FIFTEEN MAY START AMERICA DERBY WIU, BE BUN AT WASH1KGTOX PARK TODAY. TJxe Parader Regarded as. the Moat Probable Winner Track Promises to Be Fairly Good. CHICAGO. June 2L All Is In readiness ior the fourteenth running of the Ameri can Derby at the Washington Park track tomorrow afternoon. Fourteen candidates are announced to go to the post, and while one or two of these are likely to be scratched tomorrow, there is also the possibility of an added starter, so that the field may be the second largest In the history of the classic, 15 having run for the $60,000 World's Fair prize in 1893. The " promise tonight Is for a fairly good track. The track Is fast at present, but there is every indication of a thunder shower before morning. Whether this will be heavy enough to make the track slow Is problematical. The field that promises to go to the post, together with the betting and the jockeys, is as follows? Horse and Jockey.

Hayes, who Is at .present In liti gation with the Western Jockey Club, is owner of Lady Strathmore, and he ha's not announced who will ride her. She is regarded as a doubtful starter and it Is thought Royal Victor may be sent to the post in her stead. Jlmlnez Is also re garded as a doubtful starter. Inasmuch as he has been beaten time and again on the local tracks this Spring by cheap horses. The Parader arrived from the East late this afternoon. He made the trip most successfully, looking good and fresh after his long journey. As a re sult the opinions of the betting men have shifted toward him as the most probable winner. It has been believed the effort to send him out here only the day before the race was a mistaken policy, but he looked so well when he was led from the cars at Washington Park this evening that everybody who say him was impressed by his good appearance. Local opinion is widely divided. In fact, there never was such a diversity of opin ion, and it is pronounced on all sides a very open race. His Eminence and Bon nibert, however, have the biggest follow ing, with the Schorr stable and Terminus next. Lady Schorr today seemed to have grown quite out of her lameness of yes terday. The indications are that fully 50,000 peo ple will see the race. Mayor Harrison and Chief of Police O'Neill have both de clared there will be no open betting. It Is believed the New York system of bet ting will be followed. Race at Slieepshend Bay. NEW YORK, June 21.

Ketcham Has Made Only Three En sngrements for His Trotter. NEW YORK, June 2L The Herald says: George H. Ketcham, owner of the cham pion trotting stallion, Cresceus, 2:04. re cently talked interestingly about the great horse that is to meet The Abbott, 2:03, in a battle royal for the championship of the trotting turf at Brighton Beach, less than two months hence. "Cresceus never before pleased me as much as he does, this season," said Mr. Ketcham. "He is feeling like a fighting cock and Just wants to run away on a trot. I le,t him step his first mile below 2:29 just before I left Cleveland. It was trotted in' 2:21 with the last eighth in 14 seconds, and Cresceus -was actually going within himself at the finish. I believe his record will be 2:02 or better before the end of the season, provided he has the good luck to get a good day and track when he starts to beat the record." Mr. Ketcham says Cresceus has only three engagements to race this season, and at present there are no other engage ments in sight. These races are at Brighton Beach In August, at Boston in September and at Lexington in October. He will meet The Abbott here, Boralma and Charley Herr at Boston, and Charley Herr at Lexington. If he can win all three races his earnings for the season will foot up something like $35,000. Be tween his engagements at New York and Boston. Cresceus will probably make an attempt to beat his own record and that of The Abbott. Mr. Ketcham says he likes the Glens Falls track for such a trial of speed, but as the Grand Circuit meeting there Is scheduled for the same dates as the meeting In New York, some other course must be chosen. Although the Detroit Driving Club has offered a purse of $2503 for a free-for-all trotting race at the Grand Circuit meet ing next month, it is not probable that Cresceus will start in a race until he meets The Abbott at Brighton Beach Au gust 15. Mr. Ketcham says he will start his horse up for the contest by working him alongside a running horse. Ejected Horseman Wants Damages. CHICAGO, June 21. Edward D.

