Foger's Bay Colt, Archduke II, a Heavily Played Half-Brother of Clifford, Finishes Eighth. Speclal Dispatch to The Call FPSOM, England, May —The two hundred and eighteenth renewal of the Derby stakes (the classic Derby) of 6000 sovereigns was run at Epsom Downs to-day and was won by J. W. Larnach’s chestnut colt Jeddah, by Janissary, out of Pilgrimage. The race is for three-year-old colts, by sub- seription of fifty sovereigns each, half forfeit; the nominator of the win- ner to receive 500 sovereigns, the owner of the second horse to re- ceive 300 sovereigns and the owner of the third horse to receive 200 sov- ereigns of the stake. The course is about a mile and a half. Derby day opened fine and pleasantly cool. There were the usual scenes on the road and rail and immense crowds | The remark- | gathered on the Downs. able number of runners (eighteen), un- equaled in the last twenty-three years, coupled with the openness of the re- sult, added greatly to their interest in the event. The result in detail was as follow: J. W. Larnach’s ch. colt Jeddah, by Janissary, out of Pilgrimage, won; Duke of Westminster’s br. c. Batt, by Rheen, out of Vampire, second; Prince of Wales’ bay colt Dunloy out of Ayre- shire, out of Fortuna, third. Sir Tatton Sykes' bay colt Disraeli, the favorite, led until passing Sher- wood’s, when Elfin drew to the front | and led until descending the hill. Then Batt assumed the lead, but was joined | by the Duke of Fortland’s bay colt Wantage and Jeddah. a quarter of a mile from home, Jeddah ~winning by three-quarters of a length. A length and a half separated second and third horses. The Duke of Devonshire’s chestnut colt Diudonne was fourth. The time was 2 minutes 3 seconds. The betting previous to the start was 100 to 1 against Jeddah, 100 to 1 against Dun- lop and 10 to 1 against Batt. Previous to the race the chief inter- est appeared to center in J. W. Foger's American bay colt Archduke II, by Luke Blackburn, out of Duchess (by | Kingfisher), a half-brother of Clifford, a horse of which the public knew little except reports of trials Including a supposed _ phenomenal performance against History, the winner of the great Metropolitan stakes. The Amer- icans were said to be supporting Arch- duke II heavily, and it was recalled that it is just a century ago that Arch- duke I won the Derby. The other American horses were the Lorillard- Beresford stable’s entry Elfin, a bay colt, by Sensation, out of Equality, and August Belmont's chestnut colt Bride- groom II. Archduke II was eighth, Bridegroom 11 was eleventh and Elfin was fourteenth. The Caterham plate of 200 sovereigns was won by F. Bickley's chestnut filly Chloris UL This race is of 200 sover-) BERLIN. May —It has always been a matter of calculation what the majority of German newspapers would do for their foreign new without the Paris edition of the F ald, but no one would have prophesied that the Ger- | man press would be brought back into the right path of foreign politics by it. Yet this is what is being indirectly ac- complished, as any one who has noticed the more temperate and just tone of such important papers as the Cologne Gazette and noted the justice in them to the Herald may see for himself that where the excellent and progressive Frankfurter Zeitung and monarchial | Deutschewort were alone In their | championship of the American cause | two weeks ago now even the blindly | prejudiced Berlin Tageblatt is begin- ning to coo like a dove in comparison at least with its late outbursts. It is fortunate that most of the Ger- | man newspapers are strongly influ- enced in their opinions by such leading organs as the Cologne Gazette and Frankfurter Zeitung as opposite as these two are in party. The Cologne C »tte receives traight tips” from t Foreign Office, and is in a way| semi-official, so that its columns must | tudied with care and respect. The unjust Gazette hints that English tourists in Berlin are responsible for | the alleeed unjust German hostility to America and that nothing can be more | incorrect.

NEW YORK, May —The Herald’s | Washington correspondent telegraphs: Hawali has actually assumed the atti- tude of an open ally of the United States In the war with Spain. Not only are the islands being used as a coaling | base and a base of supplies for military and naval expeditions to the Philip- | o I i f pines, but they will probably be made ! a depot for troops. Owing to the diffi- | culty of obtaining a sufficient number | of troop ships on the Pacific Coast it will probably be necessary for the Peking and the Sydney and Australia | after landing the first installment of | troops at Manila, to return for a c- | | cnd load. There are a large number of | | coastwise steamers on the Pacific Coast | which would not be capable of making | the run from San Francisco to Manila, but which could easily be used for car- rying troops to the islands. A plan is now under consideration to take thes troops to Honolulu by these steamers | |and land them there to await the re- turn of the three vessels carrying the first detachment to Manila. This plan | Office and robbed the safe of $8000 in could only be carried out with the con- sent of the Hawaiian Government, but | telegrams sent by Westfall and was as the administration has assurances of | follows: this consent.

WASHINGTON, 'May 25.—Senator Perkins called to-day on the quarter- master general and presented the pro- tests of the Board of Trade and Prod- uce Exchange of San Francisco declar- ing that the War Department has not been purchasing the greater part of its supplies in San Francisco. The quar- termaster general denied this and said | the only articles not purchased there | were shoes, and that the only shoe fit for army purposes to be had in Califor- nia had a screw heel, and the depart- ment rejected it.

The Senators | wereappealed to toexpedite the consider- ation of the revenue measure, and as a counter-proposition asked that Ha- wallan annexation be dropped.

