The base ball game between the nine of the bureau of engraving and printing and the Canterburys, which was to have been played yesterday afternoon, was put off to next Tuesday afternoon. The storm wreck- ed the National Park grounds so that it was Impossible to accommodate the players and spectators. The game is exciting great interest, as it involves the District amateur championship. The bureau nine are cham- pions of the Departmental League and the Canterburys are champions of the District League. The Temple Cup Games. In the opening Temple cup game today Hoffer will pitch. Corbett will pitch Fri- day and Pond Saturday. These are the probabilities. Cleveland will alternate Young end Cuppy, as usual. It has been the practice for Cuppy to pitch the opening geme. It is not known here how his in- jured finger is getting, but the players all pine Cuppy will be in the box against em. The Baltimore players will leave for Eng- land about October 14 or 15, Ted Sullivan left New York yesterday for England to prepare the way for them. The subscrip- tion among the people of Baltimore to de- fray a portion of their expenses will prob- ably be started today. All the men yester- day expressed themselves as feeling unu- sually well and ready to make a great try for the cup. The Pittsburg Base Ball Club is having a rough time on the exhibition tour. The nine has not been able to play a game, owing to the bad weather. The boys ex- pected to get $100 each out of the jaunt, but up. to date they have secured nothing but rain. Base Ball Benefit. Ford's Grand Opera House in Baltimore was packed to the doors last night with an enthusiastic crowd composed of many so- ciety people and base ball rooters, who at- tended the benefit performance tendered to Hanion’s pennant winners. The benefit is = estimated to have made $1,000 for the Orioles. Besides the regular vaudeville Performance and base ball specialties con- nected therewith, the spectators were treated ta a three-round sparring contest between the famous pugilist, James J. Cor- bett, and his boxing partner, Prof. McVey. Corbett was given an ovation when he went upon the stage, and when he had finished his wonderfully clever exhibition of scien- tific sparring the a was tumultuous. The Bal ore’s Benefit. The field sports¥ which are to take the form of a benefit to the Baltimore Base Ball Club at Union Park about October 12, was put on a soljd footing yesterday. The subcommittee, which has the bulk of the work to do, met at the Hotel Rennert and with little ado plunged into business. The chairman, Col. E. H. Wardwell, presided, and Mr. Wilmot Griffiss was made secre- tary. The program was arranged as follows: 1, Fungo batting, the distance to count and the ball to be sent between posts. 2. Long-distance throwing. 3.Accurate throw- ing. 4. Pitching contest. 5. Base running. 6 ll-yard dash. 7. 440-yard run. 8. Tug- of-war, battery players against fielders, two pulls over the line out of three to count. 9. Short base ball exhibition contest. Postponed Games. ‘The Chicago team, which has been wait- ing at Cincinnati to play the two remaining games in the series with the Reds, returned home last night. The two games were postponed on Sunday on account of rain and every day since that the inclement weather has interfered. Philadelphia‘s Reserve. The reserve list of the Philadelphia club includes the following: Nash, Clements, Gray, Boyle, Lajoie, Hallman, Cross, Hu- len, Delahanty, Thompson, Cooley, Geler, Mertes, Taylor, Orth, Carsey, Keener, Gumbert, Wheeler and Ellis. How many of these men will be on the Philadelphia club’s pay roll when spring practice begins is problematical. It is be- lieved in Philadelphia several will be made the basis of deals with other clubs during the winter months. The names on the re- serve list do not include those recently drafted from minor league clubs. Good Speed for Youngsters. The capital city district of the National Federation of American Homing Pigeon Fanciers held the second of the series of young bird races last Sunday, September 27, from Jarrett, Va., air line, 146 miles. The birds were liberated by the Southern express agent, J. C. Grigg, who telegraphed as follows: Birds liberated, 7 a.m.; light wind; little hazy. The following is the order in which re- turns were reported to Race Secretary A. C. McLain: W. H. Keyworth wins first and second diplomas, with 1,178 and 1,175 yards per minute; H. C. Wail, 1,109 yards er minute; H. K. Bliss, 1,153 yards; A. C. McLain, 1,152 yards; W. L. Gary, 1,064 yards, and W. R. Keyworth reported one bird day of toss. The club will race from their 200-mile station Sunday, October 4, and if they should have good results will fly the fol- lowing Sunday from the 300-mile station. ——.