V.OUISVIU.R , Ky. . Oct. 21. This was Kd
Ocors' day at the Driving and Kalr associa
tion. Ho handled two entries at tliu Village
liKarm stables anil both scored easy victories
over good fields , A { lorlod of bracing
weather had followed the lolny spoil , and
4ho prospects for the remaining i1ayn of the
meat arc excellent. The fourth heat of the
2 40 pace wag first given , and Joe Italley
verified predictions by taking It and the
Tica Four trotters wcro given the word In
the Indiana fltako , the thrco-mlni'to class
tor .1-you-olds. American Hejlo In the bol
ting , took three heals in excellent time , the
fastest being made In 2:17. : Emily ruled a
favorite In the 2:14 : class , us much by virtue
of ( Jeers being the driver as by her own
merit. In the first heat she left ho- feet
and Phllonldcs , a. Loulnvlllo colt , scored a
jrpuUr victory , but in the next three heats
Kmlly trotted thfough and won an easy
victory. I'hllonldcs and Cald see-sawed
Ihroiigh the last heals for ccond money ,
which went to Phllonldcs on account of his
winning the first. Cadet was tipped for the
215 pace. The first huat was won by Myrtle
O , ami Cadet , who refused to respond until
they came Into the stretch , finished last In
a Hold of five. In the second htut he atoned
by making the finest run of the day ; gelling
off last ho secmotl to bo distanced ut the
half , but carefully handled by McCarthy ,
began to make up lost ground. In the stretch
bo had caught the field and , pacing Ilko u
machine , forged steadily ahead and passed
undo- the wlro a length lo the good. The
oilier two heats were easy. Tomorrow Rob
ert ,1 and John 11. Gentry will meet. Sum-

CHICAGO , Oct. Sl.-Tho session of the
Western Haso Hull league today was devoid
of Interest. It was the regular annual fall
mooting , but there was not a hint of any
thing sensational. The magnates rather
wearily dragged through the routine work
of sotlllng up Ihe year's finances , formally
awarded Ihe pennant lo Ihe Indianapolis
club , voted | 1W for n championship ling , ap
pointed a schedule committee and a new
bo.ird of directors , then attended to a few
other minor features , after which the del
egates settled bai'li for a consideration of
the most ? vexatious question that tliu league
has annually before It that of selecting Ihe
ulirluh club of the circuit.
Ur.md Haplds Is still In tbo Hold for a
place In the league. Mr. Leadloy , the owner
of the 1VJ7 club. Insists on having iho league
approve ? bis sale of the franchise or a part
Inteies' In It at least to Mr. Hurrlmiin of
Dos iMolnos , while Messrs. Fctlck and Kl-
llott of Ues Molm-s aio at the meeting In
the interest of DCS Molnes llself as a mem
ber of thu le.iguo. circuit. The , matter was
not .settled tonight.
The board of directors met In the fore
noon and the regular session got under way
ibout 3 p. m. The following board of di
rectors for IS'JS was chos-on : Columbus , De
troit , Kansas City and 'Minneapolis. ' The
schedule committee was made up of Indlun-
ipolls , Columbus and Milwaukee and the
'eague- voted to hold thu spring schedule
meeting of the leaguu In Kans.ia City. The
meeting will bo held the third Monday In
February.
One change. In the league constitution was
ntirte. H Is a rule empowering 1'resldcnt
Johnson to fine or suspend any player or
tmnmgor for disorderly conduct without the
approval of the board of director ? , which
has been considered necessary hitherto.

GOODLAND , Kan. , Oct. 21. The second
lay of the Altcar .Coursing . club's meeting
was In no whit Inferior to the llrst. Hares
were not ? o jilentlful , but they ran well and
tried the merits of the greyhounds
thoroughly. The grounds used today were
the bis flat stretches of prairie- east of town ,
ivbere so many famous courses have been
run In former years. The sixteen grey
hounds entered for the Altcar cup Included
the Imported celebrity , Winning Style ; lien
Hur , the winner at Colorado Springs last
season ; White I31ossom , the little St. Louis
? ivyhound , and Glen Chloe the runner-up
In thu American course derby at Daven
port last week. The courses * were hotly con
tested and many of them were won by few
points. When White 'Hlossom ' and Itusty
Gold , the last pair to run In the llrst round ,
ran nn undecided course , scoring an eiiuai
number of points , the excitement was at
fever heat. Their second trial was jugt as
exciting , Ihe St. Louis dog getting the de
cision with llttlo to fparo. Hesults :
Anrhora Leland ( Criipplo Crook ) be.it Bona

