Rare Sport Expected at the Autumn Meeting at Bennings. ‘THOROUGH IMPROVEMENTS AT THE TRACK FOR THE BETTER ACCOMMODATION OF THE PUBLIC AND COMFORT OF THE HORSES—NOTED STABLES AL- READY ARRIVED—THE PROGRAM OF THE WEEK. Substantial improvements are being made at 6 Bennings course in anticipation of the race meeting which commences next Tuesday. Washington this year will have the pleasure of seeing a much better grade of horses test- ing their speed than she has looked on for sev- eral years, When the band plays and the flags wave and the crowd gathers next weok at Bennings sev- eral changes will beseen. Tae betting lawn has been extended a number of feet and is now large enough to fully accommodate the crowds of betters that formerly found very little elbow room. YOR THE COMFORT OF THE SPECTATORS. ‘The east end of the grand stand, where form- erly the cold winds had free and untrammeled entrance, has been glassed up, which while it will not interfere with the light will make sit- ting on the stand much more comfortable than ‘the inclowure. for the nowspepcr boys has @ in also been widened. ores IMPROVED STABLING. The changesatthe track have not been solely for the benefit of the audiences, The horses have come in for a share of the changes. The stables have been increased by four, the new buildings being constructed on » plan of President Dra They have nocenter pas- sageway, tho box stalls being tight and open- ing directly on the outside. Above euch stall is a loft, which can be used for hay and sleep- img purposes, There are accommodations at Benniags now for something like 200 horses, and good accommodation: The club house has been painted and fixed up and looks as attractive and natty as possi- bie. So far as the track goes it is in first-rate trim, level and smooth as a billiard table. ‘The infield has changed so that it looks alto- — a different place from the ragged and e lawn of last year. The ground has been smoothed out and grass is growing, while the steeplechase jumps, which are scattered around, add variety to the field. THE STEEPLECHASE COURSE, which will be one of the new attractions this year, has been laid off and by Tuesday will be in good trim. There will be fifteen jumps in the course, which will be 21¢ miles in length. It i rather winding — steeplechase course, but it is thought will auswor first-rate, The water jamp stands directly on a line with the stand, and in fact from the stand an excellent view can be obtained of all the jumps. There will be a steeplechase every other day during the bose and mue! leasure is expressed by lovers of the races at revival of this branch of the sport. OVER ONE HUNDRED HORSES ALREADY. Already at the track are over one hundred horses and a number more are expected before the bell rings on Tuesday. The visiting horses are nearly all in good trim, and many an exciting finish may be ex- pected. Among the stables already at the track are: J. P. Burch, 8; R. Bradley, 12; L. Black, 5; Excelsior stables, 15; Gilpin, 5, V. Hollar, 8; Lioyd, 6; Carroll, 12; Randolph- 5; W. B. Jenning, 12; Downey, 10; T. B. Dos well, 8; A. E. Gates, 6; W.

OPPOSITION TO LIMITING THE SALOONS To FOUR MUNDBED—WHAT WAS SAID PRO AND cOX— ANOTHER HEARING TO BE GRANTED WHEN COL. ROBERT BETURNS TO DUTY. Mosers, N. H. Shea, Frank Madigan and Jas. L. Barbour called on the District Commission- ers thiygfternoon in the interests of the liquor dealers of the city and requested a hearing. They were ushered into the board room and Com missioners Douglass and Ross heard them. The principal point discussed was the proposition limiting the number of licenses to be issued this year to 400, MR. BARBOUR AGAINST THE 400 Liwtt. Mr. Barbour spoke at length against the proposition in question, holding that it was im- possible to reduce the number of saloons with- out working great injustice tosome one. He called attention to the fact that at resent there something over 700 iquor licenses, and while some of the persons holding these licenses had vio- Jated the law and couldn’t very well expecta new license there were many good people who had observed the law strictly and it would be unjust to cut these men off. FoUR HUNDRED MORE THAN EXovGH. Commissioner Douglass indulged in a little figuring, and said he found that 400 saloons were more than enough for Washington, for with an estimated population of 280,000 and 400 taloons there would be 575 persons to each saloon, and out of this estimated population should be deducted women, children and tem- perance men, Mr. Barbour called attention to the large in- flux of people to the capital all the time, but Mr. Douglass thought that the visitors wouldn't foot up 10,000 a M H. Shea also spoke against the 400 rule. as did Mr. Madigan. Mr. Ross said that inasmuch as the three Commissioners had adopted that rule unsnimously his interference with it would be out of the question. If, however, he said, the matter was to be recon- sidered he would be glad to go more deeply inte the question, ashe had not yet made up his mind to anything. Mr. Douglass said that what was needed was 8 binding rule which would kave the effect of reducing the number of saloons in the city. If such a rule was adopted he would not insist upon bis four-in-a-block rule, but would be willing to put the whole number in one square. HOW MR. BARBOUR WOULD REDUCE. Mr. Barbour thought the best way to reduce the saloons of thecity was to grant no new licenses and refuse all violators of the law. This,he said, would x«ccomplish all that was needed in a few years. It is understood that Col. Robert is not strictly in favor ot re- ducing the number of saloons by limiting the number of licenses to be issued to four hun- dred, in fact he so stated in an interview with & San reporter some time ago. Mr. Douglass suggested that the committee call when Col. Robert came back and be heard again on the subject. Another hearing will be given as soon as the colonel returns, Sa CLERICAL CHANGES.

