WASHINGTON NOTES.

w. J. CALHOUN, the lawyer of DAN
vile, Ill. who has been selected by
President Mckinley to represent the
United States at the Spanish investi-
cation of DIR. Ruiz's death, has accepted
the appointment conditional upon the
health of his wife.
SECRETARY GAGE has given instruc-
lions that every employe in the treas
ury department shall be judged by the
industry, rapidity and faithfulness
with which duties are performed and
shall be graded accordingly in the COM
missions report which is to be made.
A similar inquiry will be conducted
in all the other departments, and many
changes probably will result in the
salaries and standing of the clerks
IT was reported at the capital that
the republican senators having charge
of the tariff bill have been compelled
to accept an amendment proposed by
Senators Wolcott, of Colorado, and
Jones, of Nevada, providing that any
country which shall enter into BIZ
metallic agreement with the United
States shall be allowed a discount of
rs per cent of the tariff rates upon the
products sent by any such nation to
this country.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has decided not
to interfere in the case of Joseph x.
Dunlop, proprietor of the Chicago Dis
patch, who was sentenced to two years
imprisonment for sending obscene
matter through the mails, and Dunlop
must serve out his term.
THE election of Deboe in Kentucky
makes the total membership of the
senate at Washington IS, composed OF
43 epublicans, 33 democrats and IL
populists and silver repub licans. With
Kyle the republicans would have A, a
tie, and with the vice president a ma
jority of one. 1t is believed, however,
that in case a party vote was imminent
probable that an election would oc-
cur in Florida, leaving the senate stand
ing before Deboe's election.
NOTHING of Importance was discussed
at the cabinet meeting at Washington
on the 3Oth. Most of the time was
spent in talking about the Grant mon
ument success.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY on the Sd sent
to congress a message concerning the
lynching of three Italians at Hahn
willie, La, on the night of August s,
1896. He recommended an appropri-
alton of Sc, 900 for the heirs of the per-
sons, without admitting the liability
of the United States in the premises.

AT THE ICE PALACE.
Great Public Interest in the Hockey
Games

Great Public Interest in the Hockey
Games.
The past week has been one of particular
interest TO local skaters and two events
of Importance occurred at the Ice Palace,
that popular rendezvous Of Washington
skaters.
The hockey game On Wednesday even
ing was virtually the intI oduction Of this
fine sport in this city, as il was the first
contest between two local teams. The
game showed conclusively that there are
enough fast and skillful skaters in Wash
ington TO form team strong enough to
compete successfully with any players
In the country. All they need is practice
and team work. OF course, it is now
rather late in the season for much to be
attempted in this line, but the interest
created in the sport promises well for
its future in this city. Next year 1t is
hopedthata mum ber of teamsmay be formed
and regular series of interesting games
arranged with the Baltimore Clubs.
Manager Towers, of the Rink, has done all
in his power TO arouse interest in the game
here, and he hopes next year TO see this
city represented by one of the strongest
aggregations III the country. Washington
is now ON par with many Of the Northern
cities as to speedy skaters.
The handicap race which took place on
Friday evening furnished q big surprise in
the victory of young Cassin over a number
of folder aud stronger skaters. Heis already
very skillful on the long skates, though
practically a novice. With age and ex-
pericnce, lie will make the best skaters in
the country hustle for their laurels.
Manager Towers has several attractions
in view for the present week, all OF which
are fully up to the usually high standard of
the Palace. Under the new arrangement
OF allowing the ice privileges free at the
afternoon sessions there has been a ma
terial increase in the attendance. As the
season progresses it is noticed that the
number of beginners is much larger, the
novices apparently gaining Courage the
longer they watch the fascinating sport.
Harry Sites, the local champion, win go
to Baltimore this week and compete in n
series Of races against the flyers of the
Monumental City. The skaters over there
are disposed to belittle our speedy men, and
Sites hopes TO modify this considerably
before he returns.

They propose also to keep complete

destination, time consumed in trip, actual
riding time, number of men, route and con-
dition OF roads, points of interest. and
whatever else is necessary to the COM
pleteness of the record. Such a record will
be OF great retrospective interest and will
be OF value in making subsequent trips

The recent edict of the Amateur Ath-

that the action of the union in passing

Fred c. Franz is one Of the most prom
lSing, all-round athletes in the city, and
bids rair to come prominently into notice
not only in this scene OF his local triumphs
but / n other athletic centers as well.
As member OF the Columbia Athletic
Club he has the advantage of the use of
grounds and gym, and above all has the
benefltofthe eeNceNentcoaching and training
OF Prof. CrosSley, to whom is due the credit
for tile rapid development of the young
athlete in his field work. Franz is about
twenty years Of age; is feet 10 IL
inches i'll height, and tips the scales at l67
pounds; is we'll built; spIenddly proper
toned, and well developed, and Is the pic
ture OF health and strength. He was a
member of the C. A. c. relay team last
season, and is not only a good runner at
any, except the endurance distances, but
is also fine Jumper for distance, as well
as height.
He first came into prominent notice at
the C. A. c. games. held on Columbia Field
on the 10th of October last, when he cap
tured three first prizes for running high
jump, doing . feet IA inches; the pole
vault, at 10 feet, and the broad jump,
10 feet 6 inches respectively. During
the past season he broke the indoor local
record for pole vault, clearing 10 feet and
slight fraction, the best previous record.
held for some time by O. Dudley. was
feet Ii inches. He is undoubtedly ca
pable of putting the bar up several notches
higher, and clearing it with equal ease
He will be entered in many of the nearby
open events during the coming season.
1t is Prof. Crossley's opinion, and he has
reason to be very proud of his pupil, that
Franz is one of the best allround men
he has ever met. and that he has before
him a brilliant future in athletics He
is faithful, earnest trainer, and a will
ing pupil, and withal bears his success
with becoming modesty.
