Washington is to hold Peace Carnival.
This was decided at meeting OF the
hoard of directors OF the Washington
Business Mems Association. held last
evening, and May 1893, selected as the
date
Itis intended that this celebration shall
eclipse all others held In this country.
The full board was present last night,
and resolutions providing for the appoint
ment OF a committee and embodying the
foregoing were adopted as follows:
Whereas several of our larger cities
have held very successful so-called
Peace Jubaees" before peace had actu-
ally been declared between the United
States and Spain; and
Whereas articles of peace have now
been practically agreed upon. II is most
appropriate and fitting that this city, the
National Capital, should in some positive
manner celebrate the cessation of HOSTILE
ties between the two great nations, the
victories of the army and navy of our
country on foreign waters and in far-dis-
tant lands and the freedom from oppres-
sion of many peoples; therefore,
he 1t resolved, 'l1fdI IL Is the sense OF
the board of directors of the Business
Mems Association of Washington, d. G..
that the citizens of the District of CO.
lumbia should and can with great credit
to themselves carry out the spirit Of the
above preamble some time during the
spring months of the coming year.
Resolved. That to this end the chair
man will name Il committee of five, OF
which committee he shall be q member, to
take into immediate consideration ar
rangements for Peace Carnival in this
city during the month of May.
Resolved, That this committee be in

THE NORTHERN LIBERTY
MARKET HOUSE CLAIMS
The commissioners RecOmme end
Payment According to Auditor
Payne's Decision.

The old Northern Liberty Market claims
which have engrossed official and public
attention since the forcible tearing down
of the structure in 1873, gave 1t promi-
nent place in the annals OF the modern
Washington, was yesterday the subject of
letter to Speaker Reed from the District
Commissioners.
The latter officials yesterday, in comp!i-
ance with the act of Congress of July 19
1897. transmitted to the Speaker OF the
House of Representatives the findings of
the auditor of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia in the case of the
claims arising from the destruction of the
market September ,, 1872
The original amount of the claims was
S5S2, ,2l5. After taking Voluminous testi-
mony Auditor Payne has reduced the
amount TO s12S.57S.5o. He was engaged in
this work from January 1897, TO November
of the present year. The Commissioners
state that they consider the findings of the
auditor reasonable and just and they rec
ommend the payment of such amounts as
he has allowed.
They also recommend that the sum of
$6, coo be allowed the auditor as compen-
sation in connection with the important
work which he has done.

FIFTEEN NEW WAR VESSELS
Cruisers and Nine Other Vessels Rec
ommsnded By Conm

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.-The naval
committee of the house has practically
decided to bring in bill for the con-
struction Of Is new naval vessels. Also
to increase the enlisted force of the
navy as recommended by Secretary
Long to 10000 men. The naval COM
mittee does not wish to be behind the
military committee Of the house in car
rying out the presidents recommended
tions and it is expected that bill will
soon be ready for the house.
The new construction is for three bat
tie ships of 13, 500 tons and great steam
ing radius; three $4,000 ton armored
cruisers; three 5000 ton armored crtlis-
ers, and six protected cruisers of $500
tons each, for service in the waters
around our insular possessions. These
were recommended by the bureau of
construction, and while the committee
had not finally acted upon the matter
the fact that it will do SO has been
very clearly indicated at the two in
formal meetings of the committee held
this week.
