EVADES THE KOBY LAW Scheme of Chicago Sports For Continuous Racing In Lake County. THREE DIFFERENT TRACKS. Meeting, of Fifteen Days' Duration Each to Be Given on . the Several Courses. Divergent Views on the Nicholson Lsw. Battleship Fund Complete — Typhoid Fever at Union City—Minor Items. Hammond, Ind., Oct. 16. —Yesterday ended the race meeting at Sheffield, where a racetrack was built to avoid violating the provisions of the Roby law which prohibits continuous racing on any one track. Today a la-day meeting was inaugurated at the new Forsythe track, which has been constructed near the Sheffield course. The same horses will be there and also a number from Latonia, St. Louis and other points. After this last meeting the Chicago gamblers will probably announce a meeting for the old Roby track, and with three tracks they can defy the law, as none of its provisions would be violated by the scheme of changing from one track to another. That would practically give them continuous racing. Struggle With n Bold Robber. Fort Wayne, Oct. 16.—Charles Allen, supposed to be a Chicago crook, entered Pickard Bros.’ furniture store yesterday, pried open the cash drawer and took out $205 in bills, with which he started for the front door.

Clerks came to the rescue of Mr. Pickard, and after a desperate struggle they succeeded iiLstrangiing tho fellow into submission, after which lie was turned over to a police officer.

The ruling is at variance with that made by Judge BurAon at Roch st r last week. Au appeal has been taki n. Prisoner Made His Kscape.

He said: "As the incident occurred when I was a member of the cabinet I do not feel at liberty to discuss it. But as to Sir Lionel Sackville-West, I have no hesitation in saying that he is now, and always has been, an infernal ass.” Mr. Dickinson was asked for his views on Venezuela and Cuba, as it has been stated of late that he represented an advanced position on these questions among the leaders of his party. He said he did not care to go into the matter at length. The developments of no'• distant day would speak more eloquently than words. Ex-Congressman Weadock, who is in the Michigan party, said that it was a recognized principle of international law that a struggling people should be recognized as belligerents as soon as they showed- their ability to resist the .established government. This was not a recognition of them as a nation, but as people entitled to the rights of civilized warfare. The Cubans were entitled to it now, and the question of their recognition as a nation would come afterward. CUBANS NEED HIM. Cavalry Officer Will Go to Cuba to.lnstruct the Insurgent Army. | Cleveland, Oct. 14. — Sylvester Scovel, son of Rev. Dr. Scovel, president of Wooster (O.)

Brigadier General Taylor of the State Guard Hhh Been Called Into Consultation—Will Go to Hot Spring* to Make an Investigation — Steve Brodie, the Bridge Jumper, Appointed Referee. Little Rock, Oct. 16.—Governor Clarke’s determination to stop the Cor-bett-Fitzsimmons contest at any cost was emphasized yesterday by the pres- ’ ence in this city of General Taylor of Forest City, brigadier general of the I Arkansas state guard, who was .summoned to the capital by telegraph to confer with the governor in regard to ; the strength of the state militia. General Taylor was in conference with Governor Clarke for an hour in the morning, and when seen later by a reporter was preparing to take the afternoon train for Hot Springs. General Taylor said positively that the fight would not occur. His purpose in going to Hot Springs, he said, was to warn the people there against the danger to which they would subject themselves should any attempt be made to bring the contest off. The' state guard, General Taylor said, was in good condition and amply sufficient to cope with the case in hand. He could, he said, with few a hours notice, land 850 well drilled aud fully equipped men in Hot Springs. Governor Ciarke. when questioned in reference to his consultation with General Taylor, Was not disposed to talk. When asked if he hadf confidence in the ability of the state guard to carry out his plans, he said that the militia was a matter of secondary consideration, tlrat he could get all the force necessary outside of the military companies. He reiterated his former declaration that the fight would not be permitted to take place, and in this connection said he could make no distinction between a prizefight and a glove contest. "Corbett and Fitzsimmons shall not meet in Hot Springs in any kind of a contest,” said Governor Clarke emphatically. "If they ever meet they will fight, and they shall not fight in Arkansas. They shall not meet in Hot Springs, either in or out of a ring. They-shall not even shake hands.” Steve Brodie For Referee. r Omaha, Oct. 16.—Steve Brodie,, who has been playing in this city, received a dispatch last night saying he had been chosan referee in the Corbett-Fitzsim-mons fight, which will occur when a place can be found where the mill can be pulled off.

