The Bank of England's Pet Deprived of lis Due. From the Lendon Mail, The Bank of England cat wears a dis- corsolate air just now. He, the admired of all visitors to the Old Lady of Thread- needle street, the famous Persian feline who has sat in the court yard through times of financial stress and periods of monetary ease, feels that he has been un- Justly—not to say scurvily—treated by the powers that be. The trouble rose in thts w Last year, like many other West Enuers, two Hyde Park wood figeons mi- grated to the city, and repented of it in due course. These misguided birds spied the tree im the Bank of England court yard, and forthwith resolved to make it their Lome. While the pigeons billed and cooed and ‘built their nest, the bank cat watched the proceecings with a twinkle in the corner of his reline eye. In due time a brood of young pigcons were hatched, and then the bank cat, feeling that the bill. so to speak, had matured, leisurely proceeded to climb the tree, and having arrived at the nest, devoured the youthful family without more ado. Early in the present season the West End pigeons, in no wise intimidated by ‘he murder of their ofispring, again appeared on the scene, and once more commenced to build a nest. Grimalkin smacked his lips in anticipation, but judge of his disgust when a workman, sfter gazing at the tree for a considerable time, constructed & wire barrier, something like a torpedo nei, and ade the tree absolutely impregnable to aults. The bank cat had seen a Baring crisis and divers rises and falls in the bank rate of discount, but he had never witnessed arything like this before. He feels that he has been cruelly robbed of his per- quisites, and that, too, by men of whom he expected better things. His contention Is uncerstood to be that pigeons who come into the city must expect to be plucked, and it pains him to realize his opinion is not shared by the bipeds who contr: the bank's affairs. It is sald that the decision to put up the wire net was arrived at after due con ider- ation by the bank directors themselves. Be this as it may, it would take more than = fall tn the official rate of discount or @ sharp rise in consols to make the bank cat emerge from the deep gloom into which eecent events have driven him.

This is the was s Philadelphia Press described it The Senators were the Phillies’ guests yesterday afternoon at Broad and Hunt- ingdon streets, and were entertained by Pitcher Piatt. He showed them a few new curves invented out in Ohio, and when the matinee was over the Phillies had added six points to their percentage column. A hard game was looked forward to, as Mercer was in the box for Washington, but Winnie was not as effective as usual and quit after four innings. Donovan, who took his place, did much better, but the game had been lost, as Piatt was almost invincible after the third inning, and the Phillies took the game by a score of 6 to 2. Piatt received perfect support from his comrades, most of the chances offered by the Washington men being easy. The only real hard chance of the game was Wrig- ley’s fly to the right field corner in the fourth, which was captured by Flick after a hard run. The visitors started of on Piatt as though they would repeat the dose Chicago gave him, Selbach and Wagner both making two-baggers, which, however, gave them their only run of the inning. Anderson foulcd cut and McGuire was hit (2). Reitz’s hit was too hot for Lauder to handle, and the bases were full. Kinslow fied to La- Joie, and Wagner tried to come home on the out, but was an easy victim. The Phillies did as well as Washington, Cooley scoring on his single and steal, an error by McGuire and Lajoie’s fly to Ander- son. Setbach and W: hits ner again led off with in the third, and Anderson's sacrifice re in him being safe at first, filling the bags. McGuire forced Wagner at third and Lauder should have had a double piay, but threw wild to first. Selbach scored on the play, and this was the last run Wash- ington got. The Phillies won the game in the fourth, batting Mercer out of the box. Wrigley fumbled Lauder’s grounder and Cross forced Lauder at second. It should have been a double play, but Wrigley threw pocrly to firs SS stole second and Piatt was retire at first by Wrigley. The latter could have nailed Cross at third, but he did not have his head about him. Cooley, Douglass and Delahanty followed with safe hits, sending in three runs. Eee runs Were secured off Donovan in t eighth, when he hit Cross and Piatt gled. Cooley sacrificed, Delahanty send- ing the runners in with a pretty single to center. Attendance, 5,831. Score: a R.

