GIANT AGAINST GIANT.
Sanger Defeats Zimmerman In tho
Bicycle Races at Detroit.

Sanger Defeats Zimmerman In tho
Bicycle Races at Detroit.
DETROIT, Aug 8-About 1900 people
saw the second days bicycle racing at the
Detroit driving park under the auspices of
the Michigan divi sion. l.. A. w. The
track was in fine condition, but a strong
wind rendered fast time impossible Zim-
norman and Sanger came together In
earnest for the first time, and it was their
second meeting in the opening event, and
the western man won.
The two giants met, and Zimmerman
was vanished in the two-mile open by his
rival. Sanger and Zimmerman both stayed
in the bunch until the stretch was reached.
Sanger turned into the stretch on the out
side, and then the struggle began. They
came down TO the tape like pair of whirl-
winds. Sanger cut across and got the
pole, a length ahead, and he came bowl
ing along. while the easterner exerted
every muscle to overtake his rival. The
finish was terrific, and the Milwaukee
man shot past the tape a length in ad-
vance, amid the yclls Of the crowd. 1t was
the first real test between the two.
In all the other events in which both
men were entered, one or the other failed
TO start.

RESIGN In A BODY.
The Board of Finance of the Worlds Fair
Sick of Their Job.

CHICAGO, Aug 3.--The Board Of Finance
which was appointed to control money mat
ters of the Exposition has resigned. The
members refused to 60 on with their work,
because the board of directors sought to
make them merely an advisory committee
of the Council of Administration. At the
time the finance board was appointed the
directors voted TO stop all fixed appropria-
tions for the different departments of the
Fair and allow the new board to decide
how much money was needed to carry on
the work of the Exposition.
There is little doubt TINT the Council OF
Administration will now proceed in earnest
to cut expenses. IL has done some work
In that line during the past few weeks, but
the reductions have fallen short of the de-
sires of the directors. The running ex-
penses are supposed to be nearly 500, 900 n
day, They fully reached those figures the
first two weeks of July, but are supposed
60 have been brought down TO $4,000 n
day for the last two weeks of the month.
The figures are not obtainabe at this time,
but the most reliable estimates that could
be had were 90 the effect that the expendi-
cures for the last two weeks in July would
60 beyond $4,000.

PLAIN TALK.
n United States Judge Scores tho Edison
Company.

New YORK, Aug. BIN the United
States Court yesterday Judge Lacombe re-
fused to grant preliminary injunction in
favor of the Edison Electric Light Com.
pany and the United Electric Light and
Power Company. The Edison company
brought the suits for injunctions on the
ground of infringements Of its incandes-
cent lamp. Attorney Cravath appeared
for the United Company and Mr. Clark for
the Mount Morris Company.
Judge Lacombc said that IL appeared 70
him that the Edison people intended to hold
this recently patented lamp rs whip over
all the people in the electric light business
In the United States. In other words,
they meant that no one should 60 into the
electric light business without using that
particular lsmp; that they must get all
their dynnmos, lamps and equipments
from the one place, and II their plant had
been furnished by another concern, in or
der TO do business and use tae lamp in

THE TURKISH 0U|RAGES.
They Recall Barb,rl iaI Of the Dark
Ages.
INNOCENT CHRISTIANS KILLED.
Accused People Tortured to Force Them
to Implicats Themselves and others
The Matter Oniciaiiy Considered In
Parliament.

LONDON. Aug 3.-The question Of Turk
ish outrages upon Armenian Christians
was again brought up in the House OF
Commons. Several members asked for in
formation as TO the charges made that
the Turkish officials had tortured the per-
sons who were some time ago arrested for
completely in the seditious rioting at
Cesarea and Marsovan, in their efforts to
get the accused to implicate themselves
and Others.
In response to the questions Sir Edward
Grey, Parliamentary Secretary of the For
eign Office, said that what little infor-
nation the Foreign Office had on the sub
ject WAS very painful Fifty-six persons
had been arrested and of this number
Il had been condemned to death and many
,f the others sentenced to long terms of
Imprisonment.
Subsequently the Sultan of Turkey COM
muted the death sentences of all but five
IF the prisoners. These five men had been
executed within the past two or three
days. From the evidence that had been
given at the trials, all of which had been
carefully investigated by the British repre-
sentative in Turkey and report thereon
forwarded TO the Foreign Office, it was
clear that two Of the men executed, and
probably more, were inn ocent of the charges
made against them.
The British representative in CONSTANT
nople had used his influence to convince
the Ottoman authorities that the trials
were unfair, but his efforts to have the
wrong righted were in vain.
LONDON. Aug 3.--A meeting of the
Anglo Armenian Association was held in
this city last night to take action in regard
TO the persecution of Armenians by Turk
ish officials. Francis Seymour Stevenson,
Member of Parliament, presided.
Francis A. Claiming, who represents
East Northamptonshire in Parliament,
moved the adoption of a resolution de
nouncing the manner in which the trials
of the accused Armenians were conducted
and the subsequent execution Of five of the
prisoners.
After the resolution had been approved
an appeal was drawn up calling upon the
government TO use every effort in behalf of
the .Armenians who are still in prison and
who are doomed TO sufferings worse than
death.
The government is also asked to ap-
proach the powers with the view of form
ing an international commission TO inquire
into and report upon the condition of the
Armenians now in Turkish jails.
All the speakers severely criticized the
English government for the alleged half.

