The American horses, trainers and Jock
eys wound tip the racing season at New
market In such a glorious stylo as. to
cause a general reversal of opinion on
the part of racegoers. Today no word Is
too good for the Americans. 3". Relff has
not only astonished tho English turf, but
has proved a bonanza to the bookies,
who, on the Cambridgeshire, won enorm
ous sums. Watershed, the winner of
that race, ridden hy Relft, carried
smaller, money than any outsider In the
race. It Is true that the price was re
duced from 65 to 1 against, to 25 to 1
against within 48 hours -of the race. But
few persona knew -until shortly before the
race that Watershed was to be substi
tuted Jtor Spectrum, who -was put in the
comparatively unimportant Subscription
stakes against J. R. Keene's Chacornac.
But this race was also of great Interest
to outsiders. The Sporting Times tells
the story thus:
Whltney and Keene are by no means
the beBt of friends, haying cuaxreled over
a. race In America. Whitney now goes for
Keene whenever he meets him, and with
Xeene running a horse. Whitney la there
to oppose him. The Subscription stakes
is a sweepstakes of 200 guineas each, for
which you make & nomination and name
a horse at the last moment. In the pres
ent case, when Whitney's agent saw
Keene was taking a nomination, the fol
lowing message was sent to Keene's
agent:
"'If you -will nominate Cap and Bells
we will nominate Volodyovskl.
"The challenge was declined. A match
between the winners of tho Derby and
the Oaks would have been food for con
versation for years. In the result It waB
left to the understudies of the celebrities
Spectrum and Chacornac"
The same paper Jnttmated that Mr
Whltney and Huggins may return to the
English turf, saying:
'It Is by no means impossible that,
in the course of a few weeks, Huggins
will return in charge of more of Mr.
Whitney's horses. Mr. Whitney keeps
Heath House and his lease of Lady
Meux's and Major "Loders horses will
be allowed to run Its course."
William K. Vanderbllt has come over
from Paris, accompanied by his Jockey,
Buchanan A fellow traveler from. Paris,
describing the millionaire's party, said
Buchanan wore a diamond that made
even Mr. Vanderbllt blink. Mr. Vander
bllt Is much interested in August Bel
mont's endeavors to establish reciprocal
relations between the English, French
and New York Jockey clubs.
The exact terms In which General Bul
ler, who continues to monopolize conver
sation in England, advised General White
to surrender Ladysmlth, are not yet pub.
llshcd, nor are they ligely to be In the
near future. The National Review's ver
sion of tho message, while correct In sub
stance, is incorrect textually. The War
Office is blamed for allowing a libel to be
circuited on the man It has already so
severely disciplned. '
Lord Raglan, the Under Secretary of
War, pointed out to a- representative of
the Associated Press that It would be
eminently unfair to publish this one dis
patch without publishing others which are
vital to an understanding of tho. one on
which the national controversy hinges. To
publish the hundreds of messages now on
file at the War Office directly bearing on
the subject, means revealing to the pub
lic secrets never intended to be made
known and the Implication of persons who
have so far escaped any odium. It is
probable that the War Office will take
absolutely no action In tho matter until
Parliament reassembles, when an official
will be ready to answer the request which
is sure to be made.
When such serious and ultra respectable
papers as the London Times and Lancet
deem it advisable to display announce
ments that King Edward Is not 111, it can
be reasonably deducted that a very gen
eral Impression to the opposite prevails
among those upper classes by which these
papers are read.
There Is reason to believe that the King
was suffering within the last few days
