Pertinent Comment
BY GUS MALBERT
Tho fellow who Eat In the grand?
stand viewing the game yesterday
with a pair of field glasses remarKei
that Revelle's smile was far more ae
ceptlve than his curves, which is hard
to believe.
It would have been an trr.pofslblllt:.
for the Colts to have played better
defensive baseball than was put ur
yesterday. The only miscue of tnt
game was made by Cowan, and while
not excusable, was atoned for In sucn
splendid style by his consistent work
that it shoulri be forgotten.
To the credit of George Cowan, be
It said, that he Is absolutely the main?
stay of the Colts. Hl3 work in prac?
tically every game this Eeason?he has
missed but two?has been of a calibre
to stamp him for higher company. It
matten not what George does to th?
umpire, he Is Just the scrappiest Kino
of a hill player, and he uses his head
He may also lose his temper wlten he
la getting the worst of It. but Deing
a human being as wen as a ball player,
he can hardly be blamed for that.
Willie Baker, sticking to his post
like the Trojan that he Is, suiters
every time he move to field a batteo
ball. His thigh was hurt In a col?
lision at third some days ago, and la
not well yet. It Is pure nerve wnicn
keeps him going.
Hats off to Martin. He has It on
any short fielder In the league. for
? he benefit of the ball players it might
he well to state that a man working
for ths St. Louis Browns as scout
was seated in the grandstand yester?
day looking over the work, and at
least two names were Jotted down in
his note book. The scout desires thai
his name be kept under cover.
One of the hits of the visitors was
of the lucky variety. Woolums was
the gent, and it happened along about
the. sixth frame. He hit what lookeo
like Just the nicest kind of a roller
right at Egan. but when the ball got
where Egan was it bounded over nis
head, and Woolums was safe.
Cowan, in the third, came near pull?
ing off about the most sensational
stunt seen at the lot. Woolums hit a
high foul, and Baker was unable to
co after It. Cowan started, and. alter
a great run. got the ball In his mitt,
but It rolled out. The try, however,
deserves mention.
Not all of the stellar work was done
by the Colts. Krehs made a circus
ratch of Wallace's fly In the first. The
ball was batter! to right centre, ana

ranks for a moment. Norfolk seems to

ProvHsnCf, R. I., Juno !i-Two of the
flourishing; cities on .Varragansett Ely were
visited to-day by President Taft. The prssl- |
dentlal yacht Mayflower brought him flrs?
to Fall River as one of the closing features'
of that clty'a cotton Industry contennlal.
and later the yacht steamed over to Provi?
dence, where the President toured the city
?poV.e. cf his favorite rub'.lc tuple. Canadlar
reciprocity, at th? Conservative Club ban
qulel. The President s'.lled to-night foi
New York on the Mayflower.
It was mldafternoon wh?n the President
came ashora at Fall River Governor F059
of Massachusetts, was at'the wharf to'greet
him. Attorney-General Wlckersham nnd
Cnlted States Fenatori Crane, of Massachu?
setts; Brandagee, of Connecticut, and Llp
pltt. ci Bhod e Island, accompanied the
President.
A long motor trip through the city took
him past nearly all of the IN cotton mills
In Fall River. In South Park he made
brief speech on Canadian reciprocity. Two J
hours after he had landed President Taft
was asaln on board the Mayflower, and soon
after he was welcomed by Governor Pothlei
to Rhode Island.
Is Not Worrying.
The President la not worrying- particular!}
about things In Washington, and In spite I
of predictions freely made In the last few j
days. Is still convinced that the reciprocity
hill yrlll pass with a good majority. There I
Is not much doubt in the minds of his ,
friends as. to what Mr. Taft would do If |
Congress Insisted upon passing the "farm?
ers' free list bill" and the wool bill. He '
has asserted many times that revision !
of the tariff should be based upon scientlflr. 1
data obtained by tho tariff board. That I
data will not bo available until December. |
and the President's attitude has not chang?
ed. He still 1? opposed to what he believes
U ?unscientific tariff tinkering."
At the banquet In Provldenc& to-night the
President said In part:
"My mind Is full of reciprocity. It seems j
possible to me to appeal for reciprocity to
both parties?free traders ar.d larlfl-for- j
revenue men. We must recognize that tht |
time of the Chinese wall Is gone, and the
time Is gone when an Industry must ask for j
more more protection than It absolutely
needs.
"There lc nothing In the agdeement that
any protected American Industry netfd fear.
I believe that the country generally Is In
favor of the Canadian agreement.
"I believe that there are enough Demo?
crats In favor of this step In the right di?
rection and enough Republicans who believe
that the protective tariff to be maintained
must be dealt with moderately to Insur*
thai the policy will carry. I believe tlyit '
a year after the agreement is odopted not |
? voice will be raised to have It changed."
Vote of Lack of Confidence by
Chamber of Deputies
Causes Surprise.
Paris. June 22? After a tenure of office
a llttl* over ihres months and a half the J
cabinet of Premler Monis was defeated on a
vot* ot confidence in the Chamber of Depu?
ties to-day. ond shortly afterwards the min-I
Isters tendered iheir resignations. These
cannot become officially effective until the ]
return of President Fallleres from Rouen,
which will bo Sunday, unless to-day's events |
ciuse him to change his plans.
The vote of lack of confidence was 213 to
S5l. and caused itiui'mmt. .General Goiran,
the Minister of War; M. Dideasse, Minister
of Marine, and M Cruppl. Minister of For?
eign Aflslrs. accepted the vote with folded
arms, and than hastened to the bedside of
Premler Monis, who was Injured recently In !
in a-sroplana accident, and told him what
had happened
The vote was due to a statement made by
General Goiran in the Senate last Tuesday
that the present organization of the army
does not provide for a commander-in-chlel
tn time of war. tha direction of operations
then being In the hands of a council of war,
made up of tha Minister of War and gen?
erals of the army. Tho statement followed
1 request for Information made by Count
da Trevenue as to how the commander-ln
chief In time of peace prepared for war. To
this General Gclran replied that thare was
no commander, adding, to command the
French force is a demand beyond tho power
of a single man. Napoleon did It. but ho
left France smaller nnd focbler than when
ha received It. Never will I agree
French arms being directed by one man.
The statement had no result In the Senate,
but to-day Deputy Andre Hesse opened an
attack In the chamber, charging that con?
fusion existed In the control of the nrmy.
and pointing out that the late Minister 01
War, Berteaux. recently declared thai
commander.ln-chlef did e*lst.
During the debate General Goiran said that
!n the Senate he had merely expressed his
personal opinion: that tha organization of
?the army was safe, and had not been
changed for a long time.

