Special Correspondence of The Bveniag Star. ST. GEORGS'S ISLAND, July 30, 1897. About ninety miles down the Potomac, not far distant from historic St. Mary’s, is sit- vated St. George’s Island, more familiarly known to the river men as dams." Here when the cities are almost intolerable on agcount of the heat. may be found many ef the prominent people of Washington, Baltimore and Alexandria. July and Au- gust seem t? be the favorite months at this little retreat. Sailing is probably the favorite amusement, and almost every pleasant afte:ncon three or four boats are chartered and a run to Piney Point or Point Lokout, with a race back before the wind, results in burned hands and noses. In the evening the “Bessie,” In charge of one of the Adams brcthers, receives a boatload of ladies and gentlemen and un- der the mvon end stars a delightful hour or more is enjoyed. Dancing follows In the hall by those who prefer, while many others seek a cocl and quiet evening in the little pavilions or “play hands” in dark corners of the piazzas. Wednesday evening the larg dining hall was cleared and a cake-walk was given by the employes of the hotel. A boat race is hooked for tomorrow, In which all the smail crafts of the vicinity are at llberiy to enter, and if ggod wishes bave any weight in winning yacht races, the “Bessie” will easily distance the rest of Fer field. The follcwing names of Weshingtonians appear on the register at this date: A. C. West and wife, Wm. H. Bell and wife, Miss Flora Bell, Mrs. W. H. Birch. Mrs. Knight, Mrs. H. A. Campbell, Miss E. E.

Ss BUSINESS MEN ORGANIZE. Washington Division of Travelers’ Protective Associntion Formed. Temporary organization of a division of the Travelers’ Protective Association was formed at the Metropolitan Hotel last evening by National President of the Asso- ciation Joseph Wallerstein of Richmond, Va. Owing to the fact that’many of the men expected to be present were out of town, only temporary organization was ef- fected, as it is required that at least twenty-five be present for the regular formation of a division. It was stated last night, however, that more than the requi- site number had signified their intention of becoming members, and would do so at the next meeting. A division is made of several posts, but as there can be but one for the District, it was deemed best to make it a division at the start. After the objects of the association had been fully explained by President Waller- stein, the views of those present were heard, and it was the unanimous opinion that Washington's trade would be greatly benefited by the organization here of a post or division of the association. The objects of the association are: First, to secure the repeal of all muni- cipal, county, state or territorial laws im- posing or enforcing a license tax on com- mercial travelers; second, to secure recog- nitiohs from railroads, and obtain as fa vorable terms on transportation and bag- gage as are given to any other class of travelers, and to adjust all differences be- tween railroads and commercial travelers on a fair, equitable business basis; third, to secure hotel accommodations commen- surate with price paid; fourth, to elevate the social and moral character of commer- cial travelers as a profession, and to bring about the better acquaintance of members; fifth, to provide a benefit fund in case of death by accident or injury by accident; sixth, to secure business connections for unemployed members. Any white person of good moral char- acter, not under the age of eighteen years or over sixty years, engaged as a commer- cial traveler, as buyer or seller for whole- sale or commission house or manufacturer, or any wholesale dealer, importer, com- mission merchant or manufacturer, is ell- gible to membership in the association. The dues are $10 a year, with $2 initiation fee. The sum of $5,000 is paid the family of a member in case of death by accident, and $25 a week to each member during sickness. Isaac Gans of Lansburgh & Bros.’s estab- ishment was elected temporary president, and R. P. Andrews of R. P. Andrews & Co. temporary secretary. A committee was appointed to call upon eligibles and ask them to become members of the asso- ciation. This committee was composed of R. P. Andrews, C. B. Fonda and J. W. Somerville. A meeting will be called when twenty- five names have been secured, and perma- nent oxganization will be effected. It {s thought that the association will be of great help to Washington business men in many ways, but particularly in the mat- ter of freight rates on railroad and steam- boat. lines. —_——. THE FOURTH IN VE EZUELA. An Interesting Observance of the Day in Caracas, From the Venezuelan Herald, July 10. The Fourth of July did not pass unob- served at Caracas. The national holiday of Independence was patriotically celebra- ted by the American colony. Many Ameri- can flags were draped across the windows and balconies and many were the button holes adorned with the stars and stripes. In the absence of the American minister the charge d'affaires, Mr. W. U. Russell, opened the doors of his hospitable domicile, where a most cordial reception was held. The visitors seemed more numerous than the previous year, due perhaps to the pro- verbial amiability of the host. A buffet bountifully provided with viands and wines encouraged the toasting to Un- cle Sam, who will surely live to a ripe old age if quantity and quality of toasts count for aught. Among those present msy be mentioned; Doctor P. Ezequiel Rojas, minister of foreign affairs, and members of diplomatic corps as follows: Don Antonio de Castro y Casaleiz, Span- ish minister; Jose de Almeida e Vascon- cellos, Brazilian minister; Senor Juan Pablo Riva, Italian minister; Senor A. von Prollius, charge 4’affairs of Germany; Senor Ismael Enrique Arciniegas, secre- tary of the Colombian legation; Senor Al- fredo de Barros Moreira, secretary of the Brazilian legation; Mr. Fredk. de Sola, United States consular agent at Caracas; Mr. Edward de Sola, Mr. Elias de Sola, Mr. Francisco de Sola, Mr. Heinke, La Guayra and Caracas railroad; Mr. Lurier, Mr. Purdie, Mr. Vandeventer, Mr. Krouse, Mr. Sherwood, Mr. Juan Guisseppe Mona- gas, the representative of the Venezuelan Herald, and many others, whose names we have been unable to obtain. REPUBLIC OF CENTRAL AMERICA, New Union by the Combination of Five States.

