Congratulations Showered Upon President and Mrs, Cleveland. Woodley to Be Occupied This Fall— Personal Notes of Interest. t The new baby at the White House has just at present the attention of the femi- nine world to the exclusion of every other topic.

The Government Swindled Out of Thousands of Dollars, A special from Philadelphia says: Under instructions from Secretary Carlisle, a thor- ough investigation has been made by spe- clal agents of the treasury into the sub- stances surrounding the alleged undervalu- ation of Sumatra tobacco which has been brought across the Canadian frontier for shipment to Philadelphia, New York and other centers of the tobacco trade in the United States. As a result, SpecialpAgent Hanlon has submitted a report deall ing es- pecially with that portion of the under- valued leaf sent to this city to the order of J, Meton, an Arch street merchant. Agent Hanlon recommends the dismissal of Dep- uty Collector Frank Johnson and B. B. Buckman of the custom house. Buckman ts the acting appraiser who passed upon all merchandise coming from Cunada at that point. Mr. Hanlon recommends that crimi- nal proceedings be instituted against F. Dillingham, agent at Ogdensburg of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg R. R., who, according to the report, was interested in having the tobacco shipped to Philadel- phia as fillers, knowing It to be the best Sumatra leaf. It is sald that tags on the cases and even the bills of lading have been changed by some one. According to Agent Hanlon’s report it ts believed that fully $2,000,000 of Sumatra leat has passed through the Ogdensburg custom house in the last six months, on which the government has lost duties amounting to many thousands of dollars. When the under- valuation of Meton’s tobacco was discovered @ few months ago, It is asserted that sev- eral local customs officials were active in preventing suits being brought in the United Sates court for the forfeiture of seized tobacco. ‘These officials will be now called upon to explain their action, as Secretary Carlisle has given instructions that. their testimony be taken for transmission to him. The department officials are determined to sift the matter to the bottom and to punish such persons as have assisted in defrauding the governmer “ses. THE “STAR” CUP REMAINS. Results of the Rowing on the River Saturday. After The Star's report of the Potomac river regatta on Saturday closed five races were rowed. Of the seven races five were won by Washington oarsmen, The Even- ing Star cup was carried off by the An:ilos- tan senior four. The third race for junior singles was won by A. J. Ingraham of the Pennsylvania Barge Club in 12.02; fourth race, junior fours, between Columbias and Potomacs, was won by the former in 10.08 1-2; fifth race, senior singles, between Edwin ‘Hedley of the Passaic Boat Club of Newark and Wm. Aman of the Fairmouat Club of Philadelphia, was won easily by the former in 10.17. The sixth race, between senior gigs—Neptune of Baltimore, Penn- sylvania Barge Club of Philadelphia and Columbias of Washington—was won by the Raltimoreans in 10.041-4, with the Phitadel- phians second and the Columbias last. In the last race for intermediate eights, be- tween the Potomacs and the Columbias, the jatter won. Mr. Frank Hatton, editor of the Post, presented the prizes in the evening st the ©. A. C. house. He complimented the vars- men on their work and the donors of the prizes on their spirit, He was heartily cheered. There will be a meeting of the regatta committee tonight at the Columbla Ath- letic club house to devise plans for raising the deficiency in the regatta fund, CHOLERA ON THE INCREASE. It is Spreading in the South of France With Great Rapidity. The report of the United States consul at Nantes, France, which reached the marine hospital service this morning, shows that cholera is on the increase there to an alarming extent. For the week ending August 26 there were seventy-three cases and thirty-six deaths, not including those treated at the various hospitals. The pre- vious week showed but a few more than fifty cases and but eighteen deaths. This morning, also, vague reports of chol- era from Rio Janeiro reached the bureau, but so far there has been no confirmation of the rumor. The marine hospital service has a very competent agent at that port, and believes it would be advised of the first outbreak. Rio is quarantined against the yea™round, owing to the constant menace of yellow fever from that port; but the dan- ger from cholera, should it break out there, would cause a change to be made in the standing regulations ing the fever. De. W. F. Brunner, health officer of Sa- vannah, this morning telegraphed that that clty had raised the quarantine against Brunswick, ‘The new quarantine station at Reedy Island, in Delaware bay, was the objective point of a large number of the delegates to the recent Pan-American medical congress late last week. These distinguished medi- cal men went down there from Wilmington on a cutter set apart for their use, and, after @ thorough inspection of the new sta- tion, which is equipped with all the modern appliances,expressed the utmost enthusiasm over what they saw. ——_—_+-e+_____ Pay Inspector Stevenson. The case of Pay Inspector Stevenson is settled at last to the satisfaction of the Powers that be, and it {s announced that the block to promotions in the pay corps has been finally removed. This state of af- fairs is the result of the recent examina- tion of Pay Inspector Stevenson for promo- tion. It is officially stated that the examin- {ag beard has reported that he is morally isqualified for promotion. Gossips have it that Commodore Wulker, president of the board, is the only member of it who cast his vote in favor of Stevenson. This is the fourth time Stevenson has been examined for promotion, but it is the first timé that the verdict was against him. As the Pres!- dent has disapproved every report in his favor, it 1s only a natural assurhption that he will approve the present adverse re- port. The only question in doubt is as to whether Stevenson will be retired on half Pay or be dropped from the service alto- gether, + .