THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C.. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1889—TWELVE PAGES. SIX MONTHS IN OFFICE. The President and His Cabinet Have Become Thoroughly Acquainted. THE GROWING INFLUENCE OF MR. WINDOM w0- DICIOUS COURSE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE— SECRETARY NOBLE'S DISCOMFORTS—AGGRESSIVE MR. TRACY —THE POPULAR SECRETARY OF WAR. Mr. Harrison's cabinet are about as well set- tled in their chairs as they will be. It bas turned out a good cabinet. There is no ob- trusive greatness about it; it does not pose to any great extent nor go on dress parade. It 18 a business body, with considerable stateman- like ability. Seeretary Noble, perhaps, has bad least com- fort out of his position. He is a good lawyer and aiaan of not mean ability, but he always seems a little uncomfortable and lacking in coutidence at the head of that big department. People who have had to see him often at his Office are impressed with the idea that he is both punctillious and timid. He seems not to be always as sure of his own attitude, and he is more or less restrained and lacking in that freedom with others which other cabi- net officers exercise with tact. He is by no meansa free talker. But he has had more to annoy him than has any other cabinet offi- eer, having to endure the criticism that the sion office has provoked; and perhaps he Is that, first and last, enough talking is done to excuse a little reticence on his part. He probably has no ambition to do anything striking or great. He evidently feels the want of experience in public life. Now that Tan- Ber is gone he may be happier. MR. WIXDOM bas been growing in influence in the cabinet ever since he entered it. His former experi- ence has been of great zalue to him. His wise conservatism and self confidence have won upon the President, who has begun to feel that in him he has one of his most reliable supports. ‘At the beginning the cabinet was divided into two sets—those members whom Mr. Harrison selected for himself and those who were by force of circumstances and on account of their prominence in the ty fitted to their places. Noble and Miller were conspicuously of the former class, Wanamaker may be said to have won his way into the cabinet, as he hae since won his way to the front rank of that council. There was nothing out of the ordinary in_the manner of the selection of the others, Less than any were Blaine and Windom, the purely personal choice of the President. They went to the heads of their respective departments in the natural course of politics. There was a feeling at first thatthe President looked upon these two somewhat in the light of possible rivals for the honors of the administration. At the same time there was much said about the President's independence of his cabinet. WELL ACQUAINTED. Mr. Harrison and his cabinet have now made each other's acquaintance. There isa marked cordiality between them, and the President has learned to rely more on his advisers and better how to estimate their worth. In this process of getting acquainted Mr. Windom has gained immensely in influenc It would have to bea mighty strong argument that would prevail with the President over the advice of his S retary of the Treasury. There is something in Mr. Windom’s placid disposition that has greatly taken the fancy of the President. He bas on no occasion shown himself to be im the least disturbed or lack- ing in resource. The spirit which enabled him to rise to the emergency when he imade the bond extension in Garfield's time is still with him. and Mr. Harrison has come to feel that no emergency can arise too great for his powers, It was this confidence in the Sec- retary of the Treasury that decided the ques- tion against an extra session of Congress. In cabinet Windom has a quiet way of setting forth his arguments that gives him great puwer. Itis said that he can state a complex prob- lem more concisely than any other member of the cabinet. He isa man of marvelous amia- THE JUDICIOUS SECRETARY OF STATE. If Mr. Harrison ever bad any suspicion that Mr. Blaine wanted to run the administration he no longer holds it, After all the talk there has been in the newspapers on that subject it was but natural if Mr. Blaine felt under some con- straint on entering the cabinet not to press his Views too strongly to the front. It is the com- ment of observant men who have been watching him pretty closely that he has shown a wonderful amount of prudence since he went to the head of e State department. He has not tried to force his advice upon the President nor to resist when Mr. Harrison chose to follow his own leas rather than those of the Secretary. He