Conviction of One of the Aquia Creek Robbers. The jury in the case of the Aquia creck train robber, Charles Morgan, brought in & verdict of guflty at Stafford Court House, Va., last evening, and sentence was placed at eighteen years in the penitentiary. The prosecuting attorney, Mr. W. Sey- mour White, received in twenty minutes after the verdict was knowr the following telegram from Gov. O'Ferrall: “Congratu- lations on your splendid prosecution. Train robbers will seek some other state for their nefarious work. Virginia juries will up- hold the law.” It was Just 4 o'clock when the prosecut- ing attorney closed his two hours’ argu- ment, in Winding up the case. It was just 4:10 when the jury came back. The court Toom was packed. “Gentlemen of the jury, look upon the prisoner,” ‘said Clerk Bryan, “have you agreed upon your verdict?” “We have,” replied Foreman Jones, in a firm voice. “Is he guilty or not guilty?” “Guilty,” said the foreman, and the ver- dict was handed up. “We, the jury, find the prisoner, Chas. Morgan, alias Charles Augustus Morgan- thal, guilty as charged in the indictment, and fix his term of confinement in the Penitentiary at eighteen years,” read out the clerk. The judge then asked Morgan if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced. Half raising himself, he said: “I was not ready for trial. I had no idea I would be tried at this term of the court. I was not physically or men- tally in condition to be tried and did not want to be tried in this condition.” “The court sees no reason in that for not passing sentence,” said Judge Ashton. “You have had a fair trial. The jury is one of the best thaf could be gotten in this trial. You have had able counsel. In view of the very strong evidence in the case you are very fortunate in not suffering the ex- treme penalty of the law. The judgment of the court is that you be taken to the penitentiary of this state and there con- fined for a period of eighteen years, but the execution of the sentence will be suspended until the 5th day of April next to enable your counsel to apply for an appeal.” Messrs. Shay and Little were not daunted by the verdict, but at once moved for a new trial on the ground that the verdict ‘was contrary to the law and the evidence and that the jury did not understand the evidence. This motion was overruled, and counsel excepted. A motion in arrest of judgment was then made and this.was also overruled and ex- cepted to. The prosecution then moved for a continuance of the other four cases Autograph of Josephine, Engen ofthe Peat The March CENTURY Ready everywhere Friday, March 1st, CONTAINS: The Marriage of Napoleon, Chapters in Prof. Sloané’s history, with a new portrait of Josephine and eight full-page illustrations by famous artists.

This motion was opposed by Senator Little, one of Morgan’s counsel, who insisted that he was ready for trial. ‘The court continued the cases. ‘The commonwealth then announced that it was ready to try Charles J. Searcey. Searcey was brought into court, and through Mr. R. H. L. Chichester, whom he had requested to act for him, asked for a continuance. No objection being raised his case was continued. Morgan has now been convicted of the crime of robbery on one indictment. There are four others pending against him. : = SS CAPITOL TOPICS. Two Kansas Regiments. Representative Baker of Kansas has re- Ported to the House from the invalid pen- sions committee a bill extending the provisions of the act of June 27, 1590, to, the eighteenth and nineteenth regiments cf Kansas cavalry volunteers. These organi- zations back in the sixties were called out te aid in the suppression of Indian hos- tilities, and they were composed largely of men whose homes have been devastated and families murdered by the Indians during their raids on the frontier settle- ments. The s2rvices rendered by them, the committee holds, were of a very excep- tional character, and tho results of the same have been widespread ahd beneficent. No dangerous precedent, it belleves, will be established by the enactment of the bill into law, as these were the only volunteer organizations which have been mustered into the United States service since the civil war. Right of Way for Electric Power. Representative Caminetti of California has reported to the House a proposed amend- ment to existing law permitting the grant- ing