HED COWBOY RACE CONCLUDED Jotin Berry Arrived First, Closely Followed by Emmett Albright. FIRST HONORS ARE IN DISPUTE Riders In Worse Condition than Thelr Horses—Pecullar Significance of the Showing to Stock Fanclers— Story of the Great Race, Cricaco, June 27— [Special Telegram to Tiur Bre.|—After thirteen days and sixteen hours of pretty warm going the great cow- boy race from Chadron, Neb., to Chicago is done, There was a clatter on the rough, stony pavement of Sixty-third street, then came a shout s at exactly 9:80 o'clock this morning John Berry finished first. There was only a small crowd at the gates of Buffalo Bill's Wild West to greet the tired man who had ridden a thousand miles in record time for the reason that very few had any idea that the leader would make such fast time the last partof the race. Thoso who saw Berry finish were surprised. Why, he's only a little bit of a man,” they said. Heis a little man. As he flung himself from his horse in front of Colonel Cody’s tent in the inclosure his smallness beeame even mere apparent. Ho is scarcely 08 tall as his horse, PoisoM, that brought him the last sixty-five wiles from Dekalb to Chicago since 11 o'clock last night. A gleam of pleasure spread itself over this littleman's bronzed and burned features as Colonel Cody step,ed forward and shook him by the hand with the remark, “You are the first man in. You arc all right, John; you are all right.” Couditlon of Man and Benst, The horse was the center of one interested group and Berry formed the center of at- traction for another. Of the two objects the man was the sorriest, sleepiest and most tired. The horse showed no siguns of being slecpy, tired and sore. His coat was un- rufiled and without a bit of lather. He showed ability of going another wmiles. On the other haud, the rider ed worn out, but the gleam from his little gray eyes showea that there was abundant determina- tion in the small, well knit frame, He made a unique picturs as he stood there shaking hands with members of the vacqueros and Indians, With all v's exultation at winning the ruce, even under protest in spite of his slcepless nights and days,he turned to Colonel Cody ana said, “Look out for that horse, please.” Upon being assured that everything would be done for the unimal Berr lowed himself to be conducted to the dining tent, where he cleaned a bit and tackled some chicken with 8 gusto born of 1,040 miles of hard riding. ‘When he finishod he dropped on the sofa, tired out. In a second he jumped up and said he must go ana look after his horse. He went over to the stable and after secing that everything was all right he took a nap of a counle of hours. Berry's Lust Hundred Miles. The story of his last division ride is sim- ple: “Tleft Dekulb at 11:05 p. m. an Poison ud T kept pounding along as fast as I could ‘withouv hurting the horse. When we reached Turner we got a telegram from Dekalb stat- ing that Smith and Gillespie were just two hours and thirty minutes behind, so I knew T had the race sure. 1 fed and watered be- tween Elburn ana Lodi. We took the straight St. Charles road and struck May- wood about 7 o'clock this morning and I was afraid for the horse when we struck the pavement for tear he would break down. He ain't used to pavements, you know. 1 rode the last 150 miles in twenty-four hours, 'Sore? Well I should say 1 was, I did not feel much like sitting down but I am so sleepy that I can't talk. I bhave had no slecp for ten days to amount to anything. But [ feol in fairly geod shapo cxcept being sleepy. Berry here broke off the convo ask Major Burke if he found any s on his horse and then said: “Some of the riders say I rode 1a . wagon but they are liars, 1 have ridden on my two horses Sandy ana Poison all the way. By the way, this first horse carried me ninety miles yester- day, There wasa combinalion put “up to beat me. The rest of the riders got out in front of me at the start, but when Idaho Falls was roached I was in the lead and they had to follow me and they have not caught up with mo, Glad 1t W “Yes, I am glad to win, for it is an honor. Of course, [ am glad it is over. but I am able 1o go on and do some more riding if neces- sary.” At 11:07 a shout unnounced another rider in sight, In a moment Emmett Albright rode in the gates on a little dun pony. He surprised every one, for he was supposed to be 'way in the rear of the bunch. He brought in both horses, and the broncho he rode was in good shape in spite of the long, hard ride. 1 think I have won,” he said as he lay down on the tent. *‘Iam the only man who brought in two hors: 1 am awfully tired, for I have been sick since I left Chadron, aud I have not slept for five days and have not eaton anything since yesterday noon. | did not feel tived untit this