BROTHERS uve, CARNIVAL 01 A Unique Entertainment at the Palace Friday Night. As a brilliant close to a successful sea- son, a skating carnival will be given at the Convention Hall Ice Palace Friday evening. This carnival will be one of the most interesting features in connection with the amusements of inauguration week, and it is expected that a great number of visit- ors to this city from the north will take advantage of the opportunity :hus_ pre- sented for indulging in their favorite sport, It seems a little queer to a Maine, a Ver- mont cr a Wisconsin man to start for an evening on the ice without making any extrz preparations as to wraps, but those who attend the rink Friday eve at any time during this we ence just that state of affair Tee nival last year was one of the evenis of the season, and it is thoug! he af- fair thi ‘ar, on account of tt tion period, and the better knowledge Washingtonians have of the art of skating, will even go beyond that in (he magniti- cence of costumes and in poin? of number: Visitors who attend the rink will find every convenience for comfort at their hand. The re rooms, parlors and retiring rooms are all el lv fitted, while the Ice surface inclose: hin the four walls of the building is the largest incioxed ice surface in the world, not even tho im- mense rinks of Europe soins beyond it in point of size. The rink is thoroughly equip- ped, having an excelient erche teen pieces, an orchestrian, music du be hired by those who have not their own weapons of attack upon the fcr. At the carnival Friday night several prizes will be given. The management offers a gold watch for the handsomest male cos- tume, and a like article for the handsomest ladies’ costume. Stlver watches are to be given for the most original costumes in the two classes, while a man's bieyele suit will be given for the most grotesque suit, the judges believing that no weman would try for this prize. Of course, nobody knows exactly what the costumes will be, but it is likely that several Yellow Kids will be in attendance, with ears and smile, and there will be campaign caricatures, patriotic ladies from various states, and the conven- tional costumes always to be seen at a masquerade, such as kings and queen! clowns and countrymen. One of the pret- tiest effects that can be achieved in the way of an original costume is in an elec- trical line, tiny Incandescent bulbs that twinkle and are reflected in the cleer, pol- ished surface of the ice in the most be- witching fashion being used for decorative purposes. There will probably also be some groups, “Brer Rabbit” and his family be- ing a conspicuous feature at the event last year. The grand march, headed by competent skaters, will be started at ‘ialf-past 8 o'clock, and no one who is not in full cos- tume will be allowed on the ice before 9 o'clock. After that time the surface will be thrown open to the ‘al public, and skating will be general. The judges will distribute the prizes and select the cos- tumes to which they are to be awarded, be- tween 8:20 and 9 o'clock. ‘The management of the zink has been in correspondence with George A. Meagher, the champion fancy skater of the world, who is remembered here by all who attend the rink for his wonderful work on the steels, and it is hoped that he will be bere in time to lead the grand march and gen- erally supervise the ice during the time the carnival is at its height. Mr. Meagier will also give an exhibition of his wonder- ful art during the evening, and visitors to this city who miss seeing this sptendid skater, whether they are acquainted with the intricacies of ice skating or not, will miss one of the features of the week. Mr. Meagher has managed several car- nivals in New York, Raltiznore, Philadel- phia and other large cities, and has made them highly successful. The carnivals which have been given in the north this year, and even as near home as Baltimore, have been wonderfully sucessful, both in point of costumes and in attendance, but it is thought that the affair in this elty, coin- ing just at this time, will eclipse anything in the line attempted in the cast. aaa WHY RHODES KEPT ALOOF. Resumption of the Jameson Raid In- vestigation, z The inquiry of the British parliamentary committee into the Transvaal raid by Dr. Jameson wes resumed yesterday in West- minster Hall, London. Cecil Rhodes was again questioned by Mr. Labouchere. The witness reiterated again that he assisted in the raid and revolt in the Transvaal, but, he added, the next time he would do so legally. Questioned in regard to a certain speech made in the house of commons by the sec- retary of state for the colonies, Mr. Cham- berlain, Col. Rhodes replied that he had not read it. He continued: “But I always read Mr. Labouchere’s speeches, because he is so attentive to my career. ‘And I al- ways read Truth in order to discover my faults.” (Laughter.) Col. Rhodes was then asked why he had not accepted the responsibility of coming to Dr. Jameson's assistance during the lat- ter’s trial, and he replied that his appear- ance would not have benefited Jameson, because he would have been obliged to say that he did not authorize the raid, adding: “I think it most unfortunate that the Cape parliament's report on the raid was pub- ished. If I had been a juryman I would have said that the man behind Jameson was the real author of the raid, and I would have dealt leniently with Jameson. I sent_a telegram saying that if I could save Jameson a day's imprisonment by coming home I would do so.” Later Mr. Labouchere propounded a financial question, to which Sir Michael Hicks-Beach objected as outside the scope of the inquiry, whereupon Mr. Labouchere selet for a division on the proposal to dis- cuss it. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach again objected to a public discussion of this feature of the inquiry. Mr. Labouchere protested against there being any secrecy about the inquiry, but finally the room was cleared. On the examination being resumed public- ly, Col. Rhodes was again questioned on the financial features of the raid. He said that he held forty to fifty thousand shares of the British Chartered South Africa Com- pany. He did not think the success of the raid had increased the value of these shares iniany wey Se ae ree oF BM ob jects in promoting the revolution. Mr. Bigham, Q. C., next examined Col. Rhodes, the latter first apologizing to Mr. Labouchere for turning his back upon him. Sherman 8. Jewett of Buffalo, N. ¥., a Es figure in the railroad and steam- world, is dead.

