;IG CROWD PRESENT

NEW YORK. October 19.-Walt,-r J. Tra-2 of the Garden City Club. the national

elf champion, and Charles H. Seeley ofWeeburn, the Connecticut state champion,began the final round of thirty-six h.Aesmatt'h pl:.y for the Westbrook cup on theWestbrook Golf Club links today. A gre:atdeal of Interest is centered on this n.artcf,as these two have not met since Seeley beatTravis in the semi-final round of the Metro-politan championship last spring. £he playtoday was divided into two rounds of'ighteen holes each, and in addition therewas a ',-hole medal play handicap, whichattracted a large and representative fieldof metropolitan golfers. The weather con-

ditions were simplyperfect, and the fairgreen and putting greens could not havebeen in better condition.

Wind In Their Favor.When Travis and Seeley started out for

their first round of the links there was a

gale of wind back of them which madetheir drives and brassey shots go muchfurther than either expected. Travis slicedinto the rough grass, but made a good re-

covery. Seeley drove straight, but over-ran the green with his second. Travismade up his disadvantage at this point, antithe hole was halved in fives.Driving for the second hole, Seeley's

ball hit the telegraph wires and he playedagain without penalty. Both were on *hegreen in two, with Seeley having the bet-ter position. Travis overran his put andSeeley won the hole in 4 to 5.Going to the third hole Seetev lost his

advantage by slicing his drive into thewoods. and Travis playing steadily squaredthe score in 4 to 6.The next was halved in fours. but Travis

laced a stymie for his opponent on the fifthhole and won it in 4 to 5.

Facing the Wind Home.The players then had to face the wind

and their drives were a bit short. Seeleyplayed the better ball and with a beautifulapproach shot had his ball dead for thehole and won it In 4 to 5.Travis reached the seventh green in two,

making a splendid drive and a long brasseyshot. Seeley got into the roadway on hisdrive and this handicapped him. Traviswon the hole in 4 to 6.Travis got into difficulties in his approach

for the eighth hole and Seeley was equalto the occasion, squaring the match oncemore by holing out in 4 to 7.Travis got out on the ninth green In

three. Seeley took four. Travis ran downa twenty-foot put and won the hole in 4 to#;. which was a very brilliant play. as thedistance was 4*' yards. Following are thecards for the first nine holes:Travis.............. 5 5 4 4 4 5 4 7 4-42Seeley.............. . 4 6 4 5 4 4; 4 6-44Travis finished the first eighteen holes

and Seeley p.1yed so closely that it wasanyi-dy's match up to the eighteenth hole.which Travis w'n in C. to 7.- This madehim one up. and Seeley contested everyinch of ground that was traversed, andplayed so well that Travis had to do all heknew in order to keep his end up.Following are the cards for the second

Finaj Match for The Evening Star0 Golf Trophy.

The final match for The Evening Starcup between the Chevy Chase and Co-!l:mbla Clubs was started today at 2

-ek. on the links of the former c'ub.The weather was not so pleasant as on

Wedr.sday. when the two teams met onth- Columbia links. a stiff wind from thesouthwest making the drives of the di'ffer-ent players uncertain.As this match is the final one of the

season for the cup more than the usual in-t-rest was taken in the contest and thespectators began gathering at the beauti-ful 'hevy Chase Club house as early as theno, n'. hour.The players on the two teams were eager

for the fray, and were out early taking alittl- exerci.e in th.. way of making drivesor else getting their drive in first-class con-dition with putting on the green. After thec'nt.-st opened several parties of ladlesdrove up to the club house In handsometurnouts, and becaime interested spectatorsfor the rest of the afternoon. The ChevyChase course is in the best condition, thegra'.s being at the velvety stage, while thesurrounding trees presented a kaleidoscopeof color.The captains of both teams. Mr. F. 0.

