PREACHER SEES NO HARM
IN PICTURES IN WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON. D. C„ July 6.—Nn
harm la aeen In moving pictures of a
prise fight by the Rev Father Mackin.
«f gt. paul'a Cathedral of thla city, who
aaid to-day:
"I can aee no particular harm in the
pictures, although It Is not an elevat
Jng or wholesome sight to see two
human animals pounding each other.
However, there Is a craving for contest
and It la natural one. Foot ball Is de
cidedly more brutal than prise lighting
hut I recognise that one evil will not
excuse another. But th* fight pictures
themselves can do no harm."'
The Rev. Lloyd C. Douglas, of Luther
Place Memorial Ctourch sold:
* Already the newo has become arro
gant and Impudent over Johnson's vic
tory, and with the pictures before the
public the attitude of the blocks might
haeons* intolerable This prospect ol
Noe Hot* Is sufficient reason to sup
press the pictures in Washington and
other places where there Is a larger col
ored population.”
Tha Rev. John Reed shannon, of the
Metropolitan Methodist church said
“1 think the whole prise fight was
•eh an exhibition of unspeakable bru
tality that It would be a disgrace to
any city In which such pictures are
shown to tha public.''

WICKHAM TALKS
TO GOOD PEOPLE
Candidate for Cohgress Speaks His
Views Right Out in Plain
JUDGE WICKHAM FOR CONGRESS
Concise and at Same Time Pretty Full
Platferm—Democracy the
Groundwork.
July 2, 1810.
To the Democratic Voters of the Third
Congressional District:
1 am a candidate for Congress from
the Third Congressional District, sub
ject to the Democratic primary to be
held August 8, 1810, and respectfully
ask for your tote and influence in my
behalf.
1 am a Democrat, and bound by the
Democratic platform. Its chief plank,
na it seems to me, in the present con
dition of public affalra. and the most
important for the correction of pres
i ent public evil*, is the reduction of the
tariff. The enormously high cost of j
living, the extravagance of public }
expenditures and the menacing power
of the great corporation* In the en
actment of nstlonal legislation, large- .
ly the evil consequences of a high
larlff, have reached a point at which !
the opportunity of the average man ,
to make an independent living and
the very life of ssir representative
form of government are alike threat
ened with destruction. The overbur- 1
dened people felt this, and the Repub
lican leaders in the last presidential
election promised relief Hut "Thu
Interests” were too strong, the prom
ise was broken, the worst tariff law
the country has ever known Was pass
ed and the Republican party proved
] once more that it cannot tie trusted
to legislate for the welfare of the av- I
• rage man.
it is not to be thought, however, '
that the people will continue to en
dur this wrong To think so would 1
j be t-> despair of the republic. Recent
; congressional elections in New York
and Massachusetts, where Democrats
were elected In rock-ribbed Republi
can districts, and the grave doubts of
the re-election of Congressman Daizell ;
in the Pittsburg District, show that
j the people are awake to the over
! whelming importance of the tariff is
sue. There is much ground for hope}
that the next Congress will he Denio
l erattc. It is vitally Important there-:
i fore that in Democratic districts no j
man should be returned whose record ,
| on this issue is doubtful.
In the nest Congress the danger to
(tariff reform will come, not from the
| open, but from the concealed protec
| tionlst. from him who is a Democrat
(for other districts and a Republican
I for his own.
If 1 am honored with a seat in Con
gress from this district l shall hold
i myself hound by every consideration !
j of self-interest and of moral obllga- j
tion to use my best efforts to perform )
i these duties, which I classify, as I :
: conceive. In the order of their relative .
: importance First, to secure the pas- !
sage of stlch law s as shall promote
i the happiness and welfare of the hun- i
j dred millions of people living in this
; country and its dependencies, second,
j to secure such appropriations for this
' district as its needs require, consistent
( with a wise and economical expendt- j
tore of the people's money; and. third,
to assist, with energy and without fa
vorittsm, every constituent who has
business before the departments and
in the administrative branches of the
government at Washington. I realize
in a great commercial and manufac
turing community such as ours much
of this quasi-public work must and
ought to be done by the people's rep- !
resentntlve in Congress. And. finally,
in all matters of political duty 1 shall |
feel myself bound by the Democratic
platform.
i When the time shall come that my
| conscientious convictions will not suf
, fer mo to stand on that platform I
j shall resign and return my commission
| to the party that gave it.
Very respectfully.

