Blue Ribbon Meeting Still Ahead.

Swift as the flights of the trotters and
PAGERS have already been since the sea-
son for the sulky began, greater feates
are in store for the great Blue Ribbon
meeting in Detroit that occupies six
days from July Is to 90. Out west
at Denver the lightning PAGERS, Chehal
Is and Anaconda have been reeling off
miles in 2:054 and 2:07. Both of these
California wonders are to be at the big
speed carnival of the Michigan metrop-
oils, and Searchlight said to be faster
than either of them is also likely can
didate for one of the big purses at the
Crosse Pointe track.
While the full list of the candidates
for the two richest stakes, the Mer-
chants and the Manufacturers and the
Chamber Of Commerce is not yet com
pleted, enough material has been as
sured to warrant the prediction that
the time in these events will exceed
anything in former years. The an. 81
Nj" is set down for Tuesday and the
companion contest for the PAGERS is the
feature OF Wednesday. special rail.
way rates have been granted so that
tickets can be purchased on Monday
good up to July 20, enabling persons
from distance to see three days of
brilliant sport and get the benefit of the
one-fare excursion.
In order to supply nothing but the
best racing, the proposed match be-
tween Joe Patchen and John r.. Gen
try has been cancelled. The long spell
of wet weather in the East prevented
Gentry getting the fast work necessary
to meet such foe as the Chicago whirl-
wind. Instead of this free for all
contest for the crack trotters has been
substituted. This event will be to road
wagon, and the wealthy owners to such
cracks as Grace Tasting, Cephas, Ken
tuckey Union, Lilly Young and Emma
Otfutt have been invited to bring their
flyers TO Detroit for the first day of the,
Blue Ribbon meeting. To encourage
these amateur reinsmen a valuable sill
yer cup will be given to the winner in
addition to the stake only.

Organizing tn. ssth Michigan Regimen,

The first company to arrive at Camy

from Dundee, rs men, Capt. j. b
Haynes, Lieuts. Scott Zeluff and Chas
5. Jordan. Within two days 500 more
recruits had arrived and drilling wa.
begun, and the camp soon took on 9
military aspect. The other companie.
arrived rapidly, but nearly all were
short of the MAJ mum quota of volun
teers and as large percentage of those
examined were rejected, there will
have to be considerable recruiting be.
fore the 35th is ready to be mustered
into Uncle Sans service.
AS soon as the nucleus of the 12 com.
panies had reached the camp and had
settled down in their quarters the or.
ganization of the regiment was com.
pleted and the companies received their
letter designations. In accordance
with Col. Irish's plan to avoid jealousy
and dispute the company captains drew
for the letters, with the following
result:
A-Capt. Sands-Pentwater and Gee.
ana, Mason and MuslSegon counties.
B-Capt. Neutrality-suspicious. of Vet.
Grams.
Capt. McCabe-Petoskey Gaylord,
Charlevoix and Harbor Springs.
D-Capt. Haynes-Dundee.
Capt Prince -Alpena, Presque
Isle and Montmorency.

H-Capt. Thorburn-Gratiot, Mid.

The drilling is more constant than
in the preceding regiments, and the
embryo soldiers are showing the cf.
fects of 1t. These men who never
shouldered musket before are doing
well. One of the noticeable character.
istics of these recruits is that they are
eager to learn. No matter how warm
the day they never shirk the hard drill,
and trouble is being experienced in
keeping men back who are not accus.
toned to work under a scorching sun.
Col. Irish has become extremely pop
ular with the men.
Gov. Pingree doesn't want any man
to enlist unless his family are perfectly
willing. The governor wants this
made known all over the state. 1t ap.
plies to married men as we'll as youths
of immature age. He says that if the
objections are entered before the men
are enlisted it will save lots of trouble
to the state.

Would Prefer Gold" Instead OF "Coin.-

1t is impossible, even in the face Of
grim war, to keep down the ghost of
gold monometallism. Secretary Gage
has recently stated to the cabinet that
he was assured in his interview with
New York bankers whom he lately Wis
tied, that the government could have
foated its war loan at a much lower
rate of interest if the word gold" in
stead Of coin" were placed on the
bonds.
However, the secretary recommend
ed the higher rate of interest and to
adhere to the wording prescribed by
congress on the ground that it was not
best to arouse the hostility of a con-
trolling silver sentiment in the senate"
You can trust banker every time
to insist on gold bonds and gold con-
tracts Of every kind unless compelled
to adopt a different policy. But the
stubborn fact which our banker-secre-
tary is forced to recognize is that the
United States senate is not yet willing
to renounce bimetalism.
To take one more step in fastening
gold monometallism on the country
would just now partly counteract the
tendency to better prices for all prod
ucts of labor. To have money plenty
and widely circulated among the peo-
pie and the farmer able to sell the pro-
duce of his farm at profit. seems to
act like red rag to a bull to the
money syndicates and their subservient
patrons.

