TEMPLE CUP BALL GAMES.

to the Committees Ruling.


BALTIMORE. Md, October 4.-Messrs
Ward and Hanlon have practically agreed
to play the Temple series In accordance
with the committees ruling of is and 30
Per cent basis.
The weather Is very threatening and fears
are entertained that rain will interfere with
todays game. Up to noon 1900 tickets had
been disposed of and a great crowd is eX-
pected.
The Baltimore grounds for the great Tenn
pie cup series were opened at room today
and all the gates were crowded steadily to
their full capacity. The Orioles appeared
on the grounds shortly after o'clock, and
the Giants came in a half hour later and
were greeted with mingled Kisses and cheers
and with the cry to the Orioles ito get at

At that time about six thousand people
were on the grounds. Hurst and Emslie
will umpire the game.
A thorough agreement has not yet been
patched up among the players. The indica-
tons are that this will be the only game.
McGraw is the only player holding out, the
others having given in. The team will not
play the series unless all of the members
agree.
The New York team has planted and I'm
furled near their bench a white flag, with
the inscription in red letters: ITO Vic

The day is dark and cloudy and one that
suits Meekin's swift curves. The betting
that is being done on the side is gener-
ally in favor of the New Yorks.

David and Frances NJ. Moore, Sarah NJ
Davidson, Mary A johnson and Josephine
NJ. Bridget today filed bill in equity
against the District of Columbia, Annie f.
Barbour, the District Commissioners and
the Prospect Hill cemetery, for an in;unc-
ton to restrain the District from prosecut-
ing proceedings before a marshaIs jury for
the condemnation of an undivided half of a
certain tract of land lying between T street
north and Prospect Hill cemetery for the
purI csc OF extending North Capitol street
to the Soldiers Home
The cOmplainants state that they are the
owners as tenants in common in fee of one
half of the tract, and that Annie Z. Bar
bour is the owner of the other moiety They
explain that the District Commissioners

1873. instituted proceedings in the District

further, that the proposed proceedings be-

SUGAR BOUNTY MANDAMUs.
Arguments I'm the Case Heard By
Judge McCOmas.

Judge McComas was occupied today in
hearing the case of the Miles Planting and
Manufacturing Company of Louisiana
against the Secretary of the Treasury and
the commissioner of internal revenue. The
case as heretofore explained In The Star,
is an application by the company, manu-
facturers and producers of sugar. for writ
of mandamus, to compel the respondents to
cause an inspection of the companys work,
as required in the Mckinley tariff act,
which granted bounties to manufacturers
and producers OK sugar. Gen. Jos. L. Brent
of Baltimore, Nd, and Mr. Geo +. Ham
ilton of this city appeared on behalf OF the
company. while the respondents were repre-
scented by Assistant Attorney General Ed
ward B. Whitney.
on behalf Of the company IL was argued
that the title and right to the bounty II
based on the inspection 10y the orhcers OF
the internal revenue bureau. The inspec
ton had a two-fold object-to prevent frau1
on the part of producers OF sugar, and to
grant them a patent for the bounty. The
bounty was payable for nve years, counsel
for the company contended. from July i,
1891, made SO by a SPECIFIC law for certain
period. The company had been duly licensed
and had given a bond for $251,0oo and was
therefore entitled during the period referred
TO to a protection of its interests and rights
Counsel did not claim that the law granting
the bounty could not be repealed but they
asserted that il had not been repealed.
Independent of the payment OF the bounty.
contended the co,npanys counsel. the com
pany had the right to show that IL had
earned il. That could only be done through
an inspection of its work. and when the
government licensed the company IL agreed
TO give IL a certificate of the commissioner
of internal revenue that the company was
entitled to the bounty. The company did
not ask the court TO compel the Secretary
of the Treasury to pay 1t the bounty. but
av.l IN ,r,a1 fv,Srs arffp Tho
pany was licensed when the Mckinley act
was In force. and that act made a perma-
nent and continuing appropriation to pay
the bounties Hence. asserted counsel II
that law created no valid. just claim on the
government. there never was or could be
such a claim against it.
Gen. Brent was the only one to argue the
case today. and the case went over until
tomorrow.

