Such a monument would for all time bring into strong relief the prominent principles which governed the spirit of the war, and the purely humane purpose for which it was carried out; while at the same time it would memoralize our loyal and patriotic soldiers amd sailors, alive and dead, who were the instruments of this magnanimous policy.

Brown, an Episcopal clergy- man, about fifty-five years old, dropped dead from heart disease yesterday after- noon on Pennsylvania avenue near the cor- ner of 18th street. The deceased was stay- ing temporarily in this city, and was board- ing at 714 19th street northwest, where his sister is living. He had few acquaintances here. At one time Mr. Brown was rector of a church in Philadelphia, and the re- mains will be sent to that city tomorrow for interment. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take a Bromo Quinine Tablets.

The announcement by Vice President Me- Gee, who presided at last evening's meeting of the National Geographic Society, that President McKinley had accepted an elec- tion as an honorary member of the society was received with enthusiastic manifesta- tions of approval. Following this, Mr. Rob- ert Adams, jr., member of the House of Representatives from the second district of Pennsylvania, delivered an illustrated lecture on “Brazil and Its Revolution.” Brazil 1s, Mr. Adams explained, the most extensive, populous and fertile republic of South America. It has a population of about 18,000,000, with some 4,000 miles of coast line, und one of the best, If not the finest, harbor in the world—that of Rio de Janeiro. The area is about 3,250,000 square miles. It has about 8,500 miles of rail- roads, more than 10,000 miles of telegraph lines and about 3,000 post offices. In 1531 the Portuguese planted their first settlement in Brazil. In 1578 Brazil fell with Portugal into the hands of Spain and became a prey to the Dutch, and although Portugal regained {ts own independence in 1640, it was not until 1634 that Brazil was entirely free from the Hollanders, In 1807 the royal family of Portugal fled to Brazil. In 1815 the colony was declared a kingdom, and, the Portugue: court h ing returned to Europe in 1821, a national congress assembled at Rio de Janeiro; and May 13, 1822, Dom Pedro, eldest son of King John of Portugal, was chosen’ “Per- betval Defender” of Brazil. fle proclaimed the independence of the country Septem- ber 7, 1822, and was chosen “Constitutiona. Emperor and Perpetual Defender” October 12 of the same year. In 1831 he abdicated the crown in favor of his only son, Dom Pedro II, who reigned ag emperor until November 15, 1889, when, by a revolution, he was dethroned and exiled, and Brazil was declared a republic under the title of the United States of Brazil. Fonseca, a general in the army, who had once been sentenced to death, but was pardoned by Dom Pedro, was the first president. In 1891 a new constitution was adopted. The productions of Brazil are various. Besides gold and diamonds, iron of superior quality is abundant, and salt is also exten- sively produced in saiine marshes. The e ports are coffee, cotton, cocoa, sugar, to- baceo, hides, tallow, horns, drugs, ‘dia- monds, gold dust, ¥lic, rice, tapioca, spir- its and rosewood, ‘and in value amount to about $150,000,000 per? annum. ‘The chief centers of foreign “trade, and, with San Paulo in the interior, the principal cities of the empire, are Para, Maranhao, Bahia, Pernambuco and Rid de Janeiro, ‘The last named, which is lfewise the seat of gov- ernment, is the chief port. After the close of his lecture, Mr. Adams delivered an add¥éss'' to show that the charge was untrue!’ made by some geogra- phers, that Mr. James Stevenson of this city, with a friend, did not ascend to the summit of Mount’ ton, a distance of 13,000 feet, in Brees by ae COMMAND of FOURTH CORPS. Gen. H. W. Lawton Will Succeed Gen. Wheeler. Major General H. W. Lawton, U. 8. V., who has been In this city for several we2ks on leave of absence, will succeed Major General Joseph Wheelet in command of the 4th Army Corps, the headquarters of which is at Huntsville, Ala. Gen. Wheeler was relieved of that command the open- ing of Congress, in order to bermit him to perform his legislative duties. Sinc> that time Gen. A. R. Chaffee has been in temporary command of the corps and will so remain until relieved by Gen. Lawton. The 4th Corps is being held in reserve for garrison duty in Cuba in case additional troops are needed in execution of the ad- ministrative policy. Inasmuch as it 1s mainly composed of volunteer troops, its ranks are likely té be materially d2cimated in the expected event of a general muster out of volunteers upon the ratification of the treaty of peace. iFOR NEW BUILDING Encouragement to the Project of the YM. 0, A NEARLY TWO HUNDRED NEW MEMBERS ee Addresses by Prominent Citizens at Last Night's Reception. LIST OF THOSE ENROLLED Seldom, perhaps never, in the history of the Young Men’s Christian Association has there been such a thoroughly successful start in any movement inaugurated in its behalf as the one which was made at the Arlington Hotel last evening, on the occa- ston of the reception by the board of man- agers of the association to representative, Christian young men in the city. This is the verdict of those who have charge of the association’s interests. Shortly before & o'clock the guests