morning, when I began to lot down. The excitement carried me through. Nerve can do a great deal, I can't tell where I passed the other boys, but I know I passed them lust night, some- where, s Over. Ntorlos on the Road, *You can hear great things on the road, 1 heard that I had uo horses, was dead and everything else, I could have beaten Berry, but I knew ho was riding under protest, so [ did not try to. I thwk I get the first wonoy.” Joe Gillespie rode into the Wild: West grounds at 1:81 o'clock on his horse, Billie Shafter, Fourteen minutes later C. W. Smith arrived on his horse, Dynamite. Both men reached the eity carly' in tho morning, but were unaccustomed to big towns and lost their way, being unable to find their way to the show ground: Albright did not stop on his last relay between Dekalb and Chicago, but his animals, Outlay and Joe Bush, were in splendid shape when stalled. The former attempted to bite a stable hand while he was feeding him, and Poison kicked Major Burke. As soon as tho horses were stabled John G. Shortall, accompanied by a couple of vet- erinary surgeons, made an inspection and one of the horses tried to bite him. He con- cluded that there was plenty of auimation Jeft and pronounced the horses all right and that there was no lualillr:flluu for the least interference on his part as agent of thoe Humane society. Cody on the Results, Colonel Cody was pleased with the race and results. He declared that there was a lruuw deal more to the race than the mere rst prize. “It will show the world what the ustive Americau horse is worth. pean natious are watching the result Of this race with futerest. It is u test of the hardiness of 1 broneho, and after the wonderful result o 150 miles in twenty-four hours, 040 miles in thirteen days and sixteen ours, there will be a rush for the Americun animal. European nations will want Amer can bred hovses for their cavalry. Of course on the entanglements of the riders and pro- tests 1am pot iu a position to decide, bug 1 do say that the barses are in splendid condi tion. 1 wasnot surprised at that either, for i I Just s I'said a few duye ago - Lhe cowboy kuow that the horse s their best friend and ‘hn its best endeavors can be urought out y kindness sud care.” 1 Jobe M.

Why, I've bought a string of lemonade from Towa to Chicago and the boys broke me. Gillesple Might flave W Gillespie has attracted much attention. He is 58 years old, but he has stood the jour- ney well, and when he disnounted today he appeared fresh. A boy who joined Gillespio in lowa said that if Gillespie had taken ca of nimself and his horsea he would hay conpleted the journey yesterday, In the first part of the race he staked his horses out and slept outdoors. In an lowa town he stopped to sec a circus and amused the sy ors by riding a trick mule. He has never worn a cont since he started, His son was entered for the race, but the old man told him to go buck and tend the fa s he in- tended to take this opportunity of a lifetimo to have some fun, Distribution of the Although Berry, who isan engineer and surveyor for the Elkhorn Valley road. was the first to arrive, itis notlikely that he will be awarded the cowboy £1,000 prize of- fered by citizens of Chadron, ashe rode under protest, having made the map of the route. - Besides this prize, Colonel Cody will distribute £00 among the first threo persons arriving, The Berry matter will be settled by the Chadron committee and the riders themselvy The race was started at Chadron June 18 at 5:40 o'clock, thus makiug the time of the race for the leaders a few hours less than fourteen d. The distan computed to be 003 miles, but the riders claim that they rode further by reason of losing their way. Those who started in the race and their horses were: Emmett Albright, riding Outlaw and Joo Bush; J. H.

They will ais- cuss the reductions recently made from and to the Pacific coast aud endeavor to adjust the matters. The settlement rests entirely with the Great Northern as that roud has been making all aggressive reduc- tious, and if it is ready to quit the other roads will do the same thing. The meeting of the Western Passenger as- soclation called for today was to consider Passenger Ag the Great Northern reductions exclusively, and as no action could be taken pending vhe meeting of the transcontinental lines on Fri- day, the wmeeting adjourned until Friday afternoon. ‘T'he Atchison road today issued a circular declaring that it was in favor of one fare excursion rates to Chicago from all western territory and inviting other roaus to make these rates, 7 Union Pacific, Mis- sourl Pacific and Rock Island roads are wiliing to make the rates, but the Alton and Burlington are opposed to it.- The matter will come up at the weeting on Friday.

