Thirty-three prisoners answered roll call in Judge Kimball's court this morning, and there were only five females in the party. Eight of the male prisoners were white. Included in the procession were several small boys and a number of men, whose presence in court was the result of over- indulgence in strong drink, and one man in the party had about his head a ban- dage that covered a wound, and also as- sisted in reducing the man’s head to its normal condition. Margaret Taylor, a young colored wo- man. who was arrested on her way to a picnic, was the first one called to the dock rail, and she managed to open her eyes long enough to say “not guilty.” “Yesterday about 2 o'clock,” said Police- man Judge, “I was walking along 2d street, when I saw this woman seated on a doorstep. She was drunk, and I ordered her to leave there and go home, but i stead of doing so she became disorderly. “Do you want to say anything?” she was asked. “What's the use?” asked the woman. “I ain't got nothin’ to say.” “Five dollars.” Used Morphine. Daniel Coleman, a resident of George- town, was complained against by Police- man Bradley, and the case was a peculiar- ly sad one. Coleman is addicted to the morphine hab- it and while suffering from the effects of the drug he had twice attempted to take his life while in the police station. The man had nothing to conceal. His son appeared on the stand and told of his conduet, and the trcuble he cauzed. “Has your father been using the drug recent; the court asked. “I don’t know,” the son responded. “He was arrested three weeks ago, and he had @ bottle of morphine then."” The prisoner told the court that he had been in the government service in Califor- nia and Oregon. “Sometimes,” he said, “I was 22,000 feet above the level of the sea and then again I was 2,000 feet below the level.” This, he said, gave him catarrh of the stomach, and he had been taking morphine fer a year before he knew what the doc- tor was giving him. “I paid 75 cents an ounce to the doctor,” he said. “It was all right so long as I paid for the drug, but when I wanted to stop I found myself in this cond! . “And are you still using the dru I have not used any of it since the 15th of April, but I still have these spasms.” He said that when he has the spasms he does not know what he does, but he under- stands that his body is very act: “And,” he said, “when anybody: bucks against me I'll buck back.” Judge Kimball said he thought the man was sadly in need of hospital treatment, and said he would do the best he could for him. ‘ Several Cases. Louis Pinkney, a well-dressed colored citizen, was shown to be a man of good character. But last night he was found ob: structing the sidewalk, and Policeman Fin- gles arrested him. “I hadn’t harmed anybo man, who had plead guilty, did drink a little too much.” “You must be more careful in the future,” was the advice Judge Kimball gave him as he released him on his personal bonds. John T. Horton plead not guilty to aj; charge of disorderly conduct, but the evi- dence of Policeman Miller was conclusive, and the usual fine—$5 or fifteen days—was imposed. When the name Thomas O'Donnell was called a little man whose face was not fa- miliar in court responded, and because of the unsettled condition of his mind and stomach he plead ignorance. “This morning, about 2 o'clock,” said Po- licemen Judge, “I found this man lying on the sidewalk. He was drunk, and I ar-4 rested him.” . “T guess I was there, as the officer says,” the prisoner told the court. “I had at- tended a wedding earlier in the evening and remained later than I had intended. said the ‘but I guess I t,”” said the court, “you were obstruct- ing the sidewalk.” “I guess I was. “Five dojiars.’ Goes Again. Johanna Quill was in court again today. She went to a house on Massachusetts avenue, in which she was once interested, and took possession. When one of its owners—S. J. Block— called at the house the woman attempted to use a stone on him and was otherwise disorderly. ‘The usual fine was‘impose® Francis Brown made a temperance speech when he appeared on a charge of vagrancy. “TJ haven’t the money to take this case to the Supreme Court,” he told the judge, “and, therefore, I have to submit to this indignity of answering a charge of va- grancy. I can keep you talking six days to define the word vagrancy.”” Then he launched off on the subject of intemperance, told of its eyil effects and why he drank. “T can’t control the habit now,” he con- cluded. “Then I'll put you where you will be con- trolled.” “Y’ve been down there for a month.” “You will have to go for another month.” Following these cases the several women and other prisoners were tried. The court heard their statements and dealt with them