THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1895 FINISHES WERE ALL CLOSE Wheel Oranks Given a Great Exhibition of Racing, PIXLEY SURPRISED EVEN HIS ADMIRERS Landed Second in the Third of a Mile rateln Set n Great Pace Crowd in the Mile lass AL There was considerable of a crowd present | at tho second day's racing of the nationai| circuit meet at Council Blufts yesterday after- noon, and all were amply repaid for going out by being treated to some of the prettiest | bicycle racing ever witnessed in the west A strong wind blowing directly In the faces of the riders coming into the stretch pre- vented any semarkablo time being made, but | the finishes were more close and exciting than on the previous day. Old Sol was In evidence, and the riders were not compelled to bundle themselves up as much as they did on Friday. They were all in fine fettl and rode as if it wore a case of life and death with them. Master Lee Richardson agaln pleased the crowd with one of his marvelous exhibitions of trick riding. He is | truly a wonder and performs feats almost inconcelvable, One of the surprises of the day was riding of Pixley of Omaha, self a first-class man by de cracks with the excaption of one-third mile open race. The first event on the afternoon’s card, the one mile boys' race, wan called promptly at 2:30. Five of them lined up at the scratch Thelr race was a pretty one and the time re- markable for boys. Ralph Brown was the victor, with Kelley second and White third Time: 2:31 The next event was the one-half open, class A, with Towa's and Nebraska's fastest “A" men as starters. They got off well together, and were bunched on the last turn. Rounding into the stretch they cut loose and came for home at a merry clip. It was a preity finish and so close that it was hard for the judges to pick the winners Gadke, however, was first, with Mierstein a elose sccond, and McBride third. Time: 1:21. ANOTHER HOT B MILE. Then came the one mile open, In this and the third-milo open “B' the interest seemed to be centered. Owing to the fact that all the cracks were entered, Denman and Potter, the tandem team, were put in for pacemakers, and at the crack of the pistol it was a race for the tandem. Cooper reached it first, with Bald, Bliss, Pix- ley and Wells close at his rear. Murphy made an effort to circle the tandem and drop back on the inside, in order to get the po- sition behind it, but they were hitting too lively a galt and ho conld not pass them Down the back streteh the riders went at a world's record elip, the half mile from the first quarter to the three-quarters pole being covered In 0:8 In tho middle of the back stretch the tandsm was going so fast that Coope was unable to stay with them, and they were fast pulling away from the bunch, when Bald shot out and soon pulled the rest of the riders up to the pace- makers. Rounding into the stretch the riders were met by a strong gale from the south which made them slow down to a 2:40 clip At the fourteen-sixteenths pole Murphy Jumped and was looked upon as a sure win ner, but Bald made one of those wonderful sprints of his and succeeded in winning by a good margin. Cooper second, Wells third Time: 2:20. The one mile open, class A, was then called and ten otarters lined up at tho tape. The reforee placed a time limit of 2:25 on the race. Nobody seemod anxious to set the pace, and the race proved a loaf. Patterson finished first, Gadke second and MeBride third, The time was 3:00. This being out- sido the time limit, it was declared no race and ordered run over. On the second trial Mierstein acted as pacemaker. He cut out a fast one, too, covering the first half in 1:06 and the three-quarters in 1:44. Rounding into the stroteh the bunch began the race for the tape, and it was a pretty one. Mc- Bride finished firat, Patterson second and Gadke third. Time: 2:26, WHERE PIXLEY CAME IN. Then came the race of the day, the one third mile open, class B. Ten men lined up for the start, Including all the cracks Pixley caught the tandem at the start, with Bald, Murphy, Cooper, Wells, Bliss and Terrill close after him, in the order named The riders entered the stretch with the tan dem setting a terrific pace, and all working like Trojans to stay with it. Down the stretch they came, nearer, nearer to the finish, with the little Omaha man in the lead and coming at a furlous gait. All of the men were working hard to pass him, but Eddie Bald wao the only one who succeeded in doing it, beating Pixley out by the small margin of one foot, Murphy third, Cooper fourth. Time: 0:47, within five seconds of tho world's record for that distance. The first four men were so closely bunched at the finish that a blanket would have cov- ered them all. It was the prettiest finish of the meet, and Pixley proved that ho can