SETTERS ARE THE DOGS.
They Proved Their Superiority in the Cham ponship Stake at West PoInt
 Yesterday.

West Point, Miss, Feb. 10.-The run ming in the champion stake commenced here this morning, and four brace of dogs were run today, out of the five and a half brace entered to compete in the first series of heats. The heats in the first series of this stake are run for two hours each, which accounts for the few number of braces that ran today. The first brace to run was the pointer lingo against the setter Topsys Rod. lingo did some very good work during the heat and especially towards the close, but 'Topsy's Rods work was superior. and the heat closed in his favor. Both finished the two hours of running strong and going fast. The pointer Delhi then ran for two hours against the setter Cynosure. the latter doing almost all the bird work and completely outdoing the pointer. The setter Tony Boy next ran against the Setter Harold Skimpole the latter being lucky to find most of the birds, while Tony Boy far excelled him in range, speed and industrious hunting in fact, in this respect Tony Boy ran much the best of any dog so far. The setter Count Gladstone ran against the pointer Tippoo and easily defeated the latter, doing much better work in every respect than his opponent, Tippoo, though he did not run up to his usual good form. The weather to daw was clear and pleasant, and there was a large crowd following the dogs, watching their work in the field. The judges of the champion stakes are Col. A. Merriman, Memphis, Tenn; J. D. King, Jackson, Tenn, and J. Bell Pittsburg, Pa.

As the warship ,,a syed Morroca castle she was saluted i,v the guns of that fortress, and as she proceeded was welcomed by thunders of artillery from the Cabanas fortress and the dipping of flags and other greetings from the ships in the harbor. General WeyIer, who was accompanied by Gen erals Barges, Arolas and the Marquis De Ahumada, the latter having been desig- mated by the queen regent to De second tol General Weyler in command, disem- bv civil and military officials, who escort ed him to the palace.

 General Weyler proceeded on foot from the landing to the palace, where he at once took the oath of office as captain general of Cuba. After this ceremony the new governor and commander-in- chief held reception in the palace, re- ceiying the leading citizens of Cuba, a number Of gvandeee of Spain, the heads of the various commercial bodies, the leaders of the political parties and the foreign consuls.

Dropped the sub-Treasury Plank.

Columbia, s. C., Feb. 10.-The State will print tomorrow an interview with J. w. Bowden, prominent populist and allianceman of this state, in which Mr. Bowden, who returned today from the meeting of the National Farmers all 1ance-in Washington. says that body eliminated from it's platform its famous demand for an agricultural sub-treasury system, and also the demand for the ex- pansion of the currency to $50 per capita of population. The land plank and the railroad plank were made to read as they did originally. This signifies that the al- liance, has abandoned the financial fea- ture of it's platform, which would have stood in the way of it's coalescence with other free silver clements in the coming presidential campaign

THE KENTUCKY DEADLOCK.
Hunter Came Within One Vote of Securing
 the Nomination.


 Frankfort Ky, Feb. 10.-There were 102 members present in the joint assem- bly today and Hunter once more came within one vote of an election. This hap pened as a result of pair between Sena- tor Ogivie, democrat, and Representative Poor, populist, who were absent. The vote stood: Hunter 51; Blackburn, 46; scattering 5; necessary to choice, 52.
 This Is expected to be the most interest ing week of the session, and, 1t is claimed will see the end of the prolonged dead lock. The contested cases will be taken up tomorrow in case of the return of Lieutenant-Governor Warrington, who Is presiding officer of the joint assembly,
 Several days ago 1t was given out that the republican caucus had taken action and agreed to vote for the unseating of Alexander Tompkins of Owensboro and seating Charles Werner. The Dunlap Kaufman case had not then been taken up. Now 1t is said it is not settled that even Tompkins will be unseated and that Hunter has a card up his sleeve by which he hopes to win. It is alleged that the Hunter people are hoping to win through the assistance of Populist Poor in the case. Senator Ogilvie is unable to be brought to the hall in which case there would be no necessity of unseating any democrat.
 Republicans discussed a new scheme today to the effect that Governor Brad ley will issue a proclama tion calling the legislature to meet in Louisville, to meet in one of the large opera houses there, the session to continue until the e1ec- ton of a senator. There, it was argued, would be ample police protection not af- forded here, and even much stronger than the McCreary guards would be able to render in case they were called into active service. This story was denied by the officials.

Where Is the Stake Moneyp

Houston, Tex, Feb. 810.-Sam Austin, who has held the stake of $10,000 put up by the contestants in the MaherFitz- simmons fight was expected to arrive here yesterday to turn over the money to Capt. James Lawler, the final stake holder but has not yet put in an appear ance. According ito agreement the cash should have been put in Lawler's hands by this time, and sports seem to think that by its non-arrival the fight will not take place. Lawler stated today that he did not know when the money would be forthcoming, and had heard nothing from Austin. B. T. J. Parks, southern passenger agent of the Southern Pacific railroad, says positively that the fight will occur at point less than fifty miles from here. ------

RANGERS ON HAND.
Stuart Seems Confident of Bringing Off the
 Big Fight.

