The President of the Company States | That the Rond Will Be in Opera- tion Next September. The project of building an electric road between this city and Baltimore has been much diseussed and steps have been taken in the way of making surveys with the view of determining the precise route. It | 4s stated by the Baltimore Sun ot today that the promoters of the new road met in Baiti- more on Thursday and discussed their plans. Those at the meeting were President New- bold, Messrs. T. Edward Hambleton and Howard Munnikhuysen of Baltimore, Peter E. B. Widener. W. L. Elkins and ‘Thomas Dolan of Philadelphia, directors. ‘The president of the Baltimore and Wash- ington Klectric Railway Company, as the corporation which proposes to carry out this enterprise is Known, was reported in the course of an interview in the Baltimore Sun of today to have said that “everything connected with the route of our railroad is settled except the entrance into Balti- | mor® ‘Ihe, engineering corps is now at work making surveys to Baltimore, and un- Ul its report is received nothing can be de- cided in this matter. Fifteen or sixteen sur- veys have been made, and it remains for thé directors of the company to select the most practicable and feasible route. “I expect the report of the engineers to be made Saturday or Monday. After this has been considered the company will select the route it will adopt, and contracts for build- ing the line will be awarded. We expect to give out all the contracts within the next ten days.” ‘Their Line in This City. Continuing, Mr. Newbold is quoted as saying: “Our company controls the Eck- ington and Belt street railway systems in Washington, and it is over these lines that we will get an entrance into that city. A law of Congress compels street railways in the District of Columbia to adopt a stand- ard gauge of four feet eight inches. This being the case, we are forced to build a similar gauge throughout, our entire line. The street railway tracks in Baltimore have a gauge of five feet four inches, which will preclude our using any of them to get into the city. “It can be safely stated that the road will be built and in operation by September . 1804. The length of the line between Baltimcre and Washir.gton will be a frac- ticn over twenty-eight miles. The run will be made between the two cities in one hour. The charge for a round trip will be $1, and tickets issued will contain coupons entitling the holder to a free ride on any street railway systems in this city. This will give passengers an ofportunity to reach any rection of Baltimore or Wash- ington without extra charge. Model Cars, “The plans for our cars are now in the hands of the J. G. Brill Company of Phila- delphia. The cars will be modeled after the Pullman palace cars and will contain every convenience for the comfort of passengers. Regular express and accommodation serv- ice will be given. The express trains will be run between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock in the morning and 4 and 7 o'clock in the evening. The accommodation trains will be run at other times. “As soon as the right to enter Baltimore is obtained four gangs of workmen will be engaged in constructing the line—one out of Washington toward Laurel, one each from Laurel to Washington and Laurel to Baltimore, and one on the Baltimore end toward Laurel.” The Probable Route. In regard to thé probable route the Sun has the following: “It is said that the route most favorably considered by the company is by way of the Washington road and through Relay station on the Baltimore and Ohio. The plan is to build the electric road from a point near the Mt. Clare shops along McHenry street to Ram- sey street. The line is to follow Ramsey street to Gwynn’'s Falls, which is to be bridged. The tracks are to extend from Gwynn’s falls parallel to Wilkens avenue. This avenue is expected to be followed to a point near St. Mary's Industrial School, from which the road will continue in a direct line to the Washington road.” pan See BLACK YOUR OWN BOOTS. You Might Just as Well, and Here's a Good Way. There are some folks who do not black their own footgear because it is a dirty process and because it takes time. Those folks need not read this. They are beyond cure. But the people who believe that a nickel saved is as good as 10 cents found may as well pay attention to Jearn now they can get a magnificent shine on their own ,brogans that will last just as long as that administered by the grimy genius at the corner. Now there’s oné, disadvantage about the blacking on shoes. It is apt to soil the edges of the trousers and make them unfit for publication. A good shine will not do that and one does not need to patronize the Abyssinian who wields the brushes to obtain one. The secret of a good black lies in the final polish that is given, not by brushes or by the paim of the hand, which is used by some connoisseurs in this line. it is put on by means of a hard friction with a strip of canvas, or, better, canton flannel with the wooly side against the leather. In New York every bootblack uses this finishing rag and as a result the metropolitan shine looms