The Czar's Response. ‘The czar. In responding to the toast, said: “I am touched with the sympathetic and Welceme given us at Cherbourg. I much admired the squadron which es- corted us and also the admiral’s vessel, the Hocke. On touching the soil of a nation which is Russia's friend, I share the feel- ings which vou have just expressed, Mon- sieur le President. I raise my glass in honor of the French nation, the French fleet and her sailors. I thank the president of the republic for the wishes and the wel- come he has just expressed.” The czar then clinkec glasses with Pres- ident Faure, as M. Faure had done with the ezar at the end of his own toast. The ravai band present played the Marseillaise and the Russian anthem. At the conclusion of the banquet the czar and President Faure engaxed in a cordial conver: lasting for twenty minutes. M. Faure then escorted his majesty to the imperial train, where the czar warmly shook the hand of the president, who kissed the hand of the ezarina. There was a pretty scene after the ban- Ge when a nurse carried the baby prin- ess, Olga, the ten months’ old daughter of the czar, dressed in white, through the glazed hail next to the banqueting hall, where a brilliant reception was being held. The throng of brightly uniformed officers saluted the little grandduchess and the eth- @r guests applauied. When the royal party left the dint Yoom at the arsenal, after the banquet w conciuded, the company made a rush to gecure the menus and flowers to preserve as Mementoes of the occasion. Departure for Paris. The batteries fired a final salute as the Bar and czarina entered the train, which started at 8:30 o’clock, the presidential train following at 8:45 o'clock. A double line of troops presented arms as each of the trains departed. President Faure has conferred the various grades of the Legion of Honor upon the various members of the czar’s entourage, including the grade of grand officer of the legion upon Rear Admiral Lomin. In order tc please the townspeople of Cherbourg, the czar has ordered that the imperial yachts Pole Star and Standard should remain at Cherbourg until the end of the week. The czar has conferred decorations upon the notable French statesmen who took pert in the reception ceremony. oe A FIGHT FOR CONTROL Meeting of the Board of Direcctors— President Hoffmann’s View of the Value of the Stock. President John Gill of the Mercantile Trust and Depos!t Company of Baltimore, who, as heretofore stated in The Star, has for several days been “trying to secure an option on enough stock of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Company to enable him to change the policy of President Hoft- mann and Vice President and General Man- ager St. John fa regard to rate cutting, last night went to Portsmouth, Va., to attend the annual meeting of the stockholders of the road, which takes place in that city teday. Before leaving Baltimore Mr. Gill con- versed with a Star reporter on the sub- Ject of his efforts to secure control cf the Seaboard and Roanoke, in which corpora- tion the former = for a tong time been 2 director. Mr. Gill authorized the reporter 0 “I have a strong personal interest in this matter and have taken an active part in recent negotiations for the simple reason that I am personally one of ihe largest holders of the stock and represent much more. The controversy between Mr. Hoffmann and myself is one solely of busi- tess judzment. I do not maintain that Mr. Hoffmann is wholly responsible for the recent ¥ of the company, but I do belle and insist that that polic whoever is responsible for it, is very detrimental to the interests of the security holder: “The cutting of rates is always a dan- kerous expedient on the part of a railroad ke ours, and it Is doubly so when con- fronted by an aggressive and tinancially strong competition. It is easy ‘o start such a warfare, but no man can tell where it may end if it is persisted in. In many cases In the past it has resulted in the com- plete ruin of either or both of the com- peting lines. “I confess that I do not like jerty in w | well to see a prop- ich so many of my friends, as elf, are interested enzaze vol- 7 proceeding, and acted In a way to emphasize my against such a conduct of our af- untarily in so hazardou: I have fairs. “It is casy for those responsible for it to Predict a glorious outcome.

