ANTI-sALooN LEAGUE.
Fifth Anniversary of the Society to

The fifth anniversary Of the organiza-
ton of the Anu-saloou League Of the
District of Columbia will be celebrated
this evening at the First Congregational
Church. An interesting musical program
has been arranged and there will be ad-
dresses delivered by Mr.. Albert E Shoe

chaplain of the House OF Representatives.
The formation OF the local Anti-Saloon
League. five years ago. marked an epoch
in the history Of the battle against Inten-
perance in Washington. It emblazoned
on its banners as its motto The saloons
must GO. Its success along this line may
be learned from the statement that since
the year 1893 the number of licensed sa-
looms has reduced from 619 TO 5i7 in 1897.
Before the organization of the league
the various temperance bodies in the city
worked separately, but now are united
under one banner, to fight the commoR

on Porto Rico or Cuba until full and
definite information is received as TO
the location of the Spanish squadron,
and its possibilities as a factor in the
aggressive movements of Spain. Iha1
being the positive determination, there
is no present purpose to hurry the
troops now at the several points Of con-
centrauon. but the interval prior to an
aggressive forward movement will be
employed in seasoning the men. Steps
have been taken to secure early 1nIor-
nation as to whether Admiral Cervera S
squadron is inside Santiago harbor and
whether the American squadron has
such advantage of position outside the
harbor as to make the Grape OF the
Spaniards practically impossible.
Unless the navy department succeeds
in securing some direct and official in
formation respecting the Spanish and
the American fleets within tn next "a
hours, through the aid of the West
Indian cables, it will resort to the use
of dispatch boats. 1t can be again af-
firmed on the highest authority and
Notwithstanding all rumors to the con-
trary, that at the close CT the day the
department had nothing more than a
belief, founded on unofficial advices,
that the Spanish squadron was lying in
Santiago harbor and no news as to
Commodore Schley's whereabouts.

present recommendation was signed by
thirteen out of eighteen committeeman
now present, two having seeded from
the first minority report, and that two
absent members had approved.
DR.. Bryan, of Chicago, claimed that
the question was one Of constitution,
not one of doctrine; that to adopt the
majority report was to condemn a man
unheard. He said the assembly was
not competent to pass judgment, few
having read the book, and he depre-
Gated a Presbyterian index expugator-
ius He foresaw that the majority re-
port would be futile, since the accused
might reply: Il will not go out, put
me out" He said that the first minor
ity report did not prejudice the case,
but followed constitutional lines, and
would give the accused chance to ex-
plain the views expressed in the book.
DR.. Brown said that certain teachings
Of the book were alleged
TO BE ERRONEOUS
and that The second minority report
put the stamp of the assembly's disap-
proval upon any such teachings. He
said the time was not oppCrtune TO In
vestigate these charges now as the
church needed all its energy to prose-
cute the work before it. The report did
not condemn the man unheard, but did
condemn the erroneous opinions alleg-
ed to be contained in the book.
He said all forward movements were
accompanied by disturbances, citing
conflicts over geology, evolution, bibli-
cal chronology, but that in comparison
with European scholars Prof. McGiffert
was conservative He added that such
actions as that proposed by the major
ity would tend to repel young men from
entering the ministry of the Presbyter-
ian church and that it would lead to a
agitation prejudicial to the
progress of the church. He closed by
stating that DR.. McGiffert was loyal to
his subscription to the great funda-
mental doctrines of the church.
After a brief discussion by commits
sioners, vote was taken. That for
DR.. Browns report recommending no
action was considerably in volume.
That for a heresy trial in New York
was much smaller, while the majority
report was adopted by large majority
and the case was at an end.

SENATOR G0RMAN
Delivers a Notable Address on the
War Revenue Measure.

Washington, May PA notable
speech on the war revenue measure
was delivered in the Senate this after
noon by Mr.. German Dem, Md. In
the course of an argument in support
of tax on corporations, he denounced
as infamous the decision Of the
Supreme Court declaring the income
tax law of 1894 as unconstitutional.
The warning sounded by some Sena-
tors that if a tax were placed upon
corporations it would be pronounced
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court
had he said, no effect upon him. A
decision against such an enactment
would not destroy our financial struc-
ture. but it would destroy the court
which would hand it down. Mr. Cor
man took decided issue with the ma
iority of his fellow Democrats upon
their proposition to coin the silver
seigniorage and to issue legal tender
notes, and made powerful argu-
ment in favor of the issuance of bonds
to raise funds with which to prose-
cute the war
Mr.. Teller (Silver Rep, Colo) con-
cluded his speech begun yesterday.
advocating the coinage of the seig-
nioragc. the levying Of an income tax
and the issue of legal tender notes and
opposing the issue of bonds. Mr..
Nelson (Rep., Mimi presented a
carefully prepared argument against
the issue of legal tender notes. In a
speech of two hours, Mr.. Cockrell

question in contention between the
Democratic and Republican parties.

COLORED OFFICERS,
Where They Appear Capable, Will
Command Colored Organizations OF
Troops.

Washington, May PA number OF
minor points coming up constantly in
relation to the second call for volun-
teers are being passed upon in a gen.
eral way at this time. For instance,
the question arose to-day as to whether
colored officers as we'll as colored troops
would be taken as part OF the organ

decided that if a colored company had
efficient soldierly colored officers they
were as much entitled to recognition
and acceptance in the military service
as were che troops themselves. He made
this known in dispatch to the govern
or of Indiana, who had asked for infor-
nation, and he stated the same thing to
Representative Hull, of Iowa, who has
an organization of colored men with
colored officers in his district In this
connection, it developed that colored
men are being considered for some of
the staff appointments, and the sur
geon general Of the army has accepted
a colored man as surgeon, with the
rank CT captain. The colored surgeon
will be assigned to a colored regiment
and colored troops and colored officers
will be kept together as far as posi-

feasibility of using that novel craft in an
attack upon the Spanish squadron at
Santiago if the vessels are still there.
The officials are disposed to receive in a
kindly spirit any suggestion that might
prove to be valuable in this line, and they
will talk with Mr.. Holland over the de-
tails of the scheme, probably on the basis
of a compensation to be paid him for

Parkersburg, w. Va, May 27.-The
most fiendish and brutal crime since
the deeds committed by Sherman
Easley, now serving term in the pen
itentiary, was committed near Park
ersburg this afternoon. An unknown
tramp who was seen loafing about
Vests mills, short distance above
this city, on the Little Kanawha river,
committed a criminal assault upon the
little Seven year-old daughter of John
W. Charleton, who resides on a house
boat near the mill. While the little
tot was playing upon a sawdust pile
near her home the fiend seized her and
accomplished his brutal designs. Her
screams brought her mother to her res
cue just in time to see the man fleeing.
The father who works nearby, and a
physician were hastily summoned and
a posse has been securing the country
in search of the villain, who is de-
scribed as a man about feet 9 inches
tall, slim built, dark hair, black mus
tacte, dark clothes, black cap, small
dark eyes, and Roman nose. The au-
thor1ties are keeping the matter very
quiet in the hope of falling the brute
before his arrest becomes known, as it
is feared he will be lynched if he is
caught 1t is thought the fend left the
place on a freight train.
