lished institution, and the thirsty
man in search Of drink is sure to
find an array Of more or less tempting
viands at his disposal without extra
charge. Probably very few men,
however, have ever stopped to reflect
upon the magnitude of the business
to which-the general introduction Of
the free lunch and of liquor selling
has given rise. In New York alone

THE QUEEN OF THE TURF.

Nancy Hanks Again Make n Wonderful
Record, Showing Greater Possibilities.
ST. PAUL, Sept. s.-Nancy Hanks,
queen of the trotting turf, is able to
whittle two or three seconds off the
record, for yesterday, on track con-
cededly two seconds slow, facing a
strong breeze half the distance, she
trotted a mile in 2:07 fiat, a quarter of
a second bet ter than she went the same
distance August 6, on the superb Wash

1 3-4 seconds of the world record which
she made OIL the kite shaped track at
Independen :e, Ia, a week ago.
The won lerful little mare was pa
raded at 4 o'clock before more than 22,-
600 people, the largest crowd that ever
attended race meeting in Mime
apolis.
At 4:3o, piloted by Bud Doble, who
has driven her all of her fast miles, she
again appeared and as she trotted
slowly before the grand stand she was
greeted with the most perfect ovation
ever given trotting queen.
Five minutes later she came flying
under the wire, and as Doble nodded she
was given the word $50" Away she
sped to the quarter like perfect piece
of machihery working every part in
grandest unison. She was facing a
brisk east wind, but made the distance

died at his residence in this city shortly
after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Dougherty's death was due to
nervous prostration, which affected his
brain. He has been ill for several
months past, but was recently thought
to be recovering by the attending ply
sician. A change for the worse came
Sunday night and he sank steadily un-

Daniel left home and began his strug-

made his real start in life by entering
the law offices of William and Samuel
Badger. Two years afterward he be-

BEHRING SEA CONTROVERSY.

The Limit Reached and the Exchange Of
the Original Cases Made by the Agents
of the United States and British Gov
ernment-The Case Now IN the Hands
of the A<bitrators.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Yesterday was
the limit fixed under the treaty by
which the Behring sea controversy be-
tween the United States is to be arbi-
trated, for the exchange of the original
cases by the agents of the two govern
ments. The exchange was completed
well within the limit, the last docu-
ments having been placed in the pos
session OF the arbitrators in Eu-
rope several days ago by representa-
tives of the United States government
and the case for Great Britain having
been given by Mr.. Herbert of the Brit
ish legation in this city to the state de-
partment for Senator Morgan, one of
the arbitra tors for the United States,
this week.
Justice Barlan, of the supreme court,
the other arbitrator on behalf of the
United States, is now in Europe, and
will probably remain there until the
arbitrators meet in Paris, which will
be some time in the winter or early
spTmig-PrUDaD1y March. Under tIe
terms of the treaty the meeting of
the arbitratOrs must be held
not later than five months and twenty
days after the exchange of the cases
which has just been made. within
which time the two governments must
file with the arbitrators any additional
matter that may be called out by con-
sideration of the original cases pre-
sented. This second case is referred to
in the treaty as the completed cases for
the reason that no other additional
evidence is to be presented by either
party, unless it is called for by the
arbitrators.
Senator Morgan called at the state
department yesterday and had a long
conference with Secretary Foster, who
prepared the case for the United States
as it's agent under the treaty before his
appointment as secretary of state. He
still retains control of the matter, in
addition to directing the general affairs
of the department.

Mr.. BLAlNE'S OPINION

AS to the Power of the Government In
the Adoption of Measures to Prevent
the Introduction and Spread of Con-
tagion.
New YORK, Sept. ga special to the
Times from Bangor, Me-, says that Mr..
Blaine has recently expressed to a
friend his views of the clear duty of the
government in the matter of the cholera
danger. In substance, it is to close
ffaffic between the old countries and
the United States to everybody and
everything save the mails and citizens
of this country now abroad, and to
admit these only after proper precau-
tions. His ideas are that no
commercial interests are to be compared
for moment with safety of life. He
wants discontinuance of all foreign
railroad traffic across the states Then
he would have the border pcliced to
perfection, a rigid examination in all
cities and towns of fruit, and he be-
lieves that President Harrison has the
power to SO order by proclamation. and
that there are no treaty rights to pre-
vent it.

FAULTY CONSTRUCTION,


Serious Statements in Regard to the Con.
struction of the Propeller Western Re-
serve, which Broke In Two In Lake
Superior, Causing the Loss of Many
Lives.
WEST BAY CITY, Mich, Sept. g.
Thomas Fitzgerald, the foreman Of
Wheeler's yards, and who was en-
ployed in the Cleveland yards at the
time the Western Reserve was being
built. continues to talk about the faulty
construction of the ill fated steamer
Western Reserve. He claims that while
the Western Reserve was under con-
struction he informed the superintend-
ent of the yard and afterward President
Coffin berry that the work on the vessel
was not of the right sort. He told Coffin
berry that he would not be long in re-
GREETING that stouter material was not
being used and better yeorkmen en-
ployed. Fitzgerald was discharged from
the yards soon after, and claims to have
made an affidavit before Government
Inspector of Hulls DeWolfe regarding
the unseaworthiness of the vessels
being built, the Wade and the Western
Reserve. He says the Pontiac was built
in the same manner, and soon had to
be sent back to the yard to have her
deck beams replaced that been broken
in two from the strain on the vessel
81 have every reason to believe that
the Western Reserve broke her deck
beams in the same manner as did the
Pontiac, and that being light and rum
ming in big sea, only fastened what
would have occurred sooner or later at
any rate"

finberry reminding him of his state
ments made at the time the Reserve