from an ulcerated throat, which those
closely attached to him, especially the
women of his own family, feared must be
the forerunner of cancer. According to
the pronouncements of the doctors, their
fears are unfounded. Rut King Edward
is prohibited from smoking, and is for
bidden the use of any alcoholics. Whether
the physicians are concealing the truth,
even from the royal patient and his fam
ily. Is a secret history alone can. reveal,
but it is evident from the King's public,
appearance that there Is nothing very
imminently dangerous in his condition.
The marriage of Herbert Gladstone to
Dorothy Paget, a daughter of Sir Richard
Horner Paget, Bart., took place today at
St Andrew's Xhurch. The function,
whioh was one of widespread social in
terest, was largely attended. At the re
caption at Lady Paget's house, after the
ceremony, the guests viewed the unique
and costly presents, which numbered over
00, and Included a silver inkstand from
King Edward VIL
DUKJB ARRIVES IN LONDON.
End of His Lone Tour of the British
Colonies.
LONDON, Nov. 2.-The cheers that
greeted the Duke and Duchess of Corn
wall and York today as they passed on
their return from the tour of the world
through the crowded streets of London
were Intermingled with the shrill cries of
the newsboys, shouting: "Terrible disas
ter in South Africa!" Beneath the Jubila
tion on the Eafe arrival of the heir ap
parent there existed a keen undercurrent
of grief and anger over tho defeat of
Colonel Benson's column. Of the thou
sands who lined the route from Victoria
Station to Marlborough House many were
personally concerned . fn the 216 British
casualties Incurred in this latest reverse,
and while the Duke and Duchess were
welcomed back with great heartiness, the
mocking, contrasts between the -pageant
and the seriousness ofVtbnews fba
morning. Barring-this' unfortunate coincU
dence fthe ceremonies passed "off Jexcel
lehtly. ' r f "j
' The jKlng 'andhls reunited famlljsbade
farewell to Portsmouth to"the strains of
the naval bands. All the ships In the.
harbor were gaily dressed. The royal
train arrived at Victoria Railroad station
at 12:56 P. M. Immense crowds at onco
gathered there to welcome the royal
party. Brilliancy was given to the scene
by the gay unlfdrm of the Coldstream
Guards, who, with scores of policemen,
.guarded the depqt. All the way to Marl
borough Houso the route Was well lined.
Colonial colors were particularly notice-
able, while the Stars and Stripes and the
Danish flag were Also frequently seen.
There were 4000 troops on duty. .
At Victoria station the Colonial agents
presented ttn address to the Duke or
Cornwall and York, who replied In much
tho same terms as he used earlier In
the day at Portsmouth, when he dilated on
the enjoyment he had derived from his
trip and his gladness at seeing his na
tive land again after his deeply interest
ing Journey. At every point he had been
profoundly Impressed by the universal
declaration of loyalty to the throne.
Tho Agents-General of the colonies also
presented an address to the King, who
handed them a. written reply, which was
as follows:
"I thank you for your loyal and duti
ful address on the return of my be
loved son and daughter-in-law from their
visit to the portions of my realm of which
you are representatives. It was not with
out natural anxiety and hesitation that 1
sanctioned the departure of the heir ap
parent to my throne on a voyage which
Involved many months of separatldn, but
It was my earnest desire to give effect
to the wishes of the late revered mother
and the aspirations of my loyal subjects
In the colonies, of whose devotion and
patriotism I have received such signal
proof In the splendid service they have
rendered to the -empire in South Africa,
and I am fully repaid by the complete suc
cess which attended the visit and by the
manifestations of devotion, and loyalty
