A Decision Against Lady Somerset.

London, August LIN the chancery
court this afternoon Justice Schitty de-
cided the case against Lady Henry Som
erset, who sought to refuse the renewal
of license for the sale of liquor in a ho-
tel situated upon her estate in Reigat
The justice informed the lady she must
not allow her personal opinions to affect
her actions in her fiduciary capacity
as she was merely holding her estate as
a tenant for the defendant, and decided
that the license should be renewed. In
asmuch as she acted in good faith the
court would allow her costs.

ESPECIAL TO THE PRESS.1
Old Orchard, August 1.-The Kite track
has at last struck run of good luck.
Along with this afternoons sunshine
came fair sized crowd of sightseers and
members OF the sportling fraternity, who
were given the value of their contribution
in thirteen we'll contested heats and some
fine exhibition riding.
1t was decidedly day of favorites. the
prophesy of the winner manners being in
every case fulfilled. First the 23 trot,
unfinished from Tuesday afternoon, was
taken care of. Candidate, with the open
ingiheat to his credit showed the way
around the Kite twice again, being
followed in the final heat by only Bird.
Simmons, the others having all been shut
out. Gloria and Norland Wilkes in the
first heat, and Spendthrift in the second.
Jere O'Neil drove the favorite with so
fine hand that he was never headed,
yet was not forced to his record. He did
a mile at Mystic last week in 2. 16 Ia, but
his best heat in this race was 8 3-4
seconds slower.
The q 10 trot belonged to the gamey
little Boston mare Wistful, though
Protein came into the contest today with
the honor OF trst heat-Wlnner. They
were all good heats, but Hi litter had
speed up his sleeve every time he came
down under the wire 1t was hot work
with his rivals, sorting out the next
| highest position. Fred Wilkes managed
to get couple Of twos and thus captured
third money. The last heat in this race
was the best in the lot but that was not
down as low Interpretation went.
Maud P, gray mare owned by f. T.
Carroll of Elmira, N. Y. had the call
among the four contestants in the g.
pace. 1t was she who took second money
in a six heat race at Mystic last week,
and got mark of 2.14 IA. She had to
do even better than that today in order
to capture the three consecutive heats In
her class. Her last mile was covered in
2. IA fiat. Paul Clifford, who had been
regarded with more or less favor, pushed
the mare to this fast clip.
Of the eight starters in the 218 trot,
Nutshell was considered the good thing.
1t was she who beat out the 2.24 trotters
at Mystic and got a mark of g 1884. She
is owned by her driver, E. r. Bowen of
New York, who was out for the purse,
but was somewhat chagrined when he
found hung out, after the final heat, a
new mark of 2. Scranton Belle, who
took the first heat out from under the
IdFoflbo 5 hose, won SocOHudnOHey bnofe-
by. but was counted among the trailers in
each of the succeeding heats.

The Raleigh Ordered to Take the
Place of the Atlanta.
Secretary Herbert today cabled Admiral
Meade at Port of Spain, Trinidad, detach-
iEg from his fleet the cruiser Raleigh and
directing that she be sent at once to Colon,
on the Isthmus of Panama. The Atlanta,
which was stationed at this place to guard
American interests during the progress of
the revolution. has been sent to Boca del
Toro, a port in Costa Rica, just on the
boundary line between that country and
Colombia, where a party Of revolutiorists
is reported to have landed, and Secretary
Herbert feels that it is necessary to replace
her at Colon. where the United States in
terests are very important, by another ves-
sci, hence the orders to the Raleigh. 1t
was at first contemplated to send the Ra-
leigh directly to Boca del Toro, but in view
of the fact that the distance from that
place to Trinidad, where the vessel Is at
present, Is about 100 miles. 1t was con-
cluded to send instead the AtiSnta, which
was distant only about q hundred miles,
leaving the Raleigh to take her station at
Colon
The latest advices from Colombia are of
a warlike character and have caused con-
siderable concern for the large American
interests near Panama and at Boca del
Tcro Trouble Is imminent at the last
named port The United States has greater
interests there than is generally supposed,
the trade in fruit exports averaging $40,-
600 a month.

