Several interesting papers on “The Mavors of Washington” were read before the Co- lumbia Historical Society last evening, the twenty-sixth meeting of that organization being held in the large hall of the Colum- bian University building. Programs were distributed, containing a brief history of tRe District of Columbia and its various forms of government, to- gether with a list of its twenty mayors, who served from 1802 to 1871. On the piat- form was a life-size portrait in ofl of Robt. Prent, the first mayor of the city. Papers were read by ex-Mayor James G. Berret, A. R. Spofford, librarian of Congress; Dr. J.D. Morgan and M. I. Weller. ‘There were quite a number of people pres- ent when Mr. John A. Kasson caMed the meeting to order and introduced ex-Mayor Berret. Ex-Mayor Berret’s Address. Mr. Berret gave a brief account of the organization of the District government, and told of the condition of the city at the date of his coming here, and of some of the events during his administration, from 1858 to 1861. His acquaintance with Wash- ington, he sald, began sixty-eight years ago next Friday. He told of the straggling village, with its mud streets and lack of improvements of any kind. When Mr. Berret was elected mayor, he said, there was no organized police depart- ment, and the city suffered from lawiess- ness. The two rival volunteer fire engine companies were the cause of much trouble, he said, and his first act was to disband them. He then asked the counctl te pro- vide for an organization of 100 policemen, and with that force good order was main- tained. Before the force was organized the people feared to go on the outskirts of the city at night. The revenues of the District then amounted to only $300,000 per annum, and but little could be done with that sum in improving the city. A school system, ac- commodating 5,000 pupils, was maintained. The agitation of. slavery was then holding back the development of the city, as it caused great uncertainty as to the city’s future. He spoke of the work of Governor Shepherd as the first move toward making Washington a magnificent capital, and of the prediction of Justice Miller, when Mr. Shepherd went to Mexico, that he would be welcomed back and nonored for the great work he had done. An Ideal City. In concluding his remarks, Mr. Berret re- ferred to the great need of certain inprove- ments, in order to make the city an ideal one. His reference to the Eastern branch flats as needing attention at once, was roundly applauded. He spoke of the necd of bridges across the Eastern branch and the Potomac, advocated the immediate im- provement of Rock Creek Park, and hoped parks would be completed on the reclaimed Potcmac flats and later along the Ana- costia river. Long bridge should be re- constructed, he said, on the plans ap- proved by President Jackson. Life Work of Peter Force. Librarian Spofford read an able paper on the life work of Peter Force, whom he re- garded as a man of unusual worth. He vas Mayor of Washington from 1836 to “The one great object which overshad- owed all other objects with Mr. Force,” said Mr. Spofford, “was to amass the ma- terials out of which a complete documert- ary history of the United States could be compiled.” His great worth as an historian, he said, is known to but few, but to all students of our revolutionary history, and all writers upon it, his work estimated at its true value. The last days of Mr. Force's bus life were spent at his home on the north- east corner of 10th and D streets, where he lived for many years, and where he had his great library, that filled seven rooms of the house, and was later bought by Con- ress for $100,000, The First Mayor. Dr. J. D. Morgan gave an account of the life of Robert Brent, the first mayor of Washington, who was in office from 1802 to 1812. Mr. Morgan had a number of pictures relating to his subject, which were passed around among the audience. Mr. Brent, he satd, had been judge of the Orphans’ Court, a justice of the peace, member of the school board and paymaster of the army. Ex-Mayor Emery was present, but not having prepared a paper on the subject under consideration, did not speak at any length, saying he hoped. to do so at some future time. From 1812 to 1820. The last paper of the evening was read by Mr. M. I. Weller, who spoke of the mayors from 1S12 to 1820. In 1812, he said, the population of the District was one-third foreign born, and the residents of English birth turned out in force to defend the city against the British with as much earn- estness as did any others. He said one- third of the population was colored, that Proportion of colored people being still maintained here. One-half of the colored people, however, had always been free. Mr. Weller gave a great deal of interesting in- formation regarding the early days of* the capital. At the conclusion of the exercises a vote of thanks was extended to the sdeakers of the evening. —_——_. : Ex-Representative Aldrich Here. Ex-Reprceentative Frank Aldrich of Chi- cago has arrived in the city and will remain here several days. His pur- pose is to consult with Special Commis- sioner Calhoun respecting affairs in the Islend of Cuba.

