Muddy Track mt st. Louis.

MuOOy TRICK NJ st LOulss
ST. LOUIS, May 16.-The going at the fair
grounds to-day was slow, last nights heavy
rain leaving the track in very muddy con-
dition. Five thousand people saw the six
events run off. and the betting was active.
Only seven books drew in. Three favorites
and an equal number of second choices di-
vided the races. In the fourth race most of
the fastest entries for the Laurel stakes, a
handicap sweepstakes for three-year-olds
and upwards, at six furlongs. were scratched
and only a small field contested for the
money. Tartarian. a gelding owned by T.
II. Ryan, was a well-backed favorite. Al
though he got away last, he worked his way
up and came under the wire winner by a
neck. Forget and George f. Smith were a
close second and third. When the book
makers drew in to-day there were only seven
of them, and Ulmah, who controls the bet
ting, informed them it would cost each $3.50
per day. This raised howl and it looked
for a time like the ring would be deserted
by tie pencilers. However, Barney Schreib-
err Tom Walsh and five others decided to
make states and mounted their blocks.
They were rewarded by having all the BUSH
ness they could handle. The trouble is due
to the hight betting that has characterized
the meeting SO far. The pencilers claim that
the speculation does not justify the daily
expense. From now on, however, the Det-
ting is expected TO get better. Summaries:

DECLARED A DRAW.
The Contest Between Dixon and FIaherty at Boston Smacks Very Much of
 the Hippodrome.

Boston, June 16.-There were fully 2000 people at the sparring meeting of the Suffolk Athletic club tonight, this being the last boxing contest that will be held in Boston until there is change in the law. The chief contest was between George Dixon of Boston and Martin Fla herty of Lowell for twenty rounds, nom- inally at 124 pounds, although Flaherty was somewhat heavier than that. Dixon did all the leading throughout the battle, but Flaherty maintained a particularly lucky defense. In fact, his work was al- most wholly on the defensive, but in two or three rounds he gave returns. Up to the thirteenth round Dixon, although not up 10 his old-time form, kept Flaherty on his mettle, and had a decided advantage. In the twelfth round Flaherty was forced so hard that he was obliged to do some thing desperate and he rallied, succeed ing in getting Dixon to the ropes, and landed a couple of half-arm blows that pleased the crowd greatly. For the bal ance of the contest Flaherty only at tempted to defend himself from Dixon's blows and simply played for a draw, which was declared in the twentieth round by the referee

This Treatment of an American Woman by
 Turkish Officials.
 London June 16.-The Daily News will tomorrow publish a dispatch from Con- stantinople saying that the American la dy who arrived with her child in that city from Marash few days ago after having had trouble with the Turkish authorities Is the wife of Rev. l.. o. Lee, mission ary at Marash MT. John w. Riddle, the American charge d'affaires, had to inter- vene to secure an order from the porte enabling Mrs. Lee to bring her children to Constantlnople. The dispatch adds that Mrs. Shattuck, an American mis- sionary who Is stationed at Oorfa, an outstation of Aintab, has been forbidden by the Turkish authorities to send or- phans from Armenia.
 The United Press dispatch on Sunday last told of the arrival in Constantinople of Mrs. Lee. She stated that she had made arrangements for providing homes and education for forty-hve orphans whose parents had been massacred, but the Turkish officials at Marash had re- fused to allow the children to leave, say ing that they would look after them. The officials also refused to allow Mrs. Lee to take her own three children with her, claiming that they were Turkish subjects as they had been born in Fur key, and this, notwithstanding the fact that both the Lees are Americans. They had great difficulty in getting the chil- dren away from Marash.

TWO TYPICAL ORATORS.
Senator TilIman and Postmaster General WiI- son Delivered Addresses at Nashville
 Yesterday-Synopses of Them.

Nashville, Tenn, June 16.-Ths city to- day was honored with the distinguished presence of Messrs. Wilson and Tillman, whose addresses are given in substance as follows:
 Senator Tillman spoke two hours at the state capitol to large crowd. His speech was enthusiastically received, and was entirely in line with his other efforts which have made him famous. He pre-
 dcted victory for silver at Chicago and
 success in November for the democratic
 nominee. He said South Carolina would
 withdraw from the convention If 1t did
 not declare for the free, unlimited and independent coinage Of silver, the doing away of national banks and the issue or enough greenbacks to take the place of the bank notes. He made strong appeal to the populists to come in with the dem ocrats and for all the silver men to get together.
 that he felt some apprehension about the Chicago convention, not as to a silver declarat tion, but as to the candidate. He wants a man whose record is clear on that subject.
 Postmaster General William l.. Wilson delivered the annual oral tion to the library societies of the Vanderbilt university to- night.
 His subject was "The Relation of Edu- cation to the Government and the Neces- sity of Educated Leaders for the People"
 He cited the recent tariff and the present financial problem as showing the necessi-
 ty for wisdom in our leaders and reliance on the experience of other nations rather than our own inexperience.
 MT Wilson went on to show that our
 political system was far from perfect.
 The power of the demagogue and bribery and corruption of those in public places kept our learned and wise men from en-
 tering public life He thought 1t "a sign of decadence in southern ideas that the efficiency of a representative or senator was adjudged by his ability to obtain large appropriations for his district" "In this way" he said, "a river and harbor bill, with it's appropriations so skillfulIy distributed as to compel the support of two-thirds of the members of both houses, may easily defy the execu- tive and override every appeal to public economy"
 In closing MT. Wilson said that the fu- ture salvation and stability of our insti- tutions were in the hands of the univer- sity men. Freedom itself would die did not our men of wisdom and education assume the leadership of the people in such a crisis as now beset us and strive for good government against the dema- gogue, who appeals to the ignorance and prejudices of the masses for selfish ends.

HIGH TIME AT SACRAMENTO.
A Free Silver Platform Will Be Adopted, All the Same-"Blind Boss Buckley
 Practically Drummed Out,

Sacramento, Cal, June 16-The demo- cratic state convention was called to or der at D. m. amid scenes of great ex- citement. The followers of Chris Buckley, the blind boss" of San Francisco, for cibly entered the convention hall and ap- propriated seats before the meeting con- vened. Failing to secure recognition from Chairman Gould, who was nomi- mated by the free silver element, they were elected by the sergeant-at-arms, after creating great uproar.
 The administration forces, under the leadership of John Daggett, superintend- ent of the San Francisco mint, were par tially successful in placing their men on the various committees, but they are in hopeless minority, and 1t is conceded by all that free silver platform will be adopted. The numerous factions have apparently patched up their differences and there are no indications of bolt. The Buckley contingent was practically drummed out of the party.
 After electing Frank Gould of Stock ton permanent chairman and appoint ing the usual committees the convention adjourned until tomorrow morning.

 Y, July to IT,

The object of this notice is to call your attention to the fact that special rate of one fare plus $2 for the round trip has been named from all points for the above mentioned meeting.
 After consultation with several parties who are in position to know the geogra- phy of the country in such way as to select delightful trip, the Louisville and Nashville railroad has been decided upon as the initial route for those wish ing to attend from Alabama. On account of it's numerous connections at Cincin- nati for Buffalo and Chautauqua Lake it is without a peer for those wishing to avail themselves of delightful summer outing.
 Another reason for the adoption of the Louisville and Nashville for the use of the visitors from Alabama is the fact of it's cutting the state in half and being To- cated so as to be the most convenient of any line for the greatest number of peo- ple
