Mr. George Curzon in Reply Claimed ‘That the Seals Are in No Im- mediate Danger. In the house of commons yesterday in the cours: of the debate on the foreign office vote, Sir Charies Dilke, radical, “The gravest foreign question at the present moment grows out of our relations with the United States, and if the matter is not dwelt upon ij is because the govern- ment is ccnscious that in these difficuit matters it cannot count upon the support of the entire house.” Gecrge Curzon, under secretary for for- cign affairs, replying to Mr. Michael Davitt, nti-Parneltite, in the house of commons, id the government was convinced that the seals in Bering sea were in no immi- nent danger at present. Correspondence which has passed on the subject I n the two governments would be presented in due time to the house, but probably not before the close of the pres- ent session. He safd that the expert in- vestigatioas were being continued. ‘'wo British gunboats were employed in those waters in 1895, three were sent in 1806 and two this y The admira!ty had been ked whether a third could be spared for ice there. ited States, on the other hand, employed no gunboats, but sent six reve- > cutters in 1895, six in 1896 and five this year. Mr. Curzon said also that some delay at- tended the completion of the report of the British commission, but the government had uever contemplated holding it back until the publication of the American re- port. The British government had declined, he added, the request of the United States for a confer-nce to consider more adequate regulations to prevent the extermination of seals, as such a conference would be pre- mature until the experts now engaged in collecting statistics shall have completed their work. The agreement made in 1894 forbade the use of firearms by British sealers in the Bering sea, but it was found in practical experience that these prohibitions were rot effective in protecting the sealers from unnecessary interference and in 18% the government decided not to renew the agree- ment. The regulations urder the Paris award did not contain, said Mr. Curzon, a pro- vision forbidding sealers to be in the pos- sessicn of arms, but arrangements were made by which vessels clearing direct from British Columbia were furnished with cer- tificates that they had no firearms on board, while for vessels on the Asiatic side arrangements were made whereby they deposited their arms at some rendezvous before entering the sea. The delay in the completion of Prof. Thompson’s report was due partly to his professional duties and partly to the ne- cessity of awaiting the arrival of certain notes and information which he had asked Mr. Macoun, the dominion agent, to furnish him. Mr. Curzon described the Pheasant as a first-class gunboat and the Wild Swan as a sloop. ——_—___-e-__ It matters little what it is that you want ywhether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need. ——-.— CORPSE AT A WEDDING. Bride Holds the Hand of Her Dead Mother. From the Norwich, Conn., Bulletin, Wedded in the room of death, with her hand clasped to that of a corpse, was the termination Wednesday night of the court- ship of Sarah Griswold Fitch and Francis Hilthouse. Mr. Hilthouse is a New Yorker, descended of the old Connecticut family of that name, and the wedding was to have taken place October 12 next, the fortieth anniversary of the marriage of Miss Fitch's mother, and a brilliant event was expected, but Mrs. Fitch died on Monday. TRIBUTES OF RESPECT. Eulogies by District Bar Upon Life Henry Wise Garnett. A very largely attended meeting of the members of the District bar was held at the city hall, at 3 o'clock yesterday after- noon, at which resolutions eulogistic of the life and memory of the late Henry Wise Garnett, a distinguished member of the local bar, were adopted, an tributes of respect paid by several attorneys in elo- quent addresses. Mr. Wm. A. Maury was selected to preside over the meeting, and in accepting the honor, feelingly referred to Mr. Garnett’s character and attainments. Upon the motion of Mr. Walter D. Dav- idge, a committee of seven was appointed to prepare resolutions expressing the sen- timents of the meeting, and the followin: were designated: Messrs. Walter D. Da idge, Henry E. Davis, Enoch Totten, R. Ross Perry, A. S. Worthington, Wm. A. Gordon and Samuel Maddox On behalf of the committee, Mr. Davidge presented the following report, which was unanimously adopted: In the death of Henry Wise Garnett the bar of the District of Columbia has suf- fered a serious loss. It is the more ktenly felt because it is untimely. In the due course of nature many more years of use- ful and honorable activity seemed to lic before him. We, his surviving brethren of the bar, assembled to testify fo our appre- ciation of his life and of its attainments, discharge a duty to ourselves as well as to