two worlds records In succession on
the track of the Memphis Trotting as
ISOLATION. First he wen against the
worlds half mile pacing record Of
57k seconds, held by Prince Alert.
and clipped a second and a half from
the record, going the distance in Sc
seconds fiat. Next was hung out the
new worlds record for a mile pacing
to a wagon, making the time in 1857
a, two seconds better than the time
of 1884. which he made al a recent
meeting on the Lexington. KY, track.
the worlds record until this after.

Major Delmar, +. +. %Smather's two

er his own record and won. He cut
a quarter of a second from the two

three-quarters In l:25A.
In making the half mile pace against

tance of the half mile pole, where two
runners tn sulkies were picked up.
the forward sulky carrying the Gus
tomary canvas dust strip. The three
horses swept by the pole and Me.
Henry gave the signal that the trial
was a go. Starter Newton dropped
the flag and the watches of the timers
were set in motion to catch the new
record for the half mile. The quar-,
ter va made in 2SI2 seconds. and
the PAGER dashed under the wire with
the hands of the timers watches
sharp on the mark of So seconds.
The demonstration from the grand
stand was quite as enthusiastic as
those which have been given Dan
Patch when he set the mile pacing
record of l:56A and Lou Dillon. when
she trotted a mile in l:5Sk. but its
noisy acclamations for the new cham
pion were eclipsed by the enthusiasm
of the spectators when Dan Patch
came upon the track to set the new
wagon record for a mile.
With few preliminary Greetings by
the grand stand, the start was made
with two runners as PAGERS. The quar-
tiers we're made in :29k, half in ssh,
and the three-quarters in LES. Under
the wire the champion PAGER dashed
in l:57A. showing little effect from
having smashed two records in a sin
gle afternoon.

| SHARP F|sT|CUFf
Corp. Conn. Beddlngfeld
and Mr.. E. N. FerraII.
cul Over Mr.. Beddingfeld's Right Eye---Mr.
FerralI Understood His Word Was !.
Questioned.

There was short but sharp asticuf'
encounter yesterday morning on the
western steps of the Capitol building.
The combatants were Corporation Com
missioner Eugene c. Beddingfeld and Mr.
E. NJ. FerTall, who is employed at the
CAPITOL to look after the building and
grounds. The only result of the affair is
that Mr. Beddingield has quite a severe
cut over the right eye, inflicted either by
Mr.. Ferrall's fist or the stone steps,
against which he fell.
Mr.. Beddingfield was out at his home in
the country last night, and could not be
seen.
A News and Observer reporter called on
Mr.. Ferrall to learn his account of the
trouble
He said it had originated in a remark
made by Charlie Beddingfield, son of Mr..
E. c. Beddingfield The remark. it seems.
had been repeated, and had reached the
ears of the young mans father, who
thought a wrong construction had been
put upon it, and so told Mr.. Ferrall.
Mr.. FerralI says that Mr. Beddingfeld
saw him again about the matter yesterday
morning, after speaking to his son about
it in the meantime. In the conversation
Mr.. Ferrall understood Mr.. Beddingfeld
to say he told a falsehood, and he struck
Mr. Beddingfeld.
Several blows passed before they were
separated, with the result mentioned
above.
Mr. Ferrall at once went to Mayor
Powell and submitted to an assault, and
Mr. Beddingfeld went home at once.
Mr.. Ferrall expressed himself last night
as regretting the affair exceedingly, as he
and Mr.. Beddingfield had always been the
best of friends. AS a matter OF fact they
were raised within few miles of each
other, and are fellow Masons.

The Manchurian Puzzle.
fBy the Associated Press


Washington, July 2S.-The State De
partment has heard nothing recently from
Mr.. Conger respecting the Manchurian ne
gotiations, so it is suggested that the
Pekin report to the effect that the
Chinese gvernment through Prince Ching
has declined to open any Manchurian
ports, refers to a phase OF the negotiations
dating about two weeks back. The rea-
son for this suggestion is a knowledge on
the part of the officials here that before
Secretary Hays departure for his summer
home the Chinese government actually
did pledge itself to open two or more
ports in Manchuria. 1t is not deemed
proper here to indicate how these pledges
were conveyed, whether through Mr.. Con-
ger at Pekin or the Chinese Minister, but
a to he f. t there can be no qpestior.
RLespecting the plea attributed to China
in the Pckin dispatches to tie effect that
- sain.: open b. Manchur oorts
because they are in the possession of Rus
sian troops and officials it is pointed out
here that is several weeks and even
months must necessarily elapse before the
new treaty can be made and become op.
erative there will be ample opportunity
for the Russians to evacuate the desired
ports if such course is necessary.

TIE PLEDGES MUST BE KlPr.
Position Of the United States With Regard to
Open Ports in Manchuria
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington, July 22.-Notwithstandln
the publication of dispatches from various
foreign cities questioning the extent of the
promises made to the American govern
ment by China and Russia respecting
Manchuria, the officials here positively de-
chine to add to or take one word from the
statement published from Washington just
before the departure of Secretary Hay to
the effect that satisfactory assurances had
been received that two or more Manchur-
ian ports would be opened to the worlds
trade. It is quite certain that China,
which is here regarded as the sovereign in
Manchuria, made these pledges and it is
equally certain that the United States
government fully intends that they shall
be kept. The details referred to in the
original statement as requiring adjust
ment are still unsettled, but the State De-
partnent is patient, resting in full conf
dence Of the opening of the ports required
within reasonable length of time. 1t is
true, as stated in the London dispatches,
that Japan looks with suspicion upon tbs
Russian pledges relative to Manchuria and
has intimated to the State Department
that they are not satisfactory, but so far
the department sees no reason to accept
that view.

THE UNION IN ARMS.
If Miller Resumes Work for
Government There'Il be
General Strike.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, July 22.-President Bar
rett, of the local organization of book
binders, today announced that every book
binder in the government printing office
and the members of the allied unions will
quit work if G.. A. Miller, assistant fore
man in the government printing office,
whose dismissal from that office the Pres
ident recently revoked, is permitted to re-
sumo work. The union gave out a state
ment reciting the developments in the case
and charging Miller with using scurrilous
language about those employed under him
and slandering the bookbinders' organlza-
tion of which ne was n member.
The statement says that the trouble
originated in a charge against Miller;
that the charge was considered by COM
mittee empowered to adjust differences;
that Miller not only refused to make an
explanation to member of the commit
tee deputized to call on him, but spoke
in an insulting manner. "Our organiza-
tion," the statement recites, docs not and
cannot dictate the poncy of conducting at
fairs of the bindery in the government
printing office. Miller's methods were the
most unbusiness-like of any foreman in the
office and his tactics in Furnishing men un-
der him were contemplate. In office and
public places he made use of scurrilous and
abusive epithets about employees, causing
a distrust in his division as to permanence
of employment"
The statement closes as follows:
"The union has never requested Mr..
Miller's discharge from the government
printing office. 1t should be noted, how
ever, that our Constitution forbids us to
work with suspended or expelled mem
Der. We learned that Miller had been dis
charged on legal charges preferred by the.
public printer in accordance with the Civil
Service laws. Our evidence clearly demon
strated that he had continually abused the
public printer in public Places
The statement makes personal allega-
tons against Miller and says that affida-
Wits have been placed in the hands of the
proper officials for full and complete in
vestigation.
Mr. Miller is now in Minneapolis.
