Discharges Hoffman

Another grievance which the horse
men have advanced is that Brooks re-
Gently attempted to interfere with
Starter Hoffman in the discharge Of his
duties in sending the fields away from
the post.
A report became current that Holt
man and Brooks had quarreled while
Hoffman was attempting to send away
a field of horses January 25, the quar-
rel being occasioned by Brooks
language in instructir~ Hoffman as
regards treatment of horses and
jockeys at the post.
1t is related that following the quar-
rel Brooks informed Hoffman that he
was discharged, and this report reached
the ears of the lorsemen. causing con-
sternation among them because Holt
man is considered one of the most COM
petent officials in this line.
Committees called upon George Rose
and other directors of the jockey club
and stated the details as /. had been
given to them. The affair was stilled
and Hoffman continued in his position
while the public was none the wiser as
to the accuracy of the report.
All these things have added in max
ing more intense the strained relations
between the manager and horsemen at
Ascot and since their attempts at
securing a hearing before the board of
directors have failed thus far they
have almost become discouraged with
the hope deferred.
The horsemen formed an owners as
sociation several weeks ago and ap-
pointed a committee to meet the direc-
tors, and this committee presented
their grievances to a portion Of the
board January 10, at which they were
assured of prompt action upon their
complaints.
This committee was composed of

NOTICE
OWNERS AND TRAINERS.

The intention of handicap races at
this track is to make good contests. In
the future we do not care to have horses
entered in handicaps unless it is the
owners intention to start them. We
also do not intend to have any kickings
or criticism in front of the box re-
garding weights. Parties doing so
must run their horses in selling or
condition races. Owners and trainers
who are wise enough 70 know just what
horse will win a handicap would do
much better to wait and conceal their
knowledge and bet on the horse when
the race is run.

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York. October 5.-R. c. Dun & Co.'s weekly trade review tomorrow will say:
 No unfavorable developments have ap- peared except the damage by storm at the south, which was almost entirely local in effect
 Autumn trade is now in full swing, es- pecial activity having been reported in dry goods, millinery and footwear. Man ufaeturing plants are engaged far in ad- vance in all the leading industries, the metal departments making the striking exhibition, and the activity of importers is shown by railway earnings in Septem- Der 92 per cent larger than last year S figures.
 Crop returns are up to expectations. aside from some loss in cotton which caused a violent rise in prices
 Scarcity of most forms of steel and pressure for quick delivery tend to har- den quotations while the rise in pig iron has continued until the inflated position of few years ago seems about to be at tained.
 The most important development of the week in the textile industries was the elimination of irregularity in primary markets for cotton goods because of the sharp advance In the prices of raw ma terial. Purchasers who had hesitated to place orders beyond immediate needs in the hope that better terms would soon be available. changed their attitude abruptly and endeavored to arrange distant de- liveries.
 Commercial failures this week in the United States are 1s3 against 1Ss last week. and 195 the corresponding week last year.

INDIAN PRINCE SEES
 SEVEN WIVES KILLED
France Fears She Will Have to Use Energetic Measures to Preserve
 Order In lndo-China.

Paris, October 5-Thanh Thia King of Annam, according to stories reaching Paris from Indo China, has again been guilty of such atrocities that the French government may become compelled to adopt rigorous disciplinary measures, as 1t did several years ago. when on account of the scandal caused by the barbarous torture of the Kings personal attendants, the French resident at the head of the gendarmery entered the palace to save the lives of attendants and restore order.
 The mail report that in August the King was seized with a homicidial mania, ordered seven of his wives to be executed and looked on with delight, while they were slowly tortured to death few days later the King shot down a prince who was 70 years of age, a member of the council of the royal family and the last surviving son of King Minh Mang. When the French resident called to remonstrate the King declined to permit him to enter the palace.

HEARST CARES NOT
 FOR M'CARREN'S VIEW
Says People of Brooklyn Shall Decide What Is for Their Best
 Interest.

Chatam N. Y, October civilian R. Hearst, democratic and Independence league candidate for governor, had his attention directed today to a published statement by P. H. McCarren. democratic organization leader of Brooklyn, that if Mir. Hearst persists in having Independ- ence league candidates nominated in Kings county there will be plurality of 75.00O against him In Brooklyn.
 'The question of whether Brooklyn goes 75.0o0 one way or the other is for the citi- zens of Brooklyn to decide and not for MT. McCarren to decide" said Mir Hearst "I have the utmost consideration for the wishes of the citizens of Brooklyn, and none whatever for the wishes of Mir Me- Carren. In placing an Independent ticket in the field in Brooklyn we are doing ests of the citizens of Brooklyn. MT. Me Carren by calling himself a democrat does not make himself democrat. If he should call himself an honest man 1t would not make him an honest man. If he should call his ticket a good ticket, it would not make it a good ticket As a matter of actual fact the McCarren tick ct Is notoriously unfit and should not command the support of honest democrats or honest Independents.
 T am a democrat but Jeffersonian democrat, not a corporation democrat, and l cannot allow a hired agent of the corporations like McCarren to define my democracy or dictate unworthy candidates for me to support"

PENNYPACKER GETS
 INTERNAL MACHINE
Package Contained Shell and Black Powder, But 1t Is Thought to
 Have Been a Joke.

