The people who were the most interested in making the arrangements for the Moody meetings, and who have been active in as- sisting the great revivalist, express great satisfaction with what has been accom- Plished. The results, they say, cannot be tabulated in mere figures, for the influence of such a series of meetings, stretching over a period of a month, beyond the range of the mere statistician. This is the opinion of Rev. Dr. William A. Bartlett,the pastor of the New York Avenue Church, guaranteed, who, In conversation this morning with a At $6 per 1,000.

But he was confident that the seed that had been sown would bring forth fruit, and that the process of gathering in, which would be assisted by the special meet- ings which will be held in the different churches during the next few weeks, will add strength to the churches of this city.

DRAPTING THE SPEECH OF THE QUEEN Interest in the Irish Policy of the Government. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS LONDON, March 8.—A bulletin issued by the physicians in attendance upon Mr. Glad- Stone this morning announced that the distinguished statesman had improved in health. Mr. Gladstone's temperature was said to be 99 and there was no increase in the bronchial catarrh and his ccugh was quieter. The first cabinet council under the presi- dency of Lord Rosebery was held at noon. The ministers were mainly occupied with drafting the queen's sp2ech, which is to be delivered upon the approaching opening of parliament. This specch, it is sald, will be a most important document, aa it will practically open a vew chapter im the his- tory of the united kingdom. Considerable interest is manifested in the coming speech not only among the liberals, conservatives and other parties represented in parliament, but among the queeu’s sub- jects at large. Opportunity of the Irish. Het majesty’s Irish subjects are probably more deeply interested in the drafting of this speech than any other class cf sub- jects of the British crown. It is unfortu- nate at this critical period in history that there should be dissensions in the Irish parliamentary ranks, as even the conserva- tives admit that the constant and admira- bly conducted warfare waged by the repre- sentatives of the lrish people in parliament has finally resulted in practically convinc- ing the tories that Ireland must have hcme rule in some shape or form. So long us the Irish demands are refused, British legis- lation can ;only. bea tedious and unsetis- factory process,and the irish parliamentary party, acting together, now hag it in its power to overturn Lord Rosebery’s gcvern- ment unless the new premier has succeed- ed in making a deal with the unionists, which would amount to completely dropping the home rule question. This, it is thought, is not likely to be possible, and thus it is that the Irish now have the best of all opportunities of asserting their strength and winning the measure of self govern- ment which all liberal minged men admit they are justly entitled to. Consequently it is hoped that wise counsels will prevail and that personal animosities and_ personal jealousies will be promptly smothered and that Ireland's representatives will act as a unit when victory is almost within their grasp. Dissensions Among the McCarthyites. There is continued dissension in the ranks of the McCerthyites, and the Healyites have decided that unless Lord Rosebery is prepared to give the most explicit assurance in regard to home rule and the evicted ten- ants measures that the Healyites, who are said to number twenty-six, will divide against the government. It is reported that if the Dillonites show any inclination to carry matters with a high hand, at the coming meeting of the party, Messrs. Healy and Arthur O'Conaor will refuse to serve any longer on the com- mittee. In that event, it is added, Messrs. Esmond and O Driscoll will resign the du- ties of whips, and important changes in the committee are predicted. It is said that Mr. Michael Davitt will again be a candidate for election to the house of commons. McCarthy's Interview With Gladstone. The Daily News describes Mr. Justin Me- Carthy’s interview with Mr. Gladstone on March 5. It says: Mr. Gladstone deprecated the idea that he should be presented with van address, a dinner or any othe> mark of gratitude on the part of the Irish members. He appeared to be in happy spirits in his conference with Mr. McCarthy and made varied references to the Irish question, with anecdote and reminiscence. He spoke of O'Connell and said that he possessed an intellect superb and statesmanlike. He said that although his comments on the union- ist transactions had been considered too strong he was unable to withdraw them. He said nothing definite about the crisis, but he clearly indicated that he expected an unbroken line of policy. He would not have remained in office so long but for the interest he took in Ireland. The Times editorially says:If it is true that Mr. Herbert Gladstone has been chosen to be Gerdner’s successor as president of the board of agriculture there might he more than a ripple of indignation, considering the fact that British husbandry is passing through the most painful experience it has ever known. Discussing the chances for home rule the Times says it believes that Lord Rosebery is impotent to break the Irish chain until he has reconstructed his party and its pol- fey in opposition. ADOPTED IN COMMITTEE. Progress of the Russo-German Treaty In the Reichstag. BERLIN, March 8,.