Fl Paso, Tex, Feb 10.-Captain Mc- Donald, with his company of rangers, arr rived from the Panhandle this morning and Captain Hughes has moved his men from Ysleta to this point. Every move ment of the fighters is watched and there is no danger of the fight occurring in Texas Adjutant General Mabrye reit- crates this morning that he was here to keep the fight from occurring in any To- cality that Texas lays claim to; that he recognized no neutral ground; that no battle-ground could be used to pull off the fights unless in some other country. The opposition is taking on new courage with. the presence of the rangers and tele- grams are flying thick and fast to cover every possible contingency. Through all this Dan Stuart, to all appearances, Is perfectly serene, and meets all inquiries with the positive assurance that the fight will come off IS scheduled The report that the fight could take place upon the ranch of a prominent American citizen a few miles below Juarez, in Mexico, is a canard. The owner said this morning that it would cost him his property to consent to such thing, regardless of whether it took place or not. Governor Ahumada did not arrive in Juarez this morning and his friends there say that he is not expected. The manager of the for mer bull fights said this morning that as long as there was any talk of the prize fights bull fights and gambling would be prohibited. He seemed disturbed over the idea that he could not secure a con- cession for bull fights while the visitors are in Fl Paso. Captain Lawler, the final stakeholder. will arrive tomorrow morn- ing Austin of New York, the temporary stakeholder. is to turn the money over this afternoon. The management wired Phil Dwyer, who Is at New Orleans this morning that he could assure his friends that the fight would take place as sched- uled

SUNDAY RIDING.
What Washington vheelInan Has
to Say About 1t.

~ say
Washington League members are taking
hand In the discussion of Sunday wheel
riding. No. 93,O62 in the last issue of
the bulletin has this to say in a COM
nuRication addressed to the editor:
In one sense it is well enough, per-
haps, to leave the matter OF Sunday cycling
as You do, practically, to the conscences
of the Interested parties, but it occurs to
me that there Is another element that
ought to be taken into consideration in this
most Important matter.
In every community wheelmen and
wheelw0men may be divided into two
classes; those who are handicapped by
being obliged to attend to their daily
work to obtain the wherewithal necessary
to their own and the existence and liveli-
hood of their families. and those who
have nearly all their time at their dis
posal, untrammeled by the Calling neces-
sity Of earning their daily bread.
1T is curious thing gained from my
observation among the ladies l know
Gcdblesi'em hat some Of them, VIII } cloDg
to the latter class mentioned,- are quite
positive in their opinions ithat it is not
good form To ride on, Sunday, and that 81,
many 'Eoodlums' ride that day. etc. l
number among my acquaintances, also.
Sc reral wheeiwOmen who ,frc employed as
clerks in the government departments at
Washington, whose only opportunities for
rides at any length andDut on the country
roads are on Sundays II seems TO me
that for one class to lay it down that 1t is
bad form and improper 10 ride Sundays
is an unwarrantablefas reflection on those who
have no other days to crioy the healthful
and invigorating exercise.
1t might be said that the matter I'.ay
adjust itself, for instance, in this way

GOLDENBERG'S.

that those who can ride on week days as
we'll as not, might properly refrain from
riding Sunday, and that no reflection te
cast on those who have no opportunity to
rideexcept onSunday. Butanother question
still presents or Ubtrudes itself right here.
Suppose-and the case is not wholly hypC-
thetIcal-that a gentleman, who is a wheel
man, and whose daily employment leaves
him only Sundays to utilize for wheeling
would enjoy particularly, and with the Ut
most partiality, a ride with lady who is
not SO hampered. The lady would like to
ride with the gentleman, too. But the ride
doesn't come off, because the lady doesn't
think Sunday riding is proper Is thera not
something wrong in the economy of things
that these two, who want to ride together,
should be debarred this mutual pleasure?
Must there be such "a division among wheel
men that only those belonging to the
respective classes may ride together?
You can dpmost everything; won't you
please fixuhis matter upin some satisfactory
shape? l am one of the unfortunates who
have to work week days.

il was SO, IA drop of 16 degrees. At 10
%. m the mercury had gone down to 40
degrees which was a drop of 21 degrees
from the phenomenal 10 degrees at mid
day.
The coming ON of the cold snap was
made disagreeable by the sloppy rain which
prevailed during the afternoon and nlgnt.
Pref Bigelow, forecaster at tie Weather
Bureau, said last night that the propabii-
tiles were that the temperature would
fan tn about 30. or two degrees below the
freezing point, and that such temperature
would preyail for from two to three days
There is also a probability that the rain
will hold I'D this afternoon, giving clear
but cold weather.
