Let Baltimore Have the Encampment im *97. Baltimore wants to entertain the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Re- public in 1897, and, although the tribunal which will fix upon the location does not sit in session for a year to come, organiza- tion fs even now becoming effective to the erd that Baltimore may win the prize it seeks. There are a great many sound rea- sons why the Grand Army should once Tcre encamp in Baltimore. Baltimore fs a “hospitable city, and whenever it sets out to be conspicuously bountiful: it invariably succeeds. Baltimore is a pleasant place to spend two or threé days in. Baltimore is a southern city, and it seems to be the ex- perience of the Grand Army that the vete- rans receive mere attention somewhere in the latitude of the Potomac than they do when their anrual assembly takes place farther north. But more weighty than any other consideration that can be advanced in favor of Baltimore is the immovable fact that Baltimore is as one of Washington's suburbs. Less than an hour of railroad travel separates the two cities, so that it is easily possible to combine all that is de- lightful of Baltimore and some few of the pleasures that belong only to Washington within a brief space of time. Those Balti- moreans who are shouting “Baltimore in ‘07" into the ears of Grand Army men should add to their war-cry the enticing inducement, “And Washington forty miles away.” It is entirely rational to suppose that the attendance of veterans at Balti- More, should the encampment go to that city in 1807, would be 1lmost as large as it was when the gray-headed, warriors made this city their home in 1892. The tempta- tion to once more visit the national capital would bring thousands of the old soldiers and sailors to our neighboring city. ——___ + ee Washin; Plends*“Not Guilty.” It has been” announced in the public prinis that George Godfrey and Billy Woods, two professional bruisers, have been matched “to fight in Washington.” It probably cannot be denied that it is the intention of the two pugilists named to fight somewhere for a purse and for such of honor as can be pugilistically acquired, but it is certain that they will not fight wighin the limits of the District of Colum- bia; the meeting place is that unsavory resort where the so-called Eureka Club has its headquarters, and that is in the State of Virginia. There was a time when such contests were permitted in Washing- ton, but that time has gone by forever, so those who desire to be flagrantly lawless must perforce adjourn to one of the adja- cent states, and as there is much less of respect for law in-Alexandria county than there is in neighboring Maryland, most of the “events” are pulled off on the sacred soll of the state-that makes proud borst of its being “the mother of Presidents.” Incidentally, Washington's good name suf- fers also’ from the fact that alleged rac- ing which takes place across the river is - invariably credited in the newspapers to the nitional capital, although the people of this city have no more to do with the misgovernment of Alexandria county than they have with the municipal affairs of Sitka. Washington has sins enough of its own without being called upon to bear the oppressively heavy burdens that belong to Alexandria county. +++ _____ Disappointed as to Dunraven. -Americans who have long admired the sportsmanlike qualities of Lord Dunraven have been slow to change their old-time opinion of him, but there does not now appear to be anything else to do but reach the conclusion that Lord Dunraven per- mitted his temper to get the best of his ordinarily good judgment when he with- drew Valkyrie from the America’s cup con- tests.. Of course he had a right to withdraw his boat, if he saw fit to do so, but to the ordinary mortal it seems scmewhat absyrd that any one should invest a very large sum of money in a yacht and then go to the further trouble and expense of sailing that yacht from Europe, then to refuse an offer to wipe out a technical victory for an opposing yacht by resailing an unsatisfac- tory race and finally to declare that he wouldn't play anyhow. Dissatisfied Ameri- cans may, however, console themselves with undisturbed knowledge of the fact that Defender is a faster boat than Valkyrie; additional gratification is also to be ex- tracted from a reasonably crounded im- pression that Lord Dunrave |nows this also. ——_+ ++ Mr. Croker has discovered a campaign issue. Politicians who have not had their intellects enlivened by protracted residence abroad have endeavored to reach conclu- sions as to the best variety of war-whoop for the summer and autumn of 06, but if one was found it has been carefully con- cealed from the public. But Mr. Croker's mind is wide-awake and although he stands on English soil his sensitive fingers are upon the American pulse. “The fight next time,” sald he, “will be for the spoils only.” That is a very blunt way of put- ting it, but there is