NOT A WHITE MANS COUNTRY.
Representative Green Would Not
Live in the Philippines.

Looking like Pennsylvania coal miner
wearing Lord ehumley overcoat, a sky
blue silk shirt, black necktie. and a
soft hat, his face and hands covered with
the dust Of travel of six days, Representa-
tive H. D. Green of Pennsylvania blew
into the lobby of willard's Hotel last
night.
Mr.. Green has just returned from the
Orient. He was of the Congressional par
ty that visited the Philippines. China. and
Japan during the past five months. In
that time he Travelled thirty-three thou
sand miles. of which twenty-five thousand
was on water
Speaking of his trip last night, he said
he had a most enjoyable time and the in
formation he had acquired concerning our
new possessions more than repaid him.
When asked what he thought OF the Phil
ippines. he said:
IF the islands were given 10 me in fee
simple On condition that | should spend
the rest OF my days over there / would not
accept them. 1t is not a white mans
country. l could not live there. and my
life is no better than those of our brave
boys who are on the islands defending the
flag"
Just at this point Representative How
ard Mutchler of Pennsylvania came in and
warmly embraced Mr.. Green.
When | first saw you" said Mr.. Mutch-
Ter, Il thought you were Filipino. You
have taken on the complexion of the ma
tive"
Mr.. Green at once changed the subject
and requested Mr. Mutchler to tell him
all about the recent election in Pennsyl-

In this city Murphy found IL unsafe to
remain, and he disappeared the lay fol-

tage OF an opportunity TO pass worth

riage at Remington was scheduled Tor the
very day he departed from Washington,

turned by the bank unpaid, and complaint
was entered by Griffin. the endorser.

Murphy claimed to have q gold mine in
California. and the police believed for a

Mainly through her father the police were
able to track Murphy, and his arrest fol-

Many Kew Track Records.

That the track was fast is evidenced by
the hanging up of many new records. the
credit for which very justly belongs to
Superintendent James Lee. 1t is true Mr..
German had supervision of the track dur
ing the meeting. But when he took
charge the work had already been done
and he could not improve upon it.
The credit for the success of the meet
ing is mainly due to the efforts Of Presi-
dent s. S Howland. He has been untir
ing in his efforts to have everything as
complete as possible. He was ably as
sisted by Samuel S. Ross. In fact. every
member of the staff of the jockey club
worked in harmony, all doing their level
best, with one sole purpose in view-to
give the people of Washington as good
racing as it was possible to give them.
And this they did.

BENNING MEETING
A REMARKABLE ONE.
FAVORITES WIN FEW EVENTS.
Smallest Percentage Takes First
Money Ever Recorded on ANY
Track-A Success Despite
Had Weather.

The Bennlng fall meeting. which closed
on Saturday, was most successful. 1t
should be gratifying to the Washington
Jockey Club to be able TO show balance
on the right side of the ledger under con-
ditions not at all favorable for racing.
Unpropitious Weather Conditions.
The weather was against them all
through There was not one pleasant day
during the meeting, except the closing
one. But notwithstanding, the average
attendance was unusually good.
The meeting itself will go down in turf
history as a most remarkable one-re-
markable in the smallest percentage Of
winning favorites ever known at any
track The causes which led up to the
downfall of the favorites are many, and
the fall meeting of 1901 will be an object
lesson to form students for some time
to come.

Absence of Form.

1t is not that there were startling re-
versals of form in many of the races.
Such is not the case, There was no form
at all. Bad horses and bad jockeys made
it impossible for form to be lived up to.
add to this large fields, in which the best
horse gets shut OFF without possible
chance of getting through bad bunch in
front of him.
There were other factors. too. that up
set form calculations. Several stables
we're here from the Canadian and West
ern tracks on which the bOokmakers and
the talent generally had no line. These
horses had a long let-up and were fresh
and good When they met some OF the
Eastern campaigners who had been run
ming continuously during the whole sea-
son they had no difficulty in taking their
measure.

Clean Racing Throughout.
These are but few instances OF many,
but suficien. to demonstrate what are
simply facts-that the racing at Benning
was clean and consistent throughout, and
that the best horses won in nine cases out
OF ten.
The opinion OF spectators should not
count for much as their Judgment is apt
to be biased by interest. Ii their Sc
lections win, the races are run all right;
if they lose, these men are the first to
cry fraud.
But it is the consensus of opinion. from
al; fair minded men, winners and losers
alike. that the racing at Benning was sin
gularly free from inconsistency and scan
dal of any kind whatsoever.
The Starting Excellent.
The starting was excellent all through.
and this statement is backed up by men
who have not always been friendly to
Starter Cassidy. They were obliged to
confess that the starting was the best
they ever saw, and If any fault was to be
found it was not with the starter, but
with the machine.
When it is considered what a lot of
bad jockeys he had to handle, Cassidy
certainly deserves great credit for his
work One thing the patrons appreciated
was his endeavo- to get OF fields with
out vexatious delays, as it was any
thing but pleasant waiting during the re-
cent cold weather

Take another instance-the first race
that Red Damsel won, beating the favor

Red Damsel being good to make her the

beat this kind when they met. and better
ones. too The bookmakers laid and

that the price against n horse cuts no

horse won.