OMAHA, WEDN SHIMMERING, SHINING SILVER Oabinet Officials Discuss the Situation at Length. CONGRESSMEN GIVE THEIR OPINIONS Various Views on the Actlon of the Indian Government in Closing Its Mints to White Metal Will Not Talk, Wasnixaroy, June 27, —The cabinet today spent two hours considering the silver ques- tion, As congress alone can effectively deal with the question and as the president showed no inclination to call congvess to- gother carlier than Septembor, it was de- cided merely to await the course of events until that time. From the comparatively few congressmoen in the city the following views have bé&n ob- taived: Representutive Alderson of West Virginia said the action of the Indian government greatly embarrassed the situation here. He was a free silver man, but he believed the conditions at this time would have to’be con- sidered inany legislation on the subjec that we could not legislate on the conditions of ten or twelve years ago, and vhat congress would have to act in accordance withahings as it finds them and not upon theories. He thought a great many of thesilver men were disposed to agree to some compromise, but the matter of detail could not yet be de- termined upon, Comp’leated for Silver Men, Representative Meredith of Virginia said matters were complicated for the silver men. He thought the Sherman law would be repealed, but he did not care to guess as 1o the character of the substitute for it. “This actionon the partof the govern- ment of India,” said Mr. Boatner of Louis- fana, “throws a good many more difficulties n the way of free coinage. T have no doubt that had not this been brought about Mr. Cleveland would, during the next session of congress, have had a free coinage bill pre- sented to him for his sanction or his veto. I cannot tell and noone can as yet, I thinlk, how much the demonctization of silver in Indis will affect the situation. I have no question i my mind about the propriety of repealing the Sherman law, but we have gotto have some means of supplying money for trade and commeree, The volume of gold is not sufficient und the deficiency has got to be supplied by another currency. 1am not wedded to any partieular scheme, but what the people of this count want is sufticient mone got to besupplicd. A laree number of silver men who voted for the repeal of the Sherman law last congress did so on their faith that at the beginning of this congress the 10 per cent tax on state banks would be repealed. For my part I saw no reason wh the tvo things should not have been coupled, and I was not willing to trust to the future foraction on the bank tax, and I voted against the repeal of the Sherman law. It is not silver, per se, that the people want, but it is a sufficiency of sound money. I think that congress shoulo have been callod together in April_and now we should get together as soon ns possible.” Hopefal for a Speedy Settlement. Representative Oates of Alabama says that hetis hopeful of a speedy settlement of the financial question when congress meets. He anticipates, of course, that there will be considerable trouble and that members will be inclined to hold firmly to the theories they have been presenting all along. buy that the common sense of the situation is to do something to meet the conditions. He thinks that the most logical and common sense things will be to repeal the Sherman law, and the law levying a 10 per cont tax on state bank currency and to provide for the froe coinage of silver at such a ratio as to place it on o parity with gold. A.J. Wurner of Ohio, pi ent of the American Bimetallic league, said: *Tho stoppage of the coinage of silver in Indin is the inauguration of a_new monetary revolu- tion or, rather, the extension to_the far east of the revolution begun in 183273 in the western world, Itis the sccond act in the ame great conspiracy.t It is a movement decp atedand will be far reaching 1n its conse- quences, 1 look upon thisact of Iudia, by which the gateways of the east are closed to silver, tozether with the determined purpose of the monometallists of this country to re- peal the Sherman act, us events fraught with greater s to man than anything that has uspired within the century. W, becomes now of the claim that the United States must stop the purchases of silver in order to force England to join in an international agreement? Kng- lund has determined, if possible, to force the repeal of the silver purchase law in the Uuited States. The closing of the mints of Bombay and Calcutta is a part of the gi- gantic conspiracy to seize upon the present opportunity to estadlish finally and forever the single gold standard, und to extend it over the world, Critical in the Extremo. ““This is the critical juncture. The turn- ing point is now. If free coinage were re- stored in the United States it would be the end of the single gold stundard. On the other band, if absolute repeal of the present silver law in the United States can be forced the workis done. It is therefore deemed sater to stop coinuge in India first. The im- mediate consequence will be that siiver will fail and gola will inerease in value faster than evel Prices will soon begin to fall in India, The whole world in time will feel the effect of the vonsummation of this last act of the gold conspirators, Prices will continue to fall everywhere as gold rises, The end no one ecan sce. Every advantage will inure to creditors and creditor nations, England has set out to subdue the world, not with arms, but with gold—by turning everything to gold. f this movement be allowed to run its course unchecked there will be fine grinding before the mills are done. 