Bland, a young man who came to this city from Baltimore about two years go, and has been employed here since that time, was taken with a sudden hemorrhage Saturday evening at the power house of the Capital Traction Company, and died at the Emergency Hospital a few moments later. Bland called at the power house about 7 o'clock, and after chatting a few moments with the night watchman, J. G. Bailey, ascended the stairs for the pur- pose of visiting some friends employed in the building. On reaching the top of the first flight he sank into a chair and Te- merked to William Jewell, a clerk of the railway company, that-he felt he was going to die. Blood began to gush from. the mouth and nose of Bland, and the Emer- gency Hospital ambulance was summoned, but, as stated, death occurred soon after arrival at the hospital. Mr. James R. Bland of Baltimore, the father of the deceased, came to Washing- ton yesterday. Bland was a member cf the Electrical Union, and a special meeting of that body has been called for this évening to make arrangemet.ts for the funeral and draw up resolutions of condclerce.: The funeral will take place from Lee’s undertaking estab- shment at 7:30 tomorrow morning. The members who have the arrangements in charge are J. H. Lioyd, H. Phillips and W. Watzel. TRACK AND COURSE The Crews in Hard Training at Henley.

Seven thousand persons witnessed the Providence Club of the Eastern League de- feat the Senators yesterday in an exhibi- tion game at Rocky Point, R. L it was a game of batting, pure and simple, as the grounds did not admit of brilliant playing. A young man named Friel, who twirled for Providence, was somewhat of an enigma to the Senators, while German was touched up-for twenty-six hits. McCauley caught for Washington and was given an ovation, he being last season the star catcher of the Providence team. A number of ad- mirers presented McCauley with a costly gold-headed cane. The Senators were en- tertained right royally and tendered a fish dinner. The score by innings was: R. LE. Providence... 6 00 4 00 8 1 0-19 2671 Washington. 101000001-3 94 Terry Was Batted Freely. After an absence of a month, Chicago yesterday returned home and was defeated by Cincinnati in the presence of a large crowd. Dwyer was hit safely in but onc inning, while ‘Adonis’ Terry was batted freely threfighout and received poor sup- port. Fred Pfeffer was given a most cor- cial reception and was presented with a handsome floral piece, as was Third Base- man Irwin. CHICAGO. K.H.O.A.

Says Tim Murnane in describing the first Washington-Boston game: Did you ever see a full-blown smile gather for business on a winning ball player's face? If not, you have misséd a great treat. A few minutes after the sun had passed down behind the old machine shops to the west of the south end ball ground yesterday afternoon, Cupt. William “Scrappy” Joyce led his band of celebrated Senators from the diamond to his coach in waiting with a victory over the Boston team to smile over. Those who gathered along the line of march were willing to testify that Sir Billy's smile was more than the regula- tion, and looked very much like a big gash in_a ripe watermelon. Tom Brown was close to the captain, but smiled in a more becoming manner, show- ing his Californian breeding; but you can well believe that Sir Thomas was happy. As the new aspirants for pennant hon- ors passed out after throwing down “our own,” the crowd hummed: You did them nice, Scrappy Joyce, Scrappy Joyce. It was Stivetts against Maul, or main strength against clever head work, and the latter won in a walk. De Montreville, the Senators’ mew short- stop, is a good one. There is no mistake about this. He has style and a perfect knowledge of how to handle grounders. This is the one place where Washington has strengthened and helped the team wonderfully. The all-round work of the “Joycites” was up to anything seen here this year. The Senators hit and ran together, and showed excellent team training. Maul pitched with his usual coolness, working every man. The visitors’ outfield is fast, and McGuire threw to bases in a way io make the throwing of the Boston catch- ers look Toledo. Pitcher Maul delayed the game by con- -tinually rubbing the ball in the dirt, and now ranks with Cuppy in this city as the pitcher who will keep people away from long drawn-out games. The league might well take notice of this setback. Manager Gus Schmelz of the Senators