A train of empty passenger cars being drawn over the tracks from the Baltimore and Potomac depot in the direction of the Long bridge yesterday came near striking a cable train on the 7th street line. The gates of the railroad company were low- ered just as the cable train was crossing and one of the gates struck the top of the car. It took the gripman but an instant to stop the cable train and then the passen- gers realized the danger they were in. The train of ¢ars was moving in the direction of the’street at a rapid rate of speed and the sight of the train causeé many of the cable train passengers to jump from the car. Fortunately the engineer in charge of the engine saw the danger and reversed his engine, bringing the train to a stop only a few inches from the cable train. Passengers on the caole train blamed the! gateman for the trouble and were loud in their denunciation of his actions. Sere THE COURTS. Equity Court, No. 1, Judge Cox. Brown agt.

The warrants recently issued against Policemen Coghill and Gibson, charging them with assaulting J. Wallace Barnes, the liquor drummer, as printed in The Star several days ago, were nolle prossed in the Police Court today. The officers’ side of the case is entirely different from the state- ment of the prosecuting witness. As printed at the time the warrants were sued, Barnes charged that Coghill had il- legally arrested him, and that this con- stituted an assault. ‘The only charge put against Barnes at the time was Intoxica- tion, and he, therefore, was not taken into the Police Court. The officers say that Officer Coghill did not even arrest Barnes, but that he was arrested by an officer who went in the pa- trol wagon in response to a call from a citizen. “So far as the case of Officer Gib- son Is concerned, that officer says he used no violence whatever toward Barnes, but merely went with him from the office in the station to the cel! room. Barnes also complained that he w: bitten by a dog in | the station, and the officers say that the dog he complains of is a puppy not more than six inches long. —>—_. Called to the Ministry.

THE KAISER'S NEAT BIT OF COURTESY European Cities Swept by a Hot p Wave. GENERAL FOREIGN AFFAIRS 2 PARIS, July 2.—Al the newspapers of this city eulogize the courtesy and chivalry of Emperor William of Germany in ordering the release from prison of Lieuts. Dagony and Malevas, two French officers, who were convicted of spying upon the fortitications of Kiel. ‘The socialist organs urge the French gov- ernment to imitate the clemency of the German emperor and grant amnesty to French political prisoners. It is too early to estimate the good effect upon the relations between France and Germany which this neat little coup upon the part of Emperor William will eventually have, but its first effect has been to cause an outburst of gratitude toward Germany which may pave the way for much better permanent feelings. Germany, since her spat with England upon the Congo treaty question, has been feelmg much more sympathy for France thay for years. past, and the murder of President Sadi Carnot seems to have in- creased the growth of friendliness between the two rival nations. Thus, President Casimir-Perier has a gleam of political sunshine at the outset of his career as chief magistrate. It‘ was announced this morning that the French government had annulled the order, issued in April last, suspending the stipend of the archbishop of Lyons, and all arrears will be immediately paid to him. This, evidently, is another step toward conciliation with Rome. The first step was taken yesterday, when Mgr. Ferrati, the papal nuncio, Walked, with only a little silk skull cap on his head, from the Elysee Palace to the Cathedra) of Notre Dame be- hind the remains of the late president of France. Consequently the regime of President Casimir-Perier opens the day after the fu- neral of his predecessor with improved re- lations with Germany and with the Vatican. Phe president’s attendance at the funeral yesterday, in deflance of precedent and an- archy, and his admirable bearing through- out the ceremonies, have captured the heart of Brance. EUROPE Has A HOT WAVE. Ht Wouldn't Be Considered Very Op- pressive in This Country. PARIS, July 2.—The thermometers in dif- ferent parts of France today have recorded from 57 degrees to 86 degrees of heat. here and on the continent. Over 80 degrees of heat were recorded In England and 8% degrees in Dublin yesterday. ROME, July 2.—The hot wave is severely felt here. The mercury recorded from 64 to 86 degrees of heat today. Police Killed at a Fire. BUDA PESTH, July 2.—Ten houses were destroyed and twenty-five badly damaged yesterday evening by a fire which caused a loss of 500,000 florins. During the conflagra- tion a wail fell, killing two policemen and injuring several firemen. The Vigilant and the Clyde Course.

