FRUIT VENDORS MUST GO
The Market Company Has Recent Order
Revoked.
Not Allowed to Stand on Seventh
Street-Result of a Hearing
Held Today.

The fruit vendors will have to vacate the
sidewalk Of eth street recently set aside
for them by the Commissioners as a place
for them to sell their products.
The Commissioners, thinking they had
found solution to the problem of keeping
the push-cart fruit sellers Off of eth street
north Of Pennsylvania avenue, decided to
locate them on the wide portion of It'll
street between Pennsylvania avenue and
the market house AS soon as they had
accomplished this and the fruit sellers
took their places as specified the dealers in
the market house set UP cry that they
were injuring their business.
This morning a special session of the
board was called to hear the arguments of
Gen. William Birney, attorney for the
Washington Market Company, against the
use of the sidewalk. He said that in 1892
the market company, anxious to serve It's
patrons. had applied for a widening of 1th
street between Pennsylvania avenue and
g1artsd upon the market company agreeing
to assume the cost of the widening.
This the company did, the improvements
costing $1,31931. The congeSted condition
of affairs before this Improvement was
made, he said, was great Inconvenience
to the patrons of the market, and f the
fruit vendors were allowed TO remain there
short time.
For these reasons, and, further, because
he did not think the Commissioners mad the
right to allow distractions to the sidewalk,
he urged that the order should be revoked.
After some consideration on the part of
the order, ard the same was done forth
with.

OFFICIAL INFORMATION.
A Dispatch Received at the Chinese
Legation To-day.

Legation Today.
The following cablegram signed by the
Chinese foreign office, the Tsung Ii Yanen.
was received at the Chinese legation TO-DAY:
mo Americans were injured in the recent
riots, though several English were. Five of
the rioters have been arrested"
This is the first official information which
has been received by the legation concern
ing the recent riots, and the fact that moth
ing was sent until information of the arrest
of some of the rioters could be reported is
taken at the legation to mean that the
Chinese government is anxious to have the
outside world understand that China is eX
erting her utmost endeavors to punish
those who participated in the assaults upon
the missionaries.
The officials of the legation maintain
strenuously that the Chinese government
will exhaust every effort to bring the
guilty to justice They controvert in strong
terms the assertion that the matter will
admitting freely that prejudice exists
among some Of the lower classes Of the
Chinese against foreigners, they contend
that the weather. and better educated
do not share this feeling.
The legation officials also refuse to &C
cept the statement that the officials of the
provinces in which the rioting occurred
were implicated in the disturbances. They
admit the possibility of negligence, but not
of culpability on the part of the officials
They also direct attention to the recent
and liberal treatment of missionaries from
foreign countries proof of the absence
of antagonistic feeling to this class of for
eignerS.

The Thermometer Renews Its Reprehen-
ible Desire to Climb
There Ii Not So Much Suffering From
the Heat, However, for Various
Well-KnOwn Causes.

