Seidl LORD SALISBURY His Probable Course in the Venez- uelan Question. ——— TORKISH TROUBLES MAY AFFECT If He is There, However, Treading on Familiar Ground. THE PRESIDEN NT’S DUTY ——————— Interest in Lord Salisbury, both as diplo- mat and statesman, is now very great. That he is an able man of the first class 1s con- ceded, and that he has a large majority at his back in parliament is well known. While not so showy or rhetorical as Lord Beaconsfield or Mr. Gladstone, he ts ac- credited with parts more solid than either, and with the fighting qualities behind his mask as a diplomat that have made his race famous. How may such a man be expected to carry himself in this Venezuelan busi- ness? ‘There is an impression in certain quarters that the present complications in Turkey will operate as a restraining influence on Lord Salisbury when he faces this way. He is playing the leading part there, and it is held that he already has his hands full on his side of the water. It may be. And then again !t may not be. Treading Familiar Ground. As the Turkish matter has been brought up, it 1s thought to be well to remember that Lord Salisbury is treading familiar ground there. The situation in its leading aspects is strikingly like that he met and in the end mastered twenty years ago. It ought not to give him much, if any, more trouble than that situation did. England took then, as she is taking now, the lead- ing part in lecturing Turkey for her bar- barism, and insisting on reforms in the in- terest of humanity. Lord Salisbury was her spokesman, her special commissioner. He met Russia and all the rest of them at Constantinople. The difficulty had grown out of the Bulgarian rising, which Turkey had put down with her bloody hand. Eni lend, Russia and the other Christian pow- ers over there demanded reforms and the establishment of an international commis- sion for the reorganization of Bulgaria. ‘This the sultan, after the usual and useless interchange of meaningless forms, refused to grant. At last Lord Salisbury, after sending an exceedingly pointed note to the porte, withdrew from the conference and returned home. The step showed pluck on his part, and the English people sustained him enthusiastically. The Berlin congress grew out of this, and to that consress Lord Salisbury was sent as Lord Beaconsfield’s first assistant. There the English triumgh was complete. The sultan was brought to terms, Russian aggression was checkmated and a European war averted. A Similar Situation. A mere glance shows how very much the present situation is lke that situation. Here again is the same story of bloody work by the Turks against their Christian neighbors, the protest of the Christian powers against that work, with England as chief spovesman, und the Turkish au- thorities, as always, long on promises and short on performances. No special English commissioner {s on hand, but an English fleet is. Russia, Germany, Italy and the other powers also have ships within easy distance. While the situation Is grave, Lord Salisbury understands {t thouroughly. Why should his hands be full with that? The Only Difference. The only difference between the two situ- ations is in Lord Salisbury’s favor, so far as his government should care to note it. The contention of twenty years ago was pitched on ground of Lord Salisbury’s own choosing. He helped formulate the policy he went to Constantinople, and afterward to Berlin, to have adopted. He therefore not only understands his case, but was in an author's complete sympathy with it in all of its phases. The present contention was formulated by the liberals, largely un- der Gladstonian influence. The work is not sich as Lord Salisbury himself would have turred out. But his is the English idea of a foreign policy. He stands up loyally for what has been done in Engiand’s name, even by his opponents in domestic affairs and is insisting on the contention in the east as stoutly as if he and his friends had raised it and set it afoot. | Duty of the President. May 10t Lord Salisbury he expected to follow this same course in this Verezuelan affair? The question in one form or an- other has been approved by former Brit- ish ministers. And if his note skews that he has done this and that ts understood to be the case; if he refuses arbitration on such points of the case as will leave England, in the popular interpretation over here, a violator of the Monroe doctrine, what will be the duty of the President? Obviously, it is insisted, to stand up as stoutly for what former American adminis- trations have contended for on the subject of American rigats and influences on this side of the water against all the world. “Stand up to him,” is likely to be the cry from Maine to Texas, and to bring into f@il voice once more what