JAPANESE ALL UNITED FOR WAR Chicago's Officers Forced to De- cline a Banquet. THE RECENT INDIAN FLOOD WEYMOUTH, August 27.—Capt. Carter, commander of the Britannia, has received @ message from the Prince of Wales in- structing him not to race the Britannia again this season in any of the regattas. ‘This is due to the accident by which Chief Officer Simons and Caterer Roper of the Britannia and Engineer Brookman of the steam yacht Tabura were drowned. Chief Officer Simons and his companions left the Prince of Wales’ cutter for the shore on Saturday in a dingy. But during @ rain squall the dingy was lost sight of, and yesterday morning she was picked up floating bottom up. As nothing has since — heard of the three men it is concluded that they were drowned. The Prince of Wales, in his telegram to Capt. Carter, said that unless Vigilant in- sists upon racing for the Cape May cup Britannia is to lay up for the winter. JAPANESE ALL FOR WAR. The People United and Eager for Con- quent. YOKOHAMA, Japan, August 27.—The war feeling here is growing more intense every day, and there is a great popular demand for the transfer of the warlike operations from Corea to China. It is suggested that Jepan should unite all her available troops and march upon Pekin immediately. War has made the people a unit, and there is no sacrifice so great that the patri- ctic Japanese are not ready to make it for’ their country. CIVILITIES DECLIN ‘ED.

Preparations for the coming fair on the old fair grounds at Rockville are being pushed to. completion. For nearly fifty years this old town has been the seat of the Mont- gomery County Agricultural Society, whose officers now are John H. Bogley, president; G. T. Snouffer, vice president; John E. Muncaster, secretary, and John J. Higgins, treasurer. The board of directors are Wm. Dorsey, C. W. Fields, Hezekiah Trail, John HL. Bogiey, Thos. O. White, John H. Gasso- way, G. T. Snouffer, Z. M. Cooke, H. H. Griffith, John C. Bentley, Henry H. Miller and Wm. H. Muncaster.’ Wm. F. Snouffer, with an able corps of assistants» is chief marshal. A new exhibition hall and dining room is being built for the accommodation of ts and exhibits. The building is two stories high, 60x24 feet, and will be fitted up in the latest and most approved style. A number of new stables have been built this year and the horse show will surpass any ever seen in this section. It is estimat- ed that 200 horses will be on the grounds. Seven trotting races have been filled with thirty-eight entries, and in addition three hurdle races and three running races will be given during the three days’ exhibition, September 5, 6 and 7.

Something of the History of the Place Where the Original Knights Sub- scribed to the Ritual. The birthplace of the order of the Knights of Pythias, which is now known as Ma- rini’s Hall, on the south side of E street be- tween 9th and 10th northwest, presents a gay and attractive appearance, with its front covered with flags and bunting and decorated with emblematic designs arrang- ed with tasteful fancy. Union Division, No. 8, and Union Lodge, No. 22, of this city se- cured possession of the historic building, so full of interest to themselves and their vis- iting brethren, as an appropriate place for thelr headquarters during the present en- campment, and through the courtesy of these orgunizations the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia also has its temporary headquarters in the same building. Origi- nafly erected years ago, the structure was first known as Temperance Hall, its room being devoted to the uses of various total abstinence societies at that time in exist- ence in Washington. Some time after the wer It was secured for dancing school pur- poses by Professor L. G. Marigi, who was, for many years, the fashionable dancing master of the national =. and during his occupancy of it Marini’s was the scene of nearly all the brilliant social dances of a public character. It was here that the bachelors’ german first became famous as the most elegant affair of the season, and many of the belles and beaus who now enjoy its delightful charms at the Rifles’ Armory were taught the first steps of the waltz and polka in the old building. ‘When Prof. Marini gave up the place the National Rifles occupied it for armory pur- poses until their structure on G street was completed, and after that the government used it for one of the bureaus of the sixth auditor's office. It is now without a regular tenant, being rented for various purposes from time to time. The Knights in Charge. ‘The committee of knights in charge of it is composed of Capt. E. C. Gill, chairman; T. C. Clark, J. W. Blackson, J. Huston and M. S. Campbel) of Union Division, No. 8, and Armand E. Coquard, John T. Clark, David Goump, J. H. McGann and Walter Goodwin of Union Lodge, No. 22. They are kept busy receiving the numer- ous visiting knights who desire to pay their \ Marini's Hall. pilgrimage to the simple rhrine where their great order was brought into being. There is nothing, however, to mark the space on the lower floor in the back building which was then included in the walls within which Jcstus H. Rathbone, Robert L. Champion, ward S. Kimball and