FREEMAN TREATED HARsHLY.
Magnate Wagner Pays the Senator'S
Fine, First Fine He Has Ever Paid.

When Umpire Warner declared Slagle out
in the seventh inning Saturday, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, on forced play at
second every one of the twelve players on
the Washington bench jumped to his feet
and charged at the umpire af If they in
tended to sweep him from the earth From
the grand stand it looked as if Warner had
made bad decision. Slagle was on first
when O'Brien hunted for a sacrifice. The
ball bounded to Hahn, who turned and
threw to Corcoran, who had covered sec
ord. Sagle went in a slide and was ap-
parenuy safe. When Warner declared him
out the Washington players were very in
dignant. Buck Freeman was in an ugly
frame OF mind. He grabbed the umpire by
the lapel OF the coat and gave him couple
of rough jerks. .r,
Warner turned and called for a police
man. Freeman walked over to the bench
and sat down. Happy Sam Satin, the
chief of the park police, responded. Warner
ordered him to put Freeman off the
grounds. When Satin walked over to exc
cute the order Freeman became very abus-
i've, so Satin said. He did not take into
consideration the fact that the officer was
only doing his duty. I'm not leave the
grounds" angrily cried Freeman.
You will leave if [ have to carry you
out" said Satin.
Il suppose you came out here to hit me
over the head with cane" said Freeman.
No, sir; l have no cane, and / wouldn't
hit you if | had one" replied Satin
freeman took his own time about chang
ing his shoes and putting on his coat. Just
before ne went Satin claims that Freeman
said; I'm up against it. With your badge
and gun you've got a bunch on me. IL it
was anything like an even break I'd take a
chance and go to the floor with you"
.'I'il take you out where you will have an
even break" said Sam, land then we will
see how good a man you are"
The policeman escorted Freeman to the
trent gate. Jake Stencil also accompanied
them. Freeman must have cooled down,
for he said no more about fighting. He
and Stencil sat in Keenan's until the game
was over.
Earle Wagner OF the Washingtons said
later: II have no complaint to make about
the decision. i did not see it. But l do
complain of the mean way Warner acted.
1t was mis- privilege to make him go out of
the game, but to humiiiate Freeman by
having an officer take him out of the
grounds was going too far. 1 told Free
man this evening that / would pay his fine
of 81. 1t is the first bali players fine
ever paid 1 think Warner acted outrage
ousy.''

FAILED TO CATCH HER.
The French Fishing Vessel EIudes
Her British Pursuers.

The British special service vessel Column
bine and the colonial cruiser Fiona, which
left st. Johns last Tuesday under orders
to chase and seize the French fishing vessel
Nouvelle Ecosse. returned there yesterday,
having failed to catch or sight her.
1t is believed now that she has gone on
the Grand Banks and is engaged in fishing.
The colonial government will call upon
the French commodore today to pledge her
surrender on her return.
The Nouvelle Ecosse arrived at Cape
Broyle from the Grand Banks last Monday
in quest of herring bait. She was seized
by the customs officials for a violation of
the fishery laws. A revenue officer was put
in charge of her, but the crew attacked
him, got the ship to sea, threw him into a
boat and left the coast.
This vessel is said to be one of large
fleet of French fishing craft which have
been securing bait surreptitiously, and she
has repeatedly refused TO notice the warn
ings OF the colonial cruiser Fiona. Her
performances have greatly incensed the
people of Newfoundland, who intend 10
raise the whole question of enforcement of
the bait act recently revived by the British
government.

THE WOODCOCK SEASON.
Birds Are Plentiful in Several Sec
tions Near Washington.

lions Near Washington.
The anglers have been having monopoly
of sport for the past month, but the gun
ners are going to have their innings right
away. and the season for that peerless
game bird, the woodcock, opens tomorrow
in Maryland and Virginia.
1t was expected that the terrible blizzard
last winter had pretty well killed out the
woodcock, and in North Carolina and South
Carolina thousands of dead ones were
picked up.
In the vicinity of Washington, however
the birds appear from late reports. to be
comparatively plentiful; and this is espe-
eially true of the covers up the Potomac,
around Seneca and Pennyfield's and in the
neighborhood of Cabin John bridge. There
are only a few woodcock in the PatuXent
district. it is said, and still fewer in the
formerly well-populated coVertS near
Groom. Md.
There is very apt to be a flight at any
time now, however. that will supply the de-
ticiency in the sections named. An old
sportsman, experienced in such matters,
hunted some of the very best woodcock
ground in the Patuxent country for two
days, finding only three birds. This was the
first week in July. Two weeks later ne
day bagged sixteen, and lost many chances
because he had a fast dog, which ranged
too far ahead of him.
Reports from down-river points are ex-
cellent, and woodcock are numerous. it is
said, in the neighborhood OF Occoquan and
on the Maryland side below Marshall Hall.
Woodcock hunting requires slow, steady
and careful dog. good gun, of course,
with a man behind 1t who Is willing to work
like a hired man If he wants good sport
of dropping half a dozen birds will gladly
embrace any opportunity to do 1t again.

to 81, 155. 800, 235. which is a decrease, as
compared with June 80, 1893. of $13, 81. III.

responding increase in the cash on hand.

turity, s1.21S.300: debt bearing no interest