ride with the fastest men in the country with a good chanc: of winning. . The one mile handicap, class A, was next Sixteen riders got away at the start, and made a pretty race. They all bunched at the three-quarter pole, and the finish was a fina one. Mierstein won, Shrader second, Brown third, Time: 2:152.5. The last race on the program was the five mile handicap, class B. Ten men started and It was one of the prettiest races of the meet. Tho serateh men did not start, and Kiser and Bliss, on the 125-yard mark, were virtually serateh men. the riders but thess two bunched on first mile, and changed off sett order to keep Bliss and Kiser from catching them, but this was of no avail, as the Dayton and Chicago boys were equal to the occasion, and at four and three-fourths wmiles wore up with the limit men. Then came the race for home. Wella reached the tape first, Kiser vecond, Iredrickson third, Terrill fourth. Time: 13:04. The cracks leave for Lincoln Monday morn- ing, where they race that afternoon. Messrs. Bald, Bliss, Cooper and Manager Windle will be shown the sights of Omaha this afternoon the He proved him- ating all the Bald in the mile class B, All the ng pace in by Mr. Willlam Lyle Dickey.

FINDING HOLES I THE LAW Attorneys for Both Sides Busily Engaged in Examining It. ARKANSAS JUSTICE NOT AGAINST PUGILISTS vernor Clarke Discovers the Faet that the Law Making Prize Fighting a Felony Was Never nsned Legnlly LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 12.—Judge Clarke's letters to Judge Duffie, Sheriff Houpt and Dan Stuart, together with his telegrams to Jim Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmgns, which were given to the public by the Associated press exclusively last night, are the subject of much discussion here today. Ever since the Florida Athletic club changed its base of operations from Dallas to Hot Springs the public has been on tiptoe for some official utterance on the subject, but as the days passed and no word came, people came to the conclusion that the fight would be al- lowed to proceed without interference, as it was gencrally understood that the local peace officers at Hot Springs were favorable to the enterprise and Governor Clarke had more than once expressed his confidence in their abllity to preserve the majesty of the law, it belng inferrsd that the pugilists would be arrested and fined after the contest had taken place. The sentiment here and at Hot Springs is overwhelmingly in favor of the fight tnd even after the disturbing ele- ment and some of Governor Clarke's politi- cal enemies began a clamor against it few people really believed that the contest would not be posted to take place. These letlers published this morning have, therefore, cre- ated a great sensation and the public is eagerly waiting to sce what effect they will have on matters at Hot Springs and what the next move will be. CLARKE NOT PERSONALLY AVERSE. t is well known here that personally Gov- ernor Clarke is not violently opposed to the proposed contest. He is quoted as having sald recently that seven-tenths of the people in Arkansas wanted it; that two-tenths were indifferent, and that all the clamor raised came from the other tenth part of the popu- lation. When Judge Duffic brought the mat- ter to the governor's attention in an official way, however, he was obliged to act, and he at once began a close investigation of his authority in the premises, which resulted in the letters referred to. Governor Clarke's pronunciamento against the fight scems to have had little effect on matters at Hot Springs, and the indications are that the fight will be brought off October Attorney Martin was here last night, and long conference witi nothing s known of them, as Mr. Martin is*said to have had a the authorities, but what passed between eluded the newspaper men. A speclal from Hot Springs to the Daily Democrat, received this afternoon, says: “Jo» Vendig, manager of the Florida Athletic club, and Haller, chief of the bureau of in- formation, arrived this morning. A telegram from Brady says he will arrive tonight Haller is here to arrange for hotel accommo- dations for those attending the fight, He says all the hotels and boarding houses of Little Rock, xarkana and intervening towns will be filled, in addition to all avail- able accommodations here. Hot Springs can not house more than 25,000. It is estimated that 40,000 peopla will come to the state to attend the fight, including many men of wealth."” RAISED THE GUARANTEE. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Oct. 12.