His tour is the only political event of the re- cess, but as yet Gladstone has said nothing of importance. : Lord Randolph Churchill's success in win- ning the oaks with Abbesse de Janare breaks his run of ill-success. Some scandal has been occasioned by the name selected for the mare, and an eminent ecclesiatic considers the Abbesse the most immoral heroine of modern literature.

He says the Boulangists’ watchword is ‘-Americanize, Amer- icanize, Americanize.” Batlamy’s ‘Looking Backwards,” English edition, is attracting much attention.

An Attache of the Ministry of War Arrested. Pants, June 8.—M. Reicher, a sous-intendant milaitaire, one of the attaches of the ministry of war, has been arrested.

A Witness in the Cronin Inquest Refuses to Reveal a Name. Curcaco, June 8.—John Moss. a member of camp No. 21 of the Clan-na-Gael, was put upon the witness stand in the coroner's investigation into the manner of Dr. Cronin’s death this morning. Ata meeting subsequent tothe marder a resolution was presented in this camp denouncing the deed. Moss moved that it be tabled, remarking that “perhaps Dr. Cronin’s removal was ordered by the exce- utive committee.” When called to the witness chair this morning and asked to give the name of the presiding officer of the camp, he re- fused to do so, and by order of the coroner was ordered into custody. Pending the arrival of the sheriff's deputy the witness gave evidence of great mental dis- tress, and finally signified his willingness to testify. He then said that the name of the presiding officer of his camp was Wm. H. Joyce. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

CROPLEY SAYS THE CANAL WILL NOT BE ABANDONED, BUT WILL BE REPAIRED BY PRIVATE CAPITAL BEFORE A RAILROAD REACHES GEORGETOWN. The Chesapeake and Ohio canal authorities have no information to vouchsafe as to the pos- sibilities of a reconstruction of the wrecked portions of the waterway. President Stephen Gambrill has examined the route from George- town to Harper's Ferry and is now in Baltimore getting ready the report which he will have to make to the state board of public works, at Annapolis, on the 13th instant. Treasurer Spencer Watkins was the only canal officer in town to-day, and he was busily engaged in going over and as- sorting a lot of papers relating to the receipts and expenditures of the company. WHAT TREASURER WATKINS SAYS. When asked by a Srar reporter what the company would probably do at its meeting he said: “I don’tsee what the company can do. It will probably discuss the matter with the board of public works, but it can’t do any more. Itcertainly can't fixthe canal, There is @ possibility that private capital may take hold and repair it, Somebody whose in- terests are large and whose prosperity is tied up in the canal may say: ‘I will repair the Cumberland level.’ Another, or others, may be willing to put the Georgetown level in working order, and another will propose to care for the Hancock division. It would not surprise me if there were a number of such propositions, The principal stumbling- block in the way of such a division of expense lies in the fact that the canal company cavnot give any kind of a guarantee, ‘Lhe cost of re- pairing the canal would not be anything like as heavy as some have stated; it can be done for $500,000,” MR, CROPLEY’S HOPEFUL NEWS, “The Washington and Western Maryland railroad will be built,” said Mr. A. B. Cropley, of Georgetown, to a Star reporter this after- noon. ‘But before we see anything of the rail- road we will have the canal repaired.” Mr. Cropley gave ntterance to that remark with a confidence in his tones that would indi- cate @ new canal, in full operation, before many months, “The canal,” continued Mr. Cropley, “is going to be repaired. There is a stronger sen- timent at this moment in favor of the canal than there has been for years past. I always was a canal man, but I am now more enthusiastic than ever. No railroad could do as much for the District of Columbia as that canal, properly managed, can do. No railroad can carry coal as cheaply as can a canal,” ADVANTAGES OF THE CANAL. “No railroad,” said Mr. Cropley, “would dis- burse as much money in our midst A big mogul engine can haul a thousand tons of coal in and then go away, the crew leaving, perhaps, $5 or $10 in town. Seven” canal — boats would carry one thousand tons of coal, and the boatmen would spend $250 right here in the District, I don't want anybody to imagine that we millers are selfish in this matter. Of course we want the Georgetown level fixed so that our mills may run, but we don’t want to stop there; we are not going to stop there. That canal must be repaired,” “Who will repair it?” asked the reporter. “The canal company is ed nara “We know that,”replied Mr.Cropley,“but we are not as helpless as is the company. The business interests along the 184 miles of canal are too great to be killed by the company’s forsaking its unfortunate property. There are scores of plants which will never be permitted torot and rust, as they would if the canal is not rebuilt, PRIVATE CAPITAL WILL REBUILD THE CANAL. “But private capital could not secure a guarantee of any description from the canal company,” suggested the reporter. “Tam aware of that,” said Mr. Cropley, “and Ithink Iam correct in saying that private capital will not plead with any of the holders of bonds. Private capital will go ahead and build that canal and then secure its share of equity in the courts. If the canal company abandons the property we shall not wait for either the Maryland legislature or the contending factions who own stock, Any unnecessary fay will put a hopeless end to hundreds of industrial establishments along be line of the canal, There must not be any elay.” “Has there been any agreement reached be- tween business men as to this SOMEWHAT REVOLUTIONARY REPAIR SCHEME?” “There has not yet,” was the reply, ‘but there will undoubtedly be ina little while. If the canal company, at its meeting on the 18th, makes official announcement of its abandon- ment of the canal or sys It is unable to do anything which is, in substance, the same. I think immediate steps will be taken to build the canal, and the canal company will not be asked to contribute. The state of Maryland ought to be interested in keeping the waterway in good condition, What built up Western Maryland? It wasn’t the Baltimore and Ohio road. It wasn't the march of steam and civilization. It was the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, and if the people of Western Maryland don’t want to wit- ness and to feel a serious depreciation in prop- erty values, they will do all their power to make the canal whole once more. I want to see a railroad into Georgetown as much as anybody does, but I want a canal, too; I want the canal’ first. The Washington and Western road _ will begin to materialize before long. That will run between the river and the canal up as faras the Chain bridge, thence through Maryland to Williamsport. We need both ¢ canil and the railroad, especially the cai RAIN ‘\G AT WILLIAMSPORT. The Work of Clearing up and Reliev- ing the Sufferers Goes On. Writtamsport, Pa., June 8.—The situation here has not materially changed, The work of cleaning up and relieving the sufferers goes steadily on. It is now raining quite hard here again, Mayor Foresman has issued a proc- lamation recommending special thanksgiving services in all our churches to-morrow. Nearly all the church buildings were flooded, and much damage done to them and the furniture. Services will, however, be held in the major portion of them to-morrow for the first time in two weeks, A number of linemen who returned yester- day from up the river report that they found the house of the Converse family bad} wrecked at McElhattan creek. The family consisted of wd serge Six of them were dead, and a months old babe was found alive, having been lying ina bed forty-eight hours unattended. The little one was nearly dead when rescued. The men also found two mem- bers of the Harrison family drowned. Every- thing in that section was badly washed out. sarees ttn Was His Own Lawyer and Won. Policeman Block, in the Police Court this morning, having been charged by Policemen Wheelock and Sergeant Bryan with violating the building regulations, Mr. Block acting as his own counsel, demurred to the information and substantiated the demurrer by quoting law, “Your point is well taken,” said Judge Miller, ‘Your demurrer is sustained and the charge is dismissed.” oe Sick from Disappointment. The appointment of Parsons, of the “white man’s party,” to be district attorney for the northern and middle district of Alabama, has prostrated one of the candidates, who was con- fidently expecting the appointment, and he is seriously ill in this city. James Jackson, of Alabama, was a Harrison man at the Chicago convention from the first, and stuck to his faith, He expected to get the district-attorneyship, being indorsed tor it by Mosely and the state committee, besides others Up to the last moment he expected the ap- Ppointment. When Parsons’ name was an- nounced at the White House he was so shocked that some of his friends have doubts of bis recovery.