New York Sun. "Are all your arrangements made?" a woman asked recently of a friend' about to sail for Europe. "Almost," was the reply, "all but decid ing where to send FIdo. He must have air that agrees with him and the best of care. Ife really as much bother to find a boarding place for one's dog as to get a child established at school." As few hotels permit guests to bring dogs, the proprietors of boarding kennels do a good business between May and Oc tober. A well-kept Summer home for dogs provides in a substantial building a separate pen for each dog, to be occu pied at night and on stormy days; am ple grounds for exercise and a force of attendants to feed, wash and exercise the boarders. A model establishment In New Jersey, where bo&rd costs from ?5 to $9 a month, has a se'parate run for each large dog, and a large, grassy lnclosure In which the little dogs play together. Dogs that object to wire fences are chained to trees. Every morning all the larger dogs are taken by an attendant for a cross-country run. Two meals a day are served. Puppy bis cuit and the gravy of stewed meat are the staples for young dogs, dog biscuit and meat for older ones. "We don't feed all dogs, even those of the same age, alike," said the superin tendent of the kennels to a visitor. "When we find what diet a dog thrives on we give him that. Milk and other luxuries are extra. Of course, we will provide any thing for a dog that its owner will pay for, but I advise against Ice cream, cakes and candy. That's what lots of pet dogs are fed on. and they don't always take to our plain fare at first. They come around after a few days, though, and are In bet ter condition after a Summer of sensible diet than when they came. "Some people have a servant come out with goodies for the dog. "Our boarders enjoy themselves. They get more liberty here In a week than they do in a year at home. Women that cuddle and fuss over a dog are often positively cruel In keeping it without proper exer cise. A dog Is under my care now for fatty degeneration of the heart, caused by lack of exercise. Its mistress has made herself sick grieving over It "See that swimming pool by the bridge? We dammed the brook to make that for the dogs. Of course, they have their reg ular baths besides. Every dog is washed and treated antiseptlcally twice a week. The pens are cleaned daily and washed with carbolic solution once a week. "Every- dog receives a medical examina tion upon his arrival. If he has any con tagious disease he is sent to the' hospital. Slight ailments are treated ljere free of charge, but hospital treatment Is extra." "Are the dogs ever homesick?" was asked. "For the first day they are likely to be, that Is, If their owners come with them. If they are sent alone by train, or with a servant they usually don't mind. But owners, women especially, make a good deal of fuss over saying good-by, and that makes the dogs feel bad. "I never stay around at these times. I know the kind of .things a woman wants to say to her dog when she Is leaving him, and I know she doesn't want other people to hear them. Generally srte wants to cry too, so I give, her a chance tovdo the talking and the crying by herself. "When she comes to get the dog, It's dif ferent She's Just pleased to have us see how glad he Is to see her. We have a good many regular boarders that come every Summer, and now that every year more people seem to go abroad than ever be fore, there are sure to be more dogs left behind to be taken care of." FREEDOM OR SLAVERY. Great Question, as to the Future of the Chinese. Tho following Interesting letter concern ing the future of the Chinese has been received by a Portland business man from a friend now sojourning In Shanghai: SHANGHAT, China. May 3. Over here we are in the midst of world politics that is a growing and constant puzzle, and there are only a few signals that Indicate the course of events. In my opinion, the days of the Chinese Empire, as an independent nation, are finished. The days of the Chinaman, however, In world's affairs, as far as modern times are concerned, are just begun. The Chi nese, as a nation, will not cut much of a figure In the world's political manipula tion; but the Chinese people, as a factor in the political economy and Industrial forces, will become the serious problem in the world's civilization. Millions of them work fairly well and live well from their standpoint, on six gold cents per day. The quality of their lives, in housing, food, clothing and social character, from our standpoint, Is no better than the beasts in our fields. Their ignorance, su perstition and prejudices are of the very lowest order. They live In a country as rich in agricultural and mineral possi bilities as any part of the world, and In