He is not satisfied with the deal made by Messrs. Comiskey and Schmelz to trade him for Hoy. Sullivan is under the impression that Cincinnati is anxious to see the deal go through, to make a sure thing of Hoy. Sullivan, however, must be induced to agree to the Washington terms. Sullivan’s two years in the Boston Law School has given him an idea that he can arrange his own base ball deals and will, therefore, make Cincinnati either pay him a bonus or give him an out and out release, with the right to sign with any club he cares to. He is already too much of a diplo- mat to accept one of those league releases that has a wire attachment. He is a first- class player, will not return to the business until about June 1, and until then will await any proposition from Cincinnatt. |" Campau says he will not play with Wash- ington. Von der Ahe wants Billy Joyce on third, Brouthers on first and Danny Richardson on third. Joyce promises to make it lively for the Washington management if Gum- bert wins his suit from Chicago for salary. — TOUGH CITIZENS. Germs Have No Fear of Tobacco or Whisky. | Surgeon General Sternberg of the army delivered an interesting lecture’at the Army and Navy Club Jast evening on the subject of germ diseases, in the course of which he explained the nature and progress of ex- periments in bacteriology at the Army Med- ical Museum. He referred in detail to the various forms of germ life and expressed the conclusion that germs cultivated out- | side the human body become attenuated and | do not long retain their vitality. The germs lived in water sometimes for a long period and when drank produced mild forms of disease. When reproduced in the body they recovered their vitality. Dr. Sternberg said that influenza or the grip was found to bea germ disease and its prevalence was due to the fact that people give it off in their breath and take no precautions to prevent it. The popular idea that tobacco was @ preventive of this class of disease was mis. taken, for a student once had experimented and found that bacteria would flourish in a tobacco culture. Some germs could be killed by immersion for a long time in alcohol, but |the average germ would only laugh at old Kentucky or commissary whisky. The annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Views on Mr. Cleveland's Latest State Paper. Commenting on the President’s message im regard to the Hawaiian question, the New York Sun says: ‘The very first paragraph of the Hawal- fan mesgage shows the President's inherent and inextinguishable contempt for the au- thority of Congress. He has been brougnt up with a round turn in his secret pursuit of the policy of infamy. Mr. Cleveland pre- faces his message of yesterday not, as is customary, with a straightforward state- ment of the truth, namely, that it is sub- mitted in consequence of,and in obedience to, the command of the federal legislature, but with the speaking pretense that this mes- sage originates solely within his volition, and is now written in pursuance of a prev- fously expressed “intention of transmitting further information on the subject when ad- ditional advices permitted.” Mr. Cleveland’s presentation is no strong- er than was Secretary Gresham’ Mr. Gresham’s carried no more. weight than Blount’s; what Blount’s is worth the whole country, including Congress, now perfectly understands. The New York Herald says: “Mr. Cleveland has never sent to Congress @ stronger message than that in which he depicts the Hawatian revolution as an an- nexation conspiracy, which for flagrant abuse of the authority of the United States has no parallel in our diplomatic annals.” The New York Times say: “The President's message is largely made up of a clear and forcible statement of facts which have already been made public. It is marked throughout with the courage- ous candor and deep sense of right that characterize all of President Cleveland’s ut- terances and give them irresistible force with the people of this country.” The New York 1'ribune says: “No light whatever is thrown by this mes- Sage on the real practical problem present- ed by the Hawalian complications. It is simply a statement of what Mr. Cleveland chose to regard as the facts in the case on the day that he took office and of what he sent Mr. Blount to Hawaii for the purpose of making out the facts to be.” The New York World says: “The people of the United States will never approve of the active agency of their government in setting up a.throne and plac- ing @ monarch upon it, no matter how the throne came to be overturned or the mon- arch deposed. The President's considera- tions of ‘rignt and justice’ will not prevail against the instinctive feeling and the in- bred principle of our people against the monarchial system. ‘The sentiments which he professesgmight apply in Utopta. ‘They are not applicable to the affairs of nations in this hardheaded, workaday world. Car- ried to its logical end, the Presiden’ con- tention would restore this continent to the Indians and surrender to the English, the Spaniards and the Mexicans a large part of our territory. It is not possible to