TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 7, 1895,

ONE of the anti-AleXander's Island
race track newspapers of Washington
advises the people of that city to hold
a mass meeting and instruct the au-
thorities to suppress horse racing at the
track referred to. OF course the au'
tborities to whom it refer must be
those of Washington. But as their au-
tboritv doesn't seem sufficient to sup
press gambling nor any other sort OF
vice or crime within the jurisdiction OF
the District of Columbia, how it can
possibly suppress horse racing in Vir-
ginia. conducted under Virginia
charter, is what only a Washington
newspaper can tell The best possible
way. under existing circumstances, by
which the people of Washington can
assist the white people OF Alexandra
county, including the owners OF the
Alexander's Island race track, in their
efforts to secure the observance of law
and the preservation of order in that
county, is to subscribe literally to the
fund the latter are trying to raise, with
which to buy enough of the negro ma
iority there to elect proper men to the
county Offices.

JAPAN AND CHINA.

Japan, in conformity with the friend.
ly advice of Russia, France, and Ger.
many, has undertaken to renounce her
claims to final possession of the of Lilac
Tung peninsula, including Port Arthur.
1t is felt that this action has not only
served to strengthen the position Of
Russia, France, and Germany in the
far East, but will exercise particularly
favorable influence upon the Franco
Russian understanding. Russia has
invited Germany and France to unite
in a guarantee for the regular payment
Of the Chinese war debt.
A dispatch from Tien Tsin says the
Chinese peace ENJOYS left Taku for

known for certainty that China has
ratified the treaty of peace with Japan.
The exchange Of notifications at Che
Foo is to be formal affair.
A dispatch from Che Foo says /:
1.-THE warships of several of the powers
are assembling here. The situation is
regarded as ominous. Already eight
Russian warships, including three tor.
pedo boats, have gathered here, and
more are expected. In addition, an.
other British, French and American
and two German warships have ar
rived.

AN INTERESTING PoINT.-Messrs.
Marshall Mccormick and A. Moore, jr.,
have been engaged for several days as
attorneys in arguing before Judge T.
W. Harrison, at special term held by
him in Winchester, chancery suit in
volving the settlement of the estates OF
the late David Barton and Philip Will
liams, of the firm of Barton & Williams,
at one time the leading lawyers in that
section of Virginia. The chief point in
issue in the case was whether an ct
torney could be held liable for the
amounts of the receipts given by him
to his clients for claims received for
collection in the absence of any other
proof that said claims were collected,
or could have been collected had the
proper diligence been used to collect
them. Judge Harrison held that an
attorney could be so held liable. By
this decision the estates of Messrs. Bar
ton and Williams would have to pay
about SAC, 900 represented by such re-
ceipts, the whole amount involved in
the case being over 500, 0OO, about $780,.
600 of which has been shown to have
been paid. This decision is one OF
great Importance to every lawyer prac-
ticing in the State, for if Judge Harri-
sons decision should he sustained
by ths Court of Appeals-an ap-
peal having already been applied for
by Mccormick and Moore, represent
ing the heirs of Barton and Williams
there is hardly an attorney In the State
who could not be broken up financially
by recoyeries upon claims based upon
similar receipts, as few of them, alter
having collected claim, take up the
receipts,

A Richmond Man Robbed.

PHILADELPHIA, May l. The adven
ture of ]. w. Draining, of Richmond,
Va, during which he was robbed OF
81, 200 in cash and $500 worth of
jewelry and other valuables, by means
of the Knockout game, in this city on
Sunday morning, became known to-
day. Draining, who came to Phila-
delphia on business connected with a
large deal in tobacco, missed train at
the Pennsylvania railroad station, and
fell in with two strangers who induced
him to take drink. The liquor drunk
by the Richmond man was drugged,
and Draining at once became uncon-
scious. He was then robbed and left
on sidewalk where he was found by 8
cabman. No arrests have yet been
made.

From Honolulu.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Honolulu
advices to April 80 state that Minister
Hatch has received communication
from Secretary Gresham in which he
declined to interfere in the case of
John A. Bowler who is now serving q
sentence of FIVE years imprisonment fer
misprision OF treason. As Bowler had
taken an unqualified oath of allegiance
to Kalakua, Secretary Gresham holds
that he thereby lost his American citi-
zenship and forfeited all claim to the
protection of the American govern
ment. Seward, Gulick and Marshall,
who are American citizens, had not tax :
en- any oath of allegiance. However.
it was scarcely contended that mill.
tary commission cannot act upon case
of treason.

If THE Northern jingoes who seem
so anxious to involve this country in
foreign wars, succeed, they will have
to recruit their army chiefly from the
South, for, as proved by the muster
rolls, most of the federal soldiers dur
ing the war between the States came
from abroad, which source of supply
would then be cut of. And then, too,
in the war of 1912, though fought for
Northern, not Southern rights, and in
the Mexican war, of which the North
was the chief beneficiary, though op-
posed to it, the military ardor OF the
North compared by no means favorably
with that exhibited by the South. A
foreign war would soon effect the re-
peal the US. statute prohibiting ex-
Confederates from holding commissions
in the U. S. army.

CHICAGO, May 7.-As a rebuke to
the criticism made by Commander
Thayer, of the G. A. R.. of Massachu-
sets, the First regiment of infantry is
preparing to make the dedication of
the Confederate soldiers monument at
lakewood Cemetary most notable
event. Instead of firing party of 100
men participating in the ceremonies on
Decoration Day, there will be at least
500 acting in that capacity. Every
officer and enlisted man in the First is
enthusiastically in favor of patriotic
demonstration in connection with the
unwilling of the monument. Col. Tur-
ner predicts that the celebration will
be one of the greatest events ever wit
messed in Chicago.

If THE white vote of the South be di-
vided on the silver question, as
now seems highly probable, the
solid South will be broken at
last, for no sensible democrat
believes that the republicans will
divide on that question, or on any
other, for that matter. Their object is
to regain possession of the government,
and they will allow nothing to interfere
with the attainment thereof, for every
one of them endorses Senator Sherman's
remark, that ANY thing is justifiable in
law and morals that will beat down the
democratic party" But when that shall
be accomplished and the republicans, the
vast majority of whom in the South are
negroes, have control of the Southern
States, it will make no difference to a
white man in the South whether the
currency be made of silver or lead.

Mary. Rev. Cocker waived hearing
and was held in 5000 to appear at court,
two deacons of his church becoming
his security. The accused protests his
innocence, and said that he expects to
clear himself at the trial. Miss McIn-
tosh is pretty and has been promi-
nent member of his church, and was
the leader of the choir. She has al
ways borne an excellent reputation.

COUNTY NOTES.-The sets of survey
ors are busily locating the beds of the
electric roads near the Virginia end OF
the Aqueduct bridge, and are ex.
periencing some difficulty. The road
coming from Falls church, superintend-
ed by Mr.. r. Henry Phillips, desires to
come one way, and the Mt. Vernon
road wants to come another, while the
land owners near Rosslyn want to
make both roads come in on the same
track.
Work has again stopped on the re.
pair of the Aqueduct bridge. MANY
people ofthe county wish that the re-
pair of this bridge would be abandoned
entirely, and the government build a
new, wide and commodious bridge
there, capable of allowing electric roads
to cross over from Virginia to the ma
tional capital.
