LONDON , Juno 9. ( New York World
Cable Special to The Bee. ) Lord Roscbery
has privately announced his Intention to
withdraw from the racing field. A public
statement of the fact will be made here In
a few days. The current belief that the
victory of his colt , tLadas , was worth many
thousands of votes' at the coming election
has had a general expression In the papers ,
but the premier's trusted advisers have
made very different representations to him !
They have been furnished with statistics of
the really terrific extent to which gambling
over horse races has grown In England. One
etatemcnt I have already quoted , Is that the
scratching ot Cloister for the Grand National ,
, \vith the most suspicious evidences of fraud
on the part of the bookmaklng syndicates ,
cost the working classes of England more
millions than did even the great Liberator
company frauds.
WILL INVESTIGATE THE TURF.
A turf Inquiry Is about to be started here ,
which promises very evil and far reaching
disclosures. It Is likely to show not only
the vast extent of the mania In England
and how It Is pauperizing many classes of
the community to a degree worse than the
lotteries effect the Latin countries , but also
that organized fraud makes the turf a huge
Byitem of robbery.
On economic as well as moral grounds ,
there Is developing , particularly In the
liberal party , a bitter feeling against horse
racing In any form , although It has not had
much public expression , even in the liberal
papers. It Is appreciated by the liberal
leaders , and they have so strongly expressed
themselves to Rosebery. Ho is a consummate
politician , and has recognized the force of
their facts and figures , hence his decision.
MR. MORTON'S HEALTH IS GOOD.
There Is no foundation for the report that
Levl P. Morton has suffered a relapse and Is
in a dangerous condition. I saw him today
In obviously good health. He attended a
state ballat , Buckingham palace last night.
George Gould and Lord Dunraven have ap
parently made no further progress toward
arranging a race. The former is absent on
the continent. In conversation while here
Mr. Gould said ho saw no prospect of any
Improvement In financial affairs at home be
fore .another year. On the other Jiand Presi
dent M. E. Ingalls said that he looked to an
Immediate revival after the passage of the
tariff bill as It Is. Business will spring up
which will surprise everyone.
" Princess Colonna , with her children , Is
with her mother In the Carleton Terrace
jiouse. Mrs. Mackay said today that they
will take a house In the country for the sum

attempt to got possession ot the children.
Every precaution will be taken against such
a possibilityBALLARD SMITH.

LONDON , Juno 9. Charles Thursby gave
his expected special matlneo at the Prince
ot Wales theater on Thursday , and produced
the new play of the two youthful members
ot the Oscar Wilde school , John Grey and
Andre Roffalvlch , entitled , "The Black
mailers. " The , play , In Its preliminary an
nouncements , was described as being of
"strong drnmatlc Interest , " and turning upon
tno vagaries of a young man who , under
hypnotic Influence , blackmails people. The
play turned out to be a most tedious and
purposeless 'presentation. The repulsive
ctory outlined by the dlsclplrs of Oscar Wilde
was without merit of any kind. The authors
of "Tho Blackmailers" were called before
the curtain at the close of the play , but
they did not appear , being apparently very
distrustful ot the spirit of the compliment
Intended for them.
The run ot "Utopia , Limited , " at D'Oyle
Carte'H theater comes to an end today. The
new opera which Is to follow "Utopia , Lim
ited , " at the Savoy will probably be pro

present selected is that of "Mlrette. " The
libretto , which bus been done Into English
by Fred , Weatherby and Harry Grcenbank.
Is the work of M. Michael Carre , author of
"L'Enfant Prodlgue. " The music Is by M.
Andres Sager ot "La Basoche" fame.