Harrisburg, Pa. October 5.-A suspicious looking package containing what appeared to be an internal machine was found in Governor Pennypacker's mail at the ex- ecutive mansion today. It was about three inches square. Newspaper clippings were tied around the box with small pieces of yellow ribbons. The peculiar appearance of the package excited the suspicion of Executive Clerk Lynch, who placed it in bucket of water and let it soak for several hours. Upon being opened it was found to contain a small case resembling g cartridge shell surrounded by black powder, and was intended to be exploded by the removal of the lid.
 The package was addressed to the gov ernor.
 The machine it IS thought was sent by a practical joker. The officials assert that 1t was not dangerous.

TRADE IS STILL OF
 RECORD VOLUME Advance in Cotton Acts As Sil-
 yer Lining PIG IRON AGAIN ADVANCES Car Shortages Are Charged With Some Responsibility for the
 Rather Slow Move
 ment of Grain.
PIG IRON AGAIN ADVANCES

New York, October 5.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Trade is still of record volume for the season and industry is active beyond pre- cedent This, too, despite bad weather and serious crop damage at the south, and de- layed movement of western crops to mar ket. A silver lining to the southern cloud however. is found in the advance of 1ac a pound in cotton, and cooler and more settled weather at the west evoke inl- provements in retail trade.
 Car shortages are charged with some responsibility for the rather slow move- cereals Is largely due to reports of im- proving export demand.
 Collections are irregular, ranging from a slow to fair result at the south, and good in some western points.
 Pig iron has again advanced the n- ereases ranging from % to 50 cents per ton. Prices are now approaching the level that prevailed in the latter part of 1903, and the first portion of 1902. Buying of ba- sic pig in the east has been heavy, the bulk of the new business being for de- livery in the first quarter of 1907. Foundry iron for prompt shipment is very scarce and command a high price. Business in finished lines eclipse all previous records.
 New business in steel rails is of mod crate proportions.
 Refined sugars have dropped 20 points and raws are lower here, and in Eu- rope.
 Business failures for the week ending October in the United States number 136 against 150 last week and 1S9 in the like week of 1905.
 In Canada the failures numbered g, against 2T last week and 9 in the cor responding week last year

 the Tide.
DANES SPLENDID STRENGTH

The Burns-W stergaard wrestling match last night was simply a repetition of the old story of science combined with some strength overcoming much avoirdupois and much strength. It was the greatest match that was ever served to a Bir mingham audience, and at none previous was the same amount of enthusiastic in- terest shown. Farmer" Burns main- taned his reputation, defeating the big Danish giant but to state simply that his task was a most difficult one is put ting it extremely light.
 The match was held at the Jefferson theatre. The first fall, which was the most desperately contested of the three, went to Westergaard. In the second bout, Burns rushed the heavier man, and played over his shoulders, legs and neck with a single motion, finally placing his should CTS to the mat at the expiration of five minutes. The third fall was great one, and went to the Farmer after twenty three minutes of magnificent work, the lighter man conquering the stouter after getting him thoroughly winded
 Man or muSClc.
 Decidedly the strongest and best propor- toned wrestler that has yet made his bow before d local audience is Wester- gaard. At the conclusion of the event. Burns announced to the cheering audience that if the Dane had the science that he had, the defeated man could beat anyone in America. According to Burns, he is the strongest man In the wrestling game today, and in addition, had weight, wind, and some science. Furthermore, he is bold and aggressive.
 A feature of the great match was the ease with which Westergaard broke the fNal "hammer-lock,' which is Burns long suit" On more than one occasion, did the Dane pull himself together, and with gritted teeth, undo the hold that has conquered many men. The twisted right arm, was forced to it's entir3 length and when this feat was accom-, plished, Burns had been lifted bodily by the strength of one arm and thrown at distance, in a manner that a terrier han dies a rat

Both contestants performed well and were given credit for fine efforts.

More Third Term Talk.

DIR. Wise, distinguished rabbi Of Ore
gon, said in an address delivered in New
York yesterday:
Theodore Roosevelt is the great saving
asset of the republican party, because he is
rightly held by the nation to be a scorner
or consequence. Roosevelt is greatest
when he is himself. his daring and achiev-
ing self, when, shaking off the trammels
of party allegiance, he dares to follow right:
aye. to iead the people Alright. The test of
his courage Is yet to come if it should be-
come his duty to appeal from his party in
Congress. to all the parties in the nation
for the support. enactment, and execution
Of those measures which are Justly and
equitably to serve the welfare of the whole
American people"
This follows hard upon AM announcement
that in Pennsylvania and Of or two other
ststes rev party is already forming, with
the object of putting Mr.. Roosevelt for
ward for a third term. DIR. Wise speaks of
necessity that may arise. The test Of
the Presidents courage is left problemat-
ical. If his party in Congress should not
force him to appeal, why of course he need
not appeal. In the localities named the
