Important Visit of Chairman Gerlnch
to Boston.

Boston, March 23.--The visit to the
city of Frederick Gerlach, chairman of
the t. A. w. national racing board has
much to do with the sport in this sec
tion of the country, and before his de-
parture some interesting changes are
likely to be made and announced. In
the course Of an interview this after
noon Mr.. Gerlach said the outlook was
a very promising one and promoters
are busily engaged in arranging for race
meets In most of the divisions the Of
fetal racing boards are arranging for
state circuits. In New York this feat
ure is well under way. The application
for sanctions in Pennsylvania is larger
now than it has been for many years at
this season. The west and south are in
a healthy condition, and on the Pacific
coast things are much better than last
season. In answer to question as to
the expenses of amateurs in interna-
tional races, he said: Expenses Of am
ateurs competing in international
championship races can be paid, as un-
der the rules of the I. c. A. the Compel
itors may be pail by the unions of the

REED rs TYCE PRESIDENT.
One of the Reports Growing Out OF
Jekyl Island Trip.

Thomasville, Ga, March 23.-The
presidential tally-ho party to-day drove
to the Country club The club which
is the recognized social institution of
Thomasvile, entertained the party. To-
night the president signed appointments
and transacted other necessary busi-
ness. The Jekyl Island trip has caused
reports of a conference there and that
Speaker Reed would be nominated for
vice president on the ticket with Mr..
Mckinley at the next republican cam
paign. 1t can be stated authoritatively
that politics were tabooed at Jekyl ISL
and. Speaker Reed declined a vice
presidential nomination at the last con-
vention. No thought of a change of
view on his part has ever been suggest
ed, and the administration leaders do
not have him in mind in this connec-
tion. Moreover, the statement can be
made that the closest and most cordial
relations, political and personal, exist
between Messrs. Mckinley, Hobart and
Hanna, and that for some time they
have had definite understanding that
if Mr.. Mckinley was renominated his
running mate would be Garret Hobart

A Bad reCk,

Harvard, Mass, March 23.-The worst
wreck that has occurred on the Worces-
ter and Nashua division of the Boston
and Maine road since the Lancaster
wreck in 1887, was experienced this af-
ternoon when the Nashua extra freight
ran into the rear of freight No. 81, which
was standing opposite the Still River
station. Both trains were bound for
Nashua. The binding storm prevented
the engineer of the extra from seeing
the stationary train. Seven cars of the
regular freight and the engine and four
cars of the extra were derailed. Goals
from the engine of the extra set fire
to the wreck and the eleven cars were
entirely consumed, together with nearly
all of the contents. The loss is fully
$50, 900.

Thrown Into Ynzoo River.
jackson, Miss. March 23.-Three ne
groes were lynched by a mob near Sill
ver City, in Yazoo county, last Satur-
day morning. After the negroes were
shot to death their bodies were weight
ed with bundles of cotton ties and were
thrown into the Yazoo river The ne
groes were Miner Wilson, C. c. Reed
and Willis Boyd. They were the ring
leaders of the negroes in a race encoun-
ter on the Midnight Plantation early
last week. They We're arrested and
taken to Yazoo City Jail. The offense
with which they were charged having
been committed in Sharkey county the
Eharkey authorities were notified. Last
Friday evening Deputy Constable Syl-
yester arrived and the prisoners We're
turned over to him. The constable
boarded the steamer Rescue with the
negroes Saturday morning and reached
Silver City, The prisoners fell into the
hands of a mob and were shot to death
and thrown into the river The feeling
against these negroes had been very
bitter on account of the disturbance at
the Midnight Plantation, when they,
with two other comrades, had fired up-
on two whites on the public road. A
horse belonging to one of the white men
was wounded, but the men were not
harmed. .....

