CHANDLER ON THE COLOR LINE IN POLITICS, Senator Chandler spoke from the front steps of his residence, an de a short but vigo- rous speech. He assured the andience of his sympathy with every effort made for the wel- fare of the colored race. He objected to draw- ing any color line in politics, and said what was needed was the enforcement of the fif- teenth amendment. He thought that with a free vote and a fair count there would be no difficulty about white republicans in the south joining with the colored republicans to carry the southern states. In closing he said that the President was insympathy with these prin- ciples, and he urged that the people should not be impatient because in their opinion changes in the offices were not made rapidly enough. : Upon the conclusion of Mr. Chandler's ad- dress the crowd cheered him and then dis- persed. pe Lo THE PUZZLE SOLVERS.

The Fourth of July was never more enthus- isstically celebrated than it was yesterday i® Washington. The small boy and the fire- cracker were everywhere during the day, and the policeman discreetly made himself as in- visible as possible. At night the small boy's father helped him fire off rockets and candles, and the sky was illuminated during the first half of the night with streaks of fire and slowly and gracefully-moving fire balloons, Not only in the city, but at all the suburban places within a range of twenty miles the fizz of crackers, the crack of torpedoes and the sizzle of rockets | th were heard. There were formal celebrations of the day by the Oldest Inhabitants and by the residents of Takoma Park. ough there was a rainstorm in the middle of the day there was not much to compiain about in the weather.

The Fourth was celebrated yesterday at Ta- koma Park by a public meeting. The morning trains carried to that attractive suburban re- sort a large number of people from this city. They carried baskets, and it was the intention to spend the day in picnic fashion amid the ro- mantic scenery of the place. The rain, how- ever, interfered with the open-air plans for spending the day, but it did not put a stop to the meeting. The crowd assembled about the platform, which was decorated with American flags. On it were seated a suumber of promi- nent citizens of the Park and of this city, Mr. B. H. Warner presided in his usual pleasant way. Donch’s band furnished good music, After prayer by Rev. Dr. Remington, Repre- sentative Lowry, of Tennessee, read_the Declaration of Independence.

C. Williamson, C. F. Nesbitt, Andrew Wilson and F. E. Tasker. —_——.__— A BASE BALL DAY. The Washingtons Defeated Twice Yes- terday. By an odd perversity of fate the Senators were the only team of the two big associations that didn’t win a game yesterday. While in every other instance the clubs broke even in the double series of the day, Chicago greedily took both games from the poor wanderers from Washington and thus fattened her record in her up-hill fight. The winners in the morn- ing games were Chicago, Philadelphia, Pitts- burg and Boston. MORNING GAMES, Chicago banged out the first victory, aided by « frightful exhibition of fumbling by the Senators, the score being 11 to 4. Ferson and Daly and Hutchinson and Farrel! were the bat- terics at the start. In the third inning Ferson lost his grip and the team went to pieces, An- sou’s men scoring 9 runs. In the fifth Heal took Ferson’s place and the ex-champions hit him safely but twice. Sreeny played second and made 1 error, Wise played third and made 8 errors, Irwin failed on two balls, and so on, Washington made 7 hits and 9 errors and Chi- cago 9 hits and 7 errors. Daly led the batting of the day with a home-run and two singles. Carney made a couple of singles. Pittsburg’s score over New York was 4 to 2, Crane and Ewing and Morris and Fields being the batteries, Pittsburg made 7 hits and 1 er- ror and New York 4 hits and 1 error. The Phillies scored 5 times, while but 4 Hoosiers crossed the plate. The batteries were Getzen and Daily, Buffinton and Clements, Indianapolis made 8 hits and 3 errors and Philadelphia 7 hits and 5 errors. Boston shut the Infants out,6 to 0. Clarkson and Kelly and Beatin and Sutcliffe were the batteries. Boston made 6 hits and 8 errors and Cleveland 4 hits and 3 errors, AFTERNOON GAMES, The Senators played in hard luck in the af- ternoon, losing by the score of 8 to 5, They outbatted the Ansonians ager two to one, but could not bunch their hits. O'Day and Clarke and Gumbert and Farrell were the batteries. O'Day was unfortunately wild, giving 5 bases on balls. This was Gumbert’s number also, but O’Day’s were more disastrous, as they most deg 2 meant runs, Clarke did some wonderful batting, four times at the bat with three singles anda home run. Daly secured a double anda single and Carney two singles. Washington made 10 hits and 8 errors and Chicago 6 hits and 2 errors, “eth afternoon in New York 6, Pittsburg 4, is the Pittsburg. ‘Keote nd Eving and Galvin and Fields were the batteries. The Giants made 9 hits and1 error and the Smokies 7 hits and 3 errors.

Maurice Pechin and J. L. McCreary, of the Washington league. Notwithstanding the celebrations of the day there was an appreciative audience present, and the speakers sowed considerable seed for the George doctrines. Major J. K. agie, of Washington, who was present, asked some questions and, by invitation, made some remarks on debt and interest. He would abolish all law for the collection of debt and do away with interest except to the government, holding these steps to be preliminary to the adoption of the George doctrine. Mr. McCreary illustrated his address with a chart he had pre- see showing the effect of the single tax in e city of Washington. Tue House or Hox. Frep. Doverass was the scene of much festivity yesterday, his children, eager pate and other relatives to the num- er of thirty or forty people having gathered to spend the Fourth of July with him, as is their custom. The probability that he will not be at home regularly hereafter to receive them on Independence day syemed to give increased interest to yesterday's family celebration.

Progress of the Proposed Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railroad. Correspondence of Tae EvexiNo Star. Frepenick, Mp., July 3. The board of managers of the Frederick County agricultural society are making ar- rangements to improve the fair grounds here for the next annual exhibition in October. Machinery hall will be repaired and will proba- bly be used for dancing on July 20, the occa- sion of the annual harvest picnic of the farmers of Frederick cuunty. The Frederick mercantile association has received several important communications within the past few days relative to the Wash- ington extension of the Gettysburg and Harris- burg railroad, Col. J. C. Fuller, the president of the company, writes that the line of the first survey is now within 17 miles of Washington, but that this route will not be decided upon until others have been tried, the desire being tosecure the shortest and most direct route from Gettysburg to the national capital. He will arrange to hold a conference with the business men of Emmitsburg and Frederick relative to having the route made via these laces, He says he is backed in the enterprise ‘ay Cooke ‘to the amount of $200,000, aud only needs $60,000 additional to construct the new road. Liberal offers and inducements willbe made to him by the people of Frede- | rick and Emmitsburg. Itis likely that if the road is built through this county it will absorb what is at present known as the Emmitsburg railroad company, now operating 7 miles of track between the connection with the West- ern Maryland railroad and the village of Em- mitsburg. The depressing effect upon trade in Frede- rick by the loss of the county bridges across the Monocacy, and the fact that the new bridges in course of erection cannot be com- pleted before next October, has led the busi- ness men here to protest and to urge upon the county commissioners the immediate construc- tion of temporary bridges at the most impor- tant points, Hundreds of coun! people are cut of from communication with Frederick ex- cept by driving from 10 to 15 miles out of their way.

Two more a. for the democratic nom- ination for the house of delegates have made their apy nce in the persons of Mr. Fletcher R. Veitch, of the first district, and William Grady, of the fifth district. Mr. Grady has served one term in that body. The primary election will be held on the 3d of August, and the contest is waxing warm in all parts of the county. It is thought that the closest contest will be between Dr. Edward Wootton and How- ard Griffith for the state senate. The republi- cans will probably not nominate a ticket until after the democratic primary election.
