MEMORABLE SCENE AT FRIEDRICHSRUHE Heaping Laurels on Germany's “Grand Old Man.” GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS FRIEDRICHSRUHE, Germany, March 26.—Emperor William, who left Berlin for this place at 8:20 o’clock this morning, ac- companied by the crown prince, left the special train near the village of Aumuehle, where he mounted a horse, and, attended by a brilliantly uniformed staff, rode quick- ly to the spat selected for the assembling of the troops who had been detailed to do honor to Prince Bismarck. The troops con- sisted of a squadron of the Haeberstadt cuirassiers, of which regiment Prince Bis- marck, as honorary colonel, wore the uni- form yesterday; the seventy-sixth infantry regiment, a squadron of the fifteenth hus- sars, all with colors flying and their regi- mental bands in attendance, and a battery of the Holstein artillery regiment. With Emperor William at its head, this force was marched to an open space in Prince Bismarck’s park, and upon arriving there the trcops were deployed in parade order. Prince Bismarck had come in an open carriage, and wore the uniform of the Haeberstadt cuirassiers. The officers sa- luted, the troops presented arms, the bands played patriotic airs and the emperor wel- comed the prince with the greatest hearti- ness. : His majesty then took up a position in front of the troops and delivered an ad- dress of congratulation to the prince. Then, in the name of the army, the em- peror presented Prince Bismarck with a sword of honor of antique form, richly em- bossed and inlaid with gold. In presenting Prince Bismarck with the sword of honor, Emperor William, refer- ring to the presence of the cuirassiers, said that he handed him the gift In recog- nition of his deeds, adding: “I could not have found a better present than a sword, whether as the weapon cf the ancient Germans or as a symbol of never-failing resource, and ‘pon it are engraved the united arms of the reichstag. May your serene highness look upon this as a token of gratitude for deeds recorded in history, which were brought to a con- clvsion’ twenty-five years ago. Let us, cemrades, shout a hurrah for his serene highness, Prince Bismarck, Duke of Lauen- berg.” After this ceremony, Emperor William, accompanied by Prince Bismarck, drove along the ranks of the troops, the prince returning the salutes with evident pleas- ure. When the inspection was cver Prince Bismarck went to his house, and, while he steed on the terrace, from which he «d- dressed the reichstag and landtag dele- gaticns yesterday, the emperor led the cuirassiers past the front of the house und back again. His majesty afterward en- tered the castle and lunched with Prince Eismarck, the cuirassiers mounting guard outside the building, and the artillery re- maining as a guard of honor on tie parade ground. From that spot the artillery fired salutes when the signal was given that the emperor had proposed the health of Prince Bismarck. At the luncheon Emperor William pre- sented Bismarck with a seal from the writing table of his grandfather, Emperor William I The railroad station, post office and cll the houses of the Friedrichsruhe and its neighborhood were decorated vith flags in honor of the emperor's visit. Sa DISORDERLY HOUSES. Keepers of Two of Them Fined by Jadge Miller Today. When the police told Judge Miller this morning that Chinamen had been frequent- ing Louisa Worthington’s house on Mary- land avenue Lawyer Carrington said he did not care to raise a diplomatic question. China, he said, has all the trouble it can look after just now. The officers said that the house was also visited by Italians, and the place has been the scene of many fights and disorderly gatherings. Counsel entered a plea of guilty to a charge of keeping a bawdy house, and asked that the court im- pose a fine. Louisa told the court that she came from Stafford county, Virginia, and had lived in Baltimore nine years. Several months ago she came here and has been conducting this house, and now she is go- ing to give it up and enter some respectable ‘business. If she does not succeed in this she will return to Baltimore. During the discussion of the case one of the officers stated that it was their inten- tion to rid Maryland avenue of all these houses. This particular house is near Ist street, and Mr. Carrington made some remarks about these houses being so near the Capi- tol. Judge Miller imposed a fine of $100 or sixty days, and informed the woman that a repetition of the offense will mean a severe jail sentence. ‘There was a similar charge against Lucy Clark, a colored woman, whose house is on Maine avenue between 3d and 416 streets, and Mr. Shillington represented her. In making a plea for the imposition of a small fine he cited the case of a woman named Buchanan, who had been fined $50, and said he thought this case merited nothing more than that. The raid, he said, was made because of complaint made by a Pennsylva- nia avenue saloonkeeper’s wife, who had been informed that her husband had fre- quented the place. She investigated the re- port, and, finding it untrue, had written a letter explaining how she had been imposed upon. Judge Miller heard what Sergt. Daley and his officers had to say about the case, and during the discussion it was said that there are respectable families living in the same square and they have been complain- ing of the conduct of the women in the dis- reputable houses. The court made a few comments on the case and imposed a fine similar to that im- posed in the other case. —— THE BNAI BRITH. The Supreme Officers Banqueted Montefiore Lodge. Montefiore Lodge, No. 49, Improved Or- der B'nai B'rith, welcomed the supreme offi- cers of the order Sunday on their annual visitation at Oppenheimer’s Hall.