him in thus declaring our judgment of his character and our grief at his death. In our opinion, the pre-eminent example of Henry Wise Garnett’s life was its large, brave and honorable vity. Coming to the bar at an early age, he soon gave evi- dence that he understood the full measure of responsibility which professional life de- mands. He married after he had been but a few years in active practice. Thus he as- sumed at the threshold of his career all of those duties which society imposes upon those whose energy, intelligence and in- tegrity constitute her very heart's blood. He never failed in the discharge of those duties. Professionally, he was always cqual to any demand that was made upon him. In ability, among the firsi; in courage, never failing; in restless activity, unceas- ing; he was the embodiment of those qual- ities which are at once the requirement and the honorable characteristic of the advo- cate. In private life he was, as might have been expected from his conduct in public, a dutiful son, a devoted nusbani, a tender father, a generous and loyal friend, a g00d citizen. He manfully did his part among life's workers. He has gone to his well- earned rest with his task fully, freely, gladly done. We sympathize with che family of our deceased brother in their sorrow, and we trust that they may he comforied by the memories which a well-spent life le: as a tender solace and an enduring heritage. It is ordered that the United States at- torney present these resolutions to the courts for appropriate action, and that a copy of them be sent to ine family of the deceased. In moving the adoption of the resolutions, Mr. Davidge referred to Mr. Garnett as a man who was zealous, honoravle and in- dustrious at all times in the interests of his clients. Mr. Perry characterized him as a soldier, who had died at his post in the height of battle, and had been borne home on his shield. Mr. Davis, in a voice at times choked by his emotion, said he had known Mr. Garnett all his life, they having been playmates in their youtn, and he never knew a man of more nofli courage or of greater purity. Mr. Worth- ington referred to the fact that he and Mr. Garnett had been invariably opponents, not only in the practice of their profession, but also in their political beliefs, yet, he re- marked, nothing hai ever occurred to de- stroy the high regard and sincere respect he had entertained for the man from the first. He was one of the bravest, most honorable men he had ever met. Those present at the meeting were: Messrs. Wm. J. Miller, 'T. H. Callan, Leon Tobriner, Wm. A. Meloy, Milton C. Bar- nard, Chapin Brown, Wm. H. McKinney, James S. Edwards, Nathaniel Wilson, C. H. Cragin, John J. Dolan, A. B. Duvall, Wm. G. Johnson, Geo. C. Meigs, EK. H. Thomas, A. A. Birney, Henry P.

Loalsville V7 85 236 The cherry pie at Louisville was not to the Senaters’ liking yesterday, and so-they refused to cut it, the: Colonels coming back at the visitors good and hard, having easy picking themselves, the score being 6 to 2 in the Colonels’ favor. Frazer was in the box for the Louisvilles and held the Sen- ators down to six hits. This twirler has frequently been solved very easily by the Washington club, but he was in good form yesterday and kept the hits from being made when they would have driven runs over the plate. McJames was on the rub- ber for the Senators and was hit for six safeties in the first two innings, but two more being registered off of his delivery in the last seven. Jimmy's good work came too late to help the Washingtons, as five nice and julcy runs had deen driven over the plate In the two innings that the doctor was kiting. Both clubs played good all, but one error being made by the Senators and not a single misplay being chalked against the Colonels. In the first inning Clarke singled and Mc- Creery followed suit. Wagner sacrificed the runners up a base, and Stafford's beauty to left drove them over the piate. Jim then stole second and went to third on Werden’s hit, and then came home when Wilson drove a fly into Wrigiey’s hands in deep right. Werden came home on Dolza’s single. In the second inning one more run came the Colonels’ way. Clarke fit to center for two bases and stole third. Weg- ner went to first_on balls and started to steal second. McGuire fginted to throw to second and then turned and threw to Reilly, the latter dropping the ball and allowing Clarke to score. In the eighth, the Colonels secured their sixth and last run on McCreery’s base on balls, a steal and a safe hit by thé folléwing baiter. The Senators’ first run came in the eighth. Reilly singled toycenter and went to third on two wild pitchcs and a third wild pitch sent him, bome. In the pinth their last run came over the plate. 3el- bach went to, first on balls, second on Wrigley’s out, and 'yore'on Reilly's single. LOUISVILLE. WASHIXGTON.

