The Citizens’ Association Discusses the Situation Thoroughly. The Anacostia Citizens’ Association _met at Haines’ Hall last night, the president of the association, Dr. Geo. C. Hooeman, oc- cupying the chair. Mr. A. E. Randle, pres- ident of the Capital Railway Company, was present by invitation. The committee on the revision of the con- stitution and by-laws announced that it re- quired a little more time in which to make its report, and was given until the next meeting. Mr. Buckley, chairman of the committee to transmit resolutions to con- gressional committees and the Commis- sioners of the District of Columbia, re- ported that all resolutions in charge of his committee had been transmitted. Mr. Randle was requested by the chair to make a statement relating to his road. He stated that the charter granted last winter to company was by way of transfer ferry at the foot of South Capitol street, but that Maj. Davis of the War De- partment made an adverse report on the bridge, which killed that matter for the present, and for that reason his company asked for a change of route, so as to cross the Navy Yard bridge and extend along llth street to Lincoln Park and along Vir- ginia avenue to the cable line. Mr. Randl> stated further that they had told the Dis- trict Cemmissioners and Congress what they wanted, and that their amended Dill is now before Congress, with the approval of the District Commissioners. He also sald that it would not, in his opinion, pay the company to lay a third underground system to the center of the city, as the dis- tance from the Navy Yard bridge to the Capital Traction Company’s tracks would be five blocks and to the Metropolitan Company’s road nine blocks. Mr. Randle said that he ad a letter from Dr. W. W. Godding giving his hearty approval to the Capital Railway Company’s amendment. The chairman read the article in The Star relating to the demand of the Dis- trict Commissioners on the Anacostia and Potomac Railway Company to show cause why one-horse cars were run. The chair appointed a committee of five to canvass the town for the benefit of the Citizens’ As- sociation. This committee, as selected by the chair, consists of Messrs. Reardon, 1 t r. Merris and Gertner. Mr. Gertner referred to the Anaco: q upd me to erect trol- ley poles, ard the recent order of the Com- missioners to place two-horse cars and conductors on the road. He thought what Anacostia most needed was a new road. On moticn of Mr. Johnson the association indorsed the Commissioners’ order as to two-horse cars and ccnductors. In the gen- eral discussion which followed M : Johnsen. Eaton, Gertner, Kramer, Keating and others urged that the need of the hour for Anacostia was rapid transit, and the rest of the evening was given up to deration of this feature of the rail- question. It was voted to communi- with the Hillsdale and Congre: S associations, and seek their co- Ir. Randie stated that he de- sired to bring the East Washington Heights people through Anacostia, as he saw no other feasible plan for them to get’ into the District. The association adjourned to meet next Monday night. mn —— DELEGATES FOR ST. LOUIS, a Republican Conventions Various Districts.

FOR FURTHER DEBATE The Senate Proposes to Discuss Its Cuban Resolutions Again. SENATORS WHOLOST-A CHANCE TOSPEAK | Mr. Chandler Thinks the Declara- tion Was Not Strong Enough. A SECOND THOUGHT Next Monday at 2 o'clock the Senate will take up for final consideration the Cuban resolutions, which are now passing through the somewhat slow process of official for- mulation. Yesterday afternoon, just before ‘The Star went to press, it was announced in the Senate that the conferees had agreed, the House resolutions standing as acceptable to the representatives of the Senate. Mr. Sherman asked for the im- mediate consideration of the matter, a con- ference report being always privileged, but subject to a single objection, which has the effect of postponing action for a day. The Senate had earlier agreed to adjourn from the end of the legislative day until Mon- day. Mr. Hale interposed an objection. He voted against the passage of the original Senate resolutions, and when Mr. Sherman urged that there be speedy action, he de- clared that the resolutions had been rushed through the Senate with too little time for debate, and inferentially criticised the com- miitee on foreign relations for having on Thursday of last week fixed upon 4 o'clock Friday as the time for taking the vote an@ then cver night changing the form of the resolutions, so that they came before the Senate in the nature of a surprise. He said that several Senators who desired to speak had been forced out of the debate by the lack of time, as the committee took most of the time for debate, and there was no opportunity for the an- tagonists of the resolutions to present their views. Mr. Sherman called attention to the very large majority by which each of the two houses had voted for the two sets of reso- lutions, which, he