Something ap proaching' a turf scandal has h risen on account of the extraordinary lightness of the handicap placed upon fc'lorizel, owned by the prince of Wales Im mediately after the acceptance for tha czarewitch stakes were published, (J to 1 was freely taken on Florizel. One writer says that the only possible so lution was a desire oa the pari, of the hiindicapper to treat tho prince of Wales leniently and that the horse would not have been thus favored if it belonged to any one eUo. King Leopold of Belgium has sold to Colonel North, the English "nitrate king-." n mile of the sea front of Ostend for $1,500,000. It is said that Colonel North intends to found there an inter national sporting club, which will be tha center for horsu racing, glove fighting and athletics generally, with a theater, gambling rooms and public gardens. It is said that Max Lebaudick, who inherited a fortune of $15,003,000 fro-n his father, a sugar retlner, which he lias been industriously trying to dissi pate for some time, has fallen into the bunds of the same English gan who preyed upon the lute Squire Abingtou, the famous English sportsman. With the publication of the full cor respondence between the Earl of Dun raven and the America's cup commit tee of tho New York Yachting club and Mr. Iselin, a decided change of sentiment has come over the English yachtsmen. While it is impossible to alter the opinion which prevails among Englishmen in general that Valkyrie was beaten out of the America'a cup by unfair means, there is reason to believe that authorities on yachting are not all disposed to in dorse the course that haa been pur sued by Lord Dunraven. The most significant indication of this is Admir al Fitzgerald's letter to the Timea condemning Lord Dunraven and prais ing Mr. Iselin for his offer to retail the races. It now seems likely that the plan of giving to Lord Dunraven a public re ception at Cardiff upon his return from New York, as well as the ar rangements for an elaborate welcome of Valkyrie's owner, will be aban doned. IN HONOR OF GARIBALDI. Twenty-rifth Anniversary ot the Tak ing; of Roma Commemorated. Romk, Sept. 23. The fetes celebrat ing the twenty-fifth anniversary of the entry of the Italian army into Rome, which began on the 14th inst., cul minated yesterday in the ceremony of the unveiling of the monument of General Garibaldi on the Janiculum hill in the presence of the king, the royal family, the ministers, the depu tations of veterans who served under Garibaldi. The 50,000 people present displayed the utnfbnt enthusiasm. The decora tions of public and private buildings were of the most imposing and liberal oharacter. Every mention of the Dames of Garibaldi, Italy and King Humbert was greeted with loud eheera. The English and American embassies had their ilags hoisted. A mom Rouen field Dead. Nkw York, Sept ti.

NEV. YORK DEMOCRACY IN CONVENTION. Greatest Gathering Ever Known Id tha History of Hyracnte Kings Connty Cnntest Settled Temporary Chairman Perry Jteluiont's Speech. SvRAt.T'SK, N. Y Sept. ".r, The number of Democrats who gathered here to-day for the state convention was the greatest ever known at a sim ilar gathering in thia city. At 10 o'clock the state committee met, Senator Hill was ready quite early, but Chairman Hinckley and some of the others were tardy. The session lasted just six minutes, the only business transacted being1 the adoption of a resolution that the com mittee recommend the increase of the state committee to fifty members. Tho convention was called to order at 12:20 o'clock by Chairman Hinckley of tho state committee, and the Rev. A. 11. Fohnestock offered a prayer, asking for peace and unity. Chairman Hinckley then bnuounccd that he was directed by the state com mittee to announce that both sets of delegates from Kings county should be placed on the rolls, '1 lie clinirmun announced that the state committee had selected for tem porary chairman l'erry Itelmont of New York and appointed Daniel Lock wood of liutt'ulo uml (Jeorge Foster Pea body of Kings county temporary secretaries. When Mr. lielmont took the plat form ho was greeted with applause and when it subsided he began his remarks raying, in part: "The selec tion of your presiding oflicer is an act of partiality, lam sensible to your kindness and accepting most gratefully the honor you have done me, I ask your indulgence in the performance of my duties." Mr. lielmont spoke of the conditions this year as compared with those of last year, saying the political skies were much brighter this fall. He paid compliments to Senator Hill, raying: "The swift changes of party power in this statu encourage us not to be with out hope, notwithstanding recent ad verse events." Much would, he said, depend on the way the party should appreciate the lesson?, of last Novem ber and