AS TO FORTIFICATIONS.
On the subject of fortifications the report
says :
The great range of modern hlgh powcr
guns compels the establishment of defensive
lines at distances from the cities and har
bors ) considerably greater than heretofore
deemed necessary. At many harbors the
sltos of ninny old works are at distances
from tbo objects to be protected Insufllcient
to admit of ii proper defense under modern
conditions. A * other harbors the areas of
the older sites , when otherwise suitable , are
too small to accommodate the modern de
fenses. The acquisition of suitable sites has
therefore been n necessary feature of the
construction of a modern system of KUV- :
coast defenses. The operations attending
the acquisition of sites are often attended
by odious and unavoidable delays. At suv-
ertil points where defenses are urgently re
quired It 1ms been Impossible to proceed
with their construction for want of the nee.
essory land. A number of Important sites
still remain to bo acquired to carry out the
approved projects nnd should be secured as
promptly as possible , HO that no delays maybe
bo experienced In construction when funds
become available. Another appropriation ot
$ . "iOO,000 1 earnestly requested to continue
the purchase of necessary sites.
Congress has authorized the contract sys
tem lu work on fortifications , but It Is not
approved by General 'Wilson ' , who pays.
Tha contract system In Its application to
fortifications Is open to grave objections ,
chief among which Is tha publicity neces
sarily given to the plans to unable the In
tending bidders to submit proposals intelli
gently. The character of the work Is such
that perfect freedom to introduce , changes
during construction Is desirable , u freedom
that Is seriously hampered by the existence
of a contract. Comparison of results during
the last fiscal year between the contract
and hired labor systems shows the latter
to be superior , being more rapid , satisfac
tory and equally economical. A continuance
of the contract system. In connection with
the c-onstructlon ot fortifications , cannot bo
recommended.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 21. Consul Genera
Hurst at Vienna has made a special report
to the State department concerning the out
look for American grain In Austria-Hun
gary. He ways the- abnormal weather In
Juno and July affected the crops and cause"
widespread loss , especially In Alfreld , the
richest grain-producing region. In good
years Hungary derives the principal part of
Its Income from the exportation of grain ,
Austria being a large purchaser ot Hun
garian grain The shortage In Hungary Is
estimated as follows. Wheat , 27,787.500
bushels ; rye , 9,202,500 bushels ; barley , 8,233-
333 bushels ; oats , D.014.GS3 bushels. The
Vienna exchange has purchased groin from
abroad to meet the fall demand. In Seplem-
ber 1.331,005 bushels had been Imported
chiefly from America , and American rye has
already been purchased for delivery In Aus.
trla. These supplies come from Rotterdam
and Antwerp , where are situated the great
granaries controlled by International grain
merchants who buy Irc. transoceanic
sources and cell to continental customers.
Varying reports have been had from Hus
sla , but the best authorities say there wil
be little export from Russia after the homo
demand Is supplied. There has been much
speculation on the bourses of Vienna nnd
Duda-Pcdtb , and In order to avoid this
millers have decided lo buy abroad at pricso
which are kept secret at present. Millers
< ire uot very well acquainted with foreign
wheat , but Rood results have been arrived
at already with Kansas wheat. Australia !
millers have always found a ready inarke
for their flour , but It now appears tha
American Hour can compete with Austrian
flour.
"It In believed , " says the conmil general
"that the abolition of the tarltT on whea
lo France will have a good affect on the
prices of American wheat and the aglta <
lion Is watched with Interest In Austria. "

WASHINGTON. Oct 21. The rejection by
Ihe Creek legislature yesterday of the Dawcs
commission agreement for the rehabilitation
of the tribe Is viewed with much concern
by the tribal authorities. They regard it ,
of great Importance as affecting other tribes
with which the commission has to deal , and
concede that It Is not unlikely to result In
a failure to reach an understanding with ,
any of them. So ar none of the agreements
made by the commission with representa
tives of the tribes have been ratified and the
negotiations now on with the Cherokees arc
not progressing satisfactorily. Advices
reached here sime diys ago that emissaries
of the full-blood clement of the Cherokee
nation had gene to Iho Creek Irlbo. Now It
la stated that there Is a probability that
whatever action Is taken for the purpose
of making the members ot the tribes citi
zens and the Incident preliminaries will have
to be taken by congress , ami an interesting
debate on this question , Involving the power
of congress to enact legislation on this line ,
Is expected early In thuonilng session.

