DAN PATCH AGAIN KING;
 PRINCE ALBERT DETHRONED
Wonderful Horse Faces Mile in 1.56 4, First Quarter in .29, in Half in .5S-Nerv0la Takes the POS Pace in
 2O4 l-4 and Takes Half Mile Pace in .5o.

Memphis. Oct. sa-Ths third AAy of the harness races s& the Memphis Trot- ting Association's track was made memor.ole by the nasniaoent perform. time. The handsome son of Joe Patohen made the mile in 1:6s 1-l. clipping three fourths of second from the worlds record of l:a held by Prince Alert and The mile was paced without a wind shield and at the finish Dan Paach seemed as fresh and vigorous as at the start. The demonstration that greeted the new woridS pacing champion as he flashed under the wire was memorable one. Horse owners who stood about the track before the starters stand had caught
 time with their own watches and before
 the track they set up a mighty shout and
 threw hats and caps high into the air
 The shout was caught up by the people in
 the grand stand the space before 1t and
 of the new pacing idol was prociaiming in Q long, hoarse roar that rose and fell and reached it's climax in . frenzy of noise as Driver McfIenry pulled up be- In acknowledgement of the exclamation. The trial was made with two runners to set the pace, the sulky preceding the pacer carrying a canvas strip between 9 seconds. the half in 6s and the three quarter pole in 1:H 1-t. As the horses swung into the stretch Dan Patch was pushing tho forward runner 90 closely that scercely a hands breadth intervcued between his nose and the back of the driver of the forward suliky.
 The performance of Dan Patch today in setting a new worlds record was n
 surprise to even his most ardent admirers.
 The betting on the trial was to 5 that
 he would beat his own record of 1 :5e and
 to s that he would not make better time
 than 1:50. Scarcely any one had display
 ed sufficient enthusiasm in the bay son of
 Joe, Patchen to suggest that he might
 equal the record of the champion Prince
 Alert, and certainly no one had predicted
 that he would exceu this wonderful mark of 1:57. But he went the mile with so little apparent exertion that tonight his
 further lower the worlds record should

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 1.-THE Foreign
Office here has received reliable informa.
ton that the Turkish forces have destroy
ed the town of Kastoria thirty-sx miles
south of Monastir, and have massacred
the population
The report of a massacre at Kastorla
comes from sources admitting OF little
doubt, though the details are lacking. 1t
was received with the gravest concern by
the officials here The population of Kas.
toria numbers about 10000 persons and
the massacre of such a number in one
place, if the report be true, exceeds any
thing which has yet occurred in Mace
donia AT the present critical moment,
when popular feeling is intense, the effect
of the report of such stupendous slaugh-
ter may be most serious.
The press is assuming a bellicose tone.
The Dnevnk tonight complains that the
governments partial mobilization of three
divisions is utterly inadequate and urges
the immediate mobilization of the whole
Bulgarian army.
The government, while steadily proceed
ing with the partial mobilization plans, is
endeavoring to avoid unnecessarily excit-
ing the people, and consequently, has re-
solved not to mobilize any part of the
Sofia garrison.
The War Office has recalled the Bull.
garian officers who were studying in tn.
military schools of Russia, France, Aus
tria and Italy.
London, Sept. lit is announced
here that Russia and Austria have made

OUT OF TIE WILD BLACK WASTE.
Six Poor Storm Waits are Drawn From the
Death That Threatened.
(By the Associated Press.

New York, Sept 1.-THE steamer
Vidar, Captain Sorrensen, arrived tonight
from Caibarien, having on board six mem
bers Of the crew of the British steamer
Mexicano, which foundered during a gale
on September 16. Captain Sorrensen
said:
I was sitting in my cabin about >
o'clock yesterday morning when 1 heard
cry. Thinking some one was fooling on
board the steamer / went out on the
bridge to investigate. When 1 reached
the bridge I heard the cry again. The
sound seemed to come from the ocean,
but l could not see any one. I ordered
boat to be gotten ready and then 1 heard
the cry a third time. I saw something
in the water like small log, about half
a mile off. With the aid of my glass
found it to be small hatch with a man
in Oilskins stretched full length on it. y
Immediately steered for the man and res
cued him. He was completely exhausted
and had to be hauled aboard the boat
He was unable to say word and think
ing there were no more as / could see 10
wreckage about, l started on my way
had proceeded about mile when / saw
several objects in the water, which
could not plainly make out Upon going
closer l found five more men clinging to
pieces of wreckage. / had the boat low
cred again and picked up the castaways.
They, too, were exhausted and one of them
was nearly crazy. My men had to hold
him in the life boat for he was de-
termined to jump into the sea. There
was another steamer some distance off,
and l could see that they had life boat
out, but 1 could not distinguish her
name"
One of the survivors, August Osterlind,
a native of Finland, says he heard two
pistol shots as he left the ship and thinks
some of the officers shot themselves
The Mexicano was a tank steamer and
carried a crew of twenty-five men besides
Captain King. Some of them were prob
ably picked up by the other steamer.
The survivors also aboard the Vidar are
Seamen August Osterlind and Simon
Baderea both of Finland; Firemen
Leonidas Korpedes, of Greece, and Sappe
Pooh, of Spain; Seaman Ross Clementine,
of Manila, and Juan Fonts, of Spain, a
fireman.