In Philadelphia again today. Mercer kicked hard in Saturday's game. Piatt was easy for Selbach and Wagner. The Senators played a rocky game in the field. Gettman leaves the plate about as quick any man in the league. The Philadelphia Times says that Tom Kinslow’s arm appears to be gone, as there was little speed in his throws to second. Gettman must have been admiring him- self, says the Philadelphia Times, when Delehanty sent out his high fly in the eighth inning that went safe. Had Donovan been put In at the start of Saturday's game the Phillies would have had hard work winning. Reitz robbed Lauder of a base hit in the fourth inning of Saturday’s game by taking his grounder well over the second bag while on the full run. ‘Pepper’ turns tricks like that frequently in Washington. Jimmy Rogers, the ex-Senator and ex- Louisville manager, 1s now with the Lyons, N. Y., club, a third-rate professional team. if ever a player had the earmarks of a first-rater Rogers had when he first came to Washington. He simply fooled every- body. The Philadelphia papers say that the Washington club is doing more kicking than any club seen there this seasop. They are claiming absolutely everything. The average ‘‘fan” will be glad to know the team {s doing something. There were some flowers at the Philadel- phia grounds for Gus Weyhing, but Au- gustus was not in uniform and the specta- tors were not treated to the formal presen- tation, which came off at the hotel after the game. Tommy Corcoran, the Cincinnati short stop, ran against a piece of hard luck yes- terday. In making a play for third base Steinfeldt cut loose with all his strength, | the ball slipped from ‘his hand and struck Tommy back of the head, knocking him selseless and putting him out of the game. It is thought the injury is serious. The shifting of Wrigley to third ari Wagner to short in the Senators’ infield may not prove as bad as it looks. Wrigley will play a much better third than Wagner, as he can throw io first better on bunted balls, while the Homestead boy will prob- ably ‘be steadier at short, although not as brillant. Wagner is wanted in the game on account of his hitting, and will feel more at home at short. Amole, the left-hander, who was with Baltimore a short time last season, went to Washington In the Doyle deal and drift- ed to Buffalo, pitched a shut-out game for ey team against Ottawa. He allowed four ts. Earl Wagner says that the Washington club could use just such a man as Stein- feldt on third base. Captain Ewing says there Is no danger of the Texan Being dis- posed of. Walter Wilmot has been appointed-man- ager of the Minneapolis cli ib, replacing Gug Schmelz. He formerly managed Minneapo- lis before being signed by New York. Ar- thur Ball, the Orioles’ utility man, played for Wilmot in Minneapolis and it was on suects recommendation that Hanlon got Norfolk lost three games at Lancaster on Saturday to the home team. The first game was forfeited, but the two others were nine-inning contests, in each of which Norfolk made but three hits, making one run in the first and none in the last. One of the purposes of the Brush rule Was to stop this loud coaching, but Brush’s hirelings do not seem to mind it.—Chron- icle-Telegraph. The Brush rule has noth- ing to do with kicking or coaching unless obscene language is used. The Washington club is willing to pay $2,000 for a third baseman, provided it be allowed to try the man a month before he is accepted. Mr. Wagner says he wants no experiments, but will pay good money for the right man. At present his prospects of securing the desired man are slim.—Cincin- nati Exchange. Manager Bancroft telegraphed Rosie Weber Saturday, asking him to meet him Sunday. Mr. Bancroft is acting as an em- issary for the Washington club, which 1s anxious to secure another pitcher. The Cincinnat! players spoke to Mr. Wagner about Weber, and he is willing to give the Cincinnati boy a trial, provided satisfactory terms can be arranged. If Weber signs he wilt join the Senators in Chicago next week.—Cincinnat! Enquirer. During the time Mercer was on the slab Saturday he was hit for seven hits, includ- ing a double, which, together with some poor fielding on the part of the Senators, yielded the Phillies four runs. During the time Donovan operated on the slab he struck out five men and only allowed two hits. That of Delehanty’s in the eighth would have been an easy out had Gettman been awake.—Philadelphia Times. The New York papers are telling a story about the alleged rowdy actions of Fred Clarke of the Louisvilles. Among other things it was claimed that Clarke threw a bat at Scrappy Joyce. There are several reasons why this story is not true. To start with, Clarke is not given to such a display of temper. The very fact that Clarke is alive and well is another circum- stance that gives the lie to the story. Clarke or nobody else could throw a bat at Serappy Joyce on the New York grounds and get away with his life. What Scrap- py, Jack Doyle and some of Freedman’s pluggers and heelers would do to anybody throwing a bat at Joyce would be a plenty. The newspaper man who wrote that story must have been suffering from strabismus, IN FIELDING LAST. The Washingtons Rank Fifth in the League in Batting. Another batch of base ball averages is just out and covers the first half of the season, which ended a week ago last Sat- urcay. In club batting the Washingtons stand fifth, while in fielding they are last. Baltimore leads in batting, while Cleve- land leads in fielding. In batting Hamilton of the Bostons leads the league, with an average of .892, Charley Farrell being sec- ond, with .390.

