Louis Roads Preparing to | Try the Invention. | IT MAY SUPPLANT ‘OVERHEAD WIRES. GREAT SAVING OF EXPENSE AND AN INCREASE IN RAPID TRANSIT. MR. SCULLIN HAS MADE SOME INVESTIGATION. One of the St. Louis Lines Will Shortly Have a Car Running to Show What the Motor Can Accomplish. ~~ Negotiations are nearly completed for the equipment of a part of St. Louls’ street ‘railway system‘with compressed air motors.” It is announced that a few minor details | are yet to be arranged before a local teet | of this new motive power is made. The recent visits to New York of John Sculin | , and other prominent Western street rail- | \ Way men is believed to have been made in | | this connction. \ The plans for St. Louis are being care- | Wully guarded and the name of the local | road to take the Initiative is withheld. ‘In New York the compressed air plant of | he Metropolitan Traction Company is parly completed, and by the end of Feb- Ty ary 40 air motor cars will be in opera- tion on the cross-town lines. Within ll months it is predicted that compressed air will be used in many American and En- : glish cities If the present New York plans are carried out all of that city’s cross- town lines will-be equipped inside of two years. Tt is known that the officers of the Amer!- can Air Power Co., who control the rights of the system, have been in consultation with a number of Western street railway magnates, who are said to have looked upon the plan with favor, ‘he New. York Central Railroad is re- ported to be preparing to use ait-motor has been satisfactorily used for some time at Topeka. The American’ Air Power Co. controls both the Hardie and Hoodiey motors, and is capitalized at $7,000,000. Among those weaid to be chiefly interested In it are Pv. A. B. Widener, William €. Whitney and the other large stockholders of the Metropolitan Traction Co.; Coionel A. W. Soper of the Pintech Light Co., Henry D. Cook, Alex- jander McLeod, formeriy president of the Reading system, and numerous men of im- portance in the financial world. Compressed air as a motive power ante- dates electricity. In 1879 an air-motor car Was run in New York, and subsequent ex- periments were made in Europe. No im- portant results followed. The compréssing appardtus was far from perfect and great trouble was experienced by the heating of the air during the compressing process and by its freezing when expanded. To Robert Hardie, a mechanical engineer of Rome, N. Y., is chiefly due the development of com- pressed aid traction. , In 189% Mr. Hardie constructed a car for j the American Air Power Co., which wae ‘g@.ven a. practical test on the lines of the ‘Metropolitan Traction Co. Two others were built and successfully run for nearly a year. Tt was found that the car ran smoothly, | with less wear and tear to car and road equipment than the cables, that they were not affected by weather cond.t.ons and that they were less dangerous tha} cable or electric cars, as the entire 2000-pound alr pressure could be supplied to the brakes r the motor could be reversed if neces. ry he cost of operation was a little greater * than that of the other cars on the road. The original Hardie cars looked like or- inary cable cars. the space beneath the y of the ear being protected by aprons extending along the sides.

THOUGHT HIS FRIENDS HAD MADE IT GOOD. He Admits the Embezzlement and Says He Took the Money for a Legiti- mate Purpose—Will Be Re- turned to New York. r om Roy Beaudry, a handsome and educated New Yorker, 28 years old, and exception- ally well dressed, passed a dreary New Year’s in a holdover cell at the Four Courts. Beaudry is wanted in New York City for embezzling $1500 from the Long Island Railway Co., where he held an important position. Monday he was in charge of In- spector Carr Lucey of the American Surety Co., which was on Beaudry’s bond. Beaudry admits he'is guilty, but says he thought his friends had made the shortage good. When he learned such was not the case he gave himself up. There is much of the gentleman in Beau- day’s appearance. He is more than six feet tall, well built, of fine physique, with —_— — atte, SS ROY BEAUDRY. a good color and clear eye. His hair is black and his rather slight mustache is also black. He has large, dark brown eyes that do not evade one and his lan- guage denotes refinement. ‘“T took the money,” said nrocenged § ‘and it si all gone. I ‘have not a cent of it left. And yet I hope I am not a crimina: I know why I took the money, but f will not now speak of that. I did not mean to steal. If I had I would have made it worth my while, for I handled $60,000. every day and I could have got away with tkat amount as easily as I did the paltry sum I took. The prisoner comes from one of New York’s» influential families. He was in charge of the three passenger offices of the Long Island Railroad in New York and handled on an average $50,000 a day. He is married, and when his trouble came he left a wife and three children in a comfort- able home in New York. One day early last October he wrote a iletter to the railway headquarters inform- ing them of his shortage. Then he disap- peared. “T never played a race. I never was drunk. And I have never spent a cent on any woman other than my wife since I mar- ried, three years ago. It was eald in New York when my shortage became known that a woman was at the bottom of my trouble. but thatis not so. I simply took the money and used it for a purpose I had no right to take it for. I expected to-be able to make ‘t good, but 1 was disappo'nted in this. When I saw I could not restoteetbe ' HS GRACE ON ~FATHER KIELTY, . Archbishop Laughed at the Holy Angels’ Priest.

Pastorate of St. Bridget’s Evokes Com- ment and There Is Exciting Interest in the Com- LS COTS Tie Archbishop John J. Kain left for Chicago Monday morning, where he will remain a few days on business connected with this diocese. He was unaccompanied, and few recog- nized the distinguished prelate as he boarded the Chicago & Alton train. He was in a happy mood, and took occasion to wish the press of St. Louls a prusperous New Year. “The newspapers,” he said, “are great factors in the progress of humanity. And us an insight into the vanity of human weakness.”’ . The last remark ,.was intended as an arrow for Father F. M.

He was cleaning the dust-begrimed volumes in ex- cellent shape. ig fh ga up?’ I asked. “*O,’ replied Father Kirtly, ‘I’m getting ready for the concursus. I am confident of making a high percentage and possibly get- ting St. Bridget parish, after all.’ “Of course, I was surprised, but it Is ea'd Father Kielty is a man of his word. He was only joking, I suppose. Every priest in the diocese except himself was a candidate for the position. May be he meant it the other way? “At all events I feel assured the good astor of Holy Angel will be a competitor n this parish contest. An examination is now required to fill a vacancy in an irre- movable rectorship, and tthe successful competitor is appointed to the place. Not if I wanted to could I consistently interfere with the resuit.’’ “How about Father Kielty’s statement that none but a brick and mortar theo- logian is eligible for St. Bridget’s?’’ His Grace chuckled and said: , ae i3 merely putting in a bid for Father the Old Rookery.

Many Senators Are Primed for Lengthy Speeches and the Debate May Last Six Weéks, Thus Postponing Action. Special to the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, Jan. 2—The Post-Dis- patch correspondent asked Senator Davis, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Com- mittee, yesterday, if, in his opinion, the treaty of peace will be ratified at this ses- Sion, “I hope so,’ said he. “I have not had an opportunity of conferring with all of my colleagues, but the best informed Sena- tors tell me that We have sufficient votes to insure speedy ratification.” “Would you be disappointed if the treaty went over?” The Serator said he did not care to be | quoted furtner. It is evident, however, that he js disturbed over the outlook. When Mr. Bryan left Washington’ on Dec, 21 he seemed convinced that .the Democrats would stay in line, but since his departure great bundles of letters, pe- titions and memorials from Democrats and Republicans evrywhere have been arriv- ing daily protesting against the acquisition of the Philippines. Men like Gorman, James K. Jones, Cock. rell, Vest, Chilton and Bate, who refused to take Mr. Bryan’s advice, have con- ducted a quiet campaign against the treaty, with the result that many Democratic Sen- ators who Mr. Bryan believed would vote for the treaty have changed their ntinds. The opponents of expansion hope to pre- vent a vote at the present session. Senator Caffery informed the Post-Dis- patch corresponaent to-day that the pros. pects for preventing a vote were never better. Senator Hale, who left Washington a few days ago, said the opponents o conquest were never in better shape, Senator James K. Jones assures the Post-Dispatch that the provision in the treaty providing for taking the Philippines will be defeated if the Democratic strength is not again jim- paired. A report was circulated yesterday that Senator John P. Jones of Nevada had said he would vote aga‘nst the treaty. A Post- + gm reporter asked him if this was rue, “| am against taking people who are not homogeneous’ said he. “Then you re against the treaty?’’ ‘You can arav¥ your own conclusion from tesa I have saia,”’ the Senator replied, po- ely.

