JOHNSON is BEATEN
THE MINNEAPOLIS BICYCLIST Is DE-
FEATED By A FRENCHMAN.
Is Compelled to Take tn
Lead I'm Both Heats in the Two
Thousand Metres Race and NORM
Outpaces Him at the End-John-
son Is PeIted with Pebbles by
he Crowd.

Paris, May l9.-Morin, the celebrated
French bicyclist, beat John 5. Johnson
OF minneapolis in both heats of the
2,ooO-meter race on the Velodrome de
In seine. There was extraordinary in
terest manifested in the race, and
there had been a good deal of warmth
OF feeling developed between the two
principals over MISUNDERSTANDING as
to the time and place of meeting. Both
were in a determined mood, and the
10000 people present felt sure of a
good race when they came upon the
track. The appearance of the two
racers was made the occasion for 4
hearty outburst of applause. Again,
during the race, Johnson was accord
ed an ovation when he stopped to al
low his adversary to change a pune
tured tire. Upon the resumption OF
the race Johnson led and after several
attempts TO get NORM in front $50 as to
get him to set the pace both stopped
and leaned against the railing. NORM
~thereupon dismounted and walked off
while Johnson finished the course This
match vas declared void, owing to the
leaning upon the railing. Upon this
the crowd hooted and applauded, ac-
cording to the direction their sympa-
thies took. A pacemaker was hen pro-
vided. Johnson again took the lead and
all efforts to get NORM in front proved
futile. At the last bend in the course
Johnson spurted, but NORM caught
him and finished a length ahead.
A second heat showed n repetition Of
the tactics in the first, Johnson being
forced into the lead. He spurted on
entering the last lap, and gained about
thirty yards on his adversary, but was
again caught and beaten about a
length. The defeat of the American
pleased the crowd and the winning
Frenchman was frantically cheered
by the thousands of spectators. Some
of Morin's admirers fiocked to the
track and surrounded him. tearing his
sweater from his back and replacing it
by a tri-colOred jersey, in which patri-
Otic apparel they escorted him around
the track in a triumphal procession,
amid ceilings and acclamations.
Johnson took his defeat in very good
part, though he did not altogether rel
ish the treatment that had been ac-
corded him by either his opponent or
by the crowd. After the race Johnson
| said to n representative of the Associ-
ated Press:
Il was fairly out-paced in both fin
ishes all right enough. But desire to
express my regret that | was not
treated in n more sportsmanlike man
ner by NORM. After he had been paced
for two laps he fatty refused TO rem
der me any similar service. The crowd
also pelted me with gravel as we went
along the track"
Tom Eek. JohnSon's trainer. said that
the American would do better in a
fortnight. Johnson is also engaged to
race in Paris next Sunday and May "A
and %. He only raced to-day, he said,
to satisfy public curiosity.

FIVE SAILORS LOST.
A Sunk in n Collision on
Lake Michigan,

Chicago, May 10. - The schooner
Mary ID. Aver was sunk in collision
with the steamer Onokee in Lake
Michigan. off Crosse Point early this
morning, and five members of the crew
were drowned. Those lost were Capt.
Williams, Mate Charles Mather, Sea-
men Charles Shires and Tom Jones
and Fitz the cook. All We're from
Chicago.
After the accident the Aver drifted
down the lake with her bow stove in
and was picked up by the steamer
City of Duluth. Shortly after being
taken in tow she sank. and only two
of her crew of seven were able to eS-
cape. The captain lost his life in en-
~deavoring to run the schooner, which
he could easily have abandoned in
time to escape drowning. There was
a dense fog on the lake at the time Of
the collision and the accident is not
believed TO have been the result of
careleSSness. The OnOkee was dam
aged, but not seriously, by the shock.
Every effort vas made to save he
drowning men but without effect. The
Aver was owned by T.. +. Aver, the
big cedar merchant, and wasused in
the lumber trade. She was valued at
5000.

Washington, May 19.-The report of

blacklisting Maj. Mckinley was made
to the council. 1t was technically an
endorsement Of the executive commit
tee. 1t asserted that the executive
committee was warranted. in view of
the evidence presented TO 1t, in placing
a ban upon Mr.. Mckinley. But in
addition it states that a further exam
nation of this testimony by the full
board has convinced the members that
the witnesses were unreliable, and that
their statements are incorrect. There
fore. the board concluded, Mr.. McAin-
lev should be place upon the same
footing, so far as the members of the
A. L. A. are concerned, with the other
candidates for presidential nomina
tons, and should not be disseminated
against. Appended to the report was
n statement in writing by Delegate
Huddleson of California, who asserts
that a committee of which he was
chairman. interviewed Mckinley at
his home in Canton, Ohio, on the 18th
inst. and that the interview was salts

DULUTH TO THE MISSOURI.
Project Sprung Tor n New Air Line
Hallway


Duluth, May 19.-Another railroad is
projected for Duluth. 1t is to be an
air line from Duluth to the Missouri
river in North Dakota, tapping in its
progress the best part of the wheat
fields of Northern Minnesota and
North Dakota. The road as projected
runs from Duluth in a generally west
ern direction, crossing the st. Louis
river between Rice's Point and the di-
viding line between range Is and Ii
west. 1t cuts n small piece from the
northwestern corner of Wisconsin,
strikes Minnesota again on the west
border of township 5S, range 10, thence
it proceeds west through Minnesota
i'm a practically straight line to the
southern boundary of Hubbard coun-
ty. Thence west to a point near the
southwestern corner of the White
Earth Indian reservation. Thence it
proceeds northwest to the boundary
line o. Minnesota on the Red River of
II North at or near Caledonia; thence
west through North Dakota to n point
on the Missouri river which has not
yet been definitely determined. A
branch line runs from n point near the
southwestern corner of the White
Earth Indian reservation southwest to
Moorhead. In this manner a great
stretch Of wheat country is tapped, in
Guiding the choicest portions of the
fertile Rec river valley, some of which
is now quite Il distance from any rail
road. Mr.. Bradford said that the road
was backed by Eastern capital and it's
success vas practically assured. Sur
veys will begin at an early date. The
articles of Incorporation fix the capital
stock at 100000. The limit of in
debtedness is $4,000, 900 and the in
debtedness. aside from mortgaged or
bonded indebtedness, is limited to
two-thirds of the capital. The general
offices of the company are to be in
Duluth. The Incorporation begins May
n and lasts ninety years.

Trouble Between Settlers and In

Washington. May 10. - Trouble be-
tween the Indians on the Tongue river
reservation in Montana and the white
settlers in the neighborhood is not inn
probable, and troops have been asked
for to avert an outbreak. This is the
result Of depredations committed by
the Indians on the cattle Of the whites.
n the situation now is such that
Capt. w. III. Stouch, the acting agent
there, has notified Commissioners of
Indian Affairs Browning of the very
strained condition and asked for a de-
tail of two troops of cavalry to be
sent to the reservation to preserve or
der. This recommendation has been
forwarded to the secretary of war for
action. The troops are asked to CO.
operate with the agency authorities in
maintaining order and restraining and
preventing the Indians from commit
ting further depredations. In urging
this request, Acting Secretary of the
Interior Sims asks that this military
assistance be given for so long a time
as may be deemed necessary.
