champion, Robert J, he was beaten TO-
day by the New England PAGER, Frank
Agan. It was at Narragansett Pier,
and $4,000 people saw the battle between
the great PAGERS. The horse that had
been as fast as any horse in the world,
and up to yesterday faster than any,
went the first two heats of the race and
then commenced to give evidence of
being just a trifie off form 1t was a
trifie, and yet sufficient to lose for him
the bestrace ever paced in New Eng
land.
The third heat was the decisive one.
After having waited until well in the
stretch, the other heats, Mccarthy COM
menced at the last turn to make his
drive with Agan, with the result that
Robert J was carried off his feet right
before the wire. After that, instead
of doing the chasing, Agan was the
leader from wire to wire. Results:
Frank Agan (McCarthy) won third,
fourth and fifth heats. Time POS IL;
POS; 2:0s.
Robert (Geers) won first and second
heat. Time 2:03 1-2; 2:05.

Go ut Each Other Wild and woolIy.

Denver, Col, Sept. IA special to the
Republican from Santa Fe, n. NJ, says:
The New Mexican tonight prints a
letter from Governor w. I. Thornton.
IN which ne declares Congressional
Delegate T. B. Catron to be a poltroon,
a liar and a coward. The affair grows
out of the ex-Sheriff Cave asSassina-
ton, wherein political supporters Of
Catron are accused of the brutal muir
der of leading Democrat of this coun-
ty in 1892. Catron is alleged TO have
dictated to the Albuquerque Citizen an
anonymous communication which seri-
ously reflects upon the personal and Of
fetal character of Governor Thornton.

night fear a personal encounter be

THOROUGHLY SPANISH.
How the Queen Regent Was Deceived
the Custom sry Spanish Fashion.

How the Queen Regent Was Deceived in
the Custom ary Spanish Fashion.
NEW YORK. Jan. PA special from
Havana to the World, after reviewing in
detail the intrigues in Cuba, to bring q
about the recall of General Campos.
says:
General Campos refused to resign, but
placed himself in the hands of the Span
ish ministers. The responsibility was
thrown on the latter.
The greatest difficulty in the way of
the success of the plot was the queen
regent of Spain. This excellent woman
is a devoted friend of Gen Campos. whom
she regards as father to her. Her con-
sent was necessary before 6 en-. Campos
could be removed.
A bold stroke was mnde to secure this.
1t was reported to the Queen that the life
of the Captain General was in danger
from the Havana mob that his valor and
tenacity would prevent him from avoid
ing or yielding and the only safe thing
to do to get him out of the way was to re-
call him. The fact was gnored that
Havana was perfectly quiet, that there
were plenty of troops within call and
that Gen. Campos himself reported no
disorder. The queen consented to his
recall aud the enemies of the General
triumphed.
Immediately after the order had been
issueu tne qGeen addressed long caDie
message to Gen. Campos. She informed
him that she believed him to be in
danger She renewed her confidence and
regard and altogether sent sincere,
friendly message that expressed her
hearts feelings.
General Campos understood the situa-
ton perfectly. He determined to go
home untrammeled. He declined a
highly honorable post offered to him by
the government and he will imme ediately
resume his place as senator of Spain.

Over the Condition of Their
Chieftain.
A Trick Played Upon the Queen
Regent of Spain.
INSURGENTS ALARMED

Copyrighted 1896 by the Associated Press.l
HAVANA, Jan. "A. For some time
past reports hive been in circulation
here concerning the physical condition
of General Maxine Gomez. commander
n-chief of the insurgent forces.
One story has asserted that he was suf-
fering from wounds and that he was
seriously ill with fever. 1t appears
from information derived from trust
worthy sources that neither of these re-
ports is correct, but it is positively as
serted that the insurgent chief is very
sick man,
1t is stated upon the authority cited
that the doctors in attendance upon Gen.
Gomez recently held consultation and
diagnosed his case as being an advanced
stage of consumption, com pliceted with
fever
1t is further stated that the physicians
have come to the conclusion that Gomez
can only live about two months longer.
These statements have caused consider
able alarm to the insurgents and their
friends, as even though his condition
may be exaggerated to some degree, it
is believed the main facts are correctly
stated.

TILLMAN Is RESTLESS.
DesPises the Sham Called senatorial
Courtesy and Threatens Revolt.


