SET A NEW PACE.
Dan Patch Gut Down the
 Pacing Record
Came Under Star Pointers Perform ance by Quarter of a Second-Done Under Adverse Circumstances.

New York, Aug. 19.-Dan Patch broke the worlds record today for pacers by pacing a mile in :59 at Brighton Beach. | was a most magnificent per formance and seemed an impoSSibility, the wind and track considered. There was d stiff breeze blowing which struck the horses fairly in the face. The track was d little slow, but the effect of the wind was discounted by sending a runner in front while a sec ond runner galloped alongside. In spite of the adverse conditions, the an nouncement was made that he would go against the track record of 2.0034 and would also try to beat the cham pioE record of 1:59A, held since 1897 by Star Pointer.
 When the unbeaten pacer, for Dan Patch never lost a race, ap- peared on the track he was loudly cheered, and after d few premOnitary Warm-ups he got the word, and with a swift frictionless stride he shot from the wire and seemed to be determined to push his nose into the flying sulky in front of him which the thoroughbred | in the shafts was steadily pulling ahead. On swept the famous pacer tC
 the quarter in :29A. and when the half
 mile pole was flashed past in 5SA Q great volume of cheers went from the
 vast crowd. Then came the difficult tor
 turn and the slowest quarter of the | mile ensued the three-quarters being done in 1:29A. But down the stretch
 as swift and steady as locomotive he came and as he shot under the wire ! the watches stopped at 1:59.

THE TERMS C0NJECTURAL
It Is Supposed by Dr. Herran That the Bill Lately Introduced Allows the Colombian President to Ratify Without Further Submission.

Washington. D. C., Aug. 19-Dr. Her ran. the Colombian charge. has re- ceived no advices from Bogota since Monday last. when he received from the Colombian minister for foreign af- fairs a cahlegram dated August 13. announcing that the senate on the day previous had disapproved the Panama Canal treaty and that on the day following the president would sub init another proposition to the senate.
 What this new proposition is Dr. Herran does not know. He is of the opinion, however. that President Mar roquin has had q canal bill introduced empowering the president to negotiate and ratify without submission to the congress a canal treaty with this government, the treaty outline of which is contained in the bill now be- fore the congress.
 Dr. Herran says that this is only his unofficial interpretation of the news in the cablegram. He is cons tant- ly expecting another cablegram-

THE PUBLIC WARNED
By Prof. langley Against
 Being too Sanguine
He Has not Been Trying to Fly but
 Trying to See If He Could Do So.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 19.-Prof. Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian institution whose experiments down the Potomac river with the aerodrome or flying maohire. devised by him have attracted wide public interest. in or der to correct certain public misap- prehensions today issued the following statement:
 Smithsonian Institution, Aug. 19.
 ''To the Press.-The present eXperi- meats being made in mechanical flight have been carried on with funds pro vided by the board of ordnance. and Notifications, and partly from private sources and from the endowment Of the Smithsonian Institution. The ex- periments are carried on with approval Of the board of regents of the Smith sonian Institution.
 ''The public's interest in them may lead to unfounded expectation as to their immediate results without eX- planation Which is here briefly given.
 These trials, with some conducted with steam driven flying machines. are believed to be the first in the history of invention where bodies far heavier than air itself have been sustained in the air for more than a few seconds by purely mechanical means.
 Tn my previous trials, success has only been reached after initial failures which alone have taught the way to it, and l know TO reason why prospective trials should be an exception.
 It is possible, rather than probable that it may be otherwise now, but judging from the past experience it is to be regretted that the enforced pub licity which has been given to these initial experiments winch are essential ly experiments and nothing else, may lead to quite unfounded expectations.
 Tt is the practice of all scientific men. indeed of all prudent men moi 1 10 make public the results Of the.I work till these are certain. This con- sideration, and not any desire to with hold from the public matters in whicf the public is interested has dictated the policy thus far pursued here. The fullest publicity consistent with tho national interest (those recent expert ments have for their object the de velopment of machine for war pur- l poses) will be given to this work if il | reaches q stage which warrants publi- I cation.

THf ENCAMPME
Ten Thousand Survivors in
 Line.
Their Torn BattleflagS and Halting Gait Recalled the War Between the States.

San Francisco. Cal. Aug. 19.-Ten thousand survivors of the civil war passed in review today, marching to the martial tunes that inspired them to endeavor forty years ago. Above the national colors borne by every marcher proudly floated torn and tat tered battle flags. These, with empty sleeves and limping gait. were eloquent reminders of the sorrows and glory of the war.
 In the long line were men from ev- cry corner of the nation. Veterans who perhaps had enlisted from Maine or some other faraway state wore the badges of western commonwealths showing the growth Of the nation they fought to keep intact. In fact, Cali fornia excepted the one that had the largest number in the line was Illinois. but Ohio was a close second. Near the head of the procS s>ioD -'nde q attran on q bicycle. Whenever the marchers halted he circled around like an expert and kept pedalling away with the ease of a boy until the line moved on again. A gray-headed bugler sounded the calls for the Ohio delegation and every time he blew d blast the crowd Cheered.
 This afternoon was devoted largely | to receptions and functions. At the headquarters of the Women's Relief Corps and the Ladies of the Grand Army the number of visitors was so great that passage through the rooms was almost impossible. The United States maimed soldiers organiZa ton met in Temple hall. but the attendance was unexpectedly small. After Com rade Storey had explained the work done by the order to secure increased pensions for disabled veterans, an ad-
 journment was taken until tomorrow.
 Old men, boys of the First Missouri and Second United States artillery, met and exchanged stories of the war in an informal manner. A few survivors of the famous Iron Brigade" of the army of the Potomac assembled in Pioneer hall, their session also being of social character. In the evening thousands attended vocal and instrumental con- cert at Mechanics pavilion.
 General Nelson A. Miles was the guest of the Spanish War Veterans and the Woman's Relief Corps gave a reception to Commander-in- Chief Stewart. Reunions were also
 held by the ladies of the Grand Army and the Wisconsin Society of Civil War Veterans campfire at the armory of
 the Spanish-American War Veterans closed the event of the night.
