The New Orleans Collector and the Steamer James Woodall. The Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General have indorsed the action of the collector of customs at New Orleans in the case of the steamer James Woodall, which vessel, the Spanish consul had com- plained, was about to carry munitions of war to Cuba, in violation of the neutrality laws. In a report to the Treasury Depart- ment in regard to this case the collector says: “Whatever arms or ammunition of war she may have carried, it seems evident that the Woodall did not convey any expedition- ary force from her place of departure, Bal- timore. In my opinion, the vessel has not violated any of the sections of the Revised Statutes relating to neutrality, even if she did carry arms end ammunition to the Cuban coast. Under the decisions referred to, I do not think that this office has au- thority to seize or even detain the vessel except for a limited period if her papers are regular, even should she be loaded with arms and ammunition for the insurgents in Cuba, provided they were not associated with an expeditionary force; and the ship- crew proportioned to the size of el and necessary for her proper navigation would not seem to me to con- stitute an expeditionary force. Any one engaging in such busin of course, for- feits his right to protect by our govern- t, and runs the risk of capture by Span- ish war vessels. Blockade runners, whether British or American, took the same risk when they ran the blockade from Nassau and other ports during the late war. It may be well to recall at this point that the Geneva tribunal gave awards for the dam- age done by armed cruisers fitted out in England, but I am not aware that any damages were ever awarded for the acts of blockade runners, and the enormous serv- ices they rendered the confederate cause. * * * Unless otherwise instructed by the department, I shall not refuse clearance or interfere with the Woodall If she takes a cargo of any character whatever, even if a portion of it should consist of arms and ammunition, but before issuing her papers or returning her certificate of registry, which is now In possession of this office, I shall promptly notify both the department and the Spanish consul that the vessel is about to depart.” It, therefore, appears that the collector Is merely to notify the Spanish consul of the clearance of vessels with munitions of war, and it will then remain for them to keep clear of ips, wh would certainly be on thelr track’ upon the first o—___. A Bank Cashier Decamps. Cc. H. Stucky, cashier of the + Bank of Duluth, Minn., is missing, and with him $15,000 of the bank’s cash. He locked the safe and closed the bank as usual Wednes- day evening, and everything was supposed to be all right. He did not put in an ap- pearance at his accustomed time in the morning, however, and when the safe was opened it was discovered that all the bills of large dencmination and all of the gold coin were gone. Investigation showed that he had not occupied his room at his resi. dence, and further search failed to discluse his whereabouts. For some time past Stucky has been leading a fast life and has been on intimate terms with a not woman, and it fs thought he was liv yond his meens, DUNRAVEN AT RYDE He Declares That He Has No Talk- ing to Do NO COMMENT 10 MAKE ON THE RACES Corbett, the Pugilist, Placed Under Arrest. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS RYDE, Isle of Wight, October 18—The steam yacht Valhalla, owned by Mr. Jo- seph Frederick Layceck, and having Lord Dunraven on board, arrived here from Newport, R. IL, this morning, having left the latter place on September 2%. The craft anchored close to the Royal Yacht, Squadron club house at about 9:30, and she was soon afterward boarded by a small brigade of interviewers desirous of obtain- ing, direct from Lord Dunraven, his ver- sion of disappointing races for the sTHer cz’s cup. He said, in substance: “T have no statement to make on the subject. What I would sey has been well threshed out of me during the fortnight I stayed in America after the races.” He declined to answer a question as to whether he had any ill feeling toward the New York Yacht Ciub, and he refused to comment upon the statement made by Sail- maker Ratsey’s men when they arrived at Cowes recently, that the last race was not sailed because the buoys had been changed during the second race, adding: “It would not do any good to discuss such unpleasant matters.” Ategarding his pians for future racing, Lord Dunraven said: “I have no plans. I have just arrived home after a long yoyage and I am going to London, and from there to my estate in Wales.