Happenings Among the Law Stud —Debates and Moot Trials. The debating society at Columbian will tonight discuss the question, ‘Resolved, That discrimination in our immigration laws is a violation of the laws of nations.” The affirmative will be supported by M. E. Sabin and Paul T. Gadsden, and the nega- tive by J. W. Byler and Jno. O'Connell. Case 5 in the moot court at Georgstown was heard Thursday evening, Messrs. Fox and Brennan appearing for the plaintiffs and Messrs. Lambért and Leckie for the defendants, ‘The counsel for the defendants demurred to the entire bill of the paces Mr, & J. Lambert's argument in support of the demurrer was well rendered and received applause at several points. Quite a large audience was present. ‘ase 4 was heard a week previous, Messrs. W. S. and E. S. Duvall representing the plaintiff and Messrs. W. D. Slaughter and F. H. Norcross the defendants. The court of appeals at Georgetown was organized last Monday night with all the ceremonies incident to that event. About 100 students were admitted to prac- tice before the court and more will come in later. The debating society at Georgetown had an interesting discussion last evening upon the question, “Resolved, That capital pun- ishment should be abolished.” The affirmative was upheld by Messrs. Walter Coleman and C. D. Rooney and the negative by Messrs. E. H. Block, J. E. Baker and W. V. Sheehy. The Blackstone Club at Howard Untver- sity will be organized this evening. The students at Georgetown find tn the following some incentive toward good werk beyond that which they would ordinarily possess. The university offers to the stu- dents these cash prizes: Forty dollars to the member of the jun- jor class maintaining the best average in recitations and examinations during the year. Forty dollars to the author of the best essay upon any legal subject among the members of the senior class. One hundred dollars to the member of the senior class maintaining the best average in recitations and examinations during the ar. Fifty dollars to the member of the senior class maintaining the secoad best average in recitations and examinatiuns during the year. Fifty dollars to the member of the post- graduate class maintaining the Jest average in recitations and examinations auring the year. Twenty-five dollars to the author of the best essay upon any legal subject. amorg the members of the post-graduate class. At the National Law School three gold medals are awarded at the close of each term: ‘The faculty medal for the most satisfac- tory junior examination. The MacArthur medal for the most satis- factory senior examination. The university medal for the most satis- factory post-graduate examination. The following new students have been enrolled at Columbian: Post-graduates — Chas. E. Howe, H. 8. Reeside, F. F. Sams, Wm. E. Harvey, Fred. c. O'Connell, Geo. F. Daggett.

Crede, Col., is now the bona fide county seat of Mineral county, and its records are all in the vaults of the First Na- tional Bank. They were brought here some time during Wednesday night from Wason, four miles below, and Maj. Wagon is wild with rage. When the county was created by the last legislature a strong in- fluence succeeded in ‘.aving the bill desig- nate Wason as the county seat. This has been most unsatisfactory and the ciection last Thursday resulted in Crede being made the seat by a large majority. = — Written for The Evening Star. November.

The Prospects for an Early Building Season Favorable. ees THE NEW CITY POST OFFICE BUILDING. A Recent Instance of the Use of Stucco on Exterior Walls, SOME IMPROVEMENTS. If the coming winter proves to be what is known as an “open winter” then it is pre- dicted that the prospect for an early revival of the building trades is a favorable one. In other words, it is thought highly prob- able that if the weather is at all suitable for building operations the opening of the usual spring season in the building line will occur some time during the winter. In this climate such an experience is not unusual, as there have been years when outside work has been possible practically all through the winter. An early start in building opera- tions, if one is made, will be especially ac- ceptable to all classes engaged in the build- ing trades, for the reason that there is com- paratively no incomplete work to tide the men over until the spring. There was but little done during the height of the season, and so in consequence there are few “jobs of work” to be finished up during the cold weather. The plasterers, the inside finish- ers and the other workmen engaged in the other trades that can be carried on inside a building find that this season, which is usually a busy time with them, offers but few opportunities for work. The material men in common with the mechanics feel the dullness in the building business, so that the situation at present is that both labor and material is seeking a market, and it is natural to suppose that inducements can be held out to investors. It would seem that circumstances have made this time especially favorable for in- vestments in buildings. Each week relieves the financial strain which has acted as a check on business, and as money becomes more plentiful and loans easier then capital wilt seek investment, and the promising Prospects of remunerative investments in real estate will no doubt receive a fair share of the attention of capitalists. The New City Post Office. It is said that work on the building for the new city post office, which has been resum- ed after a suspension of some three months, will be carried on during the winter as the weather permits. The delay, in part at least, is said to have been occasioned by a change of the plans, which mainly provide for a tasement beneath the building instead of a cellar, as it is stated, was proposed in the plan as originally prepared. It is un- derstood that this change has been made, and if that is the case it will undoubtedly be possible