Entries for To-Day's Big Turf Events at
Morris Fark Meeting.
GENERAL SF0R1IXG NEWS OP THE DAI
Our baseball sluggers got home from
"Washington yesterday morning, and are
ready to tackle Manager Hanlon and liis
Orioles twice to-day. The latter will arriTe
early this morning, and Manager Hanlon,
who is here in advance of his team, says
that one ot the two games must go to the
list of Baltimore victories. Manager Buck
enberger and Captain Burns are just as san
guine that our sluggers will get both of the
games, and so the matter stands.
During a conversation last evening, Man
ager Buckenberger said: "When in "Wash
ington, I had a long conversation with
President Young. He told me that accord
ing to the returns furnished him, Pittsburg
has so far this season had the largest at
tendance, except Boston, and this goes to
show that we have the best baseball city in
the League, because if our team were as
high up as the Boston team and the Bos
tons were where we are, we would
certainly outdraw them. In speaking of
the game forleited to us by the New York
team, President loung said that while he
was not in a position to say anything defi
nite about the case, he emphatically ad
Tised me to never act with our team as did
Manager Powers with his. That means, of
course, that the lorfeit will stand. Mr,
Young also said that Umpire Lynch made a
wrong decision in giving a forfeited game
to the Cleveland team because the St Louis
Browns did not arrive on the grounds in
time. The Browns were unavoidable" de
layed." Manager Hanlon also had something to
cay about baseball matters. Ned is looking
well and fully expected to play in both
games to-day, but on Saturday his knee
again failed him. He has great hopes of
getting his team out of last place and says
that the greatest defect is the lack of con
dition of two or three players. This must
be remedied, he says.
If the weather is fine this morning and
afternoon large crowds are expected at both
games. The pitchers lor the visitors will
be Cobb and McMahon and for the local
team Galvin and Baldwin.

inv cableto the dispatch.
London, May 29. Copyright The Deiby
which will be run next Wednesday is re
garded as an open race, although La Fleche
still maintains her position as first favorite.
The bookmakers, however, aio always ready
to make the odds against the marc, and tho
steady opposition is disquieting to many
sportsmen who would otherwise back nor
fieely. Many good judges back Bona Vista,
and it is ccitain that he will make an honet
effort to land the stake. He certainly has
stamina to last the conrso and his heart is
good, though some object to his build as be
ing unsuitable to the Ep-ora course. Bona
Vista's stable companion, St. Damien, is
still backed by his ow r.cr, who believes him
superior to Buna Vista, but the nubile are
scarcely of the same mind and preler public
form to pi ivate trials.
The Frenchmen aie backing M. Camllle
Blanche's colt, Bucnntaure, who ran fourth
in the French 2,000 guineas. He has never
proved himsell a hore or the first class and
Frenchmen are probably backing him mote
irom sentiment than Irom any conviction
that his chances for tho gient English race
nro reasonably good. Sonic money has been
Invested on Llanthony this weok and the
Colonel Xorth party have been plunging on
Eldorado, whose chances aie not regarded
favorably generally. On the other hand,
Flyaway and the Loier have been struck out
tills week, their respective owners realizing
the hopelessness ot their chance. The latest
betting quotations to-night are 2 to 1 acalnst
La Fleche, 7tol neainst Bona Vista, 8 to 1
:n;nin.-t Damien, 10 to 1 Thealiu and Llan
thony, a 100 to (5 against Eldorado and St.
Anzclo, 25 to 1 against Bncentaute, and 33 to
1 acainst ir Hugo.
It is interesting to note that great interest
is bein.r taken by the English pros nnd
nubile in the condition of Buon lllrsch,
who is lying ill with bronchitis at his home
in Paris; not because lie is a philanthropist
and a many millionaire, but because ho is
true owner ot La Fleche, the Derby favor
ite, nnd she will be struck from the list of
starters, according to the law of the English
turf, it her owner dies before the race.

PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
i A TRUST THREATENED.
German Sugar Dealers, Hojcotted by
the American Combine,
MAY INVADE THE PACIFIC COAST.
Not a Pound of the European Product Korr
Coming Here, Where
BULLIONS WHERE IMPORTED BEFORE
Berlin, May 29. Last year 53,673,899
worth of sugar was exported to America
from the consular jurisdiction of Berlin (in
cluding the two great sugar centers, Ham
burg and Madgeburg) during the quarter
ending March 31. During the correspond
ing quarter of this year not one pound of
sugar was exported. One hundred thou
sand tons of raw sugar are stored at Ham
burg; an equal amount is held at Lubeck,
Stettin and in the manufacturing districts.
The German merchants and producers wish
to sell, but no buyer appears. It is a very
unusual situation, and many reasons have
been given ior its existence.
Erom the statements of many ol the lead
ing sugar dealers it was learned that the
American Suear Trust is purposely keep
ing away from the German markets in order
to "bear" the raw products. The trust
hopes to buy the German stock of sugar
very cheaply in the end. The Gernum mer
chants and producers, on the other hand,
hope and believe that the Americans will
eventually be forced to come into the mar
ket, and that in such an event prices will
rise rapidly. Should this prove to be the
case, then the price of refined sugar would
naturally go up in the United States.
Among the many opinions expressed that
of Carl Hager, editor of the leading organ
ofthesucar producers, is significant. He
thinks it likely that the continued absence
of the American buyers irom the German
market might be due to a plan of the trust
to depress the German markets. It such is
the case the German producers will meet the
American combination with a trust of their
own. They would combine and place their
entire output into the hands of one selling
office, and would not let a pound go below
a reasonable price. There is some little
talk ot German capital starting refineries in
San Francisco and handling the Sandwich
Island sugar in opposition to the trust.
A RELIGIOUS WAR.
The French Government Complains to
Great Britain or the Hlgh-Handed Acts
of the British East African Company
Missionary intrigues Panlshod.
Pabis, Ma? 28. M. Eibot, Minister of
Foreign Affairs., has instructed M. Wad
dington, French Ambassador at London, to
give notice to Lord Salisbury of the treat
ment the white Fathers are undergoing at
the hands of Captain Lugard, the repre
sentative of the British East African Com
pany. It is alleged that Captain Lugard
lias imprisoned several of the Fathers, and
that he has distributed arms to the natives
with which they have made attacks upon
the missionaries. M. Kibot urges the re
sponsibility for Captain Lugard's actions
should be promptly fixed.
The Catholic missionaries, it is further
said, have done all in their power to defeat
the objects of the company and render its
position untenable. In putting down these
intrigues with a stronc hand. Captain
Lugard has incurred the bitter animosity of
the Catholic missionaries, and their repre
sentations.to the French Government have
led M. Ribot to call the attention of Great
Britain to the matter.
The Catholic Missionary Sevievi publishes
an official report of the troubles. The
Catholic kingdom of Uganda was destroyed,
and the King, bishops and 17 missionaries
were driven out by Protestant natives, sup
ported by British agents? TheProtestan ts,
armed with rifles given them by Captain
Lugard,bombarded the Catholic mission and
set fire to it, a doctor and a Catholic chief
being killed. The missionaries and a rem
nant of the Catholic natives were forced to
take refuge in the English fort The King,
when leaving Uganda, was attacked by
boats carrying a maxim gun and fled with
one of the bishoDs, while the brothers dis
persed in different directions.
THE PABISIAN YIEW OF It
A French Protestant Preacher Sees
No
Barm In Sunday Fair Opening.
PARIS, May 29. The agitation in Amer
ica against the opening of the World's Fair
on Sundays attracts considerable attention
here. Senator Dide, a Protestant clergy
man, spoke as follows on the subject to a
reporter:
On theological grounds, I do not think that
opposition can be made to opening of ex
hibitions in general. Local considerations,
however, may make it preferable that the
Chicago Exhibition he closed on Sundays.
If the majority of pious citizens are scan
dalized by the opening of the Fair on Sun
day, it certainly ought not to be opened that
day. Speaking as a European, who has
studiod both theology and political econ
omy, I point out that on Sunday the work
ing classes, fice from labor, can visit the
Fair without loss of money. Sunday open
ing is not really opposed to piety.
Mr. Pratt, Special Commissioner from
the Shah of Persia to the World's Fair, has
arrived here on his way to Chicago. He
reports that a lively interest is taken in
Persia in the Chicago exhibition.
EMIN'S IXPEDITION IN HAED ITJCK.
Smallpox and Famine Retard Bis March
Through African Forests.
Berlin, May 29. Details of Emin
Pasha's latest journey from Zanzibar to the
African interior, written by Dr. Sttihlmann,
have been received here. The 'writer says
Emin desired to explore the primeval for
est rather than to return to Wadelai. Ow
ing to lack of victuals the carriers were
compelled to retreat, and disease and fam
ine laid the expedition open to frequent na
tive attacks. Finally smallpox broke oat,
and this last difficulty compelled Emin in
December to send Stuhlmann in advance
with the healthy members ot the caravan.
Much valuable scientific and geographical
knowledge has been gained by the expedi
tion. It appears to be certain that the
Mumbiro Mountains, which Stanley annexed
for England, are really west of the 30th
meridian, and, therefore, belong to the
Kongo State.
Anarchists Continue to Rant.
Paris, May 29. A number of An archists
held a meeting here to-day'in the Faubourg
du Temple, at which it was resolved to con
tinue the spreading of their propaganda by
action. Several speakers praised Ravachol
and advocated tho robbing of the rich, and
murder, if necessary.
Communist Graves Decorated.
It Pabis, May 29. The Communists of the
city held a demonstration in the cemetery of
Pere la Chaise to-day at the graves of the
Communists who were killed in 1871. A
number of red flags were displayed and a
number ofrevolutionary speeches "made.
Two Thonsand Spaniards on Strike.
Madrid, May 29. Two thousand work
men employed in the Valladolid shops of