The treaty probably will not be reported to the Senate before Friday. Senator Davis will make a presentation speech, then Mr. Caffery will offer his amendment and de- bate begin. Eigh weeks of the session re- main, and at least two of these must be devoted to aperosteee bills and other im- | perative legislation. Mr, Davis would like an immediate vote, but cannot ask for one until after “full and free” discussion. Senators Caffery, J. P. Jones, J, K.

’ . , y ~ ‘ ta 3 i. fe ; LOUIS POST:DISPATCH—JANUARY 2. 1895 ING 10 ACK ILUILU, The Filipinos Decline to Sur- render the City. GEN. MILLER LANDS A PART OF HIS FORCE. QNSURGENTS STRENGTHEN THEIR POSITIONS AND MAY GIVE BATTLE. THEY HAVE PLENTY OF SOLDIERS WELL ARMED. ‘The Attitude of the Insurgents May Force the Administration to Dis- close Its Policy With Re- spect to the Islands. ~The following dispatch from Iloilo, which ieft there Friday, has been received here by boat, telegraphic communication with livilo not having been resumed: “The situation at Ilollo is grave. Fifteen hundred natives, fully armed, are at Melo, @ suburb of Lloilo. Seventeen thousand more, it is reported, are awaiting orders to embark at several points on the Island of Negros, 15 hours’ eail from Iloilo. All ‘women have withdrawn. and many fatnilles have taken refuge with the Americans. The rebels, after a consultation, insist upon in- action until Gen. Aguinaldo shail have been heard from. General Milier, when this de- mand was first made, declined to concede them time, and insisted upon an answer ‘being given him by noon vo-day. At the @ame time he gave assurances that Hves and property would be protected. “The foreign residents then petitioned General Miller to grant the extension. de- sired od A the rebels, as a fight would cause oe loss. This also General Muller refused At the designated time a native commis- sion again boarded the United States trans- port Newport and asked for delay, saying that they were unable to contro! the army which commanded the eity and the sur- rounding country. Gen, Miller refused, and prepared to land forces, sending an emissary back to Manila for instructions. “The rebels are strengthening their po- @ition, and are preparing to resist. The streets of lloilo are full of armed. soldiers, who are constantly entering in every di- rection. There is great excitement, which is increased by the appearance of the gun- boat El Cano, flying the Spanish flag. The public buildings, churches and boats along the river are filled with rebels. “The Newport's boats, as the boat, which carries this message. leaving, are being lowered with chine guns mounted in their bows. lighters are alongside the United transport Arizona. The United transport Pennsylvania lies three the south, with steam up.” THE PRESIDENT’S POLICY. Will the Filipinos Compel Him to De- clare ItP BSpéhal to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—‘‘The pith of the situation at Iloilo lies in the fact the att!- tude of the F‘lipinos may compel President MaKinley to disclose his policy with re- epa@ct to the future of the Philippines in advance of the ratification of the treaty of Paris."’ J € above expression of a United State Senator who is opposed to annexation of the ‘slands, makes plain the critical state of affaire in the Philippines. Wo member of the administration will give a hint of the vital part of the instruec- tigns sent te Gen. Otis, the Military Gov- ernor of Manila. All the public is permit- ted to know is that Otis has been instructed to.deal gently but firmly rith the Filipinos who hold lloilo; ‘“‘that the President ‘s anxious that the natives of the Philippines Should learn as soon as possible the true attitude of the United States Government with respect to them—that of friendship and consideration, entirely with a view to the betterment of the conditions which have | heretofore existed under Spanish MANILA, Jan. 2. the dispatch is about four ma- The States States miles to are to be given to understand, said fficial of the administration, that the authority of the United States is to be as- serted over them. but, at the same time, Gen. Otis’ instructions are to treat them with consideration and kindness. Gen. Otis has cabled the War Department that Gen. Miller is landing a force at Iloilo and has made a demand upon the Filipinos for its surrender. There is no wire com- munication with Iloilo, and it requires @bout four days for news to come from there. Gen. Miller has a force of 7000 soldiers ‘with a battery of light artille ry and severa Machine guns. The Filipinos at Iloilo are gald to number 10,000 and are well armed. Aguinaldo has disappeared from Manila. SHERMAN TOW and escorted to a seat pastor of St. and V Julian Pauncefote, the British Ambassador, or unable to attend because of indispo- sition, grip or pneumonia, always wins decisively. When Declared Invalid All Further of a ted‘ous legal bugaboo came here Sat- urday, Court, A. Hocker of the Fifth Judicial Circuit of IK lorida early tract suburb, ILLINOIS POLITICIANS NOW AD- MIT THAT HE Is THE TAN- NER CANDIDATE. SPEAKERSHIP FIGHT LIVELY. Curtis and Guffin Refuse to Recognize Sherman’s Supremacy and Will Battle to the End. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Jan. —As the beurs grow less unt#l the convening of the General Assembly the election of Judge Sherman as Speaker of the House seems more assured. It is now openly stated in both political camps that the Administration ‘favors Sherman. It is known that the Governor's personal relations with both Curtis and Guffin have been most friendly, but another feature of the contest made it important that Sher- man be elected. This was the fact that Mr, Guffin, notwithstanding his friendly personal relations with the Governor. had been taken up by members known to. be hostile to the State administration as their candidate. The defeat of Guffin, therefore, became imperative and Sherman was se- lected as the most available candidate. Neither Curtis nor Guffin admits that t. e contest is settled, and both will remain in the fight until the question is conclu- sively settled in the caucus. No new can- didates have ‘appeared. The caucus will be held at 2 o’clock to-morrow afternoon, ‘instead of to-morrow evening, as hws been the custom for a number of vears past. It seems likely that Representative Mc- Gorty will be tne Democratic nominee for Speaker, Certain it is that Cook County will get the leader of the minority, unless there is a failure to agree on a candidate. MecGorty’s friends say that he will have practically all of the Cook County mem- bers. The Assembiy will @onvene at noon Wednesday. No Senator wll be elected this vear. The introduction of a bill to repeal the Allen street railway law will mark the beginning of th» princinal contest of the session, The fight w:ll be carried through several weeks and will occupy the atten- tion of both houses to the exclusion of al. most everything else until the questions in- volved shall be definitely and conclusively se ttle d A resolution providing for the calling of the constitutional convention will be pre- sented early in the session. Labor legislation will occupy a large share of attention. The events of the past vear, more particularly the mining troubles at Virden and Pana. have created a pro- nounced sentiment in favor of a law which will effect:vely prevent the importation of laborers in large numbers’ from. other States. Important railroad legislation is likely to be proposed. FUNERAL OF DON ROMERO. me a Body of the Ambassador Will Be Taken Back to Mexico. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—The public fun- eral services of Don Mat!as Romero, the Ambassador from Mexico to the United States, were held yesterday at St. Math- ew's Church, in the presence of President McKinley, Vice-President Hobart, nearly all the members of the Cabinet, representa- tives of the entire diplomatie corps, offi- cers of the army and navy, and private cit- izens. At the conclusion of the service, the body was taken to Mount Olivet Ceme- tery and placed temporarily in a vault, pending its removal to Mexico. Before the body was taken to the church there were brief services at the house. At the church, the casket, preceded by the President and Cabinet. the honorary pall-bearers and other distinguished per- sons, was borne to the Rony f the church in front of the ajtar rail, placed ona catafalque. The Preaident’ was met at the door by Senor Don Jose Godoy, the first Secretary of the Mexican embassy, reserved for him. from the State Depart- ment and the navy and army and diplo- matic corps acted as ushers. The services at the church were very brief, consisting of a low mass, followed by absolution services. Father Charles M. Bart, assistant Matthew's, was the ‘celebrant. The honorary pall- bearers were the Ger- man Ambassador, Sec retary Hay, Secre- tary Gage, the Ministers from Guatemala snezuela, Senator John T. Morgan, Representative Hitt, ex-Secretary John W. Foster and Mr. John W. Thompson. Sir Representatives Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup versus DEED DESTROYED BY COURT. Complication Is Prevented by Burning It. JACKSONVILLE, Fia., Jan. 2.—The end when P. D.

