Weeks Promoted to Be Quarter- master General. Brig. Gen. Charles G. Sawtelle, quarter- master general, has been placed on the re- tired list of the army at his own request, urder the forty years’ service clause. He says that this is the first time in forty- seven years that he has been enabled to lay aside his work with perfect ease of mind. General Sawtelle and Mrs. Sawtelle have gone to Fort Monroe, Va., for the ben- efit of the health of Mrs. Sawtelle, who has become quite an invalid. As announced in yesterday's Star, Col. G. W. Weeks, assistant quartermaster gen- eral, has been nominated to succeed Gener- ai Sawtelle at the head of the quarter- master’s department. The new appointee was born in New Hampshire and appointed from Maine in 1858 to the Military Acad- emy. He received the brevets of major and lieutenant colonel for faithful and meritor- ious services during the war. He was at the beginning of his service on duty in the east. for a time being chief quartermaster of the 8d Army Corps, Army of the Poto- mac, and chief quartermaster of the north- ern district of New York. In 1865 he went te the Pacific coast as chief quartermaster of the Department of Columbia, and after service in all of the western departments ceme to Washington in 184, and has since been attached to the quartermaster gen- eral’s office. —————~e+____ The Key Monument Contract. The committee on design of the monu- ment to Francis S. Key, to be erected at Frederick, M4d., has accepted the design submitted by. Alexander Doyle of New York, and the contract has been awarded to him. Among the sculptors who com- peted for this work were Ephraim Keyser, Charles J. Pike, George M. Hinks and Charles Owen of Baltimore; H. F. Ellicott, U. 8S. J. Dunbar and Prof. Amaties of Washington; Augustus Tukeman, Ver- hagen, Baerer & Webb of New York; Gess- ler & Son and Delahunty & Co. of Phila- delphia. The accepied design is to be completed in time for unveiling June 14, 1898, and the site selected is an elevated plat facing the main entrance to Mt. Olivet cemetery. The bodies of Key and his wife will rest be- neath the monument. ii Se weclet Decrease in Postal Receipts. Another big decrease in postal receipts, this time amounting to $104,443 net, is shown in the statement of the gross re- ceipts at the thirty largest post offices for January as compared with January, 1896. The total receipts were $2,439,911; against $2,944,354, a decrease of 3% per cent. Only. nine of these offices showed increase, and those were slight. The biggest proportion- ate decreases were at Rochester, N. Y., al- most per cent, and Albany, over 10 per cent, while both Indianapolis and St. Paul decreased over 9 per cent. New York's total receipts were $664,672; decrease, $18,- 395; Chicago, $407,207; decrease, $31,392. oe For a Bank President's Pardon. Petitions have been sent to the President for the pardon of Warren F. Putnam, late president of the Granite State National Bank of Exeter, N. H., convicted of vio- lating the national bank law, and sen- terced to five years’ imprisonment. He has already been in prison nearly two years. ——_-e+—______ Election in Philadelphia. Municipal elections were held in Phila- delphia yesterday to elect members of councils, magistrates, school directors and constatles. A light vote was polled and the republican ticket was generally suc- cessful. In the sixth senatorial district, ex-Magistrate Israel. W. Durham, _ the leader of the Quay forces, was elected to succeed United States Senator Penrose, who is his pergonal and inthnate friend, his, only opponent being the prohibition car‘djdate. In the fifteenth representative Gistricl -there was a warm contest for the succession to Walton Pennewell, between Clinton Rogers Woodruff, a prominent lo- cal. reformer, sane Joseph Swope, a THE CLOSING MEETING Lutherans Finish the Oelebratfon of an An- : niversary. The Co-Worker of Martin’Luther ana His Lite ang Deeds. The two evenings’ exercisés intended ‘to commemorate the- four-hupggedth anni- versary of the birth of Philip Melanchthon, the co-worker of Martin J.ujher, which were begun Monday evening at the Luther Memorial Church, Rev. Dr. J. G. Butler, pastor, were brought to a close last even- ing. Mr. A. J. D. Wedemeyer of Liberty, N. Y¥., @ member of the Luther Statue Asso- elation, presided. The pregram was be- gun with the performance of a prelude, by Mr. C. J. Toof on the organ, entitled “Ein” Feste Burg,” which was composed by Mar- tin Luther. ‘The Scripture lesson was read by Rev. Paul A. Menzel. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. S. Domer, following which the hymn “Lift Up Your Heads” was sung by the choirs and congregation. “Our Lutheran Young Peopie” formed the subject of an address by FP: -ident L. D. Alden of the Lutheran Young People’s Union. In his remarks Mr. Alden said: “Never were the powers of evil so gredt as now, but never was the church so aroused to her responsibilities and the necessity for great endeavors. There is a remark- able interest awakened among the Christian young people of our day in regard to re- ligious Ife and service. “Gratifying to us is the fact that this in- terest is very prominent in our own church and among our own young people. The are rallying to the work as they have never Gone before, under the name of Christian Endeavor, Luther League, Luther Alliance, Lutheran unions and others. Rev. D. F. Garland of Taneytown, Md., president of the National Lutheran Chris- tian Endeavor Union, spoke on the topic “Melanchthon, the Scholar of the Refor- mation.” He ‘said in part: ‘Melanchthon lived at a crisis period in the history of the church, and of the world. He lived in the midst of the great conflict between liberty and despotism—a battle that was being fought for no single nation, for no single generation. The importance of authors like Melanchthon has not always been correctly estimated. Dante 1s wor- shiped at the grave, to which he was hur- ried by persecution, while Milton, in his own day, was the ‘blind adder that spit his yerom on the king’s person’ and later the ‘mighty orb of song.’ So Melanchthon noble effort to bring the actual world near- er {deal perfection in that mighty strug- gle of the centuries is being better appre- ciated. He was the most celebrated and the most powerful Iterary champion of those principles which were then strug- gling for infant existence. Luther, who spoke of him as the ‘inconcelvably learned and elegant Melanchthon,’ sat at his feet for instruction. He was the scholar of Germany in tnat day when the mighty corflict between that which was and that which ought to be took place, when the struggle was transferred from the ‘tented field” to the realm of ideas, which, burning all over with indestructible life were mar- shaled against principalities and powers. He liyed to lead when the~brain and not the arm, the thinker and not the soldier, books and not Kings were:set to rule the world. . After an anthem by the combined choirs of the Lutheran churches of the District of Columbia, Rev. Dr. V. L. Gonrad of Pk Gelphia, Pa., editor of the Lutheran Obse: er, made a brief address on’The Lutheran At the conclusion of Dy. Conrad's re- marks Dr. Butler read a letter from Mayor Schieren of Brooklyn, N, Y/.. who had rromised to speak en “The Luther Statue,” regretting that he was unable to come to Washington at this time. /Dr. Butler foi- lowed the reading of the'letrer with an earnest appeal for contribjitions in aid of the proposed Melanchthon: memurial library at Awhison, Kan. “Our Lutheran Women of the address of Mrs. A, Y; urer of the Lutheran Wontims Home and Foreign Missionary Socig¢ty. “There ar she said, “over 30,000,000 Lutheran women in the world. She occupies a place in every station in life. The Lutheran woman has pre-eminently the gift of tongue, for she sings her songs and tells her story in every land. I am glad to say she is not the s0- called new: woman, who is disgusting with her mannishness and in acting which she deceives no one but herself. She has in- spired the churches of her denomination to a better spiritual life and is inspiring the children to love the church and Christ.” ‘The closing address was by Miss Jennie Christ of the Deaconess Home of Balti- more, whose subject was “Luthern Chari- ties.”” After the singing of the-hymn “Leave God to Order All Thy Ways,” the benedic- tien was pronounced by Rev. D. E. Wise- man. The following committees had charge of the anniversary: Arrangements—Mr. L. D. Alden, Rev. C. H. Butler, Mise Josephine E. Neuhaus, Mr. George R. Linkins and Mr. Frank C. Keefer. Program—Rev. C. H. Butler, Mr. L. D. Alden and Mr. George R. Linkine. Finance—Dr. J. W. Graham, Messrs. Geo. F. Muth, A. D. Spangler, T. P. Hickman, D. W. Keck and Harry F. Dunkhorst. Mr. J. H. Seiffert was director of music, and Miss Ella C. Butler organist. ———— Federation of Labor. The weekly meeting of the local Federa- tion of Labor was held last evening, with President James F. McHugh in the chair. Over one hundred delegates responded to the roll call. Credentials from those rep- resenting eight organizations were received and the delegates admitted. ‘The members of the legislative commit- tee reported that they had met with very good