WILL TOUR UNITED STATES
English Jockey Loates Will Visit
Noted Race Tracks.

New York, Jan. THE English Jockey,
Samuel Loates, proposes to cross the
continent and visit the principal cities
of the United States. He viii start west
in a week or ten days with San Fran
cisco as his destination. In California
he will attend the races at Oakland and
breeding establishments on the Pacific
coast. Returning he will visit southern
California, New Orleans and Florida
and will sail for home about March l.
Speaking last night of the Tod Sloan
incident, Loates said:
IF Sloan assented to Mr. Gardner's
proposition to lay him $4,000 to nothing
the Jockey club probably considers that
a violation of the rules. although he
did not get the money 1t looks to me
as if he was let off easily, with view
to giving him a chance to ride in other
countries He will be foolish if he seeks
a license in England next year, for the
Jockey club never tells what it has
against anybody and never retracts and
he will surely be turned down.
''As his case. stands now it appears
that the Jockey club simply says it does
not want him and at the same time does
not present any obstacle to his employ
ment elsewhere. 1t might be more sta

Races are run differently from what
they We're before the Americans came
over. Formerly only the big handicaps
were run at top speed from the start.
Now nearly all the races are run all the
way at top speed We still believe in
trying horses against each other instead
OF against the watch, although some
trainers and the Americans generally
are making use of the watch. Higgins
is using horses more than he formerly
did. don't believe the watch reliable.

TO INDTCT PATRICK.
On the Statement of millionaire Rice's
Valet.

New York, Jan.7-Although Albert IT
Patrick has not been indicted In con
nection with the death of William
Marsh Rice, the eccentric millionaire
whose estate is involved in contest, his
lawyers are actively preparing to de-
fend him against the charge of murder,
on which he has been locked up in the
Tombs since last September.
Marx E. Hardy, who is looking after
Patrick's interests in the civil contest
over the Rice millions. said last night
that he had just sent a letter to AS
sistant District Attorney James w Os-
borne, which may have an interesting
bearing on the case
1t is assumed by Patrick's friends
that when the district attorney decides
to lay the case before the grand jury
effort to indict Patrick for the muir
der of Rice viii be made on the state
ment of the late mllliOnaire'S valet.
Charles F. Jones, that he saw Patrick
holding towel over Rice's face a short
time before the millionaire died
Mr. Hardy said that he had been con-
suited by a. person whose testimony the
assistant district attorney desired to OBJ
tain, and that he had written to Mr. Os-
borne in connection with that matter.
Il told Mr.. Osborne" Mr.. Hardy said
last night, that when the time came we
would be prepared to diSproVe the state
ments of the valet (Jones) by these re-
putable witnesses We have three wit
nesses by whom we can prove concur
sively that Mr. Patrick was not in Mr.
Rice's apartments at the time Jones
says he looked into the old gentleTaan's 5
room and saw Patrick STOPPING over
Rice and holding a towel across his
face
These witnesses will prove a com
plete alibi for Mr. Patrick. They viii
prove that he not only WAS not IN Mr..
Rice's apartments at that time, but they
viii show exactly where they saw him
at the time indicated by Jones"
Mr. Hardy said he had as yet received
no reply from Mr. Osborne, although he
seemed not to be surprised at that fact.
He insisted that his client would be vim
dicated when the case came up for set
tlement.

and the mayor is not likely to change
his mind. He does not care for two
years more of work and worry as the
executive of the city.
Mayor Drew made this final state-

him Saturday. The committee was the
result Of a meeting of prominent tenn

Drew was unanimously endorsed Tor rec

by the statement that under no circum-

election.
This determination Of Mayor Drew
not to be a candidate for reelection is
not the result Of a sudden impulse. Tn

WANT SUBMARINE BOATS.
Advocates of the Holland Working to
Have Twenty More Purchased.


New York, Jan. IA special to the
Herald from Washington, says:
Notwithstanding the adverse report
made by the board of construction, ad-
vocates of the Holland submarine boat
will make a strong effort to attach an
bill authorizing 20 additional vessels OF
this type.
France now has five submarine boats
in service. Eight were authorized IN
1899 and two last May, and the budget
for 1901 calls for eight more, making a
total of q. The United States has one
in commission and seven under cor
struction. sufficient, in the opinion OF
the board, for experimental purposes
and to demonstrate what their value
will be for war purposes.
In England the admiralty continues to
oppose submarine boats and is making
no experiments, though it is reported
that some are contemplated. Spain has
laid up the Peral, a submarine boat
with which numerous experiments have
been made without altogether satlsfac-
tory results. Russia, Italy and Japan
are watching the work of other nations
in the submarine field. The subject is
being studied in Germany, where one
boat is being constructed for expert
ment. The United States and France
are the only powers which are building
submarine boat fleets.
Hearings will be given by the senate
and house naval committees in regard
to the s-incerase of the navy to be vo-
ted at this session, and the men inter-
ested in the Holland boat will ask Off
Hollands performances to appear and
give their views. The department will
urge that if congress determine to auth
orize additional submarine boats all in
ventors be given an opportunity TO en-

Washington, Jan. THE navy de-

citizens of Seattle have pledged them
selves to raise q. funnd of 100000 to be
paid to Moran Bros, the local ship
building concern, to enable them to ac-
cept the proposal of the navy depart
ment to build a battleship at the figure
named in the act of congress. To COM
ply with the departments require
nents, the Morans must reduce their
bid 100000, 50 that even with this bonus
of $4,000 the net reduction must be
100000. Nothing has been heard pos
itively from the other bidders to whom
similar proposals were addressed by the
department, but it is very much doubt
ed that they viii be able to accept. In
that case q change in plans and read
vertisement will follow to reduce the
cost of the ships, involving the sacrifice
of about 500 tons displacement.
