The game they put 4p against the Baltimores for seven Innings was worth going miles to see, but in the eighth and ninth they gave an exhibition of stupid playing that must have brought tears to Capt. Brown's eyes and vividly lustrated their right to the name of “‘quitters.’ The Baltimores have always been made to play their best ball in this city, and although given a handicap of five runs in the third inning the Senators went at them gamely, and at the end of the sixth inning had overtaken the handicap and were one run to the good.

To offset this attack it might be said that McDonald umpired an excel- lent game of ball, but had it been perfect the disturbances would have continued, as the birds were kicking on general principles and for future results.

It is a disgrace to the national game to see a well-mean- ing and evidently conscientious man en- deavoring to arbitrate in an impartial man- rer and then be the recipient of such abuse. Neither side scored in the first inning, but in the second the Senators got a run over the plate. After McGuire had hit safe to left, he was forced out at second by Tucker, who tried to sacrifice. Reilly was hit by the pitcher and forced Tucker to second, from where he scored on a sharp sirgle by O’Brien that went through Mc- Graw. ‘The Orioles went them four better in the third inning, scoring five runs on four hits, good base running and assisted by four errors.

The game at Chicago yesterday was placed to the credit of the Cincinnatis by the score of 6 to 3, owing to the poor work of the Chicagos in the field, the club mak- ing almost as many errors as the Red Legs made hits. The visitors played an error- less game, the work of Irwin at third be- ing particularly noticeable.

Messrs. Wagner, Robb and the players, who have just fin- ished a tour of all the cities, say the grounds are the finest in the country. Manager Hanlon of the Orioles indulged in «a childish piece of spite work on Tues- day. Captain Brown immediately after his arrival in Washington Tuesday morning wired the Baltimore manager the batting list of the Senators and asked him to noti- fy the Washington people whether the grourds would be fit to play the game. Hanlon ignored the telegram, and the Sena- tors took the fruitless trip to Baltimore, a dead loss of about $0. It is a way they have of getting back at Wagner for dar- ing to tout the Bostons as winners of the pennant. For the first time in over two years a description of the game yesterday was not telegraphed to the Opera House people in Baltimore. Yet they claim the Baltimore people are not geiting tired of a champion- ship team. For the last couple of years the Opera House has been packed with fans at every game the birds played away from home. There are no stars on the Baltimore team in the estimation of the players. The way the men would call down each other when a play was lost yesterday demonstrated effectively why the birds win games. Joe Kelley is supposed to be captain, but Doyle and McGr:w both went at him for not bunting and then they all turned on Jen- nings for trying to steal second with only one out. All look alike to the Orioles with a slice of the Temple cup money in sight. Jack Doyle was kicking all afternoon against the hit-and-run game the Balti- mores were trying without success to pull off, claiming that it was losing them game after game. Hanlon thought otherwise, and said the men at the bat wouldn’t swing at the ball when the runner started. Jimmy McJames has gotten into a rut on watching the bases. Yesterday the Bal- timore playets would come into the bench after successfully stealing second or third and declare he was the easiest thing that had come over the pike this season. “Why, we can get a mile start on that fellow,” they all said. In sliding into third yesterday Doyle tore off the skin in the palm of his left hand and broke a leader, the blood flowing cop!- ously. Drs. McJames and Pond diagnosed the case, bandaged the hand and the plucky first baseman went back into the game. it takes a broken rib or limb to place any one of the birds out of a game. ‘Manager Joyce of the New York club has released “Yale” Murphy.

L. Wrenn Makes Him Work in the Longwood Tourney. The third round of the Longwood (Mass.) tennis tournament was played yesterday and ccrsisted of three matches between Americans and one between two of the Englishmen. The interest centered in the latter match, which was played in the afternoon. H. A. Nesbit, who is rated in England as ninth in the list of tennis cracks, defeated Dr. W. V. Eaves, who is rateé thiri, in three straight sets. Nesbit will meet Larned to- day in the semi-finals, and this match will probably be one of the, finest in the tourna- rent. The matzh eof the morning was the Larned-G. L. Wrenn contest, which unex- pectedly developed into an’ exciting und long-drawn-cut contest. Larned took the first set with ease, 6-2, playing all around and scoring 26 points to his op- pcnent’s 14. The second was not quite such an easy thing for the coming champion, and before he knew it the games were four all. Larned tried hard to pull out the set, but Wrenn managed, by steady play, to pass him, and took the set, 6-4, the points being 38 to 34 in Wrenn’s favor. The third set looked Larned’s for awhile, but, after having Wrenn 4-1, the New Jerse man went to pleces again and Wrenn took the set, G4, the points being 28 to 23 in his favor. By this time Larned realized that he had the hottest kind of a fight on his hands, and by careful play took the tourth set, 6-1, the points being 28 to 17 in his favor. After that he had no difficulty in taking the fifth set, 6-2, and match, the points on the last sot’ being 27 to 18, making a total of 28 to 115 in Larned’s favor. Summary of matches: H. A. Nesbit defeated W. V. Eaves, 9-7, 6-4, 8-6. W. A. Larned defeated G. L. Wrenn, 6-2, 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2. J. D. Forbes defeated J. P. Paret, 6-2, 4-6, 6-0, 6-1. Cc. R. Budlong defeated C. P.

It is said by those who are famillar with the development of gold mining to be not a mere coincidence that within two or three years there have been opened up vast treasures of gold, or that within the same month there should have come the exciting news from Alaska and the fascinating story from the uplahds of Peru. These announcements are the result of systematic, painstaking and exhaustive prospecting which has been going on every- where in the world where the earth! had been suspected of containing deposits of gold, so that it was not strange, but en- tirely reasonable, that almost simultaneous- dy there should come these announcements of the finding of rich mines. The announcement simply illustrates the fact that great energy and capital have been and are being expended in the atternpt to discover gold-producing districts and in the working of them after their discov: In some places, as in South Africa, and y tields of Australia, the discoveries But it is said that they accidental in Alaska, since the ublest mining authorities of this’ coun- try have long been convinced that. sooner ater very rich deposits would be found , and for that reason prospectors have endurec hardships worse than those of expectation that their suffer- ould be sooner or later splendidly ded. depreciation in the price of sliver and he application of the cyanide process and other economical methods of mining great- ly sttmulated these undertakings, and part- ly explained the vast activity which has this year resulted in making the efforts perhaps us memorable as any in the his- tory of precious metal mining. In Wall street {t is the common opinion now that we are just entering upon a gold mining cra, the extent and successes of which are beyond the power of any one to estimate, but which will be surely so great as to characterize the time as one peculiarly remarkable for the enormous de- velopment of gold. It is believed, too, that the excitement will not be confined to any one region; all the indications point not only to vast pros- pecting and opening up of new mining ter- ritory in Alaska, but also in British Colum- bia, and then southerly until th gold fields of the Pacific slope are reached, not stop- ping with the bounduries of the United States, but continuing through Mexico, and before very long being extensively carried on in the Peruvian fields. The presicent of the Mexican Central railway, Mr. Robinson, who was recently in this city, spoke with some surprise of the fact that in the United States so many persons ure ignorant of the extent to which geld mining has recently been developed in the Republic of Mexico. At the close, of the present fiscal year there had been mined during the year a little cver $0,000,009 of gold, and President Robinson said that, with the extension of the railways to those regions where Tic deposits of gold are known to exist, the mining 6f gold will be vastly increased in that zepublic, a conservative estimate being that within a few years the Mexican out- put will be found to be from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 a year. What the Peruvian output may be de- pends very largely upon the facilities for reaching the gold district there. The Andes have been surmounted, but the railway ends only a little ways beyond the top of the path. Until it is extended to the gold fields dependence must he: entirely upon trans- portation of the ore by mules, although the expert said thatsit-might be possible to find a navigable stream by which traffic to the Amazon could be. ‘maintained. It is hardly necessary.to say that these reports add to themhealthful and encour- aging feeling in commdrcial and financial circles which have sso remarkably charac- terized the month of July, and, while there is no coindence that-is accidental in these exciting reports of vast discoveries of gold fields upon the westérm shores of the Ameri- can continent, yet there is ,of course, some- thing of cotncidence!in the fact that these reports come at the very moment when the United States seems to be lifting itself out of the morass or stagnation and de- pression which has’ ¢hatacterized the past four or five years. io 5 Boy Raw @ver.

Bryan, Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King Street, Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 29, 1897. There was quite a great deal of excite- ment on King street last night, when “Mr. R. D. Catts of West End came down that thoroughfare on horseback, with a shotgun over his shoulder, and with six negro tramps marching before him. Two of the tramps were arrested for robbing the house of Mr. Willis Pettit in West End, and the other four were locked up as witnesses. Whiie Mr. Pettit and his family were ab- sent from the house last night two of the men were seen to enter it, but they were unable to get more than a piece of bread and some tomatoes. Mr. Catts and Mr. Pettit saw them leave the house and gave chase, finally capturing them in a swamp near the Southern railway yards. This section of the city is generally in- fested with tramps. The various trains coming in over the Southern and A. and F. railroads bring large numbers of them, and they scatter around, marauding for sus- tenance, and oftentimes terrorizing women and children. Every effort is being made to break up the practice. The case was investigated by Mayor Simpson in the police court this morning, and he decided to turn the prisoners over to the Fairfax county authorities. This decision brought out a peculiar state of affairs. There is not a single justice of the peace in West End. The people are absolutely without police protection. Mr. Luther Carter, who was recently elected justice of the peace, moved to this city to live before taking the oath cf office, which, of course, disqualifies him from holding office in West End, which is in Fairfax county. Echo of the Bryan Ovation. The last visit of Wm. Jennings Bryan of Nebraska to this city has brought trouble upon the shoulders of Alderman W. B Dobie of the first ward. As will be remem- bered, when Mr. Bryan paid Alexandria a visit he was tendered a great ovation. Part of the celebration consisted of salutes from a large cannon. Alderman Dobie had charge of the gun. Barbara Moore, colored, has entered suit against Mr. Dobie, claiming that the shock caused by the firing of the cannon broke windows in her house and ctherwise damaged the domicile. An Effort Which Failed. An effort was made to get together a number of the members of the Alexandria Infantry to give the Morten Cadets a greet- ing as they passed through here last night en their triumphal return to Washington, but a sufficient force could rot be gotten together to make a respectable showing. The 31 Regiment Field Band would have turned out sixteen strong to accompany the A. L. I. had the project been successful. Infirmary Room Dedicated. The trustees have accepted a proposition from Mary Custis Lee Chapter, Daugh- ters of the Confederacy, to set aside a room in the Alexandria’ Infirmary to be known as Mary Custis Lee room. Police Court. In the police court this morning Mayor Simpson disposed of the following cases: George Howard, charged with selling liquor Sunday, July 18; case dismissed.

Temporary Walls Torn Down by the Workmen, For the first time :n sixteen years visitors at the Capitol are made aware that there are windows in the crypt beneath the great rotunda. Originally the crypt was as great in circumference-as is the rotunda, but about sixteen years ago brick walls were built in just back of the second row cf columns, converting the outer circum- ference :o apartments for the temporary occupancy of the Dr. Toner collection of the National Library, and cutting off all the windows of the crypt. The books having been removed, workmen have begun to tear away these walls and to restore this beautiful vaulted chamber to its original architectural design. The space in the crypt will be fully three times what it has been for years, after the tem- perary walls have all been removed, and the entire chamber will be freshly painted. - If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

