the aengerfest-Reception to b
Held at the Club House.
The members OF the Washington SasnRer-
bund are returning home in sections, and by
to-day all its members will have returned
from the great Saengerfest at New York. The
Saengerbund brought home with them the
sixth prize, a handsome silver cup, Of which
they are very proud. They had with them
only thirty-nine singers, and on account Of the
small number they were reiegated to the
second class.
Tonight a reception will be given the VIC
torious singers at their clubhouse on G street.
1t will be AN informal affair." but at the same
time the occasion will be one OF great rejoic-
ing, as the prize is looked upon as something
of value.
At the singing contest Washington was rep
resented by twenty-five members OF the Orion
Quartette Club, who, though not as fortunate
as the Saengerbund. were, however, highly
commended for their excellence In singing.
1t Is likely that the members OF this organtza-
ton will take part in the festivities tonight.
Prof. Mellon Waldecker. leader OF the San
gerbund, said that the festival was the grand
est he had ever witnessed. "NO words can
picture said he. "tbe grandeur Of the occa-
sion. Think OF thousands OF singers banked
up In rows like u pyramid from the floor to
tho ceiling. with an orchestra Of ITO pieces,
and 22,000 persons listening to a volume Of
grand music coming at the will Of the director
at one sound, now loud. now soft, producing
an effect that will be long remembered by
those who heard it. We feel proud over our
victory. IA we had twenty societies In compe-
trtion in our class-the second. We went to
win something, and we would have felt bad
had we not returned with prize"
Taking everything into consideration
Washington achieved quite victory in the
great carnival Of song in New York, and to-
night the returned singers will be made to
feel happy by the appreciation Of their
friends

PLAYS AND THEIR PLAYERS.

The hot weather seems to have no effect
upon the size OF the audiences at the New Ma
tional theater The Summer comedy season
at this cozy theater has become permanent
institution. and affords delightful entertain
ment for Washingtons Summer population.
The bill for the current week is an am
bilious one, presenting Robertson's comedy
dramn, Home" Miss Gallatin has u con-
genial role in Mrs. Pinchbeck, and displays
her histronic abilities to conspicuous advan-
tage. 1t is with regret that we chronicle the
fact that this is the last week OF this talented
lady's stay with the company. but much
needed rest prior to the early opening OF her
regular season compels her to bring her en-
gagement to a close on tomorrow night.
Buckstone's farce "A Kiss in the Dark"
which opens the weeks performances. forms
fitting contrast TO Home" The programme
for the coming. or sixth week of the
comedy season. will be devoted TO the revival
OF two OF last season's important productions.
The first will be the late Frederick Brough-
toms comedietta, ''Ruth's Romance" pre-
sented by the original cast, Mr.. Coote, Mr.
Wheelock, and Miss San lers.
The main portion Of the programme will be
"A Bachelor of Arts" which was one of the
patent factors in the permanent establishment
OF the New National Comedy Company. In
this play Mr.. Bond has one of his happiest
roles. aqd the balance of the company have
congenial loles. The sale of reserved seats is
now In progress at the Office OF the National.

HOW TO END THE BOYCOTT.

The New York Sun prints the following
news-column editorial In connection with the
Pullman boycott:
Shall the weary business man, delicate
women, children, and invalids be sidetracked,
deprived, it were, Of bed and board, and
forced either TO discontinue their journeys or
make them under conditions which In these
days would seem almost primitive, because tine
Pullman workmen cannot get as much In wages
as they demand,
Here is delicately sentimental plea
that should go right to the heart OF every one
of those real mean strikers. II copies Of the
great-and-only Sun could be distributed in
the strike region the whole trouble would un-
doubtedly terminate abruptly. Boycotters
would read and reflect how small was the dis
tress OF The hungry wives and babies Of Pull
mans workmen compared to the inconveni-
cnce of the SUMS mythical woman, who Is re-
duced to the occupancy of a chair car or
plush-seated coach.
And then, too, think OF the Suns weary
business man, Could 1t be that the strikers
would find it in their hearts to cut of his nice
lower berth and smoking-room seat just to
please lot Of weary hand-workers, who have
4 whole ilve-dollar bill each month over and
above the rent they pay to their philanthropic
employers side-snap real estate agency?
Mr.. George Makepeace Pullman should at
once buy up this edition of the Sun, scatter #
among the boycotters, and save those disap-
pearing palace car dividends.

tho people Of this city are not Is capable Of
managing their own local affairs as those Of
any other community anywhere in this or
any other country. In all the essentials Of
good citizenship the residents of the national
cgpital will not suffer by comparison with
those OF any other place. Then why has this
undemocratic condition Of affairs been foisted
upon the people against their will? Why hss
1t been permitted to continue for nearly q
score Of years, and how much longer are our
patient and long-suffering disiranchised citi-
gems going to endure the wrong7
The people OF the capital of the United
States are as much entitled to municipal
form OF government as are those Of any other
city. and they ought to have it right away
They never should have been deprived OF it.
The arguments used to justify the perpe-
tration and perpetuation OF the wrong will
apply with equal, and in many instances far
greater force to nearly all the great cities of
the land.
The people who live here should not only
have local self-government, but the form OF 1t
should be the very best that can be devised.
The national capital should have model city
government, one that all our principal cities
might pattern after.
Congress ought to be able to furnish an
ideal form of municipal government for the
Federal city, and the agitation will not cease
until some progressive steps In this direction
are taken.

