HARTFORD, Sept. 5.-There were Io.O 900
persons on hand for the opening Of the 'irand
Circuit races at Charter Oak Park to-day.

every race. The event of the day was the
defeat of Stanley Dillon in the 2lO trot.
Geers got him under the wire first in two
heats but bad break in the third put him
so far behind that ii required terrific drive
to save the distance. This drive tuckered
the horse out SO that he could not get within
the distance flag in the fourth heat.
Rosewood, who took tho third heat in the
ol4 pace. gave BID News. the winner. hard
drive In the first and final heats. The GEN
eral was the favorite in the al, trot. but

1T IS WARMING UP.
Republican County Campaign Is
Nearing the Climax.

The campaign in Shawnee county for
the Republican nominations is entering
the final stage and there is a slight in
dication of interest which has been al
most entirely lacking up to this time.
Naturally the Office in which there
will be more interest than in any other
because it is the most important office
in the county is that of district judge.
1t is admitted that A. w. Dana is far
in the lead in the race. A large ele-
ment of his strength is in the fact that
the bar is for Mr.. Dana almost to a
unit and there has been a disposition to
defer to the wishes of the attorneys in
the election of a judge For the first
time IN several years the temperance
question Is not an issue in the judge
ship contest and Mr.. Dana will prob
ably receive a majority of the prohibit
ton vote. especially from those who
realize that there should be a strong
fair lawyer on the district bench.
Arthur McCabe. who is the opposing
candidate, is now judge of the city
court, consolidation of the justice
courts of Topeka, and has been recently
elected for the third time. He is a
young lawyer and his support will come
principally from his personal friends
and from the influence exerted by his
brother, James McCabe, who is city en-
g1neer- The next week will determine
whether Mr.. McCabe will develop any
considerable strength.
Inc canvass for county attorney has
not been considered seriously and it
has been generally admitted that Mr.
Hungate will be renominated He has
made an excellent record and the tenn
perance organizations decided to stand
aside and allow him to be nominated
without opposition so far as they were
concerned w. H. Cowles entered the
race on his own responsibility but there
Is a disposition among some of the pro-
hibition workers to help Mr.. Cowles
and a circular to that effect was issued
| today but it is not believed that it
will not have the effect of uniting the
temperance workers against Mr.. Hun
gate.
The contest for the legislature will
probably be exciting during the clos
ing days of the contest. There are two
candidates in each district and two for
senator.
The only other county office forwhich
there is a contest is superintendent of
public instruction and it was simpliffed
today by the withdrawal of Mr.. Kutz
on account of i'll health. Mr.. Kutz is
sued the following statement:
lat the advice of my physician and
because have been prevented by con-
tinued illness from looking after my
candidacy for the office of county
superintendent, which announced sew
eral weeks ago, I have decided not to
submit my name to the Shawnee eoun-
/ ty Republican primaries and hereby
announce my withdrawal from the
race"
This leaves the contest between Mr..
Carter and Mr.. WATSON and Mr.. Garter
probably has a shade the better of it.

CAR MUST EXPLAIN.
Why Is an American Ship Held
at Port Arthur?

Washington. Feb. 13-The state de-
partment has instructed Ambassador
Mccormick to ask the Russian govern
ment at st. Petersburg for an explana-
ton of the compulsory detention in the
harbor of Port Arthur of the American
steamship Peiades. which conveyed a
cargo Of -four to that place from Hon
olulu just before the outbreak of hos
tilities.
The ship is owned by the Boston Tow
boat company, which has made formal
complaint to the state department,
hence the instruction to Mr. Mccormick.
By some officials here the opinion is ex-
pressed that the OBTAINING of the ship
is not violation Of international law,
provided adequate demurrage is paid
TO the owners of the vessels.
1t is assumed that the vessel is de-
tanned for strategeticaI purposes and
naval officers point out that her depar-
ture at this time might enable the Jap
anese to learn important facts about
the condition of affairs at Port Ar
thur 1t is roughly estimated that a
sufficient demurrage would be from 500
to 5000 per day depending upon the val
ue of the vessels return cargo.

Commercial Club Expresses
Sympathy for P.-D. & Co.

The following resolutions were adopt
noon:
Resolved, That the sympathy of the
members of the Commercial club is ex-
tended to the Notwithstanding Mercan-
tile company and other sufferers from
the great fire this morning.
Resolved, That we feel that there
ests of this city will be seriously criD-
pied unless the insurance companies
carrying risks upon the property de-
stroyed by the most disastrous
fire in the history of the
city. that occurred this morn
ing. be prompt in the adjustment
and payment of such losses, and we
earnestly request such companies to
adjust the losses Immediately and pay
the same without discount, notwith-
standing any limitations of time tina t
may be contained in the policies of in
surance, and we confidently assert that
such a course, will ultimately rebound
to the credit and interest of such COM
panies in this community.
Resolved, That the Commercial club
hereby expresses its emphatic censure
of the negligence of the water company
in failing to furnish proper pressure
during the continuance of the fire, and
that the experience of this morning
fire in the estimation of the CONNER
cial club fully justifies the attitude
of extreme care assumed by the city
clude the purchase of the Topeka water
plant; that in the judgment OF the Com
mercial club evens further Investigations
would be more than justified and that the
club will fully cooperate with and lend
It's assistance to the city council wherever
possible in this direction"
