Dwyer, the Amer ican hor3e owner, in an Interview with him after he landed at New York yesttr day, in which he is quoted as criticising his treatment In England, have been, ca bled here and are being severely crl'tt clsed. TRe Sun fays: "Because Dwyer and his horses and his 'tailor-made Jockey have not had matters all their own way her? he declares he was swindled, robber and hustled most abpmlnaibly. We well know the stuff of which American sport Is maie without mentioning the elements which go to malts It." The Westminster Gazet'te says: "If we take our Amerlcaa cousin ait what re cent events have shown, him to be, It Is not unreasonable, to estimate that we should have a very poor opinion of his sportsmanship. First -w found -Cornell unable to take a licking gracefully, and .now the same, thing appear in racing. Fortunately we saw last year that Amer ican athletes are true sportsmen right through, and w know from Jong expe rience that American, yach'.smea know how to behave themselves or we might be inclined' to leiavy Lork Dunraven and the London Athletic Club."

A Reported Sale of Astoria-Goble Road Denied. N. r. IN NO POSITION TO BUY The Receivers on the Sound to De fend Themselves and Not to Suy Oregon Railroads. ' The following telegram, published In the San Francisco Examiner, has created some little comment In town: Tacoma, Wash., August 8. Today's rail road sensation concerning the Northern Pacific property in the northwest is the statem.nt that the real object of the trip of Receiver Payne and Judge Jenkins to the coast is to look over and arrange by order of the court, for the purchase of the light of way and property of the branch lino from Gobie to Astoria, Ore gon. They .will be in tomorrow. Ex-Untted Stales Senators Oo'.ph, of Oregon, und Spooner, of Wisconsin, are amoi.g the prominent lawyers here to- n'ight Vho "Will represent the receivers of the Northern Pacific b.fore the Unit ed States court to-morrow in Ives' peti tion to oust them. They have agreed to make no argument, and further time will be ask.d and .probably granted. Inquiry at railroad, headquarters last night elicited the alatemiiit that bo far as the Astoria and Columbia Rlv.r R ill road Is concerned, the story is manufac tured out of whole cloth. The proposition refutes Itself. To think for a moment that the courts would permit a bankrupt railroad corporation to purchase another railroad at an expense of several million dollars 1s ridiculous. Had the Northern Pacific Railway Company been In a finan cial condition to enter upon such an In vestment, It would Itself hav built the Astorla-Goble railroad three years ago, when Its engineers examined Into the proposition and reported favorably upon It to the company. That It did not do so 'was simply froim a lack of means; that It wankd to do so Is & matter of current .Information. True It Is that times are better and that the Northern Pacific Railway Company undev its receivership management last yiar cleared up about $0,000,000 above operating expenses, yet that company is a long ways from being cut of the 'woods, and resent develop ments In t'he action tak;n for the remov al of the present receivers would Indicate that t'hero Is still considerable work lo be done befor the rearganlzatlon schema can be carried out and the road put on an Independent paying basis. Furthermore, Mr. Hammond has enter ed upon the construction, of the Astoria and Columbia River Railroad on purely business principles. His plans are deep laid and far reaching and to sell1 out at the very inception of the scheme would frustrate all his future prosp;ets and Is contrary to reason to suppose that tie would consider such a proposition at this stage of the game. The only object of the Northern Pacific receivers In making their hurried trip across the continent the other day was 'to head off the vigorous efforts of Bray- ton Ives to have those same gentleman removed from ofuce, at least, so far as Is known by the officials of the Astoria and Columbia River Railroad. SILVER CONFERENCE. Pians Made for the Campaign, Washington, August 14. The proceed ings of the silver conference developed some difference as to the line of policy to be recommended, but these were not of a sufficiently radical nature to cause apprehension of serious delay, The committee proceedings indicated that the report when made will recom mend the la3uance. of am address to the Democratic party of the country, urging In Vrry strong terms the maintenance of the sliver cause In the Democratic ranks and also outline a plan of reorgan ization for the sliver forces In the party with a view to the selection of delegates to tho next national convention. This plan will probably embrace the appoint ment of a central committee with mem bers from each state and territory which shall In turn select a. member from every county, the latter to have power to ap point a member for every voting pre cinct in his county. The plan Includes a provision for a national head iuarters, probably at Washington. GOLD RE3RVE. Washington, August 14. United States Treasurer Morgan todiy received a tele gram from Assistant Triasuresr Jordan at New York, stating that the bond syn dicate had d poaltedt $1,058,000 in Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report n gold In exchange for legal teadur &nd later in the day another telegram was) received statin? that $1,150,000 in fold had been withdrawn for export to Europe. This loaves the gold reserve at the close of business $102,431,081. This second de posit by tho syndicate confirms the offi cials In the belief that it fully interwls to see to it that the $100,000,000 gold reserve Is not Invaded. CONVICTED OF MURDER.
