BROOKLTN HANDICAP.
Won toy Kcene'a Conroy, Herbert
Second, Standing Third
NEW YORK, May 25 James R. Keene's
anrov. the first 3-year-old to win a J
Brooklyn handicap, cantered home a win
ner, at- the Gravesend race track today,
with odds of 4 to I against him. Herbert
finished second, with Standing In third
position. The favorite, Banastar, was
away back in the ruck, unable to get up
his speed in the heavy going. A more
disagreeable day for the Brooklyn handi
cap could not have been Imagined. The
big event was pulled off in a driving rain.
In spite of the threatening weather there
was a big crowd at the track, fully 15,000
people watching the struggle in the rain.
At 4:15 o'clock, when the "bugle called
the handicap horses to the post, the track
was like a quagmire. ' Banastar was a
consistent favorite all the time, with
Conroy second choice, and Sydney Lucas,
Herbert and Rafaello well backed.
On the sixth attempt, the horses got
off In good style. Banastar was first to
show, -with Herbert and Raffaello next
In line, and Conroy close up. Around the
turn they rushed. They had gone but a
few strides, when 0Connor sent the
3-year-old Conroy to the front, and he
came with 6uch a. rush that he was two
open lengths to the good as he passed
the Judges' stand for the first time. Ban
astar was In second place, Herbert and
Standing lapping him. "Without slacken
ing speed in the least, and with the mud
flying, they scampered around the lower
turn, Conroy holding his advantage.
Banastar had been passed by Herbert
and Standing, and was half a length be
hind them.
Coming Into the back stretch. Smith sent
Herbert after Conroy, and foot by foot
he began to cut down the lead of the
3-year-old. Standing and Banastar began
to close up, too, and as the upper turn
was reached, It looked as If the young
ster already had his measure taken.
O'Connor, however, was on the alert, and
still had a good hold on Keene's horse.
The leaders rushed Into the turn. Just
for one Instant did Banastar show a flash
of the speed which he exhibited in the
Brooklyn handicap of two years ago only
the conditions were so different but it
did not last, and he began to drop back.
Herbert, by this time, was on even terms
with Conroy, and Standing was but a
length away, and they were turning Into
the stretch for the final rush.
O'Connor, on Conroy, then crouched low
on his mount and went to work. Conroy
gamely responded to the jockey's" appeal,
and In a few jumps left Herbert as If he
were standing still. In the twinkling of
an eye he was a couple of lengths In front
and In a few bounds more, as far as the
rest were concerned, the contest was
over, for struggle as they might, they
never could catch Conroy, and the lat
ter, pulling up strongly, cantered past
the judges' stand the easiest kind of a
winner by a length and a half from Her
bert, who was twice that distance in
front of Standing, and the others badly
beaten. The cheering at the conclusion
of the race was tremendous. The sum

Tale of the Great Mutiny.
Cornhlll.
"Wllberforce tells a tale which graphical
ly Illustrates the wild adventures of those
wild days. Early one morning he was on
picket duty outside Delhi, and In the gray
dawp saw two men and a boy hurrying
along the road from the city. They were
evidently fugitives, and, telling his men
not to fire on them, "Wllberforce went
forward to meet them. "When the group
came up the boy ran forward, threw his
arms around "Wllberforce's neck, and,
with an exclamation In English, kissed
him. Thp "boy" -nas a woman named
Mrs. Leeson, .the sole survivor of the
Delhi massacre. She had been concealed
for more than three months by a friendly
native and had at last escaped disguised
as an Afghan boy.
"When the mutiny broke out she, with
some other ladles and a few Englishmen,
took refuge In a cellar and for nearly
three days maintained a desperate defense
against the crowds attacking them. The
hero of the defense was a Baptist mission
ary, a former shipmate of "Wllberforce's.
"a very tall and powerful man, with a
bloodless face, gray eyes, a broad jaw and
determined mouth." One by one the men
holding the cellar fell. Food failed, the
ammunultlon was exhausted, and at last,
behind the bodies of the fallen, piled up as
a breastwork, stood only the brave mis
sionary, with nothing but his sword to
protect the crouching women and children.
"Stripped to the waist, behind the ghastly
rampart of the dead, the hero stood; and
for hours this Horatius held his own. At
last he fell, shot through the heart, and
the bloodthirsty devils poured In." Irs.
Leeson was covered by some of the dead
bodies and so escapetl the doom, of the
other ladles, and at night crept out of
that pit of the dead. She wandered
through the datk streets, the only living
Englishwoman In the great city, and saw,
hanging up on the trees In the dusk, the
headless trunks of white children and the
mutilated, bodies of Englishwomen. By
haDDy chance the met a pitying native.
who concealed her until she escaped In
the fashion described, with more or less
Imagination, by Wllherforce. 1
HARVARD THE VICTOR
WOJf THE CHAMPIONSHIP COP ON
BERKELEY OVA!..
