A RARE SHOE OPPORTUNITY-- $5 & $6 Custom-made Boots Rust $3.85 It's a rare occasion that'll bring such a shoe stock to you at anything like the price. A slight misjudgment on our part forces us to sacrifice some of the finest shoes in the house—that means the finest shoes that can be made. Not shoes “worth” $5 and $6—they're worth more—but shoes we sold for $5 and $6. Four styles, in the most comprehensive range of sizes. 2button, 2 lace shoes—plain toe, tip of same and patent tips. Some cork sole shoes—not made with cork scraps, but with solid sheets of cork. Some kid-ined thronghout—all finished right up to the top notch of shoe excellence. Skirt stays up hacks, like all custom-made shoes. They’re_ the finest of hand-made boots—and it takes only $3.85 to buy them. Shoes with dull tops and bright foxing —shoes of all bright leather. A choice choice for every one. = ‘ ‘a $ 3 $ z z Pe F St. Cor. 13th. St. = = ° SPORE ROOS RHODE REOOEOIEES: ! Resenting Criticisms bee. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In last Monday ue of The Star you published an interview with a prominent aval officer in which he gave his opinion of the cause of the disaster to the Maine. Had this remarkable interview been pub- lished in any other paper I would doubt its authenticity, as it is hard to believe that an officer of our navy should have so far | forgotten himself as to cast reflections upon ; & brother officer who is laboring under the | greatest affliction that could come to one in his position. 1 sincerely hope that our havy possesses but few, if any, such promi- nent officers. It would seem to a civilian that naval officers, as well as the general public, would do well to heed the request mtained in Captain Sigsbee's first report the tragedy, i. e., “request suspension of public opinion magine this hero, who had just been blown out of his ship, with d and wounded ail about him, and every ne frenzied from horror and excitement, yet he remains cool and sublime, realizing in a moment what will happen at home s_ould of Capt.

Yet this cast reflections upon his “fris and the discipline of his ship. One can afford to laugh when such statements are made by the English ne papers or the naval attache of the Spanish legation. but when one of our own officers expresses this sentiment it is time for the American people to resent such slurs. This gentleman telis us that the officers of the Majne had been warned of their danger “and therefore should have been on the alert to guard against floating torpedoes or sub- , marine mines. but’ fails to say just how their explosion could have been prevented. Is it to be presumed that the Maine would have her torpedo néts out in a friendly port if they had been in position, would they have protected the ship from ‘sub- marine mines? Supposing the nets were not out, the torpedo did not necessarily float down upon the ship on the surface, where it could have been seen, it could have done its deadly work just as well if it was set to run under the water.

