Cempetent Jockeys Sadly Needed for the Approaching St. Asaph Meeting. Owners of stables quartered at the St. Asaph course of the Virginia Jockey Club are beginning to wynder how they can win races at the approaching spring meeting with stable bey jockeys, says a Washing- ton special to the New York Herald. Un- less Taral and Doggett come down trom New York the track cannot boast of a jockey above the third class. When the meeting begins Willie Sims will be either in England or en route to join the Dwyer-Croker contingent there, Grittin and Bergen at San Francisco and a majority of the lesser lights at New Or- Jeans, or with their stables, getting ready for the western campaign. One owner wrote to Jockey John Lamly, at Passaic, N.J., making him a first-rate offer for his services the closing fortnight in March. Lamly declined on the score that he would be obliged to report for duty with the Ruppert string at Nashville Teun., March 1. It is said that “Jimmi Leamly, who was not allowed to ride in California, and is now at Babylon, L.1., will be claimed by ‘Lucky’? Baldwin, in the event of his securing a license, and not permitted to come here even as an exercise boy. fad the Old Dominion Jockey Club ob- tained recognition from the western turf congress the Virginia’s patrons could have drawn upon such clever boys as ‘Taylor, Ham, Murphy, Donnelly, Yetter, Burns and Dwyer, but, as the Old Dominion is still outlawed, there can be no reliet trom this quarter. Secretary Tompkins of the Old Dominion is authority for the statement that as yet no date compromise has been arranged by representatives of the rival clubs. He says that his club will resume racing March 1. Owners who stabled at St. Asaph during the winter and raced at Alexander island have been ordered to remove their horses from the Virginia Club's grounds. it is probable that a stable of jumpers, includ- 4ng Grand Prix, imp. Bones, Walcott, Gon- zales and Bobolink, will be organized at Alexander island, schcoled and sent to Hawthorne in May. THE NEW YORK RACING BILL. Hearing Before n Committee of the Legisinture. At a committee hearing on the racing bill at Albany, N. Y., yesterday, Anthony Comstock opposed the measure. He said the bill was not in the line of respectable legislation, and its one idea was to evade the constitution and allow the boss gam- bler to still fleece the public. Shaking his fist at the gathering of rac- ing men, Mr. Comstock said: “Shame on those respectable men, who, for a little money, will wreck homes and the happi- ness of women and children.” Mr. August Belmont of New York sai that it was unnecessary for him to say that if the bill permitted anything like the abuses related by Mr. Comstock he would not cume forward to speak in favor of it. He believed it would be unconstitutional to, by statute, make gambling possible, and that answered all of Mr. Comstock’s ar- gument, for an unconstitutional bill would be of no avail. The jockey club he repre- sented had made racing respectable and honest, and was not now trying, as wad alleged, to make it again disreputable. . John M. Bowers, as counsel for the Coney Island Jockey Club, went into a de- fense of the legal rights of the race track owners and breeders and the constitution- al status of the Dill. ‘The hearing was adjourned for weeks. two Orioles’ Preliminary Games. The Baltimore Base Ball Club will leave there March 11 for Macon, Ga., arriving the next morning. The team will at once go into practice and work for eight days.

Willison of Cumber- land, Md., the newly elected president cf the League of American Wheelmen, says: “In the coming year I feel convinced that the league membership, which is now 26,000, will be increased to fully 40,000, and I will not consider that I have faithfully ac- complished my part of the wark if all bills are not paid and we have nbt a good cash balance in the treasury The Colonels Go South. The Colonels left Louisville on their southern trip iast night at midnight. All the players have reported except O’Brien, Hatfield and Gettinger, who will join the team at New Orleans, and Knell and Berchers, who will report for duty at Houston, Tex., where the team will train for six w . The team will go direct to New Orleans and play three games there before going on to Houston. The games tor Birmingham and Montgomery, Ala., have been called off. The Columbias’ Smoker.

Youree, president of the township trustees, power to act in the matter, Mr. Youree declaring no smallpox to exist at the track, and giving permission at once for the re- sumption of racing.

