ST. LOUIS DERBY
Rich Sweepstakes Won by Prince Me-
Clurg from Sir GaIian.

ST. LOUIS, June, A.-Twenty thousand
people saw Prince McClurg. the mighty
son of Wadsworth, win the st. Louis Derby,
the premier Western turf event, at the fair
grounds to-day. The attractive card offered
by the fair association brought race lovers
out in droves. Ladies in elegant toilets
graced the clubhouse verandas and lawn
and the grand stand. The inner field was
thrown open to the public and there a great
concourse of people gathered. The betting
ring was damned and the betting was
spirited. The track was not fast, last
nights rain leaving a heavy cushion. Owing
to their impressive performances on the
local track Streamer was made the favorite
and W.. Overton second choice in the Derby.
The local talent could see nothing but these
two horses in the race and great punches of
money went into the ring on them. Prince
McClurg, however. did not lack friends. The
Cincinnati contingent got down on him to a
man as did many others who had not for
gotten his great performances in the past.
The Prince was made third choice by the
pencilets at AZ to 1.
To a fair start Chancery took the lead fol-
lowed by Streamer and Leo Planter, the
others strung out. At the quarter w. Over
ton assumed command, Streamer and Be
True Close up, the OtnerS Duncned. AT the
judges stand w. Overton still led by half
a length, but Bill House had displaced
Streamer, who led Be True by a head. The
others were stretched out for a distance of
three lengths. At the three-quarters Sir
Galian and Prince McClurg made a play for
the flying leader. Frost shook up the
former sharply and he responded with a
great burst of speed, passing w. Overton as
IL he was anchored, and followed by the
Prince, led the way into the home stretch
by three lengths Streamer being half a
length behind the son of Wadsworth. At
the last sixteenth pole Southland brought
Prince McClurg up with a rush and getting
on even terms with the flying Sir Galian a
battle royal to the wire ensued, the Prince
winning in the last jump by a short head.
Chancery came very fast at the finish, get
ting third place, three lengths behind Sir
Galian. and beating Billy House therefor by
a nose. Prince McClurg's performance was
truly a wonderful one, In view of the fact
that he carried the top weight In the race.
Sir Galian's race stamps him as a great
race horse, as he had already won an event
previous TO the Derby. Two favorites. two
second choices and two third choices and an
extreme outsider took down the purses.

M'MILLAN NOT SURPRISED.
He Expected to Hear Pingree Had
Joined Fortunes with AIger.

MANCHESTER, Mass, June Ex-senator
Mcmillan, of Michigan, who is staying here,
said to-day that the new phase in the sena-
torial contest In his State was not a sur
prise. Said Senator McMillan: 1.-THE an
nouncement hat Governor Pingree has gone
over TO the Alger faction is no surprise to
me, for / have known it for a long time,
but / do not care to discuss it now. Refer
ence is made to Secretary Alger as making
trusts one of the issues OF the senatorial
contest. and as making stock of a letter
from me in which 1 upheld .judicious COM
binations among the industries / admit
that quite a while ago 1 did write such a
letter to one OF the senators and used such
an expression. but / did not mean 'combina-
tons as a trust in the general acceptance
OF the term. i believe a combination or
industries a good thing. which has already
been proved by the fact that wages have
gone up greatly since the combinations have
been formed. The prices OF material have
advanced and the general condition of the
country is much improved. Through these
the incorporators will reap large dividends
later on. When / speak of combinations"
he repeated. II don't apply IL in the nature
of a trust, but L don't care to enter upon
any controversy now. l have two years
yet to serve and later on 1 will see h
/ can do"
Senator Mcmillan said he was opposed TO
the election of senators by the direct vote
Of the people.

M'KINLEY TO G. A. R.
The President Makes a Brief Speech
to Former Comrades.

A Mass, June 24-The warm
weather here prompted President Mckinley
and several members of HIS party to remain
about the Plunke residence this forenoon.
At noon the President and Mr.. Plunkett
were driven up Greylock mountain to Bel
lows Wise, where the scenery is most pic
turesque. Abner Mckinley has been called
to New York and will leave tomorrow.
Tn President visited the memorial and
public library building late this evening and
was welcomed by Sayles Post, G. A. r. The
President occupied a seat by the side of
Commander Mole, on the platform in the
post room The commander of the local
post made a short address of welcome and
cheer after cheer was given to the distin-
guished guest. The President then shook
hands with the members of the post, and re-
paired to an adjoining room. where the
Woman's Relief Corps was assembled. He
was welcomed by President Simmons of the
corps. and a few minutes were consumed
In shaking hands with the ladies. He then
returned to the post room and made a short
address. He said:
Comrades. 1 am very glad to see you.
You are older and grayer than you used to
be, but your voices are as strong as they
were from 1861 to 1865, and you cheer very
much now as you did then. 1 congratulate
you on this beautiful room which you have
to hold your meetings in. There are very
few post rooms in the country more accessi-
BILE or more convenient. l am glad also
to recall the fact that ] assisted the COM
rades in laying the cornerstone of this
memorial building. l wish you all health,
happiness. prosperity and contentment in
your homes"
The President affixed his signature on the
post register and then returned to the home
of Mr.. lunkett.
The Presidents reception to the people of
Adams. which was to nave taken place this
evening. was postponed On account of a
very heavy thunderstorm. The reception
will probably occur Tuesday night.
The plans for the presidential party for
tomorrow are simply the attending services
at the Congregational Church and later
attending the Sunday school, when the
President will give a reception to its MEM
hare