unfortunately too much of truth in the utterance. The quan- tity of spoils, however, will be much less in 1896 than during ‘any prior campaign, for the civil service rules have been again and again extended so that the number of | Offices to be distributed abong the heelers of high and low degree is comparatively small, and public sentiment is entirely in sympathy with whatever efforts may be made to work still greater diminution of the number. ——_+ es___ England doubtless looks forward to get- ting even with this country for that yacht- ing defeat in the next diplomatic contest that occurs. —\_+++___ Consctenceless Extertion. It is estimated by a correspondent of The Hotel Mail that the Knights Templars left all of two millions of dollars in Boston during the triennial conclave which has gust ended, and of this sum the hotels probably secured the lion’s share. “I know,” gald the correspondent, “of one hotel that got from $40 to $75 per day each for three small rooms for committee meet- ings. They were engaged for the week. One other hotel I know got $100 per day Yor a small room for private use. That ‘was all right if they chose to pay it.” It 4s not improbable that had allegations sim- far to theso made by a journal wholly de- Voted to hotel interests been placed before the public by some of the victimized there would have been an attempt by the hotels to make loud denial, but the statements in fhe Hotel Mail are not likely to be con- tradicted. To those who have had any @xperience in dealing with hotels there is @othing extpaordinary in the overcharges Srhich are elilirely too common whenever there is considerable demand for hotel accommodations, but it is rather astonish- ing to find a hotel organ declaring that it was all right for hotels to charge from $40 to $100 per day for the use of small rooms. It matters not whether the per- ‘sans renting the rooms were able to pay the amounts asked or not; the fact remains that the charges were impositions and not to be excused. That some—and only a small minority—of Washington's hotel- keepers have done what they could in times past to make hay while a conven- tion er an inaugural sun was shining will have to be admitted, but not even the most rapacious ever tried to indulge in such wholesale plundering as The Hotel Mail says took place in Boston a week or so ago. The advantages of Washington as a convention city have many times been pub- licly recounted, and not the least of them is the high average of hotel-keeping hon- esty which forbids such misconduct as that from which many of the Knights Tem- plars who were at Boston suffered so mate- rially. ——++«—____- ‘We May Play for the Temple Cup. New York's baseball club, which was quite naturally anxious to play the Temple Cup series with the league champions of the present year, is doomed to disappoint- ment in this matter of considerable import- ance. The Temple Cup series of games is by far the most profitable thing in baseball] and as the profits invariably go to the play- ers themselves the New Yorkers were of course anxious to secure at least one more chance at the,box-office. A majority cf the clubs have decided, however, that the series must be played between the clubs’ holding first and second place respectively at the close.of the season, so that the New York club, which won the cup last year, has no rights as to the cup that anybody is bound to respect. The decision is entirely sen- sible, for a club that might play well enough one year to win the trophy can easily suffer such a change of form as to te wholly unfit to defend it twelve months later. Baseball is liable to many mutations. Clubs that are well up on the board today may be tearing wildly down the toboggan a week or two hence. Or it may be that they will climb. In 1893 the Washington team was tail-ender—right at the tip-end cf the tail too; last year there was marvelous advancement, “and as a result our much- admired aggregation of athletes finished in eleventh place; great improvement has been manifested in the present season and if the fates are only kind to the ball team which is said to have its habitat in cur midst we may look for the unprecedented honor of being tenth out of a possible tweive. This Temple Cup controversy is deeply interest- ing to Washington, for at the preseat rapid rate of progression our team will probably have to play for the mug in the year which witnesses the completion of the city post- office. —_—__ + 6 ____ A fleeting newspaper-paragraph an- nounces that Christopher Columbus, a nephew of the Duke of Veragua, and a cirect descendant of the other Christopher Columbus, who-has frequently been refer- ted to as the discoverer of America, fs in Cuba engaged in the rather difficult job of crushing the Cuban rebellion. Young Chris- topher is only a sub-lieutenant just now, but he is quoted as saying that before the revolution ends he expects to become a captain. His expression of this expecta- tion may mislead