Iiorstman and L. L. Harban, were earlyarrivals at the club house, and for sometime were busily engaged In lining uptheir men so) as to get the best results. Mr.Hlorstman made but one change in theCh.' y Chase team from that of last Wed-nesday, substituting R. Jenkins for ArthurlBriceThe latter is classed as one of the most

skillful golfers of the C'hevy Chase club,but hi5 game has gone all to pieces of lateand he requested to be let out of today'smatch. Dr. Hiarhan had also but onechange to maKe in his team from that ofWednesday. Dr. Hi. T. Harding replacingJohn Joy Ed.son, .Jr. Mr. Edson's stronggame. iike that of Mr. Brice, has also goneto the howwous, and he gracefully retired,a.. he believ.)d that the Columbia teamw-d heib. strength-ned by the addition oflDr Hasring.

forts of the Columbia leader were goodenough to land him within striking dis-tan.'e of the ho;le. 11oth approached well,but Mr. Horstman's put was a flttle longand the doctor's a little short. The holewas halved in four strokes, bogey figuresornce agamin.

SUNDERLAND MEMORIAL

PROPOSED CHANGE IN, 16AJE Or

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Committee to lie Named Tomorrow to

Take Matter in Charge-SpectalServlces.

Responding to a sentiment among the per-sonal friends of Dr. Sunderland, who be-lieve that a more lasting memorial shouldbe provided than a mere service, a move-

mtnt Is on foot to change the name of theFirst Presbyterian Church to the Sunder-land Memorial Church, making It as a

precedent to such change that the debt of$1N.0(X now due by the congregation shallbe paid in full. Substantial pledges to thisend have already been received, -and it isbelieved the movement will be taken upwith enthusiasm by his frinds, not only inthe District of Columbia, but all over theecuntry.

It is believed that no more fitting way ofperpetuating the memory of his life couldbe adopted than is the movement now be-Ing advocated, because during his lastyears the debt was believed by him to be ahindrance upon the church's efficiency indoing the work called for, which, becauseof its history and prestige, It should beable to do. A committee will be .namedafter the memorial service tomorrow totake charge of the undertaking.

Memorial Tribute.At 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon services

will ge held commemorating the memory ofDr. Sunderland, who died at Catskill, N. Y..June 30. 1901. Dr. Sunderland was pastorof the First Presbyterian Church for nearlyfifty years, andi was one of the most promi-nent clergymen In the city during thattime.

It is easily possible for a news-

judge by results, and bogus circula-tions don't give them.The family circulation of The Star

HALL- GANE- IN POLITICS

CANDIDATE FOR SEAT IN TEE MANKPARLIAMENT.

His Self-Coustrueted Platform Savors

Strongly of Socialisnm and Alarms

His Supporters.

LONDON. October 19.-Hall Caine hasconsented to become a candidate for theManx parliament in behalf of the town ofRamsay. His opponent is a local lawyer.Mr. Caine's address has created consterna-tion even among-his own supporters, fQr-he advocates sweeping changes that mightwell be planks in a national platform ofsome great reform party. First of all, Mr.Caine wants to nationalize the steamshipservice connecting the Ise of Man withEngland, running it without profit. Thenhe applies himself to the Manx steam andstreet railroads and would furnish thesame radical -system to- them. Land mustbe treated in a somewhat similar manner,the Manx paj-liament controlling the drain-age, cultivation and tree planting. Thebanks, of course, are included in this na-tionalization scheme, by which Mr. Cainebelieved that such financial scandals asoccurred in the Isle of Man last year wouldbe avoided.Mr. Caine justifies these apparently un-

profitable national undertakings by point-ing out that the primary factor in Manxprosperity is the island's popularity as aholiday resort, and that it must prosper ordecline as it meets the needs of the vis-itors.With a parting reference to the necessity

of a reform of the system of representa-tion and ridding the legal system of itsanachronistic superfluities, the 1author com-mits himself and his program into thehands of the intelligent citizens of Ramsay.

DISALLOWED THE CLAIM.

Gen. Harries Denied Two Months' Ex-tra Pay for Service in 1898.

General Geo. H. Harries having taken an

appeal from the decision of the auditor forthe War Department, disallowing him twomonths' extra pay as colonel of the 1st Dis-trict of Columbia Infantry during the Span-ish war, the controller of the treasury hasheld that General Harries is not entitled tothe extra pay and affirms the decision ofthe auditor. The auditor disallowed theclaim because the records show that Col.Harries was on waiting orders from Sep-tember 12 to November 10, 1898, and thatthere is no record showing that he waspresent for duty during that period exceptfor one day.The controller says that the records are

