HENRY'S NOTABLE CRUISE.
An Office Boys Sunday Outing on
Jamaica Bay.

When Henry reached the office where

triumphant look was in his eyes.

The passenger who had been the un-
whiting cause of all the excitement in the
meantime boarded his car and rode away
without being further molested by the
scared employees of the company.
Several conductors and gripmen also
tried to eject a passenger from Mcb lister

yesterday afternoon.
E.. c. Howe, a young student, got on the
dummy of the car, and along wi the
others shouted to the passenger to hold

the car and told him to keep his mouth
shut.
Howe answered that he was doing moth
ing wrong, and Crockett could arrest him
if he felt that way. Crockett then grabbed
him by the arm SO hard that it was black
and blue and took him to the City Prison.
A mob followed hooting and jeering.
At the prison Howe was booked for OBJ

MISS MARIE MILLARD.
This Charming Young Prima Donna
Made Her San Francisco Debut at
the TivoIi Last Evening.

Miss Marie Millard, the charming daugh-
ter of Harrison P. MiIlard, the well-known
song writer, made her San Francisco debut
at the Tivoh last evening in the comic
opera of Lorraine" Miss Millard as
Madeline is pretty and sweet-voiced
enough to win the love of king let alone
that OF Lorraine, the young soldier, who is
unaware of his ancestry. In the tender
sentiment OF this rasher martial play, the
song love of the couple bloom into fow
ers of sweetest melody.
The young prima donna is more than a
charming singer; she is an actress, bright.
unaffected and thorough in every detail of
her role, her stage appearance demon
strating the excellent histrionic training
given by her late father.
The staging of Lorraine" also marks
the Ieappearance of Miss Louise Royce, an
old favorite. John ]. Rafael, W. H. West,
Ferris Hartman, Martin Pache, Anna
Schnabel and Irene Null are also cast in
the roll. The costumes and stage effects
are well adapted to the bright music, and
doubtless good hou ses will greet the opera
during this week.

Fleming Formally Presents
His Protest From
Alameda.

Credentials Issued to All Dele

Returns.

Alameda's Fate Will Be Settled by
the State Committee on
Credentials.
CONTEST IN THIRD WARD.

OAKLAND, CAL, June s.-The Demo
cratic County Committee met tonight to
issue credentials and hear protests from
districts that claim that the results of last
weeks primary were obtained by fraud.
Chairman Laymance issued the creden-
tials to all the delegates that the returns
showed to have been elected, with the ex-
ception of the Third Ward. In that ward
W. B. White, the defeated delegate, pre-
sented a protest sustained by Afidavits.
The leading affidavit was sworn to by
B. W. Worley, and the most damaging
statement in it is the following:
After Mr.. White had stated his case the
matter was set over till next Saturday fol
final settlement.
To the surprise of the committee the
much-talked-of contests from Alameda
were not presented, nor was anybody
present to raise any objection to the issu-
ing of credentials to the Laymance dele
gates.
After the committee had adjourned
John T. Fleming of Alameda, vice-chair-
man of the county committee, appeared at
headquarters and toid Chairman Lay
nance that he wished to enter a verbal
protest against the seating of the Lay
nance delegates from Alameda.
"Our grounds are these" said Mr..
Fleming: "In the first place we were
refused a sufficient mum Der of copies of the
roll to run the primaries as we desire d.
We did not consider that under the call
the executive committee had anything
to do with the manner of con-
Quoting our primaries, as it distinctly
stated that the County Committeeman of
the district should supervise the primary.
We claim that many Democrats were dis
franchised; that one polling place at Park
street was insufficient, as it required that
men should come three miles from the
other end of town to vote, and many
stayed away on this account; we also as
sert that If the primaries had been con-
Quoted under the call, we could have
elected our delegation by a vote of to -
In explanation of his position, Mr..
Fleming said: 1--WE opened a polling
place in the west end and kept it open all
day. Four votes were recorded in the
ballot-box, and we claim that if only one
vote had been deposited, it would be sutfi-
cient to uphold our contest. As vice
chairman of the County Committee, l
shall issue credentials to the delegates who
received those four votes"
Mr.. Laymance stated that a verbal pro-
test was not authentic and that Fleming
should have appeared before the whole
com mittee.