Little Ruby Johnson , the baby dancer from
New England , has taken the salons ot Old

of Wales and their family , and betore
the duVe and duchess of Tcck and other
tnembon of the royal family , In addition to
delighting crowds of members of the aris
tocracy in the most distinguished salons ot
the metropolis.
There has been a perfect glut of concerts
this season , with the result that artists other
than those of the Pattl , Paderewskl and
Joachim order stand very little chance of
receiving moro than casual notice In the
papers.
The "Infant phenomenon" has been very
much to the fore recently anil recitals by

PLAY BY A CRITIC.
The manager of the Independent Theater
Society announces a play for next season
by Edward Fordham Spence , the dramatic
critic of the Westminster Gazette and other
papers. The play deals with the marital
relations of a young girl who is driven Into
marriage with a wealthy old man , and the
subject is handled with some audacity In a
realistic style. It may possibly have a little
difficulty with the censorship , but Mr. Pln-
ere has now opened the door so wide that a
"Consecrated Bargain" will doubtless get
through. The author is one of the younger
school ot critics and has reached an 1m-
potant position rapidly. He is the son of
the late James Spence of Liverpool , whose
book on the great civil war , entitled "The
American Union , " excited Immense discus
sion and resulted In his appointment , with
the late Berestord Hope , as one of the En
glish representatives of the confederates.
James Spence was likewise the author ot
the celebrated "S" letters to the London
Times. His son , after being called to the
bar , took up dramatic criticism while wait
ing for briefs. He first represented the So
ciety at the theater and then the Dally
Graphic and the Pall Mall Gazette. On the
purchase of the last named paper by Wil
liam Waldorf Astor , Mr. Spence followed
the fortunes of hls old editor and went on
the Westminster Gazette. His wife has also
become a Journalist since her marriage , and
her work , signed "Blnocle , " sometimes
appears In the Sketch side by side with
her husband's pseudonym "Monacle. "
On June 21 a matinee In aid of the
Theatrical Cholrsters association is to be
given at the Lyric theater , which has been
kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. Horace
Sedger.

LONDON , June 9. The weather continues
dull and cold. Sunshine is needed , but the
crops are making fair progress. The wheat
market has been fairly active , with prices
decidedly strong at from Cd to Is advance.
The rise was due to a reduction In the quan
tity afloat , light shipments anjl the sub
stantial advance In American options. Hold
ers were very firm. Buyers were reserved ,
being checked by the higher rates , , but Is
advance was paid for Russian cargo. The
parcel trade was moderate. There was a
fair spot business. An Australian cargo ,
March , sold at 23s \ d. A parcel of red

BERLIN' , June 9. Herr Ludwlg Bamber-
ger , an eminent authority upon the question
of bimetallism and a member ot the silver
commission , declares , after twenty-one days
of earnest discussion , not only no tangible
result has been arrived at , but the meeting
of the commission has furnished overwhelm
ing proof that in the future no conference ,
either national or International , will arrive
at a different result. According to Herr
Bamberger , an understanding up'on bimetal
lism seems to him Impossible between the
different states of Europe , Including Eng
land or without England. He says the dif
ference of Interest of these countries pre
cludes any satisfactory agreement.
Referring to the report from Washington
that Germany has protested against the de
cision of the United States senate to place
a differential duty of one-tenth of a cent
on sugar Imported Into the United States
from countries granting bounties to sugar
growers , and that the German government
has threatened reprisals against certain
American Imports , notably pork , the Nerd
Deutsche Zeltung today says the report Is
false and probably emanates from Ameri
cans Interested In the sugar trade and who
are desirous of stirring up American feeling
for the furtherance of their own selfish de
signs.
DOYCOTT ON BEER.
The socialist boycott of the brewers of
this city and vicinity , which was supposed to
be on the point of collapse , owing to the
ridicule cast upon It by the fact that the
socialist leaders had been proved to be
drinking boycotted beer , has revived with re
doubled vigor. The leaders of the boycott
have announced that any grocery or other
store offering such boycotted beer , bottled , for
sale will forthwith be proclaimed by the
boycott committee. The brewers threaten if
the boycott Is not raised by June 15 they
will be compelled to dismiss another 25 per
cent of their men.
The Anglo-French dispute over the Anglo-
Congo agreement gives Great Britain an ad