G 100 Pitchers’ fielding averages are not giv Last week’s work at the bat will send several of the Senators up in the batting averages. pecially is this so of Mercer and Wagner. Charley Farrell went to the bat only once last week and made a hit, and this safety will boom him a little, maybe enough to pass Hamilton. In field- ing Anderson is absolutely last of the first basemen, McGann of Baltimore leading the bunch. Reitz stands fifth of the second basemen, being tied with De Montreville, both being ahead of Padden, Childs and Gleason. Crooks of St. Louis leads the pro- cession in this position. Myers is our only representative at third base, but he is now out. He was next to last in a crowd of fif- teen. At short stop Wrigley is next to last, and is really last, as Hall of the St. Louis is out of the | Selbach stands 22 in fielders’ averages; Gettman, 34, and Wagner, 46, the latter bringing up the rear. Anderson's fielding figures in the above table are taken as a first baseman, while Wagner's are taken as a fielder; both men are therefore sized up out of position and @ true line is not possible. Wallace leads the third basemen; Davis of New York, the short stops; O'Connor, the catchers, and Tiernan of New York, the fielders, MORAN TO RACE MICHAEL. It Was Feared That He Would Be Unable to Ride. It looked Saturday as though A. Cc. Mcran, the local middle-distance bicycle rider, would be unable to appear Wednes- day evening in his ten-mils paced race with Jinmy Michael, the Welsh wonder, at Cycle Park track, on the Conduit road. Since the agreement for the match was made Mcran has been training hard. Last week he did exceptionally hard work. Early in the season he suffered several falls, and with one or two falls received in training he carried a number of bruis The in- Juries, which appeared to be only surface s, were treated in the dressing room y the trainer in the usual manner. On one arm there was a big bruise which fail- ed to respond to any treatment. Instead of getting well just the reverse was the case and the arm swelled away out of pro- portion. His condition was such Saturday that his arm was much larger jn circumference than his leg. The cyclist was taken to the Emergency Hospital, suffering intense pain. The doctors upon examining the arm pronounced it a case of blood poison- ing. The arm was lanced, reducing its size considerably. The pain was so in- tense, however, that the bicyclist fainted. Later he was taken home and put to bed. Moran was advertised to go against the five-mile track record. paced, at the meet Saturday evening, and his failure to appear disappointed the audience, who were not aware that he was at his home in bed. It was feared for a time that his injured arm would prevent his appearance Wednesday | evening to race against Michael. Tne management of the park stated that if Mcran could not ride another man would be put in his stead. Bobbie Walthour of Atlanta was practically selected. Wal- thour has been training with Moran all of last week, and as the second man from the pacing machine made an excellent shewing. This morning it was stated that Moran had improved “wonderfully, though - still confined to his bed. Mr. J. D. Lasley, the president of the Park Bicycle Club, stated to a Star reporter that Moran would ride Wednesday evening. On account of his present condition he was not able to do eny riding today, but tomorrow he will be out on the track following his regular course of training. He did not seem to think that the few days’ rest would injure his chances of winning. The regular weekly race meet tomorrow evening on the Colisseum track at Balti- more will be one of the most important of the season. Jack Prince has arranged for a twenty-five-mile paced match race be- tween Jimmy Michael and Fred Titus. A purse will be offered for the win- ner and a side bet of $2,500, it is said, has been made by the riders. It will be a paced affair, and the event has aroused considerable interest in Baltimore. A dele- gation of Washington riders will go over and enter the professional events. Immediately after the Baltimore races Michael and his pacing crew will come to this city. His advance agent, Mr. E. G. Cooke, who was in this city last Friday, stated that the bicyclist would leave for this city directly after the Baltimore races, though possibly Michael might change his mind and remain over night at Baltimore. Headquarters in this city will be estab- lished at the Hotel Oxford. Quarters have been engaged for thirty-five men. This number includes practically all the track employes of the American Cycle Racing Association, the stars, pacemakers and other officials. Their stay in this city de- pends entirely upon the condition of the weather. Should