William H. and David L. Burnett first subscribed to the ritual which is now observed by nearly half a million brothers. The pictures of the five original members are on sale in the large ball on the second floor, together with a photograph of the building, showing Union Division, No. 8, drawn up in front‘of it. Handsomely Decorated. The hall itself is decorated in an exceed- irgly pretty manner for the grand ball which Union Lodge and Union Division will tender tomorrow night to the visiting Py- thians and their ladies. The walls and ceil- ings are beautifully draped with profuse streamers in orange, red and gold, caught here and there with bunches of American flags, that drcop gracefully from their tiny staffs. Mr. W. W. Kimell is the chairman of the ball committee, which consists of eleven members, and the decorations were arranged under the supervision of Messrs. David Goump and J. H. MeGann. For the ball tomorrow night Towson’s string orches- tra of ten pieces has been engaged, and the arrangements give promise that the enter- tainment will be memorable among the many of the week. ——-+_—. APPLICATION DENIED. Secretary Does Not Have to Tell Why Mr. Dryden Was Removed. Judge Cole this morning disposed of the application of Lyttleton T. Dryden, late shipping commissioner of the port of Bal- timore, who several days ago petitioned the court to require the Secretary of the Treasury to show cause why he had re- moved the petitioner, and to grant a writ of mandamus, compelling the Secretary to re- store the petitioner to the office. The case was argued last week, as stated in The Star at the time, by Messrs. Hodson and Kines of the Baltimorg bar on behalf of Mr. Dryden, Assistant Aitorney General Whitney representing Secretary Carlisle. Judge Cole disposed of the case In a very few words, holding that in removing Mr. Dryden and appointing his successor the Secretary had acted wholly within the law, although the Secretary had failed.to give the reasons which prompted him in so act- ing. An appeal was noted by counsel for Mr. Dryden. Judge Cole stated that it appeared that Mr. Dryden had been removed by the Sec- retary, and had turned over to his succes- sor the office. Hence, Mr. Dryden was out and the other man was in. There was no dcubt that the Secretary had the power to remove for sufficient cause, and the exercise of that power of removal is evidence that the Secretary had exercised the discretion vested in him. The exercising of that discretion was, of course, not a matter which could be re- viewed by the court through mandamus, or, indeed, in any other way. Except where the law expressly provided otherwise, there could be no doubt that a simple order of removal was suffictent, a statement of the reasons therefor not being required to be made by the official making the removal, In the present case, that of the appoint- ment of 2 shipping commissioney, the ap- pointment was wholly at the pleasure of the Secretary of the Treasury, and where he made a removal of one by appointing another shipping commissioner, it was con- clusive evidence that the Secretary had re- ~~. for cause, Mr. Dryden had a title to the from which he had been removed, expat ed Judge Cole, his remedy was not by writ of mandamus, but either by quo warranto or by an application to the Court of Claims. There had been during President Cleve- land's first administration, said Judge Cole, @ case where a justice of the peace of the District had been removed by the Presi- dent. The law provided that justices of the peace should be removed only for cause, In removing the justice the President mere- ly stated that the party had been removed for cause, not assigning the cause. That case, thought Jadge Cole, presented a stronger one for the petitioner (the re- moved justice) than did the present one, but the court in general term, on appeal, bad held that the President had ected wholly within the law, and the dectsion, derying a writ of mandamus, was accord- ingly affirmed, While the case before him, explained Judge Cole, was merely an application for an order on the Secretary of the Treasury to show cause why a writ of mandamus, restoring the petitioner to the office, should not be made, it was so apparent that the Secretary had acted within the discretion vested in him that the petition would have to be denied. Judge Cole thereupon directed that an order be drawn denying Mr. Dry- den’s application, whereupon counsel for the petitioner noted an appeal to the Court of Appeals, COME IN ea Lively, Bustliig Scones Today at A KNIGHTLY .WELCOME EXTENDED The Blare of Bands and the Tread of Soldierly’ Columns. SCENES AND INCIDENTS — One of the busiest scenes in the city to- day is at the 6th street depot. Sir knights, in uniform, members of the public comfort committee, High School cadets, who are serving as messengers, and citizeng gen- erally form an almost impassable mass of humanity which surges to and fro with never a stop. Since early morning the crowd has been in attendance, and it will probably exist with undiminished numbers throughout the night. Scores of pretty girls add attractiveness to the sight. Trains have been arriving at intervals of ten or fifteen minutes during the