The Northeast Washington Citizens AS
sociatiun met last evening at its hall, on
the corner Of Eleventh and II streets north
east, and discussed numerous topics of
interest to the taxpayers including the
present and future Feeds OF that portion
of the city and the probabilities OF securing
necessary improvements in the way or
street lighting and paving.
Presiucnt Tucker reviewed the legisla-
tion that had Eeen effected through the
efforts of the association and outlined L"
some extent the intentions OF the orGaniZa-
ton for the future.
Among other things, he said, the Baltl-
more and Ohio Railroad Company has at
last decided to maintain a night watch
man a T. the intersection Of Its tracks with
L and streets and Massachusetts ave
nue. northeast, and it is his confident be-
lief, he said, that he would within the next
two months be able TO report that similar
action had been taken at all the crossings
Mr.. Tucker said this was the direct result
of the persistent agitation of the matter
by the association.
Recommendations by the members OF the
association for future street Improvements
were invited. II was sug gested that the
schedule should be ready for submission
at the September meeting, in order to have
il III the hands of the Commissioners at Us
carly Il date as practicable thereafter.
OCCUPIED RESERv
All of these Recommendations should be
addressed to Chairman II. ID. Martin, No.
lis + street northeast.
II was reported that the Committee dp
pointed TO interview Secretary Smith of the
Interior Department, in respect to The
occupancy OF reservation No. 2Ol by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
would otsain AN audience with the Sec
retary, probably today, at which time ii
was hoped something would be accom-
plished. The company, MI. Tucker 3D.
served, would not vacate the reservation
until oblig ed to do so, but it was his belief
judging from the appearance OF things, That
Secretary Smith would take early action
10 compel that corporation TO get off the
grass.
MI IL. II. Martin, in behalf of Chairman
Dalrymple, OF the committee on schools,
announced to the association that it WAS
through Mr.. Dalrymple's efforts that the
American flag was unfurled over each Of
the District school houses on the FoJrth OF
July, but the credit for this patriotic
move was eXpungcd from the record by
single remark: Not one of them foated."
SO stated Mr. ] b. Agate, to the man-
fest embarrassment OF the proposition ad-
vanced by Mr.. Martin.
Two resolutions were presented. One de-
clared, as the sense of the association,
that the most desirable and convenient
site for the proposed new school building
in the northeast section is that lot N
square TIA, which fronts lao feet on the
south side of L street, between Third and
Fourth streets.

Detroit. Mich. Nov. 13.-The general
missionary committee of the Methodist
Episcopal church this morning selected
Philadelphia as the place for holding
its meeting next year. Apportionment
Of appropriation for foreign missions
occupied the remainder of the session,
only two items being disposed of.
The committee appOrtioned $4S,576 to
Japan, a cut of $4,000 over last year,
and $1f,2S5 to Korea, which is about
the same amount az was devoted to
that mission last year.
The most important feature Of the
afternoon session was the report of
the special commission of Africa, which
recommended the adoption of extensive
missions in that country known as
Bishop William Taylor's self-suppOrt-
ing missions and their institution as
regular foreign missions Of the MethO-
dist Episcopal church.
The report also recommended the ap-
preparation of $14,7O0 for Africa, an in
crease of $4,000 over last year. and 1t
was adopted.
The apportionment for the whole of
India was made $134, 400 and $S,036 for
Malaysia. both of which are cut off
4 per cent. The other amounts appor-
toned We're Germany, $l2,3S3: Switzer-
land, $500 and Norway, $l2,70O, all of
which We're reduced.

THE HORSE SHOW.
Immense Audiences Fill Madison
Sauare Garden.

New York, Nov. 13.-.t!e horse show
still lives in popular favor. Society
has filled the boxes and arena seats
all the week and horsemen have been
on hand as usual, but the masses have
not put in an appearance until today
when there were about 5000 people this
afternoon, and fully 10000 people were
present tonight.
The promenade was sea of human
ity and every seat, even in the top
gallery was taken. The occupants of
boxes were, perhaps, trifle less dressy
than on former nights. as Friday night
has come to be regarded as country
cousins night. and the swells of So
ciety remain away. The programme
of the day was one OF the best of the
week. The most SNOWY classes were
judged, and the awarding of champion
ship prizes in the classes for hackney
stations. mares and fillies in the af-
ternoon. and the contest over the high
jump at night made sensational fea-
lures. There was one class for ladies'
saddle horses ridden by ladies only
which brought fourteen fine animals
into the ring, and was captured by
Miss Doremus Chester. The latter was
defeated later by c. l.. Raileys Ken
lucky horse, Patsy McCOrd, which was
given the saddle horse championship
prize.
In the contest of ladies' hunters over
the fence at the end of the afternoon
session. Thomas Hitchcock's horse,
Blue Garter, ridden by William Eng
lish, fell at the barred gate. Eng
lish went underneath and the bars
fell on the horse. English had a mar
row escape from serious injury.

THERE WILL BE NO
WAR WITH SPAIN
Officials at Washinston Annoyed by
Gruesome Tales Of Conflict.
SENIOR De LOME'S cABLEGRAM
Duke DC Tugan Believes the Yarns
IN Reference to War Between the
United States and Spain Arc Started
by Filibusterers..Sccre Lamont
Excited.

