THE MISSIONARY TROUBLES.
The president believes that the energetic
steps taken by the government in the troubles
in China. in which missionaries were assaulted
and missions destroyed are all the more likely
to result in future safety to our citizens in
China because the imperial government Is. he
is persuaded, entirely convinced that we de-
sire only the liberty and protection Of our own
citizens and redress for any wrongs they MAJ
have suffered. and that w have no Interior de
signs or objects, political or Otherwise.
China will not forget either our kindly Serv-

Eckfagton Rapid Transit.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Mr.. Schoepf speaks of inconvenience to
citizens, and depression in the values of
their homes" The only depression in
values" in our section has been the direct
result of diminished means of transit, since
the companies. which he represents bought
the road. We used to have a line running
every six minutes, with only one transfer,
and it took us eighteen minutes to get to
18th street. Now We have a line, with
cars at intervals Of eighteen to twenty-five
minutes-except in storms when we have
no cars for days-three transfers, and an
hour to get to 18th street.
The damage to those who wish to rent
rooms or houses or to sell houses has been
incalculable.
A lady told me last week that she should
sell her house at sacrifice, for no other
reason than that her health was injured by
the long unsheltered waits for three differ
ent cars to go to her business.
There is probably "a disposition to
crush the read" on the part of residents,
if not of Commissioners; and any ruin"
which gives us a transit instead OF a
transfer company will be welcome; and
even the abandonment of this company's
line with the hope of another would appre-
ciate values in the sections which II mas
so long outraged.

FEW ODDS OFFERED
Even Money the Rule on Today's
Boat Race.
CORNELL is STILL THE FAVORlTE
The Crews at Poughkeepsie Stretch
Their Muscles.
GENERAL SPORTING NEW S

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 24.-The
weather conditions today are all that the
most fastidious of oarsmen could desire,
and the Columbia Cornell and University
of Pennsylvania crews who are to row in
the postponed tri-college race at 4:30 this
afternoon are consequently in high spirits.
The river is placid as pond. and the
wind is in the northwest. change to
southerly southwesterly wind, blowing
against the ebb tide, might make rough
water, but there is little probability of such
a radical shift of the wind. The ebb tide
commences at 2 pm, and boatmen say at
4:30, the time set for the race, it will be
ma terally faster than at the same time on
Friday.
The Cornell men were first up this morn
ing rising at 6:45, and after a hearty break
fast lounged about the broad piazzas and
in hammocks until o, when Capt Troy took
| the crew out in the shell for fifteen min
utes to pull just muscle lubricator.
The Quakers slept until O'Clock, when
they breakfasted and then went down to
the boat house to give their shell final
test The oar locks, which were wrenched
somewhat out of position by the accident
| of Friday, have been righted, and the shell
is now all ready for the contest e. j.
Nearns of Worcester, who has been here
placing his patent oar locks and equip
ments on the Pennsylvania shell, says that
the patches which have been put on the
the four miles. This statement is pooh
poohed by both the Cornell and Columbia
crews, who look upon it an excuse for
! the Qpakers in case they don't win.
The Columbia crew slept late. Between
10 and IL am. they took a short row, mere
ly to timber up. The menus of all the
crews call for hearty meal at noon, after
which the men will &C to bed to sleep until
the time to report to the referee at the
start. All the crews will row with the
same personnel as announced on Friday.
Cornell is still the favorite for first place,
though the hackers of the carnelian and
white not giving the heavy odds quoted
| an occasional bet of to l on the Ithacans
against either of the ether crews.
Yesterday Hamilton Fish of Columbia
sent note to Capt. Bull of Pennsylvania
apologiZng for having said when it was
announced on Friday that the Quakers'
shell had been wrecked that he believed it
was a put-up job. Today Mr.. Fish receiv
ed the following note from Capt. Bull,
dated Sunday:

PIN and Mahony to BE Pitted Against
Hobart and HnrNey.


Hobart and Harvey.
DIR. Joshua PIN, champion tennis player
of England and Ireland, accompanied by
H. S. Mahony, arrived at Boston Saturday
from New York, where they landed from
the Campania the night before. They re-
ported for play this morning in the Neigh
borhood Clubs invitation tennis tourna-
ment PIN is regarded by many as the
greatest tennis player in the world. Maho-
ny is also an expert, but there are many
Americans who ere anxious to try results
with him.
PIN confirms the news that he intends to
retire from tennis after this season. The
tournament which opened today in Boston
has aroused the greatest enthusiasm
among tennis players throughout the east,
and all Boston seems crazy over the game.
Big stands have been erected around the
courts on which the matches are to be play
ed and about $1,000 people are expected to
visit the courts during the week.
A delegation of forty tennis cranks left
New York yesterday, while car load
apiece will be contributed by Buffalo and
Toronto. DR.. Dwight will probably referee
most OF the matches, and experienced play
ers will be secured to act as lineSmen.
Three matches a day will be played, eX-
cept on Friday, when four are scheduled.

morning and two each afternoon, but on
Friday there will be a double event in the
morning also. The feature of Thursday s
play will be a match between Great Bri-
tain and America in doubles, Hobart and
Harvey, the American champions, being
pitted against the visitors.