nant, This action Is doomed necessary
to renew interest, which has shown a
marked decrease for some time past
Attorney-General Says They
Should Be Disposed Of?Gov?
ernor May Call Military.
Public Interest demands tho settle?
ment and conclusion of tho many suits
pending- In the Circuit Court of ihe city
of Richmond to which the Common?
wealth of Virginia Is a party. Such Is
tho recommendation of Attorney-Gen?
eral Samuel W. Williams In his annual
report. Just Issued. Some of these
cases are of very ancient origin. For
Instance, the law suit of the Common?
wealth agaln3t Joseph Major was In?
stituted in April, 1SS4, while the equity
case of the Commonwealth against
Samuel M. Pago Is even older, having
been begun In March, 1872.
Attorney-General WlUiams comments
as follows: "In my Judgment, the In?
terest of the State will be best sub?
served by diligent prosecution of these
cases to a determination. 1 shall pur?
sue this course and dismiss such of the
cases as promise no likelihood of liltl-'
mata recovery in favor of the State,
and where reasonable compromises are
offered, I shall adjust, these cases upon
equitable terms, upon tho approval of
the Auditor and the Judge of the C'r
cult Court of the city of Richmond.
The continuance of these cases upon
the docket Imposes annually consid?
erable cost upon the Commonwealth,
and in my judgment they should be
promptly prosecuted and disposed of."
Gave .Many Opinions.
The annual report gives the text of
a number of opinions, rendered by the
Attorney-General on legal questions
submitted to him. Many others were
given in writing and verbally which
are not printed. A great many mat?
ters are put up to this officer by pri?
vate citizens, and although he is nei-1
ther required nor authorized to give
opinions save to officers, he makes It
a point, to reply, and often tenders his
unofficial opinions. 'This has Imposed
upon this office," ite say?, "and Its force j
a very heavy burden, but I see no |
other way of properly meeting the sit?
uation than the course pursued."
Judge Williams makes recognition I
ot tho services rendered the office by ]
the late Assistant Attorney-General W.
E. Bibb, "whose ability and fidelity In
the discharge of his duties are worthy
of the most favora.ble commendation."
He also especially commends the effi?
ciency of his clerk, T. Gray Haddon,
arid expresses gratification at tho re?
taining of the services of former At?
torney-General W. A. Anderson by the
State Debt Commission to prosecute
the debt litigation as assistant coun?
sel.
One of the most Interesting of the!
printed opinions was In reply to the
Governor's requast last autumn as to
his competency to call out the military]
to suppress the oyster troubles on th?
James River. The opinion generally
defines the powers of the Executive In
such matters, and concludes with th*.
assertion that a Governor may un?
questionably call out the military
power of the Commonwealth whenever
In hi? opinion It Is necessary to do so
to enable him to enforce the due execu?
tion of the law. It Is unnecessary that
a demand be first made for help by a
sheriff or by the Commission of Fish?
eries. The Governor may act of his j
own volition.

stroke than tho Virginia oarsmen, hit?
ting It at about a 40 gait.
The Virginia crew is also In good
condition and Is trained to the minute

posed of experienced oarsmen and will
