there IS no doubt TO which IS the mora popular
Jockey at the present time. EIldebrand IS having
his vogue. all the other well known jockeys have
had their day, and the lImeIight IS turned full
upon him now that the others can scarcely be made
out in the shadows. There are patrons OF the turf
who have questioned the wisdom Of the Jockey

hysterical elation TO the two races-the Suburban.

When the gates OF little old Brighton opened
for the annual midsummer meeting a week from
Wednesday the patrons OF the oldest of NETWORKS
racing associations will find many changes which
they doubt will appreciate. The brick terrace
which slopes away from the grandstand to the
track side has been extended to three times its
length running clear to the field Enclosure. This
slope is graded throughout its entire length that
from any part Of it perfect view Of every part OF
a race may be had. The betting pavilion has been
moved back eighty feet. and wide spreading roof
built the walk connecting it with the grand
stand. The field stand has been raised and ex-
tended until its seating capacity is about twice
as great formerly. The grandstand terrace does
not end the field Enclosure. but extends along
the entire length Of the field stand. that here,
too the patrons of the may have an I'M

GRANT CORRECTS
REPORTED SPEECH
General Declares Himself Misun-
derstood Has Warmest Ad-
miration for President.

Chicago, March 19.-General Fred
D. Grant has published the following
signed statement regarding the part
he took in the Irish Fellowship clubs
banquet: d
I am extremely disgusted. and annoyed
at the statement made with reference to
my remarks at the banquet last night.
I had been invited to attend and to
speak at the Irish Fellowship club in cele-
bration Of st. Patricks day, and had ac-
cepted the invitation, but requested that
I would not be called upoa fora speech. I
had understood thatrI would not be asked
to respond to any stated toast and had
therefore gone to the banquet without any
preparation to talk on any subject.
After arriving there I found that they
had assigned me to respond to the toast,
The President of the United States,'' and
when arose I attempted to give an ex-
cuse for not talking on the subject. My
excuses were that was not permitted by
the regulations to discuss the president
or other civil officers, and reminded them
Of the disaster that had befallen some Of
hcers who had come from the Philippines.
Another was that did not know any thing
about the presidency. meaning thereby
that I had not studied up the usual pla-
titudes given to the office; and third, that
I was no orator. \
I am particularly chagrined at the way
the report is put in the paper, which
would draw the inference that referred
to the present president, for whom have
the warmest admiration, and with whom
have had a most agreeable personal ac-
| quaintance. His kind and thoughtful con-
slderation upon the occasion of the death
and burial of my mother has given me q
personal attachment for him which will
never grow less, and anything that would
| be said to indicate that was not his
warmest and most devoted admirer would
do a wrong to my personal feelings fo1

REFERS NEGROES
CLAIMS TO COURT
House Committee Refuses to Can
vass Legality of South Car
olina Constitution,

Washington, March 19.-Dantzler,
the colored man who contested the
election Of A. r. Lever as represent
ative from the seventh South Caro-
lima district, has failed to convince the
house committee.
The basis Of Dantzler's claim was
that the constitution of South Caro-
lima, adopted in 1895, was. contrary
to the reconstruction act Of June 28,
1868, readmitt1ng South Carolina and
other states to representation In con-
gress, which contained no provision
as to educational and property quail
fications as provided in the present
state constitution and laws passed un-
der it.
He averred that if certain citizens
Of his district had been allowed to
vote under the provisions of the act of
1868 he would have been elected. The
report of the committee passes over
this claim by declaring it to be plain
that Dantzler was not elected. Con-
tinufng, the report says:
However desirable it may be for a leg
islative body to retain control Of the de-
cts1on as to the election and qualification
of its members, it is quite certain that a
legislative body is not the ideal body tc
pass judicfally upon the constitutiona,lity
of the enactments Of other bodies. We
have In this country proper forum fol
the decision Of constitutional and other ju.
dicial questions.
If any citizen Of South Carolina who was
entitled to vote under the constitution Of
1868 is now deprived by the provisions OF
the present constitution from voting he
has the right to tender himself for regis.
tration and for voting and, in case hi.
right is denied, to bring suit in the proper
court for the purpose Of enforcing his right
and recover damage for it's denial Sucl
case can be carried by him, if necessary

International Mercantile Agency Pre-

and in Some Other Leading Lines.

New York, March 19.-Special trade ad-
vices from correspondents of the Inter-
national Mercantile Agency thruout the
United States chronicle Interruptions and
changes incidental to breaking from snow
storms into a semb1ance of spring weather
and the usual seasons increase Of labor
disturbances. The latter despite their
seriousness at New York are offset by the
conservative action Of 100000 soft coal
miners who have decided to accept a re-
duction in wages.
Prices for wheat and cotton dropped fur
ther than many bears expected. Over a
considerable period wheat should range
relatively high on 50,000,000 bushels de-
cline in domestic visible and invisible sup
plies within three years. The long pre-
dicted freer movement Of cotton from the
interior with growing short sentiment has
had the natural effect.
The unusual accumulation Of funds at
New York by which banks are strength
ened against the day Of Panama's settle
European centers Is due in part to checked
demand for mercantile accomm odation
In Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Chicago and
ST. Louis there IS slackening in demand

ton banks report no such check. Except
at Chicago among those cities, railway
shipping facilities have improved vastly
since last week. but Pittsburg reports
many cars needed which have been sent

madam points.
