Business Men's Association Wants One Held in Washington. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Business Men’s Association, at 1314 F street northwest, last evening, the presi- dent, Mr. W. S. Knox, in the chair, a reso- lution offered by W. S. McKean was adopt- ed to the effect that there should be during the spring months of this coming year a celebration in this y of the cessation of hostilities between this country and Spain. The president was authorized to name a committee of five, of which he shall be one, to take into immediate consideration ar- rangements for a peace carnival in this city during the month of May. This com- mittee is instructed to extend an invitation to the board of trade, the East Washing- ton, Northeast Washington, Mount Pleas- ant, Eckington, Nortuwest Washington, South Washington, and like organizations of citizens to join with the association in making all arrangement for the proposed eclebration. A resolution was also adopted approving the movement already inaugurated to ap- propriately celebrate in 1900 the centennial anniversary of the location of the perma- nent seat of government in this city, and pledged the earnest support of the associa- tion to the movement. A social meeting of the asgoctation, it was announced, will be held at Wiilard Hall Monday evening, when a buffet lunch will be served. Standing committees were announced by the president, as follows: On law and legislation—Lawrence Gard- ner, N. H. Shea, E. W. ‘Ayres, W. W. Burdette and C. F. Norment. On entertainment—Allison Nailor, jr., E. G. Schafer, J. 8. Miller, E. H. Neumeyer and T. E. Ogram. ‘Transportation—F. P. May, P. H. Heis- kell, jr., R. A. Johnson, W. T. Weaver and Elphonzo Youngs.