it rain Wednesday the party will remain over and race Thursday evening. In connection with the Michael-Moran ten-mile match race Wednesday evening, there will be a program of several .sprini races. With Michael will be Edouard Tay- jore, the French rider, who in a recent match race at Philadelphia with Tom Lin- ton established a world’s hour record of 33 miles 936 Taylore will give an exhibition paced ride of perhaps five miles, Fred Titus, the five-mile unpaced cham- jplon of the country, wha will also accom: pany Michael here, will go against the mile record, paced pei papsty and quints. In the sprint there will be only one: event, and it is expected that a good many of Michael's crowd will be entered. The events are as follows: First rece Cor ls novice, prize, gold medal valiied at $10. Second race—Two-nfile handicap, profes- sional; prizes, fifSt, $0; second, $20; third, $10; fourth, $5. Third race—One-mile handicap, amateur; prizes, rings valued, at,$15, $10, $5, for first, second and third places, respectively. cooper T6 RACE scHADE. amateur; Arrangements Being Made for a@ Series of Contests. It is understood that arrangements are being made for X series of races between Fred. Schade of this city and Tom Cooper of Detroit, the Wetaits of which are not ready for publiéation. It is the general pian to have three races of one mile each. Each rider will be paced by triplets. It | ts also proposed ‘to put a time limit of 1.55 on-each heat, a failure to come within this time to result in the race being run over again. These terms are said to. have been proposed by Schade, who feels certain that he can defeat Cooper by this style of rac- ing.

Thous&nds of dollars were bet, and won on ‘Michiel, at odds of 100 to 0. There was “plenty of Linton money, tco, and in the history of cycling there has never been suchya large amount wag>red on a contest. Michael lost a race against Linton a week Beforé, through a bursted tire, and he pun¢tured a tire in a prepara- tory spin around,the,track yssterday. In the contest there; wasi considerable jockey- ing and no records were broken, but some single miles were fast. The ninth was made in 1.88 4-5.? Micha21 was first away, and he assumed the lead in the first fifty yards. Before he had gone 20) yards a chain broke on his cing machine, and according to the agreement the fiders were recall2d to the starting point. _Again Michaél took’ the lead. For the first five miles there was no change in the pesition of th> competitcrs, and at no time wes there a space of ten yards between them. The pacing machines were all quints, but Michael picked up his much better than Linton. In the seventh mile Michael's men got tired making the pace, and they jockey- ed in an effort to force Linton to the front, but he would not go. In the tenth mile Linton passed Michael, but cnly held th: lead for a quarter of a lap. In the twentieth mile Linton passed Mi- chael, who in the twenty-first again led, and took the spunk out of the big fellow. Mi- chael cross2d the tape a winner by 170 yards. The crowd surged from the infield and almost carried the winner and his wheel to the dressing shed. In addition to the big race there wer2 two amateur and two professional events on the program, A MILE IN TWO MID UTES. Record for a Competition Event Made by Fred. Sims. At the tenth race meet of the season of the Park Bicycle Club, Saturday evening, an interesting program of events was wit- nessed by about 1,000 persons, The profes- sional tandem heat race and the riding of Fred Sims were the features of the even- ing. In the one-mile professional handi- cap, Sims from scratch mowed Gown the field in front of him, and easily won out in the finish. His time was 2.00 flat, breaking the record established at Baltimore about three weeks ago by John S. Johnson, who made a mile im 2.00 1-5, establishing a com- petition record. Last week at the Park track Sims rode ‘the mile handicap, from scrateh, in 1.59 4-5, but as he did not win the race the record was not allowed. The tandem pursuit race was entered by five teams, Samuel Horney and C. B. Parker of Baltimore being among the num- ber, The first heat was sufficient to show the Baltimoreans that they had no chance of winning, and in the subsequent heats they went in to furnish pace. All uf the heats were run in good time. Lee Counsel- man was substituted for A. C. Moran in the five-mile exhibition race against time for the Lasley trophy. His time fur the distance was 9.53, breaking his best pr vious performance, amateur, of 10.02 4- He was paced by three triplets, and un- doubtediy would have made better time had faster pace been furnished. ‘The sum- mary: _First race, one mile, novice, amateur— First heat, C, Heffner, first, O.

