The diplomatic correspendence for 1895. just shows that Mr. Breckin- ridx er to Russia, 1s ructions from the protest against the the United to vise passports of itizens going to Russia if they ned to be of the Jewish faith. Mr. worked hard to convince the st that this practice hment of an wu utional religious test In the United » but on each occasion he was met adroit responses that were difficult to published, United States mini occupied in executing in State Department to sian consuls answer, and at the point where the publi- cation closes he was obliged to bluntly 1n- form the Russian ernment that the United opera States could not acquiesce in the on of such foreign tribunais in the States. Mr. Breckinridge’s presen- f his case was formally approved tary Olney. ner subject that promises to give some trouble in the future engrossed much of the attention of the State Department and of Minister Breckinridge during the year. It was the absolute ins'stence of the Russian government upon its rights to pun- ish any Russian who falls into its power after hecoming a citizen of the United States or any other country. Such claims have been made for years past, but no pos- itive issue between the two countries was made until the arrest in Russia last year of Anton Yblkowski, a naturalized Amer- ican citizen, who entered Russia with his American passport all properly vised. As shown by the correspondence which ensued, Turkey and Russia are the only countries which, denying the right of their citizens to expatriate themselves, assert a right to punish them for so doing, and Turkey goes no further than to eject the offender from the country. The correspondence between the two governments on this subject was not only Yoluminous, but so spirited and assertive in places as to lead Minister Breckinridge to complain to Secretary Olney that Priace Lobanow's note to him had been lacking in courtesy. As the matter stands at the end of the correspondenée so far published, the Russian government rests firmly for its right to punish Russians who become United States citizens’ if they return to Russia. Secretary Olney is recorded as re- monstrating against the assumpt.on of this attitude by the Russian government, and as earnestly pressing for its-settlement by the negotiation of a naturalization treaty. Meanwhile, Mr. Breckinridge prudently suggests that proper warning be given to Russians naturalized in the United States to keep away from Russia. LEAGUE IN EARNEST President Young Gives Tnstructions Regarding Tebeau’s Case. =e See FINE MUST-BE PAID BY FOUR O'CLOCK ee See Senators Give the Browns a Severe Drubbing. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES President Young of the National Base Ball League today wired instructions to the umpire at Cleveland as to the course he should pursue in case the fine of $200. im- posed on Captain Tebeau of the Cleveland club. is 10t paid by 4 o'clock, when the time limit fixed by the league board explres. What these instructions are President Young refused to say. There is reason to believe that the um- pire will permit the game to be played sub- ject to protest by the visiting club. Mr. Young is consulting with other members of the league board on the case, and the legal proceedings arising out of it. will be fought w.th a determination to uphold throughout and to the end the action of the Leard in fining Tebeau. The court will be asked to set aside the temporary injunction restraining the league from collecting the fine. This accomplished, measures will be taken to compel its payment. Record of the Clubs.

After three straight defeats to Cincin- nati, the Washington Base Ball Club moved onward yesterday to St. Louis, and by superb playing won a decided victory from the Browns. “Silver” King demonstrated that he is thoroughly at home at tornado town in more senses than one, and held the home team down to four hits, while the Senators touched Donahue safely nineteen times. An error by O’Brien gave the Browns their only run. De Montreville, Joyce and Selbach each made a remarkable stop of a hard-hit ball, and King was very handy with the stick, being credited with a two-bagger and a pair of singles. On the bases the Senators worked scientifically, and, all in all, played ball as it should be played. ST. LOUIS. WASHINGTO: R.H.O.AE.

