ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 15.-The
Washington Times Newsboys Band
paid their initial visit to Alexandria
this evening. and gave complimentary
entertainment to the firemen of the city
and the citizens generally. To say that
the boys scored a hit is expressing 1t
mildly, for on every corner they were
greeted by hundreds of citizens. and all
through the line OF march the doors and
windows were thronged with ladies and
gentlemen. After parading through the
streets, the boys were entertained at the
Hydraulian engine house.
The young musicians arrived on the
train over the electric railway reach
ing here at 7:35 o'clock, and got off the
car at the intersection of King and
Royal Streets. They were met by u
committee, representing the three fire
engine companies of the city. The COM
mittee was headed by Capt. r. VI
Latham. of the Relief hook and ladder
company. The boys then marched down
Fairfax Street, headed by the committee.
and followed by several hundred citizens.
They turned from Fairfax into Prince
Street and halted in front OF the RELIEF
hook and ladder company's house,
where they rendered several selections.
Their music was greeted with much ap-
plause.
The band then marched up Prince
Street and turned into St. Asaph Street.
On this street. in front OF the Columbia
engine house, another stop was made,
and the band entertained the members
OF that company. During this time the
crowd was greatly augmented by men.

marched to King Street and turned into

RUSSIA AND TRUSTS.
Officially Stated They Are in Opposi-
tion to Treaties.


ST. PETERSBURG. July 1.-THE or
gan of the ministry of finance publishes
an article under the title The Interna-
tionai Significance OF Trusts" with a
note By the ministry of finance
It declares that the activities of trusts
are in opposition TO the tendencies of
modern commercial treaties. which are
based en- the solidarity of civilized peo-
pies. 1t argues against export premi-
ums, and says the depression in prices
thereby effected in the international
market is presumably due to the dam
aging export measures adopted by the
trusts.
The note of the ministry of finance re-
lates to the sugar convention. 1t says
that the convention represents the ap-
plication to the domain OF economics OF
the principles of The Hague conference.

previously announced that the band
would stop at this point The young
sters played se"eral selections. and the
applause was so great that encores were
rendered by the youthful players who
were by this time sweltering from the
humidity of the atmosphere.
Crowt Hard to Manage
IL the meantime the crowd was in
creasing and the committee of iremen
found it no easy task to keep them from
pushing in on the young players. Aft tr
some little delay the band started south
ward and turned at the intersection OF
Washington and Prince Streets. and
marched up Prince to Patrick Street,
where another stop was made.
The boys then started for their desi-
nation, Jhc HydGau.Ian engine EGusc.
When they arrived at the engine Louse
they were sweltering from the Leat.
Here they were greeted by much larger
crowd. Most all of the fremen Of the
city were present. The boys marched
into the yard of the engine house, where
a spread had been carefully prepared for
them by the committee of iiremCn.
The boys. tired out from their long
tramp over the Cotl~a:Cnls. Laid down
their musical instruments and tossed
upon the grass while the committee were
arranging their refreshments. Many
willing hands helped to hurry the task
of making the youthful musicians happy.
In less than fifteen minutes the long table
was ready for the youngsters. On it
were sandwiches. lemonade. cakes. ice

Boys Had a Treat.
When the word was given the boys
pitched in. and did ample justice TO the
lemonade and sandwiches.
After spending three-quarters of an
hour at the table the boys went into the
engine house and viewed it with consid-
erahle curiosity Ten minutes afterward
they assembled on the lawn and rsnd cred
several selections, which were listened
TO by the large crowd outside with great
appreciation.
The boys then left the engine house and
marched down King Sti eet, followed by
a crowd numbering something like 1.0G1
people. All down that thoroughfare the
doors and windows of the various resi-
dences were packed with people. At the
of King and Royal Streets
they boarded the car and left the city at
.: 80 o'clock.
The boys expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the hospitable man

Did town. On the other hand their play
