4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1895. _ W FORAERS. WEN W The Ticket Selected at the Convention in Ohio. BUSHNELL AT THE HEAD. Progress of the Boom of McKinley for the Presi- dency. PLANS FOR THE GREAT BATTLE. There Is Much Speculation, How- ever, as to What Will Hap- pen Next Year. ZANESVILLE, Omio, May 29.—The Republican State Convention was as tame to-day as it was lively yesierday. After being in session until midnight and nomi- nating the head of the ticket, there was little life left in the delegates, and only minor places on the State ticket to be lively over. Owing to the way in which the fac- tional lines had been drawn by the Mec- Kinley and Foraker men in nominating General Bushnell lastnight for Governor, it was evident the slate headed by Bush- nell would go through and that candidates not on the same slate would go down like Nash, Hoyt, Poe, Kiefer, Harris, Barges and Nevin had previously gone down be- fore the anti-administration combination. The administration men did not surrender without a fight, however, and held the convention in continuous session from 9. M. t02:15 P . ‘With a single exception, in which inter- est was taken, the Bushnell slate went through complete, for the eight places on the slate ticket secured a majority of the members and all the officers of the State committee and really made a clean sweep of the old regime. Yet the most material thing for the future is the condition of things which confront McKinley. His Presidential boom in Ohio is in the same embarrassment as was Sherman’s can- didacy under the Foster administration with Garfield’s Senatorial annex in 1880. In 1884 Sherman had the Blaine element as well as Foraker and Foster to contend with. In 1888 Sherman had the same old experience, and in 1896 there will be a Mc- Kinley delegation from Ohio to the Re- publican National Convention, but it will be selected by Foraker and Bushnell no matter what may be the result of the State election next November. The Foraker-Bushnell combination has control of all the party machinery and the present party organization continues until after the selection of the delegates to the next Republican National Convention. Foraker and Bushnell will be two of the delegates at large themselves, and they are not at all likely to grant McKinley permis- sion to name the other two, although it is believed they will consent to 8herman and Foster going to the National Convention as the other delegates at large. Of course, the machine is in such strong hands that it will also control the selection of district delegates, and there are some who think that Foraker may come out in 1896 as Gar- field did in 1880, which would mean that McKinley would come out as Sherman did at that time and in succeeding years. If the Republicans carry the State next November, and Bushnell becomes Gov- ernor and Foraker Senator, there is no telling all that will happen in Ohio in 1896 and thereafter. Should Bushnell serve four years as Governor he would probably succeed Sherman in the Senate, as well as Foraker succeed Brice, and the old school of Republicans would all beretired. There never was a convention in Ohio that in- volved so many radical changes for the future as the one just closed with the Foraker-Bushnell men in the saddles for further conquests. Although it was midnight when the con- vention on the sixth ballot nominated General Asa A. Bushnell of Springfield for Governor, yet the delegates were up early this morning working for the favorites for other nominations. They cheered Chairman Foraker heartily as he entered the hall. The convention re- assembled at9 A. M. Ex-Secretary Charles Foster, chairman of the committee on resolutions, presented the platform, which was adopted amid cheers. General A. W. Jones of Youngstown was nominated for Lientenant-Governor by acclamation. General Jones was, like General Bushnell, captain in the civil war. Both were on Governor Foraker's staff, and are great friends of the ex-Gov- ernor. The Foraker men named the whole State ticket by about the same running vote as that for Governor last night. The Foraker men also secured control of the State Central Committee. The most no- table defeat of to-day was that of Major Charles Dick for Auditor. He had been chairman of the State Executive Commit- tee for three years, and is Governor Mec- Kinley’s manager. Mr. Dick was defeated by W. D. Guilbert, one of the most aggres- sive Foraker men in the State. Senator Sherman, Secretary Foster and other old-time leaders occupied seats on the stage and saw the slaughter of “‘moss- backs” by “kids.” It is conceded that McKinley will be ac- corded the Ohio delegation to the next National convention, but it is ‘whispered that the delegation will be no more sin- cere than that Sherman had when a can- didate for nomination for the Presidency. The following is the ticket as completed: For Governor, Asa A. Bushnell of Spring- field ; Lieutenant-Governor, Asa W. Jones of Youngstown; Auditor, W. D. Guilbert of Caldwell; Supreme Judge, Thaddeus A. Mindshall of Chilicothe; Clerk of the Supreme Court, Josiah B. Allen of Ath- ens; Attorney-General, Frank 8, Monnett of Findlay; Treasurer, S8amuel B. Camp- bell of Steubenville; Member of Board of Public Works, E. L. Libarger of Ooshoc- ton. S RELEAMED AND REARRESTED. No End to the Troubles of & Gay You Eloper. i OKLAHOMA CITY, 0. T., May 29.