RESULT OF BoYISH QUARREL.
Lad in Freedmen's Hospital Suffering
From Severe Injury.

In boyish quarrel yesterday evening
about o'clock Rowland Brown, colored.
ten years old. of 1923 Wiltberger street.
was struck on the head with a stone thrown
by a companion and was severely injured.
Although the skull was not fractured as
was feared at first. the injury is regarded
as severe one and will keep the boy for q
week or more in Freedmen's Hospital, to
which he was conveyed after the fight
Allen Poindexter. colored, living at 443
Rhode Island avenue. is blamed by the no.
lice for the assault. and a search is being
made for him. but he has not yet been
located.
The two boys. it is declared, were near
a drinking fountain at 9TH street and Rhode
Island avenue and one threw some water on
the other. The compliment was returned.
and soon the fun changed into a fight. In
the course of the alteration which fol-
lowed Brown was struck on the head and
fell to the pavement unconscious A crowd
soon gathered and the police reached the
scene in a few minutes. Brown was hur-
ried to Freedmens Hospital, but his as
sailant escaped.

WALKER KICKED AND WON.
And Now Everybody May Use the B,
and o. Parcels Post.

After filing formal complaint against
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for running
a parcel post for the benefit of its commut-
ers and not letting the general public in on
the scheme, ]. f. Walker. the complainant,
has been informed by the interstate COM
merce commission that his original objec-
ton was well taken. but that the railroad
mas since thrown down the bars, and there
is no reason why he or any other occa sional
traveller by the road should not take add
vantage of the parcel post if he wants to.
The case was rather curious one and
may result in similar scheme being ar
ranged by other railroads for the benefit OF
the public and to the detriment of the ex-
press companies.
The Baltimore and Ohio was in the habit
OF selling stamps to commuters on its line
from Philadelphia to other points south
These stamps were good for the transpor-
tatfon of packages up to fifty pounds. The
objection of Mr.. Walker was that the priv
ilege of the stamp parcel service was re-
stricted to commuters. The interstate COM
merce commission, without attempting to
say whether the practice was lawful or not.
held that it should not tie restricted to any
one class Of patrons. So Mr.. Walker can
now ship side saddle, or an incubator or
anything else that he wants under a rail-
road stamp If ii does not go over the fifty
pound limit. What the express compan MES
Will have to say at this infringement Of
their business is matter for the future
to determine, but 1t is good for the general
public while 1t lasts.

Makes Promise to the Court

When Mrs. Guifford took the witness
stand before Judge Mullowny in the Police
Court yesterday to testify against her
brother, Charles F. Nickel, whom she
charged with threats, she said: Your
honor. he shook his fist at me while l was
looking out a window in my home Satur-
day night last and shouted that If | would
come outside he would make good job for
the hospital, If he had to go to jail for II.
He's got me scared to death as | believe
he would make good his threat"
Nickel denied the charges ard told the
court that at the time his sister says he
threatened her life he was sitting peace
ably in his back yard with his wife and
little children and was not giving his sister
thought.
And you never mentioned anything
about cutting her up and making a hos
pital job out of her?" Judge Mullowny
asked.
Not a word" the accused replied "She
has a grudge against me and my wife and
wants to get me in trouble"
IF you will promise not to send your
sister to the hospital. l Will promise not
to send you to jail" Judge Mullowny said
in concluding the case. Nickel gave his
personal bond to keep the peace and was
released. His wife, who sat in the court
room during the hearing, became greatly
affected, and as her husband was given his
release she tainted and was carried to the
corridor by one of the court officers.

NO MONEY TO BURN.
Naval Militia Lose Target Practice
Allowance,

Keen disappointment is felt among the
officials interested in the naval militia or
CARNATIONS of the country over a recent
ruling of the Judge advocate general of the
army. This was in effect that the naval
militia is not specifically mentioned and in
consequence is not entitled to share in the
allotment Of the appropriation for target
practice made by Congress for the National
Guard, the army and the navy and the
Marine Corps. Naval Organizations from
some Of the states already had given notice
of their intention to compete in target
practice. The decision is now in the hands
of the judge advocate general of the navy,
and II that officer feels there is any ques-
ton as to the correctness of the attitude OF
the army, appeal will be taken to the
Attorney General. The contest for the
national trophy this year is to be held at
Camp Perry, Ohio, instead of at Sea Girt.
N. j., as heretofore.

SPLENDID GIFT TO CHINA
THE PRESIDENT PRESENTS S12,-
100000 TO DRAGON KINGDOM.
But Congress Must Give It's Consent
Chinese Minister Expresses
Deep Gratitude.

BOSTON, June 19.-Sr Chentune Lang
Cheng. the retiring Chinese ambassador to
the United States, who is in this city on a
visit, yesterday made the following state
ment:
snail make public today the contents
OF an official note which l received from
secretary Root last Saturday night, which
shows better than anything else can the re-
markedly high sense of justice which the
United States has used in all her dealings
with China. You remember that after the
Boxer troubles China agreed to pay an in
demnity of S24440,17S.Sl on account of the
losses entailed by the United States govern
ment, as well as for personal property
lost by her citizens during the Boxer cam
palgn. Four years ago today your govern
ment was good enough to promise me that
when the time arrived, as a token Of sin
cere friendship for China, the original fig
ures OF the indemnity would be revised.
True to the promise of the executive off,
GERS, L received a note from Secretary Root
last Saturday night saying that the Pres!-
dent directed him to say that In his next
to recommend that China be relieved of all
obligation in excess of the final revised
amount of the indemnity, which had been
set at S11 go. 49,. 90. That, as you can see,
will save China over S12,WO,OOO and also an
interest at per cent
You cannot emphasize too strongly my
great admiration for the fair spirit which
has always characterized the dealings of
the United States with my country. This
hnal action is another monument to AmeIi
cas- high sense of justice, and feel called
upon to say-not because l am the retiring
America is one of China's strongest
