POLLUTION OFTHE POTOMAC
District Commissioners Requested to Take
Measures to Prevent It
i<iueduct Authorities* Point Out Their
Inability to Do So?Some Inter
esting; Correspondence.
The Washington Team Took a Best |
Yesterday.
Dr. William Pope Young, secretary of
UTie District of Columbia Game and Fish
Protectee Association, recently addressed
a letter to the District Commissioners,
calling their attention to the recent article
In The Evening Star describing how the
Potomac was being polluted by the body
of a d-ad horse In the river at Edward's
Ferry, a few miles above Great Fall?.
The Commissioners referred Dr. Youns's
letter to Colonel Theodore A. Hinghnip. In
charge of the Washington aqueduct, wbo
yesterday replied to it. In the course of
his communication to Dr. Young, Colonel
Bingham wrote:
"This office has Invariably tried, so far
as lay witain its limited means, to prevent
or cure such occurrences as you apeak of,
but It hes never been possible to extend
this supervision above Seneca dam, which
Is about eight miles above Great" Fails.
So far as this "Aire knows, there is no
authority, further than perhaps the local
authorities along the banks of the river,
charged with keeping pollution out of the
Potomac river. With its limited means it
Is absolutely impossible for this office to
exercise such supervision as would be
necessary, and I doubt if there is legal
authority for th-j assumption of such
Supervision.
"Undoubtedly, such supervision should
be exercised, and this office will be glad to
co-operate as far as may be possible."
Upon rcceipt of this letter. Dr. Young
Pent a copy of it to the District Commis
sioners, requesting them to refer the mat
ter, so vital to the citizens of the national
capital, to the Maryland authorities, whose
Jurisdiction over the Potomac is claimed
to extend to low water mark on the Vir
ginia shore. If necessary, it was suggest
ed, appeal should be made to Congress.

DOl OLE CHPIBU SYSTEM.
Likely to Conilssr Throughout the
Base Hall Season.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Earl Wagner, the president and owner
of the Washington club, who is one of the
most enthusiastic rooters in the profession,
was so sick Sunday that he could not
leave the hotel. It is the first game play
ed by the Washington club in five years,
at home or abroad, that President Wag
ner has missed. He makes It a practice
to make all the trips with his team. There
are few better posted base ball men than
Earl Wagner. He knows the game in all
its most minute parts. The question of
abandoning the double umpire system was
introduced during the course of a conver
sation with the president of the Washing
ton club last night.
"I will strenuously oppose any move
ment looking to the reduction of the pres
ent staff of umpires," said President Wag
ner. "Not only will 1 oppose It, but I am
of the opinion that there will be a howl
go up from the public if an attempt is
made to go back to the old system of um
piring. No matter what a few grumblers
may say. the present system of umpiring
has been a great success."
"What clubs are in favor'of reducing the
staff of umpires?" was asked.
"None that 1 know of but the St. Irfiuis
and Louisville clubs," was President Wag
ner's reply. "They argue that the times
are too hard to carry such a big staff of
umpires. It would be a bad policy to cut
off such a fine feature on account of a
few dollars. If the staff of umpires was
to be reduced to six it would save each
club about $700 or $800. It would be a
nice thing to go before the public w!th
such a plea. Another thing, there is not
the necessity for retrenchment that there
was some time ago. Everywhere the in
terest in base ball is increasing. The at
tendance at all the parks is on the mend.
Now that the interest in the war has sub
sided a little, the people are coming back
to base ball. I expect the season to be a
gcod one after all. Here is something I
teceived tonight from President Young."
said President Wagner, at the same time
displaying a circular from the head of the
National League. The circular requested
President Wagner to name the men on the
piesent staff of umpires who. In his opin
ion, were Incompetent. "Every club in the
league received one of these circulars."
said President Wagner. "I presume this
circular Is to get a line on the ability of
the umpires to guide him in his efTorts to
improve his staff. There will be no trouble
about my reply to that circular. I will
tell him that the present staff is perfect
ly satisfactory. We have only lost one
game* this season through bad umpiring.
That game was with the Clevelands. My
team is a mystery to me."
"In what way?" was asked.
"It is a mystery what good ball they
put up against good teams and what bum
ball they play against the poorer members
of the league." was the reply. "They play
ball to suit the team they are up against.
