TROTTED MILE IN 2:02 3-4
CRESCEUS LOWERS WORLD'S REC
ORD AT CLEVELAND.
Time Also Establishes a New
Trotting Record for Both.
Sexes Other Races.
CLEVELAND, July 26. Amid the' en
thusiastlc cheers of nearly 10,000 people,
Cresoeus, the world's champion trotting
stallion, again demonstrated that he is
the peer of all trotters by trotting a
mile this afternoon over the Glenville
track in 2:02. This establishes a new
world's trotting record for both sexes,
replacing the former world's record of
2:03tf. held by The Abbot Owing to the
heavy rains of last night, the track was
not In the best of condition today, and It
was about 6:30 P. M. before the track
was deemed to be in sufficiently good
shape to warrant making the attempt
At that time, the sun's heat had been
replaced by cool breezes. Even then there
were few horsemen who looked for a mile
better than 2:05. After having been given
several preliminary miles, George Ketch
tim came out with the stallion to attempt
what seemed an Impossible feat Ketchum
nodded for the word on the third score,
the horse trotting like a machine.
Accompanied byxa runner, the chestnut
stallion fairly flew to the quarter, the
timers' watches registering just 30 sec
onds. As Cresceus swung into the back
"stretch, he was joined by a second run
ner, and although many predicted that
the footing was such as would retard his
speed, he reached the halfin 1:01. As the
time was hung out, the immense crowd
broke Into cheers. The three-quarter pole
was reached in 1:31, and as the great
stallion trotted Into the stretch, a run
ner on either side, his ' f rictlonless, machine-like
stride was fairly eating up the
distance. Never once faltering, notwith
standing the terrific clip, bj& fairly flew
to the wire, not being touched once by
the whip, his sole urging being the driv
er's voice, and the thundering hoof-beats
of the accompanying runners.
As the time for the mile was announced,
2:02?i, and the immense crowd realized
that a new world's record had been es
tablished, Ketchum and his favorite stal
lion received an ovation such as has been
seldom witnessed on a race track. Thou
sands of enthusiastic people rushed out
on the track, and Ketchum was lifted
from the sulky and carried to the grand
stand on the shoulders of admirers. Cheer
after cheer rent the air. and the name
of Cresceus was upon the lips of every
one present "Ketchum! Ketchum!"
yelled the crowd, and the owner of the
sturdy son of Robert McGregor was al
most carried to the judges' stand, where
he delivered a brief address.
Cresceus now not only holds the world's
trotting record for both sexes, but last
week, at the Detroit Grand Circuit meet
ing, by trotting in 2:06?i and 2:05 in his
race against Charlie Herr, secured the
world's record for the two fastest heats
ever trotted in a race, his second mile in
2:05 also being a new world's record for
the fastest mile ever trotted in a race,
and also the fastest second heat ever
trotted. Summary:

NO DOUBLE BASEBALL SEASON.
Iden Is Rejected nt Seattle Meeting
League Prosperous.
SEATTLE. July 26. At the meeting of
the officers of the Pacific Northwest
League, this afternoon, at the Seattle
Hotel, the matter of the division of the
seaeon was finally disposed of. After a
lengthy discussion of the project it was
unanimously decided that It was to the
best interests of the league to continue
the season as first Intended. W. H. Lu
cas, president of the League, said, this
evening:
"The dlvtelon of the baseball season Into
two halves has been tried In several of
the minor leagues, and has always proved
a failure. In has been tried In this sec
tion of the country In 1892 and again In
1S93. On neither occasion was It a suc
cess. The general effect of such a move
has always been such that the public
has lost Interest In the game.
"My report of the finances of the league
from June 14 to July 15 was presented at
the meeting. The league Is now In a
prosperous condition. With the best
weather of the season before, us and the
Elks' Carnival at Tacoma, and fairs at
Portland and Spokane, there Is no reason
why It should not pay better than ever."
The meeting was attended by President
Lucas. Ralph Dodd, of the Spokane Club;
J. C. Hewitt, of Tacoma; J. G. Fox and
D. E. Dugdale, of Seattle, and J. P. Mar
shall, of Portland.

swung across the course, fouling the Nel
son crew and throwing them out of the

Victoria, made a game effort to catch
Portland, and finished a close second,
with Nelson five lengths behind. Victoria
was last. Time, 9:25.

and was won by Patton. Time, 11:22.

Newport-Martha's . Vineyard Race
Was a Fizzle.
VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass.. July 26.
The squadron run of the New York Yacht

proved to be the first fizzle of the cruise.

north. A few raindrops were falling, and
the Indications for good weather for the
37-mile run to Vineyard Haven did not
seem particularly propitious.
The starting line today was at Brenton's
Reef lightship. On the way out, the
yachts encountered a heavy rain squall,
which took some of the life out of the
breeze, so that at 10 o'clock it was blow
ing only a little over five knots.
The starting gun for the sloops was fired
at 10:50, the Athens crossing first The
Vigilant and Navahoe, however, miscal
culated the time, and had to turn back,
crossing the line about three minutes aft
er the gun was fired. The schooners
started at 10:55, all getting well up to
windward.