Republicans and Democrats Both Send- ing Off Campaign Literature, Very little news, but e large amount of work, is about the political situation at the two con- Gressional committee headquarters today. The rush and general briskness which marks the beginning of the end ia just setting in and the way campaign literature is being poured on the heads of a devoted people by both re- publicans and democrats is a\solemn warning to tract disseminatora, THE REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS ‘was a lively place today. There were no Sena- tors or Representatives around, but there were lots of people just the same, In the front room isa big table which an uninitiated citi- zen might take for ® bargain counter in some book store. On it are strewn documents of all sorts, from the ponderous utterances of able statesmen on the ques- tion to pretty little valentines containing on one side pictures of the suake-like trail of the gerrymander in Obio and on the other the stars and stripes with remarks about the G.O.P. being true to the flag. With this collection the rule is help ourself ‘and all day long people stand around this table and pick out docu- ments and ammunition and picture cards and mail them to friends whom they think need reading matter. In the back room long lines of clerks are sending out documents of every description. AT THE DEMOCRATIC READQUARTERS activity is also the order. Large quantities of the new democratic text book, prepared by Mr. Logan Carlisle, are being sent off, along with big consignments of Senator Carlisle's speech on the tariff.

ROOSEVELT’S FISH STORY. Sixty Trout Landed by One Man in Fifty Minutes. “Yes, I'm looking brown,” said Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt to a Stan reporter to- day—Mr. Roosevelt had just returned from his Dakota ranch—“but lifeon s ranch is mostly out of doors andglam feeling first-rate. ‘I was pretty busy all the time, forI have had to neglect my ranch for a year anda half and I had enough to do in the interests of my cattle this time to keep me busy for six weeks, “Hunting? Not much. Only enough to keep usin fresh meat. Hunting is not what it used to be, even in that part of the country. Only deer, antelope and Rocky mountain sheep are left and they are getting scarce. “Fishing? Well, I am not much of fisher- man, but I did have some good sport. I was in the big cauon of the Yellowstone, where people do not often go. I caught a good string of trout myself, even if Iwas not: wed to @ rod. But my companion caught sixty trout in just fifty minutes, many of them two and three pounders, It was lively, I tell you, Well, it is over and Iam back again at work, Good aft- ernoon.” WASHINGTON P' RODUCE MARKET. A “Star? Reporter Strolls Among Wholesale and Ketail Dealers. ‘The general tone of the market is good. In eggs there has been a sharp advance—fresh western bringing 20 to 21 cents and near by 22 to 23, at wholesale, and today are selling at 25 cents, In the poultry line the wholesale price for large size spring chickens range from 10 to 11 cents, retaii 14 to 16 cents; undressed retai at 12} cents. A few turkeys, undressed, are to be seen at 12 cents a pound. Ducks and geese are not much in demand and few are for sale at prices ranging from7 to 8 cents whole- sale, 12 to 15 retail. The scarcity of butter receipts the past woek has stiffened wholesale prices, but not suf- ficiently to effect retail rates particularly. Fancy creamery print wholesales at 28 to 30 cents and retails at 40 cents, though oc- casionally found at 85 cents, First-class daity print at wholesale is 22 to 23 and retails at 30 to 35 cents. There was today nice lots of Virginia and Mary- land dairy prints retailing at 25 cents, and seemingly it was as nicely handled as the more expensive grades, Choice selections of Vir- giuia and Maryland dairy packed could be had at wholesale for 18 and 20 cents, Apples, mostly from western New York, a few trom Virginia, were $3.50, choice $5 per barrel, During the past week a few car loads were received which showed non-keeping qual- ities, consequently prices were lowered, and many on the market now are not the best aud buyers should examine purchases closely, Pears are running out in quality and stock, Grapes are to be found in quantities, Tho Yokay California is the best and brings $4.50 to $5 a crate and retails at 20 cents per pound; two pounds for 35 cents, Catawbas are now coming in better qualities—20 cents for 5 pounds, 35 to $734 cents for 10-pound lots. Con- cords and Delawares hold at about the same figure. ‘Sweet potatoes are bringing $2 per barrel for choice, 80 cents per peck retail. Irish potatoes, 80 cents to 90 cents per bushel. bbages wholesale at $1.50 to $2 per hundred and re- tail at 6 cents per head, Celery bronght today 40 cents per dozen stalky and re- tailed at about 5 cents or six stalks for 25 cents, Some of the dealers asked more, Tho long varieties were not so well blanched —the dwarf kinds were better and were gener- aliy firm and ci There has been # good deal of complaint about the inferior quality of celery so far this season. Vegetables are plentiful and vary slightly in price, socording to supply. About the — — coming in now is the rabbit, which wholesales at $1 to $1.50 per dozen, retailing xt 20 cents each.

He Has Not Yet Received a Letter of Recall From His Government. Don Emilio de Murnags, the Spanish min- ister to this country, was somewhat id today when questioned as to the truth of the published story that he had been recalled by his government owing to a change of ad- ministration. “Many changes are impending in the per- sonnel of the diplomatic corps in Spain,” he replied, ‘but I have not yet received a letter of recall, though I would not be at all surprised to receive such # summons. During my stay in Washington Ihave been treated very kindly by all the officiais with whom I have been brought in contact, andI am rather proud of the modus vivendi which I negotiated with Mr. Bayard under the Iast administration. Secre- tary Blaine is following in the footsteps of his Predecessor regarding the benefits of reci- procity, and this is very acceptable to my gov- ernment. Of course we want compensation for any concessions which we may be called upon to make under the provisions of the McKinley bill, and reciprocity will be a good thing for both nations.” Senor Murnaga wi ccredited to this coun- try as the Spanish ter on April 5, 1886, but he was not astranger in Washington, ha‘ ing graduated at Georgetown College many fonts neo, For upward of thirty years he has een in the diplomatic service of the Spanish —— at the courts of Vienna, Berlin and ndon, as well as at Washington.
