6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 11, 1897 DOUTBY | THE FRIAR Rich Realization Stake Taken by the Morris Entry. WINS IN REMARKABLY FAST TIME. Mile and Five Furlongs Run by the Erratic Youngster in 2:48 2-5. STORM OF HISSES WHEN HIS JSCKLY DISMOUNTS. The Victory Unpopular Because of the In-and-Out Racord of the Colt. NEW YORK, N. Y, July 10.—The Realization stakes, the greatest of ail three-year-old prizes in America, was de- cided at Sheepshead Bay to-d in the presence of 12,000 persons. It was won | by A. H. and D. H. Morris’ chestnut col, | The Friar, with John E. McDonald's Rensselaer second and Robert C. Hale's third. The distance of the Real- | a mile ana five furlongs, and P L it in 3 2.5, by all odds | the fastest time ever scored for the race | and only two-filths of a second slower world's record made by the r-old Handcraft over the same ground with only ninety-five pounds in | the saddie. Renss n lapped on The | Friar's saddle at the wire. The stake was worth §18.475 to the winner, $316656 to | the second horse and $1583 34 to the third. | The Friar's performance was marvelous, but, sad to say, evoked more demonstra- | tions of ill will than approval, hisses sounding foud above the hand-clapping when Littletield rode back to dismount. | The Friar has performed meost inconsist- | ently this year; in fact, was none too con- sistent at times last year, and only a week ago his trainer, the veteran R. W Walden, issned a letter to the pubtic ex- | plaining that the colt was one cf the most | irritable and nervcus thoroughbreds he had ever trained. William Lakeland's pretty filly, Winged Foot, after a special preparation for the | prize, was found to be wanting and was withdrawn. There were seven starters. The talent concluded that the race lay between Scot- tish Chieftain, Rensselaer, The Friar and Buddba, the others ranging at odds of 30 to1to100to 1. As the six-inrlong pole | was passed Tne Friar was & length and a | half to the good. He made the seven fur- | longs in 1:294-5, the mile in 1:42 2. and the miie and a farlongin 1:5 1-5. There was no indication tha: he would | come beck to his field, and when the colts | swung tor the big bend for home all but | The Friar and Rensselaer were being rid- den hard. | Would Rensselaer get up to the light | chestnut, whose body was shooting through the air as though propelied by | some occult power? Littlefield had lost his cap and Lis light bair was streaming straight back from his forehead as he | rode. { Hewitt kept Rensselaer at his work and | When the colts stroizhtened outfor the run nome there still yawned that length and a balf between them. Hewitt, who is | only a lad and lacks the experience of a Taral or a Garrison, roused Kensselaer all | the way home in an endeavor to close the | gap. Hedid everything’ to the gallant co't but whip him, and there he showed excellent judgment, for no small boy can do justice with the whip in a fighting fin.sh. He had Littlefield uneasy at tie | furlong pole, which marked the end of | tue mil2 and a haif n 2:35. | Al through the tinal furiong Rensselaer gained, but only by inches. Rensselaer’s handsome head was at The Friar's girth as the wire was paszed. Buddha was a distant third and D eppard fourth. Pandemonium ned at the finish, and when Lituefield rode up to dismount he was greeted by a storm of his: mingled applanse and Good boy, | Fred.” It was a mixed demonstration, | such as, nappily, is not often seen on great metropolitan tracks, but it showed 1ibs temper of the people. | 1 2 Abuse 127, *Biar- 100, Sir Piay 121, Salabar 100, Beautort ve JU2.

