VOLUME LXVIIt-NO. 26. WON BY A HEAD. Salvator's Great Victory at Sheepshead Bay. All PreYions Mile and a Quarter Run ning Records Broken. A Race That Attracted Attention Through out the Country— The Famous Horses and Their Riders. Special Dispatches to The Morning Cali*. SnEKrsiiEAi) Bay, June 25.— The great event at Sheepshead Bay Track to-day was the Salvator-Tenny match for SSOOO a side with 810,000 added by the club. Both horses carried 122 pounds; distance, a mile and a quarter. This great event has been the chief topic in racing circles for days past, and it drew hundreds of people to the course to-day. The weather was perfect and the crowd im mense. Before the race the book-makers posted odds of 3 to 5 against Salvator and 6 to 5 for Tenny, but the betting men held off until finally one book-maker offered 7 to 10 on Salvator and this being all the Haggin ; • ,- HrS^ \ t \ J,. ill '! 11 . rC\S\ SALVATOR, BY IMP. PRIXCE CHARLIR-fALIXA. rarty v. anted they fell on the bookies in great haste. The pencilers held out for a while longer, and then cut the price to 65 to 100. Tenny's price was lengthened to 13 to 10. When the bugle sounded for the post, however, 7 to 5 could be had against him. Garrison was upon Tenny, and Murphy had the mount on Salvator. There was no delay at the post. They were sent away at once. Salvator took the lead and made the pace a very fast one. Passing the stand Salvator was half » length In front of Tenny, and this lead he increased to a length and a half on the up per turn. As they reached the stretch Sal vator drew away and was leading by nearly three lengths. Then Garrison com menced to ride, and under the whip Tenny closed up the gap inch by inch. On the last sixteenth Tenny was gaining on Salvator, but Mur phy managed to keep his head in front to the wire, winning by the shortest of short beads. Had the race been twenty yards further Garrison's magnificent riding would have lauded Tenny a winner. A wild shout went up when the time was announced. The record of 2.-0634 was beaten by one and a half seconds, and the judges then hoisted 2:05 as time. Fractional time is as follows: First quarter, 25 seconds; half mile, 0:4934; five furlongs, 1:02.4; three quarters, 1:14*4; seven - eighths, 1:2754; mile, 1:39.4; mile and an eighth, 1:52.4; mile and a quarter, 2:05. THE LOCAL INTEREST. Awaiting the Result of llie Great Con leal — Close Share. The pool-rooms, as the hour for the de cision of the race drew near, were thronged with horsemen and race-coers interested in the result. The betting was quite heavy ou the race . and although all that there is really Californian about Salvator is that J. B. Haggin owns him, still the colt was chosen as the best representative of the Pacific Coast thoroughbreds, and any quantity of "sympathy" money was bet on him. On Tuesday the bookmakers put up the match on their slates, and offered 4 to 5 Salvator, even money, and 6 to 5 Tenny. At these figures the money poured in so rapidly on Salvator that he was cut to 3to 5. Yester day morning the opening prices were: Sal vator 1 to 2, Tenny 8 to 5; and the local * post odds were: Salvator2tos, Tenny 9 to 5. Saivator's supporters here felt quite elated when the last stretch description was Sal vator by three lengths, and when tho final decision was "Salvator ins— by a head— a short oue," a good many of the winner's friends felt rather shaky in their boots, fearing that the result might perhaps be a dead heat. But soon the lime came in and Saivator's victory was assured. But it was a mighty close shave for all that. The time made shows that Salvator was ridden out fully, and that Murphy did not indulge in his fatal predilection fur grand-stand finishes and winning by a nose, just for a gallery effect. Indeed, for Tenny, after having three lengths the worst of it in the stretch, to be beaten only by a short head makes him almost fully Saivator's equal. It is a question if Tenny's performance is not the most meritorious, for good as Garri son is over the shorter distances in a mile and a quarter, the best judges consider Murphy, to be at least superior hv ten -rounds thau any other jockey. Taking these facts into consideration, Teuuy's per formance is a wonderful one. Salvator is only Californian In being owned by J. B. Haggin. The colt was born in Kentucky and purchased by Haggin when a yearling for, it was then reported, $4500. lie has always raced in the East ana has never sniffed California air. Nei ther were his sire or dam ever owned by HagKiu; and Isaac Murphy, his rider, also ls certainly not a California production. J. li. IIA.'I.IN, Owner of Salvator. Winner of the Sub urban and Match. Mr. J. B. Haggin, the millionaire, owner of Salvator, the winner of the Suburban at Sheepshead