ryPEcIAL 20 THE PREss.J

Old Orchard, July 20.-The opening of
the July race meeting here today was
under the brightest auspices, in point of
weather. The track was in only fair
shape as a whole, though the first half
was like CREASED lightning. The 2.15
PAGERS slid over it at gaits rating from
2.O4 to 2.OS clip, only to be slow COM
ing home.
The attendance, was not over large, and
the racing somewhat monotonous, except
for the finish of the 2. Is trot, which was
enough to stir the blood of an anchorite.
This race brought a decided overturn
in public form, Kate T, the fast gray
mare in Gateombs string, fresh from a
notable victory at Mystic park, Medford,
being credited with the most speed at
the outset. The talent swore by her for
two heats and then, more from duty than
from a failing in love, turned to the con-
quering light of the race, Frank Pierson.
The latter is a western horse, brought
east early in June, and has been con-
stant winner on the Massachusetts cir
cult for over month. He allowed Ven
tura and Louis Victor, the exploded phe-
nomenon, to toy with the first two heats
until within striking distance of the wire,
when with rush, Pierson would slip by
them. mailing the heat.
In the third heat, Red Bud made the
argument and it was hot one. The
new conner will be recalled as the three
year-old trotter of 1895 who was star
| of his age at that time. He was put to
pacing in 1896, winning mark in the
low teens and this year is trotting again,
| though hitherto with very meagre success
| in winning money.
In this heat there was, as it were, a
| flush of what the horse public has expect
ed of him. He led to within 200 yards of
the wire, Frank Persons customary
brush at the finish having failed to down
him materially, though Frank was even
with him. At this juncture, with the
heat within reach, dash for the front
was ventured simultaneously by Dexter
K, the only Maine horse in the field.
Red Bud stepped in a hole and went to
pieces Dexter K and Ventura drew up
| on P1erson, gaining inch by inch, but
had two or three inches left unappropri
ated under the wire, giving the Pierson
the race. The three horses were practical
ly abreast at the finish, the judging be-
ing wire drawn measuring of differen.
ces.
| The 2.15 pacing race, with eight entries,
was a somwhat one-sided affair, won by
Winfield in three straight, the most strik-
ing feature being the remarkably. fast first
half of each of the miles. Fred Wilkes,
Kittie Van, Lorine and Winfield, in turn,
fairly burned that portion of the track,
but logged in coltentedly in rather
slow miles with Winfield an easy win
| ner.
| Winfield is also one of the much talked
of, but hitherto Disappointing, horses,
when the time for public performances
came. Today he was apparently fit to
race for the presidency, and fast as the
others were at times, they never could
shake him off.
Mr.. Frank B. Walker of Cleveland,
gave the best kind of satisfaction as start

AGAIN THE BLUE HILL COW.
B. Walker McKeen Tells What DIR. Smith
Didn't Say.

Augusta, July 20.--The well-known
Blue Hill case of alleged tuberculosis
in acow that was stated to Laye been the
cause of death of three children, some
weeks ago, still seems to rest unsettled
in the minds of some, and Secretary B.
Walker McKeen of the State Board of
Agriculture. says many erroneous re-
ports have been circulated. The recent
reports that Prof. Welch of Johns Hop
kins University had analysed parts of
the animal and found that she had chad
tuberculosis, revived the subject. being
an unexpected turn of affairs after the
testimony, including that of DR.. Charles
DR., Smith of Portland, who made very
careful examination of the COW, that no
signs of tuberculosis were present in
the subject. 1t has been stated that
Secretary McKeen was interested in the
matter and had parts of the cow sent
Professor Welch of Baltimore. He
states that he had nothing whatever to
do with having the parts sent to Profes-
sor Welch, as he had perfect confidence
in the report made that the COW did not
have tuberculosis which was made by
DR.. Smith and others, whose opinions
were indisputable. Mr.. McKeen says,
furthermore, that DR.. Smith has not
claimed that the specimens sent Prof
Welch were not from the COW under
question, but that they were not the
same tissues.

Waterville, July 20.-City Physician

MARCH OF TIE MINERS.
Progress Of Strange Campaign Of
the Strikers.
ATTENTION RIYETTED ON ALLISON
BOON AND ENTERPRISE MINES.

Men Now in Condition Bordering on Dos
peration and Sensational Developments
Are Expected-Strikers Prevent Men
From Loading Barges.
Pittsburg, July 20.-The attention of
the miners of the Pittsburg district is
now rivetted on the Allison, Boone and
Enterprise mines, near Canonburg. The
Boone and Allison mines which were
closed by the owners to prevent trouble
between their men and the marching
strikers resumed today with nearly a full
force. No attempt was made to start up
at the Enterprise mine. The strikers fear
that if these mines continue in operation
it will induce the Enterprise men to go
back to work. The programme of the
strikers is to make another march on the
Allison mine The leaders said this
afternoon that more than 1000 diggers
would be massed in the Panhandle dis
trict and another march made on the
mine.
Tonight the miners Of the Panhandle
districts were gathering above Bridgeville
and it will not be surprising if one
thousand miners are found on the Wash
ington pike this morning. The men in
the Millers and Toms run districts are all
idle, and have plenty Of time to make an
other march. They were supplying them
selves with several days rations and If
the proposed march is made they will stay
about the offending mines for several
days.
Just at this stage of the strike sensa-
tional developments are expected. The
men are beginning to feel the pangs Of
want, and are in a condition bordering
on desperation.
1t was learned today that organizers
have been secretly at work among the
miners of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal company for several days. One
of them was served with an injunction
to remain off the oompany's property, and
leave the men alone. AS near as can be
learned, concerted effort will be made
in the near future to bring out the men
at Turtle Greek, Sandy Greek and Plum
| Creek.
The coal market was quiet today. Much
coal was offered at $1.25 a ton. Slack
took big jump and sold for 85 cents a
| ton. Before the strike it was sold at 40
cents ton. A number of strikers inter
ferred with men who were loading from
barges into cars. The men were compelled
| to quit work.

