ROBERT J,S FAST MILE.
Makes Two Circuits of a Half Mile Track
 in 2;05 3-4.

Syracuse, N. Y, Aug. 26.-Thirty thousand persons attended the New York state fair here to-day. The spec- ial feature was the effort of John R. Gentry and Robert J. to lower the worlds record for half-mile tracks. Both horses failed in this, although John R. Gentry first lowered the state record made year ago on the same track by Joe Patchen, from 2:07A to 2:06A. Robert J. was ,flen brought out with E. R. Bowne up.
 The little gelding on receiving the word started off at fast clip. The first quarter was made in :31A, and the half in 1:01A, the worlds record for the distance on half-mile tracks. The old champion was here going at a 2:0314 pace and everyone expected to see him break the worlds record made by Joe Patchen at Combination park. Boston, year ago of 2:04a4, but he was not equal to the effort, tne third quar- ter being done in :3214, and the last one in :31A. The time for the heat was 2:O5at. which not only is the state rec ord for all kinds of horses for mile on half-mile tracks, but is also the worlds record for geldings for that distance on the same kind of track.

THE QUEEN TO HER TROOPS.
Victoris's Message to Her Fighting Sol
 dfers In India.

Simla, Aug. 26.-The Afridis attacked Fort Lundi-Kotal Tuesday The garri- son held it's own until 10 o'clock We'd nesday morning, when after sharp fighting, in which the native comman- der of the garrison was killed while gallantly leading his men, the enemy gained an entrance. The fight was continued two hours inside the fortifi- cation by the Khyber Rifles in the tow CTS at the angles of the fort, which was strongly built of stone. The Afridis lost heavily before they finally captur- ed the place. They footed the fort, cap- turing a quantity of supplies, and then burned the structure. The fact that no news has been received of the fate of the garrison leads to the belief that they succeeded in making terms before they surrendered.
 A message from the queen to the viceroy reads as follows:
 "I am grieved at the loss of my brave officers and men. I trust that the wounded are doing well. It is most gratifying to me to see how well my troops have behaved. The conduct of all of all my troops has been admira- ble. (Signed)
 VICTORIA"
 The message was received with cheers by the troops.

camp to start a movement to erect one. He cited the West Haven congregation Which last year bought lot and would soon build. Near that lot swedish congregation had their cottage, but as there was need of another lot the lat ter brethren dedicated the vacant lot Of the West Haveners, not knowing It was pre-empted. They held a service and thanked the Lord for the money Which they were sure He would send them to pay for the lot, and believed It would be theirs until evening, when they learned that their faith had em- braced the West Haveners property,
 Another speaker said that the house represented genuine self-sacrrifice. That the church was not financially un- hampered, and that he hoped this sacri- flee would be the means of great bless ing to the church.

1S,1eO FEET ABOYE SEA LBTEL.
Interesting Scientific Facts Learned bl
 Prince Luigi's Expedition.


 Victoria, B. C., Aug. 26.-The expedi- tion of Prince Luigi of Savoy to the summit of Mount St. Elias has fixed finally the altitude of Mount St. Elias at 1S,120 feet The expedition has also answered definitely questions asked by scientists as to whether or not St. Elias was a one time great volcano.
 There Is not the slightest indication of volcanic action anywhere. A new glacier was discovered by the explorers from the eninence of Mt. St. Elias between the Augusta mountains and Great Logan. It takes its course ap- parently to the sea and was named by the prince Colombo. Advancing up these glaciers and moraines took thir- ty-nine days.
 At Pinnacle Pass was found the first evidence of RussePs expedition in 1891, in the shape of tent bottom and a single rusty fork.
 The divide connecting Mt. St. Elias and Mount Newton was 5000 feet high. The Americans raised the Stars and Stripes over the camp there and Prince Luigi and his party cheered for the flag. At o'clock on the morning of July 31, they commenced the ascent of the great mountain. For eleven hours the upward climb was made and ex- actly five minutes before 12 o'clock the summit of St. Elias was beneath the feet of the explorers. There was neither wind nor fog and only 20 below freezing. The prince planted the Ital- ian flag on the topmost peak and photo graphed it. He then cached the Italian and American flags. The prince does not consider the ascent difficult. except for the last few hundred feet, which is a solid mass of ice