Ambitious Schemes of One Princess Foiled by Another. | Plot of a Dssigning Woman Who Hoped to Become Queen | of Italy. | ——p ROME, Itavy, July 10.—The rivalry be- | tween the two veautiful Princesses Helene has reached a climax in the announce- ment that King Hombert will before very long become a grandiather. This will ef- fectually cut off Helene of Orleans, Duch- ess of Aosta, from any hopeof ever be- coming Queen of Italy. ‘When Helene of Orleans inarried the | Duke of Aosta, eldest nephew of King Humbert, the Prince of Naples, Humbert's | only child, was looked upon as a frail, un- popular young man, whose hold upon life | was not very strong and who might rea- | sonably be expected to die, leaving the | succession to the Duke of Aosta, his from ths inside, killiag Givens. Wright ired at Springer, but missed him. Wright had Springer arrested for the Killing of Guvens, bu: he was released a few days ago on bonds. At that time Wrizht de- ciared he wounld Kkill Springer the first time they shouid meet. Springer kept on boarding at Mrs. Wright's, Wright kept away from home. This evening he was passing the Casino saloon aud saw Springer playing domis noes with the proprietor. He stepped in- side and shot Springer in the back. killing him instantly. Wright was arrested. SN Siiatng, AUBURN LAWYERS DEFEATED. Succumb on the Biamond 1o an Azgre- gation of Sacramenrto Disciples of Blockstone. AUBURN, CaL, July 10.—There was & very interesting although not well played game of baseball on the Auburn diamond this afternoon. The contest was between the Sacramento lawyers and the Auburn lawyers—or, B8 the posters announced, “The Auburn Blackstones vs, the Sacra- mento Kents.”! The Auburn disciples had whipped the local county officials, and got it into their heads that they were slmost invincible. But their colors are trailing in the dust to-night for the Baeramento attorneys walloped them to the tune of 35 to 14. Notwithstanding the large score, there was & big crowd, lots of enthusiasm and a number of zoo& plays. *Jack’’ Powers, Sacramento’s eatcher, p.ayed iike a pro- fessional, while Hiram Jobnson pitched a good game and Ellwood Bruner beid down the first bag a la Anson of Chicago. Charles T. Hughes led in battiug for the visitors, As to the Auburns they batted well enough, but their fielding was weak. They were wolully handicapped in the picher’s box and on nearly every other position except that of catcher. Ed Sta- i pleton, av one time California’s champion - Crown Princess of Italy. PRINCESS HELENE OF ORLEANS, Duchess of Acsta, and Her More Successful Rival, HELENE OF MONTENEGRO, -wealthy and handsome cousin, elder bro- ther of Prince Luigi of Savoy. That was about two years ago, and the proud Helene of Orleans has shown very plainly since then that it was not love forthe Duke of Aosta that prompted her to ace cept his hand, but the hope of one day be- coming Queen of Italy. The Prince of Naples, however, has ex- hibited a stronger hold on life than was expected. His marriage to the beautiful Princess Helene of Montenegro was openly resented by bis cousirn-in-iaw, the Princess Helene, Duchess of Aosta, and when Helene, Princess of Naples, came to Italy and ner beauty and sweetness cap- tivated her subjects-elect, the Duchess took no pains to conceal her di:pieasure. Sbe openly neglected her husband, the Duke of Aosta, and avowed her intention of having nothing more to do with him, since he could not make her a Queen. Each step of Helene of Montenegro toward popularity has been bitterly op- posed by Helene of Orieans. As stated in THE CAvL at the time, Helene of Monte- negro, Crown Princess of Italy, was gen- erally pronounced to be the most beauti- ful royal personage at the Queen’s jubilee, and the. Italians, who are proud to have another beautful Qneen as the suceessor of the beaatifui Mar- guerite of Savoy, wife of Humbert, have shown more devotion to Helens of Mont- enegro than ever since her success at the jubilee. All this has been gall and worm- wood in the cup of Helene of Orlea d the announcement that Helene, Princess of Naples, is to become a mother be‘ore very long has added the last drop to Helene of Orleans’ mortification. It is expected that she will now seek a separation from her huaband, as she ha< declared that once cut off hopelessly from the succession she can no longer live with the man who has been such a disappoint- ment to her. Helene of Orleans expected a throne, and. to be relezated to the rank of simple Duchess of Aosta, witnout an: hope of reigning after Humbert’s death, is more than she will brook. SHOT RIS Wirk¥’s COMPANION, Death of a Commercial Trareler Wha Broke Up « Home, DALLAS, Tex., July 10.—J. A. Wright killed Charles H. Springer at 6:30 o'clock to-night in the Casino saloon. Wright1s a contractor and his victim was a com- mercial traveler. Wright's wife kept a private boarding-bouse and the commer- cial traveter lived there. Several months ago Wright became jealous of his wife and accused her and Springer of improper re- atiohs. The two menbogm quarrels, Springer reiused to quit raing &t the house and she refused to order him to leave. The result was a separation be- tween Mr. and Mrs. Wright about three months ago. About midnight of May 5 Wright took & man in his employ, namea Julins Giv- ens, to his house to see if he could catch Spring2r and Mrs. Wright together. Hs was armed with a shotgun. As Givens was trying to oven & window screen near Mrs. Wright's pedroom Springer fired first baseman, playing in tbe league with the Stockions, caught for Auburn. Sta- pleton made a home run, as did also At- torney Wallace and Lozano. William 8. Graham, who played first for the old Knickerbockers, umpired the game.

