THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, AUGUST SOUTHERN PROGRESS Perfecting Arrangements for the Business Gathering, ANOTHER PRELIMINARY MEETING HELD The Committee Reports That Many South mers Are Coming. TO RECEIVE THE GUESTS The second of a series of preliminary meetings to perfect arrangements for the great business meeting in the interests of southern development, to be held in this city on the 30th and 31st instants, was held last evening at parlor 10, Willard’s Hotel, and most satisfactory progress was indi- cated by the enthusiasm of those who at- tended and by the forward condition of the advance details of the meeting. The main object of the meeting last night, as was stated by the chairman, Judge Samuel Blackwell of Alabama, was the completion of the committee on reception, which was begun at a meeting that was held on Sat- urday afternoon, when the nuclets of this important committee was formed by the selection of two or three representative men from the southern states. At Satur- day's meeting Judge Blackwell was made chairman of the preliminary organization and Mr. W. W. Scott of North Carolina secretary. There were about half a hun- dred present, all the southern states but ove being represented. After a full con- ference the meeting adjourned until last evening. It was evident from the interest manifested by those present last night that the southerners in Washington have deter- mined to embrace the opportunity afforded by ihe great gathering of Knights of Pyth- las here next week to hold a great business meeting that will tend to develop befcre the commercial interests of the country the ad- vantages offered by the south. It was 8:30 o’cleck when Judge Black- well called the meeting to order, saying that he was sure that all who were present, representing many more who could not at- tend, were interested in the resources of the south. He therefore believed that they would heartily co-operate with the commit- tee on arrangements, already organized, to make sure that those who attend the meet- ing next week will be heartily welcomed and coraially received on their arrival in this city. The main point, he said, was to be sure that the delegates to the meeting were taken in hand by those quite familiar with the city and introduced to the proper chairmen and other officials of the con- vention. Reports already received, he indi- cated, served to show that the crowd will be large, and he suggested that the commit- tee on reception be increased to nine men from each state. People Who Are Coming. Mr. H. H. Colquitt of the committee on arrangements, in séconding this suggestion, said that he had received acceptances al- ready from upward of five hundred people, who say they will be here, and in view of this number he thought’ the committees from each state should be large enough to divide the work and so avoid any unneces- sary burden en each individual. The pre- liminary roll of state committees was then called, and as each state was mentioned its representatives present arose and suggested other names of those southerners who they bel'eved to be willing to serve on the committee. This, however, did not quite fll the quota and jt was agreed that those chosen at last night's session should at once select their colleagues to fill out the desired number. A brief recess’ Was taken: in erder that this might be done, but the lst was not quite complete when the meet- ing finally adjourved.

In answer to a query by Mr. Parke Mar- shall of Tennessee, Mr. Colquitt answered that the leading transportation lines of the south heve all been communicated with end urged to send representatives to this meeting. In addition, the agents of all the routes in this city have been consulted as to reduced fares, and it was at their sug- gestion that the dates were so fixed that the delegates to the meeting could take advantage of the reduced rates offered to the Knights of Pythias. This is equal to half fare, and the tickets are good un- til Sepiember 6. The rates that have been quoted for the Pythian encampment are not, of course, confined to members of that organization, but advantage can be taken of them by anybody. Mr. Colquitt went on to say that ameng the Krights of Pyth- fas who will come to Washington to at- tend the ercampmeat will be a great many ‘southern business men, who will come for something more than a mere pa- rade, and will be glad of a chance to meet other representative southerners of e1ter- prise to discuss the resources of the terrl- tory south of Washington. The Washing- ton peeple, he added, nave taken hold of the scheme with enthusiasm and have :siven the committce on arrangements every aid in their power. The board of trade has con- stituted Itself an advisory committee and will be aided by a committee of other citi- zens. The board tas given the use of its rooms free, and, through the courtesy of Mr. Staptes, who is a member of the beard, has tendered to the business meeting the gratuitous use of Willard Hall and parlor t@ in the hotel as headquarters. These rooms wilt be open continuously from new vntil after the great meeting, and it is the desife of the committee on arrangements to hold sessions-at the headquarters every | Might. if possible.

