 Day of Sport.
 Pittsburg, Sept. l2.-Eight hundred delegates and visitors participated in the opening session of the twelfth an nual convention of the Woman's Relief corps In her opening address National President Sarah G. Mink said:
 Tt Is with deep regret we have seen Memorial day used as day of sport and recreation by the careless and in- different. l feel that we can in no bet ter way impress upon the youth of our land the significance of this holy day than to request that the last regular session of all the public schools prior to Memorial day shall be devoted to ex- ercises of a patriotic nature. It Is a law in Massachusetts, which ought to be adopted by the legislature of every state where Memorial day Is legal hol- iday"
 The report of the national secretary, Mrs. Sarah F.. Phillips, showed the total membership to be 139,019. a gain of 4,75l over last years report. The national chaplain, Harriet J. Boge of Hartford, Conn.,, reported 299,1O9 soldiers graves decorated May 30 1894.

Dividing the Negro Vote.

Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 12.-George H. White, colored. solicitor of the second judicial district of this state, and one of the candidates for congress in the second congressional district, claiming to be the regularly nominated repub- lican candidate, when asked how the negro vote in this state would be cast this year-whether as a body they would support the republican-populis combination ticket-replied:
 "The solidity of the colored vote in North Carolina and several other south ern states is not what 1t has been. For three years or more there has been a tendency o2 SS.art of the people of my race to 3oin other parties than the republican to some extent. That feel ing seems to be growing. I do not think that the colored vote of North Carolina will be cast as a whole for the fusion thirds or four fifths of 1t may be so cast-it will take time and the developments of the cam paign to determine that question: It can safely be asserted, however, that the negro vote can no longer be relied upon to go solid for any party. A great many negroes voted for the democratic ticket in this state two years ago, and would not be surprised if considerable number of them do so this year,

To Control the Tin Market.

London, Sept. 12.-The Times says: Despite the ignominious failure of the syndicate which engineered the corner in tin in 1887, another combination of French and Dutch spectators is now trying to obtain control of the tin mar ct. It Is asserted that they already hold about 16,OOO tons of tin, but the actual quantity is thought to be nearer '12,000 tons. The low price of tin has apparently induced the formation of a corner. The prospect of a revival in trade, with large expansion in con- sumption, is also strong attraction, as it is known that stocks in the United States have fallen to a low level, being under 1000 tons, compared with 10000 tons in 1893. The purchases of the com- bination have already caused a rise in the price of f6 ton, and its members would gain f120,oOO if they could find buyers for their stocks. They have hoped that America would be obliged to have recourse to the European markets, but they are likely to be disappointed. as America should easily supply its re- quirements direct from Chinese mer- chants or the East Indies."

ALL FATORITES WON.
The Fastest Time of the Week Made in
 the Pacing Race.

The Fastest Time of tho Week Made in
 the Pacing Race.
 Philadelphia, Sept 12.-Favorites woh all three of the grand circuit races at the Philadelphia driving park to-day. J. M. D. easily defeated a field of five in straight heats in the 2:24 trot. Raven captured first money in the 2:24 pace after a five-heat contest, and Limonero took the big end of the stake in the three-year-old event by winning three of the five heats. The fastest time of the week, PIP, was in the second heat of the pacing race, by Whisper.
 4 Cool and clear weather served to in- crease the attendance, one thousand persons being present. After !. M. D. had won the first heat by 8 length from Happy Lady, the latter giving him an argument for the first half, he was barred in the pools. He had everything his own way in the next two heats.
 The 2:14 pace was prettily contested. Raven won the first handily, but was beaten on the home stretch in the sec ond by Whisper. The third heat was won by Raven, with Whisper second, sb1t the judges set the former back to last place because she swerved on the home stretch and interfered with Nellie F., Whisper being given the heat. With the disadvantage of being placed on the outside in the fourth heat, before the quarter pole had been reached Raven was two lengths to the good. This po- sition was maintained until the finish. Raven led all the way around in the fifth and last heat.
 In the last race Hilda s. won the first heat by three lengths, but the next went to Limonero in slow time. Hilda s. was again first under the wire in the third, but Limonero outfooted her in the next two. It was intended to end the meeting on Friday, but the failure of the 2:20 trotting race to fill has ne- cessitated change, and if the new program can be carried out the meeting will end tomorrow.