Hard Times.
Boston, Aug 3-No 50 rt of excitement
prevailed at any Of the savings banks in
Boston yesterday. At all Of them husi-
ness went on In the ordinary everyday
sort OF way. Scme people were depositing
and others were drawing, and in about the
usual proportions
II there was anything like IN exception
to this rule il was at the Five Cents Saw
ings bank. where in the morning about
75 persons, mostly Russians and Poles,
gathered and asked for their money.
President Evans said that the deposits OF
the day amounted TO about as much as the
Withdrawals. One early deposit Of the
day was $1,000 in gold.
The treasurer of the Provident Institu-
ton for Savings said: ave arc paying
withGnt notice. The Withdrawals are
more than the deposits, hut this is always
the case after dividend day, for any one
who wants to build house or the like
always waits until tho dividend is de-
clared before securing his money. De-
posits. however, are numerous"
Treasurer Morrill, OF the Provident Insti-
tuition for Savings says gentleman just
offered to pay interest on note for $50, 600
before due, and that check paid Tuesday
for $1,000, payable through the clearing
house, was redeposited yesterday morning.
At the Suffolk Savings bank nothing
unusual occurred, and at the Franklin,
Home and Union institutions everything
was quiet.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-For Se first
time since April 90, 1893. when the gold
reserve fell below the 81. 600, 900 mark, the
reserve has been male intact. The gold in
the Treasury yesterday exclusive of that
held az basis for gold certificates amounts
to 500, ,791, $50, or S79l,370 free gold.
Business troubles throughout the country.
however, affect government revenues, and
the Treasury balance is declining. Srcre-
tary Carlisle, though absent from the city,
Is in communication with the Treasury De-
partment by wire and yesterday. after a
conference in New York of the eminent
financers, directed acting Secretary Curtis
to send the following telegram to the 1j0
national bank repositories throughout the
United States: 'Your authorized balance
hereby fixed at par Of security. Transfer
excess whenever practicable to nearest sub
Treasury"
This action Of the Treasury Departments
will release to the banks about 5000, 900,
and is intended as far as practicable to re-
lieve the financial stringency prevailing in
the country. According to former regula-
tions each depository bank wrs permitted
to hold government funds to the extent OF
from 90 TO 95 per cent. of the United States
bonds deposised to secure the same. This
acs Jon OF the Treasury permits them to hold
government funds TO the par value OF the
government bonds on deposit and Ii Is be-
lieved will have tho effect in slight degree
at least, of improving the financial situa-
tlOQ.

BEFORE The SESSION.
The Democratic Caucus TO Be Held
Next Saturday.
THE OFFICIAL CALL ISSUED.
Numbers Doubt as to whether There
Will be Enough ON Hand for the Caucus
Saturday Night.

WASHINGTON, Aug 3.-Members of
Congress continue TO come in very slowly
and there is some doubt expressed rs 10
whether there will be majority of the
Democrats in town in time for the caucus
which is set for Saturday night.
1t is probable that the Democratic mem
b,rs of the Senate may caucus about the
middle of the week to determine the dis
tribution of patronage under the Secretary
of the Senate and the Sergeant-at- Arms,
but no call for that purpose has yet been
issued. There may be- little delay in this
owing to the fact that the courtesy which
exists among Senators will require them to
wait the action of the Republicans in de-
terminirg what men shall be kept as the
representatives of the minority.
Among the first things TO come before
the Senate will be the question of tho ad-
mission of Senators. the case Of Lee Man
tie, appointed Senator from Montana to
succeed Mr.. Sanders, being now before the
Senate and ready TO be called up at any
time in accordance with the motion of
Mr.. Hoar at the close Of the last session.
This is question OF privilege and may
take up the time of the Senate for quite n
while.
Representative Robertson, of Louisiana,
in response to u telegram yesterday re-
ceived authority from Judge Holman to is
ue call for a Democratic caucus. The
call is as follows:
WASHINGTON, Aug. Q, 1898.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The Treasury
Department is taking measures to curtail
the expenses of the National Commission
and the Board of Lady Managers at the
Worlds Fair.
1t Is stated that both of these bodies
have been and are now in session unnec-
essarily, thus involving large running cx-
pcnses. Both bodies have executive COM
mittees authorized TO transact any business
demanding urgency and IL is therefore con-
tended that IL is not necessary for both or
either of them to remain in session at this
time.
Secretary Carlisle's attention has been
called to the large expense thus incurred,
and recommendations have been made to