REBELLIOUS KOREANS. I I i Details of the Successful Attack Upon ' the Palace at Seoul. |'■ ■ 'QUEEN HAS DISAPPEARED. Di.patche. Do Not State Specifically, but It I. Supposed That She Hae.Been Murdered —Denial That Japanese Participated—Contract. Let For New Torpedo Boats — Michigan Mall Service. Washington, Oct. 15.—Information of the formidable uprising/!! Korea, resulting in the disappearance and probable death of the queen and the landing of military forces by the United States and European powers has been received by Minister Kurino of Japan from the l foreign office at Tokio. It is quite sen ' sational, indicating the landing of ma-' ’ rines by Russia, the United States and 1 probably Great Britain I The dispatches come from Tokio and ! communicate the substance of dispatchj es received from General Muira, the * Japanese envoy at Seoul. They are ; dated from the 9th to the 12th inst. It ■ I appears from these dispatches that the i trouble had its inception through the' queen's dislike of the newly organized i soldiery at Korea. The old soldiers had , the primitive equipment of the far east. But with the progress of Japanese influ- : ence in Korea two battalions of Korean I troops were organized on modern nieth- ! ods. Each battalion numbered 600 men, armed with modern weapons. They were well drilled and otticered. When the queen showed her disfavor toward these new troops they appealed to the Tai Won Kun, a powerful chief I who has long been at enmity with the ! queen. He accepted the leadership of | i the new troops, and at the head of one battalion entered the queen’s palace. ■ The native soldiers fled from the pal- , ace. The Tokio dispatches do not state specifically what became of the queen further than that she had disappeared and could not be located. The officials are inclined to believe, however, that the unofficial reports of the queen’s death are true. The Japanese government, the dispatches further state, has acted quickly on the reports and has appointed a commission to inquire into the facts. In the meantime it is emphatically denied that the queen’s death, if it has oc curred, was due to the Japanese. The latest judications are that the Tai Won Kun and the king are in control of affairs at the Korean capital. The king has been the nominal ruler, but the queen has heretofore been recognized as the real ruler. The influence of the king ■•’ I. the Tai Won Kun are distinctly t. • o ble to the Japanese. TORPEDOBOATS FOR THE NAVYr~ Secretary Herbert Sign* Contracts With the Herreshofl’s For Two New* Washington, Oct. 15. — Secretary ; Herbert yesterday signed the contracts j with the Herreshoffs tor the building of two new torpedoboats recently awarded them after public bidding. Some delay was occasioned in the matter by ■ the absence of the secretary from the city, and a reluctance on the part of j others at the department to execute the ■ papers in his absence. The department is not concerned over ; reports that the Herreshoff Bros, may decide to go in separate byances of ship i building, as the contract will be with the firm and the government has noth ing to do with private affairs of the firm. w The rumored dissolution of the firm was denied by John B.

NOT BRITISH SOLDIERS Alleged Expedition Against Venezuela Kot,Given Any Credence. ■ A ■ ' 4 .-jM SIMILAR REPORT IS CITED. Armed Forces Seen Are Suppoeed t« Have Been * Party of Gold Miner* Hunting a New Location—The Pre»l- ■ dent and Family Return to Washing- S tort—Cleveland Will Go to Atlanta. Washington, Oct. 16. — The news' ro- a ceived from Brazil that an armed British force is marching through Brazilian territory to that portion of Venezuela claimed by Great Britain finds no credence here. The entire colonial army .of British Guiana numbers 200 militia, a forcs too small tq bb effective in a cOnflicf with Veneztifc-la, and besides, the British aro too well iliforme.l as to the rights of other nations to needlessly make an \ | .issue with a friendly nation like Brazil by violating her territory. Again the particular corner of Brazil that such a « force would be obliged to traverse is an | impenetrable jungle and the route s would land it far back in tho interior, remote from the tract involved in the ] boundary dispute. It is recalled that a similar report was put afloat a few weeks ago, only the scene in that case was on the boundary of French Guiana and the armed forces j were represented to have been landed ,-S from a French warship. As a fact, it || was found later that the party seen was made up of-a fewc gohLminers seeking new mining grounds, and it is presumed "J that in the present case the expedition reported is nothing more than another j mining party going into the interior. « ’ BACK FROM GRAY GABLES.
