The steamer Macalester will leave on her regular Friday evening trip to Marshall Hall and Indian Head this evening at 6:30. Prof. Schroeder’s fine concert band will render some choice selections, both on the beat and at the hall. Persons going down ‘on any of the morning boats can take the evening boat at Marshall Hall and continue on to Indian Head. The annual excursion of the Letter Car- riers’ Association took place at Marshall Hall yesterday and proved to be one of the most successful ever given by this or- ganization. Despite the threatening weather over 4,000 people availed themselves of this pleasant trip, and in addition to the steam- ers Macalester and River Queen it was found necessary to secure the services of the City of Richmond to take their many friends to the grounds of Marshall Hall. The Marine Band, under ‘the leadership of Prof. Fanc@illi, rendered some excellent music on the big pavilion, and the pro- gram, which was a long one, was printed on a souvenir fan and presented to the ladies. The National Riffes will give an excursion to Marshall Hall Monday evening, the 17th instant, and as is usual with this popular organization those guing will be sure of a pleasant time. The Rifles are noted for their select crowds, and there is no’ reason to suppose that this one will be an excep- tion. The proceeds of this excursion will be devoted toward the expenses of the drill team, now preparing for the St. Lows interstate drill, and as the boys are put- ting up a good drill and are working hard to bring back at least one prize to the District they should be encouraged, ard it is hoped their friends will show their appreciation by going to Marshall Hall with them and help make the excursion a success. eee Indictments Returned. The following indictments were returned today: Edward Scanlan, larceny from the person; Edward C., Hamilton, alias William Johnson, false pretenses; Chas. H. Chase and Mary Jackson, alias White, adultery; Charles Turner, do.; James E., allas Chas. Johnson,do.; Samuel Slaughter and Frances Clark, do.; Louis A.

IT WAS FLAG DAY The National Emblem Honored ~ Throughout the District. ON PUBLIC BUILDINGS DISPLAYED Formal Exercises in Many of the ' . Public Schools. TONIGHT’S CELEBRATION ———— The stars and stripes monopolized a great deal of Washington today. From the mag- nificent banners that" floated proudly from the flagstaffs of public buildings to the modest fustian bunting that hung over the doorway of an humble building in a remote section, the emblem of Americar: hope and happiness was everywhere prcdominant. There were flags on business houses and fiags on private residences and tiny flags were worh in the buttonholes or pinned on the bosoms of thousands of patriotic men and women. The observance did not, how- ever, appear to be as general as it was last year. In 1894 the patriotic societies took a very practical and energetic in- terest in the celebration of Flag day. Com- mittees were active in inducing merchants and others to display, flags-on that occa- sion, and In this way general interest was aroused. This year there were no com- mittees at work, and many persons simply did not observe the anniversary bec: they had forgotten its date, something very easy to happen when the fact is taken into consideration that Flag day is a com- paratively new one in the chronology of the American~ people. Still there were enough flags fluating in the breezes to in- dicate that the people of the District are full of patriotic love for the starry striped banner that shelters and protects their liberties, and those who failed to hang out a flag today will doubtless make up for the neglect when June 14 rolls around again. In the Public Schools. The red, white and blue held sway and was swayed today in the public schools of the District of Columbia. This is “Flag day’—the second in the history of the local schools. The observance was inaugurated one year ago today by order of the board school trustees, and at their meeting Tues- day last that body directed that egain to- day the teachers should devote at least a portign of the time “school kept” to instill- ing patriotism in the minds of Washing- ton’s Young America. The time for preparation for the exercises was very short, the majority of the in- structors not receiving notification to cele- brate the day until yesterday, but at 9 o'clock this morning there was probably not a pupil of the grade schools in the Dis- trict who reported without a flag. Some of the insignia were larger than their