A mecting of the directors of the Sea- board and Roanoke Railroad Company was | Beld yesterday afternocn in Baltimore for | the purpose, It is said, of discussing mat- | ters growing out of the present circum- ances connected with the company’s af- fairs and for the examination of the annual which is to be presented to the at their annual meeting today. It was reperted last night in baltimore among railroad men and bankers that the proceedings of the board were marked by a great lack of harmony. For the first time Vice President St. John was present at a treeting of the directors. He attended by Invitation. It was rumored that President Hoffmann had stated that unless he re- ceived a unanimous Indorsement at today’s election he would retire from the presi- dency, and it was also stated that Mr. St. John had threatened to leave the road if his past course In regard to rate cutting was condemned by the same avthority. So far as Mr. St. John ts concerned, there is no probability that {t will prove true, as he has, it is stated, an ironclad contract with the Seaboard, which has yet several years to run, and under which he draws a ealary of $15,000 a year. A Statement From Mr. Hoffmann. After the adjournment of the meeting of directors, President Hoffmann gave out a statement bearing on the negotiations on the part of Gen. Gill to secure options on the stock of the Seaboard and Roanoke, which was as follows: “I do not consider it to the interest of any stockholder to give an option on his stock, and particularly at one hundred dollers a share, as I consider the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Com- pany’s stock intrinsically worth more, be- ceuse there are in the treasury of that com- pany stocks and bonds to the value of more than the capital stock. This {s entirely outside of the holdings of that company, which controls about 1,000 miles of road, or the property, terminals and roadbed. “I therefor: say that the stock of the Seaboard and Roanoke railroad ts intrinsi- cally worth much more than par, and where a control is desired by any other line, more than double par. Where ts there another case in which 1,000 miles of rail- Toad are controlled by a company with a capital stock of $1,388,400? And is this stock not worth more than $100 per share?” — Barbecue and Ratification. A ratification meeting and barbecue will be held the latter part of October at Falls Church, under the auspices of the L. Saunders and W. F. Thomas Club of this city. Honorary members recently elected are: Frederick W. Emrich, B. H. Warner, J. Maury Dove, C. M. Emrich, M. Lothrop, S. W. Woodward, B. K. Bruce, Dr. C. B. Purvis, George S. Kraft, J. T.

This evening a meeting will be held at the Shiloh Baptist Church in the interest of the seminary, Dr. Morgan, general secretary of the New York society, being among the speakers announced to de- liver addresses, A BUILDING WANTED Annual Meeting of the Young Men’s Christian Association. DETAILED REPORTS OF OFFICERS Popular Subscription Planned for a New Club House. ————————— THE MEETINGS HELD ——— The forty-fourth annual meeting of the Young Men’s Christian Association of the District of Columbia was held last even- ing at their hall, No. 1409 New York ave- nue northwest, and was attended by one of the largest assemblages which has been present on any similar occasion in the history of the organization. So many per- sons were there that the room where the meeting took place was filled far beyond its seating capacity and members stood during the entire proceedings. President L. Cabell Williamson presided and General Secretary W. M. Multer con- ducted devotional exercises. As soon as these were concluded President William- son submitted his report for the past year, in which he said: “The difficulties in the prosecution of the work have been felt very keenly by the directors and committeemen of the as- sociation. On every hand they have met the ery of “hard times” and had to con- tend with the reduction in subscriptions, as business has been mere and more de- pressed. The limited rooms have greatly curtailed the advantages usually offered by the association to its members. Hence, the membership privileges have failed to attract a large number, causing a notice- able reduction in the receipts of the as- sociation, while the expenses could not be reduced proportionately. “The reduction in the number of mem- bers compels us to face the fact that 1f we would attract a larger number of mem- bers and make the association of the great- est possibie profit to the largest numb of young men of the city, we must ©€ tend advantages of such exce and so great variety that will attract them, whatever be their Inclination, whether toward phy departments. “Washington is perhaps, more t other city in the country, a city 0 men. Daily calls at our office and the number of letters received from young men from all parts of the country reveais the fact that there are coming into our city numbers of young men who are leaving their homes in every hamlet, village and city in the country, and swelling the army of young men already employed in the vari- cus offices of the city. The association sends large numbers of such young men every month into Christian homes in the city, and their interest in the association would be enlisted and continued if the building and its advantages were of su cient attraction. During the few clo: weeks of the year vast numbers of youn men haye made inquiry about the athleti and other departments of the wo hes been with the deepest regret have seen them leave the association t6 be cal, mental, social or spiritual that we come identified with ocher Institutions. While the educational work has filled an important place in the hves of hundreds of young men, there are still many lines of study that could be successiully undertak~- en. Especially is this true in mechanical and industrial lines, which departme pat esent untouched. > tford, Conn., are among many ns where the educational departm received endowments S memorials well-endowed commercial ond industrial school, that would fit young men for busi- ress as well as for various lines of m facturing, building, plumbing, bricklayi stonecvtting, iron and woodwerking etc., would bring great honor and a perpetual memory to one who would wisely endow such a department of our work as a m¢ mortal.” The report called attention to the for facilities for wheelmen at the « tion building. he report further s fhe first nine months of the association work was conducted Lenman bullding, where a suv cational work was carrie! on, and the w ne ocia- the the tae ork par in of reorganization was begun. On July 1 quarters were taken up in. the restored rooms of its old home: the Sabbath after- noon services and Bible studic which had been conducted in Foundry M.E. Church were returned. ‘The inereased attendance proves the wisdom of the change. The Sunday school teachers’ Bible study, under the leadership of W. H. H. Smith, has held its sessions in the building since July. The primary teachers’ meetings were held tn the association rooms until their summer vacation. “The a: Col. J.

