The Knights Templar of the -city will this evening observe Ascension day by attending special services. The four com- manderies—Columbia, Washington, De Mo- lay and Potomac—will unite in attending a special service to be held at 8 o'clock in St. Mark's P. E. Church, Capitol Hill. A committee composed of Henry J. Wylie and Josiah Shaw of Columbia Command- ery, Adam H. Gaddis of De Molay Com- mandery and Charles H.

The rector ‘of St. Mark’s, Rev. Andrew J. Gra- ham, will deliver the address.

An interesting exhibition of fancy danc- ing was given at the Carroll Institute Hall last night, under the auspices of Miss Christina May Freeman’s dancing classes. A large number of the pupils in her junior classes took part in the exhibition. Miss Gardener took the role of May Queen and Miss Fannie Edwards, a “wee tot,” carried off the honors of the evening. She appeared in various roles and won great applause in the bat dance and the sailor’s hornpipe, receiving the gold medal for proficiency. Miss Freeman also executed a number of intricate movements before the members of the class, and at a late hour the “floor was cleared for dancing by the older folks, Confederate Memorial Day Celebration and the Program.

E. Lee Camp Confederate Veterans will visit the various cemeteries around the city, where flowers will be strewn on the graves of the gallant boys who wore the gray lying there. In the afternoon there will be a big parade, in which R. E. Lee Camp Confederate Veterans, Sons of Vet- erans, the Alexandria Light Infantry, the Columbia Fire Company, the Relief Hook andLadderCompany and other organizations will take part. The procession will traverse the principal streets, and stop at the con- federate monument, where the following program will be carried out: Prayer, by Capt. K. Kemper, chaplain of the camp, and this will be followed by Rev. Mr. Dun- naway’s address. During the exercises the choir, under the leadership of Mr. Henry K. Field, will sing the following selections: How Firm a Foundation,” ‘America” (adapted for the occasion), “Home of the Soul” and “Eventide.” After the exercises at the monument the procession will move to Christ Church yard, where the veterans will place flowers upon the graves of their departed comrades, and after the sounding of “taps” by the bugle the exercises will be ended. The Third Regiment and Friendship Drum Corps of this city, and the Fourth Artillery Band of Washington arsenal will furnish the music for the occasion. The armory of the Alexandria Light In- fantry will be open all day tomorrow, when flowers, to be used in the decorations, will be received. Olde Folkes Singers.

No damage was done. ee AN EX-ARMY OFFICER Interested in the Concessions to Messrs. Waller and Bray. Mr. Bray, the young American who was recently deported from Madagascar by the French authorities, has represented to the State Department that ex-Consul Waller and himself are not the only Americans in- terested in the commercial concessions made by the Malagassy government. An- other citizen of this country, who is jointly interested with them in an important min- eral concession, is an ex-officer of the United States army. This particular con- cession was approved by the French pres- ident. According to Mr. Bray this fact is one of the reasons why the Hovas have al- ways resisted it. There are, however, some British subjects who hold concessions granted directly by the Hovas and standing without the approval of the French presi- dent. Inasmuch as the latter has sought to dispossess Walier and Bray from their concessions on the claim that French ap- proval was necessary to make it legal, these Americans may find in the case of the British concessionaries a strong support, for it is believed that the French would not care to make an issue with Great Britain on this matteg at present, and they cannot consistently undertake to discrimin- ate against Americans if the State De- partment undertakes to champion their cause, which it will do. Meanwhile the Waller concession is suf- fering considerably from the depredations of the French, who are loading ships with rubber taken from the land, and ruining the rubber tre:s by cutting them down to get the gum, instead of following the prac- tice which Waller and Bray were about to initiate, after the South American plan, of tapping the tre regularly and thus drawing off the sap without permanent in- jury to them. Bray expresses a strong de- sire to return to Madagascar as soon as he may do so safely, and speaks favorably of the climate of the interior of the country and its natural resources. ————_+ e+ Jonadab Anniversary.

FRANCE AND VENEZUELA The United States Asked to Act as Media- tor Between Them. If This is Undertaken it Will Be the Second Time Ha This Government Acted for the Republic. The United States has been again asked to act as intermediary in an international complication. This time the trouble is be- tween France and Venezuela, resulting in a complete termination of diplomatic rela- tions between them. The French minister at Caracas recently was given his pass- ports, whereupon France sent two warships to take away her minister and all the lega- tion archives. At the same time France handed to the Venezuelan minister at Paris his passports, and he summarily departed. The request for the mediation of the United States is now made by the Vene- zuelan government, through its minister at Washington, Senor Andrade. He was in- structed by the Venezuelan minister of foreign affairs a short while ago to request that the United States ambassador at Paris, Mr. Eustis, be asked to act as in- termediary in restoring friendly relations between the two countries. The United States legation at Caracas was also noti- fled of the desire of the Venezuelan gov- ernment, and sent a recommendation to the State Department that the office of inter- medqiary -be accepted. Should the United States undertake the reconciliation it will make two questions in which our officials are negotiators with European governments in behalf of Ven+ ezuela. Ambassador Bayard is already ene gaged in effecting a solution of the British- Venezuela question, There appears to be no reason why the United States should not act in the present case, as it is said to involve no possibility of trouble or strained relations between France and this country. it will, however, further impress European nations with the care with which the United States looks after the interests of South and Central American republics. The trouble between France and Venezue- la originated about four months ago. A number of European ministers residing at Caracas united in a confidential note to their respective governments, in which they told of the lax condition of the government and the tendency of Venezuelan officiais. to avoid the settlement of just claims. The note was signed by the ministers of France, Germany, Spain and Belgium. The Italian minister did not sign it, but sent it to his government for information. By mischance the “confidential” was omitted from the note, and Italy published it, with the signa- tures of the four ministers, in the Italian green book. Venezuela was thus publicly pilloried. She at once gave their passports to the French, Spanish and Belgian minis- ters, but the German minister had left be- fore this indignity could be offered him. By this step Venezuela was almost cut off from relations with leading nations. Great Britain withdrew her minister some time ago, because of the boundary trouble. It was with a view of overcoming this isola~ uuon that Venezuela now asks the kindly offices of the United States toward ree suming relations with the rest of the world. ——————————— GUATEMALA’S BONDS. Willing to Pay Seventy-Five Cents on the Dollar. The American, British and German hold- ers of the bonds of Guatemala have, ac- cording to recent advices received here, re- ceived an offer by the government of about seventy-five cents on the dollar for bonds in default. Although Guatemala is the wealthiest of the Central American repub- lies, the default was made in her bonds in February cf last year. The bondholders «rereupon formed a committee to look after their interests, with Sir John Lubbock of London us chairman. Sir John and his as- iates have been very active of late in intluencing the British government to pre Guatemala to pay this bonded debt, muc! of.which is owed to British banking houses, Guatemala’s offer of compromise does not eppear to have resulted from the activity in London, but if it is accepted It will close the trouble without friction, and without the possibility of a repetition of the Corinto affair. The offer in detail is to-give for every $300 or £100 of defaulted bonds new bonds of £75, drawing 4 per cent interest. The Guatemalan government has approved the plan, and the president has submitted it to the bondholders, but the latter have not as yet accepted it. One objection raised is that compensation must be made for the ccmmittee, which was necessitated by Guatemala’s default. When this is are ranged, as it is likely to be, the compro- mise will be accepted. - Had Been HL Mr, Lawrence Sands was summoned as a juror for the present term in Circuit Court No. 2.
