The Great twenty-five Mile Road Race
at Denver.
DENVER, Col, Aug. 2O.-At 1907
o'clock yesterday morning the great
twenty-five mile road race was started
over the Sand Creek-Brighton course,
under a cloudless sky. There were
nearly 100 entries and the greatest en-
thusiasm was manifested. Thousands
of wheelmen lined the route and many
more, crowded in coaches, followed the
riders closely, the road laying along
the Union Pacific tracks. The riders
strung along the road for the first two
miles out from the start, forming a
long line of revolving wheels and rain
bow colors.
Murphy, in light blue, led the four
other scratch men. There was'a great
deal of disappointment over the failure
Of Callahan, Zeigler, Van Wagner,
Hamilton and other good men to start.
The visitors in the crowd pinned their
faith to Murphy, Gardner, Bird, Bam-
bridge and Dodson, the scratch men,
while the Denver people were sanguine
that Banks, with his eleven-minute
handicap, and Renshaw, Gerwing and
Trask, who were in the seven and six
minute classes, respectively, would
render q good account of themselves.
It was a pretty spectacle as seen
from the train windows, and hundreds
of glasses were Ieveled at the riders.

rived from washington
SAN Francisco, Aug. 1s.-The war
rants upon which it is supposed Gen.
Ezeta will be arrested have not yet
reached the city. Attorneys who rep
resent the Salvadorean government
have not heard from them, and the
federal officials are in the dark even as
to the status of the case. The first
discussion of the matter between Off
cials occurred this morning when
United States District Attorney Carrier
visited the office of Commissioner Hea-
cock. He discussed the Ezeta case and
said that unless the government had
discovered that it had made a
mistake in giving Ezeta asylum on the
Bennington, and intended to restore
the case to its original status by taking
him back to San Salvador, he would
have to be tried here. The fact that
the Bennington had remained outside
territorial jurisdiction made it impossi-
bic to reach him by any process; but,
should he be landed, it would not re-
quire a warrant from Washington to
effect his arrest. He could be appre-
hended on complaint of any one and
examined as to the charges against
him. An indictment for crimes with
which he is charged would make a
prima facie case against him, but 9th
erwise it would be necessary to pro-
duce witnesses to the crime. 1t is un-
derstood that there are such witnesses
now in this city.

A GLOOMY VIEW.
Chinese Losing Faith in the ImpregnabEl-

1ty OF WEI HAL w eR-E0feign Workmen
Leaving Their ArsenaIs, and the Feeling
Against Them Running High.
LONDON, Aug. 20.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Central News
gives a gloomy view of affairs at Wei
Hai-Wei. the fortified city on the Shan
Tung promautory. There is little
doubt that the Japanese intend to at
tack this Chinese stronghold shortly,
despite the tradition of the Chinese
that the place is impregnable. The
lights along the promontory have been
extinguished and the buoys have been
removed, and the Chinese are con-
stantly adding to the defenses by lay
ing torpedoes and submarine mines.
Nevertheless, on three successive
nights last week Japanese torpedo
boats entered the harbor and recon-
noitered the forts. The crews of the
Chinese torpedo boats, which lie in the
harbor, had no inkling of the nearness
of the enemy until the Japanese ves-
sells were leaving. The Wei-Hai-Wei
forts then opened fire, but it was too
late to accomplish anything
The success of these three Japanese
expeditions has shaken greatly the
confidence of the army in the impreg-
inability of Wei-Hai-Wei. The supposi-
tion is that the Japanese are preparing
for combined land and sea attack on
the stronghold. The garrison is being
increased to meet such an attack and
heavy guns are being added to the
artillery in the interior line of de-
fenSeS.
The foreigners who were employed
in the Wei-Hai-Wei arsenal are leaving
the place. Nearly all the Englishmen
and Scotchmen have gone. and within
few days only natives are likely to be
left in the shops. The feeling against
foreigners is running high among the
military in the city. The soldiers have
fired several times upon foreigners who
were leaving the shops, and have
been checked only with diff
Guilty be their officers. Often the
foreigners are insulted as they depart.
None of them have been wounded as
yet, but their escape has been almost
solely due to the strenuous efforts of
the officers who have been charged
with the responsibility for their safety.
The main Japanese squadron has
been sighted again in the gulf of Pc
Chi Lii.
The natives of the seaports have
been forbidden to use Japanese coins.