Mr. Lincoln char- acterized as “the chorus of the Union.” Cavalier Against Roundhend. And if the contention takes this turn there will be an actual, lineal revival, after two centuries and a half, of the spectacle of a cavalier pitted against a roundhead. Lord Salisbury comes of cavalier stock. The Cecils are high up in the scale in Eng- land. Mr. Olney, who is holding the pen for the United States, is a son of the puri- tans. If he will show in t business the traits of that in his reward may be a great monument some day. He'll not be Present to inspect its erection, of course, Dut it will go up all the same Bae ae OYSTER DREDG vic IMS OF SRS. Three Cases of*Inhuman Treatment in Chesnpenke Bay. Although it ts yet early in the oyster sea- son stories of hardship and suffering have already reached here and Sanitary Officer Frank has had three cases during the past week. In only one of the three cases did the unfortunate man complain of having been actually assaulted. He was Frank Hunter, who was put ashore at Cedar Point elght days ago. He had received a severe injury, the result of being kicked, and he was In such a deplorable condition when he appear- ed that he was sent to Providence Hospital. Saturday he was able to leave the hospital, and was given transportation to Baltimore. When put ashore at Cedar Point he was without funds and had to make his way here the best he could. A Frenchman, who belongs in Baltimore, named William Cillette, was another of the trio of victims of oyster dredgers. The In- dex finger of his right hand was chopped oft on one of the dredges, which nece: his quitting work, and he was put @ place called Claremont. He transportation home. This morning a German named William Werbeck was the only victim to call. The oyster shells had crippled his hands, and, like most others who are disabled, he was put ashore without funds. Britton’s Bay was the place where he left the boat. He Feached here this morning and was suffer- ing to such extent that he was sent to the hospital. Sanitary Officer Frank, in conversation with a Star reporter, said he thought the Baltimore officials ought to pay some atten- tion to these cases of cruelty and prosecute the oystermen. The dredgers, he said, have to pure! their outfits from the owners or captains the boats and are charged exorbitant pri for what they get. For these, he sald, the pay by their labor and from what the vic- tims told him they seldom get more than a few dollars cash during an entire season. _ Oo The Cleveland express on the Pittshy and Lake Erie railroad ran into a freight train at Newport, Pa., Saturday.

Plans Erepened for Running an Ana costia Coach Line. ‘The management of the coach line be- tween Anacostia and the navy yard termi- rus of the cable line today passed into the hands of the executive board of District Assembly, No. 66, Knights of Labor, the Street Railway Assembly having found, it is said, that they were unable with the comparatively limited facilities at their cemmand to offer sufficient inducements to the traveling public to get the latter to re- fuse to patronize the cars of the Anacostia line to an extent that would have any ap- preciable effect om the revenues of: the rail- way company. In consequence of this Master Workman Fenton of the Carriage and Wagonmakers’ Assembly has begun negotiations with Su- perintendent Samuel G. Eberly of the Herdic Phaeton Company of Washington for the purchase of six one-horse herdics, which, as above stated, will be put in competition with the cars if the deal is completed. _ In speaking of the matter today to a Star reporter, Mr. Eberly said that the herdic company will willingly sell the number of herdics which District Assembly 66 desires to buy, and which will carry from twenty to twenty-five passengers each, if a price can be agreed upon. A K. of L. official stated that it is the intention of the executive board, if the ve- hicles for which the deal is now being made are secured, to extend the reute oi the coaches to 1th and G streets north- west, and to carry passengers for three cents. He also said that it is the further in- | tention of the District Assembly from this time until there shall be no further need for assistance to care for all families of locked-out men, and said further that if necessary for the purpose of securing & victory over the railway management they would appeal through the general execu- tive board to the Knights of Labor throughout the United States for financial aid, which, he claimed, has been assured the executive board of D. A. 66. Mr. Lawrence May Take Charge. It is reported that overtures have been made to Master Workman Lawrence of the railway assembly to resign his position as a conductor for the Metropolitan Railway Company and devote his entire time