Firet Annual Meet of the Vietor Cyele Cleab. The first annual meet of the Victor Cycle Club was held yesterday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. park. The weather was fine and the track in good condition, and there was a large attendance to witness the ten events of the day. This being the first race meet of the organization the club made one mistake in their entry blanks and program in failing to announce the championship of the District as an L. A. W. event, .and for that reason there was trouble when the race was announced. Several of the riders who had entered were not members of the L. A. W., and they were disqualifics. A protest was entered by C. E. Gause of the W. R. C., who was represented by Mr. Bennett, and a copy of the protest was sent to Chairman Raymond of the racing beard. On account of the large number of entries in the various events the trial heats were run in the morning, and the spectators had the pleasure of witnessing only the finals. Fortunately there were no accidents of any consequence, only one rider having fallen from his wheel. In this affatr, however, there was not a collision, and the rider escaped with a bruised arm. Mr. E. B. Hay, who acted as announcer, Was the central figure in the field, and his Presence went far to make the affair such a Pleasant one. The other officials were: Starter, Prof. Crossley; referee, George 8. Atwater; judges, L. B. Graves and C. R. Overman; timers, Prof. Sims, W. E. Pierce and J. Hart Brittain; clerks of course, H. H. Miller, F. C. Handy, H. H. Olcott and Thomas Gardne-; marshals, I. M. Cornwall, G. P. Hooker, S. B. Davis and C. E. Miller, and scorer, H. H. Brown, jr. Mr. Dantel Canary, the fancy trick rider, who has appeared before the crowned-heads of several countries, and who has won so many was present and entertained the spectators with a few of his new tricks, receiving the applause of the entire crowd. Most of the events were well contested, but in most of them the winner crossed the tape far ahead of the second man. This Was not the case in the District L. A. W championship. When several who had en- tered were disqualified there were only four men left in the race, and they approached the tape in a bunch. W. T. Robertson of the A.

