Prince Alert Goes "A VILE in I:57 on
the Eiimpirc CITY Track.


the Empire City Track.
New York. Sept. 24-Prince Alert,
the pacing hero of a hundred races
and the champion of a score of half,
mite tracks, went against the worlds
pacing record of 1883 held by Dau
Patch and beat it most decsiveIy at
the Empire City track yesterday. 1T
was the first day of the autumn
meeting of the Empire City TrottiIg
club and. in addition to a strong card
of four races. Prince Alert was bi led
for what looked like the impossible
feat of beating the record. But
Prince Alert had recently won the
half-mile track championship in
2:03%, which had been won only the
week before by Dan Patch in 2:O4,
and good judges were sanguine.
The weather and track were per.
feet and the wind, which was high
early in the day, kindly subsidized so
that all the conditions were favor.
able. Mart Demarest the trainer and
driver of Prince Alert, on account of
overweight decided to get John Curry
to drive and Demarest drove the
thoroughbred speedmaker in front
with the wind shield sulky.
At the third time the starter gave
the word and, pacing like a perfect
piece of machinery, Prince Alert
shot away to the quarter pole in
:29h; as he got into the back stretch
he increased his speed and was at the
half in :jS. Then the crowd realized
that they were witnessing the fastest
mile of the century and cheers and
shouts of "Come on" came from
grand stand and lawn. Without Il
break or a treElor he flashed by the
three-quarter pole in 1:2GA, and with.
out any urging came on with a most
superb burst of speed, crossing the
wire in 1857.
In the regular program Dark Secret
was the favorite in the 2:2O trot, and
won easily in straight heats. That
great speedway fayorite, Swift, won
the 2:0S trot and reduced his record
to 2:07.
In the 2:OS pace Cubanola was the
choice, but was distanced in the first
heat, Nonamie winning the two heats

Army Scandals Shall Not
be Repeated.

London, Sept. 24.-The political
crisis has taken on phase which
lends to the present situation an his
torical and constitutional importance
of almost unprecedented interest.
The king has interfered, not un-
constitutonally or beyond the. powers
vested in the crown, but in the eXer-
else of his prerogatives to an extent
never dreamed of in the Victorian
era
Premier Balfour's continued pres
ence at Balmoral has given rise to
much surmse and comment, but the
Associated Press is able to state de-
finitely that it is due to the king S
del ermination not to assent to the
formation of new cabinet until
thoroughly satisfied that its person
mel is such as to ensure the efficient
carrying on of the affairs of the en-
pire pending the resumption of par
lament.
For years previous, cabinets were
formed or ministerial vacancies filled
with the mere formal presentation to
,be sovereign of The name of the new
ministers. King Edward has done
away with this tradition.
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
maker than Mr.. Ralfour himself.
though. with his usual tact. the king
has rcfraincd from expressing any
political views or infringing the III
itiatiVe belonging to the ministers,
this has not prevented him from ex-
pressing his genuine desire. amount
ing almost to a command, that steps
be taken to remedy the scandals in
the army administration revealed by
the report of the South African war
commission, and insisting that the
new cabinet shall be one adapted to
deal with that question.
After the long conversations he has
had during the last few days at Bal
moral with Lord Lansdowne, Mr.
Broderick, Lord Esher, who was
president of the South African war
commission. Lieut.. Gen. Kelly-K Kenny
and other military authorities, the
king is said to have expressed the
opinion that Lord Lansdowne's rec
ord as war secretary was due more
to the badness of the system then in
vogue lhdh 10 any utIcCl III LOfu
Lansdowne's own judgment. King
Edward has not shared the keen pub
lie indignation against Lord Lans-
downe aroused by the report of the
South African war commission. and
he is understood to have consented to
his lordship continuing as foreign
minister.
This decision has not prevented his
majesty from telling the ministers
that he wanted something done to
improve the military muddle and
that he hoped some man would he
appointed who, with the commissions
report as a basis, would be capable
of changing the system which render
ed inefliciency unavoidable.
The question of having some gen
eral, notably Lord Kitchener, as head
of the war Office has been discussed
at Balmoral between the king and
the ministers, but the consensus of
opinion was that such an appoint
ment be interpreted as n modified
form of military dictatorship which
the public would never sanction.

Lansing, Mich, Sept. 24.-Col. Eli

Sutton's case is one of the strang-

practice. He was once acquitted OF
the charge of completely in the con-
spiracy after a sensational trial
Later, when Gen. White made a com
plcte confession of the manner in
which the frauds were perpetrated
Sutton was indicted for perjury and
fed to Mexico.

once acquitted Sutton of a charge of
conspiracy to defraud, it was necel
sary to commence new case against
him on the same charge. \ new COM
plant was made and he was arraigned
before Police Judge Roe in the fore
noon, waived examination and went
at once to the circuit court, where
he pleaded guilty.
In reply to questions propoundcd
by Circuit Judge Wic,t, sutton said
he would waive his rights under the
jurys verdict of not guilty. When
he was asked if that verdict was OBJ
tanned through fraud. the prisoner
hesitated and then said that the
question was too general. He finally
said that there was fraud in the case
and that it might have influenced the
verdict.
After spending the afternoon
closeted with Judge West, Sutton
came into court Just before 6 O'Clock
to receive his sentence. Judge West
gave him a severe scoring and then
imposed fine of $4,000, which Sut-