has endeavored. however, to be judicious and conservative in bis expressions on all occasions, and instead of the estrangement that was pre- dicted to grow up between them a greater con- fidence has appeared, and Mr. Harrison turns more frequently to the Maine man for advice and is more apt to follow that advice when given. Mr. Tracy is the shrewd and aggressive man of the cabinet—the Whitney. The business men who have todo with the de; like Tracy. They say he has a thorough un- derstanding of a business proposition, and is | not narrow-minded nor a hair-splitter. He is not easy to foul. He looks out from under those shaggy gray brows with a pair of sh little eyes tha about everything that is going ou. He is always approachable and has the he: of the men who have business with the depurtment and have, in former times, so Often been forced to submit to tedious delays, PROCTOR IS THE ABRAHAM LINCOLN OF THE AD- MINISTRATION. He resembles the best portraits of Lincoln and is credited with some of the characteristics of that great man. He is probably the most popular Secretary of War with the officers of as presided over that depart- ars. He is a man of more a ‘tment all a polished manners than was the great abolition- ist President, but he has that same air of honest simplicity that so marked Lincolu. He isa slow-speaking. patient and amiable man under ail circumstances and habitually has a good- natured smile or his face while in conversa- tion. All the little jealousies and wranglings | common in the military service seem to disap- pear under his administration of the depart- He is not a stickler as to rank and pre- cedesce when nothing is involved, and he dis- courages by example small bickerings among the officers over these matters. He would stand better as the personitication of arbitra- tion than as the representative of frowning war. ‘here is something about him that shames the arrogance of the average army officer. Mr. Wanamaker has not only lived up to his reputation as a business man, but has gone be- yond his first promise and is acknowledged to be the best organizer and most methodical man in the cabinet: and, withal, the greatest bustier. Excepting Windom, perhaps, he is most thor- hly the master of his work. He is the head of his department. Six months’ observation does not seem to have changed the popular impression of Farmer Busk. He is the same “Uncle Jere.” Asa good Attorney General Mr. Miller has | vindicated the President's selection. see mo An “Eye Opener” for Men.

How the Two Games in Boston Yester- day Resulted. THE ST. LOUIS TEAM AGAIN DEFEATED—RACE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP—THE PLANS OF TEE BROTHERHOOD—BALL NOTES. Yesterday was another bad day for base ball, with Boston the favored spot once more. In every other league city there was rain or else wet grounds,so that the schedule went for naught. In Boston the pennant aspirants were given a set-back by the league Infants, and, had it not been for a piece of luck, would have had a pair of black eyes instead of one. Two games were played, the first of which was won by Cleveland, 3 to 0, and the second was a tie, 4to4. Radbourne tried to do the Clarkson act and pitched in both games, but without the success that attended the great twirler on Thursday. Ganzel and Bennett were his catchers. Opposed to him in the first game were Beatin and Sutcliffe. The fielding of both teams was excellent, but Boston batted rly. Cleveland made 8 hits and 3 errors— all by Sutcliffe—and Boston 4 hits and 4 errors, In the second game Gruber and Zimmer were put into the points for the Babes. The good fielding was kept up and Boston managed to bat more effectively. Radbourne tied the score in the ninth by lifting the ball over the fence forahome run. Cleveland made 6 hits and 2 errors and Boston 7 hits and 3 errors. The only association game played was in Philadelphia. where the Athletics rubbed the punishment in on the St. Louis Browns by de- feating them 11 to 0. The fielding was sharp, but McMahon held the visitors down to 3 hits. THE LEAGUE RACE is still a close one, with Boston holding the lead by an oscillating margin. This week has given the Hubbites an opportunity to improve their pennant chances, which they did to some extent. The Phillies have about given up hope for anything higher than third place, and they realize that they will have to hustle to keep out of Anson’s way. Cleveland can go no higher than the head of the second division, and it really looks as though the Senators will have to satisfy themselves with hopes for 1390. In the association the pennant will surely go to Brooklyn, The following is the record: LEAG! Clubs, = Won. Pra.

