The Board Unable to Complete It by January 1. be stated positively that the trien- nial assessment which is’now being made by the board of assessors will not be com- pleted by January 1, as required by law. Although the board has worked early and late it is found that it will be impossible to do the work, and when Congress meets an extension will be asked. In this con- nection it may be stated that this new as- sessment does not go into operation until May, 18%, according to law. The taxes which are due next November will be*paid under the old assessment—that is, the re- vised assessment, which is now in opera- tion. One would be surprised at the num- ber of inequalities the board has found in the assessments, not particularly in the sessments of the last board of assesgors, gross inequalities which app to have existed for some time. While the returns will show a large increase in the total assessment, it is said that there will be no material increase$ in individual cases. The new buildings which are being, or have recently been, erected, and whose values have to be added to the total as- sessment, will account for the increase. This morning the board of assessors ap- peared before the Commissioners and re- commended that hereafter when permits are granted to build in the county the location of the building be made more specific, er CITIZE RIGHTS. S HAVE A Policeman Lectured by Judge K ball Today. For the benefit of Policeman Oriani Judge Kimball anncunced this morning that citizens have some rights which even policemen are bound to marks were made in the case of a young man named Edgar "Lusby, against whom there was a charge of, profanity. It ap- peared in proof that a number of young men were standing at the corner of 13th ard E streets about 1 o’clock this morning engaged in conversation, when the police- man came along and gave the customary erder, “move on.” The young men were violating no law, so tkey thought, and they did not become frightened and run, but remained there and informed the officer that they had done nething wrong. *| Policeman Oriani, however, engaged in a dispute with the men and then arrested Mr, Lusby. His friends went along to the station, and there the officers attempted to keep out one of them, who proved to be a reporter on a morning paper. He asserted his rights in the matter, and refused to be kept out of the public office without justifiable reasons, and collateral for Mr. Lusby’s appearance was deposited with the clerk. The proof showed that what Mr. Lusby said was in response to what was said by the officer. According to the officer’s statement to Judge Kim- ball the young men were not disorderly nor did they interfere with the rights of others on the street. Judge Kimball, in disposing of the case, said that the police must have the right of direction of the streets, but in asserting this right they must use discretion and common sense. It is not every man who is standing on the street that the officer must tell to “move on.” Sitizens have some rights, and when they do not interfere with the rights of others they are not to be moved along at the will of a police- man. - "The judge said that he could find no rea- sen whatever for the arrest, and dis- missed the charge against Mr, Lusby. ——— The Star Out of Town.

A DEPOSIRARY?| Secretary of State Olney Makes an} Extended Reply. 2S A CITIZEN’S DUTY A few days ago Secretary Olney received a letter from Mr. John P. Massey, cashier of the Farmers and Merchants’ National Bank of Waco, Tex., ralsing an interesting questicn in regard to the Cuban insurrec- tion. He said: “I have been approached by alleged agents of the Cuban insurgents with the view of securing this bank’s consent to act as depository for contributions from sympathizers in the United States, but have withheld consent until such time as I could hear from your department as to whether we would, by so doing, lay our- selves liable to prosecution under the neu- trality laws. This we desire to avoid, not only technically, but morally as well, for we are all too loyal to our own country to seek to overturn, in any sense, her laws. “I, myself, am in entire sympathy with the cause of Cuban independence, and I attribute the singling out of this bank to that fact being known to a few who are identified with the cause in that country. “It is needless to say that from a bus’ ness standpoint it would result in great ad- Vantage to this bank, and I hope you will see your way clear to allowing us to pul lish acceptance of the trust to the world. Secretary Olney’s Reply. Secretary Olney responded to Mr. Massey in a letter of yesterday’s date as follows: “I have to acknowledge the receipt cf your favor of the 13th instant and to note the inquiries therein contained. “Whether the bank or its officers could be criminally prosecuted under the neu- uality laws of the United States because the bank had knowingly made itself a de- pesitory of funds contributed by sympa- thizers in the United States in support of the present Cuban insurrection js a ques- tion as to which opinions may differ and which can be satisfactorily settled only by the adjudication of the proper court. Should a bank engage in such a transaction, and, as you suggest, publish