MATCH RACE BETWEEN THE AB

FALLEN THROIOH
TEN THOUSAND FOE CHARITY
Boston Man Tarns His Deposit Over
to Boston Institutions—Scannell
Will Back The Abbot for
$50,000.
NEW YORK, March 20.—William I*.
Marks, representative of John J. Scan
nell, and Jack Roach, representing Thom
as W. Lawson, met in this city today for
the purpose of arranging a match be
tween the trotters The Abbot and Bo
ralma, but failed to come to terms and
the match was declared off. Mr. Scan
nell insisted on having three out of five
heats, to which Mr. Lawson's represent
ative objected, preferring that four out
of sevez* heats should be the conditions.
Mr. fecar.nell said he was now ready to
race his horse. The Abbot, against any
horse in th**, world for $50,000, best three
out of five heats, the gate receipts to go
to charity.
Mr. L^»son tonight sent to two Bos
ton c^irities, the West End Nursery
and tne Crippled Children's home, one
half each of the deposit of $10,000 which
he put up through his New York repre
sentative to bind a race with Ahe Abbot.
These are the institutions Mr. Lawson
had selected to receive the $25,000 guar
anteed gate rt-ceipta if Boralma defeat
ed The Abbot, Mr. Scannell having
agreed to accept charities in New York
as the recipients in case his horse won.
But the race having fallen through, Mr.
Lawson decided that his first deposit of
$10,000 should go for a worthy cause.
In a statement tonight Mr. Lawson
said he regretted the race had fallen
through, but he had no desire to criti
cise the actions of others in connection
with the matter. He reviewed the nego
tiations and the reason for their failure,
and translerring his gift of 510,000 to the
institutions, he concluded with these
words: "With this I hope all interested
friends of the horses will call the inci
dent closed."

Trotting to Be Revived at Hamline
anil Minnehaha Tracks.
The managers of the tracks at Minne

prospects for a series of entertaining
races early in July are most excellent.
There have been no professional rac^s
in Minneapolis since 1896, when the wind
wrecked the stand of the Minneapolis
Driving club at the Minnehaha grounds.
. Through the efforts of R. F. Jones, who
conducted many high-class and profita

grounds, admission to the Great Western
circuit was gained in Decemb?r last, and
an alliance was formed with the St. Paul
Driving club, giving the Twin Cities two

effects of the well known remedy,

California Fig Sybup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa

jaedicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per

weeks' trotting and pacing for the early
season of 1901. Mr. Jones says:
We have again formed an association
under the old name of the Minneapolis
Driving club, which dissolved and went
out of business during '96 and '97. We
have ample funds pledged, not only to
equip the grounds with new stands, ta
bles and other needs, but the backing to
put on the best of attractions performing
on trotting tracks. T\ hile we have been
idle for a few years, we feel that we
were but going through the cleansing:
process, and many of the barnacles of the
trotting turf have been gotten rid of.
We are now booking stabling for outside
trainers, and but few stalls remain un
rentod at 'Haha, although the season has
not yet opened. Among the prominent
outside stables to engage quarters here
for the season of '01 may be mentioned
that of David B. Staples, of Stillwater,
who yesterday leased ten stalls for six
months' use in the stable known as the
"Club" stable, which consists of forty
fine box stalls. Mr. Staples Is a son of
the late Isaac Staples, of Stillwater who
owned the Lilly Lake Driving park there
Mr. Staples will bring his family to Mini
neapolis for the summer and may make
this his permanent home.
The programme provides for a four
days' meeting, with fourteen races and
purses averaging $500 each. The 2:35
trotting Derby, whlcli is a three-mile
dash, promises to bo a feature, and it is
expected the purse of $1,000 will draw out
a large entry.

CHARLIE ZIMMER «U ITS.
President of Players' Protective As
sociation Oat of Baseball.
CLEVELAND, March 20.—President
Charles Zimnu r, of the Players' Protec
tive association, and who last jear play
ed with tl»e Pittsburg National league
club, today announced his retirement as
a professional baseball player. It is un
derstood that the dissatisfaction and un
favorable comment expressed by many
players over Zimmer's action at the re
cent meeting of the National league led
him to take the step. Zimmer says he
has returned his contract for this season
to the Pittsburg club unsigned.
Speaking of his retirement, Zimmer
said:
"I have been charged with double
dealing and everything else by members
of the Protective association, notwith
standing that I succeeded in getting from
the National lengue magnates the precise
concessions the players demanded. I de
sire to reiterate once more that I acted
solely for the beat interests of the play
ers, and with no selfish motive, as some
of the latter continued to assert."
Zimmer has a private business in this
city which, he says, insures him a livli
hood without playing baseball.

