Se es ae as a a ae Mizpah Chapter Entertains—Dr. Alex- ander's Anniversary—New Hospital. ‘Phe entertainment given last evening by Mizpah Chapte- No. 8, Order of the East- ern Star, was a very successful! affair. The entertainment, which was in the naturz of a lawn party and fete, was a compliment- ary one, and was held at the residence and grounds of Mrs. W. F. Hunt, on 32d street extended. All of the ladies of the chapter were present and helped to make the even- ing pleasant and enjoyable, while a musical and literary program was rendered during the course of the evening. Mrs, Handy, the worthy grand matron of the Grand Lodge of the District, was one of the guests of the evening. Inspectors T. F. Perry and Benjamin Harper rendered valuable and ef- ficient aid. Next Sunday will complete the fifth year of Dr. W. C. Alexander as pastor of the West Street Presbyterian Church, and the event will be propsrly celebrated. At the morning service Dr. Alexander will deliver a special sermon, in which he will review the work of the past five years. No even- ing service will be held. Rey. Mr. Barton, who has been called to accept the rectorship of St. John’s Church, j} corner of Potomac and O streets, is ex- pected to arrive in the city about the mid- Gle of August, though it is hardly probable that he will assume the @utles of his new charge until September 1. He is now on his vacation. The new Georgetown University Hospital, lecated at the southwest corner of 35th and N streets, will be thrown open to the pub- lic August 1. If pessible the date of open- ing will be made a few days earlier. The interior work fs almost completed, espectal- ly in the upper portions of the building, though as yet the elevator has not been put in. The new order of sisters who will have charge of the place and act as nurses will scon be established in the city. Those who are to do duty at the hospital were ex- pected to arrive at the place this forenoon, but for some unknown reason did not come, They will occupy the top floor of the build- ing. On the floor below a chapel will be built for their use. ‘The new staff of the hospital has practi- cally been selected, and everything is ready to begin the work of aiding the sick and suffering. The free dispensary will soon be put in place, and the emergency room fitted up. The new hospital will receive all the emergency cases in the western section of the city.

[IN THE WORLD'S MARKETS —__——_ Increasing Sales Abroad of American Manu- Growth in Exports by No Means Con- fined to Grain—Other Countries Seriously Concerned. The remarkable Advance of the United States into the markets. of the world is presented in a publication just issued from the bureau of foreign commerce, Depart- ment of State, wi -r the direction of Mr. Frederick Emory. While presenting elabor- ate statistics and data on the increase of this trade the world over, the subject is also treated broadly to bring out the gen- eral significance of this trade development, which Mr. Emory refers to as “an Ameri- can invasion of the markets of the world.” Although no reference is made to recent geographical and >olitical changes result- ing from the . .pearance of the United States in the Philippines, in Cuba, Porto Rico and elsewhere, yet the review deals with the important part which the Ameri- can enterprise and capital is taking in the development of the far east. Increase of Exports of Manufactures. In his introduction to the work Mr. Em- ory say: “The United States ts no longer the ‘gran- ary of the world’ merely. While its exports of agriculture products has increased to a remarkable extent during the past year, Its sales abroad of manufactured goods have continued to extend with a facility and promptitude of results which have excited the serfous concern of countries that for generations had not only controlled their home markets, but had practically monopo- lized certain lines of trade in other lands. When we consider that this result has been reached with comparative ease in spite of added impediments to United States ex- ports in the form of discriminations of va- rious kinds and notwithstanding that or- ganized effort to reach foreign markets for Gur manufactures is as yet in its infancy, the ability of the United States to com- pete successfully with the most advanced industrial nations in any part of the world as well as with those nations in their home markets can no longer be seriously ques- tioned.” The attention which foreign governments have given to the rapid increase of Ameri- can trade is discussed as follows: Efforts of Europe. “In