its acceptance of such a trust to the world, it would be my duty to call upon the Department of Jus- tice to test the question whether or not the proceeding was a crime against the United States. “It might also be my duty te suggest whether a bank holding a United ates charter does not abuse its franchises and furnish ground for their forfeiture by acts in aid of hostilities against a nation with which the United States is at peace. IT do not ic however, that any- thing done by your bank or its officers is likely to promote the Solution of the inter- & legal questions ‘your letter presents. me not mi as to your techni- You cal lexal liability, but‘also as to your moral we are all too ek to over- obligations, adding) “for joyal to our own courtry to throv:, in sense, her la “[ heartily commend the sentiment of the quotation, and @m in a position to say ‘our moral duty'in the premises does admit of the ‘leXst question. It has Leen expounded by a9 less an authority than the Supreme Court of the United ates in the following language: rhe intercourse of this country with for- eign natt and tts policy in regard to them are 1 by the Constitut’on of the in the hands of the govern- ment, and its decisigns upon these subjects are obligatory upon every citizen of the Unior.. He is beund to be at war with the which the war-making pow- lared waf, and equally bound to commit ne act of Hostility against a na- tion with which the government is in emity and friendship. ‘This principle is universally acknowledged by the laws of nations, It lies at the foundation of all government, as there could be no social order or peaceful relations between the citizens of different countries without it. lt 1s, however, more emphatically true in relation to citizens of the United States. For, as the sovereignty resides in the peo- ple, every citizen is a portion of it, and is himself persoaally bound by the laws which the representatives of the sovereign- ty may pass, cr the treaties into which they may enter, within the scope of their delegated authority. And when that au- thority has plighted its faith to another nation that there shall be peace and friend- ship between the citizens of the two coun- tries, every citizen of the United States is equally and personally pledged. The com- pact is made by the department of the gov- ernment upon which he himself has agreed to confer the power. It is his own personal compact, as a portion of the sovereignty in whose behalf it is-made. And he can do no act ner enter into any agreement to promote or encotrage revolt or hostilities against the territories of a country with which our government is pledged by treaty to be at peace without a breach of his duty as a citizen, and the breach of the faith pledged to the foreign nation.” o-——_—_ THE CASES CONTINUED. Sugar Witnesses’ Trials Go Over Until Next October. Upon the application ef counsel for the defendants, Judge Cele tcday continued the cases of Messrs. Chapman, Macartney, Havemeyer, Searles, Shriver and Edwards, the indicted contumacicus sugar trust wit- re , until next Octcber. The delay in cencluding the Howgate cose was mainly responsible for the postponement, the case of Broker Elverton R. Chapman, which was to be made a test case, having been continued from last Monday until today. When the case was called this morning, ex-Senator Geo, F. Edmunds of Vermont and Mr. Jere M. Wilscn, of counsel for Mr. Chapman, stated that it would be a very great inconvenience to them to have to try the c at this time, or at any time this month. Ir the event‘of a conviction, they said, the case wouid, in one form or othe: be carried to the United States Supreme Court. That court could ret, they thought, hear the case earlier than the latter part of December, so that a trial at this time would not advance its final determination in any way. Hence, in view of the fact that to proceed with the case now would only greatly inconvenience counsel, and would not hasten its final disposition, they asked that the case be continued until next October. District Attorney. Birney stated that while the government was ready to pro- ceed with the case upon the conclusion of the Howg*te trial, he was not disposed to resist the motion of counsel on the other side. Judge Cole remarked that while it was very important, both. to the public and to the defendants, that ithe cases should be disposed of as speedily as possible, he thought that the continuance asked for would not injure any one, and the court directed that all the cases be continued.

O, Knott, pastor, corner of 7th and A streets northeast. The morning meeting began with devo- tional exercises, which were conductel by Rev. H. M. Strickler of Middleburg, -\s on yesterday, President J. W. Grubb oc- cupied the chair and Rev. J. O. Knott was ‘st paper read was “The Duty of by Mr. C. A. Wood, which was ussed by Rev. Messrs. J. W. Jones, J. O. Knott and J. W. Grubb. The committee on constitution and by- laws, of which Mr. C. A. Wood was chair- man, submitted a report providing for those documents, which, after being siight- ly amended, were adopted, and in accord- ance with the provisions of the former the following officers were elected to serve for one year: President, Rey.

