was introduced by Mr.. Carmichael and
Mr.. Culver.
The Hunt Club has seen an imitation
to Gen. GartrY a famous fox hunter
of Kentucky to become its guest soon.
The general is now in Lowndes county
with his pack of hounds terroriZing the
foxes there. If he accepts IL is eX-
Dected that he will bring his hounds
to Savannah, and a test will be made
of the speed of the Georgia and Ken
lucky dogs.
Mr.. Carl Sloat OF Clinch county. who
has been entertaining Mr.. Joel Hurt
and party of Atlanta, with FOX hunt
throughout that section. has sent an
invitation to the Chatham Hunt Club
to become his guests at such time as
the club may name; 10 carry down the

CHAMPION PIGEON SHOT.
The Title Won by DIR. #. C. Wilson
in New York Last Week.

DIR. F. c. Wilson of Savannah is now
the champion amateur live bird shot
of the United States. He won the title
in New York Friday, when at a shoot
given by the Carteret Gun Club of that
city he killed ninety-six birds out of
a possible hundred. This beats by one
bird DR.. Wilson's record made in this
city in December, when in a match
with Mr.. II. M. Ciapp of Thomasville,
he killed ninety-five birds, missed two.
and lost three because they died out
of bounds.
1t is not known what kind of birds
were used in the last match, but in
the shoot that took place here, the
birds were all selected, fast flyers. Mr.
Clapp stated at the time that he didn't
believe DR.. Wilson could duplicate the
feat
In the second match that Dr.. Wilson
shot with Mr.. Clapp-a match that he
won also-Mr. Finletter of Philadelphia
also, one of the best live bird shots in
the country, was present, and there was
some talk of arranging a match be-
tween him and DR.. Wilson. Nothing
came of it at the time, it being under
stood that Mr.. Finletter did not care
to shoot such a match on the local
grounds. but now that DR.. Wilson is
in the North, ii is not impossible that
such a race may be made.
Those who have seen DR.. Wilson
shoot or are at all familiar with his
record. nave no fear of the result of
the matches that he may shoot.

Washington, Feb. 22.-When the
Senate reconvened at o'clock
tonight not dozen senators
appeared on the floor. Mr.. Pr1tchard
of North Carolina made a brief ad-
dress in support of the Philippine bill.
He referred particularly to the advan-
tage the Philippines would be to the

part:
II have examined with great care

goods to the Philippine Islands from
all countries, both manufa ctured and

months ending June, 1901.

of cotton and cotton goods to those ISL
ands for the period named amounted
to $9,510,307. OF this total the United
States furnished the small amount Of
1927 1926. These figures are surprising,
but true. Those islands imported 3d.
3S2,9S2 worth of cotton and cotton
goods from countries other than the
United States in 1901. Is it not reason
able to suppose that when our COM
merce with those islands is firmly es-
tablished, as it will surely be at an
early day, that the South will furnish
the greater part of this SO, 1892, 9S2 worth
of cotton and cotton goods that has
heretofore been furnished by other
countries?"
Mr. Fairbanks Of Indiana followed in
an hours address in support of the
Philippine bill. At 9:40 p. M, the Sem

Fresh Attack on Reynard.

The Chatham Hunt Club abandoned
its regular meets several weeks ago
owing TO unfavorable conditions for
hunting foxes in Chatham county, and
notices were sent cut by Master of

that as soon as the fields were suitable

largely attended and were thoroughly
enjoyed. They were conducted by Mr..
Carmichael, Mr.. Culver and Mr.. Neal.
Each time fox was caught. A party
q virEinians attended one of the
meets. They came from the hunting
grounds Of the famous Lynchburg Hunt
Club and were delighted with the
chase. They admired the Chatham
foxes for the sweeping pace which they
set and the Chatham hounds for their
speed in following the trail.

LITTLE MONEY WAS BET.
But savannahians Kept an Eye on
Louisville Fight.

Not since the fight between McGov-
ern and Young Corbett has there been
the interest shown that was displayed
in the McGovern and Sullivan bout in
Louisville last night. It is true that
there was, little il any money at
stake, chiefly because no one wanted
to put up on Sullivan, nevertheless all
those that follow the pugilistic game
were interested and from the hour
set for the beginning of the match
until the result had been announced
the telephones OF the Morning News
office were kept busy answering quer-
les as to the outcome OF the match.