to make further changes and al terations. There has been no public build- ing erected in this city in recent years the location of which is as conspicuous and commanding as that of the proposed buila= ing. In view of this fact it is thought that it would be wise to have the design and plans, which were prepared, thoroughly ex- amined with the purpose of making such modifications, if such are found to be neces- sary, as will make certain that the new structure will be an ornament not only to the locality, but to the city. It should be borne in mind that this city has a certain reputation for artistic as well as natural beauty, and it will never do to have the visitor of the future, whose taste has been st by the scenes of architectural beauty that delighted the eye at the world’s fair, to look upon the new post office bulld- ing with a rising feelng of discontent that it 1s below the ideal of what such an im- portant building should represent. Utility and Beauty. It ts of course all very well to sneer at artistic beauty in buildings of this char- acter, but at the same time {t should be borne in mind that the American people, or at least a good proportion of them, learned at Chicago this summer that utility and beauty could go together, and that it was possible to have architectural merit in a building intended for purely business pur- poses. It might be well without pronounc- ing upon the question as to whether the present design of the post office building is worthy of the location to examine the de- sign now, before the work is so far ad- vanced that changes cannot be made except at great expense. The only expense that would be involved in making over the present design or getting out an entire new one is the cost of the work of the draughts- man, and the brain work of the designer, |, as those persons draw their stipends regularly from Uncle Sam, the expenditure ‘would not be a direct one. ‘Objection has been made to the proposed height of the building as unsuited for the use of the post office. The extra six or seven stories which are to be piled up are intended to furnish accommodations for other branches of the service belonging to the general government, the purpose evidently being to get as much as possible for the money. This city is certainly large enough and important enough, it is main- tained, to have a building solely for pest office purposes as other cities less import- ant have. If more room is needed by the gereral government for its clerical force additional buildirgs should be erected in- stead of spoiling one building in the vain attempt to make it do the service of sev- eral. Variety in Building Material. ‘The treatment of brick walls is illustrated in a variety of ways. The monotony of the smooth surface which is presented in wall laid up in press brick is relieved in some cases by stone trimming. The red select brick, mainly because its rougher finish is supposed to give more character to a wall, is used very generally, and fur- ther variety is introduced by the employ- ment of molded brick of all shapes and de- signs. Mortar of different shades is util- ized to enhance the color treatment and also stone in combination with the brick. Gal- vanized iron work, with its wide range of designs, is also largely employed to attain that variety and uniqueness which seems to be so largely the aim of modern archi- tecture. The material for building, which the architect finds at hand, while limited, especially in a city, to brick and stone, is capable of numerous combinations, as an examination of the buildings in this city would demonstrate. Stucco Brick Walls. Now, as it happens, it is the fashion to bathe the exterior of your house in yellow, and so the exterior walls are painted that shade, or are constructed of yellow bricks. Another effective treatment of plain brick walls may be seen in the house of the Cos- mos Club, which is being enlarged and im- proved. The walls have been given a stucco finish. The mortar which is spread or thro-vn upon the walls is not made to look like cut stone, as a great deal of what is Known as stucco work does, but is a sub- stantial and undeniable covering for the bare brick walls which proves to be very effective. There is an impression that this kind of work is liable to be disappointing, because it is so apt to drop off in places, giving the walls a mangy appearance,which is not calculated to make the owner good natured. But Messrs. Hornblower and Marshal, the architects in whose charge the club placed the improvements, say that if the plaster does peal off it will be be- cause it was not put on right in the first place. In this instance a rather heavy coat of mortar was placed on the walls and then pebbles of good size were thrown against the soft bed formed by the mortar, and settling, became imbedded in the plastic material. This gives the uneven appear- ance to the surface which is thought to be the chief merit of this method of treat- ment. After the pebbles are well set the entire surface is dusted over with pow- dered cement, which serves to harden the exterior. A somewhat similar treatment has been given to the walls of St. John’s Church, and as that has stood the weather for a good many years, it is evident that stucco is not a mere theory. There is no doubt that it does fall off, and people who have occasion to go past the large house front- ing on Dupont Circle, which has been, until recently, for a number of years the home of the Chinese legation, have noticed that stucco, or at least that particular stucco, does not stick. Increase in Building. The building record for the week just closed shows a slight improvement over last week. A total of eight permits were issued at an estimated cost of $12,875. A. M. Green is building a neat two-story frame dwelling on Frankfort street, Ana- costia. W. A. Hardesty is the erchitect. Herman T. Holm has commenced the erection of a two-story frame dwelling on Milwaukee street, Brookland.

