SAN Francisco, Nov. 1S.-For an off
day there was a large attendance at
the track this afternoon, and as conse-
ouence betting was brisk and dollars
flowed into the boxes of the bookmakers.
The weather was delightful, there just
being enough breeze to moderate the
rays Of the sun. The track was fast,
faster even than it was yesterday. The
first race on the programme was dash
Of seven furlongs for three-year-olds and
upward. The starters were Lady Gwenn,
Regal and Fin Slaughter. The latter
was overlooked in the betting, selling
1or II 10 /, while Lady GWenn sold at I
to 10 and Regal l3 to 10. The horses were
sent OF in the first attempt, well punched,
but with Regal slightly III the lead and
Slaughter second. The positions We're
the same to the three-quarter pole, when
Regal for a moment showed ahead, but in
the stretch all We're punched again, and
the despised Slaughter, under vigorous
persuasion, drew out at the drawgate and
was never headed, winning by length,
with Regal second and Lady Gwenn
third. Time, l:ZD4.
The second race was a siX-furlong dash
for all ages, the starters being Jack the
Ripper, Altus, Connaught and Forest
Queen. The odds were y to l on the
Ripper, to on Forest Queen and 4 to
each on Altus and Connaught. The
1avorite acted so poorly at the post that
those who had money on her considered
il as good as lost before the flag dropped.
When Ferguson started them the Ripper
had the best Of it, with the Queen close
up and Connaught third. These positions
We're held to the three-quarter pole, where
-Altus ran into second place and Forest
Queen dropped back TO fourth. Up the
stretch it was a ding-dong finish between
Altus and the Ripper, the latter winning

A Poor Reward for a Traitor.

Pleasant stories Of Napoleon l. are ex-
ceedingly scarce, but here is Que: The
French Colonel Varennes had written
several confidential letters to pretended
friend, in which he censured Napoleon
about some military actions. The pre-
tended friend, expecting a good reward
by promotion or otherwise. sent the letter
to the Emperor. Narennes was sum-
moned before him. Napoleon showed
him what he had received, and asked:
Are you not ashamed of these letters %
Narennes did not lose his self-com-
mand. mo, SIRE" he replied, ''but [ am
ashamed of the address from which the
letters last came"
Napoleon's manner frightened. He
said: "You are right. Your commune
cations to your pretended friend were
confidential, but he has played Judas on
you. But if in the future you want to sub
ject my orders to criticism you ought to
send your opinion to better address;
that is to say, to myself, and l hereby ap-
point you a member of my Council of
War"
The pretended friend was transferred to
a subordinate position far away on the
frontier of the empire.

INSURANCE LITIGATION.

Policy.

Suit for the Payment of a Large
Policy.
PHILADELPHIA pa, Nov. IS.-Pro-
longed litigation is likely to attend the
settlement of the estate of the late
William NJ. Runz, the dry goods mag
nate who committed suicide some weeks
ago, and who had insurance on his life
10 total of nearly half million dollars.
The insurance is distributed between
some eight companies, and some of these
have already refused payment on the
ground that, by ending his own life, the
unfortunate man violated the terms of
his contract and invalidated his insur-
auce.
some of the policies contain a clause by
which suicide fails 10 be bar to payment
OF the insurance after a lapse OF two
years. In four such policies this pro-
vision would have gone into effect if the
unfortunate man had postponed his act of
sell-destruction Tor a week, and his
widow would have been benefited thereby
10 the extent OF at least 100000
80 Tar payment Of policies aggregating
$4,000 has been refused, the amounts be-
ing divided between the Mutual of New
York, the Home Insurance of New York
and the Travellers of Hartford. The
estate has now retained able counsel, and
what threatens to be prolonged period
OF litigation, spreading over years and
doubtless reaching the United States
supreme Court as a tinality, will be in
augurated within few days.

He IS Anxious to Embark on Another,
Expedition.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. - Lieutenant
Peary, who commanded the Kite on the
expedition to Northern Greenland, is
anxious to embark on another expedi-
ton, this time with the purpose Of reach
ing the North Pole. He has already
made application for1eave of absence for
three years, and his application has been
sanctioned by the Bureau of Yards and
Docks, to which he is amenable. But
from present indications if Lieutenant
Peary goes on the projected expedition he
will have to go as plain Mr.. Peary and
will have to relinquish his commission in
the navy as civil engineer. Commodore
Farquhar, Chief of the Bureau OF Yards
and Docks, in his annual report called at
tentiOn TO the pressing need of the navy
Tor an additional number of engineers to
keep pace with the increasing construc-
lion OF dry docks, the launching Of ways,
machine shops and other naval plants,
and in this view Secretary Tracy does not
feel warranted in allowing one of the
senior engineers, who already has been
absent under leave pay for two years, to
absent himself for three years more at the
public expense.
