T IN HOTEL CORRIDORS “Confiding Americans are not the only victims of shrewd foreign confidence men,” said Cuthert Woof of Toronto at the Arling- ton yesterday. “ii the men who repre t foreign nations as consuls in the large American cities, and more particularly those in the interior, were to tell their experi- euces a mighty inieresting book could be ade as a result. I know it is a matter of that confidence men should work m representatives at inland citics, Lut the reason for this is that the consuls in seacoast towns have been bitten so fre- quently that they are pretty wary about giving substantial assistance to their tel- low-countrymen in alleged distress. In Min- neapolis not long ago the consul of a north Europezn power was calied upon by a young man of excellent address, who told a piuiful story about being robbed of a large amount oi morey he had made in Montana and with which he was on his way to his European home. He had letters, which he displayed, from the old folks abroad as weil as numevous communications of a business nature from well-known peuple in Montana and a certilicate showing that he had sent several thousand doilars to Europe to await his arrival there. His story was so piausible that the consul was impressed with its truth and went so far as to invite the young man to be his guest in Minneapolis for a few days, so that he could make him the bearer of sovae remembrar.ces he desired to send to his family on the continent. He advanced the supposed sufferer some $1,500, the lacter insisting upon the consul holding the cer- tificate of deposit until he reached Hurope and returned alone. The consul became so much pleased with the stranger before he left that besides giving him many valuabie Presents to take to his relatives he intrusted him with a substantial sum of money for his younger brother to enable the latter to come to this coun ‘The stranger left Min eapolis with overwheiming protesta- tions of gratitude and sent telegrams of the most thankful tenor to the consul from St. Louis and New York. Two weeks after- ward the consul was called to Chicago on business, and, dropping into the Palmer House billiard room, who should he espy but his alleged unfortunate friend, drinking wine and piaying billiards. ‘The fellow got away, however, before he could be appre- hended, and the consul eventually discov- ered that the swindler had stolen the letters and papers of the man whom he had repre- sented himself to be and had forged the cer- tilicate of deposit for the money that was alleged to have been sent abroad. While the josses of foreign representatives are not usually as heavy as that of the Minneapolis consul the aggregate is very large, and a good many unprincipled scamps appear to be engaged in this variety of swindling.” “Another link has been made in the chain of consolidation that is sure to bind Brooklyn and New York together eventu- ally,” said Felix Van Werken, a civil engi- neer from Gotham, at Wormley’s this morn- ing. “The immense gas mzin tunne! under the East river between the two cities was finished a short while ago and several gen- Ulemen made a pedestrian tour through it early this week. The new tunnel is one of the most remarkable submarine struc- tures in the world, and withstands a great- er water pressure than any similar work. It is a littie over half a mile Jong and i: ten feet hign by eihgt and a half feet wid It is cylindrical im form and Is made of cast iron plates laid im solid concrete walls, except where it goes under Blackwell's 1s- land, when {t runs im the solid rock. On the Brooklyn side the tunnel is about Su feet beneath the river bed, while it is 40 feet below on the New York shore. There 1s 3) feet of water over it in Brooklyn and 65 feet in New York. There is no doubt in my mind that the East river will soon be underiaid with other tunnels for the = of -freight aud passenger traftic tween the two big cities. The use of compressed air power has simplified and lessened the cost of tunnel boring to a very great degree, and inventive genius has done so much toward overcoming the ob- stacles im the way of underground trans- pertation that I am inclined to believe that few difficulties wiil hereafter be found in the way of such @ system being put into operation between w York aad Brook- ya” “I don’t suppose it is the proper thing for @ stranger to come into a community and read it a lecture on its biind provincialism end ultra conservatism,” said Christopher L. Weaver of Chicago at the Riggs House last night, “but as I will not be nere long enough to give an indignant populace a chance to raise my scalp I would like to pitch into your people about thelr wasted opportunities.

