Cr1oAco, July 18.—James R. and Foxhall P, Keene lost the American Derby with its 850,000 prize, but they have taken away $43,000 with three stakes at tho Washington Park track. St. Leonards, second fn the Derby, netted them $7,000; El Telegrapho won $20,000 in the World's Fair stakes and today Domino captured the Hyde Park stake, worth to the winner about $16,000. The California colt, Peter the Great, was second nnd Ed Corrigan’'s Vassal third. Ten thousana pooplo were at the track, drawn out not moro by the stake than by the \wo- mile race. In the second race Eugeno Leigh's Pedes trian beat the track record at six furlongs with 122 pounds up. With Taral riding Domino and Simms on El Telegrapho the Keene pair was installed at almost prohibi- tive prices at 1 to 6. Peter the Great got oft in the lead and held 1t almost to the half, where Domino went to the front and stayed there to the end. Petor tho Great raced along in second place to the end, being & Jength behind at the finish. Vassal im- proved his position steadily and was a good third. The time was 1:14 flat. Tho two-mile race aroused great interest and resulted in a new record by Newton, the time being 8:27¢, while the best pi wious performance in a_race was by Wild- more 'in 1881, in 8:28, Tenbroeck made the distance in a frial against time in 8:28.

There were only two matches on the pro gram of the city tournament for last night and only one of these was played. Cookson, who, with C. H. Young, had knocked Cul- lLngham and Battin out of the doubles, was yesterday called out of town for a week, and the tie between him and his partner and Fosbenner and Lawrence had to be put off. Whother the event will be kept open for Cookson's return, or whether he and Young will be scratched, will be decided by thecom- mitteo tonight. < Last night's play, therefore, was_confined to the contest between Hart and Denise in the semi-final of the singles. Beforehand evory one was williug to concede g two to one chance on Hart. ~Denise was Town as a clever young player, but no one seemed to entertain an idéa that he would be able (o stand up successfully against Hart. When play began, however, this iden was gradually but surely dispelled. Deniso has had excellent opportunity for prac- tice during the colloge term at Princeton, and has not wnmd%r. He has acquired an admirable siyle, hitting his balls clean and square, and seldom missing a chance to score. Against Hart last night his placing was almost perfect; and for so young a player ho s desorving of great credit for his success. In the firsy sot be raised the score to five games to one before his opponent was able to make any kind of a stand against him. Then for a couple of games Hart seemed to have made up his mind *to go in and win,” and but for an unlucky ball in the ninth game, which lost him the set, he might have come nearer it than he did. Denise's victory here puts him into the final of the singles, in which he will meet Cullingham Saturday night. In accordance with the usual practice the match will be tho best of five sets and, as Culliughum starts each game one point behind, it has been agreed to begin at 6 o'clock prompt in order to allow plenty of time for a protracted strugg Tonight the only play will be between Hart and Richard Young and Wilbur and Denise in the second round of the doubles, Score: SINGLES—BEMI-FINAL ROUND.

There will be a game of base ball between Birmingham's Conventions and the Fort Omahas at the faw grounds next Sunday afternoon for the benefit of “Spud” Farrish, who L0st his right hand the Saturday ever ing bofore the Fourth by the premature ox- plosion of a giant fire cracker. The game originated through Manager Birmingham and Arthur Creighton, and their commenda- ble cnterprise in such' a meritorious cause will doubtless meet with a geaerous re sponse on the part of Spud’s countless friends, P. H. Kinney has donated the use of the fair grounds, and 4 great game is antici- pated. It will be tho last game nvolving the city championship, and as both teams have been strengthened by new men it is & guess who will win, The conventions have secured Joe Dolan for third, Davyi middle tield, Lawler left fiela. in place of Stoney, Van' Arnam and_Yapp, who have signed with the soldiers. Fred Rustin and Mon Beal, who are Omaha members of the Ya.c college team, home on vacation, will also play with the ' soldiers. The game will be played in front of the grand stand, which has a seating capacity of 4,000, and as the tickets have been pucat the low figure of 25 cents, every seat-should be ocoupied. Seats are on sale at Bandle's store, at Mr. Birmimgham's place, 518 North Sixteenth street, and by the members of the two teams.