ARE NOT "NUISANCES."
Reply to 3Ir. Yerex's Arraignment of
Missionaries.
PORTLAND. July 25. (To the Editor.)
I have greatly enjoyed the letters of Mr.
Yerex in The Oregonlan from the Orient
What he has to say on the missionary
question is, however, so much at variance
with the facts and the question is of
such vital importance to the countries
concerned that a few comments seem
called for. Having spent some years as
a teacher In Singapore, my opportunities
for observation of missionary work in
that part of the world have been far su
perior to those which a traveler meets.
In his letter from Singapore, published
In The Oregonlan recently, Mr. Yerex
states that' "the Dutch. Government Is
almost universally commended for rigid
ly adhering to the missionary exclusion
law, which prohibits the introduction of
missionary work In the territory under
their control, leaving the natives to work
out their salvation according to the dic
tates of their conscience, and the prosecu
tion of the work of civilization in the
hands of the traders." Inasmuch as I
am personally acquainted with a half
dozen missionaries. who are doing or have
been doing missionary work under the
protection of tho Dutch Government in
the Dutch East Indies; it necessarily fol
lows that the Dutch Government. Is not
"universally commended" for adhering to
an exclusion kw which, does not exist
The Idea that any civilized government
would leave "the prosecution of the work
of civilization in the hands of traders"
is amusing, to say the least It is "a
well-known fact that the trader takes
debauchery and moral ruin whenever he
goes among a so-called "heathen" peo
ple, and it is often beyond the abilities of
the missionaries who follow the traders
to restore the people to a moral condi
tion equal to that which existed before
the arrival of Mr. Yerex's clvillzers.
In his letter from Colombo, published In
The Oregonlan, Mr. Yerex says: "It Is
practically tho universal opinion of busi
ness men throughout Asia that the mis
sionaries are a very undesirable adjunct
to the population." How strange, then,
that the British Government gives so
many thousands of pounds annually to
the support of missionary Institutions in
its Asiatic possessions! I have myself
heard the late Governor of the Straits
Settlement speak more than once in pub
lic in highly commendatory .terms of the
work of the American Methodist mission
In Singapore. The President of the mu
nicipality, the Secretary, Assistant Sec
retary and Superintendent of Public
Works at Singapore are all friends and
patrons of missions. As Mr. Yerex wrote
in his letter from Singapore, the Chinese
are "by far tho most Important factor
In the development of the country and
foreign trade." That these "business
men" do not consider missionaries a "con
founded nuisance" is evident from the
fact that they have contributed thou
sands of dollars in cash to missionary
work In that city. The "business men" In
Asia who consider the missionaries "a
confounded nuisance" are those who feej
affronted at seeing the natives taught a
higher morality than the aforementioned
business men themselves are willing to
practice. There are in Southern Asia
nearly half a million people of mixed Eu
ropean and Asiatic blood, called Eura
sians, the product of Mr. Yerex's clvillz
ers, for the most part' For their sake
alone, If for no other reason, is missionary
work justified. England has been con
fronted with the question whether the
sons and daughters of her sons should
be brought up in a darkness worse than
heathen, because, in addition to heathen
maternity, they bear the stigma of fa
miliarity with the worst vices of Europe,
or whether they should be made a self
respecting people and a powerful adjunct
to British empire in the Orient. There
could be but one decision. Whatever may
have been the opinions of the "business
men" with v whom Mr. Yerex mingled on
his trip, the British Government has of
fered and is offering every possible aid
to missionary work in its Asiatic posses
sions. JOHN H. WHITAKER.

Introduced a bill authorizing King Edward

Americans Regard Bill as Bad.
BERLIN, July 26. The text of the tariff
measure appeared too late for comment
in the evening papers. Comment in Ber

the amended schedules are monstrous, in

Industrial and commercial classes, to
gether with serious Injury to foreign
trade, tariff wars and hindrances to com
mercial treaties. Americans In business In
Berlin regard the bill as exceedingly bad
for Germany and the United States. Be
sides .the agricultural schedules, the
Americans express keen disappointment
at the heavy Increases In machinery.
The present duties, ranging from 2 to
S marks per hundredweight, are in

ican woods are also hard hit.

Killing in Many Districts.
VICTORIA, B. C., July 26. Advices by
the steamer Duke of Fife, from the Ori

and killing around Moukden. All the vil
lages and hamlets have been burned, and
hundreds of the inhabitants who offered
resistance have been killed. The, Russian
forces are entirely insufficient to main

Antung, In the southeastern part of
Shlng King, the insurgents are daily de
veloping strength. They now number
several thousand, and have possession of
Klullen Chlng as well as Antung. The
effects of the disturbances are felt even
in Wlju. beyond the Manchurian frontier.
The Russian garrison In Fenchwang does
not seem to be sufficient to cope with the
movement, and reinforcements will have
to be sent from Port Arthur or Mouk
den, an operation requiring some time.
A great number of Chinese men and
women are reported to have fled from Ta
tung to Che Foo, the insurgents having
brought the former place within the
sphere of .their operations.
The rising In the neighborhood of
Fenchwangtlen Is continually gaining
strength, and it is believed that there is

north of Pao Ting. Inquiries made by
the French from Pao Ting have discov

a matter of vital importance to the pub
lic health and the agricultural interests
of the country, the government should
immediately Institute a rigid inquiry Into
the identitty of human and bovine tuber
culosis. Other resolutions passed endorsed the
educational work of the national socie

sis, and Invited legislation In support of
this work. The appointment of a perma