MERCER'S CHILD'S PLAY. Ie Was the Feature of Saturday's Game at Cincinnati. It is reported that Pitcher Mercer forced victory on the Cincinnati club Saturday. In addition to wild throws to bases, which allowed the Reds to secure gufficient runs to win out, Mercer is said to have suc- cumbed to the “jollying” of the crowd, and indulged in considerable child’s play. The score was: R.H.B. Cincinnati . 982 Washington +512 4 Notes. Washingtcy at St. Louis today. McJames will probably pitch. Tom Brown is suffering from an injured finger. De Montreville’s work at short is winning praise all along the line. Joe Suilivan played second base for St. Louis yesterday, Tommy Dowd having in- jured himself. ee will join the Baltimores Wednes- lay. Pittsburg’s share of the receipts for three games at St. Louis amounted to less than $125, not enough to pay railroad fare. Clarke is doing all the catching for Bal- timore and Is doing it well. Donnelly’s bat was very much in the game yesterday. ‘Tebeau’s time expires today. What will the league do if he declines to pay his fine’ is now the all-important question. The Chevy Chase team was easily de- feated at Rockville Saturday by the Rock- villes, the score being 19 to 6. The batter- les were Cummings, Brooke and Fugett for Chevy Chase, and Nicholson and Harris for Rockville. SHRINERS AT THE BAT. Representatives of Kismet Temple of Brookiyn in the City. Almas Temple, Ancient Arable Order of the Mystic Shrine, of this city and Kismet Temple of the same order from Brooklyn Will play a match game of ball this after- roon at National Park. The representa- tives of Kismet Temple arrived in this city last evening, and during the day today were shown the different points of interest in and around the city. About twenty nobles made up the party from Brooklyn, and they will do their best to down the team representing the temple of this city. The local team, however, is a strong ag- gregation, and there is every likelihood of the northern visitcrs striking a snag. The Kismet team will be made up from Nobles Hoffman, Seigmund, Reid, Davis, Belcher, Dykeman, Pugh, McMillan and Blair. LIGHT INFANTRY FIELD DAY. Good Sport Witnessed on the Athletic Park Track. The first annual field day of company C of the Washington Light Infantry was held Saturday afternoon at the Internation- al Athletic Park. The main interest was centered in the bicycle races, and it was thought by many that Sims and Schade would meet, but they were disappointed, as the latter is still down south attending race meets. Charles T. Cabrera, the crack sprinter of Columbian University, ran un- der the colors of the Columbia Athletic Club and won both the 100-yard run and the 440-yard run. In the individual drill for National Guard members Sergt. Claxton won after a cru- cial test. There were a good many entries, but the number gradually diminished untti only three men were left, and they mem- bers of the Morton Cadets. The last two were Sergt. Shilling and Sergt. Claxton, and the former lost because he neglected to lower the sight on his gun at the command to cease firing. In the bicycle races the mile novice was declared no race, a time limit of 2.40 being Placed, while the actual time made by the winner, H. W. Clum, was 3.14. In the two-mile handicap there was con- siderable dissatisfaction, and the referee, Mr. E.-E. Simpson, ruled Fred Sims out because he claimed that pace was accepted from his brother Billie. Stms was scratch man, with the limit man 275 yards ahead of him, yet he won the race in magnificent style. Because of the fact that for two laps he rode behind his brother the referee decided that he was being paced, and ac- cordingly ruled him out. A summary of the events follows: One-mile novice—No race. One-hundred-yard dash—First heat: C. T. Cabrera won; F. T. . Second, and Philip Tindall, third; time, 0.10 2-5. Second heat: J. B.