The Members of the Department Guard in a Rain Storm, Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. WAR DEPARTMENT GUARDS’ CAMP, SEA ISLE CITY, N. J., August 20, 1894. With the departure of the Ordway Rifles, compat:y D, fourth battalion, District of Columbia National Guard, the military camp was officially taken possession of by the War Department Guards, company D, sixth battalion, and Capt. Robert E. Wil- son assumed command. After supper last evening the Ordways put up an excellent farewell drill. Almost every movement in the school of the company was executed with characteristic vim and snap, after which the command was wheeled from a column of fours into line, and brought to “present arms.” The company was at this time directly in front of the Colonnade Hotel, where both organizations were being entertained, and, turning around, Capt. Williams saluted the ladies and soldiers who thronged the veranda. This pleasant little courtesy was warmly appreciated and applauded as the boys of the fourth march- ed back to camp. All was bustle for a little while, when the departing lads strolled out in small squads to parade on the proverbial plank walk, and tell the sweet summer girls good-bye. During the evening a few of the more prudent remarked or the ominous-looking weather, and foretold a shower, but that did not worry the others much. At 8:30 o'clock the two companies were formed and marched in a column of fours to the depot, where the new arrivals formed in line and preserted arms to their homeward-bound comrades, which salute was duly acknowl- edged. Then Capt. Wilson commanded rest, immediately prcposing three cheers for the Ordway Rifles. The latier answered with their company yell, and were soon fly- ing toward Washington. The Ordways said to a man that their sojourn had been most pleasantly spent, but to judge by their happy songs while marching to the depot, one would feel strongly inclined to believe the old, old sa: ing that “there is no place like home. After returning to camp the guardsmen of Capt. Wilson’s ‘company began making preparations te receive the expected storm with due considération for old Neptune, but more especially themselves. A sleep such as only weary Soldiers can enjoy soon en- veloped the inhabitants of the Guards’ can- vas home. {J (J A Storm at Night. Shortly afte midnight the corporal of the guard rouseqevgrybody up with orders to kok to the suy‘ropes of their tents, and all hands had fo farm out and strengthen foundations. . Soqn, however, the wet: work had been completed, and the drenched sol- diers put on dry clothes, then returning to bed, Mstened, domplacently to the patter of thd falling spindrops and long rolls of thunder as they seemed to keep time with the great ocean waves that lashed the near- by shore.

The camp was excellently cared for, and if everyone doing duty proves as efficient as those who have already charge of things, this camp will be a model one. Tattoo was sounded at 10 o'clock and taps at 10:30 last night and reveille at half-past 5 this morning. Drill in the foot movements was omitted this morning on account of the muddy con- dition of the ground, but a very satisfactory lesson in the manual was learned by the company. : Capt. * Wilson was agreeably surprised Jast evening by the appearance of his wi! who had accompanied Mr. and Mrs. W son to Sea Isle City from Washington. Sergt. Feaster is acting as first sergeant, and fills the vill to the satisfac- tion of all concerned. Rifle Practice. Last night’s rain tore things up at the Tifie range, the water swelling the sand mound and thus disarranging the butts. Corporal Gott, In charge of squad consist- ing of Privates Harper, Jones and Streater, was detailed to repair the damage immedi- ately after dinner, and Capt. Wilson has ordered the company to assemble at 2 o'clock this afternoon, at which time in- struction In the use of a rifle will be given the men, and rifle practice will begin in earnest. Corporal Duffy, who has charge of the full-dress equipments, issued the uniforms he had to the men this afternoon, and dress parade is expected this evening. Capt. Wilson called on the mayor of Sea Isle City in his official capacity this morn- ing, and was heartily welcomed by that gentleman. The men are gradually making acquaint- ances, and already feel at home. When reveille was sounded this morning “old glory” was raised over the War De- partment Guards’ camp, and the starry banner flapped and cracked as it floated proudly over the abiding place of its volun- teer defenders. The boys were in favor of naming the camp in hohor of Capt, Wilson, but he pre- ferred to call it for the organization, and of course his wishes in the matter were respected. —s SURVEYING A VOLCANO.

