EAST Resolutions Adopted by Association Last Night—Street Railway Fa- cilities Dise ed. There was a well-attended meeting of the East Washington Citizens’ Association last night and several matters of importance to the eastern section of the city were dis- cussed. At the conclusion of its session last night the association adjourned until the first Tuesday in September. This is in ac- cordance with the established rule of the organization not to hold meetings during the summer. Should any matters of im- portance arise during the recess they will be attended to by the executive committee. The meeting was given up for the most part last night to the consideration of ways and means for removing the jail and work- house from that section, and the speeches which were made during the consideration of this subject demonstrated how earnest the residents were in the matter. The first subject of interest to be reached under the call of committees was contained in the verbal report of Mr. M. I. Weller, from the committee on street railroads. rman Weller described how materially ‘airpad facilities In East Washington had improved during the past few years, and spoke of the failure of the Anacostia and Potomac River railroad to operate its irs in accordance with the charter. He explained how this matter was brought to the attention of President Truesdell of the road and of the assurances he had received from that offic hat the improvement of the road would shortly be taken up in ac- cordance with the general plan of the Washington Traction Company. The Penal Institations. A discussion Of the objectionable penal institutions located in East Washington w brought up through resolutions offer- ed by ex-President Babson. In his remarks supporting the resolut he spoke of tne poor of the city domiciled in the almshouse, and said there was no good reason why these unfortunates should he housed away out on the river banks, together with the criminals and slums of the city. It was his belief the removal of the almshouse should take precedence over the others. Otier speeches were made during the evening by several of the members, all con- tending earnestly for the removal of these institutions. During one of the specehes it was pointed out that large appropriations were available for the improvement of these institutions, and urged the expenditure porary structure ing the permanency the erection of new ones. ject had been thoroughly discv it th: was shall be made for tem- maintain- by and not in of the building: lutions offered by Mr. Babson were unani- mously adopted.

TRUSTS ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL BEFORE THE SEX ATE. Amendment Restricting the Quarter- master's Department in Its Pur- chases Defented by 18 to 29. During the greater part of the session of the Senate yesterday afternoon the army appropriation bill, carrying supplies for the military establishment pf more than $114,- 000,000, was under consideration. Fhe fea- ture of the discussion of the measure was a debate on trusts, precivitated by an amend- ment offered by Mr. Berry (Ark.), providing that the quartermaster’s department should not purchase supplies from any recognized trust. The amendment was defeated. The bil! had not been completed when the Sen- ate adjourned. After The Star's report of the Senate pro- ceedings was closed yesterday afternoon Mr. Hawley, in charge of the bill, offered and secured the adoption of the following amendments: Appropriating $20,000 for clerk hire, furni- ture. stationery, ete.. fur the war college: increasing the apropriation for paymasters’ clerks at $1,400 cach from $125,000 to $13¢ 000, and fixing their compensation on vice basis, thus: Those who have serv: teen years, $1,800; ten years, $1,600: five years, $1,500: less than five years, $1,200 fixing traveling allowances for officers ar men discharged in the insular possessions at 4 cents a mile. A A committee amendment was offered by Mr. Hawley striking out the last paragraph of the bill and inserting the 5 “That the act approved January 12, 18%. granting extra pay to officers and enlisted men of the United States volunteers shall extend to all officers and entisied men of the volunteer organizations who have scrved honestly and faithfully in the volunteer army of the United States during the war with Spain, and have been awnorably dis charged prior to January 12, 1899, with their organizations, without furlough, or by rea- son of their services being no longer re- quired, or at any time by reason of wounds received or disability contracted in the ser- vice and In the line of duty, and who have not received the extra pay granted in said act or subsequent acts of ss supple- mental thereto.” ‘The amendment was Aimed at Trusts. Mr. Berry offered the following amend- ment, which precipitated a debate upon the question of trusts: ‘The quartermaster’s department, in making contracts and pur- chases of articles and supplies for the mili- tary service, shall give preference, all other things, including price and quality, being equal, to articles of the growth, production and manufacture of the United States; and as between the producers, manufacturers, merchants and dealers of the United States preference shall be given, all other things, including price and quailty, being equal, to those producers, manufacturers, merchants and dealers who are not_mem- bers of or in any way coimected with any trust or combine formed to produce, manu- facture or sell the articles which are being contracted for and purchased by the quar- termaster’s department for the military service,” Mr. Sewell (N. J.) inquired what he meant by a trust. He had heard of these propo- tions before, but had not heard aftybody give a satisfactory definition of trusts and combines. What were commonly known as try 4, had in instan| proved to be public benefactors He designated the Standard O: Company and the American Sugar Retining Company as two combinations of capital which had cheapened their products to the people. This “populistic sentiment” about trus he said, was the adoption of the small ways of the past of transacting business, and ft was not in any respect based upon good sense, Mr. Berry replied that he had not ex- pected Mr. Sewell to agree with him and be in sympathy with any effort to curtail or destroy the power of great combinations of capital. In the course of a discussion of trusts, Mr. Berry said it was well un- a pod that the object of such combina- tions was to raise prices. He declared that the que nof trusts was one of the great- est naw faced by the people of the coun- try. He knew, he said, that the leaders of the republican’ party were not in favor of trusts, and pointed out that the republicams of Ohio only last week h: form condemning trusts. “Of course,” said M rry. “th was a one, but it was a plank. Mr. Hawley opposed the amendment on the ground that the officers of the army had no option but to accept the lowest bids for suppll Mr. Stewart took the ground that it had thus far been impossible to frame such leg- islivion as would be effective against trusts. Most of the efforts in this direction been, he said, “perfectly wild and c and the proposed amendment w: comedy of errors on the s Mr. Sewell's Statement Denied.

It was an American there who gave him the commis- | sion for one of the pictures which have been most instrumental in making Munkacsy’s name known. This was “The Last Lay of a Condemned Man,” painted on a_huge panel of wood, which the artist himself prepared. The picture was first exhibited in Dusseldorf for the benefit of a cha and was sent afterward to the Par’ lon | of 1870, * 1 The artist followed his picture to Paris, where he became a frecuent exhibitor at the Salon.

Munkacsy, who was the widow of the Baron de Marches, was rich, and the artist soon purchased a handsome home at No. 5% Avenue de Vil Hers, Paris, which he filled with a wonder- ful collection of costly bric-a-brac and } works of art. The “Interior of a Studio,” the first picture painted by the artist after his marriage, contained portraits of Mun- kacsy and his wife. and marked a consid- erable departure from the style of his earlier work.
