CHASED BRITISH SHIP.
American Commander Discovered His

American Commander Discovered His
Mistake and ApoloGIzed.
The American gunboat Pampango
chased the British steamer Yuen-Sang
from Manila to Hong Kong. The gun
boat sighted the steamer during the
night about thirty miles off the north
coast of the Island of Luzon, and sus-
pected that she was a filibuster.
The Pampango fired three shots,
which the Yuen-Sang disregarded un-
til the third shell exploded near her.
She then stopped and the commander
Of the gunboat boarded the Yuen-Sang,
found he had made a mistake, and
apologized,

For the past few months the mem
bers of the Woman's club of Jersey
city have voluntarily devoted them
selves to overseeing the street sweep
ers and inducing them to perform their
work properly. So successful have
these women been in their self-appoint-
ed task that it is suggested that they
be officially engaged to superintend
this department of public works.
Undoubtedly there are many kinds of
municipal work which women could
do much better than men, and this is
one. Their generations of training
in housekeeping give them peculiar
skill in attend ny to the details OF
cleanliness. The oversight of streets,
library buildings, public baths, and
even the walks, drives and lawns OF
our parks is but housekeeping OH a
larger scale, for the city is simply our
larger home. Attention to its clean
liness, sanitation and beauty involves
the same order OF abilities as is re
CURED in keeping house in good or
der.

CONSPIRATORS ON TRIAL.
French Senate Organizes as a
Court to Try twenty-five
Prisoners.

AARNAA~A -
A Paris dispatch says: The French
senate met as a high court Of justice
Monday afternoon for the purpose Of
trying twenty-five politicians, inolud-
ing NM. Demonicourt, Deroulede,
Marcel-Habert, Thiebaud, Baron de
Yaux and Jules Guerin, on the charge
Of conspiring against the government.
The procurator general, NJ. Bernard,
read the long indictment. Not one of
the accused was present or in the
palace at the time, but nine cells were
fitted up for them in the library.
President Falieres opened the pro-
ceedings amid general silence by read
ing the decree of the president Of the
republic constituting the senate, on
the report of the minister Of justice,
into a high court TO try the charge
against the accused of making an at
tempt on the security of the state.
M. Fallieres then declared the SEN
ate constituted a high court and the
clerk Of the court called the roll Of
SENATOR'S, who answered with the word
present.
The indictment commenced by re-
citing the facts of the arrest OF NM.
DeRoulede and Marcel Habert, and
said the inquiry had shown the exist
ence of conspiracy to change the
form of government, to which the dis
orders of last February, it was added,
were due and in which NM. DeRou-
lede, Marcel-Habert and some mem
bers of the League of Patriots, M.
Guerin and some members of the Anti
Semitic league, NJ. DuBac, and some
members of the Society of Anti
Semitic Youth, NM. Buffet, Godefrey
and Shevilly, and members of the roy
alist party were inculpated.
The Indictment gave a few particu-
lars of the provincial organization.
Referring to the Provincial League, it
said it was worthy of attention because
the idea of monarchic restoration APP
peared inconceivable, it had played a
preponderant role in the recent events,
its leader being the duke Of Orleans
himself and its managers his accredited
representatives. All the leagues, it
was asserted, seek to change the form
of government by street risings.
The CULINARY point of the royalist
conspiracy was reached February Odd,
when M. De Roulede made his noto-
rious attempt on the Placede la Nation
to induce a brigade of infantry to
march on the Elysee palace. Every
thing, it seems, was prepared to carry
out the royalist plan that day, but NJ.
De Roulede's failure spoiled all, and
the duke of Orleans, who was awaiting
at Brussels the signal to come to Paris,
received instead a telegram from NJ.
Buffet saying:
"Useless to come. Send you fur
Their news tomorrow.

ANOTHER LARGE GATHERING.
Perfect Racing Weather and a Good
Card at the BenninG Track.

Perfect racing weather and a weil-flied

terially reduced the fields, but three start

Notes of the Game.

