CHANGES IN TRoTTING RULES

Hobbies Abolished-Drivers to be Li-
 censed Officers Elected Dis
 Boards.
 The National Trotting association met at the Murray Hill Hotel, New York, Wednesday afternoon. The rep resentatives went over the entire turf code and after discussing various changes suggested by the rules com mittee generally agreed with the com mittee and approved the changes. Not only will the National Trotting associ- ation be governed by the revised code, but the American Trotting association was requested to concur in them, and as the changes made are considered popular, it is likely that the latter or ganization will adopt them.
 The rules committee which planned the changes was composed of Colonel William Edwards of Cleveland, John p. Turner of Philadelphia, c. D. Pal mer of Lowell, Mass; Edwards A. Tippler of Butte, Mont: Robert L. Allen of Joliet Ill.,; William R. Allen of Pittsfield, Mass, and w. Kelly of
 
 member of the committee, was not present at the meeting. Aside from the alterations made in the rules. the annual election of officers took place. The staff is as follows: President. P. P. Johnson. Lexington. Ky, reelected: first vice president, David Bonner, New York city; second vice-president, N T. Smith. San Fran cisco; treasurer, Lewis J. Powers i Springfield, Mass; secretary, w H. | Gocher, Hartford, Conn.

be seen the initials "F. s. G." with the date 1881.
 Some of the rooms are of good size, but others are small and dark. One of the drawing rooms has ceiling in re- lief emblematic of the seasons, and here are to be seen some quaint pieces of furniture and needlework done by some of the royal children. Some fine old oak panelling has unfortunately been painted white; and in the Pages Room will be found cupboard con- taining manuscript list of the bells and the rooms they rang from. On the doors inside the house are massive brass plates engraved with the royal arms and the Prince of Wales feathers and "F. P. w." (Frederick, Prince of Wales). Altogether the palace has a quaint and old world appearance that cannot fail to interest the intelligent visitor. Among the curious features are the vast vaults on which the palace is built, and these, from their construc- tion, are believed to have formed the foundation of a former building. There are, too, underground passages to sev- eral of the apartments. When the pal ace is thrown open, visitors to Kew | and its famous gardens will have an opportunity to peep into one of the his toric homes of our royal family.-Pall Mall Gazette.

GOOD ROADS.
State Commissioner Maodonald's Lecture
 in New Britain.

in New Britain.
 In New Britain, last evening State Highway Commissioner James H. Mac donald of this city delivered lecture on good roads under the auspices of the Y. M. c. A. The lecture, which was one of the most interesting and ln- structive delivered in the city for some time, was listened to by many of the most prominent citizens of the city. At the outset the lecturer traced the progress which has been made in high way construction from the roads of Carthage to those of the present time The commissioner advocated the con- struction of trunk line roads north and south, east and west, over the coun- try. his idea being that the national government should pay one-third, the state one-third and the county one third of the cost of construction and the counties should keep the lines in repair. He expressed the hope that the government would take this idea up and carry 1t into execution.
 He said that there were three ends which were aimed at in road con- SlTUCllOuj IISI lO IeQuCC thC SANNN' second to shorten the distance, third to secure proper surface. He said that here in Connecticut he had had hearty cooperation in his efforts to improve the highways. In many respects Con- necticut is especially favored in ma- terial for the construction of good roads The need of the farmers for good roads was also strongly empha- sized, Commissioner Macdonald saying that the children of the former should travel over as good roads to school as their city cousins. Up to October l one million dollars had been spent by the towns of the state on roads, with Twenty-Five towns to hear from.
 In answer to question as to whether he favored the construction of bicycle paths, MT. Macdonald said that he was 1aboring for good roads, which would be of as much use to bicyclists as bi- cycle paths.

LEAKS IN THE POSTAL REvENE.

HowSsome Suburban Postmasters In-
 crease Their Incomes to the Detri
 ment of the government.
 "There is one point" said an old in- spector of the postoff1ce department 'that the Sun has not yet brought opt in connection with the consolidation of the smaller postoffices around New York with the New York office. Never theless it is one that concerns every postoffice, large or small. It is that by consolidating the smaller postoffies with the larger ones the department expects to do away, to a great extent, at least, with the systematc robbery which it is now unable to prevent I mean by this the traffic in stamps by which the gross receipts of the smaller offices are swollen to undue proportions and the postmasters salary corre- spondingly increased, while the larger offices do the work.
 ''This practice is carried on around all large cities, but especially in and about New York, and it results in great injustice to the postmaster and the postoffice of New York. As is well known, in the smaller fouth-class off, fees the postmasters are paid in pro- portion to the stamps cancelled In the larger fourth-class offices and the pres- idential offices the salary is dependent on the receipts. Take small office in the neighborhood of New York The postmaster depends on his cancellations for his revenue. In the same town lives the secretary of a large insurance corporation, who happens to be per- sOnal friend of the postmaster The latter goes to the secretary and ex- plains that his salary is dependent on the cancellation of stamps, and says that it would be very easy for the sec retary to bring down at night, on his way home from his office, all or a large part of the letters of the company which are to go in the night mail In- stead of depositing them in the office at New York, or in one of the stations, sub-stations of letter boxes, where they will do no good, why not mail them in the smaller office and thereby help a friend? The government loses nothing and the friend gains. So, as an act of friendship the secretary often consents and the postmaster of the suburban town is enabled to report a large amount of cancellations and is paid &C., cordingly.
 When the pay depends on the gross receipts, another course is pursued Instead of bringing the letters out from town, the obliging friend is requested to purchase his stamps at the office and mail his letters in New York Tn this way the receipts are swollen and the salary of the postmaster expanded in proportion.
 'In other cases the suburban post master is cmmuter, and has an Of flee in the city. Here he makes friends with those in charge of large corpora tions and requests them to purchase

