RACE TRACK TRUST.
Alleged Scheme to Freeze Out the
Weaker Horse Owner.

Chicago, April 3.-The Post today
says: Romancers of the turf have
started story of a proposed Great
Western Racetrack association. The
plan is to form an incorporation heavily
bonded to take in all the principal
tracks in the territory over which the
turf congress exercises jurisdiction.
Every track will have a representative
in the directory. The owners of race
horses will be compelled to take out a
certain amount of the trusts stocks
before they can race. The minimum
amount of stock to be taken by one
owner is to be set at q figure that will
work no great injustice. For every adj
ditional horse controlled by the owner
a certain amount of stock must be
taken.
The idea is to freeze out" the owner

Homeward Movement of Volunteers
Will Be Suspended Until the Gu

bly--Telegraph Line Completed.

Havana, April S.-Among military
men the talk is of the departure Of the
remaining volunteers, which will prob
ably be delayed for couple of weeks,
until the Cuban army question is near
er a settlement. AS General Gomez is
unable to supply accurate lists of the
Cuban army, and as the Cuban assem-
bly, still retains the official lists; the
American military authorities out
wardly appear to be simply waiting,
but as a matter of fact, they are i'm
patient and disguised. The whole at
titude of the Cubans in this matter is
excessively irritating. Meanwhile the
report that the $3,0000O0 may be re-
turned to the United States is being
widely circulated, and has increased
the feeling against the assembly, whose
members are apparently Indifferent.
The next meeting of the assembly will
be held on Thursday.
When Secretary Alger was here he
discussed with General Brooke the
question of charging upon the custom
receipts the cargo of rations expected
on the Commal. The matter was left
open. Today the Commal arrived with
q million ratons, and as no decision
has yet been reached by the governor
general as to whether the supplies are

Trinidad, 200,0 600 at Matanzas, 100000 at
Cienfuegos and $780, 900 at Havana. The
Commal did not bring either sugar or
rice both of which will be procured
in the Cuban markets. Whatever the
decision as to this particular shipment,
the next shipment will be charged to
Cuba.

The Manila Pig.

One of the curious sights to an Amer.
lean visiting the Chinese and native
quarters Is the ever present pig; but, as
pigs are not allowed at large, they
have an ingenious method of tying the
pigs by the ears. They cut small
hole through the pigs ear, one-half to
an Inch In diameter. Through this
hole they insert rope, with q large
knot on one end. This rope securely
confines the pigs liberties about the
premises. The same sights are seen
often on the native boats and even on
the swell steam launches plying on
Manila bay. Transporting pigs through
the streets of Manila always attracts
a crowd, although the sight is com
mon. The legs Of the pig are tied to-
gether securely, and the pig Is then
suspended on long pole resting on
the shoulders of two native carriers.
The pig, with his legs up and head
down, makes about as much noise
while in transit MS the pig under a
gate in Missouri and never fails to hold
the crowd. Manila Freedom.

Here comes one who walks the waters

al the people of the kraal were gathered
together to meet me except the old
woman, who could not walk SO far. But
when they saw me coming up the slope
Of the hill, and when they saw what it
was that sat upon my shoulders, they
were slnitten with fear Yet they did
not run because of their great wonder.
only they walked backward before me,
clinging to each other and speaking no
word. And too came on silently, till
at length reached the kraal, and before
its gates sat the old woman basking in
the sun of the afternoon. Presently she
looked up and cried, What ails you,
people Of my house, that you walk back
ward like men bewitched, and who is
that tall and deathly man who comes
toward your

saying no word, till they passed the old
wife and ranged themselves behind her
like regiment of soldiers. Then they
halted against the fence of the kraal.
But ! came on to the old woman and
lifted him who sat upon my shoulders
and placed him on the ground before
her, saying: Woman here is your son.
