The annual meeting of the Eastern Base Ball League was held Wednesday at Troy, N. ¥., and a large number of base bail representatives, including James Frank- lin and J. C. Chapman of Buffalo, President Bogart and Secretary Long of Wilkesbarre, President John Depinet and C. H. Morton of Erle, E. A. Johnson, William H. Draper and Oscar Stalz of Providence, and Thomas E. Burns and George Rathbun of Spring- field, are in town to attend the meeting. George Kuntsch and Jay Faatz of Syra- cuse were present to press the claims of Syracuse for membership in the league. President Powers stated that applications for membership in the league had been re- ceived from Toronto and Syracuse. He was unable to state what would be the number of clubs in the league. It is probable that Scranton will be given a place in the league, although what action will be taken depends upon Erie and Wilkesbarre. President Powers of the Eastern League said that last week he was offered the man- agement of the St. Louis National League Club, but that the offer was declined. ———-+eo____ Military Cadetships.

Address by the American League to the People of the United States. JUSTIFICATION FOR REVOLUTION. A Fair and Impartial Investigation Asked. ANNEXATION 1S DESIRED. PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 15.—A. Feek, a Seattle contractor, arrived at nis home last night fzom Honolulu. Mr. Feek was made the bearer of an address to the people of the United States from the American League of Honolulu. The address is dated December 4, and says: “To the people of the United States. “We, like you, believe in good govern- ment, and having in co-operation with oth- ers, freed ourselves from the reign of cor- rupt rule and established a government of the best classes of society, we protest most emphatically against the reported assump- tion of President Cleveland that the pro- visional government of the Hawallan Is- lands should cease to exist, because our Proposition for union with the United States of America had failed to meet his approval. We insist that the present government of Hawaii has the same right to exist that the United States had after their successful revolution in 1776. “In fact, the corruption and misgovern- ment that brought about the revolution of January last were so flagrant as to be unbearable, and the late queen had planned to not only continue her corrupt rule, but to set aside the constitution of the king- dom, and had attempted to Mlegally pro- mulgate a new one, disfranchising many of the most intelligent citizens, and, vy her high-handed outrages, had destroyed the last hope of improvement >ver the corrupt and illegal oppression by the executive power, so that no alternative was left but to depose her and establish an honest and capable government. This has been suc- cessfully done, not by citizens of *he United States, but the movement was carried to a successful issue by people born and raised on the islands and others who had lived for many years here and were citizens of the country and loyal to its best interests and only organized for the overthrow of the old system after all hope of redress for many wrongs done by the late queen and her partisans had ceased to exist. “We are ready to acknowledge that we, loving lberty and good government honestly administered, should have approved of the deposition of the late queen and *he organ- ization of the provisional government, and we do now give to the same provisional government our earnest and hearty sup- port. “In conclusion the people of Honolulu de- mand that the people of the United States will withhold their judgment until a fair and impartial investigation has been given the entire matter, an investigation which they earnestly court. “It, after this, the American people do not desire to annex the islands, there is but one thing remaining to fill sut the measure of the hope of Hawali, and that ts to be left entirely alone.” an GOV. ALTGELD INDORSED. His Pardon of Fielden, Schwab and Neebe Praised by Labor Delegates. The resolution indorsing Gov. Altgeld’s action in pardoning Fielden, Schwab and Neebe, the anarchists, was unanimously concurred in by the American Federation of Labor at Chicago Wednesday afternoon. The resolution was as follows: “Whereas the pardoning of the so-called Chicago anarchists by Gov. Altgeld of the state of Illinols is but a simple act of justice, and “Whereas the conviction and incarcera- tion of Fielden, Schwab and Neebe was the result of class prejudice and persecu- tion at a time when the public mind was influenced with passion, and “Whereas the governor of Illinois, in the face of a set resolve of the capitalistic class to the contrary, had the courage to defy power and opposition in defense of inno- cence and justice, thus proving his honesty and sincerity of heart; therefore be it “Resolved, That we indorse the govern- or’s action and accept the reason he as- signs as in line with the true facts of the case.” Its passage was greeted with cheers, both from the delegates and from the crowd that thronged the gallery. An Exciting Runaway. The wife and son of Senator Hale of Maine were the unwilling participants in quite an exciting runaway accident last evening, but, fortunately, no one was in- jured. About 10:20, while being driven with her son to the railroad station, the horse slipped on the cable tracks at 7th street and the avenue and fell, breaking off one of the shafts short. Upon regaining his feet this broken shaft prodded th animal in such a manner that he started off on a run down the avenue. The coachman endeavored to stop the frightened beast by running him into a tree in front of the St. James Hotel, but did not quite succeed, the horse con- tinuing down the avenue. The coachman pluckily held on to the reins and remember- ing the hill on 41-2 street turned the horse into that street. When the top of the hill was reached on Louisiana avenue the coachman succeeded in throwing the ani- mal. Before the horse could regain his feet the man had jumped from his seat and opened the door of the carriage, releasing Mrs. Hale and her son from their perilous situation. Mrs. Hale was on her way to take the New York train, but was forced to remain over until this morning, when she left the city. ——_— A New Investment Company. Oliver B. Lee, George E. Cromwell, Clar- ence A. Storke and Lewis W. Johnson filed articles of incorporation yesterday for a building and loan association to be known as the Commercial Building, Loan and In- vestment Association of Washington. The capital stock is $1,000, divided into shares of $1 each. —— Yesterday’s Winning Horses. The winners of the East St. Louls races yesterday were Velox, My Partner, Envy, Mollie B. and Harry R.

