His Reputation Ruined by His Asianlt on Ascot Waiter. BUYING OFF VICTIM DOES NOT HELP HIM American .lockcj Mlntiirlicily \ in- . fc-Htn IN TrjIriK til Afiiilrc Illil- hi | ? MrtlioilN of lliltl-.li Coin | M > | Horn. ( Copyright , 1SSD , by Press Publishing Co. ) LONDON , Juno IT. ( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) The Sloan in cident nt Ascot has Irretrievably damaged the American Jockey's reputation hcie. lie de nies absolutely that ho struck the wa'ter ' , but Mr. 0. T. Wilson of No. 2 llyder stmt , St. James , a gentleman of standing , is pre pared to swear anywhere tha * . Sloan was the culprit and not n compnnloj , ns Slati alleges. "I could only be mistaken on the suppo sition that I was not at Ascot at all and that the whoi'o affair was cnly an ugly dream , " said Mr. Wilson. "But three ladles who were with me can bearmo out that it was the most cowardly and dastardly act 1 have ever seen committed. " Sloan denies all and the waiter has been get out of the wa > and solaced with 100 to keep his mouth shut. The general opinion Is that he was a fool to accept the money , as he could have got ten times the amount. But he was a poor man and grasped at the llrst offer made him Slonn's denial goes a veiy short way fci the face of the faH that the Times , which rarely refers to such af fairs , gives an account of the Incident and mentions his name as the offender. > o Longer the Popular Iilnl. No doubt S/oan'B temper was even worse than usual at his Ill-fortune nt Afot , where he rode twenty-three races with only three wins , and these only dead heats. His star has been In the descendent some weeks now. Ho Is no longer the popular Idol. So much popu lar money has been lost on him that ho Is not run after or offered extravagant fees as ho was at the start , and his superiority , so unquestioned nt first , mow Is not only dis puted , but all spoitlmg writers hero have come to the conclusion that his style of rid ing utterly unfits him to finish as strongly- as his English rivals. His exhibition on Kent In the Prlnco of Wales stakes was especially feeble. The colt seemed to do just what ho liked with him In the early pait of the race , then after ly ing away from his horses he went from last to first In about 300 yards , repeating the mistake that cost him the Oaks on Sl- bola. He seems to bo tired of waiting In front , which won him so many races , and is gradually moulding his btvle on that of En glish jockcjs with anj thing but successful results. As Sloan's assault on the waiter at Ascot occurred after racing was over , the stewaids cannot take cognizance of It , but ho would bo summoned for assault had ho not squared the victim. It Is doubted whether Sloan will stay out the season here , ho Is so disgusted with his experiences , and his position will henceforth be vciy unpleasant. The waiter's face Is disfigured for life. He received two scorching cuts , one extending from the light corner of the mouth down to the chin ; the other runs from near the left corner up to the cheek for an Inch and a half. Sloan has always been personally disliked by his fellow Jockeys , and they are now certain to work to its utmost the prejudice excited against him. American HUMPH Uiilncky. No American horses except those trained by Hugglns won at Ascot , and even his won derfully successful stable scarcely did as anticipated in consequence of the terribly hard ground. The debut of the much talked of Old Buck II Is still further delayed. Slbola , who seemed to have a race or two at her mercy , was not sent out during the meet- Ing. To make up for this the Coventry stakes was won by Democrat , who atoned for several previous disappointments , and Sloan rode a capital race on him. Caiman , too , seems to be coming on very rapidly. Ho has a couple of engagements In the near future nt Now market and Goodwood , but It seems likely he will bo put by for the St. Leger. The performance of Flying Fox In the Derby was not generally liked , and It seems quite possible that Caiman will not outstrip him at Doncaster. Knight of the Thistle run a wonderfully good race , got- tlng third for the Royal Hunt cup , nnd the Improvement Hugglns effected In him slnco ho was purchased for a mere song Is simply marvelous. REBELS WILL BE KEPT BUSY nlilo Willet ; Ho Allowed a Vacation IliirliiK Ilatny NEW YORK , Juno 17. According to a Washington correspondent of the Journal and Advertiser , two important decisions were made at the meeting of the cabinet , held just before the president staiteJ for Holyoke , referring to the campaign in the Philippines. 1. That in view of the strength of Agul- naldo In the north , as developed In a dispatch fro'm General Otis , the aggressive campaign against the rebel chief must be renewed with vigor , 2. That the army and navy must cooperate - operate to maintain n tight blockade of Luzon in order to prevent the landing of supplies of any character for the rebel forces. In renewing the campaign against Agul- nnlJo , the president Is pursuing the same policy as that now In operation against the rebel forces In the south. President iMcKlnloy expressed surprise that the Insurgent forces should be able , ap parently , to procure Inexhaustible suppllcH of arms and ammunition and directions wore cabled to Admiral Watson to co operate with uencrai Otis in tryinsr to pre vent the Hndlns of munitions of war on the Island of Luzon. The blockdo of the Island was reported established some tlmo ao , but every en counter with the insurgents demonstrates that they will still have abundant supplies , Cabinet olllcors are of the opinion that If a strict blockade Is maintained the Insurgents will quickly exhaust their renounces. A point of Importance to the many ap plicants for commissions In the volunteer service was decided at today's meeting. Oen- oral Otis Is to name olllcerg for the three regiments of volunteers only In proportion to the number of men In the Philippines who re-enlist If only 3,000 shall enlist there General Otis would appoint only eighty or ninety of the total of ISO officers that would bo needed , the rest of the officers being ap pointed by the president from applicants In the United States.

