CAPTURE OF A TRAIN ROBBER RYDE, Sept. 6.—The first one of the races for the international gold cup, given by the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, was sailed today. ‘The course was from Warner lightship to Owers lightship; thence to a flagboat off Dunnose, to the eastward off two buoys on Princess shoal, then rcund the Nab, finish- ing off Warner lightship; total length, fifty miles. |_ The contestants are the Prince of Wales’ | Britannia and Royal Phelps Carroll's Nava- hoe. | The start was made at 11 o’clock in a very light breeze from the southeast. As the yachts crossed the line the Navahoe was to windward. The Britarnia dtew out slowly under her Jee and took the lead. When they went out of sight toward Owers light- ship the yachts were very close together. Several steamers loaded with excursion- ists put out from this port early in the | morning for the course. The town was "| full of visitors and thousands were out | along that part of the coast from which views of the race could be obtained. Of Dunnose the Britannia led by 14 min- utes ten seconds.

LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 6—Express train No. 1 on the ‘Frisco, westbound, was flag- ged with a red light last night about forty miles west of St. Louis. The train stopped and two meft held the engine crew at bay while a third went to the express car and demanded admittance. The messenger re- fused to open the door. ‘The command then came from one of the engine guards to “blow her open. This demand was almost instantly fol- lowed by a deafening report, and the wood- work of the car was wrecked. Then the three highwaymen joined forces and tried to enter the car, but were impeded by the wreckage. The conductor and a brakeman rushed up to the robbers with pistolz drawn, and commanded them to surrender. ‘The robbers answered with a poorly direct- ed fusillade, which the two brave trainmen gaye back with inter: Such unexpected resistance unnerved the robbers and two of them took to their heels. ‘The third was overpowered and made pris- oner.

The blaze was in the heart of a densely popula- ted tenement district. Two of the human beehives were among the buildings partly destroyed. No one lived in the seven-story building in which the fire started, but it contained about twenty-live “sweat” shops on the upper floor, and as many as 1,500 people were employed in it in the busy season.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6—Tode opened fractionally lower than last night's closing and continued to sell off during the first half hour. London was also under our closing and did little on this side.

SILVER IN THE SENATE. No Change in the Situation Oan Be Ascertained. The Silver Victory of Yesterday Un- important—Repeal Men Not Likely to Wait Twenty Days. The little victory gained by the silver men in getting an adjournment yesterday, and some of their maneuvers today, to- gether with the abandonment by Mr. Voor- hees of the proposition to have the Sefate meet at 11 o'clock, has excited some little talk of a recuperation on the part of the silver forces in the Senate, but there is,how- ever, very little importance attached to these things by those who are familiar with the situation. The best informed men in the Senate, some on both sides of the question,say that there has been no change in the situation, and no indication of any gain in strength on the part of the silver men, They regard the passage of the re- peal bill as certain, but it may be some- what slow. No importance whatever ts attachel to the adjournment last night, and the action of Mr. Voorhees in abantoning the 1 o’clock meeting is regarded as no indica- tion of weakness. There ie a demand among the Senators who will vote for re- peal or who not being willing to vote for repeal will not join in any ‘llibuster, that no attempt be made to curtail the dvbate | so long as it is in good falth ani proper. These gentlemen think that an attempt 8o early as this to put on the screws would furnish a just cause of complaint to the silver men and would really cause more trouble and delay than would a more con- servative course. Mr. Morgan in his speech today suggested casually that 20 days of discussion would not be unreasoanble, The chances are that the repeal men Will not be willing to wait as long as that before resorting to more rigorous means of forcing a vote, but for the time being they will let the matter run on, believing that this will facilitate the passage of the bill. The Morgan proposition tor a joint com: mission of the House and Senate to cun- sider the financial question after this bill has been disposed of is generally quite favorably received. —____-« —______ AT THE WHITE HOUSE. | More Callers Received by the Presi- dent Today.

