By Exclusive WLv from The .Woolat'd Press.
Columbus, Auk. -' Crosccus, cham
pion (if tin; trotting turf, added ltiuve
luurols to Ills fame today by trotting
a mile in 2.02'i. reducing by half a
set nnd his week-old record of 2.n2"i.
made at Cleveland lust Friday. Tho
fhst Imlf was trotted In r,9i, the first
time tliat thu distance has boon cov
ered In less than nno minute by a
trotter. The time by quartern wns
vi. .Vi'i. I.HO'i and 2.02U. Only .a
stiff wind blowing directly up the
stretch kept Crcsceus from stopping
faster than 2.02. More than 12.000 peo
ple Journeyed to driving park to see the
great trotter In action. It was a bril
lant assemblage and Intense enthusi
asm for the horse was manifested.
The weather at 110011 was promising.
The sky was lowering and overcast,
and a few drops of rain fell, but not
enough to hurt the track, which was
in excellent condition, or to keep the
crowd away. About 2 o'clock the sky
cleared and the sun came out warm
and blicht, but the wind did not de
crease In force.
In the overnight pool selling, a great
deal of money went Into the box at
odds of $2.", to $17 on time against the
trotter. At the track, owing to the
tierce wind, the odds against the
mrso increased to $2." to $!, but the
Jackets of Crosoeus were game, and
took the short end as long as pools
were sold, George Ketcham appeared
on the track with Crcsceus a little bo
fore 3 o'clock. The horse and driver
were royally received, and Mr. Ketch
mil whs forced to lift his cap, as they
passed the stand. The champion
jogged three miles slower than three
minutes, and one' In 2.22. An hour
later, ho came out again and after
t( orlng several times, stopped a mile In
2.2.". Still biter he worked out for the
Inst time In L'.iri'i. He evidently had
great power In reserve, and the vast
throng waited patiently for the great
test.
It was evident that the wind would
not decroits' before dark, and at 3.10
o'clock tin ..talllon was brought out for
the last Mine. Tim Murrneu. his train
er, war. ready to accompany him with
a runner, and Dan Lane waited at the
half mile polo to take him on from
there.
At the Start.
On the Hfth score Ketcham nodded
for tho word, hut Crosoeus was not In
bis stride, and ho pulled up at the llrst
turn to try it again. Down to the wire
he rushed, the runner two lengths be
hind, and this time It was a go. Game
ly facing the breeze, the champion
started on his journey, moving with
apparent ease and at his greatest
f-peed. The runner caught him at the
quarter, and a nigh wont up from the
breathless throng as tho time went up
a quarter of a second less than thirty.
Now the wind was at his hack and. io
nizing the advantage, Ketcham kept
him at his great clip. Tho half-mile
polo was passed In .VHi seconds, ,1
record never before attained, and here
the second runner caught him up. Into
the far turn and around It the great
stallion rushed. Tho three-quarter polo
wnn reached In 1.S0U.
Then came the great trial, for as
Cresceiis turned into the stretch the
bitter wind heat him In the face, and
held him back by force. Pop the frac
tion of a second he seemed to falter,
but his driver's voice encouraged hlni,
and on he came. With indomitable
( ourage ho plunged In toward the fin
ish with unweakened stride and, In
spite of weariness and the buffeting of
the breeze, he Hashed under the wire a
winner against time.
Rut for the wind It Ik believed his
time would have been a second faster.
It was tho most wonderful mile ever
trotted on any track. Knthuslasni broke
loose as soon as tho horse had passed
tho wire. The crowd rushed onto the
track to greet the champion, and n
huge wreath of (lowers was hung
around his neck, Mr. Ketcham, owner
and driver, was carried to the Judge'
stand, and called on for a speech. In a
few words he expressed his apprecl
itlon of the Interest taken In the at
.empt, his trust In Ohio horses, and his
confidence In his own great trotter.
Crcsceus was not unduly fatigued by
his effort, and half nn hour later
eeemed ready to try for another mile.

NOTHING NEW
IN STRIKE
Peace or War In the Steel Strike
Probablu Be Decided
In New York.
TO HOLD MEETING TODAY