Bay, L. 1., on Tuesday, the 17th Inst, a race worth £12,000 to the victor and who is said to have won 86&000 in bets on the result, is a famous race-horse breeder and ai.u a financier and merchant on the Pacific The Morning Call. Slope. The banking firm of Haggin & Tevis of San Francisco is well known in the far West and Mr. Haggin is also interested in the Anaconda copper mine in Montana. He made his debut in the East at Jerome Bark in 1888, winning several large stakes. In 1888 he had one hundred horses in train ing, three trainers, three first-class jockeys, one " first-call" and an army of stable-boys, but bis enormous expenses far exceeded his winnings of SKW.OOO. Mr. Hoggin's mam moth stock farm is situated in Fresno County, Cal., and comprises, it is said, some 40,000 acres— almost the entire county. The stallions at Bancho del Paso are a wonder ful lot of richly bred race-horses— horses that have made their mark on the turf and proved themselves game and speedy racers. The .1 .. keys. Murphy is about the wealthiest jockey this side the Atlantic. When the season ends he weighs 115 pounds. He then goes direct to his home at Lexington, Ky. He is married to a very pretty octoroon, and his home is one of a number of houses that constitute half of the entire block, which is owned by him and valued at 530,000. He also owns a valuable stock farm near Lex ington. He lives at Lexington during the entire winter. Murphy starts in to reduce his weight in April, and wastes from 140 to 115 by May. If the scale of weights had not been raised it would have been likely that this great jockey's racing days would have soon been ended. Murphy is worth over $200,000. Edward H. Garrison, the " Snapper," J. B. Hoggin's first jockey, has a cosy resi dence at 91 Sixth avenue, Brooklyn. He is 24 years of age and married to the daughter of Joseph McMahcn, the race-horse owner. Garrison is quite a "swell" jockey. He dresses fashionably and wears a few choice diamonds. His usual weight is about I'M pounds, 'and he soon makes his regular amount of flesh. Garrison's countenance is not so drawn, sharp and weatherbeaten as his brother jockeys', and on the street he looks like a well-to-do student. He is often seen in New York theaters and upon the uptown streets. The Tribune's Comice-i'!. New York, June 28.— A Tribune cdi- trrial says: The race between Salvator and Tenny easily takes rank as one of the most extraordinary performances that has ever occurred on the American race-track. Two horses could not be more evenly matched, nor could a race be more eveuly and hotly contested. So close were the horses together at the finish that only a few inches separated them and hundreds of Tenny's champions felt certain their favor ite had won. The record was broken by this match, the time of which was phenomenal. No race for more than a score of years aroused so much interest in anticipation; none could be more exciting and inspiring from start to finish. Comments cf the New York Star. New York, June 25.— The Star editori ' ally says: "Salvator covered himself with glory again in his match with Tenny. There has been no horse of his kind for many years that could equal him as he runs to-day. In form, in speed, in staying powers and in all tho qualities that go tc make up a great racer he stands prominent." » MURPHY TALKS. lie Telia What Be Bid nnd What He Bight Have Done. New ToitK, June 25.— "1t was one of the hardest finishes I ever had," said Murphy after the race. "Salvator is a great colt, but I had all I could do to win. That little horse is a real good oue. Such a burst of speed be showed in the last sixteenth I never saw equaled." " A majority of the spectators appear un der the impression you had little in hand at the finish," said a reporter, "all up the tack-stretch you were sitting perfectly still while Garrison was riding hard." "That's ail wrong," replied Murphy. "Salvator was all out to the last ounce. It is true I sat still for two thirds journey, but was punching him with spurs all the way. You saw how I had to hustle in last sixteenth." "Exception lias been taken to Garrison's riding of Tenny by practical judges. They think he-lay too far behind Salvator, and that he should have kept within a ueck of him," said the reporter. "Suppose you had been on Tenny, with your judgment of pace, would you have lain behind as far as Garrison did?" "It all depends on the instructions the jockey receives. Garrison probably rode to orders," answered Murphy. "If 1 received directions I should do the same thing." " Bui suppose you had been allowed to follow your own judgment?" "In that case I should have been head and head with Salvator all the way, He would hare had to beat mc for any lead he got." Winners at Shepshead Biy.

Boston, June 25. — Certain Massachu setts members of the family of Andrew Jackson Davis, who died in Butte, Mont, last spring, have begun a contest in the Pro bate Court for the possession of 57,500,000 left by deceased. Henry A. Boot, the most interesting witness of the day, practiced law in New York until three months ago, when he became a citizen of Montana, briefly for the purposes he said, of qualifying him self to act as administrator of his uncle's estate. An essential part of Boot's tes timony was the account of conversa tions between Erwin and himself in February last. Ho said that Davis, who applies to be appointed administrator of 8500,000 worth of property of deceased in Massachusetts, visited bis uncle. Erwin said to him, Andrew can never recover. You aud Ellen and I are ths ones who naturally ought to administer ou the estate. We are the strongest minds of tho family, and as far as what happens among us is concerned, we will talk about that hereafter. Thero is 54.000.000 of it. Diana, the oldest sister, don't need anything but a house aud $12,000 or $la >,ooo. I will give Lizzio Bowdern, another sister, a bouse in Springfield and money enough to live on." After making similar remarks to other members of the family, Davis continued, according to witness, "in that way we can get them all oxceut Smith (whose wife is a niece), and we will have to law it out of him." Erwin also made an astounding proposition regarding John and bis son Andy, that they be invited to New York, and Jonn be made so drunk that he would fall off his chair, and then he could be got to sign any paper wanted. Witness also said that at this conversation his uncle said: " There is a will and we are left outside. We will break it." Boot went out to Montana and look citiz nsbip there, because there was no one but the public administrators to look after business. The hearing was adjourned until September. TDK bl'GAll TBI'ST. An Opinicn That the Combination Has Ho Further Legal Remedy. ALBA NT, June 25.— Deputy Attorney- General Whitaker expresses his belief that the Sugar Trust has no further legal rem edy. Ho says, however: "Its attorneys might undertake to' carry an appeal to the United stales Supreme Court, under a sec tion of the Constitution which holds that citizens of one State shall not be deprived of privileges enjoyed by citizens of other States, but I doubt if such a course will be taken." Boston, Junc23.— Charles Foster, Presi dent of the Boston Sugai lining Company, and one of the Trustees of the Sugar Trust, said regarding the Court of Appeals decision. " I am not sure of finding the decision correctly reported. I am dis inclined to believe it. No matter what the decision may be it will not affect the busiuess of tbo trust. They can't prevent us from making money legitimately, If the court says we are uot doing business legally, we shall re organize into corporations and our business will go on just the same." New Yoi'.k, June 25.— .V Press editorial says: "The decision iv the Sugar Trust case is far reaching and important to all trusts. It is a substantial and emphatic vic tory of the people aud law over trusts." The Evening Post charges that John C. Sheehan, Secretary of the Aqueduct Com mission mid brother of Bill Sheehan, Gov ernor Hill's friend, offered to sell informa tion concerning the Sugar Trust decision in Hall street last Friday. He claimed to have seen the decision, and offered the in formation for cash or other consideration. The Post says it is tho general belief that Slieehau found a purchaser of ihe Informa tion Friday night, and if close examination is made of those who dumped sugar certi ficates by the thousands Saturday morning, the baser might possibly be ascertained. The methods of the sellers wero criticized because instead of peddling uut in small lots, they jumped on certificates so savagely that they reached stop orders and lost the market. The persons hack of the Post's statements are leady to make affidavits to these facts. THK IYOKLiU'S PAIKJ All Sections to Ba B c.gtzl in th. Board of Officers.

