THE MINERAL LAND FIGHT
The Miners Conclude to Renew the Old
Battle
Every Railroad Application for Patent
Will Be Met by Protests Setting
Forth the Miners Claims

SAN FRANCISCO Dec. 1.-THE min
eral land fight between the miners and
the subsidized roads is to be renewed
in California 1t will be conducted
substantially on the lines followed two
years ago, when nearly every applica-
ton by the companies for lands claimed
to be agricultural was met by protests,
setting forth that they were mineral in
character. In this manner about 100, 900
acres were for time tied up, but since
then have been released under rulings
by the interior department an dabOut
100000 acres of mining lands have been
patented to the railroad companies. APP
plications for additional patents prin-
cipally in Sierra, Shasta and Siskiyou
counties are now on file, and it was re-
solved by the new mineral lands COM
mittee of the State Miners association
at its first meeting today to place every
obtacle in the way of the alienation OF
the lands in question from the public
domain. 1t was decided in addi-
tion to filing protests to send a per-
sonal letter to each United States sena-
tor and congressman from mining states,
informing him of the status of the min
eral lands bill and inviting his cooper
alton and support in obtaining its pas
sage. The secretary of the interior will
also be notified of the status of mineral
land legislation as affecting railroad lin
it's in California.

1t was mutually agreed by the riders
to withdraw from the track between
and o'clock, during which hour several
spirited races were run.
The closing hours of the race were
marked by the greatest enthusiasm ever
displayed at such a contest in this coun-
try. Nearly 10000 persons were in the
garden at o'clock, and in many of the
boxes were elegantly attred women.
The throng in the arena was so great the
services of the police were required to
prevent the spectators from pressing too
close against the railing around the
track.
AT p. m. Maddox told his friends he
was going to give Moore run for tenth
place. At that time Maddox was 1886
miles and Moore 1899. At o'clock Mad
dox had gained on the Philadelphian
and at o'clock he was riding at sprint
ing speed. Maddox made three laps to
every two made by the other riders. He
rode with as much vim as he did at the
beginning of the race and every time
he passed the other riders the crowd yell
ed itself hoarse.

NEVER SAID A SINGLE WORD
Ia Objection to Cleveland's Language
Regarding Turkey
The Sultan Has Business on Hand Which
Leaves Him no Time to Worry
Over Trifles.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia positive
denial is made by the state department
of the publihsed report that Mustapha
Bey the Turkish minister, by direction
of the sultan, entered a protest against
the language of the presidents message
to congress in his treatment of the Turk
ish question. The report is character
lied as pure fiction. 1t is pointed out
that Mustapha Bey did not make a call
on Secretary Olney on the day he is al
legged to have signified the displeas-
ure of the sultan. 1t is probably true
that the government of Turkey is far
from pleased at what Cleveland had to
say concerning Turkey, but the rules
of International law are we'll settled.
Communications of the executive to con-
gress are domestic matters with which
other nations have no concern. Whar-
toms international law is clear on this
point, which arose in the famous case
between Austria and the United States,
in which it was clearly manifest that
Austria could not notice references to
Hungary made in the presidential nles-
sage.
The Turkish minister has authorized
the Associated Press to state that he re-
ceived no instructions from his govern
ment touching the presidents message,
and that he had not made any official
communications to the state depart
ment or to any branch of the United
States government concerning the SUBJ
ject.

1t was just about this date that the
Society of the People called Metho-

house of worship. 1t was an old cannon
foundry near the present site of Fins-
bury square In London, and the Wesleys
lived in an old house at the rear. They
conducted a sort of religious book store,
also in one of the rooms of the foundry.
The church was always known as tine

which sat the congregation in separate
groups of men and women.
"The exact regularity of their lives"

Turkish minister on Secretary Olney
was two weeks ago, long before the
presidents message. Since then he has
not seen the secretary of state, except
at social gathering at the British em-
bassy.
Moreover, no protest or any action has
been directed from Constantinople. In
the HUFFMAN case Secretary of State
Webster laid down the doctrine, since
observed, that a presidents message
was domestic communication to the
people, at which foreign representatives
could take no offense.
From the long service of Mustapha
Bey as a diplomat there is reason to be-
lieve he is fully aware of all the prece-
dents and usages In this connection.
The minister called at the state de-
partment today, it being the first time in
two weeks. 1t was the transaction of
the usual business of the legation, and
was in no way related to the protest
against the message.