__ 1TS CAMPAIGN BOOK OUT. The Democratic Man is Quite an xhaustive Work. The democratic icampsign book has been received at the headquarters of the con- gressional committee from the printers. The first edition of the book is for 10,000 copies, but within a few days it Is expect- ed that one or two other editions will be ordered, making the total number of copies put in circulation 30,000 or 40,000. The campaign book was compiled by Rep- resentative McMillin and consists of a serles of arguments for Bryan and free silver, devoting but limited space to sta- tistical tables. It comprises 383 pages of printed matter, Including the index, and is one of the largest books of the sort ever gotten out by the democratic congressional ccmmittee. The largest book of the kind ever issued by the democrats was in 1888, when it numbered 654 pages. In 1886 it had 290 pages; 1800, 405 pages; 1892, 311 pages; 1894, 254 pages. The ‘republican campaign book has. been out a couple of months, but Secretary Lawrerce Gardner said today he thought the democratic publication was out suffi- ciently early for all practical purposes. In 1892 and 1884 the campaign book was not issued Lefore September, and in 1890 it was only two weeks before the campaign that the edition was received from the printers. On the inside of the cover of the book a map of the United States Is given show- ing the electoral vote of each state and the vote necessary to a choice in the electoral college. The bock opens with the Chicago platfcrm, followed by Mr. Bryan’s famous convertion speech. Then follows the no- tification speech of Gov. W. J. Stone at Madiscn Square Garden, speeches of ac- ceptance at Madison Square Garden of both the democratic candidates. A chap- ter is devoted to the “fundamental prin- ciples of democracy,” after which 113 pages are devoted to a discussion of the silver question. “‘McKinley’s record” is disposed of in twelve pages. The income tax 1s given thirty pages of the publication, while the Monroe doctrine and immigration laws are ccnsidered more briefly. Other chap- ters of the book are devoted to “Labor,” “Business Men's Campaign,” “Anti-Trust Provisions,” “Bonds,” “Pensions,” “Pub- lic Lands,” “‘Untaxing the Rich,” “Record of the Fifty-fourth Congress,” “The Tariff” and democratic clubs. The compiler of the campaign book paid especial attention to its index. There is an exisEded: analytical as well as alphabetical index. —___-e-+______ COURT-MARTIAL TRIALS, Facts From the Report of the Judge Advocate General. The annual report of Judge Advocate General G. Norman Lieber to the Secretary of War shows that during the past fiscal year there were 1,486 trials by courts-mar- tial in the army; twelve being in the cases of officers and cadets, which is a decrease of 242 as compared with the number of trials during the preceding year. The most general offense was “conduct to the preju- dice of good order and military discipline,” for which there were 262 convictions. The convictions for desertion numbered 255, which was one more than in 1895. The judge advocate general says that the re- ward for the apprehension of deserters is insufficient, and recommends an increase. He says that desertion has been on the in- crease since 1894, when the rewards were reduced, and the number of deserters who now escape without recapture is greater than formerly. In the way of legislation, he renews most of his former suggestions looking to the establishment of criminal jurisdiction over eertain military reserva- tions, the extension of the articies of war over discharged soldiers held as prisoners under court-martial sentence, and the im- provement of the buildings used for the confinement of miljtary prisoners, i MR. BRYAN’S JOURNEY YESTERDAY. 