Handicap.
New York, June 1. G. E. Smith, better
known as "Pittsburg Phil," speaking lost
night of Howard Mann, who won the
Ilrooklyn handicay yesterday, said:
I bought Howard Mann Just about a
year ago. He was entered in a good
stake race I have forgotten Just what
the amount was and we had Bclmax
to curry our colors. I regarded Mann
as the only dangerous quantity against
us, and finding that he could be bought
for 11000, I put up the amount and took
him out of the race. Belmar won hand
somely. Since then we have watched
the horse carefully and found that he

Chicago. June 1. When the Northwest
ern transcontinental train pulled out of
Chicago last nig-ht It carried Prince
Lulgl of Savoy, who goes to Alaska to
Climb Mount St Ellas. Lieut. Cognac,
of the Italian navy, went with him.
The prince says he Is bent on health
and pleasure alone, and he cares nothing
for the glory of ascending the mountain.
"I cannot say mountain-climbing Is a
passion with me," he said. "I am fond
of outdoor sports and for a while was
doubtful whether I would spend (he sum
mer hunting In the RoclUvs or asceid
os me mountain peak. I finally deter
mined to make the attempt to scale Mt.
St. Ellas, partly because It has never
been scaled, and partly because I want
to see the grand scenery In Its neigh
borhood. It Is a Pleasure to succeed In
doing what others have failed in. 1 too,
may fail, but I and my friends will try
and that Is all anyone can do.
"The expedition has no scientific In'er
est so far as I am concerned. Signer
Zella will take some photoxraphs and
perhaps some meteorological obs--rva-tions,
but the main object Is recreation
and health. We shall have only two
months before It will be Impossible to
live at such an altitude as we hope to
attain, and the chances are we shall en
counter tnsurmountables, as were met
by our predecessors."

the next steamer to Portland. Reports

Washington, June L Secretary Bliss to
night wired Instructions to Indian Agent
Slouch, whose reservation Is in the seat
of the Cheyenne Indian trouble, dire .'ting
him to immediately notify the depart
ment of the situation and to use every
effort to deliver the Indian fugitive to
the civil officers showing satisfactory
credentials. This decision was reached
after a conference between Acting Sec
retary of the Interior Kyan, Acting Com
missioner of Indian Affair Smith, and
Attorney General KcKenna and the ad
jutant general. The report which Captain
Slouch mailed on May 25, and which
reached here today, was reed, together
with dispatches to the president and Sen
ator Carter. The officials are awaiting
with considerable uneasiness the report
from the agent which he was peremp
torily directed to telegraph at once.
The Northern Cheyennes are known
here as a warlike band, easily Inflamed
and whose actions cannot be too closely
guarded. The following la Secretary
Bliss's dispatch to Agent Stouch:
"Captain W. H. Stouch, Agent Lame

derers are under the protection of the
agent who makes no effort to arrest the
criminals and prevents the sheriff from
making the arrests. Will you direct the
proper authorities to surrender the mur
derers, or allow the sheriff to make the
arrests? (Signed) Robt. B. Smith, gov

authorized civil authorities as far as
practicable In the execution of the law.
Wire the facts and the situation Imme
diately. Meantime use every available
means to apprehend the offenders aud
deliver them to the duly authorized civil

sound prudential Jurdgment. to the end
that there may be no bloodshed If by
any possibility It can be avoided. (Signed)
