Senor Lazo, the Guatemalan minister, and Senor Calvo, the Costa Rican charge d'affaires, declare that the news of a revo- lution in Salvador in the interest of Gen. Ezeta is entirely false. They thought it very singular that the steamer Saturn, which was the bearer of such important ac- counts, did not communicate them in the Guatemalan or Mexican ports where she touched, and from where they could have been wired to this country, as are many other news items of less importance, but waited until her arrival at San Francisco. Senors Lazo and Calvo say the fabrication of such dispatch is very clear, because they are in frequent communication with the state, although neither ‘of them is a repre- sentative of Salvador. They are sure that they would have received information through their correspondence or otherwise in regard to events of such a grave nature, which, it is said, happened in the early part of February. —_—_-e-.____.

How They Have Changed From Steel Prisons to Models of Ease, Grace and Beauty. ‘The agitation of the question of “Physical Culture and Dress Reform’ has accomplished much good for women. The earliest record of an attempt to support the form was in the classic days of Greece, when @ linen or leather band was worn by the Grecian women to support the bosom. ‘The Corsets of today are no longer lke the steel abominations worn in the Elizabethian era, for they no longer either compress or distort the form. Being interested in Dress Reform, I have inter- viewed the young woman in charge of the Corset Department of Wm. H. McKnew's, 933 Penna. ave., and was surprised to learn that she was equally interested in this most important factor of woman's dress and comfort. She stated: ‘Yes, I have been particularly careful in selecting my stock to choose only those Corsets and Waists constructed upon sefentifie and hygienic principles, such as con- form closely and perfectly to the curves of the figure. For instance, it is an utter impossibility to fit ali forms from any one particular make of Corset, even though I have as many as twenty dif- ferent styles of the same make. Some women have small waists and some large; some require a corset with high bust and some with a low one; some require a strong, stout Corset, while others are best served with a light, ylelding Corset Waist.”” I could but agree with her, and deeply deplore the fact that so few stores give an intelli- gent and painstaking care to their Corset depart- ments. I was shown a number of the latest styles and shapes in Corsets and Waists and was particu- larly struck with the “Cresco,” which Is a new shape gored and laced over the hips, especially de- signed for stout ladies, and those requiring a fre- quent adaptation of size. I was surprised to learn that Mr. McKnew was offering an Imported Paris- made Corset called the “Prima Donna’? at a dollar a palr, as one-fifty has heretofore been the lowest “ and other standard makes. I was also shown a number of “novelty” Corsets !n lavender, pink, lUght blue, black, tan, gray and white. ‘The woman who wishes to secure the highest degree of comfort and service and have her form given an added grace and beauty should be fitted at McKnew’s.

Fifth Annual Championship Games of the Columbia Athletic Club.

A concise and comprehensive report of these games will appear in The Star dur- ing the progress of the tournament. RESULTED IN DRAWS. Two Spirited Glove Contests Beyond the District Line. Two spirited glove contests took placé at Steubner’s road house, near Highlands, Md., last night, under the auspices of the Verona Athletic Club. Mr. Snee of Pitts- burg was the referee and gave general satisfaction. The first bout was between Arthur McKeever of Pittsburg and James McDougal of this city, bantam weights. It was for eight rounds and resulted in a draw, although the Pittsburg lad had a shade the better of the argument. The other contest was between Larry McDonald, white, of Chicopee, Mass., and Jim Jaynie of this city, colored. The men weighed in at 145 pounds and were both in good condition, They were very evenly matched and put up a rattling hammer and tongs fight for fifteen rounds. The white man was the better sparrer, but the colored man was the stronger, and kis blows seemed to do more damage than those of his more scientific antagonist. Each man was knocked down several times during the progress of the engagement, but neither was much hurt. As neither man had any decided advantage at the end of the fifteenth round the referee prop- erly declared the contest a draw. COLLEGIATE FOOT BALL. A Severe Blow to the Game Dealt by’! Harvard's Faculty. The most severe blow that has been struck against the game of foot ball came yesterday in the form of a second vote of the Harvard faculty. This is the official statement of the vote: “The faculty hav- ing received and