After a few minutes' delay at the post mbout half of the field broke away. The flag was not dropped, but the boys on Imperial, the favorite; Mary Nance, Ven- etia, Miss Lynnah, Gloria and Irvana went right on and finished, Imperial crossing the line first by a neck in front of Irvana. They had to go back, however, and there was a rush for the bétting ring. The odds on those that did not run were cut to pleces, while the favorites became outsid- ers, Hlack Bonnet belng at 2 to 1 at the close of the second start instead of 20 to 1, as in the first.

The certificate plan there proposed will not be adopted and the additional §2 for the return journey will not be charged. There is every probability that within a short time other roads wiil meot the rate announced by the Burlington today. General Passenger Agent Buchanan of the Elikhorn, who attended the Chicago meeting on behalf of his road, says that everything was very harmonious, and the reason that no agreement could be reached was owing to differences of opinlon as as to methods The reference of the question of the formation of an association, or at least a working agreement as to rates to points in the west and southwest, to the managers of the roads | he thinks s certain to bear fruit. | It was in accordance with the general ex- Wi fail to reach any results, and now men are saying that they did not { agree on the matter of homeseekers It is suggested also that there is very little | possibility of any general agreement as to passenger rates until the pending excursions of the Knights Templar conclave and other events are over.

TLEMENT FINALLY REACHED, CHICAGO, Aug. 16.—The western roads having failed to reach an agreement on the question of harvest excursions while convened | in a meeting, are now in a fair way to reach | such an agreement without holding o meeting | at all. The Llinois Central annonnced today | that it would accept the restrictions on the sale of harvest cxcursion tckets which were recommended by the committee to the general meeting of the western roads earlior | in the week. It will se’l tickets in the manner suggested for the first three excursions, and if the test i3 satisfactory will continue them for the remainder. As soon as this was ar nounced to Chairman Caldwell he reported | the matter to the Burlington, and that road | agreed to hold its excurstons in abeyance for a while. This was a'so agreed to by all the interested lines with the exception of two, from whom no word was received today. It is probable that both of them will vote in the affirmative. The plan on which the Illi- noés Central will sell its tickets is that no round trip tickets shall be soid, but that the agent at the point of destination shall, upon the payment of §2, issue a certificate t the ‘oider is the original purchaser, and the original ticket with the artached certificate will be good for the return trips. Some of the castern lines were much dis- quieted today over the report that one of the roads running east of Chicago had thrown down the barriers on the Knights Templar ticket to the extent of allowing wholesale stopovers on the return tickets up to and in- cluding the final return limit of October 3 This wou'd be virtually making the return portion of the tickets good for passage west from Boston at any time between the date of arrival in that city and October 3. It could not be definitely ascertained that any line had taken any such action, however, and the rumor probably arose from the fact that some of the eastern roads have said that they will allow stopovers as late as October 3, pro- vided that the ticket is deposited in Boston and shall then be used for continuous pas- sage only between Boston and the point of original purchase, no stopover being allowed at any intermediate point seecked |41 g News for the Army.

In it Tillman says that there no indications of early settlement of the complicated political condi tions of that country. Alfaro, who reached Guayaquil on the 18th or 19th of June, was still there with an armed force amounting, it is claimed by his friends, to 4,000 or 5,000 men. The government force at Quito was estimated at 2,000, which, it was ‘thought, might be increased to 4,000, The plateau between the castern and west- ern ranges of mountains was controlled at the time of Mr. Tillman's writing by the small | army of the conservatives. General Srasto, with 1,000 men, was at Guaranda, 100 miles northwest of Quito, near the main road to Guayaquil from Quito. The government forces had captured fifty or sixty men from tho north of Quito, who, in company with 200 others, were trying to pass to the south. Bishop Shumacher, with 350 men, was ex- pected to arrive at Quito July 20. There was to be a procession in his honor and he was to be crowned by the archbishop with laurels and wreaths of flowers. It seems that he had defeated a few hundred of the followers of Alfaro. Alfaro's plans and his strength were not definitely known at Quito when Mr. Tillman wrote, but he says that it was admitted on all sides that his advance to the capital a few weeks bofore would have been easy. Mr. Tillman adds that the strangest feature of the revolution fs that, with the exe ception of a few officers or leaders, the armies are composed of the poorest of the population, and that well dressed men tako their daily walks and throng the plazas un- molested and seemingly wholly disintercsted as to the result LIMA, Peru, Aug. 16.—(Via Galveston)— Telegrams recefved here from Guayaqail, in Ecuador, announce that Rio Bamba has fallen into the hands of General Alfaro, after his defeating the government army.

Jail 1 Wait f Another Posse . Aug. 16.—~There never were such scenes in this place as were witnessed toright. Last Wednesday Mrs. Mary Hud- son, white, wife of a prominent farmer, was assaulted three miles from this city by a negro. The woman's screams attracted tho men from the fields. They found her un- iscious, and the negro had fled. The ccuntry was scoured by hundreds of armed men and bloodhounds, and that night Henry Mitchell Smith was caught He has been in jail here ever since. This evening Mrs, Hudson was brought to this city and identi- fled Smith at the jail as her assailant. This caused great excitement, and Judge Bullock at once issued an order to the jailer to placo a guard of fifteen men around the jail, and gave mandatory instructions for its most careful execution. Wilkerson immodiately summoned fifteen good citizens, armed them with guns and revolvers and placed them around the jail. Chlef of Police McRlroy swore in a lot of special policemen and placed them along the streets leading to the jail. Al available men were placed on guard. This did not prevent a large crowd from assembling at the jafl, and they re- mained there all night. It is well under- stood that nothing will be done till the crowd comes in from Payne station, where Mrs. Hudson lives. Word from Payne station is that from 100 to 150 armed men are getting ready for the march on the jall in this city. There are many armed here determined to prevent a lynching & possible, but the visitors can get help here as well as resistance. After midnight the crowd still remains near the jail and the neighbors are known to be coming. caving the Unfon Paclfic. B. H.