conflicting as to whether or not GeneralHarries was on waiting orders during theentire period of the regimental furlough.The controller refers to the general ordersof the War Department, directing thatleaves of absence for sixty days and fur-lotughs for the same period be granted offi-cers and men who served beyond the limitsof the United States, and says that thisorder was subsequently amended so as toplace the officers on waiting orders insteadof granting them leaves of absence.The controller said that the commander

of a regiment could place himself in a dutystatus by merely doing work of a militarycharacter, but "it does not appear thatColonel Harries took any action to placehimself on duty. He contends, however,that his orders recalling certain officers ofhis regiment to duty after having placedthem on waiting orders have been recog-nized by this office as valid and bindingupon those officers."The controller concludes as follows:"It is possible for a commanding officer

to exercise some supervision over the af-fairs of his regiment during a furlough pe-riod without interfering with his civil pur-suits, and in that case the exercise of suchsupervision would not seem to place him ina duty status. The authority, -vhether ex-pressed or implied, to issue orders of a cer-tain kind does not of itself place an officerin a duty status for all purposes. Neitherthe issuance of such orders nor the exerciseof general supervision over the officers andmen on duty is sufficient to place him in aduty status. It does not appear that theclaimant actually retained or placed him-self on duty in accordance with general or-ders No. 130, or that he was assigned toduty by any superior military authority."

Reinstatements in the Treasury.The Treasury Department has just de-

cided two important questions of interest.to persons separated from the classifiedservice, without delinquency or misconduct,and who apply for reinstatement before theexpiration of the one-year time period un-der the limitations of the civil servicerule 9.Applications have been made for rein-

statement just before the year expired forthe purpose of extending the time periodof eligibility another year. The decision insuch cases is that the department will notapprove such applications, as it is believedthat such action would be neither in theinterests of the public nor of good admin-istration, and that it is in contraventionof the civil service rules.Applications are also made for the rein-

statement of persons separated from theclassified service (by removal or resigna-tion), by reason of absence on account ofannual and sick leave for a period of timegreater than that allowed by law (sixtydays). or by reason of resignation withoutdelinquency or misconduct to enter otheremployment. The decision in such case isthat when reinstated to the classified ser-vice it will be only to such grade and classas in the opinion of the department wouldbe to the best interests of the public service,irrespective of the grades and classes heldpreviously by the applicant.

Athletics Also Get Part of the OldPhillies' Players, Leaving That

Team Crippled.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.PHILADELPHIA, October 19.-Seven

members of the Philadelphia NationalLeague club have already signed two-yearcontracts to play with the AmericanLeague, and two more are dickering withthe latter organization. The players all de-n!ed having signed during the season, butmost of them received substantial advancemoney, and then affixed their signatures tocontracts at the close of the NationalLeague season..Four of the, sevelt .will be seen.at Wash-

ington, anid the .ot4'ir three with- the Ath-letics in this citiy. Left Fielder Delahanty,Third Baseman Wolverton and PitchersOrth and Townsend will be with the Sena-tors, and Shortstop Monte Cross, RightFielder Flick and Pitcher Duggleby withthe Athletics. Delahanty gets the nmostmoney, his figures being 34,000, with $1,000advance money. Flick, Cross, Wolverton.and Orth get 33,000 a piece, and have eachreceived 3500 advance money, while Town-send and Duggleby are to get $2,400 each.This cripples the Philadelphia team, ar-dmakes it almost impossible for the club toget together a winning aggregation nextseason, Jennings and White being the onlyones who have, up to the present, signedwith the Phillies for 19t%.Monte Cross, in discussing the wholesale

jump, said: "If the Philadelphia club hadoffered us as much money as the AmericanLeague we would not have jumped, for wethink we stood a fair chance of winning thepennant next season. The players looked atthe matter from a cold-blooded businessstandpoint, however, and as it meant anadvance of at le st 3600 to every man, wefelt justified in taking the step, particu-larly as our money Is guaranteed."

married in Italy. and returned to Manilathe same year and joined his father's firm.B. A. Baretto & Co. In 1875 he wasmade a partner of his father's firm, and ipthe same year was appointed Italian consulby his majesty King Victor Emmanuel.He owned and managed the San Miguel

foundry and iron works, the first concernestablished in these islands, and built allthe sugar mills, hemp and tobacco pressesand steam launches working at that timein the islands.

