THE BROOKLYN WINNER.
Tenny Is Still in Fine Fettle for Next Satur-
DAYS Big Race.

NEW YORK, May 1s.-Tenny, the conqueror of
Prince Royal Tea Tray and Is Others in the Brook
lyn handicap, looked as fresh as daisy yesterday
afternoon at Sheepshead Bay. He had just re-
turned from an airing in company with two stable
companions, and walked through the grass as un-
concerned though Brooklyn handicaps were
everyday occurrences with him.
In his stall, stripped for rub down, the great
5-year-old was the picture of power. There is
nothing handsome about him, but there is some
thing impressive in the great, strong shoulders,
and tremendous quarters with their punches of
muscle. The swayback, and it is so pronouncedly
hollow as to be almost deformity, makes him the
most singular-looking horse in training. The
horse is as sound he was before the race which
brought his owner SO much money and not little
satisfaction. He wears bar shoe on the suspt-
cious foot, and will probably run all his races
IN one this year. its efficiency has been
the St. James Hotel stakes on Saturday
next at Gravesend and a glance at the Brooklyn
Jockey Clubs book programme shows that he may
have to meet Kingston, Prince Royal, Potomac,
Riley and Burlington. On the form he showed in
the Brooklyn, the race is virtually at Tenny's
mercy, unless Kingston is screwed up TO the top
notch. A meeting between these giants would be
intensely interesting They met in 1889, and Kings
ton won, but the race was not a true run contest,
as Tenny stepped into a hole on the upper turn and
lost considerable ground. Last season 1t was
thought that the pair would try conclusions in the
first special at the Grayesend fall meeting, but
Tenny went amiss, and Kingston had tussle with
Tournament. 1t is to be regretted that Tourna-
ment is not eligible for the st. James Hotel stakes

RAJM NOT TO RESIGN.
He Does Not Intend to Be Driven
From the Pension Office.
SECRET PLOTTINGS AGAINST HIM.
The Commissioner Says He Is the Victim
of a Conspiracy,
FORMEDTO BREAKDOWN HIS CHARACTER

WASHINGTON, May 1s-A reporter this even
ing called the attention of General Raum,
Commissioner of Pensions, to the statements
that he contemplated resigning his Office
In reply the Commissioner said: 81 have
not said it was my intention to resign, but
have said thatI could not undertake to ad-
minister so important trust as the Com
missioner of Pensions without the confidence
and support of the President and the Secre-
tary of the Interior, and 1 now say that
have too much personal regard for the
President and too great desire for the sue
cess of his administration to give him an en-
barrassment. 1 had an interview to-day
with Assistant Secretary Chandler, who is
now Acting Secretary of the Interior, and
also with Assistant Secretary Bussey. They
both expressed to me their entire satisfac-
tion with my administration and their entire
confidence with me personally"
The Commissioner then said 81 wish the
public to understand there is a coterie in
Washington some of whom are in the Pen
to break down my character as public Of
ficer and as a private citizen, and to bring
the Pension Office into public disrepute,'"
He added: 81 am not to be driven from
the Pension Office by these men. have de-
voted my best thought and energy to its or
ganization, and the bureau is at the present
time one of the most efficient working organ
iZations of the Government. While there
are few persons who should be removed
for disloyalty and inefficiency, the great
body of the Office is composed of intelligent,
industrious men and women, who are per-
forming their duties with fidelity and zeal
and without partiality or favoritism to any
one.
"We are now disposing of more than 10000
cases month, and expect to see this num-
Der considerably increased. My wish is to
see the pensions which are justly due to old
soldiers granted to them while they are liv-
ing, and believe that the old soldiers of the
country will appreciate the labor which is
now being performed in their interest in the
Office"
"Then, Mr.. Commissioner, you don't con-
template resigning at this timer" asked the
reporter.
'I do not" And the Commissioner added
that his relations with Secretary Noble were
entirely pleasant, and that there was no
quarrel between the Secretary and himself.

MANY SAILORS LOST.
The Revenue Cutter Bear Reports the Loss
ofTwo Vessels Off Alaska.

