As a result of conferences between Secre- tary Olney and Assistant Secretary Hamlin several changes have been made in the con- sular regulations, which are expected to prove of the greatest importance to com- mercial interests both in the United States and in European countries exporting goods to this country, and to do much to meet the complaints which shippers and import- ers have made for years past at the pay- ment of useless fees on invoices. It is provided that hereafter no oath shall be required for the verification of invoices of goods which are subject to entry under the free list or under specific rates of duty and as to goods subject to ad valorem du- ties oath shall be required only when there reasonable und to suspect fraudulent reriies talcatioer ce other fraudulent prac- eee ence amendment to the regulations prohibits consular officers from receiving directly or indirectly the whole or any part of the fees received by commissioners or otter officers for administering oaths, veri- fying invoices, or anything as a gratuity on account of the administration of such oaths. —_———-o-________ Marriage Licenses.

PRINCETON SHOWS IMPROVEMENT Matches Played by the High School Teams. CHESS TOURNAMENT ENDED axe A Richmond special to the Baltimore American, dated yesterday, says: As the result of injuries received in a foot ball game last Friday, Charles Blay- lock, nineteen years of age, died yesterday, after great suffering. He had been severely reprimanded by his parents for playing foot ball, and he tried to keep his injuries @ secret. In the game, which was played between two local teams, he was knocked down, and half a dozen players fell heavily upon him. He was then kicked in the back and his spinal column injured. Dr. L. W. Staton and Dr. R. E. Franklin were sum- moned, and they found that several verte- brae had been broken. The youth soon be- came unconscious, and suffered intensely for two days. Dr. Staton said today his death was the result of the injuries re- ceived in the game. No investigation has yet been made, but the authorities may inquire into the affair tomorrow. Blaylock was buried today. Penna., 14; Amherst, 0. Pennsylvania beat Amherst 14 to 0 yes- terday at Philadelphia, and in doing it gave the poorest exhibition of foot ball of any Quaker team in years. Fumbling, off-side playing and general in- difference and listlessness mark2d Pennsyl- vania’s play, and it was only toward the close of the second half that the team put any life into its game. Amherst is possi- bly one of the weakest teams Peansylvania has met this season, yet in the first half Amherst kept the ball in Pennsyivania’s territory nearly all the time, and cnce or twice had it dangerously near the Quakers’ goal. It was not Amherst’s strong play that en- abled it to make such a good showing, but the rank fumbling and persistent off-side Play of their opponents. Pennsylvania's play was so bad that it gave rise to the svepicion that the~ indifferent work was purposely acted so as not to give a line upon the team to some Lafayette men who were present studying the Quakers’ game. For the first time in a month Boyle, Pennsylvania's star end, played. Just be- fere the call of time his injured leg was again hurt, and he had to be carried from the field. Princeton, 45; Virginia, 0. The Princeton foot ball team yesterday, at Princeton, defeated the University of Virginia eleven by the score of 48 to 0. Two halves, of twenty-two minutes each, were played. During the first half of the game the visitors put up a fair resistance, but in the second half the Tigers had things quite their own way. Princeton's goal line was never menaced during the entire game. While Virginia was weak in the line, few long gains were made, owing to the splendid tackling of Cocke and Dab- ney. The work of Quarterback Hoxton was also of a high order. ‘The entire Princeton team worked tcgeth- er as one man. Smith's runaing was phe- nomenal and his passing accurate. The star player of the day, however, was Baird, who kicked two goals from the ‘ield, beside giving a fine exhibition of punting under difficulties. Brokaw, at end, played even a better game than Cochran, tackling hard and sure, and getting down the field quick- ly on punts. About 7,000 persons witnessed the game. ¥ale, 16; ‘esleyan, 0. Yale defeated Wesleyan at the Yale field yesterday afternoon 16 to 0. Capt. Mur- phy’s men scored only three times during the game, once in the first half and twice in the second. The feature of the game was the great work of Goodwin, Yale's sub- stitute, who made both touchdowns in the second half, one after a run of forty-five yards. Sibley and Raymond id Wesleyan’s best work. HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL, The Chevy Chase Club Beaten by the Central Eleven. The foot ball team of the Central High School defeated the eleven of the Chevy Chase Club yesterday afternoon by a score of G0. The game was well played, and bitterly contested throughout. ‘The two long end runs of Ball, the all-around play- ing of Capt. Jolly and the bucking of Al- bert and Oyster were the features cf the Central game, while Walsh, fullback on the C. C. C., was the star player of his eleven. The line-up of the Central was as follows: Center, Paskell; right guard, Menden; left guard, A. Barnard; right tackle, Ballanger; left tackle, H. Barnard; left end, Caldwell; right end, Ball; quarter, Jolly (captain); right halfback, Kummell; left halfback, Albert; fullback, Oyster. Touch-downs, Central, Kimmell; goals kicked, Central, Oyster, 1. The team will play a practice game this evening at Kendall Green with the First Gallaudets. The team of the Business High School Was defeated yesterday afternoon by the M. A. C., at College Park, by a score of 340. The Business boys held the M. A. C. down to 6—0 in the first half, but after Capt. L. Monroe was retired from the game in the beginning of the second half on account of an injured shoulder they went to pieces and the M. A. C. eleven had ®@ walk-over. The line-up of the Business: C. Monroe, left end; Moore, left tackle; Walker and Hackman, left guard; Muhler, center; Amiss, right guard; L.