the matters of waterways and economy of transportation their country Is supe rior to any portion of the globe. In the production of population I have yet to see the race that Is their equal. They are cultivated and skilled In the arts of social grouping and peaceful social organiza tions of their type, on lines of economy that to the rest of humanity seem mar velous. The necessary cost of maintaining peace and order in their societary organism Is very cheap. Peace and Industry are the qualities of their character most easily cultivated. Work Is the natural and war the unnat ural product of their lives. They are a nation of producers and traders, wonder ful in their ability for social and com mercial organization; but totally devoid of industrial and political organizing force and direction, on modern lines. Although devoid of original conception and Inven tive genius, shrinking from serious respon sibility, they are the most constant and faithful In all kinds of industrial and mechanical work. Patient beyond measure, and honest be yond their condition, tbey are the Ideal material from which slaves are made. For centuries the masses of China have been the slaves of their officials. This Is rather a hasty and somewhat concrete statement of the social character and eco nomical condition existing In the Chinese Empire. This great mass of humanity and these economic and Industrial elements com bined are now entirely In the hands of the political forces of the various power ful nations of the world. What will become of them and what will be the effect of a solution of this ques tion upon the civilized world Is the great question of the present century. When the subject Is divested of all de tails and viewed solely from the highest peaks of intellectual civilization, it ap pears to me to resolve itself Into a prob lem of freedom or slavery. Russia and Franco are leaders on one side, with Great Britain and the United States lead ing on the other. Russia already has Manchuria practlcallyln Iter gmsp, and by secret arrangements with France they are loaning enough money 'to Corea to secure that country and are planning a railroad from Seoul to Moukden. Under the name of the "Belgian Syndicate" they are building the railroad from Pekln to Hankow, and control the concession for the railroad from Hankow to Canton. They are Investing millions of dollars in these enterprises, and are prepared to support their Investments with their armies and navies. The chief political man among the Chinese Is the close friend of Russia, and doing all in his power to force China under the yoke of Russia. There is nothing In the political organi zation of either France or Russia to pre vent them from taking China into com plete slavery. By their well-known methods of manipulating the officials of China the task will not be a difficult one, if they can guard off the interference of other nations. With the intellectual skill of the Russians and France and their po litical domination of the millions of China, held in subjection and industrial and com mercial slavery, there Is a yellow peril that will most certainly endanger the world's best civilization. China will then be to the rest of the world exactly what negro slavery was to the civilization of the United States. The low, cheap-lived people of China, handled as parts of machines In modern factories, dominated by Russian political methods, directed by scientific skill and perfect monetary organizations, would be come a perfect block In the wheels of the world's social progress. Give the Chinese people equal ability In foreigners to direct their work, equal ma chinery, equal capital, and equal commer cial skill to handle their products, coupled with equal raw material and agricultural and mineral possibilities and equal trans portatlon, and where are the people who will undertake to undersell them In the markets of the world? China, free to grow Into a higher social and industrial life, with proper opportuni ties of expansion in material and social wants, free to secure higher wages and a better life, need not become a menace to other civilizations; but if subjected to the Russian power and held In abject slavery, with all the other elements of economic production and distribution of wealth equal to the higher types of men, she will endanger the social life of the most progressive countries of the earth. The political, social and Industrial free dom of the world is essential now to the progressive" maintaining of these forces In any part of It If Great Britain and America consent at this time to the exten sion and domination of Russian influence over China they will some day be com pelled to fight for the freedom of China In order to maintain their own standard of civilization.

