a TURF WAR,

CHICAGO, July 20-The merry war Sc
eargerly awaited in Chicago turf circles
opened today in earnest. Two rival race
tracks, operated only few miles apart
one by George Hankins and the other by
Ed. Corrigan-began business, each with
the avowed intention of bankrupting the
other. The well known determined char
acter of the two men, and the fact that
both have hackers with funds reaching a
considerable million mark. added to the
interest of the contest. COrrigan's s track,
which is at Hawthorne struck the first blow
by advertising free admission. Hanllins'
track is situated at Garfield park, and oc-
cupies Corrigan's old grounds, the famous
west side track.
According to the Inter Ocean 5000 per-
sons attended the Garfield park races.
The winners were Lakeview, Molliet, Top
gallant, Farine, Ray and Borealis.
At Hawthorne, the Inter Ocean says,
$500 people were present. The winners
were Fred Taral, Silver Lark, G.. L. Brown,
Blaze, Duke, Allan BaIny.

CHICAGO RAIL WAY SOUABBLES.

CHICAGO. July 90 The action of the
Western Passenger association in acting
upon rates for number of state fairs, ex-
positions and other gatherings has called
out another sharp letter from General
Passenger Agent Charlton, of the Alton.
Having been officially notified of the es-
tablishmeDt of these rates at the meeting
last Friday, Charlton replied to Chairman
Finley today, saying:
Your association has passed on these
questions without consultation with us
and without obtaining our rate, regardless
of our wishes and interests. In all cases
in which you take action without permit
ting us to have voice, we must decline to
be bound by your action. We do
not purpose acting independently of
our competitors, but that involves that
our competitors shall not act indepen-
IDENTIFY of us. We do not intend that you
or your association shall dictate TO us now.
and hereafter when you advise us of action
that you have taken Independently of the
Chicago and Alton you must not expect
any reply. 1t is not our purpose TO take
orders as to what our rates and arrange
ments shall be. We expect to be treated
with courtesy and on perfect footing of
equality, otherwise we shall make rates
and arrangements to suit ourselves, inde-
peRGently of you and your association"
At a special meeting of the east bound
passenger committee of the Central Traf-
of affairs was developed. Last Thursday
the Erie laid before the chairman state
ment showing that tickets are on sale
III brokers' offices here to eastern points at
from 81 to 81 below the tariff Agents
were sent ont TO test the report, the result
being the purchase of eight tickets, Boston
and Maine issue, Chicago to Boston; six
of the Fitchburg issue Chicago to Boston,
and one each of the Baltimore and Ohio,
aud the Lackawanna, Chicago to New
York. Today the Erie informed the chair
man that unless something was done
promptly to stop the sale of these manipu-
lated tickets the Erie would meet the
scalpers' rates. II is alleged that the New
England roads have been keeping the
brokers supplied with tickets for some
time. Immediate steps will be taken to
avert decentralization of east bound rates.
AS is usual at this time of the year,
good deal of trouble is being caused by
excursion rates The Chicago and Ohio
river traffic associaiIOn is greatly disturbed
because an outside competition has an
nounced rate of 50 from indianapolis to
Chicago and return. The Big Four was
authorized to meet the rate, and it is now
expected that further cuts will be made.
Grand Army rates are almost certain to 20
TO pieces. Some of the lines in the terri
tory of the Ohio river traffic association
have already given it out that they will
make a rate of one cent per mile, and it
will be strange if this does not lead to a
general abandonment of rates
MINNEAPOLIs, MINI, July 90. - The
rumor that president Finney of ''Soo'' and
South shore roads would resign at the
annual meeting tomorrow is confirmed !
Finney's reason for resigning is pressure
of private business.

