GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

\
that started liz the Futurity on Satur-
day, would be one of the most interest
ing turf events OF the year. Many horse
men there are who do not believe that
| the race was run true to form, and it
| is reasonable to assume that half a
dozen or more of the starters in the Fu-
turity would make much better show
| ing in a smaller field than they did in
the race on Saturday. If Aceful is so
good that John e. Madden jumped at
the challenge of Mr. Drake, surely
not better Indeed. more than half a
| dozen OF them have shown better form
than Aceful has. On all past form
Hurstbourne. Irish Lad, Golden Maxim.
Mizzen, Whitechapel. and Skilful are
| better horses than the Madden Whitney
Mirthful colt. Such race as is pro
posed, therefore. would furnish con-
test that would promise truly run
race. all of the six or eight contestants
or less having an equal chance. which
they did not have in the Futurity. l..
is all well enough to talk about race
with twenty-four starters being truly
run race, but when it comes right down
10 facts there are not more than fou:
the first flight that have real good
chance to win.

There was much opposition to UllTan

in favor As result, however. several

DOES NOT DOUBT IT.
Commissioner Believes District Will
Share in Rhodes Scholarships.

Mr.. Henry B. F. Macfarland, president of
the board of District Commissioners. in re-
sponse to a query yesterday as to whether
the District of Columbia will have two Of
the oxford scholarships under the terms
of the will Of the late Cecil Rhodes at
81 500 per annum each for two pupils from
each state and territory in the United
States, said he had no doubt that the Dis
trict was included under the provisions of
the will. and that he believed it would be
given the two scholarships. In the case of
De Geofroy against Riggs in the Supreme
Court of the United States, it was held by
that body that the term "state" in
treaty applies to and includes the District
of Columbia. In other decisions of the
same court it has been held that If it is
not to be considered a state, 1t is to be
considered a territory
Commissioner Macfarland understands
that the arrangements for the scholarships
in the United States will be made by a
committee of eminent, Americans. to be ap-
pointed by the trustees under the will, and
the Commissioner has no doubt but that the
committee will see that Che District of Co.
lumbia receives the scholarships to which it
is entitled. He will bring the matter to the
attention of the committee as soon as it
is appointed. ~ nj 5or - ;s

CREED REVISION.
Work of Committee of the Presbyte
rian General Assembly.

The creed revision committee of the Pres
byterian Church has completed the discus
sion of the third article of the new state
ment relating to the ''Divine Purpose and
Is considering the question of Grace. Con-
siderable discussion was indulged in as to
whether any Recommendations should be
made to the general assembly regarding
the form the statement of doctrine
should take, whether it should be
incorporated into the church constitution
or otherwise, but the matter finally was
left to the assembly to settle.
Owing to the fact that any section of the
creed may be reconsidered upon a two
thirds vote of the committee, the text or
purport of the various sections will not be
announced publicly until the entire work
OF the revision is concluded.
AS result of the discussion over
lures will be submitted to the general
assembly, which meets in New York in May,
for action on the declaratory statement
with reference to the third and tenth chap
ters of the confession. These relate to pre-
destination and election of infants. The
object is to remove misunderstanding on
these points by declaring that the confess
sion is not to be understood as teaching
that any children who die in infancy are
lost: also that the confession Is not to be
understood as teaching that the provisions
OF the gospel and the offer made by 1t is
to be limited to certain number-that
Chrlst died for all men; nor is it to be un-
derstood as In any way interfering with
human liberty and with the freedom of
men.
An overture will be sent to the general
assembly dropping from the text of the
confession the statement relating to the
pope of Rome, and that 1t Is a sin in an
other to refuse an oath when administered
by rightful authority.
The committee has completed the articles
on "the grace Of God" which is to form a
part of the brief statement of doctrine to
be prepared for the action of the general
assembly. Seven of the articles of this
statement have been completed-those re-
lating to God. the divine purpose, the crea-
ton, The revelation. election, sin and the
grace of God-leaving about ten TO be pre-

LOW RATES ASSURED.
One Cent a Mile to Those Attending G.
A. r. Encampment.

Chairman S. B. Hege of the committee
on transportation to Washington during the
encampment of the Grand Army of the Re
public has been informed by representatives
of several passenger traffic associa tionS
that the generous rates promised the ma
tional executive committee of the Grand
Army, when the invitation to meet in
Washington was extended, would be fully
met by the several railroads. Today he
was given telegram Signifying that the
Central Traffic Association, which embraces
all the territory from the Ohio river to
the Missouri river. had taken such action
and that a general rate of less than q cent
mile had been accepted. The action of
the Western and Southwestern associations
to the same end is only a matter of time.
The encampment will thus have the I'd
vantage of the most desirable advertising
by the railroads of the entire country, and
the most generous rates of transportation
which could be reasonably expected.
Mrs. Emma WALL national president of
the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, was in conference this morning
with Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, chairman
of the Woman's auxiliary committee. With
Mrs. B. S. Hawkes., Mrs. Wall and Mrs.
Mussey completed arrangements for a
meeting of the ladies of the Grand Army
and the members of Mrs. Mussey's COM
mittee in the red parlor of the Ebbitt

A meeting of the committee on the con-
Ventfon OF the National Army Nurses AS

Col o. G. Staples, chairman of the COM
mittee on parks and reservations, has sub
mitted for the use of the executive COM
mittee a plot of all parks and reserva-
tions In the District of Columbia with the
proposed structures for the encampment
suggested by light lines. Colonel Staples
experience in a similar capacity ten years
ago has proven of great value to the execu-
tive committee He and his associates have
taken up the work Of the committee on
parks and reservations with vigor and ex-
pect to have it well out of the way q long
time before the encampment begins.
Writing for the Grand Army post at New
man, H., John T. Eagler has applied for
quarters for twenty-three men during the
period of the encampment. The appica-
tion has been referred to Chairman NJ. L.
Weller of the committee on public COM
fort.
A special subcommittee of the commit
tee on camp fires will meet at headquarters
Saturday evening at o'clock. This meet
ing has been heretofore erroneously an

PRIVATE RICHTER's DEATH.
The Particulars as Given by Member
of His Company.

