DEATH HELD THE REINS.
John Holmes, a Jockey, Expires
While Driving in a Race
at Green Bay.

Green Bay, Wis, Aug. 29.-John
Holmes, driver of BiWabik, was stricken
dead with heart disease, 100 yards from
the finish, in the third heat of the 2:2s
r2ce at Washington park yesterday aft
ernoon. Hanging limp and lifeless II
the sulky, his hands retained hold of
the reins until after the finish, WHICH
was one Of the most thrilling and ss9sa-
tiQlal eyer witnessed on race track.
The horses turned into the home
stretch, Happy Bird, Icicle Maid and BIZ
,wabik in the lead, and close together.
Happy Bird had the pole wiz. IL nIwabik
nsSsA ans lie Maid on the outside.
:, nen at the distance post Holmes was
seen suddenly to lean over sideways, APP
parently watching the action Of his
horses feet. Still farther over swayed
his body, until it was almost touching
the wheel of the sulky. As the horses
came over the line, Biwabik within a
neck of second place, it was plain that
the animal was no longer controlled By
its driver, in whose hands % s..s reins
were still held.
Attendants Of the several horses and
others rushed into the track and stopped
Biwab1k as soon as possible. Holmes
was lifted from the sulky and placed
upon a blanket upon the ground Doc
tors were summoned and what restora-
tives were at hand were applied, but he
was dead. Heart disease was the only
cause that could be ASSIGNED

THE INCOMING GOLD TIDE.
1t is Legitimate and will Serve to
Recoup the Reserve and Linn
Der Up Business.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 28.-A tele-
gram received at the Treasury depart
ment from the sub-treasury at New York
states that the firm of Lazard Freres to-
day deposited 100000 in gold coin in
exchange for United States notes. 1t
is stated at the department that the
continued expectation of gold has result
ed IN considerable contraction in the
circulation in this country and that the
redundancy abroad has rendered gold
importations profita ble The damands
for currency are coming largely from
the West and it is the general opinion
IN official circles that the present move
ment of gold to this county is perfectly
legitimate and natural and will result I'D
recouplng the reserve in the treasury and
at the same time relax the money strin-
gency.
New York, Aug. 2S.--A special to the
Evening Post from London saysg
There will be a further heavy with
drawal of gold this afternoon from the
Bank of England for America. The
bank has raised it's selling price for bar
gold IT'S 111ad. Money rates are rising
here, which, if continued, may have some
influence on prices of stocks A quarter
of million pounds sterling will go by
the American line tomorrow while be-
tween 100000 and 100000 perhaps
more, will go by the Campania.
London, Aug. 2S.-The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon says that the
Bank of England is beginning TO feel
the gold Withdrawals and therefore re-
duced the prices of eagles and raised
the price of bar gold with the object of
inducing SINNERS TO tn Ike eagles
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1896-09-02

natural outcome of the present situation
is that President Dole will gracefully re-
tire and that Princess Kaiulani will be
asked to head a new regime OF which
Dole's present cabinet officers will be tie
leaders,
The Royalists claim that they have
received information to the effect that
Kaiulani will be restored, while sup
porters of the republic are under the i'm
preston that President Cleveland has
empowered Minister Willis to negotiate
for an annexation treaty, or, failing in
that, to offer the present government the
protection Of the United States.
Either annexation or a protectorate is
acceptable to the white people here, and,
judging from appearances, any attempt
to restore the monarchy will be met
with resistance

A CLEVER STOWAWAY.
Cuts the Ropes that Bind Him to a Com
panion and Escapes.

Chicago, H., Aug. 2S.-[Special]-
Two stowaways on the steamer City of
Milwaukee broke open the slot machines
turn trip from st. Joseph, Mich. They
were caught and one of them had $40,
the contents of the machines. The cap
tain thought it would be a good idea to
leave the money on the thief until he
ties. Not having any good place to
keep the men he had them bound with
ropes and set a member of the crew to
watch them.
When the boat reached the river the
thief who had the money whipped out
his knife and cut the rope that united
him with his companion, slashing a deep
cash on the other mans wrist. He
then jumped on the State street bridge
and made his escape. The other man
was Turned over to the United States
marshal.

DESPATCH BOAT NEEDED.
The Bancroft May be Placed at Minister
Terrelfs Disposal.

