CAMP WERTS, SEA GIRT, 'N. J. * August 28, 194. If the District sharpshooters had been privileged to order weather which would give them the hardest sort of wind prac- tice they could not have procured anythin: better than was on tap yesterday. The morning was gray ani the clouds con- tributed swiftly to a mixed-up meteorolosi- cal situation that promised several things at one time, yet failed to make good any one of th: promises. Then there was a strong breeze sweeping over this portion of the earth's surface; a breeze that shook the strongest and steadiest and played hide- and-seek in rifle barrels until the team men were really tired of their conftict with the aggressive air. Dut the wind would not have caused half so much trouble had it blown steadily. For awhile it was like unto a brick wall, and could safely be leaned it was that the day had been well spent, and that the steady results at 200 toti were by Pollard, Laird, Dell amd Diener with half a dozen others of the detachment not far behind. The caterer undoubtedly rea!- tzed thai done, for never tackled During strolled over returned same plety—dependent pearance right—a trifle hazy, peraps—and there wasn’t enough wind to annoy. Each com- petitor fired two sighting shots, and when that preliminary had been attended to each man fired a string of seven shots. Corp. Maurice Appleby came out ahead, with a 33. Privates Cook and Scott and Ieut. Laird were close up, with 31 each. The others, with a couple of exceptions, did re- markably well. The aggregate was fectly satisfactory, and showed that, while the team was out of practic>, it had not forgotten how to shoot. The present prom- ise is for a team that will be at least as good as any of its predecessors. Today's Program is not a icng one, and it will prob- ably be over at an erly hour. There is suck a thing as too much practice, but the District team will not suffer therefrom. Yesterday each competitor fired fifty rounds—which was a good deal of shooting for mea who are ye: in “green” condition physicaily. Today the tatal number for each will be less than thirty, and it is not likely that a greater quantity will be shot tomorrow. Everybody now on the ground is much pleased with the prospect of a hot fight on Tuesday next. It is already certain that there will be six teams here to compete for the Hilton ard Interstate trophies; they are coming from Maine, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia and the Dis- trict of Columbia. There have not been ro many for years—rot since Creedmoor was at its best, away back in the -niddle eigh- ties. No one here has any information as te the strength of the teams, so a good deal of guessing is being indulged in; it will be a beautiful and exciting struggle. Private S. B.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., August 27, 1894. ‘The democrats have completed their nom- inavions of Congressmen, and the following is the list: First district, W. A. B. Branch of Washington; second, F. A. Woodard of Wilson; third, John G.Shaw of Fayetteville; fourth, Charles M. Cooke of Louisburg; fifth, A. W. Graham of Oxford; sixth, jas. A. Lockhart of Wadesboro; seventh, John S. Henderson of Salisbury; eighth, W. H. Bower of Lenoir; ninth, W. T. Crawford of Waynesville. Four of these, Shaw, Cooke, Graham and Lochart, are new men. The populists have as yet nominated only one congressional candida‘e, William F. Stroud of Chapel Hill, from the fourth dis- trict. The republicans have nominated H. P. Cheatham of Henderson or George H.White of Newbern (both claim the nomination and are in the field) in the second district; Os- car J. of Dunn in the third; Thos. Settle of Wentworth in the fifth; Romu- lus Z. Linney of Taylorsville in the eighth; Richmond Pearson of Asheville in the ninth. Pearson's candidacy is rather that of an independent republican, as his nomi- nation was not regular. He hopes to get populist support, and claims that he wilt do so. There is, as yet, no prospect of a set- tlement of the contention between Cheat- ham and White, both colored republicans, in the second district. Hiram L. Grant, a white republican who engineered the late “deal” between the populists and republi- cans, wants to get both White and Cheat- ham to stand aside and let him make the canvass in the second. But it is the “black district,” and many of the negroes insist that a “black man must represent it.” In the fifth district Rufus Amis, who threatened to come out as a candidate for Congress against Settle, the republican nominee, has kept his word. The republican state executive committee meets here next Wednesday and the state convention of that party the following day. As yet no man can say whether there will or will not be fusion or “co-operation” with the populists. The feeling Is extreme be- tween the fusion and the anti-fusion fac- tions. The republican state committee's chairman, John B. Eaves, is mest bitterly opposed to fusion. The fusionists now claim that his own county, Rutherford, has declared against him and for fusior. ‘There is now little doubt of a lively ses- sion of the republican state convention. Two years ago there was elmcst a fight between the Mott and Eaves factions. ‘There is no more love between these now than then and it ts the same old fight, merely under a new name, which so tears the party to pieces. ‘The populists are in a state of mind now to do anything to beat the democrats. The republicans will use this sentiment for all it is worth. —.—— Passperts Required in Hai ‘The Secretary of State kas been acvised that the Haitien government has revived -he law of 1864 relative to persons arriv- ing from forcign countries ard their de- parture.