of rights of way on the public domain to the extent of twenty-five feet, together with the use of necessary ground, not ex- ceeding forty acres, to any citizen or as- sociation for the purposes of generating manufacturing or distributing cle.tric power, The Veto Sustained. The House yesterday afternoon refused, by a vote of 154 to 97, to pass over the Presidert’s veto a pension bill which he had returned to the House. The Settle-Williams Contest. The House yesterday refused, by a vote of 145 to 103, to take up the contested elec- tion case of Settle against Williams. The Fortifications Dll. The conferees of the two houses have reached an agreement on section nine of the fortifications appropriation bill, relat- ing to breech-loading mortars, which has been in dispute for the past month. The amendment is agreed to by the House con- ferees with a Slight modification, prescrib- ing the requisite qualifications which 12- inch breech-loading mortars presented for test shall possess, which is to the effect that they shall be at least equal to “the best service mortar. in use,” instead of making the comparison with the stecl- hodped service mortar, as proposed by the Senate. The agreement also includes a pro- vision for the repeal of the paragraph of section six of the fortification appropria- tion act of 1888, relative to the purchase of 12-inch breech-loading mortars. Seekivg Consideration. Many applications have been made to Speaker Crisp for time to call up, different measures which have been on the calendar and have not been given consideration. There is an understanding that no more time will be assigned by the committee on rules, but the Speaker may recognize mem- bers to call up bills under suspension of the rules. One of the principal measures which is being pushed is the Phillips bill for a commission to investigate the problems of labor, capital and agriculture, and a peti- tion signed by a majority of members of the House asking the Speaker to allow the bill to be called up was presented to- ay. Joint Resolution. The President has approved the joint res- olution to fill vacancies in the board of re- gents of the Smithsonian Institution, and the joint resolution authorizing the Secre- tary of the Navy to deliver unserviceable or condemned cannon to the mayor of Bur- lington, Vt., for use in decorating Battery Park. A Postal Service Deficiency. The Secretary of the Treasury has sent to Congress an estimate of deficiency in appropriations for the postal service, pay- able from the postal revenues, as submitted by the Post Oftice Department, amounting to $20,129. The principal item of the de- ieee is $15,839 on railroad transporta- on. —____+«+____- FOREIGN MEAT TRADE. A Statement in Regard to It by the Secretary of Agriculture. In an authorized statement in regard to the meat trade of the United States with certain foreign countries, Secretary Morton of the Agricultural Department says: “The meat producers of the United States send only the very best grades of live cat- tle and dressed and cured meats to the European markets. American dealers ex- pect to hold those markets ‘against all comers, by offering the very best, most wholesome sand desirable meats, which careful feeding, skilled. slaughtering and scientific preserving can produce. “It is claimed by the United States in- ternational dealers in meats that all the hue and cry against the edibleness of American meats, and all the charges against the sanitary conditions of. Ameri- can live cattle sent abroad, are inspired by the land-owning protectionists of Germany and France. They desire, it fs sald, to make cattle and meat higher in the Ger- man and French markets, by making cattle and beef scarcer. The scarcity is brought about by excluding, for alleged sanitary Teasons, the American cattle and meat products. It is not claimed, however, by protecticnists in Germany, as {t is by pro- tectiorists in the United States, that mak- ing scarcer will make them cheaper. “The herds of cattle and swine, in fact, all the domestic animals of the United States, are in splendid condition. There has not been a case of pleuro-pneumonia in any of the United States or territories dur- ing the last three years. There fs no con- tagious, infectious or communicable dis- ease now prevalent among the domestic animals in any state or territory of the American