A fire which broke out between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning in the handsome brick building of the Columbian University, cor- ner of 15th and H streets, did considerable damage to the upper part of the structure. That the flames did not spread to any greater extent was due to the quick and energetic efforts of the firemen. The fire was first discovered by Police- man Emmert, who was standing about a Square away at the time. He at once ran to the box at the corner of 15th and G Streets, and, after turning in the alarm, he hastened to the university, where he roused the colored janitor. Chief Parris and Assistant Chief Lowe, with engines No. 1, 2, 6 and 7, truck C and chemical No. 1, responded. The fire by that time showed some signs of getting a good headway. It was not an easy one to fight, for It was up under the roof on the south end of the building, above the room on the top floor which is used by Prof. Munroe as a lecture room in chemis- try. Walter Lewis, the colored man who has been the janitor at the university for many years, and is regarded as a most faithful servant, assisted the firemen to lo- cate the flames, lighting the electric burn- ers on each floor as he went up. Then he went to work to save the property in the chemistry room. He removed all Prof. Munroe’s books and papers into an adjoin- ing room, so that none of them were lost or damaged. The smoke was very dense and hindered the labors of the firemen considerably. Un- der the direction of Chief Parriss they en- deavored to put out the fire with the use of as little water as possible. In this they succeeded, so that the ceilirg of the main lecture hall, which was directly below, was but little wet. A good-sized hole was burnt in the roof, and Prof. Munroe’s room was pretty well dismantled; but that was the extent of the ruin. The amount of damage done will not be known until carpenters and plasterers contract for the repairs, but it is thought that $1,000 is a generous esti- mate. The fire occasioned a good deal cf excitement among the guests of the Hotel Page and the occupants of the adjoining houses. The origin of the fire is not cer- tain, but the presumption is that it was caused by a defective flue. It was first thought to have resulted from the breaking or crossing of the electric wires, but all the wires in that part of the building were found to be in good condition today, and the electric lights were all in perfect work- ing order. —— STABBED HIS BROTHER. Strother Committed to Jail for Attempted Fratricide. Isaac Strother, a young colored man, was committed to jail from the Police Court today for a hearing on a charge of stab- bing Jacob Strother, his brother. They live on 12th street northwest between Q and R streets, and early last evening there was a quarrel in the family, and soon after mid- night the trouble was renewed. Isaac, it is charged, used a knife and inflicted a wound in his brother’s left breast. The wound is not regarded as serious, but Isaac will be held until the result of the injury is definitely known. AGAINST SOUND MONEY. Isaac ppesition to the Memphis Conven- tion. The movement in opposition to the sound- money convention to be held in Memphis May 23 assumed definite shape yesterday The Central Bimetallic League of Ten- nessee was organized; a silver convention, to be composed of delegates from the south and west, was called to meet at Memphis June 11 and 12, and extensive plans were outlined for the pro tion of the doctrine of free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. A manifesto, which is to be widely circulated, was issued. Congressman Bryan of Omaha has accepted an invitation to address a mass meeting in Memphis on the evening of May 21, immediately following the sound-money conven- tion, the ich will be an ex- pression by Secretary Carlisle of his views upon the financial question. The leading advocates of free silver from both houses gf Congress from states that are ex; ‘to send delegates to the June meeting will be invited to address the meeting.