DEMOCRATS IN OHIO.
Representative Donovan Thinks They
Will Hold Six Districts.

Representative Donovan of Ohio who
visited democratic headquarters today, said
to a Star reporter that, though the republic
cans were making hard fight to cut the
democratic representation from Ohio down
to four, the democrats were almost sure to
hold six districts. In Sorg's and Outhwaite's
districts, he said, the republicans We're max
ing very stiff fight and claiming that they
would win, but, in his opinion, the demo-
Gratis would carry both districts. The posi-
ton taken by the democratic convention in
favor of free silver would, he said, enable
the party to hold many votes which they
would otherwise have lost, and thus in a
negative way, it will strengthen the party.
He expressed the opinion that the demo-
Gratis would have majority in the next
House, and that the republicans would lose
some districts in the west The fact of
Hills taking the nomination for governor
of New York, he said, was encouraging to a
great many democrats outside of New York,
and would help in the congressional cam
paign.

GRADE OF EIGHTEENTH STREET.
Objections TO Changing the Level
From Owners of Property.

In the current appropriation bill there il
an item apr opria;ing Si:vV 10: improv-
ing lsta street extended from Florida ave-
nue. to Columbia road, for widening the
roadway TO Fifty feet and paving the same
with sheet asphalt and changing the grade
where 1t is deemed necessary by the Com
missicners. 1t is also provided that one
half OF this amount shall be charged
against abutting property. In the general
consideration, provision was made for
changing the grade Of this street. A change
of grade would materially affect several
ahutting subdivisions by almost destroying
their present Improvement. Before doing
any work. however. the Commissioners
gave notice Of a hearing and this after
noon a number Of prominent citizens ap-
peared at the District building 20 enter q
protest against the change Of grade.
All Of them were ia favor of widening the
street, however. Among those present

and urged that IL would be manifestly un-
just to destroy the improvements along the
line of 18th street. which has cost thousands
of dollars, and which, IL subjected to n

Capt. Powell while he believed that such
change of grade as proposed is proper,
VIII not insist upon il. and il is believed
that the Commissioners will improve 18th
street without changing the grade.

gether. The Washington public should not
lay the blame for the delay at the door of
the superintendent in charge of the struct-
ure, for 1t is his function merely to see
that the specifications of the contracts are
carried out strictly. In case of delay it is
his duty to report the fact to the depart
ment. and to the credit of Mr.. Kinsey it
must be said that he has taken every pos
sible opportunity to advise the architect of
the necessity for haste, and to suggest
means for increasing the rate Of progress
on the building.
DilatOry Methods in the Architects
ONCE.
The dilatory methods pursued in the ar
chitect's office are to be illustrated by sin
gle fact. 1t is not certain today just what
kind of roof will be put over the building,
although past experience has amply demon
strated that in order to get prompt execu-
ton Of contracts they must be awarded
ahead Of the actual necessities of the struc-
ture 1t is no exaggeration to state that In
any commercial enterprise of a similar char
acter bids for the next iron contract and for
the roof would even now have been called
for and pei haps the contract would have
been awarded. This Is, perhaps, the most
potent cause of delay on government work.
In the historic language Of somebody or
other. the hindsight Of the architects office
Is far superior to its foresight.
Contractors cannot fail to take the cue
thus given by the head Of all things archi-
tcctural, and to adopt a pace that seems
to be suited to the government style Of
work. 1t Is a well-known fact that emily
small percentage of the penalties nomi-
nally imposed upon contractors for nom
performance of obligations are exGcted by
the government There is pretense Of de-
Quoting the amounts of these penalties from
the occasional payments made on the work
but 1t Is seldom that the contractor cannot
succeed. by bringing political influence to
bear upon the department, in having tine
Penalties RENTED a few weeks or a few
months after the gossip cccasioned by his
failure to live up to mis- obligations has died
away 1t is confidently stated by one who
is familiar with the affairs of the office
that not more than one out of five failing
contractors ultimately pay their penalty.
Political influence is so potent that il is
known to outpull lowest bids, contracts ana
every other form of fair dealing.

