The Senate was the only house of Con- gress in session today. Barely a quorum was present, and the attendance in the galleries was light. Rev. J. F. Heisse of Washington, in pronounciuz the invocation, referred to and gave thanks for the tri- umph of the government's land and naval forces, and prayed the blessing of heaven upon our brave men. Resolutions calling upon the Secretary of War for information as to experiments with explosives and inventions were passed and consideration of the Hawaiian resoiu- tions was resumed. Mr. Allen (Neb.) opposed the resolution. He laid down the proposition that annexa- tion involved the abandonment of the Mon- roe doctrine, and the traditional foreign Policy of this country. He declared that Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines should be made independent. Spain should pay Res- ; down the left foul line. the entire cost of the war, and the war should not end with any increase of this government's territorial possessions. At noon Mr. Turpie (Ind.) read and com- mented upon the Declaration of Independ- ence. Mr. Allen resumed his speech, continuing the reading of state papers relative to the country’s foreign policy. ———_---_______ NAVY NOMINATIONS, Capt.

The long, hot jeirney from St. Lovis had a distressing effect upon the Washirgton men, and they went on the field badly handicapped. Yet they put up a great game, all things con- sidered, and wkile they lost a very ciose contest, the sympathies of the crowd were with them. = Dunn pitcked for the visitors, and he Fitched one of the best games he has exer Fut up, allowing the Lard-hittimg senators but six hits. Mercer officiated for the home team, and, but for ar _nfortunate misplay by Wrigley :n the final inning, when the score stood 3 to 2 in favor of his people, he would bave won his game. Duke Farreli was unable to play, MeGuire linquished first base to A: son, going behind the bat, and Wagn replacing Anderson in center field. With the score 2 to 1, the Senators scor- ed two rans in the eighth inning, and, with one man on first and one out, Wrigle ip- ped up on an easy chance to send a double play through successfully by badly fum- bling Haliman’s bounder. The man on first Was next forced, but the man on second went to third on the play, and after the man on first had stolen second one of Mer- cer's slow ones was sent skimming over third base and two men crossed the plate. In their half of the last inning, with one man gone and a man on first, a liner to the shortstop was sent in a flash to first and a double resulted, thus kiling the Senators’ chances to put the game to their credit. Brooklyns Went to Bat. The Brooklyn men were first at the bat, and Griffin, the first man up, sent a nasty grounder to Myers, which was finely field- ed to Anderson, who replaced McGuire at first, the latter taking Farrell's place be- hind the bat. Jones sent a bounder to Wrigley and died at first. La Chance then sent a hot one just to the right of second base, which Wrigley, by a wonderful effort, stopped and, on the dead run, caught his man at first. For the Senators Sel bach hit to Shindle third and reached first on a wide throw. Gettman's foul fly was taken by Tucker on the run. Anderson hit to Hallman and was thrown out. Selbach, who had started for th was caught there on Tucker's fine throw. In the second inning Tommy Tucker, af- ter responding to the hearty applause which greeted him, singled to right. Hall- man then fanned, and Tucker was caught at second by a fine throw. Shindie'’s fly back of short was dropped by Selbach, af- ter a hard run, the batsman getting second. Magoon ended the suspense by dying at first on Wrigley’s long throw. McGuire was given a great send off as he went to bat, but was thrown out at first by Shindle. Reitz died the same way on Hall- man’s assist. Wagner, who played center, went out on precisely the same play. Ryan, the first dedger up in the third in- ning, received a pass, and Dunn slipped past Anderson, who had picked up bjs bunt. Griffin's out at first advanced the runners to second and third, and they came home on jones’ clean single to center. On La Chance’s bounder to Anderson he . was forced at second. Tucker went to first on #13, but Hallman’s weak fly was taken by Reitz. Myers’ fly was taken by Griffin, Wrigley Was thrown cut at first by Shindle and Mer- cer struck out. Shindle, first up in the feurth inning, popped up a fly to Anderson. Magoon sin: gled to right, but on Ryan’s hit to Wrigley a double play by Wrigley, Reitz and An- derson resulted. Selbach bunted to Dunn and was thrown out. Gettman was also thrown out by Dunn. And=rson’s fly was captured by La Chance. Dunn commenced the fifth inning by foul- ing to McGuire and Griffin's iong fly was well taken by Selbach after a long run. Jones hit to Mercer and was easily thrown out. McGuire's hit to short resulted in death at the initial bag, but Reitz hit over third for two bases, and on Wagner's fly to Jones took third, going home on Myers’ double Myers was left at second, however, on Wrigley’s out at first on Haliman’s assist. In the sixth inning La Chance’s bounder over first was nicely fielded to Mercer at first, but without a second to spare. Tucker's hit to first put him out, and Hall- man’s fly fell in Selbach’s hands and re- alned therein. Mercer popped a fly to Magoon, Selbach sent a fly to Jones, but Gettman reached first on Hallmans low “thrown, being thrown out at seccrd a moment later. Shindle started the seventh by hitting to Wrigley and dying at first. Magoon flied to Wagner and Ryan was thrown out at first by Wrigley. ‘ Anderson was asked for a homer, but Wes thrown out by Magoon. McGuire flied to the same player and Reitz put one in Griffin's hands. Dunn started the eighth inning by com- pelling Selbach to make a circus catch of his fly back of short. Griffin's fly was taken .by Gettman, and one of Mercer's swift ones caught Jones in the back, and was caught at second on McGuire's pretty throw to Wrigley. Wagner, in the Senators’ half, singled to right center, but was forced on’ Myers’ hit to Dunn. Wrigley placed a single back of second. Mercer was then beseeched to win his game. He replied by hitting to center, scoring Myers, Wrigley going to third and he to second on the throw in. Wrigley ran home on Selbach’s long fly to Griffin. Gett- man then reached first on Magoon’s bad throw, Mercer going to third, wheré he was left on Anderson's out at first from Hallman. With the score 3 to 2 against the visitors La Chance started the ninth inning by beating Reitz’s fine throw of his hot bound- er to first. Tocker’s long fly was cared for vice. The bill was amended so as to in- clude all officers. The Senate also Passed a bill to change the times for holding courts in the eastern district of North Carolina; also the House bill to amend the statutes Felating to the bonds of vice consuls and the quarterly returns of business by consu- lar officers, and the Senate bill amending the laws relating to American seamen for their protection and to promote commerce. = Enlistment of Cooks, ‘The Senate has ised a bill providing for the enlistment &® cooks in the volunteer army.

