RACING AT CHARTER OAK.
Von Voyage and Miss Adbell Take the
 Hartford Futurity Races.

Hartford, Sept S.-There has sel- dom been a better days sport in the history of Charter Oak park than was offered yesterday afternoon. The pro- gram was long and 1t was finished be- fore nightfall, in spite of the splitting up of the heats in two of the events. It was not good day for favorites, the calculations being upset in three of the five races, and in one of the Oth- CTS two heats were won before the fa- yorife came to the front.
 va Although the track was not fast. good time was made, for the winners usually had to step lively to keep out of the way of the horses behind them. Remarkably good was the time fin the trotting division of the Hartford Flu turity, for foals of 1902 YOn Voyage. who was the champion two-year-old last year. was hardly expected to win 1t. The Phantom being the favorite af- ter Miss wilks's Katherine L. had been withdrawn William A. Clark. jr, son of Senator Clark of Montana the owner of Won Voyage. was an in terested witness of his horses fine per formance.
 Jack Leyburn met with an accident. the shaft of his sulky breaking in the backstretch, but the judges declared him distanced in the first heat.
 Harrison Wilkes was expected to win the first race of the day. the 2:12 trot. but he caused his packers a good deal of uneasiness fin the first TWO heats.
 The pacing division of the Futurity was Miss AdbelI's by common consent and the time was not fast for her. She was not forced out As there was only one other horse left at the finish the Ally took first and third money. The SJOO set aside for the nominator of the dam of the winner of the trot- ting Futurfty goes to Charles Marvin. the well known breeder.
 Geers was expected to take the Nut meg trot with Hurley. that horse being a strong favorite in the betting. Kid Shay had it easily from the first. De Ryder was substituted by the judges for Hayden behind Roberts before the fifth heat of the PIP trot. The change made no difference. That race was re- markable in that all of the field of seven horses stayed in till the finish. and in most of the beats the horses came to the wire well punched. Tne s-umarfoS-

HERMAN BEAT MowArr.

Kid Herman, the clever Chicago box CT, showed his mettle by defeating Tommy Mowatt, also of the Windy city, in fifteen round bout at Grand Rapids, Mich, on Wednesday night The go went the limit and Herman got the verdict on points. Up to the sixth round 1t was an even break, but after that Herman had things his own way. He sailed after his opponent in the seventh round and smashed Mowatt with a good deal of effect about the body. Mowatt was very much cut up about the face and mouth. His game ness provoked lot of favorable com ment. There were only two knock downs. These occurred in the fifth round, both sides scoring.

and Harry Lewis put up red hot draw here last night that pleased a big crowd of sports. Erne was the faster of the two, but Lewis had the some strength in his punches. In the first two rounds Erne was the aggressor and cut a fast clip, but Lewis carried the battle in the next three rounds and more than held his own in the slug ging. The final round again saw Erne the best and this entitled him to a draw.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. S-With hundreds of sportsmen arriving daily to see the fight Saturday afternoon at Colma between Jimmy Britt and Bat ting Nelson, a referee had not been decided on up to last night. It is thought that James Jeffries will be referee in spite of the objections rais- ed by Nolan, Nelson's manager.
 Jenries telegraphed to Manager Cof- froth last night asking if he was ex- pected to referee and Coffroth replied in the affirmative.
 ssThen I shall be fin San Francisco Thursday night" replied Jenries. When he is on the ground and the managers of the fighters can come to- gether with Coffroth and Jeffries. 1t is the opinion of the best posted sport ing men that an agreement will be reached without much barley.
 The sale of seats goes on at a live Iy rate. There are hundreds of men from cities far and near already on fhe scene. There will be a large gath erinx of sporting writers and sporting authorities from all over the United States at the ringslde.
 Prftt and Nelson today finished their hard training. They have reach ed the stage where the question ot weight DO longer is an element in training and all attention is paid to keeping son edge until the gong sum mons them to the fray. Both men are in excellent condition.
 Manager Conroth has already taken in S45.OOO for seats and asserts that when the ment enter the ring Satur' dav afternoon the prize for which they will contest will amount to SIo.ou. a record amount for ring contests-

SEVENTEEN INNING GAME.


 Bridgeport, Sept S.-Hartford and Bridgeport battled for IT innings in the first game of double-header yes terday, the longest game on Newfield park this season, which was finally won by the locals. Both sides started in playing loosely ana making errors, but the game settled down to bril- liant contest. The star play of the day was by Moves, in the 14th inning. Yale had reached third base on a two bagger and a sacrifice. Ladd stepped to the plate and sent a foul close to third base. Moves made jump for 1t and the ball stuck in his hand. Af- ter the fourth inning it was a battle of pitchers with honors even. In the 17th Moves made a bad throw Of Coughlin's grounder, which gave the Bridgeport pitcher a life. ORourke, jr, sacrificed him to second and Yale drove the ball over Gastmeyer's head for two bases and Coughlin came in with the winning run. Only five in- nings were played of the second game as the visitors were obliged to catch train for home. Neither side scored The scores:

WEALTH IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Upon some of the islands in the
Philippines the forests are more val
liable and more extensive than those
of India. There is found the mana

the queen of the woods), but the Ian
forty million acres of timber in the
islands. and they contain Cos different
varieties. The forest products. be-
sides woods useful for house and ship
building, cabinet work and other eco
nomic and artistic purposes, comprise
large variety of gum producing trees
timber will remain untouched until
railroads are built and American cap
ital is invested and American energy
is induced to work in the Philippines.
This should not be long delayed for
there is now imported into the Unit.
ed States at best 100000 worth of
all of which can be obtained from the
forests of the Philippines.
There are well known deposits of
gold, copper and other metals in the
islands. Those who have visited them
for the purpose of developing the min
eral resources say that with slight
changes in the mining laws people
can afford to prospect and open up
the mineral deposits. Coal has been
found in great quantities and but await
the amendments of the law and the
introduction of proper transportation
methods to be developed. The island
of Batan is spoken of as "a solid mass
OF COAL 1t is said by experts, who
have tested it, that the coal from sew
eral deposits do not clinker and the
coal from some deposits will coke.

The production of gold and silve<
for the calendar yea: 1904 exceeds
that of the previous year by $7,131.OO
gold and 3,4S6,OOO fine ounces of sill
YER. The larges: gain in gold was
made by California, which yielded
about 100000 more than in the pre-
vious year, the output being larger than
in any year since the sixties, the gain
being due to dredging operations, and
which is likely to increase for some
years to come. Montana makes gain
of 100000 ounces of silver and leads
all competitors in the annual product
the figures being 146OS,1OO fine oun-
ces. Colorado comes next with A.
331 900. That state also leads in gold
production. it's value being placed at
$24,397 800. California is second with
$19, Jos, 900. The output of Alaska gold
is given at $9,SO4,2OO, while that of
Montana is $5,O97,SOO. Twenty-one
states of the union produced gold and
silver last year.

GaynOr and Greene are safely lodged
in Jail at Savannah, Georgia, after a
protracted fight against extradition
from Canada. In connection with Cap
tain Oberlin NJ. Carter, who was con-
victed and who has served a prison
sentence, they were charged with de-
frauding the government while hold
ing contracts for improving the har-
Dor at Savannah. Fleeing to Canada
and the resistance offered to extradi-
ton is an evidence of guilt and they
are now likely to get a prison SEN
tence on top of their self-exilement
Had they pleaded guilty or stood trial
they would, in all likelihood, have been
free men now. One thing is evident,
and that is that the extradition laws
of Canada are hedged about with too
many technicalities. They could be
simplified with perfect safety.

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see the lie.
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
o morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praise sing to God the KING,
And peace to men on eartn.
How silently, how silently
The wOndrous gift is given!
So God .mparts to human hear's
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive MN
still,
The dear Christ enters in.
o holy child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter H.
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas ans1is
The great glad tidings ten'
Oh, come to us, abide with u.s.

IN THE SWEET BYE AND BYE.

1t is evident President Hill, of the
Great Northern. does not entertain a
very warm feeling for Montana. At
least he does not appear to think that
the state offers many inducements
for branch railroads. or feeders.
He was rendered a banquet at Bill.

the things which the representative
men of Billings were most eager to
hear. After he had closed. general
discussion of topics followed. 1t was
then that Mr.. O'Donnell, in speaking
of the supporting influence that the
Yellowstone valley was to Billings,
said that the people had been afraid
that the cutting off of the Judith ba-
sin by the Montana railroad was CO.
ing to ruin the town, but when it was
lost they had awakened to the fact that
the Yellowstone valley was the city's
main support.
This brought reply from Mr.. Hill
which was not altogether encourag-
ing and which gave evidence OF sore
ness because of the high taxes levied
against his railroads in this state.
This may account for the discrimina-
ton made against the state in freight
rates.
said 1T is possible-sometime-
that we may bring the Judith basin
back TO you. Some day we may build
a line to run off up there from your

people of the county would like to
see it done at once, Mr.. Hill replied:

in Montana. When we built the Great
Northern through this state we were
compelled to buy the right of way
of the Indians. and today we are pay

through this state as the Pennsylvania

roads as if we were working for the
state and paying our own board. Re-

1t is plain from the above that MI.
Hill has no intention of building a
railroad from Great Falls to Billings,
nor to tap the Judith basin interest
ed as he is. in both the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific, he is
going to share in the dividends which
this region helps to create. whether
the business goes to the north or to
the south. Nothing but a new. COM
peting and antagOnistic line will cause
Mr.. Hill to jump sideways, and take
off his hat to everything he sees in
Montana. And not until then can
Montana expect to get square deal"
in freight rates. That day may be
sometime hence. but it is coming

The fact that Mr. Richard Olney has
been identified with large corporations
as counsel for a good many years, and
the knowledge that he is a stickler
for technicalities and a strict construc-
zionist, with reference to the consti-
tuition. will detract much from his ar
Sument against President RooseveltS
rate making policy. Mr.. Olney sees
breakers ahead in a conflict of author
lty between the states and the United
States and thinks government regu-
lation of freight rates would lead to
government ownership of railroads.
something more likely to happen if
the government is not given some pow
