On Franklin Park Oval,

Saugus, Mass, Aug. 1.-The first day of the August meeting at Franklin park race track was comparatively well attended. The track was in good condition in spite of the heavy rains that fell last night In the 2:14 pace Royal Victor opened strong favor ite, with Tony Wilcox second choice In the first heat Tony Wilcox led to the quarter, but on a bad break lost in favor of Madeline Pollard, who held the lead to the finish.
 Tony Wilcox, captured the remaining three heats and always had speed to spare, winning the race, Brooks sec ond, Royal Victor third. In the 2:16 trot there were only three starters to come up against the renowned Alceda- lia. She was the strongest kind of a favorite The little mare took the pole soon after the start, with nothing in the field to bother her, winning the heat in a jog. The second and third heats were easily taken by the favorite.
 In the 2:20 trotting class there were six at the wire in the first heat and Miss Huon only won by neck; Alt helea Prince second. The remaining heats Louis Victor won, with Miss Huon 8 close second,

SENATOR EoRAKE sANGUTNr.
Has No Fear About the Result in Ohio
 Other Opinions.


 New York, Aug. T.-Senator Elect ]. B. Foraker of Ohio arrived at tine Fifth avenue uotel to-day. He will sail for Europe next Wednesday on the steamer St. Paul to meet his daugh- ters who are now in London. He ex- poets to return by the middle of Sep tember and to make speeches before the campaign closes He said he had no fears whatever about Ohio. The silver craze was nc more rampant there than here, and the Buckeye state would give larger majority than usu- al for the republican ticket. He added: Where one republican is converted to free silver at least one hundred demo- crats declare for Mckinley and sound money. That shows the drift out west" He said he believed Indiana, Illinois and Iowa would go republican.
 General John w. Foster, ex-secretary of state, also arrived to-day.
 Ex-Congressman F. G. Neidringhaus of Missouri, who was al the Waldorf hotel, said that the republicans had a splendid chance to win in his state
 Colonel A. NJ. Shook of Tennessee, who is a lage coal operator and gold standard democrat, said that the free silver sentiment overshadowed all oth- CT issues in his state. and he saw no hope of the sound money men carrying Tennessee, Alabama or Georgia.

WHAT MARK HANNA SAYS.
Calls Bryan's Speech a Stunner--Republi-
 can Orators Soon to Begin.


 Cleveland, Aug. T.-Messrs. McKin- ley and Hanan were in conference at MT. Hanna's home all day Sunday. MT. Hanna this afternoon said:
 The outlook throughout the west ern states is more promising than two weeks ago, and I construe it as an evidence that the campaign of educa- tion is beginning to tell. We have the Chicago headquarters thoroughly or ganized and up to Saturday night had scattered 15,500 campaign documents in every section. This is a mere hand ful compared to what will be sent out. There is a healthy and growing de- mand for republican literature which in my opinion demonstrates that they want reliable information and are com ing to republican headquarters to get it.
 Within a week or ten days we will begin to shoot off our oratorical ar- tillery. It will come in good season, as the people will have then had time to digest some of the campaign litera ture. It has been given out that Me Kinley will not take the stump and nothing has occurred to cause him to deviate from the original decision. To settle the matter once for all McKin- ley will not take the stump. Neither will he address the G. A. R. gathering at Milwaukee. At present I canont justly size up the eastern situation. will be on the ground Tuesday. All that I can say of Bryan's speech is that it was sumner.
 ''The last member of the executive committee has not been appointed. It is all twaddle about me going to New port for the summer. I am not going to Newport. It will take ali my time to look after the campaign

"GAIL HAMl LTON, DEAD
One of America's Most Eminent Womel
 PaSSeS AWnY.


 Wenham, Mass, Aug. 17.-"Gail Hamilton" (Mary Abigail Dodge) died at S:55 tonight without regaining con- sciousness since she was stricken Sun day morning.
 Her illness dated from Sunday morn ing when she was seized at the break fast table with a stroke of paralysis which was at once declared by her physician, Dr. Thayer, to be probably fatal. Dr. Thayer, in fact, did not ex- pect his patient would live the day out, but she surprised all by lingering until this evening.
 Miss Dodge was possessed of re- markable vitality, which alone enabled her to recover from the serious stroke of paralysis with which she was at tackled while staying with the Blaines in Washington in May last year. At this time it was given out that recovery was impossible. For days Miss Dodge lowered between life and death and no one believed she could recover When Miss Dodge had once more regained her health she came to her birthplace, Hamilton, and accompanied by the nurse, who has since been her compan- ion took pleasure in rides and walks about the quiet village where she re- mained until her death The funeral services will be simple and devoid of ostentation and will take place from her home near the depot at Hamilton
 Mary Abigail Dodge, author, was born in Hamilton, Mass, about 1830 She was instructor In physical science in the Hartford, Conn.,, high school in 1851, and for several years thereafter, and was subsequently a governess in the family of Dr. Gamaliel Bailey of Washington, D. C., to whose paper, the National Era she became a contribu- tor. In 1S65-7 she was one of the edi- tors of Our Young Folks" magazine for children published in Boston. In 1876 she had resided much of the time in Washington.

