Several weeks ago Secretary Herbert ap- pointed a board, composed of Medical Di- rector Gorgas, Passed Assistant Surgeon | Griffith and Civil Engineer Endicott, to In- vestigate the sanitary condition and gen al healthfulress of the building occupied by the State, War and Navy departments. Complaints had been made that the building was improperly ventilated and that there had been much sickness among the officials and employes In consequence. The board investigated the matter thoroughly, and has just subm: 4 its report. It found that the building {ts provided with a perfect sys: of ventilation, but that its proper operation is interfered with by a practice of piacing bookcases and desks in front of the ventil- | ators and a too infrequent opening of win- | dows. To remedy this, the board recom- | mends the removal of all obstructions to | the free action of the ventilators and that the windows of the building be opened be- fore and after office hours at frequent in- | tervals, As the windows on the east side | yunt of the dust | ‘annot be openel on ac that constantly arises from the dirt roac on that side of the building, the board makes a strong recommendation that that road be paved with asphalt, This road not only affects the health and comfort of the | es of the building, but ts seriously i the building ‘itself.

From early morning until late in the afternoon resounding knocks upon the doors evoked only hollow Citizen Redstone was nowhere morning ail was changed.

In reply to the question whether he and his | companions had yet been recruited into Mr. Coxey’s commonweal, plied ambiguously: “No, not yet. We are being excellently well treated,” he further remarked, when asked how his party was getting along. Mr. Redstone’s Interest. Citizen Redstone came in at this juncture and waved his hand proudly toward the Primrose league. “Do they look like tramps?” he tnquired, admiringly. “Is anything to be feared from men of that character’ His proprietary interest in the men was so evident that the orter reminded him that he had absolutely denied them when they were arrested on Saturday; that he had not gone near them on Sunday, when they needed succor and food, and that he was not present at their trial but bad ited until all the ex u their com- ing and its possible bad results passed by before recognizing their rigit to considera- tion. The citizen expiained that they had presented no credentials to him on Satar- Capt.

