EDITORIAL VIEWS OF LONDON PAPERS Significance of Last Night's Ban- quet in London. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS LONDON, May 25.—The Daily Chronicle says of last night's banquet to the Chica- go's officers: The festival was a recognition of the feeling that the Anglo-Saxon states are one realm, not by act of parliathent, but by the act of Providence. Both peoples are irritable, but both nowadays are essen- tially non-aggressive. The feeling is that our interests go together. This is a matter | of instinct and tells us we can have no ground of quarrel which is not susceptible of friendly settlement, and the practice teaches ‘us that arbitration is better than war. We have had two lessons on this sub- ject. In one we were beaten and had to pay, of which we did with not too much grace; in the other the United States was beaten and submitted to the award with the utmost good humor. The time may not yet have come when this judicial method can, with all nations, take the place of the last argument of kings, but as between John | Bull and Brother Jonathan there ought rever to be a whisper of aught but amity. If the dream of imperial federation on the Unes of justice and equity should be realiz- ed, why should not the federation include the United States and all English-speaking | races. No Englishman regards an Ameri-| can as a foreigner. Lowell, Phelps, Lincoln | and Bayard all spoke the ‘same voice that we do and carricd the same message of | peace and good will. The former feuds be-| tween the two nations have faded Into the! depths of history, and have been succeeded | by a period of great calm. { A significant feature of the banquet was! the fact that the French naval attache, Leclerc, was on the committee. This cer- | tainly proves how deep are the sentiments | of fraternity among the three greatest na- | tions of the world, and how evanescent are the ebullitions which arise chiefly from | want of knowledge and appreciation of each other. ‘To Engiand, Prance and Amer- | fea ought never to be any question of other | force than the force of facts and reason. | With a thorough entente between the three the peace of the world might be assured If any regrets could be mentioned regard- | ing the banquet, the chief is that the first’| lord of the admiralty did not accept the invitation to preside and left it to his pre- cursor. ‘The Times in a leading article says: The dinner was properly made the occa- | sion of an unusually cordial display of in. ternational good will, and was, in all re Spects, an occasion worthy of the inter- national sentiment which inspired ft. It) must always be policy, rather than senti- ment, that determines the practical rela- tions between states, but policy itself 1s! affected by sentiment, and the sentiment | of yesterday's gathering was indisputably one which must help to render the rela- tions between England and the United States more intimate and cordial, and con- } ducive to a friendly and stable understand- ing in the future. The American Preceeding, the article sa: The American navy already contains promise and potency of an immense and in- | calculable future, and it seems reasonable to hold that its growth {s spontaneous and as yet an almost unconscious response of a great nation to the firperative calls of its natural destiny. If so, the fact is of vital importance to ourselves. We shall have face the prospect of the growth of an Amer- {can sea power not unequal to our own, the ulterior consequences of which are beyond human ken, It needs no prophet to pre- dict that they will vitally affect the whole fate of the future civilized world. The Standard says: It is to be hoped that our gvests realize that Englishmen regard the growth of the new American navy with much more sympathy than jealousy. The traditions of the American republic as a maritime power are honorable and brilliant. Englishmen. have every reason to respect the prcwess of Americans. Mr. Bayard did well to point out that the modern conditions of maritime warfare originated with Amer- ican seamen. The engagement of the Mon- itor and the Merrimac was the beginning of the revolution in naval construction. We have no reason to belleve that the courage and Ingenuity of American seamen displayed in the past Is likely to be lacking in their successors. Englishmen cannot grudge their over-sea kin this splendid at- tribute of nationhood. The Daily News says: Admiral Erben and the Chicago's officers are none the less welcome because their | visit is informal, and we trust that they | will believe that the cordial greeting given | them was none the less the expression of | the national feeling for having originated in private circles rather than at official | quarters, The welcome given by four rep- | resentative Englishmen to the American of- ficers may well be the subject for congratu. lations on both sides of the Atlantic. MR. GLADSTONE’S CONDITION, Rallying Excellently From the Effects of His Operation. LONDON, May 25.—Dr. S. H. Habershorn, one of the surgeons who took part in the operation yesterday upon Mr. Gladstone's right eye, says that the main task of the doctors is to increase the sight and strengthen the eye, and there is no reason why this should not be accomplished. The following bulletin was issued this morning: “Mr. Gladstone has passed a quiet night, being free from discomfort. His eye is) progressing quite well, and his general | health is excellent.” The French Ministerial Crisis. PARIS, May 25.—M.

