THEosoPHY AND EVOLUTION.
The Eastern Sa.es Ahead of La
marck and Darwin.

The Eastern Sages Ahead of La
marcI and Darwin.
Major James Albert Clark opened the
lecture season of the Theosophical So
ciety last night, his subject being THE
Theosophy of an Evolutionist."
Referring to the recent enunciations
through the societies for the advance
ment of Science in England and America,
that evolution had now become an estab-
lished fact, the lecturer quoted from the
Sanscrit literature, showing a system of
thought to the same end, which was
accepted by the culture of the East thou
sands of years before Christ, and to
which, barring a few notifications, Theos-
ophists have given assent But literal
Darwinism. said the speaker, is not ac-
cepted IN some of its details Mocha
marckism, he said, fills a gap here and
there, and Prof. Weissman, who leads
a camp of opposite thought in minor de-
tails, is more in accord with the wisdom
transmitted from the East. Wallace,
Crookes. LIE Conte and others reach con-
clusions acceptable 10 students of the
Oriental cult. and speaking generally, the
definition of Prof. lie Conte seems the
most acceptable of all.
Major Clark said: Evolution is a con-
tinuous progressive change, according TO
certain laws, and by means of resident
forces. Nevertheless, differing in details
only Theosophists have found 1t difhcuit
to find anywhere a nobler statement of
the profound mystery of life than is to
be found in the writings Of Darwin, HuX-
ley, and Herbert Spencer
In its aspect toward religious matters,
Rev. Lyman Abbot seems TO have eX-
pressed in a few words the tendency Of
the day:
When the whole scientific and intel
lectual world is moving in one direction
the minister who is not a scientific eX-
merit may get himself run over, but he
cannot stop tEe procession by getting In
front of it. Evolution is today accepted
as the clew in their Investigations by all
teachers, in all departments, in. all col
leges and institutions of learning, except
possibly in the department of theology.

SENIOR MENDONCA SUED.
A New York FIRMS Claim Against
the Former Brazilian Minister.


Suit was filed Saturday in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia against
Salvador de Mendonca for the collection
of sS257.07 due on promissory note made
by him in New York, August Is, 1896,
in favor of B. Altman & Co, and payable
at the banking house of Lewis Johnson
& Co, of this city.
The plaintiffs, B. Altman & Co., of New
York city, state in their complaint that
the amount named is due for goods sold
and delivered TO Salvador de Mendonca,
and for work done and delivered and
for money loaned, and also for money
received by the defendant for the use
of the plaintiff. Altman also states that
his firm deals in dry goods. carpets and
house furnishings in New York, and that
he sold and delivered to the defendant
Mendonca various articles to the amount
sued for. That in payment he gave his
note which is attached as part of the
declaration of Altman e. Co., payable in
ninety days at Lewis Johnson's banking
house in Washington, but that upon its
being presented for payment was dishon-
ored and still remains due.
In the affidavit of Robert T. Fowler,
manager for b. Altman & Co, he states
that Salvador de Mendonca is citizen of
the Republic of Brazil, and was lately
accredited its minister to the United
States, and is now temporarily residing
in Portugal, Europe
Senior Mendonca is at present accredit-
ed as minister plenipotentiary to Portu-
gal from Brazil A reporter for The Times
called at the residence of Senior ManeOl
de Lima, the first secretary of the Bra
lillian legation, to get information rela-
tive TO the suit. Senior de Lima said:
II know nothing of the suit or the
cause of it Senior Mendonca has not
been the minister from Brazil to the
United States for about five months, hav-
ing been transferred to Lisbon on the
18th of May The sum named in the bill
is very large one, and it was probably
contracted to furnish the house which
the former minister occupied on Con-
necticut Avenue, and is an entirely pri-
vate matter, having no connection with
the affairs of the legation. AT that time
the legation officers were at the residence
of the minister and the expense of them
was borne by him Last January the
government authorized Senior Mendonca
to find separate quarters for the members
of the legation and its offices, which
was done. AS / understand il, my gov
ernment is in no way responsible for the
payment of the bill. Senior Mendonca is
now in Portugal. but / see by home pa
pers that he has been recalled and will
leave Lisbon for home in a few days.
The present minister from Brazil is Sen
hor Assis Brazil. He has just arrived in
this country, and l am sure, knows moth
ing of the matter before the courts"