But one game today. The Infants braced up considerably. Radbourne was not equal to the task of two in succession. The Wilmington, Del., club of the Middle States league has disbanded. Too much credit cannot be given to John Clarkson for his nerve in pitching the two games at Boston yesterday. This man is a credit to base bail, “as he is one of the first men of our present day to show that a pitcher can pitch two games in succession if he is so dis- posed.—N. Y. Sun. New York could beat out Boston if “Old Probs.” would keep his hands off, says the Herald, “If the Giants fail to win this ye: Manager Mutrie, “the weather blame.” The number of league batters who have made over one hundred safe hits this season has been increased to thirty-seven. Wilmot, lee and Hallman are the latest additions to the list. g ow that the Norwalk team has disbanded Andy Ridley is open for an engagement. He did some clever work while with that club.”— Sun. Here's’a pointer for Bro. Arthur. It is reported from Pittsburg that three dis- tinct efforts to secure control of the Pittsburg club have been made during the past week. President Nimick declares that a broker and | two business men, representing syndicates, have priced his share and the entire club. He gave them a figure, for, while not anxious to sell out, he will, of course, do so at good fig- ures, He valued the franchise at a fig sum, some claim $100,000. The special meeting of the American associa- tion called for Philadelphia today has been postponed by President Wikoff to September 23 at Cincinnati, Owing to a pressure of busi- ness a quorum could not be secured at Philudel- phia, The glorious uncertainties of base ball were never more conclusively shown. First, Chi- eago goes to Cleveland and beats the Infants three straight. Then the Infants come to Washington and beat the Senators three straight, and now the Senators turn around and beat Chicago three straight. Base ball is not a good game for the gambler.—Chicago Tribune. Then add to this the defeat of the Senators for three straight games in Chicago on the recent trip and the thing becomes odder than ever. ‘The New York-Boston controversy as to which is the best base bail city still . The Herald says: “When such men as Bennett, Ganzel and Dan Brouthers say that the Boston public are the coldest crowds toward the home team they ever played before there must be something in AL) Manager Mutrie still smiles. “No surrender until the last ball is pitched,” he says. “Then if Boston shall have won nobody will offer con- gratulations to the Hub men more heartily than New York,” McAleer, the center fielder of the Cleveland team, is at his home at Youngstown, Ohio, suf- fering considerable pain by reason of the torn ligaments in his left ankle. Surgeons have or- dered him to remain perfectly quiet tor at least two weeks, when it is believed he will be able to walk out, The brotherhood’s winter scheme for '89-'90 has come to light. They have something to agitate every year during the dull season be- tween games, and for that reason they are generally blessed. The plan of the brother- hood is to run the game on a sort of co-operative basis, placing the management of the whole af- fair in the hands of a general committee of eight, consisting of one representative from each league club. These clubs will probabl be formed in New York, Boston, Chicago, Phil- adelphia, Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Washington Louis. Each club will have a stock capital of $20,000, some of which | will be taken by the players aud the rest by the men who are to act as officers and financial backers, ‘The players are to receive a small but fair salary and a percentage of the net profits. The receipts, after all expenses, in- cluding the players’ salaries and percentages, are paid, are to be put into a pool and divided into eight equal parts, one share going to each club. It is hoped by this to bring the cities all on the same financial footing and do away with the claim that the strong cities are maki money at the expense of the weak. From eac club's share of the net profits a stated amount will be paid into a sinking fund and the rest paid out in dividends on stock, Another new feature will be the hanging w of big money prizes for the first and secon and, pethaps, third clubs in the championship race, The amount has not been yet deter- mined, but it has been suggested’ that each club put say $5,000 in the “pot” at the open- ing of the season. This would make $40,000 to play for, of which the winning team would take hayley the second $10,000 and the third There will be no Sunday games, no liquor selling on the grounds und but little change in the prices of admission, unless a motion now under debate to reduce the “bleaching board” tickets to 25 cents is carried, FACTS FROM THE RECORDS, Stricker leads the league second basemen in put-outs, his record being 386 in 106 games. Pfeffer leads in assists with 396 in as many con- tests. Kelly, Anson, McKeon, Glasscock, D. Rich- ardson, Thompson, Beckley, Duulap, Wilmot | and Hoy are the great sacrifice hitters of their | respective teams, tyan is Chicago’s best base stealer. Brown has upheld Boston's honor in that respect, MeAleer for the Clevelands, Glasscock for Indisnapolis, Ward for New York, Fogarty for Philadelphia, Hunlon for the Pittsburgs and Hoy for the Washingtons.

