cap, an Opening; Event.
NEW TORK, April 24. The racing acena
shifts tomorrow from Acuueduct to Ja
maica. The event of the day will be the
Excelsior Handicap at ons mile and one
sixteenth, the value of which la SlO.OuO.
Fifteen of th best horaes In training are
carded to go, with Major Dalngerfield car
rying the top weight of 120 pounds. Rain
or shine theie will be a great crowd pres
ent to see the horses start In the handicap,
for on paper It looka to be one of the
most open eventa of the year. It promises
to furnish a better race than It did last
year, when the Inaugural struggle wss
won by the late William C. Whitney's
Blackstock, the public favorite. Tomorrow
a number of the horses will probably go to
the puet carrying plenty of money. Oars
man and Buttona seemingly are the oholoe
of the layera, although Rosetlnt, who won
the fastest mile of the year at Acqueduct
on Saturday, haa plenty of supporters, as
will also Rostand, VV'otan and the lightly-
weighted Lord Badge. Major Dalnger
field, with hla heavy tmpoat, Is hardly
considered a factor so esrly In the season,
as he Is a Iste horse, and Charles Elwood
has been running In notoriously bad form
this spring. The horses, weights and prob

Fremont MoKeason, politician and former
state aenator, now present constable of
Emerald precinct, moat of which la a part

by the antics of bis favortts little red

the story ootnes first.
When the telephone company began to
out up Lancaster county with wlrss and
poles, tt found that MoKesson lived so far
out of the way of ordinary travel that
It would not pay to run a wire to his
house, consequently McKesson was told
that he would be oonneoted up with the
outside world Just as soon as it could be
dons without extra espenso to the com
pany. The closest telephone wire to the Mc

More Speeches In Senate,
The time of the senate the present week
will be devoted wholly to clearing the
calendar preparatory to adjournment whloh
most senators still say will occur during
the present week. There remains only
one appropriation bill to be passed by the
senate, that for the military academy. A
number of the supply bills are still In
conference, however, and It is expected
there will be more or less discussion of
conference reports. The general calendar
Is very heavy and an effort will be made
to pass as many of these measures as pos
sible. There are a number of provisions in the
military academy bill which will be de
bated at some length. Thla bill probably
will be taken up tomorrow, but It may
give way to other business. Including a
speech by Mr. Cullom on the country's
foreign affairs, and another by Mr. Bacon
on the subject of tho tariff and trusts.
There also will be some speeches during
the week on the desert land bill, and It
Is probable that the conference report on
the canal tone government bill will lead
to debate.