WE ARE GROWING.
Hawaiian Annexation Resolution Adopted
by the Senate.

Dy Senate.
The annexation of Hawaii is now ac.
complished so far as the legislative
branch of the government is concerned.
Quite unexpectedly the resolutions pro.
viding for the annexation of the is.
lands were brought to a vote in the
Senate, the opposition cutting their
debate short, and they were passed by
the decisive vote of ~ to 81.
The joint resolution which passed
the Senate providing for the annexa.
tion of Hawaii was originally intro.
duced in the House by Mr. Newlands,
of Nevada, and passed that body June
Is. Two days later it was reported
favorably to the Senate.
The test vote came upon an amend.
ment offered by Mr.. White Cali. 1t
was offered with no expectation that
1t would be adopted, but merely to
place the ideas and opinions of the op-
ponents of annexation on record. 1t
was rejected by vote of 40 to 20, indi-
eating that the annexationists were
strongly in the majority. Amendment
after amendment was offered, but the
advocates of the resolutions stood to-
gether, gaining rather than losing
strength on the successive votes.
Finally the resolutions themselves, in
precisely the form in which they were
received from the House, were re-
ported and the roll call began. In
tense interest was manifested by the
Senators and spectators, and when the
result was announced there was tre-
wave of applause which the
made no effort to check.

DEMOCRATS WILL

PREPARATIONS MADE TO VEL

Reception to Be Given at Metropoli- tan Temple on the Evening of
 His Return.

The final preparations for the reception of Congressman James G. Mcguire upon his return to the city the last part of this or the commencement of next month were arranged last evening by the Democratic Central Club, and the programme for rendition at Metropolitan Temple thai will succeed the informal reception at the ferry outlined. It was definitely de- cided to invite the various Democratic or ganiZations of the city to participate in the affair by sending their representa- tives as deputies to the regular commit tee appointed to receive the Congress- man upon his arrival in this city.
 A parade consisting of the members of the regular Democratic and various other clubs will be formed in front of the Pythian Castle on Market street, and will act as an escort rom the Terry to Met ropolitan Temple.
 A resolution upon the necessity of ar. ranging the date for the Democratic State convention In the near future was in- troduced and unanimously adopted It reads as follows:
 Whereas. The success Of the Democratic party in this city and State depends largely upon full and fair discussion of the issues of the day: and whereas, the date for the meet vet been fixed. and feeling the importance of an early campaign in order to furnish time for a full discussion. the time for the meeting of said State convention should be set at as early a date as possible; therefore be it

JUDGES DIFFER ON
 THE BANKRUPTCY LAW
HAVE THE STATE COURTS
 JURISDICTION ?
Consensus of Opinion That the Fed. eral Act Has Succeeded and Is Now Operative in
 It's Stead.

''This act shall go into full force and effect upon its passage; provided, how ever. that no petition for voluntary bank ruptcy shall be filed within one month of the passage therof. and no petition for involuntary bankruptcy shall be filed within four months of the passage thereof
 Proceedings commenced under State insolvency laws before the passage of this act shall not be affected by it."
 These two concluding clauses of the new national bankruptcy law have occasioned many differences of opinion between Cali fornia jurists. and in consequence local attorneys are much interested Judge Hall of Alameda County has decided that as no petition can be filed in the United States courts until one month after the passage of the act, which took place on July l, the State courts have Jurisdiction until that time. Judge Hall bases his opinion, 1t is said, on the decision of the case or Martin vS. Berry, where 1t was held that the national bankruptcy act of !86I did not deprive the State courts of Jurisdiction until the date upon which petitions could be filed in the United States courts. Judge Belcher of this city, however, has held, in an ex-parte pre- sentiment, that the Federal law went into full effect on July ], and succeeded and is now operative instead of the State law. It is stated that Judge Jones of Contra Costa County has decided the question in accordance with Judge Belcher's opin-
 The wording of the last clause in the new act, Proceedings commenced under State insolvency laws before the passage of this act shall not be affected by it' certainly leaves the inference that pro- ceedings commenced after the act will be affected by it. and owing to this conclu- sion the consensus of opinion leans in favor of the decision rendered by Judge Belcher.

The question of a boat oe this kind for taxing the Endeavorers out Co different ships in the bay as occa- sion required was discussed at many meetings. but the possibility Of building one was never in sight until after the con- vention of 1897.

BY JOE cORBETT.

Last Sunday, before the biggest audi ence that had ever attended the games at Recreation Park, the Sand Crabs unmerci- fully defeated the San Franciscos.
 The game was not what might be termed a good one, for the reason that 1t was too one-sided; yet 1t brought to view two very important points, namely: that the Sand Crabs have improved wonderfully since their last appearance here, and that the San Franciscos instead of doing like wise, displayed the same old miserable form.
 In the case of the latter l was not surprised, despite the fact that they had only recently participated in a thirteen inning game.
 The form they displayed in that mem orable contest I attributed to Providence. for I was ever of opinion that without practice team cannot play steady ball.
