At the meeting of the association held last night the preliminar- fes of the event were outlined and 2 com- _mittee was appointed to make all arrange- chents. It is composed of Col. R. I. Flem- ing, president; Jadge F. H. Mackey and Gen. LL. Lomax, vice presidents; Capt. Cc. C. Ivey, secretary; Capt. George H. Ingraham, financial secretary; Gen. M. C. Butler, Gen. Harry Heth, Gen. C. M. Shel- ley, Gen. M. J. Wright, Col. H. A. Herbert, Maj. R. W. Hunter, Maj. Hoimes Conrad, Leigh Robinson and John T. Callaghan. This committee was created in pursuance with resolutions unanimously adopted, which recited that “The Confederate Vet- €rans’ Association of the Disirict of Co- Ivmbia send greeting to their old friend and comrade, Fitzhugh Lee, upon the splendid success which has signalized his service as consul general of the United States at Havana. Accredited by the government to @ post of exceptional responsibility by rea- son of the strained relations between the United States and Spain incident to the Cuban struggle for independence, he had been so clear in his great office, so true to every duty, so faithful to every trust, so brave, so calm and wise, and masterful in the midst of labors the most difficult and circumstances the most appalling, all the while upholding with unshaken hand the honer of his country, as to peve won an party or section. In the plaudits his countrymen have so liberally and worthily bestowei upon him, and disclaimi veterans declared “that they couid not en- tirely suppress their gratification that it has fallen to the lot cf a southern solsier to exhibit upon a stage to which the eyes of all Christendom have been long turned with absorbing interest the noblest quali- ties of American manhood and citizenship, a fact which cannot fall to exert the hap- piest influence, demonstrating to the word that when the honor of our nation is in- volved there is no north, no south, no east or west, but a united countr. The resolutions concluded ‘with a not'fi- cation to Gen. Lee of the public reception at Confederate Veterans’ Hall at his ear! est convenience after his arrival in Was ington. ————— A Ferm Yard Scene at Ogram's.

[DUMM CREATES A FUROR Criticises the Methodist Protestant Church in The Conference in Baltimore Refuses to Allow the Paper to Be Read. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star, BALTIMORE, April 8.—Rev. B. Alfred Dumm, the future assistant pastor of the First Congregational Church, Washington, left the Maryland annual conference of the: Methodist Frotestant Church amid a whirl of excitement yesterday afternoon. During a lull in the routine proceedings with which the seventieth annual session of the body was dragging along he ob- tained the floor and commenced to read a prepared statement of his withdrawal from the conference and church. Before he had preceeded far there was a scene of the wildest €xcitement on the floor of the con- ference, and staid old members were in a tumult to resent his strictures upon the church they call their own. The statement to which they took especial exception was this: “I Jeave you, therefore, because of a thoroughly ripened conviction of a vital lack ia the Methodist Protestant Church to meet the needs of the world today. This lack I seem to find in the realm of method. Here the simplest principles often find in- tricate uses. A polity necessitates a pol- icy.” Then the storm of indignation broke about his head, an@ Rev. J. M. Gill in- dignantly moved that continuation of the reading of the paper be not allowed. An excited wrangle then ensued, while the cause of all the confusion stood coolly facing the wrought-up conference. Back of the members the general audience stood up in the pews the better to witness the scene. ev. Mr. Dumm asked for permission to make a statement before the vote was taken on the motion to shut off his expla- nation, but this was denied him. What he would have said would have been an ac- knowledgment of the cordial relations which have existed between him and the Baltimore ministers and a recognition of the loyalty and help of his congregation at Brooklyn, Anne Arundel county, where he has been stationed for two years. This statement was denied him, as was the formal declaration of his withdrawal from the church and conference. After the vote decidirg against him, Rev. Mr. Dumm pushed his way through the crowd- ed aisle and left Lafayette Avenue Church, where