By the Associated Press.
New Yobk, July I.—The rich Realisa
tion stakes were contested for at Sheeps
head Bay today, and won by Brown &
Rogers' unnamed colt by Troubadour,
out of Sunbeam, after a most exciting
finish, with Jarnee R. & Foxhall Keene's
St. Leonard's second, and Sir Walter
third, while Boundless, the winner of
the American Derby at Chicago last
Saturday, was badly beaten and finished
next to last.
It was a beautiful day, and a very
large crowd was present. St. Leonard's
was the favorite in the books at even
money, Boundless being second choice
at Bto 5. Sir Waller was third choice,
and the Sunbeam colt next.
In the start Sir Walter and Ramapo
had a slight advantage, but Accident
eet out to make the running and
kept the front until nearing.
the far turn ib the back
stretch. Then Sir Walter and St.
Leonard's moved up, the pace quick
ened and Accident dropped to tbe rear,
where he eventually finished. Bound
less also had enough just before the
turn for home, and a groan went up
from his thousands of backers as he
dropped toward the rear.
Sir Walter was first in the stretch, St.
Leonard's catching him rapidly. Sud
denly tbe Sunbeam colt poked his muz
zle in front and a furious finish followed,
during which he held his place, despite
all the efforts of the jockeys of St.,
Leonard's and Sir Walter to get to the
front.
The track was good. Summary:
Seven furlongs—Lifeboat won. Faith
ful second, Ingot third; time, 1:30.
Six furlongs—Hornpipe won. Declare
second, Galilee third ; time, 1:12 1-6.
Seven furlongs— VValcott won. Oar

1:23.
Four furlongs—Kazan won. Faustina

0:493,.
One mile and five furlongs—Sunbeam
(colt) won, St. Leonard's second, Sir
Walter tbird ; time, 2 :S0 3-5, Ramapo,
Boundless and Accident also ran.
Six furlongs—Sirocco won. Kingston
second, Promenade tbird; time, 1:13 1-5.

years.

1893—Sunbeam colt 107 2 SO/i
The value of the race fluctuates from
year to year, according to tbe number
that declare out at $50, or at $25, as the
case may be. It is a very easy race to
get into and a very hard one to get
out' of. The highest value it ever had
was in 1889, when Salvator won it; and
the lowest was in 1891, when Potomac
won it. Salvator's was worth $34,150 to
him; and Potomac's was $25,770. The
probabilities are that the race' will be
worth at least $20,000 to the owners of
the wonderful dark horse that has won
this, tbe richest of all our 3-year-old
events.

then her only rival, Maid Marian,
dropped *behind, and the race for first
place was over. The first half-mile was

CORBETT AND MITCHELL.
The Columbian Athletic Club Secure*
the Great Battle.
Chicago, July I.—The Columbian
Athletic club of Chicago has about
clinched the International heavy-weight
championship battle between Oorbett
and Mitchell. Corbett had already
signed conditional articles of agreement
to fight Mitchell before the Coney
LPS ANGELES: SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1893.
Island club for a purse of $40,000. Pres
ident O'Malley of the Columbian club
felt sure that Mitchell would never con
sent to fight for the Coney Island club
if there was any way out of it. He
started agents after Mitchell, and in the
meantime secured Corbett's sig
nature to an agreement which in
effect states that If Mitchell
will not accept the Coney Island
agreement Jtie, Corbett, Will accept the
terms of the Columbian Athletic club,
namely $45,000. Furthermore, if Mit
chell should default and fail to meet
him for the title of tbe heavy-weight
championship of the world, be agrees to
take on, in Mitchell's place, Peter Jack
son.
Three hours after Corbett had signed,
a cable was received from McDonald in
London, saying: "Mitchell accepts
$45,000 offer. I have signed for him
temporary articles pending tUe arrival
of final. Have pot.ted £500 forfeit for
you with Atkinson of the Sporting
Life."
Then Dick Roach, Jack MeAuliffe's
backer, turned up with a cablegram
from Atkinson, saying: "Mitchell and
McAuliffe both accept Columbian purses
and await final articles."
Under the provisions of the articles
the club posts a guarantee of $10,000
that tbe contest will be brought to a
decisive finish without interference of
any sort. The articles of agreement
provide that the fight be to a finish and
come off between the Ist and 20th days
of December, 1893, Qieensberry rules,
the winner to take the entire purse
without reservation. •
London, July 1. —T. A. Edge, an Eng-»
liah bicyclist, finished today a 1000-mile
road road race, beating the world's rec
ord for the distance, in 5 hours 4!) min

New York, July I.—Crimson banners
'and badges are at a premium tonight.
The Harvard university baseball nine
conquered the blue-legged Yates at the
polo grounds this afternoon and won the
college championship. Harvard played
with snap and vim, fielded cleanly and
hit tbe ball at the rigbt time. The
Vales were plucky, but were outplayed.
There wbb considerable betting, most of
tbe welters be'n<r. laid at ecbae, but tho
great mass of Harvard men, having lost
heavily on the boat race, preferred to
sit still and hope for victory.
Yale won the toss and took the field.
There were fully 10,000 persons on the
ground when the play began. Yale
yelled the loudest and longest until the
very end, though the Harvard backers
were no less demonstrative in applaud
ing their team. From the time MaßOn
lined out the b;.ll into center field for a
clßnn home run to the terminatio.i in
the ninth inning, it was sharp,
quick work. They put out little
Murphy at second and ucopped the ac
cumulation of several prospective
ecotes. Harvard may be Baid to have
won upon general all-round good piny •
ing. Yale made bad slip-ups at critical
points.
When Harvard had won the cham
pionship, everything was crimson. The
team was fairly smothered, while the
Vales walked silently to their carriages,
wondering how it all happened. They
were out-played and there is no gain
saying it.
The score by inings:
Yale —0 0020000 2—4
Harvard —1 0030002 o—l>
Getting Even With Strikers.
Topbka, Kan., July I.—A short time
ago the daily working time of the Santa
Fe shop hands was reduced from 10 to 8
hours. Now an order is issued directing
that enough men be discharged to re
duce the expenses 20 per cent. The dis
charged men are all mechanics and
blacksmiths and boilermakers. One of
the discharged men said: "The company
wants to get even with the strikers.
With the exception of two or three, all
the discharged men are members of the
union, and went out on a strike. I
don't know what the union will do
about it. A meeting will ba held to
night." £
A Pullman Farter Killed.
Robeburo, Ore., July I.—A Pullman
Bleeper on overland No. 15 this morning
about 7 o'clock jumped the track at the
north switch as the train was pulling
out at Delta. The car turned over
against the bank. The Pullman porter,
R. Walker, was caught under the car
and killed. No others were injured.
Roadmaster Mott says he cannot tell
what caused the accident.
Death of a Noted Sculptor.
Nbw York, July 1. —James Alex
ander Blankenehip, the sculptor, died
today from the result of an operation
performed for appendfeitis. He was
born in Virginia in 1859. He was one
of those who received medals awarded
by the world's fair commissioners to
artists who distinguished themselves by
excellence in their work.

