CAPT. SAUNDERS DEAD.
The Excitement of Rescue
Proved Too Great.


LONDON, July 29.-Capt. Saunders, Of
the new American ''whaleback'' steam
er, Charles Wetmore, died suddenly at
Liverpool this morning. He was found
lyingi down in his booth when the
officers of the steamer entered his state
room at an early hour. The Wetmore
was to have sailed for New York with
cargo of machinery to-day, but her de-
parture will now be postponed until
new captain has been appointed. Dur
ing her stay in Liverpool the vessel has
been visited by many experts in the
art of navigation and many thou
sands of merely curious. She was eS
pecially designed to carry large cargOes
of freight through the great lakes and
across the Atlantic, thus doing away
with the necessity for breaking bulk be-
tween Liverpool and Western cities sit
uated Oh the island seas of America.
Her voyage from Duluth to Liverpool
with a consignment of $4,000 bushels of
grain was a successful one, and her of
ficers declared that in heavy seas the
steamer was much superior to the Or
dinary freight boats.
An investigation has been made into
the cause of the death of Capt. Saunders,
and has revealed that he was a sufferer
from heart disease and had been under
medical treatment for that malady for
some time past. At noon, yesterday, a
man who was about the dock at which
the Wetmore was lying, fell into the
water and was rescued from drowning
by Capt. Saunders. The eXertion thus
entalled caused the captain to become
greatly excited, and during the whole of
yesterday evening he showed the effects
of his successful attempt to save a hu-
man life.
Special to the Globe.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, July 29.-The
death of Capt. Saunders, of the whale
back Wetmore, at Liverpool, caused
something of sensation in the general
offices of the Steel Barge company here,
but no change will be made in the it
inerary of the vessel. The captains
orders when he lett her dock here were
to proceed to Liverpool, thence to New
York, thence to Rio de Janeiro, around
Cape Horn to Valparaiso and Callao,
and finally to Tacoma. The command
will devolve now on Capt. Hastings,
who was originally engaged to COM
mand the Wctm0re, but who was super
seded by Capt. Saunders at Montreal.
and who remained as first officer.

AN AMERICAN VIEW.
Insurgents Alleged to be Hostile
to Uncle Sam.


WASHINGTON, July "a private
letter, which was received here yester-
day from a Washington gentleman
travelling on the west coast of South
America contains the following con-
cerning the war in Chill: II will add
a line in regard to the political situa-
ton, which l think is of great impor-
tance to us Americans. Heretofore l
have not dared to write fully. owing to
the opening of ali letters in lquique.
The long letter that l sent you was in

despatch from Callao by the cap
tain of this German steamer. All said
in the long letter has been confirmed
by the recent attitude to Mr.. Egan, he
using his good offices for the release of
political prisoners where all others had
failed. The opposition is dependent ell
tirely upon Bolivia and the United
States for provisions.

thought we'll of, and Eli had DO lack of
friends.
Morris got away first and showed
lead past the grand stand, with Eli
second and Kingman last tapping.
From this up to the finishing
stretch it would not strain any
ones descriptive powers to narrate
the story. There was little
variety to spice it, although the specta-
tors were held in breathless expectancy.
1t was not hot pace. All rode easy,
each jockey evidently waiting for bid
from the other two. They didn't get it
until the stretch. however. 1t became
painfully manifest to those who had
placed their money against Kingman,
because of his recent Indifference or in
ability, that the others were not in it.
He was riding with the greatest ease,
while Morris and Eli were extending
themselves. Norris colors showed first
into the stretch, with Eli well up and
Kingman coming like the wind. The
noble Kentuckian had everything his
own way. and Fishburn never raised his

VICUNA'S ELECTION.
He Is Balmaceda's Tool---The In
suPgent View.

NEW YORK, July 29.-The Herald
prints the following dispatch from Val
paraiso: The electoral college of the
Chilian government, representing all
the provinces under control of Balmac-
ceda. assembled on July 25 and unani-
mOusly elected Claudia Vicuna his sue
ceSSOr as president of the republic.
This is simply the confirmation Of the
popular vote of June 27, when Vicuna
was chosen as the new chief magis@
trate of the country. Vicuna IS
Balmaceda's own choice as his
whatever policy Bamaceda should wish.
sothat there is very slight consolation
for the insurgents in his election. He
will take Office Sept. Is next. The term
of Office is five years, and the salary is
$4,000 year. He will have the NAM
ing of five ministers and five of the fifty
five members of the council of state.
That trouble is looked for at COquimbo
within a short time is evidenced, not
only by the fact of the masSing of 10000
to 1900 government troops at that port
and the sending of the Balmaceda fleet
north some days since, but also by the
news that the American, English, Ger
man and French squadr0ns are now as
Sembling in COquiInbo bay to see that
the rights of the citizens of their re-
spective countries are not infringed
upon. -
PARIS, July 29.-The Chilian congress
siOnal party have issued a statement to
the effect that the election of VIcuna as
president of Chill is null and void for
several reasons: Because as president
of the cabinet he organized a coup

constitution; because the election was
not carried out in conformity with the
law relating to elections; because only

WITHOUT AN EFFORT.
CataIpa Wins the First Race =
Pretty Fight for Place.