'T'he movement is big with revolutions and is sowing the seeds of ana y. But will it be allowed to run its course! " That depends on the United States. If the United States allows Eng- land to forever dictate her financial policy, as she has done since the war, then we must take the consequences. But if the American ople have auy independence of character eft, they would not do so, and it should be ovident to everybody that the United States must finully act independently. ‘I'he inter- nutional conference has gone with the stoppage of the mints of India. Recourse of the West, ““What is there left to do, but for the west- ern contingent, under the lead of the United States, to unite and act independently and establish a financisl system founded on equity and calculated to secure stability n values and one which will keep an even bal- ance between the debtor and creditor, not one caleulated to rob with impunity the debtor for the benefit of the creditor, I'he gold standard, under this act of Eng. land closing the mints of India, become: more unjust standard thun ever, becauso gold will now inerease in value faster than ever before. A session of the American Bi- metallic league has already been decided upon for the lutter part of August at St Lows or Chicago. This plan will not be changed unless congress should be called to- gother ut an earlier date than given out by the president Secretary Carlisle, in response to a re- quest to express his views on the financial situation as affected by the action of India on_silver, politely declined snd did not care to indulge in speculation as to the future. o Replies to Questions. Loxpoy, June 27.—In the House of Com- mons today Mr, Robert Lacey Everett asked the government whether now, the value of t1e rupee having been raised by the closing @ the Indian wints to the free coinage of silver, compensation would be given to those ons in Tndia who ha@l entered into con- ay rupees without knowing that the free coinage will be stopped and the rupee raised. Wil the people of India, he further asked, be cohsul in the matter? Mr. Gladstone replied that all measures modifying a state {currency may affect pecuniary values find mfiuence current transactions. He wiis not aware that 1t had ever been the usage to make alterations sub- ject to compensatign, and he did not see how such a usage col beneficially established. Continuing, Mr.'@adstone said he was con- fideat that the gayernment of India W using all the means fn 1ts power to ascertain the public sentimen Rt. Hon. Georgge J§} Goschen, who was the chancellor of the exchequer in Lord Salis- bury's late cabinet, asked if the government of India had ths power to coin rupees as the need arose. Mr. Gladstone repliod that if the public had report was not cl on the sub- Ject. Ife would ask the Indiun ofiice con- cerning it. He had little doubt what the answer would be. RUMORS OF AN EXTRA SESSION. Congress/May, it 1s Sald In New York, Be Convened in July. New Yonrg, June 27.—While, according to bank officers, there was no change of con- ditions to warrant any marked increase on Stock exchange prices, thero was not lacking roports of a character calculated to inspire confidence, as well as some facts which justi- fied the belief that the outlook was brighter today than it was yesterday. One of the rumors was that the president was going A call an oxtra ses- sion of congress in July ito repeal the silver law, the reason for the change from September to July being the action of the Indian government in closing the Indian mints to private colnage of silver. The question was being discussed, it was said, at A meeting of the cabinet today. Another rumor was that Drexel, Morgan & Co. wero going to import £2,000,000 of gold. Mr, Morgan, when asked as to this story, said that as soon as he Imported any gold he would make the fact known, The rate of exchange today amvly war- ranted imports of wold if there were enough of exchange obtainuble at the firures quot Brown Bros. & Co. sold demand bills at £4.88, but it was not believed thatthere were enough bills offering to cause imports of gold at this time, Payments by the Subtroasury, “The subtreasury paid out o large amount for interest today, its debtor balunco at the Clearing House ' this morning exceeding 400,000, most of which was for interest. Early this morning £0,000 in_gold was de- posited at tho subtroagury for telexraphic transfer to San Francidco, and it was. ex pected that £100,000 would be