The Cuban Commander Confers With the Admiral on the Situation at Santiago. OFF SANTIAGO, June 19 (via Kingston, June 21).—A correspondent of the Associated Press has been afforded an opportunity of interviewing Gen. Calixto Garcia, who, with his staff, was brought to Admiral Sampson’s flagship this morn- ing on the gunboat Vixen. The white-haired general was lying in the cabin of Capt. Chadwick, the commander of the New York. He was seasick. This is the message Gen. Garcia sent to the American people: “IT am greatly obliged for the efforts of the American people in securing the independence of Cuba and I shall do ali I can to defeat the Spaniards quickly.” Speaking of the march from Banes, where he went to receive the munitions of the Florida expedition, he said: “We had a hard, hard march over the rough roads. Engagements with the Spaniards? No, because there were no Spaniards. My 4000 men are in good con- dition except for the slight fatigue of the long march. We found enough food, though the Spaniards are starving. “The patriots are not suffering from the blockade. They can always get food. It is the Spaniards who pay the price. I think the war will be over in a few months. You ‘can beat the Spaniards easily, but it is very hard to drive them out.” Then Gen. Garcia asked Admiral Sampson, who sat beside him, what had _ hap- pened to the other Spanish ships—the Pelayo and the rest—and opened his Yyes wide with a muttered exclamation of surprise when he heard that Admiral Camara was still at home. At Holguin, Gen. Garcia said, there are 10,000 Spanish troops, but he believes the 3000 men he Icit there will effectually prevent the army from reaching Santiago from the Holguin side. Capt. Chadwick met Gen. Garcia in Gen. Rabi’s camp; 18 miles west of EI! Morro. Rabi has about 1000 men, Gen. Garcia was accompanied on board the New York by his staff, consisting of Col. Collaze, chief of staff; Col. Valiante and Capt. Portuando, and also by Gen. Lord, Col, Malanes, Lieut.-Col. Hernandez, Maj. Bureno and their aides. Most of them suffered from seasickness, Gen. Garcia humorously saying: “As bad as are the roads in Cuba, your roads, Capt. Chadwick, are worse.” Gen. Garcia and his staff were put ashore later in the day, after the preliminary details of co-operation between the Cuban and American troops had been fully discussed. REPORTED ATTEMPT TO KILL BLANCO. —_ It Is Said That a Volunteer Shot the General in the Left Thigh. WASHINGTON, June 21.—A report that is discredited in some quarters has been received here of the attempted assassination, in Havana, of Capt. Gen. Blanco by Mariano Salva, a young member of the volunteer army. The attempted killing of the Spanish general was made as he was leaving the palace, about t6 atcompany some of the officers of his staff to inspect the earth- works on the outskirts of the city. The young Cuban, who sent a rifle bullet into Gen. Blanco’s left thigh, is a member of the volunteer guard on duty around the palace. His younger brother also was a volunteer and was executed recently on a charge of conspiracy with the enemies of Spain against the established government, his peace being approved by Blanco. € story of the attempt to kill Blanco comes through Cuban spies and was received by the Cuban Junta here. It is not fully credited by the Junta officials. CAMARA’S FLEET WILL STAY AT HOME. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyrighted by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. MADRID, Spain, Monday Night.—Minister of Marine Aunon has abandoned his original intention of sending Admiral Camara’s squadron to the West Indies. Both Admiral Camara and Admiral Churruca advised him that it would be absurd to face the immensely superior American fleet with only five real war vessels. Of the sixteen warships five are actual war craft, five are imitation war- ships and six are transports. . The transatlantic company’s steamers Leon XIII., Sautrustegi and Montserrat remained in Cadiz loading coal stores and provisions to run the blockade of Cuba. The telegrams from Manila have greatly dampened the enthusiasm about sending Camara’s ficet to the Philippines. Many people still believe that the fleet will be ; = turned back on Spain if events develop at home and in the colonies as rapidly as WASHINGTON, June 21.—Advices received here by way of Marseilles, France, confirm the first reports that the Spanish fieet has returned to Cadis. The dis- patches state that the Victoria was injured and was towed into port. STILL HOPING TO ARRANGE PEACE.

