Dan Patch Failed.

READvILLE, Mass, Sept 19. = 1t seems quite probable that but for the slowness of the footing in the last POO yards the champion harness horse, Dan Patch, would have succeeded in his attempt here to lower his own rec ord of mile in 1 :59, made at Brighton Beach few weeks ago. Paced by one runner the quarter was made in 30 seconds and the half in 591A. From there on he had the benefit of two run ners and reached the three-Quarters in 1 1:29A. The record then seemed to be trembling, but on getting into the stretch heavy bit of track was ex- perienced, which tired the pacer so much that he reached the wire in 2:00 fiat

SENSELESS SENSATION
NOT HIS POLICY
Booker Washington Ignored the Hacknied, Sen
satIonaI Cries in Addressing Negro Gathering.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Booker T.
Washington to-day spoke at the con-
ference of negro leaders on the race
problem. Despite the fact that the
special problems of the city negro and
criminal assault, and lynching were
before the conference for discussion, he
carefully avoided them, devoting his
time to general advice to the confer
ence. Il feel" he said, IF 1 had list

done, I should have accomplished more

He referred to the need for harmony
among organizations and repeated that
the National Sociological Society had
work to do, which no other organiza-
ton could perform. Continuing, he
said:
Il am glad we are getting to the
point where we can come together
without regard to denomination or even
to party to discuss these problems.
There are two things that l want to
say to you. l hope you will bear in
mind that the great body of your peo-
pie live in the South. There are s.

to be sure. Some of US live in sections
where we hear them and eat them for
breakfast, dinner and supper. But along
with condemnation there is a demand
for something constructive. What can
you actually project and what relief
can you BRING"
Before leaving the floor, Washington
was asked by the Rev. Henry Johnson
of Baltimore if he saw any tendency
toward the adoption of his own con-
structive theories. to which the leader
replied: MY own feeling is that we
must do our duty in the line of human
progress, and If we see any immediate
results or not. we should trust to God
to help us OUT
J. w. Lyons, the negro leader and
register of the treasury, also spoke. adj

crimes which had brought about the
numerous lynchings in order to show
the wrong done the race.
A committee was appointed to show
by the records the truth of the state
ment made by the Rev. DR.. Caruthers
of Washington that the white men of
Chicago had been guilty of the social
crime more than the entire negro race
in the same length of time.

JEALOUS OF RIGHTS.

Congressmen Insist Upon Initiative
I'm Revenue Legislation.
Washington. Nov. 10.-The President
tonight had a conference with a num-
Der of the leaders in both Houses of
Congress. Those who called upon him
at the White House were Secretary
Moody. Speaker Cannon. Senators ALI
son, Aldrich, Plat of Connecticut
Spooner, Hanna. Hale, Lodge and
Wetmore and Representatives Payne,
Dalzell. Tawney and Hemenway.
One Of the participants stated that
the members of the House present had
taken dinner with the President and
had been called together for the pur-
pose of going over with the President
certain portions of his forthcoming
message to Congress. When the men,
bers of the Senate arrived later the
party entered into a general discussion
of the reciprocity agreement now be-
fore Congress.
1t developed that the old controversy
between the House and Senate over
the right of the former to initiate all
revenue legislation was the principal
topic of conversation. The members of
the House claimed that the present
treaty provides that during the life of
the convention the duty on sugar shall
not be reduced either by treaty or con-
vention. To concede the position of
the Senate, they assert. would be a
surrender of their constitutional pow
ers.
1t was said that unless the contention
of the House is admitted there will be
the same difficulty presented as at the
last session with the probability that
the measure will be defeated. No con-
clusion was reached by the conference

MISS GOELET'S GIFTS.
One Million Dollars Worth for ROx-

One Million Dollars Worth for ROx-
burghe's Bride.
From the New York Herald.
There was a remarkable sight on
Fifth avenue all yesterday afternoon,
in front of Mrs. Ogden Goelet's house,
at No COS. During several hours the
crowd of persons impelled by a de-
sire to catch a glimpse of real
British Duke, he of Roxburghe, and
of his bride-to-be, Miss May Goelet,
numbered not less than 300 1t had
been announced that the presents the
young couple have received would be
on view to their friends and perhaps
a wish to inspect members of the
-Four Hundred" at close range may
have added to the impulse that
those in it to exclaim to each other,
"They are the Elbridge Gerrysl"
These are the Clarence Mackays!"
and There's the Duke!" and some of
them added, in a tone of disappoint-
ment, why, he looks just like other
folks, doesn't he?"
1t was an amusing comedy. but
neither the Duke nor Miss Goelet APP
peared to enjoy it. The Duke when
he arrived early in the afternoon.
frowned when he saw the crowd of
curiosity seeks and he flushed angrily
at some of the comments that came
to his ears as he fairly flew up the
steps from his brougIfam.
There was the same kind of a scene
when the Duke and Miss Goelet went
for a drive drought Central Park,
and on their return an hour later
They were accompanied on the drive
by Lady Isabel Innes-Ker, the Dukes
sister.
Callers Were Many.
1t seemed as if nearly all of the $50
persons who have been invited to the
wedding on Tuesday called yesterday
to view the presents. The wedding
gifts are said to be the most splendid
and costly ever received by a bridal
pair in this city.
A large part of the upper floor was
set aside for the display of the gifts,
which are guarded by two headquar-
tiers detectives. Most conspicuous
among them were the famed "Rox-
burghe elneralds," valued at $500, 600
This is the gift Of the Dukes mother
to the bride. The gems are reputed to
have been in possession of the Rox-
burghe family for two centuries.
Among them Is necklace of large
stones, alone valued at $4,000 Emer-
aid brooches, pendant earrings and sun
bursts of great value are in the col
lection.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. T. Wilson, grand
parents of the bride, have sent her a
rope of selected pearls several yards
long. Mrs. Goelet, the brides mother,
gives her daughter a dinner service Of
forty eight pieces, all solid gold, and
also a tiara of diamonds said to be
one of the costliest ever manufactured.
Also from the brides mother comes
the gift of dozen yards of Irish point
lace, in rose design, which Miss Goelet
will wear on her bridal gown. II is
valued at $3.50 yard.
The Duke and Duchess of Marlbor-
ough gave a pearl necklace, Mr.. and
Mrs. ogden Mills a dozen solid gold
dinner plates, the Clarence Mackays
a gold water pitcher and tray, the
EIdridge Gerrys a large silver tray for
a tea set, Mr.. and Mrs. Adrian Iselin
a mirror set in a silver frame, Mr.
and Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt silver

SUBMARINES VICTORS.
Divers Are Formidable Adversnries
in n Naval Game.

Newport, R. l., Nov. 1O.-Further
torpedo boat practice took place in the
harbor last night resulting in a vic
tory for the submarines.
Commander Fletcher, in charge of the
torpedo station sent the torpedo boats
Mckee and Morris, in command of
Lieut.. Davis, with instructions to de-
stroy or capture two submarine tor
pedo boats, which were reported in the
vicinity of Newport harbor.
The sea was moderately smooth and
conditions considered favorable for the
submarines. While the boats were
maneuvering, the searchlights of the
torpedo station were used against the
submarines to assist Mckee and Nor
ris and to protect the reported enemy
at anchor near the station. The sub
marines engaged the Morris and de
stroyed" her, while the Mckee was
not successful in sinking the subma-
rines.
Later the submarines destroyed"
the enemy at anchor while the search
lights were used against the former.