Wretched Weather Nearly RalHed
the Sport Cornell Won Her
First Prises.
NEW YORK, May 25. The annual track
and fleld championship of the intercolle
giate association of the Amateur Athletic
Association of America was concluded to
day at Berkeley Oval. Wretched weather
literally ruined what promised to be the
most eventful meeting In the history of
the organization, and instead of a crop of
new records, the crowd which braved rain
and wind had to be content with a series
of mediocre performances. About 1500 peo
ple of both sexes tried to infuse enthu
siasm Into the mud-bespattered athletes,
who. In spite of the muck and mire, re
sponded gamely.
As anticipated, the battle for the cham
pionship cup was fought out to the bitter
end, ana" when the final reckoning came,
the anxious boys from New Haven saw
with dismay Harvard the victor by the
splendid score of 4 points. To the surprise'
of the spectators, Cornell took fourth
place, with 15 well-earned points. It is
the first time in her many years of com
petition at the Mott Haven games that
the Ithaca institution has scored a first,
and when Gallagher trotted home in the
two-mile run and Sears outran all com
petitors In the 220-yard, not a man on
the grounds begrudged her two first
prizes. The University of Pennsylvania
Is relegated to seventh place, after having
held the championship for the past four
years. Harvard had not won the cham
pionship since 1S92. On the basis of five
points for first, three points for 6econd,
two "points for third, and one point for
fourth, the following table shows the
score:

When Ambassadors Clashed.
Gentleman's Magazine.
One of the chief duties of the Master of
the Ceremonies at the English Court in
the 17th century was to prevent a clash
between the Ambassadors of different na
tions. If two Ambassadors had an audi
ence on the same day, the most elaborate
precautions were taken. It happened once,
says Sir John Flnett. that "the two Span
ish Ambassadors were assigned an audi
ence for two of the clock, and the States
at Foure; when, to prevent their encoun
ters, the Spanish were Introduced by Sir
Lewis Leukner through the Parke and
Privy Galleries to the" King In his with
drawing chamber, where they had a lowd
and long expostulating audlen.ee, and I In
the meantime (as I had directions) re
ceived the other Ambassadors of the
States at the Court Gate, and conducting
them to the Council Chamber on the late
Queen's side they were (immediately upon
the Spanish departure) called to the King's
Presence in the same place, and making
their entry by the other end of the Privy
Galleries, they had a faire audience, re
turning (as the other did) by the way of
their entrance."
But this was nothing to the trouble In
volved in disposing of the Ambassadors at
a public festivity. "When the Master of
Ceremonies brought the invitation, the
Ambassadors, Instead of replying civilly,
would ask who else had been invited, and
what places had been allotted to them,
and then perhaps' in the end give a condi
tional and grudging acceptance. At the
marriage of the Princess Elizabeth with
the Elector Palatine, the French and Ve
netian Ambassadors demanded chairs, al
though the Prince of "Wales himself was
only provided with a stool. Chairs were
not in general use at that period. Benches
and stools were thought sufficient, as a
rule, for every one except Kings and
Queens. Then the Lord Chamberlain, in
trying to seat the ladles, threw the whole
arrangements into disorder. He ventured
to place the wife of the French Ambassa
dor next the Countesses and above the
Baronesses. This was the signal for dis
turbance. The Home of Invention.

TESTFORYOURSELF
The Wonderful Curative Properties of Swamp-Root,
the Great Kidney and Bladder Remedy.
To Prove What Swamp-Root Will Do for YOU, Every
Reader of The Oregonian May Have a Sample
Bottle Sent Free by Mall.
It used to be considered that only uri
nary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys, 'but now modern
science proves that nearly all diseases
have their beginning in the disorder of
these most Important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the blood;
that is their work.
Therefore when your 'kidneys are weak
or out of order, you ean understand how
quickly your entire body Is affected, and
how every organ seems to fall to do Us
duty.
If you are sick or "feel badly," begin
taking the famous new discovery, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are Well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
Aiponp the many famous cures of Swamp
Root im estimated by The Oregonian the one
which we publish this week for the benefit of
our readers speaks in the highest terms of the
wonderful curative properties or this great
remedy, ilr. Robert Berner. 14 West 117th
St., New York City, writes: "I had been suf
fering seerely from kidney trouble. All symp
tom"; were on hand; my fornier strength and
power had left me; I could hardly drag my
self along. Even my mental capacity was
giving out, and often I wished to die. It was
then I Faw an advertisement of yqurs in a
New York paper, but would not have paid any
attention to it, had it not promised a sworn
guarantee with every bottle of your medicine,
orserting that your Swamp-Root is purely veg
etable, and does not contain any harmful
drugs I am seventy years and four months
old, and with a good conscience I can recom
mend Swamp-Root to all sufferers from kil
ney troubles. Four members ot my family
have been using Swamp-Root for four different
kidney diseases, with the same good results."