—The an- nouncement by Governor Clarke of his de- termination to prevent the Corbett-Fitzsim- mons mill produced no apparent effect here Tho sheriff has not allowed himself to be in- terviewed further than to say that the au- thorities can rely upon him to do his duty under the law. The act'ons (f Miyor Weters can be taken as a criterion by which to judge tho aftitude of the city officials. Whataver these officials may think of the position of Governor Clarke, they are uncommunicative. W. A. Brady arrived here tonight. He was teceived by a deputation headed by Mayor Waters. A mass meeting of citizens was held this afternoon for the purpose of rais- ing by popular subscription the sum of $5.000 as a guarantee. Mayor Waters, in calling tho meeting to order, referred to the dis- tressed condition of business interests here and the financial benefit the city must de- rive from the contest if it is brought off here. A subsc Ip on bank vas prepa d and vassed around, and the necessary amount was subscribed and paid in within thirty minutes, Joo H. Vendig of the Florida Athletic club was present tonight. He said tonight ‘Corbett and Fitzsimmons will be here by Tuesday. The lumber will be here from Dallas in time to put 200 men to work Tues- day. You can say that the contest will surely take place here on October 31.” AUSTIN, Tex., Oct. 12—A well known sporting man in this city says there is but ona placa on the American continent where the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight can be puiled off, and (hat plage is New Laredo, Mexico He says that inasmuch as the governor of Texas has taken the initiative in the matter of excluding the fighters from this state, tha other governors will necessarily follow suit He adds that some three weeks ago the Florida Athletic club signed papers to hav the fight In the bull ring at New Laredo, and up to this hour they have not asked for a release from tho contract, which certainly goes to show that all along the fight man agenient has evidently thought they’ were kicking a brick wall, so far as having the fight in the states was concerned, and have made arrangements for the fight in New Laredo. The gentleman above referred to is a stock owner In the New Laredo bull ring and says he knows whereof he speaks. DALLAS, Tex., Oct. 12.—Rresident Stuart of the Florida Athlstic club, when asked today what answer he would make to tho letier received by him from Governor Clarke of Arkansas, said he would revly to the let- ter in a day gr two, but he had nothing to glve out in the meantime. LUMBER COMPANY TAKES A HAND. DALLAS, Tex., Oct. 12.—The Hope Lum- ber company filed a mechanic's lien today to secure a balance of $24,249 due on lumber used in the amphitheater projected for the big fight. Joe Vendig departed for New York via Hot Springs tonight. He said: “The name of the referee in the Corbett- Fitzsimmons match will b2 given to the pub- lic next Monday night. This is officlal. I do not know how Julian or Fitzsimmons or Brady and Corbstt may view the matter, but speaking for the Florida Athletic club, I can say that the referee will be named at the timo stated.”” R REE CALLE A DRAW, Lavigne Had All the Best of it Over Gpiffo, However. MASPETH, L. I, Oct. 12.—The fight be- tween Young Griffo of Australia and Kid Lavigne of Saginaw, Mich., was declared a draw tonight after twenty hard fought rounds. A warrant had been Issued for the fighters at the instance of Rev. Edward McGuffy of Newton, but the deputy sheriff and other officers refused to serve it, so there was no interruption. A wild cheer of welcome was given to John L. Sullivan when he entered the building of the Empire club, accompanied by Paddy Ryan, “Parson” Davies and others. Every seat in the bullding was taken. Tim Hurst was referee. Just after the prin- cipals had come upon the platform John L. Sullivan had to make a speech, in which he said this was the last year he would put on a glove. Griffo took the aggressive In the first round, but was staggered by a hard blow in the second. In the third he was on the defensive, but in the fifth he got in. Lavigne was gelting the best of it up to the ninth, but Griffo was making a game defense when, in the tenth, he came up winded and did some hugging in the next three rounds to avoid punishment. Still he came to the scratch in the fourteenth with some sharp work, but in the next two rounds was driven to the ropes and kept up his clinching. In the next three innings Griffo nceded wid, and played for it, while Lavigne worked for his heart untll the end of the elghteenth, when he drove the Australlan Into his corner and made him groggy with a shower of blows. In the twentieth Griffo again clinched against his opponent’s rushes until time was called. This ended the battle, and although Lavigne had dewaonstrated his superiority clear through, the referee declared it a dr probably because bath men were on their feet at tbe finish. 4 CRICKET SEASON DULY CLOSED., alill Omahn Players Wih® Up a Summer of Pleasure on'n Bively Piteh.