SIX DEMOCRATS =VOTE FOR It Attack and Defense on the Floor of the Senate. SOME LIVELY PASSAGES In the Senate yesterday afternoon the de- bate upon the tariff bill became very spir- ited, following Mr. Vest’s reply to the ap- peal of Senator Bacon of Georgia (dem.) for a duty on raw cotton. By the decisive vote of 42 to 19 the Senate adopted an amend- ment placing raw cotton, the great pro- duct of the south, on the dutiable list at 20 per cent ad valorem It is the first time in the history of tariff legislation that a duty on cotton has been incorporated in a Lill. The amendment was proposed by Mr. Bacon on his individual responsibility and without the approval of the finance com- mittee, which thus far has been requisite to the success of every amendment except a minor one, which went through by de- fault. On the final vote six democrats— Bacon and Clay of Georgta, McEnery of Louistana, McLaurin and Tillman of South Cerolina and Rawlins of Utah—voted with the republicans for the Bacon amendment, while the negative vote was solidly demo- cratic, with one excepticn—Kyle, populist. The debate on cotton tcck up the most of the day and but little progress was made on the bill. Less than two pages were dis- posed of during the day. Consistency Urged. In the course of the debate Mr. Vest said that he had, as a southern democrat, al- ways pointed with pride to the fact that cotton was admitted free of duty, as show- ing the democratic consistency in support- ing free raw materials. Hence his disap- pointment that this amendment should be proposed by a southern senator, as It would justify and open the way for a duty on wool, lumber and all other articles classe? as raw material. “Indeed,” he exclaimed, “it leaves us naked without argument.” Mr. Jones (Ark.) also opposed the amend- ment in an incisive speech. He agreed with Mr. Vest that the republicans would scpport the amendment in the hope of creating dissension in the democratic party, and added that they also would support it for the purpose of securing an excuse for increased compensatory duties on coi- ton manufactures. He argued that the small importations could not affect the price of the entire domestic crop, and said that the duty would only add to the price of cotton goods. “It amounts to- nothing end will bring nothing,” he said, “but high- er prices on cotton manufactures.” Mr. Jones said the cotton growers would not be misled and deceived by a Proposition so palpably thin as this. It was the same chaff offered to the south that the rates en other agricultural products gave to the farmers. Mr. Bacon answered briefly that if pos- itiveness of assertion and vehemence were to control in this subject, then the senator from Missouri (Vest) would have his views preveil. But the Senate was a forum of argument, and no senator was to be pul down by the mere vehemence of the sena- tor from Missouri, however long and emi- nent his services might be. Mr. Bacon became impatient at one point ever frequent interruptions, the last one coming from Mr. Caffery. “I think the senator has enough to do to answer the questions addressed to him yesterday by the senator from Massachu- setts as to sugar,” answered Mr. Bacon sharply. The senator went on to say that the objectionable feature of the tariff in the past had been its sectionalism and its discrimination of one part of the country against the other. But the democratic plat- fcrm, recognizing a revenue tariff, insisted that it be free from sectional benefits and that there be perfect equality in burden or in benefit. This was the only “new evan- gel” to which the senatoi tad Serene x from Missour! Democratic Principles, During a colloquy between Mr. Bacon and Mr. Gray concerning the democratic doc- trine of tariff for revenue, Mr. Mason (I11.) called for order, so that he might hear this “family jar.” Mr. Gray asked if Mr. Bacon believed in a tariff for revenue only. Mr. Bacon answered that he believed in a te for revenue,” but not for a tariff for revenue only.” He insisted that the tariff platform of the Chicago convention did not contemplate revenue duties which utterly ignored questions as to the justice or injustice of the duties toward sections or He insisted that the fundamental P ple of the democratic party was to restrict the tariff to revenue purposes, and in imposing it for that purpose to’ give ray benefits and equal burdens to all sec- ions. z In closing Mr. Bacon referred to state- ments that his tariff views were shaped by the interests of his own state. He was not, he said, indifferent to the fact that his people might be benefited or injured by the character of the rates imposed. As it was recognized that the country was to have a revenue tariff bill, he intended to see to it that his state received an equal share of its benefits, for, in the words of the Bible, the man who does not care for his own house- hold is worse than an infidel. Mr. Stewart (Nev.) created amusement by declaring that the hair splitting and dis- tinctions between a revenue tariff and a protective tariff was all “tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum.” He had followed this sub- ject for thirty years and he did not under- stand this new language relating to the tariff. The Georgia senator (Bacon) was right, Mr. Stewart said, in seeing that his state should receive the same benefits as other sections. “What Are We Here Fort” “What are we here for?” asked Mr. Stew- art vehemently. The discussion had evidently aroused feeling among senators, and this was given expression soon after Mr. Caffery began speaking. He said the position of Mr. Bacon had been clearly exposed as one favorable to protection for interests of his own state, with revenue as a mere incident. “How about sugar?” inquired Mr. Bacon mockingly. Very deliberately Mr. Caffery answered: “Twice the senator declined to answer my questions, and now I decline peremptorily to yield.” “I accept that status between us,” an- swered Mr. Bacon. “You made the status yourself,” said Mr. Caffery. i “It is a very great deprivation,” con- tinued Mr. Bacon in mocking tones, “‘but I will endeavor to bear it with equanimity.” Mr. Caffery was soon interrupted with another inquiry as to , this time from Mr. McLaurin (8. C.) ie galleries were much amused and Mr. Caffery said: “I see that the bad precedent set by the senator from Massachusetts (Hoar) to put me in a hole, is being followed by my associates on this side of the chamber.” a “Before you are out of the hole,” inter- ted Mr. Hoar. ate Caffery went on to state that he was not in favor of free trade. He believed in a tariff on sugar asa revenue jpeasure, with any reductions which the ments of revenue would permit. because in the affirmative. It resulted yeas, 42; nays, 19. The republicans voted solidly for the amendment. Messrs. Allen, Butler, Cannoh, sans: capiniaies cies and the following favored it: Bacon, Clay, McEnery, Rawlins, Till- JOIN THE HRONGS * AYER@&&: S-A-L-E.

