London Letter to the New York Herald. On Whit Monday a Londoner went to the Zoological Gardens armed with a ham sandwich constructed by bis wife. On ar- riving at that time of the day when the demands of appetite were keen he marched up to a refreshment bar and demanded a free glass of water with which to wasi down his ham sandwich. It w: refused by the barmaid. Then the citizen, thirsting for water and revenge, too (the ham was rather salt), went home and wrote.to the papers, saying that the refreshment bars had ireated him heartlessly and that any one who went to them got himself sneered at if he asked for water fur nothing, because the bar meanly prefcrred to sell whisky on ac- count of the extra profit. At which the refreshment contracto> at ence wrote back to the papers and denice the charge. He said that he w @ rate-payer with a churengeing wife and fartiy up at Brix- ton, and that any one wh. asked for water at his bar could get it, the zoo people hav- ing so stipulated in the bond. Now every one who goes to the zoo walks up to that bar to see if this is so. Said one of the barmaids to me (for I went to see if it was su): “We've served 2,560 free glasses of water today. We haven't time to serve any alcoholic drinks and we are losing ten shillings an hour and ex- pect to fail at any moment. Before this agitation started we were not asked for a glass of water once a week. Water, sir? Yes, sir,” she remarked wearily to a fat man with six children who stood there stern and unrelenting, bent on making the bar live up to its contract and give him seven glasses gratis.. “Where's the manager?” I asked pres- ently, when she got a little time, for I wanted to verify the statistics. a “Oh,” she replied, simply. “He's off looking for that man who wrote the letter to the papers.

Like many others of his race, he is possessed of a readiness of repartee which some of the club members find not entirely unenviable. A few days since, ut the pool table, one of the players, having made an execrable shot, exciting the de- rision of the spectators, turned to the boy and said: “Well, Richard, you'll stand by me, any- how. It wasn't so bad, was it?’ “It was awful, suh,” said Richard. “What?” cried the player. “You criticise too, do you?

RONNING OF A Brief History of the English Institution. THE GREAT DERBY TODAY GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS a ae ee LONDON, June 6.—Lord Rosebery’s Ladas won the derby today. An interesting feat- ure in connection with the race is that the third part of the prophecy regarding him- self made by Lord Rosebery in his college days was fullilled. Years ago he said that he would marry the richest heiress of her time, that he would become prime minister, and that one of his horses would win the derby. He married the richest girl in England, Miss Hannah De Rothschild; he is prime minister of England, and today he won the dcrby with his bay colt Ladas, the winner of the two thousand guineas on May 9, and the winner of the Newmarket stakes on May 23. ‘The derby, the greatest of all horse races, 1s of 6,060 sovereigns; the winner to re- ceive 5,000 ($25,000), the nominator of the winner, 500 sovereigns; the owner of the second, 300 sovereigns, and the owner of the third, 200 sovereigns out of the race. ‘The event is for three-year-olds, colts to carry Yestone, and fillies to carry 8 stone ¥ pounds. Entrance fee, 5 sovereigns. Dis- tance about one mile and a half. ‘the entries, which closed on July 19, 1892, comprised 225 subscribers, 178 of whom, at the time the racing calendar was issued, had signified their intention to pay for- felt. 4 ‘the following were starters with the bet- ting late last night: Lerd Rosebery’s colt Ladas, 1) to 4 on; Lord Alington’s Mate! box, 100 to 14 inst; the Duke of West- minster’s Bullingdon, 8 to 1; Mr. T. Can- ron’s Reminder, 25 to 1; Lord Bradford's Hornbeam, 50 to 1; Mr. Duglas Baird’s Gal- loping Diek, 50 to 1; Lord Scarborough’s Clwyd, 100 to 1. Enthusiasm for Rosebery, It is doubtful if so much interest has ever before been taken in the derby. There were several causes for this state of affairs. In the first place, many thousands of people Were anxious to see the race because it is the great event of the turf; and in the second place, Ladas was looked upon as being the horse of the year, his previous victories having won him hosts of friends, who longed to see once more the primrose with rose-colored cap, Lord Rosebery’s colors, flying to the front of everything else in the field. The morning was dreary, rain threaten- ing and fog predominating. Over 100,000 people, according to estimate, journeyed to Epsom today, by road or by rail, in some manner or other, the attend- ance being above the average in point of numbers and respectability. Ladas won in a canter, by a length anda half, in 2 minutes 45 4-5 seconds. Six lengths separated the second horse, Match- box, from the third, Reminder. Hornbeam Was fourth. Thousands of wildly cheering people in- vaded the course after the race was de- cided and Ladas was soon surrounded by a@ multitude, half mad with enthusiasm. When Lord Rosebery appeared on the course, in order to lead Ladas back to the paddock, a strong force of police was hast- ily sent to the spot in order to protect the premier from the pressure of the crowds. As it was, the policemen had all they could do to make way for the triumphant favor- ites. There was another tremendous outburst of enthusiasm as Lord Rosebery and Ladas entered the paddock together. For today, at least, the most popular man in England is the proud owner of Ladas, the winner of the Derby of 1804. Pedigree of the Winner. Ladas is a direct descendant of Whale- bone, who won the Derby for the Duke of Grafton when the latter was prime minis- ter, in 1810, Ladas is by Hampton, son of Lord Clifden, by Newminster, whose sire was Touchstone, by Camel, son of Whale- bone. Bir. John Corlett of the London Sporting Times recently referred to the ancestry of Ladas as follows: “The Newminster line Is generally con- sidered delicate, but It is long lived. The average age at death of a crack stud horse is seventeen. This, however, has been ex- ceeded by the ancestors of Ladas, Lord Clifden excepted. Whalebone broke a blood vessel and died in 1831, aged twenty-four. His son, Camel, was shot at Stockwell in 1844, aged twenty-two. His? grandson, the famous Touchstone, died at Eaion in 1861 at the patriarchal age of thirty. Touch- stone's son, Newminster, died in 1s6S at Raweliffe at twenty. His son, Lord Clif- den, was only fifteen when he died of heart disease at Wadhursi—a_ national loss. Hampton, the sire of Ladas, is by Lord Clifden, though he was foaled as far back as 1! the old fellow was still full of vigor.”” The Derby. The derby dates back to the year 1780, when Lord Derby established a great racing contest, to be run annually, at 2psom. This contest has been kept up, without interrup- tion, ever since. The first derby was won ty Diomede, the property of Sir Charles Bunbury. This his- torical race has always been looked upon, in England, #s a national fete which ts usually attended by about 100,000 people, who jour- ney to Epsom Downs in order to witness the great race. Some idea of the importance of the race may be judged from the fact that the house of commons, for many years past, has ad- journed in order to enable the members to be present at the derby. In 15¥2, however, the house refused to rise for the day, and this precedent was followed last year, and is followed egain today, although it is not expected that much business will be trans- acted by the house. The Italian Cabinet Crisis. LONDON, June 6.—The correspondent of the Times at Rome says: The cabinet was divided at the conference on the question of resigning. Premier Crisp! wanted to re- sign, but Signor Sonnino, the minister of finance, persisted that the ministry ought to remain in office until a clear vote had been taken on the financial estimates and their fate decided. It is probable that Signi Sonnino, Gen. Mocenni, the minister of war, and Signor Calenda, the minister of justic will leave the cabinet. Signor Crispi's de- fection before the anarchical minority, bodes no good to a remodeled e@abinet.| The schemes for the financial redemption of Italy may be regarded as a failure. Quiet Throughout Bulgaria. LONDON, June 6.—A dispatch to the Times from Sofia says: Perfect quiet pre- vails throughout ihe country. There is lit- tle likelihood of further disorder as long as the military continue to take the place of the police. The personnel of the local ad- ministration will be changed in many re- spects, but the government seems dete: mined to act with moderation and will make only such changes as are deemed absolutely necessary, Prevalence of Cholera. LONDON, June dispatch from Ber- lin to the Standard says: Several deaths from cholera have occurred among raftsmen near Thorn, a town of west Prussia, on the Vistula. There have also been a number of deaths from the disease at Myslowitz, Prus- sian Silesia, Semt-official telegrams report that the outbreak in Myslowitz is not of a serious character, but private dispatches assert that the public hospital at that place is crowded with cholera patients, and that many persons suffering with the disease are being accommodated at the military hos- pital. Me fen to Stambulof. LONDON, June 6.—The correspondent of the Dally News at Vienna says that the Sultan of Turkey, the Emperor of Germany, the Emperot of Austria and King Humbert of ftaly all sent messages of regret to M. Stambuloff on his retiremeat from the pre- miership of the Bulgarian ministry. American Arrested in Munich. MUNICH, June 6.—A man, who claims to be an American, was arrested in this city last night for stabbing two officers, with 1 | whon he had quarreled, in front of Nym- | phenburg Castle. Both oificers are seriously wou ded. Another Test of Dowe's Cont. LONDON, June 6.—Another private test of Herr Dowe's bullet-proof coat was inade at the Alhambra yesterday. Herr Dowe himself donned the cuirass and Cap?. Mar- tin fired two shots at it from a lee-mitford rifle, aimlug rather low. Dowe did not ap- pear to feel the shock perceptibly. ‘Then the cuirass was suspended against a sheet of plate glass and peppered all over, ten shots in all being fired. The glass’ was hardly shaken, A Times representative who was present says he then examined the cuirass and found holes in it, but no trace of splashes. He saw that the cuirass was bent both longitudinally and across. The form of the bullets, when extracted, he said, led to the cor.clusion that they certainly had not impinged a knife edge, and probably had not touched metal of any kind. They ap- peared precisely like the button of a mush- room. Rebel Success in Brazil. PARIS, June 6.—Dispatehes received here from Brazil say that the federalist bands in the province of Rio Grande do Sul have met | with successes waich have enabled them to advance. The Brazilian government has sent reinforcements of tropps into the state of Parangua. Important Raid in London, LONDON, June 6.—The police today raid- ed the premises occupied by a French anar- chist, in the Hampstead road, this city, and made a very important discovery. | Englishmen Hear: About Lynching. LONDON, June 6.—Mr. Joseph Pease, M. P., presided this morning at a breakfast, which was attended by «a number of mem- bers of parliament and their wives, in or- der to hear an address from Miss Ida Wells, colored, upon the subject of the lynching jof negroes in the southern portion of the United States. Sir Wilfred Lawson, the temperance advocate; Mr. Henry Joseph Wilson and Mr. Alfred Webb, all member: of parliament, representing the En Scotch and Irish, expressed sympath the crusade. a FORCED TO TIE UP. Lake Steamers Will Soon Be Without Coal, CHICAGO, June “nless there are mediate large shipments of coal to thi port by rail, vessel men declare the next up of a large number of steamers. ‘There is not a good day’s supply on hand, and it was asserted that the supply stored in the larger vessels would be exhausted in the next two days. Added to the general in- | ability of the steamboat companies to get | all the coal they want is the fact that the railroads over which it is cons it and appropriate it to their own use. e j only recourse the steamship companies have {fs to compel the railroad to pay for | the coal. This is small satisfaction, for the jreason that when | coal it is their intention to pay for it. They only seize it beca of their own inability to get fuel at any price, sufferers from this cause. Several large concerns in the city which had coal con- signed to them have never received it, and what is more, never will, for the reason that it had been shoveled into the box of a lccomotive long before the waybills reached its destination, In this the railroads are no respectors of persons. “They will grab coal belonging to the city of Chicago just as soon as they would that belonging to a West Side Chi- se laundryman,” “Coal to them is coal, and it makes no difference to whom it belongs.” Lake Superior ports are said to be wholly without coal. Many of the big steamers have made experiments with wood and slabs for fuel, and others have made a trial of anthracite coal. The wood and slabs have been thrown aside, and it 1s | said that many of the boats would be un- j able to keep their boilers hot with the an- thracite -article. A number are using it, however, the big packet steamers which must be kept running as long as possible constituting the larger portion of them, das?

