He was received by the British residents and pre- | sented with a numerously signed address of welcome. Cholera still spreads slowly, although it has not -as yet made any very alarming ravages. In imports there is very little doi but there is a steady business both | in silk and tea. | Among many proofs of stubborn cour- | age shown by insurgents of Formosa, per- haps the most remarkable was the con- | duct of a small body—about 200 strong— | vho had their headquarters a! place a 19th inst., and received at general head- quarters on the 20th inst. at 4:25 p. M., says that after the attack on Lung Tan Pe (Ryotanpa) on the 14th inst., Major- General Yamane stopped at that place to awsit the arrival of the battalion under Captain Bejo. A scouting party was sent out toward Takaha (Takokan), but they were not able to learn anything of the whereabouts of the battalion. On the 15th inst. it is feared that things were critical in the direction of Tao Tsz Yuen(Toshi En), but immediate aid was impossible, because the road to the place was occupied by the enemy and a force of more than 10,000 was at- Gilanza, holding a strong position, which would have to be taken before an advance could be made. On the 16thinst., however, early in the morning, the place was attacked and speedily taken. Then, turning in the direction of Tak- cham, the corps proceeded to Tung Taipo, where a messenger, dispatched from the battalion under Captain Bejo was met, who reported the critical situation of the latter. So a forced march was made to Takcham and an attack was made together with the battalion under Captain Bejo from both sides, Takcham being captured at 6 P. M. The battalion under Captain Bejo subsisted for several davs on rice gruel. The casualties up to this time of the last engagement was five killed and twenty-five wounded in the batialion un- der Captain Bejo, while there were in ad- dition some twenty killed and wounded in the corps under Major-General Yamane. In the engagement 100 of the enemy must have been killed. Private advices from an officer in For- mosa, published in Tokio papers, state that the obstinate resistance of the enemy continues. On the 10th inst. at about 5 A. M., some 700 rebels attacked the Japan- ese position at Sanchoh. The force under Colonel Sakai repulsed them after fighting till 6:30 ». M. The enemy made a bold stand for thirteen hours, in spite of their small number. A telegram from the Jiji Shipo’s corre- spondent at Ujina states that on the 13th inst., while the envoy of the army stores was proceeding from Haishankou, rather more than one ri from Taipeh, the escort was attacked by about 150 of the enemy. The Japanese being outnumbered retreated, leaving the stores in the enemy’s hands. Afterward a company of Japanese troops from Hai- shankou pursued the enemy and drove them into their fortres: In this action the Japanese loss was seventeen killed and wounded. On the 14th instant two com- panies of a mixed detachemcent at Tao Tze Yuen encountered a force of the enemy and a severe fight ensued. Adjutant Yo- shida and another were killed and two men wounded in the engagement. The scouts advanced $> Taliekong and effected led Anping Ch a short distance to southeas Tiong Lik, between Tai | Peh and Chuh. Connection between | the two last pl. being frequently threat- | ed bands of insurgents, | Major Miki was ordered to seek out their 5 onghold and extirpate them. Asare- | & of reconnoissences ‘made by him was | discovered the ememy’s stronghold. It consisted of two strongly built brick houses, surrounded on al! sides by !hick‘ groves ¢f bamboos at Anping Chen. The | major.attacked this position on the 28th | ult., but the enemy defended themselves g0 well, firing through holes in the walls of the houses, that the Japanese officer, in view of the waste of life that must be caused -by storming. the stronghold, de- cided to retreat and bring artillery to bear on the houses. The atzack was repeated on the 2d inst. The outer works, consisting of a circle of bamboo fences with a thick backing of fire- proof bricks, were taken without much difficulty, but the insurgents in the houses | kept up a well-aimed fire throughout the | whole day, notwithstanding that several holes were blown open in the wall. The nese troops, carelessof the enemy’ e, approached the houses, but it d evidently have been madness to at- empt an.entry through the holes in the walls so long as the defenders were able to pour a rain of bullets on all the approaches. Once more the Japanese retreated, not, however, until one of the gates had been blown up, g four of the insurgents posted in the vicinity. The next day the Japanese - again marched against the stronghold, when they found it entirely | deserted by 1ts doughty defenders. The | bhouses contained a large number of corpses. The Japanese loss was 11 killed