- Twenty United States infantry
men, mounted on bicycles, arrived al
St. Louis, Mo-, last Sunday, from Fort
Misoula, Montana, distance of 1900
miles. The expedition was under
command of Lieutenant Moss, of the
25th infantry, and the entire ride was
made in forty days. The men finish.
ed up in good condition. The average
for the trip was about so miles day
"A special to the Atlanta Constitu
ton says: "Mary Guion, a Negro
woman, received notice yesterday from
Washington that she had been appoin
ted posrmistress for Tar Heel, Blader
county, N. C. Mrs. T. B. Robinson, 6
widow, who has been acceptably filling
this position, was turned down for the
Negro woman. The people of Tai
Heel are highly indignant at the hu
initiation to which they are subjected
- The case of DR.. w. L. Ryder, who
was lynched near Waverly Hall, Ga.
recently, is not settled yet. The family
of DR.. Ryder is prominent and inhuen
tial. He leaves several brothers who are
said to to be men of wealth and nerve
These brothers have sworn that the
lynchers shall be brought to justice
Detectives have been at work on the
case ever since the lynching, and the
names of most of the members of the
mob have been ascertained. 1t is moi
improbable that the lynchers will gel
great deal of trouble.
- The fact that the pressure had
been brought to bear on E. B. An
drews, president of Brown university
at Providence, r. l., to resign on ac'
count of his free silver views, has
been stated. The Connecticut State
Democratic central committee met a,
Providence last Saturday, and adop.
ted the following: "Resolved, That
in case the resignation of President E.
Benjamin Andrews is accepted by the
corporation of Brown university, in
the opinion of this committee he
should, prior to the election next April,
be selected by the Democratic party Of
this state as the candidate for United
States senator"
- Assistant Secretary Vanderlip, on
Friday, authorized the director of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
to print and deliver to the Office of the
secretary of the United States treas
ury, notes and silver certificates to the
amount Of $104 100000. A large pro-
portion of those notes will be in small
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, twos, fves and
tens-and the supply is expected to be
sufficient for the needs of the treasury
for period of about three months,
meeting the usual large demand for
small bills required in the movement
of crops. The department anticipates,
in view of the abundant crops, an un-
usually large and early call for small
bills.
- Eugene Y. DeLs is in West Virgi-
MIA making speeches to the coal miners
with a view to getting them to join
the big strike. Among other things,
he has said: Every time you strike a
pick into the coal, a man in the COM
pany's Office strikes a pick into your
wages" Then again he is arguing
that while West Virginia miners are
getting bonanza prices, the miners Of
Ohio and Pennsylvania are unable to
live. If the West Virginia people
strike, Debs argues the others will be
able to make living. Though the
West Virginia miners have everything
to gain and nothing to lose by remain
ing at work, many of them have agreed
to strike.
- The London Times, of Sunday, in
a sensational article, predicts war be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, and says another letter upon
the seal fisheries question will follow /;
but that this will fail to elicit pro-
test from Lord Salisbury. A new
source of trouble, according to the
Sunday Times, is probable as result
of the recent gold discoveries upon the
Yukon river and its branches. The
Sunday Times asserts that confidential
communications between Russia and
the United States are being exchanged,
with view to contending that the
Klondyke regions constitute part OF
the territory of Alaska ceded by Russia
to the American government.
- Newspaperdom: The Southern
Illinois Press association has adopted
rule requiring newspapers to omit
the title of CDR" in referring to medi-
cal men, reducing the disciples of
Esculapius to plain "Mr." This step
was taken to discipline the Southern
Medical association for expelling from
its membership two advertising physi-
clans. In Ohio, strained relations
exist between the medical fraternity
and the newspaper men, because OF
the activity of the former in their
efforts to control nominations for the
legislature in both parties, with the
hope of passing a bill prohibiting the
sale of proprietary medicines. The
Ohio editors threaten, in case the doc
tors are successful, to mention the
attending physician in the published
announcement of each death. The
sooner medical men wake to the fact
that their code of ethics has no place
in this age of advertising, the better it
will be for both doctors and newspaper
men.
Chairman Dingley, of the ways
and means committee, takes the fol-
lowing roseate view of the effect OF
his tariff bill, just passed "The tariff
bill. i'm due course of time, will furnish
