NAY RIDE NEXT SEASON.
Tod Sloane May Be Seen in the Saddle
ON Eastern Tracks.

A New York paper says that in all prob
ability Tod Sloane viii be seen in the saddle
again on the metropolitan turf next spring.
He has received assurances that the Eng
Iish Jockey Club will restore him to good
standing within a few weeks, but with the
stipulation hat he is to ride no more in
England. Sloane, il is said, will be only too
glad TO get back on these terms. for he is
heartily sick Of the way turf matters are
conducted on the other side, and would
prefer TO ride in America anyway. As a
matter of fact, it will pay him better, for
he has been assured OF an engagement in
New York that will yield him more money
than Danny Maher will get for riding in
the colors of King Edward.
1t is understood that Sloane will sign
with the stable that seeks him, accepting a
good big sum for first call on his services.
As the stable Is a small one, he will have a
fine opportunity TO secure any number of
outside mounts. 1t is also understood that
this stable Will cOnhne its racing TO the
East, although it may be represented in
the Chicago Derby.
All the influence that the popular jockey
could bring to bear upon the English stew
ards failed to secure a reconsideration Of
his case during the past year, and Sloane
has done nothing but fit from country to
country seeking amusement combined with
DusIpess. He tried autOmObiling, pigeon
tuoOLllB ana was even an anger at the
track. He has not increased his store Of
wealth since he was suspended from the
turf and will. therefore. for financial rea-
sons, be glad 10 get back 10 his old voca-
ton.
Unlike the majority of Jockeys, Sloane
has not gained in weight with age. Al
though he Is a man now, and Will probably
remain at about his present weight for the
rest of his life. he can ride as light as any
or the hrst-class boys in the country. 1t is
unnecessary for him to waste strength in
Turkish baths a. nv a great amount of aX-
ercise- He Will undoubtedly receive a royal
welcome when he first appears by the fol-
lowers OF the metropolitan turf. The in
nuences which have brought about the
prospect of restoration are unknown.

GooDNoW TOO POOR
Declines Position of Minister to
China for Financial
Reasons.

Washington, May 1O.-On unques-
tionable authority the statement is
made that Secretary Hay, with the
knowledge and consent of the presi-
dent, made an indirect offer to John
Goodnow, while he was in the United
States recently. of the position of min
lister to China to succeed Conger, and
that Goodnow declined. The matter
was then dropped. . n
The minister to China receives S.
500 salary and is required to maintain
a good deal of state. Little, if anything.
can be saved out of the salary. The
consul at Shanghai on the other hand,
receives in salary and fees between
$4,000 and $4,000 per year. AS
Goodnow is said to have stated the
case: while the position of minister
to China would be a desirable promo

is concerned, it would be anything but

FATE OF LAKE SUPERIOR PAS
SENGER STEAMER.
FIVE WOMEN DROWNED
All Other Passengers and Crew
Escape in Safety to
Beach.

Houghton, Mich, May 1O.-The pas
senger steamer Bon voyage, caught
fire in Lake Superior tonight and was
beached near Portage ship canal. A
telephone message from Red Ridge,
a village near the spot where the
teamer was run ashore, says that
five passengers, all women, were
drowned in getting from the boat to
shore. The rest of the passengers,
all of them men, and the crew, escaped
in safety to the beach.
The burning steamer was first sight
ed about 9 o'clock. She was then sew
eral miles out from shore and was
headed for the beach. The steamer
was burning fiercely, but was appar
entity in control of the crew, who did
not have time to make the ship canal,
but headed for the shore near Red
Ridge, south of the canal. The steam
err struck bottom nealy a mile from
land, owing to shoalwater. Observers
from a distance failed to see the life
boats lowered, but they must have
been used to aid passengers and crew,
who escaped.
The tugt Mary L left the canal fol-
lowed by the tugs Medium and Fred.
A. Lee, the latter carrying a life saw
ing crew, as soon as the burning boat
was sighted. They have not returned
as yet.
The steamer is now seen to be
wrapped in fire from bow to stern and
must be burned to the waters edge.
She will probably be a total loss. She
caught fire on her last trip down from
Duluth but was saved by the crew.

London May 1O.-The Spectator in
it's issue of tomorrow will ridicule the
existing trade panic in Great, Britain
and point out that the Leyland share
holders can build new steamers, or
sell their shares and start a Green
Star steamship line.' There is no
doubt that American competition will
be keen, but competition arouses not
destroys energy. ALI history proves
the Spectator will say, "that protected
subsidized trade stagnates, and even
now Mckinley, the very best apostle
of protection is signing for reciprocity.
that is for large, although a limited
measure of free trade. Big combines
have never succeeded beyond the life
of their founders and any Napoleon of
finance who goes on conquering is
sure in the end to meet his Waterloo.