considered a communica- tion from the committee on the regulation of athletic-sports, dated February 25, 1895, remain of the opinion that no student under their charge should be permitted to take part in intercollegiate foot ball contests.” The communication referred to was a statement prepared by the athletic commit- tee appointed by the college corporation to have supervision in such cases as this. At its former meeting the faculty recom- mended to the athletic committee the aboli- tion of intercollegiate foot ball. The latter replied by suggesting certain modifications of the game instead of its atter abolition. The recommendations proposed that all games be played upon the home grounds of the competitors; that the sale of tickets be limited to graduates and undergraduates for themselves and their guests. Reforms in the rules of play were also proposed. As regards intentional rough play, the advisers expressed their conviction that nearly all the players on college teams desire to play in an honorable way, but that more effective legislation is needed for the detection and summary punishment of the exceptional player of a vicious and un- governable temper, and to this end they recommend an additional umpire and an increase in the powers and responsibilities of all the officials. Another meeting of the faculty will be held August 2, when final and decisive action on the question is an- ticipated. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 20.—Capt. A. H. Brewer of the Harvard foot ball team teday made public an open leter to Har- verd students in relation to the action of Ity at yesterday's meeting. He say: hether last evening’s vote of the faculty is unwise or not is to be seen in future years. Whether they have really acted toward the prosperity of the college remains yet to be proven. For the present at least, the deed is done, and, as we think, perhaps, one of our most manly sports has been torn from us. But are we actually in a position to question the wisdom of this action? Do we, as undergraduates only in this college, consider that we can judge with that judgment that comes from ex- perience? Is it not better to trust to the foresight of our elders in experience at least? Surely they realize the importance of the step they have taken, and are will- ing to accept the result which they must sincerely believe will be only to our ad- vantage. Is it not most disrespecful to the faculty if we tear to pieces their opinions and criticise them piecemeal, we, who are undergraduates, who have scarcely reach- ed our twenties? Let it be for others to criticise. Let it be for those who justly be- lieve themselves capable, but let us at least prove ourselves gentlemen—courteous and manly.’ The action of the faculty is emphatically condemned in student circles, as much be- cause it ignores the authority of the ath- letic committee as because it seems to in- dicate a desire to crush out the sport. It appears to the students in the light of a tody who are, for the most part,unfamiliar with the game, disregarding the recom- mendations of well-versed athletes, who have the interest cf Harvard at heart as deeply as the faculty have. The faculty members are most reticent in speaking about the matter. One mem- bi however, said: ‘In my opinicn the vote merely expresses that the faculty is unchanged in its oppo- sition to the game. I have the idea that if the faculty were to be convinced that other colleges as well as Harvard were to take part in the movement of reform, they would he willing to have the game played on trial another seeson.’ Racing on the Island. The attendance at the Alexander Island track yesterday was the largest of the meeting, and sixteen bookies weighed in. The track was in very good shape, and the racing was interesting, although the win- ners had Jengths to spare. Morris and Bernard, the riders of Halcyon and Tena- cious, respectively, were suspended indefinite- ly because of unsatisfactory work, and Wz Hollar, the owner of Halcyon, was fined $150 for remonstrating with the judges, and rected to take his horses from the track. Five favorites and an outsider, Con Lucy, finished first, and the men of odds conse- quentiy quit’ losers. The winners were: Kazan, 9 to 5; Bronston, 2 to 1; West Side, 7 to 10; Jennie T., 3 to 1; Con Lucy, 15 to 1; and ‘Trinculo, 7 to 10. Ball Games. ‘The Washington base ball nine yesterday at Columbia, S. C., defeated a team com- posed of three members of Boston's team and six Columbia players, 7 to 0. The Bos- ton and Washington regular teams play to- day. Two teams of the Baltimore club played at Macon, and the New Yorks at Jacksonville split up similarly. The New Orizans team trounced Von der Ahe's Browns by § to 7, in a game in which every run was earned.” The Brooklyns again de- feated the Pittsburgs at Savannah, by 7 to 3.

