The News and Observer. VOL. XLII. NO. 150. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF AMY MORTH CAROLINA DAILY PAPES. CLAWSON WON ON ALOUEITE The Unexpected Happened in the Great Futurity. LYD4AN WON THE PLACE UNSATISFACTORY CONDITION OF TRACK CAUSED BY RAIN. PREVIOUS LEFT STANDING AT POST Only 12,000 People Witnessed the Great Race at Sheepshead For the Largest Purse of the Year—A Good * Start-Heavy Betting New York, Aug. 24.—The unexpected happened at Sheepshead Bay today and the filly L’Alouette.of Thompson’s string, won the Futurity, with something to spare. Her backers were happy, for al though her victory was a surprise, she was coupled in the betting with her sta ble mates, Gibraltar and The Hugenot, and as the stable was the favorite for the race, the ring suffered. The other un expected thing was the running of Ly lian. dho got the place. The track was in anything but satisfactory condition, the heavy rains of last night and this morning having turned it into soft mud, which had dried out sufficiently to make the going heavy and sticky when the race was run. When the first race was called the gathering was small, and not more than 12,000 were present a quarter to 5, when the bugle called the eighteen start ers for the richest stake of the year to the post. It was not long before they were on their way up past the grand stand, the Thompson trio showing the way, the Daly pair coming next, the Keene pair ■■ext, and the others in their order on the card. Then there was a short talk to the jockeys by the starter and they were lined up for the journey. Backing and filling the line swept away. An instant the red flag was poised, and then it swished through the air and the youngsters were on their short journey. It was a fine start for all but Previous, who was left standing still in the first break, to the great surprise of his owner and most of the older race goers. Grand Sachem and Amazonian were quickest on their feet, with Uriel and Cock Robin close up. L'Alouette was next. Nearly all of the horses were in his stride and there was little shifting of positions as the lot swept down the chute toward the main track. So close were they at thh first fur long that a dozen were not more than heads apart. At the quarter pole the line of the ad vancing racers was almost like that of a cavalry charge. They rushed past the post with Cock Robin, L’Alouette, Gib raltar, Gala Day, Howland, Uriel, Plau dit and Lydian heads apart, and short ones at that, in the front rank, while the others were almost lapped upon them in the second column. It was anyone’s race then, with the exception of the well backed Previous, who was still at the post, with Simms looking alternately at the starter and then at field in front of him in blank dismay. Now they were at the three-furlong pole and were begin ning to make for the best place for the slight run into the stretch. Cock Robin was then a neck in front of L’Alouette, she a length in front of Gib raltar, he a length in front of Gala Day, with the wily McCafferty on his back. Uriel was next, and then came Kydian, Plaudit and the others. Around the turn they rushed and were hut a quarter from home ,and still Cock Robin led the van, but “Skeets” Martin was urging him and tie was beginning to falter. Right at his throat was L’Alouette, hanging on much better than her owner had any idea she could. Right at her tail pas Gibraltar’s head, and Gala Day was peg ging along at his heels, but the l>oys were driving the colts while Clawson was still waiting for the final rush which was bound to come. Sloan dug his heels into Uriel's sides and he went past the others like a flash ani poked his nose into first place, while his stable companion. Cock Robin, with his l»olt shot, fell back. Clawson looked in surprise at the change in horses, but not in colors, and got to work at once to ride a finish with Sloane. Uriel’s effort was his last, for a furlong from home, Claw son got him and was drawing away, when a new competitor loomed up in the despised outsider Lydian, who had come from the road, under the vigorous urg ing of Thorpe and with Sloane on Uriel a head behind, was making a bold bid for the stake. The distance was a little too short, however, and as L’ Alouette passed the wire Lydian was at her tail, a head in front of Uriel, who was a head in front of Plaudit, while the others were strung out through a sixteenth of a mile. In the Fall Handicap, a hot finish was looked for. Voter ami Hastings were about equal favorites, the former having the call at the close. The start was poor and Hastings and Voter were away in the lead. They ran locked to the head of the stretch, when Cleophus joihed them and it looked like a close finish be tween the trio, but Ornament came from the rear with a rush and won easily. First race—Five furlongs. Trillo, 30 to 1 won with Hair Pin, 3 to 1 second and Yankee Sam, sto 1, third. Time, 1 :i»2 1-5. Second race —Mile and one-sixteenth.

