LONDON, June 3.—The fickleness of popularity is beginning to demonstrate itself in the case of Tod Sloan; whose re- cent failures have wrecked many of his supporters. His big backers, like Riley Grannan and the Dwyers, have pocketed their losses like true sportsmen, and have returned to America. It is the small {ry who, while ‘Sloan succeeded, reaped a harvest and are now losing, who cannot find words to denounce him. One of these, on returaing from Epsom last night, filled the corridors of the Hotel Cecil with rantings against the honesty of Sloan’s Oaks failure, until the hotel officials had to remonstrate. Colonel Tom Ochiltree declares himself a heavy loser, and says Sloan is. a great jockey for five furlongs d backs him heavily, he is left at the and that in no other way in the could he have lost. the Oaks. spite of the clatter of disgruntled In | losers, Sloan maintains’ hope of ultimate success this season. Of 103 mounts he has won 37, while Madden heads the list of English jockeys with winnings out of 261 mounts, and_Loates has 43 wins out of 201 mounts. So Sloan has won 35 per cent of his races, and the best English jockey has won only 19 per cent. | SEACES N i A TERCOLLEGIATé GAMES. University of Ch;cngo Easily Gains the Victory. CHICAGO, June 3.—The annual field games of the Western Intercollegiate Association took place to-day. The University of Chicago team won a rather easy victory, a total of 46 points being placed to its credit. Notre Dame College was second with 33 points, chiefly through the efforts of its cap- tain, J. F. Powers, and Michigan was third with 27.

"Johann Strau the younger, the Austrian music composer, known as the “Waltz King,” was born in Vienna, October 25, 1825. Notwithstanding the opposition of his father he began his | musical studies early in life and in 1844 {made his debut as a conductor, and the | success of that occasion attended him | throughout his career. He combined | his own and his father's orchestras | after the latter's death and toured the continent of Europe. But it is on ac- count of his compositions that he was regarded as a master. He composed | his first waltz, “First Thought,” when he was but six years old. From that | time until 1870 he composed over four hundred waltzes. At that time he re- tired from public life and devoted him- self entirely to the composition of operettas. Of his waltzes perhaps the most popular is the “Beautiful Blue Danube.” Of his operettas the better known are “Indigo” (1871), “The Car- nival of Rome” (1873), “The Merry War” and “Jabuka” (1894).

I have personally inspected all the battlefields from Caloocan to Malolos. Once I was on the field before the wounded were removed and repeatedly 1 was there before the dead were bur- ied. I never saw a single woman or child wounded or dead. I have found, on the contrary, wounded rebels whose injuries had been dressed by the Amer- ican surgeons before the firing had ceased, and who had also been pro- vided with food and water. The insurgent wounded were brought to Manila and tended In our hospitals, | or even taken care of in private hospi- tals, the Government paying all expenses. ‘When cured the wounded can hardly be driven away. All the prisoners are well fed and well treated, and I may say they are glad to have had the ex- perience, and learned to know the Americans. Released prisoners and the recovered wounded are our best mis- sionaries, but many of them are unwill- ing to return to their own people. It is absolutely false that any order was ever fissued looking toward the killing of men who might be captured. The American soldiers have repeatediy taken prisoners under circumstane affording abundant excuse for killing. with a provocation very strong. T know positively the city guards have been ordered to fire on soldiers caught loot- ing if it was not practicable to make arrests. The natives themselves report that our troops have saved proverty and protected life during recent operations, the excellent. pose we are fighting the Filipinos as a whole. At least 80 per cent of the pop- ulation detests war, and the only se: ous trouble is in a few Tagallo prov- inces in Luzon. The - other provinces in this island are now compelled by the armed force of the insurgents to submit to the Ta- gallo rule. The people in them are praying for the coming of the Amer- icans. The present rulers are hated on account of their robbery and oppres- sion, and even among the Tagallos the common people want peace. Aguinaldo and his congress recently appointed a commission empowered to negotiate peace on the terms offer our proclamation. The m interfered, however, and dissol commission. The war is kept up by a few leaders, and only with the greatest difficulty. The heads of the natives are constantly filled with lies, and the wildest tales are circulated by the insurgent leaders. False and slanderous reports are man- ufactured in Hongkong and Singapore and scattered broadcast. Accounts of alleged atrocities printed in the American papers are copied by the insurgent press and cause in- calculable harm. They cost good American lives. Nevertheless the situation is stead- ily improving. The war is being most humanely conducted; the hungry are . the families of the insurgent lead- Tea granted protection in Manila, ers are and even allowed to enter through the lines. About 200 persons are coming daily into the city from the insurgent territory, and thousands are eager to e. OBvery one here is working in the in- terest of justice, order and lasting peace, and all are anxious for the best good of the country and people. To this end lawlessness must be put down with a firm hand and armed oppression must be made to cease. The Juniors. The State councilor has appointed new deputies for the various councils of the Junior Order of American Mechanics in the State, and the officers chosen are very satisfactory, to the membership. With these deputies, who are all live, energetic men, an_increase in membership and in the number of councils during the com- ing year is looked for. ’lshe committee on bay and river excur- sion to Stockton presented its first re- port to Abraham Lincoln Council last Thursday. The excursion is an’ assured fact, and, realizing the pleasure and ben- efits of such a trip, the members are all lending their assistance to make the af- fair one worthy of the order. -In view of the fact that the California boys will soon return from Manim, Lin- coln Council appointed a committee to act in the matter of taking part in the reception of the soldiers, and the surplus from the Washington birthday celebra- tion fund was voted to that end.
