The noutical almanac investigation was resumed at the naval observatory ‘thi forenoon. Prof. Simon weomb returned to the stand and Dr. Jos. Morrison continued his cross-examination. In answer to questions Prof. Neweomb said that he did not call Dr. Morrison to account for having used Prof. Hall's tables in the almanac, but for having lost, or for not having reported the loss of weomb's tables, which were designed use to which those of Hall were put. He finally said that Mor- rison was not the custodian of the papers. Witness said that he had invited but had not employed Dr. Morrison to write certain chap- ters on conic sections in Newcomb's Analytical Geometry and a treatise on land surveying for use in Newcomb's Trigonometry. He donied having made any agreement to pay him for this work. In regard to his absence at Johns Hop- kins witness said that in term time war there two days per week, and in opening and examination times was there three or four days per week. He produced a let- ter from the acting secretary of the navy Walker granting him permission to accept the ‘chair of mathematics at Jobne Hopkins, provided it would not interfere wit duties in connection with the Nautical Alma- nao. : THOUSANDS ON @ GAME. Played for Gigantic Stakes While the Crowd Scareely Breathed, From the Cincinnati Enquirer. ‘They were playing pool (never mind where); two rather well-dressed men, though from the appearance of their hands they earned their daily bread by the sweat of their brows. It was in a large pool room and ali of the tables were in use. Only afew loungers were watching these two at first, for they played rather indifferently. “Lot's make it interesting and play for some stakes,"’ said player number one. “Very well. Mako it 500 a game.” ‘There was no smile to show that there was a joke. They played more carefully. and each won a game, during which a few more loungers were attracted by heating the size of the stakes. Then number two proposed that the stakes be raised to 1,000, and they each won another game. Some of the others stopped playing to watch this large game. “This is getting monotonous,” aya number one, | Let's have just one more game for 6,000 Namber two demurred, but finally agreed. ‘All tho other tables ‘were deserted by this time and the men crowded around the table to ch the game. Five thoumad dollars a big cum, young men,” said an old man, who had been playing bil ‘ds, “and neither of you look able to lose that much, Don't make fools of yourselves. Dou't play for that amount.” But he way told to mind his business and the game was begun, Tt was close. Each got seven balls and the fight came for the last one. Number one had first shot, leaving a set-up for number two and he put the ball in pocket. ‘The spectators. who had been watching the game, slawust holding their breaths, let forth a cheer and looked to see what number one would do or say. “Come: let’s settle up.

They Advance on the Foe, Headed by Women and Children. TROUBLE IN KANSAS. Suicide of a Young Lady Richmond. THE B. & O. PRESIDENT. Wem City, Kax., July 21,—In the conflict Detween strikers and the miners now at work yesterday the strikers were led by 100 ‘women, and in the vanguard were also an equal number of children. They were evidently placed in the front rank in the belief that the guards and the men at work would not fire upon them. The men fol- lowed behind and the whole body. men, women and children, were armed with sticks andelubsand some with firearms. In the front rank four flags were carried, one big United States flag and on either side of = flags. The latter were carried by yn women. When the men at work and the guards fired upon the strikers the chil- dren fied, but the women entered boldly intothe fight and fought with as much fero- ciousness as the men. ‘They wielded their clubs with vigor and precision, and many a sore head last night had ite cause ‘in the clubs in the wo- men's hands, The list of the wounded, so far as can be ascertained, is as follows: A boy named Betonder shot in the foot. Alex. Gava, a striker. shot in the forehead. Joseph Burgendi, a striker, shot in = breast. An unknown woman shot through the arm. Dick Reed, a strip miner, slight fracture of the skull, Simon Berg, a strip miner, shot im the leg.

Batriwone, July 91.—A rumor that has been gossiped about from time to time during the past six months ora year in relation to the presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road company, has again cropped out in financial circles. It is that President Mayer will retire and be succeeded by a younger man. It is said that Edward i Bacon, president of the Baltimore and Obio southwestern system, may be elected at the annual meeting in No- vember to succeed Mr. Mayer. ‘The Baltimore and Ohio Company today de nounced the rumor as midsummer rot and designed, perhaps, to influence stock market | values. President Mayer 1s not in town. He went to New York vester line meeting there and has not yet returned Generally it is not believed that a suc- cessor to Mr. Mayer will be elected until he wishes to retire. —_ AMBITIOUS FRANCE, Colonization Schemes Said ‘o Be the Cause of the Siamese Trouble. Batriwore, July 21.—Gen, Adam E. King, Inte consul general of the United States to France, who returned home last week, speaking of the trouble between France and Siam this morning, said: “There is no doubt that the cause can be found in the desire of. the French to foster colonization schemes. They are reaching out in Dahomey and elsewhere in Africa, and have established themselves in Tonquin, and seem to | Wy, be bent now upon acquisitions abroad. ‘The French are quick und must bave a new sensation every day. One day the sensation is ®rcandal involving some high official. That dies out and is forgotten. ‘Then, perbaps, oc curs a great mysterious crime, und that is the sensation of the hour.

The Closing Prices Special Dispatch to the Evening Star. New Yoax, July 21.—Téday's market opened irregular and feverish. News of every description was lacking and prices were left in the hands of professional operators. London did nothing in our market and prices of American stocks in that market corresponded to the irregularities on this side. Operators who play for large stakes and whose dealings are usually ef sufficient magnitude to decide the character of the market are now quietly watching the course of prices in tho interest of an early campaign against values. Sterling was sufficiently low this morning to enable foreign agents to secure about $300,000 for shipment to this side, 12:30 cables ‘from London reported considerable demand for the — yellow metal snd sterling rates advanced slightly in consequence.
