CrLEvELARD, O., August 1.—(Special Tele- gram to Tue Bre.|]—This was & day of great events among the trotters who took part In the grand cirouit programme at the driving park. Axtell, the most wonderful colt ever seen on the turf, reduced his record 1o 2:14%. Guy, the black meteor, placed himself sec- ond among geldings by a mile in 2:103{, snd the winuers in the regular olasses accom- plished flights almost as sensational. The chief interest was in Axtell, the phenomenal three-year-old, who bad been advertised to trot against the stallion record for all ages. This, it secms, was & mistake, and the trial wis really against his own wile in 2:15. Soon after 8 o'clock the Iowa colt made Lis ersay agalnst the watch, He was driven by C. W. Willlams, fis owner, and a_runner handloa by John Splan helped the pace. adily _slong assed the wire and set out for fresh honors 1o reached the first quarter in 3814 seconds and the half in 1:0/}. Frome theie to the third quarter the rate was the same, wad that point was passed in 1:41. This was faster than a 1:95 @ so far, and there was supprossed —excito- ment to see tho final resuit, Axtell kept up his clip without a waiver ard finished strong at the samo rato as the soc- ond and third quartors, A moment later the timo was announced at 2:14%, and a cheer went up from the 10,000 admiring spectators, Then Guy appeared to beat his record of 8:13, After dancing about tor fifteen min- utes the black trotter was taken away up the stretch, and he camedown fast. He made the quarters as follows: 333, B3¢, 825, 3314, which gave him a new mark of 2:105{. His owaer had decided to try him without toe waeights, which proved mistake, and the gelding would surely have beaten £:10 nad © been weighed properly. The throe regular events were disposed in eleven hoats. Jack was greater race horse than ever to-day, beating the field in straight heats, tho first in 2:15%. Seymour Belle was also very fast in this race, There was an eXciting contest of flve heats in tho 2:94 class, which was finally won cleverly by the Chicago mare, Colvena Sprague, who lowered her record to 2:193¢, Billy Mack, a Minneapolis trotter, got a neat in 2:19, but went lame. The Buffalo mare ing Bird, also earncd a new record of in the first heat, the slowest mile of the afternoon. In the 2:18 class the erratic Thornless was in rare form, defeating a great field in straignt heats ‘with a new mark of 2:161¢ in the second, None of the rest could get near him in any part of the race. To-morrow the meeting ends with three regular events, the aud free-for-all trots and the 2:17 pace.

CEICAGO, August 1.—[Special Telegram to TnE Bee.]—There was a good crowd at the West Side races to-day, despite the threaten- ing skies. The judges raised a great storm after the last race by their aecision, and for a time it looked as though they might be mobbed, Dakota and Chestnut Belle ran a dead heat. According to the rules the run-off was to take place after tweoty minutes, and @ great mass of sports placed their money on Da- kota, saying that Chestnut Belle looked com- pletely fagged out. When the horses started Dakota balked slightly and fell back two lengths. The jockey soon had him up, how- ever, and when in‘ the stretch Dakota was three lengtus ahead. All at once he crossed the mare's track and in the club house turn Jockey Vignes was seen to fall. He thought Dakota was going to try to jump a big roller near the judge's stand and jumped. He was remounted instantly, but before he reached the judge's stand Da- kota was disqualitied and Chestnut Belle's number hucg out.

Davesronr, In., August 1.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Be.|—The heaviest deal flourmg mill property ever mado in Iowa wus consummated in this city to-day, the amount involved being close on to half a million dol- lars. Deeds woro filed for record transfor- ring to the Davenport Milling company the Phaenix mills, the Crescont mills and the City clevator, The mew concern will be known as whe Dayenport Milling company, and will control the entire flouring intorest of this city, already much the largest in the state, The present capacity of the concern is 1,000 barrels a day, and this will soon be incrensed. Itis the intention of the pur- chasing syndicato to build up a_gigantio flouring business at this point, which bas special ddvantages for the manufacture of certain brands of flour, because locatod mid- way Dbetween the wheat flelds and mills of the morth and of the south, and directly on the road of Nobraska product to Chicago.

