A FALSE ALARM.
AMERICAN WARSHIPS NOT THREAT
ENING PORTUGAL,
The Rumor That Fleet Was to Proceed
to Lisbon and Demand Settlement of
the Dslagoa Bay Claims Denied.

LISBON, Oct. 1S.-The Commerce. Do
Portugal publishes letter from Berne,
declaring that fleet of American war
ships will arrive at Lisbon shortly for
the purpose of demanding the payment
of claims made by the United States for
damages arising from the seizure by
Portugal of the Delagoa Bay railway
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-General Batch
eller, United States minister to Portugal,
after reading the London dispatch about
the Delagoa bay claim, said the matter
was before board of arbitration, and
until the board reached conclusion no
action would be taken by the United
States.
The assistant secretary of the navy
said this afternoon, there is not word
of truth in the report that Heet of
American war ships had been ordered
to Lisbon to enforce the payment of the
Delagoa Bay railway claims, or for any
other purpose. 1t is probable the
cruiser Baltimore, now in northern Eu-
ropean waters, will visit Lisbon, but no
significance is attached to this.

Disagree as to straight-Away Trotting-
Sunols Possibilities.
NEW York, Oct. 18.-Bonner does not
like Baldwin's statement that Maud S
and Jay-Eye-See would stand no show in
trotting on straight mile course, and
that the record would be lowered to two
minutes. He says: "The public pat
ronize trotting races to see horses trot,
and with mile straight away very little
could be seen."
"Will you send Sunol for record if
the proposed track is perfect?"
II am opposed to straightaway tracks,
both for runners and trotters. The oval
track is the only one for horse-racing,
and record made on straightaway or
fkite-shaped track is valueless. In my
Aopinion Sunol is a wonderfully long
'strider, and this straightaway would be
Just the thing for her."
i Bonner does not believe a trotter
will ever fairly travel two minute
mile. He says: '"That's nonsense.
The fastest trotter in the world
barring none-is this tilly sunol. Why
look at her. She is only baby just
:..ee%w Yet ct enlyy enlyy ttwwe herses-Maud s
and Jay-Eye-See-have trotted better.
With everything turning out favorably,
she may get down to 2:05 or 2:O7. It
may be 2:04, but that is the limit of a
trotter's speed.

The emperor will open the lantag in
person on November 11th. The en-
peror desires the passage of measure
for the reduction of the prices of articles
of food and the tent of dwellings for the
working-classes Her Won Maybach,
minister of public works, who was
charged with the operation of the
bill providing for the erection of
dwellings for workingmen in ev-
cry populous center, has secured
imperial censure because of the incom-
plete condition of his proposals. 1t is
the opinion in official circles that the
trouble is due to restraints placed upon
Maybach by the minister of finance.
The emperor had grand scheme, but
Minister Won Maybach, on consulting
with MIGUEL, the Prussian min
lister of finance, found that there
were obstacles to the investing
of more than 100000 marks in build
ing small tenements in the suburbs.
This incident applies to the general po-
sition of thr government in regard to
schemes for costly social reforms and
accompanying projects for abolition of
duties on cattle and grain be-
tween Italy, Austria and Germany,
and leaves the budget of the future
in dense fog. MIGUEL insists that the
government should proceed with the
greatest caution. Miquel's policy i'm
plies waiting to see what effect the new
United States tariff will have upon come
sources of German prosperity before
committing the country to long tariff
treaties in any direction.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18.-Modern sur
gerry achieved a notable triumph at the
Philadelphia hospital when C@sarian
operation was performed by DR.. William
E. Ashton, obstetrician at the institu-
ton, yesterday, which will 60 on record
as remarkable incident of modern
science. The patient was young col

child and mother were saved, and are
expected to recover. DR.. Ashton was
assisted by Professor Hirst, obstetrician
of the University of Pennsyl-
vania; Professor Montgomery, Miss
Smith, chief nurse at the Phila-
delphia hospital, and her aids,
Miss McClevey and Miss Burkhemer.
DIR. Ashton finished the operation in the
remarkably short time of twenty-one
minutes and thirty seconds. The child,
female, has been placed in an incu-
bator, curious contriyance resembling
very much in appearance child's bath

on each side for holding hot water, and
compartment in the middle for the

driven by John Goldsmith, accom-
panied by running teaser, piloted by
Mcdowell, was sent to beat the Pacific
coast stallion record (2:124) held by
himself. The horse was in the best
possible form, and in warming up
showed magnificent stride. When he
got the word a dozen watches chronicled
the fact, and as the quarter was checked
1881 seconds) to the half the great
horse went like clockwork in 1:06N.
At the three-quarter he had not slack
ened his pace, the watches showing
:39M. Down the stretch he came
urged to the utmost speed by the cries
of the driver, passing under the wire
amid storm of cheers. When the
judges announced the time I2:111s) the
assembled populace went wild, and an
other hearty cheer rent the air. Stam-
boul finished very strong, making the
last quarter in 81 seconds.
The Yearling Record Broken.
McCorbitt's yearling colt, Freedom,
driven by Goldsmith, Mcdowell accom-

the yearling stallion record (2:35.) The
little fellow after getting the word, went
round the track without skip, under
the drivers skillful pilotage, not only
beating the yearling stallion record. but
smashing Norlaine's yearling record.
The time by quarters was .37Ha, 1:17Ta,
/ :55 and 2:29A. When the time was
given out, there was another scene, OF
excitement, yelling and cheering; hats
were thrown in Che air and perfect
pandemonium reigned.
Hazel Wilkes had walk-over in the
free-for-all trot. She SIMPLY logged a
mile.
Wanda, driven by William Virget,