Pretty Fight for Place.
The track was in a wretched condi-
ton, and it was conceded that pluck
was fully as essential as speed in the
winning elements The weather was
favorable 10 good execution, however,
and the time was quite fast, taking
into consideration the frightfully slow
track. The first race, mile event,
was little late in getting off, TO the
qualification of those who took the last
train, else they could not have wit
messed it.
Harry Ray showed the way from the
post by a Slight advantage over Red
Sign, who was already under whip at
the wire. Then came Catalpa galloping
easily, with Louise NJ by his side and
almost up. Louise NJ took the bit at
the turn, and then set the pace down
around and along the back stretch. She
gallOped along so easily that the others
exhibited signs of uneasineSS. Harry
Ray was short length better than Ca
talpa around the first turn and into the
back stretch, and here DOllikens came
up with a rush. She has been looked
upon as a sure winner of something in
the meeting, and it was right here when
II began to look as II she had the best
of the show. She shot past Catalpa,
who was next to the faVOrite III the
betting, and was well up with
Harry Ray secOnd.at the three-quarters,
Louise NJ still showed the way when
they came into the stretch, with Ca
talpa second. and coming with tre-
mendous strides. Half way down, and
she had the race won, and Freeman
brought her down without an effort;
but il was an exciting struggle between
Harry Ray and Louise NJ. They were
on even terms, and both under whip
and spur. but Louise gave up the fihgt
and Harry took the place by two
lengths to the good. and DOllikinS fin
ished well up to Louise.

TO-DAY'S CARD.

There was some difficulty in starting
to-day's races. A maiden race has been
planned. but last night it was found
that the ambitious youngsters who had
been nominated for the event were
looking for bigger money soon in the
East. They did not care to start and
win, because such an occurrence would
bar them from $4,000 purse in August.
Consequently, this race was declared
off last night. and the same purse. S400,
will be hung up for a five furlOng race,
the entries to close at the track at 9
O'clock this morning.
The fifth race will likewise prove a
surprise, because no one will know
what horses will start. 1t was to have
been mile and furlOng struggle for
a purse of $500, but several of the nomi-
nations were scratched because they
appear in other features of the day, or
else they were not thought to be right"
by their owners. In lieu of this event,a
selling race will be given-One mile
and the entries will close at 9 O'Clock on
the track. This promises to be prove
great race, for several of the best will
enter. The other entries are:

SAN FRANCISCO, July 90 The

with cargo of nitrate, which she found

although long shot contributed to the
sensation. 1t was a great days racing
at Hamline Yesterday. There were two
feature events and one race in which
the poorer horses had no show. The
day was all that could be desired, but
the track was heavy. This latter fact
lent a mOiety of interest to the strug-
giles. 1t tclOthed the results more with
doubt \ volume could be written con-

scarcely as lively as it has been on some
of the previous days, although important
sums were placed on the two great
events of the day.

no disappointment to those who had
anticipated a grand struggle. There
were Newton, Minnie l., W 3, Lena
Frey and Judge Hughes in it, and it
was truly a thrilling event. The book
makers were impressed with the idea
that Newton had long way the best
show to carry off the stakes, which were
worth S400 10 the winner, bat the talent
differed very materially, and the result
shows that their Judgment was best.

W B. The latter was not at himself
and he made wretchtd showing. Lena
Frey took the place handily, running
next to Minnie l..
When the bugle called Kingman, W
G Morris and Eli to the post the climax
was reached. Morris has grand achieve
ments 10 his credit as a twO-year-Old, as
a three-year- old and again as a four
year-old, and many good dollar went
into the pockets of the bookmakers be-
cause he was unable TO exhibit his quail
tiles. There Is no suspicion about the
race. for Freeman sent the spurs into
Morris fIanks without mercy. He sim
ply could not run one or two.
The heat race was spicy event,
favored with anOmOlIeS enough for the
day. Billy Pinkertcn played his usual
tattO Oh the sides of his rivals with his
heels and Stickler, a pretty animal, who
apparently cannot run very fast, but
who can give a taking exhibition, ran
away with Magnussen from the post
twice. He would not come back, and
the little Jock was obliged to let him
take the mile each time.

MINNIE L TAKES ONE.
She Has a Soft Snap in the Mer-

The Merchants Hotel free handicap
was ticketed as one of the features, and
it was no disappointment, save to those
who backed the wrong horses. Newton
was the favorite at even money to win
and to for the place, while Minnie l.
was thought to be good thing to win.
Lena Frey became the tip before the
horses were sent to the post. The odds
were great and some played straight
and place, - to l and to /, respectively.
Judge Hughes was esteemed a good
thing by a great many, and he was
played strong for place at to l.
Judge Hughes took the lead at the
post, with Newton well up and Minnie
l. tapping. At the quarter Parkinson
brought the handsome brown tilly TO the
front as gracefully and easily as if at
play. Lena Frey came up fast and took
after MinnIe's gliStening, steel-bOund
heels, and Newton was crowded out of
second place by a half-length. Minnie
l. had no trouble in widening her open
ing to two lengths, and then into the
stretch she showed four lengths ahead

others. Minnie l. come in gallOping,