which the presence of the Duke and Duch
ess everywhere evoked."
The procession occupied less than half
an hour In traversing the short route.
The members of tho royal family and their
suites were In open carriages. The King
wore a field marshal's uniform, and the
Duke of Cornwall and York wore a
uniform of a Rear-Admiral, and Prince
Edward of York was dressed in sailor
clothes. They occupied the first carriage;.
The Queen, the Duchess of Cornwall and.
York and the Princess Victoria and
Charles of Denmark were in the second
carriage. The household cavalry finished
tho escort.
The one discordant cote in the general
rejoicing over the return of the Duke
and Duchess of Cornwall and York was
the mixed greeting accorded Lord Rob
erts after the official reception of the
Duke and Duchess. Lord Roberts had
been cheered In tho company of other offi
cers earlier In the day, but. while he was
returning from St. James' Palace alone
in his carriage, much hooting -was heard
from the sidewalks, indicating that Bul-
ler's ghost is by no means completely
laid out f
SULTAN BACKS DOWN.
Sending of French Fleet to Turkey
.Has Had Effect
PARIS, Nov. 2. Tho .dispatch of, Ad"
xnlral Calilardjs squadron: from Toulon to
Turkish wators has already had. its ufict.
the French; 'Foreign Office today received
a telegram, from M. Bapst .counselor of
the French Legation at Constantinople,
announcing that the Sultan yesterday sent
him a message accepting all tho French
claims, including the Lorehdo claim. Tho
Porte also telegraphed to the French Min
ister of Foreign Affairs, M. Delcasser in
forming him that the Lorendo claim had
been settled and that the Sultan had
signed an lrade accepting the figure fixed
by France for the payment of the claim.
M. Delcasse proceeded to the Elysee Pal
ace of the Ministry or the Interior and
consulted, with President Loubet, tha
Premier, M. Waldeck-Rousseau, and the
Minister of Marine, M. Delanessan. He
also had a later conference with M. Waldeck-Rousseau.
The French Government
will also demand an understanding that
Turkey will not renew the recent inter
ference with tho diplomatic mall bags.
LASTING EFFECT ON TURKEY.
Other Fleets Than France's May Go
to the Levant.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2. The Vienna cor
respondent of the London Times and the
New York Times, says the prospect of a
French naval demonstration in Turkish
waters Is not contemplated with indiffer
ence in the Austrian capital, but it is be
lieved that Turkey will yield. It is
thought possible that the British squad
ron now at Malta will bo ordered to Turk
ish waters. Tho Vienna Tagcblatt says
the appearance of Western Europe war
ships will have a lasting effect on the
Turkish population. Ono spark would suf
fice to blow up the Turkish powder maga
zine. NEW YORK, Nov. 2. Commenting uponc
the departure of the French fieet for the
Levant, the Parte correspondent of the
London Times and the New York Times
says: "The French opposition is now
menacing the government because it sent
out the squadron to the Levant -without
the permission of the Parliament" The
correspondent .remarks that it is folly to
expect that the French Government
would deliberately Inform another gov
ernment in advance of its, intention to sup
port the arguments of diplomacy by force
of arms. A great majority of imperial
Frenchmen support the actloh of the au
thorities. In fact, the invasion of the
brilliant and strange world of tho Orient
by a French fleet fires the popular imag
ination and relieves the monotony of
events by which France has been serious
ly bored.
Italian Fleet Also Sails.
LONDON, Nov. 2, A dispatch to a news
agency from Rome says that the second
division of the Italian Mediterranean
squadron has started for Turkey with the
object it is sold, of counterbalancing the
French naval demonstration.

