Headquarten for Dry Good RACING ON STEADT BASIS. California Turf Men Form Stock Com pany. SAN FRANCISCO. Sopt. 7.-The much discussed plan of Prince Andre Pon latowski to control and conduct raring at Tanforan and tngleslde has taken definite form. The San Francisco Jockey Club has organised with J1.000. 000 of preferred stock and a similar amount of common stock. But little of each class of stock Is to be Issued. The directors are Prince Ponlatowski, Charles Fair. J. J. Moore, of Menlo Park. J. Carolan ami Major Rathbone. The officers are: President, Prince Ponlatowski: vice-president, Charles Fair; secretary, P. Lynch PrinKle. 1 ne new jockey club is to lease Tan foran and Ingleside for a lengthy pe riod, the arrangement being satisfac tory to the stockholders of the two tracks. Tanforan Is to be formally leaded today. On September 12 next a lease of Ingleslde will be perfected. Prince Ponlatowski, who goes east to day, referring to the new club said: "Our stakes are all added money, every cent put up or received going to winners. Stakes will be the same every year and will thus become classic events. The moneys put up will in crease with the normal development of racing, but the conditions will remain the same, riving to winter racing In California a eputatlon of silliness and permanency which in t'ic past has been a sucjt's.t of yearly controversies in the East often keeping away a great rnany bo. semen."

The report that a punitive expedition Is starting from Tien Tsln for Pao Tin Fu Is probably eorr-ct, but the further statement that an allied column Is get ting out for Tal Yuen Fu, the present residence of the empress, nearly 100 mill's from Pekln, Is certainly fictitious. A suggestive Item of Chinese news yesterday was that an order suspending th departure of the fourth brlgmlc of Indian tro.ips has been cancelled and that the entire fore would prcod at once for the far Ka-st. Twelve hundred more Indian troops have been landed at Shanghai, so th.it there are now over Siw men there and loot camp followers. The German troops landed at Shanghai yesterday and the Austrian are also prer.iring to disembark small detach ment, doubtless to give moral support to the allies; so that powerful little International army Is gradually being formed at the Yangtse treaty port. It Is possible that the powers may al so have to land a force further south before long. Street riots are said to be frequent In Canton and the situation In that quarter Is by no means settled. The rut 1 lea t Ion of Admiral Seymour's detailed report of the operations of the abortive Pekln relief expedition has made a good Impression. The admlr:il pays high compliments to all the for eign sail rs and marines under his com mand, and there la no doubt that all concerned in this enterprise did very well. The report does not lead to be lief In the efficiency of regular Chinese troops. Had they possessed any skill :n the use of the ex.-ellent weapons with whlih they were armed thev should hie wiped out Sevmour's small de tachment, encumbered as It was with wounded nvn and helrg short of sup P'ies. Put the Chinese almost Invaria bly tired high and their volleys did lit tle execution. Li Hung Chang's secretary, accord ing to a message from Hong Kong, has arrived at that place and rf ports that Earl l.l leaves Shanghai for Pekln to morrow. Whether he will lie escorts! by a Japanese or Russian cruiser he was doubtful. Probably the task will oe mor congenlil to the latter. Germany's reply to the Russian pro posal for the evaluation of Pekln Is commented upon by nearly every paper this morning. The Times states that the German de cision Is one to which nobody need ob ject It Is for Germany as for each one of the powers to settle f r herself what her own position requires. The Standard says the answer from Berlin Is in fact a rejection of he Rus sian recommendation, though In form it aprears to be highly conciliatory. The News remarks that ;he reiily Is. as might have been expected, neither complete accep'ance nor entire rvfus.-!. In form It Is nearer refusal than accr' ance: In substance It Is nearer accr ance than refusal. The Telegraph says that nothing b. an explicit refusal to evacuate Pekln was to be expected from a nation which, through the murder of Its ambassador, has suffered In a peculiar degree from the brutal recklessness of the Boxers. The Mall says that Germnny'g decision to retain her troops at Pekin was cer tain firm the first for. though the Oer man policy Is above all things anxious to avoid quarrels with Russia, It Is not less anxious to avoid making Itfwlf ridiculous In the sight of the world, which result must Inevitably have fol lowed had Count Von Waidrs landed at Taku to find that even the German army had retlr?d. The Shanghai correspondent of tho Times say that the viceroy of Wu Chung has telegraphed to the British consul-general urging that Great Brit ain should without delav initiate peace negotiations. He lays stress upon the magnitude of the British trade Inter ests, which are seriously thrateml by tne possininry or a continuance of d s- order. HILL 13 FOR BRYAN.