The following letter written by private
George Hoovey 2Sth. Infantry. who enlist
ed from Quincy. ILL.,, and is now in the
Philippines, alleges to give facts regarding
the death of Privateq Edward c. Richter of
the same company. Representative Mickey
of Illinois, through whom the letter is made
public. says there is no doubt of its authen-
ticity. ! SG8
In part the letter reads:
81 have been in Manila and in court over
the death of my most beloved comrade. Ed
ward c. Richter. aged Twenty-Five whom
We killed on the night of February 8.
Il was on guard When sRichter started to
get drunk, and was released from duty at
o'clock. After taps he began calling Lieut..
Sinclair vile names Thesleutenant ordered
us to put him the ground in front of
the guard house and tie his hands behind
him. iys yIiy-f -.-s.as
Il was then ordered Ito throw one dipper-
full of ice Water-it WAS, cold we could
hardly drink it-in Ehis face every time he
would say anything. zGI often, in obeying
the lieutenants orders, threw a dipperful
of this water in his face, but he was under
the influence of liquor and would not keep
still. ai
"Then Sinclair ordered us to put a gag in
the bound mans mouth and to tie his feet
together He struggled a good deal, but of
course was helpless. tied hand and foot and
gagged. While he lay on the ground thus
We were ordered to throw more water on
his face. '..
about quarter after II he quit strug-
Cling and lay perfectly still. Then We were
ordered to take him to the guard house,
and half hour later the discovery was
made that he was dead. We took the
body to the hospital and week ago Sun
day afternoon we buried him.
There wasn't anything more said about
the case until last Thursday afternoon,
when the inspector general of the southern
Luzon Island arrived for the purpose of
investigating the stories that had become
current as to the real causes of the pri-
Yates death. He took the testimony of the
sentries and then ordered us to Manila to
appear before the general court there. We
repeated our testimony in the presence of
Gen. Chaffee.'
Private Hoovey concluded his letter with
a criticism of Lieut.. Sinclair on account of
the alleged harsh treatment of the men in
his command
The articles of war provide that no one
in the military service can be tried a sec
ond time for the same offense. Lieut. Sim
clair, according to Gen. Chaffee's report,
has been tried and acquitted on charges
connected with the death of Private Rich
ter.

City Solicitor Aprroxss Recommend.
lions Of Chat Of police.

A. B. Duvail. the city solicitor, has noti-
fed the District Conf1nissioners Of his ap-
proval Of several amendments suggested by
Maj. Sylvester, chief OF police, to the pro-
visions Of the coderdn regard to the pro-
lection Of fish. The amendments are pro-
posed for sections S9f and 9O3 Of subchap-
ter Z. These sectiops, as they appear in
the code, are a reproduction of the pro-
visions of the act of-Cungress "for the pro-
lection of fish in tbs. District of Columbia,
etc." approved May II, 1898
by its act" states the CITY solicitor
approved March 3. 1854, Congress amend
ed the act Of May f7,t1Si,S and the present
proposition Is to amend the code SO as to
make it conform with, the law as it existed
at the date of the passage of the code 1
am inclined to think that the amendments
of March 3, 1901, were overlooked in the
compilation of the code, and know of no
reason why these amendments should not
have been carried into the code /, there
fore, agree with the major of police that
the. code should be amended as suggested
by him" -- : 49,, -'l--.-- E.
Major -Sylvester's Recommendations were
that section 903 of subchapter of the
code be amended as follows:
THAT all nets boats or other contriv-
ances, the property of any person or per-
sons convicted under the provisions OF
this act shall be confiscated: to the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and the same shall be
sold at public auction to the highest bid
uCi, py IuS pkopCtGS iSltTh OI SalQ blStFlCC
and the proceeds therefrom be deposited
with the collector of taxes, as are other
District revenues ,'-.-7
And that section s97 of subchapter I be
amended to read as follows: =
THAT no person shall catch or kill in
the waters of the Potomac river or its trib-
utaries within the District of Columbia
any black bass otherwise known as green
bass and chub), crappie otherwise known
as calico bass and strawberry bass, be-
tween the 1st day of April and the 29th
day of May of each year, nor have in pos
session or expose for sale any of said
species Of fish at any other time during
the year except by angling, nor catch nor
Kill any of the aforesaid species by what
are known outlines or trotlines, hav-
ing succession of hooks or devices
Major Sylvester said further in his COM
munication on the subject:
so far as the season for fishing Is con-
cerned, the 29th of May was inserted as an
amendment some time ago and became law,
the idea being to give to the working peo-
pie an opportunity to fish for bass in the
Potomac river on Decoration day, the Both
of May, but when the code was published
without previous notice being given this
department.. and presume not to the Com
missoiners, 1t was found that the law had
been changed and the above two sections
stricken therefrom. 1t Is desirable, in the
interests Of the laboring people, who have
but little opportunity for recreation, that
the latter amendment especially be secured
and the Fish and Game Association and
others interested would like to have the
amendments restored"
