o HE AN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1897 BARRED BECAUSE OF HER COLOR Negro Woman Refused Ad- mission to a Tacoma Musical Society. She Is Highly Talented, but the Circumstance of Race Is Against Her. Action of Society Lealers D2ncunced From the Pulpit of the Free Church. TACOMA, WasH., April 7.—The Ladies’ Musical Club of this city is an organiza- tion intended for the development of in- strumental and vocal music among its members, and embraces in its fold all of Tacoma's four hundred. Last fall Mrs. Henry J. Ashbury, a colored woman, the wife of the barber of the Tacoma H. a talented pianist, applied for admission as & member of theclub. She received no acknowledgment of her application until this week, when she was informed that it bad been denied. It now transpires that the sole and only ason for her rejection was her color. officers of the club admit that there is nothing agaimst Mrs. Ashbury's char- acter, but that because of her color” her admission would have resulted in the dis- solution of the ciub, Rev. Alired W. Martin, astor of the First Free Church, having learned through bis wife, who is a member of the club, of the blackballing of Mrs. Ashbu:y, became indignant and endeavored to lave the matter reconsidered by the olub. The women would not entertain such a propo- sition, and as a last resort, in order that the public might_be acquainted with the injustice done Mrs. Ashbury, he pub- lisned a protesting letter in the daily press to-day. This has had the effect ot putting the members of the clubintoa highly excited frame of mind. Rev. Mr. Martin takes the position that as the club was organized for educational and not social purposes it had no right to excluge Mrs. Ashbury. Mrs. Ashbury would easily pass a short distance awav as a white woman. She is well educated, refined and ladylike in ap- Ppearance and behavior. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. The House Votes $200,000 for the Reliet of Fiood Sufferers—Sockless Simpson Causes a Commotion. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 7.—The House was in session &n hour to-day, in which time it passed a joint resolution ap- propriating $200,00 for the relief of the fiood sufferers in the Mississippi Valley and enjoyed a little sensation sprung by Simpson (Pop.) of Kansas. The resola- tion was introduced by Catchings (D) of Mississiopi and agreed to unanimously. Cannon and Walker criticized the appro- priation, however, the latter hoping that it was the last that would be necessary through the failure of the States to put themseives in a position where they could constitutionally take care of their own people. Walker gave notice that he would in future object to the passage of imilar resolution, believing it 1o be decasing in its effect Upon the recipients, Simpson furnished tne sensation of the diy by following tue example of Earle of South Carolina in the Senate yesterday and protesting against the failure to ap- Doint commiitees to proceed to the con- sideration of legislative business in the regular and orderly way. He spoke of the POWer exercised by the Speaker as auto- cratic and described present conditions as reyolution and anarchy. Speaker Reed responded at some length, stating that it was the first time this con- dition " of affairs bad existed, Mr. Blaine, in the Forty-second Congress, having failed to appoint committees promptly at the beginning of Coneress. He had sup- posed until to-day that there was unani- mous concurrence of the opposition that the public did not require the complete organization of the House at tbis time. He regretted that any member shouid lend himself to criticizing the action of the Speaker outside of the House. He said the present occupant of tke chair wouid welcome any action the House might see fit 10 take. At 1:30 o’clock om motion of Dingley (R.) of Maine the House adjourned until Saturday next. e OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. “Shioping Wen Ssek 10 Revive the Ameri. can Merchant Marime——Californians in Washington—Fensions.

Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, in which the party of the second part was to purchase The Needles aivision from the Scuthern Pa- cific, but owing to the inability of the varty of the first part 1o give title undor a mortgage executed in 1875 the line was to be leased by the Atlanticand Pacific Rail- road pending a cl-ar title.

THE ST, HICHOLAS AFIRE A Blaze That Blew Up the Drugstore on the Corner. Lesses Are Est.mated to Be About | Twenty-five Thousand Dollars. The St. Nicholas Hotel caught fire early this morning, and before manv minutes had passed the whole eastern end of the lower floor was in a blaze. The fire started in George Carroll's drugstore at the gore of Hayes, Larkin and Market streets, and the first evidence of its presence wasa terrific explosion that blew out all three windows of the drug- store. Flames followed fast on the flying glass, and the fire started at once to eat up into the floor above. The wildest excitement at once prevailed | among the inmates of the hotel, and every one at once made preparations to leave. Prompt efforts of the police kept the fire under fair control until the engines ar- rived, and then what lookea like a most | dangerous blaze was soon put out. The stock of the drugstore was entirely destroyed, and it is not believed that there was any insurence on it. It was estimated to be worth $25,000. The building has always been looked upon as a bad placs for a fire, and the readiness with which the inmates started for the door was a sign they appreciated the gravity of the situation. Beyond the loss of the drug stock and the store fixtures, the hotel was damaged only to the extent of a large hole in the lower floor and the spoiling of the furni- | ture in two rooms.
