PRAYER OF RACING MEN.
They Want the New Jersey Legisla-

TRENTON, n. j.. Feb. 16-At the open
ing of the session Of the republican senate
this morning President Rogers presented a
petition signed by Edward Griffin and other
horsemen, in which the senate was petition
ed to reconsider it's action on the race track
bills, so that the many poor horsemen al
Gloucester could save enough to pay their
rents and keep their wives and children
from suffering.
The petition stated that 1t was not the
race tracks that did the harm. He promised
the senator's the prayers of himself ard
fellow ho-semen if they would let the race
track laws alone.
The petition was referred to the demo
cratic senate with the idea that they know
more about race tracks.
The bills repeating the acts under which
the police justices and police commissioners
of Camden, Paterson and Trenton are ap
pointed were passed, and also the bill alb
rogating the licenses of all other race
tracks heretofore granted. The senate ad
journed until Monday next.

made his official report to the company. In
this report the officer says that the rudder
OF the Paris was carried away. or very
when the steamship was about 500 miles to
the westward. The Paris had 1S9 saloon
passengers on board, 116 second-class pas
sengers and $50 steerage passengers.
The officer says that at no time, was
there any serious danger, and that the pas
sengers took the matter coolly wen inform
ed that an accident to the steamship would
neceSsltate her return to Southampton, or
at least to Queenstown. The officers did
everything possible to counterfeit the dis
appointments which number Of the pas
sengers felt at having their journey inter-
rupted, but one and all seemed very glad
that the accident was not of more serious
nature and that there was no fear Of any
thing more than the damage to her ruider.
me officers also reminded the passengers
tnat the Paris was absolutely unsuitable,
as her series of water-tight compartments
were so arranged as to make her absolutely
safe even in case Of a much more serious
disaster
Being twin-screw steamship and jury
rudder, which was of considerable effect.
having been rugged, the Paris was able to
steer in kind of haphazard manner, but
succeeded in reaching Daunt's Rock in
safety.
Captain Randall determined to anchor in
order that he might not expose the disabled
vessel to the chance of being carried, by
the numerous strong currents off the coast,
INTO position of danger. So soon as pos
sibie, one of the lifebOats was manned and
lowered, and boats crew was sent ashore
with instructions to make for the nearest
coastguard station and have the news Of
the accident to the steamship telegraphed
to Queenstown.
The crew was also instructed to report
tnat all were well on board the Paris and
that there Was absolutely no danger of
anything further happening to the steamer
Inc weather is moderate and a pilot has
been sent with the agent to the assistance
of the steamer.
1t Is thought possible that the Paris will
be assisted back so far as this port when
temporary repairs may be made to her rud-
der, and 1t Is believed that she will then
make for Queenstown in order that the re-
pairs may be completed
The disaster to the Paris was caused by
the breaking of the rudder in what is
known as the trunk The Paris is expected
at Queenstown shortly, and it is said that
her passengers will be embarked upon a
Cunard steamship and forwarded to their
destination so soon as possible.
NEW YORK. Feb 16-At the offices of
| the American steamship line the officials
OF that company this morning said they
had received no details Of the mishap to
the Paris, and that the only information
they had on the subject was contained in
short cablegram sent to the maritime ex-
change. The officials, however, said that
no fears need be entertained for the safety
Of the Paris. as she was considered to be
unsuitable.

History of the Bomb ThrOwer Killed
by His own Bomb.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Bourdin, the French
man, supposed to have been an anarchist
who was blown almost to pieces last night
in Greenwich Park, through, it is believed
stumbling and falling upon bottle of ex-
plosive material, which he carried in his
pocket, Is said to have come from Paris to
London in 1888, and to have worked here
with his brother. Bourdin, according to
the police visited all the anarchist clubs
of this city, and became imbued with their
opinions and methods.
In 1891 Bourdn is said to have gone to
the United States, and to have been en-
ployed by a ladies' tailor in Detroit. Ac-
cording to the police, Bourdin after leav-
ing Detroit, returned to Paris, and from
there came to this city. He is said to have
been a trusted organizer of the anarchists,
and the police here expressed the opinion
that Bourdin, when he met his death, was
on his way through Greenwich Park to the
famous Greenwich observatory, with the
Intention of blowing up that institution.
After hearing the explosion in the park
last night, the police on duty about the
observatory found Bourdin kneeling, covered
with blood, his hand and wrist blown away,
a gaping wound in his stomach, and other
wise severely injured.
The wounded man was only able 20 say:
Take me home" He was conveyed to
the Seamen's Hospital, where he died half
an hour afterwards.
card. upon which was the name
"Bourdin," was found in the anarchists
pocket and around the spot where he was
picked up were the fragments of a bottle.
Rourdiu has been watched by the police
for some time past. and it is believed that
he was contemplating some desperate deed.
His sister-in-law says that Bourdin called
upon her yesterday, and that when she
payfuly pushed him. he exclaimed: For
Gods sake, don't push me-
From this it is believed that Bourdin must
have had the explosive in his pocket when
he called upon his sister.
The dead anarchist. 1t has been ascer-
tanned, was frequent speaker at the de-
bates of the Autonomic Club, though his
attendance at the club lately has been less
frequent than before.
It now transpires that Bourdin was seen
yesterday on Hanover square with a COM
panion. They walked together TO White
hall. where Bourdin's companion went
towards the West End. and Rourdin crossed
! Westminster bridge and took a horse cal
| for Greenwich.