Pittsburg, July I.—The conference
of the manufacturers of the Pittsburg

Rearrangement of the Military
Departments.
The Erstwhile Department of Ari

Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona
Urnnped Together and the Old
Department or California
Re-established.
By the Associated Press.
Washington, July L —The president,
before leaving Washington yesterday,
signed an order reorganizing the mili
tary department of Arizona under the
name of the department of Colorado,
with headquarters at Denver. The de
partment of Arizona consisted of tho
territories of New Mexico and Arizona,
and that portion of California south of
the 35th parallel. The new order abol
ishes the department of Arizona, and
places Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and
Colorado in the new department. Cali*
fornia is restored to the department of
California, with headquarters at Ban
Erancisco. This change has been urged
by the military authorities for a year
past. The headquarters of the depart
ment of Arizona was at Los Angeles,
placing General McCook', commanding
the department, at the extreme western
part of hie department. This caused
great delay in communicating with
army headquarters at Washington, as
all matters in his section were sent to
him and by him to Washington. With
headquarters at Denver he will be at the
extreme east of tbe department and in
closer communication with Washington.
This, it is believed, will effect economy
in time and money and will greatly fa
cilitate the disbursement of supplies and
ammunition. General McCook will
command the new department.
MILITARY INDIAK AGENTS.
The president has appointed tbe fol
lowing army officers as Indian agents:
Captain A. L. Myer, Eleventh infantry,
San Carlos agensy; Captain J.W. Bubb,

General Sahorield has received reports

that the shooting of one of their number

and the injured man is now recovering.
The troops will not be withdrawn for

THS Hl3 A Til TRIAL.
Opening: of the I>efon«e—Slra. McWhirter
the Vint Wltnaes.
Fkhsno, July I.—The defense in the
trial of Richard 8. Heat for the murder
of McWhirter opened today. The ses
sion, which was short, was characterized
by long arguments i.ujection. The
first witness called was Mrs. McWhirter,
who testified that her husband and
Heath were friendly. She said Heath
called after the murder and asked to act
as pall-bearer at the funeral. She had
heard her husband say Heath was a
good fellow when not in tbe hands
of bad companions or in drink; then
he was all wrong. M. M'Parsons tes
tified that McWhirter was an intimate
friend of Heath. The defense tried to
show by tbe witness that he had told
Heath and I. M. Luttrell the scandalous
story about a young married man's wife
and McWhirter, which Hoath after
wards told to newspaper reporters in
San Francisco; but the court ruled out
the evidence. Then followed testimony
in regard to the decoy letter sent to
Polley, which gave rise to long argu
ments on the part of counsel. After
wards the court adjourned until Monday.
A Bad State for Inani-anee Men.
Nashville, Term., July 1. —Owing to
the fact that foreign insurance, compan

ance men held here, adopted a resolu
tion advising all companies doing busi
ness in the state to at once
suspend operations. Under the
provisions of the law foreign
companies which file charters claim
they are liable to be taxed on their
capital stock. Saventeen companies
withdrew this afternoon. So far about
half the companies doing business in