according to the facts in the particular cases. — BENNING CITIZENS. Business Tranracted at the Session Last Night. After a session of the entertainment com- mittee, which lasted about an hour, the Benning Citizers’ Association was called to order at 9 o'clock last evening by the pre! dent. There was a good attendance and much enthusiasm was manifested over the repert of the entertainment committee, showing net rece!pts of more than $60 from the Town Hall dedication of last week. Under the head of propositions for mem- berstip Mr. J, W. France presented the name of Miss F. S. Fairly, who had signi- fied to him an tarnest desire to become a member of the citizens’ association, and, on motion, she was unanimously elected. Mr. N. Keyser of the lghts and side- walks committee reported having seen Mr. Walson, superintendent of county roads, about the bad condition of the sidewalks in Benning and along the road near- the as having said that he would put in a rec- ornmendation for their immediate repair. Mr. Dyer said he understood the sidewalk leading from the bridge to Miller’s Hill would be fixed also, and on motion the report was accepted. The road committee made its «report, which was accepted, as was also the re- port of Mr. John Boland that the railroads were all right. Mr. J. S. Mewshaw report- ed haying answered the letter of Mr. Wal- ter Vrooman of Baltimore, who tendered his services for a lecture before the asso- elation. On motion of Mr. T. E. Clark the enter- tainment committee’ was granted another week in which to make a final report. The committee on program made its report, and was tendered a vote of thanks for the ex- cellent manner in which it was gotten up. Under the head of new business it was reported that the Commissioners contem- plated rescinding an order recently issued at the request of the association forbidding the. driving of live stock over the Bennirg road during the day time, and after con- siderable lively discussion it was, on mo- tion of Mr. J. W. France, decided to in- struct the road committee to see the Com- missioners at once and enter an earnest protest against the issuance of the con- templated order. ‘The secretary then read a communication from Mr. B. H. Warner, president of the board of trade, to the president of the Ben- ning association, expressing his regret at being unable to attend the dedicatory exer- cises held on the evening of the 25th Losers cia- The question as to whether the a: tion should take up the monthly topi lie Sanitation,” was discussed at length, but finally tabled for one week, and after a few other matters were disposed of the meeting adjourned. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA} HAMEINE’S CELEBRATIONjOUT OF THE GUARD U A Orap-Shooting Joint Raided by the | Thirticth Anniversary Oommemorated Last. | The Expected Blow Falls on the Fon- Police. Cases of s Minor Nature Before the Acting Mayor—Many Other Lecal Notes. In the police court this morning Acting Mayor Snowden presided, and disposed of the following cases: John Laws, charged with unlawful gambling, fined $5; James Jones and Wm. Johnson, charged with un- lawful gambling, fined $2.50 each; Cedric Hooper, charged with interfering with the police, fined $5; James Jones and Charlie Jones, disorderly conduct, fined $2 each. Benjamin Lucas, charged with assaulting his wife, case continued until tomorrow; John Stanton, charged with abusive.lan- guage to Sallie Bureaugard, fined $1. A €rap Den Raided. Yesterday afternoon two colored meen named James Jones and Wm. Johnson ap- peared at the station house and stated to the police that they had been robbed of $0 by a colored man named John Laws. They offered to show the police where Laws could be found, and escorted them to his house. When they got in sight of the house a colored boy named Hooper gave warning to those inside, and they got out as quickly as pessitle, and all got away except John Laws, the proprietor of the joint, who was caught by Officer James Griffin. In the police court this morning it appeared that the two informers had also been gambling, and only “squealed” because they had lost. Laws was fined for allowing gambling on his premises, and the other two men for participating in it. A Pleasant Yachting Party. Last night there was a pleasant yachting party on board the steam yacht Americus, which steamed some distance down the river and returned by moonlight. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Samuel G. Brent, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Barley, Miss Lula Critcher, Miss Perrin, the Misses French, Judge Norton, Thomas Cockrell, John Critcher, Harry Yohc and Eugene B. Taylor. Admiral Colines of the Americus Yacht Club was in command. Mr. Lewis MeKensie’s Will. The will of the late Lewis McKenzie was admitted to probate in the corporation court yesterday. His estate was valued at $10,- 000, and was left to the children of his nephew, the Rev. Mr. Judkin, with the ex- ception of $200, which he left to the city, the interest on which is to be used by the mayor and city council to secure the serv- ices of a drummer and fifer to marth around town playing martial music early in the morning of each Fourth of July, as was the custom when he was a youngster. A codicil in his own writing bequeaths hi gold watch to his nephew, Lewis McK. Judkin; his picture of the Senate to his niece, Mary McK. Jenkins; also a picture of the ship General Washington, to the same; the sum of $00 is given to the Alex- andria Dispensary, evidently meaning in- firmary. Colored Normal Scheol. The Colored Normal Institute began its sessions with public exercises in Roberts Chapel last night, with about fifty teachers in attendance, representing most every ses- tion of the state. Dally sessions will be held. The ingtructors are D. W. Davis, conductor; I. W. Moore, Norman B. Pinn, J. F. Parker and Ida R. Harris. Gven to Fredericksburg. Rev. Father Kenefick, who for some time past has been assistant rector of St. Mai Church, has been transferred to Fredericks- burg. He will leave for his new field Fri- day. The members of the Young Men's Sodality Lyceum have been circulating a petition all the morning for signatures ask- ing that Father Kenefick remain in this city, and in alb probability a committee will go to Richmond tomorrow to ask Bish- op Vandeviver to change his decision. A meeting of the lyceum has heen called for tonight, at which the matter will be set- tled. Father Kenefick is much beloved in this city. Notes. Mr. Raymond Smith has resigned his po- sition as driver of the nose wagon for the Hydraulion fire company. Ida Freeinan hag been released from the work house on payment of her fine. Miss Anna Summers has gone to Cam- bridge, Md., for the summer. * Miss Marietta Minnigerode will sail from New York tomorrow for an extended Eu- Topeen tour. The Hydraulion fire company held a reg- ular meeting last night. The Friendship fire company will hold its monthly meeting tonight. The Fourth of July will be quietly cele- brated in this city. The funeral of Mr. Thomas W. Swann, whese death was mentione] in The Star, took place from his late residenee, “Mt. Auburn,” near this city, today at 1 o’ciock and was attended by a large number of friends and_ relatives. Mr. Wm. H. Hantzmon has been put in charge of the city gas works temporarily. Golden Light Lodge, I. O. O. F., held a regular meeting last night. — ee AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Many Interesting Local Netes From Across the Bridge. The late rains caused such a quantity of water to rush from the Georgetown Col- lege grounds at their southeast corner, and the sewerage facilities of the vicinity were so inadequate to carry it off, that a whole row of houses owned by Mr. Geotge W. King were injured through the backing of the water into the cellars. But for a sud- ren breaking of a retaining wall that al- lowed the water to escape the foundations would have been impaired. The sewerage plan of the section is lamentably defective. The annual picnic of the Tenleytown Bap@ist Sunday school was held yesterday at Piney Grove. The children, teachers and friends of the school were out in force and all had a happy time. Refresh- ments were given all. In the evening the grove was lighted with lamps and Japanese lanterns, giving it a fairy-like appearance. Mr. John E. Libbey left today for a short stay at Atlantic City, after a confinement at his home of nearly three weeks. William Ennis, a white man, while split- ting wood last night across the Aqueduct bridge, was struck in the eye with a flying piece ‘with such force that it was found necessary to convey him to the Emergency Hospital. It is probable that the man will lese his sight. - Officers Chas. Gilmore and Heide of this precinct have been raised to the second class, with increased salary. The Washington and Georgetown cable extension to the Aqueduct bridge is about to be undertaken. Permission has been ob- tained to occupy the streets with yokes and rails pending the preparation of the cable conduit. Jennie E. and Isaac Rosegrans and Amelia Sherman have transferred to D. B. ectora lot 150, in Beall’s addition, square ——.