PACED A MILE nm goa.
Dan Patch at Oklahoma City Broke
His Record Of a Year AGO.

Oklahoma city. Ok; Amid the
greatest excitement and widest con
fusion Dan Patch, the worlds greatest
PAGER, broke the worlds record for
mile over a half mile track at Colcord
Park Thursday afternoon before an
audience Of 1000 people. He clipped
a quarter Of second of the record
made at Birmingham, Ala, one year
ago, when he paced a mile in 2:O3 IA.
The time was 2:0s fat, and but for
break at the three-quarters would have
made the mile in 2;O2, The time was:
First quarter, 30 IL; half 1901 10;
three-quarters, 1881; after the break
the last eighth was paced in IA sec
onds. B. Hersey, the driver. after
scoring twice, sent the famous PAGER
under the wire with Cobweb, the run
ner, leading by marrow margin, and
Trolley, the pacemaker, alongside
When the half mile was reached the
men with the stop watches predicted
that the distance would be covered in
2:02. At the three-quarters the horse
broke. and to the horror of the spec
tators, it seemed that the great piece
of pacing machinery was doomed to
fall. Driver Hersey soon recovered
the PAGERS gait and sent him under
the wire in 2:OS fiat. Had it not been
due to the break, which Mr.. Hersey
said was due to soft piece of track
that nearly tripped the horse, the dis
lance would undoubtedly been made in
2:O2.
When the announcement was made
that Dan Patch had lowered the worlds
pacing record on half mile track,
men and women became frantic from
excitement and the air was filed with
canes, hats and coats. Thousands
swarmed the track; eager to touch the
famous racer, and it was with great
difficulty that the animal was led
away. The driver was tossed from
shoulder to shoulder for many min.
utes. Mr. Hersey and added weight
amounted to 1850 pounds. Dan Patch
was taken from here TO Dallas, Tex.

Gen. stoesseI's Injury.

st. Petersburg Rejoicing over the
undaunted spirit displayed by General
stoessel in his telegram Of congratila-
ton to Emperor Nicholas on the ami
versary Of his ascension TO the thone,
and officially announcing the failure
of General Nogrs nine-day attempt to
present Port Arthur to the Milxado as
birthday present, is tempered by pri-
vate information that the gallant com
mander Of the garrison has been
wounded. General Stoessel was
struck in the head by splinter from
shell while he was personally direct
ing the repulse OF a particularly des'
perate assault, but fortunately the
wound is not serious and General
StoesseI has not been obliged to relln-
quish command. General Stoessel is
regarded as the heart and soul of the
defense and his death or disability,
which would cause him to relinquish
command, would be regarded as an ir-
remediable misfortune.
otner information sent by General
Stoessel, which has not been divulged
for strategic reasons, it is stated by
the war office. is by no means unfa-
yorav,e. While the garrison is now
nemmed in the citadel itself, not one
OF the main forts has ben taelSen. The
garrison has been proviaioned, fresh
ammunition has arrived. and General
4 Stoessel expresses commence that the
defense can be successfully maintain
ed until the arrival of Vice Admiral
Kojestvensky's Second Pacific squad
ron.
The report that the armored cruiser
Gromoboi has been injured at viadi-
vostok is confirmed. The vessel
grounded as she was returning to the
harbor from trial trip after the re-
pair of the injuries received in the
fight with Admiral Kamimura's squad
ron, but at the admiralty the injuries
are said to be slight.

Beef TRUST TRIAL
PACKERS WILL HAVE 10 TESTIFY
Try Publicity First, If That Does Not
Have the Desired Effect Other
Methods win BE Applied.

Washington, Nov l9.-It is becom.
ing evident that the administration
contemplates moving on what is
known as the beef trust in very
short time. At tine last session of
congress a bill was introduced calling
on the Department Of Commerce and
Labor to make an examination into
the meat business OF the country, or,
in fact, to examine into the beef and
hog killing business as carried on by
large packing concerns, and to make
a report to congress. This was the
effect of the measure. The father OF
the bill, a CONGRESSMAN from the
Northwest, was told that the depart
ment was created for this very pur-
pose and that It's reports should be
made to the president, and the bill
was changed to this effect. All last
summer agents OF the department
were in Texas and in all the great
stock growing countries making in
quiries as to prices and in and around
the packeries inquirIng into the meth
DDS of the packing concerns. Affida
Wits by the carloads connected with
the reports are now in the hands Of
the department, and it is ready tc
move. 1t IS thought that the method
OF procedure will FIRST be along the
line Of publicity. MI. Garfield Of the
department will probably commence
an open Investigation during the pres
emit month at Chicago. He will there
be close to the parent houses Of the
packing concerns. He will place the
Armours. Swifts, Nelson's and Others
Of the large establishments on the
stand and have them Intercepted
that every detail and all the ramifica
lions and profits OF the business ma!
be shown. The government will be
able to bring out everything it de
sires. since its secret investigation
has given 1t absolute knowledge 0
the business. 1t IS thought that The
government viii fully expose its hand
since it will proceed by suit II pub
licity does not have the effect OH the
concerns that it hopes to produce.

The Remlnoton.

The Remington is the only typewrit-