In free communication between Cairo and
Cape Town , and the unusually decided tone
of the speech made by M. Hanotaux , the
French minister of foreign affairs , In the
Chamber of Deputies yesterday is regarded
very seriously here.
The National Zeltung , echoing the opinion
of the German press generally , declares that
M. Hanotaux could not have used such lan
guage without danger of a diplomatic , rup
ture , and says : "Such language renders
negotiations difficult. "
CONGO GOVERNMENT'S DENIAL.
The Congo government , through the Ger
man minister at Brussels , has repudiated
the least desire to offend Germany by the
conclusion of the agreement with England.
Emperor William leaves Kiel on board

erable from the 'time she joined the Greek

VANCOUVER , B. C. . June 9. Reports
from the Interior state the Frasetriver. . Is
sill slowly rising. The rise reported ranges
from one inch on the lower river to twelve
inches at Lytton. The steamship Queen ,
bound for Alaska , called here yesterday to
take on board the Raymond excursionists
from Boston , who were erroneously reported
to have been wrecked. The excursionists
arc still floodbound , and as there was no
chance for their getting through from Banff
fo a week at least the Queen sailed for
Alaska without them.
Thieves have begun to ravage the flooded
districts. A safe was stolen from the offices
of the Moodyvllle Mill company. The burg
lars evidently Intended to carry the safe to
the woods and blow it open. Their boat cap
sized ami the safe and boat were found on
the flooded flats. ,
The Dominion government Is having a
careful estimate made of the losses and
losers by the flood. In the following munici
palities , corresponding to American counties ,
it Is found by the census , taken as carefully
as possible , that fully 15,000 people are to
day homeless in consequence of the flooding
of the Fraser. What their losses will be or
have been connot yet bo calculated , The
enormous number of homeless ones Is made
up thus : Delta municipality , 2,000 ; Lang ,
1,600 ; Matsqul , 1,000 ; Sumas , COO ; Chtlllwack ,
3,000 ; Richmond , 1,600 ; Burnaby , 8,000 ; Cou-
qultlam , 2,000 ; Maple Ridge , 600 ; Mission ,
600 ; Dcwdncy , 600 ; Nlcomen , 300 ; between
-Nlcomen and Yale , 200 , and Yale , 300.
Though the Fraser river is 1,050 miles
long , and all the lower valley is flooded ,
the greatest damage has been done in a dis
trict ot 100 miles between Landers and Yale ,
Colonel Baker , provincial secretary , has
been personally directing the relief work for
the local government. Unremitting atten
tion on the part of the government la being
required by the unfotumue settlers , many
ot whom are dependent Upon the calling or

The Atchlson claims each If these roads
has made contracts contrary to the agree
ment. The accused lines stoutly dely they
have made such arrangements , and offer
to satisfy the Atchlson on that point. The
latter line , however , refuses to accept the
denials , and will not come back Into the
agreement under any circumstances. The
lines , outside of the four directly interested
In the fight , are very anxious to have the
matter fixed up , as the prospect for a de
structive warIn excursion rates Is alto
gether too bright to suit them.

