It then goes on to say that supplies required to be furnish- ed by the subsistence department have been procured as near the places of consumption as practicable, quality, prices and cost cf transportation being considered.

There were also reported 3,743 con- tracts of various kinds for fresh meats, fresh v2getables, complete rations, and other subsistence supplies required for the army. Destitute citizens have been supplied with subsistence at several posts during the year, upon orders of. the commanding officers. These issues have amounted to 1,063 incomplete rations. For liquid coffee there was expended $,- 374.54, being a decrease of $363.13 from the expenditure of previous year for same pur- pose; for extra duty service, $22,081.05, an increase of $694.45; for advertising, $9,575.54, an increase of $1,010,%; for cooked rations, $94,101.72, an increase of $15,980.27; for con- struction of new and the repair of old ovens at various posts, $6,637.29, a decrease cf $229.95.

The English Billiard Champion Gives De Oro Two Bad Defeats. Before returning to England Champion Roberts gave the public a good opportuaity to judge of English billiards at the benefit performance played yesterday afternoon and evening at the Madison Square Gar- den, New York. At 3 o'clock he played a game of 500 up with De Oro, the American Pool champion, the spot stroke at which the Englishman excels being allowed. The Cuban was sadly at a loss at what was a new game to him, while Roberts kept the balls flying continuously and beat him by seven points in spite of the 300 he con- ceded. In his third inning the Briton gave some idea of what he can do with the red ball and the two upper end pockets by reeling off 264 points. In -his last inning his opponent ran 68 and seemed to be getting the drift of the situation. The score of the first game was as follows: average, 311-2. De Oro, 193; average, 12. At 4 o'clock the two experts played a second game of 500 up on the English table, the spot stroke barred. He gave De Oro 300 points again and beat him by 73. The American showed to very poor advantage | among his strange surroundings. Roverts went out with a rousing break of 115, not finished. The score of the second game was: Roberts, 502; average, 291-2. De Oro, 127; average, 7 1-2. —-————+e-____ Charley Fair Not Arrested. Chas.

Rumors of His Intended Arrest Are ‘Without Foundatien. CHICAGO, Oct. 24.—A special to the Tri- bune from Fostoria, Ohio, says: Chas. Fos- ter arrived home Saturday night. The ru- mors of his arrest are without foundation. Creditors have secured attorneys, and have commenced action against him, but not of a criminal nature. TIFFIN, Ohio, Oct. 24.—Sult was begun here yesterday by Mrs. Anna Ball of Fos- toria, one of the creditors of ex-Gov. Fos- ter, to enjoin the transfer of certain prop- erty, real and personal. Seventeen defend- ants are named, the principal ones being ex- Secretary Foster, John E. Wilkinson, Chas. Olmstead and Mrs. Laura Foster, mother of the ex-Secretary, all of whom were par- ties in the banking firm of Foster & Co. It is alleged in the petition that the firm was known to be insolvent two years ago; that in October, 1883, Chas. Foster deeded his homestead and other real property to his mother, who in turn deeded it to his wife, but the deeds were not recorded until the day of the assignment, May 26, 1893; that March 21, 1893, Chas. Foster and wife deeded $110,000 worth of property to Wm. L. Harkness, a creditor, but the deeds were not recorded until after the assignment. It is further alleged that Chas. Olmstead and John Wilkinson transferred certain real and personal property on the day of the assignment. The temporary injunctions were granted restraining all of the defend- ants from transferring or disposing of any of the property in question, and the record- ers of the three counties in which it is lo- cated were restrained from recording any document making such transfer. The com- mittee appointed by the creditors some time since are back of the suit. —_—___ GERMAN GAMBLING SCANDAL. Opening of the Trial of Two Bankers for Fraudulent Practices. BERLIN, Oct. 24.—The trial opened in Hanover yesterday of Max Rosenberg and Julius Suessman, bankers, who are charg- ed with complicity in the gambling and lot- tery ticket scandal that has caused much discussion in German society. The modus operandi of the gang, which Included per- sons moving in the most select circles of Germany, was to advance money to the victims whom they had previously fleeced at cards, compelling the borrowers to ac- cept three-quarters of the loans in Bruns- wick, Hamburg and Saxony state lottery tickets. The conditions of the loans were such as to prevent the borrowers from re- ceiving more than 2,000 marks out of the highest possible prize that might be drawn, the lenders taking the remainder. Max Rosenberg admits that he disposed of 3,104 of these lottery tickets, and that he made a personal profit of 200,000 marks out of the transaction. Rosenberg also says that Albert Hessemann, who Is also under ae: Profited to the extent of 330,000 mar! Julius Suessman denies that he had any- thing to do with the scandal. It is said that a certain relative of the emperor had at least a guilty knowledge of the doings of the gang, and it is alleged that in a recent interview with his majesty he made a full confession. Besides the Rosenbergs, Suessmans and Albert Hessemann, there are accused of complicity in the frauds several others well known in social circles. Two of the per- sons accused fied the country to escape arrest. More than 100 army officers, rank- ing from Heutenant to major general, have been summoned to give evidence. Great interest is everywhere manifested in the case. —_—>_—_ CHIEF RAMSAY INDICTED. CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Oct. 24.—D. G.

