ALONG THE RIVER FRONT/A NEW ANTI.TRUST BILL SCHOONER ARRIVES WITH CASE OF SMALLPOX ABOARD. Prompt Action of the Authorities— Quarantine at Alexandria—Ar- is at the Wharves, When the schooner Earl Biscoe, with the case of smallpox on board, reached the forks of the channel below the arsenal yesterday evening the harbor police boat Vigilant, with a marine hospital surgeon as a passenger, was waiting for her. She was brought to anchor and was boarded by the surgeon, who found John Miller, col- ored, aged twenty-five years, lying in the forepeak with a well-developed case of the disease, On the vessel were three other men who had never had the disease mentioned. One of the crew assured the surgeon he was immune against all diseases. Capt. Gas- kins said he had smallpox years ago. By the direction of the marine hospital! authorities Miller was taken ashore by the crew in a small boat and was sent to the smallpox hospital, while the three others of the crew were taken to the detention camp as suspects. Capt. Gaskins was left in charge of the vessel. Later in the even- ing the boat was thoroughly fumigated and in a few days will be allowed to come up to the wharves and discharge her cargo of cordwood. Under the direction of Surgeon General Wyman Dr. Arthur Snowden, the marine hospital surgeon in Alexandria, will have all vessels from the neighborhood of Nom- Int stopped below Alexandria for examina- before coming to this city. the harbor police boat Vigi!ant is morning and hailed the Bessie zelia, C. W. Stevens, Chas. H. Dai- Rice and Katie Muller, respect- and, finding no sickness aboard of any of them and being satisfied they were not from the Nomini neighborhood, the crew allowed them to come up into the harbor. Looking After the Buoys. The United States buoy tend2r Maple, Captain Meyers, arrived in port yesterday afternoon from a repairing cruise among the beacons and buoys In the lower river, She brought up the large light buoy from off Ragg2d Point, the supply of gas in it having become exhausted. On the arrival of the steamer here the buoy was sent to the gas plant at the foot of 14th street to be recharged with the illuminant, Those light buoys each contain a supply of gas sufficient to burn from three to five months without relighting. The Maple cleared this morning to continue her work on the river. Boats at the Wharves.

Steps to Prevent Dr. Shufeldt From Leaving the District. Florence Audubon yesterday afternoon in- stituted proceedings in equity against her former husband, Robert Wilson Shufeldt, retired, a captain in the United States army, who was recently tried by court- martial, asking the court to issue a writ of ne exeat against the defendant to pre- vent him from leaving the District of Co- lumbla and the jurisdiction of the court. Also that an order be passed directing Shu- feldt to pay the complainant the amount of alimony decreed by the circuit court for Montgomery county, Md., which has be- come due since April 5, 1899. In her petition the complainant reviews the case, the details of which are familiar to the public. It is explained that immedi- ately after the passage of the decree and before he could be attached or arrested under the order committing him to jail, Shufeldt fled from the jurisdiction of the circuit court for Mbntgomery county to the District of Columbia, where he has since resided. It is charged that he intends to quickly move from the District in order to avoid the payment of the alimony; that he has re- fused and continues to refuse to pay the alimony or any part thereof, although she 1s without other independent ‘means of sup- port, and that there is due her $650.

The special subdommittee on trusts of the House judiciafy chbmmitiee at a late hour yesterday agreed upon a new anti- trust bill in effect’ as follows: First. Requiring ithe branding or marking of trust-made goods shipped out of a state, so as to be easily identified as the product of a trust. Second. Prohibiting the interstate traf- fic of trust-made goods not so branded, and making them subject to seizure and con- demnation. Third. Requiring corporations having a capital over $1,000,000 or doing an annual business of $1,000,000, to file a report of their affairs with the Secretary of State. Fourth. Providing the process of injunc- tion against combinations sending trust- made goods from state to state or to for- eign countries. Fifth. Prohibiting the use of the mails to concerns and their officials proven to be trusts. 5 Chairman Ray of the judiciary committee and of the special subcommittee on trusts gave out the following summary of the measures: “The subcommittee of the committee on the judiciary today agreed to a report to the full committee a proposed constitution- al amendment, which provides that Con- gress shall have power to define, regulate, control, prohibit or dissolve trusts, monop- olies or combinations, whether existing in the form of a corporation or otherwise, and which further provides that the several states may continue to exercise such power in any manner not in conflict with the laws of the United States. “The necessity for this amendment grows out of the fact that it is held by the Su- preme Court of the United States that manufacture and production are no part of interstate commerce and cannot be reached under the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution, even though mo- nopoly in manufacture indirectly affects or controls such commerce. Therefore, mo- nopoly in manufacture is not restrainable by Congress even when it controls the out- put of an article of necessity to all the peo- ple in all the states and fixes the price at will. “Another measure amends the act of July 2, 1890, being an act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopoly, and known as the Sherman act. ‘The proposed bill increases the penalties fixed by that act, and adds thereto five new sections. The new sections relate to pro- ducing and manufacturing corporations and associations organized or managed for the purpose of controlling or monopolizing manufacture or production or so conductiag 8 to monopolize manufac- s that corporations and as- carrying on bus!- their business ture. It provid sociations organized ness for such a shipped without a shal! not be trans- or carried without such state when marked either upon the goods them- . the package containing same or the in which shipped. t of comm not marked may be 5 d lemned when made a part of interstate commerce.

