OVER 200 MEN ARMED WITH BALL
BATS, CLUBS AND SPOKES.
stood at the Gates Of Hawthorne
Park Ready to Resist the
Police of Cicero.

CHICAGO, June 5.-The Hawthorne race
track to-day was in a state of siege. Be
hind the gates stood ESQ men. armed with
baseball bats. wagon spokes and clubs. and
had the two hundred alleged special and
thirty regular policemen. under command
of Capt. Alexander s. Ross, tried to enter
the grounds there would have been serious
trouble, as both the race track officials and
the authorities of Chicago are determined
to win in what is considered the decisive
struggle for supremacy in the town. Mon
day night President Jones appointed Alex
ander s. Ross captain of police, and au-
thorized him to select two hundred special
officers, who are to act in cooperation
with the regular police officers. The pro-
gramme laid out by Captain Ross included
a raid on the betting arena and the bars
this afternoon.
Manager Frank Evoy, of the Haw-
thorne track. learned of the appointment
early in the day, and by noon he had gath
cred $50 men and boys together. This re-
Enforcement to the small army Of Pinker-
ton men already at the track increased the
number of track defenders to $50 men. 1t
was rumored that the new captain of police
the regular Cicero force, were to visit the
track during the afternoon for the purpose
of gathering information. 1t was then that
Mr.. Evoy massed his army and informed
the men of the anticipated visit. The army
was informed that officers in uniform who
came with warrants containing the names
Of the persons wanted should be assisted In
every way, but that under no considera-
ton was any officer not in uniform and
carrying John Doe" warrants to be per-
mitted to enter the grounds. The men
were further informed that Manager Evoy
would not recognize the authority of Alex
ander Ross captain of the Cicero police
until the town trustees had confirmed the
appointment. The army was then divided
into small details and ordered to defend
the several entries to the race track
grounds. The wagon gates were barri-
caded and double-locked. Behind them
stood men ready to hit the first head that
appeared The large entrance gates were
also closed and double-locked. only an ap-
erture being left open fer pedestrians. In
hailing distance from this gate seventy-five
men were lying in wait for the expected Of
ficers. who did not come, however. 1t is
expected the raid will be made within a
few days.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Native Band Quickly Learned "The
Star-Spangled Banner,

Youths Companion.
Dean Worcester, one of the best authori-
ties on the Philippine islands, told story
recently at dinner party in Washington
TO show the feeling which the Filipinos en-
tertained for the late General Lawton. A
town had been taken, and, as usual in Law
tons command, there was no burning or
looting, and the head man of the town was
greatly affected by the difference between
the American occupation and Spanish oc-
cupation some years before, when every
thing had been destroyed and the inhab-
ftants massacred.
Il was sitting one evening with General
Lawton in his little house." said Mr.. Wor-
cester. when native band came to sere-
made the officer. / called the leader in, and
said that he ought to know the Star
spangled Banner and whistled it over for
him a few times
Inside of an hour the band was back
again, and playing the American air in good
form. A native priest asked General Law
ton and myself to attend mass on the fol-
lowing day. We were surprised to hear dur
ing the soem music the strains of Ameri
cas- native air. We were afterward told
by the priest that he should always, in
memory of General Lawton, include the
patriotic air in his sacred music at the
church,"

THE STATION TOO SMALL
INCREASE IN PASSENGER BUSINESS
OF INDIANAPOLIS LINES.
Important Meeting of Passenger OIL
cials-CIover Leaf to BE Operated
as an Independent Line.

Any person who visits the Union Station
and notices the conditions is readily con-
WINGED that the present building. or at least
the train sheds. are as Inadequate for hand
ling the passenger trains arriving and de-
parting as was the old Union Depot in its
day, which gave place TO the new station
twelve years ago. 1t is suggested that the
conditions could be improved were some
plan adopted by the managers of the fif-
teen lines by which there would not be so
many trains arrive and depart at the same
hour: this plan, however, would destroy
the close and convenient connections of the
various lines. An idea OF the increase in
business at the Union Station may be
formed from the comparisons given below.
based on official figures: In 1889 there ar
rived and departed at the Union Station 49,.
500 trains; in 1899. 46.749 trains, and it should
be borne in mind that all accommodation
trains are handled twice. On these trains
were handled. in 1889. 235 .223 cars; in 1899.
26f,1S6 cars. The increase in length of trains
is also an important item. In the baggage
department the increase has been marked.
showing that there is an increase in the
travel annually. In 1889 there were handled
at the Union Station 355.079 pieces of bag
gage: in 1890. Oo.2s9 pieces; in 1899. 665,925
pieces. Notwithstanding the business at
outside ticket offices. the sales of tickets at
the Union Station in 1890 were 3s per cent.
larger than in 1882 and in the package
room the business has nearly doubled, the
receipts of this branch of service. COM
bined with excess baggage charges, going
far to pay the expenses incurred by the
fifteen lines in operating the affairs OF the
Union Railway Company.