The executive committee will consist of the foregoing officers, the presiding elder and preachers in charge, who shall act for the league in the interim of the conferences, the next one of which will be held during May, 1896. Greetings Exchanged. A greeting from the board of control of the Epworth League of the M. E. Church North in the District of Columbia to the convention and wishing it success for the future was read by Secretary Knott, and on motion of Mr. F. E. Woodward, which was adopted by a rising vote, the follow- ing reply was ordered sent to the secretary of the former body: “The first conference of the District Ep- worth League of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, Washington district, now in session in Epworth Church, sends fraternal greeting to the Distriet Epworth League of the M. E. Church, and rejoices in the fact that the kindly relations already existing between us will be only strengthened and not weakened by the organ‘zation of our District League. We hereby pledge our earnest eforts and our warmest prayers for the success of the Methodist Episcopal Chureh_ Univer: Rev. H. M. Strickler asked that the meet- ing of the convention in 18% shall be held at Middleburg, Va., and President Grupb asked that that honor be conferred on Leesburg. After some pleasant discussion the selection of a place was left to the executive committee. In compliance with a requ it received by letter from Rey. Dr. S. A. Steele, general secretary of the Epworth Li ue of the M. E. Church South, at Nashville, Tenn., the following were elected delegates to the international convention of the League, which begins at Chattanooga, ‘Yenn., June 27, 185, and will continue: for one week: Revs. J. W. Grubb, J.O. Knott and H. I. Stephens, Mr. F. E. Woodward and Miss Lizzie Hummer, each of whom was authorized to appoint an alternate in event of his or her own inability to fo to the convention. It is expected that dele- gates will attend the convention from every portion of the world where the Methodist Episcopal Church has an existence. Other Business. Rey. J. O. Knott and Mr. Fred. E. Wood- ward were, on motion of President Grubb, elected editor and assistant editor, re- spectively, of the Epworth Bulletin for one year. On motion of Rev. Mr. Grubb a resolu- tion was adopted asking the Baltimore an- rual conference to request the general con- ference at its next meeting to appoint an Epworth League board, as recommended in the report of General Secretary Steele at the last session of the general conference. On motion of Rev. J. T. Williams of Al- exandria, Va., the following y dopted: Resolved, TLat we invite the other dis- tricts of the Baltimore conference to co- operate with the Washington district in the formation of an arnual Epworth League conference, and that the secretary of this conference send a copy of this reso- lution to the presiding elders of the confer- ence, asking thcir co-operation. i On motion of Mr. Fred. E. Woodward a vote of thanks was tendered to The Star and other Washington papers for the re- ports published by them of the proceedings of the convention. A short but interesting address was made by President Grubb on ‘Cabinet Meetings,” and remarks along the same line were made by several others. A number of cne-minute addresses were made by delegates on the impressions re- ceived by them during the sessions of the convention, and each promised to be more consecrated to the ieague cause for the fu- ture. After the conclusion of speeches the del- egates sung the doxology, after which the convention adjourned sine die, —_——.___ A Verdict for $40,000 Against Sage. The fourth trial of the suit of William R. Laidlaw against Russell Sage, in New York, for $50,000 ended yesterday, when the jury brought in a verdict in the plaintiff’s favor for $40,000. A stay in the case was granted until September. The sult was for dam- ages alleged to have been sustained by Laidlaw on account of Sage using him as a shield against Dynamiter Norcross’ bomb. The case was given to the jury at 3:07, and at 4:12 they returned with a ver- dict of $40,000 for the plaintiff, THE NEW) RIVER BOAT The Newport News Makes Her First Trip Upstream. She Now Lies at Her Dock in Wash- ington—A Trial Trip in Rough Water. The new river steamer, the Newport News, made her first arrival at the Wash- ington dock thts morning at 6 o'clock, hav- ing left Norfolk at 6:10 last night, and made the trip without let, hindrance or mis- hap. The time could have been reduced about two hours on the trip, but there was no desire to make a record in advance of a schedule. ‘The Newport News was in charge of Capt. Geoghegan, who has for several years commanded the Norfolk, and he expresses himself as highly pleased with his new craft. She behzves well, minds the signals beautifully, and