7s He Spoke at: Harper's Ferry and Martinsburg. Mr. Bryan was greeted with enthusiasm by a large crowd at Harper's Ferry yester- day. ee Mr. Bryan spoke from a stand erected on an embankment near the station. With Mr. Bryan were J. Li! McGraw, national com- mitteman of West Virginia; Andrew W. Miston, chairman ‘of the state committee; W.E. Chiiton, secretary of state; T. S. Riley, state attorney general; ex-Congressman John D. Alderson of West Virginia, Judge Samuel Woods, formerly of the state su- preme court; Col. J. N. B. Crim, ex-Judge W. T. Ice, W. T. Goggs, democratic candi- date for governor of West Virginia; W. C. Hanlon, Mr. James L. Norris of this city and ex-State Treasurer Thomas O’Brien of Wheeling. Mr. Bryan's speech was brief. The streets of Martinsburg were crowded when Mr. Bryan arrived at 11, nearly en hour late. Martinsburg is Senator Faulk- ner’s home, and the Senator was at the Bal- timore and Ohio station to greet Mr. Bryan, who was roundly cheered as he descended from the train. Mr. Bryan was taken in a carriage across town to the Cumberland Valley freight station, where, in a big open space, he delivered a speech, which he was obliged to cut short on account of the late- eed of the train. Fully 5,000 people heard im. Insure your plate glass with Yellott & Clephane, 008 14th street northwest, Washington, D. MARLBORO’S FAIR The Storm Did No Serious Injury to the Grounds. A JOINT DEBATE ON SILVER TheWashington Butchers’ Barbecue a Great Success. TODAY’S RAC E PROGRAM ae eee Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., October 1, 1896. The second day of the annual meeting of the Prince George’s county fair opened with from 4,000 to 5,000 spectators present. In spite of the severe storm, by 10 o'clock all damage which had been done was right- ed and everything went merry as a mar- riage bell. No great amount of damage was done on the fair grounds beyond the blowing over of several tents, some trees uprooted and decorations torn. In the sur- rcunding country great damage was done to crops, several barns blown over and the crops of tobacco already housed were ruin- ed; hay stacks were blown to pieces and scattered in every direction, trees uprooted, fencing torn to pleres and the roofs of several houses taken off. The havoc is re- ported as being general through the south- ern Maryland counties, and it was the most severe storm ever witnessed here. The rain of yesterday made the track muddy, but the high wind dried it so thoroughly that, by leveling and dragging yesterday morning, it was in fine condition for the races. It has been much improved during the past year by being subsoiled and re- surfaced at a cost of $1,500; other improve- ents on the grounds are the new dining hall, new stables, cattle and sheep pens and a new poultry house, with a special room for incubator work. Water facilities are gcod. The exhibits are all fine and better than ever before. At 10 o'clock occurred the cavalcade of all horses on exhibition, which extended around the entire track and pre- sented a fine appearance. In the standard bred stallion class the competition was very close bet n Medo Wilkes, owned by Dr. C. C. Carter of Washington, D. C., and Brote, the property of Dr. Richard S. Hill of Upper Marlboro’. The former was awarded the first premium. The Barbecue. The principal feature of yesterday was the free barbecue, given under the super- vision of the butchers of Washington Cen- ter Market. Mr. J. H. Busher had charg: of the arrangements, assisted by Messrs. Cc. D. Ebel, T. T. Keane and A. J. Reilly, the cutters being Messrs. Marshall Smith C. Steine, Chas. W. Weeks, and A. E. Phillips. Two mammoth cattle, weighing 1,600 pounds each, were slaughtered and roasted before a large and hungry crowd of spectators. The roast was pronounced fine. Over 5,000 loaves of bread were used. The Arlington Mounted Division, No. 9, of the Knights of Pythias, came down from Washington, and on their white horses and in full dress uniform presented a hand- some appearance. The command was un- der Capt. Charles M. Smith, with Pri Charles Weitzel, Jos. H. Harbin, Chari Fleishman, Charles Dodge, Thos. R. Nal. ley, George Bessler, J. E. Davis, Bowles, J. W. Leisler, W. R. Stor: Talks, E. G. Harden, Rudolph Thi Lieut. Geo. Lincoln of Washington Division. The fakirs, dime museums and catch- perny places were plentiful and drew large crowds, while the wheel of fortune won on the green star and distributed but litie free silver to the silverites of lover Mary- land. Joint Debate. Tomorrow there will be a joint debate on the fair grounds between Sydney E. Mudd and Robert Moss, the republican and dem- ocratic nominees for the fifth congressional district. Several of the clubs from different parts of the siate will be present as es- corts to the two candidates. This afternoon occurs the grand cham- pionship tournament of the state, when $100 will be given in cash prizes to the four successful knights. Capt. Heber Bos well will act as chief marshal.