Stronger Government Needed.Senor Baretto conversed this afternoon-

with an Evening Star reporter about theneeds of the Philippines in a governmentalsense."The sensible people in 'the Philippines,"

he said, "are all in favor of Americans, but,of course, sensible people are in the minor-ity there, as they are in other countries.There should be a radical change in thesystem of government of the islands bythe United States," he continued. "Theyneed a stronger hand."The civil commissions are altogether too

numerous. The civil system should be re-organized and the military element givenmore power in directing the government,Some of the members of the Taft commis-sion are altogether too intimate with cer-tain native elements that should never betrusted, because they are absolutely un-trustworthy in every respect. They usethe advantages they thus enjoy for thebenefit of the insurrectos, who have theirreal sympathies.

Does Not Understand Kindness."The Filipinos do not understand kind-

ness. He has been accustomed for genera-tions, like all other eastern peoples, to be-ing driven and he regards kindness as anindication of weakness. This is manifest toany one who knows the Filipinos well."The civil commissioners have not been

very fortunate in their selection of nativeappointees to office. As an instance, a na-tive was appointed governor of Batangasprovince by the name of Flaix Roxas. Hefailed at this and was appointed judge ofone of the provinces in spite of the factthat he had never practiced law. Such ap-pointments, are numerous."I think," said Senor Barrello, in conclu-

sion, "the problem of pacifying the Phil-ippines and establishing stable governmentthere will never be solved until the mili-tary branch of the United States is power-fully represented on any commission 'thatmay be selected for the purpose. The pres-ent plan will certainly never accomplishanything of substance in the direction men-tioned."

Three Eatra Aramy Teamaports Weededto Bring Home the Time-

Eaptered Men.

One of the questions that will require theprompt and serious consideration of Secre-tary Root on his return to this city uextweek will be the qilitary situation in thePhilippines. The recent serious outbreaksin the Island of Samar have disturbed theauthorities considerably. It Is realised thatthey may prove a serious setback to theplans of the administration for the pacifica-tion of the Filipinos and of American sny-ereignty. There Is no longer any prospectof any substantial reduction in the strengthof the Philippine army for some time tocome. In fact, the latest advices from GUn.Chaffee contain argument against any re-

duction of the army at this time, except asrequired by the expiration of enlistments.As pointed out by General Corbin In his

annual report, the army will lose nearly2.000 men a month on that account. TheWar Department officials are now consider-ing how to meet this prospective deficiencywithout impairing the efficiency of the mil-itary establishment In the Philippines.General Chaffee has said that he will re-quire three extra transports to assist inbringing home the short-term men withinthe next six or eight months. The quar-termaster's department has selected thetransports Meade, Rosecrans and Egbertfor this special service. The last twonamed will leave Washington ports In afew weeks for Manila. They will take outcivilian employes and supplies. The Meade.which Is at San Francisco, is being held inreserve for the purpose of taking outtroops to replace those to be brought home.Other vessels which will be utilised in

taking troops to the Philippines are theGrant at San Francisco and the Crook atNew York. The former, which is expect-M to leave about the middle of nextmonth, will carry out an entire regimentwith its equipment, and the Crook willtake the nucleus of another regiment anda number of recruits. She will start aboutthe 1st of December. Although not set-tled it is probable that the 28th Infantry.now in the department of the Columbia,will be ordered to the Philippines on theGrant.Final action on these matters will be

deferred until after Secretary Root re-turns to Washington next week: It willbe for him to decide whether the army inthe Philippines shall be maintained at itspresent strength, and If so how the re-ductions caused by expired enlistmentsshall be made up. It is practically settledthat many line officers now engaged on re-cruiting. service In this country will beoidered to duty in the Philippines.WILL BE GONE OVER A YEAR.

Another Exploring Expedition byMessrs. Lathrop and Fairchild.

