Silver Democratic Executive Committee
VIII Call Another Meeting Soon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The execu-
tive committee appointed by the Dem
ocratic silver conference to effect a
permanent organization met at the
Metropolitan hotel and decided not to
attempt to complete the national COM
mittee for the present. The postpone
ment was rendered necessary by the
fact that the committee had received
the names of proper men for the ma
tional organization from only the states
represented at the conference. Col.
onel Young said that it was the pur-
pose of the executive committee to
complete the national organi zation as
soon as practicable.

CHICAGO, Aug. l7.-Private Herman
Fritz we'll appearing young soldier
from Fort Hamilton, n. Y, is en- route
from Fort Hamilton to Fort Smelling,
Mimi. on bicycle, bearing a dispatch
between the commandants of the two
forts. He is well fitted ont with bag
gage, although he carries no more than
is necessary Tor his comfort, and this
IS for him, like all soldiers who have
seen service Oh the plains, but little.
Fritz does not stop at hotels, however,
but camps out wherever night over
takes him, and accordingly carries a
tent ard cooking outfit, which greatly
increases the weight of his baggage.
A Practical Test.
The trip is being made as an expert.
ment to discover how long it would
take for such trip upon practicable
basis. 1t is the first IOng bicycle trip
to be undertaken by soldier of the
regular army carrying side arms and
equi ipments. The times OF the record
breakers which have been taken as the
basis for calculation cannot be equaled
by the men who would be called upon
for courier work in actual service, and
this ride will furnish valuable data for
the study OF military statisticians.
Making I. ood Time.
Fritz was unfortunate in being seized
with an attack of indigestion which
delayed him for several days at Buf
falo, N. Y. His mileage is being care
fully kept, however, and the rider is
averaging close to 100 miles "A day. He
goes to Fort sheridan to report to the
military authorities there, and Will