The union is named the Republic of Central America, and the countries forming it will now take the names of states. Last year, when the re- publics of Honduras, Nicaragua and Salva- dor formed themselves into the “Greater provision was made for the admission of Guatemala and Costa Rica, which has now been ac- complished. The treaty is similar to that mude last year, except that its provisions are extended and considerable legislation is enacted in it for the government of the new republic.

The leaders of the striking min- ers made little headway in getting out the men who remained at work in the West Virginia coal region and in De Armitt’s mines in the Pittsburg district; no serious collisions occurred between thé strikers and | uniformity plan | mine owners; the true was adopted at a meeting of the operators at Pittsburg and a committee’ appointed to secure the signatures of % per cent of the ° e ect.

Japan agreed to arbitrate the existing differences with Hawaii. In an interview in Paris Marquis Ito of Japan declared that Japan’s Protest regarding the annexation of Ha- wali was merely a formal diplomatic meas- ure, and scouted the idea that it meant war with the United States if annexation was carried out. Mr. George N. Curzon, under secretary for foreign affairs, repiy- ing to a question in the house of commons, said the Clayton-Bulwer treaty contains no agreement affecting Hawail. British troops in the Chitral were attacked by native tribesmen and serious fighting followed, with considerable Joss to both sides.

Ambassador White is just now giving close attention to a matter which promises to involve some diplomatic complications. It is the case of Alfred Wessling, son of a raturalized American citizen, Charles Wessling, of New York. Young Wessling, while visiting Germany last spring, was drafted into the German arzhy. He pro- tested and proved that he had made a fermal declaration of his intention to be- come a citizen of the United States, al- theugh his naturalization had not been perfected. His protest was absolutely ignored, and he was enrolled in the Seventy-fourth Regiment, stationed in Hanover. Recently, for the petty offense of chaffing, he was struck a Violent blow by his sergeant. En- raged at the injustice, young Wessling felled his tormentor to the ground and fled. Late at night he reached the United States consulate in the city of Hanover, ccmpletely fagged out and half starved. United States Consul Crane persuaded him to surrender to the authorities and he is now awaiting trial on a charge of as- saulting his superior. ‘This offense is punishable in war time by summary execution after court-martial, and in time of peace by several years’ im- prisonment. Ambassador White is endeavoring to se- cure his release. ——_+0+—___ Southern Maryland Fair. Special Correspondence of The Evenlig Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., July 30, 1997. The Southern Maryland Fair Association will hold its annual meeting on August 17, 18, 19 and 20. It is expected the display will exceed any of its former exhibitions. There have been several improvements made on buildings; a new poultry house thas been built, new tanks provided and the track thrown up and graded. Many ex- Ribitors have already sent in for their en- try cards, and, from this fact, it is ex- Ppeoted that the exhibits will be more nu- merous than heretofore. + Daisy.

Magruder be requested to ‘come for. ward and name his delegates to the ju- dicial convention was adopted, and Mr. Ma- gruder, in a short speech, thanking the convention for the honor, named the fol- lowing gentiemen to represent him: Jos. 8. Wilson of Marlboro’, Truman C. Slingluft of Queen Anne, W. B. H. Blandford of Surratts and Dent Downing of Aquasco. The ccnvention next proceeded to elect four delegates to the state convention in Baltimore, resulting in the choice of the following named gentlemen: Dr. Chas. A. Fox of weneplle, Wm. D. Barry of Pis- cataway, T. . Naylor of Aquasc Fred Sasscer of Marlboro’. eee ee The hot fight which has been on for some Weeks past between Messrs. C. C. Magru- der and Chas. H. Stanley for the judge- ship was quietly fixed up before the con- Yention met, as the Stanley men were largely in the minority and consequently gave Magruder a unanimous support. This fight has been looked upon by the promi- nent republican leaders with a good deal of interest, in view of a possible split, in which case it might result in the nomina- tion of a “dark horse,” who would be more easily beaten. With equal interest are the democrats looking at the fight between the Lowndes men and the Mudd men at Saturday's pri- mary meetings. It has been publicly stated by Gov. Lowndes’ lieutenants that if he is deteated in the convention he will declare vacant a number of positions in the state tobacco warehouse, which are now filled by persons trom this county and who are said to be Mudd’s representa- tives “and are working hard against the governor. Much indignation is felt by the Mudd men over the removals of James Naylor and Frank Duvall from their posi- Uons as inspectors of tobacco at Nos. 5 and state warehouses. SS Hotel Arrivals.
