Record to Win the
2tO4 Pace.

CLEVELAND, O., July &.-The 2.0 pace
the 2:07 trot furnished sensations for
the record-breaking crowd that attended
the grand circuit races here stoday. The
Dan Patch was always a 1 to 5
favorite for the pace and he won, but had
to cut his record to 2:03% when chased out
in the opening heat by Riley b. The per-
Torrance did not tire the favorite in the
least and he took the deciding heat with
ease.
The first heat of the 2:07 trot went to
The Monk, who had sold for $50 to $40 on
the aeld. Lord Derby was far back and
the judges decided that Spear had made
al improper drive. He was taken down
and George Saunders put up behind Lord
Derby. The drive on the stretch was ter
rife and The Monk was nipped at the wire.
Lord Derby trotted the last half in 1:00%.
A bad break put him out OF the going in
the deciding heat and the race went to
The Monk, Dolly D~illon1belng unable to
force him out. The judges fined Spear
$3.50 and gave the money to the substituted

Both horses were long shots in the betting.

which was described as arbitrary and
unjust.
Ultimately the London tobacconists,
after Il long discussion. passed a reso-
luton unanimously absolutely refusing
to sign the Imperial Tobacco COM
pany's agreement. as being unjust
and unfair to the dealers, and I'M

tent with rejecting the proposed boy
colt of American tobacco. but went a
step further, passing Il resolution to
support any manufacturers willing TO
guarantee, on proprietary articles, a
minimum profit TO the retailer of 20
per cent. on tobacco TO % per cent. on
cigarettes.
The speakers bitterly denounced the
British combine. declaring the latter
had "out-AmericaniZedt the Americans" p"
and said that its recent action would
oily result in forcing the remaining
independent tobacco concerns in Eng
Iand into the arms of the Americans.
The resolutions were adopted with
much cheering. mingled with groans
for the Imperial concern.

Strong Features of the

Sideration.

Washington. March 22.-Two i'm
portant measures were passed by the
senate YeSterday-the bill for the re-
peal of the war revenue taxes and
that for the protection of the presi-
dent of the United States. The rev.
ente bill was passed without division
and after only one short speech. Till
man embraced the opportunity af-
fOrded by the bills consideration to
protest against the repeal of the duty
of 10 cents Il pound upon tea, as tea
culture was an infant industry in
South Carolina. The bill for the pro-
lection of the president was under
discussion during the greater part of
the session. Patterson of Colorado
made an extended speech in oppOsi-
tion to it and Fairbanks supported
to il. All amendments to the measure
were respected. and it was passed by
a vote of - to II.
Death for the Assassin.
The bill provides that any person
within the United States who shall

Of United Mine Workers failed to
reach a termination yesterday con-
cerning Il grievances of the anthra-
cite coal liners. Many of the dele
gates had expected an adjournment
and definite action not later than yes
tCrday. but the discussion OF the scale
committee report was more protracted
than was anticipated, and its adoption
entire had not been accomplished at
the hour of adjournment yesterday.
The committee presented its report to
the convention at the afternoon ses-
sion. President Mitchell announced
that part of the report had been
adopted. but failed to state the nature
or the clauses accepted.
No Certainty a To the Decision.
Mitchell last night said he was un-
able TO make statement concerning
the progress of the convention with
the scale. owing to the fact that there
was much of the report still to be
considered. President Mitchell was
not certain that the report would be
made public in its entirety today, al
though he stated that he expected
final action and adjournment by noon
today. There is much uncertainty here
concerning the situation. and opinion
is about equally divided as to whether
the convention will declare in favor of
drastic measures to secure an adjust
ment of its grievances.