LAST SAD RITES.
Justice Miller Laid to Rest at KeOkuk,
iowa.

KEoKUK, Iowa, Oct. 18.-A committee
of citizens met the body of Justice Mil
Ter at Burlington and conducted it to
Keokuk, arriving at 8 O'Clock this morn
ing. At the depot the honorary pail
bearers and various committees took the
body in charge, and it was escorted by
the Second Regiment Iowa National
Guard, Terrence Post G. A. R., the
guard of honor and several thousand cit
liens. The body was borne to the fed
eral building, which had been elabor-
ately draped in mourning. The casket
was conveyed to the courtroom, in which
the dead justice frequently presided, and
placed upon a handsome catafalque.
The face of the beloved jurist was ex-
posed to view. and during the few hours
the body lay in state it was viewed by
several thousand people.
At two O'Clock funeral services were
held at the Unitarian church, of which
deceased had been a member. The
church was entirely inadequate to ac-
commodate even small portion of the
crowd about it long before the doors were
opened. The funeral procession, headed
by the clergymen, moved up the central
aisle, followed by the pall-bearers bear
ing the casket. In few minutes the
family entered with Chief Justice
Fuller, members of the state supreme
court, and various bar delegations.
There were many handsome floral trib-
utes. The burial service was read by
Pastor Hassall, prayer was offered
by Rev. McIlwain, and sermon was
preached by Rev. Hassall.
The funeral procession to Oakland
cemetery was the largest ever seen here,
including officials and court dignitaries,
military and civic societies, the frede-
partment and citizens. The hearse was
drawn by four black horses. The SER
vices at the grave were very simple.
Public and private buildings were
draped in black. A high wind during
the early morning destroyed many of the
decorations. Besides the distinguished
gentlemen who accompanied the re-
mains from Washington, many others
assembled here to pay their last tribute
of respect. The supreme court of the
state was represented, and large delega-
tions attended from all the states in
cluded in the circuit presided over by
the dead justice.

THE CRESCENT CITY CRIME.
The Committee Of Fifty Ferreting Out
the Assassins.

The Committee Of Fifty Ferreting Out
the Assassins.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 18.-The meeting
OF the committee of fifty tonight was
secret, but the committee announced
that it would pursue the investigation
to the end, bring the murderers of Hen
messy to justice and break up the
Italian assassination leagues in this city.
A thousand dollars was raised on the
spot, and by next week, the committee
expects to have $4,000 to assist in
the work. One of the facts stated
was that the ship Elysia is COM
ing up next week with 700 Italian
emigrants on board. The mayor inter-
viewed the custom house authorities,
and as result they will 60 down and
meet the ship. Unless the emigrants
can satisfy the officers that they are de-
sirable financially and morally they will
not be allowed to land. Joe Macheca,
who was arrested today, has heretofore
been considered q prominent italian
above the murderous plots of his more
ignorant fellow-countrymen. Since his
arrest some damaging evidence
has been developed. The ladies
owning the shanty where the assassins
are supposed to have plotted and gath
cred, identified Macheca as the man
who rented the place from them, and
paid months rent in advance. Sew
eral parties also say they followed Ma
checa on the night of the murder. He
and the Matrangas, also supposed to
be the leaders in the affair, were eating
a big supper while the shooting was go
ing on. They remained until 8 O'Clock
in the morning, having good time, and
when they parted Macheca is alleged to
have said: "Boys, I've done all can !;
Pm only sorry he was not killed at the
first fire."

Something OF q stir has been created in
Wisconsin over a recent decision of the
Supreme Court OF that state, in which that
tribunal has sustained objections to the
constitutionality of reading the Bible in
the public schools, on the ground that it is
"sectarian." The clause of the constitu-
ton which was invoked guarantees to every
person "the right to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of his own conscience"
and provides that no "sectarian ins,ruc.
ton" shall be allowed in the public schools.
The court holds that the Bible contains
doctrinal passages which form the ground
work Of one and another sect; that it con-
tains what is claimed to be the only
groundwork of many sects; that there are
different versions of the Bible which one
and another sect believe to be the only au-
thentic version, or the reverse; and there
fsre that the reading of the Bible in the
public schools must fall within the pro-
scribed rule of "sectaran instruction" In
a voluminous pamphlet DR.. McAtee, of
Madison. has vigorously assailed the de-
cision.
