In the absence of the American minister
the charge daffaires, Mr.. w. U. Russell,
opened the doors of his hospitable domicile,
where a most cordial reception was held.
The visitors seemed more numerous than
the previous year. due perhaps to the pro-
verbal amiability of the host.
A buffet bountifully provided with viands
and wines encouraged the toasting to I'm
Gle Sam, who will surely live to a ripe old
age if quantity and quality of toasts count
for aught

CHARLES wEssL1NG's CASE.
Naturalized German Likely to BecOn

Naturalized German Likely to Become
Source of Trouble With Germany.
Ambassador White is just now giving
close attention to matter which promises
to involve some diplomatic complications.
1t is the case Of Alfred Wessling, son of
a raturaHzed American citizen, Charles
Wessling of New York. Young Wessling.
while visiting Germany last spring, was
drafted into the German army. He pro-
tested and proved that he had made a
formal declaration of his intention to be-
come a citizen of the United States. al
though his naturalization had not been
perfected.
His protest was absolutely ignored, and
he was enrolled in the Seventy-fourth
Regiment, stationed in Hanover. Recently
for the petty offense of chatting, he was
struck violent blow by his sergeant. En-
ragged at the injustice young Wessling
felled his tormentor to the ground and
fled Late at night he reached the United
States consulate in the city of Hanover,
completely tagged out and half starved.
United States Consul Crane persuaded
him to surrender to the authorities and
he is now awaiting trial on a charge Of as
saulting his superior.
This offense is punishable in war time
by summary execution after court-martial,
and in time of peace by several years Inn
prisonment.
Ambassador White is endeavoring to Sc
cure his release.

BUSINESS MEN ORGANIZE.

WashfngtOn Division of Travellers
Protective Association Formed.
Temporary organization Of a division of
the Travellers Protective Association was
formed at the Metropolitan Hotel last
evening by National President of the Asso-
citation Joseph Wallerstein of Richmond
Va. Owing to the fact that many of the
men expected to be present were out of
town, only temporary organization was eff
fected, as 1t is required that at least
twenty-five be present for the regular
formation of division. 1t was stated last
night, however, that more than the requi-
site number had signified their intention of
becoming members, and would do so at the
next meeting.
as there can be but one for the District, it
was deemed best to make it a division at
the start.
After the objects of the association had
been fully explained by President Waller
stein. the views of those present were
heard. and it was the unanimous opinion
that Washington's trade would be greatly
benefited by the organization here Of a
post division of the association.
The objects of the association are:
First, to secure the repeal of all NUM-
cipal. county, state or territorial laws i'm
posing or enforcing a license tax on COM
mercial travellers; second. to secure recog-
nitiohs from railroads. and obtain as IA
vorable terms on transportation and bag
gage as are given to any other class of
travellers. and to adjust all differences be-
tween railroads and commercial travellers
on fair, equitable business basis; third
to secure hotel accommodations commen-
surate with price paid; fourth, to elevate
the social and moral character of CONNER
cial travellers as a profession, and to bring
about the better acquaintance of members;
fifth, to provide a benefit fund in case of
death by accident or injury by accident;
sixth, to secure business connections for
unemployed members.
Any white person of good moral char
acter, not under the age of eighteen years
or over sixty years. engaged as CONNER
cial traveller. as buyer or seller for whole
sale commission house or manufacturer,
or any wholesale dealer, importer COM
mission merchant or manufacturer, Is ell
gible to membership in the association.
The dues are $40 year, with 81 initiation
fee. The sum of $1,000 Is paid the family
of member in case Of death by accident,
and SO week to each member during
sickness.
Isaac Cans Of Lansburgh & Bros estab-
ishment was elected temporary president,
and r. p. Andrews of r. p. Andrews &
Co. temporary secretary. A committee
was appointed to call upon eligibles and
ask them to become members of the asso-
citation. This committee was composed of
X. P. Andrews, C. b. Fonda and j. w.
Somerville.
A meeting will be called when twenty
five names have been secured. and perma-
nent organization will be effected
1t is thought that the association will be
of great help to Washington business men
In many ways, but particularly in the mat
ter of freight rates on railroad and steam
boat lines.
