Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The managers
of the race meeting at the Ivy City track
reluctantly decided late this afternoon to
abandon all racing until January 18th,
when decision is hoped for on the mo-
ton to quasi the indictment against the
bookmakers. The horses will remain in
Washington, but the bookmakers will go
to New y ork and elsewhere. Should the
indictment be quashed, as the race people
expect, the "bookies" will return and the
racing be resumed. If, however, the deci-
sion sustains the Indictment the race
people will abandon the Ivy City track
and start business elsewhere. This con-
clusion was reached as the result of pro-
ceedings in court to-day. AS soon as
bookmaker Bennington and his three
clerks were arrested to-day on indict-
ments by the Grand Jury they were
taken before Justice Bradley Of the Su-
preme Court of the District of Columbia,
criminal branch, who held them III bail
of 81 900. To-day'S races resulted:

WOODLAND, Dec. ga wOodchopper
named Owen McGloughlin was stabbed
to death on farm in Capay Canyon,
about seven miles west of the town of
Capay, this morning. A man who re-
fused to give any other name than
BILLY" is under arrest for the crime.
Particulars concerning the affray are very
meager.
According to accounts "Billy" went to
Capay and surrendered himself to a Con-
stable, saying he had killed a man. He
said that he and Owen McGloughlin were
employed on the ranch of Frank Milsap.
He declared that there had been no quar-
rel, but while ne was cooking breakfast
McGloughlin came up behind him and
struck him over the head with a skillet.
knocking him senseless. He knew moth
ing more until he heard McGloughlin
groaning and found him under tree ar-
parently insensible. He dragged him
into the house and found that he was
stabbed three times in the side and
slashed once across the face. He died a
few minutes later.
From another source it is learned that
two of the woodchoppers quarreled yes
terday. Mr.. Milsap overheard them and
put a stop to it, and he supposed the
whole matter was settled.

TRADE IN ENGLAND

Worse the Past Year Than in Any
Preceding One.
LONDON, Dec. 27.-The Pail Mall CO.
zette publishes review of the trade OF
the year, compiled from official returns.
1t says: Trade during 1893 was worse
than in 1892. General gloom now hangs
over the country's industries. The inn
ports for eleven months declined Ell. .0O0,-
900, compared with 1892, and the exports
declined e6,50O,0O0. There has been a
shrinkage in every important class of i'm
ports and exports. On the other hand,
American trade is steadily advancing, but
what effect the change in the tariff will
cause is matter of conjecture. Brazil
and other South American Republics,
except Chile, have been large buyers.
Merchants generally are looking with
confidence for improving trade in 1894,
provided there is no serious strike or
lockouts.

Mohammedans Expelled by Christians
From Uganda.
BERLIN, Dec. 26.-News has been re-
ceived from Uganda that the Mohammed-
ans have been expelled by Christians.
Severe fighting is now inevitable between
Christians and Mohanmedans, and an en-
counter will probably take place at
Myoro. 1t is believed there will be re-
newed conflicts between the Protestants
and Catholics, owing to the fact that the
former have broken their agI cement with
the Catholics and depopulated the Prov
inces Of Kama and Bivenkula and large
Sese, whose populations were Catholic.
The Protestants are also said to have de-
clared vengeance upon native converts
to Catholicism, and it is believed peace
can only be secured by a permanent eX
pulsion of Mohammedan Bagandas and
the separation of Catholic and Protestant
spheres by Nile tributaries.

became known in the audience and

serious results. The excitement, how
ever, spread throughout the city and the
widest rumors prevailed all night.
Delboche and Ferrerea addressed the
jury in an excited manner, upholding
the principles of anarchy. and condemn
ing violence, but proclaiming that the
term anarchist" was synonymous with
that of honest man." During the course
OF their address they said the anarchists
also claimed that their brethren of Chi
cago and others who were executed as
penalty for their crimes were martyrs
in the cause of the redemption of human
ity." The prisoners denied that they had
any intention to blow up the Cortes.
They were induced to carry the parcels
to the Chamber. and they insisted that
they were ignorant of their contents.

Causes the Assignment of the San
Francisco Bridge Company.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 27.-An assign
ment has been made by the San Francisco
Bridge Company for the benefit of its
creditors. 1t is stated that the failure was

TARIFF QUESTION.

The Trouble of Democrats Comes
Almost Entirely From the South.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The Commercial
Advertisers Washington special says:
The trouble the Democrats are having in
their own ranks over the tariff question
comes almost entirely from the Southern
people.
In the reports made to have the Wilson
bill changed or defeated in the Senate
it has been developed that the protection
sentiment is growing in the South with
extraordinary rapidity.
The attempt is being made by some of
the leading Southern business men to get
one of the Southern Senators to introduce
8 resolution in the Senate declaring that
OF account Of the present business de-
preston, it is the sense of the Senate
there should be no revision of the tariff
for two years.
There is, of course, no possibility of
such a resolution being adopted, but the
proposition has been made in earnest.
The object of the resolution may be ac-
3;omplished, however, through the failure
of the two houses to agree on the bill.

RELATIONS WITH HAWAII.

Foreign Relations Committee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The sub-com-
mittee of the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations, appointed to investigate
our Hawaiian relations, met this morn
ing and proceeded to work on the Morgan
resolution.
DR.. 0. P. Emerson, Secretary of the
Board of Missions for Hawaii, was the
first witness. The proceedings of the
subcommittee were held behind closed
doors.
1t is understood that DIR. Emerson was
examined especially concerning the land
ing of American troops on the island,
with the view of showing the part Min,
lister Stevens and Commander Wiltse had
taken in the revolution. The committee
was especially anxious to obtain the most
minute facts in reference to this episode,
and as DIR. Emerson was an eyewitness
and also the first person before the COM
mittee, he was questioned very closely as
to the exact and relative time of the land
ing of the troops and the action of the
Hawaiians themselves.
Professor Alexander, Surveyor General
of the Hawaiian Islands, is also in at
tendance and will be examined later.

o. r. AND y. COMPANY.

PORTLAND orr, Dec 27. = The net
earnings of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company, according TO re-
ports of the Union Pacific, have for sew
eral years shown a deficiency, after pay
ing the per cent. stipulated in the lease
on the Oregon Railway and Navigation
stock. and it is not thought the deficiency
can be overcome by the receivers Of the
Union Pacific. The bondholders want
their interest, as is evidenced by the petit
ton of the Farmers Loan and Trust
Company, holder OF mortgage on all
property securing the bonds. The ques-
ton seems susceptible of these solutions,
either that the stockholders will have to
wait for their returns, or the court will
have to order the deficiency made up by
other funds of the Union Pacific, or else
set aside the lease. Should the lease be
set aside, it is said the Oregon Railway
and Navigation would go into the hands
of a receiver. Railroad men say this
would result in a revision of rates.