and 20 wounded. Another small body of insurgents were stationed at a place a short distance from Sin Chuh. A company of troops, with two motintain guns, were sent to attack the post on the 4th inst. The enemy fired from houses in the village, which consequently had to be burned down. On the insurgents retreating into their barracks, a plunging boring elevation, with the result that sev- énteen were shot down and the resttook to flight. With the reduction of these two places communications between Sin Chuh and Tai Péh were completely secured against interruption- by insurgents. Gavernor-General Viscount Kabayama is reported to have sent a note toLi Yung Fu, advising him to surrender. The fol- lowihg from Governor-General Viscount XKahayasa, under date Tai Peh, 8:50 a. »r., July-18, was received at general headquart- s at 8 p. . on the same day: *-%The éondition of the enemy at Ah Ping and in this vicinity is not known with certainty. According to one report the weather being very bad no new movements are being made by the Black Flags, who are engaged in strengthening their de- fenses, According to. another report the custom-house at Ah Ping has been re- opened under the management of the rébels. The man-of-war that visited the coast off Ah Pang reports that the flags of England and Germany were noticed flying’ in the foreign settlement, probably over consulates of the respective powers; that a British man-of-war was seen lying at anchor- mear land, and that, according to information obtained from Chinese junk men, the force of the enemy at Ah Pihg 'is not so large as before. There is another rumor that the enemy in the vieinity of Ah Ping has advanced as far as Chia Hai. Tt is also said that in the enemy’s force which attacked Shanchoh on -the 10th inst. Chinese regulars mixed with native volunteers, and their number was greater than expected, having been some 2000. Considered from this circum- starice it is believed that a portion of the enemy at Tainan and its vicinity may have gdvanced northward. At present great difficulty is experienced in obtaining information of the movements of the enemy:at Ah Ping and neighborhood.” Another telegram from' the governor- general, dated Taipeh, 1:40 ».

On the 16th instant an explosion of gun- powder occurred at the A h Ping forts by which over twenty Chinese soldiers were killed and some seventy wounded. The Nichi Nichi says that unexpected re- istance is being offered by the insurgents in Formosa, and the authorities are con- sidering the advisability of increasing the forces there. If necessary the whole of the second division will be dispatched, but it is not likely that the corps d’armee will be formed of two divisions and placed un- der command of a field marshal, as there is no necessity for planning operations of large forces on a grand scale, the insnr- gents having no great base of operations to be taken. Advices from the Pescadores state that early last month, the mixed detachment stationed there having been dispatched to Formosa, leaving only two companies to garrison the islands, a number of pirates who exist among the inhabitants availed themselves of the opportunity by stealing arms, stores, etc., from the depots. Sev- eral of the pirates have been killed by the soldiers and their accomplices severely punished, producing a good effect. and the thefts have now ceased. TAYLOR PLEADED GUILTY South Dakota’s Defaulting Treasurer Ready for Sentence. Before a Crowded Courtroom He Admitted That He Stole the State’s Money. PIERRE, 8. D., Aug. 13.—In the Circuit Court this morning W. W. Taylor, the de- faulting Treasurer of South Dakota, was District Attorney Holmes read the complaint to him. His attorneys, Messrs. Horner and Stewart, asked for a few moments, and they were closeted with Taylor. The in- dictment charged Taylor with embezzling $367,023 84, the property of South Dakota. The defense demurred to the indictment on the ground that the Hughes County Grand Jury had no jurisdiction, and the indictment contained two or three distinct charges. The court overruled the demurrer. The defendant waived time 1n which to plead and Judge Gaffey read the indictment again, and Taylor, in a strong voice, though he was ashy pale, said “Guilty.” The court said that the statutes of the State fixed the time at not less than two di for the passage of judgment and fix- ing the sentence. The attorneys for the defense waived time and asked that the sentence be passed to-morrow at 10 o’clock, and that the Judge fix the bail. Judge Gaffey refused to grant bail, and fixed the time for sentence for to-morrow , and placed Taylor in charge of Price until that time. The city is filled with peovle from all over the State to hear the trial. ‘laylor's wife, who is stopping at an hotel, was not present. His brother was in the courtroom. 3 . DA GAMA’S BODY FOUND.

It was buried with military honors in Rivera. Friends say that it was hor- ribly mutilated. It was identified by the clothing. — Senora Burtow’s Kemains.

Maguire the Orator of the Occasion. SCHEEL LEADS THE BAND, Literary and Musical Exercises at the Columbia The- ater. THE NIGHT AT THE PAVILION. Successful Inauguration of the Twenty-Eighth Industrial Exposition. The opening exercises of the twenty- eighth industrial exhibition of the Me- chanics’ Institute, held vesterday after- noon at the Columbia Theater, brought out an audience which filled that pretty playhouse to the eaves and forced even ladies to secure such resting places as were ‘esting ana highly instructive, and the good points made therein were liberally applauded by its auditors. The speaker congratulated the representatives of the mechanical arts upon the glorious achieve- ments of the past half century. During the past fifty years the march of material progress along the lines of mechanical im- provements had indeed been little short of the marvelous, and during that period the forces and elements of earth, sea and air had been harnessed to man’s service with tenfold greater rapidity and efficacy than ever before. i The speaker quoted exhaustively from the work of Hon. Carroll D. Wright, United States Commissioner of Labor Statistics, on “Industrial Depressions.” He showed that 35,000,000 men working under the old methods would be required to do the work now accomplished by 4,000,000 men with the aid of machinery. He even went into minor details, pointing out how many times the work of one man under old con- ditions was now produced by a single machine in various lines of manufacture. Continuing he said: y These inventions and improvements in wealth-producing machinery are all glorious, They 117 man_above the level of drudgery and make him what the Author of his being de- signed him to be—an intelligent director of the forces of nature—and they give him time for the cultivation of his intellectual and moral nature. It is these triumphs of genius over the Tesources of nature that we here celebrate, and we stimulate and encourage the efforts of genius to further efforts. But a good many thoughtiul men and women among us are asking: “Is it not possible that these inventions, these enormous contribu- tions to man’s power over_the elements of na- ture, have failed to benefit any portion of the human race which has come under thescope of their influence? Isit not possible that these great achievements, so well calculated to Tighten the evil and increase the happiness of all mankind, have worked injury tosome of our fellow-men?” Looking to the inventions and their neces- sary results as causes 1 unhesitatingly answer MURDER THE CHARGE. Marquis de Nayve Was Held for Trial in France. TRULY A BIG SENSATION. Indicted on a Charge of Slay- ing the Son of His Rich Wife. A CLAIM OF CONSPIRACY MADE. There Is a Deep Scandal and Pro-~ ceedlngs for Divorce Behind the Affalr. BOURGES, Fraxce, Aug. 13.—The in- dictment court here has commifted the Marquis de Nayve for trial at the Cher assizes on the charge of murdering the ille- gitimate son of his wife. The case isa sensational one. The Marquis de Nayve has been imprisoned since the middle of S HALLIDIE SEETCHES AT THE OPENING EXERCISES 0¥ THE MECHANICS’ FAIR. [Drawn by a “Call” artist.] afforded by the arms of aisle seats.in the orchestra. The afternoon programme was a long one. - Fritz: Scheel’s orchestra of thirty pieces seated on the stage opened the ex- ercises with an exquisite rendition of Schleicher’s “March of Progress,” a com- position dedicated by the author to the in- stitute, and then President Hallidie de- livered an address of welcome. He referred briefly to the persistent, unselfish labors of the institute in encouraging local manu- facturers and the development of home industry.. He alluded to the Manufactur- ers’ and Producers’ Association.and pro- claimed the sympathy with such orzaniza- tions that the institute fostered, and ex- lained the objects of its fairs. Continu- ing he said: In bringing together the results of man’s in- dustry and intelligence under the broad roof of the Mechanics’ Pavilion, this society is practi- cally carrying into effect the injunction of its constitution, which requires “‘devotion to progress in the economic industries,” and it is a practical illustration, through the exhibition now belng opened, of the force and truth of the ideas at this time being advocated by the asso- ciations of citizens that have organized to de- velop the manufacturing and producing inter- ests of this State, to better the City govern- ment, and to give a legitimate and healthy im- petus to needed imgrovements