morrow will say:
The more favorable features of the
business week include sales of 300, 900
tons of steel rails on the collapse of the

of 100000 pieces from accumulated
stocks, and the starting up of a number
of important metal and other industrial
establishments throughout the east and

The recent reduction in the price of

CLEVELANDS' FAREWELL.

Washington, Feb. 12.-President and
Mrs. Cleveland gave their annual recep-
ton to the army and navy and marine
corps at the White house last night 1t
the final state reception of the Off
ciai term of Mr.. Cleveland. and, with the
exception of that given by Mrs Cleveland
to the public last Saturday, the crowc
was the largest of the season and proba-
bly, equal to that seen during the incum-
bency of any president
The occasion was a most brilliant one,
the insignia of the members of the diplo-
matte corps. who turned out in large
numbers and the shining epaulets and
uniforms of the army and navy officers
forming a glittering contrast to the mag
nificent toilets of the ladies. The marine
band under Prof. Fanchuelli, furnished
the music for the occasion.

a Letter From Congresgman Botkin.


Winfield. Kan, Feb. II, '97.
Dear Sir:-In your issue of February 9,
I find the following: Jerry Botkin, the
ngressman-at-large is very poor. He
will go in congressman on March 4,
but at present he is having a hard time
making a go of it. He lectures almost
nightly, preferring to get a little money
that way instead of hquidating his fu-
ture salary many congreSsnen-e ELECT
do. The first four lines of the above are
true. The last four are true except that
have delivered but one address since the
election and have no specific dates for
the future. Whatever work / may do in
Kansas in the future on the line of po-
litical addresses will be as a gratuity.
Yours truly, J. D. BOTKIN.

THE CYCLING SQUAD

Unless all indications go wrong before the
eEd of the present month the police bicycle
squad will be uniformed with a distinct
costume A good deal of pressure has been
brought to bear this subject, and Com
missioner Wight Is expected to issue an
order in few days. A lumber of reasons
have been advanced tending to support the
theory of uniforming the squad, all of
" hich have been regarded as good. Just
what costume will be worn is hard to say,
and this is one of the matters to be con-
sidered. In general appearance. however.
the uniform will most likely be similar to
that worn by the patrolmen.
One Of the main steps which has infiu-
enced this decision is the large number of
complaints which have been received at
headquarters relative to the matter. The
complaints did not come from one particu-
lar class, but from sections all over the
city and from people in all walks Of lif i.
With the members of the squad in a dis
tinctive uniform this Objectionable feature
would be eliminated.
1t is also rumored that some change in
the cycling squad is apt to be made, and
that some of the men will be returned to
patrol duty and others placed on the squad
In fact, it has been stated that the whole
squad will be returned to the ranks, but
this is not authoritative. Major Moore
when spoken to in regard to the matter
did not commit himself but from other
sources in the office it was understood that
a change of some sort would be made.
A partial report of the workings of the
squad for some of the year has been made
1t is not the regular annual report, which
will not be due until the fore part of next
month. The report is all in figures, and
shows that the total number of arrests
was /. 331. of which number 1918 were for
fast riding. One hundred were for riding
without light, rs for riding without a
bell, 10 for fast driving of horses, q for
vagrancy, for assaulting officer, for
ARRAYS, for violating the police regula-
tons, for profanity. for disorderly con-
duct, and one each for adultery. suspicion
and indecent exposure. Out of this num-
Der of arrests there were collected in fines
s4,2SS. Policeman Estes, who is attached
to the sixth precinct. leads the list for in
dividual records. with 400 arrests accrcd-
tied to him. The other members of the
squad are Policeman Robertson Of the
fourth precinct, Policeman Duval of the
second precinct and Policeman Dodge of
the first precinct.

trains from the west are switched off on
the road to Baltimore, and the signal op-
orator is constantly on the go, receiving
and dispatching trains at this junction.
Starting about o'clock the next morning
on the last day the road is taken at Wash
ington Junction for the next town on the
return trip, Dickerson, eight miles below
Point of Rocks. The road Is in fairly
good condition, being slightly billy and in a
humber Of places sandy.
AT Dickerson the Sugar Loaf mountain
can be plainly seen, and the ride from here
to GAINESVILLE is a pleasant and cool one.
At GAINESVILLE the road crosses the rail-
road track once more, this time on the
right-hand side, and for seven miles, till
road Is in good condition, with the excep-
ton of a few hills. From Jacksonville the
road is followed straight ahead for two
and a half miles to Jamestown, a small
village directly on the road. Passing
through this place the road to Rockville Is
slightly rocky In a number of places and
quite sandy.
The Last Mount.
However, good time can be made on this
road, and soon Rockville is reached. where
a stop is made for dinner, which is served
about noon. AS it is a question of but an
hour or an hour and a halfs ride to Wash
ington a good rest after dinner should be
taken, and the last mount of the wheel for
the return trip to Washington will hardly
be felt. In doing this the rider will feel
fresh and feel like making fast time in
covering the last twenty-one miles of the
journey, which will make 1t about dusk
Monday evening. From Rockville to Nor
beck, which is at the junction of the pike,
or what is called the eth street road. the
road at this time of the year is very sandy
on account of the heavy traffic. The pike.
however. will be found to be in good con-
dition, and the ride from Norbeck to Wash
ington, sixteen and a half miles, is a cool
and delightful one. Some of the distances
of the different towns and villages which
are passed through en- route are as follows:
