Negroes to Arm Themselves With Re-
vOlvers Bought From Soldiers.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan, June 16.-
Considerable excitement has been ere
ated by the unearthing of what appears
to be scheme of the negroes of Leav-
enworth to arm themselves with re-
volvers purchased from soldiers at Fort
Leavenworth. Ever since, the burning
of Fred Alexander, the negroes Of Leav-
enworth have been in an ugly mood
and conservative men say that the race
feeling stirred up at that time may
break out any time. The police are
doing everything possible to kill this
feeling, and are assisting the officers at
Fort Leavenworth to recover the re-
yolvers.

Although Olympian failed to secure the
grand prix to-day, Americans here gather
much satisfaction from the fact that fol
the first time in the history of this race
the winning horse was ridden by an
American jockey. Hts name is Rig5y
The big American contingent present in
| the paddock to-day lost q considerable
sum on Olympian. as well as on Henry s
four mounts as the score of Henry yester-
day tempted Americans and a number OF
Frenchmen to back him to-day. In the
opening race the prix du Armenonville,
Henry's riding of Pile ct Face, made this
horse a favorite. But Henry lost ground
from the start and only succeeded in fin
ishing third. Rigby taking second place

The running of the grand prix produced
a splendid finish between Cheri and Tt
bere, Cheri winning by head. Lady Kill
er, with Lester Reiff in the saddle, came
in two lengths and half behind the Sec
ond horse. The correct time OF the race
was 3 minutes, 10 seconds. The betting
in the Mutuals on the grand prix totaled
1,706,S4o francs. The final race, the prix
du Due d'Aoste, showed Henry again hav-
ing considerable trouble with Pomme dor
on which he won yesterday. Pomme dor
made several false starts at the post, and
finally when the horses got away he was
last and twenty yards behind the bunch.
He ran well, however but failed to re-
cover the ground lost at the start and fin
ished fourth.
Rigby rode one winner, secured second
place in two events and was unplaced in
two others.
Long Champs presented a brilliant scene
during to'day's racing, and more pretty
toilettes were visible than for several
wears past. The weather was overcast
most of the time, but there was no rain
and the contest for the grand prix was
favored by brief spell of sunshine. Pres
ident Loubet, accompanied by his wife,
drove to the race. course with the tradi-
tional ceremony in a four-horse landau
without riders, and escorted by cuiras-
siers. King Leopold, of Belgium, who is
on special visit to Paris to attend the
race, was also present, as were NJ, De-
schanel and M. Malieres, and most of the
cabinet ministers. The Count and Count
ess Of Castellane were also present
The victory of Cheri was popular, as he
is French horse, but was a disappoint-
ment to the majority of the bettors, who
backed Saxon as a certain winner The
betting on the favorite was even. On
Cheri it was IA to l against, 80 to against
on There. 20 to l against on Lady Killer,
and IA to against on Olympian.
AS President and Nine Loubet left the
Elysee Palace two youths, to satisfy a
craving for momentary notoriety, shouted
'Vive de Roulede!'
They were arrested, but subsequently re-
leased.

defeated everything they have been
up against this season which includes
most all the eastern Indiana high

The game was hard fought from

play at all, so he acted as referee,
while Bulla and A. Hill were laid