in this City. In all these movements the Mechanics’ Institute is heartily in sympathy. The prosent industrial exbibition the citizens of California can take pride in, because, im- perfectas it may be, it is based upon the idea of develoning the manufacturing capecity of the State by an exposition of the product of the mechanical industries, and of demonstrating the originality and genius of her artists. The trustees have vigorously excluded the army of forelgn agencies, except where anovel and attractive exhibit of educational value has been offered. The purpose of this exhibition has been principaily educational. In its preparation the management bas endeavored to provide space for the representation of all the local in- ustries, but many may have been unable to obtein space from the late hour of their appli- cation and trom the lack of available room. As_there has been an interruption in the regular industrial expositions of the Mechan- ics’ Institute since the fall of 1891, a recrgani- zation of the administration became necessary and many new features have been ingrafted which will be improved in the future, the in- tention being to hold these expositions annual- 1y hereafter, and during this interregnum this State and City have gone through a period of remarkable depression and lethargy. This de- ression and this lethargy are passing away. Fhe people of the City and State are awaking to the fact that, as individual success depends upon the personal efforts of the individual, so the success of & community depends on the efforts of the community, and that those efforis must be devoted to developing the resources God has given to man and Nature to the soil. Mr. Hallidie alluded, also, to the good record made by San Francisco in that the City had maintained its relative position toward other cities of the United States in population in the number of its shops aud manufactories and in the number of men employed therein, while the value of the raw material used in its manufactures had greatly increased. % Following President Hallidie’s address came a recitation by Carroll Smith—an amusing morsel, something about a chip- munk and a dog. Ferris Hartman was down on the programme for a comic song, but be failed to putin_an a;.:lpenunce, 50 the orator of the day, Hon.James G. Ma- guire, was next introduced. : Judgevmg\m'e'a speech was long, inter- | that no man has ever been injured by these advances in material progress; that their effect and tendency have always and every- where been to benetit every human being hin the range of their influence. ‘The enormous displacement of labor bron%h‘: c! w | about by these inventions, the misery to whi millions of the displaced laborers are driven in enforced idleness, after being displaced by the labor-saving Inventions, are charged to the inventions. Side by side with the material El’ogresa of which I have spoken, there has een going on, proportionately, a displacement of manual laborers, formerly engaged in the production of the things now produced by the machines and methods invented. And we have observed that of the labor so displaced a very large proportion is unable to find other means of support. Forced into involuntary idleness they are subjected to the most terrible and_ heart-rending suffering for lack of food, clothing and sheiter, all of which are more abundantly and more cheaply produced by reason of the inventions; and ail of whic should be brougnt and naturally would be brought more fuily within the reach of all by Teason of the new process. It is not within the scope of my to-day to discuss the causes of this unnatural evil result following the introduction of labor- saving machinery, nor to propose remedies for the evil; but it is essential that those who ad- vocate the further stimulation of inventions should be satisfied that they are not the cause of the deplorable and widespread misery now prevailing among the masses of our fellow- urpose here men. If I believed that material progress neces- sarily caused the misery and wretchedness which I have observed for mlni years to be widely existing among millions of our people who are compelled to live in idleness while suffering for want of the things that labor would produce I would unhesitatingly oppose the further progress of inventions and {avor a return to such primeval methods of wealth production as would restore the happiness once enjoyed by our people when fully employed and contented, But I am fully convinced that the invention of labor-saving machinery and its use in the production of wealth has no natural or neces- sury tendency to produce anything but good to any man or woman in_the world. And I am not willing that this great