JOHNNY JOHNSON TALKS.
Discusses Foreign Riders and
Doesn't FIatter Them.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Bicyclist John
s. Johnson, who just returned from
Europe, does not believe that the crack
foreign riders are as dangerous as they
have been painted. He admits that they
are long way from the novice stage,
but he predicts that if the pick of the
French and English riders should come
over and meet our stars they would
have the utmost respect for the Ameri-
cans.
These men are fast riders,' Johnson
said last night. "but they are not
speedy enough to beat our best men in
contest. They are up to all the tricks
~ the trade and can make it very I'M
comfortable for a stranger if they try,
and they generally try. I hope some
of them will come over this season,
but | doubt if arrangements could be
made to get them here for there is
plenty of money in racing where they
are"
Tom Eek will continue to manage
Johnson, and, according to the Mime
apolis rider Eek remained abroad to
secure the American rights for an cleo
trio tandem to be used as pacemaker.
Johnson says he saw the machine in
operation, and that he is not enthusi-
astic over it. He is on his way to Chi
cago, and will in all probability start
for Louisville early this week.

vention with China.

LONDON, Aug. 4-Hhe Times this
morning has an article regarding Ii
hung Chang's views and the object OF
MS mission to England. The Chinese
statesman considers, this article says
that England could, if she had chosen
have prevented China's disastrous war
with Japan. He therefore reproacF,es
England with waning friendship and
contends that China was taken by sur
prise when entirely unprepared for
war He now desires as an evidence
OF sympathy that England should con-
cede to China the right to make a sub
stant1al addition to the duties charged
under the treaty between them upon
goods entering Chinese ports.
The fall of silver, Ii Hung Cbane
contends, has rendered the revenue de-
rived from these duties half of its
original value. Japan has already Sc
cured similar relaxation of old re-
strictions.
LII Hung Chang hints, according to
the Times article, that this increase In
Chfna's revenue will be devoted to the
purchase of warlike stores in Europe
He assures u.s." says the Times
-
be put into operation, including pro-
vision for fleet and an army which
WITHIN f1ye years, will place China ir
a position that would render impos.
sible any such defeat as she recently
endured"
The Times says in an editorial or
the foregoing: when definite pro
posals are made England will be ready
to discuss them on a business footing
Unless the increase in duties is &C
companfed by greater facilities fol
trade in other directions it can only
operate to restrict the volume Of bust
ness If, on his return to China, II
Hung Chang will make beginning by
insisting upon an efficient protection OF
Europeans in the interior, and the
abatement of vexatious internal i'm
pests, and will guarantee equality in
treatment between the seaboard and
the land frontier trade, and by salts
tying US that the concessions will not
be used to carry out secret understand
ings with our rivals, he may be as
sured that England will not fail to re.

Comislkey was confined to his room in

Stallings was at himself and took
care of everything, and Gillen made
two wonderful stops, Whistler PLAYING
the greatest game ever seen on first.
Gillen's batting also bordered on the
sensational, although there was luck
IN both of his three baggers. MuIlane

his medicine with better demeanor
than he usually shows here Pickett.