A Pump Nutsance, The Commissioners today received a letter from Mr. J. Edw. Chapman, calling their attention to a nuisance located in front of 151 Caroline street, in the shape of a pump, which 1s operated ail night long, much to the discomfort of the residents in that vicinity. He asks that the pump be re- moved. * A Suggestion as to Hucksters. Charles W. Smiley has complained to the Commissioners of the incessant crying of hucksters on Massachusetts avenue be- tween 9th and 10th street from 7 a. m. until 8 p. m. He sugsests the adoption of the following police regulation relative to hucksters: “It shail not be permitted to sell by hawk- ing, public cries, ete., in the northwest section of the city before 7 a. m. nor after 11 a. m. of each week day. It shall not be rermitted in the northeast section before 10 a. m. nor after 3 p.m. It shall not be per- mitted in the southeast section before i2 m. por after 6 p.m. It shall not be permitted in the southwest section before 6 a. m. nor after 12 m.” ° In this or some similar manner, he says, hucksters may work all day, but cach s tion will be subject to annoyance during cnly a few hours. It is just as reasonable, he says, to restrict this howling of huck- Sters as that of the newsboys on Sunday morning after 10:30, : Walter A Stagnant Pool. The Commissioners today received a letter, through the health department, from Mr. John H. Magruder of 1417 New York | avenue, calling their attention to a stag- nant pool of water in front of his store. Health Officer Hammett reports that in the interests of public health and to save annoyance that the trench be completed | and paved without delay, Necessary for Publie Health, Health Officer Hammett certifies that the gracing of the alley in square 672, which ts urimproved, is necessary for public health and tke protection of private property. ‘Trimmings Rusting Away. L. Clephane has called the attention of the Commissioners to the condition of the iron trimmings on the cutside of the Frank- lin Sghool butiding, at 13th and K streets, which ers, apparently, rusting awa and making the building in an unsightly con- dition.

DEFENSE, | The Government's Demand to Be Resisted to the Utmost. CENTRAL PACIFIC'S DEBT dentro! 2 eae Bo SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.—The claim for $15,000,000 filed against the Stanford estate by Attorney General Olney as a preliminary | step to force the government claim against | the original holders of the Central Pacific grant, has caused the greatest excitement. it is now learned that the government's claim was presented May 26, but that an attempt was made to keep the proceedings secret in order that the financial operations of the estate need not be embarrassed. The late’ Senator Stanford's estate was recently appraised at $17,600,000, Since the appraise- ment heavy obligations have been met and it is stated now that the enforcement of the government claim would practically wipe out the estate, not only leaving the widow penniless,but cutting off all the beneficiaries under the late Senator's will, including the endowment of $2,500,0U0 to the Stanford University. It is even said that the estate, after the liquidation of its acknowledged debts, may | | government. | In this everit Senator Stan-| ford’ deed of trust, under which Stanford | University was founded, would not stand, in case the decision of the court would be in | favor of the government, and the univers- | ity would necessarily be sacrificed to sat- isfy the judgment. Mrs. Stanford, in an interview, has stated that the government's claim will be resist- ed to the fullest extent of her ability. She regards the proceedings in the nature of a | test case, and was not surprised at the fil- ing of the claim. Further than these state- ments she would not talk An idea of the probable defense was given last night by Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Stanford's torney. In an interview he said: The opinion of the Attorney General of | the United States is enutled to a great deal | of consideration, but he is proceeding on a | wrong assumption. I am free to say that 1| | don’t think the government will ever be | able to collect anything from the estate of | the late Leland Stanford. The government | issued the bonds in the construction of the | Central Pacitic railroad, but neither Mr. | Stanford nor any one else ever agreed to! pay the government back. The bonds op- | | erate on a second mortgage. It is not a| | debt, and while the Attorney General is | perfectiy right that in California the mem- bers of a corporation are personally re- sponsible for the debts of the