Hallman was then forced by Shindle, La Chance going to third. Shindle stole second and he and La Chance went home on Magoon’s hit over third. McGuire was implored for an old-time Eoliday hit, but the best he could do was a little fly to Magoon. Wagner raised the hopes of the crowd with a single to center, but on Reitz’s liner to Magoon he was caught off first, and fhe crowd silently left the grounds. Scor ‘Washington.

The Washington club left St. Louis at an early hour Sunday moraing, and arrived In this city at 8 o'clock this morning. With the -exception of Charley Farrell, all are in firet-class snape and well pleased with themselves over their record of breaking even on their western trip. Ms Bad luck erojped out during the trip bem>. As -the train was rounding a curve Charley Farrell was thrown against the Goor of a car, and as he put out his right hand to protect himself from collision, this useful member was caught between the door and the jam, smashing the second fing2r so badly that there is hardly a pos- sibility that the heavy hitting catcher will be in the game again before a week has passed away. Farrell was considerably cest down over the accident, as he has been hitting wonderfully hard and timely of late and his presenc> on the team this morning would no doubt have done much toward landing a victory. While elated over the success of the club on the western trip, Mr. Wagner said this morning to a Star reporter that the Sena- térs would have done even better with a little luck coming their way. Another game should have been won in Cincinnat! and two more in Louisville, but the luck was on the other side, and, of course, deteats instead of victories fell to the Washington boys’ lot. Mr. Wagner had nothing but praise for every one of his players, McGuire is pleas- img all the men by the way he is acting as manager. and they ask for nothing better than that he be kept throughout the sea- son. Wrigley, Myers, Reitz and McGuire have been playing good, steady ball, while the outfield has come into the greatest amount of praise from the papers in the different cities they have played in for the brillianey of their work. Gus Weyhing, Win Mercer, Swaim and Donovan have ali done splendidly, the former especially as- tenishing old friends and creating new ones by his phenomenal work. Donovan is gradually rounding to, in the matter of centrol, and should make a winning twirler before the season is out. SHOWING. Won Half the Games Western ‘Trip. The Senators played their twelfth game of their second western trip at St. Louis Saturday, defeating the Browns by 9 to 1 with the greatest ease, and making a total of six games won, and = six Toston the trip, an average of 500, the best ever made by a Washington league club on a western trip. It was an even break with the St. Lou: people, and to the ineffective work of Esper and Glipatrick, their twirlers, was due the downfall of Tim Hurst's men. Esper pitched the first three innings, four runs resulting from five hits for a total of seven bases, During the six innings Gilpatrick officiated nine hits were made by the visitors for a total of fourteen bases, five runs r ulting. Gus Weyhing pitched for the Washington men, and but four hits were made off him, the solitary run of the Browns b if made in the seventh inning. the Senators seored one run in the first inning, on Selback's double, Gettman’s sa rifice and Anderson's fly to Stenzel. - In th next inning they. got three men across the plate on three hits, a steal and two outs, In the fifth inning they sent the same num. ber of men home on Anderson's three-ba; ger, singles by Farrell and Wrigley, and Myers’ triple. Three singles in the eighth gave them a run and Anderson's double, an out and Farrell's single gave them another in the last inning. The one run of the Browns was on Myers’ low throw to first, a long fly to right and Sugden’s single to left. Other Saturday games: Louisville, 1; Baltimore, 0.

