THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1895. STATE. FAIR - RACES Thousands Witnessed the Events of the Last Day. FAVORITES IN FRONT. Bookmakers Lost to the Talent in a Majority of the Contests. KINGS OF THE TURF PARADE. Crowds Cheered the Old-Time Conqueror, Salvator—Winners of the Day. SACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 14.—This was the closing day of the State Fair, and the rich programme of trotting, pacing and running evenas drew out a vast con- course of people. The day was perfect for racing purposes, and the turnstiles were kept clicking from the time the gates were thrown open in the morning. The trotters and pacers held possession of the track in the forenoon, the course being given up to the gallopers after the noon hour. Asan intgoduction to the running, pro- gramme five of the grand stallions of J. B. Haggin’s Rancho del Paso were exhibited before the admiring throngin the grand stand. At the head of them came the proud Salvator, ex-king of the American running turf, followed by bis old rival, the “nooded demon,” swayback Tenny. Both were londly cheered. Thencame the English stallions, imp. Midlothian, Water- eress and Goldfinch, noble-looking speci- mens of the equine race. The racing was above the average. The first and second choices fared well through- out and the talentall had money at the close of the day. The special attraction was the Autumn handicap, worth $720, at a mile, for two-year-olds. None of the eight youngsters had ever traveled the dis- tance, and there was some lively speculat- ing as to the probable result. At post time Bloomsbury, carrying top weight, 120 pounds, had first call in the betting at 6 to 5, and the Elmwood entries, Lucretia Borgia and Instigator, were strong second choices at 8 to 5, backed from threes. The Mercedes filly; the Burns & Waterhouse pair, Elsie and Sam Leake, and Hearts- ease were fancied in the order named. After considerable prancing and fussing about at the vost they were sent away in good order, Sam Leake the first to show 1 front. The son of Darebin led until near- ing the turn for the wire, where the favorite had his head in front. It looked as though there was going to be a hard tussle to the wire, until Hinrichs gave Lucretia Borgia her head, and then the chestnut filly was seen to be eating the field up. She won in the commonest kind of a canter in 1:44. The two stable com- panions, Elsie and Sam Leake, fought it out for the place two lengths away, the latter eetting the decision by a head. The winner was slightly cut down in the nigh hind leg. Wednesday’s postponed 2:20 trot and 2:19 pace were called at 11 o’clock in the forenoon. Native State, Columbus S, and Irene Crocker had each placed a heat to their credit, but Chico_still held sway in the auction betting., He, however, failed to get near the money in the fourth heat, taken by Prince Ira, and went to the stable. Irene Crocker took the fifth heat, with Native State a good second in 2:20. The gray mare also took the sixth heat, but was set back and the heat given to Native Btate, which placed two to the credit of each. Irene was the steadier in the seventh and i winning easily in 2:22 and tal se. In the pace, Birdroe was in fine fettleand won in straight heats in 2:1337, 2:16 and 2:19. Lonpe took second money and Ruby M third. Four maiden two-year-olds faced the starter in the opening race of the bang- tails. Long Lady and Treachery went to the post even money and take your pick, more lengthy prices being laid against Carnation and Pansy. Carnation headed the field into the stretch, where she tired, and was passed by Long Lady and Treachery, the former winning in & hard drive by balf a lengthin 1:02}4. The free handicap, one mile, brought out a field of six starters. McLight opened a 2 to 1 choice, and the coin went in on him in big chunks, sending him to the post at 7 to 10. The Boots pair, Peter the Second and Claudius, had second call in the ring, with imp. Candid a strong third choice. Ike L and Duchess of Towers were the other starters. The Duchess of Towers went to the front when the flag fell, and showed tothe way to the bend for home, when the green colors of Mec- Light headed the van, with the Duchess and Ike L close up. Piggott then made his run on Candid, and the black mareand the favorite indulged in an exciting drive to the wire, Mackliy landing the first choice winner by a scant length in 1:42, with Tke L a good third. The next race was a mile, with selling conditions, With but five starters little Nebuchadnezzar with 89 pounds up was a decidedly strong choice, going to the post 7 t0 10. Rear Guard was in big demand at twos, with Captain Skedance the next fancied at three and a half. There was but slight delay at the post, Havey sending them away on even terms. Jones squeezed through and took the lead, with Nebu- chadnezzar at the second turn, and led the field to the stretch for the wire, where Captain Bkedance passed him, and stalling off Rear Guard’s challenge, won rather handily by three lengths in exactly the same time as the race preceding—1:42. The favorite was a fair third. The last race of the day, a six-furlon selling dash, proved a cake-walk for ol Tim Marphy, who opened in the betting at 6 to 5 and receded to 214 to 1. He led all the way and won easily by three lengths in1:14)4. In a desperate drive Macklin on Roadrunner got his horse home second. a nose before Gallant.

INVICTORIA'S REALM, Are Britons Angered by the Yacht-Racing Fiasco? SNARL AT AMERICANS. But Then There Is No Sym- pathy for the Toplofty Lord Dunraven. WAR CLOUDS OVER THE WORLD. Harold Frederic Sees Signs of Brewing Trouble In Many Quar- ters of the Globe. [Copyright, 1895, by the New York Times.] LONDON, E~craxp, BSept. 14. — The English people had been prepared, par- ticularly after the resultof the first race, to take very moderate interest indeed in the international yacht race. As was said last week there was no preliminary ex- citement here whatever, and the apparent demonstration at the start that the Val- kyrie was outmatched did not serve to fan the smoldering ashes into a flame, but the breaking up of the contest in a snarl has put an entirely different face on the mat- ter, and everybody suddenly has developed an extreme concern in the whole affair. So far as press comment goes, the Times has been notably courteous and fair-minded in the discussion of the entire matter, and other papers have been less so in varying degrees down to the Daily Chronicle, which habitually reviles every- thing American with the temper and in- telligence of a small Parisian paper yap- ving at *‘Perfide Albion.” The Daily Chronicle is so excellent a journal in most other respects that this chronic abérration may be regarded as a harmless eccen- tricity. It is fair to guess ;that the Times' con- siderate attitude toward the Americans’ position is due to the fact that it knows Lord Dunraven much better than other papers do. With all his sportsmanlike qualities he is a toplofty person, whose career by land and sea has been filled with misunderstandings, . disagreements and contentions without end. Those who have been most closely in contact with him, either in politics or 1n sport, display a sur- prisingly unanimous disposition in pri- vate talk to believe that the American case must be even stronger than the cable dis- patches make it, but to the general press and public he is merely a name, and they espouse his side none the less vehemently for not quite understanding what it is. They are especially eloquent about the bad manners of the excursion fleets, which, they properly say, have never been rive aled over here, but this is only because the idea of spending money to get on a steamer to watch a yacht race has never com- mended itself to the British mind. Within his limits the Briton can be as evil-man- nered as any living being. His royal family cannot visit any English watering- place or seaside resort, simply because its ladies are followed about and almost walked over by eager throngs of snobs whenever they put their noses outside the doors of their Jodging places. Perhaps there is a certain consciousness of this national defect mixed up in the unction with which Englishmen are de- claiming just now about Yankee rudeness. There is this much of truth, however, in what they say: British crowds would obey a policeman just as meekly thirty miles from shore as they do on land, It would never occur to them till some weeks after- ward, if even then, that his jurisdiction over the high seas was faulty. Vienna has it that Russia and France have definitely separated themselves from England in the present phase of the Ar- menian business and that Lord Salisbury is now alone in his posture of coercion toward the Sultan. Vienna gets so many things wrong that there is no assurance that this is right, but all the same itac- cords with what has been expected from the start. If the separation is not an accomplished fact it will none the less come. Lord Salis- bury is in the seclusion of his Normandy home, and though, of course, he is in touch with the wires, it is taken for granted that he will come home in case matters take a serious turn. Simultaneously have come disquieting rumors about a breakdown of the negotia- tions with Russia about the Pamir fron- tier. Official reassurances are published to-day, the kerne | of which is the state- ment that the principle of the frontier it- self was accepted by both governments last March, ana henge cannot now be in dispute, but there is such an inborn dis- trust here of Russian diplomacy that the mere existence of a treaty more or less convinces nobody. The transfer of Sir F. C. Lascelles to the British embassy at Berlin and the moving of N. R. O’Connor from Peking to take his place in St. Petersburg are also popularly read as storm signals, O'Connor holds no such rank in the regular diplomatic corps as would naturally entitle him to this great post, and it is guessed therefore that he is promoted because of his intimate knowledge of the Turkish and Chinese problems, which is of pressing importance just now in a British representative at the Russian court, and it is felt that these problems must be urgent indeed to out- weigh all the party and class claims with which Lord Salisbury is beset at home. These little premonitory tremblings in the balance of the European concert are enough to invest the parting utterances of the German and Austrian Emperors, when the latter quitted Stettin at the close of the German maneuvers for Vienna, with ex- ceptional importance. In