To the Editor of The Evening Star: Much as has been written and published concerning the condition of affairs in Alex- andria county, few of your readers can comprehend the gravity, the far-reaching importance, of the issues involved in the proceedings which have been instituted by Messrs. Frank Hume and Douglass for the purpose of maintaining the purity of elections in our county. A large amount of testimony has already been taken, which fully establishes numer- ous specific and wanton violations of law; yet Outside of these facts of testimony are certain other leading, pregnant facts, known to every intelligent citizen of our country; facts, unfortunately, only too fa- miliar and incontrovertible. It is unhappily true that the intelli- gent, industrious and taxpaying classes of our citizens ‘are considerably outnumber- ed by a mass of ignorant, non-producing, non-taxpaying ,popylation, from which come a large number of our voters. Hith- erto, with this enormbus evil to face and grapple with, ‘the péople of the county have yet been able to secure a reasonably good government. But new dangers con- front us. Recently, owing to the presence of two race tracks Mm our county, there has been brought into our midst a swarm of vicious, law-breaking, alien population— vomited upon us—not resident in any true sense—which absolutely, without exagger- ation of statement, threatens our civiliza- tion. Fortunately this pernicious element has, can have, little, if any, fixity of abode. Could its incorporation into our body politic become assured through any fiction or mi carriage of law we should have scant pro- tection for life and property, the burdens of taxation would become intolerable, and the public money would be given over to waste and plunder. In a word, the very ends of government would be subverted or defeated. Against such possibilities the better classes feel they are shielded, at this juncture, by the protecting arm of the judiciary of our county. In Judge Chi- chester we have the best type of a judicial officer. Fearless, acute and incorruptible, our people have no anxieties as to the is- sue of the proceedings pending before him. It is safe to say that the violators of law will find that for them the quantity of his mercy will not be strained. ALEXANDRIA COUNTY. Shall FEW ODDS OFFERED Even Money the Rule on Today’ Boat Race. CORNELL 18 STILL THE FAVORITE The Crews at Poughkeepsie Stretch Their Muscles. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 24.—The weather conditions today are all that the | most fastidious of oarsmen could desire, and the Columbia, Cornell and University of Pennsylvania crews who are to row in the postponed tri-college race at 4:30 this afternoon are consequently in high spirits. The river is as placid as a pond, and the wind is in the northwest. A change to a southerly or southwesterly wind, blowing against the ebb tide, might make rough water, but there is little probability of such a radical shift of the wind. The ebb tide ccmmences at 2 p.m., and boatmen say at 4:30, the time set for the race, -it will be materially faster than at the same time on Friday. The Cornell men were first up this morn- ing, rising at 6:45, and after a hearty break- fast lounged about the broad piazzas and in hammocks until 9, when Capt. Troy took the crew out in the shell for fifteen min- utes to pull just a muscle lubricator. The Quakers slept until S o'clock, when they breakfasted and then went down to the boat house to give their shell a final test. The oar locks, which were wrenchéed somewhat out of position by the accident of Friday, have been righted, and the shell is now all ready for the contest. E. J. Kearns of Worcester, who has -been here plac his patent oar locks and equip- ments on the Pennsylvania shell, says that the patches which have been put on the boat will retard its speed four lengths in the four miles. This statement is pooh- poohed by both the Cornell and Columbia crews, who look upon it as an excuse for the Quakers in case they don’t win. Columbia crew slept late. Between 10 and 11 a.m. they took a short row, mere- ly to limber up. The menus of all the crews call for a hearty meal at noon, after which the men will go to bed to sleep until the time to report to the referee at the start. All the crews will row with the same per3onnel as announced on Friday. Cornell is still the favorite for first place, though the backers of the carnelian and white are not giving the heavy odds quoted last week. Even money is the rule, with an occasional bet of 2 to 1 on the Ithac against either of the cther crews. Yesterday Hamilton Fish of Columbia sent a note to Capt. Bull of Pennsylvania apologizing for having said when it was announced on Friday