The Beaaties of September Correspoudeure of The Evening Sta “CAPE MAY, N. J., August 27, 184. The season here remained at its» best until this morning, when, as ts always the case, the departing trains were pretty gen- erally crowded with visitors returning home. The usual northeast storm which nearly always visits the seashore in thé latter end of August came this morning to remind the more timid in days of such Phenomena that it was “going-home” time: for them. While hundreds left the resort today,there are many remaining to enjoy September here. That month is the finest season of the year at the seashore, and no. beter bathing nor happter evenings can be pass- ed, and the temperature is\ so delightful then that the rounds of gayety can be gone through with without much discomfort. Of late yeare Cape May has been the home in September of a large cottage colony ani of numerous guests at these hospitable villas. Many of our best cottage residents entertain largely and grancly. The season of opera and evening concerts will close with the preseat week, and thea all entertainment will be at private cot: tages and only opea to the tnavitel guests. September is also an excellent month here for the disciples of Izaak Walton. Fish never are more abundant than then,and hun- dreds take the month to enjoy such sport. The shooting season for some game also comes in on the Ist of the month, and many enjoy such privileges also. Already many gunners are here with their champion dogs, and ready fcr the opening of the season. Next Saturday the meadows about the Cape will be the piacos to hear the report of the guna, end Cape May will be turned from a fashionable summer resort to a spor:sm=n‘s headquarters.

The Attorney General has sustained the officers of the Treasury Department in their controversy with the authorities of the state of Mississippi in regard to the issue of special warrants in similitude of United States notes. Upon the representations of Secretary Carlisle and Secret, Service Chief Hazen, the Attorney General has instructed the United States attorneys at St. Louis, Chicago and Jackson, Miss., to begin pro- ceedings under section 5430 of the Revised Statutes against the St. Louis Bank Note Company, the Western Bank Note Company of Chicago and the persons in the state of Mississippi who were responsible for the issue of the warrants and all parties who have passed them as United States money. Section 5430 makes it a felony to print any- thing in the likeness of obligations of the United States, and fixes the punishment at @ fine of not more than $5,000 and imprison- ment at hard labor not more than fifteen years. It is assumed that under the in- structions of the Attorney General actions will be begun against Gov. Stone, the audi- tor of state and other state officers. Reunion of Heptasop!

