CHICAGO. July IO.-The night between

annual encampment, announced 10 take
place this year at Milwaukee. NJ suTren-
der vas made by the railroads and this
afternoon the committee Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic department commanders
who have been Agitsting the subject held
meeting here and proceeded with
the attempt 10 carry out their
threat In the event of the rail
roads proving obstinate the encampments
should be made, IL possible, merely an as
SemDlage of delegates instead of a huge
popular gathering. The commission voted
to send a circular TO all department COM
manders throughout the country urging
that attendance on the encampment be
limited, so far as practicable. in the
manner above described. Preparations
at Milwaukee for the entertainment OF
great crowds expected have been virtually
suspended, owing to the dispute with the
railroads, and tO-day's action of the com
mittee OF commanders, may, il is feared,
render the stoppage permanent.

bers of the local Grand Army encAmpment
council express a good deal of Indignation
at the action of the department command

and say that all preparations

Derby Winner.

What is said of the Owner of the Great
Derby Winner.
New York Sportsman Juns ~: Noah
Armstrong, the owner of Spokane, is q
man 66 years of age. He is one OF that
quiet kind of Robert Bonner millionaires,
who may feel like giving any sum for a
racehorse, but not over $40 for suit of
clothes. The gentleman is of strudy build,
and would to-day be hard man TO handle.
His face is not particularly striking, and,
with his gray beard and heavy cane, be
might easily be mistaken for a well-to-do
farmer. A meerschaum pipe takes the
place of cigar, ana his plug of tobacco is
returned to its pouch with as much pre-
cision as would be shown by a dude in
placing gold watch in buckskin case.
Mr.. Armstrong Is a man who has no turf
secrets and always runs his horses to win.
A long price is always procurable about
his horses, and this kind of an owner is the
owner is the one for the public to back, as
with horses of lesser quality heavier-bet-
ting owners bring their animals to the post
at a short price. Mr. Armstrong was born
in Canada, but his father was and Ameri-
can citizen, and young Armstrong came
across the border AZ the age of IA In 1872
he entered the United States army and
served in the Mexican war. afterward set
ting in the far west.
He first became interested in race horses
in 1850, when he bought of a man named
Huds0n-once the manager of the stock
farm of M. ii. Sanford, where stood
such stations as Monarchist and Vir-
giI-ten animals. One of them was
Tom Plunkett, and the horse coming good
was sold to Cassidy, of St Louis, for S.. 600,
making the nine remaining animals cost
Armstrong but $1,000.
AS Monarch turned out well, the racing
career OF the owner of Spokane has been
one OF the few wherein the passion for the
thoroughbred mas not resulted ia financial
loss Mr.. Armstrong has some peculiar
ideas Of training quite in accord with the
common sense now used in the training of
athletes His idea is to give the animal
plenty TO eat and plenty of rest: light, slow
work and the most patient handling. For
boy 70 twitch his horses mouth in a ft Of
anger is certain to work his Immediate dis
charge. In a race the whip can be used
but lightly, the spur only as reminder to
the animal, and no welts or bleeding sides
are ever seen on this owners horses. 81
claim they run as fast as they can, and no
one shall butcher them f.r me,'' is the ex-
preston OF the owner of the Kentucky and

BISMARCK, July 10.-This has been a
day of rest for the constitutional conven-
ton. An adjournment was taken from
Monday until Thursday, to allow Presi-
dent FLncher time to construct stand

strong feeling that the committees will IA

treated fairly. The one-legislative-bO body

thoughts of the delegates and will be very
thoroughly considered. Ex-Governors

WINNIPEG, July 10.-In the Burke trial
to-day counsel for the defense assailed the
evidence, which they held did not connect
the prisoner IN any manner with the muir
der of DIR. CTOniD. or show that Burke
knew Cronin or had any malice against
him. The prosecution argued that the evil
dence made a clear enough case to justify
extradition. Judge Balm held that suffi-
cient case had been made out; that while
most of the evidence is circumstaDtial. it
seemed to him that evidence giving a strong
presumption of guilt is all that is necessary

him for eXtraditiOn He therefore commit
ted Burke To jail To await extraditiOn. The
full court, he said, is now sitting. and
Rurke could be brought before them imme-
diately on application for writ of habess
corpus. Application will be made TO the
department of justice at Ottawa for extra
ditiOn, but the prisoner will be given fifteen
days grace IN which TO appeal from Judge

LONDON, July l0.-Miehsel Dsvitt ap-
pesred before the Psrnell commission
again to-day. He complained that some
body who desire TO iDiure the Irish in the
eyes Of the British public hss placed two
bogus dynamite machines within the pre-
cincts Of the court, and out of this alleged
attempt al outrage the Evening Post. OF
London, made a sensational article which
said this incident indicated the danger
which the court incurred and showed how
easily desperate enemies of England, who
recently testified before the commiss ion,
could blow up the building. Mr. Davitt in
an excited manner asserted his belief that
the affair bad been planned by Lee ron
and Houston. Justice Harmon said be un-
derstood why Dayitt should have strong
feeling in the matter, but be must take the
proper course and make inquiries to pr owe
his allegations. He himself regarded The
matter a silly hoax.

route 10 st. Louis. A reporter accompanied
the party as far as Barring crossing, and
was introduced TO KIlrain and his party.
kilrain was very sick. and from all appear
ances was badly ased up. The fact that be
was sore from ring punishment could not
be better illustrated than by noticing him
when he attempted 70 put on his coat. This
was difficult, and was not accomplished
without the assistance of Mitchell, who
carefully helped him on with il. Mitchell
was not careful enough. and when the
coat was being pulled off IL was noticed
that the pugilist fiinched as IL IN
great pain. He was finally seated and
supported by big fat pillows. His face
was discolored and resembled mahogany
more than any thing else. while his left
eye was black and blue and Just under his
right eye he wore bit of plaster in the
shape OF crescent, and that optic was
ElsO highly discOlOTed. Seeing he was suf-
fering, the reporter did not press for an IN
terview, but kilTain did say that he had
been licked. but not fairly, and intimated
that he would take the fight up TO the
sixty-sixth round at some future time. He
acknowledged that it was one of his OF
days, and said If the fight had come off the
day before he would have made better
showing. He mace no complaint, how
ever, only that he was not at his best.
