AN ALUMNI BANQUET.
annual Dinner of Former Students of
Columbian University.

The annual banquet of the Columbian
University Alumni Association was given
last evening at Rauscher's. Men, promi-
nent in many walks of life, gathered about
the long tables, which we're arranged in
the form of grill. and set with sparkling
cut glass and silver, while crimson shaded
candles glowed between great vases of
roses, peoples. and carnations. The menu.
elaborate and perfectly served, was PAR
taken of by about $50 OF the alumni Of
the university and their friends.
The after-diDner speakers included Sen
ator Chauncey NJ. Depew, Justice Brewer,
United States Supreme Court; Commander
Richard Wainwright, A. B. Browne, Rev.
Greene, of Calvary Baptist Church; VIII
liam Writ Howe. E. B. Hay, and DR..
Whitman.
An unusual and pleasing feature Of the
evening was the introduction. between
courses, of two songs by quartet:e, COM
posed of alumni of the university.
The speakers were all highly euiogisitic
of the university and the advantages OF a
college course.
Senator Depew said. among other things.
that success was not TO be measured by
millions. but by the command of respect
among men.
THE educated man eventually gets what
he starts out for said the speaker. The
true secret of success in life is the ability
to say no. Any man can say no until he
is tempted ] like TO meet my fellow-men
on festive occasions, because that is one
time when a man can't make anything out
of his neighboT."

AN INJUNCTION ASKED.
j. and VI. Fitzpatrick Begin Proceed
inps AuninsI Il. NJ Hewlett

Proceedings for mandamus and injunc-
tion were begun yesterday in the Supreme
Court of tho District against Emanuel NJ.
Hewlett, one of the justices of the peace
for the District. The petitioners are John
Fitzpatrick and Michael Fitzpatrick. The
petition for mandamus and injunction is
based upon the action of the justice of the
peace in connection with a suit brought
recently by the petitioners against John
Lorigan & Co. After the service of he
papers in the suit on the defendant he
failed TO appear and make a defence, and
Judgment was given against MIN for S9S. 80.
the amount claimed
Some days after Constable Callahan lev
led on certain personal property alleged
to belong to the defendant. About a week
later W. 4. Johnson. counsel for the Fitz-
patricks, was notified that Kathryn Lori
gan claimed the property levied upon as
that of j. Lorigan & Co.. and a day was
set for an investigation as to her owner
ship. II is stated that on the day Set for
the hearing of this question Mr.. Johnson
filed a motion before Hewlett asking for
change of venue on the ground that he
did not believe that his client would get
fair and impartial trial before him. and
requested that the cause be certified 20 the
nearest justice OF the peace, as provided
by law. 1t is claimed by the petitioners
that this request was refused by the re-
spondent in these proceedingb.

THE CENTENNIAL PLANS.
The Work of the Committee Fro
crossing satisfactorily.


In speaking of the plans of the Centen-
NAL Committee yesterday. Commissioner
Ross, who is a member. said that matters
were progressing in a highly satisfactory
manner.
With reference particularly TO plans for
the permanent improvement of the city,
Mr. Wight said that the committee had
placed before the President tentative plans
for Centennial Avenue and the enlargement
of the White House. Both had produced 4
favorable impression on Mr.. Mckinley. and
he had promised to send the bills for both
projects to Congress with the Executive
endorsement.
The general plan of Centennial Avenue
is a paved street, 200 feet wide. running
from the west front of the Capitol through
the Mall to the Potomac. At this point the
Memorial Bridge would continue the drive
way across the river and on TO Arlington
Commissioner Wight stated that the con-
struction of the avenue and of the bridge
were separate projects. The Centennial
Committee he said. was chiefly interested
in the building of the avenue. though ne
hoped the bridge would be erected.
The committees plans regarding the
White House are to enlarge the present
structure, either by building additions or
by the erection of an entirely new struc-
ture. to be connected with the old White
House by colonnades or some other device
which will be thought appropriate by
architects. According to Mr.. Wight, the
Centennial Committee thinks there is am
pie room for the new building in the White
Lot, and that for the sake of convenience
as well as association, that is the place for
the new structure.
The committee hopes that these two
projects will be inaugurated during the
centennial year.

Can you state the amount or money
that has been paid to Mr. Cason?"
He borrowed s35 from me andiI ad-
vanced him $40 as his witness fees in the
Welcome disbarment trial..
Can you state to the committee how
much you paid for the Ector letters?''
Il never paid a cent for them. Il They
were procured by Mr.. Whiteside.''oa
Were they not offered to both, sides for a
consideration?
II do not know what might have been
done with regard to your side but they
were not offered to our side for a con-
sideration. Mr.. Ector received 500 for his
expenses while in Washington"
Mr.. Faulkner asked the witness good
many questions concerning the manner in
which the prosecution had obtained Jack
sons testimony. The conversations with
Lyon and Hill were then gone over but
the statements made by the witness under
direct examination were mistaken.
Mr.. Campbell said that the money which
had been paid 10 Hill since the adjourn
ment of the Legislature for his expenses
and services would probably amount TO
$1,000. Coming to the question of the
original affidavit made by Hill. Mr. Camp
bell was asked whether he believed that
any man could know as much about the
matter as was contained in that affidavit
of nineteen typewriter pages. The wit
ness said he believed that Hill was then
telling the truth.
Did you know at that time that there
were things stated in that affidavit which
were not true?"
Il knew that there was one statement
in it which was not true. 1t mentioned
the name OF a man Cannon who was
dead. / asked Hill about il and he said
he had made mistake about the name"
is 1t not fact that when you called
Hills attention to the fact that one of
the men named in the affidavit was dead
he told you that the whole thing in refer
ence to that particular item was untrue?''
He did not. He insisted that il was
true, and has always so insisted.
The DISCRIMINATION OF Mr. Campbell
was closed at AS o'clock. The letters
from Mr.. Campbell to Detective Mclean
were then read. The letters contained
ordinary instructions to the detective.
Mr.. Campbell's statement of expendi-
lures in the pending cause was taken IN
der consideration by Subcommittee, and
at $50 o'clock the committee adjourned
until this morning.
