To the league the wheelmen of the
United States owe the many liberties
which are now theirs, for it was to it's
members that the various courts of the
country were compelled TO aclxnowl-
edge the vehicular privileges of wheels
and through it have many hundreds
OF miles of roads been built. The pres
ent high character of cycle racing is
also due to the able government of the
league. which stands to-day the great
est athletic governing body IN the
world.
At the February meeting officers will
be elected for the ensuing year and
needed Legislation will be enacted. The
particular item of interest will be the
selection of the president, for which
honor there are now but two avowed
candidates, Isaac B. Potter, of New
York, and Sterling Elliott, the present
ihcum bent, of Boston. Both have be-
come famous for their work in behalf
Of cycling, and either would be credit
20 any organization. Mr.. Potter is
best known for his endeavors to secure
Improvement in highways and in pro-
noting legislation Of vital Importance
TO wheelmen. He was instrumental in
securing the passage of the Liberty
Dill" by which the parks of New York
were thrown open to wheels. and was
the leader In getting favorable action
On the armstrong baggage BILL"
which compelled railroads of New
York state to carry bicycles as bag
gage. As writer On the subject of
good roads" he is known TO every mag
azine reader. He is now in his third
term as chief consul of the New Yorl,
division, which has increased its mem
bership from 5000 to over q. 700 under
his guidance.
Mr.. Elliott is one of the veterans Of
the league. and his record in the organ
ization shows he has been the author
or many valuable suggestions. He is
an inventor of no mean ability and is
interested in several manufacturing in
uustrleS. His term OF Office as prssi-
Gent has seen n remarkable growth in
membership and hi. executive ability is
unquesuoned. He is the publisher OF
me oiacial organ OF the league, paper
Sparkling with his individuality.
IN the coming contest Mr.. Potter is
warmly supported BY the members OF
his Own and adjacent divisions. and me
same is true Of Mr.. Elliott. Both sides
are working actively TO secure the
greatest honor within the gift of the
wheelmen.

ghanies wished our government
to seize the whole of Louisiana.
In 1900 Louisiana was coded back
to France. In 1903 two commits
sioners were sent to France by
President Jefferson, with instruc-
tons to buy, if possible, part of
Louisiana, including New Orleans
and the mouths Of the Missis-
sippi. But Napoleon, who then
ruled France, fearing that England
would seize the territory, took a
sudden resolution to sell all of
Louisiana to the United States.
For this the United States paid
S15,OOO,OOO. By this purchase the
country acquired great deal
more territory than all she had
before possessed, and there was
opened to to her the prospect OF
becoming one of the greatest on
earth.

Some Russian travellers in
Thibet describe the wonderful
storms of dust that occur in Kash-
garia near the foot of the Kuen
Lun mountains. The dust in the
air is sometimes so dense that
complete darkness prevails. o.
casionally rain falls during such
storm, but the rain-drops evap-
crate during their descent, and
the dust carried with them falls
in Jumps. Entire forests Of pop
lar trees are buried in dust hill
locks forty feet high. These de-
posts of dust are afterward moved
on by the wind, but the trees that
have been buried die, even after
their disinterment.
1t does not always follow In
cases of malarial infection, accord
ing to Prof. LOOMS, that the pa
tient should have distinct inter-
mittent paroxysms. It is quite
sufficient that he reside for a long
time in malarial district where
he is constantly exposed to the
poison. The paroxysms will ap-
pear when he removes to a place
free from malarial emanations. AS
long as he remains in the mala-
rial region, quinine or arsenic
will have little or no effect except |
in a harmful way. But on re-
moval from it, quinine will exert
its controlling power over the dis
ease.

HANNA WANTS A CAUCUS
He Believes This Move Will Develop the
Enemy.
His Opponents Now Claim to Have
Eight Votes Pledged-DecfsfOn
as to a Majority.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, November 2O-The
Hanna republicans have decided to hold a
caucus before the organization of the gen.
eral assembly this winter. This decision
was reached this morning at Mr.. Hanna s
office and Senator Hanna himself has ap-
proved of the holding of preliminary con-
ference. Its object is to smoke the For
akerites out before it is time to ballot for a
senator.
Those republicans who are not in favor
of Senator Hanna's candidacy will prob
ably not attend the caucus. That is the
understanding now. They will claim that
the decision reached is in no way binding
upon them and that they are free to vote
as they please. Moreover, it will be said
by them that the caucus removes any claim
the Toledo convention may have had upon
them. Thus left to exercise their choice,
they may say they are free to vote for
some other candidate.
Senator Hanra's friends are still actively
following the movers of the Foraker fol-
lowing and they are not losing a single op-
portunity to set the doubtful legislators to
pledge themselves for the senator but SO
Tar their efforts have been unavailing. The
ant1S Low claim to have eight votes pledged
against Mr.. Hanna, with a chance of sew
eral others.
Harry Mason of this city is still non
ccmmittal and declares he has not heard
from any of the leaders of the Foraker
faction. His actions up till the present
have been artasonistic tc Hanna, however
and even the most sanguine of Hanna's
frieI DIS are beginning to believe that he will
vote with the Forakerites when the time
fer bailoting comes.
The secretary of state has decided that
constitutional majority in the vote for
United States senator is not necessarily a
majority of all persons elected to the gem
eral assembly, but only a majority of all

CONSTANTINOPLE. November 2O-The
officials Of the Russian embassy sent a
second note yesterday to the Turkish min
lister pointing out that in times of difficulty
Russia abstained from urging the pay
ment of the war debt due her by Turkey
but now that the government of Turkey has
decided upon fresh arfhaments, which are
not warranted by the present situation,
Russia demands portion of the arrears
ON the same grounds that Austria urged the
payment of the claims due to the Oriental
railroad, an Austrian corporation, for trans
porting Turkish troops during the recent
war with Greece.
In consequence of this communication the
porte has informed the Russian charge
d'affaires that nothing has been decided
upon concerning the Russian armaments
at the same time bestowing upon that Of

1t is believed the Turkish government
will now drop its plan for the reorganiza-
ton of the navy, although the officials of
the German embassy have been instructed
to support the offers of;the German firms to
reconstruct the fleet and supply the Turk
ish government with the necessary arms
ammunition and uniforms.