NOT CREDITABLE The Course of the Administration in the Corinto Affair, WARSHIPS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT Unjust Criticism of Certain Officers of the Navy. WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN The administration, in the Corinto mat- ter, is not thought to have been fortunate in some of its champions, and particularly in those who have been sneering at both the public press and the navy. Newsffapers independent enough to control their own columns have been accused of willfully mis- representing for sensational purposes the attitude of the United States in the prem- ises, while the excuse given for the failure to send ships to the scene of disturbance has been the fear that some hot-headed American tar with gold cord on his coat might lose his balance and do something indiscreet. The talk in spots has been ex- treme and sufficient to warrant any for- eigner unacquainted with and unable to get at the real facts in concluding that the American press, as a whole, must be under very disreputable control and the American navy ofticered by a cheap set of brawlers and swaggerers. Newspapers Can Take Care of Them- selves. The newspapers, there is a modest belief, can take care of themselves in this con- troversy. They have given the news pretty faithfully and accurately, and their com- ments on the affair have been warmly sus- tained by public sentiment. That they are in debt for nothing to the State Depart- ment is not regarded as thelr fault. ‘The State Department, as usual, retired into its shell as soon as the contention got to be interesting, and neglected a very valuable opportunity to assist in keeping the public properly informed. This action did not surprise the more experienced of the news gatherers, who have come to-look for it from the present administration whenever information is valuable, and, from the everyday standpoint, there seems to be an especially geod reason why it should be given out to the properly accredited news bureaus. Official news censorship is hardly more severe at times even In Russia. And yet, in the face of this, certain champions of the administration condemn those jour- nals which, disregarding this censorship, get the news from other sources and have the temerity to print it. ‘Why do the newspapers le so in- quired an official of the State Department to a newspaper corresponent recently in discussing this subject. “They are studying diplomacy,” was the reply. The subject was not pursued. Criticism of the Navy. Friends of the navy, while resenting the feeling that prompts the criticism of that arm of the public service, derive a certain comfort from the criticism itself. They agree that the navy ought not to be called in to help settle any controversy until it has reached the acute stage. The states- men and the diplomats should first have failed. But when the navy is called in it ought to be in thoroughly resolute hands. Hot-headed men may not make the best of commanders, but a head too cool to get interested in a controversy is not de- sirable on the shoulders of a sailor. If a sailor is to err—and even Lord Nelson wes not superior to the infirmity—it ought not to be on the side of a too marked dis- cretion, He is put aboard of his ship to fight her when the time comes, and the more of a willing soul he is to do that the better for his side of the controversy. But, as friends of the navy point o sailor may be all of thi per for scrapping’s sake. Simply b he is a iman of quick and steady does not militate agai i points where ticklish business Is in pro- gress. President Harrison, whose expe ence as a soldier has taught him much, was greatly comforted when he found the assignments in Chilean waters were so sat- isfactory when the United States was in dispute with Chile. He wanted the best men on the quarter deck there, and when he was informed that those who were there were men to tie to he backed them up to the hilt in their constryction of their duty. The American navy, it is pointed out, came out of that affair with flying colors, and one officer in particular won great distinc- tion. This same oflicer, too, the present sneerers at the navy seem to forget, is in high favor with President Cleveland, al- though duck-shooting expeditions have af- forded him of late no opportunity to ad vance his professional reputation. Should Hrve Sent Ships. It {s still insisted upon that it was im- peratively the duty of the administration to send ships to Corinto as soon as it was known that English ships were on the way there. This could not have been construed as a menace by England, even from the administration’s point of view. The Eng- lish program was circumscribed, but it opened up great possibilities of trouble. The stay of the English admiral would be brief if the Nicaraguans would promptly pay up. A day in port migat suffice for him to discharge his mission as a collector of smart money, but if that should fail and his services as fighting man should be called into requisition, the end or the full consequences would not be in the power of anybody to prevent. The Nicaraguans might make a stubborn r nee, and all interests, of whatever nationality, in end around Corinto, might become imperiled. And suppose they should, American inter- ésts among the rest; were Americans to look to the English admiral for safety and protection? Were they to huddle together under the folds of the Ei ish flag, and draw rations from an English larder No Credit to the Administration. That things so far have gone as well as they have at Corinto on the score of the safety of life and property is nothing to the credit of Mr. Cleveland's administra- tion. -The English admiral has had a clear field, and might have wiped out the little town,any day since he anchored in front cf it for all there was any American force at hand to protest or restrain him. use courage efulness at co RAILWAY MEN. ‘VENTION OF Met to Arrange the Summer Schedule for the F sylvania’s Connections, Representatives of the various roads coming into Washington over the Pennsyl- vania railroad tracks held a-meeting at the Baltimore and Potomac station this noon to arrange the summer schedule. There were present President Myers of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac road, General Manager Stevens and Gen- eral Passenger and Ticket Agent Fuller of the Chesapeake and Ohio, General Superin- tendent Green of the Southern Railway; Messrs. Prevost and Hutchinson of the Pennsylvania railroad, Mr. J. R. Kenly, general manager of the Atlantic Coast Line; Col. § manager s ) lor, traffic manager Richmond, Frederic burg and Potomac road; J. R. Wood, gen- eral passenger agent of the Pennsylvania road; al Superintendent Green of the South H. Hardwick, assistant gen- eral passenger. agent of the Southern; Mr. Maxwell, general manager, and Mr. Mac- Donnel, ‘general passenger agent of the Florida and Peninsula railway; J. B. Mor- ton, superintendent of the Pullman Car Company; Messrs. Kenny and Brook of the Pennsylvania road, and Messrs. White and Vickery of the railway mail service of the Post Office Department. The business before the meeting was to arrange connections between the trains of the various roads. The Chesapeake and Ohio, Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto- mae, Southern and Atlantic Coast lines all ylvania tracks from Alexan- a hington and the Baltimore and Potomac station in this city. The usual summer schedule was adopted with slight and unimportant changes. The Southern road will add to its usual schedule several more daily trains to meet the grow- ing demands for communication with Alex- andria and suburban points like Falls Church, Carlin’s, Herndon and Vienna along the Washington and Ohio branch. Five trains a day each way will be run after the 12th of this month. nger IGHCAS THE OFFICIAL EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 a.m., 75th meridian time.

