just before 3 o'clock and resumed his
old gait. Fitzgoralil , Hart nnd Noro-
mac were all in good condition and
were running in 'tho order named.
Hughes was constantly leaving the
track.
At 4 o'clock Noromao was doing
Koine fine running , haying slnco 0
o'clock gained over 13 miles on Hart ,
When the latter wont to his tent at
4:15 : p. in. , Noromaekopt on ami
passed him. Sullivan came on the
track at 4 o'clock , after an hour's ab
sonco.
Sullivan , the champion prize fighter ,
visited the garden this afternoon witli
Barney Aaron. An enthusiastic crowd
kept following thorn from ono place to
another.
At 5 p. m. over 2,000 persons , in
eluding many ladies , were in the gar
den cheering the walkers. Some o.x-
citcmont was caused by two men be
coming involved in a dispute about
llowoll , ono denouncing and the other
upholding him. Hart came on the
track at 5:35 : ; he was off 40 minutes ,
and scorned greatly refreshed. Fitz
gerald ate his supper on the track.
The report circulated after his with
drawal from the race that llowoll was

noon driving with friends and scorned

been oil' the track nearly two hours.
During that tune Hughes , who is

applause from the spectators.
Sullivan's face showed signs of suf
fering when ho appeared on the track
at 7:10. : Fitzgerald was making a
desperate struggle for first place , and
was making things lively for Hazaol.
When Fitzgerald covered his 500th
mile , which ho accomplished at 0:35 :
in 114 hours and a half , he was loudly
cheered. Hart and Noromao were
constantly spurting.
At 10 o'clock Hazael was 13 miles
ahead of the best record and appar
ently in good condition and able to
outapeed any of the contestants.

presented with a $100 bill , which ho
hela over his head us ho ran around
the track side by side with Norcmac.
In conversation Peter Duryea , man
ager of the walk , said : "llowoll ia
beaten and ho does not want to make
any excuses. As to his drinking vin
egar yesterday I saw that myself , and
will take my affidavit to it. While
not making any excuses , I will say
llowoll was trained down five pounds
lighter than he was in any other
match he ever entered. Yesterday ho
told me to put $250 on him for him
self and expressed himself as confi
dent of winning. Why on the first
day , when ho did 150 miles in 22
hpurs , ho would have gene farther
liad I not stopped him. "
"What truth is there in the report
that Rowoll is now in a precarious
condition ? "
"Well , " said Duryoa , "I loft Row-
nil and Asplon at 11:30 : o'clock and
they were then going to my stables
intending to take a drho. "
William B. Curtis , of the Spirit of
the Times , says Rowoll is all safe and
sound physically , but that ho fcols
very bad over being compelled to
withdraw from the race. ,
Fully 0,000 people were in the
building by 0 o'clock , and the excite
ment increased as the loading men
trotted arouad the track at a racing
speed. During the racing an enter
prising clothing house presented each
of the contestants with a magnificent
pillar of flowers , with their names
worked in the center.
Hazaol continued his run up to
11:35 : , when , having completed 510
miles , ho loft the track for rest , being
27 miles ahead of Fitz.
The receipts so far have been about
$3,500 ,
Hart , the colored man , appears to
be in the boat condition of the con
testants , but will not cover as many
miles as his backers desiro.
NEW YORK , March 4. Noromac ,