SOME IMPORTANT VACANCIES Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, March 3.—Interest ig the one hundred and thirteenth session of the Baltimore annual conference of the M. E. Church, which commenced this morning at Eutaw Street Church, centered in the ap- pointments of preachers for the coming year. Although plenty of business will occupy the attention of the members, in their minds will be conjectures as to the charges which they wili have in their care afier the bishop reads the lis: on the closing day of the session. Several important pulpits will become vacant by reason of the fiv: year limit of pastorates, and in the shift- ing on this ministerial chessboard which will have to be done to fill these vacancies many other changes will doubticss occur. All eyes are turned to Foundry Church, Washington, which is supposed to be the place cf worship for the next four years for President McKinley. So far as these matters may be arranged prior to the of- ficial announcement of the bishop, Rev. Dr. Lucien Clark is slated for the position. He has just completed a five-year pastorate at Madison Avenue Church, Baltimore, whic is one of the churches in tne confereni having tne privilege of selection of its pa: tor. Of course the bishop must sanction such selections, but when the trustees an- rounce their choice confirmation is a mat- ter of course when the official list is made up. On the eve of the conference it was ru- mored that Bishop Newman would use his influence to have the new President sclect Metropolitan Church as his church home in Washington. His argument is that Metho- t congressmen attend that chureh and s better suited for such a distinguished yer as the President. osition to this it is pointed out that :. Hugh Johnson, who ha: r ar to serve Metropolitan, nd a President who favors American Products and wants protection for them should patronize American preaching. Rev. Dr, King ofsNew York and Rev. Dr. Luther T. Townsend, former pastor of Mt. Vernon Place Church, Baltimore, and now literary work at the national capital, are also being pushed by friends for the pastorate of the President’s church. Anacostia Church will also change pas- tors under the five-year rule. Changes in Baltimore. The prominent changes in Baltimore are of the presiding eldership of the We: Baltimore district, from which Rev. Dr. J St. Clair Neal retires after six years ot service. Among the preachers named as probable to succeed him are Rev. J. B. Sutt of Dumbarton Church, Washington; Rev. C. W. Baldwin of Wesley Chapel, Washington; Rev. George E. Maydwel!, secretary of the conference, who retires under the limit from Eutaw Street Church; Rev. Dr. J. C. Nicholson, Harlem Park Church, Baltimore. Rev. George C. Bacon of Hagerstown is slated to succeed Dr. Maydwell at the Con- ference Church. He will also become sup- erintendent of the Baltimore City Mission- ary and Church Extension Society, and will have Rev. J. W. R. Sumwalt to assist him in pastoral work. Rey. Dr. W. W. Davis retires from the Church Extension Society's superintend- ency to take a pastoral appointment. Rev. J. Fred Helsse retires from the editorial chair of the Baltimore Methodist to take a pulpit. He will be succeeded by Rev. L. A. Thirlkeld, who leaves Greenmount Avenue Church for the editor’s chair, Other certain changes on account of the rule will be at Harford Avenue Church, Rev. Richard Norris; Franklin Street, Rev. B. F. Clarkson; Mount Vernon Church, Hampden, Rev. G. W. Cooper; Appold Church, Rev. C. O. Isaac; Towson, Rev. A. R. Reiley; Baltimore circuit, Rev. T. E. Peters; Hunt's circuit, Baltimore county, . J. McLain; Harford circuit, near rdeen; West Harford circult, Rev. B. F. Devries. Rev. C. C. Albertson of Buffalo, N. Y., is mentioned as the probable successor of Dr. Clark at Madison Avenue Church. His coming will raise the question of admit- iing men transferred from other confer- ences. Some of the members favor a mo- tion that no transfers be accepted without a corresponding transfer out of the confer- ence. Rev. E. L. Watson, who received a call to First Church, Cincinnati, last fall, but was not admitted to the appointment because the conference declined to admit any more “transfers,” will probably seek return to the Baltimore conference. He left it a few years ago to take a charge in Minnespolis. The Woman Question. Consideration of the woman question will also come up under the paper sent down from general conference, which voted for the admission of women as delegates. The Baltimore and most of the eastern con- ferences have always voted against the ladies, and little change in the majoricy is expected this year. Bishop Williard Francis Mallalieu, who is presiding, is making his first official visit to the Baltimore conference. Last night he was given a reception at the church in order to become better acquainted with the men over whom he will wield the gavel for the next week, and whose destinies for a year he holds in his hands. The bishop is a native of Massachusetts, and was born at Sutton, Worcester coun- ty, December 11, 1828. He was graduated from Wesleyan University in 1857 and the following year was admitted to the New England conference. For twenty-four years he served various charges in the confer- ence and was sent as delegate to the gen- eral conferences of 1872, 1876 and 1880. In 1882 he was appointed presiding elder of the Boston district and two years later was elected a bishop. For a time he made New Orleans his home, but now lives in Buffalo. In 1874 Bishop Mallalieu