+_____ A Hereditary Right. Mr. John J. Barclay of Alabama, who has been nominated as United States consul at Tangiers, is the great grandson of Mr. Bar- clay, who as consul at Tangiers in 1786 as- sisted Commodore Decatur in negotiating the famous treaty between the United Statse and the Barbary States. He gecepts the ap- pointment as a sort of hereditary right. + 2+ ___ Extension of Life-Saving Service. Mr. Dixon of Rhode Island has intro- duced into the Senate a very short bill that will go a very long way in remedying the disastrous results that have followed the short-sighted policy of economy pursued in Tegard to the life saving service. This bill amends the laws governing the life saving Stations by providing that hereafter the Stations on the sea and gulf at which crews are employed shall be manned and the sta- tions opened for active service on the first day of August and so continued until the first day of June succeeding, and upon the lake coast from the close of navigation, ex- cept such stations as in the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury are not nec- essary to be manned during the full period specified; and the crews shall reside at the stations ‘during such periods. Under this bul the term of service of the life saving crews will be lengthened one month each at the beginning and end of the season. ‘Widow. A bill has been introduced in the Senate by Mr. Palmer of Illinois that recalls the’ services of a distinguished soldier of the late war, who, after the war was ended, continued his duties in the service of the government in another but more peaceful branch of army work. It was a bill to pen- sion Mrs. Josephine F. Kelton, widow of the late Brigadier General Kelton, who was adjutant general of the United States army. The pension provided {s $100 a month. Gen. Kelton served with distinction on the field in the active service, being eminently fitted for his duties by a course at West Point. After the war, during which be won his atar, he was detailed for duty in Washing- ton ‘and in due time became the adjutant general of the army, which post he filled for a number of years. The bill was ac- companied by letters from Assistant Adju- tant General Theo. Schwan and Adjutant General Willams, who indorse the proposed action and pay a glowing tribute to the worth and character of the man whose widow is now in need. Gen. Kelton, it will be remembered, died so poor that by his special request he was accorded only such funeral as is given to the inmates of the Soldiers’ Home, of which he died governor. + 2 - —____ In Home Waters. ‘There are now but three war ships in home waters of the American fleet of thir- teen that took part in the spring naval review and the number will be reduced to two as soon as the Newark, now at Nor- folk, takes her departure for the Brazilian station. All the others have been sent to foreign stations, the Philadelphia, Charles- ton and Yorktown to the Pacific: the Chi- cago and Bennington to the European, and the Baltimore and Concord to the Asiatic. ‘The two vessels remaining on the home station are the San Francisco and the Vesuvius. ——__+e+_____ ‘The Caravel Santa Maria. Assistant Secretary McAdoo will visit Chi- cago in a few days as the representative of the President to receive in person the gitt of the caravel Santa Maria from the representatives of the Spanish government. It was expected that Secretary Herbert would represent the United States at this function, but he finds that it will be im- Possible for him to leave the capital at that time. When the transfer shall have been accomplished the caravel will be manned by officers and men from the U. 8. S, Michigan, now at Chicago, and her present officers and crew will return to Spain. —+o+—____ Canadian Immigration Law.

Young of the National B. B. League. President N. E. Young of the National League of Base Ball Clubs is fifty-three years old today. “Uncle Nick,” as he is affectionately called in base ball circles, is the highest authority on base ball in the country, and, of course, there is no base ball authority in any other country. Mr. Young lives in a pleasant cottage on How- ard street, Mt. Pleasant, surrounded by several acres of land. His home is well known to base ball writers, who are al- ways welcomed and kept informed of the doings of the league, for Mr. Young Is af- fable and secretive only on those matters whére secrecy is demanded. In stature the president of the league is of slender build and possesses the strictest integrity of character and frowns upon wrong-dolfig by whomsoever committed. In connection with his lofty position in basebalidom he occupies @ responsible place in the Treas- ury Department. He is a native of Am- sterdam, N.Y, When a very young boy he began his study of games, which included cricket, and which in those days was the popular game. Even then his rulings as umpire decided many a boyish wrangle that no doubt would have ended in a battered nose or blackened eye if Nick Young bad not quietly and decidedly pointed out the prop- er adjustment of the difficulty. He has a strong attachment for his boy- hood’s friends and his memory of some youthful escapades never fails him when meeting his old friends. He never tires of referring to the nutting trips to some of the farmers’ hickory trees or fishing pur- tles to the reservoir, or in the trout streams back of old Fort Johnson when he ought to have been in the old stone school house cramming his brains with spelling and grammar. Many of “the boys” le in Green Hill cemetery now and one of them is dust upon the hills of Nevada, while others live and fill useful positions im the world of workers. But the war that took him away from home called many who fell fighting for the same flag he fought for, and his heart is full of tender memories for those who were boys at home with him. As the war progressed Mr. Young took up arms for the Union. He then made Washington his home and took a lively Interest in base ball, and, together with A. G. Mills and Charles E. Coon of the treasury, formed the Olympic Club of Washington, which for years was the lead- ing team of the south. He played in the field for the team and was frequently seen on first base. While he «vas playing with the Olympics @ national association was formed, includ- ing Forest City of Rockford, Iil.; White Stockings of Chicago, Forest City of Cleve- jand, Haymakers of Troy, Mutuals, Unions, Atlantics and Eckfords of New York, Athletics and Keystone of Philadel- phia, Red Stockings of Cincinnati, his own club’ and last, but not least, the old Mary- land Club of ‘Baltimore. The association made him secretary and he was instrumental in keeping up the in- terest and forming the old league and the present one. With the old league he was actively iden- tified since its organization in February, 1876. He was made president upon the re- tirement of A. G.
