Art Brown Made New Record at the Den. yer Meet.
 Denver, Aug. 16.-Five worlds fair records were knocked out in two hours at the national meet of the League of American Wheelmen to-day on the Den yer Wheel clubs new one-third mile track Titus. Brown and Turnbull were the heroes whom an immense crowd enthusiastically cheered. At the start Clyde Turnbull of Denver obliterated the novice record of 2:29 and put up 2;23 3-5 in Its place. Then Art Brown of Cleveland shaved Sanger's mile compe- tition record of PIP 3-5 down to 2:10 3-5, being given the race through disquali- fication of Fred Titus, who unintention- ally fouled Sanger and got ahead of everybody at the tape.
 Later on Titus took the five-mile na- tional championship in 12:19 1-5, lower ing his own record of 1928 and riding one of the prettiest races of the season. Harry Maddox, who dropped out in the fourth mile, rode in again on the fifth and cut out terrific pace for his col leagues Titus was riding next to last when the hot work began, but he shot up on the final turn and came down the stretch like a whirlwind, crossing the line but half wheel in front of Brother Charles" Murphy, who led the California wonder, Zeigler, by only a few inches.
 The half-mile national championship went to Eddie Bald of Buffalo in 1:O5 1-5, 4 4-5 seconds under the best previous competition half-mile record. This, too, was a tremendously warm heat and Bald beat his team-mate, Mcdonald, by only six inches.
 Little Lee Richardson of Chicago who wears a gold medal for the fastest half-mile ever ridden backwards, ,2:37 3-5, went for his previous mark and brought the final down to 2:35 without much trouble. Only one spill marked the afternoons racing and that was not chargeable to the track. Four men went down in heap on the last lap of the two-mile handicap, but none were more than scratched except H. S. Dod- son of Chicago, who was underneath the pile and was pretty badly shaken up.
 J. S. Johnson appeared after many avowals to the contrary and started in one of the trial heats, but his wheel got a kink of some sort and "Josh" did not get up again. It is expected he will try to make a showing tomorrow. Chair man Raymond of the League was ref

DOUBTS AMONG IMPORTERS.
There is Confusion in Regard to the New
 Tariff Law.

There Is Confusion in Regard to the New
 Tariff Law.
 Washington, Aug. 16.-Doubt exists in the minds of many importers as to the assessment of duty on goods arriving in this country prior to or on the day tariff bill becomes effective, but not formally entered until after the bill has become law.
 In reference to this confusion, 1t is explained at the treasury department that the bill will not go into effect until the day after the presidents sig nature is affixed, or the law becomes operative through the expiration of the ten days limit. In other words, if the bill was signed to-day, Thursday, Au- gust 16, it would become operative inn mediately after midnight or at the be- ginning of Friday, August IF. Therefore, as the law does not become operative until the day following its approval, or the last day of its limitation, goods reaching a United States port on the day of signature, etc., are subject to as- sessment under the Mckinley tariff, and it will not avail the importers any thing by waiting until the following day to make entry.
 In cases, whether, where goods ar- rive on the day proceeding the date of effect and are assessed under the Mo- Kinley law, refunds of any excess of duty over the senate law will almost certainly be made.

Itis Believed Senator Vests Prophecy Will be Fulfilled.
 Washington, Aug. 16-Senator Harris to-day called meeting of the finance committee after the reference of the four independent tariff bills. All the members of the committee excepting Senators Voorhees, and Morrill, were present, and MT. Harris informed them that he was pledged to report the bills back to the senate and would do so if possible.
 MT. Jones entertained similar views, while Senators Vest and McPherson were silent. The republicans being asked if they would agree that the dem- ocrats should vote the six votes belong ing to them in the composition of the committee declined to do so, upon which MT. Jones declared that it was neces- sary for the democrats to ask the sen- ate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Vance. He made a move toward the senate chamber to carry out this design when adjourn ment was announced.
 The committee will meet tomorrow. What the outcome will be or how the democrats will fill the vacancy which is necessary before report can be printed is problem. It is said the re- publicans will join the two democratic populists and the Louisiana senators and select MT. Blanchard of Louisiana member of the finance committee. Many believe that MT. Vests prophecy that the reference of the bills will lead to their everlasting sleep will be full filled. r. Ls, M

SILVER MEN MEET.
Judge sheldon Wa. Present at tho confor.
 -nce.

