Dr. Holub’s Interesting Lecture on the Martabele and His Warfare. Dr. Emil Holub, the eminent naturalist and African explorer, lectured yesterday for the recond time in Washington before a large audience in the National Rifles’ Armory, met under the auspices of the National Geographic Society. Dr. Holub’s first lecture here was delivered last year, and is remembered with especial pleasure by those who heard it. Yesterday's sub- ject was ‘The Zulu Maatabele: His Method of Warfare and Modes of Travel.” Dr. Holub is a man of large, robust presence, and is so pleasingly in earnest in his nar- rative that his lectures are fascinating from beginning to end. He lectured yester- day for over an hour and a half, giving a distinct idea of the geography of the various tribes of South Africa, and de- scribing in lively and realistic detail the physique, the weapons, characteristics, homes, tactics and methods of the Maata- beles. He divides the South African vatives into two grend divisions—the Hot- tentots, who are an inferior and unwarlike people, and the Zulu-Maatabeles, whose king, Umselekazi, with but forty soldiers and sixty slaves left after a terrible battle with the Dutch Boers in 1837, had turned Fimself upon the native tribes in the in- terior, and had conquered and established a kingdom that survived him and endured until zbout a year ago, when thepEnglish had subjugated the Maatabele chief or king, Lobengula. Dr. Holub on his second expedition, ac- companied by his wife, who is an excellent markswoman and an accomplished taxi- dermist, collected over 900 skulls of large mammals, 514 skins of large species of mammals, 2,264 birds and bird skins, 900 eggs, 702 mollusks, 543 reptiles, and about 35,000 other specimens in zoology. At the close of the lecture a number of excellent stereopticon illustrations of some of these specimens and of views in Africa were shown. Dr. Holub will soon depart for Europe end engage fn his third expedition through southern Africa. This evening at the Cosmos Club Prof. Mark W. Harrington will lecture, under the auspices of the Geographic Society, cn “Some Physical Features of Lake Superior.” —_.—_—__ MANY INSANE PEOPLE. Sanitary Officer Frank Had a Busy Day. Sanitary Officer Frank had a big day's work yesterday looking after the cases of crazy people and cranks, some of them res- idents of this city and others non-residents. One of the victims was the Rev. William McGarrity, a Catholic priest from Phila- delphia, who was not at all violent, but whose mind is affected to the extent that he needs hospital treatment. He had come over from Philadelphia two days ago, and at an early hour yesterday morning he was found wandering about the streets in the neighborhood of 20th and I streets. When two policemen met him he asked to be shown the way to the Catholic University, saying he would show the officers the way to raise the colored people from starvation to the thrones of the earth, While in the station he became almost unmanageable and managed to tear off most of his cloth- ing before he could be restrained. Later in the day Detective Gallaher took him to Philadelphia. Wesley Merchant, another of the several unfortunates, was arrested yesterday after- noon by Policeman Clinton, who found him near Pennsylvania avenue and 6th street southeast. Wesley, who belongs in Balti- more, and who claims to be a political friend of Senator Gorman, had his pockets filled with coal and had as many tin cans as he could carry in his arms. He imag- ined he was going to be appointed captain of the guard at the jail and said he was going to pay his board with the coal and tin cans. He will probably be sent home late this afternoon. Alexander White, the colored man arrest- ed in the “Division” early yesterday morn- ing with a big revolver in his possession, after he had discharged it several times, and William Wiggins, also colored, who imagines he control the winds, were also adjudged insane. Then, too, there were two women examined, one white and the other colored, and both were adjudged fit sub- jects for hospital treatment. Thomas Kelly, a citizen of Ireland, who has been in this country only a few months, w also examined and determined insane. He is an inmate of the work house, and his mission on earth is to whiten the skin of the colered people. He will be sent across the branch. Late last night the police arrested Mr. J. Wallace Barnes, the whisky drummer. He was found at his home, on Vermont ave- nue, and the officers took him away be- cause of his threatening language. Mem- bers of his family feared he might put his threats in_ execution. Barnes has had mental trouble several times, the result of strong drink, and this time two physicians certified that he is in- sane. Today he was taken to the Police Court, and because of the physicians’ cer- tificates the charge against him was nolle prossed and he was sent to the asylum for treatment. —_— St. Mark’s