VOL. XXXII.-NO 189, NA. MONTANA. SUNDAY MOFRNING, JUNE 21, 1891.-TWELVE PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS WAS A FAMOUS DERBB, The Great Race at Washington. Park, Chicago, Was a Sensational Event. high Tariff, a Fine Montana Horse, Palls Dead on the Track. Poet Scout, Another Montana Animal, Came in Just Behind Strathmeath, the Winner-Other Sports. CmcGoo, III., June 20.-Death to one horse, $19,000 to another. That was the American derby of 1891. A scarlet flash on the horizon, fifty thoutand people breath less. a gleam of white beneath the wire, and the richest stake race in the west was over. It was by l3trathmeath, New York's favor ito, that the battle was won. Half a mile off, where had been the thick of the fight, lay motionless on the track the corpse of High Tariff. Toin Kelly, the gallant beast's rider, twice a derby victor on that course, had this time pushed the limit of equine endurance. There was a sudden plunge upward, a queer stagger of twenty yards, and High Tariff sank down into the mud lifeless. Whether in point of horses, famous joqkeys, magnificence of fashiona ble display and marvelous outpouring of people, as well as sensational incidents and bulky purse, probably no such race was ever witnessed this side of the Alleghenies. Certainly not in Chicago. No one of the seven derbies that in preceding years have made Washington park's celebrity, more than ftinged in interest to-day's event. The weather was very good, being just cloudy enough to prevent the hot June sun from making the day uncomfortable. It had been raining here for three days, but not a drop fell to-day. Such a number of ladies as put~n an appearance at the track was something unprecedented, and so great was the crush that hundreds of men were wedged helplessly in an enormous mob of male sports that packed the lawn solid in front of the betting ring. No aisle or stair way in the grand stand offered an inch of standing room. Galleries and roof were black with people, while approaches from end to end of the stretch, in eluding even club house grounds, were full almost to suffocation. In the field showed line after line of all manner of've hicles, loaded down with people. Every body agreed that despite the yielding, dust less condition of the soil that the rain had had left, the race, with its array of power ful animals entered, was to be a magnificent struggle. F o intent was the hugeconcourse of people on the real event of the day that the first two races passed almost unnoticed, exeept whenIssae Lewis, who was to ride Kingman in the derby, appeared in the sec ond race astride of Santiago. Friends of the Blue Grass derby winner gave Lewis a volley of encouraging oheers, which were re-echoed as he brought Santiago in a win ner. Many a misguided Kentuckian, and other well meaning persons, now straight way went to the betting booths and pinood their noney and faith on Kingman. The confusion in the bookmak ers' quarters as the time for the big race approached was the worst ever witnessed in Washington Park, and the bedlam, scarcely mitigated, spread to other portions of the ground. The roof over the bookmakers' heads, in front of whom were thousands of eugar gamesters, had become thick with other thousands. The police, fearing the frail supports would give way, causing per hay s a loss of life, attempted to clear the platform. Many jumped promptly into the mass of people on the lawn. buddenfly the supports creaked as a line of police forced bact the crowd en masse, and the fact was clearly demonstrated that it was less per ilous to allow the reckless mob to remain unmolested. sue nunouo was at its neignt when thc horses came out for the derby, the favor itea being warmly rec-ived. 'This was the way they were recorded: Snowball, 122 Garrison; Pessara. 121. Taral, post hetting 4 to 1; Fo crunner. 125, Allen, 10 to 1; Lo dowie, 125, Hill, 15 to 1; Michael, 125 Fitzgerald, 8 to 1; Kingman, 121), Isnai Lewis, 4 to 1; High 'Tarift, 127, Itiley, anuc Poet Scout, 115, Overton, 12 to 1; Vallera 127, Britton, 12 to 1; Strathmeath, 122, G Covington, 3 to 1. Balgowan was scratches about an hour before the race. As the last bugle sounded for the race a frightful rust began in the fruitless attempts of the lesi fortunate to secure advantageous positions from which to view the race. Starter Sheri dan mounted his box and lectured the boys, Then the horses were placed in line and ready for the start. The first trial was false, half a dozen re fusing to break. 'the second attempt was without result. At the third trial the horisee moved in solid phalanx toward the starter. The red flag descended, a seighty roar went up from the multitude, and then the tip toed thousands realized thrt the great derby was on. Forerunnoer jumped to the front, and, closely followed by Pessarn and Poet Scout, led to the first turn. Lodowio was last, fie lengths away. Coming down the streloh Poet Scout had forged to the front, btrathmeath moving up to second place, and Kingman third. Passing the stand these positions wore sturdily momintained. At the turn Michael had worked to the front and sat a merry pace down the back stretch. Poet Scout was still second, while Kingnian and Stratbineath went back to the bunch. It was at this point that the sensation of the day took place. High Tariff had started sixth and had been shoved rulentlessly through the heavy going, notwithstanding los 127 pounds weight. Riley, by shelr torce of will, seemed determined to show equal to his past recoid and, if within hu rian possibility, to again carry off the .aurels.High tariff was visibly gaining and lad passed three competitors wheti nature hebelled. An insta;.t later the fleet racer was a helpless cripple, floundering wildly in he mire, iltdy regretfully trying to check he poor wreck and at last succeeding, only t moment later to feel the ammauii tremble iid fall in a heap. The jockey hastily ex ricated himself unhurt. 3leautime the pace of the others was get ing hotter and hotter and the horses swung uto the stretch with 1'o,'t Scout in front, dtrathmeath second and Michael third. )oe: tou now begun to ride, tiring the leader leeperately, and for a moment it looked as f he might win; but Cirvington slyly 'ought Strathmeath up to the outer rail jith a rush, stealing the former tactics of Lingman's rider, and won by an open ength without the use of whip or spur. 'out Scout was second, half a length before .imfuann. 'I line, 2:44 S4.

