A Lamp at Dr. Goldsborough’s Set the Lace Curtains Ablaze. ‘There was a destructive fire in the house of Dr. Edmund K. Goldsborough, No. 1331 K street, about 6:30 o'clock last night, and it was only the remarkably good time made by the fire department that prevented the flames from spreading from the parlor to other parts of the house. The flames started in the front bay window, first con- suming the lace curtains, and then other drapery caught fire and was destroyed. So intense was the heat that a large mirror in the room was cracked and a valuable new piano destroyed. Fitzhugh Goldsborough, the doctor’s young son, rushed from the house to have an alarm turned in. He met Policeman John Garraway near the Cochran Hotel, and the officer’s call brought out several fire companies. The firemen ‘eached the house before the flames had burned their way from the par- lor, and, without flooding the house, the firemen succeeded in extinguishing the fire. The handsome wall decorations and costly rugs were destroyed. Besides these, many interesting works of art were destroyed. The loss is estimated at about $10,000, and is only partially insured. The fire was caused by the lace curtains coming in con- tact with a lamp in the parlor window. ——s———— COMMISSION. Its Organization Expected to Be Com- pleted Within a Short Time. The organization of the commission ap- pointed to negotiate with the five civilized tribes will be completed within a short period. The number of members was in- creased to five at the last session of Con- gress, but the two additional commission- ers have not yet been named by the Presi- dent. It is believed, however, that the commission, cs finally organized, will be as follows: Ex-Senator Henry L. Dawes, Massachusetts, chairman; Archibald S. McKennon, Arkansas, disbursing agent; Major Meredith H. Kidd, Indiana; Gen. Frank C. Armstrong, District of Columbia, end either ex-Representative A. B. Mont. gcmery of Kentucky or ex-Senator Mat- thew C. Butler of South Carolina. Gen. Armstrong was President Cleveland's first appointee of Indian affairs, but resigned recently to accept a private offer. He has since remained in Washington, and it is evrrent gossip among officials that he will fill one of the vacancies. There are a num- ber of applicants for the offices, and both ex-Representative A. B. Montgomery of Kentucky and ex-Senator M. C. Butler of Scuth Carolina are in the field. The first three were appointed in November, 1893, and commenced the negotiations eariy last year, their work meeting, however, with corsiderable opposition among many of the Indians. The offices pay $5,000 a year. The work of the commission will not be pecumey till the full organization is ef- ‘ecter ————_—_ Death of Wm. H. Chambers. William H. Chambers, superintendent of the temporary Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home of Washington, died suddenly Sunday. Mr. Chambers enlisted at twenty years of age in September, 1861, In company B, first regiment, Virginia volunteer infantry, aft- erward known as a West Virginia regi- ment. He served through the war. He contracted rheumatism in the service, from which for the past ten or twelve years he was a great sufferer and at times a help- less invalid. He was born in Jefferson county, Ohio, and reared there. He leaves several brothers and sisters. —_.__ Gas Engines far Street Cars. There is much information of a practical value in regard to the new system of pro- pelling street cars by gas engines contain- ed in a report to the State Department made by United States Consul General Car roll at Dresden. He gives illustrations oY the new motors and cars and detailed de- scriptions of the various parts, as well as statistics. The cars cost $3,570 each; one charge of gas runs them eleven miles; the gas supply is renewed in thirty seconds by a hose and the consumption is one-third of a cubic meter per kilometer of 3,250 feet, less than one cent. The consul generai says the system is attracting wide atten- tion, and many German cities are adopting it, as it is cheaper of operation than the trolley, and requires no overhead charged wires. o—_______ Obscenity in Newspapers. A case which has just been docketed in the Uxrited States Supreme Court will prob- ably test the length to which a newspaper can go in the use of objectionable lan- guage and still find access to the mails. The case is that of the United States against Dan. K. Swearingen, and comes to the Supreme Court on allegations of er- ror in the United States circuit court of Kansas, which found Swearingen, who was the editor of a paper published at Burling- ton, Kan., guilty of the improper use of the mails. The offense consisted in the publication of