TRACK AND TURF
Trotting Begins at Oakland Today
Aqueduct Races

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30.-Unless all
signs fail the coming season of light har-
ness racing which will be inaugurated to-
morrow at the Oakland track will afford
exceptional opportunities for the "short
enders'' to attend the races with pleasure
and profit.
Old timers say that this Is the first yea1
in a decade when there were SO many
green horses engaged for the circuit. Prac-
tically every stable has some unknown
| phenomenon which it proposes to uncover
at the proper time, and as the various sup
posed equine wonders have been prepared
in different parts of the State, each owner
is in ignorance of the kind of horse his
rival has in store for him.
Yesterday was the banner day Of the
week for arrivals. no less than eight diff
ferent strings appearing at the scene of the
approaching speed contests.
The largest stable on the circuit is that
of Jimmy Sullivan, comprising thirteen
horses, the one having the fastest mark
| being the PAGER Loupe, 2:09a4. He is not
entered at the Oakland meeting, but is be-
| ing conditioned SO as to be ready for any
free-for-all events that may be given at
some of the principal points on the circuits.
| The strings of Owens Bros. and C. A.
Short of Fresno left late in the afternoon.
| The promoters are arranging for a spe-
cial race for next Friday. which is destined
to bring forth the top-notchers of the
trotting division now in training for the
California circuit. All eligible to the 2:1a
class can enter for the event.

HEBREWS ORGANIZING
TO ERECT A GOVERNMENT IN
PALESTINE
If Turkey Will Not Sell the Province
the Company Will Go to
Argentina

NEW YORK. July Boa dispatch to
the World from London says:
| The representatives of the Baron
Hirsch charities here seem to take very
seriously the scheme of DR.. Theodore
Hertzel of Vienna for the formation OF
an independent Jewish state in Pales-
tine. 1t is stated that the Hebrews
are organizing in all parts Of the world.
The doctor intends to send an explor-
ing expedition to thoroughly overhaul
the land from end to end, and to estab-
lsh telephones, telegraphs, and other
modern scientific conveniences before
opening the territory to general settle
ment.
To obtain sovereignty over Palestine
he says will be easy, as the Turks will
be glad to let it go. He points to his
decoration by the Turkish government
as evidence that it thinks favorably of
his scheme. If Turkey should refuse to
give Palestine up, he says that the OF
toman empire surely will disintegrate,
and the Jewish company can obtain Pal
estine when the powers divide up the
Turkish empires territory.
If it proves impossible to get Palestine
he will turn to Argentine. To confer on
this point a congress will be held at
Balse August 10. The doctor says there
is no doubt this congress will be the
redeemer of the Hebrews. There is no
intention to follow socialistic lines. He
proposes a limited monarchy like that
of Great Britain. The capital of the
Jewish company is said to be $3.50 900, 900

Hampton's INSPECTION

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3O.-General
Wade Hampton, United States Commits
sioner of Railroads, is here on his annual
inspection tour of the Governmental aided
lines. Gen. Hampton, in the course Of his
official duties, manages to make thor
ough inspection of the physical condition
of the railroad properties, in which the
Government is interested. Thus far he has
found the physical condition of the prop
critics to be fully up to the standard, and
after the accountant of the commission
makes his annual inspection of the books
and accounts of the companies, Gen. Hamp-
ton will make his report to Congress and
recommend such measures as he may deem
wise for the protection of the Govern
ments interests.

| 1889. both inclusive, are as follows: Oc-
tober. SS degrees; November, s.; Decem-
Der. II degrees below zero; March, 6
above; April. 20 above. The daily mean
temperature fell and remained below the
freezing point (S3 degrees) from Noven-
Der A. 1889, to April 81. 1890, thus giving
1853 days as the length of the closed sea-
son of 1SS9-90. assuming that outdoor
operations are controlled by temperature
only.
The lowest temperatures registered
during the winter were 80 degrees below
zero in November, Al below in December,
50 below in January, SIS below in Febru-
AIRY, 45 below in March and 26 below in
April.
The greatest continuous cold was in
February, 1880, when the daily mean
for five consecutive days was Al degrees
below zero.
Greater cold than that here noted has
been experienced in the United States
for a very short time, but never has 1t
continued so cold for SO long time. In
the interior of Alaska snow begins az
early as September, when snow storms
may be expected in the mountains and
passes. Headway during one of these
storms is impossible, and the traveller
who is overtaken by one of them is
indeed fortunate if he escapes with his
life
The changes of temperature from win
ter to summer are rapid owing to the
great increase in the length of the day.
The mean summer temperature in the
interior doubtless ranges between 60 and
70 degrees, according to elevation, being
highest in the middle and lower Yukon
valley.
A SYNDICATE SCHEME
NEW YORK, July S0.-The Herald to-
day says: One of the most novel of the

