WITH DOORS CLOSED The D. A. B. Deliberate Without the Reporters. FAIR SENTINELS AT THE ENTRANCE Differences of Opinion as to Ex-, cluding the Press. THE PROCEEDINGS TODAY The continental congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution was continued this morning at the Church of Our Father. Outside the wind blew in blasts, but in- side the feeling was almost as gusty and uncertain as the efforts of old Boreas him- self. That all was not peace and harmony in the society goes without saying. The con- gresses of past years have not been devoid of sensational incidents. While the Dauxh- ters are one In their patriotism, they are divided on almost every other subject that comes before them. The congress opered yesterlay morning under the most detight- i S$ not long before the the lute started a discord. he first question on which the ladies spit was the proposition iv hold the busines: mectings of the werk. bebind closed doors. It was brousht up oa a resolution to adopt the prograin as submitted, excluding, how- ever, the word “exccctive? as applied to the sessions tuis morning and tomorrow. The resolution. was supported by Mrs. Dov- ald MeLear of New York, and on 2 vote | was adopt by an overwhelming majo} the delepstes protesting against the s: + they were going to do any : ted to having made public. Reconsidered. Tater In the afternoon, during the ab- s ace of Mrs. McLean, some of the ladies vho are sensitive as to what the papers about them went to the president geaeral and argued with her, h the re- a1t that the matter brought up as rew bu 33, and a motion to exchide the porters this morning was carried. 1t was ed that the Danghters of the Am: mitted, even ates to the de jean Revolution should he though they were not dele congress, but the you! it is to report the pr derstand that they w: merning it was ev’ proportion of the delexates were not pathy with this action of che congress, 1 threats were freely made that if there vas any attempt to hold the session to- morning behind closed doors it recipitate one of the liveliest fights ver known prominent delegates to onversatim with a Star ing, characterized the men whese duty edings were given pre not wanted. nt that a large in th reporter this mo ce as an ov ‘It is a tacit that the corgre:3 is gong to do at are eskarel to have the public know about.

The mo: was given up to the reading of reports from the different com- mitiee rowth and condition of the ty during the past year. The reports were naturally of no particular in- tere ept to the delegates. Tomorrow morning, however, the annual election of oilicers be held, and this is expected to bring about the liveliest nes of thi congress. A number of the ladies said this morning that if there was any motion to holi the election in secret would op- pose it hammer and tonss, and they gave the impr: nm that some fur would he ma‘le to fly before they got through. Trouble Over the Concert. The concert last evening, arranged by the national hymn committee of 1! appears to have given rise to a good deal of feel- ing on the part of some, if not all of the New York delegation. The concert included the songs and hymns accepted for com- petition by the D. A. R. committees since the congress of 184. The New York ladies, at a considerable expense, brought on 9 professional singer of high standing, Mr. Archie Crawford, to sing “The Song of Freedom,” which is known es the Buf- falo song. Today the ladies are claiming that he was “frozen out'’ by the committee, who favored a Connecticut hymn which they wanted adopted, and that he was only aliowed to sing a couple of verses. The New York delegates cons.der it as a person- al affront, and they were in anything but a good humor about it this morning. Extending the Organization. The session of the contirental congress yesterday afterrcen was devoted to the presentation ef reports by the national officers. Mrs. Charles Sweet Johnson, vice president in charge of the organization, de- tailed the work done during the last year, looking to the enlargement of the scope of the society, and to a growth in the number of ckeptcrs and members. She sald: “When one year ago the congress did me the honor of electing me to the high office of vice president general in charge of or- ganization there were in existence 141 or- ganized chepters, now there are 228, an in- ¢reass of 8¢ during the year. During the same period 7 state regents and 132 chap- ter regents have been appointed and con- firmed, making a