MANY SURPRISES At BALTIMORE

Way of GOOD Thlnga.


BALTIMORE, May 1O.--This was tho first
favorable day for the meeting at the Gentle
mans Driving Park tho course having dried
completely, SO that the footing was better
suited to the trotters and PAGERS.
The weather seemed settled at last, and
there were twice as many spectators as on the
two preceding days. The sensation OF the
afternoon was the defeat OF the young mare
Suisun by the local trotter Richard Wilkes
and the only thing that saved tho hackers Of
Turner's entry from losing more was the
tlmldity OF the short-end buyers, even after
she had lost two heats. The half-mie
track did not, suit the fast mare. and
old gelding was too fast for him. II was battle
between the Electioneer and wilkes families.
Richard Wilkes is ii Years old and has record

Turner tried to 10 u little faster sho

California trotter was sent after her stout op-

Some Army Facts.

From the New York Star.
1.-The nomination of General Nelson
A. Miles to succeed the late General
Crook as major general is one of the
| most commendable that could be
made
The speaker, General Fred. A.
Starring, of Washington, was one of
the most distinguished of the vOlun-
teer soldiers of the west during the
civil war.
THE change caused by General
Crooks death,n said General Star
ring, as he talked in the Hoffman
house last night, has called atten-
vealed the Army Register. For
instance, isn't it rather strange
that there is not a general officer
of the regular army credited to the
west and south? 1t is fact, how
ever, that not man in the grade of
general was born south of Ohio or
west OF the Mississippi. OF the major
generals, John NJ. Schoficld was born
in New York, Oliver .. Howard is a
native of Maine, and Nelson A. Miles
first saw the light in Massachusetts
OF the brigadier generals. David 5
Stanley comes from Ohio, John Glib
bon and John r. Brooks were born in
Pennsylva and Thomas H. Ruger
and Wesley Merritt in New York.
Miles and Brooke are the only
two officers in the grade of general
who did not graduate at West
Point. Merritt won mis- chief distinc-
ton as a cavalryman, and all the
others commanded infantry during
the war, though SchOfeld made some
reputation as an artillery officer.
The most favored arm of the service
the engineer core-has not represen-
tative in the general officers
of the line. Since the organi-
zation of the army it has
been commanded by fifteen gen
erals-in-chief, of whom four were ma
tives of Pennsylvania. two of Massa-
chusetts, two of Virginia, three Of
Ohio and one each of Maryland +,
Michigan, New York and Scotland.
General Scott commanded the army
for the longest time, his service as
commander-in-chie being twenty

London Shoemakcrs' Troubles.

London ShOemakcrs' Troubles.
From the Boston Herald.
Twenty thousand of the shOemakers
OF London have entered on strike
not for higher wages nor for lessen
ed number of hours in a days SER
vices, but to compel their employers
to do away with the system of outside
work. 1t seems strange in this cOun-
try, where experience has appar-
emily demonstrated the economy
of factory work, that in Eng
land, and particularly in Lon
don, the making of boots and shoes
should be carried on very largely out
side of factories, properly so called.
Yet not only is this the case, but the
sweating system,n the bidding for
contracts and subcontracts, is carried
to such an extent that the boot and
shoe operatives who have worked
either in their own homes or in the
shop of some subcontractOr are ground
down to starvation wages. 1t is this
against which they protest; that is,
the division of prOtits-which might
be sufficient if there were only the
manufacturers and the Operative to
divide them by-between a horde,
and an exceedingly large horde at
that, of middlemen, who have be-
come the leeches in number Of inn
portant manufacturing industries.
1t would probably be found if a
careful analysis could be made, that
the labor cost of manufacturing sho, s
in one of our American factories, sup
piled with all of the modern mechani-
cal devices, was very much less than
the labor cost of manufacturing shoes
under the London sweating system,
although each operative in the United
States might receive five or SIX times
as much money for his days services
as was paid to the average operative
by the sweating masters i'll the Fog
lish capital.