is the liiome of general praise and ad-
inirfttloij. The bullet which was din
chargodfroin the pistol of the would-
bo assassin has boon found in the sta
tion ysjrd at Windsor.
IUK ASSASSIN'S ' STATEMENT.
The man who fired at the queen
gave the narao of Roderick McLean ,
and aaldjtlmt ho committed the act
through starvation , but several valu
able articles and a sum of money
found ou him disprove this assertion.
Spvoial ball cartridges were found on
him. After firing the shot ho dropped
the revolver in the station yard ,
whore his captors found it , ' with two
chambers still loaded. The would-be
assassin has boon pronounced .sane
by several physicians who have
visited him at the police station The
queen's health is unaffected by the oc
currence.
The examination into the antece
dents of the assassin is now going on ,
but its results have not boon made
public. The impression increases
however , that McLean is something
moro than an insane vagrant and that
the investigation will show that some-
.hing like a half-digested plan for the
\ssassination of the queen had really
yeen formed.
Roderick McLean , the young man
who shot at the queen yesterday , was
examined this afternoon. Ho was
cool and straightforward in his an
swers , He affirmed that ho did not
mean o harm the person of the queen ;
at JM > , fired the ihot at her because
ng the public attention to the
state of affairs which compelled him
to commit a crime against the very
heart of the nation in order to roach
the bloated aristocracy of the country
and make thorn sensible to the popular
hatred of the institution which
hedged thorn about and protected
them in their villainies against the
people. He admitted that in his esti
mation the queen had done nothing
herself to oppress her subjects , but
insisted that she was at the head of
the aristocratic system that doro down
upon the people with an unsupporta-
bleweighfand tyranny , and that his
shot Was directed towards her , not for
the purpose of harming her , but of
warning the aaistocracy that the peo-
Elo of wnom he was one , and whom
o volunteered to represent , wore nn-
patiuit and in a dangerous temper.

WASHINGTON , D. 0. , March 3.
Senator Anthony , from the committee
on printing , reported adversely a
resolution to print 10,000 copies of
medical and surgical history of the
war. The cost of printing would bo
§ 125,000.
The bill authorizing the compila
tion and punting of the naval history
of the war was passed ,
President Davis laid before the sen
ate a communication from the secre
tary of war , asking for an appropria
tion of ? 4,000 for the repair of Fort
Thornburg , Utah.
Mr. Butler presented a petition ,
largely signed , which ho supplemented
with a brief speech , in which ho de
scribed the illiteracy of the mass of
people in South Carolina , and praying
for congi'i ssionai aid in the establish
ment ot tree schools in tliuh stato.
Bills authorizing tKu emotion of a
statue to Chief Justice M.u shall and
making Denver a port of ui t y were
passed.
Mr. Farley replied to Mr. Hoar on
the Chinese bill.
Mr Garland followed Mr. Farley
and discussed the power of thogor-
eminent to interfere with immigration.
Ho expressed himself in accord with
the sentiments expressed by Mr. Hoar
and urged that under the constitution
the Chinese had as much right in the
United States as other foreigners.
Mr. Garland , continuing , urged the
statutes prohibiting the naturalization
of Mongolians should bo enforced.
Mr. Ingalls said whatever double
might exist as to the policy of the
proposed legislation , there could be
no doubt as to the right of congress to
ouact it. Ho urged , however , that
the bill was the outcome of ovormaa-
toriug prejudice and required amend
ing in several particulars so that the
United States should not break it *
solemn treaty obligations with China.
Ho offered an amendment limiting the
term of prohibiting of Chinese i -
"Mr. Milttt ( Gala. ) said the term WM
not reasonable and hoped the amend
ment would not be adopted.
Mr. Bayard also hored the amend
ment would not prevail. This legis
lation was demanded by the Pacific
states , whoso representatives had
pointed out the growing evils of Mon
golian immigration , and ho would be
'
unfaithful as a'mombor of the sonata
if ho did not respond to their cry of
distress. If Chinese immigration re
mained unchecked sooner or later , and
soon father than late , wo would have
to choose between the civilization of
our own people , our own religion and
our own country , and that of China.
Ho could not 890 how a man studying
character by that people , their habits ,
traditions and accompaniments of
their civilization , could believe that a
republic is possible with the Chinese
following out the habits , traditions
aid : laws to which they had been ac
customed. This measure was neces
sary to relieve the apprehensions of
citizens of the Pacific coast and avert
an impending evil.
At 445 the sonuto wont into execu
tive session and at 4:30 adjourned un
til Monday.