the public eye they seemed indeed to parade their sworn alliance to death with more fervor than ever before, and the Berlin official papers are not slow to draw attention to the fact that Emperor William’s nomination of Count von Waldersee as field marshal, coming at such a moment, also arrests at- tention. With the exception of three or four Kings and Princes he is the only man in active service holding this rank, and the assumption is that it is meant to desig- nate him for the chief military role in the next war, Somehow the mere act of selec- tion of an actor for the part seems to bring that war nearer than it was. Bix editors of Social-Democratic papers have been arrested in different parts of Germany during the week, and two others have fled from the country, German poli- ticians are discussing at great length the probability of the Reichstag being more willing to pass fresh repressive measures next winter than it was last, when it re. fused point blank, but the guestion seems t0 be an abstract one. The executive ap- pears to be showing that the premti 11*:: are quite comprehensive enough, an it perience has demonstrated that ways exi in Prussia for securing reliable juries a8 well as elsewnere. FEEI Despite o rather unfortunate beginning in Paris, the Lord Mayor's visit to the Bordeaux country has turned out to bebla most extrayagant snccess. Those al : Girondin vintners and merchants kno well on which side their bread is buttered, and they haye given to the representm_iva of claret-drinking London such a reception as scarcely a visiting Czar could have ex- pected. The reflection of their tremendous en- thusiasm has recoiled upon ¥aris, and the Municipal Council there is to give to him, on afterthought, a triumphal state ban- quet to-morrow evening. All this is very nauseous to the Anglophobe journalists of Paris, and they have started up a neutral- izing clamor about the British seizure of the Minquiers. Islands, an isolated group of rocks in the channel, lying six miles | nearer to Jersey than to the French coast. The rumor that the British flag was hoisted there, printed in Paris ten days ago, has been contradicted, affirmed and debated continuously ever since, but it has not yet occurred to any Frenchman to go ayd see whether itis true ornot. Itis said that the Minquiers always belonged to Jersey and the only inhabitants are a few Jersey fishermen in the season, for whom Jersey officials built a shipway years ago. Arthur Balfour has made an extremely feeble impression upon the new m:mb_erp of his own party at the recent brief session of Parliament. His manner was so hesi- tating, his voice at times Was so nearly inaudible, that wondering observers were led to the belief first that he wasill, and later that he had been cowed by Chamber- lain’s show of superior vitality and energy. ‘Whatever the cause may be, he is obviously under a cloud. His bad luck pursues him into the recess. As if his bimetallic vaga- ries had not brought to him humiliation enough, fresh abasement has been forced on him this week in the form of a pub- lished letter, in which he reiterates in de- tail his recent confession that the Cabinet of which he is one of the principal mem- bers will have nothing to do with silver. Iam informed that he was very reluctant to write this letter, but it was insisted on by the other Ministers, who convinced Lord Salisbury that it was necessary in order to forestall impending demonstra- tions of the monometallist strength 1n the city of London. The first of these 1s Gladstone’s letter to young George Peel, contemptuously de- scribing bimetallism as a passing humor of the hour, inevitably doomed to nullity and disappointment. Other pronouncements of the same sort are tofollow in consequence of & resolution of the single-standard men to make a thorough fight this time and drive the enemy completely off the field. Even at this early stage of the campaign the cause of bimetallism is visibly withering. Its champions are getting under shelter and by winter it promises to be effectually stamped out of British politics. In all this there is a wheel within a wheel. George Peel was Chamberlain’s candidate for the Warwick vacancy last spring and resigned his berth in the civil service in order to accept the Liberal Unionist nomi- nation. The revolt of the local Tories forced him to withdraw from the canvass and he found himself out of work as well. 1t is not by accident that he came to Lon- don, became secretary and real organizer of the Monometallist Associationand initi- ated an active and powerful propaganda against the silver heresy. He is still Chamberlain’s young man, and the fact that Balfour must necessarily be the chief, victim of his successful crusade could not have been overlooked between them. By his evil fate Balfour was prompted to seize this precise time, when he is being most sharply hunted by his enemies, to do gratuitcusly a foolish thing on his own ac- count. As First Lord of the Treasury he has at his disposal the royal bounty fund, from which grants an¢ small annuities are given to needy deserving literary persons or their destitute widows and orphans. Balfour’s