duction ot the hours of labor and are coerc
ing other workmen to join the strike.

projected for the occasion of President
Carnnt's visit to this place had been counter
manded. 090 Die of Cholera in Fonr Days.
Calcutta, May 29. The cholera epi

have died.
BR1GGS' FOES JUBILANT,
Though They Disclaim Any Zeal in the
Matter Tha Doctor I'oints Out the
Strange Position In Which lie Was
Placed The Programme To-Day.
Tortland, Ore.. May 29. With the
ending of the "Brings case" the Presbyter
ian Assembly comes to the question, How is
it regarded by those affected? The prose
cution are jubilant because they have got
all they demanded. They will return to
New York to renew their work, though
they disclaim that they have, any "zeal" in
the matter. The position of the conserva
tive men is that of partial satisfaction,
some being dissatisfied because the case was
not brought to an absolute decision on the
spot.
In conversation, Dr. Briggs called atten
tion to the anomalous position which he oc
cupied in the appeal case. Ths real de
fendant was the Presbytery of New York,
though for reasqns entirely technical he
was compelled to appear and defend the ac
tion which really damaged him. Being sec
ond "original party" in the case, he had to
resist the appeal which was brought by the
other "original party," although the appeal
was not against him nor anything which he
had done," but solely against the Presby
tery's action. He expressed his desire that
the Presbytery should proceed with the
trial tinder sufficient charges and speci
fications, but to those which he had been
called to plead he had grave objections.
Expressing his own personal views, a
prominent officer of the assembly said: "A
man who is accused of stealing chickens ob
jects to being tried for stealing ahorse."
In the vote of yesterday Moderator Young
had no voice, being debarred by the consti
tution, but he expressed himself to-day as
satisfied with the action taken. The vote
to sustain the appeal was so large that the
general sentiment is that of satislaction, but
those who for constitutional reasons voted
against the appeal in toto nre preparing a
formal protest, which will be largely signed
and will be entered upon the minutes.
The remaining business in the Briggs
case is only formal. A resolution disposing
of the case will be offered early, and it is
not expected that there will be much dis
cussion, but the wording of it is regarded as
important, and the interests of all parties
will be carefully guarded. The order for 10
o'clock is a supplementary report ot the
Theological Seminaries Committee. It is
almost identical with the report submitted
some days ago, and will scarcely be condu
cive of the harmony which was desired. It
is alleged to be self-contradictory in its
proposals, and will be assailed on this
ground. The rest of the business session
will be hurried through because of a grow
ing desire of the commissioners to return to
their homes.
BOB FLOYD CAPTURED.
The Southern Express Robber and Mur
derer Finally Corralled.
Jacksonville, Fla., May 29. Bob
Floyd, the express robber and murderer,
turned up at midnight last night in the
house of a farmer named Benafield, in
Jonesville, 25 miles from Gainesville in
Alachira county. He was recognized at
Jonesville Friday, and word was sent to
Gainesville on Saturday at noon for
a posse to come and arrest him. He had
stopped at a house and got something to
eat, and then inquired the way to Bena
field's. Mr. Benafield met the posse yester
day, while they were coming into Jones
ville. When questioned he said that Floyd
might still be at his house, and arranged
for his capture. Floyd had given a letter
to Benafield to mail, which gave him away.
The posse returned with Bonafield, and at
a signal agreed on Floyd was surrounded
and was ordered by the sheriff to surrender
and to hand out his pistol. The officer
told Floyd that he had plenty of
armed men and resistance was
useless. This was about 11:30
o'clock last night. Flovd opened the door,
handed out the pistol and held up his
hands as ordered when being searched and
afterward many citizens talked with him.
He is a slight, boyish looking man with a
smooth face. He told his story frankly and
impressed all who heard it as being a smart
country lad led by evil companions into
trouble.
REPORTED BY A PARTY OF INDIANS.
Nothing Further Deflnltoly Known of the
Alleged Dr. Jackson Murder.
SEATTLE, WASH., May 29. Sperfa?.
The steamer Mexico has arrived here, hav
ing left Sitka May 11. None of the officers
and passengers had heard anything of the
alleged murder of Sheldon Jackson. The
report of the murder was brought down on
the Danube by James Dean, Alaska's
World's Fair Commissioner, who got it
from Indiaus. They told him the murder
was committed three weeks ago, as de
scribed in yesterday's dispatches. Dean is
not a man likely to make mistakes, but pos
sibly the Indians were telling him of the
killing of Missionary Charles H. Edwards
by smugglers in January.
Dr. Jackson sailed May 13, from Port
Townsend, on the cutter Bear, for Oun
alaska, and even if the Bear left Jackson
at Juneau he could not have arrived there
before May 18, and there is no reason to
believe he did not go directly to'Ounalaska.
Malcolm Campbell, the whisky smnggler
charged with the murder of Charles H.
Edwards was not indicted by the grand
jury at Juneau. Campbell had the influ
ence of the whisky element, and secured
his release with little difficulty.

lar speaker. He participated in the Civil
War throughout and before the war was

GIELS DE1VEN FROM SEES GABDEHS.
An Ordinance Forbidding Them From At
tending Danceri Alone Enforced.
Elizabeth N. J., May 20. On petition of
many women, the City Council recently
passed an ordinance which prohibits girls
under 16 from attending public dances with
out their parents or guardians. Penalties of
fines and imprisonment are imposed on
offending girls and societies which hold
picnics permitting violations.
Last night, at the opening picnic of the
season, the police raided several pnbllo
gardens, ejecting girls. Many -were sur
prised and willingly went out, but others
used all sorts of subterfuges. Their names
were taken for Investigation. One associa
tion appninted a committee to assist the
police. The raids caused a sensation.
Tlie East End's Wild West.
Sharpsburg witnessed quite an exciting
sight Saturday night, when'.elght Texan pon

tricks of the Wild West. These ponies are
owned by the sons of business men in the
East End. Saturday being a night on for

IHgglus Is for Cleveland.
Colonel Eggleston and Eugene Hlgglns, of
Baltimore, were at the Union depot last
evening going home. The Colonel thinks
Gorman will be tho next President. He
claims Maryland furnished moro Union
troops in proportion to population tnan
Massachusetts, and the fact that Gorman
comes from a rebel State will not hurt him.
Mr. Hlgglns Is for Cleveland, and he says he
will bo nominated and elected on a tariff
reform platform.
A Great Saving of Money.
The immense car used in the bloom de
partment of the Edgar Thomson Steel
Works, for the transfer of the heavy blooms

car. The result showed this immense ma
chine can be run with electricity.

The Mother's Responsibility.
In New Tork City alone over 100. 000 children die
every summer. This is all wrong; It Is all need
less. The greater number of theso deaths are caused
by Improper care and food. Fully half of these
deaths could have been prevented had laetated
food been known and used. This pure substitute
for mother's milk brings the little one back to
strength and health, and keeps the child happy
and hearty.
