AMERICAN WON DERBY
WHITNEY'S VOLODYOVSKI CAME
I IN FIRST AT EPSOM.
The Blue Ribbon Event of the Brit,
lab. Turf Witnessed by a Lar
ger Crowd Than Usual.
EPSOM, June 5. William C. Whitney's
Volodyovsk! won the Derby In record
time, 2:40 3-5, but came very near losing
It. Volodyovsk! seemed to have the race
veil in hand, and the Immense crowd,
which .almost to a man had backed the
horse. Joyfully yelled "Volodyovskl wins!"
when Morey Canno, on William III, came
on with a rush, challenged and for a
moment seemed to be In front, but Relff,
by the vigorous use of his whip, managed
to regain the lead, and won by a quarter
of a length- The crowd had too much of
a scare to be very enthusiastic, and sel
dom has less cheering been heard for a
winner of a Derby. Harry Payne Whit
ney, beaming with delight, led the horse
In, alternately patting the animal's neck
and looking up at Relff, saying, "Good
hoy, good boy." Mr. Whitney subse
quently said to a representative of the
Associated Press:
"Of course, I am more than pleased,
and the only disappointment Is owing to
my father not being here to enjoy our
triumph. It was a pretty race, but I must
vsay I thought the second horse was go
ing to catch us."
At this point Richard Croker came up
and enthusiastically congratulated Mr.
Whitney.
"Yes, we're glad to take the trophy to
America once more," said Mr. Whitney,
as he went back off to send a telegram
to his father Coaches about the stand
were crowded with Americans, but they
were very undemonstrative.
Although it was clear that the war in
South Africa still keeps many habitues
away, today's contest was witnessed by
much' greater crowds than for some years
past. The weather was all that could be
wished for th's, the people's picnic. Ve
hicles first rolled in by twos and threes
and then by dozens, until the white road
leading to the Downs smoked tvith the
dust of the vast heterogeneous cavalcade,
and the air was filled with .weird medley
from tin trumpets, barrel organs and
cornets. The trains brought thousands of
people from all directions, and later came
the coaches and carriages, dropping their
aristocratic occupants at the entrances of
the grandstands at the Jockey Club in-
closure, until they were filled.
Such a display of fashion and bright
colors had not been seen in England since
the opening of the war. . Many old and
well-known patrons of the turf were seen,
although such favorites as King Edward
and Lord Rosebery were necessarily ab
sent, owing to the official period of mourn
ing for Queen Victoria being still unex
pired. Khaki was even more conspicu
ous than last year, when the popular vic
tory of the then Prince of Wales' Dia
mond Jubilee was coincident with Lord
Roberts' entry Into Johannesburg.
Among the prominent persons present
were Mr. and Mrs. Perry Belmont, who
arrived In Leopold Rothschild's coach and
viewed the race from the Jockey Club
stand. The Earl and Countess of Essex
(formerly Miss Beach Grant, 'of New
York); the Duke and Duchess of Devon
shire, the Duke and Duchess of Portland,
the Marquis and Marchioness of London
derry, the Earl and Countess of Derby,
Mr. and Mrs. Foxhall Keene, of New
York; Lady Curzon and Prince Victor
Dhuleep Singh.
After a couple of minor events, the sec
ond of which Maher won, the way was
cleared for the blue ribbon race, and the
paddock was soon filled with gay groups
scanning their respective favorites. Volo
dyovskl naturally was the center of at
traction, and a host of admirers sur
rounded Mr. Whitney's crack colt. The
betting was 5 to 2 against Volodyovskl; 100
to 7 against William III, and 40 to 1
against Veronese.
The starters were: Volodyovskl (L.
Relff), Florlform, Handlcapper (Martin),
Revenue, William III, Royal Rogue, Ver
onese, Sang Eleu. Wargrave, Pletermar
ltzburg. H. R. H., Veles, Ian, Royal
George, Cottager, Olympian (Henry),
Orchid, Tantalus (Maher), Lord Bobs,
St. MacLou, Ruskln, Dorlctes, Claquer,
Prince Charles II (Turner) and Osboch.
The conditions of the race were as fol
lows: The Derby stakes of 6000 sover
eigns, by subscription of 50 sovereigns
each, for 3-year-olds, the nominator of
the winner to receive 500 sovereigns, the
owner of the second hors'e 300, and the
owner of the third 200 sovereigns out of
the stakes: about V& miles. There were
279 subscribers.
In the draw for the place it was found
that the favorite had the middle of the
field. Ruskin led the parade in a canter.
There was a long delay at the post, caused
principally by the fractiousness of Or
chid. Eventually a fair start was effect
ed. Foxhall Keene's Olympian was first
away, with Claquer, Osboch and Lord
Bobs close up. In settling down Olympian
retained the lead. After the mile Orchid
closed up, Volodyovskl remaining 10th.
Down the hill Olympian was closely
pressed by Lord Bobs and Revenue. Then
Volodyovskl and William III rapidly Im
proved their positions. Round Tatten
ham corner several horses dropped out.
A quarter of a mile from home Volody
ovskl took up the running, and William
III drew to second place. The favorite
seemed to be winning easily, when Will
lam III came on with a tremendous rush,
but Relff pulled the favorite together and
landed him a winner.
The race In detail was as follows:
William C. Whitney's brown colt Volody
ovskl (L. Relff), Florlzol-La Relne, first;
the Duke of Portland's bay colt William
HI, St. Simon-Gravity, second; Douglas
Baird's chestnut colt Veronese, Donavan.
Malze, third.
The Nadlne colt (Maher) won the Ju
venile plate of 200 sovereigns for 2-year-olds;
distance, five furlongs. Twelve
horses ran.
Disdainful (Jenkins) won the Banmore
plate. Castllian came- in second and
Dixie (Maher) finisned third.

