WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEB. %. 1905

THE ANNIVERSARY of the birth OF
George Washington did not seem to ap-
neal "a much to Alexandrians this year
az it has on several occasions recently,
and while two or three organizations
will honor the occasion by giving ban
quets, the general trend Of business will
not be materially interfered with. No
attempt was made to have = parade,
without which the day is Hamlet minus
Hamlet. The George Washington Birth
day Association gave banquet this
afternoon which was an interesting
feature, and speeches by Governor Mon
tague. Lieutenant Governor Willard and
several officials aud representative citi-
zeus of Alexandria rendered the occasion
exceedingly interesting. Alexandria
Washington Lodge Of Masens will give
their annual banquet tonight, and
the Friendship Veteran Fire Association
will celebrate Washington's birthday in
a similar manner. Fitzgerald Council, X.
of O.. will also give banquet. The
present generation, apart from those IN
few places in the southern country,
paw but little attention to the memory OF
George Washington. The Congress OF
the United States was in session today
and throughout the capital city--named
for the Father ofths Country-but little
interest was manifested in "reminiscences
of the frst President of the republic.
The twentieth century is witnessing
laudations of many whose claims to
inches in the temple of fame are dubious,
while monuments are being unveiled to
some whose missions in life have brought
forth no permanent fruits. Birthdays
of numbers whose careers were meteor
like aud of regulations of mushroom
origin are celebrated, while that OF
Washington comes and goes and pro-
duces less interest in some quarters than
ground hog day.

IT SEEMS that the location Of the
outlet of the Washington sewer near
what is known as the Magazine wharf,
a short distance north of this city, was
authorized by an act of Congress, and
that the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia have no power to change
it. Objection has been urged against
placing il so near the Magazine wharf,
the commandant giving several reasons
why it should be removed to another
point, but each change suggested brings
it nearer Alexandria. The outlet would be
uucomfortably near the city even at the
point fixed upon, as evidences of its e1is-
tence would often be noticeable not only in
the stream but in the docks and probably
on the shores: but those who do not
want The filth of the capital city dumped
near the Magazine wharf suggest that
the outlet be placed near ohePhoru y
while others think Oxon run is the
proper place for the sewage of Wash
ington to enter the Potomac. Alexan-
da has for years been annoyed by the
garbage OF Washington. Scows loaded
with such refuse have often been an
chored near this city in midsummer
the effluvium from which was intolersbls.
People living in the western part of the
city are often annoyed by garbage trains
as they pass through the city, and the
outlet of the Washington sewer seems
destined to augment existing conditions.

Providence, r. l., Feb. 22.-The

Larchmont Saturday night while on the

been fixed on man who was ia the
staterOom a dozen times after he COM
mitted the murder, and as late as Is

He believes the man was Jew and de-
clares that he could positively identity

RUSSIAN AFFAIRS.

The railroad and telegraph strike sit
uation is reported to be growing worse
in the southwest OF Russia, and private
advces are said to show the existence OF
of reign of terror in Tifis and the
Caucasus generally. Many murders by
Tartars and Armenians are reported.
The situation in Poland along the
Austrian Border is also causing great I'M
easiness.
kilograms from Baku report that the
disturbances there are increasing, that
fighting has occurred in many parts of
the tows, that shops have been pillaged
and houses burned, and that the inhabi-
tants are panic stricken. Serious distur-
Dances are also reported at Balakhany
and troops have been summoned thither.
Disturbances are reported in neighbor-
hood schools. The police have arrested
many pupils.
The great strike continues in the
Dombrowa and Sosnovice districts, where
there is much lawlessness, such as rob-
berry of persons and plundering of houses
and shops.
A dispatch from ST. Petersburg con-
firming adyices of February II and Feb
ruary Is from st. Petersburg to the effect
that peace was under consideration adds:
"The question of peace has not only
been formally discussed, but the condi-
tious on which Russia is prepared to
make peace have practically been agreed
upon. These are as follows
"Korea to be placed under japanese
suzerainty..
Port Arthur and the LisOtung PENN.
sula to be coded to Japan.
'Vladiyostok TO be declared neutral
port with an open door.
"The Eastern Chinese Railroad to be
placed under neutral international admin
ististion.
"Manchuria as far north as Hardin 10
be restored as an integral part of the
Chinese Empire.
"The difficulty lies in settling the
question Of indemnity, upon which it is
known that Japan insists, but it is
thought that this difficulty is not in
superable.
''The most trustworthy opinion at 81.
Petersburg is that in view Of the internal
situation and the enormous difficulty of
carrying on the war, peace on the terms
outlined will be concluded within COM
paratively short time if the indemnity
question can be arranged, but it is quite
possible that Russia will risk another
battle before decision is reached"
Count Cassini, the Russian Am
bassador n Washington, when shown
the dispatch setting forth terms of peace
said to be now under discussion said
THAT such terms could be under consid
Grafton, or even discussed, by govern
ment which has 400,0 men in the
field, is too unreasonable for anyone to
believe. Ny latest information from
st. Petersburg is that there has been no
change whatever in the general policy of
the government earnestly to prosecute
the war;"

Early in the day the Senate took
up the isthmian canal bill, and
agreed TO meet an hour earlier today in
order to advance the bill. Ex-senator
Higgins finished his preliminary state
ment in opening the defense for Judge
Swayne, and one witness for Judge
Swayne was examined.
The House yesterday passed the Philip
pine tariff bill practically as it came
from committee and with but little dis
cussion. There was no especial opposition
to it, although amendments coming from
the democratic side designed to put
certain products on the free list,
met with defeat. An effort to prohibit
the importation of opium int the islands
except fer medicinal purposes also failed,
although Mr.. Payne, of New York, ex-
planned that the Philippine Commission
was dealing with the subject in its own
way. Immediately after the Philippine
tariff bill was disposed Of, the House
took up the river and harbor appropria-
ton bill, but it was soon laid aside, and
several measures we're passed, the most
important of which was the authorize
ton given the Secretary OF War to re-
turn to the several States Union a1d