It is true that the amendments embody a question of munici- pal business, in the consideration of which there should be no politics. The question to be considered is the embodiment in the Organic law of the city provisions relating to the method of levying taxes for municipal improvements. These amendments convey extraordinary powers of taxation to the municipal authorities, by which they may, regardless of the will of taxpayers, levy upon their property to its full mar- ket value and repeat the levy at will. There is no limit. They provide for the levying of special taxes for various municipal fervices, constituting liens upon real property, which will be renewed every year. The question of business methods is to be decided and good judgment condemns the methods proposed as costly and dangerous. But the question of politics necessarily arises, because these extraordinary powers of unlimited taxation are given to elec- tive and appointive officers, whose characters are determined and whose course may be dictated by political influences. Peo- ple logically inquire concerning the men to whom the power to confiscate their property is to be granted and concerning the influences which surround them. The fact that the municipal administration which would be empowered to levy unlimited taxes for public work is corrupt and jwould be susceptible to the influence of spoils combines and contractors’ rings is a matter which the people must con- sider. The extraordinary grant of taxing power and the un- Wise methods embodied in the amendments would condemn them, regardless of these political considerations. But the political considerations point out the worst possibilities of the Unwise amiendments and strengthen the arguments againat them. They promise the most oppressive use of extraordinary powers. In addition the administration, which ts asking.for the #mendments, is honeycombed with spoilsmen and jobbers and iw looking to the party clubs and the party machine to “jam” the amendments through. The supporters of the amendments @re injecting politics Into the campaign. ——-— @@ "With the charter amendments St. Louis would have the fin- @et streets in the world,” remarks an administration organ- That es doubtful, but that it would have the “richest” push is certain. _* = ed, oo - —— - a - rn h “« od a : a a? ® ‘ ‘te - s .

' The bondmongers, jobbers and politicastros of the United Mtates have learned the trick and are preparing to play it. They are beating the tom tom of imperialism. They propose to mesmerize the public with visions of colonial conquests, ; victories in the four quarters of the globe, romantic expedi- _ + thong and all the theatrical paraphernalia of war. Behind it all they will work their “schemes.” The one paramont issue before the American people at the present time is taxation. The subject has not been thought ‘out. It is in a chaotic condition. Until it is settled jobbers will thrive and the accumulators of wealth will oppress the earnets. imperialism is a cunning device to divert attention from this .

It was edifying. The Sunday Post-Dispatch contained the only detailed and authentic account of the Baker Howard feud in Kentucky— the most far-reaching and disastrous affair of the kind ever known—which has cost many lives and which has had Gov. Bradley guessing for six months. It contained a hundred other features, attractive both from a literary and an artistic standpoint, which stamped the Magazine of the Sunday Post- Dispatch the best and most original publication of the kind in the West. People read the Sunday Post-Dispatch for its news and for its unique and artistic features. When they get that they know they have the best. It now requires two years to get a case through the Supreme Court. This, with the delays in the lower courts, ought to wear out litigants if wearing them out is possible. ee ACCEPT BLANCO'’S INVITATION. Replying to a proposal for the release of Lieut. Hobson and his men Gen. Blanco is reputed to have said, “If you want them, capture Havana and take them.’ With this taunt was a threat to fire upon any American. boat regardless of a flag of truce. 3 We want the gallant crew of the Merrimac and it would bea good idea to accept Gen. Blanco’s invitation and take Ha- vana. If Dewey's tactics had been adopted by Sampson Havana would now be ours.

