ROAsTs FOR SLOAN.
American Jockey Roughly Handled
by the London Papers,

LONDON, June 19.-The afternoon
newspapers today are insisting that Tod
Sloan. the American jockey, in spite of
his denials, is the man who assaulted q
waiter at Ascot, on Thursday. The Even
ing News Is indignant at the fact that
the jockey club has apparently decided
to let the matter drop, and Is stirring
up public feeling against him. The pa
per says:
The English Jockeys by their behavior
and general bearing have succeeded dur
ing the last twenty years in totally al
ter1ng their social status, and it Is hard
lines on them that a foreigner should
come to England and bring disgrace on
the profession without any official notice
being taken Of 1t. The next time Sloan
appears on race course he will learn
what the public think of him. The fact
that he denies what fifty people witness
ed, may display American bravado, but
in no other way will 1t better his posi-
ton
The Star publishes several abusive let
tiers calling Sloan IAN American stable
boy" and a "Liliputian Yankee" The
same paper asserts that after careful in
vestigation, 'it was shown that 1t was
Sloan and no one else who struck the
waiter with champagne bottle. COM
pletely opening his lip, SO that large
portion of 1t hung over his mouth"
The waiter is still under the care Of q
doctor.

Dunk followed him up, but right on the

FEDERAL STEEL PROFITS.
Company EnJOined From Paying
Dividend ON Common Stock.

Dividend on Common Stock.
PHILADELPHIA, June 1s.-In chan
Gerry chambers at Camden, N. J., attor-
neys for Walter r. Kern. OF this city,
hled a bill with Vice Chancellor Reed,
asking the court to restrain the Federal
steel company from paying any dividend
on the common stock at present, and
especially to restrain the company from
paying the quarterly dividend Of " per
cent on the common stock that the d.
rectors declared on June 16, payable July
70 Kern holds $4,000 of preferred stock,
The vice chancellor granted a temper
airy injunction against the payment Of
any dividends on the common stock, I'M
til the further order Of the court, and
ordered the Federal Steel company to
show cause in the court of chancery at
camden, on July 8, why a permanent
Injunction should not be issued restrain
ing absolutely the payment of any and
all dividends on the common stock I'M
til after the close of the present fiscal
year.
In the bill Mr.. Kern states that the
charter of the company provides that
the holders Of the preferred stock shall
be entitled to receive non-comulative div
idends at the rate of, but not exceeding
s per cent per annum, for the fiscal year,
beginning Jan. l. 1892 and that this div
fdend must be paid in preference to any
dividend on the common stock during
this year. He asserts further that the
charter provides that the common stock
shall be subject to the prior rights of
the holders Of the preferred stock, and
that the dividend on common stock can
not be paid until after the close of the
fiscal year, ending Dec. 81, 1899. and then
out of the surplus profits that then ap-
pear to have been made by the corpora
ton. The bill alleges that the existence
of a surplus Of net profits cannot be as
certained until the end Of the year and
that any declaration of or attempted pay
ment of any dividend upon the COM
mon stock before the end of the year Is
manifestly contrary to the terms Of the
company's charter, and detrimental to
the rights of the preferred stockholders.

GREAT PERFORMANCE.
Donald Balm Runs Seven FurIOngs
In Fast Time.

CHICAGO. June 19.-William Hayes
three-year-old colt Donald Balm, by
Observation-Disclosures, today ran seven
furlongs at the Hawthorne track in
1:25& This is the fastest time ever made
in the West and the fastest with one ex-
ception ever made in the United States.
The exception is the performance of
Clifford. who. a four-year-old, carry
Ing 1T pounds, ran the distance at
Sheepshead Bay on Aug. 49, 1896, in
LIS 2-5. Donald Balm carried 104 pounds,
seven below the scale. The fastest seven
furlongs previously run at Hawthorne
was by Pop Gray, on May 4, 1895, when
carrying 104 pounds as a four-year-old,
he won easily in 1:2614. Harry Duke, at
Nashville; Timekeeper. al st. Louis; Gaze
sarlan and Byron McClelland at Oakley
and Buck Massey. at Harlem, had all
made the distance in 1:26 fat but in
every instance carried light weight. On
this account Donald Bain's performance
was sensational. Several watches on the

KANSAS CITY, June 19.-(Special.)- y
The goddess of fate seems to play an
important part in the contests between
st. Paul and Kansas City. particularly in
the ninth inning. The men who lined
up under the banner of Comiskey were
again nosed out in the ninth inning today
after having apparently won the game
The Blues struggled along through eight
innings without a run and with but four
hits to their credit, while the visitors
had scored in the sixth and in the sew
enth.
The Apostles pulled out of several diff
ficult holes during the game, and Man
ning's men could have scored several
times before the eventful ninth had it not
been for the skillful fielding of the entire
visiting team and for the effective pitch
ing of McGill. The latter was up to
date from start to finish, and allowed his
opponents to hit the ball but eight times.
The error column showed but two for
the visitors, and neither of these were
costly. Geier was the main thing in the
hit class, as he landed effectively three
times. Preston and Spies got couple
each. The latter made one corking hit
to center that brought in lSbell who was
on third. The visitors showed the Blues
what fast fielders they are in a double
play in the fifth inning. Pardee hit the
ball when Boyle was on the initial bag.
1t was scooped nicely by Glenalvin, who
was at second, and Shugart transacted
business with Boyle and passed the ball
over to Isbell with lightning rapidity.
Isbell had a hard fall and also hard luck
in the fifth, when he made a try at g.
foul pop-up from Miller's bat. His tum-
BILE cost the visitors an out.
The game today was the most exciting
that has been played on these grounds
this season. Both teams played that
snappy kind of ball that keeps the spec
tators on a feather edge. The errors were
were not noticeable, and the entire affair
was red hot from the start. Score:
