GRIND Circuit Races

Glenn's Falls, N. Y, Aug IA heavy
track and lowering skies caused a post
ponement of today's meeting until four
O'Clock. at which time the unfinished 2:19
trot postponed from yesterday, was call
ed. Lady Geraldine won the two neces-
sary heats handily, with Frank Kremer
second. The 2:04 pace, the event of the
meet and day, was next called and fur
nished a race unparalleled on the local
track. Frank Bogash took the first heat,
Searchlight the second and Anaconda,
the favorite in the betting, the third,
each heat being in a driving fashion. The
fourth was the heat of the day. The
three racers went to the half as one
horse, and the result was not apparent
until they reached the last of the home
stretch, when Searchlight forged ahead,
with Anaconda a length behind and b.
cash at his wheel. The track was easily
a full four seconds slow. Had it been in
its usual condition remarkable time
would have been posted, as in the fourth
heat the quarters were 80, l O3 ga, 1885,

SIR ARTHUR SULLI-
VAN IS DEAD
MOST POPULAR OF MODERN COM
POSERS-DIED OF HEART
FAILURE.

London, Nov. 22-Sir Arthur Sullivan,
the famous musical composer, is dead.
His death was very sudden and occurred
at his residence shortly after 9 o'clock
this morning, when he was stricken with
heart failure. He expired in few min-
utes. He had been ailing for some time,
but it was not believed his heart was
affected. Recently he had been in better
health than for some weeks past.
Later it became known that Sir Arthur
Sullivan had been ailing since he re-
turned from Switzerland, in the middle
of September. He caught a chill there
and his chest and lungs became affect
ed. He took to his bed fortnight ago,
but was convalescing and sitting up in
his bed just before he expired.
The afternoon newspapers print long
eulogies of the deceased.

CONGER PREJUDICED.
Chinese Deserve Punishment, but
Judgment Must be Used.

New York. Nov. 22.-Accorddng to q
special from Washington to the Herald,
Minister Conger's despatch to Secretary
Hay, asserting his belief that the pun
ishment of Chinese leaders imposed by
the decree issued by the Chinese gov
ernment, is not adequate, is opposed to
the opinion held by the president and
secretary of state. Another important
development in the situation is that Ger
many has proposed that, as a condition
to continuing the negotiations, China
be compelled to execute the eleven
princes and officials alleged to be re-
sponsible for the Chinese outrages. This
conditions is very distasteful to the ad-
ministration, which is expected to take
steps to secure it's modification. Mr.. Con-
gers message was in response to an in
quiry from Secretary Hay, sent immedi-
ately after the presentation OF the decree
to this government by Mr.. Wu. The Sec
retary cabled that the United States did
not intend to pursue a policy Of ven-
geance, but because of Mr.. Conger's ex-
perience, the administration left in his
hands the determination of whether the
punishment imposed was adequate. Sec
retary Hay also urged him to take into
full consideration the attitude Of the Chi
nese and the ability of the imperial gov
ernment to carry out more severe sem
tences. 1t is evident to the officials that
the siege through which Mr.. Conger and
other ministers went last sum-
mer angered them against the Chinese
and caused them to be foremost in de-
manding blood expiation. In the hope of
deterring Mr.. Conger from any ideas
of vengeance, Mr.. w. w. Rockhill was
sent to Pekin as his advisor. 1t is an
open secret that the authorities would
have preferred the reference of the ne
gptiations to committee formed of COM
missioners, three in number, appointed
by each power, but this plain failed of
realization. Germany proposed that as
a condition precedent to negotiation, the
Chinese government be compelled to sur
render the first and real perpetrators
of crimes committed against interna-
tional law. The response of the United
States that it could not join in a de-
mand of this character, that China should
be afforded an opportunity y, to punish
the criminals, and that provision for
their punishment should be made in the
negotiations for final settlement. The
president is considering the new German
proposition, and he will probable decline
to agree to 1t, suggesting modification
that may lead to a satisfactory solution.
An official said that as some of the men
condemned by the ministers are power
full princes and officials, controlling Chi
nese forces, it is plain that unless the
imperial government, deslrous of carry
in" the ultimatum of the foreign repre-
sentatives is able to arrest the culprits
quickly, they are likely to combine in
their own defense. The possibility is sug-
gested that they might kill the emper-
or Such an act would be signal for
an antiforeign outbreak all over China.
and would have consequences which the
authorities hesitate to contemplate.
