The Brave Course Which the Nation Took in Meeting Demands. From Seritmer's Maguzine. No nation ever tock a braver course than did the United States In deliberately begin- ning the reduction of that enormous war debt. The will to reduce it opened the way, and the payment went on by leaps and bounds. The policy was to call in high-rate bonds as soon as callable, and replace them by others bearing lower rates. So immense _was the government’s income that to have set so late a date as 1891 for the time when the 41s could be canceled proved unfortu- nate. To-flx for the maturity of the 4s so remote a date as 1907 was worse still. The 3 per cents of 1882, which supplanted earlier issues, were wisely made payable at the government's option. For the twen- ty-three years beginning with August, 1865, the reduction proceeded at an average rate of a little under $63,000,000 yearly, which would be $5,250,000 each month, $175,000 each day, $7,291 each hour and $121 each minute. o.—_____ Not Trees Enough.

CRAFTY ANSON WORKS AN OLD TRICK Demand for Gaffney, Lynch and Hurst. GENERAL BASE BALL NOTES During the past week the local patrons have threatened more than once to hold an indignation meeting to denounce “Uncle Nick” Young for arranging a playing sched- ule which enables the Washington team to remain in Cincinnati almost the entire week. The promoters of the intended meet- ing were only restrained frem carrying out their plans when it was explained to them that the break in the schedule, so far as Washington is concerned, is well under- stood and approved in league circles. Upon investigation at league headquar- ters it was ascertained that during the last western trip of ¢he Washingtons two games with Pittsburg were advanced and one with Cincinnati. In view of the small attend- arce at the Louisville Park the Washington club was not anxious to play off the two games scheduled for last Sunday, and as a business proposition those two games will be played off in Washington when the Loulsvilles come here for their last eastern trip. Thus, it appears that it is simply 2 case of dollars and cents that has induced the Senators to remain off duty several days this week. The remarkable burst of speed recently displayed by the Louisvilles also helped to check the indignation of the local “rooters” who were clamoring for the Senators to “play ball. Earl Wagner says that he will buy first- class players, regardless of the price put upon them, but he Is not selling any of his men this season. He understands that a club able to stand up in the first division is worth $50,000 a year in Washington, and his aim Is to get a team that will reach that station. He says: “A man who will not spend $10,000 or $20,000 when there 1s a vertainty of doubling his money on the In- vestment should not be classed with bus!- ness men.” Crafty Anson. The howl about the umpires is temporar- ily transferred to the western circuit, but occasionally the kick {s so loud and distinct that its echo is heard at league headquar- ters, “Uncle Nick” Young received a long letter from Umpire Miah Murray, explain- ing the row that occurred In the Chicago- New York game. The press reporis stated that Dad Clarke, New York's pitcher, be- came angry, and In his rage deliber. threw the ball at Capt. Anson, in the coaching box back of first base. According to Umpire Murray, Anson had repeatedly, or more than once, suggested that the ball in play was ripped, and re- quested Clarke to submit the ball to the umpire for examination. Finally Clarke, who insisted that the ball was all right, said to Anson: “Here, look at it yourself,” and with that remark tossed the ball over to Anson. There were two Chicago run- ners on bases at that moment, and Anson stepped aside and allowed the ball to roll off behind the bag. The base runners took advantage of the foolish play on the part of Clarke and advanced a base. A some people say Anson is not craf knew enough about the rules to r that Clarke was not required to sul the ball to him for inspection. Clarke did not know the rule on the subject. It is asténishing how few of the players are familiar with the rules. Demand for Ex-Umpires. There is a howl every few days for the | reappointment of Lynch, Gaffney, Hurst and one or two other ex-leagne umpires, So far as Mr. Lynch is concerned, he was recently requested by “Uncle Nick" to withdraw his resignation and resumo his position in the league staff. In a very courteous letter, Mr. Lynch replied that under no circumstances would he umpire in the league this season. ‘the inference drawn from his letter is that he might re- turn to the fleld next year, but he has no intention of taking further chances this season. That disposes of Mr. Lynch. Gaffney {is out of the question. “If he was one-half. as good to himself,” said “Uncle Nick,” “as I have been to him he would be in the league today. He was given every chance to do the right thing by himself, but he persisted upon going wrong, so he cannot receive further con- sideration at the hands of the league.” As for Tim Hurst, he is «bjected to by the men who originally objected to his appointment, and, witile they have a voice in the affairs of the league, there is no chance for him. Hurst is not a star um- pire by any means; besides, there are or ought to be plenty of well-qualified and desirable men willing to umpire at a sal- ary of $250 per month, with their traveling expenses paid.

