After the exercises in the Opera House had been concluded the members of the tribe, members of the press and a number of invited guests repaired to the Odd Fel- lows’ Hall, on North Columbus street, where a handsome collation, consisting of all of the delicacies of the season, was served. The following toasts were propos- ed and responded to: “Improved Order of Red Men,” by Thomas K. Donnell: of Pennsylvania; “Great council of the United State: by Andrew H. Patton of Boston; Great council of Virginia,” by James P. Lash; “The press of Alexandria,” by Lu- ther H. Thompson.

More than one dozen prisoners appeared in Judge Kimball's procession of guests this morning, but there were very few full-grown men in the party. There were two colored men in the line, who answered the names William Banks and Anthony Garnett. Policeman Muller arrested them because of what he had heard others say, but then he failed to get any proof against them. This couple appeared in the lead when court opened, and a man named William Gordon, a resident of Cullinane’s alley, appeared against them. They were Gordon's guests last night and when he wanted to go to bed he asked them to leave. “But they wouldn't go,” court. He charged that they were disorderly and that some profanity was used, but his several witnesses failed to corroborate his statement. The prisoners denied the charge and were acquitted. Next in line came two boys, who gave their names as James McHugh and William Byer. The former, who is about sixteen years old, says he came from Richmond, while Byer says his mother lives at 85 South Orange street, Newark. Last night the boys went to the second precinct station and asked for lodging, and being unable to give good accounts of themselves they were held. “Well, boys,” said the judge, after he had heard their statements, “will you leave town if I release you?” “I can’t go back home,” said Byer, the younger of the boys. “Why not?” the judge asked him. ‘lL don’t know the way. ‘ou knew the way here,” the judge told him, “and why don’t you know the way back?" “I came here with two boys, and they left me.” . “Do you want me to write to your mother?” “Yes, sir; but that won’t do any good, for she ain’t got no money.” He was sent down and the judge will communicate the facts to his mother. “I'l leave here if you let me go,” said McHugh. “Will you leave before noon today?” ‘I will if I can.” “There's no reason why you can't,” the judge told him. “You have a good pair of legs and the weather is good.” He left. ‘he said to the A Long Tramp. Michael Gross, a German who says he has been tramping since October, stopped in on his way from Richmond to Philadel- phia, and came near having a striped suit put on him. = “He's German, and can’t speak good English,” said Bailiff Kendig, and Police- man Mohl volunteered to act as interpre- ter. “He spoke good English yesterday,” in- terrupted the officer who made the arrest, “And he officer speaks good German,” added the court. “We are fortunate in having # police force that speaks all lan- guages.” ‘The prisoner then said he had been prom- ised a position in a Philadelphia brewery. Michael was not anxious to remain here, and the court released him on his personal bends, telling him he had better stop beg- ging. Policeman Vermillion apologized for hav- ing in court a colored infant named Eu- sene Burr, on a charge of having partici- pated in a crap game on Virginia avenue. “I didn’t know he was so small,” the cf- ficer said when the little boy appeared and Was scarcely able to see over the prison rail. E The policeman’s apology was accep‘ed, and the boy’s father was told to take him home and paddle him. An older boy named John Cox, who was arrested at the same time, was fined ten dollars. ames Curtis was convicted on the evi- dence of two neighbors. Charlie Ward and ary Bird were the witnesses who swore it him. He was disorderly,” sald one of them. nd I heard him cuss,” said the other. Jim did not deny the charge, and the t fined him five dollars. John Taylor, a colored man whose re- spectability Is not questioned, was in the pro ion for a violation of a District or- dinance. The alleged violation took place out in the county at a late hour last night, and was witnessed only by Policeman Kennedy and his partner. “Have you ever been arrested before?” the man was asked. “Never been arrested In my li night.” he answered. “and t time I've ever been in court. He was released. ‘Three colored until last is the first women and two boys They were in a house that was raided last and the women were charged with . Profanity was the charge 1inst the boys. Some were held and others were dis- charg brought up the rear of the line. found Se PEPUTIES IV AN UPROAR. Shrieks, Threats Challenges in the French Chamber. From the New York Sun. As a theatrical exhibition the French chamber of deputies takes a high rank. It is usually in the melodramatic form, and ° ally, if one is to believe the Paris newspape jtement rises to a pitch to which nothing in this country fs to be compared unless it is the proceedings at a primary convention in a downtown « of this city. It would arouse consid- able criticism in this country if the sentatives in Congress stood up on eats and shouted at the speakers, ionally varying the performance by ting their vocal energies toward one s and vituperations empha- sized by much stamping of feet and flour- ishing of fists, while the presiding officer added to the tumult by frantically ringing a big bell. Yet this is what happened re- cently in the French chamber of deputi The occasion ardly fitting for s nonstration. The question before was an appropriation for a funeral for Marshal Canrobert. bill was introduced by the new min- ster of war, and then there was trouble. A young deputy named Hubbard arose to -t. He excited the emotions of his one of the Paris jour: EE iting texts and papers without prov- nything, bringing up unpleasant mem- 1 indulging in the most bitter re- ng a single dir another in oat h the na- lence."" e greeted this rem: sheuted: “You ought to keep still then.” At this the center and right shrieked with glee. M. Hubbard started to reply, but was interrupted by piercing yells from those who had just been applauding. These yelis were intended to indicate disapproval. M. Hubbard lifted his voice to meet them, and a contest of vocal powers ensued. Some of the extreme left jumped up on the seats and, brandishing their fists in the air, called dcwn the vengeance of the powers upon the interrupters. Just as M. Hubbard was be- ginning to make himself heard some en- terprising deputy leaped toward the ceil- ing and hurled at him an unpleasant epi- thet that rang out loud and clear above the din. M. Brisson, the chairman, seized his big bell, designed as a call to order, nd began a solo upon {t of which only disjointed notes could be heard. Finally it was d ‘overed that M. Hubbard, who was purple in the face with the energy of his speech, was making remarks deroga- tery to the late marshal. This made him unpopular, and a few hints from his hear- ers apprised him of the fact. “Foul beast!” “Dog of a countryman!” “Down with him. Let the dead rest, cur that you are!” “Tt is treason! Coward! Scoundrel! Mi- said his say, although with some difficulty, M. Hubbard stated that it would give him great pleasure to slay, slaughter and chop to bits each and all of the sewer rats who had dared to stretch their slimy throats in interruptions to his speech, and to do it Individually or collectively, as best suited them. Then he sat down. A wild roar of objurgation greeted his re- tirement. M. Ribot, who had been saving his voice for the occasion, arose and said: “The government, which is the govern- ment of France—” “Down with him! Police! Separate them! Let ‘em go!” It was only a threatened fight on the floor which didn’t take place. soe Acts Approved.

