No Decisions mt Chicago.

CHICAGO. Dec. 4.-The Board of Review
of the American Trotting Association be-
gan its annual Chicago meeting to-day and
will continue in session several days. The
only cases of interest to-day were one in
which the Cleveland PAGER, Octagon, record
2:27A, was the central figure, and the mat
ter of the pacing race between Anaconda
and ~Searchlight at the Indiana state fair,
In September last. The charge against Oc-
tagon was that the horse had been driven
in a race by a man who had been expelled
from the association.
In the Searchlight-Anaconda matter the
contract between the managers of the
horses and the indian State Board of Ag-
riculture was submitted. together with an
answer by the board to the application for
an order that the second money i'm the race
be paid to ~Searchlight, first money having
already gone to him by virtue of the fact
that he distanced Anaconda i'm the race.
The board took both cases under advise
ment, will consider them in executive ses-
sion and render a decision later in the
week.

LONDON, Dec. A special dispatch
from Han-Kow pass, dated Nov. 80, says
the Kalgan expedition was ineffective, the
Chinese evading all attempts to engage
them. The towns en- route were occupied
unopposed and some tolls Of skins and sill
yer were levied. The cavalry captured the
baggage of the retreating Chinese force at
Swen-Hwa-Fu, killed thirty of its guards
and secured 10000 taels. Three mandarins
VINO were instigators of the massacre of
converts at Tsi-Ming and twenty-three
Boxers were executed, but the Germans
generally ignored evidences of anti-foreign
activity. There are continuous disturb
ances in the interior, where, the dispatch
adds, a bad impression has been made by
the excessive withdrawal of foreign troops
and the complacence of the allies. The
missionaries anticipate a recurrence Of the

credit for China Baron Won R~ichthofen,
secretary of foreign affairs, informed Herr