the conference is in session. The cnly member of conference who openly defended him and moved that he be allowed to make his statement was Kev. J. Wm. Kirk, pastor of the Conference Church. Rev. L. R. Dyott wanted permis- sion for the statement to be made through the faculty of instruction, but this was de- clared out of order. As only the declaration was read, and no formal request was made for withdrawal, President Melvin decided a motion out of crder granting the request, although the members irdignantly demanded summary action upon this. The true inwardness of the opposition to Mr. Dumm is said zo be because he is a Yale man, and memters of conference say he is educated above a good pastor. He is a son of the late Rev. Wm. T. Dumm an old and respected member of conference, and is a nephew of Rev. Dr. L. W. Bates, one of the pillars of that body. Born in Maryland, Mr. Dumm was educated at Western Maryland College. He entered ccnference in 1889, and was given one of the small and arduous appointments on the eastern shore of Maryland. From this he went to take a theological course at Yale, and has since pursued his studies with a view to taking more important charges. It is charged by his friends thal he was purposely kept down and subordi- nated to less able men because of his ad- vance in learning. Since he was sent to Brooklyn Mr. Dumm has declined a call to the People’s Church of Kansas City, and also declined a pro- fessorship of biblical literature at Kensas City University. He has delivered courses of lectures on “Experimental Psychology” at St. John’s and Western Maryland col- lezes. Mr. Demm speaks enthusiastically of his work in Waskington, upon which he will enter next week. Routine business occupied the attention of conference before the storm arose whlch culminated in Mr. Dumm’s abrupt with- drawal. President Melvin tcld the minis- ters and laymen how he wanted them to Froceed in laying before him their wishes in the matter of appcintments. The routine work was resumed this morning. ——.__ INCREASE IN FREIGHTS, Showing Made by Car Service Asso- ciation for March, 1898, The report cf the Washington and Bal- timore Car Service Association for the past month shows that there has been a large increase in the amount of freight carried over lines in this vicinity, es com- pared with the corresponding month of last year. This Car Service Ascociation is composed of the Baltimore and Potomac, Baltimore and Ohio, Annapolis, Washing- ton and Baltimore, Pennsylvania, Northern Central, Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal- timore, Western Maryland, York Southern, Stewartstown, Cumberland Valley, Phila- delphia and Reading, Norfolk and West- ern, West Virginia Northern, West Vir- ginia Central, Cumberland and Pennsyl- vania, George’s Creek and Cumberland, West Virginia and Pittsburg, Baltimore and Ohto Southwestern, Ohio River, Mono- cacy Valley and Emmitsburg and Mount Alto railroad companies. The territory comprises about 600 stations in the District of Columbia, West Virginia, Maryland and the southern counties of Pennsylvania. The report states that the total number of cars handled during the month of March exceeded twenty per cent more than in the same month of 1897. For the past five months the business handled has been twenty per cent in excess of that of the corresponding months of last year. It is stated that several of the roads composing the association contemplate do- ing considerable in the way of railway construction. Those already under way are the followin, The West Virginia Central is extending its line eleven railes from Beverly to Hut- tonsville, and the West Virginia and Pitts- burg is said to contempiate extending its line Gown the Gauley river about sixteen miles beyond Camden; there is a line of railroad now being built along the Little Kanawha river from Parkersburg, forty miles of which are graded and twenty-five miles laid with rails. It is intended to make this line sixty-nine miles long. This will open up a coal and timber country. Work is also being dene on a line from Clarksburg to the Ohio river, also to go over to Belington via Buckhannon. This road will be about ninety miles long, and runs through a good coal and timber re- gion. There is also talk of a line from Union- town, on the Pennsylvania railroad, to Parsons, on the West Virginia Central. Surveyors are already at work on the line. —_>_—_. A Notable Success.

