BLACK VENUS TAKES
THE GREAT EASTERN
St. Lorenzo Falls During the Race
and Jockey Barrett Is Badly
Injured.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10-Perfect weather
a fast track and a good card attracted
large crowd to the closing day of the
Sheepshead Bay meeting to-day. Two
stakes were down for decision, the Great
Eastern and the Autumn Cup. Four
teen of the best two-year-olds in train
Ing faced the starter in the Great East
ern, with Black Venus a hot favorite, and
Martimas, the Futurity winner, second
choice Black Venus, rushing to the
front, made all the running and won we'll
in hand by a length and half from
Ethelbert and Martimas, who finished
heads apart in that order.
During the race St. Lorenzo, with Bar
rett up, fell reavily in the middle of the
bunch at the head of the stretch, and it
is feared that Barrett was badly injured.
The Autumn Cup furnished sensational
finish between The Friar and George
Boyd. the latter, with Sloan up, winning
in drive by a neck. The Morris pair,
The Friar and Mirthful, were favorites at
odds on. The Friar made the running all
the way, but George Boyd, with pull in
the weights, got up in the stretch and
won in drive.

morrow show the strength that it
claims today, and cast all it's votes for

} II would then have a majority in both
houses for senator, as it did on organ
lzatlon. one week ago today. The OPP
position still claims the house by at
least 80 to 81, which would make the
general assembly stand "A to II on Joint
ballot against Hanna. But even after.
the members are all recorded in their
respective houses on the roll calls of
Tuesday, there is nothing to prevent
any of them changing their votes on
w ednesday when the minutes of the
proceedings of the previous day are
read in the joint meeting And if the
record of quick and repeated flopS dur
ing the past week is kept up, there
will be no certainty about the final re-
suit until a decisive joint ballot is TAX
en-, and the official announcement is
declared.
In the house. a resolution was Of
fered to amend the state constitution
that United States senators shall be
elected by the direct vote of the people.
The house adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
In the senate, the Bramley 5O-year

sion of the rules. but it was referred to

order for l o'clock tomorrow, Just be-
fore the balloting for senator begging
In the senate there was an effort to
limit admission to the lobbies and gal
ler1es by tickets during the senatorial
balloting, but it was lost. The senate
took a recess until D. m, when Lieu
tenant Governor Jones and other state
officers viii be sworn in.
A message was received from Gov
ernor Bushnell officially advising the
senate of the resignation of John Sher-
man as senator for the term ending
March 8, 1S99 and of the appointment
of Marcus a. Hanna to fill the va
cancy.
Although the unexpired senatorial
term of Sherman ended March 4. 1899.
Senator Hanna was appointed last
March to serve only until the legisla-
ture met in January, 1898, as the gov
ernor's appointee under the law can
only serve until the Legislature meets.
1t is therefore apparent that that of
fee has had only one senator for the
past week and will have only one until
there is an election for the short term
from January, 1898, until March, 1892

HUMOROUS SIDE OF THE LAW
TRIBULATIONS OF THE OWNERS
OF SEALSKINS.
Provoking Annoyances inflicted on
Kanucks and Yankees Living Oh
Both Sides of the Niagara.

Niagara Falls, n. Y, Jan. 1O.-The
at both bridges have been notified to
seize anything that looked like seal
skins. Nearly all on the Canadian side
were notified to leave their sacques,
gloves and caps there if they did not
want them confiscated.
The sisuatiOn at Niagara Falls is
probably different from that at any
other point on the frontier Both sides
of the river are thickly settled, and
the Canandian and American popula-
ton go back and forth daily On the
Canadian side, back of the high bluff,
a number of wealthy American families
have country seats, and a great many
of the women in these families, as well
as Canadian women, who wear Sealskin
coats, pass over the river to the
American side daily while out driving
and making calls.
Several sealskin hats of Canadians
were seized belonging to gentlemen en-
gagged on business to Buffalo and New
York, and many man went on to his
destination tonight wearing a little
travelling cap, after having left his
name and something by which he could
identify his confiscated headgear.
The. law also affects the Canadian
railroads running from Chicago east
ward. These include the Michigan Cen
trail, the Grand Trunk, the Canadian
Pacific, the Wabash and the Lehigh
Valley.
The sealsl1in garments taken from
their wearers are turned over to the
appraisers at custom houses, where
the owner, after fling an application,
must wait until notice has been sent
to the secretary of the treasury for a
decision in the matter.

NEWS OF THE WEST.
Montana.