The air of the houses should not come
from the cellar, nor yet from the gar

Exposure to sewer gas must inevita-

Twelve-foot ceilings are high enough

Dust particles in the lungs may cause
inflammation or even laceration by their
sharp edges.
One popularity of overcharge Of car

muscular power.
Adults do not need more than 5000
cubic feet Of air per hour, unless they
are laboring.
A high h-ceilinged room is harder to
ventilate than a low-ceilinged one with
broader floor space.

There Is no text book on ventilation

Electrical fans for driving air into or

very best means of ventilation.

Carbon dioxide is harmless even in

relationship between high mortality and

A Four-Page Pamphlet Setting Forth
the Birth and Growth Of the
Great Organization

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 6.--An original
copy of the first printed Rules Of the
Society of the People Called Methodists
was unearthed today in this city, and
as it was published by John and Charles
Wesley, over their own signatures, In
1743, and contains the first nucleus of
the literature of the Methodist church,
it is a most interesting document, not
only to followers of that faith, but to
students of religious history.
The circular is of four pages, and is
falling to pieces with age and handling.
The paper is yellow and the print is
unreadable in places from the stains
of time. The first paragraphs are as fol-
lows:
''In the latter end Of the year 1879 eight
or ten persons came to London. who ap-
peared to be deeply convinced Of sin,
and earnestly groaning for redemption
They desired (as did two or three more
the next day. that would spend some
time with them in prayer and advise
them how to flee from the wrath to come,
which they saw continually hanging
over their heads. That we might have
more time for this great work, I ap-
pointed day when they might all come
together. which from thenceforward
they did every week, viz: on Thursday III

advices from time to time which I
judged most needful for them, and we

ton, and to watch over one another in
love, that they may help each other to
work out their salvation.
"Third-That it may be more easily
discerned whether we were working out
their own salvation, this society Is d.
vided into smaller companies, called
classes, according to their respective
places of abode. There are about twelve
persons in every class, one Of whom is
styled the leader"
The rules for the use of these leaders
are then set further together with list
of occasions of temptation that beset
mankind. Prominent among the latter
are drunkenness, buying or selling spir-

By Twelve Of the Twenty. eight Men
Who Started
Click Stayed to the Finish, Coming in
More Than Eight Hundred
Miles in the Rear

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Edward Hale
of Ireland won the six-day bicycle race
in Madison-square garden, having rid
den 1910 miles and laps between mid
night last Sunday and 10 o'clock tonight.
j. S. Rice of Wilkesbarre, Pa, finished
second with 1882 miles and 6 laps to his
credit Twelve riders broke the world S
record for 142 hours made by Albert
Cchock in 1898, 1900 miles and lap.
Twenty eight men started and fifteen
rode at the finish. The strain on all has
been great and all showed the effects of
the loss Of sleep. Hale and Rice, who
finished first and second, were fresher
than any of the others. Hale spurted to
the end, and between 9 and 10 o'clock
made a mile in 2:40. after riding more
than ISL hours. Taylor, the colored boy
who has been in buoyant spirits all the
week, was so stiff when he dismounted
that he had to be carried to his dressing
room.
The scene in the garden this evening
was exciting, although there was no
doubt as to the order in which the men
would finish. The attendance was $4,000.
Edawrd Hale, the winner of the race,
was born in Temple Patrick, near Bel
fast, Ireland. He has been riding the
bicycle for seventeen years, and during
that time has taken part in hundreds Of
races at all distances. ell has won all
the long distance events in England and
has, it is said, won as many as any other
bicycle rider living. Hale has ridden in
many of the big races in France and has
often been a winner He won a road
race from Paris to Bayonne. Before the
present race the longest distance Hale
had ridden was S75 miles in road race
in England. Hale rode an English wheel
geared to SO, higher than that of any
other rider.
The prizes to the winners will be: First
man, $1,000; second, $500; third, $500;
fourth, $3.50; fifth, $500; sixth, 5000; sew
enth, $3.50; eighth, $125; ninth, $100; tenth
500; eleventh, SIS.
Manager Powers, manager, however,
saaid that every man who remained in
the race to the finish would get $10O ex-
ira.
Enthusiasm reached fever heat early
in the afternoon when Hale and Rice,
tween them, commnced to ride in dead
earnest. The Irishmans eyes CLAIMED
and snapped fire, and he invited the
Wilkesbarre lad to "come on, "and the
latter accepted the challenge, but was