Look at the kind of bail they played
against Baltimore and Boston. " We won
one out of three from Boston and three
out of the last four from Baltimore. On
top of that wh go to Louisville and lose
three out of four to the Colonels. If we
could play against the Colonels anything
like the ball we do against the top noteh
ers, we would make a clean sweep. That
is the trouble. We fall down at the most
unexpected times and places."

CINCINNATI COMMENT.
What the Porkopolls Papers Say
About the Senatorial UutHt.
Those Senators know a whole lot about
batting. Everybody on the team except Si
Swalm can "blngle," and even old Si "put
one down," and beat it out in yesterday's
game. He was cheered to the echo.
"I can't remember the time that Pink
Hawley evefc won a game from us," said
Earl Wagner in the grand stand yesterday
while the game was going on. "He has
pitched good ball against us, but when we
were not hitting there would be a 'break'
that would whip his side."
The Washington and Cincinnati teams
went to St. Louis on the same train last
night. President Wagner and Captain
Ewlng will have a chance to talk the Sel
bach matter over again, and the negotia
tions may yet result In Selbach coming here
to .ielp out the Reds. It Is understood that
Wagner not only wants big money for Sel
bach, but a couple of pluyers thrown in "to
boot."
It was positively painful to witness the
futile efforts of the Cincinnati Reds to hit

the ball In the closing game with the Wash
ingtons yeaterday aternoon.
It was not a Nichols, a Rusie or a Oor
bett that made the pioud league leaders
"pop up" little flies, or start very weak
kneed. spindle-shanked grounders on their
trip that almost invariably ended with the
painful "You're out" of the umpire.
There was no "on the side" healing balm
for yesterday's knockdown. It was no one
but tall, lanky, plain old SI Swaim, the
Cadwallader schoolmaster, who stood on
the slab and dealt out the occult to the
local crew of club swingers. Old Si Just
toyed with the national topnotchers like
they were a lot of Reubs from the neigh
boring "deestrict." He put on all the
shoots and curves and slants that he had
In his repertoire, and, after a disgraceful
exhibition by the localites, the ninth inning
found them with four little hits to their
credit, or rather discredit.
Think of four hits, one of them doubtful,
and another a bunt as the aggregate ef
forts of a team at the head of the league
against a pitcher of SI Swaim's caliber.
"Earl said that all of his players, except
McGulre, were for sale," said Captain
Ewing. "From that statement you would
think he wanted to sell. When you dicker
with him you will find that his players are
for sale like the Cincinnati players are. I
suppose President Brush would sell any
player's release that he has on the pay
roll, provided he was offered^ enough
money. If he got an otter of $50,000 for
McPhee's release I suppose he would take
It. The same price would get Corcoran.
That is the way It Is with Wagner. Of
course, no such sum as $50,000 figures In
the contemplated deal, but the figure he
has named for the player we have talked
about is so exorbitant as to be beyond all
reason." From this the opinion is formed
that President Wagner has asked a fortune
for Selbach's release.

Base Ball Notes.
In St. Louis today.
Two victories in St. Louis and the re
cord of the Senators on this trip will be
the best ever made by a Washington club.
One win will make it five victories out of
twelve games, also a good record.
Selbach made two errors in the two
games in Cincinnati. Both were muffs
of easy flies.
Bert Myers got to first every time he
went to bat in Sunday's game, draw'ng
three bases on balls and making two hits.
The Senators' first run on Sunday was
made by Anderson, who was hit by a
pitched ball, stole second and third and
went home on a wild pitch.
The Cincinnati papers are stuck on the
Senatorial outfield and will gladly take'
either Selbach. Anderson or Gettman ofr
of Mr. Wagner's hands, Gettman's speedy
pedaling patching their eye especially.
A rousing reception awaits the Washing
ton club's return to National Park next
Monday morning. The club Is plnying
great ball and should make a sensational
lecord during the sixteen straight games
that begin with next Monday.
The Cleveland club has started a whole
sale transfer of games. Yesterday thry
completed arrangements to play the games
scheduled for Cleveland with the Browns
in St. Louis.
St. Louis was a great base ball center
yesterday. Four National League teams
were In the mound city, the Cincinnati,
Baltimore, Washington and the home
ciubs. and of course there was lots of
base ball talk on tap.