Washington, Nov. 13.-To a senator
who called upon him today to inquire
in respect to the war rumors in regard
to Cuba, President Cleveland replied
that the position of this government
was as stated in his last annual mes
sage to congress, one of traditional
sympathy with a people struggling Tor
autonomy and freedom, but neverthe-
less this government felt its plain duty
to honestly fulfill every international
obligation. The president further said
that every precaution had been taken
so that If occasion should arise in Cuba,
the United States could assert itself
with force. but he did not think that
occasion would arise.
Secretary Lamont was more outspok-
en- and expressed his individual opin-
ion that some authoritative statement
should be made to put an end to these
disturbing and unjustitied rumors of
war.
Senor De LONE. Spanish minister, re-
ceived the following cablegram today
from Duke DE Tugan, Spanish minister
of foreign affairs, dated Madrid yes
terday:
The cablegrams from New York and
Washington. published in London re-
ferring to supposed notes of Mr.. Taylor
and the Spanish government are en-
tirely false. There is not the slightest
foundation for such rumors, which are
undoubtedly of filibustering origin"

DARK MURDER MYSTERY.
The Body Of D. 7. Colgrove Is Found 10
q MutiIated Condition Tied 10
Tree in the Woods.

Coudersport, Pa, Nov. 13.-The find
ing of skeleton in the woods in NC
Kean county, about five miles west of
the Potter county line. on Wednesday
by Earl Frank, a pheasant hunter. dis
closes murder and solves the mystery
surrounding the disappearance two
months ago by d. T. COlgrOve. for
whom search was made for three or
four weeks.
The identity OF the skeleton has been
made certain by COlgrOve's brother.
who recognized certain portions of the
clothing. The skull had been severed
from the body and lay at the feet.
while one of the arms was found rod
away.
A rope about the butt of the tree in
dicates that Colgrove was either tor
tured before being killed, or else was
left to die tied to the tree, and after his
death his bones were pulled apart by
wild beasts. If the latter had been the
case, however, it is believed that the
animals would have also torn apart
other portions of the body. The gener-
al belief is that the murder or murder
ers severed the mans head from his
body. The motive for the murder is be-
lieved to have been important secrets
known by COlgrOve, which he refused
to disclose,

SILK THREADS AN AID TO CRIME.
w. y. HaZen Points Out Fallacy in
the Making Of Paper Money.

Washington, Nov. 13.-William p.
Hazen, chief of the secret service,
treasury department. in his annual re-
port expresses the opinion that the
distinctive paper in use for money is
an aid to the criminal rather than a
protection to the public. because of the
fact that note printed upon paper
containing silk threads tas a number
of the best cOunterfeits and all of the
raised notes are) is accepted in ma
jority OF instances without hesitation,
owing tn the erroneous impression that
the paper used by the government is
manufactured by secret process and
cannot be counterfeted.
He has also become convinced that
the Introduction of silk into paper tends
to lessen its wearing quality and is
therefore responsible to degree for
its short life.

He I links the Fifty Year Clause Will
Shut England Out Of the OrinOcO
Country and the Watershed Of the
Cuyani River. Grateful to the
United States.

New York. Nov. 13.-Senor Jose An
drade. minister from Venezuela to the
United States. is at the Hotel Savoy.
and in an extremely happy frame of
mind. his activity In enlisting this
countrys interest in behalf of his coun-
try having borne abundant fruit.
When asked by a representative of
the United Associated Presses whether
the draft or treaty or proposed agree
territory claimed by England had yet
been submitted to him he said:
mo, it Is strictly correct to say that.
In fact, l am not aware that such a
treaty Is yet in existence. In the Or
dinary course it will be submitted to
my government for approval. The
published statement that the treaty
had been drawn and wa, brought here
by me, is not correct. Neither have l
any intention of returning to Caracas
with the treaty.
There is much concerning the nego-
tiatiOns that | cannot speak of, but
may say that Venezuela's claim is prac-
tically conceded; for all we asked from
the start was that the dispute be re-
ferred to a fair tribunal. Lord Sails
bury's recent announcement at the
Lord Mayors banquet, I believe was
brought about by President Cleveland s
firm stand and by the knowledge that
the American commission would and
must render an adverse report"
What will be the effect of the agree
ment of England to a clause requiring
so years occupancy to make a claim to
territory good?
II think it will shut England out of
the Orinoco country and the watershed
of the Cuyaui river and leave her little
of the disputed territory. except. per-
haps the settlements between the Es-
sequibo ana PomerOOn rivers. OF
course, we, as Venezuelans. feel very
grateful for the kind offices of the Uni
ted States and recognize 1t as friend
ly act tending to uphold the Monroe
doctrine and in the interest of justice.
After the findings of the tribunal
are made known must come a perman-
ent treaty between England and Ven
ezuela, which l expect will be realized
before the winter passes. OF those
matters. however, am not at liberty
to sneak"

REV. SADLER'S TROUBLES.
Gets Out an Injunction to Restrain
Pensioners from Locking Church.

Clearfield. Pa. Nov. 13.-RN. b. F..
Sadler. of Burnside. this county, has
a novel religious fight on his hands He
was recently appointed by conference
to be pastor of the Burnside Methodist
Episcopal church. but the congregation
wanted its former pastor. Rev. Mr..
Bryington. and locked the church doors
against the newcomer.
Pastor Sadler was not to be thus cas-
lily set aside. so he appealed to court
and got an injunction restraining the
parishioners from further locking OF
the doors. Now the worshiDpers de-
clare that, since Judge Gordon's court
is to keep the doors and windows of
the church open against the peoples
WILL the court may also provide a con-
gregation. 1t looks as if the victorious
new pastor would have to preach to
empty peWs.
