A Chicago Doctor Secures Many Phy- sicianw’ Certificates From Holland. CHICAGO, Feb. 15.—A scheme has just -| been unearthed in Chicago, which, had it runt its ‘course, would have deprived half a hundred physicians in Holland of their right to practice medicine in their native land. The whole thing originated in the fertile brain of a Holland doctor of the name of Von Noppen, formerly an employe in the physicians’ office at Siegel, Cooper & Co.’s, and his little scheme may yet get him into trouble with the home government if his dupes are inclined,!o push the matter. | While in’ the employ of the firm the “doc- tor't) formed the acquaintance of a fellow- | countryman named Zuidema, who gave him permission to use his name in an advertise- ment, which, Von Noppen said, was to be inserted’ in a medical journal in Holland. A few weeks ago the advertisement made its appearance in a foreign medical journal and it has apparently created a great stir among the fraternity of the whole country. The advertisement reads: “Wanted—A physician who has graduated from a Holland medical college to locate in Pennsylvania, United States America. Free transportation will be furnished, free house and stable rent, and an income of $5,000 per | annum guaranteed by the government. ue answering please send your diploma. Mr. p Zuid mma. No. 190 Ferdinand street, Chica- U. S.A. shares, fat, registered letters, covered with | foreign stamps, began to arrive almost im-j mediately, and these were turned over to Von Noppen. This was continued for sev- eral days, when Zuidema became suspicious, and, opening one of them, found a doctor's certificate and a copy of the advertisement cut from the paper. He was now thoroughly alarmed, and, taking all the letters which had arrived that day, he called on Mr. Geo, Birkhoff, jr., consul of the Netherlands, be- fore whom he laid the case. ‘Von Noppen was immediately summoned, and, under threat of prosecution, gave up the letters which had been delivered to him. He admitted that the advertisement was a fake and the reason he gave for having in- serted it was that when he had emigrated to this country an article appeared in Hol- land stating that only the least suc- cessful physicians found it necessary to leave the mother country, and to prove that this was false he wanted to get a list of those who were only awaiting an oppor- tunity. Mr. Birkhoff was seen, and when asked as to the truth of the matter said: “Yes, unfortunately, it is true. Thirty answe: have been received up to date and more are coming every day. Only yesterday one phy- siclan sent a cablegram which must have cost at léast $20. Most of these letters con- | tain all the papers which give the sender a right to practice medicine, and in many in- stances they could not be replaced should they haye been lost. I am returning them as rapidly as possible, with an explanation which will probably make them more care- ful about parting with these documents in the future.” What Von Noppen expected to gain Is not known. If he has no certificate for prac- ticing medicine he may have expected in this way to obtain one for himself. Or it may have been his design to extort money from his victims, or, possibly, to sell these diplomas to those who were without them, sa NE SS Ss HAGERSTOWN AND VICINITY. nce of The Evening Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md., Feb. 14, 1894, Tomorrow Judge Stake of the circuit court of this county will hear the applica- tion made in equity by the trustees of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal to extend the time of experimenting with the canal as a | waterway from four to ten years. The trustees think, as set out in their bill, the time is extended, electricity will be in- troduced and the traffic on the waterway will be materially increased. The cost of repairing the canal under the order of the court granting the power to the present trustees was over $430,000. A fatal accident occurred at Mercersbur: While Harry Thomas, the tweive-year-old son of Mr. Martin Thomas, was engaged in cutting wood on the woodpile, his younger brother, Martin, aged five years, ran under the ax while his brother had it raised to make a stroke, and the ax struck Martin across the top of the head, splitting it open, and causing instant death. Greencastle people are much worked up over the mysterious disappearance of Mrs. c. W. Sanders and Miss Hager, two young ladies of that town. No reason has been given for their absence from their usual residences, and consequently gossip is rife. John L. McAtee, appointed on Monday by President Cleveland to be associate jus- tice of the supreme court of the territory of Oklahoma, is a native of Hagerstown, where he practiced law for a number cf years. _- — The Revenue Marine Service.