Union. There has not been, and there will not be, shipped to any European port any animal or the product of any ani- mal which has not been inspected and de- clared healthy, wholesome and edible. The United States ‘will continue to furnish all meatless Europe with the best and cheap- est pork and beef in the world.” —_ —_ Interest Checks Mailed. The United States Treasurer has mailed 1,108 checks in payment of $126,823-interest on the 2 per cent funded loan of 1891. o Prof. Doremus, in his analysis of cham- pagnes, declares G. H. Mumm’s Extra Dry the purest and most wholesome. Its im- portations in 1894 aggregate 80,778 cases, or 44,764 cases more than any other brand. —Advertisement. THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MAROH 1, 1898-TWELVE PAGES. TO OPEN AT BOSTON Schedule for the Washington Nine’s , Games. WESTERN TRIP EARLY IN THE SEASON Opening the Yachting Season at . Cannes. GENERAL SPORTING TOPICS The National League schedule was adopt- ed by the delegates in New York yesterday without discussion, in fact, before they saw it. Washington, contrary to the old-time custom, will not open at home, but at Bos- ten. This is a compiete surprise, for no one suspected such an event. Boston is raising great objections to Washington as an opening card and Wash- ington would rather begin operations with an easier club than Boston. Baltimore will open the season at home, with Philadelphia as her guest. Brooklyn will be in New York, Cleveland at Cincin- nati, Pittsburg at Louisville and Chicago at St. Louts. The season begins on April 18 for all the clubs except Boston and Washington,which de not play until April 19. Another innovation is that the eastern clubs go west on May 6, before all of them have played the other eastern clubs. They will be gone nearly all of May. The west- ern clubs then come east, and the eastern- ers will be in the west again in July. Some astonishment was caused by the fect that Brooklyn is to play at home with Boston on Independence day at the same time Baltimore is in New York. Washing- ton will play that day in Philadelphia. Fred. Pfefier Fined $500. Not until the last minute of a long con-’ ference was it decided to reinstate Fred. Pfoffer, provided he pays a fine of $500 for having taken part in trying to found an op- Position league or association. He will have to play in Louisville this season. When the verdict was announced there Was great indignation among the base ball men in the hotel, who believed that he should be reinstated upon the same terms that Barnie and Buckenberger received. A subscription was at once started to pay Pfeffer’s fine. Great excitement reigned and Fred was surrounded by sympathizing friends and admirers. He himself said that the ignominy of be- ing fined after being suspended was like fining a man after executing him. “I wanted to be reinstated,” said he, “but this kind of a thing would make any sensi- tive man feel like a dog.”” At was expected that Pfeffer would revert to Louisville, but it was thought that Leuisville would sell his release to Chicago. He cannot, though, play this year with any sete national agreement club than Louis- ville. Tim Hurst Turned Down. Tim Hurst will likely not be a league um- pire. No official announcement has been made of the staff, though Mr. Young says he has decided to appoint six out of the seven men. The six are Emslie, Lynch, McQuaid, Eeits, Keefe and McDonald. ‘The wewspeper men signed a request. to- day asking the delegates to give them the reasons for Hurst's removal. They were told that Tim’s pugilistic tendencies did not dignify base ball. Hurst has acted as ref- eree in a number of fistic bouts. Many Deals, A number of deals are on, but hang fire. Philadelphia’s offer to trade Weyhing for Gleason and Cincinnati's to give Chamber- lain to Baitimore for Gleason are neither very well thought of by Mr. Hanlon. He may consider seriously one of the offers if @ cash bonus in imore’s favor is added. There are rumors afloat that beth Boston and Phi ‘2 would like to secure Arthur © rom St. Louis. Irwin and Seelee both say they are not anxious for t John's brother, but Von der Ahe res that both of them have approached him in regard to the man. Buck ing has been after Breitenstein, Weyhing and Turner. The Washington Games. Abroad— At Boston, April 19. At Home— With Boston, April 20, 22, 23.

Mensured Off the Henley Course. Taking advantage of the ice, Courtney, the Cornell University trainer, in company with two surveyers, marked out courses of several kinds on Cayuga Lake near Ith- ica. It was with great pleasure that he discovered the fact-that on the west shore of the lake a straightaway course could be laid out for one mile and 550 yards, the same distance as the Henley regatta course, and near enough to shore so that the vari- ous markings on the perpendicular cliffs could be plainly seen by the coxswains. The following dimensions were marked off: 3u0 feet, 500 feet, G60 feet, 550 yards, 2,000 feet, 3,00) feet, one mile, one mile and 2 quarter, and one mile 550 yards. Courtney, in expressing his views on the course, said: “The coxswains will know where they are now at all times, and the dimensions are marked so plainly that the boats can be timed for any part of the whole course.” To Open Tennis Tournaments. As far as can be learned now, there will be no, open tournaments in Florida this year. The Tampa Bay and Magnolia Springs Tennis clubs have both abandoned their fixtures this spring, and the St. Au- gustine ‘Tennis Club has made no arrange- ments as yet for their usual meeting. The Gates City trophy, representing the tropical championship, was won last year for the third and final timo by Oilie Campbell, and no efforts have been made to secure a new challenge cup for competition. It is still possible that a tournament may be ar- ranged at the last moment, but no date has been applied for, and it ‘would be diffi- cult to get many northern players to enter at this late day. Harry Lillywhite, the groundsman of the Saratoga Athletic Asso- ciation and the Meadow Club of South- ampton, is at St. Augustine again this spring ‘in charge of the courts. Racing at Arlington Ends. The racing at Arlington, Md. came to rather an abrupt close yesterday, the prin- cipal reason being that Alexander Island track reopens and it was not deemed profit- able to continue this meeting with another only forty miles away. Prepnring for the Season. At a meeting of the board of governors of the Columbia Athletic Club last evening L. S. Wells, jr., was designated to have charge of foot ball and bese ball, R. C. Smead to have charge of tennis, E. M. Harmon, fencing; J. H. Hunter,rifle and trap shoot- ing; J. R. Elder, sbapring and wrestling; Charles Baker, bos! T. B. Nolan, gym. Pasium Y. Smith and S. W.

They opened at New Orleans yesterday and beat the ; Crescent City team 13 to 2 The Colts Leave for the South. The Chicago base ball club, with Capt. Anson in charge, left Chicago yesterday for Galveston to’ engage in six weeks’ practice. The men who left were Anson, Daniel, Dahlen, Irwin, Kittridge, Terry, Hutchinson, Stewart, Moran, Donohue and Abbey. With the party were Mrs. Anson, Mrs. Ryan and mother, Mrs. Kittridge, Mrs. Abbey and Mrs. Hutchinson. Lange and Decker have left California, and will meet the club at Galveston. Wilmot, who has been stopping in Arkansas; Griffith, who is at Hot Springs; Everett, who is in Denver; Stratton, who is in Louisville, and Ryan, who has been at the carnival in New Orleans, will join the club either on the route or at Galveston. The Bridegrooms Lenve. The members of the Brooklyn base ball team left for Savannah, Ga., yesterday on the steamer Nacooche. The men will re- main in Savannah until March 20, and will then go to Augusta. During their stay In the south they will play six games with Pittsburg, three of which will take place in Savannah and three in Augusta. They will also play the Washington club a similar number of games, three in Savan- nah and the remaining three in Charleston, 8. C. Will Allow Prize Fights. The Oklahoma house yesterday passed Representative Littles bill for the promo- tion of athletic sports, which allows spar- ring matches and prize fights. The council has been polled and: will also pass the bill. This will open the aexpitory to Corbett and Fitzsimmons and amy;other national cham- Pions without fear pf-interference. — Sparring Matehes Proposed.