Hanlon has received a flattering offer to
play the Fourth of July games In Phila
delphia which are scheduled for Baltimore,
but has concluded to refuse. Each club
gets half the receipts on holidays and as
the Phillies are playing good ball now, it
Is safe to say that 25,000 persons will wit
ness the two games on that day, as against
about 8,000 In the oyster city. Chicago
Is also after Hanlon to transfer games to
that city.
A special from Boston says that GalTney
will begin work for the parent organiza
tion next Monday. Presidents Brush and
Soden brought pressure to bear on Mr.
Young, it is said, and brought about the
change of mind. Gaffney has had about
six chances to behave himself while act
ing as an umpire, but each time went by
the board. Now It Is said that the once
king has not touched liquor for nearly a
year, and is in good condition.
HOBART AND MS1IET DEFEATED.
Americana Played Well, bat (be En
glish Champions Won.
In the lawn tennis tournament at Wim
bledon, England, yesterday the brothers
Doherty, holders of the doubles, beat Ho
bart and Nlsbet, 6-4, 0-4, 6-2, for the cham
pionship.
It was a much harder contest than the
score indicates. The American expert, Ho
bart, was especially brilliant, at times
sending the balls at such a pace that the
Dohertys could not handle them. But both
Hobart and Nlsbet were Irregular. Many
of their balls went out of court and Into
the net, and the steadiness ana accuracy
of the champions finally won each set.

COURSE TO BE TffiEJ AT MAMA
Dewey Will Demand Capitulation
When Reinforcfem&nts Coma
AUQUSTI'S GLOOMY REPORT
LONDON, June 29.?The Dally News pub
lishes the following dispatch rrom Berlin:
"The following semi-official note has been
published here, apparently with the object
of preparing the world for the landing of
German marines at Manila:
" 'As yet no statement has reached here
about the landing of German marines at
Manila, but It Is a matter of course that
Admiral von Diederichs will interfere as
soon as it may become necessary for the
protection of Germans there. Such a meas
ure would have no political significance
whatever. Neither at Washington nor at
Madrid have negotiations occurred on this
matter.'
??The assurance that a landing of marines
would have no political significance is very
nice. The only question is whether the
United States and other powers will share
this opinion, or whether the other powers
will see in the landing, an act of interfer
ence compelling them to follow suit.
Denry'a Intention*.
LONDON, June 2!).?The Daily Telegram
prints today an article from Manila which
says:
"The report that Germany will not per
mit a bombardment is exciting deep irri
tation in the American fleet. Admiral
Dewey intends to demand a capitulation
the Instant reinforcements arrive. He
told Prince Henry of Prussia that he would
be glad to see the German officers at Man
ila, but It would be well to caution them to
keep out of the American line of fire. It
remains to be seen whether Germany has
really given such promises as are pretended.
"Two attempts have been made on the
life of Gen. AgulnaMo, in order to secure
the reward placed on .his head by Capt.
Gen. Augusti.
"The United States cruiser Boston has
gone to Bolinao to establish there, so it is
reported, a base of operations. Capt. Gen.
Augusti has arranged a conference with
the foreign admirals, presumably on the
subject of protection for the lives of non
combatants.
"The situation Is growing unbearable.
The population is in a state of terror. No
details have leached here as to the fate of
Capt. Gen. Augusti's family. The provin
cial garrisons have been starved into sur
render. The belief, first entertained, that
Germany would help Spain Is growing faint
er, and it Is now feared that she will share
in the partition of the Philippines. There
are now seven German warships in the
bay."
The Hong Kong correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph, telegraphing Tuesday,
says: "I have consulted with the German
authorities, who declfrte 'unanimously and
emphatically that thei reports from Manila
of German interference are Impossible.
Whatever the Spanish, ;ma.y have done, the
German admiral has held out no such hopes
or promise."
Manila Mast Fall Soon.
Madrid advices, da(gd. yesterday, state
that the government has received the fol
lowing dispatch from. Captain General Au
gusti, at Manila on June.^3:
"The situation is sfi|l grave. I continue
to maintain my opposition inside the line
of blockhouses, but tl^e en^.my is increasing
in numbers, as the rebels occupy the prov
inces, which are surrendering. Torrential
rains are inundating' the' intrenchments,
rendering the work ofcdclenso difficult. The
numbers of sick among the troops are in-*
creasing, making the situation very dis
tressing and causing ^ucreased desertions
of the native soldiers.
