and made 233 miles in less than 4S hours.
His trainers and hackers seem sure Of him,
and he shows little signs of fatigue, being
20 miles ahead of Hughes, who in the last
contest made the tremendous record of sos
miles. Littlewood is also marvel, this be-
ing his first attempt at long race. Some
of the men show at times evident signs Of
pain and fatigue, but in brief time come
up to scratch with seemingly marvellous
recuperative power. The betting is lively
and by no means one-sided, and the specta-
tors increase daily.
1t will doubtless surprise those of your
readers who are at all acquainted with the
magnitude and ramiRcations of that great
monopoly known as the American News
Company, to learn that split has occurred
in the organization, and what for years has
been held to be an impossibility has actual
ly come to pass, viz, the formation Of an
opposition company, headed by the former
assistant manager of the old company, Mr..
w. M. Chapman. 1t will be designated
"The United States News Company" and
its organizers have rented part of the old
wholesale Stewart bull ling, corner of
Reade street, Chambers street and Broad.
way. Among its hackers are reported to be
Robert Bonner, of The Ledger, the Stew
art Estate, some wealthy officials of the
News Company, and notably prominent
member OF the book-trade Of Chicago. How
ever veracious these rumors are the new
enterprise at least starts with a capital of
over a million dollars, will at least divide
the business with the old corporation, and
in consequence break a monopoly which
has long been grievous burden on the
book and newspaper trade of the country.
The new iron steamer, Cygrus, made her
first excursion yesterday from Pier to Co.
ney Island Iron Pier in forty-fve minutes.
She is the first Of a fleet of seven which are
to begin regular trips next Saturday, and is
mainly remarkable for her great breadth,
sound structure, and numerous water-tight
compartments.
Commodore" Mutt, so widely known in
connection with General" Tom Thumb,
both here and in Europe, has just died.
The small man had Of late years given up

dastrous ventures as a concert saloon keep

seven years old, but doubtless the periodical

WHO Is REsPOSsIBLE,

Who is responsible for the quarrel among
Republicans which now RACES so fiercely in
New York and is likely to extend to every
Northern State? Recent developments
make it certain that the general belief of
Blaiue's responsibility for the policy which
has divided the Republican party into two
hostile camps, is entirely erroneous. Gar

rum, carpets and other articles to the pri-
vate use of little ring of clerks. The sum
of $lS2, 900 per year has been appropriated
for the purchase Of such supplies as are
needed about the Department, and these
stores ale in charge of clerk with the title
Of custodian. The present occupant of that
position seems TO have made great deal Of
hay while the sun Of opportunity shone
upon his meridian.
Among other things large amount of
carpeting seems to have been purchased,
but it has not been put down in the build
ing. Then again there is a barrel of bay
rum on hand though nobody knows what
the Treasury Department wants Of that ar
ticle. Not long ego the desk upon which
Thomas jefferson wrote the Declaration of
Independence was presented to the Presi-
dent, whereupon fifteen fac sin,ileS were
made from material and labor paid for out
of this fund and presented to the little ring
of clerks and their friends. These are a few
Of the items, and enough to illustrate what
has been going on. Some of these clerks
are living at the rate of $4,000 per year on
salaries Of $l4OO or $500. Just how much
of this sort of thing there may be going on
in other departments it would be hard to
tell; but if there are any citizens of this
country who have believed in the principle
of life tenure in official positions it is
likely that the events of the last few weeks
may have convinced them that complete
change of administration is not bad thing
once in a while. Secretary Window and
Postmaster General James have shown US
that the time was ripe for change in their
departments.
There was recently some stir over the
prospective contest of Smalls, colored, for
the seat of Tillman, Democrat, in the next
House of Representatives, when the official
papers and documents representing Small's
side of the case reached the Clerk of the
House by express. On the outside of the
package of documents was tied big, rough
hickory club, with knots on it nearly an
inch long. This club was marked "exhbit
D." and in the testimony is declared to be
one of the identical weapons used to bull.
doze the colored vote in South Carolina
The "exhbit' is really the body of good
sized hickory sapling, and bullock could
easily be killed with it. This is the first
contested case in which "exhibits' of thi:
character have been produced, and the re.
ceipt of this pole caused considerable
amusement at the Capitol.