can make a Maxitnum speed of twenty-one and a half miles an hour. A party, comprising the officers and directors of the Washington and Norfolk Steamboat Company, went down from here Monday night to take for- mal possession, and the ceremony was made quite impressive on the part of the good people of Newport News. A Presentation. The main saloon of the new steamer was crowded with the leading men of Newport News and the party of Washingtonians when Mr. S. E. Pickford of Newport News formally turned cver the steamer and presented the company with a fine quarter- ed-oak cabinet saloon table as a token of esteem in yeturn for the courtesy of the company in naming the steamer after their town. He closed his remarks by re- citing Longfellow’s “Launching of the Ship.” William EF. Clark, president of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Co., in accepting the steamer and testimonial on the part of the company made a nice little speech, He then called upon Vice President Levi Woodbury, who responded, raking the prediction that the day ts not far distant when Newport News will rank as the leading shipping point in America. Mr, A. T. Britton was called upon, and congratulated the Néwport News Ship Building and Dry Dock Company upon the construction and speed of the ship, and the good people of Newport News upon the good taste displayed in their handsome testimonial. C. B. Orcutt, president of the Newport News Ship Building and Dry Dock Company,responded briefly, outlining the growth of the shipping interests of Newport News and invited the assembly to a collation in the large dining hail of the steamer. Trial Trip. The steamer then put out for a trial trip in rough water, going as far as the Cape Hienry lighthouse, and from Fortress Mon- roe light to Cape Henry lght, a distance of seventeen and seven-tenths miles. She developed the speed of twenty-one and a quarter miles per hour against a head wind and heavy sea. The board of direc- tors of the Norfolk and Washington Steam- boat Company held a meeting with Presi- dent Wm. Clark, presiding; R. E. Pink- inton, acting secretary, and the following directors present: Levi Woodbury, A. T. Britton, R. F. Baker, George W. Pearson, John Boyd and H. Libby. Resolutions were sed accepting the vessel and expressing thanks to General Manager John Callhan, who has superintended the construction of the compan boats and the successful conduct of its general business. The new steamer will lie at her wharf here all day Sunday, and the public is in- vited to inspect her. During the overhaul- ing of the other two steamers the New- port News will make alternate night trips until July 1. Beginning July 4 she will make trips to Norfolk in the day time. ‘The Newport News is a 1,30)-ton ship, fifteen feet longer than her sister ships, much faster, and contains ninety state rooms. The furnishings are elaborate, and the heavy pieces of oak furniture are rich- ly upholstered in brown corduroy with Louis XVI design. The interior woodwork is enameled white, picked out in gold in artistic mermaid designs and panelings. Among those in the Washington party were Gen. J. A. Dumont, general supervis- ing steamboat inspector of United States government; Mr. ard Mrs. A. T. Britton, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. John Keyworth, Mr. and Mrs. George Pear- son and son, Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. W: E.

House of Commons, The Bering sea bill passed its second reading in the house of commons yesterday, after Mr. Hanbury, member for Preston. and Mr. Bethell, member for the Holder- ness division of Yorkshire had expressed dissatisfaction with some of the details of the new measure. To their objections Sir Edward Grey re- plied that the only changes made in the bill as compared with the first Bering sea bill were introduced in order to meet the suggestions of Canada on the subject. The bill, he added, did not raise the questions regarding the seal fisheries, and he warned the house that if the government was not allowed to carry out the agreement with Russia very serious questions would arise respecting the western Pacific. Rumored Base Ball Deal.

A San Francisco paper says: When the government's investigations shall have been held there will be no lack of testimony to show the culpability of the Pacific Mail Company in the Colima wreck. Besides the testimony given -before the hull and boiler inspectors A. D, McClelland has re- celyed a letter from his brother, who has a coast ranch in Mexico near the scene of the wreck, Ten of the wrecked passengers are being cared for by him, and their story of the wreck corroborates all that has been said against the management of the ship. McClelland writes that from the story told by the survivors at his place the wreck was all due to Capt. Taylor.
