Polo Players Defeated at Richmond.


The Richmond polo team defeated the In
dianapolis team at Richmond last night be-
fore 1900 people by score of 3 TO l in three
innings Chauncey Fisher played first rush
and did fine work, with Jap Clemens as a
running mate. The latter, following out the
system adopted by the pair. played cover
point and succeeded in putting the ball into
the Richmond netting on a pretty pass by
Fisher The fact that the Richmonds adj
mitted 10 be the strongest team west Of
New York, and in perfect practice, only
succeeded in scoring three goals against the
indianapolis team, which played its first
game last night indicates that this city is
represented by a strong set of players, and
when the Richmonds come here tor a game
next week it is expected that, if they are
not defeated, the argument will at least be
warm. The score of the game indicates
that the defense work OF Wilson at center,
Mack at half back and Allen in goal was Of
Il high order. The team will play its first
game at the Cyclorarna Rink Friday night
against "A picked team from this city.

TO ACCEPT THE REIsA MERCEDES.
Wreckers to Receive $4,000 for Rails
ing the Vessel.

Assistant Secretary Allen of the Navy De-
partment today instructed the commandment
of the navy yard, Norfolk, ito accept the
Spanish prize Rena Mercedes from the
Merritt and Chapman Wrecking Company
and to receipt for it in the name Of the
Secretary of the Navy. He was also in
structed to have an inventory at once made
of the armament, guns, tackle, apparel,
stores, material, appurtenances, fittings,
equipment and all other articles recovered
with her with a view to their delivery to
the government, in accordance with the
terms of the contract made with the COM
pany for the wrecking of the vessel and be
longings When this inventory is COM
pleted the government will take full pos
session of the vessel and equipment and
appoint a board of naval officers to ascer-
tain and report upon their condition and
requirements.
Under their contract with the Navy De
partment the Merritt and Chapman Com
pany will receive $4,000 from the govern
ment as payment in full Of all demands for
their services in raising the Mercedes from
its bed in the harbor of Santiago and de-
Hverng her and her belongings to the rep
resentatives of the government at the Nor
folk navy yard. No payment was to be
made in case Of failure of the wrecking
company to recover the vessel any of
its appurtenances. No action will be taken
regarding the disposition of the vessel until
her condition and needs are made known
as a result of the statutory examination.
TWO propositions are under consideration at
the Navy Department-one to put the yes
sci in thorough repair for use in the naval
service and the other to preserve her in
her original condition so faS practicable
as souvenir of the recent war.

CUBA'S SANITARY OUTLOOK.
DR.. O'Reflly Writes That 1t is Exceed
inGly Promising.

The report of General Brooke from Ha-
vana of no deaths from the 27th is a mat
ter of cOngratulatiOn for the army medi-
cal department. The sanitary outlook in
Cuba just now is exceedingly promising as
ceived here from the colonel. O'ReiIly,
chief medical officer in Cuba He states
that all of the hospitals projected for use
in the island have been completed except
that in Pinar del Rio, which is now well
under way. Havana, Santa Clara. Santi-
ago and MatanZas are all now supplied
with well-equipped hospitals and efficient
forces of medical offices. This season so
~ favorable to the health of the troops
There were two cases of yellow fever re-
ported in the hospitals. one a Spaniard IN
the yellow fever hospital. under care of
Major Quicker at Havana, and the other at
Los Angeles a civil institution This case
got into the hospital by mistake, but has
been effectively isolated, and no apprehen-
sion is felt on its account. 1t is, of course
expected that a certain amount of yellow
fever will develop in the island after the
rainy season sets in, but preparations have
been made in advance to handle ii as il de-
velops, and with very small unacclimated
population among 50 many Indians no fear
is entertained of an epidemic. 1t has been
arranged that wherever practicable all yell
low fever cases shall be turned over to
the regular yellow fever hospital at Ha
Vana-
The troops are now well housed in bar
racks that are clean and new or have been
thoroughly disinfected. They will all be
under cover when the rains commence. The
department is very well pleased that all of
the volunteer regiments have been gotten
out of the island before the beginning of
the sickly season

RAILROAD MORTGAGES.
Heavy stamps Required on Them and
Bonds They Secure.

Bonds They Secure.
The Burlington railroad is liable to have
to put a stamp of $40 500, under the new
revenue law, upon their new refundlng
mortgage The Baltimore and Ohio reorgan-
iZatien people are liable to a similar assess
ment.. The question involved has been re-
ferred by the commissioner of internal rev.
enue 10 the Attorney General and his
opinion is expected in few days 1t seems
that the war revenue law, as originally
passed, required that not only the mort
gage but the bonds issued under a mort
gage SheuN be stamped; but at the last
session Of Congress this was amended by
joint resolution providing that where
mortgage secures bonds, but one stamp
should be required on the two instruments,
but that that one should be placed upon the
Instrument which requires the higher rate
For the railroad this is very serious mat
ter, as their mortgages, most of which are
made to SECURE issues of bonds to be made
at some future time, are usually very large
and far ineexcess of the actual bond issue
For example, the Rock Island COMPANY has
recently issued mortgage which provides
for a possible issue of 500 600 600 of bonds;
the Northwestern road has similar mort
gage of $l6Sooe'ooo, while the new Buriing-
ton refunding mortgage on its Illinois prop
critics has a possible $S5 100000 Only
about SIG GOO GOO of bonds are actually to be
issued at present, and yet the government
is likely to require the stamp upon the
amount Of the mortgage in which case il
will be, as above stated, $40 500. The North
western mortgage was executed before the
stamp law went into effect. and SO they
have escaped, but other railroads will have
this tax to meet. What they are asking is
that the department shall rule that the
bonds shall be stamped as they are issued
from time to time. covering SO much of the
mortgage as Is actually made.
Railroad attorneys have been puzzling
somewhat over the question whether some
other method of financing might not avoid
this difficulty. The present is the con-
venient plan, however. as the mortgage is
usually issued TO cover a long line of con-
templated improvements and extensions,
while the bonds are given out only as those
improvements and extensions are actually
completed and the expense involved il
actually incurred

RaIefgh's Grounding Unavoidable

Admiral Remey, composing a court of in
Quiry appointed 10 investigate the circum-
stances of the recent grounding of the
cruiser Raleigh at the entrance of the har-
Dor of Charleston, S. c., has reported to
the Navy Department that the accident
was unavoidable and was due mainly to the
recent changes in the channel made by the
army engineers in operations for the I'M
provement of the harbor, with which
changes the navigating officers of the naval
vessel were not in position to be informed
until too late. The damage to the Raleigh
was trif1ing and can be easily repaired. In
asmuch as Admiral Remey found no one at
fault, it is not likely that any further ac-
ton will be taken by the department

No one who travels about the State

him when they elected him. Prob
ably not hundred men outside Of

reasons. But they are beginning tc

goes out to the old settlers and old

where the people want him to go
and his unaffected good-iellowship,
familiar, but by no means vulgar, '
his ready and fe)icitous speech, where

sincerity and honesty Of purpose,

Of deeply religious instincts, although
in this as in all other respects he is
thoroughly unostentatious;" also this;
"He detests all vulgarity and proian-
ity." The same things are true Of g
number Of others who have distin.
guished themselves in our army and

biasphemous sea-officer, so often met
in literature, is being pressed out Of

Christian civilization, and quiet, God.

plain that he who runs may read and
every teacher should keep it promi-
