AGAINST A RECEIVER.
Attorney Pillsbury Begins Argument in
Union Iron Works Case.

San Francisco, Aug. 3.-Attorney
Pillsbury began his argument, in the
matter Of the appointment of receiv-
erer for the Union Iron Works, this
morning, before Judge Beatty in the
circuit court. Mr.. Pillsbury represents
the Mercantile Trust Co. Of New York,
the reorganization committee of the
insolvent shipbuilding trust and the
North American Co. He opposed the
appointment of a receiver arguing that
the Union Iron Works must be consid-
cred independent of the shipbuilding
trust in the matter of government con-
tracts.
'In order to complete the vessels now
building" continued Mr. Pillsbury,
especially the Ohio, it would be neces-
sary to borrow a large amount of mon
ey."
This he argued, would be hampered
and not facilitated by the appointment
of a receiver.

FOR A GOLD STANDARD.
Monetary Conference at Mexico City
Favors That Plan.

Mexico City, Aug. 3.-The third sub
committee of the monetary conference
has adopted report which after cit
ing figures regarding the worlds pres
ent stock of gold, says these figures
demonstrate that gold at present is
nominally mot scarce" but tends to
predominant absolutely as the sole
standard and measure of values, silver
being relegated to a subsidiary place.
The report continues: "Our COM
merce is carried on almost exclusively
with gold standard countries, and if we
wish to avoid or mitigate a monetary
and mercantile crisis, it is imperative
that we introduce a monetary reform
that will give stability to our currency"
1t is believed that a gold standard
is likely to be recommended in a modi-
fled form by the entire monetary COM
mission.

WATER BOY WINS
The Great Saratoga Handicap,
With $4,000 Purse.
Hunter Raine, a 20 to | Shot, Very
Easily Finishes Second.
Whitney Horses, Goldsmith and Gunfire,
Also Ran.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug. 3.-The
Saratoga handicap of ST., 900 for 3-year-
ODDS and upwards at mile and
quarter, was run, today. 1t was won
by j. B. Haggin's Water Boy, in the
excellent time of 2.05 3-5. The track
was in perfect condition.
Water Boy and. the Whitney pair,
Goldsmith and Gunfire, opened equal
favorites with 2 1-2 to / and the play
was about equally divided between the
two. Alexander Shields and his friends
waited until the price on Hunter Raine
reached 20 to l and then played him
heavily for place and show.
The horses got off to a perfect start
with Gun1ire, Hemis and Caughnawga
a little in front past the stand. The
horses ran we'll punched until the three
quarters, when Hermis, who had been
leading, fell back beaten.
Water Boy, who was splendidly
handled, took the lead down the
stretch, followed by Hunter Raine, who
had managed to get through from the
rear division. Hunter Raine forced
Water Boy to a mild drive, but the
race was never in doubt. Caughnawga,
against whom as good as 10 to l to
show could be obtained. finished third,
we'll in advance of Heno. Both of the
Whitney pair were well back at the
finish. Hermis dropped back SO fast
that South Thimble trod on his heels at
the turn and fell. The summary:
The Saratoga Handicap, one mile and
a quarter, Water Boy, 10 to and even,
won; Hunter Haine, Is to / and to l,
second; Caughnawga, so to and 20 to
1, third. Time, POS 3-5. Heno, Gun
fire. Goldsmith, Hermis, Injunction,
Africander and Disadvantage also ran.

MEN NOT SATISFIED
With Food on Cutter Onondaga and
New Pay Regulations.

Philadelphia, Aug. 3.-Because of a
dissatisfaction among the sailors in the
crew of the United States revenue cut
ter Onondaga, % of them were paid
oft at their own request upon the ar
rival of the vessel at this port The
Onondaga was on a cruise off the New
England coast. 1t is possible that the
firemen will make a similar demand,
tomorrow. The grievance of the men
was that the food is not up to the
standard, and that under new regu-
lation of the treasury department a
certain sum Of the seamen's monthly
wages was held back. The report that
the dissatisfied men had been put
ashore on Staten Island was denied by
the officers of the Onondaga.
