It Came just In Time to Make NJ. X. q
Spanish Minister.
The writer of "Secrets In SPAIN
tells in the pages of The New Review
how ministers were sometimes made
under the regime eff Queen Isabella Of
Spain. Perhaps the most remarkable
instance is that Of a man who was made
minister for sneezing.
The story is as follows: M. x. had
gone one day to pay casual visit to
one Of his friends. To his surprise he
found his friend very much occupied.
Excuse me, said he, but am very
busy today But if you have nothing to
do come along with me. where are
you going9" II have been summoned
to the palace. They set off together.
At the palace one was conducted to the
presence of the queen, while the other
waited in the anteroom. There was
lengthy sitting in the queens cabinet,
a new ministry being in course of for
nation.
1t was very cold and drafty in the an
teroom, and the man who was waiting
began to grow very inpatient, as he felt

FAI1 MEETING OPENED.
Weather Delightful for the Kentucky
 Breeders' Tfots.

Lexington, Ky, Oct. S.-The fall meet ing of the Kentucky Horse Breeders association opened here to-day. The weather was delightful and a shower last night had put the track in excel lent condition and laid the dusts The lucky Futurity for the three-year-old trotters, the first money of which amounted to $17,250, the second horse to pull down $3,000, the third $1,000 and the nominator of the dam of the win ner another thousand.
 Seven of the pick of the years young sters scored for the word, the talent making Shadow the favorite. Major McDowell's Impetus carried considera- ble money and was probably a second choice up to the second heat of the race Colonel Stoner's Oakland Baron, the winner of the event, was not con- sidered fit for the occasion and last night and early this morning sold with Larabie last.
 In the first heat the judges decided that Katrine Bell and Oakland had fin ished on even terms and declared it a dead heat In the second heat Shadow got off first.
 Oakland Baron took up the lead be- fore the quarter was reached, Impetus coming in for second position. Oak land Baron finished first by five lengths, Impetus second and Scourene thi' |. In the third heat Milan again sent Oak land Baron out, winning all :he way by five lengths, Scourene second and Inn petuous third
 In the fourth and final heat Oakland Baron again led all the way, leading Scourene under the wire by two lengths,
 Boreal third. There were few persons who did not believe Oakland Baron
 won the first heat.
 The other good race on the card
 was the Tennessee Derby for 2.11 pac-
 CTS Star Pointer was a strong favor ite and won in three straights after
 dropping the first heat to Frank Agan.
 The best time was 2:05.5, which is the fastest heat ever made in a race over this track.
 The 2:17 trot was not finished on ac-
 count of darkness, Roetta Soap Isa-
 bella mad Bad Actcr each having won
 heats.

ArFEcrED BY WEArHER,
The Cold Had Great Effect on the Con
 Vention,

Minneapolis, Oct. S-The cold weather effected a marked change in the atten- dance at the house of deputies this morning, and 1t was after 10 o'clock be- fore the session opened. After the pre- llminary formalities the committee on changes in the constitution submitted a report unfavorable to the proposed amendment, whereby 1t was proposed to substitute the word constitutions for that of constitution, and asked to be discharged The report Of the commit tee was adopted.
 MT. Elliott of the same committee submitted a report upon the resolution by Judge Fairbanks the intent of which was to authorize any diocese to set aside part of it's territory as a mission. This report was also unfavor- able.
 Dr. Samuel Hart, custodian of the Standard Book of Common Prayer sub mitted, through pr. Huntington, long printed report relating to the new standard and calling attention to sever- al typographical inaccuracies Among other statements contained in the re- port was one to the effect that 100000 copies of the book had been printed from the new standard.
 A resolution was adopted at the lasr general convention and providing that the name assistant bishop" be changed to bishop coadjutor, wher- ever it occurs in the prayer book, was brought up for final action and the same question is before the house as portion of the report of the revision committee was placed on the calendar.

Defeat for ReuIrhiicans

Indianapolis, Oct. 8.-The republicans of the city suffered the heaviest defeat in the history of the city to-day. Fair ly complete returns at 10 o'clock show that Thomas Taggart, dem., is elected mayor by about 4,0O0 plurality and the rest of the democratic ticket by about 9,2oo. Two years ago the republicans carried the city by 3,100 and last year the city went republican by 2479 on the state ticket. This change of $500 in the result is accounted for by about 4,000 stay-at-homes and from 1900 to 1,500 republicans voting the democratic ticket The main causes of the defeat as stated by the republicans are that the present administration has aroused enemity by the rigid enforcement of the liquor law, assisted by the rigorous Nicholson temperancetaw passed at the last legislature. General Harrison voted a straight ticket this morning. Two weeks ago he advised all republi- cans to support the ticket.