began to arrive, and from that time until a quarter of 9, when the adjournment was made to seats in the banquet room, an informal reception was enjoyed. The hundreds of young men who came were greeted cordially as they en- tered the parlors, and introduced in turn to each of the members of the board of managers of the association. When the company had repaired to the banquet hall Prestdent Woodward called upon Rev. 8. H. Greene, D.D., of the Cal- vary Baptist Church for the opening prayer. Mr. Woodward then made a brief introductory address, outlining the present situation with reference to the movement for a new building. He said that there was every prospect of success for the enter- prise, but that he believed the most import- ant step to be taken at the present time was that of securing a large and influential membership for the association among the Christian young men of the city. “As soon,” said he, “as the rich men of this city realize that the Christian young men of the city are thoroughly in earnest abeut this matter, they will come forward with all the money that is necessary to build a worthy structure for the organiza- tton, which, by means of the Christian young men of its membership, strives to reach out and help young men of all classes and conditions who come to our city.” Reorganization Plans. Mr. Woodward spoke of the efforts now on foot to reorganize every department of the association's activities as a precursor of the construction of the new edifice. He reminded his hearers that before a new buildmg was possible, or even deserved, it Was necessary to have a strong and vigor- ous association. The contemplated refitting and refurnishing of the temporary rooms on New York avenue was referred to, and the kindly offer of Columbian University to permit the use of its hall for the Sunday afternoon meetings beginning January i, 1880, was announced. President Woodward then called upon the Rey. Alexander Mackay-Smith, rector of St John’s Church, who made an eloquent address. Dr. Mackay-Smith referred to the young men of the nation as being at one and the same time the hope, the problem and the despair of the nation. The future of the country depended so largely upon the character of the young men, that every institution which sought to mold and trengthen the thought and purpose of young men in proper directions should re- ceive the earnest and enthusiastic support of every patriot. Judge Charles C. Cole, one of the direct- ors of the association, also spoke briefly. He referred to the fact that in every large city there are several splendid buildings dedicated to the work of the Young Men’: Christian Association, and deplored the fact that in Washington there is no place in any sense worthy of the noble institution. The judge referred to the splendid audience in the room, and said to Mr. Woodward that he hoped that, as one of the jury com- missioners of the District, Mr. Woodward would see that his jury box was supplied with young men of the character before him. Rev. Hamlin’s Remarks. Rey. Teunis S. Hamlin, upon being intro- duced, said he was an expanstonist, espe- clally when it came to the Y. M. C. A. When he called for an expression of senti- ment as to the future movements of the association a rising vote was taken on the question of whether the young men present really wanted the association to succeed and the new building movement to go for- ward. Ty man rose to his feet amid enthusiastic applause. Mr. Charles F. Nesbit of the board of managers spoke of the great help the asso- ciation had been to him in the years gone by, and made a tender reference to the life and work of the late general secretary of the ciation, James E. Pugh. He was followed by Rey. Luther B. Wilson, pres ing elder of the Methodist Church, spoke briefly but enthusiastically of the work and prospects of the association. Other Addresses. Henry B. F. Macfarland was called upon to speak of the religious work of the asso- ciation, and his references to the propos efforts for the evangelization of young men by means of the Sunday afternoon tings and other religious work of the ssociation received the most earnest at- tention. Rey. H. Greene, D.D., compii- the association upon the present administration, and said he looked for re- sults which would be considered remark- able, inde: District Commissioner John B. Wight said he hoped that when the cap- ital centennial is held in 1900 one of the features of the celebration may be the ded- ication of a magnificent building for the Young Men's Christian Association. Presi- dent Whitman of Columbian . University and Dr. E. M. Gallaudet of Kendall Green responded to the call of President Wood- ward for short addresses. President Woodward then introduced the new general secretary of the association, Mr. John B. Sleman, jr., who gave a prac- tical turn to the sentiment which had al- ready been crystallized, by suggesting to those present the desirability of enrolling themselves as members of the association, and securing others to do the same. Nearly two hundred men signed the membership card. The meeting was brought to a close with prayer by Rev. M. Ross Fishburn. New Members Enrolled. The following new members of the asso- ciation were enrolled last evening: Z. D. Blackistone, Ernest Durnbaugh, John T. Hiker, Howard S. Gott, Albert Osborne, A. E. Ingram, Percy S. Foster, Norman P.