Truly yours, ROBERT BERNER.
"Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re
sponsible for many kinds of diseases, and
if permitted to continue much suffering
with fatal results are sure to follow.
Kidney trouble Irritates the nerves, makes
you dizzy, restless, sleepless and Irritable.
Makes you pass water often during tha
day and obliges you to get up many
times during the night. Unhealthy kid
neys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh
of the bladder, pain or dull ache In the
back, joints and muscles; makes your
head ache and back ache, causes indi
gestion, stomach and liver trouble; you
get a sallow, yellow complexion, makes
you feel as though you had heart trouble;
you may have plenty of ambition, but
no strength; get weak and waste away. (Swamp-Root is pleasant to take.)
In taking Swamp-Hoot you afford naturai help to Nature, for Swamp-Root Is
the most perfect healer and gentle aid t0 tne kidneys that is known to medical
science. ,
Many women suffer untold misery because the nature of their disease is not
correctly understood; in most cases they are ie(j to believe that womb trouble or
female weakness of- some sort Is responsible for their many Ills, when In fact dis
ordered kidneys are the chief cause of their distrp&sing troubles.
If there is" any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urine
on rising about four ounces, place It in a giass or bottle and let It stand twenty
four hours. If, on examination, it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brick-dust set
tling, or If small particles float about In it, your kidneys are in need of immediate
attention.
If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need, you can pur
chase the regular fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles at the drug stores every
where EDITORIAL. NOTE Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder remedy,
is so remarkably successful that a special arrangement has been made by which
all readers of The Oregonian, who haVa not already tried it, may
have a sample battle sent absolutely free by mall. Also a book telling all about
kidney and bladder troubles and containing many of the thousands upon thou
sands of testimonial letters received from men and women cured by Swamp-Root.

OUR BALANCE OF TRADE
TREASURY DEPARTMENT TELLS
WHY IT EXISTS.
Indications Are That In a Few Years
More Bullion "Will Be Reanlred
In Making Settlements.
"WASHINGTON, May 20. "What has
caused so much produce, merchandise
and specie of the United States to go out
of the country without the ordinary cor
responding return?" is a question recent
ly propounded to the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics by Dadabahai Naorojl, an In
dian gentleman residing in London.
Mr. Naoroji, in his Inquiry addressed to
the Bureau of Statistics, quotes the re
cent figures showing a large excess of
exports of merchandise and specie over
the net Imports of merchandise and spe
cie, and says: "In India a heavy net
excess always takes place because the
system of government of India compels a
heavy tribute, i. e compels a large drain
of the produce of India to England with
out any material return of merchandise
or specie. But America is not under such
a draining system of an alien foreign
government; and I therefore desire to
know the causes, and their extents, of
such heavy net excess of exports of
America's wealth or produce, and how
this large 'balance of trade' is expected
to be settled."
The following is an extract from the
reply of the chief of the Bureau of Sta
tistics: "During the period Immediately follow
ing our Civil War, great internal devel
opment of our railways and manufactur
ing occurred. Much foreign capital was
brought Into the United States for use
In this development, and during that time
and in subsequent yearat. railroad and
other securities were largely marketed
abroad. The commercial result of this
development of railways and manufac
turing establishments, Including the open
ing of new fields of production, was an
enormous increase In the exportatlone and
a disposition to relatively decrease the
importations, because the development of
manufacturing was making It practicable
to produce at home from our own mate
rials much which was formerly brought
in from abroad. Thus, the great business
development of the years 1870 to 1SS0 had
a tendency to stimulate production and
exportation, but discouraged Importation,
and, as a consequence, exports exceeded
Imports in a constantly Increasing ratio.
The fact, however, that large sums had
been borrowed abroad, for the Internal de
velopments heretofore alluded to, required
oavments of large sums for the annual
Interest charges, and thus reabsorbed
a part of the proceeds of the sur
plus exports. The earnings of foreign
capital Invested in great enterprise in
this country, other than that obtained by
the sale of bonds or by direct loans, also
require considerable sums for the pay
ment of the dividends and profits of the
enterprises in which It was invested. The
further fact that Internal commerce and
investments In Internal developments
were extremely profitable reduced and
temporarily suspended shipbuilding In the
United States, and, as a consequence, the
Increasing traffic came to be carried more
and more in foreign ehlps, and the pay
ment of the freights thereon, especially
the .freights upon Imports, again absorbed
.a large additional aniount of the proceeds
of the excess of exports.
