race tracks, operated only couple of
miles apart-one by George Hawkins and
the other by Ed. Corrigan- began busi-
ness, each with the avowed intention of
bankrupting the other.
The well-known determined character
of the two men, and the fact that both
have hackers with funds reaching con-
siderably above a million, adds to the
interest of the contest.
Corrlgan's track, which is at Haw-
thorne, is the farthest from town. and
struck the first blow by advertising free
admission. His place has had prelim-
mary meeting already, but closed during
the Washington Park races until to-day

NEW YORK, July 20.-Yates, in his
London special to the Tribune, says:
Contrary to the customs of time imme-
mortal, Emperor William decided that
his eldest son, while minor, should not
accept the patronage Or presidency of any
social or philanthropic association what
ever. The consequence of this decision
is that at least fifty CO. @@imentary nomi-
nations have been politely declined, and
Prince William must remain content
with the military honors bestowed on
him while still in the cradle.
Emperor William greatly admired the
display of gold plate at the State banquet
and at the State ball. but hear that he
expressed the opinion that he saw moth
ing in this line either at Windsor Castle
or at Buckingham Palace which was
finer than the silver dinner service,
which by special order of the Queen re-
gent of the Netherlands was used at the
imperial table during the stay Of the EN-
peror and Empress at Amsterdam.
This service, which would fetch at least
Sl50,000 if placed in the market, was
manufactured in London for William
and Mary, and after the Kings death was
removed to Holland. All the pieces bore
forty years ago, when they were erased
by order Of King William II. and the
Dutch Arms substituted.
The Emperor had intended to stay in
London until Tuesday, but the pace
during his visit in Holland. and England
has been too rapid, and his majesty was
SO dead beat'' that he was glad to oct
away to the solitude and repose of his
yacht on Monday night.
The favorite pastime of the Queen of
the Belgians and her daughter, who are
both staying at Ostend, is shell-hunt-
ing on the sands. One day last
week they extended the chasse aux
in order to reach home before
dark, they were compelled to stop
steam tram and take refuge in the first
compartment, which was occupied by
buxom German lady and her husband
The ire of the former being excited by
the presence of q small dog carried by
Princess ClementIne. she rOundly abused
them in German, expressed doubts as to
whether they really had taken first class
tickets, INDUCED In uncomplimentary re-
marks on their shabby attire, and finally
bounced out of the carriage with the
avowed intention of taking a cab to the
hotel so as TO avoid contamination from
such vulgar company. The Queen, who
delights in travelling incognito, was
greatly amused at the adventure.
The faithful and useful Campbell is no
longer secretary to Parnell. He could
not tolerate the eccentricities Of the
leader, and, as Parnell hates letter-writ-
ing, the duties of the secretary are now
performed by Mrs. Parnel.
O'Brien's Parliamentary career is
likely TO be brought TO an early termina-

Wanamaker'S Connection Explained

Wanamaker's Connection Explained
Colonel McClure's Denial.
PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-The Councils
committee inquiring into the affairs of
ex-City Treasurer Bardsley and the Key
stone Bank held another meeting this
afternoon. The, first witness was Samuel
r. Huey, counsel for the estate of John
c. Lucas, late President of the keystone
Bank. Huey's statement showed that the
Indebtedness of Lucas to the bank at the
time of his death in 1889 was S561, 900. and
not 81 ,000, 600, as had been printed This
Indebtedness had been, he said, settled by
the widow. Huey produced letters and
memoranda which corroborates Post
master-General Wanamaker's eXplana-
ton of his cOnnec ion with the loan of
$4,000 he had obtained for Lucas from
the Girard Trust Company, the collateral
furnished being LOCO shares of keystone
Bank stock, which the certificate book
showed had been issued in Wanamaker's
name but which that gentleman denied
having owned.
Huey said he questioned Marsh as to
the manner in which the over-issue oc-
CURED, and the latter explained that the
certificates were all genuine in that they
had been regularly taken from the certiti-
cate book and signed by the officers of
the bank, but when the stock which had
been sold was bought in for transfer and
new certificates issued, the old certificates
were not always cancelled, but were
sometimes thrown into a drawer and
used again if the occasion required, and
this doubtless was the way in which these
certificates held by Wanamaker had been
used.
"Of course" added Huey, 'sWanamaker
knew nothing of this and there was moth
ing on the certificates to indicate irregu-
larity."
Colonel Mcclure, editor of the Times,
who had been mentioned in Bardsley's
statement, positively denied Bardsley's
charges.
A resolution was adopted to hold an
other meeting on Friday and subpoena
the Presidents of banks alleged to have
paid Bardsley interest and also the
editors of the newspapers said to have
paid rebates on State advertising.

American fishing vessels by Canadian
cruiser.
The alleged seizure took place on the

1t is difficult to tell where the boundary
line is, and the American vessels had
been chased by the Dominion cruiser
Dream. Her officers claimed that the
Americans were fishing in Canadian
waters.
Eastport fishermen were fishing on the
10th as usual, when the Dream suddenly
appeared, seized seven boats, landed the
occupants on Dog Island, and towed tho
boats to st. Andrews, n. b., where they

WORLDS HARVEST.
Grave Deficit in Russia-Anxiety in
Jndia-American Crops


India-American Crops.
LONDON, July 20.-The Times summar-
ICES the harvest prospects of the world as
follows:
In Russia there is grave deficit: the
peasantry are starving and there is small
hope for relief.
In India there is serious anxiety, and
famine prevails over a considerable por-
ton of the country. Madras, Raiputana
and the Punjaub are the worst sufferers.
There is drought in Bengal and the need
of more rain is urgent. Bombay alone
promises good harvest
The American harvest will be good in
quality and amount, but with the failure
of the Indian and Russian supplies it is of
the utmost importance that the English
crop should not be short. The prospect
on the whole is good. In the chief wheat
counties Of Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk
the crop is above the average, and in
other counties up TO the average. The
harvest viii be late and the prices high.
There is consequently good outlook for
tile English farmer to break long series
of disastrous years.

EUROPEAN DISARMAMENT.
a Conversation Between Salisbury and
Emperor William.

Emperor William.
PARIS, July 20.-Le Figaro has an arti-
Gle on Emperor William. During the
| first eight days of his visit to England,
says the writer, there was no question
whatever OF politics, but on Monday
evening, at Hatfield, all was changed.
Early on that day the Emperor took a
long ride with Edward Malet, British
Embassador at Berlin. AT O'Clock he
entered the Cabinet of Lord Salisbury
and remained there until 9:45 o'clock. It
is now certain the Emperor and the
statesman talked of European disarma-
ment, and that William pronounced the
following sentence: Germany cannot
go on forever arming, arming, arming."
TO this Lord Salisbury replied: ''It is
only powerful ruler like your majesty
that is able to set the example in such a
situation.n
The Emperor was made to realize that
England could never enter into any
foreign engagements without the consent
of the House of Commons, and his
majesty subsequently remarked to one
of the intimate friends of his youth that
England's policy and diplomacy were too
slippery for him to rest upon with any
assurance of firm support.

Goddard had the advantage throughout

evidently determined to win.
Goddard pursued his usual tactics of
rushing, and although Choynski was on

work, and the fight was savage from the

ChoynskPs science stood him in hand

heavy, however, did not phase Goddard.

round he had good many sympathizers