of the past. On the subject of excise, Mr. liel mont said: "As to our own state there is need of certain reform of certain features of our excise law. liecent misconstructions of their provisions, coupled with harsh, arbitrary and un intellligent construction, render it necessary to legislate to prevent the repetition of olilcial tyranny. The preacher and the churches, the brew ers and the saloons sUoukl get together, formulate, vote for and en force a reasonable excise law. . Sobri ety is very important, but not more so than is personal freedom for sobermen to buy, eat, drink and do what pleases them, if it does not infringe on the rights of others " On financial questions Mr. lielmont declared that the New York Dem ocracy had always been for "sound money." He said the greenbacks caused the driving out of gold. He concluded with the denunciation of the late Republican legislature. Mr. lielmont finished speaking amid much applause at 1:4 o'clock. Then Secretary De Freest began the reading of the temporary roll en 11. The names of Flower, Shepherd, Kt-11 and Bbisell were cheered. Contrary to expecta tions, when the New York district was reached, there was no public not re of a contest until the clerk had read the entire Tammany delegation. Daring the reading the Tammany men looked at each other. Just as the clerk started on Niagara county's list, ex-Secretary Charles Palrchild arose and said- "I present the contest for thirty-five scats held by the New York delegation just read." There was burst of applause that lasted for some minutes, and then the chairman said: -'Referred to the com mittee on contested seat when ap pointed." In Queens county ex-Mayor tileason gave notice of a contest, and when Richmond wus called a delegate said that contesting delegations there had agreed upon the saute representation as had been agreed upon in Kings county, and they desired their names on the roll. It was referred to the committee on credentials. These were all the contests noted. The usual resolutions were offered in relation to tho appointments of committees, and then on motion f ex-Mayor liilroy the convention ad journed until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Kansas City, Sept. 25. Charles H. Vice, treasurer of the Home Mutual Aid association, which had offices in the Temple block at Missouri avenue and Walnut streets, has disappeared and taken with him the books of the association and thousands of dollars which have been wrung from the pub lic by false representations within the past eighteen months. He left not a dollar in the treasury with which to pay the claims against the association. All that he did leave was several bush els of printed matter, a cheap desk and a couple of chairs in a bare, uu carpeted room. The Home Mutual Aid association was incorporated under the laws of Missouri, February 14, 18&4. Its first officers were Frank Sullivan of F.dina, Mo., president; M. 1). Hollister, Kan sas City, i&cretary; C. II. Vice of Edi na, treasurer, and W. C. Hollister of Kdina.fic'incier. It was incorporated as a frater.-. ! beneficial order. It insured men and women between the ages of 14 and 65 years. An insurance policy for $1,000 in the concern cost the insured $2 a mouth, and for that he got $1 a day during sickness, not exceeding ninety days in any one year, and $1 a day when temporarily disabled by acci dent. If lie was totally disabled lie got the full amount of his policy, or the full amount was paid to bis bene ficiary at death. The benefits to women members were aa liberal as to men. ISefore the association was a year old there was a change m officers and Colonel Adonis Anderson, an aged justice of the peace of Mendon, Mo., because its president, J. F. Snow was made vice president, T. J. Randolph secretary, W.L.Origgs attorney and Dr. C. A. Ritter, supreme medical director. Vice was always its treasurer. August 28 last there was another 'change in the official staff. Anderson and Vice . continued as president and treas urer, but I.. Villcroy and William West of Oklahoma were made re spectively vice president and secretary of the association. Villeroy and West seem to have been innocent of the condition and purposes of the associa tion when they went into it. They say they were and they have remained hero to face the consequences of Vice' flight and to lay the matter before the criminal prosecutor. Vice is from Kdina, Mo.r where his father is a farmer. W. L. Urlirgs, who acted as attorney for the association up to six weeks ago, says he resigned because he discovered that Vice was grabbing every dollar he could get bis hands on and paying out nothing.

Claims against tho association for sick and accident benefits are com ing in daily and Ssoo worth of them have accumulated since the departure of Vice. MEN AND ARMS FOR CUBA.
