FIRST OUTLAW RACES Prominent Professional Cyclists Come to Washington. THE REVOLT AGAINST THE L. A. W. Contests on the Park Bicycle Club Track. CURRENT SPORTING ——__+-__ NOTES The first “outlaw cycle races in the ent npaign against the League of erican Wheelmen control of professional racers will prob be held in this city o'clock. The event ble attention all over . The crusade which began last week ‘ainst the league by the leading riders of the country and the national circuit has culminated in the perfecting of the organ- ization known as the American Racing Cyel Union, of which E. C. Bald, the well-known rider, is the president. The membe! of this organization are bound not to ride again at any race meets which are run under the rules of the League of American Wheelmen. This is the begin- ning of an offensive war, and not a defen- sive battle. The league has not as yet been given a chance to retaliate. Mr. Lasley the Pioneer. Mr. J. D. Lasley of this city and the president of the Park Bicycle Club, is re- garded as the pioneer of the movement. He has been elected an honorary member of the union, and had other honors con- ferred upon him. He took the helm at the critical moment. When things were in a state bordering on chaos he offered the use of the Park track for the first meet of the outlaw union, and this was gladly ac- cepted. Seeing the example set by him other track owners and race meet pro- moters took heart, and the offer of other tracks for racing came soon after. Enough tracks have now been secured to complete the present national circuit, though at not one of the the league racing be ob information was received lative to the break from the league Mr. Lasley sent the following tele- gram to Philadeiphi E. C. Bald, president Cyclists’ Union—The Park Bicycle Club, Washington, D. C., will hold race meet Saturday, October 1, regardless of the L. A. W.

Manager Lasley of the Jocal track offered to give the Baltimore people the race meet for ture afternoon, which had been unanimously given to the local track by the new organization, provided the Balti- more people would join the movement. The racing men added the condition that the championship race to be run should be for two miles, and that the counting of the score should be six for the winner, four for the second man, three, two and on¢ points, y, for the third, fourth and fift r altimore people were to notify the hington people this afternoon whether or not they had decided to accept the conditions.

Wilson is the eastern Te ntative of the organization, with headquarters at Buffalo, N.Y. He will be in this city, being expected to arrive thi rnoon, and to him will be given the honor of refereeing the first outlaw meet in the east. The other crack riders of the national circuit are now at Philadelphia. The mec at the Woodside track for today been thrown over, and at 10:25 the men left for this clty, reaching town about 2 6'clock in the afternoon. The movement has gained great support in Philadelphia, which is practically the home of the new union, though the prelim- inary steps at organization took place in Trenton, N. J. The papers are heartily in favor of it, and the union has the financial support of many prominent concerns. The St. Louis track has joined the organization of outlaws, and on the 9th of October a Sunday race meet will be held at St. Louis. The Pleasure Beach track, at Bridgeport, Conn., and several other New England tracks, which have been suspended by the racing board of the league, will also join the movement. The Manhattan “Beach track at New York city, is also to be counted in. Meeting of Track Owners. In order to meet the cuanged condition of affairs the following call has been sent to all track owners of bicycle racing tracks: Appreciating the fact that the present existing state of affairs caused by the clash of the professional racing men and the League of American Wheelmen has placed the bicycle track owners in such a position as to be uncertain of the outcome of attendance at any particular meet or race, we, the undersigned, believe It would be of universal interest to all track owners to hold a meeting in the near future to carefully formulate means whereby we tion of our money request your prese eld at the Broady plans and devise some can have better protec- interest. We therefore ce at a metting to be ay Central Hotel, New York city, Monday, October 10, 1808, at 3 o'clock in’ the afternoon. Will you kindly signify your intention as to whether you will be present at the above-mentioned meeting by notifying A. B, Wadleigh, man- ager Woodside Park track, Philadelphia, Pa. (Signed) A. B. WADLEIGH, For Woodside Park Track, Philadelphia, J. FRANK ELINE, For Colosseum Track, Baltimore. J. D, LASLEY, For Park Bicyeie Club, Washington. In the meantime preparations are being » for holding the first of the outlaw meets in this city. If no reply is received trom the managers of the Baitimore track regarding the race meet for Saturday, the event will be held in this city. Ladies will be admitted to this meet free of charge, while an even charge of 50 cents will be made for every seat in the grand stand. One of the features of the meet, outside of the quarter-mile national championship, will be m race between E. C. Bald and Tom Cooper against W. Fred Sims and his brother, Billie Sims. STAR BATTERS. Five Senators in the Select Class of Slugwers. Batting is wofully light this year. Where there were fifty or more names enrolled upon the honor list all through last season, but thirty-eight men have made a sufficient average at the presznt time to become members of the society of .800. Baltimore has the greatest representation, as seven of its men have won credentials, Philadel- phia and Washington come next in order, with five each; Boston and Chicago send four delegates each; New York has three; Brooklyn, Louisville, Cincinnati and Cleve- land have two 2ach, and Pittsburg and St. Louis bring up the rear with one each.