Iniproteinent * Kmt of Sixteenth Street Il -
ciltifd liy IntereHted Cltlron * .
In accordance with an Invitation sent out
some days ago a company of business men
met at the club room of the Mercer hotel
last evening.
The Invitation stated that the meeting had
been called for the purpose of devising plans ,
ways and means for the developing and Im
proving of property Interests east of Six
teenth street ; also to talk over the best
means of building up the old business portion
tion of the city and the resident portion be
tween the railroad tracks and Rlvervlew
park. W. J. Broatch was chosen chairman
and .John Butler secretary. Thu chairman
opened the ball by stating the object of the
meeting and expressing regret that Dr. Mer
cer , the Instigator of it , was unavoidably
absent.
Mr. Broatch favored the opening of Twelfth
street south to Rlvervlew park and also the
extension of Howard street In order that
trade might be attracted to the wholesale
part of the city. If more street cars could
be run around the loop , Mr. Broatch thought
business In the lower part of town might
Improve.
Isaac Hascall made a speech Immediately
after Mr. Broatch had resumed his chair.
He thought the opening of Twelfth street
south was Impracticable If a boulevard was
Intended. The speaker pointed out the fact
that at present there were three viaducts
across the tracks and he did not see the
necessity for another. He talked about en-
porU8fftil'tnBctty and'said that after that
was done trade would radiate and each portion
tion get its share.
Ernest Stubt differed with Hascall .and
claimed that the south side had been treated
shabbily as far as Improvements were con
cerned.
The chairman called upon President Yates
of Uie Nebraska National bank. Mr. Yates
thought that the way to build up the old
business district was.to .have a metropolitan
depot built at the foot of Farnam street ,
where all the car lines would converge. As
now , the shed which serves as a depot was
of no use to any one , and property In that
vicinity was virtually worthless except where
a few cheap restaurants and saloons had
sprung up. Stuht took exception to Mr.
Yates' remarks , but no one paid any atten
tion to him.
When John A. Horbach was called for he
got up like a man who had something to
say. Mr. Horbach advocated the finishing
of the union depot and of building others
If necessary when the demands of the city
warranted It.
Mr. George W. Llnlnger favored the openIng -
Ing of Tuelfth street , and of building a mar
ket house and auditorium on a viaduct across
the railway tracks. He thought enough cap
ital could be raised here to put up such a
structure. Its cost would be about $200,000.
The land would cost nothing , and this was
one reason he favored such n scheme. Mr.
Llninger thought that the great trouble with
Omaha was that there were too many
schemes on foot and so few carried to a
successful termination.
Judge Wakcley said that In his opinion n
great mistake had been made when the
building of the union depot was enJMnod.
He said that there should be no fights or
jealousies between different sections of the
city , but that they all ought to pull to-
gelher for public Improvements no matter
where.
"Let us get two depots If we can , " said
the judge. "If wo can't do that , let us try
to get one. Do something. Do not stand
Idle , "
At the conclusion of Judge Wakeley's re
marks Mr. Hascall asked the Indulgence of
the gentlemen while he made a motion re
garding the depot property. After several
amendments had been offered and adopted
the following resolution was carried by a
unanimous vote :
Resolved , That It Is the sense Of this
meeting that an order from the United
States court be obtained commanding the
receivers of Uio Union Pacific Hallway
company to complete the building of the
depot on the foundations already laid.
Wo further request the city authorities
to endorse this resolution and assist In the
construction of thin depot.

eary in building the telegraph line through

DUBUQUE , June 9. ( Special Telegram to
The Bee. ) A fire In the lumber district this
evening caused a loss of $170,000. It waa
caused by a spark from a Chicago Great
Western locomotive which alighted In
Lesue's lumber yard about 5:15 : o'clock. The
yard was full of sawdust and mill rcfuso
with which the company has been engaged
In raising the yard above high writer mark.
Instantly the mass was 'aflame , and the
wind from the east carried the flre with
alarming rapidity aboul a crescent lined
with lumber , and bounding the sloughs from
Sixth street to Eleventh.
A plough Intervening between It and
Lesuro's mill , together with the direction
of the wind , saved the mill and most of
the yard of the Standard Lumber company ,
but everything west along the crescent was
ablaze within an hour , nnd rppeals for as
sistance were wired to Frceport , Clinton
and other towns near by.
Lesue's mill was first to fall , then ths
flames swept west to the large frame build
ing of thu DubUijue Buggy Top company ,
and bounded into the Knapp-Stout company
lumber yard , scorching also the water com-
pany's power station , the Knapp-Stout com
pany's planing mill and the Glab house.
At Eleventh street the field of flame en
countered the paper mill , n large brlok build
ing unoccupied. On the north side of this
street lies the Carr , Ryders & Engler com
pany lumber yard , which fifty men worked to
save. They accomplished little , but the
paper mill and the pond beside It proved a
wall so effectual that It enabled the fire de
partment to get the flames under control.
At this hour , 10:30 : o'clock , the lumber " ]
yards are still burning , but will extend n . v ,
further unless the wind changes. Invhich
event the Standard Lumber company's yard
and mlUjvUltio. The Lesure Lumber com-
<
*
rfsnTTSIes $55,000 on yard and $75,000on
mill , and is insured 'for $00,000. No list can
be had tonight. The Knapp-Stout company's
loss Is $225,000 and Insurance $185.000. The
Standard Lumber "company loses $75,009 and
Is fully Insured In board companies. Some
pf Lcsure's Is In non-board companies. The
total loss of lumber is 25,000,000 feet.
Lesure employed 225 men. Several persons
were injured and the firemen believe a man
was lost In the mill.
Mayor Day announces that his lumber
company's loss will not exceed $10,000 , with
Insurance of $25,000. Lesure's Insurance is
$125,000. Other losses are : Erwln & Wood
Southern Lumbar company , $10,000 ; 'Insur
ance , $3,000 ; Dubuque Buggy Top company ,