For Virginia, fair in western portions, local rains in ‘eastern portions today and tonight, showers near the coast Saturday; warmer in the interior tonight; generally northeasterly winds. A storm, which promises to develop con- siderable strength, is moving slowly east- ward over the northwestern states.

I think he will have the delegation from this state.” “Corporal” Tanner agreed With the secre- tary in regard to Gov. Morton, and said: “J think the republicans will win in 1896, if they concede something to silver. The west and part of the northwest are for silver. If the party ignores this vast section, it will not have an easy route to success. % DOCTGRS GRADUATE. Commencement ercises of Colum- bian Medical Department Last Night. Metzerott’s Hall never looked prettier than it did last night. It was the occasion of the seventy-third commencement ex- ercises of the medical‘department of Co- Iumbian University. The hall was decorated with flags and bunting, and the stage was one mass of flowers. Long before the exercises com- menced every seat in the hall was taken and hundreds were turned away. Taken altogether it was the most successful com- mencement in the history of the college. Thirty-seven graduates, the largest class in the annals of the college, received de- grees. After a prayer by the Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smith, Rev. Samuel H. Greene, president of the university, made a few remarks, in which he traced the his- tory of the college, and took occasion to Say that the year just closed was the most successful in its history. He introduced Dr. Walter Reed, the new professor of pathology and bacteriology in the coilege. Dr. Reed delivered the address to the graduates. He paid a high compliment to Columbian,and spoke of the records already made by graduates from her medical de- partment. Some excellent advice closed the address, which was greeted through- out with applause. Dr. Edward E. Richardson delivered the valedictory in a very acceptable manner, and then Dr. W. W. Johnston distributed the prizes. Dr. Edward E. Richardson captured the first prize, $50 in gold. Hon- orable mention, Drs. J. H. Stone, George T. Prewitt and Fannie C. Brewer. The H. L. E. Johnson gyneocological prize was won by Dr. H. L. Spaulding. Dr. Wm. A. Tyler captured the Dr. Ruffin prize for medical jurisprudence. Dr. J. H. Stone won the faculty prize for clinical medical instruction, and Dr. W. D. Fayles won the prize for dermatology. Dr. Greene, in conferring degrees to the following graduates, announced the fac- ulty had conferred an honorary degree of M. D. upon Prof. E. A. de Schweinitz: Fannie Brewer, Maryland; DeWitt C.

NOTREGARDED AS A GREAT DIFFICULTY Italy Makes an Offer to the United States. CHINA SOON TO RATIFY 8ST, PETERSBURG, May 3.—A semi-offi- clal statement has. been issued -here deal- ing at length with the situation of affairs in the far east. It declares that the main- tenance of the status quo on the Chinese mainland is a political necessity whatever be the issue of the present struggle. ‘A realization of the Japanese claims would entirely abolish the fictitious inde- pendence of the Coreans and place in Ja- pan’s hands the key to China’s capital. Moreover, it is added, Russia and France would be compelled in their own interests to ward off their frontiers any cause for permanent uneasiness or serious crisis. Continuing, the statement says that Ger- many has the development of her commerce in those regions too much at heart to see without misgivings German commercial houses exposed to continual disturbance. These three powers, which have communt- cated their views to Tokio and know how to enforce respect for them, do not intend to deprive Japan of the fruits of her vic- tories; but her civilizing progress will soon- er or later be menaced with destruction un- less It is based on the principles upon which rests the concord of civilized nations. PARIS, May 3.—The Japanese minister, in an interview published in the Figaro today, is quoted as saying that the intervention of the other powers in the arrangements for peace arrived at between China and Japan is only a small difficulty. China, he adds. has every interest to ratify the treaty and leave Japan to arrange matters with the European powers. The minister also said that the Japanese most desire the payment of an indemnity and commercial conces- sions upon the part of China to Japan. LONDON, May 3.—Independent advices have reached this city from China which confirm the statement that the Emperor of China has agreed to ratify the treaty of peace, : NEW YORK, May 3.—A cable to the World from Tokio, Japan, May 2, says: ‘The government of Italy has offered to join the government of the United States in cn effort to avert by mediation the threatened conflict between Japan and the three Euro- pean powers—Russia, France and Germany —who protest azainst the ratification of the treaty of peace because it provides for the ceding to Japan of the Liao Tung peninsula, in the Chinese province of Shingking. What Will Japan Do? LONDON, May 3.