Poets and philosophers and lots of other
people who do not aspire to such exalted
positions have agreed for good many gen.
erations that woman Is the synonym for
fickleness. In this neighborhood, however,
persons who might have their attention
called to the subject would heartily agree
that when it came to being tickle the
weather could give lovely woman sub
stantial lead and distance her easily in the
race. Yesterday the mercury displayed a
charming and applaudable tendency to
withhold its ambitious ardor and restrain
itself somewhere within the limits Of dis
erection. OF course, 1t bordered on to the
unconventional, but in view of its wild
orgies of the day before, this could not be
regarded as sufficiently meretricious to be
a subject for critical assault. Today. how
ever, it forgot itself again, and there's no
telling what awful antics it will be guilty
of in the next forty-eight hours.
the maximum reached today at the
weather bureau up to 2:15 o'clock was 80
degrees. but the clouds that fitted across
the sun with pleasant frequency, and tho
steady breeze that blew under them, did
not cause this high temperature to be as
disagreeable as it is usually III this climate.
This was because the sensible temperature
was not as high as it was yesterday. That's
planned. Sensible temperature Is that
which the human body really experiences.
1t is possible for a thermometer to show
an air temperature of 100 degrees, while
the sensible temperature of the person
breathing it would not be more than 30.
This occurs in dry atmosphere where the
moisture from hot body is Immediately
taken up by the process of evaporation.
The dryer the air the mere rapid the evap-
Grafton, and the greater the evaporation
gets the less becomes the sensible tempera-
tUre. Everybody perspires.
The pores of some people do not exude
moisture as copiously others, and what
does come forth is evaporated at once and
leaves no sign, but everybody perspires, no
matter how smooth and dry their brows
may be nor how faithfully their collars
keep their native hue and resolution, if
those qualities are permissible in stuff that
goes to a laundry.
Today was dryer and consequently
evaporation was more rapid. Tomorrow
will be hot-hotter than today, and the
next day promises to behave itself no bet
ter. Loose garments, especially for women
and children, as little exerton as possible,
a careful abstention from too many ICED
drinks, but a frequent draught Of clear.
pure water; no overindulgance at meals, and
an even temper-especially that-will be
good things to remember by those who
would bear the solstice most comfortably.

badly worsted and driven from the boat.
Exasperated at his defeat and burning
with revenge, he boarded a train and ar

MANY NAVAL MATTERS.
Cases That Have Been Before the
President a. Long Time.

Cases That Have Been Before the
President Long Time.
Many questions of interest to the per-
sonnet of the navy are awaiting settlement
by the President, and inasmuch as they
were submitted to him nearly two months
ago and still remain unsettled the officers
directly affected are becoming somewhat
concerned as to the cause of the delay. In
cluded in the list are the records of ex-
amining boards in the case Of twenty-five
officers scheduled for promotion and several
court-martial cases. the final disposition of
which rests with the President. The prin-
cipal promotion cases now before the chief
executive are those of Capt Howell, Com
mander Ludlow and Lieut.. Commander
Coggeswell. There were majority and mi
nority reports in each of these cases, but in
each instance the majority report was IA
vorable to the promotion of the officer.
Promotions all along the line are barred by
reason of the failure to act in these three
cases. The case Of Medical Director Kersh-
ner, convicted by court-martial of unpro-
fessional conduct and sentenced to dis
missal, also awaits the action of the Pres
ident. 1t is understood that the Secretary
of the Navy has recommended a mitiga-
ton of the sentence in the case Of DIR.
Kershner on account of his excellent record
during and since the war. 1t is expected
that the President will find time to dispose
of all these naval cases in a few weeks, and
certainly before his return to Washington
in October next.

WE'LL TREATED ABROAD.
Mr.. Dwyer Discusses His Turf Expert
chccS.


NEW YORK, August 13.-Michael F.
Dwyer was among tie passengers who ar
rivel on the North German Lloyd steam
ship Fuda this morning. Beyond stating
that his return did not signify a complete
withdrawal from English racing, the turf
man did not care to discuss his plans at
length 1t is believed he will leave for Eu-
rope again early in the fall.
Mr.. Dwyer said that he enjoyed his trip
abroad exceedingly. He was asked when
Mr.. Croker would return. He replied that
Mr. Croker would leave the other side in
about a month He had, he said, secured
passage on one of the American line steam
ships and would arrive here about the mid
die of September.
Mr.. Dwyer said that he and Mr.. Croker
had been treated with great consideration
by every one while in England, and, taking
into account the condition of their horses,
he thought they had done very well.
While the stable had not been quite as
successful as he had hoped, he did not
hesitate to send entries to the English
races again.
The English system of racing does not
differ greatly from ours, he said, and he
thought 1t had many admirable features.
He said that the English horse owners
and turfmen generally are anxious to have
American competitors on the English
tracks.

The motion for an injunction was brought
by Frederick w. Anness and Geo. N. Pyn-
