TALKS OF WAR.
Feeling of Unrest Pervading
Continental Countries.
Eiitojs of the Porte Summoned to Constanti
nople—Success of Franco-Russian
Diplomacy— England's Action.
■Cer.VTl'jMed. 1891, by the New York Associated
Tress.
Berlin - , Sept. 12.— There was a parade of
aU the troops stationed in the Cassel dis
trict to-day, which afforded a brilliant spec
tacle. The Emperor and Empress, King
of Saxony, Grand Duke of Hesse, Grand
Duke of Saxe-Welmar, Duke of Edinburgh,
Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia,
Prince Albrecbt and others of high rank
were preseut. Emperor William will now
go to Enfurt, where he will review the
Fourth Army Corps. Some of the phrases
used by his Majesty in his speech at the
banquet at Cassel have added to the un
easiness which now prevails throughout
the country. Ha recalled the time when,
as a staff officer, he entered Cassel In 1871
with the victorious Hessian troops. He
trusted, he said, that the Hessians, in tbe
event of foreign struggles, would help him
to fulfill his duties. Coming so soon after
the allusion made at Munich to the future
triumphs of the Bavarian troops, bis
Majesty's utterancj at Cassel is felt to be a
veiled menace to bis foreign enemies and a
warning for the country to courageously
prepare for trouble. Still, the conviction
remains unshaken in official circles that a
prolonged period of diplomatic intrigue will
precede a collision of the powers.
PBESSUBB ON TIIE SULTAN 7 .
The leading political development of the
week has been the practical adhesion of
the Italian Prime Minister. Rod to the
policy of Lord Salisbury, the English Pre
mier. The Sultan of Turkey's new bias in
the direction of favoring Russia, as instanced
in tbe Dardanelles affair, will now have to
bear the weight of the counter influence of
Austria and Italy, and probably Germany,
for it is stated ilerr v.'ii Radowttz, the
German Embassador to the Porte, at an
audience with the Sultan Wednesday urged
that a favorable hearing be given to the
views of Great Britain and that, through
bis representations. Sir William White, the
British Embassador to Turkey, was given
an audience by the Sultan yesterday.
The gravity of the situation is indicated
in the summons calling the envoys of the
f Porte at Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg and
London to Constantinople. The French
Embassador, Count of Montebello, who was
on the eve of presenting his letters of recall
to the Sultan, has been instructed by his Gov
ernment to remain at his post in order to
prevent the Sultan, under pressure of the
other diplomates, from weakening and
breaking bis resolution.
SUCCESS OF DIPLOMACY.
The latest Intelligence from Constanti
nople Indicates the continuous success of
Franco-Russian diplomacy in Turkey. The
Saltan has offered a place In the Ministry to
Cbakir Pasha, a declared partisan of the
Russian alliance, and known to be a foe of
England and the Dreibund. The Foreign
Office here regards England's difficulty with
complacency. Lord Salisbury's solicitations
for diplomatic aid force England Into a
closer union with the Triple Alliance, and
thus tends in thedirection of bringing about a
formal compact between England, Germany,
Austria nnd Italy. Hitherto Lord Salisbury
has rejected all overtures lookiug to En
gland's becoming a party to the Dreibund
compact. --
A Hamburg correspondent publishes an
article on the Dardanelles incident, and
makes the statement that Russia is pre
paring a coup by which she will seize tha
Hosnhorus. A report which Is circulated in
diplomatic circles credits England with the
Intention to seize and fortify Tenedos and
other islands at the mouth of the Dar
danelles in the event of a failure to establish
a renewed entente with the Porte. The
Post points cut how tbe Triple Alliance
may be drawn into intervening against
Kudiui's committing Italy to active armed
support of England.
THE KAISEK'S COLD RECEPTION.
The Munich Tageblatt denies the official
statement that Emperor William was ac
corded an enthusiastic reception on the oc
casion of bis Safe visit to the Bavarian
capital. On the contrary, it says, he was
received with chilly indifference by the
people. It attributes this to the fact that
the people of Bavaria see in the Emperor an
emblem of the dearness of living and the
source of an approaching war, threatening
the ruin of the country. H the Imperial
Government, the Tageblatt says, desires to
be loved instead of detestid it must cheapen
food and abide by a policy of peace.
