Debs and others, defendants in the injunc- tion cases growing out of the late strike, by their counsel,have filed a demurrer to the bill of complaint introduced by the government at St.Louis.In their demurrer the defendants demur on the following grounds, among others: That the court has no jurisdiction of the subject. That the complainant has not the legal capacity tO bring this action. That no act of Congress authorizes any action by the United States against persons with whom it has no contractual relations in that to enjoin the abstract on or retarding of the United States mail, and the United States has no power or authority so to proceed. That no act of Congress authorizes an ac- tion or proceeding in equity by the United States against those not common carriers to enjoin the hindrance with other obstruc- tion of trade among several states, and the United States has no power to proceed. That the court has no power to enjoin any offense u«gainst the penal laws of the United States. That any act of Congress purporting to give a court of equity power to enjoin any offense against the penal laws of the United States~is in conflict with the fifth and sixth amendments to the Constitution of the Unit- ed States. ——___-+ e+ ____ TO EMPEROR WILLIAM I. Monument at Konigsberg Unveiled by the Kaiser. Emperor William and the empress ar- rived at Konigsberg yesterday morning in order to unveil the monument erected to the memory of his grandfather, Emperor William I. Consequently the town was in holiday attire and was crowded with visit- ors. Emperor William was on horseback and the empress rode in a carriage. Upon their arrival at the gates of the city all the bells were set ringing, and the mayor read an address of welcome from the people of Konigsberg. The imperial party then proceeded to the main square, where the monument stands. The streets were lined with troops and be- hind them were dense masses of people, On the square a ghard of honor was drawn up. Count von Eulenberg, as presi- dent of the memorial committee, received their majesties, and in a speech of wel- come dwelt upon the memorable services — Wiliiam-I had rendered to the {ather- ni Emperor William, replying to the ad- dress of the mayor, remarked that it was well said that the country had been won b: the sword, and by the sword, he ‘added, they would continue to hold it.

No New Negotiations With Spain Be- gun by This Government. The Madrid Gazette published Monday printed a decree canceling the reciprocity treaty between the United States and Cuba, the cancellation to take effect “the moment the United States applies the new customs tariff.”” Instructions have been sent to the Span- ish colonies that cargoes which cleared from the United States before the new tar- iff went into effect are to pay the old rate of duty. At the State Department it was stated that nothing had been undertaken by the department relating to further treaty nego- tiations. It is possible that the 3 nish government may have indicated to th United States minister at Madrid that It was desirable to enter into new treavy re lations, since the new tariff abrogated the treaties made under the McKinley law, but it is said that no initlative steps have been taken by this government. a Hawatian Royalists Give Up.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CAMP WERTS, SEA GIRT, N. J., Sep- tembe: 5.—Once more does the state of Pennsylvania possess the Hilton trophy, Yesterday’s battle for the great silver shield was probably the hardest ever fought, al- though there have been many interesting and clcse contests. Not in many years have so many tearm) been in the field. New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, Georgia, New Jersey and the District of Columbia sent their best men to strive for the most conspicuous hon- or possible to American riflemen, and it was captured by Pennsylvania. ‘The day's work opened with the interstate match, in which each team of twelve fired ten shots per man at 200 and 500 yards. There were no atmospheric reasons why first-class scores should not have been made, What there was of wind was steady, while the light was that blue gray that brings the target out so clearly and makes sight blurring almost impossible. ‘Without incident worthy of note, the first stage proceeded unti) it was shown that New Jersey was ahead with 506 as its 200 yards score, while Pennsylvania had 504, Maine 504, the District of Columbia 503, Georgia 497 and New York 490. In the second stage of the interstate Jer- sey had 538, Pennsylvania 532, New York 530, District of Columbia 527, Georgia 500, Maine 502, this making the total New Jer- sey 1044, Pennsylvania 1036, District of Columbia 1030, New York 1020, Maine 1006 and Georgia 1003. In the Hilton match, seven shots per man, at 200, 500 and 600 yards, it seemed to be understood from the beginning that the fight was between Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. At 200 yards New Jersey broke the world’s record for that distance with 367, three points ahead of anything heretofore done by teams of twelve, Pennsylvania had 363, New York 350, the District of Co- lumbia 358, Maine 343, Georgia 341. At 500 yards the Washington boys crawl- ed out of the hole to a considerable extent by putt! up 373. Pennsylvania, however, maintained its dead, 381, while New York had 361, Georgia 359, New Jersey 359. At 600 yards excitement ran high among the spectators, because it was soon evident that the District team was much the stronger at that range. The first six of the: Washingtonians wiped ot Pennsylvania's majority, and for awhile it was neck and neck, but when the bugle sounded “vease firing” the keystone tion was six points ahead on the total, with the District second with 1982, New age third with 1072, New Jersey next with 1050, Maine fifth with 1039 and Georgia an honorable tail- ender with 1(32. F The best of feeling prevailed. Naturally, the Washington boys were disappointed at losing, but they were so proud of the tre- mendous score that the defeat was robbed of much of its sting. Gen. Ordway, Col. Mosher and Surgeon Gdneral Henderson witnessed the competitiong, Today the regimental toams are. doing their utmost.