Arlie Latham was on the coaching lines
and was received with great favor, the
students keeping him busy replying to their
the game.
Mccarthy, Fleming, Moran and Hafford
make up a very strong intield, every one
of this quartet handling himself with a
cooIness that generally belongs to the pro-
feSSional.
Jake Gettman's catch of Hafford's long
1t was a tremendous drive and Jake just
managed to get one hand on it after long
run and Hafford was on second when the
ball was caught.
The Senators probably lost two or more
runs through overconfidence, Davis taking
big chances on his hit into left field and
being thrown out at second, while O. Brien' s
trying to steal second with the ball in
Bach's hand looked anything but brilliant
ball playing.
Perhaps the Georgetown boys are not
some pumpkins on the bases! When any
one of them reached first safely he would
shoot around on hit in a way that re-
years ago.
Pick out the list of Senators whom Pitch
er Bach sent to first on balls and 1t will be
quickly observed how crafty he was Far
rell, Hulen, O'Brien, Freeman, Padden and
Davis-not a weak sticker among them.
Bases on balls are all right If you know
how to play the game as did Bach.
Captain Mccarthy made a nice play when
he kicked on Gettman's glove after the lat
ter had captured Hafford's fly The glove
certainly looks big as a house from the
batter's plate, and when Jake showed the
glove under the ball 1t looked like a shovel.
Umpire Snyder declared the mitt all right
after an examination.

Local Team Takes Its Last Praetic.
Before the Season Opens


The Senators wers out at National Park
this morning at the usual hour practicing
batting and base running and will take no
more preliminary work until they open in
Philadelphia tomorrow afternoon The
Washin gtonians leave for Philadelphia this
evening and will arrive in that city in time
for a good nights rest. Manager Irwin
has intimated that Dunkle might be the
first pitcher trotted out by the Washington
club this season, but from the looks and
work of Billy Dinneen this morning that
promising youngster will more than likely
be the man.
Jimmy Slagie is still under the weather
and was not at the park this morning. 1t
will take him some time to beat off the
attack of malaria he contracted at Hamp-
ton, and he will probably be in the game
for the first time next Tuesday, whsn Phil

GREAT AMERICAN HANDICAP.
Wagner and Stubener Killed Al
Their Birds Yesterday.

The ninth annual Grand American Wing
Shot handicap was begun yesterday on tht
grounds of the Elkwood Gun Club, Ions
Branch, N. J. From the first shoot, in 1893
the list of entries has steadily grown, but
this year the numbers increased more than
% per cent, reaching what is admittedly
unwieldy proportions.
Though three sets of traps were in opera
ton for fully nine hours, and more thar
1900 birds were sprung, not all of the 26;
contestants were able to make four rounds
of the ground.
But the three rounds completed and Off
cially announced furnish a good wedding
out, and by the time each marksman had
shot at his ninth bird there We're but sixty
six who had straight scores to their credit;
ninety others had missed one and the bal
ance ranged down as low as six misses and
but three killed. AS in former years, a
large proportion of these will not face the
traps again, for in a shoot of this charac-
ter even a couple of lost birds is fatal to
sharing in any division of the money.
Five previous winners of the Great Amer
ican" are shooting again this year, but
only one of them, Thomas A. Marshall OF
Keithsburg. ILL.,, has q straight score. R.
A. WEIGH, winner in 1893, missed three and
has withdrawn, and Morley, Dickey and
Fulford are all in the missed one" divi-
sion. Among the sixty-six clean scores at
the end Of the ninth round are a large
number of western and southern men.
1t will be gratifying news to local sports
men to know that Uncle Billy Wagner at
2S yards, and Phil Stubener, at 27 yards,
were among the sixtysix who killed all
their birds and started in this morning TO
try hard to keep up their excellent records.
The weather was anything but inviting,
a damp southeast wind blew across from
No. ! ser of traps to the third set, and oc-
casional showers made the prospect any
thing but promising. For two hours or
more the light was battling, some of the
men averring that they had considerable
difficulty in seeing the dark birds.
At the end OF the first round of traps,
making three birds to each man, 101 had
missed one or more, r. A. Welch, one of the
steadiest guns Of the party, missing his
first and second. With the finish of the
second round the number of broken scores
had increased to 157. and at the finish Of
the official score another forty had added
to the list of missed birds.
These three rounds of the traps We're
completed at 4:3O o'clock-seven and half
hours of shooting, with more than 2 400
birds trapped, which is stated to be the
fastest work ever done in a big shoot
The conditions of the Grand American
handicap are as follows: Twenty-Five birds
$25 entrance: birds extra, not class shoot
ing; handicap rise. 80 yards boundary;
$1,000 guaranteed by the interstate associa-
ton; sterling silver trophy and $500 to