Efforts to Relieve the North Capitol Church From a Big Debt—A Charch Collection, The Methodist Alliance, or what 1s to hereafter be the Methodist Union, met last night at Wesley Chapel, corner of Sth The meeting was | and F streets northwest. an important one for several reasons. |the first place a new constitution “was | adopted and the name of the organization changed, and in the second place the even-| ing was largely given up to the consilera- tion of the condition and the future of the | North Capitol Methodist Episcopal Church, corner of North Capitol and K streets northwest. | For some time the matter of changing the name of the organization has been be- fore the members and for the past month or so has been in the hands of a committee, who looked favorabiy on the change of the | name and suggested that the members be known hereafter as the Methodist Union, | which is, they think, a more comprehen- | Slve and suitable name. The change accordingly made and a new constitution adopted, similar to the old one, however, and setting forth as the purpose of the society the advancement of Methodism in the District, and more particularly the helping of needy churches. But the chief event of importance was the ccnsideration of the condition and the action in regard to the North Capitol Church. The situation at this church has been a some- what peculiar one. It was rebuilt only a few years ago from a small frame structure to the present handsome and costly brick edifice, but in so doing a large debt was in- curred, which has been no small drag on the congregation. Under the former pastor of the church, Rev. Charles O. Cook, this debt had not been announced, and the financial difficulties of the church, although the con- gregation were bravely working to relieve them, were not, for various reasons, made public. The new pasior, Rev. Charles L. Pate, formerly of the Twelfth Street Church, however, determined on a di ‘ent course, and lest Sunday made a statement of the financial condition of the church and alled upon the people to work toward ra ug the debt. Although the exact figure could not be obtained last Sabbath on ac- count of the absence of the treasurer on business, it was stated that the church carrying a debt of between $13,000 and $15 00,” Of this amount $10,000 is a mortgage loan, and so lang as the inter is paid may be repaid as the church sees fit. There is, however, a floating indebtedness of about 0) for the church furniture and other €: penses incurred tn the occupation of the new church which must be wiped out. It was accordingly voted to take up a special coliection in ali the Methodist cherehes of the city within the next thirty days, probably on some Sunday of May, although the date has not yet been set, tor the North Capitol Chureh to relieve it ef the financial troubles which are now staring it In the face. Besides this, Mr. Pate has already begun a systematic can- Vass for mu through various means, and it is expected that the church will be the richer within the next month or so, W. F. Swartzell, the vice president lance, will act as president for a time, and the successor of Dr. Henry R. Naylor, the former chief executive, will net be elected just yet. The Methodist Union was one of the pet schemes of Dr. lor and an organization in which he s deeply interested, as well as the lead- ing worker, and it has been thought that S$ retirement might occasion some change s of the society. But not be the case, and the work will go right ahead along the oid lines and With the same enthusiasm and interest as before, —— ee SENATE FI BUSTERING, Now You Have a Quorum and Now You Have Not. There was an interesting filibuster in the Senate y erday afternoon, after Mr. Hill had finished his speech. Mr. Harris at- tempted to fill out the remainder of the af- ternoon by having the tariff bill read at length, or so much of it as there might be time for, but to this program the republi- Their position is that the bill be read as one special order, be- 2 o'clock on some day and con- at 2 until finished. The democrats are get the bill read in hopes that they mai piecemeal at the ends of several days when upy the Senate, the is n else to oc s ‘The republicans, too, are afraid that there > sume sharp practice played by their its, as in the case of the seigniorage whereby the measure may be passed to uinuing ting suddenly, “without an. of amendment or debate. Cons qventiy, there was immediate objection to the propesition of Mr, Harris, and a long debate ensued between Senators Hoar, Har- ris, Haie, Aldrich, Manderson, Butler, Gor- man and Pasco. An agreement was about to be reached between the two sides, to the et that the first formal reading of the 1 be dispensed with and that the bill be ad by sections under the amendment or- rT, wh a i ris insisted that the bill read formally, at its full length. At this eeested that the republicans d not prevent Mr. Harris from filibus- 5 against the bill if he wants to do so. At the req of Mr. Aldrich, a long quota- tion from the Congresstonal Record report of a di ssion in the Senate on July 2 iL {during the ¢ on the MeKinie: K's ds . During the | reading Mr. ested that the remainder might be printed in the Record, and pending the disposition of his sugges- ticn he moved an adjournment. This was ile 18 to SI, and the reading continued. . Aldrich, immediately after this reading ished, asked to have the debate on the tariff bill of 1883 on this same subject read, but Mr. Palmer objected, and Mr. Aldrich was about to read it himself when Mr. Hale moved for an execu- lve session, which was lost, 2 to 31, the republicans not voting.’ As there Was no quorur . a call of the Senate was ordered, showing the presence of fifty Sena- tors. The question was about to be put a ‘ond time on the motion to go into execu- , when there was a breezy col- between Senators Harris and Al- drich as to the matter of debating the ques- subject to deb: the other of v 2 to te. Each Senator accused ating the rule. This vote and a call showed the Senators. So, for the third | ume, the roll was called on Mr. Hale's mo- tion, which was again lost, 3 to 31. Imme- diately upon the conclusion of this roll call moved an adjournment, which was | was los preser ‘jost, 5 to 80, and then, at 6:13, nothing hay- |ing been accomplished, Mr. Harris gave up | | the fight for a voting quorum and moved to | adjourn, making a statement of his position. He saic “We find ourselves in a condition at this jhour of the evening where there is not a jauorum voting upon any question on which the Senate divides, but upon a call of the | Senate there are seven Senators more than |a quorum. ‘Therefore, we cannot send for |absent Senators, because a quorum is pres- jent. In view of that condition of affairs, I intend, tomorrow morning, to notify my pair that I ean stand paired no longer, un- less it is with the distinct understanding that I have a right to vote whenéver I ap- prehend there is a want of a quorum. I think the only thing left for us to do is to give notice that our pairs exist no long so that we who are here and stay here all be free to After making that state- ment as to the present condition of affairs |(@nd I hope before tomorrow night there | will be a very different condition of affairs), I move that the Senate do now adjourn, as I do not wish to vibrate between the call of the roll upon the pending question and then ; a call of the Senate which develops the presence of a quorum.” Patents on several hundred inventions ex. pired by limitation today.

The Speeches at the Mass Meeting Last Night—Fire Gleams of the Ninety-Sixth Meeting. | Enthusiastic from beginning to end. This | describes the mass meeting of the Christian Endeavor Union at the Metropolitan Pres- | byterian Church last evening. | The meeting opened wita a song rervice led by Mr. G. A.