Baltimore City Council Urged to Adopt the Underground System, A committee of tHe ‘city ‘council of Balti- more Hstened Monday to the views of N. 8. Hill, jr., of the electrical subway com- mission in support’.of the’ proposition to make an appropriation of $100,000 to’ con- tinue the work of extending the system of subways for city electric )wires. In the course of his remar§ Mr. "Hill, who is an engineer, said: “The necessity of! placing all overhead lines underground {8 apparent. We have to consider the damage to the property and person of the public) During the years 1893 and 1894 there were thirty-nine fires caused by electric light wires, involving a loss of over $100,000. Notable among these fires was the destruction of the Brush Electri@| power house and the partial destruction of the Baltimore city jail. The papers at in- tervals are full of horrikle particulars of the death or injury of persdns receiving shocks from overhead lines, and only within the last few days has the press commented on such an accident on Eutaw street. “The interference offered to the opera- tions of the fire department is also a strong argument in favor of placing the wires under ground. Chief Ledden in his reports for several years past has referred to this as a growing evil. In his report for 1893 he notes that the water-tower was rendered useless at the fire on Paca, Greene and Lombard streets, which resulted so dis- astrously and caused such damage. “The unsightliness of overhead lines, which detracts from the general appearance of all our main thoroughfares, should also be considered. “The condition of the subsurface work makes it necessary for the city to control the placing of all subways and require at least that they should be laid off systemat- ically and with the least possible waste of room under the surface of our streets. In New York, Philadelphia and London, where this matter was not taken in time, the available area for additions to the gas, sewer, water and conduit systems is so limited that it is impossible to tell how fu- ture demands will be met. The condition in London is so serious that the question of constructing a general subway for the reception of sewer, gas, water and electric subway systems is being agitated. It is well to note here that there are no sewers in Baltimore for house service, and con- sequently, if the city allows private cor- porations to use the available space under our streets, the expense of constructing a sewerage system, which is bound to come in the near future, will be greatly increas- ed.” Se A Knight of Pythias Entertainment. A very enjoyable musical and literary entertainment and hop was given at Odd Fellows’ Hall last evening by the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, of the District of Columbia. The music for the occasion was rendered by the Fourth Artillery Band and the Henderson Drum Corps. Those wh6 contributed to the program were the Stanford Sisters, Miss Nellie Bishop, Sol.

A Bulletin Issued by the Agricultural Department on the Subject. ‘The Agricultural Department has issued a bulletin, compiled by Roy Stone, special agent in charge of road inquiry, contain- ing information concerning the use of wide tires on wagon wheels. Mr. Stone regards it of especial importance in the maintenance of the public highways that the vehicles used on them shall have tires of greater width than are now in general use. Extracts from the state laws re- specting the width of tire to be used on vekicles are given, some of which offer a rebate of a portion of the highway tax on wagons with rims or tires not less than three and three and one-half inches in width. Ohio makes it unlawful to trans- port over macadamized, gravel or stone roads in any vehicle having a tire of less than three inches in width a burden of more than 2,000 pounds. Indiana has a law against hauling on a wet gravel road a load of over 2,000 pounds on a narrow- tired wagon or over 2,500 pounds on a broad-tired wagon. Experiments in Various States. Kentucky makes a distinction in favor of broad-tired wagons im fixing toll rates. The results of experiments with wide tires in various states are also given. From the limestone quarry at Split Rock to the works of the reducing company in Geddes, Onondaga county, New York, is about four and a half miles. Three or four years ago the work of improving this stretch of road was accomplished. Rough quarry re- fuse and, for part of the distance, field stones were used, all hand broken to two and three-inch sizes. This was covered with fine, unsifted quarry chips, and a crown was given to the roadway with an elevation of about six inches in a width of sixteen feet. Wagons with tires of dif- ferent degrees of width, some of them as much as six inches wide, were built for hauling stone over this road. Their con- stant use has produced a smooth, co! pact and regular surface between the quar- ry and the works. of stone, vary- ing from 8,000 to 16,000 pounds, are