OLYMPIAN SECOND. ATKINS THlk Attendance at the Big: Rooo "Wan Smaller Than Expected Results on Other Tracks. NEW YORK, Aug. 25. After a Journey of 3000 miles to ride William G. Whitney's colt Ballyhoo Bey, Tod Sloan, the whilom American Jockey who has done altof hla riding: In Europe for the last two years, succeeded In sending: his mount first past the post In the rich Futurity stakes at Sheepshead Bay today and gathered In $33,030 for his employer. The favorite, Olympian, was second, Tommy Atkins, from the same stable, landed in third place, with the others trailing. The win ner was ridden out. The attendance at the bis race was not asdarge as had been expected, for it was thought that the track would be deep in mud, and such was the case at 10 o'clock in the morning. Nevertheless, fully 15, 000 people were on the grandstand, down on the land, against" the rails In the Inner Held, and up In the "free" field. When the horses were called to the post Just before half-past 4 o'clock, the crowd had been coming in steadily since noon, but there was no great rush at any time. From sunrise until the first race was called and between the races, a big gang of men were at work on the track, scrap ing, raking and harrowing it, turning up the wet soil to the drying heat of the sun, and It was In good condition when the race was called, to the great sur prise of everybody. , The big crowd waited patiently through the first race and applauded wildly when the Whitney youngster. Rowdy, was set back from second place for a foul. They Baw Mr. Whitney win the second with Rush, and then' plunged on Jean Beraud to win the Fall handicap, but Sloan, who had the mount, after getting off flat footed, rode into a pocket in the stretch and was unplaced. Then came the big race and the parade of the highly-bred youngsters, led by the Keene trio, Tommy Atkins, Cap And Bells and Olympian, with Elkhorn and Baly hoo Bey, of the Whitney Btrlng, next, and the others following. They got to the post promptly, and in a very few min utes came the first break, which was a false one, Golden Age refusing to -Join his company. The second was worse, for three refused, but the starter caught them in line the third time the flag flew through the air, and they Tvero off to a good start. Spencer, who was on Cap And Bells; rushed his mount into the lead at once, but Sloan, on Ballyhoo Bey, was not caught napping, and sent his horse along side the flying filly, Elkhorn. Golden Ago and Tommy Atkins were close up and they came down the chute like a line of cavalry. Spencer, who was plainly out to make the running for hls stable mates, sent Cap And Bells along at her best speed, but, do what she could, it was Im possible to shake off Ballyhoo Bey, who, a neck away, was principally helping her I make the-pace. Sloan was crouched low over her neck, wide awake to his advan tage, as he was in a position to choose his own going on a track that was siry and yet wet in places. At the end of the first furlong, Henry had brought Olympian, another of the Keene trio, from eighth place to third, and was a length and a half behind Ballyhoo Bey, while Tommy Atkln3, Elk horn and Sweet Lavender were heads apart a half length away, the others be ing already far out of the race. The positions were unchanged through the next furlong. Cap and Bella and Bally hoo Bey were running head and head In front, the latter going much the easier of the two, and Sloan looking around for danger from behind. All through the third furlong, Spencer was urging Cap And Bells. She was run ning gamely and still held a Blight ad vantage, but it was plain to all that she could not hold her speed to the end. The pace was beginning to tell, and Henry, seeing this, sent Olympian along to mako issue with Ballyhoo Bel. These three rounded the bend Into the stretch necks apart, but Cap And Bells was done, and from this point gradually dropped be hind, Spencer easing her up when he found he was beaten. Ballyhoo Bey was still running ctrong and true, and a furlong from home was a neok in front of Olympian, with Tommy Atkins, already under the whip, closing strong a length back. From there home it was a hard drive. The crowd in the grandstand was shouting and cheering, the hysterical shrieks of the women ris ing above all. "The favorite wins!" was the shout. "No, the favorite is beaten!" "Ballyhoo Bey wins!" was then heard from the followers of the Whitney stable. Sloan was no longer crouched over the neck of his horse, but was riding des perately with whip and spur. Henry was also working hard on Olympian, and for a few strides It was hard to tell which would stand the drive better. Gradually, however. Sloan, with all his skill and cunning, drew away with Ballyhoo Bey and, amid the wildest enthusiasm, sent the game little colt across the finish line a length and a half before Olympian. Tommy Atkins was a third of a length behind His stable mate, while, five lengths away, Sweet Lavender headed the re mainder of the tired field. The Futurity of 1900 was over, and Ballyhoo Bey, for whom William a Whit ney paid 512,000 as a yearling, was the hero of the day. Sloan and his fleet mount received an ovation when they cantered back to weigh in. The band played "Hall to the Chief." and the lucky winners pushed wildly Into the ring to cash.

