DETROIT, Mich. May 17.-It now
transpires that the national non-par-
tisan commercial tariff convention.
which meets in this city June I'd, will be
considerably larger than it's projectors
at first anticipated. Secretary S. b. Ar
received credentials already from COM
mercial bodies who have chosen over
1000 delegates. There will also be some
delegates from labor and agricultural
organizations. At least double that
number of accredited delegates are ex-
and chambers of commerce and other
bodies Of like character.
Other persons who attend will be en-
titled to vote on all questions excepting
those concerning permanent Organiza-
tion. From letters received the senti-
ment favOring holding annual non-par-
tisan tariff conventions is almost unani-
nous. The Santa Fe's woman board
of trade, the only organization of its
kind, sends four delegates.
The convention committee, consisting
of presidents of boards of trade, COM
mercial bodies and labor and farming
organizations, representing various Sec
tions of the country, will meet June 1st
and arrange the final details and choose
temporary officers.
Auxiliary to the convention and de-
signed to facilitate discussion, there will
be appointed four large committees
Their provinces especially will be to
recommend ways and means for taking
the tariff question out of partisan poll
tics and make it a business question, to
suggest ways and means for improving
the consular service in the way of in
creasing our foreign trade, especially
with the Central and South American
republics; to report upon the advisable

Donation for Lepers Sent to the Settle
ment for Distribution.
Tree Planting on Molokaf Not a Sue
cess-Another New Doctor-Ten-
ders Granted-Mortality.

A meeting of the Board of Health
was held yesterday afternoon at
the usual time. There were present
President Smith, members Lansing,
Waterhouse and Keliipio, Drs.
Emerson, Day, Wood, Myers and
Howard.
President Smith said that out of
the twenty biennial reports of the
various island physicians only nhhe
had been received. Several had
written saying they would send re-
ports soon.
Regarding the donation of 1875
for the leper settlement at Molokai,
it was decided to remit the amount
to committee composed of DR..
Oliver. Ambrose Hutchinson and
William Motley for distribution
among the needy lepers without re-
gard to race, sex or any other con-
dition, and that the committee be
instructed to make full report to
the Board of Health.
Ambrose Hutchinson wrote from
Molokai to the effect that the tree
planting scheme was not meeting
with very much success.
DIR. Day suggested that it might
be a good plan to offer a money
prize to those persons succeeding in
growing plants on Molokai.
Sheriff Hitchcock wrote from
Hilo telling of a number of lepers
on the island of Hawaii. He sug-
gested sending a steamer to collect
them.
Agent Reynolds was instructed
to make arrangements for sending
a steamer to get the lepers-

table. 1t was plain the mare was
tired and out of sorts. When the
word was given, the horse had a
slight advantage in the start and
trotted without a skip. The mare
could not be controlled and ran
the entire first quarter. By the
time she settled down there was a
wide gap to fill. After passing the
half the horse was so far ahead 1t
was evident the mare could not
catch up, though she came into the
stretch at very lively gait. Com
ing down the stretch the mare
broke several times and went to
pieces, being at the shut out flag
when Salvador came under the
wire; unofficial time 2:51. SAL
vator was declared winner.
There were numerous wagers on
the race. Experienced horsemen
expressed the opinion that the
mare had greater speed than the
horse, and but for constant breaks
would have easily defeated him.