—The case of the Territory against H. S. Brady, son of T. B. Brady, the Atlanta (Ga.) mil- lionaire, which has been on trial for three days before Justice Stevenson, terminated to-day in the release of young Brady and the taxing of the costs against the prose- cuting witness, John Richards, whose in- dorsement he was accused of securing toa draft by false pretenses. Brady is the man who a few days ago ran away with pretty Nellie Stone and was captured at Emporia, Kan., and brought hack on a requisition of the Governor after a hard legal battle. Immediately aiter his release to-day he was rearrested on complaint of Colonel Edward Stone, uncle of Nellie Stone, charged with attempted abduction. The hearing of this case will commence to MOrrow. = - ——— WILL RESTRAIN THE TROOFPS. Judge Dundy’s Attitude in the Pender Indian Troubles. OMAHA, Nesr., May 29,—Judge Dundy declared himself to a certain extent on the Pender Indian troubles when he dismissed Sheriff John Mullin to-day in the Federal court. The Sheriff of Thurston County was recently indicted by the Grand Jury for elleged interference with Captain Beck’s Indian police on the Winnebago reserva- tion. He had come down to surrender himself and have his trial at once. Judge Dundy-told him to go home and stay there until he was sent for. The Judge declared that he did not intend to sanction inter- ference of Federal officers with State authorities when the latter were doing their duty in serving legal papers. This, it is believed, means that Dundy will restrain Federal troops from interfering if the petition is made. —_— DIRECTOR DAVIS’ REPOURT. Preparing Useful Information About the Great World’s Fair. CHICAGO, Irr., May 29.—H. Davis, director-general of the World’s Fair, will complete his report in about a week. It will consist of from fifteen to twenty volumes, each volume containing about 500 type-written pages. Itis in duplicate, one copy to be furnished to the National Commission and one to the Board of Directors. It will contain about 3100 illus- trations and unmounted photographs. Whether the work is published in printed form will depend upon Congress. Mr. Davis has been engaged in the task since January, 1894, His principal assist- ant was Professor Peabody, chief of the Department of Liberal Arts. Reports from all the heads of departments are em- bodied in the text, which treats of the great enterprise from its inception to the end. CONTROL OF SEMINARIES This Question Is Also Con- sidered by the United Pres- byterian Assembly. Provision for the Removal of Pro~ fessors for Unsoundness In Falth. PITTSBURG, Pa., May 29.—This morn- ing’s session of the United Presbyterian General Assembly was given to hearing reports. The committee on education made a favorable report, showing that the seminaries have productive endowments of $284,000, and colleges have an invested endowment of $348,000. The report of the committee on bills and overtures was then taken up and the ques- tion of seminary control was finally dis- posed of. The majority report proposed that the General Assembly have the veto power and also the authority to remove profes- sors from the seminaries for unsoundness in the faith. The minority report was the same, except that it stipulated that profes- sors should not he removed without first being given a trial. In to-day’s discussion it was found that the signers of the majority report had intended thatany pro- fessor charged with unsoundness of faith should be given a trial before removal, but the report had not stated so. Consequently there was no serious division on the ques- tion, and a resolution was passed embody- ing these propositions. It also provides for the appointment of a committee to negotiate with the synods having control of the theological seminaries with a view to the adjustment of any apparent or alleged discrepancy between this action and their chartered rights. ——e CANAL-BOATS ROTTING. Driven Out of Business by Low Freight Rates. BUFFALQ, N. Y., May 29.