The Ten Years Between 1860 and.
1870 Covered.

New York, Aug. 22-W. C. Whitney
has had compiled and printed for pri.
vate distribution a racing calendar for
the ten years between 186Osand 1870
1t is in three volumes.
From 1888 to 1916 summaries of all
races run in the United States were
published in the Turf Register. ub-
sequently Porter's Spirit of the Times
published them annually in book
form as racing calendars until 1861,
when the civil war ended all racing
in the south. Saratoga's track was
opened in 1868 and was followed by
Jerome Park in 1866, but not until
1876 was the thread which parted in
1861 taken up. H. d. Crickmore, sec
rotary of West Chester raaciag asso-
citation compiled the missing link in
the racing calendar. On the title

SULTAN CHANGED TERMS
M. Constans, French Minister Will
Be Recalled from Con-
stantlnople.

Paris, Aug. 21-A high official q
the foreign office informed the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press to
day that the exact situation at Con
stantinople is as follows:
The sultan at the last audience
which he granted to M. Constans, the
French ambassador, agreed to send
to the latter the same or the follow.
ing day a document giving complete
satisfaction to France, regarding the
claims of French citizens and in the
matter OF quays, in accordance with
the terms arranged between the sui
tan and NJ. Constans verbally. In
stead of doing this, the sultan. waited
until yesterday when he sent M. Con
STAINS a document, the terms Of which
differed essentially from those arrang-
ed at the audience.
Thereupon NJ. Constans declined to
negotiate any further or to hold other
communications with the Porte and
returned the matter to the French
foreign Office. His dispatch to this
effect was received last night. AS
matters stand, M. Constans and the
Porte's relation are broken off, but
Franch and Turkey are still in diplo-
matte relations, through the Turkish
ambassador at Paris. IF the sultan
does not keep the promises which he
made at the last audience" continued
the informant of the correspondent
of the Associated Press, 1--WE will have
to recall M. Constans and send the
Turkish ambassador his passports. A
solution one way or the other is prob
able within the next two days."
Replying to a question, the foreign
official said:
mo naval action on the part of
has yet been decided upon.
The story in the papers to the effect
that French warships are ordered to
be in readiness to sail for the Bos-
phorus have no foundation in fact.
Such a measure might, of course, be-
come necessary, but that eventuality
has not yet been considered by the
French government"

Boston Wool.

Boston, Aug. 21-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say
tomorrow Of the wool trade:
While the demand for WOOL for the
past week has been quieter, there has
nevertheless, been more than an ave,
age business transacted and prices
all lines have been fully maintain
ed. The demand has been widely dis,
tributed and it has practically. all
been for consumption, there, being nc
speculative tendency observable as
yet. There is a firm undertone to the
market and consumers who attempt
to secure woods at any concessions
from going prices do not succeed in
securing wool. The rank and file of
them are content, however, to pay the
current rates. There is no DISPOSE
ton on the part Of holders of wool
to force the market; they have all
they can conveniently attend to for
a while in shipping what they have
sold, and are content to await de-
velopments. The bulk of territory
wool has been purchased outright and
is in strong hands. The whole stu
alton, as regards both wool and goods,
looks sound and healthy. The mills
are well filled with orders and there
no apprehension Of a widespread
cancellation movement. There is a
large stock of wool in Boston-this
could hardly be otherwise, in view of
the fact that the territorial clip has
practically all bought outright
and the most Of it shipped to Boston.
But with the large consumption
which, it is believed, will develop be-
tween nov and next clip time, the
trade feel that the bulk of the supply
here will be wanted.

and assessed against the taxable prop

of Wood county, Wisconsin, for the
county school tax for the current year.
The amount to be raised in each

as they produced their bank books and
cash for the different balances. We.
therefore, have made their reports d
part OF this report, marked exhibits
"a" and 'B" respectively. We have
examined the report of the clerk of
the circuit court and find that the
monies have been paid over to county
treasurer as claimed. We have made
his report part of this report, marked
exhibit &C." We have examined the
report of the soldiers relief commits
sion, and find that they have vouchers
for the amounts paid out by them.
They ask an appropriation of $500 for
this fund for the coming year, and we
recommend that that sum be appro-
priated. We also have made this
report part of our report, marked ex-

We have examined the report of
Justice T. J. Cooper in state cases and
find that the amount of fines collected
by him, $500, has been paid over to the
county treasurer.
The County Tax.
In taking into consideration the
amount of tax to be levied against the
county for the running expenses of the
current year, we find that there has
been issued by W. Reeves, ex-county
clerk, from November 18th, 1900, to the
first Monday in January, 1901, county
orders amounting to the sum of ST.
565.2S of which amount Sc, $4,000 was
for court house repairs, leaving the
amount of orders issued by him for
general expenses S1l ,315.28. The
orders issued from the first Monday in
January, 1901, to Nov. IA. 1901, as re-
ported by County Clerk Renne, amount
to SIG, 827.18, making the amount of
county orders issued for last year $751;
1916. We find that the clerk of cir
cult court issued orders to the amount
of S5,7O2.47. Deducting the cost of
the tax commissioners, some 81 ,610.00,
from this amount leaves the amount of
court orders issued for general expense
81, oO2.47. Making the amount of
county and court orders issued last
year for general expense, S35, 144.o3-
we estimate the expenses of the
county for the next year as follows:
