Milwaukee is to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the state of which she is the metropolis by a genuine carnival. The northwest has not hereto- fore attempted anything of this kind on a grand scale. Those who visit the cool and lovely city by the lake during carnival week will be rewarded by a varied and interesting series of entertainments and spectacles. There will be a grand historical pageant, illus- trating the progress of Wisconsin from legendary days until the present time: a flora corso, in which the beauties of society and the equipages of swelidom will be seen; @ monster industrial parade, setting forth the number and magnitude of Wisconsin's industries; a great regatta and naval dis- play on the beautiful bay that is Milwau- kee’s pride and has helped, with aer beer and leather and machinery and various products, to make her famous; a bicycle Pageant. which will not only be very large, but of elaborate and unique character; an exhibition and drill of the fire department, in which modern methods will be compared with old: the dedication of the soldiers’ Mucrument, with military ceremonies; a tarnival ball in one of America’s most beaus tiful buildings; Indian sports and games by red men from the northern reservations; a monster war song concert in the exposition building, and a magnificent display of fire- works and rilliant illumination of the bay and the bluffs. it will be a week crowded with beautiful and lavish attractions, and there ts every probability that the efforts of the carnival association will be crowned with such suc- cess that Milwaukee will have an annual summer carnival that will each year ‘at- tract people from all parts of America to the cream city, in the same way that the Mardi Gras draws them to New “Orleans. ag FLAG PRESENTATION. Stars and Stripes Donated Confeder- ate Cemetery at Hagerstown. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md., June 12, 1898. Resolute Council, Jr. O. U. A. M., which order numbers over 1,000 young rfizn in this county, this evening presented a large na- tional flag to the directors of the confeder- ate cemetery, with appropriate exercises. The presentation speech upon the part of the order was made by A. C. Stute, a mem- ber of the Washington county bar, and was reczived by Gen. H. K. Douglas, the only surviving member of the late Stonewall Jackson's staff. Both gentlemen made stir- ring and patriotic addresses, and the man- ner in which their remarks were receivad by the large body of people assembled bore unmistakable evidence that sectional fe3l- ing has been wiped out and that we are -a united nation. At the conclusion of the pre- sentation the flag was draped around the handsome monum2nt which now ornaments the confederate portion of Rose Hill. This was done amidst strains from bands playing the “Star Spangled Banner” and “Dixie.” It was an ev>nt of unusual interest, oc- curring, as it did, at the decoration of the graves in the Washington confzderate cemetery, which is within the confines of Rose Hill, and was witnessed by over 5,000 ple, the largest number ever assembled 2re on confederate decoration day., It was also the first time in the history of this community that those other than the ones who sympathized with the south in the late elvil war took part in the decoration of the graves in Washington cemetery. Sei CAPITAL RAILWAY BILL. Agreed to in Confetence the Sei }e. The Capital Railway Company’s bill has been agreed to in conference as it passed the Senate, and in a few days Mr. Randle will have trolley wires strung over the Anacostia bridge, making his line an elec- tric one throughout. An effort is being made to get the con- ferees on the Eckington and goldiers’ Home and the Belt railway bill together. It is thought they will come to an agreement promptly. so that the bill will be ready for the President's signature by tomorrow. It Passed OARSMEN AT WORK Yale and Harvard Crews Rowing on the Thames. SENATORS DEFEATED AT BALTIMORE Orioles to Play Here This After- noon. ———— CURRENT SPORTING NOTES NEW LONDON, Conn., June 13.--Both of Harvard's crews had a short practice this morning. The “’Varsity’’ crew went out as usual in the shell. They showed the usual Monday defects, resulting from the jack of work with the oars on Sunday. The time of the men was ragged, especially in the bow of the boat. Mr. Lehmann, however, believes the poor form is merely temporary and incidental. On the whoie, the “'Varsity” is rowing well and steadily improving. The substitutes went out aml the freshmen were ccached in oars. Much interest was awakened at Red Top by the appearance of the Yale freshmen in their shell at 10 o'clock. They rowed up and down the river and made a fine appearance. From the Harvard view point, however, the blade work was poor. An at- mpt was made to take the time of the Yale youngsters. but it was not satisfac- tory. “Late int |e forenoon Bob Cook took the in the fours pair Yale ‘yarsities out for a very short spin. The men rowed strongly and well and with much dash, considering the sweltermy ther. Record of the Clubs. D., Clubs. Louisville, 5; Cincinnati, The Colonels made a good s' 5 to 4.

New York’s gain is 23 points. The greatest loss is shown by Brooklyn— 210 points. Of the westerners, Cincinnati shows the greatest reaction, dropping 83 points; Cleveland is second, with 32 points. Pitsburg played the steadiest ball in the league, there being only a difference of 15 points—a loss—between her figures now and one month ago. Base Ball Notes. Baltimores today. Mercer will pitch. Jimmy McJames was at his best. Umpires Cushman and Heydier will offi- ciate here today. Reitz hurt his ankle Saturday, but will be in today’s game. The Senators played a good game Saiur- day under the circumstances. Notwithstanding Dinneen’s poor work } Satugday he has all the requirements of a gcod pitcher. “Doc” Amole accepted Springfield's terms Saturday and left last night for that city. “Doe* was sore because Wagner wouldn't give him another trial. Jake Gettman pested one of McJames’ shoots for a triple Saturday. Centerfielder Sterzel left Baltimore Sat- urday night to join the St. Louis club in the west. The German boy was wrothy at Hanlon fer giving him his release to St. Louis. Jake had an eye on New York. Walter Brodie and Morgan Murphy were let out Saturday by Manager Watkins of the Pittsburg club. Both men are high class and should have little trouble cetch- ing on, Dick Padden won his fight against Man- ager Watkins and is again back at second fer the Pittsburgs. O'Brien gocs into cen- ter and will strengthen the club at che bat. i With Bill Joycc cn third, Elberfield on second and Lajoie on first, maybe that Philadelphia crow wouldn't win a_ few games. The Phillies would play for Joyee and win games, as the material is there. Freedman’s interference ruined Joyce in New York, nothing else. When Manager Hanlon gets started there [is nothing too good for him to let go, pro- vided there Is enotgh money back of it. The latest story comes from Philade!phia to the eifect that he has offered to trade | McGra the little third baseman with big to the Quaker management for Baseman Blberfield and a. money ‘ration.

Wil- on wes with Ted Sullivan a short period, and this seasan has been with the Toronto from which club the Baltimore man- Wilson is a very young man, but is touted as a comer. Anson’s contract with the New York president is likely to keep him out of ihe game. He admitted Saturday that he would remain on the bench, as Freedman n't want him to play first base, but it is only a question of time when the grand old_man will be back in the game. Anson is in the pink of condition, and while he may be a little short on fielding, there is no question as to his batting abilities. Up to Saturday night the Washington club had made the biggest’ gain in per- centage for a month's time ef any club in the league. May 10 the Senators had a percentese of .235, today their figures are Rival magnates and managers may as well save their breath and not waste it in belittling Manager Watkins of the Pitts- burg or his club. The Pittsburg manager is just chock-full of horse sense, and he dis- played it in securing O'Brien and Bower- man from Baltimore; in giving in to Dick Padden; in insisting on discipline; and he will still further show his ability by secur- ing good men for the one or two positions that are yet weak. Remember, it was Billy Watkins who pulled off the “Big Four” deal for the Detroits, and he is Mable to bring about the Cleveland deal. Watkins has not claimed a pennant winner for the Pirates, but he has promised good ball, and he is keeping his promise. Gis ew York Herald yesterday com- mented at considerable length on the re- markable fact that Pitcher Orth of the Phillies had-gone through an entire game without giving a base on balls.