Ball Lightning.

Chamber's Journal.
The occurrence of what is known
as ball lightning is so rare that
every instance of it is of some in
terest. The London Lancet lately
described a narrow escape from
death by this form of lightning,
which was experienced by a dis
tinguished surgeon of Louvaln who
had gone to visit a patient in a
neighboring town. He was over
taken by 8 thunderstorm, and what
he described as a ball of fire de-
scended upon and rendered him
for sometime unconscious.
On coming to himself he found
that the cloth of the umbrella
which he had been holding was
completely burned off it's steel
framework, the metal being twisted
into every shape. He attributes
his safety to the circumstance that
the umbrella has wooden handle !;
had it been of metal he must have
been instantaneously killed.

No Place for Cows.

The Augusta Chronicle gives the
following incident in connection
with the recent lightning run on
the Atlantic Coast Line:
There was one incident of the
run which occurred near Burroughs
station, which showed the tremen-
dous speed at which the Eain was
going. A bunch of cattle surprised
on the track at that point, failed
to make allowance for the rapid
rate at which the train was pro-
crossing toward them. The en-
gineer blew his whistle, but did
not slow down a second. The pilot
seemed to catch the whole bunch
squarely, and six or seven COWS
were tossed in the air as If they
were SO many pieces of paper. The
passengers did not feel the slight
est jar flom the collision with the
cattle. The road Will no doubt
have the COWS to pay for but as an
employe remarked, Expense cuts
no figure on this rum"

This Is Encouraging,

The last sentence of the annexed
paragraph is worthy of special con-
siderat1on because it is from the
Philadelphia Times, paper that
has reputation for conservatism
throughout the country:
The tariff policy of the Govern
ment is now settled for years to
come. There will doubtedless be
amendments proposed, and some
probably adopted, but these will
be matters of detail, and not affect
the policy of the new tariff bill.
There never will be any serious
efforts made by any party to re-
turn to the monopoly taxes of the
Mckinley law that is now in its
agonies. Industry, COM
merce, and trade now have a clear
field, and with our large surplus OF
products we'll exhausted, a season
of great industrial and commercial
activity is certainly close at hand.

Faith in Immortality.

Jean Jacques Rousseau.
The more intimately I enter into
communion with myself -the more
I consult my own intelligence-the
more legibly do I find written in
my soul these words, "Be just and
thou shalt be happy" But let US
not base our expectations upon the
present state of things. The wick
ed prosper and the just remain op-
pressed. At this conscience takes
umbrage, and murmurs against it's
author; it murmurs, "Thou hast
deceived mel" Who has proclaim
ed this to thee? Is thy soul ami
hilated? Hast thou ceased to ex-
ist? o Brutus! 0 my son! Soil
not thy noble life by turning thine
own hand against it. Leave not
thy hope and thy glory with thy
mortal body on the field of Philip
pill Why dost thou say virtue is
nothing, when thou goest to enjoy
the price of thine? Thou goest to
die, thou thinkest no, thou goest
to live, and it is then that l shall
fulfill all. One would say, from
the murmurs of impatient mortals,
that God ought to requite their
virtue in advance. Oh! let US first
be good and afterward we shall be
happy. Let us not exact the prize
before the victory, nor the wages
before the labor. 1t is not on the
course, says Plutarch, that the con-
querors in our games are crowned (;
it is after they have gone over it.
If the soul is immaterial it can
survive the body; and, in that sur
vival, providence is justified.
Though I were to have nc, other
proof of the tmmateriality Of the
soul than the triumph of the wick
ed and the opp ZION Of. the jpEst
in this world, that spectacle alone
would prevent my doubling the
reality of the life after death. So
shocking a dissonance in this uni
versal harmony would make me
seek to explain it. I should say !:
GAIL does not finish for me with
this mortal life; what succeeds
shall make concord of what went
before"

Augusta Chronicle.

