yesterday, Flirt had no difficulty in talk ing the necessary heat for tae race.
 Then came the first heat in the 2:10 pace, with half dozen famous side wheelers. The horses went away well together, with Nichol B. slightly in the lead, but Searehlight soon came out and led from the half to the wire, although closely pressed by Indiana and Nichol B. After sizing up the field Heating put Searchlight in the lead in the sec ond heat and logged home an easy win ner, while in the third heat he almost walked the horse under the wire at the finish.
 John Nolan took the 2:S0 trot with the greatest ease, although in the first heat Miss Beatrice led to the three quarter pole. With these two races out of the way, the 2:17 trot was started late in the afternoon and it was hard work getting the field together at the start. Ed Locke had the best of it in the first heat, but in the next Parnell beat him out at the wire, although El- lert came in ahead of both, but broke just before the finish, receiving a set back This heat was the most excit- ing of the day, dozen being punched from start to finish and there was great difficulty in placing the horses as they came under the wire.
 Tomorrow the great Massachusetts stake will be fought for, with Directum Kelly as the favorite. The summary:

and then, Immediately after the read
ing of the journal mr.. BOutelle (Rep.,
Maine), chairman OF the naval COM
mittee, asked unanimous consent for
the consideration of the resolution
prepared by the navy department and
ton Of the Maine disaster brought
members in crowds from TIE cloak
rooms and Hobbies and they thronged
down the aisies to listen.
The spectators in the galleries leaned
over with breathless interest as Sec
rotary Longs letter was read.
1T is unnecessary to say" said Mr..
Boutelle, at the conclusion of the let
ter from Secretary Long, that the
work of salvage should begin at once,
and that arrangements with the wreck
ing companies which have necessary
outfits should not be delayed.
I deem it proper to call attention
to the fact that Secretary Long, recog-
nizing that congress is in session, has
come here for authority to do this
work, instead of straining any author
ity he might possess Independently.
Mr.. Bailey called attention to the fact
that the resolution only spoke of re-
covering the bodies, not of their re-
turn. to this country, but he added
that there need be no sticking on this
point.
Mr.. Boutelle replied that the secre-
tary had referred in his letter to his
duty in that regard. He said he had
just received a telegram from Sec
rotary Long this morning containing
the latest information from Captain
Sigsbee, and that it might be of inter
est to the members.
Read it," Read it," came in chorus
from the members, and Mr.. Boutelle
then read the cable from Captain Sigs-
bee which had already been given out
by the navy department. Mr.. SulZer
Dem., n. ", asked Mr.. BOutelle if he
had any information otherwise that
threw any light upon the cause of the
disaster.
Il must reply as 1 did yesterday"
replied Mr.. Boutelle, that I regret to
say 1 have not. But all the informa-
ton at hand seems to strengthen the
belief that it was due to accident"
The resolution was then adopted
unanimously.
The debate on the bankruptcy bill
filed the day, the speakers being

CABINET MEETING.
President Assumes the Names Ex-

Washington, Feb. 1S-The only alb
sentees from the cabinet meeting to-
day were Secretaries Sherman and
Alger. The disaster to the Maine was
the principal topic of discussion. Sec
rotary Long received a cablegram from
Captain Sigsbee giving an account of
the funeral yesterday of the ii victims.
substantially as cabled last night to
the Associated Press and printed in
the morning papers. Although the
president and members of the cabinet
await with interest the result of the
inquiry into the cause of the disaster
there remains scarcely a doubt in their
minds it was an accident purely, such
as might happen at any time. This
view of the matter, however, will not
influence the president to stop short of
a most searching investigation into all
facts that may have any possible bear
ing upon the case. Until facts are
shown to the contrary, the president
will assume that the explosion came
from within.
The president is receiving a large
of messages commencing him
for the course he has pursued in this
matter as we'll as in the late De LONE

JACK TAR STORY SPOILED.
Saw An Illuminated Object That
Emitted Smoke.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The New York
Herald this morning prints the follow
ing from its Key West correspondents:
/ learn on undOubted authority that
one of the MANNED sailors who was
taken. to the Marine hospital, out of
gratitude of the kind treatment and
careful nursing received from surgeons
and attendants, has broken the seal OF
silence enjoined by his superior Of
ficers before leaving Havana and
makes a statement. the truth OF which
cannot be doubted and which points
to the deliberate destruction of the
vessel.
The sailor, whose name for obvious
reasons is withheld for the present,
says ne was on watch on the forward
deck shortly before the explosion oc-
Cured.
While looking over the Names bow
into the dark waters of the bay he saw
black object slowly coming toward
the vessel. The object, whatever it
was. was apparently Illuminated and
emitted smoke.
He suspected something wrong and
started to communicate the fact to the
officer of the day, when the explosion
took place.
The Maine was raised in the air and
he was thrown to the deck stunned and
bleeding. He also says that simultane-
ously with the raising of the Maine he
saw the steam launch which was
moored alongside the Maine, also
thrown out of the water
This occurred before the second ex-
plosion in the Names magazine was
felt and which sent her to the bottom.