An unsavory story is current concerning
Dr. Aveling, who Is charged with entering
Into a contract union with Eleanor Marx,
leaving his legal wife destitute. Dr. Aveling
lias written a letter to the socialist paper,
the Yorwarls, in which he says it is true
that he has dissolved his bourgeois mar
riage and entered upon a love union with
Fraulien Marx, but tie declared he left his
legal wife well provided for. Aveling pro
poses to punish the author of the report that
ins wife was in a destitute condition. The
Vorwarts says Aveling's wife, who is in
London, announces she will trace the de
tractor and give him a cowhiding.
The Chilean war ship Presidente Pinto,
. which lias caused uneasiness to several of
the powers by her attempts to procure
arms. Is lying at Hamburg with her crew
mutinous. Her commander asked the assist
ance of the police to arrest three sailors,
but as the vessel belongs to a foreign power,
the police referred the request to tha Senate.
The men are riotous and refuse to perform
their work.
nerr Rock, who fled for America after
embezzling $75,000 from the Prussian Mort
gage Bank, has been traced to a steamer
which left Hamburg last Saturday. He
doubtless will be taken Into custody upou
tbe arrival of the steamer at New York.
Berlin Is to have tbe benefit of an elevated
railroad, built on the model of those in
operation In New York, but Berliuers will
have the advantage in that the motor power
employed here will be electricity.
CHILEAN AFFAIRS.
Searching for Balmaceda— Courtesies to Amer
ican Naval Officers.
Valparaiso, Sept . 12.— The police
authorities are still prosecuting a vigorous
search throughout Santiago for the fugitive
ex-President, Balmacedei. It is now the

institutions have already been visited by
the police, but so far no trace of Balmaceda
lias been discovered.
The British war-ship Melpomene has been
ordered to China and the Champion to Es

Foreign Beet Crop.
London, Sept. 12— With improved weather
aud sunshine, beet roots are progressing
well everywhere. Favorable forecasts must
be based on the continued fine weather, be

thought the quality makes up for the weight.
Some factories are working in Moravia and
Hungary, but the bulk will not be In opera

1890; that Austria's yield will be in excess
of that of 1890 and there will be great in
crease iv the yield in France.
The Mediterranean Disaster.

TWO ADMIRALS.
Story cf the Alleged Disagreements Between
Naval Officers.
Portland (Me.), Sept. 12.— The Evening
Express to-day, over the signature of its
editor, prints the following: During the
stay of the White Squadron at Portland, an
opportunity was afforded me to learn
the facts in connection with the reports
which have been sent from certain quarters
concerning an alleged trouble between
Rear-Admiral Ghetardi and Rear-Admiral
John G. Walker. My informant was an
officer of the squadron who was a close per
sonal friend of both officers, and thoroughly
conversant with the entire affair from be
ginning to end. The public already knows
these reports lire entirely false, and yet they
are still going the rounds of the press to the
annoyance of the Navy Dei artment and
detriment of tbe service. "I was present
at the Port-au-Prince meeting," said the
officer, "and T will tell the story just ns it
happened." The first article appeared origi
nally in the New York Times, „nnd the
reason for this will be apparent when the
story unfolds. The New York Times' story
tells bow Admiral Walker at Port-au-
Prince declined to acknowledge the flag of
the Senior Commander, Admiral Gherardi,
and reprimanded Captain Phillips of the
Atlanta for obeying the signals from the
Philadelphia, -the flagship of Gherardi, in
stead of waiting the action of the Chicago,
Admiral Walker's ship.
