The Coming Turf Queen.

Fantasy, the big daughter OF
Chimes and Honora, Is generally re-
garded as one of the most promising
candidates for the trottlng crown
that now decks the fluffy forelock
and sensitive ears of Nancy Hanks
the heroine OF mile in 9 minutes
and I seconds, the fastest mile ever
trotted in the history OF the turf.
goldsmith Maid was 10 years old be-
fore She trotted in PA III 1876. DeX-
tar vas 10 years old when he made
his great mile in 2,17t in 1867. Maud
: was about II years Of age when

wears old when she duplicated eX-
Queen Maud's great mile last year IN
y hotly contested race at Nashville

owner G. J. Hamlin says the word
the peerless mare will soon be NOV
ing down toward the 204 OF Nancy
Hanks. Her trainer, John Splan,
not only believes that she may cap
fnre the turf crown this year, but
that she may go even farther and be
the first trotter to get under the wire
IN two minutes.
Fantasy's performance last year
has even & more wonderful look
when il Is remembered that the
came mare began the season
in the $40 class. She won her hrst
race in 2.a1, 2.21 and 9,13+ at Roches
ter and continued her marvellous
bursts OF speed until she closed the
year with her present mark.

The Democrats Resolve to Accept The
Senate Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, August 10. = A
gloomy morning broke upon the ma
jority of the House of Represents
tiyes, and the members were tardy
in reaching the Capitol. A meeting
was held in Speaker Crisp's room
this morning to decide what action
the House leaders should take with
reference to the tariff bill i'll caucus.

the WAYS and Means Committee,
McMillin, of Tennessee, Montgomery,
OF Kentucky, Turner, OF Georgia,
and Breckenridge, Of Arkansas, also
members Of the committee, AT I'VE
minutes before 10 o'clock the state.
ment was made on the authority OF
one of these gentlemen that it mad
been decided to accept the Senate
bill. At 10 O'Clock not more than
two score members were in the cham
Der. Every one felt that time mad
arrived when some decisive action
should be taken regarding the mat
tiers in dispute between the two
Houses, and the hope was generally.
expressed that no opposition would
be made to the Senate bill IL order
that a speedy termination OF the
long contest should be reached.
As the members gathered the air
was full OF rumors and dozen CON
flicting stories were in circulation.
The intimation was broadly given
out last night by some of the House
leaders that the Senate bill would
be accepted without material o6lec-
ton at the caucus today. while there
was another report that at today's
caucus the House leaders would in
sist upon the policy OF delay IN The
hope that some agreement might yet
be reached in conference fairly sat
isfactory to all sides,
