin. The Iowa tron works are under penalties at the rate of $100 a day, for failure to jete the tor- pedo boat’ Ericsson within the prescribed time limit. The Monterey cost its butld- ers, the Union iron works, $22,823, owing to the inability of the engines to sustain the required indicated horse power. In an ar- ticle on this subject, the Army and Navy says: “In cases where the de- partment believes a claim for a remission of penalties is just, a recommendation im behalf of the contractors is made to Con- gress. There is a stror., feeling in and out of Congress for the failing contractors, es- was in the nature of an experiment. They have, as a rule, done good work, and failures have not come by reason of he- giect. Congress ought to consider this fact fa dean ing with them, and it doubUess Medical Corps.

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 $ 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 fa’ ing to pay hack hire. Charles H. Thomp- son, a colored hack driver, testified th: the night of the 28th of last month N oy 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. —_—-— AT THE RIVER FRONT. Arrived.