thought, were practical- ly alike. The Senate conferees, he said, had agreed that they might take the state- ment of facts embodied in the House pre- sentation. He was willing, however, to al- low the matter to go over if there was a ole pesltion and a desire to debate it fur- ther. Mr. Hawley said he was glad there was to be a further chance to debate the reso- lutions. He had voted for them originally, but he reserved the right to do us he might see fit in regard to the matter. Not Strong Enough. Mr. Chandler said if he had known this contingency were to arise he should have opposed the motion to adjourn over until Monday. He had no objection to further debate, He was sorry Mr. Hale had not spoken on the former occasion, but sup- posed that he refrained from talking on ac- count of a disposition to see the subject disposed of speedily, for the common In- terest not only of Cuba, but of the United States. “I myself refrained from speak- ing,” he said, “although I was not satis- fied with the resolutions. They were not strong enough, in my judgment. I am de- liberately in favor of action by the United States for the recognition and maintenance of the independence of Cuba. If 1 could have my way, and have such action by Congress and the President of the United States as to my mind is required by the interests of humanity and the enlightened interests of the United States, I would see this country recognize and mainiain, at the risk of war with Spain, the indepen- dence of the island of Cuba. France did that in our revolution, and it is an undying glory in the crown of honor of that nation that she helped us attain our independence. I think that when the independence of Cuba is achieved, as I hope and believe it be at no very distant day, we shall ach that island to us-by undying grati- e, growing out of the fact that we did fare and maintain at the risk of war with Spain or any other nation the inde- pendence of the island.” Mr. Call complained about the adjourn- ment over until Monday, and declared that in his opinion the resolutions were not strong enough. Plea for Connecticut's Seaconst. Mr. Hawley obtained the floor once more, and said: “I sympathize in general and very warmly with the popular view of this whole ques- tion. I tnink that the conduct of the war against the insurgents is abhorrent to the common sense of humanity of the world. I think that the government of Spain over Cuba, In which we cannot help being inter- ested, has been such as to provoke and de- serve the very severest criticism. “But there are some other considerations that make me stop and think occasionally before voting upon this and similar matters. We are giving offense to a power that is not the most considerable perhaps, but we have been giving offense—and some of it offease that we might rightly have given; I do not take it back—to many countries of Europe until we have invoived ourselves in an un- friendly criticism. I do not wish to. proph- €sy: prophets are without honor in their own country; but it is within the limits of ibility that we shali find ourselves in- ved in a war not with one nation, but with more than one. That is very possible. I do not dwell upon it any longer. I have ro sympathy with the people who when war is spoken of say it will never come. It comes When you do not expect it. I have no re- spect for the judgment of those men who, when the defense of the country is spoken of, talk about the enormous physical power of this nation and the five or ten millions of freemen soldiers who are ready to come to its defense. Food for Bullets. “What can they do without coast defenses? Will an army march down to the sandy beach of New Jersey and offer themselves as food for the enemy’s cannon? They would he worth nothing else, and they would not stop a bullet as well as a mule. I take it for granted that those gentlemen who are so ready to talk loudly and vigorously and eloquently, and in many respects justly, and give offense so readily, will vote for the most liberal appropriations for coast de- fenses and for a very large increase of the navy and a reasonable increase of the army. I suppose they will. If not, I hope they will rever have occasion to regret it. But they may have serious occasion to regret both their speeches and their refusal to so vote.” tee sae, CLARA BARTON'S TRIP. She Writes of Her Kind Treatment by the Porte, A letter just received by a member of the American National Red Cross from Miss Clara Barton, dated Para, Constantinople, February 19, tells of the journey of the Red Cros3 party which sailed from New York en Janusry 22, and also contains the fol- lowing: “The cablegram sent by Minister Terrell yesterday afternoon to Secretary Olney, and which I trust was made -public, was the outcome of a call in the morning upon the sublime porte in the person of its min- ister of foreign affairs, which was in every way as agreeable, cordial an’ satisfactory as it could have been made in any country.