These draughts of poison had the effect of putting some of them in a fighting mood, and the result was that those who carried chips on their shoulders had them knocked off, and today’s session of the Police Court was prolonged by the hearing of the cases growing out of the disorderly crowd. There were several fights along the line of march. Stones were thrown, razors, knives and clubs were used, and it looked several times as though the procession would have to disband, but the parade continued, and the police ar- pany “e Sean ed 18th and L at gees os Precinet Detective Barnes of the second precinct made an attempt to prevent the use of razors. Five negroes in the fight, one of them, James Smith, receiving ager aed ron the head. Isaiah ~ Gordo! were his assailants. the cutting and the other two held him. Smith was sent off to the hospital for treat- ment and the bands of music continued with the Knights of Jerusalem. Norman Brockenborough was not satisfied with be- ing in one fignt and so when New Jersey avenue and Warren street was reached he started a fight with James Howard. The latter proved a match for him and gave him a dose of the medicine he had helped give Smith only a short while be- fore. Howard's razor had ripped Brocken- borough’s back open and it was neces- sary to have a put several physician stitches in the wound. Then an officer came near being cut and it became neces- sary for him to use viclence for self pro- tection. The five negroes who had figured as fighters were locked up.

The court heard the proof and concluded oe defendants were guilty. He Was Formerly a Washingtonian, but Went West. William N. Masi, postmaster at Chey- enne, Wyo., has been arrested by post of- fice inspectors on the charge of having rifled registered mail. Masi’s compensation was $2,400 per year, and his commission would have expired in December. The de- partment has recognized for some time that the office was not run in a satisfactory way, and on the 26th of September the nomination of George A. Draper to be post- master at Cheyenne was sent to the Sen- ate. No action has yet ben taken on the nomination. It is assumed that the in- spectors have closed on Masi's ‘sureties, and have put a substitute in the delin- quent’s place till his successor shall be confirmed. Masi is a Washingtonian and a son of the late Seraphin Masi. His mother, years ago, kept a boarding house where the Inter-Ocean building stands now on 9th street. He went west in the early seventies, got into litics and became guite prominent in Wyoming. He was a Harrison appointee. CONSULAR CERTIFICATES Will Not Be Received as Conclusive im Chinese Cases. In reply to a complaint of the Chinese min- ister in Washington, Mr. Yang Yu, the State Department has made representations which indicate that the United States will not ac- cept consular certificates as conclusive evi- dence that the Chinese subjects presenting them are merchants or artists and therefore entitled to admission to this country. Re- cently,in New York, at the instance of Chi- nese Inspector Scharf, two Chinese, who presented certificates from the consul at Havana that they were actors and not amenable to the restriction imposed on laborers under the law, were refused a Jand- ing. Inspector Scharf insisted that the men were laborers and their certificates fraudu- oe ee eee ur ere 8 writs of habeas corpus, and further ‘made complaint to the minister, who brought the matter to the attention of the State Depart- ment. Secretary Gresham yesterday called on Secretary Carlisle for information and re- ceived a copy of Inspector Scharf’s report, with an intimation that the inspector, in the opinion of the treasury authorities, was acting in the line of his duty and seemed not to have exceeded his authority in the premises. Sect ham accordingly has transmitted this information to the Chinese minister. The Treasury Depart- ment’s stand on the question is still further emphasized by Attorney General Olney, who has directed the United States district at- torney at New York to prosecute the cases on which the Chinese minister's protest was based. Mr. Olney gave this direction at request of Secretary Carlisle. = += Trial Trip the Machias. The Machias left New York this morning on her forty-eight-hour trial run to sea prior to her acceptance by the United States government. The Machias is the vessel that was said to have run aground on the Chatham shoals last Friday night, but as nothing of the sort has been report- ed to the department it is presumed that there was some mistake as to her identity. ‘The Machias, which was designed for service in Chinese waters, is a light- draught, twin-screw gunboat of 1,060 ton: and 1,600 horse power. She is schooner rig- ged, with a yard on her foremast. her speed trial she made 151-2 knots. Her bat- tery consists of eight four-inch rapid-fire guns, four six-pounders and two one-pound- ers. She is also fitted with a torpedo tube in her bow. —_—_—_—_-e-____. District Patents. Patents were issued today to the follow- ing Washington inventors: Wm. Kemp, jr., type matrix; Charles L.