It is also alleged that there was coldness
betweeu the two officers recently at Bar
Harbor. The facts are as follows: Admiral
Gnerardl had only his own shin — the
Philadelphia— with him. He could not
salute himself. By the naval regulations,
when he gave a signal to lower sail it
should have been repeated by the Chicago,
as Walker was then the executive officer,
before being obeyed. The Atlanta was iv
too much of a hurry, and Phillips was or
dered to the Chicago to he notified that he
must be less careless. Admiral Walker did
visit Admiral Gherardi, because he
brought him dispatches appointing him
Commissioner to couter with Piesident
Hippolyte. The only difference between the
two admirals was tnat Gherardi wanted the
fleet with him, while Walker urged that
Hippolyte might take the presence of such
a Geres display as a threat, and thus refuse
to negotiate. This Is just what Hipoolyle
did do. Gherardi acknowledged his error
and Walker sailed away.
At Bar Harbor the White .Squadron, on
arrival, was signaled by Admiral Gherardi
to anchor at discretion, and before the or
der was transmitted by the Chicago to the
White Squadron each vessel was directed
by Admiral Walker as to anchorage. Owing
to preparations for a reception on board the
Philadelphia, Admiral Gherardi failed to
send a launch to Admiral Walker's flag
ship, as required by the regulations, and
this Admiral Gherardi afterward explained
was a case of forgelfulness in the hurry and
bustle of preparations. Admirals Gherardi
and Walker observed every courtesy possi
ble toward each other and were good
friends.
As to the source of these reports, it is a
fact that the Times some time ago sent to
General Tracy an offer to gradually change
its policy and support him, and finally the
Administration, provided General Tracy
would give the Times the news of his de
partment a day ahead of all other papers.
This the Secretary refused. Then orders
were issued at the Times office to attack
the department but not the Secretary. The
Assistant Secretary, Solely, was selected
as a victim, but no crevice could be discov
ered in his armor and he was dropped.
Then orders were given to attack Gherardi
and Walker and you know the rest The
letters to the Times were written by an
officer in the United States Marines and
stationed on one of the ships, he being a
representative of the New York Times.
That is the whole story from beginning to
end. My information, rank and standing
renders the statement entirely above contra
diction." And he is in a position to know
the entire truth. When Secretary Tracy
was fogbound at Rockland the Express
wired a representative to interview him on
the subject. he Secretary said: "There
is not a word of truth in these reports. I
was in Bar Harbor all the time and no such
thing existed. The statements are false
from beginning to end."

AVA REPEATS
HER STORY.
She Says She Can Be Identified
by Chicago People,
A Clew to the Mysterious Woman Discovered
Id St Loots— Thought to Be
Diss Debar.
pedal to The Morniso Ca&c
CnrcixxATi, Sept. 12.— The identity of
the woman who mysteriously disappeared
from Chicago Wednesday evening with one
who as mysteriously appeared in this'city
last night is fully established by the de
scription given of ber by Mrs. Bolton of
Chicago. The said woman was taken be
fore the Chief of Police this morning. She
told her story In almost the identical lan
guage she used last night. Finding no cause
for holding her, the Chief of Police directed
that she be taken back to the House of De
tention to await some action by her friends.
When seen by the Associated Press repre
sentative to-day Miss Ava was entirely self
possessed, affable and dignified. Being told
that Mrs. Bolton had given a personal de
scription of her she evinced a lively interest
in its details. She was very anxious to iden
tify herself as the Miss Ava who was lost at
the college. "Tell Mrs. Bolton," said she.
"and that will Identify me better than any
thing else, that $SOOO tv money and coupons
aas in ber satchel, not mine; and
they took It and its contents. Now,
Mrs. Bolton will know from this
that I am Miss Ava." She went on
to say that she went to' the college to
attend to a matter of business. She carried
money to pay a little Jesuitical tariff, a la
McKinley. They demanded that she pub
licly renounce her Methodist laith and re
turn to the church. Refusing, she was struck
heavily on the breast by a man. Before this
her satchel, with money in it, had been
seized. The woman says from the time she
lost consciousness Wednesday until yester
day afternoon she knew nothing, except a
dim remembrance of being drenched with
water and her clothes taken off. She denies
the suggestion that she is Miss Diss Debar.
The judgment of the police is that sho is in
sane, but she carries herself with remark
able consistency for an insane woman.
When Miss Ava was told of the general
belief in Xew York and Chicago that she
was the lost Mine. Diss Debar, she was
furious in her denial. She launched into a
tirade against the police for detaining her,
and assumed the manner of an in-aue per
son as she closed her doors against further
questions.
