BICYCLE RACES.


Chicago, August 9.-All of the crack
cyclists of the country, with the excep-
tlon of very few cash prize profession
ais, whose wants are not provided for
in this instance, were on hand today at
the National Cycling tournament which
began this afternoon at the one-third
mile track on the south side.
The feat of riding mile in competition
In 1:5S 1-5, accomplished by BaM, the
Class B leader, was the particular event
of the afternoon When the start was
made, Bald made rush and 'hitched
on" first at the rear of the triplet, and
then ground out a warm pace from the
start. Murphy, Cooper and Brown fol-
lowed Bald in order, but the others were
killed of almost at the start. Going down
the stretch he went past the pacemakers
and finished alone.
Gus Steele, local man, rode a mile,
paced against time, in 1:55.

JAcKsoNs SUCCESSOR.
Names Mentioned, but Appointment Will
Await Congress-


Washington, August s.-rhere Is much
speculation as 10 who will be President
Cleveland's choice for the supreme bench,
to succeed the late Justice Jackson, but
beyond the mention of available names
there Is little OF definite nature at this
early date. 1t is the general understand
ing that no appointment will be made un-
til after the meeting of congress, as the
place is one of too much Importance and
dignity for a recess appointee to go on
the bentch and take the chances OF SUBJ
sequent rejection by the senate.
1t is suggested that the. selection is
most likely to be made from the East,
and probably from New York. The name
of ex-Postmaster General Blssell Is mem
TONED. Should Mr.. Cleveland go to his
cabinet for the appointment he is most
likely to consider Mr.. Wilson or Mr..
Smith. The name of Representative Pat
terson, of Tennessee, will probably be
called to the attention of the president,
as he comes from the state of the late
justice. The names of Don NJ. Dickinson
and Solicitor General Holmes Conrad are
also mentioned.

Ashore on Carmanah Point with
One Hundred Passengers.
THE N. P. CASE POSTPONED
August 22 Set for Hearing of Re.

Caused Pendl0ton Fire.

Victoria. B. C., August 9.-The Canadian
Australian steamer Warrimoo is ashore
three miles from Carmanah Point, at the
place where the Duchess of Argyle was
lost. She is afloat forward and will prob
ably float on the next tide.
No further particulars can be obtained
from Carmanah Point, as to the Warrl-
moo. The tug Lorne is speeding down the
coast to her assistance. and the steamer
Islander will follow with Canadian Pa
'eific railroad officials. The latter will
take the passengers, who number about
100, if the steamship is not gotten off
at once. The passengers are in no dan
ger. as it is calm, and they could be
landed at any time. If the wind springs
up 1t is feared the ship will go to pieces,
but the strongest hopes are entertained
for her removal from the ledge by the
Lorne.

at high tide.

MAY INVOLVE THE UNITED STATE
A Question at Issue With the Japanese
Authorities.

Washington, August 9--In the event of
I'war between Russia and Japan, the
United States may find itself an interest
ed party unless Japan retracts from the
position which they assumed towards the
United States during the progress of the
war with China.
1t is not generally known that just be-
fore the declaration of The armistice
which preceded the signature of the trea-
ty OF peace, an issue had grown up be-
tween the United tSates and Japan that
threatened to lead to actual hos.ilities be-
tween the two countries, and that hos
tile crash was perhaps only arrested by
the conclusion OF the Chinese war. This
issue arose through the assertion by the
Japanese authorities of the right to
search american vessels. They insisted
that they had the right to board an
American vessel If they chose, to take
from her amy Chinese, OF any enemies
they might find, even though they were
but passengers. Our minister promptly
denied the existence of such a right on
the part of a combatant, and a hot cor
respondence ensued. The Japanese in
sisted on their right, though Minister
Dunn intimated that the first assertion of
such right would be regarded by the
United States as an unfriendly act and
therefore likely to lead to war. Matters
progressed to such a perilous state that
When Admiral Carpenter was about to
escort an American merchant ship out
OF a Japanese port to prevent her de-
tention by the Japanese, the latter, It Is
said' gave orders to the shore batteries
at the mouth of the hartbor to fire upon
the American naval vessels If they at
tempted to do SO. This fact came out
after the conclusion of the armistice
which fortunately occurred at Just this
point in the negotiations, thereby pre-
venting an incident that would certainly
have resulted in war. But the significant
point is that the Japanese have steadily
clung to the same contention, promising
serious trouble In the event of another
war In the east.

A BANK GOES UNDER.
Principal Institution in Palouse Fails to
Meet Unexpected Demands.

Palouse City, August 9.-The Bank Of
Palouse closed Its doors this morning
An unexpected demand from Its largest
creditors, which the bank could not meet,
was the immediate cause of the closing.
The bank had capital stock of $SO,OOO
Chas. Il. Cross was president, and J. r.
Payne vice-president. The assets of the
bank were s165,OOO and its liabilities $4,000.
The officers say they will pay dollar for

dation of the First National Bank Of Pa
louise and the Farmers Bank a few
months ago. The principal creditors are

JUMPED TO HIS DEATH.
An Oregon Man Commits Suicide ON Van
couver Island.

Victoria, B. c., August s.-In a fit of
dependency John H. Mullen, lately a
real estate dealer in Albany, Or, jumped
from the Esquimalt and Nanaimo railway
bridge last evening. and this morning his
body was found floating in the harbor.
Mullen arrived here ten days ago and
while on his way wires friend from
Seattle: ''Will be on the Seattle boat

blue all the time he was here. but no
cause is known for it, as ne was said to

DUN's REPORT.
Laborer's Wages to Be Raised In the Coal
Fields.

New York, August Or. G. Dun &c Co.
say in their weekly review Of trade: Bus
mess continues unusually active for mid
summer and though there is a perceptible
relaxation there are no signs of reaction.
One change of great Importance which
the past week has brought is the ami
cable settlement between coal mines and
employees in Pnnsylvania, Ohio and In
diana. 1t is said about 100000 men will
have their wages increased after October
by this adjustment, and while the en-
largoment of the purchasing power is of
consequence, 1t seems even more import
ant that chronic case of controversy has
been removed by the new agreement as
to company stores.
Failures for the week were 225 in the
United States against 264 last year, and
43 in Canada against 81 last year.

MURDER THE CAUSE.
The Pendleton Fire to Cover a Murder.


Pendleton, Or, August 9.-Today 1t was
discovered that Geo. II. ClaclSing, vic
tim of "Wednesday nights fire, was sec
retary Of the Elk Lodge at Cascade
Locks, "a young man of good, standing
of that town, employed by Day Brothers
on the government works.
There are many reasons to think that
some one was murdered before the fire
was set and that the hotel was burned to
wipe out the evidence OF guilt. A woman
carried out during the fire said that she
saw man lying in pool Of blood. The
story was at first discredted. but now
again IL made subject Of inquiry and
the opinion is general that she was right
and that there is much evidence that the
statement Is true.

OREGON BLACK SANDS.

Washington, August 9.-The report Of
the mineral resources now being issued
by the geological survey, gives short
account of antlmony and platinum. 1t
says that antimouial ores have been
found in a number of western states,
chiefly in Arkansas, California, Idaho.
Montana, Nevada and Utah. The results
of the examination Of the black sands OF
the Oregon beaches have proved a dis
appointment, the amount OF platinum
being scarcely noticeable. although the
sand contains sl,55 In goEd per ton.

With buttons missing from her shoe she never