corporation, | he is wrong in assuming that the mortgage is a debt. You can’t compel a man to pay a mort- | Gage. If I borrow $1,000 on a piece of prop- | | erty valued at $500, the holder of the mort- | gage can’t compel me to pay it when it be- comes due. He can foreclose the mortgage | | and take the property, and that is all. So in this case of the Central Pacitic Railroad Company. The government holds a second | mortgage on the company’s property of | $60,000,000, The government, by paying the first mortgage of $60,000,000, can foreclose | | the second mortgage and get control of the road. But it is not to be presumed that the | United States would care to expend $120,- 000,000 to get control of a railroad that ea | be built for one-third that amount. | Wim. F. Harris, the railroad company’s | | chief counsel, gave a similar expression of | opinion. Neither of these lawyers, how- ever, enters inio discussion of the aliega- | tion offered by Congressman Maguire and others loudest in the demand for prosecu- tion of the claims against C. P. Hunting- ton and the Stanford, Crocker, Searles and other estates. Today is the last day, under the law, which Mrs. Stanford has to accept or re- Ject the government's claim. It is believed she will simply fgnore the claim, which, in law, amounts to rejection. It will then be in order for the government to institute suit, either in the United States courts or the superior court in San Francisco. Attorney General Olney’s claim was filed in the probate court in San Francisco be- fore Judge Coffey, where the Stanford estate is now undergoing settlement. —_—---— PUBLIC BUILDING BILLs. Those Which Have Been Passed on by the House Committee. | The remarkable record of the Fifty-secoad | Congress, wherein no bill appropriating | money for the erection of a public buildiag was able to run the gauntlet of economizers, is not likely to be repeated this sesston. Owing to the necessity for two or three | buildings in Washington for the purposes of j the general government the committee on public buildings was delayed in reaching the consideration of proposals for buildings of merely local importance. Since it has been at work upon the minor bills, of which there | are many, the committee has made a fair | record of approvais, and now has reporzed | to the House in favor of the erection of | fourteen post office and revenve buildings, | ranging In cost from $0,000 to $100,000. There have been introduced this session and | referred to the committee bills for about 150/ public buildings, cr for improvements to Standing structures. But a small propor-| tion of them have been considered by the! committee yet, and it is not probable that! Chairman Bankhead will give this Congress an opportunity to equal the record of the Fifty-first, in which nearly 100 new govern- ment bufldings were started, some of them costly and important enterprises. The New Government Printing Office. Of the larger projects which the commit- tee has passed upon the most important is its vote to erect a new government printing | office, to succeed the present dangerous and _ crowded ramshackle affatr, which has been | condemned as a menace to life by the last two public printers. For this the committee | decided to recommend $300,000 for purchas- | ing land, and $1,500,000 for the building it- | self, but the contention over the site is still | in progress, with small prospects of an agreement between the House and Senate. The House committee agreed also to the Senate bill for a hall of public records, has voted to complete the New York appraiser's warehouse, which had been temporarily roofed afver two stories were fintshed, to the originally intended height of ten stories, at a cost of $1,700,000, and to erect a ten. | story post of In ‘Chicago. A $50,000 | | addition to the pub! building of Fort | | Worth, Texas, has been agreed upon, and | the following bills for nsw. buildings have | heen reported favorably: For Elgin, UL, | 7: Little Rock, Ark., $9,000; Selina, | w; Newport, + $100,000 $50,000; Brunswick, Texas, $40,000; Watertown, $50,000; Cumberland, Md., $100,000; Altoona, | Pa., $100,000; Daves Sono; Hele- | na, Mont., '$80,000. $100,000: | | Owensboro’, K 0, and Oakland, While the time for the c Tampa, Fla., $100,- | $100,000, AS not yet given any | tion of building bills, | the committee will endeavor to secure time | for its business as soon as some of the | more important matters before the House are disposed of.

Lieut. Vernon said he would not act in the absence of Capt. Austin, who en- gaged before the police trial board, and the commonwealers will make their appli- cation to Capt.