Contemplate a Home for the Aged and Infirm. The members of the Washington Ad. Writers’ Club and some of their fortunate friends dined last night at the Chelsea, on llth street, and after a delightful menu had been discussed, indulged in an inter- change of views on matters interesting to their professional pursuit, and incidentally the’ present crisis was considered, Mr. Tom ‘Wilkinson expressing the sentiments of the assemblage in a very happy manner. At the business meeting which followed Messrs. 8. Hart and J. P. Anderson were elected to membership, and resolutions were adopted to provide a home for aged ad. writers, and instructing the secretary to sound the various advertising organiza- tions throughout the country on the sub- ject. Se esciaere Kinnear was toastmaster at the dinner and chairman of the meeting. - See FEAST OF PASSOVER, Its Observance the Occasion for a . Patrietic Address. The passover or feast of unleavened bread, which begun Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock, is being observed by all orthodox Hebrews. The orthodox society will keep the feast for eight days. Their reformed brethren will observe it but seven days. During this time food that contains leaven In any form ts not permitted. The, usual bread is substituted by the flat cakes term- ed matzoth. The passover services were held by the Washington Hebrew Congregation yester- day morning at Carroll Institute Hall. A large number attended. The music was @ special feature of the services. Rabbi Stern delivered the discourse from the text, Le- viticus, 42d chapter, 25th verse—‘They are My servants, whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondmen.” The address was a most pa- triotic one. In referring to the text the rabbi said this was a message which Israel, through its redemption 3,000 years ago, had conveyed to the people of the earth. He said: “Nowhere was that message accepted as readily and heeded as fully and consistently as on this western continent, in this our blessed republic. Here more than anywhere else did the grand truth of our text become deeply rooted and firmly established that God’s children are His servants and not the servants of man, and that as such ‘they cannot be sold as bendmen.’ This noble truth sustained the pilgrim fathers when, fleeing from perse- cution, they sought refuge on this virgin soil. It strengthened, the hand of the fa- ther of our country, and of all the noble patriots who followed his lead in their he- roic struggle for freedom and independence. it inspired the framers of our matchless Constitution. It stirred the great heart of our martyr President, Abraham Lincoln, and the hearts of the hundreds of thous- ands who, obedient to his call, went forth to battle and die for the preservation of the Union and the cause of humanity, in order that millions of God’s children should enjoy their birthright and no longer be sold &s_bondmen.” The rabbi referred to the Cuban situation in stirring tones. The dream of the prophet and the hope of all lovers of humanity, he continued, was that war should cease be- tween nations. It did not appear to him, however, that the time has come yet. So Jong as the greed and selfishness of nations is greater than their sense of justice and humanity, so long will the consummation of that hope remain a fair dream. “Let us still hope and pray that Spain will yield and war be averted,” the rabbi said, “but come what may, with the help of God, Cuba wil! be free, and once more in the beautiful spring of the year, per- chance before the conclusion of this fes- tive week, commemorating the deliverance of our ancestors, the suffering, downtrod- den people will go forth ‘from bondage to freedom, from darkness to Nght.’ ” o ‘i The Greatest Easter Flower Display ever seen here, Masonic Halt, da. —Advertisement. epee —_.—___. DEFAULT IN INTEREST. Action Probable in Respect to B. and ©. Obligations. ; Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Co. have air nounced in financial circles that in view of the fact that the receivers of the Balti- more and Ohfo railroad have defaulted upon the interest on the 6 per cent gold bonds of the Parkersburg branch of that road, it may become necessary to take legal action for the purpose of enforcing the lien of the mortgage in case the de- fault continues, and they, therefore, invite all holders of such bonds to deposit the same with them under a bondholders’ agreement. It is also intimated that in case the default continues it may be neces- sery for the bondhoiders to reorganize the property. A member of the Baltimore reorganiza- tion committee of the Baltimore and Ohio 1s authority for the statement that the receivers of that company appear to have adopted a policy of general default on all bonds, and the payment of only the in- terest