Dineen allowed but seven hits off him, all singles, while Woods, who started the game for the Orphans, was knocked out of the box, retiring in the fourth Inning in favor of Thornton, off of whom but three saie- “s were made. Freeman, the Washington fielder Imported from Toronto, disting is ed himself at the bat, getting two homcrs and a double out of the four times at the bat. Anderson was not far behind, with a homer and a double. Dineen also caught the batting fever, sending one past Lange for three bases in the second inning, and scoring on Farrell's double to left. The Senators made thirteen safeties for twenty- seven bases. One of Freeman's homers was made in the opening inning, after Ander- son had doubled, the ball going to the bul- letin board in left field. The other one came in the third, the ball bounding past Ryan in right center. Anderson's was a s-placed ball in right which bounded into the bleachers. Every Senator got one or more hits but Reitz and Gettman. Di- neen struck out five men and gave six passes, but his fine pitching kept the hits well scattered, he being at his best when the bases were occupied.

WILSON AND MORAN Will Race at the Park Cycle Club Track. The entry blank for another race meet, which will be held Thursday, has made its appeerance, the main feature of which will be a match race between A. C. Moran and E. L. Wilson, both well-known local riders. The affair will be given by the Park Bicycle Club at its track on the Con- duit road, and will begin at 3 o'clock p.m. All of the events will be run off in daylight, and no more night races will be held this yeer. The first event on the program will be a one-mile novice for amateur aspirants for horcrs on the track. The prize will be the usual gold medal, the value of which is placed at $10. Despite the lateness of the issuance of the entry blank, it is ex- pected that a good field of riders will start in this race. In fact, it is thought that this event will have to be run in two heats. The second event will be a one-mile hand- icap amateur, the prizes for which will aggregzte $30. The first prize will value $15; the second, $10, and the third, $5. The last meet held at the park on Labor day witressed a race of this class in which there were something like twenty-five starters, embracing nearly all of the ama- tetrs in the city. One of the features of the meet will be a heat race for professional riders. The distance will be only two-thirds of a mile, which practically means that the entire distance will be one continuous sprint. The first prize will be $20 in cash; the sec- ond, $10, and the third, $5; a total of $30 in cash for the event. This race will be run on the order of the recent tandem heat race, which proved so Interesting. It will be the first time this season that a single pursuit race has been held. Enough heats will be run until some one rider wins two heats, and he will be declared the winner of the contest. In view of the fact that all of the professional riders now in town are evenly matched the race ought to be a close on> and take fuliy four or five heats, possibly more, before a decision can be reached. The main feature of the race will be the match race between Moran and Wilson. This race will be run in two or three heats, no time limit being placed on each heat. This is done to avoid any dissatisfaction that may arise. According to the terms of the agreement of the race the winner will be the rider who leads in two of the three heats. While it is possible that only two heats will be necessary to determine the winner, yct it is extremely likely that all three heats will be necessary to ascer- tain the rider entitled to the honor of win- ning. ‘The heats will be for two-thirds of a mile each. Pace will be furnished each rider, either by a ‘tandem or a tripiet. Only one machine will be used for each man, or two in the race. Moran will most likely have Schade, Mueller and Steenson to pace him along, while Wilson will undoubtedly have French, Counselman and Greer to help him out. The contestants themselves are re- garded as nearly equal in point of speed qualities, while the pacing teams that are given above are nearly evenly matched, all of which will tend to make the affair all the more close and exciting. The pacing outfit will carry the man to the last twelfth of a mile, and from this distance the riders will sprint to the tape, the best man win- nirg out. This is regarded as the best way of determining the riding abilities of both men, and the arrangements have been made ahead of time to prevent any confu- sion or misunderstanding arising over the outcome of the match event. The race is a direct outcome of the recent Sims. Schade match, the chance of bringing these two together again being regarded as almost hopeless. ward S$. Byrnes, the captain of the Century Cycle Club, has resigned his posi- tion in the club, much to the regret of the other members. Ever since the organiza- tion of the club some two or thres y ago he has held the office of captain. ing the absence of Charles H.