that the Quakers’ shell had been wrecked that he believed it was a put-up job. Today Mr. Fish receiv- ed the followin nete from Capt. Bull, dated Sunday ly Dear Fish: We understand that your remarks were made in the heat of excite- ment. Your apology is accepted and we will try to do you tomorrew. Yours, “A. E. BULL.” Dr. Brooks will be unable to referee to- day’s race on account of an important business engagement elsewhere, and Rob- ert B. Perkins, Harvard, 'S4, will take his place. : : The police arrangements today will be more stringent even than on Friday. Only the referee's yacht, the police beat Willa- walla and the press boat Queen City will be allowed on the course, and the crews will not leave their boat houses until every vessel has come to anchor. The revenue cutter Manhattan is here to enforce the police regulations. INTERNATIONAL T NIS. Pim and Mahony to Be Pitted Against Hobart and Harvey. Dr. Joshua Pim, champion tennis player of England and Ireland, accompanied by H. S. Mahony, arrived at Boston Saturday from New York, where they landed from the Campania the night before. They re- ported for play this morning in the Neigh- borhood Club's invitation tennis tourna- ment. Pim is regarded by many as the greatest tennis player in the world. Maho- ny is also an expert, but there are many Americans who ere anxious to try results with him, Pim confirms the news that he intends to retire from tennis after this season. The tournament which opened today in Boston has arou:ed the greatest enthusiasm among tennis players throughout the east, and all Boston seems crezy over the game. Big stands have ‘been erected around the courts on which the matches are to be play- ed, and about 18,000 people are expected to visit the courts during the week. y tennis cranks left while a car load will be contr Toronto. Dr. Dwight will probably referee most ox the matches, and experienced play- ers will be secured to act as linesmen. Three matches a dey will be played, ex- cept on Friday, when four are scheduled, each of the visitcrs appearing twice that day. One match will be, played in the morning and two each afternoon, but on Friday there will be a double event in the morning alsv. The feature of Thursday's play will be a match betweeh Great Bri- tain and America in doubles, Hobart and Harvey, the American champions, being pitted against the visitors. Yesterday’s League Games.

This afternoon the Baltimores will maxe their first appearance of the seas in Washington. The team came over this morning and may return tonight. Clark- son and Maul or Stocksdale are announced to do the pitching. ‘The Baltimores have made an addition to their pitching corps in Arlington Pond of the University of Vermont, who has been a terror among college players. With him in the bux the Vermonters won games from Harvard, Yale, Brown and the Holy Cross team: His deceptive curves fooled the best of them, and he has quite a num- ber of strike-outs to his credit. Pond is a ht-hand pitcher, about twenty-two years y build. He fields his position well, and is also something of a hitter. He was recommendel to Manager Hanlon by a friend of the Baltimore club. Pond will report about July 1. Catcher Merritt has been purchased from Cincinnati py Pittsburg. Catcher Kinslow has practically deserted the Pittsburgs, and has been suspended without pay and fined $150 by Manager Mack. Umpire Long, cne of the conspirators against the Washingtons, has_ resigned, and will be the manager of the Bangor (Me.) club, Said President Freedman of the New York club yesterday: “It is a wonder to me the boys have done so well with Doyle, Davis, Rusie and Meekin out of the game. I shail not be surprised if we had to put in German on Monday and Clarke again on Tuesday. Meekin may be ready to go in one of the games, but I doubt it. “Doyle will be able to go in at Baltimore. It will be fully be able to play. “Rusie may be ready by the middle of the week and should surely be ready for work in Baltimore. “I have been surprised at the attendance at our games. We have done twice the business in New York this year that we did last year up to this period. We are not so far behind that we cannot hustle any club for the flag. Stafford is doing superbly for us, and there is no question about his sta ing where he is throughout the season. Sunday base ball in Toledo has been stopped for the remainder of the season. Umpires are treated much better in the Eastern League than they are in the Na- tional. Their decisions are respected. Peo- ple in tae large cities have become dis- gusted with the constant fault-finding of some base ball writers, managers and play- ers. It is the great d’awback to the sport. Capt. Robinson of the Baltimores has an- nounced