Major Richard Sylvester chief Of police, Satur-
day received the following report from Hon.

charge the work of securing employment for
the District Volunteers:

were duly notified to meet in the red parlor OF
the Ebbitt House for the purpose OF Organization
and consultation OF the sixty-one gentlemen

doubt number of the others were absent from

at room 81 in the Atlantic Building which was
generously donated to the committee by the At
antic Building Company. l.. II. Vinton was an
pointed clerk for the subcommittee register
was purchased in which the names of all those
seeking employment their age where they re-
sided, what kind OF labor they sought and what
reference they had, were kept in said register
''Cards giving the same detail were also made
circular letter was printed addressed to such of
citizens could give employment which
recommended the applicant entitled to receive re-
cognition. The headquarters were kept open for
three weeks, Mr.. Vinton being constantly in at
tendance while l was there every day more or
less as the occasion would require. The other
members OF the said committee while in the city
were also in attendance from time to time No
effort was spared to comply and carry out the
wishes of yourself and the friends of the soldiers
One hundred and two applications were made to
our committee, consisting of ninety-six males

following manner: Tradesman, twenty four; no

''At the navy yard they declin d to give employ
ment unless the soldiers were longer in the
public service. We also tried to secure employ
ment for some female applicants in the Agricul-
tural Department, and in the general pOstotfce
where the postoftice mail pouches are made, but
with no success. Several liberal merchants who
had volunteered to give employment have come
up to their promises far as it was possible
for them to do so. Messrs. Saks 4 Co, MeSsrs.

Co and Woodward & Lothrop have employed sol
diers or relatives of soldiers, having volunteered
to do so, without solicitation.
''In this way twenty eight have been employed
by and through efforts of our committee Con-
sidering the circumstances we think IL Is a very
good showing and reflects great credit upon the
generosity and public spirit of those several
houses and persons who have aided us. 1t Will be
seen from the register that a very large per
centage were without any particular trade which
makes it very hard to secure employment Several
were non-residents of the District. although they
were members of the regiment, and unfortunately
could give no reference outside OF their merits IN
the regiment, and merchants, while patriotic,
could not take into their business people about

having exhausted every avenue to secure employ
ment deems it best to turn over 10 you all the
papers in connection Herewith, assuring you that
what they have done has been in the spirit for

that the volume of success was not as large as
it should have been. We respectfully suggest

SLAYER sTRATHER's APPEAL.
Important Points TO BE Decided by
the Supreme Court.


One of the most important matters
which will demand the attention of the
Supreme Court OF the United States when
it convenes for the Fall term today VIII
be the appeal of William NJ. Strather,
the murderer Of Rosa Tolbert, who will
petition the court to review the proceed
ings of the Court of Appeals and the Su-
preme Court of the District in connection
with his conviction and sentence to
death.
The case has become one OF national
s-s,utation and Importance because of the
questions of law involved, and the opinion
handed down viii be anxiously awaited.
As has already been stated in The
Times, Strather's attorney, Samuel D.
Truett, appealed to the Court of Appeals
for the District upon exceptions to the
charge Of Mr.. Justice Bradley, who pre-
rided at the trial When the matter was
heard in the Court of Appeals the major
ity of the bench affirmed the opinion of
the lower court, but Mr.. Justice Shepard
dissented, and in justifying his position
made very elaborate review of the law
pertaining 10 the case. Since this dis
senting opinion has been made a matter
OF record the courts in several States
have stayed the execution of murderers
convicted under similar charges to that
under which Strather was found guilty.
So it is that the decision which the Su-
preme Court viii render in this case is of
q great deal more than local Importance.
The fate of Winston and Smith, con-
victed OF murder, also hangs on the de-
cision in the Strather case, and for this
reason they have Joined in his petition to
the Supreme Court TO review the decision
OF the lower courts.
While all possible haste will be made
in the matter. ii is not probable that the
upper court viii conclude its investiga ton
Of the case for ten days or more.
The leading attorney in the case Mr.
Truett, has not yet been admitted TO prac-
tice before the Supreme Court of the
United States, but will be presented to-
