TROTTING.
The Bay Gelding Frank Reduces the Record
to 2:OS Ia.
New York Special.

New York Special.
The little bay gelding Frank beat the record in
IA race at Prospect Park Fairgrounds to-day,
with a running mate against H 81. Winship and
mate. The purse was for $4,000, and $500 ex-
IRA to the horse breaking the record of 2:10%.
About three hundred spectators were present,
snd the track was in excellent condition. John
Murphy drove Frank and mate and James Gold
on, of Boston, drove Winship and mate.
in the first heat, after two false starts, the
horses got off, Frank leading slightly to the
quarter-pole, when Winsnip passed and took the
pole, keeping it till just before reaching the
three-qUarter pole. Then Murphy sped his team
and. gaining rapidly, Tapped the other team at
the three-quarter ami shot ahead on the home
stretch. Both teams were running, but Murphy
brought his horses down and they passed under
the wire in good shape, winning by half a neck.
The time was as follows: First quarter, :3314;
half, l:o3A; fhree-quarters, ES5l2; mile, 2:091s,
fhis Is the best time made, the best previous
record being that Of Maud s., who made the mile
in 210A. Frank thus beats the best record by
214 seconds. The event caused great excite
ment, and considerable money changed hands.
In the second heat three false starts were
made before the horses got off, with Frank at
the pole. Winship passed him at the quarter,
and led two lengths to the three-quarter pole,
where Frank picked up but did not hold his
ground. Winship shooting ahead and coming
unde the wire a winner by a length and a half
or two lengths. Time-First quarter, :3319;
half, 1:044; three-quarters, 1861; mile 2;l04'

CHANGES IN THE HOUSE.

A Hint of the Trouble in Store for the Com
ing Presiding officer.
Correspondence New York Herald.
The return OF the gavei and the mace to q
Democratic majority will, under the new census
apportionment, witness a different scene than
was presented when Mr.. Speaker Blaine called
the Forty-third Congress to order the first Mon
day in December ten years ago. He had been
Speaker of the previous House, when the mem
bers sat in great oak arm-chairs, with a desk
like alittle fortress in front Of each of the 242
members. Mr.. Blaine, who in earlier years
had been a s-choolmaster, Knew the advantage
of keeping whispering children apart if good
order was to be maintained. 1t had been com
paratively an easy task, with his vigOr and firm
ness. to maintain good order in the House during
the Forty-first and Forty-secOnd congresses.
The width of space separating members did not
make It easy for the restless ones to carry on
con versatlon in their seats. When the new ap-
portionment' added fifty more seats To the
floor it became necessary to remove the massive
chairs and desks and substitute light cane
chairs and slender desks for the old ones,
to narrow the alsles leading to the diff
fereut rows of seats. and to occupy every
available inch of space in order to accemmo-
date the increased membership. If it was a
matter of crowdlng ten years ago, what will it
be in the next House, when the membership is
thirty three larger than In 1873. The crowding,
of course, has been accomplished by the same
process of reducing the size OF the desks, put
ting them still closer together, adding a new row
to the outer circle and squeezing in seats where
before there were narrow, very narrow aisles
for access and exit. The result Is that the
member to whose lot shall fall a seat In the mid
ole OF a row will find himself as much embar-
rassed, If he wishes to leave ii, as one does who
is hemmed in in the middle seat of a long row
at a place of amusement. 1t was such a s1tua-
ton of affairs that maze Speaker Blaine entreat
the members OF the Forty-thlrd Congress to aid
him in keeping order by refrainiug from CONVEX
satiOn in their seats and TO move about as noise
lessly as possible. Who that remembers his ex-
haustinglahor of demanding order with his ivory

that Darlington had none but the original orders
which he Obeyed to the letter.

with the officers of the signal service, testified
that no such discussion took place in his pres

made to conform to that plan.
Lieutenant COlwell, of the navy, testified that
the equipment of the PrOteus was miserable;
her boilers defective. and boats unsea-
worthy. In fact, her owners were about
to send her away for repairs when
she was chartered by HaZen. The ships COM

escaped death by a mob, and was subjected to
all kinds of insult and injury. He was finally
identified by persons who went from this yicin-

