New York, May 24.-For five days
the Gravesend track has been a sea Of
mud, and the 5000 persons who
were there today were thoroughly IN
comfortable in the driving rain. 1t was
a most despairing day, and even the at
traction of the Brooklyn derby could
not induce a large attendance. The
chief event was the derby, and of the
six colors on the card st. Maxim and
Hornpipe declined the issue. There
was wild plunge on Sir Excess and he
was finally made the favorite with
Assignee second choice. Dobbins was
neglected, except by those who thought
he was not up to his proper form in
his other races and at the close
Assignee and Excess were about
equally favored.
The start was prompt and good and
Assignee took the lead with Dobbins
beside him. Sir Excess was getting the
mud behind and was soon completely
out of it, AS the turn into the stretch
was reached, Sir Excess gave it up and
then Dobbins took a few long strides
and was soon in the lead.
From that time on it was pro-
ceSSion and DobblnS won IN common
canter from Assignee, with Sir Excess
beaten off.
In the Clover stakes for FLIES Ridi-
cule took the lead at once and the race
was never in danger. Summaries:

cided The guaranteed $1,000 went to an
to l outsider, Service, who won in a
drive. Ethel Gray and Maid Marian

stretch, but at that point Service, with
Jordan up, and Ray S, moved into line

field, finishing half length before

DEBATE ON THE BUDGET BILL.
Governments Victory Received with
Liberal Cheers

Governments Victory Received with
Liberal Cheers.
London, May 24-The debate in the
commons on the budget bill, which was
expected in some quarters to prove the
downfall of Lord Rosebery's ministry.
was opened this afternoon with a gun
fred by Sir. John Lubbock, liberal
unlonist. who moved that the budget
committee be empowered to divide the
pudget Dill into two parts. and to en-
pody the provisions respecting the sink
ing fund in different manner.
Sir William Harcourt said the OBJ
1ect OF the motion was to revert to a
system by which the house of lords
would be able to overthrow financial
measures emanating from the house of
commons This system had already
been condemned by Disraeli and Pal
merston. and by the committee of the
mouse OF commons. cloud cheers }
Another reason for Sir Lubbock's mo-
ton was to waste the time of the house
oy involving it in two bills and two
separate statements from the commit
tee and in two thirds readings. AT the
present time. also there were special
seasons why the commons should pre-
serve absolute control of the finances
of the country.
Mr.. Goschen and several minor con-
servatives supported the motion, after
which a division was taken with the
result that it was objected to by a
vote Of 161 to 121. The announcement
of the governments victory was greet
ed with prolonged liberal cheers.
Later, two other conservative in
structions to the budget committee
were ruled out of order. and the house
went into committee of the whole amid
renewed liberal cheering.

FAv0Rs TEMPERANCE.
Against the Use of Both Tobacco and
Whisky

Eugene, ogn.. May 24-In the Cum
berland general assembly today, the
report of the committee on temperance
was very strong and spoke decidedly
against the use of tobacco as well as
intoxicants. and against the license
law. and against the government re-
ceiving tax on any of these articles.
The assembly was divided upon the
real meaning of a non-federal tax on
intoxicat ting liquors, some asserting
that it meant free whisky, and others
temperance. The report was adopted.
Rev Elmer E. Thompson was ap-
pointed UNCONVENTIONAL secretary in
Oregon and Washington. The matter
of federation was again brought up,
the vote was taken and resulted
against federation.
A resolution appointing a committee
of five to present the matter. of fedora

Lazarrone wins at Latonin.

Cincinnati, May 24.-The Latonia
spring meeting opened very auspi-
ciously, before crowd of 5000 specta-
tors under 4 fair sky. The track was
deep with mud and full of puddles.
Fast time was utterly impossible The
card was a poor one, but, nevertheless,
proved very satisfactory to the talent,
as four strong favorites, one second
and third choice proved equal to the
mud and won.
The Derby, worth $500, of which
$3.50 went to the winner. was taken
by LaZZarone in easy style. There
were originally six horses entered, but
Sigurd and Noah were scratched, leav-
ing only four horses to face the flag.
After some fiddling about at the post,
Starter Pettingin dropped the flag to a
struggling start, Lazzarone leading by
a length, Pearl Song second, two
before 'Selika. Before the first quarter
was passed, all four horses were
abreast, hardly half length separat-
ing them. Passing the stand, Pearl
Song led the bunch by a neck, fol-
lowed by Lazzarone with his mouth
wide open, under a double wrap. En-
tering the third quarter Lazzarone
darted into the lead, and headed the
group to the mile, where Williams, on
Pearl Song, rode desperately to catch
the leader. But LaZZarone showed no
signs of exhaustion and swept into the
stretch two lengths in front of Pearl
Song.
The other horses were manifestly out
of the race, and staggering through
the mire a dozen lengths behind. Lag
zarone galloped under the wire two
lengths ahead Of Pearl Song. Selika,
| two lengths behind, took third money.

A BOOM IN JERUSALEM.
A Railroad is Completed to That
Ancient City.


Soon after the completion of the jana
Jerusalem railroad, a regular Kansas real
estate boom started in Jerusalem and is
still on. When the Haifa-Damascus rail
way is completed. Damascus will no doubt
have its boom, and those who want to get
gilt-edged property cheap had better at
once open negotiations with Syrian real
estate agents Railroads and real estate
booms seem 70 go hand in hand in the far
east as well as in Kansas.
Damascus is a great commercial center
with 5000 population, and the only We
picle for transportation now is the camel.
The great quantities of grain now carried
to the seaboard for shipment are handled
in this way At present the annual ship
ment of wheat from Haifa is about $780,,
900 bushels Nearly all of this is taken to
Austria and France, and while 100000
bushels is small compared with the pro-
duction in America, the railroad will even
tually be extended from Damascus to
India which is real competitor of Amer
lea in the wheat business.
The road will have a terminus at Aka
and one at Haifa- These double terlnini
v ere one of the stipulations of the sultan
when he granted the concessions. Aka
is to be used for military purposes, and
Haifa will be the trading terminus Con-
struction was commenced at the latter
port Both ports will require improved
harbor accommodations as q consequence
of the influx Of vessels of great tonnage
that may reasonably be expected when the
railway is in operation.

Through Vaccination.
The Sultan of Turkey is grieving over
the sudden death of twelve of the most
beautiful women of the imperial harem
at Constantinople. A few weeks ago the
167 wives of his majesty. were obliged to
submit to vaccination. Peculiar cere-
monies were observed at the time. The
physician asked to inject the virus in the
arms of the lovely women was young

course, says correspondent, he was not
allowed to look upon the faces of the
imperial women. To prevent all posi-
bility of an accident so terrible a temper

rooms of the palace. About two feet from
the floor a hole was bored about four
inches in diameter. The women of the
harem took their places on one side OF the
wall and the doctor on the other. one

eunuchs and high officer of state stood

placed her arm in the aperture. In this
way the physician saw the arms of l67
women, supposed to be the most beautiful
in Turkey, but the face of none. Unfor-