DOMER RETIRES, DR. Resigns Pastorate of St. Paul's E lish Lutheran Church, signation of Rev. Samuel Domer, pastor of St. Paul's Eng‘ish Lu- Church, 11th and H streets north- Was presented jast evening at a meeting of the congregation and was ac- cepted. This action was taken by Dr. Do- mer because of advancing years and { paired health. His intention to do so was announced in The Star several weeks ago. After the reports had been read of the work of the year, which showed a prosper- ous condition of affairs, a letter from Dr. Domer tendering his resignation and ad- dressed to the council of the church was read. In this letter he stated the “resigna tion Is designed to take effect on the 31st day of May next. Then my active ministry wil have included a period of a little more than forty-five years, more than half of ‘hich has been spent in St. Paul's of Washington. “I need not assure you of the severity of this t which has come upon me," he added. “With my loving regard for you as a council and with appreciative conside: tions for every one of you for your kind- ness toward me in all our official and per- sonal relations with each other, I feel sad in the severance of those relations. But the years roll on, and the inevitab'e lessons of these years must be heeded. My resignation is prompted solely by this consideration and in no sort of way by any dissatisfaction with the dear people among whom I have been permitted to labor and live so many ts. I wish here to express my thanks to the dear members of the church for all their court and kindnesses through all these years and to assure them of my ten- derest regard and love, as I now ‘pitch my moving tent’ a little further toward the sunset of life. Iam not well; I am weary; I need rest. I have done what I could; i only regret that I have been unable to do better and to accomplish more.” The letter was referred to a_committee, which submitted resolutions. These were adopted and were to the effect that “by rea- son of advancing years and impaired health our beloved pastor, the Rev. Samuel Domer, D. D., has tendered his resignation as pas- for; and “That we, as a congregation, after due consideration, regretfully accept the same as tendered. “That we hereby express our appreciation of his faithful ministry of nearly twenty- six years in our midst; his cheerful and happy disposition ‘at aM times; his comfort- ing assurances dusing times of trouble and sorrow, and his. tender care and earnest solicitude for the, spiritual welfare of his people; and as a shark of appreciation for his long and faithful service we vote him the sum of $500 af a vacation fund.” The meeting then adjourned. a EFFECTS OF STRIKE. Railway Officials Say No Embarrass- ment is Cau: ue Telegraphers. The officials of the Southern railway in this clty declare that the effects of the te- legraphers’ strike ‘are no longer causing em- barrassment of any consequence in the con- duct of the business of the road. Reports from the various division superintendents, the officials here say, show that passenger and freight traffic is again moving along with Httle delay save such as is incidental to the business of railroading. The offi- clals say that 75 ver cent of the places of men who have gone on strike have been filled, and that the chief difficulty occurs where a striking employe was both agent and operator. ‘AS an evidence that the strike is well in hand, it was said today, General Manager Gannon has left Washington on 4 business trip, which he has been contemplating for several weeks. Hig trip, it is statei, is in nowise connected with the strike. —. For an Old Crime. William Harris, charged with housebreak- ing at the residence of Freby D.

The Georgetown University glee concert and dramatic entertainment for the benefit of the fund being raised to send the ath- letic team to the Paris exposition games will take place tomorrow evening at the National Theater. Indications are that this affair will be the most brilliant enter- tainment ever presented under the auspices of the university. The preparations which have been in progress were planned on a most elaborate scale in order to make what will prove the most conspicuous appearance of the musical societies of the university a glorious success artistically and to insure such a notable amount of patronage as would bring a large increase for the Paris trip fund. No previous enterprise has aroused the enthusiasm among the stu- dents, the alumni and their friends that is being manifested over the concert. The most prominent members of Washington social circles have interested themselves actively in the undertaking and are doing much to make it a social success. There has been a great demand for tickets, and only a few boxes remain. The sale of tick- ‘ets will continue at Sanders & Stayman’s until tomorrow evening, when the few good seats remaining will be disposed of at the box office. ‘The numbers of the concert will be fur- nished by the Georgetown Glee Club, ad- mittedly one of the best in the country; the mandolin club, which made a splendid rep- utation on its northern trip; the glee quar- tet, which has several times scored erm- phatic hits before Washington audiences, and well-known soldists. There will also be numbers by the Carroll Institute Or- chestra, and one of the features of the af- fair will be a clever dramatic sketch to be presented by the Carroll Institute Dramatic ————— LEAGUE.