far above that of this city. There are a few boys here to whom the secret has been given, confiden- tally, by travelers who have escaped from Gotham. They are now the kings of the trade and command great consideration for their high polishes and their lasting quali- ties. There are reasons why one cannot in- dulge in the canton flannel shine at home without certain preparations. In the first Place, it is ditficult to get such an angle on one’s seif that the slippery strip of cloth can be made to produce the proper amount of friction. One cannot get underneath one’s self very well, you know. Were the arms of the human creature about two feet longer@t might be possible to let the hands fall out to their full length and get a good grip on the flannel. But under ex- isting circumstances, art must step in to supply the deficiency. A fellow can pull up as well as down, it would seem, and so the amateur bootblack calls in a litte mechanics to his aid. He | seeks first an abandoned soap box and re- moves the boards from one of the nar- row sides. Thus it can be stood on the other narrow side and form a sort of wood- | en hole, with the opening upward. Straight across the middle, then, the nar- rowest way, he nails a strip of wood about two inches wide, or may be an inch and a half. This is for a foot rest. Just on each | side of this there must be a smooth roller. Wife, mother or sister will surely have some old curtain poles, or if none be with- in reach, a plebian broomstick will answer. These rollers should fit in neatly, and should be flush with the top of the box and about an inch away from the foot rest. It is not necessary that they should turn on be merely smooth and round. The object is to get something around which the cloth will run easily. Then pass the latter down under one roller, then up and over the shoe, as it rests on wl other roller and up again. Get a good hold ) on each end and pull on that rag for all it’s | in the world. They went from ne worth. You will be surprised how easily you can tire yourself at this exercise, an} later how much easter it has become. You will also be gratified to see how finely the blacking hardens and glows until your heart ewells with pride, and, with your breath coming in short sections, you remove your boot and go upstairs to show the results of your in- dustry. —— A School for Gallantry.

Mr. Morey Talks in an Interesting Way of People. Mr. William Morey, jr., a native of the Island of Ceylon, gave The Star man an entertaining talk on affairs oriental, at the | Normandie last night. In answer to a {question as to what interest India felt in the Siamese problem, he said: “India watches the political situation in Siam with anxiety. There, history is repeating itself. British aggression in Burmah, In- dia and Ceylon are being repeated by other European nations elsewhere, and Siam will share the fate of Annam unless some reat power iike China, fresh with the memories of Tonquin, takes a hand. To jIndia, these events are signs of the times, jand are studied with zeal and hope. With ; fifty million people on the verge of starva- ; tion, with stagnation in all industries, with | money valnes reduced, and the burden of an enormous army, it is natural that a change is desired. England stands in dread | of the impending conflict.” “What conflict?” asked the reporter. “The battle of India will be fought on the field of Europe. aa success in Siam endangers British supremacy in the east. | 8ngland will become involved with France, jand the ally of the latter, Russia, will cross the passes of the Himilayers into northern Europe. This will set the legions of all | Europe into motion. The possibilities of such a situation are appalling. England will forget India, and France, Siam. Although Russia will find a rousing wel- come at the banks of the Ganges and at | the Gates of Delhi, her tenure in India will | be brief. “It will be just long enough for | the recoup of the native states.” | Why will Russian rule be an improve- ment over that of the English?” insisted | The Star man. “Probably it will not be so considered |from the standpoint of western civiliza- ;tion, but Americans are prone to judge of | such matters from their standpoint. When De Gama touched India, he found a vast empire, rich and populous, whose civiliza- tion antedated that of ail’ other countries. Among the temples and the dogbas, and within the cloisters of a learned priesthood he found a rich literature and’'a religion | flowing from the grandest founts of phil- |osophy. He found a peopie living under | the benefits of a civilization that had been thousands of years in building. 7 “To that country Europe could lend noth- | ing that, viewed from an Indian standpoint, was worthy of adoption. Europe could not wipe out the customs of its ancient civili- zation, nor introduce any really new the- | ologies. First the Portuguese, then the | Dutch, and lastly the English, all of them | the leading national parasites of the earth, attached themselves to India. The kernel in the nut was the great Indian trade and revenue, and the fragmeats of the shell are the principalities nominally ruled by native princes, but the so-called peaceful | Protectorate of England. The few Ku- ropeans who dwell there have, by virtue \of British guns, been able to impose the taxes and collect them. That is all they care for, while their weak attempts at bettering the condition of the masses are Bad the purpose of impressing the world at “Why is there a bond of sympathy be- tween Indta and Ceylon and Siam?” said the reporter. ' “To some extent through Buddhism be- tween Northern India and Burmah, and between Burmah and Si: and the latter and Ceylon. The Buddhists in Ceylon are divided into the Siamese and the Burmahan Burmese, or Amarapura sects; but relig- fous sentiment is not alone sufficient to unite the countries named, because the teachings of their philosophy tmpose peace as one of the conditions in the attainment of Nirvani.” “What about caste?” said the Washing- = “Caste is a pecullar social appendage, but I think you will admit to a certain ex- tent it exists in the most cultivated and tfined Christian communities. Look at ‘he sham aristocracy of this country. Those rho have not studied the languages, the- ologies and customs of the races of India know nothing about caste. The system has | been carried to an extreme because of hu- man vanity. In this country the dude as- sumes superiority over those who may | be his superiors in all respects, excepting clothes. While caste has subdivided one race into several communities it has aided in preserving the ethnic purity of the race.” | RRC: A WHEN THE SENATOR WAS A BABY. His Father Shot Deer on the Way to Among the most active observers of pub- lic affairs in Washington this winter is Maj. H. N. Davis of St. Paul, father of Senator Davis. Maj. Davis was eighty-one years old the other day, and yet he walks from the Senator's home at 1428 Massachusetts avenue every day to the Capitol and back. “My old friends,” said the major to a Star reporter yesterday, “the real old ones who knew me ‘befo’ de wah,’ as they say across the Potomacgtell me I look precisely as I did thirty years ago.

An Interesting Talk on Studying Music in Europe. | Albert Schott Tella Some of His Own Expertences—Local Musical Events of Interest. The experience of an American who has | Studied music in Europe is always interest- ing, and in the course of a brief talk with Mr. Albert Schott the othe> evening he told | of the severe course of study to which he | had been subjected. “You see,” he said, “I | have been under the complete control of my | cousin Anton, and inasmuch as he owes his great success to the severe discipline he re- ceived in his educational stage, he proposes} that I shall not be permitted to lag in any way. I have never grumbled, although the work has been very hard. He says that he> wants me to be so thoroughly acquainted with every operatic role that I learn that, if he should wake me up at night and give! | me any cue, say of Lohengrin, for instance, | | 1 could immediately take up the score and} | go on with it, proving that I have thorough- ly absorbed the part, as it were.” Speaking of the Americans who go abroad to steady music he says the reason why so many of them fail is because they want to | do too much in a short space of time. “The: voice is a most delicate organ,” he added, “and requires time and care fo> its devel- opment. You cannot force it, for if you do you injure its timbre, and may undo much good work that has gone before. I have been studying six years, and, although 1 have been successful, both in concert and/ opera, I feel that 1 must study yet. There are between six and seven thousand Amer- icans who go to Europe every year to study music. Most of them get together a littie! money and think that they will get the} prestige of a European training and debut. | ‘They will go to some instructor and ask how long it will take them to become sing- 1 ers, “The answer, after ascertaining how much preparatory work had been done, is usually | about four years. Then they want to know | if it can’t be done in one or two years. If | the teacker is honest and conscientious, he will say no, but if he is not he will take the pupils’ money and do the best possible in! the time allowed. These pupils never make | artists, and in many instances it is a pure | waste of time and money.” Mr. Schott said he was glad to be once} more back in his native city, for he 1s fully as’ much of an American as ever, and he | cnly lamented that there was not the field | for grand opera in this country that there was abroad. He and his cousin will return | here in April. { An interesting musical event is the recital to be given by Mrs. Perkins, Miss von | Stosch and Mr. Lawrence at the Universal- | ist Church next Wednesday evening. Miss yon Stosch, who has, in spite of her youth, a world-wide reputation as a violinist, was born in Washington, and, although educat- ed abroad, still considers this her home. Her playing not only has finish and breadth, but ‘that subtler something which indicates | genius. Of Mrs, Perkins and her method it is almost unnecessary to speak to any | one interested in music in this city. She is essentially a ballad singer, and in simple; songs