SALISBURY REPLIES TO THE CAR.
Heartily in Accord With HIS ProposaI
for Disarmament

A dispatch from London last night says:
The reply Of Lord Salisbury to the pro-
posal Of Emperor Nicholas for a disarma-
ment conference Of the powers, which is
just published, promises the cordial CO.
operation Of the British government and
asks for an indication Of the heads of the
discussion at the conference.
In the course of the document, which
was transmitted through the Rt. Hon. Sir
Charles Stewart Scott. British ambassador
at st. Petersburg, Lord Salisbury assures
the car Of the governments cordial SYM
pathy. He goes on to say:
This sympathy is not confined to the
government, but is equally shared by popu-
lar opinion, which has been strikingly man
ifested by the numerous resolutions adopt
ed by public meetings and societies. There
are, indeed, few nations, II any, which,
both on grounds of feeling and interest are
more concerned in the maintenance of gen.
eral peace than Great Britain. The state
ments which constitute the grounds of the
emperors proposal are but too we'll justi-
fed. 1t Is. unfortunately, true that. while
desire for the maintenancesof peace is
generally professed, and while in fact Sc
rious and successful Efforts ON more than
one recent occasion. have been made with
that object by the great powers, there has
been constant tendency on the part of
almost every nation to increase Its armed

SIGHT-SINGING CLASS.
Mr.. HaIIam's Interesting Talk Before
the Choral Society.

the Choral Society.
The address given at Carroll Institute
Hall last Tuesday evening to the members
of the Choral Society and others interest
ed by Mr.. Alfred Hallam, the principal as
sistant of Mr.. FRANK Damrosch in mis- very
remarkable work in New York city in con-
nection with the Peoples Choral Union,
was exceedingly interesting. Though we'll
attended, it was unfortunate that it had to
be given without better advertisement.
Mr.. Hallam described the nature of the
work carried on in New York city in the
organization of sight-singing classes, and
indicated the lines that would be followed
by Mr.. II. H. Freeman in conducting the
sight-singing class, which, though open to
all at the same nominal price as is charged
in New York, will be conducted here I'M
der the auspices of the Choral Society.
This will commence next Monday night at
Z o'clock at Carroll Institute Hail.
The work began five years ago in New
York city. AS organized at the present
time there are eleven elementary classes
meeting weekly in various parts OF the
city on Sunday afternoons, and comprising
a total membership of about 600 persons
Commencing with no knowledge of music
whatever. these classes at the end of the
season give combined concert and the
next year those having sufficient proficiency
enter one of the two advanced classes
present membership of about $50 and at
the end of the second year are qualified
for membership in the Peoples Choral
Union, present membership about go, Civ
ing phenomenally successful renditions of
the most difficult oratorio compositions.
1t may be said that the Damrosch
method of sight singing is remarkable for
its simplicity, thoroughness and its founda-
ton in mere common sense.
Mr.. Hallam began his address by saving
that the printed page is not language, but
the sign for language, and so likewise the
printed score is not music, but the sign for
music. We read the papers, and seeing the
word dog" at once we have mental pic
ture of that particular animal and no other
our music scores as often as We read our
daily papers. each particular note, like the
letters forming the word dog would be
to the eye visible sign suggesting at once
TO the ear the corresponding note. There
would be absolutely no hesitation about it,
We know, we do not guess, that these
three letters signify the particular animal
and so likewise by practice we would come
to know, not guess, at sight, that certain
note OF the staff corresponds to a certain
sound. AS Mr.. Hallam justly remarks. IF
any tone is not in your mind it will not
come out of your mouth"
The explanations We're most lucid and
greatly encouraged the members of the
Choral Society in their organization of this
class. 1t is expected to start out with not
less than a hundred members.

Gov. Roosevelt Takes n Trip on q

A dispatch from New York yesterday
says: Gov. Roosevelt came to this city from
Albany this afternoon in the cab Of a loco
motive. He had intended to take the 2:35
train from Albany, but 1t was late, and as
he had arranged to meet several persons,
he was much chagrined at the delay. The
locomotive Mohawk was placed at the dis
posal OF the governor, and he climbed into
the cab of the engine at 2 o'clock
He arrived at the Grand Central depot at
BOB, making the run in three hours and
three minutes. The ride was a thrilling one,
at times the engine making record breakin
speed, and the governor was delighted with
the experience

PROPOSED TO WALK HOME.
Little Margaret Garrett's Escapade
Ends Satisfactorily.

Margaret Esther Garrett, fourteen years
old. went to the Baltimore and Potomac
depot this morning, with the intention of
walking the railway ties to her home in
Leesburg Yesterday she ran away because
of an imaginary wrong, and one nights eX
perience was enough for her. Fortunately
for the child, Detective Cochran found her
before she started, and this afternoon she
returned home with her father on the train.
Margaret is pretty little child and was
neatly dressed. When she decided yester-
day that she was tired of living in Lees
burg she concluded she would come here.
She had an aunt living in the city, whom
she knew would care for her if she could
not find employment. To get a place in a
private family she thought would be an
easy matter, and SO she left her home, with
the full knowledge that she going out
on the wide world. She knew if she
boarded the train at Leesburg, where she
was known, her departure would create
little gossip. and she walked to the first
station below, a distance of about three
miles and there took passage on the cars.
Reaching the city, she learned of the loca-
ton OF an employment agency, and called
there to register her name as an applicant
for position. Her application was not re-
ceived, as she did not have the 81 to pay
the registration fee charged. Then she
sought the columns of a newspaper and
learned from them that Mr.. John Espey,
a resident of Northeast Washington,
wanted to employ a domestic. She walked
all the way out to his house, and presented
herself as an applicant for the position.
Her story was plausible one, although
Mr. Espey thought no harm would be done
by making further inquiries about her He
admitted her and made her comfortable
with his family for the night. This morn
ing he left home about 7:30 o'clock, and
called on Inspector Boardman to see if any
inquiries had been made. A message ask
ing for Margarets arrest had been received
from Leesburg, and Mr.. Espey hurried
back home to see that the girl did not
leave before he could restore her to her
father. The girl, however, had left his
house during his absence, going to the de-
pot. Before she got started on the home
ward way, as already stated, Detective
Cochran took charge of her, and later de-

DEMOCRATIC FACTIONAL FIGHT.
Old and Young Elements I'm Washing

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star

HAGERSTOWN, Md, June q. 1S99
Washington county democrats are at
fever heat over double-leaded editorial in
the Hagerstown Mail, the democratic organ
and the only paper of that political faith in
the county. After telling in no uncertain
terms the men who heretofore shaped the
course of the party in this county to stand
aside and keep hands off in the approach
ing campaign, the article makes the sig
nifcant statement that the stalwart, earn
est. young element of the party is becoming
stronger each year, and will not be longer
snubbed and brow-beaten by men who, for
a quarter of a century, have occupied the
most conspicuous seats on the band wagon,
and warned the young men that their time
was coming" This is believed to be
thrust at Col. Buchanan Schley and his as
pirationS for place on the state ticket this
fall, and is looked upon by his followers as
timely warning of renewal of the old
factional fight between the regulars" or
"old-timers,' led by Inc colonel, and the
young element led by Thomas Poffen-
berger, the late democratic candidate for
Congress from this district. The republi-
cans are eiated over this state of affairs in