—Three hun- dred canal-boats are lying rotting in the water at Buffalo as the result of the low freight rates on grain to New York. The shipments of grain from the West are fully up to the average so far this season, the terminal elevators having already handled 3,500,000 bushels, yet out of this the canal has had only three boatloads, notwith- standing the very low rates offered by the boatmen of 174 for wheat and 134 for oats. The explanation given by the canal men of the enormous decline in business is that the railroads have agents in every corner of the country and by added facilities are able to keep cutting down the rates until a scale has been reached which is ruin- ously low. It is further said that 1000 bushels are now being put into one car, while 400 or 500 bushels were considered a carload a few years ago. Altogether the old Erie canal, which originally perhaps made the Empire State what she is, is passing through a far from bright stage of its history. e e WILKINSON’'S GOOD ADVICE. Bis Annual Report to the Railway Trainmen. GALESBURG, Irv., May 29. — Grand Master Wilkinson submitted his annual report to-day to the convention of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen., He said the Pullman boycott had cost the brotherhood ‘5000 members, and urged legislation that would prevent a recurrence of such trouble. He claimed the brother- hood must respect the law and faithfully comply with its agreements. He recom- mended a constitutional amendment that would make grand masters and vice-grand masters equally liable with the grand treasurer for the proper handling of funds. The convention voted down a proposition to lessen the number of delegates at Na- tional conventions by means of district conventions. —_— Young Wickes Will Wed. ST. LOUTS, Mo., May 29.—The Republic this morning announces that the marriage of T. H. Wickes Jr. and Miss Nana Nelson of Kansas City, which has been postponed on account of parental opposition, will be consummated at an early day. Mr. Wickes is the son of ‘. H. Wickes, vice-president of the Pullman Palace Car Company. Miss Nelson is one of the most beautiful of Kansas City’s many beautiful women. e s Will Close the Mills. PROVIDENCE, R. [., May 29.—In an in- terview one of the Olneyville manufactur- ers said: “The operatives will be given a chance to return to work Monday morning. If they do not avail themselves of the op- portunity and return at the old prices the mills will be closed until next spring.”’ The strikers refuse to credit the statement that work will be suspended until spring. —_— Cornell Oaramen Depart. NEW YORK, N.'Y., May 29.—The Cor- nell University boat crew which will com- pete in the Henley regatta in July sailed for England to-day on board the American line steamer Paris, ALL FAYOR REFORMS, Conference of Munici- pal Leagues of the Nation. WOMEN GOOD WORKERS. Their Labors in Many of the Big Cities Are Highly Appreciated. EVILS THAT ARE TO BE MET. Resolute Determination to Remove the Stigma Upon American Municipalities. CLEVELAND, O=ro, May 29.—Although a few of the famous Americans who are on the programme of the first great conference of the National Municipal League have not yet appeared, the meeting began to-day with a good attendance and prospects for a profitable interchange of ideas. The meeting-room of the Chamber of Com- merce was well filled with delegates and prominent citizens of Cleveland at 3 o'clock when the convention began. J. W. G. Cowles welcomed the league on behalf of the city and a letter of welcome was read from Mayor McKissen, whois not in the city. Hon. James W. Carter of New York, the president of the league, made a brief response. He was followed by Clin- ton Rogers Woodruif of Philadelphia, who read a paper on *“A Year'’s Work for Municipal Reform.” Mr. Woodruff begzan by referring to the rapid progress of municipal reform, the unparalleled civic awakening and truly extraordinary development of interest in municipal affairs during the past fifteen months and the encouragement the move- ment has received. After discussing the success of the movement in various cities he continued: “No account of municipal reform pro- gress would be complete withouta refer- ence to the increasing activity and co-oper- ation of woman. They are rapidly coming to the front both in their own organiza- tions, like the heath protective associa- tions or women clubs, and in organizations like the Civic Federation of Chicago, com- posed of men and women. We find them contributing largely to the study of the complex problems of the cities. There are few communities now that have the right of municipal suf- frage, hence their activity is of neces- sity limited to educational and agitatory efforts and looking after the details of municipal housekeeping. Wherever their efforts have been properly and persistently directed in these channels substantial re- sults have been accomplished, for in these directions women ‘have exceptional ca- pacity to judge. “‘Back of all the diversity of forms,” the speaker continued, “we see a steady, reso- lute determination to remove the stigma that is resting upon American munici- valities. It is the spirit of 1776 and 1860 manifesting itself in & new way. Some of the efforts are crude, some destined to