Donald Stewart returned last night from the expédition, with which he spent wsev- eral days fof the purpose of looking in- to the feast! of constructing a wire tramway from hase of the. volcano to the sulphur mines within the creter. He thinks {t pcssible to construct a tramway fer freight and passengers, but has not en- studied the cbstacles to be encoun- tered and the difficulties to be overeome. The tramway would be overt ten miles in length ond the longest line of the Kind in the world. ; So far the United States ministers in Cen- tral America have not advised the Sta Department of the progress cf the inov ment toward the combination of the five small republics there in one large nation. While such a consummation would be wel- comed here, it is feared that it is scarcely practicable because of the personal jeal- ousies of the many self-constituted leaders, which led to the downfall of the old con- feieration about a quarter of @ century ago. aretha exh seein vera A Corn Meal Trust.

IMPORTANT DUTIES OF ADMINISTRATION The Legal Safeguards Thrown About the Issue of Licenses. BOARD’S ACTION FINAL The new board of assessors will meet to- day in their capacity as an excise board. The law under which the present board of permanent. assessors was appointed a few days ago provides that the said board shall hereafter constitute the excise board of the District of Columbia, and shall per- fcrm all the duties of said board according to law. That portion of the law of March 8, 1893, which imposes thts duty upon the Commissioners of the District is repealed. The law which the excise board 1s called upon to execute is of recent origin, having been approved March 3, 1893. It is known as an act to regulate the sale of intoxicat- ing liquors im the District, and is quite lengthy, comprising some twenty-one sec- ticns. This law, with the amendment known as the Babcock amendment, which was approved May 11, 1894, embodies all the law regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors in this District. The last section of the act provides that !t shall be in lieu of and as a substitute for all existing laws and regulations in the District in relation to the sale of distilled and fermented liquors, and that all laws or parts of laws inconsistent with this act, except such laws as are applicable to the sale of liquor with- in = mile of the Soldiers’ Home, are re- It will be seen that the duty which has been imposed upon the board of assessors in constituting them an excise board is an important one. They are to administer the liquor laws of the District, and are em- powered to make such rules and regulations for carrying into effect the law as they may deem proper. It is their duty to wake up and consider all applications for license to sell intoxicating liquors and take action on such applications. The action of the board shall be final and conclusive, and only on the granting by the board of a license to an applicant to sell intoxicatirg liquor shall the assessor issue a license to such appli- cant. The board is required to make an annual report to Congress, setting forth the number of applications for license, both favorably and unfavorably acted on, the number of persons convicted for violation of the law and the amount of fines collected erd uncollected. A License Required. The board ts authorized to appoint an as- sistant clerk at a salary not to exceed $1,000, This clerk is ex officio the inspector ot license issued under the law. It is his duty to make the inspections required by the law under the orders of the board, and make full report of such inspection to the board. The law provides that no person shail sell, offer for saie or keep for sale, or traffic in, barter, or exchange for goods, in the District, any intoxicating liquor, ex- cept as provided for in the law. This pro- vision, however, does not apply to sales made by a person under a provision of law requiring him to sell personal property, nor to sales by the maker, brewer or distiller thereof, not to be drunk on the The meaning of the term intoxicating liquors as used in the act is defined to in- clude whisky, brandy, rum, gin, wine, ale, perter, beer and all other fermented and distilled liquors, Every person applying for a license td sell intoxicating liquors in the Distriet is- required to file with the excise board a pe- tition for ‘such license, and such petition shall be considered aj acted on by the bcard in the order in which such petition is filed and numbered. The petition is to con- tain the following particulars: The name and residence of the applicant and how long he has resided there; the particular Place for which a license is desired, desig- nating the same by street and number, if practicable, and if not, by such other apt deseription as definitely locates it; the name of the owner of the premises upon which the business is to be conducted. Petition for a License. A Statement that the applicant is a citi- zen of the United States, is not less than twenty-one years of age, and has never since the passage of this law been adjudged guilty cf violating the laws governing the sale of intoxicating liquors or luws for the prevention of gambling in the Listrict of Columbia, must be made. Tne peti- tion must be verified an affi- davit of the petitioner. A false state- ment makes the petitioner guilty of perjury, and, upen conviction, his license shall be revoked and he shall be subject to the penalties provided by law for that crime. ‘The