New YORK, Feb. 12.-James Albert,
the pedestrian, was apparently as fresh
this morning as any man in the Ash
land House. He took only his usual
sleep last night, arose early and after
breakfast took short walk with his
wife. Later in the day he walked from
Twenty-fourth street to Central Park
and back, and will continue
taking moderate exercise in
stead of lapsing into idleness. He says
he will never enter another pedestrian
contest, although he may participate in
walking exhibitions. He is under en-
gagement to appear nightly for week
with Dock Stader's minstrels, and will
deliver addresses in ring costume. Two
proposed receptions in Philadelphia
have been postponed in consequence
Fitzgerald, the long distance pedes-
trian, says he suspects something wrong
about Albert'S record. He will not re-
sign his claim to the campionship till
Albert has beaten him IN race where
both take part. He will go into train
ing at once, and hopes to arrange such
a race for December, open to all cOmers.

WYOMING As 4 srArr.
The Sturdy Claims Put Forth by
Her Aspiring CIsixens


CHEYENNE, Dec. 23.-The people Of
wyoming are discussing the claims of
that territory to statehood, and promi-
nent citizens have been giving their
opinions. Mr.. j M. Carey, for five years
congressional delegate, says:
wyoming han an area of 80, 900 square
miles anda population of over LOG, 900. The
actual wealth of the territory is not less
than 800, 900, 900. The territory has q
capitol building, nearly completed, which
is better building than half the states
have; q good penitentiary, university,
insane asylum, deaf and dumb asylum
and other institutions, and untold re-
sources of wealth in coal, iron, oil, agri-
culture and grazing land"
+. e. Warren, ex-governor of the terri
tory, said: "Wyoming should be made
state at once. We have fine public insti,
tutions, diversified industries, natural re-
sources waiting for the wand Of statehood
to wake them into lifs.n
j. W. Lacey, ex chief justice of wyom-
Ing, has recently travelled over Wyoming
and finds the people alive to this question
and anxious for its settlement. To the
same effect are the opinions of many
other officials and representative business
men.

HAR At SAMOA.



Rival Kings Forces.
BAN FRANoIsco, Dec. 24.-The ocean
steamer Zeelandia arrived here late Sat
urday night from Sydney and Auckland,
via Samoan Islands and Honolulu. The
special correspondent OF the Associated
Press at Apia, Samoa, writes as follows
under date Of December 7th.
Since the last oceanic steamer left this
place for San Francisco month ago two
battles of Importance and numerous
skirmishes have taken place between the
forces of Mslistoa Mataata and Tamasese,
the rebel chief and the present king.
About 100 men have been killed and $50
wounded, many of the dead having been
barberously mutilated. This state of
affairs on the Islands seems due to the
continued action of the German consul,
d.. knappo, supported by the men-ot-
war Allen and E5er and the German
Planting and Garden Company, who in.
sist that Tarnasese shalt be king, al
though two. thirds of the Ssmoan people
have elected Malieota Matnafa as their
choice, while the Germans oppose him,
knowing he will not consent TO their rule
Of the islands.
By November 9Th the town of Apia was
almost deserted by the natives except such
persons as were either too young or too
cid to 60 to the front.