Haze and Sheep , tlie police officers charged .
with the duty of proselyting for M. F. Mar
tin , the czar of the ; tenderloin district , have
been committing more outrages on rc'pect-
able people. Numerous instances have been
reported of the Insults offered by them 'to
worthy women. In 'one case a respectable
woman and her daughter run n store and -f
live In rooms over the storeroom. Haze , '
and Sheep have visited the place , searched ,
the living apartments of the family and * |
caused the ladles no end of annoyance and j
mortification by their visits and Insulting I
questions. ]

OMAHA , June S. To the Editor of The 11
Bee : After reading your statement In The ij
Bee concerning Detectives Hare and Sheep -I
I desire to add to the already Inreo list a j
few of the Indignities ImiKJied upon our 'I '
neighborhood by thu aforesaid Haze and \
Shoop. To begin with , ono morning about a * J
week ago I was standing at my dresser ar- jl
ranging my hair. I will further state that 'A
I was In an undress uniform. I was startled i
to hear some ono speaking behind mo. I | l
turned to sea u man standing there. Ho had ! |
entered the buck door quietly , us a thief In 4 |
tlio night , without knocking or otherwise an- 1
nounclng his pretence until ho commenced " -J
a conversation by saying , "Well , what are > |
jou doing ? " I asked him what he wanted 51
and" what he meant by entering my house In 1
such a manner. He answered mo In a most ' ]
ungentlemanly way , Baying that he wanted 1
to look around , search the premises , etc. , i
Ho was not even gentlemanly enough to retire - * |
tire long enough to allow me to slip on my If
dress , which I had to do while he stood 'i |
there. I told him to .search the place If ha ) |
wanted to and leave. He Informed mo he ' | 1
would take his time. He picked * up several ,1
photographs around the room , inquiring who } |
they were , questions that I consider wholly * j
unnecessary to the fulfillment ot duty , I 'I
will not attempt to further glvu a list of his I
Insulting questions or his insolence of bearIng - 1
Ing toward mo. 1
Leaving my house he went to the neat 1
house , the homo of a prominent barber In I
the city , whoso family uUo Includes motZrer * ' I
and father. The wife at the tlmo was lying 1
sick in bed. Nothing daunted Sergeant I
Sheep , however. She needs mutt rise to ! |
answer his questions and explain who the I
old couple were who were living with I
them. I
If this be America wo live In , I would 1
Ilko to ask whether we are allowed any I
privileges In our own homes , and can we I
not have our friends and neighbors visit I
us without explaining the why * and wherefores - I
fores to such creatures us Haze and Sheep , ffl
I mention no names of Die parties ot whom 1
( speak because we are not looking for no- 1
torlety , but this I will say , It thesu would-bs I
custodians of the r > cac continue to annoy 1
the people In thin vlclulty you will hear from ,1