Spreckles and c. M. Chase, San Fran cisco.
 Both of the questions which have been much talked about among trot- ting men-namely, the abolition Of | hopples and the proposed licensing or drivers-came up when the rules bear ing upon the subjects were reached. If any great difference of opinion re- | garding them existed within the asso- citation, it was found out in the rules committee, because In the congress | there was only mild discussion Of | these subjects.
 The sentence which is, to bar the use of hobbies hereafter reads: | Horses wearing hobbies shall not he eligible to start in races on the grounds of members after January 1, 1S99" | The rules provides a year of grace 1 for those accustomed to apply the hob bles to horses. after which the assocla- tion law upon this point is to be strlcr- ly enforced.
 | The new rule in regard to licensing | drivers reads:
 "Section 1. No rider or driver shall be allowed to compete on the grounds of a member until he shall have ob- | tained @ license from the secretary of l the National Trotting association. Such license must be applied for an- nually. Each application must give the full name and address of the appii- cant, witnessed by an officer of the es- sociation, or the postmaster at the place where he resides, and be accom- panied by two photographs of app]i- cant"
 Charles Dana Palmer of Lowell in troduced the following resolution, which was adopted by the congress:
 Whereas, It is generally believed that betting on heats is detrimental to the best interests of the turf; there fore, be 1t resolved that we disapprove the practice, and will not give it recog- nition."
 There were present in the congress about fifty representatives of about five hundred associations, each man voting by proxy for number of asso- citations.
 New York was selected as the place for the assembling of the next con- gress.

BURSTING WITH INFORMATION.
 The experiences of the amateur scribe are often amusing. One of them, who woud be a reporter-even at the cost of a broken limb-rushed into one of the telegraph offices, a few days since and, seizing a blank in feverish excitement, wrote the following de- spatch to one of the New York papers:
 Big wreck. How many works will I send?"
 The ansew came back:
 What is it. railroad wreck, a steamboat wreck or total wreck from drunkenness?"
 Readers of that journal never learned which.-Stamford Advocate.

THE JAPANESE IN HAWAII
THEY NIGHT SECURE POLITICAL
CONTROL.
DR.. Capron Explains to Seattle Peo-
pie Why a Protectorate Would Not
be Satisfactory Here.

DR. Victor j. Capron of Naalehu,
kau. Hawaii, was at the Butler Ho-
tel yesterday, having arrived on the
steamer Miowera via Victoria, from
Honolulu, says the Seattle Post Intel
ligencer.
DR. Capron has for several years
been in close touch with things politi-
cal in the Islands and is thoroughly
acquainted with the prevailing condi-
tons there. He is strongly i'm favor
of annexation, as are all the other
whites i'm Hawaii. and fears that if
the treaty is defeated, it will be but
a few years until a Japanese president
is elected.
The all important factor in Ha-
waiian politics just now is the annex
alton treaty that the friends of the
Islands are trying TO have the United
States Congress pass" said the doe
tor in an interview. "Through the
hard knocks that are being given the
treaty by Claus Spreckels and the
friends of the deposcd queen the re-
suit of the issue is considered very
doubtful in Hawaii. The final action
if contrary is looked for with fear and
trembling. If the United States re-
fuses to take Hawaii under its wing.
ii viii he but few years before II
Japanese president is elected Even
now the $4,000 japanese in Hawaii
are firmly organized to demand the
right to vote at the regular elections.
The only clause in the constitution
that deprivcs them of the franchise is
that voters must be able to read or
write the Hawaiian or sumo European
language. They claim that they have
as much right to be recognized as any
European country. | have no doubt
that they would be able to establish
this claim and secure franchise if
the Islands are not annexed.
with the japanese in possession
of the franchise rights it would not
be long until they dictated the poll
cy of the government, and if they de-
sired elected one of their own coun-
tryment president. Nearly all of the
$4,000 Japanese are of voting age.
The natives number but 10000. men,
women and children. \ great many
of the men are Indifferent as to po-
litical matters, and would not vote be-
cause of the trouble to qualify. There
are hardly more than 5000 whites on
the Islands, so the Japanese would
have everything their own way. Sc
cret societies are in force on all the
big plantations. carefully organized
by men sent out from Japan. They
have their presidents and secretaries,
and are in close touch with one an
other. At present they are keeping
very quiet until the matter of anneXa-
ton is settled one way or the other.
"lf the annexation treaty be de-
feated, the Islanders fear repetition
of the revolutions. This same fear is
one of the reasons the whites are so
strongly opposed to protectorate. If
the United States declared a protecto-
rate other nations would be COMPEL
ed to keep their hands off. but the
protectorate would not prevent inter
nal trouble. If clever japanese was
elected president protectorate would
not keep him from making n treaty
with Japan which would result in
flooding the country with japanese"
