SPONGE IN THE NOSE.

The Modern Way Of Killing Fast Horse
SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-Ma-
jorie, the speedyIroquois FLY, who
appeared to have the last race on
the card at her mercy, was
scratched at the last minute yes
terday because she wheezed in her
preliminary gallop. A veterinary
discovered a sponge stricking in
her nostrils. This discovery Is the
most modern method of deadening
a horse, and one that has doubtless
been practiced in California for
some time. The impression pre-
vailed that Decision was "doped"
in her last race. She ran well for
awhile but stopped to almost a
walk near the finish. She has
been sick ever since the race. The
veterinary made an examination
of Decision and discovered sponge
in her nostrils also. The board Of
stewards are making investigation
of this last scandal.

STEVENS REPLY

To Bishop Ireland's Attack on the A. P. A.
ST. LOUIS, April 29.-Judge II.
d. Stevens, president OF the A. PA,
when his attention was called to
Archbishop Ireland's interview on
the A. p. A., said: ~ have read
with interest and amusement
Archbishop Ireland's interview on
the A. PA. The organization was
not formed as political party and
will probably never form politi-
cal party except when the princi-
Piles on which it stands shall be a
direct,issue. Our vote we count at
100000, but only in a few ill-ad-
vised instances has the association
ever run a ticket under its name.
"The archbishop says the prin-
ciples in the A. p. A. are unS
American. These are our princi-
pies: The total separation Of
church and state; the maintenance
Of our public school system the
restriction of immigration and
non-sectarian appropriations.
These principles are the foun-
dation, the corner stone o. the re-
public. They have been upheld
by Lincoln and by Grant. They
have been incorporated in the plat
forms Of the republican party and
at one time Of the democratic party.
The danger which would threaten
the republic il these principles
were not upheld, has been brought
out by Jefferson and by the great
Washington himself.
"'No man deserving Of American
citizenship and Of the liberties 1T
insures would countenance them
for an instant says the arch
bishop. "Then there is no such
thing as American citizenship and
no such thing as liberty and the
republic is farce and the efforts
of our forefathers to uphold it
have been in vain"

Illinois Convention.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, April 3D.
Illinois capital city was alive at
break of day today. Politicians,
weary and worn from the strug.
giles and contentious OF the last
three days, were alert.with the
lark, but in no mood for singing.
1t was all business with them.
They and the candidates were put
ting the finishing touch on the
plans they had been mapping out
for the big fight. Long before the
hour for the calling OF the conven-
tion to order the vast auditorium
of the great dome building which
attracted so much attention at the
Worlds fair was full. Never be-
fore in the history OF Illinois
politics has there been such q
crowd at state con vention.
Owing to the size Of the hall,
which will seat 1000 persons, the
attendance was larger than at any
previous conventions.

ness. using no shiplights. The
men who were to do the wrecking
of the Spanish cruiser, the dyna-
mite and other material were to
be landed and concealed on a plan
tation near the coast close to the
entrance to Neuvitas harbor. From
this plantation the Cubans could
rush to the channel and lay to at
the only point where a warship
could pass in less than two hours
time.
Information received by the
Spanish authorities indicated that
as soon as Neuvitas should fall
and the cruiser should be destroyed
strategic movements were to be
made around Puerto Principe,
Santa Clara, Cardenas and other
eastern points. A reporter saw
the Spanish consul general, Arturo
Baldasano yesterday. He claimed
that the Spanish authorities had
received information OF the plot.
He said:
ave hear occasionally OF some
of the murderous and anarchistic
plots. Some time ago we learned
of plot to blow up the lnfanta
Isabel off Key West. We knew
enough about this conspiracy
against Spanish vessel to prevent
its accomplishment If 1t is ever
attempted. The Washington office
may know more than do.
81 hardly believe the Cubans
could blow up the Alfonso Nil,
and understand that Is the vessel
they hope to attack, because that
vessel could not enter Neuvltas
harbor under any circumstances,
as she draws too much water.
Nevertheless, l believe the Cuban
insurgents are reckless enough to
attempt anything, for their cause
is already threatened.
eyes, you may say that we know
all about the contemplated plot
against Neuvitas and have taken
proper precautions against its
being carried out"

AFFAIRS IN EGYPT.
The Advance Is Pushing Its Lines $50
Miles Beyond Akasheh.

The Advance Is Pushing Its Lines $50
Miles Beyond Akasheh.
New YORK, April ga dispatch
from Cairo Egypt says: 1t is stat
ed here that Fiark, $50 miles south
Of Akasheh may any moment
be occupied at as an adj
vance post. A rumor is circulat-
ed that the Sirdar Kitchener may
resign owing to his action being
restricted. The Dervishes ad-
vanced post, extending from No
grakeh to Ferek, now numbers
1000 men under Hamud. The
force near Dongola is under Ber-
shar, who arrived from Darfour
seven months ago. He is a young
man who has not yet met regular
troops but saw much fighting in
Darfour as second in command to
Osman Wad Adam, the Mahdi's
nephew.
Tie stream of Dervish reinforce
ments from Dongola to Mough-
razeh has now drawn closer and
probably a big stand will be made
by the enemy at Dougola. The
force at our advanced post Is being
increased, the ninth battalion be-
ing about to join the other three
Soudan regiments at Akasheh.
Two detachments of Arabs left
Dongola today to patrol the right
and left bank of the Nile between
this place and Akasheh.
Lieutenant Girourd of the Royal
engineers, possessing much ex-
perience in railway construction,
has arrived and taken over the
work Of making line to Akasheh.
The Sirdar accompanied by Ma
Jor Benson leaves at once on a visit
of inspection to the front. Major
Benson, son of the archbishop of
Canterbury, and Lord Edwin Cecil,
son of the Marquis OF Salisbury,
arrived in Wady Halfa last night
to join the expedition.
The latest news from Osman
Digna states, he has left the neigh
borhood OF the late fighting and is
going westward, but it is not
known whether he is marching
for Tokar or for his place on the
Arabar.
The law suit arising from a
grant by the debt commission
came up for hearing today. The
government and bondholders sup
ported the grant and majority Of
the commissioners pleaded against
the competency OF the mixed trib.
unal.
The case was further adjourned
until Wednesday.