A ratio 01 16 to 1 would have been bad enough, but it was one of 16 to 9 at Balti- more Saturday, when the Senators went there to meet the Orioles. That erratic young man, Dr. McJames, who formerly pitched, and, sometimes, did not pitch, for the Washington people, occupied the rubber for the ex-champions, while Mr. Dineen oc- cupied it for one inning, being followed by Weyhing, who twirled during the rest of the game. The visitors could not hit a lit- Ue bit, but the home push could. Five scattered hits were all the Senators secured off McJames,while the Orioles helped them- selves to sixteen from the curyes and straights served up by the Washington rubber holders. Dineen started in to pitch, and during the inning hit McGraw, the first man up, passed Keeler and Jennings to first, forced. Mc- Graw in by hitting DeMontreville, sent Keeler home on a wild pitch, Holmes’ sin- gle to center scoring Jennings and DeMon- treville. In some way or other the side was retired before another run was scored, and then Weyhing relieved Dineen. Gus was hit difring the seven innings he pitched for fifteen safeties, three of which were doubles. The home people scored two in the fourth and sixth innings, and four each in first, fifth and seventh innings. The nearest the Senators came to scoring was in the sev- enth, when Reitz hit-to right for two bases, went to third on Robinson's wild throw, being left. Jake Gettman reached third on his hit in the next inning, but he was also left on that bag. Reitz sprained ad ankle in the seventh, Mercer taking his place. Other Saturday Scores.

Facts and figures are stubborn things. There is no getting away from their logic.

There is a possibility that the Reds may not set | a new mark this year by winning a pennant with a team that keeps the others from making runs by fine work in the points and in the field—Cincinnati Tribune. Pitcher Pardee of the Kansas City club, who has made such an excellent record so far this season, has practically been sold to the Pittsburg club, although he will not join the Pirates until next season. It was a certainty that Pardee would be drafted at the end of the season, and Manager Watkins did not care about taking any chances with the big fellow. Manager Manning of the Kansas City team, has been favored by Watkins in getting players for the Cowboys, and in return Manning has given the Pittsburg club the call on Pardee, the consideration being private. Pardee has pitched splendid ball in the Western League. He has a fine assortment of curves and great speed, although he has been wise enough to mix the slow ones with his speed. The deal mad3 by Hanlon will in a way be a benefit to the game, inasmuch as two weak clubs are strengthened, while the Baltimore club is not particularly weakened by these changes. Tim Hurst's team’ with Stenzel and Quinn on it is assured of a place in the first division. St. Louis has been playing good ball all the season, not- withstanding its low position in the race. It has also been drawing well at hom, and if these two players are secured base ball in St. Louis will once more be what it was a few years ago, when there wasn’t a bet- ter paying city in th2 circuit than the Mound City. Manager Watkins has gotten the best out of his team, and O’Brien and Bowerman will strengthen the Pirates not a little—Cincinnati Enquirer. SUBURBAN HANDICAP. The Sheepshead Bay Next Saturday. The fifteenth Suburban Handicap, last of the great spring races* for horses all ages, to be run at the Sheepshead Big Handicap to Be Run at the Bay track Saturday, will be the turf event of the week. Since Ornament galloped home winner with top weight of the Brooklyn Handicap two weeks ago at the Gravesend track, Headley and Norton’s great four-year-old has been more than ever the public favorite fer the race, but the trainers of a dozen horses that are almost sure to start have not yet conceded the Suburban to Orna- ment, No horse has ever won both the Brook- lyn and the Suburban, and bright as Orna- ment's chance now looks, the trainers of the dozen that it is pramised will oppose him have been hard at work for two weeks arranging to give him a race for it.