Friendly League. The anniversary service of St. Mark's Friedly League will be held in the Church of the Ascension April 24, the eve of St. Mark’s day, and some 200 vested choristers, with Mr. William H. Daniel as director and Mr. F. E. Camp as organist, will ren- der chorally every prayer. St. Mark's Friendly League is an organization, chiefly of young people, for missions, charity and worship. It has branches in several par- ishes in this city and several parishes else- where. Beside parochial meetings and meetings of its central board several times a year, it holds its anniversary service, which, through the aid of many of the choirs of the Episcopal churches, has been made not only a missionary event, but also a very impressive musical service. This annual gathering of the several choirs in part impelled the formation of a choir guild, and some steps have already been taken toward its organization. More than twelve choirs, aggregating almost 300 voices, have agreed to join the guild, and its organization may be completed soon after Easter. —=__ Cruelty to Fowls. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Sta: It would seem to me that the Humane Society might find a large field for its la- bors by observing the cruelty to dumb creatures in certain sections of the city. Having occasion to visit 10th street be- tween Pennsylvania avenue and Louisiana avenue today I was shocked at the manner in which fowls were crowded into the coops on the sidewalks. In one coop, in addition to the packed-in live fowls, were two dead ones, and the wonder is that there were not more of the latter. This was orly on one side of the street, and was only observed in passing by. I have no doubt that inves- tigation would reveal much more of this cruelty to animals, which is inexcusable, and should be severely punished. Will not the members of the Humane Soctety look into this matter? SYMPATHY. Local Atlanta Exposition Board. The Cotton States and International Ex- position Company of Atlanta, Ga., through {ts executive board, has created a commis- sion for the District of Columbia, to pre- pare, manage and transport to Atlanta all exhibits gotten up by the colored people of Washington. The commission consisis of Chief Commissioner Jesse M. Lawson and Messrs. T. L. Jones, B. E. Cooper, H. E, Baker, A. F. Hilyer, W. S. Montgomery, GW. Cook, James H. Meriweather, Hugh M. Browne, C. A. Fleetwood and J. E. Johnson. SAMOAN AFFAIRS Report of the Commission to Adjust Claims to Lands. ONLY EIGHT PER CENT CONFIRMED Only Nineteen Bona Fide American Subjects in the Country. FRICTION WITH CONSULS States, under the provisions of the Berlin treaty, to adjust and settle all claims by aliens @® lands in Samoa. The final meet- ing of the commission was held December 5, 1804, at Apia, and its reports were turn- ed over to the chief justice of Samoa, as required by the treaty, and are now in his custody. These reports includ> all the title papers to Samoan lands, and are of con- siderable value. They give in detail the history of each of the 3,942 claims investi- gated. Of these claims 1,422 were German, 1,757 British, 307 American, 326 French and 150 miscellaneous. The total claims aggre- gated 1,691,893 acres, while the islands only contain 950,000 acres. Only 8 per cent of the claims were confirmed. The British claims amounted to 1,250,270 acres, owing to the fact that cne man, under a large number of deeds, claimed practically the whole of the island of Savali, which con- tains nearly half of the acreage of the en- tire country. This same man also held large claims in other islands, but all ex- cept about 15,000 acres of his claims were - rejected. Americans and Their Claims. The vast bulk of acreage claimed by Americans was also rejected, because of the manifestly inadequate consideration given for it, and because the titles were defective under several of the provisions of the treaty. Abcut 21,000 acres were con- firmed to Americans. Most of them belong to a corporation composed of San Francisco stockholders. Mr. Chambers says he heard of only 19 bona fide American subjects in the country, exclusive of officials, and does not believe there are thirty Americans there all told, including those who claim citizenship through raturalization. He says there are several well-to-do Americans,engaged prin- cipally in mercantile pursuits, one of whom is the wealthiest man in the country. Some of these are married to native women, and probably will never refurn to the United States for that reason. “I have beer thus explicit in reference to the property owned by Americans, as well as to the number of Americans in the country,” continues Mr. Chambers, “in order that the department may know cur relationships to Samoa, as they were developed in the ccurse of the investiga- tions into land titles, and because I con- ceive it my duty to let our government paged how insignificant such interests