FORCED TO THE WALL.
The Largest Car Works la the Oonntry
Compelled to Assign.
St. Louis, July I.—The Madison Car
company, which was concerned in pro
testing a note handled by Post, Martin
& Co., a few days ago, assigned at Ed
wardsville, 111., today. Liabilities, 11 .
-222,000; assets about the same.
The workß of the company, the largest
in the country, located at Madison, 111.,
have given employment to 2000 men.
It hss been selling a good many freight
cars on time, and being unable to realize
on accounts, went to the wall.
When the newß reached St. Louis it
created great consternation among
brokers, as all the parties interested are
heavily concerned in a number of big
local enterprises. The Madison Car
works are controlled by what is known
as the Granite Mountain people, who
are also behind the Merchants' bridge,
the Security buildings and a number of
mining enterprises. Six months agothe
company bonded itself for $500,000.
This was used to pay off outstanding in
debtedness and eularee the plant, and
this is known to have left the company
plenty of working capital. The works
are running their full working cauacity
and turning out between 40 and 50 cars
per day.
Mejor Rainwater, one of the leading
members of the company, says it was
embarrassed by paper they had endorsed
and which was not paid at maturity.
This paper was received by the company
in a settlement of accounts, etc. Major
Rainwater bad no idea how much of
this paper was in existence.
The works are located at Madison, at
the east end of the Merchants' bridge.
The concern is one of the largest of the
kind in the United States. It was tbe
intention of the capitalists, who operat
ed the plant to make the town another
such place as Pullman, and the project
was meeting with much puecess.
IT WAS DOMINION DAY.
A CANADIAN" CELEBRATION AT THE
WORLD'S FAIR.
The Dead March Flayed In Front or the
Model or the 111-Fated Battle-
Ship Victoria—Preparing
for the Fourth.
Chicago, July 1. —This was Dominion
day at the White City. Canadians pre
dominated. This was the twenty-sixth
anniversary of the establishment of the
present government. The Dominion
building was dedicated. The sky was
overhuug with clouds, threatning rain.
The exercises at the building were en
tirely informal. Thsn civic and social
organizations formed and marched to
the transportation building, where a
band played the dead milch ir. front of
the model of the ill-fated battleship
Victoria; then the procession moved to
festival ball where the formal exercises
were held, consisting of addresses and
music.
Despite the threatening clouds no rain
fell, and the day on the whole was a
most enjoyable one. There were no
special celebrations besides those of the
Canadians, but a numbsr of building
dedications are schedule-it [or next weak,
besides the great 4sh of July celebra
tion.
Mrs. Palmer, president of the board
of lady managers, baa issued a call for a
special meeting of that body at tbe
woman's building, July 7th, to ratify
the appointment of the women judges
on the juries of award and other mat
ters.
The arrangement for the Fourth of
July celebration are nearly complete.
It was thought there would be no par
ade, db the ceremonies committee had
practically decided not to admit tbe
state militia or other organizations free.
On hearing this Governor Altgeld tele
graphed from Springfield to Director-
General Davis that the first brigade of
Illinois national guard had volunteered
to participate in the parade without pay,
but if each soldier had to pay 50 cents
admission there would be no troops.
Director-General Davis replied this
afternoon that troops would be admitted
free, and the adjutant-general has or
dered General Wheeler, commanding the
first brigade, to have his troops partici
pate.
The attendance for the day is esti
mated at about 125,000 paid admis
sions.
The national world's fair commission
met at noon. No quorum was present,
so it adjourned till Monday. President
Palmer thinks of resigning, being com
pelled to be absent a month or six
weeks, and not liking to aek for so long
a vacation.
Mrs. Stanford Acoepta Her Trust.
San Francisco, July 1. —Mrs. Jane
Lathrop Stanford today signified her
acceptance of tbe trust imposed on her
by the will of her late husband, Leland
Stanford, by filing her petition for the
probate of the will and announcing her
willingness to act as sole executrix. It
appears from the terms of Mrs. Stan
ford's petition that she has no intention
of availing herself of the provisisn of the
will which names four gentlemen as
alternate directors if she desires to secure
their services.
Detonic Will Far Hollar for Dollar.
San Rafael, Oal., July I.—The
creditors of State Senatar DeLong, who
failed last week, held a meeting today
and appointed Henry Pierce assignee.
Pierce took possession of the property.
The liabilities of DeLong aggregate
$600,000, but a rough canvass of the
assets today confirms the former im
pression that DeLong will be able to
pay dollar for dollar.
A Firebug- Sentenced to the Gallows,
Ahotin, Wash., July I,—Charles Myers,
who fired the City hotel at Lewistou,
Indiana, last March, causing the death
of one of the inmates, has just been con
victed of murder in the flrot degree and
sentenced to be banged September Ist.
A Sand Company Fails.
Pittsburg, July I.—The Spear White
Sand company has assigned. Liabilities,
$60,000; assets, $200,000. Stringency in
the money market and the complete
abut down of the glass factories are the
cause.