THE REALIZATION STAKES. Requital Wins the Rich Prize at Sheepshead. The gross value of the Realization stakes run off Saturday at the Sheepshead Bay track was $22,165. Of this sum $17,605 fell to the lot of the winner, $3,000 went to the second horse, and $1,500 to the third. Six three-year-olds took part in it. They were Requital, top weight, at 119 pounds; Hast- ings, 118, and ferry Prince, 110; Counsellor Lowe, 109, and Peep o’ Day and Formal, 107 pounds each. Hamilton II declined the issue. His withdrawal gave a shadow of credence to a rumor that his owner and the officials had disagreed as to the impost to be ca:ried. Tne reasoa of Hamilton I} beng withdrawn was that “Pittsburg Phil” did not think him quite wound up for so rous- ing a contest as the Realization promised to be. Requital oper.ed and closed the choice for the big event The inclosure posted even money against him at the outset. As the public wagered its money freely about each of the half dezen members of the field, the layers felt in generous mood and advanced Requital to 6 to 5. The Blemton stable’s pair, Hastings and Merry Prince, coupled, ruled a steady second choice throughout at 8 to 5; Counsellor Howe closed at 7 to 1, Peep o’ Day at 15 toi, and Formal at 2 to . ‘There was no parade going to post. Sims cantered Peep o’ Day out of the paddock al- most before the bugler had blown out the last notes of his “boots and saddle” call. Littlefield and Formal speedily followed, and then, after a minute's delay, came Re- quital. The winner of last season’s Futurity received a hearty recognition from the crowd as he jogged by the grand stand. Merry Prince and Hastings were next to show. The conqueror of Handspring was almost as warmly applaude® as Requital had been. When Counsellor Howe, piloted by Doggett, passed the colt’s namesake offered to wager a fabulous sum that the Counsellor would not fetch up the rear at the finish. As there were no takers, Mr. Howe did not lose anyghing outside of what he had wagered in the betting inclosure. Away to an Even Break. The field was not at post five minutes. Formal broke up one start, and Hastings an- other, before Flynn caught Hastings in the act of wheeling and threw his flag. Formal, Peep o’ Day and Hastings went away at the signal heads apart, and the remaining three were cleverly aligned not half a length back. In the run to the main track, just about a quarter of a mile, Formal led Merry Prince a head. The Prince was full of run, and Ballard was apprehensive that he was going too fast, judging from the glances he cast in John Hyland's direction. No restraining wrders were signaled, and when Ballard eased the colt a mite he pass- ed Formal @ neck, and was then content to rate along enjoying that slight advan- tage. Passing the stand, Merry Prince led Formal, as above scribed. res pace of a length away le Hastings and Re- quital, half a lengti apart, the latter a neck to the gooa of Peep o’ Day and Coun- sellor Hows.

Requital Shows His Quality. ‘The pace grew terrific, and Formal and Counsellor Howe were first done for. As this pair compounded Clayton rounded up the Blemton stable’s coyple and showed the way into the home strgtch by a wholesome generous length. Griffin drove Hastings af- ter him in second position, with Merry Prince at hi stable companion’s heels. At the last furlong Requital was swinging along on a two-lengths’ advantage, and Hastings was floundering about, a weary second. It was then that Peep o’ Day shot out of the dust cloud. Coming down the middle of the track he closed up the half dozen lengths which separated him from Hastings in almost 88 many bounds and went after the leader. Clayton saw Sims coming, gave Requital @ word of encourage- ment, and the grend* Brookdale colt sped away and won ey a big open gallop from Peep o’ Day by three lengths. Peep o’ Day was five lengths in advance of Merry Prince, who beat out Hastings a head. Formal finished fifth and Counsellor Howe last. Requital and Peep o’ Day finished as though they were old school four-milers. The other four were greatly exhausted. Fractional time of the Realization was: First furlong, 0:13 1-5; quarter, 0:25; three furlongs, 0:38; half mile, 0:51; five furlongs, 2-5; six furlong: seven fur- longs, 1:30; mile, 1:43 2-5; mile and a fur- long, 1:56 2-5; mile ond a quarter, 2:10; mile and three furlongs, 31-5; mile and a half, 2:37; mile and five furlongs, 2:49 2-5. TO RACE BALTIMOREANS, Washington's Team for the Coming Contests Selected. The Washington team for the races with the Baltimore team has practically been decided upon, and for this reason there was no trial race at International Athletic Park Saturday afternoon to fill the first place. All along it has been thought that Schade and Sims would be two sure mem- bers of the team, with Greer the third man. It now transpires that Schade cannot, un- der the rules of the racing board, represent the District, as he is a Virginian and holds the Virginia championship. If he were placed on the team the Baltimore people would protest, so they have intimated, and there is no doubt the protest would be sus- tained. Greer, while a good rider, has not been in training to be in good shape. As practically agreed upon, the Washington team will consist of W. F. Sims, Billie Sims and George S. Ball, with Greer most hhkely as a substitute. Another substitute will be selected, though no decision has been reached as yet. The first race of the series will come off Saturday, and be held at the Park Cycle track at Baltimore. The Washington team is expected to make -a good showing, and arrangements will be made to carry over a large representation of Washingtonians to witness the race. The second race of the series will be held iv this city July 30, which will be the field’ day of the local or- der of the Knights of, Pythias. COLUMBIA’S REGATTA, — > Composition of the: Crews That Will Row Wetinesday. The entries for the gegatta to be given by the Columbia Athléfic Club next Wed- nesday are about made up, and a series of eaciting and close finishes may be look- ed for.