BiG PARADE AND GRAND BALL Provisions for Change in the Motive Power, Extension of the Line the Debt Payment, &c. Senator McMillan today reported to the Senate from the District committee House bill 6171, known as the Metropolitan railroad bill, with certain amendments which have been agreed to by the District committee of the Senate. As outlined yesterday in ‘The Star, the bill is a combination of the fea- tures of the bill as passed by the House and the bill introduced in the Senate some weeks ago on the same subject by Mr. Me- Millan. The features of the House bill re- lating to the legal aspects of the case be- tween the railroad company and the Dis- trict in regard to its old debt are retained unchanged in the bill reported to the Senate today, while there are added other features which formed a part of the McMillan bill relating to new cars and penalties for a failure to substitute mechanical power for horses on the road. Section one of the amended bill provides that the Metropolitan Railroad Company “Is hereby required to cease to use on its lines running east and west each and every car that has been in use on {ts lines for three years or more, and shall substitute ther-for new cars of the most approved pattern. Failure to comply with the provisions of this section within ninety days from the approval of the act shall subject the com- pany to a fine of twenty-five doilars for each and every day during which the com- Registering Those Who Can Enter- tain the Visitors. WORKING BOARDING HOUSES The news that comes into Pythlan head- quarters in this city from every direction in regard to the big encampment is of the most encouraging description. Secretary Percy G. Smith told The Star reporter today that things were locking lovely, and that those interested in the Washington end of the celebration were obeying the injunction of Commander Gen- eval Carnahan to “keep awake.” All the committees, he said, were working level, with a long range gait that would bring them under the wire in record-break- ing time. There was no occasion to use the whip and spur, as there was no kick- ing over the traces, champing of the bit or talking through the hat. The commit- tees were working without friction and in a way to win, ‘The mail of the committee today was a straw to show the direction of the wind. It contained a communication from Wilming- | ton Division, No. 1 U.R.K.P., indicating | that they would be here in force. They made inquiry as to accommodations, rates | and like pertinent subjects. Then there was | a long letter from Charleston, Ill, Division No. 52, filled with words of cheer and prom- ise. They are coming. They want to at- tend the encampment of their order, but they want to see Washington, too. Lieut. Col. Printuppe, writing from Rome, Ga., says that Georgia will hola up her end of the procession, as is the habit with Georgians. He has nothing to say about the number of men who wil! be with him; in any event it will be a large body, and the lower the railroad tariff the bigger the body. Quartermaster Gen. Wiggins of Mas- sachusetts writes to the committee that he has engaged quarters for the second Mas- sachusetts regiment, U. R. K. P., at the Hotel Windsor, and that thus he has re- lived the committee of a little of its bur- den of responsibility. A letter from the colonel of the eighth Chio regiment shows that that body will be here when wanted, and that it will be heard from on the day of parade. Local Accomodations. The registration books of the public com- | fort committee are now open at head- qvarters in the Warder building, and it is desired that the landladies of Washington, and also those who are willing to accom- | modate a few friends, will let this commit- Stitution of new car: Omits the Word Electric, Section two authorizes, empowers and re- quires the company “to equip and operate the lines of their cars upon all the streets and avenues of Washington and George- town where the lines of the read are now operated with pneumatic or with an under- ground system for the propulsion of such cars.” This is a change of some conse- qvence from the House bill, which provided | that the road should substitute “an under- | grovnd electric system” of propulsion. | There is a proviso in this section thet the change to an underground system shall be completed upon the north and south line w.thin one year, and upon the east and west lines within two years after the ap- proval of the act. A further proviso requires “that there shall be completed an extension on t Capitol street from 9th street east to 15th street east, around both sides of Lincoln | Square, and also an extension from th street west northwesterly, on Florida ave- nue to Wth street west; provided, that on the completion of the’ extension of 9th street to 10th street on Florida avenue the ccmpany shall cease to operate that por- tion of its present lines which extends from 9th street west to Tih street west on Florida avenue, and also that portion on 7th street west north of Florida avenue, and in default of such completions all acts INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS, ACCOUNTANTS AMUSEME: AUCTION SALES err CS COUNTRY BOARD. .......