WASHINGTON, March 20.—1n a report
to the state department. Consul General
Guerither, at Frankfort, Germany, sub
mits a recent publication in which the
Frankfort chamber of commerce call 3
attention to the growing American com
petition in the markets of the world. The
publication says that the harbor au
thorities of Calcutta advertised for bids
on locomotives The lowest English bid was
$7,249 for each one, the time of dcliv ry
to be limited to nine months; the lowest
American bid was $5,095, the time of do
livery to be limited to six months. The
American firm received the contract. A
recent contract for furnishing a large
quantity of cast iron pipes for the Dutch
colonies was awarded to an American
firm, which bid was nearly 25 per cent
lower than German competitors. Large
orders for rails recently were placed in
American hands from Holland. The Eng
lish government has been obliged to give
the Americans preference over their own
works on account of the extremely low
prices and the quick time of delivery.
The consul says American -jompetition
will be greatly felt, especially in the
Chinese market after the hostilities shall
cease.
The state department has received from
Consul Marshall Halstead, at Birming
ham, a report stating that the Birming
ham Daily Mail is responsible for the
statement that a "ring" of English tube
makers, by excessive demands at the last
bidding, forced the Birmingham gas com
mittee to purchase American-made tub
ing for fittings. The British quotation,
says the consul, were so high that an
American firm succeeded in selling tub
ing "at a figure which no one in England
could touch, r.nd not only was the price
cheap, but the quality was vastly su
perior."
Although the combination, says the con
sul in conclusion, is not so strong this
year, "so satisfactory has the American
product proved that it will hardly be
surprising if the gas committee, now
ready for a new purchase, asks for ten
ders from America.

ANDREW CARXEGIE.
NEW YORK, March 2Q.-The World
will say tomorrow:
Another handsome gift from Andrew
.Carnegie will be announced in a few
days. It became known yesterday that
Mr. Carnegie has offered $5,000,000 to an
other American city for the purpose of
building libraries. Philadelphia is the
new recipient of the Ironmaster s bounty.
It is reported that Mr. Carnegie has of
fered to build libraries aggregating $5,000,
--000 in value, on. similar conditions to
those attending his offer in New York.
It is expected a decision will be reached
within a week.
The World yesterday interviewed sev
eral of Mr. Carnegie's closest friends in
this city, and they all agreed in saying
the 55,000,000 gift will soon be announced.
"I am not prepared to say that Phila
delphia is to be the beneficiary,"' said
one of the gentlemen, "but from the
trend of Mr. Carnegie's remarks during
the last few days, I know he contem
plates doing something handsome for
that city.
"However. I am safe in saying that a
fifth of $5,000,000 as a gift to some Amer
ican city will be announced. The $1,009.
--000 is to be used In building- libraries,
and the city will probably be Philadel
phia. Mr. Carnegie has had a great deal
Qf love for Philadelphia, and he enter
tains a high feeling of regard for the
people of that city."

tional tone, without accentuating the im
portance of it by tone or gesture. Ho
also spoke guardedly and carefullj', bo
that no false Inferences could be drav/n
from his admission that the negotiations
had. failed. Lord Kitchener was credited
with offering te:ms v hich Gen. Botha
was not disposed to recommend to the
other Boer leaders. The responsibility
for the continuation of guerrilla warfare
tc the bitter end consequently rests with
Gen. Botha and those with whom he ha 3
consulted.
This was the impression which Mr.
Chamberlain clearly meant to convey.
The fact that he had made the explana
tion proved that Sir Alfred Mllner, rather
than Lord Kitchener, has been attempt
ing to negotiate with the Boer leaders
since, otherwise Mr. Brodrick would have
been the one to announce the unpleasant
news. The promptness with which the
full details of the negotiations arc prom
ised indicated a desire on the part o f
the government that the terms offered to
the Boers may be known for the moral
effect here and in South Africa.
The ministerialists accepted Gen. Bo
tha's answer philosophically, as a proof
that the war must go on until the Boer
leaders were captured, and that the
chancellor of the exchequer might as
well pigeonhole hJ3 mo-e favorable budget
and warn taxpayers to prepare for the
worst, the sugar duty as well as the In
creased income tax. The pro-Boer Lib
erals, who are looking tor strange revela
tions from Holland, are predicting that
Gen. Botha will have a version of the
negotiations quite different from the one
authorised by the colonial office