Their interference in such cases is the surest sign of schemes of plunder. -————_ -———_- o> oo -— REFERENDUM ON FRANCHISES. Under the new charter just adopted by San Francisco, the franchise grabbers will find it difficult to capture the city gov- ernment, and, in case they succeed, can be checkmated by the voters. The charter limits street railway franchises to 25 years, and at the end of that period the track and roadbed become the absolute property of the city. This, with the reasonable pay- ments provided for as compensation, will make wholesale steals less injurious to the city than without such Hmitations. But in case a street railway obtains a franchise to which the voters object, they have 20 days in which to get up a peti- tion against it. Such a petition, signed by 15 per cent of the voters, makes it obligatory to submit the ordinance for the franchise to public vote, so that the people have the final word regarding any such granting of a public utility. We shall have to come to this in St. Louis, and the sooner the better. The franchise grabbers have not yet done with St. Louis. There are still many valuable privileges, for which they are scheming. The power to defeat franchise steals by vote would be valuable in this city. A charter amendment to this effect would be bet- ter than amendments conferring unlimited power to tax prop- erty owners. oo There are 115 Pingree potato patches in Kansas City, to the great relief of the many poor families who are working them, and there would have been more but for the mistaken idea of owners that posséssion by the potato growers would in- terfere with a ready sale of the ground. The Pingree potato | plan, in spite of the ridicule heaped upon it, has been a biess- ing to the poor. — >>> _ or oe A high tariff organ speaks of the fine object lesson of reci- procity with Hawaii.

THE € OUMMARIZED AND ANALYZED. — - — Mr. Robert Moore Tells What They Are and What They Mean— Some Clear and Logical Conclusions. The special election to be held July 12 is one of the most important ever held in the city. At that time a number of radical and far-reaching changes in the charter of the city will be submitted to the voters for approval or rejection. The following synops:s of the proposed changes has been prepared with the purpose of aiding the voters to act advisedly. The amendments are four in number and each one must be accepted or rejected as a whole. In substance and effect they are as follows: AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE. This amendment will strike out Section 41 of Article IV. and in lieu thereof substi- tute two new sections. The effect of the proposed changes will be to relieve the Presi- dent of the Board of Public Improvements of the duty of authenticating all special tat bills and devolve this work upon a new officer to be appointed by the Mayor and to be known as the Assessor of Spicial Taxes. To make this amendment effective, however, two sections of Article VI. must be repealed and amendment number three adopted. AMENDMENT NUMBER TWC. This amendment strikes out Section 22 of. Article V. and substitutes nothing in its place. The section strick°n out provices that lands within the city limits not laid off into blocks or lots shall not be assessed or taxed otherwise than by the acre as agricul- tural lands. Its omission will enable the\Assessor to take into account the value of such lands for other purposes than those of agriculture, AMENDMINT NUMBER THREE. This amendment applits to Article VL which relates to street openings, the con- struction of streets, alleys and sewers, street sprinkling and special taxes. In effect the whole of this most important article is reconstructed on new lines. It is here that the most important changes are made and the most careful consideration required. By the proposed amendments relating to new streets and subdivisions the present limitation upon the distance