CROWDS OF CALLERS AT HEADQUARTERS The Citizens’ Fund for the Enter- tainment Receiving Additions. THE TERM “CONCLAVE” Still the Pythians progress, and their in- dustry grows by what it feeds on. The number of callers at headquarters makes that place seem too small. The elevator conductor has raised blisters on his hands and has threatened to resign unless the stair.ise is brought into operation. Men at headquarters who are experienced in cele- bration matters state that the tide of visit- ors has set im unusually early, and this is accepted as a sign of triumph. The crowd did not begin to haunt the headquarters o¢ the Grand Army encampment comuitiee till within a month of the event, and the throngs did not become intense till two weeks before the veterans assembled. Then the temporary building at the southwest corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street was used for the reception of those who had business with the public comfort committee. It is sald at the rooms of the Pythian public comfort committee that it is but the question of a short while when it will be necessary to enlarge the headquarters. Yes- terday afternoon was an especially busy time with the committee, and the pressure of peopie today has been heavy. Women are vastly in the majority, and many of them take up needless length of time in the transa¢tion of their business. Qne landlady held to Secretary Percy G. Smith for twen- ty minutes this morning in giving him data concerizing the rental which she paid for her premises, the condition of the plumbing and thé slings and arrows which she had to submit to from the owner. Another land- lady consumed almost as much of the sec- retary’s time in telling of the number of relatives which she had in the order of the Knights of Pythias, and of the prominence of the positions which they held. People of this kind are boresome. Save the Committ ‘Time. The committee on public comfcert would like the public to understand that it ts not on duty at the Warder building to listen to tales of woe, to establish corfidential re- lations with applicants, or to act trustees ef family secrets. All that is needful for an applicant to do is to state name, address, rates, number of people who may be a commodated, and the class of the accom- modations. If visitors will observe these directions’ much time will be saved to each person, and much annoyance spared the ecmunittee. The question of an extension of the rail- read ticket mit from September 6 to Sep- tember 11 is being agitated today. General Jobn E. Smith, secretary to the transpor- | tation committee, wrote this morning to | Mr. J. R. Woods, general passenger agent (of the Pennsylvania railroad, at Philadel- ; Phia, explaining the matter to him, and urging ‘apon him the requirements of the Knights of Pythias in forcible terms. Why the Pythians want the time limit extended is that in naming September 6 as the Proper date of expiration for the return Uckets somebody blurdered. The Supreme Ledge, it is now said, will probably be in session till September 7 or 8, with the pros- es favcring the latter date. The local ythians dre also exceedingly anxious that the visiting brethren shall have ample time in which to visit Mount’ Vernon, climb the monument, shake bands with the Presi- dent, buy some souvenirs of Washington, and do just as other tourists are permitted to. The committee has determined that this shall be, and it shal All Working in Harmony. Chairman Heisley of the transportation committee is also at work on this phase of the case, and has entered into communica- tion with the proper authorities. He re- ports a satisfactory outlook. Mr. Hege, passenger agent of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, has had his sympathies enlisted and is giving the good cause many a lift by his advice and experience. Mr. Parke of the Pennsylvania railroad Was at committee headquarters yesterday. ‘There was a slight disturbance because of the publication of t The Star man found on the council table, but a few appropriate explanations on ali sides averted difficulty and a general hand- shake ensued. The committee was advised this morning of a threatened rate war between the lines composing the Western Passenger Associa- tion at Chicago. Exactly how this rate war will effect the encampment, should the war materialize, cannot well be told now, but this association covers a very im: portant Pythian region. It is wired that the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe has volunteered to open the fight. The other railroads comprising the association named are as follows: Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern, Chicago and Alton, Chi- cago and Northwestern, — Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Chicago and Great Western, Chicago, Minneapolis and St, Paul, Hannibal and St. Joe, Kansas City, St. Joe and Council Bluffs, St. Louis, Kansas and Northwestern, Illinois Central, lowa Central, Missouri Pacific, St. Louis and Sante Fe, Wisconsin Central, Wabash and two other lines. If these roads begin surgical operations on their tariffs, it will be hard to underestimate the significance which it will have toward the Washing- ton