Dr. Liceago, presi- dent of the national board of health of Mexico, followed with an interesting and highly instructive address on “The General Bases Which Should Govern the Continent of America in Formulating a General and Efficacious International Maritime Policy.” The meeting was concluded by a paper on “The Climate of Exypt,” by Dr. Grant Bey of Cairo, Egypt.

For the past twenty-elght years he has ‘been engaged in hygienic work along the Nile, in the employment of the Egyptian govern- ment. A Woman Physician Talks. The importance attached to the section ‘on obstetrics by the medical fraternity was again demonstrated by the interest taken in the meeting this morning in parlor F, at the Ebbitt House, where about fifty physt- clans, half of whom were women, were present. Dr. Eliza H. Root of Chicago read a paper on “The Status of Obstetrics In Gen- eral Practice.” She spoke of the respons!- bility in this branch of medicine assumed by ‘those, apparently, without sufficient clinical training and experience; of the test of the physician's skill by the carelessness and ignorance of the patients; and of the importance to a physiclan’s medical repu- tation which the study and practice of this branch naturally involves. Dr. J. H. Chestnut of Philadelphia fol- lowed with a paper on “The Induction for Premature Labor,"after which the meeting adjourned. Studying Malarial Diseases. Immediately after the regular meeting in Albaugh’s Opera House this morning the section of general medicine net and a dis- cussion of the paper read yesterday by Dr. Francisco A. Risquez was indulzed in rela- tive to the presence of pigment in the blood of malarial patients. Dr. West, represent- ing the University of Texas at Galveston, made a short address emphasizg the | portance of differential diagnexis In rel tion to malarial, typhoid and yellow fevers. He was of the opinion that pigment is due to the destruction of blood corpuscles. Dr. Risquez, through an interpreter, replied that after careful investigation he had found () presence of pigm2at a constant quantity; @) yellow fever contains cnl; trace of pigment, which he cerms yellow malaria fever, and (3) In corroboration of his theory diluted sulphuric acid wiil di sipate the substance if it is not pigment. Following this discussion a paper on “Un- usual Outbreaks of Typhoid Fever.” by Dr. W. C. Dobney, was also made the subject of a general expression of various opiniors. Methods of Teaching. The section of pedagogy, in the building of the medical department of the Univers- ity of Georgetown, H between 9th and 10th streets, was crowded this morning, when at U1 o'clock Dr. Gustave Zinke of Cincinnatt, Ohio, gave “A demonstration of the Caesar- ean section and the Porro operations. Dr. Zinke fllustrated his lecture by the aid of mentkins, and was warmly congratu- lated upon the very able manner in which he conducted the demonstration, it being explained that his object was to instruct both teachers and students. At 3 this after- noon the following papers will be read: "A contribution to a study of methods of medical education In the United States,” by Bayard Holmes, M. D., the College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons, Chicago, Tinois, “Methods of teaching’ clinical medicine,” by F. C. Shattuck, M. D., professor of clinical medicine in the Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass. Diseases of the Ear. The section on otology had an interest- ing session today at the Arlington. Prof. Polltzer of Vienna read an address upon “Rare Affections of the Intra-Labyrinthi- nac Capsule as a Cause of Deafness,” with a demonstration by means of specimens. Dr. Max Thorner of Cincinnatt read a paper on “Diseases and Disfigurations Following the Lobules of the Ear.” He related a number of cases, where unsightly disfigurations and dangerous tumors of the auricle followed the placing of ear- rings. He said that piercing the ears was a relic of barbarism and ought to be aban- doned. Dr. Felix Cohn of New York read a paper on Stacke's Method for Chronic Suppurative Otitis. LISTENING TO PAPERS. Doctors Meet in Groups and Discuss Yesterday afternoon the members of the Pan-American Medical Congress listened to papers and discussed professional subjects. This was done at the meetings of the sec- tions, each section being devoted to some one branch of medical science. To accom- modate these sections nearly every avail- able hall in the central part of the city wa: utilized. Dr, John 8. Hamilton. About fifty physicians attended the meet- ing of the sections on anatomy and orthopaedic surgery held in the lecture room of the Columbian University. The opening address was delivered by Dr. John B.