The good card which had been provided for the last da acing at Gravegend was ruined by scratches, which camejabout through the pouring rain, which speiled the going. In the first race eleven were entered, but only five went to the post, iwith Ben Brush as the favorite. The backfig was justified, for he won very easily. fn the second race tkere was a wild plungé on Captain T. and Governor Sheehan, who s known to be goord in the mud, reached to 1 at the close.

The secretary was welcomed by the dinner committee of the club and escorted to the hotel, where a reception was tendered him by the officers of the club. An hour was spent in general Introductions and hand- shaking and shorily after 7 o'clock the peo- ple filed into the large banquet room. The guest of the evening sat on the right of the president of the club, George S. Hale, who presided. At the same table were Collector Winslow Warren, €. Austin Browne, Post- meeting of the master Coveny, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury C. S. Hamlin, Hon. J. E. Russel, Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, Commander Green, U, S, N., General Francis A. Walker and Prof. N. S. Shaler of Harvard. At the conclusion of the banquet President Hale rapped for order. “We are democrats with Grover Cleve land,” he said, “and republicans with Teddy Roosevelt. Sometimes we are republicans with Edmunds, sometimes with Sherman, and even with Greenhalge. We take our property wherever we find it. But we some- times reject bad material.” Mr. Hale read letters of regret from Carl Schurz, John DeWitt Warner of New York, Senator Hoar, Governor Greenhalge, Lyman J. Gage of Chicago, Chief Justice Field and many others. CHEERED THE SPEAKER. The principal guest of the evening was then introduced. He was recelved with three cheers, led by C. Austin Browne. Sec- retary Carlisle began by asserting that the business men of Doston needed no instruc tions upon the subject of “sound currency. He said they deserved the thanks of the whole country for having kaid aside their party politics In their honest efforts during the past two or three years to uphold the administration at Washington and help sus- tain the credit and honor of the government and prevent the depreciation of its cur- ren He spoke of the action of Boston bankers, who, at a critical period in the business affairs of the country, almost emp- tied their vaults of gold by depositing $4,000,- 000 in the treasury to replenish the vanish- ing reserve, and how, at a later date, “‘when the enemies of the public credit were de- nouncing the administration for its conduc of our financial affairs, th> Boston Chamber of Commerce assembled at a special meeting and unanimously called upon the senators and representatives from Massachusetts to lay amde all questions of party advantage and assist in the work of restoring public confidence.” He said this action hzd been fully appre- ciated at Washington and not wholly unex- pected. Continuing he said: “The mere apprehension that our currency might be debased by the inability of the government to continue the policy of redeeming its ob- ligations in gold has already produced one of the greatest financial disturbances that ever occurred in our history and resulted in the loss of thousands of millions of dollars to our people. There were doubtless other causes contributing to this result, but this was the most potent in this country, and without it we should not have suffered more than other parts of the world from the gen- eral depression. What would have been the consequence it these apprehensions had currency in the hands of the people, no man can tell. ONE CAUSE OF DISTURBANCE. “Fortunately one of the ‘causes which con- tributed largely to produce a feeling of dis- trust and apprehension, and which very greatly intensified that feelng at all the stages of our long financial struggle, has sub- stantlally ceased to exert any influence over the minds of the people here or abroad. I mean the persistent and aggressive agita- tion in favor of the free coinage of logal tender