One hundred and twenty-four years after the battle of Lexington the descendants of the patriot warriors of revolutionary dis- tinction gathered last night at the Hotel Normandie to speak a word of remembrance and praise of their ancestors and to drink a toast to the great republic, made possible by the valorous deeds of the early Ameri- can army. The Sons of the Revolution, 8o- clety of the District of Columbia, took ad- vantage of the significant anniversary oc- casion to hold their annual dinner. A delicately prepared menu of the viands of the spring season was served, with rare old wines interspersed. The dining hall was beautifully set and decorated. Pa'ms skirt- ed the side walls, while vines were swung in graceful loops from the frieze and ceil- ing. Upon the north wall was hung the im- mense ensign of the society, marked in the center with a figure of the famous minute man. The tables were fragrant with cut flowers. A large representation of the mem- bership of the society and a number of in- vited guests of prominence were present shortly after 9 o'clock, when the dinner was begun, Dr. Walter Wyman of the marine hos- pital service, president of the society. pre- sided and acted as toastmaster. When the dinner courses had been completed Dr. Wy- man arose and referred briefly to the oc- casion and also spoke of the battle of Lex- ington. His mention of the names so emi- nently associated with that great conflict evoked the utmost enthusiasm, as did the references constantly made during the evening by the various speakers to the rev- olutionary period and its incidents. Responses to Toasts. Col. Green Clay Goodloe, former presi- dent of the society, was first introduced. Col. Goodloe spoke entir2ly of the affairs of the organization and highly compliment- ed the present executive, saying that the society is at present in the very best of condition and would surely continus its progress under the wise administration of Dr. Wyman. Dr. Wyman, in Introducing the next speaker, said that to outsiders it was often a matter of wonderment why the society of the Sons of the Revolution and the Sons of th> American Revolution, with kindred requirements as to membership and identi- cal objects, should not be united. Euforts to secure an amalgamation of the national societies had fatled so far, he sald, but he was sure if the matters were left to the District societies of the two organizations they might speedily be arranged. The most cordial relations had always existed between the two local orders of Sons. “Mr. J. E. Gric3 of the Sons of the American Revolution was then presented amid plause. Mr. Grice said he had always fa- vored an amalgamation, had worked for it in the past, and would continue to do so in the future. Our Country and the Press in Con- Erens. Mr. Amos J. Cummings, representative from New York, was the nxt speaker. He responded to the toast “Our country and the press.” In opening Mr. Cummings re- ferred to his recent visits to the battlefield of Lexington, and also to the field in South Carolina wher2 the battle of the Cowpens was fought. He declared t§at the sun- bonneted women of the south, with their meager means and humble abodes, are as patriotic and as fervid in the love of their country as ar2 the wealthy, extravagant ladies of New England, so noted for their annual functions of splendor. The men, too, of South Carolina, he declared, pos- sessed the same spirit. Mr. Cummings paid a tribute to the part played by South Caro- lina and its peopl2 in the revolution. Re- ferring to the press, he drew a picture of what the newspapers of today might do with such stirring news as was in evidence in the days of Washington. Looking over some old ps he had learned that the attack on ec had recetved in the Hart- ford Courant a notice to the extent of a little more than elght lines. Today, he sald, ther> would be full-page pictures of the event, and “et ceteras without num- A comparison, Mr. Cummings re- d, between the newspapers of this period and those of the revolutionary days would result decidedly in - ter, for they stated facts and then stopped. Mr. Cummings took occasion to say that he belleved in giving the mother country, England, all the honor that was due her, but it s too much for him when at an American dinne: toast should be drunk to her roy y Queen Victoria and the second to “his majesty William McKinley Wondered Awhat would have happened the time ff George HL had been toasted before George Washing- ton and George 1V before Andrew Jack- son, The Fighting Parsons. - Dr. Frank H.