were only thirty. Yesterday afternoon's rec

had been only two fatalities reported to the

of Sister Sylvester ot St. Joseph's orphan
asylum. She was reported to the Hoard of
Health yesterday nnd the host of attention
was Riven her , but she rccnia to have con
tracted a very bid case of yellow fever , com.
plicated with other diseases , and there was
little chance of saving her Ufa after her
case had been brought to the attcnllon of

The weather this morning was cool nnd

this evening that ho had received advices
that there had been frcst In St. Ilern.ud
parish and on the outskirts of the city last
night , The deposit , however , was slight and
possibly not sufficient to stamp out the dis
ease here. It Is possible , however , that the
fewer cases hero this evening are a result
traceable to Ihe change In the temperature.
H does not now seem < it all likely that the
fever will continue here for any length of
time. Huslncss Is greatly deprtssed , but It
Is confiilcntly believed that with the approach
of cold weather the fever will die out and
Now Orleans will recover some of the trade
she has lost through the fright ot the past
few weeks.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 21. Consul Parker ,
at 'Birmingham ' , England , In bis annual re
port to the State- department , says that the
ono marked development In that district
during the year lias been the cycle trade.
It has been eo great that there has been a
great overproduction. The trade with the
United States has t t been greatly af
fected , because no complete bicycles btvc
been sent to the United States since 1894.
" The British foreign trade in bicycles
amounted In 1895 to $0.747,012. in 1S90 to
{ 9.150,420 , and In 1897 ( estimated ) , $7,877-
275. So many men have 'been drawn into
bluyclo imkihg that other branches ot busi
ness have been Injured. An licreaso of 10
per cent In the wages of skilled labor has
resulted , but a decline Is expected for varl-
I ous reasons , including the introduction and
use of the best American machinery.
I In the past two fiscal years the exports
] of the United States to the United Kingdom
! of cycles and parts of cycles were as fol
lows : For 1S9C , $013,392 ; for 1897 , J.2,375-
G75.
Speaking of the gcnor.il trade , the consul
says that the exports of other manufactures ,
which show an Increase , but which are not
classified by countries ot destination , are
j brass goods , clocks nnd watches , glass and
glassware , lead and its m-anuiacturca , steel
rails , Iron and steel plates anj sheets , wire ,
printing presses , typewriters , tin and zinc ,
i An analysis of the exports from the United
i States Miows an Increase In the articlea men-
! i tloned In British colonies , especially In Can ,
J | ada and AuslrJladla , In addition United
j Slates manufacturers are extending their
J I trade In cotton goods , leather , boots and
j shoes and furniture In these markets which
the British manufacturers hitherto held. He
says In the matter of typewriters the people
of the United IKngdom arc dependent upon
the United States , as there ore no acceptable
| machines of British make.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 21. Secretary Long
has become deeply concerned at what ho
regards as Iho very largo expenditure made
by the Navy department on account of re
pairs to ships. In special cases these allot
ments of funds are particularly heavy and
out of all proportion , In the opinion of the
secretary , to what they should be. It is
foil to be singular that within a few weeks
after the commissioning of a brand new
nhlp II should ho tied up to a wharf In a
navy yard for extensive alterations under the
guise of repairs. These changes , for they
are not repairs In the true sense , are made
on the suggestion of various olllcers anil
the sum total of the expenditures on that
account has grown so largo that the secre
tary has been Impelled to Ls.jue a circular
for the guidance of all olllcers concerned.
It says : "The department , finding the ex
penditures for repairs to vessels In commis
sion , especially those on the homo station ? , Is
excessive , enjoins upon all persons having
duties to perform In connection therewith
the exercise of strict economy and careful
compliance wllh the navy regulations relat
ing to preservation and repairs of thlpa. To
the end lhat each vessel may perform the
greatest possible amount of actual effective-
fsrvlco , It will bo the policy of the depart
ment to utilize ships In commission fo their
fullest extent ns they arc built and to limit
alterations on them whllo In commission to
such as are necessary to secure efllclency , "