CASTS LIGHT ON MAINE EXPLOSION No Doubt That She Was Blown Up by Outside Influence. THE- DESTRUCTIVE SHELLS Correspondence of the Associated Press. OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 12.— “Any doubt that may have existed that the Maine was blown up by an outside explosion has been dissolved by the examination of the destroyed Spanish ships,” said a mem- ber of thé board of survey that examined the remnants of Admiral Cervera’s fleet. “Of four ships examined three had been blown up by their magazines,” he contin- ued, “and of these, one had every magazine exploded and torpedoes in addition, yet on none of them was there the same effect as that produced by the explosion on the Maine. There was no upheaval of the keel and little bulging of the plates except in the immediate vicinity of the explosion. The effect was nearly altogether upward, in some cases the protective deck being lifted, but outside of the springing of a few plates the hulls were intact.” The examination of the wrecks of the Spanish ships, three of which were burned and all their magazines exploded, was made, first, for the purpose of ascertaining the effect of America, gunnery, and, sec- ondly, to find the effect of internal ex- plosion. The Awful Effect. Both subjects bore upon the Maine inci- dent, as noted above, and the awful effect or well-aimed shots was demonstrated in the rapid sinking of the fleet. When it Is remembered that the Almirante Oquendo and the Infanta Maria Teresa were both sunk within forty mirutes of the time they left the entrance of Santiago harbor, the werk of the American gunners may well be ccnsidered as remarkable. The Almirante Oqvendo was struck over fifty-five times and the Infanta Maria Teresa thirty-seven times, but by larger projectiles. The record of the Camages to thes is one of great interest. The fight at a range of 6,000 yards, or three At and were annihilated. The closest fighting was done at 1,100 and 1,000 yerds by the Brooklyn and Vizcaya, with arnihilating effect on the Spanish’ ship. But two projectiles larger than eight-ine! struck a vessel, both of these, either iwelve or thirteen-inch, being put through the In- fanta Maria Teresa. The eight-inch, six-inch, five-inch and six-pounder projectiles did the bulk of the work, and were frightfully destructive. Scme idea of the effect can be obtained frem a brief summary of the injuries to each ship as fourd by the examining board The board nad vpon it such capable men as Executive Officer Rogers of the lo} Executive Officer Mason of the Brooklyn, an expert on the effect of shells on arm Lieut. Husssler of the Texas, who has made some splendid improvements in gun firing on that ship, and Naval Constructor Hebson of Merrimac fame, who has a rep- utation for knowledge of ship construction. The Shots That Hit. briefly, these officers found Cristobal Co- miles. rds two torpedo boats lon, battle ship. first-class, with six inches of steel for protection not only on the water Inne, but around the six-inch guns. This ship was hit with large projectiles but six times, as it kept out of range nearly the whole time, pasing behind the other ships for protection and finally making a run for it. The hits "were mace by the Brooklyn and Oregon. One eight-inch shell went into the port side of the ward room and left on the starboard side without exploding, but cleaned out everything in the room. A five-inch hit just above the armor belt and a six-inch struck her on the bow. None of the injuries sufficient to put her out of actior nor as serious as those received by the Brooklyn, at one time her sole an- tagonist. The assertion that the Brooklyn as overhauling her and that the Oregon's terrifle thirteen-inch guns were shooting rearer and nearer and that escape was im- possible, scems to be the correct solution cf her surrender. The Vizcaya, armored cruiser, is of the same class as the battle ships Texas and Maine. She carries two 11.5-inch guns and ten 5,5-inch guns with protections ten and twelve inches thick, double and treble that of the Brooklyn. This ship was the special prey of the Brooklyn and the Oregon, al- though the Texas, after her destructive work on the Almirante Qquendo and Teresa, aided a little at long range. The Vizcaya, exclusive of one-pounders and rapid-fire hits which swept her deck, was hit with large projectiles fourteen times and by six-pounders eleven times. The eight-inch guns of the Brooklyn and Oregon and the six-inch guns on the Ore- gon and five-inch on the Brooklyn tore her structure above the armor belt almost into while the six-pounders and one- 3 made it too warm for men to stand at the guns. The Texas got in a few six-inch shots and the Iowa landed a couple of four-inch shells. No thirteen or twelve-inch shells struck her. Fired by the