bearers, while many were merely cute baby flags, but yet they were the symbol of American patriotism, and thereby fully answered the purpose. This being “matinee day” at the high schools, when those students behind In their work are given a chance to catch up by examinations and the more fortunate ones are allowed a holiday, it was im- possible for such pupils to participate in the exercises, but from the tots of the first grade to the big boys and gilrs of the eighth grade, who next fall will become young ladies and young gentlemen of the High School, the remainder of the school children sang—and sang in an interested manner as if they thoroughly enjoyed it— the praises of the star spangied banner. The Formal Exercises. In the majority of the schools the formal exercises of the day began at 2 o'clock, and were conducted by the principals of the buildings, assisted by the various teachers The children were marched from their clas rooms to the main hall on the first foor, where the piano—in the buildings where such an instrament is possessed—is without exception located. ‘The little ones took seats on the stairs or were grouped in a hollow square, and their parents and friends, who comprised the invited guests, disposed of in the adjoining rooms and other available space. At one building in the second division a program was pre- sented which may be taken as a sample of the exercises in all the schools. It,cpened with the singing of “My Coun- try, 'Tis of Thee,” by the combined schools. An original composition, entitled “Our Flag," jwas then read by a little girl, and was f@lowed by the enthusiastic singing of the “Star Spangied Banner*’ Next the childrer. repeated in unison from memory the foliowing oath of allegiance: “I pledge allegiance to my flag and-the republic for which it stands. One nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” An original compésition, “The History of the Flag,” was part of ‘the exercises, as was a recitation, entitled, ‘Mending the Flag.” The “Battle Cry of Freedom” and “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,” were rendered equally as well as the other vocal selections. A wand drill by a class of girls from the seventh grade, each wand being tied with a bow of red, white and blue ribbons, was a pretty feature of the after- noon, The remainder of the program com- prised recitations, entitled “One Flag,” and “Flag Song,” the singing of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “Our Flag,” “The Bugle Song Truce’ and “Home, Sweet Home.”” In several of the schools during the week bygles have been called into play to an- nounce the commencemeni and close of re- cess, while the children marched to and from the rooms to the heat of drums. The scenes at the buildings throughout the District today, excluding the special exercises, could not instill other than pa- triotism in the minds of the children, the teachers and the visitors. Brookland School. At the Brookland school, Miss Chesney in charge of the seventh and eighth grad had her pupils sing national hymas,. and there were readings of the origin of the flag and compositions on the flag. Miss Bailey superintended the exercises of the other grades, which consisted of singing of patriotic songs, the salute to the flag, reading of essays on Washington by Fred. Godfrey, the Declaration of Independence by Raymond Depue, an oration on the na- tional flag by Ralph Simons and a. recita- tion ode to the flag by Helen Brooks. The Woman’s Relief Corps. The committee of the Woman's Relief Corps on patriotic teaching in the public schools will celebrate flag day this evening at the First Presbyterian Church. The ladies comprising this committee have ar- rarged the following program, which will commence at 8 o'clock: Assembly, by bugler; invocation, Rev. Dr. Sunderland, First’ Presbyterian’ Church; orckéstral music, Andrew Lewis and others; address, by General J. C. Breckinridge, vice presidert general, Sons of American Revolution; song, “Star Spangled Banner, by quartet, Miss Halley, Miss Muir, r.

SS Memorial Services. At the annual memorial services of Co- lumbia Lodge, No. 10, I. O. O. F., held in Odd Fellows’ Hall last evening, appro- priate addresses, prayers and hymns were said in honor of the following deceased members: John Mills, Wm. R. McLean, Anthony Buckley, Samuel Wise, Chas. W. Hawes, Wm. Hendley and George Lackey. Music was furnished by a choir of ladies, and at the conclusion of the solemn and impressive exercises taps were sounded. THE OFFICIAL bs WEATHER MAP.