The Bancroft May be Placed at Minister
Terrelrs Disposal.
Washington. d. c., Aug. 29-The cri-
sis in Turkish affairs is being followed
closely by officials here. Minister Terrell
at ConstantinOple has not transmitted
further advices than those of Thursday.
Officials at the state department feel
that American interests are protected by
the presence of the cruiser San Fran
cisco and Marblehead in the Mediterra-
mean waters. TIE San Francisco is at
AleXandretta and the Marblehead at
Genoa. The Minneapolis also belongs to
this fleet and can be brought from
Queenstown on short notice.
The riotouS situation at Constantine
pie has renewed the attention of the Off
Gals to the desirablility of having the
United States represented by warship
nearer Constantinople and within easy
reach of the American legation. Great
Britain and other first class powers are
represented by dispatch hQats. For some
months the state department. has been
seeking to have the United States SINH
larly represented and i'll this relation appli--
ca1Io1 l..se been made to have the si1Iai,,
cruiser Bancroft. which has about the
rank of dispatch boat, stationed at
Constantinople Nothing has come Of it
however, although the present crisis re-
news the necessity for American repre-
sentation near the Turkish capjt5l. This
necessity and the preparation of the Ban
croft for sea service, leads to the impress
sion that the little ship will ultimately
be added to the Mediterranean flee Ind
if possible sent up the Da-uanelies to
Constantinople.
There is an unyerifed story about the
state and navy departments to the eff
feet that an understanding has been
reached between the Sultan and the
United States that this government shall
be allowed to have a vessel within the
D9yda Relies.

TURKISH MASSACRE.
Constantinople Streets Red with
the Blood of Innocent
People.

Paris, Aug. 29-The Temps this after
noon publishes dispatch from Constan-
tinople filed on Friday evening, saying:
"At the present moment sanguinary
fighting is taking place in the chief street
of Constantinople. The troops are firing
on unarmed Armenians. The victims of
the outbreak exceed 200O."
easineSs prevails among the British resi-
dents of the villages on the shores OF
BoSphorus, where a number of hunted
Armenians have sought refuge. 1t is
feared that their houses will be at
tackled.
Michael Herbert, the British charge
d'affaires, has ordered the British guard
ship Dryad to receive all families desir-
ing protection and any British vessel in
port may be requisitioned in case of ne
cessity.
There is also much anxiety in the sub
urbs, where many Europeans having
Armenian servants, are afraid of being
attacked.
The American college at Hissar and
the Bible house at STEAMBOAT are guard
ed by troops. The United States min
lister, Alexander w. Terrell, visited
Hissar yesterday to ascertain If the
Americans were safe. His visit had a
reassuring effect and the chief of police
of Hissar told Mr.. Terrell that all meas
ures had been taken to preserve order.
The Galata quarter is quieter today,
but all the shops are closed and no Ar
menians are to be seen in the streets,
which are patrolled By troops. There
was fresh panic today owing to a
bomb being thrown while the soldiers
were returning from the Selamlik. No
body was hurt, however, and the man
who threw the bomb was arrested.
Although several of the Armenian dis
tricts were the scene yesterday evening
of massacres and pillage, the city today
is Quieter and the authorities now appear
determined to maintain order.
Scores of dead have been thrown into
the sea in order to save the trouble OF
burying the bodies. The British charge
d'affaires has refused the request of the
Sultan to withdraw the guards Of Brit.
ish marines, saying he cannot do so until
the disorders here are thoroughly quelled
OF the Armenians who were seized IN
the Ottoman bank, five were killed and
five were wounded in the bank. They
all came from abroad The fifteen sur
vivors have been sent to Marseilles, the
British and French warships seeing the
Messagerie liner safely off.

Altaeld Answers Forman.

Springfield, III, Aug. 29.-Gov. Altgeld
has given out an open letter addressed
to ex-Congressman Forman in reply to
the recent letter from the latter to him.
He terms the letter of Mr.. Forman as
being made up of malicious, false and
slanderous trash which has been. re-
neatedly published and branded as false
and malicious and does not call for any
further notice The governor roundly
scores Forman for dragging into his Vi
tuperations John nj. Lanehart and ex-
State Treasurer Ramsay-both dead
charging that Forman had not the nerve
to make the charges while they lived.
