World's Fair Grounds, Chicago,
Jnne27. The last stage of the great
cowboy race from Chadron, Neb., was
entered upon when John Berry left De
Kalb. Ills. GO miles west of here on
"Poison," the horse that he came through
all the wav with. Interest in the finale
was manifested at an early hour, when a
crowd of curious ones gathered at the
Sixtv-third street entrance of Buffalo
Bill's Wild West show, which, accord
ing to the stipulation of the contest, was
made the terminus of the ride. One of
the earliest arrivals was Mr. John G.
Short, president of the Illinois Humane
society, who came on behalf of the so
cietv to see the condition of the animals
as they arrived. One of the conditions.
in fact the prime condition of the offer
of $S00 made by Buffalo Bill to the win
ner.was that the horses should show that
they had not been pressed beyond their
capacity to do good work. He was
shortly followed by Major Burke, press
agent of the show, who was at De Kalb
to witness the departure of the contest
ants upon the last stage of their journey
Colonel Cody and Nat Salisbury were
also present in the former's tent on tho
ground, naturally deeply interested in
the result of the struggle. In addition
to these were numerous attaches of the
show, their friends and cowboys, who
felt an interest in tho contest and who,
while they waited, discussed the chances
of the four riders who remained to cover
the full distance of the race.
John Kerry the Winner.
The patience of tho watchers was not
put to much of a test, for at 0:23 Berry
dashed up to tho entrance amidst a shout
of huzzas, and dismounted m front of the
tent in which the gentlemen named were
seated. The rider, as might be sup
posed, was thoroughly fatigued, and re
mained in conversation with the others
onlv a few moments while he was con
gratulated on his safe accomplishment
of the arduous task. Piloted by Major
Burke, tho weary hero of the hour was
taken to the private dining tent on the
grounds, and after a breakfast of fried
chicken, coffee and biscuits, he retired to
seek out needed repose. Berry left
De Kalb at 10 o'clock, and covered the
GO miles in 11 honrs and 20 minutes
"Poison" was examined by a veterinary
snrceon. and found to be in excellent
condition.
Emmet Albright Second.
The next arrival at 1 1 :30 created more
excitement even than that of Berry's
It was Emmet Albright, with whom
originated the idea of the contest, who
enmo in on "Outlaw." Ho dashed up at
a smart gallop, -which he had maintained
for tho last 2") of the 1,000 miles covered,
and dismounted at the sidewalk. Lead
ing his faithful animal, Albright walked
tlirough the gates to the tents, and was
informed that his mode of entrance would
not do, as he must finish on horseback.
So remounting, when every movement
gave him the most exquisite pain, he faced
about, returned to the sidewalk, and
then rode tlirough at the same fast
gallop, reigning up his horse sharply in
the most approved cowboy style. This
occupied two minutes and his time of
arrival is given as 11:25. The 60 miles
from DcKalb was covered by him in 8
lours and 25 minutes. Albright was
the only one of the boys to bring in the
two horses with which he started in tho
race, Outlaw and Joe Bush. He was ac
companied by his brother-in-law, E. W.
Wisehart, who joined him at Fort
Dodge, la. Mr. Albright was not in as
good condition physically as his horses.
both of which were represented to be
prime and fit for anything. Outlaw, as
Major Burke graphically related, en
deavored to kick everything within
reach after he arrived at tho stable. Al
bright said to a reporter: "I have been
able to keep only seven meals in my
stomach since starting and since reach
ing the ground have been vomiting. For
five nights I have not slept, except as I
nodded while on horseback, but I feel
pretty well now and think after eating
something I shall be able to sleep. I