WASHINGTON, Jan PA statement
has been shown Senator TiIlmau to the
effect that the Democrats of South Caro-
lima were ready to bolt the Democratic
ticket and join in movement to form
new party. Without either confirming
or denying the statement he said that
nine-tenths of the people of South Caro-
lima are opposed to the financial system
that is now in force, and that they are
ready and willing to go over to any party
or form new party if necessary to bring
about a change that will give them more
money.
When pressed to suggest a remedy
that might bring about such a happy re-
suit, he replied that nearly all the white
people of South Carolina believe that
free silver will afford them relief. He
says that they are opposed to the retire
ment of the United States paper in favor
of the national bank notes, and
they are all opposed TO the issuing
of bonds.
Senator Tillman is not even on good
terms with his South Carolina colleague,
for they never speak as they pass by al
though they were as close as peas in a
pod not many months ago. Senator Till
man appears to be chafng under the re-
straint to which he is subjected by
what is known as senatorial courtesy"
and he threatens to kick over the
traces befoer long.

half acres, six stories in height, and en-
ploying hundreds of operatives, and per-
fectly alive with ingenious machines.
There we witnessed the operation of max
ing ornamental wall paper.
"One machine printed seven colors in
most elegant designs By one revolution
of the mammoth roller. By the same
betting miles of paper were being dried
and prepared for shipment. The origi-
nators OF that enterprise invested $50.
900 in the pant and the first year cleared
$42, 900, which figures were given me by
one of the firm and are absolutely cor
rect.
II found on inquiry, that their paper is
jobbed by houses in Kansas City, St
Joseph and Denver, and of
course is the very paper that
covers our walls in Kansas. It is
handled by Topeka dealers and all
over the state. 1t staggers one to think
that our people spend thousands of dol
lars every year for these designs, which
could be az well produced here as in
Pennsylvania. The paper itself is not
made in New York, but shipped to them
from paper mills in New England on
massive rolls; they simply ornament it
and adapt it for house decoration.
1T was still a greater surprise to learn
also, that every machine with which they
printed the paper was made in York.
"These are just two of the leading
manufacturing enterprises of this old
city, but hundreds might be brought into
the argument, who are working along
the same lines, and casting their nets of
trade and business over the entire land.
1t is true that labor is cheaper in
the east than in the west, but living is
less costly in the east than iRthe west.
at has been said also that transporta-
tion is more costly and difficult in the
west than in the east; but when you con-
slider that these factories ship their pro-
ducts all over the country, from ocean to
ocean, and still make a handsome profit,
it becomes more evident that we in the
great interior would have decided ad-

said Mrs. Bloobumper, as she sat in the
visitors gallery and gazed upon the
mass of gesticulating men below, ac-
cording to the New York World.
Her escort nodded.
How very interesting! Now tell
me, when are the bulls and the bears

THE men are not quarreling, Mrs,
Bloobumper. They are merely buying
and selling. There are no real bulls and
bears. those terms being applied to the
brokers themselves. The bulls are those
who expect the price of stocks to ad-
vance, and the bears are those who
expect the price to decline"
Mrs. Bloobumper looked disappoint-
ed. She wanted to see the animals fight.
Women are so sanguinary. Then she
asked
IF they are buying and selling, where
ere the counters where the goods are
displayed? Do they give out samples? ?"
Her escort then went into thorough
explanation of the method of doing
business and of the commodities bought
and sold. He expatiated on the vast
amount of wealth represented among
the dealers, of the enormous transac-
tons day by day, and then added:
Before man can do business on the
foor of the exchange he has to buy
seat, and sometimes as high as 100000
is paid for one"
''You don't mean to say" she de-
manded, that those men down there
have paid such enormous prices for
seats?''

''Well,'' she added. with an air of deep
conviction, eff I had paid that much
for seat, I would not act like those
men are doing. I'd sit in it,

HARRISON IN COURT.
He is the Chi eff Attraction in the Su.
preme Court Room Today.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The supreme
court room was the center of attraction at
the capitol today. The news that ex-
President Harrison would appear drew
thousands through the mud and rain to
the capitol, and for two hours before
noon the halls were thronged and the
doors besieged.
Mr.. Harrison appeared just after the
marshal had called the court to order.
He took a seat at a table Immediately in
front of the chief justice, and sitting
there in the presence of many famous
me q, he Immediately became the target
of all eyes. 1t was the first public ap-
pearance in Washington since he left the
White house three years ago His ap
pearance had changed but slightly. The
careworn look had disappeared and time
seemingly had dealt kindly with him.
There was the same soft grey hair and
beard, almost white, the clear pallid
complexion and the bright grey eyes
He wore a pair of ordinary spectacles
and consulted his notes freely while ex-
Chief Justice Rhodes, who pre- ceded
him was speaking.

Do Not Look for the Sun Tomorrow
Either, Say the Prophets.
The storm of yesterday instead of
bringing clear weather, as the weather
men at first promised, but served to in
crease the cloudiness and this condition
continues today throughout eastern
Kansas.
The weather bureau predicts today
that tomorrow will be cloudy also. and
that light rain or snow is probable to-
night. They say that the temperature
will be higher.
Along the lines of the Santa Fe in the
eastern portion of this state the weather
is reported cloudy and cool. At Nick
erson and points west, clear and
cool weather exists. On the Oma-
ha and Fairbury divisions of
the Rock Island the weather is clear. On
the Horton division it is quite cloudy,
and on the western, HerIngton and
Chicasha divisions it is reported partly
cloudy.
In Colorado and southern New Mexico
the weather is clear and cool; in north
ern New Mexico cloudy.