her voice shows best its finish and culture. Of the pianists of Washington, Mr. John Porter Lawrence stands easily at the head. He was born here, and received his early musical education under Dr. Gloetzner. After this he went to Leipzig, remaining five years at the conservatory, from which he graduated in 18¥1, taking the first prize. At the concert Mr. Law- rence will play the celebrated Reinecke concerto, opus 72, which he studied under Herr Reinecke; a Chopin impromptu, and ®chubert's variations in B flat. A reature of the evening will be the singing, by Mrs. Perkins, of Mr. Lawrence’ “The The Georgetown Amateur Orchestra con- certs, which have long been recognized as part of each winter’s musical and social life of Washington, promise to be vetter than ever this year. Mr. Herman C. Rake- mann, the new conductor, is holding weekly rehearsals. The orchestra has been con- siderably enlarged, and fine programs are to be given at each concert. Season sub- scriptions have been reduced to $1.25 thi year. At the first concert, February Miss Sopha Church Hall, formerly of New York, a splendid contralto, will sing, and Mr. John P. Lawrence will play a concert- stueck. Seats can now be secured at Metz- erott'’s. The Philharmonic Club concert, will be given on the 24th instant at the Universalist Chureh, 13th and L. streets, promises to be an enjoyable event. Miss | Leonora Von Stosch, violinist, who has nad quite a tour with the Marine Band, will as- sist the club, and she has a host of frieals in this her native city. Lovers of children and music will be Pleased to know that the happy combination of both these charms can be enjoyed at the New National Theater on Saturday afternoon, February 3%. On this occasion | the opera of “Pinafore” will be sung by | young masters and misses whose ages range from that of the tiny tot of a mid- |shipmite who carries the burdens of four years upon her graceful shoulders up to thirteen. years. Ever since these little folks gave such a faithful presentation of this opera in May last there has been a con- stant and increasing demand for its repeti- ton. The principal characters will be rep- resented, with two or three exceptions, by those who took part in the last perform- ance. The cast and chorus rehearsals are being held tri-weekly, and already show a degree of proficiency worthy artists of! years of experience. Professors Cloward and Howard are teaching the music, and Mr. Willis B.

The acting of Mr. Pel- ham in his “Reminiscences of Rate Read- ers” brought forth storms of applause and laughter, but the climax was reached when he impersonated Artemus Ward. Though the change was made before the audience, it was hard to realize that the same person was speakin, The 4 Course.—The combination entertainment given by the world-renowned humorist, Bill Nye, and America’s favorite entertainer, Wm. Hawley Smith, a record breaker financially as wel ar- ustically, which clearly shows wnat kind of entertainment the people waat durnmg hard times.

I expect on next Monday morning, Novem- | ber 13, to have an interview wjth the queen, | which, if satisfactory, will be followed im- mediately by one with the provisional gov- ernment. I have, therefore, inclosed tele- tam to your dispatch agent at San Fran- cisco, as follows: ‘Report can be sent to Congress on the 19th November,’ it being | | my understanding that you desired to have | (all the facts presented before any decisive action here. | “The Alameda, the next vessel leaving j here after next Monday, will not reach San Francisco until November 23, during which | ‘interval it is hoped some definite result \may be secured.” | The interview with the queen, first had, | was evidently not “satisfactory,” for on | the 16th of November Mr. Willis telegraphed | Secretary Gresham as follows: “Views of first party so extreme as to |require instructions, |" Gigneay “WILLIS.” \ To Protect the Queen. Mr. Willis, in his confidential dispatch of November 11, intimated that the question as to whether the United States was pre- pared to protect the person of the’ queen had) been officially asked of him by the British minister, Major Wodehouse. Mr. Willis replied (to the British minister) that, | without reference to her royal claims, the | queen stood in such relations to the United | | States that she was entitled to and would ‘receive the amplest pcotection at their hards. As @ matter of fact, I had already |ascertained that, at present, she did not |desire our protection. After next Monday, | however, and earlier if necessary, I shall | insist on her coming to the legation.” | The domiciling of Queen Liltuokalani in the American legation appears to have | been another of Mr. Willis’ original inten- tions which he left unexecuted. | There is also included in the correspon- dence a ve>y significant letter from Minis- | ter Thurston to Secretary G: . Reply- ing to the statement of the President's po- sition as based on Mr. Biount’s report, Mr. | Thurston, unde: a date as recent as Decem- ber & last (one day after the assembling of Congress and just before he started back to Honolulu), writes as follow: Minister Thurston's Letter. “In