"That the -French Government Is pre paring for war there canno longer bo any doubt" The iPall Mall Gazette makes this state ment editorially. It does but put In concrete form what newspapers in all parts of England have been saying In a more veiled way for three days. A remarkable war scare has spread through England. No particular Inci dent of importance started it, but dozens of little suspicious indications are add ing to the size of the scare dally. There Is absolutely no reason for war between France and England, save the implac able hatred of every class of each nation for the other. The Barlsian newspapers continuously ridicule the English In ar ticles and cartoons, and the London pa pers reply ponderously with- assaults on the instability of the French Govern ment and the failure of the Paris Expo sition. Newspapers in all parts of England havo contained scare articles during the last three days on the active French military and naval preparations, such as laying in supplies of coal, strengthening the fortified seaports, increasing the Navy, stationing more ishlps at Calais, Brest and the channel ports, arranging for extensive Autumn maneuvers close to coast towns and the unusual activity on both land and sea. What specially have scared tlie Eng. lish are the French experiments with submarine boats. The English Navy ha3 no such boats, while France is believed to have several effective ones. These submarine boats are liable to become a nightmare in England, as their powers are already being magnified tremendous- The flrst official recognition of this state of things came today when the orders of the English Admiralty for increasing the channel fleet became known. It Is the custom to keep the larger portion of the home squadron In reserve and out of commission at the naval stations. All the usual naval reserve squadron will now be put Into commission. The newest and best battle-ships and cruisers are to be kept in constant readiness. The home fleet will be divided into two squadrons, one never to leave the coast, the othet pe'ver to go further than Gibraltar. Many ships are to be fitted out with wireless telegraphy and the channel is to be patrolled by torpedo-boats. ' Pneumatic Mall Tnhea. WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. The cities at which the pneumatic tube service inves tigation ordered by Congress will be con ducted, have been selected at the Post office Department as follows: New York, Brooklyn. Boston, Philadelphia, "Wash ington, New Orleans, SanFranci3co, Den ver, St Louis, Chicago and Cincinnati. It is thought the investigation will be confined to these cities, although It may be found necessary to add several others. The Investigation will begin as soon as possible, and will be conducted In each locality by the respective postmasters and division superintendents of the rail way service. Their reports and recom mendations will be considered later by a general committee of postal experts, who will visit each city In turn and also in vestigate conditions. The flatter com mittee will utilize the services of ex perienced engineers and experts. Germany's China Policy Has Undergone No Change, DESPITE THE KAISER'S TALK Continuance of the "War Depends on the Chinese The Naval Maneu vers White's Intervlevrs. BERLIN, Aug. 25.-Offlcial circles here emphasize the statement that Germany, J shal Count von Waldersee's appointment CHOSEN .QUEEN ' -& MISS ALICE to the command of the allied forces in China, stands In precisely the same atti tude, as before. Germany, lt Is added, still insists on carrying out the pro gramme which the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count von Bulow, published in his circular of July 8, and which was ap proved here and abroad. It is also of ficially stated that all the other powers interested still adhere to that programme, of which there now remain two most im portant paragraphs, viz.: Adequate re dress for Chinese crimes against Inter national rights and the re-establishment of an orderly state of affairs and the Installation of a government willing and ,able to give guarantees against the re 'currenca of the recent outrages. Many papers, however, continue to express dis trust of the intentions of several of the powers, especially Great Britain and France, claiming they have separate plans regarding the Yangtse Valley and the southern provinces. So far as Russia Is concerned, the German press is not ex ercised, because it has been officially ad mitted that Germany does not oppose any Russian plans affecting the northern provinces, as not touching Germany's po litical or commercial interests. The be lief Is generally held here by both the government and the press that Count von Waldersee will find plenty to do after his arrival in China, even If his command Is restricted to the Province of Pe Chi LI. The