You can make the date any time between the next ten and fifteen days.” Davies has postponed the European trip for the present and will attend to arrange- ments looking toward bringing about the matches proposed by Hopkins. Chairman Gideon’s Announcements. Chairman Gideon of the L. A. W. racing board announces that he will appoint no handicappers in any of the districts who are not indorsed by the chief consul of that division. Chairman Gideon also states that he will not apponit W. H. Murphy, who was urged for the position, but that the selection will be a New Yorker. There will be an official referee, so the cl man says. Sanday Base Ball Allowed. The Missouri senate and house have de- feated bills prohibiting Sunday base ball, Sunday theaters and similar amusements. the house bill prohibiting the sale of ciga- rettes to minors was killed by the senate. A bill authorizing poo! selling and book- making on race courses during the race season on either home or foreign events has been passed by the senate. The Next Whist Congress. The next congress of whist clubs will be held at Minneapolis in June, not Indtan- apolis, as was published recently. The cup for which a-number of eastern clubs are contesting was surrendered by the Minneapolis club; that club was not de- feated. YACHT CARNIVAL OPENS. Tbe Britannia Far Ahend in the Race of Her Class. CANNES, March 1.—The Mediterranean yachting carnival opened here this morn- ing with brilliant sunshine, a fine breeze and other perfect yachting attributes. Fashicnable Cannes turned out en masse at an early hour in order to be present at the start of the opening event. At 8:30 there was a blue and unclouded sky, and the sun beamed upon as attractive an as- semblage of people and yachts as has ever been seen in this part of Europe. At 9 o’clock the Prince of Wales’ cutter Britannia, Mr. F. W. L. Popham’s forty- rater Corsair and Count Florio’s Valkyrie I, formerly the property of Lord Dunraven, started in the first event, the prix d’hon- eur. The course for the two large classes of yachts was about fifty miles. At 11 o'clock the Britannia had a long lead. The American Dakotah, belonging to Mr. Henry Allen, made a clever start in the ten-rater class, but she was closely follow- ed by the crack French yacht St. Marcial, the property of Vicompte De Rochereouard. All the yachts in the harbor were dressed with flags and promenadefs mustered in strong force along the sea parade. Both ashore and afloat there was the greatest animation, and it increased as the morn- ing passed, under the influence of a per- fectly glorious day. The Dakotah won in her class, after an exciting race, and the Britannia won in her class by 2% minutes. Valkyrie I would have beaten Britannia on time allowance, but she was badly handled at the finish. The Corsair was disabled. ——— INDIAN SUPPLIES. Retrenchment Both at the Chicago nnd New York Warehouses. ‘The Secretary of the Interior has ap- proved the report of Joseph T. Bender, ap- pointed to prepare a plan for supplying the Indian service during the next fiscal year. Retrenchment both at the Chicago and New York warehouses is recommended. The Chicago warehouse Is to be opened op April 20, and will continue open for a period of not more than eight months. A special agent of the Indian bureau will be detailed to open bids and award con- tracts at Sun Francisco for goods for the Pacitie ceast agencies, medical supplies heretofore purchased for St. Louis delivery will be required to be delivered either in New York or Chicago, and the rate of pay of irspectors of goods and supplies will be reduced from $10 to $8 a day. Advertising Witl be restricted to trade papers, and’ in special cases to papers near agencies, Secretary Smith has urged that the bids be opened at the earliest possible date, and that the purchasing, receiving and shipping of goods be closed within a shorter period of iime than has been done heretofore, in order to keep the expenses of conducting the work within the lowest possible limit. THE CULOMBIAN INSURRECTION. An Engagement is Expected Shortly Near Cucuta. The Secretary of the Navy has received a telegram from Capt. Cromwell, command- ing the Atlanta at Colon, saying briefly that an engagement is expected shortly rear Cucuta, Colombia. The insurrection in the northwestern part of Colombia has been in progress for over a month, and each side has repeatedly cldfmed victories over the other withcut any special results being apparent. Navy officials here do not think that the expected engagement is likely to be very important, although the fact of Capt. Cromwell cabling it seems to indicate that it may be rather more serious than usual. The Atlanta will remain at Colon. — Attorneys Disbarred. John T. Moses of Chillicothe, Mo.; James Rutter of Carlington, Ohio, and George M. Van Leuven of Lime Springs, Iowa, pen- sion attorneys, have been disbarred from practice before the Department of the In- terior, for alleged violations of the pension laws.

Minister Murunga Satisfied That It is About at an End. Spanish Minister Muruaga says that al- though he has recelved no official informa- tion to that effect he is personally satisfied that the trouble in Cuba is about at an end. None of the filibustering parties that were announced as ready to start from Key West, Costa Rica and San Domingo has reached Cuba, and the bands of revo- lutionists in the interior seem to have dis- persed. ‘The Infanta Isabella, warship, which was at Tampa, has been ordered to Key West, and the Nueva Espana has been sent to watch Costa Rica.