Friendly Regard is never en- tertained by the children for a medi- cine that tastes bad.

Brown of Saxonville, Mass., well known as a sugar tariff expert, has for- mulated a plan, which has been suggested to the Ways and means committee, where- by sugar may be made a source of revenue without levying a duty. Mr. Brown sug- gests that all imported sugars intended for refining purposes shall be entered in bond and refined in bond under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and when such imported sugars have been. refined, the refined out-turn or product, when entered out of bond for home con- sumption, shall pay to the government an internal revenue tax of one cent per pound on all such refined sugar above 18 D. S. in color, and three-fourths of one cent per pound on all such refined sugar not above 18 D. 8. in color. Mr. Brown’s plan exempts exports of re- fined sugar, the product of imported sugar refined in bond, and regulates all allowance for loss in Soe It levies a duty on all sugars imported for consumption without refining, whether refined or unrefined when imported, of one and one-fourth cents per pound when above 16 D. S. in color, and one cent per pound when not above 16 D. S. in color, and provides that all such imported Sugar testing 90 degrees pure sugar of above in the polariscope shall be classed and pay duty above 16 D. S. in color, The plan exempts from tax all sugar produced in the United States from beets, cane, sor- ghum and maple grown in this country. The rate prescribed may be changed to Produce whatever revenue may be required. Mr. Brown assumes that the present bounty can wisely be reduced pro rata to the tax levied, or if the rate be made one and one- half cents per pound internal revenue tax on grades above 18 D. S. in color and one and one-fourth cents on the lower grades of sugar refined in bond with a correspond- ing increase of duty on sugar imported for consumption without refining, then the bounty may be abolished. Mr. Brown is satisfied that our sugar industries demand one and one-half cents per pound protec- tion in some form and no more, judging from the cost of production, and that if duty be again levied, that and no more should be the rate on sugars not above 16 D. S. in color, with an extra rate on refined sugar, and all sugars above 16 D. 8. in color or testing 90 degrees and above pure sugar. ——+- oe. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Two Licenses. The attorney for the District holds in an opinion rendered to the Commissioners to- day that Kernan’s Theater is required to have two licenses—a license for the th and a license for the bar. -arrgl A Petition, Barnes & Weaver have petitioned the Commissioners to lay a sidewalk on the south side of Spruce street, Le Droit Park, reg ~ ip Pe oe house 328 westward to e west side of the side of Linder street. Sep a Cars to Be Hea ‘ed. The secretary of the Rock Creek Railway Company wrote the following letter to the Commissioners today: “Section 11 of the charter of the Rock Creek Railway Company provides, among other things, that the ‘cars are to be heated during the winter season, subject to regu- lations to be prescribed by the Commission- ers of the District of Columbia.’ We have been experimenting with the electrical heat- ers for street cars, and finding them sat! factory, being cleaner and less dangerous than coal stoves, and generating sufficient heat to keep the cars comfortably warm, we will equip enough cars in like manner to cover our winter schedule, and beg that you will advise us of any regulations you may wish to make under the above quoted pro- vision of the charter.” i 3 Market Value. ‘The secretary of the Federation of Labor today officially notified the Commissioners of the passage of the following resolution: “That we protest against any assessment of real estate in this District unless it is based upon the market value of the land exclusively.” A Railroad Hearing. The Commissioners gave a public hear- ing yesterday to those persons inter- ested in House bill 4410 to authorize the Washington and Marlborough electric rail- road to extend its lines within the District of Columbia, No one appeared in favor of the road, and Messrs.

L Two factions were represen:ed, it appear- ing in the proof that the pastor and Cole and Clark were not members of the majority faction. ‘The trouble has already been stated in The Star, and was over the meeting held in the church after one of the deacons or trustees had issued a call on the previous night. The pastor ordered the sexton to keep the charch locked on Monday night, but one of the trustees had a key and he unlocked the dcor. About 10 o’clock that evening the Rev. Stewart appeared, said Isaiah Lewis, one of the witnesses, whereupon Clark clapped his hands and shouted: “Now we'll have it.” Archie Harris was speaking about a letter that the pastor had given to Maj. Cox, au- thorizing him to collect funds. “Stewart,” said Lewis, “rushed at Harris and said, “If you say I gave Cox that letter, you're a dirty liar.’"” Witness said that Clark called out, “Go for him.” ‘Then the greatest confusion prevailed. Wo- men left their seats and screamed. He said that Clark had either a knife or razor in his hand, “Clark's record is bad,” said Witness Lewis, “and I know it.” “4s he a member of the church?” the judge ed. sir; he’s a member,” responded | “He's there, and his being there is | @ matter over which we have no control.” | The Factional Fight. Daniel Williams, who was moderator of the meeting, gave his version of the fac-| tional difficulty, and then a short woman, who responded to the call “Sister Lee,” ap- peared and gave the other side of the| trouble. | Defendant Cole made his statement of the case, denying the charge that he had been disorderly. Rev. Stewart's Testimony. ‘The Rev. Stewart was sworn in his own behalf, and he denied that he used the language attributed to him and told of the $5 given him by Maj.