silver, which for a long time seri- ously threatened to revolutionize our monetary system and reduce our entira volume of to about jhalt its present value. I do not mean to assert that there was ever a time when there was real danger that this would be done, but there were times when the sen- timent in its favor was so strong and so ag- gressive in its character that there were at least reasonable grounds for the fear that it might be accomplished, and especial’y reason- able grounds for such a fear upon the part f investors abroad, but the free coinage movement has lost its momentum and is no longer formidable or aggressive. It is on the defensive mow, and waen a revolutionary movement is compelled to halt and defend itself, the end is not far off. “It 'would not be correct to say that the con- test is over, because the sentiment in favor of the free coinage of silver is still quite strong in some parts of the country, but it is not strong enough to exert a controlling influ- ence in the counclls of cither of the great po- litical parties, and without this it can ac- complish nothing in the form of legislation or in the determination of administrative policy. No well informed man now believes that our standard of value will be changed or that the financial policy which has been steadily pur- sued by the present administration will be abandoned.” The secretary then reverted to his oftrepeated arguments n favor of a gold standard as against. the free coinage of silver. ONE OTHER SOURCE OF DANGER. He declared, however, that the abandon- ment or defeat of the free silver movement must not be expected to long be sufficient to insure permanent financial peace. He went at length into the questions of the goy- errment’s obligation under the $346,000,000 of ovtstanding notes subject to redemption upon presentation. One of the most important subjects the people have now to consiter is whether they can afford to adhere longer to a system which pericdically augments the public debt, for the purpose of securing gold by issuing bonds, to be exchanged for notes which, when redeemed, are not re- tired and cancelled, but are reissued and put in circulation to be over and over again presented for redemption. “So far as the merits of this single ques- tion are affected,” he said, “it is immaterial whether our standard of value Is to be gold or silver, because the coin for redemption purposes, whether it be gold eoln or silver coin, must be provided by the government and It can be procured only by the sale of bonds. “Whether we continue to maintain the gold standard of value or debase our currency to the silver standard, the obligation of the government to redeem its notes in coin upon presentation will remain, and consequently the question whether the notes when r deemed shall be retired and cancelled or r issued s one which cannot be avoided or settled by a change in our colnage laws. It must be settled by legislation in another di- rection and the advocates of free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 or at any other ratlo are as much interested in its solution as the opponents of that policy.” The secretary declared it to be his opinion that the notes left outstanding ought to be retired as speedily as a sound and safe cur- rency can be secured to take their places. He #ald he would not take the time to dis- cuss the various plans for the retirement of the old United States notes, but he assured his hearers that until such time as congress should enact the necessary legislation to eliminate this element from the nation's financial system the present administration might be relied upon to follow the course which It has pursued in past emergencles. Collector Warner, Charles Jackson and Hon John E. Russell also spoke. Atehison's Sale Not Fixed, ST. PAUL, Oct. 12.—United States Judge Caldwell sald this afternoon that the exact date for the sale of the Atchlson cannot be fixed until Attorney George D. Peckham, now in this city, returned to New York, but that the sale will probably take place the latter part of November.

