pitching gilt-edged ball for the Indians
! all season. Herring. on the Indians first
appearance In this city. worked behind
| the bat, but Sunday he pitched and de-
feated the Washington Giants at Union
! League Park.
The local boys who have seen Herring
work say that he has all the earmarks
Of developing into a corking good pitch
Ell, and Scout Kahoe liked him well
enough to hold him over until the team
arrived.
The youngsters will be in uniform to-
day, and will more than likely be used
in morning practice for some little time.
Should they show ability enough to war
rent giving them a thorough tSial they
will be kept. Otherwise, Manager Grif-

club.
Austin Howard, the local boy who

Relief From Heat is Expected

Cool weather for tonight and more cool

may be showers. and then again there

iperature Then Mondays weather. is ex-
ipected to pattern after Sunday, SO that
Washington residents may confidently ex-
pect pleasant days and deliciously cool
nights for some little time.
Todays cool weather might almost be
considered unreasonable, but it was
mighty pleasant, at that. The tempera-
ture all day Yesterday was just high
enough to be warmly comfortable, and as
the evening. drew on the mercury slid
down in the tube, until. an hour or SO
after sunset, light wraps felt mighty
night the air had become chilly, and
early risers this morning felt as though
they had been mysteriously transplanted
to Vermont or the Maine coast Or some
where up about Mackfnac. Clouds yelled
the sun all day, and there was no chance
for the weather to warm up much, though
the threatening canopy Of gray never
grew dense enough to bring rain.

home and work all summer will have no
cause for complaint if present weather
conditions continue until the end OF Au-

Secretary MscNeagh has dismissed from

Mr.. Macveagh does not expect any res
ignations growing out of that incident
and the continued talk OF possible resig-
nations is distassefui 10 him. The strong
suspicion that Lee McClung. treasurer OF
the United States~ is the man referred
to by Mr.. Andrew as having written
President Taft some months ago com
planning OF Mr.. Macveagh, has not been
denied or verified by that official. who
keeps silent about the whole thing. II
Mr.. McClung resigns. however. IL will
ba OF his own vo'ition end not through

Neagh or the President
Director Ralph OF the bureau of en-
craving and printing said yesterday tnat
he had once contemplated resisning. but
that the slight difference he had then
with Secretary MacNeagh had been am
icably and agreeably adjusted. II was
mere matter of administration and had
since been forgotten so far as prejudice
or feeling went. Mr.. Ralph reiterated
that his relations with Secretary Mac
Veagh have for long time been very
cordial and he knew no reason why they
should not continue that way.

CANADA WOULD END PACT.
Dissatisfaction Is Aroused Over Fish
ing Agreement With q. 8.

OTTAWA, July. 20.-The abrogation Of
the modus viyendi between the United

Canadian ports bases of operation without
giving any compensating advantages. A
license fee Of $50 ton for each fish
ing vessel obtains the privilege of ship
ping crews. taking on supplies and trans
shipping the catch at the ports in ques-
ton.
When the agreement was made original
ly Canadian fish was admitted free to the
United States market, but this privilege
has since been done away with.
