fourth place, but an accident to Wal

and forcing him into fifth place.
By mutual agreement, the sixth

able to better them. Waller withdrew
from the contest after riding 451 miles,

to fight for first place. Lawson taking
third and Pierce fourth place. Lawson
and Pierce retired from the track just
before the last mile, leaving Turville
and Stevens to fight it out for first
place. The last mile was loaf, the rid

he was in better mental and physical
condition than any other rider. For
this action he was by some called a
gutter. He declared he would ride TO

Served With Distinguished Honor in the
Civil War;


Washington, Feb. 26.-Major General
Joseph j. Reynolds. U. S. A, retired, is
dead. aged II years. A month ago Cen
eral Reynolds had an attack of paraly-
sis which eliminated in cerebral hem
orrhage causing death late yesterday.
After the beginning of the civil war
he rose rapidly in rank from colonel of
the 10th Indiana volunteers to major
general of United States volunteers.

judicial circuits; amending the act gov
erning the immediate transportation of
dutiable goods without appralsement;
adjusting the clothing account for de-
ceased soldiers in certain cases; allow
ing voting machines in elections for
representatives in congress; removing
the remains of Gen John A.. Rawlins to
Arlington national cemetery; admitting
to West Point and to Annapolis certain
persons designated by the governments
of Venezuela Costa RIGA ana Colombia.
The bill establishing a national mill
tary park to commemorate the cam
paign siege and defense or V1cksbErg
passed both houses Among the bills
which have passed one or the other
houses are: Amending the war revenue
bill as to stamping of bond or note and
mortgage; authorzns the secretary of
the navy to pay extra compensation for
certain extra services IN navy yards.
ETC.; to establish an International bank;
to pay dividends Of the freedman's
Trust and Savings bank; giving general
right of way through Indian reserva-
tions; amending the act for the reim-
bursement of states for the raising of
volunteer forces during the war with
Spain; granting a pension to ex-Sena-
tor John M. Palmer; authorizing
monument at Havana to the survivors
of the Maine. The revision of the laws
OF Alaska and the judicial system also
has been considered in both houses, but
final action has not been reached.
The total appropriations OF the pres
ent session will approximate s70O,0oO,O0O.
of which about s2JO0Qo,o00 will be for
the military and naval uses or for sub
jects connected with the war. This Is
a general estimate however, based
upon totals which may undergo much
change, as very few Of the large appro-
priation bills have become law, and
some of them have not even been con-
sidered. If the Nicaraguan canal
amendment is added to the river and
harbor bill this will make a material
increase. Included in the naval bill are
provisions for threa seagoing battle
ships. three armorcd cruisers and six
small cruisers, fer which $10,000,000 is
appointed for the first years work.
Based on estimates the total appro-
priations for the congress (not includ.
ing the four appropriation bills left over
by the former congress) would be ap-
proxima tely 81 100000 ,000 of which
amount approximately 5000, 100000 is for
war expenses or incident to the army
and navy.

San Francisco, Feb. 26.-The Califor-

for considerable discussion. Three

the former is not given much considera-

since his sickness was anything but
promising one. FOrmerO. owing to his
impressive win the first time out this

as most likely winner. Should he de-

doubt that the Southern California colt

post with a big following. as he is bred
on Derby lines. While Olinthus may
find Derby distance a little beyond him.
Galen Brown trusts to his weight-pack-
ing ability to land him close up. First

Burns & Warehouse, and with the spe-
cial prepare ton that he is receiving is

as he is a rather small colt. Limewater
is a grandly bred colt and with the
needed rest should be given some con-
sideration, as he will doubtless run
ahead of his recent form. Survivor, in
Pat DUNES hands, is sure to go to the
post ready to go the race of his life.
He should be hard colt to dispose of,
as he has displayed more than usual

All in all, the California Derby for