The Letter Attorney General Har- mon on the Duties of His Off The attitude of the administration, cially the Department of Justice, w erence to the active participation of fede officials in political campaigns, is cle Gefined in a letter written by Attorney General Harmon to Francis R. United States attorney for the € trict of Virginia, accepting thd en's resignation. Mr. Lassiter is chairman of a campaign committee in his district and hes taken a prominent part in the political struggles in that state. On the imo the Attorney General called Mr. Las. siter’s attention to this matter and said Lassiter, that “while of course there is nothing in the holding of any office which can or should interfere with a man’s freedom of private opinion or personal peliticai action, he cannot, when either a candidate for an- other office or actively engaged in man- aging a campaign for others who are such candidates, avoid embarrassments and en: tanglements which necessarily interfere, or at least may be thought to interfere, with the proper discharge of his official dutie: In defense of his course, Mr. Lassiter sat that he had held the office of committee man of his district for seme time and was generally known as an active working dem- Gerat when appointed United States district attorney. He added that he saw nothing in his political conduct inconsistent with his obligations as an officer of the federal gov- ernment. Subsequently the Attorney Genet terney. The Attorrey Gene ever rule may prevail in other de it is well settled in this, as stated in my letter, that there is an impropriety in of- ficers like you acting as ¢ manage and conduct pol The reasous are som: they should not require more than a mere sug- gestion. é “The same reasons which are universally held to preclude judges from active partic- ipation in pclitical campaigns apply, though perhaps in somewhat less deg: to all officers concerned in the admi tion of justice. “Your political work necessarily brings you in direct contact with people of all classes, whose assistance you seek to sain or whose opposition you Seek to overcome. It is impossible for you to do and have done the work which devolves on members of a campaign committee, especially in times of high feeling and great excitement. without gathering a crop of friendly and unfriendly feelings which, as common ex- perience teaches, very often have an un- onscious influence on thought and action. It is more than likely that some of the per- sons with whom your political action so brings you in contact will be involved in your future official action. You may be able, as you think you are, to escape or re- press in what you do as an officer all effect of the recollections of your campaign work, but you will be utterly unable, especially in cases where your action may appear to co- incide with your supposed inclination. to make the community at large believe that your action has not been in any degree so affected. “As I told you, neither the rule nor its application are to be affected by the man or the circumstances involved in its appli- cation. Whatever political party or creed your actions should be exerted to support, the rule would be the same. “The question to which your letter refers a of inconsistency or impropriety in an off- | cer supporting, in any way, political move- ments which expressly condemn the ad- ministration of which he is a part, is one with which I do not now care to deai. It appears to me to be, at least so long as such support is confined to the mere expres- sion of his views or to voting, a matter to be left to the officer’s individual sense of propriety.” —__-e+___ TARIFF TO THE FRONT. Maryland Farmers Interested in the Question of Protection. The tariff is coming to the front in Mont- gomery county, Md., according to a cor- respondent of the republican congressional committee. Arthur M. Mace of Randoiph, Md., has writtén the following to Represen- tative Mercer: “Kindly send me some tariff, literature. ‘The question of protection is coming to the front among a number of our farmers, Wwho have heretofore been ardent free traders. Some have run up against Canadian pota- toes in the Washington market, and they haven't forgotten what was promised, pro- vided we had free wool. A number who have been spouting free silver are now say- ing they don’t know how to voie. They are doubtful. I firmly believe we caught a good portion of them on our side by working Bryan's tariff record for ali it is worth.
