WOMEN'S CLUBS.
Next Meeting of Federation to He
Held In Los Angeles.

The executive board Of the National Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs closed It's sessions
al the Arlington last night. The two ques-
tons Of most Importance before the board
were the place of meeting in 1902 and the
admission of clubs of colored women to the
national federation.
Los Angeles has been selected for the
next biennial convention. The promises OF
entertainment held out by California and
the railroads lead TO the belief that the
Los Angeles trip will be one OF the most
memorable in the history OF the National
Fedora ton.

uonal Federation ever since the meeting In
Milwaukee last year when the fight on the

because there was no unusual conflict of
evidence after all, and the man has been
released.
The departments action is indicated in
the following paragraph:
In passing finally upon the case the de-
partment states that 1t does not lose sight
of the fact that subsequent developments
often suggest the propriety of precaution-
ary measures the exercise of greater
care than seems to be called for al the
time by the circumstances known to those
upon whom responsibility rests, and that
while in this instance II now appears that
IN some respects additional precautions
might have been taken. II Is only just to
consider that the fatal termination OF the
case. winch was not foreseen, must neces-
sarlly influence in some degree any review

the departments inability to concur fully
with the remarks of the Judge advocate

HOBART GREEN'S DEATH.
Findings of Court of Inquiry and Ac
ton of Navy Department

r lnutnSs Oh court OF inquiry ana Ac-
tiOn of Navy Department..
The Navy Department has made public
the findings of the court of inquiry which
investigated the circumstances attending
the illness. death and burial of Marine Ho-
bart Green. which have been made the sub
ject of congressional inquiry. Green died
on the Santee at Annapolis December last
from pneumonia. The findings of the
court, as has already been made public,
exonerated the officials from improper
treatment of Green and the new phase
of the matter is the Endorsement of Judge
Advocate General Lemly and the action of
the Navy Department. In brief, the former
is satisfied that Green received skilled at
tendance and diet, but he expresses doubt
whether the hospital attendants gave the
case the constant attention which its Sc
riousness demanded.
The Santee's sick quarters are said to be
all right, but criticism is made by Judge
Lemly of the flooding of the floor of the
sick bay where Green was lying Ill, and
also of his being allowed to walk, though
assisted, from one cot to the other while
i'll. Judge Lemly also criticises
the haste with which the funeral arrange
ments were made, and the manner in which
the remains were prepared for burial. He
finds that there Is no occasion for bringing
Corp. Winters to trial for false testimony.

ONE THEATER'S POSITION.
Under No Circumstances VIII Sunday
Performance BE Given.

Mr.. James l.. Herman, proprietor and
manager of the Lyceum Theater, today no
tilted the District Commissioners that un-
der no circumstances will his theater be
opened next Sunday. or any other Sunday
while he is In control Of the house.
II would add" wrote Mr.. Herman to Conn
missioner Ross today: that when had an
interview with you on the subject of Sun
day shows. March 80. 1899 you stated that
you would consider 1t a favor If / would
not open my theater for reasons that you
explained. | then said. and / repeat II now,
under no circumstances, no matter what
other places of amusement may do shall
ever open my theater to the public for the
atrical performances on that day
1t is said number of people are under
the Impression that the Commissioners are
fully authorized by law to prevent Sunday
shows, but just the contrary is true so they
are informed: there Is no law in force here
authorizing them to prohibit Sunday per-
formances or to punish those conducting
them. Therefore, 1t has only been possible
for the Commissioners, I'm seeking to en-
force the evident wishes of the community
to endeavor to induce the proprietors of the
local theaterS to close their houses on Sum
day by acquainting them with the senti-
ment OF the community. More than this
they cannot do.

SHOULD THEY GO TO WAR

In the event Of war between Great
Britain and France the first and most
important part Of the struggle would
be for the command OF the sea. Should
Great Britain succeed In retaining the
command Of the sea France would
thereby be reduced to condition OF
impotence 80 far as offensive opera
lions are concerned and would sooner
or later be obliged to submit to the
will of her rival, although, 1t Is true,
the war might last for long time. II,
on the other hand, France should sue
coed In wrestling from Great Britain
the command OF the sea and In keeping
II, Great Britain would be so much
more hopeless and lmpotent than
France In similar plight would DC that
the war would terminate quickly.
In word, France, even without the
command OF the sea or anything ap-
preaching to 1t. remains capable OF
prolonged rcsstance-firstly. because
she Is self supporting country; sec
ondly, because the French national
sentiment and strength are already
concentrated within her borders. and.
thirdly. because she stands among the
best equipped Of the military powers.
while Great Britain, deprived OF the
command Of the sea. would collapse
with relative rapIdity-nrstly, because
she is In no sense q self supporting
country; secondly, because her national
sentiment and strength are scattered
over the world and cannot be concen-
trated save by way Of the sea, and.
thirdly, because she Is not n military
