At a joint meeting of the Anthropological Society of Washington and the Women's Anthropological Society, held last night at the Cosmos Club, Miss Jane Meade Welch | delivered an instructive and interesting lec- | ture on “Early Americans Miss Welch,who has been heard in Wash- ington during the past week on various historical subjects, and who is well known to the scientific circles here, where she is staying under the patronage of Mrs. Cleve- land, Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Bissell and cther ladies of prominence, is a Buffalo woman, who has spent much of her time studying the history of the American 'ndian. Prof. Otis T. Mason, with Miss Alice C. Fletcher, the president of the Women’s An- thropological Society, on his right, presid- ed, and in a few graceful and appropriate remarks presented Miss Welch. In her introduction Miss Welch pointed out the mounds of Ohio, the ruins of Yuca- tan and various other relics of ancient art, as indicative of a prehistoric race in America, worthy of study and perpetua- tion in history. She first treated of the Esquimaux, the “Phoenicians of the north,” whom she call- ed the “connecting links between the cld and the new worlds,” being related to the former in language and to the latter in habits and mode of life. ‘The Indians of the Sacramento valley and Puget sound, and that region south of the Esquimaux, she said, constituted what was | known as the “region of savagery,” their wigwams being of the crudest, roughest workmanship, and their temperaments of an uneasy, prowling nature, while the in- habitants of the territory between the Mis- sissippi and the Pacific, adjacent to them, were much more skillful in their modes of architecture. The Huron-Iroquvis were th ablest warriors among the trives. They lived in “long houses,” which ‘vere divided into stalls and occupied by many familtes. The Indians of the tablelanJs of New Mexico were described as being in still a greater state of advancement, while those of Yucatan, she sald, were the most highly cultured of them all, having a pho- netic alphabet of twenty-seven signs. The South American Indian had not as yet been thoroughly studied, and admitted of little description. arious Stages. Miss Welch then went on to describe the many different clues which had been given to the existence of the habitations of the mound builders before they were investi- gated, and stated that every scientist now had little doubt as to their being the pro- ductions of American Indians. She then classified the Indians into two stages, that of savagery and that of bar- barism, each of which she subdivided into a lower, middle and upper class. From the lower stage of savagery, when language was unknown, and when the tribes lived on fruits and nuts, the Indian passed into the middle stage, after he had learned to fish and to build a fire to cook his food. While in the upper stage of savagery, she ex- plained, he learned to make his weapons and to hunt the animals of the land, pass- ing into the lower stage of barbarism when the manufacture of pottery had been sc- quired ard agriculture was in its earliest development. When brick and stone became the ma- terials for building, and tillage with irriga- tion was in vogue, the middle stage of barbarism was reached, but the upper stage, bordering on civilization, seemed to be the limit of development. Miss Welch then expressed her opinion that the redskins are indigenous to Ameri- although many anthropologists believe them to be Scandinaviens, Asiaties, the de- posed Trojans, and from many other ra- tions. She gave her reasons, also, for be- leving that America had been long inhabit- ed, back into the ages of infinity, with the cther countries of the world. In conclusion, Miss Welch expressed her sreat satisfaction that, if history should re- peat itself, and if America should go back into a stateof barbarism, or evea savagery, our age will have seen the highest notch io which our country has been raised. _ STUDENTS AT WORK. Seme Notes From Local Colleges and Their Toilers. Like its predecessor, the third joint de- bate between the debating societies of Co- lumbian and Georgetown Universities 1s exciting a high degree of interest among the students of the respective schools. ‘The two defeats which Columbian has re- ceived have served but the more to spur on its representatives to ircreased e'forts, On the other hand, Georgetown is ex- tremely desirous of retaining the position achieved by reason of the former victori and it is quite certain that the comi test will be the most clos the series. It will be held on the evening of the 9th of April, and the subject will be, “Resolved, That the United States Government Should Annex Hawaii,” a topic the discussion of which will doubtless prove a most inter- esting one. The senior class at Columbian has com- menced active preparations for the com- mencement in June.

