BLUE GRASS RACES.
Kingmsn . Hot Favorite in the Ken

LOUISVILLE, May l2.-tspeciaL Never before
in the history OF racing at Churchill
Downs has such a crowd assembled in
Louisville on the day before the Derby. Every
hotel In crowded TO the corridors, and all day
parties OF shelterless strangers have wandered
from one hotel to another, and after exhausting
the list, have had 10 turn TO boarding
houses and private residences with sn appeal
for an abiding place. Down at the Turf Ex-
change. where there was sufocating crowd to-
night, Charley Stiles shouted: "What am / of.

Cincinnati. who secured the pool and named
Kingman.
Second choice was Bsigowau at $3.50. and half

third choice at $500. Hart Wallace went at $40,

the same amount VALERA brought up the rear

The sentiment so far as the public IL con-
cerncd IL all for Kingman, but a few good horse
men favor Georgetown on the ground
that he outclasses the others in his
2year-old form and that he comes to his post
in the pink Of condition, whereas Kingman's

the past week at Lexington. IL is not
thought that public favor win justify

long continued and repeated Cleveland
responded 70 an address Of welcome with q
speech delivered with great earnestness and re.
eeived enthusiastically. After the exercises In
the assembly hall, Mr.. Cleveland, assisted by
prominent Democrats Of tho city and county,
held reception in the Grawing-room, to which
the general public was admitted. Mr.. Cleve-
land said in part:
! believe the most threatening figure which
today stands in the way OF the safety Of our gov.
eminent and the happiness of our people Is the
reckless and wicked extravaganza of public ex-
penditures. 1t is the most fatal OF all the
deadly brood born OF governmt ntal poison. Ii
hides beneath its wings the betrayal of the peo-
ples trust and holds powerless In its fascinating
ginnce the peoples will and conscience. 1t bra
zenly exhibits today billion-dollar congress.
But lately large surplus remained in the peo-
pies public treasury, after meeting all expendi-
lures, then by no means economical. This con-
can people as positive proof P that mt the
burden of taxation was unjust because

It's staggering victims to bring still

Today public extravaganza DEGREES that three
times that sum shall be drawn from the people
upon the pretext that its expenditure represents
the popular love for the soldier.
Mr.. Cleveland touched upon the increase In

its vicious tariff partner bears pilfered benefit tc
the households OF favored selfish interests. LIE,
us as we push on in your campaign of education
especially impress upon our countrymen the
lesson which teaches that public extrava
gance Is deadly and dangerous thing;
that frugality and economy are honorable;
that virtue and watchfulness Of the people are
the surest safeguards against abuses in their
government, aud that those who profess to serve
their fellow citizens In public places must be
faithful to their trusts"

pretty little steamer Nagasak is now lying at
Captain Couth's with her boilers burnt out and
a nice $1,000 will go 10 the foundrymen before

The Sagassaki was chartered few days ago
for trip to fernando island but the engineer
stoutly refused TO make another trip with Cap
tain Jones and considerable delay ensued He
hurriedly ransacked the city for another certi-
fcated engineer TO make the trip and at
last one WAS found who said he
had his papers, but who was not
required to show them, and all was ready for
the start Friday morning. but to the engineer
many things were defective AID he could not
find any relief taps for the cylinder, and pro-
ceeded with a crowbar to turn the machinery
till water could be got out. After
this herculean feat had been accomplished
and the signal given, some power other
than the vesssl went esteru. This
occurred a second time, but at last she got away
and safely passed seehelt and the Trail islands
where the next difficulty occurred. The En-
gines refused TO work aud anchor was cast until
relief should come. and on examination
IL was found that no water was
IN the boilers and the fire had
melted the metal of the ends Of the boiler tubes
SO as to render that part OF the machinery
utterly useless There was nothing to do
but wait until a passing steamer could
be hailed. The Eta White happened

THE Diets OF THE WORLD.


WASHINGTON CITY. May 12.-The census bu-
rea1 has issued bulletin upon the debts OF the
world. Az far as can be ascertained tho debts
OF foreign countries in 1890, less sinking funds,
wss SIS 636 1000, an increase OF over 2i54 $685.,
655. Tie debt Of the United states at the same
time shows decrease of s1,o07, $4,000, or more
than hall the amount of the debt in 1880 The
increase In the debt OF the states and territories
in the ten years to 1850 Is s67,2l9.000. In the
same time the debts OF counties increased sl1,-
s45 0oc. Relatively the burden OF debt is far
heavier upon the inhabitants Of the prin-
cipal foreign countries, except those Of Ger
many, than upon this country. While indi-
vldual fluctuations in the amount OF indebted
ness OF seyenty-Dine foreign nations have
been considerable during the decade,
the aggregated Indebtedness shows relatively
but little change, especially II compared with
the increase OF population.
Aggregating the nation, state and county, the
indebtedness per capita shows q decrease from
$4,000 In 1880 to s20.f5 IN 1890. The aggregate
surplus of receipts in another decade like the
one just passed would relieve the country from
nearly all national, state and county indebted
ness, could they be distributed for that purpose.