LAST NIGHT’S BANQUET ae CHICAGO, Feb. 15.—The annual meeting of the Associated Press was held at the Au- ditorlum Recital Hall yesterday. The occa- sion was notable in this,that it served to call together for the first time in the American newspaper history a representative of near- ly every leading newspaper in the United States in the national assembly. At the pre- ceding meeting of the Associated Press in October, 1893, the decision was reached to make the organization national in its scope, obliterating sectional lines. As a conse- quence of the accession of the leading news- Papers of the east, which had formerly been allied with the New York Associated Press, or with -he United Press, and which had severed their relations with those or- Sanizations to join the Associated Press, the session yesterday became entirely na- tional in its scope. The following newspapers were repre- sented: San Francisco Chronicle, Denver | Republican, Denver Times, Denver Rocky Mountain News, Washingtcn Evening Star, Chicago Daily News, Chicago Evening Jour- nal, Chicago Staatz Zeitung, Chicago Freie Presse, Chicago Record, Chicago Daily Tribune, Chicago Herald, Chicago Inter- Ocean, Chicago Evening Post, Evansville Daily Jourfial, Indianapolis Journal, Indian- apolis News, Indianapolis Sentinel, Terre | Haute Gazette, Terre Haute Express,Topeka Capital, Topeka State Journal, Louisville | Evening Post, Louisville Commercial, Louis- ville Courier-Journal, Baltimore American, | Baltimore Evening News, Baltimore Sun, Boston Traveler, Springfield Union, Detroit Evening News, Detroit Free Press, Detroit Tribune, Minneapolis Journal, Minneapolis Tribune, St. Paul Dispatch, St. Paul Globe, St. Paui Pioneer Press, Kansas City Jour- nal, Kansas City Times, St. Louis America, St. Louis Anzeiger des Westens, St. Louis Westliche Post, St. Louis Globe Democrat, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Omaha __ Bee, Concord’ Monitor, Brooklyn Daily gle, Buffalo Commercial, Buffalo Evening News, Buffalo Express, New York World, New York Evening Post, New York Staats Zei- tung, New_York Commercial Advertiser, Rochester Post-Express, Syracuse Herald, Cleveland Leader, Cleveland Plain-Dealer, Cincinnati Volksblatt, Cincinnati Commer- cial Gazette, Cincinnati Times-Star, Cincin- | nati Enquirer, Columbus (Ohio) State Jour- nal, Columbus Evening Despatch, Dayton (Ohio) Journal, Sandusky Register, Toledo Blade, Toledo Commercial, Portland (Ore.)

The President's Address. President William Penn Nixon called the meeting to order and, in a short address, congratulated the members upon the great progress which has been made in carrying | out the purpose to make the association, to widen its scope, and it was today the great- | est news organization in the world. Mr. Victor Lawson, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee, submitted a report, de- tailing at length the negotiations which Lad proceeded with the United Press, looking to a protection of the interests of the news- | papers of the country by a peaceful adjust- ment of the contest between the two our- | ganizations, the rejection of all fair pro- posals by the United Press, and the precipi- tation of the struggle that has been gving on for the past tive months, and which was | practically brought ‘to a close at this time, | as was fully evidenced from the fact of the | presence of almost all of the daily papers | of the country. A series of amendments to the by-laws were submitted and, after discussion, adopt- ed. These provided for an increase in the number of the board of directors. A committee, with Mr. Charlies P. Taft of | Cincinnati as chairman, was appoiated, } and submitted a list of five directors to be j Voted upon to fill vacancies and expired terms. The gentlemen recommended were | elected unanimously.

Stone submitted a satis- | factory statement of the finances of the | organization. Although it was deemed un- | necessary for-the purposes of the contest, | a@ number of gentlemen who were not pres- ent at the former meeting when $320,000 was subscribed to a guarantee fund to carry on the fight asked to be included in the list, and the following subscriptions were made, bringing the guarantee fund up to a | total of $515,00 New Worid.....