ALIX THE EQUAL OF NANCY.
SITE WOULD HAZE BEATEN THE FAMOUS MARE BUT FOR 4 FRIGHT.

The Little Mare Came Home as No Trotter
 Ever Did Before. MakinEa Half Mile In
 One Minute and Thres-quartors of a
 seeond-win Try Again Friday.
 Terre Haute. Sept. i2.-Aiix to-day trotted a mile in 2:o4 on the same track whers-- Nancy Hanks fixed worlds record at 2:0t September 2s. iss9. The nile to-day ought to ha', been 2Na'f. Andy McDoweii. who drove Alix to- day. and Monroe Salisbury both are so firmly of the belief that she can beat the record that she will be started again on Friday.
 The trouble to-day was around the turn in the first quarter. where the track scrapers had left a pile of dirt which scared Alix and caused her 10 fall to go the quarter as fast as she had been rated before the mile was be- gun. The second quarter was made in 3lA seconds: the half mile in i:03h, half second slower than Nancy Hanks passed 1t two years ago. But the little mare came home as no trotter ever did before, and went half a mile in one min ute and three seconds. She made the third quarter in 29X, Nancy's time for the same quarter, but she came around the fourth corner of the track and home in 31 seconds, half second faster than Nancy did.
 McDowell went under the wire sever al times before he had the runner back of him and far on the outside. and nodded for the word. Under the wire on both sides of the track and up in the grand stand in line with the wire were perhaps 100 expert timers. The mare did not impress them when she got away as having started fast enough, and when the half was caught In 1:0Sh there was little or no hope of her beat ing her own record. The runner was driven alongside. and then the racing queen began stepping as never did a trotting horse. She was steady and did her best in response to McDowelfs call upon her down the stretch without being touched by the whip.
 Carbonate, the two-year-old gray colt owned by Dubois Brothers of Denver, lowered the worlds record for two-year- Olu pdCei D iIOul z .IV1Sb Illduc py LII eCl- ly at Indianapolis, to 2:1O, Jack Curry driving.
 In the class races the work of Ex- pressive was phenomenal. She won a six-heat race and won the fourth heat in 2:121s, the fastest mile for a three year-old this year. Expressive Is the mare whose withdrawal from Fleetwood caused the judges to expel Monroe Sal isbury.
 In the 2:17 pace Gazette and Tommy Brown had a dead heat in the fifth and the race went over until tomorrow. Tonight there is gossip that some of the watches did not catch Alix as fast as 2:04, the time being from 2:04 1-5 to 2:04h. The official timers all agreed on BOA except one, whose watch got out of fix.