IN A FIT OF INSANITY.
Missouri Engineer Killed His Wife
and Daughter and Then Himself.
MACON, Mo., June 5. James Stacey,
an engineer, aged 51, living three miles
east of here, on the Burlington road, to
day In a fit of mental aberration killed
his wife and daughter, aged 18, and then,
after relating the fact to a married
daughter, who had called, shot himself
to death. James, an 8-year-old son, was
spared. The tragedy occurred early this
morning, when the victims were asleep.
Stacey, who for the past 30 years has
been a trusted engineer at the Clarence
water tank, arose at J A. M. to go to
work. It is known that he loved his
family, but when he awoke this morning
he was seized with an uncontrollable Im
pulse to commit the horrible deed. The
wife was the flr.st to suffer. With a clock
weight Stacey sent her into eternity by
a blow on the left temple.
His daughter. Alma, aged 18. a beauti
ful girl, was asleep In a room upstairs,
with James, her brother. There the father
next went, and picking up the boy laid
him on a cot In an adjoining room. Then
with the clockweight the crazed man
ended the life of his daughter as he had
that of the wife.
Shortly before daylight Mrs. Sophia
Spltles, Stacey's married daughter, who
lived near by, ran over on some errand.
Her father calmly told her what he
had done, and the frightened woman
rushed to Inform her husband, who im
mediately ran over to the' Stacey home.
Before he arrived he heard the report of
the gun. Stacey was found lying on the
porch with his head nearly blown off by
the contents of a heavily loaded shotgun.
He had placed the barrel in his mouth
and pulled the trigger with his toes.
Stacey was a Mason In good standing.
He was addicted to no bad habits, and
had, it is stated, amassed quite a for
tune. He owned 60 acres of fine land and
i had 'other property. His home life was
peculiarly pleasant, and in the village of
Clarence no family was more highly re
spected than was Stacey's. Until now
Stacey's sanity has never been question
ed, but now It is thought long hours of
work and loss of sleep unbalanced his
mind and Impelled him to commit the
frightful deed.
Hopeless Division of Liberals.
NEW YORK, June 5. John Morley. says
a Tribune dispatch from London, has al
ways been noted as one of the best plat,
form speakers In Great Britain, and he
fias worthily upheld his reputation In this
respect at Montrose. While Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman a few days ago at
Edinburgh was content to taunt the Gov
ernment with spending a lot of money In
order to bring the hostilities in South
Africa to a successful conclusion, Mr.
Morley denounced the war and the policy
of the British Government that led up to
It In no uncertain terms. Nothing, per
haps, serves to Illustrate more forcibly
the almost hopeless division on this ques
tion In the ranks of the Liberal party.
Boy Murders His Sister.
SANTA FE, N. M., June 5. Mariano
Qulntana, the 10-year-old son of Reyes
Qulntana, shot and killed his 5-year-old
sister, at San Geronlmo, San Miguel
County, because she did not have his din-
1 ner ready for him when he wanted it.

