TESTIMONY OF A DEMOCRAT.
Evidence as 10 the
Treatment of Uncle Sans
Soldiers.

The testimony given before the war
investigating committee at Washing
ton by Gen. Fighting Joe" Wheeler il
u complete refutation of the charges
made by the yellow journals and dem
ocratic papers that have been manu-
featuring charges for the sake of ere
ating sensations and political ammu-
milton. Coming from rock-ribbed
democrat-and one of the southern
kind that seem to have their democ-
racy bred in the bone at that-comiDg
from the man who was n famous leader
of the confederate cavalry In the civil
war and who CALAMITY led the cavalry
division of the United States troops at
Santiago, and coming from man who
was born and raised fighter and SOL
der, it can scarcely be said by the dem
ocratic press that his testimony Is
"whitewash." His evidence may be
summarized as follows:
"At Santiago-Except In a few Instances
supplies were adequate. On several occa-
sons this was due to the fact that the men
going into action threw away their rations
tthree days supply and did not recover
them. ~
THE wounded were promptly cared for.
only once was there lack Of surgeons,
occasioned by the illness Of the surgeons
themselves.
'"The men slept on the ground instead OF
In tents. because the tents had been LEFT on
the transports SO that no time would be
lost in removing them.
1.-THE amount OF Illness among the troops
was due entirely TO the climate and to nee
cessary exposure In the trenches. And to
the further fact that many OF the volun-
teers did not know how to take care Of
themselves
IAN complaints were promptly remedfed.
THE plan OF campaign could not be i'm
proved upon
''IIe returned In the transport supposed
to be In the worst condition of all and found
II com Portable.
"At Montauk-Camp splendidly located.
Climate first-class. Good hos pitais. Scarci-
ty OF nurses al first, but complete quota
obtained In five days
Supplies. including deiicacies, IN abund-
ance."
There is the testimony of a man who
saw five years service at the front
during the civil war and knows what a
soldier Is, and what soldier requires
for his proper care. In the face Of this
the sensational charges of the yellow
press fall like houses built on the
sands, and when the whole truth il
known the war department will be
praised instead of censured. II was
thus in the civil war and 1t will be thus
in the Spanish-American war.--Iowa

A PLOT DISCOVERED.

Paris, Oct. 15.-It is announced here
that military plot against the gov

ries OF the subject. 1t appears that tie
plot was discovered by general hold
ing an important position. The plot
tiers were to have taken action on Sat
urday. during the absence of the min
lister of war, M. Chanoins. 1t further
appears that when the government was
warned of the plot the ministers were
not surprised, having already obtained
information regarding the conspiracy.
London. Oct. 15.-The situation in
Paris is regarded in well-informcd

"Coin" Harvey Get. a job.

Coin" Harvey, the newly-appointed
manager Of the free and unlimited sill
yer coinagists, says in his first an
nouncement: "My first work will be
the raising of money to carry on the
cause in which we have enlisted.
Where shall we get the money!" He
added: From the people, SUPP ose."
But he knows that the millionaire sill
YER kings trust will supply all the
money that he will need. The mil
lionaire silver kings trust knows that
its members would receive all the BEN
Gifts that would result from free sill
yer coinage, and that free coinage
would increase their profits Mt least
1000 per cent. per day. The people
of the United States have lost more
labor, money and business by the sill
yer kings trust than by all the other
trusts combined, and it is still more
dangerous than all other trusts and
calamities. While Coin" Harvey Is

be doing everything within his power
to vote that trust to death in this
years election.-Iowa State Register.

CYCLING NEWS AND GOSSIP.