At Cincinnati the Reds took two games from the Browns yesterday. * Dammann end Sudhoft were the opposing twirlers in the first game, and Hill and Carsey and Esper in the second.

Louisville FARRELL LEADS THE LEAGUE. The Duke is Nine Points Keeler in Batting. Charley Farrell, the hard-hitting catcher of the Washington team, today leads the league in hitting, with an average of .290, being nine points ahead of Willie Keeler of the Baltimore club, the seccnd man in tha race. The next best batsman on the home Ahead of team is “Old Reliable’ Jim McGuire, with | an average of .325. Reitz is but five points beniud the playing-manager of the Sena- tors, with .320, and but nine points behind De Montreville. ‘The averages of the other Washington men are as follow:: Selbach, 33d, 813; Doyle, 45th, 297; Gett- |, .289; Mercer, 61st, .281; Wrigley, Myers, 96th, .254; Weyhing, 149th, 158, The average of Anderson, the Washing- ton slugger, was inadvertently omitted from the list of these averages, which were made up by the Philadelphia Press, but he 4s said to be well above the .200 mark. ‘Tho Senaters are shown to be fifth in batting end last in fielding. Base Ball Notes. The last inning was a heart breaker. Dunn certainly pitched a masterly game. The contest throughout was replete with brilliant plays. The first run.of the Senators was of the earned class. Reitz led off with a two-bag- ger, and quicker than wink Myers did the same, both hits being beauties along the Jeft field foul line. Nothing has been heard from Jack Doyle, and his case remains stationary. He is still at Aslwwry Park recurereting. ‘Wrigley is certainly a hard luck player. He can play the most brilliant ball tmagin. able, but just as’ soor as he pulls off a little error the misplay is almost certain to be of the most costly character, He had a double play cliched this morning in the ee up a, the little error, and en almost sure ory Was-wafted ay thew " way on it new man Magoon, playing short f Brooklyn, seoms to fill the bill nicely.

The Regular Shoot of the , * Capital Gun Ctup, The hot weather rrevented a large at- tendance at th? rogular weekiy practice shoot of the Capital City Gun Club, held at the Highlands Saturday, but thos: who went out found the shady grounds most pleasant, and they*came back to the city fn the evening well fortified to stand the sultriness of the night. Owing to a v2xa- tious error in the report of the practice shoot of the previous Satutday, which was published in The Star last Tuesday, it was made to appear that the shoot was held Sunday. Of course this was a mistake, as naither the club.or Manager Benton allows any shooting on, the grounds on Sundays. The first shoot last Saturday was at 50 clay pigeons thrown from hidden traps, un- known angles. Wagher and Nutting faced the traps. The score resulted in Nutting breaking 45 and Wagr.:r 44.