Question as to who Is Supreme Settled
by Alger.

| Washington, March 23.-The following
order has been issued at the war depart
ment:
Order THAT hereafter no chief or acting
chief of staff corps shall be detailed or or
dered to any duty by any authority without
the approval Of the secretary of war.
r. A. Alger, Secretary of War.
BY command of Major General Miles.
II. @. Corbin, Adjutant General.
This order of Secretary Alger has
been issued to set at rest all questions
as to who is the supreme authority in
the war department. 1t is an old con-
troversy dating back to the time when
Jefferson Davis was secretary of war
and General Scott commanding general
of the army. The last time the matter
was brought prominently to the atten-
tion of the country was during the ad-
ministration OF President Arthur, when
Secretary Lincoln wrote a caustic letter
to Lieutenant General Sheridan, stating
that the staff corps of the war depart
ment with the exception of the adjutant
generals and the inspector generals
corps were under the direct control and
subject only to orders by the secretary
of war. The order of Secretary Alger
will hereafter include the chiefs of those
corps under the sole control of the Sec
retary. General Miles has held to the
construction based upon the letter Of
Secretary Lincoln. The cause for the
issuance of the order was a recent or
der of General Miles to Lieutenant Col
onel Darlington, acting chief of the in
spector generals corps during the abb
sence of General Breckenridge, directing
Darlington to visit certain points in the
west on an inspection tour. The order
of the secretary does not refer to GEN
eral Breckenridges present duty in
Cuba, as he is acting under orders is
sued by Secretary Alger

Washington, March 23.-Admiral
Sampson has received from the presi-
dent the following reply to his letter Of
March 8:
Washington, March 13.
My Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your
very considerate letter of the ninth in
stant, in which you express desire
that, without reference to your inter-
ests, the other naval officers who rem
dered such conspicuous service in the
naval campaign in the West Indies
have the advancement you recommend
ed for them and in which you ask moth
ing for yourself. I highly commend
this disinterested action on your part.
Let me assure you that / have the high
est appreciation of your services as
val forces during the Spanish war, in
blockading Cuba cooperating with the
army, directing the movements of the
great number of vessels under your or
ders, and at last, after the most effec-
tive preparation, consummating, with
the gallant officers and men under your
command, the destruction Of the Span
ish fleet. 1t was in recognition of your
services and of your great skill that l
recommended you to the senate for the
which you had earned.
Very truly yours,
William Mckinley.

In the same village his sister was
quartered on an aunt, and the boy lived
| between the two houses. Munkacsy
was at his aunts house one day, when
| brigands entered, knocked down his
aunt and bound the whole household
eight people-hand and foot The aunt
was compelled to go around and show
where everything was kept. She died
shortly afterward, and Munkacsy, to
the last day of his rational life, always
referred to the experience as one that
had biased his whole artistic career
particularly as it affected his dramatic
instinct. The youngster was then ap-
prenticed to a tradesman. In his auto
biography he tells of those days of ap-
premiership, of heading glue and grind
ing cheap paint and of the delight he
felt when he first accomplished a table
all by himself.
AT fourteen he was qualified work
man, and was sent by his uncle into
the world with five fiorins in his pocket.
For two years he lived in Arad. Then.
his health weakened by wretchedness
and lack of food, he was compelled to
return to his uncle's house Here the
sight of engravings set him copying
them, and the taste returned to him like
a passion. One day his uncle, CHANGING
to look over his shoulder at a drawing
said: You might possibly become a
painter" Shortly after this he entered
the studio of German named Fischer,
where he met Szammossy, a painter of
some talent. who gave him an invita-
tion to enter his studio. He accepted,
but not having other means to pay for
instruction, insisted on being man of
all work at the Szamossy house. After
eighteen months he struck out for him
self, and, on a very limited purchase of
colors, began to paint a composition
with life-sized figures. In 1870 the
young Hungarian arrived in Paris not
knowing word Of French, with pic
ture that he carried to the Salon with
his own hands. 1t was the success Of
the year-"The Last Day of Con-
demned Prisoner''-and Immediately es-
tablished his reputation. This was fol-
lowed by The Night Prowlers," 1.-The
Studio" "The Two Families, Milton

ters.' Christ Before PLATE" Christ

results of the work of the last congress.
The statement shows that LAST bills

Of a total of 1S46S introduced In both
houses. OF the measures introduced
12,6OS were presented in the house and
5,S56 in the senate. OF those which be-
came laws 942 originated in the house
and 515 In the senate. There were
only two direct vetoes during the con-
gress, one of these applying to senate
bill and the other to a house measure.
There were in addition to these. four
pocket vetoes, bills which failed to be-
come laws because they were not APP
proved by the president. The record
shows that the senate passed 1,173 Of its
own bills and that the house acted fay-
orably upon only SIT, or fewer than
half of them, while of the 1,O81 house
bills passed by the house, the senate
acted favorably upon 946. A larger
number of bills were introduced than in
any previous congress.
