Dogs ON THE RACE-TRACK.
A Canadian Lad Made $4,000 Out of
His Exhibitions.


Horse racing has long been an estab-
lished and popular pastime, and now dog
racing is coming 10 attract some atten-
ton. A lad named Willie Ketchum OF
Ontario is said to have been the pioneer
in this line of sport. In 1887 he showed
his trOtting dog broken to harness. 1t
was an Irish setter, who never lett a tro t
and made half-mile heats against ponies.
He was able to outspeed almost every
pony that was entered against him. His
challenge was against any pony twelve
hands or under, or to give any horse
twenty seconds, the horse to go mile
and the dog half mile, the horse to draw
a quarter of his own weight. The lad
made about $1,000 with his dog in this
way. Another boy, named Charley
kinsler, whose home is in Ohio, trained
bulldog to make splendid time
on the course. He was not a sue
cess, however, because on the occasion of
his first race ON foreground the word
go" had just been given when he espied
an unfriendly dog some distance away,
and he bolted the track and overhauled
the object of his chase, and could not be
persuaded to return till he had whipped
him on the spot Young Kinsler gave up
teaching bulldogs, and his next venture
was with a cross between Newtound-
land and bloodhound, which developed
very good speed. 1oung hlnSler, now
ever. had the best success with settlers,
and those that he broke TO harness were
able to go at quite fast clip. He made
a tour OF the country fairs. and was every
where popular attraction. The busl-
ness netted him handsome profits and he
is spending the present winter in training
other dogs to draw in harness. single, in
pairs and a four-in-hand. OF course dog
trotting can be at best a novelty and a
side attraction. The two lads who have
gone into it have done immensely we'll
with the enterprise, but it is field that
can be very easily crowded, and too
much competition will eXtinguish the

Copyright, 1894. by the Associated Press.I
PARIS, Feb. 2S.--A sensation has been
caused in this city and elsewhere by the
appearance of an article in the Figaro, in
which the Gar of Russia, Princess Ma
RE d'Oreans, wife of Prince Waldemar
of Denmark; Count De Beauchamp,
French military attache at Copenhagen;
General Borius, Secretary General and
Chief of the military household of Presi-
dent Carnot, and others play conspicuous
roles.
Some idea of the gravity of the revela-
tions may be gathered from the fact that
Premier Casimir-Perier to-day submit-
ted to President Carnot for his signature
a decree removing Count Dauney, ex-
Minister to Copenhagen, from diplomatic
service, owing to his connection with the
affair.
The revelations are associated with the
FrancO-Russian alliance, and appear to
be, generally speaking, the result of in
trlgues carried on behind the backs of
the Dupuy ministry.
The chief incident mentioned in con-
nectlOn with the revelations is the al
legged attempt to obtain through Princess
Marie d'OTleans an idea of the Cars real
feeling on the scope of the Franco-Rus-
sian alliance. With this object in view,
Captain Beauchamp, it is said, approached
the Princess, telling her of information
required by the French Government, or
rather by President CarnOt. The Prin-
cess, according to the story, is said to
have replied vaguely to the suggestions
OF Captain Beauchamp, who subsequently
handed four written questions to the tav-
orlte OF the Gar, asking the Princess to
try and obtain answers to them. Later
Captain Beauchamp wrote to the Prin-
cess, saying her reply was awaited at
Elysee Palace.
Then, it seems, it occurred to the
Princess that she could not allow the
matter to proceed further without placing
herself in a false position toward the
French Government. and consequently
she sent for the French Minister at
Copenhagen, Count Dauney, and in
formed him that she felt bound not to
leave the Government in the dark in re-
gard to what was going on. The facts
were Immediately communicated TO the
French Government, and it appears that
the Princess was persuaded to give up
the questions.
The Dupuy Cabinet, after a few days
later came TO grief, and when the present
Ministry was formed the French Minis
ter to Denmark Count Dauney, went
to Paris and delivered the documents to
Premier Caslmir Perier, with the result
already told.
in conclusion, it may be mentioned
that Captain Beauchamp has been re-
called from Copenhagen and given a
years leave of absence.

JUDGE LONGS PENSION.

The Injunction Against Lochren is
Granted on Technical Grounds.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Judge Cox Of
the District Supreme Court this morning
granted the injunction asked Tor by Judge
Long of Michigan, to restrain the Com
missioner of Pensions from reducing his
pension from S72 to $50 per month, as the
Commissioner announced he would do.
While Judge Long was granted an in
junction, the opinion Of Judge Cox on
the whole appears adverse to him. The
injunction granted was given on techni-
cal grounds, the Judge stating that he
was of the opinion that the Commissioners
of Pensions had not given the actual
thirty days notice of the suspension or
reduction of the pension required by the
Act of December q. 1898. One Of the
main questions at issue-the power of
the Commissioner of Pensions to review
and revise the action and ruling of his
predecessor-is in favor of Commissioner
Lochren, Judge Cox ruling the Commits
sioner has this power. Judge Long will

WRECK OF THE KEARsARGE.

Continuation of Inquiry Into the Cause
of Her Loss.
NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Inquiry into the
loss of the Kearsarge was continued to-
day.
Lieutenant Lyman, navigator of the
Kearsarge, made the startling assertion
that since the wreck of the Kearsarge he
had reason to believe Roncador Reef
from three to five miles to the westward
of its position as shown on the chart. He
thought this from results of observations
taken twenty minutes before the Kear-
sarge struck, and while camping on the
key observations We're taken by other
officers, with results which confirmed his
calculations. Lieutenant Lyman thought,
however, that the chronometer used in
making observations on the key had
been damaged in taking it ashore. The
chart used was from a survey taken in
1885. and Lieutenant Lyman thought the
methods of taking latitude and longitude
IN those days not as accurate as now.
Lieutenant Lyman was asked some of
the reasons, as he understood them, for
the wreck OF the Kearsarge. "The loss of
the ship,' said he, was due partly to i'm
proper charting, partly TO the currents
setting in an opposite direction from that
anticipated. and partly to our not having
sighted the reef before dark"
This finished Lieutenant Lyman's ex-
inamation, and the court adjourned.
