RACING AT EMPIRE CITY TRACK.
Imp Again Beaten and Two Long
Shots Come in Ahead.

The Empire City Jockey Club opened its
track near Yonkers, N. Y, for the first
time yesterday afternoon under the new
management The weather was most en-
couraging for the opening, and about 1000
people were present when the sport began.
The general opinion is that racing at this
track will not be entirely successful until
the railroad facilities are more adequate.
The service of the trains on the regular
railroads was all that could be desired.
They were sufficiently prompt and numer-
Gus to carry the patrons of the track COM

station at Mount Vernon to the track was
entirely unprepared to handle the crowd.

Imp, of course, was the public choice in the
star race of the day, the Empire City ham

gallant struggle to win, and with a
stronger finisher than OConnor up she
might have won. She led all the way until
the last few yards, where Charentus got
his head in front and won by that distance

PRICE ON HER HEAD.
SOCIETY OFFERS $1,000 FOR
MISS JEWETT'S SCALP.
4 Sequel of the Recent Riots - The
Woman Who Denounced the Killing
OF Charles and Others by q Hob OF
LaWIess Whites.

There is much excitement in two
widely separated sections Of the coun-
try over a sequel of the recent bloody
scenes in the city of New Orleans, La,
and as result the states of Louisiana
and Massachusetts, are, so to speak,
scowling at each other with unmistak-
able viciousness. The Green Turtle
club, a semi-politieal organization Of
New Orleans, has threatened the life
and set the price of 81 900 on the head
of Miss Lillian Clyton Jewett of Bos-
ton, who headed a mass meeting Of
Boston negroes q few nights ago and
declared war on southern whites. A
Boston dispatch says Miss Jewett has
to march to New Orleans, and that
$4,000 was raised to equip them and to
send an advance agent.
Miss Jewett is president OF the Anti
Lynohing league of Boston and the
recent killing of Charles and other ne
groes without trial by lawless whites
excited the woman and her followers
greatly. At the meeting in Boston
Miss Jewett made fiery speech, in
which she denounced the whites OF
New Orleans in unmeasured terms and
declared that she would head a cru
sade against them. Excitement ran
high, and one of the speakers, the Rev.
B. w. Farris, exclaimed: If Robert
Charles could hold 1000 people at bay,
what could 10000 negroes do?''
One speaker recognized a man in
the audience who, he declared, was
former slave holder in New Orleans.
This started panic during which all
Of the whites and half of the negroes
left the church, but the negroes re-
turned when quiet had been restored.
When the news of this meeting
reached New Orleans the Green Turtle
club, which is a representative south
ern club OF over 100 members, was
stirred to great anger. In a few days
she received a letter postmarked New
Orleans. It read:
1--WE would give $1,000 reward for
your scalp in preference to any negro
In your congregation. You may be
white in the eyes of Boston people, but
in our eyes you are blacker than Rob-
ert Charles. We therefore invite you
to come down. Our members are anx-
iously awaiting your arrival to get the
prize that is offered for your head"
This was signed Members Green
Turtle club, No. 1912 Annette street,
New Orleans, La" The whole thing
started In the southern city as a joke,
but the Boston people took the matter
seriously and now the Green Turtle
members are in earnest and say they
propose to stand back of their words.
The letter to Miss Jewett further says:
Seeing that you threaten to come
to New Orleans with a mob of 10000
persons, we invite you to come as the
blacks Joan of Arc, and we assure you
that your band of crusaders would get
killed in less time than it took Charles
to kill the police officers" That this
Is seriously meant is shown by the
tact that these words were duly en-
tered on the clubs minutes.

HETTY GREEN'S WEALTH.

Mortgages Were ForecIossd.

Would Have a City of Palaces If Her
Mortgages Were Foreclossd.
No one knows precisely the extent OF
Hetty Green's wealth. 1t consists for
the most part of government bonds,
railroad stocks and mortgages, accord
ing to the Ladies' Home Journal. She
says she is not so fond of government
bonds since the finances of the nation
have become polluted with politics
Good mortgages Of any kind are now
her faVoTite form OF investment. If all
the mortgages she holds were fore
closed tomorrow twenty-eight churches
of various denominations, in almost
as many states, would become hers, and
four cemeteries would be added to her
real estate. Besides there would be
blocks of great business buildings and
splendid city houses, theaters, livery
stables and hotels, country residences,
farms and ranches. factory buildings
and thousands Of acres Of valuable land
In all parts Of the country. Several
years ago she made a tour of inspee-
ton of all the property on which she
held mortgages. She spent two years
travelling and staid at forty hotels in
as many cities Since then she has
added largely to her holdings of this
kind. The most conservative estimates
places Mrs. Green's wealth at $50, 0o0,-
600, but it is probably more. She, her
self, won't discuss the matter, except
to say that it is oVerstated.

THE REPLIES GIVEN OUT.
Ready to Enter Upon Preliminary
Negotiations With China.
LEGATION REMAINS IN PEKIN.

Washington, Sept. 25.-The State de-
partment has made public the text of
the notes addressed by it TO the gov
ernments of Germany Russia and China
in. answer to inquiries from them as to
the attitude of the United States
toward various phases of the Chinese
problem.
The. Russian and Chinese answers,
being in the form of diplomatic mem
oranda, are short to degree rarely
seen in diplomatic exchanges But in
both cases, being completely responsive
and favorable to the inquirer, they will
escape criticism on that score.
The answer to the German note is
carefully phrased so as to soften the
unqualified refusal of the United States
government to make the punishment
of the Chinese ringleaders a condition
precedent to negotiations.
1.-The government of the United States
has from the outset proclaimed its pur-
pose to hold to the uttermost accounta-
bility the responsible authors of any
wrongs done in China to citizens of the
United States, and their interests, as
was stated in the governments circu-
lar communication to the powers of
July 3, last. These wrongs have been
committed not alone in Pekin. but in
many parts of the empire and their
punishment is believed to be an essen
tial element of effective settlement
which shall prevent a recurrence of
such outrages without abating in any
wise its deliberate purpose to exact
the fullest accounta bility from the
responsible authors of the wrongs we
have suffered in Chin a, the government
of the United States is not disposed, as
into diplomatic negotiations with the
Chinese government, to join in de-
mand that said government surrender
to the powers such persons as, accord
ing to the determination of the powers,
themselves, may be held to be the first
and real perpetrators of those wrongs"
To the Chinese government the fol-
lowing was sent:
1.-The government of the United
States accepts the plenipotentiary
power of Earl Lii Hung Chang and
Prince Ching as prima facia sufficient
for the preliminary negotiations look
ing toward the return of the imperial
Chinese government and to the resump-
ton of its authority at Pekin and
toward negotiation of a complete set
Element by the duly appointed pleni-
potentiary of the powers and of China.
To these ends, the United States min
lister in Pekin will be authorized to
enter into negotiations with Earl Lii
and Prince Ching as the immediate
representatives of the Chinese emper-
or"
The Russian government is told:
1.-THE government of the United
States has not any present intention
to withdraw it's legation from Pelzin. -
Then follows the exact language
given to the Chinese government, for
the remainder of this answer to Russia.
