TURF CONGRESS- MEETS.
Hot Fight Results Over Change in
Race Meeting Dates.

SntCdSO, sept. ZU.--AI Z CLOCK In1S
morning the American Turf Congress,
til 10 a. m. today. Just before adjourn
racing dates in Chicago and St Louis
to the time between June 10 and October
26, apportioning the rest of the time to
southern tracks, thus giving them no OPP
position. This measure was proposed
year ago, but failed of its purpose Last
night, when everything was going
smoothly and the local men We're prac-
tically off their guard the measure was
brought up and passed by a vote of
to 5.
This vote came only after an hour of
filibustering and protest from the Chi
cago, St. Louis and New Orleans delega-
ed president, hurriedly called another to
the chair, that he might argue against
the measure. But the representatives of
the smaller tracks had counted noses
in advance and knew where their ma
jority stood, so all efforts to defeat the
rule was unavailing. Finally the local
men and their allies secured an adjourn
ment until this morning at 10 o'clock,
when the defeated faction will endeavor
to secure a reconsideration

GOOD NEWS FOR DAWSON.

Private advlceS were brought up on the Humboldt tha. there win be general election ln Canada in June, and that the Yukon scandals will be unhinehinglv used us weapon against the government. What lS called the "erowning iniamv" ot he ,iberllS s the law withdrawing all plae-r grounds from l)cB,ion or relocation. This Is materially lnjuring this SelSon's travel through Slagwey, and will also Dc felt later on, when navigation opens. Both Canadisns and Americans are asking them selves wha, use li Is to journey 10 the far' of klondlke. IS thev may not locate claim when they gst there, and they know there are already men enough In the inside to do all the wO,N, wlth wages none too liberal. And the lands so withdrawn from locatlon are to ee sold by auction for the bench, oi the government or given away ln concessions In return for political favors.
 This has particular force in regard to the woiklngm1n, on whom new eountrv has to depend 50 largely for lts rapid develop ment. The capitalist Is also shut out by the ilhberai laws passed bv the llheral government. When Sir ChaS. Tupper was ln London as Cansda'S representative he ;abled the inquiry whether he could not assure London investors ,ha, the royalty of ten per cent. would be taken off. and Minister Sift>U unequivoeallv answered "No." Several times the conservatives have opposed the royalty, so that it ihev get into power they are bound to take lt of, and this position VII strengthen thelF sauSe. and, It Is stated, will ensure their election and the defeat of SlftOn and all hls hosts.
 Slfton Is now in Germany under an ex> pert aur,st. being treated for his deafness, but there are rumoIs at Ottawa thlt he left to avoid hearing wha, would be forced upon him. For Canada, in regard 10 the Yukon territory. Is h much the same po- siion and condition as British Columbia Is as to Atlin. In both Instances unSeru- pulous politicians started In to gather the ---ti-- s-- sA-----i.--- --.s -hss. s.sss sA--- entitled to them. and now the thoughtful sec how this grabbing system has retarded progress and the development that would have ultimately been much more beneficial.
 lt Is Sald the conservatives are certain 10 De victorious at the coming election, and that therefore the royalty on klondike gold digging will be taken Of. And if Joe Martin IS defeated In British Columbia, which seems equally certain, the Atlin alien law will be repealed. But it Is aues- tionable if these remedial measures, lf passed, will not come too late 10 be of ma terial benefit. although in regarl to Dlw> son the removal Ot the royalty would have 70 influence on capital and might lead to extensive investments. How English cap iialiSis Dow regard it is shown by the fact that there was only one klOndike mining proposition taken ue during the whole of Jas, SeaScn.