Se ‘al of the clubs are undoubtedly back on the season, but not to the extent claim- ed. St. Louis fs about the only western club that ts behind on the season, the trans- ferring of games allowing the “Wander- ers” to quit about even, while Washington, Brooklyn and New York will lose sums nging from about $7,000 to $15,000. Sal- aries of the players are very low just now and the season has to be extremely poor to make the magnates lose money. Cut the alleged loss of $65,000 squarely in half and Mne on the actual losses will be at. Local base ball “cranks” with a fondness ering money on thelr opinions of the different clubs are sore on the Cincin- natis. The Reds had quite a following in this city. One of the sore betters remarked yesterday, that “he wouldn't bet the Cin- cinnatis would play ball next season. “The Cincinnatis will never win the cham- pionship as long as ‘Buck’ Ewing is man- ager,” recently remarked ono of the fore- most players of the country to The Hven- ing Star man recently.‘ ‘Buck’ will never be able to live down the fact that he de- serted the players during the Brotherhood season, and this fact is kept green in the memory by the older men. The opposing players do their best against the Reds, and in a pinch Ewing's own men will ‘throw him down.’ There may be more in this than designating the Cincinnatis as quitters. \tes, one of the best pitchers with the Dayton (Ohio) team, is to join the Cleve- lands. He has signed a contract and will join the Spiders at Indianapolis next week. He is said to be a very promising young- ster. Tebeau'’s Indians would have dronved to fifth place yesterday if they had lost and the Chicagos won. Next to Baltimore and Boston, Loutsville is winning ‘more games than any team in the league. The Colonels bid fair to over- take Pittsburg at this rate and wiil be close to the .500 mark by the close of the season. They would pass .500 if the season was a few wecks longer, and may do sv anyhow. Who would have thought three months ago that they would be anywhere near Pilts- burg by this time? In another column of this issue appears the snnouncement of Tommy Corcoran’s engagement and coming marriage. to Miss Daisy Sykes Flowers, an estimable young lady of Washington, D. C., who nas been living in this city with her mother for sev- eral ths. The announcement comes in the nature of a surprise to his many friends, admirers and the members of his team. Corcoran is one of the most popular members of the local team, and he will be the recipient of numerous congratulations when he next makes his appearance on the local grounds.—Cincinnat! Commeretal.

