THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 24, 1900. S WON BY AN OUTSIDER SIDNEY IXCAS CAPTUKKD THE AMERICAX DERBY. The Eastern Colt James Was Second, and the Favorite, Lieutenant Gibson, a Poor Third. CHICAGO. June 23. Sidney "Lucas, al most neglected In the betting at odds of 15 to 1, won the thirteenth American Derby this afternoon at "Washington. Park. Six lengths behind him -was the Eastern, colt, James, and still further back, struggling to no avail, was the vaunted public choice, tbe even-money favorite, Lieutenant Gib eon. Barrack, Advance Guard and Sam Phillips In order brought up the proces sion -which carried little Joy to the 30.000 spectators who saw the great classic event decided. "The rush of Sidney Lucas through the stretch .nd the falling back of Lieu tenant Gibson was so eudden, so startling, that It fairly stupefied the crowd. Per haps not one In a hundred had picked Sid ney Lucas to turn the trick. Lieutenant Gibson, the favorite, had no excuses. Sam Phillips, the second choice, was in the same unfortunate category. Thus the great event passed into turf annals, and registered the ninth defeat of a favorite In a race which has been contested 13 times. The result, mourned by eo many, Has thrown Its damper upon the spirits of nearly all except the bookmakers. The scene was one of animation. Flashes of color in bewildering profusion came out from the swell turnouts and automobiles ana in the field where society viewed the race. From the clubhouse, where was one bewildering array of pretty women in Terby gowns, while in the grandstand there was a bewildering and kaleidoscopic sprinkling of those dainty tints which form the costumes of women and enhance their beauty. Against this setting, the sterner appearance of their escorts framed the background. "When the starters and Jockeys were posted for the one star-feature event of the day the crowd surged In almost end less streams toward the ring where the pencillers stood on their little stools of fering odds. "When at last the bugle called the six chosen thoroughbreds to the post there was a hushed expectancy. All were eager to see the royal purple of "Board of Trade" Charley Smith, borne by Lieu tenant Gibson, for the colt had not made a public appearance in Chicago. The ex pectations were more than realised. He was the only really racy-looking youngster In ihe bunch, standing out in contrast to the rather dejected appearance of the rest jOf the field. Sidney Lucas attracted at tention, but It was the attention bestowed upon the red flannel bandages upon his lore lege. Around to the start at, the half mile post slowly wended the field. There the nervous temperament of Lieutenant Gibson showed In his uneasy shlftings. One false break, and then Starter Dwyer dropped his red flag, and "they're off" came-the' old familiar cry from the im mense'throng. Barrack's nose was In front, with James 6ccond and the favorite third. Around the stretch and turn and down the straight away for the first time swung the field. Coming past the grandstand. Lieutenant Gibson, fairly fighting, was leading by a head, and James, running almost as easily, was second. Sam Phillips, the hope of the Schorr stable, with Jockey Tommy Burns in the saddle, was third. The disconsolate-looking Sidney Lucas was fourth, With Barrack and Advance Guard bring ing up the rear. Pa&t the quarter pole swept the field, Sidney Lucas displacing Sam Phillips In third position. Jockey Mitchell loosened hfs wrap on the reins through the back stretch, and James moved to the van. Ho was only a length before Gibson, who had Lucas at his girth. Around the far turn Boland began to let down his mount. but only slightly, the first three moving to the pole denoting the final quarter-mile to the wire, half-lengths apart There surely Gibson would go to the front, thought the crowd. But It was Sldnsr Lucas who was moving to the front. Boland urged Lieutenant Gibson. He passed James for a few seconds, but Sidney Lucas was In front. Shortly nfter wards he was caught between Sidney ' Lucas and James, and his progress slightly interfered with. Boland would have had to go around, but the two were leaving the carrier pf many thousands of dollars of public money behind. There, between ttfe quarter and eighth posts, was decided the thirteenth American Derby. Thomp son Brothers' colt outstripped James, and an eighth of a mile from home he was two open lengths to the good. . For an Instant Gibson rallied and drew tip sljghtlj- ahead of James, but it was his last rally.. On the wire, gaining at svery stride, came Sidney Lucas. Past the Judges' stand he galloped, six lengths be fore James. The latter was second, eight lengths before the even-money proposi tion, on which Boland had been making every effort to rouse his mount. But It was no use. Sidney Lucas may never again beat this field at the weights, but he today has the blue-ribbon event of the Washington Park meeting to his credit, and his owners are richer by $9975, the amount of first money. The owners of the second -and third horses receive J20G0 and $1000, respectively. The results were: One mile Sam Fulton won. Modrlne sec ond, "Larkspur third; time, 1:45. Six furlongs Reminder won.

Revolution in the Slxc and Power of Monnr&is of the Itnll. Chicago Inter Ocean. Beginning with the adoption of modern valve gear In about 18C0. and during the in tervening period of 40 years, the typical American passenger locomotive has in creased its size of cylinder from 16x22 inches to 20x2S Inches, or practically doub led the cubic capacity. The diameter of the driving wheels, which nowadays causes the chance observer astonishment on account of its great size, has increased from five feet to as high as eight feet six Inches. The pressure of steam used has grown from 100 pounds in 1860 to 255 pounds. The ability to draw loads has been more than trebled. The diameter of the boiler sbell. and hence the steam capacity has grown from less than four feet to nearly six feet. The total weight of the engine was about 61,000 pounds in 1S00, and Is now in extreme cases as high as 173.003 pounds. The freight locomotive has had a simi lar increase In size. Beginning with lo comotives of about the size of the passen ger engines In 1SG0. the extreme develop ment has been reached In an engine re cently built for the Illinois Central, which has a total weight of 232,200 pounds. This locomotive Is the heaviest in the world. With this rate of growth continued for five years, Mr. Forsyth, who has recently wrlten an instructive paper on this sub ject, figures that the engines of 1903 will be far larger than even the largest loco motives In us; today. He thinks the larg est engines built at that time will have cylinders at least 2Sx30 Inches In slzo, or nearly double the cubic edacity of the passenger engine cylinders In us; today. The boiler pressure, he thinks, will un quentlomably go up to 303 pounds, and the size of the boiler and furnace area will be Increased proportionately. The ability to haul a load will be over one-third greater than that of the present engine. Finally, he predicts a total weight of 311.000 pounds, almost a third heavier than the heaviest locomotive in existence today. When these dimensions are reached the type of American locomotive in use today will have attained Its greatest possible development. NEGRESS CUT TO DEATH. Resalt of a Flprht In tus North End of Portland. Emma Golden, a colored denizen- of the North End. had a fight with another voman of her class io front of the Mono gram saloon, at the corner of Fourth and Everett streets, at 2:15 thte morning. In which a razor was used upon her with eubh effect that she died before she could be taken to a hospital. Fay Scvre was arrested and charged wJth the crime. 1 Stanford Beats Seattle. SEATTLE.

Radical and Socialist Press Lay the Trouble to the Klao Chon Selsare. BERLIN, June 23. Ttoe Chinese troubles have almost cemp'etery swept the South African War from public attention. Even tthe latest Pretoria news went uncom mented upon, except by the military. About Chtocee events tbe Foreign Office uses great reticence, ond above all stu diousfiy avoids admitting that the present events mean an actual and probably bit ter aad protracted war with China. This may bo partly owing to the attacks of tine Radical and Socialistic press, which matataims that the present rjslng of Chi nese against the "foreign devils" Is directly or lndsiectcy due to the German seizure of Klao Ghou. In this the papers are strcttgUbened by the public utterances of tho German missionary BVJhop of Shan Tung, Van Anzer, who recently described the dacitrous effect upon missionary work of Uhe Klao Chou seizure. In political circles here it Is known that the Foreign Office was quite surprised by the IncreasingCy serious character of the Chinese uprising. "While it is true Baron von KetiteSer. the German Minister at Pe kln, vsrvi tiwo months ago a detailed report containing alarming advices from the Ger man Consuls throughout China, and pre dicting serious trouble before long, not much attention was paid here to the re port, because KettcJer was new in Peklnv But, though the Emperor and Count von Bulow. tbe Minister of Foreign Affairs, do not attach much Importance to the mws from China, they are now thorough ly aroused.' His Majesty declared Friday at Kiel that German Interests in China under no circumstances must be allowed to suffer, no matter how great tbe sacri fice. Tbe bu!k of tlbe German press takes the same view. The Kreutz Zeltung prints an interesting editorial, saying: "It is quite uncertain what will be the final outcome of the troubles In- China. It wiM be Impossible to re-establish a vigorous authoritative central government at PekJn. such as the powers desire and will need. Presumably they will be obliged to enlarge and give definite shape to the rphere-of-interest policy, and further to dlvftJe China, either with or without leav ing a nominal central government at Pe kln. To several of rhe powers the prcserx crisis enme too quickly, which further en dangers the situation." The Foreign Office says that its latest news from Tien Tsln Is substantially the same as that set fofth in the statement of Right Hon. St. John Broderick. Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs In the British House of Commons. The For eign Office states, howover. that "the Chi nese troops have made desperate resist ance to the International force, whida again proves that It will be necessary for the powers to continue their present policy of Jointly enforcing order In China, and aloo the necessity for harmonious action be tween the powers." Lord Gough, the British Charge in Ber lin, today said to the correspondent of the Aaxciated Press that he doubted If the poweiB bad yet exchanged views concern ing the future state of the Chinese Gov ernment, or what would be done with the Empress Dowager and those allied with her. The only course at present, he thought. Is to enforce order and protect Europeans. The Parliamentary season is now fairly closed, and the Cabinet officials here have begun their Summer vacations. Today, before leaving for the conven tion In Bremen of the Free Trade Society, Dr. Theo Barth, the Frelssinnlgc leader, said to the correspondent of the Asso ciated Press: "In the fight against an Increase in ag ricultural duties, as the Agrarians want them fixed in the coming commercial treaties, much will depend upon the la boring classes. If they organize a com bination against such Increased prices on the necessaries of life which are to bo made for the benefit of a few thousand large estate-holders, the projected In creases will be prevented." The seml-mlllenial celebration of the birth of John Guttenburg. Inventor of printing, began today at Mayence, Tho fete today consisted of the opening of a typographical and historical exposition, with fine exhibits from the state printing establishments and departments In Ber lin. Vienna, Paris. Lisbon. Madrid and St. Petersburg. A performance of Maccabees will occur tomorrow: also an academical celebration In the City Hall. Then will follow a musical and oratorical celebra tion at the Guttenburg monument. The "To Deum" will be sung at this place by 600 boy choristers. Monday will folrow a magnificent historical procession. Among those In line will be 303) men. women and children, clad in the costume of the 13th century. There will be 41 big floats, drawn by 803 horses. A grand ban quet will follow In the evening, as well as evening concerts. The Guttenburg museum will also be founded the same day. Delegates from scores of scientific Institutions In France. England. Italy and America are in attendance upon this cel ebration, among them being Professor Hunt, of Princeton University. Comparatively few Americans are pass ing through Berlin fewer, even, than during the Spanish-American War. As Indicating the Increased Interest In American matters taken by German newspapers, it is worth noting that the great news-gathering organization, the Wolff Bureau, now sends to the German press an Interesting weekly American mall letter written by a special corre spondent In New York.

THEY SHOT CRAPS FOR HIM Why the Actor Had a Different 'Walter at His Last Hotel Meal. Washington Star. "The only time I was ever ac tually put on the block ana made an article of barter," said a Washington actor who came back home for a rest the other day, "happened at a hotel In New Orleans last Win ter. The show was fln New Or leans for a week. I went to a small but well-managed hotel, not In the down-town district, that had been recommended to me. The two waiters in the hotel dining-room who attended to the corner where I decided to sit were a pair of very black young fellows, Mose and Zeke. Mose caught my eye first when I took my first meal in the hostelry, and from then on he waited on me splendidly. He was one of the best waiters I ever saw, was Mose, and the way he Jollied the cook into giving me extras was some thing wonderful. I am not In the habit of tipping waiters promiscuously when on the road, but I alwajs do the right thing by tho waiter who has taken good care of me at the wind-up of my stay in a hotel. I told Mose that I'd fix hhn out all right If ho'd go on treating me right, and he grinned and renewed his efforts to give mo a good deal more than was legiti mately coming to me. As the week wore on, Mose did better and better by me; his attentions to me were almost embar rassing. In fact. Zeke. the other waiter who attended to the corner of the dining room In which I sat, eyed Mose enviously throughout most of the week. Zeke's ta bles were filled with countrified-looking folks, who didn't look as If they ever heard of such a thing as tipping a waiter, and it was easy to see that Zeke had It all figured out that I was liable to prove a good thing, and that he was lamenting his fate that he wasn't taking care of me. Mose In his turn would grin' triumphantly at Zeke every time he passed by him, and altogether It wan funny to witness tho little play between the pair of wait era "I was to leave the hotel on Saturday evening, and X had decided that I would give Mose a $2 bill a pretty sizable tip down in New Orleans, where the folks accept the attentions of colored attend ants largely as a matter of course, and rarely think of tipping them. "I was surprised when I sat down at supper the last meal I was to take at the hotel to see that Zeke was in charge of my table. He bent 'an attentive ear to take my order, while Mose, looking the p'cture of shecpishness and misery, stood some distance away gazing at Beke and then at me. " 'What's th matter with Moser I asked Zeke. 'He's not sore on me, I hope? " 'No, suh. he ain't nu'hln' like dat, suh,' said Zeke. but he offered me no ex planation as to why Mose had passed me up, as It were. " 'But why isn't Mose wnitlng on me, as usual 7 I asked Zeke. "Zeke only grinned in reply, and I was mystified. " 'You tell Mose to come over here I want to see h:m.' I said to Zeke. Zeke grinned still more amply, and beckoned to Mcjse. Mose came over to my table, drag ging his feet after him In a dismal sort of way, and for tho soul of me I couldn't make out what ailed the man. " 'Mose ' said I. 'what's the matter with you? Why are you not waiting on me? "Mose. continuing to look the picture of despair, replied: " 'Bekaa; Ah dun lost yo' out, suh. " 'Lost me out? said I, s'lll snore mysti fied. '"What do you mean by that? " 'Ah dun lost yo. all out tuh Zeke. auh.' said Mose. sadly. 'We dun bin uh shootln' crap for yo' all dis roohnin', an" Zeko he dun win yo4 all out, suh, dat's all "I couldn't help but let out a laugh that caused everybody in the dining-room to turn around and look at me. When I declined to abide by the arbitrament of tho dice, and handed Mose his $2 bill, he was tho most dellghtedlooklng darky I ever clapped an eye on, and Zeke seemed to be grateful enough for the quarter I gave him to placate him. But I'm afraid there may have been a razor play or so between Zeke and Mose when they got to gether off duty." 'o Compulsion. The man wan sitting on the front steps of Ns house at 3 o'clock In the roorn.ng as the policeman came by and noticed him. "Hello," exclaimed the startled guard ian of the peace, "what are you do'ng thero?" and ho drew near cautiously. "Sitting here," responded the man. "What are you sitting there for?" "It's my house, and I guess I've got a right to, have'nt I?" "Oh, excuse me," apologized the police man, coming closer; "I dMn't recognize you. "What's tho matter? LoX your night key?" "No," very curtly. "Forgot It when you came out?' "No." "Afraid of disturbing somebedy that's sick If jou knock?" "No." "Waiting for the milkman, perhaps?" ventured the policeman, taking another tack. "No," shorter than ever. "Want to get In early to breakfast, perhaps." "No." "Sitting here to get cool before go'ng to bed, likely?" and the policeman chuck led, for the thermometer marked consid erably below freezing. "No." "Are you" began the pal'cenian, when, according to the Washington Star, the man interrupted Mm. "Say," he paid, "do I have to reveal to you the sacred secrets of my household?" "No," eafd the policeman, almost &s short as the man had said It. "Do I have to communicate to you my domestlc infelicities?" "No." "Do I have to tell you that my wife is waiting at the head of tho stairs in there for me?" "No." "Do I have to Inform you that she has declared war?" "No," stammered the astonished police man. "Well, then," commanded' the man, "you go on away from here and attend to ycur own business. I'll sit here till the middle of next week if I want to," and the po liceman, thoroughly abashed, ap3loglzed to the roan and went on around the cor ner. Pittsburg Press. The Deadly Air Bubblen. London Answers. Very often a soldier gets so severe a wound from the tiny bullet of the mod ern rifle that he concludes the enemy has no respect for the Geneva convention and is using the terrible explosive bullets which no civilized nation uses now. Sur geons who know their business well are well aware of the explanation of this mistake. The explosive effects are due to the air which the bullet drives before It Into the wound. Anyone can put the matter to a simple test. By dropping a round bullet Into a glass of water from a height of one or two yards It will be seen that the mo ment the bullet touches the bottom a GREAT OPPORTUNITY. BALMY SUfiriER THE SEASON FOR TREATING DISEASE. Dr. Copeland's Earnest Advice to AH Chronic Invalids Is to Take Advantage of Favorable Climatic Conditions for the Medical Attention They Require. Of the hundreds of cases of asth ma, lang: troubles, rheumatism and catarrhal diseases treated and cared at the Copcland Institute dnr inR the past seven years, under the inexpensive system now no popular with the community, statistics prove that the average time occu pied In a cure, vrltli patients begin ning daring; the Summer months, is from one-third to one-half less than tt 1th those ucfclnninrr a course dur ing the rlgrors of "Winter. The aim of the Copcland physi cians is not only to enre the dis eases that malic so much of the SEVERE THROAT TROUBLE. Mr. James Patterson, Woodstock: I suffered with my throat for 23 years. Much of the time. I was In danger of starving to death. I had great dltllculty ln swallowing, and for days could eat scarcely enough to keep me alive. The smallest particle of food would cause gagging and strangling and nearly choke me. I had doctored until I was completely discouraged and without hope of being cured. After reading and hearing of the remarkable cures made at the Copeland Institute I concluded to go there for treatment. I am better now than I have been In years; better than I ever ex pected to be In my life. Mrs. A.

She was pale and weak, and al ways tired and exhausted. Drs. Copeland and Montgomery cured her. CONSULTATION 1 "v )ri Mr. Jamen I'ntterion, Woodntock.

In some cases this bubble has a volume of air 20 times as large as the bullet. ! But when a ride bullet Is traveling at J immense speed it drives before it a com pressed bubble much larger still. A mili tary surgeon fired a pistol into a vessel of water so arranged that he was able to catch ond measure the air bubble, and ho found It to be 100 times the size of the ball. The destructive effects of this mass of air when it gets Into a man's body may be Imagined. It regularly explodes, tear ing the muscles In a terrible manner.