Committees were appointed and a recess taken. On reassembling Walter Lyon of Alle ghany was made permanent Chairman, and after some filibustering, another recess was taken. . .' The platform declares uncompromising hostility to monometnlisin, whether ql gold or silver, and earnestly favors the use of both. The Republican party of Pennsylva nia demands the enactment by the Congress now in session of such legislation as will, while securing the full use of silver as money, most certainly secure and maintain a parity between the two metals. The platform heartily indorses Harrison's administration, commends the course of Speaker Reed and congratulates him, ex presses gratitude to Chairman Quay of the National Committee for his matchless serv ices in the last Presidential campaign. It indorses the McKinley Tariff Bill, and re quests the strictest enforcement of the laws forbidding the entrance into the country of foreign paupers and contract laborers. The names of George W.

The platform also favors liberal pensions; demand a fiee ballot, honest count and the suppression ol trusts and like combines. On the temperance ques tion it declares against compromise with the saloons and stands by the people of the State in their hostility to their spread and power, calling upon Congress to protect the powers of States.

Retnrned to the Senate, and a Conference Committee Requested. Debate on the Question of tbe Admission of Wyoming— The National Elec tion Bill Assailed. Special Dispatches to The Morning Call. Washington, Juue 25. —The Consular and Diplomatic Bill was amended in several instances.' Ono amendment increased the salary at Constantinople from $7500 to 810,000, and another gives $05,000 toward the survey of the intercolonial railway fore shadowed by the Pan-American Congress. The bill then passed, as also did the bill to prevent collisions at sea. Several petitions wero received aud re ferred. [ The conference report on the Pensions Appropriation Bill was presented. The Senate receded from only one amendment not arranged in the conference — that for the appointment of two additional pension agents, and tho bill now goes to tlie Presi dent. The Senate bill to prevent transportation in bond of merchandise between the United States and Mexico, and to restore that right whenever the Zona Libra is abolished, was reported adversely. The Senate then went into executive ses sion. The doors were reopened and the Senate took up the House bill for the admission of Wyoming as a State. The bill was temporarily laid aside and Ingalls offered a resolution instructing the Committee on Privileges and Elections to inquire into the publication in the Becord to-day of a personal explanation by Call and report whether it is in accordance with the rule, etc. This led to a sharp spat, in the course of which Ingalls charged Call with having "deliberately falsified thu Bec ord." He was called to order and modified this, making it "changed the Becord." The resolution went over without action and the Senate proceeded with the Wyoming Admis sion Bill. The report of the Committee on Terri tories being read, Vest opposed the bill. He knew in the past States had been admitted with small populations because of some sectional or party exigencies, but none such existed now. Wyoming, he said, has a population of not over 00,000, scattered over an immense area of nearly 7000 square miles. Vest would uot vote for the auuiis sion of Wyoming with its present Constitu- , tion permitting woman suffrage. Woman suffrage was antagonistic to the spirit and institutions of the American people. He deplored the extension of suffrage to the colored men in the South, and said no in telligent man to-day would give it to them. He himself would no more give them lhe right of suffrage than he would give a deadly weapon to a child. He certainly would not give it to colored women, who were far more impulsive aud thoughtless thau the men. Another objection Vest made to the Constitution of Wyoming was that ii gave the right of holding properly to aliens. Piatt said Wyoming bad as good a right to admission as any Territory ever admit ted. He was surprised that the gentlemen devoted to " home rule" should not be will lug to allow a Territory to decide the woman suffrage question for Itself. Uo believed the population of Wyoming to be nearer 125,000 than 100,000. In conclusion Piatt spoke of the great resources of Wyoming, and said that with irrigation it could sup port 10,000,000 people. At the close of Plait's remarks he made an effort to have a vote taken on the bill, but Vest objected and moved an amend ment aud the Senate adjourned. THE HOUSE. Non-Concurrence in the Senate Amendments to the Silver Bill. Washington, June 25. — Conger in a lengthy speech yesterday defended the ac tion of the committee in presenting the Sil ver Bill to the House for its immediate ac tion.