Kan., Jan. 2.—Fearing that the new railroad bill passed by both houses of the Legtslature will not stand in the courts Gov. Leedy has called a conference of the Populist Steering Committe with a view to changes in the bill and its re-enactment under the suspension of the rules. The constitution gives the Governor power to assemble the Legislature in ex- traordinary session when a4 grave emer- gency demands it. The “emergency” set forth in Gov. Leedy's call was the neces- sity of railroad legislation. Now, the Legislature has passed a bill which does not meet this “emergency” until the first Monday in April next, and one month after a reguiar session of the Legislature shall have adjourned. The railroads intend to go Into the courts and fight the new law on this ground and have announced that they will carry the matter to the Supreme Court of the United States. They wiil contend that no emcr- gency exists and that M it did exist the new law should have been made operative atonce. The ralirvads will also contest on the grounds that the titie is not broad gpovsn, to cover ita purposes.

He says: “This sojdier business hag taught me two things about women. Under 10 and over 40 they can be depended on, but between those ages they are uncertain quantities. On my return I was received by a friend of the over-40 period with @ heartiness that was unmistakable. She took both my hands and I knew her welcome was genuine. Otherg of the middle division, from whom I expected a warm greeting, if not a Hobsoniging, were atrangely absent. They gave me the mitten so hard I’m yet inclined te believe it was a boxing glove.’"’ We cannot learn too much of woman. Thig extract from the experience of a hero will doubtless be kept in mind by all masculine readers who are careful of themselves. - - = GREAT MEN. An Ohio newspaper has taken the sense of its readers on the question, “Who is the greatest living American?” - Phe vote cast was 70,000. No American received a majority and the plurelity was very small. Admiral Dewey leads all other candidates, receiving 9500 votes. Next in order is Wil- Ham J. Bryan with 7866, followed closely by William MecKin- ley with 7758. Lieut. Hobson is the ideal of 4674 readers— women ?—while Admiral Schley comes in with 6580. Sampson gets 3734, Roosevelt 3342, a man named Lentz 1098, Clara Bar- ton 406. Several others are put down as scattering, among them John L. Sullivan, Ella Wheeler Wilcox and Marsha]! Wilder. Grover Cleveland seems to be dead in Ohio, for no- bedy thinks he is the greatest living American. The competition shows the whimsicalities of the moment. It recalls Speaker Reed's wise observation that a statesman is @ Gead politician. and that other profound remark, that: “the F 2 a3 ee Herald says; 5 _ @Peatest man on earth is a dead man,” Perhaps none of the eminent persons whose names figure in this “election” will appear in lists of the greatest twenty years hence—not even Lieut. Hobson or Lentz. But it shows that any live man can be great if he doesn't wait till he dies, Dwo Cities Compared.—Melbourne, Australia, with a popula- _ tion of 00,00, owns its own lighting system, and the city made @ profit out of it last year of $750,000. 8t. Louls, Mo., with a population of 600,000, spends over $314,000 a year on its lighting, and expects to do so, That's the difference, - SS | SOME LOGICAL DEDUCTIONS. The nature of our new responsibilities is becoming clear. ommenting on the situation in the Philippines, the imperialist “If the natives in arms are friendly to ‘Me we may consent to receive help from them, but even so ° a atatus is irreguiar, If they are hostile they are simply banditti, This may seem a cavalier way of classifying a peo- ple who are of the soll, but it ia the logical deduction from our DOr t and diplomacy.” Unhappily, this le too true. The logical deductions from con- Guest are vielence and tyranny. Grant the premise and the ‘Pofelusion is inevitable. - We hold the Philippines by right of conquest. By logical de- Buction we declare the peoplo who question this right rebels 4 banditti end shoot them down when we find them in arma. he Filipinos rebelied against Spain and set up a govern. ee ° - | a a claim the Philippines by right of conquest without considering the Filipinos’ argument that Spain had no title to transmit. If we-treat them as rebels and bandits, we do nothing but sub- stitute our own tyranny for that of Spain. This is another of the logical deductions from eur conquest. It will strain the political capacity of the American people to the utmost tc deal with all the logical deductions from a policy of conquest. We have opened Pandora’s box. The plagues are already buzzing about. = = i i The Cost of Bogus Titles.—American women who yearn for for- eign titles should be interested in the following record of French titles that have come to American heiresses: Gould estate, for Castellane title, $15,000,000; bogus. Collins estate, for De Giers title, $7,000,000; bagus. Singer estate, for De- cazes title, $2,000,000: valueless in France. Ward estate, for De Chimay title, $2,000,000; bogus. Heyward estate, for De Rohan-Chabot title, $300,000; bogus. Livingstone estate, for De Villars title, ——; bogus. Coudert estate, for De Choiseul title, $250,000; genuine. With every title but one valueless or false, the American heiress is certainly a poor bargainer. A pur- chased title should at least be genuine, however poverty stricken its owner may be. aie was THE STANDING ARMY, Cool headed men are inquiring why an army of 100,000 men is necessary when, during the reconstruction period, with sev- eral communities just brought back into the Union against their will, a forces of 25,000 was thought sufficient by Gen. Grant. Where is this army to be used? In the colonies? If soit isa confession that a colonial policy means militarism pure and simpie—a government of force without a trace of self-govern- ment and no hope of it. Do the advocates of a large standing army confess this much? If it is not to be employed in the col- onies it must be kept at home. If so, for what purpose? There was some reason for thinking a large army necessary in the late sixties and early seventies, for the people of those days were not quite sure the Civil war was over. But what is there in the domestic situation at present that calls for an army of 100,000? If 25,000 men were sufficient in 1870, do we need more now? ———— i hn ie ~~ — Except a good wife or a good husband there is no better com- panion than an enterprising and progressive newspaper. The Post-Dispatch should be the companion of every Western reader throughout the new year. It is already the companion ot half a million. = | Ss --—- = SANITATION AND THE GRIP. In an article on epidemic influenza or la grippe in yesterday's Sunday Post-Dispatch,-Dr. Charles H. Longstreth observed that unhygienic surroundings favored its propagation, and that persone. run down in health are most susceptible to its ravages. This may be said of most if not all epidemics, That sanita- tion is essential to health is one of the commonplaces of common sense, but too little thought is given to the importance of a sound body and mind. | It is safe to say that the grip microbe will not flourish in a body net to his Hking, and it is evident that a healthy body does net attract or harbor microbes of a kind which can do any harm. This view is held by no less a person than Dr. Virchow, the famous physician of Berlin, and is favored by many others of reader throughout the new year. It is already the companion of the medical fraternity. But its warrant is found in plain, sound reason. Dr. Longstreth’s advice should be heeded—sanitation and a healthy habit of body are the two safeguards against the as- saults of all diseases, &&>. i Mrs. McKinley’s new state gown of gray is highly appro- priate and expressive of the good feeling toward the Confed- erates that has developed so much in the course of the Spanish war. In all history there has never before been so strong a union as that of the United States of America. No country so much needs statesmen in this new year as our own. A transition from a great and progressive republic to a gfasping and insatiate empire would chill the hopes of all who love their fellowmen. The story of Tell City, told in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, gives great hope to the advocates of co-operation everywhere. In spite of many failures, we may soon see more co-operation in the United States. ' » i The greatest event in the career of William McKinley is the speech he delivered in Atlanta. It gives hima higher place in history than any other act of his life. == _— SS It may not be true that Mark Hanna once ruined a home, but there is no doubt that he is responsible for the unhappiness of poor old John Sherman, —_——- -~—— & O-o If Brigham Koberts was elected as a Mormon feeler, there can be no doubt as to what will be the feeling toward him throughout the country. --_— > The most popular pictorial newspaper in the West is the big Sunday Post-Dispatch, It has no rival in its great art work.

The many women who voted for Brigham Roberts might be made miserable by his rejection in the House. No St. Loulg newspaper has ever entered a new year with so many readers as are now with the Post-Dispatch. Next time “embalmed beef’’ is palmed off on the army, it might be well to get the coffin trust to share in the contract. We have had a double Christmas and a double New Year's day. Let us hope that they will be followed by a double allow- ance of prosperity.

The little creek, rudely dammed for bath- ing below camp, was gurgling on just the same as ever. The tall pines lent their tops as eolian instruments to the warm night wind. The two horses at the long stretch of picket line took rest from the labors of the ‘‘day herd,"’ but the knowledge of hov- ering, ghastly death was in the heart of every trooper of M of the —th. The Gread war chant of the Chirichua Apaches rose higher and higher, the death chant of the gallant handful of white men camped under the hills that should be their destruction—a monotonous horror of sound.

