Berclair Wins the Tennessee Derby in Fast Time. ——_+_____ COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS Virginia Constable Chasing Balti- more Base Ball Players. ed JOCKEY CLUB STARTING RULE ee ~ The Tennessee derby was won yesterday at Memphis by Dr. McLean's brown geld- ing Berclair. The Hot Springs stable’s pair, Lady Inez and Ben Eder, were held as strong favorite’, the prevailing odds be- ing 4 to5 on. Berclair ani Rookwood were rext in demand at 7 to 2, while liberal odds were offered against Cotton King, Damien aad Gretchen S., wko composed the fleld. The new starting machine was used in the first and second events with fair suc- cess, but the owners of the derby candi- Gates requested Starter Caldwell to send them away with his flag in the old famil- iar style. The start was a good one. Ber- clair immediately jumped to the front, and ridden in faultiess style by Thorpe, re- mained there to the end, winning without whip or spur by a length and a halt. The time, 1:55%, is the Tennessee derby record, the best previous performance be- ing that of Fandango, 1.59%, in last year’s Tace. c. U. ATHLETIC SOCIATION. Officers Elected and Organization Effected. The athletic association of the Colum- bian University was fairly launched last’ evening, officers being elected and the or- ganization being put upcn a firm basis. The students met in the post-graduate hall, and the faculty of the college, the alumni, the foot ball, base ball and track associa- tions were well represented. Mr. Phelps was made temporary chair- man, and the meeting them proceeded to business, after installing Mr. Barrett tem- porary secretary. The following officers were elected: President, Reeve-Lewis; sec- retary and treasurer, Mr. Johnson; board of governors, Mr. Mills, representing the base ball interests; Mr. Scott, the track team, and Mr. Parks, the foot ball associa- tion. Those who were present at the meet- ing included President Whitman, Prof. Montague, Prof. Hening, Mr. Martin and Messrs. Johnson, Cabrera, Sener, Schade, Fugitt, Barrett, Moore, Campbell, Ward, Davis ‘and other students interested in the athletic welfare of the university. A Constable After the Orioles. A constable went to Norfolk yesterday from Petersburg, and, accompanied by a local policeman, appeared at the hotel to serve warrants upon Doyle, Kelley and Brodie. He was greatly disappointed at not finding them there or at the game in the afternoor, which he attended. Doyle and Kelley left Norfolk Wednesday ane for Baltimore, and Brodie left last night. Doyle is charged with participating in the fight at the Petersburg base ball park, and Kelley and Brodie are charged with as- saulting Mr. Junie Quarles at the Appo- mattox Hotel just before the team left for Norfolk. Jockey Club Rule for Starting. At the regular monthly meeting of the Jockey Club yesterday in New York the following amendments were made: to the rules: Rule 102—“The horses shall be started as far as possible in a line, but may be start- ed at such reasonable distance behind the starting post as the starter thinks neces- sary, but this shall not preclude the use of any starting device approved by the Jockey ub. Rule 29, which stricken out: “The clerk of the scales shall always put two pounds extra into the scales to prove that the horse has not carried too much weight.” reads as follows, is J. H. U. to Meet Colambian. The Johns Hopkins Base Ball Team will play their return game with the Columbian University at the Maryland Athletic Club’s oval, in Baltimore, this afternoon. The Columbian University won the first game, 9 to 6 “Practice of the Senators. Without any preliminary practice what- soever the base ball team of the Washing- ton Light Infantry Corps yesterday lined up against the Washington Club, and play- ed seven innings in the presence of a small gathering. The amateurs were, of course, ro match for the professionals, and those who are partial to free hitting were satis- fied. Mercer and McGuire, Gilroy and Mc- Cauley did battery work for the league team, while on pitched the entire game for the Infaniry, Bishop and Nichols dividing tne work behind the bat. Rogers was stationed at third base for Washing- ton, and Lush, during the latter part of the game, at second. The score was 2S to 4. Bicycles and Boxing. The bill making it obligatory upon rail- roads to carry bicycles free if a release for damage is given was passed by the New Ycrk assembly Wednesday—ayes, 127; noes, 1. The bill was immediately taken over to the senate, where it passed—36 to 4. The senate also passed the assembly bill which forbids sparring exhibitions except under the auspices of legally organized athletic clubs. There was no opposition to this measure. Base Ball Notes. Several of the Colonels are kicking in re- gard to Manager McCloskey’s edict calling for the removal of all itirsute adornments from the faces of his players. The regular catchers for the New York club this season have been fixed upon. The selections are Farrell, Wilson and Zear- foss. Four men on the Louisville team are re- ported ill, and there is almost a panic among the Colorels owing to the near ap- proach of opening day. Anson is said to be feeling unusually blue, owing to the fact that his regulars are in peor condition. ‘The outlook for the pennant is not over-brilliant in the actor- player’s estimation. “Ducky”? Helmes’ collar bone, which he recently broke, is mending fast, it is said, and the plucky little man will be ready to play again in two weeks. Louisville is, in consequence, happy. News comes from Baltimore that Mc- Graw, the third baseman and star runner of the Baltimores, is even more danger- cusly ill than was at first reported. His physic’ans say that it is certain he will be unable to play ball for at least two months, and may not be able to enter the field dur- ing the season. Donnelly will take Mc- Graw’s place at third. Phanmiiler is the appropriate name of the Norfolk pitcher who shut out Boston the other day. There is corsiderable excitement among York base ball cranks over the proposed signing of Jack Milligan of Reading as the marager of the York club. The matter will be decided at a meeting tonight of the York Base Ball Association. The Syracusg club of the Eastern League is booked to appear at National Park this afternoon. Its players include Carey, formerly of Baltimore; Egan, once a St. Louis Brown; Reilly, formerly the crack Philadelphia infielder, and other players with records.

