Crowds Turn Out and Make Success of | OODLAND, Aug. 27.—Farm- ers and fruit growers taking an interest in the district fair have made an assured success of it. The stock pa- rade this morning was a surprige and rev- elation. Nothing like it has ever before been seen in this county and will not be equaled in this State this year, except at the State fair. The parade was more thar a mile long. Competent judges say the stock exhibit is exceptionally fine. The pavilion display was increased, espe- cially in the agricultural department, and great interest was manifested in the ex- hibit, which will be at its best on Wed- nesday. The racing card is a good orie and the attendance larger than the corre- sponding day "of last year. President Stevens and Directors Spaulding and Hop- pin officiated as judges. Ho Yow’s mare Solo won in straight heats and was not covered. She sold in field at $2, Ouiboul at $5 and Porto Rico at $3. Great interest centered in the match race for Davisville horses, but aft- er the first heat the result was never in doubt. It was easy money for the win- ner. Both running races furnished in- teresting contests. In the first there was finish between the leaders. LOSE THE LAND THEY CLAMED Persons Who Sued the Government Fail in the Court. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—Judge Barn- ard of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to-day decided the case of Willis West vs. the Secretary of the In- terior in favor of the Government: This is one of eleven cases recently brought by persons claiming right to al- lotments in the lands in Okiahoma Terri- tory recently decreed by the Kiowa and | other Indian tribes, the claimants being for the most part white men and women who have married Indians. They sought to secure writs of mandamus compelling the Secretary to recognize them. - Judge Barnard sustained the demurrer of the Secretary and ordere. the dismissal of the petition. He said in effect that in such a proceeding as that involving the opening and allotment of Indian reserva- tions the law required the exercise of ju- dicial discretion on the part of the Secre- tary and that the court would not inter- fere with the exercjse of such a privilege by an executive oflicer, The court volun- tarily remarked that if he had been in the Secretary’s positibn he would have pur- sued the same course that the Secretary had pursued in refusing recognition to these claimants.

Running Races Fur- nish Interesting Contests. MILLONS ON THE CHECK Schwab Obtains Control of Bethlehem Com- _pany. i PHILADELPHIA, Auvg. 27.—The Beth- lehem Steel Company, which also includes the Bethlehem Iron Company, to-day passed into the hands of Charles M. Schwab. A ciheck for $4,032,000 was de- posited with the Girard Trust Company by Drexel & Co., in payment for 168,000 shares of Bethlehem Steel stock. The total number of shares in the company is 300,000. Immediately after the recelpt of the check a new board of directors and officers were elected. The regular monthly meeting of the directors of the company was set for 11 o'clock this ‘morning. At that hour a quorum of the board was present, but no word had been received from Mr. Schwab. The meeting was adjourned until 12:30 o'clock, and, as Mr. Schwab's representa- tive had not yet appeared, a further ad- journment was taken until 2 o'clock. When the directors met finally Max Pam of New York was present representing Mr. Schwab, and the stock and money were speedily transferred. Mr. Pam had arranged with Drexel & Co. to pay the required amount to the Girard Trust Com- pany, and when word was received that the stock on -eposit had been delivered the new directors were elected. The new board is as follows: R. -P. Linderman, E. T. Stolesbury, E. M. Mc- llvaine, Archibald Johnson, = George F. Baer, J. P. Ord, Charles McVeagh. The officers are: E. M. Mcllvaine, presi- dent; A. E. Borie, vice president; H. S. Snyder, secretary: A. N. Cleaver, treas- urer; Archibald Johnson, general superin- tendent. All of the directors are new with the exception of Mr. Linderman and Mr. Stclesbury, who served on the other board. George F. Baer is president of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com- pany. Mr. Stolesbury is a member of the firm of Drexel ‘& Co. J. H. Ord and Charles McVengh are said to be New York capitalists. Messrs. Linderman, Mc- Ilvaine and Johnson were connected with the old Bethlehem Steel Company, the former as president. President Mcllvaine declined to state whether Mr. Schwab had purchased the stock for himself or for other persons. He declared, however, that the company would remain independent, but would be mm;e aggressive than it had been in the past. Schwab agreed to purchase the Bethle- hem Steel stock at $24¢ a share, provided Company’ 'was in- the Bethlehem Iro; cluded in the sale’ A meeting’ of the stockholders of the iron company was held, at which it was decided to sell to the steel company. Then the directors of both companies agreed to accept Schwab’s offer. Yesterday was fixed as the limit for depositing the stock to be sold. Many of the shareholders, it is said, did not avail themselves of ‘the opportunity, but the time will be extended for them.' The stock which has been deposited with the trust company, other than that paid for to-day, will be taken up within the next twenty days at the same rate per share. Attempts a Robbery and Fails. NASHVILLE, Tenn.,, Aug. 27.—One of the boldest hold-ups ever known here took place to-day when a gambler secured temporary possession of a purse contain- ing $4270 in iold and greenbacks. The banker in a gambling house had deposited the money in a book on the table and was counting the tickets, when Tom Johnson picked up the book. The banker ordered Johnson to put the money down, but he had a _revolver thrust in his face. There were five men in the room, and Johnson covered all of them while he backed out of the door. Johnson was finally over- hauled by a dpollcema.n. The money was recovered and Johnson committed to jail. He gave as an excuse for his escapade that the house owed him money. o Nationalists Coming to America. DUBLIN, Aug. 27.—The directory of the United Irish League met to-day and requested John Redmond, their leader. to Bo to the United States; in conjunction with Michael Davitt, and tion of the Nationalist movement before the Americans.

