WORLDS RECORD BROKEN
PRINCE ALBERT PAGES A MILE IN
/ :5. FLAT.
Thus Lowering Dan Patch's Record
Track Conditions Were Perfect.

New York, September 23.-Prince
Albert, the pacing hero of a hundred
races and the champion of a score or
half mile tracks, won against the
worlds pacing record of 1:59. held by
Dan Patch, and beating most decisively
at the Empire city track today.
The weather and track were perfect
and the wind which was high early
in the day, kindly subsided. so that all
the conditions were favorable.
Mart DemareSt, the trainer and drlV-
er Of the Prince, on account of over
weight, decided to get John Curry to
drive and DemareSt drove the thor
oughbred speed maker in front, with
the wind shield sulky. At the third
time the starter gave the word ana
pacing like a perfect piece of machln-
cry. Prince Albert shot away to the
quarter pole in 30 1-2. AS he got into
the back stretch he increased his speed
and was at the half in :5S. Then the
crowd realized that they were witness
ing the fastest mile of the century and
cheers and shouts of "Come on came
from the grand stand and lawn. With
out break or a tremOr, he flashed Dy

most superb burst of speed crossing

Kansas City, Mo, September %
After being in session behind closed
doors since early this morning the
convention of the International Asso-
citation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers at 10 o'clock tonight voted in
favor of seating Sam Parks and the
other delegates from local union No. 2,
Of New York. There were but three
votes cast against Parks and his
friends.
These were the ballots of President
Buchanan. the Kansas City delegate
and one other. The result was a de-
cided victory for Parks, as it reinstates
him and local No. 2 of New York, Of
which he is the business agent, and
directly repudiates the action of Pres
ident Buchanan in suspending him.
The Parks delegation will now have
seats on the floor, and the supposedly
regular New York delegates are out
of it,
The hearing of the Parks case con-
sumed nearly all the time of the CON-
vention today and was a bitter con-
test. Early in the day when the Gre
dentials committee had reported,
throwing the contest back to the con-
vention itself, Parks saved trouble by
needing the ruling of Buchanan and
vacating the hall with his men. Later
during the afternoon he and his men
were called back to plead their own
cause.
Parks was jubilant tonight. He was
escorted from the convention to the
Coates house by little group of ad-
mirers. Parks did not make much of
a statement after he had won.
Il knew it would go that way" said
he, Il knew it all the time. I don't go
INTO fight unless / know where I am
at. There was no doubt of it. 1 had
the men with me. This puts me right
back where / was and is perfectly sat-.
isfactory. Every one is satisfied and
things are lovely
president Buchanan declined to talk
about the result.
The credentials committee today re-
ported favorably on the question of al
lowing inside men, or shop men, in the
membership. There are 10000 of these
men.

TUNNEL OF COAL ON FIRE
ALL EFFORTS TO ENTINGUISH
BLAZE SEEM FUTILE.
The Norfolk and Western is Con-
tempIatinS Laying n Track Around
the MGuntain-This Would Cost
One Half Million Dollars.

Bristol. Tenn, September 23.-From
an authoritative source it is learned
that the Norfolk and Western railroad
is contemplating laying a track around
the mountain through which the Craig
en- tunnel extends, and which is now
burning. The discovery was made this
week that two veins of coal, which were
struck when the tunnel was being made,
have caught fire and time alone may
determine the result of the blaze. Every
effort of the railroad to eXtinguish the
blaze has been in vain. Over nine hun
dred men are now employed at the tun-
mel, which is about 1000 feet long. Both
Of it's ends have been stopped up Sc
curely and an air shaft run into the top
of the mountain in an effort to smoth-
er the blaze. Water is being pumped
into the cavity and it was thought that
in this manner, the blaze would finally
be reached and Quenched. All of these
efforts have seemingly, proven in vain
and the fire still RACES, each day ap-
parently adding to it's volume.
To lay the track around the mountain
it is said will involve an expenditure of
half million dollars.