__ The Bicycle Bucked. Edward Marks, who is about eighteen years old, was brought here yesterday from Laurel by Detective Boardman be- cause it is charged he stole a bicycle from Clarence L. Palmer, the dealer at 429 10th street. Marks, it is claimed, called at the bicycle establishment Monday and hired a wheel, saying he would return in an hour. Instead of returning he made a start for Atlantic City. When he reached a point near Hyattsville the young man was tired, and when he attempted to do scme path riding to keep out of the mud he failed to steer the wheel properly and the result was that he took a header and went down the bank several feet. Un- fortunately Edward’s nose is of unusually large size, and, judging from his appear- ance after the wreck, no other part of his face touched the earth. When he had recovered from the effects of the fall a sympathetic countryman loaded the wheel and rider on his wagon and took them some distance. The rider recovered from the effects of the shock and then rode to Laurel, where he endeavored to sell the wheel for $5 and got arrested. He will now have to answer a_charge.of grand larceny, Night Appropriately. Ministers Present and Addresses of Interest Delivered—A Varied Pro- gram Presented. The parlors of Hamline M. E. Church, corner of 9th ang P streets, were prettily decorated last, night with the national colors and beaufified with palms and plants on the occasion. ef a reception tendered by the congregation upon the celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the church. Last Sunday spetial services were. held in commemoration of the organization of this thriving Methedist church, but as the exact date of the founding of the enterprise was July 2, 1865, additional observances took Place last night of more of a social than religious nature. Many distinguished min- isters of the Methodist church were pres- ent, several of them having served this particular church as its pastor at some time in their careers. De. Wilson Presided. Bishop John F. Hurst, who was expected to preside at the meeting last night, was unavoidably detained, and in his absence Dr. Luther B. Wilson, presiding elder of the Washington district, officiated. Some of the clergymen present were Rev. Oliver O. Brown, pastor of Foundry, who offered the opening prayer; Rey. Watson Case of Grace Church, who read the Scripture les- son; Rev. M. 'F. B. Rice of Trinity, Rev. J. H. Lemon of Gorsuch, Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale of Fifteenth Street Church, Rev. Alexander Belaski of Union, Rev. Job A. Price, pastor of Hamline from 18S4 to 1887, and Rev. H. R. Naylor, once presiding elder of the Washington district, and pas- tor of Hamline from 1887-to 1891. Some Addresses. Rev. Job A. Price made an address of special interest to the members of Hamline, touching on the question of lay representa- tion in the annval conferences, of which this congregaticn has always been a stanch supporter. He believed that lay- men should have a voice in the selection of ministers, and that also they should have -| part in the selection of presiding elders. itis remarks were most enthusiastically re- | ceived. Rey. Dr. Naylor paid a warm tribute to the men and women who have labored so earnestly for the good of the church, and expressed the hope that its membershi: would continue to be characterized, a3 always has been, by piety and fervor for good works. Rev. Dr. E. S. Todd, the pres- ent pastor, pronounced the benediction. Letters of regret were read from several former pastors, among them Rev. William I. McKenney and Rev. R. W. Black. The I of the church had charge of the ar- angements for the reception, eight of the original members of the church being mem- bers of the committee. Several musical selections were rendered by the church choir, and a soprano solo by M Julia Turner. There was also congregational singing of the inspiring sort. Sane eee EDITED BY WOMEN. An Edition of the Times I Behalf of a AVorthy Charity. The woman's eilftion of the Washington Times, under date,'9f July 4, appeared this morning, in order that the people who ate planning to ga qut of the city for Inde pendence day may have the privilege of obtaining a copy.’ This edition is issued in aid of the Home for Incurables, one of the most worthy charities in the District, the treasury of which is about depleted. There are funds ‘gnough on hand to run the establishment. through the present month, but ne: longer, and it is hoped by the ladies ‘who have charge of the edition ofthe Times this morning to replenish the coffers of the home. The paper is filled with the most interesting matter, all written by women, and the il- Plustrations are ‘trpmrthe: pencils ef some of Washington's best-known. women artists. The ‘papers, were sold today by the hun- dreds frem the business office of the Times at 10 cents each, while upstairs thousands more were being shipped to all parts of the country, and, indeed, there were pack- ages addressed to Europe. Some of the capital's most