RUSSIAN F0RGER ARRESTED
CAPTURED IN THIS CITY BY UNITED
 STATES DEPUTp MARSHALS.

He win Be Extradited to Russia and Tried
 for Forgery aud Horse stealing-writ
 Issued by the Secretary of Slate--Taken
 to New York for Examination Before n
 United states Commissioner.
 There was prisoner at the central station last night who is wanted in Russia for the crimes of forgery and horse stealing. His name is Ivan Voitchche hor Ribitcki and he was ar rested in this city by Deputy United States Marshal W. w. Stafford and G. Murphy of New York on extradition papers issued by the secretary of state
 The man has been wanted for some time, and recently the officers ascertain ed that he was in this city. Marshal J. w. Mccarthy of the southern New York district sent two of his deputies here and they found their man on Oak street. He was brought to the station to be held while the officers looked up some other parties concerned
 The writ on which the man was ar rested was headed "The President of the United States of America to John H. Forehell, the marshal of the United States for the Southern District of the State of New York" It says: Whereas, complaint has been made on oath under the convention between the United States of America and the em- pire of Russia for the eXtradition of criminals concluded March 16, 1SS7 rat flied February 14 1893, and proclaimed June 5, 1893, that one Ivan Voitchchehor Ribitcki, citizen of the empire of Rus sia and fugitive from justice and now in the United States, charged with the crime of larceny and burglary as follows: On May 21 1899, at the vil- lage fIPlutitch in the empire of Rus sia he stole four horses of the value of over 400 roubles and did forge and counterfeit bill of sale for two horses for which crimes he has been indicted before the criminal court of the 8ulsbv district of Russia and that the secre- tary of state of the United Sta -cs has issued his certificate stating that the NussldH government HaS 3pplleN TOT the provisional arrest of said Ribitcki." {"
 The prisoner, who is typical Rus sian of the lower class, trembled whiie in the presence of the burly deputie $, and when he realized that he was % be sent back to Russia for trial his face depicted the terror he felt at the possible soiourn in Siberian dungeon, In common with most of his country men he little thought that the far reaching arm of Russian law would penetrate to the center of an American city.
 The officers took their maa to New York on the 11:15 train and ha will be arraigned before United Sta les Commits sioner Lorenzo Lempi

BANQUET TO csmBRrDGE MEN.
Enthusiastic sentiments Were Expressed
 by Various Men.

Boston, Oct. S-The complimentary
 banquet rendered by Harvard men to
 the Cambridge athletic team at the Uni-
 versity club tonight probably equalled
 in enthusiasm any similar event in
 which Harvard representatives have
 ever participated. There was cheer upon
 cheer, and the sentiments expressed by
 the various speakers apparently fell up
 on the ears of attentive and thoroughly
 appreciative listeners. The representa-
 tives of the press were not permitted to actively participate, but those who did pronounced 1t most enjoyable and cordial occasion.
 Lientenant Governor Wolcott presid- ed and acted as toastmaster, making
 the first address of the evening, and
 was followed by Hon. Henry L. Higgin- son, both of whom extended warm
 greetings to the English visitors. E. J. Wendell of Harvard made particular ly address, in which he spoke of the warm friendship existing between Yale and Harvard, notwithstanding the tenn porary coolness which has prevented an intercollegiate game this year, and ex- pressed the hope that all differences between the two colleges would be speedily banished. This sentiment was heartily seconded by Captain Louis P Sheldon of the Yale team, and the speakers were cheered to the echo. Captain F. s. Horan of the Cam
 bridge team responded feelingly to the words of welcome that had been spoken Dr. William Everett made a speech in his characteristic style that brought the company to their feet, and he was rewarded with twenty cheers Then the same number were given for Cambridge, Harvard and Yale respec- lively.
 Hon. George s. Hale read a poem
 prepared for the occasion, and the speechmaking was brought to close by Gordon Bell 93, HOW of the law school. The gathering broke up after singing "Far Harvard" and Aud Lang Syne." During the evening the Harvard Glee club sang a number of its college songs, which were especially tc the Englishmen. The visitors will gC to New York at 10 a. m. Wednesday.

