BATHOS A GREAT COLT.
He Wins Race in Fast Time-Morsan
Win Ride.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
San Francisco, Oct. 25.-Bathos, the
colt bred at the Bitter Root farm, won
a race at the Oakland track to-day in
dashing manner. He beat Bit of Fash
ion and Princess Zeika. The seven
eighths of a mile was traversed in
1:2SSz. Jockeys formerly had trouble
getting Bathos to go this distance, but
the colt has recently demonstrated that
he is the greatest 2-year-old at the
track.
Jockey Morgan, who will ride for Dan
Dennison this winter, has arrived from
Montana. He rode P. A. Finnegan this
afternoon. Morgan can do los pounds
cieverly. Before he signed the contract
with Marcus Daily he rode on all the
large tracks. His honesty was never
questioned. In speaking of his work to-
day. he said:
II have only one system. and that
system is to win when / can. / have
found that it is the best and only sys-
tenn a..
Morgan went East with Marcus Days
stable last spring. Early in the season
he sustained a fall, in which his collar
bone was broken. This accident kept
him out of the saddle all summer.

AUDITORS REPORT.
Affairs of the Postoffice Department for
the Year.

the Year.
Washington, Oct. 25.-The annual re-
port of Auditor Henry A. Castle of the
postoffice department for the fiscal year
ended June 80 1885, has been transmitted
to the secretary of the treasury and the
postmaster general. This bureau has the
largest accounting office in the govern
ment, or, perhaps, in the world since it
is the clearing house of the entire postal
service.
The report shows a volume of transact
tons aggregating about s640, 900, 600 for the
fiscal year The revenues of the postal
service We're $500 ,3s4 expenditures of
the postal service s1O1. 632. 161; volume of
money under transactions, $442, 4S3,S54.
There has been an increase in each of
these items and in each one of the various
subdivisions thereof, showing, the audi
tor says, that the postal service Is in
creasing in all it's parts, even keeping in
advance of the developments of the coun-
try in other respects
The deficit in postal revenues was
81, 61O,T 6. the smallest since 1892. and only
half that Of 1897. The number of post
offices in the United States on June was
4,3S4 and 34,750 of these were doing a
money order business. The money order
service was conducted last year at loss
OF considerably more than 100000.

ANOTHER CHALLENGER.
Major Jameson Will Make n Bid for the
Americas Cup.

New York, Oct. 25.-The Evening Post
says: There is a strong probability that
the next challenger for the Americas
sup will be Major Eustace Jameson, M.
P. He is warm friend of Sir Thomas
Upton and witnessed the races between
Shamrock and Columbia. Should Major
Jameson challenge he will havel the
Shamrock for a trial horse. Anybody who
challenges will be welcome to tile yacht
for such purpose, but Major Jameson
would be particularly so because OF the
friendship existing between him and Sir
Thomas. The Jameson boat would Very
probably be built from Watson design,
and it is said would be built in Belfast,

firm of Haland & Wolff. being quite will

the boat even has been discussed and
while some of the mutual friends of both
the major and Sir Thomas were in favor
of having it called Shamrock. the most
favored name was Hibernia. major Jane
son might challenge through the Kingston
Royal Yacht club. but will probably send
ut, if at all, through either the Royal
listers or the Royal Corks.

that the union made a serious mistake
in condemning the administration A
high officer in an authorized interview
to-day, while refusing to allow her
name to be used, said
The union made the mistake Of its
life in passing the resolution. In order
to further our temperance work, we
will have much to ask of the admins

little weight when by our minutes we
show that we have no faith in Presi-

THE GOOD OF THE NAVY
Some of the Features Of Chief
Melville's Report.
ELECTRICITY VS.. STEAM
Mistaken Policy to Drive Auxiliary
Machinery by Electricity-Rscom-
mends the Amalgamation OF
Some Departments.

Washington, Oct. 25.-The three lead
miral Melville, engneer-in- chief of the
navy, are the chapters devoted to the
personnel, to the merits OF electric VS..
steam machinery and the proposition
to consolidate the naval construction
work.
The general lessons of the war. it IS
said. We're in no way indicative Of any
desirable change in the machinery of
our ships with the exception of in
creasing the evaporating plants and
the adoption with all practical and
economical promptness of the water
tube boiler.
Admiral Melville expresses his inabil-
ity to see indications of the benefit to
the navy which was expected to result
from the operations of the personnel
He said his hope was to see vast adtii-
ton to the number of officers who
would give attention to engineering
matters and he still hopes that a com
prehensive union of the line of engi-
neering vacations will result and that
no department regulations may be per-
mitted which will prevent this consum-
nation.
Departmental regulations insisting
upon service of the line officers alter
nately in the engine rooms as well as
on deck are necessary, he said, to give
them practice.
An important chapter in the report
deals with the scope of the work now
executed by the bureau of steam engi-
neering which is set out in order to
combat the proposition to amalgamate
the construction bureaus of the navy
department.: matter which the ad-
miral regrets has never been speculated
upon.
He says not only is the trend of
modern mechanical works in all
branches towards increased specializa-
ton, but the wisdom Of such a trend is
not questioned by the leading talent III
the outside world of constructive work
The steam engineering bureau has
finally arrived at the conclusion that
it is mistaken policy to carry so far
along the practice of driving the aux
i1iary machinery of ships by electricity
and the present report presents strong
line Of reasoning to support it,

