The actions of the mob element in Val- encia, Spain, yesterday, became so threat- ening that martial law was proclaimed in that city last nig at. A crowd numbering fully ten thousand persons met outside the bull ring and at- tempted to enter that place for the purpose of holding a meeting to express antl-Amer- ican sentiments. The authorities had issued an order for- bidding the holding of such meetings, but no attention was paid to it. The gen- darmes at the bull pen refused to allow the mob to enter, and were told that they were traitors to Spain. Then several persons in the crowd cried, “Long live the republic, whereupon the gendarmes charged the mob. The crowd answered with several revol- ver shots, and one of the gendarmes was seriously wounded in the chest. The situ- ation had assimed such a menacing aspect that orders ‘vere given to the gendarmes to fir upon the mob, A volley was fired from the carbines car- ried iy the gendarmes and the crowd scur- ried fcr shelter.

Pere Marquette. To the Editor ef The Evening Star: A few words abont Marquette and his dis- coverics, drawn principally from Catholic sources, may not be uninweresting at the present moment. Jacques Marquette was born in Laon, France, in 1637. At the age of seventeen he entered the Soclety of Jesus, and fourteen years later was or- dained priest, and set out at once for Que- bec. After three years spent at Three rivers studying the Algonquin and Huron languages he went with a party of Nex Perces to Lake Superlor in 1658. When Joliet was commissioned by Frentenac; at the command of M. Talon, minister of Leuis XIV, 10 “send a discoverer to find the South sex,” Pere Marquette, who had then given years of untiring devotion to th: Starving and defeated Hurons, went w him. With five men he and Joliet made voyage in two canoes of 2,349 miles, includ- ing their return to Green bay, most of it over the great waters of the’ Mississippi. Joliet’s boat was overturned and his papers lost, so that the recbrds of the venerable priest and devoted missionary alone remain to tell of that most perilous voyage. Worn out with his pious and unceasing labors as a missionary to the Indians and by the hardships of this “hazardous: but not fool- hardy expedition,” as he himself called it, he died, says Parkman, near the Sleeping Bear river in 1673, a hundred years before the Declaration of Independence. In 1781 George Kogers Clark attacked Detroit ani was repulsed. The cession of Illinois and tke northwest by Virginia was not made until 1784, consequently the United States did not control in 1673 ‘either the state of Wisconsin or the Mississippi river. The disoveries of Marquette benefited the French king, Louis XIV, not ‘our republic. He was in no sense of the word “‘a citizen of Wisconsin, illustrious for distinguished etvie or military services,” as the law calls or. The question is not one of faith or at- tire, but of fact. Why should not such sfatués adorn the new library? There venerated and learned nen like Marquette and ENot, apostle of tke Indians, end Penn, and great explorers like Clark and Kane, great inventors like Morse and Edison, might and should be fitly commemorated.

