Late News From Down the River—The Mayor’s Narrow Escape—Another | Attempted Robbery. Yesterday was a typical spring Sunday, and from early morn until late at night the streets were thronged with people, many of whom were strangers who had .ceme from Washington sightseeing. Every boat that came in added to the crowd, and the many-hued spring gowns and bonnets added beauty to the throng. During the af- ternoon the electric cars running out or town were packed to their fullest extent with those seeking a breath of fresh country air. The congregations in the various churches were very large, and the resident pastors officiated. It St. Paul’s Church the beauti- ful musical program sung on Easter Sun- day was repeated. During the day several “cut-of-door” prayer meetings were con- ducted by Free Methodists, and large crowds were attracted. At the Railroad Missiop Mr. W. D. Buckner of the theo- lcgical seminary delivered an interesting address. The Railrond Mission. About five years ago two young students from the Virginia Theological Seminary organized a reading room for railroad men near the old round house, and fitted it up by the aid of the good church people of the town with books, magazines and the daily papers. Bath rooms and sleeping apart- ments were put in for the accommodation of the men who came into the city on the trains and had no homes here. A religious service was held each Sunday afternoon, at whith some ten or twelve came to worship. Today that mission has grown to such an extent that the building will not accommo- date those who come to hear the Gospel. At each service many are turned away, as even standing room cannot be furnished. There are now two services each week, Sunday afternoon and Tuesday night. A brotherhood for religious work, which now numbers twenty-five young men, has been organized, and they are doing a good work. ‘The young men who are now in charge, Mr. Ned Gamble and Mr. W. D. Buckner, have arranged for the building of a chapel to accommodate 350 people, and this will be completed and ready for occupancy by the middle of May. It is hoped by those in charge that the friends of the mission will take the matter up now and see that the chapel is prettily furnished, as it is entirely free, no collections being taken up at any of the services. The railroad company makes a generous contribution through Superintendent Thompson each month. Narrow Escape. "As an evidence of the loose manner in which the members of the chain gang are hendled, the mayor came very near being knocked down and badly hurt on Saturday afternoon. It seems that a tramp named Murtaugh, who was arrested in the raid on Shuler’s barn on Friday night last, asked permission from the captain of the chain gang to call on Mayor Strauss and ask him for a razor which had been taken from him when he was locked up. Against the rules, it is said, the permission was given, and Murtaugh proceeded alone and without guard to the business house of the mayor, wWhera he, in a not very compli- mentary manner, demanded his razor of the mayor, and, on being refused, became very abusive, whereupon the mayor sent fer an officer, and had Murtaugh locked up in the station house. Just as Murtaugh was being put in a cell he made a des- perate lunge at Mayor Strauss, and but for Officer Griffin knocking him down with a club, the mayor would have been badly used. Police Court. There were five cases disposed of in the police court this morning by Mayor Strauss. Ben Hamilton, charged with defacing the property of Henry Arnold, fined ; Chas. Davis, charged with the same offense, fined $2.50; George Nickens and Robert Atkins, charged with the same offense, were dis- missed; Nathan Harrison, charged with e1- tering the lunch room of Mr. J. N. Gibbs, will be turned over to the F x county authorities. Harrison admits committing the theft, and implicates another negro. Another Hold-Up. While two young men named Kimball and Pitcher were returning to this city from the Driving Park about 8 o'clock they were assaulted and knocked down by five burly negro men. Kimball was knocked unconscious, while Pitcher drew a knife and kept the men off. The matter was re- ported to the police, who are now on the track of the men. Notes. Miss Maggie Moore of Fairfax, who has been visiting friends in this city, returned to her home this afternoon. Miss Tyler of ‘The Trap,” Fauquier county, has returned to her home, after a visit of six weeks to Miss Sallie V. Dain- Berfield. Mrs. B. E. L.Tremaine, who had an op- eration performed orf her for peritonitis on Saturday afterncon, is improving. The work at the glass works is now in full blast, and the orders are far in excess of the supply.

The League of American Wheelmen has received the following communication from Secretary Henry Sturmly of the Interna- tional Cyclists’ Union: “I have pleasure in informing you that it now has been defin- itoly decided that the world’s championship for 1895, which, as you are well aware will take place at Cologne, under the auspices of the Deutsches Radfahrer Bund (German Cyclists’ Union); will take place on August 17, 18 and 19. There will thus be three con- secutive days of racing, which will not ne- cessitate the lengthy period of residence which occasioned so large a proportion of the expense at Antwerp last year.” The League of American Wheeimen may decide to send a team to Germany to repre- sent America in the championships this year. Feature of the Newmarket Meeting. LONDON, April 22.—In an article review- ing the Newmarket race meeting,the Times this morning says that the most salient feature was the appearance of American horses. Those who remembered the per- formances of Parole, Iroquois, Foxhall and Bluegrass would not have been tempted to hold them too cheaply. The presence of the American horses should serve to heighten interest in the season’s racing. The Sportsman says that Messrs. Croker and Dwyer have accepted an invitation to run horses at the Whitsuntide meeting at Baldoyle, near Dublin. Jockey Sims and Trainer Campbell will accompany them. At the Fountain Ferry Track. Fountain Ferry track, at Louisville, is now thronged with racing men, there being seventeen “cracker jacks” in all now train- ing on the track. Harry Tyler of Spring- field, Mass. and his trainer, “Mother” Webb, arrived Wednesday, and Mike J. Dirnberger, at the head of the Syracuse team, got in Saturday morning. The men will take their preliminary work prepar: tory to the opening of the season on May 30. There were 4,000 people at the park yesterday, 1,200 of them being on wheels.