—The reichstag com- mittee which has been considering the Russo-German commercial treaty passed that measure today by a vote of 16 to Emperor William has congratulated Count von Doenhoff, conservative, who has been a stanch supporter of the Russo-German commerctal treaty, upon his attitude in the reichstag in regard to that measure. The emperor sent his congratulations in a tele- graph message, which read: “Bravo! Yoy acted as a nobleman should.” Count von Doenhoff recently was quoted by the Tageblatt as having said last week, at a political meeting, that Prince Bis- marck had asserted that the rejection of war. On Tuesday last, in the reichstag, Count Herbert von Bismarck demanded of Count von Doenhoff an explanation of the | statement attributed to his father by the Tageblatt. Count von Doenhoff thereupon admitted that he based his statement en- tirely upon hearsay, and that he had not Prince Bismarck’s authority for making it. Dr. Miquel, at the banquet of the agri- cultural council, said that the lawmaking of the last thirty years was essentially in favor of trade and industry, and that the emperor desired a new era’ in which the needs of husbandry should have paramount Weight with the government in future legis- tion, ENGLAND “GOD SPEED.” Ambassador Bayard Responds to the Lord Mayor's Toast. LONDON, March 8—The lord mayor gave a banquet last evening to the masters of the city companies. The guests included United States Ambassador Bayard, Baron Halsbury and Prof. Goldwin Smith. After toasts to loyalty had been proposed the lord mayor offered a toast to Mr. Bayard, who, in responding, said that in speaking {to such an assembly it was scarcely pos- rsity, and whose | sible to say what thoughts surged through an American's heart in mixing with the race from which his own was derived. Al- though the branch was broken the root re- mained. He believed that the prosperity of England and the United States was entirely consistent. As one grew stronger other would become securer. There was nothing in British prosperity that met on earth, AG Reaction, LONDON, March 8—The Times, in a financial article, discussing the gold move- ment, says: “The world appears to be in | the first stage of reaction from the rela- tive appreciation of gold, which has been so acutely felt by traders and holders of de- preciating merchandise, and of which so much has been made by bimetallists who anxious to alter the measure of value. Last Year the tendency of gold to fall was obscured by special demands from America ralia. These things no longer ob- the position.”” Daily News says: scure The come “Silver has be- weak on the market, it having been | learned that the £100,000. worth sent here from Chile by Balmaceda, and which has been lying in the Bank of England, must be sold within a few days.” Weakness of French Coast Defenses. TOULON, March 8.—The evidence which is being furnished to the commission charged with investigating the allegations made against the French navy and coast defenses of France increases the gravity of the charges made. In substance, it was asserted that the majority of the French war vessels would be practically useless, and that the French coast was almost at the mercy of an enemy with a large fleet such as the one possessed by England. A Victim of African Fever. LONDON, March 8.—The Daily News an- nounces the death at Teneriffe of Col. A. B. Ellis, who commanded the British forces in the recent expedition against the Sofas in the interior of Sierra Leone. Col. Eilis died of fever, which he had contracted in Sierra Leone.

NEW YORK, March 8—A stubborn fire started in the four-story flat house at 62° 8th avenue at 2 o'clock this morning and before it was extinguished three other houses were damaged, one man was burned to death, several others were injured and $12,000 damage was done. No. 628 8th avenue is Harry Liski’s restaurant and at 2 o’clock a bright blaze was noticed In the rear by a young man who was passing. A policeman was found and an alarm turned in. In the meantime the blaze had gained rapid headway and the whole lower floor was in flames. The flames spread to the stairway, cutting off all escap2 for the people upstairs. ‘Wm. Schneewels lives on the first floor and had a rope fire escape, down which he and several other tenants in the block escaped. Mrs. Heatherton, a woman sixty-eight years old, started down the rope, but lost her grip and fell, breaking her ankle. The fire spread to the adjoining “houses in Sth avenue, Nos. @28 and 630, then to a stable in the rear, Nos. 269 and 271 West 40th street. Patrick Ford, an expressman, lived on the second floor and had his six horses in the stable, all of which were saved. Michael McCutcheon, a butcher, twenty- one years old, who occupied a hall room on the second floor, was found burned to a crisp. It is thought he was overcome by the smoke before he could reach the hall. Willie, a seventeen-year-old boy who work- ed for Liski, also is missing, but it is not believed he was burned. eatin SES MRS. WHIT HEARD FROM. On a “Flight,” but Did Not Desert Her Baby. A cable from Nice yesterday, recetved at New York, sald that Mrs Whitney had written to the howl proprietor tha: had lost her moncy at Mente Car that she would return for the child when she got more moacy. n AS was printed The Star a few aays ago, Mrs. Caroline w ved at the Hotel du Heldar, Nice on December 12, and engaged Pa.iie bayard as a nye? for her three-yea ing at the hotel Whitney left, saying she was g 1 Genoa to get some jaoney and would re- turn, She has not been see? s:nce, to prevent the child helng piaced in the charge of the French police, the nurse asked Consul Wilburn B. Hall te discover the American relatives of the child and mother. While the matter was turned cver to the attention of the New York police no infor- mation as to either the mother or the father—said to be Charles ©. Whitney— could be