NEW YORK, April pa sporting
paper says: We are told that the sup
preston of pool selling will lead to a
more csmorous and offensive style OF
betting; that men will fsunt their green
backs in the eyes OF those who occopy
the grand stand at Jerome Park, and
shout their propositions in the cosrsest
kind of language. They will do
nothing Of the kind. A portion of the
park will, in all probability, be set apart
TOR the use of speculstors. Here they
can initiate the msniacs of the stock ex
change, if such Is there pleasure, but as
for making parade themselves IN front
of the grand stand, that will not, or at
least should not be allowed
Already much interest is taken in the
coming race between Ten Brock and
Aristides, and doubtless q strong eastern
delegation will attend the May meeting
of the Louisville jockey club.

CLEVELAND, April 2S.-On Friday
last a party OF spor,smen from this city,
while cunning slcng the lake shore at
Eucnde village, ten miles east OF here,
found the dead tody OF a man on the
beach. The body was burned on the
back, one leg was broken and the other
had large flesh wound IN it. The head
was perfect and was covered with black
hair, and the face with whiskers. There
was no clothing on the body. They dug q
grave near by and buried it. After the
burial description of the body was told
on the railroad and it was at once recog-
nized rs the body of z. Z. Bliss, OF
Chicago, who was lost on Friday even
ing, December 20, at Ashtabuia, in the
great railroad accident. The theory is
that the body WAS frozen TO cake OF Ice
and carried up the lake to the point
where It was found. Euclide is fifty
miles west of Ashtabula. The body Will
be taken up to morrow and probably
further investigation will be made.

Alaska AHA,rs.
A Portland special says; fersons just
in from Alaska on the steamer Calitor-
MIA state that the order recently issued
by the government Withdrawing the
troops from the post at that place and
Fort Wrsngel has produced . very de-
pressing effect IN business. Grave ap-
prehsusions are felt that serious difh-
culties will arise between the lndiass
aud resident whites. The lawlss and
turbulent element seems 10 predominant
in Alaska, and the presence OF troops 10
necessary to keep these mArauders in
q condition OF peaceful subjugation. BY
withdrawing the soldiers, |, is claimed.
there will be little or no protection to
lie or property. The Indians a-s bold
and impudent, and when the troops are
gone, there vii. be nothing 10 restrain
their rspscity. In view Of these inovita-
bic results, the merchants aud business
men residing in Alaska ieei discouraged.
Should the order be enforced, the with

effect on trade between Alaska posts
and the outside CONNER cisl world There