OMAHA, Neb., July 2—A special to the Bee from Holdredge, Neb., says: Last night two masked men took possession of the street and held up everybody who came along. A young man named Roberts was caught first and searched. He had but 15 cents in money and a watch. J. A. Freder- icks, a merchant, escaped by running. The. robbers kept Roberts a prisoner, and marched him along while they patrolled the streets looking for victims. Leonard Rundstrom, a business man, and Elmer E. Drummond, an Adams Exress messen- ger, were riding by on bicycles, when they were ordered to halt and hold up their hands. Rundstrom complied. with the or- | der, but Drummond did not stop and was | shot. He fell from his wheel and died in |@ moment. While one of the robbers stood | guard the other searched Kundstrom's and then Drummond's body and secured $5, a revolver and a watch. They then ran off them. —— HER HUSBAND'S FRIEND SHOT.

Y., July 2.—Henry Vogler, employed as a night watchmen tn Green- | way’s brewery, living at No. 418 Pearl street, shot and almost instantly killed | William Strutz, a carpenter living at No. 104 John street, this morning, shortly before 8 o'clock. He then turned the revolver on | himself and put a bullet into his right temple. He died in St. Joseph's Hospital at 9:50 o'clock. The cause of the act was | jealousy. ‘The men quarreled about a year ago and hav not spoken to each other since. Vogler had hinted among his friends that Strutz was not exactly where he ought to have been when he (Vogler) was away working at night. Both men leave widows and families. Strutz’s widow lives at No. 113 Seward street. She has not lived with her hus- band for about two years. It is sald that her husband's attentions to the Vogler wo- man caused the separation.

Uniformed Rank, A letter has been recelved by Mr. George E, Emmons, secretary to the executive from Gen. Carnahan, com- mander of the Uniformed. Rank, in which he says that the total number of members of the rank who up to date have officially signified thelr intention of attending the biennlal encampment to be held here in August Is 11,680, apportioned among states as follows: Arkansas, 3”); Colorado, 7! Connecticut, %; District of Columbia, 1,20 Maryland, 450; New Ohio, 2,109; sw; Rhode ‘exas, S5 400; Wiscon- Indiana, 1,500; Louisiana, 7 215; Missouri, 500; Nebraska, York, 900; New Jersey, 490; Ontario, 50; Pennsylvania, Virginia, 300; West Virgin: sin, 350. This letter was sent by Gen. Carnahan in answer to a question from the citizens’ committee, so that no more than the re- large showing for a date so far distant from the time of the encampment. Reps have not been received from all the divi- sions of the Uniform Rank. The estimate also dces not include bands, and each or- ganization has informed the commander- in-chief that it will bring one, and in some irstances, three bands. Some of the large states have not reported to Gen. Carna- han, and many of the reports have probably been delayed by the Pullman boycott, but the general promises to keep the committee Another cause for trouble is that the Western Passenger Association has not yet fixed a rate. The fact that the railroads have made a lower rate for the Grand Army encampment, which meets at Pitts- burg on September 10, is causing some dis- satisfaction in the ranks of the Uniformed Pythians. Gen. Carnahan deavoring to get a meeting of the various general passenger agents, and if ts thought that a conference will be held on July 5. On this matter Gen. Carnahan says: “If we can settle the controversy at that | meeting and get the passenger agents to fix the same rate for Washington that they have fixed for Pittsburg, our numbers will be very materially increased over the fig- ures that are given you in this communica- tion From the statements already in, it will not be safe to make a contract for less number of tents than was first esti- mated by the K. P. committee at Wash- ington.” : At the headquarters of the Pythians at the Warder building there was a quiet and confident air this morning. Several import- ant communications were received; one be- ing from West Virginia in reference to its headquarters, which will be established on Pennsylvania avenue. The citizens meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock to report prog- ress and get down to work, and the Pyth- fans will have a meeting tonight. —— CAPITOL TOPICS, Anti-Option Will Fail. The general impression about the Senate feems to be that the anti-option bill, which passed the House not long ago, will not receive any consideration at this session of Congress in that body. Senator Wash- burn of Minnesota, who made the fight and secured the passage of the bill in the Sen- ate In the last Congress, says he realizes that the long time which has elapsed be- fore any of the appropriation bills have been taken up will mean that all the time of the Senate from now until adjournment will be occupied with appropriations, and that it will be almost impossible to get sufficient time to consider the antt-option till, although if any opportunity should Present he will be ready to call it up. Long Hours to Be A\ joned. It is expected that as soon as the tariff bill passes the Senate that an order will at once be made restoring the old hour of meeting (12 o'clock). Senator Cockrell, chairman of the committee on appropria- tions, will have charge of most of the time thereafter. He says that he believes that the bills from his committee can be put through without resorting to early hours of mecting or sitting late. No Change of Rules, Chairman Blackburn of the Senate com- mittee on rules says that there will be no attempt made to revise the rules at this session, but that the committee on rules will ask leave to sit during the recess for the purpose of revising the rules and will offer them to the Senate at the beginning of next session. He says that he does not know upon what lines the proposed changes will be made, but that the committee will consider 1 the propositions that have been offere: Consular Appropriations. Senator Morgan today introduced three amendments to the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill, cne of which increases from $180,000 to $200,000 the appropriation for contingent expenses for consulates, another for a consul at Zanzibar at a sal- ary of $1,500 per annum, and a third for a secretary of legation at the United States legation to Ecuador, at a salary of $1,500. Pearl Harbor Plans. Senator Kyle today introduced a sesolu- tion calling upon the Secretary of the Navy for information as to what Admiral Walker has done as instructed to do at Pearl Har- bor, in the Hawaiian Islands.

