Two Fine Ones Meet.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 27.-This after noon more than 5000 people were at Cumberland Park to witness the race between Robert J and John R Gentry and also to see the pair attempt to low CT the double team pacing record. The track was smooth, the day perfect and no wind. But the track lacked one thing, elasticity. The long continued drought seemed to have absorbed all the moisture, leaving the track below the surface hard.
 The two horses got off we'll and it was race in each heat until the stretch was reached, when Robert J. broke badly each time. The large crowd was enthusiastic and cheered lustily the winner. Time, 2:071, 2:05%
 The attempt to drive the pair against the double team record failed. Several efforts were made to get thsm to go, but both broke so badly and frequent ly that the trial was abandoned.

YUKON RELIEF EXPEDITION,
COOPERATION OF UNITEI
STATES AND CANADA.
At Skaguay Our Force Will Be join
ed by the Mounted Police of Can
ada-Satisfactory Conference.

Washington, Dec. 3O-The arrange
ment effected by Mr.. Sifton, in behalf
of Canada, and the war department,
conteinplates that the relief expedi-
ton shall be executed jointly by the
United States army and force of the
mounted police of Canada, which con-
stitutes the military arm of the Do
minion. The United States force will
proceed with the relief stores to Ska
quay where they will be joined by the
Canadian mounted police, about 40 in
number, and the two forces will then
proceed together to the points where
the relief is to be distributed.
The determination as to Skaguay is,
however, still open. The Canadian Of
ficialS concede much latitude to the
American authorities in the actual dis
tribution, recognizing that the eXped1-
ton is fitted out on this side, although
a considerable part of it's work will be
done on the Canadian side of the Dor
der. No duties will be imposed on the
stores carried by the relief expedition.
Mr.. Sifton also held a conference with
Secretary Gage and discussed the I'M
satisfactory condition of customs regu-
lations along the border, and at the
coast ports, where goods are received
by one country for transportation to
feeling that an Improvement of the
system could be made, and negotiations
are in progress which are hoped to eff

RE|LLY'S MODEL YOUNG Man
ALL THE SAME HE ROBBED
REILLY RIGHT AND LEFT.
Description of Mr.. Reilly's Clerk,
Who Was Never Known to Drink
or Smoke-The Property Stolen.

New York, Dec. 30.-The Times says:
James a. Reilly, manager of the Amer
lean Estates association, has notified
the police that his clerk, Joseph Lock
ley, has disappeared, after securing
thousands of dollars by means of raised
checks and title deeds
Joseph Lockley is about 80 wears of
age, tall, slender and smooth shaver,
with dark hair and eyes. He has been
in the employ of the association for
over seven years. His reputation was
excellent. He was never known to
drink or smoke. Mr.. Reilly looked
upon him as a model young man. In
all the seven years he had been in his
office he had never once been under
suspicion. He obtained about $4,000
from the bank in which the association
kept it's accounts. The title deeds he
took, although they represent hundreds
of thousands of dollars, can be of lit
tie value to him, as the property is all
recorded. 1t is believed by Mr.. Reilly
that he took the books, papers and
deeds that he might have an opportu-
nifty to offer to restore them to the as
ISOLATION if he were assured that he
would not be followed.
The association is composed of the
heirs of James McHenry and Thomas
w. Kennard, who, over 80 years ago,
built the Atlantic & Great Western
railroad. This road is known as the
New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio, and
is a part of the Erie system. There
are heirs of these men, both in this
country and England. The associations
property is valued at over 81, OOO 900,
which is invested in Cleveland, O.; Buff
falo and Jersey City, and in 125,OOO
acres of coal and iron lands in Penn

A World Correspondent Tells the
Story OF His Visit.
A TALK ON AUTONOMY
REJECTED ALL oVERTURES
MADE BY M'KINLEY.
At the Same Time Grateful for the
Presidents Invitation to Alneri-
can Citizens to Render Relief TO
Suffering Cubans-Weyler News
papers Under the Ban.