Cured, was considered an outrage, and the peo-
pie who know Kuhl are doing all they can to as
sist him. Attorneys of much ability, including

Of the surplus revenue of the National Treasury,
desires to know in what way Congress distrib-
uted the surplus, how much there was of it, etc.
In June, 1886, a law was passed providing that
the surplus remaining in the Treasury on Jan. l.
1897, above 81, 100000, should be deposited
with the States in four quarterly installments III

subject to recall under certain conditions in case
of necessity. Three installmenis. aggregating
S28, 000, 000, were thus deposited. but, owing TO
"a change of sentiment and n decreasing revenue.
the fourth installnnent was first postponed and
finally withheld by act of Congress-. "Soine of
the States" says Mr.. Wharton Barker, in a
pamphlet lately published on the distribution of
the national surplus, used their shares well and
wisely. In some their interest still contributes
to defray the expenses of tue public schools; in
others they were as good as wasted. New
Hampshire, for Instance, illustrated extreme
democratic principles by distributing the money
among her ciGlzens.'

The Carlisle People Doing All the Talking
-Eisndalps Men Quiet but Confident.
Washington Special.
The cause of the apparent boom for Mr.. Car
isle is the presence of Southern and Western
members There are about fifteen of these, who
are mostly for the Kentuckian. Members from
the East have not yet begun to come in. AS the
Carlisle cOngressmen are doing pretty much all
the talking. matters present the appearance of
going their way. Now that Cox is here, a slight
diversion is made in his favor. Cox has opened
headquarters at Williard's, aud is ready to re-
ceive any aid or encouragement for himself that
comes along. He is being coached by Repre-
sentative Hill, of Ohio, who is quite as con-
ident of the success of Mr.. Cox as any friend of
Mr.. Carlisle could be of his. Mr.. Cox smiles at
the idea OF complimentary votes, ana warns his
opponents that they may give him enough COM
plimentafY votes 10 elect him Speaker. In his
opinion the unpledged vote holds the balance OF
power. 1t is conceded that a majority have not
pledged themselves to any candidate, and the
most of these so fOOt-loose have been divided up
be tween Randall aud Carlisle with "a freedom
which is ridiculous. There is no question but
that Cox is correct on this point. but his eonclu-
sion that the unpledged are more likely to go
for him than for either Mr.. Randall or Mr.. Car
Isle is manifesTly unwarranted by the facts.
When Mr.. Randall makes his appearance here
the canvass for the speakership will, his friends
claim, assume a different aspect. RandalPs chief
support comes from the East, and the Eastern
members 90 not come to Washington unit. a few
Carlisle is authority for the statement that Mr..
Randall probably has moro actually pledged
votes, absolute, than either of his opponents.
He is conceded sixty at least. There are not
more than forty votes which are counted upon
for Carlisle. and Cox is believed by the friends
of Mr.. Randall likely to cast a bigger first ballot
than Carlisle. The fact is most of this figuring
is purely guesswork. The statement of Mr.. Cox
to-day that the unpledged vote would elect is
nearer the trnth than any yet put forth. The
tabulated statement put ont by Carlisle's friends
is apt to work him injury. as betraying his hand.
To Randall is accorded a wiser head. His pre-
Vious contests have left him the best manager
of his own affairs, and the result Is still consid-
cred by the disinterested as in Mr.. RandaL's
hands.
1t Is reported that John G.. Thompson has de-
termined 70 withdraw from the contest for the
position of sergeant alarms of the next House.
1t is said that he has discovered since he came
here that ex-Representative Leedom, his princi-
pal competitor, has secured a majority of the
Democratic votes from Ohio. and that he has
therefore abandoned the fight, having previous
iy agreed to do so II Leedom should secure the
votes of a majority of the Democrats i'll the
OH delegation. The report cannot be verified.