The Senators made eight hits, but so clev- erly did the southerners field the visitors scored only two runs. Monday the two teams play again. Base Ball Notes. When the Senators return from the west- ern tour on August 3 they will in all prob- ability give Outflelder Bob Rainey of Wav- erly a trial. This young man is a most promising player, having already been un- der contract with the Hagerstown club. The Baltimores will soon have a new catcher. His name is Bowerman, and he has been playing in the West Virginia League. Manager Hanlon has broken out with a criticism of President Young. He claims that there is a scheme on foot to beat the Baltimores out of the championship by sending incompetent. umpires to officiate at games played by the champions. It has been stated that Manager Hanlon has been offered a princely salary to take charge of the New York team next year. This is not so. President Freedman in an interview tried to induce Mr. Hanlon to name a price for his services, but got no satisfaction. That is all there is in the story. Freedman wanted Hanlon in New York. but Hanlon did not touch the bait. Complaint is made by officers of the Gleveland Base Ball Club that Manager Doyle of the New Yorks has been trying to get O'Connor, the Cleveland catcher, by offering him alluring inducements. BRITISH FEELING VEERING AROUND. A Revulsion in Faver of the Cor- nellians. (Copyrightd by the Associated Press.) LONDON, Juiy 13.—In regard to the Hen- ley regatta, so much has already been ca- bled that little remains to be said. The straightforward statement made by Capt. Freeborn on behalf of the Cornell crew should set at rest the rumors circulated by the friends of the Leanders against the fair dealing of the young men from Ithaca. As Freeborn stated, the ‘umpire had entire control of the race after it was started, and to disregard his command was sufti- cient reason to disqualify a crew. The umpire did not In any way indicate his de- sire to have the Cornell crew return, fol- lowed them to the finish and awarded them the heat. No one regrets the outcome of the affair more than the members of the Cornell crew, who afterward frankly ac- knowledged their defeat by Trinity Hall in a hard race, saying they had no excuses to offer and that they were fairly beaten. There is little doubt that British feeling is veering around a great deal in favor of the Cornell crew, and it is beginning to be recognized that the Cornell men were not so much to blame after all. S. Francis, a graduate of Cornell University, who came over here with the crew, and who had an interview yes with the United States ambassador, Mr. Thomas F. Bayard, at the United States embassy, informed a representative of the Assoclated Press that Mr. Bayard, while expressing regret that Cornell did not wit, said that from what he saw he was satis- fied they did thelr solid best. Mr. Bayard saw the start in the heat in which Leander was to have rowed against Cornell, and states that he could not see that the latter crew was at fault in doing as it did in obeying the umpire and rowing over the ccurse. Mr. Bayard did not’ hear and had not observed any objection to start upon the part of the Leanders before ‘he um- pire started the race, ind the ambassador added that when the word “go” was given certainly several of the Leanders’ oars were pulled through the w: Mr, Francis saw Mr. man, captain of the Leander Boat Clu, vesterday at Henley-on-Thames, and they had a cordial chat. Mutual regrets were expressed at the hitch which had occurred at the start of the Cornell-Leandsr race, and it is sald that the interview smoothed over any feel- ing which may previously have heen felt on efther side. The Cornel? crew ‘as gone out of train- ing, will not race any mors on this side of the water, and ll shortly return io the United States. Cornellians Lenve Henley. The Cornell men left Henley at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Their boats were loaded on four trucks attached to the train. The crew have not altered their arrange- ments to sail for home on July 27. The Argonauts of Toronto, the champion four of America, left Henley in the morn- ing. The Canadians were the most popular of all the visiting crews, though the Dutch crews of the Nereus Rowing Club of Am- sterdam University, vied with them in pop- ularity. The Dutchmen also left Henley yesterday. They will spend a few days in London and then retnrn to Amsterdam. They have announced their intention to go to Henley in 1896 to compete for the grand challenge cnp. Charley Francis, the Cornell gradute who has been looking after the crew in England, says regarding the Cornell walk- over: “Had I been on board the launch and heard the Leanders say they were not ready T certainly should have asked the umpire to recall Cornell and give the boats another start.”* Mr. Francis continued by saying that his sense of fair play would not have allowed him to do anything else. The Lonflon Sporting Life says that Coach Courtney is still prostrated. He came to London yesterday and sails for home aboard the New York today. Fen- nell’s accident brought on congestion of the lungs and he will remain for some {ime at Henley. Hamilton stays to nurse him. ZIMMERMAN’S FAST MILE. Trials Run at Asbury Park in View of Thousands. Eight thousand people saw Arthur A. Zjmmerman circle the park three times in a one-mile exhibition in 1 minute 4-5 seconds at Asbury Park yesterday afternoon. It was as fine an exhibition as has ever been seen on any bicycle course, and when the champion fairly flew down the track at the finish the crowd rose and cheered him time and time again. He was paced by a squad on which were four pro- fessionals, and had they set a faster pace it is certain that Zimmerman would have still further reduced the time, as he hug- ged the back wheel of the machine from the start. There have been faster miles than this, but none under the same conditions. John- son, Sanger and A. Porter have all estab- shed world’s records in better time, but wher it is remembered they did so after special preparation while Zimmerman had absolutely none, and has been helping to show his friends a good time this week, his mile record will stand out prominent. The final in the one-mile handicap, class A, resulted as follows: Firsts and seconds in trials to start—W. A. Brown, New York, 60 yards, first; Louis Hunter, N. J. A. C. S80 yards, second; J. M.