MORE GAS QUESTIONS A Jail Official Alleged teedlave Shielded a Suspected Tiof. A Freight Car Brokth' Upen and Rob- bed—General and Peronal News From Down the"River. Yesterday afternoon ‘Sergeant Smith” and Officer Ferguson weré’ 106king for Wm. Taylor, whom they suspected of teing im- plicated in the robbery! of'@ Southern rall- way car Wednesday night: They were told that Taylor had gone to ‘the city jail to see a couple of men who are confined there charged with attempting’to rob the freight house of the Washington Southern rail- way. They proceeded to the jail, and ask- ed Turnkey Timothy Hayes if Taylor had been there, and receiving a negative reply, they told the turnkey if he did come to lock him up and notify them at police station. The officers then left and proceeded im- mediately to police headquarters. They had hardly reached there when in came Officer ‘Ticer with Taylor, whom he had arrested just as Taylor was coming out of the jail. Taylor told Officer Ferguson that he knew he had been to jail after him, as Timothy Hayes had told him that they were look- ing for him, and that he had better get out of the way before he was arrested. The matter has been reported to Judge Norton. Robbery of a Freight Car. Mr. James S. Douglas, agent of the Southern Railway Company, reported to Lieut. Smith yesterday that a car had been broken open in the yard ef the company Wednesday night and fifty-two pairs of ladies’ shoes stolen. Lieut. Smith and Offi- cers Atkinson and Hall, with a search war- rant, went to Hugh Strider’s second-hand store and there recovered fifteen pairs of the shoes. Mr. Strider claimed that he found a bag containing the shoes on his back porch early yesterday morning. He was placed under arrest, and taken to the station house, where he gave bond in the sum of $250 for his appearance when want- ed. Late yesterday evening the officers locked up Wm., alias “Buck,” Taylor and Ernest Travers, on sispicion of being the thieves. Police Court Proceedings. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Samuel Tennyson, drunk in the street, was fined $1. The c#ses of William, allas “Buck” Taylor, William Gillmartin and Ernest Travers, charged with entering and robbing a car of the Southern Railway Company, were continued for further examination. John Ashton and Jchn Washington, arrested by Officers Bettis and Howson, charged with drunkenness and fighting, were fined $8 each. Kate Carter, colored, for being drunk and disorderly, was fined $3 or thirty days. W. J. Brown, for being drunk in the street, was fined $1 or ten days.

AIN MAY CRUMBLE. Rochefort Predicts Loss of Caba and Fall of the Monarchy. No living Frenchman has suffered more for the cause of liberty than Henri Roche- fort, says a cable special from Paris to the New York World. Few French writers ex- ercise so widespread an influence over the masses of their countrymen, He said yes- terday, concerning the Cuban questior: ‘ 7% do not think the people of the: United States would stand idly by and see, ,under s Weyler, a repetition of the former ten years’ | tragedy. If the recent resolutions in Con- gress really represent public opinion, Presi- dent Cleveland cannot postpone action in- definitely. “What could Spain do? “No doubt any in- tervention would be regarded by Spain as a Geclaration of war, but what could Spain do? She would lose Cuba immediately, for a few thousand American troops and an ironciad or two would seriously inconvenience her. “There could be no doubt about the out- come. Spain would be badly beaten in Cuba and out of it. The moment the United States decided to act the insurgent ranks would be swelled by thoysands of recruits, who have been waiting to join the winning side. “Then Spain has no money. The Cuban war has been costing her a million pesetas ($250,000) a day. I doubt whether she would even fight. The Spaniards are brave and tenacious, but nowadays nations cannot fight without money. “Would France help her?” the correspond- ent asked. “The whot2 body of intelligent opinion in France is with the insurgents. The gallant fight made by the Cubans endears them to all lovers of freedom. Everything in France that now counts for anything is on their ide. Frenchmen in general are delighted to the American C act as it is doing. hey only wonder it has not done so earlier. “One thing seems ceriain. The loss of Cuba and the expehses of the war will bring about a revolution in Spain. Th dynasty has been tottering for some time. An un- successful struggle against the United State would certainly result in the overthrow of the Spanish monarchy. It would be splendid if Cuba were to destroy the Spanish throne at the very time Abyssinia bids fair to spoil the appearance of the House of Savoy. Vive Ja republique!"’ “But,” queried the correspondent, “is there any organized republican party in Spain? Is there no danger that Spain may attempt to purchase French support by ceding the Canary Islands, or by making some other coneession?"’ “There is no.danter of France selling her support to Spain,” answered Mr. Rochefort. ‘fiven if the government should attempt anything of the kind, the country would not stand it. So long as the Rourgeois ministry lasts there will be no attempt to join hands with Spain. Yes, there ia an organized re- publican party in Spain; strong enough to form a government if ocnaston should offer. “But if you wish to ‘kndw my innermost thought, here it is: Sfiaiiimwill lose Cuba, but she will not fight 1 United States.