Complimentary Addresses by Leading Citisens, to Which Mr. Warner Re- sponds — Farewells Spoken, One and all of Kensington’s citizens as- fembled at the town hall last evening to show their regards for Brainard H. War- ner,-jr., who has recently been made con- sul to Leipsic, and to show their disregard for the slanders against his name brought cut by the partisan whirlwind which his nomination evoked. The hall was tastefully decorated with flags and bunting, and a section of the Mandolin Club of Washing- ton discoursed ealivening music. Mayor C. W. Clum presided, assisted by Messrs J. W. Townsend, William M. Ter- rell, H. K. Simpson, ex-Mayor T. R. Mar- un, ex-Mayor George Peter, William H. Mannakee and Judge Alphonso Hart. Mr. Clum, by way of introduction, said that the people were gathered together to show their appreciation of the action of the President in appointing their fellow-towns- man to so important a post of duty, and also to extend neighborly congratulations to the young man who had grown up among them. He would introduce as the first speaker Judge Alphonso Hart. Judge Hart's Remarks. Judge Hart said that when the battle royal for financial integrity was raging last fall there was one man who threw himself heart and soul into the conflict in this vicinity. This was Brainard H. War- ner, sr. He sent out speakers from village to village, and made a house-to-house can- vass throughout all this section of Mary- laud. With him was associated his son, Brainard H. Warner, jr. The young man seconded his father’s efforts with all the ardor of youth, and with a sagacity that gave promise of a remarkable future career in politics. When the tide of victory rolled over the country in favor of finaacial honesty, the wave was nowhere higher than in old dem- ocratic Maryland. When President Mc- Kinley was installed he recognized the merit of such services, as it was proper he should do, in the appointment of young Brainard H. Warner as consul to Leipsic. The nomination evoked a bitter protest from a quarter where it was least expected, and young Warner's name became a target for serious insinuations and charges. The fierce heat.of newspaper controversy beat upon it. Senate Committee Unanimous. The committee which had the nomiaa‘ion in charge, after a full investigation, show- ed what they thought of these charges by voting unanimously for his confirmation, democrats and republicans alike, and he was confirmed without a dissenting vote in the Senate. There was one charge, how- ever, which they overlooked, and of which Brainard H. Warner, jr., would stand con- ed before any jury--and that was the crime of being young. Mr. Hart said that, being advanced in years himseif, he could not subscribe to the doctrine of laying old men on the shelf, but he did believe in pushing young men to the front, and in this particular he believed President Mc- Kinley was snowing his wisdom. Turning to Mr. Warner, he abjured him to carry with him to his new field of labor that sturdy Americanism and love of country which he had always shown, and which was in such marked contrast with that of a high appointee under the late lamented administration, who was con- tinually apologizing for his uncouth end undisciplined countrymen. Such a men should be condemned to renounce his na- tive land, and to live with the flunkies whom he had flattered. Amid whatever scenes our new consul should live during his term, he must not forget those about him here tonight, who would be watching and praying that he might give a ;sood ac- count of himself. May the Jearest spot on earth to him be “Home, Sweet Home. Received With Applause. Consul Warner was then called for, and amid an enthusiastic clapping of hands, rese to the trying ordeal of making a first speech to a town full of people who had known him since boyhood. Evidences of emotion were visible in every line of his countenance. “I have come to thank you,” he said, “for the kindly interest you have mani- fested in me. I have faced the accusations, Made against me without cause, as a man must face these things in a political con- test. but your kind faces have developed in me the most serious case of stage fright with which a man was ever afflicted. I heartily wish that I were representing you new in far-away Leipsic, rather than here upon this floor The reference to ‘home Sweet home,’ has moved my feelings be- yond control, and driven from my mind everything I had planned to say to y I feel somewhat like a horse set to make a race without previous training: I could do much better if I only had my second wind. and do my I will only say that I will try duty, and make you realize that fidence in me has not been misplac will close by thanking you shall lose control of my feel! Rev. Robert Nourse of Washington was next introduced. He said he had been read- irg about Leipsic, to which Consul Warner was assigned. He found that Napoleon had been there, but we were sending one there who was greater than Napoleon, for Napo- leon was defeated by Wellington, and War- ner was not. He knew Consul Warner would carry the breath of civilization into that o!d town. He would not forget his native land, and he would uphold the finan- cial integrity for which he and his victor- ious ‘party stood. What other country could submit the most intricate of economic problems to its people and after one short campaign have them settle it, and settle it right? Friend and Neighbor. Ex-Mayor Thomas R. Martin, democrat, said he ruse as a friend and neighbor to say that he had known Consul Warner closely since they were boys. They had been associated together in business mat- ters and were for a long time with the same commercial company. He would char- acterize as untrue the campaign ‘stories afloat since the nomination was made. He thought Mr. Warner should be proud of adding his name to those from this state who had served their country. He would mention the iong list of senators who had represented this state up till the last elvc- tion, and here, in justice, his record ought to step. He could pursue the list of great senators n> further. Mr. Maricn Dorian was the last speaker of the evering. It was unfortunate for him to take up the subject after it had been exhausted by the speakers who preceded him. The occasion was not one for formal speechmaking, put for neighborly congrat- ulations. If young Brainard Warner met the expectations of his friends here and kept constantly in view that whatever he did vculd be watched with kinlly eyes he could not fail to make a record of which the state would be proud. He would wipe out the only indiscreticn—that of youth— which had been proved against him. ‘The political whirlwind which centered about him meant that we were to have home rule instead of boss rule in Maryland. Victory a Protest. The republican victory here was largely @ protest agairst the undemocratic domi- nation of our lecal affairs by politicians in Baltimore, and since the political over- turn a feeble attempt at imitation had been _promptly discountenanced by the President in this appointment. He would not telk longer and keep the ussemblage sway from the other good things which had been provided for them. Announcement was then made by Mayor Clum that the cake and cream provided ‘was a.xious to add its share to the gen- eral gocd feeling. An informal hand-shak- ing followed, in which there were “good- byes” and “God bless ycus” a aecey- Sayed enough to turn an older head than it of young coneul to After refreshments had been served to all, the younger people, inspired by the enllv- hour in a so- ce. ers ‘The occasion brought forth a number of rep ntative visitors from —_ Rockville, Sandy Spring and other points near Ken- sington.

