THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
Effort Being Made to Continue Its Ex-
istence.

The effort to raise sufficient funds to con-
tinue the Washington Symphony Orchestra
took a somewhat definite form yesterday
afternoon at a meeting held at the Wash
ington College of Music of the friends OF
that organization A committee of five was
appointed to confer with the directors of
the orchestra regarding the details OF a
MAN to aid the organization, and meeting
will be held at the same place toInorre"
afternoon, at which the result OF the con-
ference will be made known.
lust how much will be needed by the or
chestra to continue its efforts under the
direction of Mr.. de Koven was not stated
at the meeting yesterday, but there was d
general feeling on the part of those pres
emf representing the different departments
and the people of Washington generally,
that the orchestra should continue, II pos
sible. Whether it will do so will largely
depend upon the meeting to be held TO-
morrow. 49,.
II ia understood that certain of the
friends of the orchestra stand ready to
duplicate any amount subscribed py tne
people Of Washington. That is to say, IL II
is determined to canvass the depaltihe ,,l;s
and the residential sections, and by TINS
means 81 600 is secured, that sum will also
ha piyeh by these friends; If $4,000 Is
raised. that amount will be duplicated. II
is hoped that now that the movement ap-
nears to be In earnest sufficient sum can
he obtained to continue the orchestra NOT
only for the remainder of the season, but
for another year.

The Star, states as follows:

Telegraph Messages to Alaska.

Consideration of matters pertaining to
Alaska occupied some of the time of the
cabinet at it's meeting today. So much pres
sure has been brought to bear upon the gov
eminent to induce the officials to facilitate
the transmission of social and domestic mes
sages between people in the United States
and people in the interior of Alaska that it
was decided to reduce, for such messages,
the telegraph tolls between Valdez and such
Alaskan points as are reached by the gov
eminent lines.
Messages not exceeding ten words may be
sent via Valdez to or from other Alaskan
points at toll of. fifty cents, or twenty
five words for one dollar. The exchange of
such messages is to be limited to two each
month between any two persons. 1t is eX-
pected the government will not be able to
handle the messages at those rates at a
profit but the arrangement was sanctioned
by the cabinet in the interest of the people
The government telegraph lines in Alaska
Secretary Taft explained are being oper-
ted at a loss; indeed, the receipts from
tolls pay scarcely more than p per cent
of the expenses of operation. 1t Is eX-
pected, however. as the Alaskan territory is
developed the receipts Will increase, and
eventually. perhaps, will more than meet
the operating expenses. The Secretary be-
leves the new arrangement will not affect
the receipts to a greater extent than five
per cent of the aggregate of the tolls from
the Alaskan lines There was some incl
dental discussion of Alaskan railroad mat
ters, but no action was taken on the sub

AT THE WHITE HOUSE
A Long Cabinet Meeting
Today.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WOULD
NOT DISCUSS SUBJECT.
Mr.. Roosevelt to Take Two Trips This
Month-A Place to Be Given
General Rosser.

The cabinet meeting today was the long
est in many months, and an unusually large
amount of important business was taken
up. Among the last cabinet officers 10
leave the executive offices were Secretary
Morton and Attorney General Moody. There
have been suggestions of criminal prosecu-
ton of officials of the Atchison. Topeka
and Sante Fe road, growing out of the ad-
mission of officers of that road that rebates
were given to the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company. The interstate commerce COM
mission has transmitted to Attorney Cen
eral Moody all the evidence taken in that
case with a recommendation, it is stated,
for prosecution under the Elkins law and
other laws bearing upon rebates.
In all their contentious as to rebate legis-
iation the railroads have persistently
claimed in the last few months that exist
Ing laws are amply sufficient to break up
rebates, if this was the chief thing aimed
at in proposed new legislation. The circu-
lars and letters sent out by railroad men
have declared that If the prosecuting Off
Gals of the government should do their
duty the rebate laws now in existence
would absolutely stop rebates in every
form.
Attorney General Not Communicative.
When Attorney General Moody was ques-
tened about proposed prosecutions he
would not discuss the subject. merely cali
ing attention to the fact that the Supreme
Court has decided that the testimony Of
persons in hearings before the interstate
commerce commission cannot be used
against those persons in prosecutions. Those
who testify, therefore, are immune to prose-
cution, and it is doubtful whether their
testimony could be used against other Off
Gals of the same road. That is a ques-
ton that must be carefully looked into.
Secretary Morton himself gave testimony
IL the now celebrated hearing and admitted
that rebates were paid declaring that all
other roads were doing the same thing and
his road was compelled to follow suit to
hold their business.
One important thing before the cabinet
was the charges made by Bishop Hare,
Protestant Episcopal missionary of South
Dakota, that the law prohibiting govern
ment aid to sectarian Indian schools has
been evaded. These charges, together with
other Indian matters, were carefully dis
cussed by the President, Secretary Hitch
cock and Francis T.. Leupp, commissioner
of Indian affairs 1t was announced that
statement might be made. Commissioner
Leupp was ordered to make an investiga-
ton.

Indiana,s Marriage Law.

Tisins up in Indiana is worse

divorce case. The unfortunate
sweethearts have to both appear
before the clerk who issues the IL
cense and answer all kinds of ques-
tions. After giving their names.
their color. birthplace and resi-
dence. the inquisitor then has to
know their parents names, color
and occupation. THEN the blush-
ing sweethearts are asked whether
they have been in any poorhouse
within the past five years. and be
fore the bushes have faded away
they are asked if this is the first
m ,rriage, and if not, give complete
details
If the couple survive this and
still love each other, then they
must tell whether they are afflicted
with epilepsy, tuberculosis or any
other transmissible disease. If
still alive they are asked whether
either of them is an imbacile, feeb-

asked what occupation he has and

THE PENALTY OF UNCLRANLI-
MESS.
New Orleans is Paying the Price
Exaeted by Filth.


Not only is this city of New Or.
leans. but the people of quite q
number of states along the gull
coast of TIE oouutry. paying the
penalty exacted by the laws of ma
turs for disregard of even the most
ordinary municipal cleanliness.
They are not only paying for ii
with their lives. but in addition
through the loss of tens of millions
of dollars worth of business. It is
computed that from two to three
million dollars are thus lost every
day and this will probably be in
creased just in proportion as the
plague grows worse. People who
have resided In New Orleans bear
testimony that it was the most un-
clean city in the United States.
That is saying a great deal. but
there is not lacking evidence of
the assertion. It was particularly
true of the quarters inhabitated by
the large forsign-born population.
But they notoriously inclined TO
only dispose of their refuse in To-
cslities within easy tossing dis
tancf: were permitted by an in
competent city government to con-
tinue to revel in the filth, aud thus
it comes that while the entire pop.
tation suffers it is directly respon-
sible for what is happening. One
would think that the inhabitants
of the Crescent City would have
learned by this time, through re-
peated and bitter experiences. that
at least a moderate degree of clean
illness of dwellings,. streets, alleys
and courts, to say nothing of mar
kets, was absolutely essential for
their salvation health. But they
appear to not have learned at all; as
a result the city was more unsani-
tary than even was Havana in the
p4Imy days of Spanish rule. and
the outbreak of fever is not at all
to be wondered at. New Orleans
evidently needs another General
B F Butler. He enforced clean
illness at the point of the bsyonet,
and while b, was in command the
city WAS free from fever-Wheel-
