A BIG CROWD
To Witness the Grand Circuit Races
at Columbus Yesterday.


COLUMBUS, O., August Five
thousand people witnessed the splendid
racing at the Columbus Driving Park
to-day. There was nothing sensation
al, but the sport was interesting. The
weather was clear and the track fast.
The first two events were decided in
straight heats. In the 2:10 pace Hetty
G.. was almost a prohiDitive favorite
and won with ease. The surprise OF
this race was the distancing OF Sidney
Pointer, the choice for second place in
the first heat. Hetty G. showed great
speed, pacing the last quarter o. tne
third heat in :29A. Coney, the speedy
black gliding who was barred in the
betting, won the 2:0S pace without any
apparent effort. The judges suspected
Free Bond was not being driven out,
but Miller, who was behind the bay
gelding, declared the horse could go
no faster.
The 2:19 trot furnished all the ex-
element and was the best race of the
day. 1t was won by Palm Leaf. On
ward Silver with Greers up, was favor
lite in the betting but lost through in
ability to keep his gait. Greers laid
up the best heat but carried the IA
vorite first under the wire in the sec
ond by a magnificent drive. In the
third Onward Silver broke in the
stretch and Palm Leaf took the heat.
The favorite landed the fourh heat cas-
lily but went off his feet again in the
fifth just before he reached the wire
and Palm Leaf took the heat. Greers
accepted a start two lengths behind
Palm Leaf in the final heat and though
he made a sensational drive at the nm
isn, was unable to head the leader.

cial TO the Commercial Gazette saws:
Tonight at the mouth of an aban-

The meeting was in charge of G. Clam

MORRISON RELIED UPON.

When it is remembered how great
reliance is placed upon DR.. Morrison
in England, the effect Of the exposure
OF the Chinese government can
scarcely be over-estimated. IL seems
to Danish all hopes entertained by
Salisbury that the Chinese govern
ment might yet be proved not directly
responsible for the outrage, and ii may
negotiations with Chinese diplomat
lists, If not in an open declaration of
war on the part OF the powers.
DR.. George Ernest Morrison is the
Pekin correspondent of the Times.
He has been heard from direct. The
Times this morning prints the follow
ing dispatch from him dated July 81:
There has been cessation of hos
tilities here (Pekin) since July 18th.
but for fear of treachery there has been
no relaxation Of vigilance. The Chi
nese soldiers continue to strengthen
the barbados around the beseiged
area and also the batteries on top OF
the imperial city wall, but in the mean
time they have discontinued firing
probably because they are short of am
munition.
The main bodies OF the imperial
soldiers have left Pekin in order 10
meet the relief forces. Supplies are be-
ginning to come in and the condition
of the besieged Us improving. The
wounded are doing well, Our hospital
arrangements are admirable and $50
cases have passed through the hospital.
The Tsung Ii Yamen forwarded to
Sir Claude Macdonald a copy OF des-
patch telegraphed by the emperor to
Queen Victoria, attributing all deeds
of violence to bandits and requiring
her majesty's assistance to extricate
the Chinese government from its diff

WAS OVER PEssIMIsTIC.

Yet Shanghai special says Ii Hung
Chang has received decree, dated
July %, commanding him to inform
the consuls that the ministers were
safe on that date. Evidently Sir
Claude Macdonald was over pessimis-
tic, as DR., Morrison, under date of
July Il, announces the arrival of sup
plies. In view of this it is quite with
in reason that the edict announcing the
safety of the ministers on he 2Sth is
correct.
Sir Claude MacDonald's latest letter
While a strong indictment of the Chi
nese government is not nearly so much
SO as DR.. Morrison's dispatch. That
correspondent with the imperial edicts
as authority declares that as late as
July 2, the imperial government urged
the Boxers to continue their royal and
patriotic services in exterminating the
Christians. He explains those marvel
Gus changes in the Chinese attitude
which have so puzzled the world. 1t
appears that all the appeals for inter-
vention and all the protestations of
friendship have been entirely due to
hte victories of the allies at Tien Tsfr.
The ministers in Pekin owed their safe
ty up to July 2lst, not to government
protection, but to the scarcity OF Chi
nese ammunition and to the fear which
Tien Tsin victories inspired.

ROME, August LIN the course of
his examination yesterday Bresci did
not deny that he had been designated
to assassinate King Humbert. 1t is
now believed here that the crime was
arranged in Paterson, New Jersey.
A man named Salvatore Quintavalli,
who returned from the United States
with Bresci and accompanied him to
an anarchist meeting in Paris, has
been arrested at the Rio Marina on
the Island of Elba. The police found
on him letters and photographs Of
anarchists. Anton Lanner, who &C
companied Bresci from the United
States, has been arrested at Iyrea In
consequence of these arrests the belief
in the existenc of plot is increasing
Bresci's brother, who is lieutenant
in the Italian army, stigmatizes the
crime as the most cowardly act of the
century He had had no news of his
brother for q long time, and thought
he was still in the United States.
Parliament has been summoned to
meet August 6.

to Ferrajo, a large crowd tried to take
him from the officers and lynch him. He

NEW YORK, August 1.-Captain Fish
er, of the Hobokep police, said to-day that
Mrs Bresci, wife of the assassin of King
Humbert, was in such a nervous condi-
ton that she had gone to the house OF a
friend for rest. The woman is destitute
She still tries 10 hope that the man ar
rested in Italy is not her husband. but she
admits that there is little reason for her
hope. She will be kept under police sur
