BROWN WILL NOT GO OUT.
The Registrar of Voters Likely
to Be Retained.
A Decision Reached by the White
Evidently Afraid Of Estes-Alex-
ander Banqueted.

Governor Markham has rendered q de-
cision In relation to the request which was
made to him for the removal Of Registrar
Brown, and while it Is not known just what
the result is, it is said on the very best
authority that Brown will remain where he
is. The Bartlett affidavit which was taken
TO Sacramento by Wendell Easton was COM
pletely knocked out by the testimony of
men who knew the inside facts of the case,
and the proof Of Browns innocence of
wrong was so conclusive that the Governor
could not do otherwise than as he did under
the circumstances. Even the men who are
opposed TO the retention of the Registrar
admitted yesterday that the business of his
Office was in splendid shape, and that no
fault could be found on that score.
As 1t now turns out the Bartlett affidavit
was first placed in the hands of District
Attorney Barnes, who was requested to
the purpose of securing an indictment.
That official investigated the matter and
reported that the evidence was not sufficient
for any such action on his part, and for that
reason he declined to proceed. Then II was
that Wendell Easton took the matter up
and placed II in the hands of the Governor.
Colonel Burns, who is generally supposed
to have secured the appointment of Brown.
went al once to the Governor and informed
the latter that IL any wrOngdoing could be
proven he (Burns) would ask for the Regis
trar's removal. He was confident however,
that no crookedness existed. The Cover
noPs decision, IL as reported, finally dis
buses OF the matter.

backs and rifles in their hands. The SOL
diers cut out speedy pace. which lasted
fer about hundred yards. When they met
q strong breeze on the stretch near the
grand stand they got down 10 an easy gait,
and considering their weighty dress they
ran very well indeed. The private won the
race easily. He evidently was in better
condition than his superior officer. II is
expected that a large field Of entries will be
had for the next military race.
Little Brown of the Amateur Academic
Athletic Association surprised his oppo-
DentS in the mile race. especially Mr.. Baird,
the once famous pedestrian. Brown, who
started from the scratch. ran pretty race
from start to finish. he Is q good Judge of
pace, and, although by no means pressed,
he caught the leader before the latter had
got within 300 yards of the finish. Baird
struggled hard to run Brown wn near the
finish, but the little fellow laughed in his
sleeve at Baird's ftuitless attempt. Brown
Is newcomer who will be heard from next
year as being one of the best milers in
America. Tie has both speed and endur-
ance and only requires a longer and loosen
stride to make hIm frst-class distance

About 500 people witnessed the sim
gle-handed tug-of-war last evening be-

yesterday was even, but when the pool
sellers opened their books at the Wigwam
last night Smith sold favorite at SO to IS.
When the signal for the tug to commence
was given Ackerson settled down to bust
ness and by slow pulling inches he brought
Smith over the cleats until the Canadian s
chances looked decidedly blue.
TIE betting now changed and Aekerson's
stock went TO high figure. He was sold
al $40 against 81 on Smith. Several hun
dred dollars were wagered atlthese odds and
the long shots felt as If they had a mort
gage on the short-enders.
Slowly Smith lost ground and he was
within few inches of the last cleat, when
suddenly he was seen TO bend his muscular
back, and after pause Of an instant the
tables were turned on the Sc0tehman.
Smith was playing oDpossam on his Op-

The three Danes who were piited against
an equal numbnr of Canadians won a very
easy victory. The tug lasted minutes.
The betting yesterday afternoon was in

SPRINTING In THE FOG.
Midsummer Field Day Of the
Olympic Athletic Club.
Reynolds and Morris Equaled the Worlds
Record in Three-Legged Racing-Hen-
derson Easily Defeated Lean.

The midsummer field day of the Olympic
Club was very well attended yesterday. so
far as ladies were concerned.
The members who graced the grand stand
with their PRESENCE were few indeed. This
was probably owing 10 the fact that the
managers of affairs athletic had omitted the
introduction of few slogging bouts on the
turf. Then again it might have been the
small charge of 90 cents that deferred
large gathering of gentlemen sports from
witnessing an excellent days field athletics.
1t is certain. however. that old Boreas has
no great fondness tor outdoor sports, for. as
a general rule, he turns loose his floodgates
whenever horserace meeting is being held,
and as matter of variety he envelopes the
athletes In fog on occasions specially ap-
pointed for athletic field days.
II was cold during the afternoon OF yester-
day. Banks of fog swept over the hand
some grounds. Thanks to the officers who
supervised the track and field events, the
programme was not delayed in any partic-
uar.
The event OF the day was the much
looked-for 100-yard scratch race between
Lean and Henderson. The sprinters were
somewhat assisted by breeze. which fav-
cred them TO reduce time when running.
1t was the first event on the programme,
and although Lean got the best of Starter
Eliott's little gun, he had not gone more
than few yards when Henderson was at
his side. They ran on even terms until 60
yards from the scratch, when the clubs
champion sprnter heightened his strides
a few inches. and Lean fell back gradually
until the tape was broke in 10 Is seconds
by Henderson who defeated his muscular
opponent three yards.
Only two members of the National Guard
put In an appearance when the 8S0-yard
race was announced. 1t was thought that
at least four representatives of the militia
would toe the scratch. but when it was pro-
claimed that 'the boys in blue" bad not
yet recovered from the fatigue and tired
feeling. resulting from a weeks encamp-
ment at Santa Cruz. an excuse was readily
granted those OF the army who had failed
to connect with track athletics.
Private Bauer and Sergeant Pembroke
were the only starters. They wore
regular uniforms. 1t amused the ladies to
see two army men digging up cinders while