Belle Bilton, Now the Countess of Clanoarty, as Venus, in Scant Apparel. Four Ladies Wearing Distinotive Colors Who Were Formerly Concert Hall Singers. A Brilliant Fancy Dress Ball In Paril With Some or the More Notable Costumes. [Speclal Corresnondence of Tnu [NDEPENDSNT.1 LONDON. June 6.-One question that is agitating London society is whether Belle Bilton, Lady Dunlo, will remain on the stage, now that she has become by the sud den death of her unwilling father-in-law countess of Clanoarty. There are three of the nnse-the dowager countese, widow of the third earl; Belle's belle-mere, the newly made widow of the fourth earl, and het noble self. Her husband has now a rent roll of £7,000 ($3t,000) a year, and as it cannot after all these years be much nov. elty for the heroine in Venue to tread the boards, perchance she will in future only aipear on behalf of charities. A wag sug gests that any amount of money could be made for, say, the starving Irish, if a lawn tennis match could be played on one of the public grounds by four society theatrical ladies wearing distinctive colors-Miss Belle Bilton, countess of Clancarty, and Miss Lily Ernest, Lady Mansel, in blue, against Miss Nelly Leamar, Hon. Mrs. Duncombe, and Miss Vaughan, Hon. Mrs. Wellesley, in red. Lady Mansel sings at several music halls. Her husband, Sir Richard Mansel, has a title as old as any in England. He lost all his money years ago, and few are to poor as to do him honor. The Hon. Mrs. Duncombe, wife of a younger brother of the earl of Feversham, singe comic songs for her liv ing. She is a pister-in-law (unacknowl edged) of the beautiful duchess of Lein ster. The Hon, Mrs. Wellesley, whose hus band is also tUe brother of an earl and the cousin of the , uke of Wellington, is Kitty Vaughan, the pspneer skirt dancer of the Gaioty Theater company. This from Paris: Ex-Queon Isabella of Spain-gorgeously dressed and jeweled, very decollette, and full of gay spirits-was the leading personage at the Princess Leon's fancy ball in Paris last week. The hostess wore one of the prettiest of till the fancy costumes-a Marie Antoinette court dress of brocade in silver and pink stripes and doral pattern. The bodice was a directoire coat in bright green with diamond buttons, and the head dress was a light green hat with a lobg, dark green ostrich plume and a pink lining. The costume quadrille of the even ing represented the four points of the'lom pass, and was the opening of the ball, Princess Radziwill being the east, the Duchess de Luynes the west, Mile. do Luynes the south, and Mile. do Brantes the north. r ace get-up ' was wonderfully tasty and effective; Mille. de lirantes, who entered in a sledge pushed by a gentleman in the guise of a white bear, wore white, all pow dered with snips of swansdown like flakes of snow, and sparkles of glass and steel dust to symbolize frost. Mile. du Luynes represented the sunny south in a dazzling blaze of jeyels, like fireflies and the fires of tropical sunbeams, and was borne into the bal1-room in a luxurious silken curtained palanquin. Princess iladziwill, as the orient, wasolad i. a Japanese costume, and came into the company in a little carriage drawn by a counlo of Jap . The Duchess de Luynesas the civilized and cultured west had adopted the fashion of the Louis XVI. era; and made her entry in a sedan chair of that period, borne by powdered lackeys, and attended by cavaliers in court dress. Some of the other fair ladies at Princess Leon's ball looked splendid in their quaint disguises; the beautiful Marquise Hervey de Saint Denys was Minerva, in a white satin draped in antique folds, and a pale pink corsage with a corlet of traey satin, em broidered with gold. Over this fell a cloth of-gold mantle, line I with antique velvet; and the head dress was of grey and gold, like the corslet. The Duchess de Gramont was dressed a la bourgeoise, of the Revolu tion epoch. The jaunty petticoat was of black, yellow and white pokmn, draped with black tulle, and black satin bodice, with big basques, opened over a waistcoat match ing the petticoat; while the duchess wore a huge hat of blue tulle, with plumes stick ing right up on the top. Princess Murat was gaily dressed as a barlequinette of the Louis XV. veriod, in rose color and white; Princess Ernest de Liene, in a rose and cream brocatelle, with garlands of roses, was ii columbine. The Countess Aimery dc Ia Rochefoucauld was a charming Marie Antoinette, after the por trait by Collett, in arey- satin and English point. The young liancee in whose honor the fete was given, the Prineess do Leon's daughter, who is soon to become the Duchesse de Montmorency, had got herself oi as a columbine of Henry lll.'s epoch. Her white satin robe had is bo:der of silver and a collar and trimmings in guipure lace, and tier little henry Ill. mantel was of rich ruby velvet. She wore a tquoe to match, triimmed with long white feathers, that looked well on the ruby velvet. A fashionable milliner is showing some corsets specially ordered for the trousseau of 1i iincess Louise, of Schleswig, grand daughter of Quees Victoria. 