A. C. Re- gutin—Races Last Evening. ‘Twenty-five years old today. That fact is the cause for much rejoicing among the members of the far-famed Potomac Boat Club and their many friends. ‘The organiza- tion of nen was effected in 1867, and for a quarter of a century it has moved steadily forward with success and popu- larity. The club, through a committee composed of Mr. William E. H. Merritt, chairman, and Messrs. Frederick J. Blair, John Had- ley Doyle, Charles G. Warden an@ William M. Offley, has made elaborate preparatioas to properly celebrate the anniversary of its birth at Potomac landing, said to be the Prettiest and most romantic spot on the Po- tomac river. The members and guests have been asked to assemble at the boat house at 7 p.m., when they are to board a large barge, decorated with various colors and the flags of all the jocal clubs. The barge will be towed by the steamer Bartholdi. Every prominent boating man and the leading officials of the District have been invited to attend, and invitations have also been extended to every rowing club in America. The board of governors of the Columbia and Analostan clubs have an- nounced their intention of attending In a body, the latter going up in their ten-oared barge. At the landing speeches will be made by the various officers, refreshments served, music rendered and a general good time indulged in, Colu: jas in Trainin; Interest in rowing is increasing rapidly at the Columbia Athletic Club, as the time for the annual Potomac river regatta ap- proaches, and the different teams under Lieut. “Andy” Smith are getting in train- ing for that event. Last night the third club regatta of the season was held at the boathouse. Sam Stinemets did the honors as starter, and the first race, between eights, was started about 7:30 o'clock. The course was from 32d street around the plers of the Aqueduct bridge, with the finish off the boathouse..The contesting crews were distinguished at the blues and the whites, respectively, and were made up as follows: Blues—Maxgee, coxswain; Mc- Gowan, 8; Mann, Eaton, 6; Adam John- son, 5; Dewdney, 4; Stewart, 3; Jaquette, 2; Moat, 1. Whites—Burroughs, coxswain; Frank Johnson, 8; Carter, 7; Wells, 6; Tal- madge, 5; Shields, 4; Clark, 3; Hecox, 2; Sefton, Both crews took the water at the word “go,” and the race was a closely contest- ed one throughout, the Whites finishing first, about 1 1-2 lengths ahead. The “whites,” as made up in this race, will represent the C. A. C. as junior eight in the coming regatta, while the blues were only made up for this occasion, with several green men in the bout, the senior eight not having been picked out yet. The race be- tween fours was very poor, the blues hav- ing a “walkover” from start to finish. Blues—McGowan, stroke; Mann, 8; Ward, 2; Baker, bow. Whites—Eaton, stroke; Tal- madge, 3; F. Johnson, 2; Carter, bow. The famous “chippy” four of the C. A. C., which won every race in which entered last year, will represent the Columbias as senior four this season, with the substitution of Blunt in place of Burroughs. McGowan will pull stroke; Mann, 3; Eaton, 2; Blunt, bow. Going to Staten Island. This year’s senior eight will soon be got- ten together and will be sent to Staten Island on Labor day, to bring back the $1,000 cup, which the club held in ‘01 and ‘92, and which was forfeited last year, no crew being entered. The Columbia's entries in this year’s re- gatta will consist of junior eight, senior eight and senior tour. Lawn Fete Postponed. The weekly lawn fete is postponed from this evening, as the board of governors and a great many of the members have accept- ed invitations to the anniversary celebration of the Potomac Boat Club at Potomac iand- ing. — IN THE CHURCHES.

Invitations are greatly sought after and are not at all easy to get, for the ourt regulations .as ;10 who may and 9 may not be invited are very strict. Only thde thay be presented who have been, pigsented at their courts at home and no cne is expected who ents, a3 tney age afl more or less closely ected with commercial interests. In case of Americans all are eligibie who escape the ban that attaches to trade and for whom invitations are secured through the American minister. One of the best known merchants in New York city, a man of excellent position and a member of a number of t most exclusive clubs, was refused an invitation to the cherry blossoin fete this last spring because there was a suspicion that he had been looking into the matter of tea for his big wholesale store In New York. The regulations that apply to this garden party compel all men to wear long frock coats and high hats, and women are forbidden to wear mourning and must be dressed in some bright color. The rule about men results in some curious effects, inasmuch as the average globe trot- ter does not carry with him a silk hat and not always a frock coat. At the fete this spring there were some remarkable speci- mens of headgear and coats. One young man apologized to a party of friends he met for his unusual figure, explaining that that was the only frock coat he could get on such short notice, and that in order to get it to come anywhere near fitting him he was cornpelled to put on four other coats underneath. During the entire afternoon he was never seen to put on his nice new hat. When asked the reason he explained that it was a 6 1-8 tile, while he had a 7 1-4 head. A well-known Washingtonian who prides himself on always wearing the latest styles in headgear was compelled to put up for the time being with the only high hat that was left in the store. It was a crush hat covered with black satin, and how it could ever have found its way into Japan is a question, for it looked to be- long to a vintage of some years prior to the opening of the treaty ports.. The mem- bers of the receiving party themselves were in a way rather curlous-looking specimens. The emperor was ail right, for he wore a _— military costume not unlike the French ful! dress; with the wom- en it was quite different. They all wore European dress, but it was not so much what they wore as the funny way they wore it. No American woman among the guests would admit that she was so oid as to know when dresses like those were ever in style. To add to the amusement of the foreignet the Japanese ladies at court evidently had little idea of how to put the dresses on. Their figures are not adapted to Paris gowns, and it was noticed that the empress had the belts which are supposed to go around to make the waist fit snug hanging gracefully as a pair of streamers down the back. Curiously enough, almost all the taflors in | Japan are Chinese. Their charges are very moderate compared with American prices, and a man can get a good suit of clothes of English goods made for $10 or $12 that | would t him from three to four times that amount on this side of the Pacific. These Chinese tailors are wonderfully clever | in the matter of imitating whatever is given | them as a model to go by. A young lady | from Washington was in Yokohama not | long ago, and being rather short of travel- ing gowns she ordered one from a tatlor there, giving him one of hers to copy. The | result was a remarkable fac-simile of the gown that was made for her by a high- priced Washington modiste. It | was too close a copy, in fact, for her old one had | been outgrown, and she let in a piece of cloth at the back to make it fit better. The new gown had a piece of another kind of cloth let in the oye 3 in the same way, not- withstanding the fact that the tailor had yards of material tg spare. But this experience was as nothing to that of another American woman resident in Japan. She was coming home soon and decided to lay in a supply of knickerbockers for her little seven-year-old son. As a mat- ter of economy shé oriered fourteen pairs and sent an old one to serve as a model. Her consternation tas beautiful in pleteness when she opened her pi swith a large patch of a different color neatly in- laid into the seat and right knee of each ‘Individual pair. ‘ #6 In the matter of their use of tobacco the Japanese are very economical.

For a cooiie to make sixty miles in a day with his leaded carriage ts not considered at all un- | usual, though it is customary tg have two men for each vehicle on such a long run. So provided I made a journey not long ago of just thirty miles, the actual time con- sumed being just five hours. They stopped just once for a brief breathing spell, a sip of tea and a couple of whiifs of tobacco, and then they were off again. Leaving our party they returned to Yokohama the same evening, making the distanc hours. Sixty miles in ten hours is not slow oing, but the most remarkable thing was hat going back the two men took turns riding in the ‘rickisha. They say it is easier to pull a loaded ‘rickisha than it is an empty one. A coolie with a small pack- age in his hand to carry would probably not make more than twenty-five miles a day. When they are in the shafts they want to go as hard as they caf clip it all the time, but they never lose their temper, and always have a pleasant simile for their passengers, The Japanese are proverbial for their love of flowers. They are particularly fond of the blossoms of fruit trees, and in the spring the cherry blossom is quite as much a feature of the landscape as is the chrys- anthemum in the fatl. They have more | than a score of differeut varieties of cherry trees, in all sizes and shapes. Some even trail gracefully almost to the ground like weeping willows. Peach, plum and pear trees are all very popular, but, like the cherry, they are cultivate! solely for their beauty, and*bear no fruit. The Japanese s have an eyé for the future, and in ying out a railroad recently a | row of cherry trees was set out on each side of the proposed line even before the work of grad- ing was commenced. By the time trains are running the passengers will have some- thing better to look at from the car win- dows than ugly cuts’ and embankments. If something of the same sort were done in this country raflroad traveling would be much more delightful from an esthetic point of view. es es © e Wages are very low indeed in Japan, yet every one seems able to make a de- cent living. A ‘rickisha man charges sev- enty-five sen or cents a day. But, as they measure by Mexican doilars, the purchas- ing power of an American dollar ts just doubled, so that the actual cost of travel- ing in one of the most comfortable vehicles ever Invented 1s but thirty-seven and a half cents a day. For an ordinary run or “course” the price is ten sen. The coolies, as the 'rickisha men are locally called, have curious ideas as compared with Washington cabmen, for when they are hired by the day they would rather go fast than slow. They would rather make a through trip than loaf around among the shops. The first time an American 1s charged extra for seing siow his surprise is likely to know no hounds, | tained in the cit —————— nt TROOPS KEPT ORDER|THINGS HEARD AND SEEN|THE LEADERS SCORED Nearly a Fight at the Polls at Pullmaa I ‘The A. R. U. Man Elected—La Girls Attacked by “‘Women—Debs Named for Presiden ry The unusual sight of military called on to preserve order at the polls was witnessed at Pullman, IIL, yesterday. At the sixth primary district of the thirty-fourth ward, located at the Pullman engine house, a hot fight was waged between factions support- ing George W. Miller and Fra: i. Robey for nomination at the third senatorial con- vention to be held today. Miller's interests at the Pullman polls were in charge of Alderman Chadwick, while the American Railway Union candi- date, Robey, was supported by a large crowd of the strikers. The iatter claimed that their man was not having fair piay, and that Miller had two of the three judges and all the clerks. They placed Willian Birkhof at the polis as challenger, end Alderman Chadwick demurred, claiming Uthat Birkhoff was not a resident of the district. This caused a lively row and for a time it looked as if the row, which was rapidly increasing in size, would clean out the polling place. The poiice were notified and sent a patrol wagon, with Lieut. Gasvett and eight officers, to the scene. At the same time some one called for the troops and two detachments of company F, first regi- ment, Were sent on the dorble quick to the Folls, The show of force prevented any trouble and the police drove the crowd back from the polling place. In the election the A. R. U. delegates to the state senatorial convention t.ere elected by 244 to 104. Laundry Girls Attacked. No more trouble eccurred until 4 o'clock, when the laundry girls qrit. When they left the works they were surrounded by a demonstrative mob of from S00 to 1,000 women and children. A portion of the crowd followed Minnie Kaufman through the streets of Pullman to her home. Ne Market hall they stopped her progress and began calling her names, and one woman, it is said, struck her in the face. Several Policemen stepped in at this juncture and gave her protection to her heme. No ar- rests were made. In the meantime an escort of ten police, led by Sergt. Riley, was naving an inter- esting time protecting tae rest of the laan- dry girls, who lived in Reseland. A mob of nearly 500 women and cniidtren and a few men foliowed them froin the works down Florence avenue, and on lii'h street to the Mlincis Central tracks. The police were not accustomed to