failure, all to temporary defeats, but as surely as our independence and the Union were preserved, just so surely will the evils of municipal misgovernment be eventually conquered and American cities placed where they should be—in the very front rank of well-governed cities. “What the coming year may have in store for the movement cannot be foretold, but of one thing we are assured—the whole question has come to be discussed as never before, and its importance has been brought home to a large number of those who value their political heritage and those interested in their country’s highest development. Something more than this, how- ever, is necessary. A deep-seated determination to sacrifice everything if need be rather than permit the dearly earned libertiesand reputation transmitted to us by our forefathers to be diminished or tarnished by selfish incompetency and inefficiency. The present situation may not be so dramatic as that of 1776 or of 1860, but is equally as portentous to the future welfare and maintenance of our republican States.” James W. Pryor, secretary of the City Club of New York, made a report on the reform efforts in the metropolis. Hon. A. Butler, representing the Mil- waukee League, reported that the work in that city was being prosecuted on a definite plan, and that it had probably determined the character of the next Legislature. Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore re- ported a condition of stapdstill in his city, with a healthy hoss in power; due, he be- lieved, to the fact that all their taxes com- mittee was appointed by a partisan council. George Burnham of Philadelphia re. ported "good progress, As the old corps of officers were all Eastern men the organic law of the league was 5o changed that the nomber of vice- presidents was increased to five and the members of the executive committee to nine in order that the West could be repre- sented. The old officers were re-elected and in addition Western officers chosen as follows: For third vice-president, Thomas N. Strong, Portiand, Oregon, Pres- ident of the Municipal League of Portland; for fourth vice-president, L. E. Holden of Cleveland; for fifth vice-president, Dr. H. Dickson of New Orleans, of the Ballot Re- form League of Louisiana. Executive committee, A. L. Crozier, president of the Minneapolis Board of Trade; Frank N. Hartwell, president of the Good Government Club of Louisville. A public meeting was held in the even- ing at the First Methodist Church, Presi- dent Wilson M. Day of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, in the chair. James C. Carter of New York, president of the National Municipal League, made his annual address, which was an interesting exposition of the aims of the organization. Hon. Bert Walsh of Philadelphia fol- lowed with an address upon the municipal condition of that city, which he said was as bad as it could be, and Charles G. Bona- parte of Baltimore spoke in a general way of the league’s work. e DONE By THE DEPUTY. Stealings in a Kentucky Office Traced to a Suicide. CHICAGO, Try., May 29.—A special from Lexington, Ky., says: When ex-Collector Bull Davidson’s books were found to be short a few weeks ago it caused a sensation and nearly resulted in bloodshed. The expert who found the shortage now an- nounces that the present City Collector, Captain 8, D. Sharp, who succeeded Dick Tate as Treasurer of Kentucky, has a shortage in his books of $19,233. W. P, ‘Welch, who was chief deputy under both Davidson and Sharp, is believed to have taken the money. He was drowned last summer and owing to the fact that he made no effort to save himself and made no outery, coupled with the investigation of his books, which was about to be set on foot, many persons thought he committed suicide. He carried over $30,000 life in- surance, which has been collected. — —— RETURN OF AN EXILE. General Marques Back én Mexico After Twenty Years’ Banishment. CITY OF MEXICO, Mex., May 29— General Leonardo Marquez has arrived in this capital after a twenty-seven years’ residence abroad under banishment from Mexico for taking part in the French in- tervention. When Maximilian and Gen- erals Miramon and Mexia were shot at Queretaro in 1867, General Marques nar- Towly escaped a like fate, only saving him- self by bribing the officials in charge of the cemetery of Los Angeles, in this city, thus being allowed to secrete himselfin a newly made sepulcher. His capture being finally made, he was not shot as the Mexi- cans had intended, but was given banish- ment instead. He is now allowed to re- turn by the grace of President Diaz, who has long been urged to grant clemency by the friends of General Marquez. ey VICTORY OVEE INSURGENTS. Spanish Troops Relentlessly Purswing the Cuban Rebels. HAVANA, Cusia, May 29.