In our public conveyances, shops, res- taurants and theaters the variety of un- becoming costumes which one sees in an afternoon is beyond calculation.

ELLA WHEBLER WILCOX. THE BABY. Mothers are invited to contribute to this department. If you have made a discovery of benefit to your baby’s health or mental development share it with the mother read- ers of the Post-Dispatch. If your baby hag said original] and funny things, as only bright babies can, they will be acceptable to this department, ADVICE TO MOTHERS. _THE INFANT'S CRY.—The French author, M, Vallelx, bas divided the ery of the ehild into the ery proper and the return. The cry proper is given during eaprration. and the return during inspira- tion; and it really seems as though one could learn a great deal about the physical and mental condi- tion of the child, by merely considering the method of its only expression of its mental and bodily con- dition. In health the ery proper is sonorous and long. The return is shorter and sharper. This re- turn beveomes stronger as children advance in age, and im different stages of health the cry changes. If there is to a fatal termination of any dis- ease the return ceases, and the cry has a moapn- ing or murmuring character, pitiful to bear. ABOUT RBREATHING.—The respiration of a baby from two months to two years should aver- age 35 a 'ninute; and from two years to six years the average i8 18 during sleep and 28 when awake. Variations from 35 to 45 under one year should cause no sort of anxiety, provided the child dves not cry with pain as it breathes. DRESSING THE BARBY.—The dressing of the baby should be done at a regular hour every morn- ing. The mother or nurse should be entirely alone. in a room of a temperature of 74 degrees Fahren- helt. Bhe should get all the clothes ready iu the baby’s nursery basket; have pins and water and powder at hand; and so arrange all other duties that she can give herself up to the baby for at least three-quarters of an hour, She should strip the cbild; lay it upon her lap, which has been covered with a flannel apron rubber-lined. and sponge or bathe and dry carefully: then dip the band in a little vaseline to soften ft, and rub the child's. body all over, manipulating the muscles and moving the limbs, at the same time talking ; to the little ane.

Scarpia’s villainy and base ann were merely accessory to the monster jealousy, , A comparison of Miss Walsh's La Tosca with that of Miss Davenport and that of . Bernhardt is inevitable. It is better calculated to please a great many theater- oers than either of the others. Whether r, Sardou would like it so well is doubtful. His idea of the character, as expressed in a letter to Miss Davenport, is this: “Briefly, she is a woman—always a woman— solely a woman, but a woman of that time, of that country, and not at all of your time or country.” Miss Walsh's interpretation of the character ig original. She is said never to have seen elther Davenport or Bernhardt in the part. She is like neither. She has not the sweeping passion of Daven- port nor the abandon and cat-like power of the French woman. Hers ie a rather proper and yvirginal La Tosca. It is a woman all right, but it is a woman of this time and country. The majority of people will like it very much, It is lady-like and entirely proper, and it makes one wonder how she will interpret Fedora. Mr. MacDowell’s Scarpia was a great piece of work in the third act. He simulates the passions that set the blood to blazing and the heart to leaping and make the hands tremble, with wonderful fidelity. His death scene ia somewhat overwrought, but prior to that he is great, The tg A is a good one and the pro- duction is fully up to the standard set by Miss Davenport. ‘La Tosca” will be the Wednesday afternoon. ‘Fedora’ wil] be bill to-night and Tuesday evening and presented the remainder of the week. Sousa’s new opera “The Bride Elect” was resented last night at the Olympic for the rst time in St. Louls. The company is large and every one who attended the opening performance says that as a spec- tacle the production is superior to any opera _ever presented in St. Louis. The Post-Dispatch will review the opera Tues- day. In the meantime tt is only fair to say that persons competent to judge state that it is enjoyable. “Lights O’ London’’ is the bill at the Im- perial this week. It is a good old English melodrama a with villain or so, and a hero ch so, and also a heroine and a lot of parecer who do things and say things hat appeal to the emotions. essaline eceed made her debut as the leading woman of the stock company. She was generously applauded, and there appeared to be a large number of her old friends in the matinee audience. Mr. Lyons and Marion Elmore scored the big successes of the performance. Mr. Lyons had the role of a strolling player and Miss Elmore ap- peared ag his ¢on, a bright, ‘‘cheeky’’ Lon- jon lad. Miss Earle, as Mrs. Jarvis, also did good work, and Mr. Williams as the young man of high degree who married the poor girl was equal to all requirements, Of course Frank Losee was a good villain. Hle always is. The Columbia Theater was taxed to ite utmost yesterday afternoon to contain the big New Year's crowd, Chairs were ex- hauseted early and many stood during the eaiap paged Ching Ling Foo and his fam- y, who are said to have only left the Ce- lentil Kingdom six weeks ago, were as the principal features on the bill. The head of the family deals in Chinese magic and evolves tubs of water and other things out of thin air with apparent ease. Then he evolves them back again. One of his boys sping plates on the end of a stick a little better than anybody else ever did, and an- other balances jars and things In a novel manner. Lidia Dream's ventriloquist turn fs clever. Horwitz and Bowers are billed as travesty stars, and do an entertaining eketch, Other acts were Herr Longlow, who walks a slack wire and does fancy rifle shots at the same time; Arthur Amaden, musical monologuiat, and George Jones, a amall boy with a big baritone yoice, The Grand Opera House Stock Company, ap at present constituted, entered upon its last week yesterday. The drama wag ‘Blue Jeans,’’ and barring the fact that some of the people were at sea occasionally on their lines—a fault incident to first nights—it wus we. presented, the scenic effects being par- ticularly good, especially the sawmill inter- jor, with a running circular gaw which threatengs to amputate the hero about the middle of the body, until he is rescued by his wife. Miss Lillwan Sutton, as the fe- male villain, appeared to much better ad- vantage than the gentile roves her face would seem to fit her for. Hudson Liston did clever character work as Col. Henry ay Risener, a rural politician. Gus feinberg as a country bumpkin, had a role different from his customary work, but as usual he acquitted himself well. The support generally was good. Migs Giacinta Della Rocca, the talented violinist, was the best feature of the vaude- ville, but there were other good numbers. including the Neilson Sisters, vocalists: La Belle Maie, a wire performer and serpen- tine dancer: Harr“zan, the tramp juggler, and Ozav, a alight of hand performer and comedian, mee Havlin'’s started the new year with two audiences which must have done the mana- gerial heart good. Every seat in the house Was sold before the curtain went up, in- cluding the piano stool in the rear, and many held the walls up througheut the per- formance. Miss Mildred Ho land and an excellent supporting company, in ‘‘Two Little Vagrants,” was the attraction. The play isa melodrama of more than average merit, and like all of its class the op- preseed are triumphant, and violent death or prison becomes the portion of villainy. Among the scenic effects is a turn lock and a flood of real water in which the chief villain is drowned, and it fe very realistic. Fan Fan Miss Holland is seen to ¢x- cellent advantage. She makes a splendid boy and her work is clever throughout. M.«s Delphine Perrault as her companion Vagrant was quite satisfactorv. Mise Annie Rodden, as the drunken, vicious wife of Le Renard, did good character work in the fourth act, the only scene which gives her a chance. Mr. Del La Barre. as the heavy villain, was a typieal French ruffian, and the other roles were acceptably filled. There is a good show at the Standard the week and—don't jump! —it is clean. It fs called ade f & Woods’ big show and it is a big show t is nearly all vaudeville, and bright, entertaining vaudeville at ‘that.

The opening feature of the entertainment will be a novelty never before seen tn this or any other city. When the curtain goes up it will disclose a hundred or more mem- bers of the order of Elks and their invited guests on the stage in the full enjoyment of one of their popular functions known as a ‘“‘social seasior’’ The public often hears of these affairs, but this. will be the first time in the history of this order that a ‘“soctal Gession’’ has been given in pwbiic, During its continuation a number of the epeciaities which are a part of the pro- gramme will be introduced just as though they were appearing in the rooms. Mr. Hanley will appear with Miss Minnie Seligman ostensibly for the purpose of: entertaining the Elks. They will give the comedy sketch “A Thousand Dollar Kiss.”” The curtain wil] then be rung down, and while the company is supposed to be going upstairs to the lodge room to wit- ness. the sketch, the stage will be reset and the curta®S rise with Mr, Hanley holding the cente Several epecinition will then be introduced and the performance will conclude with the forum scene from Julius Caesar, with Mr. Hanley as Marc Antony and John H.