The feeling about Congress is that the administration now fears that a rupture with Spain cannot be avoided. The con- vietion is being forced upon the admin- istration, as it has already been upon most of the men in Congress and upon a con- siderable proportion of the public, that the destruction of the Maine was a de- sign. Suspictons of official connivance are now finding expression. The history of the Cuban rebellion, with all its barbarities, is pointed to as warranting such suspicion, and it is strengthened by the evidert diffi- culty of such an outrage being committed without connivance. It is suggested as a significant thing that none of the Span- ish officials have denied that there were and are mines in the Havana harbor. It is a fact within the knowledge of the Spanish officials whether there are mines in the harbor, but, as far as is known, they have been silent’ on the subject and have not ventured any assurrance even that there was ‘not a mine within the anchorage of the Maine. ‘The number of faise reports that have been set in circulation, instead of increas- ing excitement, have contributed to induce a reservation of opinion. Out of so many reports proven to be false, it is impossible to determine just what to believe, and to avoid hasty judgment, based on false- hood, the disposition in Congress is to await official information. If the general- ity of reports circulated were reasonably accurate there would not be this disposi- tion to practice’ patience and self-restraint. Administration Attitude. The attitude of the administration is get- ting to be pretty well understood among the more substantial men in Congress. It is known that the President would endure much before taking steps that would lead to war. It is known that the President and the Secretary of the Navy adopted the accident theory in the hope that it would be sustained and with the intention of quieting public sentiment. There is also a general understanding that the admin- istration has been reluctantly losing con- fidence in this theory and does not now feel that peace is as secure as it hoped to make it. It is believed that now reli- ance is being placed, not so much upon the expectation that the explosion will be proven to have been accidental, as upon the hope that it will not be shown that the Spanish government was responsible for the horror and that it will make such a disavowal as will render it possible for war to be avoided. This is borne out by the fact those who, in the interest of peace, have been holding to the accident theory strongly are now qualifying this with the argument that even if the explosion was McKinley will do all in his power honor- ably to avoid war. This qualification, In the dim light of ac- cumulated evidence, is regarded as signiti- cant of the growing ity of the situa- tion. It is interpreted as meaning that the accident theory will soon have to be aban- @oned altogether. If it comes to this, it is understood that the administration wiil still endeavor to preserve peace, but it is recog- nized that this will be difficult, not only on account of the public indignation that will be felt in this country, but because it is possible that Spain may not on her part do what would be necesssary to make peace possible. It is felt that the Spanish senti- ment is not reassuring, and that if Spain is restrained from assuming an intolerable at- titude it will be only through the exercise of foreign influences which will be desirous of preserving peace. The one thing re- garded as beyond question is that President McKinley will do all in his power to avoid war. ‘The expressions of sympathy emanating officially from Spain make no impression as evidence of friendly feeling. No less might be expected even if the worst pogsi- ble constfuction that could be put upon the destruction of the Maine were found to be warranted. Such expressions do not neces- sarily mean anything. Ss * for National Defense. The administration is taking as effective steps as possible for national defense, with- cut startling the country by a direct appeal to Congress for emergency appropriations. All defense work and preparation for possi- ble hostility are being pressed as rapidiy as possible. The significance of this is that the danger of war is recognized, not that war is regarded as inevitable. For more than a year precautionary preparations have been in progress, but now, as the dan- ger appears more imminent, greater haste is being urged. The feeling inspiring all thts activity is an apprehension that all efforts to avoid war may fail, not that the hope of peace is abandonedvor is to be abandoned, except in the last extremity. The statement in dispatches from Havana that General Lee has suggested to Ameri- cans that they should not remain in Ha- vana if it is not necessary for them to do so, is regarded as probably true. The sug- gestion, however, may have been made for the purpose of avoiding, as far as possible, the danger of conflict between the Spanish people of the street and Americans hanging idly about, rather than on account of any feeling of certainty on the part of General Lee that there is to be war. The whole of it is that the situation is strained almost as much as possible, and no relief of the pressure is in immediate Prospect. The question is how long this can con- tinue and how much greater pressure can be stood without a rupture. If American sentiment alone had to be considered, it is believed that the President would be con- fident of his ability to preserve peace, but the Spanish temper has to be taken into ac- count. , TELEPHONE CASE.

