Corcoran House Will Be Closed for a ‘Week or So—Dinner at the Italian Embassy. Attorney General and Mrs. Olney will change their residence within a week or two to the Bellamy Storer house, southeast cor- ner of Rhode Island avenue and 17th street. The house is commodious and artistically decorated and furnished, and has a very large dining room and splendid entertaining facilities.. The studio, which is a feature of the new addition put to the house a couple of years ago, was a great attraction to its coming occupants, as the widowed daugh- ter of the Attorney General, Mrs. Minot, who makes her home now with her parents, has a decided talent for painting and will greatly enjoy the artistic surroundings to be found there. The Italian ambassador gave a cabinet dinner last night to celebrate the birthday of King Humbert. Baroness Fava, who has been quite ill for the past week with a stubborn attack of grip, was not able to be down, but Mrs. Mendonca presided in her stead. The dinner was a very elegant one. Senator and Mrs. Brice and their daugh- ters went to New York this morning and will be absent a week or two. They went to enjoy the latter part of the season of German opera.

Members Enjoy a Banquet — Several Toasts Responded To. = The Microscopical Society varied the character of its monthly meeting last Tuesday night by assembling at Freund’s and enjoying a banquet. After doing jus- tice to the elaborate menu, the president, Dr. W. W. Alleger, congratulated the mem- bers on the pleasant conditions under which they were met, spoke of the status of the society, the ‘scope of its work and its future prospects. Responses were made by Dr. Robert Reyburn orf “The Relation of the Microscope to General Education;” Dr. Cc. T. Caldwell, “The Early History of the Society;”” Dr. Seaman, “The Relation of the Microscope to Science,” and Dr. Thos. Tay- lor, ‘The Microscope in the United States Agricultural Department.” The Washington Microscopical Society was organized February 5, 1884, in the room of the late Prof. Paul, Central High School building, with a membership of fourteen, and D. EB. M. Schaeffer was chos- en its first president. On October 18, 1892, it was incorporated under the laws of the District as The Microscopical Society of Washington, D. C., and its membership is now about fifty. The present officers are Dr. W. W. Alleger, president; Dr. Collins Marshall, vice president; Dr. F. E. Maxly, corresponding secretary; Mr. L. M. Moor ~ recording secretary; Dr. E. A. Ballocu, treasurer; Prof. W. H. Seaman, curator. = Quickly Tried. Judge McComas and Assistant District Attorney Jeffords broke the record today in the matter of speedy trials of criminals. Two young colored men—Dennis Smith and William Wooden—were charged with sec- ond offense of petit larceny, in stealing wire from the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company last December. ‘They were tried separately, and all within half an hour they were convicted and sen- tenced. Judge McComas gave Smith two years and six months in the penitentiary ard Wooden three years, the additional six months being givea him because he went on the stand and swore he knew nothing whatever of the wire. The wire, it appeared, had been left ex- posed by the company back of its ware- house, and Judge McComas criticised Su- perintendent Todd for encouraging crimi- nals by leaving such property so exposed. Star of Hope Lodge. Star of Hope Lodge, I. O. G. T., held their regular weekly meeting at their hall, 1900 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, last night. Miss Ellen Vockey favored the lodge with a piano solo, with such fine effect, that an encore was required, after which she gave a recitation, which was enthusiastically received. There was a tenor solo by John M. McAvoy, which re- ceived an encore. Remarks were made by Chief Templar Barker of Morning Star Lodge, and a story recital was given by Robert Johnson, ——— Instructiows to Li Hung Chang. A dispatch from Shanghai says it is re- ported that Li Hung Chang, the Chinese peace envoy, has been instructed to con- sent to the payment of an indemnity and the cession of the territory already occu- pied by the Japanese, in addition to the Island of Formosa. He is also instructed to consent to the surrender of the remain- der of the vessels belonging to the Chinese scuthern squadron, which is now hiding at Nankin, : England and Venezuela. Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary secre- tary to the British foreign office, replying to William P. Byles, one of the Yorkshire members, who questioned the government on the subject of the trouble between Great Britain and Venezuela, said in the house of commons yesterday that the gov- ernment could not agree to submit to arbi- tration the question of Great Britain’s right to territory long settled and governed as part of a British colony. The govern- ment, however, was willing to submit to arbitration the question which had arisen regarding certain territory beyond the Schombufgh line, and, he added, the gov- ernment of Venezuela had received a noti- fication to this effect. —-+00. Swallowed a Jackstone. Little Minnie Frankel, a four-year-old child, was playing with jackstones on the front stoop of her parents’ house, at No. 290 7th avenue, New York, on Wednesday. Minnie placed one of the iron “jacks” in her mouth and tried to swallow it. It lodged in her throat. Dr. Stimson of the New York Hospital was called in and ex- ercised his skill, but the jackstone slipped down into the little girl's stomach. For a little while Minnie seemed to be better, but afterward the frightful agony which she suffered for six hours returned, and the child died early yesterday morning from exhaustion, 7. The United States deputy marshal ar- rested five mutinous sailors on the schooner Williams at Norfolk Monday, The Wil- liams drifted into port with distress sig- nals set. The mutineers had locked the steward in the cabin and gone without cooked food for three days. The Norwegian ‘System of State Con- trol Discussed Urged. ‘The School of Ethics ran up against a theme yesterday which infused life into what is ordinarily a very quiet gathering. It was “The Liquor Problem; Its Scientific Treatment,” and the lecturer was Prof. E. R. L. Gould of Johns Hopkins.. The scien- tific treatment proposed was the Norwegian or Gottenberg system, adapted to our spe- cial conditions and customs. A distinction was made between this system and the South Carolina plan, which some have thought to be identical, The latter, the lecturer said, is so involved in polities that it contains in itself grave danger of imper- manence. If it endures it will doubtless result in a strong political ring, based on the control of votes through use of the dis- pensaries. The Norwegian system is apart from political feeling or action, and places the control and sale of liquor in the hands of a system which rules out self-interest. Those who sell make no profit from it and derive no advantage of any kind from it. All profits are turned over to charitable uses, under the control of the state. The Scandinavian method is to give the state control and a monopoly by local commer- cial agencies. In Norway the statistics showed a reduction of alcoholism by one- half since its introduction. Dr. Crampton, chemist of the Department, in the conference which fol- lowed the lecture, stated the attitude of the United States government toward the alco- hol traffic to be simply one which concerned the revenue to be derived from taxing it. Its relation toward producer and dealer, he said, might be described to be that of a silent partner, who demands all his profits, but screens himself behind the men who dare deal in the thing itself, and avoids all responsibility for the way in which the trade is conducted. He urged that govern- ment could and should see to it that, if liquor was to be sold, it be pure. He had little faith in state control. —__<—___— THE OBSERVATORY CIRCLE. Property Owners Who Will Give Land for It Conditionally. Messrs. Robert I. Fleming, Philip Young, Robert Weaver and John W. Thompson, who own property adjacent to the site of the proposed observatory circle around the new naval observatory, north of George- town, called upon the Commissioners to- day and presented a plat of the proposed circle, showing the location of land be- longing to citizens which will be required by the opening of the circle. The delega- tion announced their willingness to convey the title in fee simple of such land as niight be needed for the proposed thorough- fare, provided it be opened to the public its entire length. As now planned the pro- posed roadway will run through the grounds of the Industrial Home School, the Froperty of the United States, and before the land can be occupied and a public highway opened the consent of Congress is necessary. The delegation left with the Commissioners the plat with the signatures of most of the property holders referred to attached, conveying the land for a public highway, with the understanding that the same will not be recorded until the consent of Congress has been obtained for the open- ing of the roadway through the Industrial Home School grounds. —_>___ Mexico’s Demand for tndemnity. Minister Mariscal of Mexico has com- pleted consideration of Guatemala’s last note, and has informed Guatemalan En- voy De Leon that Guatemala must recog- nize that indemnity is due Mexicans for property destroyed during the raid on Agua, Azul, Egipto and other ranches where Mexicans were employed, and who were driven out by Guatemalans or per- sons disguised as such. Mexico will not recede one iota from the stand originally taken.