He leaves both offices for business reosons only. An attempt is being made to have the quarter-mile national championship trans- ferred from Baltimore to this city, giving to the monumental city the two-mile na- tional championship, which is scheduled for Washington. The circuit meet will be in this city on October 6, and at Baltimore a few earlier. In the scoring table the race given to this city has only six points for the winner, while the Baltimore quar- ter-mile has a sixty point first and the other points in proportion. The Baltimore race will be run at the Colosseum track, a six-lap affair, and the start for the quar- ter will be on a steep turn, making it im- ible to start four men abreast.

LONDON, Septemfér 24—The Hong Kong correspondent of thesDalty Mall says: “The Filipino congress has favorably tm- pressed the Europeas who have witnessed its proceedings. It is believed that its de- liberations will result in a petition to Pres- ident McKinley to establish a protectorate. “The attitude of the American army offi- cers toward the insurgents {s causing much unfavorable criticism among Europeans who have returned from Manila. They blame their almost criminal ignorance of the native character and their elementary ideas of colonizing. The officers seemed determined upon winning glory at the ex- pense of the insurgents by hatching imagin- ary 1evolts. Aguinaido has obeyed every order, whether accompamed by threats or not. ‘One insurgent chief at Pasay declined io move, and Aguinaido asked Gen. Otis not to proceed against him for four days so as to give him an opportunity to inter- view him. British Officer's Views. “A British naval officer who has just re- turned from Manila says: “-What is needed is a force acquainted with the Asiatic character. America does not seem to utilize the material she has at hand. Every one is surprised that O. F. Wiiliams, United States consul at Manila, was not sent to Paris instead of staff offi- cers who know littie of the Philippines. I am satistied that if Consul General Wild- man, who has lived among the Malays and is familiar with British colonial methods, were given power he could arrange every- thing satisfactorily with Aguinaldo. It is suicidal folly on the part of America that he has not been ordered to Manila long The Manila correspondent of the Times says: {Phe insurgents, urged by constant ru- mors of the intention of America to re-es- tablish Spanish rule in the archipelago, con- tinue actively recruiting their army. Hun- dreds from Manila «re enlisting daily, and troops are being drilled everywhere. Great diligence is exhibited in imitating the Amer- ican formation and manual, particularly in volley firing. Intrenchments in certain po- sitions are being strengthened, and a vig ilant line of pickets is kept outside the sub- urbs. At the same time the attitude of the insurgents is much more friendly than it was before the evacuation. More Arms Landed. “Several thousand rifles have recently been landed, and four new Maxims have also been received. The provincial leaders are paying into the insurgent treasury a certain portion of the fund cap.ured from convents, professing to reserve the remain- der for the payment of their troops: By this means they keep practically ‘ndepend- ent of the central authority, preserving the integrity of their own command. A general occupying one rich province sent o Aguin- aldo $35,000 In cash last week. “The agitation among the insurgents is stimulated by the clerieal party. which u s every effort ta influence the natives against American oceupation. Evidence to this effect is absolutely trustworthy, al- though Archbishop Dozal’and other promi- nent ecclesiastics strenuously deny all knowledge of such Actiém, and solemnly disclaim personal participation in it. “Strikes in all industries are becoming more extensive daily, and the labor ques- tion is fast growing ‘serious. The Ameri- cans unwisely continue to pay nearly three times the usual wages, causing discontent to spread r: y in<every class of work- men. All manufactwrers’ are much ham- pered; the tramway§ are frequently stop- ped, and railway opfrations are seriously crippled and a discontinuance of the service is threatened. ‘The strikers naturally drift into the insurgent ramks and, consequently, labor disturbances are not discouraged by the leaders. Evidence of American Intent. “The news from Washington that the battle ships Oregon and Iowa have been ordered here, and that 60.000 tons of coal would be shipped immediately 1s inter- proof of the in- tention of the government to hold the isl- and of Luzon. “Nothing important is reported from the insurgent congr which holds sessions daily at Malolos. The chief element of co- on is confessedly the fear of the return * Spanish domination. If the insur- ould re onable assurances of a permanent foreign occupation I believe the di ation of the revolutionary gov- nment would be speedy and complete. “The Spanish prisoners are now rigor- ously confined within the limits of the wall- ed town. There is much overcrowding in the small area, and it is impossible in the crowded quarters, in the absence of the proper appliances, to improve the present unsatisfactory sanitary conditions. The urgent necessity for removing the prison- ers is fully recognized by the authorities, but no remedy is in sight, and the health of the American troops and the pri 1s seriously threatened. Nearly 10 per of the former are already on the sici li Attempt to Poison Aguinaldo. ‘The Republica Filipina asserts that an at- tempt was made to poison Aguinaldo on Friday night. A steward, it 1s alleged, saw 4 Spanish prisoner who had been allowed his freedom make a moyemeni which ap- peared like tampering with a bowl of soup intended for Aguinaldo, whereupon the steward tasted a spoonful of the soup ana fell dead. Eleven Franciscan friars are al- leged to have been engaged in the con- spiracy. The populace, it is further said, attempted to lynch all the Spanish prison- ers, but Aguinaldo intervened. At Saturday's session of the national us- sembly, it appears, Aguinaldo was absent, but his representative 1clated the story of the outrage to the members, who unani- mously adopted the chairma proposal that they all go to Agninaldo’s house, ex- press sympathy with him and congratulate him upon his escape. , During the evening a special thanksgiv- ing service was held in the church at Malolos. _ Soup intended for Aguinaldo is now sub jected, it is stated, to 4 chemical analysis before being presented .o the insurgent leader, and the Spanish prisohers ure kept closely confined, ———+ e+ —_____ LEE’S EXCELLENT CAMP, GEN. Only a Few of the Sick Cases Are of @ Serious Nature. Lieutenant Colonel L. M. Maus, chief sur- geon 7th Army Corps, has made a report to General Lee, which shows the excellent condition of the camp‘at Jacksonville, Fla. There are three division hospitals with 769 persons undergoing treatment, and only a few of these cases are of a serious nature, principally typhoid fever. The water sup- ply comes from artesian ‘wells 800 to 1,000 feet below the surface. The grounds occu- pied by the three divisions are excellent for camping, and well fitted with every facility for disposing of refuge. The health of the camp is regarded as excellent. The hos- pitals are well supplied, and the medical staff competent in eyery. particular. Col. Maus regards Jacksonville as a most healthful location for a camp. — eee Orders to Cavalry Troops, The War Department has issued orders for the following changes of station among the cavalry regiments of the regular army: Seventh Cavalry, trom Department of Colorado to Huntsville, Ala., leaving their horses, which will be taken by the 9th Cav- alry, which is ordered-from Montauk to the Department of Colorado. The horses of the 9th Cavalry will be sent to Huntsville. The 2a Cavalry is ordered from Montauk to: the Department of Dakota, taking there the horses of the 8th Cavalry and sending their own horses to Huntsville. The 8th Cavalry, now in the Department of Dakota, upon be- ing relieved by the 2d Cavalry in that de- partment, is ordered to Huntsville for ser- vice under Major General Wheeler.

