The Picketts and Dispatch nine, both
of ST. Paul, have each posted forfeit
of S25 with the sporting editor of the
GLOBE. Each forfeit, however, has a
string to it. The PickettS want to play
on any ground in the state outside of
Leip's park, White Bear, and the Dis
patch men want to play nowhere except
Leip's park. because they say they have
arranged with the manager of the park
to play all games there. Mr.. Kennedy,

Preparations for the Inaugural
Races About Completed.
A remarkable feature of the St. Paul
Driving club meeting next week is that
it brings to the Hamline track the rae
ing blood of Northwestern breeding,
which has eclipsed the laurels Of Ken
lucky and California. No racing meet
ing of the Northwest has ever brought
together such class of horses, ranging
through the phenomenal wonders Ak
tell, AllertOn, Alaric, Argyle. Bessemer,
Silver Cloud, Major Linn, and host of
others. The Minnesota public will see
in the 120 horses gathered at Hamline
next Tuesday collection OF fast horses
never brought together before in this
country. The offer of big purses by the
club has of course attracted every
noted horSeman who has not had en-
gagementS elsewhere. The Rochester
people promise to give SllaS Wright a
grand reception on Tuesday. st. Paul
people will royalty receive Bruno
Beaupre's PAGERS on Wednesday, when
they pace to beat their record Of 2:22.
The wholesale houses are making
great efforts to close on Wednesday
afternoon SO as to receive AXtell with
royal honorS when he goes against his
worlds record OF 2:15b. Thursday is
Minnesota day, and Friday for the en-
tire Northwest. The programme of
three races for each day is so diver
sified as to make each day separate
gem. The presence of Hon. Charles
N. Smith as judge will be ample guar
antee of the quickness and fairness with
which starts will be MADE. The grand
stand at the Hamline track is in ex-
ceIlent shape: and by Monday night the
track will be frmer than it has ever
been before. To-day the best horses
at the Minneapolis meeting cross the
Marshall avenue bridge. and take up
their quarters at Hamline. There will
be 500 horsemen at the different hotels
by Sunday night.

rhe Ring OF Coral Reefs ON Which the
War Ships Were Wrecked.
WASHINGTON, D. G., March 29.-Capt.
Selfridge, U. S. N, was found ct the
Navy Department this morning porting
over a chart of the harbor of Apia,
which he visited several years ago.
very bad harbor, it was the best
of the Pacific island harbors, that of
Apia is formed by coral reef encircling
the island at short distance from the
shore. The anchorage space available
for men-of-war is contracted, being
about 1000 feet wide at the mouth of
the harbor. The bottom is sandy, af-
fording slight hold for an anchor, and
the harbor is exposed on the north. On
each side Of the entrance are coral
reefs which are awash at high water, and
are surrounded by shoals. The depth OF
water ranges from four to eight fathoms,
pretty deep water being found close in
shore, which would enable ship to get
close in. Hurricanes or cyclones at
Apia are usually from the southwest,
and revolving in the harbors tend to
force vessels on the rugged reefs or
rough shores. The last hurricane &C.
Cured at Ap1a just SIX years ago. For
tunatelv no men-of-war were in the har-
Dor, but every merchantmen was driven
ashore or wrecked. houses were de-
stroyed. and palm trees uprOoted.
1t is the opinion OF Admiral Harmony.
who is also familiar with the Samoa
Islands, that the English man of-w
owed her escape to the fact that she ha,
steam up and was enabled to push
out to sea. The number of
vessels lying in the small harbor was
source OF danger to them individually,
for if one dragged her anchors. size
would very probably collide with and
carry away another ship which might
otherwise have held securely.

San FRANCISCO, Cal, March 26.-The
Occidental and Oriental steamer
Arabic, arrived late last night, bring
ing Kong Kong news to February

IL. In Shanting the anti-foreign ex-
element runs high. February %, at
Chetoo, the Europeans feared an attack
from mutinous troops. 1t was reported
that the Chinese troops were meeting
at the fort, and that the mutineers
proposed marching against the custom
house and other places. AS no man-of-
war was there, intense excitement pre-
vailed. No attack was made, however.
A missionary from Chi Hal Yu states
that the Chinese in that city have post
ed placards outside various foreign resi-
dences notifying the tenants that they
intend to massacre all Christians before
long. The rebels are supposed to num-
Der $500. On Feb. %, 500 soldiers were
sent to intercept them but could find no

Leaders of the Fall River Strike May Not
Return to Work.
FALL RIVER, Mass, March 29.-All tbs
mills were running to-day except the
American linen mill, nearly all with
their full complement of weavers. The
linen mills were not ready to start on
account of the non-completion of some
repairs to machinery. 1t is expected
they will be ready to start to-mor-
row. The weavers were given their
old looms. There were some ex-
ceptions, however, which caused
some npleasantness. At the
Pocasset mill about fifty weavers who
had been working on fancy goods, were
told this morning that their places had
been filed, and If they wanted work on
print cloths they could have it. They
refused. and stayed out. They say, on
the looms offered them, they would
earn $1.50 per week less than the fancy
goods. They will hold a meeting this
afternoon. At the Osborne mill, No. 2,
about forty-6ve old weavers were refused
work. At some other mills individual
cases are reported. All these cases will
be considered by the weavers' commits
tee tonight. There i, belief that some
of the most active strikers may be
blacklisGed.

Vandalia was a bark-rigged wooden
corvette Of 2,1OO tons, carrying eight
guns, mostly smooth bores. The Nipsic
was wooden vessel. She was built in
1873, and was e-built in 1879. She was
bark-rigged, 1876 feet long and IS
feet beam. Her battery consisted of
one 8-inch muzz.e-loading rifle, four g.
inch smooth-bores, and one 60-pound
breech-loading rifle converted Parrot.
In the secondary battery, one 3-inch
rifed howitzer, one 12-pounder, and
one Calling gun.
The Olga was an unarmored single
decked cruiser of 1900 tons, built in
1880. Her principal battery consisted
of eight 6-inch Krupp guns, and num-
Der of Hotchkiss revolving cannon.
The Adler and the Eber were not as
large nor as strong as the Olga, the Ad
Ter carrying four and the Eber three
Krupp rifles.
The Trenton had forty-two officers
and men on board when she sailed from
home. the Vandalia carrying 200 and
strength of the American feet at Samoa
SEQ men, or nearly double the strength
of the German forces. The Olga had
267 men, the Adler 1913 men,
and the little Eber eighty-seven
men, yet with one-half of the,
number of the American forces. these
unfortunate vessels appear to have lost
more than twice as many men. Some
naval officers think this an indication
that the American vessels had greater
structural strength than the German
ships, or that superior seamanship was
shown.
