MEMPHIS, TENN, Oct. 2o.-Two
worlds records were reduced and an
other tied at to-day's meeting of the
Memphis Trotting Association. The first
special event was the attempt of Direct
Hal and Prince Direct to pace mile
as team against the record of 2:oS II.
The pair was driven by the veteran
Geers, and when the time 2:05 IL was
hung out the crowd gave the stars an
ovation. The first quarter was paced
in 81 IL; the half in 1:oi and the three
quarter pole was passed in 1:3i IL.
Onward Silver next appeared to beat
his previous two mile trottinS record of
4 :os IL. He could only tie his former
mark.
The bay stallion Nervola was sent
against 5:25 II, the pacing record for
stations at two miles. Dean handled
his horse well and made the distance in
4 "a IL.
Prince Alert failed to beat the geld
ing's pacing record of 200 81, finishing
the mile in 2:0l 81.

STRIKE COMMISSION
MEETS At SCRANTON
Will Enter Upon a Thorough In
vestigation Of Conditions
in Mining Region.
By Associated Press,)

s. WASHINGTON D. c., October 90
The majority of the members OF the
Anthracite Coal Strike Commission left
here at o'clock this evening over the
Baltimore and Ohio for Scranton, Pa,
where they will meet tomorrow morn
ing for their investigations in the min
ing region.
The party consisted Of Commissioner
Of Labor Carroll Wright. General John
Chief E. E. Clark, of the Order Of Rail-
way Conductors: Assistant Recorders
Mosely and Neill and three stenosra-
piers The other members of the COM
mission are also expected to reach
Scranton by tomorrow morning.
The commission will spend tomorrow
at Scranton arranging the details of the
trip through the coal fields. The hearing
will not begin until the formal claims OF
the miners and the answer of the opera
tors have been filed
None Of the members OF the commits
sion are willing to be quoted in predic-
tions of the length of time the work Of
the commission will consume. They say
that they will go into the subject ex-
haustively, and one OF them said pri-
vately to-day he believed the report
would be ready within two months.
IF either of the parties to the con-
troversy should refuse to abide by the
decision of the commission, what could
be done?' the commissioner was asked
.sI do not regard that as a possibil-
ity,' was his answer. I'VE see no rea-
son to anticipate anything of the sort.
I do not believe that either side could

\ c, STUART MAY
RUN FOR GOVERNOR.
Popular Southwest Democrat
Believed to Have Bees in
His Bonnet.

From present indications there is going
to be a very lively race for Governor in
the Demoacrtic primary in 1905. and in
stead Of having only three corners, it may
have five or six. Lieutenant-G Governor
Willard, Attorney-General Anderson and
Chairman ]. Taylor Ellyson, are looked
upon already as almost certain of enter
ing the contest, while there is talk of
Braxto Glass and w. A Jones.
A story comes from the Southwest, that
the friends OF Hon. Henry c.. Stuart, Of
Russell. will insist at the proper time
upon entering his name upon the lists,
and that the popular leader is not alto
gether aVerse to the suggestion. The
matter was quietly talked Of during the
session of the late Constitutional Conven-
ton, of which Mr.. Stuart was a distin-
guished member, and now it is said that
it is gradually taking a more definite
shape. Mr.. Stuart is wealthy farmer
and cattle raiser. and is regarded as one
Of the most level-headed business men
in the State. He is highly cultured. and
makes friends wherever he goes. He was
chairman OF the Agricultural Committee
Of the convention, and was one of Mr.
sBraxton's ablest lieutenants in the lat
ter's fight for Corporation Commission.
1t is known that Mr.. Stuart could have
a place on the new commission If he
would, but it is believed that he prefers
to remain In active politics, and run for
Governor in 1901