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Oyfof August 27, 1904. Everybody expects’ to see some of the hottest. fights et, the camins democratic State convention that has ever been se2a on a similar occasioa in this state. The severil factions have had a number” of grievances on hand for some time, and the present is generally recognized as a good time to fight them cut. There has never beon a time when it could be done with as little danger of toss to the party. Every- thing is geaeraly conceded to ve lost be- yond recovery, anyhow, for this ycar. Alien W. Thurman will be there with his free silver plank, which he says must go in this time, or he will know the reason why. ‘The Campbell mea will be there in force to resist this. They will probably have the support of Senator Brice. ‘The Cleveland men will be there, demand- ing @ plank indorsing the President in his tariff policy, and, of course, denouacing the Gorman-Erice ccmbination in the Senate. It will be impossible to avert a clash on this point, with the party excited over it as it now is. The principal fight of the con- vention will be over this matter. ‘The Brice men would. n> d:ubt, be satis- fied to have a plank simply indocsing bo: the President for his “courageous” stan] in favor of tariff reform and the action of the Senate, which resulte? in securing the “oxcetient™ tariff law that was finally se- cured. A Brice democrat susgestel to The Star correspondent that the proper “hing to do would be to simpiy Insert a plank congratulating the President and Congr:3a upon the fact that they have fotlow: the Chicago platform and s2-:ure} the re peal of the McKinley law. This, he thought. would do justice to ail ani offend no ene. It is almost certaia that 2 resolution will be offered denouncing the American Pro- tective Association, similar to that Insarted in the platform of; the demozrats in In- @iana and other states. Rut the demo- cratic party, ax well, as the republican party, in Ohio, is thoroughly honey-comb=d with the a. P. A. organization, and it will be no doubt. Perhaps the unwill- ingness of the members to show their con- nection with it in a public way may pre- vent am open fight being mad2 on it, but the resolutioa will not have smooth sailing. If the democrats in state conveation do adopt an anti-A. P. A. resolution it will have a damaging effect in the county and congressional elections upon their cand!- dates. In many cases these candidates are depending upon the A. P. A. votes to elect them. Gov. McKinley and the Legisiatarc. Gov. McKinley won a signal victory over strong opposition in his party in the legis- lature last winter on the question of annual or biennial sessions. ‘The governor com- | mitted himself in fa¥or df bienaial sessions jin his annual mesrige to the legislature. When the legislature mot the conditions had changéd somewhat, and were not 89 favorable for the cheng®*from the old sys- tem to the new one of only one session in } two years. The governof was strongly im- portuned to withdraw his recommendation, or, at least, not press tt. This he would mot do, urging that the party hol prom- ised in the campvign ithit they would the biennial system if put in power—in fact, it was a-part of the party platform. The need of a thorough change in the State system of tax. . and the fact that it was about to be Begun, seemed also to be a good argument in favor of having a session this. winter,}.af least. Many were won over on this argument, and it lookel for a time as though the governor would lose the proposition, but he did not. It now looks as though hé would have a hard fight, after all, to keep the legislature away from Columbus this winter. A strong movement has been started at Cincinnati to have the legislature meet this winter in extraordinary session to devise wa. and provide means to give labor to the unem- Ployel. It is generally conceded that the coming winter is going to be severer on the unemployed mechanics than last winter was, for the reason that many of them will go into the winter with almost nothing to People who were interested last winter in the city organizations for the re- Hef of the unemployed are joining in the request for an extra session of the lezisla- ture. On Saturday a committee from the Asso- ciation of the Unemployed Mechanics of Cincinnati came here to sea the governor in regard to this matter. They had sup- Posed that a law passei tyo years ago ap- plying to Cincinnati was still in effect, and would enable that city to issue bonds to relieve the unemployed, as the city might see fit. But the corporation counsel has held that this cannot be done. Gov. McKin- ley was not in the city, but the committse was dirested to the attorney general. He declined to give an opinion in the matter unless the governor would request it. This the governor will probably do when he re- turns to the city next week. Pressure for a session of the general as- sembly this winter is also coming from an- other direction. The state finances are running low, and are likely to get into such a condition before 1896 as to make it pinch pretty hard. When a large number of the state institutions get out of the stuff that moves the wheels the cry is