is worthy OF note. There was quite a
large gathering and twenty-five men
were enrolled at once. From the in

parent that Philadelphia will have this
year as large an organization of mill
tary wheelmen as the several other
cities where such associations were
formed last year.

BICYCLES FOR SOLDIERS
Philadelphia Now Wants Company

GENERAL NILES ENTHUSIASTIC
Ten Relays Rode from New York to

Goyernmeut Service.

Philadelphia Is to have an organiza-
tion of military wheelmen. 1t Will be
known as the United States Wheelmen
of Philadelphia and 1t Is modelled after
associations of the same kind in
Washington and New York.
The large amount Of attention now
being directed by military authorities
not only in this country but In Europe
to the availability of the bicycle in con-
nectiOn with army work Is responsiple
for the formation in several cities or
cycling organizations with more or
less military flavor. In Washington.
ID. c., q company was formed during
last summer which was recruited from
members of the militia and they took Il
chief hand In carrying into effect the
project to convey a despatch from the
national capital to General Miles at
Fort Hamilton, New York. by means
of relays of bicycle riders. There were
ten relays, two men to each relay, and
the entire distance. 249la miles. was
covered in the exceptionally good time
of 23h hours.

list at present for the movement of ord

the project for the relay ride from
Washington to New York had not taxi

Is said to be an extremely interesting
and important one. He. with Captain
Staubach. assisted in bringing
through the tenth relay in the teeth
of snow and sleet from New Bruns-
wick to New York.
The idea OF the ride originated with
General Miles and Brigadier General
Ordway. The wheels ridden by the
men averaged - lbs. in weight, and
each man carried twenty-five rounds
of ammunition and the regulation
army revolver.
FOR ARMY PURPOSES.
The ride demonstrated fully that for
many purposes the bicycle can be ef-
ficaciously used for army purposes.
more especially In the line of scouting
and carrying dispatches. According
to information In the hands of Com
mander-in-Chief Miles, there are ut
present in the army between 5000 and
1900 officers and men who are able to
use the bicycle. and he has expressed
himself on more than one occasion as
being in favor of the employment of
the bicycle In active service.

Arithmetic and Good Roads.

The census returns show that there
are I'm the United States about l5.0O0.- =
900 horses, over 1000. 900 mules and ~. =
900 asses. The annual cost of feed for
these animals is about $l.5,6, 600. 900.
On fine stone roads one horse can haul
as much as three horses can haul over
the average dirt road of this counery.
1t Is estimated that it would he neces-
sary to build about l.000,O00 miles of
macadamlzed road in the United
States In order to have as good a sys-
TEN of public highways as is found in
several European states. At $1,000 per
mile this would involve an outlay of
$4,000 100000, u pretty large sum of
money.
But If one-half of the draught ami
mails could be dispensed with by the
building of such roads there would be
an annual saving of si3S, 600, 900 in the
feed bill. This is 8 per cent. interest
on $3t,OOO, ,0OO,Oo0 Consequently. If
| road bonds We're issued bearing :, per

of macadamized road could be built
without increasing the annual ey-
penses one dollar The people are pay
ing j per cent. on $26, ,0OO. .0OO, 900 in order

while IL would not cost them one sixth
of that sum annually to build the

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 9.-Ac-
cording TO the latest indications, the
total vote of the State for Governor
did not exceed 40,55O, of which Blox-
ham (Dem.) received 27,25, Gunby
(Rep.) $3.50, and Weeks (Pop.) 440.
Complete returns from twenty-nine
counties of of forty-five give Bloxham
q, 549 votes, against 25,334 for Mitchell
in the same counties in 1S92-a loss of
10 per cent in the Democratic total.
This proportiOnate loss has appeared
very uniformly in the returns, and in
dictates a loss of about 1880 in the
State as a whole from the aggregate
Democratic vote of four years ago.
Bloxham's majority over all may not
exceed $4,000.
OF 100 members of the Senate and
House, ninety-one are Democrats, of
whom sixty-four are believed to be
against and twenty-seven for the re
election of Wilkinson Call to the
United States Senate.

Tom Watson'~ state Fails to stand by
Him Properly.
ATLANTA (Ga.), Oct w. H. At
kinson Cd is reelected by a majority
of not less than 5000, which is an in
crease of 5000 over the party majority
of two years ago. The situation at
midnight was very complex, and the
result is largely guess work. Fulton
county, in which this city is situated,
has given Atkinson a majority of 1000.
where two years ago it gave majority
of 1900. Bibb county this year gives
majority of 600 and two years ago it
gave the Democrats a majority of 5000.
In the Tenth district, which is the
home of Thomas Watson, the Demo-
cratic majority has dropped from 5000
to 2O00 1t is generally considered,
however that Atkinson has carried the
State by at least $4,000, and the re-
turns are expected by his friends to
show that he has a majority of $4,000.
This, if true, will mean that the bal
ance of the ticket has been successful
by majorities of 10000.
ATLANTA (Ga), Oct 9-Returns
received so far on Wednesdays cleo
ton show that the total Populist vote
will not exceed $4,000. 1t was 95SSS
in 1894, showing decrease of about
1000. The falling off is largely at
tributed to the capture of the negro
vote by Governor Atkinson. Official
figures coming in today do not materi
ally change the estimate made yester-
day.
In few sections of the State the
Populist vote was increased. In near
ly every case it was due to the person
al popularity of some Populist nom
inee. To offset this, however, twenty
counties that were Populist in 1894
rolled up Wednesdays average Demo-

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-At the Ma
tional Republican headquarters today
after a conference of the entire execu-

plished and assured fact. They will
receive 270 Electoral votes. Bryan

having siXty-seven Electoral votes
which are doubtful, but the prObabili-
ties point to the fact that these sixty
seven votes will go into the Republican
column and be added to the 270 now
assured for Mckinley and Hobart
This is the status today. We have the

ton has abandoned the East" The

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Chairman Jones
of the National Democratic Committee
gave out a statement tonight charac-
terizing as absurd the figures showing
the probable result of the election as
given out by Senator Quay. Chair
man Jones states that in all the States
classed by Senator Quay as doubtful a
complete and harmonious fusion be-
tween the Democrats, Populists and
Silver-Republicans exists, rendering
them certain for Bryan. For the same
reason he classes as doubtful the
States of Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin,
and claims for Bryan the Electoral
votes of Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
North Dakota and West Virginia, all
of which were claimed for Mckinley
by Quay. The table given out by
Chairman Jones 279 for Bryan and 81
as doubtful.