-I do not know what I shall do later on. Touching upon the acceptance by the New York Yacht Club of the challenge of Mr. Charles D. Rose, through the Royal Victoria Yacht Club for another series of races for the America’s cup, Lord Dun- raven remarked: “The matter was practically settled when I left the United States. Personally I am glad that it has been so easily and quickly settled. “We had a pleasant and uneventful voy- age and I am glad to be back in England.” Shortly after the Valhalla anchored Lord Dunraven and Messrs. Laycock and Wood went ashore to the Royal Yacht Squadron’s club house, where they were soon btsily ergaged in answering questions about the recent international yacht races. CORBETT ARRESTED. Charged With Conspiring to Assault Fitzsimmons. As telegraphed to The Star yesterday from Hot Springs, a warrant against James J. Corbett, the pugilist, was issued. ‘It charges that he had threatened, is conspir- ing and was about to commit an unlawful asault upon the person of one Bob Fitzsim- mons. What Gen. Taylor Says. Brig. Gen. George P. Taylor of the Ar- kansas State Guard returned to Little Rcck from Hot Springs last evening, and was closeted with Governor Clarke last night for an hour or more. After the con- ference, Gen. Taylor said: “The fight will not occur at Hot Springs nor in Arkansas. There is no doubt on that score.”” “Not even in a mcdified way, as now pro- (0, sir." “What will be the effect of the court preecedings, if favorable to the fight, on th2 proposition to mass the militia at Hot Springs and prevent the fight?” “I don’t feel at liberty to discuss that phase of the question. My duty is to car- ry out orders, whether they are right or wrong, but I believe the orders the govern- or_may issue will be right.” Gen. Taylor said that he had been re- quested by Governor Clarke to remain at Little Rock for the present. He had found the best people of Hot Springs in favor of the centest. In explaining the report that he had been photographed at Hot Springs tegether_ with Corbett and William A. Brady, Gen. Taylor sald that a snap shot was taken while he was talking to the two men. ‘The warr:nt for bis arrest wa3 sworn out and Sheriff Houpt started to ride out to Corbett’s training quarters at Spring Lake to place the champion under arrest. The sheriff reacked Spring Lake so late that it was decided to remain there last nigit and bring the champion into the city on the early morning train. Sheriff Houpt spent the night at the pugilist’s training quar- ters, and the champion was virtually under arrest. - THE ELI Car Londs of Horses Arrive From the South and West. ‘The carpenters, painters and laborers are through with their labors on the new Elk- ton, Md., race track, and everything around the track there is spick and span. The many improvements have all been completed, and with fair weather the opening tomorrow promises to be an au- spicious one. Car loads of horses have been arriving from Washington and pvints in the south and west, and late yesterday afternoon a consignment of eighty-eight came in from New York. They are from the tracks around that vicinity, and the class of horses contesting at this meeting will be much better than at any other out- side of Morris Park. The stables to arrive yesterday and the number of horses were: Mr. Clark, 3; I. Greer, 4; W. C. Hill, 6; F. Gartland, 7; Mr. MeManus, 6; Mr. Hubbard, 5 5; G. Fields, 4; A. Camp, J. Rogers, %; R. Bratton, Kelly, 3; W. M. Hennessey, 5; G. C. Gray, 7; W. Sloper, son, 4; William Beckett, 8: J. Flippen, 4; Johnny Ryan, 3; Jack Lovell, 6, and William Holler, 2. Those that were al- ready at the track were out exercising, and the early morning hours presented a scene of activity such es {s seldom seen there. ‘Today many more will arrive, and the lim- ited stabling offered by the track, 350, will be severely taxed. ‘The program for the opening day con- tains the usual number of races, five, and the sport promised will be of a character seldom seen outside of the big tracks. The best horses from Aqueduct and Brighton, together with those that could not travel quite fast enough to earn brackets at Sheepshead Bay, Gravesend and Morris Park, will be on hand, and as the condi- tions are very inviting to the owners large and well-balanced fields will face the flag in each event. HANDICAPS ANNOUNCED. Robertson Places the Wheelmen in Tomorrow's Races. Mr. W. T. Robertson, official handicapper of the L. A. W. for the District, has com- pleted the handicaps in the races which will be held tomorrow Afternoon on the track of the Columbia Athletic Cub.

Orlando Stevens rode a quarter mile, un- paced, flying start, in 23 1-6seconds at Hen- drick, Iowa, yesterday, peatns his own world’s record of 23.4-5. He rode one-third of a mile in 332-5, beating-the world’s rec- ord of 362-5 seconds. SPORTING “MISCELL! ANY. Martin Julian left Corpnig Christi, Texas, yesterday for New Orleans en route to Hot Springs, but the balance_of the pugilistic party are still there, and Fitzsimmons con- tinues his work of trainffg as though the fight were sure to come*off on scheduled time. He says he is disgil¥t2d at Brady for signing the new articles df'agreement, and emphatically declares that Julian will not sign them. “I am elther going to fight Corbett to a fin- ish or not at all,” Fitzsimmons added, “and I don’t propose to go to Arkansas or any’ other place for the purpose of making a monkey of myself. I think it would please Jim mighty well to have the tight with soft gloves and limited number of rounds, but it won't please me at all, and !t shan’t be that way.” George W. Taylor, chief of the fire de- partment of Guthrie, Okla., has submitted to Secretary Wheelock of the Florida Ath- letic Club a proposition that the citizens of Guthrie will deposit $15,000 cash to guarentee that there will be no interfevence with the Fitzsimmons-Corbett fight if held there. ‘They propose to move the amphitheater from Dallas, free of charge, and erect it in the site at Guthrie, without expense to the Florida Athletic Club. Secretary Wheelock wired the proposition to President