Violations of Law at Troy to Be Prose- cuted. Gov. Flower of New York has been in- formed that the gentlemen suggested by him to act as special counsel in the prose- cution of the election crimes committed In Troy last week were not entirely satis- factory to the committee of citizens. He thereupon summoned Assistant Attorney Fagan before him and told him that he should depend upon him to make a vigor- ous and thorough prosecution of all these violations of the law. Mr. Fagan requested the governor's permission to associate with him in the cases Messrs. Frank S. Black and Seymour Van Santvoord. The governor acquiesced in this suggestion. M:. Frank S. Black is one of the most prominent republican lawyers in Troy. He is now counsel for the senate committee which is investigating election frauds in that locality. Mr. Van Santvoord was one of the counsel previously suggested by the governor. Mz. Fagan said: “I was summoned for a conference with Governor Flower with re- gard to election crimes committed on last Tuesday, and after a long consultation I was intrusted with full charge of the prose- cution of these crimes, and urged to use every effort to bring the guilty parties to justice. The governor insisted that I should have full charge of these matters, and sald he should render me all assistance possible. I accepted the responsibility, and in the furtherance of justice, and for the purpose of giving all parties satisfaction, I will request Frank S. Black and Seymour Van Santvoord to begin tmmediately and co-operate with me in all matters con- nected with the prosecution of these cases. It is necessary that the work should be done auickly and fearlessly, and nothing left undone to punish all who are in any way criminally responsible for the commission of the grave crimes.” Mr. Fagan was graduated at Williams College in 1882 with high honors, being Salutatorian of his class. ——+o.__ AMUSEMENTS, The Peerless Patti—There were probably between four and five thousand People at Convention Hall last night, and they all went to hear Patti sing. There were some who had heard her on every occasion pos- sible since she first electrified the musical world when she made her debut as a slip of a girl in 1858, and they listened to her marvelously rich and pure voice and her perfect method with as much pleasure as if they heard her for the first time. The most of the audience, however, had never heard Pattt, and their loud and enthusiastic applause proved their satisfaction at the work of the woman who has had two con- tinents at her feet for over a quarter of a century. Time has dealt very gently with this great singer, and her voice is still su- perior in quality of tone and capability of execution to any now before the public. This was demonstrated in the “Bel Raggio” from “Semiramide,” which Patti sang last night with as much brillianey as ever, and which roused the audience to positive en- thusiasm, For an encore she gave George Fox's “My Darling” in an exquisite manner, and in this the purity of her voice was fully shown, as was the case in her singing of the “Last Rose of Summer” in the act from “Martha,” which formed the second part of the program. Patti's company was the same that was with her at her concert at Albaugh’s during the winter. Last night's concert was probably the real farewell to Washington of the great diva, byt if in a couple of years she should re- turn to America she would find crowds to greet her and welcome her return. Rhea as Josephine.—Rhea appeared lust night at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House to an appreciative audience. This actress fills a niche in the popular estimatiofi which no one else has succeeded in approaching. Her themes are not always cheerful, but there are those among the patrons of the theater who are most delighted when the: weep. The play last night was josephine, Em- press of the French.” It is one of the most impressive performances that s offered. It has d ost to the point of ponderous a: e is a beauty in the lines and a poetry entiment that appeals strongly to the popular heart. As Josephine Rhea is delicate and yet power- ful. ‘The character gives a picture of grace- ful symmetrical womanhood. As portrayed by this actress it has a sympathetic power, which is bound to give it a lasting place in the memories of all who have had the for- tune to see it under the favorable conditions which surround its production The company is an exceptionally satisfac- tory one. “Sinbad.” night “Sin’ with trappings, shapely t Albaugh’s next Monday its color, gorgeous forms, current wit, fin de siecle songs and dainty dances, will hold forth.

Gen, Gordon's Lecture.—On Monday night next Gen. John B. Gordon will repeat his lecture on “The Last Days of the Confeder- acy” at Metzerott’s Hall, This is done in response to the request of a number of prominent gentlemen and of organized bod- jes of survivors of the late war who served on both sides of the line. who were in the confederate army at the close of the long struggle in 1865, and the story is told with all the eloquence of which Gen. Gordon is master, and is made more effective from the fact that he was a _per- sonal participant in the Scenes and inci tents of which he speaks. When the lecture was first delivered in this city the audience filled the big Convention Hall, and it is expected that Metzerott’s Hall will be crowded rext Monday night.

Delegate Joseph of New Mexico will en- deavor to rally his forces on Monday next to pass the long-deferred bill admitting New Mexico to statehood. He expects to secure the recognition of Speaker Crisp at that time and is confident of passiag the bill if @ quorum can be secured. It 1s anticipazed that party lines may be sharply drawn on the admission of the new state, and the re- publicans expect to raise the point of no quorum as a means of deferriag the pres age of the measure.

Remarking upon his decision to retire from the Senate at the close of his term on the 4th of March next, Senator Coke says that it was not a sudden determination on his part, but that he had contemplated re- tirement at the close of his present term ever since his last election. His reason for it is that he has been in public life’ for many years, and that he feels that Me can spend | the remainder of his life more pleasantly and more profitably at his home in Texas than in Washington. He is also influenced by considerations as to the health of his) wife, which is such that she cannot remain in Washington, ——— + © Patents Issa: Patents were issued to Marylanders vester- day as follows: William J.

England's Great Enemy. From the Fortnightly Review. The one formidable enemy of Great Brit- ain is Russia. The recognition of this ob- vious truth does not of itself involve any censure. It is the rusult of a natural law which has been repeatedly 4nd emphati- cally recognized by the governments India and of Rvssia, as well as by our military and naval departments. To fancy that the two empires can thrive an} Je- velop in concord and amity is to trust that S ap) as insatiable as Erysichthon’s hunger tor food. Even Russia's radical friends in Eng’ candidly edmit that it is hopeless to al tempt to induce her to content herself with her present frontiers in the east. And for the best of possible reasons. Conscious of her civilizing mission, she has cast her bread upon the waters and is determined to find it after not too many days. During the past forty years she has annexed 140,- 240,000 inhabitants— a barren conquest, which in ten years (from 1858 to IS7s) resulted in a deficit of a0 § »,000 rubles.

Dr. Nettleton, a dentist in Derby, and an | intimate friend of the family, nearing of | the affair, drove over to Mr. Piait's, taking his dog with him. While in the house, at ¥ o'clock in the evening, the dog suddeniy | became uneasy, and Dr.’ Nettleton let him out, ordering him to “Find her.” The dog sprang for the front gate, and just outsive | gave a yelp. At thé same time a scream | was heard; the family ran out and found the girl in/a faint on the ground. She was removed to the house and ef- forts wel made to revive her. The; } 1 Soreness FINANCIAL.

Dr. Christian signified his readi- ress to start at any moment, but as yet he| has not been asked to leave. = +2 —_______ The Kearsarge Records. The record of the court of inquiry in the case of the poor old Keacsarge is now before the Navy Department for action. Lieutenant Commander J. D. J, Kelly, re- corder of the court, brought it to Wash- ington today and pla@ed jt in the bands of Secreta Herbert. The latter referred it to Captain Lemly, judge advocate general of the navy,for review. The impres- sion in naval circles is that the only officers at all likely to be affected by the investigation are Commander Heyerman, the commander, and Lieutenant Lyman, the navigating officer.