dealing with a crowd ef the feminine gender and did liiie more than keep the most turbulent women from geiz- tug hold of the frightened girls. The entire march was enlivered with cries of “scabs” and other epithets. At Roseland, where the girls separated, each was follow- ed home by a small group of the women, whose object seemed to be to see where the girls lived. At 5 o'clock fifty Hoilanders who have been employed about the works as lumber shovers, track graders and repairers, left the southeastern gate of the works for their homes in Roseland. They had a guard of sixteen policemen. Scarcely had they come from the works when 100 of the Strikers, shouting “scabs” and other names, surrounded them. They took the same course toward Koseland as had been taken by the laundry girls. Before Roseland was reached the crowd following them had in- creased largely, and it became necessary for the pelice to charge it several times, with a liberal use of the club, before it was dispersed, The Pullman laundry was started yester- day with a force of forty girls, most of whom were old employes. Three hundred men were at work in the shops cleaning up, oiling machinery, and making a careful in- spection. In addition to these 250 applica- tions have been received from old work- men, Sensational Story Denied. Regarding the report from Hammond, Ind., that a mob attacked a Lake Shore freight train, Mr. Wilber,western passenger agent of the Lake Shore, say After the train was side-tracked~ at Whiting, at a meeting point with another train, two men were seen to pull the coup- ling pin. They have since been apprehend- ed and are now under arrest. ‘here was ret a gun discharged, there was no great crowd, and it would seem unnec us to deny the statement that all of our trains are going out under guard, for as a matter of fact during the worst of trouble our trains were not ac by armed men, except throu; and there was no time at wh sidered that there was any terference as far east as Wh Debs for Presi¢ omy) h th yards, h we con- danger of in- | were labor all of one posed to the democratic ties, and. predicted a the populists in the ~ s00 IN Loca L sTUbios, Among the few artists who hs ¥y their work ve been de- re Mr. J.

The background and al! other acces- scries have been kept in such a low key that the attention is immediately attracted to the face, where the artist has caught to perfection the keen, animated expression which {s so characteristic of the Senator when engaged in conversation. In addition to this, Mr. Wallace has on hand a number of other commissions, among which is an ideal composition of “Spring.” which will probably be placed on exhibition early in the fall. Another industrious member of the fra- ternity fs Mr. Dunbar, whose most im- pertant recent work {s the marble bust of Martin Van Buren, which he has just com- pleted. Probably the excellent subject has ecntributed in no small degree to the fine result of the sculptor’s efforts; at any rate, it is a fine thing, and will compare most favorably with the other specimens of plus- tic art which adorn the ate chamber, where the bust will be placed within a few days. Mr. Dunbar has also just fnished a bust in plaster of Mr. Horatio King, which will be cast in bronze and exhibited during the Paris Salon next year. The portrait in c of the sculptor Mr. Wm. Ordway Partridge, which has attracted so much favorable a‘ tention, is being given the last few touches, after which {t will be sent to Paris, and cut mn marble, and also exhibited during the Salon. The imat two portraits are, perhaps. the best Mr. Dunbar has ever done, at least he has done no bet: Not only are | they effective from an artistic standpoint, but they cenbody each ch: teristic of the reepective models, both being unusually fine and interesting representatives of widely differing types.

Such gatherings as the forthcoming couclave of the Knights of Pythias fill up the commun- ity treasury of the city in a most subsian- tial sort of a way, erd put vigorous life in its commercial veins. Such a committee as that which I have sugrested would be of infinite advantage to Washington. It could place itself in communication with all or- ganized societies, assvciations and similar bodies that hold coaventhons or meetings of a general character, and I believe that the employment of some bright, energetic, wideawake and hustling man to travel in the interests of such a committee would be found to be wonderfully remunerative in eventual results. * ° “Dey ain’ much ter tell, boss,” was the doleful response. “You knows w’en I got off de udder night.

His Remarks im the Case of the Mes Arrested for Begging—Carrying Concealed Weapons. The decision of Judge Miller in the ease of the membe:s of the Kelly crowd of men, who have tramped and beat their way om railroad trains in order to reach here from the west, was a surprise to the leaders of the army, who do not go out on besging exe editions, but who probably remain in camp and wait for the alleged vagrants to make their returns. Judge Miller in deciding the case upheld the police in the efforts to keep these begwars out of this District, and, as Stated in yesterday's Star, he released them, not because they were innocent, but for the reason that they were the first ones brought in before him.