agency for good shall be checked in the least because an evil existing in our social system, and but- tressed by our laws, gives the benéfit of the inventions to the few and casts the many out to misery and penury. The condemnation of the millions of laborers, displaced by improved methods of production, to the horrors and privations of enforced idle- ness is not due to the inventlons which in- crease man’s productive power, but is due wholly to that evil element in our system of land tenure which encourages the monopoly of iand and gives to privaie speculators the unearned increment of value arising from the presence, industry, enterprise and virtues of the whole people, as & premium for holding the land out of use, while an ever-increasing percentage of the people are suffering because of their exclusion from the land. It is idle to assert that food and clothing and shelter are more difficult to obtain because the labor expended in producing them is dimin- ished by man’s control over natural forces. The difficulty must be wholly due to some other cause or causes. Air, water, sunlight and the land with all of its resources, were freely given by the Creator as the common heritage of all mankind for their subsistence and comfort, with no condition im d save that he who would apply his labor to in- crease the fruitfulness of the earth should have its fruits, and he who would not labor to that end should suffer privation of the things that he might so produce. . All that is needed that men and women lh&lld not suffer for lack of the things that labor will produce from the only source of wealth production is that they be’ restored to their natural right freely to apply their labor. to the land as the God who made them and’ Gontinued on Ninth Page,; July, 1894, awaiting trial for the murder of a son his wife had before her marriage. His arrest ac the railway station at Guetin as he was returning from a trip through Switzerland to his chateau at Perseles, in the commune of Cuffy, on the banks of the Loire, caused a tremendous sensation throughout the district. The Marquis was one of the leading personalities in the department, and was reputed tobe a man of great benevolence, although it was known that in his younger days he had sown more than a fair share of wild oats and dissipated a large patrimony before marrying the rich heiress whose illegiti- mate child he is charged with having murdered. He was born at Grenoble in 1849, and is now, therefore, in his forty- sixth year. Although at the time of his arrest it was not known exactly on what grounds the gendarmes. laid hands on him at Guetin, under warrant from the judicial authori- ties at 8t. Amand, the socialist faction cre- ated a hostile manifestation against the prisoner, and he was marched on foot to La Guerchie, whence a special train took him to St. Amand, where he was incar- cerated immediately. Very soon it became known that the Marquis was accused of having thrown his wife’s son into the Bay of Naples from the cliffs, along the Sorrento road, after having stunned him with a heavy instrument. It was also said that the youth had been stabbed before being thrown fron. the cliffs into the bay, but this version was after- ward denied. It transpired later that the denunciation which caused the Marquis’ arrest emanated from hisown wife. Friends of the Marquis alleged that the boy had not been mur- dered, but was of a despondent nature and had committed suicide by jumping from a cliff during the tour through Italy on which the Marquis had taken him in hope of dispelling his gloominess. The Mar- quis’ partisans further stated that his wife had concocted the murder story in =rder to rid herself of the Marquis so that she might marry a priest who had lived with the Nayves ever since their marriage and had been the boy’s tutor, if not his father. ‘I'he fact that Mme. de Nayve about this time instituted a suit for divorce against the prisoner lent some color to this theory, and in the absence of anything but hear- say evidence and Mme. de Nayve's denunciation it was thought at one time the prosecution would be aban- doned. The Procureur-General at Bourges, M. Bourgeois, was removed to Douai at this period of the case and it was rumored that his displacement was due to his un- willingness to shelve the case. Some weeks later, while the Marquis was still under arrest, it was announced that M. Albert Danet of Paris was retained as his counsel, and that the trial would take place in Jan- uary, 1895. ; " Commissions to examine witnesses in the meantime had been collecting evidence in Italy, at Paris, Orleans, Havre and in the department of the Cher. Voluminous, however, as this evidence was, it all proved to be circumstantial and inde- cisive, and before the January sessions opened, the authorities decided to post- pone the trial until April in order to col- lect other evidence. When the assizes commenced at Bourges on April 20 it was found that the De Nayve case was not on the cause list and the matter was post- poned u:itil to-day. SHOT BY A NEGRO. Bullets Flew Wide of Their Mark and Several Men Were Hit. 8T. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 13.—Just as the steamer City of. St. Louis reached the levee this morning, and while the pas- sengers were leaving the boat, a negrosud- denly appeared at the gangplank in the midst of the crowd. He whipped out a revolver and without warning began firing at Lows Davis, captain of the roustabouts on the boat. He fired five shots in quick succession, and then turning he dashed up the levee brandishing the revolver in his hand and threatening to shoot any one who was near him. The deed had been committed so quickly and unexpectedly that the crowd in which he stood hardly realized what had happened until the man was running up the levee. Then a few of the bolder ones started in pursuit, though the revolver that the man held in his hand kept them all at a considerable distance. After running for a short distance cp the levee the man turned into one of the smaller streets and succeeded in eluding the crowd. It was found that of the five shots fired four had taken effect in different men. None of the men were killed, though one or more may die. The shooting was the outcome of a fight between Louis Davis and the negro who did the shooting, which took place on Sunday when the boat was at Cairo. The men who were wounded were all members of the crew of the boat. None of the passengers were hurt. WHITECAPS BREAK DOWN. While on the Witness-Stand They Were Compelled to Confess. Three Citizens of Texas Who Ter- rorized Negroes Fled for Thelr Lives. PARIS, Texas, Aug. 13.—Finally the strong arm_ of the law has been invoked and is apparently proving as great a terror to the whitecappers of this county as they were to the negroes. Whitecapism in this county has been, itis thought, successfully nipped in the bud. The Cair correspondent has just re- turned from Glory, where Justice Yancey to-day held an inquest to defermine whether whitecaps burned the colored church at that place, as charged, last Thursday night. Theevidence was almost conclusively in the affirmative. It seems that one Hinson came into. the Glory neighborhood some two weeks ago from Delta County, where the whitecaps held full sway, and proceeded to organize in this county among the illiterate young farmhands. He was in a measure suc- cessful. The usual notices were posted and the exodus began among the negroes. Thursday night the. negro church was burned and this aroused the whites. Among the witnesses at the inquest to-day wasone Will Sheppard, who appeared quite nervous. He was asked to write one of the whitecap notices from dictation, and. his production wasalmost identical with those posted on the negroes’ door. His evidence was contradictory. He was placed under the rule and another witness called, when it was discovered that Sheppard had fled. At this stage of the proceedings George Kitchen, another one of the gang, broke completely down and made a complete con- fession. He said it was previously agreed between them to burn the church and that they and others had printed the notices in this county. He also said that Sheppard ‘was a memberof the gang of Delta County. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Hinson. Kitchen isin custody and officers are in pursuit of Sheppard. Indignation is running high among the whites and a lynching may follow. The jury at the inquest found that the Edora colored church had been burned by the three whitecaps named. The negroes are becoming quiet since the whites have taken such a decided stand looking to their protection. e “GENTLEMAN JIM” Corbett Made a Punching Bag Out of Ris Sparring Partner. BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 13.—Jim Cor- bett and McVey, bis sparring partner, created considerable excitement at the Lyceum Boxing Carnival to-night by giv- ing an exhibition that was not down on the programme. During the second round of their bout Corbett made a punching- bag outof McVey, and the latter in a spirit of resentment attempted to clinch and throw the champion, at the same time hurling vile epithets at him. Corbett pushed McVey to one side with the remark that if it was fight he was after he would be satisfied in the next round. When time was called Corbett, pale as a ghost, sprang to the center of the stage with the quick- ness of a cat and pounded McVey all over the stage. The round was cut short by the master of ceremonies, and the two pugilists retired to their respective dress- ing rooms. INDEED. e WILL FIGHT A BATTLE. The Two Armies in Ecuador Preparing for a Clash. NEW YORK, N, Y., Aug. 13.