Republicans Gain as Delayed Returns Come in. The vote in Massachusetts on Tuesday showed a large falling off on the demo- cratic side compared with last year’s vote. In 1892 Wiliiam E. Russell was elected gov- ernor by @ plurality of 2,534. All of the re- mainder of the democratic ticket was de- feated. The vote for governor in 1892 was: Haile, 183,83; William E, Russell, 186,377. The vote on Tuesday was: Greenhalge, 192,442; John E. Russell, 156,799; Greenhalge's plurality, 35,643. Greenhalge gained 8,599 votes over Mr. Haile, while John E. Russell fell 25,578 below Gov. Russell. The size of the vote as compared with 1891, 189 and 1889 is interesting. It was nothing short of phenomenal for an “off” year. The largest gains are to be found in the manufacturing towns and mill centers, in places like Lawrence, Fall River, Ipswich and East Hampton. In Worcester there is @ phenomenal republican gain of 2,200. Last year Mr. Haile's plurality there was some- thing over 500. This Zoar the heart of the commonw: ves Mr. Greenhalge 2,800 over John £ Russell. oe The farmers failed to show their regard for their townsman and agricultural asso- clate, for, enough, Mr. Russell fell 89 votes behind the governor's vote of last year in his own town of Leicester. Boston’s plurality of 14,588 for Gov. Russell was reduced to 9,76. It was when these became known that the democrats conceded Mr. 's victory, The re- turns from Lowell give 574 plu- a W. E. Russell carried the city by The bill for rapid transit in Boston was defeated by 3,129 votes. The transit scheme provided for the construction of a new thoroughfare through the heart of business Boston from the northern railway Stations to Roxbury, at an estimated ex- Pense of about $20,000,000 to the city. Unprecedented tn Pennsylvania. Official returns from every county in Pennsylvania except three (Armstrong, Bucks and Monroe), and careful estimates added for those three, show a plurality of 138,084 for Jackson, republican, for state treasurer. The Allegheny county plurality for Jackson, as shown by the official count, is 27,164, which is about 7,000 greater than has been claimed for him in that county since the election. This plurality is the largest ever given any candidate in Pennsylvania, the heav- jest previous plurality having been 137,728, given Grant over Greeley in 1872. The vote was lighter than for several years. The total official figures on the vote for state treasurer, with Armstrong, Bucks, Jefferson oo Hed es ee. rep. 3 urn, dem., 287,913; The total will be 757, igi The total vote in 1891 (the last off year) Was 79,29, and in last year's presidential election 1,003,010 votes were cast. Palmer About 30,000. Later returns continue to show republi- can gains in New York state. Palmer, for secretary of state, has about 30,00 plurality, and his associates on the ticket for execu- tive offices receive about the same. Maynard runs behind the other demo- cratic candidates about 33,000 in New York county, 17,000 in Kings, 5,000 in Queens, 2,000 in Erie, 1,700 in Westchester, 1,500 in Rens- selaer, 1,000 in Rockland, and nearly or quite 15,000 more in the rest of the state, Sop sea he ghey _ votes worse o1 yer. The plur: agains! therefore, probably exceeds ‘aon, —— Both houses of the legislature are safe beyond a doubt. The majority in the sen- ate is at least 6, and in the assembly by 22. The republicans have a good majority of the delegates to the constitutional con- vention, Rep cans Win in Nebraska. Sufficient returns have been received to make certain the election of Harrison for judge of the supreme court in Nebraska and the entire republican state ticket. Chairman Slaughter of the republican cen- tral committee claims the election of Har- rison by not less than 6,000 plurality, and official figures from half the counties, with close estimates on the balance, verify this. Rejoicing in New Jersey, The anti-race track people last night cel- ebrated their victory in Trenton and other cities of New Jersey. Of the eight sen- ators elected seven are republican, and the state senate will stand, 11 republicans, 10 democrats. Of the 60 members of the house of assembly elected, 36 are republicans, 23 democrats and 1 independent democrat. In several cases the pluralities are so small that a few defective baliots thrown out by the official canvassers may change the re- sult in the assembly. Congratulating Gov. McKinley. The telegraph wires into