between streets, to-wit, 220 feet between east and west streets and 500 feet between north and south streets, is stricken out and provision made for the establishment of boulevards and private places. Several changes are also made in the proceedings for street openings. t Coming now to street improvements, the present Charter provides that all ordi- nanees therefor shall be recommended by the Board of Public Improvements after consideration at a public meeting, which shall be held upon the petition of a holder of property upon the street or alley or upon the board’s own motion. If, at this meet- ing, the owners of a major part of the property on the line of the proposed improve- ment present remonstrance it can be overcome only by the unanimous vote of all the members of the board and two-thirds of the members-elect in each house in the Assembly. By the proposed amendment all power of the propertyholder to initiate the pro- ceedings is taken away, and his remonstrance has no legal effect upon the decision either in the Board of Public Improvements or the Assembly. A bare majority in the board and in the Assembly is all that is required to overcome even a unani- The property owner who now pays for part of the street improve- Hereafter he is to pay for the whole im- mous remonstrance ment is allowed a voice in. the decision. provement, but is to have no voice at all. The Charter now provides that the grading of new streets, alleys and the repairs of streets and the cleaning of all streets and alleys shall be paid out of the general revenue, whilst the paving of streets and sidewalks and the repa'rs of all alleya and sidewalks are charged as a special tax upon the adjacent property. The amount of such taxes, however, are limited to 25 per cent of the assessed value of the property. By the proposed amendments this limitation is wholly removed and the grading, the paving, the cleaning, the eprinkling—everything, in fact, excepting only the lighting and repairs of streets;is to be charged upon the property asa special tax. Street improvements which Bbave heretofore been assessed wholly by frontage are hereafter to be assessed one-fourth by frontage and three-fourths in proportion to area upon a district which, in the judgment of the Board of Public Improvements, will be benefited by the improvement. No rules for the guidance of the board’s judg- ment are laid down, and the limits fixed by them cannot be changed. The amendment also provides that in all cases the work and materials of a new street must be guaranteed and kept in repair by the contractor *for a terms of years to be specified for in the ordinance. To do this the contractor must not only guarantee the materials but must take the risks of the traffic which may far ex- ceed all expectations, and must put this insurance in his bill. It also provides that the Board of Public Improvements shall make contracts running from one to taree, years for constructing sidewaiks, for repairing alleys, gutters and streets, for repairing sewers, and for sprinkling and cleaning streets, avenues. boulevards and alleys. Provis:on is also made for inviting alternative pro- posals and awarding contracts thereon, and also for contracting for work in ex- eess of the amount in the treasury available for such purpose, coupled with the proviso that the work done shall be limited to the appropriations made from time to time. Ail special tax-bills are to be made out in the name of the contractor with the same penalties for hon-payment as those now in effect. Instead, however, of re- quiring the contractor to sue within two years or lose his Hen, the amendment pro- Ses SRE Ri + Rabe ap hy: Seas Goaknnge ech 4 ay a. ° « : % [.™ 4 - 7 * ’ —_ 4 _ te fo, 2 . : . . ds a a x ia ot Ss Pas Ee ae & ; all bills for tne parts, the first payable in # days from in five annual installments with 6 per cen net pald at maturity, all become due the date of issue.