leading centrist organ, the Cologne Yolks Zeitung, forms an exception to this rule, sounding a warning against Von Waldersee's overstepping the bounds drawn by Count von Bulow. The Lokal Anzelger publishes an Inter view with a Chinese diplomat here, who is quoted as saying: "Neither the Em peror nor the Dowager Empress will re turn to the capital until the foreign troops are withdrawn. Therefore, the al lies had better appoint either a provision al government or a regent, proposing for tho latter Prince Ching." The Chinese diplomat also advises concluding peace and accepting the offer of LI Hung Chang, "who assuredly Is empowered either by the Tsung II Yamun, the Emperor or the Empress." He further remarked that the war was certainly over, "since China has neither generals, soldiers or material left" The only danger of a renewal of hostilities, he declared, was "if harm befell the Empress or Emperor." Tho Foreign .Offlco publishes a letter !ftMm&Mf2i'&r 2cs3yil2SK l))n iimftYSA ' mttKrwk ffiail -fm4w xSifiifr: . r H3?McS3aiVv. vv V 1 I I HfflJJ ;?&fteQ ?Ssk. jKiSS$5?JlK,Sl&PS!S3o from the Taotai of Amoy to the German Consul there, expressing his deep regret at the death of Baron von Ketteler, the late German Minister at Pekln. The Foreign Office, officials Informed the Associated Press correspondent this afternoon' that they had not received any direct news from "Pekln since Thursday, and expressed apprehension . that the communications were Interrupted. They say It depends entirely upon China whether the war will be continued. Re ferring to the- status of the Chinese Am bassador here, a Foreign Office official said: "Ambassador Lu Is still Tecelved at the Foreign Office whenever he has anything to communicate. The Foreign Office does not regard him as qualified now to carry out serious political negotiations." The Foreign Office has no news from Baron von Kettelers widow. Count von Solms, the imperial com missioner for voluntary sanitary work in China, wrote to J. B. Jackson, secretary" of the United States Embassy here, re cently, thanking him for the offer of the OF THE CARNIVAL THAYER. American hospital ship Maine to accom modate the German wounded and sick in China. In return. Count von Solms tenders the use of all the German san itary arrangements there to the United States Army and Navy. The naval maneuvers this week wero Interesting in demonstrating the fact that torpedo-boat3 are powerless to attack big vessels at night if proper vigilance is observed. The fleet today, after renew ing its coal supply, will sail around Skagen Into the Baltic, where there will be tactical and reconnoltering evolutions during the coming week, arriving August SO at Noufahrwasser to recoal. The Emperor and Empress today attend ed the unveiling of the monument erected to the memory of his grandfather, Wil liam I, at Erfurt There will be a big review on the Tempelhof field next Sat urday. It will be attended by the King of Wurtemburg, the Grand Duke ot Hesse, Prince Henry of Prussia, the Grand Duke of Oldenberg and many other royalties, beside General Ludlow, of the United States Army. The German Gov ernment has shown great attention to a number of other American officers, who,' in addition to General Ludlow, are here to study German naval and military In stitutions, notably Captain, Mitchell, of the Ordnance Department, who inspected the German method of manufacturing smokeless powder, and Naval Constructor Woodward, who inspected Kiel, Dantzic and other yards. An exposition of South and Central American vegetable products has been opened here, and will remain open until September 20. The papers here comment on the Inter views and speeches of Andrew D. White, the United States Ambassador to Ger many, on the subject of German rela tions. The Kreuz Zeitung disputes Mr. White's assertion that the excitement here regarding the Dingley tariff has sub sided, and that the latest Von Holleben Hay agreement is considered here to be important, pointing out that all the Im portant points at issue are left untouched by the latter, Including sugar. Dr. von Holleben, tho German Ambas sador to the United States, who arrived here recently, has gone to Carlsbad. AGAINST THE FIELD Traveling Men Propose Come Out First. to THEIS PARADE AT THE STREET FAIR It "Will Be the SXdat Unique Proces sion Ever Gotten Up on tho Pacific Coast. What In earlier days was the fond dream r of traveling men regarding their parade in tne street Fair and Carnival. Is fast becoming assured fact. One of the great est attractions of this novel celebration will bo on Traveling Men,s day Septem ber 8. A host of the most active, in genious and persevering business men of the state are Into the venture and it can not help but be a success. Traveling men are taking hold of the work aa though their business reputation depended on a successful and peerless parade. What a traveling man cannot do- when he makes a serious effort, is not worth while for an outsider to tryv There are countless hum ble country merchants who will testify to the fact that the traveling man can