celebration. ‘The Sinews of War. Fiseal Advocates Donnelly and McClin- tock were on the warpath yesterday after- noon and made cails upon scores of the publie-spizited people of the city. They did not meet with a single refusal. No amounts were mentioned, but all who were visited declared that they stood ready to help the committees along and felt sure that all the money feeded for the celebration could be raised without difficulty. Several communications have been re- ceived from news dealers in vartous parts of the land asking for information as to which of the Washington papers would print the rullest and best reports of the Proceedings of the convention of the Su- preme Lodge and the encampment of the Uniform Rank. A Pythian paper received at headquarters contains an editorial censuring those who are responsible for having caused the name “Conclave” to be applied to the coming Pythian demonstration. One of the official cizculars sent out by the committee con- tained this error, and {t was not discov- ered till a good many of the circulars had been distributed. As soon as the discovery was made the error complained of was rec- tified. No blame rests upon any of the | members of the executive committee, and the local knights are as much opposed to the application of the word conclave to a Pythian agg-ezation as their outside broth- ers, Conclave is part of the nomenclature of the Knights ‘Templar, and its adoption or use by the Knights of Pythias would be looked upon, it is seid, as an infringement. The Operatic Benefit. The benefit given at the Academy of Mu- sic by the National Ideal Opera Company Wednesday night, last night and this after- | noon was a much-talked topic. | but praise could be heurd for the clever young péople who volunteered to labor, act and sing for Pythianism, and it is quite probable that an official vote of thanks will. be given by the Grand Lodge. It ts also said that the members of the company ; may be complimented with the autographs | of the members of the committee as a sou- | venir of the event. The profits which have | been realized from the entertainments have not been so great as some of the knights hoped, but then the elements were against them. Some say that there was hardly sufficient time to work the affair up >in the order, and then the never-dying excuse is also given that the circus was in town this spring. _—— The Inconsistent Sex. From the Philadelphia Press. “Queer,” said a man thoughtfully the other day, “the contradictions of women. I know a girl who was plucky enough to go out on a Dakota ranch to rescue a brother | who was going to the dogs out there.

They Successfully Reply to Interroga- tories and Defend Their Positions, An audience of interested people gathered in University Hall, at the corner of 15th and H streets, last evening to hear the three members of the Corcoran Scientific School, Columbian University, who were applicants for the degree of civil engineer read their theses which they had prepared and defend them from the criticism of ex- perts who had been chosen to pass upon the merits of the papers. The young men were Mr. George Franklin Perry~Mr. Har- old Davis of Ohio and Mr. William I. Dem- ming. All three were graduates of the Cen- tral High School of this city. The subjects assigned to them for treatment were all of local interest connected with the engineer- ing problems presented by the condition of affairs in the District, and all three theses showed marked preparation and ability on the part of the young engineers. ‘There was not a very large audience pres- ent, for the papers, while interesting from a scientific point of view, were rather too deep and technical to entertain the general Mstener. Those who were there were, for the most part, relatives and friends of the graduates, and they had every reason to feel gratified at the success achieved by the three young men. According to the new methods adopted by the pniversity, it is necessary for the applicant to read an ex- tract of the thesis he has prepared, and also to answer in public any questions which the board of judges may see fit to propound, in order to still further ascertain the famll- jarity which he has with the subject as- signed to him. The three young men whose fates were decided last evening all acquitted themselves most satisfactorily, and at the conclusion of the evening’s exércises tie judges announced as their unanimous. ver- dict that the candidates had all presented sufficient evidence of their proficiency, 80 that at the commencement exercises, June 18, all will receive the coveted degree of civil engineer. ’ Questioned by Experts. Mr. George Frankiin Perry read the first thesis of the evening on the subject of a plan for better flood protection within the District. This thesis, as well as the others, was illustrated with carefully prepared charts and diagrams, and contained esti- mates of cost and all the details that would be necessary in the case of plans actually drawn for real work. Mr. Perry criticised the present sewer system of Washington as inadequate for a city of its size and posst- bilities of growth, and submitted a compre- hensive plan for a new system, with