| The Man Who Won the Pursuit Race.
reached Charles Simms and Geo. Hines,
They started together. Simms had not
been classed as more than an ordinary
amatuer and Hines as fair rider No
| one anticipated any great change in
| affairs. The riders had not made lap
| however when all thought differently
Simms went at his wheel with ali the
confidence of Casey at the Bat'-but
Simms didn't strike out He hit his
pedals with master stroke and each
stroke seemed to be IA three base hit.
He went rapidly; he sailed with the
wind, indeed he fairly tiew-if birds
like Simms can really tiy--and there
are some who now think they can. To
those who held no watches nor counted
the laps it was matter of but few
seconds till Simms was far i'll advance
of his opponent Another round and
he was coming up behind. His eagle
eye was upon his opponent and he bore
down upon him like the eagle pouncing
upon its prey. \ few more rounds and
he was even with Hines, having gained
a lap. Not content with this he drove
ahead with the seeming determination
to gain another lap and when the relay
ended he was something over third of
mile in the lead.
Daring this relay wonderful trans
formation had taken place in the grand
stand. The Reds were again putting
on the red and the Blues were looking
blue. Keables rescued his red flag from
the rubbish pile and again waved it
deiiantly at the Rlues. Enthusiasm
knew no bounds. Babylon was great
on noise but il would have compared
most unfavorably on this occasion. 1t
seemed that pandemonium had broken
loose aud would not be quieted. The
wonderful Simms did not dismount.
He was taken from his wheel by a score
of willing hands and carried triumph
antly before the grand stand, where he
received the cheers and homage due n
conquering hero. The race was won
and Simms had won it. The remainder
of the race was hard-fought. krsyen-
hofr and Alden finished close together
and Rogers and Ed. Hines were near
each other throughout. The closing
relay was perhaps the hardest race.
sullivan made good start and rode
hard. Barr caught his pace and fol
lowed close behind until the first Of the

= BIG FIRE AT FAHEY's
Residence Burned Down ut Three O'Clock
This Morning.

This morning at PAS the big seven
rom residence o. Thomas Faeny, a. the
corner Of Ida and eK.logg. was burned
to te ground.
Nothing is known of how the fire
started. Mr.. and Mrs. Fahey were
asleep in the downstairs front room,
when a sndden blaze and cracking in the
northeast corner upper story awakened
them.
Mr.. Fahey ran into the yard and gave
the alarm. Rox Herman got on a wheel
and rode to Douglas avenue and turned
in the alarm. The fire department chief
and al. made the run, but there was no
water when they got there.
The neighbors came in and threw the
furniture into the yard. The fire com
pany used the axes and hooks r. lear
down the building, the fences and sheds
to save the next house Of DR.. Cobb's. AL
the furniture was taken from the Cobb
residence and chemicals were used to
prevent the spread of hte fire.
There is no way to account for the
blaze unless the rag room just above the
kitchen caught fire some time early in
the day. There was no fire built up in
the kitchen al supper time.
No insurance. The loss viii. amount
to about 81 900.

MEN JUMP THEIR JOBS
Government Contractors Ask to Have Their
Time Extended.

Washington, July 2s-The navy de-
rartment has felt the evil effects of the
gold craze The firm Of Morgan Bros,
located in Seattle, is building the tor
pedo boat Rowan and had made good
progress until the Alaska exodus set in.
Now they have informed the navy de-
p3rtment tina; so many OF their workmen
have dropped their work 70 go to Alaska
that they are obliged to appeal 10 the
navy department for ar extension Of
time in which TO complete the boat.
The land office is receiving many appli-
cations for copies of the public land laws
by persons who profess their intention Of
going to Alaska. The department has
been obliged to notify the applicants
that the land laws have not yet been ex-
tended TO Alaska, though the mineral
laws apply.
Victoria, 3. c., July 29.-There is a
crowd Of indignant gold seekers in town.
Two hundred OF them came from Seattle
with their outfits 10 take the steamer
Islander for Dyea Arriving here they
found that not a pound of goods would
be allowed to enter the Klondyke distric.
without paying the regular Canadian du-
~. Some OF them decided upon paying
the duty here, but others are going with
the expecta ton of evading the customs
collectors. This is hardly possible and
the customs officials are going up on the
Islander, accompanied 10y force of con-
stables who will assist the mounted po-
lice now there to enforce the laws.