seut in the vay today. Ttwas said also that thero ro some inquiries for similar transfors money to New Orleans. No currency shipinents to gthe country were reported at the subtreasury today, but the banks hipyed between $300,000 and <100,000 to San wcisco direet, and also various small suwis to banks in Buffalo. Indications aro that currency is_roturning to this city from the west. One bank_peceived §250,000 from a bauk in Chicago today. Generally speaking, the bankers today re- ported the financial situation as somewhat casier everywhere, but they qualifica the statement by saying that the demands for ount, while no larger, were very gen- ul from all over the country. No New York Cleuring House loaning cer- tificates were issued. today. Thero was no application for an, Frederick D. Tappohy president of the Gallatin National bank, and chajrman of the Cleuring House loan committee, speaking of the situation today safd: *“The clearing house bulunces were small today and well distributed and everything looked casy and comfortable. 1 think, ho continued, that there will bea great improvement in the situation after the July disbursements have been made. I do not expect to see any grent shrinkage in values on the - Stock exchange. 1 do mot seo what any one can base an expectation of shrinkages on. In my opmion the shrink. age has already taken place. The action of the Indian government on the siver que tion is the most important plece of news published this week. 1t leaves this country s the only one in which there is a market for silver und is undoubtedly a strong argu- ut in favor of the repeal of the Sherman Lver purchase law,” Russcll Sage's Opinfon, Sage sald today regarding the silver situation: T think the action of the Indian government will have the cffect here of hastening the repeal of the silver law, I consider that law us ‘done for’' now. What disposition to make of the great amount of silver the government has on hand and to place some fixed value on it are the ques- tions now.” e Seligman sald that one result of tho 1 government's action will be to bring about an immediate establishment of an in- ternational monetary basis on a fixed ratio. It wili be of us much effect in England and other European countries as in the United It will also be a strong argument in favor of the repeal of the Sherman act. Un- less this was done betier times would not be effected, A very serious state of affairs has de- veloped in Philadelphia. Several of the big bunks are practically unable to remit to the banks of this vity the balances due them for remittances, and Philadelphia exchange is practically at a premium today in this city. ‘I'he Philadelphia banks say they are unable procure New York exchange, and they cannot get gold or currency to ship. One bank in this city has 8600,000 locked up in three Philudelphia vanks in that way. Of course it could send down and demand the but it is unwilling to do so. The probubility is that there will be a lacger issue of aring house certificates in Phila delphia inu day or two, and the balances due m New York will, it is presumef, bo paid. In the meantime, however, business men having drafts on Philadelphis will not be uble to get credit for them here except at @ pretty large discount, Goldman Bros., clonk manufacturers, have become financially ‘embarrassed and the sherill has wken possession of their place of business.

Russell WILL BUY NO MORE ORE, Denver Smelters Discouraged Over the Sliver Outlook., Dexver, June 27.—Theé Denver smelters feel very severely the drop in silver, There are no means of knewling where 1t will end, aud, for the prescnt, they are insn embar- rassing state of uncertainty us to 'what their losses will be. Tho local smelters have on hand an aver- age of about 500,000 oupees cach, enough to last for several months without making any new contrac but the trouble is, there is now absolutely no market for silver, and if the smelters cannot dispose of the product of their works it will be an impossibility to continue running them. It is estimated vnat the smelters here and throughout the state have lost in the aggre- ate $650,000 on ore hought last week, which s fallen 30 greatly in yaluo in the phst two ays. Ex-Governcr James B, Grant, vice presi: dent of the Omaha & Grant Smelting com- pany, says that his company will make no more contracts for ore until the silver mar- ket is more settled, President M. L. Smith of the public sam- Pling works also declares that his company will make no more contracts at present. Coutinuing, Mr. Smith said: “The smelters of Denver are not likely to close down for a couple of mounths “on account of the large amount of ore already on buud, but wo more contracts will be made and the few that have been made may be recalled. They have all been made io such a way that-they may be canceled, because of the uncertaiuty heretofore exist- iug in the silver situation. , Possibly by the time the present stock of ore is used upg settlemwent of the culty will be reache 0 that work way bé'continued.” Smelters at Pucblo.