SANGER TO BE SUSPENDED.
Chairman Gideon VIII Investigate
His Amateur Status.

His Amateur Status.
Walter c. Sanger, the fast bicycle rider
ard member of the Spalding team, will be
suspended today by Chairman George D.
Gideon of the l.. A. w. racing board, pend
ing an investigation into his amateur status.
With Sanger there is every possibility that
another member of the same team will
be notified that he too must show cause
why he should not be declared a profess
sional rider.
The charge against Sanger is that of
selling his prizes won at different race
meets, and particularly a diamond woh
last September at Springfield. He is also
charged with having received a check in
stead Of a prize at the Boston Press Club
meet last week at Waltham. This latter
charge is also made against Titus, and 1t
is rumored that Harry Tyler is also in
cluded in the last charge.
Sanger when told that he would probably
be suspended, seemed shocked. He said:
Fate seems to be against me in a match
race. Just as the one was made with
Johnson he was declared a professional
and now that / have the race on with Muir
ply next Saturday this comes to ME. 1

Movement for Piayer-Managerx.

The announcement that Quinn of the ST.
Louis Browns. is to be made manager
captain shows the tendency of the times
to put mines in charge of playing managers.
While the experiment has not always
proved successful there is nothing to in
dictate that a non-playing manager would
have succeeded when the playing manager
failed. The Clevelands, Pittsburgs, New
Yorks and Chicagos have playing man
ayers. Ewing is virtually manager of the
Cincinnatis, as Nash is of the Bostons,
Bancroft and Selee being figure heads
Foutz's days as manager of Brooklyn are
numbered and Capt. Griffin will succeed
him. This leaves Baltimore, Philadelphia,
Washington and Louisville with non-play-
ing managers.
Baltimore's success has been due more to
Capt. Robinson than Marager Hanlon is
the belief of many. However that may be-
the Orioles are the only club CT the twelve
who have been strikingly successful with
a non-playing manager.

Shall Alien Race Track Voters Rule
Alexandria COuntys

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Much as has been written and published
concerning the condition of affairs in Alex
andria county, few of your readers can
comprehend the gravity, the far-reaching
Importance, of the issues involved in the
proceedings which have been instituted
by Messrs. Frank Hume and Douglass for
the purpose of maintaining the purity of
elections in our county.
A large amount of testimony has already
been taken, which fully establishes numer-
Gus specific and wanton violations of law :;
yet outside of these facts of testimony are
certain other leading, pregnant facts,
known to every intelligent citizen Of our
country; facts. unfortunately, only too IA
miliar and inControVertible.
1t is unhappily true that the intelli-
gent, industrious and taxpaying classes
of our citizens are considerably outnumber-
ed by a mass of ignorant, non-producing.
non-taXpayinS ,popula ton, from which
come large number of our voters. Hth-
erto, with this enormous evil to face and
grapple with, the people of the county
have yet been able TO secure reasonably
good government. But new dangers con-
front us. Recently, owing to the presence
of two race tracks in our county, there
has been brought into our midst a swarm
Of vicious, law-breaking, alien population
vomited upon us-not resident in any true
sense-which absolutely, without eXagger-
alton of statement, threatens our civilZa-
ton. Fortunately this pernicious element
has, can have, little, II any, nSlty OF ABODE
Could it's Incorporation into our body polite
become assured through any fiction or mis-
carriage of law we should have scant pro-
lection for life and property, the burdens
of taxation would become intolerable and
the public money would be given over to
waste and plumber. In word the very
ends of government would be subverted or
defeated.
Against such possibilities the better
classes feel they are shielded, at this
juncture, by the protecting arm of the
judiciary of our county. In Judge Chi
chester we have the best type of judicial
officer Fearless, acute and incorruptible,
our people have no anXieties as to the is
sue of the proceedings pending before him.
1t is safe to say that the violators of law
will fird that for them the quantity of
his mercy will not be strained.