He was turned down for a bunch of young fellows who wete able to contro] political influence through fathers and friends. Eugene J.

SHES SHEE JHE EH BUNCH CF WEDDINGS. - a The movement for the celebration of the centennial anniversary of Louisiana purchage will be formally launched at the, Missouri! Historical Society's rooms, 1600 Lo- | cust street, Wednesday evening. A meeting of prominent St. Louisans has been called, to be held there and then. At this meeting an organization will be formed, upon which will devolve the carry- ing out of whatever plans of commemora- tion and celebration are adopted. Already the subject has been extensively discuesed by certain gentlemen who have interested themselves in the great event, and several plans have been suggested. Of course the exposition plan has been broached and finds supporters, but it is not likely to prevail. nm order to do her- vself credit St. Louis would have to equal or surpass the Chicago World's Exposition, and in the time remaining this is thought to be impossible. It is urged, too, that the national or international exposition has been overdone in this country and has be- come cheapened in the public mind for that reason. Expositions are necessarily of but passing interest, and it is urged that the centennial anniversary of the aequisi- tion of the Louisiana territory bj the I'nited States should be commemorated in an impressive: and permanent Way, with something that will stand for al] time as a reminder of Jefferson's splendidly un- sonstitutional purchase. For these reasons and many others of minor importance, the exposition idea is not thought to be an important factor in e choice of a plan. 7 other pians have been suggested which contain the essential elements of grandeur, permanency and value to the greatest number of the people. Both are for public parks in the pases of the city, flere they are most nercaecd. “The pian that secms to find the most favor at this preliminary stage of the movement contemplates the estab ishment of a beau- tiful river-front park, covering man blocks, and containing statuary, trees and @ mag- nificent pablic mus« um. lais pan recommends itself to St. Louls- the The latter | skirt, militery belt and tiny sword. , ans. It appeals to the imagination of every lover of Eeauty. Its execution means the conversion of what is ugliest in the cily, the Levee and the streets between it and Third, into a magnificent green spot at the eastern gate of Ue city. ‘ V:sitors to St. Loulsa from the East see firet our most ate section. They iook down from the great Hads bridge upon dirty.¢smoke-grimed rows of old buildings occupied by gin mills, dives, cheap lodging ‘houses, donk shops and old, deserted, rick- ety bu.la.: » They see a lively but not an inviting picture of steamboats, wharfboat railroad tracks and levee, littered with al manner of merchandise. This is the firet picture they see when they enter the city and the last when they leave it. The river front is the city’s back door. It offers natural advantages which, if used proper'y. would make it pre-eminently the beauty spot of the city. What can be more attractive than the ‘dea euggested for a park on the river front? It has been proposed that it extend for at least ten blocks south of the Eads bridge and from Third street to the water's e. he property in this «ection has become cheap. It has fallen largely into disuse. It is no longer necessary to the commerce of the city. Once owned by the city and converted into a park, in competent hands, it would become a monument to the great- ness of the Louisiana purchase, more beau- tiful than anything In the Weert. Laid out cally and ! eo > « great river which he gave to us by that purchase, and containing a magnificent building devoted to the preservation of rel- documentary and otherwise/of the his- tory of the great purchase, and to the ex- hibition of the products of the vast terri- tory which that purchase involved, this park would become a resort of the poorest and the richest, a repository of the treas- ures of Western art. commerce and history; a playground and breathing place for the poor an educational institution of far- reaching influence and an impressive me- morial of the greatest event in our history after the Declaration of Independence. Such is the plan that meets with most favor. Another one suggested is that a public pare be established in the heart of the city, out not on the river front. Objection to this that it would be well-nigh im- Possible to secure the condemnation of property in the right location for such a ics, , is made park because of its extreme expensiveness. Mr. Pierre Chouteau, whose ancestors saw | St. Louis when it was successively a Span- ish, French and American city, is one of the prime movers in this scheme to fittingly commemorate this great event. Mr. Wii- liam Hyde its another. There are scores of others who are interested and who repre- sent some of the best element in the city. “The first proposition,”’ said Mr. Chou- teau, “is: Are we to let the centennial an- niversary of this great historical event, which has meant so much to us and to the whole country, go by without notice? The answer should be an emphatic no. “The second proposition is that St. Louis is entitled to the aan of celebrating the event, since it was here that the formal transfer from the French Government to the Government of the United States was effected. It is true that Lower Louisiana was transferred on Dec, ™, 1808. at New Orleans, but the final and greatest act in the international drama, which meant s0 much loss to France and so much gain to us, Was piayed In St. Louts, when Government, delivered to Gen. Amis Stod- dard, the United States Commissioner, the deed to this vast western empire. March 16, 184. That ts the event and the date that we should commemorate. “Many suggestions have been made and noth’ a many reasons. It has been overdone and is too expensive, since we would not he satisfied to do anything short of what Chi- cago did in 18%. It has been suggested that a vark be established on front. That suggestion commends iteelf for many reasons. A park there would be a beauty spot; it would be a boon to the poor. That is a point I want to empha- size. We should tn this matter seek to benefit the or. BPnoneh has been done for the rich Such a park would not oey be beautiful and a pleasure ground, but it could, by building In It a great museum, he mrade an educational institution. “We should get the movement well started tv fall That would leave us vlenty of time fo do the work well. All citizens ehould teke an tntereet In it. The meeting Wednesday evening wi!!l give the movement definite shape, probably.” SARRIEN ALSO FAILS. Nobody Seems Willing to Become a Minister of France.

