A special meeting of the city council was helG last night in order that some action may be taken before the legislature ad- Journs on the thirty-third section of the city charter. The object of the meeting was to have the council enact some meas- ure which will cover the much-talked-of street improvement. A bill was prepared by City Sergeant Brent, which was read in both beards, and referred to the committee on general laws, with the authority to employ such counsel as they deem neces- sary to assist in preparation of a suitable Dill, The commitice will meet next Mon- day night and cortsider the bill and report their decision to a meeting of the city council Tuesday. Raised a Disturbance. A white woman named Julia Flynn creat- ed considerable attention on King street yesterday morning by assaulting Officer Ferguson while he was attempting to arrest her for drunkenness and disorderly cenduct. She was finally put in a wagon and taken to the station house. The wo- man is the same one that danced a skirt dance in the street and was sent to the workhouse unde~ the vagrant law. She was afterward released on promise of better behavior. Mrs. Johanna Lyles, widow of Enoch Lyles and mother of Mr. Richard Lyles, died at her home on South Fairfax street yesterday morning. Mrs. Lyles had a wide circle of friends, who sincerely regret her death. ‘The machine shops of the Southern rail- way in this city are now working on extra time on account of the large quantity of work to be done. These shops employ a large number of men, who hope the exura hours will continue as long as possible. United States Deputy S. L. Monroe has secured evidence against several merchants here for selling butterine and other com- pounds for dairy butter, and they will be prosecuted under the new revenue laws. The Young People’s Union of the Second Presbyterian Church held a very pleasant meeting in the lecture room of the church last night, which was well attended. Dur- ing the evening an interesting program of music, etc., was given, which was much enjoyed by all present. Mr. and Mrs. Maury Gaines have return- ed from West Virginia. Miss Mattie Pettitt of Baltimore is visit- ing her aunt, Mrs. James Pettitt, on North St. Asaph street.

The entertainment to ‘be given by the Mary Custis Division, Daughters of the Corfederacy, promises to be a decided suc- cess. In addition to the address to be de- livered- by Gen.

The Former Advocates Recognition of the Insurgents and the Lat- ter Predicts War. The Cuban question came before the Sen- ate yesterday afternoon for definite and final action, and it is expected that votes will be taken at an early day on the sev- eral pending propositions requesting Spain to recognize the belligerency of Cuba, and requesting a recognition of Cuban inde- endence. There is every indication, also, that the debate will lead to more radical and decisive resolutions. The opening of the debate drew large crowds to the galleries, and there were fre- quent demonstrations of approval at the stirrmg and dramatic utterances of sev eral of the speakers. Mr. Lodge of Massi ckusetts and Mr. Morgan of Alabama we: particularly forcible and direct in_ the language, Mr. Morgan expressing the be- Nef that war between the United States and Spain would result from recogniz- ing the Cubans as belligerents. In graphi- cally @cturing the rise and spread of the rebellion, Mr. Lodge said: Mr. Lodge’s Forcible Langurge. “Just a year ago another revolution I gan. It began in the eastern part of the island, with a small band of 500 men. With the vast wilderness of the lying builetins that come from Spanish sources, it is difficult, and it is not worth while, » hays, to try to trace the battles which have been fought. But there are certain great facts which there is no mistakin ‘Those men who started so feebly a y ago in the eastern part of the island hay crept cver that island from one end to the other.

The joint commission is compos@d of the officers and executi mittees of the seven scientific societ Washington, i. e., the Anthropol Biological, Chemical, Entomological, logical, National Geographic and Philo- sophical societies, representing a total membership of nearly 2,000. At the meet- ing of the commission last evening Dr. Charles Dabney, assistant secretary of ag- riculture, gave a resume of the anti-vi section bill, and proposed resolutions,which were seconded by Dr. C. Hart Merriam, the mammalogist, and unanimously adopted. The resolutions declared “That the joint commission of the scientific so- cieties of Washington, composed of officers of the several scientific 5 of the city, most earnestly oppos: lation proposed by Senaie bill 1552, entitled ‘A bill for the further prevention of crue’ to animals in the District of Columbi that in the opinion of this commission th proposed legislation is unnecessary, would seriously interfere with the adva’ ment of biological science in this Distric that it would be especially harmful in i restriction of experiments relating to the cause, prevention and cure of the infee- tious diseases of man and of the lower ani- mals; that the researches made in this de- partment of biological science have been of immense benefit to the human race; and that, in general, our knowledge of phys- fology, of toxicology and of pathology, forming the basis of scientific medicine, has been largely obtained by experiments upon living animals, and could have been obtained in no other way; that physicians and others who are engaged in research work having tor its object the extension of human knowledge and the prevention and cure of disease are the best judges of the character of the experiments required and of the necessity for using anacsthetics, and that in our judgment they may be trusted to conduct such experiments in a humane manner, and to give anaesthetics when re- quired to prevent pain. To subject them to penalties and to espionage, as is proposed by the bill under consideration, wouid, we think, be an unjust and unmerited reflec- ticn upon a class of men who ure entitled to our highest consideration.” It was decided to send a copy of these resolutions to each member of th® com- mittees on the District of Columbia in the House of Representatives and Senate of th United States and to the District Commis- sioners. and —_——__ The Late Edward Seton Harris.
