PATCHEN PAGING KING
Star Pointer Beaten and Will Never
 Again Enter Race

New York, September 6.-Fifteen thous- Empire City trotting track today to see Pointer, Joe Patchen, John R. Gentry and Searchlight. The last named was not in condition and did not start. In the betting ring there was surging crowd only too anxious to bet 100 to 30 on Star Pointer against the field.
 They got away for the first heat on the fourth break like a triple team, and when the word was given, Pointer at once start ed out to win, while Patchen hung on to the favorite's wheel with the grim deter- imitation of a veteran.
 Around the back stretch the conflict was close and exciting and the public almost lost sight of John R. Gentry, as he was several lengths behind. Into the stretch they came, Star Pointer on his courage and Joe Patchen desiring to beat his old and mighty antagonist, but Star Pointer beat him out by neck in 2:0414.
 In the second heat they were punched to the quarter, where Patchen assumed the lead and held it clean to the wire in spite of the determined effort of McCeary, who was driving Pointer. Patchen won by a length, with Gentry several lengths in the rear. Time, 2:022l. This is the fastest mile paced in a race this season.
 There was now a rush to cover among the spectators, who recognized that the old time pacing King was 10 De dethroned, ana they made no mistake. As soon as the word was given Joe Patchen started out to complete his victory, and he did it in most effective manner Star Pointer broke so badly that he was distanced, and John R. Gentry was utterly unable to compete with the horse that he beat at Rochester yesterday and which beat him at Goshen. The time for the last heat was 2:O4A.
 It was announced that Star Pointer would never race again.

THE MAzET INVESTIGATION.
Majority of Witnesses in Favor of the
 Present System.

New York. September 26.-The testimony before the Mazet Investigating commission was much upon the same lines as yester- day, being an inquiry into the contribu- tions to the election funds by judicial can didates. Of the witnesses examined the majority seemed to have no opposition to the present method of receiving assess ments from the candidates.
 Surrogate Fitzgerald paid 5000 to Tam many in 1892; former Surrogate Ransom paid Tammany sl2OOO in 1887; Justice Mad dox paid $3500 to the republicans; Justice Smythe of the supreme court paid $5,000 to Tammany; Justice FitZsimmons of the city court paid $2000; Justice Leventritt paid S, 900 to them, but none of these were opposed to the system of contribution. Judge Cowing of the court of general ses- sions, who contributed $5,000 and Justice Freedman who put up $2,5OO were opposed to the system. Justice Gaynor testified that he had refused an. offer of $5O,0OO worth of Ramapo stock to use his influence to get the cities of New York and Brooklyn to adopt the water system.

New York, September 26-The Evening Post prints the following interview with Admiral Dewey:
 ''They are a splendid lot" the admiral said, speaking of his men. "The very picK the finest in our navy, and the best in the world. Before l got to Manila the archbishop, with whom I afterward became very intimate, said that the American sail ors were the scum of the earth-a blood thirsty lot of cutthroats who would de- stroy everything in their path.
 "Only later on. when I did get there," said the admiral, with a knowing smile, "the archbishop came on board one day while I had battalion drill-the very same battalion that will parade in New York The archbishop went on the bridge and watched them closely l knew he was ad- miring them, and 1 said to him: What do you think of our American sailors?'
 They are splendid, he said; I have seen the mon of most navies, but never anything like these. They are magnificent I cannot understand it-such splendid young fellows. How does it happen?'

PHILIPPINE REORGANIZATION.
Four New Departments Have Been De-
 cided Upon.

Washington, September %.-It has been definitely determined to create four depart ments in the Philippines outlined in uaese dispatches few days ago. There are yet some details to be worked out and possibility of changes in the lines of de- partments.

The other department Will be in the northern part of the island. Each of these departments in Luzon will be under g. major general A department probably twill be established covering tine viscayan group of islands and another the Sulu group. Each of these would be under the command of a brigader general. The plan Is not fully arranged, but ,ilne latest proposition embracing these features meets with approval at the war department.

PRISONERS WILL BE RELEASED
Two Shipwrecked Englishmen Make
 This Statement

New York, September 26.-A dispatch 10 the Herald from Manila says:
 "The two Englishmen who assert that they were shipwrecked in a small open beat near Bigan, at the northern end or Luzon, brought message from the insur- gent general, Patalon Garza, that fourteen American prisoners who are now held at Tarlac will be released Tuesday or Wednesday, The delay in releasing these prisoners as promised several days ago, is said to be owing to the fact that the Filipinos wish to furnish them with new clothing when they set them free
 "The Englishmen stated further that Lieutenant J. c. Gilmore and the captured boats crew from the Yorktown are still al Bigan, but will be released later in ac- cordance with the wishes of the Philippine congress and the sudden cry of Aguinaldo providing for the release of all American prisoners. 1ne admitted work of thus re- leasing the Americans must impress for eign courts.
 ''Ihe released Englishmen assert that three Americans who have been taken pris- oners have accepted commissions in the in- surgent army One of the three Is said to be an insurgent, but his regiment is known, while the other two are negroes.
 "The Filipino authorities sent word that no trace can be found of Captain Rocke- feller of the Ninth infantry, who disap- peared in April and was supposed to have been captured.
 ''The insurgent army has a heterogeneous supply of arms. Sometimes there four types of rifles to a regiment.
 "The main resistance to the American advance is to made at Tarlac.
 "On the way to the American lines the Englishmen were taken on wide tour away from the insurgent front and were thus unable to see the rebel defenses, which are reported to be strong"

THE SUN AGAIN IN TROUBLE
Their Non-Union Competitors Go Out
 On Strike.

New York September 26.-A number of the non-union compositors who took the places of the loeked-out printers on the Sun struck tonight. They complain that they have been unjustly treated and that the management of that paper has not kept the agreement made with them at the time they were employed.
 According to the story told by one of the strikers, they were to receive 50 cents per 1000 ems, which is the union wage scale. They have received this, but from eight to ten correctors have been employed and their wages of 60 cents per hour have been deducted from the earnings of the compositor. It is said thirty-eight out of the regular force of ninety-four men left their work.