The news of the two matches came
as q distinct surprise to Savannah as
friends of the teams had counted on
the Savannahians winning at least one
OF the matches, the bowling contest be-
ing considered the most likely. 1t is
not improbable that the Savannah
bowlers were rather handicapped in
playing on q strange alley for the first
time, as the scores of none of the play
ers are anywhere near what they are
accustomed to make on the local
alleys.
The Savannah Golf Team was de
hghtfully entertained during its stay
here. Upon its arrival here in the
morning the teams were met at the
depot by members of the Country
Club, who took them in charge, and
the party went out to the Country
Club house, in Fairfield. The day
was raw and cloudy, but in the COSY
club house big fires had been built and
the club house was warm and com
Portable. In the morning the visit
ing golfers were given a chance TO

visitors were the guests of honor. The
luncheon was served in the new tea
room, which has been recently added

AMERICANS WIN
FIRST POLO MATCH
Enormous Crowd, including Many
Ladies, See the Englishmen De-
feated by Men Under keene.

London, May 31-The first polo match
for the American cup was played at
Hurlingham today and was won by the
Americans by two goals to s-one. An. .enor-
nous crowd, including many ladies were
present. Joseph H. Choate, the United
States ambassador; Henry White, the
secretary, and the other members of the
game. ~
The contest opened well for the Ameri-
cans. L. Waterbury shot a goal in the
first five minutes and was much applaud
ed by the American section. When the
goals were changed the Englishmen
seemed to have matters their own way
and kept the ball continuously near the
American goal until A. L. Aggisiz made
a splendid run-the whole length of the
field-riding Charles d. Miller of the
English team off and opened the way for
Foxhall Keene, the American captain,
who with a fine long shot scored another
goal.
In the third period England shot a goal
but it was disallowed on the ground of
foul.
In the fourth period England shot an
other goal, but 1t also was disallowed on
account of a foul. The fourth period
closed In favor of America, with every
chance of her winning
In the fifth period the play was rather
slow, but the game seemed a certainty
for the Americans If they continued to
play as they had been playing.
In the sixth period, after rather close
ugh-and-tumble, Cecil Nickalls hit a
goal for England

combination, ponies as good as those of

EDWARD HAS TILT
WITH SALISBURY
ENGLAND'S KING AND HIS PRIME
MINISTER SCARCELY SPEAK
NOW AND SALISBURY DOES NOT
ATTEND BANQUET.

London, May 31.-Those In touch of
royal circles are gossping about the re-
ported tiff between Lord Salisbury and
King Edward. which is said to have aris-
en- on account of the Kings demand
that the King recommend Sir Ernest
Cassel for peerage. Last year the same
request met with a refusal This year
it was urged by the King on the ground
of Sir Ernests munificent gift OF E2Oo'-
900 toward the cure of consumption. The
Premier absolutely refused to eoun-
tenance the suggestion, and at the end
of a stormy interview, which occurred
the day the state dinner was held at
Buckingham Palace, Lord Salisbury re-
marked:
"Well, sir, I suppose had better leave
my place at tonight's banquet?" To which
the King is said to have replied: Eyes,
I think you had and stalked out of the
room. Since then, according to court gos-
sip, King Edward and his prime minister
have scarcely been on speaking terms.
Another incident which is causing con-
siderable commotion in royal circles Is the
disagreem ent between King Edward and
the Duchess of Buccleuch, u member of
the old style, exclusive aristocracy. who
has not countenanced the so-called smart
set
The King was to dine with the Duke
and Duchess of Buccleuch and intimated
his desire that lady of his surrounding
be invited. This is usually tantamount
to command but the Duchess of Buc-
cluch, nothing daunted, refused to ask
the Kings friend to make one of the dim
ner party. His Majesty was furious and
threatened to cancel his promise to dine
with the Buccleuchs, whercat the Ouch
ess of Buccleuch retorted that she was
quite willing to send in her resignation as
Mistress of the Robes to Queen Alexan-
dra.
Later on in the day the King thought
better of 1t. informed the Buccleuchs that
he accepted the exclusion of his fayorite
and forbade the Duchess to resign.
Many members of the nobility, especial
ly old country families make no secret
of their disapproval Of various events of
the Kings social life.