Forecast till eight p.m. Wednesday.— For the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, fair; cooler Wednesday mori- ing; northwesterly winds, becoming varia- ble. The storm central Monday morning north of Lake Ontario has moved eastward to the lower Saint Lawrence valley, attended by showers, changing to snow flurries in New England and the lake region, and fol- lowed by a marked fall in temperature in the Ohio valley and over the great lakes. A storm, which has advanced from the North Pacific, is central north of Montana, and will move eastward, causing warmer, southerly winds in the central valleys and the lake region Wednesday. In this section of the country the weath- er will continue fair, with lower tempera- ture tonight and Wednesday morning and higher temperature Thursday. Snow Nearly All Gone. The reperts of snow on ground at 8 p.m. March 25 show that the only portions of the country covered with more than traces are northern Vermont and along the north- ern shore of the upper Michigan peninsula. In the last named section there remain from three to eight inches, eight to twelve inches having disappeared during the past week, while portions of northern Vermont have four inches. At the corresponding date of last year the southern limit of snow touched the upper Ohio valley, western Pennsylvania having a depth of three inches, and the northern portions of the country from central Mon- tana east to upper Michigan were covered with depths exceeding six inches, there be- ing twenty-one inches at Marquette, Mich. Ice in Rivers and Harbors. Much ice has disappeared during the week. The Missouri river is now open northward of Pierre, South Dakota, but ice is still intact from Bismarck north- ward, and the Hudson is free. from ice from Albany southward. All reporting stations on the great lakes show consider- ably less‘ice than last week, the special re- port from Mackinaw City indicating that navigation will be resumed by April 15. The following special reports were tele- graphed by weather bureau officials on the evening of March 25: Lake Superior.—Duluth, Minn.: Ice soft- ening slowly; twelve inches thick in lake, in harbor twenty-four, except near chan- nel; passage cut to West Superior and fer- ry running. Marquette, Mich.: Harbor lake shore clear; fields broken ice occasionally seen during week far out in lake. St. Mary’s river.—Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.: Ice in river twenty-two inches thick and still solid enough for heavy teams. Straits of Mackinaw.—Mackinaw City, Mich.: Warm rain Saturday evening and warm southwest wind Sunday softened ice; in places straits are free from ice, but the larger fields remain solid; it is not thought navigation will open earlier than April 15. Lake Michigan.—Milwaukee, Wis.: Mil- waukee river and harbor entirely clear of ice. Grand Haven, Mich.: No ice in har- bor and river; drifting fields in lake, but broken up; navigation unobstructed during week.

BOTH ARE AT WORK National Fencibles and Morton Oadets Begin Hard Drilling. Preparing for the Interstate Compe- titions at Memphis — The Rules, Regulatio and Prise Money. Both the National Fencibles and the Mor- ton Cadets last evening began drilling in preparation for the big interstate drill to be held in Memphis in May. Capt. Domer had a full company at work in Convention Hall for two hours, while Capt. Shilling maneuveret about the streets with forty- five Morton Cadets. Both organizations will drill every night, Sundays excepted, until the time for departure for Memphis. There has been considerable wrangling between Memphis and St. Louis as to which city should have the Galveston cup at its drill, St. Louis having recently announced that it contemplates holding an interstate competition in July. The matter of where the cup is to be contested for is, according to the rules governing the trophy, in the hands of the adjutant general of Texas. Claims have been presented to that official by both Memphis and St. Louis, but today a. dispatch from Memphis announced that the Tennessee city has been declared the successful contestant. The rules governing the drill are just at present of greatest interest to the Wash- ington companies which will strive for glory and cash on the Memphis drill field. Bayonet exercises are excluded. One hour. will be allowed each company in each class for inspection and drill. Immediately upon the sounding of assembly each company in the order assigned to it will march upon the ground and its inspection by the judges will begin. Following the close of the in- spection the drill will begin, and from that time each company will be allowed forty- five minutes in which to complete its pro- gram for that drill. All movements must be executed in the order of the arrangement of the program furnished, and movements once passed cannot be taken up again. Time lost by delays in marching upon the ground after the assembly has been sounded will be de- ducted from the time allotted for the ex- ecution of the program for the drill. If programs be executed in less than the al- lotted time company commanders may drill their-companies in any extra move- ments desired, except bayonet exercises, to fill out the time allotted, and due credit will be given for the same. But move- ments executed after the sounding of the recall will not be scored. The commanding officer of each company will receive his program of inspection and drill one hour before the time assigned to his company. The acceptance of the pro- gram will place him on his honor as an officer and a gentleman not to consult any book, notes or persons whatever as to the movements containcd therein, and not to take any undue advantage of other com- mands in any manner whatsoever. At the end of the drill he will be required to sign in ink a certificate, which will be placed at the end of the program embodying the obligation. No squad or part of a company shall be permitted to enter the competition for best disciplined company. The competitioa for the best-drilled individual soldier will be judged by all the captains in the en- campment whose companies are repre- sented, who shall arrange for the basis upon which the competition shall take place, and who shall establiSh the system upon which the score shall be kept. For the information of companies enter- ing the competition President R. C. Graves and Cashier James Nathan of the Man- hattan Savings Bank and Trust Company of Memphis certify that the company of which they are officers agrees and binds itself to pay the prizes awarded at the interstate drill and encampment, to be held at Montgomery Park, Memphis, May 11 to 21, upon the order of the proper officers of the executive committee, in accordance with the award of the judges, to the ex- tent of $17,500, on and after May 21, 1895. —__—_.—_—__.