LATE SPORTING NEWS TO TAKE A MAIL VOTE. —+ts Views of the Western Turf Congr. on Alexandér’ Island. Secretary Gwynne R. Tompkins of the Old Dominion Jockey Club of Virginio has returned from St. Loui’, where he had gone on behalf of his clup to see the mem- bers of the western, turf congress. He visited the representatives of the Oakley, Latonia and Louisville-race tracks, and he says that they all were in favor of ad- mitting the Old Dominién Club into the congress. He also had én interview with President Moffat of tHe ‘western turf con- gress, who also is saif to'favor taking his club into their fold. President Moffat has authorized Secretary "Hépper to have a vote taken on the matter'by mail. The Old Dominion’simeeting, which was to have opened up on March 1, may not open until the 4th, although the time has not been decided on yet; it may not open until the second week in March. The track is now in excellent shape with the excep- tion of the first turn. Superintendent Stran- han has his men out on the track every day, and when the meeting opens the track is expected to be in first-class condition. In case the Old Dominion Club decide not to begin until the St. Asaph track opens, the Baltimore Jockey Club will take the dates, and instead of stopping Thursday week’ will continue until either of the tracks in Virginia open. AN INTERCITY WHIST TOURNAMENT. Washington to Compete With Balti- more, Philadelphia and New York. The whist players of Philadelphia have offered a suitable prize for an intercity whist tournament, the cities to compete being Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and Washington. Each city will be rep- resented by two teams of four players éach, and the contests will take place in each city. The Washington teams come from the Capital Bicycle Club, which in- cludes in its membership some of the best whist players in the country. The local teams consist of Messrs. Wooten, Barrick, Lowe and Carr, and Quackenbush, W. S. Harban, L. L. Harban and McComb. These players go to Philadelphia this evening and play the teams there tomor- row and in New York on Saturday. The Baltimore teams will play In New York tomorrow and in Philadelphia on Saturday. The game will be regulation duplicate whist, eighteen hands ta be played in the afternoon and elghteen in the evening. The New York and Philadelphia teams will play here in March. Mr. Lindley Fogg, chairman of the whist committee of the Capital Club, will accom- pany the local teams, and will probably take part in some of the games. The Washington whist players have great con- fidence in the teams that will represent them, some of the players having taken part in the national contests, in which the Capital Bicycle Club made such a remark- able record. The club has difficulty in selecting teams for a tournament because it has so many crack players in its ranks. Barnie After ‘Two Senators.