Opposite the eastern terminus of this centerpiece was the head of the table, so far as it had any head, and at this point was ensconced Mr. William Penn Nixon of the Chicago Inter- Ocean, the presiding officer of the entertain- ment. Then followed the passing of the loving cup, after which General Maneger Stone proposed the health of James Elver- son, jr, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, in these word: “There is one friend of the Associated Press, one who is very hear and very dear to all, who is lying sick at the Auditorium Hotel tonight. He would have been here had it been possible. I ask this company to join me in one round to the health of Jimmie Elverson, the brave manager of the Philadelphia Inquirer. (Cheers.) When the threat came to him one night that he would be cut off from a certain New York paper if he dared to go to the Associated Press, on the following morning he printed at the head of his editorial page, ‘This paper is a member of the Associated Press.’ * This evidence of loyalty to the organiza- tion was received with hearty cheers by the company. The Foreign Service. About the time the omelet soufflee was under discussion, the Imperial Quartet p- peared and entertained their company with the “Bo’sun,” and in response to an encore, favored the banqueters with “The Darkies in the Cornfield.” During the progress of the banquet the proceedings were enlivened by classic music rendered by the Tomase Mandolin Crchestra. ‘When the bountiful feast had been fully disposed of, President Nixon rapped for order, and announced that the intellectual end of the banquet had ar- rived. Frederick Driscoll of the Pioneer Press at St. Paul presented a resolution, which was unanimously adopted. He said: “Nearly one year ago, after the Associated Press held its annual meeting on the ist of March, during the dark days when we did not know what the future was tu develop, the board of directors of this association elected a general manager, and among the first instructions he received was to take a trip to Europe. The executive committee not long before that had been to New York, and felt the cut of the lash when we were ordered to pay over $4,000, one thousand miles from our trezsurer’s office, within one hour and a half, or have the dispatches cut off from all of the papers of the west and south. We then made a high resolve: That as scon as it was in our power, we would never allow the papers of the west and south, or any other part of the country, to be under the power of one man in that re- gard. (Applause. Cries of hear, hear). “The vice president, then, of the United Press immediately went to Europe, after | serving us with this treatment that I have | recorded, but like a great many other astute men, he did not proceed directly to do the business which he intended to lo wnen he went over there; he took a pleasure trip to Nice. We sentour manager direct to Lon- don. He went'to London, and he made a contract or an agreement with Herbert B. Reuter on behalf of the English Company, the French News Company and the German News Company. As Herbert B. Reuter kept his word and exevuted the contract with our general manager, we established the key- stone of our independent news service be- fore Mr, Lafflan arrived in London. (Ap- plause). “I therefore move that greetings be sent; that the president be directed to send the greetings of one hundred members of the | Associated Press :n banquet hall assembled, | to Herbert B. Reuter in London with our compliments.” (Applause). After Mr. Driscoll had concluded his re- marks, Gen. Felix Agnus of the Baltimore American arose, and said: “Mr. Chairman—It seems to me that the number {is too small—one hundred. I am satisfied we have at least a thousand members of the Associated Press (applause), and I second the motion, if somebody will second my ameadment.” (Laughter). The motion was put by the president, and unanimously carried. The Imperial Quartet then entertained the company with “Never Take the Horseshoe From the Door” and “Alabama,” which was poh Pr pron agers e following cable messages were sent from the banquet hall: ae vgs To Herbert B.

Fifty Lashes on the Bare Back of the Criminal in the Creek Nation. Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Star. ARKANSAS CITY, Kan., Feb. 15.—Col. J. F. Miller of South McAlaster, in the Creek nation, who has arrived here, gives the particulars of the punishment inflicted upon a member of that tribe for horse stealing. He was stripped to the waist and given fifty lashes on the bare back. This is the legal punishment prescribed by the laws of that nation for the first violation of the law against larceny. The ; Punishment for the second offense is 100 lashes, while for the third offense the crim- iral is shot. ‘The laws of the Creek nation, one of the five civilized tribes of the territory, are made by two legislative bodies, called the house of kings and the house of warriors, relatively similar to the Senate and House of Representatives in the United States. But at this point the similarity ceases, as the Creeks have no judicial branch of their gcvernment. The same men who make their laws also sit in judgment on those charged with violating ‘those laws. In the matter of larceny, they make no distinction between the various degrees of crime, but mete out tue same punish- ment to the buck who steals a dime to gamble away at a game of poker, as to the one who steals a herd of ponies. The member of that tribe who !s convicted of stealing a small sum of money for the third time is given the death penalty, while one who commits his first offense of horse stealing receives only his fifty lashes. —_——~ The Nquor law committee of the Massa- chusetts legislature Tuesday gave a heur- ing on the bill to prevent treating. Repre- sentative Day, author of the bill, proposed that bars be so built that only one person can stand before them at a time. A. To cure backache use Salvation Ul, 25c.