looked after the turnstiles. He was look- ing well, and delighted at the work Joyce was getting out of the boys. Tom Tucker got a round of applause in the seventh when he went to the coacn- ing line to speak a few kind words to his fellow players. Al Maul seemed to enjoy the music of Sir Tom's voice, and the Holyoke man retired to a seat by the side of Mr. Selee, where the mourne:s gathered, un- der the shadow of the grand stand. Joyce's men are Senators to the core, and winners. De Montreville is certainly an acquisition to the Washington team. Old-Timers Play Ball. The benefit game to Phil Baker, the catcher of the famous.National Base Ball Club, Saturday at National Park was ao gatifying success snd!e good sum was realized. Baker and.sii the old timers were lopdly arplauded, partieularly President N. E. Young of the National League, who ccvered second base for the Nationals. In spite of the fact th&t ithe majority of the men had not handléd 8 ball To? ten years or qrore, some good playing was done. The Mile Limits won t! ie by a score of 19 to 11. i s* Sunday School Base Ball. The Sunday schoeisiiof Gunton Temple Memorial Church ariduthe First Baptist Church took an offing’ to Marshall Hall Saturday, and a ¢amé! of base ball was played by teams representing the two schools. The First\Baptist team came out ahead, 11 to 4. The same team won last year. rod: Juvenile Champions. ‘The Census Base Ball Club now claim the chempionship of the District under eight- een years, by reason of the Shamrock Re- serves refusing to play, and also the re- fusal of the Radfords. The Shamrock Re- serves and the Census were to have play- ed yesterday at Silver Springs. Both teams were on the diamond, but without cause or reason whatever the former refused to Piay, so the game was forfeited. Chi lenges from clubs under eighteen years will be received by W. Hussey, 1st and D streets southeast. Base Ball Notes, Washington in Boston today. King will be pitted against Sullivan. The score, by irnings, of the games in which the Washingtons engage, both at home and abroad, are posted, by innings, as soon as received, in front of ‘The Star office. “We will buy players,” said Treasurer Oliver of St. Louls, “but we will neither sell nor trade.” Pop Anson is willing to bet 5 to 1 that he doesn’t quit the game before he wins the pennant. No one will take the money. Joyce of Washington makes good use of a willing press agent, and, in consequence, he is one of the best-known captains in the National League.—Pittsburg Chronicle- Telegraph. The Louisvilles show themselves sadly in need of training in team work. They don't play together. The Cincinnatis are playing good ball, and deserve the position they have gained in the race for the flag. Corbett.” Bowerman and Esper of Balti- more will be loaned the Seranton club un- til the Orioles again need their services. John I. Rogers denies the rumor that John Ward has been secured as manager for the Phillies. He says the team needs players, not ‘managers. } 22 Selee' wanted Mike Sullivan to replace Mains, but Conant-and Sullivan had a quarrel several years ago, and the Boston man blocked the deal. Sullivan has just graduated from law school, : Cleveland will not support a winning team and Philadelphia will not patronize any other kind. Could not Presidents Rob- ison and Reach fix up some sort of deal by which the two teams could change loca- tions? It is safe to guarantee that this city will liberally support a team occupying the position and playing the ball Cleveland does.—P=fladelphia Ledger. TEBEAU WAS TO BLAME. So Says Ward in Reviewing the Re- cent Cleveland Trouble. John M. Ward, in a NewYork paper to+ day, reviews at some length. the resent dif; ficulty between Umpire Lynch and Cap: Tebeau ‘at’ Cleveland, and his conclusions are all in favor of Lynch, who is deciared to be a gentleman by instinct, scrupulously conscientious, perfectly impartial, and a thorough master of his, position. In summing up, Ward says: “It is sad to record,"but it is none the less a fact, that President Young himscit ts-largely responsible fot the préSent’ state of, affairs...Each winter. the magnate emnly give Mr. Young supreme cont umpires, and each summer ever of them does his best to ma: staff for his own ‘advantage. dent Young permits himself to be governed by their protests. But whenever, at the re- quest or demand of, any magnate, however powerful, he removes, or transfers an um- spire, or keeps him away from a cer ty he not cnly, breaks down the inde- pendence and confidence of his own official, but at the same he Is spreading and en- couraging among players a spirit of de- fiance and desrespect for-the umpire’s au- thority. 