RAGING AT sHEEPsHEAD.
David Garrick Wins the Annual Cha m
pionship Stakes Over Etheibert.
(By. Associated Press .ssss...-5s.

s Ntosfs YORK, Sept S.-The last Of the
Coney Island Jockey Clubs fall meeting
at Sheepshead Bay attracted a biz half
holiday crowd. An interesting card was
offered for decision, with the annual cham
ptonship Stakes of $4,000 and the Great
Eastern Handicap of $500 as the features.
s Soth furnished stirring struggles, and
more than the usual amount Of excitement.
David Garrlck, at the liberal price of 2 to
4, won the annual championship, beating
the odds-on favorite Ethelbert a neck in
a hard drive, while Duero was third, only
neck away. Time, 1856, was fast, and
constitutes new track record, the old
mark of 3:5S having stood since 1852, made
by Hindoo with los pounds up
Unfortunately the result left an unsatis-
factory feeling, as spencer's riding on
Ethelbe-t was very bad, indeed, and good
judges say the best horse did not win.
Jack Joyner trains both David Garrickzand
Ethelbert, and there was much unfavorable
comment after the race.

RUSSIA ATTACKED ALONE.

copyright 1900 by The Associated Press.)
PARIS, September S.-France is in
dilemma Russas proposition to with
draw from Pekin has resolved itself into
a problem for her, which French States
men are now tackling very gingerly. The
complete withdrawal from Pekin. after
careful consideration is now deemed not
to be altogether in line with Frances in
.terests.
France is now forced to choose between
the course she would rather adopt and the
policy dictated to her by the Russian
alliance; and French state-craft has been
devoted for the past week to an endeavOr
to splice these two conflicting policies into
a compromise, which will not jeopardize
her friendship with Russia and at the
same time will not prejudice her own
position in China
A PICKED FORCE.
The suggestion therefore. that while
the bulk Of the troops be withdrawn from
.Pekin a small International force be still
retained in the city, comes as a peculiar
ly acceptable idea to France. Russia
and Germany appear to be the only
serious stumbling blocks in the way Of a
general acceptance Of this compromise,
the first named desiring the total with
drawal of the allied forces and the latter
wishing continued occupation.
Should the proposal fall through and
Russia and America withdraw all their
troops, France would undoubtedly follow
suit. It would be too rude a shock to
the Russo-French alliance for France to
abandonsher ally and remain in Pekin
with, as her associates, her hereditary
enemies England and Germany. The
French Government appreciates the grea t
element Of wisdom in the aNuscoyite pro-
posal recognizes that a continuance of the
present form OF occupation would prevent
early direct negotiations with the En-
press Dowager, who fears to return to
the capital. and that. moreover. the adj.
ministration of the affairs sof the city
would throw immense responsibility and
labor upon the Europaan commanders.
A BIG JOB.
They would need to undertake the proper
policing of Pekin. with its millions OF in
hahtarts, all of whom are nowsfilled with
hatred for the foreign devils to arrange
sanitary and fire precautions. and an end
aless list Of other municipal details.
The provisioning of and keeping open
communication from seacoast for a big
force in Pekin during the winter, when
The country is snoW-covered and frozen,
also presents a problem of extreme diff
Guilty.
Another move which would impeI France
TO follow Russia. if the latter withdraws
her troops. Is the fact that the French
forces would therebvsayoid remaining ln-s

here in May following, accompanied
by one of my boys, bringing with US
two teams of horses, implements, etc.

general TRADE HOLDS FIRM.
Demand Large for This Season
of the Year.
FEW UNAVOIDABLE FEATURES.
Business of the New Year May Sur
pass That of the Old-January Trade
las Been Exceptionally Hea,y-The
Failures.