likely to go up that cannot well be ignored by the powers that be. Forgot Labor Day. Gov. McKinley came very near offending the union labor men of the state in the matter of issuing the usual labor day proc- lamation. It is quite evident that the gov- ernor forgot it, but that is not admiited. The time was getting short, and the com- mittee on arrangements for Labor day cel- ebration here heard that the governor had gone to Pennsylvania, to be gone a week or ten days. So they sent a committee to wait upon the governor, to find out whether he intended to issue a proclamation or not. They happened to call on a day when the governor's private secretary ‘vas away also, and so got little satisfaction. Private Secretary Boyle returned the next day, however, and saw that immediate action was urgent, and at once issued a proclam: tion; and it is said to be about as good a proclamation as the goverror could have issued himself. The governor ts still in Pennsylvania, Suits for Flooded Land. A scandal of no small proportions, arising out of the closing work of the last session of the legislature, has just come to light. On last Wednesday Attorney General Richards was netified that three suits for damages had been brought against the state in the Auglaize county courts, under a spe- cial act of last winter. This turned atten- tion for the first time ta the act cited. It was found to have been rushed through on the last day of the session us a local meas- ure. It, in fact, gave three men power to sue the state in that county to secure al- leged damages for the overflow of their land by water from’ the’ Mercer reservoir. The act provides that the finding of this court shall be final.’ The people about the reservoir have been in arms against it for years, and it has been found necessary at times to call out the mililtary to prevent them from cutting the banks and destroy- ing it. A jury there: will be pretty sure to allow all the damages «asked. And these damages are most,exorbitant. The land overflowed was bought from the state not long ago for about $2.50 per acre. Yet these three small farmers ask in all about $30,000 damages. a ertor Department Changes. The Secretary of the Interior has ac- cepted the resignation of Mr. D. P.

Correspondence of the Evening Star. HARPER'S FERRY, W. Va., August 28, 1604. The prosperity which has visited simmer ris in every direction this year has not slighted Harper's Ferry. The season has boen an exceptionally satisfactory one, both from the standpoint of those who provide and those who are providel for. Ail of the resuiar boarding houses have been filled to overflowing during the month just closing and many cottages adjacent to them have been presse] into service. When the Saturday night train arrives, bearing its precious load of husbands, brothers and lovers, the usually staid and quiet village of Harper's Ferry is simply beside Itself. Conveyances of every de- ser.ption are offerei for the transportation of the aforementioned inJispensables and they are quicxiy driven up the rocky hill road to the places where their wives, sis- ters and sweethearts are temporarily lo- cated. The summer boarder contingent of the population of Harper's Ferry finds amuse- ment in many different ways. Informal card Pariies, dancing and ridin: Parties do much toward making things lively, and they are thoroughly en- jJoyed by all, and especially by the young people. It is quite touching to note the tender devotion with which the couniry boy applies himself to the entertainment of the visiting young ladies. During the winter the native belles quite suffice, but when the warm summer months again roll around he feels the need of a change and rest. How the country girl enjoys being thus placed upon the back seat three months in the year ts not known, but we have every reaSon to believe that wien “winter comes again”. the necessity fur amusement compels her to overlook the shortcomings of her inconstant companion. During the present season, the heights back of Boltver, overlooking that town and Harper's Ferry, have come into prominence being excellent locations for summer boarding houses, and already seve-al such houses have been opened. Juage Vale of Washington has recently purchased the old stone mansion “Gray- stone,” and has been spending the summer months there.

Officer Lohman reached the doo- as | it was being closed, just in time to put his foot in and prevent it from being fastened. As he did so one of the brothers ran at him with a chair pitchei high above his head ani brought it down with force. ‘The door ing but partly open, the chair was unable to strike its intented mark. By this thme Lohman was joined by Oificer Conlon, and the two togeiner fo>ced open the door. Then began a bombardment of the officers with every availabic hard object that the brothers could find at hand. A brick used to keep back a-dcor was hurled with effect, making a painful bodily bruse on Lohman. G.ass dishes, ink weils, metailic picture frames and other such artictes followed m rapid succession. Coniop was knocked down with a chair. The brothers, though, or at least ‘three of them, were finally overpower- e1. They proved to be Walter, William and Levi.