7 To begin with, every umpire should have a place to dress after the game, entirely removed from the players of either team. To permit him to dress in the same room with either-team is a serious mistake. Af- ter the game, when his authority is practi- cally, evén §f not theoretically, at an end; he is.subject to the fiercest attacks, and many a time 2n umpire’s decisions on the field are doubtless influenced by what_he fears he might have to g0 through in the ‘drtssirfg réom: wen ithous doubt President Young should give his umpires more unflinching support. This ray involve something to President Ycung; indeed, it is conceivable that it might cost him the position he has held so long. But if, in the annals of the national game, he wishes to be remembereil as truly great, he must give more attention to this, one of his most important duties. Columbia Athletic Captain. The Columbia Athletic Bicycle Club held a meeting Saturday and elected E. M. Har- mon captain of the club, with power to choose his four lieutenants. The captain will have entire charge of the club, and the club runs, subject, of course, to the appro- val of the board of governors. AT INTERNATIONAL ATHLETIC PARK Morton Cadets and Wheel Make a Pretty Program, The Morton Cadets, Saturday afternoon, journeyed to the International Athletic Park, on the Conduit road, and reproduced in almost every detail the drill which re- cently won the Galveston cup and the championship title for the company at the Savannah interstate drill, held in May last. In connection with the drill several bicycle races were run, and all in “all the affair was a complete success. The exercises opened with a one-mile bi- cycle race, open to all comers, which was won by Fred Schade, with Fred Sims sec- ond and Billie Sims third. During the greater portion of the race George Ball of the Road Club was in the lead, but on the final lap Schade and Sims spurted, and for a time it looked very much as though Sims would cross the tape in first place, but Schade managed to pull in ahead. The time was 2,34, one second inside the limit. The second race was a two-mile handi- cap, in which Schade was given fifty yards against Sims. After the second lap the latter dropped out of the race, apparently realizing that it was impossible to success- fully overcome such odds. There were six- teen other riders in the race, and although some were 225 yards ahead of Schade, he made a ord urt on the last lap Races 3] and finished several ffpt ahead of George Ball, who was secddd,]Wwith Hardy Pritch- ard of the Road Cijp third. The time was 4.42. Schade received itaire diamond ring as first prize in tHe mile open, and a dia- mond scarf pin for winning the handicap. Fred Sims was presented with a garnet scarf pin and Billie Sim8 with a garnet and diamond pin. Diamoyd@- pins were the sec- ond and third prides {n the handicap race. Schade wore the cofors of the Morton Cadets, being an Nonorary member of that organization. The drill of the Morton Cadets was un- doubtedly the feature fof the day. Headed by the Mt. Pleasant Field Band they marched on the figld wearing white duck trousers, black ‘al oats and company caps. Capt. Shilling foHowed the program used on the Savannah field, and all the in- tricate movements in: the school of the company, as provided in the drill regula- tions were executed in a manner as well nigh perfect as could be conceived. At the conclusion of the drill in the school of the company the Mortons retired to a line of tents, and shortly thereafter reappeared, this time looking rather business-like in the National Guard field dress, with leggins and campaign hats. The extended order movements that followed were a revela- tion to the spectators, the exhibition of skirmishing being a practical demonstra- tion of what would be done by troops in case of real trouble. The races were in charge of the follow- ing officials: Referee, E. E. Simpson, L. A. W., official referee; starter, Maurice A. Joyce, Carroll Institute; announcer, Charles Taylor Cabrera, Columbian University; judges, William Gettinger, A. W.; R. RB: Reville, E. A. C., and J. Hart Brittain, C. A. C.; clerk, W. H. Henshaw, Q.

