Use of Omciul Envelopes.

The acting assistant attorney general
for the Post Office Department has given
an opinion to the actirg secretary Of war
that no officer outside of the executive de-
partments is entitled to use the official en-
velore for the Transmission Of any mail
matter to private persons. He says that
the privilege referred to is only granted by
the statutes to the executive departments.
Hence. it follows, he says, that the officers
in charge of post canteens at military posts
have not the right to use the official en-
velope in ordering merchandise for sale
over the counters of the cantecns nor for
sending samples of hardware and clothing
to any private person.

HER FIGHTING QUALITIES.
Those of the Steamer New York Hay
Been Onicially Determined.

Those of the Steamer New York Have
Been Onicially Determined.
The lighting qualities Of the American
liner New York have been officially deter.
mined. She Vas inspected at New York
last week by Naval Constructor Fernald,
and he has stated that she will make Q
first-class commerce destroyer. According
to Mr.. Griscom, president of the steamship
company. the inspection was to find out
whether the New York was able to carry
the guns required by the government She
was thoroughly examined, and her owners
are satisfied that she meets every require
meat of tho law.
The chief matter of inspection" said Mr.
Griscom, was the support of the guns.
AS the New York can carry ten 6-inch
riaed cannon ard secondary battery. and
the government requires only four, there
can be no difficulty on that score"
Mr.. Fer-ald said that after examining
her structural strength. engine rooms,
foundation for guns. steering and anchor
gear, he found her able to carry ten 6-inch
cannon ard corresponding secondary
battery Her speed has been sufficiently
tested by her TRANSATLANTIC voyages.
The inspection was made to carry out
the act of March 3. 1891, in order to get
the mail contracts awarded
The rev mail subsidy act goes into effect
on October II. Before that time the St.
Louis. the st. Paul, which is not vet COM
pieted. ard the Paris will have been in
spectsd by the government for this service.
The st. Paul Is expected to be finished by
October .. Sfe will not be used at once
for the mail service, as she will not ply he
tween Southampton and New York, the
regular mail route. The pay for carrying
the mails will be based upon mileage and
not weight. The price fixed is 81 a statute
mile. As there are fifty-two trips a year,
this will amount to $751;. $50 annually. more
than one-half the appropriation for the
whole foreign mail service.
The testing of the speed of the big new
liner st. Louis will take place in English
waters
The builders of the st. Louis and her
owners have no doubt that she will meet
every requirement CT the postal law.
None of the guns fer the liners will be
ready for some time. as the Senate struck
out the item to appropriate so00,o00 for
them. The next Congress will be called
upon to supply the ornaments. SO that the
new merchant steamships may be ready for
any emergency of war.

BLOW TO THE FIGHT.
Pusilistic Encounters In Texas Not
localized.

AUSTIN, Texas, July Estate Controller
Finley has given the Corbett-Fitzsimmor
fight at Dallas a setback. In a letter to
the tax collector at Dallas he says: while
the act of 1889 provides for an occupa-
ton tax of 500 for every fight between
man ard man. the legislature of this state
has by subsequent enactment made it I'M
lawful for any person to voluntarily enter
into a pugilistic encounter for money or
upon the result whereof any money Is
wagered That the effect OF the said act
was to repeal so much of the act of 1881
as permitted an occupation tax to be

appeals.

that the department will not attempt to

NO FORM OF BETS ALL OWED
Doubt as. to Whether the New York system
Cenld Be Permitted Here
SoiAe, Questions That May Have to be
Opinion ms to the Law.

While the announcement that Pe1ning
race track had been purchased by Mr. Bel
mont and other New Workers. fol the pur-
pose Of reviving legitimate racing in the
District has pleased the lovers here of horse
racing, some fears are expressed that the
scheme will fall through. It is generally
conceded that racing here could not be
made profitable in the absence of betting
1t is said to be the intention of the pur-
chasefs of the track to conduct betting ae-
cording to the system adopted on the New
York tracks, but it is doubted by those ia
miliar with the decision of Judge Cole in
the cases of the Ivy City bookmakers and
in the case of Fred. T. Miller whether such
betting, or, indeed, any form of betting
can now be permitted here.
Judge Coles decision, which was affirmed
by the Court of Appeals held practically
as construed in the district attorneys office,
that about any form of betting Is illegal
here. His decision was based on the act of
1888 prohibiting gaming and the setting up
OF the maintaining of any gaming table
contrfvaEce or device.
The betting system now conducted In New
York is acknowledged to be merely a sub
terfuge to evade the laws in force there,
and the bookmakers there still employ
clerks and record their bets in memoran-
dunn books. 1t is believed that such a prac-
tice here would be a violation of the laws
against employing any gambling contriv-
ance or device. No money actually passes
under the present New York system, but 1t
Is not believed that that fact would make
the system permissible under the laws in
force here
This is substantially the opinion express
ed by District Attorney Birney himself to
Star reporter Eha fourth section of the
act of 1888 says that "all games. devices
or contrivances at which money or any 9TH
er thing shall be bet or wagered shall be
deemed a gaming table within the meaning
of this act. and the courts shall construe
the preceding sections literally, so as to
prevent the mischief intended TO be guard
ed against"
That section Mr.. Birney believes. would
prevent any such form of betting as is now
carried on in New York. and, indeed he
expressed it. ANY other form of gambling
on horse races here