Representative From Texas Address- es Virginians at Chatham. Representative J. W. Bailey of Texai spoke last night at Chatham, Va., in Rep- resentative C. A. Swanson’s district. Mr. Bailey sald: “For months republican potiticians and republican editors have talked and writ- ten incessantly about the mistakes of the democratic minority in Congress; but now that they are required to specify our mis- takes in order to divert public attention from their own they find it impossible to make good their repeated and reckless as- sertions. In order to escape the just and universal indignation which has been aroused against them by the suffering In- flicted. upon the volunteer army through the incompetence or the dishonesty of those whom they have placed in power, they have been searching the Congressional Records and racking their brain to tind some damaging accusation which they can sustain against us. But they have not found it, and they will not find it. The record of the democratic party through- out the last and trying session of Co! gress is absolutely above all criticism. I do not say it with the purpose of cisim- ing any credit for myself: but as a mat- ter of simple justice to my democratic a sociates I declare that in all the history of this government no minority party ever passed through a war session of Congress with so much credit as did the democra:s of the present Congress. “The only important vote which we he- lieved at the time we cast it could ever be- come the subject of reasonable controversy was our vote against the war revenue Dill, and events have completely vindicated our course in respect to that measure. We op- posed the passage of that bill beceuse we believed that it authorized an unnecessary sale of interest-bearing bonds, and the condition of the treasury proves conclusiv. ly that we were right. When Congress con- Venes in December next it will find that the surplus in the treasury above the one hundred million gold reserve will exceed the amount received from the sale of bonds, thus demonstrating that there was no necessity for the government to sell its bonds. “Our republican friends cannot excuse themselves by saying that they could not foresee the early termination of the war, because every man who was reasonably well informed about the condition of Spain understood that it was impossible for her to continue a long and expensive struggle. Owing to the greater distance between her base of supplies and the seat of war It was certain that it would require the expendi- ture of at least $1.25 on the part of Spain to meet the expenditure of every dollar on the part of the United States. it was cer- tain, therefore, that if the war cost us 200,000,000 it would cost Spain $250,000,000, and where could she raise any such sum as that? Torn with civil strife, her throne claimed by a pretender, her pecple impov- erished, she could not levy additional taxes without precipitating bread riots within her own borders, and her only means ot carrying on the war was to borrow money. This she could not hope to do, because her bonds were already selling at 30 cents on the dollar in the markets of the world: and had she attempted to borrow $ 000 she would have been compelled to is- sue $800,000,000 worth of bonds. Before she could have sold one-half of that amount her credit would have fallen still tower, and her bonds would not have commanded 20 cents on the dollar. With an adversary unable to raise money by taxation and powerless to borrow it, the end of the war was in sight before it was begun. The republican leaders in Congress knew this as well as we did: or, if they did not know it, they are not wise enough to be intrusted with the adminis- tration of this government. But with the knowledge that the war must soon end, and knowing that with all their wasteful. ness and extravagance, it would probably not cost over $200,000,000, they proceeded to enact a law which imposes $150,000,000 in annual taxes upon the people, and author- izes the contraction of a ¥ z 000,000 debt. Upon that monstrous proposition almost every democrat in Congress voted ‘no,’ and our only regret today is that there was a single one of us who felt called upon by his sense of duty to support it.” TO PROTECT MISSIONARIES. Object of “a Recent Decree of Chinese Emperor. United Stat r Conger at Pekin has transmitted to the State Department a copy issued by the emperor, providing for the better protection of mis sionaries in China. “The importance of this decree, the minister, “is found in the fact that the emperor emphasizes the treaty provisions authorizing the promul- ation of the Christian religion and forcib! reiterates his instructiot to the author Ues in the various provinces to see to it that proper protection is accorded to mis- arie: and enjoins local officers to re- the ceive missionar: when they ordinarily all upon therm. Such an order, coming from the em- beror, has never before been prom: it will serve a good purpose, for m 1 now be able to m: direct to the officials concerning their k or their difficulties, and time, trouble and expense will thereby be saved’ It will be observed that action must be taken Without loss of time to bring all unsettled cases to a termination, and any lack of energy in this respect by the local authori ties is promised effective punishment. The higher authorities will also be held to ac- count, and none are to be allowed to shift their responsibility to others.” + e+ —____ rgeant Major Brayton Dead. SYRACUSE, N. Y., September 2% Maj.

This was responded to by Officers Goods and Hall, who, with the assistance of some citizens, cunveyed the wounded nan to the station house, where his wounds were dressed. He gradually recovered from the torpor into which the assault had thrown him, and this morning was able to talk freely about the affair. He stated that his name was Semuel Lowry, that he w a lumber in: ton, and had come to Alexandria y. business. Of the affair he could give but a vague account, being unable to r>memb what -happened immediately be sault. He remembered, soon erday evening on that at a late hour h> was on King st waiting for an electric car for Washington, He only knew that two men whom he could not describe ordered him to “hold up,” which he did. They then robbed him of everything but his watch, which he begged them not to take. It was, however, taken, after which Lowry remembers to have re- ed an awful blow on the head and to have fallen on the pavement, where he re- J unconscious for som? time. Orlando H.

The case was before Mayor Simpson this morning in the police court, but none of the prison- ers were Identified by Lowry, and the case Was continued until tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.
