BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 7.--Tacques Won
Raalte. q native Of thecity Of Rotterdam,
Holland, but residing and doing business
in Glasgow, Scotland. where he also rep.
resents the Netherlands as consul, to-
day instituted suit ii the Circuit court oi
the United States. for the district of Ma
ryland, BY W. Starr Gebhart, his solici-
tor, against James G. Blaine. as secretary
Of state Of The United States Of America.
The bill sets forth that William H.
Seward. when secretary Of state, issued
on IuIy 2s, 1868, 4 presentation which
recited that "neither TIL United States,
nor any state, shall pa5 sahy debt or OBJ.
legation Incurred in aid Of the insurrec-
tion or rebellion against the United
States, hut all such debts and obligations
shall be held illegal and yoid.'s Prior to
July 28, 1868, the plaintiff purchased for
their full value $125.000 of negotiable
coupon bonds, issued by the south
ern states, as joint and several
obligations, and be contends that
the proclamation was illegal. in
that It included the past debts OF
obligations, and Secretary Seward's proc.
lamation contained an implied admission
that without such prohibition the states
referred to would owe a Just and valid
obligation. The plaintiff seeks an en-
trance into the court to prove, first, that
the proclamation obliges the secretary o.
state to take the curious position that
although the states never lost their sta
tus in the union, yet their obligations
could be annulled as II they had; and
second. that the state obligations al
ready incurred could be thus repudiated
and the vested rights taken away.
The plaintiff also claims that being q
citizen of Great Britain and Holland, such
acts on the part OF the secretary Of state
were also illegal and void, because 1t was
interference with his rights as a citizen Of
foreign country between which treaty
stipulations existed which protected him
Suit is to recover damages for destroying
value of negotiable bonds and their cou-
pons.
Interest is also claimed on the bonds
amounting TO the same as the principal
! the whole being $250,O00.
Gebhart says as the government of th'
Tinted States cannot be sued, it wat
necessary to proceed against its officer
the secretary OF state.

The work of Rev. Egfert smith.
at the Presbyterian Church.
All who hear the preaching Of Rev. Egg
bert Smith at the Presbyterian church
are impressed not merely by his earnest
ness, but also bv his eloquence and di-
rectness. At the morning service, at II
O'Clock each day, he addresses his re-
marks chiefly to Christians. This morn
ing his subject was: "Am I My Broth
ere Keeper?" His presentation OF the
responsibility imposed by family ties was
very impressive.
The halt hour service for children each
afternoon at o'clock is characterized by
a simplicity Of presenting the gospel
story that is alike attractive to children
and grown people. Each night at 8

of Governor Hill, possible candidate

is reported that he did not meet

Carolina, but that he left that
state With the distinct knowledge that
Grover Cleveland will receive the solid
support of the North Carolina democrats

that Mr.. Danforth will find that the

that he will be able to make such re
port that when he returns to New York
the democracy Of the empire state
will come to the conclusion that New
York will not be able to control the next

FOR The FOURTH.
The General Committee Makes the
Final Arrangements.
The Appropriations Made Last Week
Allowed to Stand-ITow to
Cover q Shortage.

The General Fourth of July Committee
held another meeting last night and COM
pleted the arrangements for the celebra-
ton.
1t was expected that the meeting would
be livelier one than the last, for il was
known that more money had been APP
propriated than was in the treasury, and
it had been stated that some Of the appro-
priations would have to suffer.
Mayor Comstock called the meeting to
order and called for reports Of COM
mittees.
w. d. Knights, Chairman of the FL
nance Committee, said that he had no
further report to make, as none of the
canvassing committees had reported to
him.
John Denny said that he had tried to
collect some money from Washington
but had failed. Nobody would subscribe
because there was to be no regatta.
I. l.. Enright explained that the regatta
people had shown very little interest in
the matter, and could give the General
Committee enoinformationa as regards what
was wanted. The committee, therefore,
did not consider the matter.
}. w. Wilson wanted to know Just how
much money had been collected. and was
informed that Sl,700 was the amount
The amount appropriated was 81, 800.
Mr.. Wilson thought some cutting down
should be done
w. b. Miller did not think there would
be any shortage, as the railroad shops.
freight sheds and State Capitol were yet
to be heard from.
Mr.. Dittmar. representing the Horribles.
said that his organization had decided not
to go ahead unless the $500 voted it at the
last meeting was assured.
There was quite little talk over the
situation, and finally Mr. Larkin moved
that every member Of the Fourth OF July
Committee by assessed five dollars. so as
to make UP the shortage
The motion was seconded and voted on,
but there was a division. Before the votes
were counted there was another long dis
cusSion, and finally Charles T.. Bauer
suggested that tiye-dollar assessment
would raise mote money than was neces-
sary. He thought that the proper course
to pursue would be to wait until after the
Fourth and assess the members Of the
committee prOpOrtiOnateIy
Mr.. Miller thought that Mr. Bauer's
idea was good one, and he made mo-
ton to that effect.
This seemed to strike the general COM
mitteman as being about right, and they
voted for it unanimousl y-and all was
peace again.
Mr.. Enright. on behalf Of the Parade
Committee, asked that that committee be
discharged as it had had nothing to do,
and there was no prospect for it getting
any. The request was granted.
Mr. Ficks wanted the Programme Com
mittee discharged for the same reason.
but the request was declined
After discussing some unimportant de-
tails an adjournment was taken until
Thursday evening.

LIQU5R LICENSES.

Trustee Mclaughlin yesterday called
up bis motion to reconsider the vote Nv
which the board last week passed The
new liquor license ordinance. lie then
moved that the vote be reconsiderod.
Mayor Comstock said he considered
that matter had been settled.
q. NJ. Lcitcll asked the board not to bf
governed by 400 saloon men, as against
all the other people in Sacramento.
W. 4. Anderson, attorney for the
Liquor Dealers Association, said tho
board was compelled to take cognizanec
OF Trustee McLaughlin's motion. The
ordinance was an absurdity, anyhow. Il
provided that it should go into effect or
June 30th. and up to that time it could
not have been published ten DAYS. II
seemed TO him as though two members
OF the board had acted with Indecent
haste, and from peculiar motives.
Trustee Conklin said ne did not want
to be accused by anybody of acting in
bad faith, and he did not propose to lister
to such talk from Mr.. Anderson. HC
felt kindly toward everybody. but did
not want to be accused of violating his
trust.
The Mayor declared that there was
nothing before the board.
We'll, take some action, one wav OF
the other," said Mr.. Anderson. what
are you going to do with Mr.. Nc
Laughlin's motion?"
Its out of order" said the NTayOr.
Mr.. Anderson then read pronosad
ordinance giving the board power to close
the dives. He said it was a truly reform
atory ordinance, and would enable the
Trustees to close every disreputable
saloon. The liquor dealers would also
assist the board in suppressing such
places.
Mr.. Anderson again proceeded to tell
the board that the ordinance passed was
not worth the paper it was written on.
tie read several sections of the charter.
and claimed that the ordinance would not
stand a test in court
The matter was then dropped.
At the afternoon session Of the hoard
City Attorney Hart rendered an oDini0n
on the question Of the necessity of HAVING
ordinances published for given number
OF days before taking effect. He said
there was nothing in the charter reouir-
ing any such action-that such publica-
tlons had been made as a matter of CON
venience and information to the public
and that no court would hold it necces-
sary.
