reference to his ability for the appoint

Gage is a well-known banker, but is op-

Judge Grosscup had some conversation
on the subject of Mr.. Gage and the treasury
portfolio to-day. 1t was deemed certain
that S. M. Cullom will not be Secretary Of
the Treasury. He was not candidate for

of the Interior.

JOHN F. DE LACY'S WILL.
Judge Coffey Will Consider Motion
for the Revocation OF the
Instrument

An important point in probate practice
was yesterday brought to the attention Of
Judge Coffey by brief filed by Attorney
H E. Hlghton in the estate OF John f. de
Lacy, deceased.
The contention arises over the applica-
ton OF certain heirs at law of the decedent
for revocation of the will whereby 1t is
provided that many relatives are excluded
from any considerable share of the estate,
which is said to be worth between $50, 600
and $4,000 At the time the will was
admitted to probate satisfactory proof was
adduced as TO the genuineness of the sig.
natures of the testator and the witnesses
Mr.. Highton favors the revocation of
the order admitting the will to probate.
Among other things he says:
De Lacy was resident of San Francisco at
the time OF his death, August 8, 1896, on board
the British steamer Gaelic, on the hign seas.

was the steward. The instrument admitted to

LOUGHEAO WILL Ride.
Champion Canadian Cycler to
Appear at the Velodrome
Tu-Morrow.
Downing Has Entered the Competitive
Events and z eg1sr May Ride
an IExhibition.

Chief Consul Kerrigan and the others
who have charge of the League of Amer
lean Wheelmen's benefit cycle meet, to be
held at the Velodrome tomorrow after
noon, have been striving all the week to
add to the already strong list of attrac-
tions to be presented by securing Others.
AS result Fred ]. Loughead, the cham
pion of Canada, and who ranks fifth in the
percentage table of all the racers of Amer
lea, one point ahead of Zegler, has agreed
to ride an exhibition mile; Hardy Down
ing. San Jose's favorite, will compete in
the one-third mile scratch professional
race, and the probabilities are that Otto
Ziepler Jr. himself will ride an exhibi-
tion.
7 C. s. Wells, "Bob'' Terrill, Trainer Dave
Shafer and the others who have been in
San Jose the forepart of this week prepar-
ing for the big meet to be held there to-
day by the Garden City Cyclers, have been
largely instrumental in securing these
men to ride and they have dore good
work, as Loughead, Downing and Zegler
are star attractions. The former only ar
rived here last Saturday. but he has found
the climate agrees with him. and after
few preliminary spins he was able to fol-
low pace at such a rate that his trainer,
Mr.. Shafer, concluded that although not
in the best of form, he would make
creditable showing, and he and Loughead
willingly consented to the request to ride,
as also did Hardy Downing. Ziegler is
not quite SO sure of his condition, and has
been backward about appearing before q
California audience, and particularly in
San Francisco, until he was at his best If
he rides in anything like his proper style
al the San Jose meet to-day he will surely
be seen here tomorrow.
These are splendid additions to what
was already long and attractive pro-
gramme-the best ever presented here, it
is said. The advance sale of seats has
been phenomenally large and big crowd
is expected. The proceeds ali go to the
North California division, League of
American Wheelmen.
There will be two amateur events, in
which the entries are SO numerous that
each has to be divided into six heats, and
two professional events almost as equally
we'll filled. Then there is the Velodrome
shield race between G. E. Dow of Seattle
and D. E. Whitman of Los Angeles, and
as the winner of the shield this time has
the prospect of holding it unmolested
until February % the race can be relied
upon to be hotly contested. These events
would constitute a more than ordinarily
fine programme, and with the addition OF
Loughead, Downing and Zlegler there is
little TO be wished for.
The races are to start promptly at 2
o'clock, as the long programme will take
some time, Reserved seats can be had
after II o'clock to-day at Sherman &
CIay's and after IL o'clock tomorrow at
the track.
The bicycle baggage bill has been re-
ported favorably upon by the Judiciary
Committee of the Legislature ana the
chances for its passage are favorable.

supporting the measure and Charles A.
