ALIX, QUEEN OF TROTTERS
Nancy Hanks Record Lowered Yester-
day at the Galesburg Track.
NEW WORLDS MARK is 2:O3s
All the Conditions Were Favorable for
Great Performance and Driver Mcdowell
Never Had to Use the Whip Throughout
the Journey Fifteen Thousand Present.

GALEsBuRG. ILL.,, Sept. 19.-Fifteen thousand
people yelled themselves hoarse this after
noon when the great trotting queen, Alix,
beat the worlds record by coming under the
wire in 2:035l. The day was an ideal one for
such an event and the track in good condi-
tion.
The start was made in splendid style, Alix
going as regularly as clock work, with head
down and her short. pointed ears twitching
nervously. When she approached the wire
for the start she seemed to be going little
slow, but she soor increased her speed. She
was working like machine and yet so easily
and gracefully that one would hardly imagine
she was going at such tremendous clip.
When the quarter was reached there was
general exclamation: Thirty and half; she
will beat it," From that to the half she
seemed to fly making it in 1;019{, The third
quarter she increased her pace trifie, max
ing 1t in 1929. When she started up the
homestretch she was moving along without
apparent effort. The last few rods she again
as she darted under the wire the shout went
up from the thousands: "She's done it; she's
done it,
WHAT THE DRIVER SAID.
Driver Mcdowell said: 1T was a remark
able mile. She did not seem worried bit by
the effort, but came out as fresh as she went
in. Her action was perfect. The whole dis
tance never spoke to her or raised the whip;
it was not necessary. When l reached the
half-mile pole. knew that she would break
the record. She was in the very pink OF
condition and so eager to go that she
needed no urging. I therefore let her go at
her fixed gait from the half mile in. At the
upper turn at the end of the third quarter l
found the track trifie spongy and gave her

home stretch l gave her the pole again.
was confident she could beat the record, and
| wanted her TO for Williams sake"
Alix is now six years old. Her first race
was at Beatrice, Neb., in June, 1890, then a
two-year old. Last year she made record
of 207&4. The first trotting she did this year
was in an exhibition at Council Bluffs, where
| she went a mile in 2:111I.

pear was Lieutenant Lyons of Captain

the shrapnel and of the general opinion
that there. was no danger from it. He
said there was no apprehension of an ex-
plosion, and told Of how 1t might have
occurred from other causes. Lieutenant
Nj. Horne of the same battery tes ified in
similar strain, and failed to bring out any

on the Korea frontier facing the Japanese

Mitsui Bussan Kaishia, two Japanese con-
Germs of great wealth. The Custom-house
reports that the annual clearance at the
port is of about HOO steamers and l9Oo
sailing vessels, not TO speak OF some oooo
native junks. The trade OF the port is
confined chiefly to beans, beancake, beam
OIL silk, silk goods and strawbraid. There
was formerly heavy importation OF
opium from India, but this has decreased
steadily. owing tn the introduction OF
poppy-culture in Northern China, until 1t
has dropped to about $4,000 pounds per
annum. Chefoo imports few things from
Uncle Sam. Among these are kerosene.
California flour, canned fruits and vegeta-
bles, smoked salmon, toilet sap and per-
fumery. Ausonia clocks. Waterbury
watches, fine cotton cloth and patent medi-
cnes. She also imports brown and white
sugar from Takow in South Formo.a and
Manila in the Philippines. Most of this is
consumed in making candy. sweetmeats
and confections.
There has been a steady emigration from
Chefoo for the fifteen years last past to
Vladivostok. There are thousands of
Shan-Tung men there working on the
great Traps-Siberian Railway and hun
dreds engaged in farming, fishing. shop
keeping and domestic service. They were
carried from Chefoo in steamers belonging
to the japanese companies and were their
chief element Of traffic The present.wa as
stopped all this and has converted nearly
all the steamers engaged in carrying coolies
into transports to tring soldiers from ia
pan to the very place where they formerly
| did business.
| The country about Chefoo Is not over
| fertile. The scenery is mountainous and
at points beautiful. The hills rise to sharp
conical peaks, which in winter are COW
cred with snow ard ice. In this mountain
country are many mines AT Chiao-Y uan
are gold mines which have been worked
for centuries and still pay well. although
no machinery is employed upon them.
There are lead and silver mines at Tzu-
Chuau ana quicksilver mines near Lung
| Shan. Chefoo is not strong place from
either naval or military point OF view.
1t could be captured from sea or land with
out any serious resistance. Its original
| forts were worthless affairs armed with
| smoothbore cannons of the last century
| They are still extant. In addition are two
new forts, small but modern. which art
said to be equipped with small Krupps
1t would make good base from which tt
march overland TO Peking and thus avoit
the great forts at Taku. The capture o.
Chefoo would not produce as profound ar
impression as that OF Moukden, but i
would inf1ict more damage and more en-
danger the safety of Peking.

RAILROADS AT WAR.
Western Lines Will Stand by the
Emigrant Clearing House.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-At a meeting of the
Western Passenger Association today the
business transacted was largely of rou-
tine nature. the prin ncipal matter disposed
of being the question of the readiustment
of Northern Pacific coast rates in Trunk
line territory. Chairman Caldwell was in
structed to follow up the matter with
view of securing he adjustment of these
rates to the agreed basis between the
Western Passenger Association lines and
the Trunk Line Association. This means
that the western lines are not going to
take any back water in their light with the
trunk lines over the emigrant traffic. The
western lines are more determined than
ever. and say that they will never allow
the Trunk lines to do away with the emf
grant clearing house, and that they are
bound to maintain it even at the expense
of a big war There is no money in fight
for anybody, and the Western lines are as
well aware of this as the Trunk lines can
possibly be. However. they are deter
mined that the emigrant clearinghouse
which has proved the best solution Oi
what has always been hard problem fol
the western roads, shall not be done away
with.