—Captain- General de Campos has assured the news- papers of the province of Puerto Principe that the Government will contribute $20,- 000 per month for the construction of the railroad between Puerto Principe, the capital of that province, in order to give employment to about 700 laborers. It is determined also to finish the war soon, even if it is necessary to bring more troops from Spain. MADRID, SeaiN, May 2.—An official dispatch from Havana announces that the Spanish troops have won a victory over the insurgents commanded by Maco. Two small bands of insurgents in the vicinity of Camaguez are being actively pursued. MADE MAD BY THEIR FEAR Panic Among the Passengers of the Sinking Steamer Dom Pedro. During the Rush to Escape Over One Hundred Persons Meet Death. LONDON, Exc., May 29. — Additional details have been received of the loss of the French steamer Dom Pedro off Cape Corrobedo, on the west coast of Galyra, Monday. The weather was fine and the sea calm, but the Dom Pedro struck on the rocks, which are difficult to locate even in good weather. There was a terrible shock as the steamer struck, and a panic followed, especially among the women, causing all the other passengers to lose their heads. They tried to seize the lifeboats, life- preservers and other objects capable of supporting persons in the water. In order to prevent the passengers from sinking the boats in lowering them, the captain was obliged to threaten them with revolver in hand. Many persons kept afloat after the steamer foundered by clinging to wreck- age until they were rescued by fishermen from the shore. It is estimated thatone hundred people, most of whom were pas- sengers, lost their lives, The Dom Pedro wasto have taken on board 200 additional passengers at Carril. They were nearly all emigrants for Argen- tine. Itis reported thatthe captain and the other twenty-six survivors are being cared for by the authorities ashore. LEETTRIR MAY RENEW THE WAR. Formosa the Cause of Further Hostilities in the Orient. LONDON, Exa,, May 20,—A special dis- patch to the Pall Mall Gazette from a cor- respondent at Shanghai says a renewal of hostilities is imminent. The Viceroy of Formosa is said to have rebelled against the Government of Peking. The Japanese ships are reported cleared for action. The French ships at Tamsui, Formosa, are also said to have been pre- pared for action. In addition rumors of Russian intervention are current at Shang- hai and steamers have been ordered to Tien-Tsin with provisions in view of the probability of Russian hostility. s Death of & Cardinal. ROME, Itavny, May 29.—Cardinal Louis Buffo-Scilla is dead. He was born at Pa- lermo on April 6, 1840, and was created Cardinal on December 14, 1891. He was Archbishop of Chieta. Sl A On a Gold Basis. ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, May 29.—A law has been passed permitting commer- cial transactions in Russia to be conducted on a gold basis, e The Now York at Southampton. SOUTHAMPTON, Exe., May 29.—The United States cruiser New York, which sailed from New York May 18, has arrived here, IRVING'S SUOOESS. How a Man’s Seeming Misfortunes May Sometimes Prove His Best Friends. Bpeaking of Irving, it is interesting to notice some of the originals from whom his characters were drawn. Sophie Spar- kle in “Salmagundi’’ is Mary Fairle, who was one of the brightest New York girls of that day. She afterward married Cooper, the tragedian. Laucelot Langstaff, an- other character in ‘‘Salmagundi,” was drawn from Joseph Dennie, then noted as a magazine editor. Wolfert Webber in “Tales of a Traveler” is a reproduction of Henry Brevoort, the old market gardener whose house was one of Irving’s early re- sorts. The gentleman fisherman in the “Sketch Book,”” who had such a complete outfit and yet caught nothing, is taken from young Henry oort, son of the former; and John Howard Payne is the original of Buckthorne, or the man of great expectations, in “'rales of a Tray- eler.” This shows that the best materials and characters for fiction are often found in daily life, A It is & curious feature in Irving’s history that it illustrates the doctrine of the ‘‘sur- vival of the fittest.” He wasalawyer, a merchant and an author, but is only known as the latter. He studied law and was ad- mitted to the bar, but did not like the %ru— fession and hence could not succeed. His brothers then took him into partnership and sent him to Li to establish a branch, but he was as unfit for trade as he was for law. The firm, however, soon failed and Irving was obhtedl togo tm19§h bankru; Liverpool court. is was i h:p:)orbe‘{innin , but the in« competent lawyer and the broken mer- chant gradually developed into the highest literary success, thus showing that one’s misfortunes may sometimes prove one’s best friends.—Macaulay, correspondent Rochester Democrat. e Mo-‘tr of the&h:% p;:drlz lar %nu come 2 oyster of Lower Sme om the P] ¥t POWER AND WEALTH, Pointed Comparisons Are Made by Michael Mulhall. THE FORCE OF NATIONS. More Energy in the United States Than Any Other Country. AMERICANS AS PRODUCERS. One Farmhand Here Ralses as Much as Four In France and Six In Austria. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 29.—The Eng- lish statistician, Michael G. Mulhall, pub- lishes in the June number of the North American Review, just issued, an article on “The Power and Wealth of the United States.” Mr. Mulhall’s conclusion is that “if we take a survey of mankind in ancient or modern times as regards the physical, me- chanical and intellectual force of nations, we find nothing to compare with the United States in this present year of 1895,” and that the United States possesses by far the greatest productive power in the world. He asserts that the absolute effective force of the American people is now more than three times what it was in 1860, and that the United States possesses almost as much energy as Great Britain, Germany and France collectively, and a ratio falling to each American is more than what two Englishmen or Germans have at their dis- He points out by a careful comparison between the conditions in these different countries that an ordinary farmhand in the United States raisesas much grain as three in England, four in France, five in Germany or six in Austria. One man in America can produce as much flour as will feed 250, whereas in Europe one man feeds only thirty persons. Mr. Mulhall calls special attention to the fact that the intellectual power of the great repubtic is in harmony with the industrial and mechanical, 87 per cent of the total population over 8 years of age being able to read and write. ““It may be fearlessly asserted, said he, “that in the history of the human race no nation gver before possessed 41,000,000 in- structed citizens.” In classifying the whole wealth of the Union under the heads of urban and rural he finds that rural agricultural wealth has only quadrupled in forty years, while urban wealth has multiplied sixteen- fold. In an important series of figures it is shown that the ‘rise in wealth and the increase of wages came almost hand in hand.” In dealing with the develobment of farm values Mr. Mulhall makes the {ol- lowing statement: “If the United States had no urban pop- ulation or industries whatever the advance of agricultural interests would be enough toclaim the admiration of mankind, for it has no parallel in history.” SIR VISTO THE WINNER, Lord Rosebery Again Captures the Great English Derby. All the American Horses Scratched for the Epsom Downs Event. EPSOM DOWNS, Exc., May 29.—Sir Visto won the Derby to-day. There were fifteen starters. Sir Visto is owned by Lord Rosebery. 8. Loates rode Sir Visto. T. Cannon’s Curson, ridden by Challoner, was second and Sir J. Blundell Maple's Kirk Connell, ridden by Bradford, was third. There were fifteen starters, as fol- lows: Beck Hampton, Curson, Gallopian, 8ir Kirk Connell, The Owl], Laveno, Levar, Raconteur, 8ir Visto, Slowstep, Solaro, Chibabos, The Brook, Villieres and Sal- vington. The betting at the start was 9 to 1 against Sir Visto, 33 to 1 against Curson and 100 to 8 against Kirk Connell. Mr. Brassey’s Chibabos led until the horses were descending the hill, when General Randolph’s The Brook took a slight lead. On turning into the straight A.D. Cochrane’s Beck Hampton took up the running, followed by T. Cannon’s Cur- son, but inside the distance Lord Rose- bery’s Sir Visto.came along with a rattle and won in 2:432-5. Fairie’s Solaro was fourth. Lord Rosebery won the Derby in 1894 with Ladas. 8ir Visto, the Derby winner,was trained by Matt Dawson. He ran well in the 2000 guineas, but was two lengths behind La- veno at the finish, Kirk Connell, the third horse, was oringinally the property of W. A. Cooper, but was purchased recently by 8ir John Blundell Maple for 5000 guineas. He spent 2000 guineas and defeated H. McCalmont’s Raconteur and Lord Rose- bery’s 8ir Visto. This caused the race of to-day to be one of the most important Derbys in years. All calculations were upset by the per- formances of Kirk Connell, 8ir Visto and Raconteur and when Kirk Connell ran unplaced in the Newmarket stakes, and that event was easily captured by an- other horse of Sir Blundell Maple, The Owl, the prophets were more at sea than ever. The victory of Sir Visto was the occa- sion for a demonstration equal to that which greeted the victory of Lord Rose- bery’s Ladas last year. The Prince of Wales was cheered when his two-year-old bay colt Courier, by Hamp- ton out of Marguerite, won the Caterham plate earlier in the day. The Caterham plate is 2000 sovereigns for two-year-olds and fillies. Originally Richard Croker’s Belle Meade, Montaux, Hobert III and Matty Bump (dead) were entered for this event. All the American horses were scratched. The great changes that have marked each succeeding Derby for several years past were more marked than ever to- Y. The glory of the road to Epsom when everybody used to make their way here on coaches and in all sorts of style of car- riages is a thing of the past. Of course the road to-day all the way from London was alive with vehicles of all descriptions, bu‘t now all the English “swells” avoid the long dusty noisy journey which necessi- tates a start from London before . M., and instead they breakfast quietly st their usual hour, take their usual airing in Hyde Park, and at 12 or 1o’clock they pmceed quietly to Victoria or Waterloo railway station, and are whisked down to the 1ace- | course in half an hour. ON THE EASTERN TRACKS. There Is a Glaring Case of “Puly Against Jockey Sloane. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 20.—Six events were watched by 3000 people at Fair Association Park to-day. None of the six favorites won. In the fourth race all bets were declared off. Cash Sloane, who had the mount on St. Augustine, who was heavily played, was put on the rack by the judges, who charged him with pulling his mount. Action on his case was deferred until to-morrow. Suspicions of the public were aroused by the fact that the knowing ones among the bookies were laying 2 to 1 straight and even money for a place on St. Augustine. 8ix furlongs, Willie B won, Geraldine second, Lottie Mills third.

SAN JOSE, Carn., May 29.—The race mesting of the San Jose Road Club next Baturday bids fair to be successful. There are fifty-five entries, among them many prominent riders. Twenty-four riders are entered in the novice race, 33 in the two-mile class A event, 17 in the mile seratch, class A, ana 10 in the class B two-mile handicap. Castleman, Barke and Foster have entered for the class B event. A. M. Boyden and Griffiths of Oakland are to go against the coast tandem record. The Brooklyn Derby. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 29, — The Brooklyn Derby will be run at Gravesend to-morrow. Itisfor three-year-olds at a mile and a quarter, and is worth in the vicinity of $5000 to the winner. The pri- vate sweepstakes for fillies, two-year-olds, at five furlongs, in which four will start, should also prove an attractive contest. The stake is worth $3100. The entries for the two star events are: Private sweep- stake, five furlongs—Lorraine, Axiom, Bessie Browning, Belle Amie, 110. The Brooklyn Derby, mile and a quarter— Counter Tenor, 127; Keenan, True Penny, Kennet, Sir Galahan, 122. READY TO BREAK RECORDS. Chicago Wheelmen Enthusiastic Over the Road Race. CHICAGO, Irv., May 29.—To-morrow will be the day of the great Chicago road race, the event which, in the affairs of wheelmen for miles about, is the most im- portant of anything that transpires during the entire season. Although it virtually opens the season of bicycle-rucing in and about Chicago, it is regarded with greater zeal by the bicyclists than any of the many meets and tournaments that come later. To win the Chicago road race is of more value to the wheelmen with racing aspira- tions than anything else in the list of his desires, and from the day of May 30, if he has been a winner, he dates his greatness. A large number of the riders went over the ground yesterday, that being the last day of preparation. To-day they will either go over the length of the race quietly or take absolute rest, for it is part of the method of the young men training for a hard struggle on his machine to interpose a lull in his training immediately preceding the time when he will be called upon for all his vitality. If the weather be favorable more riders will start and better time will probably be made than ever before in the history of the event. Who will be first under the wire is a puzzle too hard to be guessed, as, in all probability, he will be a rider unknown to the public. The winner of the time-prize, howevef-, will probably be one of a dozen riders who are well known. He may be Winship, De- cardy, Bainbridge, Peck, or some other of the fast brigade, but, whoever he be, he will probably be forced to cover the course much quicker than last vear, Record breaking is the talk of the hour in discussing road-race meets. The course isnow in fine condition except that itis too dry. Last year the time record made by Peck and Bainbridge was 54:36. Wheel- men talk of lopping off a good bit from that. 1f the day 1s fair and wind and rain Xkeep off there will probably. be a good deal of a cut. WITH A FLYING START. Dirnberger Goes a Mile in One Forty- Five Flat. LOUISVILLE, Kvy., May 20.—M. F, Dirnberger Jr., the star of the Syracuse team, to-day rode one mile, flying start, in 1:45 flat, breaking the world’s record of 1:473-5, He was paced the full distance by the Syracuse quad manned by the greatest quad team in the world, Pat O’Connor on the first seat, Wililam H. Terrill on the second, Jack Coburn on the third and Biily Hamilton on the rear, This is the first time a mile record has been attempted so early in the season and stamps the rider and the performance as being truly remarkable. Dirnberger will go for other short-distance records in a few days, weather permitting. Captain of the Harvard Team. CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 29.—J. L.