"Another factor to be considered Is that
of the money expended by Americans
traveling abroad who usually take their
funds In the form of letters of credit, and
draw from time to time for euch sums as
they require, and this, of course, proves
an offset to that extent against the bal
ance which would otherwise be -returned

''Until recently these four great fac
tors, first, the payment of Interest on
American securities held abroad; second,
the payment of earnings of foreign cap
ital Invested In business enterprises In
the United States; third, the payment of
foreign freights carried in foreign ves
sels, especially freights on goods Import
ed Into the United States, and fourth,
the expenditures of Americans traveling
abroad, have been considered the chief
cause of the fact that the exports of
merchandise so much exceeded the 'com
bined Imports of merchandise, specie and
bullion. Within the last two or three
years, however, three further factors have
apparently been added First, the cancel
lation of American indebtedness abroad,
Including a return to the United States
of the railroad and other securities thus
held; second, the sale of foreign secur
ities In the United States, such as the
German, British and Russian securities,
which were placed upon the markets here
during the last year, and in most cases
quickly taken to the amount of probably
$100,000,000 in the year; and third, the
credits which now stand abroad in favor
of our exporters, and which are permitted
to so stand because better interest rates
could be realized than bv insisting upon
their immediate payment.
The sums of money represented by
these various factors which presumably
about equal the excess of exports over im
ports, have been variously estimated, and,
up to the present time, no means of
obtaining more than estimates have been
devised. These estimates usually put. the
amount paid to foreign vessels as freights
on imports at about $50,000,000; Interest
on and earnings of foreign capital, $75,000,
000 to $100,000,000; money expended abroad
by Americans, $75,000,000 to $100,000,000;
American funds Invested in foreign se
curities In 1900, about $100,000,000, and
credits permitted to stand abroad in 1S99
and1900, each $75,000,000 to $100,000,000, to
which must be added the amount of our
foreign indebtedness actually cancelled by
the return of securities for which no
definite estimate has, so far as I am
aware, been made.
"The United States is rapidly incrtasing
her production, especially of the miner
als and of manufactures for transporta
tion, while the rapid development of our
manufacturing Industries steadily re
duces the relative importations of manu
factured goods, though the raw materials
required for our manufactures, especially
those of a tropical and sub-tropical na
ture, which we cannot produce at home,
are constantly increasing, as are also the
tropical foodstuffs of which we do not
produce a sufficient quantity to meet our
own requirements. The fact that we are
rapidly becoming a creditor Instead of a
debtor Nation will reduce to a minimum
and wipe out the annual balance for pay
ment of interest on our securities held
abroad, and finally for the liquidation of
those securities, and to this extent the
absorption of our favorable balance of
trade will be rapidly reduced. While the
present disposition to encourage the re
establlshment of our shipping Industry in
a sufficient volume to carry our growing
commerce seems to justify the expecta
tion that this drain upon our surplus
may be at least somewhat reduced In the
near future, our foreign credits, as here
tofore alluded to, have increased largely
during the last few years, and foreign
obligations have been taken by Investors
in the United States in large sums; but
it seems at least probable that two of
the factors which absorbed a consider
able share of the favorable balance viz.,
the payment of Interest and indebtedness
abroad, and payment of freights to for
eign vessels will within a comparatively
short time be materially reduced, and
thus require a settlement with specie and
bullion of a larger proportion of the
trade balance than has been the case in
former years."

ficers, a foreign garrison. The Poles de
cline to take part in anything that recog
nizes German rule. They do not enter
the civil service, or ask for commissions
in the Prussian army, though they must
of course serve their time. Those numer
ous gentlemen whose names end In "W,"
who figure In the German bureaucracy,
and seem to give It a Polish coloring, are
one and all thoroughly denationalized
Poles, who have become to all Intents and
purposes Germans, and are accordingly
repudiated by the Poles. Not to obscure
their "noble" descent, they have not cast
their "kl," as Count Radollnskl did, and
could do with Impunity, when he was
raised to princely rank and called himself
from thenceforth "Radolln." But the
Posadowskys, Podblelskls, Malachowskls.
etc, have all long since become thorough
Germans, as the turncoat Josephus be
came a Roman. On the other hand. It
may be noticed that on the Polish side
German names are not Infrequent. But
that Is only because Germans settling In
Poland and Intermarrying, as a matter
of course, become fathers of Polish fam
ilies. It Is the mother who determines
the nationality of the offspring. You
may see this process of Polonlzatlon in
progress at'the presentday on the fringes
of the new German colonies. The clan