These %2 -/M“a ‘- assurances, the Senators hostile to an- 7 | | nexation say, are sufficiently numerous | to warrant them In believing an ad- | journment of Congress will be taken without action. The advocates of Hawailan annexa- tion say a Republican caucus of the House on that issue will be held im- mediately after the adjournment to- morrow. They were active to-day, and a sufficlent number of members for a calling of a caucus have subscribed to a paper now in the hands of Repre- sentative Grosvenor of Ohio, chairman of the caucus committee, but the call has not yet been issued. | _BOSTON, May 25.—The Transcript's | Washington special says: Intense in- | waiian annexation question.

The House is undoubtedly favorable to a considerable majori but it is the in- fatuation of madness, not the calm re- sult of reasoning. The Speaker has stood out single handed so often against this class of jobs that he will probably try to do it again if there is the faintest hope of success. At any rate his party will not get past him with its annexa- tion nonsense, and he has read it a lesson and, a prophecy. The annexation bill means a long session, and a long session is the worst menace which now confronts the Republican party on the way to the polls. The idea that a long session is inevitable if the Hawaiian scheme gets well under way is gradu- ally working itself into a good many minds disposed to reject it a while ago. Whatever the House may do, the pre- paration in the Senate for a game of -out is unmistakable. It is as true a historical fact that the plan upon which a majority of the Senators agree always carries, regardless of the Senate rules or lack of them. But the mistake is made in many quarters in supposing that because under ordinary conditions a majority of the Sendte favor annexa- tion, therefore the same majority would favor a resort to ‘‘jumping through” the annexation bill as a war measure. The weakness of an appar- ent majority in Congress always rests in the element which, though unwilling to be counted flatly against a party measure, recognizes the inexpediency of time or manner o me other condition of its introduction d play a lukewarm policy. Not a fe epublicans in the Senate are believed to and on pre- cisely that attitude to the Ha- waliian bill, and their tacit disapproval will be one of the adverse influences against which the friends of the bill must be prepared to struggle—an Iin- fluence as serious in effect and vastly more subtle than outright opposition. There is no telling when the session will end if the House passes the Ha- waiian bill and sends it to the Senate.

Found finger mark third step of baggage car; somewhat blurred, but looks like blood. JOHN BURR, Sheriff. This would support the theory of some of the officers that the men, after committing the robbery, rode away on the blind baggage of the passenger train which reached here at about 12 o'clock last night. It is known at least | one of the men was wounded in the en- counter, for on one of the posts sup- porting the porch at the rear of Krohn's office, where the men emerged from the building, & bloody hand print is discernible. Krohn first regained consclousness at about 10 o’clock this morning, and his physicians now believe he will re- cover from the terrible beating he re- ceived at the hands of the two men who looted his office. An examination of his wounds makes it apparent that he must have been beaten over the head with some blunt instrument, per- haps a sandbag or slungshot. It was these blows that rendered the Tax Col- lector unconscious. ‘When he came out of his stupor he threw some light on the manner in which the robbery was perpetrated, but was unable to give the officers a definite description of his assailants, as they had taken the precaution to cover their faces with masks. He described the men as being large and of powerful Krohn said he had been engaged for several days past in preparing the de- linquent tax list of the county, and this work compelled him to remain un- til a late hour in his office last night. Quite a considerable sum of money wasg in the vault, as Krohn was awaiting the return of the Audttor from San Francisco to audit his accounts, it be- ing his purpose to deposit the funds in the Commercial Bank. Krohn had oc- casion to go onto the back porch ad- joining his office at about 11 o’clock, and it must have been when he returned to his writing at the table that the men effected an entrance. He had scarcely sat down at his desk when he felt the muzzle of a pis- tol against his temple, and an accom- panying request, “‘Get that sack.” Both robbers had thelr revolvers leveled at him. Krohn was unarmed and could not reach anything to defend himself with, so he tried a strategic move with his desperate visitor, and offered them a tray containing $400 or $500 in silver, with a small amount of gold. ‘This the robbers accepted, but at the open it before the time the clock was | set for. This did not satisfy the men. They told him if he did not open the safe immediately they would kill him. Then Krohn, with the muzzles of their revolvers pressing against his head, | Proceeded to open the safe, and handed them the main coin bag. Having ob- talned this they commanded him to go to the front door and lock it. They seemed to reconsider this request al- most as soon as it was made, for fear, | it is presumed, that if he got near the door he would rush outside and give the alarm. They called him back and then tried to put him in the vault. Then ensued the battle betwe brave Tax Collector and his a: that nearly resulted in the former’'s death. In the melee Krc.n seized a miners’ drill that lay in the office and threw it in the direction of one of the men. It went crashing through one of the glass partitions. One of the men tried to stab him, but fortunately the knife inflicted only a slight flesh wound about two or three inches long in the right breast. Krohn seized the blade of the knife with his left hand and that| member was badly gashed. One of the | men struck him . er the head with a | revolver, and immediately the other | robber felled him with a stunning blow on the head with a sand bag or slung shot. This blow rendered Krohn un- consclous. It is supposed the robbers believed him dead when they left. Night Watchman Tooker heard the | crashing glass whei .rohn threw the drill through the partition. but he was some distance away and could not lo- cate the sound. Later, In compaidy with the Collector’s wife, the night| watchman found Krohn lying in his | blood on the floor near the front door, | whither he had crawled after the rob- | bers left. The floor showed plainly | where Krohn had crawled, the track | being marked by bloody hand prints for a space of about fifteen feet. CONFIRMED BY THE SENATE.