There will be features tee have the address and number of people who can be comfortably provided for. The committee does not wish to encourage crowding. An application was received this morning from a lady, who offered accom-| modation for 150 people, saying that during the G. A. R. encampment she had stowed | away 300. The books of the public comfort | committee contain today a lst of about | ) houses, and it is wanted to run this up | ithin a week or so to at least 1,500. The | sooner a landlady registers, the better will be her prospects for success. “Register early” is the motto of the committee. A Bogus Register. The local Pythians have been sorely troubled by a crook, who has been making the rovnds of the city, calling on “the lady of the house,” ard representing that he was delegated by the public comfort com- mittee to register those who cared to enter- tain visitors at remunerative rates. He would charge a fee of one dollar. He counted his victims by the score, and in- eldentally did some damage to the public comfort committee. This man ts a fraud, and is thought to have jumped the town, Chairman J. H. Mitchell was tomahawking for his scalp yesterday, and it is said suc- ceeded in getting an excellent’ description of the offender, which is now in the hands of the police. ‘They are after him. There has been some very violent talk around Pythian headquarters, which it will not do to ptint, and it is certain that if the bogus canvasser is apprehended be will search in vain for a soft spot in the hearts of the committeemen. They want ft announced that no solicitors of this kind have been sent out by the committee; that the regis- tration books are at the Warder building, and that there 1s no fee charged for regis- tering. Another question which is just now agi- tating the Pythians is how to utilize to the best advantage the bureau of informati It is thought most likely that booths will | be erected at suitable points about the city, after the manner of the Grand Army. ‘These will be manned by competent fel- lows, who will be able to tell strangers or parts of acts chartering or extending the said road are hereby repeaicd.” Section three of the amended Dill is simi- lar to section two of the House bill, author- izing the company to issue its bonds, se- cured by a mortgage cn its franchises and other property, to pay the expenses of this improvement, but not in excess of the cost. The bonds shall not be sold or dis. pesed of at less than their face or par value. Indebtedness Due the District. Section four of the amended act is section three of the old act relating to the suit now pending between the District and the road, in which it is provided that the case shall be sent to the Court of Appeals, which Is vested with original jurisdiction to hear the case without a jury upon the issues other than those relating to the statute of limita- tions or the plea of failure of notice to the company. The court is to determine the in- debtedness due the District and shail enter judgment in accordance with its finding. It is provided that unless the company shall file in the court its consent in writing to rights and defenses under the statute of limitations and also rights and defenses which it has by reason of the judgment of the Supreme Court of the United States within thirty days after the approval of the act all rights granted to the company by the act shall cease. It is provided that the judg- ment of the Court of Appeals shall be final and without appeal and that the cost of the transfer and hearing of the case in the Court of Appeals shall be paid by the rail- road company. The Use of the Tracks. The fifth section of the amended bill re- lates to the use of tracks of one railroad company by another in the following lan- guage: “That the District Commissioners shall have the power In all cases where the lines of two or more railroad companies coincide under routes authorized by Congress and where the nature of the mechanical power ‘the public may be subserved without | change in substanc used by said company will allow, to permit the use of the tracks of the Metropolitan Railroad Company by other companies in said District, upon such terms and condi- tions as the Commissioners shall deem just, to the end that the greater convenience of the duplication or unnece ase of rail- read tracks in the business portions of the citte: The section also grants the privilege to either party to such an arrangement to ap- peal to the United States district court all | controversies in relatio tor the use of the tracks. ‘The sixth section of the new bill is taken from the MeMillan bill and provides that to compensation after one year from the approval of the act | the company shall pay to the District, in | addition to all other taxes now required, an | | annual tax of five hundred dollars for each car operated by horses cn the 9th street line, and also of five hundred dollars for each horse car operated on all their lines after three years. The bill as amended by the District committee is placed on the Senate calendar for future action by the Senate, What Representative Hall Says of the Feeling in His District.