CHARLES STREET. . pg en ar — latter small and slight in blue striped caimbric uniforms. The Spaniards were de- pressed; the Americans were correspond- ingly buoyant, At the last stroke of 12 the boom of a gun brought all eyes to the point in the room where stood the Captain General who was talking with an American officer. Immediately all was silence. The Cap- tain General stepped to the left, taking his y0sition directly in front of his staff. On his right stood Capt. J. 8S. Hart, interpreter to the United States Military @ommission. Next to Capt, Hart in the order: named were Generals Chaffee, Brooke, Ludlow, Lee, Wade, Butler and Clous, Immediate- ly behind General Chaffee was Senator John W. Daniel of Virginia. At this mo- ment the band on the plaza was playing the Spanish national hymn. As the guns at Cabanas fortress ceased firing there was a breathless pawvSe in the salon. Every- body knew that the American flag was be- ing raised on the staff on the roof of the palace by Maj. Butler, son of Gen. Butler and that the star and stripes was going up on the other official staffs in Havana. After this second silence the band on the plaza played “The Star Spangled Banner,” while the guns of the fleet and fortresses began to roar out the national salute of twenty-one guns, Immediately Captain General Castellanos handed the manuscript of his speech to Capt. Hart and began to speak. Amid tne strains of the band and the noise of the guns it was impossible to hear him. “Close the windows,” said some one, and the casements were closed, but the sound of the cheering still visibly disturbed the Cap- tain-General. Addressing himself to Wade, President of the United States Mili- tary Commission, though he seemed to look at the floor, Gen. Caetellanos said: “Gentlemen, in compliance with the treaty of Paris, the agreement of the mili- tary commissioners of the island and the orders of my king, a Jan. 1, 1899, there ceases in Cuba, 8 sovereignty and begins that of the States. In consequence, I declare you anish Tnite in command of the island, with the object that | declaring to you that you may exercise it, I will be first in respecting it. Peace having been established between our respective governments, I promise respect to the United States Government and I hope that the good relations already exietin etween our armies will continue until the termination of the evacuation of those under my orders in this territory. After Captain Hart had translated the address, Gen Wade said to Gen, Brooke: “I transfer this command to you. >» Major-General Brooke said: “IT accept this great trust in behalf of the Government and President of the I'nited States and (addressing Captain- General Castellanos) I wish you and the gallant gentlemen with you a pleasant re- turn to your native land. May prosperity attend you and all who are with you. Generals Brooke and Castellanos then shook hands, after which Gen. ¢ astellanos and staff retired from the throne room, shaking hands with Mr. Jerome, who stood near the door of the exit. As they retired there was a movement toward Gen Brooke, Brigadier-Genera him by the hand and saying: “Buccess to you.”’ Generals Brooke and Chaffee, with others, then stepped upon(the balcony and looked down upon the plaga, A big Americ- an flag, fying over the ~ senal, was in full view, and Farther av -», the Stars and Stripes could be seen (YF Cabanas Fort- ress.

Major General Brooke held a reception in the palace salon, the various officials ying their respects and promising al- egiance to the United States. First came the doctors of the University of Havana, at their head President Barriel. All wore black silk and velvet gowns and small, black silk caps, with yellow tassels. All bared their heads and bowed low. Next came the municipal authorities, headed by the Mayor, and after them came the Eco- nomical Society, formerly an advisory board to the Captain-General, with senor Alfredo Zayas, its president, leading. Then came the firemen. Numerous speeches were made, to all of which Gen. Brooke replied briefly At the close of the reception the Cuban Generals were introduced. Gen. Brooke said t0# them: “IT shall look to you to assist us in car- rying out the purpose that brought us to these shores. It is a great trust, and I shall expect most extraordinary assist- ance _—- try . yen. Lacret, who acted as spokesman for the Cuban officers, assured the United | would be done to help the Americans re- store Cuba to a condition of peace and pros- perity. The speech was translated by Capt. Iage of Virginia. It was scarcely half past 12 o’clock when Gen. Brooke and his staff left the palace for the Hotel Inglaterra. Commodore Crowell and Capts. Sigsbee, Berry, Cowles and Foss of the United States squadron arrived a few minutes later, too late to pay their respects. The only lady who wit- nessed the scene fn ti:4 salon was Mrs. John Adams Fair of Boston, ushered into the palace by mistake. she was about to retire Col. Gelpi, the Cap- tain-General’s Chief of Staff, begged her to remain. All the other ladies were as- signed places tn the balcony of the bar- racks overlooking the plaza. FOUR CENTURIES OF MISRULE. The Spanish Flag Swept From the Western Hemisphere. More than four centuries of Spanish rule in both the Americas ended when the American flag was hoisted over Havana yesterday. The Spanish flag is swept from the Western Continent, North and South. The Stars and Stripes will fly in its place wherever the flag of some republic or of one of the humane European monarchies does not already fly. Spanish rule in America began in 1492, who was When ° © ; when Christopher Columbus, an Itallan, dis- covered San Saivador Island. One followed another—all South America and a zood share of North America, to say noth- ing of Central America, were at once claim- ed by Spain, Columbue died in chains, but Spain was only too eager to profit by his discoveries. and shios and men followed wherever the great discoverer had set his foot.

A PROSPEROUS The Statement of the New York Life a Surprise to the Oldest Insurance Men, : NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—The year closed with business booming. The Bureau of Statistics at Washington figures the coun- try’s excess exports over imports for 1898 At 617,000,000, and these, figures tell the whole story. Everybody \believes a still further enlargement of foreign and do- Mmestic-trade is in store for 1899. This morning the New York Life Insurance Co. reports its year’s work, and of all the com- jes is the first to publish its statement. he result surprises the oldest insurance men, and furnishes fresh proof of the bui- ness revival of 1898. President John A. McCall of the New York Life, states that his company in 1898 has been paid for more than $152,000.00) in new insurance, an -in- crease of more than $15,000,000 over 1897, and has now a total of policies in force exceeding $945,000,000, being a gain during the year of $67,000,000. The average mind can ecarcely hey the significance of these res, which denote a larger gain during year alone than was shown in the revious year by all the other regular life _ Insurance companies of this State com- bined, and is an unparalleled record. While this record is strikingly exceptional, gains in somewhat the same proportion have been made by the banks, and the large commercial houses. It is interesting to te from President McCall's report that issouri has been one of the leaders in this tremendous increase in the company's ess FAITH IN BIG GUNS UNSHAKEN.

