GALLANT LITTLE HORSE
Dan Patch Clips Few Seconds
From His Record.

Providence, K. l., Aug. 3l.-The
grand circuit meeting at Narragansett
Park was brought to close in the
afternoon in blaze of glory. Dan
Patch. the unbeaten son of Joe Patchen,
paced an exhibition mile in $50 1-2,
reducing his record from 200 Ia i.
The mile was within quarter of a
made by Star Pointer at Readville,
five years ago. This is the fastest mile
in harness in half decade, and Dan
Patch is the second horse to beat two
minutes. No other horse except Star
Pointer ever went SO fast. and he did it
only once. Star Pointer also went once
in 59s4. so this is the third time a
horse ever lowered two minutes. N.Y.

stallion, and his owner. NJ. +. Sturges,

The trial was made about 4 o'clock.
A light breeze was blowing up the

strong. The fastest quarter was the
second. in 90 seconds fiat. The first
half was in 500 seconds, and the last
in one minute. The middle half was
made in SO IA seconds. Dan Patch
was paced by runner, and scored down

NiPS A SCHEME.
Commissioner Jones Frustrates At
tempted Frauds.


Washington, Sept. 1.-William A.
Jones. commissioner of Indian affairs.
thinks he has nipped in the bud a
scheme that promised TO develop a
steal of S10,000000 or $20.000000 worth
of Indian lands and cause one of the
worst scandals the interior department
has had to deal with. Commissioner
Jones admits there is chance yet for
the Indians to be robbed hy the insti-
gators of the scheme. but says he will
do everything in his power to prevent
it,
Many large syndicates have been or
ganized throughout the west to pur-
chase the lands formerly owned by In
dians, which are now in the hands of
the government; that is they cannot be
dirpvseu or WITHOUT the approval of
the interior department. Many thou
sands of acres are valued at from 81 to
$50 an acre.
In many instances attempts have
been made by these syndicates to in
duce the Indian agent at the reserva-
ton to furnish them with all the de-
scriptions and also the names Of the
heirs.
A big firm in Nebraska, in which a
number of prominent public men are
interested, made an attempt to secure
from the agent at the reservation near
Omaha the description of 10000 acres
and the names of the heirs of the dead
allottees.
The syndicate contemplated purchas-
ing the land for about one-tenth of it's
value and selling it to settlers on the
mortgage plan for about $50 an acre.

SPECULATION RIFF {.
Washington Wonders What Miles
will Say About Philippines.

Washington, Sept. 2.-There is some
speculation az to what Will be the re-
suit OF Gen. Miles visit TO the Philip
pines. When he went 10 Southern
Cuba in 1898. the trip was made under
somewhat analogous circumstances to
those which exist in the present in
stance. The sequel to that visit was
the famous charge-or infamous. accord
ing to the point OF view-that the com
missary department had been feeding
embalmed beef to troops in the field.
Gen. Miles made the trip TO Santiago
in the capacity. virtually, OF an inspect
or general. The president and the sec
retarv of war had not seen fit to give
him supreme command in the cam
paign, and, in fact. Secretary Alger
found it necessary to say so IL dis
patch to Gen. Shafter. Several months
ago Gen. Miles asked to be allowed to
take command in the Philippines, and
the president declined the request; then
repeated the refusal III d somewhat SEN
sational interview in the cabinet room.
Last week the public was surprised
to learn from the newspapers that Gen.
Miles had again asked TO be sent to the
Philippines, and that the president had
grant ted the request. At this point the
analogy between this proposed journey
and the trip to Santiago in 1898 ap-
pears. The general commanding is to
90 merely to Inspect the army there
with reference to instruction, discipline
and supplies" He distinctly is not to
take command.
The speculation as to the result OF
Gen. Miles visit to the islands consists
in this: Will he be satisfied merely 10
make a report with reference to lin
struction, discipline and supplies OF
the army in the Philippines? Or will
he. in writing his report 10 the secre-
tary of war, exceed the authority ex-
pressed and implied in his orders. by
max ing some criticisms Of the way the
Philippine campaign is being con-
Quoted?

PACIFIC CABLE.
Conditions Uuder Which II Will Be
Constructed Finally Made
Public.

New York Sept. 2.-The great strug-
gle which has been going on in congress
over the question of building cable
from San Francisco to Manila is at last
over, and the work will Immediately be
proceeded with by the Commercial
Cable Company.
The result of the agreement entered
into between the Commercial Cable
Company is the elimination OF years of
effort on the part OF the late John w.
Mackav, who has along wanted to build
it, The only reason why he was not
given the opportunity to do so before
was that number of members of con-
gress were anxious to see the cable
built by the United States government.
There has been further delay caused by
the discussion as to whether the Com
mercial Gable Company should be per-
mitted to use the soundings made by
the United States Office during the lay
ing of the military cables. That point
will now be granted to Mr.. Mackay's
company, which will proceed at once to
law the cable on the following cOndi-
tons:
The government shall have at all
time priority in the use OF the cable.
Government dispatches shall 90 ahead
of all dispatches sent by private in
dividual or by other governments.
The postmaster general shall have
the right to fix the rates at which gov
eminent matter shall pass over the
wires.
In time OF war the cable shall pass
absolutely under government control.
The government shall have the right
to take over the cable at any time at a
fixed price by board Of arbitrators Sc
lected in the usual manner.
The Gable Construction Company
shall have the right to use the sound
ings made by the government, with
view to constructing the cable.
The present concession being for
line from San Francisco to Honolulu,
to Guam and subsequently to China,
where it will connect with the British
line from Hongkong to Manila, it is
stipulated that the company will, as
soon as it is practicable, construct an
independent line from the Chinese
coast to Manila, so that the line from
San Francisco to Manila shall be
altogether All American owned line.

LABOR DAY.
Some Facts About the Toilers' Lee
gal Holiday.

Washington. Sept. 2.-The celebra-
ton OF Labor Day this year possesses
more than ordinary significance to the
ranks of the organized toilers az it is
but 20 years ago since the first observ-
ance was begun. The United States is
he only country in the world that has
set aside a legal holiday devoted to the
wage earners ahnr n". IL al
most national holiday, the laws of
nearly every state and territory of the
Union recognizing it.
The origin Of Labor Day is found in
an agitation begun in the city OF New
York in 1882 All the great labor or
CARNATIONS OF the country participated
in the effort to secure this recognition
of labor's cause, the initiative in the
movement being taken by =. j. Ma
guire, then national secretary of the
journeymen carpenters. But it was
not until five years later that the efforts
bore fruit in legislation. Then it was
that the far Western state of Oregon
passed law setting aside the first Sat
urday in June for this observance.
This law was passed February 81, 1887.
Six years later to the day this law was
amended, and the present date, the first
Monday in September, was selected.
ewssJersey was the second state to leg
islate this holiday, an act being passed
in the legislature OF that state April 8,
1887. New York followed in May OF
the same year. Colorado and Massa-
chusetts followed in line the same year,
but it was not until after 1890 that the