TENNIS TOURNAMENTS. The Contests at the Highlands on Mon- day—Other Tournaments. All the arrangements for the open tennis tournament at the Highlands country club have been completed. Play will begin on Tuesday upon the arrival of the train which leaves the Baltimore and Ohio depot at 12:10, The com- mittee have decided to offer a prize open only to District players, It will be played for at the close of the tournament, and only the District players who have not been defeated by a Dis- trict player will be eligible to contend for this prize. It is expected thatthe players froma distance, who have entered for the tournament, will begin to arrive in the city on Monday. Their names have already been printed in Tue Star, and the list includes some of the best- known players in the country. The courts have not been injured by the recent rains and are in condition. Ample accommodations have een made for spectators, and it is hoped that all who take an interest in tennis demon- strate it by their presence. TENNIS IN LE DROIT PARK. The rain again prevented play in the Le Droit Park tennis tournament yesterday, but it is hoped that itmay proceed today. Play will begin at 3:30, The trophy offered by Mr. A. W. Harrison for singles is on exhibition at the courts during play and is very unique in design, It was made by the Meriden Britannia company and is in the form of a silver cigar box, Statuettes on the lid represent a lady and [aera in graceful tennis costume and at- tude. Crossed rackets adorn the ends, and the interior ia divided off by miniature nets into spaces for about fifty cigars and a moisten- ing medium. The sides are very artistically en- graved. It is beautiful as well as ex gly appropriate, A BOYS’ TOURNAMENT. Atournament for the boys of Washington city will be held at the grounds of the Wash ington Heights tennis club, Wyoming avenue, on Wednesday, September 18, at 2:30 p.m. Entries will be announced on Tuesday next. The following prizes have been donated: Barber & Ross, an association racket; Wood- ward & Lothrop, ; and a handsome racket case by a lady friend of the managers, The Capital tennis club will hold its fall tour- nament shortly after the 1st of October. The details are not yet arranged. ees NEW YORK AND THE EXPOSITION. Mayor Grant’s Modest Request—The Reply of the District Commissioners. When the District Commissioners’ mail was opened yesterday there was a letter addressed to “The Honorable Mayor of Washington” among them, The letter was a communication from layor Grant of New York requesting the co- | operation of the municipal authorities here in securing the international exposition to cele- brate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America for New York city. The matter was referred to the board, who, after some consid- eration, adopted the following reply to Mayor Grant: “The Commissioners of the District of Colum- bia have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letterof the 11th instant be pose the aid and co-operation of the city of Wash- ington, its authorities, commercial bodies, in- dustries and citizens in insuring an interna- tional exposition in 1892 in New York city for the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Co- lumbus. In reply we beg leave to say that we believe it to be the almost universal desire of the people of the United States that the pro- posed exposition, being of an international character, should be held at the capital city of the nation, which has many manifest advan- tages for such a purpose, As our citizens and local authorities have been for seve earnestly engaged in endeavoring to location of the exposition in Washington and as these efforts have our earnest sympathies and support we are not at liberty to comply with your request, Should the exposition be held in the City of New York it will give the authorities and citizens of Washington pleasure todo all ia their power to aid in making it worthy of the United States and the industrial progress of the world.” a TEEMER AND GAUDAUR, The St. Louls Oarsman Finishes First but Teemer Claims a Foul. The single-scull race at McKeesport yester- day afternoon between John Beemer and Jacob Gaudaur of St, Louis resulted in a misunder- standing. Gaudaur finished first. The race instead of being the fine exhibition it was ex- pected to be turned outa miserable failure. Early in the afternoon Teemer went alone, and Gaudaur, accompanied by Al Hamm, his trainer, proceeded to Barandis Grove, about a quarter ofamile from the starting portof the race, and at 5 o'clock six steam boats and a variety of smaller crafts sailed down the river, and all but the referee's boat took positions along the course, utterly regardless