"It is estimated that the insurgents num
ber 30,000 armed with rifles and 11*0,000
armed with swords, etc.
"Aguinaldo has summoned me to surren
der, but I have treated his proposals with
disdain, for I am resolved to maintain the
sovereignty of Spain and the honor of the
flag to the last extremity.
"I have over 1,000 sick and 200 wounded.
"The citadel has been invaded by the
suburban inhabitants, who have abandoned
their homes owing to the barbarity of the
rebels. These Inhabitants constitute an em
barrassment. aggravating the situation, in
view of the bombardment, which, however.
Is not seriously apprehended for the mo
ment.
"The governor of the Vlsayas and Min
danao Islands cables that he has defeated
the Insurgents In an engagement, during
which Chief Arco, Aguinaldo's representa
tive, was killed. He adds that tranquillity
now prevails throughout these Islands, and
he further asserts that the principal Malay
chiefs of the Mindanao group declare they
desire to fight on the side of the Spaniards
against the invaders."
The rebels who are besieging Manila ex
ceed 25,000 men.
The city Is completely Isolated, and the
arrival of the Spanlgh squadron Is anxious
ly awaited, for the position of Manila & un
tenable.
CAMARA'S StU'ADROX.
It !? Stated That They Ape In Sean
ilalouH Disrepair.
LONDON, June 29.-A Port Said dispatch
to the Dally Chronicle ctatjs:
"Admiral Camara's squadron Is in. a most
slovenly condition. The bottoms of most
of his ships are foul, and the repairing of
the machinery of the torpedo-boat de
stroyer Audaz would take at least a week.
The Buenos Ayres, Isla da Panay, Cova
donga and Colon have been removed to
berths assigned to ships likely to make a
long stay. The captain of the Pelayo has
landed his sick. Coaling, the taking on of
supplies and the employmsnt of gatlve
stokers are prohibited, pending a decision
by the Egyptian government."
The Cairo correspondent of the Dally
1 Mail says: "Lord Cromer has stopped a
French firm from coaling Admiral Ca
mara's squadron, pending Instructions from
London."
A dispatch to the Dally Mall from Port
Said Bays: "A distinguish 3d naval officer,
who has examined Admiral Camara's ships
carefully, laughs at the Idea of Admiral
Camara attempting to reach Manila. The
Spaniards, he says, are wise to keep the
flfcet out of the Americans' way. The bat
tleship Pilayo and the armored cruiser
Emperador Carlos Qulnto are in scandalous
disrepair?indeed, are 'hairdly seaworthy
while it will be lmponlbtfe for the torpedo
boat destroyers to get filr. The Spaniards
cannot keep the sngloes 'trimmed."

Proceedings In DAMice Salt Actlmt
Abert Rn^ Other*.
The trial of the sult of Thomas M. Kelly
against William 8toa4 Abert, Glenn
Brown, David T. Cfskelll John Schneider
and Chas. F. Schneider Was brought to an
unexpected close In ?trcylt Court No. 1,
Judge Cole presiding, at 11 o'clock this
morning. The plaintiff In the ease desired
to amend in an Important particular the
original declaration. It appeared from the
evidence that there i^s ay unused well be
neath the building, and as this might have
had a bearing on the, case. It was deemed
advisable to include the fact in the declara
tion.
This was objected to by counsel for. the
defendants, who Insisted on the continu
ance of the trial. The plaintiff's attorneys
then bad a juror withdrawn, Snd the case
went over to the fall term of court.
The suit Is one for $10,000 damages, and
grows out of-the collapse of the new build
ing at 1200 and 1211 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest during the wind storm of Sep
tember, 1890. The plaintiff, Mr. Kelly, was
proprietor of a restaurant, situated next to
the Abert building, which was totally de
molished by the falling walls of the larger
structure. Kelly claims that the collapse
of the Abert building was due to defective
construction.
. The case had been on trial for several
days, and much expert testimony was be
ing taken, when the interruption occurred,
.The trial will probably not be resumed un
til qpxt October.

ACTS CAUSE SUSPICION
Arthur Holloway, Citizen of Georgia, Given
Six Months in Jail
In the Abnenee of Bond, Tbree
Months Additional?Carried l*l?tol
and llranK Knuckles.
