Beaconfield,s Silence.

In 1875 Lord Beaconsfield paid his first
and only visit to Longleat, and Lord Bath
said afterward that he was ''the dullest
(the word, writes the canon in a subsequent
letter, was rather the most silently guest
he ever had in his house: he hardly ever
spoke" Undoubtedly Lord BeaconsfIeld
could be most agreeable when in the humor;
buthe needed. mostapparently, the stimulus
of, congenial companionship, or of some
end which was worth the effort. BY all
accounts, he was given to fits Of taciturnity,
and although he was known in his youth as
voluble and persistent talker, 1T was inn
possible to watch his sphiDxlike immobility
in the House of Commons, sitting with
folded arms and seldom speaking, without
feeling that silent meditation was more
natural to him than speech and the turmoil
OF debate. And that seems to have been his
own opinion. One OF those who heaM Lord
Baths remark on the silence of his dis
tinguished guest, was Mr.. Richard Doyle
("Dicky Doyle.'') IT believe" he said,
'.that talking was always more OF less of
an effort for Disraeli; and, indeed, he once
told me as much. Circumstances he said,
have forced me to talk great deal, but
nature intended me to be silent man.

Considerable dissatisfaction at the ruling

among the Washington wheelnen who ac-
companied their representative racers

was the reply.
LOCAL MEN INDIGNANT.
This was q most unsportsmanlike pro
ceeding," continued the gentleman, land
in direct violation OF all cycling law and
custom. when man is protested, the
person making the protest must present
himself at the track and state his grounds.
There was nothing OF the kind in Sims
case. The referee took the matter in his
own hands and without making any state
ment, declared that Fred Sims could
not race"
Manager Mex cans request that Sims
be allowed TO race under protest, which
is ordinarily permitted when objections are
made in such cases, was peremptorily re-
fused. The eeiirc, team was then told
by Mr.. Mexican to Withdraw The referee

K RAYS SHOW THE QUARTER
Second Shadowgraph Of Baby

Little Stephenson Lad WIN Now Be
Operated on as the Roentgen Type
Shows the Quarter Lodged in the
Aesophagus-Physic Much In
terested in the Experiment.

Another experiment was performed with
the Roentgen rays yesterday at the Army
and Navy Medical Museum on the child Of
Mr.. F. A. Stephenson with the object of
locating silver coin swallowed by tile child
about eight months ago These Roentgen
types are being taken preliminary to IN
operation by DR.. b. B. Adams Of 927 New
York avenue, the object Of which is 10 re-
move the coin from the aesophagus.
These experiments have been eminently
successful, because eminently practical,
and have demonstrated a fact which was
denied by several of the most prominent
members of the legal profession OF Wash
tngton.
About eight months ago the Stephenson
child was playing with a silver quarter,
and as it disappeared it was thought that
II had been swallowed. Some months after
this accident the child began to grow Ill,
but not seriously SO, the illness being indi-
Gated by wheeling sound from the lungs
which was very palpable after the Child
had taken any unusual exercise. The little
thing is only two years OF age, audis there
fore a difficult subject, having no means
of indicating the locus of IL spain.
sCouTEDBYBIsC OLLEAGuEs.
DR.. Adams, the attending physician, held
TO the theory OF the child having swallowed
the coin, and thatit had made a Judgment
In the aesophagus. Several of the physi-
clans TO whom he communicated this theory
were disincined to accept it, aud it is said
that some of them laughed at II as absurd.
DIR. Adams, however, was SO impressed
with his vie " that he got the consent of the
parents to have Roentgen type made of
the body OF the child, or at least as much OF
1t as would demonstrate whether his opin-
Ion was well founded.
The type was taken at the Army Medical
Museum by DR.. Gray OF that institution
and DR.. Adams. With the permission OF
Dr.. Adams the type is above reproduced

NEWS FROM ALEXANDRIA
Remains of Otto voight, the Suicide,
Still Unclaimed.
MurderOus Assault on q Colored Man.
Suit Against the Mount Vernon
Electric Road.

Robert Jackson, young colored man,
is lying at his home on Upper King street
in precarious condition, from the effects
Of blow inflicted on his head with brick
by Harry Fountain, also colored.
The assailant is still at large, and it
is supposed that he went to washin gton,
as he was last seen going in the direction of
that city. The difficulty between the two
men occurred in the old Virginia House, on
West King street, at an early hour yester-
day morning From what can be learned
from those who witnessed the affair, Jack
son, with several friends, was playing
pool, when Fountain entered, and remarked
that he was ..goiDg to do Jackson, and
left the place. In a few minutes he re-
turned, and before those present in the
room, could interfere, jackson was lying
upon the floor with blood streaming from
terrible wound in the head, inflicted by
large stone thrown by Fountain. The
assailant, as soon as he committed the
crime, escaped from the building, and, as
above stated, is Still at large. Jackson
was carried to his home, a short distance
from the Virginia House, where an examl
nation of the wound was made, and it was
found that bis skull was badly fractured.
The remains OF Otto voigt, the young
man who committed suicide in New Alex
andria, will be buried this afternoon IN
less some friend or relative should claim
the body before that time. The mystery
as to the identity OF the suicide deepens.
Yesterday it was supposed that Otto Voigt
and Joe Kolrherr, recently employed at
the Hotel Enrich in Washington, were
one and the same person. Kolrherr was
found in this city yesterday. He is work
ing at the Fleischman House. He stated
that he was formerly employed as store

and has always represented club of this
city. Last winter the firm with Which
lie is connected here had no use for his
services for two months and Sims went
to Baltimore during this period and was
employed by a bicycle dealer He entered
some races as member of a Baltimore
bicycle club, which he had Joined. but was
protested because he had not been living
in the city for six months Soon after he
returned to Washington
NOW lie Is protested beca use he has not
been living in Washington six months,
His triendsargue that when he was declared
lnehglbie to enter from Baltimore that
amounted to declaring him resident of
Washington, and that his residence in
Washington has never been broken, In
addition to this it has been six months
lacking i've days since he returned to
this city from Baltimore, and it is thought
that under the circumstances to plead
noD-residence in his case is certainly in
justice. Ihe section OF the l.. A. W. laws
which covers the case reads as follows:
~ team shall be limited to three riders.
each of whom shall be member of the
club entering the team for at least three
months previous to the date of the meet
Each team member must also have resided
within five miles of the city or town where
the club has its headquarters, for at least
six months previous TO the date of the
contest"
HOW IT Is CONSTRUED.
The Washington wheelmen say that this
law evidently applies only to club meets
and not to inter-city races, such as those
which took place in Baltimore yesterday.
Owing to the treatment which the team
met with in Baltimore, it was urged by
some wheelmen to call off the return
races, which were to be scheduled for
this city.
Manager McKean was seen by Times
reporter last evening, and he expressed
himself as indignant at the arbitrary rul-
ings of Referee Mott. He said that he
understood that the referee was acting
under Instructions from Chairman Gideon
OF the L. A. w. racing board, who had
sent Instructions concerning Sims case.
Mr.. Mexican gave it as his opinion that
Mr.. Gideon had been misinformed respect
ing the matter, and that the case origi-
mated in Washington. He says that he
will thoroughly investigate the affair and
see that the blame rests where it be-
longs.