prominent. society leaders have taken a deep interest in the project, and although they are now at their sum- mer Eomes, they have undertaken to boom the enterprise. Mrs. Calvin S. Brice has ordered a quantity of the papers to be sent to her at Newport, while the needs of Bar Harbor, which promise to very great, are to be cared for by Mrs. Allan McLain and Mrs. A. €. Barney. Mrs. A. C. Tyler, at New London, and Miss Shepherd, at Sara- toga, have also ordered large numbers to be sent to them at those resorts. The editorial and business staff of the woman's edition is constituted as follows: Mrs. N. S. Lincoln, managing editor; Mrs. Mayo W. Hazeltine, literary editor; Mrs. Horatio King, scientific editor; Miss Kate E. Thomas, city. editor; Miss Anna Pro- vocst Thomas, telegraph editor; Mrs. Al- fred Clifford Barney, art editor; Mrs. J. R. McPherson and Miss Aileen Bell, musical editors; Mrs. Richard Mohun, juvenile de- partment; Marquise Lanza, foreign editor; Miss Katharine Read Lockwood, end of the century woman department; Mrs. G. H. Butler, travel and biography; Mrs. C. F. Parker, artist; Miss Cora C. Curry, our charities; Miss F. B. Johnston, artistic photographer; Mrs. Jessie McDermott Wal- cott, illustrator; business managers, Miss Marion S. West, treasurer; Mrs. Wm. A. Hammond, tecretary; Miss J. O'Reilly, assistant secretary; business office staff, Miss Maricn West, Miss Jennie O'Reilly, Miss Margaret Cox, Miss Sallie Cox, Miss Maud Davidge, the Misses Drain, Miss Mattie Tyler, Miss Edith Thomas, Miss Kate Roy and Miss McRoberts. There have been no new developments in the raflroad question since those stated in yesterday’s Star, but the impression is gen- eral among the citizens that the drivers and stablemen contemplate taking drastic measures shortly unless thelr request for increase of pay is conceded by President Griswold, and, as the latter has positively refused to grant more pay to. his men, an interesting state of affairs may reasonably soon be looked for. It is said that the men are in frequent communication with the authorities of the Street Railway Union having charge of their case, but both the latter and the Anacostia men plead ab- sence of knowledge on the subject when- ever the question is brought up. The Colored Methodist Episcopal Church of Hillsdale, of which Rev. G. G. Jones is pestor, and which has been recently re- modeled and renovated, will be rededicated Sunday next. The:pastor and members of the church are greatly pleased at the gift of a Bible from Sergeant W. T. Ariderson of the Anacost{# sr{bstation. A “Fete Champetye” for the benefit of St. Teresa's Catholic; Church, Rev. T. B. Tiughes, paster, will be held at “Fair Lawn,” the beautiful estate of the late Mr. Arther Christié, July 8 to 12, inclusive. Those in chargé wi}l be: Refreshment table, Mrs. Ella Hardy, ,assisted by the Misses Emma and fanie Bean, Alice Reagan, Sadie Bean, Eva Brauner, Hettie Diggs, Sarah eerie Jennie Bartley, Katle Rhodes and ‘anhy McAndrews; cigar stand, Miss Elly Quaid, assisted ‘by the Misses Lizzie ,Rhgdes, Effie Rhodes and Jennie Coleman; lemonade stand, Miss Rose Casper, assisted by. the Misses Nellie Leon- ard, Lizzie Brunsen_ and Annie Coleman; confectionery, “Miss Nellie Hardy, assisted by the Misses Lizzie Granger, Gertie Leon- ard and Mamie Casper; shooting gallery, Messrs. Ambrose and Raymond Bearer. The dancing will be under the direction of Mr. George Casper. James E. Clifford, who, it is alleged, Monday assaulted and beat Thomas P. Green over the head with an umbrella on account of a financial transaction, was last night notified by Policeman Reagan of the Anacostia substation that it will be necessary for him to appear in the Police Court today to answer the charge. The ladies of the Aid Society of Garden Memorial Church and their friends held a delightful lawn party last night on the grounds attached to the residence of Mrs. E. V. Dodge. The enterprise was intended to benefit the church, and was very suc- cessful . ‘Mrs. J. A. Garden, Mrs. J. C. Garden and Miss Maggie Garden have returned from a visit to friends in Ohio. cibles, Gen. Ordway’s Order Disbanding the Company—Poor Inspection Given as the Cause. The National Fencibles are no longer a part of the National Guard of the District of Columbia. They held a meeting last night behind closed doors, that being their regular monthly assembly, and an order was then read to them by Capt. Domer, their commanding officer, from Gen. Ord- way, commanding the guard of the Dis- trict, notifying the company that it was disbanded because #t has repeatedly failed to come up to the standard of efficiency at inspection. This order, the effect of which has been foreshadowed in The Star from time to time for several weeks, read as follows: GENERAL ORDERS, No. 12. Headquarters District of Columbia Militia, Washington, Juiy 1. 1. Under the provisions of section of the act of Congress, approved March 1, 1889, “to provide ‘or the organization of the militia of the District of Columbia,” company C, second battalion, is herepy disbanded, having been foun “duly + ordered inspection,” of May 6, “to have fallen below a proper standard of eff- ciency.” As a matter of fact, this company has never attained a proper standard of eifi- ciency. During the eight years of its serv- ice the inspecting officers have each year reported it as among the poorest in the brigade in gereral military efficiency, and, notwithstanding repeated official censures for its disregard of orders and regulations, its recent inspection demonstrated the fact that the company cannot be depended on to perform service that may be required of it in the National Guard, and therefore is rot worth the expense necessary to be in- curred by the United States and the District of Columbia to maintain it. Grounds a Surprise. e It will be seen that Gen. Ordway based his action upon grounds that were some- what of a surprise to guardsmen. It was currently expected by the well-informed that the Fencibles would be disciplined in some way, perhaps by elimination from the guard, for the poor attendance at the recent camp of instruction at Fort Wash- ington. Although the company had taken a large quota of men to the interstate drill at Memphis, they failed to repert for -luty at‘the camp with more than twenty men. Gen. Ordway had said that any command taking less than per cent of its strength ; to Fort Washington would be subject to | this action. At the May irspection, the anrval round of the general steif to size up the different battalions of the guard, the Fencibies were granted the ivilege of being inspected seperately, owing to the fact that they had made arrongements for a trip to Memphis in the near future. It was confidentiy ex- | pected, notwithstanding the rather poor showing of the cpmmand during the year at inspections, that on account of the ap- proaching competition the men would pass an Al ¢xamiration. But on that occasion, fit is said, a large percentage of the com- mand eppeared without uniforms and lined up at the left of the line in civilians’ elothes and czrrying canes and umbrellas in iieu of arms. In addition to this, the regular reports frcm the company have been sidly in arrears, and i: has been with difficulty that the officers at headquarters have been able to obtain official communi- cations from the company. The Wheel Turns. ‘These are a part of the reasons, it is said, that -iaduced Gen. Ordway to phrase his disbanding order in the terms that he selected. The order is far more severe than it was thought it would be, and leaves ncthing to be said by the commanding gen- eral. The effect of the disbandment is that the enlisted men will be left at liberty to apply for end receive honcrable discharges, or to remain members of the National Guard and be assigned to other commands. It is understood that a numher of the men will, at their own request, he transferred to the National Rifles. which recently join- ed the guard. The Fencibles were original- ly known as the ‘Rifles’ Cadets,” and it is ratural now, in the time of disbandment as a company of the guard, they should re- turn to the old parent organization. It is somewhat strange thct the one company should go out of official existence just as the other, which held out so long, goes into the militia system of the District. The Effeet. ‘The officers of the company will doubtless resign their National Guard commissions and revert to a civilian status. They are, of course, at Kberty to form any privaie organization of a military character, but they will be obliged to purchase arms of their own, as In a very short time Capt. Domer will be served with an order from headquarters notifying him of a time and place for turning. over the government property in his possession to the quarter- master general of the guard. He will also be rotified that the armory now used by the Fenetbles’ must be vacatal, and all the private effects of the now defunct crgariza- tion removed. Other orders, or perhaps the same ones, will furntsh him with informa- tion relative to the disposition of the men, who will all be toli that they may apply for honorable discharg2s if they so desire. After the meeting last night every mem- ber of the company preserved a strict si- lence, but Capt. Domer gave utterance to a few words of surprise at the severity and terms of Gen, Ordway’s order. ‘The principal effect of this action upon the Fencibles, if the members decide to continue the organization