The Oix-ni-C ?*
torlc?l Association.
The array of distinguUbed
stitute the roil of memberdup ?f
Historical Association ? well represented in
the audience that gathered tart *?
ball of the Columbian University. It m the
opening se?rion of the seventh annual meeting
of this association.
The Hon. John Jay. LI*?-, of New York city,
the president of the association, wa.net able to
be present as be is suffering from an accident
sustained some time ago. The association was
therefore called to order by Hon. Wm. Wirt
Henry of R' hmond, Va., one of the Tice
presidents, who read the inaugural address
prepared bv Mr. Jay. He said the American
Historical Association enters upon it* sixth
year nnder new and favorable auspice*. Its
national importance as identified with the im
proved method of historic tftudv has been
recognized in its incorporation by Congress
and in connection with the Smithsonian Insti
tute and the generous privileges accorded to
the association in regard to our collections,
exchanges and the distribution of our reports.
The papers, the speaker said, of Prof. Her
bert 11. Adams, Dr. Andrew D. White, Presi
dent Charles K. Adams and other accomplished
experts, have given full accountsof the progrese
of historic study in Europe and at home, espe
cially at Harvard, Yale. Columbia, the Lni
versity of Michigan, at Cornell and at the Johns
Hopkins University, whose historic volumes
tell their own story and where forty graduate
students in history ore working for the doctor
degree, lint despite our progress America is
still far behind Europe in tne branch of history,
and Prof. Emerson remarks that "history has
been taught very badly in America, or rather,
to be honest, it has hardly been taught at all."
LESSORS or HISTOttl.
He spoke of the forgetfulnesa of historic Ice
sons, not only in Europe but in this country,
and said that in this conntry the papers of the
association and of the Johns Hopkins Univer
sity are giving historic expositions of Uie prin
ciples and policy of^the republic asexhibited in
congressional acts and judicial decision?.
Dr. ScbafTs paper quotes with Judici.il exact
ness the adjudications on this point ae a mat
ter not of doctrine but of fact, showing that in
New York the Episcopal Church was disestab
lisned by the Constitution, which repealed all
parts of common the law which "might be con
strued to establish or maintain any particular
denomination of Christriana or their ministers.
Dr. SchruT also showed that the supreme
courts in Reynolds agt- the United States, held
that Congress cannot pasa a law which prohibits
the free exercise of religion, and that "the tirst
amendment to the Constitution expressly pro
hibits such legislation." This is the amend
ment of which Jefferson wrote that he contem
plated it with profound reverence aa "building
a wall of separation between church and state.
Jlr. Jay went on to say that It. Andrew D.
White, with his large scholarly and diplomatic
experience, had shown in one of his able papers
that the demand of the nation tor men trained
in history and political and social science and
jurisprudence could hardly be overstated.
DISTORT AND PATRIOTISM.
Will not the American boy, said Mr. Jay, as
he reads of Magna Charta and its confirmation
thirty times the more appreciate the fact that
it was the basis of the petition of right, the bill
of rights and of our Declaration of Independ
ence, and of the amendments to our Constitu
tion'' Alreadv school committees have begun
to provide n- w histories and primers for young
Americans, who should be taught in the most
attractive way "the real homely facts of gov
ernment," to which the annaU of the neighbor
hood thould add interest by their local color.
The scholars and great educationalists of Amer
ica are decplv impressed with the absolute ne
cessity of imbuing the children of America
with the American spirit as developed in its
history if the character of the natiou is to be
preserved, Bishop Potter, the Hon. Andrew 8.
Draper, President Potter of Hobart College,
were quoted, and Presjient Hamsonhad a-ked
-Eow one shall be a sate citizen who is not in
telligent?"
Manv of our sanguine countrymen nave in
dulged" the hope that our republic is destine-d
at no distant day to rule the world more widely
than Rome in her proudest days, not by rea
son of her continental power but by the force
of ber influence and example?non ratione im
perii, sed imperio rationis. If that dream is
to be fulfilled, will it not be due to the preser
vation in its puritv and manly strength of the
American spirit taught by American history to
American children in the public schools?
CANADIAN TOPICS.
The remainder of the papers of the evening
were devoted to Cana lian topics. Dr. J. O.
Bourinot, C.M.G., clerk of the Canadian house
of commons, read a paper on the subject:
"Canada and the United States from historical
roints of view." In brief it was a charming
review of the relations existing betweeu Canada
and the United States as seen from a Canadian
point of view. This was followed by a few
pleasant remarks by Senator Hoar, in which he
said that it was a matter of congratulation that
a Canadian government official had been
elected a member of the Historical Association.
The final paper of the evening was an interest
ing one bv Benjamin Hand. Ph. P., of Harvard
University, on "Sew England Settlements in
Acadia." The society then adjourned until
this morning.
POLITICAL ECONOMY.
Papers Read at Yesterday Afternoon's Ses
sion of the American Economic Association.
Prof. Newcomb presided over the afternoon
session of the American Economic Association
yesterday in the absence of the president, Prof.
Walker. The first paper was read by Prof.