mako white black, sell goods when a man does not need or want them, and make any single firm for which he travels tho best on earth. Tho diversified talent3 and persistency required for such perform ances are not necessary In getting up the big" parade, for only traveling men are to deal with. "When Greek meets Greek. fur flies, but when Greek combines against the fleld, lt Is a walk-over. When work for the Traveling Men's pa rade commenced, lt was understood that only commercial men were making tha ef fort. This mistake was Immediately cor rected, and every traveling man. of what ever hue or calling, has been Included. An insurance traveler, a traveling rail way passenger or freight agent and a commercial traveler are on the same foot ing in the effort. Any one familiar with the number of men. thus employed and their business ability. Is capable of con ceiving what may be expected. An Immense field has been fenced for the development of traveling men's genius. When the committee decided to typify every age of traveling men since history furnishes authentic records, no better plan could have been adopted for giving these traveling men opportunity. How they will appear 3 one point where the discreet man does not venture even a conjecture. The apprehensive people need not be startled to behold some freaks. That the parade will be a crowning suc cess 13 the only safe conclusion, for ono could not doubt that "with all the traveling men back of lt. This will be a clay when traveling men go against tho fleld, for lt has been said confidently that no other day can equal theirs. The order of the procession has already been fixed. These details have been put in print and will be carried out faithfully. At the head of the procession will march a squad of police, commanded by Sergeant Moore, and these will be followed by a band. President Alexander Kunz, imme diately following, will lead tho traveling mon.1 In the following order will then come the executive committee; a body of traveling "men numbering 200r A. H. De vers, the chairman of the parade com mittee; the parade committee; Flfteenh Century stand. In which tjie traveling man appears horseback, his merchandise on a wagon and the outfit guarded by six troopers; members of committee; 100 traveling men; band; committee; Six teenth Century stand. In which the trav eling man Is a voyager in a three-masted vessel, seeking his customers by sea; com mittee; 100 traveling men; committee; Sev enteenth Century stand. in which the traveling man distributes books of learning to enlighten his pa trons, and Is followed by four pages: committee; 50 traveling men; committee; Eighteenth Century stand, representing the Indian trader seeking the aborigines and using furs as the medium of exchange; band; committee: 50 travel ing men; committee: stand of 1S50, In which the traveling man Is represented aa a peddler with his pack mules, slx-horso wagons with merchandise, all of which were used by the traveling man of that date: committee; stand of 1SS0, wherein the traveling man Is penetrating tho great West In buckboards. stage coaches, etc.;. committee; 50 traveling men; committee; Nineteenth Century stand. In which three traveling men are thoroughly up-to-date, having porters carrying their sample cases and all attired In style. An up-to-date Pullman car will be the next float and people can compare tho comforts of traveling today with what pioneers in the business encountered. A float represent ing the country hotel dining-room and kitchen will be the last. What this can be made may be imagined frqm the tales heard from traveling men who visit tho country. It seems an opportunity for the patron to get even with mlnelhost Costumes of these different periods will be elaborate and typical. Much time and money Is being expended to have them correct Some of the genial knights of the grip will shine In semi-regal gar ments worn centuries ago. OPPOSE SENATOR CHANDLER Strong Combination In Ifevr Hamp shire to Defeat Him. WASHINOTON, Aug. 20. Senator Chandler having openly announced his Intention to seek re-election, the fight for his seat is on in earnest. Chandler, though strong with the voters of tha state, has to run against great odds. Ar rayed against him are the Gallinger forces, the Boston & Maine .Railroad and the Republican machine, a very powerful combination. After the fight last year between Gallinger and Chandler, over civil service, Involving .the commission and a prolonged investigation, the two Senators have not spoken, and are bitter enemies. Gallinger is chairman of tho state central committee, .and has begun a stiff campaign against his colleague, enlisting the support of the Republican machine and the railroad company. Tha company Is against Chandler -because he forces lt to disclose lt3 system of Issuing passes to Legislators, and has a candldato for the Senatorial seat -In Its attorney. The machine has a candidate in a local politician, and Congressman Sulloway 13 an Independent candidate for the Senator ship. HlRher Business Training. NEW YORK. Aug. 25. Henry M.