conduct governments or to advance civilization on the refinements of ideal justice. “Impossible as would be the restoration of a respectable and capable monarchy by the ‘good offices’ of this republic, the setting Up of the preposterous Hawatian queen upon her mimic throne would add the absurdity of opera-bouffe diplomacy to a flagrant stultification of the democratic principle.” The Philadelphia Prees says: “Mr. Cleveland’s administration is the only one for half a century that would not have welcomed the opportunity which the Hawaiian people gave us, and, unpatriotic as it is, even this administration would doubtless have seized upon it but for its buerile, spiteful. malignant hatred of every- thing done by President Harrison. Its mis- erable policy of monarchical restoration has gone to pieces. The President is compelled to submit it to Congress without recom- mendation, and even his own partisan Con- gress will spurn it.” The Philadelphia Times says: “The President submits the whole ques- tion to ‘the broader authority and discre- tion of Congress.’ But it is not clear that Congress has anything to do in the prem- ises. The President's own position is abso- lutely unassailable. So far as was in his power he has corrected a wrong for which he was not responsible, while keeping en- tirely within the limit of his constitutional authority and he may safely leave the final judgment to the conscience of the Ameri- can people.” The London Daily News says of the mes- sage: “There is something very fine in the persistent refusal of the United States to be drawn into the vortex of the policy of annexation. Here we can only look on and admire without being able to imitate, »1- though we might a little as opportunity served.” As to the queen's objection to granting amnesty the Daily News says: “She should have read again the history of the Ameri- can civil war. It would show her that the shortest way with a rebellion is to treat the rebels with mercy as soon as they are put down. There would be nothing but good in inviting the people of free choice to form a government, both: as a remedy for present evils and as the assertion of a principle.” aie Given Time to Pay His Fi A neatly dressed young man, answering the name “William H. Lamont,” stood be- fore Judge Kimball this morning, charged with an offense resulting trom the use of intoxicants. He plead guilty to the charge and asked for time to pay his fine. Police- man Haller told of the arrest of the detend- ant at the street car junction, corner vth street and New York avenue, last night. A physical infirmity was the excuse given by the man and he also admitted that Mquor played an important part in the violation. “That makes a bad combination,” the Judge told him; “and,” he added, “you will have to pay a fine of $10, or thirty days.” “Will your honor give me time to pay the fine?” “How long do you want?’ “Until Saturday.” “Is Lamont your right name?" ‘No, sir; my name is William Lewis and 1 live on Sth street.” His bond was taken to pay the tine, which will deprive him of some Christmas money. Dan Twomey in Another Fight. Daniel Twomey, the man who was arrest- ed some days ago on a charge of cutting W. B. Jennings, the race horse owner, as published in The Star at the time, was down town last night, and after drinking freely for some time, he went into Selby's saloon, on Pennsylvania avenue near 6th street, where he got into a fight. A giass of seltzer was thrown and some one struck Twomey with his fist and blacked his eye. Joseph E. Gomm was unfortunate enough to enter the saloon at the wrong time. Twomey was looking for some one to hit and his fist landed against Gomm's face with such force that it staggered him. Dan then left the place, but later in the night he Was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Hack Inspector Groff. ‘The parties appeared in Judge Miller's court this morning and a fine of $20 was imposed on Twomey, which he paid. Een ARES A Noted Name. Maj. H. L. Daingerfield Lewis, a grand- son of Nellie Custis and an old resident of Berryville, Va., died suddenly at that place yesterday morning of heart trouble. He was in Washington last week visiting Mr. Frank Tilford of New Hampshire ave- nue, who recently married his daughter, Miss Rosalie Lewis. He leaves a wife and eleven children. Maj. Lewis was fifty-two years of age and livel at Audley, near Berryville, the former home of Nellie Custis, which was lett to him at her death. All of the furni- ture and household effects were also left to Maj. Lewis, including many relics of Washington. He was a leading citizen of Clarke county. He entered the confederate Tmy as a cavalryman at seventeen, and was an aid to Gen. R. E. Lee, to whom he was related. He was a member of the Virginia legislature for several years and was on Gov. Lee's staff. _——. Officers Elected. The following were elected as officers of Columbia Conclave, No. 11, I. 0. H., at their meeting held Saturday evening, December 16, 1893: Ernest B. Osborne, archon; Ed- win H. Brown, provost; Nelson Lucas, prel- ate; Wm. H.’ Knotts, financier; Wm. H. Hodges, treasurer; W. D.