after Smith and Gillespie. I don't know
what has become of them, I did not see
them at any tim e on the way, but they
have taken another route. I came by
another road."
Horses In Goutl Condition.
Mr. Albright did not look at all worn
out by his ride and was able to partake
of a breakfast similar to that furnished
to Mr. Berry. He thinks he is entitled
to the prize, Berry having made the
race under protest. Major Burke
was asked regarding this. He
id the protest was based
upon a technicality. "It was agreed
among the boys," said the major, "that
none should know in advance the stop
ping places along the route. Berry, hav
ing some ability in that line, at the re
quest of the committee, did part of their
clerical work and the other boys in the
race protest against it. But it is a ques
tion for the future and subordinate. The
principal thing is that their horses should
come in good shape, and that the race
has been one of honest endurance and
skill."
President John G. Shortal, of the Illin
ois Humane society, who was seated in
the tent, said: "Berry and Albright's !
horses are in splendid condition. m I have i
no complaint to make of them. The '
horses appeared fresh and sound and
were turned out to grass immediately.
If the others are in as good condition as
these are the society will have no com
plaint to make."

Sax Francisco, June 27. Among the
passengers who arrived on the Bteamer
China from the orient was Rear Admiral
D. E. Harmony, who is in command of
the United States naval force on the
Asiatic station up to a few weeks ago.
Admiral Harmony said:
"When I left for home everything was
quiet, but I expected an outbreak on the
Yang Tse Kiang river whenever an at
tempt is made to enforce tho Geary act.
Affairs in China, as far as the Americans
are concerned, aro in my opinion in a
very unpleasant condition, and may end
in an outbreak."

Rapee Paper Strong.
Washington, June 27. One effect of
the action of the government of India
in stopping free coinage of silver has
been to renew the demand for an
extra session" of congress, and this
view of the situation was pre
sented to Secretary Carlisle by
many of his congressional callers and
by numerous telegrams from all sections
of the country. Before going to the
cabinet meeting, Secretary Carlisle re
ceived a cablegram from London an
nouncing a further decline in the price
of silver to 35 pence. At this price a
silver'dollar is worth .r8?.( cents.
Forced to Quit on Silver.
Simla, June 27. In explaining to the
India council "the bill providing for tho
stoppage of the free coinage of silver and
other monetary measures, tho adoption
of which was announced Monday, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, viceroy of India.
said he hoped that the government would
not be criticised for, disposing of tho im
portant question natising sitting. The
key note of the scheme was rather to pre
vent a further fall in exchange and to
raise the value of the rupee. The fixing
of provisional exchange at Is 4d provided
automatic means of preventing the clos
ing of the mints and tho violent disturb
ing of exchange rates. The rate of ex
change has been fixed high enough to re
lieve the government of the most press
ing necessities. There should be no mis
take, the viceroy said, about tho facts.
It was not proposed to sulislitute gold
for silver currency. No attempt would
be made at present to fix a legal tender
price for gold. While the ratio of value
was mentioned, it was only provisional.
In exclusion, the viceroy expressed the
government's sense of the gravity of the
step it was about to take. Personally, he
was averse to all attempts to give money
commodities a fixed value, but the time
had arrived when to remain inactive was
impossible. The government would be
unworthy of the name if it left things
alone. It had not taken the momentous
sten-'with light hearts. He hoped its ac
tion Would be fruitful in good results,
and'-that a sufficient reserve of gold

Kansas City, June 27. Treasurer E.
E. Starr and Delegate J. T. Cunningham
of the Cherokee nation have arrived in
Kansas City to confer with the directors
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Trust
company relative to the sale of
Cherokee Strip bonds, which
amount to 16,640,000. Messrs. Starr
and Cuuningham came from Chicago,
where S. R. West, representing the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Trust com
pany, had submitted tho outline of a
proposition which the Cherokee repre
sentatives say they consider tho
most favorable yet offered, barring one
or two details. It was to obtain the
proposition in a definite form, and to
bring about the elimination of the ob
jectionable features that the two promi
nent Cherokees came to Kansas City. The
Missouri, Kansas and Texas is said to be
acting for western parties, whose names
are not disclosed. Christie & Janney,
bankers of New York, also bid for the
bonds, while the Cherokee representa
tives were in Chicago.