Mr. Everett of Massachusetts has intro- duced a bill in the House amending the laws so as to enable Japanese residents in this country to become naturalized citizens. ca RAI as A Few Brief Remarks.

COMMITTEES|A LIVELY SUMMERI For the Democracy in the Old Do- minion. CONTESTS FOR SEATS IN CONGRESS Active Opposition Reported in Nearly Every District. GEN. ROSSER’S CANDIDACY Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., June 30, 1804. ‘The contest for congressional nominations this summer in the ranks of the democratic party promises to be a most interesting one. The democratic party will have opposition in nearly all, if not all, of the congressional districts. All of the present democratic representatives will be candidates for re- nomination, except in two districts, thcee of the fourth and sixth, where the in- cumbents have declined renominations. In these two districts the contest will be very exciting, and it is impossible to predict who will be successful. In the first district Congressman W. A. Jones of Warsaw will have very little oppo- renominated. In the second district Representative D. rdner Tyler will have strong opposition. f among them is C. Featon Day Isle of Wight county, the father of Miss Lucy Day, to whom Senator-elect Thos. 8. Martin is to be married in November next. candidate, and who has considerable follow- ing, is Dr. C. W. Bryant of Southampton county. assertion, it is presumed that Col. Day will have the support of Senator Martin. The friends of Representative Tyler, however, predict that he will certainly be renomi- nated, as he has been very politic in his distribution of the federal patronage in his district, especially as to the Norfolk navy yard. One thing is certain, whoever the nominee of the democratic party will be, he is sure to have strong opposition at the hands of the republican coalition party. One tion ts in the case of Norfolk City, where tne democratic party is in a bad fix, hav- ing been recently defeated by the prohibi- tion reform ticket in a municipal contest. Among the candidates who are spoken of to be selected by the republican party in this district are H. C. DeClay of Newport News and ex-Mayor Banks of Norfolk. The jatter was President Harrison's collector of customs. It is believed that there will be a strong fight made by the republicans and | prohibitionists to carry this district this fall. | In the third, or Richmond city district, it is believed that Capt. Geo. D. Wise will be renominated, as he seems to have a sort of life tenure in the district. Capt. Wise is an indefatigable worker, and those who would like w secure the nomination are loath to | make an effort for fear of meeting defeat. ;It is not thought that Capt. Wise would |have any opposition from the republican !party, although the friends of Supreme Court Judge L. L. Lewis are endeavoring to induce him to become a candidate. If Judge Lewis declines, then the republicans will probably settle upon ex-Congressman Ed- mund Waddill. In the fourth district, represented now by Mr. James F. Epes, who has declined re- nemination, there are several candidates, but only one of these has made any effort so far to secure the nomination. This is State Senator Thos. N. Williams of Meck- |lenburg county. While ex-Gov. McKinney is being urged to become a candidate he has Pot as vet arnounced “iis intention of doing so, Gov. McKinney, it is generally believed, | would make an excellent representative in | Congress, but he is not the kind 0! a polit- ical worker that generally succeeds in such |a fight. Col. W. T. Atkins of Mecklenburg, | mentioned in this correspondence as a prob- able candidate, has withdrawn for reasons which he has withheld. It is understood, | however, that Col. Atkins will be a cand: Gate for commonwealth attorney for his | county, which will preclude the possibility | of his making the fight for Congress. | , The republicans will certainly have a can- |didate fm this district. Mr. R. T. Thorpe, who: fs at present commonwealth attorney of Mecklenburg, has already announced ;imself asa candidate. Mr. Thorpe has an especially strong following in Mecklenburg, | having defeated all of the democratic nomi- nees for commonwealth attorney that have ever been put ap against him. Thorpe is ‘hard worker, and is very popular with the |negroes, but it is doubtful whether he can jSecure the support of the populists in his | district, which would make his election well |nigh impossible, Col. Thos. F. Goode, who i was the candidate against the incumbent, Mr. Epes, and who contested with that gentleman for the seat, it is expected will ™ @ very popular man with the agrarian | Classes,and will no doubt be chiefly support- ed by them. This it will be readily seen | WIL split the democratic opposition, thus | making democratic success probable. Mr. | Allen of Mecklenburg, who was a membe! | of the recent legislature, 1s also prominently mentioned as a candidate of the populisi Another candidate for the office is Mr. W. M, Flanagan of Powhatan. In the fifth district it is not telieved that Mr. Claude A. Swanson will have any sreat opposition in the ranks of his own party for the re-nomination, but will have party opposition. The man who is looked upon as the Moses of the populists in this district is Mr. W. R. Gravely of Henry county, who was the populist candidate for attorney general last fall, and who at- tracted considerable attention as a shrewd political stump speaker. A great many democrats in this district do not hesitate to express their fears that Mr. Gravely would make it very warm for Mr. Swan- son. A Flood of Candidates. As the sixth district will be without a | representative when the present session of | Congress adjourns, Mr. Eémunds, having. declined renomination, a flood of candi- dates are looked for in this district also. Chief among those who are announced as democratic candidates for the nomination is Capt. Peter J. Otey of Lynchburg, who had proclaimed himself a candidate before the incumbent, Mr. Edwards, declined re- | nomination. Capt. Otey has developed con- siderable strength thus far, and it ts thought that he has the best chance for success. State Senator Watts of Roanoke is another probabie candidate. While he is not an avowed candidate, it is believed he will make the fight before the nominating convention this summer. It is believed that the populists, republicans and prohibition- ists will effect a fusion in this district, es- pecially the populists and prohthitionists, whose state conventions meet at the same tme in Lynchburg, on the 15th of August. It is expected that these two parties will set together and effect a unity of action as to issues, and probably agree upon a can- didate. A free silver declaration ts looked for by the republicans in some one of the conven- uons this year, which will place them nearer the populists, and it is thought that through this channel they will come to- gether, and a general coalition of the three parties looks quite probable now. Senator Cameron's letters to the National Republi- | can League, assembled at Denver, will serve as a help in this direction. There is | some talk of Col. Hampton Hoge becoming a candidate of the republicans in the sixth district, but if this predicted coalition proves a reality, Col. Hoge will be out of the question, for he could not be accept- | able to the préhibitionists, owing to his capade on his way to Amoy, China, as consul, Maj. S. S. Turner, who succeeded Gov. O'Ferrall in the seventh district, will very probably be renominated by the democrats, as he has proved himself most acceptable to his constituents during his brief term in Congress. Gen. Rosser May Ri Gen. Rosser, who is regarded as a eandi- date, will quite likely be selected by the populilsts to oppose Maj. Turner in this district—that ts if he will accept it. Gen. Rosser has acquired considerable unpleasant notorlety by his recent speech here at the unveiling of the soldiers and sailors monu- ment, but it is not thought that this will hurt him in his district, especially among the populist farmers, most of whom, prob- ably agree with the Senator in his radical views as to pensions. Representative E. E. Meredith will be a candidate for renomination by the dem- ocrats In the eighth district. Mr. Meredith, it seems, has proved himself most acceptable to the people of the eighth district, and it is not likely that he will encounter any considerable opposition in his own party. It is very probable, however, that he will have opposition at the hands of the repub- lcan party or populists. It is conceded, however, that Mr. Meredith will be the sition, and {t is conceded that he will be of Another name prominently mentioned as a While there ts no authority for the feature which goes to strengthen this asser- | be the choice of the populists.