A black setter dog, thought to be rabid, made his appearance on 35th street, in “Bryantown,” ycsterday, and snappel and Wayne, fearing that the animal would suc- ceel in biting scme one, ran into his home, and securing a gun, started after him. The dog ran for life. He went through the sub- division of Burleith, throtgh Dr. Ciark’s piace, down the Ridge road vo tne Foxhail, acd ‘became finaily lost. He was fired at ot ce, and the gunner says his load took ef- fect, blood appearing, but the dog went on. During his whole race for life he frothed. vagsed his head from side to side, and smappel at everything in his path. Mr. Jorn’ Heijgman narrowly escaped being bit. The ecesidents in the vicinity of the place where tne dog disappeared are all excite- ment. Parties have been searching ever 2ince for the brute.

The New York World today prints a special cable dispatch from Paris, saying that “fer a month past very definitely stated reports have been current among American friends of Mr. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbiit, in London and Paris, that formal negotiations were in progress be- tween them for a judicial separation. Fail- img that, it has becn said there was a Probability of a suit for divorce on the part of Mrs. Vanderbilt. There is no doubt that Mrs, \anderbi't has consulted friends as to the advisability of imstituting such proceed- igs.” The name of Neily Neustretter, a very well-known woman living in Paris, thougn of Dutch birth, is mentioned in this con- nection, with what authority is not known. The cable dispatch says: formal Proposition has been made by Mrs. Vander- vilt for a separation on terms of an annual allowance of $iv,W0, the custody of her children and the jon of the three houses at Newport, Islip and in New York.” Mr. Vanderbilt is said to have offered rauch less favorable terms. A Newport special to the World says: “The talk of the domestic infelicities of Mr. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt at Newport extends over a period of two years or more, and as far back as that time the probability of a separation was the gossip of the Pisce.” ———+e- THE DISMISSED POLICEMEN. A Largely Signed Petition Asking a Rehearing for Them. A petition bearing the signatures of 118 citizens and residents of the District of Columbia has been received by the Com- missioners in behalf of the five policemen, Philip J. Hayden, William Kemp, Robert E. Lee, Washington Sanford and Alexander McKie, who were recently dismissed from the metropolitan police force. The petition reads as follow: “The undersigned citizens of the United States respectfully represent that the sum- mary dismissal of our fellow citizens, Philip J. Hayden, William Kemp, Robert E. Lee, Washington Sanford and Alexander McKie, late members of the metropolitan police force of said District, after their acquittal by the legally constituted trial board of said police force, and for an offense un- known to the laws of the land or the regu- lations of said police force, was, in the judgment of your petitioners, en improvi- dent act and a great injustice to unose hon- est, faithful, courageous and efficient of- ficers, and inflicted undeserved hardship and humiliation upon said officers and their families. “These officers, in common with other reputable members of said police force,were the vigilant guardians of the persons and property of the people of the District by night as well as by day, and are entitled to this expression of our grateful apprecia- i of their services. “Whereupon they pray that the record of the proceedings and the testimony of said trial may be examined, and that said im- provident dismissal be set aside.” —_——— Senator Gorman’s Health. From the Baltimore Sun. Friends and acquaintances of Senator Gorman in Washington place no credence in the report that the Senator's health is so seriously impaired that a visit to one of the German springs and a general conti- nental tour are necessary for his restora- tion to his physical condition. Senator Gorman, they say, has long contemplated a European trip with his family, and they say this trip would have been taken this summer had Congress adjourned in time to permit it. They say it is now too late, and that the Senator has ed any pro- jected European journey is disproved by the fact that he has engaged quarters at a Saratoga hotel for a month. Should present plats carry he may make a tour of Europe after the adjournment of Con- gress on March 4 next to carry out a long- cherished object. Mr. Gorman’s health at present is reported to be in good shape. His ailment last spring was inflammation at the neck of the bladder, from which he has EE ee recovered. any apprehensions re- garding Mr. Gorman’s health. —se0—_____ Ipcome Tax Instead of Protection.