Kyle, populist, voted with the dem- ocrats against it. Paragraphs 226 to 228, inclusive (maca- roni oats and oatmeal) were agreed to as repcrted. When the rice paragraph (22) was reach- ed, Mr. Allen (Neb.) took occasion to speak sarcastically of the differences among dem- ocratic senators as to what constituted democratic doctrine. These senators, he said, should go into caucus and endeavor to arrange some line of action on which they could proceed together. Through this discussion the tendency on the demo- cratic side, he said, was to abandon the terets of democracy and «dont tne plan of every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost. Mr. Chilton (Tex.) said he agreed with the suggestion of the Nebraska senator that the democratic senators might well go into caucus and harmonize their vie but he suggested, too, that it was time also that the populistic party ought to go into caucus and settle their position. Pop- ulist senators were voting with the advo- cates of this bill and one populist senator ¥ as co-operating with the republican mem- bers of the finance committee. “Point him,’ demanded Mr. Allen. “Senator Jones of Nevada,” responded Mr. Chilton. Mr. Chilton went on to say other populist senators had votcd for committee amend- ments. The discussion branched off to an ex- change between Mr. Chilton and Mr. Al-1 len as to what party originated the silver issue, Mr. Chilton claiming that it was ar- rogant pretense for the populists to claim credit for making the issue of the present day as to silver. Mr. Stewart stated that he fully indorsed what his colleague, Mr. Jones of Nevada, had done on the tariff. as they were bot desirous of securing for their state t seme benefits other sections were recei Mr. Allison stated that the House rate on rice weuld be retained, but the para graph went over without final action. At 5:20 the Senate went into executive session and soon after adjourned. ———_e-____. PERFECTING THE PLANS, Young Men's Christ Preparing te Rebuild The Washington public was notified through the columns of The Star a week or 80 ago that the board of directors of the Young Men's Christian Association wera completing preparations for the propose: new home of the association. What these plans are in detail will be more fully made Known at a public meeting, which is to take place next Friday evening, June 11, at Foundry Church, This meeting Is to be in the nature of a rally, and besides the exposition of the plan for raising money for the new build- ing there are to be a number of add s by several of the pastors of local ch 8. It is expected that one of the mest impor- tant features of the meeting will be the lection of some of the members of the izens’ committee of one hundred. committee is to make up a list of nam of persons of liberality and means, addresses. and other = particulars amounts which may be exp also to conduct the special canvass for large subscriptions in such manner as it shall deem best suited to accomplish the desired results. With inis citizens’ committee cleus, there are to be oth such as that of the young people's socie- ties, Sabbath school committees, advisory committees of pastors and a woman's aux- iliary. While none of these committees are taking the definite shape the citizens’ com- mittee is, still lists of suitable persons are being made, and it is expected It will not be long before the entire extensive organ- ization will be in working erder. Several subscriptions have been received since the last published account, among others one from Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Alexander Mackay- Smith, bringing the total amount of sub- scriptions up to $25,000. It is expected the plans for the new build- ing will be ready in about a month, and when the aggregate of $0,000 is secured the work of building will commence. At the conclusion ef the Friday evening meet- ing the ladies of the association are to en- tertain those present. General Secretary Multer has received a letter, stating that those members of the Y. M. C.
