MUST TAKE OATH.
Government Employees in Printing
Office to Swear Allegiance.

Washington, Aug. 2S-An order
from Public Printer Palmer has been
issued to the heads Of divisions in the
government printing office to appear
before notary public in the office
and take the oath OF Allegiance to the
United States, as subscribed to by
clerks under the civil service law.
Mr. Palmer said he had issued the
order at the suggestion of government
official, whose name he declined to
give. He said that its object was to
place the per diem employees in the
same attitude toward the government
as that of the clerks on annual salaries,
who have subscribed to the order.
He said that every employe OF the
office would be affected by the order,
but to prevent loss of time and confu-
sion the chiefs of divisions were asked
to take it at once, and that gradually
the entire force would have the oath
administered.
The issuance of the order created con-
siderable surprise among the employees
of the office, especially amorg the
members of the book binders union, who
believe it has indirectly bearing on
the issues growing out of the case of W.
A. Miller.

TWO MINUTES FLAT.
Lou Dillon Beats the Worlds TrOt-
ting Record.

Readville, Mass, Aug. 26.-Before a
great crowd OF spectators at Readville,
and with the track and weather condi-
tious perfect, Lou Dillon trotted a mile
in two minutes, new wo-ldh's record.
For pacemakers there were two run
ming horses hitched to road carts, Pegs
gv from Paris, drivenby "Doc' Tanner
and Carrie Nation, driven by Scott Nc
Coy. Tanner kept Peggy from Paris
directly in front of the peerless chest
nut trotter, while Mccoy lay at her
wheel. In this way the trio went to
the quarter pole in 30 IA seconds.
With Never a Skip.
With never skip Lou Dillon went
so smooth gated down the back stretch
as to lead taose not timing the mile to
believe that her speed was not alarm
ingly fast. The half was clicked off in
100 ga. Around the trun to the three.
quarters pole the clip quickened, the
third quarter being 30 IA seconds,
making that mark of her journey in
1881. Faster and faster came Tanner
with the runner, and right with him
trotted the handsome California bred
mare. Sanders, Lou Dillon's driver,
was sitting perfectly still, but Mccoy
was crying aloud to his runner to cheer
Lou Dillon.
To the amazement of all the quarter
was driven in 20 seconds, thus making
the mile in the wonderful time of
minutes. When Sanders logged the
mare back to the wire, those who wit
messed the performance leaped to their
feet and sent forth cheer after cheer.
Lou Dillon apparently was as fresh as
though she had only been out for jog
cling exercise.
Sanders said he fully believed that
before the season closes he will drive
the mare in 80 or better.

Nluch Dust at Nome.

Nome, Aug. IA, via Seattle, Aug. rs.
The receipts Of gold dust by the banks
are much larger than they were last
year at this date. Dust is coming in as
fast as it comes in late in the season.
Increased mining facilities, resulting
from bitches and hydraulic plants, ac-
count for the larger output. The indi-
cations are very favorable this season
to a larger product OF gold from the
Seward peninsula than ever.

Error in Cipher.

Constantinople, Aug. 29.-It trans
pires that the report that Vice Consul
Magelssen was killed is incorrect. An
unknown individual fired at him and
the bullet passed close to the consul,
but did not touch him.
The vail of Beirut visited Vice Con-
sui Magelssen, expressing his regrets
for the outrage, and ordered measures
for the arrest of the person who fired
the shot.
The error in stating that Vice Consul
Magelssen had been killed arose from
mistake in cipher telegram.
Washington, Aug. pa decidedly
new turn in the case of United States
Vice Consul William c. Magellssen
at Beirut, Syria, who was reported to
have been assassinated last Sunday, de-
veloped when it became known that
the report was incorrect, and that, al
though Mr.. Magelssen had been shot
at, he had not even been injured.
1t is not thought, however, that the
decision to send Admiral Cotton g
squadron to Turkish waters will be
changed.

NOT VINO ENOUGH.
Reliance Again Far Ahead, but
Failed to Finish Inside
Time Limit.