GOFF’S TELEPHONE LINE INJUNCTION AGAINST RICHMOND’S RE FUSAL OF CHARTER. Bell Telephone Company Allowed by the Judge to go Free of Municipal Restriction. Richmond, Va., Aug. 24.—Judge Na than Goff, of the United States Circuit court for this circuit, to-day handed down a decree iu the case of the South ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Com pany vs. thp City of Richmond. When the franchise and charter of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company expired some months since, it was not renewed, the company refusing to grant certain conditions which the city council sought to place in the char ter.

RALEIGII, X. WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 25, IS<>7. » BRITISH REVERSE Desperate Fight in Which the Afridis Capture Pass, THE SITUATION GRAVE SULTAN SAII) TO BE BEHIND WHOLE UPRISING. SALISBURY’S ALLEGED BAD DIPLOMACY His Unconciliatory Attitude Towards the Porte Said to Have Fired the Mohammedans -The Tactics of the British and the Afridis. London, Aug. 24.—An official dispatch to-day from Simla announces that Fort Maude, in the Khyber Pass, has been captured by the Afridis after desperate fighting. The garrison, which was com posed of native levies, known its the Khyber Rifles, retired with the less of three men. The Afridis afterwards burned the fort. The fate of the Fort Ali-Musjid, which was simultaneously attacked by the Afridis, is not known. It is admitted even in official circles that the news from India is of the grav est description. All those who are famil iar with ilit* situation attach the greatest importance to the rising of the warlike Afridis, who are estimated to muster 25,000 fighting men. The Afridis, how ever. only form a part of the insurgents. A letter from India published in the Standard emphasizes the belief that the Sultan is at the hack of the whole up rising. The afternoon newspapers comment severely u|m>ii what they term the Mar quis of Salisbury’s bad diplomacy. The St. James Gazette says: “The moral of the whole story is that we, who have fifty million Mohaifimedans in our Eastern emphe, have chosen to present ourselves to the whole as the chief enemy of the Sultan whom the general majority of that creed look upon as their head in religious matters. If we had succeeded in inspiring real ter ror, the harm done would have hecn less.” The scene of the rising has the Khyber Pass for its centre. The plan of the British commanders is to draw the in surgents to the vicinity of Jamrud, which is strongly fortified, close to the Indian mouth of the pass, having Poshawur and Kohat for bases and where the British number about 11,000 men. The policy of the Afridis is to tempt the British into the hills and spurs of the pass. Fort Maude is a small stone fort over looking the road four miles up the pass from Jamud. Fort Ali-Musjid is five miles and :! half further up. There the pass is forty feet wide. FIGHTING AREA ENLARGING. The Afridis Determined—English Have 42,000 Men Available. Simla, Aug. 24. —The British officer commanding at Jamrud, moved a battery of artillery, escorted by the Fourth dra goons yesterday, to the mouth of the Khyber Pass and shelled the enemy at a range of 3,200 yards. The Afridis re tired but the battery returned to Jamrud, the officer in command deeming it inad visable to enter the pass. General Elios will begin a concerted movement against the insurgent tribes men to-day. Later details of the capture of Fort Maude by the insurgents tribesmen show that the garrison of that place retired at 10:30 p. m., yesterday and that the fort was burned half an hour later. The garrison reached Col. Wostmactto’s re lief, coming to Khohata at 11:30 p. m. At the same time that Fort Maude was abandoned, the Khyber rifles gar risoning Fort Jewangera were compelled to abandon that place. The area of active fighting is enlarging rapidly. The Afridis last evening attacked with great determination the fortified post at Sudd a, but were not successful in cap turing it. Parochinar was attacked to-day. The results of this attack and of the fighting at Fort Ali-Musjid are not known. There are two English ladies with the garrison at Parochinar. The authorities have mobilized 3,200 men for frontier operations with which the frontier garrisons, make 42,000 men available for use against the insurgents. MASSACRED BY AFRIDIS. Feshawur, Aug. 24.—1 tis reported that a large number of Afridis, led by fanatical priests, attacked the Sepoys near Fort Ali-Musjid about noon yes terday, massacreing 300, capturing their rifles and then proceeding, in large foree, to make an attack upon the British gar rison on the Lowrgat. There is a very uneasy feeling in Quet ta, where the troops are under orders to be in readiness to march to New Cha mnn. which is the extreme outpost of the Afghan frontier, southeast of Knndnhr, and on the edge of the Registan desert, between the provinces of Toba and Pish in. Khyber Pass is swarming with Afri dis, and it is feared the fall of the Maude has greatly encouraged the insurgents. TO RAISE THE MONITOR.

