WORLDS RECORD BROKEN.
Interesting Events in the Grand
Circuit Races.

Cleveland, July 24.-AnOther worlds
record was made today in the grand
circuit races at the Glenville track,
when the black gelding Coney, by Nc
Kinney paced the second heat Of a
race in 2.02&.
This is the fastest mile ever paced
by a horse in hOpples. Frank Bogash
has held the record for three years at
2.04h. 1t was also the fastest mile
ever paced on the Glenville track.
What made the performance of ConCy
all the more remarkable was the fact
that he logged under the wire. 1t was
the second heat of the 2.OG pace, purse
$1,000, best two in three. Prince Albert
won the first heat in 2.Oj12, and in the
second heat was leading at the half,
which was covered in lOOR. Then
COney cut loose at the thrce-quarters
whicn was made in 1.3l&. He had
caught Prince Albert and he was go-
ing so fast that McHenry pulled him
down, and he logged under the wire an
easy winner in 2.02&, Coney took the
third heat and race i'm 2.O4A. There
were eleven horses in the race.

FANATICS DOMINATE.
Situation Along the Line of Railroad
at Khabarovsk Is Serious.

st. Petersburg July ga dispatch
which has been received here from
General Grodekoff at Khabarovsl,
dated July %, reports that the steamer
Odessa, which left Charbn, July 16
brought tidings of the Russian force
that left Te-Lin, July II, en- route to
Charbin. 1t appears the 200 men start
ed with a large convoy Of Chinese
Christians. After constant fighting,
which was often at close quarters and
with bayOnets, they were again at
tackled by Boxers, July II.
The Russians lost heavily, and ran
short of ammunition. At last accounts
they were threatened by $1,000 Boxers.
Engineer Jugovitch, at Charbin hal
found it impossible to send efficient
help, as he required all his available
forces to defend Charbin, which place
contained thousands of unarmed en-

been concentrated from along many

London, July 24.--The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Times, telegraphing
Monday, says:
I'm an interview. today Ii Hung
Chang reiterated his statement that if
the Manchu party had been guilty of
| the horrible treachery involved in the
| massacre of the members of the lega-
tions he would absolutely refuse to at
: tempt to negotiate. He said the pres
ent intention of the tsung Ii yamen
| was to memorialize the Empress Dow
ager to revictual the legations and
then to arrange to send them to Tien
| Tsin under the escort of General Sun
Wad Lin. He declared that the fight
| ing had ceased and that the foreign
| troops were holding a position south
| of the Yu Ho bridge, while General
| Tung Flu Tiahs' force were on the
| north.
Earl Ii expressed the intention to
wait for news of the movement of the

| he believed China's finances would de-
bar her from paying indemnity and
that the people would never submit to
further anneXations of territory. He
thinks the powers ought to accept as
surances of n reformed administration
and the removal of the officials re-
| sponsible for the crisis.
obviously Ii Hung Chang has not
changed his views or his methods
while the puerility of his arguments is
increasing with age. The impression is
gaining ground here that the Manchus
are tempOrizing while preparing to re-
treat to Hsian Flu. A confidential
member of his staff says that Earl l.
will not go north until he is convinced
that the Empress Dowager has seer
the folly of her present policy"
The Hong Kong correspondent of the
Times says, before leaving, Ii Hung
Chang countermanded his order for the
Black Flags to march on Pekin and
that they are now encamped outside
of Canton.

Colorado VS.. Switzerland.

Switzerland, THE playground of Eu-
rope" is visited annually by over 49,
600 American tourists and invalids.
Why?
While the Alps have isolated peaks
such as Mont Blanc Q5,7S1 feeD, and
the Matterhorn Q4,S36 feeD, the mean
elevation of the highest Alpine chain
is from only 5000 to 1900 feet. Colo
RADIO possesses more than 120 peaks
over 13,500 feet in altitude, of which
no fewer than thirty-fVe peaks range
from $4,000 feet upward. In the whole
of Europe, there are not over twelve
mountain peaks of note
The highest village i'm Europe is
Ayers Platz in Switzerland $500 feeO
the highest inhabited point in Europe
Is the HOspiCe of st. Bernard i'm
Switzerland N2OO feeO. In Colorado
the mining town of Ioadville, with
1900 inhabitants is 1O.?OO feet above
sea level; other mining camps are still
higher and some gold and silver mines
are worked at an altitude of over H.
600 feet.
The highest wagon road in Europe
is said to be the Stelyo Road in Swift
zerland C9,l70 feeO. In Colorado the
railroads cross the crest of the COnti-
nent at Fremont Pass Q1, ,32S feeO,
Marshall Pass Q0S52 feeD and Ten
ncssee Pass G0433). Switzerland does
not possess, even in the famous st.
GOthard line, any railroad engineering
surprising, if equaling, these. There
are wagon roads over numerous passes
in Colorado ranging from 1900 feet
upwards, the highest being Mosquito
Pass Q3,7O0 feeD.
In Switzerland the cog-railroad from
Nitznau to the summit of the Rigi
Kuhn $500 feeD has a length of four
and half miles. in which the ascent
is 4,O72 feet. In Colorado the cog rail-
road from ManitOu to the summit OF
Pixies Peak Q4147 feeD has a length
of eight and three-quarter miles, in
which the ascent is S,1OO feet, or an
average of SAC feet per mile, the maxi
mum grade being 1920 feet.
One class of Swtzerlands finest
scenery is along the Via Mala the
Schyn Pass and Urneroch. In Colo
RADIO, the Canon of the Arkansas with
the Royal Gorge, the Black Canon of
the Gunnison the Canon of the Rio
de las Animas, the Canon of the
Grand River and others, are all much
longer, quite as grand as and more
varied in character than the best
passes in switzerland. The walls OF
the Canons Of the Grand River, the
Gunnison ana the Arkansas rise to a
sheer height of more than 1000 feet.
AS Colorado can be reached by at
least one railroad-the Burlington-in
one night from either Chicago or st.
Louis, it is hard to understand why
more Americans do not travel West
instead of East in search of health and
pleasure.