under the old name as a civil body of soldiers, such as the Rifles continued to be up to a recent date, will be to bar them from participa- tion in any more interstate drills, which are confined to commands that are a part of the militia system of the -ountry. Friends of the Fencibles Indignant. The friends of the National Pencibles are indignant cver what they consider the sum- mary and unnecessarily severe action of Gen. Ordway. One of them talked quite freely to a Star reporter today, because, as he said, the Fencibles themselves, as be- came good soldiers, would not talk of or criticise the action of their superior officers. “There is not,” he said, “a company in the National Guard, excepting, perhaps, the National Rifles, that is not really re- joicing at a consummation for which they have so devoutly wished. It is simply the result of strong jealousies on the part of the other companies of the National Guard —jealousies that have shown themselves in a thousand little ways, each insignificant in itself, but strong as a whole when ex- erted as an influence upon the command- ing officer. The papers have known and stated for some time past that the Fen- cibles would have to go. This was deter- mined some months ago. But how could they best be reached? Gen. Ordway knew that the Fencibles were composed of young men in business, whose time was not under their own control, and that the leaves ob- talz.ed to enable them to go to the inter- state drill at Memphis to defend the cham- picnship of the United States, which they kad held for several years, would inter- fere with their attendance at the recent encempment at Fort Washington. An order was accordingly issued to the effect that any company having an attendance at camp of less than 75 per cent of its mem- bership would be mustered out. _ “It was an easy way to carry out a pre- Geterminec intention of getting rid of this crack organization to pacify the clamor- ings of the jealops militiamen. But, alas! This scheme worked as a boomerang, for it was found that te carry out the pfovi- sicns of the order would mean a reduction of the entire Naticnal Guard to about one- half its precent membership. However, the Fencibles had to go, and it was not a dif- ficult matter to refer to their record of an- nual inspections—inspections made each year durirg the very hard work in which the members were engeged in preparing for their great national ccntests. It be- came necessary, to sacrifice this organiza- ticn to the good will and fellowship of some other organization, and it seems to have mattered little how it was to be done. Of course, it would be superfluous to say anything of the merits of the organization just mustered out. Every one knows that it has for years enjoyed the distinction of being the best-drilled company of tho guard, and for several years the champion of the entire United States. Gen. Ordway’s order has simply made martyrs of them. It has not injured their standing or reputa- tion in the m.nds of their friends—the best eltizens of Wasbington.” JAPANESE CABINET DISCORDS The Oorean Question Likely to Be Very Troublesome, * Chira’s Emperor Offends—The Anti- Chinese Riots—A Conspiracy Against Forcigners. VICTORIA, B. C.,, July 3.—The following news from Tokio, Japan, up to June 21, has reached here by the steamer Empress of China: A majority of the Japanese people refuse to accept the government's assurances that no European complications now threaten the peace of the empire and business re- mains stagnant. Count Ito seems resolved to cling to office as long as his position re- mains tenable. , Though the cabinet does not work har- moniously, more than one prominent mem- nified a desire to resign, it is felt by all that impending changes must be cautiously arranged and that no pretext for domestic disorder should be allowed to ap- pear. But it is by no means certain that program can be carried out as desired. ‘he Corean question presents many dif- ficulties. Count Inouye is believed to have entirely abandoned the task of regulating that troublesome monarchy. The Corean government is rapidly _giv- ing itself up to Russian influences. It is doubtful whether the Coreans will now yield to any course of treatment prescrib- ed by Japan. The queen controls the po- litical situation at Seoul and her hatred of the Japanese is undisgu‘sed. Unless Japan ts prepared to acquiesce in Bussia’s ambitious scheme in the penin- sula she must declare her intentions with- out delay. Chinese Emperor Again Offends. The Chinese emperor has again offended Japan by officially acknowledging the serv- tee of France and Russia in preventing the cession of the Manchurian province. The Pekin government has also affronted the new Japanese envoy