—A special cable to the Times from Panama says: Guayaquil, Ecuador, is feverishly ex- cited by the efforts of the city authorities to mobilize the reserve forces. The fire brigade will continue to be in charge of Guayquil with the Ninth Urban Guard. Latest reports of the battle at Chimbo, between the city of Guayaquil and that of Quito, make the loss on both sides about 400 men. General Vernaza in- tends to direct his operations against the Quito army to the north of Rio Bamba in accord with General Eloy Alfaros’ cpera- tions against the south of Rio Bamba. thus to surround, if possible, General Sarasti’s army. The result of the battle is expected to be a frightful death roll, as both armies are determined, obstinate, daring and well armed, TREATED VERY BADLY, Michael Dwyer Tells of His Experience in England. HAD NO CHANCE TO WIN, His Horses Overweighted by Handicappers and Then Bought Up. LOST NEARLY ALL OF HIS STRING In One Race Harry Reed Was Pur= posely Left at the Post. NEW YORK, N.Y., Aug. 13.—Michael Dwyer, the turfman, who has been in Eng- land with Richard Croker since last March engaged ‘in racing a string of horses in English events, returned to this country on the North German Lloyd steamer Fulda. Mr. Dwyer returned the owner of but one of the string of horses that he took, over—Harry Reed. “I cannot say I am pleased with the treatment accorded me in England,” said Mr. Dwyer. “In the first place, my horses were atmost invariably overweighted by the handicappers, so that it was any odds against my being able to win the races in which I had entries. “In the next place the Englishmen made it a business to claim any horse of mine entered in a selling race which was so un- fortunate as to run second. The only one I saved out of the string was Harry Reed. They might have got him away from me only that they were afraid I would win the race in which he was entered. “Up to that time the handicappers had always made Harry Reed carry 120 pounds, but in the race I speak of he was to carry but 108 pounds. Harry Reed had an ex- cellent chance to win the race, and they knew it. That would not have suited their purposes, however, so they left him stand- ing at the post. “I am firmly convirced from the way it was done that it was a deliberate action and a put-up job to leave him at the post. Then I quit in disgust and came back. “[ want to deny the story that there has been any trouble between Mr. Croker and myself. That is absolutely not true.” S T0 THE NEXT USTCE Speculation Regarding the Selection ' of Jackson’s Successor. Postmaster - General Wilson of Tariff Fame Is Non-Committal On the Subject. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 13.—Post- master-General Wilson was to-day pleas- antly asked by a friend whether he had made arrangemeuts to purchase the new silken robe which Justices wear. He smiled, but would only say: ‘I notice that Mr. Justice Field, from California, has been kind enough to mention my name as among four persons from whom the Presi- dent is likely to make the appointment of the next Associate Justice. Iam inclined to think that tne suggestions of Justice Field will not be very influential at the ‘White House.” The irony in this suggestion will be un« derstood by those who know how very strongly opposed to the Cleveland admin- istration Justice Field has been and with what tenacity he is holding to his seat in hopes that he may be able to make it im- possible for President Cleveland to appoint his successor. His statements about the succession of Justice Jackson are merely speculative. There is no probability that any one will know what the President’s choice will be until the President himself shall announceit. CINCINNATIL,On10, Aug. 13.—A Tribune special from Frankfort, Ky., says: Senator Lindsay will not accept the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench caused by the death of Justice Howell E. Jackson, if President Cleveland should tender it to him. This announcement isauthoritative, coming from an unquestionable source. The reason assigned for thisis that from a financial standpoint Senator Lindsay could not afford to accept a place where his expenses would be necessarily increased and his income diminished. The Senator has one of the most lucrative law practices in the State. g Killed by Lightning. RICHMOND, VaA., Aug. 13.—Four per- sons were killed in Prince Edward County, several miles from this citfi yesterday evening.