to Manager Hanlon that MeMahon showed excellent eed and curves in prac- tice on Saturday, and has ziven it as his cpinicn that the great pitcher is in shape to resume his work in the box. If the good form MeMahon is said to have shown Si continues he may either go inst New Yors or face Washington in Baltimore next Saturday. ten days before Davis will ° “Bob” Emslie, the imore pitcher, had an Sun, timore. His decisi quently by each club, and the spectators, among whom were a number of Washing- ton rooters, shared in the general com- plaining. In the last two games McGraw’s tongue cost him just $50. He should learn to curb the member. ‘There were two games played erd Chicago beat Cleveland in the windy city while the Browns took a game from the Cincinnatis in St. Lou By losing this game the Reds drop bei New York, the Giants taking seventh piace. President Von der Ahe and Manager Buckenburger were closeted together in St. Louis Saturday evering, when Mr. Von der Ahe told “Buck” that unless the team howed improvement immediately he would have to ask for the manager's resignation. “Why not take it now?” queried the » ager. Von der Ahe cooled down, however, and when the two parted for the night everything was apparently serene. Yester- Cay morning “Buck” was called into the meeting by President Von ‘Jer Ahe and asked if he meant what he said last night. “I did,” said Buckenburger. “Very well,” rejoined Chris, “you may resign now.” This the manager id. It is the understanding in Pittsburg that Buckenburger will be signed to manage the New York club. The report that he will boss the Giants comes from first-class au- thority. ‘The Chicagos were all arrested at the end of the third inning of yesterday’s game, but immediately gave bonds in the sum of $100 each to appear for trial July 2, on the charge of “breaking the Sabbath.” The attendance Ss 14,200. The Browns celebrated Buckenburger’s resignation yesterday by winning from the Reds their first victory in a long time. The attendance was 12,000. Maneger Barnie of Scranton has been informed by President Young that Scranton need not fear snap judgment in the Meany © From the papers before him, Mr. Young says Meany apparently belongs to ranton. The Bangor, Me., papers have printed stories to the effect that Meany is to be blacklisted because he accepted trans- portation from Bangor, as well as advance money, and then signed with Scranton, re- turning the advance money, but not the transportation. As a matter of fact Ban- gor made itself liable to expulsion by tam- pering with Meany and sending him ad- vance money and a ticket while Meany was still legally bound to Havrisburg. SANGER TO BE SUSPENDED. Chairman Gideon Will Investigate His Amateur Status. Walter C. Sanger, the fast bicycle rider and member of the Spalding team, will be suspended today by Chairman George D. Gideon of the L, A. W. racing board, pend- ing an investigation into his amateur status. With Sanger there is every possibility that another member of the same team will be notified that he too must show cause why he should not be declared a profes- sional rider. The charge against Sanger is that of selling his prizes won at different race meets, and particularly a diamond wolt last September at Springfield. He is also charged with having received a check in- stead of a prize at the Boston Press Club's meet last week at Waltham. This latter charge is also made against Titus, and it is rumored that Harry Tyler is also in- cluded in the last charge. Sanger, when told that he would probably be suspended, seemed shocked. He said: ‘ate seems to be against me in a match race, Just as the one was made with Johnson he was declared a professional, and now that I have the race on with Mur- phy next Saturday this comes to me. I deny the charges. They are not true,” he said. “I have not sold my prizes; neither did I receive a check instead of prizes at Waltham; but I will say this, that if I am suspended by Mr. Gideon I will not stand it for three seconds. I will jump so quick that it will make your head swim, if for no other reason than to pre- vent Gideon from doing anything. A Great Turfman’s Death. James G. King Lawrence, the greatest handicapper and manager of turf events which this country has ever known, and the president of the Coney Island Jockey Club, died Saturday afternoon at Sanford Hall, Flushing, L. I. Pneumonia, which developed only three days ago, was the cause of death. Sanford Hall is a private institution conducted by Dr. Barstow for the treatment of mental diseases, and Mr. Lawrence had been there for some weeks suffering from what his friends called melancholia. Amateur Buse Ball. The Trilby base ball team was defeated yesterday in a hotly contested game by the Census nine at Silver Springs bya score of 12 to 11. The Census team is open to,play teams in the District under seventeen years. Address J. L. Butler, Harrison Flats. The Young Radfords yesterday defeated the Cairo base ball team by 20 to 5. Quinn May Become Manager. ST. LOUIS, June 24.