ROUNDING OF U. s. SOLDIERS.
Indignation Agasusts Germans and French for Wearing side Arms or Duty.

 French for Wearing side firms or Duty.
 Pekin, Sept. 1.-The severe wounds inflicted upon two Americans by French soldiers has created general indigna- ton against the policy Of the German and French commanders in ordering their soldiers to carry side arms while off duty. After the Gernan-Austrian affray last May all of the foreign conl- manders agreed to prohibit the carry ing of side arms while the men were outside of their posts. This agreement, however, was cancelled by the German commander and the soldiers of the kaiser were again to wear side arms and the example was followed by the French. All the other foreign soldiers travel about unarmed. Witnesses of the affair yesterday declare that the French were clearly the aggressors. The French commander treats hte mat ter lightly, but 8 strong request for the punishment of the guilty persons has been made by Captain Andrew Brewster, military attache of the American legation. 5-5.

Naples, Sept. 1.-The eruption of Ve- suvius, although it still continues, has moderated to a certain extent. The new crater presents a wonderful sight. It is very deep, with very steep sides which arouses the fear that another crumbling may occur.
 The mouth of the crater from side to side measures over 425 feet and is about $50 feet deep. The lava in the direction Of the east and northeast continues in a thin liquid form and it now covers an area of S50,000 square feet.

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.

Providence. R |. seSte. 1.-The
 worlds trotting record for geldings
 was to-day lowered by the bay gelding
 Major Delmar, to 2;o2 1-2 in . trial ex-5
 hibition against his own record Of 2:o4.
 and the fourth day of the GFani Circuit
 meeting here was further made rnelnor-
 able by Dan R, who paced the first heat
 for the free for all in POI 3-4.
 Dan F. went to the quarter in % IA seconds, the half in 1:o1 IA and at the
 three-q quarters post his time was
 1:ao i-2. The heat from the start to.
 this point was magnificent struggle
 for supremacy with Dariel At the first
 turn Mcdonald successfully captured the
 pole position from Dan, R., and for the
 next half mile both horses travelled as q team. Then within two hundred yards
 of the wire Dan R scarcely led by a
 nose, but by a supreme effort at the last
 moment increased that distance to half
 length. When the time was announce
 ed both horse and rdive were cheerei
 repeatedly. The most sensational work
 of the day was done in the second heat.
 Prince Alert, the favorite who finished
 fourth in the first heat because of a5
 poor start, rushed into first position at
 the htree-quarters pole, on a break by Dan R. Harold H., followed by DarieI in g fine bust of speed, headed the lead-
 CT and although they finished in that order, all three came under the wire SO closely together that their relative posi- tions were in doubt. until the decision had been announced. B. The third heat found Prince Alert d strong leader and he won easily in 2:03 1-2. the slowest time made dnriilg the race.
 Major Delmar. between two runners, started out to beat his own record of 2:04. He went to a, break on the first trial, but his second attempt found him steady and he forced the runners time after to increase their speed. He went to she quarter in 30 1-4 ]: to the half in 59 3-4. and he reached the three quar- ters pole in 1:s0 1-2, finishing strong in 2:02 1-2 He was cheered again and again when the announcement was made. The favorite. Kamares, won the PEA trot, in which were five starters, by capturing the first, third and fourth heats. 4 The 2:16 pace, after having gone five heats which were divided up among four of the eight starters, was post poned until to-n1orrow. Centerfic got the first and third heats. Merry Master the second, Annie M. the fourth and Lord Gentry the fifth

The Queen is remarkable old wo-

received from her infamous old mother.

The keen interest which the Kaiser

by the fact that aside from the ordinary

this side of the Atlantic he has caused %

corning his recent utterances about the

suddenly. and this adds at least FIVE
years to his appearance. Indeed, his
hair has only commenced 10 change It's

that he should take a complete rest,
convinced that IL is impossible for him

other interests OF the Territory. may be

admitted. as he is one Of the most pop

When Congress adjourned last July
it looked as If Statehood was assured
beyond doubt. as Senator Quay had sue
ceeded in having a date fixed for taking
up the omnibus bill and making it the
unfinished business in the following De-
cember. The friends OF the bill knew
that they had a majority in the Senate.
and there was every reason to believe
that with Senator Quay forcing the
fight. the measure would become a law
before the close Of the session. It's
failure, however. means that they will

eighth Congress.
There is little doubt but that an
other omnibus bill could again be pass

majority is but twenty-six, and as the
Democrats will vote solidly for il.
enough Republican votes can be OBJ
tanned to make its passage certain. The
only difficulty lies in the appointment

Will long be remembered, therefore,
as "A milestone in the greater city's
history
But besides providing for the cree
ton Of the Massachusetts Avenue
terminal, Congress voted a new home
for the Department of Agriculture,
an annex Office building for the
House of Representatives. and an ad-
dltlon to the National Museum. On
these three structures over $4,000. 900
Is to be expended out Of the National
Treasury, and all Of them are sure
to ut appropriately into the Park

The Government has also pledged
itself TO make an addition to the
Bureau Of Engraving plant, TO en-
large the Hospital for the Insane,
and to carry through the War De
partment's project for the creation
OF a great War College on the
grounds of the old Washington Bar
racks, Jointly with the District gov
eminent, II has contracted TO spend
S2.000,000 on the new municipal
building, and over 100000 on hos
pltal betterments and engagements.
AT the session just ended, Congress
also enacted long-needed legislation
enabling the District to draw on the
Federal Treasury for urgent munich
pal improvements OF a permanent
character.
Altogether, few sessions have con
tributed so freely to local advance
ment. Bcnighted observers else
where may pretend to lament the
wasted labors of Congress. But