William W. Folwell, professor of political
science in the University of Minnesota. The
subject was: "A Syllabus of Political Economy."
The paper was an argument for the recognition
of public economy as a distinct though related
science, running parallel with that of private
or social economics.
The reading of the paper was followed by an
oral explanation of a set of nine charta show
ing the main features of a syllabus of Ameri
can public economy, devised by the speaker
and submitted to the judgment of the associa
tion. 'Ibis syllabus divides the subject men
tioned into three main divisions to which the
government appears, respectively, as (lj an ex
clusive manager and proprietor; (iI) as a regu
lator of private and corporate uctivity; (3; as a
mere contribution to science and industry.
EDUCATIONAL VALUE OF POLITICAL ECOKOlfT.
The next paper was entitled "The Educa
tional Value of Political Economy," by Prof.
Simon X. Patten of the University of Pennsyl
vania. He began by calling attention to the
study of mathematics and the monopoly it has
enjoyed as a means of lorval discipline. He
diii not think the claim of mathematics to so
exclusive a place is justified by the content of
the science, the character of the reasoning or
by the way in which it is taught. He then
sought to show that political economy was in
many respects fitted to become a substitute for
mathematics as a means of cultivating the
raLSoiiing powers, and that in some regards it
! is even superior to it. As a basis of this claim
it is advocated that completely deductive
sciences do not furnish as good a'mental dis
cipline as those sciences that are less advanced,
being in a state of transition from the induct
ive stage. At the close of the paper the writer
called attention to the errors into which the
teacher of economics is likely to fall and ad
duced many instance* of these errors. As an
instance of the error of mixing morals and
politics with political economy he cited Henry
Oeorge's "1'rogress and Poverty," wherein he
said Herbert Spencer's negative morality, the
moral qui -tion of the confiscation of land and
politic* w ere mixed up with a purely econom
ical question.
both papers gave rise to long discussions,
and the time was to fully occupied that the
reading of the thirtl paper on the program,
entitled "Land Transfer Reform, the Torrens
System of Land Registration," by Prof. J. W.
?leaks, was omitted and the association ad
journed until today.

Raid On ? Ud(lB( Hoose-A Baker's Dom
of PrlWMn Cluutwl With Vacnucy.
Forty men were sleeping soundly on the
tank* in the Mew York lodging house, on C be
tween 9th and 10th stroeta northwest, about 11
o'clock last night, when a squad of policemen
from the first precinct entered the tall build
ing. Policemen Kendall and Wannell led the
raiding party and three loads of male pris
oner* were driven to the police
station in the patrol wagon. The
ofiicers looked over the crowd and
selected thirteen of the number to take to
court. The charge made against them was
vagrancy. This morning when they filed into
the Police Court Lawyer Carrington said that
he had been employed by the proprietor of the
lodging houae to look after the unlucky num
ber.
Mr. Carrington spoke of the prisoners as poor
men who were looking for work, and said he
would plead not guilty for them.
FOOTPADS AT THE FOOT or THE CAPITOL.
Judge Stiller referred to other cases of the
kind that had been before the court. This
house, he remarked, is a hive out of which all
these people swarm in the morning. There is
another place of the kind on B street and both
localities are alive with this class of people.
"There is a sight presented here that I dare
say is not seen in any other city in the coun
try," he continued, "and it is right fit tho foot
of the Capitol. These gentlemen of the road
always look as though ready to hold up a man
or woman, and to do it with the air
of a Jack Shepherd or the late Reuben
Burrows. They rush up to people in a man
ner that is calculated to frighten them and beg
for monev to get a cup of coffee. They drink
tho free' coffee out of a saucer left on a table
and drink paid-for whiskv out of a plass on the
bar." The judge added that in disposing of
tlio prisoners before the court he would draw
the line between the workingmen and the
tramps.
A FIDDLER GETS OFF EASILY.
The first man called gave his name as Frank
Wilson. He said he was a violin player and
had played in Baltimore and Richmond. His
home was in New York. The officers did not
give Frank a bad name and tho judge took his
personal bonds.
John Ward's story was that he came here a
day before Christmas to get in a home. He
had $2 with him, but the officers said he spent
uiost of it for rum. He was scut down for 'jO
days.
A VICTIM OF THE OT3TXH PIRATES.
Tom Scott told the best story of the lot. His
home is in Baltimore, ho said, but he had been
down the bay on an oyster boat. "I was on
the boat for five weeks, your honor," he said,
"and when I was discharged at Britton's bay
the captain gave me $1 and put me ashore. ^ I
caine through here as the nearest way home.
"You cm have six hours to get out of the
District," said the court.
Elias Hammond is a resident of this city.
The officer characterized him as a loafer and a
drunkard. The prisoner claimed that he had
been selling eggs and his personal bonds were
accepted.
A QUAKER CITT "VAO."
Jake Campbell has been in Washington one
week. He came here from Philadelphia and
the judge thought that he might remain here
ninety days longer.but fixed the work house as
his home.