Tho Pawnbroiser Testified That Detective Sergeant Haniey Pawned His Watch in February of Last Year-Ths Watch and
 Chain Are in Safe Keeping.
 New York. Sept. 12.-Lyman Stern Of No. 5s West Thirty-iirst street. pawn broker. was the first witness called by the Lexow committee to-day. He brought a watch which Detective Ser geant Hanley had pawned at his place in February, 1893. It is split-second gold watch and there Is pendant at tashed to it on which is engraved the letter M" surrounded with diamonds. On the paper wrapped around the watch was written the words stopped by De- tective Sergeant Hanley: not to be de- livered without"
 "Who wrote these words?" the wit ness was asked.
 q did" he replied. lat the request of Sergeant Hanley."
 The pledge had expired on February II, 1894, but the witness said he did not dispose of the watch on account of the memorandum which was attached. The sum of $l25 was advanced on the watch.
 You keep books, MT. stern?" "Yes. sir"
 "The committee requests you to bring those books here so that the pledges en- tered on February II, 1894. and on May 2S, 1893, may be examined"
 The watch and chain were then hand ed over to Chairman Lexow for safe keeping.
 will you swear that this was the only watch that Hanley ever pledged?" "No sir; l can't swear to that"
 Carl Weiner, who was witness be- fore the Lexow committee last June and who had testified that he kept a disorderly house in Captain Cross dis trict, took the witness chair.
 MT. Golf said here that he wished to contradict an impression that had gone abroad about Weiner's testimony.
 Tt Is claimed" said he, that Weiner was in state prison when he said he was paying Captain Cross for protection for a disorderly house. 1 wish to set this matter right"
 MT. Golf then read from the charges and specifications against Captain Cross where 1t was stated that on April 20, 1892, and on May 1, 1892, Weiner was in state prison. Then MT. Golf read from Weiner's testimony before the commit tee. It was stated there that Weiner kept the house from January, 1893, to November 1S93
 "It was after he left the prison," said Mir Golf, that Weiner kept the place at No. Delancey street."
 Then MT. Golf asked Weiner if he was interviewed by MT. Wellman in regard to the specifications against Captain Cross. -- t' 'No, sir; was not" he replied. "1 never said 'S2. always said 's3 left the prison about Christmas, 1892, and kept the house in January, 1894"

RULED IN THE UNIONS FAVOR.
Judge Woods Gives the Government Two
 Setbacks at the Debs Trial.

Judge WOOOS UlVAS tno government TWO
 Setbaclss at the Debs Trial.
 Chicago, Sept. 12.-At the opening of court to-day in the American Railway Union contempt cases Judge Woods ruled finally on the question of whether the defendants should be required to produce their documents and constitu- tion in court. Judge Woods said:
 "As the A. R. U. seems to be volun- tary association I will hold that each member is part owner of these papers as much as the defendants, and will not order them produced"
 James Conniffee, Western Union tele- graph messenger, resumed the stand He identified his delivery sheet for June 30 and pointed out on it telegram he said he delivered to Mir. Debs. Gus Wahlers identified all the defendants present as men he had seen when deliv- ering telegrams at the A. R. U. head quarters Mr. Debs was absent, but the witness described him.
 The government received another set back when Judge Woods sustained the next witness, James Hogan. one of the respondents, in refusing to answer any question whatever without conferring with counsel. Attorney Walker wished to cross-examine the witness on his an- swer to the original petition, but Judge Woods would not permit 1t.

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Plans for Resuming the Work-Financial
 Side of the Undertaking.

Side of the Undertaking.
 London, Sept 12.-The correspondent of the Standard at Paris says: The issue of the new Panama Canal shares has been postponed from September IS to September 22. The names of the president and directors of the new com pany are not yet publicly known. but I am assured that they are men of the highest standing, whose presence in the board will inspire the confidence of the public The engineer at the head of the technical department, too, is a man of the highest standing in his pro- fession. and his capacity for good or ganization is generally recognized. Thirty million francs will be expended in the first instance at the Culebra cutting. It is estimated that the pres ent issue will suffice to carry on the works for eigteen months and perhaps longer. Several thousand workmen are already assembled at Panama await ing the resumption of work on the canal.
 "M. Gautron, liquidator of the canal company, and M. le Marquis the repre- sentative of the stockholders, will send a circular to the old share and bond holders tomorrow, giving particulars concerning the new issue and offering them preference in the allotment A dividend will only be paid when the profits of the company will admit of 1t, and thus the charges during construc- tion will be diminished. The circular will refer to the interest which the grandeur of the task gives the Panama venture, and to the important amount of capital already brought into it, and will conclude as follows: The moral success of the completion of the canal by French company would in the eyes of the witnesses of previous revsrses stamp the foundation of the new com pany with an altogether special char acter.' It is provided that subscribers shall pay 25 francs upon application, 26 francs on October 15, and the remain H identified his delivery sheet for June ing 50 francs in later instalments."