SCHULZ Calls Attention to the Present Encroachment of Amer- icans. SEA ANIMALS MADE SCARCE. Lucrative Catch of the Foreigners Enviously Watched by the Canadians. OTTAWA, OxTARIO, May 29.—In his" re- port to the Government Lieutenant-Gov- ernor Schulz, referring to the encroach- ment of American whalers in Hudson Bay, says: “After a cessation of their efforts for a number of years American whalers have again resumed their former practice of wintering their ships at Marble Island, from which part of Cane ‘ ada, it will be remembered, the almost complete denudation of sea animal life in our great Canadian sea was effected, and our custom regulations and some other laws (especially relating to individe uals) were completely ignored. The pres- ent whaling ships, which wintered in our harbor on that island last winter (that of 1893-94) no doubt pursue the same meth- ods as those of past years. It is a gratifying evidence that dur- ing the years of rest from pursuit and attack the whale, walrus and seal have in- creesed in the northwestern waters of the bay; yet I have again to repeat the warn- ing given so many times since I first brought the matter up, seventeen years ago, that without some control is exercised over the present method of killing those animals which will aliow them a fair chance of escape, and of restocking these once valuable ‘waters, the merciless bomb, lance and gun and other appliances which give these creatures no chance of life at all will speedily destroy the last hope of restock- ing the Canadian waters. ‘While alluding to this violation of our laws by foreign whalers, I have had occa- sion from time to time to call your atten- tion to the large and lucrative catch of sea animals by the foreign whaling fleet which, having its headquarters at San Francisco, annually enters the Arctic Sea through Bering Strait in pursuit of whalebone, ivory, ete. i So long as this fleet was admitted to thed) short season when Point Barrow could not be safely passed and repassed,and many be lated ships were crushed on the dangerous Alaskan coast, there was little danger of the denudation of those seas. But the loss of life was so great and the crushed ships so many that the Govern- ment of the United States decided to main- tain a permanent relief station on Point Barrow, and the United States ship Thetis, being detailed to escort three ships and men to build the station, sailed east after doing so, to be near the fleet should her services be required by disabled ships. While thus engaged she found, sounded and mapped the valuable harbor on the Canadian island lying near our Arctic coast and about one hundred miles west of one of the mouths of the Mackenzie River, known as Herschel Island. No more perfect Arctic harbor could pe found, as it was on the southern side, near enough to the Arctic coast to main- tain daily communication with the Esqui- maux and far enough to allow late fall en- try and early spring departure an excel- lent entrance and deep water, with good holding ground within. Foreign whalers have been quick to ses its advantages as giving them nearly dou. ble the length of their fishing period. —_— English Dialect Dictionary. The exact form of the long-contemplated English Dialect Dictionary, which is to comprise a complete vocabulary of all dia- lect words still in use or known to have been in use during the last 200 years, is now settled. It will be published, always provided the requisite number of subscrib- ers is forthcoming, in half-yearly parts, which will be forwarded to subscribers in return for a guinea a year, and sold to the gubhc at fifteen shillings each net. The rst part will be ready in June, 1896, and the work will be completed in about six- teen parts. A curious feature about the publication of this dictionary is the issne of a limited edition de luxe, 250 copies, on hand-made paper, says the Westminster Gazette. The American Dialect Society has placed at the disposal of the editor, Professor Jo- seph Wright,'complete material for'thedia~ lects of the other side of the Atlantic. As re§nrdu' the British side of the work, some- hi like 200 people in all parts of the lungiom have been collecting material during the past twenty-one years, and during the last year, in consequence of a special appeal being made, 400 more work= ers have joined the ranks. There are now compeleni: sub-editors of the dictionary in nearly every county. Some idea of th quantity of the written information ob tained may be gained from the fact that the slips relating to the letter 8 alone weigh over two hundredweight. MME.