present total of 47 state regents and 371 chapter regents. Of the state regents appointed’ four (Connecticut, Louisiana, MaessachifSsetts and West Vir- ginia) were to fill vacancies, and three (In- dian territory, North Dakota and Utah) were original appointments. It was my hope, and it has been my earnest endeavor, to perfect organizaticns in the four re- maining states and territories (Alaska, Arizona, Idaho and Nevada), in which no organization Fas heretofore existed, but in this I have not succeeded, owing to my inability to find suitable persons who were willing to undertake the work. I am, how- ever, uble tu report the very gratifying fact that we now have chapter regenis in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and in Geneva, Switz- erland, and but for the non-receipt of a let- ter and consequent delay I would have been able to report one in Hawaii also. I am advised that there is already a society of the ‘Sons’ in Honolulu, and the pros- pect for the establishment of a chapter of the ‘Daughters’ there in the near future tg encourasing.”” Mrs. Reberdeau Bucharan, recording sec- retery general, said that the society had grown over 5 per cent ir membersh'n dur- ing tke past year, due to the untiring ef- forts of the individual memters. in cios- ing Mrs Buchanan gave a list of the ban- ner states and chapters. Connecticut leads in both, having thirty chapters with a membership of 1,649, ard has the largest chapter in Ruth \yllys Chapter of Hart- ford, numbering 152 members. The report of Mrs. William E.

Present indications are that the reception will be very largely attended, and that there will be a notable assembly of revolu- tionary descendants. Convention Notes. Very few peaple know that Princess Eula- lie is a full-fledged member of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution. She was first made an honorary member, but after receiving the papers thus qualifying her, it was claimed that she was perfectly el.gible to full membership through her an- cestor, Carlos III of Spain, who rendered the United Colonies material help by send- ing to the aid of the American patriots m dues and ; 5.

The priac: was ss lily made a regular member, and signia of the office, end for some time evinced a great deal of in- terest in the work of the order. Lee, w.fe of the late admiral, and of the Mary Washington Cha of this e.ty, says that Mrs. Dolly Madison told her that’ she d.d not ta y the copy of the Declaration of Independence, but that she ordered it to be done, and saw that it was done.

One of the fundamental objects of the Daughters of the American Revolution is the bringing to 1 ght and preserving of rev- olutionary ‘reiics’ and history. Some re- markable bts of history have been un- earthed since the society has gone into the h.storical business. Each chapter, at its regular monthly meeting, has a paper pre- pared on a historical subject, and every mother’s daughter of them is anxious to serve up something “fresh” from docu- ments belonging to the famil ‘The seal of the Daughters is a very neat affair, a prim, precise, Priscilla sort of a ma.den in white 'kerchief and apron sitting at the flax wheel, with thirteen stars en- circling her head, and the words “Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, 1776— Home and Country—iso0” about the’ outside edge. Mrs. Randolph deB. Keim says that -vhen’ she visited the grave of Lafayette in Paris last September, she was told by the care- taker of the small cemetery that she was the sixth American that had ever been ad-" mitted within the cemetery walls. La- fayette ‘s buried in a private plot of groand in the garden of a convent, and in the lot next adjoining, which is an inclosed field, stands a stone marking the spot where, during the French revolution of 1739, nearly two thousand guiilotined victims of Robes- p.erre were thrown indiscriminately into a Pit. M:ss Janet Hosmer Richards wants Con- gress to recognize and designate by special enactment “The Star Spangled Banner” as the national hymn. Mrs. Phoebe Deake Cleveland of Spring- field, IIL, is the daughter of a revolutionary soldier, who served five years in the revolu- tlonary war. She is eighty-five years old, but quite hale for her years. She is much delighted with the souvenir spoon which was bestowed upon her by the national scciety. DESCENDED FROM LAFAYETTE. Mme. de Chambrun to Be an Honored Guest of the D. A. R. The Ger. de Lafayette Chapter, D. A. R., of Lefayette, Ind. is among the largest