Miss Ava was extremely indignant when
told the general belief in New i'.-rk and
Chicago was that she was none other than .
tho noted Diss Deb When it was sug
gested she might solve the puzzle by telling
where she had been before going to Chicago,
she replied that was her affair. She was
quite bitter toward Rev. Dr. Bolton of Chi
cago for not having been more active in her
behalf, and grew quite angry in .comparing
Catholics with Methodists, saying until she
had an apology from Bolton she believed she
would iTefer Catholics.
Miss Ava still remains In the House of
Detention. Testimony as to her identity
with the notorious Diss Debar Is vague and
conflicting. It was stated at the House of
Detention at a late hour to-night that she
has not received any letter or telegram
from friends or acquaintances as was natu
rally to De expected If she were a well
known person of large means.
FATHER KELLY'S STATEMENT.
Chicago, Sept. 12.— Father Kelly of the
church on Twelfth street, whom Miss Ava
accuses of complicity In her abduction, said
to a reporter, in reply to her story, that it
was almost 100 absurd to talk about. He
said that the woman claimed to be a Catho
lic, that she talced about her scheme for the
reformation of destitute and fallen women,
and that she had a large estate in England
and a share in Mackay's mines. Father
Kelly was asked about her having property
in the bands of the Catholic Church. He
said she never mentioned such a thing, but
spoke of having enormous wealth of her
own. The priest was shown a picture of
Diss Debar aud he said it bore a striking re
semblance to Miss Ava.
The chief detectives here to-day received
a telegram from Inspector Byrnes of New
York stating that the present whereabouts
of Diss Debar is unknown. The In
spector also says from the description given
of Miss Ava he believes she is none other
than Diss Debar.
Father Kelly says he has a witness who
saw Miss Ava enter the church from a side
door and pass immediately out at the front
carrying a bag in which were her money and
jewels. Another person saw her get into a
carriage, which was waiting around the cor
ner and drive away. Chief of Police
McClaugiiry this afternoon received a tele
gram from Inspector Byrnes of New York
giving a description of Diss Debar which
corresponds to Miss Ava's description even
to a scar on the cheek. A cut of Diss De
bar with the hat and clothing changed with
pen and ink to correspond with those worn
by Miss Ava, was shown to Father Fitzger
ald, Mrs. Bolton and otners. All unhesi
tatingly pronounced it a good likeness of
Ava. Further proof of identity is found in
the fact that a well-known gentleman met
Diss Debar not long ago and warned her
against trying any confidence games in
Chicago. This information conies from
Mrs. Bolton, who says she is not yet at lib
erty to disclose all the details.
St. Louis, Sept. 12.— A clew to the Iden
tity of Miss Ava, who mysteriously disap
peared from Chicago tliree days ago, has
been unearthed here. In a scrap-book in
the possession of the alleged Ava, now at
Cincinnati, is inscribed the name: ''Dr.
Ruinford. No. 1528 Chestnut street, St.
Louis." A reporter called at the number
given, but it was discovered that the doctor
had left the city three months ago and is
now in Los Gatos, California. Further
than this nothing could be learned. The re
porter then called on a spiritualist whom
Dr. Ruinford frequently visited while iv the
city. There It was learned that the doctor
believed in spiritualism and all other isms
of the same kind, as well as being a follower
of Madame Blavatsky. While It is known
that Ruinford did not vHt Chicago while he
was here, there is no evidence that Miss Ava
did not come here. It is thought here that
Ava is none oilier than Ann Odella Diss
Debar.
New York, Sept 12. —The acting Superin
tendent of Police declines to discuss the
stories from Chicago concerning the prob
able discovery of the famous spook priest
ess. Diss Debar. In the person of the so
called Vera Ava. The Chief of the detec
tive force was asked If lie thought the
Chicago-Cincinnati woman and Diss Debar
were one and the same. "1 don't think
they are," he said, "if the description tele
graphed is correct," replied Byrues, and
that was all be would say.
AM All! It ATHLETICS.
