HATS WITHOUT BIRDS.
Fashionable Women Criticized in
the OrinthoIOgists' Convention

The second days session of the Orni-
biologists Congress opened in the Ma
tional Museum at II O'Clock yesterday
morning. and concluded with an evening
session last night. at the Central High
School
The afternon and evening sessions were
both accompanied by ste.eopticon views
and the subject of bird life was present
ed most entertainingly.
At the morning session the report of
Wilmer Stone. chairman of the commit
tee on the protection of birds. which fol-
lowed several purely scientific papers,
was the most interesting to the general
public.
Mr.. Stone said that there had been lit
tie done in the United States for the pro-
lection Of birds from slaughter for mil
linery and other purposes other than for
food
The committee has come TO the conclu-
sion that the present generation of fash
ionable women cannot be reached by ar
guments in favor of the life of the help
less little birds, and concludes that the
only way to reach them is by the passage
of the bill now before Congress to pro-
,hibit the importation of birds for mil
linery purposes.

THE MEDALS PRESENTED
District Troops Honored for
Their ValOr.
COL. HARRIES WAS KISSED
Convention Hall Beautifully Decor
ated and Crowded With People
President Mckinley Makes n
speech - Charles b. Hanford Re-
citc.-Naior Ureli the Days Hero.
IAN mankind loves vaior. $

IAN mankind loves valor''
These simple words, spoken by Presi-
dent Mckinley TO the men of the FIRST
District Volunteers after the medal pre-
sentation yesterday afternoon, contain
the full spirit which caused so remarka-
BILE a demonstration by the citizens of
Washington.
II was the spirit of whole-souled appre-
citation of manly action and soldierly
valor on the part of the ciu-
zens of the capital of great nation in
honor of the boys who endured hard
ships and braved danger In a war for
humanity and the Riding of the western
Hemisphere of monarchical tyranny.
Washington has on several previ6cs oc-
casions turned out en- masse to do honor
to these same men. notably on the coca
sion of their departure from the ,ity last
May and again when they returned from
the war on September last.
The vast auditorium of Convention Hall
was crowded and the audience WIS an
enthusiastic one.
The ceremonies attending the presenta-
tion of the badges were brief and simple,
yet during that short interval of time
several unexpected numbers were Inserted
perforce into the program of the day by
the men of the regiment and many of
those who had gathered 10 do them
honor.
Col. Harries Was Kissed.
These incidents, including the kissing
OF a colonel of volunteers by the men he
commanded in war, and, as if this we're
not sufficient evidence of disapproval. the
acclamation OF a subordinate officer as
the officer hero of the regiment.
Reference is here made to the Kisses
which greeted Col. Harries several times
during the ceremonies and the plaudits
which were showered upon Major VI.
Emmet Urell, the popular commander of
the First Battalion of the regiment when
that officer stepped to the center of the
platform, accompanied by his aides. TO ie-
ceive medal of honor from District
Commissioner Wight.
Chaplain Dudley. the spiritual adviser
of the men composing the regiment dur
Ing their term of service, was also greet
ed with Kisses when he stepped forward
10 receive his medal. The secret of the
dlsapproval of the regiment In his case
has been told in The Times previously,
and includes in brief the charge that he
failed to visit and comfort 'he sick of
the regiment when en- route from sam
tiago TO Montauk Point.
The presentation ceremonies began with
the arrival of the regiment shortly after
4 o'clock. An hour before that time the
streets leading in the direction of Conyen-
ton Hall were alive with people. The i'm
mediate vicinity OF the great structure
was soon a scene of hurry and hustle as
result of the arrival of so many persons
and before the ceremonies began in the
interior large crowd was turned from
the doors on the outside through inability
of the crowd to gain admission. This con-
tingent of disappointed ones found some
consolation in an opportunity of viewing
the regiment when il reached the hall
after the march from the armory down
town, and were subsequently rewarded

Hams Not Properly Packed.

Consul General Seeger, of Rio de ia
neiro, in his annual report to the State
Department. says that the reason why
hams are not more largely imported from
the United States is that they are not
properly packed for the Rio market. He
has been told that a great many of the
so-called English hams sold there orig
mated in Chicago packing houses and go

pose of being repacked to suit the Bra

Soldiers of the First District of Column

join your fellow citizens in participating
in the service which gives honor to this
regiment.
1t was my good fortune to look into
your faces before you started for the
front 1t was my good fortune to look into
your faces when you returned.
When you started 1 was filled with
hope. When you returned 1 had a feel
ing of full realization that you had quite
performed the high expectation | had for
you.
All mankind admires valor. This regi-
ment did its whole duty and that is all
you can say of any soldier. You went
where you were ordered, loyal and un-
murmuringly. You did every duty. assign
ed you and you come back from the field
and exposure with new honor added to
the flag which you carried for your coun-
try.
Il am glad it is possible to muster you
out, and yet l regret very much to see
this splendid body of men leave. I only
console myself. in standing here in the
very threshold of your muster out. with
the feeling that if your country should
need you the day after tomorrow every
man will be ready to march to the front"
The speech of the President was Justify
applauded by the members of the regi-
ment, and at its conclusion was greeted
with cheers and cries of I'VE will.''

Reason for Publicity Of Instructions to
Spanish Peace Commissioners.
WAsHINaToH, Sept: 2S.-The freedom
with which the Spanish minister of
foreign affairs, tho Duke Almodevar de
R.o. has given publicity TO the instruc.
tions Of the Spanish peace commits.
sioners as to the disposition OF the
Philippines, has given rise to the sus.
picion among the officials, here that
there is behind it deliberate purpose
to draw ont in advance the position of
the American commissioners on the
most important points The Spanish
government has usually waited for the
American government to make move.
There seems also to be yelled threat.
in the last instructions, not to allow
the United States to interfere with the
jurisdiction of any islands, except those
retained by the United States, such as
Luzon, that Spain may sec fit 10 make.
This is thought to SLOW disposition;
on the part OF some continental power
to step forward to the support Of Spain
in her extremity in the hope of leceiv.
ing as a quid pro quo some part of the
Philippines as a coai!ng station.
