KENTUCKY DERBY.
Chant Easily GalIOped Away From
His Field.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 15.-Over Is. 600
people assembled at Churchill Downs to-
day to see the contest for the twentieth re-
newal of the Kentucky Derby Although
this race has steadily deprecated in i'm
portance as turf event for several years,
the honor of taking the trophy is still
keenly competed for by the Kentucky
breed eTs, as it is regarded as the highest
test of thorough bred colt to take up 1872
pounds over a mile and a half in racing
time at the beginning of the season, and
frequently the winner and many of the
participants are broken down and end
their turf career as result of the prepa-
ration Tor and participation in the race.
Long before noon the free field was
packed with the nondescripts who, in ac-
cordance with old Kentucky racing GUS
toms, take a holiday on this occasion.
The smart thunder shower at noon had no
effect upon this element. 1t probably i'm
proved the track, laying the dust and
leaving it In good condition. as the time
made in other events on to-day's card in
dicates.
Lexington, the bluegrass capital, had
sent no local champion here to contend
for the blue ribbon and turf stakes, but as
The Falsetto colt Chant came from
Lexington to this course they supported
him as against a good LOuisville-trained
horse rather than be without a champion.
This SUPPORT. and the fact that practical
turfmen who look at racing as a business
and not from a sentimental standpoint
favored horse who had already run and
won against unknown quantities who had
not faced the flag save in their twC-year-
old form, all this made Chant a pr0hib-
tive favOrite, and the result of the race
showed the wisdom of the judgment of the
many, as Chant "won all the way" as be
pleased, and might have easily disposed of
much better field than he met to-day.
Pat Scoggans' colt. while of good enough
quality to have made the race interesting,
was Withdrawn on account of a split-off
sustained IN exercising.
The horses got away at the second
break, Tom EImOre making the most OF
running start and showing half dozen
lengths in the van for the first quarter.
when Pearl Song took up the running and
showed the way to the stand Here Chant
drew up with the bunch and was in front
for tbs run up the baekstretch, and run.

COMPARATIVE REVENUE.
Rates Fixed by the New Bill as
Against the Existing Rates.

WAsHINGT ON, May Ex-senator VOor-

One Of the curious facts connected
with the pension list is ia the statement
that now, nearly thirty years after the
civil war, 100000 more persons are get
ting pensions than there were troops Isl
the field on the Union side at any single
time dnring the war. Yet there are 7OO,-
90 applications for pensions set to be
acted upon In June, 1898, the pension
roll had 966, ,012 names, and7ll, $50 claims
were pending. The outgo for pensions
was Sl5S, l55. .3I2, fignFe which exceeds
all the pensions paid by all the nations
in the world for their wars.
As the Baltimore SaH puts it, if we
capitalize our pension payments we find
that we are in effect paying interest Oh a
bounded debt equal to the true valuation
Of all the property in the seeded states ia
1861, which was some 6, 600, coo, 600. Tho
war cost some 5000, ,00O,OO pensions
since have cost 81, ,50O,O00,O00. II woulf
haEe been economical to have settled thu
differences. of 1861 on cash basis.