FOR SOME REASON DAN STUART THINKS SHARKEY IS GOING TO BEAT M’OCOY, HE USED TO THINK DIFFERENT. Lou Housman Has Taken Hold of Young Griffo and Is Going to Try to Make a New Man of Him. Dan Stuart, who not long ago explained “why Corbett made such a poor showing against Sharkey,’ has left New York, and is now on his way to his home in Texas. Dan used to say that McCoy was the champion of them all, but when asked who he thought would win the coming fight he seemed to favor Sharkey. If he bet any money while in New York it was on the qulet. Why he switched and favored Sharkey is not known, as all the other well-known sports seem to think that the “Kid” had a cinch, Dan is on the inside track, and must have smelled a rat. What does it all mean? Louls Houseman, a Chicago sport, has taken Young Griffo under his care, and will eend him to a little town in Lilinois where he will be watched by a man with a sn0t- bgun. Griffo has been on a tear for the past three. weeks, but wants to start the New Year right, and has placed himself in Houseman’s care. If Houseman is success- ful in getting Griffo sober he will use him in one of the fistic carnivals that he wil hold at Tattersall’s. Pluto, the Australian who meets George Dixon soon, saw his first fight in America last week. He attended the Gans-Daly o, and was very much impressed with the merican style of fighting. Speaking of his coming fight with Dixon, he says that he will take George’s measure. He is con- fident that Dixon will not defeat him, and the worst he fears is a draw. Pluto has never suffered defeat, and is the eatest fighter ever brought from Australia with the exception of Griffo, In spite of the fact that his fight with Choynski has been declared off, Ruhlin is doing light training and will be ready to meet any of. the heavy weights with a week’s notice. Gus is in better condition now than ever, and Billy Madden says he has improved wonderfully in his work the past month. Jimmy Wakley, one of the best-known sports in the Bast and old-time backer of John L. Sullivan. visited McCoy’s training quarters last Saturday with a number of friends. Speaking of the ge battle he said: ‘‘It {s my opinion that McCoy will give Sharkey the worst beating he ever re- ce.ved in his life. The Kid is a game and scientific fighter, and if he can stand a lIit- tle punishment wills ly come out on toP.”’ .- Bobby Dobbs, the American who defeated the English champion, Dick Burge, has made quite a ‘hit with the English sports, and they are ready to back h.m for any amount against Kid Lavigne. Lavigne is now in San Francieco, and it is expected that he will accept an offer to meet Dobbs. The National Sporting Club of London offer $2500 for the fight. If the offer is ac- cepted the fight will be pulled off some time in March. Joe Gans, the clever colored lightweight who gained the decision over Jack Daly at the nox Atheltic Club last week, is matched to fight Otto Sieloff of Detroit, The men will meet on the 2ist of thig month at Tattersall’s, Chicago. S-.eloff is a good man. Homer Selby, McCoy's’ brother, is in In- dianapolis, trying to get vermission to pull off several boxing matches there. He made several bets on his brother while there. If he is successful he will bring all the good lightweights to Ind:anapolis and give a series of matches in that city. CUNNING MR. YOUNG. The President of the National League Signs a Brother of the Trial Judge. William A. Kinnerk, who went to Wash- ington to take President N. E. Young’s de- position in the baseball case, returned to St. Louls Monday morning. “Young refus to give his deposition. even when ordered to do so by the court,” said Mr. Kinnerk. “He will be brought up [n court Tuesday and asked to ehow cause why he should not be committed for contempt. “A funny thing about the case is that Young has engaged an attorney named Cole to defend him. Cole is a brother of tie trial judge. O, these baseball men are a slick lot, I tell you.” “Will the absence of the Young depost- tion have any effect on the baseball case when it comes up for trial Tuesday?" “None that I can think of. Young’s re- fusal simply gives the right to introduce the evidence we were legally entitled to get from him.” Weil’s Matinee Concert. A large audience attended the eighth of Bandmaster Weil's series of concerts at the Fourteenth Street Theater yesterday after- noon, ‘The work of the band was un- usually ood, The happy manner Beand- master ell has of rendering catchy ttle encore numbers has the effect of showing off the excellent work of the band in the heavier numbers; as a variation they are appreciated by his audience. ise Lena Schrieber’s soprano solo was well ren- Corse.

Nothing Left for the St. Louis Stock- holders and Bondholders but to Fight Hard for Their Rights. The National League conspirators are no longer working under cover. Brush, Robison & Co. have at last come Out into the open and declared that they are going to capture the St. Louis Club by fair means or foul. They are not only going to hold up Von der Ahe, but every man, woman and child owning bonds in the St. Louis Club. The St. Louis people who, through love of the game and to help the cause of base- ball, bought bonds in the club believed their certificates were as good as gold, are to be “gold bricked” out ofgtheir property. At least this is the pian Brush, Robi- son & Co., and they will carry it out to the letter if the people who own the bonds and the St, Louis Club’s other property do not rise in their might and in open court fight such attempted invasion on their rights to the last ditch. An exposure of the Brush Co. plan in open court cannot fail but re- sult in the total rout of the conspirators. From New comes word that Muckenfuss, the receiver of the St. Louts Club, is work- ing with the Brush, Robison & Co. crowd to turn the property over to the outsiders. This information is conveyed ‘here by a dispatch from New York which reads: “The League has so far recognized Muck- enfuss as the legal representative of the St. Louis Club, That means that even should Von der Ahe and his friends or any other St. Louis combine succeed in buying the club at the receiver's sale the League would undoubtedly withhold the franchise. In other words, the League has come to the conclusion that baseball in St. Louis must boom, and that a winner there is neces- cary.” : _Under the pretense, therefore, that all they are coming here for is to boom the game these outsiders propose ttaking pos- session of the St. Louis Ciub’s property and running things here to suit themselves. They, in other words, are going to obtain possession of the Sit. Louis franchise with- out paying a penny for it, and in doing that they are going to make the bonds in the club worthless and to also leave its stock. holders with nothing on hand but a mort- gaged baseball park and a lot of debts, The same authority in New York who has stated that Muckenfues is working with Brush, Robison & Co., to deprive the St. Louis peop.e of their rights, says: ‘The scheme of Brush to get possession of the St.Louis franchise without paying for it has been worked before. In 1891 Albert J. John- son and others bought the Cincinnati Nu- tional League Club from Aaron Stern with the idea that the franch'se went with it. Johnson paid $40,000 for the club and play- ers. The league not only refused to give him a franchise, but also handed one to John T, Brush, who immediately put the present Cincinnati Club in shape. Johnson wia8 beaten in the courts and dropped the above amounts. Ever since then he’ has kept studiously gut of baseball. When he read of the muddle in St. Louis the other day he was quoted as saying that the man who bought that club at the receiver's sale should first find out in black and white whether he could get a franchise. A strong club in St. Louis will, according to the wise men,. boom the game, and the magnates, therefore, want to see such a thing come to pass."’ In the same way as he deprived Johnson of his rights, Brush is coming here to take away property belonging to St. Louis peo- ple. An attempt to dodge the main issue is made by stating that the fight is one between Von. der Ahe on the one side and Brush, Robison & Co. on the other, and that the latter Le gems ogy good baseball and Von der Ahe bad, As arematter of fact, Von der Ahe cuts very little figure in the pro- ceedings. His holdings in the St. Louis baseball club are now small compared to the interest held by the bondholders and Stockholders. It is a question now of out- siders trying to rob them of their rights and property, and under the cifcumstances every loyal ‘St. Louisan must take their side of the question. The outsiders count on taking possession after Thursday, when the case will be passed on by Judge Spen- cer. They believe he will order the property sold then at receiver's sale. By their actions and declarations they hope to frighten off prospective purchasers and to buy in the property for a song. It re- mains to be seen whether the St. Louis courts and the people who own the bonds and sto¢ksa in the corporation are to be as easily frightened as these outside basebal] porates hope for and the day of reckoning s not far off.

THE RULES GOVERNING CASE. —————— No Racing Is Permitted. in the Ken- tucky Latitude by Turf Congress in Jar.uary, February or December. The published statements that there would be winter racing at Louisville in defiance of the rules of Turf Congress has created a genuine sensation in turf circles, Especiall did. tne announcement create a commotion over at Cincinnati, where the secretary’s office of the Turf Congress is located. | Secretary Hopper is away in California but His assistant, John Dillon, is at home, and he was loud in asserting that if any winter racing was attempted at Louisville all parties connected with the track would be outlawed, In the report sent out from Louisville concerning the plans of the new association it was stated that the racing would be con- ducted under the sanction of the Turf Con- gress. This cannot be done. If racing started at Louisville this winter every Fofficial owner, jockey..and trajser that takes part'in the «port Will be put under the ban of the Turf Congress and: barred fin the East and West. n other words, the meeting will be an “‘outlaw’’ one, the same as those conducted°at Wheeling and throughout the State of Pennsylvania this year, The reason this statement is made is due to the stringent rules governing the sub- ject. By-law No. 6 of the Turf Congress rules reals: “The Congress shall not recognize, or its members permit any racing in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and north of latitude 35 degrees during the months of January, February or December of any year; nor shall y racing by e:ec- tric or other artificial Tight be recogn @:d or permitted anywhere or at any time of the year. For participating in any such meetng or racing, so prohibited, each mem- ber of the congress shall disqualify and thereafter exclude from engagement or participation in any meeting or racing held by it or upon its track, every person who shall act in any official capacity, or as bookmaker or pool seller; every owner or trainer who shall run any horse, and every porwr who shall ride the same; and ever 1orse that shall run, or is owned, traine or under the control of any of the herein above mentioned persons. And if any as- sociation not a member of this congress shall permit any of the above disqualified persons or horses to participate in racing on its course, then we Ptapt oa. . = sons thereafter participating in its fra shall likewise be disqua ified. This rule shal also apply to all race tracks upon which racing takes place or is allowed. Members of the congress shall not book upon events on disqualified tracks and associations not members, so doing, shall be disqualified, and those persons and horses in any man- ner participating in the racing on the tracks thereof, shall be barred all privileges on the tracks of members of the congress. Any member of the congress knowingly failin to enforce the provisions of this article shall be expelled.” At Louisville on Sunday, Lum Smith, one of the projectors of the talked of enter- prise, said: “T anticipated some opposition on the part of the Turf Congress people. But if the Turf Congress does. not give us per- mission we will have the meeting anyway. The racing at Wheeling, Va., has been abandoned, and the horseowners there are eager to. go somewhere to race during the winter. Some of the horses have gone to Carnegie, Pa., where a winter meeting is in progress, but the majority of them will cee anne when they find that a winter meeting is to be conducted in Kentucky.”’ When told of what Assietant Secretary Dillon had to say on the subject, Mr. Si mons said: “We will conform to every rule of the Turf Congrese if it is in our power to do so. If the rules demand that we must have a mile track then we will have a mile track. There is plenty of room on my place for a mile track, and it will not take much more to build the track longer. “If there are any other requirements of the Turf Congress or Jockey Club we will get within them, for we are going to have a winter race meeting. Of course, if there’ are eome rules that we cannot follow, such as not allow! racing during the winter, as Assistant “Recretary Dillon mentions, then we will be compelled to conduct an outlaw track, but at present I cannot see anything but a legitimate race course; Please put it strong that we Intend to have everything regular and in conformity with the turf rules, for we do not want to an- tagonize any one. But, as I eaid before, if it is impossible to give_@ meeting with the sanction of the Turf Congress, then we'll give one without that sanction. So it will be seen by the above that Louls- ville, the real home of the thoroughbred, the largest city in the qreatekt racehorse State in the Union, is going to have winter racing. outlaw or no oullaW, and whether the Turf Congress likes it or not. Men in St. Louis, who have had more experience than any offers at the outlaw game, say the proposed meet at Lou eavilie, if given in oppose tion to the rf Congress, and run ae an “outlaw” is certain of failure. Memphis Jockey Club Stakes. MEMPHIS.