success in local bills before Congress, with the exception of the anti-contract one. This they felt would not be successful during this session.. The contract commit~ tee said they had succeeded in securing. three large jobs for union labor in Wash- ington. z Those having charge of the Rea memo- rial fund made a final report, and stated. that several hundred dollars had been realized on the Labor day. excursion, and the contract for a monument for Mr. Rea would -be immediately let. The shoe clerks reported that they had met with pretty good success in the early closing movement. At present they were only covering the territory between New Yerk and Pennsylvania avenues to -15th street, and all had ciosed with the excep- tion of three’ stores on 7th’ street. “Much other important business! was transacted, the session being prolonged:'to a very late hour. oe A delegate ‘from District, Assembly 66: stated that there would bean ppen meet- ing of the K. of L. held on “fhutsday even- ing at Islater's Hall, 4% sfreeiyand Penn- sylvania avenue northwest, to. which all are invited.

The One Submitted by of New ¥ The committee on design of the Key monument last night submitted a report. recommending the selection of the design submitted by the scuiptor, Alexander Doyle of New York city. The report was adopted unanimously by the association, says the Baltimore Sun, and the contract was awarded to Mr. Doyle. The accepted design ts to be completed in time for unveiling June 14, 1898, and the site selected is an elevated plat facing the main entrance to Mr. Olivet cemetery. The bodies of Key and his wife will rest beneath the movument. Five thousand dollars was appropriated for.the monument fund by the Maryland legislature. and the remaining sum needed was collected by the association from per- sons in all parts of the country, many penny _and nickel contributions being sent by schol children. The design selected consists of a circular pedestal of granite on a series of unusually wide-spreading bases. The height of this pedestal is about thirteen feet, and breadth at the bast is fifteen feet. It is simple in design, except for a band of carv- ing around the base of the die and a band of stars under the cornice, the artist hav- ing devoted more study to simplicity and harmony of outlines than to florid elabora- tions. 5 Nevertheless the whole effect of the de- sign is one of elaboration, owing to the sculptures. These include a bronze statue of Key, nine feet high, surmounting the pedestal. He is represented on shipboard “By the dawn’s early light” as he dis- covers that “the flag fs still there.” His attitude is one of exultation and inspiration as with the right arm he points his com- panions to the flag, and with the other waves aloft the paper on which he is pre- sumably writing the poem. At the base of the pedestal is a bronze group emblematical of Patriotism. The figure of Liberty is seated, with a flag rest- ing on her shoulder, teachirig the lesson of patriotism to a youth standing on her left. The youth's right hand rests on the flag. while his left is extended. Liberty's left hand, extended, grasps the sword of de- fense, with the point resting on the ground, while her arm embraces the figure of a child. Beneath the group on the face of its base is carved the seal of Maryland, resting on a palm branch that extends across the face of the stone. In the rear of the monument, resting on its base, is a tablet bearing the text of “The Star-Spangled Banner. + e+ CRUELTY TO ANIMAL! Herdic and Street Car Horses Are Ob- jects of Sympathy Nowadays. the Editor of The Evening Star: It would be well if the Washington Hu- mane Society adopted the practice followed in many cities of sending, at least once a week, a man, or two ladies, members of the society, to the stables of the various public conveyance companies to inspect the condition of their horses or mules. One cannot accomplish this by an occasional ride in herdie or car run from any certain point of observation in the streets. The animals should be carefully examined in their stalls. A lame horse is often taken out after a rest, starting in fairly good con- dition, but soon showing signs of merely temporary improvement, and a slight lame- ness becomes a serious injury. Intelligent examination would prevent such a result. T. A self-constituted member of all humane cieties, residing In Washington for the winter, | took advantage last week of a Spare afternoon, and hailing a Pennsylv: nia avenue herdic rode to the terminus of the route. The condition of the horses drawing the heavily loaded omnibus was deplorable. One