Beeords Broken at the Annual Games at
New York. jji-j '■'■'*' f:
New York, Sept. 12.— The first annual
games of the Metropolitan Association of
tbe Amateur Athletic Union of the United
States occurred at Manhattan field to-day.
It was notable because of the phenomenal
performance of George Gray and J. S.
Mitchell. The former broke the record (his
own) for putting the 10-pound shot by 2%
Inches, with a put of -it; feet 6 inches, mid
Mitchell broke two records. He threw the

tbe record by 10% inches.
A JILTED WOMAN.
She Is Suspected of Using : Dynamite and
iSSSfc Vs&".' Arsenic.
Kansas City, Sept. 12.— Another chapter
in the Juvenal case was; written to-day _
when Dr. Boyle recorded tho death of Mrs.
J. M. Juvenal from arsenical poisoning. The
married life of J. M. Juvenal has been a
stormy one. Ho first married Miss Margaret
Fouceu of ' Russe), Kans., and eight years
.later she got a divorce. 7 Then Juvenal be
came engaged to Jliss Millie ' l'feffman of
this {Place. He Jilted her and married Mrs.
Anne Baker, a divorced woman. Soon
afterward Juvenal's house was blown up
with dynamite, he and his wife barely es
caping death. Miss Pfeffman was arrested
for the ciime and a case against her is still
pending. Last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Juve
nal spent the day away from home, return
ing Monday. Soon after their return they
drank water from an ice-cooler and were
both immediately taken ill. They did not
suspect poisoning, however, and medical
assistance revived them. Tuesday they ate
some cakes made from mixed meal and
again botb were fatten violently ill. An in
vestigation showed that nearly everything
edible In the house had been mixed with
arsenic. From the effect of her illness Mrs.
Juvenal never recovered, : dying this morn
ing at 2 o'clock. Juvenal recovered. Much
mystery surrounds the case.
THE ARMY RIFLE TEAM.
The Prize- Winners at tne National Shoot
ing Tournament.
Chicago, Sept. 12.— A drizzling rata fell
most of the forenoon nt Fort Sheridan. Ii
was the last day's skirmishing for infantiy
men, and also their last In competitions.
Sergeant Merwin, Company "E, Fifteenth
Infantry, made the phenomenal score of 118
points In his morning run. It is the best
ever made on this range, and probably wins
for Merwin the James S. Kirk purse of 50. .
A struggle for a berth on the army rifle
team was stubbornly contested by 35 in
fantrymen that strove to be.members of the
fortunate ten. This brought out better
shooting than bad been done at any pre
vious contest. '-■'■■■
Among distinguished' men the fight was
not so intense, it being generally conceded
that Sergeant Merwin would carry off the
gold medal, while two sliver ones would fall
to Sergeant Davis and Corporal Sweinhnrl,
with possibly a cba_.ee of Private A. W.
James forging ahead into second or third
place. James has been in the regular army
thirty-one years, and Is quite an old man,
but still shoots well and lounded up his i
work by finishing fourth among distin
guished riflemen. :i : ' '-• :" i^
In tbe «fternoon Sergeant Merwin added '
another 1% points to bis score, making his
average for the day 111.' and firmly estab- 1
lishing himself at the bead of the distin
guished riflemen, with a total score of 570. I
Sergeant Davis, Company B, Sixteenth In
fantry, came second with a score Of 550 ■
points, and Corporal Sweinbart Company
D, Twenty-second Infantry, third, with 546
points. Among the contestants for places
on the rifle team was Sergeant Rose, Com- 1
pany A, Eighteenth Infantry, who scored j
I'M, making his total tor four days 589, but
eight points less than the highest score ever
made with a rifle. Sergeant Powell lias
second place on the team with uSA points.
The run that caused most surprise was |
Lieutenant O'Brien's 150 points, which, to
gether with his score of 12.'. in the forenoon,
made his average (or the day 130. Thurs
day morning O'Brien ranked thirty-first
among the riflt'-te'ani men. To-night, when,
he fired his last shot, he was seveuth ; had
a place on the team witii a silver medal ond
had won two gold medals — the Chicago IP-r
--aid medal, offered to the commissioned officer 1 !
making the highest total skirmish score, and!
the Shurlcy medal, for the officer making:
the highest single skirmish run. It is not
expected that any of the cavalry officers to
shoot Monday will seriously endanger
O'Brien's chance.