From the New York Tribuge..-5} LONDON, March 5.+-Ther reported con- solidation of the Panama:mnd Nicaragua canal companies has been prematurely an- nounced in Paris, where searets are not well kept. The managers ofthe Nicaragua Com- pany, who have been in’ Europe for several months attempting to ‘thise the money re- quired for the resumption of work, have been considering a bold stroke for the re- moval of their French rival, but nothing has been done beyond the exchange of views with intermediaries acting in the interest of the Panama Company. It is probable that an offer has been made for the purchase of the assets of the French company, including the Panama railroad, but nothing has been settled, and no definite proposition has been submitted by either board of directors. The motive of this transactien, if it be carried out, will be the concentration of effort upon the completion of the more practical project under American management. The French property will be purchased, if at all, in Nic- aragua bonds, and, with the consolidation of the two rival interests, it will be easier to obtain the capital required for the Central American waterway. The news has leaked out in Paris, greatly to the annoyance of those who have been in secret conference for two months. Informal the Some of the Things Told to the Senate District Committes. AGAINST A NEW COMPANY Mr. Leetch Presents Arguments to Prevent Another Charter. IF THE PRICE IS REDUCED The gas hearing before the Senate Dis- trict committee was not concluded yester- day afternoon, but after lasting upward of three hours was adjourned until 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The testimony of Major Hastings, speaking for the pro- posed new company, was finished soon af- ter The Star's report closed. Mr. Sands was about to introduce anether expert, Mr. Charles B. Hauck, when Mr. Leetch, su- perintendent of the Washington Gas Light Company, arose and protested that the as- Pirants for a new charter should not be allowel to consume all the time. The two gentlemen faced each other rather angrily across the table, and Mr. Sands in an in- aignant manner declared that his com- Pany had not had a fair chance at being heard by the Senate committee. Senator Harris interfered with the decisign that the committee proposed to hear all that there was to say, and he ruled that the best way to proceed was to ailow those who occupied the floor to exhaust their arguments. Mr. Leetch submitted with good grace, and Mr. Hauck made a brief statement explanatory of the methods of the new company and the advantages of making gas from bituminous coal, which is employed by the Rose-Hastings system. The Question of Capital. Senator Martin wanted to know {f all the money necessary for the establishment of the plant was subscribed, and Mr. Hauck answered that the bill provides that at least 40 per cent of the capital stock shall be taken bythe people of Washing- ton, and the remaining 6) per cent is now subscrijed. He asserted that all the money necessary for the satisfactory completion of the project would be forthcoming if the bill were passed. The matter of possible consolidation with the old company was brought up by Mr. Gallinger and this elicited an indignant de- nial by Mr. Sands, wio said that such sug- gestions had been made to poison the minds of the committee against his com- pany. It was agreed informally that if passed the should be so amended as to re- quire that a certain number of mains shculd be laid within a certain period. Mr. Harris wanted to elicit some definite infor- mation about the finances of the company, tut could get no more than a general state- ment from Mr. Sands io the effect that all the necessary funds would be forthcoming. Mr. Lectch’s Opposition, Mr. Leetch occupied all of the remainder of the time. He read a prepared statement in opposition to all propositions to charter new concerns or to reduce the price of gas. He urged that the Rose-Hastings plants were not successful, and that the gas they furnished cost more than had been claimed. He produced a letter from the president of the gas company at West Chester,Pa.,where there ts a Rose-Hastings plant, saying that the system was no good, and was endured only because it chanced to be in position. Statistics were presented showing that the cost for production, distribution, ete., of gas for the last year was $718,537, or about 80 cents per 1,000 feet. In addition to this, $72,000 were expended for interest on