was evidently suffering intense pain, caused by a swelling on one hind leg. Although a bitterly cold day, the exhausted creature was dripping with sweat, and it seemed doubtful whether he would reach the stables. He made a bra effort under the constant lash of the driver to do his share of work, but always fell back, leaving double duty io his mate, who struggled on, trying to relieve the poor sick horse. At the stable, released from his harness, the suffering animal limped feebly out of sight. I told the driver that the horse must not be driver until fully recov- ered from lameness, and I said as much to a possible “boss” who came to the herdic door to demand explanation of my com- plaint. He seemed astonished at my au- dacity, and said he “had not noticed t the horse was not all right.” A stupid con- fession of his utter incompetence for the office he holds at the stables. This case is but a common daily experience of hundri of people, and they see these acts of crue ty to animals, lament the unkindness of their masters and when requested to re- port these instances to the society, reply We do not care to appear in the polic courts.” They are not required to app in a police court. By inquiry a person can ascertain exac at course should be taken. I trust th is letter may not be devoid of good results. All over the country the Washington Humane Society is known to be the embodiment of energy and perse- verance. It is known that its ‘“recom- mendations” are in reality laws that are not to be violated without the consequent penalty or fine it Is its right and intention to exact. SIBYL WORTHINGTON. A Suggestion. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Would it not be a good suggestion for the Humane Society to apply the proceeds of the recent concert to engage a competent attorney to prosecute all street-car lines operated by horses in the city of Washing- ton who violate the law in their use of live stock? Without an exception, animal life with these companies does not receive the least consideration. The tortures these poor horses are exposed to and the unmer- ciful treatment they receive from the @rivers in bad weather, when all the cars are packed and overcrowded with people,are literally inhuman. But street-car compan- jes seem to have all privileges, including the one cf cruelty to animals. - M. E. Von WIMPFFEN. —— WHAT WAR MEANS. Ex-Senator J. B. Henderson Tells What the Results Would Be. _ Ex-Senator J. B. Henderson recently re- celved a letter from James M. Lewis of St. Louis declaring that we must take Cuba, and whip England; that the coun- try’ demands it. In reply Mr. Henderson said: ‘My sympathies are altogether with the Cubans, but I am entirely beyond the military age; and es you are just in the -midst of it, I am perfectly willing to se- cure you a splendid opportunity, with only one request, after independence has been achieved; and that is, one of the large su- gar plantations as rear as convenient to Havana, so that I may make it a winter residence during my remaining years. “As to the war with England, of which you speak, I ami really afraid it would be an exceedingly short war. Our navy seems to be entirely destroyed by a little storm at Hatteras a few days ago while passing ie Rip Raps to blockade Charleston har- r. “I am decidedly in favor of the acquisi- tion of Canada, but I happen to have what I regard to be the best possible inside in- fcrn.ation on this important subject, and that is that when the United States and Canada shall agree upon a union, Great Britain will not object to the annexation. Hence it is that I have concluded that .f we can get Canada for nothing, it is a &reat deal better to have if without debt and pensions than with an expenditure of abcut six thousand million dollars, the de- struction of our cities by bombardment, the sinking of our beautiful ‘white squad- ron,’ and the oppression of an enormous federal debt, which would last for the next two or three hundred years. “We do not want Canada just now, bur Carada will be indispensable to us at the proper time in the future; and when that. time comes Canada will fall into our basket like ripe fruit from the tree. “Indeed, a war with England just now would terminate greatly to our disadvan- tage, because France and Germany and probably Russia would be found in heariy Jeague with England in any possible war that we should now inaugurate.” —_—— Troops to Protect the Cherokees, The War and Interior departments have made arrangements for the full protection of the beneficiaries of the Cherokee awards, ‘payment of which began today at Hayden, I.

