"I am Informed It Is not desired that any specific project shall be advocated here, but at the same time you consider the improvement of the navigable chan nels and ports of the country as essential fot our development and that these ports and channels require the fostering care and assistance of the National Govern ment. With this view. It Is In your power to educate public opinion and to organ ize efforts for the enactment of legisla tion which shall be national in Its scope and for the benefit of the whole people. “In view of necessary limitations in the amounts appropriated in river and har bor acts ami the pressing need for deeper channels and Improved facilities along es tablished lines of traffic. It Is better to appropriate for localities where traffic la th Infantry, whom they en ticed to an Isolated place, killed with ho les and buried on the spot. They, too, were sentenced to death. A formidable array of charges was that against Juan Confessor, a native Filipino, who was tried for aiding the enemy, violating the laws of war. being a war rebel, arson and perjury.

THE LEXINGTON RACES 80 ICE THING ABOUT YESTER DAY’S CLASSIC. Peter Stilling, the Colt Owned by Chicago Men, Won the 3-year old Futurity, Walnut Hall Second. Harkness colt, Walnut Hall, came pret ty close to making the Standard Oil man land the Kentucky futurity for 3-year old trotters two years In succession. I-ant r.'Rr Foreno, his Moke Ally, won It in tlOl-4. and yesterday Wallnut Hall was second to Peter Sterling In 2:111-2. a sec ond and a quarter slower than Ferenos' mark. Peter Stirling Is a chestnut gelding that was bred on the Riverside Park farm at Berlin, WIs., where IX C. Palmeter, of Chicago, 111., has a large breeding estab lishment. Yesterday made the fourth start of the colt this year, and he has never been beaten. The only time he has been extended much was at Evansville, Ind., three weeks ago, when he won in 2:161-4 from a good Held. Be Is a well bred youngster, his sire being Baronmore (2:141-4), and his dam Media, who wag the dam of a couple of other fast trot ters. Black Robert (2:131-4), and Marble (2:14). He has been handled since his yearling days by J. E. Chandler, who drove him to victory yesterday. Haw thorne, the Ally that Hnlshed behind Wallnut Hall yesterday, was second in the Horse Review Futurity to Rowellan, and second to Wallnut Hall at Cincin nati last week. She won a 35,000 purse at Terre Haute, though trotting the second heat In 2:14 1-4. The chestnut Ally, Mary P. Leyburn, who Anlshed fourth behind Hawthorne yesterday. Is the property of the owner of Boralma—Lawson of Boston. He gave the sum at $10,000 tor her for the avowed purpose of winning the race that she An lshed third in yesterday. Last year she met Walnut Hall In the 2-year old Fu turity and boat him one heat In 2:21, Aghting hard for the others, but yester day Walnut Hall beat her as he did last year. In her Arst effort this season she .was beaten bv Hawthorne at Terre Haute after winning the Arst heat in 2:16 1-4. Rowellan. winner of the Horse Review Stakes at Hartford. Conn., took sick early this season and his condition was such that it was not thought proper to keep up the Anal payments in the. 3-year-old Kentucky Futurity. He came round all right, however, and has developed Into one of the star 3-year-olds of this season, and his mark of 2:15 1-4 would probably have caused trouble If he had been in the Lexington race yesterday. About the biggest stumbling black that would have been In yesterday's race would have been Admiral Dewey, the 3-year-old colt owned by the Boston millionaire, Malcolm Forbs. The colt is sired by Bingen (2:06 1-4,) out of the trotting queen Nancy Hanks (2:04). The eolt has started twice this season, winning In Jogs, his best mark being 2:14 1-4. A few weeks ago he strained a ligament and Forbes having an eye out for the future was afraid of hurting him and scratched him in yes terday's Futurity at Lexington. Quite a party of Montgomery gentle men are In Lexington and from the boom which the meeting there opened yester day the ten days promise to be full of good things. Yesterday for the Arst time this season the most royally bred 2-year-old thor oughbred in America was beaten—Mr. Whitney's Hanover youngster, Yankee. Clarence Mack ay1 s colt. Hono, beat him In the rich Matron Stakes that was the feature of the opaping day of the Morris Park meeting. Heno ran a close second to Endurance by Right when Schorr's great Ally won the third special at (Jravesend. on the 23th of September, The Ally ran the six furlongs In 1:08 3-5. the former track record being 1:09 2-5. and the gameness with which Heno hung to her in that race proved him to be a high class colt. Though the time was a little slower than In the past yet yesterday's races was a close running to the Futuri ty In public Interest. Most of the Mont gomery money went in on Yankee, but there is no kick coming as It must have been a hard fought race. Squire Brown. rii X X/XV O X 1XVXXU v« Lawson’s 10,000 Filly, Mary P. Leyburn, Finished Fourth. Lexington, Ky„ Oct. 8.—The three open ing events of the Kentucky Trotting As sociation meeting here today were won In straight heats, though each was hard fought to the wire. In the Kentucky Fu turity, value $16,000, Walnut Hail, the favortte, could do no better than lap with Peter Stirling around the circle and fin ish a half length behind. Peter Stirling was forced to do his best In each hfgt. Howthorne succeeding to second place in the third when Walnut Hull broke In the stretch and making the clip home furi ous. The start* were exceptionally good and at all stages the contest was beauti ful, the leaders being abreast much of the time. _ Pan Patch ^is favorite In the Tennes see 2:08 pace and was never in danger, though Shadow Chimes pre ssed him at the wire. Confessor and VVaubun pushed Captor three heats In 2:09 3-4. Confessor finished short a nose In the second and a head in the third heat Waubun was a strong tip till the finish of the last heat, end much money was placed accordingly.