Es- pecially was this the case in exhuming the remains of Colttmbus, and this fact has caused much uhfavorable comment and given rise to grave rumors which, though unconfirmed, appear to have some founda- tion, as there has been no attempt at de- nial from any source. Few of the authorities were present, the names of those who were to attend being handed to the chief of police the night before in General Blanco’s own handwrit- ing. No official account of the ceremony or statement regarding the condition of the remains has been made public, but it has leaked out from an almost authoritative source that they are not in exactly the same condition as when they were placed in the niche. When the remains were placed in the mausoleum a small casket was inclosed, containing coins, gold and silver medals, precious stones and rolls of parchment; as was then the custom upon the occasion of a burial. It appears that this casket has been tampered with and rifled of its contents, and further rumors say that only portions of the remains are left. Gossip, scandal and speculation are rife, the exact truth of which the authorities make no effort to affirm or contradict. Some of the more rabid Spaniards go to the length of saying that the whole cere- mony was a farce, the Washington gov- ernment having objected to the removal of the remains and their government gcing through the pantomime tn order to make the public believe that the remains, which really are left here, were shipped to Spain. It has been decided to hold a meeting of the evacuation commissions to treat orally upon matters of the utmost import- ance. Friday, September 30, was agreed upon by the Americans for the meeting. The Havana produce exchange today an- nounced that it would not hereafter fur- nish the press with the prices at which sales were effected on the floor of the ex- change, as the publication of the figures injured the Lusiness of the retailers, whose customers insist that the selling prices should be fixed in some reasonable propor- tion to the purchase prices, General Rafael Rodriquez, who was sent by General Gomez as a special envoy to the American evacuation commission, besides requesting the commissioners to use their influence to induce the Spanish governinent to sell commissary stores to the Cuban treops, conferred at length with the com- missioners in relation to the disbandment of the Cuban army, so that the men might return to their labors in the fields. General Gomez is still at the camp of General Rojas, which, it is said, he will Icave tomorrow. His destination, however. is not made public.

If Goy. Smith, -Formerly of Leaven- worth, jn Trouble Again. A dispatch from Santa Monica, Cal., yes- terday says: While Governor Smith of the Pacific branchiiof the National Soldiers’ Home, near this place, was coming to his headquarters tgday Albert G. Bradley, who has been an inmate of the home for five years, came up behind him and shot at him five times, one ball taking effect un- der the right shoulder blade, one above the right hip and one through the right arm. The surgeons think the wounds are not fatal. At times Bradley has acted strange- ly, and it was supposed he was mentally unsound. The governor is resting easily. Bradley was arrested. Governor Smith was in charge of the National Home at Leavenworth for many years. Early on the morning of June 11, i807, the governor's residence, on the home grounds at Leavenworth, was wrecked by dynamite. The governor, his wife and daughter were in the house, but escaped with minor injuries. The crime was traced to a veteran, Joseph W. Oliver, a member of the home, and he was convicted. Governor Smith's administration at the Leavenworth home was marked by many troubles, ee FIRED ON BY SPANIARDS, Fatal Result of Misunderstanding Over Guards {n Porto Rico. A dispatch from San Juan de Porto Rico yesterday says: Word has reached here that a Porto Rican residing at Aguadilla, near Mayaguez, asked protection of both the American and Spanish troops against depredations of outlaws which it was pre- dicted would occur. In response to this re- quest the American authorities sent to his residence two soldiers of a Kentucky regi- ment, who arrived there Sunday evening after dark. The resident had not notified the Span- iards that he had requested American pro- tection, and some Spanish soldiers who had been sent to guar? his house, arriving after the Americans, mistook the latter for out- laws. In the confusicn resulting the Span- iards fired, unfortunately killing one of the Americans. The name of the dead soldier has not yet been ascertained. The incident is greatly regretted by the Spaniards. The aid of the Red Cross Society was procured for the dying man. An informal meeting of the American evacuation commission was held this morn- ing, but nothing of interest or importance was done. The Spaniards are offering at Public auction large quantities of army. ra- tions and other government property which cannot be taken home with them. It may be expected that the evacuation of the isi- and will be completed very shortly. The Americas have here eight batteries ot light artillery, which are useless, as an effective force of cavalry and artillery alone is needed for policing the island, and the maintenance of the artillery is expen- sive. Twenty-five per cent of the American troops in the island are on the sick Ist, and ft is impossible for them to recuperate here. The sick soldiers, it is said, could be sent home to mutual advantage. ‘The townspeaple have requested that, as the evacuation, proceeds, the American troops shall take possession before the Spanish soldiers have departed, thus af- fording the inhabitants protection in the event of possible disorder.