Washington, Aug. l6.-A conference
 on the silver question began here to- day in the rooms of the American
 Bi-Metallic league. Among those pres ent were General A. J. Warner. Sem ator Stewart. Representatives Bell and
 Price. Judge Sheldon of New Haven, A. Wolcott of Indiana. Judge Gerry of Colorado. Secretary Devine of the leag- ue, Colonel Lee Grand. all of this city, Captain George Thatcher of Colorado. J. H. Randall Of Chicago. and A. S..
 Dulin of Colorado.
 General Warner said that the confer ence had been called to consider the
 present situation and to outline the policy to be pursued by the friends of silver. One years experience under the exclusive gold standard had been had. This congress had now completed its work. Many states have held their conventions and platforms have been adopted and the trend of things within the parties may be observed. To his utter astonlshment at the meeting of the republicans at Denver the west surrendered to the gold standard in- fiuence. In Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, the platforms of both parties were mostly straddles of what was to be done to fight upon lines laid down by political conventions meant defeat. Education must go on. Senator Stewart made the point that falling prices destroyed the stability of opportunity for everybody except mo-
 nopolists. The universal distress which
 now exists, he said. was but the be- ginning of the end of the civilization of the nineteenth century unless the great
 hold trust was abolished. The trust,
 headed by the Rothschilds, was founded 100 years ago. The war of secession, building of railroads, etc., made condi- tions in the United States similar to those in England after the battle of Waterloo. Senator Stewart pointed to the prosperity of silver stand countries and said that with free coinage here the prosperity of this country would surpass that of others and the people would not be serfs of foreign gold syndicate. But no relief could come as long as the gold standard was main- tained.
 Speeches were also made by c. S.. Thomas, of Denver, and others.

EAT WATERMELONs,
No Crow Diet This Year-Meeting of Youna
 Mems Republican Club.

Mens lSepuDl1Can Club.
 About 15O members of the Youna Mems Republican club met at the club house last evening for the purpose of holding the August meeting of the club and incidentally to cut watermelOns, talk about projected excursion and talk over politics. President Frederick B. Farnsworth was in the chair and Louis Davis was secretary. When il became noised abroad that the water, melons were on ice and ready to be cut the members manifested an air of im- patience and the business meeting was hurriedly rushed through. About all that was done outside of the regular routine business was the admission of nine new members to the clubs roster and the decision to postpone the matter of an excursion to an indefinite period.
 As soon as the motion to adjourn had been passed all the members rushed down stairs, where upon a table was discovered twenty-five of the finest watermelons ever seen in this part of the state. With few brief but pointed remarks President Fsarnsworth inserted the point of knife in one of lffe melons and from that time on everyone en. joyed himself to the full and several became more than full ton watermelon). So pressing was the discussion and di. gestion of the watermelons that every. thing else became absolutely of no im- portance, the members even forgetting themselves so far as to absolutely re, frain from discussing even politics. Only walermelons were talked of and thought of until a late hour, when all went home more than satisfied with the spread which had been prepared.
 The club voted to attend in a body the meeting to be held at Bridgeport on September 25 to ratify the nornina tions to be made at the republican state con- vention in Hartford September IS. The club will have special car for the trip.

 Rochl s-r, Aug. 16.-Four thousand people went to the Driving park this afternoon to see the champion of mai- den trotters measure her worth beside the great son of Halford in the special race for ss000 and to see Robert J. strive later to lower his own record of 2:O5A and the track record of 2:O6 left by Johnson.
 The race was called at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon and just at the time when the sun shone warmest and the wind had gone down. The track had been beaten into the fastest possi- ble shape by the heats in the previous races and after the scraper had been run over 1t the conditions surrounding the trials for time were perfect. The first heat in which Robert J. and Fan tasy took part served its purpose as a warming up heat. The two travelled the circuit like team and went under tn wire nose and nose in 2:10 fiat.
 But it was when Fantasy made her magnificent performance that the grand stand trembled with the applause of the thousands. The maiden took the word on the second score down and flew to the quarter in 33 seconds fiat. Robert J urging her on by hanging at her
 wheel all the way. The half was reached in 1:04%, and then it was known that she would do 1t. At the half she began her star work and reached the three-quarters in 1862 and came on to the finish with a magnifi- cent burst of speed which carried her under the wire in 2:O7A.
 Robert J. came out for his race against time with Geers up and with a running mate to set the pace. On the word go the gelding fairly flew to the quarter in 30A and went on like streak to the half in 1:10k. From here he fairly out-raced his mate. passing the three-quarters post in :33 and going under the wire in 2:O4A, lowering his record by full second.
 There is no question that hetwould have done better if his mate had forced him. When Geers drove by the stand to salute the judges he was given an ovation.