From the Chicago Times-Herald “Tragedies In our own camps—outside of battles—were more common than the public knows,” said a distinguished soldier in at- tendance upon “the recent reunion of the Army of the Tennessee. “The shooting of Maj. Gen. Nelson at Louisville by Brig. Gen. Jeff C. Davis, be- cause Nelson in a fit of anger had called Davis a long string of hard names, is one of tha few that came to the surface. You wouldn't think It probable, but I myself was onee so close to a tragedy that it makes my gray hair rise up as I recall it. “While a number of officers of the regi- ment were in the major’s tent I said some- thing that a captain took exc2ptions to, y ved.

Thinking that our troubles had completely healed, 1 con- sented. On the way back to camp We pass- through an orchard. I climbed a tree to get some apples. Just as I reached for an apple I saw the captain reach for his re- volver and glare at me like a very fiend. Instantly I loosened my hold and dropped to the ground. Seizing a stak2 I took my place by his side and said, ‘Now, you cow- ardly dog, put up that gun or I'll brain you.’ This time he was kept on’a hot grid- die for a month, though I made no threats and had no thought of reporting his at- tempt to assassinate me. “The next fight we got into we made up for good_and all, and remained fast friends until the final round-up, when General Joe Johnston had his men throw down their guns and go home to ‘make a crop.’ It happened in this way: The colonel had given the erder to form line of battle. As adjutant it was my duty to see that each captain carried out the order. When I reached the would-be assassin and had per- formed my duty and started to go away he called out, ‘Adjutant, come back." When I complied he took my hand, looked me squarely in the eye, and said: ‘Lieutenant, can you forgive me for all of my meanness to you? I hope so. I have never had a good hour since that incident in the orchard.’ “With all my heart, captain. No one but you and myself knows anything about that little affair." clinched, and for three or four minutes had | | burg. lows, who never stay under fire longer than they are forced to stay. I made direct for three of them with my drawn sword. Two of them went back to duty. The third told me to go where it was hot- a second ter than it was that day at Get- tysburg, and said he going back, no matter if the whole staff stood in the wag. ‘Go back to your place instantly,’ I de- manded. At that he cocked his rifle and was lifting the barrel so that 1 would get ils contents. Down went my sword to the ground and out came my revolver. Quicker than I can tell you it cracked and the man fell dead. Yes, It was a case of shoot him or be shot. 1 only wanted to disable him, but that was no time to hunt for a good place to disable without killing. A second more and he would have killed me. “Then, why do you say you would give a million dollars to forget the incident?" “It is an awful thing to kili a humaa be- ing. I can see just how that man fell ba with an oath on his lips. I don’t like You wouldn't. 1 have commande panies, a regiment, a brigade and a to do wholesale killing in battle. That was what we enlisted to go. That is different from shooting a man, one ef your own sol- diers, at your side. I shall always regret that it became my duty to have a hand im that army tragedy.” “Report to your headquarters under ar- rest, sir!” The colonel of a western regiment hissed that remark to his lieutenant colonel as he dismissed the parade one evening in De- cember, 1864, a few miles back of Pevers- it. com- visica I refuse to go, d— you,” was the reply. “Adjutant, see that Lieut. Col. Blank goes to his quarters at once,” said the angry colouel, who was in the right, for the lieutenant colonel, who had been drinking, had disobeyed orders. The adjutant knew both officers well, and that it would not do for them to come to- gether that night. He had a merry time of it keeping them apart. The leutenant colonel would jump up and start for the cabin door with a threat to go to the colonel’s quarters and cut him down with his sword. He was a powerful man, able to carry out his threat unless the colonel should get the drop. Once the arrested offi- cer got away and was half way to the colonel’s cabin, with sword drawn. “Stop, man,” said the adjutant. “Would you blot your record of three years by committing murder? Think of that. Think of your wife and children. Come back to your quarters. You shall not go a step farther in that direction until you have killed me.” “I don’t want to kill you, but I'm going to kill the colonel.” “All right, kill him, but wait until tomor- row—uniil it is light. Don’t shoot a man in the dark. That is no way for a brave man to do.” He went beck to his bunk and r until morning. “How can 1 get out of this scrape, adju- tant?” - “Write the colonel an apology.” He wrote it, and the adjutant took it to the colonel, who read it, laughed and said, “Bring Col. Blank to my quarters.” They met like a pair of brothers, and to this day the adjutant believes that he prevented an army tragedy, and I gvess he did. starve them, ‘but it ecems thelr cables.