Wimodaughsis opened its season for 1898 and 1899 last evening in the parlors at 1425 New York avenue with a rally. The rooms have been newly decorated during the sum- mer, and were very attractive. Refresh- ments were served, and cards and dancing furnished amusement for those inclined. Mcst of the teachers were present, and old pupils greeted each other and new friends were welcomed.

The methods are specially adopted to those who have no opportunity for a systematic course of instruction at school or college. The work is thorough and the terms are such that the advantages are within the reach of all. A special effort will be made this year to develop along scholarly lines those sub- Jects especially useful in the home. A course of domestic science has been added to many of our colleges and universities It is not a cooking school on a large scale, but a broad, comprehensive course full of hard work. Cooking to be intelligently mastered requires some kngwledge of other sciences, such as chemistry-and physiology.

The lack of funds to estab- lish the work without regard to the in- come it brings in is the most serious handi- cap, but a work like this should receive support and encouragement when it known. The past eight years of . work by Wimodaughsis is the best guar- antee of the sincerity of its efforts. The reoms are open daily except Sun- days, from 10 to 6, and strangers in the city and all interested in the work are cor- dially welcomed. On Wednesday after- noens from 3 to 5 the president has hours there. An opportunity to join parties for con- certs, lectures or the theater will be given these who desire to attend, but do not wish to go without a chaperon. A party of ten attended the opening night of “The Chris- tlan.” Other work of the society is carried on by auxiliary organizations having independ- ent officers.

Choice of New Jersey Democrats for Next Governor. The New Jersey democratic state con- vention, which met at Trenton yesterday, nominated for governor of New Jersey Elvin W. Crane, the prosecutor of Essex county, and adopted a platform which, in @ mcysure, supperts the democratic nation- al platform. The convention, however, de- feated a proposition to specifically indorse the platform adopted by the Chicago con- vention of 1896. Mr. Crane's name was not the orly one presented to the convention, but before the first ballot had been com- pleted, it was clear that he was the popular choice, and his nomination was made unan- imous. The convention was held in Taylor Opera Hou: William B. Gourley of Paterson was made chairman, end the proceedings were without special incident until the ma- Jority report of the committee on resolu- tions was presented by Senator Edwards. This was followed by a minority report by Thomas F. Lane of Union. There was a noisy time among the dele- gates, and some confusion; but Chairman Gourley promptly submitted the minority proposition to insert an indorsement of the Chicago platform to the convention without debate, and declared it defeated. For a few moments there wes considerable turmoil, but the band struck up a lively tune, and finally the silver men accepted the situation gracefully. Later, when Mr. Crane had been nom- inated, Senator Daly and Clarence Atkin- son, both of whom were special favorites of the silver men, and were candidates for the nomination, mounted the platform and promised to do all they could to insure Mr. reetetetetetetestentntententntnonointeieetpteteteetetetetnininiotottotnteleteietenntstoletotelele ole eee te y"s ed Gloves. | Corset Department. - for Ladies’ $1.00 and $1.2 Kia for Ladies’ $1.65 Gown Gloves, in sizes 5%, 6, € . ™% and 7% | ts mn alightly » only. | for La ic.

Her mother was a sister of Christian VIII, the predecessor of Frederick VII. She was mar- ried to King Christian IX in 1842. King Christian IX is the father of the Princess of Wales, the Empress of Russia and the King of Greece. The Princess of Wales has been in Denmark for some time ast. The end of the queen was peaceful. At her bedside were the King of Denmark, the Dowager Empress of Russia, the King and Queen of Greece, the Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Den- mark and all the other members of the royal family.
