Interesting information from official sources concerning the condition of the internal debt of Peru up to May 31 has been received by the bureau of American republics. ‘he issue au- thorized by congress in 1888 was $33,000,000, of which amount $32,000,000 bears interest at 1 per cent, the remainder bearing no interest, but being admissible at the periodical amortization, ‘The amortizations beginning in December, 1889, have been six in number; $6,788,382 of the debt has been canceled, $25,846,417 of the amount still due bearing interest. ‘The interest and sinking fund are supplied from the alcohol duties, which are paid monthly by collectors direct to the public debt committee at the rate of $35,437 a month or $425,245 a year. In ad- dition to this 5 per cent of the customs receipts are handed over monthly to the game commit- tee, making the total amount of the fund for the service of the debt $641,245. The funds at present in hand are $233,502. After paying in- terest the amount thus left for the sinking fund is nearly 400,000 annually, which ought to in- sure a continuanes of the quarterly amortiza- tions and a rise in the value of the bonds. ‘The Prices ‘at the last amortization on May 31 ranged from $7.50 to $8.50, and debt to the nominal value of $1,351,962 was bought by the government. The produce of the alcohol tax, which was instituted for the pu of paying off the internal debt, is wendy fncrousing ‘and its collection is put up at public auction an- nually.

Up to last Satur- day afternoon there was no cloud on the title, but before sunset the glory had departed and the District riflemen wore simply ex-cham- pious, New York had captured both the Hilton and interstate trophies. Every member of the Washington team was asleep by 10:30 on Friday night and their slum- bers were undisturbed until about 6 o'clock on Saturday morning. There had been a general demand for rain and when daylight arrived the liquid was coming down as though Dyrenforth dynamite balloons had been operating over Long Isiand during all the hours of darkness. As day older the rain became more sincere, and when the teams moved to the fir- ing point, shortly before 10 o'clock, there was ample promise of a steady downpour. THE INTERSTATE MATCH. It was 10:80 before the first shot was fired in the interstate match. For awhile the fusillade was steady, but as rain and wind increased there was a marked tendency toward delibera- tion on the part of the riflemen. Finally th st became #0 violent that “cease sage Was sounded and for about twenty minutes the sharpshooters sat in their tive tents. ¥as shelters were erected at the four firing points (New York and Washington each having wo targets) and as soon as the weather ecttle down a triffe business was resumed. Each man fired ten rounds at 200 yards in the interstate match and when those scores had been com- pleted the same men in the same order of firing put in seven shots more, these latter being his total in the first stage of the Hilton competi- tion. Up to this point Washington had proven the ability of the Sringfield rifle to compete with the “special” guns and ammunition used by their competitors, for the score in the inter- sinte match was a tie at 490 points, while inthe Hilton struggle New York was four points to the rear. At this range the instruments used Were more nearly equal than at any other and tho home team may be congratulated for the very fine record ite members mad A light lunch occupied the attention of the competitors until 2 o'clock and then they re- turned to the range. Instead of the 500 and 600 yards’ work being done on the targets which were used last year and which had been used during the past week the closing stages were shot on canvas targets set up alongside the 200- yard bull’s-eyes. ‘There was only a little rain at this time, but the wind blew gustily across the range and turned many a well-aimed bullet from its intended course. First to be fired were ten concluding rounds in the interstate match. and when that bad been done it was seen that New York was thirty points ahead, the totals of the complete scores being New York, 1,026; Washington, 996. ‘Then the Hilton struggle was continued un- til the last bullet had sought the targets from 600 yards firing point, and New York was the winner.

