Cossacks certainly are. so far as APP
pearance goes. They do not love the
Chinese, and clearly enjoy fighting them.
but of the stories of outrage and
atrocity that 1 have so far had time to
run down not one has developed into
more than a slandey.
Americans Were Splendid.
There has been looting since we en-
tered Tien Tsin. That / connot doubt,
since | have seen 1t. But no American
soldier has been engaged in 1t. You In
America will have no need to blush fo-
your soldiers or marines. Both have
stood well to the front In the brunt Of
the fighting. Their discipline has been
irreproachable. In one way TINS Chi

In no way could the discipline of our
men have been better proved than II was
in the way they refrained from iooting.
even when It could have been done away
from the gaze of their officers, and In tho
way in which they stopped others from

stated that about 2,000 of the Yaquis are
still holding out against the government,

The movement for peace was brought

had to administer n locust rebuke before
the colored gentleman could be made to
understand that going about with pocket
guns was against the law. And the fur
ther truth is if this particular colored
unfortunate of police malignity had not
been dubbed he would have laid the po-
liceman low, as Policeman Thorpe was
laid low, which killing was the cause of
the anti-negrO riot and the anti-negro
feeling.
Finally the negro is n negro whether
I'm the north or in the south There are
many good negroes. as the southern peo-
pie can attest, but there are many bad
ones, and a southern bad negro plus
the arrogance he relegates to himself
when he comes north makes him especial
ly dangerous, undesirable, and a constant
menace.
The attacks of such papers as Tho

At the Gravesend Track Yesterday
Afternoon, was Won Handily by
kinIey Mack.
GRAVESEND RACE TRACK, May
26.-The horses going to post for the
Brooklyn handicap went past the
grand stand, where there was little or
no applause for any except Imp. They
were quickly lined up, the barrier be-
ing dropped in front of them at 4:12.
They were off at the first break in
good order at 4:12H with Imp in front.
There was a good deal of crowding
coming down toward the gram stand
and as they passed, having covered the
first quarter, Imp, Kinley Mac and Raj
faello were OF even terms. Going
around the lower end Raffaleo went in
front and at the end of the first half
mile was half a length ahead.
Going up the back stretch. Kinley
Mack o~verhauled him, and as The.
rounded the upper turn ne was half a
length to the good and going strong.
On the upper turn Kinley Mack open
ed a gap of half a length and Herbert
and Survivor set sail for him. Their
efforts were fruitless, for Kinley Mack
had considerable to spare and came
down the stretch winning very easily,
Raffaello second, Herbert third. Time,

YANKEE JOCKEYS IN ENGLAND.
ny Frank w. Thorp.

The jockey question is always inter-
esting. That the present crop of riders
is a very poor n there Is no question,
but are they better than the jockeys of
ten years ago? This is a problem hard
to decide, for racing has entirely chang
ed in the last ten years. Where there
were men like Mclaughlin, Fitzpatrick.
Hayward. Garrison and others in the
saddle there are now youngsters like
Odom. slaher. Mitchell. O'Connor and
Clawson.
That they are an improvement over
the older men Of the saddle is doubtful.
II we could go back ten years and put
the stars Of to-day against tae stars of
that time the youngsters would not be
in il. That is because times have
changed. Races were run differently.
In those days owners used TO give in
structions to their jockeys to wait m
behind and cut loose at the head OF the
stretch.
The result was that. to spectators.
races were prettier TO look at. and the
strongest finisher through the stretch
Won the money. This was what made
Snapper famous. Il might be said
very properly that ii those times the
jockeys used 10 make the horses run
as they wished 10. In these days OF
baby jockeys the horse runs his own
race, and there is no waiting until the
stretch is reached.
To be a jockey in these days one has
TO weigh about n~inety-ive pounds. be

YOUNGSTOWN, O., May 25.-Presi-
dent Hughes, of the New Castle club,
had a conference here to-day with
Strobel. of Toledo, and Finn, of
Youngstown, regarding farmed play
ers. At the meeting of the Interstate
League a resolution was adopted
against farm" players, and any club
offending was to be fined $50.
1t is known by President Power that
Fort Wayne is using "farmed" play
ers to the detriment of the other In
terstate clubs. Messrs. Hughes, Stro-
bel, and Finn decided to go into the
farm" business, and will secure all
the National League players they can
get their hands on.