A Warm Contest.

Charles S. Behdheim, who represents an
Alexandria district in the lower house Of
the Virginia legislature. thinks the contest
in the eighth district. which comprises
ten counties. will be an interesting one this
year. This is Congressman Meredith's dis
trict, and while Mr.. Bendheim thinks Mere
dith will be elected he thinks 1t will be the
result of the warmest contest ever ex-
perienced in the district. This district has
a large democratic majority. something
like 1900, but this year there are three
candidates in the field. SO Mr. Bendheim
told a Star reporter this afternoon, and
he said in a few days campaign work will
begin in earnest. Just what the populists
will do cannot be told at this time, but
they will have to draw the bulk of their
vote from the democrats in order to affect
the result in any way.

THE news of the attacks being made
by the japanese are OF comparatively in
Significant Importance except to those par
ticular missionaries who happen to be in
those parts Of China likely to be invaded.
Even in the midst of the war mission
aries would probably be deemed neutral
and would be amply protected by the flags
or their own countries. but in the event of
dissolution of the empire 1t is hard to pre-
dict what might happen to them. but it
would certainly be of serious consequence"
Rev. MIR. White Is a missionary of the
Southern Presbyterian church and has just
arrived from Shanghai. He came back on
account of his health, and his travelling
companion, Rev. X. o. Hayden, was an
other missionary of the same church.
1t Is well understood" continued Mr..
White, that the present emperor Is a for
eigner, heartily disliked by a great portion
Of his subjects. Under the leadership of

stance. a rebellion would almost certainly
prove successful As soon as the restrain

'PULLS" WITH THE BOARD.
FavOritism Displayed by New YOrk's
Police COmmissiOners.


Police Commissioners.
NEW YORK, October 4.-Favoritism in
the board of police was the subject of a
brief statement by Mr.. Moss, the Park
hurst Society's agent, before the LeXow
committee today. Two policemen had been
convicted of similar offenses. drunkenness
and deserving their beats. One was fined
a few days pay and the other was dismissed
from the force. The superstition is that the
first officer had pull" which the other
had not.
Then Max Muscowvitch told of the arrest
of one OF his friends. and asserted that be-
fore the prisoner was permitted to send
word to another friend he was compelled
to pay the doorman of the police station s.
VIM. L. Meredith, a banker of No. IL Wall
street, who was recently assaulted on 9TH
avenue told the committee about that saf-
fair. He had, he said, been set upon by an
vance of a political clubs procession, and
who swept up 9Th avenue, assaulting and
robbing citizens promiscuousy.
MIR. Golf said that there was no police line
in front of the procession, as the law pro-
vided
Mr.. Meredith said the police had made no
arrests.
The clubbing by Policeman Dunn yester-
day of Thomas Luccas was also taken up
by the committee. Lucas employer testi-
fled to his good character and Luccas told
his story.
Policeman Dunn swore that Luccas at
tackled him before he used his club. The
policeman found 1T difficult to explain why
he used so much force.
Then a colored woman told a sensational
story, which implicated Captain Schmitt-
berger and some of his men. She was
Sarah Brown of West 3ith street who
has a suit for damages against Isaac Co
hen, a lawyer. Another woman had ad-
vised her to drop the suit against Cohen,
he was a friend of Captain Schmitt-
berger. The captain, she said, would ar
rest her. Later two policemen called
and advised her to drop the suit.
One of the policemen tried to
criminally assault her daughter. Then
Mrs. Brown said she was arrested for keep
ing disorderly house. and Policeman Cal
laghan told her Captain Schmittberger
would settle for 500.
At this point Elbridge T. Gerry entered
the court in n great state of excitement.
He was aristlng with indignation at the
statement made yesterday by Mr.. Cor
that the Gerry Society fer the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children was vested with
too much power. which was often abused.
Commodore Gerry wanted to read long
typewriter statement
The time for that, Mr.. Goff thought, was
not OppOrtune. and Mr.. Gerry withdrew.
Sarah Brown then, continuing her testi-
moEy. told how Gerry agent once threat
ened to put her child away unless she gave
him $50.