JUDGE McCOMAs WILL STAY.
He Has No Intention of ResigninG
to Run for Congress.


Several days ago statements appeared in
a number of the Maryland papers to the
effect that Judge Louis E. McComas of the
District Supreme Court intended resgning
his position on the bench to accept the NOM
ination in the sixth congressional district
of Maryland. While it is regarded by re-
publican leaders as almost certain that the
nomination would be equivalent to an cleo
ton next fall, especially If the nominee
should be Judge McComas whose great
popularity and strength among the people
of the sixth district is acknowledged on
every hand. few people imagined that the
report of Judge McComas' intended resig-
nation was true. AdyiceS from Judge Nc
Comas' district are to the effect that If he
desires the nomination he has only to say
so and he can have IT. The republicans Of
the district say that any man nominated
by them In the district next fall VIII he
elected by at least 1.5oo majority, and they
state that Judge McComas could be elected
by 5000 or more majority.
Today Judge McComas was spoken to by
a Star reporter relative to the report that
he intended resigning to accept the nom
nation, and was asked If there was any
truth in the story. Not a word replied
the judge. shaking his head. Nothing is
further from my purpose" he explained.
when / accepted my present judicial posi-
ton l did so after much elaboration. and
with firm purpose to relinquish political
life and its cares forever. L have found
the position on the bench TO be a most con-
genial one. My life here is most delightful
and l have not the slightest desire to again
assume the duties and cares Of a political
life. My friends in my old congressional
district tell me that could have he nomi-
nation next fall If / would only say the
word. and 1 feel assured that L, or any
other nominee of the republican party
then, could be elected by a handsome ma
jority; but. as 1 have told them, L have no
desire or intention of resigning my position
on the District bench. Now, l wish The
Star would say this for me, that my good
friends in the sixth district and elsewhere
could know just how l feel in the matter.
No man could fail to be highly flattered by
the assurances l have received from the
people of my old district, and while l Geep-
ly appreciate the compliment paid me,

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. Lett has

York Theater, committed suicide last Octo-
Der by taking carbolic acid and shooting

SPECIAL GOVERNMENT COUNSEL.
More Money Needed by the Depart
meut of Justice for That Purpose.

More Money Needed by the Depart
meut of Justice for That Purpose.
The Pacific railroad litigation and various
other suits in which the government is in
terested have directed the attention of the
House committee on appropriations to the
meager amount allowed the Department of
Justice for the employment of special coun-
sell The railroads and other private inter
ests retain the ablest lawyers in the coun-
try, but such special counsel is retained
by the government must be brought within
a rate which few lawyers of standing will
accept.
While Mr.. Miller was Attorney General
the fund for employing special counsel was
$4,000 annually. 1t was reduced to $2O,0OO
last year. and 1T stands at that sum in the
sundry civil appropriation bill recently re-
ported to the House. The Attorney General
is obliged to spread this $4,000 over the
entire country and through an entire year.
1t has been found that the total was so
small that no retainer beyond $500 was
warranted. 1t has been urged to members
of the committee that counsel of sufficient
ability to manage the vast interests involv
ed could not be secured for s., 500. One of
the officials of the Department of Justice
recently talked unofTicially with members
of the committee as to the need of a larger
special fund, and ii is probable that the
Attorney General Will authorize an official
request for an advance in the appropria-
ton.
The proposition for an advance may be
opposed In the committee on the ground
that the regular legal officers of the govern
ment should attend to government litga-
/ ton. without the employment of outside
counsel But to this answer is made that
the Pacific railroad litigation and other i'm
portant suits demand that the government
should have legal array equal at least to
those representing private interests. While
the theory is admitted that government at
: torheys should manage government suits,
II Is said that the application of this theory
/ TO important suits will seriously cripple the
government side of cases involving many
millions
