sion Of the annual banquet of the
Georgetown Alumni association From

Never In the annals Of the association
has a larger number OF graduates attend

At the head Of the table Justice White,
president Of the alumni association, pre-

David HiIlhouse Buel, president of the
university, as guest Of honor on his right.
and Justice Shepard, of the law faculty,
on the left. Blue and gray ribbon, the
coIors of the university. adorned the walls
and the tables. while the souvenirs. a
programme containing the songs and
yells OF the college, were tastefully ar
ranged in appropriate manner.
During the dinner a section Of the Ma
rine Band played the songs, and was
augmented between the courses by a fun
chorus In a happy speech which was
received with great enthusiasm, Justice
White introduced Father Buel. With a
brief introduction, he plunged into a talk

AMERICA GIVES A WARNING
Minister COrea Receives Diplomatic
Tip from state Department That
the Republics Would Do Well TO
Avoid Confict-MeaEer Adviees Re
ceived by Washington officials

Information reached the State Depart
ment yesterday afternoon that the tri-
bunal of arbitration in Salvador. which
has been engaged for several weeks Va
an effort to adjust the differences be
tween Nicaragua and Honduras, has
abandoned it's work and adjourned. Of
fieials here take this as a direct indlca-
ton Of war between the two countries,
although it is possible that the combined
influence of the United States, Mexico,
Guatemala. Costa Rica, and Salvador TO-
ward Cancellation viii force the prospec-
tive belligerents to come TO terms.
Mexico and the United States are lead
ing IN the work to bring about an al
justment and have obtained the assist
ance Of the other three countries. Every
one interested in Central America is most
anxious that Nicaragua and Honduras
be kept from going at each other. There
has been no Indication. however. that
success will meet the efforts being made
to bring about peace.
Senior Don Luis f. Corea. the Nicara-
guam Minister, called at the State De-
partment yesterday and conferred w':h
Assistant Secretary OF State Bacon.
There is a well defined belief that he was
told that the United States was anxious
that the peace OF Central America bt
maintained. and. in fact, was given a
diplomatic tip that there had SDetter be
80 fighting.
Minister Has No News.
The Minister said that he had had no
news whatever from his government.
and that he believed there would be no
actual war Senior Calvo. the Costa Ri
can Minister. was also AT the State De
partment and informed the government
that his country would do all I'm its pow
er to help the situation. The same sort
/ of assurances have come from Guatemala
and Salvador.
The state Department IS in communica-
/ ton with the government Of Mexico on
the situation, through the American en-
bassy IN the City OF Mexico, and through
/ Senior CreeI. the new Mexican Ambassa-
/ dor here. Instructions OF various natures

Building in forty-two of the principal
cities for August shows an increase OF
forty-eight in the number of buildings
and decrease in cost of II per cent
According 10 official reports to Construc-
ton News. permits were taken out in
August for the construction of 12.OO0
buildings. involving a total estimated
cost of $F7. 930,691. against L, 1852 buildings,
involving $53, So $50 cor the correspond
ing month a year ago. an increase Of
forty Eight buildings and a decrease OF
1882, $50. or II per cent. OF the forty
two cities, there were increases IN
twenty-five up to as nigh as 544 per cent
and losses IN twenty W to as high, IL
one instance, Of SO per cent. The losses
were confined 10 the larger cities and
also to localities in which building has
been ConspicuOusiy active.

diuons in all the cities mentioned are
upon a basis too satisfactory to permit

EWSPAPER MEN
OFF ON JAUNT
Unconflrmed Rumor Says
Some Were Ahead of
Time.

Contrary to expectation and out OF all
accordance with nature, the hundred
or more Washington newspaper men and
and their families who wiz be the guests
OF the jamestown Exposition officials in
Norfolk for the next four days, were all
on time this morning and safely slowed
aboard the Washington and Norfolk
Company's fast steamer Newport News
when the big boat left its dock at the
foot of Seventh street at 5 o'clock sharp.
1t is reported that several members OF
the party were slightly ahead of time,
but this rumor cannot be confirmed. 1t
is said that If this is true, there were a
number of morning newspaper scribes
who stayed up all night in order not TO
risk being left behind.
The party was in charge of Special
Commissioner William Thavis, represent
ing the jamestown Exposition. Il is
understood that until the beat reaches
The big fair at 7.30 o'clock this evening,
The ~uests viii be left TO their own de-
vices, but that they will be given plenty
10 occupy their attentions Dy the COM
nittee in charge of their entertainment
after reaching their destination.
The party Will probably start, imme-
diately after landing, on tour OF the
sights which are to be seen along the
War Path" These attractions CORE
spond with those generally Witnessed
along what is usually termed the MID
way" at other eXpOsitiOns and according
to those who have taken in the eXposI-
ton there are enough diversions Of
spectacular and pleasing variety to
please even the critical % washington
pen-pushers.
= Tomorrow and Sunday an inspection Of
the main buildings will be made after
an informal reception by the HlShei o.
flciaIs. The party will leave for home

.LAUNDRIES FOR PUBLIC
ARE FAVORED BY WEST

In connection with the recommendation
Of Plumbing Inspector Davis in his an
nuaI report for the establishment or
public baths, Commissioner West would
go a step further and add 10 the public
bath houses public laundries for the use
Of the poor lin the crowded tenement
sections. In some Of the larger cities,
notably Pittsburg, these public laundries
have been found TO be a necessity
In the densely populated tenement sec
tons of that city where thousands OF
families live in one or two small rooms
with no water except on the ground floor
and nowhere TO wash OF dry clothes, the
women of these poor families use the
public free laundTies literally. As
sanitary protection against disease these
laundries are paving Investments.
