One hundred and twenty-six guests par- took of the dinner given by the Cincinnat! Bar Association last night to Mr. Judson Harmon, Attorney General of the United States. Judge W. H. Taft of the United States court of appeals was toastmaster. Mr. Judson Harmon sat at the head of the table with ex-Gov. Foraker on his right and Judge Taft on his left. At this table Were seated the judges and ex-judges of the superior and common pleas courts. Judge Taft opened the after-dinner speech- making with an address to “Our Guest.” On his speaking in complimentary terms of the good judgment of President Cleveland in making this chotce for Attorney Gen- eral, a voice shouted “Hurrah for Cleve- land.” This shout was taken up and con- tinued for h e.

POSSIBILITY OF BRITANNIA COMING Tke Henley Regatta to Be the Gayest in Years. VARIOUS SFORTING NEWS (Copyrighted, 1895, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, June 22.—Acccrding to Lord Dunraven’s present plans, Valkyrie III will not do any racing on the Clyde before starting for the United States, which®event it is believed will occur about July 15, But, his plans are subject to change. Both the Prince of Wales, the owner of the Britannia, and Mr. A. B. Walker, own- er of Ailsa, have promised Lord Dunraven any number of trial races, and it is be- lieved possible that he mey accept these offers, as he is understood to like this much better than entering in regular races. The reascn for this !s not a desire for se- crecy, but it is in order to prevent the yacht from being unnecessarily strained and generally knocked about, as she would be in a regular race. The Prince of Wales will probably go to the Clyde in order to witness some of the trials. The plan now ts that if during a trial anything of Valkyrie III carries away or a sail splits, a private signal is to be hoisted, and both yachts will stop until the damage is repaired. Lord Dunraven is afraid of the tremendous spars of Valkyrie Ill, which dwarf anything yet seen here; but Mr. George L. Watson, her designer, assures him that everything is all right. The prospect of Ailsa going to America is now over, but there is still a possibility of Britannia going. Mr. Jamieson, who represents the Prince of Wales with Bri- tannia, discussing the prospects the other day, said: “‘Weli, you may see old Britan- nia over there after all.” The Glasgow Times asserts that Valkyrie Ill has a center-board, or some such con- trivance, with which to deepen her draught in light winds and with a rolling sea run- ning. It would seem that there is some confirmation for these suspicions by the strict orders given to prévent strangers from going on board. Henley Will Be Gay. The Henley regatta promises to he the gayest in years. The demand for house boats was never so great, and 170 guineas has been given for one boat for a week, and 5 guineas has been charged for the rent of a small bed room. Mr. H. McCalmont’s Isinglass, the win- ner of the Gold cup at Ascot yesterday, and who won the Derby, St. Leger and Two Thousand Guineas in 1893, and who has won more money than any English horse, has now been withdrawn from the racing turf and is relegated to the stud, with a fee of 300 guineas as a charge for his services. The Prince of Wales’ Persimmon, who did so well at Ascot, is pronounced to be the best colt of the season and a likely Derby winner. He is entered for the Derby of 1896, in which Mr. Richard Croker, Mr. Foxhall Keene, Mr. August Belmont and other Americans have entries. Benson, the jubilee “plunger,”’ {s about town again, and betting and winning heav- ily on the races. Messrs. Croker and Dwyer seemed to be discouraged with their experiences here. They say they do not know when they will race again. ; Willie Sims, the Croker-Dwyer colored jockey, has been amusing himself at New- market. On Monday he wagered he would drive a trotter from Newmarket to Cam- bridge and return within an hour. Sims started in a sulky and made Cambridge in quick time. In returning, just as he neared Newmarket, the horse dropped dead. In spite of the many entries, no American horse appeared at Ascot. Mr. Richard Creker of New York tock a house at Ascot for the week, and did things in style. He was most correctly dressed in a long frock coat, dark striped trousers, patent leathers and a dazzling silk hat. Mr. @roker also carried a pair of racing glasses slung acrcss his body from the shoulder. Mrs. Croker, who accompanied him, looked handsome, and was one of the best dressed ladies there. : s: ‘There has been much comment in certain of the London papers of late as to the value of the stable brought by Messrs. Croker and Dwyer to England, and the comments generally seem to agree that none of the present American representa- tives compare with those which were in the stables brought to this country by Mr. Ten Broeck, Mr. Morris or Mr. Sanford. SHOOTING FOR PRIZES. Secres Made This Season by Members of the Capital City Gun Club. The members of the Capital City Gun Club are shooting ech Saturday for the prizes to be awarded by the club at the end of the season to those making the three highest avereges. The handicaps governing the many entries were publish- ed in The Star when the contest began. ‘The results of the matches so far have been as follows, each man being credited with the number of targets shot at and the number broken: Shot at. ‘Wagner soe cece Arnold - 105 Green . 1 Brown 200 Maxwell . 50 Fristoe . 25 100 100 100 50. 125, 50 25 50 50.

