4 VEsTERN COLT WINS TIE SUBURBAN.
Probably the heaviest betting on any race
ey or seen i'm America was decided when lr0u-
badour won the Suburban Handicap at Sleeps
head Bay Yesterday. All previous contests in
this country were surpassed in the number OF
horses that found enthusiastic hackers when
the weights we're announced, and for months
bookmakers in all parts of the United States
have been recording bets on the representatives
of the various stables from which entries were
made. In addition to the big sums wagered
before Suburban day there was great activity
in every pool room and booking office III the
chief cities from an early hour yesterday until
word was telegraphed in the afternoon to New
York. Philadelphia, Chicago, st. Louis, Cln-
cinnati, Louisville, Baltimore and other betting
centres that the horses were at the post. a
little later the message went from the track
that the Western colt Troubadour was the
winner.
Few larger mnltitudes have watched horses
run on this side of the Atlantic than that when
gathered at Sheepshead Bay to see the Subur-
ban. The interest and excitement up to the
time the twenty horses started on their journey
were exceptional, and the bookmakers stands
on the grounds of the Coney Island Jockey
Club were stormed by impetuous crowds so
eager for q chance to lose their money that they
were almost ready to fight for the privilege.
But when the race was fairly under way the stir
of feversh expectation was soon over. Trou-
badOur quickly showed himself so much better
than the best of his rivals that it became only
a question of how much he should win by. He
ran a race of rare merit and took for himself
high place in the list of renowned American
thoroughbreds. His performance was SO fine
as to arouse enthusiasm, but the affair lacked
the fascination and the wild delight with which
a hotly disputed finish between great racers
always thrills multitude of spectators.
A singular feature of this years Suburban
was that all the avorites-TrOubadour, Lizzie
Dwyer, Ban Fox, Joe Cotton and FavOr-wcie
from the West. But of these five only TrOu-
badour stood the test with credit. The others
were easily outrun by Richmond, Savanac and
Himaaya, all from Eastern stables, and
Ban Fox and Joe Cotton amazed every one by
their lack of speed. But TroubadOur made
amends for their failure. Re ran well enough
to sustain the highest reputation of Western
horses, and he will never appear on a course
again without host of admirers and followers.

THE UEEEFlELD DISASTER.

The Massachusetts Railroad Commissioners
have reported upon the recent disaster on the
State line of railroad operated by the Fitchburg
Railroad Company. 1t will be remembered that
the track gave way while train was passing
over it, and threw nearly all the cars down an
embankment two hundred feet high, into the
Deeriied River. The investigation made by
the Board has resulted in the discovery that
three causes contributed to produce the acct
dent, viz rotten crb-work the absence of Il
cuvert, and the weight of the bank which
rested on the crib-work. About half-w down
the high embank .nent piece of crb-work had
been put in when the road was first built. 1t
consisted of hemlOck logs the inner ends of
which were battered to the ock-ledge
Upon this crib-work heavy filling of rubble
and earth had been placed, and the cribbing
being eifectually covered its existence appears
to have been forgotten, and the commissioners
say that it was not known to the present opera
tors of the road. 1t had been proposed by the
State engineers to put IN culvert close to the
scene of the accident, but because at that time
there was some popular complaint of the ex-
penditures on the State railroad this precauton
was postponed, and it is not diilicult to see that
the subsequent disaster was mainly due to the
absence Of just such an escape for the drainage
which accumulated on the inner side of the
track.
a deep ditch was constructed there, along the
foot of the bluff. Had there been culvert to
carry of the water draining into this ditch the
crb-woik would probably not have rotted. and
the embankment above it would almost GER
tainly not have become saturated. In the
Absence of culvcrt, however. the ditch did
mere harm than good, for it collected tie water
water, having 10 outlet, then made its way
through the sides and bottom. and soaked down
underneath the crib work, Totting that, and
gradually separating the superintendent filling
from the original hillside, and converting il
into great sponge. The accident was precipi-
tated by the work undertaken to strengthen the
rOad-bed when the second line of rails was
laid. A great zeal of material was then thrown
on the outer scarp of the emhankment with the
purpose of broadening and solidfying it ;
really, however. this was 80 much additional
weight put upon that body of rock and earth
which had already been undermined by the
drainage, aud which was OF course made more
unstable by every ton pnt upon it,
In the circum stances il is clear that no ordi-
nary inspection could have averted the accident
Nobody belonging to the Fitchburg Railroad
Company was cognizant of the concealed crib
work. All the engineers supposed the embank-
mcnt solid. 1t is true that tAs absence of a

enforced willingness to accept the lnevitap'e.

