OPPOSES THE PAYMENT
Court Asked to Prohibit Distribution Of
Money to Puvidsnoe Hospital.
Alleged That Agreements Entered
Treasurer Roberts Defendant.

Ellis H. Roberts. treasurer of the United
States. was this afternoon named as the
defendant in bill in equity filed by Jos.
Bradfield In the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The object of the suit.
Mr.. Bradfield explains. is to procure an
order of the court enjoining and restrain
ing Treasurer Roberts from paying or de-
livering to any officer or agent of Provi-
dence Hospital, or the directors of Provi-
dence Hospital, of the city of Washington
District of Columbia, or to any person
whatsoever, for the use and benefit of
the same, ally money belonging to the
United States or to the District of Column

geon general of the army and the directors
OF the hospital under color OF an authority

treatment OF ninety-fve medical and sur
glcai patients, who are destitute, contain
ed IN the sundry civil act of June last;

Continuing. Mr.. Bradfield says that Prov

belief, Of a monastic order, or sisterhood

invested specially with full power and all
the rights of opening and keeping a hos
pital in the city of Washington for the
care of such sick and invalid persons as
may place themselves under the treatment
and care of the corporation"
In view of the sectarian character of the
hospital and the specific and limited object
of it's erection, Mr.. Bradfield goes on to say
the contract with the surgeon general and
the agreement with the Commissioners are
unauthorized by law, and, moreover,
involves a principle and a precedent
for the appropriation of the funds
of the United States for the use and
support of the religious societies contrary
to the article of the Constitution, which de-
clares that Congress shall make no law re-
speeding a religious establishment, and
also a precedent for giving to religious So
cieties legal agency in carrying into eff
feet a public and civil duty, which would,
il once established, says Mr.. Bradfield,
speedily obli.erate the essential difference
between civil and religious func tons.
in conclusion, Mr.. Bradfleld declares
that he and all other citizens and taxpayers
of the United States are injured by reason
of the contract and agreement whereof
the public funds are being used and pledg
ed for the advancement and support of a
private and sectarian corporation. There
fore. the court is asked to enjoin and re-
strain Treasurer Roberts, as stated.

MORE HORSE, LESS SOCIETY.
New Feature of New YOrk's Equine
niaulov

NEW YORK, November 17.-For the first
time since the opening Of the horse show
the weather today was propitious. The fog
and rain of Monday and Tuesday gave
place 10 sunshine and sharp, crisp air, and
this ideal November weather brought with
it ideal attendance at ,he show.
While the attendance of social lions has
rot been SO much a feature this year as
last, the improved quality of the horses
appears to have made up for the deficiency.
In fact, the horse show of 1897, judging
by the first half of its career, is more
worthy of its name than have been those
of previous years. The most remarkable
features of the awards has been the phe-
nomenal success of Charles F. Bates He
has literally carried everything before him
in the classes in which he had entries.
The horses are enjoying the show as
quarters than ever. before, and all the
latest stable inventions have been utilized
for their comfort. The general arrange
ments. too. have proved satisfactory with
the exception, perhaps. of some delay in
judging. The exhibitors, however, express
themselves as satisfied with the conclu-
sions reached by the judges, and the
changes made in this department since
last year appear to have been productive
of good results.
The influence of the fine weather today
seemed to permeate the ring. in which the
saddle horses and trotters took an early
turn, getting into trim for the days
Judging. The animals seemed delighted
with the opportunity to gallop and canter
on the soft tanbark. Today's show had
many attractive features, including the
judging Of thoroughbred stations and fillies,
the judging of trotters who hold records of

and the judging of horses carts and har-
Eess of Col. Warnings street cleaning de-
partment. The trotters' class was well
represented. TIE ponies under saddle and

the program.

tional Horse Show Association. and A.

latter number comprises the fusionists

cans who have not said they would vote
for Mr.. Hanna. 1t now develops that the
fusionist candidates from Cincinnati report

Democrats VIII Not Combine.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
COLUMBUS. Ohio. November I7.-Sena-
tor II. E. Valentine of Bucyrus and Repre-
sentative j. II. Heyde of Miilersburg, demo-
cratic members of the new general assem-
bly,. are out in interviews expressing them
selves as unalterably opposed to the prcpo-
sition to unite the democratic forces wi h
the ant-Hanna republicans to accomplish
the defeat of Senator Hanna They say
they will not vote for republican for
United States senator for this or any other
purpose. As every democratic vote would
be needed TO make the proposed combina-
ton to defeat Hanna successful, this seems
10 block the game. and in connection vii I,
the fact that the five fusion republicans,
from Cincinnati have registered themselves
as straight-out republicans. ought to put ali
end TO the stories that have been sen. out
from here daily for the last two weeks,
that the anti-Hanna republicans were plan
ming to defeat the senator and were sure
TO succeed.
So far no republican who will have a
voice in the election of United States
senator has announced that he will not
vote for Mr.. Hanna. II any republican
legislator intends to vote against him ne
has not yet found voice and courage to ex-
press 1t. rne republicans now have fifteen
majority on joint ballot.