AT Odds of 20 to Duke Stevens
Fooled the Bookies a Sec.
ond Time.
TWO CHOICES WON PURSES.
Levena C Beaten Out in an Exciting
Finish-Clancy Took the Hurdle
Event on Artemus.

IF the notorious old rogue Duke Stevens
were 10 line up at lunch time to tooth
some bran mash or bundle of sweet
alfalfa hay and Jockey Charlie Weber hap
pened along on the scene it is dollars to
doughnuts the Duke would lose his appe-
tite. But nevertheless he will exert him
self for Weber, something he will not do
for any other jockey. On June he sad
dened the camp of the bookmakers by
winning a iye-furlong scramble in big
romp, backed down from odds of 30 to /.
Yesterday he was one of ten starters in
the last race of the day at half furlong
further. with Weber on his back. The
bookies laid 20 to 1 against him at one
stage of the betting, and at the conclusion
of the run they once more had cause for
repentance.
Thelma was a to favorite, but when
the field was started Nell Flaherty carried
the webbing away with her, and Snider,
on the first choice, fearful of being entan-
gled in the flying band, pulled his mount
up. Weber shouted the old familiar war
crv in the ear of the Duke and off he
sailed. Never pressed, he won pulling up
bv three lengths. Easel a II to 1 chance,
who kept him close company to the bend
for home, took the place by neck from
Oracle S, to l outsider. The winner
was backed down to 10 to l around post
time.
The programme did not call out the bet
ter class of horses, and up to the victory of
Duke Stevens the talent had been cropping
along in an uncertain way, barely holding
| its own. Montgomery and Carnation,
both odds on choices, were the only ones
! that justified the support accorded them.
The finish to the record event, six-fur-
long sprint, although resulting in the de-
| feat of the to favorite, Levena G, was a
very close and exciting contest After
making all of the running, the first choice
was joined by San Marco and Clacquer less
than a furlong from the wire, and finish
ing next the rail, II. Martin on San
! Marco got his mount past the line head
! in front of the favorite, with Clacquer
beaten but nose for the place. The books
! had 5 to 1 against the winner.
Tortoise got out OF the maiden class, in
the opening four furlong scramble for two
wear olds. The Lone stables Vivo was a
| Slight favorite over FL Ladrone. Tortoise
came through at the end, and won by
| three-parts of q length, with Ell Ladrone a
length before Billy Vice.
| BelIringer was an even-money chance
for the mile and sixteenth hurdle event,
but had an opportune fit of the susks and
was never in the chase. Artemus, with
| Clancy UP, made all of the running and
at the end won easily from Huntsman,
with Arundel finishing in the show. The
winner was to l in the books.
The to favorite, Montgomery, led his
| field throughout in the fourth race, six

CAME FOR MACHINERY,
S. Koenigsberg, a Russian Min
ing Expert, May Buy
Mines Here.

S. Koenigsberg, general manager of
some very rich gold, copper and platinum
mines in the Ural Mountains, is at the
Palace Hotel. Mr.. Koenigsberg arrived
on the steamer Alameda. He has hitherto
been in South Africa, Australia and New
Zealand, in all of which country his COM
pany owns gold and copper mines.
Mr. Koenigsberg is one of the most
eminent mining engineers IN Russia. His
company is very rich. He says the mines
in the Ural Mountains which the COM
pany owns are worth the extraordinary
sum of about 100000.
The mines employ about 5000 men di-
rectly and indirectly, but the methods of
mining there are very primitive.
Zone of the objects 1 have in coming
here is TO study your methods of mining, :"
he said, land the machinery that is used.
l expect to buy very large plant of the
finest American machinery when l have
found out exactly what want.

