There was not much formal observance OF
Independence Day throughout the country.
The sad memories of a year ago inclined most
people to quiet. Wherever there were ceie-
brations however, they partook somewhat Oh
the nature of memorial SCI vice for GARFIELD.
His was the most honored name The vener-
able DIR. Hopkins, ex-president of Williams
College, delivered a significant address on his
lamented pupils life and character. Part OF
the speech of Senator Warner Miller at
Woodstock, Conn, also a tribute TO the
worth of the late President.
judge Batcheler's explanation of the Egyp-
t;an imbroglo and his estimate of the char
acter of Arab Pacha, given in conversation
with TRIBUNE reporter, printed elsewhere,
cannot fail to aid the public to obtain an un-
derstanding Of the causes that operated to pro-
Eeypt. 1t is evident that Judge Batcheller is
himself strongly prcpossessed in favor of
Arab. He states the Egyptians cause in
way that will rouse much sympathy among a
people. accustomed as we are to sympathize
witt every honest effort for self government.
Those simple-minded folk who have believed
that the Star Route trials would result in the
risbrn nf no
cused will be somewhat discouraged and sur
rrised when they read letter from Wash
inrtoD. printed on another page. 1t appears
that there is 30 provision in the laws of the
District of Columbia for "struck jury,
such as secured the conviction of some of the
Ring thieves in this city. Few safeguards are
thrown around the trial. The jurymen are
allowed the greatest freedom. If any one of
the accused persons wanted to bride juror
there would be little to prevent him from at
least offering a temptation. Under such cir
cumstances justice is at disadvantage, even
with an honest judge aud conscientious prose-
cutting counsel
The weather perhaps was the most excep-
tiopal feature Of the Fourth. 1t was delight
fully cool--c0oler than it has been here on the
same date for five years. If the rain had come
in the morning instead of the afternoon, it
would have been more acceptable. 1t might then
have dampencd some of the firecrackers and
other explosive nuisances that made life
burden before noon, and it would not have
interfcred so much with the outdoor sports.
The result of the failure to enforce ngidly the
ordinance against the use of explosives in this
city was what was expected. Fires were nu-
nerous, and in one or two instances the dam
age TO property was considerable. Moro pain
full, however, was the loss OF life at the
St. Vincent de Paufs School and Nursery
IN One hundred and sixty -fourth-st.
The intercollegiate boat-race on Lake George
passed of successfully, and will strengthen the
feeling in favor of reviving the association
abandoned some years ago. There was no eel
grass yesterday. and no refusal to row. The
University Of PennsJlvsnia won the victory in