Capital Bicycle Clubmen Arranging for a Delightfal Trip. It is proposed by several members of the Capital City Bicycle Club to take a trip in August through the state of West Virginia via the old Parkersburg pike to the city of that name on the Ohio river. West Vir- ginia is one of the least known states in the Union, despite its favorable location, and its wildnesses contains many of na- ture’s grandest masterpieces. The old pike runs through its most rugged and beauti- ful portions, and starting at Staunton goes in almost direct line to Parkersburg. Be- fore the war it was one of the best known roads in the country, as a large part of it was used by the southern planters and their gamilies 'n journeying to the Green- brier ite Sulphur Springs, which were at that time the Mecca of all Virginia families of means and leisure. The road {s today in good condition, and along !ts course bears many evidences of the prosperity that once swept along it. Quaint old inns dot the wayside, where in ys the planter was wont to refresh lf, and the travelers in the stages op to stretch their muscles, for he- roads traversed the state the pike mail route to the northwest. time the greater part of it is still used for the same purpose,as it pierces regions remote from the iron horse. To those who love fishing and shooting {t opens fruitful fields, as it crosses the most celebrated trout streams in the ry, speckied beauties may be taken in lance, and taps the strong- hoid of th inia deer.

C. young mer who will en- Joy .a trip through all this beauty and attractiveness will probably be captained by Mr. Arthur S. Mattingly. It is proposed to leave Washington August 1 and take the train to Winchester. Here the Shenan- doah Valley pike, which is too well known to wheelmen to need description now, will be taken. The distance to Staunton from Winchester is 98 miles, over the finest road in America. Two days will be devoted to this run, which will put the riders In good condition for the rest of the journey, and at the same time allow them to appreciate the beauties of the valley. The following is a list of the towns along the route between Staunton and Parkersburg through which the tourists will pass: Churchville, West Augusta, McDowell, Travelers’ Re- pose, Huttons, Beverly, Buchanan, Lorent, Weston, Troy, Woods Mills, Elizabeth, Kanawha, Claysville. A TRAP SHOOTERS’ LEAGUE. Expert Sportsmen of the District and Maryland Will Form One. Sportsmen of the District of Columbia and Maryland have for several years been endeavoring to reach an arrangement whereby they might meet at specified times anid hold tournaments. This spring some of the ‘Yeading men in_ the various gun clubs believed the time to be. ripe for the formation of a league of trap shooters, with members from the District and Maryland, and a plan which is very successfully working in other states was determined upon, which provides that membership in the league is to be open to all members of organized gun clubs in the ste of Maryland and the District of Columbia. Each club is to be entitled to representation by a team of not less than six men, to compete in the team races. An initiation fee is to be charged to each club represented by a team. This fee is to be divided into purses, to go to the teams making highest averages during the season. Each club is to be en- titled to league tournament on its own grounds during the season. Each club wil! be requested to secure as many mer- changise and cash prizes as possible, to be competed for :n team races for either individual or team averages. Ali events in the tournaments, excepting team races are to be open to any and all shooters. The officers to be a president,vice president, treasurer, secretary, executive committee, field captain and assistant field captain. At least one officer is to be chosen from each club. In order to bring trap shooters together and arrive at some definite understanding about the proposition outlined above it has been determined to hold the first tourna- ment at Oak Crest, Md., beginning at 10 a.m., Saturday, June 20. The Laurel Gun Club will have the management of the tornament, and this assures its success. A large number of the members of the Capital City Gun Club will participate in the shooting and join the league, among them being Wm. Wagner, Arthur S. Mat- tingly, Blair Lee, J. Henry Gulick, McKel- den, M@Knew, Birch, Brown, Pruitt, Green and many other cracks. The program will be as follows: First event, ten targets, ‘entrance $1; second event, fifteen targets, entrance $1.50; third event, fifteen targets, ertrance $1.50; fourth event, twenty targets, event, ten targets, entrance $1; sixth event, team race, six men to constitute team, twenty-five targets per man, open to team from any organized gun club in Maryland or District of Columbia, entrance 50c. for targets only; seventh event, ten targets, entrance $1; eighth event, twenty targets, entrance $2; ninth event, fifteen targets, entrance $1.50; tenth event, ten targets, en- trance $1.