The substitue provides that immediately aft , er the passage of the Silver Bill the House 1 proceed with the Election Bill, until July 2, at 2 o'clock, when the previous question is to be consider ordered. The will not in terfere with the general appropriation bills. Springer - moved to adjourn and Enloo shouted, "This is a bill to revolutionize the Uovernment." Finally it was agreed to allow forty min utes' debate on the resolution, with the un derstanding that the previous ' question should be considered, and Springer with drew his motion to adjourn. * McMillin and Bluuut vigorously attacked the bill, and from this time on there was great confusion on the floor. Cannon and O'Neal! (Indiana) engaged in a colloquy somewhat personal,' and this added so much to the already existing disorder that the Sergeant-at-Arms came forward with his mace of office and restored order. Springer moved to table the resolution. On the yeas and nays vote this •as lost. Yeas, 110: nays, 113; Coleman (Louisiana) being the only Republican who voted with the Democrats. The text of the Tariff Bill, with the changes recommended by the Senate Fi nance Committee and explanations thereof, were furnished to-day to the Senate. The committee believes that lead contained in silver ore should be admitted for less than lead in any other form, hence tlie duty of 134 cents per pound. As to sugar the committee says: "Sugar, uu to No. 13, Dutch standard, as placed upon the free list, as a matter of wise public policy, and a bounty provided in order to encourage the domestic production." The committee says as to wool: "The demand from rep resentative wool-growers of the country that rates upon wool should be largely increased, lias led the committee to recommend the adoption of the new classification herein suggested, which it is hoped will result in the uniform and honest classification of wool. The increase of rates for manufacturers' wool has been made uecessary by this increase in wool rates. The minority report in opposition to the Federal Election Bill denounces Federal interference in Stato elections, and says one election under its provisions, if fully applied, would cost the tux-payers of the country 810,000,000. The report also makes a strong objection to the provision of the bill making final returns of elections made by the District Board of Commissioners to the clerk of the House prima facie evidence of the election results. It says the bill is plainly unconstitutional. After arranging to meet at 11 o'clock for six days, during which the debate will con tinue, the House adjourned. ——————— TIMBER-CUTTING.

Large Quantity of Perishable Freight De layed by Railroad Strikes. Chicago, June From indications to night it is feared that to-morrow every railroad entering Chicago will be tied up, and every carrying trade of the city be tied up. . No final decision was reached at the conference of the Illinois Central offi cials this evening. It will be rendered to-morrow at 10 o'clock, and on it depends the whole ' issue. The Chairman ,of the Grievance Committee is responsible for the statement . that if . an agreement is not reached, the Brotherhood Switchmen. will call out the men on all the other roads. These men • are entirely in sympathy with the Illinois Central strikers and ready to go out at a moment's notice. There is danger, unless the strike Is soon settled, that it will spread to - other roads. The Big Four" road, which has a track age arrangement with the Illinois * Central, finding itself unable to get freight into tbe city, made arrangement with the Chicago and Eastern Illinois. Suspecting that the Illinois Central was doing the same thing, the Eastern Illinois men refused to handle any of. the "Big Four" cars. This has caused another block. , ■ On the Illinois Central tracks large quan tities of fruits and berries are side-tracked at various points and are fast rotting. The officials of the road have issued an order to sell these goods as fast as possible. - Com mittees of trainmen from several roads, In cluding the : Chicago, Milwaukee and St, Paul and the Chicago St. Paul and Kansas City roads, have offered to make the strike general unless ■ tbe trouble is settled * to night. Superintendent * Russell was for merly connected wi^h these roads and they say he proved : so . obnoxious ■ that he was forced off those lines. ■-■**-■ Sr. Louis, June 25.— Four hundred and fifty men employed by the various roads struck at East St. Louis ' this s forenoon for an advance «in - wages. -.'Much perishable freight Is tied up. - . . * CM|ggtfriH ■ *» Harvard Commencement Exercises. i..-.