LD TO A STRICT ACCOUNT, WMust Observe Treaty Rights or affer the Consequences. NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—A special to the World from Washington says: “The excited dispatches of yesterday from Madrid are ex- plained by facts revealed here today. What this government has done has been to for- mally notify the Spanish government that action recently taken by it In Havana s in violation of the treaty rights of this coun- try, and that for any damage to Amerfcan citizens or American dignitaries therefrom Spain will be eld responsible. Since General Willlams compelled Captain Calleja, while governor general of Cuba, to recognize the treaty of 1877 in the case of Jullo Sanguily, and by so doing prevented the trial of the latter by a military court in Havana last Feb- the Spanish government has been over the question of Mr. Williams' diplomatic_authority. “Senor Canovas, the Spanish prime min- ister, after the subject was fully considered at a meeting of the Spanish ministry, at which he presided in person, decidel to de- prive Mr. Williams of atl diplomatic au thority and confine him strictly to the purely commercial or consular privileges of his of- fice. Accordingly the Spanish minister of colonles instructed General Campos to Inform Mr. Willlams that henceforth he would not be recognized as possessing any authority to transact business with the governor general of Cuba upon other than commercial matters General Campos recently sent for Mr. Wil- Hlams and communicated to him the instruc. tlons from Spain. “Secretary Olney straightway prepared a state paper in which he disagreed entirely with the conclusion of the Spanish minister. The action of the latter was based on the con- sular treaty existing between Spain and the United States. Krom this treaty, signed in 1799, consular officers did not receive au- thority to cover any diplomatic missions, The tr with Spain, however, specifies that United States consular officers shall have all the rights and privileges of ‘the most favored nations.’ This affords the basis for Secretary Olney's demand. The German government has a consular treaty with Spain in which the consuls and the consul general may act as diplomats if the circumstances demand. Sec- retary Olney informs Senor Canovas that the Un'ted Stites demands that Lis gove ernment concede the same privileges to tho Unitel States consul general that are given to the consul general of Germany. The language of Secretary O'ney's dispatch fs sald to be peremptory. Should an American citi- zen be arrested at Havana and subjected to trial by court martial, or should any case arise that calls for prompt action by the con- sul general, the refusal of the local govern- ment to recognize him might lead to disas- trous results.” A dispateh was sent from the World to the staft correspondent in Cuba, directing him to call on Consul General Williams and obtain a statement from him on the above subject. The following reply was receivec “Matter was submitted to Mr. Williams He declined to discuss the subject on the ground that it was a state secret and that he was not at liberty to speak about it. He ad- mitted that General Campos had informed him that e would not henceforth be recog- nized by the government of the is'and in any other than purely commercial and consular matters, e e D AT SALISBURY A Pabli ton AL ns Mu » Bayard, NEW YORK, Oct. 12—The World's Lon- don correspondent cables: “It is the gossip at the clubs that Lord Sackville's pablication was as much in anger against Lord Salis- bury as against Mr. Bayard. Ever since Lord Sackville's return from Washington he has sought another appointment as a vindi- catlon, and lately made a strenuous but futile application for one of the vacant eolonial governorships. The interesting fact, never hitherto published, may now be made known that a demand for Lord Sackville's -recall was mooted in Washington some months before the Murchison incident. When General Phil Shegidan was buried, in the summer of 1888,/ was 1QU Sackvi at Him funeral, not a single member of the BHUSA| legation was present. Invitations were is- sued by the State department, and the cere- mony was therefore national, absence from which on the part of foreign representatives could only be regarded as discourteous. The fact that the famous soldier and com- manding officer of tne American army was of Irish birth made the absence of any repre- sentative of the British legation even of- tensively discourteous. Inquiry showed that while Lord Sackville was absent in Heverly, Mass., the first secretary of the legation had been in Wazhington on the morning of the funeral, and that the invitation had been duly received by him, as well as by Lord Sack- ville at_Beverly. President Cleveland was then urged to de- clare the English minister persona non grata to this government, both on national and party grounds, for so flagrant a discourtesy, but after consideration he decided not to do s0. On party grounds alone it was repre- sented to him that such a step in behalf of tae memory of an Irish Catholic and a sol dier would do much to help him with thos elements of the American people, then sup- pesed to be hostile to him Only Two Favorites Won.