New York, Jan. 2a.--CraGS.rec..'s
says:
General trade and prices as a whole
maintain the even balance which has
been the leading feature for some time
past and in which it will require the
advent of distinctly new features to
effect any basic changes. General de-
mand is large for this season of the
year, but speculation is quiet to the
extreme of dizziness in some lines, and
especially in those branches OF specu-
lation which go radically to affect
financial affairs. Close examination of
leading lines of industry fails to show
marked unfavorable features. The iron
and steel industry, justly regarded as
a trustworthy index of general trade,
is still actively employed on old or
ders. Other metals are rather strong
er, copper and tin being weak. Cereals
IRE dull in nearly all directions. Coffee
is active. Cotton goods are meeting
with good demand on spring account.
Fine woods are at about the highest
point reached in twenty years. Lumber
is strong"
r. G. Dun's weekly review of trade
says:
Whether the new year will surpass
or keep pace with the old is the
question which gives especial in
terest to every weeks returns
Comparing now with business by
far the largest and most prosper
Gus ever known, year ago,
more than 40 per cent larger than in
January, 1898, which in its turn had
shown heavier business than in any
year preceding, it cannot be expected
that such gain will be repeated. But
the decrease of sc per cent in pay
ments through clearing houses is Who'll
ly due to the great speculative activity
at New York last year.
Perhaps the most important in
dustrial event is the marketing of
wooden goods at prices averaging 1874
per cent higher than last year. Sales
in three weeks, 14,920,S0O pounds, have
been smaller than in the corresponding
weeks OF the three previous years.
Failures for the week have been
242 in the United States, against 249
last year, and forty in Canada, against
thirty-two last year"

HOPES FOR BOER SUCCESS.
Senator Hale Declares Great
Britain Is Wrong.
BLOW STRUCK AT LIBERTY.
Maine Statesman Says the American
People sympathize with the Little
Republic-Pension Bill Passed by tho
House-Washington Notes.

| Washington, Jan. pa speech, SEN
al in its Importance, was delivered in the
senate Friday by Mr.. Hale (rep., Me.).
He declared that nine-tenths of the
American people sympathized with the
Beers in their gallant struggle for lib
erty against one of the greatest powers
| in the world. He declared that the
war which Great Britain is waging is
the most fell blow at human liberty
that has been struck in the century,"
He denied that the American people
were "in sympathy with Great Britain
In the South African war to stamp out
the liberty of people," and when Mr..
Balfour, in the house of commons,
made such statement, he should be
met with some disclaimer from this
side of the Atlantic" He declared that
the English people themselves were
not in favor of the war which had
been brought on by a sharp cabinet
minister engaged with gold specula
tors"
The resolution Of Mr.. Allen, which
called upon the secretary of state for
information as to whether any repre-
sentative of the Transvaal had applied
to the United States government for
recognition, and IL such application
had been made IL it had been accept
ed, and If not, why not, was laid be-
fore the senate at the conclusion Of
the morning business. Mr.. Spooner
(rep., Wis., moved that the resolution
be directed to the president and he be
requested to furnish the information II
not incompatible with public interests.
In brief speech in opposition to the
amendment Mr.. Teller said he would
not say word that would be offensive
to the government of Great Britain,
yet he felt his sympathy go out to the
Transvaal republic in it's great contest
at arms with England.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Hale's
speech the resolution as amended by
Mr.. Spooner was adopted.
Mr.. Morgan (Alabama) then adj
dressed the senate in opposition to the
financial bill, and the senate adjourned

Dryest Portions of tho Earth.

A place on the coast of Peru about
$50 miles south of the equator, known
as Payta, Is supposed to be the dryest
spot on the face of the earth. The
average interval between showers at
Payta Ia seven years. The opposite
side of the world furnishes the coun-
terpart to this almost rainless region.
1t is among the hills of Assam, where
the elevations condense the moisture
brought by the south monsoon and
pour deluge upon the Cheraponji sta
ton Of the Indian government. The
annual mean rainfall there is about $40
inches, and in the exceptional year of
1861 it amounted to 100 inches. No
where else does the tropical downpour
equal that which descends upon this
district among the Khasia hills. The
rains begin In March and continue al
most steadily till the middle of No
vember. That part Of the plains ad-
Joining the rivers Is under water for
eight months every year. During this
period there is no communication,
even between neighboring villages, and
to this enforced isolation is attributed
the fact that there are considerable
differences Of language among the peo-
pie of neighboring hamlets who un-
doubtedly. at one time. spoke the same
language.
