fdent that the queen of the trotters
will still further prove her claim to the
title by lowering the mark she then
made. He feels sure that sooner or
later she will be able to circle the
track in 1853.
1t is 2 known fact that while the three
judges in the stand were unanimous at
placing her time at two minutes fat,
such old timekeepers as Monroe Sails
bury and John Shepard caught Lou Dill
Ion as under the two-minute mark. Mr.
Salisbury has timed horses for many
years. and his honesty is unquestioncd.
He says he timed her all right. and that
she went the mile in 1882, and Mr.
Shepard says he caught her in 1888.
Satisfied With Timing.
When asked about these times TO-DAY
Mr.. Sanders said both the men men
toned have had large experience in that
line but he is perfectly satisfied with
the time given by the judges
There Is this satisfaction about the
timing of the race" he said. cit leaves
no possible chance of there being any
doubt the record, for all the others who
timed the mare either caught her as the
Judges or were under the two-minute
mark"
The peculiar thing about Lou Dill

better the mark she made. You see, she
is heart whole. for she has never suf-
fered a disappointment. and is sound
and young. She was going faster at
the end OF the mile than at any other
time during the race. and yet she was
never pushed TO her limit. These are
the facts which make me look for even
better things from her"
She Can Lower Mark.
There are many prominent horsemen
In town who saw the mile. and they,
too. are unanimous in believing that
Lou Dillon can put the mark below

The comDarison of the records made
by the former champions of the track
shows that they would have finished yne

Any other man would have been Sc
vereIy disciplined long ago and benched
until he came TO bis senses. WaddeU 3
said to receive 50 800 for FIVE months
work. a sum he could not earn in any
other business in years. when the mental
caliber OF the man is regarded.
He has broken faith on a score Of
occasions. he has jumped the team three
times, he has drunk deeply. but not
wisely. and he has broken every rule.
Now he should be made TO suffer. The
Athletics are better off without him, in
spite of his remarkable record last year
Were IL not for the splendid esprit du
corps which has been such a marked
characteristic OF the team this year. the
Athletics would have been disorganiZed
weeks ago. Baseball loses nothing by
Waddell's suspension. 1t is well rid of
him for the time being.

The suspension of John o. Keene. the
young Kentucky turfman. by the Rus
sian officials will cause much surprise
in the West. where he is widely known.
Jack Keene comes from an old and
weH-known Southern family. and for
several years trained and raced horses
successfully on Western tracks. Draw
Lad. the old campaigner. was one Of his
fayorites. Keene discovered Grover
Cleveland Fuller, the Jockey. and gave
him his first instructions in riding
race horses. Keene had papers binding
Fuller TO him, but as he wanted Fuller
TO go TO Russia with him last winter
the Western Jockey Club held that the
contract was not effective. Keene trains
a public stable and has for his patrons
a number of prominent Russians.
II IS believed that the keen rivalry
between General Lazareff, of the Russian
army. and lti-millionaire Black for
the racing supremacy is the cause OF
Trainer. Keene's suspension Keene's
principal patron is General Lazaren.

Waddell has been suspended indefinitely
The directors OF the club sent out the
following last night:
In a telegram from Cleveland last
night Manager Connie Mack announced
that he had dropped Rube WaddelI from
the club for misconduct. He also stated
that the other pitchers are now in ex-
cellent condition, and that Harry Davis
will be back on first base in today's
game with Boston. Bender will prob
ably be in the. box for the Athletics.
Manager Mack says he doesn't con-
slider that the Athletics are out of the
race for the pennant, but on the con-
trary he thinks now that the cripples
are all improved the club can yet beat
Boston out in the race.
The suspension of Waddell is an ex-

sizes and pranks of the eccentric pitcher
have proved interesting news 10 fan

Canadians Dissatisfied.

Our Canadian neighbors do not
like the result of the arbitration in
the Alaskan boundary case. This
is not to be wondered at, as they
had been working sbluff" which
they had fondly hoped would sue
coed. Their claim was an insolent
one, and wholly indefensible upon
any basis of law or equity. The
line agreed upon by the arbitrator
was established over seveny-fve
years ago by Russia and Great
Britain, after having been made the
subject of considerable diplomatic
correspondence, and until COM
paratively recent date had been
recognized as so established, by all
governments interested, as well as
map publishers whose accuracy in
this particular had never been ques-
toned. In the face of these we'll
known facts it was sublime impu-
dence on the part of Canada to lay
clam to territory to which she knew
she had not a shadow of title.

Panama is fortunate in the condi-
tons that affect its secession. The
revolution was effected without
bloodshed. There are no Colon
bian troops within the seeded terri
tory. It's situation-bounded on two
sides by the ocean, on the north by
Costa RIGA, country to which it
was not allied, and on the south
where it was attached to the rest of
Colombia by impenetrabie swamps,
its isolation renders it difficult for
the parent government to invade it
except by the ocean ports of Pana-
ma or Colon. These ports are
guarded by United States warships
and no Colombian troops can land
there, for the United States is under
treaty obligation to prevent disturb
ances at the termini of the Panama
railway. Colombia threatens to
send 10000 men into the isthmus to
compel the seceders to return to the
union but Secretary Hay says the
people of Panama have accomplish

The legislature has been importuned

question of such magnitude and in

immense sum of money that the
Legislature thought best that the peo-

The corporation press will have a
hard time to explain why the tax
levy of 1903 is SO much smaller than
that of Ioo2.-St. Croix Observer.
We do not know what the OBJ
server means by corporation
press" neither does it, but the ex-
PLANTATION it contemplates is dead
easy. The tax last year was ST.
soS,6o6 larger than that of this and
the reason why it is so much small
er this year is because the Governor,
Secretary OF State and State Treas
urer in their solicitude for the COM
fort of GOODS patient poor put
their open hands into their trousers

and turned it into the treasury! And