The Alaska bill occupied the attention of the Senate yesterday afternoon after The Star’s report of the proceedings was closed until adjournment. Mr. Carter, in charge of the measure, re- Diied to the speech of Mr. Teller, delivered on the previous day, in which the Colorado senator denounced the men who had jumped the claims originally located by some Laps, Swedes, Norwegians and Finns, Mr. Carter maintained that mere denun- clation of the men Was not sufficient to de- stroy their rights. The injured parties ought to be permitted to go into the courts to contest legally for their claims. Charges Against nn Army Officer. In the course of his remarks, Mr, Carter had read a petition from the Law and Or- der League of the Cape Nome district, in which serious charges were made against the United States army officer in command of the district—charges which indicated that he was personally Interested in the claims located by the so-called aliens. Mr..Rawlins (Utah) asked if it were not a fact that this United States army officer had dispersed at the point of the bayonet 9 regularly organized miners’ meeting in the Cape Nome district. Mr. Carter replied that he had been in- formed that soldiers of the United States had dispersed a meeting of American citi- zens called together to make rules and regulations for the government of mining in the district. And subsequently, he said, some of these men had been taken to St. Michael and lodged in jail. < “That this action of the United States army will be subject to a rigid investiga- tion there can be no doubt,” said Mr. Car- ter, “and the investigation must be search- {ng and thorough. The facts will out in time, and If guilt exists, the guilty man may well begin to tremble now.” Mr. Carter’s Substitute, Mr. Carter offered a substitute for Mr. Hansbrough’s amendment, and delivered a speech in support of it. The substitute fol- lows: “That nothing in this act contained shall be construed as changing the existing mining laws of the United States, but in any suit, action, or proceeding hereafter commenced involving the validity of an up- patented mining location on the public do- main any party alleging an interest in the subject matter may put the competency of the locator in issue, and the court shail de- termine whether the locator Was a citizen or had declared his intention to become the SPP H HHO HHHAHSOS HOE SES OEE OES SESE EOS OE ESE EEEEEEEEESEEESEE ESOT EES EE EOE EEEEEEESESEESES OSES EEE ESEED +a a Boys’ Clothing Talk. : ° ° . . . .

Ave. and 9th St. citizen of the United States at the time the location was made.” This amendment, he said, was falr and just. The opposition to it was not the miners in ice-bound Alaska, who were not represented in this Capitol; but was the band of speculators who had rounded up all the claims they could get hold of, and were represented by a lobby here in sh- ington. “I am for the American miner,” he declared, “and believe he should be given ference in the location of mining claims + the aliens who do not even declare ir intention of becoming American citi- zens. That is all there is to my amend- ment.” Mr. Spooner Opposed. Mr. Spooner (Wis.) opposed the amend- ment, and declared that the charges made against an army officer could have nothing whatever to do with the question at issue. As to the amendment offered by Mr. C: ter, he said it would affect not only people in Alaska, but because of its wording might also greatly injure the American miners now operating in Canada. The proposition of the amendment w; in his opinion, ab- horrent to every fair-minded man. It was retroactive legislation affecting the rights of people throughout Alaska. It was a proposed change of existing law, as the Supreme Court had held that only the gov- ernment of the United States could call into question the citizenship of a locator of a mine. He pointed out that the suits pending could be easily dismissed and 2 instituted, thus enabling an individual to call into question the citizenship of a mine locator. As Mr. Carter admitted that his amend- ment would apply to all the territories of the United States, Mr. Spooner challenged its right to be put upon a civil code bill for Alaska, where, he declared, it had no business. He maintained that the rights of the orig- inal locators of claims in the Cape Nome district ought to be determined, not by Congress, but by the courts acting under the law as it existed when the rights were acquired. Mr. Tillman urged Congress to take no action that might deter the Finns from leav- ing Russia and settling in Alaska, thus af- fording a good population for the district. ‘The bill was then Said aside, and after a brief executive session the Senate, at 6 p.m., adjourned. ——___$_+++____—_. Bit BY A MAD HORSE. Awful Fate of John Williams, a Maryland Farmer. A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from Cumberland, Md., says: A mad dog ran amuck at Corrigansville, three miles north of Cumberland, three weeks ago and bit a horse. A short time after the horse showed signs of rabies, becom- ing extremely vicious. The owner, John Williams, @ farmer, after the horse had bitten pieces of flesh from different parts of its body, decided to shoot it. He took the horse to a vacant field, and while kill- ing it the animal bit him on the right arm, inflicting a slight wound. Shortly after the accident Willlams de- veloped symptoms similar to those with which the horse had been affected and grew so bad that Dr. Smith of Ellerslie was called and temporarily relieved the stricken man. Since that time Williams fs attacked reg- ularly every seven hours by a fit, which drives him insane, biting, kicking and frothing at the mouth {n a terrible manner. At the request of the unfortunate man, whots afraid he will bite his. children or other- wise injure them, he-is chained to the floor during the attacks, which usually last about an hour and a half, after which he again becomes rafiondl. He has frequently pleaded with different persons to kill him and end his awful life. The man Is forty-four years old. _—$$— a —__4 0s _____ Collecting Porte Rican Customs.
