PULLMAN ROAD RACE.
Anderson, Seven-minute Man,
the Winner.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Carl A. Anderson,
a seven-minute man, won the Pullman
road race in 1890. r. w. Merrill and
Charles Torrey, both six-minute men,
were respectively second and third.
Charles LAWN, scratch man, was
first time prize winner, with unofficial
time of 40 minutes and 16 seconds.
Fred Nelson and Orlando Adams,
scratch men, were respectively second
and third time prize winners.
James Levy, the winner of last years
time prize on the Pullman road race, fell
from his wheel on the last turn to-day
breaking his leg.
The event was the second annual road
race of the South Side Cycling Club. The
race was over the Pullman course, dis
tance of about eighteen miles, the start
being made at the corner of Michigan
avenue and Jackson street. The field
was the largest that ever started in a
Western road race, nearly all of the 511
entries responding to the call of the
starter. The conditions were far from
perfect, last nights heavy rain having
softened the roads. The great number
of riders and the narrowness of the
roads west of the park system brought
disaster to many an ambitious rider.
Eight men We're on scratch. Pop"
Smedley, the winner of the Decoration
Day road race, was given handicap of
two minutes and thirty second. The
start was scheduled for $50 a. M, but
the great number of riders made the
race rather unwieldy affair, and it was
after 9 o'clock before the men were sent
away.
At least 5000 people lined the ropes on
the finish stretch, While probably ten
times that number witnessed the race
on the course. Anderson pushed to the
front in the first mile, and kept the lead
to the finish. The winner is Swede, 70
years old

U. p. AND SHORT LINE.
The Two Lines Unable to Reach
an Agreement.

OMAHA, July 5.-General Manager
Edward Dickinson and General Passen-
ger Agent f. L. LomaX of the Union
Pacific have returned from New York
City, where they have been for month
past engaged in the sixth consecutive
conference with the directors and Off
Gals of the Oregon Short Line.
The reason for this conference, which
has been on over fortnight, was the
desire to reach some amicable agree
ment concerning the traffic relations of
the parent system and the offspring
road The result of the latest confer
ence is like unto those of all it's prede-
cessors. The officers of the two belig-
erent lines were utterly unable to reach
an agreement, and the conference came
to an end With the situation unchanged.
General Manager Dickinson said this
morning that no agreement had been
reached. He believed that there would
be another conference, but stated that
that had not yet been arranged for
The result will be that the Union Pa
cific will continue to emphasize its
route to Portland and other Oregon
points via the Southern Pacific in pref
erence to that via the Short Line.

A JAP ROUGHLY HANDLED.
HE STRUCK AN AMERICAN GIRL
AT HONOLULU.
Blue Jackets Punish Him So Sc
riously That Death May
Be the Result.

VANCOUVER B. c., July 5.-Lat-
est mail advices from Honolulu say
that Miss Nellie West, an American
lady. was severely beaten by two Jap
anese marines from the Japanese war
ship Naniwa one evening recently
while trying to assist her brother, who
had been set upon by number OF
men-of- -warsmen of the japanese navy.
She was confined to her bed next morn
ing and unable to appear against her
assailants in the Police Court, where
they We're charged with assault and
battery.
Feeling has run high over the mat
ter A well-known business man
knocked down three Naniwa sailors
on the street the following morning in
consequence, while American bluejack-
cts went head hunting for the ring
leaders Of the japanese navy hoodlums
who made the assault.
One japanese was pointed out to the
American knights errant as being con-
spicuous in the assault The American
bluejackets invited him to call his cow
ardly companions to his aid as they
were going to teach him lesson in
American fair play. He refused. He
was Inen taken IN mana ana severely
beaten. The blood of the American
bluejackets was up in good earnest,
but they went too far
The punished Jap is at the hospital
and his life depends on the result of a
delicate operation.
The assault occurred on Nuuanu
street, in front Of the Lyceum, about
I:30 p. m. Miss West, accompanied by
her brother. Fred, and a lady, while
walking on the sidewalk, found the
passage blocked by two japanese ma
rines, who took no notice of their ap-
proaeh. Miss West stepped between
the men, and her brother rather
roughly hustled one aside.
At that the two set upon West, who
was getting the better of them until
four or five more Jap bluejackets ap-
peared and took a hand. Miss West
tried to assist her brother and was set
upon and beaten by two of the fel-
lows, who left ugly bruises on her face.
Miss Vests assailants were arrested
later and charged with assault and
battery At the request of the Japa-
nese Consul they were released on their
own recognizance.