Sergeant Rosp will, in all probability, be :
$200 richer than when became from Texas
with the Chicago Herald and Tribune
purses of SlOOeach for the highest scores at
known distances and skirmi sli tiring. - The
army rifle team for the ensuing year wiil be
as follows: Sergeant F. Rose, 689 points;
Sergeant F. 1). Powell. 683;! Corporal J, O.
llalen, 574; Sergeant M. Gray, 509; Lieuten
ant F. D. Riimsev, 508; Sergeant J. M
Mayer, 564; Lieutenant M.J. O'Brien, 656,
Lieutenant C. Uerberdt, 552. They all get
gold medals, the others silver. _- . - _','
THE ALLIANCE IN DANGER.
Fears That the Farmers Will Be Drawn Into
Politics.
Kansas City, Sept. 12. — The Star's
Topeka (Kans.) special says:' C." D. Polk,
National President of the Alliance, in com
pany with Frank McGrath, the Kansas
President, returned from Bolton last night.
President Polk talked freely this morning
of thelpolitical situation. "If the Southern
farmers are driven into the Peoples' party,"
said he, "no power on earth can prevent
them carrying every Southern State, but
the question is will they be driven into that
party Four months ago 1 would have said
a new political parly whs not likely to fol
low. It now seems impossible to prevent it
The Alliance with us is in such a condition
that It can be changed in one day into a
political party. It was organized as a non
partisan institution and has been conducted
as such. The South is united on the Sub-
Treasury plan. Whether ihe Supreme
Council in February decides that a third
party must be placed in the field, or not, it
will "be a go anyhow and will receive thous
sands of votes in the South. The Demo
crats have it in their power to stop the
movement by acceding to the St Louis de
mands. Nothing short of that will avail,
and if It is not done the South is lost to
them."
ANOTHER POliAlt EXPEDITION.
Sleds Eo Constructed That They Can Be
Turned Into Boats.
Xew Yoke, Sept. 12.— Another expedi
tion to the North Pule has been planned in
Europe. W. 11. Eckroll, a countryman of
Dr. Fndtjif Xan«en, the well-known ex
plorer, has decided to undertake a perilous
trip next year. As Eckroll has invented a
new kind of sled-boat, bis plan has excited
considerable interest in the geographical
circles of Europe. Professor Lupau bus
written a lung article in the last number of
Peterinau's Miltheilungen upon "Eckroll;
His Plans and Inventions." " The vehicle
invented by Eckroll," writes the Professor,
"consists of a number of sleds so con
structed that they can be turned into a boat
when necessary. Thu boat is to be used in
the open waters of the Polar Sea, while the
sleds are for travel over the ice. The sleds
will be drawn by dogs trained for the pur
pose. The expedition is to consist of as
lew people as possible— at most six- and
the greatest possible number of dogs. As
Eckroll will be able to use either the boat
or the sleds, as occasion demands, be will
. be, in a certain sense, independent of wind
and weather."

New York. Sept. 12.— The Tribune's
cablegram from London says: The Con
, tinent has through the week resounded
, with the clang of arms. Austria has had
her military maneuvers; Holland has re
minded tho world, not unnecessarily, that
there is such a thing In existence as a Dutch
, army, and Belgium has massed some troops
;of cavalry in the field. England, not to be
outdone, has mobilized as many as 12,000
men near Aldershot. All this is a farce;
but there is something grimly serious in the
maneuvering of the French army. This
has been called out on a colossal scale; a
sort of rehearsal of what might take place
any day— month or next should
the trumpet-call sound the inevitable war
with Germany. Twenty-one years and a
few mouths ago there was a similar muster,
General Le Boeuf having assured the doubt
ing Emperor that there was not lacking a
button on the gaiters to impede its march
to Berlin. But all whom it may concern
know that the French army to-day Is very
different from that which, In 1870, marched
out to Berlin and got no farther than Sedan.