The ball team of Almas Temple, Mystic Shriners, will meet the team of Boumi Temple of Baltimore Thursday on the ball field at National Park. Almas Temple's nine plays an annual game at National Park with some visiting team, that is the event of the year. The letter sent dut by Almas Temple to its members says: “Recent practice games have developed the fact that excellent talent exists among the nobles of the temple, and a fine exhibi- tion is promised. Arrangements have been made for a detail of police to properly guard the umpire, and Emergency Hospital ambulances will ‘be im attendance to dis- pense arnica, bay rum, etc. If you attend it will not be one for the potentate this time, but will be substantial support to the base ball committee, which has done good service for the Arab patrol fund. Bring your best girl, if you have one; otherwise hustle and get one by the 22d instant. Let the visiting nine be given a rousing welcome.” Base Ball Notes. ‘The Washingtons play their second game at Louisville today, with King on the card to pitch. The Pittsburg-Brooklyn game at Pitts- burg was postponed on account of rain. Dolan, the ex-short stop of the Louts- villes, rejoined the club yesterday, his arm regaining its oid-time strength, and he was assigned to second base. His playing was the feature of the game. Wagner, the ex-Paterson Atlantic League player, joined the Louisvilles yesterday, and, although an infielder, was assigned to guard the center garden and did well, taking care of everything that came his way. ight thousand persons saw the Cincin- natis bite the dust yesterday, but two more games with the Bostons, with Nichols out ot the way, may prove more to their liking. Capt. Tom. Erown has filed another pro- test with President Young, this time Jim my Wolf, the substitute umpire at Loui ville, being the man selected as a mai From the reports telegraphed from Lou! ville it looks as though the protest woul amount to about as much as protests usu- ally do—nothing. President Young last night announced that Umpire Lynch had tendered his resig- nation owing to ill health. Umpire M Dermott, who has been ill, will resume duty at once. The deal for the exchange of Third Base- man Donnelly for George Shock is oft. Manager Barnie notified Manager Donovan yesterday that he had decided to recede from his proposition. Barnie says he bought George Creamer from Pittsburg about twelve years ago for $400, and Creamer died inside ef a weck. Therefore, he wants to be sure about players hereaf- te “We'll win that pennant all right,” says Joe Kelley. “Boston doesn't frighten us a bit, but we're a little afraid of New York. When the Giants get back home those two pitchers will make things awfully interest- ing for visitors.”"—Chiecago Tribune. ‘The chance for cup money makes heroes of ball players. Herman Long is one of the pluckiest players that ever donned a uniform. He has a sore hand, which causes him excruciating pain every time he makes a catch or hits the ball with the bat. Even with those handicaps, he plays a good game. Were the Boston club in the second division Long would be in the hospital, where he belongs. Herman forgets the pain which his sore hand causes him, as he figures out his prospective proportion of the Temple cup series of 1897. 33 At this stage of last year’s race the New York club cut a sorry figure. They ri = tenth. Now they have pennant prospects and Temple cup possibilities. Rusie’s re- turn to its service is largely responsible for this, His value to the team consists net alone in the strength he adds to the pitch- ing department, but the confidence he im- parts to his feliew players. Tact and firm- hess are necessary to the successful han- dling of ball players. The league mag- nates, after resolving to stand by the New York club, and going so far as to engage counsel to fight Rusie’s suit, paid the fines which he protested against, met his de- Juands for salary tor 1 satisfied his lawyers and settled the case out of court. The result has meddle Now New York has a bal! club which is worthy of the metropolis, and an attraction on the road. Pitcher George Blackburn fe2ls that he has been badly treated by Manager Hanlon of the Baliimore club. Manag, McClos- key has received a ietter from ikburn dated Cincinnati, July 6, from which the following is taken: “Of all the tricks ever played on a fellow player, your friend Hanlon did to me yes- terday. He placed me in the box when Cincinnati was three runs in the lead. I had good speed and control. They made a ccuple of scratch hits that cost us three runs. Last night he told me that he had wired you, so I just thought, ‘Well, I have got to go back without the least kind of a show.’ Kelley, Keeler and Doyle were standing close and heard me say, ‘Well, if that is termed a show, I don’t know any- thing about the game.’ “Doyle took Hanion off and Kelley joined them. Later Hanlon came to me and said: ‘I guess I should not have put you in to- day, so all will be O. K. You go to Louis- ville.” “If I win my game in Louisville or St. Louis, I will be O. K.; if not, Iam going to Texas. Everybody spoke well of me ex- cept one man. Bowerman can’t catch fast enough to keep himself warm. The long and short of it is this: The team is losing; Hoffer is sulking and Hanlon is redheaded. Write me at St. Louis if I win at Louis- ville. If not, don’t be surprised at my, be- ing in Dallas.”—Dallas News. There is one league magnate who $s on the anxious seat since the league, by vote, has thrown out the game played on June 3 between New York and Louisville. The public announcement merely says that New York is deprived of the victory and Louisville enlightened to the extent of one defeat, but Herr Andrew Freedman may know the details of the rest of the trans- action. The game was transferred from Louisville to New York without the con- sent of the league, and ‘there is a penaity of $1,000 attached to such a transfer. ‘There is a story behjnd the violation of all teagae precedents. It will be remembered that New York was to have closed its last eastern tour in St. Louis, and that three games were transferred to New York. When the proposition was first maie Freedman said he would transfer the games with or without consent. Uncle Nick Young heard of the statement, and warned Freedman that he would be sub- ject to a fine of $1,000 for each game. Freedman told a New York newspaper man that he intended to play the games anyhow. Before the matter came to an is- sue. Chris Von der Ahe asked that the transfer be mi ‘@ special favor to him. The ve its consent. ‘ihen Freedman stuck out his chest and said: “I told you I would play those games in New York.” On June 3, without consent, he transferred a Louisville game, the one now thrown out. When the other magnates heard of the transaction they immediately wired President Young. One dispatch read: “Did not understand what was teing done. Will vote to assess the full penalty.” Now the game has been declared “nit,” and whether Freedman has been fined re- mains a secret.—Chicago Tribune.

