Sydenham Torbert, secretary, were unanimously re- elected for the ensuing year. A new assignment of cases for Prof. John- son’s :noot court is reported by Mr. H. Prescott Gatiey, clerk of the court. Five new cases have been given out for the pres- ent term, with four students assigned on each case. Election at Georgetown. The Debating Society held a meeting last week, and an exciting election was held for the office of president of the class. After a proiracied struggle Mr. James A. Ryan, who is private secretary to Senator Bate of Tennessee, was declared duly elected. Mr. Ryan was placed in nomination by Mr. Cnas. A. Calhoun of Georgia, The junior class held a meeting on last Tuesday evening, but in the absence of suf- ficient members to constitute a quorum the meeting was postponed without the trans- action of any business.

With Whom Should Americans sy pathizet ‘To the Editor cf The Evening Star: *° Mr. Morgan of Alabama has proposed a resolution congratulating the Boer president on his struggle for liberty. As an English- man, I venture to ask whether that term “liberty” is not somewhat inapplicable in this case. The thirteen states rebelled against England on the ground of “taxation without representation” in the name of “liberty,” being English colonists. The Cubans are struggling against Spain in the name of “liberty.” The American colonists in Hawaii rebelled against the native gov- ernment in the name of “liberty.” If Ca- radians or Australians declared their inde- pendence, you would doubtless consider that they had obtained “liberty,” and congratu- late them. Yet, here is a large body of Eng- lish colonists in the Transvaal under sub- jection to the Boers, an ignorant, unpro- gressive race. The English colonists have introduced vast capital into the country and as a result large towns have sprung up, business is flourishing and prosperity abun- dant on ail sides. The colonists are in a majority of three to ope, yet that which George Washington and the signatories to the Declaration of Independence declared to be the rights of freemen—“to tax them- selves’’—is refused these, who are also Eng- lish colorists. They are protesting against exactly what your ancestors rebelled against —‘‘taxation without representation.” They have been unsuccessful, because Great Bri- tain ordered its citizens not to participate in that rebellion. Now, you propose to con- gratulate the Boers ‘on having retained their “liberty” to “tax without representation” English colenists, a system of taxation which you, as English colonists, declared to tke world was so iniquitous. Let me sup- pose that the British colonists in South Af- rica throw off their allegiance to Great Bri- tain, as a result of the British government suppressing the attempts of their fellow countrymen to protest by force of arms against that which your forefathers pro- tested against. You would doubtiess pass a resolution congratulating them, too. If, as a free and independent republic they pro- ceeded to right the wrongs of their com- patriots in the Transvaal, which side would you congratulate then? Would it be a re- public, which had thrown off its allegiance to Great Britain, or the unprogressive, edu- cation-hating Boer, who, if not exactly a Mormon, practices matrimony and con- cubinage under the same roof. Why should your sympathies be against England in Af- rica? England which out of its national treasury paid $100,000,000 for and freed its planters’ negro slaves; England, which pro- Libits the sale of death-dealing intoxicants to the natives; England, which alone in the world has for fifty years maintained a fleet to suppress the horrors of the African slave trade—a trade which pays the slave hunter if only ore out of every ten captives reaches the coast alive.

SEVERAL — POSSIBILITIES Norfolk and Western Road Has a Bill in Virginia. MENTIONED OTHER RAILROAD NEWS The regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company will be held in Balti- more Wednesday of this week. Three weeks ago it was expecied that the committee which was intrusted with the responsibility of selecting an executive head for the company would be then able to make its report, but it is now thought that the most the committee will do in that directicn will be to report the progress that it has made. Mention has heretofore been made in The Star that it was understood that overtures have been made to President M. H. Smith of the Louisville and Nashville system to induce him to leave his present piace, which is said to be very congenial to him, and assume the responsibilities which are attached to the office of president of the Baltimore and Ohio, but the latter place, it is asserted, does not seem particularly attractive to Mr. Smfth and he has in ef- fect declined the offer mzde him. Other names are row mentioned in con- nection with the Baltimore and Ohio presi- dency, but it is believed the vacancy will not be filled for several months, as Col. Alexander Shaw, chairman of the finance committee, has, as stated in The Star of Wednesday last, made satisfactory ar- rangements in reference to the payment of the most pressing claims, and it is desired by the directors to secure a man who is not cnly a gcod financier, but is also thoroughly conversant with practical railway manage- ment, if it be possible to do so. The situation in this respect is rendered somewhat more eesy of solution by the fact that Mr. Mayer has consented to re- main as president of the company until his successor shall be choren. Mr. Felton. Prominent among the names of those now spoken of in this connection is Mr. Samuel M. Felton, general manager for that part of the Queen and Crescent route which has not passed under the control of the Southern Railway Company. Though in the prime of life, Mr. Felton