The Queer Whcelmen gave a very en- joyable smoker last evening at quarters, No. 510 llth street, which was attended by a select number of wheelmen. The room was well provided with tables and chairs for the convenience of among being Messrs. Paul F. Grove, Charles Fitz- gerald, Jemes Anderson, William R. Wild, R. B. Clokey, F. A. L. le, Frank.

ATHENS, April 10.—In the long-distance foot race today. from Marathon to Athens, about 48 kilometers, for a cup offered by M. Michael Brea}! of the Institute of France, the first three to cross the finish line were Greeks. ‘There were twenty competitors entered, and the favorites were Flack, the Aus- tralian; Arthur Blake of the Boston Ath- letic Club; Lermusiax, a Frenchman, and Laurentis, a Greek. The Americans competed in the gymnas- tic exhibition on the rings, parallel bars, horse leaping ard team work, which were the features of the Olympic games at Ath- ens, Greece, yesterday. On the rings the Greeks won their first victory and the na- tive audience went wild with enthusiasm. Hyattsville’s Strong Nine. Hyattsville will be represented during the coming season by the strongest base ball team ever organized in that section of Maryland. Some of the candidates now under training are Duffy of the Maryland Agricultural College, Boyle of Randolph Macon, Richardson of Gettysburg, Sny- der of Media College, Leech of Dickin- son, Fuller of the Maryland Agricultural College, Harris, Leakin, Habercom of Roanoke College and Holden. The club will shortly arrange a schedule of games with the leading college teams in the state. Fuller will do the pitching, with Duffy at the receiving end of the battery. Hyattsville now holds the championship of the state, having defeated Rockville last year for that hon : peas Wega, DISTRICT WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS. The Course of Women Abrond and at Home Discusssed. There was an interesting meeting of the Woman's Suffrage Association of the Dis- trict of Columbia last night at the Riggs House. Routine business was transacted, and addresses were made by Miss Gurst and Miss Thomas. Among things discussed was the idea of having a woman's congress in Washington in May, at which the ladies of the diplomatic contingent would be in- vited to attend and tell what was being done in other countries for the advance- ment of woman. The concert to be given under the auspices of the association at Metzerott’s, April 28, was also a subject of consideration. The object is to raise $1,000 to complete the payment on the busts of Mrs. Stanton, Miss Anthony and Lucretia Mott. The social evil was also discussed, and Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens advanced tho suggestion that the erring unfortunates of the Division be hung after the manner of Tess in Hardy's “Tess of the D'Urbervilles.” Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby, speaking of the timidity of Mr. Howells’ heroines in the presence of a mouse, said: “I wish Howells was here tonight to see us and hear us talk, as examples of the strong women of today. A mouse has been running ail over thi: reom tonight and we are not the least dis. turbed.” The meeting adjourned in five minutes, to meet in the same place April 23. a WOMAN'S RELIEF Corrs AIDs.