view of what may be termed an American invasion of the markets of the world the attitude of the leading commer- cial nations toward each other and the re- lations in which their industrial activity and trade interests bear to the United States become a matter of practical con- cern. The more important incidents of the past year In foreign diplomacy have, there- fore, a significance for us which might not have attached to them in the absence of concerted efforts to extend the sale of our goods. It may be said that the chief busi- ness of European diplomacy at the present day is to secure new ‘spheres of influence’ and wider opportunities for trade, as well as suitable territory for occupation by the overflow of population from the more Gensely inhabited countries. The world has watched the progress of the diplometic drama in China with an interest which has heightened by the knowledge that the tactical outcome might be either the open- ing of new channels of trade to the com- merce of the globe or the appropriation of them by particular nations for their own sjecial benefit. China has for some years been one of the most promising fields for American enterprise, industry and capital, and the entrance of the vast empire upon the path of western development under conditions which would secure equality of opportunity to the United States would doubtless result in’ immense gain to our manufacturers in the demand, sure to fol- low, for dines of supplies and goods of va- rious descriptions that we are pre-eminent- ly fitted to provide. “The solution of the problem of the fu- ture commercial conditions of the Chinese empire has, therefore, an immediate and most important relation to the expansion of our export trade, especially that of our Pacific slope. The partition of Africa among the European powers offers con- siderations of economic character of al- most equal magnitude, while the plans of the more active commercial nations for in- creasing their respective shares of the trade of the Latin-American markets af- feoted us even more seriously in the de- velopment of our commercial intercourse with the southern half of the western hemisphere. The ‘international isolation’ of the United States, so far as industry and commercial commerce are concerned, has, in fact, been made a thing of the past by the logic of the change in our economic re- quirements, and we can no longer afford to disregard international rivalries, now that we ourselves have become a competitor in the world-wide struggle for trade.” Economic Changes. It is shown also that international con- ditions In many of the foreign countries are bringing about ‘mportant economic changes which affect the trade of the United States. In this connection Mr. Emory says: “Nor is it with the relation of the dif- ferent nations toward one another that we are alone concerned. Industrial changes current within the territory of each obtain a new and more graver im- portance in their possible effect upon our nascent development as an exporter of manufactured goods. The conditions con- tributing to the rapid growth of manufac- tures tn recent years; the fiscal changes in Russia, India and Japan, as well as in some of the Latin-American countries; the extraordinary impulse given to the indus- trial and commercial growth of the Ger- man empire as a factor of international trade; the advance of Russia on similar nes, and the rapid progress of the Si- berian railroad toward an open port on the Yellow sea; the efforts of Great Bri- tain to meet the encroachments of other nations; the decline of the sugar Industry in the West Indies ag a result of the beet sugar competition; the troubles of Spain with her colonies; the discovery of gold in Alaska and the adjacent territory in British Columbia: the tariff legislation of the United States, Canada and other coun- tries—all the phases of economic changes during the past year have an interest and importance for the individual operative in the United States which are greatly en- hanced by the transformation now going on in our industrial life, converting us slowly but surely from a people absorbed with the internal development of a virgin continent into one of the great commercial nowers of the world, with the international {sterests and responstbilities which such a position naturally implies.” The body of the }ook.treats In detail of American trade with all the countries of the world. t The Dragon Fly, From Chambers’ Journal, No one could fail'to be struck with the singularly perfect adaptation of the in- sect's structure to @ life of aerial piracy.

