Gated a foreclosure of the mortgage on

which he is opposed
Concerning the granted lands OF the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific COM
panies, the secretary recommended
that instead OF proceeding 10 patent

an act OF forfeiture which would eX-
enmt bona fide purchasers Of lands
from the railroad companies and pro-
vide for patenting their lands 70 bona
f1de purchasers.
The general subject OF the govern
ment's relations 10 the roads being then
taken up. Secretary Smith was asked
by Mr.. Boatner whether il was possible
TO have foreclosure on the roads car
ried out without government owner
ship.
Yes sir" answered the secretary.
There would be no difficulty. We
should approach this matter solely as
representa- Of the governments in
terests- Other parties can be trusted
TO represent themselves"
While he was utterly opposed to gov
eminent ownership. Secretary Smith
said that the threat OF government
ownership should not prevent the gov
eminent from foreclosing and making
a resale. As for the lease Of control 10
the Southern Pacific. foreclosure would
wipe that out, as that contract had been
made subject 10 the governments lien.
Secretary Smith said that any pur-
chaser OF the roads could pay d fair
rate OF interest on bonds, pay a fair
sum every year for the redemption OF
bonds. and still have d handsome profit

Cycling In Paris.

Paris Correspondence OF the Boston Transcript.
The cycling frenzy has so taken hold of
the French that in little while the nor
NAL use of the feet for locomotion out of
doors will have become recollection. Ten
der infants. decrepit old men and prodig-
iously fat ladies of uncertain age now go
about on wheels, and nobody looks sur
prised. On cafe terraces the trousered legs
of our belle bicyclists m;ngle picturesquely
with other legs. and this, too, has ceased
to surprise anybodyA
Meanwhile the record of speed is being
pushed alf ost daily little further. and
the bicycle competition is becoming quite
serious matter to railway companies. The
other day an international match was run
from Bordeaux to Paris, distance of 591
kilometers, or 80 miles. This distance
was covered by an Englishman named Lin
ton in 81 hours. II minutes, 1S seconds. A
Frenchman. Rivierre. arrived minute
later. They, therefore, travelled during the
twenty-one hours at an average rate of
171s miles an hour. Many of the omnibus
trains in France dc not go so fast. Twelve
hours are reckoned as express speed be-
tween Paris and Bordeaux. 1t is truly
amazing how fast a man can now travel
by the mere expenditure of his own mus
cular effort. But to attain such results as
these scered by Linton and Rivierre he has
to make machine of himself by course
OF training that stiles any other aim in
life. There are some old-fashioned. half
fossilizeJ people still left who think that
the game Is not worth the candle.

of the city to follow in the order of their
seniority other wheel organizations, local
and visiting Christian Endeavorers, to be
followed by the unattached riders in four
sections. representing the different sections
into which the city Is divided. In order to
secure large representation of this class
of wheelmen and wheelwomen four gentle
men were assigned, one to each part of the
city, as follows: Capt. Hodgson, southeast;
DR.. Hodges, northeast; Capt. Wiggins
northwest. and w. H. Henshaw, southwest

after the details Of the various sections
Each section will have a marshal and aids
1t was decided that wheelwomen should
ride with the club to which their escorts
belong. but that they must take the left of

mittee will meet next Monday at 431 10th

big parade and to meet the gentlemen rep
resenting the four sections of the city.

A Bridal Gift From Bohemia.
ON the New York Post


beautiful and unique bridal gift that
lately came to an American bride Is a
three-yard square Of white linen nearly
covered with drawn work and rich en-
broidery done in gold-colored silk. The de-
sign for the cloth is the work Of Prof Tenn
peky Of Vienna, one Of the most noted de-
sIgrers Of the world. The embroidery itself
was done by ninety young needlewomen
who live in little hamlets among the noun
Gins Of Bohemia. The millions of stitches
upon the cloth were the leisure-hour occu-
patton Of three years, and were done as q
labor of love after the days work Of
stitching was over. The design Of the cloth
extending from the center shows first a
knot of the gold-colored silk surrounded
by a cobweb Of drawn work, beyond which
there are long narrow linen points, on
which small flowers are worked. Then
there Is circle Of linen worked with
French knots and having the edges finished
in buttonhole stitch. Next there is q mass
of solid embroidery. In which every known
stitch Is said to be used to carry out the
varied design. Beyond this there are other
borders. combining drawn-work and en-
broidery. The finest work il on q band
about two feet from the edge Of the cloth
The edge itself has q hem six inches wide.

suit to foreclose the mortgage, and yes
terday the order for sale was issued. The
case presents come interesting features.
The Mercantile Trust Company is under
stood to be one Of the concerns that Messrs.
j. p. Morgan & Co. permit to share in a
good thing when the great banking house
doesn't want the entire profits of the trans
action for itself. and the suit is evidently a
friendly one and possibly the result will be
directly to J. p. Morgan & Co.'S advantage.
Ihe Norfolk and Western Company, like
the Baltimore and Ohio and Reading has
been hard up for several years. and some-
thing Ike two years ago went into the
hands of receivers The ereat bulk Of the
stock is owned by Philadelphia capitalists.
and possibly by some who cannot be
ciassed as capitalists. but Notwithstanding
this. Messrs. ]. P. Morgan & Co were in
vited to undertake the work of reorganiza-
ton. They accepted. and after considering
the matter for many months, a plan of re.
organization, inspired by the banking
house. was submitted to the stockholders
and by the great majority OF them ac-
cepted.
Before the plan could be carried into ef-
feet. however. the Mercantile Trust Com
pany entered. as stated, q suit for fore
closure on account Of default Of interest.
Inc mortgage in the case is for 81. 300, ,OOO
1t was executed December Is, 1890 and
was payable January l. 1941, bearing per
cent interest but no coupons have, It is
than year.
The Norfolk and Western Company, SO
far from contesting the sale, admitted
when the suit was filed that what was
stated in the bill filed by the trust COM
pany was true. and stated that the rail-
ROAD company IL unable to pay the interest
coupons by reason OF its insolvency, and
that the best interests Of all concerned re-
Quired that the property shall be sold as
an entirety. 1t Is believed that in the event
or foreclosure and sale Of the road being
ordered by the court there is but one con-
Germ that could purchase 1t. and that this
Is J. 2. Morgan G. Co. and the syndicate
which operates with them in their great
financial undertakings.
Surprise has sometimes been manifested
that there is frequently SO much talk about
). r Morgan & Co. buying great systems
OF railroads with apparently as much ease
as though such matters were everyday oc-
currences with them. but ii should be
taken into consideration that not only is
that great banking house an immensely
rich concern. but with the a1dition O. the
capital of those affiliated with them the
syndicate has almost limitless wealth at
It's command. which enables the accom-
p!ishment Of almost anything in the way
OF buying that money can secure and be-
Sides road put on the auction block with
only one concern wanting 1t, and that one
only for the purpose Of protecting its own
interest. Is not apt to command q very
high price.

The QuadrnnEular Varsity Boat
Race I'm Record Time.
The great intercollegiate boat race at
Poushkeepsie between Cornell, Harvard
Pennsylvania and Columbia was rowed last
evening under ideal conditions, and Cornell
won in record-breaking time. CornelPs
time. as given out officially. was nineteen
miputes and twenty-nine seconds. Har-
ward finished about three lengths behind
Cornell. and there was less than a boat
length of open water between Harvard
and Pennsylvania. Columbia, the cham
pion crew of last year, plowed along hone
lessly in the rear. and finished alone in the
twiliSht at distance not to be calculated
in lengths.
The only feature that marred an other
wise IDEAL race was a disagreement be-
tween the tmekeepers and an evident error
somewhere In the relative times given out.
resulting from the fact that the timekeep-
nnish when the three leaders crossed the
finish line, due to the judges boat coming
down behind the Columbia

HE MAY VOTE In MARYLAND.

State Court Of Appeals Decides In
Favor of Mr. MelOy.
The Maryland court of appeals last week
unanimously decided that Mr. William A.
Meloy of this oity and Maryland was en-
titled to vote in Prince Georges county.
He had been refused a register in the fall
prior to the election. and. carrying his case
to the circuit court. he was defeated. His
right to vote was opposed under the law
Of 1890. and his case was similar to that of
Mr.. B. H. Warner, whose residence in
Montgomery county was challenged, but
without avail The court Of appeals held
that in the case OF Mr.. Meloy the court
below had erred, and directed that he be
allowed to register and to vote.