In the second race Sam Boyle, captain of the University of Pennsylvania eight, that recently rowed so gamely at Poughkeepsie, will stroke one crew and Carter the other. ‘The last race wil) be for.single sculls, and Moar will be pitted against Sam Boyle. After the races a hop wil] be given at the club Rouse. . Fischer Wins the Buffalo Cup. Edwin P. Fischer of New York captured the Buffalo Tennis Club's handsome chal- lenge cup in the last match of the annual epen tournament, which ended Saturday ufternoon. He defeated Leo E. Ware of Harvard in the final round, after one of the most exciting matches on record. Neel, the western champion, who won the cup last »eason, defaulted in the challenge round for it. The final score follows: Championship singles, final round—Edwin P, Fischer of New York beat Leo E. Ware of Harvard—7, 6—3, 6; T, 10-8. Wheeled From Cleveland to Pittsburg Louis Gimm won the Cleveland-Pigtsburg road race Saturday. He covered the 130% miles in 19h. 9m., beating his own record of a year ago by nine minutes. Ralph Walter, also of Cleveland, was second. He came in eighteen minutes after Gimm. J. A. Craw- ford of Beaver finished third. There were forty-nine starters in the race. Achievement. DENVER, Col., July 13.—Mrs. A. E. Rich- ard, an enthusiastic wheelwoman of this city, has achieved distinction by riding ten centuries in then days. a a THE A. P. A. POSITION. Said the Orgnnization Will Not Take Sides in the Election. President Echols of the Supreme Council of the Americar Protective Association was asked this morning by a Star reporter how the Chicago nomination would be accepted by that order. “We are about in the same position we have been all along,” said Col. Echols. “Neither party has come out along our line of principles, and we have about as much to hope for from one as from an- other. We will take no part as an organ- ization in the fight between the parties, other than we shall take a look into the reccrds of the candidates to see how they stend toward our order. “Each man must find out for himself what these records haye been and then de- cide for himself how he will vote. The past records of men are the best indica- tions of how they wilt act in the future. That is always the case, and the mem- bers of our order can judge as between the present candidatde’ for themselves. It behooves each member-of the order to make an investigation, + “As supreme presigients I hold that the principles dominating our order are more important for the genetal welfare of the country, present or future, than the prin- ciples upon which the two leading parties have Joined issue. It.is the duty of our or- ganization to see that gur principies are kept ever to the front.” It is hinted among other prominent A. P. A. officials here that,there will be consider- able individual antagonism to the election ef Bryan on the ground,that he voted for sectarian and Indiap, appropriations while in Congress. His record,aiong that line will be freely’ circulated, throughout the coun- try, and is expected ;{o rally many A. P. A. men against him. © ee a Italian Cabinet Resigns. The cabinet which was formed by the Marquis di Rudini just four months ago has resigned. The cabinet Saturday re- jected the proposa] submitted by Gen. Ri- cotti for a reduction of the numerical strength of the army, whereupon Gen. Rti- cotti, minister of war, at once offered his resignation. In view of the action of Gen.