an article abusing an em- ploye of a rival paper, in which language ‘was used which the postal authorities pro- nounced obscene. ——-e-—_____ A Medal of Honor. A medal of honor has been awarded to Capt. J. C. Gresham of the seventh cav- alry for distinguished gallantry against thé Indians at the engagement at Wounded Knee in December, 1890, THE MORA CLAIM This May Complicate the Pending Controversy With Spain. LONG DELAY IN SETTLEMENT Continued Insistence of This Gov- ernment Upon Its Payment. THE NEW ORLEANS INCIDENT The unsatisfactory status of the cele- brated Mora claim against Spain is calcu- lated to aggravate the pending controversy between the United States and Spain over the Allianca incident. At any rate, it will complicate the situation and probably pro- long the settlement of either controversy. Maximo Mora was a naturalized citizen of the United States living in Havana. In 1870 the Spanish government condemned him to death and confiscated his estates. This government intervened and secured the admission that his sentence by court- martial, in his absence, was unjust and that the confiscation of his property was in violation of the constitution of Spain, and also of its treaty with the United States. Consequently, in 1873, the Spanish government ordered the restoration of Mora’s estates. The order of restoration, however, was not executed by the Cuban authorities. Finally, Spain compromised with an offer to pay ar indemnity of $1,500,- 000. This offer was accepted by the United States in September, 1886. Then another delay occurred. The Spanish government proposed to offset the Mora claim by other claims against the United States. Secre- tary Bayard protested against this propo- sition. In his letter to the American min- ister at Madrid, dated September 17, 1888, Mr. Bayard said: “It cannot be admitted that the payment of the acknowledged debt of the Spanish government in the case of Mora can, as the minister of state inti- mates, be ‘indeilnitely postponed’ until a disposition or a method of disposition shall have been reached of all the demands of Spain against this government.” Mr. Gresham’s Attempt. The case has ever since continued to be the subject of diplomatic correspondence. About a year ago Secretary Gresham un- dertook to bring matters to a focus. He mede a formal offer to provide for the arbitration of all outstanding and wvn- liquidated claims between the two coun- tries. He specified, however, that the Mora claim should not be dependent on the mak- ing of such an arrangement. Time rolled on without any conclusion in the maite! Abcut two months ago the Spanish min- ister of state wrote to Secretary Gresham or. the subject. He expressed the opinion that “‘when the occasion arrives the cortes will de disposed to vote the necessary credit for the Mora indemnity, provided such vote coincides with the decision of the United States to pay the pending Spanish claims. This was far from satisfactory to the administration, and the matter was re- ferred to the consideration of Congress. A House Report. ‘The House foreign affairs committee con- sidered it, and made a report, in which it said: . “It appears from the petitions of the Spanish syndics, Sainz and Aranguren, to the director general of the treasury In Havana, that they had deposited in the royal treasury, to the credit of Mora’s estates, up to December 3, 1877, the sum of $2,317,000, and that the estates were allowed to go to ruin because the treasurer refused to furnish the syndics with the necessary funds for repairs, taxes, or even the wages of the laborers on the sugar plantations. As Mora’s debts amounted to less than $800,000, the Spanish treasury had received more than enough to pay those debts, and the stipulated indemnity besides! The advantages of such a settle- ment to the Spanish government were ex- plained to the cortes by Senor Moret, the m:nister of state, shortly after the agree- ment of December, 1886, was made be- tween the two governments. The Spanish authorities themselves being judges, it would scarcely be possible for the United States to suffer a more grievous wrong or @ more evident denial of justice than this in the person of one of its citizens. Insisting on the Payment. Before the adjournment of the Fifty- third Congress a joint resolution was adopted calling on the President to insist upon the payment of the sum of $1,500,000 which Spain long ago agreed to pay in settlement of the claim of Mora. The res- olution was reported unanimously by the Senate committee on foreign affairs, passed unanimously by the Senate, and was pass- ed by the House without even a call for the ayes and nays. It would therefore appear that the posi- tion of our government