A week ago the relatives nnd friends of John Rush were startled by the news of the death of his daughter , Gertrude. Al though stricken with tvpnold fovcr more than three weeks , still her untimely end was nn unhappy surprise for nil who knew of her illness. Tno family Is grief-stricken and hcart-soro at the realization that one of Us treasures is missing , but how muh con solation nnd mitigation of grief there should bo for them In the remembrance of her life and of the spontaneous outburst of sjmpathy manifested by nil her friends. The solemn funeral services of the Catholic church were attended by a host of people who filled St. Patilck's chuich and who par ticipated In the funeral , which was the largest ever seen In that parish. The ev.- prcssivo faces of those who attended < he services and listened to the censoring words of s > mpathy and eulogy uttered by Rev. rather McCarthy told most forcibly of the high esteem In which Gertrude Agnes Rush's memory Is held.

It was reported on the streets } estcrdaj that the union carpenters emplojcd on various buildings in the city -will strike on Monday unless the boss plumbers sign the agreement presented by the Journeymen plumbers of Omaha. The boss plumbers of South Omaha are members of the Tnuismls- slsslppl league , an organization of Iowa , Ne braska , Kansas nnd Colorado plumbers , nnd which Is recognized by the National Associa tion of Master Plumbers , but have no local association , there being only three In the city. One of the master plumbers stated the situation In these words yesterday : "Tho journe > men plumbers of Omaha seem towant to dictate to the master plumbers of South Omaha how business shall be con ducted in this city. They came down herewith with an agreement for us to sign which demanded that wo pay 50 cents an hour for eight hours work. The demand was also made that wo close our places of business at nooh on Saturday. This would make forty-four hours' work a week , amounting to $22 in wages. No complaint is made by the master plumbers as to the wage scale and that part of the agreement will bo readily slgndd , but the master plumbers ob ject to being compelled to close1 at noon on Saturday. All wo want is to be able to conduct our business as we see fit , nnd keep our places of business open during regular hours. For work which has to bo performed after noon on Saturday we are expected to pay our men at the rate of 7li cents an hour , and this we- consider unreasonable. If all other mechanics stopped work on Saturday noon wo would bellllng to sign this agreement , but as they < lo not wo can not see why \\c should bo singled out and made to lose the half day or rise a big prlco for the four hours' work In the aft ernoon. ! \o .Iiirlnillrtlon. "Further , we hold that the Journejmen's union of Omaha has no Jurisdiction In South Omaha , but that Is not a question to bo haggled over. Wo will sign the agicement providing the Saturday afternoon closing clauEo is eliminated , It i = > understood that in order to force the master plumbeis to sign the carpenters \\111 rufuso to ork on Monday. In my opinion this action will not hasten a settlement any " When F. J. Lo\\is purchased the old PI- vonka block at Twenty-fourth and L streets and btarted to remodel It he let the con tract for plumbing to George Brlggs The plumbers under Urlggs worked ono day when the carpenters teamed that ho had not signed the iron-clad agreement offere-1 by the journeymen plumbers nnd the next day they failed to show up for work.