of the rights of the contestants, ‘The referee’s boat rounded to at the starting joint at 5:30 and at 5:35 Teemer got into his Boat and came down to the end of the course amid the cheers of hundreds of admirers on all the boats in sight, and numerous bets of $100 to #75 and $100 to 260 were offered, but none of them were taken. Teemer’s friends then offered two to one on their favorite and several bets were taken. St. John, who was on the referee's boat and had furnished the stake money for Gaudaur, declined to take any of the bets offered. HAMM’S BOAT ON THE COURSE, At 5:45 Gaudaur came to the starting point and Al Hamm at the same time was seen to enter his boat a quarter of a mile further up the course and take a position well out from the shore. Gaudaur won the toss for position and took the north shore side of the river. Teemer took the lead almost at the first stroke. By the time they had reached the point where Hamm set out Teemer was nearly two boat lengths ahead of Gaudaur and soon took the inside track, The referee's boat was slow in starting, but was near enough to the oarsmen before a mile had been made to see Hamm get directly in Teemer's way and collide with his boat. Soon Teemer was seen to fall behind both Gau- dapr and Hamm, who rowed leisurely away from him, followed closely by all the river craft carrying spectators, except the referce’s boat. They reached the end of the course in 6.06, Teemer being at the time, although ap- parently pulling with all his might, nearly half ile behind. “Two of Teemer's brothers and “Billy” Nickerson of Boston, Teemer’s friend, made a claim of foul when Hamm was seen to get in Teemer's way. Teemer continued on over the course although the waves from the numerous steamers which had passed him were running four feet high. A QUARREL BEVORE THE REFEREE, At 7 o'clock the referee, J. D. Pringle, Gaudaur, Hamm, Teemer and a few of their friends met ata room in the National hotel. Teemer claimed the race ona foul. He said that Hamm came out on the course and ran into his boat, baeaage Se hole in it and causing it to fill with water. jamm denied the allega- tion and intimated that Teemer was Lopes | a falsehood, whereupon the latter rushed at him and struck him a tearful blow in the face, The two men clinched and rolled on the floor, but were separated and Hamm was induced to leave the room. By this time a crowd was at the door clamoring for admission and demand- | ing a decision by the referee. In order to avoid violence being done here tonight the referee said he would not announce his decision until this afternoon, Up to the time Teemer passed Gaudaur | within the first half mile or so he was rowing 42 strok minute and Gaudaur two or three strokes less. It was thought last night that Pringle will decide that Teemer was fouled by Gaudaur’s trainer, as all the press representatives claim they saw Hamm get into Teemer's way, though they could not say whether the boats collided or not. The time occupied by Gaudaur in passing over the course, which was little, if any, over three miles, was 23 minutes. ee Fire Engineers in Session.

Castleman was also a married man and his descendants are to be found at this day in Kentucky—men of honor and probity—one of whom, Gen. John B. Castleman of Louisville, having ‘been adju- tant general of the state. Swift, exercising his powers as a medicine man to relieve the sufferings of a sick Indian chieftain, was rewarded with the secret of the rich silver mine, and he and Castleman carried away from the place when they returned to civilization several tons of the precious metal loaded on the bucky of ponies. They were on friendly terms with the In is and from time to time returned for fresh supplies of silver. Finally Castleman died and he left as a legacy to his descendants no information as to the location of the mine. After his death Swift made several trips to the rich ore bed, on two or more occasions accompanied by his eldest son. He was eventually killed in a fight with a small band of Indians that were on the war path, The son knew the secret of the mine and he visited it, took the large quanti- ties of the ore and, being an enterprising man, melted the metal and cast it into trade dollars, which, intriusically, are worth one-third more than the dollars issued by the government. These coms are crudely made, On the ob- verse side is the efiigy of an Indian and the words “One dolla On the reverse side is the legend “Lil and the words “State of Kentucky” encircling a bear rampant. There is no telling how many of these coins Swift put in circulation, but they are still to be found among the mountaincers, aud the “Swift” money passes current whenever presented.