discovered. Neither was there any success in the search for the grandfather, who was said to be Mr. Witham of Call- fornia. Yesterday, however, a young man appeared in the mayor’ his mother, Mrs. Olwelda Cumtnings, of No. 42 West ith street, knew ali about the baby in question, and would gladly adcpt her if possible. Mrs, Cummings herself last evening toid the story of the life of vicissitules which little Marguerite Whitney has enjoyed since her birth, on April 28, 1891. “Mrs. Whitney was married when she Was sixteen,” she said, house in California. He fs a rich ranch- man, but, owing to some peculiar state of for ¢ and in order affairs between himself and his wife, Mrs. | Witham felt it would be advisable for her daughter to marry. Her Husband Insane. “It was she who arranged the match be- tween her young daughter and Mr. Whit- ney, who is fifty-five years oll now or more. “The life that Mr. Whitney had led since he made money began to seriously tell upon him. Finally he lost his mind froin drink, and early in 1891, only a few months be- fore the baby was born, he was placed in an insane asylum near Berlin. the doctors say, he will never come out alive, his case being absolutely hopeless. ‘Mrs. Whitney left him there, his affairs being so arranged that she had an allow- ance from his property, live with me. “She was a pretty creature, very blonde, with blue eyes and a round, full, babyish face. But she loved ‘champagne. She did not deny that she loved it, und was unable | to keep away from it, but she said that} her husband had taught her. “She loved the baby, who was her per- fect image, but she had absolutely no sense | about it. She would dress it forty times a day in the finest clothing she could buy for it, and would pull it out of bed at 2 o'clock in the morning for fear something was perhaps the matter with it—it was sleeping so quietly. Not Actually Deserted. “I had to tell her finally that she must go away, but that I would keep the baby. I was running a boarding house at that time, and my house was full of club men and such. I could not keep a woman who drank as much as she did and acted so gay and careless. And yet I loved her. “I kept the baby for a year, nearly. There are the first slippers little Marguerite ever had hanging there on the wall. The mother came in to see her once in jut so often, though I never knew when would be. “Then she took it away +nd I heard no more of her except to know chat she was going the same old pace and under a differ- ent name right here in New York and in Boston. “She has gone on one of her pertodical “flights,” or whatever you wish t» call them, but she has not deserted the baby. “Now I will tell you why I am sure, In the first place, stie loves it, after her fash- ion, dearly. In the second place, that baby means a lot of money to her, and she is not a fool. In the third pla’ if she had wanted to give the baby away she would have given it to me, for I begged her to do ‘so before she took it away.” —-—__-+0- THE COURTS.

Bishop Hurst, tp introducing Mr. Fred- erick Douglass, said that there is a resem- blance between Mr. Douglass and himselt, and that is they both came from Maryland, both from the eastern shore and from ad- joining counties—Mr. Douglass from Tal- dott and the bishop from Porchester—and, further, that they both left the eastern visit shore. “I invited Mr. Douglass to this conference,” continued the “and I will ask him to address u: bishop’s remarks were received with ap- plause. Mr. Douglass arose and was heartily wel- comed. He said that, receiving such an in- vitation, coming from such an cminent source, he had gladly accepted, but would say he was coming anyhow. He said th in 1830 ‘he entered into membership with this part of Zion. He eloquently referred to the ministry of Lewis G. Wells, Jos. Wilsou_ and Cato Blake and his attendance upon Sharp Street Church, Baltimore, Md. He referred to old Dallas Street Chur Baltimore, Md., where he was connected. He stated that he had “bought the earth” on which this old church had stood. He revered it. Speaking of the pulpit, he recognized it as one of great power, ranking among th highest. He declared that if the colored race Was ever to rise it will be through the influence of the pulpit. No Race Problem, Speaking on the race problem, Mr. Doug- lass said “there was no race problem, no negro problem, but I see a great aational problem. The nation will have to solve it. The colored man ought not to be a source of difficulty. I have been asked what shall we do with him. I say, give him fair play 1f he lives well he will die weil, There can be no trust where there is no truth. Strong as this confer- ence is it cannot stand without truth.” He xdjured his race to be upright, men devoted to the interests of their country. “The problem can be easily solved if our white fellow citizens live up to the justice of the principles they have announced. We stand,” he dramatically said, “before the country as American citizens.” He asked for justice. Speaking of the colonization solution, he said that it was no solution. It was not atonement, but banishment. It was not love, it was hate. Love brings together Hate sends us to Africa. Mr. Douglass ex- pressed himself hopeful of the future that justice and good feeling will yet prevail in the south. Bishop Hurst responded in a happy speech on behalf of the conference. He said that he was glad that Mr. Douglass referred to the coming good feeling in the south. Ey- erything would work out right and justice would be enthroned. The bishop, referring to the question of problems, said they should think less about problems and more about duty, and the sooner the problem would be solved. Committees.

