PHILIPPINE BILL.

Senator A. S. Clay made q strong and
able speech in the senate on Thursday
last in opposition to the pending
Philippine Bill. It was carefully pre-
pared speech, and large crowd gath
cred in the galleries to hear this dis
tinguished Senator. He thought that
when the treaty of Paris was made the
United States ought to haYe insisted
upon the REIMBURSEMENT and not upon
the cession of the islands. Such action
would have enabled the United States
to take proper care of the islands with
out looking to their permanent reten-
ton. He did not contend that they
had won their independence before the
battle of Manila bay. He did not
think the policy the United States was
pursuing in the islands was either right
or just.
Mr.. Clay said that if when the senate
had ratified the peace treaty it had
been declared that the United States
would grant the Filipinos the right of
self-government, peace would have al
ready been restored. He said the
Democratic party never had declared
in favor of leaving the islands before
the establishment of a government.
The Filipinos had right to know the
purposes of the United States were.
Despite that, however, every step we
had taken since the ratification of the
treaty of Paris had been unwise. The
result had been that the United States
had lost thousands of lives and thou
sands of treasure in the Philippines.
The Democratic party was in favor
of carrying out every obligation of the
government in these islands, but a
declaration of purpose on the part of
United States would have prevented
the struggle that has been going on for
three years.
Mr.. Clay declared that while it was
said that the pending bill was tempo
rary in character, it would remain in
force, if enacted, for perhaps a hun
dred years. 1t would remain in force
until repealed, and it would confer
more power upon the Philippine COM
mission than is possessed by the con-
gress of the United States.
No ear, no king, he said, eyer had
been known to exercise such power
over people as was conferred by this
bill upon the Philippine commission.

CRESCEUS FAST ENOUGH
Horsemen Think He Could Reach
the Two-Minute Mark if Prop
erly Conditioned.

Many people have an idea that because
Cresceus has failed to beat 2:O4 this wear
he reached the zenith Of his powers last
season. but some of the men best quail
fed to express an opinion regarding the
champions failure to go faster at Mem
phis, do not think his record of 2:O2A is
his speed limit. When Ed Geers was
asked about it he said: HE has been in
the stud too long and has not had the
training sufficient for the task. I believe
he is the two-minute horse, but he can
not do it without less than nine months
hard training
Budd Doble, after explaining to his
questiOner that record-breaking perform
ances can be accomplished only after
months Of careful and continuous train
ing, said: II am Of the opinion Cresceus
will lower his record, and regard him as
but I predict he will not lower his mark
this season."
John Splan said that lack of proper
conditioning is all that keeps Cresceus
| from trotting in two minutes, and Scott
Hudson declared that if he could have
the horse to train twelve months he would
drive him in two minutes. All these mer
have had long experience in training anc
driving horses, and none Of them Is in
clined to be visionary, in fact they are
all on the conservative order.
Mr.. Ketcham has done wonders with
! Cresceus, but it is to be regretted that he
cannot bring himself to retire the horse
! from the stud one full season, and give
| him the long and careful preparation HI
! should have to enable him to trot a mile
| as fast as his wonderful capacity indicates
| he would go under such conditions.

JOHNSON IS A SURPRISE
Old Time Colored Fighter Gives
George Gardner Hard Run
for His Money.

The defeat Of George Gardner in San
Francisco by Jack johnson, fine colored
heavyweight, was sad blow to George
heavyweight championship aspirations.
After Gardeners defeat Of Jack Root at
Salt Lake City his manager, Aleck Greg
gains thought him good enough to beat
any man in the world. He challenged all
the heavyweights on behalf of his pro-
tege, and failing to induce the big guns
to even consider his challenge, took on
Johnson for a little easy money. Jack,
who had won decisions over Frank Childs,
Hank Griffin, and other not so we'll
known heavyweights, was not given a
to on George went begging.
But my, what a surprise party Jack
turned out to be, and what false favor
tie was Gardner. The press accounts of
the battle say George never had a look
in, that Jack hit him when and where he
pleased, and that he won hands down.
It was a severe setback for Gardner, who,
after his victory over Root, was the &C.
knowledged light heavyweight champion
Of the world.
Johnson is by no means a raw hand at
the game. He Is a rangy black, clever
with his hands and shifty with his feet.
Once Johnson fought a battle with five
colored men at Springfield, Ill. He
dropped the first two men he hit, seeing
which the other three men ran out of the
ring. Jack was in bad financial straits
at that time, and was kept busy hustling
for a bite to eat. He came to Chicago,
half starved, about a month after his
battle royal victory, and went down to
defeat before "Klondike.' The next
Choynski were Jailed for prize fighting at
Galveston, Texas. A match between
Johnson and Billy Madden's black, "Den-
ver' Ed Martin, Is now on tap.