THE BULL POOL GETS OUT. George French Says Everything was Sold at a Profit. Chicago, Aug. 24.—The hull pool which has so successfully handled enormous lines of wheat, corn and oats on ’change, announced at the close to-day that they were practically out of the market with the exception of a little September wheat, which they say they will take on delivery day. The announcement that the pool had liquidated its holdings caus ed a feeling of great relief among the brokers generally. It has been felt for several days that the pool had been try ing to do too much. When the campaign in wheat was begun several months ago it was regarded ns a very difficult un dertaking. The bulls became masters of the situation, aided by flic news from abroad and piled up enormous profits in a short time. When the same pool went into corn to the extent of about 10,000,- 000 bushels and o.*(ts amounting to about 5,000,000, nervousness was renewed. So long as everything*kept moving up, how ever, it was not ? very acute. The bull difficulties began with the spectacular calling of wheat on Saturday at $1 when it cofild have been bought cheaper in the pit?, When prices began to drop on Monday margin calling in creased and the anxiety was relieved only by the announcement to-night that practically everything had been sold out. Although it was -believed that the line of December corn showed a loss. George French, who has been handling the deals for the irool. says’i'verything was sold at a profit. 1 lie snyu that several promi nent grajin merchants pooled yesterday to raid the marUetf, and foree him to un load. : f , v Rich lie |h], Va., Aug. 24.—1 n the races of the Cfarke County Fair Association today Dy.

THE STRIKE GRES ON The Miners and Operators Fail to Get Together, HOLD OUT FOR 69 CENTS OPERATORS OFFER COMPROMISE BETWEEN 54 ANI) 69 CENTS. BUT MINERS INSIST UPON THEIR RATE Other Propositions Made But Rejected--The Operators Say They Will Start Their Mines With New Men if Neces sary and Blame Miners. Pittsburg. I*a., Aug. 24.—The final ef fort to arrange a plan for ending the big coal strike has proved a failure and ihe strike goes on. At noon the conference between a committee of coal operators and miners, national and district officials, closed, and the conference adourued with out date. The miners’ representatives did not recede from their original proposi tion to settle the strike by arbitration and start tne mines at the 69 cents rate. The operators offered to divide the dif ference between 54 and 69 cents rates, making the price at which the mines should start 61% cents'per ton, but this was rejected. Then additional proposi tions were made. One was to start the mines without fixing any price for thirty days and then to pay the rate agreed up on by the board of arbitration. This was also refused by the miners. They claimed they had been fooled too often to trust the operators again. They declined to work for a month, giving the operators the output for that length of time with out knowing what wages would bo paid. A proposition was then made to operate the mines for ten days without fixing the price,, and allow a board of arbitra tion to fix the price for that time. President Ratchforu insisted that no thing but the 69 cents rate could possibly be accepted. The operators wore firm, hut the miners were equally determined and every argu ment of the mine owners was met by the miners’ leaders. Neither side would concede another point and it was dec .od to end the con ference. President Ratehford had lmt say on the matter, but gave ont the fol lowing statement: “We have disagreed. Our proposition remained unchanged. Besides our prop osition to arbitrate we made them a sec ond one along the lines of bringing about a general conference of miners and ope rators of all the mining State®. They re fused to lend their efforts in that direc tion and the strike will be continued. We have no other plans for the future.” Immediately after the close of the morning conference .T. B. Zerbe called a meeting of operators for two o’clock this afternoon to discuss the situation and outline a lan for future action. The operators were in secret session for several hours and when the doors wore opened their press agent announced that the mines would certainly be started with the old diggers, if possible, with imported men if the old men refused to work. A committee was appointed, com posed of representatives of every firm in the district to map out the mode of pro cedure for the resumption. This com mittee will meet tomorrow morning for this purpose. The operators’ press committee issued a statement tonight. It detailed the sev eral propositions made both by the ope rators and miners’ officials, which have already been described. Attention is called to the fact that the operators are confronted constantly with two forces—the pressure of buyers to get the lowest price, which is determined by a remorseless competition, and by the miners, who demand the highest wage rates at all times. The strikers arc warned that they will be responsible for whatever disasters may follow to them selves and* families. BASEBALL YESTERDAY. Baltimore, Md..
