WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Several hun
dred letters, containing tenders of ser
vice to the japanese Government. In the
present war with China, have been re-
ceived at the Legation here. They come
from nearly every part of the United
States.
One OF the latest was from an ex-
Confederate at Greenville, Miss, oner-
ing to raise a battalion, and even a reBi-
ment Of men, " desired, at that place
and New orleans. Another was from
the Foreign Legion. of Cleveland, q.
A third came from an individual who
was willing to raise company or picked
sharpshooters, and a fourth was from a
person who had some torpedo device ne
was willing to part with for a considera-
ton.
such communica tons as the last men
toned are turned over to the naval at
tache of the Legation, to do with as ne
deems best. To the others, the Legation
officials return polite destinations.

That portion OF the talent which Is
always looking for "cinch'' bets had a
very hard time of 1t at Brighton on
cause of the downfall was the defeat Of
four favorites, two of which were at
very short prices. George Dixon was
the first to lose. On form he looked to
be the "cinchiest kind OF a cinch.' and
he closed at l to 2. Reiff rode bad
race, allowing himself to be shut off on
the far turn, and then finishing second
to Golden Valley, 80 to l shot. True
penny was the next favorite to fall. The
fourth race furnished another big upset
Sirocco was the favorite. TWO days be-
fore with 100 pounds up. he beat Hugh
Penny over six furlongs in ID. Satur-
day he had l23 pounds up, and the ia lent
grabbed the ! to 2 that was onered At