by proposing that he shall not proceed to the capital until after he has settled with Li Hung Chang at Tien Tsin tbe question of giving back the unclaimed territory. The Japanese government answered that no business of any sort would be transacted out of diplo- matic order or before the !egations are re- opened at Pekin and Tokio. ‘Tue ships of war captured by the Japan- ese have been partiahy repairei at Port Arthur and brought over to the Japanese dock yards. A great merchant steamship company of Japan, known as the Usen- kaisha, is about to establish a regular line to Formosan ports. The safe of the United States ship One'da, sunk twenty-five years in Yoko- hama harbor, has just been recovered by ivers. Gold and silver to the amount of $3,500 were found. Chinese residents are rapidly returning to Japan. The northwestern ports of For- mosa are quiet, but the Chinese “Black Flags” are threatening Tai Wan, the for- mer capital. Tang, the fugitive president qf the abortive republic, has reached Shang- hal. Commander Banker and Lieut. O’Brien, naval and military attaches of “the United States legation, were entertained at din- ner June 18, by the emperor. Anti-Missio: 'y Riots in China. The anti-missionary riots in the Szechuan province occupy the exclusive attention of foreigners in China. Many deaths are re- ported, chiefly among natives and Roman Catholics, and the loss of property is esti- mated at $5,000,000 in the city of Cheng Tu alone. The French mission at this place was established 150 years ago, and claimed 30,000 converts. The four Protestant in- stitutions were gf modern origin. All have been destroyed and the occupants, includ- ing several ladies, are said to be in extreme danger, though the authorities of Pekin declare that measures will be taken for their protection. The French envoy pro- fesses to have absolute proof that the out- break" was directly instigated by the Sze- chuan viceroy, Liu Ping Chang, who has been implicably hostile to foreigners dur- ing his nine years’ reign. His term of office is about to expire and he has aimed to close his career with a crushing blow against the objects of his hatred. Copies of docu- ments signed by him or his subordinate officials, who unite in the.work of extirpat- ing missionaries, have been discovered and sent to the diplomatic body at the capital. Reassuring statements of the central gov- ernment are therefore received with sus- picion, especially as no communication with Possible victims can be opened. A Conspiracy Feared: ‘Telegrams sent to Cheng Tu by their friends remained unanswered up to June 10. Among the Americans and Europeans attached to Methodist and Baptist mis- sions are.Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Hart, Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson, Mr. and Mrs. Endi- cott, Mr. and Mrs. Hartwell, Mr. and Mrs. Kilborn, Mr. Hare and Miss Cady. Later advices say that anti-foreign dem- onstrations are now reported in all parts of the Szechuan province. A general con- spiracy, under direction of Viceroy Liu, is apprehenced. No direct news can be ob- tained from the imprisoned missionaries, but the Pekin authorities assert that their lives are not endangered. Gunboats are pushing up the Yang Tse river to the scene. Gen. John W. Foster received extraor- dinary attention in Japan during his brief stay. During the peace negotiations he won the unqualified esteem of the Japanese by his endeavors to establish a peace that ag be just and honorable to both par- ‘les. The confidence in which he is held by the Chinese is attested by their proposal to intrust their foreign affairs permanently to his guidance Liberal inducements were offered him to return and establish him- self at Pekin.

Agatha M., Ellen, Annie and Honoria, the four minor daughters of the late Pat- rick B. Dunn, have filed a petition, pray- ing that their guardian, Thomas M. Fields, render an accounting of certain funds re- ceived by him from Messrs. A. A. Birney and Clarence A. Brandenberg, receivers of the estate. The petition was filed by Ce- celia E. Dunn, a sister of the four girls, and it is claimed that Mr. Fields received from the receivers $11,583 in securities, on which he realized $7,866. It is claimed that he has not accounted for about $2,900, and a full accounting is, therefore, prayed for. —_>—_— A Suit for Damages. The tobacco firm of Scott & Co., occupy- ing part of the building at 466 Pennsyl- vania avenue, have filed a suit at law against Judson T. Morley, who occupies the third floor of the same building, claim- ing $2,500 damages. They allege that on the 3d of last month Mr. Morley allowed a sink to overflow, the water from which ran down upon their stock of goods, greatly damaging it.