WITH Notes of the Western Trip of the Club. LOUISVILLE ATTACK ON O'BRIEN Attempt to Satisfy the Disgruntled Patrons. THAT PITTSBURG WHITEWASH Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 11, 1896. John O’Brien, the Senators’ second base- man, is catching it right and left from the Loutsville press, which pretty generally in- timates that he was a disorganizer, not on speaking terms with anywhere from two to eight players and on terms of enmiiy with George Miller. He was also charged with having been taken out of a game at Chicago because McGunnigle “could not trust him.” No doubt the greater part of these stories is meant to square the Louis- | ville management with the local public. ‘The Pittsburg papers republished all of these stories with a great deal of gusto. | Now, nearly every one of the Pittsburg players was anxious to have O’Brien on that team, and Mack went so far as to of- fer Beckley and a “consideration” for him. The Washington club's success in signing him has disappointed a good many smoky city base ball men, and therefore their alacrity to stir up the whyfores of the deal. It will be difficult to make any one who knows O'Brien believe that he was in any sense a disorganizer in the Colonels’ camp. He said yesterday there was not a word of truth in the stories. “I have no better friend than George Miller in the profes- sion,” he remarked, “and as for players not speaking to me, that is all nonsense.” When Miller was signed by the Louisville club, O'Brien was the first man to write, congratulating the management and asking that Miller be given the captaincy. The change was not made tntil McGunnigle took hold, and O’Brien was thoroughly glad to get rid of the trying position. The Chicago story is a yarn pure and simple, as O'Brien was hit on the elbow by a pitch- ed ball and retired from the game at his own request. There was no reduction in his selary when the captaincy was trans- ferred. O’Brien laughs at all these stories, and has gcod cause, for It is a most rea- sonable supposition that no sane man would hanker after the responsibility of pulling the Colonels out of last place with the material then on hand. O’Brien is one of the most gentiemanly, quiet and pleas. ant men in the profession. He is a Cana- dian by birth, though he has lived in Maine the greater part of his life. He is tmmense- ly pleased to play with the Washington club, and as soon as he becomes familiar with the style of his comrades he will put up @ game hard to excel. His two errors in Pittsburg were in a great measure due eens in the mud while fielding the Le “Tim” Hurst received columns of censure from Pittsburg jourrals for the little affair at Washington last Monday. He was cal ed everything, from “blackguard” down, and threatened with all sorts of dire dis- aster if he ever came to Pittsburg. When he walked out on the field yesterday the crowd looked twice to make sure their eyes did not deceive them; one man went so far as to applaud him, and the rest in their surprise forgot to make even a sign of disapprobation. The Washington club's second and last western trip opened in Pittsburg inauspi- clously indeed. While the one-sided score of 19 to 0 tells its own forceful tale, there is very lttle doubt that the score could have been kept within reasonable Itmit had Capt. Joyce's men not made the mis- take of playing for a called game on ac count of rain after the second inning. The! weather conditions, with the addition of a cold, raw wind, were almost exactly those prevailing in Washington last Monday, and the home club, as then, had a lead of | 6 to 0. Perhaps Hurst is the only umpire in the league who will say “play” in bad weather, but the game once started, as re- cent experience in Washington should have taught, he will not tolerate dilatory tactics nor stop the sport for anything short of a Geluge. As the final result proved, the first Inning was enough to defeat the Sen- ators, and the play-for-rain policy only helped to make the score of Mack's Pirates larger. Still, the manner in which Joyce and his colleagues lingered for rain was the smoothest thing seen on a Pittsburg dia- mond. First Lush was “hurt” ir stopping a grounder, and “Connie” Mack