Their Intentions.

1t is now understood that the
Provisional Government intends
to play smart game, aud if pos
sible repeat the 1887 racket. A
constitutional convention will be
called, but under somewhat diff
ferent conditions as heretofore
supposed. In fact the principle
of 1887 will be adopted; that is
a vote will be given to every man
except Asiatics-now in the
country, if he will subscribe to
an oath which pledges him to OPP
pose any monarchical from of
government, and at the same time
insures his eternal support of the
provisional government or Its suc-
cessors. It is easy to understand
the motives which have lead our
present rulers to adopt such
policy. The p, G. is virtually in
the last ditch. The members of
1t realize the fact and they are
willing TO sacrifice their own am
bitious designs if they thereby
can block and defeat the object
of the people--to wit, the restora-
ton of the monarchy.
They are aware that republic
established by bayonets and
against the viii of the people will
never be recognized by the Cleye-
land administration aud they are
also perfectly well aware that the
displeasure of the United States
Government viii mean the abro-
cation Of the reciprocity result
ing IN total ruin and financial
disaster for tue property-holders
here.
BY establishing republic
through a popular vote. they
believe that they en- command
the recognition of all powers and
the good viii of the United States
especially They do not believe
that anybody will look into the
ways and means Through which
the vote was obtained, but that a |
claim of a popular ratification
viii suffice. Chief Justice Judd |
was asked by Mr. Blount il the
constitution of 1887 ever was
submitted to the people. Mr..
Judd very ingeniously said that
he considered il was. And as
his reasons for this belief he advan-
ed the idea that everybody who
voted under the new constitution
look an oath to support it.-and
thereby virtually ratified it. Mr..
Blount whose shrewdness and
sarcasm are equally develop

Something Rotten.

During former regimes the Id
Ue1tiser and the Reform party
were profuse in condemning and
showing up the police and Gus
tom authorities and in a most
reckless manner accusing them
of corruption. Why is the morn
ing organette so silent now? Why
is it that the lynx eyed editor of
that paper no longer quotes the
price of opium, the amount of it
in town, the sales of it, the draw
ings of Che ia and pakapio, and
the misdeeds and criminal neg
lects of the officials supposed to
prevent crimes and misdemean
ors in the community The reform
nartx- nnr-in -nowar- aud .a..
a consequence the missionaries
will claim that all corruption has
ceased and that the government
is absolutely immaculate. But
we ask how is it that opium to-
day is more plentiful and much
cheaper than has ever yet been
the case? How is it that the
new custom house officials have not
yet made one single seizure al
though the price of the stuff and
the few raids made by the police
prove that the contra band article
passes through the gates and
under the very noses of the
Collector General and his
employees While the guards
display great activity in
opening the handbags and
trunks of passengers by the stea
mers, aud while they with owl
Ike wisdom anpack and scruti-
nize every apple, peach or pear
imported-and then eat most of
them, they never happen to
come across the packages con-
tanning opium. We do not know
if this is due to corruption or to
the inability and ignorance of the
present guards, but the fact re-
mains that the town is simply
flooded with the drug and that,
since the P. G.. got into
power. there has been imported
enough opium to supply the
Chinese here for more than three
years to come at a very moderate
price. The police force is No
be tier that the custom officials.
An occasional raid is of course

opium seized or a few japanese
hauled MP for gambling. bat the
big g mes are running with more
impunity than ever. the opium
joints are in full blast, and every
conce vable kind of vagabonds,
and Migrants are infesting
the town. Marshal Hitchcock
who is about the poorest
official which we ever have had
devotes his time in listening to the
dilapidated spies who stuff his
ears with the most impossible
yarns and make the poor
gullible man see conspiracies
and smell treason in every corner
and in every house. If the gov