The Little Town Elections Show Up We'll General Revised Summary of the Re- suits.
 Hartford, Oct. S.-One hundred and
 thirty-two out of 164 towns that voted yesterday show: Republicans S5, Dem- ocrats SS, divided 24 Last year the vote was: Republican S6, democratic '84, divided 21, prohibition L The republi- cans made large gains in 1894
 In the license vote 54 towns voted license and IS no license. Last year 57 voted for license and St no license. In Hartford the republicans elected a town clerk but the democrats have major ity of the selectmen.
 Last year the republicans carried 21 great fight through the state has been
 on the license question. The last legis- lature passed a law that votes on the license questionshould be by secret bal lot, and that no license people thought that this would greatly their forces. The result has been appointment. In some places the new law has worked to the advantage of the saloons. Sew eral prohibition strongholds have fallen. Notable examples in this part of the state are Putnam and Manchester. In Putnam the no-license year has been marked by vigorous prosecution of illegal liquor dealers. and vigorous crusade by the law and order league. An attempt has also been made by lectures to stir up the prohibition ele- ment. In spite of it all the town this year Hops over and votes for license. Manchester last year voted 700 for no license. This year it goes 40 for l license.
 The Hartford Post prints this evening voting at town elections yesterday
 These show that the republicans car- ried 91 of these as against 94 last year, | the democrats 26 as against 26 while | 27 were divided as against "A last year. l divided" meaning that two of the three members of the board of seleet- men are republicans or democrats, with | the town clerk of politics contrary to l the majority, thus making it tie when 1 the officers are in joint session for the making of electors. A majority of the missing twenty towns are republican, and will leave the republicans in as good condition, if not better, than they were in the election preceding the poli- tical landslide of last year

CLEVELAND WON THE CUP
THE BASEBALL CONTEST RAS AT
 LAST COME TO AN END.

In the Battle Royal Yesterday Neither Side
 Scored Until the Seventh Innlng-At one
 Stage of the Game Excitement Ran High
 and Imprecations Filled the Air. Baltimore, Md, Oct. S.-The Temple cup contest came to an end, and as last year the champions must content them- selves with second place in the contest for the prize. Tebeau and his spider ag- gregation took to-day's game with something to spare. Neither side scored 1 until the seventh inning, but despite the goose eggs and cold weather there
 was lots of enthusiasm because of
 numerous brilliant plays From the opening of the seventh inning until the teams had left the grounds there was excitement plenty and to spare. | Up to the end of the sixth inning there had been but three hits mads off Hoffer Young was the first man up in the seventh. He cracked ont a double; Burkett singled and McKean sacrificed. Young, was however, held on third. Kelley's error in dropping ball from Child's bat allowed Young to score Singles by McAleer and Te- beau and two dumb exhibitions by 1 Gleason and Carey give the Clevelands two more runs. Three singles and an error netted them two in the succeeding Innings. Baltimore earned one run in the seventh. In this inning an incipi- ent riot followed Tebeau's attempt to spike Hoffer, as he ran past first Re turning to the base Hoffer vigorously pushed Tebeau, felling him to the ground. Excitement ran high as the players rushed in from the field. while yells and imprecations filled the air.
 The champions added another tally to their score in the ninth, and at one time had chance of winning the game. With two out McGraw and Keeler drew bases on balls and Jennings was hit l by the pitcher. The crowd meantime was wildly encouraging the home play CTS and trying to rattle the others. 1 With the bases full Keller was be- 1 sought in frantic terms to bring them l in. The best he could do was to single, l scoring McGraw. With chance to win the game and possibly the cup, the rooters begged and besought Brodie to punch out a triple or homer, but he failed miserably.
 The crowd left in bad humor, lining up about the players cub house await l ing the appearance of the Cleveland team The police 7rove the mob lack until a passageway had been made for the Forest City men. As they filed into their stage platoon If mounted pciise surrounded it and opened an avenue for
 the bus to drive through. Several po- licemen rode in the vehicle while others were on top. The very formidable ar- ray of bluecoats deterred the crowd from making any hostile demonstra- l tion