ENGLISH NOT VERY HOPEFUL. Discussing the Merits of Valkyrie and Defender. LONDON, July 13.—In an article dis- cussing the alleged improvements in Vig- ilant and the possibility that she will de- feat Defender, the Field raises the ques- tion whether the clause providing that a substituted vessel must be of the same di- mensions as the original applies to the cup defender as well as to the challenger. If so, it would prevent Vigilant being chosen probably be claimed t the clause does not apply to the defénfling yacht, as the New York Yacht Clud has always kad a free hand in choosing the defender up to within a few hours of the commencement of the races. Commenting upon Valkyrie 111’s last fine performance and the supposition that De- fender will behave equally well in a similar wind, the Field says that this does not agree with the report that Defender is 80 stiff that her sail spread is to be increased. “Anyway,” the article}goes on, “Valkyrie III is our fastest liglttbreeze vessel and may do something to rejoice us.

CYCLOPAEDIA OF ANECDOTE. Brummel and Byron. From Puck. = Byron, while walking along Piccadilly one bright summer morning, encountered Beau Brummel, who was returning from his tailor’s. “How are you, Brvemmel?” said the poet. “Pretty well, thank you,” returned the beau. sf “I've been reading ‘Don Juan.’ ”” “Yes?” said Byron, with a smile. “There is some clever rhyme in it.” “So?” observed Byron, with affected sur- prise. “And some pretty good versification.” “Ah?” returned the poet. “Why don’t you try your hand at poetry, Byron?” asked Brummel. The two never spoke to each other again. A Distinction. Andrew Jackson, as is well known, had not a very high opinion of John Quincy Adams This was never more fully shown than by his reply to a young autograph hunter, who wrote, asking: “Why do they call you Old Hickory To this Jackson replied: “To distinguish me from J.

Upon Columbus’ return from his great voyage of discovery he was received with enthusiasm. Invitations to dine with the grandees of Spain poured in upon him in such profusion that ‘could he have fixed his own date he need never have been called upon to pay for a single meal for the balance of his days. The only invitations he would accept, however, were those from Ferdinand and Isabella. At one of those inners he was expatiating upon the beau- ties of the country he had discovered, when vhe king asked him what name he would suggest for the new land. : “Well,” he sald, “if I had my way I should change the name of North America to Ferdinand and that of South America to Isabella.” - The monarchs were so pleased with this that Columbus was presented with the Order of the Bath, and invited to stay over night. Anecdote of Alexander the Great. The true version of Alexander's regret that he had no more worlds to conquer is as follows: Calling his private secretary to him, the conqueror said: | : “How do we stand now as regards the earth?” ‘ “We appear to own it, sire,” returned the young man. “There is absolutely no little world any- where that we can pull in?” “Absolutely none, sire.’ ‘You've been all through the atlas?” ‘Completely, s're.”” nd there's nothing left?” ‘Not an acre, sire.” Then the victer of a thousand fights sighed deeply and with a wistful smile, he sald: for one hour of Christopher Colum- bus Samuel Jobpson’s Preciseness.