It is expected that the Defender will be launched at the Herreshoff’s yard at Bris- tol, R. I, about the middle of May. It will be at least a month tater before every- thing is In working order, but by July 1 it is thought the new boat will be ready to race. There has been much speculation where the Defender will make her first public ap- pearance. The Larchmont Yacht Club has invited the syndicate to enter the boat in its regatta July 4, and it was said yester- day that Mr. Iselin would accept on condi- tion the club guarantee a course with twenty feet of water. This the Larch- monts will do, so it fs likely the Defender will show her speed on that day, when she will meet the ex-cup defender Vigilant. Some Fast Riding. C. R. Hazell, the Anacostia wheelman, has been doing some good road riding re- cently. Last week he made the round trip to Chapel Point, estimated at 85 miles, in 6 hours, 35 minutes. He also claims to have made the trip to Baltimore in 6 hours, 15 minutes. ee Change of Troops. Secretary Lamont hag ordered four troops of the first cavalry, selected by the regi- mental commander, and accompanied by Col. Arnold and Maj. Viele, now at Fort Grant, A. T., to exchange places with the four troops of the seventh cavalry, ac- companied by Col. Sumner and Maj. Bald- win, now stationed at Fort Riley, Kan. The charge Is to be effected as soon as possible. The reason assigned 1s to give the first cavalry a chance to avail itself of the advantages of the cavalry school at Fort Riley. Lieut. Col. Carpenter of the seventh will remain at Fort Riley as cay- alry instructor. HILL ON THE MONROE DCCTRINE. Cannot Be Formalated in a Treaty, but Its Moral Force is Great. An interview with Senator Hill on the Venezuelan question was given out at Al- bany last night. Senator Hill was asked whether experts in.public law think the Monroe doctrine has given to the United States a special right not given by the general law to intervene between Great Britain and Venezuela in the pending boundary dispute, or assume a protectorate over Spanish-America? He answered that he had never thought so. “But does not the Monroe doctrine de- clare that the United States cannot permit any Spanish-American republic on this con- tinent to be oppressed or its destiny con- trolled by a European state?” “That would not have referred,” the Sen- ator said, “to a legitimate dispute, such as we or any other government might have tomorrow with a Spanish-American stdte. It protested against using such a contro- versy with an intention to increase Eyrope- an political dominion on this ‘hemisphere or control the destiny of an American state or transfer a colony, like Cuba, to a new European owner, but did not change what was then the law of nations.” “Was not the Monroe declaration to Con- gress a national pledge, a guarantee of our intervention—forcible, if need be—in behalf of each Spanish-American republic when- ever, in our opinion, oppressed by a Europe- an state?” : “I think not. Not otherwise, than if Chile shall oppress Perusor Mexico shall be unreasonable in dealing with Guatemala. Congress has never affirmed the Monroe doctrine. In 1868 President Johnson projected a treaty with Colombia, which was signed, embodying the Monroe doctrine, but neither the Colombian senate nor our own Senate ratified it. “You remember that when, two years after President Monroe made his declara- tion, a congress was convened by Bolivia at Panama for the consideration and dis- cussion of an American alliance to enforce the declaration, there was a substantial concurrence of opinion between President John Quincy Adams, who had formulated the Monroe doctrine, and the nfembers of the Senate and House, especially the demo- crats, including Senator Van Buren of New York, participating in a long debate that the declaration did not pledge the United States to forever thereafter prevent a European power from interfering with the independence or form of government of a Central American state.” “So you think that President Monroe has the reputation of having given his name to a rule of conduct by the United States for which neither he nor Mr. Adems con- tended?” “Precisely that,” the Senator answered. “The ‘doctrine’ cannot be formulated in a treaty or a statute, but its moral influence has been, is, and ought to be very great. Discrimination should, however, he made between legitimate disputes and illegit!- mate purposes behind the disputes, such as imposing by force European political con- trol over the destiny of a reluctant in- dependent Spanish-American state.” e+ GAMBLING IN VIRGINIA, Many Ministers Make the Vice a Sub- ject of Strong Sermons. . The evils of gambling were made the sub- ject of sermons in many Washington pul- pits yesterday, and the open, flagrant man- ner in which the practice is followed across the river in Virginia was the theme upon which the ministers based powerful argu- ments. Among those who impressed upon their congregations the enormity of the vice and the necessity for all good people to join in a crusade which should lead to its extermination from the vicinity of Washington were: Rev. Hez Swem, Rev. T. 38 halmers Easton, Eastern Presbyterian; O. Eldridge, Waugh Methodist scopal; Rev. C H. Butler, Keller Memorial; Re Power, Vermont Avenue Christian; Rev. Alexander Kent, Rev.