day, and each is laden to its utmost capacity, so that the various committees have their hands full. Just outside the iron grating, which separates the depot proper from the train shed, is stationed the Pythian recep- tion committee. The sir knights on duty today from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. are Capt. Mills, Lieut. F. C. McCathran and Knights Minnis, Shelton, Schoenthal, Porter, War- Hard to Keep Out. ner, Osborn, Cox and Thorpe of Nelson Di- vision, No. 2, of Washington. As each delegation of uniformed men arrives it is met and welcomed by the committee, and then escorted to’ quafters by two of the members, As the visitors approach the depot they are confronted by.a large sign bearing the words, “Public Comfort Committee.” In a room set apart for its. use this committee, compesed of E. R. Levy, chairman, and Messrs. Victor E.,.Green, E. D. Crouch, 3. Silverberg, F. J. Donnelly, B. P. Turner, Harry King, John Ender and Reid, is hard at work answering questions in regard to accommodations, and dispatching the new- comers to quarters under escort of messen- gers who wear white ribbon badges, in- scribed, “Messenger, kx. of P. Boarding House Cappers. It has been found impossible to accom- modate in camp all who ask for tents, but the pvblic comfort ccmmittee has completed arrangements to furnish satisfactory quar- ters to every one who applies at the depot headquarters. These accommodations are situated In the best and most desirable por- tions of the city. Chairman Levy states that a number of irresponsible cappers for boarding houses have taken their stand in- side the depot, and if visitors have been im- posed upon by such individuals they have only themselves to blame, as they should have made application to the committee. The regular depot bureau of information has been besieged all day by parties de- siring to learn the hour of arrival of certain trains, and the patience of the gentleman inside the window has been taxed to the ut- most by persistent interrogators, The Arriving Knights. A division of sir knights from Wilming- ton, N. C., pulled into the depot soon after 8 o'clock. It was followed a few minutes later by the first and fifth divisions of Georgia, and divisions from Indiana, Illi- pois and Ohio. Alabama followed with a large delegation. Shortly before 11 o'clock Diviston 16, of Rochester, N. ¥., and, Divi- sion 3, of Detroit, alighted from a trafn and marched off with perfect tactical skill. Fifteen minutes thereafter a large delega- tion from Texas and Illinois, accompanied by a band of thirty pieces, arrived. All the sir knights referred to attracted consider- able attention as they marched up Pennsyl- vania avenue. The great and final rush of incomers is expected this evening, but the committees and the railroads are prepared to handle any number of visitors without delay, AT THE B. AND O. STATION, Some Trains Are Delnyed, but the Pythians Are Coming. A continual stream of humanity issued from the exit at the Baltimore and Ohio station all the morning. At 7 o'clock a New York train arrived, but there were no Pythians aboard. Instead a large throng of visitors alighted and hurried to convey- ances, which took them to their places of temporary abode. The scene at the stand of the public com- fort committee was interesting. The table was strewn with cards bearing the inscrip- tions of different boarding houses and hotels. Among the visitors to the stand were more local people than Pythians, and a large number told the tale of how many dissatisfied boarding house people there are. “Have you my name?” queried one madame, while simultaneously another re- marked: “Why don’t you send some people to my place? You have my card.” Some of these people do not wait for the avthorized egents to act, but solicit of their own accord, and efforts are, indeed, very strenuous to rake in the much coveted shek- orTne keeper of the exit gate is a very busy man, indeed. “Stand back and allow the pcple to pass,” is his continual exhortation, which is, indeed,’ more observed in the breach than in obedierice. All the Way From Texas. Anxious eyes watched for the special over the Shenandoah division early this morning. It was due at 4 o'clock, At that hour it had not arrived; 5, 6, 7 o'clock passed. The much-looked-for Texas contingent had not yet arrived. The regular train was due at Just Landed. 9:20, and then the word was passed that the special would arrive attached to the regular, The latter was late, but at quarter of 10 it arrived in conjunction with a part of the special. Nine members of Samuel Houston Division, No. 3, of T alighted. They were from Paris, Te: First Lieut. A, G. Grannon was in command. In answer to the query of a Star reporter, Lieut. Gran- nen stated that the special train had broken dcwn at Luray, ‘Va., early in the morning. There they waited for the regular train, which brought the cars to Washington, and in them the delayed Pythians. The nine men looked tired, and under escort of a High School messenger departed at once baat headquarters, leaving their baggage to follow. Tennessee Contingent. About 10 o'clock another southern train arrived. It was on time, and brought over 140 Bythians, members of the Tennessee contingent. These were the second and third divisions, the third in command of Brig. Gen. Alexander Allison and Col. W. H. Tompkins of Cleveland, Tenn., D. Ly Smith of Sweetwater, Tenn., adjutant. An- other division was in command of Capt. E. A. Turner of Chattenooga and First Lieut. Russell. The Tennessee Pythians did not seem particularly stuck on Washington, however, and seve their remarks. ‘mp! grunted one, “we've got a better depot in Chattanooga than this yere.” Just then the me! of the Tennessee band, which had n filling the inner man at a nearby restau- rant, put in appearance. “Play ‘Dixie,’ boys. ‘Give ‘em ‘Dixie.’ It’s been some time since they’ve had ‘Dixie. The command was greeted with enthusiasm. “Shine 'em up, sir,” put in a little negro. “Shine,” remarked the Pythian; “don’t you suppose we know enough to get a shine on the cars?” By this time the band and the old air of “Dixie” had called together a large crowd, indeed, Scenes and Incidents. “Have you my cards?” The speaker was an elderly boarding house matron. The person addressed was in charge of the table beartng hotel cards, etc., and was part of the public comfort committee's outfit. He had talked to about a thousand persons during the day, and having no means of knowing the name of his querist, promptly replied: “No, madam.” “I sent it down here,” she isted. A large round Ger- man, with a “frau und drei kinder,” pushed through the little gathertng. “I vas want ein blace to poot oop,” sald he. “This lady will attend to your wants,” was the reply, and soon the boarding house matron, the fatherlander, his wife and three children disappeared. It was only one of the little —— 8 occurring £0 constantly at the sta- jon. Trains arrive nearly every fifteen minutes, but there has been much disappointment manifested because of the small number of Pythiaus coming im. Capt. George J. Bess- ler of Arlington cavalry, No. 9, presented himself at 11:45 to escort a squad of cavalry of Major Yeung’s command, due at that hour from New York and Syracuse. About noon the train arrived. Phil. Sheri- dan Division, No. 32, cavalry, Jee Hooker Division, cavalry, known as Central City Division, and Prospect Diviston, No. 15, in: fantry, alighted from the train, and form- ing on the platform marched to the street. Colonel E. W. Haven, assistant quarter- Taaster general, New York brigade, was in command. Colonel Haven belongs to Syra- cuse City Lodge. Protection from criminals and the depre- @ations of pickpockets is afforded through the efforts of Detective Lioyd of the Balti- mcre and Ohio force, under Chief Detective Grannan. It was Detective Lloyd who ap- prehended Murphy's gang, which came from Baltimore Saturday. These four men vere brought to the station, and under the supervision of Detective Lloyd shipped back to Baltimore, they having been given three hours to leave town as a result of their trial in the Police Court. a THE WOOLEN SCHEDULE. te the Proper Interpre- tation of the New Law. Still another question has arisen as to the proper interpretation of certain se tions in the new tariff bill. Schedule “K,’ “wool manufactures of wool,” imposes certain specified duties on a very long list of manufactured articles, composed in part or in whole of wool. The last paragraph in is schedule provides that “the re- duction of the rates of duty herein pro- vided for manufactures of wool shail take effect January, 1895.” Inasmuch as the courts have decided that “manufactures of woo!’ means only those in which wool is the chief compo- nent in point of value, the question arises as to whether the iim Which the new rates go into effect apply to the whole schedule or only to “manufactures of wool.” A large part of the schedule is given up to the enumeration of articles in the com- position of which wool does not represent the chief value. This being the case im- porters will be interested in the question whether a large proportion of their impor- tations of goods containing wocl are to pay the new or old rate, Richard Burgess Used a Hatchet on a Door. 7 Richard Burgess was yesterday arrested on an old charge, that of assault and bat- tery and destroying private property. The complainant in the case is John 8S. Parker, @ brother-in-law. It appears that on a cet tain day in May, Burgess visited his rela- tive by marriage while in an intoxicated condition. His condition made him unwel- come, and he was tcld so. Then there was a burst of wrath, followed by an assault. Parker finally succeeded in putting his wife's sister's husband out of doors ard barring his entrance. Burgess secured a hatchet from a neighboring wood pile and began an assault Wpon the door. Continued strokes worked havoc. A warrant was then sworn out by Parker. Burgess, however, kept out of the officer's domain by going outside ef the District. As soon as he re- turned he was caught. The house in which Parker resided at the time of the assault on himself and door was in the rear of the Nourse home, near where the Woodley lane and Tenleytown road meet. At about 3 o'clock yesterday lightning struck the cupola on the residence of Mr. Geo. J. Easterday, 1681 3ist street, and dam- aged it to the extent of about $25.