WANT CYCLE RACING CONTROL. The L. A. W. Division of Rhode Island Is Eager to Keep Up the Fight Against the Outlaws. Hiarry Elkes, who defeated “‘Baby’’ Gib- son, the Cincinnati boy, at the Madison Square Garden last Saturday night, will ride Frank Waller a 50-mile race in New York this evening. Wailer has recovered from the effcets of the six-day race, and will go after Elkes in the best condsétion. He is a epeedy and game rider, and out- side of Michael and McDuffie, he is the only one who is able to ride anywhere near bikes. ‘The race to-night will be a great one, and will draw a large crowd. Elkes is in great condétion, and will ride as he never rode before, as this race means a great deal to him. In his career as an inaoor rider he has never met defeat, and if he wins to-night’s race he w.l retire from in-door riding with a clean record. Next. week Ejikes will go to Frisco, where he will try and arrange a match with Jimmy Michael. Elkes is the on! American rider who has any show wit M:chael at the middle distances, and it is thought he wi.l take the Welchman’'s meas- ure before he is a year older. He will take on the Frenchman, Tayloure, when that in- dividual returns to this country next June. He also has a race with McDuffie and Lin- ton. It is the wish of all American enthus- iasts to have a middie distance champion who is an American, and if Elkes does not make one they will probably never have one. The Rhode Island division of the League of American Wheelmen is one of the new divisions that is still in favor of controllin cycling on the track. The members of tha division will do all they can at the National Assembly to prevent the L. A. . from abandoning cycle racing. This division will almost sure to meet with disappoint- ment, as nearly every other State in the country is in favor of abandoning control of cycle racing. In the early days of cycling when the high wheel was used on the track the rider was handicapped according to the size of his wheel—the largest wheel on the scratch and the smallest on the limit mark. Now it is different. The L. A. W. outlaw fight caused a severe loss to the cycling promoters in Paris. In the year of 1897 the profits of the Grand Prix of Paris were 23,077 francs, while the profits of 1898 were only 7,633 francs. The ‘great fall in the receipts is said to be due to the fight between the cycle organization and the riders. The French and German riders, it must be remembered, were rebel- Hous, too. They broke away from the International Cycling Association. The coming of the new year seemed to have a demoralizing effect on the Associa- tion football players who usually cavort around the gridiron at Sportsman’s Park on a Sunday afternoon wearing the uni- forms of ether the St. Teresas hamrocks Cappels or the Cycling Club, * : he games echeduled for Sunday after. noon were to be between the Shamrocks and the Cappels and the St. Teresas and the Cycling Club The first game started off between the Shamrocks and the Cappels, and when the teams walked upon the field it could be seen that the greater portion of their best play- ers were miasing, and consequently several} youngsters had to be substituted in their places in order to play the scheduled games. The game started with but a few hun. dred spectators in the stands, who were continually kept buey stamping their feer to keep them warm or else gorg'ng them. selves with hot ‘‘welners’’ to keep the tn. ner man hot. The first half was pretty evenly contested, but in the second the Cappels fell before the green and the result Was an easy vic- tory for the Shamrocks. The only real feature in the debut of young Semblage in fast company wearing the uniform of the Cappels. He made himself popular among the spectators by a marvelous corner kick. He got the ball. directly in front of the green's goal, and the ball. by a nice Kick, went through. The final score was 7 goals to 4, in favor of the green. THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS.

STONE SIP! FIREMAN His Leg Crushed and It May Have to Be Amputated. Fireman George Smith was thrown from Hose Reel No. 7 at Eleventh street and Clark avenue Sunday night, while en route to a fire. The wheels passed over his right leg, crushing it badly. Acting Superintendent Dr. John Dean of the City Hospital says the fireman's leg will probably have to be amputated. The fireman also sustained severe bruises about the face and body. He was making a BRAVE FIRBMAN SMITH, short turn when the accident occurred. Smith is 52 years old, married, and the father of three little children. He is ac- counted one of the bravest fire fighters tn the department. He was suffering the most intense pain Monday. The tears rolled down his cheeks as he said to Dr. Dean: “Please try to save my leg. Don't cut it off unless you have to, y family is entirely depen@ent upon me for support and I can't afford to h@pdisablied.”’ Dr. Dean was visibly ffected. “I'll do all I can for you, Mr. Smith,” he said, “but I can’t make any promise. The leg is in bad ahape.” Then the physician turned away and re- mirked: van pretty rough on ~poor ws but J am afraid it will have to be one.*’ , ] s European & WU. 8. inheritances col.

Just as he concluded an eloquent sermon at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, at Vande- venter and Washington avenues, Sunday morning. Rev. Jesse K. Brennan fainted in his pulpit The choir hushed on the first notes of an anthem, and a wave of excitement swept over the large and fashionable congrega- tion. A dozen men rushed to Dr. Bren- nan’s side, but several minutes passed be- fore their efforts to revive him were suc- cessful. He was finally aselated to his home, at 4187 Washington avenue. Dr. Brennan had been seuffering two weeks from grip, and the delivery of his sermon completely exhausted him. BACK FROM QUARANTINE. Fred Lindsley Recovered and Little Ruth Will Soon Be Convalescent.