The postponed games in the District League between the teams of the Young Men’s Catholic Club and the Washington Athletic Club will be bowled off on Sat- urday evening on the alleys of the former club. Fred Pfefter’s Case. Fred Pfeffer reached Louisville yesterday afternoon from the south. He will leave for New York today to attend the league meeting, and thinks he will be reinstated. He says he wants vindication and not a chance to play, as he will coach the Prince- ton College team. Charlie Byrne is inclined to think that the thousand or more names that Fred Pfeffer has to his petition for reinstate- ment will not frighten the league. He says: “It Pfeffer comes back into the league he will come on his hands and knees. There will be some heavy condi- tions depending upon his return. ‘The league has more at stake in this than ap- pears on the surface. The league itseif cannot act on any application for Pfeffer’s reinstatement; it can only make a sug gestion or a ‘recommendation to the n: tional board, which has entire control of this case. If the matter comes up, which it is certain of doing, there will be a lively discussion.” The Carrolls Won. The Carroll Institute basket ball team defeated the Washington Athletic Club team last evening at Carroll Institute in the presence of a large gathering, and gained second place in the District League tournament. The popularity of this ex- cellent indoor sport has become estab- lished. The line-up was as follows: Carroll: Positions. Washingtons. C. She! -Enemy’s goal. Bradley Eekart . Right forward .

Private notice was sent yesterday to each last year’s players on the Harvard ’Varsity foot ball team to meet at the gymnasium yesterday afternoon. The men responded, and on their arrival they were put through a series of indoor exercises, and then taken for a run. No explanation is given of the strange procedure, but as the team is not usually called together for the practice un- til late in April, it is thought it has some upacknowledged bearing on the critical foot ball situation, Harvard Not to Row Pennsy. The boat race between Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, which was be- ing arranged for, has been declared off, Harvard having decided that, in view of the contest with Yale, it would be impos- sitle to get ready for a race with the Penn- sylvania crew.

Mutsa Regards Him and the Chinese Envoy: The Japanese Weekly Advertiser of Janu- ary 19, which was received here in the mails today, contains the following inter- view with Viscount Mutsu, minister for foreign affairs, concerning the Chinese peace envoys and Mr. Foster: i “It is true that the Chinese government has ordered Chang Yin-Huan to visit this country in the capacity of an envoy to né- gotiate some terms for the establishment of peace, and that it has engaged Mr. Fos- ter as an adviser to that envoy. That this has been done the government has ascer- tained beyond all possibility of doubt. I am very mucn satisfied with the advent of Mr. Foster, who is my personal friend. With him as adviser there would be no such re- ctions in our course of action as would obtain in case we were negotiating with the Chinese government alone, which in- stitution is irregular and procrastinating in its methods. It would not be the correct thing for a civilized nation to send back an envoy without listening to what he had to say. Mr. Foster is an experienced diplo- matist, and his presence will expedite the negotiations very much. It is useless to expect to settle the matter with Chinamen alone, When the unimpeachable character of Mr. Foster is considered, and also the feelings of Americans, it must be believed that Mr. Foster would not attempt to forc- ibly induce this country to any terms of peace. He will only introduce to the Japan- ese government the proposition of China, and, before the opening of the negotiations, he will ascertain from our government whether the terms for peace proposed by China may be acceptable, and he will do nothing beyond this. Such a preparatory step is very necessary before entering upon any negotiations with Chinamen. Without such an introduction from Mr. Foster we would be uiterly in the dark as to what capacity Chang was coming in, and what terms he was bringing with him as a basis whereon to negotiate a treaty of peace.” United States Minister Baker, writing to the State Department from San Jose, Costa Rica, says that the government has granted a large and valuable concession of lands to the Keith syndicate, chiefly r.ade up of British, who will construct a railway in Costa Rica and open up a new and valuable section of country. Over a Mion dollars of the internal debt of the country has been paid recently, but the paym of interest on the foreign debt has ceased, the country asserting that it cannot stand the immense drain of £102,000 annually, and proposing that the foreign holders reduce the principal and interest by one-half. oo oe Admiral Mende at Barbadoe: Admiral Meade, with his fleet of evolu- tion, has arrived at Barbadces from St. “A thing well begun is half done.” The best half Oats.