In addition to this exercise they unrolled, set up and staked a new tent, which had never before been unrolled, in a small frac- tion over four minutes. ‘This morning’s session of the section was devoted to papers, Gynecology and Abdominal Sargery. There was an interesting discussion in the section on gynecology and abdominal surgery of which Dr.Wm.Warren Potter of Buffalo is president, on the use of electricity in the treatment of certain diseases. Dr. Massey advocated electricity, but a num- ber of his colleagues disagreed with him. ‘The discussion arose over a paper read by Dr. Andrew F. Currier of York on “The Intra Uterine Tampon “Drs.

Captain Derby Discusses the Subject of Street Oar Fenders. Mis Investigation of Different Plans— Other Items From the City’s Head- avarters—Sewer Appropriation. During the day a number of prominent business men and citizens called at the Dis- trict building to inquire about the condi- tion of Commissioner Ross. At a late hour this afternoon he was reported as doing nicely. The accident was the chief topic of conversation among the clerks this morn- | ing, and they all sympathize with their chief and friend. The injury to Commissioner Ross has brought out the query: What are the Com- missioners doing about getting up a new fender for the street cars. Capt. Fiebeger, who has charge of the matter, was seen by | @ reporter of The Star this afternoon, and asked what was being done in that direc- jon. The captain said: “Letters were first writ- ten to the principal cities in the country to learn if there was such a thing as a satii factory fender upon any street railroad line in the country, The answer showed that practically everywhere in the country they Were using fenders consisting simply of vertical boards placed just in front of the Wheels, either at right angles to the wheels, oblique or chevron shaped. A type of these fenders is that used by the Washington and Georgetown Railrozd Company. “In Boston the West End Company had partially equipped its cars with a comb!na- tion fender, a platform projecting in front of the cars, known as the Johnson piat- form, and a fender under the body of the cars in front of the wheels similar to those Sescribed, but which could be forced in close contact with the rail at the will of the motorman. Some of these Johnson platforms were afterward seen by me in Cleveland, Ohio, where they have becn adopted upon two of the street car lines. They might save life, but they would not Save @ person struck by the cars from se- rious injury, and therefore are not a satis- factory solution of the problem. “Quite a number of models and drawiags of other fenders have been submitted to None of them very satisfactory, sisted that a working model would recommend any of them. ‘A thoroughly good fender should ‘not only protect the life of the person struck by the cars, but it should, in addition, pro- tect him from serious injury. This would reject all fenders such as are now used in the city, and are only useful in preventing a body from getting under the wheels. If you will run over the list of accidents tn | this city on the Washington and George- town line, you will find few cases where | the fenders have failed to move the body off the track, but very many where the person was knocked down and seriously in- jured by the car. “A fender which I recently examined might be described as a cow-catcher of chain work, chain mattress, which protects him from | injury. This fender is being tested.” For Failing to Report. The Commissioners today ordered that any person or persons in the District of Columbia having the care, custody or con- trol of any animal affected by glanders or other contagious or pestilential disease, who shall fail, within twenty-four hours after the fact comes to his, her, or their knowleége, to report the same to the health officer of ‘the District of Columbia, shall upon conviction be fined not less than % hor more than $25 for every such offense, to | be recovered as other fines and penalties are recovered. —_—_ HOUSE RULES.

The rooms were handsomely set with tall paims, and the Marine Band, under the di- rection of Prof. Fanciulli, was stationed in the middle parlor, where it discoursed a spirited program of international airs and of music more familiar, but equally tuneful.

There were probably about 1500 cues! present; more gentlemen than ladies, as the great majority of the delegates are not accompanied here by the ladies of their families.