The Mayoralty Nomination to Prob- ably Narrow Down to ™ DT ter Supplee—C ims Made by Both. Correspondence of ‘The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, February 16, 189 It is now understood that the republican primaries for the election of delegates to the city convention, which will nominate candidates for mayor, for sheriff, for clerks of the several courts and for other city offices, will be held early in the spring, and the result of this report has been to bring several political aspirations to light which would otherwise have probably re- mained unrevealed for some time to come. The Mayoralty Candidates. Sheriff Stephen R. Mason has been a candidate for mayor for some time past. and within the last few days Mr. William T. Malster, who was ex-Mayor Latrobe's opponent in 1883, and Col. J. Frank Sup- plee have entered the field. It 1s generaily beheved that the contest will narrow down to a fight between these two gentlemen, and the friends of both are preparing to do all in their power to land the nomina- tion for their particular favorite. All sorts of reports are afloat relating to deals and arrangements in behalf of each aspirant, and there is a prospect of a very enliven- ing campaign for the control of the prima- ries. Those who favor the nomination of Col. Supplee are jubilant at the reported outcome of a conference held in the city Thursday between Senator-elect’ Welling- ton, City Chairman Stone and Col. Supplee, It of which is said to have been an assurance of support from Mr. W ton, and the promise of substantial ing by the city organization from ¢ mar Stonc This has brought out a counter boast from the Malster men, who assert that the new board of police commissioners, a ma- jority of which, through the installation on the ISth of March of Mr. W. W. Johnson, will be republican, will exert their influence in behalf of Mr, Malster should Col. Sup- plee’s friends attempt to run the prima- ries in the interests of their candidate. The Malster men are unquestionab! ue! over the rumors of Supple’ t ai rospec: backing by the city organization, and y that if bis forces undertake to control the “window” at the primarics they will use the police force for ail it is worth, and will check all questionable po- litical maneuvers which they have reason to fear may be undertaken During the week The Star correspondent saw a number of those who have been prominently mentioned as figuring in the alleged deals, and they ha one and all denied having in anywise identified them- selves with reported movements in behalf of any candidates. Some Counter Statements. Chairman Stone declared that the report that he proposed to use the city organiza- tion in behalf of Colonel Suppiec Urely without foundation. He sald that he had no personal preference as yet, but au- thorized the statement that he did not fa- vor the nomination of Mr. Malster at the present time. Police Commissioner Heddinger expr: great indignation when informed of was en- a the report that the police department would be utilized to further the chan He of Mr. Mal- the pol tor would re a fair primary and maintained about the polling ces, and that beyond this it would play no part whatever in the elec- tion. Both the Maister and Supplee men, notwithstanding assurances that their fears are groundless, are very suspicious of each other's movements, and both sides are working hard in the interests of their lead- ers. Mr. Malster has a strong hold on the affections of the working classes, while C Supplee’s strength lies chiefly in his a ation with republican business men. ster. be u to si that hat order wa: 7 latter has also a large following in the numberiess republican clubs which have cropped up all over the city within the past two years. As far as surface indica- tions go, it fs impossible to tell who 1s likely to get the nomination. The adhe of both men are energetic and enthust and at present neither appears to have the advantage. The attitude of Mayor Hooper is a of anxiety to both side: arty at large will experience a dec nsation of relicf when he indicates whether he intends to take a part in the fight or rot. Despite his unpopularity with the party as a whole, the mayor has built up a good-sized per- sonal following during his tenure of office. and is now at the head of an element of the republican party which resembles the body of independent democrats. It is thought that Mr. Hooper stands slight prospect of winning a renomination, but the exercise of his influence in behalf