LONDON. July «.—While deploring
the American race riots that followed
the Jeffries-Johnson fight. London
neuspapt r» to-day unexpectedly offer
lmI excuses for the disorders and gen
erally admitted that Europeans have
little idea of the race situation In the
1'nlted States. The usually anti- '
American Keening Globe, referring to
the attempt to lynch a negro In New
York city, declares
'Really our gym parity runs more to
the men with the rope than to the
blatant blacks It ia against human
nature to expect tne whites to accept
the negroes' insolent assertion that
Johnson’s victory established the su
periority of the blacks without Instant
protest.
"The Keno contest was one of the
most injudn lous ever permitted arm
its racial effects will continue lor
years Americans ate the trustees of
the predominance of the whites over
the blacks and we believe they will be
true to the trust."
The London papers generally de
plore prize tights between whites and
blacks as tending to raise the racial
issue, which Is now worrying England ,
In.South Africa.
Colonel Again.
The Evening Star seizes the occasion j
to make fun of Colonel Roosevelt ana
his Guild Hall speech. Roosevelts'
contention that the first duty of a
civilised nation must preserve order
then says that "his complacency must
Indeed be shaken."
Wo await to see whether he will
apply his criticisms of England In her
conduct of affairs in Egypt to his own
country" the Star adds "It is a pity
that Americans are not cultivated in
the art of taking defeut in sports in
a dignified way and of minding their
own business politically."
The Star also finds comfort In the
statement of General Secretary Grey I
that Sir Eldon Oorst, whose adminis- i
tration of affairs In Egypt was in
ferentially condemned by Roosevelt, is
not to be removed as Rritish agent j
ami consul-general in Egypt. "Roose- j
volt allowed himself to he the cat's
paw." the Star says, "of a cabal
against Oorst and Sir Edward Grey's j
admission of foreknowledge- of tne
speech did much to kill the liberal's
confidence In him. We are glad Sir
Edward has settled the removal
rumor."
The Standard Is shoocked at the
presence of women at the fight and
sacs that "when next we are shocked .
bj the spectacle of Spanish women at
a bull fight, let us remember that In
an Anglo-Saxon community women
looked on while two nearly naked
men fought each other until one was
pounded Into Insensibility.”

Meagre details of a general rough
louse Monday night between Virginia
oldlers and regulars hail Just reach
d camp. It Is said that while at Ltt
le Hound Top, where a picnic and
lance was In progress, the soldiers,
nany of whom had been drinking,
tarted a free-for-all fight. It is not
lelleved to have been serious. Secrecy
egardlng the affair Is maintained by
he men.
Hast night General Vaughan re
vived the officers of the Virginia Bri
ade. Following the reception at Vir
lnia headquarters, the officers, all
f whom were mounted, rode to dl
Islon headquarters and were here en
ertalned by Geheral W'otherspoon and

All tn Good Health.
The health of the camp continues
xcellent. There are only sixteen men
nder <are of the hospital corps,
■■hlch ts doing exceptionally efficient
ervire. Most of those men are suf
ertng from Injuries of a minor na
tire. There are few complaints from
be men about tore feet.
The engineering corps here is kept
(instantly busy. This arm of the
irvlce Is equipped with an automo
lle, and Is constantly making the
muds of the camp. Wrherever a
elect In construction work la found
Is remedied immediately.
Special attention Is paid to sanitary
jndltlona and a constant watch is'
irried on to prevent any possibility
r contagion.
General Worthspoon has been great
ty displeas'd with the actions of citi
zens of Gettysburg towards the troops
I He finds that many men. especially !
j those who have been drinking, are
being “held up" for their last penny,
j Though there Is comparatively little
drunkenness among the five thousand
i soldiers, nevertheless steps have been
i taken to have proprietors of bar- ;
rooms stop selling Intoxicants to the
khakl-clad men who are unsteady on
their legs. The saloon keepers, how
ever, do not relish the Idea and are
apparently anxious to relieve the
troopers of their last auarter.
Most of the militiamen arc well- [
supplied with the coin of the reaim ,
and will undoubtedly leave htnasou