The death penalty was imposed this morn- ing in the Police Court in a case involving the dangerous character of “Irish Pat.” This is the name of John McCarthy’s bull terrier, and Mr. George W. Ryder, propri- etor of the Dupont stables, complained that the canine’s teeth had inflicted in his leg a painful wound. “Irish Pat” has been a fighter in his time, and at the time of his attack on Mr. Ryder he had but one eye. It was about five weeks ago when the livery stable keeper and the dog met in Harris Nixcn’s harness store. Mr. Ryder was anxious to see the dog, and when he started to make an examination of him the animal turned and made the attack, inflict- ing a horrible wound cn his leg.” Fortu- rately, McCarthy was there and he pulled off the dog befere he had done injury cal- culated to cause the lozs of the leg. Lawyer Carrington appeared in court as the canine’s champion, and endeavored to show that Mr. Ryder’s conduct was an in- vitaticn to the canine to make the attack. Judge Kimball said he thought that Mr. Ryder was not entirely blameless in the matter, although the evidence showed con- clusively that the dog was dangerous. The dog was not in court, but McCarthy said he could produce him. “I shall order the dog killed,” said the court, “and if he is not killed a fine of $10 will have to be paid.” “Tl have him killed,” said his owner. Policeman Jack said that he would exe- cute the death penalty if McCarthy would bring him to the station at 2:30 this after- noon, and the owner said he would have the dog there at the time stated to be executed. The Spencerian Esthte Settled. Yesterday afternoon a contract of settle- thent of the estate of Henry C. Spencer, de- ceased, was signed and all the bondsmen releesed. There were differences of opinion on important points, furnishing a chance for an interminable law suit, in which a large New York publishing house would have taken part, but mutual generous con- cessions resulted in a peaceful adjustment of all claims and a ful! satisfaction and re- lease of all demands, In settlement the youngest son, Henry C. Speicer, jr., who attained his majority Feb- ruary 14, gives'in cash to his father’s beau- tiful monument in Glenwood and to the Spencer memorial window in the New Church Temple $1,000, which is one-half their entire cost. The entire amount for which Mrs. Spen- cer as executrix, trustee, guardian, residu- ary legatee and individual owner, was re- sponsible was, at a fair valuation, $76,700. Notwithstanding the general depression in business, it has increased rather than di- minished in value. Her bondsmen say the administration has been admirable and ex- traordinary, in view of the condition of business in the country. They are Mr. J. Ormond Wilson, Wm. Ballantyne, F. W. Pratt and Gen. G. Swann. ——__ A Pharmnceutical Exhibition. The Department of State has been noti- fied by the Austro-Hungarian minister. at Washington that an international pharma- ceuticai exhibition will be held at Prague, Bohemia, in the month of August of this year. ANOTHER SOHWDARY DISPUTE. This Time It is Between Chile the Argentine Republic. “There are tndicatfons of an active revival of the long-pending boundary dispute be- tween Chile and the Argentine Republic, involving the possession of a portion of Terra del Fuego, x Land of Fire, and a long strip of the Patagonian desert. It is even asserted thatt the ¢ontroversy bids fair to result in n hostilities between the two countries, in which event the United States may_find it opportune to again exercise its influence for concilla- tion, as it did inlcd similar stage of the trouble about fiftetm years ago. According to latest advices,;jppth countries are in- creasing their sta 1g armies and are ne- gotiating for addi! al warships. The trouble dates back to 1843, when Chile took possessién of the best harbor in the Straits of Magellan and established a penal colony there. The Argentine gov- ernment entered a vigorous protest against the course of its neighbor, and diplomatic notes have been exchanged over a series of years. In 1881 an agreement was reached for the submission of the controversy to the ar- bitrament of two diplomatic representa- tives of the United States—Thomas O. Os- borne of Chicago, who was mmister at Buenos Ayres, and Thomas A. Osborne of Kansas, who was minister at Santiago. They studied the evidence and heard the arguments, and deeided that the peaks of the Andes should make the dividing line as far as the straits, and “Fire Land” was split in halves, Neither nation was satis- fied, but both accepted the verdict, and a joint commission was appointed to make a survey and erect monuments. “But it was not long before the commission got into a controversy which, suspended operations, and the two governments have been quar- reling ever since. It is said that Argentina wants to sub- mit the question to a second arbitration, but that Chile is not willing to do so. Un- less an amicable settlement of the ques- tion can be speedily arranged, through the good offices of the United States or some other friendly power, it is pessible that the two South American republics may attempt a settlement by force of arms. a SPEED OF THE KATAHDIN. The Trial Yesterday Was an Unex- pected Succe: The final speed trial of the Katahdin yes- terday, over a thirty-six-knot course, was an unexpected success, and the naval board will report the boat as one of the most effi- cient pieces of naval warfare in Uncle Sam's ravy.. With tidal corrections, the average speed attained by the boat was fifteen knots per hour. ‘The Katahdin left New London, Conn., at 8:15, and went over a course from a point off Saybrook light to a point off Stratford light. The vessel started across the line at 10:20, under a natural draught. At 11 o'clock the forced draught was put on, and under this the boat was run for an hour. For the first five minutes of forced draught on the westward run the ram made a knot and a half. On the run to westward the average speed was