CYCLING IN GREECE.
The Sport Has Rapidly Grown I'm
POpula rity.


While the bicycle has sprung into such
popularity in America, it is pleasing to
note that this is not the only country
which has recognized the many advantages
of cycle riding. In England there is de-
cided increase, and what is more gratify-
ing is the fact that the American-made
wheels are supp!anting the British make.
In the other countries the same progress is
reported. especially in Germany, France
and Russia.
In far-away Cree ece the cycling craze has
begun. ard this was given a great impetus
at the Olympian games at Athens in last
April. According to a recent report of
George Horton. the consul OF the United
States, at Athens. the history of bicycling
in Greece may be said to have commenced
in Athens about eight years ago. with the
foEEding of several clubs. and lis adoption
as ali amusement by leading Greeks. The
royal family and many of the leading dip
lomsts are enthusiastic cyclists. and the
crown prince and the English. American
and German ministers. among others. may

Society of "Ca-Too-Ahs" Said to He After
His Scalp.
SOUTH MCALIsTER, Oct. l3.-It is
rumored that United States Commits
sioner David w. Yancey of %Tahlequah,
in the Cherokee country, has been
spotted" by the society of Indian
criminals known as the "Ca-Too-Ahs,"
which has for a long time been the
terror Of all law-abiding and especially
law-enforcing people of that country.
To an Associated Press representative
Commissioner Yancey denied any
knowledge Of the matter, and says he
feels certain that the society, whose ex-
istence he doubts, has no member who
could justly charge him with improper
or excessive prosecution or punishment,
which apparently is the cause for COM
plant. 1t is believed to have been one
of the "Ca-Too-Ahs" members who
assasinated, Thomas H. Madden of
Braggs Station, about six months ago.

hold the power to control and regulate
paper currency is inseparable from the
power to coin money, and hence that al
currency intended to circulate as money
should be issued and it's volume con-
trolled by the general government only,
and it should be legal tender. We are
unalterably opposed to the issue by the
United States OF interest bearing bonds
in time Of peace, and We denounce as a
blunder worse than a crime the present
treasury policy, concurred in by the re-
publican house, OF plunglng the country
IN debt by hundredso of millions in a vain
attempt to maintain the gold standard
by borrowing gold, and we demand the
payment of all coin obligations OF the
United States as provided by existing
laws in either gold or silver coin at the
option of the government and not at the
option of the creditors.
,. That over and above all other ques-
tions Of policy, we are in favor Of restor-

tion-gold and silver, not one but Both
the money Of Washington, Hamilton,
jefferson, Monroe, jackson and Lin,

pie may receive honest pay for honest
product, that the American debtor may
pay his just obligations in an honest
standard and not in a standard that has
appreciated leo per cent above all the
great staples Of the country, and to the
end further that present silver standard
countries may be deprived of the unjust
advantage they now enjoy in the differ
ence in exchange between gold and sill
ver-an advantage which tariff legisla.
ton alone cannot overcome.
We therefore confidently appeal to the
people Of the United States to leave in
allegiance for the moment all other cues
tions, however important and even mo.
mentous they may appear-to sunder If
need be all former party ties and %affiilia-
tions, and unite in o:e supreme effort to
free themselves and their children from
the domination of the money power-a
power more destructive than any which
has ever Deer fastened upon civilized
OF any race or in any age. And
upon the corsummation OF our desires
and efforts we invoke the gracious favor
OF Divine Providence.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.-Among the
passengers on the steamer Bertha,
which has just arrived from Alaska,
were j. E. Spur, H. B. Goodrich and
S. @. Schrader Of the United States
Geological survey. They were sent by
.he department to Alaska last spring to
make a report on prospects of quartz
n ming in that region, and they spent
the entire summer i'll pursuing their in
vestigations and observations. They
crossed the Chilkat Pass and reached
the Upper Yukon about the middle of
June. They then went down the Yu-
kon to its mouth, pursuing their i1ves-
LEGATIONS at the various mining settle
ments on their way and reached Fort
st. Michaels, at the mouth of the Yukon
three weeks ago, sailing almost imme-
diately for San Francisco.
VIII Be Profitable Properties.
They have satisfied themselves, they
say. that the prospects of profitable
quartz mining in Alaska are very good,
and will make a report to that effect.
There is a big ledge running northwest
and southeast through the country
similar to the mother lode in Califor-
mia, and they expect to see many big
mines opened Oh the ledge before many
years have passed. AT present placer
mining is the only process in vogue ON
the Yukon and its tributaries. They
declare that quartz mining IAN only be
conducted at great expense but they
believe that plenty of ore can be found
of sufficient richness to make quartz
mining not only a paying. but a profit.

encountered are mosquitoes and cold