Dan. ‘Stuart at Hot Springs for submission to those inter- ested. Williant Brecker of Chicago, the nineteen- year-old-boy who recently lowered the El- gin-Aurora century run record, has been in training for several weeks, and yesterday afternoon he started to establish a fifty-mile unpaced track record, and covered the ¢ tance in 2:20:00 4-5. The race was according to L. A. W. rules, and is the first fifty-mile record recognized by the L. A, W. The dis- tance has been, covered in 2:30:00, but the record was not recognized by the league. Prof. J. B. Ames of Harvard, accomparied by Captain Brewer of the foot ball tea.n, met Captain Lea and Messrs, Fine and King of the Princeton team in New Lorfdon yes- terday to discuss foot ball rules and the pro- posed match between Harvard and Prince- ton. The meeting was held at the Crocker House behind closed doors, and lasted from 1 o'clock in the afternoon uniil 7:40 o'clock in the evening, but nothing could be learned of the result. Prof. Ames and the others present refused to say anything. Prof. Ames and Capt. Brower returned to Cambridge from New London late last night, but nothing could be learned of the result of the conference with the Princeton foot ball managers, It is thought from this unexpected reticence on the part of the Har- vard men, as well as from the tact that the conference lasted over six hours, that some hitch occurred over the settl2ment of rules, and that the question will have to be sub- uted to the Harvard authorities for ac- ion, In the fourth race at San Fransisco yes- terday Mumte Scott, a California bred horse, broke the world’s record for seven and one- half furlengs, doing the distance in 1.38 1-4. The best previous coast record was 1.34 1-4, and the world’s record was 1.34, made by Libertine at St. Louis last August. —<$<o_6 : REPRODUCTION OF N OF OS ANTIQUE, It is No Longer antares, but Better nnd More Artintic ;Work. Styles revolve in cycles to a greater de- gree than other human creations, and every now and then there is a resur ‘rection of some old favorite fashion that was dear to our grandparents’ hearts, Womankind barely missed the ancient hoopskirt of voluminous width last year, when crinoline had made such advances, and only a sudden change in sone leading Parlstenne's de- sires stopped the tide, which was setting that way. In furniture, too, there is a univer- sal tendency to have old things about us, so far as style goes, and jt’will doubtless be surprising to know that the modern an- tiques, if such a paradox {fs permissible, are more perfect in all that goes to form beauty and effect than the antique an- tiques. A Star reporter fortified himself on the geveral subject of furniture this morning in a chat with Mr. Arthur C. Moses of the firm of W. B. Moses’ Sons, whose framense establishment at lith and F streets is scarcely less of a landmark in Washington than the Capitol building it- self. “In the ordinary, medium grades of house furnishings, there can be but few changes made,” said Mr. Moses. “It is in the higher class of goods that we notice a marvelous improvement in designs and finishes. “The reproductions of the antique are more true and correct in outline, finish and detail than ever before. The time has come when the intelligent purchaser of an artistic piece cannot be told that a style is or is not a perfect reproduction. The new things are realiy the antiques—modernized only in the points of construction, which are far better than formerly, and in the staining and coloring of the woods. Where mahogany and oak were formerly left in their natural color, they are now stained to dark, rich shades; the idea formerly be- ing that mahogany became more beautiful if colored by age instead of being stained before leaving the makers’ hands. This is true; but we live more rapidly in these days, and want the benefits of the beautiful— even in furniture—while we're here to enjoy them, so what is the use of waiting year after year for mahogany to color, like a meerschaum pipe, from time and use, when practically the same effect can be had in the first place? “There has been but little change in the vee of fine woods,” he continued. “Ma- hogany is, and always has been, the king in its realm; but we must kave some va- riety, and so oak, in its different effects, is largely used. The newest idea in this wood is the Belgian and Flemish finish, and the Holland finish has some chances of popularity In small, odd pieces. Belgian and Flemish finished pieces, the imported and the domestic ones, are used principal- ly in dining rooms, and, to some extent, In halls and libraries. No contrast is more effective in the furnishing of the ‘salle a’ manger’ than the black oak with old, or the Delph blue china used as ornaments. “In library furniture, the Renaissance, Henry IV and colonial pieces are the most used,” he went on, entertainingly. ‘In the drawing room, the styles of the three Louises, the Turkish over-stuff—which 1s really American in design—and the lighter colonial pieces will always be correctly used. “For the reception hall—sometimes used as a Mbrary—Turkish and Arablan inlaid pieces are very effective, particularly if the tout ensemble is completed with the use of proper draperies, oriental lamps, brackets, sm king tables, and so fcrth. In the finer bed room furniture, the red ma- hogany from San Domingo, Honduras and Mexico is decidedly in advance of other woods in popularity, and in the hall,” said Mr. Moses, in conclusion, “quartered oak in the antique finish still holds its own, as it does also in dining room, library, office and bed room furniture, in the medium qualities, and, to some extent, in the very finest goods.” = —_——-_—— MILITARY WHEELMEN ORGANIZE, General Ordway Chosen President of the New Body.