STODDARD MEN SAID TO HAVE NEWMAN’S SUPPORT. STATE AUDITOR SEIBERT IS ALSO STANDING BY THE GOV- ERNOR’S CANDIDATE. SAM COOK IS LIKELY TO TAKE QUITE A PART. Call for a Special Session of the Demo- cratic State Committee Is Looked Upon as Being of Sig- nificance, Specia] to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 2.—If W. J. Ward of Stoddard County hasn’t a long lead in the Speakership race, he and his friends are the most skillful bluffers that Missouri politics has produced in many years. The leading candidates opposed to Mr. Ward—James H. Whitecotton of Mon- roe and George T. Lee of Carter—pooh-pooh the Ward boom, but they are evidently frightened and are working like Trojans to counteract the strong Ward sentiment that was created last night. The feature of to-day’s situation that gives Ward additional strength is the gén- erally understood fact that he has effected a combination with Col. Henry Newman, camdiidate for Chief Clerk of the House. Another Ward factor that means much is the fact that he seems to have corralled most of the farmers. A farmer member who wag a prominent member of the power- ful Farmers’ Club two years ago, said this morning that the agriculturist members would come to an understanding some time to-day, and that there was little douwtt that by a large majority they favored the election of Ward. The Ward people are re- celving support, too, from State Auditor Seiber, who comes from Cape Girardeau, a neighboring county to Stoddard. Ward’s opponente are charg: ng that in Supporting him Auditor Seibert is acting on behalt of Gov.. Stephens and Col. W..ll- lam H. Phelps. This is denied by Mr. Sei- bert and Ward’s friends, who are doing ali in their power to separate their candidate from the Governor and the lobby. here is more politics in this fight for control of the Legisiature than appears on the surface. The division between the lriends and enemies. of the Governor is be- coming more clearly marked as each hour passes, snd all the State off.cers are being If the many re- orts be true, Auditor Seibert has allied imself with the Governor. It is becoming more and more apparent that Attorney- General Crow is the administration candi- date for Governor, State Secretary Lésueur’s ambition is said to be vacillating between the gover- norship and another term as Secretary of State. If he chooses the first he clashes with the Governor and also with Mr. Dock- ery, who wantes'to be governor, and if he diooses th lattes e runs afoul of State Chairman ‘as, Cook, who is a full- =... Hy ifor Secretary of State. All these influences are pulling and hauling for advantage..in. the Speakership fight. Sam Cook comes very near dominating the State Committee and the calling of a meet- ing of the body here this afternoon has led to the belief that it intends to take a hand in’ the speakership fight. Ward's friends are up in arms against such a move and several of them served notice on Mr. Cook and members of the Committee that ney must Keep theif hands off. is warning will probably have the éf- fect of preventing the committee as a body from interfering, but the majority individu- al members will certainly use their in- fluence against Mr, Ward. Mr. Whitecotton and Mr. Ward reached here last night. The first thing the former heard was that .the members were stampeding to Ward, He went to work this morning and claimed at noon that he had processes. in large measure in counteract- es the Wafd-sentiment. seorge T, Lee, o has opened - headquarters on Main street, also claiméd to bé serene and con- fident. “TI know the Influences * are at work for .Ward,’’ he said. ‘Jim Seibert is root- in gfor him, but I am not frighte ned. One can make a lot of noise with a smal] horn, you know. I wihstay in this fight to the end, and I don’t expect to be the last In the race by any means.” W. 8. Pope of Cole County, whd seems to have been left high ahd dry by ‘the Gov- ernor, says he is still a candidate, and will remain in the contest until de feated. % have sonees votes pledged,’’. he stat- ed, ‘‘to justify In ‘staying in with a good prospect of success.’ Matt Hall of Saline and O. M, Barnett of Pettis, candidAatés for Speaker, are not here. and their absence at this critical time is causing. comment. Always suépicious of the quiet man, the politicians are giving the tip that both these men: should be watched. Indeed, Mr. Whitecetton intimated to-day that Mr. Hall was a factor in the fight that everybody might have to reckon. with be- fore it is over. Neither of these meén has had much to Say and their silencé ahd absence have bacome almast impressive. R. P. Thompb- son, Col. Newman's jeading rival for the Chief Clerkship of the House, is not here. and his friends have begun to wonder what has become of him. ‘They say he would better get here quick if he expects to stem bho tide of the Ward-Newman combina- on, The fight over the Secretaryship of the Senate is waxing warm. W. R. Painter of Carroll is the avowed anti- Administra- tion candidate. and his campaign is being managed by Secretary Virgil Conklin of the State Committee and Senator J. IF. Morton of Ray County. Gov. Stephens still announces unreserved- lv his opposition to Whitecotton, but claime he will be satistied With Ward, Barnett, Pope or Hall. He did not include Lee in this list, which is significant in view of the latter's interview in the Post-Dispatch, de- nouncing the Governor, The farmers members of the Third Con- gressional District held a meeting this morning. No action was taken, and it was the sense of the meeting that the farmers would better not hold a formal caucus on the organization of the House. They say they are so confident that Ward will be py A Speaker thit they do not see any necessity fer caucus action. They say there is no use making trouble with a cau- cus unless ® is nec ary. “Ward seems s&s a eure thing to us that we @o not need to bind ourselves by oaveus action to eunport him,” was the ex- planation of & member.

The dance was to ragger- dom what the Columbian Club ball was to Jewish society, or the Veiled Prophet's ballis to all society. It was the real thing. Tehre were guys and petties in picturesque ragger costume; gallons of beer in thimble glasses; music by the band; policemen and ‘fly mugs,” but a shooting Aappened, in spite of the guardians.

PLUMBERS’ SUPPLIES BURNED. Heuse of Cahill, Swift & Co. Badly Damaged—Fireman Smith Met With Serious Injury. Napoleon-like, Chiefs Desmond and Pickel, generals of the municipal army, went on a prow] Sunday night to see what vigilance their sentries kept. Silently they crept about the dark streets, cloaked and hooded, against recognition, with their night sticks under cover. It was a sorry night for more than one Patrolman, who found his slumbers in a doorway rudely shattered by a prod in the abdomen and then confronted with the austere presence of the chiefs. The distinguishing feature of the even- ing, which crowned the chiefs- with a blaz- ing halo, was the discovery of a fire. A real fire accommodatingly broke out in the building of Cahill, Swift & Co., plumbers, at 121 to 127 South Seventh street, just as the chiefs were passing. As is usual in such cases, smoke “issued from the win- dows,” and the chiefs saw it. With their little keys they opened a fire alarm box and turned in the alarm. Then the chiefs rushed back to the burning building and battered down the doors. here was no one in the paneine. The damage done was about $15,- George W.

President Proctor Brings Forward Facts That Serve as Powerful Argument for the Merit System. WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.—In an interview discussing the governing of colonies, given out here by Pres.dent Proctor of the Civil Service Commission, he says: “Having assumed the responsibility, which is a tremendous one, of giving good govern- ment to Hawaii, Cuba, Porto Rico and the Fhilipp.nes, we must now decide whether we wiil give to these islands the old sys- tem Of partisan and personal government, Which has been accorded by Spa.n to her colonies for the past 40 years, and which has resulted, as has been well said, ‘in los- ing to Spain a world,’ or give them a gov- ernment such as England has given to her world-w.de dependencies, where all ap- pointments are made upon the basis of as- certained fitness, and wuich has resulted in g.Ving a stable and peaceful government to the colonial dependencies of, Great s#ritain, “It is fortunate that .we can contrast these two sysiems of colonial government and their results.

The following year i¢tngland assumed the government ofr India and put in whut is known as a merit system, putting men in all positions below the hignest admiuistra- tive offices from open, competitive exam- inations, and it is a noteworthy fact that the improvement of the civil service in Great britain came to England by way of India. AS a result England keeps only 74,- QW svo.d ers in India, waich amounts to only one iu. every 383800. The same ratio in the Philipp.ies wouid call for an army of 210 men. ‘“‘In the Island of Jamaica, where the con- ditions are really less favorable than in Porto Rico, England has fewer than 100 men, enough British soldiers to police and keep in order a population of over 700,000.

It was half an hour before the squall passed and the slanting downpour of hail ceased. Then the Vindobala came Into view again. The lifeboat moved nearer. It was seen that the seas were breaking over the ship. drenching the sailors. The air was bit.n cold, and the lifeboat crew wWwon- dered how long the poor fellows had been exposed to the cruel weather.

LONDON, Jan. 2.—Mr. Chamberlain's at- titude regarding the Boer troubles in the Transvaal has thus far been firm. He re- fuses to be drawn out by President Krueger and has deprecated, publicly, the attitude of the latter’s extreme anti-British sup porters, asserting that the relations be- tween England and the Transvaal are ex- cellent. The inflammatory dispatches from South Africa have been evidently untrustworthy. Still it is undeniable that there i@ always some trouble in the air in the Transvaal. It is reported that President Krueger's health is far from satisfactory. He is an old man, and his death would remove the reatest obstacle to the policy of Cecil thodes and Mr. Chamberlain. President Krueger openly deprecated the attitude of the extreme anti-Britishers, de- Claring that the relations of the Transvaal! With England were most satisfactory. It is hardly likely that the British Govern-| ment will rush to arms in behalf of Brit- ishers of the same type as the frothy ag!- tators who played at rebellion three years aco and who asked Jan®@ on to come and ald them, and then stampeded from Johbannes- —a ae Moment that fighting seemed im- nent.
