TURF EVENTS.
Racing Events on the Eastern Tracks
Yesterday.


BUFFALO, August Sth.-Fifteen thousand
people went out to the driving park to- day,
attracted by the announcement that Sunol
and Belle Hamlin would attempt to lower
their records, 2:l0l and 2124, made by
them, respectively. After some preliml-
nary warming up, the.Judges announced
that the horses would be sent to beat 2:l5.

record as four-year. old, the best record up
to date being 2:16. Belle Hamlin was sent
first, her time being 2:144.

called up. She passed the quarter in :3344
the half in LOS, three quarters in 1881,

seemed to contradict Webb's statement that
there was no trouble west of Albany.
A notice has been posted in the Grand
Central depot to the effect that ticket sales
had been suspended temporarily, and the
ticket agent would refund al! money paid
for tickets, if called upon to do so. Late
tonight j. J. Holland stated that he had
not ordered the strike, but thought the
Division Knights of Labor might have
done it,.
Several strikers were interviewed ON the
matter, but declined TO talk, further than
to say that it would prove to be the big
gest strike before it was over that the peo-
pie of the East had seen for some time.

OKLAHOMA.
Great Distress Among the Residents of
the Territory,

Great Distress Among the Residents of
the Territory.
WASHINGTON, August Sth.-The Presi-
dent day sent to Congress a letter from
Governor Steel of Oklahoma, representing
that great distress prevails among the resi-
dents of the Territory, and requesting that
the attention of Congress be called TO the
fact. The President in transmitting the
letter says:
Information received by me from other
sources leads me to believe the Governor is
altogether right in his representation.
There will be, unless relief is afforded
widespread suffering among the settlers in
Oklahoma. Many of these people ex-
pended for travel and in providing shelter
for their families all their means. Crop
prospects for this year, by reason OF the
drought, are unfavorable, and the ability
of the Territory itself to provide must be
inadequate during this year
81 am advised that there is an unex-
pended balance of $4,000 of the fund ap-
propriated for the relief of the Mississippi
flood sufferers, and l recommend that
authority be given to use this fund to meet
the most urgent necessities of the poorer
people in Oklahoma"

Working Order.
WASHINGTON. August Sth.-Within the
next ten days Blaines scheme for the Or
ganization of Bureau of Information con-
cerning the Pan-American countries, and
for which Congress appropriated $4,000.
this amount to be advanced by the United
States, and the different countries to be as
sessed for their share, on the basis of popu-
lation, it being the impression that the
States interested will aggregate 100000 600
souls, will be pretty well established.
When the Pan-American delegates were
making tour of the United States, they
determined that it would be advisable to
establish bureau under the supervision of
the State Department, with headquarters
at Washington, for the dissemination of in
formation which could not fail to be of
benefit 10 all the countries concerned
Blaine selected Mr.. Curtis, who is we'll
known newspaper correspondent of this
city, for the Chief of Bureau, and he has
already entered upon his duties.

THE BOSTON ENoAMpMENr.
People from All Parts Taking Advantage
of the Cheap Rates

EeOplt from All fartS taxing Advantage
of the Cheap Rates.
CHICAGO. August Sth.-Every passenger
train arriving in this city to-day on all the
western roads brought large bodies of ex-
cursionists en- route to Boston and New
York, who are taking advantage of the cheap
rates consequent On the Grand Army En-
campment in the former place. This morn
ing the Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul
brought the California Department of the
G. A. R., and all the roads had one or more
consignments. The Rock Island will bring
in four special trains tomorrow from Kan
sas and Colorado points. The crowd from
Chicago to the East is unprecedented. At
the Michigan Central Office to-day they
were obliged to turn people away in large
numbers, being unable to give them ac-
commodation.
This road has arranged for new line of
Chicago and Boston sleeping cars to go into
service on the North Shore Limited trains.
1t is said that not fifty per cent. of this
extra travel is made up OF Grand Army
men. The ordinary tourists are taking ad-
vantage of the cheap rates in great num-

BEHRING SEA.
The Case of the United States Materially
Strengthened.


strengthened.
New YORK. August 8th.-The Jribune's
Washington special from Cape May says
The conference between the President and
Blaine referred mainly to the new phase
which the negotiations over the Behring
Sea difficulty have assumed. Precisely what
this phase is, and whether it is regarded by
the Administration as favorable to the itA
terests of the United States or the reverse,
is not known here. The general impress
sion, however, prevails that the recent pub
lication of the Behring Sea correspondence
has materially strengthened the case of the
United States, and that the present status
of negotiations is to be regarded as more
satisfactory than when Blaine saw himself
compelled to write his celebrated note on
June 30th
That reciprocity and kindred subjects
were likewise discussed by the President
and Secretary of State need not be in
doubt. 1t is well known that the President
does not desire now, that the House that
voted to make sugar free should restore the
duty, believing this to be an unwise step.
