Brown, the Millionaire Horseman, Killed by Officers After He Had Killed One and Prob ably Fatally Wounded Another. CHICAGO, Sept. 8.—Racing at Garfield Park has terminated in a tragedy dread ful enough to shock both contesting fac tions in the fight. Three men's lives paid the forfeit of the effort to suppress racing on the track. James M. Brown, the horseman, was instantly killed and Officer Johif Powell shared a like fate. Officer Henry McDowell was mortally wounded, and the surgeons say he can scarcely Survive the -night. The triple shooting was a sequel to the daily raid on the race track. Brown was standing on the roof of the stables at the extreme south end of the course when his arrest was attempted. Three officers clam bered to the roof and Brown, drawing a revolver, warned them -off. He was ordered to surrender, but refused, and pointing his weapon at the policemen began to back toward the edge of the roof. One of the policemen fired a shot in the air and Brown made a wild leap from the roof, landing inside the grounds. Officers McDowell and Powell followed in close pursuit. He ran across the prairie to Harrison street, where a brick building was in course of construction. Here Powell overtook him and reached out to grasp him by the sleeve.. Turning squarely around. Brown, who still grasped his revolver in his right hand, raised the weapon and fired point blank at the policeman. The bullet struck the officer in the mouth and he fell dead. Then Brown Btarted to run east on Harrison and encountered Officer McDowell. Both men raised their weapons and fired simultaneously. McDowell staggered a few feet forward and then fell across the sidewalk. Brown ran west' and Btopped to fire again at the prostrate body of Officer Powell. He met Officer William Jones and both men raised their revolvers aud Brown pulled the trigger of his weapon but no explosion followed. Jone3 had by this time taken aim at the horseman and fired. Browu sprang into the air and uttered a sharp cry. He staggered a moment and then turning ran into the areaway between two buildings where he was found dead shortly after. Three bullets were found in his body, showing that he had been wounded early in the fight. One May Recover. CHICAGO, Sept. 8.—Officer Henry Mc Dowell, ol' Desplaines street station, the surviving victim of Turfman's Brown's revolver, is in an improved condition and the hospital physicians say now that there are good prospects for his ultimate recovery.

Erwin Says Carnegie Is Robbing tlie Government. ST. PAUL, Sept. 8.—W. W. Erwin, the Minnesota lawyer sent by the labor unions of this state to aid in the defense of the locked-out men at Homestead,Pa., has returned and brought with him a sensation. He said: "Behind the Home stead emeute lies afoul conspiracy. The meu who made the rolled armor plate told me that the cost of that plate was only about $40 per ton, while the gov ernment pays Carnegie $600 per ton. Here is a profit of over $ti,500,000 to Carnegie on his 6,000-ton contract. And the men tell me that the test plates were manufactured with mixtures of aluminum worth 60 cents per pound and so stood the government tests, but that the delivered armor was rolled steel, which the workmen claim will shiver like glass before the testing guns of the government. This must be in vestigated, and the patriotic courts of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the proper place to test the truth of this emeute and locate the conspiracy against justice and the public weal. Got Twenty-one Years. PITTSBURG, Sept. 8.—Charles Havre, who recently assaulted Workhouse Keeper Eberhardt, and escaped from that institution, in court pleaded guilty to four charges of larceny, one'of escap ing from the workhouse, one for feloni ous assault and battery, and one for larceny and receiving stolen goods, Judge Kennedy thereupon sentenced him to terms in the penitentiary aggre gating nineteen years and two years in the workhouse. Havre's unexpired term in the workhouse must be first served after which each of the sentences will be commenced after the former expires. The Report Denied. HOMESTEAD, Pa., Sept.-8.—The state ment that 100 Slavs had returned to work is denied by the strikers and also by officials of the company. There was much indignation among the locked out men over the report, as the foreigners, they claim, were exemplary in their firmness, and have braced up many English-Bpeaking workers, who were growing weak-kneed. Cleveland Will Not Attend. NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—A special to The Times from Buzzard's Bay says tnat Mr. Cleveland wili not attend the rail/ at Bloomington, Ills., on Oct. 10 as reported a day or two ago. AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN Decided on by the Minnesota People's Party Committee. ST. PAXIL, Sept. 8.—Ignatius Donnelly, populist candidate for governor, met fifty members of his state committee here. Enthusiastic reports were made as to the condition of the party in the fifteen northern counties, but the out look elsewhere was not so hopeful. It was resolved to make an aggressive campaign all over the state and make a special effort to win the labor vote of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth. Ignatius Donnelly said his observation led him to believe that the People's J)arty would have a plurality in the state. The committee adjourned after naming three presidential electors in place of those who resigned shortly after the state convention. The electors chosen are Peter McGrath, of Mankato John Dillon, of St. Paul, and C. E. M. Brown, of Little Falls. Congressman Halverson declined to run for lieutenant governor and Swan Nelson was substi tuted. CAMPAIGN ISSUES. Dir. Blaine Writes a Letter to Chair man Stanley of the Blaine 1 Committee, In Which Jle Gives His Views on the Issues of the Present Cam paign. The Tariff Issue of the Greatest Im portance—A Paragraph on Reciprocity. AUGUSTA, Me., Sept. 8. -The first let ter from Hon. James Q-. Blaine to Chair man Manley, of the Republican state committee, has been made public. Mr. Blaine begins !*is letter by stating that he is not able to deliver public speeches in this campaign he takes the liberty of submitting his views on the issues which he regards as being the strongest for the Republicans to urge before the people, and continues: The issue of the greatest consequence is tho tariff of imports, and it will continue to be until a settlement is effected by a majority so S. large that it will-bo tantamount to general acquiesenco. The Republicans are aggressive on this subject. Two years ago they passed a general enactment known as the McKinley tariff bill, which for a time failed to meet with popular approval and was regarded with a certain degree of distrust by those who had always upheld the protective system, but a powerful reaction haB come in consequence of the vindication of thtf McKinley tariff by ex- i-, perieuce. It is found to have worked admir ably, and within the lost year has produced a greater volume of business, internal aud ex* ternal, export and import, than the Unitod States ever transacted before. Notwithstand ing the character aud extent of tho opposition to it, agriculture is remunerative,-maaufae tures are prosperous and commerce^ is biorc flourishing than at any previous time, thus vindicating tho McKinley tarid tpr. an irn- $ pressfve and undeniable scries of facta. $ The position of the Democratic party -5 on the tariff Question is then taken up and discussed at considerable length1. On the question of reciprocity Mr. Blaine says: j* When the principle of reciprocal trade was first proposed to be introduced into. the tariff system the Democrats showed as much gen erous appreciation of the question and gavo it their bupport as long as Republicans ret used to accept it but when tho Republicans came to approve it the Democratic support vanished and instead of favor we find the Democratic f: national convention passing a resolution hos tile to tho Bystem, but in spite of Democratic opposition we have attained through reciproc ity a new,and valuable trade and the system has demonstrated its many advantages. Wo? were about to declare sugar, molasses, coffce and hides free of all duties 'in the McKinley bill but instead of that we passed a law by which we asked tho several nations interested what they would give to have their articles trade free. The Plank in the Democratic plat form favoring the removal of tax on state banks is strongly denounced as a system that would work a destructive S. loss to the innocent holders of bills. Mr. 1 Blaine concludes by saying that he would not multiply issues but keep up a steadfast presentation of these questions. to the people. S All WeU on tho City of New York.
