MIR. wHITNEY's REAsoHs.
He Will Withdraw Race Horses from
 England.

New York, Sept. 3O.-William c. Whit ney has written letter which will ap- pear in The Tribune tomorrow giving his reasons for deciling to leave the English turf and race his horses hereafter al most exclusively upon American tracks. He says in part
 sThe dominating reason for withdraw ing my stable from England is the sue cess of the efforts of late years to raise the standard of racing in this country.
 ''The sending of our best horses abroad depreciates the quality of the sport at home and diverts needed revenue which should be contributed to enrich our own stakes and encourage breeding here. I make an exception in my own mind of the case in which one has an eligible horse that may win one of the classic races ike the Derby. the Oaks or the St. Ieser. 1t Is not at all unlikely that l may be found trying for one of these
 Mir Whitney then denies that his with drr wal was in the least caused by dis s~ .,sfaction at the treatment his horses Se, eived on the English turf. He says that as a mark of appreciation of the courtesy he has received and also as an exnression of his esteem for Lord VII liam Beresford he has asked the stew ards of the Jockey Club to place with some benevolent fund the 16,OOO pounds he won as a stake incident to the Derby.

DEPREND NOT BELIEVED
ATTACK UPON SOLDIER AT THE
 GRAVE DISCREDITED.
Captain Riddle Thinks the Sentinel Was Nervous and Deceived Himself-Other Officers
 Believe the Story.

2 Canton. O., Sept. 3o.-The officers and men of Company c of the 14th United States Infantry .on duty at Westlawn President McKiafsy, s worked diligently today investigating the strange story in which Private Deprend, who was on duty at the top of the vault Sunday night, fig imposed by military regulations, which prevented the officers and men from mak- ing detailed statements concerning the in-
 The representative of the Associated Press saw all of the commissioned off, cers, several non-commissioned officers and number of privates aud gieaned
 All the commissioned officers and the members of the company in general ac- cepted fully the story related by Private peprend last night, and really believe with no good purpose. Today only two of the commissioned officers adhered to belief that an attempt had been made upon the sentinel for ghoulish purposes. prompted by the pure cussedness of some people who thought to bring re- proach. upon the nation by doing damage to the resting place of the dead Presi- dent"
 All the men who were seen expressed the belief that Private Deprend acted in good faith and that he related only what he believed to be the real circumstances. With the Captain and others he went over the details of the whole affair at least a dozen times and it is said never varied in a matter of importance. Par ticular inquiry was made as to his sobri- ety at the time. and it is said that 1t Is established beyond all reasonable doubt that he had not been drinking and that he was in his normal condition. The most common belief Is that the sentinel was oyerwrought by the loneliness of his po- sition. that his nerves were overtaxed and that imagination contributed some of the details related in good faith. The post was regarded by all as especially isolated and depressing to the man guard ing it at night and 1t Is understood that more sentinels win be stationed at the point in the future.
 Captain Riddle authorized this state inent: T think the sentinel deceived him self on the occurrence. I do not think an actual attack as related by him oc- cured. When daylight came there was no evidencve found of a struggle"
 Sergeant Cook. who was reported to have heard remarks Sunday afternoon among visitors. explained today that he has no suspicion that any of these men would have any interest in or would sympathize with any act of violence.

THE TURF CONGRESS.
Opposition to New Orleans Meeting
 Discussed.

St. LouisP Sept. SO.-The American Turf Congress held a meeting at the fair grounds today. The horsemen who were outlawed for racing at Kinloch were re- instated. and the question of holding a winter meeting in opposition to the West ern Jockey Club meeting at New Orleans was discussed after which the congress adjourned subject to the call of the president. By the time the meeting is again called 1t is claimed in we'll inform meeting in opposition to New Orleans enterprise, as it is said troubles which have ext. ted Ill the year are well on their way to a .inal adjustment. Gen erai confidence in this opinion deprived the meeting of much interest it would have attracted had 1t been supposed propositions for 8 further active war against the Western Jockey Club would be made.
 Today's iscussiors wire probably de- signed to be preparatory to night in case the developments in the situation should make one necessary.