Tine Worlds Record.
The state department at Washing
ton has received from consular
sources in Germany some notable
comments on the development of the
worlds steel industry. Of all coun-
tries producing steel in 1902, the
United States led with an output OF
15,0OO,O0O tons. OF one of the reports
the department says:
"These figures grow in Importance
when it is remembered that the
worlds production in 1894 was only
l2,S51.0OO tons. Germany's produc.
tion in 1902 was 7,7SO.O0O tons, one.
half that of the United States. while
England's was only 100000 tons, or
one-third of the production of the
United States. The worlds total steel
output for 1902 was estimated at 35,-
0N0.90o tons. This would indicate >
growth of 20 per cent. in - years. or
AN increase from a little more than
100000 tons in 1880 to $1,000, 900
tons in 1892. The great increase is
due to the Introduction of improved
processes, notably the fame furnace
Pennsylvania leads all parts of the
world in the use of this furnace, and
is followed by Illinois, New England
and Ohio.
'The steel produced by the Besse-
mer process during the last 10 years
was used mostly for rails. In En-
gland more than half of the steel pro-
duced by the Bessemer process went
into rails. In Germany and the
United States the proportion is not so
large. While the United States pro-
duced 9,306,471 tons of steel ingots in
1902, it turned out only 2,s76,293 tons
of steel rails, or about 30 per cent.

NEW UNIFORMS AND GUNS.
National Guardsmen Will Soon Have
New Equipment.

The soldiers of the Kansas National
guard are soon to have new khaki uni
forms. The state military board. at its
meeting in Topeka Thursday decided to
recommend to the governor that the khaki
uniforms which arrived a short time ago
be distributed at once TO the companies
Of the guard. The members of the local
company will receive this news with sat
isfaction, as the blue uniform is not
very cOmfortable garment for use in the
warm season. When the new service uni
forms which are to be supplied in addi-
ton to the khaki suits. arrive. the blue
will be used only as a dress uniform.
The governor has been notified by the
United States War Department that the
new Krag Jorgenson rifles for the Kan
sas National guard will be shipped within
the next two weeks. These arms will be
distributed Immediately among the troops
and the Wichita soldiers expect soon to
exchange their Springfields for the Krags.

cided also to add two machine guns Of the

GAS ON WEST SIDE
Gas Company Laying Mains
Across Bridge
CONNECTIONS MADE SOON
Large Shipment of Heavy Gas
Mains on Road

Within the next few days gas will be
available to the people living on the
West Side for the first time. A big 6-inch
main was being laid over the Douglas
avenue bridge yesterday and this Will be
extended west to Seneca street, thence
south to University, thus furnishing
enough gas for all the residences on the
West Side if they wish to use it.
The gas company has been contemplate
ing this move for some time, but owing
70 the delay OF large shipment Of mains
the work was put off until yesterday.
They have received word that the ship
ment is on the road and will go ahead
with the material they have on hand.
The shipment consists Of heavy 6-inch
and S-inCh castings and is expected TO be
here by the time the workmen are ready
for them The connections with the
main on this side of the river will be
made at the point where Waco crosses
Douglas avenue. Here the excavation
necessary to bury the main will be four
feet deep and will be run at about that
depth to the bridge where the main
wagon way, just between it and the foot
pat. On the West Side the ditch will not
b. so deep but will he kept a a depth of
about 212 feet in order TO comply with
a city ordinance. The main will be laid
as far as Seneca street on Douglas and
viii then go south on Seneca to Univer-
sity avenue. People living on the West
Side have long been trying to secure gas
on their side Of the river and a large
number have signified their intention of
using it when the connections are made.
Electric lights are satisfactory but gas
can be utilized in many places where
electricity cannot. Tn work of laying
the mains and making the connections
does not require a great amount of time
and if the shipment Of pipe arrives as
expected West Side people may expect
to have the satisfaction of using gas
within a very few days.

LAST PAYMENT DUE
Douglas Avenue Pavement Will
Be Paid for August |
INSTALLMENTS IN S7,463
All Pavement Bonds Will Be
Cancelled At That Time

On August 1st the last paving bonds
outstanding against the city of Wichita
will be cancelled. II has been ten years
since Wichita did any paving more than
repairs and this is the last year that the
property Owners along Douglas avenue
will have the words, Special paving
tax" written on their receipts. Ten years
ago this summer Douglas avenue was
paved from Wichita street east 10 Wash
ington avenue The total cost Of the
pavement was $3.50 paid for in internal
Improvement bonds bearing 8 per cent
interest Five thousand, fve hundred and
ninety-eight dollars OF this amount was
paid each year and the proportion added
TO the taxes of property along the ave
nue. The intersections of streets cost
SlS,65O. which the city pays in ten in
stalments, and this year Will be the
last one
The total amount OF psI-ing bonds which
will be paid the lst of August is 1,+o5,
and all paving bills will be cancelled
at that time. The Main and Market
street pavement was paid for several
years ago. Until ten years ago Douglas
avenue was paved with macadam. After
A7Nin street was paved with asphalt the
property owners decided that Douglas
avenue should have the same style of
pavement.
On September l another issue of paving
bonds viii be made to pay for the paving
on Douglas avenue from Wichita street
to the Big river bridge and from the
west end of the bridge to Seneca street
on the West Side. This work has been
done at considerable less expense per yard
than was the paving ten years ago and
the street west of the river is not so
wide as on this side. so that the total
amount will not be nearly so large
the former contract called for. The pres
ent contract stipulates that the street
shall be paved by the 18th of August
and the bonds will be issued Immediately
after the work is completed and tested.
The concrete base has been laid on one
side of the street for five of the eight
blocks west of the river and the asphalt
layers will begin work next week.
At the council meeting Monday night
a resolution will be adopted declaring it
necessary to pave Seneca street from
Douglas TO University, and University
from Seneca to the Friends University
campus and this work will be done this
fall.
