The Officials Will Be Chosen Within
the Next Few Days.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July 17.-Chairman
Foitz. of the race committee, will make his
appointments for track officials at the national
meet this week. All of the positions will be
given to the men prominent in cycling circles
throughout the country. and non-residents of
Indianapolis
The accommodations committee is now pre-
pairing to publish list of the hotels and
boarding houses with their location and rates
charged.
The National Track association team has
decided to send its crack pacemakers and sew
eral of its crack riders to the national meet.
This will add greatly to the interest of the
races, particularly in the pacing contests
and from that team the two contesting in the
big mid0le-distance event Will probably be
chosen.
Herbert Foltz reported at the last meeting
of the executive committee that the Newly
oval has more than come up to the eXpecta-
ti0ns Of the track company, and he considers
it one Of the fastest bicycle tracks in the
world
The fact that the New England Passenger
association has granted one fare for the round
trip for the national meet is being felt
throughout the New England states, and it
is believed that more wheelmen will attend
the national meet next month from that sec
ton Of the country than visited Philadelphia

days, the steamer st. Paul arrived to-
night from st. MichaePs, bringing men
and treasure from the Klondike. It has
been learned on reliable authority that
the Alaska Commercial company re-
ceived on the st. Paul tonight twelve
boxes of gold, each Weighing $50
pounds. Conservative valuation of SIS
an ounce, this aggregates $3,423, 600
Adding this to the amount brought
down by the miners, which is placed at
over $3,000,O0O the Klondike treasure
carried by the ST. Paul is not less than
$t,O00,000 or $7,000,O00.
The largest amount brought out by a
single prospsctor is in the posses sion of
N. l. Pickett, who has $4,000, principal
ly in gold dust and nu gets.
The returning miners say that it is
IDLE for prospectors to go to the Klon-
dixie now expecting to locate claims,
as all the mining land of any value has
already been staked out.
Among the passengers on the steamer
ST. Paul is Brig. Gen. George M. RAN