JOHN L. MAKES A HIT
Ex-Prize Fighters Vaudeville Turn De-

John L. Sullivan is making great hit
in monologues according to the eastern
papers. The New York Journal says that
Sullivan's methods Of delivering Mono
logue are such as could be followed with
profit by many far older in the business
than he. In the first place, he makes it
his especial care that every one in the
hall shall hear him. There is no num-

His voice, which Is one a De Reszke

The ex-prize fighter is not intimidated
by his audience. He walks right down the
center Of the stage to the fotlights. leans
over at as much of an angle as his en-
bonpoint will permit Then he talks.
He is not theatrical. He has none of
the airs of the gentlemen who precede him.
He simply explains that he has come to
see what he can do with monologue.
The audience is also there for that pur-
pose, but nobody says so. What would
happen If some one chose to interrupt the

lated, even theoretically. It is not likely

WINTER SEASON OPENS
New Orleans and San Francisco Rivals
for RACING Favor.

Rivalry between New Orleans and San
Francisco promises to give winter racing
more spirit and tone than it has had In
the past. The California meeting will
probably have about the same class it has
shown in recent years, but the New Or
leans meeting shows signs Of an improve
ment.
Last year the California Jockey Club
which has absolute control of racing on
the Pacific coast, offered guaranteed
stakes, while the Crescent. City Jockey
Cub gave added money. Guaranteed
stakes, in which owners are compelled to
pay big part of the purses, did not make
hit with many turfmen, who have
shifted their allegiance to the southern
| ira ok.
H. The experience has taught the Califor-
mia managers that their style Of doing
business was not for the good of the turf
and the club will give added money in
most of the feature events for the coming
season, Racing in California began to-
day, while New Orleans will not open un-
til Thanksgiving Day. ~
Both tracks have increased their purses
for the coming season. Neither will give
a purse less than $500 during the winter.
New Orleans will give no handicap less
than $500 and California advertises handi-
caps worth from $500 to $1,000 added. The
twenty -one stakes at New Orleans will be
worth $24,75O in added money, while the
) California stakes will be worth $47,500.

JIMMIE BRITT THE DUDE

San Francisco, on the Goth Of this

Britt is known to Frisco fght-goers as
1.-THE dude,' because he dresses well and
wears exttavagantly long hair. On many
occasions he has proven that he Is dude
only in appearance.
Jimmie Britt's father Is an ex-super-
visor, a contracting plumber, and, through
mic is the second fighter Of note in the
family. Billy, his elder brother; held the
amateur featherweight championship of

young James grew up and outclassed

Britt became a lightweight and disposed

amusement two or three years ago was

AUTOMOBILE IS D0PED
Crookedness Develops in the Races
at Detroit-First Scandal
in the Sport.

Crookedness has developed in automo
bile racing. When Alex Winton, the
Cleveland autom obilist, returned home
from Detroit where he'lost In the big au-
tomobile races held on the Crosse Point
track, he had his experts examine the
machine. He suspected after the race that
his machine had been tempered with.
The result Of the investigation leads
to the first scandal in connection with
automobile racing for this country, and
the affair will probably be investigated
by the National Racing organization. The
expert discovered that the bushing on the
sparker can had been tempered with so
that it would not work right when high
speed was wanted.
Winton asserts that on the night before
the race, on the statement of the race
committee, that Waterman would be in
charge, he did not make any special pro-
visions for the protection Of his machine
and it was stabbed. In the morning the
famous automobilist was ill and did not
discover that the machine was not work.

The greatest improvement in baseball
has been in the throwing to second base
by the catchers, says Tim Murnane. With
the pitchers working properly even the
best baserunner has not one chance in
five of making the steal in the major
leagues, and this Is made stronger when
such players as Long, Wallace, Davis, Pad
den, Lajoie and other crackerjack inf1eld-
ers handle the throw
Herman Long is to-day the greatest man
in the business for handling a thrown ball
and putting it on the runner. He is a sure
catch with either hand, and actually makes
time after taking the ball. I think that
Hugh Jennings, while with Baltimore, was
the finest in the business for handling a
thrown ball on the run and getting his
man at second. It was impossible to draw
Jennings away from his position, as he
never started for the base until he was
sure the ball was not to be hit
It was usually close thing at second
but the baserunner was sure to slack up
while the fielder came across under full
head of steam and in a most phenomenal
way swung the ball onto his man as he
went by. There is nothing to-day In the
game to compare with the work of Jen.
