vor1te, Merry Monarch was next, with
Bassetlaw next and Stonenellie the out

In the fourth there was one of the
best whipping finishes of the meeting
Bolivia was looked upon as safe to get
out of the maiden class, and was well
backed. She seemed to have it all her
own way to the head of the stretch, when
Littlefield got to work on Monotony and
before he knew it, Daggett was in diff

STUDYING THE VOLCANO.
Scientists on the Summit of Popo-
catapetaI.

Mexico City, Mex, Aug. 20.-The gov
eminent expedition of scientists, now
on the summit of Popocatapetal, is
making good progress in the surveys
and studies of the volcano. The alti-
tude is 49, $50 Spanish feet above the
level of the sea and the circumference
of the crater is 14.0G0 feet.
Elaborate study is being made of the
smoking vents of the volcano and the
general deposits in the crater as well
as the geological formation of the
mountain and the botanical specimens
encountered on it's lofty slopes.
Donald Stewart returned last night
from the expedition with which he
spent several days for the purpose of
looking into the feasibility of construct
ing a wire tramway from the base of
the xplcano to the sulphur mines with
Iin the crater He thinks it possible to
construct a tramway for freight and
passengers, but has not entirely stud
led the obstacles to be encountered and
the difficulties to overcome. The tram
way would be over ten miles in length
and the longest line of the kind in the
world

FOR THE ARREST OF EZETA.

Bennington on which the refugees are
prisoners, is still cruising off shore. There
is every indication that she is to be kept
at sea Indefinitely. This morning Lieu

and went to sea again with another big
supply of fruit, vegetables, and fresh
meat for the Bennington, indicating that
it is the governments Intention to keep
the refugees outside the three-mlle limit

for at least day or two. This strange
DELAY is a puzzle. to the local federal au-
thoIities who are all but certain that the
necessary documents in the case have
arrived from Washington and are now in
the hands of the San Salvadorlan off1cla!s
here. The only plausible explanation is
that the local officials of the government
of San Salvador some of whom are
known to be friendly to the EzetaS, are
still fighting among themselves. The
president of San Salvador appointed a
new consul here on Saturday last, and 1t
is considered probable that the deposed
consul, Yrigoyen, who is close friend
of the Ezetas, and who hurried off to
New York recently to confer with carlos
Ezeta the deposed president, has refused
to deliver the documents to his success

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS.
The "Railroad Fight" Promises to
Seriously Disturb the Convention,
Which Will Convene Today

Which Will Convene Today.
San Francisco, Aug. 2O.-The city to-
night is swarming with politicians here
to attend the Democrats state conven-
ton, which convenes in the Baldwin
theatre at noon tomorrow. II is gener-
ally predicted that the convention will
be sensational. The politicians are all
at sea, and not even the knowing ones
are predicting results with any degree
of certainty. For the gube,ua otlal
nomination there are many candidates
James Budd, of Stockton, is an
avowed aspirant. Barney Murphy, of
San Jose, is also being indlsrriously
doomed. Jackson Temple, ex-justiee of
the state supreme court, has also been
urged and could undoubtedly have the
nomination, but today he publicly an
nounced he was not a candidate, and
would not accept the nomination under
any circumstances.
1t is probaJ.a, 100, that Congressman
Mcguire might have the nomination If
he desired it, but tonight it seems 10 be
agreed that he will be re-nominated for
Congress.
The railroad fight is already on and
threatens to seriously disturb the COLI
vention. 1t is alleged that the rail-
road men a.e making their fight to
coHtrol the H1iiiiildlioHS Ior idlltOdu
commissioners and members Of the
state board OF equalization. This fight
is sure to be precipitated at the opening
of the convention.
Two contestIng delegations have ap-
peared from Sacramento One Of these
delegations is admitted to be friendly
to the Southern Pacific's interests,
while the others, who are known as re-
organizers, are openly hostile to the
railroad influence. The question Ct
refunding the Pacific railroads irdebt-
edness is also a vital Issue il California
and is certain to disturb the CONVEX. ton.

Again Zeigler was forced to take the
dust in the last, an extra quarter mile
open, when A. l. Brown set him too hot
a pace, and he had to take second.
No records were broken on account
'of bad wind down the stretch, but
with pacemakerS j. S. Johnson rode a
mile, when he beat Zeigler in 2:11 As,

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Sir Julian

companied by Charles Upper, the Can
adam minister of fisheries, called at
the state department, and had an inter-
view with Secretary Gresham regard

The claims will probably be adjusted

British ambassador the information
necessary for the prosecutions of the in

Not Yet Abandoned.