chapters in the orgenization, and has for its regent Mrs. Georgia Stockton Hatcher. It also has ameng its inembers an “‘orig- inal” daughter, Mrs, Eliza Andrew Brown, whose father was in ‘the’ revolutionary struggle. An interesting incident of this chapter is told by Mrs, Hatcher, who has the correspordence as a sduvenir of the occurrence. Stee Mme. de Corcelle of ‘Pari8, France, the granddaughter of Gen. fe Lafayette, was, in July of 1894, yet livifig, and the Lafay- ette chapter voted unantmously to request her to become an honorary member of their charter. Mrs. Hatcher wrote to the Marquise de Chambrun, daughter of Mme. de Corcelle, whom she had met, and made her the agent in the transaction of the business, Mme. de Corcelle being quite aged and too feeble to carry on the cor- respondence herself, In due time bick came a reply, dated at Paris, December 28, 1894, saying: ““My poor, dear mother Is eighty-five years of age, which explains why her signature is .writ- ten in sich a trembling hand. She is, as you know, the daughter of Virginie de Lasteyrie, second daughter of Gen. de Lafayette, and therefore his own grand- daughter. It gave her great pleasure and satisfaction to sign these papers, which connect her so closely with the memories of the war for irdeperdence, and recall the glory of her grandfather, whom she loved so well. I thank you for having chosen me to carry out ycur wishes and beg you to accept the expression of my best and kindest sentirents.” This letter was signed by the daughter of Mme. de Corcelle, but the papers were signed by ths lady herself, in a trembfing, spidery French hend. On receipt of the letter, Lafayette Chapter decided at a meeting in June last to purchase for Mme. de Corcelle an official badge of the national soctety of the D. A. K., and to forward it to her, together with a certificate of hon- orary membership. The ch:pter requested the Secretary of State of the United States to transmit these articles to-Lafayette's granddaughter through diplomatic channels, and that of- ficial courteously “consented, and offered to have the American envoy to France person- ally deliver the mementos, on behalf of La- fayette Chapter. The certificate and insignia were sent at once, and early in Januery there came a letter from the United States embassy, Paris, wrich brought sorrow to all the daughters of the chapter. The aged mad- ame was dead. It informed the depart- ment that Madame de Corcelle died in the month of August last. Mr. Eustis, the ambassador, therefore returned the cer- tiflcate and the insignia intended for her. The chapter received the certificate and ba@ge with much regret, from the Secre- tary of State, and after -deliberation, de- cided to present them to the sister of Mme. de Corcclle, Madame de Perron, also of Paris. But another chapter has been added to the incident since Mrs. Hatcher came to Washington, bringing the pin with her. A few days ago she learned that Mme. de Chambrun was in the city, the guest of friends, and, in company with Miss Desha, called upon her. Mrs. Hatcher asked her if she would accept the honors the chapter meant to bestow upon her mother. Mme. de Chambrun expressed herself as de- lighted to accept the preffered decoration and membership, end so Mrs. Hatcher pin- ndd the insignia upon the breast of Gen. Lafayette’s great-granddaughter. FOR THE INDIANA. A Loving Cup to Be Presented to the Battle Ship. Lafayette Chapter of Lafayette, Ind., Is represented in the congress of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution by its regent, Mrs. Georgia Stockton Hatcher, and several delegates, who have a very pleasant mission to perform. The chapter has had made from special designs a mag- nificent “loving Cup” for the battle ship Indiana, and it is to be presented during ming week. The delegation prought the cup to Washington with them, and it is now on exhibition at the Church of Our Father, where the congress is in session. The cup fs twelve inches high and seven inches in diameter, made of solid silver from a design furnished by the chapter. The handles, three in number, and the base are beautifully embossed. An engraving of the batile ship adorns the front of the cup, and beneath the ship tion, “Presenied to the U. and on the base th s “By General de Lafayette Chapter, 1 ters of the American Revolution, 1 ette, Ind.” ‘urrounding the be of the cup are ropes of silver and shells, the entire cup ce being nly embos: The cup is tiful 1 ation In design and workmanship.