first use of this patronage has been to bestow a gift of $1000 on a certain George Brooks, who was a violent Tory pamphleter in the recent elections. It was immediately discovered that this Brooks, who was at one time a dissenting preacher, was till recently a vehement Radical hack-writer. Labouchere recog- nized him as an old member of the staff of Truth, and cynically reprinted some of his bitterest vituperations of the Established church and the Tory party in the days when he worked for a living. Since then he seems to have subsisted chiefly by means of begging letters, and altogether his inclusion in the royal »Bonnty list is agreed to be an affront to all the others on it. It probably will do Balfour’s prestige more lasting harm than even his currency utterances. Although the retiring Embassador at Berlin, Sir Edward Malet, has recently earned a peerage, as such things go, he has to pay the penalty of a rich marriage by declining. So long as he remains a Com- moner his wife, who is the daughter of the Duke of Bedford, who killed himself, takes precedence of all Countesses in that capacity. If her husband took a peerage, however, she would shrink at once to the level of his new dignity, and this is not to be thought of. 8o to theend of her days she will continue to be Lady Ermintrude Malet, and walk in processions some rods ahead of her husband. If that represents happiness to them I suppose it is ndbody else’s business. It was predicted by a military friend of mine that the first thing Wolseley would do when he became commander-in-chief would be to reorganize entirely the system by which the infantry soldiers are now shod. He adds that it would be a most important reform, and this is easy to imagine. The recent maneuyers in Ire- land and the south of England have shown afresh that the British soldiers are cruelly handicapped in marching by boots. The percentage of the disabled in every march by this alone was ridiculously in excess of the Continental losses from all causes to- gether. The Glermans have long ago de- cided this most vital of all questions and take such elaborate pains at the outset to fit each recruit that it becomes possible thereafter to treat sore feet as a punishable misdemeanor, and indeed it is now prac- tically unknown iu the German army. The adoption of the same system has often been urged here, but the old Duke of Cam- bridge always treated such suggestions as a personal insult. Now, happily, there is to be a new order of things and galled heels will no longer be a necessary portion of Tommy Atkins. To-morrow the French Federal or cen- tral authonty is to try serious conclusions with the municipal officials in a lot of southern towns where the liking for bull fights has swollen of late into an epidemic mania. Nimes and Bayonne are the principal center of this new popular craze, and mobs of the worst social elements have so terrified Mayors, councilors and juries that they counive at open violations of the law. These crowds have now reached a point of savagery where they .demand that the arena be drenched with blood. Hazowp FREDERIC, ARREST. OF EDITORS, Beginning of Repressive Action Against the Socialists. ADVISED BY WILLIAM. Herr Von Koeller Denles That, the Work Was Ordered by the Emperor. MANY PAPERS CONFISCATED. Progress Belng Made on the Bulld- ings for the Great Berlin Exposition. BERLIN, GErMANY, Sept, 14.—Herr von Koeller, Prussian Ministerof the Interior, returnel to Berlin on Thursday from Stet- tin, where he spent some time in consulting the Kailer in regard to the formulation of anti-sociplist measures for presentation to the Reichstag at its next session. This in- formatioa is not derived from Herr von Koeller, however, for he denies that he had receirad any instruction from the Em- peror to pegin repressive action against socialists,and has declared to interview- ers that h® audience with the Kaiser was wholly coufined to the discussion of plans for the erettion of a new building in Berlin to be occujied by the Ministry of Justice. It is significant, however, that Herr von Koeller’s itterview with the Emperor was coincident vith the issuance of notices of a number of§ro$cmionu directed against newspapers in various parts of the empire. Editor Strobel ol the Schleswig-Holstein Volks Zeitung was arrested last Thursday, the day on which Minister von Koeller re- turned from Stettin, for publishing a so- cialistic article under the caption of “With- out a Fatherland,” and Richard Illge, edi- tor of the Leipsic Volks Zeitung, was also arrested for quoting from the Sedan day articles of the Vorwaerts, for publishing which Herr Pfund, the editor of that jour- nal, is now undejgoisg prosecution. The charges againit the editors is that of les majeste. In addition to making those arrests, thd authorities have seized the People’s Sentinel; published in Bres- lau, and a2 number bf other papers of minor importance thrqughout Prussia and Baxony are also reparted to have been confiscated. The Schleswig-Holstein, Leip- sic and Breslau papers mentioned are well known throughont the empire. Upon the result of these prosecutions the action of the Government wholly