dikes, sewer lines and a pumping station for forc- ing the sewage and flood water from the lower levels of the city out into the main current of the river. The board ofvexperts— Capt. Fiebeger of the engineer corps, United States army; Civil Engineer M. T. Endi- cott, United States navy, and Chief Engi- neer George W. Littlenales—put Mt. Perry through a rigid series of questions, which showed that he had studied the question carefully and knew his ground pretty thor- oughly. Steam Railroading in Washington. “Solving the Railroad Problem for Wasn- ington” was the subject allotted to Mr. Harold Davis of Ohio. Mr. Davis’ scheme for settling all the dangers and difficulties now connected with the railroad situation in this city involved the building of a union depot between 7th and 10th and C and D streets southwest, and bringing the difter- ent lines to it by viaducts and subways, thus doing away with grade crossings. Way stations were placed on the proposed nes at several points inside the city. Two freight yards were established at points convenient for the two roads at the only points at grade within the city, but where there could be no danger to the public. ‘The plan was very comprehensjve, and the estimated cost was $2,408,404." The boara of experts on this thesis were Bernard R. | attacke of the imperial German embassy, and J. . Greiner, engineer of bridges of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. ‘The cross-examtnation brought forth that | no danger to the Capitol or the Congres- {sional Library was involved in a tunnel | under Capitol Hill; that the through and | local traffic should be divided and run on |separate tracks; that Virginia avenue | should be abandoned for the greatest part |of its length, and the two railroad lines should meet south of the Capitol, at C | street, pass under Delaware avenue, and continue on C street, where land is as yet unimproved and property available for private yards, to the union depot. Each Tallroad would enter the city on two tracks only, the two branches of the Baltimore and Ohio uniting just before Florida ave- nue. West of the union depot the joint railroads would run on four-track viaducts. No switching, except into the yards named and at the depot, to be allowed in the city. Improving Rock Creek. A plan for the improvement of the Rock creek district in Washington was a subject which was ably and skillfully handled by William I, Demming. The examining board in this case were C. B. Hunt, C. sentative J. Frank Aldrich, C. E. Norris, C. E. It was proposeil to relieve Rock creek of all the sewers emptying into it, by inter- cepting sewers on each side, ‘connecting with the general sewerage plan proposed for the District. The creek then, freed of its impurities, would be given a straight- er channel, it would be arched ov the land reclaimed divided in block: ete., and sold. Though this would a number of intricate and costly enginzer- ing problems, it was calculated that the revenues from land sold, taxes, ete., would pay for all the improvements to’ within about one million dollars in less than ten years. The Fava Prize. The special board for the award of the prize in civil engineering given by F. R. Fava, professor of civil engineering, con- sisting of Prof. T. C. Mendenhall, Mr. Ber- nard R. Green, C. E., and Mr. Conway B. Hunt, C. E., did not make their report last evening, as was expected. The prige will be awarded at the final commencement, June 13. The public exhibition of drawings will .commence at the, Univecsity Hall on Monday. i THE PRECISE CO. UCTOR. He is Exact in Manner, but Rather Irritating to Women Passengers. From the Detroit Free Press. Detroit has a street car conductor who | ought to bea finnicky old maid or a profes- sional facetiousist. The other morning a | Young woman in the car beckoned for him, |and he came readily, for he is polite and prompt. “Can I leave the car at the next street?” she inquired. “You'll have to, miss,”” he responded. It wasn't the end of the line, and she didn't understand; neither did she like be- ing told she would have to leave the car. “What djd you say?” she inquired, with ja reddening face. “I sat@ you would have to leave the car, I guess 1 won't unless I want to,” she said, in very evident indication of rising temper. “Where do you wish to go?” asked the conductor, perfectly calm. “Two blocks down that cross street.”” ‘The conductor smiled softly. hen you will have to leave the car, | miss, for I don't see how you can possibly | take it with you,” and he rang the bell for | the crossing, and the girl hadn't time to j Stay and have it out with him, soe The Legion of Honor. | From the London Dally News. | M. Ambroise Thomas, on whom the grand cross—formerly grang@ cordon—of the Legion of Honar was bestowed én the occasion of the thousandth representation of “Mignon,” is one of six civilians who at present hold that order. Melsscnier is the only artist who has ever held this distinction. The number of grand crosses Is limited to eighty, but for a long time past the number actu: ally holding the decoration has varied be- tween forty and fifty. When the Legion of Honor was created in 1802 by Gen. Bona- parte, then first consul, the holders of the grand cordon were entitled to draw £800 a year. At the restoration this amount was reduced by one-half. Nowadays the mem- bers of the Legion of Honor receive the following annuities: Knights. £10: oflicers, £20; commanders, £40; grand officers, £80, and grand crosses, £120. Decorauons con- ferred on civilians do not carry with them any pension. Green, C. .; G. 