Forerunner of Vigorous Campaign.
BRUSSELS, Nov. Z Boers here Jn close
touch with South Africa declare that the
recent disaster to Colonel Benson's col
umn was the forerunner of a vigorous
campaign, the season being favorable for

severe blows against isolated British col
umns. Commandant-General Groebeler,
who, it is "believed, participated Jn the
Bethel fight, Is considered a second De
larey. Reports More Casualties.

WASHINGTON, Sov. 2. Tho Chinese

Kaiser Suggests to Hold America In
Check.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2-M. Pierre dc
Sigur gives a highly interesting account
in the current number of the Revue de
Paris of the reception given by the Kaiser
on board the Hohenzollern to a party qf
French tourists at Odde, says the Her
ald's Paris correspondent. "His conversa
tion with us," writes M. Do Segur. "was
Chiefly about America. To him there is
a menace for the future in the colossal
trusts, so dear to the Yankee millionaire,
which tends to juace an Industry or an
international exchange in the hands of
a single individual pr group of individ
uals. " 'Suppose he said In substance, 'that
a Morgan succeeds in combining under his
flac several of the ocean lines. He docs
not ocpupy any official position in his
country outside of tho influence derived
from this wealth. It would therefore be
Impossible to treat with him if it should
happen that an International incident or
a foreign power were involved in his; en
terprises and neither would it be possible
to have recourse to the state, which, hav
ing no part in the business, could de
cline any responsibility. Then to whom
could -we turn?'
"In order to obviate this danger, the
Kaiser foresees the necessity of forming
a European customs union against the
United States on similar lines to the Con
tinent blockade devised by Napoleon
against England in order to safeguard
the Interests and assure tho freedom of
Continental commerce at the expenso of
America's developments, and he declared
to us without circumlocution that in such
an eventuality England would "bo forced
to choose &n alternative of absolutely op
posite policies either to adhere to the
blockade and place herself on the side
of Europe against the United States, or
else to join the latter against the powers
of the Continent"

to
the Herald from London saya:
The Dally Mail gives an account of the
birth of the Aero Club, which will devote
itself to ballooning. As the balloon of
the future promises to become an auto
mobile, it is not strange that the Aero
Club should be the offspring pf the well
known Automobile Club, which will Im
mediately acquire tho balloons of one or
moro expert aeronauts. Thus equipped
its members will hold races in mid-air and
other contests.
M. Santos-Ditnont is to be an honorary
member an! the Hon. John Scott-Montague,
the Hon. I. S. Rolls, Sir David
Salomon, Colonel Templer, R. 3., Mr.
Paris Singer, the Rev. J. M. Bacon and

tioned as supporters.
"If tho success of the movement In
France may be an augury," Bald a well

ot, Pan-Auserlcan Conference.
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 2.-A1 this morn
ing's meeting of the Pan-American Con
gress;, General Rafael Reyes", delegate of
Colombia, in a. speech full of -praise for
the. United States, proposed that 1L C.
Davis, chairman of the United 1-tates
delegation, he elected permanent presi
dent of tho Pan-American confecjnee.
Gcenral Reyes made a speech praising
tno united states. Mr. Davis thanked
the delegates hnd declined the office. Pro
vlslortal President Ralgos, chairman of
the Mexican delegation, as elected prcsl-.
dent pf the Pan-American Congress; Du
rate Perelraof Brazil, was elected first
vlceVpreaident, and Balletzar Esturplnian,
of Salvador, second vice-president Senor
Carbo, of .Ecuador, proposed naming Sec
retary Hay as an additional honorary
president, which action was unanimously
taken.
Delegate Gil Fortouf, of Venezuela, said
he had received no word that President
Castro, of Venezuela, had replied to the
resolution of the conference with re
spect to avoidance of war between his
country and Colombia, and he asked the
president of the conference If a' "reply
had been received from Colombia. Presi
dent Ralgos replied that'the reply of tho
President of Venezuela had been received
by the Foreign Office ot Mexico, but up
to the present moment, neither the For
eign Office nor he, as president of tho
conference, had received any reply from
Colombia. Gil Fortout said he thought
diplomatic usage demanded xhat no offi
cial report of the reply of Venezuela be
made until the reply of Colombia should
be received. He, therefore, asked tho
chair to withhold the reply of Venezuela
until Columbia should bo heard from.
General Reyes, of Colombia, said he
believed the resaon for the delay In the
receipt of a message from the Govern
ment of Colombia was due to an inter
ruption of the telegraph nes. Which
passed through a rough country. HO -was
quite certain that no discourtesy was- in
tended. President Raigos said he would
act in accordance with tha representa
tion of Gil Fortout as being In conform
ity with diplomatic usage, but If tha con
ference wishes otherwise, he would have
to bow to its wishes. The conf eren e de
clared it did not wish to run counter to
the request of Gil Fortout It is authori
tatively rumored that Venezuela's reply
to the peace message of tho conference
is rather embarrassing, being aggressive
ly self-assertive.