Arthur Holloway, a young man. aged
twenty-one years, who says his home is in
Clem, near Carroiltc n, Carroll county, Ga?
was today sent to jail by Judge Kim jail
for six months for having a pistol and a
pair of brass knuckles concealed on his
person. He was also required to give a
bond for for his future good behavior
or serve three months additional in the
work house.
Holloway was arrested last evening
shortly after St o'clock by Detectives Par
ham, Hartigan and Phillips for alleged
suspicious conduct on Pennsylvania ave
nue. The evidence showed that Holloway
went to a house on fith street northwest,
where furnished looms are rented. and
tried to secure f room for the night. As
he had no baggage and acted in a manner
that the proprietor of the house did not
like, he wao refused admission. He after
ward went to another house in the same
neighborhood, where he had a similar ex
perience.
Holloway then went down Cth street to
Pennsylvania avenue, being followed by
the man who had refused him admission
to his house, and the latter there met the
detectives, whose attention was called to
Holloway. The suspect was seen to go
from one saloon ir.to another. Detective
Hartigan followed him into one finally an 1
noticed that he seemed to be taking very
particular notice of every man in the bar
loom. As so'in cs he left the place De
tective Hartigan stopped Holloway and de
manded that he explain his previous ac
tions.
Almost at the same instant Hartigan no
ticed that Holloway's clothing was bulged
out, and upon examination it was found
that he hail a pistol in his hip pocket, llo
was then taken into custody and after
ward searched. Detective Parham found in
the prisoner's possession a pair of knuckles.
Detective Phillips also found in one of
Holloway's pockets two letters, one of
which was signed "Eva" and was written
from Clem. The second was signed L.
Harris and dated at the same place.
The MmanKM.
In the first named letter "Eva" said she
was sorry to hear about Holloway's
shooting scrape, but glad it was no worse
than it was. The writer also warned Hol
loway to keep out of gambling- places, as
If he frequented them he would be sure to
get into trouble.
In the second letter, which Is signed "L..
E. Harris" and evidently written by a
woman, the writer speaks of how lonesome
she is because of Holloway's long-contin
ued absence, and informs him that she has
attended to some little matters, as he had
asked her to do, and hopes to see him soon
at her Georgia home.
In reply to questions from Judge Kimball
Holloway said there was absolutely no
foundation for the reference in "Eva's"
letter to a shooting scrape except that In
a letter to Miss Harris he. In a spirit of
"kidding." wrote that he had been in trou
ble of that kind.
Merely >? Exrnae,
To a Star reporter Holloway said he
wrote to his friend that he had shot a man
In Columbia, S. C., and had visited gam
bling places, but that he did so to offer a
reason why he had been so long in reaching
Washington, his destination.
As for shooting any one he had not done
so, nor did he gamble. Upon leaving home,
shortly before Christmas, he said, he went
to Arkansas to visit some of his "kin
folks," and thence went to Florida, where
he remained awhile. But a day or two
since he reached Washington. He explain
ed that when going from one place to an
other, as he did last evening on the avenue,
he was trying to find the place where he
stopped the night before, ?.nd as for the
weapons, .they came into his "possession le
gitimately and lie was 110; aware that he
was violating any law by carrying them.
Holloway said his father is a well-known
Mason at Clejn.
After the prisoner was sentenced Attor
ney Horace Ford becamc interested in the
case, and will make a thorougn Investiga
tion of the story of the prsjner so far as
concerns his history previous to coming to
Washington.
Beading Tea in Warehouses.
The recently enacted war tariff places a
duty of ten cents per pound on teas. In
many cities there' are now stored large
quantities of free teas Imported under the
former tariff. In a number of instances
importers and warehousemen have desired
to bond warehouses for the storage of im
ported teas without being required to re
move the free article now stored in such
premises. The Secretary of the Treasury
has* consented to the bonding of ware
houses, provided the free teas now stored
therein are kept entirely separate from
all other goods and that they be removed
within six months, when the warehouses
are to be rebonded.
Spain Falls to Oct the O'Higglss.
It has been known to our government for
some time past that the Spanish govern
ment was crying to obtain possession of the
splendid modern armored cruiser O'Higgins
of the Chilean navy. Our agents, however,
have watched these negotiations carefully
and our government has been finally satis
fied that they have failed.
