Popularity of steeplechasinp.

''Steeplechasing is growing in popularitv
all the time in the United States" said w
G. Hayes, a well-known gentleman rider
of Westbury, L. l., at the Arlington. "The
sport will have tremendous boom this
season in the vicinity of New York because
of the check on fiat racing through the
prohibitive gambling laws. People flock to
steeplechase for the love of it, and it does
tract large crowds. The press has. if any-
thing, rather tended to prejudice the pub.
lie against this form of racing and has
persistently magnifed its dangers. when
the truth is that serious accidents are rareI
in the jumping than in ordinary races. -

DECLINE IN COTTON.
Senator George Submits u Report on the
Question.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-During the Fifty
second Congress the Senate Committee on
Agriculture and Forestry was authorized
by the Senate to make an inquiry upon the
existing depression in farm products, and
Senators George, Bate and Proctor were
selected as a subcommittee to take in hand
the portion of the inquiry concerning the
depressed price of cotton. The testimony
taken was reported to-day to the Senate by
George.
To ascertain the financial condition OF
producers of cotton the committee adj
dressed a circular containing inquiries to
q large number of farmers and merchants
in each of the cotton States. The report
has demonstrated that with the price
prevailing in the years 1891-92-93 in nearly
every part of the cotton-producing region,
the cost of production equaled, if it did not
exceed, the value of the cotton raised, a
condition that applied even to the small
farmers who raised their cotton by their
own labor, and the conditions have since
grown worse instead of better.
The committee concludes that while
there is no restitution, there is little accu-
mutation, and enterprise fails under pres
ent adverse conditions to make that steady
and sure progress to which, until now, the
people have been accustomed. The result
has been to produce widespread discomfort
among cotton producers and a disposition
to discredit their oft-time conservative
methods and to induce too ready accept
ance of plausible theories for relief.

the Legislature for his election.
1t was narrow escape from deadlock,

George w. Mcbride. Senator-elect, is Al

question he is uncommitted.
Mr.. Mcbride has never been identified

much as he was elected by Mr.. Dolph' sup

Experience of Captain Hansford Near the
Chinese Coast.

Chinese Coast.
Captain T. J. Hansford of the British
mercantile marine, who is returning to
England, arrived last night on the Gaelic,
after landing valuable shipload of NUM-
tons of war at the port of Iokosuka, near
Yokohama, for the japanese Government.
He sailed from Bremen in the steamer
Metapedia, by way of the Suez canal, mar
rowly escaping from a Chinese cruiser in
the Straits of Sunda after an exciting
chase of two days. The Government at
Picking had learned of her mission and a
number of torpedo-boats were laying for
the rich prize in the China Sea.
They sighted the steamer and closing in
on her would easily have effected her cap
ture, but the breeze suddenly increasing
to the usual typhoon of those waters sep
arated the vessels and she safely reached
her destination. Her cargo consisted of
seven 25-ton and five Seton guns, a large
number of quick-fring machine guns, tor
pedoes and torpedo gear.

his pride in representing the youngest re-

figures showing the magnitude and the
growth of commerce in the Pacific Ocean.
Not a vessel, he said, could go across the

means of establishing closer relations with
Hawaii was by building the proposed
cable This he earnestly advocated.

Feminine Vanity.

Some fuss has been made at Mannheim
about well-known old lady resident, Frau
Sophie ,Brechter, having completed her
nunoretn year. Letters of congratulation
waited upon her in body with an adj
dress, and even the German Empress sent
her portrait and autograph signature.
The old lady, however, still preserves
enough of feminine vanity to feel quite an
noyed at these attentions. She declares
she is only 49, a figure at which, according
to reliable witnesses, she has stood for
twelve years past.-London Daily News.

DANA WILL Be ARRESTED.
ACCUSED OF LIBELING A WELL
KNOWN WASHINGTON
JOURNALIST.
EDITORIAL COMMENT CLAIMED TO
BE WITHOUT SHADOW OF
JUSTIFICATION.

New YORK, Feb. GA Washington
special to the World this morning says
that Frank B. Noyes, business manager of
the Evening Star of this city, and one of
the most prominent and popular young
men in Washington, announced this even
ing that he had telegraphed his lawyers in
New York to have Charles A. Dana, editor
of the New Y ork Sun, arrested for criminal
libel. The Sun this morning printed a
long editorial attacking the management
of the Associated Press, in the course of
which was a sentence rejecting on Mr.
Moves. This attack on the latter created a
sensation here. No one stands higher in
Washington than he, either in business or
society circles. Noyes acted promptly. In
the Evening Star tonight the leading edi-
torial article concluded with these words {:
"For this malicious personal libel, COM
mltted without a shadow of Justification,
the Sun shall be made to suffer if there is
any virtue in criminal law in New York :"
In accordance with this Mr. Moves had
early telegraphed to New York for counsel,
but could not conduct negotiations on ac-
count of the holiday. His case will prop
ably be conducted by General Swayne.
The matter will be taken up in the morn
ing, and the papers will be prepared. On
Sunday Mr.. Noyes will go to New York
and finish preparations for the prosecution
of his criminal suit.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The Washington
News, United Press paper, and the even
ing Stars opponent in the afternoon field,
says this afternoon editorially that Mr..
Dana OF the New York Sun weakens his
attack on the Associated Press, when he
makes personal attack on the honesty of
Frank B. Moves.