—Joe Quinn will prob- ably succeed A. C. Buckenburger as man- ager of the Browns, the position having been offered to him. Movement for Plnyer-Managers. The announcement that Quinn of the St. Louis Browns: is to be made manager- captain shows the tendency of the times— to put nines in charge of playing managers. While the experiment has not always proved successful, there is nothing to in- dicate that a non-playing manager would have succeeded when the playing manager failed. The Clevelands, Pittsburgs, New Yorks and Chicagos have playing’ man- agers. Ewing is virtually manager of the Cincinnatis, as Nash is of the Bostons, Bancroft and Selee being figure heads. Foutz’s days as manager of Brooklyn are numbered and Capt. Griffin will succeed him. This leaves Baitimcre, Philadelphia, Washington and Louisville with non-play- ing managers. Baltimore's success has been due more to Capt. Robinson than Marager Hanlon, is the belief of many.

HONORS OF ‘THE CAMP What Critics Say of the Work of the Na- tional Guard. Praise Awarded for Various Kinds of Duty—Maj. Efficiency ip Revell’s Battalion. Now that the 1895 encampment of the District National Guard is a thing cf the past a summing up bf the work done and the reputations achieved by the various organizations participating in the camp auties will probably be looked for. Official reports will be slow in making their appear- ance, even in offictal circles, and many of them will never reach the public eye. The officers who have had immediate super- vision over the varions lines of military , endeavor have, however, said sufficient about the relative qualities of the various battalions to render possible a compara- tive statement which will doubtless be of interest to National Guardsmen and to citi- zens Who are interested in the brigade. Taking into consideration all those essen- tials which contribute to the making of soldierly reputation—-mainly discipline, at- tendance and cleanliness of camp and equipments—the honors are awarded by the observant experts who we present in the camp to the first separate battalion. From start to finisi Maj. Revells’ command has been easily at the head of the column, and this by a consensus of opinion that will not admit of controversy. At the other end of the column is the third battalion, but for that fact there are re: nably good excuses to be offered. rd battalion is com- posed mainly of youngsters who can hard- ly be said to have reached years of dis- cretion, and practically all of them were, prior to the present encampment, strangers to the discipline which had to be in a brig- ade camp in which business was attended to. Companies A and B of the battalion did in many respecis remarkably well, but vrecked completely what might been a decent average. Any observer of National Guard events need not be a Prophet to imagine that changes of con- siderable importance are likely to take place in the third ba‘talion within the next thirty days. Credit will have to be given the third battalion, however, for having the largest attendance; a considera considerable importanse, and one ; counterbalances some of the disciplinary Weakness, which caused son of the re- sponsible officers of the brigade a great deal of concern. Smallest in point of at- tendance was the second battalion. Battalion Drill. Superiority in the matter of battalion drill has been awarded without difficulty to the first vattalion, weak in peint of num- bers even at the best of times, but doing so exceedingly well as to secure a clear lead, much to the gratification of Maj. B. R. Ross, the battalion ccmmander. Superiority in the extremely important matter of guard duty goes to the fourth battalion, the best guard mount and the most satisfactory guard duty in camp hay- ing been put up by company A of the fourth, Capt. Harry Walsh. The instruct- ing efficers are unanimous in declaring that a company of well-trained regulars would not have done any better. The second bat- talion, Maj. R. A. O'Brien, is a close sec- ond, Sunday's guard mount and the ex- tremely heavy duty consequent upon the presence of a great crowd having been per- formed very satisfactorily. The worst tour of guard duty is, unfortunately and unfair- ly perbaps, credited to com] y A of the first battalion, but for that black mark company A’s responsibility only extends to its failure to have a sufficient number of men in camp to do the duty assigned it. Had company A been