SOME OF THEM NOTED Soe eS His royal “highness, the Prince of Wales, fair and exposition, to be heJd at Conven- April 11, and he regrets it just as much Probably as the promoters of the enter- prince, knows that all the pretty girls and sist at the fair. Mr. Thomas P. Morgan, chairman of the comittee on invitations. who sent the prince an invitation to at- tend the event, received yesterday a let- ter from E. Setepworth, grand secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England, of which the Prince of Wales is the most worshipful grand master. It was written at Freemasons’ Hall, Great Queen street, London, E. C., and dated March 23, 1808, and read as follows: “I am desired by his royal highness, the most worshipful grand master, to ac- knowledge the receipt @f your communica- tion of the 26th February last, and to ask you to be so good as to convey to the premoters of the national Masonic fair exposition his royal highness’ thanks, both for the kind and courteous invitation to the inauguration of the enterprise, and for the fraternal greetings and good wishes expressed in your letter. = “His royal highness regrets that his ar- |. rangements do not admit of his having the pieasure of accepting the invitation.” The absence of such an attraction as Wales would have been will not be noticed at the fair and exposition, however, be- ceuse there will be enough novelties and features to satisfy the most exacting de- mands. Every booth will be simply sur- charged with such things. Lodges, chap- ters and commanderies are active and en- ergetic in preparing surprises, and the ecmbined effect cannot fail to be startling. Work of National Lodge No. 12. The last meeting of the ladies’ committee of National Lodge, No. 12, which will have @ fine booth, held at the resi- dence of the Misses Hurdle, 914 East Capi- tol street, Tuesday evening, was largely attended.

Senate Greatly Divided Lodge's Project. The proposed purchase of the Danish West Indies by this cousitry "occupied the attention of the Serate duting most of its session yesterday afternogn. ,.The session was closed by the practical withdrawal of the resolution by Senator Lodge, its author. Senator Lodge stated that tHe debate had developed such a wide difference of opinion in the Senate, where there had heretofore been such unanimity, that he would not further press the matter ‘at & time when the President needed the sipport of all senators of all parties. Hé méved that the Senate proceed to the “waged of ex- on Mr. ecutive business, thus volintarily for the time abandonirg the resolutioh, This action cn the part of Senator Lodge was preceded by an animated debate, in which many sharp words ;were exchanged over the policy of bringing in a proposition liable to divide the Senate at a time when unanimity was especially desirable’ gnd when all parties had shown ® disposition to give their uttermost support to the admin- istration in preparation for the. war which almost all the speakers considered prob- able. Senator Pettigrew sald he was willing to support the administration in all reason- able and just measures in preparation for what appeared an inevitable war, but that did not intend to be induced to give his adherence to a measure that did not appedl to his own judgment. The islands were, he said, fully 1,500 miles from our own coast, and to attempt to acquire them now would be in violation of our policy of not annexing territory which is not contiguous. Senator Lodge said he had calied upon the President with reference to the pur- chase of the islands, and that not only he but the naval officials, had concurred in the opinion that their possession would be of inestimable value in case of hostilities in the West Indies. Senators Perkins and Elkins, both re- publicans, attacked the purchase proposi- tion as unwise in that {t was liable to in- volve us in extra expense and unnecessary entanglement. Senator Teller stated that ordinarily he would favor ennexation, but criticised the { thelr return home. + tt -----Cheap beer, like cheap baking powder and cheap soap, requires a gift to sell it.

Senator Bacon of Georgia spoke against the resolution, saying that for present or immediate war purposes they wouid be use- less, and that they could be acquired, if wanted, at some future time. Senator Mason was among the supporters of the resolution, on the ground] that he was willing to aid the administration in any way deemed necessary for the success- ful prosecution of a war with Spain. Se SS SS Entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Fowler. Tuesday evening of this week the “de- gree staff’ of the United Order of the Golden Cross of the District of Columbia was given an at home by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. A. Fowler, at their residence, 702 G street northeast. The feature of the even- ing was an exhibition by those present of their artistic skill, each one having to rep- resent a familiar plece of music by a draw- ing. The first prize was awarded to Mrs. Fanny Wood of National Commandery, it being a set of handsome pictures executed on satin. The booby prize of five packages af chewing gum was won hy Miss M. Nel- son of Golden Commandery. ‘The company was entertained by Dr. Bradley and his graphophone, also by sev- eral piano solos by Miss Emma Bishop and Miss Lena Fowler, a vocal solo by Mr. J. B. Handy and an original poem, en- titled “Don’t Worry,” by Mrs. E. F, Hug- gins. Grand Commander Fiegenbaum made seme pleasing remarks, after which the guests retired to the dining room, where refreshments were served. The table and room were decorated with cut flowers and potted plants. Among those present were G. C. A. H. Fiegenbaum, Mrs, Fanny Wood, Mrs. L. tet ERLE EET ATTA EEE THE NATIONAL FINANCE: NAVAL BILL PASSED. Receipts and Eaxpenditores for March —The Public Debt. The comparative statement of the gov- ernment receipts and expenditures during March shows that the total receipts were $82,958.750, a loss of about $3,000,000 compared with March, 1897. The expendi- tures during March aggregated $31,882,444, an increase of nearly $5,000,000 over March, 1897. This increase is largely due to ex- penfitures under the recent appropria- tion for the national defense. ‘The customs during the month wére over $7,000,000 less than March a year ago. which were then abnormally heavy on ac- ccunt of the pending tariff act. The re- ceipts from internal revenue increased last month about $1,000,000. ‘The statement of the public debt, issued tcday, shows that the debt at the close of business March less cash in the treasury, was $1,008,716,351, a decrease for the month of $1,387,865. The debt is re- capitulated follows: Interest-bearing debt, $847,366,680; debt on which interest has ceased since maturity, $1,327,670; debt bearing no interest, $386,974,069, making a total of $1,225,668, This, however, does not include $585,252.088 in certificates and treasury rotes outstanding, which are off- set by an equal amount of cash in the treasury. The cash in the treasury is classified as follows: Gold, $210,903,334; silver, $512,422,- 534; paper, $97,818,224; bonds, disbursing officers’ balances, etc., $#2,644,274, making a total of $853,798,468, against which there are demand liabilities outstanding amount- ing to $627,631,525, leaving a net cash bal- ance of $226,1 ‘ of the Mondny. The House of Representatives passed the naval appropriation bill yesterday and ad- journed until Monday. The provision relat- ing to armor plate was disposed of in ten minutes, a proposition to decrease the price agreed to in the bill from $400 to $300 per ton being lost. Mr. Cannon during the course of the day announced the belief of a majority of the members that war would be upon us within a week, and Mr. De Armond of Missouri made a notable speech declaring that if hostilities were to come it was our duty to strike the first blow. Mr. De Armond (Mo.) at this juneture got the floor, with a speech that attracted much attention. He called upon the ad- ministration to take the aggressive. He de- clared that we should strike while we had the advantage. War between nations was not like a contest between equally matched gladiators. The victory belonged in war to the country that best and first prepared for it and seeing farthest into the future struck first where the blow would prove most ef- fective. After several hours of wrangling, during which all sorts of amendments were offered and voted down and many speeches were made, the vote was taken upon the Cannon substitute to reduce the number of battle ships to one and to increase the torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers to twelve ofeach. It was defeated--78 to 124. Mr. Underwood (Ala.) offered an amend- ment appropriafing $4,000,000 for the estab- lishment of a government armor plate fac- tory. The amendment was ruled out on a point of order. This completed the bili, which was re- Adjournment House Until as ported to the House and pas . Then, at Se A.