It will be impossible for days yet to compute the damage done, but it is almost certain that at least 1,000 people have perished some by drowning, others by being crushed under falling houses and trees, The excitement is great among the Amer- {ean colony at St. Petersburg, for it is feared that at least two parties of Ameri- can tourists were on the sea of Azov at the time the wind did its deadly work.

Special Correspondence ef The Evening Star. CAMP WERTS, Sea Girt, N. J., August 26. Over a dusty road, kiln-dried by long con- tinued drought, and beneath a cloudy, rain- threatening sky which refused to pour out its moisture upon a thirsty land, the detach- ment of District National Guardsmen that last night left Washington on a journey to Jersey marched into the midst of familiar scenes to the tented city which flappingly awaits the coming of riflemen from all over the United States. It was a bright, cheer- ful little company, unmindful of the fact that for the most part it had been awake during the greater portion of the night. The start from Washington was made at about 11:40, and those who were in the special car which Passenger Agent Studds had provided were Major Geo.H. Harriesin- spector general of rifle practice and captain of the brigade team; Capt. H. H. Parmen- ter, team quartermaster; Lieut. W. P. Vale, team adjutant; Corporal Morris leby, Capt. Jon B, Bell, Private Robert Preemie: ton, Capt. Wiiliam L. Cash, Col. Cecil Clay, Private Geo. E. Cook, Sergeant Clarence W. Dickey, Lieut. A. O. Hutterly, Corporal John A. Kirk, Lieut. Chas. H. Laird, Pri- vate Henry H. Leizear, Capt. William H. Moyer, Private J. M. Pollard, Private 8. L Scott, Brigade Commissary Sergeant J. M. Stewart, Lieut. G. B. Young, Lieut. Geo. C, Staw, Sergeant A. 8. McClain, Sergeant Major P. W. Smith and Private W. E. Col- y. Before the Eastern branch had been crossed some of the more somnolently in- clined were busily engaged in devising schemes by which slumber could comforta- bly be indulged in, many of them successful- ly. The trip to Philadelphia was made without incident save the sudden and re- markable development of hunger conse- quent upon the motion of the train. The Quaker city was reached at 3:45, and there a distinguished Jersey guardsman—Col. Fel- ton, assistant quartermaster general, who is well known at the national capital—joined the party and proceeded with it to Sea Girt. At Trenton another assistant adjutant gen- eral—Col. William A. Early—became one of the crowd, and moved along to the team’s destination. Both Col. Felton and Col. Early are old-time friends of the District team, something that was evidenced by the heartiness with which they proceeded to make things pleasant for the visitors. Col. Felton being post quartermaster had many opportunities to show the kindly disposition which is within him, but the unnamed oth- crs were at least as anxious as he to make the Washingtonians feel as though no other people were worthy of Jersey's confidence. At Sea Girt the company was received by Capt. Graff, who appears to be the early bird of the canrp. Later in the day there was the usual hearty reception by Gen. Spencer, and in the evening by Gen. Don- nelly, the state Quartermaster general. ———— THE COURTS. Equity Court, Judge Cole.—Bond agt. Gess- ford; decree for $389.65, interest and costs against defendants. Stull agt.

Their last important victim is a young negro named Richard McCauley. He is only about seventeen years old, but for three years he has assisted in making life uncomfortable for a number of persons. His first appearance in police circles was after he had robbed several persons @t whose houses he had found employment. He first came here from Manassas, Vi where he had committed a robbery, some of the stolen property was f{ Then he went to the real estate office Messrs, Atwell & Coffee, on East Capitol street. and, by relating a story of being an orphan and in destitute circumstances, he managed to get a place to sleep and was also given something to eat. While there he endeavored to become a safe robber, and although he ruined the ivon safe he did not get any valuables. He next ed at the house of a resident of Le it Park, where he had been given a home and employment. At this house he asked permission to go out one morning to get @ morning paper, and that was the last they saw of him until he was arrested.