petition must further state that the petitioner is not owner of & licensee named in any ee Gree then force; that he intends jo carry busines for himself, and no! 86 aft agent, and will do so; that he intends to superin- tend In person the maragement of the bus- ness, and will do so. In addition, to the ap- Plication for a license, every applicant must Present to the excise board the written per- mission of a majority of the persons own- ing real estate and a majority of the resi- dents kesping house on the side of the square where it Gezired j¢ locate such business and on the éonfront! je of the uare fronting opposite the same. In the case of bar rooms located on a corner, with an entrance thereon, such con- sent will be required from owners and resi- dents on both streets. Within the sans | Outside of the cities of Warhington Georgetown permission is to be obtained from a majority of the persons owning real estate and of residents keeping house within the space of 250 feet of the street or road on each side of the place where it is desired to locate such business, and within a simi- lar space on the side of the street or road fronting opposite such place. The assessor is required to certify to the fact of the ownership of real estate, and the police Meutenant or acting lieutenant of each pre- cinct to the fact of the residents and gen- uineness of the signatures of the residents. Renewal of Signatures. Every place where intoxicating liquors are sold, to be drunk on the premises, is for the purposes of this law considered a bar room, and the possession of intoxicating liquors end the selling or disposing of the same, to be drunk on the premises, shall constitute and make the place a bar rocm. Afte> the expiration of the period for which a license is issued, it shall not be recessary for such licensee to obtain again such consent for a renewal of the license unless the ma- jority of the real estate owners ana resi- dent housekeepers aforesaid shall petition the board, stating In such peti:ion that said bar room is not necessa-y, and is objection- able.. The fact that such parties so petition- ing and objecting are real estate owners and resident housek: and the genuine- ness of their signatures shall be certified in the same manner as {s provided in reference to their written consent. However, upon a conviction of such licensee of keeping a dis- orderly or disreputable place, it shall be the duty of the board to revoke the license, but until such conviction the Hcense shall not be revoked or taken away. Discretion is given to the excise board to issue a-icense to any duly incorporated club to sell Liquors to members and guests between such hours as the board may des- ignate. The card may also give permission to any license dealer to sell Nquors at any bona fide entertainment of any society, club or corporation. No licens: under this Taw is to be imsuel for a greater period than one year, and no license can be trans- ferred, except upon the written consent of the exeise board, and upon the propose) transferee obtaining the consent of a ma- jority of the r estate owners and resident housekeepers in the case of an original party ard the payment of a fee of two dol lars. There are two classes of Myuor l- censes authorized by the law, namely, wholesale and bar room licenses. At the time of filing the application for a license the licensé fee must be deposited with the collector of taxes. The wholesale licenre fee is $259 per annum, and a bar room li- cense fee 31) per at num. A bar room license ts required where in- toxicating Mquors are scold by retail.

The great lake in Kilauea overflowed its banks on July 8, and on the 12th the lava fell 270 feet in twelve hours, causing the banks to fall in on all sides and engulfing abcut eight acres of the floor of the crater. ‘The falling of the banks was going on all day and far into the night, and produced a sight indescribably grand. The unusual and thrilling scene was wit- nessed by a party of tourists consisting of W. N. Armstrong, Mrs. C. L. Carter, Miss Wing, the Misses Snow, Mr. Crockett, Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Thurston, Martin Lee and Albert Lazure, the guides. The scene of action was one of great danger, but so in- tensely fascinating thet the party remained in the crater during almost the entire day and part of them during a part of the night. Occasional falls of the banks are still tak- ing place. The activity of the lake has in- creased since its fall, and it is again rising. This is believed to be the first “break- down” which has eyer taken place in Kilauea when any one was present. Mr. Armstrong sali: “On the 10th of July tt was noticed from the Volcano House that great pillars. of dust were rising from all sides of the lake. ‘These were caused by the general subsid- ence of the lava banks surrounding and sloping downward from the lake. As the molten lava fell the benks also fell, and the palis enclosing the lava fell in on all sides, leaving perpendicular walls, out of which ooze’ in every direction small streams of lava, presenting a most brilliant effect. “Whenever large sections of the walls | fell in they created such a disturbance in the lake that billows of lava rolled from side to side and broke live waves on the seashore. The falling of the walls con- tinued untii the lava had fallen for about 270 feet. : thorough explora- | “Mr. Thurston made | tion of the erater, and it was about as ac- | tive as the voleano.