A few very properly inquisitive people may want to know why the Washington total in the Hilton match was smaller than that of last year. The explanation is an easy one, and one that cannot be denied by any one who watched the progress of events on Saturday afternoon. That the home team failed to win was due to two things. First to, the fact that the regulation “factory” ammunition used with the Spring- field gun has not the penetration or wind-dety- ing power which is the feature to be looked for in bullets of 550 grains propelled by eighty grains of powder; and, secondly, to the abom- inably untair marking indulged in by the men whose duty it was to be thoroughly honest. ‘The members of the New York team must not Le blamed for using the ammunition with which they compelled victory—they simply took advantage of a purposely made loop- hole in the regulations of that organization which was once “the National Rifle Association of America,” nor can they be held responsible for the sharp practice indulged in by the markers. Noone has a word of complaint to utter against the empire state team—they are gentlemen and they put up some phenomenal scores—but Washington hasa large grievance against the management which would permit such disc-bobbing as was practiced upon the District team, especially at the 500 and 600 yards ranges. ‘The unlearned layman may see for himself how the thing worked. When a target is hit itis the duty of the marker to putup on the shot mark a disc, the color of which gives the value of the shot. ' Of course it is important that the man shooting shall know how much he makes, but it isequally important that he should be accurately informed as to the position of the shot. Itis not enough tobe signaled that he made a four; he wants to know whether it was high or low, to the right or the left of the bull’s-eye. Ifhe putin a four on the right an@ the wind is blowing hard from the right, then, if he desires to hit the _bull’s- eye. he will move his wind-gauge to the left and may with his next shot get the coveted tive. But if he gets a four to the right and the marker pops a four dise up on the opposite side of tue conter, then the rifleman takes more right wind, and as result his bullet whistles harmlessly by the target on the right side. ‘That was game which was frequently played on Washington Saturday afternoon. the accusation cannot be denied or knocked down. ‘There are too many living witnesses; the ocular demonstration of dishonesty was clearly visible to numerous pairs of first-class eyes. Some of the exes were adjusted to tel and to them the cheat was plain. On the two New York turgets the marking was deliberate and accurate, on the Washington targets (and on one of them especially) the discs were bob- bed up with such action a8 might be looked for ina fisherman who had an unexpected bite. ‘There was no attempt on the part of the mark- ers to locate the shots, and as a uenco sonic of the scores were far below what they would have been had the markers been com- pelled todo that which was right. New York- ers saw the difference in the marking and no one tried to excuse it or improve it. Were there no other reason that one would in itself be sufficient to deter any outside team from again visiting Creedmoor. GEN. ORDWAY DEPERS ACTION. gF aay such place this letter to end all rifle clubs may compete forthe Hilton and inter- state trophis but military teams will stay away. It ma at some future day when much chloride of lime, as it were, has up and rendered innoxious the Creedmoor of today, that sharpshooters will once more assemble at Long Inland range to compete fairly an: lor supremacy, but unless ae Temar} and unlooked-for upheaval takes place Croedmoor is dead to all but New York. NEXT YEAR AT SEA GIRT. Next year Sea Girt will capture the crowd, and if the Eastern Rifle Association turns out to be the success it now promises to be defunct Creedmoor will never again be heard of. NOT AT ALL SULKY. There was nothing sulky in the demeanor of the losers on Saturday, as has been charged. New Yorkers cheered them at the depot, and had a suficient number of the Washingtonians been available the compliment would have been returned: the home team was scattered and could not be gathered until the train came. This fact was made kuown to the New Yorkers and they accepted the statement with Tenewed cheering. Between the teams there was not nor is there any ill feeling: that will be shown when the New Yorkers shoot here on Saturday next, WASHINGTONIANS WHO WERE THERE. The Washington team is under lasting obli- gations to its quartermaster, Capt. Parmenter. He worked incessantly to make every one gom- fortable and he succeeded wonderfully. The quartermaster, asa rule, is a target for cal- umnious profanity, but Capt. Parmenter is not that kind of a quartermaster. Col. Clay was the center of attraction on the range, both at Sea Girt and Creedmoor. That @ man with one arm, and that a left one, should do such good shooting as he did excited the wonder and admiration of every one. The Washingtonians who visited Creedmoor on Saturday and who witnessed the defeat of their representatives were Maj. and Mrs. Ald- rich, Maj. E. R. Campbell, Quartermaster J. L. March, Quartermaster Sergeant 8. J. Brown of the fourth battalion, Dr. McDowell, who was until recently adjutant of the sixth, and E. K. Lynch of the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company. THE MARKSMEN HOME AGAIN. The team, with one or two exceptions, took the midnight train from Jersey City and ar- rived here yesterday morning at 8. None of the men were discouraged because of their de- feat. The brightest members of the party were the members of the first regiment team. They won the Lig bronze interstate trophy at Sea | C4ught Donohue’ Girt and, therefore, bad good cause for rejoicing. low many individual prizes were won by local men at Creedmoor cannot yet be stated, asthe work of making up the prize list will not be complete until today.