Much Fear Felt—Rechabites’ Visita- tion in West Washington—Other Notes of a General Nature. The Rev. Mr. J. B. Stitt, pastor of the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church, is lying very ill at the parsonage on O street. His cerfinement is the result of an attack suf- tered yesterday morning, while present at the regular Monday meeting of the Metho- dist ministers at the Foundry Church, Washington. For a time it was feared that the reverend gentleman had been stricken with apoplexy, and grave appre- hension was felt. All during the early part of the morning session Mr. Stitt had taken a very active part in the discus- sions. He seemed unusually interested. Near the close of the meeting, and during a talk relative to the Southern Methodist conference, which convenes in a few days at Baltimore, he arose and moved that the conference under which Washington ‘s holding send formal greeting. His resolu- tion was adopted unanimously. As soon as he sat down those near him, among them Rev. Mr. Rice and Presiding Elder Wilson, saw his head suddenly droop and his body lose its rigidity. He sat for a mcment perfectly limp, his eyes glassy. Realizing that something serious had hap- pened, Elder Wilson, without making Mr. Stitt’s condition public, asked for an ad- journment of the meeting. When the room was cleared it was seen that Mr. Stitt was very seriously affected. Immediate medi- cal attention was given him. Then a cab was called. As soon as the ill man had been placed in his bed at home he -was seized with a violent convulsion. He writhed in its grip with the greatest pai and then began to vomit. Relief follow Toward evening he began to recover, ani at night had gained consciousness. His brain became comparatively clear, and he recognized and spoke to those about hfm. Today Drs. Appleby, Peter and Sowers will hold a consultation in regard to the minister’s condition. Mr. Stitt has been a victim to kidney trouble for some years. Mr. Stitt’s son Fred, a student at Dick- i-sen College, Pa., was at home when his father was stricken. He had come on a brief visit, and been persuaded to stay cver until the afternoon. The minister had breught him home through a telegram, feeling unusually desirous of seeing him. ‘ibis morning the reverend gentleman was reported as resting easier. < Annual Visitation. The semi-annual visitation of the officers of the Grand Tent of the District took Place last night in the headquarters of Heber Tent, No. 19, I. O. of Rechabites.

The officers were found well up in the work of the order. Under the “good and welfare of the order’ speeches were made by W. E. Mundell, T. Spillman and J. Welch of Columbia Tent, A. K. Belt and G.

There is much hesitation in Harlem (to the west of town) over building operations, due to the fact that no lines have ever been run for the street extension, and own- ers are in a quandary where to locate their houses. Buliders would have much to do in Harlem if the owners of property did not fear that almost any construction would be removed in a short time. The engineer department, through the running of a few lines, could largely add to the improvement of the place. Notes. Mr. S. Thomas Brown, who has been ill for some weeks, is now on the mend.