GOOD BISHOP REED | ' ' — ' LOUIS CELLA’S HORSE WON A LOT OF MONEY ye THE REGU- LARS YESTERDAY. GREAT AMERICAN DERBY. Os Something About Past Kind and a Review Race Now So Near Events of the of the Big at Hand. ee te The current week of racing cpened aus- Piciously for the talent at the Fair Grounds. Public form was vindicated in each of the six races run, and the betting public made a ten-strike. In the concluding event of the afternoon the bookmakers endeavored to make Osric Il. the favorite, but the clever money wentl in en the winner, Bishop Reed. The track fs now very fast, as was shown in the seven furlongs contest, in which Ed Farrell galloped the first five furlongs in 1:024g and completed the full distance of the race inl:27%. If Ed Farrell does equally well in his race to-day he will be a starter in the American Derby. One of the few “run-ups’’ of the meeting occurred yesterday. “Cap” Tilles had h.s recent $15 urchase, Don Orsino, in the gecond race for $400. The colt won cleverly and was promptly bid Up to $700 by ex-Alder- man D. J. Sullivan of the Twenty-fourth Ward. Mr. Tiilles retained possession of Don Orsino by bidding $706. That one time speedy mare Ill Wind was as much in evidence yesterday as the late lamented Leonatus was Saturday, two of her sons, Ed Farrell and Ben Bramble, earning winning brackets during the after- 'noon. The victories were deservedly pupu- lar, as the owner of the colts, “George Wilkes” Simmons, only runs his horses to win, There ig quite a charming little turf ro- mance connected with the third race of this afternoon. Wednesday even:ng Frank Leigh, the owner and trainer, wil) lead Miss Katie Gibbons, the belle of Kossuth avenue, |to the hymeneal altar. The future Mrs. | Frank Leigh exacted a promise from her | 809n-to-be husband that the day prior to | their wedding her namesake Katie Gib- | bons, the bay filly by Buckmaster—imp. | Lady Winston, should win a race. j made the promise and to-day he wiil fuifl ‘it. Katie Gibbons’ victory is as great a ' cinch as Don Orsino'’s was yesterday. The American Derby will be run at Wash- ' ington Park, Chicago, next Saturday. The | probable starters and their weights are: eR 122 Bannockburn .....

It may not come up to the 15 in the World's Fair year, when Boundless captured the prize, or the 14 in iss], when C. H. Todd sprang a surprise and enriched “White Hat"’ McCarthy's bank account some $13,000, but it promises to at least equal the dozen that started when Modesty won and beat the 10 that faced the flag in the years that Silver Cloud, Strath- | meath and Carlsbad were successful. The first American Derby was ‘run at Modesty, with Isaac Murphy in the saddle, passed under the wire in 2:48%. ‘“‘Lucky” E, J. Baldwin, the. Cali- fornia turfman, was very successful in win- ning the American Derby. His horses cap- tured the second, third, fifth and last of these events. thereby increasing his bank account $46.870. He won the second Derby with Volante, who beat Favor and Trouba- dour tn 2:49'4. Silver Cloud was the winner in 1885, Pxmperor Norfolk in 1888 and the famous Rey Fl Santa Anita, named after Baldwin's ranch, won the eleventh and last American Derby in 1894. Since then Mr. $11.90, when and, last year, owing to his poor success, announced that he would not race on this ».ue of coe Sierra Nevada Mountains again, but, with a renewal of the American Derby, it is belleved he wil! be trying for the classic prize next vear. He won a small fortune when Rev F1 Santa Anita won the Amer!l- can Derby, for the horse was a rank out- sider in the betting. McCarty’s C. H Todd won the American Derby in 1887. When Spokane captured the stake in 1889 he was the first favorite to finish in front. Spokane was a Montana colt, and was fresh from the scenes of his Southern triumphs, where he had conquered the mighty Proctor Knot, enabling his owners to execute a big coup on the Kentuckians, who were of the opinion that Proctor Knot was unbeatable. Tommy Kiley, now a prominent horse owner, rode Spokane and landed him a win- ner on a heavy track. Kiley also rode Uncle Bob, belonging to the Chicago stable, and won the Derby in 1890. Green B. Morris, the veteran turfman, se- cured the big end of the purse In 1891, when his mudlark, Strathmeath, galloped home tn front of Poet Scout, Kingman and others. Since winning the derby Strathmeath has been Morris’ breadwinner, and has won many a good race on a sloppy or heavy track. Green believem the old horse has “earned his oats” for the rest of his days and has retired him to a ranch. R. Swigert started Carlsbad In the race in 1892, and as the track was very heavy, his horse had no difficulty in landing first money. Rey El Santa Anita had the honor of cap- turing the last American derby and he equaled the record made by Boundless the previous year. He proved to be such a good horse that he was sent to England to compete in some of the big stake races, but he could not earn stable money across the big pond and has turned out to be such a poor racing tool since then that Mr. Bald- win has retired him ‘to his California ranch. During the years in which the American rby was run over $200,000 was paid out in the purses ung up for this blue-ribbon event alone. The largest amount was won by Boundless in 1893. when he easily de- feated St. Leonards, Clifford and other speedy colts, in the fast time of 2:36, mak- ing a new record for the race. As soon as the winning number was hung out and the jockeys had weighed in. James Cush- ing. owner of Be@undiess, was handed a check for $50,000. He was speechiess as he fingered the valuable bit of paper, and for some time could not realise his good fortune. Cushing and his friends had de- Epndes on Lookout, stable companion of oundiess, to win the money, and he had not consilered Boundless as being a dan- gerous factor, but Lookout was never in the hunt after the first mile had been reeled off. As these two were coupled [n the betting at 50 to 1 In the winter books. and they went to the post at 7 to 1, the backers of the blue and gold stars of Cushing S| stable were richly rewarded. Snapper" Garrison rode the winner and received $100 for his work. The racing days of Boundless are over. and he has been retired to Cushine’s farm, but he is the sire of @ most promising youngster, named Bounding, who may sustain the fame of his worthy sire. The Duke of Beaufort came all the way from England with a horse named Strathrose for the pernone of winning the rich prize. but the = on oa horse finished among the “also ans.