HENLEY-ON-THAMES, June 22.—The Yale crew were out at 11:30 this morning. They pulled to Temple Island and back in short stretches. During the first part of the morning the American oarsmen were coached in pair-oared work, which was the feature of the day’s training, and will be so from this time on. ‘Trinity Hall was out at an early hour and rowed short stretches to Temple Island. The famous Leander crew made their first appearance at 11:45 this morning. They went to Temple Island and back at a twenty-five-to-the-minute stroke. Before going into the shell “Bob” Cook took each member of the Yale crew, by turns, out in a pair-oared shell. He ap- pears well satisfied with the progress made, and said there would not be any changes in the composition of the crew. Mr. Cock has evidently definitely aban- doned the short stroke idea and the Amer- icans are now rowing the regular Yale stroke. The Leanders were watched with the greatest of interest today. They do not go as far back as Trinity Hall, and seemed rather ragged in thelr paddling, during which they adopted a stroke of 30 to the minute. In spurting the Leanders rowed 8 to the minute. They were coached by ehman and will row a fast stroke during the race for the grand challenge cup. The Yale men were delighted with their trip on the Thames yesterday. Among the callers at the Yale headquarters today were Mr. Charles Dana Gibson and Mr. J. J. Collins, the United States vice con- sul at London. Yale Boys Saw Wales. The Yale crew went down the Thames to Maidenhead in Mr. J. F. Cooper's launch yesterday, the royal boating party, consist- ing of the Prince of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of York and the Ascot party pass- ing them on the way up the river from Windsor. The crew was entertained at Friar Lodge by Mr. Cooper. New College interests Yale most, remarkable stories having reached Marsh Mills of the strength of this crew, which the Yale men expect to be their most formidable opponents. The impression made upon Englishmet by the Yale crew has caused exceptional efforts to be put forth to strengthen the Erglish crews defending the grand chal- lenge cup, and the contest is bound to be one of the fiercest aquatic battles ever seen on the Thame The Yale boys are now reaching back in goot shape and pulling a vigorous long stroke. At present they are pulling very slow, but their time will quicken gradually Without the length of the stroke being di- minished in the slightest. International Cricket. LONDON, June 22.—The first test cricket matches between England and Australia began today on Lord's cricket grounds. Fine weather prevailed and the wicket was hard. Immense crowds of people were pres- ent. The English eleven included Dr. W. G. Grace. The Australians went to the wickets at noon, and by 1:20 they were all out for 53 runs ‘were the bow It is estimate gathere Lohman and Richardson that 30,000 people have on the grounds before the play began. The spectators were astounded at the ccllapse of the visitors. Three English wickets fell for I8% runs, of which num- ber br. Grace made Struck n Pile. LONDON, June 22.—A dispatch from Henley to the Pall Mall Gazette says that Dr. W. S.

LIVERPOOL, June 22.—Britannia, Alisa and Satanita started this morning in the regatta of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club, off New Brighton, over a fifty-mile course, and for prizes of $400 for first and $10) for second. The weather was beautiful and a light northwest wind was blowing. At the start, which was made at 11 o’elock promptly, Britannia got away in the lead, with Ailsa slightly to windward of her and Satanita a length or two astern. The twenty-raters were started at a.m. Penitent got away first, follow: Niagara and the Saint. The prizes $luu and $25. FOUR LIGHT SHIPS. Arrangements for Their Constructio Made by the Treasury Department, The Treasury Department has arranged for the construction of four first-class light ships, provision for which was made in the last sundry civil bill. It is proposed to place one of these ships on outer Diamond shoal, off Cape Hatteras, in place of the proposed lighthouse that the engineering experts of the army have been designing for many years past. The location of a light vessel there will result not only in a saving of several hundred thousand dol- lars to the government, but it is believed will demonstrate that it is entirely feasible to anchor light vessels on the most stormy portions of the North Atlantic coast. Another new light vessel will be placed seven miles to the south of Fire Island, the first signal station to report vessels com- ing to New York from the east, and is to cost $5,000 less than the Diamond Shoal ship, for which an appropriation of $90,000 has been made. The third of the new light ships is to be located far out in the Pa- cific, to mark the entrance to San Francis- co, and will be cqually as exposed as that on Diamond shoal. The fourth will be for the New England coast. All of these ships will embrace the latest improvements in vessels of their kind, and are each to be provided with powerful 13- inch steam sirens, machinery for making harbor should they break from their moor- ings and the most powerful lenses that can be secured. ——— Marringe Licenses.

The Dowager Empress of China, Tsou-Hsi, was born in 1834, and became the wife of the Emperor I-Tchou, who reigned from 1850 to 1861. His son, Emperor Tsai- Tchoun, reigned from 1861 to 1875. Upon his death the present emperor succeeded, with the title of Kuang-Hsu, being then three years old. He is a nephew of Em- peror I-Tchou, and was adopted by the lat- ter's widow, Empress Tsou-Hsi, upon his svecession. He reigned under his adopted mother’s regency until 1889, when he as- sumed the sovereignty. The dowager em- press, nevertheless, continued to be a pow- er in China, and so continued up to the most recent information. Albert Rr eek dade ee t ¥ ¥ tells just what we do. tise it. time.

