Fastest Time Made in the West.

CHICAGO, June 19.-William Hayes
three-year-old colt Donald Balm by
Strathmore- Gladness, to-day ran seven
furlongs at the Hawthorne track in
1:2o54. This is the fastest time ever
made in the West and the fastest, with
one exception ever made in the United
States. The exception is the perform
ance OF Clifford who as a four-year-
old, carrying 127 pounds, ran the dis
tance at Sheepshead Bay on August
20, 1894, in 1:252b. Donald Balm car
ried 1O4 pounds, seven below the scale.
Several watches on the outside caught

The officers Of the Seventh Regiment

of the matter, though Colonel Berry,

But Manages to Argue Against
Governing Other Races.

ST. LOUIS, June 19.-Colonel William
J. Bryan, in a letter declining an invi-
tation to attend a picnic to be given
by the Ancient Order Of Hibe-nians
owing to other engagements, says:
''All races have exhibited more or less
Of race pride and attachment, but none
have shown themselves more devoted
than the Irish to the land of their birth
and the people Of their blood. Our ma
ton can learn from the Irish people
a lesson of great importance just at
this time, namely, that one race can
not govern another race except by
force; nor can it govern without ex-
citing the continued enmity of the gov
erned. ireland has long been denied
the right of self-government but the de-
sire for government has decreased
rather than diminished with the lapse ct
years."

MASKED ROBBERS.
They Raided Railroad Office and
Secured $4,000.

PHILADELPHIA, June ia gang
of masked robbers, probably ten in
number, raided the receiving office of
the Fairmount Park Transportation
Company, at Belmont, in Fairmount
Park, and after holding up the receiver
and five other employees Of the railroad,
blew open the safe, securing 1900, the
company's receipts for two days.
Frank Leavan, receiver; Frank Wat
son and Henry B. Whitehouse conduc-
tors; James Cavanaugh, fireman of the
power house; Philip Eaves, electrician,
and William Cadmus. laborer, were
bound hand and foot with wire. In adj
dition to the mem who actually commit
ted the robbery, others operated miles
away from the scene by destroying tele-
graph and telephone wires connecting
with the trolley company's main Office.
The Fairmount Park Transportation
Company operates various lines of troll
ley cars through the park for pleasure
riders. The traffic being unusually
heavy on Saturday and Sunday, the
robbers evidently decided upon this
morning as being a good time to make
big haul. The men above named were
all in the Office when the burglars made
their appearance. Each of the intrud-
ers was armed with two revolvers and
they took the employees completely by
surprise. 1t was the work of a few mo-
ments for the robbers to pinion the
workmen, who were rolled over to cne
side Of the room with their faces TO
the wall. Ten minutes later the safe
had been cracked and the gang disap-
peared
The entire city detective force is on
the case, but the cracksmen left no
clew
Frank Leayan, the night receiver,
one of the men gagged and bound by
the robbers, told the story of his ex-
psrience:
while I was standing at the Office
door heard footsteps in the rear Turn
ing saw two men with masks ON their
faces. They had two big revolvers and
took me into the conductors room and
tied my hands and feet with wire and
laid me on the floor with my face to
the wall. In the conductors room I
saw Whitehouse was also being bound
and gagged
when we were laid on the door a
man was detailed to guard U.S. In a
lew III CdIlIe aIlDtueT ElCtlII,
who, 1 think, was Watson, conductor,
ard he went through the same thing.
Then two more came in and were
bound The burglars worked quietly
1t only took them ten minutes to blow
open the safe.
''The guards frequently threatened to
shoot us if we made the least outcry or
motion
Il think they must have had a wagon
to take away the cash. because it was
very heavy.
Shortly after the money was taken
our guards left. Finally Philip Eaves,
the electrician. got himself loosened,
and he then loosened us.
Il tried to reach the City Hall by
wire, but the wires of both telephones
had been cut and I had to run in the
pitch dark cross country to the Belmont
pumping station, where / gave the
alarm and they informed the detec-
tives"
Peter Duffert and Charles Smith, who
say they live in Newark. N j., and
Albert Leeds of Philadelphia were ar
rested in Paramount Park on suspicion
of being concerned in the robbery.