COI0 EXPORTS

NEW YORK, July 2O.-The Post today
says: at is asserted on good authority
that the bank of France is at present prac-
tically refusing payment of checks in
gold. This policy is due to its own wish
to anticipate or prevent a general hoard
ing of the precious metal by private hold
ers. The step would not be unusual, for
the tendency of the French people in this
direction has always been marked. The
assertion is rendered the more plausible
from the fact that for nearly a month the
weekly statement of the Bank of France
have shown net less on the silver bal
ance, coincidentally with gain in gold.
On this theory past and recent
shipments of gold to France
have nothing whatever to do with
the foreign exchange market. So long as
the bankers acting for the Bank of France
have French credits on which 10 draw
against this country-aGd they are not yet
exhausted-the transaction would amount
simply to the sale of silver against pur-
chases of gold. OF course these would be
loss in the transactions; but if the situa-
tion were regarded as critical, the institu
tion would certainly not stop for that.
along with this curious condition of
affairs in Paris has come the steady and
rapid marking up of the street rate on
time money in London. Today both short
and three months bills were quoted at 2Y
per cent, or on par with the official mini
mum discount rate of the Bank of Eng
land This is an advance of more than l
per cent. within week, and probably fore
shadows an early advance in The bank
rate. The peculiar situation in relation to
the gold supply is responsible for this"

A Sure Thing.

There is a charming young widow in
South Minneapolis who retains five-year
old girl as the only pledge of her dear de-
parted The little one has just begun tc
learn her alphabet. A gentleman called
upon the widow the other evening. OF
course the fond mother wanted to show off
her child. Taking up a newspaper and
pointing to the big letters in an advertise

"What letter is that?"
"a" responded the child.
"What comes after App ss-s.-
"B."
"And what comes next?"
&C." lisped the little one
The inquiry was pursued st. further,
but along toward the end of the alphabet
She little girl lost her bearings and never
answered a question. Finally the gentle
man thought he would put a few ques-

The child looked him straight in the eyes

THE KEYSTONE BANK.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20-The councils
committee that is inquiring into the af-
fairs of ex-City Treasurer Bardsley and
the wrecked keystone bank held a meet
ing this afternoon. The report of the COM
mittee of experts was presented This re-
port has been already published in these
dispatches.
Samuel B. Huev, counsel for the estate
of the late president of the keystone bank,
read a statement of his knowledge of
Lucas Indebtedness TO the keystone bank
He eproduced letters that corrobCrateG Post
master General Wanamaker's statement
of his connection with the loan of $40 600
which the latter obtained for Lucas use
collateral furnished being one thousand
shares of keystone stock, which had been
charged on the book stubs to Wannama-
Rer.
Mr.. Huey said that be questioned Marsh
as TO the manner in which the overissue
occurred, and the latter replied: "The
certificates were all genuine, in that they
have been regularly taken from the GER
tlficate book and signed by the officers of
the bank, but the stock which has been
sold was brought in for transfer, and new
certificates were issued. The old certifi-
Gates were not always cancelled, but were
sometimes thrown into the drawer and
used again If occasion required, and that
is doubtless the way in which these certifi-
Gates held by Wanamaker have been used.
vi course, ne auu6Q, w a0amaker knew
nothing of this, and there was nothing on
The certificates TO indicate irregularity."
Mr. Huey then spoke of the efforts on be-
hall OF the Lucas estate TO redeem these
certificates and said that il a settlement
had been made soon after the death of
Lucas, $4,000 would have placed them in
the hands OF bncaS. But as time went on
and the losses on Reading stock increased.
the indebtedness of the Lucas estate to
Wanamaker likewise increased.
Col. Mcclure, editor of the Times. who
had been mentioned in Bardsley's state
ment positively denied Bardsley's charge
that he was to profit by his advocacy in
his newspaper of the sale of the CITY gas
works and the South mountain water
scheme.
Committeeman Hicks introduced n reso-
luton, which was adopted, that another
meeting be held on Thursday, and that the
presidents and cashiers of the banks that
are alleged 10 have paid interest to Bards-
ley on deposits of city and state funds.