Texas. The Infanta Maria Teresa, the flagship of the same build as the Vizcaya, was badly punished, and was the only one of the four ships hit by twelve or thirteen- inch projectiles, She has two of that size Gora aereh her, and the position of one would tend to.demonstrate that it was fired by the Texas. An eight-inch shell, un- doubtedly from the Brooklyn, because she was the only ship in line with the Maria Teresa's head as she turned west. entered just forward of the beam on the port side and exploding inside cleaned out the deck with four gun crews. This is the shot that Cervera said came from the Brooklyn and set fire to the ship. ‘The Teresa's great difficulty, and one that compelled her hurried surrender, was that all her fire mains were cut and she was unable to extinguish the fires that were driving her men from the guns. ‘The Almirante Oquendo, armored cruiser, same class as Vizcaya and Teresa, went through the most terrible ordeal of any of the ships, except the torpedo boats. Her upper works were one ragged mass of cut- up steel and her decks were covered with dead and dying. She was hit on the port side four times by 8-inch_ shells, three times by 4-inch shells, probably from the Iowa, two times by 6-inch shells and forty- two times by 6-pounders. The innumera- ble number of 1-pounders that struck her show that she met the fire of the entire fleet, as she turned last out of the tor- pedo boats that followed her, and the sec- ondary battery shots intended for them hit her. When she turned to the shore it was in a dilapidated condition. One of the findings of the board of sur- vey was that an 8-inch shell had struck the forward turret just where the gun opening was, and that every man in the turret was killed, the officer standing in the firing hood being still in that posi- tion. Another fact learned was that the torpedoes in some of the ships were al- ready loaded in the tubes and prepared to fire. —__ Only One William.

It would be perhaps unjust to the reader to disclose the final disposition of the much-complicated elements in the romance, which has gone through several | months of serial publication and has there- | fore whetted the appetites of its occasional | perusers.

The Healing Power of Light, Sun and Air Applied. From the Strand Magazin We had come to in the Julian Alps, for a month as the paying guests, among a hundred others, of a man who for thirty years past has been preaching—not altogether in the wilderness—the healing power of light, sun a applied to th body of man as God made it art, he insists, is The tailor’s anti-hygienic, a source of moral and physical degradation. There may be occasions for simple covering, but there are equally, in the Interests of wh: someness d vitality, occasions for ab- sence of clothing. In rdance with the rules of the game therefore, we rose every morning soon aft five, and having walked, my friend and to the Hill of Men, our wives to the H Women, in the scantiest clothing ent with what is called decency, we forth- with spent the early hours wandering or reclining in sun or shadow, jumping, dig- xing or reaaing, according to temperament, nd breakfasting on the milk, bread and honey we had brought with us from the hut 4 After our strange air-bath on the top the hill, we used to walk back, clothed, to another strange bath at the bottom, where for the best part of an hour we lay out on a slanting r save for our heads, to the full the sun. Then, for twenty minutes by the clock, we were swathed tight in our blankets, and then taken indoors, plunged into a tub of tepid water, and massaged by expert attendants. By the time we got back on our bare—and infrequently tender—feet to the huts. e were quite ready for the simple vege- tarian midday meal that awaited us under the huge common dining room. The virtue of strenuous laziness dur: the healing time being also sternly inc cated by the healer, the afternoon general opened with delicious sleep, followed, at th option of the Individual, by either a modi- fied repetition of the morning's airing and sunning, by a lazy stroll with cam or book.

An Authority Recommends the Fur- nixshing of Better Shoes. From the Medical News, By far the most essential requisite of a soldier's outfit is a properly constructed, well-fitting shoe. We pointed out that th method of awarding contracts for footgear to the lowest bidder was bound to bring forth a very undesirable article unless the clesest watch was kept upon the various contractors. It seemed to us then, as it seems now, that it would be the right soxt of economy to place the contracts with the mest reliable manufacturers and pay them a price which would permit them an honest profit. Already complaints are finding their way into the public press. In the New York Herald of last week Col. R. E.