A second expedition over a wide area offoreign country, undertaken In the hope ofdiscovering exotics capable of profitablegrowth In the United States, is to be startedfrom San Francisco about the middle of No-vember at the expense of Mr.Barbour Lath-rop of Chicago. Two persons are to composethe party-Mr. Lathrop himself and Mr. D.G. Fairchild of the Agricultural Depart-ment, who has been detailed to that ser-vice. The journey Is to take the travelersthrough the South Sea islands of New Zea-land, Western Australia, the coast of Chi-na. British India and other districts, andwill probably last more than a year. Mr.Fairchild will leave Washington October 23.When Mr. Fairchild and Mr. Lathrop

went away in 1897 they visited the greaterpart of both hemispheres.These two undertakings are the conception

of Mr. Lathrop, a capitalist who has trav-eled widely and who desires to encouragethe introduction into American soil of thegreatest possible number of agriculturalfood products now grown exclusively else-where, but capable of growth either in theUnited States or in its insular possessions.Many sections of the country now compar-atively unproductive, such as the aridlands of the west, are susceptible of muchdevelopment, it is believed, through the in-troduction of proper agricultural methodsand materials. Many other districts arenow occupied in the cultivation of oneor two staple commodities only while thesoil and climate are thought to favor thegrowth of many other. products. When Mr.Lathrop, though not a botanist or an agri-culturist, became convinced of this possi-bility he entered into conference with theAgricultural Department and offered topay all the expenses of such expeditionsas the two Indicated If the departmentwould make the experiments necessary andfoster the growth of desirable plants andcereals.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Diapatch to TIP ivening Star.NEW YORK. October 19.-Today was a

holiday on the London stock exchange.In the local stock exchange market there

were few changes of importance at theopening, and the initial dealings. with oneor two exceptions, notably AmalgamatedCopper and Northern Pacinc preferred.were dull and uninteresting. Northern Pa-cific preferred opened up 1-4 per cent andquickly gained a point on small transar-tions. This advance, however. did not laist.and on a little selling to take profits thestock declined 2 1-2 points. to 10r3 1-2. subse-quently rallying to opening figures. Amal-gamated Copper opened at about yester-day's closing price, but on rumorsof settlement of differences betweena prominent Boston operator and theStandard Oil interest the stock was ratherheavily bought from the start and the priceadvanced over 2%1 per cent, mostly on cov-ering of short contracts. one room tradercovering 5.t00 shares during the first halfhour that he had sold at the opening.The advance in copper brought about asympathetic movement in the railway list.nearly all of the active stocks moving upfractionally from % to % per cent.Trading In th'e local Traction shares was

extremely lifeless, and the little that wasdone developed fractional weaknessesthroughout that group. Sugar stock fluc-tuated irregularly within a point.The market was allowed to drift irreg-ularly until after the publication of the

bank statement, when, because of the non-appearance of pressure to sell. another at-tempt was made to lift prices under thelead of Amalgamated Copper. The buyingof this stock. which was persistent andcredited to Boston houses, advanced theprice of this specialty to a new high levelW#.Outside of this stock and Sugar Refiningstock--in both of whit-h a considerable

short interest is said to exist-the generalmarket's advance was only fractional, andlong stock was met on each of the =mAlirallies. Every effort was made to start ageneral covering movement, notwithstand-ing the fact that the bank statement wasmanifestly unfavorable, and it was not sur-prising that these efforts fell flat in regardto the general railway list.According to the bank statement issued

today the local banks have loot g1.411.Ptiin lawful money, which is about g.005less than the estimates. The increase inloans was attributed in a large part to theshifting of accommodations from the for-eign exchange market to the local markt.The increase in deposits is very nearly n-sistent with the charges in cash an I inloans. and the net result brings the sur-plus down tig$1..4477,.The statement follows: Reserve, decreap-ed V2.017.40; loans. increased $4.4#38..-dso;specie. decreased $'601.tieio; legai. decrease-d$%t51.10; deposits. increased $2.425.200; cir-culation. Increased S3lr.twt Summing upthe market for the day. the feature. asidefrom Amalgamated Copper, which was ac-tive and accounted for more than half ofthe total transactions, was the intense dull-ness and general lack of character in thespeculation. This speculative apathy wasvariously attributed to the absence of f.ur-eign trading, expectation, from the start.of an unfavorable bank statement. and unt-certainty regarding the Northern Paciticdeal. And 'It might be added. also, to afeeling, on the part of some of the shrewdroom traders. that not enough reaction hasoccurred in the active railway shares giarethe heavy covering movement in theseshares earlier in the week. and by whichprocess most of the short friterest In themarket (the really sustaining element inthe market for the past thrm- weeks) wasmade to cover their outstanding contracets.
