POLITICS INTRODUCED A Ouser Election of Emergency Hospital Directors. Dr. Kerr's Friends Turned Down the Old Ticket—Exciting Scenes at the Election. There was an election at the Emergency Hospital yesterday afternoon to fill the vacancies caused by the expiration of the terms of office of ten members of the board of directors. Heretofore these elections have passed off quietly, and the old board, which had worked so hard in the interest of the institution, was always re-elected. “Yesterday it was a different kind of an election. For the reason {t need only be recalled that there {is a fight in the attending staff of the hospital. Every member has ex- pressed himself as opposed to Dr. James Kerr, the surgeon-in-chief, and not long age a letter signed by them was sent to br. Kerr requesting him to resign. Dr. Kerr, however, did not see it that way, and charges were at once preferred by the at- tending staff, which are now in the hands of an investigating committee. Both Dr. Kerr and the opposition deter- mined to strengthen their positions by capturing the election of directors yester- i It is charged that Dr. Kerr has been Ny active in this work, although ges of packing the meeting are made both sid. i Arranged a Plan.

Treasury Department Side of Mr. Graves’ Bond Suit. Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle has filed an answer In the matter of the petl- tion of William Graves of New York, who veral days ago prayed that the Secre- tary be required by writ of mandamus to deliver to him $4,500,000 of the recent Issue of 4 per cent bonds. It is said that Mr. Graves contended that the bonds were not delivered to him, after the acceptance of his bid, because he was not allowed to deposit the gold at the subtreasury In New York instead of here. The Secretary de- clares that Mr. Graves was treated as ali other bidders were. 5 The Secretary's answer concludes as fol- 0 “It was necessary that the ioan should be suc fully carried through, and in such a way as to prevent gold already in the treasury from being drawn out of it. It was desirable that the loan should be as widely distributed as possible and among b fide bidders, bave been accom one of these ends could shed if irresponsible per- sons could have bid, with no limitations as to time, thus be enabled to keep the government from realizing on the loan ex- cept at their pleasure and turning the whole scheme into a mere speculation. “The statement that there are still the Treasury De of bo an amo' untrue, in rtment of the said issue undelivered and undisposed of, t of bonds exceeding $5,000,000 is Il the bonds of said $10,000,000 i ve been sold to bora fide purchas- ers, in accordance with the terms of the circulars offering the bonds to the public and the bids made thereunder. Some bonds have not been delivered to the purchasers, but all of them were disposed of before this petition was filed, and became the property of bona fide purchasers who have the right to demand their delivery upon completing payment in accordance with the terms cf sale.” ——. EXCURSIONS, Many people will undoubtedly visit the ideal resort, Marshall Hall, tomorrow, and quite a number will avail themselves of the opportunity of enjoying the regular Sunday planked shad dinner given by the management of this place. These dinners are unequaled, and those who have par- pn of one of them speak of them in the most complimentary manner. With every dinner is served the celebrated Marshall Hall clam chowder. Those who are desir- ous of visiting Marshall Hall during the week ay also enjoy one of these dinners. A special dinner is served upon the arrival of the boat In {ts usual style. Two trips will e made tomorrow by the steamer Ma- er, which will leave at 11 a.m. and pm., and returning leave Marshall Hall at 1:10 and 5:34 p.m. The steamer Macalester on weck days leaves at 10 a.m. and returns at 2:30 p.m. River View, the charming excursion re- sort on the Potomac, about fifteen miles from this city, is now blooming In its early spring loveli and tomorrow its tenth year as Washington's favorite excursion re- sort will be inaugurated. The steamer Samuel J. Pentz, which during the win- ter months has been repainted and re- fitted throughout, will make two trips to the View, leaving her wharf, foot of 7th street, at 11 a.m. and 2:45 p.m., and re- turning will place the excursionists home by 8 p.m., in time for the young men to pay an evening call on their sweethearts, During the winter the grounds at River View have been greatly improved, and the amusements have been put in thorough order. Though the $20,000 “chute” is not yet completed, Capt. Randall expects to have it ready for operation in about ten days or two weeks. —*—__—_—. Palings, Spear Head, per 100, $1.25. F.