The police of this precinct are keeping a sharp lookout for James Carr, who crim- inally assaulted little Rosa Robinson, as has been published in The Star. Word was received that Carr was seen passing through Georgetown soon after the as- sault, but there is very little credence placed in the report. The man has sevy- eral relatives living in this section of the city, and, in the belief that he will visit their houses, the police are keeping an extra sharp watch. It was more authoritatively stated that Carr was at Cabin John bridge Tuesday evening. A person answering his descrip- tion, looking as though he had walked some distance, approached one of the em- ployes of the’ place and inquired for the location of the bar. After getting a drink the individual walked up the road in the direction of Great Falls. It seems some- what likely that he took passage on a canal boat, farther up the line, and is now on his way to Cumberland. A negro was arrested last evening by the Rosslyn authorities who was suspect- ed of knowing something of the fugitive, the police officers of the village under- standing before the arrest that the negro was harboring the criminal. He was given a hearing before Squire Sellers last even- ing, and from the manner in which he evaded questions the belief was strength- ened that he knew more than he would tell. He was locked up over night, and this morning one of the deputies placed the prisoner in a buggy and started to drive over to the seventh precinct police station. When on the Aqueduct bridge the negro jumped from the buggy and made his es- cape. The matter was reported to the Georgetown police. The Rosslyn authori- ties hope to have the negro again in cus- tody before nightfall. Banuer Presentation. Mt. Zion M. E. Church was crowded Inst night, the occasion being the presentation of a handsome banner to Potomac Union Lodge, No. 892, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The banner was the work- manship of George W. McKenzie of Florida and was engraved with the portrait of the late Samuel Chase, who was for a number of years the sexton of Christ Church, on O street. Addresses to his memory were delivered by Grand Director David A. Clark, Frederick Douglass, Jas. L. Turner and H. L. Livingston, District grand sec- retary. The family of Mr. Chase occupied seats in the front pews. The program for the occasion was as fol- lows: Prayer, by Rev. E. W. 8. Peck, pas- tor of Mt. Zion M. FE. Church: music, by the choir, Prof. R. S. Parrot, director: ad: dress, by Master of Ceremonies J. W. Lee: address, by the District grand master, Al- bert H. Stevens: music, by the choir: ad- dress, by the chairman of the banner com- mitiee, R. J. Holmes; presentation of ban- ner, Miss Hattie Wright; responsive ad- dress, Richard Jones; music, by the choir, and closing address, by Prof. G e W. McKenzie. Brief Notes. Miss Sadie Goodman of 2309 R street has left for a three weeks’ visit to Church Hill, Queen Anne county, Md., where she will be the guest of Mrs. Alice Carter. Miss Ada Sebastian of 3314 P strect is at Colonial Beach, Va., where she will remain two weeks. Morris Keim has transferred a quit claim to D. W. Baker and William H.

There she will be boarded today by Assistant Secre- tary Roosevelt and Lieutenant Gibbons, the officer in charge of naval militia affairs at the Navy Department, and a formal in- spection will be made of the naval militia of New York and Brooklyn during the drilis now in progress. The men will be exam- ined on board the battle ships Massachu- setts and Texas and Friday on shore at Gravesend Bay. ‘ —____ +e +______ Will Be More Comfortable. - The Secretary of the Navy has issued an order relieving naval officers from the pres- ent necessity of wearing full dress uniforms during a court-martial. This has been a great source of discomfort to naval officers, who will now be required to wear the unt- form only when the court first conv 3, and then may wear any sort of clothing permitted by the presiding officer. ———_—_-e At Virginia Beach, Correspondence of ‘The Evening Star. 5 VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., July 25, 1897. The scene at Virginia Beach for the last week has been a very brilliant one. The 4th Regiment of Virginia, under command of Col. Harry Hodges, have been here. Guard mount, review, inspection and dress parade have all been witnessed by the guests and cottagers, and each hour hun- dreds of people would come down to see the unusual and beautiful sight of these cere- monies taking place on the level lawn of the Princess Anne. The spectacle in the evening was even more brilliant. The pavilion ball room was brilliantly lighted, and hundreds danced to the music of the Naval Post Band. Sunday many new faces were added to the number, some thirty coming down from Washington with Prof. Cloward. Among them were W. L. Rodgers, P. J. Keicher, Chas. B. Hanford, Claude B. Cooksey, W. R. C.