on the receivers’ certificates and upon car trust obligations. Continuing, he sald: “On the ist of March default was made on the sterling 6's of 1902, and this was followed April ] on the Parkersburg branch 6's and the Philadelphia division 4% per ccnts. At the latter date the Baltimore and Ohio Company had defaulted on the following bonds: “Loan of 1872, sterling 6's, interest due in March and September, the principal of which amounts to $9,680,000; loan of 1883, sterling 4% per. cents, Philadelphia division, interest due in April and October, prin- cipal, $11,616,000; loan of 1877, Parkersburg branch 6's, interest due April and October, principal, $3,000,000; loan of 1876, sterling 6's, Pittsburg and Connellsville division, in- terest due January and July, principal, $6,648,224; loan of 1885, Pittsburg and Con- nelisville 6 per cents, interest due February and August, principal, $10,000,000; Balti- more Belt railroad 6 per cents, interest due May and November, principal, $6,000,- 00, making a grand total of $46,044,224. “It is presumed that default will in future be made on the interest on ofher bonds as they mature. It is tne opinion of many financiers that if the receivers of thesBal- timore and Ohio had defaulted generally from the first, instead of straining every nerve to restrain interest payments, and had used the net earnings in _ building up the property instead of borrowing more money, it would have been better for all interests. It is not thought that any plan for the reorganization of the company will be announced until the situation is restored to a normal condition.” Is the baby too thin? Does he increase too slowly in weight? Are you in constant fear he will be in? Then give him more flesh. Give him more power to resist disease. He certainly needs a fat-forming food. Scott’s Emulsion is just that food. It will make the baby plump; in- crease the weight; bring color to the cheeks, and prosperity to the whole body.

Krehbiel of New York, the emi- nent musical critic, delivered a lecture on “Dvorak and Nationalism in Music” at the Universalist Church last night. The lec- ture was given under the auspices of the Choral Society, and a large number of the members of the soctety, as well as musi- cians generally throughout the city, were Present. Mr. Krehbiel gave a short history of the life, struggles and accomplishments of the composer under discussion, assign- ing him to a high place in the ranks of great musicians now living. He dwelt at length upon the theory of nationalism in music and upheld the “plantation” theory ef Dvorak, who has written a symphony constructed entirely upon ideas gained from study among the negroes of the south. Mr. Xrehbiel, in addition to possessing an un- limited store of knowledge of the subject of music in all its forms, has an ease and grace in delivery that is charming, and an almost inexhaustible stock of good stories, gained from his long experience in newspaper work. The lecture was illus- trated by Mr. John Porter Lawrence, pian- ist; Miss Pierce, soprano; Mr. Paul, bass, ond members of the Choral Society, who sang selections from Dvorak’s “The Spec- ter’s Bride.” This oratorio is to be pro- duced at the next.concert of the Choral Society, and the lecture was given by it as an introductory feature of this concert. —+e—__ Union Veterans’ Union.

HYATTSVILLE, Md., April 7, 1898. A regular meeting of the town commis- sioners was held last evening, Messrs. Tierney, Miller, Aman and Walker being present. The cubject of the town elections, which will take place the first Monday in May, was discussed, and Messrs. H. J. Brown, F. A. Holden and Joseph W. Aman were appointed judges. Much interest is being manifested as to the outcome of these elections. In addi- tion to the choosi.g of two commissioners to fill the expired terms of Messrs. Tier- ney, president of the board, and George N. Walker, the important question of bond- ing the town to the extent of $25,000 for the purpose of establishing a complete water works and partial sewerage will be voted upon. Those favoring the im- provements are confident they will score a sweeping victory. The opposition is be- ing carried on chiefly by the single tax element, of which Mr. Jackson H. Ralston is the leader. After selecting the judges of election the board listened to the report of the treas- urer, showing collections amounting to $2,345.03, expenditures, $1,944.72; cash bal- ance on hand, $400.31. A communication from Capt. Wallace A. Bartlett, agent for the Holliday Land Company, regarding the proposed erection of a bridge across the Northwest branch between Highlands and Hyattsvilie was read and the maiter therein taken under advisement by the board. The board adjourned, subject to the call of the president. aa Two Delightful Seaside Resorts.