Marshall, familiarly known as “Cyclone Jim,” ét is reported, will have considerable opposition for renomination in the ninth district, on account of his selec- tions in the matter of federal patronage and this question, always a menace to po- litical perpetuity, will most probably give | Mr. Marshall considerable trouble this sum- mer. This district is exclusively white, there being very few negroes to contend with. It is full of protectionists, however, and the negro question being eliminated almost a good many of the white people vote with the republicans and sometimes a republican Congressman slips in this way. It is certain that the republicans will have a nominee. A Momentous Struggle. Perhaps the most momento con- gressional struggle of them will be in the tenth district, where in Virginia will cross swords. Here St. |G. Tucker will be opposed by State Senator | H. D. Flood of Appomattox. Mr. Flood, | who is a bright and rising young politician. | was one of Mr. Martin’s leaders in the latter’s fight for the United States Sena- | torship, while Hon. Harry Tucker was a |friend and ally of Fitzhugh Lee. If there |is any truth in the report that this fight j has split the democratic party in Virginia |and that hereafter there will be two fac- | tons, known as the Lee and Martin forces. this contest between Flood and Tucker will verify it. Mr. Flood undoubtedly has the | support of Mr. Martin, and it is sail ihe | latter will bring his n.ost powerful influence to bear upon the contest. Of couse Fitz Lee is helping his friend Harry Tucker, and , So it goes. This struggle is exciting more [interest throughout the state than a j the rest combined, and the result will have | consiterable weight in future contests. ‘he chances now seem to favor Tucker. He is a brilliant young lawyer and his course in Congress is redowning to his credit werwhere. He has been very sagacious as to the distribution of federal patron- | age in his district. He is very popular with | the masses, none the less with the farmers than the city men, and his friends are most confident of his success. seipaeeiacte ASBURY PARK. The Season Opened Auspic' This Seaside Resor Correspondence of The Evening Star. ASBURY PARK, N. J., July 1 Once more the Summer season is In full jswing at the Park and Grove.

From Natural Science, Speaking of wild beaste that are at once large, ferocious and African, a correspon- dent sends us an interesting note about an earth worm. Africa has already produced the largest earth worm (Microchaeta rappi) known to science, with the possible excep- tion of megascolides australis from Austral- ja; but these are giants of a perfectly harm- less kind. The worm to which we now re- fer is said, by Mr. Alvan Millson, assist- ant colonial se¢retary at Lagos, on the west coast of Africa, to inspire dread among the natives of that coast. Its appearance is against it; the worm is not only lange— three or four feet—but it is either of a rich, raw-beefy color or of a lowering black, the difference of color being a mark of a dif- ference of species. On one occasion a number of natives were collected together when one of these giants strolled casually into the camp; the result appears to have been a rapid flight on the part of the natives. The reason for the awe-inspiring character of the worm ts its reputed habit of sucking blood. It does not seem probable that the most recent results of zoological research are known in tropical Africa, but It is a curious coincidence that this research has tended to show that the line of separation between the leeches and earth worms is by no means so wide it was at one time pe to be. This big earth worm of We8t Africa inhabits a lo- cality that is remarkable; it does not, as do most earth worms, burrow constantly in the ground, throwing up castings, but lives in deseried hills of termites. sd which was near Liege.

It will be remembered how, according to the story told in Sir Walter Scott's “Talisman,” with such a weapon the pagan Saladin chopped a soft cushion in two at one blow, te the amazement of Richard Cocur de Lion. With a straight sword one can make a hack or thrust, but to slice an adversary one must saw with ft. The cimeter, bein curved and wide and teavy toward the end, slices by the mere fact of striking. The kind of bayonets chiefly used by the federal troops during the war of the rebellion was the old triangular pattern. Sword bayonets were also employed on guns imported from Europe. During the last ten years the regulation beyonet has been of the “ramrod” type—a hideous in- strument, cylindrical and of the thickness of a ramrod, with a sharp screw point, like that of a carpenter's bit. It Is now to be replaced with the knife bayonet, which somewhat resembles a butcher's knife, is twelve inches long, with one edge. It is quite as effective and much lighter than the sword bayonet. The latter is being dis- ynsed with by most of the Buropean na- tions in favor of the Knife bayonet. The bayonet was a French invention. In the early days of fifearms soldiers used to carry ) guns and pikes, but the notion of at- the pike to the gun in such a man- both could be used at the same the beginning of the idea of the a as