WASHINGTON, May B-Captain Shepherd,
of the Revenue Marine Bureau, to-day re-
ceived dispatch from Captain NJ. A. Healy,
commanding the revenue cutter Bear, in
which he reports the arrival of that vessel at
Seattle, Wash, to-day. The Bear went on a
mission to the West of Alaska for the De-
partmenU of Justice and Captain Healy says
it was fully and satisfactorily accomplished.
The Captain says in his telegram that the
schooners Premier and Dashing Wave were
lost about Shumagin Islands in April. He
brought down Is of the Premier's crew.
MHe says nothing about the remainder of
the Premiers crew, nor of the Dashing
Wave. 1t is supposed that they were left at
some one of the fishing stations in Alaska.
The Bear will now coal and take on board
other supplies, and probably be ready to
sail for Bering Sea about June to join the
Rush, which will precede her.

The Sentences of the Navassa Rioters Com
muted to Life Imprisonment.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The President dis
posed of the case of the Navassa rioters to-
day. His action is embodied in the following
Endorsement of the application for executive
clemency:
'1 have examined with care the papers
submitted in these cases and am not willing
that the death sentence should be executed.
The killing was as to each of the prisoners
satisfactorily established and that it was
felonfous is also clear. But the conditions
surrounding the prisoners and their fellows
were of a most peculiar character, This is
not case for pardon: the crime was very
grave one; but taking into account all of its
antecedents and incidents, have concluded
to commute the sentences to imprisonment
for life."

WARM, BUT NO RAIN.

That Is the Prediction Announced by the
Signal Service People.
With the frosts coming nightly, everybody
who has any interest in the fruit crop-and
who hasn't-has been hoping for warmer
weather and rain. Warm weather is posi-
tive necessity, and so is the rain for that
matter but there are lots of necessities that
have to be given the go-by.
That is the case this time. Last night the
Signal Service people said warm weather is
coming, in fact the advance guard is here.
But to the question as to rain, the reply was,
'nary a drop" 1t is now time for the fruit
growers and grain growers to hope for the
weather man to as usual make q mistake
and he have small-siZed deluge strike the
earth, or, at least, Allegheny county.

A SILVER PROBLEM.
Secretary Foster Is Now Confronted With a
Very Interesting One.

WASHINGTON, May 1s-An interesting ques-
tion has arisen at the Treasury Department
in connection with the present silver law,
which authorized the Secretary of the
Treasury to purchase $4,000 ounces of sill
yer each month and to issue Treasury notes
thereon. The Treasury notes thus far issued
on the bullion purchased under the act ag-
gregate S43, 900. The department coins
1900 900 standard silver dollars, and the law
says that any gain or seignorage arising from
such coinage shall be accounted for and
paid into the Treasury.
Under this law the Government has al
ready gained by seignorage $2,545OOO. The
question that now confronts the Secretary
is whether or not he can, under any circum-
stances, issue silver certificates against this
amount.

Day-The Englishman in Active Train
ing at New York.
NEW YORK, Mo 1s.-Harry Darrin, the English
professional is at the Berkey Oval training for his
match with Peter Priddy, which takes place at
Exposition Park, Pittsburg, on Decoration Day.
The race is for q, 900 a side and the three-mile
championship of the world.
A reporter visited the famous Englishman at his
training quarters yesterday. The runner and his
trainer had just returned from seven-mile spin
over the roads and hills of West Chester county,
and after a rub down and bath, Darrin talked Of
the coming contest. Frankly, he looks far from
being in condition. He has been doing some hard
work the past two weeks, but 1t does not appear
to have benefited him much. Instead Of feeling
frightened by his exercise he seemed greatly
fatigued and depressed even two hours later. He
acknowledged he was not feeling just right, you
know, " but thought that in the remaining two
weeks he might get fit. But ''fit or not' he added,
II can beat Priddy easy enough, l guess.h His
hacker shares this confident feeling. and it is just
possible that Darrin and his friends may leave their
money in the Smoky City on Memorial Day through
over confidence.
This is the view of the professional pedestrians.
While the Englishman is a wonder, 1t must not be
forgotten that Priddy is probably the fastest man
we have. When Pete Cannon, the great record
holder visited this country last year Priddy beat
him in every distance on the professional cir
cult 1t is true the great Scotchman was not in fX
but the Americans victories were of the easy Kind
which left it doubtful if Cannon, well and ft, could
have won.