TO THE
EMPER0R'S APPEAL


day, without a surgeon to attend their
wounded, and were unable to move or
help the wounded, who were without
food and drinking the canal water.
They had exhausted their ammunition,
except a few rounds which were re-
tanned in order to repel a charge if 1t
should be made. None expected to es-
cape. a few reaching the rear re-
ported that half Of the command had
been killed or wounded, including heat
prostrations in the estimate.
After the Americans had retired
under cover of the darkness, they
struggled back in squads all night,
pitifully exhausted and carrying their
wounded. The Americans hospital
was crowded and short of surgeons,
there having been no expectation of
such losses.
Today squads searched the fields,
collecting the dead and wounded Col
onel Liscum's body was escorted to
a boat this evening by two battalions
of English troops, with general and
a colonel at their head. Lieutenant
Colonel Coolidge, who is now command
ing the regiment and Major Lee were
of the marine corps read the service
at the canal lock. The body will be
shipped to San Francisco The total
losses of the allies were about 500. The
British lost so. The Japanese estimate
their killed at so and wounded at $50.
The Russians estimate their casualties
at 15O. All day long the work of bring
ing in the dead and wounded was con-
tinued.
Japs Were the Heroes.
The japanese were the heroes of the
battle. Their fighting was remarkably
brave, and was praised by all their
colleagues. When some of the foreign
| officers counseled retreat last night,
the japanese general said: when my
men move It will be forward"
This morning they charged the
| breaches in the wall made bv the ar
tillery and fought hand to hand in the
streets. Their conduct after the fight
| was equally good, as they refrained
| from lootinE while some of the Eu
ropean soldiers were having an orgie.
Hundreds of dead Cinnamon cover
| the walls and streets. Fifty guns
| were captured. The place is full of
munitions of war. Many fires have
| been started and most of the city will
| probably be burned.
| The Chinese are retreating toward
| Pekin.

Brussels July 2l.-In the chamber Of
deputies today the minister of foreign
affairs, NJ De FavereaJ, read a tele-

Meanwhile, the Belgium govern

DARK PLOT AT PARIS.
A Plan to Assassinate a Member of

Paris, July 24.-It has just leaked out
that a plot existed at the end of June
to assassinate the Chinese minister
here, Yu Kcng, or a member of the
legation at Paris. The secretary of the
legation, Major Parma, an Italian, in
an interview today, admitted that a
report in circulation to the effect was
true. Major Parma says:
six men, whose nationality has not
been established. couspired to secure
entry to the legation and assassinate
with knives a member of the legation.

MEXICo's BIG BOOM.

J W. Byrnes, president Of the
international creosoting company,
has returned from a trip through
Mexico. lie says the business ac-
tiyity ana general prosperity in
Mexico are marvellous.
"ln mining, in the establish
ment of manufactures, in general
building, in railroad construction
and in harbor improving" said
Mr.. Byrnes, Mexico is today
making tremendous strides; moth.
ing that / have ever seen in this
country can compare with it.
Everything is whooping. So
much is going on that it is hard to
tell what branch leads. In the
City Of Mexico there is hardly
block in which some sort OF con-
structive work is not in progress.
Railroads are being built in
every direction in the republic, and
a. for harbors, what has been done
and what is being done would make
a long story. Vera Cruz used to
be one Of the most treacherous Of
harbors. Today it is perfect. 1t
has been transformed at an expense
Of nearly s2O,OOO,0O0 silver, but 1t
now offers the safest Of refuge to
vessels Of any draft. A great wall
has been built across the northern
end Of the harbor and now the
northers, that formerly made the
harbor a graveyard for vessels, are
harmless. There are 80 feet OF
water in Vera Cruz harbor now
aud the anchorage is smooth. -