THE ORATOR OF THE DAY Gen. Hooker's Eloquent Address at the Con- federate Veterans’ Reunion. Disappointment Because Mrs. Jeffer- son Da Cannot Attend —The New South's Position. A host of ex-confederate heroes, tread- ing historic ground, invaded Atlanta yes- terday. For two days the confederate vet- erans and their friends have been pouring in and a conservative estimate of the peo- ple now in Atlanta to attend the eighth 924, 926, 928 7th, running through to 704-706 K st. P lines. at once. annual reunion of the veterans is 40,000. The railroads there are advised that sev- eral special trains are on the way, and as the traffic inward bound ts still very heavy today’s arrivals are expected to swell the total number of visitors to the 50,000 mark. The confederacy’s ranks are well repre- sented, yet much disappointment is ex- pressed at the unavoidable absence of Mrs. Jefferson Davis. Mrs. Davis’ health is not good, and, fearing that the journey from Richmond would overtax her, the first lady of the confederacy has given up the trip. Miss Winnie Davis, however, }s ex- pected this morning. She will be met at the depot by a reception committee and escorted to the residence of Mrs. William M. Davis on Washington street, Atlanta. The names of General Joseph Wheeler, the gallant cavalry leader, and General Fitzhugh Lee are on every lip, the regret for their absence, however, being set aside by the fact that they are nobly represent- ing the south in the struggle with Spain. The interest yesterday centered in the first meeting of the veterans in the audi- torigm of Piedmont Park. There, sur- rounded by 10,000 of his devoted followers, General John B. Gordon, commander-in- chief of the veterans, delivered an address, published in The Star yesterday, which thrilled his auditors and called forth a re- sponse in terms which admit of no doubt as to the general’s place in the hearts of his followers. The speeches of the day abounded with praises of the heroic deeds and achievements of the sons of the south in the present war, and the names of Hobson, Bagley, Schley and Blue were cheered to the echo. . Orator of the Day. General Charles E. Hooker of Mississippi, the orator of the day, was given a cor- dial reception, and his address was well received. He said that when the surrender was made the confederate soldiers separated with arms in their hands. He said it was @ capitulation, the confederates being al- lowed to depart in peace, unmolested so long as they observed their parole. “There is not one confederate but has kept the terms of his capitulation,” said the speaker. Referring to the surrender at Appomattox, General ttooker stated that some of the federal officers desired to fire a salute in honor of the, victory. Everything was in readiness for’ the salute, when General Grant, learning of it, said: “Stop that fring. We have no great vic- tory to be proud of, for we have been four years capturing the: x00 men who have laid down their arms. General Hooker was one of the counsel appointed by the state of Mississippi to de- fend Jefferson Davis when he was charged with treason. He spoke feelingly of the way in which the president of the confed- eracy with supreme abnegation took upon himself the sins of all his people. Only one reason, said the general, could be assigned for the failure to try President Davis. His ‘prosecutors knew he was not gull ‘They knew his allegiance was first due to his state, and as a loyal citizen of Missis- sippi when she seceded it was his duty to espouse her cause. In commenting on the fact that the south’s representatives were taking a prominent part In the war with Spain, he took occasion to attest to the bravery and gallantry of General Wheeler. “They may beat him for Congress in Ala- bama,” said the speaker. “They'll never do it,” shouted a score of voices from the audience. may beat him for Congress in Alz . continued the speaker, “but will erect a magnificent monument to him. The Confederate Graves. General Hooker referred, in the course of his remarks, to the fact that at the graves of the confederates in the national ceme- tery at Arlington were headstones bearing the inseription “Rebel.” He told of a visit to the cemetery with some ladies, who said that it was an outrage that such a thing should be. “It 1s eminently proper,” said the gen- eral, “that these poor boys who wore the ragged confederate coat of gray should be buried here on the ground which belonged to the second greatest rebel this ¢ y has ever produced, Robert E. Lee, Washington being the first. Yes, they were rebels—rebelled against what they be- lieved was wrong, and asserted what they thought was right. It goes without saying that Gen. Gordon will be re-elected commander-in-chief. The general, who has held first place for the past ten years, has, it is sald. been cor ering the advisability of withdrawing on account of ill-health, but the demonsira- tion accorded him yesterday shows that he still holds the hearts of his followers, and they will not hear of his leave-taking. Gen. Stephen D. Lee of Mississippi and Adjt. Gen. Moorman have been mentioned as possibilities for the position of comman- Ger-in-chief, but these gentlemen realize that firat place belongs to Gen. Gordon, and they unite in saying that he will be the leading spirit in the organization as long as he lives. Encampment Contest. A spirited contest is on for the next en- campment. Charleston, 8S. C., has been ag- gressive from the start, and with claims which have much weight has inaistei that the next meeting place belonge to them. The Kentucky delegation, however, has been using smokeless powder, and the chances seem to favor Louisville. Charles- ton’s