WASHINGTON, Mays5.-The day in the
House was devoted to the consideration
of business relating to the District OF
Columbia, Of local interest only.
A disturbance was created in the
House by the sudden interruption OF
the even tenor of the proceedings by
burly negro in the centre gallery arising
In his place and shouting: "Mr.
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives." Instantly the house was in
confusion and all eyes were turned
upon the new orator in the gallery.
The Speaker, who was the first to re-
gain his composure, directed the door
keeper TO remove the offender.
The man was OF powerful physique,
however, and the doorkeeper was unable
to GUST him for some time, the negro en-.
deavoring to deliver his alleged divinely
inspired message to the effect that the
Lord has commanded him to come to the
Speaker of the House and order him to
pass the Coxey bills. He was finally
elected.
The crank's name is Matthew A.
Cherry. He is blacksmith residing in
this city. He insists that he Is not in
anced. When questioned by the Capitol
police he said that unless the "Coxey
good roads" bill was passed there would
BIO general destruction OF Government
property in Washington. Congress
would be given until the Gath instant to
pass the bill. If Is did not become
law by that time the public buildings
would be destroyed by bombs.
He was arrested by the Capitol police
and taken to the guard room in the
basement OF the Cspitol. He was per-
fectly tractable and offered no violence.
He was retained in the guard room about
thirty minutes, wnen he WAS taken to
the Sixth precinct station.
Before en,ering the gallery Cherry
endeavorsd TO see Speaker Crisp. When
the crank demsnded TO see ,he Speaker
the doorkeeper asked his business.
Tho crank replied that he desired an
audience with Speaker Crisp, but re-
fused to state for what reason. Upon
the doorkeeper again sternly refusing
to comply with his request, the crank
faced about and went up in the gallery.
The town is full of cranks," said
Col Snow, the sergeant-at arms of the
House, in speaking of Cherry's arrest
You can't walk Pennsylvania avenue
without meeting them at every turn
There ia an individuality about oranks,
and student Of human nasure will
recognize one at glance. We have
taken eve.y precau ton to guard the
members of the House from the violent
actions Of these people. for crank is
violent when you least expect it.
The prOmptnesS with which Cherry
was elected from the House gallery
shows the excellent system in vogue at
tho Capitol in reference to cranks.
Cherry had not spoken fifteen seconds
before Doorkeeper Bowen grabbed him
by the collar and dragged him into the
CORR Tor outside.

mond yesterday by the score of to 3.
The home team did much better work
In the field than on Saturday, but dis
plsyed their old weakness when on the
bases. The men have also taken a
great tumble in their batting, and do
not seem to be able to hit any of the
opposing pitchers.
Boyd was in the box for Roanoke and
did not pitch his usual game. He claimed
that that his arm was sore, which pre-
vented him from using speed. He
threw slow ball during the entire
game, which seemed to suit the Rich
,monds. especially Setly, who secured
three hits.
A disgusting feature OF the game was
the dirty ball playing of Napier On
two occasions he deliberately interfered
with fielder. Such players should be
severely dealt with.
As usual. Roanoke made run in the
drst inning on OHagan's safe bunt, a
stolen Base, q passed ball and Grim's
error. But for stupid base running on
the part OF Everson another run would
have been made.
Richmond tied the score in the second
on foolish throw by Daniel to third,
on which Setley came in. They made
two moro in the fourth and from that
time until the end the game never was
In doubt. Things looked little bright
for Roanoke in the ninth when Daniel
led of with safe hit but Kirby, who
batteo in place OF McGinnis, sent an
easy one to short and double play re-
suited. O'Hagan flew out to Tate.

general satisfaction. Following is the

Disgruntled New York Pool Room Men
Swear Out Warrants for Jockey Club
Omcials.
BROOKLYN. May 5.-Peter DeLacey, q
New York pool room keeper. has,
through his counsel, George F. Elliott,
OF this city. prepared to do as much
damage as he can to the opening meet
ing OF the Brooklyn Jockey Club at
Gravesend tomorrow. Accompanied
by Mr.. Elliott, DeLacey visited the
district attorneys Office this noon. Mr..
Ridgeway said to DeLacey that If he
learned OF any violation OF the law or
any likelihood of it's being violated he
would be prompt to take proper action.
While the interview was progressing
delegation OF pool room men arrived and
were received rather coldly by the dis.
trict attorney. They brought with them
ahdavlts and warrants. The aff1davits
were from unknown parties and alleged
that the Brooklyn Jockey Club and It's
ofhcials were about to engage in lot
terry; that the money which is repre-
sented In the stake OF the Brooklyn
Handicap was lottery, and therefore
against the law of the State.
The affldavits did not touch on the
point OF bookmaking and poolselling on
VIC tIhCk, as In6G WOulQ O6 swearing
out warrant for something which was
in the future. Alleging the money now
ur for the handicap to be lottery
scheme cleverly enough gives q basis
for warrants to be issued.
The warrants were drawn for the off,
Gals Of the Brooklyn Jockey Club and
for prominent horsemen whose horses
will engage in this event. The pool
delegation soon took their departure for
Gravesend to hunt up a justice OF the
Eeace who would sign the warrants.
These warrants can have no effect ex.
