Waltham, Mass, September 2s.-The
biggest cycle record of all paced miles
with pacemakers was beaten by Johns.
johnson ofssSyracuse today, on the Wal
than cycle TRACK. Until this afternoon
the worlds record had been l.52 3-5,
made by j. P. Bliss at Springfield. The
fastest mile ever riden in the world on
bicycle has been 1.5l, by Mike Dern-
berger of Buffalo, but his record was
not accepted as official as be was paced
by horses. The Waltham track now holds
faster record, Johnsons' time being
1.50 3-5. Besides breaking the worlds
: mile record johnson also beat the three
quarter lnile record, doing it in 1.23.
lie came on the track shortly before 4
O'Clock. Twice he circled the track to
linn Der up his muscles. At an eighth of
mile away from the tape he began to
put on steam until, as the starters pis-
bOl SOuuuou1 u0 WAS WulZZluR OVER buo
cement surface like miniature tornado.
Ahead of him flew two tandems, on
the foremost of which sat Saunders and
Mayo. and behind them cane Callahan
brothers, with Johnson's tire a foot
from theirs, gliding along without a
quiver. johnson rode with the smooth
ness and ease of a man on a practice
spin. He cut the quarter mile tape in
~ seconds, gaining greater speed each
instant Here Saunders and Mayo drew
aside, and the Galatians drew on john
son to the third In 36 3-5 seconds At
this point, Murphy and Stevenson on
third tandem began to move away along
the further turn, gradually gaining mo-
mentum, until at the instant Johnson
dropped the Galatians and sprang for
their tandem they were going at full
speed.E 1t was magnificently done, and
to this latter team is largely due the
credit of Johnson's great feat. They
stuck the two thirds line in 1. 13 3-5, and
then began a terrific squirt. At the
third quarter they had caught and beat
en- the worlds record, making it in
1.23. Faster and faster they flashed
down the home stretch, and crossed the
wire side by side, with johnson, in
1.50 3-5, faster time than man ever trav-
elled before by his own motive power.
The last tandem was composed OIL New
York men. 1t had grown cold and dark
before johnson came out for the trial
against time with standing start He
wore heavy sweater, and lost fully
second by poor work at the start off.

SEEING DAYLIGHT.

Silver made long stride toward seeing
daylight yesterday. The news from Lon
don confirming the report of Gladstone'i
resignation as premier comes simulta
neously with the announcement that q
Democratic house had shown its fealty to
western interests and passed the Bland
bill for the coinage of the $50, 100000 OF
silver seigniorage now lying dormant in
the U. S. treasury.
Tackled on to the tail of the London dis
patch was another solemn statement from
Gladstone's chancellor of the eYchequer
that Great Britain's government saw no
need Of another international monetary
conference, but this isn't really bad news
On the contrary, it may be regarded as
merely a last, dying bluff, designed to
close the eyes of the world to the real
cause of Gladstone's retirement. They
would make believe that it is old age, etc.
but the crash in India soon to come, that
will force change of front in England's
treatment of silver, is the real cause.
Events both at Washington and in the
money centers OF the foreign world are
very likely to prove of intense interest to
western silver men during the coming
few weeks. As the situation now exists
the chances are ten to one that western
interests will triumph.

congress is at last in fair way to re.
move the Southern Utes and throw open
the reservation now occupied by them to
people who may come to make their
homes in the mountains. The Southern
Utes occupy strip of land in Colorado
Just west of Durango and extending east
ward along the northern boundary line of
New Mexico. The tract covers an area
of over 100000 acres, abundantly
watered, cut here and there by wide,
sloping valleys of as fertile land as may
be found anywhere; we'll timbered,
and capable of furnishing homes
for 10000 families. just think of
it, in case congress does the fair
thing and sends these red men to Utah,
where they desire to go, another Cherokee
strip rush will be on here almost at our
doors. The senate committee on In
dian affairs has made favorable report on
the bill to remove the Indians and open
the land to settlement and if the bill
passes, as it certainly should, southern
Colorado and northern New Mexico will
be largely gamer thereby. Look out for
rush to this land before midsummer.

Needs Looking After.

The Mora Democrat calls upon the gov
ernor to round up certain district at
torneys" on some very serious charges.
We presume it means the officials of that
district, for it also says editorially:
"We ask the district attorney of this
district what he has ever done toward
trying to collect over thirty thousand dol
lars delinquent taxes on the Mora grant,
due by Elkins, Barrett T. Co."
The honorable Stephen once wrote a
letter in which he said he had no interest
in New Mexico property, or otherwise,
bnt if he has 100000 worth, it needs look
ing after. That amount of money would
come in right handy in the Territory ;rs.