bond- ed indebtedness, and $200,000 for dividends to stockholders, making the total cost $990,- 573, or about $1.10 per 1,000 fect. This was about the average for each year. The re- duction in the price of the gas would result in great loss to the company, because the latter is compelled to lay mains along new streets wherever they are opened, without regard to possible return from service. Mr. Leetch urged that the high price of coal here was an important factor in the local price of gas. Mr. Gallinger suggested that the price of gas in Boston, which is further from the coal fields than Washing- ton, is only $1 a thousand. Mr. Leetch replied that this was because the Boston people get their coal by water, and so re- | duce the cost of transportation. Mr. Gal- linger wanted to know why the Washing- ton people do not get their coal by water, but received no reply. Effect of Reducing the Price. Mr. Leetch asserted that to reduce the Price of gas would be to reduce the divi- dends, He admitted that gas could be fur- ished by the present company cheaper than at present, but not at such a good profit. “Mr. Faulkner declared that in his opinion the company should not be forced into bankruptcy, ard this brought forth a state- ment by Mr. Harris that he thought it worth while to ascertain the cost of the.| plant. “I want to squeeze out the water,” he said. The hearing was shortly after- ward adjourned untii next Tuesday. —_—. SPAIN AND THE CONFEDERACY. Her Prompt Reeognition of Belliger- ency in the Days of ’61. From the Philadelphia Press, The following is a translation of the Span decree of June 17, 1861, by which the Queen of Spain recognized the belliger- ency of the confederates, declaring neutral- ity between the parties to the contest. It is interesting to observe that this decree was issued but about two months after Fort Sumter was fired upon. The Spanish decree is as follow: “Considering the relations which exist between Spain and the United States of America, and the expediency of not chang- ing the reciprocal relations of friendly un- derstanding on account of the grave events which. have happened in that republic, I have resolved to maintain the strictest neu- trality in the struggie engaged in between all the federal states of the Union and the confederate states of the south; and in or- der to avoid the losses which our subjects might suffer both in shipping and com- merce, both for want of definite rules to which their conduct might conform, in ac- cord with the views of my council of min- isters, I decree as follows: “Article I. It is forbidden in all the ports of the Spanish realm to arm, supply and equip any privateer vessel, whatever may be the flag she tarries. “Article II. It is in like manner forbidden to owners, masters or captains of merchant vessels to accept letters of marque, or to contribute in any way to the arming or equipping of vessels of war or privateers. “Article III. The entering and remaining for more than twenty-four hours in the ports of the realm is forbidden to vessels of war or privateers with prizes, unless in cases of necessity through stress of weath- er. When this latter happens the authori- ties will watch the vessel, and oblige her to go to sea as soon as possible without per- mitting her to take any more supplies than for present necessity, but on no account either arms or munitions of war. ‘Article IV. Effects taken from the prizes shall not be sold in the ports of the realm. “Transportation under the Spanish flag of all articles of commerce is granted, ex- cept when directed to blockaded ports. The carrying of war material, papers or communications for the belligerents is for- bidden. Trespassers shall be responsible for their acts, and shall have no right to the protection of my government. “Article VI. All Spaniards are forbidden to enlist in the belligerent army or to en- gage themselves to serve on board vessels of war or privateers. “Article VII. My subjects shouid refrain from every act which, by violating the laws of the kingdom, may be coasidered cou- trary to neutrality. if “Article VIII. Transgressors of the above violations shall have no rignt tosprotection of my government, shall suer the conse- quences of the rules which the belligerents may prescribe, and shall %e punished as provided by the laws of Spain. “Given at the palace on this 17th day of June, 1861. “(Signed by the royal hand) “SATURNINO CALDERON COLLANTES, “Minister of State.” Salvation Oil heals cuts and bruises, 25c.