thirteen knots. The wind and tide were unfavorable, the former being dead ahead. The coal'on board was very poor, and proved another great disad- vantage. On the return run the start was made at 1:37, and at 2 o'clock the forced draught was again put on. For an hour the Katah- din cut through the water at the rate of 16! knots. The return run averaged 15 knots, and with tia! torrections this will be about average spesdiof the run. After the speed tris] the tactical diameter test was made. ‘Phils consists of turning the boat in as small 4'¢itcuit as possible. Threc tests were made,/With the screws and helm in different positiohs-ench time. These were satisfactory. Thg,ram returned to port at 7 o'clock. The board will make its report at once, and the boat will probably return to the Brooklyn navy ‘ard tomorrow, FOR REFORM F The Leader of, the § Outlines His Ideas. The Madrid cotrespondent of the Phila- delphia Press telékrajilis that paper that he visited Senor Sagasty yesterday, since his new program of reforms Is creating an im- mense sensation. )In seply to my questions the'great liberal leader, said: “I cannot tell precisely what would be the extent of the wide reforms which the Lbera] party would give to Cuba, but this will form a new program for my party. We must study and discuss the question ma- turely. “I can, however, say in advance that ex- tension of new reforms will depend chiefly on the conduct of the United States. If the United Stites lets Spain alone she will do her duty, and the Iberal party will take care she dces. We would then grant to Cuba much larger reforms than what is generally thcught, and certainly much larger than if the United States interfered. “If, however, the United States interferes with advice, however friendly it may be, I can promise nothing, because we cannot eecept even the suspicion of being imposed on. “It Is, therefore; a pity that the govern- ment has not applied, in Porto Rico at least, the reforms voted by the Spanish cortes, as these could have served as an ex- periment and showed to what extent we could grant wider Mberties. “It is also a pity that the government has not applied a reduction of customs tar- ifr in Cuba and Pcrto Rico, of which cortes voted authorization. In fact, the govern- ment Fas not done anything. “I consider a reduction of the customs tariffs as important as the reforms them- selves. The government has indeed yielded on this point fo certain exigencies in Bar- celona for protectionist manufacturers.” ee ae Post Office Department Supplies. The Post Office Department has adver- tised that the opening of bids to furnish gen- eral supplies for the postal service and the Post Office Department and miscellaneous supplies for the department will take place ‘Thursday afternoon, May 7, next. The con- tracts are yearly one: pate Sea Naval Intelligence Officer. Lieut. Commander Richard Wainwright has been relieved from duty in the hydro- graphic office and assigned to duty as chief of the office of naval intelligence, as the relief of Commander Singer, who has been ordered to duty at sea. PUGET SOUND DRY DOCK. The Navy Department Has Been No- tified of Its Completion. The Navy Department is informed of the completion of the naval dry dock at Port Orchard, Puget sound, and arrangements are being made to test its capacity and strength by placing in it the coast defense ship Monterey, which has been ordered north from San Francisco for that express purpose. The new dock is several feet longer and deeper than any yet built for the government, and can be utilized by the largest ships of the navy at all stages of the tide. It was begun three years ago, and has cost the government over $600,000. It is lo- cated about one hundred miles from the sea, and is reached through a tortuous channel from Puget sound of great depth. It has a total length of 670 feet at the top and 573 feet on the floor, with a depth of 39 feet, and a width of 67 feet on the floor and 130 feet at the top. At mean high tide the depth of water over the sill is 30 feet, which 13 increased to 32 feet at unusually high tide. Its great width gives ample space for the admission of the broadest vessel ever constructed. It is several feet longer and deeper and has at least five feet more water over the sill than the new gov- ernment dock at Port Royal, on the Atlan- tic coast, in which the battle ship Indiana was docked. Unlike that structure, how- ever, it is not subject to the stage of the tide for the reception of vessels of great draught. Another feature of the Port Or- chard dock Is that it is the only dock in the country having a masonry entrance and a timber interior. It will _be of great value to the warships on the Pacific station. Robberies Reported. Mary E.

Many times I have been ys with no evacuation of bowels whatever, and the pain and sense of heaviness at such times has been inost intense. I tried over thirty different advertised remedies,but still the distress continued to increase rather than to diminish, At last I saw an n “Ripans Tabules’ in a magazine that came * to my study (the Homiletic Review, I belleve) and at once secured a Package of the Tabules, and began taking them according ‘o directions given thereon. I shortly began to have full, regular and painless evacuations; my sleep became sweeter and more resting, appetite increased, and within a few weeks ‘the trouble entirely left me, and no relapse has thus far taken place and none is anticipated. 1 regard myself as having been entirely cured by Ripans Tubules, or Tablets. My mother, also, Mrs. Sarah L. Budlong, has been cured of a like trouble and by same means. I sincerely hope the sales will increase to that extent that every family in the land will nse this remedy for this distressing and dangerous complaint. (Signed) REV. C. JAMES BUDLONG.” Ripans Tabules are sold by drugzists, or by if the price (0 cents a box) is sent to The Chemical Company, No. 10 Spruce st., New York. Sample vial. 10 cents. ‘The Finest Quality. 27C.