Kincaid, formerly a resi- dent of this city, where he was well known in Y¥. M. C. A. circles and active in church work, died at his home in Danville, Ky., last Thursday of grip and typhoid fever. ‘The young man was twenty-three years of age and was a brother of Mr. Charles F. Kincaid, formerly Washington correspond- ent of the Louisville Times and now govern- THE EAST INDIA LOAN. Passed on the Third Reading in the Honse of Commons. ‘The East India loan bill came up on its third reading yesterday in the British house of commons. In the discussion of the measure the Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, president of the board of agriculture in Lord Salisbury’s last cabi- net, traced the monetary troubles of India to the abandonment of bimetallism. The closing of the mints had deprived the gov- ernment of the largest market in the world for silver, and had lowered the value of the metal beyond precedent. The ministry, Mr. Chaplin added, asserts that the Brussels monetary conference was broken up because other nations would have nothing to do with bimetallism. The fact was that the conference had failed, as the imperial German chancellor recently stated, because nothing could be done with Great Britain. Under Mr. Gladstone there was no chance of anything being attempted. if India council bills continued to be not sold in the future what would the government do? It could not reduce expenditures nor increase taxation in India. Could the gov- ernment go on borrowing? It would lead to bankruptcy in the immediate future. If the government saw a way out of the difficulty it ought to take parliament into its con- fidence. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, said that there had been @ great fall in the price of silver under the Salisbury government, yet that government did not propose bimetallism, although Mr. Chaplin was then a member of the cabinet. The alleged cause of the failure of the Brussels monetary conference was incor- rect, for on the first day of the conference, before the English delegates had made any statement, the German delegates announced that their government could not accept bi- metallism. For the experiment being tried in India time must be allowed. If it should prove unsuccessful it could be corrected. He fully believed that it would succeed. The Rt. Hon. George J. Goschen, formerly chancellor of the exchequer, held that the position of India was critical, but he was opposed to any attempt to surmount the difficulty by putting an import duty on sil- ver. Such a course, he maintained, would aggravate instead of relieving the difficulty. The bill then passed its third reading without a division of the house being taken. coe Scott Council Election.

Swift shall occupy the office of mayor durirg the remainder of the term for which the late Carter H. Harrison was elected. The campaign has been conducted with great spirit and earnestness on both sides, but the intense bitterness and per- sonalities that usually characterize a mun- icipal contest in Chicago have been lacking. This is due to the brief time allowed for active campaign work between the noml- nating conventions he!d December 2 and the election today. The managers of the republican campaign estimate Swift's ma- jority at about 5,000, while at democratic headquarters no one will admit of the pos- sibility of Hopkins having less than 10,000 more votes than his republican opponent. AN INTERESTING COINCIDENCE. A Pretty Story in Which a Fireman and a Little Boy Figure. Some time ago a child playing carelessly in the streets of the northwest section of the city was run over by the horses attached to a fire engine while the wild steeds were being exercised. He was tenderly lifted from the dirty street by the broad-shoul- dered, kind-hearted tireman who nad unin- tentionally been the cause of the accident and under his personal supervision removed to the hospital. The injuries which the child received were of such a serious character that he was compelled to remain in the hospital for sev- eral weeks, but finally it was decided best to remove him to his home, where he might receive the attentions which can be given only by a loving mother. Several’ days after his arrival at his home, the several members of the family detected the smell of smoke at frequent intervals. Not certain where it originated, they failed to investi- gate the matter; but their neighbors also detected the odor, and, after an investiga- tion, discovered that a fire was raging be- tween the two houses. They immediately dispatched a messenger to give an alarm, and after much impatient waiting were re- warded with the sight of the fire engines coming down the street amidst mueh clamor and noise. The foreman directed one party to enter one house and another to enter the other. The family of the invalid, totally un- conscious of what was going on, was en- gaged in eating a meal, and the sick boy was alone, when the firemen rushed in and hurried up stairs. On the second story they burst into a room so full of smoke that ob- jects were hardly discernible and the at- mosphere was in a suffocating condition. The foremost of the firemen, by force of habit, scrutinized the room in search of anything that might be injured by the smoke, when he discovered the form of a human being lying on a couch in the corner. Hastily wrapping a quantity of bed clothes around the person he lifted him in his strong arms and quickly bore him to a more pleas- ant and less dangerous part of the house. After the fire had been extinguished, the rescuer found his way down the stairs to see how the rescued was getting along and was ushered into the room. The reader can about surmise what Is going to follow, but he can also easily imagine the astonishment of the fireman when he discovered that the person he had saved was the child he had almost killed several weeks ago out in the street.