The deceased came to Washington seven years ago from New Lisbon, Ohio, and was soon followed by his wife and four daughters, who survive him. He came to Pentaylva: nia when a young man from Belfast, his birthplace, and was in the fifty-eighth year of his age. The funeral services will be held at the residence at 2 o'clock on Sun- day afternoon. ee Bynamite Used by Strikers. The house of a miner named Harrison, who lives at St. Helens, Lanczshire, Eng- land, was wrecked yesterday morning by an exolosion of a cartridge. The family narrowly escaped. The windows of a num-" ber of houses were shattered. Harrison 1s an employe in the Ashton & Green colliery at St Helens. He has incurred the enmity of the strikers by refusing to join them. IN THE GALLERY. ALL SORTS OF MEN AND WOMEN, A Novel Scene During Yesterday's Executive Session. CROWDS OF SPECTATORS. cn The galleries form an interesting feature of the Senate during this protracted debate on repeal or no repeal. During all this time the galleries have been crowded with spectators fot as many hours of the twenty-four that the Senate has been in session. Except for an aceasion- al outburst of applause or laughter, which, of course, ts a grave offense against the hard-shelled dignity of the Senate, there has been no disturbance in the galleries until the‘impatient Pennsylvania man announced his disgust and flounced out while Butler was talking on Thursday. This is somewhat remarkable when it is realized that hardly in the term of the pres- ent generation of statesmen has there be- fore been half the interest and excitement among the spectators of the proceedings of the Senate that is now apparent. It appears to be something more than idle curiosity that draws most of the people there. As early as the Senate may meét and as late as they may sit, even all night and all the next day as they have done, the spectators are there, and there fs seldom a vacant seat except in the diplomatic gallery. Much of the time all the standing room around the walis back of the seats is occupied. Besides the audience in the galleries there have been times each day when the floor of the Senate has been pretty well crowded with members of the House, who manage to get wind of it when there is any espec- ially interesting feature of the proceedings. Thousands of Listeners. Several thousand people listen every day to the debate and watch the struggle. Prob- ably one-third of the spectators are women, the women’s galleries being always crowd- ed, and during the period of the night ses- sions there was a very considerable sprink- ling of women in there until after 1 o'clock. Each morning before the “circus” begins the most profound and heated discusstons take place in the heavily-loaded street cars tending their way toward the Capitol; in the corridors of the building and around the doors to the galleries where the men and women are assembled early to get first chance at the seats. The women, not less than the men, are excited in their discus- sions and frequently they are almost as personal as are the distinguished Senators on. the floor. For an hour before the session opens the pular tide seems to be all one way. It is ike the opening of a fait or some celebra- tion. The ears going toward the Capitol from all directions are loaded, and nine- tenths of the people on the street are walk- ing that way. Through the corridors of the great marble building is heard the shuffie of hundreds of feet on the hard floors. Throughout the day there is a constant com- ing and going without there appearing a change tn the number in the galleries. day long there is a receding wall of faces on the four sides of the chamber gazing eagerly down into the arena, like a picture from ancient Rome. There is a constant disputation carried on in an undertone as to the rélative merits of the ¢hampions, and proval or disapproval occasionally breaks out into applause or grumbling. Smith is trying to explain the situation to his neigh- bor Jones, who thinks he knows more about it himself, and bets are made on various moves in the proceedings and on the final result. Of course, money is not held in the air as at a race track, but it quietly changes hands right in the galleries. All Sorts and Conditions. ‘The character of the male portion of the audience is unusual. Those who take only a curious interest in the thing are a very insignificent number, and almost as insig- nificant is the number of those who are residents of the city. They are mostly strangers attracted by this contest, and they are of two as markedly distinct class- es as are to be found in contact. Hundreds of them belong to the upper class of busi- ness men whose interest in the outcome is so great that they are drawn here to watch the fight and are held by that fatal fasci- nation of interest which has proved disas- trous to so many claimants who have once put their faith in Congress and have been chained to the chariot wheels of the con- queror Demagogue. They are men who have seldom before sat in the galleries of Congress, and now it palls on their business sense. The subtleties of legislative methods they do not understand, and their patience is sorely tried, but their very impatience and anger holds them here to watch the fame out. Sitting shoulder to shoulder and nee to knee with them are men of anoth- er class, in contrast to the well-dressed, white-skinned and. soft-handed banker and merchant. They are, perhaps, not as numerous as the others, but they are equal ly strangers to legislative halls and are quite as apt to attract the eye. They are a plainly and often shabbily dressed lot. Some have bronzed faces and rough hands, with heavy lines in their cheeks and across their brows, like men who work in the factory or at the forge by day, and often at night as- semble together to talk over their condition and grope about through the mysteries of political economy. Along in the class with them are men with whiskers and sunburnt hair, homespun clothes and heavy boots, who put their hands up to their ears for trumpets when Peffer or Kyle or Irby talks. Further down the scale come the paie-faced, thin-lipped, wild-eyed men, who listen eagerly to ali that is sald and run their fingers nervously through their Jong hair when the bankers of Wall street are mentioned or when the oft-repeated phrase about the masses and the classes occurs. Hour after hour this strangely assorted audience sit and watch the fight, and the rise and fall of the tide of excitement can be seen passing back and forth over the eager faces. Interest, approval, anger and impatience alternately lights and darkens the countenances, and the undercurrent of antagonism is observed in the dark looks exchanged and the impatient jerk of the shoulder or wag of the head. During the Executive Sensi: During yesterday's executive session there was a scene in the corridors surounding the Senate chamber such as no oné about the place recollects to have witnessed before during an executive session. Usually there is nothing more empty and silent than the corridors of the Senate while the Senators are conferring behind closed doors. Dut during the executive session yesterday, last- ing from 10:20 until 3 o'clock, the corridors were crowded. The galleries had been clear- ed, and every one compelled to leave the up- per floor, but most of the crowd went no further than they were driven, and they ¢lung stubbornly on, standing in the lower corridor, at the foot of the staircases, and about the closed entrances to the Senate, holding animated discussions of the silver question, exchanging views as to the situa- tion, and predicting the consequences to the country to follow from all this. In some groups of long-haired men the discussions were almost as heated as those witnessed about the doors of a‘convention hall. Re- peatedly the question was put to the door- 3 rs why were they, the people, not permittted to know what was going on in the chamber. One wild-eyed man rushed up to a doorkeeper and demanded to know how long that thing was going to be kept up, and in angry tones said the Senate did not know who he was when they shut the doors in his face. ee 4 Demands a Jury Trial. In the police court yesterday Varn How- ard, who was charged with an assault on zier, a fourteen-year-old school sit while he had her out riding last Sun- day evening, demanded @ jury trial and the case will probably be ventilated in court next week. —o Appeal Cases Dismissed.

At a Standstill. ‘The receiver of the Washington and Ar- lington Railroad Company, when asked what had been done toward the revivification of his corporation, said, this morning: “Nothing. I have been paying off its most urgent debts as far as the funds on hand would allow, but have not received any- thing. Things are therefore, at present, at a standstill.” The road cannot be operated because no receiver has ever been pointed for the District end of it, and the Virginia receiver not having jurisdiction in George- town, where is located the operating plant, is almost powerless. Even should one be appointed to take of the corporation’s District interests. it is not probable that the road would be startea up this winter.

