"Did you notice the broad grim that
covered the couutenance of several re-
publ leans about the city yesterday.
said a democrat to Round About this
morning. We'll those smiles were all
caused by the announcement that
President Mckinley would not recoe-
nize the civil service snare and that
there would be several postoffice and
custom louise jobs open alter the iour' n
of March. 1t is >ad that several OF
them have been out rubbing up their
old pistols preparatory to getting Job
as river guard, " h lie others were walk
ing around the streets studying the
numbers of the different houses in an
ticipation of getting d letter carrier 5
pos ton. That civil service delu~ion
has been a wet blanket on the aspira-

L. Blum in Trouble.

L. Blum, the well known horse
dealer, is being sough t for by the Nj. X
! co City p lice. on The chargs of melt
ing Thomas Riley and Edward Bur
lows to ruin the Indlanilla race course.
| Riley is in jail, Burrows, who scente d
danger and started for Ell Paso, was
arrested en- route to this city ana
! taken back; and at last accounts Blum
had not been found.
The cause of the trouble is stated by
Col. Pate to be due to the fact that L
b bum, who was not allowed to enter
his horses at the races, attempted to
wreck vengeance GU the management
by advising Riley ard Burrows to
com bine with him IN bringing d Syrac-
to the association. THIS was done by
circulating scurrilous reports about
Col. Pate and his associates. The in
sUgdtOr OF the plot assured the uttl-
mate re-u of their endeavOrs would
Oe that he would gain control of the
track. When this had been a com
plished they would be rendered respou-
e1oie positions, thereby insuring their
success, as Capt. William Barron had
promised to supply the Necessary CAPT.
tai to continue racing, as sCon as Col
late had lost the property. TIL un
founded assertions had the effect of in
spring the l-adviSed men with su, h
an amount of boldness that they as
much as threatened some of the honesG
horsemen on the hipodrome with ruin
if they did not join them TO manipulate
the races.
Col. Pate says that with the arrest
and prosecution of these men the track
will nave succeeded in Kidding itself o.!

VISIT OF A PRINCE.
THE GRAND MASTER OF THE COURT
OF AUSTRIA Is HERE.
Prince Khavenhullsr Will Spend the Day
In San Antonio On His Way To
Mexico On a Visit.

San Antonio is today entertaining a
royal guest. The Southern Pacific
west bound passenger train No. Is,
which arrives here at 7:25 M, will
bring in two extra coaches, private
cars known as "OneOnte T. and "On-
eonte H." having on board Prince
Khavenhuller, of the royal house of
Austria, accompanied by his wife,
Countess LubrowSki and DR.. Boucher.
the personal physician of the prince.
The royal party will be met at the
depot by a party of San Antonians,
headed by DR.. Amos Graves, ST., and
an invitation will be extended them
for drive over the city.
Unlike the recent visit of eX-Queen
Lii Prince Khavenhuller will not con-
fine himself to his car, and keep in
hiding from newspaper reporters.
He is said to be of a very cOngenial
nature and a pleasant gentleman to
meet, although a formal introduction
is always necessary for an interview
with his royal highness.
Prince Khavenhuller was born in
Austria Dec. IS, 1889. His full name
is Jean Francois Charles Edward Jo-
seph Nemesius, Prince de Khavenhul-
ler-Metz and Aichelberg, Count Ho-
hen-Ostrowitz, Baron de LOndskron
and Weinberg.
He is a knight of the Golden Fleece
and is grand master of the court of
Austria, and hereditary Lord of Karl
burg. He is numbered among the
most conspicuous digpitaries of Eu-
rope. His ancestral home is the cas-
tie of kammerburg, in Bohemia. and
he is the possessor of the celebrated
Chateau de LndendOrf, while making
his residence in the city of Vienna.
His house was founded in 1880 by
Richard 1 of Khavehull. He married
in 1871, June II, Adine, Counties Clam
Calais.
The coaches occupied by the royal
party are ~hte private cars of Presi-
dent C. p. Huntington, of the South
ern Pacific. The party leaves this
afternoon for Mexico, where he was
thirty years ago, when the lamented
Emperor Macmillan was in power.
The prince dislikes to discuss those
times, as, he says, the recolections are
too sad.
Prince Khavenhuller is here for his
health. After n brief stay in MeXi-
co, he will sail for the West Indies,
and then go to the Astilles, to drink
the balmy air of the isles of the Garth
sea.