The biennial council of the National Soci- ety of Colonial Dames concluded its ses- sicns at the Arlington yesterday with a meeting that lested from 9 a.m. until near- ly 6 o’clcck in the evening. Changes in the constitution of the society were agreed upon providing that eligibility memtership should date from 1776 instead of 1783, in order 1ot to encroach upon the prerogatives of the Daughters of the Amer- ican Revolution, and authorizing the exec- utive cummittee to regulate the local or- ganization of the Dames in non-colonial states anc assure them representation in the national scciety.

When last week butter reached a price lower than ever before known at this sea- son of the year, it was thought that It could hardly decline any further. Yet the price today is from one to two cents a pound lower than it was a week ago, and the market 1s in such an unsettled condi- tion that even a lower price would not surprise dealers. Eggs are still very low, there being practically no change in price, and none is expected in the immediate fu- ture. Cheese also shows no change in price. Spring chickens are somewhat scarce, ard there is a good demand for all kinds of poultry, with firm, unchanged prices, Vegetables and fruits are about as last reported, and the market 1s quite ac- tive. Beef and other meats remain sta- tionary. As a general thing, the market is well supplied and a healthy tone Is no- ticed except in butter and eggs. The recent hot spell is, perhaps, largely responsible for the continued decline in butter, although increased receipts have had their influence on the market. The prices today are even lower than last week, when it was confidently believed that bot? tom prices had been reached. There is quite a demand for the finer grades, but the market is somewhat unsettled, of course. The change in the weather, if nothing else, is expected to cause a rise in the vailing today, which are: Fanc er western extras, 17 cents a pou firsts, 15; seconds, U4. Chelce bakers’ stock, 18; New Yorke tubs, ry print, 14; ern, 10; Mary- land end Virginia creamery, airy pack- ed, 1 The supply of eggs continues very large, and as buyers are somewhat critical, prices remain practically unchanged. Present prices are not likely to be disturbed to any material extent for some time. Today's pri Nearby fresh, 10% cents a dozen; western, 10; southern, 9, and keat or guinea stock, 4 to 5. There is no change in the cheese market, its condition and prices being as noted last state week: New York cream, 1 cents a pound; flats, 12, and ponys, 13. Poultry is not quite so plentiful as. last week, but prices remain practically un- changed.

The warm weather has not caused the closing of the munictpal lodging house, for there are always some unfortunatcs who wiil not sleep in doorways, stal-les or on vacant lots. These worthy ones are always welcome at Capt. Cutler's free hotel, and even during the hot weather in the sum- mer some of them are willing to saw wood for their food and lodging. During the winter the lodgers numbered atout 400 a week, but the warm weather of last weck caused a decided falling off in the number of applicants. Last nignt two dozen men were cared for and fed. During the winter months there are very few colored men who apply for accommo- dations, but at this season of the year the colored men sometimes outnumber the whites. They are all going north, sald Capt. Cutler this morning. Most of them are working people who have done work at winter resorts, and are now going north for the summer season. Now that there are not so many guests at the house, the superintendent has start- ed his summer cleaning, in order to have the house in good condition when the tramps make a start toward the south in the fall. eeses PELSSO9EOSSHOSES CODECS 83 per cent of all deafness is caused b; Catarrh.

