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of doctrine but of fact, showing that in New York the Episcopal Church was disestab lisned by the Constitution, which repealed all parts of common the law which "might be con strued to establish or maintain any particular denomination of Christriana or their ministers.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. electioh or ornma. The following officers of the association tot the ensuing year were selected by the council yesterday: President, F. A. Walker; first vice president. Prof. C. F. Dunbar of Harvard; second vice president. Prof. W. W. Folwell, University of Jiiunesota; third rice president, Col. C. D" Wright, department of labor; secre tary-, Richard T. Ely.

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. DIED AWAY FROM HOME. Mrs. Anne M. Martin, wife of Luther Martin and daughter of the late Gustava* and Eliza beth Harrison of Georgetown, died in North Yakima, Wash., yesterday. Word was received last night from Macon, Ga., that Mr. George D.Sanger,a former resident of this place and a grandson of the late C'apt. G. W. P. Sanger, died there daring the day.

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 tion is a sore thing. And there are some who remember the Lord's prayer and particularly that phrase?"lead us not into temptation"? and wonder with what amount of conscience Mr. Halford could do aa he did yesterday.