On Saturday State Treasurer T. E.
Collins announced the most important
warrant call ever made in the history
of the state. He gave notice that, as
fast as presented, all general fund war
rants registered up to Dec. 1 last,
would be paid, the call including war
rants aggregating $225,000 When they
are paid, the state will be nearer out
of debt than it has been for years.
John A. Mclean, through his attor-
ney, John N. Kirk, on Saturday COM
menced suit in the United States circuit
court for $4,000 damages for injuries
sustained through the running away of
freight train, of which he was the
conductor. on the steep grade east of
Mullan tunnel, on Nov. 80 1896. The
accident which caused the suit resulted
in the death of two of the train crew,
and was one of the most serious that
the Northern Pacific has had in recent
years.
The life was blown out of Benjamin
Sonar in the bottom of the Pennsylva-
mia shaft, one of the Boston & Montana
properties, about 10 o'clock Saturday
night, and it was only what appears to
have been a miraculous intervention of
providence that prevented his three
companions from meeting the same
fate, says the Butte Miner. 1t seems
to have been the old and sad story over
again of experienced miners forgetting
their danger in a moment of careless
ness and remaining behind too long af-
ter splitting a round of holes, and, as is
the general rule in such cases, a huma
life paid the penalty.
Among the topics now discussed in
Missoula are the creamery plant, pro-
posed smelter. the coal fields. the new
university, and Hammond's railroad.
Captain Hall was buried in Butte on
Sunday. The remains arrived from the
west on Saturday evening, accompanied
by Mrs. Hall and her daughters, Rose
and Pearl, and her sons, Samuel and
William, and D. NJ. Newbro, who went
to Spokane to meet them. A commit
tee of Masons went to Garrison to meet
them and escort the remains to Butte.
The remains laid in state at Masonic
temple until 2 o'clock, when the Ma
sonic funeral services were performed.
The city officials and all eX-city Off
Gals of Vaudeville attended the flu
neral IN a body, in honor of Captain
Hall having been the first mayor of

MONEY STRINGENCY IN INDIA
Council Considering Plans to In
crease Supply of Silver.

London, Jan. 1O.-Today the govern
ment invited tenders for India bills to
the amount of e10O0,OOO for the dis
charge of bills payable on the 22nd.
The stringency in money in India is so
great that it is believed gold ship
ments will be necessary. Special al
lotments of Geographic transfers on
Bombay were made today at 161sd. per
rupee. So great is the urgency for
money in India that the India council
is considering plans to increase the
supply of currency. In order to IA
cilitate the coinage of silver against
gold notes at the rate of led. per rupee,
it is said the council will receive on
behalf of the India bankers or mer-
chants in London, gold for deposit in
the Bank of England, against which
orders or transfers will enable silver
coin to be drawn from the Indian cur
rency departments. A small charge
beyond the rate of 16d. Will be paid to
cover the cost of the transaction. 1t is
hoped that this scheme, even if not
greatly awaited Of will relieve the
tightness and avoid gold shipments to

NOT ENOUGH POWDER.
Common Stuff Is Not Effective for
High-PoWer Guns.

Chicago. Jan. 1O.-A special from
Washington says:
Uncle Sam is short of powder for his
high-power guns. After his warships
have all fired away the powder
they have on board, which they would
do il the course of a ten hours battle,
there would be left in the entire coun-
try barely enough to supply them for
80 minutes combat And it would
take the powder mills of the United
States, with their present facilities,
nearly year to produce enough powder
to supply the ships for another ten
hours battle.
Such is the substance of a report
made to. Secretary Long by the board
of ordnance and Qualifications, which
has recommended the immediate build
ing of a government powder factory
by which the cost of supplying this
powder could be greatly reduced.
Ordinary powder, it must be under
stood, will not do for high-poWered
guns. There is plenty of this and
plenty of fine blasting powder in the
country, but very little rif1ed cannon
powder. This last is made by only
two factories in the United States, one
in Delaware, and one in California,
both of them of very limited capacity.
Hence the Importance of having in
stock enough to meet all possible de-
mands until more could be manufac-
tured

E. K. Whitehead, secretary of the
Colorado Humane society, publishes a
vigorous protest in the Denver ReDub-
| lican against the treatment of cattle
on the ranges, and urges it's discussion
at the coming StOck-grOWerS' cOnVen-
ton. He says: The number of range
cattle in this state is variOusly esti-
mated at from 100000 to 800, 900. With
most of them, the process of slow star
walton begins a little later than this
time, and lasts, unless the animals die,
until grass grows on the range again
a period of two or three months. It is
a time of more or less continuous cold,
when more feed is needed to sustain life
than in warmer weather. The water
supply is often frozen up, and many
times there rs not even snow with
which cattle may Stake their thirst
During all these weary days and win
ter nights the miserable beasts hardly
know what it is to have a full belly.
Hunger gnaws at their vitals day and
night Disease and the wolves are their
friends, Tor such as fall prey to them
are out of their misery. When billiards.
come the emaciated creatures drift like
leaves and pile up dead bodies in wind
rows against the barbed-wire fences.
Even their vital organs shrivel up with
famine, SO that when grass comes,
many of the survivors of this merciless
treatment die because they cannot di-
gest and assimilate it.

ALGER's ILLNESS.
Arose From An Attack of La Grippe
Patient Recovering.

Patient Recovering.
Washington, Jan. 1O.-Alarming re-
ports sent throughout the west rela-
tive to the condition of Secretary Alger,
have caused the issue of a formal state
ment from Assistant Secretary Meikle-
john, after consultation with Captain
Woods, the army surgeon, who has
been attending the secretary during
his illness, which has now lasted about
month. 1t is said that he was at
tackled originally by the Ia grippe, and
this left in its wake a low type of fever,
not typhoid, as has been reported,
which weakened the patient consider
ably. The persistency of Secretary Al
ger in keeping at his work, even while
confined to his room, undoubtedly re-
tarded his recovery very much, but he
was finally induced to give over the
attempt to look after the department
business until he is able to get about
again. 1t is said that this morning
the fever has completely disappeared,
and the secretary is stronger. He still
remains in bed, by direction of Dr.
Woods, though the latter says that
by the end of this week or early next
week, Secretary Alger will be able to
leave Washington for some point, not
yet selected, probably on the seashore,