'T, Hoeche, C. E., technical | OLD WORLD MATTERS A Terrific Hailstorm Experience at i Vienna. RONNING OF THE OAKS AT EPSOM Startling Report Submitted to the Storthing. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS LONDON, June 8&—A dispatch to the Times from Vienna gays: The worst hail- storm that ever visited this city commenced at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. At that time dense, copper-colorad clouds rose with alarming rapidity. The wind drove the dust in columns to the height of four-story houses. This lasted a few minutes, and then the hail began to fall, and covered the city in a short time to the depth of six to eight inches. In less than fifteen minutes the city looked as if it had undergoae a bom- bardment. It is estimated that 100,000 win- dows were smashed by the hail. Five hun- dred panes of glass were broken in the ministry of commerce building alone, and six hundred in the palace. In the upper floors and the emperor's wing of the palace hardly a pane remains unbroken. In a large mill on the Danube nearly four thous. and panes were smashed. The hailstones averaged the size of hazelnuts, and de- scended in streams. Three deaths are re- ported as due to falling trees. Numerous horses. were frightened by the storm and Yan away, causing serious accidents. Much damage was done in a field outside of Vienna, where a detachment of artillery with thirty-two guns was overtaken. The horses bolted tn fright in all directions, and thirty soldiers scon lay helpless on the ground. Several of them were run over and one was killed. Three officers were severe- ly injured. Many persons were bruised by the hail in the principal streets. The beautiful gardens of the city are a pitiful sight. The trees are stripped of their leaves, the flowers destroyed and the avenues strewn with branches and small trees. The fronts of many houses have the appearance of having been the target for a musketry vol- ley. Telegraph and telephone poles were blown down in exposed situations, and the wires ere stretched on the ground like huge cobwebs, causing the death of thou- sands of birds and stunning many horses. The thermometer during the storm sank to 10 Reaumer. It is feared that irretriev- able damage has been done to the crops. Reports from Pressburg show that that lace was also visited by a disastrous hail- torm, and that the vineyards were almost ruined. Violent storms have occurred during the week at Odenburg, Vesseprim and in Cro- tia. Immense is reported to have been done. ' WON BY AMIABLE. Ru ing of the Onks on Epsom Downs. LONDON, June §.—At Epsom today the Oaks was won by the Duke of Portland’s brown filly Amiable, by St. Simon out of Tact. Sweet Duchess, a brown filly by Hagloscope out of Grand Duchess, the prop- erty of Sir R. W. Griffith, was second. Lord Cadogan’s Sarana, a brown filly by Saraband out of Wild Hyacinth, was third.

TREACHERY IN NORWAY. Military and Naval Officers Ruined Thousands of Rifles. CHRISTIANIA, Norway, June 8. —The Stcrthing committee has presented an im- portant report. It says that, at the height of the conflict between the crown and the literal party, in 1884, resulting in the im- Peachment of the conservative cabinet, sev- eral high military and naval officers delib- erately ruined 30,000 rifles, placed a number of batteries of artillery in readiness for im- mediate service and caused the warship Horten to be cleared for action. All these preparations, the report adds, were made with the utmost secrecy, and Admiral Koren, Gen. Wergland and others Geclared that the officers referred to acted without instruction, The committee deemed these statements | to be unsatisfactory, and has reported simi- | larly regarding Admiral! Koren’s action, in | 1893, in adopting secret military measures. Mr. Houghland moved that the report be submitted to the government with the view of bringing about the prosecution of the guilty officers. Mr. Ullmann, leader of the left, moved an address to the king (Oscar ID, pointing | out the danger of the situation and de- | manding a guarantee of constitutional free- dom and independence, and appealing to | the King to assume the duties of supreme commander and guardian of the forces. | —— | The Engaging Smile Was Frozen. From the Chicago Tribune. The young swell who had just lunched at a Clark street restaurant stepped up to the | cashier's desk to pay his bill. He wore a spotless light browh suit and an engaging smile. - “Ah,” he said to the trim and attractive young woman behind the railing, “I saw you on the street car the other morning.” “Did you?” she responded, taking the money and check and making change. “Yes. I couldn't see your face very well, but I knew you by the pretty red dress.” "| “That's strange. This is the first time | T've worn it.