Two section rehearsals of the Christian Endeavor chorus will be held this week, the first one tomorrow evening and the regular Friday night rehearsal. Tomorrow evening the sections will meet in the following churches: Section A, Metropolitan Pr terian; section B, First Presbyterian; se tion C, Fifteenth Street Methodist, corner 15th ard R streets; section D, First Con- gregational. The new music that has been distributed among the members of the cherus will be practiced. Friday evening’s rehearsal will be the final one before the public concerts, which are arranged for June 29 and 30 and July 1 and 3, in Central Hall. Chairman Chas. S. Clark will visit each of the sections Friday and give them final instructions. Singing by the four sections of the cho- rus combined, 4,000 voices under one lead- er, will be heard only once during the convention next month, according to the program as at present determined. A pa- triotic vesper service is being arranged for on the steps of the Capitol Saturday afternoon, July Permission to use the grounds and steps of the building for this purpose has been granted by Vice Presi- dent Stevenson and Speaker Reed, who have directed the suspension, in this parti- cular instance, of the rules applying to gatherings in the grounds. The Official Program. The printing committee is hard at work now preparing to issue 100,000 copies of the official program. When completed the program will be an octavo volume of 96 pages, more than half of which will be taken up with the music to be sung at convenfion sessions. Heretofore this pro- gram has been printed in Boston, because the copy was prepared at the headquarters of the United Society of Christian En- deavor in that city. But this year a Wash- ington firm is to have the contract. The type will be set up in Boston, so that cor- rections and insertions or alterations can be made up to the iast minute; but the stereotyped plates will be expressed to this elty and the printing and binding will be done here. McGill & Wallace will do this part of the work. Already the plates for the music pages have been received, and are being blocked off, but those for the program proper will be late in arriving, and will have to be run off quickly. Every service to be held during the con- vention will be noted in the program, to- gether with the church or tentin which it is to take place, the subjects for discus- Wm.

It is a noticeable feature of the pro- grem that every session and each exercise in every session is timed. The hour for opening the service is noted, so many min- utes are allowed for preliminary praise ex- ercise, devotions are allowed so much time, each address is to be delivered within a fixed limit, announcements and sing: the chorus are provided for, and of closing stated in advance. Wh gates arrange to attend the servic a ne by” hour are reasonably certain that the m Will close promptly according to sche Those who have never attended Christian Endeavor conventions may be surprised that such a strict fidelity to the program is possible, but experience gained du previou annual gatherings has enabled the managers to do with comparatiy What is usually regarded as an extre difficult task. Schedule Will Be Adhered To. Secretary Baer, during his last visit to this city, was speaking of this matter, and his auditors were aimost incredulous whe he said that the sessions were never length- ered beyond the time set in advance u less some cf the officers of the United ciety did so on their own account. He said that those who took part in the mecting were never allowcd to prolong the service one minute. In each tent and at ev meeting place there was some one appoir ed to see that the time schedule was stric ly adhered to. Speakers were t fore the exercises that they w pected to conclude their addresses pi at the minute set. Within the spe rostrum is placed an electric buzz bell. The other end of the wire is attached to the desk where sits the timeke One min- ute before the speaker's time is up a warn- ing bell is rung, and in the remaining sixty seconds the speaker, if he is wise, sums up the salient points in his remarks, and is ready to give way to his successor when the second beli rings. It has been found that speakers cannot successful compete with an electric buzzer, and if they attempz to keep on with their address after time is up, the persistent bell is always a winner in the contest. 5 A feature of the convention to which Special attention will be given will be the holding of evangelistic services in all parts of the city, participated in by the visiting delegates themselves. Rev. D. W. Skel- lenger, pastor of the Sixth Presbyterian Church, is chairman of the subcommittee on evangelistic services, and meetings have been aranged for Soldiers’ Home, Fort Myer, the hospitals and asylums, the jail ard other places of correction, the steam- boat wharves, Bethany and Faith chapels, the Open Door Mission, street railroad ter- minals, and other available places. The Gespel wagons of the Central Union Mis- sion will be utilized for a number of out- door meetings, and noon meetings for bus ness men will be held every day at the Central Union Mission. ———_—.—__ Dived From the Eads Bridge.