The Growth amd Development of an Interesting Cewntry—Diamond Min- ming —Saging the Ostrich. A large and appreciative audience, and one that was representative of the culture of the capital, gathered last evening at Metzerott Hall te hear the annual address of the president of the National Geographic Society. The occasion was.a delightful. one in every way, and the eighth annual ad- “dress of President Gardiner G. Hubbard amply repaid all those who took advantage of the opportunity to hear what he had to say on & most timely and interesting topic. President Hubbard took for his subject “Africa Since 1888, With Special Reference to the Recent Troubles There.” The topic which the president selected for the exhaustive paper gave plenty of op- portunity for an interesting dissertation, and Prof. Hubbard, in a clear and lucid manner, explained at length the geographic and political changes which have been 50 frequent of late, especially in South Africa. With the troubles in Matabeleland and the awkward position in which the English have been recently placed at Buluwayo, Prof. Hubbard had a deal to say, and he threw some interesting light upon events in that part of the world. South Africa Company. President Hubbard reviewed at some length the history of South Africa, leading up to the present state of affairs, criticising the British South Africa Chartered Com- pany and holding the board of directors of that remarkable business enterprise, with its noble head, Sir Cecil Rhodes, as partic- ularly to blame for the friction which has arisen. This company has a most valuable charter and has made the best of its chances to acquire tremendous wealth, and its success is largely responsible for the Sreat boom in South African gold and dia- mond mining stocks, which, under the leadership of that remarkable individial, Barney Barnato, has played such an im- portant part in the British financial world of late. In the Mines, In the course of his address President Hubbard said that the British South Afri- ca Chartered Company has the only pos- sessions In that part of the world which have really yielded any considerable divi- dends to their promoters. A large propor- tion of all the diamonds in the world are found in their diamond fields. Did they but choose to do so, they might flood the world with precious Stones, and put an end to the immense values now cbtained. Their policy, however, a wise one so far as they are concerned, is to allow the fields only to be worked to such an extent us to partially supply the demand, and thus keep up the prices. President Hubbard described at some length the methods which are pur- sued at the diggings, teiling what tremen- dous efforts are used to prevent the work- men from carrying away any of the dia- monds which they may unearth during their labors. Every night at the end of their day's work the miners are stripped to the skin, and: their clothing {s_ thor- oughly searched by experts. The men are penned in the mines, andilt is impossible for them to escape; yet it is an admitted fact that every year the company mus lose upward of a million dollars through the dishonesty of their employes. The miners secrete the precious gems about their persons in most unique ways, 50 skillfully as to defy detection. Other Industries, President Hubbard ‘said that ostrich farming is one of the most important in- dustries of South Africa, after the diamond and gold mining. The ostrich was once al- most destroyed, but before the bird had become extinct estrich farms were started, and they are becoming more plentiful yearly. Gold mining is almost as profitable re as mond mining. It is estimated that the world’s yield of ‘gold this year will be greater than that of any previous year, and that half of the supply will come from South Africa. The Boers, that~remarkable people who are attracting so much of the world’s at- tention just now, were described at length. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Hubbard expressed the opinion that the Kaffirs will not suffer the same fate as did the aborig- ines of Ameriea, in being driven out) by the whites, but that they will ultimately predominate, or, at least, ‘offer powerful resistance to the encroachments of the European colonists. The lecture was illus- trated with many beautiful lantern slides, which materially assisted the audience in their understanding of the subject. Son Not Found. Richard Collins, the aged man from Liv- erpool, who came here several days ago in search of his son, Petritk* Collins, was sent to the Little Sisters of the Poor this aftert oon. He has not yet found his son. Inspector Hollinberger kas communicated with the authorities at Buffalo, N.Y. where Mr. Collins says his son Richard, who fs @ furniture polisher, lives.

Entertainment Committee at Cavalry Church—Rehenrsal of Section D. “Two important Christian Endeavor meet- ings were held last night; one was the rally of the entire entertafnment commit- tee ‘af the Calvary Baptist Church, the other the rehearsal of section D of the chorus in the Western Presbyterian Church, At the meeting of the entertainment com- mittee the plans for providing accommo- dations in the private homes of the city fer the thousands of visitors to the con- vention who will not stay in hotels were discussed. The entire city has been di- vided up, and each district given in charge of one of the fifteen members of the cen- tral entertainment committee, who is as- sisted by a section of the auxiliary com- mittee. Last night the members of each section were assigned a room, and for half an hour the several sections and their managers conferred about the work. The section managers outlined to their assist- ts the manner in which they were to canvass and the territory they were sup- posed to cover. The entire committee then reassembled, and talks were made by Chairman Shand and Mr. W. H. H. Smith. Those in a position to judge say that the rehearsal of section D of the chorus last night was the best of the series. Certainly {t was the equal of the others in enthu- siasm, and showed evidence of previous practice. Mr. P. 8. Foster had charge of the active work of rehearsal and Mr. H. G. Kimball, a member of the music commit- tee, presided at the organ. Brief talks were made by Chairman C. 8. Clark, Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, pastor of the West- ern Chureh, and Mr. W. H. H. Smith. ————. — Doors,1% thick, all sizes, 90c. apiece. All white pine. F.Libbey & Co.,6th&N.Y.ave. —Advyertisement. The Abracadabra Club. The Abracadabra Club” met at the resi- dence of C. A.