on this case is per- fectly clear, and that further delay in its settlement would afford good ground for remonstrance. The New Orleans Incident. On the other hand, it is contended that the United States cannot consistently de- mand prompt action on the part of Spain in the Allianca matter, because of its own dilatoriness in similar offenses -against other foreign countries. A case mentioned as an illustration is the affair at New Or- leans in March, 1891, in which a number of Italian subjects were Killed. Four days after that lamentable occurrence the Ital- fan government called for appropriate reparation and indemnity, and Baron Fava, the Italian minister, acting under orders from Rome, undertook to press upon Sec- retary Blaine, then Secretary of State, the importance of prompt compliance with the demands of his government. Ten days after the assassination of the Italians Mar- quis Rudini, the Italian premier, telegraph- ed Baron Fava to again demand proper in- demnity, and, in the event of non-com- piiance, he said he would find himself “in the painful necessity of showing openly our dissatisfaction by recalling the minister of his majesty from a country where he is unable to obtain justice.” Baron Fava’s Recall. Two days later Baron Fava informed Secretary Blaine that Marquis Rudini would not admit any further delay con- cerning the answer expected from the United States, ‘in view of his mild and le- gitimate demands that the murderers of the Italian subjects at New Orleans be brought to justice without further delay, and that an indemnity be granted the fam- ilies of the victims.” On the 31st of March, 1891, seventeen days after the New Orleans affair, Baron Fava notified Mr. Blaine that, as the United States had not acceded to the demands of the Italian government, he had been in- structed to take his departure from Wash- ington on leave, his government having concluded that “the legitimate action of its minister at Washington had become in- efficacious.” Baron Fava’s recall left the Marquis Im- periall in charge of the current business of the Italian Jegation. Tg him Secretary Blaine addreSsed a note April 1, 1891, in which he expressed his regret at the min- ister’s departure and explained the com- plex difficulties attending a satisfactory re- sponse to Italian demands. In closing he defended the apparent delay on the part of the United States as follows: “I have repeatedly given to Baron Fava the assurance that, under the direction of the President, all the incidents connected with the unhappy tragedy at New Orleans on the 14th of March last should be most thoroughly investigated. I have also in- formed him that in a matter of such grav- ity the government of the United States weuld not permit-itself to be unduly hur- ried; nor will it make answer to any de- mand until every fact essential to a correct judgment shall have been fully ascertain- ed through legal authority. The impatience of the aggrieved may be natural, but its indulgence does not always secure the most substantial justice.” Indemnity at Last. The correspondence then ran on at length and dealt with all sorts of extraneous ques- tions resulting therefrom. In April, 1892, more than a year after the occurrence, Secretary Blaine wrote the Italian repre- sentative, expressing the official regret of the President and tendering an indemnity of 125,000 francs for the families of the victims... Italy accepted the indemnity with good grace and renewed its friendly diplomatic relations with the United States. it is argued in diplomatic circles that inasmuch as the United States government took nearly a year’s time for the settle- ment of that flagrant violation of inter- national comity, it cannot consistently charge Spain with any lack of promptness in having so far failed to make reparation for an alleged offense reported less than fifteen days ago, the proper investigation of which was delayed by unavoidable cir- cumstances, ++ THE CONGREGATIONAL CLUB. It Discusses the Matter of Forming Too Many Societies. The annual meeting of the Congregational Club Monday evening at the First Con- gregational Church was attended by a large number of the members. A brief business meeting preceded the banquet, and the fol- lowing officers were elected: President, Rev. S. M. Newman; vice presidents, Rev. J. B. Rankin, P. J. Chickering, Rev. M. Ross Fishburn and A. P. Eastman; secretary, G. A. L. Merrifield; treasurer, Alfred Wood; executive committee, the above named offi- cers and J. B. Johnson, J. W. Somerville and Elphonzo Youngs; outlook committee, Rev. B. W. Pond, W. C. Tyler, Loring Chappel, Rev. E. A. Johnson and B. P, Davis; nominating committee, Prof. Isaac Clark, N. E. Young, P. C.