Comment of New Tork Newspapers on the
Pardon.
New York, June 27. Tho Tribune
and Herald are the only morning papers
that had a story on tho pardon of the
Chicago anarchists. The Tribune, says:
"Governor Altgeld of Illinois has as
sumed a responsibility of tho gravest
character in pardoning the Chicago an
archists who have been undergoing im
prisonment at Joliet. His reasons for
so doing will not bear examination, al
though he has set them forth at great
length. It is late in the day for Gover
nor Altgeld to come forward with the
assertion that they were not fairly
treated and that Jndge Gary manifested
prejudice against them."
The Herald Bays: "The announce
ment that all the Chicago anarchists at
thelinois state prison have been par
doned by Governor Altgeld is well cal
culated to startle the public. Not 1-jss
extraordinary reasons are given for this
action. It is strange that Governor
Altgeld, who has been in office six
months, has just made this amazing dis
covery. It is most remarkable that it
was not made by any of his predecessors
during the seven years, nor by either the
supreme ccurt of Illinois or the supreme
court of the United States, both of
which affirmed the conviction. Anarchy
in this country never received a more
deadly blow than when justice was
meted out to the bomb throwers who
terrified Chicago some years ago. It is
no time to silence the warning then
given to the anarchists now that the
cable almost daily brings news of anar
chistic outrages in various parts of
Europe, and we even read of a monu
ment to anarchy just erected in the city
of Chicago."

tins city for St. Louis at 10 p. m., was
foiled by a quarrel among tho robbers
which caused one of them
others away.
Last Wednesday a man named Ben
nington told a couple of Omaha detec
tives that two men named Charles Mc
Clure and Allen Squires, with whom he
pretended to be in league, had a plan to
rob tho express the coining Saturday
night at West Side, a small station on
tho western edge of tho city, where an
unsuccessful attempt at robbery was
made several weeks ago.
At the request of the detectives Ben
nington contrived to have the officers see
his pals, a point and time having been
agreed on the following day. While the
officers were somewhat suspicious of the
story they reported the matter to Chief
Seavey who detailed five men to board
tho train when it left Omaha Saturday
night and be prepared to meet the
robbers should an attempt be made.
West Side was passed without event and
the officers left the train at South
Omaha.
The same detectives were again seen
by Bennington, who said that the rob
bery was not attempted Saturday night
because tho men were afraid that officers
got on the train at Fortieth and Leaven
worth streets, a short distance north of
West Side. Bennington further said
that tho robbery would bo again at
tempted and said that the meeting place
of the robbers would bo at the lake in
Hanscom park and that the officeas
would find himself, McClnre and
Squires there soon after 8 o'clock.
Detectives Savage, Dempsey, Hayes
and Hudson went to the lake at the time
set and found tho three men lying on the
grass. McClure and Squires pulled re
volvers, but concluded not to use them
when theydicovered that the officers were
ready for this. On tho men were found
three good revolvers and two flash guns.
In searching them a sack was found se
creted under Squires' coat which con
tained four fuses, three masks, two pack
ages of dynamite and a bottle of ben
zine. The police here do not know these
men. McClure has a fresh bullet wound
in the left arm and from certain state
ments ho made it is supposed he, and per
haps tho others, were implicated in tho

Mnch Better Than Begging.
An urchin 9 years old, with a very
dirty face and a pair of bright eyes, ac
costed a woman as she was hurrying
across the common the other day.
"Pleaso to give me some money to get
me something to eat," he whined.
"No, I won't give you any money to
get you something to eat," was the .reply.
The lady mimicked his whine.
Finally she hired him to carry her um
brella to her office, and on their way
thither she gave him a dissertation on
labor and its fruits in phrases she thought
he would understand. She advised hun
to go into the newspaper business and
loaned him 20 cents to invest in papers,
after he had signed his name to a con
tract she drew up, promising to pay her
immediately he had cleared that amount.
In an hour and a half he came back to
the office proudly and deposited the
money loaned on her desk. She took 10
cents of it, and he kept the other tomako
further investments. The next day he
cleared $1.50. He was radiant.
"This is better than begging, isn't it?"
she asked.
"You bet," he said.
"Now, if I give you this 10 cents, will
you promise to buy with it what I shall
ask you?"
"Yes'm."
"Then buy a cake of soap and use it."
He said he would and went out. Bos