—The Vienna corre- spondent of the Daily News learns that in Tokio opinions differ regarding the next step to be taken by Japan. Part of the cabinet wishes to ask the powers to pro- rose the manner in which Japan might obtain compensation for giving up the Piao Tung peninsula. A minority of the cabinet wish to negotiate direct. In Russian diplo matic circles in Tokio it is believed that an agreement might be reached if Jap: should receive, instead of the Liao Tung peninsula, the Russian islands of Saghalien, China compensating Russia for giving ur the islands by ceding territory to her in Manchuria. The Vienna correspondent of the Stan- dard telegraphs: “I am told that the Jap- anese deciare that it 1s impossible for them to yield to the dictation of Russia, and are making their preparations accordingly, Large orders have been placed in several Kuropean countries for war material, and Japanese are busy in the dockyards of Eu- rope and America buying warships, mostly small, swift cruisers. No respite will be ai- lowed China for the ratification of the treaty. The march to Pekin begins the mo- ment the armistice ends. As regards Rus- sia, her claims will be politely waived, and it will then be imperative that the allies bring matters to an issue.” A dispatch to the Standard from Paris says that the general manifestation of French opinion against any active inter- vention by France to coerce Japan has had salutary effects. The Mot du Ordre has been given that the intervention of France was always meant to be purely diplomatic and expostulatory. China Will Ratify. TIEN TSIN, May 3.—The Emperor of China has decided to ratify the treaty of peace negotiated at Shimonoseki by the representatives of China and Japan. Ac- cording to the arrangements, the ratifica- tions will be exchanged at Chefoo, on May 8. The mikado ratified the treaty on April 20 last. Prince Kung, president of the Chinese council of ministers, and head of the for- eign office, who has been absent from his duties, on sick leave, for some time past, will now resume active control of the gov- ernment departments under his supervis- fon. SHANGHAI, May 3.—In accordance with a special imperial edict issued in order to prevent the possibility of the Japanese entering Pekin, the Chinese have cut the river embankments near Pekin. Miles of territory have been flooded and hundreds of Chinese have been drowned. The British minister to China, Mr. N. R. O'Connor, has gone to Pekin to make an attempt to recover from the Chinese gov- ernment the arrears of pay due to foreign- ers. who were serving in the Chinese army previous to the outbreak of hostilities. It is reported in Tien Tsin that the Ger- man syndicate, which took up the indem- , has failed to negotiate a loan with . and it is stated that the Hong Kong Shafighai Bank is making arrange- ments for this loan. YOKOHAMA, May 3.—The Japanese deie- gates, Count Ito, president of the council of ministers, and Count Myoji, the Japan- ese envoy, who were proceeding to Ch in order to exchange the ratifications of the treaty of peace, have been ordered to wait at Port Arthur until the Emperor of China ratifies the treaty. dese eg Transfers of Real Estate.

GRAND TRUNK OFFICIAL Insomnia No Longer a Terror of the Hard Worker While Paine's Celery Compound Exists—Mr. N. J. Grace Speaks in Praise of It. One of the clearest-complexioned, best-l in Boston today, says the Boston Giessen inent New England agent of a great railroad, who uses Paine’s celery compound spring and fall, and whose wife and children take it daily during the spring months. : Mr. N. J. Grace of the Grand ‘Trunk is a modest man, one of the best-liked gentlemen in Boston, and a thorough railroad man. When asked about the merits of Paine’s celery compound he said he believed in it thoroughly, had used it himself and in his family for two years With the most gratifying results. “My boys are using it now,” he sald, “and I believe there is no better spring medicine than Paine's celery compound. A touch of rheumatism first urged me to try it, and times after that, when run down, as most every one is at intervals through the year, I found that it revived the vital spark and made me feel better. Never in all my expe- rience among men have I heard a remedy so highly spoken of. Friends of mine have used it with splendid results for dyspepsia and ver complaint, while for insomnia, a neighbor of mine tells me that it will banish it in a night.”” Mr. Grace 1s one of the healthiest-looking men ta be met with in Boston today. For fully thirty Years he has been with the Grand Trunk, yet in all his lfe he never looked better or enjoyed more freedom from pain than he does today. He is one of the thousands in this clty who have rezson to believe in Patue’s celery compound. FINANCIAL.