D. Harris, who for five yea faithfully served as assistant, 2 signed to enter business. To both Mr. Slo- cum and Mr. Harris the associution fs pleased to express appreciation of services rendered. Particulariy to acknowledge its appreciation of Mr. Harris’ abi devotion to the work as acting : after the death of Mr. Pugh. Mr. Her C.

There is no doubt in the minds of most of us but that this 1s the time to go forward. We cannot <e- main in cramped quarters, poorly appoint- ed and as poorly equipped, and hold our ground. There is but one way, and that 1s forward. To attempt to remain passive Is to lose the influence, members’ support, standing in the community that !s the re- sult of forty-four years of hard wock, and find ourselves again at the bottom of a hill which we have striven so hard to climb.

Dr. Schiffmann’s remedy no doubt possesses the merit which 1s claimed for it, or he would not authorize this paper to an- nounce that he {s not only willing to give free to each person suffering frum Asthma, Hay Fever or Bronchitis in this city one Mberal ‘free trial bo: of his Cure, but urgently requests all sufferers to call at F. A. Tsehiffely, Jr.'s, drug store, 475 Pa. ave., from 8 a.m, till 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. S, and receive a package absolutely free of charge, knowing that in making the claim he does for his Cure a strong doubt may arise in the minds of many, and that a personal test, as he offers to all, will be more convincing, and prove its merits, than the publishing of thousands of testim js from persons who have been permanently cured by the use of his Asthma Cu “Dr. Schiffmann’s Asth- ma Cure,” as it is called, has been sold by drug- gists of this city ever since it was first introduced, although many persons may never have heard of it, and it is with a view to reaching these that he makes this offer, ‘This is certainly a most gen- erous and fair offer, and all who are suffering from any of the above complaints should remember the date and place where the distribution will be made and avail themselves of the same. Persons living out of this city who desire to test the effi- cacy of this most wonderful remedy will recef a bs mail by writing to Dr. R.

In his report Mr. Multer sald: The report of the general secretary deals with the facts and figures of the sociation. The lack of a suitable building makes it next to impossible to carry on a work that shall win the Interest and operation of the young men who are tem- porarily or permanently in the city.

The Bible studies have been held regularly, conducted by Col. Bird. Nearly every day young men have made inquiry about homes and boarding house: and over 200 have been located.