HAVANA, July 5.-Senors Borelles,
Marandios, Natrones and Diaz, all
wealthy residents of Guanabacoa, were
arrested recently and hurried to jail.
The next night their homes were in
vaded by troops and police and their
wives and daughters were forced to go
with the men, hardly having a chance
to dress. Indeed, two of them, hand
some girls of 16 and IS, were taken
away in their night garments, the
soldiers indulging in the coarsets jests
regarding them and their appearance.
These women have disappeared, and

POPULISTS MEET AT NASHVILLE.
TWO DELEGATES ENGAGE IN A
LIVELY FIGHT.
All About Charges That the Party
Was Being Sold Out to the
Republicans.

NASHVILLE, July 5.-The national
conference of the Peoples party met
here to-day. The conference was called
to order by Milton Parks of Texas, who
said this was conference of men, who
believe in the principles enunciated at
Omaha and st. Louis-in Populism
straight.
j. S. Bradley of Texas was elected
temporary Chairman by acclamation.
He said he wanted to see plain, unmis-
taxable declarations that no one could
misunderstood, and some means of
making them effective. He trusted
there would be no recriminations.
The conference took a recess of thir-
ty minutes and meetings of the State
delegates We're held to select members
of the Committee on Credentials.
When the Committee on Credentials
was announced, a motion was made to
call the roll for the naming of the
Committees on Resolutions and Perma-
nent Organization, but objection was
made that this could not be done un-
til the Committee on Credentials re-
ported.
A motion to adjourn until / o'clock
was then carried
The afternoon session of the Populist
conference was called to order at / 40
o'clock.
The report of the Committee on Gre
dentials showed that 353 delegates were
properly credited and present
The temporary organization was
made permanent.
A Committee on Resolutions, con-
sisting of one member from each State
was appointed.
The grand stand performance of the
afternoon was given by NJ. Lindsey of
Nashville and John H. Mcdowell Of
Union City, Tenn. In a talk on Ten
nessee Populism Mcdowell referred to
Lindsey whose whiskers are very red
as a red-headed sap sucker.
Lindsey in turn said his little speech
and bestowed upon Mcdowell the epi-
thet of a mullet-headed buzzard. who
had sold the Populist party of Tennes-
see to the Republicans every chance he
got
Mcdowell could not stand that, and
he mounted the speakers desk and
raped Lindsey over the head with a
cane. Lindsey struck him, and the
two men clinched. They were separ-
ated, however, before any serious dam
age was done.

TEA FARMING INDUSTRY.
Would Not Pay to Raise in South
Carolina.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Secretarv of
Agriculture Wilson has received a re-
port from a veteran horticulturist
whom he sent recently to investigate
the tea farming industry carried on at
Summeyille, S. c., with a view to as
certaining the prospects of profitab
growth Of the tea plant in this country.
The report says the labor question is
the most important one in the econom-
les of this business in this country. It
estimates the minimum cost to pick one
pound of tea in South Carolina about
eight times as much as that paid for
the same service in Asia. In districts
favored with sufficient heat and rains
plants furnish from fifteen to twenty
pickings yearly. In the South Caro-
lima fields the conservation of moisture
by drainage is enhanced by systematic
surface culture
The report suggests that it seems i'm
practicable to compete with the cheap
Oriental labor, and while some pro-
cesses of development has been left to
machinery, the picking Of leaves re-
quires discrimination in selection. and
has to be done by hand, and the prob
lem has been met by establishing a
small colored school where tea picking
is included.
Seeds have been imported from all
tea regions, especially from high alti-
tudes. A vegetation of one third of the
seeds is a general average, and the loss
of whole importation is no novelty.
With careful pruning, plants here
should maintain their pristine yigo1.
for forty years, but pruning is a costly
manipula ton.
The report urges the development of
knowledge as to tea raising by means
of schools.

Great Britain, and there have been no

1t is understood the Canadian Pre-
mer, Sir Wilfred Laurier, has conferred
with the British Government on the
seal question. The interests of Cana
da are opposed to restrictions being
placed on sealing, and as Great Brit
ain is now cultivating the good will Of
her colonies, this policy may render if
more difficult for the United States to
secure an agreement on the subject.
