the Californians.

lena Sports Downed for u Big Sum by
the Californians.
HELENA, August 25.-Five horses re
onded for the free-for-all trot and u
bod track representation resulted, Slo-
i'm winning, Condee second, Little Joe
eird, the great Hilton distanced, will
Anchero sent to the stable first for fail
g to get inside the flag at the distance
ost. Time, 2:s6A, 2:2411a, 2:s1, 2:24.
This was the greatest betting race ever
pen in Montana, many pools running
rom 81, 900 to $1,565. The heavy gins
nong our Montana spectators met some
4ua]ly heavy weights from other sec
Ions and q Waterloo at their hands with
Lot Slocum. He was the favorite from
he opening to the closing Of the pools.
The highest water marked 1856. One
han drew over $4,000 from the auction
bool box.
There was nothing of especial interest
h the trot as race. It true that faster
lime was made than any heretofore re-
korded in our territory, butit was the re-
|nlt Of no special effort on Slocum's part.
He seemed to command the situation
from first to last. Condee tried to give
him a race, but Slocum always held him
perfectly safe. Hilton cut sorry figure
|and was distanced in the deciding heat,
after having new driver substituted for
EGriffen. Poor old. Ranchero did not ap-
Epear at himself at all and was shut out in
Sthe third heat. In the auction pools the
rates at which each horse sold were
Slocum, 800 to $3.50; Hilton, SIS to $685.
I Condee, $45 to 5000; Little Joe, $50 to
$50; Ranchero, s15 to $40. The hackers
of Hilton fell very heavy, as did those
who fancied Condee and backed his
chances. Ranchero's friends put up theil
money, hoping he would be able to save
his distance until the other horses tired
and then hoped his well-known endur
ance and courage might enable him tt
pull the race of. Mutuals paid Firs
heat, slocum, 5000; second heat, Condee
1896; third heat, Slocum, $12.6O; fourtl
heat, Slocum, $7.1O. .

] The electric light was turned on last
night for the first time. The business
houses, a majority of which were lighted,
presented a brilliant appearance. The
lights in front of the Park hotel and
Murphy, Maclay & Co.'s store threw their
rays on the sidewalk, lighting it up for
quite distance. A Tribune reporter
paid visit to the works and found every
thing working smoothly. The engine
used is of fifty horse rower with large fly
wheels that make 275 revolutions pzr
minute. Two belts run from these wheels
to the dynamos, which make 1,400 revo-
lutlons per minute.
The principle upon which the current
is generatedis called frictonal electricity.
OF course there is electro-motive force,
ohms of resistance and various other
terms that would bewilder and puzzle any
one but an expert.
There are indicators to show how much
electricity is used each night and ampere
meters to ascertain the electro motive
force.
The entire plant is under the immedi-

The pikesville Arsenal.

We have received copy of the memorial
of the Association of the Maryland Line" to
the General Assembly of Maryland, praying
that the Pikesville Arsenal, in Baltimore
county, with its buildings and grounds, may
be turned over to the Association, to be used
by it as a home for such destitute and infirm
Confederate soldiers as they may deem wor-
thy, and to appropriate the sum of $1,000
per annum as long as may be necessary, to be
paid to the said Association for the support of
the same.
The Arsenal has been turned over to the
Association, in compliance with the memorial.
To this we have no objection. Having re-
ceived the gift of the Arsenal, the Association
now wants $4,000 per annum to support it.
We trust the Legislature will not grant it. 1t
would be an act of injustice to the taxpayers
of the state, ample provision for the poor
having already been made by them. Capt.
George W. Booth, in his address before the
Association, while considering this subject,
said: ave ask not for public charity"
What would this be but public charity, and
humiliating reflection to every highs spirit
ed and selfrespecting incumbent of this
soldiers home, supported by the money of
the state. No, let no aid be given to it by
the state, but let an appeal be made by the
Association to that chivalric sentiment for
which Marylanders have ever been dstin-
guished, and they will testify their apprecia-
ton of the bravery and heroism of the ben
eficiaries of this movement, and, in the
language of Capt Booth, "there should be
no difficulty in raising as much as fifty
dollars in Maryland for an object
which appeals so strongly to our humanity as
well as our state pride" Such aid would be
a voluntary offering directly from the sympa-
thetic hearts of the people, accompanied by
no humiliating reflections of sustenance by
state dole, but source of honest and manly
pride and satisfaction to every inmate.

His generous disposition and suaylty OF manner

lug than Mr. Morris. Hamilton knows this. and Is
laboring TO make tool of him. He affects to tell
Mr., Morris that the New England men viii bargain
to fix the permanent seat at the Potomac or at Bal
timorc
And so on the bargain is described and re-
peated until it was finally closed, as narrated
by Mr.. Jefferson-''by giving the temporary
seat to Philadelphia for ten years, and to
Georgetown permanently so two
of the Potomac members, White and Lee,
but White with revulsion of stomach almost
convulsive, agreed to change their votes, and
Hamilton undertook to carry the other point.
In doing this the influence he had established
over the Eastern members, and with the
agency of Robert Morris, with those of the
Middle States, effected his side of the engage
ment, and so the assumption was passed"
That old and hoary piece of jobbery, the
Assumption bill, has always been known to
have had finger in the capital pie, but until
DR.. Shaw brought out the journal of Mr..
Maclay it was not known how clearly it dis
proved the "pecuniary argument" as well as
the alleged selfish advantage theory which
many have supposed to underlie the Advances
of Maryland and Virginia of the money which
built the first public buildings at Washington.
The report is very voluminous and exceedingly
interesting, and DIR. Shaw has not only defen-
ded the justice and propriety of the claim for
the return of this advance, but he has also
thrown new light upon dark and uncertain
chapter of the early history of the govern
ment.
The report is too long for the columns of a
newspaper, but it will be found of very great
interest to the people of Maryland, as well as
| favorable report on matter of no small
amount. The states demand is
or ST., 900, with interest from 1912, when she
irst demanded the return. The principal and
orty-six years interest will aggregate s27O,-
100. Virginia's claim is for S120,0oo with
interest for like period. Z
The bill, thus favorably reported, is on the
calendar of the Committee of the Whole, and
eeond bill on the call of the Committee on
Iaims