It appears after all that there was some
thing more -than froth in the cup that
Frauce has drunk to Russia. The Czar
will, in a short time hence, find in it not less
than 500,000,000 francs. This is the loan he
wanted to raise in my last through the or
dinary channel, the Rothschilds, but the
great Jewish financiers, putting patriotism
above percentage, declined lo serve the
monarch who was responsible for the atro
cious persecution of the Jews with which
Europe at that moment was ringing. Then
came the voyage of the French fl-et to Cron
stadt; the personal reception of the repub
lic's ships and sailors by the Czir, and all
France was ablaze with enthusiasm and af
fection for its newly developed friend, who
might some day help to regain Alsace and
Lorraine. The Russian Finance Minister
struck while the iron was hot and arranged
with a group of Paris bankers fur the issue
of a loan on the most favorable terms.
In the second week of its existence free

bket-suoar bounty.
The Internal Revenue Bureau to-day re
ceived a report which gives an account of
the first actual work done under the sugar
bounty clause of the McKinley bill. That
bill gives a bounty of from 1% to 2 cents per
pound on sugar produced in this country,
the difference in the bounty being regulated
by the grade of the 'sugar. The report Is
from the inspector at Fort Scott, Kans. It
says that 9000 pounds of sugar have been
tested by him and were found to be up to
the grade, entitling the producer to the 2
cent bounty. The next field that will en
gage the attention of the revenue officers,
and which will be entered upon before the
sorghum sugar crop is handled, will be the
beet region. The principal sugar-beet crop
will be in Nebraska, Utah and California.

Special to The Morn-ism Call
Sacramento, Sept. 12.— The State Agri
cultural Society has so far been especially
favored by weather conditions. It has been
just right, neither too hot nor too cold, and
the large number who attended the races
could enjoy the daily speed contests In com
fort The sweltering heat at several pre
vious fairs on the circuit has been happily
absent. The nights, too, are quite cool,
nearly as much so as in San Francisco.
Viistors from outside points should be
very careful not to indulge too freely in the
fluid called "drinking water" here. It Is
all right for washing purposes, but strangers
who try-to fully avouch their thirst with it,
before becoming acclimated, are liable to be
seriously indisposed. Quite a number of
San Francisco visitors are now suffering
from a too free indulgence in the fluid.
To-day there was another grand stock
parade at the track and the fine herds of
cattle, bands of horses, mules and jacks
fully demonstrated that California pos
sesses as fine a lot of stock as any State lv
the Union. iX'.'Z'
THE SPEEDING EVENTS.
Visitors at the track to-day received both
quality and quantity in return for their ad
mission lees in the way of racing. The
programme commenced at 1 o'clock, last in g
till past 7 o'clock, and then the 2:23 pace,
with lour heats decided, was postponed
owing to the darkness till after the conclu
sion of the running events ou Monday
next. The time made shows the track was
very fast and proves it to have no superior
in the State. The judges. President Cox
and Directors Green and Hancock, exercised
the most commendable vigilance in detect
ing tricks and protected the public all in
their power. They fined tardy drivers and
in three instances took them out of their
sulkies, giving the lines to substitutes on
suspicion that they were not driving to win.
It was such care for the public that makes
the State Fair a success, and if every racing
association took the same interest in the
public's welfare the complaints ln the past
about crookedness would be much less fre
quent ,
The San Mateo Stock Farm's eh. f. Vlda
Wilkes and Guy Wilkes having jogged
over for the three-year-old state, $100
entrance, $400 added, total value $1150,
the other entries being withdrawn,
attention was paid to the trot for the 2:20
class (Hazel Wilkes barred), for a $1200
purse. It formed one of the principal feat
ures of tne entire meeting, and heavy wager
ing was bad on the respective chances of
the following starters: J. A. Goldsmith's
b, m. Una Wilkes, by Guy Wilkes— Blanche
(Goldsmith); O. A. Hickok's eh. m. Mary
Lou. by Tom Benton— Brown Jennie (Mc-
Cord,- Keating); C. A. Durfee's blk. g. Don
loin s, by Del Vashtl (Durfee): J. W.