Washington, Aug. 2O-Members of
the House committee on commerce
have not abandoned the project of
holding an investigation of the recent
railroad strikes for which a resolution
is before the committee.
The appointment of a commission by
President Cleveland to conduct a, SIM
ilar investigation was thought to have
forestalled action by the committee,
and for time the idea of a congress
sional investigation was dropped. 1t is
thought by members that the inquiry
by the commission, now in progress, is
intended principally to secure informa-
ton upon the questions of capital and
labor involved and their solution.
Supporters of the resolution before
the committee desire a report regard
ing the effect of the railroad strike up
on commerce between the states. Two
or three members favor laws which
/ would control railroad employees, so
THAT general strikes to paralyze COM
merce could not be inaugurated with
out due notice. They regard the rail-
roads, in a measure, as public. high
ways which should he under public
control An effort win be made to have
a committee meeting called this week
to report to the House a resolution for
an investigation during the recess.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Mr. Harris re-
ported the amended sugar bill and
coal, iron and barbed wire bills in the
Senate today.
Mr.. Allison said the acton of the
Senate last Saturday on Manderson's
amendment, when the vote was q to
20. and the amendment only failed for
the lack of a quorum, should be re-
garded as an instruction to the COM
mittee to report the amendment fav-
orably.
~ Mr. Allison stated that the barbed
wire bill does not provide for free
barbed wire at all. as it places a duty
upon the manufactured article, while
admitting the material free He re-
minded the Senate that the Wilson bill
provided for IS per cent. at valorem
duty on barbed wire but the Senate
had reduced it.
Mr.. Aldrich, another Republican
member of the finance committee, de-
MED that the substitute bill just passed
was by the unanimous vote of tle COM
mittee, as it had been opposed by all
the Republican members. The House
had desired to put barbed WIRE on the
free list to benefit the farmer. but in
its haste it had done just the oppo-
site.
The House bill to provide a national
home for aged and infirm co,ored peo-
pie went over until the next session.
Mitchell (Oregon) gave notice that if
the sugar bill was called up this ses-
sion he would offer an amendment re-
enacting the schedule of 1890. Bills
placing wool, coal and iron on the free
list were ordered placed On the calen-
dar
The Senate bill to push the claim of
the United States against the estate of
Leland Stanford was passed.
The Senate went into executive ses-
sion. but owing to the lack of a quorum

Only waiting For the Bill.

Washington. Aug. 2O.-speaker Crisp re-
turned today from old Point Comfort,
Va. He says adjournment could be had
by Wednesday, if the president should
act on the tariff tomorrow. The only leg
islative matter pending on which action
is hoped for, is the alcohol bill now be-
fore the Senate, but it appears to be at
fected by the Murphy resolution post
poning all tariff legislation.
Members of the ways and means COM
mittee say they do not think the presi-
dent will let the tariff bill become law
until the last moment. in order that the
customs officers may have all lnforma.
ton possible. This would not be until
midnight Monday next.
Representative Tarsney will make no
effort to push his free silver and lead
ore bill beyond getting it on the House
calendar. He reported it from the COM
rnittee today.

Another story.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 20-A Min
neapolis boy, who is member of the
crew of the Bennington. on August 10
wrote his parents in this city letter
which they received today. He refers
to the important prisoners they had on
board. He writes that when they left
San Francisco and had gone beyond
the three-mile limit, the Sea King
brought the commander sealed in
structions, which were not to be open
ed until after a certain time. When
thirty miles beyond the three-mile
limit the sealed orders were opened
and it was found the commander had
been ordered to Incando, Mex, where
he was to land the refugees, but be-
fore proceeding to that place the ship
has been undergoing repairs, which ex-
plains why it has been at anchor.

TariG Debate Has Ended.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-The -Repub-
licans say there will be no more bust
ness of Importance transacted at this
session. except, perhaps, the passage of
the bill correcting the alcohol schedule.
Today, Senator Lindsay was ready to
make a speech defending the action of
the Senate finance committee and the
Democratic senators who supported
them.
1t is also understood that Senator
Allison was also ready to make a speech
of some length on the present status Of
tariff legislation. Ii is possible that
both OF these speeches viii be made by
the courtesy Of the Senate, although the
Republicans said today that no speeches
would be made.
Some of tie Democrats assert how
aver, that if any attempt is made to
prevent the speeches on the Democratic
side. quorum viii be recalled under
duress by the sergeant-at-arms
On the Republican side it is claimed
the tariff debate as well as the tariff
legislation is at a close.

the Senate was suspended while the

ton of the claims of the United States
