LIEUTENANT GIBSON WON.
Twenty-sixth Kentucky Derby
at Louisville.

Louisville, KY. May 5.--Liuetenant
Gibson won the 26th Kentucky Derby
in 2:06h. taking three-quarters of a
second off the track record for one
mile and quarter. The race itself
was in some respects disappoint-
ment. The sensational work in the
trials of the various candidates with
in the past week had given rise to the
belief that the rawhidc and steel
would be piled vigorously during the
last eighth of She journey in the big
event The promised finish failed to
materialiZc but for one reason-Iicu-
tenant Gibson was so far superior to
his field that they could not make Il
race Of it.
The Derby was the fourth event on
he card. and when the entries were
finally posted it was found that Oron-
tbs and Bender had been scratched,
leaving seven Of the hest colts I'm the
west TO contend for the honor. Ken
lucky Farmer, Lieutenant Gibson, His
EXcellency, Highland Lad. Florizar,
Thrive and Hindus came out on the
! track in the order named, and each
was in turn checred as he paraded in
front of the stand.
Starter Chinn had but little trouble
in getting them away, all closely
punched. Before the first quarter was
reached Lieutenant Gibson had taken
the lead and maintained il to the fin
ish. passing under the wire winner by
two lengths of daylight without hav-
ing been touched. Florizar was see
ond, half a length in front of Thrive
who was a length in front of High
land Lad. while His ENc%lency, Ken
lucky Farmer and Hindus were strung
ont in the order named. There were
10000 spectators present.

mckinley. Creatures.


Members of AIR. Mckinley's cabinet
have lately been diverting .themselyes
and other people by attending ban
quets in various parts of the country.
Most of their utterances are harmless
enough. OF course they praise their
master and take credit TO themselves
for various good things which they inn
agine they have done. But Secretary
Root was more unfortunate than his
colleagues when be chose the Monroe
doctrine for his topic and suggested
that We might yet have to fight in it,
defense.
lie overlooked the very obvious fact
that our intermoddling with matters
in Pacific waters left the administra-
ton with very little reason TO object
II European nations chose TO assume
the aggressive on this continent. Sure
ly Monroe never contemplated this ma
ton waging a war of subjugation on
the Filipinos and massing war vessels
to grab a share in the Chinese partition
when Il comes of.
Secretary Root might have talked
very instructively on the coming Of the
rainy season in the Philippines. which
will suspend hostilities and leave the
Filipinos no nearer subiugation than
they were before. He might have
cheered his auditors BY telling them
that The war department. j. constant
~ sending fresh troops and supplies 10
the Philippines. He might have called
attention TO the fact that its costs
nearly a million dollars a DAY 10 carry
oil the war in the Philippines. and that
the average exports from the United
States TO those islands amount to
about 5000 a day. They would be
much ieSs il ve were not supplying our
own army with many requirements.
He might have playfully explained
how necessary il is TO allow our army
officers TO have free hand when il
comes TO Cuban revenues. so thatthey
IAN live in princely magniticeuse and
entertain lavishly.
He might have suggested that the
Porto Ricans viii also he obliged TO
pay for imperialism out of the island
revenues. He should not have neglect
ed to call attention TO the democratic
simplicity with which Gov. Allen land
ed in Porto Rico. though of course he
would be excused IL he passed over the
chilly reception accorded the new gov
ernor by the populace.
Really there are so many interesting
tAings that Secretary Root might tell
the people. " seems pity 70 go back
TO that Monroe doctrine. which the nd
| ninistration has rer'aced by the gilt