has had great success as a railway man. It may be said that he was born in the business, for his father, Mr. Samuel M. Felton, was at the time of his death and for many years pre- ceding that event president of the Phila- delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Raii- road Company, and was regarded by many as the best executive officer the road had up to the pericd when it was merged into the Pennsylvania railway system. The younger Felton began his railway ex- perience at the bottom of the ladder, and has gradually worked his way up to the Present very enviable position in the rail- way world occupied by him. First he was a rodman in an engineering corps of the company, of which his father was presi- dent. Later he became successively brake- man, conductor, train dispatcher and super- intendent on varicus parts of the Pennsyl- vania system, and a few years since was made general manager of the Queen and Crescent route, as the line connecting Cin- cinnatt and New Orleans is called. In this position he has achieved signal success, and has come to be regarded as one of the most thoroughiy capable railroad men in the United States. Ex-Gov. Brown. The name of ex-Governor Frank Brown of Maryland has also been suggested in some quarters as a suitable successor to President May He is president of the Baltimore Traction Company, a place which he has held for a couple of years only, but in that time he has been able to demon- strate to the great financial magnates who own that and most of the other principal rapid transit lines in the United States that he possesses remarkable skill as the man- ager of large financial operations. - Vice President Kin; It is conceded in many quarters that were it not for the peculiar conditions which sur- round Baltimore and Ohio affairs, and his own advanced age, First Vice President Orland Smith of the Baitimore and Ohio could have the presidency if he would ac- cept. Though modest and retiring in the extreme, he is considered by those most competent to judge an ideal railway man- ager. He was a builder of Ohio roads be- fore the war, and entered the Union army, where, for gallantry in many battles, he won the rank and was appointed to the grade of brigadier general of United States volunteers, which he held at the time of the disbandment of the army upon the re- turn of peace, in 1865. Since the organization of the great Trunk Line pool a few months ago Gen. Smith has spent moet of his time in New York, where the headquarters of the pool are lo- cated, engaged in looking after the im- portant Interests of the Baltimore and Ohio at its greatest eastern outlet. Another Possibility. Second Vice President Thomas M. King at one time was thought to be slated for the vacant presidency, but is now thought by those best informed on Baltimore and Ohio affairs to be practically out of the race, but his most intimate friends regard him as the dark horse in the field, and be- lieve that if it shall be determined to have a practical man at the head of the road, al- lowing him to look mainly after the phys- ical operations, while the finances could be managed by another official, he will, on ac- count of his intimate knowledge, be ele- vated to the presidency. ‘There is also a vacancy in the Board of directors of the road, caused by the resig- nation of Mr. William F. Burns, and it is generally believed in banking circles that this will be filled by the election of a New York man, who will be selected by the four New York members of the board. Mr. Burns was one of the oldest directors of the road and his retirement is looked upon with much regret, and is said to be wholly ascribable to his desire to lay aside some of Lis business cares on account of his ad- vancing age. Mr. Burns was associated-in the mahage- Irent of the Baltimore and Ohio with the late John W. Garrett, and his service as a directcr covers a period of more than forty years, while for many years past he has been regarded as one of the best financiers in the city of Baltimore. Norfolk and Western. The many holders of Norfolk and West- ern railroad stock ard bonds will be inter- ested to learn that a bill was introduced into the Virginia legislature a day or two since, providing for the reorganization of that company, whose affairs are now in the bands of receivers appointed by the United States ccurt for the district of Virginia. This movement is understoed to be the work of the friends of the present adminis- tration of the road. A committee of prominent financiers was appointed in London shortly after the road went into the hands of receivers to protect the interests of the bondholders. One was also named in New York to act in concert with the London committee. It is believed that the plan of reorganization meets with the approval of these committees. The bill just introduced provides that the purchaser or purchasers of the mot property of the company shall be consti- tuted a body politic and corporate by any rame they may select. They are permitted to possess and be invested with all the es. tate, right and title possessed by the Nor- folk and Western. It is provided in the bill that the new corporation shall not be lim- ited as to the amount or classification of its stock or bonds, except that the total amount issued at the time of its organization shall not exceed $100,000,000, and shall have no immunity from any lawful state, county or municipal taxation by reason of its former charter or law heretofore exempting it from taxation. The bill further provides that purchasers may associate with them any number of persons in the new organizations. The new corporation is permitted to acquire by pur- chase, lease or otherwise ownership or con- trol ef and operate any or all of the lines MUNYON. The Talk of th City.