to the management of the coach line and other inatters in which the members of the rail- way assembly generally, as well as the locked-out men, are interested. A member of the committee having the matter in charge told the Star reporter that a bill is being prepared by them for presen- tation to Congress, the purpose of which will be to compel all the lines in the District to exchange free transfers, at the same time repealing that clause of a law now on the statute books which says the companies ramed shall make “reciprocal” transfer ar- rangements. Already several conferences have been held ir reference to the matter, and it 1s contemplated after the bill shall have Teen perfected to call a mass meeting of the citizens of Anacostia to further con- sider the subject. It is claimed that if Congress shall enact the proposed law its enforcement will be of much benefit to the Anacostia Railway Com- pany, as well as to hundreds of citizens of Anacostia and Hillsdale, whose occupation being in the various departments and in the government printing office and bureau of engraving and printing, are for the most part compelled, if they wish to ride to their employment, to pay two fares. eee TOO BIG TO CARRY. But a Moon-Eyed Celestial! Was Ar- rested for Owning the Pistol. A Colt’s frontier revolver almost the size of a small gatling gun, a cross-eyed China- man and Policeman Mohl attracted a larce crowd of spectators it. front of police head- quarters about noon today. The appear- ance of the big weapon caused some excite- ment, for the lookers-on thought that a serious crime had been committed. But the Chinaman nad not used the weapon. In fact, the weapon was not even loaded, and if John Chinaman’s statement Is to be believed. he did not have a cartridge in his laundry on C street near the Baltimore and Ohio depot. He was on his way to the express office, he said, to ship the weapon to his cousin in Chicas >, who had befriended him during the world’s fair. This explanation fell upon the officer with no greater impression than the dropping of water on a duck’s back, for the laundryman was taken across the street, where Judge Miller held a special session of the court to hear the case. Mr. Pugh, who got a glimpse of the celes- tial when he entered, warned the judge not to look at him, but the judge had seen Moy pered that he had done the necessary thing to ward off the “hoodoo.” “Carrying a pistol,” the policeman said, was the charge against him. “What?” asked the judge, “A pistol? I call that.a gatling gun.” The evidence of the policeman was heard, together with the statements as to what Sing had said about expressing the weapon. Sing made his statement to the same ef- fect, told how he had started for the ex- press office and had been arrested, and de- nied that he had called at the court this morning to get a warrant. “Yes, he did,’ said Mr. Pugh. “I saw him when he called and asked for the warrant.” Sing repeated his denial, and Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny quietly remarked: “The evidence of the Chinaman and Mr. Pugh is tefore your honor. Mr. Munroe, a friend of the celestial, who is teaching him English, and Col. Cook, his counsel, said something in his behalf, and the case was closed. Mr. Mullowny thought that although there was a technical violation of law, the case did not call for severe punishment, and the taking of Sing’s personal bonds would satisfy him. Judge Miller said that the carrying of such weapons was not to be tolerated, but in this cz he thought the inaman did not intend to use the pistol on any one. His Personal bonds were taken, and the destruc- tion of the weapon ordered, so that the in- former gets nothing. es THE SAENGERBUND CONCERT. It Was Well Attended and an Exe lent Program Was Prese: The Washington Saengerbund gave their first concert of the season at the Acade of Music last evening, a large audience being present, and an elaborate program presented.

Mrs. Meads-Sm‘th sang an aria from “Lucia di Lammermoor,” ren- dering it in good voice and with fine ef- fect. Miss Alice Burbage shared fully one- half the honors of the evening by her fine work on the piano. She played Mendei sohn’'s First Piano Concerto, with orche tra, and althorgh the composition is I and exceedingly difficult, she acquitted her- self splendidly. For her second number she played two Liszt transcriptions, i which her excellent technique and m cianly intelligence were fully demonstrated. The orchestra played well in a number of sclections, and added not a little to the s of the evening. The cantata of ‘Columbus, by Mohr, was perhaps the st ambitious work that the bund has attempted, but it was sung with good ¢f- fect and n, the solos being render- ed by Mr: , Soprano, and Mr. Frank Rebstock, baritone.

