YEN CELEBRATED LAST NIGHT.

sinstic Gathering-Many Bright ana
Interesting Speeches, Appropriate
Songs and Decorations,

Among the numerous celebrations of
the birthday of her gracious majesty,
Queen Victoria held the wide world
over last night, that in the New Ha-
ven held under the auspices of the Brit
ish-Amerlcans of the City of Films, If
not one of the largest, was certainly
one of the most enthusiastic that was
held. The large cafe of Mr.. Speh pre-
scented a brilliant appearance when one
looked in and saw the 200 guests seated
at the various tables, which We're beau
tifully decorated with choice flowers.
and these blended with the Union Jack
and Stars and Stripes went to make up
a very pretty and effective picture.
William Reeves was chairman and
postmaster. The various speeches
were bright, interesting and plthy, and
listened to by the large audience with
rapt attention. Alderman Wallace re-
sponded to the toast Of 1.-THE Presi-
dent" The name Of which was receiv-
ed with great enthusiasm. The toast
of the evening that Of THE Queen"
was responded to by Chief w. C. Nc
Intosh of the Caledonian club, who
spoke in very eloquent manner of the
high qualities of Victoria as a woman
and a ruler. "Our Adopted Country"
was responded to in an able manner
by James Sault. John Bull and Uncle
Jonathan" was responded to by Chief
James Mustarde who held that so long
as the Union lack and the Stars and
Stripes foated together as they do at
present in friendly rivalry, just so long
would these two countries control the
destinies of the world at large. The
Army and Navy" received a glowing
tribute from S. d. Blogg, secretary of
the British-American committee. THE
City of Films" was ably responded to
by A. Pursell, and The English Or
ders" by Grand Chief John Trace, while
1.-THE Scottish Orders was ably upheld
by Past Chief Robert Macarthur Of the
THE Ladies" received high compli-
ment at the hands of John Cromer A

terspersed the toast list and was ably
carried out by Mrs. E. A. Reeves, Mrs

which its owner had acquired fighting

AT SAVIN ROCK.


The New Londons afforded an eaHy
victory to the home team at the Rock
Yesterday. With a lead of three runs
at the end Of the second inning New
Haven played an easy winning game
through to the end That her score was
not a bigger one was only due to New
Londons hawless playing at all points
of the game.
The day was an ideal one for base
ball and the game was attended by
about 400 people. Both teams made
two runs in the first inning. In the
next Buss, first up for New London,
made a splendid hit and reached his
first safely, stealing second in neat or
der on the next play. Lynch following
him went out on first and Wheelock
after him fyed out to Duffy. 1t look
ed as though Buss was going to get left
on third, but Morgan brought him
home with a three-bagger, the prettiast
hit of the game. He was unable to
score, as Drew, next up, was put out at
first.
In the last half of the inning New Ha-

ven struck a batting streak, and two
pretty hits by Mack and Mcdonald fol-
lowed by two two-base hits by Parent
and Ashe, scored four runs for New
Haven. Close playing by both sides fol-
lowed throughout and but one more
run was scored. This was made by the
home team in the sixth inning. In this
inning Lynch fell down somewhat in
his pitching, and allowed two men to
walk, sending another to first on a
balk.
Aside from this both pitchers Put up
a steady game and both struck out
three men. The home team found
Lynch for eleven hits, while Mcdonald
allowed Z.
The score by innings was as follows:

WHOLE SCHEME A
 MAMMOTH FRAUD Effort to Pension Ex-Siaves Made
 to Extort Money. COULD NOT PASS CONGRESS Only Two Delegates Attended the Con- ference at Washington, Called to Further the Scheme-Vaughan
 the Head of the Clique.
COULD NOT PASS CONGRESS

