Successful Trial of the Australian Horse

Successful Trial of the Australian Horse
Race System at Ingleside.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 15.-The
Australian system Of starting was
given a trial at Ingleslde yesterday,
and the result of the trial will be
noted with considerable interest by
racing associations and turfmen
throughout the country. If the test
given can be taken as a criterion. IL
is safe to assert that the day of the
starter will soon be over, as the starr
was an unequaled success in every
particular.
The fourth race, a mile handicap,
was selected for the test, and ten
starters Were drawn up in line facing
the machine. The horses had scarcely
been at the post forty seconds when
the trigger was pressed and they were
sent away in perfect alignment. It
was the most perfect start ever wit
messed in this section and elected
thunders OF applause from the spec
tators.
The machine consists of two bands
OF strong webbing, each about 4 inches
wide, made fast at both ends to a
frame Whlch slides upward n away
from the horses at an angle of As de-
grees. The lower band is about i feet
above the ground, and the upper per-
haps a foot higher. The frame to
which the webbing is attached runs to
q cable attached to a pulley, which is
about Il feet higher, on a post some
20 feet beyond the starting post.
The power to draw the barrier is
The frame, before being raised upon
its flying journey, is held in position
by a trigger on ooth sides of the track,
the connection between the triggers
being a wire stretched across the
track. AS 500 as the horses are lined
up facing the webbing, which is per-
haps a foot away. the starter pulls a
lever which raises the triggers. and
sends the webs flying instantly and
nolselessly upward and GU tward, and
the horses are off in a line.

Parliament.
LONDON, Feb. l3.-The speech 81
Queen Victoria from the throne, deliv.
cred IN the House Of Lords at the
opening OF Parliament yesterday, fur.
nished the occasion for some remark.
ably pacific declarations on the Venez.
uelan boundary dispute. From the
remarks of Sir William Vernon Har-
court and the reply of Hon. A. J.. Bal
four, First Lord of the Treasury, it is
clearly apparent that both the Con.
servative and Liberal leaders are de-
termined upon a pacific solution of the
dispute. These declarations were
made in the House of Commons imme-
diately after the reading Of the speech
in that body.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said
he was rejoiced at the paragraph in
the queens speech with regard to.
Venezuela, as it held out the hope
that the question could be settled at
an early date.
1t has been said that the appoint
ment Of the Venezuelan commission.

ernment of Great Britain. Happily

view. The commission is to inform
the government of the United States,
with which M government desires to
cooperate. How can the United States
of America cooperate with us unless
they have the information which will
enable them to cooperate in settling
the boundary?
Hon. A. j. Balfour, first lord of the
treasury, and Conservative leader in
the house, was loudly cheered when
he arose to reply to the Liberal leader.
He said: sSir William Vernon Har-
court mas devoted much time to at
lacking views which the government
has never held. Neither I nor my
friends ever said that the Monroe
doctrine was one to which we had a
right to object. 1t is of British origin,
and | do not see why we should crit
icise it.
1.-The American commissioners ION
the Venezuelan boundary have APP
piled to us to aid them with any in
formation we have on the Venezuelan
question, and we have promised to
give them all the information we are
able to give at the earliest possible
moment. (Cheers.) No false pride or
diplomatic punt1cillo will be allowed to
stand in the way Of d settlement as far
as we are c~oncerned.'

The Introduction of the Remedial Bill
Causes Great Excitement.
OTTAWA, Feb. l3.-The Hon. A. r.
Dickey, minister of justice, introduced
the Manitoba remedial bill in the
House Of Commons last night. The
features of the bill have been out
lined. Mr.. Dickey announced that the
dominion government expects Mani
toba to facilitate the passage of the
bill. If it did not, further legislation
would be asked. The bill was given a
first reading. 1t is in thesecond read
ing that the debate will begin.
The Introduction of the remedial
bill caused the widest excitement in
Manitoba, the province most directly
interested in the passage of the meas
ure. The Greenway government
openly announces that any attempt to
coerce Manitoba into submission will
bring on serious trouble and perhaps
rebellion.

Found Dead in an Area Way.

PLATTsMoUTH, Neb., Feb. 13.-The
dead body Of Clous Speck, az e%x-saloon
keeper of this city, was found about II
o'clock Tuesday morning lying in an
area way at the rear end Of a business
house. He was last seen alive at about
1880 Monday evening, and it is pre-
sumed that he fell into the pit, which
is about twelve feetdeep, and sustained
fatal injuries. Foul play is not sus-
pected, as he was a very p%eaceable
man and had no known enemies. When
found his body was frozen stiff. Mr..
Specl1 was fifty-six years of age and
has resided in Plattslnouth for twenty
five years. A wife and nine children
survive him. An inquest was deemed

sage on the Waller case. The message

seller That q E1tx-Maher NH Cannot be
Prevented.
Ell PAso, Texas, Feb. 13.-Dan Stu
art and his aids still insist that Fitz-
simmons and Maher will meet in the
squared circle near FL Paso Friday and
wise ones insinuatc that the prize
fight managers have something up
their sleeve that neither the Mexican,
United States nor the Texas authori-
ties are aware of. The managers
and principals of the minor battles
betray considerable uneasiness and
fear that while the big mill may be
pulled off that it will be the only one
that will go through. They are all in
training, however, and working as
hard as if all the fights were going to
come off as scheduled.
Governor Ahumada of chihuahua
was IN Jaurez yesterday afternoon
and says the fights cannot come off on
Mexican soil, but in answer to a ques-
ton put by a custom officer as to
whether he thought the battle would
be pulled off significantly replied,
ssYo voy," which means in English,
u am going" He spent the after
noon at s'Fitz's" quarters and last
evening attended a boxing exhibition
in El Paso in which Dixon and Wal
colt participated, and seemed to enjoy
the friendly s~et-tos, which were very
tame. Governor Culberson has also
been credited with a desire to see the
mill it it took place across the border.
The bull fighting carnival has also
been affected by the hurrah about the
ii cfi0 nr0rroro orl hoe haar oo11a1 >Ac
for the present. Concessionaire Da-
guerre of Jaurez said yesterday, how
ever, that there would be a bull fight
arranged for Wednesday of next week,
for the benefit of the kaleidoscope peo-
pie, who will endeavor to reproduce it.
Dan Stuart was at headquarters
early this morning smiling and con-
fdent as usual and the report that a
company Of Mexican cavalry had ar
rived at Juarez did not disturb his
equanimity. He is as mysterious as
ever as to the location of the battle
ground. but says the fights will surely
come off as scheduled.
Governor Hughes of Arizona last
night wired Adjutant General Mabry
OF Texas, who represents Governor
Culberson here, asking if there was
any danger of the fights taking place
near San Simon in Arizona, and Cen
eral Mabry promptly t%elegraphed him
that he need have no fears, as the
fights would take place only a few
miles from Ell Paso. General Mabry
further announced that no armed
force OF Pinkertons would be tolerated
in El Paso or in Texas, and if any,
thing of that kind was attempted, ar
rests would follow.
Parson Davies arrived this morn
ing with Sullivan and Ryan and they
will appear at the opera house to-
night
