one-half miles in length. This is ad-
joined by the turf track, which is one
and three-eighths miles long, and an
additional track in the oval of one mile
and a quarter.
The steeplechase course Of one mile
and quarter may be extended by
adding the training track and infeld
to total distance of two and three.
quarter miles The straightaway chute
is an ideal course for sprinting races.
IL is seven furlongs in length and is
the only absolutely straight course Of
this length in the United States. The
training track is a valuable addition,
as it can be used at all times for exer.
else, and there be need of no cutting
up Of the main track for that purpose.
IL can also be used to increase the
length Of the main track and steeple-
chase course. All the tracks have a
uniform width of 100 feet Unusual
care has been given to the making Of
these tracks, and, while they do not
differ materially from other tracks of
standard construction except in the
matter of drainage, they may be said
to be the most perfect specimens of
the track builders skill to be found in
this country. The top surface is a
sandy loan which was the original soil
excavatcd to make way for the foun-
datious Of the tracks. 1t was carefully |
preserved and replaced after it had |
been screened.
Every care has been taken TO make |
the tracks dry and firm, compact and
fast, but just as much has been taken
to avoid making them hard enough to
injure the horses. BY means OF a new
plan for sprinkling, the entire surface
Of all the tracks can be sprinkled uni.
formly and in very few minutes.
The convenience Of the arrangements
for communication is a feature. With
out leaving their stand the judges can
communicate with any portion Of the
park by means Of n complete telephone
system. which is in direct communica-
ion with every starting point and the
observers placed along the tracks.

RUSSIAN SOLDIERS AT MUkDEN

-. OF PORT ARTHUR.
AWARE OF DESPERATE SITUATION
TENOR OF OPINION THAT IMPOR.
TANT EVENTS WILL OCCUR
BEFORE WAR ENDS.

Mukden, Jan. Z, via Peking Jan. 8.
Though the news of Port Arthur's
capitulation was first generally known
here today it was surmised by the
Russian army Jan. from the cheer
ing heard in the japanese camp along
the entire line, when cries OF 'banZai'
were heard. While. concerned at the
disaster the Russians are lost in ad
miratiOn of the wonderful and unex
ampled defense. Although the deaths
OF Generals F'Ock and KondratenkO
were not published here the facts re-
garding FOck had been accepted for
six weeks and the condition Of Port
Arthur was known throughout The
authorities here, as early as Dec. 25,
denied that relief vessels had success
fully run the blockade as reported and
candidly admitted the desperation OF
the heroic defenders. The Russians
regarded the expectations OF foreign
expert visitors to Port Arthur before
the war that Port Arthur would doubt
less resist tor eighteen months as be
ing too optimistic, provided there was
no relief.
While it is impossible to telegraph
the tenor of opinion yet it is evident
that greater events must hanspire be-
fore the end of the war is apparent.
There was all unusual CannOnaulng
yesterday along the center. 1t was
continued in moderate form today.

RECENT ORDER ABRoeATEp.
Mira. Chadwick Under Sole Jurisdiction
of Sheriff.

Cleveland, Jan. 9Judges Wing Of
the United States district court has
abrogated his recent order that no
person should be allowed to see Mrs.
Chadwick in the county Jail without
written permit signed by the United
States marshal.
The attention of the court said
Judge Wing, has been called to the
fact that the provision conflicts with
the rules for the conduct Of the sheriff
as keeper Of the county Jail made by
the judges of the court of common
pleas under the authority of the stat
utes of Ohio
This decision places Mrs. Chadwick
absolutely under the jurisdiction OF the
sheriff while she continues to be con-
fined TO the county Jail and the latter
official will have the sole authority to
say who shall or who shall not see her.
It is intimated, however, that the
federal officials may take further ac.
ton to prevent this, possibly by re-
moving Mrs. Chadwick to some other
Jail or prison.

contention, cited local case in which
the supreme court had taken action

LEADERS SUMMONED TO
The WHITE HOUSE.
LEGISLATIVE ]. QUESTIONS CONSIDERED
PARTY uNANIMlTY DESIRED BY
PRESIDENT ON MATTERS
OF IMPORTANCE.

Washington Jan. 9.asevera1 Of the
leading Republicans in congress had a
conference with President Roosevelt
during the afternoon to consider with
him legislative questil.s now pend
ing before congress. me conference
was held at the instande of the presi-.
dent, invitations entireiy informal i'll
character having been extended by
him to those present.
Those invited were Speaker Cam
non, Senators Aldrich sof Rhode ISL
and, Allison of Iowa, Srooner5of Wis
consin and Platt of Connecticut and
Representatives Payne of New York,
Dalzell of Pennsylyania, Tawney OF.
Minnesota and Grosvenos of Ohio. The
senator's are members gof the senate
steering committee and the represent
tatives are members Vt the house
ways and means committee, in addi-.
ton to the speaker.
The personnel Of the delegation in
vited naturally would suggest that.
matters relating to the ari,ff were to
be considered at the Conference, as
the senator's called blythe president
are the tariff experts cEsahe body they
represent, and the e1IepTesentaJlves eA-
cept the speaker, are the leaulng uiem-
bers OF the ways and means coinulit
tee, which, would initiate any tarlil
Legislation that it might be deemeds
desirable to present to son gress. The
president has indicated it to be his
purpose to consult with members OF
congress before recommending ANY
action regarding the
Proposed Revision of the Tariff.
That consideration of tEst subject was
one of the objects of the days confer
ence is known. Differences Of opinion
have arisen as to What, if any, action
is to be taken and an EFFORT was made
at the conference to reconcile those
differences and, if posssnle, to- deter
mine upon o. l5ae .,lss 9 Isse tiure thpsl
will be satisfactory to Republicans
generally. The members summoned to
the conference spoke for themselves
as individuals and for other Repub-
lican members of the senate and house
with whom they have consulted resa "a.
Ing the tariff question,
It is likely also that other legislative
questions, IN addition to that OF the
tariff, We're discussed with a view to
securing unanimity Of action BY the
Republicans regarding Legislation al
the present session. There is no prob
ability OF action on the tariff question
this winter. Indeed il is inCImated
very strongly that if action should be
determined upon it will be taken next
fall at an extraordinary session, al
though some pressure has been
brought to bear upon the president
and the congressional leaders to IN
duce the holding OF all extraordinary
session at an earlier date than that.
Earlier in the day, in line with his
policy OF consulting members of con
gress concerning proposed legislation,
the president had talks, with Senators
Cullom OF Illinois, Beveridge of Indi-
ana. Nelson Of Minnesota and Lodge
OF Massachusetts,. Several topics were
discussed, but no conclusions were
reached