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia., August 1.—[Special Telegram to Tre Bre.]—The colored people of Iowa celebrated Emancipation day at this place to-day with an enthusiastic attendance and geveral rejoicing. Delegations were present from Des Moines, Oskaloosa and other places, forming a procession headed by the colored band of Muchikinock. The chief event of the day was tho address by ex- Senator Blanche K. Bruce., The significant part of his speech was its reference to the troatment of the colored men by the present administration. On this point he said: 'here is a laudable, and under the oir- cumstances 1 think not an unreasonable, de- sire among our people to occupy positions of trust and honor in the public service. There is no occasion for just criticism of the admin- istration in this matter nor, in my judgment, will there be any occasion for complaint in the future. The president has already ap- pointed a considerable number of represen- tative colored men to positions of responsi- bility m the service, and he will continue to © similar appointments as opportunity occurs. Have mo fear on that point, my frienas. In this connection I wish to empha- 8178 the point that to his credit and to ours such appointments have been made and will be made, not becatde of the merit and quali- fications of those' obtaining ofice. I know President Harrison, and cav say with confi- dence that we shall have a wise, just, im- partial, irm and J\m«rasivs management of public ' affairs id the earnest of both races and the citizens thereof. Don’t be deceived, my friends, by thie malicious stories sent out from Washington' Uy designing men, but be patient, trust the president, uphold his ad- ministration and'all will be well.” ‘The next speaker Was general John C. Freo- mont, who gave''a good tempered and well delwvered address. The crowd was composed in large part of répresentative white citizens as well as colored. Mr. Bruce made an able address in the' hall to-night on the ruce problem. Weaver ‘WAaTERLOO, Ia., August 1.—|Special Tele- gram to Tie Brs<L. P. Weller, the cele- brated greenback'ciampion, passed through this city to-day on his way to Des Momes, where a meeting of the executive committee of the party is to be held to-morrow. The chairman of the committee is in Europe, but he left Weller to act’ in his place. Weller says that the meeting was called by the ‘Weaver faction, and he expects to be deposed at the meeting to-morrow. 1n this counec- tion 1t is learned upon good authority that General Weaver has a scheme to again come to the front in Iowa politics, this time as the democratic candidate for governor this fall. He has sent out word to the leaders of the anti-monopoly faction that he proposes to deliver speeches throughout the state upon the monopoly question this month. It is said that he proposes to reor- ganize the old anti-menopoly party, and then #0 before the democratic convention and offer the vote of this faction in casc he (Weaver) is named by them for governor. The deposing of Weller, who is opposed to Weaver, is'a part of the scheme. This has been kept secret, and has not leaked out until to-day. Shot By a Thief.

Limited Differentiale Allowed the Canadian Line. TO BE IN FORCE THREE MONTHS. The Outcome of the Controversy Vir® tually a Victory For the Northern Road—The U, P. Withdrawal Notles Continues. Temporary Peace. Crmioaao, August 1.—[Special Telegram to Tre Ber.] —The Transcontinental associ- ation has disposed of one of its hardest prob- lems by the agrecment over the Canadian Pacific differentials. The agreement is to be in force for three months, aud to that extent alone can be called a victory for the Southern Pacific. The demand of that road was for a complete abolishment of differentials, whereas there was a reduction amounting to loss than 25 per cont. Except in the timo limit the result 1s a pronouncea victory for the Canadian Pacific, the reduction in their difforentials being ouly a fraction less than that of the concession offered by them the second day of the meeting, It was dofinitely settled at this morning’s meoting of the association that differentials must go in the future. The de- mand of the Denver & Rio Grande Western for aifferentials was unanimously refused, many of tho members taking the strongest possible ground aainst difforentinis to any road for any cause. There is & distinct threat conveyed of the limitation of the agreement in_allowing the differentials to the Canadian Pacific. At the expiration of that time congress will bo on the eve of convening, and the disturbance among the railroads, which is apparently brought about by foreign competition, will have far greater weight than at present. It is understood distinotly that the Union Pacific’s notice of withdrawal continues without vrejudice in spite of tho agrecment. Only two persons outside of the associa- tion members knew of a plan thet would have been perfected to-day had not an agree- ment been roached yosterday, It wus that all American roads should resign in_a body from the sssociation, leaving the Canadwn Pacific the only member. A now ussocin} tion, undor a new name, but with the same aims and the same membership, except the Cavadian Pacific, would then have been formed immediately. The preliminaries had all been arranged and only the temporary agreement prevented its completion, The Chicago & Alton Tariff.