Henry Michelsen, vice president for Colorado, acted as chairman of the meeting. After an ad- dress of welcome by United States Sena- tor Thomas M. Patterson routine business occupied the rest of the morning. This afternoon papers on the United States Government forest work were read and discussed. Willlam L. Hall's paper was on ‘“‘Progress in Tree Planting,” and showed the increased interest felt over the country in the planting of forest trees. Gifford Pinchot of Washington, Forester of the Department of Agriculture, read a paper on “Grazing in the Forest Re- serves.” Pinchot said: The question of grazing, like every other that affects the natural forest reserves, is a ques- tion of the greatest good to the ‘greatest num- ber. The problem is how best to use the forest reserves for the promotion of all the business interests of the communities in or near which they lle. The reserves contain vast quantities of ‘grass and other forage which can only be harvested by grazing animals. Except in cases where grazing directly antagonizes interests of greater importance to the community there is every reason why it should be permitted under sensible regulations. Moderate grazing may pro- ceed in most of the reserves wholly without injury to the forest except in specified localities and greatly to the advantage of the general community. Overgrazing destroys both the for- est and the grazing Industry itself. The ques- tion is purely a local one, to be dectded in each case on jts own merits, but there Is no case in Which overgrazing is anything but a calamity. Edward Griffith, Secretary of Forestry, Washington, gave a comprehensive de: scription of the Black Hills forest r serve, which contains a population of 25,- 000, including_the two citles of Lead and Deadwood. Professor L. H. Pammell of Ames, in Towa, in discussing the question, ‘“What Should Be the Policy of the Go! ernment in the Ulntah Forest Reserve took a strong position against permitting sheep to graze thereon. He arraigned the present policy of the Government as ruin- ous to the best interests of the forest. With 200,000 sheep in the reserve the her- baceous plants are cut down in such a manner that the forest covering, so im- portant for the starting of a young forest Browth, s entirely prevented. Five years ago there was an abundance of feed Where, at the present time, many of the herds can scarcely find picking. Former- ly water was much more abundant than now. Perennial springs have ceased. The gnnds, lakes and meadows are drying up. heep’ are driven into the reserve in d flance of law and regulations. If the for- ests are to be protected the Government rcust exert its authority. Young Bookkeeper Commits Suicide. SALT LAKE, Utah, Aug. 2.—A special to the Deseret News from Spanish Fork, Uteh, says that Claire E. Krawcaw, a young bookkeeper employed by the Tel- luride Power Company, committed suicide there last night by taking laudanum. Krawcaw recently came to Spanish Fork from Denver. Sunday, while Kraweaw was out riding with a young lady, his wife appeared at his bonrslng ouse. ‘Word was sent to Payson to young Kra- caw and shortly after a message was re- celved that he had committed suicide in the hotel at that place. iy Gt Conservative Gains a Coveted Seat.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.—The connection of Sergeant Cramer, Detective Tracy and Lieutenant Joyce with the bogus expense account which has enveloped in a scandal the detective bureau and its chief, Cap- tain Colleran, was told to-day by Chief of Police O'Netll, who took the stand during the afternoon session of the Civil Service Comimission sitting as a trial board to investigate the matter. The developments created a sensation, particularly so when Chief O’Neill to.d of the alleged confessions of his subordi- nates, which they had in the main denied on the stand or saved themselves from re. peating on the grounds of self-incrimina- tion. The Chief also told how Captain Colleran and Lieutenant Joyce, as he al- leges, received their share of the spoils. The only thing not revealed was the source of information that led ta the un- earthing of the scandal. Attorney Gash, representing Lieutenant Joyce, made many attempts to confuse the evidence of the Chief of Police. Gash charged that the Chief was making false statements and said that the witness was actuated by an unfriendly feeling toward Lieutenant Joyce, all of which Chief O’Neill denied indignantly. Lieutenant Joyce, defendant in the case on trial, was called to the witness stand later in the day. Joyce denied everything. He declared that the statements made by Lieutenant McSweeney, Sergeant Cramer, Detective Tracy and Chief of Police O'Neill implicating him with the Larkin matter were untrue. He denied any knowledge of the Larkin case, of the movement of the officers and that they were paid for bring- ing the prisoner back from Cleveland. RAILROAD TO SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS Directors of the Union Pacific Outline a Plan for Vast Im- provements. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—It was semi- officially announced to-day that the direc- tors of the Union Pacific have outlined plans which will call for the expenditure of $40,000,000 on the Southern and Central Pacific systems, to be equally divided be- tween them. This will be chiefly for im- provements, in order to put those roads in perfect conditions. This amount of money will not all be ex- pended at once, but will be scattered over several years. At the start the surplus net earnings will be used. The principal improvements of the Central Pacific are a tunnel through the Sierra Nevada range to cost $5,000,000 or $6,000,000, leveling of grades, taking out curves and laying heav- fer rails so as to permit of handling greater traffic and running faster trains. he improvements in the Southern Pa- cific system will include the relaying of nearly the entire main line with heavier rails, changing of - fuel from coal to oil on several divisions, purchase of «il lands and general repairs to roadway. ‘Wheelmen Riding a Long Race.

