CAMERON SENT THE WORD
FRIENDS AT CHICAGO TOOK
 OWNERS TIP.
by Betting on the Mare in Her Next Race, Winning
 $1o,ooo in Chicago ..,
 Poolrooms.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 CHICAGO. Dec. 5.-It now develops that May W was heavily played in Chicago on information received from owner Don Cameron on November zS, when she was so badly beaten at Oak land with Jockey Gouin in the saddle. D. w. Smith, a Chicago man, who was known at the local race tracks as friend of Cameron, and who always bets, heavily on May W, lost $500. Friends of his lost as much more. On November 26 Smith received a letter from Cameron saying the mare was good, and would win the first time out The owner even went further, saying May W was never better, and she nao been scratched once because the condi- tions did not suit her, but would Win her first start. The letter also stated there was race on November zo that suited the mare, and that she would probably start that day, but not 10 bet until telegram came.
 Smith showed the letter to some or his friends, enjotning them to Keep the matter quiet, as he intended put ting down a good bet and wanted a nrice On November 2S Smith received a cipher telegram. It read: come 10 California;" but according to the cooe meant Get down on the mare. Ihls telegram was also showed to a select few. and to a man they played May w heavily.
 When the report of the race came over the tickers and May W was not first, second or third Smith was as- founded. It is known he is close to Cameron, either as partner or friend and the men who played May w on the strength of the letter and telegram are certain that Cameron expected to win the race. Some sharp cor respondence by wire passed De- tween Smith and Cameron, but the former was assured, it is said, that IL was all right, and another deal IS al- leged to have been fixed up. May w ran again on Saturday, with long price in the local books. Smith and his friends had evidently been reassured, for they were on hand with bundles or money. which was so cautiously placed that no suspicion was aroused among the bookmakers, although the steady play had the effect of beating down her odds trifie. It is estimated $1O,O0O was gathered in here by the operation. From hints let drop the same game was played in Cincinnati and New Or leans.

GUN PLANT FOR
 NEWPORT NEWS Englishmen Negotiate With Huntin gton. INTEREST IN YARD SOUGHT DEAL THAT WILL MEAN A GREAT ENTERPRISE. The Railroad Magnate Says the New Establishment Will Be a
 Benefit to This
 Country.
DEAL THAT WILL MEAN A
 GREAT ENTERPRISE.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-CoIlis P Huntington confirmed to-day's report that the English firm of Vickers Sons & Maxim is negotiating for an interest in the Newport News shipbuilding establishment. in which he is heavy owner. He said the deal had not been closed. and denied there was any in- tention of selling the yard outright to English interests, and intimated he would continue to control the business.
 II have been in negotiation, said Huntington, with Vickers' Sons & Maxim, who have thought of taking large interests in the plant and of establishing at Newport News, in con- nection with the ship yard, very ex- tenSive plant for the manufacture of guns. If these negotiations should be carried to a conclusion there would be established at Newport News a new industry which would greatly benefit the city, furnishing work and support to thousands of people in addition to those there now. But the yard would continue to be an American enterprise, as I do not propose to sell the holdings outright, but to rent a large interest. 1 would like, however, to lessen my cares and responsibilities and let others take up and carry on the work I have started.
 The proposed gun plant would not be separate organization. It would be conducted as a part of the general business. I have wanted those people to take large interest because I was anxious to see great gun manufac- turing establishment put up at New port News, and my impression is my English friends will find it greatly to their interest to complete negotia- tions. I think, too it will be a good thing for the Government. The Vickers' Sons & Maxim are known over the whole world for their skill and success in making great ships and all sizes of guns.