Washington, January 2S.-(Special.)-An effort is being made by certain negroes backed by certain white fellows ''of the baser sort" to get bill through congress with a view to granting pensions to the ex-slaves.
 These negroes, and white men as well, it might be said, only claim to want such bill passed, but so glib of tongue are they and apparently honest that they deceive not only the poor negroes of the south, but men in the east.
 The latter are importuned to subscribe money to aid in this cause, while the ne- gro himself is pinched for his funds to help carry it through.
 No one knows better than the negroes who are extorting money out of their fel- low beings that there is no earthly chance for such bill ever to become law. It is impossible to conceive of a more gigan- tic fraud than this whole scheme to pen- sion ex-slaves. The white representatives from certain districts might be brought to support 1t for the reason that they would be bringing money into their own districts and to the merchants in the little towns. If the negroes got pension one day the
 
 the cash drawer of the country storekeeper. But even with this incentive there are only a few democrats who would think of sup porting such a measure, while no repub- lican would give it his assistance for minute.
 This Is written for a purpose, that pur- pose being to call attention of the negroes to the schemers of the.r own race whose sole object is to extort money from them alleging to need it for the purpose of get ting the bill through congress.
 It has been only a few weeks since conference was held here of the Vaughan's National ex-Slave association at which were passed resolutions abounding in high moral statements. The resolution also spoke of the white democrat as the only great friend of the negro. The whole mat ter was a sckening and ludicrous appeal to the white men with view evidently of pacifying them for some unknown, reason.
 As far as I can learn there were only two delegates at the conference held here, one being negro, B. F. Hill, of Nashville, the other being J. Thomas Turner. These men may be the unwilling victims of the fellow Vaughan, of Council Bluffs, Ia., who is the genious of the pension scheme.
 Whatever his merits or demerits may be there are number of negroes working in behalf of the Vaughan ex-Slave Pension as- sociation and who are going through the country extorting money from the ne- groes. There is no way to pension the ex- slave, and if there were there would be no chance whatever of getting through a bill to that effect. The whole scheme is a mammoth fraud and those perpetratinR. t should be bounded out of communities where they appear, by the negroes them- selves. A. w. B.

honor to be delegate, but as solicitor my first duty is to the state as solicitor. You may say, therefore, that shall not be a candidate for delegate to the convention :"
 
 l As yet there are no citizens of Brming- ham who have given it out that they de- sire to represent Jefferson county in the constitutional convention. It is presumed that State Chairman Lowe will be selected without so much as an expression of desire on his part. His selection would be by unanimous popular consent, as would that of General Shelley. If It were known that he would serve John P. Tillman Is another man who would go in with popular ap- proval. Representative John Mcqueen may or may not desire togo as delegate to the convention, as he has not expressed himself. But he is high on the honor roll of those who for ten years have labored for the call ing of conStitutinal convention. In 1892 Mir. Mcqueen was on the ''roll of honor' as one of the twenty-two members Of the house who voted for a convention. Again in 1894 he was the moving spirit in the pro- posed call for convention. A bill calling a convention passed the house, and perished in the senate. MT. McQueen's great services in this matter are undeniable, and if he cares to go to the coming convention as delegate from Jefferson he is not likely to find much opposition.
 There is a good story on MT. William A. Davis, of Anniston, the general agent of the Alabama Mineral Land company. MT. Davis is a consistent prohibitionist. He never took a drink of liquor in his life and probably never will. Moreover, he is a devout deacon in the Baptist church and has been for many years the secretary of the Alabama Baptist state convention, as his noble hearted father was before him. The other night drunken soldier from Wisconsin regiment, stationed at Anniston, raised a row in a Birmingham saloon. The police were sent for and the soldier was placed under arrest There was no purpose to punish the man, but merely a desire to keep him in order. He informed the police that he had room at the Morris and would gladly go to bed. Officer Disheroon took him to the clerks desk at the Morris and he undertook to show the officer his name on the register. Clerk Leigh informed the officer that the soldier had not registered there, but the soldier insisted on showing the officer where he had reg istered. The poor fellow ran his finger down the first page of the register for that day and, pausing, he exclaimed '"There you are! I told you so. My room is No. T." The entry on the register read, "Wm. A. Davis, Anniston." An old friend of MT. Davis, who was looking on, burst out in unseemly laughter and the soldier was borne away.
