 ton of Vessels Engines and Boilers
 and to Report at Once to the Govern
 ment.
 Washington, Sept. 12-The expected protest of Japan against allowing the Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena. which arrived at San Francisco yesterday, to remain longer than twenty-four hours, came to-day when the Japanese con- sul in that city made a formal demand that the vessel be required to leave at the end of that time.
 The collector of customs telegrams officially notifying the authorities of the arrival of the Lena, and of Japan's pro- test, was addressed to the secretary of the treasury. who at once sent copies to Acting Secretary of State Adee and Acting Secretary Murray of the depart- ment of labor, who has direct jurisdie- ton in the matter
 The telegram reads as follows: "Jap- anese consul has made demand upon me that Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena, arriving at this port eleventh instant, leave within twenty-four hours The captain reports that he has entered for repairs of engines and boilers to make pally the latter. am requesting the inspector of hulls and boilers to make an examination of the vessels machin- cry with the consent Of the Russian consul and the commander of the Lena. Can find no authority in the law or regulations for the collector assuming lany authority in the premises, and re- quest instructions.
 After conference with the commits sioner of navigation, Acting Secretary Murray sent the following dispatch to l the collector:
 Wire this deDartment exact hour of steamers arrival at your port and con- else resume of steamboat inspectors report, and if repairs are necessary the probable time required to meet them. On receipt of particulars the depart ment will instruct you further. See circular 29, end of page 2, and all of page B."
 The circular referred to was issued on February 13 of the present year, im- illeutdlSly dILer the 4IlOStlllIleS between Russian and Japan commenced, and besides containing the presidents pro- clamation and the provisions of the statutes relating to neutrality, gave in- Istructions to collectors that should any case arise requiring official action, you will communicate the facts to the department by telegraph.'
 The collectors telegram came after office hours, and the officials were some- what puzzled that there should have been So much delay in sending it. There was q good deal os reticence on the subject on the part of the officials of the. department os commerce and la Dor and of the bureau of navigation, who preferred to await the report of the steamboat inspector before making any statement. This report 1t is ex- pected, will be received some time dur ling the night so that the Lena will have been in port over twenty-four hours before the question of her right | to lie up for repairs is determined.

CONNECTICUT MEN PRAISED
General Chafree Mentions Their Fine
 Appearance on the Field.


 Appearance on the Field.
 Washington, Sept - Lieutenant General chaffee, chief of staff, was keenly interested in he grand review 5of the regular troops and national guardsmen engaged in the maneuyres on Manassas battlefield. He will later receive the reports of observers and um- pires.
 As the reviewing officer on Saturday General Chaffee had an excellent op- portunity to note the appearance of the men and to-day he said:
 The review was highly creditable from every point of view. The organ ized militia made fine appearance Of course their ranks were somewhat thin ned because many of the men were footsore as the result os their hard weeks work. would not undertake to discriminate where all os the men did so well. But through the fact that the Connecticut commands were massed in one compact body they made an ex- cellent appearance on the field. New York did we'll also, though laboring un- der the disadvantage of having it's force divided between Generals Grants and Bells commands.
 .As to the regulars (and here a look of pride swept over the generals face) well, never saw any better soldiers. They marched along with an erect car riage and springy, swinging step that spoke volumes for their endurance after what they had gone through. I was proud if them."

TITO FAVoRITES AND AN oUT-

PeeIer Patron Captures the 2.10 Pace
 After Losing the First Heat-HaIf
 Hour of Tedious Scoring Before
 Horses Are Sent Away in the 2sO6
 Pace-Ecstatic Wins the Event.
 Readville, Mass, Sept. F. Two fav- orites and an outsider won the events lat the opening. of the fall meeting at Readville track to-day.
 The track was slow, because of a heavy morning rain. and the first race was not started until late in thee after noon.
 The 2:10 pace was the feature, for af- ter Ben F, the favoritee, had taken the first heat handily, Peeler Patron came up in the second and won by head. The next two were easy for Peeler Patron.
 There vas half an hour of tedious scoring before the horses were sent away on the first heat of the 2:O6 pace. Ecstatic, the unbeaten mare of the sea- son, was a slight favorite over Red Bird, but the delay at the post caused both to break in the stretch. Red Bird was distanced but Ecstatic was placed. In the next two heats the Yonkers mare had no trouble, and in the last, on heavy track. made the quarter in 80 S-4, half in 1:01 1-2, three quarters in 1:32, and the mile in #2:06 IA.
 John Caldwell had no difficulty in winninf the 2.25 trot.
 It was announced that on Wednesday the noted trotting gelding Major Dell mar, would go to beat the worlds rec ord, without 8 paeemaker.
 If he succeeds he will then, on Fri- day. trot against the worlds record to high wheel sulky.