FAIR TREATMENT.
How Sigsbee's Last Dispatch Is In
terpreted.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The navy depart
ment tonight received the following mes
sage from Captain Sigsbee at Havana:
visited Captain General Blanco and other
chiefs of civil and military branches of
government and returned thanks for the
great demonstration of sympathy yes
terday and for their continued care for
the dead and for other good offices now
being exercised in our behalf. Received
additional assurances of sympathy and
desire TO help. Spanish authorities feel
situation acutely. l have promised to
maintain official character of all work
done on wreck of the Maine. No friction
anywhere.
(Signed.) 'SIGSBEE."
Ths reference to the official character
of the work is interpreted at the navy
department that no divers hired by news
papers will be allowed to investigate the
wreck. As to the published statements
that Spain intends TO claim a joint inter
est in the work of the court of inquiry.
the department says that under the
harbor regulations of any civilized port.
the local authorities are bound to make an
official investigation of any wreck oc-
curing in their jurisdiction. irrespective
of the nationality of the vessel or of any
investigation by another government in
case it is d craft owned by a foreign
power. AS the matter is understood here
this is the only rights Spain claims in the
case and 1t is conceded to be entirely fair.
This statement was confirmed at the
Spanish legation
A message was received this afternoon
that the coast steamer Bache with divers
and apparatus aboard. had sailed from
Tampa for Havana.

AN IRREPARABLEsLOSS.
Temperance Received a Hard Blow
In Frances WiIlard,s Death.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-Although the fatal
termination of Miss Wizards illness
was not entirely unexpected in Evan
ston. it was nevertheless an intense
shock to her friends when they heard
of it today. To develop those qualities
of leadership which raised her to a po-
sition of so great prominence as an
advocate of temperance, Miss Willard
was we'll known to many now living in
Evanston. whose friendship was on the
same intimate footing when the great
leader attained the height of her fame
es when her gentle influence and bud
ding genius first made itself felt in the
little village.
Funeral services over the remains Of
Miss Frances z. Willard. president OF
the Worlds W. c. T. L.. will be held in
New York Sunday. The body will then
be sent to Chicago.
Mrs Kate L. Stevenson, CORES
ponding secretary of the W. c. T o.,
said 1t was the present intention to
have committee of Miss Wizards
friends and co-workers in Chicago,
meet the body between here and New
York City and act as an escort during
the journey west. The body viii then
be taken to Miss Wizards home in
Evanston, where. on Thursday. the fu
neral will be held. probably from the
First Methodist church. which Miss
Willard attended for years. It is pos
sible that this part Of the programme
may be changed, as the church is COM
paratively small one, and would prob
ably be totally inadequate TO hold the
crowds who would wish TO attend the
funeral of the dead temperance leader.
For this reason the services will be
held from Chicago. The interment Will
take place at Rose Hill cemetery. where
Miss Wizards mother is buried
Miss l. NJ. y. Stevens, national vice
president W. c. T. L.. will. according

the Dead.

Havana, Feb, 1S.-At s o'clock this
evening 1875 bodies had been recovered.
Each is placed in coffin and carried
to the Colon cemetery, where Chap
lain Chadwick, of the Maine, conducts
funeral services.
Those who remain at San Mabrosio are
still in a serious condition, but better
than they were yesterday. DIR. Mas
does not despair of saving them all.
None has complained. on the contrary.
all have expressed themselves as sat
isfied with the assistance offered them
under the circumstances.
Havana still mourns with the Amer
lean people. Since the funeral cere-
monies os yesterday the city has re-
moved the outward signs of grief, but
the work of succoring the living and
caring for the dead proceeds unremit-
tingly.
Every care is shown the survivors.
Captain General BlancO and the Of
fciGls continue to cooperate with Cap
tain Sigsbee and Consul General Lee.
The messages received from Spain and
the United States, showing that the
acton of the Havana authorities is ap-
preciated, gives satisfaction to the Of
ficers. who are making further efforts
TO ameliorate the condition of the sur
vivors.
There is sincere regret that the cir
cumstances make it impossible to meet
the wishes of friends who desire that
the remains of their loved ones be sent
hcme for burial; but in cases where the
officers of the Maine deem it practic-
able. necessary facilities will be af-
forded.

No Torpedo Could Produce An Explo-
sion Like That of Maine.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-The opinion of
one of the leading experts in the use of
high explosives. Professor Alger, of the
ordnance bureau, as to the cause of the
explosion. is as follows:
''As to the question of the cause of
the Names explosion. we know that
no torpedo such as is known to modern
warfare. can of itself cause an expio-
sion of the character of that on board
the Maine. We know of no instances
where the explosion of a torpedo or