The Most Brilliant Feature of the Atlanta Exposition. SCENES FROM FORESTRY ROOF GARDEN Appearance of the Grounds by Night. od CHICAGO’S FAIR SURPASSED —— ee Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ATLANTA, Ga., December 7, 1895. A bewildering array of jewels set in the garments of the late autumnal dusk, the shimmer of gcld upon the waters laid there by myriad lights, the moon full and high in the heavens, while toward the east and west the horizon blushes with the last tender light of day. grandest reality of the Atlanta exposition. Chicago could boast of a grander architec- tural view in daytime, but the flatness of the ground on which those buildings were placed gave them a disadvantage which the Atlanta exposition buildings have avoided, set as they are in a circle high on hills sur- rounding a plateau and a lake. The il- lumination is grander than tongue, pen or canvas can picture. It is one thing which the visitors even from New York and Chi- cago declare to be unexcelled at any former fair. The finest vision that one could wish is to be obtained from.the forestry roof garden, near the Midway Plaisance. If you want to find this unique world of twinkling dreams go there m the early, balmy twilight, and watch the world open her eyes. Below you lies the lake and far beyond it in the north- east corner stands the little Japanese vil- lage, with the electricity building, whose splendid arches of light throw a cloth of gold and carmine upon the waters, on the left. The woman's building—white, serene, a fine lady of architecture—has a crown of light upon its dome, and is encircled about by jewels. On the lake there starts forth like fairy barks in search of the golden fleece myriads of tiny launches hung with Japanese lan- terns, boats meet for a dream voyage. They pass and repass, circling about the electric fountain as gaily dressed pages about a queen. . But soon the sight of them grows dim in the opening tints of the up-starting mystic water, upon which is thrown, from the searchlight In the midway, every color of the rainbow. Now it is all the green of an emerald fit for the garment of Undine he: self; now it is a tender lilac like the glow at the horizon; now sentimental blue that changes suddenly into the startling glory of red and gold. Just across the water outstretches the plaza, its green and terra cotta turf set in Jewels like an oriental platter. To the right of the forestry building comes ma- chinery hall, with its ciassic white columns and arches studded with lights. On the left, high upon the hill, stands agricultural kall, the auditorium and the Georgia build- irg, all in the heydey of their illuminated splendor Next, just a bit back, sits modest Pennsylvania, small and white, like a Quaker maiden arrayed for her wedding withgancestral jewels. A bit above her s the Piedmont Club house, brown and in its cluster of trees; then there fol- dashing New York, strung with more Jewels than any of her girls have bought with a title. The temple of fine arts is next in the sequence, a serene and beautiful bene- dictory presence, its white columns inlaid with amber stars, its mural frieze framed in light. The Government Building. The government buiding is higher still on the elevation and fronts the grand stair- way, with its stately pedestals and white figures, and just in front of it is the chimes tower, a luminous point, pressing its vibrant glittering palpitations into blue sk: Below on the left stands manufacture nd liberal arts, each window be cross of glittering gold-a_ cro unintentionally but poten neverthel of the meaning of industrial labor, its bu dens and its glittering reward. This completes the chain of prominent edi fices set among he heights above the plaza, and in the pause of d when even the midway ceases from its restless throng and its howling spielers; when the vender of unt Jemima’s pancakes is himself partak- g of that vaunted refreshment; when the Wild West show is eating wild west flesh for its supper; when the Mexican showmen and bull fighters are partaking of food even hotter than their tempers—now and then comes tc one’s the tinkling hells of a Spanish dancer, the refrain of a negro labor- er on his homeward way, the soft voice of a hild Usping her delight, the laughter of a pair of lovers to whom the picture is Para- ise with two people in it. The little but- terfly babes in the Japanese village over there are serving tea in that deft, noisel way that the waters near by would offer a flower to the shore. Just Before the Fireworks. The fireworks are soon to bétin, and as the day dies the vast day sound of human feet is heard on the bridge, and the lake by the Japanese village is surrounded with an expectant crowd. The bell rings for the cake walk in the Old Plantation as the old negro “mammy” peals out her invitation. The spielers begin again te turn the mid- into a Tower of Babel. The fakirs screeching their fakes into the ea of the passer-by, and £o the world wake cence more from its silent and poetic dream. The ex ion of human life, indced, is her crowds strugeling toward the fireworks and leaving the dream boats and the mystic fountain behind to have e and e: seped through with cracklir rockets and whirligigs of flame.

