There were features on to-day's pro-

the Clubs inception.
For the first tine 1t raced under the
new laws and probably the most inter

can bets be made?"
Weather and track conditions were
all that could be desired.
There was about 1000 people present.

They Are TO he OF the Composite

An advertisement was issued from the
Navy Department yesterday calling for
proposals for building six light composite
gunboats for the navy This bid will be
opened on october ST. These boats will be
of about one thousand tons displacement
and VIII be built Of wood below the water
line, fastened to steel frames so that they
may be coppered and thus fitted for pro-
tracted cruising without docking
They are required 10 show twelve knots

there are no premiums for Increased speed

The vessels must be completed within
fifteen months from the date of contract,
and no more than two boats can be built
by the same firm. Of the SIX, four are tc

There is evidently some doubt in the mind
of the department officials as to whether
the boats can be built as desired within
the appropriations made for the purpose,
for bidders are asked TO submit their pro-

THE CASE OF TAYLOR.

In committing the sentence Of Thomas J.
Taylor President Cleveland has done an
act Of Justice that must meet with general
approval
The result Of the appealin the unfortunate
mans behalf is especially gratifying to
The Times. which was the first-and for
considerable time the only-newspapcr to
voice the sentiments Of those who believed
the extreme penalty not justified by the
circumstances surrounding the case.
To Deputy Commissioner of Pensions
Bell belongs the credit for inaugurating
the movement. for it was a conversation
between that gentleman and the editor that
led TO The Times giving the matter its
earnest attention.
The Times took exactly the position
taken by the President. and, as said before,
the result is very gratifying to it.
In the last paragraph OF his Endorsement
on the application for communication,
President Cleveland comments on 1.-THE ad-
visibility Of a classification OF murder
into degrees, as has been done with good
results in some OF the States"
The absence Of such a classification has
always been a source OF annoyance in the
administration Of The criminal law in the
District. Not only that, but it has in
numerous cases led TO a direct Illustration
OF justice.
Jures have been slow to bring in
verdicts Of murder where the instructions
OF the judge left them no alternative be-
tween the extreme crime and that OF man.
slaughter. 1t was, perhaps, becuaEe they
knew that in such cases the judge could
pronounce no sentence short of the death
penalty, and that clcmency lay only with
The President OF the United States.
This case is only another argument for a
romplete revision OF criminal procedure
in the District. Many attempts have been
made TO codify the laws, criminal and
civil. but for some reason they have in
Fariaby failed.
The statutes OF the States have denuded
The common law of much OF its injustice;
but here, for good or evil, it obtains in all
Its vlyidity.
The subject is a good one for agitation
when Congress meets.

Cong RESS AND ORGANIZED
LABOR.

The Times heartily indorSes the action OF
the Federation Of Labor TO secure the in
sertion OF a clause IN any District con-
tract stpulatug mat none hut local labor
be employed and also that the maximum
rate Of wages be paid, and it VIII make 1t
possible effort 10 bring about this desirable
result.
The request that the opinions Of business
men on this question be obtained and
published did not reach The Times until
after the Federation meeting last evening,
which made it too late 10 secure the in-
terviews, aud this explanation must serve
as an apology for their not appearing
this morning.
Organized labor when controlled by hon

GOOD NEWS FROM ALEXANDRIA
COUNTY.

From all appearances the good people
of Alexandria county viii have good cause
to rejoice over the result OF the trial of the
contested election cases, for it looks as if
Dickie'' Johnson's goose is cooked. The
evidence so far put IN shows plainly that
fraud and intimidation were pracuced and
that even the Walton election law-that re-
markable contrivance of political leger-
demain-was openly violated The report
OF the proceedings. published in The Times
to-day. makes interesting reading.
one of the most striking features OF the
testimony is that which shows the common
wealth attorney, the man of all others
who should uphold the Iaw-even Slippery
Dick Ehimself-Setting its mandate "a naught.
He marked ballots Tor voters, although the
law forbade him he being a candidate for
one OF the offices voted for.
The incident in which Constable Sisson
and the negro Butler figured as prin-
Cipals, is shown to have been a 'pUt-up
job" intended to getrid OF Sisson and put up
some one more pliantincharge of the election
booth II was understood that the reform
eTs Were to be done" if they undertook
to challenge. and thus the game went on.
There is no doubt that the outcome Of
this trial VIII show that the lava biding
element of Alexandria county's population
was in bitter earnest at the last election
and intended to rid the county of the
rule OF thugs, gamblers and corrupuopists
aud that but for the desperate practices
Of Johnson and his crowd, the present
legal proceedings would have been un-
necessary. The returns would have shown
the defeat OF the riugsters.