In spite of its numerous handicaps, it made @ score far better than that of last year and but a few points behind the winners in both the interstate and Hilton trophy matches, I am indeed very proud of our riflemen.” “I am surprised that the team did so well,” was the way Capt. D, L. M. Peixot- to, adjutant of the first regiment; replied to the query of The Star man. “Th: spores made, under the circumstances, ‘were ex¢ef- lent, and I am more proud than, ever of ber ing a member of the D. C. N. G.” Capt. Horton, aid-de-camp on the brigade staff, had heard of the result when ap- proached by the reporter. “Of course I am very sorry that we didn’t win, but as long as we beat out New York I am more than satisfied,” said Capt. Horton, in great glee, when informed of the standing, “The New York riflemen glways put on a great many airs and consider themselves superior beings, so it must be a great humiliation to them to come out behind the District of Columbia in both instances. Maj. Harries and his followers did wonderfully well and they are a credit to the Washington sol diery.”” t Mr. Hanks had command of National Guard headquarters today in the absence of Gen. Ordway and Adjt. Gen. Mesher, who are both at Sea Girt. “The team has no reason to bo ashamed of its record,” said Mr, Hanks, “for without practice it has surpassed the excellent score of last year, which at that time was the highest ever made with one exception, Then there is much glory in the fact that we came out ahead of the great state oi New York, which has 3,000 men from whom @ team may be chosen, and is equipped wi! special rifles and ammunition, Pennsyl- vania’s team is selected from a field of 12,- 000 men, yet it beat us by but six vee bo Surely the District has every reason to feel proud of its team.” Lieut. Andrew Kelly, quartermaster of the first battalion, expressed himself simi- larly to the above. —_—_——>__ OUR SOUTHERN NEIGHBORS. ‘Topics of Interest in the South Ameri- can Countries.

The Popular Use of Books in Several Cities Where Libraries Are Open to the Public. Some interesting facts in regard to the libraries in New York, Boston, Providence and Newport were brought out in an inter- view in the Philadelphia Press with Harvey M. Hubbert. He is a member of the li- brary committee of the board of education of Philadelphia. and has recently returned from a trip of inspection of the libraries in the cities named. In speaking of his trip ne is reported as follows: “Everywhere tha free library scheme is taking a firmer hold upon the people. They are beginning to recognize what a power- ful factor this is in the education of the masses. “In New York I went to see the Free Cir- culating Library. It is supported entirely by private subscriptions. There are six regular branches, at each of which crowds go every day to get books. The city makes appropriations to the library in rtion to the circulation of its books. There are about 800,000 volumes in all in these six branches. One feature of this library es- ‘ally impressed me as being a good one. ‘he rules allow each guild, church or char- to have the privilege of ten books at a time. The books are chosen by the societies and sent in their care for those who Lemme tage them. This has opened a wonderfully large public and has consequently helped the movement greatly. Mother of the Movement. “Boston, however, is the mother of the free library movement. There the plan has succeeded wonderfully and over 1,000,000 books are taken out every week. To un- derstand the importance attached to free libraries there one must understand that the city bears all of the expenses of carry- em on, twenty-five Urpose, Fweon $50,000 and as much ag this city has put ip all its four free libraries put together. To climax it a which which is on Copely Square, in one of the most fashionable quarters of the city. The inscription say “<The commonwealth requires the edu- Soe yh ol ete geciiore ain aes rty,” “This shows that they consider the ll- brary the essential handmaii to pubile school work. Yet the libraries are not under control of the board of education, A board of trustees, appointed by the beard of aldermen, take care of all its affairs. “There is one thing that I noticed at all the libraries, and that is the catalogue system of choosing books is used. In that respect I think those who use our libraries have a decided advantage. Our system en- ables them to make a better choice and does not make them take something which may be entirely uninteresting to them. All of the libraries I saw had their books in closed shelves. . “Boston is far and away ahead of not only us, but all other cities, in its free librarjes., But. perbaps this is natural, as idea originated there and spread all through .the east. ~ “I stopped to see the Re@wood Library wport. This; like the one in New York, ig supported by private contribu- rtions, It-ts not a very large* library, and ig all contained in one attractive and com- plete building built for the purpose. It makes a specialty of collecting rare articles for a museum, which gets | eae) interested in such things. I spent a long time in the exhibition department and wanted to stay longer, but could not spare the time. It was very interesting indeed. With the Schools. “The last brary I examined was the one at Providence, which is supported by be- quests and donations. It is quite large and occuples the lower part of a large school building, » Like ours, it fs run in con- nection with the public schools and has a feature which I hope we will imitate. This brary sends to the public schools 2 series of books. as called for by the principais. Twenty books are sent at @ time, and they are used as supplementary to the text books wen an excellent idea and renal eR lila’ might emulate with “There is another thing that impressed me very forcibly, and that was that in the og up of the libraries for the conven- jence of the public our libraries here were Mm most cases superior and in all equal to all these big libraries, None of.them were more convenient or complete and most of them not so ornate as ours, 3 rather opehed their eyes in New York Boston when I told them that in one of our branch lbraries, the Wagner free library, at Montgomery avenue and 17th street, we had as many bocks in circul mn during ay, ag we had volumes in the li- brary, In fact, although we have just be- gun, this city was third in point of ‘circula- tion last mon’ “Iam going to recommend that the public schools here be given the same prit as those in Providence—that is, be allowed a certain number of ks a8 supplementary text books every week, I certainly favor a great enlargement of this important part of our educational system. We need more \braries and more money to run them with. All of the big cities are waking up to the importance of ent and ours can- not afford to shin: branch that was started here has been eyen a greater success m was anticipat and thi is only one thing ahead. “fied ope thing ut e big new building in ‘ton. It is the inscrip’ oyer the door in big letters: ‘Free to All.’ That ought to be over the doors of all of our Hbraries. It makes people feel at home.” ——+-o+__. Won by His Herotam. Engineer Wm.

