Minn. He wiirbe taken to Minne

London, June 5. Tho Tammany,
or Boss Croker's derby, as tho 1907
race will henceforth be known,
proved In many ways a disappoint
ment to tho enormous crowd that
gathered at Epsom Downs to wit
ness the sporting event of the year.
Croker by winning the historic event
with his chestnut colt Orby in fine
style, gained little of the good will
of the British racing public, but has
attained the ambition of every sports
man who conies upon tho British
turf, and of having carried out a de
termination mndo a few days ago,
when the Jockey Club excluded his
horses from Newmarket without as
signing any reason, of one day win
ning a derby. On tho other hand,
the British racing public who wag
ered a lot of money on tho beaten
favorite Sieur Galllen, and who
would have liked to see tho blue rib
bon carried off by a titled or aristo
cratic sportsman, was keenly disappointed.

Secretary of the commission officer
Skully, were incidents at the first

for extortion. Skully will resume

ords. He will bo followed by Rea
gan, who will complete hl3 testimony,
and then be turned over to the de
fense for cross-examination. No
night sessions of the Schniitz -trial
will be had. It Is expected the trial
will take up not leas and probably
more than two weeks.

HARRIHAN'S-
CASE
Tunis, June 5. A Turkish sailing
vessel laden with contraband am
munition bound for Tripoli has been
blown up in the vicinity of Port Zar
ziss. The entire crew of twenty
men, as well as eighty fishermen who
wore alongside at the time, wero
drowned. The vessel had on board
a number of rifles and BOO barrels
of powder. Authorities learned she
was about to take advantage of tho
absence of guardshlps to try to land
tho cargo on the beaun. They there
upon ordered a body of armed boats
belonging to the sponge fisheries to
surround the ship and prevent its
landing. Twenty-four boats sur
rounded the vessel and the men from
them were just about to sv arm
aboard when tho terrific explosion oc
curred. It is believed the cr.Jtaln
destroyed the vessel to avoid cap
ture. Many sponge boats went down
with the vessel. The explosion was
heard for sixty miles. ,

O'Neill, Neb., Juno 5. A fishing
party had a sad and tragic ending at
Wunder Lake, eight miles southeast
of Page, today, when four persons,
two men and two women, wero
drowned. The party of about thirty
people went to tho lako to fish. Tho
accident occurred about noon, when
a boatload of six started out and
went down, about twonty feet from
tho bank. Two of tho boatload wero
rebcued with fish poles, and the bod
ies of tho others wero fished out with
hooks and lines later. Tho boat was
overloaded.
London, Juno 5. Only a few of
the morning papers comment edit
orially on Croker's victory at Epsom,
and these, with one or two excep
tions, nre unfriendly to Croker. It
would seem that tho llfo achieve
ments of the former Tammany leader
are not so popular as would be ex
pected with peoplo distinguished for
loving "sport for sport's sake." In
contrast with the ley editorial com
ment is tho warm praise of the ex
port sporting writers. They hint
that tho coldness with which Cro
ker's victory is received is the result
pf "financial considerations."