TIN PLATE MEN DEFY STRIKERS Corporation Declares It ‘Will Not Accede to Demands. PITTSBURG, Aug. ZI.—Practically the only significant event in the strike to-day was the positive stand taken. by the American Tin Plate Company in reference to its course in the future. An official statement from this company to-day de- nies that there are any negotiations on foot looking to a settlement of the strike and authorized the statement that mills put into operation during the strike will be continued non-union and all men going to work now will be retained in their po- sitions. This statement will have its effect, be- cause of the fact that the tin plate trade has always been considered as among th‘ej stronghoids of the Amalgamated Asso- eiation, and the “defi” appears to have been brought about by the association declaring a strike against the tin plate company after the scale for the year nad been signed. Notwithstanding the fact that the Amalgamated people claim justi- fication on the ground that their constitu- tion provides for such procedure the offi- cials of the tin plate company consider the action a breach of trust and say that henceforth they are determined to cut loose from union labor entirely. The association officials treat the threat with indifference, their only reply being that the company cannot carry out its plan because nearly all the skilled tin workers of the country are members of the association and the plants cannot be run without them. The corporation, how- ever, has started several of their plants in a way and say they have all the men necessary within reach to ogeuts them in full as soon as the machinery is in proper shape. Developments of the Day. The developments of the day would ap- pear to evidence siow but sure gains by the corporation. The following summary gives the status in this district: I:iunter Mill—Six mulls b operated and management yS plenty o od ma- ferial is Deing turned out.

So the officials say have no knowledge officially of the tion of counsel by Admiral Sampson, bu privately it is admitted that he expects.io be so represented. It was learned to-day that W. H.

Mr. Stay is a graduate of the Naval Academy though coming out at the head class, elected to join the Marine He was detailed to duty In the offic w signed to practice law. The list of witnesses prepared by Ju Advocate Lemly and transmitted to miral Schley will be made public to-n row. Some time ago Admiral Sch sending his list of witnesses to partment, included a request for all t officers of the Brooklyn. The departme replied that a number of the officers the Brooklyn would be on the list pre- ared by the department, and asked Bave specifically named the Brooki officers he desired. The admiral respo ed to-day through Captain Parker of h counsel. He gave the names of the prin- cipal officers of the Brooklyn and also seven petty officers, including the quar masters who were at the wheel during ¢ action off Santiago. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.—The Record to-morrow _ will that Albert O’Brien, a prominent member of the P! adelphia bar, has been called in as sistant counsel for Rear Admiral Schiey in the coming investigation at Washin ton. Last Thursday Mr. O'Brien was in Washington in consultation with Admir: Schley’s counsel and materially assisted them in the preparation of the brief in the court of inquiry. During the late sixtics Mr. O’'Brien occupied the post of jud, advocate of the West Indian fleet, and 1869 was stationed at Annapolis, whe Schley was lieutenant commander. warm friendship developed there between the two men. Mr. O'Brien resigned from the navy in 1875 and took up the practice of law in Philadelphia. Constitution Suffers a Wrench. BRISTOL, R. I, Aug. 27.—Several plates were found to be in bad shape when t Constitution was drydocked here to-da. The yacht got a bad wrench when she grounded in Oyster Bay a few days ago, adding to the injury she sustained by striking an underwater obstruction duri the recent New York Yacht Club cru It is thought quite possible that much of the yacht's unsatisfactory work may be attributed to the condition of the plates on her keel. . @ i ing assault, but no more serious offense. The attorney then began the preparation of papers to ask for an injunction re- straining the stsikers from interfering with the non-unionists in any way. It is learned late to-night that President T. J. Shaffer has sent out letters to all members of the executive committee of the Amalgamated Assoclation inviting their approval of the peace plan agreed upon last Saturday by the representatives of the National Civic Federation and the ceived by Manager Wilson of the Aetna Standard plant to dismaatle mill No. 1 and ship it to Vandergrift a force of men ‘was at work and to-day part of the ma- chinery was loaded on cars ready for shipment to Vandergrift. The Amalga- mated leaders here say the strike had nothing to do with the removal of the mill, which was decided on long ago. Business men fear the removal of the en- tire plant.” The excitement at McKeesport at mid- night is intense. Between 200 and 30 strikers are the streets in an angry mood over reports to the effect that the Demmler plate plant would resume at § o’clock in the morning. About 10 o’clock a boat was seen endeavoring to make a landing near the mills. As soon as the strikers caught sight of the boat a roar went up and a rush was made for the river bank.