made sev- eral frantic round trips from right field to the umpire before he recovered. In the fourth De Montreville disappeared in search of “another belt.” Hurst went after him on a trot. Then Gene’s glove was lost, and finzlly, when the game was ready to go on Mercer had some trouble in finding his glove. With a slight stretch of tmagi- nation, the reasons for delay were legitl- mate enough, though the Pirates fussed nd fumed. After the deciding fifth was cver the rooters duplicated last Monday’s howl of joy at National Park. After the fifth Mercer simply lobbed the ball over the plate, and the only feature of Abbey's closing work in the box can be summed up in the delivery of one deceptive curve ball that crashed into Sugden’s cranium while he was hitting at it. Washington landed on the ball hard and often, but Pittsburg fielded phenomenally, a one-handed catch by Donovan off Abbey being another one of “the finest catches ever seen on the grounds.” The Senators may be rated as good mud horses, but Pittsburg mud has a Gepressing influence on those not used to it. To be shut out for-the first time this sea- | son, and by Pitisburg, is rather humlliat- ing. A more determined, confident and well-conditioned set of ball players than were the Senators when they stepped on the field at Pittsburg yesterday it would be hard to imagine, and they received the worst defeat of the season. But such are the fortunes of base ball. It 1s easy to see why the Pittsburg hall park is not to the liking of most play- ers. With hills rising to the height of sev eral hundred feet at the north and south ef it, and Pittsburg smoke hanging almost constantly over it, it is, especially during threatening weather, a rather gloomy place. It 1s situated on the old exposition grounds in Allegheny, but ten minutes’ ride from the business center of Pittsburg. Its ncighbors on the west are the fine new exposition buildings. On the east is a big, open field, where formerly exposition buildings stood. Back of the grand stand are several blocks of mediocre buildings, and beyond these is Monument Hill, with its big soldiers’ monu- ment! and, though this eminence is half a mile distant, on days of games it is lined with spectators, who are satisfied to see only the in and out-fielders. Out beyond center field the Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio rivers join forces, and the latter stream finds its source. Two large bridges, more mountains, dotted with suburban villas, complete a bird's-eye view from the stand. The park boasts of a big grand stand, a little the worse for age and smoke. Three towers and a row of boxes—some- thing like the temporary affairs we had at Washington—rising from the tar and gravel- covered roof, lend a little embellishment. Pittsburg is a great grand stand town— probably because there are few other places to sit. The fifty-cent seats are uncovered bleachers on the right and left of the big stand, and hold about 1,000 each. But to look at the game from the twenty-five-cent bleachers ts simply a dream—for a short- sighted man. I doubt if the few boards crowded into an angle of the far-away cen- ter field fence hold 300 spectators. They are so far distant from the backstop that yesterday, with their few occupants, they locked for all the world like one of those “knock-down- three - dolls - and-get-a-half- dollar” arrangements at our pleasure re- sorts. A splendid score board forms part of the right field fence. On this are posted not only the results by innings in big paint- ed figures, but also the names of pitchers and umpires. It is such a big affair that a ladder, running on a trolley, is employed by the official poster. This board is evidently only for the convenience of the rich; it is not within the line of the bleacherites’ vision. Taken all in all, grounds, stands, bleachers and general comforts, Pittsburg is out- | rivaled by the younger league member at the capital. I saw nothing of those wonder- ful boiler-platé rooters in Pittsburg we hear so much about. A change in the batting order is being agi- tated among members of the Washington club. Not a few people are with them in the opinion that a rearrangement would prove beneficial. J.A.H.