Attorney General Molcney of Dlinois has prepared his amended petition in the quo warranto proceedings commenced by him against the Pullman Palace Car Company. The main additional charges made in the amended petition are that the Pullman Company, without charter authority, oper- ates a gas plant and brick works, supplies er and steam heat for pecuniary profit end maintains a “truck farm.” The sale of —— by the Pullman Company in its cars while in transit is also deemed by the peti- tion to be a diversion of its charter rights. The ownership of seventeen acres of unoc- cupied land south of Lake Calumet by the Pullman Company is attacked as real estate speculation. —.9o—____— Neo More Room for the Veterans, Under the direction of Gen.

Prof. Bischoff meanwhile played ap- propriately joyful strains upon the organ, and still the guests arrived in streams, un- til the tact of the ushers, who were Mr. Charles A. Boynton, Dr. James R. Church, Mr. Warren Smith and Mr. George L. Wil- kipson, was taxed to provide accommoda- tions for them. A glance over the bright sea of faces discovered those most promi- nent in social as well as political and bust- ness life, The popularity of the bridal — was tested the lai numbers of young Seels pronase ‘of whom valued either the bride or epee = ar cagh dl frowd, the event was distinctive for the private character with which the partic- ulars enumerated clothed it. in the edifice was Smo Soe it the sides o! sea! fc in The wedding march through th PFE carried a bouquet of as with lilies of the and maiden-hair fern, Mr, Noyes, wit his best man, Mr. Victor Kau! waited his in- tend step forward as she “eon a they turned to the minister, who performed the y, during which the harmony of “Oh, Promise Me,” under the skillful ot Prof, Bischoff, softly pervaded the church, At its conclusion Mr. and Mrs. Noyes left the church immediately, and at 3 o'clock left for an extended tour of north. Mr. and Mrs. William A. Rogers and Miss Dorothy Byrde Rogers were “at Lome” last evening to a house full of guests, at 1737 8 street, from 8 until 11 o'clock. The occa- sion marked the outgoing of the daughter of the household from under the paternal roof, for last night was the eve of the mar- of. Miss Rogere to Mr. Thomas C. Noyes. The guests, therefore, included not only the wide circle of acquaintances of Miss who came to bestow their best wishes and felicitations for the mor- row, but also the friends and associates of Mr. Noyes, who were happy to meet the prospective bride, and in doing so to neces- sarily congratulate him, The guests were received in the drawing room by Capt. and Mrs. Miss Rogers, Mrs. thers and Miss Carroth- ers and Mr. and Mrs. Dumont Rogers. Miss could not remain all the time, how- ever, with the receiving party, for she was in demand everywhere, in the double par- lors and the supper room, where a bevy of her young friends assisted in serving re- freshments. The rooms were appropriately decorated with cut roses and palms, and an orchestra was heard, but not seen, in the rear of the supper room. A surprise was given to hosts and guests alike by the unexpected appearance du the evening of the Marine Band, under Prof, Fanciulll, in front of the residence, which serenaded the party. This graceful action on the part of Prof. Fanciulli, in compli- ment to Mr. Noyes’ fiancee, was all the more appreciated perhaps because it was voluntary. # Those who came to the reception were not all young folks by any means, for the life- long friends of both families embraced the opportunity to meet agein Miss Rogers and Mr. Noyes, whom they had known from childhood, and to add their quota to the shower of good wishes which rained upon them during the evening. ar rep Social event will be the wedding of Dr. D.