At the head of the table sat Justice Brewer, the retiring president of the club. Under his guidance the literary part of the occasion gathered itself about the very practical subject expressed in the following theme: “The Benefits and the Perils to Re- ligion, Charity and Social Reform in the enero of Societies and Organiza- 0. Prof. Isaac Clark of Howard University said there were undoubtedly benefits by the multiplicity of societies. On the other hand, there was a danger in organization itself. An example of this was likely to be seen here in 1896,when 100,000 Christian Endeav- orers would be here. This tended to make aliig satisfied with organization as a re- ‘There was danger of taking some brilliant outward achievement as the highest result. Such was the polyglot petition of the Wo- men’s Christian Union, which should not be so’ taken. The highest result always must be internal, unseen, transforming. Mr. John Tweedale recited James Whit- comb Riley’s “My Philosophy” acceptably. Prof. Chickering made a bright speech, saying that some folks organized societies “just to see the wheels go round.” Miss Brewer sang with fine effect a love song, “Could I but Live With Thee.” Mr. P. B. Davis, continuing the discussion, told how he had seen 400 soldiers disperse a mob of 10,000. Organizations might be hurtful, such as were formed to force results or to use violence. He questioned whether secret organizations accomplished any good. Men’s organizations, for men only, are very ques- tionable. Women's societies are just as bad. The societies of the church are good, but let them remember that they are inter- Gependent and all subordinate to the ontise Ba iss ith Merrifield recited “.

To the Editor of The Evening Sui The writer observed that an alley between 9th and 10th streets northwest, near S, is being paved substantially. The fact that there are houses on but one side of the alley, while the street in front of these houses is curbed and has a concreted road- way, and every facility is provided for get- ting to and from these houses, while some of us have no such improvements, calls forth this inquiry. I would like to see every alley in the city well paved, but be- Heve that the streets that have never had any attention whatever should receive some consideration in advance of alleys that are used only in part, and not even fenced in, as in the case cited. The writer hereof has paid taxes for six- teen years for somebody's benefit on a piece of property fronting on a street, on which a 4-inch water main and an 8-inch sewer was laid twenty years ago by Mr. A. L. Barber, to accommodate two or three houses (without expense to the city). There are now nineteen houses connected with those two pipes, every lot on both sides of the streets, with one exception, being built upon. Is it any wonder that the water supply is poor, and that cellars are often flooded? In ‘winter neither the baker, grocer, milkman or doctor, let alone the coal man, can come near the houses. They must leave their conveyances on another street and get there the best they can, the street being impassable most of the time. We think we are fortunate if a dealer will take chances on getting a half ton of coal to us. In the face of the above the last board of assessors multiplied the previous assessment by three, thus increasing the tax 200 per cent on a lot in front of which the city had never spent a single penny. To cross the street to a neighbor's our children must walk two squares to keep out of the mud, and when it rains the sidewalk is covered with water, there being no way for it to escape, except up hill. With the above facts staring us in the face, the question is, Why is it? ELM STREET, Le Droit Park. —_—.—_—_— Took Provisions. Joseph Schladt, the hotel keeper on 824 street, has been robbed of so many provis sions from his kitchen and pantry during the last few months that he found it neces- sary to put locks on his gates to keep out dishonest persons. But he did not put a lock on the alley window, and it was through this opening that a basket of eat, ables, including meat, chicken, flour, lard and a can of cysters, were taken last right. Policeman Sullivan, who had been watch- ing the place, arrested Charles Houck, a colored man, whom he found with the articles.
