From Washington.
correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
Washington, Aug. 30.

Washington, Aug. 30.
The text of President Rooseyelps
telsgrsphic appeal to the. presidents Of
the five Central American Republics,
in the interest of peace and good will
among them, was made public at the
State Department today. 1t is stated
that the message was prepared for COLI
sultstiou with President Disz, and that
it aims toward full concurrence with
the efforts of the Mexican Executive
to exert cordial and impartial influence
in order to bring the Central American
States together in friendly conference
with a view to adjusting on a sound
basis whatever differences may be found
to exist among them. Replies have
been received, in most favorable terms,
from the Presidents of Costa Riea,
Nicaragua and Salvador, but have not
yet been made public.
The information which the President
says he had received indicating the i'm
inence of disturbance of the peace oil
Central America is understood to have
been the announcement that Nicaragua
was preparing to send an expedition
against Salvador and that war might be
expected in four days. 1t was this that
caused the President to act and it was
the fear that his motives might be mis-
construed that caused him to enlist the
cooperation Of the President of Mexico.
Notification today reached the Navy
Department of the death at his late
residence, $50 West End avenue, New
York city, OF Rear Admiral W. A.
Windsor, retired. The interment will
take place at Arlington next Sunday or

pointed 10 the service from Maryland.
He wss 81 years old at the time Of his
death.

ALLEGED Foul Blow.

San Francisco, Aug. SO.-The adj
mirers of Mike Scbreck, the Chicago
fighter who quit in the seventh round of
his fight with Al Kaufman, the Cali
fornia giant, last night, are today claim
ing that the bloW which made their
choice give up was a deliberate fould
and that the fight should have been
awarded to their man. With his victory
last night, Kaufman looms up as new
aspirant for the heavy weight champion
ship, and steps are already begun to
match him with Tommy Burns, the
recognized champion, owing to Jefries'
refusal to defend the title.

Another strike Anticipated.

New York, Aug. 3O.-Representa-
tiyes of the American Steamship Com
panies owning ocean going vessels sail
ing from this port, refuse today to dis
cuss the demands they expect to be made
on them within the next few hours by
the marine engineers. What the en-
giueers want is a new scale of wages
adopted by the Atlantic coast conference
of the marine engineers beneficial ssso-
citation held in Philadelphia July l9, to
take effect October l. The scale has
been approved by the National President
and advisory board of the association,
and the engineers say that unless the
owners comply with their demands, there
will be a steamship tie up, as soon as
the old agreement expires. The engi-
neers say that skilled labor in every line
but their own has been granted many
wage advances within the past seven
years, and that they propose to profit by
the increase They ask at present about
ten per cent. Complaint is also made
that the men are underfed and that their
hours are unreasouably long.

Athletics.

jamestown Exposition, Va, Aug. 80.
AS the time approaches for the hold
ing of the national athletic champion
ship contests at the Exposition Grounds
September 6 and 7, it is evident that the
meet is to be a test of might between the
flower of manhood in the East and in
West, with tie Canadian athletes as dark
horses, likely to romp away with some
of the prizes Eastern men are claiming
that there will be nothing but the two
New York clubs, the Irish-Americsn
Athletic Club, and the New York Ath-
letic Club, in the money, but the West
ern contingent is sticking its faith in the
Olympia Club, of California, the Multuo-
nah Athletic Club, CT Oregon, aud the
athletes from the University Of Oregon.
Tine Montreal Athletic Club is sending
down some promising contestants and so
are Chicago and other sections.

GERMAN courts appear to take no
chances in dealing with applications to
presume the death of persons who have
disappeared. The principal Vienna pa
pers publish a long official advertise
ment from the court at Oberndorf,
calling upon one Fidelis Rohr, born
on April "a, l77O, to sppesr before the
said court some time before March u,
1908, otherwise he will be declared dead
As Herr Fidelis Rohr would now be 1877
years old we're he alive, it is hardly
likely that the court will have the pleas
nre of seeing him.

New York stock Market.

New York, Aug. 3O.-There was a
good deal of hesitation about the trading
in stocks in the early part of the first
hour. Morning newspaper stories in re-
lslion in the marlborough Metropolitan
arrangements curtailed operations, and
anticipation of the three days holiday re
duced the number of brokers on the
floor. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was the
most prominent feature of the hours bust
ness moving up from 49s to 40. Where
there were vas any business worth not
ing advances were made and the tone Of
the market at the end Of the hour was
strong.

MAILSa

Upon a warrant sworn out by Post
Office Inspector Smith, OF Alexandria,
Walter s. Buchanan, of Louisa county,
has been placed under arrest for the
second time, charged with using the
United States mail for fraudulent pur-
poses. Buchanan is said 10 be a sample
merchant artist, 10 the extent that he
has been in the habit of working
wholesale people all over the country
with mail orders, and then selling
the samples. Buchanan was crowd
ed so hard some time ago by
Louisa merchants that be is said to
have taken opt a retail merchant 8
license, and under this he sold his sam
Piles. He was arrested on : similar
charge some time ago, but for some
reason his case has never been called.
While out on bail Buchanan was again
arrested, and is now in the Richmond
Jail awaiting his preliminary trial before

there is a bare prospect of victory; but
that there shall be no "lOst motion" IN

Nearly 5000 persons ct the Barn
stable county, Mass, fair saw "Pro-
lessor" Maloney, balloonist, drop 1000
feet to earth, strike on the top Of cedar
fence post and escape probably with his
life. Maloney made his ascent late

saw that his attempts to cut his para
chute were fruitless. a sharp easteriy
wind had blown the rope which con-
nects With the knife amongst a mass
of cords higher up and out of reach OF
the balloonist.
For fully two miles Maloney fDated
along. The gas was rapidly leaking
from the big bag above him, and he pre-
pared for the long drop. Maloney and
tie balloon came earthward rapidly. AS
it nesred he earth, the canvas fell
about the body Of the seronaqt and pre-
vented him from seeing where he Ws'
falling.
He struck in half standing position
on the top OF big cedar post used BY
farmer to mark of his field. His back
was terribly torn and his left arm badly
injured.
A long line OF automobiles, headed by
one carrying Governor Carts Guild,
who was a visitor at the fair, rushed to
the spot where Maloney had fallen
The man was picked up IN a semi
conscious condition, and was hurried to
his hotel in Barnstable Center. Ply