IN COMMAND a THOSE The fourth and last run of the Chris- tian Endeavor convention will start to- morrow morning at 5:45 o'clock sharp from in front of the Executive Mansion. The run is not expected to be as well at- tended as the previous runs, for the rea- son that it is advertised to be for good riders only The total distance of the run is placed at nineteen miles, with a time Mmit of two hours on the trip. While ‘the run can be made easily in that time, it will give but a short allowance for sightseeing, and the chances sre that the visitcrs will have out little opportunity to enjoy the scenery and sights on the run, becavse of the fact that most of them are expected to return in time to attend the early morning mecting services. The run will be under Captain J. G. Muir and Lieutenants Harry G. Kimball and John Stewart, with their staff and full complement ef aids. This will be one of the most interesting runs of the series, it is to be regretted that the time seeing trip. The objective point of the run is Glen Echo, Chautauqua and Cabin John bridge. i The Route. The route will be out Pennsylvaniagave- nue to 28th street, north to N street, thence east to 35th, north to New Cut road, thence out to the Conduit, to Cabin John bridg>. The return trip will be made over the Con- duit road to the Canal road, and out M street to the point of starting. Though the | emyjoy. é distance is over only three roads, it is not | C.vlOyment to American labor. only the longest of any, but it goes through the most picturesque scenery in this sec- | taking in the whole | tion of the country, Palisades of the Potomac. The condition of the road needs hardly any mention. From the point of starting up to 35th and T strets, or New Cut road, there is nothing but asphalt pavement. The New Cut road is macadamized the whole distance, and while the whole road is in geod ridable condition, the cyclists will find the upper haif slightly better riding than the first half. The Conduit road is all right, and the visitors will enjoy its good surface. On the upper trip they will only have one hill on the road to climb, and that | the Dalecarlia hill, while to counterbalance it they will descend ‘‘Featherbed lane,” or stony hill, as a good many cyclists term it. On the return trip, while Stony hill will have to be climbed, there are two other equally as steep hills which can be coasted down. Out on the Canal road will be the first stretch of bad road encountered, but as this is only a fraction of a mile in length, it will not be felt so bad. Points of Interest. The points of interest on the trip are nu- merous. First cf all the scenery is magnifi- cent, and all the beauties of nature will have a better appearance in the early morning than later in the day. The dis- tributing reservoir, with its neat white- washed picket fence, will be passed both going and coming, and likewise a receiving or Dalecarlia reservoir, which is supposed to hold enough water to supply the city for three days in case anything should happen to the conduits which supply the city with drinking water. A number of magnificent private residences will be passed in the suburbs. Just the other side of the re- eiving reservoir and above the second road house the visitors will see the dam across the river, built roughly of stone, which supplies the Georgetown level of the Ches- apeake and Ohio canal with water. Pretty Sycamore Island will also be ed, but the visitors will hardly have time to in- spect the beauties of this place. and bare- ly catch a glimpse of the island on their ride. Glen Echo is one of the main points of the ride, and the visitors will go through the grounds on a tour of inspection. The rustic architectural beauty of the front en- trance buildings will first catch their eye, and then a trip will be made to the large and handsome amphitheater. The costly or- gan which is located in the place is under- going repairs, but, if possible, the organ will be opened up, end most likely prayer meeting services will be inaugurated in the large place. After inspecting the grottos beneath the amphitheater the visitors will make a flying visit to the Hall of Philoso- phy and the Red Cross Hall, after which they will mount their wheels and proceed to Cabin John’s bridge. Cabin John and Return. At Cabin John’s perhaps the longest stop of the trip will be made. The visitors will inspect the bridge ard marvel at the work- manship which constructed the longest sin- gle-span stone bridge in the world. The structure was finished in 1861 and is 220 feet in length. They will also be taken in- side the bridge and get a glimpse of the conduit which conveys the water supply to this city. The inscription stone will also attract attention in the fact that there is a blank space left opposite the name of the Secretary of War. In this space was originally carved the name of Jefferson Davis, but on account of his connection with the southern confederacy it was siricken out. On the return trip, if there is time, a stop will be made at International Athletic Park, and here the visitors will be given a chance to ride over the few third-of-a-mile track aed inspect the park. On the road ji after leaving the park a good glimpse is secured of Chain bridge, with the back- ground of the Virginia tree-covered hills | { j | ! 1 j distrust. and the hotel occupying a prominent posi- tion on the brow of one. Coming down the Canal road hill, after crossing the tracks of the Great Falls electric road, a pretty view is secured of the Aqueduct bridge and the river front of Weshington. > NATIONS FINANCIAL HONOR, + MeKinicy Declares It Must Be Preserved. It was less than an hour after adjourn- ment of the Chicago convention Saturday when the Thirty-second Ward Foraker Club of Cleveland arrived in Canton, Ohio, 300 strong, with their wives and daughters. They marched at orce to Gov. McKinley's residence. After President D. H. Lueas had made a presentation address, Gov. Mc- Kinley said: “Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, and My Fellow Citizens: It gives me very reat pleasure to welcome you to my home city and to my home, and I appreciate snore than I can find words to express the honor and the compliment of this call.
