An English cont temporary in COM
menting on the Middle Park plate won
by st. Frusquin, says that one of the
most satisfactory features is that the
weights are arranged on a high scale,
enabling the finest horsemen of the
day TO ride. Thus, when T. Loates,
first jockey to the Palace House stable,
was Claimed for Knight of the Thistle,
Leopold de Rothschsld was able to fall
back upon f. Pratt for st. Frusquin,
to which fact was due, in no small
measure. the colts success. Pratt rode
a beautiful race. st. Frusquin being the
first of the three placed horses to show
signs of firing, yet with such magnifi-
cent courage did he struggle on, as
sisted by all the Skill of a master of
the art of jockeyShfp, that he gradual

nephew of Fred Archer, and was by
him taught to ride when a very little
boy. Though only 10 years old when
his mentor died, he retains many of
the famous Jockeys mannerisms and
characteristics. and ITO those early les
sons may probably be traced much of
the finish. science and excellence so
noticeable in the Middle Park plate
race.

NEW WEIGHING DEVICE

To be Put in the stockyards at kansas
City.
The Trans Missouri Freight associa-
ton has set January 1, 1896, as the date
on which the change in the method of
charging for live stock takes effect and
after that date all live stock viii be
charged for by the one hundred pounds.
This change will necessitate the putting
in of a Streator -Amett weighing device
at Kansas City. and suitable aud con-
venient location has been decided upon
in the yards at that point
This device is owned and controlled by
the Railroad Weighing company. and is
at present in use at St. Louis and Chica-
go. proving highly satisfactory, the
weight of the cars being registered by
an electric apparatus as they pass over
the platform of the scale.
As the exact weight OF each car will
be sscsrtained in this manner by the
train passing over the scale platform at a
moderate speed, no time Will be lost or
extra labor incurred, as was the case il
the old manner OF weighing cars.
c. r. Hudson, assistant general freight
agent of the Santa Fe, stated that the
proposed method would prove much
more satisfactory TO all concerned, az at
present a consignor pays for an entire
car if only partially used, whereas if
charged by the one hundred pounds he
pays only for what he ships.

ONCE.
The report that the Union Pacific
would make a change in time to go in
effect November 1, which with cores
pouding change on the Northwestern
railway would lessen the time between
Chicago and Ogden eight hours, and the
Central Pacific schedule being also ma
terially shortened. would allow their
train to reach the Pacific coast two hours
ahead of the new Santa Fe limited train
No 8, appears to be unfounded.
j. B. Frawley, general agent of the
Union Pacific system with headquarters
at Kansas City, who was in the city on
business yesterday, stated that while it
would be possible for the Union Pacific
10 reach the coast several hours ahead of
the Santa Fee, he did not think it was the
present intention of the road to make a
change of time in that regard, and that
all that had been done so far was to dis
cuss the advisability OF such move.
If such a change was made in the
Union Pacific time it would be necessary
for that company to re-establish their
''plug" train between Topeka and Kan
sas City, which was taken off about a
year ago, the through trains running on
a schedule which would make it impossi-
BILE for them to handle local business.

ritory than you have. Now, as to trade,
here is the important truth: Venezuela
has not yet 4,0O0,O 600 people, but the
whole nation is virgin soil for Us and
especially for the manufacturers of the
central south. In what lines? Why,
first N everything that we can make
out of wood-furniture of all kinds,
agricultural implements, all sorts Of
household cOnveniences and many other
articles. She also needs and will soon
earnestly desire many of our manufac-
lures in metal The point to be noted is
that the northern states Of South Amer
lea are not manufacturing countries, and
will not be for long time, and yet
they have advanced far enough to know
their need for our products. And Vene-
zuela i'll particular is eager to trade
with US. Her people buy of Europe with
a sort of reluctance. Now is our golden
opportunity. L am afraid to say how
big q trade we could get in time. It
should run far into the hundreds of
millions. -
Is your supply Of hard wood timber
sufficient"
''Oh yes. The native forests of tho
south are lot depleted as are those of
the north. East Tennessee has an i'm
mense resource of good timber, includ-
ing the finest oaks in the world. We call
them English oaks, and they now havo
a process Of turning the oak dark SO it
is an exact likeness Of the famous bog
oak. But great as our resources are in
that line they cannot last always, and
as rapidly as possible we must devise
substitutes. Our southern manufactur-
ers have great advantages in suiting the
demands of South America. There is q
great deal Of wealth in Venezuela
some very wealthy men-yet it is q very
new and sparsely settled country, it's
vast resources barely touched as yet.
Why, there is one region very rich in
gold which has been totally neglected
because it is so far from the coast and
transportation was expensive. Now they
are opening it. There is such a variety
in the climate, due to elevation, that
no one of those countries can be de-
scribed as a whole At Bogota, for in
stance, it is seldom uncomfortably warm
and never very cold.
The Colored Race.
''I noticed one curious fact, which at
first misled me as to the future of our
! cOlOfeu people. Ou the cCaSG lOWlanQS
and in the low river valleys down there
| Spaniards, Indians and negroes have
mixed indiscriminately, and the result
is a population-well, 1 hope little for
their future. On the interior highlands,
however, the negro disappears, and there
the union of Spaniard and Indian has
produced a fire race Some Of the best
men I know are of that race. Now,
once concluded that some such mixture
as in those lowlands would take place
| in our bayou and low coast region,
where the negroes are so numerous, but
it will not. The Anglo Saxon is not
like the Spaniard or even the French
man. He will not mix with any dark
race, and he will rule. Whatever they
may say to the contrary, am certain
that miscegenation has ceased, though
the Ang1o-Saxon blood already infused
will be distributed through the whole
race-that is, these mixed bloods viii
be absorbed by the negroes. And, what's
more. all the south viii be ruled abso-