INCORPORATED LdBOR

While sham friends of the cause OF labor are
advocating all sorts of bills to give everybody
everything. a measure has been quietly passed
in tho Senate which many wise and sincere
leaders of labor believe will do great good.
Like every genuine remedy, it requires action,
and wise action, by individuals to make 1t OF
service. Nobody can uplift labor unless labor
uplifts itself. The provisions OF this bill per-
r,;t tho formal incarceration of trades unions
under United States law. 1t is true, they can
be used for unworthy as well as LOT worthy
nurnoscs. and the large power which such or
CARNATIONS can WELD may easily be ap"seu.
But it is safe to say that the incorporated
body. as it would have rights and powers when
the present associations do not possess wouiu
also be subject to wholesome restraints.
An incorporated body would have power to
act AZ the legal agent of its voluntary mem
beers. II could enter into contracts for tEem,
representing them openly and legitimately, ana
refusing in their name to continue any work
until its contracts were observed, and in such
action its officers would be fully protected
against anv Law under which strikes are now IN
many cases mere cOnspiracies to lnJure. On
the other hand, an Incorporated trades union
cannot evade responsibility for the contracts IL
NAV make. It's members could be forced to
carry out their agreement, or they would
sacrifice their organization and all its means.
1t could not engage in boycott or any other
unlawfu assault upon the rights of individuals
without severe penalty. 1t could not force
men to become members by violence or by
threats. Its operations could thus in many
respects be restrained by the law. Workers
who desire the largest possible benefits attain
able through trades unions, without the abuses
and evils now liable to result from such organ
izations will naturally welcome this act as
measure of great value.

American Navy The glories of Decatur, Hull,
Perry and Farragut have SHRINK to this-our Navy

of complacent people when disagreeable critics
talked Of antiquated wooden ships and prehistoric
coast Notifications to say oh, yes, but we have
torpedoes" At the naval drill it was shown that
both for offence and defence such torpedo appliances
as the United States Navy has are utterly useless.
The steam launches and pulling boats cannot be
utilized for effective torpedo boats and the use OF
spar torpedoes by the ships rendered necessary their
slowing down so much that in actual battle they
would have been unable to make use of thcm The
torpedoes themselves are said to be OF an obsolete
pattern These torpedo experiments were made,
1t must be remembered under the most favorable
circumstances and the operations were directed by
officers who have been through most thorough
course of instruction in torpedo warfare.

culvert might have, and perhaps ought to have,
suggested doubt rs to the situation; but the
mischief going on was out Of sight. ana 1t does
not appear that thorc was any sipage on the
lower and outer side of the embankmcnt. to call
attention to the direction taken by the dram
age. 1t can hardly be doubted that when the
road was turned over to the State full state
ment of the construction of every part of it
should have been made for the guidance OF the
rev owners but this was not done, and the
result is that primitive engineering and fit OF
public parsimony are together responsible for
a serious accident. The fact that i'll this case a
piece of work necessary for the protection of
the public was relinqushed because the public
were not willing to bear the expense may be
regarded as throwing some light upon the
working of that Idethod of State ownership OF
railroads which Mt one time and another has
found so many advocates. AS to the present
operators of the road concerned, the commits
sioners cannot find that they are responsible
for the Deerreld disaster in any way, while the
Board heartily praises the fidelity and unselfish
devotion of the train-men who were involved
in the accident.

TIE ULSTER BIOT

The rioting in Belfast and other parts Of
Ulster is Of most disgraceful character. The
mobs, which have been attacking Roman
Catholics, sacking taverus, setting fire to houses
and shops and conducting high debauch i'll the
cutters have taken advantage of the defeat of
the Home Rule bill and have celebrated the
occasion in registering style. The details of
these shameful proceedings and the inability Of
the local police to rcpross the disorders and to
dispense the rioters will bring bushes to the
cheeks of reputable IrisLmen of the North, who
are justly pioud of the good name and sterling
virtues OF the Ulster population. Ii would be
us unfair to regard these drunken orgies and
scenes of pillaGe and law.essncss as character
istic demonstrations of the people Of Ulster as it
would be TO hold the main body of Nationalist
responsible for the excuses of the criminal
classes of Cork or the agraTian Outrages of ex-
cllable TENANTS in Galway. There is no better
stock in the United Kingdom that the Presby-
terans of the North Of Ireland, and these
ravages of drunken mobs are not their work.
The lawless classes in Belfast under the leader
ship OF the rashcst spirits of the Orange lodges
have given full rein TO their passions and
brought reproach upon the whole province.
discredtablc riots is the necessity of rigid self
restraint on the part of responsible political
leaders in England. Ulster with its population
evenly divided betwc, Protestants and Roman
Catholics is "a powder magazine which cannot
be approached IN safety by iirebrands like Lord
Randolph Churchill The speeches which lie
made in that quarter not long ago created in
tense excitement that has not yet cooled. The
open encouragement which Mr.. Chamberlain
and other opponents of Home Rule have lent to
a policy of resistance and military preparation
has tended to inilame religious resentment and
to bring about such explosions of the worst ele-
ments of the population as are now witnessed.
Who srps With the Devil must have long
spoon. The leaders Of the anti Home Rule
coalition have not scruplcd to make political
use of the excitable temper and evil passions of
the Orange party. The madcaps have taken fire
and contrivcd 10 convert their rejoicing over