The Athletic Park Foiks Will Let Him Train Any Tim? He Chooses and Now Everything Is Lovely. The Post-Dispatch stated yesterday thal Jake Weldner would not race in next Sat- urday night’s meet at Athletic Park. That statement came from Butler, Weild- ner’s trainer, who sald that owing to the lack of opportunity for training Weldner at Athletic Park the latter would not take part in Saturday night's meet. Yesterday afternoon it Is sald the man- ager of Athletic Park called on Weidner and got him to change his mind about not racing and this morning W. P. Laing, man- ager of the cycling events at Athletic Park Stuted that Weidner would positively ap- pear on Saturday night. Mr. Laing said: “In spite of gseports that have been spread to the contrary, the ten- mile paced race at the electric light meet at Athletic Park next Saturday n.ght be- tween J. C. Weidner and Alex. Laing will take place and promises to be the most in- teresting event on the programme, The pacemaking teams as now arranged will consist of Frank Costelio and Dan Dough- erty, John W. Rundle and Harry Klute, Charles Bartiett and Grant Smith, Frank F. and Joe Howard, Harry Upshaw and Arthur Stockhoff, Cc. B. Collins and Har- vey Dunham and H. C. Strohotte and R. Buder. This gives. each contestant three tearns and leaves an extra one for emer- gencies. “Both the men are training hard and the race should be a fast one and make new marks for all d.stances over the mile. “One evening last week with one tandem team, Bartlett and Smith, taking him the entire distance, Weidner rode five miles in 10:§%, but 13 seconds less than Jimmie CC tt iis, ty _ Michael rode his five-mile exhibition at the Coliseum last spring, and with a fresh team coming in every mile the ten miles should be ridden very close to 3 minutes. “Om account of the good flelds in the mile open and the half mile hand:cap, ne- cessitating several trial heats in each, the mile invitation race will not be put on the | programme, but instead tandem pace will ve put into the final heat of the mile open and the effort made there to make new figures for the: mile amateur compe- tit:on record.”’ THE M’COY-CHOYNSKI BOUT.

He says that he will go into easy training soon about Chicago and condition himself for a severe course of training later on This latter course he will take up some weeks previous to the meeting, and Buffalo haa been selected by him as the place in which he will do his real training.

The indications are, however, that as Soon as prices stiffened Armour began to unload.