second day Of the meeting, won by Ara
toma, with 20 to l against him. This
horse had not started since the meeting
at Brighton Beach. in July. and then he
was III front, for five and one-half fur
longs. of better horses than he met at
Benning. If the bookmakers thought so
little of his chances as to lay 20 to l, it
had nothing to do with the running Of
the horse, as he was far the best in the
race. and would have won regardless of
the size of the odds.
Then take the race of Pigeon Post when
he won at 40 to l, beating the favorite,
Lady of the Valley. There was no rever-
sal of form 10 this, as Lady of the Valley,
with 1876 pounds on her back, was a false

CHICAGO, Aug. 1f.-There will be no
strike by members of the Amalgamated
Association at the Illinois Steel Works,
in South Chicago.
At a joint meeting Of the local lodges
this afternoon, presided over by a repre-
sentative of Vice President Davis, Of the
fourth district, it was decided by an al
most unanimous vote to remain at
work, and IL necessary to give financial
support to their striking brethren in
other mills.
In a statement to the public dein-
ing their position in the struggle be-
tween the association and the United
States Steel Company, the men claim
that in justice to themselves and to
the Illinois Steel Company, they are
compelled to disregard the order OF
President Shaffer, as they have no griev-
ances and have contracts signed that
will not expire for another year.
Vice President Davis was present at
the meeting. but took 70 active part in
the proceedings, and left the hall a
few minutes before the deciding vote
was taken.

LARGE ACCESSIONS

Made to the ADtaIga mated Lodge mt
Nckeesport Yesterday.
McKEESPORT, Pa, August 1.-THE
only startling development OF the day
was the thickening of rumors and in
dications of starting of the Demniler
plant of the American Tin Plate Com
pany.
d. M. Pitcock, night superintendent
of the plant, who had just started on
a two weeks vacation, was ordered
back from Winchester, Va.
Work is being pushed on high board
fences around the plant, with eight
strands of barbed wire on the top.
Watchmen boxes are at frequent inter-
walls. Steam is being kept up in the
boilers. The men are suspicious, and
keep a clear guard for strike break
erS.
Meetings of different Amalgamated
lodges were held this afternoon, but
nothing was given ott, except that the
total membership was increased by ESQ
during the day.
The knobblers at the National Roll
ing mills me and perfected an organ
ization. $50 members took the obliga-
ton.
The rolling mill men fear the Ma
tional Tube Company will order them
to report for work at 3 o'clock Monday
morning. Few. if any will, join.
1t is safe to predict the practical
closing of the tube works, because the
rolling mills will not run. The finish
ing part of the plant may run three or
four days or until material already
rolled is used up. 1t was a very quiet
Sunday.

Hospital Service has made a report of
an investigation in July last of several
alleged smallpox cases., near Martins
burg. There were thirteen in all then
in quarantine. all colored. The disease
was diagnosed as variola in discrete

the local health officers in guarding
against the extension of the diseases
to the outside public was prompt and
efficient.

cline in smallpox cases in West Vir-
ginia, but eleven being reported for the

BOSTON, August 1.-The police
have under arrest for the Chicago Of
ficers two alleged expert badger work.
ers," and the evidence accumulated
since yesterday, together with the con-
fession the woman is said to have made,
makes it appear that the prisoners are
more than ordinarily adroit In crime.
The woman is Nellie Pentony, with
aliases Nellie Watson, May Dunn and
Blonde" Nellie, and her partner is
John Pentony, alias John Warner. alias
John Barr. Upon being searched at
police headquarters, the woman's tiny
pocketbook concealed in her dress,
yielded seven diamond rings and a dia-
mond studded locket and pawn tickets
for diamonds pawned in New York
City, Buffalo, Chicago and Cleveland.
On searching the room where the trou-
BILE had occurred, jewelry and other ar
ticles were found. The arrest OF the
couple came about by accident, the wo-
man being taken a few nights ago for
night walking. She was fined in court
and was sent to Deer Island in default
of bail. Her husband secured cash bail
and yesterday got her release. coming
to the city from the island with her.
After the woman's arrest. Chief ln-
spector Watts was notified from Chica-
go that two badger workers and dia-
mond "snatchers" had come east and
were thought to be in Boston. The de-
scription furnished seemed to fit the
woman, but the officers were not certain
about the man. When Pentony and the
woman stepped off the Deer Island
boat, yesterday afternoon, they were
escorted to police headquarters and
were given an opportunity to tell their
history. The story both told was a
smooth one, but when the woman was
confronted with the Bertillion meas
urements and pictures taken Of her in
St. Louis, May 20, 1897, when arrested
for larceny, she admitted that her part
of the story was wrong. The couple
were accordingly locked up for a hear
ing. The police say that four pawn
tickets obtained in Boston were for jew
elry pledged for $3.50. Fifteen tickets
for jewelry in other places were for dia-
mond rings and lockets.
In the DON of the couple were two
satchels. In the mans satchel were ar
ticles and pawn tickets for jewelry
stolen from houses in this vicinity and
a gold watch picked from a mans pock-
ct in Lynn.
Pentony admitted having been ar
rested at different times in New York
and Chicago, and at the former place,
an indictment is held against him.
