i. WILLIAM MCKINLEY. :
THE MEN SELECTED.

1t would have been difficult for the
President to have selected nine men
more favorably known to the American
people, and yet equipped perfectly for
the work they will be called upon to
perform. Lieutenant General Scohfeld
was. General Miles predecessor as Com
manding General of the United States
army, and has held the unlimited con-
lidence of all the Presidents of the
United States since Grant, with regard
to political adherence. His experience
in the Civil War as corps commander
eminently fits him to pass Judgment
upon the operations in the field just
concluded.
General Gordon has had about the
same experience in the Confederate
army as General Schofield on the North
ern side. and in addition he has repre-
sented his State, for the last two terms
in the United States Senate, and retired
in the face of a popular demand for his
reelection.
General Granville NJ. Dodge, is well
known as man of large business inter
ests in New York, but even better among
soldiers, whom he led to success in the
corps, and has never lost his interest in
military affairs since entering civil life.
ID. G. Gilman is one of the best known
educators in the United States, at pres
ent holding the honor post of President
of John Hopkins University in Balti-
more He was selected by President
Cleveland as member of the commits
sion appointed to settle the Venezuela
boundary controversy.
Charles Il. NJ. Anderson, of Nebraska,
was Senator from that State for two
terms, and also served with distinction
in the war as Il division commander.
His affiliation with the veteran element
will give weight to any conclusion he
may reach He is at present in Wash
ington.
Hon. Robert T. Lincoln is so well
known as to need no introduction to the
public, and the same is almost equally
true of Daniel S. Lamont, Secretary Of
War under the second Cleveland ad-
ministration.
DR.. w. w. Keen is a citizen of Phila-
dephia, and enjoys the reputation of
being one of the most scientific and
ablest of physicians of that city. In his
selection the President supplies the
technical talent necessary to ensure
sound inquiry into the conduct of the
medical department of the army.
Colonel James A. Sexton has best
been made known to the American peo-
pie by his election to the post of Com
mander-in-C Chief of the G. a. II.
GORDON DECLINES TO SERVE.

New York, Sept. 10-Jimmy Michael

queror, Major Taylor, the colored rider
in twenty-mile unlimited paced race
on the Manhattan beach bicycle track

Taylor in the best two out of three one
mile paced heats, and he prepared him

chance open for the negro to get the
better of him.
Taylor was clumsy in his picking up
of pace and frequently lost it during the
contest. while MichaePs every move
ment was as perfect as clock work.
No records were equalied during the
race.
In the final mile Taylor rode poorly.
In the last lap Michael was two laps 10

the finish. The official yedrict of the
Judges was that Michael won by lap

OUR CLAIM TO MANILA.
Spain's Disposition to Regard it As
Illegal.

Illegal.
Washington, Sept 10.-It is believed
at the State Department that some of
the data being prepared in Madrid for
the guidance of the Spanish members of
the peace commission in the presenta-
ton of their case, has been enormously
assumed to form the subject of a direct
protest to the Washington Government
through NJ. Cambon, the French AM
bassador. No such communication has
reached either the State Department or
the French Embassy as that described
in the London dispatches as forming the
basis of the protest touching American
occupation of the Philippines.
The determined disposition on the part
of the Spanish authorities to regard as
illegal and unwarranted by international
law the American claim to Manila by
virtue of the surrender which took place
two days after the signature of the
protocol suspending hostilities, has a
motive. The peace commission, which is
charged to deal with the whole Philip
pine question viii probably make very
substantial distinction in disposing of
territories actually conquered and occu-
pied by military forces of the United
States, and those relinquished under the
terms of the protocol. These are all
questions which may promptly come be-
fore the commission. and, therefore, 1t
is assumed that they will not be pre-
sented to the United States Govern
ment in advance of the meeting of the
commission.