admirers say their state furnished twice as eee £ followers of the flag as Kentuvy, they ve the facilities for caring for the crowds, their city coundil has ap- propriated a large sum of money for the entertainment of the veterans, and, finally, that Louisville is out of the way from a geographical standpoint. Loutsville, how- ever, it develops, has the support, in addl- tion to their own state, of Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Miesourt, Oklahoma, Alabama and enough, in fact, to practically assure them the next en- campment. The Charleston contingent, supported by Texas and Virginia. will fight it out, however, and the contest will not be decided until Friday. Prof. E. F. Andrews, director of the Cor- coran School of Art in this city, on solicita- tion of Gen. John Underwood, has painted @ magnificent full-length military portrait of Gen. Lee, to be presented to the Confed- erate Memorial Association. The portrait will be unveiled at the Auditorium Thurs- day night, with appropriate ceremonies, the orator of the occasion being Mr. Lucien Knight, the well-known speaker. The Maryland delegation, in the absence of their official sponsor, Miss Miers, yester- day designated Miss Polly Hawksworth Norris of Baltimore to fill the place. Receptions to the sponsors have been the order in social circles. Yesterday after- noon, at the Kimball House, Miss Ella Powell, a leading society woman, assisted by a number of young men, gave an in- formal reception to the fair ones and their maids of honor. ‘There were many reunions of brigades, bivouacs of comrades on the grounds and receptions by the old commanders in vari- ous parts of the city last night. Today, the anniversary of the battle of Manassas, routine business will be trans- acted by the convention and various social functions will be given in tac evening. ‘The grand parade of the veterans, which ts looked forward to with much interest, will be held Friday afternoon, the anniver- sary of the battle of Atlanta. The Veterans’ Sons. The Sons of Confederate Veterans, who have been coming into Atlanta in detach- ments for two days, got together yester- day afternoon for their first business ses- sicn. Mr. H. N. Randolph, commander of the Georgia division, called the gathering to order, Addresses of welcome on the part of the state and city were delivered, to which Mr. Jesse W. Sparks responded. A committee was appointed to revise the constitution, which was formulated in Richmond three years ago, and they will report in a day or two.

It was not a question of secession which was settled, but a question of expediency, said the speaker. If the question was right then, it is right now. “Never,” said Mr. McAllister in closing, “as long as we have the names of Lee, Jackson and Davis will the cause be lost.” The election of officers will be held Fri- ay. a sons as a body favor Charleston for the next encampment of the Veterans and the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Justice O'Neal rendered his decision today in the case of Charles H. Cragin and Wil- ton J. Lambert, trustees, against James E. Connelly, in favor of the trustees, for the sum of $300, the full amount claimed. Mr. Connelly was sved on account of an al leged default made by him in the purchase of a house sold under a chancery decree. Tha sult involved the questions of the right of trustees, in case of resale, to hold a defaultt purchaser for more than the amount of the deposit required of him at the time of sale, and the right of a party to curtail the amount of diff2rence claimed so as to bring it within a magistrate’s ju- risdiction. The latter point, the justice held, had become res judicata by the order of Mr. Justice Hagner in directing the action to be brought for the sum m2ntion- ed. Considering the effect of the ruling upon future sales, it is said the matter will be carried to the Supreme Court of the District for final hearing. AREER Eleven Dollars in All. George Harrington was today fined $10 for assaulting Policeman Harry W. Gorer and $1 for disorderly conduct. ad POLICEMAN REBUKED. Judge Scott Releases Prisoners Ar- rested by Officer Van Horn. Policeman W. C. Van Horn was this morning severely rebuked by Judge Beott for arresting Julia Armisted, Laura Vass and Matilda Turner,colored women, for hav- ing, as alleged, used profane language to him last night. The women were defended by Lawyer Thomas L. Jones. Officer Van Horn eaid he made an arrest of a party who afterward proved not to be the man wanted, and he was released. A crowd of men and women laughed at the officer, and the latter, believing that the accused were in the crowd, forced the door of the house in which they all lived and arrested them. The officer admitted swearing in making the arrest, and claimed that the women had aisc used bad language and threatened him. A number of witnesses testified that the women were not misbehaving in any manner, and that cne of them was writiag’ to her husband, who is at work away from ‘Washington. In disposing of the case Judge Scott read a clipping from The Star referring to a case bef{vre the late Judge Miller, in which an arrest of a man was made for whistling on the street, and for which Judge Miller reprimanded the officer in scathing lan- guage. Judge Scott said the present wat @ parallel case to the one before Judge Miller, and he did not think the arrest should have been made. He then ordered the release of the defendants. aa ieene Theft of Scrap Iron. William Smith, colored, was today ar- raigned befors Judge Scott on the charge of stealing a lot of scrap iron, valued at & cents, from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
