DAN PATCH LOWERS
 THE WORLDS RECORD
Steps of Mile In 1:58 Flat and Beats the Feat of Star
 Pointer.

Memphis, November 11.-Dan Patch, the pacing champion in an exhibition mile today on the track of the Memphis trot- ting association lowered the worlds pac. Ing record without wind shield by one and one-quarter seconds covering the mile in 1:5S flat. The former record of 1:59A was held by Star Pointer made several years ago at the Readvlle track.
 Weather and track conditions were ideal for the attempt, the driver, gave Dan Patch a warming up about o'clock and a few minutes later sent the 3la sk pacer away at the first attempt. The first quarter was stepped in 30 seconds. Strengthened out down the bac6 stretch Dan Patch never faltered and passed the half mile post in 59 seconds At the three- quarters the timers showed 128 and after drive down the stretch the wire was reached in 1:58. Two runners accompanied the pacer and he was apparently very tired at the finish.
 The rules of the national trotting board were observed and 1t Is asserted the record will be allowed, although the at tempt was not made at race meeting

WRONG DOING WAS
 DUE TO IGNORANCE
NEW YORK ELECTION IRREGU- LARITIES WERE NOT CAUSED so MUCH BY FRAUD AS BY PURE IGNORANCE OF DUTIES.

New York, November 11.-Attorney Gen. eral Mayer announced tonight that cases of illegal acts in the recent election had been reported to both his and Superintend- ent Morgan's offices in such manner that he had appointed Jay s. Jones of Brook iyn and James S. Lehmaier of New York as special deputy attorneys general to as- sst the regular staff in the investiga- ton and prosecution of election cases re- ported. Neither the attorney general nor Superintendent Morgan would discuss the situation tonight.
 It was learned. however. that as re- suit of the investigation evidence had been procured which would be taken to the grand jury next week.
 The investigation so far has resulted in revelations of the most sensational character as to the ignorance and incom- potency of the election inspectors. It Is the opinion of all the state officials that the Irregularities were not so much oe fraud as of pure and simple ignorance.
 It was learned today that the ballot box found in the barber shop In the Twenty-first assembly district was only for mutilated ballots. and the report of the canvass shows that ten defective bal lots were recorded, the same number that was found In the box. Another similar box was found today at a polling place on West Thirty-eighth street.

Mt. Vernon, O., November 11.-Coro- ner Scarborough rendered his verdict in the Pierson case today.

Roosevelt May Send Special
 Commission to tn, Orient
SIR CHENTUNG IN CHICAGO
Says the Chinese Boycott Is the ln- evitabIe Outcome of Wrong Treat ment of Chinese By
 Americans.

Washington November n.-tSpeciah3-- President Roosevelt is considering the ad- visibility of sending a commission to China to ascertain exactly what the com mercial status of the United States is in that country Several reports have been received on this subject lately. but they have been so conflicting IS to becloud rather than to clarify the situation.
 Perhaps the most important of these was the report made nearly three weeks ago by O. P. Austin, chief of the bureau of statistics of tho department Of com- merce and labor, to Secretary Metcalf. Mir. Austin went to China more than six months ago for the single purpose of learning the condition and prospects of American commerce there. and especially to consider what effect the boycott was likely to have. Ills report has been made, but what It Is cannot be learned. nor can any information be got as to when 1t is likely to be given to the pub lie.
 Reveals Serious Situation.
 This circumstance together with tho fact that MT. Austin will not even intl- mate what the nature of 1t is has given rise to the belief that his report has re- vealed rather a more serious situation than one would infer from the state- ments that have been made public. The recent murder of five American misslon- aries, while not attributed directly to the boycott, Is believed to have been due to the general spirit of anlmosity which is felt by the people of that country for those of the United States. a spite which manifests itself in murder when there Is any kind of provocation. and which Is apt to make Itself more steadily felt in a commercial way unless something should be done to remove the grievance which the Chinese imagine they have.
 Important to the South. The duty of preserving American ops portunity in China is regarded as of tho utmost importance. Especially at this time when 1t seems if the competition of thu nations in that empire is to be more spr- ited than ever before. The south feels perhaps a more lively interest in this mat ter than any other section for the reason that 1t looks to China for a market for it's increasing crops of cotton.
 Several men of the south, some of them interested In the cotton trade have suggested to the president the advisabili- ty of sending a commission there to deter mine with certainty whether there has been engendered such feeling as might restrict American opportunity, and if so what measures need to be adopted to assure to our products an equal chance in competition with those of other na- tions

ST. BARTHOLOMEW
 PROVES TO BE MYTH
NOT THE SLIGHTEST EVIDENCE OF MOB SPIRIT IN RUSSIA IN SPITE OF REGENT SENSATIONAL RUMORS.

St. Petersburg, November 12 3:20 a. m. The groundless nature of the alarmist re- ports that St. Bartholomew massacre would take place last night was demon- strated when the hours passed without the slightest development of mob spirit The only sign of anything out of the ordinary was that the Jewish stores were shuttered earlier than usuli in several streets, and localities, which rumor as signed as the scenes for rioting and Jew batting. Students in uniforms avoided these quarters and frequently patrols in- dicated that the authorities realized the necessity of preventing any outbreak in the capital.
 In an effort to pacify the country and end the patricidal strife Count Witte has asked the aid of the church and the Polish synod which is now under the issued an enclyical which will be read in all the churches of the empire in place of the usual Sunday sermon. It reminds Russians that wrath and hatred often change the nature of men and make them like wild beasts, forget the law of hu- manity and commit crimes causing eternal remorse.
 Thus Cain killed his brother Abel" the enclyical says, and went through life grooming under the burden of a great sin. Let not the blood of our brothers cry aloud to heaven for vengeance"

Sir Chentung in Chicauo.

Chicago, November 11.--At the banquet of the Chicago Merchants club tonight. Sir Chentung Liang Cheng. the Chinese minister. was the guest of honor, and de- livered the principal address of the eve- ming. He chose for the subject of his speech Commercial possibilities between the United States and China"
 The speaker. while speaking in the most courteous manner and frequently evokng the aplause of his listeners. laid indirectly at the door of the Un$ted States itself tho responsibility for the boycott recently instituted in China against American goods. Sir Chentung was heard with the greatest interest by the large number of business men who were around the banquet board, and his address was loudly applauded
 The address of Sir Chentung was in brief as follows:
 From the earliest intercourse of tho United States with China the relations between our two countries have been of the friendliest character. The constant policy of your government fin regard to the affairs of the far east has been ono of conspicuous magnanimity and justice. The Chinese as a government, therefore. are under a deep sense of gratitude and as a people are naturally most friendly toward the government and the people of the United States.

Demand Will Be Increased.

"As China Is brought more and moro closely in contact with foreign countries. and tho people come to learn the necesss- ties, they demand for foreign commodi- ties will be largely increased. China is not to a great extent manufacturing country, nor is she likely to be in the near future. Her people are too easily seized with what they can readily pur- chase in the worlds markets. Nor arc her people who have enjoyed art, culture. refinement for centuries, dislnclined to modern luxuries and conveniences. It Is anticipated that the abolition Of the likin tax, as provided in the recent conl- mercial treaties. when fully carried out. will forever destroy that formidable bar rier to international commerce so long depIored by merchants, both foreign and native alike"