EXAMI iG THE CANAL, Capt. Lusk Considering Measures for Cleaning Out the Trench. Ata meeting of citizens of Georgetown last night steps were taken to call the attention of the health officer to the condition of the canal bed and of Water street, which threatens the health of the community. Capt. Lusk, of the engineer department of the District, started out this morning to make an examination of that part of the canal bed lying in Georgetown and for the purpose of ascertaining the number of sewer outlets, Capt. Lusk thinks that the accumulated filth can be re- moved by making a tomporary dam across the first break in this level. causing the stream of of water which flows through the break now to run through the level further this way thereby clearing the bed of any objec- tionable accumulation. He was of the opinion that nothing would be done for several days at least. To-day Water street was cleared and put in good order, Soe WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

Yesteraay the concluding games in the tournament of the Southern lawn tennis associa- tion were played. The second prize in the doubles was won by Beach and McCawley. They beat Stevens and Herbert by a score of 6,2; 6,1. The latter had previously beaten rea and Pennington by a score of 6, 1; 3, 6; FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP, Perhaps the most interesting contest was the game between Post and McCawley for the championship of the association. Both men played in good form, and the games were well contested cs eee Post won, the score being 6, 8; 6, 8; 9, 7. THE WINNERS of the prizes in the tournament just closed are a8 follows: In the doubles—First prize, Post and Hodge; second prize, McCawley and Beach, In the singles—First prize, Mr. McCawley; second prize, Mr. Beach, Champion of the as- Prat iencben be teoaio layers that the major- is no nn ema; ity of the emis Sriceioon by District piayers and not carried off by Baltimore men, as bas been the case in previous tournaments, In fact the only prize won by out-of-town players, with the exception of the all-comers cup which was retained by Mr. Post, was the first prize inthe doubles. This result shows the rapid progress made in tennis playing in this Dis- trict, and, at the present rate of development, there is reason for believing that the champion- ship of the association will before long be held by some District man, THE DISTRICT LEAGUE GAMES. The games in the District tennis league have been interrupted somewhat during the past week by the association tournament, The mittee.