But you looked alike. He was your brother, wasn’t he?” “No; he was my husband. Will you please step aside?

Points That Were Raised in It—The Indictment of Congressi Wit- messes. A precedent for the indictment of contu- macious witnesses of congressional Investi- gating committees is furnished in the nota- ble case of Hallet Kilbourn. Mr. Kilbourn was taken into custody by the sergeant-at-arms of the House, on an order of that body, and domiciled in the jail of the District, on the 14th of March, 1876. Three days afterward, on the 17th, Mr. Kilbourn addressed a letter to the Speaker of the House, stating the cause of his im- prisonment,and demanding that the Speaker should certify his case to the United States attorney of the District of Columbia, as provided in section 102 and 104 of the Re- vised Statutes of the United States. Mr. Speaker Kerr on the same date certified the case to the district attorney, as de- manded by Mr. Kilbourn On the 27th of March ited States Di: trict Attorney H. H. Wells addressed a letter to the r of the House, inform- ing him that Ha! Kilbourn had been duly indicted for a contempt of the House of Representatives, and that a warrant of the Supreme Court of the District had been is- sved to the United States marshal to take Mr. Kilbourn into custody. On the day following the sergeant-at- arms of the House notified the Speaker that the United States marshal for the District of Columbia had called upon him and de- manded the right to serve the warrant and take Mr. Kilbourn into his custody. Refused to Deliver Him. ‘The Speaker laid the statement of the sergeant-at-arms before the House, where- upon Mr. Glover, chairman of the investi- gating committee, offered a resolution re- citing the action of the House in placing Mr. Kilbourn m jail in the custody of the Sergeant-at-arms, which resolution conclud- ed with a declaration “that the sergeant-at- arms is ordered to retain the custody of Mr. Kilbourn, and not deliver him to any per- son, officer, court of tribunal until the further orders of the House.” Mr. Glover's resolution provoked a lengthy discussion, which was participated in by Mr. Glover of Missouri, Mr. New of In- diana, Mr. Kasson of lowa, Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, Mr. Cox of New York, Mr. Hooker of Mississippi, Mr. McCrony of Iowa, Mr. Garfield of Ohio and Mi of Vi ia. During the debate Mr. Hurlbut of Tili- nois offered the following resolution as a substitute for Mr. Glover's: “Resolved, That the sergeant-at-arms be directed to deliver Hallet Kilbourn, now in his custody, for contempt, to the marshal of the District of Columbia, to be brought before the proper legal tribunal for trial according to the course of law for a misde- meanor for which he is now under indict- ment.” Mr. Hurlbut's resolution was voted down by an aye and nay vote of 190 to 33, and Mr. Glover's resolution adopted without division. Mr. Kilibourn’s purpose in procuring the indictment was to get his case before the judicial branch of the government, whose tribunals he believed would protect his con- stitutional and legal rights. The action of the House in thus refusins to recognize the official act of the co-ordi- nate judicial branch of the United States government compelled Mr. Kilbourn to remain in the custody of the sergeant-at- arms for several weeks longer, and then he proceeded with his second object lesson for the edification of the constitutional states- men of the House. A Writ of Habeas Corpus. On the 10th of April Mr. Kilbourn,through his counsel, made application to Chief Jus- tice Cartter of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, for a writ of habeas corpus, which was granted by Justice Cart- ter, accompanied with the following ex- pression: “I understand the office of this writ to be to present to the judicial author- ities of the country the claims that a pri- vate citizen may have to his liberty, as a writ of right that follows the citizen in Protection of his liberty everywhere, what- ever authority may be involved.” On the following day the United States marshal certified that he had served the writ on the sergeant-at-arms of the House. On the 12th the sergeant-at-arms stated to the court that he had notified the Speaker of the service of the writ, and the case was continued till the i5th, and again till the 18th. On April 12th the Speaker laid before the House a letter from the sergeant-at- arms asking for instructions as to obeying the writ of habeas corpus, a copy of which he inclosed. “In view of the gravity of the matter involved in the communication,” as stated by Mr. New, the