opposition to such proposed action, 1 | hereby on behalf of the government I rep- hagas submit: | “There is nothing lacking to constitute |the present government of Hawali a full, free and independent sovereignty, subject | to all the obligations and entitled to all the rights, privileges and courtesies accorded by the United States government to the most favored nations with whom it is in | treaty relations. “The government of the United States has acquired no jurisdiction over the inde- | Pendent sovereign state of Hawaii. There | being two distinct sovereignties, jurisdic- |tion by the United States can only be ob- | tained in three ways, viz.: (1) By conquest; | @) by treaty; (3) by volun’ submission to the decision of the United States govern- ment in the nature of arbitration. “There is no claim made that the sov- <reignty of Hawaii is subordinate to that of the United States, by reason of conquest, nor has it been surrendered by treaty, “There is suggestion, however, in the com- munication by yourself to the President, above referred to, that authority by volun- tary submission in the nature of a power to arbitrate has been conferred upon the | government of the United States. I refer | to that portion wherein you state that ‘The | government of Hawaii surrendered its au- | thority under a threat of war, until such |time as the government of the United States, upon the facts being presented to |4t, should reinstate the constitutional sov-! } ;' and the provisional government was created ‘to exist until terms of union with | the United States of America have been negotiated and agreed upon.’ “I submit that no such authority has been | conferred, and in support of such contention present the following reason: “1. If the parties in Hawaii contending for the control of the government had in- tended to submit their differences to the arbitration of the United States, a formal tatement of such differences and the points |to be settled would have been drawn up | and signed in the usual form of an agree- ment for arbitration. “No such action has been taken. “2. An arbitration is essentially a judicial proceeding, the elemental features of which, under the principles and forms of procedure | in use botn in the United States and Ha- wali, are, first, notice of the charges made ‘or points at issue; second, opportunity to j hear and cross-examine evidence produced third, opportunity \by the opposing part to produce evidence in support of claims made to meet that of the opposing party; ‘fourth, a full and fair hearing accorded to both parties in open court. “In no particular have these particulars, | |fundamental to the just and equitable de- | jcision of the simplest judicial issue, been | |observed in this admittably complicated | | question. * * * * j |, “It 1s an axiom of law that no man may | take advantage of his own wrong.

NEWS BROUGHT BY THE CORW iN. \ jt Was Closely Guarded by Those on the Catter. A United Press copyright special from San Francisco, dated January 5 says: Great indignation exists in local newspaper circles over the discourteous treatment accorded the representatives of j the press who tried to board the Corwin. All requests for information were gruftiy met. The receipt of this is, perhaps, due to the raking over that Capt. Munger got from the department for allowing the news of Lis intended departure to become public. The revenue cutter Corwin, which w | due last Saturday, arrived at the entrance j of the harbor about 11 o'clock this morn- | ing. She did not enter, but lay to off Fort | Point long enough to send a boat to shore | with dispatches, and then sailed in and | anchored off Sausalito, whence she after- ward proceeded to Mare Island. A United Press reporter, in a boat, met the cutter off the fort and endeavored to board her, but was repulsed. His inquiries as to how things were going at Honolulu were un- answered. All hands had evidently receiv- ed strictest injunctions as to silence on that point, and no intelligence could be got out of anybody. Only a hint of news at first was given by one of the crew, who said, over the side, to the reporter: “There is a big row on down in tonolutu.” Afterward, in answer to a question, Capt. Munger yelled back: “The queen had not been put back on the throne when we left, but she may be there now, all the same.” After putting an officer ‘with dispatches for Washington ashore, the Corwin steamed over to Sausalito. From the appearance of the steamer, she must have been pressed during the run, and the chances are that it is not more than ten days since she left Honolulu. Her starboard coal bunkers were apparently empty, as she had a decided list to port. Later—The Corwin, which was supposea to have started for Mare Island, has not been sighted there up to # late hour to- night. It is supposed she is anchored near the quarantine station. It is reported from Mare Island late to- night that the Mohican is hurriedly fitting for sea. It is supposed that she is bound for Honolulu. The whereabouts of the Corwin at 10:40 tonight have become a mystery, and a tug has started in search of her. poet oor. Reduced Rate to Baltimore.