He Returns From Los Angeles and Is Arrested*. The So-Called Marriage Contract Found in His Foßieision— Hs Wids Carrie Henrici in the Sooth. Henry Esdor, for whom the police have been searching for several days, wag ar rested last niglit at 501 Jones street by De tective. Burke on a warrant charging him with abduction. The complainant in tho case is William Heurici, a young man who is the brother of the girl the accused is charged with abducting. The prisoner, who claims to have been a saw-mill-owner, about six years ago be came acquainted with the Henrici family, living at 1107 Eighteenth street, in this city, consisting of Mrs. Henrici, a widow, and three children— two girls and a boy. It is charged that Esdor so ingratiated himself into the confidences of the widow that he obtained the greater portion of her property valued at 810,000 and con verted it to lii own use. Last January Mrs. Henrici died and Esdor produced a will mak ing him executor of her estate and guardian of the children. A few months later a creditor of the estate made complaint in the Superior Court and a new administrator was ap pointed. An uncle of the Henrici children also became dissatisfied with Esdor's guar dianship and caused his removal, the uncle being substituted in his stead. The new guardian had tbe children re moved from the house where Esdor re sided, but the latter induced two of them to return to him. They were William, the complainant in the felony case, and Carrie Heurici, aged about 14 years. Matters ran along smoothly under the latter ar rangement until about two weeks ago, when the brothei of the girl dis covered that Esdpr's relations with the girl weie closer than that of guardian. The brother raised a scene, which Esdor en deavored to prevent by producing a marriage contract with Carrie. The contract was of a one-sided character however, being made out only by the girl, and containing her acknowledgment of be ing his wife. The alleged husband did not put himself on record as her spouse nor did he explain his failure to do so. The con tract made out by the girl was found in the prisoner's possession. It reads as follows: To Mr. 11. J. Esdor— By the memory of my mother and father 1 do say and promise to you that 1 vow, love ana cherish you only, aud that I always will be true and litiihiul to you, seeking no excuses, and liud uo causes whatever, and will be your wile only (or uot lie married at all) and as such wit*- he loving, true and faithful to you, and to listen to no oue, hot do as you tell me and believe you only. All this I do promise and agree from my own feellogs without fear or per suasion. (JAKRIE E. ll i.m: i. i. Snn Francisco, May 12, 1800. . Young Henrici was not mollified by the production of the so-called contract, but vowed he would swear out a warrant for the arrest of his ex-guardian, aud did so. Esdor, however, took alarm, and with the girl fled from the city. Henrici thereupon swore out another warrant for tho apprehension of his psuedo brother-in-law on a charge of abduction. Being out of the city, the police were un able to serve the document, but the accused returned here last Mouday night. On Tuesday morning lie called at the office of Mr. Hunter, Secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, with whom he had been for merly employed. Esdor stated he had en deavored to arrange matters satisfactorily by again marrying the girl. Ho said he had gone *. ith her to Los Angeles and was there married . by a minister named Wright. When asked how he obtained a license, the girl being then under age, he said that he had consulted the County Clerk about the diffi culty and was directed to have a guardian appointed for the girl. This was done by a certain gentleman in Los Angeles, and the marriage was duly performed last Sat urday. Esdor then concluded to return here to face his troubles.and offered the mar riage certificate in palliation of his offense. He claims that Mr. Hunter showed the doc ument to Police Judge Lawlor, who ordered the warrants to be withdrawn and that the Chief of Police instructed his officers ac cordingly. . Tho accused was much surprised when the officer arrested him last night. He is about 35 years of age, and has a handsome appearance. He denied the charges of ab sorbing Mrs. Henrici'sproperty.audsaid the only money he obtained from the widow was $900 which lie borrowed and subsequently repaid. He also denied the story that he had never been divorced from his first wife, and was therefore afraid to attach his name to the " marriage contract." He claimed he was divorced from his first wife twelve years ago in the old District Court. He left the girl, Carrie, in Los Angeles, and when searched last night a letter from her was found on him. It was of an affec tionate nature, and expressed the wish that he would be soon out of his troubles. CALIFOKXIA FKUIT. Eastern Demand for Canned Goods— The Prune Market— Chics Salea. New York, June 25.— -The demand in this market for California canned fruits has taken a decided start the past week. Local commission firms booked a number of orders.