P. 5 COMMENTS. What the Cincinnati Papers Say of the Washington and Pinyers, Mercer bas a beautiful slow ball. He sandwiched ft in between his speedy ones, and he had the Reds in a big guessing match nearly all afternoon. That Washington delegation, with either Mercer or McJames in the box, isn’t the “snap” that they have been figured out by the dope. Not a team in the league can loaf a second and heat them out. Mercer's pitching isn’t all in his arm. There is a big lot of it in his head. He has the assurance of a police court lawyer and the pluck of a game prize fighter. In short, he’s one of the greatest. What kind of a pitcher would Mercer be with a team like the Bostons or the Reds behind him? Give Win the same kind of backing in batting and fielding taat some of the big stars have and Mercer would be one of the greatest slabmen that ever feced a batter. Washington introduced a new feature at a critical juncture. In that tenth inning they put Jimmy McGuire, one of the great- est natural hitters in the business, in to bat, and when he mede a hit they took him out and put Abbey, a fleet-footed run- ner, in to make the rest of the circuit. Had there been any batting behind him Abbey would have scored. Tom Brown did a little kicking yesterday, He kicked himself out of the game. O'Day Would not stand it. It was the only squab- ble during the ser'es. The Senators may not be able to play ball as good as the Giants, but they “lay away over them in field deportment.” They took their di feats in true sportsman-like style. Th were not arcund telling people that they were doped by bad drink! water or mob-. bed by the Cincinnati ro: . The Boston players in the grand stand, and when the Washingtons scored those two runs in the opening i yelled themse men wanted to sce the Reds thrown down yesterday, but this pleasure was denied them. Again, in the ninth, when the atcrs tied the score, Jack Stivetts, Herman Long and Fred. Tenney sent up yelis, but when the Reds started in to bat Mercer in the tenth they left the park with bowed- dcwn heads. “Let’s hope that they won't feel much better after today’s game. If Charley Reilly’s work during the three games he played here can be taken as a criterion, he is one of the star third base- men of the league. Reilly made some plays while here that wouid be a credit to any third baseman. His capture of Bug Hoi- ha terrific liner in the sixth inning yes- terday was a remarkable catch. The ball was hit full on the nose and was speeding toward left field. Just as it passed Reilly he made a side jump and caught it with both hands. REGULAR MONTHLY the Club. The Amateur Rifle Club held its regu monthly competition for the silver loving cup over the 200 yards range yesterday, and despite the showery weather the match was well attended. A marksman winning the cup three times it becomes his per- sonal property. Lieutenant Shaw had two wins to his credit and the effort to prevent a final wirning by him proved successful, Corporal Carleton coming-out on top, mak- ing a second win for him. The conditions of the match were seven shots at 200 yards range, off-hand position, standard target. The following are the highest scores: Carle- ton, 57; Shaw, 53; Holt, 51; Williams, 49; Colladay, 47; Gheen, 46. The practice match preceded the cup match, and was used as a “warmer up” for rifles and men. It consisted of ten shots under the same conditions. It was a re- entry match and on his second ticket Far- row managed to head Carleton by tw Score: ¥, $4: Carleton, 82: Graham, 65; Shaw, O. SHOOT. Competition of Amateur Rifle W. A.C. Entertainment.