That there is considerable interest in
the Moran Wilson match race, as pub
lished in The Times yesterday morning
is clearly evidenced by the talk among
the devotees of the wheel in this city
Such a race is one of the most popular
that could be made, as both riders ara
well known, and both have been riding
for some time. The friends of Wilson
are particularly glad of this opportunity
because ii viii give them an opportunity
Of saying, Il told you So" in the event
their man is victorious. They refer back
q month ago to the ten-mile paced match
race, which was TO have been run against
Michael by Moran, but which was run
with Harry ID. Elkes, the Glens Falls
boy, who was substituted for the Welsh
midget. Moran was defeated, and at the
time there were a good many who were
firmly of the opinion that Wilson or
some other rider should have been sub
stituted for the race. They regard the
coming match race as chance to care
fully determine the relative riding abili-
ties of the two contestants
This belief on The part of Wilson's
friends is hardly jus. to Moran. There
is the biggest difference in the world
between a paced race for a mile or less.
and a paced race for TWO or more miles.
clear illustration Of this fact was ev-
idenced recently in New York city Jim
my Michael rode three one-mile heats
against Major Taylor, the colored wonder.
He only succeeded in winning one heat,
the negro taking the other two In a
twenty-mile paced match race Michael
vanquished his opponent without much
difficulty. This is perhaps the most re-
The evening times., 1898-09-21

cent illustration of the difference be-
tween the distances that has occurred.
However, Moran will be able to show just
what he can do. and the mere fact that
he was defeated by a crack rider like
Harry Elkes is no sure indication that
any local rider can repeat the perform
ance. If he wins, his friends claim it
will clearly demonstrate the fact that
he was the best man for the race above
mentioned.
The other events on the program will be
interesting, and one event in particular
which bids fair to be as much feature
as the match race will be the heat race
for professional riders. This will be an
open event, and all the riders can enter
who may desire. 1t will be more like an
open race than anything else, only the
race will consist of more than one event.
The winner of the race must finish in the
lead in two of the heats before the con-
test ends. That means there is a possi-
bility of being only two heats run to de-
termine the winner, and then again there
is just as big a possibility of one more
heat being run than there are riders in
the race. 1t is hardly likely that less than
three heats will be run, but nothing can
be correctly surmised at this time When
the full list of entrants is published a bet
ter opportunity of judging the number of
heats can be had. This will be the first
race of its kind run in this city this sea-
son, and it will undoubtedly prove as in
teresting an innovation as the Australian
pursuit race or the tandem heat race.
For the am>.aur riders there will be
two events. The usual one-mile novice
will be run off and ii may be that two
heats will be necessary. This race, how
ever, is only open to the riders who have
never won prize on a race track before.
Since the wholesale transfer of the anna
teurs this Spring into the professional
class the lesser lights have been able to
win prize in a race now and then, and
this fact has rendered them ineligible for
a novice race. On this account there ap-
pears to be at present something like a
scarcity in the particular class, but this
will not last for many weeks. The one
mile amateur handicap is perhaps the
only race in which any of the local simon

wabnled when ne oame to possum

Old Uncle Claybrook is a very reli- gious old darky and holds converse with his Maker twenty times day or oftener. His habit is to pray and then turn off into what appears to be a one sided conversation with the Lord, but 1t is evident that there is another party to it as far as he is concerned. To hear him reminds one very much of tele- phone conversation.
 The other day he was going through his customary devotions, and when he got to the point of expressing thankful ness for the many blessings of life he broke off into a recounting of them, says Cicero T. Sutton of the Owens boro Inquirer An den, dars possum, Lord-how'd you ever think of maxim possum? Possum jes' beats all. You jes couldn't beat it ef you tried az in. Possum, he, hel Yes, dar's watahmil- lion. hadn't thought of dat Hits jes' great. You couldn't beat hit neither, could you, Lord? Now, hones', couldn' you jes fix 1t so dey bofe git ripe at oncet? Elf you was to do dat, you mought go out an shet de do'. Dey wouldn't t be no mo sin an no mo sorrow an no mo tribelation. Jes' try hit oncet, Lord, an jes' see whut diffunce hit would make.
 And then "old uncle' began to hum quaint negro camp meeting tune and stopped to look at a piece of liver in a butchers stall as the best substitute for his loved possum or as best suited to the small piece of money which repre- sented bis total movable wealth.
