themselves for It was big news that they
bore to the anxious thousands in Athens,
Yesterday the distance was covered by
the victor in two hours and forty-eight
minutes, and it is notable that the run
ner was Greek, and 80 was the second
man and so was the third. Americans and
competitors from other nstions drop
ped out exhausted before those long 80
miles were completed or were "distanc-
edu in the finish The Greek athletes
have made only fair showing against
competitors from other lands In the vairi-
Gus events and the Americans have won
rather more than their proportion of the
trophies. But in this tremendous long
distance run over common road the
Greeks took all the honors.
Our athletes do not have much training
OF kind to fit them for such tremen-
dous contest as 30-mile run. We
guess few athletes anywhere are properly
trained for such contest. Indeed, the
winner of the run seems not to have been
an "athlete" In the usual acceptance of
the term, although he was actually the
greatest of them all, was''peasant LOUIS.
All hail to LOUIS, who won the olive
wreath, and to VAsILAKos and to
BoIoKos, who came in second and third,
respectively.

this s0-mile event was retained from the

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS:
SIR Your correspondent from Fall
River says seven ministers voted for the
admission of women into the General
Conference of the Methodist Church. We
who favor female suffrage would like to
know the names OF those truly noble
men, and hope you will kindly publish
them. BY your editorial n week or more
ago we think you favor our course. Your
correspondent, we judge, does not. He
says in connection with'it these seven
men were not the only ones who favor
women, etc, but those seven alone
showed their colors, and don't You think
SO? BY giving us their names you would
not only oblige me but many more for

THE Republican platform adopted at
the State convention was such good
thing and so emineptly sound and
straightforward on question Of prime
importance, the silver question, that
the bit OF harmless nonsense about
"urging upon the national government
the creation Of an international court OF
arbitration to which shall be referred for
adjudication all differences with nations
consenting thereto which from time to
fine may arise" may be passed with a
smile OF sympathy with fantastic human
dreams.

IN CUBA.
respectively.

General WEyBIR reiterates his 6pip ion
that no reforms are possible of Offering or
making in Cuba until the island is paci-
fed by force OF arms. General wEYLER
fails to recall that the ten years. war for
freedom in Cuba was only ended by offers
of reforms when "pacification" by force
of arms was as far off possibility as at
the frst outbreaking. General wEYIER
fought in that war, and acquired his
title of "Butcher WEYLER, " by reason OF
the kind of measures Of "pscification" he
prosecuted. He ought to be able to recall
its lessons Imprscticable as pacifcation
by force of arms was then, nothing is
more impossible today. The Cuban army
is 50,0 strong. The insurgents have
possession of the entire island with the
exception OF the territory in and about
Havana, and their guerillas break into this
territory and ride through it despite the
troops massed there to keep them out.
Pacification by force of arms today may
be possible but hardly so. On the other
hand 1t is not probable shat any proposi-
tions for reforms will now be received.
The considered rebellion is gone too far
for any proposition to avail except that
of absolute Independence. The Cuban
freemen are not in q position that inn
poses upon them the duty Of .conside ering
compromises or such offers Of reform as
closed the ten years wsr and were subse-
quently rendered null and void by the
Spanish government. When Spain comes
to making terms it is likely to be Spain
that asks for terms rather than Spain that
offers terms. az

REV. GEORGE c. KNAPP, the Ameri-
can missionary under arrest in Turkey, is
Z native OF Armenia, the son Of an tArnsrl-
can missionary, educated in that country,
and always closely identified with,sSiais-
sionary work there. 1t is accordingly not
unlikely that he is strongly, even out
spokenly, in sympathy with the Arme-
MANS.