Whose Horse Is This?
ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.l

Sanford, July 20.-When Joseph P.
Moulton, milkman, living about two
miles out of this village, returned from
his rounds Friday noon he found small
white horse harnessed to an express wagon
standing hitched to tree near his house.
Mr. Moulton didn't bother the animal
that night, but the next morning he was
there still. He then put him up in his
barn where he has still remained, no one
coming to claim him. The animal showed
evidence of having been badly beaten and
was half starved.

allow any men to work after Wednesday.
Just a Spark Wanted.

Pittsburg, July 20.-Cameron Miller re-
turned from Uniontown tonight and said
that instead of holding the meeting he
expected at Fairchance, he spent the day
in consultation with the labor leaders at
Uniontown. AS q result of tbs conference
it is announced that q mass meeting of
the miners in the coke regions will be
held at Scottdale on the 2Sth to consider
grievances peculiar to their own district,
which include the loading of "hump-
back" wagons, company stores, etc. Mr..
Miller says it needs but spark to infame
the miners in the coal region and secure
their cooperation in the great strike. .
Organizer Closed Mines.
MUniontown, Pa, July 20.-Through
the efforts of organizer Cameron Miller,
the miners at the Boyd coal works,
Hurst & Co., at Smocks Station and the
Linn coal works, struck today and the
mines are closed. These men quit last
week, but returned to work when the
companies granted the advance. All the
mines on the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston railroad, are now closed.

A VOTE This WEEK.

and VIII Have Outside Assistance
Enough to Pass It-Pacifc Railroad
Resolution May Delay Adjournment.
Washington, July 20.-The indications
when the Senate adjourned today were
that a vote would be reached upon the
conference report on the tariff bill some
time during Thursday, or at the latest be-
fore the close of the week. There may be
change in the condition which Will
postpone a vote, but it is difficult to see
what could cause it. The opposition to-
the bill realize that there is no possibility
of preventing the adoption of the report,
and their present purpose is only to secure
what advantage they can by exhibiting
what they claim are the inconsistencies OF
the measure.
1t is true that at one time they had
some hope of being able to secure the re-
conmittal of the bill, but a thorough
canvass reveals no foundation for this
hope. 1t develops the fact that the Repub-
licans will vote solidly for the report and
that they will be supported by Messrs.
Jones of Nevada, Silver Republican, and
McEnery Of Louisiana, Democrat, and
also probably Messrs. MANTLE Stewart,
Silver Republicans. They have also dis.
covered that Senator Kyle, Populist, who
is absent, has left strict instructions that
he should not be paired. With the
adoption of the report thus assured the
Democrats probably will not attempt to
prolong the debate beyond the arrival OF
Mr. Turley, the new Senator from Ten
neSsee.
They will continue to ask for an ex-
PLANTATION of changes made by the confer
enoe, but these will not occupy great
deal of time. The general opinion is that
very soon after the disposal of the tariff
bill, but the determination of the sup
porters of the. Harris Pacific railroad reso-
luton to secure vote on it before final
adjournment may delay that consumma-
tion for some days.

Washington, July 20.-The tariff con-
ference report was presented to the Sen
ate today, but little progress was made
on 1t beyond the formal reading OF about
two-thirds of the report. There was nc
indication of when the final vote would
be reached. During the day, Mr.. Tillman
Democrat of South Carolina, openly
threatened a fllibuster until next De
cember If cotton bagging and cotton ties
were not restored to the free list, but the
threat was regarded as somewhat face
tlous. THE sugar amendments occasioned
long debate, during which Mr.. Allison
stated that the conference rates were
lower than those of the Senate and largely
asconcession to the House. Senators
Vest, Jones, Berry and White questioned
this statement urging that the sugar
rus tssecured larger benefits from the con
ference schedule than from any previously
offered. The lumber amendment also

but there was little evidence of an ex.

Several of the Senators who have been

The gallery attendance was greater than
usual. On the desk before Mr.. Allison, in

that it was more important to protect

Spain than to pass tariff bill. If this
resolution was not considered now the
tariff discussion would cut 1t off.
With some reluctance, Mr.. Allison
agreed to let the resolution be considered
with the agreement that there should be
no debate and an immediate vote.
The important resolution was then put
on its final passage, and without com
ment and by unanimous vote was passed
without roll call.
The Vice President announced in re,

to go out, the army Of strikers that have
been marching from town to town per-
suading men at different points to quit
work left this afternoon for Belleville,
