All Parties Concerned in the A fair Were
Ruled OF,
New YoRK, March 2S.-The Gutenberg
officials detected the electric spurs awindle
Friday. When Jockey Cook, who rode
Gyda in the third race was being weighed
in after the race, it was discovered that he
was nine. pounds overweight. The boy
nearly tainted when the official weigher be-
gam an inspection of his clothing. An
electric battery was found inside his silken
jacket. Wires were strung from the bat
terry down the boy legs and were CON
nected with the spurs on his boots. A
clever arrangement had been connected to
his left sleeve, by which he could turn the
electric current lnte the spurs by pressing
his forearm against the saddle. By this
means he was able to give Gvda a series
of shocks and thus increase his speed
Cook did not retain his presence of mind
to-day, however, and Gyda finished abso-
lutely last. 1t was through his bunglinQ
riding that Cook WAS suspected of being
loaded. Gvda is the horse that won at
Gloucester some time ago with odds of 100
to one against him. Friday ha was backed
down to ten to one by his owners and the
trioksters in the game. The discovery of
the electrical appliance in the iockey's
CLOTHES created tremendous sensation.
The executive committee investigated the
affair after the last race and ruled off all
concerned In the attempted swinde.

VERY SATISFACTORY.
Tho President Says Saiisburys propos
tion liz OF That Character

Tho President Says Saiisbnry's PROPOSE
tton Js OF That Character.
WASHINGTON, March 2s.--Iord saliabury's
last communication to the president, stat
ing the grounds upon which he consents to
renew the modus yivendi, was laid before
the senate this afternoon. In tranamitting
the paper to tho senate the president added
to the formal letter statement that Sails
burys reply was very satisfactory, and that
no was preparing suitable response. The
character OF this response is Indicated
briefly in the Presidents letter Ms being a
substantial acceptance Of Sallsbnry's ten
DER. with q few notifications that doubt
less Will tie arranged without difficulty.
Ihere can be no question that the rocep
ton OF the communication largely re
moved any doubt Of favorable action Of
the senate upon the treaty and. III fact,
when Adjournment was had il was tho gen
eral belief that tho treaty will be ratified
Tomorrow. Much Of debate O-day was de-
voted to the question Of damages that
might be awarded by arbitrators for or
against this country. Senator George took
prominent part IN discussing this point
and. fortified by number OF authorities,
proceeded to address the senate at length,
the newest feature of his speech being enlo
CYSTIC reference to President Harrison's at
tltude IN the negotiations. No specific pre-
dlctIon OF the amount Of damages was at
tempted, but senators familiar with the
subject cite figures to show that poacherS
secured G5OOO seal skins last year, which
meant the destruction of over 100000
seals, lnasmuch as i'll distant places
only a small portion killed at sea
are recovered, but it is believed that not
more than 10000 skins were taken in Bering
sea proper. and taking the government val
uation Of $40 per skin the damages We
could riRhtfully claim for last years oper-
alton of poachers would not be consider
able. On the other hand the loss sustain ed
by Canadian vessel owners, assuming they
we're illegally excluded from seal waters,
must have BEEN much larger than our own.

FEW DISSENTING VOTES.
Tho Minneapolis Convention Will
Ratify the Administration
OF Mr.. Harrison.
Senator Pettigrew IS. D) Has
Translated the Handwrit-
ing on the Wall.
Gov. Russell States His Preference In the
Matter of the Democratic Presi-
dentta1 Nominee.

WASHINGTON. March 28.-The following
appeared in the Evening Star Friday:
Senators who are thoroughly acquainted
with South Dakota politics seem to be very
much surprised at tho publication Of
statement which has it that the delegates
to the Minneapolis convention were in
structed for Harrison in spite Of the oppo-
tion of Senator Pettiprsw. To Star re-
porter it waa stated to- day that Senator Pet
tiQreW never wrote a letter or in any way
opposed President Harrison. Some OF
Senator PettiQrew's friends say be has besn
mnllclonsly misrepresented by those who
are opposed to the supremacy OF rspubl-
canism in South Dakota. So long as Mr..
Blaine was regarded az candidate Sena-
tor PettlRrew, who was IN accord with
South Dakota sentiment, was Blaine man.
When Blaine was no longer . possibility
south Dakota sentiment was for Harrison.
Senator Pettigrew knew this, ii ia said,
and has kept in touch with his state
throughout
The above publication was evidently for
the purpose OF convincing the people here
that Senator Pettigrew had not been op-
posed to President Harrison, and conse-
quently had not received Knockout in
the recent South Dakota convention. The
conprcmise between the South Dakota
men and tho president has been 50 nearly
adjusted that it ia safe TO say Senator Pet
tigrew is perfectly satisfied to see President
Harrison renomlnated if no other man can
be. The fact is politicians in Washington
have all come to the conclusion that the
fight against the administration, strongly
entrenched IS it is behind the government,
now that the convention at Minneapolis
will be ratification Of the republican rule
Of the past four years and denomination
Of the president without any dissenting
votes,

CLEvELAED'S STRENGTH.

The Secret OF 1t Set Forth BY Gov.
Russell.
BosToN. Mass, March 28.-Gov. Russell,
who has once Withdrawn from the presi-
Dental race in favor Of Mr.. Cleveland but
who next to Cleveland will have the sup
port of the nuRwump element in the demo-
cratic party if it is necessary to trot out
the dark horse,' made a fully prepared
statement to-day as to the outlook for the
presidency on the democratic side, in which
he said:
II think that Clevelands recent letter in
manly way places him in a proper atti-
tude before the country and his party, and
his position that presidential nomination
ls neither to be sought nor declined is right
and proper. The strength of leader in
national contest rests on the spontaneous
recognition by his party that he is one who
represents It's principles, it's progress and
its highest aspirations. Such recognition
does not require personal effort to force the
opinion and choice of the party. strong
national leader need nos opportuna
his =. party; of its own accord it will
turn to him because it wants him, and be-
cause he is first in the confidence and sup
port of the great masses of its loyal men,
bers who are devoted to its cause and de-
sire its victory as the triumph Of principle
and the Inauguration of declared policy.
This believe is Cleyeand's strength. BY
courage, ability and patriotism. he has won
the confidence and affection Of the people.
With firm adherence to democratic prin-
ciples, and with more political sagacity, he
fearlessly urged an aggressive policy Of re-
duction of tariff taxation. His course
united the democratic party upon that
question into an enthusiastic restless, fight
ing force. and has won for il unpreoe-
dented victories in every section Of tho
country. l don't understand the wisdom
Of the policy which would suggest leaving
tins path to wander divided into unknown
fields and to meet new obstacles. or which
would put aside tho man whom thof eitua-
tion distinctly marks as our leader. AZ
believe that tariff reform is and ought to be
tho great issue, it seems to me to be very
important to emphasize it. not ouly by our
party legislation and our platform, but dis
timely by our candidate. This is the i'm
portance Of Clevelands nomination."

PARIS, March 28-The excitement caused
BY the blowing up BY dynamite Of NJ. Bulot's
residence yesterday still exists. The citi
zens threaten to take the law into their
own hands and lynch the anarchists if
caught. The author Of the explosion is
said to be u mar named Ravachol. Several
Of his accomplices have been arrested. but
the police are unable to capture him. Not
withstandinq this, a reporter Of the Gaulois
claims to have interviewed Kavachol yester-
day. Rayachol says the idea Of the anar-
ohists is to terrorize the judicial authorities
30 as to prevent the condemnation of their
companions arrested for other explosions.
Ravachol says the anarchists have sufficient
dynamite to blow up the residences of
every French official.