REBELLION IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL Revolt Reported of Another State. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS Special Rio de Janeiro dispatch, copyrighted, 1894, by the Associated Press. RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 15.—Senhor Gal- vao, minister of war, has resigned owing to disagreements with President Peixoto re- garding the treatment of political prisoners. Col. Macedo, commander of the Fort of Santa Cruz, has been arrested upon sus- Picion of being a spy of Admiral de Mello. The rebels appear to be making headway in Parana, which state is said to be in the hands of the insurgents. Sao Paulo, capital of the state of that name, upon which city the rebels were re- cently reported to be marching after hav- ing made a landing to the south of Santos, is said to be disposed to join issue with the insurgent forces. The government, fearing for the safety of Sao Paulo and also for the | safety of the important port of Santos, which, together with Rio de Janeiro, would be threatened if the rebels were successful in obtaining posession of Sao Paulo, has re- placed the regiments in garrison at Sao Paulo and Santos with troops from this city and other places, selecting regiments ao loyalty the government feels certain of. : Reports Sao Paulo, received here, say that the southern force which landed with the imtention of marching on Sao Paulo has) suddenly been instructed to march ty upon Rio de Janeiro, with the intention,of taking President Peixoto in the rear, The government has sent troops to meet the rebel army, and a battle is said | to be imi t on the frontiers of warana j and Sao 9. Rumofed Revolt of a State. In additioh, dispatches received here say that the state of Alagoas has revolted aud declared itself in favor of the insurgent cause. A severe conflict is said to have | taken place between the inhabitants of that | State and the government troops, during | which a number were killed and wounded | on both sides. The government troops are | reported to have been defeated and the lexd- | ers of the revolted citizens are said to be masters of the situation. It is now stated that the situation in Ala- goas is so serious that all the banks and business houses have been closed and that there is a possibility of a revolt in the state of Pernambuco, and that the forces mus- tered by the insurgent leaders in both these states may be called upon to send detach- ments to the south in order to take part in the movement of the southern army of rebels upon Rio de Janeiro. The whereabouts of Admiral de Mello con- jtinues to be somewhat of a mystery.

Later dispatches received from Sao Paulo | Say that the situation of affairs is more se- | rious than the government is willing to ad- | mit, and it is rumored that foreign capita! and the foreign newspapers have been ac- j tively engaged in stirring up feeling against the government. President Peixoto is said to be in pos- | session of information which leaves no room for doubt that the influence of for- eigners is being strongly used in the inter- ests of the insurgents, The government, after repeated warn- ings, has beer compelled to suppress all | the foreign newspapers published at Sao} | Paulo, and in addition has arrested the| manager of a German newspaper. It is said that the foreign element at Sao Paulo fs indignant at the action taken by the’ forai authorities and that an appeal has been made to the German minister and, to. the, cgmmander of the German war- ships in these waters, Adi 1 Melo’s Health, Admiral Mello, it is said, has so far re- covered his health as to be able to resume aciive command of the Republica and to be | taking steps to attack Santos so soon as Possible. The port of Santos ts said to be thoroughly protected from attack by sub-| marine mines and torpedoes, which nave | been sunk in all the channels ana whicn | are cortrolled from the shore by the gov- ernment officers, and it is asserted that un- less traitors e to the assistance of tne | rebel admiral that there is Ittle or no! chance of hig being able to inflict any seri-| ous damage upon the city, much less to capture it. So far as the coming election 1s concernea there is little or nothing to be said, except that the constitutional, or government can- didate, 1s said here to be the favorite. ‘ne government candidate, Senhor Prudent Moraes, is said to be actively at work and to be gaining supporters every day. THE WAR ON THE PEERS, LONDON, Feb. 15.—The Daily News says: It is the impression on both sides of the house of commons that the lords will not Proceed to extremes. Lord Salisbury’s dis- sident Hberal allies do not conceal the ap- prehension with which they view the ef- fect of the possible loss of the parish coun- ceils bill on their electoral prospects.