Company B,. the youngest company of the Gonzaga College Cadet Corps, was the successful company in the competitive drill held last evening on the parade grounds of the college between the two cqmpanies forming the battalion of that institution. The battalion war formed at 6 o'clock, and, under the command of Maj. John M. Carr and Adjt. Joseph D. Rodgers, gave a most interesting battalion drill, after which a bugle contest between members of the bugle and drum corps took place. This was won by Francis T. Hurley, and he was pre- sented with a silver medal. Then the two companies marched onto the field to com- pete for the St. Cecilia prize flag, which last year was won by company A. Company A, under command of Capt. Charles H. Duffy, Lieut. Conboy and Lieut. Costelio, put up an excellent drill, and most of the spectators thought that they would retain the coveted prize. The other com- pany, however, surprised every one by pu ting up a drill that was snappy and highly interesting throughout. Company B was commanded by Capt. J. incent Coughlan, Lieut. Hughes and Lieut. Mudd. Although the little feilows, some of them no taller than their guns, had only one rank, they kept distance perfectly, and won the ap- plause of the spectators at several points. The next event was a drum contest, in which Charles Cudmore came out vict rious, and he was presented with the silv medal for proficiency in that branch. Not a ttle pleasure was added to the occasion by the music of the drum corps, and they discoursed most excellent music of this character during the whole evening. G. C. Fugitt, United States marine corps, has had the boys under training for some time, and last evening they did credit to his ef- forts. After the salute to the flag a squad from company A gave an exhibition in firing with blank cartridges, putting up some very good fires. In the individual competi- tive drill, which followed, Cadet Thomas H. Crook showed that he was the best drilled man in the whole corps, for every one of the boys entered, making the number about seventy-five. He was presented with a gold medal. Dress parade by the battal- ion followed, the organization showing up very well in this function. Rossa. F, Downing delivered a most in- teresting address on the value of military training after the milftary movements were finished, and, amid the greatest excitement, Rey. C. Gillespie, S. J., president of the college, made the award of the prizes. A number of well-known persons were present at the drill, those occupying seats on the stand being Mgr. Satolll, Mgr. Sbar- retti, Dr. Rooker, Dr. Lockboehler, Col. Maurice Kilby and Gen. Jas. G. Brady. The judges of the contest were Lieut. Charles J. Harlow, Sergt. McNally and Sergt. Gal- peter: all of compaay A, fourth battalion, D.C. N. —————— ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS, A Stabbing Affray on the City’s Out- skirts. Frank Nicols, colored, was yesterday af- ternoon. seriously cut in the right breast by Frank Payne, colored, on the farm of Mr. Clinton Smoot, on the outskirts of this city. Payne claims he cut Nicols because he cursed him and attacked him with a knife. Nicols came into the city and went to Dr. Jones’ office, where his wound was dressed. Mr. Smoot reported the case to Officers Smith and Davis, who went in pursuit of Payne. They captured him on the other side of the canal, hidden in an old house. Payne made no resistance when put under arrest, but went. quietly to the sta- tion house with the police. The doctor says that Nicols’ wound Is of a serious nature. The case will be tried in the police court next Friday morning. Police Report. Squire Thompson presided in the police ccurt this morning for Mayor Strauss, who is still confined to his home by sickness. The following cases were disposed of: C V. Travers, vagrant, ordered out of the city; Willlam Gary, assault on Gabriel Stephen, dismissed; Charles Ford, a mem- ber of the chain gang, for refusing to work was put on a bread and water diet until he gets ready to go to work.

SEG SS CLOSING EXERCISES" OF THE SCHOOLS Promotions Made in the Colored High -Sehool. THE END OF THE YEAR Closing exercises of the school of the Immaculate Conception were held at Met- zerott Hall yesterday afternoon. It was the thirteenth year of the school’s exist- ence.

A pleasing tableau, “Dottie’s Dream,” was given by the little tots of the primary class; Miss M. Howard, in spangles and tinsel, was queen of the fairies, and Miss M. McGuire was “Dottie.” The kindergarten class was also represented by an illustration of the songs and games taught the little ones in the regular course of study. Rev. S. F.