By the Associated Pre**
San Fkancisco, July I.—A ipecial from i
Washington to an evening paper says:
Now that the president has called con
gress together the all important ques
tion is What will it do? Aa a matter of
fact nobody can tell. The house, which
is always more amicable to the executive
than the senate, will probably repeal
the Sherman law, bnt not without a
fight. Bland and other free eilver men
will exhaust every privilege allowed
them under tbe rules to delay the action
and will filibuster just as long as they
are permitted, but it is virtually set
tled by the Democrats that the
next house will partake of
the nature of the Reed rules*
Filibustering will be reduced to
the minimum. Indeed it is no secret
that the Democrats of the house intend
to follow very closely upon the Reed
rules in some respects. The house will
be organized under pressure. Speaker
Crisp will be re-elected. He will ar
range the committees expeditiously,
and in the mean time the committee on
rules, which will be appointed first, will
proceed to prepare a code of rules.
There will be certain provisions delib
erately signed to prevent the friends oi
silver from delaying the vote on the re
peal of the Sherman act. In tbe south
end of the Capitol, at least, the presi
dent's programme will be carried out.
The opposition at the other end will
be more effective. Senators Stewart
and Jones [of Nevada, together with
other silver advocates, will make a de
termined fight. They will oppose
the repeal of tbe silver law, un
less legislation more favorable to
silver be offered as a substitute. That
will not be conceded. The Republicans
and Democrats who demand the repeal
of the Sherman act will insist upon its
immediate repeal. There will be no
previous question in the senate-, no way
whatever of curtailing the debate, ex
cept oy fixing the hour for the final
vote, and then making it a question of
physical endurance. Stewart is a long
and enduring talker himself and could
consume a week at least. There is no
way of changing the senate rules so as
to cut off debate. That would not be
tolerated. It would be contrary to the
established usages. The president him
self has entertained a doubt as to
whether the majority of the senate
would vote to repeal the Sherman act.
He is not yet entirely convinced that a
majority wilt promptly show upon that
aide.
THE EXTRA SESSION CALL.
It, Was nailed With Joy by the XLoaay
Karons of Now York.
New York, July 1. —There ia but one
opinion as to the effect of President
Cleveland's call for an extra session of
congress in the commercial community,
and that is that it must necessarily im
prove matters. For a long time mer
chants had been unable to obtain ac
commodation at banks at anything
like lair rates, for tbe reason that the
banks were compelled to husband their
resources, because of the uncertainty re
garding the future. The local bank
officials, almost to a man, pointed to
the Sherman silver law as the great
disturbing factor. With the removal of
what they term the prime cause of the
present financial distress, i. c., the
compulsory purchase of silver—and
nearly every banker whose opinio*
is entitled to be quoted agrees
that the call for an extra session of con
gress wsb only issued after it was reason
ably certain that the Sherman law
ehould be repealed—the banks of New
York are inclined to deal more liberally
with merchants. There is already mors
disposition to buy good paper but not in
any value to speak of. The gain made
lies in the fact that the administration
having determined to do something to
alleviate the distress In financial circles,
capital which has been locked up for a
long time past, is now Becking employ
ment confident that congress will find a
way to remedy the defect in our mone
tary system. A return to normal rates
in the market for mercantile paper may
be looked for in the early future. Sales
of paper, not prime, were made today at
15 per cent, but the ruling rate for tbe
very best names was about eight per
oent. Loan certificates for $1,570,000
were issued today to clearing bouse
banks, making the total to date $15,800,
---000.
The president's proclamation was
hailed with profound gratification in
financial and business circles every
where this morning. Men hi all
brunches of business were loud in prune
ol Cleveland's action. In Wall street
the fact was to a certain extent dis
counted yesterday by a rumor that such
a step had been decided upon, so that
the effect on prices this morning on the
stock exchange was not so marked,
compared with the close yesterday, bat
when compared with the lowest Had
opening prices yesterday, or the prima
of the day before, the improvement is at
once seen to be very great, the differ
ence in Borne cases being as much as 8
points.
Speaking of the .proclamation this
morning,J.Pierpont Morgan,the head of
Drexel, Morgan <£ Co., said: "I am
perfectly delighted that Cleveland has
called an extra session, and think his
action will have a very beneficial effect
everywhere."
George Magoun. of Baring, Magoun &
Co., said: "I think tho proclamation is
