posite Hotel Green annex on Vineyard street. The plan of this station is unique, being octagonal in form, and it will be fitted up appropriately and even luxuriously. The Los Angeles terminus of the cycleway will be at the Plaza and midway the distance in the pie turesque hills near Sycamore Grove, POO feet above the river bed will be erected travellers pavilion and cyclists club house, which will be a most attractive feature. Here open-air concerts will be given and a cafe established The pavilion will be a handsome structure, 150 feet in length, wide veranda en- circling 1t. At one end will be the la dies bicycle track, the room being cir cular in shape; adjoining in it a. waiting room, 19x22 feet in size, for the fair sex, then the lobby, kitchen and office, cafe, 19x30 feet, and at the other end a cafe pavilion, 50 feet in diameter.
 Electric lights are to be set every 100 feet the entire distance of the track This will be nine feet wide on the road way with flaring sides, making the width twelve feet at the top of the guard rail. It will be constructed of wood, the floor of boards turned on edge. In the center of the track, which will be of a dull-gray color to be rest full to the eyes, there will be a three inch separator to prevent collisions of cyclists going in opposite ways, which will. however, not be a sufficient barrier to prevent passing from the right to the left track in case of necessity.
 The steepest grade is upon a thou sand-foot stretch, where it runs as high as per cent.
 When 1t Is taken into consideration that Los Angeles alone has 25, 1000 bi- cylists and Pasadena probably 5000 more, the immense patronage this cy- cleway Is sure to receive is easily ap- preciated. The track will accommodate electric vehicles and horseless carriages also. Entrance and exit will be con- trolled by toll-gates, and there will be places where cyclists may enter upon the path. The small toll of cents-10 cents round trip-will be charged for the use of the track and undoubtedly several hundred wheelmen will daily pass between the two cities.
 Great enthusiasm is exhibited over this project by Pasadenans generally. and a revival of interest in cycling is distinctly noticeable in anticipation of the pleasure to be derived from excur- sions over this elevated road, from which magnificent views of the country may be seen in an ideal manner
 Within few weeks Pasadena will have a bicycle parade for which prep arations are already being made and into which every cyclist here is expect ed to enter. The society people, headed by MT. Dobbins. are especially inter

Spokesman-Review from Occur d'Alene, Idaho, says: Oscar and Ammi Joslyn, aged 10 and F years, sons of Musician Joslyn of the Sixteenth Infantry band stationed at Fort Sher- man, were drowned at o'clock to- day while skating on the ice. Two other boys went through the ice with them, but were rescued. Oscar Joslyn was taken out unconscious and removed to the post hospital, where all efforts to resuscitate him proved unsuccessful. The accident occurred near the mouth of the river, and the body of Ammi was carried under the ice by the current before as- sistance reached him. The rapid current of the river has prevented 1t from freeZ- ing over, and parties are searching for the body.

THOSE BLOODY BULLETINS.
They Are Not Properly Supported by
 the Navy Department

The bloody bulletins. They drenched the Cuban coast in the vicinity of Matanzas with gore yesterday and tinged the blue waters at great dis tance from the shore deep red They cut down the Spanish population 100, not ninety-nine or 101, but a con- venient and even 100. They captured Matanzas and fired the American heart in Phoenix with pride notwith- standing Phoenix had congratulated itself that it was cured of the bulletin habit. It was a glorious day in this city. The second stronghold of Cuba had been taken in the short space of eighteen minutes and it was figured that it would require about twenty two minutes to capture Havana, Morro castle and the whole business. Car denas wouldn't last more than ten minutes by the watch. The bulletins had won a noble victory, but the navy department with its characteristic de- lay was unable to support the bull letins. The navy department had not heard of the bombardment at all and with almost reasonable incre- dulity doubted if it had occurred at all. Secretary Long went SO far as
 
 an exchange of shots. That was all.
 A man stopped in front of one of the bulletins and read about the bom- bardment and capture of Matanzas. He got excited and indulged in a hur- Tah. Then he saw the signature of The Examiner" He ejaculated two words which made a passing woman blush
 The San Francisco Call bulletin board seemed to regard the lombard ment of Matanzas as it's own especial property. One of the bulletins was devoted to a description of the preda- tory practices of tn; Chronicle and Examiner, which held their presses until the Call came out and then without the fear of God in their hearts stole and printed the account of the Calls assault on MatanZas.
 Speaking of bulletins, there was one cn Wednesday which was overlooked by The Republican yesterday in the general excitement. It described a vessel, part of whose armament con- sisted of four 3S-revolvers. It did not state whether they were Smith & Wesson, Colt or British Bull Dog. The esteemed Herald, which prints to- days news yesterday, printed that bulletin
 Then Arizonians were overcome with disgust What does a warship want with four 38-revolvers? There isn't a cowman in the territory who would be caught dead with this inof fensive weapon. Tenderfeet carry them and sometimes even pack around 32's. But man who knows anything about guns, prefers a 45, at least a fl. If the United States thinks it is going to bring Spain to terms with 38-caliber revolvers this war will last longer than most people have been counting on.

of keeping his mouth closed. This opened a new dispute and MT. Edwards professed to have proprietary inter est in his mouth. MT. Alexander threatened to declare a blockade of MT. Edwards mouth. MT. Edwards replied that iu couldn't be mada effect i've. MT. Alexander moved across to where MT. Edwards stood and laid his hand gently on his cheek just to show how the blockade could be established by force if necessary.
 At this juncture H. Ohnick arose and declared himself an ally of MT Ed wards. He is a short, stocky person of Japanese descent and muscular capability. He caught MT. Alexander and pushed him violently across the room When MT. Alexander recCvarcd his equilibrium he picked up a chair, but Immediately put it down again He began addressing MT. Ohnick, the court and the audience iEdiscriEi- nately on the laxity of customs which permitted heather to come to this country and shove American citizens around. He walked toward MT. Oh nick with deliberation, talking all the time. When he got within striking distance he hit out with his right and laid the foundation on MT. Ohnick' S forehead for a. protuberance, which afterward became larger than bird egg and smaller than an ostrich egg.
 At this juncture there was an in- tervention by bystanders, and hos tilities were brought to a close. The court as a board of arbitration de idsd that both MT. Alexander and MT. Ohnick had committed contempt, and | levied a war indemnity on each. At noon Mir Alexander and MT. Edwards 1 apologized to each other for the heat i they had injected into the lawsuit. MT. Ohnick regretted the part he had taken in the controversy and MT. AL exander withdrew his remarks caIcu- 1 lated to reflect upon the civilization of the Japanese nation. The trial pro- | ceeded and is still going on. In the testimony there is an interesting doc ument called an agreement It is written in Japanese and has been translated into English. It comprises l fourteen articles and appears to be an unified certificate of corporation by five Japanese for carrying on the gar dening business. One article provides 1 lHdL LueIt Will pe uO ulFIutuu uul.l there is something to be divided. It is provided that if member Of the company leaves it within three years he shall receive nothing, for his time and labor. A member who refuses tc work or becomes a discordant ele- ment or gambles may be expelled from the company by a two-thirds vote. In the event Of the sickness o1 a member the company binds itself to pay the doctor bill.
 Tanaka, the plaintiff, denies that he is a member of the company, and says that he was only an employe at a dollar a day. He's out for the stuff and doesn't care anything about cor
 porate honor and importance.
