A Case Against Patchen and Sentry
for Breach of Contract.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.--The semi-annual
meeting of theBoard of Review of the
American Trotting Association opened
this morning at the Auditorium hotel
and will be in session all the week and
may run over into next week. There
are 210 eases on the dock for hearing.
Probably the leading case before the
board is that of tn charge of the Lin
coin Association against John II. Gen
try, j. +. Taylor and Joe Patchen for
violating an exhibition contract.
Much of the morning session was os-
cupied in arguments on the Patchen-
Gentry case. The object of the pro-
ceedings is not to recover damages,
but an endeavor on the part of the
Lincoln Association to have the two
famous horses ruled off the turf.
John G. Taylor, the owner of Joe
Patchen and j. +. Scott, owner of John
r. Gentry, were both present and
stated that it had been impossible for
them to have their horses at Lincoln
at the time agreed.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3. Comment
ing on the Presidents message, eN-
Speaker Crisp said: Il heard with
some surprise and great regret that
part of the message relating to our fl
nances. That relief is needed no one
doubts. That it can be found i'm the
direction indicated i'm the message,
don't believe. The President makes as
strong an argument as can be made
in favor of the single gold standard,
but / don't think he fairly states the
case. He announces throughout his
message that our obligations are pay
able in gold. There is no law on the
statute book justifying this assump-
ton. All bonds, Treasury notes and
other obligations of the United States
are payable in coin, that is gold and
silver of the present standard of
weight and fineness and if the Treasu-
ry would exercise the option which the
law and contract gives of paying in
that metal most convenient to it our
difficulties would be less. am oppOs-
ed to the retirement of the greenbacks

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-The Senate
plunged into real business TO-DAY.
Naturally the Presidents message at
tracted the main attention of the day,
but aside from this there were stirring
resolutions on the Monroe Doctrine
and the Cuban rebellion, and after that
the usual deluge of bills and resolu-
tions running far up into the hundreds
The message was given the closest
attention from all quarteds Of the
Chamber. At its conclusion, Mr.
Lodge, Of massachusetts, offered a
resolution, vigorous in terms, reaf-
firming the Monroe Doctrine, and pre-
senting it i'm such form as to per-
nit its enactment as a permanent
law, rather than an expression of the
policy advocated by President Monroe.
IN the same line was resolution by
Mr.. Cullom, Illinois, and another by
Mr.. Allen, PopuIist, Nebraska
The Cuban situation received atten-
tion from both the Florida Senator's,
,lr. Call affirming a resolution for the
recognition of the insurgents as belli-
gerents and Mr.. Pasco presenting reso-
lutions from the city council Of Tampa
and st. Augustine, Florida, expressive
of the feeling for recognition of the
insurgents. The Call resolution will
be called up tomorrow, so that Cuba
and the Monroe Doctrine will receive
early attention, aI,hough the purpose
is to afford opportunity for an express
sion of views rather than for an i'm
mediate vote.
At the brief executive session the
nominations of Mr.. Olney as Secretary
of State. anu Mr. Harmon as Attorney
General were confirmed. as that of

B SHORT SESSION IN THE HOUSE
WASHINGTON. d. c.. December a.
The session Of the House to-day was
very brief and was consumed entirely
by the reading Of the Presidents mes
sage. 1t was listened to with fair at
tention but the features of the docu-
ment received no sign either of ap-
proyal or disapproyal from the mem
bers until the conclusion of the read
ing when several Democrats created a
slight demonstration.
When it was finished the House inn
mediately adjourned until Friday.