"THIS UAH's A TOCQH,"
said Policeman Kendall, as John Done stepped
to the front, and John's manner verified the
officer's statement. He tried to explain that
he was a workingman, when tho officer added:
"Why, judge, he tried to steal a stove in the
station. Here the prisoner showed fight and
it took the combined efforts of nearly a dozen
policemen to put him back into the cell. He
was given the limit of the law?ninety days.
Jesse Watson and Joseph Kuhn were called
and discharged.
Charles Miller, a pensioner, was the next to
answer. He was charged with being an habitual
drunkard. The Judge gave him thirty dayH in
which to get the liquor out of-him.
TWO BALTIMOREANS AND A HOSPITABLE WASHING
TON MAN.
George Rosa gave his home as the Marsh
Market in Baltimore. He got three months.
John Wilson, a boiler maker from Baltimore,
was discharged.
Jake Kossoph's reputation, as given bv the
officers, was not a good one. Jake is a resident
of this city and said he was sleeping at tho
lodging house because there was company at
home and he gave up his bed to them. Sixty
days.
William Pierce, the last of the thirteen, was
discharged.
GEORGETOWN.
THE CHRISTMAS MoBNINO HOMICIDE.
Several hours were devoted yesterday to an
autopsy and inquest over the body of Samuel
Duvall, the old negro who, as stated in yester
day's Star, was struck upon the head Christmas
morning with a stone or a club as he stood in
front of his house, which is between P street
and Rock creek, opposite the Metropolitan
street car stables. The testimony at the inquest
developed nothing further than a suspicion as
to the parties concerned in the homicide. An
employe of the Metropolitan car stables, Wash
ington L. Edmunds, testified that between 4:30
and 5 o'clock Christmas morning, while on his
way to work, he saw "Sonny" Epps. "Toney"
Walker and another colored man whom he did
not know, but would recognize him if he again
saw him. JU he neareil them,one of the negroes
picked up a stone and started to throw it at him,
when one of the othernegroe*said, "No! Don't
hit him! That's Edmunds." After complet
ing his testimony one of the prisoners
held as a witness, whose name is James Oliver,
was confronted by Edmunds, who immediately
recognized him as one of the two who hail a
banjo and whose name he did not know. Oli
ver admitted having a banjo, but denied being
anvwhere near the bcene of tho homicide, yet
Edmunds declares he saw some one coming up
from the hollow with a banjo, and this, lie
thought, was the man. Several other witnesses
were examined, but nothing more conclusive
could be obtained. No weight'was placed ui>on
the testimony of a small boy named Pat Gil
hoolev, who "stated that he saw tho old colored
man crawling in front of his house on his hands
and knees, and. thinking it was a ghost, threw
a stone about the size of his list at liim, but did
not know whether he struck the old man or not.
Further inquiries will be made in the case at
another inquest, to bo held tomorrow morning.
In the meantime the police are out looking for
more evidence.
HIS BODY FOUND IX THE CANAL.
The body of "Major" Walker, a well-known
colored man of this place, was found in the
canal near Agnew's wharf, foot of 34th street,
yesterday afternoon. He lived alone on a canal
boat, and had been missing since last Friday.
It is supposed that in attempting to reach the
boat he stumbled, and, falling on the ice, it
broke with his weight and he was drowned.
The linding of a hat on the ice Sunday led to a
' search and tho recovery of tho bodv. The
body was removed to the morgue and the coro
ner was notified.

Confldlng Tluw 'Pomum to HI* Cm.
A new offlce has been crested it the Execu
tive Mutfoo-tiukt of keeper of the royal
opossum?end CoL Jeremiah Smith, otherwise
known aa "tincle Jerry," haa been formally
designated by his colleagues around the man
sion by this title. The eanse of the creation of
the office was the arrival yesterday morning of
a Christmas box from a friend in Oeorgia to
Private Secretary Halford. When the box was
opened there appeared three large, fat, lively
'possums, their bright eyes blinking with wonder
at their new surroundings. Mr. Halford gravely
called Jerry into his presence and informed him
that he wished him to take charge of the ani
mals for him, as he had heard that he was an
expert on possum. Jerry's recent experience
witli a'possum thief, who appropriated unto his
own UKe a fine specimen that had just been
given Jerry and had been hung on a nook out
side the kitchen door, caufcd some hesita
tion in Jerry's manner as he accepted the 'rust
and carried his new charges down into the
basement of the mansion. It is asserted that
Jerry now stands lovingly over the box where
the Georgian trio lie with a queer, far-off look
in his eyes, and an occasional movement of the
back of his hand across his lips as if to wipe
away the crackling of an imaginary 'poe
nuni, roasted and stuffed with yams.
A good deal of well-founded surprise has been
expressed by those around the house that a
man of such worl?l> wisdom and general eru
dition as the private secretary, coming from so
well-informea a region as Indiana, should so
far forget or disregard all traditions as to in
trust three large fat 'possums to the csre of so
famous an epicure as Uncle Jerry, and while 110
one has yet, and probably no one ever will,
cast donbts upon the honesty, fidelity or in
tegritj of that gentleman of color, yet they are
now forming pools in the official household ns
to Just how many 'possumB Mr. Ilalford will
get out of the arrangement, for verily tempta