Fire was discovered at about 7:25 o'clock | this morning in the third story of the build- ing No. 632 Pennsylvania avenue, occupied by N. H. Shea, wholesale grocer. The fire originated in an unknown manner in that part of the building used as a store room, and which was heavily stocked with teas, | coffees, canned and bottled goods, tubs, buckets, wrapping paper, soap and starch. The Ciscovery was made by one of the em- |ployes of the establishment and an alarm | Promptly turned in from box 124. This called out the first alarm engines, No. 2 | Teaching the scene first. The flames were ‘difficult to reach, because they were burn- |ing apparently in the center of the great | piles of barrels and boxes. The smoke was dense and access to the room from the in- | side impracticable. Ladders were run up from the alley in the rear and soon a | Stream of water was playing through the | window. Another line was run up in front, and a minute jater a third line of hose had been lifted from the sidewalk through the | window of the burning story. Cable traffic was interrupted till the hose trusses were {put up. After about forty-five minutes’ work the flames were drowned, but No. 2 engine stood by the fire for two hours, and | 4 stream of water was kept playing on the {charred heaps all day. There was a good deal of excitement on the square and a ‘general packing up. The Knights of Jeru- salem, who occupy the hall directly above the floor burned out, were on the scene. They suffered some damage by water and smoke. Slight damage of this kind was also done in the office rooms in the second story, but no harm was done on the lower floor. The loss on stock is roughly esti. mated at $12,000, and on the building at $2,000, fully covered by insurance. pr: COLUMBIA AVENUE. The Name Capt. Powe! 16th Street. The residents and property owners slong | 16th sireet are clamoring for a change in \the name of that street. Several days ago |@ monster petition was presented to the | Commissioners praying that the name of \the street be changed to Executive ave- | nue. | The papers were sent to Captain Powell, | who indorsed them as follows: | “{ do not favor changing the name of j16th street northwest to Executive ave- (nue. If this north and south street is to j be called an avenue contrary to the system of street names in Washington, Columbia avenue seems to be preferrable to Execu- | tive averue. Such former name would be after the District of Columbia and there- | fore less of an exception to the system of avenue designations. There need be no interference or confusion on account of the present name of Columbia road, which name should be changed and which’ is pro- |posed to be changed to California avenue under authority of present law. By the highway extension plan Columbia road ex- tended is prolonged to New Hampshire ave- nue of Petworth addition. The street nore nearly in proiongation of Columbia road at its western end is the present California avenue of Washington Heights. New Hamp- shire avenue of Petworth is not in jine with |New Hampshire avenue in Washington and | will have no connection with it, and there should be one name for Columbia road, Columbia road extended and New Hamp- (Shire avenue of Petworth. The names of | Washington avenue, White House ave- |nue and Park avenue have been suggested for 16th street, but it pears to me that }if any change is made Columbia avenue is about the best name. | Commissioner Ross disagrees with him and says: “I know of no reason for a change of the existing name.” ——_-_— WAITING FOR A DECISION. Suggests for Why the Work of Removing the New York Avenue Parking is Stopped. A halt has been called in the matter of removing the parking on New York ave- nue between Sth and 10th streets north- | west. It will be recalled that orders were | issued to begin this work some days ago. Proceedings were taken under the last ap- propriation act, in which it was provided | that this work should be done under the compulsory permit system, and that wherever new sidewalks or curbs are laid | upon streets being Improved one-half the cost should be assessed against the abut- ting property. | Before the “work was commenced the attorney was requested to give his opinion jas to Whether it was necessary to give notice of such improvements to property owners. In reply Attorney Thomas says: “Inasmuch as the Court of Appeals has now before it some cases involying the compulsory permit system I would suggest that this matter be deferred unfil we have the advantage of the opinion of the court in those cases, waich 1 apprehend will be handed down in the course of a week or ten days at the farthest.” —_— Old Guard Fair and Bazaar. If hard work will accomplish success then the executive committee of the Old Guard fair and bazaar has cause for congratula- tion in the ultimate success of the enter- prise which opens at the armory of the Washington Light Infantry Corps on Mon- day, March 12.