London, September 23.-The political
crisis has taken on a phase which lends
10 the present situation a historical
and constitutional Importance of al
most unprecedented interest. The king
has interferred, not unconstitutionally
or beyond the powers vested in the
crown, but in the exercise of his pre-
negatives to an extent never dreamed
of in the Victorian era.
Premier Balfours continued presence
at Balmoral has given rise to
much surmse and comment, but
The Associated Press is able to state
definitely that it is due to the king s
determination not to assent to the for
nation of a new cabinet, until thor
oughIy satisfied that it's personnel and
combination are such as to ensure the
efficient carrying on of the affairs of
the empire pending the resumption Of
parliament.
For years previous, cabinets were
formed or ministerial vacancies filled
with the mere formal presentation to
the sovereign of the names of the new
ministers. King Edward has done away
last few days in constant discussion
with Mr.. Balfour as to the advisability,
from the point of view of the national
welfare. of the latter's suggested ap-
Minister'S o.
office and those nominated for office
have been summondel to Balmoral to
join in these conferences.
To such an extent is King Edward
holding his power of veto in reserve
that now he is almost regarded by the
inner circles as more the cabinet MAX
er than Mr.. Balfour himself. Though
with his usual tact, the King has re-
Trained from expressing any political
views or infringing on the initiative
belonging to the ministers, this has not
prevented him from expressing his gen
uine desire, amounting almost to a COM
mand, that steps be taken to remedy
the scandals in the army administra-
ton, revealed by the report of the
South African war commission, and in
sisting that the new cabinet shall be
one adapted to deal with that question.
King Edward has not shared the keen
public Indignation against Lord Lans-
downe, aroused by the report of the
South African war commission and af-
ter a minute examination of the cir
cumStances, he is understood to have
consented to his lordship continuing as
foreign minister. The decision has not
prevented his majesty from frankly tel
ling the minister that he wanted some
thing done to improve the military
muddle and that he hoped some man
would be appointed who, with the COM
missions report as a basis, would be
capable of changing the system which
rendered inefficiency unavoidable.
The question of having some general
notably Lord Kitchener, as head OF the
war office has been keenly discussed al
Balmoral between the King and the
ministers, but the Associated Press un-
derStandS that the consensus of opinion
was that such an appointment would be
interpreted as a modified form of mill
tary dictatorship which the public
would never sanction.

Sofia, Bulgaria, September pa
less hopeful feeling prevails today in
government circles regarding the gen.
eral situation. although no actual
change is reported
The events of the next two days are
awaited with great anxiety and pop
ular Feeling is becoming more excited.
a largely attended meeting Of Macedo-
MAN sympathizers held at Rustchuk,
Bulgaria, has adopted resolutions ap-
pealing to the Bulgarian government
to declare war on Turkey immediately.
In revolutionary circles war is be-
lieved to be imminent unless Turkey
stops massacreing the Christians, Of
which there are no sign at present.
DR.. Christie Tatarcheff, president of the
Macedonian organizations. has inform
ed the Associated Press cOrreSpOn-
dent that the insurgent committees at
tach no Importance to the reported
negotiations between Turkey and Bull
garia, because similar propositions
were discussed in 1897 and later in
1899 and 1900. The porte. added DR..
Tatarcheff, only entered into the con-
ference in order to gain time to finish
the determination of what it regards
as the dangerous elements in Mace
dOnia, and have the troops now at
MonaStir free to move against Bull
garia and bring more soldiers from
Asia. While the sultans give this dis
cussion of preparations for reform in
Macedonia, the troops continue to
massacre the Christians and devastate
the country.
Special significance attaches to the
Macedonia meeting at Rustchuk be-
cause the resolutions adopted are the
first open expression of such an en-
phatic character in favor of war COM
ing from any popular meeting in Bull
garla. Rustchuk is the chief CONNER
mercial town in the country. Resolu.
tions were also passed thanking the
pope. the English bishops, the trades
union congress and the British and
American press for their expressions
of sympathy with the Macedonian
cause.
Fighting is reported to have taken
place near Kotchani, on the frontier
in which the Turks lost fifty men and
the insurgents suffered a loss of ten.

A MAN COMMITS MURDER
AND THEN KILLS HIMSELF

addressed evidently in the handwriting
of a man to Inocenti Talamini. In
seeking Talamini to find what he knew
Of the woman or shooting, the officers
identified the dead man as Talamini
himself
No cause is known why Talamini
should have shot the woman. but she
had told several of her friends the day
before of a Jew who had been following
her and Of whom she was afraid. Tala-
mini has a Hebraic countenance and it
is general theory that he shot her be-
cause she refused to marry him. In
the mans hand was a revolver with
four chambers discharged, accounting
for the four shots fired. The people liv-
| ing in the neighborhood where the
/ tragedy occurred declare that more
| than four shots were fired. and one
| bullet crashed through 4 window.
These facts have led the police to be-
! lieve that there may have been third
party to the shooting. The Webber Wo-