'they are made of the new nmaterial called silk con title, and are bound with plush and lined with silk, the boning and the out bein-i each perfectly exquisite of its kind. (Lie pair is in pink and the other in blue, and there are petticoats to match esch color in a similar kind of material. The pink one has ona deep flounce of silk veiled with Valoncionnes lace and a balaycuse of silk and lace. The blue one is made in the 5anme way, except that it has two narrow flounces, headed by bonillonees of blue silk. At a meeting of the Foui-in-linud club the princess of Wales wore a black velvet dress with ii beaded silk ianutie and semall biack bonnet, while her daughters were iii biscuit cloth tailor-made suits and black straw hats.

I Copyright, 181, New York Aaeoriateut I'rsee.] hlriiiiuu, June 20.-The formation of ii great central Eurovean customs league is in lccomplished fact, acknowledged by of Ilcial circles. The oeohange of counnui Dations between Germany, Austria, Itun gary, Italy and Switzerlund has resulted in a basie of agreeument which became known lire to-day. Interest in the realization of lbe most formidable zolivorsin over con :oevered will overtop that in every public t matter when the suhiem is generally pub lished. In the meantime. the uticial circle done knows that negotiations have at- < bained deoinitely a successful Matto. The I leris uiloni which coumnercial union i was agreed are nsent to be held secret un- m Ill alter the plenotlenti rlanes {repav it traft of thirtreaty. A conference for this purpose has been arranged to mset at Ilerne July 20. The league Is to be an in timate commercial alliance, In which no one of the contracting powers will be priv ileged to form a trade treaty with any other outside the union unless it first obtains the assent of the other parties. It is under stood here that the government has ob tained the conser~t of the federal states of Germany to the renunciation of the treaty of Frankfurt and to the acceptance of whatever grave consequence may arise from the hostility of France to such a course. The existence of the league will naturally affect trading relations of the contracting powers with France, England, the United htatus, and every quarter of the globe. How far this independent action will be controlled depends upon the nature of the decisions of the larna conference. The emperor closed the landeag to day in a characteristic manner. lie congratulated himself and the country upon petting from the upper and lower house of the landtag nearly all that his ministers had demanded. During the course of his speech, his majesty said: "Though the aims I constantly hold in view have not been wholly at tained, I and my people may niever theesa derive just satisfaction from the fact that a necessary and valuable system of taxation and primary conditions and a valuable basis have been agreed upon for renorm in the system of taxation, and pri mary conditions have been by law determined for the improvement of the communal institutions in the rural districts of Prussia." These references to projectswhich had been forced upon the upper house were listened to in gloomy silence. The emperor then proceeded to express the hope that the tax ation questions still remaining un settled would find equally satifao tory settlement. He trusted the newly enacted commual laws would be carried out with due regard to the old time institution. This, he said, will secure the development of communal districts and draw closer ties uniting the people to the monarchy. Touching upon ecclesiastical affairs, the emperor said he noted with pleasure that the restitution to the Cat iolio church of clerical stipen is stopped during the kultnrkompf was resulting in an essen tial advance of the settlement of differences between the church and state, and also in the maintenance of religious peace. He became all the better assured the more the conviction gained ground that the claims the church put forward required to be con fined to measures compatible with duties of state. In concluding his speech, alluding to the foreign situation, his majesty said: "Considering that the session now about to close will be attended with fruitful re sults, I and my people may cherishthe hope that these results will be turned to gbod no count while we continue to enjoy the bless inugs of peace, which I have no reason to apprehend will he imperiled, and ±Ae pr es ervation of which is the object of my unre mitting endeavors." The emperor's reference to the further demands