letter was referred to the judiciary committee for consideration and prompt action. On the 15th Mr. Hurd of Ohio, by direc- tion of the judiciary committee, reported the status of the case of Mr. Kilbourn in 2 pre- amble, with the following resolution: “That the sergeant-at-arms be directed to make a careful return of said writ, setting out the causes of the detention of said Kilbourn, and to retain the custody of his body and not produce it before the said judge or court without further order of this House.” The proceedings in the House on the re- port of the judiciary committee occupied two days in discussion, participated in by Garfield, Hurd and Lawrence of Ohio, Lord of New York, Jones of Kentucky, Kasson and McCrary of Iowa, Lynde of Wisconsin, Blaine and Frye of Maine, Kelley of Penn- sylvania, Hoar of Massachusetts, Hooker of Mississippi and Tucker of Virginia. Mr. Lynde of Wisconsin offered the follow- ing as a substitute for the resolution re- ported by the judictary committee: “Re- solved, That the sergeant-at-arms be, and he is hereby, directed to make careful re- turn to the writ of habeas corpus in the case of Hallet Kiibourn, that the prisoner is duly held by authority of tle House of Representatives to answer in proceedings against him for contempt, and the sergeant. arms take with him the body of said Kil. bourn before said court, when making such return as required by law.” This substitute vas adopted by a vote of 165 yeas to 75 and the next day, the 18th, the sergeant-at-arms appeared before Justice Cartter with Mr. Kilbourn, who was at once ordered into the custody of Di States marshal. 2 oe Released From Custody. The final hearing before Justice Cartter commenced on the 18th of April and closed on the 24th. Mr. Kilbourn was represented by a number of eminent counsel, as was also the government. On the 28th Justice Cartter delivered his opinion, liberating Mr. Kilbourn from the custody of the House of Representatives by its sergeant-at-arms, and his case was remitted to the court having control of the indictment. Xo action was ever taken under the in- ee and it was subsequently dismiss- On May 1, two days after his discharge under the writ of habeas corpus, Mr. Kil- bourn addressed a letter to the Speaker of the House, stating that he had no other motive in his refusal to comply with the demand of the House of Representatives heretofore than the vindication of the pri- vate and personal rights of the citizen; and his position having been sustained by the United States District Court, he was now willing to appear before the House com- mittee and answer fully all interrogatories which he had previously refused, and sub- mit his books and papers as evidence to show that the government was in nowise interested in his business affairs. The let- ter was laid on the table and no further action was taken by the House at that time. Nine years later, however, during which time Mr. Kilbourn had carried his case against the sergeant-at-arms for {le im- prisonment through the several cou. ts and three jury trials, the House of Representa- tives passed a bill appropriating the money to pay the final judgment against the ser- geant-at-arms, and Mr. Kilbourn received something over $00 per day for the time he was domiciled in “Castle Crocker,” on the palisades of the Eastern branch, as a 2+ AS a Terrapin Farm. From the Ciueinnati Engutrer, “Upon the coast of the Gulf. of Mexico, about ten miles from Mobile, is situated Derlanes’ terrapin farm. It is one of two in the United States, the other being located on the coast of Maryland, and belongs to Senator Stewart. I was once the guest of Dorlanes,” said L. E. Dougherty, at the £mery, “and was much interested in watch- ing the development upon that place. I found that the terrapins, which are usually advertised for sale in the restaurants at from 25 cents to $1, sold in New York for from $4 to $6 a’ dozen. “Perhaps 10,000 terrapins are turned into the Dorlanes terrapin farm at one time. They will average all the way from one month to twelve months; all terrapin over that are not received at all, because they can be sold direct at more than would pay to raise them in the farm. The farm is not unlike a rice farm: it is composed of strips of narrow land and of narrow water, and the terrapin are fed three times a day, be- ing called up by a peculiar chuckle, upon which they come and receive their food. When arrived at the age of one year they sell readily in New York for $4.50 per dozen. ‘There are perhaps 10,000 of them on t Dorlane: marketed when they are one year _—__ FINANCIAL Money To Build Or improve.