PARIS, Feb. 15.-—-Henry, the anarchist, who on Monday” last threw a bomb into the cafe beneath the Hotel Terminus, this city, has confessed to the police that he has been in communication with Paul Reclus, the young civil engineer, nephew of the | distinguished French geographical writer and the friend of Vaillant, the recently —— anarchist. ‘he supposed mother of.Henry kee; inn at the hamlet of Brevannes, near ville: neuvo. The police searched her residence yesterday with no result.. The woman ie clares that she is not Henry’s mother and that her only children are two boys, aged twelve and fourteen respectively, The police place no faith in the woman's denial and are still of the opinion that she is Henry’s mother. An Anarchist Coming This Way. BERLIN, Feb. 15.—Wilhelm Werner, lead- er of the Berlin anarchists, after being sen- tenced to six months’ imprisonment, has succeeded in escaping to Holland and is said to have the intention of proceeding to the United States. It is asserted here that the flight of Werner completes the breaking up of the anarchist organization in Ger- many. The Brunswick Succession. BERLIN, Feb. 15.—Inguiry in this city shows that there is no truth in the newspa- per reports which have been circulated re- cently saying that an agreement had been arrived at between Emperor William and we Duke of Cumberland regarding the Brunswick succession. The Associated Press correspondent has been assured upon good authority that nothing has happened to warrant such a report. The Vatican Declines. LONDON, Feb. 15.—A dispatch to the Chronicle from Rome says: The Vatican has declined to adopt the suggestion that it use its influence upon the German cen- trists in the vote on the adoption of the treaty of commerce between Russia and Germany.

Little Probability of Material Changes at the Present Session. There is little probability of material changes in the immigration laws at the present session of Congress, owing to the policy of the House committee on immigra- tion toward resisting changes, in order that the present system may be fully tested. Mr. Geissenhainer of New Jersey, chair- man of the House committee, said on the subject: “fhe present immigration laws should be given a full and fair trial before we begin patching them. They are working most satisfactorily and are accomplishing the desirable end of keeping out undesirable immigrants and increasing the number of desirable immigrants. This was exactly the end we sought to obtain by an immi- gration law, and it is desirable to let weil enough alone.” There is pending before the immigration committee a bill introduced by Mr. Walker (Mass.) to limit immigration to such per- sons who can speak the English lancuage or can read or write some other language. Concerning the proposition in this bill Mr. Getssenhainer said: “It inclines wo much toward an educa- tional qualification. That may be a thing of the future when our intelligence admits of aa educational qualification. But it has recently been shown that 47 per cent of il- literacy existed In a single state. Until this is overcome we are hardly in a position n educational qualification at our borders. Mr. Geissenhainer was asked as to the bill of Representative W. A. Stone of Penn- sylvania, favorably reported from the ju- ciciary committee, which removes the im- migration inspection to foreign ports and requires U. S. consuls toe furnish certifi- cates of inspection to immigrants. “That bill went to the judiciary committee by inadvertence,” said he, “but when it is heard by the House we will probably op- pose it on the ground that the present sys- tem is working satisfactorily and should be given a full trial. Moreover, the propost- tion of putting this additional work on con- suls without allowing them additional com- pensation is impracticable. I hare come in contact with a number of our consuls at their foreign stations and have observed that they have enough to do to keep them well employed. “This and other propositions will be re- sisted,” concluded Mr. Geissenhainer, “be- cause the committee is working on the pol- icy that the present laws are entirely sat- May Go. The term of Commodore N. H. Farquhar as chief of the bureau of yards and Jocks, Navy Department, will expire on the 6th proximo, and it is understood that he will be ordered to the command of the training ship Franklin, stationed at Newport, and also placed in command of the training station at that city, relieving Capt. F. M. Bunce of those duties. This report is based on a belief that Commodore Far- quhar does not desire or expect a reappoint- ment as chief of the naval bureau.- As al- | ready stated in The Star, the corps of civil engineers in the navy have appealed to the President to have one of their number appointed to the prospective vacancy, "at _ In order to expedite the unlading of ocean | stegmships, it has been decided to permit | the discharge of their cargo at the time the captain initials the entry of his vessel by delivering his manifest to the boarding officer, instead of delaying the discharge until the captain has made regular entry at the custom house, as required under the present system. aval Orders.