Columbus, Ohio, have been kept busy the last two days transmitting to Gov. McKinley the tele- grams of congratulations sent him from all parts of the country, and even across the water, And the governor had his hands full receiving them. There were 2,000 of these joyful messages. There was no pre- tense of answering them immediately. That was a physical impossibility, but an effort will be made to recognize them all separately in time. Most of them are ad- dressed to the governor directly or indi- rectly as the next President. Among the telegrams was one from ex-President Har- rison, who said: “I cannot refrain from expressing my heartiest congratulations to you and to the people of Ohio over the magnificent result achieved yesterday. I feel sure, as I told you when you were here on Decoration day, that you would have a phenomenal ma- jority this year.” Natoral Gas in Colorado. The Western Colorado Development Com- pany, in sinking a well east of Grand Junc- tion, Col., Wednesday, struck a strong flow of gas at a depth of 360 feet. A pressure of sixty pounds is obtained. TT ————— THEN ATIONAL GUARD Perhaps There May be a Big Field Day This Month. IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED, A Practice March for Infantry Also Being Discussed. OTHER INTERESTING MATTERS ‘The past month has been one of the quiet est and least eventful ever experienced by the District National Guard. When the an- nual rifle competitions came to an end there Was nothing of special moment to keep the interest alive, but row there is preparation for a winter of hard work and a consequent increase of topics for discussion. out the brigade there is more or less or unadvisable, he will probably the competitive practice march, thought so favorably of early be ordered to take place.

With the mustering into the service of a company which has been designated com- pany C—an event that occurred on the 34 instant—the fourth battalion is once more complete. Maj. Campbell is very much pleased with the latest addition to his com- mand. The recruits are of the compara- tively staid variety that gives but little trouble, the average age being twenty-eight years. Commissions are daily expected for | its officers, who are Capt. L. E. Buck, First Lieut. C. J. Goode and Second Lieut. BE. L, Brice. Getting Ready for Gallery Practice. On Monday evening last there was meeting of inspectors of rifie practice brigade headquarters to discuss j g cember frora 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and that each evening of the week commencing December 11 should be set apart for competitive work within a designated battalion. The inspect- ors will endeavor to have a team of ten from each company in the gallery on the evening set apart for their respective bat- | talions. This procedure, with the prelimi- nary practice that will precede and the vol- untary practice that is to follow, will, it is expected, put most of the men in good shape to commence the official scores in january. athe gallery is in better condition now than ever before. The volley target is fixed in rear of the central individual which may be easily lowered to the floor when the volley target is needed. Adjusta- ble metallic bullseyes have supplanted the painted marks that were often so confus- ing, and there is more light, both at the firing point and at the targets. Notes. The victory of the District team of eight over the New Jersey sharpshooters was not surprising, although Gen. Spencer has | some remarkably fine material within his reach. A few kickers here grumbled be- cause the majority was only ten points, but the competitors themselves seem to be satisfied with the scores. The match closed a season that had in it not @ single defeat for the brigade. First Sergt. Charlton M. Clark, A, third battalion, nominated by Maj. F. T. Wilson as inspector of rifle practice, third battalion, was before the board of officers on Monday evening for examination. Maj. Geo. H. Harries, inspector general of rifle practice, and Capt. James E. Bell, in- spector of rifle practice, second regiment, were the inquisitors. The report has not yet reached brigade headquarters. Company D, first battalion (Washington Light Infantry Corps),gives an informal re- ception at the battalion armory next Wed- nestay evening. Company A, second battalion (Corcoran Cadet Corps), will give its twenty-third complimen.ary hop at National Rifles’ Hall on the evening of the 30th instant.