MAY MARE SPEECHES IN CHID But Must First Make Sure of Things at Home. / HIS PERSONAL FORTUNES The desire to have Mr. Carlisle tour the country on the money issue, while a deserved recognition of his remarkable achievement at home, fails to take into ac- count the great responsibility that attaches to his work there, and that will make it imperative for him to continue to give to the Kentucky situation very particular at- tention. He will not return to the state be- fore the convention, but after that his services will be in demand there, and pre- sumably will be freely given. The promise now is that the platform adopted will be practically of his drafting, and the ticket nominated may even be made up from among his friends and sympathizers. Gen. Hardin, a free silver man, is now in the lead for governor, but he lacks a good many votes of the number necessary to nominate, and he may not be able to secure them. Some man in pronounced sympathy with the platform may be taken. But even if a compromise is effected—the somewhat risky compromise of putting a free silver man on a sound money platform—the demo- cratic situation in the state will still be ticklish. It will still be necessary for the democracy to exert itself to carry the day at the polls. What is Still Expected. Mr. Carlisle has done so much, he is ex- pected to do just that much more. He has wrought a revolution in his party at home in the short space of four weeks, and the state convention is expected to register his winning. No name will be cheered more lustily than his, no suggestion from any other source be received with such pro- fovnd respect. The Secretary, indeed, as his friends believe, is coming out most: de- cidedly cn top. But that very fact will im- pose a heavy duty on him. He will be ex- pected to figure in the campaign on the stump, and to help bring his party to the polls in victorious phalanx. Some sulking is expected. The free coinage men are al- ready grumpy, and may become more so after their defeat has been formally pro- claimed. This must be overcome, and Mr. Carlisle will be expected to contribute a great deal to the soothing-sirup fund. It will be his fight, and he must lead it. His Own Personal Fortunes. So much relating to his own personal fortunes will depend on this result that naturally Mr. Carlisle will give all the time he can spare to the-campaign at home. Defeat at the polls after winning handsomely in convention would overwhelm him. He would disappear, at least tempor- arily, from the equation, locally and naz tionally. Success at the polls, on the other hand, will mean everything to him, His return to the Senate will be made almost a certainty, and his name will at once be restored to the list of presidential possi- bilities. He will be inspired, therefore, to put in his steadiest and his best licks to- ward electing a ticket nominated under circumstances showing so conspicuously the force of his personality and opinions. ‘The Ohio Campaign. Not unlikely, after the Kentucky elec- tions and assuming that the democracy wins, Mr. Carlisle may respond to some of the invitations for speeches from him re- ceived from other quarters. His friends will certainly urge this crown upon him, so that he may thus keep himself and the issue judiciously in evidence. They may even prevail upon him to make before them an exception in the case of Ohio, where, if Senator Brice and ex-Gov. Camp- bell can shape it, a democratic campaign will be in progress on lines similar to those existing in Kentucky. This exception might be made with ease. Mr. Carlisle will be passing through the state on his trips to and from home, and could stop over night by previous arrangement at any-time and make the Buckeyes a speech. From his home in Covington he is within twenty minutes’ ride by street car, across a sus- pension bridge, of the public halls of Cin- cinnati, any one of which could be packed at short notice in his honor. It will be pos- sible for him, therefore, to participate in the Ohio campaign while helping out at home. But he will run the risk of colliding with the Campbell presidential boom should he do so. Will that matter? —_- e-__—__. THE COURTS. Equity Court No. 1—Judge Cox. Clark agt. Grimshaw; writ of assistance granted. Windsor agt. Parker; sale not- withstanding pendency of suit allowed.

WILL COME DOWN Commissioners rein Earnest About Trolley Wires, Mr. Thomas Denies Some Statements— Says the Authorities Have Ample Powers. When the ist of July comes about there is little doubt that the Commissioners will not hesitate about enforcing the law rela- tive to the overhead wires and poles of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company. These overhead wires and poles will be ordered taken down. If the order is not obeyed the company will be taken into court for maintaining a nuisance, and the District laborers will set about remoy- ing the wires and poles, charging the cost therefor against the company. Such a course as the one outlined above has been practically agreed upon, and the beginning of the new fiscal year will wit- ness its fulfillment. There are no obsta- cles in the way. A similar case has been decided before, and Attorney Thomas has several precedents for the proposed action of the Commissioners. In conversation with Attorney Thomas today upon the sit- uation he sald: hese Mr. Thomas’ Position. “I noticed in The Star several days ago @ communication which intimated that I was the attorney for the Eckington and Soldicrs’ Home railway. Now, the facts are these: When Mr. L. G. Hine retired from practice I succeeded him as attorney for the Belt Line Railway Company. “I still have several cases for that com- pany. When the syndicate bought the Belt Line road the position of attorney was offered to me by the president, but I re- fused it because I thought