The second annual reunion of the Spart. Club Buffet took place af 1216 last Tuesday evening. The popular Messrs. Moore and Prioleau had a very fine bill offare prepared. The place was beau- tifully decorated and festooned with flags, and bunton, flowers, etc. The local Press was largely represented a: well as the Personal Liberty League, headed by Mr. C. C.’ Curtis, Presi- lent Hawkins and other members of the organization who presented a large floral horse shoe, The design was the center of attraction. Thre were uly 500 invited guests present during theevening. Itis a reunion that will be long rememberd. WILL RESIGN. . WASHINGTON BER, Mr. Moore under the pretext of rising to a question of personal privilege, obtained the floor, and in true con- gressional style proceeded to verbally bombard the position taken by Messrs. Frisby and Hill. Mr. Moore was fre- quently and loudly applauded and was reaching a rhetorical climax when Lawyer Frisby rose toa point of order. Mr. Frisby: Mr. President I under- stood the gentleman (Mr. Moore) rose to a question of privilege, but it seems he really rose to make a speech. The President: The chair under- stcod that the gentleman rose to a question of privilege. Mr. Moore: Mr. President the charges and insinuations of the gen- tlemen (Mr. Frisby and Mr. Hill) to effect that if the Federal Constitution were so amended as to permit suffrage in the District that the city would be flooded with “‘repeaters” from the States, had no foundation in fact and as a citizen of the United States and of the State of Mississippi he could not let the matter go eirerateds President Martin being on the floor moved that the further consideration of the resolutions be postponed until January 30, when after reading of the minutes, they will be call up for further consideration. Sunday next Dr. G. H. Richardson will read a paper and the Mount Car- mel church junior, Miss L. C. Brock- enburg, directress has accepted an invitation to be present. i Major Arthur Brooks has recom- mended to the President Dr. Philip B. Brooks to be surgeon of the First Sep- arate Battalion District of Columbia National Guard. This is a worthy promotion for a deserving young men. Rev. Dr. Hugh Jonhston, pastor | of the Metropolitan M. E. Church, has | received a call from the State/ Street M. E. Church of Trenton N. J, and has written a letter accepting the’ charge, if it meets with the approval of | the board of bishops. The term of Dr Johnson here expires during the early ' part ofnext March. The conference will assemble at Waugh Church the 2nd, of March and at the conclusion of its meeting the new list of assign- | ments will be read. There is little’ doubt that Dr. Johnson will goto Tren- ton, and there is every reason to be- 4 lieve that Dr. Bristo! will succeed ! him as pastor of the Metropolitan. THE CONGRESSIONAL LYCEUM. WILL DISCUSs SU FRAGE. At3 p. m. Sunday last, James A. Clark, Esq., a well known temperance orator and lecturer addressed the Na- tional Congressional Lyceum at Odd Fellow’s Hall,. 1606 M street north- west on ‘“‘Temperance,’’ As a speak- er, Mr. Clark’s style is fluent, easy and pleasing.

His address was timely and well re- ceived by the audience. At the conclusion of Mr. Clark’s address, Lawyer E. V. Davis rose and offered the following resolutions, which by unanimous consent were re- ceived and read: The following resolutions were offer- ed by E V. Davis in the National Con- gressional Lyceum at Odd Fellow’s Hall, January 16th 1898. WHEREAS, in 1874 the territorial form of governmcot of the District of Col- umbia was by Congress abolished, and WHEREAS, since that time the public affairs of the said District have been managed by a Board of three Commis- sioners acting under the direct legis- lation of Congress, and WHEREAS, under the present form of government of tiis District the resi- dents thereof are deprived ofthe rights of suffrage, contrary to the spirit, if not the letter of the constitution of the United States, and =aS, the present form of gov- ernment Js non-republican and despot- ic in its nature and therefore object- ionabie to the majority of the residents of the Wistrict and has so far proved an unmitigated failure in many re- spects, and, WHEREAS, the House Committee on District of Columbia is now having ar- gument pro and con on the subject of suffrage and self government for said District : BE IT RESOLVED, that Congress should, at a nearly date cause, a special election to be held in this District to determine whether said District desire a change in the present form of goverment. RESOLVED FURTHER, that it is for the well being of the people as a whole of the suid District to haye sufferage and self government as they have a perfect right under the constitution of the United States. After the subsidence of the ap- plause which greeted the introduetion of the resolutions, Lawyer Stewart being recognized by the chair, stated that the resolutions were extremely important and timely, and on_ his motion the lyceum at once proceeded to consider them. The discussion was opened by Mr. Williams, who after utilizing his five minutes, was by unan- imous consent, honored by the exten- sion of his time to eight minutes. Mr. Williams speech from start to finish was vigorous and from his point of view the District governmental system is radically wrong. Messrs. L. C. Moore and M. T. Clinsscale favored the resolutions, while Messrs. P. W. Frisby and Hill opposed them on the ground that the District’s present form of government is the best that could be inaugurated. At this juncture vice-President Dr. A. H. Stevens was called to the chair and the residents of Suffrage in the District of Columbia restored. Some of the Democratic bailiffs in the Police Court given the ticket of leave soon. ITIS RUMORED. That better, That the 800 dollar job was the best he could get.

Ata meeting called on the evening of the 18th inst , at Old Pisgah church, located at the corner of 1oth and R streets nortiwest, the opponents of the Sherman Anti-Scalping bill en- deavored to pass resolutions against the measure, but failed in their efforts.

The next speaker was Attorney T, L. Jones, who certainly had not read the bill, for he discussed the rights and privileges of the negro from the North Pole to the South pole, and not the anti-scalping bill. Following Lawyer Jones, was H. A Clarke of N. Y., he delivered a strong and forcible argument in favor of the bili on its merits, declaring that as the railroads gave employment toso many of our people as weil as it was a cor-| poration as some of the speakers pre- |! ceeding me said, I believe that we should indorse the corporation that benefitted the common people of both races. : The speaker was constantly intorro- gated and immediately answered the questions satisfactorially to the audi- ence by referring to the bill, which he held in his hand Mr Joseph Williams, of Denver, Col. | prove of. the only caucausian in the meeting taken. Clarke interrupted him and stated to jthe audience that where the ‘Jim | Crow Car’ law was in operation, the | State Legislatures had enacted, a law {compelling the railroad companies | running through the state, to either | have separate coaches or separate japartments inthe coaches for white |and colosed people. _ If this law was not complied with, they would have to pay a heavy ffne for each violation. It is not so in |the Northern States, where the rail- roads are not interferred with by the law. Mr. W.C. Payne of Alexandria, Va., an aspirant fora consulship, was the next speaker, and with all the words at his command; tried to crush out of existance, corporations and monop- olies, that had enslaved his people, He was rather personal and abusive in his wild declarations, which the audience indicated they did not ap- No definite action was a.