ENDED, The Jadicial © mittee of the New York Synod Reports It. ‘The much-looked-for report of the judicial committee on the Briggs case was present- ed Thursday to the New York Presbyterian Synod at Rochester. The report was read by Rev. Dr. Miller. After a case of minor importance had been disposed of the committee struck at the root of the matter by reporting five com- plaints signed by Dr. Briggs and others in reference to occurrences on the two trials of Dr. Briggs by the presbytery of New York. The committee in reporting the complaints says: “The merits of that case have all been heard on appeal in two general assemblies. In the general assembly of 1§92 the whole case was heard at great length and a final judgment was rendered at that time by that assembly covering the whole case. | This, in our opinion, clearly and finally dis- ‘poses of all interlocutory questions tn those cases, no matter when those cases were pending.” Dr. Miller added: “I am glad to be able to add that no minority report will be pre- sented.

The night school which was here some years ago for the benefit of children, who are unable to attend school during the day, will open next Monday night, under the charge of Mr. james P. Curley. The county allows the sum of $100 to pay part of the expenses of the school, the ‘balance being paid by voluntary sub- scriptions. This school is of immense bene- fit to a large number of children who are employed in the mill during the day, or elsewhere, and has been largely attended heretofore. The political pot is beginning to boil and from now until election day public meet- ings will engage the attention of the vot- ers at night and personal discussions dur- ing the day. The campaign this year will be fought mainly upon local issues, a new assessment and new road laws. The need for a new assessment can be readily understood when it is known that no general assessment has been made for more than ten years. Some of the property, yes, the greater portion, is taxed upon the values fixed long before there was any development along the rail- rvads, while the new buildings are assessed at the values put upon them from year to year as they were erected. are several subdivisions near Lau- re] _in which lots have been and are being sold at from $250 to $1,000 per acre, where the land is assessed as farm land at about $10,to $20 per acre.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In a recent issue of The Star apeared an article copied from the New York Herald and headed “A Great Artificial Waterfall,” and claiming that the feat of making a mountain stream run over and above a railroad track—which feat is to be attempt- ed on the Southern Pacific railroad near Wright's station, Cal.—is a novel and unique piece of engineering. Permit me to say that there is nothing novel or unique about it, inasmuch as the same engineering feat was accomplished in Switzerland in 1860, on the Swiss West- ern Railway (Chemin de fer de rOuest Suisse), just above the village of Veytaux, near the northeastern end of Lake Leman, where the “‘Veveyse,” a small but rapid mountain stream, was encountered. The mountains there come quite down to the lake—their slopes being covered with vineyards—and the ground is, of course, expensive. To raise the railroad track suffi- | ciently to pass over the stream would have required a long embankment, and involved much expense. To tunnel under the stream ‘was out of the question, inasmuch as it would have brought the railroad track, which ts very near the lake, below the lat- | ter’s surface, thereby incurring the risk of being submerged in times of high water. The chief engineer, a Frenchman, whose name I cannot now recall, therefore hit on the happy idea to raise the bed of the stream for a short distance and carry it in a bridge, or open aqueduct, over the railroad track, which novel expedient had, the brethren as! to be excused froin vot- and of course request was granted.” Teport was accepted. before, and its a ree sur completion brought much fame @ decor- ation to its clever author.

It Was Committed by an American Employe of the Victim, Partial confirmation is obtained at thé State Department of the news brought &@ Philadelphia by the steamship Dorian that Capt. J. M. Hadligh, formerly of Phile- delphia, had been murdered in Port ax Prince, Hayti, but the oficial report of the matter sent to the department by Dr. Jon B., Ferres, vice consul general of the United States, shows that the murderer, instead of being a Haytien soldier, is a citizen of this country. Dr. Ferres, under date of Octo- ber 5, reports that on the day before Had- ligh, who had resided in Port au Prince for several years, carrying on the business of carriage making, had a quarrel with Char- ‘ey Culp, an American citizen, and obe of Hadligh’s workmen, about 5 cents, which Culp claimed was due him for wages. Had- ligh refused to pay the money and Culp drew a revolver and fired several shots at his employer. Two of the bullets took effect in Hadligh’s forehead and temple, killing him instantly. Culp then fired a shot into his own right arm, evidently with the tn- tention of fupporting a plea of self-defense. He was arrested and remanded to prison for trial. On account of the fact that both parties are American citizens, and also i so far as known, never been attempted | that the murderer was promptly 4ealt with, the State Department will not Interts the matter, unless it appears that there ts a Gisposition not to bring Culp to justice.