there might come a time when my relationship with the District would embarrass the company. I have done nothing for this company. Mr. John Ridout is the attorney. Concerning the condition of affairs with reference to the removal of the troliey wires and poies before July 1 I have only this to say: If these poles and wires are upon the street after July 1 they will be there clear- ly without warrant of law, and - would therefore be nuisances and obstructions. The Commissioners have ample power, I believe, to remove them. Why, there was a case in point over there in New York some years ago. An electrical company Pprctested against the removal of its poles by Mayor Grant and got an injunction. The court, however, dismissed the injunc- tion, holding that the poles were on the street contrary to law, and constituted ob- structions, and the mayor had a right to remove them. Another case directly in line happened in the city of Chicago. The cecmpany owning the poles after they had been removed by order of the mayor sued the latter, but the decision of the court was against them. Yes, the Commission- ers, I think, clearly have the nec law to remove the poles and wires.” ——_. TO BRING PEARY BACK. Departure of the Greenland Scientific Expedition. The steamship Pcrtia leaves Brooklyn today, carrying the members of the Green- land scientific expedition of 1895 to St. John’s, N. F. There they will board the steam barkentine Kite, Capt. John Bart- lett, master, and will sail for Greenland about July 1. a The expedition will be under the direction of Emil Diebitsch of this city, Mrs. Peary’s brother, and the party will be composed of Prof. Rollin D. Salisbury of Chicago Uni- versity, Prof. L. L. Dyche of the Kansas State University, Theodore Le Boutellier of Philadelphia and Dr. John E. Walsh cf this city. The only passenger will be Echi- Och-a, the lite Eskimo girl, who during the past winter has resided with Mrs. Peary in Washington. The expedition has two principal objects in view: First, to reach Anniversary Lodge, Bowdoin bay, in North Greenland (lati- tude 77 degrees 48 minutes), in order to communicate with Mr. Peary, his compan- ions, Hugh J. Lee of Meriden, Conn., and his faithful servant, Matthew Henson, of the United States. Second, to afford the eminent scientists who accompany the ex- pedition opportunities to study the geology and glaciers of the country, as well as the flora and fauna of the region to be visited. Special efforts will be made to secure specimens of the animals, more particular- ly the walrus, bear, seal and reindeer. The Kite will leave St. John’s about July 1, reach Holsteinborg July 7 or 8 and pick. up Prof. Dyche, Godhaven, about July 12, where a ‘week will be spent among the glaciers; leaving Godhaven about July 20, she should reach Inglefield gulf and the Peary headquarters about July 27. Mr. Peary promised to be at the lodge not later than August 15. This interim will give the scientists an opportunity to make their studies and collections, which will be continued even after Mr. Peary’s return, until the end of August. Leaving Inglefield gulf at the end of August, the Kite will steam slowly homeward, stopping at Cape Cork to take on the “Ironstone” and at one or two of the Danish settle- ments, and reaching St. John’s about Oc- tober 1. Dr. John E. Walsh, the surgeon of the expedition, is a Washingtonian. He is about thirty-five years old and wes for two years lecturer on histiology and pa- thology at the National Medical College and for some time house surgeon in charge of the Washington Asylum Hospital. ——--e+____ The Colored Girls’ Reform School. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I am too well aware .of the limited space in the columns of a valuable paper such as yours to ask room for a full reply to the correspondent of the 20th instant known as “Taxpayer.” I do not attempt to say one word for Rev. Brooks in this matter; he Is able to speak for himself; but, being one of the committee which was appointed by the Equal Rights Council to visit the Cc. G. R. S., I am constrained to say that what was submitted by Rev. Brooks was a report, and not a complaint. The colored people are not responsible’ for the sluins of this city. Our motto is, they need not and should not exist; they are public pestilences and need wise ‘and prudent public atten- tion. And as to our position with refer- ence to some of the attendants being col- ored persons, I do not think any intelligent mind could misconstrue our meaning, which is, that insomuch as a separate and dis- tinct prison has been set apart for co ored girls, there should be colored atten- Gants, the same as in other colored insti- tutions. ‘We will not soon be insisting on having colored jailors and judges, but if the courts and jails are to be run on this discriminate plan, we insist on having them now. far as the negro is concerned, we are con- tent as American citizens, but if the Anglo- Saxons will draw the fatal line of race dis- tinction, they must draw it straight and right. Every negro in this country turns his nose up at the suggestion that he should view himself as a non-taxpayer, and for’ that reason keep quiet about things that concern him; for it ought to be well under- stood In this enlightened age that the men who own the most property pay the least taxes, and those who own the least pay the most taxes. No merchants pay their own taxes; their customers pay them for them. The landlord does not pay his taxes; the tenants pay them to his agent, and his agent hands them over to the government and gets the receipt. In conclusior, I will challenge any one who doubts to prove that ore-third of the poorest and Nardest work- ing people of this or any other community pay as much and more taxes than one-third of the richer class, and are entitle] to as much remuneration.
