Give Ingleside Coursing Club OFF,

Representatives of Ingleside Coursing
Park appeared before the Health and Po-
lice Committee of the Supervisors yester-
day. They made an earnest plea that the
recent ordinance prohibiting betting on
racing be so amended as to permit Of
pools being sold on the competition be-
tween greyhounds. Chairman Collins and
his associates on the committee listened
attentively to all that was said, but gave
the petitioners no hope of relief. Action
on the matter was deferred
Dominick Shannon, president of Ingle-
side sCoursing Club, was the first heard.
He. dwelt on the honorable position which
coursing had attained here and that it
was essentially a poor mans sport. He
told of the character of the people at
tracted to the park and of the good order
maintained at all times. Coming down
to more, material affairs he said he and
his associates had invested $12, 900 in the
park recently and this would prove a total
loss If their ground were closed. There
would also be marked depreciation in
the, value of the hounds when fewer. on
portunities were presented for running
them.

Il Milkman, Wife and Hired Man
Battle With Butchers.

After the melee was over each of the
Steinbrings had a black eye and the meat
market looked as if it had been struck by
a cyclone.
When Evans learned that warrants
were out he and his wife and hired man
surrendered themselves at the City
Prison, after consulting Attorney Dinkel-
spiel who will represent them in the Po-
lice Court. Their story differs from the
Steinbrings. Mrs. Evans said that for
seven years Mrs. Charles Steinbring, who
lives at Is Hartford street had been say
ing mean things about her, and she could
stand it no longer. Accompanied by her
husband and Hickey she went to the meat
market in a friendly way to ask that Mrs.
Steinbring should desist from her SIAN
ders. and as soon as they got there the
Steinbrings came out TO the sidewalk
armed with cleavers and meathooks.
They attacked Evans and threw him
down, and Hickey went. to his assistance
and pulled the Steinbrings away from
him That was really all that occurred.
Evans and the hired man corroborated
her. They were released on bail.

FRANCE GETS MONEYS WORTH
1t Secured More Advantages in the ReciprOc-
ity Treaty Than it is Aware OF,
KICK SHOULD COME FROM AMERICAN,
Opposition I'm Paris TO the Treaty Is
Very strong and IL Has n
Dilicult Course to
Run.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-A good deal Of
surprise has been caused in official circles
here by the unexpected opposition develop
ing in France to the ratification OF the Teci-
procity treaty just negotiated by Mr.. Kasson
and NJ. Cambon. 1t is not deemed eXpedient
now to make public the details Of the conven-
ton, but it can be stated authoritatively that
in the opinion Of our own officials the French
have driven a hard bargain in making the
treaty. They have, II is said, secured more
advantages than they had any just reason
to expect at the beginning Of the negotia-
lions and that success was ultimately OBJ
tanned is owing to the fact that the negotia-
tors felt bound to observe the behest OF the
president and make a treaty at all hazards.
1t is suspected here that the French people
are not aware of the actual value of the con-
cessions they have obtained and there is
reason to believe that when the champagne
makers learn the amount of benefit they are
to receive the opposition to the consumma-
tion of the treaty will be at once transfer
red from France to the United States.
The statement made yesterday by NJ.
Delcasse, French minister for foreign affairs,
that the treaty contains the favored nation
clause is said to be misleading to the public,
for what it does contain in that direction Is
% SpNNA'h 'AS 80 NH> NNSN
lines of articles of Import, that il the rate
of duty is reduced below the figures stated
to any other nation, then France shall have
the same rate. But this provision Is not
general and applies, as stated, only to GER
tain specified articles. 1t is believed that
under this head, however, the French cham
payne makers will profit, for, while the
treaty itself does not give them the rate
desired. yet they probably may profit by
the low rate just given to the Portuguese
makers Of sparkling wine.
1t is appreciated that the opposition in
Paris comes from very influential quarters.
The Republique Franchise, which makes a
bitter attack on the treaty, is directed by
NJ. Meline, former premier, and one of the
most capable leaders in French politics. In
particular he represents the peasantry and
the gentleman farmer class, and his leader
ship Of an opposition indicates that the
treaty will have a difficult course before it.

BOTTOM DROPS OUT Of CANAL
Contractor on Hcnnepin Ditch strikes
n Hard Proposition which
Puzzles Him.

CHICAGO, July ga Times-Herald spe-
cial from Kewanee, ILL.,, says: The bottom
of the Hennepin canal in Henry and Bureau
counties has fallen out, and the Cincinnati
firm which has the contract for construction
on this section Is puzzled and in dismay
at the unexpected happening.
Near Sheffield, in Bureau county, several
miles beyond the junction with the Sterling
feeder of the canal, the big steam shovels
were at work on a low stretch OF ground
where the water had been rather trouble
some. Below the soft superstrata of earth
was a bed OF hardpan, and when this was
scooped through he water suddenly vanished.
Later 1t was found that the ground for 100
feet around where the big shovel stood had
sunk ten feet.
Subsequent borings brought to light the
fact that no solid bottom existed for a
depth OF forty-two feet below tho leval of
the h%ardpan. Quicksand in the soil Is
thought to be the reason for this shrinking
of the ground and the same trouble has often
been experienced in digging wells.
lnasmuch as the canal has to be cut ac-
cording to the accepted surveys through
about four miles of the ground apparently
of the same consistency the case presents
some engineering features that are quite cut
OF the ordinary, and it is puzzling the con-
tractors to know how to accomplish the feat.

PORT AU PRINCE, July 26.-At a meeting
of the creditors of the government of Haiti,
held yesterday in the national palace, the
minister of finance submitted a proposition
for the consolidation of the interior debt
Of the island, which amounts to about IS, OOO,-
900. The plan suggested contemplates the
suspension of payment on the principal for
one year. The creditors retired with
out having reached a decision, but APP
peared to be unfavorably disposed toward
the proposition of the minister of finance.
There will be another meeting Thursday, at
which a definite understanding may be
reached. The financial situation is regarded
as critical.