THE pENITENTIARY.

The annual reports OF the Board OF d.
rectors and Superintendent OF the Virginia
Pententiary, which were laid before the
Governor yesterday, show That that insu-
tuition. which WAS once charge upon inc
State Treasury. now produces pront oil
about $JO,c0O per anuum. very consid-
cradle saving has been effected by the
new law requiring Superintendent Lynn
TO send TO the counties and cities for
prisoners. instead Of having the sheriifs
and sergeant bring the prisoners here. Inc
wisdom OF purchasing q farm has been
fully demonstrated The farm has been
able to supply great quantities or pro-
visions TO the penitentiary. and has also
been made an asylum, as IL were, for IN
valid prisoners.
The board-F. T. Glasgow, president
and Superintendent Lynn continue to APP
peal to the Legislature for money with
which to enlarge the mems cell building
Really IT is crying shame that our state
does not apply the profits of the institu-
ton TO the enlargement OF the peniten-
tiary building. The male convicts are
horribly crowded 1t Is inhumar to pack
them into the close, crowded rooms In
which they are necessarily locked az
nightfall. and which they cannot be al
lowed to leave upon any account Till
morning.
An who know how crowded these cells
are must feel that Virginia is not doing
her duty to these unhappy wretches IN
refusing to give them more breathing
pace.
Not only is more cell-room needed. but
rev laundry a new kitchen. and a new
hospital are required to meet the reason
able wants of the institution. 1t is vast
ly to the credit of the Surgeon. Superin-
tendent, and other officers that the health
of the prisoners has been so well main
tanned, crowded as the building is. The
question is often asked: Why are not
more prisoners sent to the farm? The an
swer is. that to do so would be 10 reduce
the force employed by the contractors
here. and to do this would mean non-ful-
filment Of contracts and reduced earnings.
So what is needed-what the State must
DDS to enlarge the cell Dullding 10 make
two or three times as many cells as il
now has.
The penitentiary is managed upon strict
ly business rules. and is now earning
plenty to justify the State in making libe-
raj expenditures to add to the buildings.
We doubt if there is another prison in
this country where convicts are so herded
together as they are in the Virginia peni-
Tertiary. This is great reproach TO Vir-
ginia, and is all the more inexcusable
since the earnings of the prison under the
present management are large enough to
warrant the Legislature in making the
appropriations necessary to supply add
tional cells. and this without a draft upon
the general treasury.

For twenty years, or thereabouts. the
expen 1iture on the State Capitol at AL
bany mas gone on at the rate Of nearly
81 100000 annually. and bids fair TO con-
tinue indefinitely. Not only so. but the
spectre is raised of an additional build
ing, close at hand. for the accommoda-
ton Of certain branches of the State
Government which. it is asserted, cannot
be fifty provided for in the Capitol itself
Indeed. the suggestion has been forth
coming that to provide for the State
Library and the Court Of Appeals IT will
be the duty Of the State 10 buy more
land In the immediate vicinity of the
Capitol and erect on II building for their
special and sole use. The New York
Tribune says the people realize that the
proposal of another building is merely
plan for spending two or three more
millions for the sake of giving employ
ment to a number of faithful workers
and affording the opportunity for rich
pickings for the favored few, and IL de-
clares that 1t is the height OF folly TO go
OF with the present policy. and that 1t
borders on criminal wickedness TO tear
out one part Of the building after an
other in order TO replace them WITH some
thing different, and add other millions
to those that have already gone the
wrong way. Most of the work IS being
done by the day-labor system.

1.-THE race question is undoubtedly big

vent the rush of our citizens 10 that
island 10 aid the insurgents In fact,
they would have won their liberty long
ago had they been Of our kind As II is
the doubt arises whether these people are
capable of self-rule. even should they
succeed In throwing off the Spanish yoke
That very doubt chils the ardor OF thou
sands who would otherwise be eager to
help the Cubans. 1t has always been and
may continue to be the one obstacle that
will prevent them from setting up an
independent government" The Washing
ton Post
Yes; this undoubtedly IS a view that
chills the ardor Of thousands OF our peo-
pie and gives us pause.
The belief. which is quite general in
the South. that the President IS acting
upon information furnished him by Fitz
Lee, together with the foregoing view,
inclines our people to be conservative
We promise to do our fun duty in case of
war. but we would not have our country

after many hours of continuous spasms.
He had taken the Pasteur cure. ineffec-
tually. Six other of the boys who took

of the disease. The eighth boy is still
under treatment I'm New York, but Il Is
believed that he will recover post
norton examination of Henry's body
was made by several physicians and
surgeons.
"The examination shows but little"
said Dr. Keirie; ''the brain was clotted
with blood. and so were the lungs. The
kidneys also contained blood, but the
heart was empty, showing that the
patient had died from congestion. II
had made a post-mortem upon the boy,
and not knowing that he had died from
rabies. | would have said that he either
died from congestion OF the brain or
lungs. | am confident the boy died from
rabies. one of the strongest symptoms
was the fact that the slightest breath Of
air or any bright object coming In con-
tact with his eyes and sight would put
him in commissions. The boys father
also told me he would snap at him and
try to bite him. | am confident the

BRADLEY JOHNSON on CUBA.
IL Has u BETTER Government Than
We Had Mt First.
CNew York Correspondence in Baltimore
American.)

tNeW 1Ofh Correspondence III BdftiI1oie
Amerlcan)
General Bradley r. Johnson. Of Balti-
more, was the first speaker tonight in
Cooper Union at a Tremendous outpour-
ing of the friends OF Cuba. at the meet
ing of the Cuban League President
Ethan Allen, who presided. introduced
General Johnson as the well-known SOL
der and historian.
General johnson said: / claim that 80
per cent. OF the American people are I'm
favor of the independence of Cuba, and
that - per cent. are in favor OF the
United States assisting Cuba to secure
that independence For one hundred
years there has not been a President of
the United States who ever dared tell
Congress he would veto their action, nor
has any Secretary of State communicated
To a foreign Power its intention i'm such
matters. And yet I have read in the
newspapers that such action has been
taken ia this case. Such an indecent
exhibition l will not believe until l have
more proof
"The executive power IS vested in the
President. His duty it is to execute the
Law, and the law In these United
States is the will Of the people. No
power in the land can long defy this will.
In dsregarding the action of Congress,
the President would be absolutely inie-
feasible. Suppose that Congress recog-
nized the independence of Cuba. and a
minister 10 that country were appoint
ed. If the President ordered that the
minister's salary be withheld from him,
the President would be liable to impeach-
ment."
General Johnson then went on to
fharQ q ant Exy
the Cubans I'm Cuba. They have a Presi-
dent, he said. a Cabinet. and better
government than the Continental Con-
Sress had when the independence Of this
country was won. The Continental Con-
gress never passed a law. never levied n
dollar, and had no established place OF
meeting. They had no capital no Cxecu-
tive. and no White House. Commander-in-
Chief Gomez has a more powerful gov
eminent In Cuba than George Washing
ton ever had in this country until the
country was free. General johnson
quoted from the official census Of Cuba
in 1888 TO show the falsity of the asser-
ton that the whites were I'm the minority
on the island, and said there would be
no danger Of race trouble N the free re-
public Of Cuba. ut is the plain duty o,
Congress-" concluded the General. Ito
recognize the independence of Cuba, and
to send minister there. not next month
or next year. but at once. Every emo
tion, every Obligation. bids us as Ameri-
cans TO recognize Cuban independence.
and Cuba Libre would be the youngest.
the fairest, and the loveliest State in th-
| galaxy of republics. 1t should be rep
resented by n figure erect. with sword
in hand, giving real expression 10 the
motto: "Sc Semper Tyrannis." The

The Example of France.

The Cuban resolutions adopted by the

ample of France. whose people aided this
country in our war for independence.
This Is the example which the Federation
of Labor would like the United States

ration. or put aside as unworthy of no.
tice France. IL is perhaps worth while

MES bat also by hostility toward Great
Britain If we should take our cue
from France. and should proceed to do

be actuated by hostility toward Spain.