Havana. Dec. 9O-Sylvester Scovei.
correspondent of the New York World,
and Mrs. Scovel returned tonight from
their visit to Maxine Gomez, on the
Demaiagua estate, Sancti Spiritus.
They stayed two days and nights with
the insurgents, who dined and serenad-
ed them. Mrs. ScoveI expresses herself
as much pleased with the trip. 1t was
the first time that an American woman
had visited the camp of General Gomez.
M. Scovel says that Senior Rafael
NIadrigal carried q communication
from the United States government,
and as he (ScOveD had none, he went
through the Spanish lines with a per-
NIT from General Blanco, who gave IT
on the understanding that he would
talk autonomy to General Gomez,
which he did.
General Gomez refused the over
lures, basing his refusal on the con-
Viction that Spain could not hold out
two years longer. General Gomez ex-
pressed himself as well satisfied with
the present condition of affairs. He
said also that he was grateful for
President McKinley's invitation to
American citizens to render relief to
help the Cubans.
Mr.. Scovel and Senior Madrigal were
sometimes in considerable danger, ow-
ing to the fact that the American flag
they carried looks at a distance like an
insurgent flag.
General Gomez had an escort of from
400 to GOO cavalry.
Senior AIadrigaI is expected tomorrow
Tonight General Bernal Seguira and
Gonzales Parade returned from the
field. 1t is rumored in Spanish circles
that while the official relations between
General Gomez and General Calixto
Garcia are running smoothly, privately
they are on bad terms.

BRAVE OLD MAN.
No Terms Will Suit Gomez But Com
plete Independence.

New York, Dee. ga correspondent
Of the Herald has just returned to
Havana, after having visited the camp
Of General Gomez. After a long and
perilous ride through the country in
tested with Spanish troops, he reached
General Gomez camp Dec 1S and
found the general in excellent health
and spirits. He was able, for the first
time in many months, to mount his
horse and make a long journey of in
spectiOn Of the various camps into
which the men under his immediate
command We're divided.
The correspondent put before General
Gomez the programme of autonomy to
secure his opinion. The general smiled
contemptuouSly, after glancin;S p over a
copy Of Havana paper containing the
terms. He said:
There is no use wasting time in dis
cUssing these terms. 1t makes no diff
terence whether they be regarded as
liberal or not; the fact remains that
we are not fighting for autonomy, but
for Independence. This Spain seems
utterly unable to realize.
AS far as annexation is concerned, I
cannot admit its possibility. To that
proposition 1 make the same reply as
! do TO the autonomy plan-thas> our
object is independence. We have among

erything to this sacred cause For my
self, / am an old man, who now has
bat one object in life, and that is to

TWO mines at Louisville, throwing be

The stand taken by the Rex COM

WI

formal challenge of the champion, Fitz-

I'VE have told Corbett what he can

want to re-enter the ring at all, but at
last persuaded him to promise to fight
again on certain conditions. These
were, as I explicitly stated, that he
would consider fighting only two men

promise that he would give Choynski
the next show at him. He cannot get
out of it by saying Choynski must come
down to 15S pounds, for he knows Joe

The New York Herald presents reT 70
auctions of the first photographs actu-
ally sent by telegraph by the inventor,
Ernest A. Hummel of st. Paul.
There is no limit to the distance over
which pictures can be sent any more
than the limit to which electricity can
carry an ordinary message. Mr. Hum
mel's experiments, which proved the
success of his device and resulted in
the pictures now published, were made
over wire 800 miles long.
Mr.. Hummel is a young manufactur-
ing ieweler in st. Paul, and his in
vention is the result of numerous eX-
perimentS thought out and carried out
during all his spare moments for the
last two years He believes the instru-
ment will be especially valuable in
helping to catch criminals fleeing from
justice by scattering their photographs
over the country with the speed of
electricity, instead of by the cOmpar-
atively slow medium of the mails This
however, is only an incidental use for
the invention. In scores of ways the
device can be put to practical use.
The HummeI invention takes up
about the same space as a typewriter
and its table, or a sewing machine. Its
principal features, of course, are the
lfdnSInlICef anu receiver. Each OIL THESE
is operated by a diminutive electric
motor, hardly as large as the case of a
pair of spectacles. There is also a
complicated system of clockWOrk which
controls the movements as part of the
machine.
The transmitter and receiver each has
a moving carriage, operated by the
electric motor. In these carriages are
fixed the pencils which are used in
copying the pictures to be sent. The
carriage of the transmitter has a pro-
jecting arm with a vulcanized rubber
extremity, in which is fitted the sharp
platinum point.
By an ingenious device the clockwork