of any one candi- date, It is believed, would prove sufficient te threw the nomination that way, and he undoubtedly holds the key to the situation. Other Nominations to Be Made. In addition to the nomination for mayor, candidates will be named for sheriff, for clerks of the criminal and city courts and fer two circuit judgeships. It is said that the nomination for sheriff is likely to go to City Councilman Samuel Davis of the eighteenth ward, the present leader of the “combine” in the council; that Sheriff Ma- son will be named for clerk of the criminal ccurt, ard that Mr. Jam-s Allison, president of the first branch of the city council, will et the nomination for the clerkship of the elty court. Mr. Gorma Attitade. Democratic political matters are practi- cally dead, the only topic discussed being Senator Gorman’s attitude in connection with the approaching campaign for the control of the general assembly. In fact, so lttle democratic politics is talked :bout in Baltim: that one would hardly know of the existence of that party, which two years ago dominated the state and city gcvernments in all their departments. Mr. Wellington has taken Mr. Gorman’s place 4s the central public figure, and the crowds wait for him and waylay him in the corri- dors of the Carrollton, as they used to wait fer and waylay Mr. Gorman. ——— Exports and Imports. The monthly comparative statements of the exports and imports of the United States during the months of January, 1897 and 1896. issued by the bureau of statistics show that tne amount of domestic mer- chandise exports during the last month was $93,505,103, as compared with 543,304 for January last year. The source im- ports of merchandise during January last amounted to $51,327,081, of which $27,20%, was free cf duty. During January, 159 the total imports of merchandise aggre. Gated $68,647,600, a loss for last month of over $17,300,000. Addressed by Senor Quesada. A joini convention of the Michigan legis- lature listened for nearly two hours Mon- day night at Lansing to a fervid address from Seror Gonzalo de. Quesada, charge @’affaires for the Cuban republic in this city. Senor Quesada praised the legislature for its ‘recent resolution declaring for Cuban independence. He asserted that the Cu- bans asked not for men, not for money, but only for the privilege of fighting on equal ground with their oppressors. The Cubans, said he, would destroy their island if necessary to gain their independence. Senor Albertine of the Cuban junta also spoke, after which it was unanimously vcted to be the sense of the joint conven- ticn that Cuba shculd be free and inde- pendent. ————_+ e+ ____ Funeral of John Randolph Tacker.

A Havana, Cuba, newspaper describes the Las Recogidas house of refuge, the only women's jail in the city, as a filthy and improper place, in which are found black and degraded women and criminals with blood-stained hands, together with ladies of high social standing, arrested on political charges. All of the inmates of the jail are com- pelled to associate during the day in @ large court, where the washing and cook- ing is conducted. At night they are gath- ered in dark, nasty rooms, without any sanitery convenience. In these rooms seventy-four women of all sorts are quar- tered, though there Is space for barely forty. The prison has cells and stocks constructed in plantation style. The newspaper, which calls attention to this condition of affairs, pronounces it a disgrace to the city, and says that it ex- pects to see sieps taken promptly for the purpose of correcting the Its of the jail and preveating honest ladies from living in this manner with degraded criminal wo- men. The paper says it is impossible to believe that the authorities are aware of the facts, otherwise they would remedy the defects of the prison, which are repulsive to hvman sentiments and contrary to mo- hality and religion. SSS Veen “Oufda” on the Immigration Bill. Mme. de la Ramee, otherwise “Ouida,’ the novelist, is a determined opponent to the immigration bill new pending in Con- gress. In a letter to Senators Lodge and Caffery in criticism of that measure, she says: “Will you pardon my addressing you on the subject of the bill that is now before Corgress in intent to exclude emigrants who cannot read. If you exclude Italians who cannot read, you will lose the best and most laborious part of the population, and you will admit the trash of the cities. It is not a test which can be properly ap- plied to Italians or indeed to any popu- lace.
