Speaking of the contemplated colt race
which was interfered with by the police

morning: Il don't wish newspaper no.
toriety in this matter, but am surprised,
| must say, that Mr.. Baldwin should
have made the statements appearing in
Saturday nights ARGUS. They were to-
tally unwarranted. The fact of the mat
ter was-and witnesses will hear me out
in what say-that the only cowardice
manifested was on the part OF the owner
and those interested in the West Liberty
horse. Twas on the ground of the proposed
race promptly on the time agreed upon
8 o'clock but Mr.. Baldwin did not ap-
pear until ten minutes to O'Clock. And
Mr.. Baldwin had previously urged that
the race be trotted at s, in order that he
might ship his colt back to West Liberty
on the O'Clock train"
Mr.. Negus also stated that Mr.. Bald
win had objected repeatedly to the track
and that if anybody insligated the police
in interfering it was those interested in
the West Liberty horse. and that when
the race was prevented, he. (Negus) Of
fered that they go out to the fair grounds
and have the race as Baldwin had pre-
viously requested, and that furthermore
he was willing to go to Davenport, but
learned that the track there was not IN
fit condition. Said Mr.. Negus, Il don't
deny that the West Liberty colt is a
good one-one of the best in fact that
ever saw, but the one am backing can
beat him every time" Mr. Negus has
now issued a challenge TO Geo. Baldwin
and Stephen Hoover to trot the colt
owned by J. F. Renfro against the colt

badly scalded this morning by tho giving
way of the caps of one of the valves
through which the hot water and steam
rushed upon him, knocking HIM through a
doorway into the coal bunker and horribly
scalding him. He had sufficient presence of
mind to hold his breath and rush to the
other end of the bunker and crawl through
the manhole to the deck. The steam blis-
tored the paint in the engine room.

Upper Route.
WASHINGTON, June 8.-Rear Admiral
Ammen has received letter from Civil
Engineer Menocal in Nicaragua, dated
May s, in which he says: Il can now say
that the upper route is far more favorable
in many respects, both as to cost and engin-
eering difficulties, than the one recon-
mended by me in 1885. The total length of
the canal in excavation from Ochoa to
Greytown will probably not exceed nine
1t will have, instead of the single long EN-
bankment proposed in 1885, several short
embankmeuts, amounting in the aggregate
to less than a single one. The embankment
proposed in 1885 can remain, practically,
where originally designed, and several hun
dred feet less in length by swinging the
western abutment a few hundred feet to
the north, but | have preferred
to change its position alto
gether, and thus save money and
difficulties in construction. / am very glad
that both routes will be located with the
same care, for now we will be prepared to
answer all questions and establish true
comparison between the two routes The
work on the west side of the lake will bring
out in more striking colors the advantage
of that section of the canal"