ADMIRE YALE's PLUCK,
Rnt the EnRlishnen Think 1t WOuli

Bnt the EnRlfshnaen Think 1t Would.
he an Uneqaal Match.
It begins to lock now as though there
might be some tnterna tional college games
after all, iHarvard's refusal to take part to
the contrary notwithstanding. Yale men
generally approve of the answer made to
the English universities. Yale has pract.-
csify said that she would take part in any
games the EngiishmeE wished to institute.
though she has limited plainly at the adj
stability of meeting simply the winner of
the Oxford-Cambridge games In offering
TO meet them without the aid of Harvard.
a combined Oxford-cambridge team, Yale
has been moved by the sense Of cbliga-
ton to Oxford incurred last summer, when
the Englishmen accepted the New Haven
university's challenge. Yale interprets the
English challenge not as en- International
proposal. but as friendly contest between
Tour naturally selected universities.
The reply of the athletes of Yale to the
challenge of Oxford and Cambridge has
been communicated to The latter lniver-
stiles by the Associated Press. and is
praised by the athletes of the two Enivers.-
ties as sportsmanlike document; but
neither university Will make any reply or
statement on the subject until the Oxford
and Cambridge committees confer on it.
An Unequal Arrangement.
Later it became evident that. without
exception. the Oxford and Cambridge ath-
letes are opposed to combining, their teams
to meet Yale alone. They said it would be
lopsided arrangement. President Koran
during the afternoon said 1t was too bad
that the personal feeling between Yale
and Harvard was such that they could not
have jointly accepted the challenge of Ok
ford and Cambridge when 1t was issued.
The issuing of the challenge was not re-
garded as purely international affair. but
Harvard and Yale were named because
they are two representative American uni
vers;t.es. He added:
IF We had regarded the challenge only
N the international significance, We might
have mado up Il team from Trinity Col
lege. Dublin, and other leading universities
of Great Britain. as well as from oxford
and Cambridge, If Yale were to make 1t
limited combination frotn the Other Amer
lean colleges. perhaps Oxford and Cam
bridge would accept. 1 hoped until l read
Yales challenge that Harvard would
change her mind, and l greatly fear that
the time is too short TO do anyth.n.. this
year. Perhaps, when Yale understands
the situation here she may remodel her
challenge on the lines have suggested"

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
She Failed to Obey II Criminal Court
Summons.


Word was received at police headquar-
te,s today that Marion Carson, alias Pran-
don, the negro Jackson City witness in the
safe blowing case, who refused to obey tho
courts subpoena served upon her, had been
arrested this morning in Richmond. Va.
The woman. who was a cook at Harry
Gamblers resort in Jackson City, was
summoned as witness for the govern
nent. By her, it is said. the government
expected to show an intimacy between
Auffort. Desmond and Jack Dempsey. The
woman was personally served with the
subpoena one day last week, and when she
failed to appear in court an attachment
was issued against her, and the Virginia
authorities have been searching for her
ever since. When she failed to answer.
Canuier explained that although he ad-
yised her to obey the summons. she told
him she would do nothing of the kind.
Her refusal to obey the subpoena was. OF
course contempt OF court, and 1t is expect
ed that when she is brought before Judge
Cole she will be punished by Delng SEN
fenced to a term in jail

Another Carthage System.

The Commissioners heard arguments to-
day regarding a method of cremation for
the disposal of garbage.
A representative of the Rider garbage
furnace appeared before the board and ex-
planned that system. 1t consists of an
elongated furnace peculiar to itself. There
are two chambers, the front one being pro-
v!ded with eight circular openings of any
chamber is a bridge wall three feet in
thickness. in the rear of which is another
chamber. in the dome of which are six cir
cGlar openings. In the rear of this is
second bridge wall. over which the products
of combustion pass entering the chimney.
The garbage is dumped into the circular
openings, and falls in cone-shaped masses,
thus exposing the greatest area OF exterior
TO the heat of the furnace. The furnace is
first charged with fuel in all its openings
and fired. This is continued until ii is
fully and thoroughly heated in all of its
chambers. When the requisite amount of
heat has been obtained it is again charged
for operation, and the garbage dumped
therein. The intense heat sets free the hy-
drogen gas from the garbage, and as a re-
suit, it is claimed, the garbage is almost
Immediately consumed. There are no odors,
it is claimed, from this system. The COM
pany offers to erect the crematory in six
weeks. and remove it at its own expense il
any nuisance exists 1t was stated that
the furnace Is in successful operation in
Pittsburg and Allegheny, and letters from
the superintendent of public health of
both cities certifying TO the efficiency of
the system were submitted.
Commissioner Ross expressed himself
in favor of ar investigation of the system.
ard when Health Officer Woodward returns
to the city he will look into the matter.