real- ly are.” As to Pango-Pango Bay. In reference to Pango-Pango Bay, Mr. Chambers says that the claims of the United States goverrment were examined and confirmed, but that they are by no means so valuable as the American pub- lic seems to think. What are thought to be the most valuable parts of the shore of the bay have never been acquired by the United States. The harbor is so deep and the bay so small that not more than three or four ships could be anchored there in case the wind was blowing either into the mouth of the harbcr or off shore. He recommends that if our rights are con- sidered to be really of value, steps should be taken to acquire such additional rights as may make those already held of use. He argues, however, that the station is not likely to be of further use and thitks the advisability of making further invest- ments there should be fully considered be- fore taking any further steps in the mat- ter. A Serious Misunderstandinz. From other official correspondence in re- gard to Samoa, it appears that in August, 1894, a serious misunderstanding took place between Chief Justice Ide of Samoa and the foreign consuls stationed there, the Chief Justice claiming the right to be pres- ent at certain conferences held by the consuls and being deried admission by them. - In a letter on the subject to Secretary Gresham, Baron Saurma, the German am- bassador in this city, uses the following language: “As to the view taken by the imperial government, it regards this case as furnishing aGditional evidence that a many-headed administration of Samoan affairs is in the long run untenable, and that it must lead to constant friction, even supposing the officials there to be guided by the most upright and conciliatory feel- ings. It appears, beyond a doubt, from the chief justice’s memorial, that his inten- tions are the best, but it also appears with equal clearness that under present condi- tions @ well-ordered administration of affairs and a well-ordered situation will not be reached.” The Banished Chiefs. Baron Saurma wrote to Secretary Gres- ham in reference to the wives and families of Samoan chiefs held as prisoners at the Island of Jaluit, and in February he wrote again in regard to their subsistence. Secretary Gresham replied on February 16, declining to assume one-third of the expense of maintaining these people, and inquiring how long their banishment was to continue. He says it was never the in- tention of the Unitel States to co-operate in any permanent detention of the chiefs, and that if this is contemplated this gov- ernment must earnestly dissent. “In the government's judgment,” he say “ample punishment has already been ii flicted on the malcontent chiefs, and it may be gravely questioned whether the government of the United States may with propriety longer participate in the expense of their banishment.” The Short Story Club. Wednesday the Short Story Club met at 610 H street northwest, the residence of Mrs. L. A. Crandall, one of its ex-presi- dents. ‘The evering was called a members’ night, as there was much business before the club for discussion. This trangacted, there followed a brief but interesting pro- gram. Mrs. Florence Barringer rendered a vocal solo, and Mrs. Crandall’s original con- tribution ‘was a poem, depicting in “Dr. Margaret Grey” Cupid vs. Science. Mrs. J.8. ‘mond,accompanied by Mrs. Heath, rendered “The Robin's Song.” Miss Sarah Huddleson, in “Short Stories,” caught bright glints of sunshine from real life, which she wove into a charming web. Mrs. J. 8. Townshend pleased with “The Creole Love Song,” Mrs. Dora T. Voorhis read an amusing bit on “Sure Signs.” Mr. Whit- taker read a seasonable sketch, entitled, “Happy Spring.” A social intermission was enjoyel, during which refreshments were served by the hostess, assisted by Mrs. EB. F. Hort. Guests present were Mrs. et Wolford Hartman, Mrs. 8. A. Heath, Col. J. H. Dewees, U. S. Heath, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond, Mrs. H. J. Durfee, Miss B. U. Sherwood, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Carroll, Mrs. Stevens and a full attendance by club members. ——— Funeral of Father Delaney. The funeral of Rev. John T. Delaney, who died yesterday, will take place from Holy Name Church, corner of 11th and K streets northeast, at 10 a. m. Monday next. Solemn high mass will be sung by Rev. Jno. Gloyd, pestor of St. Patrick's. Rev. Fr. Andries of Baltimore will preach. Since Father Dela~ rey’s father, who died while he was stationed in Baltimore, is buried together with other members of the family in St. Peter’s cem- etery on the Liberty road, Baltimore, the {nterment will be there. it was expected that Mgr. McColgan, vicar general of Bal- timore, who sent the deceased to collegé, would attend the funeral, and the aged priest will be among the mourners, if pos- sible, but his health 1s so pocr, that it is doubtful if he can ccme to Washington.