THE WHITE MANS DISGRACE.

THE WHITE MANS DISGRACE.
The massacre Of the Bannock Indians is
a disgrace that may only be wiped out in
bloody retribution. Ii is a bitter com
ncntary on the whole miserable treatment
OF the red man by the government.
These Indlans were merely seeking food.
Il is their nature 20 procure it by hunting.
II ever game should lie free to any one, that
one is the Indian. and especially SO in the
country where the Bannocks have been
slaughtered.
We have allowed the white man TO go
into tins very country aud exterminate
buffalo and deer for very Wantonness.
Our own Federal officers have been known
To make 1t their hunting ground and no
great outcry has been raised against them.
Europeans on pleasure bent go there for
sport, and often have the companionship
and protection OF officers of the army.
And yet we VIII not allow the Indian to
seek food in the way that has been his
for centuries. We have taken his lands and
we are supposed by way of compensation to
see that he is properly fed and cared for.
The rations he receives are not sufficient
for his support, and if he be not permitted
to hunt he must necessarily go hungry.
''The only good Indian is a dead Indian"
was evidently the policy of those response
bic for the massacre in Hoback Canon, and
they should be brought to a strict account
ing for it.

paired by Legislation.

Assistant Secretary Curtis, OF the Treas
ury Department, who went TO London to
deliver to the Messrs RothschiId the foreign
qouta of bonds in the recent gold syndicate
sale, returned to Washington yesterday.
In the course OF a coHversatiOn regarding
his trip, Mr.. Curtis said:
1.-The business in London was successfully
completed and / am glad to return to my
own country. 1 found the feeling regarding
investments in United States stocks, bonds,
and other securities, both public and private,
better than 1 expected. There is a very
large amount of money in England await
ing Investment. and / am satisfied that if
the holders were assured that the value OF
what they bought would not be reduced by
legislation regarding our currency, large
amounts would flow to this side Of the
water and an era of great prosperity
would follow in this country.
''Tne ambassador, Mr.. Bayard, and in
bis absence the charge d'affaires, Mr.
Roosevelt. and the other members OF the
United States embassy; Mr.. Collins, our
consul general in London, and the people
in his office, were very kiBd and did every
thing possible for our pleasure and comfort.

The political excitement attendant up
Onac change OF government was mos tmdrked,
and the dissolution OF parliament and the
campaign for the new selections were very

that the change of government made no

nlents, and though / was in the treasury
the day after the announcement of the new
ministry taking office, there was no at
tendaHt line of Office-seekeTs and the heads
OF bureaus and divisions had no anxiety as
to any prospective decapitatiOn.
''In fact, was told by a member OF the
new government that the total patronage,
including of course, the highest officers,
only amounted To about sixty places, and
one OF the hardest problems the COnser-
vative leader had to deaf with was a fair
division OF these few places among those

There is some more trouble about those
fine residence and business lots at New
Alexandria. Mr.. Levi W Huffman is the
latest complainant about the style in
which the lots are shifted about on paper
and the titles and localities.
Mr.. Huffman is not satisfied with his
purchase. He said yesterday that the
result of the suit of Mrs. Bell against the
company now in the hands of Messrs
Ralston & Sddons might show that the
company had sold the same lot to him and
that purchaser.
In that event he viii sue for the re-
covery of his money. He thinks that the
investigation may prove that the lot he
now holds is the one originally sold to
Miss Carrie Dundas.
Mr.. Huffman said that during his bar
gaining for lots subsequent to his first
purchase the company shifted them three
times so that he gave up the notion of buy
ing and is now waiting the result of Mrs.

day that he regarded President Phillips
as being well disposed and friendly to the

He stated that the president is about TO
have new awnings placed on the cars at
mis- own expense. Mr.. Hawkins believes
hat Mr Phillips is doing what he can to
advance the interests OF the employees and
has no objection 10 their belonging to the
union. He also states that he has known
cases where Mr.. Phillips was aware that
men applying for jobs intended to join the
union. Mr.. Hawkins said that this view
is entertained by at least twenty OF the
employees.
Some time ago, when the subject Of the
awnings for cars was discussed in The
Times, employees OF the Metropolitan line
stated tnat the awnings now III use We're
paid for by the employees themselves and
that the awnings were a concession due
to the requests OF the employees for the same.