The Nominee of the Kansas Kepubli- cans for Governo: TOPEKA, ‘Kan., June 6—Major Morrill, who will be nominated for ¢ by the republican convention tod been closely associated with the hi Kansas since the territorial days, and tas been frequently honored by the peop! He has not only been successful in the dicld of politics, but he has, as a business man amassed a comfortable for- tune. He was born in Cumberland county, Maine, February 12, 18H. He was eda cated in the Westbrook Acadeny, and de- veloped into a school teacher, after having learned the trade of 2 tanner. He moved to Kansas in 1857, 3rown county, at the town of Ham and erected a saw mill. He was M sympathizer with the free state party, in 1857 was elected to represent Prown Nemaha counties in the first fre lestslature that ever met in the state, and ook a conspicuous part in bogu: law that had been nacted non-residents, the purpose of which was prevent the crowth of the free state par: and to ald in the perpetuation of slavery. In January, 1858, Mr. Morrill was ctected a member of the legislature under the Lecompton constitution. During all of the exciting political bat- that period Morrill continued to cperate his saw mill. When the war broke out he was one of the first to enlist. the “th of October, 164, he was mustered E by to out with the rank of major, by brevet, for | meritorious conduct. He returned to Erown county and made his home at Hiawatha, where he has resided ever since. He at first engaged in @ general mercantile business, and in Is71 established a bank. In 3882, when the state Was given four additional Congressmen, he was elected one of the four Congressmen-at- large. After the reapportionment of the state he was elected three successive terms from the first district, and refused a re- nomination in 18W. While in Concress he Was an authority on pension matters, and the present pension law bears hie nam being known as the Morrill bill. The ad- vent of the populists and the calamity wail they sent-forth resulted in bringing Major Morrill again into public life. In 1sv2 his friends prevailed upon him at a laie day to candidate for governor before the republican state convention, and he re- luctantly entered the canvass. He was beaten by @ small majority in the conv: tion, and his successful opponent, Smith, was in turn defeated at th Hi | Should Major Morrill be elected governor his friends claim that he will be a ndi- date for United States Senator to succeed Senator Peffer in January, 1897.

Morrill of Hia- watha, ex-Congressman, is inevitable with- out the formality of a ballot, though the name of George Martin also be presenied. There are six candidates for lieutenant governor, eight for veeretary of state, ten for auditor, three for attorney general, four for superintendent of public instruction and four for Congressman-at-large. The nomination of W. A. Johnson for as- Sociate justice will be made by acclamation. _— — THE COURTS, Equity Court No. 1—Judge Cox. Levy vs. Oppenheimer; appearance of ab- sent defendant ordered.

I have yet to find a man who doesn’t wish to be rich, but I have always felt | ecurious to know how it feels to be a mil- |Monaire. The opportunity of getting an answer to this question presented itself to | me one day, says a writer in the Chicago | Dispatch, and the maa to whom I address- ed the question was rone other than Geo, M. Pullman, who is worth $50,000,000 at leest, who has made fortunes for others, and who has no one to thank for his sue cess but himself. Mr. Pullman looked at me very curously as I asked the question, and then replied jin a slow way: “I have never thought of that, but now that you mention it, I be- lieve that I am no better off—certainly no !happier—than I was when I didn’t have @ dollar to my name, and had to work from | duylight until dark. I wore a good suit of Gothing then, and I can only wear one rew, Tor 4 three meals a day then @ ‘ gcod deal ¥ 1 do three meals a day row.

And yet it is a comfortable feeling to be rich. | And with that h brttoned up his frock at around his snug form, slowly walked wn the hotel steps, painfully crowded way into a coupe and was driven off, In his younger days he would have walked end would have been better for it. ~ se of Mew Frem the Pittsbu: Dispatch. “Talking to one’s self is generally consid. ered a sign of a weak bfain,” said a doctor | yesterday, “but nothing could be a greater mistake, It is a sign of an extremely active | brain.