Preparations for Next Winter's Show Promise a Great Success. ‘The National Poultry Association met last night at 812 12th street to consider ar- rangements for next winter’s show. There was a fair attendance, and great interest was manifested in the work before the association. Mr. Ashley M. Gould of Ta- koma Park, Md., and Mr. Ernest Gersten- berg of this city were admitted to member- ship. The various committees reported on their respective duties. The committee on special premiums has found a general feel- ing of good will among the citizens of Washington toward the show, which, it is admitted by all, is a good thing for the city, as it not only affords every one a splendid opportunity to study the various breeds of poultry and pet stock, but it also draws to Washington a large number of people and no small amount of business. A circular has been sent out to prominent citizens, who are interested tn the poultry industry, inviting contributions for special premiums. Those who do not wish to make a donation of money can contribute articles suitable for prizes. Full credit to all such will be given in the premium list, which will be issued in a few weeks. A very handsome list of ‘“‘speciais’’ was in this way offered to exhibitors last year, and: served to draw a large number of exhibits and placed the Washington show in the rank with those of New York and Boston. The entries for all stock shown will close one week before the show opens. The dates for the show are January 12 to 18, in- clusive. The whole week is thus given up to the show. Monday will be used to get everything in readiness, and the show will open Tuesday and close Saturday night. It was decided to place the exhibition hall in charge of expert men, under the supervision of Messrs. Gardner and Bar- roff, who are superintendents cf the poul- try and pigeon departments, respectively. Thig year all morning feeding will be done early, so as to sweep the hall and sir it be- fore 8 o'clock. Last year visitors were an- noeyed all day by men sweeping end feed- ing. The association is determined to work a reform in this matter this year. The classification to be used in the pre- mium list was talked over. It is the plan to adopt the order and nomenclature of the American Standard, adding to it the few new breeds which are likely in a few years, because of their beauty and use, to be given a place in the book. President Munson and Secretary Howard are spending the week at Hagerstown studying the poultry show there, which is the largest in the United States. In Mr. Munson’s absence Mr. E. 8. Schmid acted as president. ——— THE HIGH SCHOOL CADETS. Promotions Made on Account of Re- cemt Resignations. The stories about dissatisfaction among the boys of the Central School because of the appointments in the cadet regiment are denied at the school, except In the case of Reg. Adjt. Juhlin. The other officers who save resigned are, it is stated, aware that their senior officers hold their position by having higher averages, and they could not expest to be promoted over them. The resignation of Capt. F. A. Kummel, Com- pany D, was, it is announced, on account of personal reasons and not because he was dissatisfied with the rank given him. Sec- ond Lieut. Craig did not enter the regiment until his second. year, so could not ex- pect a higher position, bh: ig only served two years. As.He ls a fourth-year boy, it would not benefit him to continue in the regiment. It is the rule that cadets who take a partial course cannot be commis- sioned, which rule applies to J. H. Poole, who was appointed a first sergeant. Being a fourth-year boy, of course, he could not benefit much by remaining. ‘The case of Reg. Adjt. Juhlin is different. Juhlin leads his class in scholarship, but that Is not all that is considered in choos- ing a commander for the regiment. His military examination last year was taken into account by the millitary committee. After deliberating on the case for several hours they decided that Juhlin, althougn he led his class last year, did not have the standing in military matters to justify making him coionel. He was given a chance to take the military examination this year, but he did not take it, relying on last year’s examination. The colonel of this year’s regiment, F. Daniel, has, it is stated, a high standing in studies, passed a fine military examination, proved his abil- ities by the manner in which he handled Company D last year and has the respect and gcod will of all the cadets. Juhlin claims that the military commit- tee treated him in an unfair manner, but says, further, that he does not think any ef the teachers who are on the committee have a grudge against him. Members of the faculty say that the boys who have high standing in studies and are the best soldiers and who are popular are the ones pest adapted to fill such responsible posi- tions. Those who are promoted on account of resignations are: To be captain, H. H. Platt; first Heutenants (bat. adj), E. M. Talbot, A. P. Tisdell, E. K. Allen: second leutenants, A. Sze, P. 8. Edmonds; first sergeant, C. D. Young; second sergeants, S. M. Clark, W. F. Pipes; third sergeants, sergeants, C. G. Heylman, C. M. Merwin: fifth sergeants, A. 8. Fuger, C. N. Gerr: corporals, J. B. Johnson, G. B. Robertson, E. Dickson, H. K. Bradford. —_.