people; there are a good many Americans who tmagine that unless promotion in the Spanish army is very slow indeed the youthful Christopher will have ample opportunity to become a colonel, and maybe a brigadier. general, before Spanish authority is once more supreme on the island. The youthful Heutenant should be warned by the fate of his illustrious an- cestor. The original Christopher did more for Spain than any other man who bowed to Spanish authority, but not even his mag- nificent achievements could save him from imprisonment and other humiliation. The Cclumbus family seems to be on the, wrong Side of the question this time. ———_+ +s ___ Evidence of the strength ef the Hawaiian republic is to be found in the liberal treat- ment which is being accorded Mrs. Dom- inis, who was onetime queen of Hawaii. Her ex-majesty has, in company with a number of other more or less active con- -spirators against the republic, been granted full and free pardon, and will undoubtedly be permitted to reniain on the Islands so long as she behaves herself in accordance with the statutes by which the youngest of republics 1s being ruled. The few Amer- icans who have been harsh in their criti- cisms of the present government of Hawail may now, if they are capable of so doing, make calm comparison of the ex-queen’s demand for the heads of her enemies and the humane conduct of those who really had suflicient cause for severely punishing Mrs. Dominis and a number of her associ- ates. | a Foraker in the Senate would mean a few more rifts in the lethargy that has been cul- tivated~in that body under the impression that it is dignity.

The international yacht races off the New Jersey coast between the Defender and Valkyrié for the possesion of the America’s cup absorbed general attention for the greater part of the week; universal regret was felt that the contest should be a fiasco; Defender fairly won the first race by 8 min- utes 49 seconds; Valkyrie won the second, but was disqualified for interference at the_ start, and the race given to Defender; Lord Dunraven refused to sail the third, owing to the cup committee’s refusal to declare the race void if elther boat was hampered by outside craft; he crossed the line and returned to New York.’ The national en- campment, G. A. R., at Louisville, elected I. N. Walker commander-in-chlef, and se- lected St. Paul, Minn., as the place for the next encampment. Nearly a hundred peo- ple were more or less injured vy the col- lapse of the stand at the fireworks display in-Louisville.

The republican campaign in Ohio was opened. at Springfield; speeches were made by Senator Sherman, Gov. McKinley, Gen. Bushnell and «-x-Gov. Foraker. There was surprise in financial circles when Lazard Freres of the bond syndicate ordered $2,500,000 gold; J. Pler- pont Morgan announced that the contract to Keep up the gold reserve had been com- pleted, but that support would be given to the treasury; there were rumors of an- other bond issue. The national flag was raised at Camp Daniel S. Lamont, Chicka- mauge,Chattanooga National Military Park. A cyclone struck the depot at Cape Vincent, and a number of passengers were badly hurt. Surgeon General Wyman gave as- surances that the quarantine service on the Pacific gives adequate protection against the introduction of cholera. from Hawaii. Capt.

A consignment of 6,000 Bibles and other missionary books to the Armenian missionaries in Turkey was stopped by the Turitish authorities at Bey- rout. Army maneuvers at Stettin included a realistic representation of a battle, witich lasted several hours and which was wit- nessed by Emperor William and Emperor Francis Joseph. Florencio Bustamente, one of Ezeta's lieutenants, was seized by the Salvador authorities on board an American ship. James Ashbury, who brought the yachts Cambria and Livonia to America in 1870 and 1871, respectively, to compete for the America’s cup, is dead. In the District. President Newbold of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home R. R. Co. announced through his attorney that the road would voluntarily abandon the use of the over- head trolley and that the poles on New York avenue would be down within a space of ten days; in consequence the prosect- tions against the read were postponed. The Star published the echedule of street im- provements for the next fiscal year. The garbage centractor, after consultation with the Commissioners, decided to adopt the Smith and Brown crematories for use in the District; the Commissioners repri- manded him for permitting his agents to interfere with the complaints of citizens. Attorney Thomas rendered an opinion tnat under an old act of the legislative assembly, to which attention was called by The Star, the steam railroads entering the city can be made to protect the grade crossings. The fortieth national convention of Good Samaritans was held in Washington and C. HH. Marshall of this city was chosen Na- tional Grand Sire.
