The opening of tke St.. Aloysius Church lawn fete and garden.party.on the cam- pus adjoining Gonzaga College, last even- ing, was a notable event in the history of the parish. The garden party is given in aid of the boys’ school and is under the management of the St. Aloysius Church members. From the interest that was taken in the affair last night and the crowd which came. early;and stayed until the end, buying everything that was for sale and patronizing liberally all the star attractions, it is likely that the full amount required.for the school will be raised. The doors were thrown open at 8 o'clock, and from that time until 11 o'clock, when the lights went out, a steady stream of people poured in and out of the gate. It is estimated that fully 1,500 persons patron- ized the fete. There have been a number of affairs of similar character given on the Gonzaga College campus, but in all probability the present one eclipses all its predecessors in attendance, in point of attractions, and in the number of the prefty girls all cager and waiting for the prospective customef. The special features had been prepared under the direction of Mr. J. Kummer, who has had much to do with the success of past fetes, and when the attractions are all in running order, the two acres of ground making up the campus will be transformed into a regular excursion re- sort, with all of the objectionable features removed. ‘The booths are artistically decorated and form in themselvee one of the prettiest items in thé decorative scheme. Of course there are all kinds of booths, from the little peanut, stand to the large tables where all sorts of articles are for sale, ahd they are all presided over by pretty young ladies clad in the most fetching of © cos- tumes. Multicolored lights give every- thing a holiday appearance, and add not a little to the general effectiveness. There are other decorations, but they all blend in so well that no special one stands out conspicuous from the rest. Probably the best patronized feature jast night was the dancing pavilion, and although it is sixty feet long and sixty feet wide, it was crowded at all times enough to rake dancing uncomfortable. An orchestra was in attendance last night and will be ‘found there every night until the close of. the ee aetiies aA The merry-go-round, of course, recelv its share of attentien. Close by it will be located a regularly-appointed circus, where exhibitions of trained horses, dogs, par- rots, pigeons and other animals and fowls may be witnessed for a nominal sum. An exhibition of the projectoscope will be given each evening in Gonzaga Hall, and the hall is so arranged that, in the event of rain, the crowd in attendance upon the fete may go inside the Structure, where an entertainment will be provided. An- other delightful feature is, the Goi Band of sixty pieces, in’ attendance last night, and which wif cohtinue to be ohe of the leading attractions: There will be spectaittes for each night, such as balloon ns, tight-rope walking and kindre ibitions, while a number of the civil, military ongani- zations of the city Gisit the fete at some time during its run. Among these are the Emmet Guard, tae Catholic Knights, the Knights, of St. John, the Mount Pleasant Drum Corps, and others. ee Fined Fifteen ollars. William G.

B. deGuerville of New York, who has been traveling in Morocco, has written a letter to State Treasurer A. B. Colvin of New Yerk, making serious charges against ex-consuls of the United States in Morocco, and urging the retention of Con- sul General Burke at Tangier. In his letter he says: “Patriotic as you are, you are undoubted- ly anxious that our flag be respected wher- ever it has been raised, no matter whether it is in a small or a large country. Unfor- tunately erough we gained a very bad reputation as a nation in Morocco through the dishonest dealings of consuls general who preceded Mr. Burke. “Morocco, like all countries where we have consular courts, is in many ways much more important as far as representa- tion goes than even England, France or Germany. In the last-named countries the consul general is, after all, but an otticial commercial agent and any good business man can fill the place. In semi-civilizeda countries, however, the consul is often ‘diplomatic agent,’ and always a ‘judge, who must decide all the questions coming before the consular court. It is necessary that the man should have, not only the knowledge of our laws, but also be ac- quainted with international laws and the laws of the country to which he is ac- credited. In order to act fairly he must also understand the people among whom he is living. All this cannot be learned in one day, and all persons acquainted with such countries know how much we hurt our interests abroad by continually chang- ing our censuls. “For several years the consulate general at Tangier has been the source of enormous revenues to dishonest consuls, who: “First—Appointed or recommended for ap- pointment as vice consuls to other Moorish cities undesirable men willing to pay trom $200 to $1,009 for the position. “Second—Accepted large bribes in order to decide a case in favor of the briber. “Third—Scld to rich Jewish and other merchants the official cards which the gov- ernment of Morocco gives to fcreign con- suls, and which are permits for goods to pass the custom house without being ex- amined or paying duties. You can easily imagine what large ‘importers’ would pay for cards giving such a privilege. “Rifies, guns and pistols cannot be im- ported into Morocco except by the govern- ment, and are therefore very expensive. ‘The wife of our late consul there brought over as personal baggage large cases of firearms, which her husband sold for their weight in gold. Matters ie SO scan- dalous that the Moorish government re- quested Mr. Cleveland to recall his repre- sentative. It was then that Mr. Burke, who was consul at Malaga, Spain, was proceed at cnce to Tangier, to take charge of the consulate general. "He is a man of great experience, having been a consul in Spain and in South America under republican and democratic adminis- trations, and he has succeeded in arrang- ing matters to the satisfaction of all, gain- ing the respect, confidence and admiration of the Moorish government, the hatives and the foreign residents. But he has been there only a few months, and the work of pnaieacing our patcost honor must be con- Us y @ man-who thoroughly under- stands the situation.” es Some ———+e+—___ Accident on the Puritan.

'T DISCREDITED, No News of Trouble Between Sailors and Japanene. The latest advices of the Navy Depart- ment fom the Asiatic station make no mention of any trouble such as reported from Victoria between the sailors of the Yorktown and Boston with the Japanese at Kobe. and for that roacon the officials at the department attach no impcrtance to the rmyport. It is the practice of commanders of United States warships to offer a reward for the capture of deserters from their ships: in foreign ports, and it is surmised that if any of our sailors have been roughly handled it may have been some descriers who were captured by the local authorities for the reward. A recently published story of the ill treatment of United States sailors in Honolulu turns out to nave exactly this fact for a foundacion. Some dexeriers were captured by the local police, and as they resisted it was necessary to tle them up and deliver them ‘n this shape aboard ship. The naval officers say that there is hardly any record of treatment of American sailors in Japanese ports. ————_—_+2e.___ Rearets Did Net Save Him. Marshall C.