—_—_ Charges Misrepresentation. Mr. A. B. Schofield, the guardian of M: mie F. Russell, today answered the peti- tion filed in the Probate Court recently by Mr. Chas. F. Benjamin as the next friend of his ward, in which it was said that Mr. Schofield had left this jurisdiction, and that his whereabouts were unknown. Mr. Schofield states that he has been re- siding at 2034 South 13th street, Philadel- phia, since the 17th of last July, and he de- clares that that fact was well known to his ward, and he says, by Mr. Benjamin. He says the facts in the case have been misrepresented to the court, and he assures the court that he is ready and willing to make such further payments to his ward as the court may direct. Mr. Schofield also calls attention to the fact that he has been in communication with the court as to his duties as guardian, and he asks that the citation asked against his sureties be de- nied, because, as he asserts, the allegations on which the petition for it was bas untrue and unwarranted. ee ge Damages Reduced, After deliberating more than twenty-four hours, the jury in the case of Francis I. McLane against ‘the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company reached a verdict last evening; @nd this morning they reported to Judge McComas, in Circuit Court No. 2, that they had awarded the plaintiff $500 damages. The case grew outjof the killing of Willte Ghio, a small newsboy, near the Peace monument in June; 1801. Mr. McLane, as the adruinistrator of the boy’s estate, sued the company, claiming $10,000 damages. He contefided that the conductor of one of the cars kicked or threw the boy off in front of another car, the little fellow being so seriously injured by the second car that death resulted in a few hours. The com- pany insisted that the boy accidentally fell or jumped in front of the car which ran over him, and that the company was not, therefore, responsible. In the first trial of the case, before Judge Bradley, several months ago, $8,000 damages were awarded the estate, but that veraict the court set aside. — Charged With Prise Fighting.

AMENDMENTS © ADOPTED _ TODAY Advisability of Providing for Chil- dren's Lyceums Discussed. MORE BUSINESS TRANSACTED eee The third and last day’s session of the fourth annual convention of the National Spiritualists’ Association convened at Ma- sonic Temple this morning at 10 o'clock, President Harrison D. Barrett presiding. After J. H. Altemus rendered a musical selection, a report was received from Mrs. Cadwallader, chairman of the committee on delegates’ reports. Mrs, Cadwallader de- plored the lack of ful reports of the work of societies chartered by the national associa- tien and the failure of many societies to make any report at all. While there are 150 societies chartered, only forty societies made reports, and many of these were in- complete. The forty societies reported 1,440 members; receipts for the year of $10,380.51; expenses, $9,663.82; balance on hand, $1,271.. 69. Rentals paid by these societies amount- ed to $2,895, which provided seating accom- modations for 5,208. During the year there were held 1,446 meetings, with an aver- age attendance aggregating 1,822. Mrs. Cad- wallader made a number of recommenda- tions for the purpose of advancing the In- terests of all the societies composing the rational association. She desired some ac- tion logking toward means for the mainten- societies after enthusiasm had been created in communities and_ societies formed. There was a tendency for the in- terest to die out after great enthusiasm had been spread agnong the people. After a lengthy discussion the report was adopted with sight amendments. The committee on amendments to the con- stitution of the association made its report, submittting several amendments proposed by the societies throughout the country. Amendments Not Adopted. Amendments providing for giving officers of the association terms of more than one year were voted down, as it was argued that effective leaders would be re-elected, while the long term would prevent the dropping of an ‘unsatisfactory officer. Amendments for the purpose of forcing local societies to contribute to the support of the national association were voted down after considerable discussion. A proposition to appoint a special committee of three to receive the National Spiritual- ists’ Temple fund was voted down, and the fund will remain with the board of trus- tees. An honorary membership in the na- tional association was provided for by the payment of $1 per annum. A recommenda- tion of the committee on finance, ways and means providing that the first Sunday Le- fore November 20, the anniversary of mod- ern spiritualism, be known as national day to spirituaiism, and that societies take up a collection on that day for the »enefit of the cause, was adopted. The secretary's salary was fixed at $1,000 instead of $900. It was also provided that during the next six months a mass meeting be held month- ly in one of the large cities of the country, under the auspices of the natioaal asso- clation, Children’s Lyceums. The committee on children’s lyceums pre- sented a report recommending that parents be shown the necessity of instructing their children in the principles of spiritualism, and that the work of the lyceum be con- fined, and that there be “less proxy talk.” It was recommended that a book of spirit- ualistic music be secured, and that better music be given at lyceum meetings