Augusta Chronicle.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 29.-Gov-
ernor Tillman was interviewed to-
day, and spoke as follows regard
ing the portentous political situa-
ton:
"Until somebody explains why
the Conservatives of Columbia and
Charleston did not turn out and
vote it is not necessary for us to
say anything about the light Re-
form vote. The Conservative
have everything their way in these
two cities, and the Reformers have
everything their way in the coun-
try, and didn't exert themselves.
In most Of the counties there was
no opposition ticket to spur the
Reformers to action. The reitera-
ton of the cry of a ring is notgo-
ing to scare anybody or muster up
any votes.
81 give notice now that we are
not going to have any Alabama
business in South Carolina in No
vember. If these people want to
warm this black snake into life
and join forces with it under the !
plea of Democracy, we are ready to
meet them and give them the worst
drubbing they ever had in their
lives.
"The defeated politicians who
cannot get a majority Of the white
vote and want to get elected by
joining forces with the negro, may

81 never will be elieYe until j see
it. that any conside derable nunberof
the Conservatives will make this
desperate effort to regain political
power at such terrible risks, for
every sensible man knows that
when the negro is brought in as the
balance of power between the con-
tending white factions the State
will sink into a deeper gulf of
misery and misgovernment than
existed from '6S to '76-or from
that which we emerged in 1876.
All the offices in the world are not
worth such price. My Democracy
means white supremacy. I and
those who have backed me will not
join forces with the negro. Let
those who do, justify it to the peo-

tatives to supplement the bill al.

cannot be mistaken as to the
necessity of free raw materials as
the foundation of logical and SEN
sible tariff reform. The extent to
which this is recognized in the leg
islation already secured is one of
its encouraging and redeeming fea-
lures, but it is vexatious to recall
that free coal and iron ore have
been denied US. 4 recent letter of
the Secretary Of the Treasury dis
closes the fact that both might have
been made free by the annual sur
render of only about 100000 of
unnecessary revenue.
I am sure that there is a common
habit of Understanding the i'm
portance of free raw materials in
tariff legislation and of regarding
them as only related to CONCESSIONS
to be made to our manufacturers.
The truth is, their influence is so
far-reaching that if disregarded a
complete and benefcient scheme
of tariff reform cannot be success
fully inaugurated. When we give
to our manufacturers free raw ma
.erials we unshackle American en-
terprise and ingenuity, and these
will open the doors of foreign
markets to the reception of our
wares and give opportunity for the
continued remunerative employ
ment of American labor.
With materials cheapened by
their freedom from tariff charges,
the cost of their production must
be correspondingly cheapened.
Thereupon justice and fairness to
the consumer would demand that
the manufacturers be obliged to
submit to such readjustment and
modification of the tariff upon
thcir finished goods as would Sc
cure to the people the benefit o. the
reduced cost of their manufacture,
and shield the consumer against
exaction Of inordinate profits. 1t
will thus be seen that free raw ma
terial and a just and fearless regu-
lation and reduction of the tariff
to meet the changed conditions,
would carry to every humble home
in the land the blessings of in
creased comfort and cheaper living.
The millions of our countrymen
who have fought bravely and we'll
for tariff reform should bo exhort-
ed to continue the struggle, boldly
challenging to open warfare and
constantly guarding against
treachery and half-heartedness in
their camp.
Tariff reform will not be settled
until it is honestly and fairly set
tied in the interest and to the
benefit of a patient and long suf-
fering people.
Yours very truly,
