Realization stakes for three-year-olds at
mile and five furlongS, worth to win
ner nearly $4,000. Strathmeath, on the
strength of his recent Americen Derby
victory at Chicago, was an overwhelm-
ing favorlte, but after running in the
front rank until the stretch was
reached, was passed by both Potomac
and Montana. These two had battle
royal the last furlong, and by
the most skillful and hardest
kind of riding Hamilton landed Potomac

other stake feature was the second half
of the Double event. His Highness,
the winner of the first part, was strong
favOrite. but at the end he had to give
way to Victory, the second choice in the

Montana in the order named. They ran
i'll this order down the stretch, and
going by the stand Strathmeath was
leading by neck from Hoodlum, with
Westchester next, then Warpath, Mon
tana and Potomac. There was no change
until the back stretch was reached. when
Westchester had enough and gave way
to Warpath, but otherwise there was no
change. Warpath went up to Strath-
meath nearing the turn, and the two
raced neck and neck to the head of the
stretch, with Potomac close behind and
Montana trailing. Potomac went to the
front when they Strengthened out, and
was joined by Montana, who came
through on the inside. These two drew
away from the others. The finish was
hot one, and, amid tremendous cheer
ing, Potomac won by a nose from Mon
tana, who beat Strathmeath four lengths.

theft of one thousand dollar check
from the office of q. A. Newkirk. state
agent of the Mutual Benefit Life ms

After her recapture she made full
confession to the detective. Her con-

brother of the insurance agent. She
throws the whole blame on him, and
says that he forged his brothers. name
to the check, and then induced her to
deposit the check, afterwards drawing
the money from the bank. 1t was
through her love for Ncwkirk, she says,
that she consented tothe crime, and it
was to shield him from disgrace that
she attempted suicide by jumping from
the train. NewkIrk was arrested and

BRICE AND THE CLUBS.
The National Chairman Talks of
Democratic Prospects.


New YORK. July 1.-Senator Calvin
S. Brice, chairman of the National
Democratic committee, has written a
letter of warning and advice to his fell
low-members of the national committee.
The letter embOdies advice in regard to
the association of Democratic clubs and
the necessity of the national committee
cooperating Withothem. Senator Brice
begins with the statement that the
presidential contest is near at hand;
that the Republicans are rapidly prepar-
ing for it,and that the Democrats cannot
be too circumSpect, or too swift in ar
ranging to meet them. The plan of
campaign of the Republicans, he says.
is a colossal system of clubs, to be
maintained and supported by unlimited
means drawn from the pockets of the
beneficiaries of the monopoly policy.
This system. he urges, can only be met
by an equally extensive system of vol
untary Democratic clubs-that is, asso-
Citations of the people in their several
neighborhoodS for the defense of their
rights and interests against those who
are banded to aSsail them.
Mr.. Price says that the truly Demo
cratic club has ever been the friend of
liberty, The tendency at this time
of the people of the United
States to enroll themselves together
in neighborhood organizations of this
character, is one of the signs of the po.
litical perils which confront them. He
thinks that the approaching struggle is
to be one mainly between clubs, and it
is greatly to be desired that uniform
and perfected system of Democratic So
cieties, thoroughly organized, and in
intimate association with each other,
shall be established before the begin
mng of next year. He has examined the
plan of organizing now III process of
successful accomplishment by the Ma
tional Association of Democratic Clubs,
and he feels it the duty of every men,
Der of the national executive committee
to cooperate with the association to the
fullest extent. The work undertaken
by the executive committee of the clubs
is absolutely necessary to be done, i'll
Mr.. Brice's opinion. and, i'll his letter.
he states that an opportunity is now
presented of having it accomplished by
an efficient instrument at minimum
cost, ard that distributed over so many
localities as not to be burden to any
one committee.
Mr.. Brlce concludes his letter as fol-
lows: IAN important feature of the
plan is the selection of correspondents
IN the central states. This now requires
urgent attention in your state. | would,
therefore, ask you to confer with the
chairman of your state committee, as
soon as may be convenient. and arrange
this particular part of the plan; also,
that you will do all in your power to fa
cilitate the organization in other ways
that you may think best" The national
officers of the National Association of
Democratic clubs are highly gratified
with the recognition accorded it by
Chairman Brice. Heretofore there has
occasionally been some misunderstand-
ing between the association and the
various state committees. This differ
ence is now explained away, and there
is every indication of harmonious CO.
nnaratinn.

FASTENING THE CRISIS.
The Situation in The Washington
Mines is Serious.

FRANKLIN, Wash, July 1.-Yester-
day was day of quiet and mourning
in the camp of the strikers. The funer-

occupied nearly the entire day, services
being held here in the morning
and interment being at Black
Diamond, four miles distant, in the
afternoon. Every white miner

on either side. Reports from New
castle, Black Diamond and Gilman lead
the authorities to fear more trouble be-
fore long. There are now nearly 200
negross at work at Newcastle, the num-
Der taken there Sunday having been
quietly augmented since. The strikers
have done nothing yet, but are reported
to be making secret preparations for
some decisive move. \ special train is

At Black Diamond, when the miners
first struck, six weeks ago, it was not
because of any dissatisfaction with the
Black Diamond Coal company, but be-
cause of sympathy with the miners who
had been driven out by the negroes
taken into Franklin by the Oregon I'M
provement company, and it was sup
posed the men would return to work as
soon as matters cooled down. A week
ago the miners agreed to return to work
upon the old terms, but yesterday they
notified the superintendent that, if they
returned, the miners union must have

men. This the superintendent refused
to accede to, and Immediately posted
notice that any white man who should
want work could secure it whether he