Only Important Reduction la Prices Was Made la Wheat Iron and Steel Lost Nothing. NEW YORK. June 2L Bradstreets to morrow will say: "The situation is one of sustained strength In some lines, and further Im provement In others. The crop situation, of course, remains the main subject of in terest, and this, on the whole, is a good one, although too much rain In the south Atlantic States, and too little In Texas, with the lack of warm weather for corn In the Northwest, have constituted ex ceptions to otherwise favorable advices. "Perhaps the most significant feature noted for some time past is that presented this week in regard to the prices of a number of leading commodities. Cotton goods, notably print cloths, bleached goods, and a number of standard products, have been advanced, and an Increase In the price of the raw material Is as much due to the better trade advices at home and abroad, as to crop damage reports from the South. Hides and leather, long threatening an advance, have at last suc ceeded in this respect, and In addition corn and oats among the cereals, lard among hog products, cheese among dairy products, and coffee and tin are all higher on the week, the only important reduction being in wheat, due mainly to liquidation of the July option, as much as to continued good crop advices. Eu ropean advices favor the Idea that the Continent of Europe will be a heavy buyer the coming cereal year. "Iron and steel lost nothing In strength as the turn of the. year approaches. Re ports of activity in pig Iron at the close of last week are confirmed, and Pitts burg advices are of sales of fully 75,000 tons of Bessemer pig, and of consid erable quantities of other Iron. Foundry pig Is reported in better call at some markets. New demand for finished mate rial Is quiet as a whole, but mill prod ucts likewise show a seasonable shrink age, and manufacturers are still eight weeks behind In their orders. Chicago re ports some good orders for steel rail In the market with $30 demanded where business has actually been consummated, an advance of $2 on the week. Pates, bars and structural material are also firmer at that market. Building hard ware Is In enormous demand the coun try over, and wire and nails are especial ly scarce. There is even a better feel ing In the Southern pig iron market. "Woolen goods trade advices are quite cheerful, and clothing manufacturers and dealers are reported quite confident as to the outlook for business. No particular change Is noted in wool prices, but there is a good volume of business at the East and leading Interior markets. "Shoe shipments continue close to the maximum, again exceeding 100,000 cases for the week, and for the season they are 132,000 cases larger than a year ago. Hides are firmer In the West and higher in the East. At Chicago leather Is active and strong, in sympathy with hides, and stocks of up per leather are reported light. Wheat, Including flour, shipments for the week aggregated 5,529,831 bushels, against 5,719,109 last week; 4,645,100 bush els In the corresponding week of 1900, 3,746,718 bushels In 1S99, and 3,799,407 bush els In 189S.

Firm Interest Rates Necessary Un til July Payments Are Made. NEW YORK, June 21. Bradstreets financial review tomorrow will say: Subsiding activity and an easing off of quotations have marked the present week in Wall street. The declines have not been severe, and there was no decided sign of liquidation. It would seem, how ever, that a number of causes combined to check speculation and to create a con servative feeling on the part of the large Interests, which have been leading the market. While there Is no fear at pres ent of stringency In the money market, 'the reduction of the New York banks' sur plus reserves to J18.000.000 last Saturday, and the shipment of some $4,500,000 gold to Germany this week, created a feeling that firmer rates of Interest are necessary and unavoidable, at least until the July In terest and dividend payments are com pleted. These payments will be the larg est on record, and, though the shifting of balances In this case Is no longer at tended by such a disturbance of the loan market as was formerly to be expected, it Is thought that some pressure may be expected, and any expansion of specula tion would not be advisable. This seems to have been the chief limitation on the activity of the market and the principal reason for the halt in its progress, though weight must also be given to the uncer tainty which still exists as to the crop outlook, reports of less favorable weather conditions In the West having had more or less Influence on the temper of the market. Another factor which Impressed the street was the modification of the sanguine views held a week ago about the probability of a big deal In connection with the St. Paul road. It now seems that the community of interest principle will be applied in the case of St. Paul and the other Western roads, but that there will be no exchange of securities at high figures and assumption of control by the Union Pacific." DUN'S REVIEW. Distribution of Merchandise Tells of Widespread Confidence. NEW YORK, June 21. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: "Increasing distribution of merchandise, particularly In the territory beyond the Ohio River, including the far Northwest, is a feature of general business condi tions, and tells of widespread prosperity and confidence. The railroads are carry ing more goods that may be classed as luxurious than ever before, and In spite of Wall street's slightly higher money market, there Is no fear on this score In any line of legitimate trade. "Crop news continues good. There Is less trouble from disagreements with la bor, and the cotton market has recovered slightly. Less Interruption through labor contfaversles at machine shops makes the Iron and steel industry more fully em ployed than In recent weeks, and for an other week there Is assurances of vigor ous activity at mills and furnaces. In many Instances, promised deliveries can. not be made before July 1, and urgent business that Is now offered cannot be undertaken. It Is also noticed that much foreign business Is available, but manu facturers refuse to make bids. On the other Hand, It is stated that quiet condi tions will soon be the rule, and fires will go out for the customary Summer over hauling. This may be the case at a few plants, although the requirements of rail roads and other known needs are such as to render any general suspension improb able. Large sales of Bessemer pig Iron report ed last week have since been denied, and foundry iron Is now the favorite, especial ly at Southern points. No alteration Is recorded in prices, aside from a moderate reduction in gray forge "No decrease is seen In shipments of boots and shoes from Boston, forward- lngs continuing far In excess of other years, but actual production of shoes Is slightly reduced, and there Is less new business offered. Quotations are shaded about 2 cents on a few goods, particu lary boots, as well as Fall deliveries, which are more quiet The more fortunate manufacturers have business to occupy shops to the end of August. "Leather reflects the decreased needs of shops, though heavy stock commands top figures owing to scarcity. The woolen goods Industry has a more encouraging aspect than at any time for many months, and a more hopeful feeling Is entertained as to the volume of new orders about to come forward. "A year ago, the trade was beginning to realize the extent of drought In Spring wheat states, and In a few days about S cents was added to the price. As the season advances, crop conditions steadily Improve, and In some states the Winter wheat Is being harvested. No severe drop In quotations Is anticipated, however, for the crop is by no means beyond danger In the Northwest, and even a yield equal to the largest estimate may be required. If the most gloomy foreign fears are real ized. Instead of raising sufficient for its own needs, France has come forward as an enormous purchaser, and other foreign nations are dependent on imports to an unusual extent. In three weeks ex ports from Atlantic ports have been 10, 410,316 bushels, against 8,S23,3S8 bushels last year, and 6,504,262 bushels In 1899. For the last week the movement from the Eastern seaboard does not show the usual gain over last year, but Pacific shipments were 950,100 bushels, against 546,435 in 1900. "Failures for the- week numbered 193 In the United States, against 174 last year, and 14 in Canada, against 15 last year." Bank Clearings. NEW YORK, June 21.

A writer In one of the current month lies undertakes to enumerate the good things which America has given to the world. He lists maple sugar, the turkey, the tomato, Indian corn, tobacco and a host of other things, but totally neglects the potato, which is in more general use than any other vegetable. And this re minds us that one of the lesser encyclo pedias gravely declares that the potato Is a native of Great Britain and that It was "brought to the American settlements from Ireland" a half truth which Is quite as reprehensible as a full falsehood. When the Spaniards penetrated Mexico they found the natives eating, as one of the chroniclers of that day quaintly said, "certain roots or bulbs which grow at the ends of stems in the ground and which are called "batata." The standard encyclo pedias note that the pot'ato is a native of South America, Mexico and other tropical American countries, and that it made its first appearance in Europe when carried there from Peru by Spanish explorers at the beginning of the 16ir.i century. It also was found In Florida and from there was carried to Virginia and thence to England by Sir John Hawkin3 in 1565. A century later we find the Royal Geographical So ciety laboring for its Introduction Into Ireland on the supposition that it would afford a certain means of forestalling famine, and a few years later It? came, from Ireland Into the settlements of New England a fact which gave rise to the encyclopedic error which we have noted. And this circuitous route from Virginia to New England shows how little there was In common between the 'rakehellles" of Virginia and their Puritan neighbors on the north. The potato Is probably dispersed more widely among the people of the earth than any other American product? with the sin gle exception of tobacco. Indian corn, now grown to be our greatest agricultural staple and one of the best llfe-sustalners known, is little used by the world at large. But tobacco, with no life-sustaining qual ities whatever. Is known In every land and cllme. Its widespread and enormous consumption Is one of the wonders of the world, for no drug, food or other substance ever came into such general use in so short a space of time Will Start a Kangaroo Ranch. An Arkansas planter Is making arrange ments to start a kangaroo ranch. The hides are valuable and the tendons muCh more so. The latter can be spilt extreme ly fine, and are the best thing known to surgeons for sewing up wounds, and espe cially for holding broken bones together. Hood's Sarsaparllla Is just the medicine to purify the blood and build up the whole system. THE PALATIAL OREGON!