of clericals related to the revival of proposals that the redemptori sts 'nd Jesuiets have recognized status in Ger many. Bavaria has asked the bundesrath to admit redemptorists, and the question has been referred to a commission. It is the general belief, however, that the bundes math will inally refuse to make report on the subject. r Je niteichsanzeiger. official, states that l Germa commercial and mercantile aesoci t Lions are now actively giving attention to details of their preparation for taking part t in the Chicago Columbian fair. As soon as an approximate estimate can be made of q $1iitent of German industries which will " participate, which will probably be about the beginning of autumn, an imperial comn missioner will place himself in communica tion with the leading representatives of the industries. An agent of the government will proceed to the United States towards the and of the year. A great religious function will open at Treves August 20, when the rarely seen "holy coat" will be exhibited in the cathe I dral of St. Peter and St. Helen there. The "holy coat" is a relic which has been pro served with the greatest reverence in the Treves cathedral for many years and is es teemed as its greatest treasure. It is al leged to be the seamless coat worn by our Savior. It is said to have been discovered by Empress Helena during her memorable visit to Pal estine in the fourth century. After numer one vicissitudes, the coat was deposited in the cathedral of St. Peter and St. Helen, and since the year 1198 has, at exceedingly long intervals, been exhibited to the faith ful. Miraculous curative proserties have been ascribed to the relic. The exhibition of the "holy coat" in '44 is memorable for the reaction which it produced, leading to the secession of German Catholics from the church of Rome. UURE FOR LEPROSY. Said to Have Been Found at Last In India. LONDON, June 20.-The report of the lep rosy committee, which has been inquiring since November last into the conditions under which this disease spreads ond hi teds in India, is approaching completion. The commission is now sitting at Simla prepar ing its report, which will present the most exhaustive scientific study of the subject ever given to the world. Tho commission, which is composed of medical expe~ts, has visited the leper hospital and studied the conditions of lepers in prison, in the streets and in some of the isolated places. Every part of India whe-o leprosy prevails has been locally studied with a view to ascertain how far the conditions of envtronments assist in propa gating the disease. Somue thousands of cases have been ex aimined, microscopic researches made into the destruction of the supposed haccilus of leprosy, and a serice of baeteriological in vestigations conducted, which are said to have given astonishing results, promising is cure for this hithe-to ir'emoediablc curse.

At Fort Scott the water poured down for half an hour, the storm having the appearayce of a cloudburst. Dams were wished away and creeks swollen to vast proportions, flooding the bottoms to the dep of four or five feet, endangering lives of tniny farm ers. Occupants of houses eeohped as best they could. Some climbed trees while others were rescued by relief parties ia boats. One of the relief boats was manned by John Connalin, Jr., and F. W. Bowman, members of the First company. 'Ih'ir boat proved leaky and had to be r, ricdoned. Cornnalin was urowned. The far mere from the surrounding country report great loee to standing eroies, iggregating rot less than Sti,0ng00. Many of the bridges were washed away. At Arkansas City the storm developed into a cyclone. Little damage was done in the city, but fifteen miles from the city the cyclone destroyed the hornee of John Bowman, . Bennett, Fanm Brown, K. Kersey and Wii iam Brown. Elizabeth Bowman, mother of John Bow man, was fatally injured. Mary barns and granaries were wrecked. The damage to crops in a ramius of twenty miles from Ar anseas City is estimated It $50,000. At Emporia the storm was a per fect tornado, accompanied by extraordinary rain.

About 2,000 acres of wheat were ruined, entailing a loss of $ ,000. The storm could not have come at a worse time for the crops. Wheat was juas ready for the reaper and at some places had already been cut and stacked. Much of it where the storm raged is a total loss 9nd the re rnainder badly damaged. Corn had just got ii fair start and was in no condition to withstand fhe heavy storm. Much of is was washed away and much will have to be replanted. Comparatively meagre reports have been received from the country dis tricts and a full estimate of the damage to crops cannot be made. From the facts at hand, however, it is estimated the total lose will not fall short of half a million dollars. An Illinois Cyclone. ST.
