DENIAL FROM WARNER.
Michigan Executive Refutes State
ments as to President Roosevelt.

LANSING, Mich, June Gov Fred NJ.
Warner today issued a statement denying
a published report that President Roose-
welt, while in Lansing last Friday, advised
the governor TO go slow with railroad legis-
atiOn and let the interstate commerce
commission work out the problems now
under consideration.
Nothing of the kind occurred" says the
governor in his statement II am at a loss
to know why such statement should APP
pear in print. Certainly it is not in accord
with the Presidents address to the legisla-
ture here. The state as well as the general
government has problems to work out, and
there is no reason why there should be any
conflict in these matters. 1t is important
that they should be worked out as soon as
possible. and the national laws supple
mented by state legislation"
Gov. Warner says that he talked of rail-
road legislation with the President, but
that nothing the President said TO him on
the subject could he Construed ad-
monition for the Michigan legislature to go
slow. The governor would not relate the
details of the conversation without the per-
mission of the President.

AMBITION or His LIFE
Winner Was Ridden by Johnny
Reiff, American Jockey.
NINE HORSES LINED UP AT POST
Immense Crowd Surprised at the Re-

LONDON, June 5.-Richard Croker today
won the Derby at EPSON and gained the
ambition of his life, his colt Orby, bred
from an American dam and ridden by an
American jockey Johnny" Reiff having
beaten all the British cracks and captured
the blue ribbon of the worlds turf by two
lengths.
Outside of Mr.. Croker and his immediate
encourage Orby had but few friends, and
the betting indicated that the sporting
prophets estimated his chances as being
slight. Mr.. Croker and those who watched
the colts trial, however, were sanguine
that they held surprise in store for the
Derby crowds. Those who saw the Irish
American candidate do his stretching gal

THE CLEVELAND AT Annoy.
Arrival Of the Cruiser Not Regarded
as Significant

The Navy Department is informed that
the cruiser Cleveland has joined the gum
boat Helena at Annoy. 1t is stated, how
ever, that the movement was not ordered
from Washington and that it probably has
no more significance than the mere stop
page of the Cleveland at Annoy on her way
to another port. Nothing has been heard
from the commander of the Helena re-
garding troubles in China. and the i'm
preston prevails here that the reported
uprising is confined to the interior and is
directed against the government and not
against foreigners 1t is regarded as prob
able that the Cleveland will remain at
Annoy and assist the Helena for the pro-
lection of American interests in case of
necessity.
