Rumors About:Prosecution.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2l.--
A rumOr has been in circulation
about the capitol that it was the
intention of the civil service COM
mission to prosecute all federal
office holders who attend political
conventions. This was denied to-
day by Civil Service Commissioner
Roosevelt, who said the commits
sion had no authority to take such
action. The rumor, he explained,
probably had its origin in the re-
Issuance Of President Cleveland's
famous order of 1886, relative to
politics in the administration of
government officers.

weights, as follows :

The horses were through with
their morning exercises long before
the crowd began to arrive, and,
carefully tended and guarded, were
awaiting the notes of the bugle
that will be the signal for them to
go to the post, for start in the
race that is worth about $ll 900 to
the winner. There is little doubt
that Ramapo will be the favorite,
when the horses go to the post, but
when everything is considered,
the only conclusion that can
be arrived at, is that the
race is open. Betting is likely to be
heavy, and well distributed train
ers regard Rampo as having best
chance of winning, with Henry of
Navarro close second choice. Had
Sport another jockey he would be
looked upon with. more favor.
PickpOcket has a good following
who say everything depends upon
the start.
This afternoon the sun beat
down mercilessly on the track, and
waves of heat made it appear to be
rising and falling. The breeze
which has been pleasantly cool all
morning, died out this afternoon,
and it was hot everywhere. The
brick walk in front of the grand
stand was avoided for twas hot to
the soles Of shoes, while in the
betting ring it was like an oven.
when betting began and the strug-
Cling mass of people fought with
each other to get best odds. First
odds, posted in betting ring were:
Sir Walter, four to one; King Lee,
Comanche, fifteen to one Ramapo,
eight to five; Henry of Navarro.
four to one; PickpOcket eight to
one; Kinglet, Don AlOnzO, twenty
five to one; Sport, Banquet, ten to
one; Stowaway, forty to one; Cha

Dogs Understand Our Language.

Prof. n. S. Shaer in June Scribner's.
The creation Of something like
language among our civilized dogs
has naturally been accompanied by
the development of understanding
of human speech. Although we
cannot attach much importance to
the mass of anecdote on this point,
there is enough which is well at
tested, sufficient, indeed, which has
come within the limits of my own
observation, TO make it clear that
dogs, even without deliberate
teaching, frequently acquire a toll
erably clear understanding Of
a number of words, and even of
short phrases. They will catch
these not only when given in dis
tinct command, but when uttered
in an ordinary tone without any
sign that they relate to their af-
fairs. 1t is true that these under
stood words generally relate to
some action which the dog is ac-
customed to perform, yet there are
instances so well attested that they
deserve credit, which seems to
show that the creatures can get
some sense of the drift of converse
ton, even when it is carried on by
persons with whom they are not
and does not clearly relate
to their own affairs.

THE MIKADO WILL FIGHT.

The Emperor of Japan has declared
war against the Emperor of China and
has formally notified all the govern
ments of the world. The japanese
warships have already sunk Chinese
transport with 900 men ON board and
had big fight with a Chinese iron,
clad, which finally got away and
reached port in a disabled condition.
These encounters have shown that
the Japanese possess a fine navy,
manned by efficient seamen. Japan
should, from her insular situation,
naturally be a maritime power, her
position in regard to Asia being very
similar to that of England to Europe
While she is not to be compared
with China in either area or popula-
ton, her inhabitants have adopted
European customs with much greater
facility than the Chinese and are much
more civilized and intelligent. Since
the memorable expedition of Commo-
dore Perry, she has opened her ports
to the entire world and has made ire
mendous strides, though recently
some jealousy has been shown towards
foreigners. The tactics of the French
and German armies, the best in the
world, have been adopted and some of
her naval officers have been educated
at Annapolis A brisk war will prob
ably do her much good and will, par
adoxical as it may seem, have a ten
dency to further civilize and enlighten
both countries.

MEMBERS HOPEFUL.

The tariff situation remains practi-
cally unchanged but a marked feeling
of hopefulness prevails among the
members of Congress and many pre-
dict that the end is very near at hand.
So strong is this sentiment that the
House caucus, which was to have
been called last Tuesday, has been
postponed for the present with the
view that it will not be nece ,sary. At
least two-thirds of the members of
both branches have arrived at the con
clusion that the main thing now is to
settle the agitation and give the suf
fering industries of the country a
chance. Having arrived at this con
clusion it will not take them long to
arrive at an agreement. There is not
such wide difference between the
two bills as is popularity supposed and,
while the great majority of the people
might prefer the Wilson bill, with its
fuller list of raw materials, the Senate
bill is not to be despised as n measure
of revenue reform. The question will
not be ended by the passage of the
Senate bill, for the people of this coun
try will neverabid taxation in favor o.
monopolies and the matter will never
be allowed to rest until our tariff laws
are framed in accordance with true
Democratic principles-for revenue

commissioner of Immigration
Stump on last Friday appeared before
the Senate committee of immigration
to argue against the bill which has
passed the House providing for the
inspection of immigrants by United
States Consuls. Mr.. Stump stated that
immigration had decreased during
the past two years from 440, 900 to not
more than half that number and
he contended that if the pending bill
requiring certificates from United
States Consuls became a law immi-
grafton you'd cease almost entirely.
No vote was pressed owing to the
absence of all the Democratic mem
bers of the committee except the
Chairman, Senator Hill.