The contest over the estate of the late Michael Crane, who died February 15, 1804, was placed on trial before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 1 this morning, Mrs. Mary E. Sweeney, a sister of the deceased, contesting the will. The estate is valued at about $40,000, and the will of the dead man, made June 19, 1893, appointed Mr. R. Ross Perry and the National Safe Deposit Savings and Trust Company as 2xecutors and trustees of the estate. After bequeathirg $1,000 to Mrs. Sweeney and $500 to Mary Murphy, an aunt, the residue of the estate was bequeathed to the executors in trust for the St. Vincent, St. Ann’s and St. Joseph’s Orphan Asylums and to the Little Sisters of the Poor, they to divide the residue of the estate equally among these institutions after setting aside the sum of $300 for the care of the grave of the testator and a like sum for them- selves. It claimed by Mrs. Sweeney that her brother, at the time of making his will, was of unsound mind, ard that the will was the result of the alleged urdue representations, suggestions and importunities of one or more persons. The beneficiaries under the will are represented by Messrs. R. Ross Perry & Son, Messrs. A. S. Worthington and H. W. Sohon appearing on behalf of Mrs. Sweeney. Testimony was submitted today tending to show that the testator was cranky and of unsound mind during the last ten years of his life. ae Adventures of a Wedding Party. Thomas Kinselli, C. J. S:ansbury, Fannie Minor and another young woman who claimed to be Fannie’s sister were arrested Saturday afternoon by Officer Atkinson on Prince street, Alexandria, charged with be- ing drunk and disorderly. Mayor Thompson yesterday morning gave them a hearing. It appears that Kinselli and Fannie Minor went to Alexandria from Washington to get married. They visited several clergy nen, who told them that they would first have to secure a jicense. Finally Miss Minor was taken to the infirmary, apparently sick. ‘The women were put to bed. The men tried to get in the hospital several times, ard upon being refused, became, it is charged. rather disorderly. The women were turned out, and they joined the men, but it was not long before an officer met them and es- corted them to the station house, where they spent the night. Mayor Thompson yes terday morning, after hearing the evidence, fined them $5 each. Fannie positively deried that she had been drinking, and this state- ment was corroborated by the others. It vas understood that Fannie and Kinselli wouid be married in this city today. _— Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: Charles R.

Judge Miller said he thought the boy ought to be taken home and given a whipping, but there was no one in court to promise that such punishment would be inflicted, and therefore he fined the boy $5 or fifteen days in Jail.

Will Prohibit American Sheep. If, as reported from London, Great Brit- ain Intends to prohibit after January the importation of American sheep, it is quite probable that there will be a vigorous protest from this government. Four or five years ago this government, through the representations of the Department of Agriculture, succeeded in getting the En- glish government to remove the restriction which required the killing of American sheep when they landed at the docks in Great Britain, and they were then per- mitted to be taken inland and fed for kill- ing. The industry, which was then very small, has grown to large proportions, the exportations during the fiscal year 1894 Pane 80,000 head, and 1895, 350,000 ead. Lieut. White's Resignation. Lieut. C. M.