New York, Aug. 2S.-With the Reli-
ance less than third Of mile from
the finish and the Shamrock III hull
down on the horizon, fully two miles
astern of the gallant defender, the
fourth race of the present series fol the
Americas cup was declared off because
OF the expiration of the time limit of
five and half hours, as happened on
Thursday last.
Although officially it was no race,
the defeat administered to the chal-
lenger was go ignominious that what
ever lingering hope remained in the
breast of the friends of the Shamrock
III vanished. The Reilance's victory
was in every way more decisive than
that OF last Saturday. The Shamrock
was outsailed, outpointed and outfooted
from start to finish.
Reliance beat Shamrock hopelessly
in the fifteen miles of windward work
rounding the outer mark twelve min
utes and thirty seconds ahead of her, q
gain in actual time of eleven minutes
twenty-nine seconds, and down the
wind she steadily increased her lead.
The real race of the day was not
against Shamrock, but was in the ex'
citing struggle of the Reliance in the
last half hour to reach the finish line
before the regatta committee fired the
gun which should announce the expira
ton Of the time limit. Had the vino
freshende twenty minutes sooner thar
it did, the cup series would have endeo
with three straight wins for the defend
er, and the Shamrock would have sailed
back to England one of the most worst
ed challengers in the history OF the
America s cup contests.

New York, Aug. 25.-In a glorious
Whole sail breeze over triangular
course, ten miles to leg, the feet-foot-
ed cup defender Reliance again today
showed her heels to Sir Thomas Lip
tons challenger, taking the second race
OF the cup series of 1903 by the narrow
margin of one minute and eighteen
seconds
1t was as pretty and hard fought
contest as has ever been sailed off San.
dy Hook, and had the wind not fallen
during the last ten minutes the record
for the couls Sc, three hours, twelve min
utes and fifteen seconds, made by the
Columbia two years ago, in her men,
orable race against Shamrock III, would
have been broken. AS it was the Reli-
ance sailed the thirty miles within two
minutes and thirty-nine seconds of the
record, which speaks wonderfully for
her speed in the wind that was blowing.
Bungles the Start.
Th9 Reliance's victory, narrow as it
was, would have, been even smaller
had not Capt. Wringe, thu skipper of
the British ship, bungled at the start,
sending his craft over the line nineteen
seconds after the last gun, handicap
ping her to that extent. At every point
of sailing the defenders superiority was
demonstrated. She gained one minute
fifty seconds in windward work, forty
seconds on the iun to the second mark
and forty-tive seconds on the close reach
for home. Based on the magnificent
showing she has made in the two races
already sailed, it is the belief of many
experts that the cup is safe, and that it
will take something better than Flies
latest creation even to bulge it.
An assemblage OF excursion vessels
almost as large as that OF last Saturday
poured down through the narrows and
out into the broad Atlantic to witness
the vanishing glory OF the challenger.
The early morning had held out little
hope of race.
A smoky haze hung over the sea, and
the wind was very light from the south.
But as the day wore on the curtain lift
ed slightly, the wind blew strong and
clean out of the south and the dancing
swell sparkled under the radiance of an
AuA ust sun.

Warships to Proceed.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 29.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was Informed by rep
resentative of the Associated Press of
the incorrectness of the report that
Vice Consul William G Magelssen, at
Beirut, Sryia, had been assassinated.
The president expressed qualification
that Consul Magelssen had escaped
without injury from the assault. He
announced, however, that no change at
present would be made in the plans of
this government, and that the European
squadron, which he last night ordered
to proceed Immediately to Beirut, would
proceed to it's ordered destination. 1t
can be said that the president and Sec
rotary Hay both regarded it advisable,
in view OF the present state OF unrest
in Turkey, to have American war ves-
sells in Turkish waters.
For several hours President Roosevelt
and Secretary Hay were in conference.
They discussed every suggested phase
of the situation in Turkey. At the con-
clusion of the conference Secretary Hay
announced his intention OF Immediately
returning to Washington.
The fact that Secretary Hay consid-
eres his presence in Washington neces-
sary at this time, indicates the serious
view he takes of the Tu kish situation.
He had not expected to return to Wash
ingon for several we, ks, but the devel-
opments in the Ottoman empire during
the past few days induced him to come
to Oyster Bay for conference with the
president, after which it was deemed
advisable by both that he should return
to Washington, at least for a couple
of weeks.