lines of wool, including Australian wool in
bond. and have already taken a consid-
cradle amount during the past 10 days
About 100000 pounds of South American
crossbreds has also been sold and further
expectations of territory may be looked
for at any time. Prices are strong with
an upward tendency and the situation has
been intesified by the strong advances
received from Australia

MISSIONARY COUNCIL.
Bishop futile Presides at the Opening OF
the Meeting

the Meeting.
st. Louis Mo, Oct. 25.-To-day's ses-
sion Of the Protestant Episcopal mis-
sonary council opened with religious
services. Bishop futile occupied the
chair for a time as presiding elder.
Bishop Whipple was late in arriving.
Rev. George H. Mcknight Of New
York offered a resolution expressing
the concurrence of the council with the
movement to establish a chair of mis-
sionary work in the theological col
leges of the country. The resolution
was made special order of business
for Wednesday afternoon.
The regular order of business, the dis
cussion of topics, was resumed and
Bishop Morey of Oregon read a paper
on How to Increase Our Lenten Of
ferings.' The bishop urged the pro-
priety and ACCESSIBILITY of educating
church people and children to fuller
knowledge of the purposes of this col
lection. He also advocated a more sys-
tematic and active extension Of the
church in sparsely settled portions of
the country. He suggested that Len
ten boxes be placed in the homes of ev-
cry family connected with the church,
in order that all might have an OPP
portunity to swell the offering.
Rev. DR.. Druhring of Philadelphia
thought the best way was to make
them realize how their contributions
had increased 1000 per cent. in %
years. Intelligent interest was what
was needed.
Right Rev. Gilbert, coadjutor bish-
op of Minnesota, offered a resolution
congratulating the children of the
church upon giving the largest contri-
button to general missions last spring
ever given in the history of the church.
By request, Bishop Whipple took the
floor and told of the English methods
of making collections for missions. His
experience was that the way to arouse
interest in missions, as in other things,
was to let the people know what was
being done. The reason why people
cared so little for missions is that they
know so little about them.

Two Flags.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Oct. Ex-Governor Smith le-
ceived by express from Butte to-day
precious memento Of the LIST Montana's
services in the Philippines in the shape
of the regimental flag that was carried
through the campaign and the blue
silhen flag known as the Kessler flag.
Both are considerably worse for their
baptism of fire and the exposure to
the elements. Their torn and frayed
ends bespeak volumes for the heroism
and patriotism of the brave men who
followed the emblems often into the
very jaws of death. The governor
feels proud of the flags, as well he and
every other Montanan may. Many
called at the governors office to-day
to see them. Just what disposition will
be made of them is not known. Wheth-i
er they will be preserved at the execu-
tive office or turned over to the State
Historical society for safe keeping and
for the inspection of visitors will be
decided later.

the position that the unusual amount
of crime by lawless negroes and the con-

spoke on the subject Of commercial and
territorial expansion. Mr.. Kasson re-
viewed briefly the acquisition Of territory
by the United States. from Louisiana to
the Hawaiian islands and the conquest of
Porto Rico. Referring to the Philippine
acquisition he declared it promised great
er immediate advantage than any other.
He said:
I'VE already know something of the
enormous capacity of the Philippines for
agricultural production of tropical wealth.
Ut its mineral wealth we know less, but
the indications are of the highest signifi-
canoe, not only of the baser metals, but
also of the precious"
Mr.. Kasson concluded with defense of
the right of this country in maintaining
control of the Philippines.
The achievements of American rail-
roads and their relation to commercial
industrial and agricultural interests
were set forth in an address by George
H. Daniels, general passenger agent of
the New York Central g. Hudson River
railroad and president of the American
Association of Passenger Agents. The
present period, he declared, is the age
of transportation and the dying nations
are those with little or no transporta-
ton facilities.
A comparison was made between rail-
roads and canals, stress being laid on
the rapid transportation facilities pro-
vided by the former. A brief address
on trade conditions was delivered by
