The Nationals return home to-day from
months tour Of the American League
circuit and this afternoon will entertain
the ST. Louis Browns at National Park
While on the road, Cantillons band
played thirty games and won but
eight. which is not particularly good.
When the team left here It was In sew
enth place, but the loss OF more than
two-thirds of the games set the club
back and forced it into the bottom posi-
ton.
In Justice 10 the team it must be said
that a series Of accidents which com
p!etely upset both infield and outfeld had
more to do with the reverses away from
home than any slump. First came the
accident to Charley Jones, and then fol-
lowed in quick succession mishaps to
Otis Clymer. Jack Warner. Cliff BlanlSen-
ship, and Charley Smith. so that before
half OF the trip had been completed
the whole club was hopelessly crippled
and, all things considered. was rather
lucky to be able TO win the eight games
which have been placed to the credit of
Washington since June ..
However. it is believed that the worst
has passed and the team which takes
the field this afternoon viii be easily
the best that has represented this city
this season.
Some New Players.
Mig Perrine showed that he was out
OF his class in MAJOR league company
and was relegated TO Minneapolis in the
American Association. However. three
The most interesting Of the new men will
be Otis Clymer, the big outfelder from
Pittsburg. whose hitting attracted atten-
ton al around the circuit. Clymer's in
jured ankle has not recovered entirely,
but he is expected 10 be in shape to get
into the game to-day.
In addition 10 Clymer there VIII be
Shipke, the third baseman, and Gehring,
the pitcher from Des Moines. Nobody
seems to know just what has become Of
Walter Johnson. the pitching phenOm,
but officials Of the club here believe that
the Montana tWirler will turn up In
Washington within the next few Gays.
Having gotten together an outdeid that
suits his fancy C2ntiiloa has turned his
attention to the pitching staff, and yes
terday word was received here that Eli
Gates, considered the best pitcher in the
Rcifc Coast League, has been obtained.
Gates IS a member OF the Oakland (Cal)
club, and it is unlikely that he will wear
a National uniform this season, but he
will be with the local squad at the be-
ginning of next season.
Gates was recommended TO Washington
by Manager Denny Long, the San Fran /
cisco manager. who landed CHI Blanken- /
ship for the Nationals

The Blackburn Appointment.

Senator J. c. s. Blackburn's se- lection by the president for place on the isthmian canal commission, soon to be reorganiZed, caused gen. eral pleasure in congress. No mem Der of either house is more popu- lar than the Kentuckian, so that everybody is gratified that he has been chosen by the president for so lucrative position, and one in which he will perform service of value to the country, but it was known only to a very few persons that the senator had a desire to become member of this commits sion. 1t had been the general opin- ion that he would like a place on the interstate commerce commits sion, and that President Roosevelt had tentatively offered him an ap- pointment to that board as soon as vacancy should occur.
 Many of Senator Blackburn s closest friends were under the inn pression that on the expiration ot his term with the close of this con. gress he purposed to retire to his farm in the heart of the blue grass

Surviving War Governors.

As far as known only two of the war governors of the North are still living. They are Frederick Holbrook of Vermont, and William Sprague of Rhode Island. Gov ernor Holbrook celebrated his ninety-fourth birthday only a few days ago, and is still strong and active of mind. Governor Sprague is about ten years younger, and is also very we'll preserved, despite the life of strenuous activity and excitement he led until 8 few years ago. The latter is better known throughout the country than is Governor Holbrook by reason of his service in the senate, and his mar riage with Kate Chase, daughter of the great chief justice. After her divorce from Rhode Islands war governor, Mrs. Sprague made her home in Washington for many years, though much of her time 1 was spent in Europe.
 It is believed that all of the ] Southern war governors are dead, among the last to die being Isham G. Harris of Tennessee, who at the time of his death was mem- Der of the senate.
 On the Lecture Platform.
 Messrs. Tillman, La Toilette and Dubois will lead the congressional lecture brigade on the Chautauqua circuits this year. Each has con- tract with the same bureau that means big earnings for them and a busy season until the assembling of congress in December. Senators Tillman and La Toilette already
 have accumulated good-sized for tunes on the rostrum, and it i 1 estimated that each will add about
 $5O,O0O to his bank account this year. MT. Dubois, who is no longer a senator, has never lectured be- fore for pay, and after more than twenty years of public life retires poorer than when he started. It is said that while his contract does

Will Soon Be Free.

!. Ralph Burton, the former Kansas senator, now serving sen fence of six months in jail at Iron ton. Mo-, on a sentence by the fed eral court at St. Louis for vlolat- ing his oath as a United States sen ator by practicing for pay before the departments in Washington, will be released on the 22d of this month. It is said that he will re- turn immediately to his old home at Abilene. Kan, where he will found a weekly paper. Mrs. Bur ton has lived in IrontOn since her husband began his term of imprls- onment, and has been permitted to see him every day, and carry him his dinner, which she cooks her. self. The former statesman iias about completed a history of the trouble which resulted so dis astrously to his career, and this, it is believed, he will publish in serial form. Burton still has staunch friends in Kansas, who will cheer fully assist him in living down the disgrace which drove him from the senate two years before his term had expired.

S.u,tor Carmack's Swan Song.

Senator Carmack's Swan Song.
 Senator Carmack's farewell per formance on the floor of the sen ate was his jolliest, if not his best. Ordinarily the methods of the 1iil- huster consist of simply tirlng out his adversaries by talk that Is as dull and lonesome as it is inter- minable. Not so with Cafmach' He talked all day sunday anu amused his hearers so that they al, sat and listened to him. oc- casionally a senator arose to 1h- terrupt the flow of humor, put only to evoke some choice repartee that only added to the merriment of the performance. Sometimes tllpus'ef- ing is justified by it's purpose anu sometimes it isn't. In this case it was not only done in righteous cause. but it was done merrlly It was thus doubly vindicated.-bos- ton Herald.

to the fact that such an issue

DIR. KILGO ON GEN lee.
Addressed Students and College Com.
munlty Last Saturday Night.

lege and the friends OF the col
lege met In the Craven Memorial
Hall on last Saturday evening
at eight o'clock to celebrate the
one hundreth anniversary of the
birth of Robert f. Lee. Dean
w. P. Few presided over the
meeting and in brief and we'll
chosen words introduced Presi-
dent ]. c. Kilgo to deliver the
address of the occasion. DR..
kilgo spoke with even more than
his usual elcquence and force and
held the closest attention of the
audience. His address held up
Lee as a man of serene greatness
of soul, an ideal citizen and lead
er of the South. While lack of
space prevents the publication of
any complete account of the ad-
dress, a part of DR.. Kilgo's trib-
ute to Lee was in substance as
follows:
Why should there be such
widespread interest in Robert f.
Lee in this land? Why should
intelligent men of all parts OF
this nation do him honor? Why
should he rise to a national place
in the admiration Of the Ameri-
can people? Why should DR..
Abbott recently have said that
wherever Americans place statues
for the instruction and inspiration
of men that among famous men
Robert z. Lee will stand with
his peers?. 1t is easy tc
see why the South should make
Of him hero and should honor
him, but it is not alone the South
but the North and the West anc
the Northwest that recognize il
him a lofty American of whom
all Americans may be proud anc
whom all mankind may admire
We understand usually why tht
American people honor othe,
men whom they hold as thei
ideal. Franklin at a very delicat,