Limited Tho Circumstances Lead

Pittsburg, Aug. 2. Judging by In
dications that nre practically facts,
peace or war In the steel troubles will
be announced from New York city to
morrow, when the Amalgamated as
sociation executive board adjourned
this evening. President Shaffer an
nounced that nnothor meeting would
be held tomortofoi There will proba
bly he 11 meeting hero tomorrow or a
portion of the hoard, but the national
olllcers will be In New York. They
left for that city tonight on the Penn
sylvania, limited at 10 o'clock.
Tho circumstances leading tip to this
unexpected trip, while not ollkially
made known, nre evident enough to
substantiate the story which follows:
During tho day many telegrams
were lecelved nt the association con
ference rooms, the last coming Just
before adjournment, and It was an
swered promptly. This answer was In
all probability the announcement to
the New York people that the trip
would be nindo by the ofllcinls tonight,
carrying out an arrangement entered
Into at Vervl Preston's rooms In the
llolol llonrv a short time before. At
about 4.17, p. m., Messrs. Shaffer, Wil
liams and Chappolle wont to Mr. Pres
ton's rooms, and were closeted with
him for about thirty minutes, iho
understanding Is that at this meeting
Mr. Preston made known the combin
ation's only concession in the mat
ter of reopening the wage conference
where It left off three weeks ago. This
concession was In tho shape of a de
mand that If n new conference Is
granted It must bo specifically stated
before-hand what Is expected to be
accomplished, what ground Is to be1
covered nnd what companies urc to
participate.
This brings the matter up to the
Amalgamated association, and the
mission of Its high olllclals to New
York Is doubtless to convince tho steel
people thcro that a new conference Is
essential to peace and nn amicable
settlement of the strike troubles. Tho
conference today was a repetition of
yesterday, the strictest kind of secre
cy being maintained as to the hup
peningH Inside the loom, and tho
progress being made had to bo guessed
at.
THE NEW YORK MEETING.
Steel Corporation Appoints an Hour
for Another Meeting.
Dy Excliuiie Wire .'com The Associated Press.
Pittsburg, Aug. 3. A special to the
Post from Altoona, ,says:
Altoona, Pa., Aug. 3. Instead of dai
ly refusing the request ot the Amalga
mated olllclals for another conference
to bring about a settlement of the
strike of the steel workers, tho olllcers
of the I'nlted States Steel corporation
have nppolntod an hour for meeting the
executive board of the organization In
New York this morning. The ileclwlon
to meet them was announced In n tele
gram sent direct to President Shaffer
yesterday afternoon, und was promptly
accepted. At once the members of the
board made arrangements to leave for
New York. They hurried through their
.session for the afternoon, and at 10
o'clock last night all were on hoard tho
Pittsburg limited, bound for tho east.
The representatives of the labor organ
ization numbered tlftcen all told. They
all took the train at the Union station,
except President T. .1. Sliaffer nnd As
sistant Secretary M. V. Tlghe, who live
In the Kast Knd and who went to the
Kast Liberty depot. Secretary Will
lams, who was with the larger party,
said that the only menilior absent was
Vice-President C. H. Davis, of Chicago.
He said the members had no Idea whom
they would meet In New York, and
could place no estimate on the time
that would bo occupied In the metropo
lis. Members Reticent.
All of the members were reticent and
declined to discuss their proposed vis
it. They were hopeful, however, of tho
result and expressed conlldenco that
the strike could bo settled before their
return to Pittsburg. Tho fact that tho
olllclals of the United States Steel cor
poration bad consented to discuss tho
matter with the oillclal body of tho
Amalgamated association, they said,
wns regarded as sufficient proof of tho
sincerity of the trust olllclals. The
representatives ot tho workers' organi
zation were not the only Interesting
passengers on the tram last nigiit.
Veryl Preston, who has acted for tho
trust In Pittsburg, throughout tho
week, was among the passengers who
boarded the train at the Kast Knd. Ho
was In another car than the ono occu
pied by the Amalgamated men. Mr.
Preston was accompanied by another
man whom he declined to reveal tho
Identity of. He said that It was suf
ficient to know that he was going. As
to the exact status of he dispute, licit li
er Mr. Preston nor tho mcmherH of tho
Amalgamated board would consent to
offer an opinion, or discuss It In any
form. The only Intimation given was
that there was numerous points, con
sidered vital by tho Amalgamated as
sociation, that would have to bo con
sidered and made perfectly clear be
foro the strike could bo settled. Ono
phase In particular was a moro llberul
Interpretation of the non-lutcrruptlvo
clause In the wago scales, Tho only
agreement offered by the Amalgamated
association at this time Increases the
period for orrnnglng new scales, by ono
month. The manufacturers want to
pi event the closing of mills lit nliy
time and to have such disputes settled
by conference and arbitration. The
practical abolishment of the mill com
mittee In all mills Is also demanded
by the manufacturers, but they offer no
othef means for settling local differ
ences In the place of this. Tho workers
Insist that some oillclal representative
of the men should have n voice for
them in such disputes. The question ot
unionizing all non-union mills Is said
to be disposed of 111 tho Morgan propo
sition In 11 manner that seemed to the
workers to threaten tho existence of
their organization more than under
former arrangements. It Is said that It
opened the door to favoritism by man
ufacturers for non-union men In alt
the mills. Nothing would undermine
tho organization so rapidly as to per
mit non-union workmen In union mills
and have them favored and benefitted
because of their freedom from thc-'is-soclatlon
Influence. The workers want
assurances of equal treatment for all
Itllke.
Wages Not Important.
The signing of the wage scale is not
apparently considered of importance.
There has been no disposition on the
part of tho workers or the manufac
turers to balk over this point, nnd
it Is believed that once more weighty
matetr Is disponed of, the whole dis
pute can bo quickly wiped away. If
the conference In New York progresses
ns rapidly tins wook 11s hip one ne-
tween President Shaffer and Mr. Mor
gan last week, the strike may be de
clared off before Monday. The meet
ing of tin conferees is expected to take
place shortly after the arrival of the
Plttsburgers this morning. The loca
tion of the conference room was not
known to the Amalgamated men. They
say that this matter has been left In
charge of the olllclals of the trust.
In any case, however, the result of
the conference will not .be made
known until the entire matter has been
fully disposed of.

