LOUISVILLE, KY. August 12-The
weather today is all that the visiting
wheelmen could desire, and they are en-
1oying themselves to the full extent A
heavy thunder storm last night caused the
thermometer to take tumble, and all day
a good breeze has been blowing. which has
had the effect Of cooling of the atmosphere
to such an extent as to make ride on the
wheel thoroughly enjoyable.
All tie preparations for the races, which
be gin tomorrow, have been completed. and
everything is in fine shape, the track being
lightning fast. Some good sport is an
ticipated, and it will not be surprising IL
old records are lowered and new ones hung
up.
In this connection. Mr.. w. C. Pefot of
Chicago says: These will be the greatest
rsces in the history of the bicycle
They Will be the greatest for the eason
that the fastest men in the country and
more of them viii take part in the con-
tests than ever before gathered at a BIZ
cycie race track. Another thing. the track
s the fastest in the world.
All the racers are in excellent condition
ana eager for the faurels which will fail to
ana contests. Ii these conditions do not
insure great races l don't know what
would
The small number of lady cyclists present
up to date Is a cause of remark, but 1t is
expected that by tomorrow quite q large
crowd Of the fair sex will be In attend
ance.

JAPANESE IN FORMOsA.
AlmDsst Incredible Charges of Brutal-

AAmsst Ancrcdtbfe Charges OF BrUtal-
fty md Barbnrity.
VICTORIA. B. c., August 12-From far
Fcrmosa. where for upward of a year Jap
anese troops have been vainly striving TO
crush out the seeds of pest-bellum oppo-
s.tion to Japanese innovations, comes a
story which for barbarous cruelty and de-
fant violation of all ethics of civilization
has fortunately few parallels in history
even of the savage races of the world. The
terrible tale of rapine. murder and wanton
cruelty brought here by the steamer En-
press Of Japan fully bears out the state
ment Of the situation in Forrnosa given
publicity by the Rev. DR.. Mackay on his
return to that island six months ago. Other
equally credible correspondents are now
the witnesses against Japan and the bur-
den of their arraignment Is that, seeing
neither fame nor pTofft to be gained in the
sCbjugation Of the Formosans by the arts
OF modern warfare, recognized as Legitimate te
by civilized nations the Japanese troops
sent to the island have embarked in a cru
SADIE of blood, their object being to crush
all signs of discomfort by as Ear as possible
exterminating the native population. In
this campaign there were no foreign pow
ers to make protest, no foreign press rep
resentatives to herald to the world the
atrocities. the telling of which would bring
upon Japan the contempt of all enlight-
eEed people.
Says the Tainanfu representative of the
China Mail: AS a result, the policy of eX-
termination has been zealousTy pursued
from the beginning Of the campaign, and
what with the destruction of their crops,
the burning of their villages, the dc secra- :
ton of the graves of their loved ones the
violation of their wives and daughters and
the butchery Of their innocent children
the people are driven to the last expedents
of desperation.

Slight improvement in Values Over
Yesterday.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, August l2--Under the in
f1uence of lower London quotations the
traders sold the market at the opening
today. expecting at the same time to be
benefited in their effort to some extent by
the entrance of the silver candidate into
New York and the wild demonstration at
tendant thereon. They were, however. frus-
rrated in their plans. and a continue ton
of slight Improvement in prices over
yesterdays closing was recorded. due to
some good buying. brought about by the
moderate better feeling, which Is gaining
in strength Although the tone of finan-
cial circles has improved ard the fe cling
of anxiety and f.verishncss has retired in
favor of better understanding as re-
CARDS the real cause Of the present great
decline in values: still nevertheless there
are no real facts at present visible upon
which can be based cause for an imme-
diate aggregate advance in the prices OF
securities to correspond with the decline.
The sharp rally in prices this week was
undoubtedly due to the covering of short
interests, brought about by the better
speculative temper in our securities as re-
Ported from London. which Is in the
midst of the fortnigntly settlement.
The failure of a couple of financial Insti-
tttions yesterday did not worry the mar
ket much. for On account of the heavy de-
clineS in the value of securities this sum-
mer the announcement of trouble In such
institutions in Wall street and elsewhere
has been looked for.
During the next thirty days a variety of
trading may be looked for on account of
the discussions in reference to the action of
the directors of several particular proper
ties. who will meet during this period 10
take action on the regular dividends of
these speCialties. The directors of Bur-
llngton meet within a week, and consider

The market shortly before the delivery

pared to acquiesce to the new turbary
clause, 70 Lord Incfiquin's new subscrip-

Macnag items amendment omittinS clause g.
Mr.. Gerald Balfour also said that the

Getriment Of the tenants, but he hoped the
lLrds would accept the measure in the
shape the COMMONS would return 1t to

Ireland, including the landlords themselves
Continuing, the chief secretary said there