NOT IN CLEVELAND'S FAVOR Bryan Will Probably Be Retired from the Ways and Means Committes. SPRINGER NOT LIKELY TO BE CHAIRMAN Speaker Crisp ministration poses to Permit the Ad- s Have Something to Say About the Appoinsments—Ne. braska Meat Inspection. 513 URTEENTH STREET, Wasiiyarox, July 13, It is rumored that the political circum- starces which have combined to retire Con- gressman Springer of Tltfnois from the chair- hipof the ways and meaus committee will reliove Congressman Bryan of Nobraska from membership in tho same committee. Nebraska's oxponent of free silver and freo trade is not in favor with the administration, it is said. Itis semi-oMcially_snnounced that Speaker Crisp intends to give the presi- dent and Secretary Carlisle a full say in the make up of tho ways and means committeo. Brockenridgo of Kentucky, Bynum of Indiana and other democratic representa- tives, decidedly in the favor of the adminis- tration, think they are entitled, on account of their seniority of service, to the places on tho leading committec now held: by Mr. Bryan aud others who were fortunate in their choice of a candidate for speaker. It is belioved that Bryan will have to march out of the committeo with his political patron, Mr. Springer. notwithstanding his work in the lino of free trade in the last congress, ‘Will Discontinue Meat Inspevtion. Secretary Morton, Dr. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal industry and Solici- tor General Maxwell of the Departmeut of Justice had a long consultation today ot the Depaztment of Agriculture on the subject of the meat inspection service and whether or no the law required the secrotary to con- tinue the meat inspoction ice where he felt that it was unnecessary. The result of the conference was not made known, Some time ago] Secrotary Morton directed a letter asking for an opinion from Attorney General Olney on the subject in which he stated that if he had the power under the Inw to discontinue meat inspection he proposed to do so in many places where he nad found it to be an expensive and use- less undertaking, The sequel to tho confer- ence appeared a little later when the scere- tary published the announcement that he has suspended tho inspection of shecp, eef and lambs at_the abattoir of the JacobDold Packing company of Buffalo. This action was taken upon the report of an inspector that none of the inspected meat is_sold to the interstate or foreign trade. The order for the suspension of the Buffaio inspection will doubtless be followed soon by a _similar order suspending inspection at Pittsburg, Pa., aud av Nebraska City, Neb.

P.S H MUST HAVE THEIR FULL HISTORY, Commissloner Lochren of the Peusion Bureau lusues & New Ordor, WASHINGTON, July 13, —Commissioner Loch- ren of the pension bureau today issued an order directing that hereafter in making calls upon the War and Navy departments for nformation regarding the service of applicants for pensions under the actof June 28, 1800, & request shall be made for a full milivary and medical history of the soldiers. Hitherto these calls have asked for the dates of tne soldier's enlistment and dis- ol 0. 'his new order is important, from the fact that it shows a purpose on the part of the pension oficials to make a more searching inquiry than Iurmorl{ into the causes of the applicant's disability and ascertain from oficial sources whether it may not have resulted from his own vicious habits. This information is wmaterial,, as under the act of Jume 27, 1800, such np‘zlll- cants are specifically barred from receiving pensions.

But Miles preferred the army, and his preference lost him a fortune. How- ever, he made no mistake, as ho has had an interesting career, not the least im- portant incident in which was his mar- riage to the niece of General Sherman, and the older tor of Mrs. Dan Cameron. The Boston papers havoe succeeded in mixing up to some extent General Fitz John Porter, who has boen a prominent figure at the army gather- ings this week, and Geporal Horace Porterof New York and Chicago, who wus Grant’s aid_and private secretary; who built the West Shore railroad: who has a national reputation as a_ witty ximcch maker, and who was president of the Soclety of the Army of the Potomac last year.