able to present men enough for duty there would have been no necessity for detailing men from other battalions of the same regiment; men who unquestionably were incompetent. More Honors for the First Battalion. The best record in the aiming, sighting and position drills—so far as numbers are concerned—goes to the holder of the big bouquet—the first separate battalion, while second honors in these same drills belong to the sixth battalion, and, of course, to Maj. George Bartlett. But while there have been marked differences between the various commaais cn various lines, it is insisted by those officers whose experience enables them to make comparisons that even the weakest battalions in is95 have been far above the average of ISS9 and 1sw—the two prior years when encamp- ments were held. Measured as a whole, the brigade is vastly more efficient now than it gave evidence of being five or six years ago. lf provision is made by Congress for an annual encampment the advance will continue at an increased rate of speed, say the officers who hold responsible positions, 4atil there will be only little leit to be de- sired. Closing Dress Parade. The District National Guard reached Washington, after its ten days’ outing at Fort Washington, shortly before 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon and proceeded to the White Lot, where the cereniony of dress parade, followed by trooping the colors,was executed for the benefit of a large number of interested spectators. The troops were then dismissed, and the soldier lads lost no time in getting to the armory and exchang- ing the dustyuniforms for civilian attire.The guardsmen were sunbrowned and presented the appearance of warriors returning from a campaign. Everybody was good-natured, however, and the unanimous opinion is that the encampment resulted in unspeakable benefit to the brigade. 7 —- + Eckiagton Rapid Trausit. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Mr. Schoepf speaks of inconvenience to citizens, and “depression in the values of their homes.” The only “depression in values” in our section has been the direct result of diminished means of transit, since the companies. which he represents bought the road. We used to have a line running every six minutes, with only one transfer, and it took us eighteen minutes to get to 15th street. Now we have a line, with cars at intervals of eighteen to twenty-five minutés—except in storms, when we have no cars for days—three transfers, and an hour to get to 15th street. ‘The damage to those who wish to rent rooms or houses or to sell houses has been incalculable. A lady told me last week that-she should sell her house at a sacrifice, for no other reason than that her health was injured by the long unsheltered waits for three differ- ent cars to go to her business. There is probably “a disposition to crush the read,” on the part of re: dents, if not of Commissioners; and any “ruin which gives us a transit instead of @ transfer company will be welcome; and even the abandonment of this company’s line with the hope of another would appre- ciate values in the sections which it has so long outraged. I think a force of men could be easily secured, without wages, to remove the wires, the poles, and if need be, the cobble stones. NORTH CAPITOL. —— Perseverance Lodge. The popularity of Perseverance Lodge of Good Templars was attested in a marked @egree by the very large attendance of members and visiting templars at the meet- ing on last Saturday, when, despite the high temperature, the spacious hall was filled, and the attractiveness of the proceedings was proven by the fact that the attendance remained until the late hour when the lodge adjourned. During the business ses- sion Chief Templar McCollan presided, and various reports were received and dis- posed of. The social exercises of the lodge are during the term in charge of the young ladies pf the lodge, who have the benefit of the extensive experience of Mrs. N. J. Frear, who is chairman of this company of fair and energetic workers. The pro- gram of exercises last Saturday evening had been arranged by and was executed under the direction of Mrs. Ella Kalstrom, and consisted of instrumental duet, Prof. ‘A. L. Ogle and Miss Edith Bond; recitation, Miss Lollie B. Ray; vocal solo, Miss Lula Pistoria; selected reading, N. E. Vowles; vocal solo, Miss Lollie Ray; address, Mrs. E. A. Chambers; piano solo, Miss Lula Pistoria; recitation, Prof. Ogle; vocal solo, Mr. J. M. McAvoy; reading, Mrs. M, J. Frear; chorus by the lodge choir. The younger members of this, in connection with the young members of the other lodges in district No. 3, are about to form a school of instruction, under the patron- age of the District Lodge.