received an honorary degree of doctor of divinity from East Tennessee Wesleyan University. The program for the meeting this year includes evangelistic services every af- ternocn except Thursday, wnen the an- niversary of the Women’s Foreign Mis- sionary Society will be held. Wednesday night will be devoted to education, Thurs: day night to Women’s Home Missionary Society, Friday night to missions, Satur- day night to churck extension, Monday, March 8, to Epworth League. Ordination of elders and deacons will take place next Surday. Eutaw Street Church is the oldest build- ing devoted to Methodist services in Bal- timore. Its congregation previously enter- tained the conference in 1885 and in 1872, when the present pastor, Rev. G. E. Mayd- well, was ordained deacon. In the rear of the church is a crypt, where the bodies of Bishops Asbury and Emory were laid before their removal to Mount Olivet cem- etery. ; Next year the conference will likely meet in Washington, owing to the rotation be- tween the two citles. Waugh and Foun- ary churches will extend official invita- tions to entertain the body. Reports of the Districts. Reports of all the conference districts were submitted this morning at the begin- ning of the session of the conference. Rev. Dr. Luther B. Wilson, presiding elder of the Washington district, noted but one death, that of Rev. Samuel Shannon, pas- tor of K Street Church.

McNeil. a IMMIGRATION BILL VETO. tablished The President Objects to the Ednca- tional Restrict The veto message of the President upon the immigration bill was sent to the House last night. The fact that the bill had been vetoed was published in The Star yester- day. The message said, in part: “A radical departure from our national policy relating to immigration is here pre- sented. Heretofore we have welcomed all who came to us from other lands, excevt those whose moral or physical condition or history threatened danger to our national welfare and safety. Relying upon the jealous watchfulness of our people to pre- vent injury to our political and social fab- ric, we have encouraged those coming from foreign countries to cast their lot with us and join in the development of our vast domain, securing in return a share in the blessings of American citizenship. A century’s stupendous growth, largely due to the assimilation and thrift of millions of sturdy and patriotic adopted citizens, at- test the success of this generous and free- handed policy, which, while guarding the People’s interests, exacts from our ‘!mmi- grants only physical and moral soundness, and a willingness and ability to work. “A contemplation of the grand results of this policy cannot fall to arouse a senti- ment in its defense; for however it might have been regarded as an original proposi- tion and viewed as an experimeni, ‘is ac- complishments are such thai if it is 10 be uprooted at this late day its dixadvan- tages should be plainly apparent and the substitute adopted should be just and ade- quate, free from uncertainiles and guard- ed against difficult or oppressive adminis- tration.” “It is proposed by the bill under considcr- ation to meet the alleged difficulties of the situation by establishing an educational test by which the right of a foreigner to make his home with us shall be -leter- mined. Its general scheme is to prohibit from admission to our country all immi- grants ‘physically capable and over sixteen years of age who cannot read and write the English language, or some other lan- guage;’ and it is provided that this test shall be applied by requiring immigranta seeking admission to read and afterward to write not less than twenty nor sore than twenty-five words of the Constitution of the United States in some language, and that any immigrant falling in thit shall not be admitted, but shall be return- ed to the country from whence he came ai the expense of the steamship or railroad company which brought him. “The best reason that could be given for this radical restriction of immigration is the necessity of protecting our population against degeneration and saving our na- tional peace and quiet from imported tur- bulence and disorder. “I cannot believe that we would be pro- tected against these evils by Nmiting im- migration to those who can read and write in any language twenty-five words of our Constitution. In my opinion, it is infinitely more safe to admit a hundred thousand immigrants who, though unable to read and write, seek among us only a home and oportunity to work, than to admit one of those unruly agitators and enemies of governmental control who caanot oaly zead and write, but delights in arousing, by in- flammatory speech, the Illiterate and peace- fully inclined to discontent ond ‘umult. Violence and disorder do not originate with illiterate laborers.” —_____»-—_____. Friendship Lodge. Friendship Lodge of Good Templars, which has held its sessions for eight years in Melford Hall, on I street northeast, opened its new home in Northeast Temple, H and 12th streets northeast, last Monday evening. There was a large attendance of its members, all its officers but one an- swering roll call. Among the visitors were Mesers. Russell and Daley of the Grand executive. Three candidates were in- itiated, Miss Mamie Bishop, P. C. T., pre- siding. The good of he order hour was given largely to social converse and gen- eral congratulations. Addresses were given by Messrs. Williamson and Daley, a reci- tation by Nellie Bishop, a vocal ‘solo by Mrs. Stanford and plano solo by Miss Em- ma Bishop. " ——.
