TO LAY THE CORNERSTONE.
Details Completed for Ceremony at
Continental Hall.


The arrangements at the cornerstone lay
ing of the Memorial Hall of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, on Tuesday,
the anniversary of the battle of Lexington,
April 49, are practically completed.
A number of the chapter regents have al
ready reported at the national society
headquarters. By the day of the assembling
of the annual continental congress, which
will be the same as the cornerstone laying,
every state and territory in the Union will
have it's regent and every one of the 6oo
chapters it's delegates present.
This in itself will make an assemblage
almost as large as to numbers as the chi
cago or ST. Louis national conventions
With their friends, it is not improbable
that upward of three thousand persons,
mostly ladies, will be brought together
from all parts of the country by the two
events.
The cornerstone, which was shipped from,
the Vermont quarries week ago, is now in
the city and will be taken to the grounds
on Monday, and placed in position.
The accommodations for the ceremonies
consist of platform on the northeast cor
ner of the site, facing south, with an III
closed flooring in front. for 900 guests, on
chairs. Several hundred national flags have
been used in the decorations of the strand
and the court. The sections have been
disposed according to the national colors,
red white and blue. and the tickets of ad-
mission have been divided into three classes
in colors to correspond-white and blue
for members of the society and red for the
guests.
In order to convey an idea of the national
character of the organization, forty-five
emblems of the states will be distributed
on staffs around the Enclosure, with an inn
mense national flag floating from the stan
erected the site several years ago A
conspicuous feature will be five large fioral
wreaths concentrating the progress OF
Oh
date of one of it's president generals-Mrs
Harrison, Mrs. Stevenson, Mrs. Foster, Mrs
Manning and Mrs. Fairbanks. The floral
decorations will be very lavish in variety
and design, and in harmony with the &C.
caSion.
The state emblems will be linked by gar
lands. which will extend completely around
the court, the effect of which will be ex-
ceptionally fine. Colonel 7. w. Symons,
the president, will assist Mrs. Fairbanks
as director of ceremonies. A reception
committee of thirty Sons of the American
Revolution, F. D. Owen, chairman, will
have charge of the seating of the guests
The United States Marine Band, under
Director Santelmann, will render suitable
music during the ceremonies

BONDS AS A GIFT.
John B. Manning Offers District State
Securities Valued at $4,000.

Commissioner Macfarland is considering
a communication from MIR. John B. Man.
ming of No. Wall street, New York city.
in which Mr.. Manning offers to furnish the
District $4,000 worth of state of South
Carolina bonds which he states will enable
the Commissioners to bring action in the
Supreme Court, the proceeds of such &C
ton If productive to be used by the Com
missioners as they deem wise.
The communication from MIR. Manning is
not without interest, will be suggested
by his proposition. Among other things
he asks the Commissioners to look into the
wisdom of benefiting the District by hav-
ing a law passed by Congress permitting
the District to receive donations, deVlses
and requests for the benefit OF hospitals.
schools and pensioners, and have the legal
department of the District enforce the col
lection of such donations IN any OF the
courts in the United States.
Mr. Manning incloses with his letter a
clipping from the New York Times of last
Wednesday, in which a recent decision oil
the Supreme Court is reported. This de-
cision gives to the state of South Dakota a
Judgment against the state of North caro-
lima for $27 100, and DEGREES that II the de-
PENDANT state does not pay the judgment
by January 1. 1905, the United States mar
shall shall seize certain property belong
ing to North Carolina. advertise 1t, and sell
| 1t at the east door of the Capitoi. =
The story connected with this decision is
as follows: During the fortes number OF
southern states struck with the railroad
building craze issued bonds to the amount
of several millions of dollars for the car
rying out of railroad projects. The bonds
| fell due during the seventies. and the
states, on account of the ravageS or the
| civil war, were unable to pay the bonds
| In the case of North Carolina cited. 1t Is
stated. that state repudiated the bonds. AS
| a citizen of one state could not bring sun
against another state, the holders or the
| bonds were unable to secure payment by
| suit The state Of South Dakota, how
ever, passed law providing for the &C
| ceptance by that statej of donations, de-
yises, grants ETC.. made to South Dakota
and a broker in New York gave to South
Dakota ten of the repudiated bonds OF
! North Carolina.
| South Dakota sued North Carolina. and
according to the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court, succeeded in its suit to col
| lect payment for the bonds.
The suggestion in. Mr.. Mannings commu-
nication, therefore. is that the District
! have enacted a law permitting 1t to accept
| donations grants, etc. and then with the
bonds offered to the District by the writer
| to sue the state of South Carolina to re-
| cover payment.
Mt Macfarland states that he is consid-
ering the matter, but at this time cannot
| say Just what decision he will make with
reference to the communication and Its
contents.