THE VALUE OF CERTAIN TESTIMONY Convincing Evidence That Rye Carried a Knife. COST OF THE TRIAL ——— The twelve jurymen who freed Dennis Canty were at the marshal’s office this morning to obtain their fees for service. They w:re locked up twenty-six days, and receive $2 a day, although five served nine days longer, as they were on the regular Criminal Court jury for the May term. Therefore th>y will draw from 352 to $70 each. Statements of the case and the reasons which led them to reach their unanimous verdict of 2cquittal have been made by s2v- eral members of the jury. “Canty only did what I or any other good citizea would have done,” said Fore- man Marr, and all the others assented. “The t2stimony of Keating, Williams and Miss Somerville convinced us that Rye had a knife. Without Keating and Miss Som- erville there might have been a different verdict. As the case was presented our verdict had to be either guiity of murder, with or without capital punishment, or ac- quittal. There could have been no half- Way course—such as mansiaughter. Those three witnesses could not be impeached in our mind: They told the truth. All the other forty-seven could not tell anything of value as to what happened before Rye fell. That thos2 three saw a knif> that Rye had a knife we firmly belie The one who had murder in his heart was Rye. After the altercation Monday he mad? up his mind to kill Canty. He drank whisky—something, he never did before— this man who always kept his nerves right so he could gamble. He put that knife up his sleeve through that loop. Then next day he lay for Canty. Rye’s Purpose. “What was he doing at th corner? What business had he there? His intention was to come up behind Canty and cut him with the knife. He toid Canty he'd cut him the day before if he did not pay. Pierre Waggaman said Rye looked. when he saw him, as if he was coming up behind. Canty was scared—sc a coward, w him to be as big as a house. cursed and threatened by Rye, and Walton and others had carried the threats to nim. He armed himself, believing that if they met next day one would be killed. He didn’t intend murder. He made no preparations until the day before, and then because he had a right to believe his life in danger. se tried to get out of Rye’s way. Keating saw Rye pull the knife and change it from one hand to the other. We believe him. Miss Somerville saw the knife held at his side. “She told the truth, and was the best wit- ness Canty had. Of course, she was con- fused on the stand. We saw big men get helpless when called inio the box. No won- der she was nervous. But she saw all she Said she s2w. “Rye had that krife in his hand when he approached Canty. Canty saw it. There were more threats and profanity from Rye. Then he made a motion. Canty thought he was going to be cut. He pulled his pistol and was so scared he fired before he got his arm lifted. He didn't even straighten his arm out. The first shot didn’t hit Rye. It dazed him. He thought Canty unarmed. He moved as if to get away. The second shot hit him. Canty had a double-action revolver. He was firing it fast because he was scared and because he didn’t know how to use it. Threatened and Frightened Canty. “Rye had no business to use Canty as he did. He was a bad man and a coward- ly one. He brand‘:hed the penknife Mon- day when he threatened Canty and knew it was intimidating the big fellow. He slashed it up and down in front of Canty and said he'd cut him. When Canty spoke about Rye's note then Rye made up his mind to kill. He went and drank whisky to poisen his heart into doing his evil pur- Pose. He got what he deserved. Canty is not a bad man, and his whole course prior to the shooting doesn’t show that he threatened Rye or did more than to arm himself in fear of death from Rye. “We swore to give a verdict according to the evidence. We didn’t mind the argu- ments. Mr. Davis made a fine address, but it was too farfetched. His talk about Keating, Miss Somerville and the other wit- nesses hurt his case. He called too many people liars. His theory of the murder was like a dime novel. He wouldn't let Hardy tell all he knew. We fitted the judge's charge to the evidence and then gave our verdict. We were honest, and there wasn’t a man among us who didn’t believe Rye deserved all he got. We believe he would have assassinated Canty if he had not been shot. He didn’t use his revolver because he thought-he could get behind Canty and make sure of him. “Out of all the conflicting evidence, that of Keating, Williams and Miss Somerville agreed, and clearly showed us the circum- stances. Only an accident brought her into the case. She was afraid to go on the stand, but mentioned long afterward what she had seen, and Mr. Worthington had her called.