anime number of mines there, and then

different mine-owners at those places

pany. The company owns a great many
mines in different parts of the world.
eve want only gold and copper mines.
We do not care to look at any other kind.
"Our mines in the Ural Mountains are
on the Siberian side and 1000 miles from
st. Petersburg. They are 300 miles from
any railroad and it requires six days of
travel by rail alone. The mines are in the
province of Perm, the richest mining re-
gion in Russia. The mines are very rich
and very big.
Il have been away from home long
time now and have in my investigations
travelled nearly around the world.
II shall spend several weeks in Cali
fornia, examining mines and making ex-
pert reports on such properties as 1 think
are worth considering. Then l. will go to
Montana, where l will visit the copper
and gold mines and then go on to Michi-
gan. I will examine the great copper
mines of Lake Superior"

bal protest was of no avail, but that he
did it so as not to waive any of mis- rights.
He created some surprise by stating that
he had met Frank Ii. Gould at Stockton
and had conversed with him on the sltua-
ton.
A warm discussion took place between
Mr.. Fleming and Mr.. Rawson, another
committeeman from Alameda. Mr.. Raw
son said that Mr.. FIeming's account OF
how things occurred over there was not
true, and Mr.. Fleming declined to dis
cuss anything with anybody who could
not use gentlemanly language. Mr.. Lay
nance smoothed matters over and Mr.
Flemming proceeded to outline his case.
When he said he had met Mr.. Buckley
in San Francisco Mr.. Laymance said ex-
citedly: "There you are showing your
hand, old man. You've seen Frank Gould
and you met Buckley, and yet some OF
your men say that | was helped by Buck
ley. Let me tell you what Buckley man,
Rothschild, did to me the day OF the prl-
maries. He sent special man over here to
serve some papers on me that would nave

not served till next day. That's the KIND
of help got from Buckley"

Fleming. II merely tried to help out

delegate and this matter will be fought

"You will issue credentials to men who

"Well, / came over here to perform an
unpleasant duty" said Mr.. Fleming. 81
have done it, so good night, gentlemen,
and Mr.. Fleming returned to Alameda.
On the result of these two protests hangs
the fate of Foote and Fitzgerald. Ala
media has four delegates and the Third
Ward has one. The returns showed that
the Laymance- Foote ticket had elected q
out of 35, leaving IA Tor Fitzgerald. Should
the five delegates contested be given to Fitz'
gerald, the figures will be Laymance 16
/ Fitzgerald 19. Every body realizes that
merit will cut no figure in either fight al
Sacramento, but that all will depend on
the partisanship of the credentials com
mittee.

CLOSE OF RACING SEASON.
Great Programme at Ingleside
To-MorroW-It VIII Not Be
Ladies' Day."

Tomorrow marks the close OF the racing
season in San Francisco, and the Ingleside
management are making preparations to
see that it is celebrated as the occasion de-
serves. Money will not be spared, and the
big crowd that attends will witness some
grand sport. Long-distance racing has
proved so popular that handicap over
two and quarter miles for $500 purse
has been arranged, with an additional $500
added if the winner breaks the world s
record of 1861, held jointly by Preakness
and Springbok.
The following horses have entered for
the big event: CabrilIo, imp. Fullerton
Lass, Senator Bland, Wawona, Little Grip
ple st. Lee, FlirtiIla. Thornhill, Rey del
Bandidos, imp. Ivy, Articus and Two
Cheers.
Another splendid attraction will be a
handicap at seven furlongs, bringing to-
gether the best three-year-olds on the
track, among them: Peru, Yankee Doodle,
Belle Boyd, Summer Time and Walter J.
For the first time since the popular in
novation was introduced "ladies' day.
will be dispensed with. An immense
throng is looked for, and there will be lit
tie vacant space to spare for those who
pay the usual admission charge. Ingle-
side has been very kind to the fair sex,
and there is no cause for complaint on this
score.
Atkins and Lottridge will leave for
Windsor, Canada, on Saturday with a
string of six horses. Among them are
Belle Boyd, Scarborough, Ell Ladrone and
Quantrell, two very shifty maidens that
will win their way out.
Tortoise pulled up lame after winning
the two-year-old event.
Hanford, who was well backed at long
odds to win the fifth race. was over
anxious on his road to the post and ran
away over two miles with Tommy Butler.
Rumors have been floating around that
Road Warmer and one or Two other horses
were piloted by Jockeys who carried an
electric battery. Weber, who rode Duke
Stevens, was searched for one, but was
found mot guilty"
Tommy Lottridge has severed his busi-
ness connections with Bookmaker George
Rose, and it is said the ex trainer and pen :
ciler do not speak as they pass by. The
coldness is said to have sprung up since
the win of Belle Boyd on June 5, wnen the
stable is said to have taken in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 out of the ring.