depends as to whether they 1ntroduce a bill in the Reich- stag demanding &n exceptional law against the socialists. The Freisinnige Zeitung and the National Zeitung, both influential papers of moderate views, and the Freis- sinnjge gnd national press generally, are decidedly opposed to the action taken by the police in regard to the arrest of the editors mentioned and the seizure of their papers. A leading Catholic journal—the Cologne Volks Zeitung—declares that the Centrists will oppose any exceptional legislation or any systematic plan of prosecution against thq socialists as entirely useless. The Catholics, the paper adds, will rely upon wise social reforms as the best and indeed e only remedy for the existing situation. ’en the Hamburger Nachrichten, which ijgenerally willing to support repressive paures, advises the Bundesrath to refrain f; i m introducing anothber anti-revolution until the existing law has proved fu- tik. The North German Gazette, which lately been losing its reputation as a sebi-official organ because of the random chgracter of its remarks, says the greater pahof the struggle must be left to the Prince von Hohenlohe will return e chancellery to-morrow and all of the terial leaves of absence will expire on great Berlin exposition of next year, ich practically all the articles to be pine panorama building is nearly Numerous restaurants and beer guests has been commenced in The city of Berlin is building a and along the water front of the e a building for 7, photography and scientific in- +Old Berlin” promises to be one of the most popular features of the itio}, representing as it will a por- tion of Betlin at the time of the great Mar- grave, intluding Spandauer Thor and Georgen Thor and the Koenigs, Juden and Spandauer strasse, where the old town hall will be represented.

This, though it is only history, has a present ap- plication. Stoecker is denounced as & sort of Cataline conspirator, who must, says the Cologne Gazette, be expelled from the ranks of the Conservative party. To this deposition the Freissinnige Press retorts that if they attempted to purify the Con- servalive party by the expulsion of its | Catalines there would be nothing left of it. Dr. Stoecker will soon return to Ber- lin, when he will be expected to explain these letters, and will also be asked to fur- nish accounts for a fund of 13,000 marks, which it was supposed was embezzled by an employe of the Kreuz Zeitung, but which, it has since been discovered, Dr. Stoecker had given a written acknowledg- ment for. There is a good deal of political mud being thrown about, but nobody doubts Stoecker’s uprightness. The Emperor arrived at Dantzic yester- day, and to-day inspected the work of building the new docks at that place and also watched the evolutions of the Fifteenth squadron from the Hohenzollern. Prince Lobanoff-Rostovsky, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, before starting for Contrez Eville, ¥rance, to spend his vaca- tion, had a long interview with Chancellor Von Hohenlohe. ¢ Semi-official news received from St. Petersburg states that the Czar insists upon observing an unusual measure of seclusion. It is said tnat he evades his own Ministers and foreign embassadors and leaves the state business to be managed by his mother at Peterhoff. - Court opinion attributes the Czar’s retirement largely to the fact that he is greatly concerned about the Czarina, whose accouchement is very near at hand, and who is afflicted with nervous attacks, which' are partly due to ber peculiar state and partly to the pre- vailing Nihilist scare. The fact that the affairs of state are being guided by the Dowager Empress is held to account for the continuance of Russia’s pro-French policy. The ex-Empress Frederick, who is now at Kronberg, will start for England at the end of the month to visit the Queen, her mother, and will return direct to Berlin in October. In December the ex-Empress will pay a visit to Rome. The Hamburg and Bremen trans- Atlantic lines are having a great boom in passenger and freight business, and the shares of both companies are rising. AMATEUR TRACK EVENTS. Great Sport at the Annual Athletic Union Meeting. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 14.—The eighth annual track field championships of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States were held to-day on Man- hattan Field. Favored with charming weather from a spectatorial point of view, albeit the wind was strong and though in favor of the athletes robbed the perform- ances of a good deal of the value, and with large and high-class entries, good sport and close finishes, the championship meet- ing of 1895 compares more than favorably with its predecessors. The most sensational development of the day was the defeat of the hitherto invin- cible John Crum of the Chicago A. A., who since his debut here last May in the inter- collegiate games, has been looked upon as invincible both in the East and West. For some days past Crum has had trouble with his sprained knee, but to-day he stated that the leg felt quite well and did not bother him a bit. Unless he recovers b next Saturday, the New York A.