"For weeks I hacfa most distressing cold contracted late

I took the matter In hand In Its early stage, still my cold kept

Diseases ot Winter, Coughs, Colds

Peruna cures catarrh, coughs, colds, is
well known to both tho medical profes

doubtedly the most popular remedy for
this class of diseases In existence. Read

SAYS CANAL WILL FAIL
CARNEGIE NOT A BELIEVER IN THE
NICARAGUA WATERWAY.
Refused to Discuss New York Poll,
tics His Opinion of the Reci
procity Question,
NEW YORK, Nov. 2. Mr. and Mrs. An
drew Carneglo were pasaengors upon the
St. Louis, reaching her dock late this af
ternoon. 31r. Carnegie refused to discuss
New York politics, saying ie was no parti
san. He wad questioned with regard to
tho proposed technical school at Pitts
burg and said he had received a report
upon the subject, and when asked. If It
was true that the committee had asked
for ?5,000,O00, his reply was?
"The committee is incapable of asking
for money. The report was truly Ameri
can and wot thy of Pittsburg,"
Questioned concerning the steel equa
tion, Mr. Carnegie laughingly said: "I am
out of business; I have reformed." Then
he added:
"I have heard something of the forming
of an English steel trust. The English
aro not inclined to combine. It has been
paid that every Englishman la an Island
by himself"
"Have you any views upon the subject
of the Isthmian Canal?" was the next
question put to him.
"I do not believe In a canal at all. 1
do not believe a canal will render the
service for the transportation of goods
that a llrst-class two-track railroad would
do. Freight could be unloaded Into 50
ton cars and loaded upon the other side
at a much less cost than running even
10,000-ton ships, even If you had to pay no
tolls. I do not believe the Nicaragua
Canal can bo built. I don't believe that
that canal can be worked, even If It is
built The Panama Canal can be made
workablo. There Is more sentiment be
hind the canal than good sense."
The subject of reciprocity .-was mentioned
and Mr. Carnegie said:
"Reciprocity is a. very fine word to
speak, but when you come to arrange de
tails it Is a most difficult policy. You
can airango reciprocity with one country,
but that country favors you at the ex
pense of all Others. The best policy la to
reduce protection duties. Washington's
policy was the best: 'Friends of all, al
lies of none. "
Lord Paunccfote, the British Ambassa
dor, after amabsence of two months, also
returned on the St. Louis. He is hasten
ing to Washington, and It Is said that he
will at once confer with Secretary Hay
regarding the Isthmian Canal.

CLAIM AGAINST MEXICO.
Catholic Church Presents a Bill of
Over $1,000,000,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. The Rev.
Archbishop RIordan, of San Francisco,
has come to Washington and with Arch
bishop Ireland has called upon the Presi
dent. It Is understood that one of the
purposes of his visit is to induce the Gov
ernment to renew its efforts' to secure
the payment by the Mexican Government
to the Catholic Church of California of
more than $1,000,000 due to the churoh on
account of what Is known as the pious
fund. Before the acquisition of Upper
California by the "United Statea the Cath
olic churches of Upper and Lower Cali
fornia had on deposit Mexican Govern
ment money and property aggregating a
very large total, upon which the Mexi
can Government was obliged to pay the
churches a certain annual Interest. The
Interest payments ceased" after the Mex
ican War, but after the lapse of 20-years
a claim In behalf of the church of unpaid
lntorest came beforo the Meiican Claims
Commission, which allowed the claim. But
since that date, although the award was
paid by tho Mexican Government, there
have been no further payments of Inter
est, and the present purpose Is to press
for a .settlement of this Interest account.
The Mexican Government has not shown
any disposition to avoid a settlement, but
bases Its failure so far to pay Interest
on the broad ground that the award by
the Mexican Claims Commission to the
claimants of a sum nearly aggregating
$100,000 acted legally a3 a settlement In
full.