ANOTHER FLURRY IN WHEAT, Market Opened in a Wild Manner, but Later Cooled Of,

New York, Aug. 26.-The speculative attraction in grain to-day was the corn market A large crowd of brokers, most of whom were bulls, had buying orders which ran the total days busi- ness up to S80,000 bushels. A tip had been given out that corn was good for a big rise in the next few weeks. Many of the biggest operators are now interested in corn. Word came from Chicago that the corn ring there would not hold the crowd of traders who were trying to execute orders.
 The country is interested in the pre- dicted boom and bought freely to-day. When wheat sold off in the afternoon corn broke loose from it's higher priced companion and had a little bulge on it's own hook. Crop news is unmis- takably gloomy. The frost season is near at hand and from all accounts the grain is so far behind it's average growth at this time of the year that even with the most favorable weather from now on it will enter the danger period at a disadvantage.
 To-days news was exceptionally bullish and the Price Current filled out
 
 likely to be somewhat short of the years probable distribution. First prices to-day on September were 35% against 345s last night The level then shifted to 351a and after reaching 36ss in the afternoon closed firm at 36 or 1A@ss higher than last night. Cables were stronger
 The wheat market had rather wild opening, but cooled off in half an hour and was without important develop ment for the balance of the day. An early scare among September shorts furnished about the only sensa- tional feature. It opened strong at 102 fared up to 103% with scarcely a breathing spell and then drifted for the remainder of the day, touching 1O1% at the close. Total sales were 1885 00( bushels. December closed at 99 after having sold at 1001a earlier in the day As compared with last night the day closed with net advance of k@1B a | buShel

MORE COLD FROM RLONDIKE.
One Man Took $137 ,OOO Out of Fourteen
 Claims-3 900 Peonie in the District

Claims-3.O0O People in the District.
 Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. 26.-The schooner Fred E. Sanders arrived to- day thirty days from St. Michaels with six passengers from the Klondike They are: J. $. Dinsmore, a well known merchant of Eureka, Call Charles Vest of Portland, Ore; James Me- Nance, Juneau; J. Lowe, a well known miner of Puget Sound, and Henry Ash and wife of Dawson City. They intend to return in the spring.
 The total amount in nuggets brought by Sanders Is about $50,000; James Mc- Nance of Juneau, who is on his way to Bartlett Springs, Cal, probably made the luckiest strike among them. He took from his fourteen claims $137,- 900, but reinvested most of it.
 MT. McNamee said "There are about 3,500 people in the Klondike district and unless the Yukon steamers make an- other trip this year there will be a. shortage of provisvions at Dawson. The reports of rich strikes on the Stewart river are untrue. Bars pan out well, but no big strikes have been made there during the last twelve months. I think the entire Klondike district has not produced to exceed two million dol lars. Wages are $15 per day, but men desire to prospect for themselves. If we can get men next season I believe the district will produce eight million dollars"
 Joseph Lowe, an old time miner of Puget Sound, has claims near Circle City which he saws promise well uo states that Minook Creek, 25o miles be- low Circle City i'll American territory, has been attracting attention.

About sev- enty persons were present. The czar- ina occupied a position of honor in the center between the czar and President Faure. When the czar toasted Presi- dent Faure, he rose in solemn man. ner. paused moment, looked at the czarina and M. Faure and then in firm voice read his message of wei come.
 The entire party afterwards visited the Russian cruiser Rowya. President Faure was conducted over this vessel by the czar. The French president then bade farewell to his host, returned to the Pothuau and immediately put out to sea amidst cheers from the Russian sailors and the crowds ashore.