Labor day was celebrated by the base ball fraternity this morning by the playing of a game between the Columbus and Washington teams. The non-appearance of Umpire Kerins caused a delay of about ten minutes in the game, Which was to have been started at 10:80. The clubs took the field in the following order, both in black suits: Washington—Murphy, left field; McGuire, right ficld; Sutcliffe, catcher; Curtis, center; McCuuley, first base; Dowd, second; Hatfield, short; Alvord, third, and Duke, pitcher. * Columbus—Crooks, second: O'Rourke, third: Duffee, center: Sneed, right; Twitchell, left; Donohue, catcher; Wheelock, short; Lehane, first; Gastright, pitcher. THE GAME OPENS. Columbus took the field first and Carsey and Knell were finaily selected as umpires after a consultation between Managers Shannon and Smeltz. Play was begun at 10:41, with Carsey piring at the plate and Knell on the bases. There were about 300 people present. ‘ ‘Murphy caught a good bail on the end of his bat and sent it over second for one base. Mc- Guire lined another past Lehane for a single and Sutcliffe dropped a safe one in right, Mur- phy scoring the first run of the g Curtis gave Ci an easy bounder and a double lay was the result, Sutcliffe being touched as tan down and Curtis being caught at first. McGuire went to third, where he remained, as McCauley thed to center. Mr. Knell then waltzed up to the rubber and rough on Duke and was given a iz by the bleachers when he sent Crooks down on balls. McCauley picked up O'Rourke's bunt and retired him, while Crooke went to second on thesacrifice. Duffiee hit down to Alvord, who seemed to forget all about Crooks at first, and was going to throw to first when he sud- denly remembered, turned in time to touch therunner, and then he surprised the crowd by cutting off the batsman at frst, retiring the side, First inning— Washington, 1. Columbus, 6. THE SECOND. In the second Dowd flied out to Dnffee, who made himself solid in another minute by taking aline fly from Hatfield's bat at arm's length. He made a clean sweep of the business by put- — out Alvord also, thus putting out the le Knell saw hot work before him when he went in to call balls, and took off his collar and neck- tie. Sneed dropped a safe one in left and bravely tried for second on it. He would have been ‘put out had Dowd held Murphy's throw-in, but Tcmmy managed to let it ran up his arm. ‘Then Alvord fumbled Twitchell’s little ball, and after he had fly he tried to field in Wheelock’s bunt sos to let Sneed make the plate. Lehane was at the bat when a very wild pitch let Twitchell in and put Wheelock on | third. Lebane’s ball was not hard, but Alvord fell as he went for it, and, though he picked it up in time, his throw. struck Whoclock in the back and the third run was tallied. A passed ball put Lehane on second and then Gastright fouled out to Sutelifle. Crooks hit over Dowd’s head for a base and Lehane scored. Then O'Rourke lined outa single over Hatfield. A very wild pitch put Crooks on third and O'Rourke on second, and when Dutfee went down on balls the diamond was fully occupied. O'Rourke wasp ing off second and Sutcliffe thought that Re could catch him napping, but he threw wildly and Crooks scored. Duffee stole down ina minute aud O'Rourke scored when Sutcliffe muffed Hatfield's return in of the throw-down. Another little passed ball let in Dutfee, and with the bases empty Sneed was sent down on balls and Twitchell hit toleftfor a base. Then a single went out from Donohue’s bat to center, one from Whee- lock’s to left, on which Lawrence Patrick made an error, and still another to right-center for the seventh safe hit of the inning, on which the eleventh man scored. Then at last, amid the cheers of the crowd, Duke hauled’ down Gastright's bounder and retired the side. Second inning— Washington, 0—1. Columbus, 11—11. ‘TuIRD INNING, Kerins had appeared on the field in the meantime and at the end of the inning relieved the two pitchers who had been umpiring. A battery change was indicated at the begiuni of the ‘third’ by Cassia’ going to the bat Sutcliffe went to the bench scowling at the scorers, who had made some uncomplimentary allusions to his poor work. He shook his hand as if it were sore. Cassian fouled out to the catcher, but Mur- hy lined a safe ball past Lehane for a base. McGuire nit at the pitcher. too hot for hie to hold and the batter was safe on the scratch hit.