worked RS brakeman.
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
II have tackled pretty nearly all the
trades in my time," said Thomas Farley,
successful speculator whose ST. Louis head
quarters is at the Lindell. II have made
pork barrels and built houses, sold goods at
auction and written free-trade editorials,
owned circus and travelled for Bible
house, but the worst job l ever tackled was
that OF railroad brakeman. The tiger put
his paw on my pocket-book down in Texas
some years ago and / got clear down to
handouts A friend secured me- q posi-
tion as freight brakeman and / held the job
for two months. On my first trip out
turned switch to let the train in on q
side track. then turned 1t again to let it
out. That little stroke of genius cost the
company cool 5000, but l managed
to dodge discharge. In those two months /
had more narrow escapes than in the four
years OF the civil war. How any freight
brakeman manages to dodge death year
must ever remain an inscrutable mystery.
Yet there Is fascination about railrOading
similar to that once possessed by the sea,
and one brakeman Is no sooner killed ur
crippled than dozen noviees spring for
ward, eager for the place. In the small
towns the railway conductor Is regarded
with the enyious awe that the big booted
stage-driver inspired in days of old Every
youugster who loafs about the station is
hungry for job on the road. His ambi-
ton is to become conductor, wear blue
suit OF clothes, gold badge and carry a
lantern with green top. Why Jay Gould
does not act as conductor on his own roads
Is something they cannot understand"

ONE MILE TO THE MOON.
What q South American Hopes to Ac.
cOmpiish With Telescope.


Let any scientific reader stand on an I'M.
INSTRUCTED plain and look ct an object one
mile away and he will find that he can dis
tinguish In very clear way not only the
outlines, but even minute portions of the
object II, then, the moon could be brought
to within an apparent distance of one mile
from the earth what possibility of selen-
tific discovery would be opened up. This
possibility. or rather certainty. of discovery
is what live and energetic gentleman from
Colombia, South America, feels certain he
Is able to accomplish, and If success crowns
his efforts there will be exhibited at the
Worlds Fair rejecting telescope of so
much greater power than anything yet
kI own that In comparison the present big
instruments will be little less than toy spy
glasses.
Senior Dr. Carlos Alban OF Colombia. is
the wizard who proposes to produce all
these marvelS, and at present the doctor is
in Washington comforting with scientific
men and officials as to the best mode of
procedure. DR.. Alban brings with him
letters from his own Government and from
prominent American and French residents
OF Bogota. He has served as procurator-
general of Colombia, and is we'll known as
scientist of high standing. His plan for a
telescope embraces the principle of rejecting
mirrors with several radical changes from
the old methods. A new medium is used,
In the first place. for the mirrors them
selves, and then for focal adjustment in
stead OF the present method of moving the
eye piece. the mirror itself is moved to
obtain the proper adjustment. DIR. Alban
has already built an instrument
% inches in diameter, which has
been exhibited in New York and which has
shown marvellous power. An instrument of
four yards diameter will only weigh 200
pounds and unless the eminent inventor
has made a very great miscalculation will
have such power as TO bring the moon
within one mile of the earth and allow OBJ
servers to finally determine the structure
and question of the probability of life ex-
listing on that luminary.
An article recently published In the Cour-
Ter des Etats Unis contains an account of a
somewhat similar telescope which was ex-
pected TO be prepared by the grand exhibit
tion in Paris in 1900. 1t is interesting to
know that DR.. Alban had developed his
plan before the French apparatus was
thought Of, and that IL further success
crowns his efforts the credit of this great
stride in astronomy will belong to the
American continent, while the United
States will be the scene OF its practical de-
yelOpment and operation.

MARKRAM's AMBITION.
He Would Greatly Like to Be Secretary

He Would Greatly Like to Be Secretary
OF War.
Advices from Sacramento received Friday
were 10 the effect that Governor Markham
had been interviewed and had denied that
he was an aspirant for Senatorial honors.
Ten years of Office. he said, was sufficient
for one man.
The interview is probably authentic but
not entirely clear. No one here believes
that the Governor is an aspiran:, but 1t Is
not believed that he would refuse to allow
his friends 20 make q struggle for him. The
truth OF the matter Is, however, that the
Governor has long nursed desire to be Sec
rotary OF War, and il Is believed that In the
event of the reelection of Harrison he
would like to be offered the place. This
would be preferable in his ewes to a seat In
the Senate. and would give him a greater
leverage than be could hope TO obtain by
succeeding FELTON,.
Still the Governor is known to be an am
bilious man. and one of his friends said yes
terday: Il known nothing as to the Gov
errors intentions. but believe that If his
friends should make a fight for him and win
ii he would not decline. The clause In the
constitution which forbIds a Governor to
resign to accept another office is mere
moonshine. and would not hold water for a
moment. No court on earth would hold 1t
as binding, and no one would attempt to
have il enforced"