THE WASHINGTON GUN SHOP.
The Failure of Appropriations Will
Cause 1T to Shut Down.

The Failure of Appropriations VIII
Cause 1T to Shut Down.
1t is expected that the gun shop at the
navy yard in this city will shut down next
September, throwing eighty or ninety men
out of employment The shop is only run
ming about one-third of it's full complement
of men now, on account of the work slack
ing up but all of the work of this shop will
be finished by the time indicated. This
state of affairs will be the result of the
failure of Congress to provide more work
for the shop in the naval appropriation bill
The other shops in the ordnance estab-
lishment at the navy yard will continue
operations for some time longer than Sep
tember, but with gradually decreasing
force the work is finished. 1t will re-
quire about eighteen months time to finish
the gun mounts now in course of construc-
ton.
There are forty finch guns and sixteen
S-inch guns yet to be built, but the forgings
for them have not arrived. When the forG-
ings are ready. it will require six months
labor TO finish the guns. One effect of the
failure of the appropriation will be to in
crease the cost of the work. This is
brought about by the fact that certain
skilled labor will have to be employed and
kept under full pay without being furnished
full occupation. For instance the men
who ASSEMBLE the guns could handle two
or three in the time that they will handle
ore, thus increasing the cost of that gun.

Japanese to Occupy the Treaty Port
of New Chang.

Japanese to Occupy the Treaty Port
of New Chang.
Secretary Herbert has received the fol-
lowing cablegram from Admiral Carpenter,
commanding the United States naval forces
on the Asiatic station, dated New Chang,
March &:
THE Japanese general has notified for
eigners of his intention to occupy this port.
All contingencies provided for"
New Chang is one Of the treaty ports on
the gulf Of Pechili above Port Arthur.
Early In the winter the United States gun
boat Petrol was stationed there and as the
season closed and the river became ice
bound she was placed in a mud dock along
side of an English man-of-war, to protect
her from the ice when the spring freshets
came down. She was r0ofed in and machine
guns were placed so as to command the ap-
proaches to the vessel, which was, in fact,
transformed for time into a fortress to
serve as place of refuge for the foreign
ers who live in the vicinity.
The town has been occupied by the Chi
nese as one of the bases of army operations
against the invading Japanese, and from
Admiral Carpenters advices 1t appears that
the latter, reinforced by the troops from
Wei-Hai-Wei, have at length managed to
occupy the place, which is one Of the first
of the treaty ports to fall into Japanese
hands.

GREAT BRITAIN AND vENEzuEL.
Ambassador Baynrd to BE Instructed
to Suggest Arbitration

Ambassador Bnynrd to BE Instructed
to Suggest Arbitration.
Secretary Gresham is about to instruct
Ambassador Bayard to urge upon Great
Britain an adjustment of the iong-pendinp
trouble between Venezuela and British
Guiana and to suggest arbitration of the
question. This action is in pursuance to a
recent resolution of Congress. The result
with much interest owing to the reports
from Venezuela that the trouble has
reached critical stage and that both sides
are massing troops in the disputed territory
lying between them.
Mr.. Bayard is well equipped for this ne
gotiation, as he was Secretary of State in
1887, when the United States first made an
offer to Great Britain to act as arbitrator
The offer was courteous!y declined. At the
same time Venezuela broke off all diplo-
matte relations with Great Britain and
these have not since been restored Mr.
as it was felt that British aggression on
South American soil came dangerously near
an invasion of the Monroe doctrine Mr..
Blaine's efforts also failed, and the status
has remained unchanged until the recent
reports of hostilities and the determinat ton
of this government to make a final effort
toward concluding negotiations.
In the event Of Great Britains accepting
the suggestion of arbitration it is believed
President Cleveland would be designated
as the arbitrator. The fact that arbitration
has once been rejected does not incline Of
ficials and diplomats to conclude that Mr..
Bayard's present efforts are hopeless, as
his familiarity with the subject will permit
him to make a strong personal presenta-
ton of the case to Lord Kimberly.