Spain Would Probably Accept a Prop- osition From This Government for Purchase of the Island. the The cpinion is held in certain quarters, where the Cuban question has been care- fully considered, that nothing would so facilitate the cession of Cuba to the United States as a claim for damages presented by Spain to this goverriment in the mat- ter of the presertt revoft. | '” ‘The case, for the ardumeit’s sake, is put in extreme form. It is asstimed that Spain, after a long siege, hds re-established full authority on the island. Phe Cuban lead- ers have either been"'killéd, captured cr driven beyond seas. Théircorrespondence and other indisputablé® méworanda are in the hands of the Spariish authorities. The papers, under carefuli examination, show ‘conclusively that very. material assistance was rendered ‘to the Cuban cause by citi- zens of the United State$; that Cuban leaders did use these shores as a recruiting ground and naval station; that the neu- trality laws were repeatedly and even flag- rantly violated. Spair foots up her bill of expenses, smarts under the “‘demnition” total, decides that the United States owes her, and presents a claim.’ She asks for a tribunal of arbitration ani adjudication. Such a court is appointed, the cases are presented, Spain proves her tlaim and the United States is mulcted In'a stiff sum of money. The Need for Cuba. Here, then, according to the opinion ad- vanced, would develop the necessity for a definite move on the part of this govern- ment for the acquisition’ of Cuba. Over- tures would have to be made, and they might be conveyed by Urcle Sam in some such terms as these: You can see for yourself, my Spanish friend, how difficult the case is for both of us. Cuba is very far from you ard very close to me. She wants to join my family, and many members of my family are anxious to have her with us. It has been shown by the very correspondence you have presented in your suit against me how in- timate the relations already are that bind Cuba to my household. Many of her im- portant dealings are with us, and these things make strorg berds. Come, now, let’s settle the matter amicably. You can eontinue to hold her if you can do so, but it is plain it will cost you another large sum of money. And it may cost me some- thing more. You have merely achieved a temporary triumph on the island. You have not crushed the spirit of independence there, or, what is the same thing, the de- sire of the people there for a union with this country. You ought not to want to make any further outlay of money in that direction, and I can assure you that I don’t intend to. We can settle the question on a friendly, business basis. What will you take for Cuba? Name a reasonable sum, and up will go the stars and stripes on the island and all fear of further friction be- tween us will disappear.” A Business View. It is of course the merest conjecture as to what Spain would be likely to say to such a proposition. But that it would appeal strongly to a practical business view of matters is firmly believed. The talk that Spain is holding on to Cuba hecause of sentimental reasons—reaSons relating to former Spanish adventures ard conquests— carries little weight in this country. What- ever Spain once was, it is plain enough what she now Is. She is a decaying power. Her days of adventure and conquest are ever, and she is much tco poor to be in- dulging in expensive sentiment. It is re- garded as-plain enough that if Cube is to continue to cost large sums of money in the effort to keep her orderly and obed Spain must dispose of her in some be forced to part with her without pensation at all. The United States, every reason, could afford to pay more than any other countr and therefore the opinion follows that mer or later Cuba will become American territory. -2e-—_—__—_ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

EVIDENCE ALL IN Only Arguments Left in the Howgate Case. The Jury Excused Until Next Monday— Fighting Over Introduction of Tes- timony—The Judge’s Remarks. So far as the Introduction of testimony is concerned, the case of Capt. Henry W. Howegate, charged with forgery and falsi- fication of hig accounts while disbursing officer of the signal office, in 1879, closed shortly before noon today. The jury was then excused until 10 o'clock Monday morn- ing, when counsel will argue the case be- fore the jury. About two days are ex- pected to be devoted to arguments, and the jury will, therefore, take the case under consideration late Tuesday afternoon or early Wednesday morning. As to Evidence. The alleged admissibility of certain tes- timony was earnestly urged yesterday afterncon by Messrs. A. S. Worthington and Jere M. Wilson, District Attorney Bir- mney as earnestly insisting that it was in- admissi¥je. In sustaining Mr. Birney’s ob- jection, Judge McComas held this morning that such testimony was too remote to show the motive of the defendant in escap- ing in 1882. To allow the introduction of such and similar testimony, declared the court, would not only be improper, but would alsa be misleading to the jury. The defense noted an exception, and also noted another when Judge McComas _re- fused their offer to show that Capt. Ho gate in 1884 wrote a letter to Gen. A. W. Greely offering to give his address, at a time when, according to the government, a treward had been offered by the authorities for the defendant's apprehension. The Judge's Remarks. Both sides then announced that they had no further testimory to offer in the case, wher Judge McComas excused the jury until Monday morning, cautioning them again to allow no one to talk to them about the case or in their presence, and directing them not to talk about the case. “Of course,” remarked Judge McComas, “if any one attempts to approach you in relation to the case you should at onze inform the court, ard the court will quick- ly end the matter. I do not anticipate that any one will so approach you, gentle- men, but I think it proper to instruct you as tu your sworn duties and obligations.” The jury then retired, and counsel of- fered their prayers for instructions to the jury, the rest of the day being devoted to a discussion of the instructions. ees Census Figures Questioned. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In The Star of the 12th instant appears a summary of the report of the last census, showing “statistics that afford interesting food for speculation,” with “details of oc- cupation” of those in the District engaged in the various wage-earning callings. I beg to say that the gatherer of statistics is vitally wrong in one respect at least. I have been a manufacturer of paper boxes in the city for some years, and have had an average force of females employed of from 15 to 30, and at the time of the taking of the last census I had twenty employed. Besides these there were at that.time two other similar manufactories in the District employing female help. Can the census, therefore, which fixes the number of i males thus employed at six be accurate? GEO. P.