developed by syndicate of four wealthy
New Workers, who are planning to estab-
fish trading posts and stores in the min
ing camps and also to purchase all prom
Using claims on the market They will
transport their men and supplies to the
gold fields especially for this purpose.
The members of the syndicate prefer
that their names shall not be mentioned at
present. They have no stock to sell and
will furnish all the money required them
selves. Their attorney is Henry F. Gran
ger of "a Broadway.
AS Mr.. Granger outlined the plan. the
enterprise would be under an extensive
plan. He will meet mining expert in Sc
attic and will dispatch him at once to the
gold fields. we'll supplied with money to
buy up all promising claims in the mar
ket. The attorney will also talk with re-
turning miners and gather all the informa-
ton possible. If it is possible to buy or
charter freight steamers on the Pacific
coast at anything like their true value, he
will invest in two or three. II the trans
portation companies have got control of all
available vessels, however, they will be
bought here on his return and dispatched
at once around the Horn.

Brazilian Battles

NEW YORK, July 30.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Rio de Janeiro gives further
details of the fight al Canudos. From these
advices it is evident that the first report
was not exaggerated, and in fact did not
tell the full extent of the fanatic victory.
These later reports state that the Govern.
ment troops lost large part Of their ar
tillery in the battle, and that the guns in
good order are now in the possession of the
fanatics. Those of the artillerymen who
were not killed by the side of their guns
were forced to retreat before the onslaught
of the fanatics, leaving their guns behind
them.

GRECO=TURKISH TERMS
ARE FULLY AGREED ON BY THE
POWERS
Signature Only Awaits the Setting of
Dates for the Payment Of the
Indemnity

PARIS, July 30.-A dispatch to the
Temps from Constantinople says that
the signing of the preliminaries of peace
awaits only the reply of the Greek gov
eminent fixing the dates for the pay
ment of the indemnity.
Besides providing for rectification of
the frontier in accordance with the plans
of European military attaches and for
an indemnity of 100000 the treaty
directs that a mixed commission of del
egates of the powers and of Turkey shall
fix the compensation due Ottoman sub
jects for losses through the war.
The question of capitulations is left
to be settled by Greece and Turkey be-
fore the conclusion of definitive peace.
The evacuation of Thessaly is made con-
ditional upon the full discharge of the
indemnity. AS soon as the treaty is
signed, says the Temps correspondent
the European military attaches and the
members of the Ottoman staff in Thes-
sally will meet there to delimitate the
frontier.
TURKISH TEMPER
CONSTANTINOPLE July 30.-It is
reported here that Lord Salisbury, the
British prime minister, has telegraphed
urging the immediate withdrawal of Ed

the Turkish forces, from Thessaly. The
Turks are very angry and accuse the
British government of trying to jockey
them out of Thessaly without compenea-
ton being made.

Seeding CYCLISTS
SAN FRANCISCO, July 30.-President
A. p. Swain of the California Associated
Cycling Clubs has received information
which shows that the cyclists of Portland
are in earnest in their recently expressed
wish to break away from the League OF
American Wheelmen and affiliate with the
California Association.
The leagues control of racing in the
Northwest is not at all satisfactory to the
racing men, the clubs or the dealers. and
one of the first things the new branch will
do will be to promote meets at which the
riders will be treated fairly. They also
desire the privilege of racing on Sunday
IL they wish, which is denied them under
the league rules. but which is optional
under the c. A. c. c. bylaws. There are
a great many speedy riders in the North
west and the managers of the proposed
meets have rightly concluded the great in
terest would be manifested If they could
be seen in competition with the stars of
California cycledom. To secure the latter
was an easy task, as the rates to Portland
are very cheap, and the very liberal prize
lists offered by the Portland promoters
have been the means of inducing all the
prominent California professionals to sig