Oy Exclusive Wire from The Avoclated Press.
Washington, Aug. 2. The political
situation In the neighboring republics
of Venezuela and Colombia In South
America and the possibility of war be
tween these two states, Is attracting
considerable attention in diplomatic
circles. Should war actually result
the authorities In each country would
not only have to deal with their for
eign enemies, but also with their do
mestic foes, as each of the countries
now has what practically amounts to
a civil war on Its hand. Neither the
Colombian nor tho Venezuelan lega
tions lias much direct Information and
the cable reports are exceedingly con
flicting. The officials at the Colombian
legation are at a loss to understand
the report of President Castro's decla
ration of martial law on the ground
that his country is being invaded by
Colombia. Tho revolution, headed by
Dr. tialviras, who crossed the Venezue
lan border from Colombia, where be
had taken refuge, Is said to he In no
sense an Invasion by Colombians. Dr.
Oalvlras belonging to tho party of An
drade, who was overthrown by Castro,
nnd It Is said in diplomatic circles that
he Is simply heading n rehelllon of
Venezuelans against the latter's au
thority. No definite Information has
been received here regarding the
whereabouts of General Urlhe, who in
his turn, Is heading n movement
against the present government In Col
ombia from the Venezuelan side. The
last news of his whereabouts was that
he was at Maracalbo. and had not yet
crossed Into Colombia, where It wns
supposed he would nttempt to effect a
Juncture with Ntirlnr'a noted guerilla.
who Is still carrying on a vestige of
tho last revolution in the mountains
of the central rango of the Andes.
At the Colombian legation here the
movement headed by 1'rlhe Is not con
sidered at all serious thus far. A re
port received hero on July 26, last, gave
news of a projected simultaneous. In
vasion of Colombia from Venezuela,
Kcuador and Nicaragua. Nothing hns
been heard of the movement since then.
San Juan do Porto Hlco, Aug. 2.

forms of fluMird steel are abundant. There Is
less ilii-povitlon to pay fancy prices for products
that were .ultiinvrd by the strike, which is an
evidence of the general belief In caily resumption
of work. An unfavorable showing for tin, first
half joar, both in rxpoits and output of clipper,
resulted In the first alteration hi nominal price
since the advance to 17 cents eight months ago.

HE FLAG IN HAWAII.
Legal Dispute ns to--Whbther-tha
Constitution Preced
ed It.
Ily Exclusive Wire from The Aweiated Press.
Honolttu. July 2, via San Francisco,
Aug. 2. The constitution of the United
States preceded the flag In Hawaii,
according to a decision Just rendered
by Circuit Judge George D. Gear, ot
the First circuit. He has already re
leased, on habeas corpus petitions,
three ptisonrs who were sentenced for
serious crimes after the resolution of
annexation was passed hy congress
and was signed by President McKln
ley. He llnds that they were not con
victed by a unanimous verdict of
twelve jurors. A wholesale Jail de
livery of murderers, burglars and
other criminals is threatened under
the decision, and Honolulu g greatly
disturbed at tho prospect.
The detison was given under the re
cent Insular decisions of tho Supreme
court of the I'nlted States, and upon
the clause In the Nevvlnnds resolution,
which said that nil municipal legisla
tion of the Hawnilan Islands, not In
consistent with tho constitution, should
"remain In force." Judge Gear held
that this meant that laws that were In
consistent with tho constitution should
not remain in force, and that, there
fote, the constitution extended to Hit
wall Immediately on the signing of the
Nevvlands resolution by the prsldent.
Attorney General Dole Is making a
vigorous light aguitist the decision and
Is trying to get the matter before the
Supremo court. He contends that the
constitution does not apply to Hawaii
by virtue of the Nevvlands resolution.
Judge Gear held that there xvas no right
of appeal hy tho prosecution from a
writ of habeas corpus granted, and
Dole has applied to the Supremo court
for a writ ordering Gear to allow an
appeal.
Tho labor diuicultles which have crip
pled Hawaiian sugar plantations for a,
year or more probably will ho much re
lieved In the near future by the arrival
of several thousand Japanese.