WHY CONGRESS Is DISAPPOINTING.

The public frequently complains that Con-
gress is disappointment. but seldom in
quires why, for if it did some Congressman
would never be elected.
Lawyers, as counsel under pay Of railroads
and other corporations. seldom discharge
their duties as Congressman without preju-
dice to the public.
Pettifogging lawyers with private bills to
enact are never good legislators, because to
pass their measures they must sacrifice their
independence.
Men with cranky theories, schemes Of re-
form, and bigoted ideas of religion are not
broad enough to make good Congressman.
Men with large regulations as stump speak
ers and small ideas on everything but their
own importance should never be elected to
Congress.
regulations in private life needs sugar-coating
to make them pass are sure to fall into the
hands of lobbyists as members Of Congress.
Men who cannot successfully control their
own affairs are not capable "as Congressman"
OF taking care Of the affairs Of others.
Lawyers whose sole stock in trade is slight
smattering OF law, and whose business e1pe-
rience is confined to practice before justice
courts, ought never to be sent to Congress.
There are enough corncob-pipe lawyers there
now.
Men who are continually making pledges to
reform politics, laws, public abuses, and every
thing else but themselves, are Dragging dema-
gogues either in or out Of Congress.
If voters would reject all congressional can
didates who correspond in character and
ability with the above-described men, the
country would be less disappointed with its
Congress.

ANARCHISTS HARI-KARI.

One Of Santos AccOmplices Disembowels
Himself Rather Than Be Arrested.
PARIS. June 2s.-A dispatch from Mont
pelier, capital of the department of Herault
situated about seventy-flve miles from Mar
settles. announces an anarchist tragedy grow
ing out OF the efforts Of the police to discover
accomplices of Gesario Santo, the assassin of
President Sadi-Carnot.
The detectives who have been at work in
Montpelier yesterday evening decided to sur
round aud search the house of a man named
Granier, supposed to be an anarchist and a
possible accomplice of Santo. Granier, it ap-
pears, during last Sunday afternoon, previous
to the attack upon President Carnot was
heard 10 remark:
''By this time Carnot must have received
his quietus.'
As the President was not stabbed until late
the same evening it was naturally concluded,
when the news of the outrage became public,
and when it was shown that San;o had Wis
tied Montpelier. that Granier must have
known that an attempt was to be made upon
the life of the President.
When Gran;ers house was surrounded the
detectives burst in the door and summoned
the anarchist to surrender. Granier was
seated at the table. eating his supper. when
the police burst in uron him. He sprang to
his feet and for moment stood motionless
with surprise. Then, with surprising swift
ness, and before the detectives could secure
him. the anarchist picked up a long and sharp
knife and plunged it inso his abdomen, and,
with few swift turns Of the wrist, disem-
boweled himself and fell to the floor, where
he expired almost Immediately afterward.
The police then commenced q thorough
search of Granier's lodgings and. according
to report. quantity of anarchistic literature
was discovered, together with documents
which connect Santo with Granier and others

der Of President Carnot

Superintendent corev Tells How Armor

TO Deceive Government Inspectors

superintendent COrev ielis how ArmOf
for War Vessels Was Manipulated
TO Deceive Government Inspectors.
Superintendent Corey, of the Carnegie
armor plate shops. was before the congress
sional investigating committee yesterday. He
testified he received the manipulated" re-
ports direct from Cline and presumed them
to be correct. although he had no knowledge
to the contrary.
Corey said he had general direction of pull
ing test plates. In September he directed
that the pulling should be according to the
government contract. Before that the direc-
tions In some cases were NOT in accordance
with the contracts. The test machine had
been run very fast, giving tensile strength
Of s 900 or 1000 pounds greater than existed.
This was Justification. His superior officers
knew of this ''jockeying" and manipulate
ing" He and General Superintendent Schwab
had spoken OF it. There was no motive on
his part for. ..iockeying." In reply TO kepre-
sentative Dolliver Corey said that in general
way he knew the plates on American war ves-
sells were good. He did not know personally
that false specimens had been secretly substi-
tured for the real specimens. He had heard
OF 1t In the works In such a way as to believe
it, but did not investigate it.
When asked IL he had changed the stamp
numbers OF two sponsous for gunboat No. 8,
Corey said that he might have done so In
several instances plates had been stamped in
correctly at the rolling mill and changed
when the error was discovered. Regarding
Siil's testimony on that point, he said that Sill
had no means Of knowing. Corey was net
posted regarding the treatment of bolts, and
said that Cline had always reported that they
were treated twice.
II saw no reason to question his reports
he said to Chairman Cummings. but when
Representative Money asked: Ibid you be-
lieve they had been treated twiee?'' he an
swered, mo SIR" This had been done with

oficers OF the company had known OF frauds