Many favorite | Scripture texts were recited by those pres- ent and the participation in the sentence prayers was very general. A soprano solo entitled “Rock of Ages” was beautifully rendered py Mus. H. C. Browning. President McArthur then introduced Mr. | W. H. Pennell as the “First Christian Bn- | deavorer” and said that Washington glidly | Weleomed him to membership in its Union. Mr. Pennell's address was upon the topic “Beginnings of Christian Endeavor.” Fif- teen years ago, said the speaker, admis jSion to the church was only to’ be had after an examination by the leaders in the various church orgnizations. Strong op- position to the admission of young people was everywhere prevalent, with the result that those who in their youth had become | converted very often drifted away from the Influence of the church before they were old enough to be admitted. The Christian Endeavor Society was de-| signed to fill this breach. How admirably it has done so is a matter of history and) forms one of the brightest pages in the re- | ligious annals of the world. Mr. Pennell gave a most interesting de- scription of the various preliminary steps which led gradually up to the formation of the first Society of Christian Endeavor by | Dr. F. BE. Clark, in Williston Church, Port- | land, Me. He told of the first meeting In the home | of the pastor, where the constitution of the | | society was read to the young people pres- {ent and signed by them. | ‘Then Mr. Pennell traced the remarkable growth and development of the organization | and told many interesting incidents in the | early history of the society. in closing, he referred to the harmony which had always prevailed among those who had been called to be leaders in the organization, Over thirty denominations were repre- sented on the board of trustees, and though | | many struggles had been witnessed within the various denominations, no such feelirg had found its way into the Christian 1 | deavor Society, but the broad feeling of fellowship was everywhere noticeable. Washington in 706. Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin was next intro- duced. His topic was “Growth From Great Conventions,” but he rather departed from it, as he said, to speak upon the broader subject of the good which was to be de- rived from attending such a meeting as an international convention of Christian En- deavor. He spoke of how little one could com- prehend the power of such a convention from mere description. The tremendous uplift of such a mass of Christian thought, prayer and song, could not be adequately described nor be realized until experienced. Never in the history of the world had there been such a great religious convention | as that of the societies of Christian En- | |deavor in New York in 1892, and never | | Weuld there be @ greuter until the conven- tion should come to Washington in 1806. This sentence brought forth the most en- thusiastic applause, which turned to laug! hen Dr. Hamlin added, “if it does. He spoke of the marvelous exemplification of Christian unity which was to be seen at these great conventions. Denominaticnal | differences were all inid aside, and the only | divisions occurred where the Endeavorers | of each state rallied around their state banner. It was imporsible to attend such | meetings without becoming less of a sec- terian and more of a Christian. And, more- over, the conventions were of immeasurable } benefit’ in the quickening influence they exerted on individual lives. There was no place where heaven came nearer to earth and where one could come in closer con- tact with the Holy Spirit than at these great meetings. Endeavor Conventions. One verse of “Cleveland, "94," was then sung, and at its coaclusion Mr. L. A. Con- ner, jr. was introduced. His topic was “Taterrational Christian Endeavor Conven- tion at Cleveland in July, "%—Anticipa- tion.” He prefaced his remarks by ex- pressing regret that every Christian En- deavorer in the District of Columbia could not have heard the two addresses which had preceded. He said that the influence of a Christian Endeavor convention began when the train bearing the delegates to it left the station for the trip. “This year,” he said, “the trip will be even more attractive than ever before.”” He described the beautiful scenery along the route, and said that it would all be passed by daylight. He spoke of the many features of great interest in the coming convention, and urged all who could pos- sibly go todo so. At the conclusion of this address a let- ter from Miss Abby L. Griswold, corre- sponding secretary of the society which is in the District Endeavorers in eveland, was read, and received hearty applause. After the singing of the third 34," Mr. J. A. Runyan | as introduced, and spoke to the topic, | nternational Convention of Christian En- deavor at Washington in 1846—Foregleams. Mr. Runyan said that he was an optimist on the subject of Christian Endeavor, and incidentally on the securing of the great convention for Washington in 18%. “We don’t expect a defeat.” he said, “we're in | the fleld to win.” There were many “fore- gleams” of the convention here in "96. One of these was the marvelous series of meet- ings which was held recently in Conven- tion Hall. In this connection he mentioned the remarkable spirit of liberality which the press of this city had always mani- fested toward great religious enterprises, and said that this was one of the most en- couraging “foregleams” of the coming con- vention. He spoke of what an influence such a convention here in the nation’s cap- ital would exert upon the governments of the old world, since their chosen representa- tives were here stationed and would here have an opportunity to realize the mean- ing of this great movement. At the conclusion of this stirring address the scng, “Washington, 96,” was sung with great enthusiasm. Several letters commendatory of Wash- ington as the convention city for "96 were | then read. ‘The n.eeting closed with a short consecra- tion service and the Mizpah benediction. The next meeting will be held at the West Street Presbyterian Church Friday levening, April and addresses will be | delivered by Rev. J. J. Muir, Rev. F. D. Power and Mr. F. M.