con- tinually hauled over this road, with no perceptible wear. The cost of hauling has been reduced. Experiments in other states are also referred to and the opinion ex- pressed that wide tires are not only lighter in their draft than narrower ones under nearly all conditions, but they cut up roads very little; in fact, when six inches wide, tend to make the road better continually. In Foreign Countrics. The bulletin concludes by printing ex- tracts from the consular reports concerning the width of tires prescribed in various foreign countries. In France every freight- ing and market cart is said to be a road maker. Their tires are from three to ten inches in width, usually from four to six. The German law of April 16, 1840, pre- scribes that wagons for heavy loads, such as coal, brick, earth and stone, must have a width of tire at least four inches. Swit- zerland requires wagons to be provided with wheels having tires of a width pro- portioral to the largest loads admissible. ——— GRACE OF GIVING. Praises, of Charity as Told by Ep- worth Leaguers. “The Grace of Giving” was the subject of the evening at the regular monthly mass meeting of the Washington District Epworth League held Monday, at 7:30 p.m. Monday evening, after the throngs that filled every available space of McKendree Church had been told to “Get and Gain” by Mr. G. W. F. Swartzell, president of the Methodist Union; “Gain and Give,” by Pro?. E. W. Williams, formerly treasurer of Ham- line Chapter, and “Give and Grow,” by Rev. C. L. Pate, pastor of North Capitol M. E. Church, the league proceeded to form a tithing band to promote among the mem- bers liberal and systematic Christian giv- ing. A goodly number subscribed to the pledge “Of all that Thou shalt give me, I will surely give the tenth unto Thee.” It is expected that many more will join the band in 1895. The District treasurer, Mrs. A. R. Winner, has charge of the finance work. President Wm. Burdette Mathews pre- sided at the meeting and Mrs. J. R. Mickle, the fourth vice president, led the singing. Rev. F. G. Coxson of Philadelphia, chair- man of the ways and means committee for the entertainment of delegates to the great convention to be held in that city next May, occupled a seat on, the platform. When introduced he was enthusiastically applauded and greeted by the waving of handkerchiefs from all parts of the uudi- torium. In a most pleasing manner he told of the vast preparations that were being made for the delegates, and especially for those from Washington. As a convention motto he suggested “Save up and come up.” Miss Moore rendered a beautiful con- tralto solo. A most. delightful feature of the evening was the cordial welcome home extended the pastors by the young people. Nearly every Methodist pastor in the city was present, and at the close of the service all the leaguers greeted their pastors with a hearty handshake and promises of church loyalty during the coming year. Presiding Elder L. B. Wiisdn, D.D., headed the re- ceiving party in the church parlors, and with him were Revs. A. Brown, C. W. Baldwin, C. O. Cool . M. Moore, L. T. Widerman, J. H. Lemon, Jas.

No Reply to Protests Received From France and a Agricultural’ Department officials say that they have no recent information con- cerning the protests made by the govern- ment against the restrictions imposed by Germany, France and other countries against the importation of cattle from the United States into their boundaries. The matter, they say, it still in its diplomatic stage, and its adjustment rests with the State Department. Ambassadors Eustis and Runyon have presented to the gov- ernments of France and Germany the pro- test of this government against the un- just discriminations made by them. No surprise is felt at the tardiness of the governments of Germany and France in responding to the representations of the ambassadors, as the fact is recalled that during the last administration, when a somewhat similar condition of affairs ex- isted, it required repeated reminders by this government, and the lapse of a period of five or six months before matters were brought to a settlement. Good Care in Transportation. Secretary Morton and Dr. Salmon, the chief of the bureau of animal industry, recently visited the wharves at Baltimore of the Johnson line of steamships, which carry cattle from the United States to European ports. They found, upon per- sonal nspection, that the accommodations for cattle were entirely satisfactory, and that the care given animals in transit is good. In the face of these facts, the Se2- retary says, it will be difficult for Ger- many and France to make it appear that any diseased cattle have been shipped from the United States during the year 1894. The fact, he added, is that it has been absolutely impossible, under the pres- ent rigid system of inspection, to ship any diseased cattle. Thomas E. Watson has been rominated for Congress by the populists of the tenth Georgia district.