An INDEPENDENT Line.

The purchase of the Toledo. st. Louis &
Kansas City road. through the per cent.
bonds, by a bankers committee who. IL is
said. will operate 1t as an Independent line.
is an interesting development in railroad
affairs, as it has often been thought that
some other railroad would acquire the prop
erty. This. of course. may happen now; In
fact. it is not at all improbable, as IL is not
the business of bankers to operate railroads
so much as IL is TO buy and sell them and
make profits from financing them. Never
theless, for the present IL may be assumed
that the property may be run as an inde-
pendent line. 1t Is understood that the
Hallgarten syndicate is to raise 900
to buy the 6 per cent. bonds and take the
property out of receivers hands. By the
purchase of the per cent bonds the SYM
dictate acquires the property, subject TO a
small quantity of receivers certificates, car
trusts, etc. Under Receiver Hunt and j.
w. Sherwood as superintendent much has
been done to operate the road economically,
and at the same time improve its condition

HOW PRETORIA LOOKS.
Not a Large Town, hut Up to Date In
Most Respects.

Correspondence New York Post.
1 reached Pretoria after dark. door In
the room to which I assigned at the
hotel opens upon a broad veranda on the
hotel front. On the morning after my ar
rival L turned out of a very comfortable
bed TO open that door and to observe my
surroundings. AS the fresh morning air
drove in / made a mental comment that
the stuff smelled exceedingly like the air
of the North Carolina mountains-their
September smell. II was clear and fresh
not exactly cool. but carrying a suggestion
of cool in II. Some may think that air Is
air wherever IL is found. That is not at
all. There is as much difference in the
smell of air as there is in the taste of
water. The Blue Ridge variety Is of the
finest quality and that of Pretoria brings
IL strongly TO my mind. In theory there
should be a marked difference. The hills
and mountains of western Carolina are
densely wooded to their very SUBMITS. The
hills around Pretoria are as destitute of
trees as is the Brooklyn bridge.
Imprimis. then, my nose suggested west
ern Carolina. NV eyes corroborated my
for my comparison with this country and
its people. My first sight of Pretoria at once
suggested Asheville. as my first smell had
suggested its vicinity. A red soil. ragged
darkies farmer-looking men on horseback
canvas-covered OK carts and the general
look of a place which has grown from
village to small city within dozen years
or so. That is Asheville, n. c., and that
is Pretoria. 5. A II.
Pretoria. at 4.41 feet. has twice the alti-
tude Of Asheville. 1t lies in a shallow bowl
of surrounding hills. which overtop IL from
100 to perhaps 500 feet. The diameter of
the valley may be from five TO seven miles.
Not far from the very center of the bowl
there stands a church. II is the city's
center as well. 1t occupies the center of
the large public square. Behind IL, on the
west, is the postoffice. In front of IL are
the banks. three or four OF them. Upon the
south stand the imposing government build
ings. and upon the north the buildings
of the law courts, a structure which would
be credit TO any city of 10000 inhabi-
tants. Pretoria has about 12O00. There
Is no sign OF barbarism no lack of sign of
civilization in the center OF the administra-
tive and legal center of Transvaal life
With the exception OF the southeastern COR
ner. the ground plan OF Pretoria is that
of a paralellogram, surveyed into blocks
and crossed by streets running at right an
giles. The roadways are macadamized and
are generally in fair condition. though not
as well kept as are those Of the cities OF
England's colonies I'm the east and the far
east. They are not as good the streets
OF the cities of Japan. but they are really
rather better than those OF the average OF
small American cities.
