BICYCLE TRACK OFFICERS.
The Lease Closed for the CentraI-
Avenue Ground.

The first annual meeting of the board of
directors of the Indianapolis Cycle Track
Company was held last night in the office
of the Indianapolis Chain and Stamping
Company. The organization of the board
was effected by the election of the follow
ing officers:
Presidential c. Newly.
Vice President-H r. Hearsey.
Secretary-H. w. Foltz
Treasurer-C. e. Test.
Considerable time was spent in hearing
the report of Messrs. Newly and Foltz re-
garding their recent trip TO Detroit ana
Cincinnati. These gentlemen are both men
of experience in cycling affairs and racing
and they were sent to examine the Detroit
four-lap board track and the Chester Park
track the latter at Cincinnati. The result
OF their report was a decision to build a
quarter-mile board track. Messrs Newly
and Foltz claim to have made some discov-
cries in track building that will enable the
company to build track which will be the
fastest in the country. What the discover
les are they will not reveal, for a disclosure
of the secrets would enable other track
owners to incorporate the ideas in other
tracks. They hope to keep the ideas secret
until after the big nation al meet.
Mr.. FoltZ was authorized TO prepare the
specifications for tho c obstruction of track,
gr1ndstands, training quarters, etc. and TO
incorporate i'm them a provision that union
labor must be used In all work 1t is ex-
pected that the specifications will be ready
in Time that bids may be opened tho latter
part of next week Work on the track will
probably be commenced before May l. The
company has already closed with the own
of the land on Central avenue, immedi-
ately north OF the BUSINESS Mems Driving
Park ia tract embracing fourteen acres),
and has taken a lease for five years, with
the privilege of extending the lease for two
periods of three years each The Citizens
Street Railroad has agreed to make provi-
sion for carrying large crowds to and from
the place.

Rates and arrangements on account of
the Omaha exposition were completed to-
day by the Western Passenger Association
lines. The rates are more liberal than those
made for the Chicago exposition. Summer
tourist tickets will be sold at 50 per cent. of
double locals to Omaha from all sections of
the country, with final return limit to Nov.
Is. From all association points cast of
Colorado rate of one fare and a third for
the round trip will be made from June / I'M
til Oct. 3, with a thirty-day return limit;
provided, however. that in no case the rate
from the following points TO Omaha shall
be less than $50 from Chicago, $17 from
Peoria, $17 from st. Louis, $25 from Colorado
common points, and $15.75 from st. Paul
and Minneapolis. For the opening cere-
monies rate of l cent a mile will be made
from all points within 80 miles of Omaha
From points beyond the 150-mile limit the
rate will be one fare for the round trip All
tickets of every character through Omaha,
in either direction, will be made good for
stop-over at Omaha not to exceed five days.
The minimum rate for any round-trip ticket
is to be 80 cents.
They disposed chiefly of matters of rou-
tine. Some discussion was had on the inter-
changeable mileage ticket problem as pre-
scented by the attitude of the Michigan
roads, but no action was taken, there being,
in fact, none that could be taken, as the
roads all remain in the same position they
assumed at the outset of the dispute. The
Michigan roads will continue to handle their
own mileage tickets, and the other lines of
the association will handle those of the as
sociation.
To-day the freight officials of the Western
Trunk-line Committee will meet in Chicago
TO consider the question of rates on meat
from Western points to Chicago. 1t is ex-
pected there will be material advance in
the rates.
The Western roads are determined that
the fight on the differential question shall
be settled for once and all before the pres
ent fight with the Canadian Pacific is settled.
Their action Wednesday in deciding not to
grant any concessions on the differentials
yesterday, and all the roads declare that
they will stick TO their position rigidly.
They say that the differential question has
and they are now bound to get rid of it for
good.

MILITARY COLLEGES.
Furnished Many Officers For the War
With Spain

Washington, Dec. 9.-The annual re-
port of the inspector general of the
army, made public tonight, is some
what unique, the eXigencies of the war
having scattered the officers of the bu-
reau from their regular duties to the
command of troops in the field, and re-
duced the number of inspections con-
siderably.
One OF the interesting features of the
report is that on military colleges. Fiji
teen thousand students are being annu-
ally trained in practical and theoret-
ical military service in private and
public schools and colleges. The presi-
dents of forty-siX of these colleges,
whose military departments numbered
100 students, reported that twenty
nine of their regular students and fifty
nine alumni had been commissioned in
the regular army, and 157 students and
296 alumni in the volunteer army, a to-
tai Of Sal officers, or enough for about
twelve regiments. Further, 1854 stu
dents and eX-students joined the army
as on-ccmmissioned officers or pri-
Yates Accepting these statistics as a
fair average, it would appear, says the
report, that the regular and volunteer
armies secured from the students an
nually instructed by regular army Off
GERS at the various colleges enough Off
GERS for twenty-four regiments. In
conclusion, on this subject, the inspec-
tor general says that some substantial
recognition should be accorded the stu
dents who spend a large part of their
school life in military study, and he
recommends the selection of some of
/ the best of these students for appoint
ment annually in the army. Such a
policy, he says, would benefit both the
students, the colleges and the govern
| ment
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-12-10

the future of the Philippine islands, and
he said:
THE United States has inaugurated
a policy which will bring it much
trouble and many responsibilities. The
Americans are not prepared for the
work they are about to undertake.
Your democratic system must inaugu-
rate an imperialistic and bureaucratic
system, and you musr increase your
army and navy, with the result that
there will be constant friction between
yourselves and the European powers. :
The Americans preserve secrecy re-
garding the terms of the treaty. This
is partly through the influence of the
three senators on the body, who rep
resent that it would be discourtesy to
the senate to publish the terms before
the treaty is presented to that body by
the president.
The protocol of the treaty will almost
reach the dimensions of volume, as it
will contain every written statement
presented on both sides during the con-
ferences
In spite of the secrecy observed by
the Americans, it is learned that the
treaty, in substance, consists of thir-
teen or fourteen articles. The principal
articles provide for the cession and
evacuation of Cuba, Puerto Rico and
the Phlllpplne ISLANDS, and the political
administrative and financial results
thereof: the requirement by the Unit
ed States of public property, ard the
REIMBURSEMENT of archives The arti-
cles of secondary Importance determine
the status of Spanish subjects residing
in the ceded territories and unfinished
law suits and contracts; guarantees Oh
the same terms TO Spanish shipping and
merchandise as imposed upon American
shipping and merchandise in the Phil
ippine islands for ten years, and, leav-
ing the status of Spanish commerce in
the West Indies to be settled later
An important provision is the guar
antee of religious freedom in the ceded
territory, in the same terms as the
Florida treaty, the Americans having
steadfastly refused to incorporate any
guarantee of the United States deter
mination to favor the property of the
Catholic church, leaving it subject to
the general laws as private property.
Senator Gray, though we'll known tc
be radically opposed to the policy OF
annexation or imperialism will vote
in the senate to ratify the treaty. con-
sidering that his signing that docu-
ment binds him to support it.

REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Stock Market Was Strong, But
Showed Some Irregularity.

New York, Dec. 9.-Bradstreet's
financial review will say tomorrow:
Transactions in both stocks and bonds
this week have been active, and the
market shows a broadening tendency.
Influenced by investment purchasing,
prices in the bond list have advanced,
while dividend-Daying stocks, or those
which are expected to take that posi-
ton, are also being absorbed to some
extent by permanent holders. Public
and foreign participation on the bull
side renders the market. as a whole.
less susceptible to professional manipu-
lation, but, in spite of its generally
strong tone, the movement of prices
during the week leaves the impression
of irregularity. The securities which
ordinarily lead the market are less
prominent, and most of the features
were supplied by specialties and stocks
which have held a subordinate posi-
ton. The speculative undertone has
| been very strong, however, and any
slight deDresSionS seem to develop re-
newed buying power. London shows
increasing favor for American stocks,
and it's purchasing has been sufficiently
steady to give material aid to the bull
side. The ease Of the money market
here facilitates buying by the public,
although the fact that stocks are be-
ing carried to an unusual extent on
call loans does not escape attention 1t
may be added that the activity and
advances in so many low-Driced and
hitherto inactive stocks increases the
proportion of such securities carried on
! margin or in loans, but as yet no dan
ger is apparently aDprehended from
that source. The market at large is
impressed only with the favorable for
eign trade situation, the encouraging
business outlook, the abundance of cap
! ital seeking investment, and the excel
! lent earnings which railroads are gen
orally reporting. Actual and possible
dividend payments by railroad and in
dustrial companies also play part in
sustaining the decidedly bullish feeling
of the market, and the more prominent
operators are generally active on hat
side OF the account. OF, if they take
profits in one part Of rha list, DO &C
to transfer their attention to o.her
stocks.
The meeting Of congress seemed to
produce little effect, the prevalent idea
| being that it's time would be taken up
with war and colonial Questions. min
imizing the possibility of measures be-
ing considered which might have an
unfayorable effect on business and
financial sentiment. The presidents
message was favorably received, and
| the expected speedy signing of the
treaty of peace with Spain was Il fac
tor in causing the very strong tone at
the end of the week.