Harvey will call upon the attorney general tomorrow to request that Mosher be imprisoned at Lincoln instead of Sioux falls, It appears that there are some twenty-five suits pending in all of which Mosher will be called as a witness, These cases will be heard in Lincoln, and should Mosher be confined in Sioux Falls it will involve not only expense, but considerable delay to bring him up to Lincoln to testify. Mosher has signified his entire willingness to give testimony that will aid in the early settlement of affairs of the defunct Capital National. hese suits involve about £100,000, and it is probuble that the attorney general will allow Mosher to be held in custody at Lincoln pending the hearing of these suits rather than order him to confinement at Sioux Falls. Figurlug on Consolidations, From remarks made by Land Commis sioner Lamoreaux it is probable that the number of Iand offiees in the country will be reduced about a third. Reductions will ve greater in the northwest than indicated in these dispatches recently, In Minnesota it is certain thub the Taylor Falls oflice will be abolished and possibly another. In South Dakota, Yankton and either Mitchell or Huron and possibly Aberdeen may be consolidated into one district. In North Dakotag where it was supposed there would be no change, Minot is sure to be abolished, and this district, tozcther with Grand Forks and Devil's Lake, ure likely to be consolidated. Possibly Fargo may be joined to Bismarck, Tn Nebraska other sweeping reductionsare contemplated. Maps have been prepared and the matter is to be taken up at once.

SanrAToGA, N Y., June 27.-—The sixth an- nual convention of the State Republican league met here today. President McAlpine presided and after the appointment of com- mittees read his annusl address. Among other utterances were these: “The republican party seeks to establish and maintain a system which will insure our absolute and unqualitied eredit at home and abroad. The American dollar must always and under all circumstances be of the full value, so that whether it appears in the form of gold, silver, ora promise to pay, its purchasing power shall be the sume. “Our country at this moment is as through a financial crisis with results and with ng immedinte solution, Business enterprisc is at a stand- still; banks and capital in every form are beiug wrecked and this is cqually attribut- able, not only to various causes, easily def mined, but also to the lack of definite policy on the part ot the administration which makes it impossible for th business community to plan for its own preservation. It s mnot enough for the enief executive of the nation to coun- cil patriotism and quiet on the part of the citizens when executive lethargy and ind cision means the wrecking of private for- tunes and the shaking of the nation’s credit, Democratio Inconsistencies, *“We charge our democratic opponents with glaring inconsistencies and with having gone before the people in the last election pledged to the performance of promises of which there has been and apparently will be made no performanc We charge them with having attacked, as danger- ous and vernicious, ' the financial policies of the republican party which they dare not repeal and for which they offered no intelligent substitute, We charge them with incompetency of the administration of affairs; with a desire to make party cap at the expense of the nation and with a tim- idity which prevents them from righting what they claim to be wrong in republican administration without offering a consistent and beneficient substitute thercof,” Sceretary Hedges read letters of regret at their inability to bo present. from ex-Pres- ident Harrison, ex-Vice President Morton and Hon, Whitelaw Reid. Ex-President Harrison in the course of his letter said “I have been acting upon a resolutiou made before leaving Washington that I would give the spring and sumwmer months to rest und avoid all public occasions and ad- dresses. 1 hope your meeting will be suc- cessful und I think I may add without transgressing the propricties that there s nothing in the present business situation to suggest uny great gain to the country us the result of inauguration of democratic poli- tics,” Republicans Will Be Faithiut, Ex-Vice President Morton says that pre- vious engagements prevent his attendance. Hon. Whitelaw Reid, after regretting his inability 1o be present, says: “You find the country in an unfortunate condition, The duty of every one of us is to do everything in our power to nelp the president and con- gress to relieve the situation. Our party will not be unfaithful to that duty.