POPULIST PROMISES NOT REALIZED Mr. Ingalls Will Not Be Able to Succeed Peffer. MONEY AND THE TARIFF Representative-elect S. S. Kirkpatrick of Fredonia, Kan., who will take a seat emong the republicans in the Fifty-fourth Congress, with a majority of 2,780, came through Washington on his way to An- napolis, Md., where he has a son at St. John’s Academy. Mr. Kirkpatrick will suc- ceed ex-Representative Hudson, the pop 1- list member. He does not think the popu- lists will make a good showing in the next election in Kansas, for reasons he explain- ed to a Star reporter. Populist Promises Not Realized. “When the populists came into power in Kansas,” said Mr. Kirkpatrick, “they made promises of reforms that were not realized, and the disappointment that fol- lowed this course has caused many of the rank and file to become dissatistied and to leave them. For instance, it was said that the expenses of the state government would be greatly reduced. Far from this, in most of the counties where the populists secured control the expenses. were increas- ed. Taxes were necessarily increased also, and this demonstration of the effect of their rule has lost them much support. There was a tendency among them to create useless offices, and salaries were paid men for doing little or sothing. No Chance for Ingalls. “No, I do not think Mr. Ingalls will be able to succeed Peffer. I have no doubt that if it were to be put before the people for a vote he would be elected, but his course in*Kansas has estranged many cf the republican leaders of the state from him, and his nomination will be difficult. His utterances have been of a kind that these leaders could not indorse, and he has made frequent breaks of this kind in his speeches. For instance, when Mr. In- galls spoke at Fredonia in the last cam- psign he said he saw no more reason for putting a dollar’s worth of silver in a sil- ver dollar than he saw for putting a dol- Jar’s worth of paper in .a paper dollar. That didn’t suit members of his party. He followed that speech up with another ad- dress at Topeka, and before he spoke lead- ing members of the party took occasion to suggest that it would be well not to intro- duce such a sentiment in his remarks. Mr. Ingalls got up and thereupon informed the audience that he had been given instruc- tions what he should say, and of course that made some people very mad. Money and the Tariff. “I believe the populists of Kansas will not be satisfied with the views of ,any ex- tremists on the money question. They do not agree with gold monometallists nor do they indorse the ideas of the free silver men of the west. But I think the majority of Kansas republicans think that there is a middle course they can with safety take. It is hard to say just what this middle course would be. I believe it would be agreeable to them to coin some silver, say the American product. “Undoubtedly, something will have to be done in the next Congress in order to raise more-money for the government to pay its expenses, and there seems to be no other way than to change the tariff, but this does not necessarily involve any general revision of the tariff law. The people of Kansas would like to have the tariff on wool restored, and that one item will in a large way help the Treasury Department. Peffer Not Likely to Be Returned. “I think there is no likelihood of Mr. Peffer being sent to the Senate again. Mr. Peffer says he is doing nothing for the nomination, wut is allowing affairs to take their course. Every republican speaker of the state has had’armfuls of the bills he introduced in Congress as an evidence of the way he was working buncombe in order to play on popular sentiment. No one had any idea that Mr. Peffer would vote for these measures if he got an opportunity, and his action in bringing them before the public is look-d upon as en evidence of a lack of sincerity.” Mr. Kirkpatrick has lived in Kansas for twenty years, having gone there from Illi- nois, where he was born about the year 1848. He entered the war in an Illinois reg- iment in 1864, when he was but sixteen years of age, and served until peace was declared. After that he studied law, and now practices that profession at Fredonia, Kan., his home. FINANCIAL. W. .B. Hibbs, Member of the New York Stock Exchange, Banker and Broker, 1421 F Street.
