GOLD HEELS LOWERS
THE WORLD'S RECORD
The Famous Bunner Wins the Second
Handicap nnd Clips a Fifth of a
Second from Best Time.
By Exclude Wire from The Associated Press.
New York, July 6. The racegoer's
cup 'of happiness overflowed at the
Brighton Beach race track Yesterday
when Gold Heels, the best horse of the
year and the popular favorite, won the
Brighton Handicap, und In doing It
clipped a fraction of a second from the
world's record over a circular course
by running the mile and a quarter In
2.03 4-5. How much better the perform
ance of Gold Heels, four years old, with
126 pounds up, was than the old figures
made by Charentus, a six-year-old, with
106 pounds, can be speculated on only,
but the; 25,000 persons who witnessed
the race, and a large portion of them
who bet on Gold Heels, lost no time In
speculation or comparisons, but hailed
Gold Heels at once as the greatest
horse that ever lived. Not even the de
luge of rain that came later marred the
general enjoyment of the day.
The popularity of the victor, the time
of the race, and the spectacular nature
of the contest all combined to drive the
immense crowd into a frenzy of joyous
satisfaction, and such an uproarious
ovation as the stout and game con
queror received when he returned to
the scales have never been witnessed
before on the popular old track by the
sea. The triumph of Gold Heels, win
ner of the Suburban Handicap and now
a fair rival for Klnley Mack, the only
other American horse that ever won a
double victory In two handicaps, was
earned in splendid style, the gallant
colt, ridden by Odom, taking his top
weight to the front on the back stretch
and racing all the way, winning at the
finish, with something In hand, though
Odom kept him going to the end and
took no chances. Gold Heels finished
first by a safe half length before Blues
and Argregor, who fought out u neck
apart for the second money.
The tlmo of the raco clipped a llfth of a
second from tho world's record for a mile
and n quarter run on a circular tiaek,
Gold Heels winning In 2.0.J 4-3, while Char
entus, with twenty pounds less weight,
lan the distance In 2.04 at tho Umpire City
track In 1900. The only other perform
ance at tho distance that can lie regard
ed as rivaling the triumph of Gold Heels
was tho mile and a quarter on tho
straightaway track at Monmouth park
at Long Branch in 1850, tho year tho now
track tlioie was opened, when Banquet,
then a three-year-old, with 10S pounds,
ran tho distance as timed ofllclally In
2.03ft, or one-twcntloth ot a second faster
than Gold Heels ran, tho great difference
between tho performances, howovcr, be
ing that Banquet had no turns to make,
while Gold Heels negotiated live turns
piactieally on a mile course where iho
stretch is hardly moio than a furlong In
length. The fractions of Gold Heels' raco
were 0.23, 0.30, 0,4S, 1.00 2-5, 1.13, 1.25 3-5,
1.38 2-5 and 1.5.'.
The winner has been beaten but onco
this season, when In his first raco of tho
year ho failed to concede a bltr weight
auowunco to ;oionei Hill nnd finished sec
ond at the Uiavetiend track, lie won tho
Suburban handicap and tho Advance
stakes at the Sheepsliead Bay track, and
on performance, leaving out of considera
tion tho tlmo of yesterday's race, has
been declared the best borso of tho year.
Ills triumphs this jc"' amount to u ro
telling of tho allegory of tho "Ugly Duck
ling," for Cold Heels, weeded out of Will
lam C, Whitney's stahlo as a liorso that
was umlci sized and undesirable Jn that
great establishment, has developed until
ho holds first place on the American turf.
Gold Heels was sold out of tho Whitney
stable to David Sloan for $1,500, nnd nftor
running In cheap races In. the fall of his
two-yeur-old form was bought at the
instance of Trainer M, M. Allen by F, O.
Mcl.ewoo und James Brady for J7.M0, nnd
In Trainer Allen's hands has become
what ho Is. Yesterday's raco was worth
JS.2I5 to tho winner, this victory swelling
the total of Gold Heels' earnings this teu
ton to about (25,000.
The turf career of his owners has been
as meteoric as has been that of Gold
Heels, for Colonel Mel.cwee, who figures
among tho turf loaders now through thn
performances of Gold Heels and Major
Dalngei field, once before surprised the
turf world when In 1692 ho raced with
young Frank IJhrct under tho name of
Mel.oweo & Co,, and with M. M. Allen
training for thn stable, and collecting tho
htrongest stublo in tho country, In tho
one year that tho BtaJs meed, led tho
tmf winners of tho l'nltrjl States by cap
turing JlTi7,7S9 in stakes und purses. It
rame as a bit of leaven In tho triumphs
of tho Mcl.eweo & Flrudy establishment
that tho announcement was iii.iao jut:;
before the running of tho Brighton iiintll
rap that Major Dalugorfield winner of
the l.uwreiu'0 realization on Frlduy at

beyond hope. Vhllo at the post for the

- RELEASED
The Filipino Leader Seems to
Fear the Vengeance of
Luna's Friends.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated .Press.
Manila, July 6. As a result of the
proclamation of amnesty, July 4, the
guard of American soldiers has been
withdrawn from the house where
Agulnaldo lived In Manila, and Lieu
tenant Johnson, Aguinnldo's custodian,
brought the Filipino today to see Gen
eral Chaffee. It was the first meeting
between the American general and the
leader of the Filipino revolution. Lieu
tenant William E.' McKinley, of the
Ninth cavalry, acted as Interpreter.
Agulnaldo was told that he was free
to go anywhere.he pleased, and General
Chaffee asked him If ho had any com
plaint to make of American discour
tesy or harshness. Agulnaldo replied
that he had no such complaint to make.
He told General Chaffee that he was
going to visit friends at his home In
Cavlte Vlejo, lnCiivlte province, and
Inquired what protection the American
authorities would afford him. He seemed
to be afraid to venture out. General
Chaffee replied that Agulnaldo would
get the same protection us any other
citizen.
The former Filipino leader then asked
General Chaffee to prevent the courts
from requiring him to testify in civil
suits. General Chaffee replied that he
had no authority to grant this request,
and advised Agulnaldo to make a, social
call upon Acting Civil Governor Wright.
This Agulnaldo said he Would do, but
that he would go at night, as he was
timid about appearing on the streets in
daylight.
The release of the former Filipino
leader has renewed speculation as to
vengeance upon him by friends of Luna
and his other enemies.
Luna was a Filipino leader whom
Agulnaldo' caused to be killed in 1899.
VATICAN PREFERS
SHOW OF FORCE
Shrinks from Appearing as Direct
Party to Friars' Withdrawal.
May' Prefer Expulsion.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Prefs.
Rome, July 6. After an examination
of the note submitted by Judge Will
iam II. Tnft, civil governor of the Phil
ippine Islands, regarding the friars'
lands In the archipelago, the Vatican
finds one very great obstacle to tho
withdrawal of 'the friars.
The Vatican would not object if the
expulsion or the friars were arranged
and carried out by another power, so
that the holy see would only have to
recognize tho accomplished fact; but It
shrinks from appearing us a direct
party to their withdrawal, especially
since the religious orders are powerful
In Rome nnd, above all others, in the
sacred college.
The efforts of the Vatican are directed
toward finding a way to consent to tho
withdrawal of the frlnrs from the Isl
ands without appearing to do so. In
fact, the vutioan, it is believed, would
welcome a show of force to which It
could submit.
It would much prefer, however, a
compromise prohibiting the friars from
returning to the parishes they left In
1898, but allowing them to remain where
they now are or where there Is no local
opposition to their ministrations.
Tho committee of cardinals appointed
to discuss Judge Tuft's propositions
was to meet July 10, but a requiem
units for the late King Albert of Sax
ony, to be celebrated In the pistlno
chapel, at which the pope and the car
dinal will assist, has necessitated a
postponement of the meeting of tho
committee.

PRESIDENT AT
OYSTER BAY.
Arrangements Are Concluded lor
the Establishment ol,
Headquarters.
THE PRESIDENT'S PLANS
FOR A BRIEF REST
Only Business of Greatest Import
ance Will Be Considered During
the President's Vacation No Dele
gations Will Be Beceived Scant
Hotel Accommodations Will Prob
ably Kocp Crowds Away Presence
of the Secret Service Men Be
sented. By Exclusbc Wire from Tho Associated PreJf.
Oyster, Bay, N. Y., July 6. In dis
cussing the president's stay In Oyster
Bay, Secretary Cortelyou today said
that there seemed to be considerable
misapprehension as to some features
of It. He stated that there would be
no elaborate office established and that
the only clerical force maintained
would consist of two stenographers.
Anangements have about been con
cluded for Its use for two rooms in the
bank building for office purposes, and
it will be there that the president will
transact most of his business when he
comes into town. Both the president
and his secretary have planned to make
their brief holiday as restful as possi
ble, and to that end will transact In
Oyster Bay only the most Immediate
public business. Everything else will
be transmitted to Washington for at
tention there, either by the regular
w hlte house force, or, In cases where
other action is required, by the various
departments. This is In accordance
withe the practice which has been fol
lowed successfully during previous
summers. The president will not re
ceive delegations, and hopes to have all
matters Intended for him, not of the
most pressing importance, submitted
by correspondence.
Mr. Cortelyou will spend most of the
summer at Oyster Bay, or within easy
reach of that place. Some time during
the season, he hopes to put aSldq wprk
entirely for a short vacation, leaving
Assistant Secretary Loeb iiv charge
during his absence.
Meagre Hotel Accommodations.
The meagre hotel accommodations
hert 'will go far .toward giving the
President that rest and freedom from
unnecessary official cares which he has
made It plain to everyone he desires.
What scant accommodations there are
provided are already taken and persons
arriving here from this time on during
the president's stay will probably And
themselves without a place to sleep.
The president spent a restful night
at Sagamore Hill. Even the howling of
the family dog, which was kept up con
tinuously, did not disturb his slumbers.
He rose early and attended service at
Christ Episcopal church. In his car
riage was Miss Carew, his son, Archie,
and Lieutenant Ferguson, of the Rough
Riders, who Is his guest. While wait
ing for Mrs. Roosevelt and the rest of
the family, the president stood outside
the church and greeted his friends. To
a newspaper man he laughingly, re
marked that Mrs. Roosevelt and the
children wore coming along In an ex
piess wagon.
The people ot Oyster Bay seem to re
sent the presence of the secret service
men, as they believe the president Is
perfectly safe from, bodily harm. The
slilctest surveillance Is maintained,
however, despite these protestations.

pose of meeting leaders of other labor
organizations. The purpose of the

ers' officials as to how long they ex
pected the strike to last and those of

the price of coal will go up or down
during the coming full. The labor lead

nnd the company officials who were
seen were of the opinion that tho price
of coal during tho remainder of this
year will not go below the present fig
ures, but on the other hand might go