DEATH OF HENRY FLAD ~— ~— — GREAT ENGINEER EXPIRED SUD- DENLY IN THE STREETS oF ae yores. HEART DISEASS THE CAUSE. His Best Monument Is the New St. Louis, Its Water Works and Its Forest Park. \ ee Col. Henry Flad, the first President of the St. Louis Board of Public Improve- ments, and one of the foremost civil en- Kineers of the country, dropped dead of heart disease in Pittsburg Monday after- noon while out walking with his life-long friend, Mr. G. Stengel of that city. Col. Flad had arrived at Pittsburg in the morning and had started for Highland ~~ COL. HENRY FLAD. a ee Park with Mr. and Mrs. Stengel, when he fell. An instant before they had ail been javgehing at some ilittic jest of Mr. Sten- gel's. A doctor was summoned immediately, who eald it was evident Col, Fiad had died before his body struck the pavement. The body was taken to Mr. Sicngel's residence, SST Lelgh street, in Pittsburg. Col. Flad was ihe head and frent of all the public works in St. Leuls for a great many years and was an engineer by insiine: and training. lie Was vorn in Rhenish He. waria, in July. i824. and graduated at the “niv ty of Munich, It was-then he began dee of hydraulic engineering. in in syms thy with the German reyo- to leave the ————- railread work and in 1854 became resident engineer for the Ion Mountain road, in which cupacity he conquered many diff:cul- tiles that were new in the science of rail- road construction. Assisted by James P. Kirkwood he laid out the origina! plans for the present system of waterworks. At the outbreak of the war he enlisted as a private and rose to the rank of Col- one] in the engineer corps. He was promi- nently identified with Capt. James B. Eads in the construction of the Eads bridge, which at that time presented many un- solved engineering problems. For some years he had an office with Prof. Charles Smith of Washington University and continued in the private practice of his profession until the Scheme and Char- ter of St. Louls was adopted, and he was elected President of the Board of Public Improvements. He served continuously in that capacity until 1890, when he resigned to become a member of the Mississippi River Comm!i!ssion. To give even the briefest list of Col. F’ad’s achievements in the interest of the city would take a great deal of time and space. His work and his talents are visi- ble all through the ordinances and in all of the big successful enterprises of the city. He was of such unimpeachable character that he could approve and oppose any measure more ardently than most men with- out danger of his motives being questioned. Granite streets, waterworks extension, For- est Park, public. sprinkling, improved wharves, electric lighting and a thousand improvements all over the city bear the stamp of Col. Flad’s untiring work. In his office in the old City Hall he was at work from daylight to dark, accessible to everybody who wanted to speak to him about anything and everything. He never ot into politics. aid for his capture by the politicians failed. When his term as President of the Board expired he would say: “If I am wanted longer I shall be glad to serve,” and that was the end of it. In the midst of his numerous duties aa a city official he found time to work out inventions and engineering problems, which others used to their own benefit. Like al! men of gen'us, he did not seek to make a fortune from his ideas. He was a large man physically. as well as mentally, and was quiet and siow tn his movements, with occas onal flashes of temper when Nhe en- countered what he considered unreasonable stupidity or rascality. He leaves a widow and three children, all grown. His son, Edward Filad, is an en- gineer of prominence. The other two chil- dren are daughters, Mrs. L. J. Howard @:4 Mies Fannie. Flad. The remains of Col. Flad will arrive in the city Tuesday evening and the funeral will be held from his late residence, 3649 West Pine street. Wednesday. The precise hour and the names of the pall-bearers have not yet been decided upon. TALK ABOUT AMENDMENTS. Single Tax League W1ll Hold a Meet. ing Wednesday Night. H.

Thomas Robert Davis, 2 years old, and Miss Myrtie Isham, aged 17, called at the Recorder's office Tuesday morning to secure a marriage license. The would-be bride looked like a pretty schoolgirl on the way to her graduating exercises. She was dressed in a white dress and a natty little straw bonnet. The young lady was accompanied by her father, who gave consent to his daughter, but the young man not having the consent of his father, the license was refused. He went away to make further arrangements. — All Saints’ Excursion.

I have adopted the plan of organizing more com- panies than are needed for Volunteer serv- ice, because I want to get a National suard at the same time. When the com- panies are organized the best 12 will be selected to form the 6th Regiment, but tuey must come from towns not now rep- resented in the volunteer service.