Amendment of “Founders” Settled. Shortly after the congress assembled at the afternzon session yesterday the amend- ment ‘propos2d by Mrs. Fendall, which had been omitted from the amendment list dis- tributed before the congress was called, was brought to the attention of the assem- blage. Ia the m2antime a motion was made thai all seats on the lower flocr which shall be vacant half an hour after the opening of the ogress be occupied by the delegates whose s2ats were in the rear of the house. This was carried amid considerable confusion. The first amendment was to the effect that the office of surg2on general be abol- ished, and this passed. The next amend- ment created something of a fight. This provided that a reduction in the number of delegates should be mad2, one only being sent for every hundred members in tie chapter. In case of small chapiers Laving less than 100 members, it was proviled that two might combin> and send a delegate. To this amendment a substitut2 was offered by the state regents, providing that each and every chapter of the organization in the entire country should be repr2sented by the chapter regent or her alternate, and that delegates should be sent to the conti- nental congrss at a ratio of one for every 100 members in the chapters, whose dues sould be paid up for the year prior. Mrs. Wile of Chicago asked tha: the sub- stitute to the amendment to allow each chapter rspresentation, and to reduce the delegates to one for every one hundred, be divided, in order that the congress may vote more intelligently. The motion was carrisd. The second part, cailing for a delegate for each and every one hundred memters in the chapter was next acted upon. Status The Substitute Adopted. The whole substitute was finally adopted. It provides that 2very chapter of the er- ganization shall be fépréented ‘n the con- tinental congress by*its‘regent or her al- ternaic. It also proyides, that a delegate shall be 2lected from every chapter having fifty members in good standing. If the chapter numbers one hundred there shall still be but one delegateswAbove this num- ber there shail b2 but tone delegate for hundredse membezs additional. There shall be an adterakte for every re- gent and delzgate. 19 2 The amendment cfferedsby Miss Forsyth of New York was adspted. Mrs. Feadall’s amendment was next taken up. It was ihat proposéd amendment to the constitution map: be pr2sented at ary continental congresd;) aa acted apon at the next congress, ‘the-full power to amend being Invested n the continzatat congress. Quenttpn “of Hedais, ‘The fight of the, congr2ss took place at the night session, It wag over the ques- tion of medals forthe founders of the so- ciety, of which there was a story in yester- day’s Star. Instead of being four e2gi2s on four medals, there will be four medais with three eagles. Those who received the fcunders’ medals ar> Miss Desha, Miss Washington and Mrs. Walworth. Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood will receive a more dis- uinctive medal. It will have three eagles on %t and a pen, with the word “Service” across the front. After gr2at discussion it was decided that on three of the medals the topmost eagle be removed and the shield of the United States be substituted. The 2agle should be removed from the top of the fourth medal and an engraved pen inserted, and instead of the word “Founder” the word “Servica” should be substituted. Mrs. Lockwood Yields. Mrs. Lockwood said: “When I was honored by being named for one of the medals in question, the ac- tion was taken by my friends among the delegates and without invitation or solici- tation from me. Since I took up my pen in behalf cf the movement to organize this society I have not laid it down for a day. If to be a ‘founder’ means that it Was necessary to be at an office meeting, I was not there. I commenced work for the society long before. And I have con- tiued to work long and faithfully ever since. For all of this I have never asked recognition or compensation. All that I have received f1cm my friends has come unasked. “I am perfectly in accord with the last report submitted by the committee. If my acceptance will relieve the committee of an uapleasant task I readily accept it. I am willing to forsake anything for the sake of peace. I love the eagle and would like to have one on my medal, but I can go on through life content with the kuowl- edge that the eagle is the emblem of my country. Any old bird will do me,” said Mrs. Lockwood, laughingly, and the entire audience joined in. “I would prefer the dove, however. In conclusion I will say that I am entirety content to leave myself in the hands of this congress.” Mrs. Lockwood was heartily applauded, and was the recipient of a handsome bou- quet of lilies of the valley. Fight Continues. The fight on Mrs. Lockwood did not cease here. A motion was made to abolish the American Monthly Magasine, of which she is editor. A motion was finally made, after great uproar, to lay the motion to abolish the magazine on the table, which commending the CHOICE OF OFFICERS) * ENOUGH SAID’ - Seek No Further.

MARY WALKER'S PLEA Appeals to Court for a “Stay” on the United States Senate. She Speaks as One of the Sovereign People Against the Annexa- tion of Hawa! A stir of interest was caused today in Equity Court No. 1 by the appearance of Dr. Mary Walker. Awaiting a favorable orportunity she advanced to the front eid, addressing Judge Cox, read the fol- lowing: “As ene of the sovereign people of these United States, I most respectfully ask to have a stay on the Unit States Senaie regarding the Hawaiian anrexation for the purpose of having verbal sworn testimony taken before the committee on foreign re- lations, or before the committee of the whole. “I most respectfully set forth to your henor that, as one of the savereign people, I have a right to ask that illegal acts by the Senate of the United States be stayed. since said Senate is proceeding without verbal sworn testimony, and has refused, in a previous sitting, to hear a deposed queen, whese relations with the United States Senate were ‘peaceable, and who was unconstitutionally deposed by United States citizens and the United States man- of-war named the Boston. “The United Stat>s Senate, which is call- ed the highest court below the Supreme Court of the United States, should, accord- ing to the usages of just bodies, hear verbal sworn testimony wher? aggrieved Parties are in jeopardy in person and prop- erty, and where so grave a subject as the ennexation of mid-ocean territory, against the express:d wishes of the owners there- of, are concerned, and also against the large petitions of American sovereign people.

Clarke, and allow him to make an argument,” replied Dr. Walker. “Had the United States Senate heard testi- mony from the ex-queen and others, we would not now be in trouble regarding Cu- ba; In fact, trouble about Cuba would not have begun.” “But what do you want me to decide,” Judge Cox wanted to know. “I want you to deliver an opinion,” sald Dr. Walker, “‘whether you nave jurisdiction to stay the Senate in this maiter.” “I can decide that at once,” the court = answer. “I have not the jurisdic- ‘Well, I appeal,” then said Dr. Walker. a right,” remarked Judge Cox, with a smile.