M'KERRON CASE AGAIN.
Officials Will Decide Whether Rec
ord Was Established.
NEW YORK, June 5. In response to
the petition of George W. Archer, Frank
Bower and other officials of the National
Trotting Association, President P. P.
Johnston has ordered that a special meet
ing of the board of review be held at the
office of the association In Hartford on
June 27. It is understood among horse
men that the meeting is for the purpose
of reconsidering the ruling made by the
board In the John McKerron case at Its
May session In New York.
This will be the third tjme the Turf
Court has considered the performance of
H. K. Devereux's trotter in the cup race
at Boston last year. At the first hearing
In December the board decided by unani
mous vote that, having competed for a
valuable prize, which could be won, Mc
Kerron's performance constituted a rec
ord. But prominent horsemen Interested
In amateur sport succeeded in obtaining
a rehearing at the meeting last month,
and with a bare quorum present the
board, by a vote of three to two, reversed
the December ruling of the full board,
holding thatjio record was made.
This ruling caused a commotion among
horsemen. George W. Archer and Frank
Bower, members of the December board,
petitioned President Johnston to call an
other meeting. The turf tribunal for the
special meeting is likely to be made up
of President Johnston, Vice-President
Archer, ex-Governor Morgan; Bulk
ley, of Connecticut; 'Frank Bower, of
Philadelphia; Henry Schmulbach, of
Wheeling, W. Va.; Senator J. W. Bailey,
of Texas, and perhaps A. B. Spreckels, of
San Francisco.

NEWPORT, R. I., June 5. The yacht
Constitution, in tow, left the harbor ear
ly today for the Herreschoffs' works at
Bristol to undergo repairs of the damage
wrought by the collapse of her steel maet
while on a trial spin outside the harbor
yesterday. Considerable rigging trailed
along over the port rail as the Consti
tution started up the bay, and the big
steel boom gave her a decided list to
port.
Sir Thomas' Sympathy.
GOUROCK, June 5. Sir Thomas Lip
ton said to a representative of the As
sociated Press:
"It Is needless to say I have heard with
the greatest regret of the accident to the
Constitution, but I trust it will not to a
great extent upset their arrangements. I
am more than glad that no "one was
hurt. I sympathise deeply with all con
cerned, more so In view of my own recent
experience."

AMERICAN IN CHINA.
Favorable Impression Created by
Chaffee and His Soldiers.
YOKOHAMA, May 14, via Victoria. B.
C, June 5. Business conditions here show
no Improvement, though the panicky feel
ing has passed away, in a great measure.
In Yokohama there Is a notable decrease
In the number of foreign residents and
real estate and rents are at low ebb.
Affairs In China seem to show, In a re
markable way, the solid influence which
America Is there acquiring, largely attrib
utable to the favorable impression made
by General Chaffee and the troops under
his command. Something like consterna
tion prevails at the prospect of the with
drawal of these and of the Japanese,
these two nationalities having alone been
competent to keep order and gain the
confidence of the natives.
One of the papers here publishes the
following from an Interview with Prince
Chlng:
"I think the United States will do a
wise thing it it restores to China the
district now allotted to It, simultaneously
with the withdrawal of Its troops. If It
takes the initiative in this matter the
other powers will follow the example
set by it and the City of Pekin will then
be placed In the control of the Chinese
Government. Such a step, I think, Is an
urgent necessity for the restoration of
order in Pekin. I Judge that the Imperial
Court will not be able to return to Pekin
before the coming Fall.
"As for the existing relations between
the Emperor and Empress Dowager, I
may say that even should the de facto
right of governing the country be restored
to His Majesty's hands, it is not likely
that he will be able to make use of It In
carrying out all the schemes of reform
he may be cherishing at heart."
Every one here scouts at the Idea that
the Chinese Government will ever return
to Pekin, not being impossible to con
ceive of Its doing so and at the same
time preserving an atom of self-respect.
It is possible that it will make a show of
return to satisfy the present demand of
the allies, but It will be pretense, and
there Is nothing in the negotiations to
prevent Immediate subsequent change of
capltol, making all the present military
precautions and preparations abortive.
The universal impression is that in this
matter the allies have not only over
reached themselves, but have played di
rectly Into the hands of Russia.

TOLD STORY Of PEKIN
BARONESS VON KETTLELER RE
CEIVED BY EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Progress of the Plague at Hong
Kong Dr. Harnack Denounced
by Berlin Conference.
BERLIN, June 5. The correspondent of
the Associated Press learns that Emperor
William's reception of Baroness von liet
teler today, who was accompanied by her
mother-in-law, was most kind. His Maj
esty listened with interest to the recital
of the widow's sorrowful experiences dur
ing the siege of- Pekin; also, to her ac
count of Baron Von Ketteler's death. The
Empress, who was present at the audi
ence, often Interrupted with questions,
evincing the highest regard, for the wid
ow's courage and subsequent nursing of
the sick and wounded. Her Majesty, at
the Emperor's request, pinned the insignia
of the highest class of the Louise Order
to the widow's breast. In the evening, the
two Baronesses dined with the Emperor
and Empress. The Baronesses are not
the guesjs of Emperor William. They will
dine probably tomorrow with the Duke of
Albany, and may return to the Ketteler
estates, near Munster, Westphalia, the
next day, whence soon afterward they will
go to a watering place. The widow has
riot yet recovered from the attack of nerv
ous prostration.
ENGLISH COAL TAX.
Miners Complain That They Will
Have to Bear It.
NEW YORK, June 5. Secretary James
J. Low, of the National Miners' Federa
tion of Great Britain, has arrived here
from Glasgow. He Is on his way to
Soranton on business connected with the
federation, and will return home In a
few days. In speaking of the export duty
of a shilling a ton on British coal, he crit
icised the tax, and said that the miners
will be perfectly Justified In taking dras
tic steps, even to a national termination
of mining operations. He continued:
"The workmen generally In various dis
tricts show that they are strongly In fa
vor of taxing the mining royalties on
the total production of the country, say,
200.000,000 tons of coal produced year by
year. This really belongs to the nation,
and If this were done at least four times
the maximum duty on the exported ton
nage would be obtained. As to the wage
aspect of the case, the men declare that
the cutting of prices In the foreign trade
has in the past done much to reduce the
scale In the home market, and In this
way the tax would eventually have to be
borne by the workers. A decrease In the
coal exports which have been swelling so
in recent times would certainly also en
sue, and a large augmentation would be
made to the labor ranks of the men
thrown Idle by the decrease demand for
the shipping varieties."
Plague at Hong Kong.
LONDON, June 5. The Colonial Office

Dr. Copeland's Earnest Advice to AI! Chronic Invalids Is to Take
Advantage of Favorable Climatic Conditions for
the Medical Attention They Require.
Of the hundreds of cases of asth
ma, lung troubles, rheumatism and
catarrhal diseases treated and
cured at the Copeland Institute dur
ing the past ten years, under the
inexpensive sstem now so popular
with the community, statistics prove
that the average time occupied in a
cure, with patients beginning dur
ing the Summer months, Is from one
third to one-half less than with
those beginning a course during the
rigors of Winter.

My sickness was brought on by ex

from the head caused me to hawk and
spit constantly. Colds, from which I was
seldom free, aggravated all my symptoms
and made life miserable. I had ringing
and buzzing noises in the head and my
hearing was dull, all sounds seeming
muffled.
The "Worst Feature
of the disease, however, was Its effects
upon the stomach and bowels. My stom
ach grew gradually weaker until I could
eat nothing at all without suffering ter
ribly. Even when the stomach was
empty there was a soreness, extending
clear across the body, and a feeling of
dead weight in the stomach. After eat-,
ing there was bloating, belching and gen

I had lost 30 pounds and was good for
nothing. I was tired and drowsy all the
time and without any life or ambition.
I took both patent medicines and medi
cine prescribed by physicians, but nothing
did me any good. The Copeland treat

of catarrh require time.
Dr. Copeland feels that when hu

earnest advice to all who contem

the condition of a helpless crippled in
valid. I was unable to dress myself or
to eat without assistance, and grew so
weak and emaciated that I was but a
wreck of my former self. I was utterly
broken down and without a shadow of
hope for the future when I commenced a
course of treatment with the Copeland
Physicians. It Is with great joy and
thankfulness that I now testify to my
perfect restoration to health."

I wrote for your symptom blank I was