MATS OF INDIA MAY COIN SILVER Possible Concession to America’s Monetary Commission. Bimetallism May Be Restored in Englana’s Asiatic Empire. Sallsbury Hints That an Ianterna- tional Conference Wou'd Ba Barren of Results. LONDON, Exa., July 10.—~The Ameri- can Monetary Commissioners are all laboring earnestly to serure some tangi- ble concession from the British Govern- ment toward the enlarged use of si.ver. The Continental powers, except Germany, are willing to reopen ‘the guestion of metallirm on its merits in another ccn- ference. Germany will follow the lead of England. Lord Salisbury will consent to send delegates to such conference if the United States and other countries- persist in the request. The American emissaries, if they can get nothing else, will probabiy seize this empty concession and make the most of it. Such a conference, however, as the British Government plainiy intimates, would be a mere farce and even more bar- ren in results than the Brussels fiasco of four years ago. The British delegates would have the seme instructions and nothing would be accomplished. The preseni efforts of the American commissioners will be devoted to an en- deavor to gain the consent of Great Britain to reopen the Indian mints. Asa result of a conference on this subject a few days ago this concession wili, per- haps, be gained, but the matter is still unsettled and the issue doubtful. The silver advocates are confident that the re- opening of the India mints would advance the price of the metal fully 15 per cent, and thus give a boom to the si.ver agita- tion in the United States. London, of course, is the key to theé whole situation, and no efforts will be spared to bring in« fluence to bear on the Cavinet. LABOR WAR IN ENGLAND. The Engineering Trodes Open a Cosnfl ct That Will Probaby Put Al O:hers in the Shade. LONDON, Exc., July 10.—The troubles in the engineering trades, which have been pending for a long time, will probably be fought to the bitter end in what threatens to be the greatest of recent Engiish labor wars. It is taking the form of a lockout and strike, and is nominally a struggle for an eight-hour day. The men, who are members of the ten trades unions comprising the Amalga- mated Society of Engineers, made a de- mand in April, which was to be enforced by astrike in the London district. In an- ticipation of this London employers joined the already existing Employers’ Association, whioh replied by discharg- g 25 per cent of the workmen in the chief engineering centers in order to em- barrass the unions and put an intolerable strain upon their funds. The unions have replied by calling out the other 75 per cent of their men and is- suing sirivgent directions to their pickets to keep within the law. Both the strike and lockout is spreading througnout the country, and will probably become general. The eight-hour-day battle doesn’t mean what the average man thinks, The men do not assert the right to work eight hours a day only, or forty- eight honrs a week. What they claim is that all time over forty-eieht hours shall be paid at extra rates. The men havea strike fund of $1,500,000. The employers declare that they must win or surrender their business to foreign competition. The struggle is likely to be long and desperate, and as shipbuilding in ali ns branches will be completely aralyzed, American yards will probably ga among those to profit, i b o O STRONG PLEAS FOR PROTECTION. Owners of Pac.fic Coast.ng Steamers Want a Drawback on Coal They Use as Fuel. WASHINGTON, D. U., July 10.—The wires have been busy this week between ‘Washington and San Francisco on ac- count of the dissatisfaction of vessel-own- ers over the action of the Senate in ex- cluding coasting vessels from the benefit of a drawback on coal consumed as fuel for steaming purposes. Under instructions from the owners their representative here, J. F. Evans, to-day filed with the confer- ence committee, now in session, a vigor- ous protest against the exclusion of coast- ing vessels in the ocean trade, which use the same quality of coal as foreign ves- sels,. He points out that while domestic coal of the cheapest quality is $4 75 per ton, foreign coul 1s worth from $8 1o $13. In contrast to this domestic coal of a superior quality is sold on the Atlantic seaboard 4t from $§1 50 to $2 50 per ton. He contends that the price of domestic coal on the Preific Coast will not be affected by (he drawback, and conse- quently the mine-owners will not be in- ured. : The amendment as it now stands will benefit n few vessels in the foreign trade at 8an Franecisco, while the owners of over 20) coastwise vessels documented there (more than fifty of whicn are engaged in active ocean navigation) proiest against the discrimination. They cannot under- stand why their vessels are excluaed from this benelit when good sieawinz ¢ al 13 not produced in zny considersble quan- tity in the domestic mines located on that coast. Vessels going to sea in the coast- wise trade must, under any circumstances, burn imported coal. Both classes of vessels stand on an equality as to the cost of steaming coal. Both use foreign coal when they go to sea, heuce the reason for granting this conces- sl n to vessels in the foreign trade applies equally to seagoing vessels in the coast- wise trade, which do little more than earn running expenses. It is true that there is a theoretical ad- vantage to coasting vessels in the fact that foreign vessels cannot engage in the coast- wigse trade without the pavment of heavy tonnage duty, but foreign vessels do a large consting trade on the Pacific Coast in a practical sense by their custom o! go- ing from port to port to discharge their foreign cargoes and receive domestic oute ward cargoes. . Foreign tugs can engage in the coasting i tonnage duty. Under ington the trade on the t traffic with Canada, both foreign and coastwie. Within re- cent years much of the property in coast- wise vessels bas become ingorporated, the stock being held both at home and abroad. 1t is seen therefore that the coastwise trade on the Pacific Coastis not an abso- lutely protected industry. g Bomereille’s New Postmaster.