RENT OF cANcEL1NG MACHINES.
Proposal to Limit the Cost Lost in the
Senate,

During the discussion of the post office APP
preparation bill in the Senate yesterday af-
ternoon Mr.. Culberson suggested an
amendment limiting the rental of cancel
ling machines to figure not exceeding the
cost of the machines.
Mr. Lodge said the high rental of these
machines was due to The fact that they
were patented and that 1t cost great deal
to keep them in repair.
Mr.. Clay supported the amendment, quot
ing from Mr.. Bristows report in which the
Beavers contract for the machines was de-
nounced, and saying that Notwithstanding
this denunciation the contracts were con-
tinued., Mr.. Bristow." said Mr. Clay, tells
us that we pay 200 per cent on these ma
chimes each year, and / see no reason for
continuing the Beavers arrangement"
Unless they want to vindicate him." said
Mr.. Culberson.
Mr.. Clay said that the cost of keeping in
repair $50 machines was about $3.50 per
year. while the rental was $50 each year.
Mr.. Scott replied that the fourth assist
ant postmaster general had just telephoned
to the Senate that $500 was the cost of
keeping in repair the machine on which a
rental of $4UU was paid.
During the debate there was reference to
the headline Charges against members of
Congress-" and MIR. Money again related
bis futile effort to ascertain who its author
was. He also repeated his conviction that
the charge had been made to divert atten-
ton from the rascalities Of the Post Office
department"
Mr. Gallinger expressed the opinion that
the headline had teen inserted at the print
ing Office, saying that he had known of
| many such instances. To this suggestion
Mr. Money replied that any official en-
! ploye of the printing of1ice who would
| make such change in copy should be dis
ciplined. He denounced the headline as
'mendaciOus, malicious and slanderous
The amendment was lost, the vote being
Is ayes TO 80 noes.
After the vote was taken Mr.. Teller called
attention to the fact that all the votes cast
| tor the amendment to reduce charges for
machines, which he said the fourth assist
ant postmaster genera had denounced as
extortionate, had been cast by democrats,
while all the negative votes had been cast
| by republicans. He said the prices named
| in the bill it stood were the same as
| those fixed by beavers He added that II
| the Senate was trying to give Mr.. Beavers
| a bill of health it should go further and
| instruct the Department of Justice not to
| prosecute him. The contracts, he said had
| been made in fraud and should be discount
| tenanced by the Senate.
Mr.. Lodge said that Mr.. Teller's informa-
| ton was incorrect, and added that the ma
| chine with which Beavers had been con-
| cerned was not now under contract

the present applicants If they were in the
liquor business prior to March 3, 1898, were
apparently opera ting without the consent of

licenses in good faith or not. they are en-
titled to refund.

ing August; Patrick Shugrue applied for
license April /, 1893, and it was granted

The Bush Decision.

In the assessor opinion the Court of APP
peals in the Bush case. referred to. intended
that its decision should cover only the cases
OF those persons who, prior to the act Of

applied for licenses for the license year