CAUSE OF THE DELAY IN THE WORK Will Commence When the Frost Gets Out of the Ground. DEPARTMENT IN EARNEST ——+_—___ The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has finally concluded to repair the causeway of the Long bridge in accordance with the recent suggestions of Major Davis, the army engineer officer in charge of the Potomac river improvement. The causeway is in a most deplorable condition at pres- vent, the lightest fall of rain transforming it into a veritable pool of mud to the depth of from five to ten inches. The so- called repairs, consisting of a deposit of clay and gravel in the deep ruts, have only aggregated the case by converting empty holes into sloughs of mud. Major Davis has repeatedly called attention to the un- satisfactory state of affairs, and has re- minded the company that its grant of the bridge required that it should maintain the structure in good condition. He also forwarded to the company at Philadel- phia a copy of a petition received by him from many merchants and business men using the bridge, protesting against its present almost impassable condition and urging him to take steps to compel the railroad company to remedy the situation. Maj. Davis’ Letter. In an accompanying letter he said: “The roadway, owing to the raising of the flats to the northward, is now too low and should be raised and graded in the manner asked for by the petitioners, the present method of dumping on a layer or two of gravel being but temporary at best ard of doubtful utility, as the road is not properly drained. I have to request that you give this subject your careful consideration.” This letter was written on the 14th in- stant, and, ro reply having been received within a reasonable time, Major Davis again wrote to the company on the 19*h instant, saying that he had received fur- ther complaints about the condition of the bridge, and requesting tlat the matter receive immediate attention. Promises of the Company. This letter seemed to have had a good effect, for a few days later the local en- gireer of the railroad company called on Major Davis and said he had been in- structed to inform him that the causeway would be properly repaired as soon as the ground dried sufficiently to permit it. He explained that it was proposed to raise and grade the road so as to do away with the present cause of complaint, but said that the work could not be done properly until the frost was out of the ground. Major Davis said he thought such repairs would be satisfactory to the parties using the bridge, and- that he recognized the necessity of a delay in the work for the reasons stated. The Department in Earnest. It therefore appears that there will be no Present occasion for an appeal to the courts to annul the charter under which the railroad uses the bridge, because of the failure of the company to live up to its agreement to “maintain it in good condi- tion for ordinary travel.” It is said that the War Department was in earnest in this matter, and that it would have gone to the full extent of the law, in case it was necessary, to bring the railroad company to terms in the premises. Maj. Davis is Satisfied that the railroad company is sin- cere in its promise to put the causeway in good condition, and will allow them a rea- sonable time to do it. All that he asked in the matter was that the road be raised and graded, and the company has agreed to do that. And there the matter rests for the present. ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS, The Alexandria Infirmary and Other Local Matters. The annual report for 1894 of the Alexan- dria Infirmary, which is a charitable insti- tution, has been submitted to the public. The report shows the receipts to have been $8,499.86, while the expenditures were $2,- 1, leaving a balance on hand at the end of the year of $612.55. During the year there were ninety-nine cases treated, sixty- seven of which were free patients, and most of them were surgical cases, which were successfully treated. There were six- teen cases at the infirmary at the close of the year. The infirmary has attained an assured and secure position, but the manage- ment is anxious that it should become a state institution, and the legislature will be appealed to for aid. The present offi- cers of the board of management are: Mrs. W. J. Boothe, president; Mrs. John P. Rob- inson, vice president; Miss Colcohoun, sec- retary, and Col. Arthur Herbert, treasurer.

Perkins described the region along the Columbia river, showing numerous beauti- ful views with the stereopticon. Professor Diller described the extinct volcano craters on the Pacific coast, and showed one that had been in a state of eruption within the last two hundred years, as was shown by the condition of trees in the vicinity.

Jan5-tt ‘ARD N. BURNS, 1307 F st Won't Go Friday. Henry Kidd, a colored jockey, who came here two days ago, made a mistake last night in going to church instead of taking a trip to Jackson City. He was filled with bad liquor and had a pistol in his pocket when he met a friend and went with him to a churen on 5th street. Harry did not go to sleep and snore, as did some others who went to church in Georgetown a few nights ago, but there was something amus- ing about the service, and when he laughed too loud a policeman was called and he was locked up. When the patrol box was reached Harry was seen to put his hand in his hip pocket and the officer relieved him of a loaded pistol. “Where did you get the pistol?” Judge Miller asked the prisoner. “I brought it here with me from Baltl- more,” was his response. “What are you doing here?” “I only came here on a visit,” the colored jockey replied, “and I'm going away Fri- day.” ot next Friday,” said the court. “You have to go to jail for ninety days.” a He Was Released. Richard Phillips was illegally arrested in Georgetown last night by Policeman Trus- sell, and Judge Miller took occasion to make scme remarks about the affair. The arrest was made on what purported to be a warrant issued by Justice Oliver P. Johne son, but which was not a proper writ, for the reason that there was no signature ate tached to it. A woman named Julia Har- ris mgde the complaint against him. After calling the policeman’s attention to the illegality of the arrest, Judge Miller dis- missed the charge against Phillips, New York, Chicago and New, 03. aplo-tr nw. =