From the Honolulu Advertiser, Feb. Sth. It having come to ur knowledge that malicious and preposterous statements are being manufactured tO abroad of ill- trevtment of the prisorersin Oahu jail, we have made personal thyvestigation of the facts, and although nd person of sense here would for a moment believe such state- ments ‘as are alluded to,:and their refuta- tion is not required in this community, we wish to inform our féreign readers that there is absolutely no, truth in any such reports, no matter from what source they emanate. : Although the better Element of the com- munity take no notice of these floating lies, in view of the statements: which might be sent abroad, a representative of the Adver- tiser interviewed Marshal ;Hitchcock and a number of citizens thoroughly conversant with the treatment of sthe political prig: oners, to learn the facts in the case. Marshal Hitchcock said: ‘There is no truth whatever in these stories about thumbscrews, putting on ice and in tubs of water. Some of the men, whom we learned from no™less than two witnesses had a knowledge of the location of rifles and revolvers were put in dark cells. Without exception these men have come out and given information by which the officers were enabled to go to the place designated and capture arms and ammuni- tion. One man confessed his knowledge and directed the officers to a place where five revolvers, with ample ammunition, were found. “Putting In the dark cell {s a regular mode of prison punishment. Some have remained in close confinement not more than one hour, and the longest any one has been kept in the cell was forty-eight hours; in only one instance was a man confined that length of time. No more than ten have ever seen the inside of the dark cell. They have been allowed the regular diet of bread and water, and as large a quantity as they desired. “Yes, I have heard ‘the stories of men being packed in ice and put in big tubs of water and threatened with, drowning. The fact is, the allowance of ice at the prison 1s but five pounds a day—hardly enough for a man to sit on, much less be packed. As for tubs of water, we haven’t any tubs large ‘enough to carry out the methods said to have been pursued. “The whole story is false from beginning to end. We're civilized if we are’ under martial law.” —_—+e+—___—_ THE GREATER NEW YORK. It is to Have Three Millions Popula- tion, New York Cor, Philadelphia Press, ‘There is now no longer any dout that the legislature will very soon clinch the vote of the people, declare the consolidation of New York and the outlying districts done, ard appoint a commission to prepare a charter. This legislation will not be sub- mitted to the people for approval, as It Is very properly reasoned that they expressed approval when they voted for consolidation in November. The measure which will pass will undoubtedly provide for the re- tention of Andrew H. Green and his asso- ciates of the pres2nt commission, and will add to it the mayors of New York and Brooklyn, and from that body the new charter must come. The chief fact of ‘m- portance, however, just now is this, that consolidation itself is effected. The mo- ment this bill is signed by the governor the greater New York is established. The dif- ferent districts included in the consolida- tion, like Brooklyn, Jamaica and other towns, will continue tp exercise their local powers just as now.

Suspended by a Labor Union, Frederick C. Chandler, builder and con- tractor, has been suspended from Car- penters’ Union, No. 1, for a term of twenty years. The action of plaging Mr. Chandler on the blacklist was not accomplished without a warm fight. Several of his friends opposed the suspension. The trouble resulted from affidavits filed by Thomas F. Towles, Joseph Sholes, William Dargie, Joseph J. Caylor, journeymen car- penters; Charles Fentroy, watchman, and Miles Denson, laborer, all late employes of Mr. Chandler, charging certain irreg ities In the matter of pay.

Herbert on Drunkenness Among Officers. Upon the recommendation of the judge advocate general, Secretary Herbert has placed Lieutenant Commander F. W. Crocker upon probation for one year. ‘The officer, last October, came up for examina- tion for promotion,” but the decision of the board was adverse, on the ground that he was given to habits of intoxication. The olticer pleaded that» he was not given op- portunity to meet this charge, and, another examination being ordered, he passed. Then the question arose as to approving the last report, and the Secretary, taking into consideration the testimony that the ofticer had reformed his habits, and his many good qualities, has given a proba- tionary appdintment. Secretary Herbert, in reviewing the case for presidential action, made the following comment re- garding naval drunkenness: “Boards of examination should clearly understand that drunkenness at any time and under any circumstances is inhibited by the law and the regulations of the nav: It is not true, as was contended in this case, that the government is not concerned about the habits of a naval officer in his home, in his club or at the house of a friend. ‘fhe time has passed for consider- ing drunkenness on convivial occasions a vice in which naval officers can indulge with impunity. The kabit of drunkenness on duty or off duty is one that, like other habits, seizes upon and eventually controls the victim. It is true that there may be degrees of criminality in this regard. Drunkenness on duty is properly- recognized in the regulations as a more heinous of- fense than when off duty, but a command- ing officer at sea is practically always on duty, and he certainly has no hours in which he could indulge in this habit. Nor is it to be permitted, either on or off duty, that a naval officer anywhere shall become intoxicated. It undoubtedly is a sufficient ground for the refusal of promotion if it shall appear that an officer is in the habit of becoming intoxicated at any time or un- der any circumstances.” ——+-e+____—_ JUMPED TO SAVE THEIR LIVES. Workmen in the Eighth Story of a Burning Building. Fire broke out in Arbuckle Brothers’ big coffee mills, at John and Jay streets and the East river, Brooklyn, yesterday after- noon, and it was not until night that the firemen succeeded in getting the fire under control. The fire started in the largest of the three buildings occupied by the firm. It was an eight-story building and abuts on the river. The flames shut off the retreat of eight men who were at work on the eighth floor. Ladders were put up, but would only reach to the seventh flocr. Six of the men who were on the eighth floor procured a rope, down which they slid to the top of the ladder and then made their way to the ground. The other two men ran to the Secretary roof, and finding all other means of es- cape cut off jumped down two stories to the roof of the six-story building adjoining. They were Joseph Smith and D. B. Carr. Both men fractured bones in the ankles. They were taken to the street by firemen and sent to the city hospital. Foreman Wallace, who gave the alarm, was badly burned about the face and hands. The height of the building made it hard work for the firemen to put out the fire, and the three upper stories of the eight- story building were burned out before the fire was under control. During the progress of the fire several of the big cylinders used for roasting cof- fee exploded. The other buildings occupied by the firm are six and four-story struc- tures, used mainly for storage. Their con- tents were considerably damaged by water. Superintendent Kell stated that the loss, In his opinion, would be about $300,000. SRE een Acts Approved.
