 The legislature accordingly author ized each county to form a partnership with every show that came within its borders. Tn view of the fact that ths show was expected to furnish the lions, the tigers. the hippopotami the bovai- apuses. the veri vlacks, the horses. the riders. the acrobats. male and female. and all other adjuncts, beside the ten;s' center pole and to pay the expenses. tf" legislature generously decreed that the proprietors should have 95 per cent of the gross receipts and the county per cent. This is nowhere an equal divl- sion, but then the county was to be a; no expense at all except for extra dep- uties to watch the ticket sellers to scs that they should not fudge. The coun- tvs capital was the privilege of letting the show set up it's tents.
 From what had been cursorily learn ed of attendance at previous shows i' was thought that Maricopa. county $ share of yesterdays proceeds would bc not less than $500, and maybe $500. The afternoon performance netted s6. and the evenings S19. It is still a mat ter of conjecture how many people pl- tronized the show. There were perhaps 200 complimentary tickets. on which tai county lost from 8 to S10. The paid | tickets were, some 50 cents and some z cents. Supposing that they were abou equally divided between full and hal tickets and making allowance for re- served seat tickets and other sources o rev enue. there were considerably les! than 5000 people present at both per formances. or about 2500 at the after

Washington. Sept. 2S.-In the Schley investigation today Nr. Raynor said that Schley wanted to prove three things These were: First-that the blockade as maintained by Commodore Schley was the same. so far as dis tances were concerned, as that main- tanned by Admiral Sampson: second the failure to engage the Colon furt her on May 31 was in the line of Sampson's policy. as developed after ms arrival oi June l, when the Colon was still in sight; third-that the Brooklyn had her place in the line of blockade as signed by Sampson when the Spanish fleet came out on July 3rd.
 Having made this presentation. Mir. Raynor withdrew. and Judge Wilson said the subject would be brought up when there were witnesses on the stand who could testify to the facts.

NOT A GAMBLER.
Duke of Manchester's Failure Due

Duke of Manchester's Failure Due
to Unfortunate Theatrical Specu-
lntions.
LONDON, June 28.-The Duke of
Manchester made to-day what he hopes
will be his last appearance in the bank
ruptcy court, as his creditors formally
accepted the compromise of Us Cd on
the pound. Although the accounts
showed that the unsecured debts
amounted to E30,710, the trustees sub
mited that this sum could be scaled
down to s19,794, with assets amount
ing to $4,000.
During the course Of his final exam
ination to-day the Duke of Manchester
reiterated that his failure was due to
the loss of several thousands of pounds
in theatrical speculations and said he
had not gambled.
Miss Portia knight, the American &C
tress who has brought suit against the
Duke of Manchester for breach of prom
Use, had lawyers present at the Duke s
examination to-day, but they were not
permitted to question the debtor, and,
consequently, they were unable to OBJ
tain information of much value to their
client.
