months. The number of defendants, he
says, is not less than 800, but they almost
without exception are working in the

DIR. GEORGE FRAZER.
Forty Thousand Dollars offered for
His Arrest.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 17.-Forty thousand
dollars is the reward offered for the APP
prehension of DR.. George Fraker. The
offer is made by the insurance companies
which issued policies on DR.. Fraker's
life. When the confession of judgment
was taken in the Federal Court last Mon
day, in the case brought to collect the
$4,000 insurance, it was agreed in the
stipulation filed at the time that the main
sum should not be paid until the eXpira-
ton of the six months. There was no
reason given by the insurance solicitors
for this clause, and none was required,
but it was understood as simply one OF
business and of good faith. Now, how
ever, it is learned that several companies
have joined in issuing a circular to its
agents offering $4,000 for Fraller's re-
covery within the six months stay before
the payment of the money. The number
of agents employed by the companies
amount to Il small army, and includes
every city, village and hamlet in the
| land. In addition the offer has been
made TO every reputable detective agency
in The country.

MINNEAPOLIs, Feb. 17.-John John

was compelled to lower his colors TODAY
to Peter Ostluud, the champion of
Europe, in a race of l,G4O yards A
standing start was made. aid Johnson
led until within twenty rods of the finish.
when Ostlund made wonderful burst of
speed, and won by less than two feet in
2:53 20.
The ice was in bad condition, owing to
the mild weather and the falling snow,
consequently, the time was q seconds
slower than the best record made by
Ostlund at Hames, Norway, February
%, 1894.
The race was, nevertheless, pretty one
from start to finish, and was hotly con-
tested.
Johnson did not seem to be in the best
form. He held the worlds record for a
mile, and has always been great finisher,
but on this occasion Ostlund displayed
by far the best staying qualities.

Inc Annual Convention VIII Convene
at New York To-day.
New YORK, Feb. l7.-There was al
most as much lobbying, Interviewing
and bu tonholing in the parlors and cor
rldors OF the Grand Union Hotel tonight
as might be witnessed in any political
gathering during the busy hours preced-
ing convention. The lobbyists were
the delegates to the seveuty-fourth annual
meeting Of the League of American
Wheelmen, which will convene to-iuor-
row morning.
They have some minor differences, but
the advancement of Cycling is their chief
concern. Between Massachusetts aud
New Jersey there is a wide difference.
Each wants the next annual meeting of
the League OF American W heelmen and
the representatives of these two Eastern
States are striving by every way 10 Sc
cure 1t. Massachusetts is willing to con-
cede and give UP anything and eyery-
thing, swap and trade every advantage
which they might have for the privilege
OF hoIdlng the next annual meet under
their auspices. New Jersey is anxious
to do as much and more if possible
Agents from other States are not safe
rom the hustling representatives of
Massachusetts and New Jersey, The
Massachusetts men have photographs of
the principal points OF interest iii and
around Boston III their hotel parlOrs, and
the Vest and Southwest must stand, view
and admire. The New Jersey men are
deep in the Photographic business also.
They have thousand views Of many
protty spots in their State, but their par
tlcular argument is that Asbury Park is
within few miles of New Nork. AS
bury Park presents another strong claim
IN the shape Of a petition from 200 we'll
known racing men, ranking from Xim-
norman down.
Some time ago it looked as if there
might be many candidats for the differ
ent Offices of the league. Now. however,
the result OF the election is regarded as a
foregone conclusion. The friends of
Archie Z. Williston of Cumberland, Md,
say he cannot be beaten for the Presi-
dency. y. MOrgenthaler of Ohio is the
only candidate for the Treasuryship in
the field, and George }. Gibson OF Phila-
deIphia will be the next Chairman of the
board
OF all the amendments to the consttu-
tlon, the most important that Will he
proposed will be that OF barring colored
men from the league. There are amend
ments by the score, but none so interest
ing as tins. The league has at least two
days hard work before it.
The delegates to the convention have
nearly all arrived, and are quartered
within easy range of the place OF meeting.
