A Horse Without Driver Wins a Race

Columbus. Ohio, August 2.-The grand
circuit meeting opened here today. The
track was a few seconds slow on account
of rain the previous night. The most
sensational finish ever seen on the track
was witnessed in the third heat. Oil pace.
There were nineteen starters in this race.
Billy c., won the first two heats. In the
third heat there was a bad spill. in the
second quarter and the drivers of both
Billy C. and Nicol b. were thrown. Billy
G. stopped at the three quarters post. but
Nicol B1ackton went with the field, run-
ming wild. In the stretch the runaway
horse pushed ahead and followed behind
the sulkieS of Pearl Onward and Castle
ten. Just before reaching the wire. the
runaway passed in close to the rail and
the whole of the spectators held their
breath, expecting to see a smashup.
Nicol B. poked his head under the rail
just ahead of Pearl Onward. who won
the heat. The runaway horse slowed up
and turned at the first quarter when he
was caught by the stable man.

Lord Salisbury Speaks on the Peace NegO'
t%iatiOns

London, August 2-The Marquis of Sails
bury, replying in the house of lards to-
day, to the liberal leader. the Earl Of
as to the state of peace negotiations be-
tween Greece and Turkey. outlined the
status of the Co~nstantinOple exchanges Of
views, occasionally referring to them in
sarcastic tones. The premier said it was
no wonder that the patience of many peo-
pie was sorely tried by the delay. The
complexity and multiplicity of the nego-
tiatiOns, he added. might, however, ac-
count for their length.
Continuing, Lord salisbury explained
that the peace he was trying to arrange
was no ordinary agreement between a
conQuerOr and a conquered country. The
territory conquered by the Turkish army
al arrangements and, therefore. the pow
erS' voice in regard to its disposal was
recognized by the sultan. The latter was
right in demanding security against ex-
cursions, such as those which brought the
present war, and for that purpose a recti-
ficatiOn of the frontier on a strategic base
was a reasonable demand. 1t was also
reasonable to hold that the Greek COM
munities should not be placed under
Turkish rule.
The premier further asserted that her
majesty's ministers believed those ques-
tiOns had been settled and that Turkey
had accepted the frontier line traced by
the military attaches of the embassies
of the powers. though the premier shared
Lord Kimberly's doubts.
Speaking of the indemnity to be paid to
Turkey by Greece, the premier said
, There comes in the mysterious and diff
cult question of the German bond-holders
We do not think that any international
payments. though 1 admit they have been
long unpaid"

day afternoon H. p. Owens. one of the
best linotype operators, and Sunday
foreman of The State. met with a fear-

engine.
His arm and head went through. and
were crushed between the ironwork
and the spoke, stopping the engine.
Fellow employees had to back the wheel
to release him. One of the vertebrae
in his neck was dislocated, and he was
otherwise badly injured. He remained
conscious, strange to say, almost to the
time Of his death.

Notification of Order as to Prize Tickets
in Tobacco Packages

Washington, August "A mOdifca-
ton Of the circular of instructions to
collectors of internal event has been
made. These instructions declare that
"all packages of smoking tobacco, fine
cut chewing tobacco or cigarettes, con-
tanning articles prohibited by section
10 of the new tariff act, or having such
articles attache3 connected Herewith,
or advertising any promise or offer
of gfiift, reward OF prize, contrary to
the provision of the new act, are sub
ject to SEIZURE" The new order directs
that all violations Of this section Of
the act be reported to the commissioner
of internal revenue, but no seizure shall
be made without specific Instructions
from him. Some question has arisen
as to the power of the department in
the premises. The contention is made
that congress has no power to fix by
law regulations governing the packing
of articles subject to internal revenue,
unless in some way the power or con-
venience of the government in the col
lection is affected; also that this pro-
vision is in restraint of rad and inter-
feres with legitimate business. Until
the department has determined the
question, no seizures will be made
under this provision of the law.

Another Ultimatum to Turkey Necessary

ent indications the powers will be COM
PEELED to send mother ultimatum to
Turkey. The action Of Tewfk Pasha sub
hitting a series of amendments to the

at Saturdays sitting of the ambassadors
is regarded as meaning a delay of two or
three weeks in the signing Of the pre-.

thought ii will possibly necessitate anoth