Gordon Parker of New York city. He yesterday defeated Edwin P. Fischer of the same city in the finals of the tournament held in the grounds of the} Bachelor Club on M street between Con- necticut avenue and 17th street. The re- sult was somewhat a surprise to the spec- tators, who witnessed this and other games in the series. Mr. Fischer was looked upon | as the leading player, and it was geaerally conceded that he would carry off the cham- pionship honor, There are some things more uncer.ain than the outcome of a tennis game, but not many. Four sets were played, Parker win- ning the first two easily by scores of G4 ard G-3. The third set was a hard fight, and ended in Fischer's favor, 5—7. The final set was played in the gathering dusk, and was won by Parker, the score being 6—4. Two matches were played in the conso- lations. The unfinished one from the day before between Biddle and Lieber was won by Biddle, 7—5, 6-2. Bethel defeated Good- fellow, 6-2, 6-3.

The first District smallpox patient is dead, but there is trouble in official circles grow- ing out of the treatment of the case. The trouble grew out of a publication in The Star to the effect that, owing to the red tape of the District government, the sup- plies for the smallpox patient were unneces- sarily delayed. Commissioner Truesdell, who has charge of the health office, saw the publication and sent a messenger to the smallpox hos- pital to get a report from Dr. Nevitt con- cerning the matter. The report set forth that Friday night before Dr. Nevitt left Health Officer Hammett he impressed upon the latter the immediate necessity of send- ing out provisions and drugs for the use of the hospital. Dr. Hammett's reply was that he would sce to it that everything necessery should |be furnished forthwith. Early Saturday | morning Dr. Nevitt handed the requisition | for the supplies to Intendent Stoutenbureh, atd the latter delivered them to the heaith officer that morning. The urgency of the cose demanded immediate attention, and | yet, says the report, it was Monday after- |ncon at 4 o'clock before the suppites were received. The report of Dr. Nevitt was immediate- ly referred to the health officer for reply. | These replies were duly received, and then | commenced a three-ccrnered fight between the health officer, his chief clerk and the property clerk of the District relative to the delay. Dr, Hammett stated that he had prompt- lily approved the requisition and sent it | forward. But the dcctor, it seems, did | nothing after approving the requisition, nor eid any one else for that matter. In the eantime the patient's condition became | alarming, and had it not been for the kind ness of the intendent of the Washington Asylum, who sent Dr. Nevitt such drugs as his hospital could spare, the death of Remus Nelson might have occurred sooner. At length the patient's condition became so serious that he could no longer take sol fcod. On Tuesday morning, according to Dr. Nevitt's report, he telephoned the health office for some beef extract immediately. | But ao attention, he says, seems to have been paid to the matter until Wednesday #fternoon, when three bottles of the extract uiverd. “lay afternoon the Commissioners examined Health Oficer Hammett and his chief clerk. | This morning the Commissioners sent for | Dr. Nevitt to hear his version of the affair. ' Dr. Nevitt stated that on Friday night, | when he left Dr. Hammett, he told him that | the hospital was without supplies, and he hoped the lesson of delay taught year before last in getting supplies would not be re- peated. Dr. Hammett assured him he would get everything he needed immed y. He bad meade out his requisition Friday night and sent it in by Intendent Stoutenburgh the first thing Saturday morning. It was nearly 4 k the following Monday af- ternoon before the goods were received. He had or them after sending arding the = it ed Tonner aid the healt ’ morning to send three bott b xiract Jimmediately, and the condition of the pa- pointed out with a view t hur. supplies.