I received ono of your pamphlets, wrote to you and gave you my symp- toms. You wrote me to look at the 29th page of your pamphlet. I would find my disease described there and the treatment. My husband went to the drug store and got ten dollars’ worth—six bottles each of the Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis- covery and the same of Dr. Plerce’s Favorite Pre- scription—and they cured me. I spit up ‘ood for three years before I took your medicine and I have not been bothered with that distressing disease since. My welght was 110 pounds before I took your medicine; since taking it I have weighed as high as 147 pounds.”* CONSUMPTION CURED. Mr. Geo. W. Hulsizer, a well-known railroad conductor of Milton, Northumberland county, Pa., writes: “I had my thind doctor and ke doctored at me for some time and finally said: “There Is no use running up a bill.’ I asked him what ailed me. He said, ‘Why, ft 1s consumption.” This gave me great alarm, and I was about to give up in despair, but thanks to kind Providence, my little boy came in one day from the front yard with one of Dr. Pierce's Memorandum and Accouut Books. I read the pages, and then told my wife that I believed if we could get that ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ it would help me. My wife called at the drug store in a few days and got six bottles for first few doses I took I got alarmed, numb feeling, but kept on taking th directed. In a short time I was around. ut Dr. Pierce knew said: ‘Take the Go will cure you,’ and it did, the fourth bottle I was able to my train.” for I felt a medicine as I cannot to this day tell what afied me, for in his letter to me he GAINED % POUNDS. 2 I.

Among the principal drawbacks to the breeding and owning of horses of all classes is the af- fection known as “roaring.” The heavier breeds are provably more commonly its subject, but when the otherwise valuable race horse is its victim its effects are ac- centuated and the sphere of interest en- larged. The noise emitted during forced exertion by the “roarer” depends “mainly on ol struction to current of inspired air through the larynx. The sound is various- ly attributed to depression of the trytenoid and to relaxation of the voral cord or the loose aryteno-epiglottidean folds, but there is general agreement that the paralysis of the muscles of the larynx on which the ob- struction depends eorrespends to the dis- tribution of the recurrent nerve (most fre- quently of the left side.) Opinion is by no means unanimous as to the means by which the function of the nerve is dis- turbed, but there is little question as to the heredity of the affection, and none as to its serious effect on the subject. It is enough to call to mind the case of the celebrated Ormonde and his stock. Benefiting by very common experience in tracheotomy as a temporary measure for relief in acute laryngeal af nary surgeons have now adopted tracheot- omy tubes as permanent arrangements for free admission of air to the lungs of “roar- ers.” This is by no ns a rare proced- ure, and many carriage horses may be daily seen in London and elsewhere wear- ing these tubes and workin, convenience.

THE CITY. How Honey Producers Can Be Kept by Urban Resi From the X York Ti Did you ever thirk of keeping bees right here in the city? They can be kept, and will not require a license, either, as the possession of a dog does. If you live near one of the parks the matter will be sim- plifieé, for you will not be obliged to feed your bees; they can forage for themselves. Hives can be placed in a city back yard, or even on top of the house, though the latter lccation would be too cold and windy for them to be left through the winter. The spring is the time to begin with the hives and their busy swarms, and it is not too soon now to be looking up the subject if you think of making the attempt. You should get a book on bee culture and study about these interesting in You must learn to distinguish the work- ers, the queens, and the drones apart, so that when you have a hive you will know how to clip the queen's wings. This kcep her always near the hive, and the rest of the colony loyally stays where its queen is. You may learn much from the book, and in any perplexity it will help you, but your best teaacher will be experience. You Will soon learn “that bees are intelligent, that they know their frien¢ are easily anzered.

From the Philadelphia Catl- Marriage Clerk Bird of the orphans’ court was surprised last week when a handsomely. attired young lady entered his cffice and said she wanted a marriage li- cense. It is not unusual for a license to be purchased,. but in almost every instance heretofore the necessary document has been applied for by the prospective groom. The applicant, noticing Mr. Bird's look of surprise, said: “It. may seem singular for me to come for the license, but it hap- pened this way. You know, it's leap year, and I proposed, and thoroughly to carry out the idea, I said I would procure the license as well as the groom.”