He scored when Crooks inade 1d sat down on a hot curb- | # bad tangle on Curtis’ ball. After McCauley had struck out Dowd pushed a little safe bail over second that 1. between the four feet of Wheelock and Crooks. Curtis went on to third and Dowd reached second on the throw- in. Hatfield might have scored a couple more runs, but he put up a foul for Donahue. Cassian’s work, and, indeed, that of the whole team, was’ much better ‘in the third. McGuire went in to catch him, and the change worked well. Crooks hit safely to center, but was forced at second by O'Rourke. Duffeo put a safe ball through both Alvord and Hatfield, but the latter took a little fly from Sneed’s bat and Twitchell hit to pitcher and went out at first. Third inning— Washington, 3—4. Columbus, 0—11. A LIVELY INNING. The fourth was inspiriting to the bleachers. Alvord dropped a ball into left near the line, that, by bounding sideways, made itself a two- base hit. Twitchell made a great catch of Cassian's fly, but Murphy hit down to third and O'Rourke stopped to threaten Alvord long enough to let Murphy get his base. McGuire filled the circuit by going down on balls, and then Sutcliffe kept up the redeeming process by lining a single to center.

Thousands of people have visited the Botani- cal Gardens during the past three days to get a glimpse of the royal water lily with its mam- moth leaves cight fect in diameter. Today there was a steady crowd from 9 o'clock a m. until dark. The big centennial fountain in the center of the grounds was the center of attraction. Here the leaves of the lily are the largest, although those found in the little fountain just south of the main green- house are large enough to support a good- sized child, and Assistant Superintendent Rey- nolds was kept busy all day placing the little ones on the huge pads, where they shouted for joy at their peculiar seat. The blooms of the lilies have about disap- peared, although there are several large bude which will flower during the week. Owing to fhe cool weather, which affects the temperature f the water, this will probably be the last week that an opportunity can be bad of witnessing this beautifal and strange flower. shox accom: panying picture was made from a phot take of The lily with C a tive Som Sam of assistant superintendent sitt one of the mammoth leaves. aia) cfc sse THE MARYLAND OYSTER FIELDS, Encouraging Reports From All the Oyster- Producing Counties. An Annapolis dispatch to the Baltimore Sum vs: From the cleven oyster-producing coun- tics of Maryland come encouraging reports con- cerning the oyster industry. The outlook is for a better season than has been kuown for years. The vigilance of an efficient oyster navy and the embodiment in the oyster law of the culling feature, probibiting young oysters from being caught, are responsible for this favorable state of affairs. It is too carly in the season to expect the oysters to be fat and juicy like they wili be later on. They are, however, of good flavor, and at some places, Oxford and Easton for instance, command as high as 70 cents a bushel. In Annapolis they have sold as low as 30 contsa bushel. The beat quality is caught in shallow water. In deep water they are larger but not #0 palatable. The culling feature of the law, added to the act of 1890, requiring oysters to’ measure two and a half inches from hinge to mouth, iscon- sidered the most important addition the oyster law has received for many years. The advantage of such a law is already apparent by the young growth which has been found since the 3 ing of the season Inst Tuesday. small oysters are left undisturbed from oyster rocks, ruined by rough usage and « disregard for the oyster law, will be the future, oyster tongers generaily are in favor of @ strict enforcement of the eu law, and some have promised to unite the’ fishery foree to carry out its provisions to the letter. Gen. Seth says he ix deter- mined to have the law strictly enforced. Not even a shell or a single under-sized oyster will be permitted, it is raid, in « boshel when measured. ‘The penalty for a violation of the culling laws imposes a fine of from 250 to €300 4g a sentence in jail from one month to year, cr both fine and imprisonment or a f re of the craft.
