LOUISVILLE, April 23.-The Jockey
Club directors, after much delibera-
ton, have decided to run the Derby
on the opening day of the spring
meeting, as usual, but the field will
not be free, as it was in former years.
1t is now almost an assured fact that
the club will retain the pooling priv
ileges at the track this season. The
chances are also that there will be- no
book betting, since the "books" have
announced their intention OF not going
in at Col. Clark's figures. In order to
have any betting at all, therefore,
Clark will revive the "Paris Mutual"
form of betting. Apparently the asso-
Citations are going to make square
stand against book-makers. 1t has
been announced from New York that
Jerome Park and Coney Island will
take exactly the same position as
sumed by the Louisville Jockey Club,
and will sell ONLY French and auction
pools, and it is said that Lexington
will do the same thing.

Flight of Jail Birds,

SAN DIEGO, April 23.-Four prison
ers, named Young, Fowler, Pool and
Shock, escaped from the county Jail
early this morning. 1t appears that
during yesterday afternoon the men
sawed through one Of the bars of the
window on the northeast corner OF the
Jail and this morning squeezed
through the small aperture, broke the
fastening of the iron screen, and by
means OF a blanket let themselves
out OF window into the court yard.
From there they scaled the high board
fence in the rear OF the Jail. There
was but one guard on duty at the
time, the force having been reduced.
The Sheriff thinks the men we've
assisted from outside, as tracks of
horses were found this morning in the
rear of the Jail, where they had been
hitched. The men were serving SEN
tences for from two to ten years for
various ofenses. Rewards have been
offered for their capture.

Marten, the condemned murderer of
Fred. Neitzel, a saloon-keeper, whom
he killed for his money, escaped from
the Tacoma Jail shortly after midnight.
He was to have been hanged on
Friday, the 9th inst, and the death
wa ch had been set. Marten was
chained to the floor with shackles and
guard was with him all the time.
Just after midnight the latter fell
asleep, and Marten took off his
chains, and locking the guard in the
cell, made his escape. He has not
yet been found. A curious feature of
the case is that a dispatch was re-
ceived from Olympia to-day stating
that the Supreme Court had granted a
writ of error in Martens case and
that rehearing would have to take
place at a future term of the court.

one Of the best ever seen on the home

bat and was struck by pitched ball,
which caught him on the forehead,
cutting nasty cash, that made it i'm

tative Morrow, of California, to-day
introduced in the House the following
joint resolution;
WHEREAS, Certain European pow
ers have recently pursued in the Pa
cifc Ocean an aggressive policy Of
annexation and colonization, which
has resulted in the most com plete de-
struction of native independence and
autonomy in that quarter of the globe !;
and f@Y
WHEREAS, In view of the growing
importance of the commercial inter-
ests of the United States in the Pa

be maintained whatever remains OF
independent government in that part
of the world free from European DOM
ination and control; and
WHEREAS, In the Samoa Islands,
one of the few remaining independent
groups of the Pacific Ocean, recent
events have tended to impair, if not
absolutely destroy, their independ-
ence and autonomy, and,
WHEREAS, The United States, as a
friendly power, having commercial
interests in said islands, and as the
first Government to respect and en-
courage their independence and enter
into treaty relations with them, is in
terested in maintaining their au-
tonomy and independence therefore,
be it
Resolred, That the present condi-
ton of affairs at Samoa, requires that
this Government should aid the peo-
pie of those islands in securing dip
lomatic arrangement and independ-
ent native government free from the
claim of territorial jurisdiction Of the
European power, and to the end that
this purpose may be speedily and
effectively accomplished, the Presi-
dent of the United States is hereby
requested to continue to interpose the
good offices Of this Government in
the effort to settle and adjust the
present difficulties at Samoa upon 8

New YORK, April 23.-In the United

lace to-day heard the argument in the
case Of the rector, wardens and vestry
Of the Church Of the Holy Trinity.
The case arose out of the en-
gagement of Rev. E. Walpole
Warren, Of England, as pastor.
Mr.. Warren arrived here in Septem-
Der last. 1t was claimed that the
clergyman's engagement came under
the law forbidding the importation of
contract labor. For the defense it
was claimed that the act referred only
to those who perform manual labor.

sion was reserved.