than has been furnished in the past. A recom- mendation that a national organizer for lyceum work be appointed was adopted by the convention. ‘The committee on music reported in favor of compiling a hymn book for spiritualists, ard that orthodox hymn books be done away with, the new book to contain, so far as possible, both original words and music, which was adopted. At 1 o'clock a recess was taken until 2 p.m. The President’s Suggestion Adopted. The latter part of the afternoon session of the spiritualists’ convention yesterday was devoted to transacting business of the or- der. After The Star's report closed the con- vention considered recommendations of President Barrett for future work of the erder, adopting all his suggestions with slight modifications. His suggestions con- cerning the ordination of mediums were re- ferred to a special committee, consisting of L. V. Moulton, Moses Hull and J. B. Hatch, ir. The section regarding the establishment of a spiritual temple in this city as a head- quarters of the National Association was discussed at length. It was announced that Mrs. Flora Cabell of this city had promised to donate $500 for this purpose, and that she would bequeath $2,000 additional for the sime object. With the $2,000 on hand for the building of the temple it was believed a start might be made by the board of trus- tees of the association, which has charge of the building fund. The doctrines of spiritualism were de- clared in resolutions reported by the com- mittee on resolutions and adopted by the association. They are in part as follow: Declaration of Doctrine. “We, the delegates of the National Asso- ciation of Spiritualists, declare the truth of after the separation from the body, and its ability, under proper conditions, to com- municate intelligently with spirits still in- carnate; we declare that the love and to the summerland is the sweetest boon of human kind, and that the instructions of the highly developed spirits lead us to the exalted planes of intellectual illumination ard moral purity; we declare that the teachings of the brightest spirit intelli- gences are incompatible with bigotry and tyranny, but are in consonance with the widest liberty of the mind; therefore, be it, ““Resolved, That we pledge our unfalter- ing allegiance to the white flag of spiritual- ism and the stars and stripes of our be- loved country. “Resolved, That we oppose, by ballot, pen and tongue, every: effort made to abridge our rights as citizens, and that we keep a vigilant eye for the detection of any in- sidious schemes having for thelr purpose the recognition by the state of any form of religion. “Resolved, That we deem mediumship one therefore, it should not be prostituted for “Resolved, That we extend to all deserv- “Resolved, That it is the purpose of the The Evening Session.

The ceremony of receiving the gift of $50,000 from the Ancient Order of Hiberni- ans for the chair of Celtic languages took place at the Catholic University at 4 o'clock yesterday. The assembly hall was hand- somely hung with the papal colors, with the American flag draped in rosettes above and at both sides. The cardinal, archbish- ops’ and bishops sat on the platform, while the body of the hall was filled with divinity students, members of the Hibernian order and others. Dr. Garrigan welcomed the Hibernian visitors and spoke of their high purpose in giving to the university a chair which would perpetuate the Celtic language. In the response by ex-Representative Thomas A. E. Weadock of Bay City, Mich., refer- ence was made to the absence from the platform of Bishop Keane, “whose name is inseparably associated with the university.” The mention of Bishop Keane’s name brought out enthusiastic and long-continued applause, in which Cardinal Gibbons and the other prelates heartily joined. Mr. Weadock spoke of the patriotism of Irish- American citizens, and of their purpose, through the Ancient Order of Hibernian: of doing good without having a “dark ki tern society.” A tribute to Cardinal Gib- bons also received hearty applause. Mr. Weedock’s reference to home rule brought out another round of applause. In closing the speaker expressed the hope that the Catholic Church would be “in America, American; in England, English; in Ger- many, German, and everywhere Catholic.” Ex-President M. F. Wilhere of Philadel- phia, of the Hibernian order, in speaking of the rescue of the Irish language by the sons of Ireland in America, added the hope that “the shackles of foreign domination will fall from the limbs of ancient Ireland’ —a sentiment that was earnestly applauded by prelates as well as those in the body of the hall. The president of the order, P. J. O'Connor of Savannah, Ga., also eulo- gized Ireland. He concluded by handing to Cardinal Gibbons a check for $50,000 for the endowment of the Irish chair. ‘The cardinal, in responding, spoke of the genercsity of the Irish people, who, while not overrich, and in a time of financial dis- tress, gave this handsome gift for the study of the Celtic language. They did not hope to restore the Celtic to a spoken tongue, for the English language was the accepted living language of this country, but it would preserve the ancient Celtic from ex- tinction. The cardinal said this gift would be recognized by the pope as a response to his wish that the university receive gen- erous support. ———— John Y.