American people that message an- nouncing the victorious ending of the great war, the acquisition of territory and the initiation of an 1mperiallst policy is sober in tone and moderate in recommendations. The war has finally healed the half-closed wounds left by the Titanic contests of secession and we hope it has exercised a healing influence to be felt even more widely and deeply in another direction. Not since England recognized the United States Governments power has an American President alluded to the mother country in language so cordial and friendly as MT. McKinley's.
 Discussing the message approving the detail and referring to British rights in Nicaragua under the Clayton -BulWer treaty, the Times says: If the free dom of the waterways is secured to the ships of all nations we shall not need to stand strictly upon claims which origi- mated when the circumstances were al- together different"
 The Daily Chronicle also pays trib- ute to the sober soun1 common sense and straightforward language of the message, pointing out that President McKinley's reference to the military oc- cupation of Cuba virtually outlines a policy precisely the same as that of Great Britain in Egypt and likely to have the same effect.
 Commenting on the Presidents sur prising language concerning the Nicaragua canal, which utterly ignores British treaty rights, the Daily Chronicle says that this matter will arise ere long in a more acute form. ," The editorial highly approves MT. Me Kinley's references to China and Great Britain.
 The Standard says: Few could o41il +t,at +y,r nr-ly so rapid and drastic a change. How absolute the metamorphosis is may best be gathered from a comparison with previous messages. It is not rash to predict that the United States will advance in the path upon which their feet are now firmly set"
 The Standard construes MT. McKin- ley's references to China as declara ton that, had the open door been have interfered actively. It adds, upon this point, For all purposes of British policy no intimation could be more welcome than that the United States will appoint a committee to study the conditions in China
 The Daily Telegraph, which regards the announcement that the United States will support the open door in China as the Weiehtiest which the message contains, says: With such common interests to unite us, formal alliances are unnecessary"
 The Daily Mail says: We are dis appointed and surprised at this att tempt to set aside the Clayton -Bulwer treaty, especially in view of the Anglo American entente"
 The Morning Post on the other hand, says: Circumstances have changed and the American attitude toward the treaty is quite intelligible, but the inn mediate task awaiting Mir. Chamber lain is the assimilation into his ad- mirable sentimental view of the Anglo American relations of the thorny problem associated with the Clayton Bulwer treaty"

 Bankrupt and Deeply

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Dec. 1.-The Republican County Central Committee, through which Boss Req and Johnnie Mac kenzie made the fight for their candl- dates, is bankrupt. Not only is the ex- chequer depleted, but there is between 5000 and $1200 worth of bills still un- paid. About fifty creditors are pursu- ing John D. Mackenzie, secretary Of the committee. The Game Warden has gra- ciously told these people time and again that they would be paid tomorrow or the next day." but this promise mas been made to get the County Committee together, but unsuces fully. Over $S0O0 came into the hands of the committee through assessing candidates. Half of this sum has not been expended, ana successful and defeated candidates are wondering where it all went.
 The committee started out at the be- ginning of the campaign with some lofty ideas as to finances. It decided to assess it's candidate for Sheriff $500 and all other nominees for county offices $400. There was general protest among the candidates and they re- belled They finally contributed the following amounts set opposite their names, at least their sworn statements so show:

COMMENT OF THE

LONDON, Dec. 6.-Much having been expected there is a certain tone of dis appointment in the morning paper edi- torials on President McKinley's mes sage. Its non- commit character is attributed to the fact that the negotia- tions of the Peace Commissioners at Paris are not finished. Considerable satisfaction Is expressed at the refer ences to Anglo-American relations and at the coldness displayed toward Rus sia.

Aside from these amounts more money was put into the hands of the committee. w. T. Noting and w. J. Kirkpatrick, candidate for Township Justices, fail to mention in their sworn statements any assessment paid to the committed but persons on the inside positively assert the Justices turned over S250 each. B. A. Harrington, for District Attorney, gave an additional s10O that he fails to mention. This makes $500, which, added to the $2400 heretofore mentioned, makes $3000
 The question confronting the candi- dates and the creditors is how all this money was expended under the direc- tion of Secretary John D. Mackenzie. There are about twenty livery stable Keepers who have bills against the com nittee ranging from s20 to $25. They exhibit orders signed by Mackenzie. and it looks as though this is all they will get for the use of their teams. Band masters are clamoring for their money, while newspaper publishers and mer- chants are pleading for pay. Even the heelers and clerks hired about the head quarters have not received their prom ised stipends.
 All the money was turned over to Mackenzie as secretary, and was to have been expended under his direction.