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Funeral of Ollie Taylor Very Largely Attended, A Presentation to a Paster — Sudden Death of a Well-Known Citizen. The funeral of Oliver Taylor, better known as ‘Ollie’ Taylor, the half-witted colored man who died Sunday last from wounds inflicted Wednesday, October 9, by John Lucas at 2714 Olive street, Georgetown, took place yesterday from Mount Zion Church, 20th street. A great concourse of :ympa- thizing and curious people gathered Jn and about the church during the services. The street was blocked for some distance, the crime of which deceased was the victim raving aroused much interest among the colored people particularly.. The dead man was a member of the Mt. Zion Church. Rev. S. Aiken Lewis, the pastor,. conducted the services. His remarks over the dead were full of feeling. He deplored the nature of the death, and begged that his hearers ab- stain from the use of strong drink. It was the greatest curse of the age, and was responsible for nearly all the crimes the colored race had been guilty of. Rev. Dr. D. P. Seaton, pastor of Ebenezer Church, and ‘the Rev. W. H. Brooks assisted Rev. Mr. Lewis in the last churchly rites. The interment was in Mt. Zion cemetery. A Presentation. ‘The members of the Early Rose Club of Mt. Zion M. E. Church surprised their pas- tor, Rev. S. Aiken Lewis, last night by pre- senting him with a purse handsomely filled. The reverend gentleman was much affected by the gift, and expressed his appreciation in well-chosen words. The little occasion Was a very happy one. The officers and members of the presenting club are: Mrs. Martha Lee, president; Mrs. Mary Hutchin- son, vice president; Mrs. L. Palmer, treas- urer; Mrs. Alice Harriss, secretary, and Mrs. Georgie Weaver, Mrs. Emma Wil- liams, Mrs. Maggie Thomas and Mrs. Mary Watkins. Died Suddenly, Mr. William H. Dougal died yesterday suddenly at the home of his daughter, the wife of the Rev. Chas. Herr, Jersey City, N. J. He had gone on for a short visit, cnly being aware of what he thought was a tempcrary indisposition. His death has shocked this community, where he has re- sided all his life. Mr. Dougal was an exemplary citizen; quiet, but always admirable in character. For years he was recognized as one of the most skillful engravers under the govern- ment, spending a long term at the bureau of engraving and printing. He was. also a painter of ability. Deceased was an elder in the Presbyterian Church on P street, and was active in its government. He leaves a wife and six children, Mrs. Herr, Mrs. W. T. Wheatley, Mrs. William A. Leetch, and two unmarried daughters. Notes. . J. T. Scrivener has bought of Jane R.

Jones of Chicago, who Is now in the city attending the meeting of the Ancient Arabic Shrine and who has been retained by the Illinois Protective State League, which has taken much in- terest in the Waller case, intends today or tomorrow to call on President Cleveland and lay before him a petition signed by Mayor Swift of Chicago, ex-Governor Ham- flton of Mlinois, the judges of the various courts in Chicago and a large number of leading «itizens, asking the President to take prompt action to secure Waller’s re- lease and reparation for the wrongs he has suffered. The paper is as follows: : “We, the undersigned citizens of the city of Chicago, respectfully petition your ex- cellency to take immediate action for the release of John L. Waller, now imprisoned at Marseilles, France, under an unjust and unlawful edict of a French military court. The arrest and imprisonment of John L. Waller by the authorities of the republic of France is the concern of every American citizen. When a citizen of the United Statec is arrested and incarcerated in prison by a foreign power it is the duty of the American government, without delay, to speedily inquire into the cause of such imprisonment and inform the public as speedily as the interest of the public sery- ice will permit. “It has been stated that Mr. Waller, an American citizen, while domiciled at Mada- gascar, was found with arms on his person, and that fact is the basis of his arrest and conviction by a court-martial, organized by the commander of the French troops, then on the Island of Madagascar. “It is not claimed that Mr. Waller has been tried for any offense against the laws of Madagascar, or that hé has been tried by a civil court. “Your petitioners submit that if these facts are true it is the highest duty of the gover:ment at Washington to afford its good offices, without delay, to secure his speedy liberation and reparation for the wrongs and injustice he has suffered. “The government of the United States, representing about 70,000,000 souls, cannot afford to neglect its citizens when sojourn- ing“in foreign countries. The power of this great nation must be felt and respect- ed by every foreign country if American citizenship is to be valued.” —a CHEERED THEIR MAJESTIES. The German Emperor and Empress Visit Alsace-Lorraine.
