SAILORS STRANGE STORY.
Says the Murderer of the Nc
Glinchys Has Gone 10 Cuba.

oregon City, Ore, Jan. John W. c.
Green, who has been hiding in this city
for the past two days, having deserted
the British ship Lord ElGin. which left
Portland for Cape Town last week. tells
a seemingly Improbable story about the
escape from this country of James Dun
ham, who murdered the McGlinchys near
San Jose, Cal, on May 27 last
Green says that in April and May he
worked ON the ranch Of Bernard Murphy,
near San Jose, and during a part of that
time Durham was a fellow laborer with
him on tie ranch. At the end of May
Green went to San Francisco and stopped
at Peter McManus' boarding house. but
shipped from the Lick House on June 3
as second officer of the American ship st.
John, with full cargo Of wheat and flour
for New York.
When seven DAYS out, while the vessel
was off the Mexican coast, a stowaway
showed up on deck, and Green recognized
himas Durham. Dunhamappealedt oGreen
not to reveal his identity, To call him
Brown and treat him well, and gave the
officer $50 in gold. AT the mates re-
quest the stowaway was assigned to his
watch and put to work as a seaman.
The st. John had a rather slow passage
and did not arrive at New York until
November II. Green and Durham went
ashore together. and near the wharf met
an officer of the fiiibustering ship BeT-
muda. The idea or volunteering greatly
pleased Durham aud he at once made ar
engagements to 90 to Cuba. The vessel left
port the next DAY, and Durham went with
it.
Green claims that was the last he saw
OF Durham, whom he did not then know
to be a murderer. In explanation ut his
ignorance OF the MGihhchy massacre
Green said he seldom looked al newspaper.
Green represented himself as a graduate
of the University OF Virginia, class of So.
His parents. he says, live in San Fran
cisco.

GOLF GAMES FINISHED.
Messrs. Wiley and Lockett Take
the Last FoursOme Match.

the Last FoursOme Match.
The result of the final match in the
foursome series of the Washington Golf
Club yesterday was as great a surprise
as that of the semi finals on last Monday.
on account of the splendid showing Of
Mr. Riggs and DIR jenkins in their previous
match, they were booked as sure winners
of the cups. But '.uhc best laid plans of
mice and men oft gang sglee," and so it
is with golfers.
Mr.. Riggs had been playing far more
than any flesh and blood could stand
and the strain told on him so that he did
not show the splendid form which has
characterized his playing throughout the
tournament. Tie result was that Messrs.
Wiley and Lockett won the match and the
cups with up and . TO play.
The wind was blowing a perfect gale
during the whole match, which made
good driving simply impossible. The
balls went wide of the flags time and time
again
The feature of the game was the num-
Der of prizewinneTs VINO competed; three
of the -four having won laurels in the past.
DR. Ralph jenkins is the winner OF this
years gold medal, and has come within two
strokes of making the bogic.
Mr Riggs was one of TIE winners of the
last foUrsome tournament, and Mr.. Loekett
won the silver putter for one month
The prizes won by MeSSrs Wiley and
Lockett yesterday were as follows: A
handsome pair OF cut glass and silver
mounted beer mugs.
The consolation games will take place
next Friday and Saturday.
Among the entries are Messrs. Prescott,
Mitchell. May. Helen, Boardman, Dunn
Mcmillan, Wiley and LUckett.

Mr.. Mccormick yesterday introduced a
hiil relating to the adulteration OF foods
and drugs IA the District OF Columbia.
The TIN forbids the sale in the District
OF any article OF food or drug which is
adulterated within the meaning OF it. The
courts are authorized to construe literally
the provisions OF the act.

include all medicines for external or in
ternal use, antiseptics, disinfectants and
cosmetics. The term food" includes con-
fectionery. condiments, and all articles
used for food or drink 10y man.
In the case OF drugs, an article is con-
Sidered aculterated when, sold under
name recognized in the United states phar-
macopoeia, il differs from the standard
or strength or purity laId down therein:
and If, when sold as patent medicine, il
is not composed OF an the ingredients adj
vertised or printed or written on the bot
ties. wrappers or labels OF or on with the

STARS All THE ICE PALACE,
Miss Davidson Continues to Please
the Large Audiences.


Miss Fannie Davidson continues to delight
the big audiences at the Ice Palace by her
wonderful featS in fancy skating. The
largest crowd OF the week was present
last evening. Poetry Of motion isanempty
phrase Until one has seen the wonderful
ease with which this young lady executes
the most difficult movements. Not the
slightest physical effort is perceptible
in her work, and it would require only
very small stretch of the imagination to
think of her as fitting TO and fro ON nothing
more substantial than airitself
Miss Davidson will continue her exhibit
tions each evening ofthe present week COM
menciBg promptly at 8 O'Clock.
Donohoe is almost too well known in
Washington to need more than an an
nouncement of his coming. His splendi /
skating as well as his gentlemanly de-
meanor won him the greatest popularity
here last winter, and his friends will be
glad TO greet him again at the Ice Palace
Lawson gained a firm hold on the popular
esteem of washingtonians by his sports
manlike riding in the big six days bicycle
race, and his friends among both the wheel
men and skaters will give him a warm well
come in his new role.
John Nelson is ne wcomer, but he enters
the field of the stars with a high reputa-
ton for speed and endurance, and it is ex-
pected that he will make his competitors
hustle for their honors He is known as the
champion skater OF Canada, and has defeat
ed some Of the best men in the Middle West
There will be a number of competitive
races, in which several OF the local skaters
will enter. as generous handicaps will be
given over the professionals.
Nightly attempts to lower various records
will be made by the three cracks. The
records established by Donohoe, Davidson
and Mosher last winter at the Ice Palace
were the talk of skaters everywhere, and
Some wonderful work will have to be done
before they are lowered. The familiarity
of track will be a great advantage to
Donohoe and Lawson, anditis ex pectedthat
they will succeed in reducing several of
these records.
Lawson has been anxious to meet Donohoe
for several years. and while not in the best
shape after the bicycle race, he will make a
strong fight for the lead in every race.

1t is an interesting fact that one re-
port makes the probable nominee a chem
list of national reputation. This was the
particular field OF research Of James
SmthsOn, the founder of the institution
He left writings of considerable merit
in mneralogy and geology, but most of
his time was given to mineral chemistry,
aud in that field he has furnished the
most important contributions to learn
ing. lie paid particular attention to the
application OF chemistry to agriculture.
The worth of his researches s shown 10y
the fact that he is quoted as an authority
by Liebig.
Yet it has happeped that to this time
the head of the Smithsonian Institution
has never been a chemist. Prof. Henry
was a physicist. with electricity as a
speciality; DR.. Baird, Zoologist, and Prof
Langley, physicist. Furthermore, chem
istry has been given rather scant atten-
tion in the collections and Investigations
carried or 10y the aid of the funds from
his estate. This has occasioned more or
less comment among members of the var
iOuS chemical societies. The specific bequest
made by Mr.. HodgkinS few years ago
has stimulated inquiry in this field, so
that this complaint win not probably have
much foundation in the future.
Nevertheless there is a sentiment among
chemists that it would tie a fitting recog-
milton of the founders own bent II the
next secretary should be a chemist.