Dunathau's br. g. Franklin, by General
Reno(Donathan); Funk Bros.' b. m. Lizzie
F, by Elector (Campbell). For the first
heat Una was a strong favorite at
$40, against $8 for Franklin, $7 for
Lizzie and $8 for the field, and
at those rates lots of money went into the
box. Lou won the heat by six lengths from
Franklin, Lizzie third, in the fast time of
2:1!)%. Franklin was set back to fifth for
swerving and Lizzie got second place, Una
third. Una was still first choice for the
second heat at $100 to $27 50 for the field,
with Lou in it £22 for Lizzie ami $8 for
Franklin. Lou and Una were the leaders
to the quarter, then Una led at the half by
two lengths in 1:09, Lou second, Franklin
third. Lou broke at the five-eighths, and
fell back, letting Una lead by two lengths
Into the stretch, Franklin second. McCord
sent Lou up fast coming home and carried
Una to a break at the drawgate and beat
her out a length In 2:20, Franklin third,
half a length back. The two mares brought
$70 each for the third heat, to $11 for Lizzie
and 86 for Franklin. Una won by half a
length in 2 :21, Lizzie third. The odds for the
fourth heat stood Una $00, Lou 825, field
$10. Goldsmith won by a length In 2:20.
Lizzie was third again. For the fifth and
final heat Una sold at SGO against SIO for all
the others. The San Mateo filly easily
gathered it in by three lengths from Lou in
2:23%, Franklin third, Don Tomas fourth
and Lizzie distanced. This gave Una the
race with three straight last heats out of
five.
FLORA. WINS THE PURSE.
Six started in the SeSOO purse for the 2:30
class: Flora G, Agnew; Serena, Goldsmith;
Colonel May, Havey;Waldsteln, Hogobonm;
.Laura Z, Bigelow; and Lida C, Bayless.
Flora won easily from Serena by five
lengths In 2:27. No material change was
seen in the odds for the second heat. Flora
led Serena again all the way by three
lengths to the three-anarter. . Un the
stretch there was a sharp brush between
Flora, Serena and Laura. At the lower
stand Flora broke but caught quickly and
came on steadily. Laura and Serena both
broke near the wire and passed under it on
a run, Laura a neck better than Serena,
who was half a length in front of Flora.
Time, 2:25%. The judges set Laura and
Serena back for running and placed Flora
first. Colonel May second, Laura third,
Serena fourth, Waldstein fifth and Lida C
sixth. Now pools sold, Flora $40, Laura $13,

in 1:10%, with George N eight lengths back
and last. Then George put on a burst up
the stretch and beat Pluukett out a length
in 2:23%, Silkey breaking at the three
quarters. Whapple was distanced. For the
third heat George N brought $30, the field
$20. Silkey led Plunkett all Ihe way and
won by a length over George N. The time,
2:20%, warned the judges, aud they took
Houser down from behind George and Mlz
uer from Pluukett. Goldsmith to George
and Dan McCarthy to Plunkett were the
changes, and the pools crawled up from 85
for the field against $25 for Silkey to Silkey
$25. field $17. McCarthy drove Plunkett
like a streak to the half in 1:09. leading
George by ten lengths. Silkey was away
back from a break at the quarter. Then
Pluukett began to play, and George, after a
red-hot drive, beat him for the heat by half
a length in 2:24. Silkey just escapod being
distanced. The race was postponed to Mon
day for final decision.

A Fatal Duel.
Atlanta (Ga.), Sept 12.— A duel was
fought here a day or two ago by Jesse
Moore of Berrien County and It P. Fletcher '
of Irwin County, from the effects of which
Moore has just died. There had been bad
blood between the men for some time, and
when they recently met each was accom
panied by a friend. They agreed to fight
with their fists. After a few rounds their
hatred of each other became too intense to
be satisfied with such mild methods and
they drew their revolvers. When five shots
were exchanged Moore fell mortally •
wounded. Fletcher was also wounded, but
not seriously, and fled from the State with- -
out delay. He has not been apprehended.
