st. Johns. N F.. April 2S.-Anxiety is

Immediately. Three of them are in a
comatose condition. and it is feared
that one will not live through the

Their sufferings were terrible. 1t was

1t seems from what can be snatched
from their incOherent rawlings that four

the rescued dorv were taken from the
water almost drowned They were the
first to perish. The third who died was

intense cold made it almost impossible
for them to do anything in the way of

The committees confidently expect
SC. 600 visitors. while other estimates
run as high as 100000. The North
American Turnerbund has societies in
all parts of the country, being particu-
larlv strong in Milwaukee, Cincinnati,
New York, Brooklyn, Pittsburg and st.

Nearly every other city of any size
has announced that it will send rep

Rir Race Next SATURDAY..

San Francisco. April 2S.-The Ingle-
side stake at four miles on Saturday
next gives every promise of being the
best long distance race seen in many
wears. 1t has heretofore been rather
a difficult task to secure more than
three or four starters, but there are at
least u horses in training for the
stakes on Saturday. The Pacific Coast
Jockey club guarantees the stake to be
worth 81 600.
The probable starters are Schiller,
Damien, Lobengula, Wawaona, Wheel
of Fortune. The Bachelor, Can't Dance,
Lucretia Borgia, Marcel and Little
Bob. The most doubtful starter in the
above list is Wheel of Fortune.
Four of these horses are to start in
the two-mile race this afternoon and
their starting in the four-mile will
hinge to some extent on the manner in
which they acquit themselves today
At any rate it is almost certainty
that there will be seven or eight start
ers on Saturday, which will be the
biggest field in the history of recent
long distance races.
The special race in which Ruinart
and Buckwa figure has at last been
The Pacific Coast Jockey
club has agreed to add $3.50 for a mile
race on Saturday. The starters and
weights are:
Buckwa, 125; Ruinart, 122; Altamax,
107, and The Roman, 104.
This should prove TO be a capital
race. and if the weather permits, this
seasons sport at Ingleside will close
in a blaze Of glory.

Denver. Col. April 2s.-A special to
the Republican from Santa Fe, n. NJ,
says:
United States Marshal Fred Higgins
and a posse of five today had a running
fight with Black Jacks gang of des-
peradoes in the mountains of western
Grant county, n. NJ, 1 miles east of
Clifton, Ariz., and killed Sid Moore,
one of the desperadoes. The others es-
capped. Under secret Instructions from
the postoffice department at Washing
ton, United States Marshal Hall of this
territory has kept the Higgins posse in
the field along the New Mexico and
Arizona border for two months past on
the lookout for the Black Jack gang.
Last night dispatch came to the mar
shals office here from the postmaster
at Clifton, saying the desDeradoes had
been seen yesterday 10 miles east of
that town. Higgins was ordered to the
scene, and striking the trail at dawn
this morning, be followed it till 8
O'Clock. when he and his men overlook
the Black Jack party, which includes
some of the most notable cutthroats
ever banded together in the west. A
hot fight ensued, but when Moore fell
from his horse, shot through the heart
wheeled their horses and escaped in
the mountains.
Moore's BODY was taken to Clifton
tonight He is believed to be one of
the two men who some two weeks ago
called at the ranch home of George c.
Smith, the wealthy stockman in west
ern Socorro county, and after dining
with him murdered him and seriously
Mounaed lis cook. The Masonic fra
ternity offer 81, 500 reward for Smiths
murderer, and the United States will
pay $500 for each of Black Jacks band,
dead or alive.
Moore is supposed to hail from Texas.
He had but recently joined Black Jacks
band. and is the fourth member killed
by officers os the law within six
months. These desperadoes have oper-
ated for a year along the Mexico and
Arizona boundary line, and have killed
several men and robbed a score of coun-
try stores, postofnces and mail coaches.

Sultan is Willing.

London, April 2S-Matters at Athens
are likely to remain unchanged until
the ministerial crisis is settled, when
overtures from the powers to inter-
vene are expected. The SULTAN is said
to be willing to listen to terms.
The downfall of the Delyannis cabi-
net is taken for granted, though it has
not actuall-r occurred. NJ. Ralli, who
is likely to succeed Delvannis, was
equally keen for war.
Little or nothing seems to be known
at Athens or is reported to her as to
the movements of the Greek fleet. The
only news of actual fighting in progress
at present comes from Valestino. which
commands the road to Volo. Possibly
this indicates an intention of the Turks
to march southwark.
1T is said that Edhem Pasha has sent
a white flag TO Volo with the assurance
that the Turkish troops will inflict no
damage upon the city or citizens. There
seems little doubt, therefore, that his
intention is to occupy Volo.
The Greek. forces now extend in IA
mile lire from Pharsalos to Velostino.

and the road leading TO Athens by way

ON THE DIAMOND.
Threatened Baseball Revolt.

Washington, April 2S.-There are at least
two good reasons why the threatened
revolt of certain ball players against
the National League will not succeed
said Uncle Nick Young, president of
the league, when the subject was
preached to him. In the first place" he
continued, there IS no longer lack of
professional ball players. The market is
overstocked with ambitious and promising
players and the conditions are entirely
different now from what they were when
the brotherhood instruction was attempt
ed There are ten minor leagues in eX
istence today. and if every player in the
L National League clubs should desert
the league, we could still fill the vacan-
cies without the slightest difficulty.
The second most important point
against the league is the lack of financial
backing. To make the proposed revolu
ton go. opposition teams will have to be
located in Philadelphia. New York, Pitts
burg, Boston, Cincinnati and Chicago.
The opposition would be obliged to Sc
cure desirable grounds-not a small item
of expense in some of the cities named.
1t would take several years hard work
and q great outlay of money to come
anywhere near equalling the old and we'll
tablished league organization"