He could not tell which | side had told the truth and so he dismissed | all the cases. | The Check Case. Against Maj. W. C. Cox, the colored poli- ticlan, was filed a warrant charging false | pretenses and embezzlement. Mr. Webb told of the $50 contribution he gave to Maj. Cox, his check for $40 of the money showing that it was made payable to “W. C. Cox, treasurer.” It was shown by the evidence that Cox was not even a mem- of the church. Rev. Stewart told of the manner of keep- ing the accounts of the church. He said that Cox had given him $5 on account and asked | him to extend the time, which he did. | Isaiah Lewis was called in this case and| he told of how he got from Cox a paper, the | letter given him by the pastor. He said that when he had a conversation with Cox the latter told him that he had collected the money and “blowed it in.” Counsel attempted to show by witness that he wanted to succeed the Rev. Stew- art as viendo of the church, but this wit- ented. e never done any preaching in my he said. you not preached on street cor- " he was asked. sir,” responded witness. “I done | Uke Judge Kimball—go around and advise people to do right, but I've never passed around the hat.” Preacher Stewart was then questioned concerning lewis’ spiritual aspirations, and he said: “The other night at the meeting | Lewis pronounced the benediction before I | could do it.” It appeared that the letter given Cox by the preacher was after he hed collected part of Mr. Webb's money. | | The defendant in his own behalf testified that his wife was a member of the church. He said that there was a young woman member of the church with whom he kept company and she gave him the book. De- fendant attempted to explain the action of the pastor and claimed that he had put in | | part of the money at the church rallies and | that he still owed some of the money to the church. Judge Miller said that if Cox exerted the | same enerev at the pick and shovel that he did in collecting money he would be able to earn a living. On the count charging false pretenses the court held the defendant for the grand jury es him in default of $1,000 se- curity. G. A. R.

An Arkansas City, Kan., dispatch says: The Kaw Indians are said to be in a starv- ing condition. The carrier bringing the news says that the Indians have eaten all the dogs, killed all the game and eaten all the provisions on the reservation. A band of twenty came north from the Kaw agency last night, entered Kansas at the mouth of Grouse creek and are going up it foraging. They steal everything they can get to eat. Capt. C. W. Burt says he gave them a| bushel of corn, and the starving Indians} made it into hominy and ate it greedily. The cause of their condition is the failure of the government to pay the Indians $10,000 lease money for grazing lands. The money was promised December 1, but has not yet been paid. The cattlemen have long since paid the government, but it has not yet been turned over to the Indians. Disease and starvation will soon make the Kaw NOTARIES PUBLIC.. OCEAN TRAVEL...

In all parts of the city the bright star and blue ribbon of The Evening Star Santa Claus Club are appearing. In fact, appli- cants for membership are coming forward faster than the badges, which are made at the rate of 5,000 a day, can be provided, but ‘it is believed that by the beginning of next week every boy and girl, little and big, who wants to help this noble cause can join and have the medal of honor awarded by Santa Claus to wear and to identify him or her’ with the club and its good works. When Christmas: comes there will be many homes made happier by the club. Every wearer of a club badge will have reason to be happier because of knowing that he has done something to relieve the suffering and to lighten the burdens of the poor. The older folks will help the club. Its wide-reaching organization and its alliance With the other charitable agencies of the city make it at this season practically a central bureau for receiving contributions of money and supplies and distributing them effectively and with proper discrimi- |nation among the needy. All of the school | organization fs enlisted in the work, a fact that is much to the credit of everybody | connected with the schools, from the su- perintendent down to the last little tot. | Principals, teachers and all are manifesting | much interest in the club, and the result is that in every part of the city, in fact, in every square, and almost in every house, there is some one looking for those who may worthily become the beneficiaries of the club. No more thorough canvass could be made and no better means employed for insuring a distribution among those really in need. In addition, the aid of the Asso- ciated Charities and of the police will be given. Not money only is required. ‘There will be need for all the contributions of supplies of a proper character that may be sent in. The kind of supplies needed are tea, sugar, potatoes and non-perishable pro- | visions, which should be wrapped well so the packages will not break, and be plainly marked so as to show the contents of the packages. Such supplies may be sent to the nearest public school building. ‘There are hundreds of people in this city ready to give to the poor if they only knew how and where to give. In many house- holds are quantities of good warm clothing, no longer in use, which would make many half-clad and shivering unfortunates com- | fortable. The Evening Star Santa Claus Club will welcome contributions of cloth- ing. The garments should be clean and in good enough repair for use, so that. they can be immediately distributed among needy people. Persons who have such clothing and are willing to give shoud no- tify The Evening Star by postal card or otherwise and a wagon will call at the house for the contribution. SRS Real Estate Matters. 8.