DOCTORS DISAGREE Hearing on the Proposed Homeo- pathic College. BEFORE THE COMMISSIONERS Replying to the Report of Health Officer Woodward. OTHER DISTRICT AFFAIRS SS ‘The postponed hearing on the bill to grant a charter to the Washington Ho- meopathic Medical College of the District of Columbia took place before the Com- sionets this morning. Contrary to ex- Pectations the hearing was quite orderly, in marked contrast to the previous one. President Z. Richards of the proposed col- lege was the first speaker. Drs. Frank H. Williams of the medical faculty and Chas. T. Lindsay of the dental faculty presented a statement in reply to the re- port of the health pfficer advising against the bill. “We do not ask for this charter,” this statement said, “as a condemnation of what we have done, or as a condemnation of what was done by our predecessor, but as a measure of protection to and an aid in our future usefulness and as a guar- antee that we and our successors will com- ply with its requirements. There is no homeopathic college in the District, while there are at least four old schoc! colleges.” While, they said, it was possible that the objections of the health officer, offered to this bill, might have applied to their pred- ecessor, the National, they could not admit that they applied even in part, to the Washington Homeopathic Medical College. “As for the reason for changing the name,” the statement went on, “the per- sonnel of the board of trustees and of the faculty of the National Homeopathic Med- ical College has been completely changed with the exception of three men, and as there was some antipathy toward the col- lege on the part of a number of physicians, members of the Washington Homeopathic Medical Society, justly, they supposed, and because there js in this city a national university, having medical and dental de- partments, with which we were frequently confounded, we deemed it best, in order to be distinctive and to avoid the odium whi had been put upon our predecessor, to change the name entirely as we had charged the personnel and thereby make a new corporation and obtain a congres- sional charter, which act members of the medical and ‘dental societies advised us would be the first and greatest step toward rmg recognition. We believe that y educational institution in the District d have a congressional charter. do not fear the provisions of the pending bill for the supervision of medical colleges by your honorable body and would be pleased to have you visit us now or at any time. You will not find 2 thoroughly equipped medical college, it takes time to do that. No college of any kind was fuliy equipped in the bexinning. There are only two such in the United tes, the Unive sity cf Pennsylvania and Columbian Col- lege of New York, but you will find us as well equipped as any medical college in the country as old or even much older We have dissecting rooms, chemical, histo- logical and pathological laboratories, stere- oxcopes, fo ibitions, charts and mod- els, microscopes, vte., sufficient for teach- ing all the branches of medicine, eurgery and dentistry. Our college is being « ducted in an honest and honorable man- ner, not In the least under the control of those who in former years governed the National, When such men as constitute our board of trustees lend their names to any institution, that alone should be a sufficient guarantee and convincing proof that that inscitution would be honestly and honor- ably conducted. Our object is to teacn medicine, surgery and dentistry in all their tranches thoroughly and allow none of our students to gra is uate unless he or she thoroughly qualified to practice medi- © or dentistry.” We have not yet established a reputation. for that also takes time, but we would be very materially aided in establishing our reputation and in our work by having a congressional charter, for we have assur- ances from members of the Washington Homeopathic Medical sty and from members of the Dental Society of iheir support when such a charter is obtained. ‘The first objection to the bill, “that there is not a representative homeopathic phy- siclan among the incorporators,” we can- not admit, for all those men ‘who teach branches where medicine is used are ho- meopathists as representative as any in the city, we care not what definition is applied to the word representative. We do not as- sert they are all graduates of homeopathic colle for Hahnemann himself, the fou of the faith, and his illustrious fol- low Herring and Lippe, with a host cf other representative homeopathists, were not graduates of homeopathte colleges, but we all use homeopathic medicines in our practice, and nothing else, and use them homeopathically. Dr. J. B. G. Custis replied, although he said, according to Dr. Williams, he was not eligible. He did not believe the trus- tees of the proposed cdllege were able to carry out the provisions of the charter if it were granted. It would require an endow- ment of 310,000, He called attention to the list of incorporators, and declared that not one of them was a prominent homeopath in the city. Unless the incorporators proved their ability to teach medicine it would, he claimed, be a most dangerous thing to grant a charter. Students would be grad- uated without the necessary qualifications, and the greatest harm would result. Dr. Cusiis claimed that the proposed college was not representative in any respect of the homeopathic school, local’ or national. The Commissicners premised to consider the bill. AND THINGS ABROAD. PEOPLE Matters Interesting the Fashionable World in London, Queen Victcria has arranged to leave London today and should arrive at Nice Wednesday. ‘The Prince of Wales has left for the Ri- viera and will enjoy a Mediterranean cruise on his cutter Britannia. The Duke of York will be gazetted an admiral. shortly, probably among this year’s queen’s birthday honors.

The function will be held for the queen by the Princess of Wales, who will go from Sandringham to Marlvorough House for the purpose today. Vanity Fair denies the accuracy of the story, which it is responsible for circulat- ing, that the engagement of Mr. William Waldorf Astor to Lady Randolph Churchill (formerly Miss Jennie Jerome of New York) will shortly be announced. There has been little influenza in Lon- don this year, owing, it is said, to the mild- ness of the weather, but Mr. “Tim” Healy and Sir William Harcourt are among the victims. The former kas recovered, and the latter is still under the weather. Hall Caine’s daughter Lily was mar- ried Thursday to G. D.

There was a large meeting of supporters of Ballington Booth, who lately resigned his command in the Salvation Army, last evening in Cooper Union, New York. Mr. Booth gave the following outline of his pro- posed religious m ovement: “Mrs. Booth and myself have not come bere tonight to allude to the recent sad trouble. It is quite true we have, after mature deliberation, decided to inaugurate a new movement. Could we have avoided it, it would most assuredly have been done on our part; but recognizing that the great American people believed that we had done a work nine years for which they were gratified, and would not listen to the pro- test that we would retire into priv: life, we have concluded to stay here and work on new li: es. “Recognizing, as we did, the largest field in the world, and still further recognizing that there was room in America for one, two, aye, one hundred Salvation Armies, we have resolved to the best of our ability to win cver the middle classes of the artisan community of this country. We wish no strife with the Salvation Army, no strife either literal or verbal. “I believe that the failure, so called, of the religious organizations of the present day is that they do not come down to the living places where Jesus Christ wants to be represented. “I want to assure Mrs. Booth and those officers who have stood by me that I see in the distance a movement which tonight has received its impetus in this great gath- ering. Ido not want anything that exists in the air, but a genuine consecration of our soldiers to the faith of Christ. “There is at least 46 per cent of the Wage-earling populace of the community who are not identified with any church or place of religious worship. “It is these we want to reach and extend to them the love that inspired the Naza- rene on the streets of Jerusalem nearly 1,900 years ago.” ——.os DISTRICT GOVERNMEN lquor Licenses.
