The Short-Legged Run her Won a Dash and
 Caused COmmotion.
The Talent Confronted With Perplexing Problems at
 Oakland.
Ojaf Dovvned Field of Youngsters Rubicon Caused Trouble for
 the Books.

There was one race decided at Oak land yesterday, that caused considera- ble confusion. It was the opening five and a half furlong scramble, the "doggiest" event of the card. Gold Bug won, and whenever the short legged sprinter scores there is always trouble brewing. The last time out Gus Wilson rode him, and he showed nothing. Yesterday the eX-hurdle rider Bob Cairns, had the mount, and at one time the ring laid 15 to l about him. Just before the horses were called to the post. a colored trainer by the name of Lee attempted to give the horse a shot," but was caught with the goods on. and later was ruled off. At any rate. Gold Bug was played down to sevens, and in a drive beat Tom Smith a length. Then the purse was pro- tested on the ground that the winner was not eligible to start, having won a race at Santa Ana some time last fall While the officials were racking their brains over the muddle, those in on the know were cashing their tickets.
 The racing throughout was most or dinary. Of the favorites served up but two were successful in taking purses. The season Is drawing to a close and first choices are d dangerous propo- sition.
 In the four -furlong gallop for two year-olds oJai, against which to l was once obtainable, outfooted his field. winning easily from Canace. Sweet Cakes. the faVorite, was third.
 The -furlOng sellfng sprint next de- cided resulted in a handy win for Va lencienne. The St. Carlo lilly was sec ond choice in the betting to Good Friend, and taking the front position in the stretch won ridden out from the favOrite. Official was a good third.
 The mile and a sixteenth run was a windfall for Paul Pry. The ring laid 6 to against the chestnut horse and he won easily from Robair. coming on from fourth position. In a hard drive the 40 to l shot Metaire secured show honors flpm Twinkle Twink.
 The wise play sent Rubicon to the post favorite for the second six-fur- long run. McLight opened favorite, but did not receive the caucus nomi- nation, receding to twos. Rubicon led throughout, and driving at the finish got the verdict over Oddson a neck McLight, away from the post poorly, was third.
 The final mile selling run went to Thelma. Burke's mare got all the best of the start. and backed from to l down to to 2. was never headed, lead ing out the to favorite, Refugee, by four lengths.

COLONEL MOSBY TO SENATOR
WHITE.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 9

SAN FRANCISCO, June %.
To Hon. Stephen NJ. White, U. S. SEN
ate, Washington, D. c.:
Dear Sir:-I have been informed that
q friend of mine, the Rev. 5. f. Chap
man, OF Virginia, who has just been ap-
pointed a chaplain in the U. S. army,
recently requested Senator Perkins and
yourself TO call with him on the Presi-
dent in my behalf. AS soon as / heard
OF it l wrote to Chapman requesting
nim to inform you that be had done so
without any authority from me, and
without my knowledge or consent. VI
course he acted from the best motives
OF friend hip. When war became i'm
minent | wrote and telegraphed to
General Miles, because he was COM
mander-in-chief of the army, offering
my services as soldier, without any
conditions as to rank, but expressing
desire to 90 with the advance of the
amy under General Miles, as do not
went to be lef, with the home-gua,d5
on the Pacific coast. received
u very friendly answer from
him, saying that he wanted my
eivices and had recommended
me TOR commission. Afterwards
[ got telegram from him saying that
influence Was requ d, and suggesting
nat | should communicate with my
Senators. To this replied that | bad
no Influence TO rely on except my re-
cord as soldier, with which the Presi-
deaf and the Secretary of War ought
to be familiar, as they served In the
Shenandoah valley, and especially as
he President in the first interview |
mad with him told me that l had kept
him miserable al the time ne was
there.
BY ny answer to Gen. Miles did
not mean 10 intimate an opinion that L
had exhibited military capacity that
warranted my appointment, but that
ain the big wars that made ambition
virtue" those who have the appointing
power had iull opportunity of judging
Of my fitness to command, and nothing
could he said now that ought to have
any influence on their judgment. The
record was made up, and could not
now he amended. | confess that / had
a hope that my services would be ac-
cepted by the government, as General
Grant had paid me tribute in his
memoirs, and President Hayes, who
served in the same regiment with Presi
Mckinley, had given me a commission
to represent the United States in
foreign country
l hope that you and Governor Perk-
ins will understand lthis letter as q
simple explanation due to myself, and
not as complaint of any one.
Very resi- fully,
JOHN 5. MOsBY.

BLINDED BY MOoNBEAMs.

With her crew nearly blind from the
fierce rays of the equatorial moon in
the South Atlantic ocean, the British
ship John Brambles, 160 days out from
Java, was brought into this port last
week with some difficulty and anchor
ed in the Delaware river opposite the
city. Part of the time nearly all OF the
crew roamed about the vessels deck in
u helpless condition from a complaint
which has since been declared by med
ical experts to be moon blink, which
causes temporary blindness, and often
insanity.
Before the Equator was reached
twenty of the crew were unable to ap-
pear on deck from sickness, which at
the time was supposed to have been
caused by the chemical decomposition
Of the cargo of sugar.
They were in physically good condi,
tian, with the exception of their sight,
which YVES entirely gone the moment
they appeared on deck.
At times the sick men raved like
unatics, one named ]. William Har-
graves, of Bradford, England. became
delirious and died soon afterward, in
reat agony, and his body was buried
at sea. Another named John Curtis
was sent to St. Agnes Hospital for
medical treatment immediately on the
vessels arrival here.
While such attacks are rare they
have been known to take place on
board vessels. The Brambles has ou
board full cargo of sugar loaded at
Sourabaya. The weather was fair, the
nights for weeks having been without
cloud. II there had been storms TO
obscure the moon there is no doubt
that the crew would have escaped the
long sickness which they have endured.
