THE STALLION RECORD BROKEN.

Ran On Earth.

Directum Makes His Owner the Happiest
Ran On Earth.
CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-The stallion trot-
ting record was broken to 2:06K, the
worlds pacing record of 2:o4 equalIed,
and four heats desperately fought from
wire to wire in the greatest race trotted
this year. The sport was witnessed by
IS, 600 people at Washington park today.
The day was not one for speed, the wind
blowing fercely in the horses faces all
the way down the home stretch. Before
Directum was brought out, it was an
nounced that, owing to the high wind,
he would be sent against his own record
of 2:07, instead OF Nancy Hanks record
of 2:04, it being conceded that to equal
the latter time on such day would be an
impossibility. Directum made the first
quarter in 0:33, reached the half in LOS,
and three-uuarters in 1:S474; turning in
to the home stretch, he met the full force
of the strong wind, but came TO the wire
IN 2:06K.
It was almost dark before Flying Jib
was brought out. It had been the inten-
ton to send him against the pacing rec
ord of Mascot, but on account Of the
wind it was decided to send him against
his own record of 2:05&. He made the
quarter in :324 the half in :O2s<, three
quarters in 1-52 and the mile in 2:o4.

Republicans Endeavoring to Compel a
Democratic Quorum.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The RepubIi-
cans continued the deadlock in the affairs
of the House today, in order to prevent
Tucker from reporting the bill repeating
the federal election laws to the House.
They are determined that the bill shall
not receive a place on the calendar until
the Democrats produce quorum.
In the policy of delay they were again
Joined by General Tracy and small CO.
terie of administration Democrats who
are opposed to going ahead with the
Tucker bill at this time.
The revoking of all leaves of absence
by the order of yesterday bore fruit to
the extent of forty additional Democrats
today, but this leaves them still thirty
one short of quorum, exclusive of those
who are acting with General Tracy.
Tucker and colleagues hardly expect to
muster a quorum tomorrow, and on Mon
day the House will participate in body
in the ceremonies attending the celebra-
ton of the laying of the corner stone of
the capitol.
On Tuesday, however, they confidently
anticipate the presence of their own quo
rum and then they will be able to brush
aside the opposition of Republicans.
The flibuster today lasted until
O'Clock, when, by previous order, the
House eulogies on the late Representative
Chapman of Michigan, were delivered. .

THE RIVAL NEws-GATHERERs.
A War of Words Between the Associate,
and the United Press.

A War of Words Between the Associated
and the United Press.
CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 15.-The Leader
will publish tomorrow the following edi-
torial: "The Louisville Courier-JournGJ
of yesterday contained an editorial in
which that paper sought to explain its
action in withdrawing from the Associ-
ated Press and also tried to excuse the
connection of Mr.. Haldeman, the owner
of the Courier-JOurndt, with the
United Press. Mr.. Richard Smith,
at one time prominent owner of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, has also
written an open letter, the intent of
the Associated Press. Messrs. Haldernan
and Smith were for a great many years, as
the louisville Courier journal states. the
trusted directors and two of the members
of the executive committee of the Western
Associated press and while acting in that
capacity they made secret contract with
the United press under which all the
news of the Western Associated press was
delivered to the United press practically
without compensation.
Two years ago. when the members OF
the Associated Press discovered the situa-
ton, Messrs. Haideman and Smith were
retired from the board of directors and
the executive committee, and the unfair
contract was abrogated by the new board.
1t was then discovered that Messrs. Hal
deman and Smith each had $50, 900 of the
United Press stock, which was absolutely
worthless until the secret contract was
made. The abrogation of the contract
and the exposing OF the deal is
what lead to the rupture between
the two associations, the contest now be-
ing to determine whether news gathering
shall be managed by the newspapers
themselves or by stock corporation
which is not controlled by the publishers
of newspapers. Whatever may be tie
outcome of the present controversy. as
long as Messrs. Haldeman and Smith
each hold $4,000 of ,United press stock
for which nothing was paid, common
decency required that they should remain
silent.''

MILWAUKEE, Sept. Is. = Dispatches
this morning from score of northern
Wisconsin cities tell stories of great losses
by forest fires. Marshfield, Junction,
Dexterville, Prentice, Spencer, Medford,
RhineIander, Stevens Point. and other
places, with a population of 1000 to
5000, are surrounded by flames and
are in the greatest danger of be-
ing wiped out. Everything between
Dabier, Wood county, and Necedah
Janeau county, on the Milwaukee & St.
Paul railway, is burned.
Dextervllle is threatened with annihil-
alton. Hundreds of scattered dwellings
are known to be in the path of the flames
and are doubtless burned.
No loss of life Is reported, but that all
the settlers in the burned district escaped
is impossible. Every square mile of that
vast timbered district of Wisconsin is as
dry as finder, the flames sweeping with
out check. The losses will doubtless
run into millions. The district al
ready fire swept and that threatened in
cludes nearly one-third OF the state of
Wisconsin, is overhung by pail of
smoix reaching from Lake Michigan to
Lake Superior and from the extreme east