Louis of the Mr. Louis Mundheim, who is in the brok- erage business at No. 602 F street, re- celved a telegram this morning conveying the sad information that his son, Solomon Mundheim, had been drowned in the river near Piney Point yesterday. The tele- gram also informed him that the body has not been recovered. Mr. Mundheim was almost prostrated when he received the shocking news. His son had been asso- ciated with him in the office during the summer school vacation, and only last Saturday went to Piney Point with his mother, intending to spend the month of August there, No particulars of the drown- ing have been received. Should the body be recovered it will be embalmed and brought heme on the first boat. The deceased was but fourteen years old, but was in the Business High School.

From my point of vi w, gratitude rather than criticism is due to your great self-governed nation. Yet I shall willingly run the hazard of ne mis- understood rather than shrink from speak- ing, to those I love and respect, the truth I needs must think. Between the ambassadorial and the con- sular services of the United States, 1 take it, there is this broad distinction, observ- able and acknowledged by all. The former represents the government of the republic at a given court, or the seat of fovernment of a given foreign state. The latter trans- fuses a knowledge of the city or district of his appointment, and in which re- sides, and of the cities and disiricts of :he United States bearing less or more affinity thereto; multiplies their possible points of contact; blends their elements of mutual interest; helps to remove out of the way all possible causes of misunderstanding — and all this the clever consul contrives to effect with the enlightened judgment of an expert and the unf@iling courtesy of a mutual friend. For the ambassador, identification with the government to whom he owes the honor of having been selected appears to be m ing less than a necessity. of the consul, extended experience, inu- mate knowledge, a commercial and’ social training, having regard to kindred inter- esis, are the pre-essentials of efficiency. I often hear it said that common sense dic- tates that the election of a new President should be followed by a revision of the embassies. No theoretical justification of equal validity can be advanced for casting to the winds every four years, here and there all over the civilized world, the vast amount of insight, experience and good will which your skillfully directed consular in- tercourse has been accumulating. It would be invidious to adduce instances in support of this contention. I could point you to cases in which a sudden and unan- ticipated change of consul has been felt to be a@ sore discouragement to growing ‘n- timacies, a serious check to enterprises of common advantage to American and Brit- ish citizens, a positive loss of moral in- fluence to the American consulate, and—and therefore—a kind of humiliation to those of us in the old country who have aforetime committed the unpardonable sin in others’ eyes of Americanizing British institutions. But there is no need to quote in: is a self-evident truth, that the woefully wasteful. You cannot pick perience and accumulated special knowl- edge very day in the streets. Nor are the i y, information and personal adaptability acquired by consuls of so little account that the possessor of such gifts should be cast aside without a fau moment's notice, , ilies from without consequ consequences rise to very unpleasant remarks on the part of those who are ever too ready to find fault with the working of republican in- stitutions. Most reasonable men will be prepared to grant that the legitimate patronay influence should be exercised in re appointments which touch the higher sphere of international relationships. In connects n with these no such cousequences as I have deprecated follow. But, under the world-renowned stars and stripes, it ought to be utterly impossible even for the profane to urge with any ap- pearance of truth, that consuls are changed without any regard for the progress of peace or the prosperity of commerce. I know it to be true that Englishmen (and English colonial men) in various parts of the world are predisposed to submit to American consuls, by preference over all others, questions of the greatest delicacy and moment. That is because they regard the position of your average official as that of one who cannot fail to derive come de- gree of character from the free and inde- pendent constitution of the states. But how shall this enviable reputation be sus- tained if the very official who represents the honor of the republic is subject to be cashiered and supplanted without a fault within sight of the representatives of in- ferior nations? So recently as last April, I read a “cir- cular of information of the Association of Manufacturers of the United States of America.” It Contained an appeai to his excellency, the President, William McKin- ley. That appeal recommended the incom- ing President to observe certain simple rules: (a) That the changes in your consular service should be few as possible; (b) va- cancies to be filled up by transfers and promotions; (c) appointments to be made solely upon the basis of proper qualifica- tion; and (4) only American citizens ap- pointed. These recommendations may be assumed to have had their origin in a regar@ for the external trade of the states. They can, I assure you, be very heartily indorsed, on quite other grounds, by the external well- wishers of your glorious republic. L HYSLOP BELL. oe Collateral Forfeited.
