she coughed necessarily, and could not

CROSS COUNTRY.
Plenty Of Entries for the High School
Event Tomorrow.

The first of a series of three cross
country runs to be held by the Wor-
cester high school will take place Fri
day afternoon at 8 o'clock The idea
Of a cross-country run, which was in
augurated year ago, seems to have
gained a strong foothold among the
pupils of the high school, and also
among some of the local business firms
who have contributed prizes for the
run
The following firms of the city have
contributed prizes: Clark Sawyer
Company, Iver Johnson Company. r.
G. Clapp q Co., Denholm & Mckay

TRIES TUESDAY.
Taylor Begins Record Break
ing Attempts Then.

Willow Grove track, Willow Grove.
Philadelphia, is to be the scene of an
oid-time record breaking camp. Major
Taylor of this city is to be the star of
the camp. The colored man left New
York for the Quaker city Tuesday. ac-
companied by dozen most excellent
pacemakers, and the party is to be adj
ded TO by eight to ten additional men.
faylor will have four quint teams to
pace him. He has given up his ideas
Oh going for the middle distance rec
ords, and will confine his attention to
ne shorter distances the quarter,
third, half, mile and two miles. He
will train for week, and on Tuesday
he starts his record attempts.
Taylor has had some difficulty in Sc
curing the pace, several men having
refused to run the risk of suspension
from the Racing Mems Union, which it
IS their intention to join when the in
door racing starts at Madison square
Garden. Taylor being under suspension
from the union, the men employed by
him figure upon a like penalty. which
many not be enforced, however
The records to be attacked by the
colored man include the quarter mile
record of 20 2-5, made by Johnnie
johnson on the one mile track at Cum
perland park, Nashville. in the fall of
96; the third mile of :27 AS, and the
half mile of IA 1-5. made by the same
rider at the Cumberland track. The
mile of 1872 1-5, made by Edouard Tay-
lore, is also to be attacked, as is also
the two mile mark of 1921, by Tom
Linton. The mile was made August 8
at Willow Grove, and the two mile
September 5, at Manhattan beach.
Should the weather interfere with his
attempts at Willow Grove, Taylor and
his crew will move elsewhere. His pace
makers are, however, certain that the
records viii go at the first trial. and
Lady Callahan of Boston. the clever
steersman, says the mile will certainly
go below 80 at the first attempt.
About the shorter marks, made as
they were made by Johnson on prac-
tically straightaway, the men are not
so certain

IN WALL STREET.
Stock Market Showed q Tendon
cy to Fall Into Quietude.
Average of Prices Materially Lifted as
Result of the Days Trading.

New York, Oct 26-The stock market
showed a tendency to fall into quiet
ude again today as though in sym
pathy with the dullness and uncertain
ty on foreign exchange.
But there was a quiet absorption of
standard stocks all through the list, a
generally firm tone and marked
strength in a few cases, so that the
average of prices is quite materially
lifted as the result of the days trad
ing.
The reactionary tendency in the
wheat market the falling off in the eX-
port demand for both wheat and corn,
and the weakness in the foreign grain
markets were apparently without eff
feet
The reason for the apparently illogi-
cal movements of the past few days is
that the market is entirely in the hands
of professional traders, without any
participation by the outside public.
When this class sell it is simply with
a view to buying at a lower level or
vice versa, and their maneuvers can
only prove successful where they in
duce a following to take the poor end
of the bargain When there is no such
following there is nothing to do but
retrace their course by reselling or re-
buying, as the case may be. The eX-
citing causes of the traders activities
of the last few days having subsidized,
the market became comparatively dull
today, and the traders betook them
selves to the highly speculative indus
trials, tobacco moving feverishly be-
low yesterdays level and sugar above
on large transactions, without any de-
finite reason in either case. The re-
covery in sterling exchange was the
effect of the renewed stringency in the
London market caused by the needs of
tomorrow stock exchange settlement.
Exchange on Paris showed an easier
tone rejecting the pressure for the
movement of funds from that center,
owing to the threatening aspect of dom
este politics there.

MACE WILLIAMS.
He Intends to Take Part in Big Handi-
caps in England.

Mace Williams, the we'll known colored
short distance runner, who spent the
and this vicinity, sailed for England last
Wednesday.
1t is his intention to take part in all the
professional handicaps. Williams is desir-
Gus of running the big Sheffield handicap
to be held on Christmas day. Williams is
conceded to be the fastest professional
sprinter in this country having won the
title of American champion at the big
sweepstake held in Haverhill last Labor
day. A meeting between Williams and
Tom Keane, the former Academy trainer,
English sprinters. will be interesting to
the sporting public of both countries.

the lady's dress behind-especially IL the

pleasing to his patronesses
But il seems that his action in this

not those of the common thief, for he

That Lieutenant Hobson thoroughly
appreciated the deadly danger into
which he and his little crew of heroes
were going when he boarded the Mer-
rimac on her voyage to destruction at
Santiago, and wished, in the event Of
his death, which seemed almost GER
tain, to provide for his aged parents,
is shown from the fact that the Wash
ington agent of a life insurance COM
pany who had written a $4,000 policy
on the life of the young officer, re-
ceived request from Lieutenant Hob
son for a permit to engage in war SER
vice without invalidating the policy,
according to the rules Of the company.
The permit was issued and it has since
developed that the date OF the letter
was exactly the date of the young
heros daring exploit. Had he been
killed his aged father would have re-
ceived $4,000.
Lieutenant Hobson, it is evident, is
no less thoughtful and tender as a
son than he is brave and daring as
a naval hero.

REED AND iiAN All.

Thomas Bracket Reed is not a man
to readily change his convictions or
yield a point easily. Therefore, ne is
not at all likely to change his policy
of opposition to the Hawaiian job,
which the Sugar Trust and the specu-
lators have forced upon the Hannaized
wing of the Republican party. 1t is
evident from the manner in which
Reed put himself upon record that it
is his intention 70 lead the opposition
in his party to this scheme to infect
our national character with the poison
Of imperialism.
Although there is a substantial ma
jority in favor Of carrying out the job
in the Senate, there is no certainty
that annexation will be accomplished
at this session, unless President Nc
Kinley at the behest of the Hanna
Gratis, keys himself up to the point Of
selling the islands, which question
able method it is doubtful if the timid
man III the w UIte f1OuSS Will nave lHS
nerve to adopt
If the Newlands resolution is held
I'D in the Senate it will become an
issue in the fall campaign-an issue
which the Democracy will gladly &C
cept-an issue between Democracy and
imperialism, between peaceful gov
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the people and the policy of
conquest and territorial aggrandize-
ment such as keeps the people of
Europe ground in the dust beneath
the heel of costly militarism.
The people should have a chance at
the coming election to express their
wish with regard to this Hawaiian job,
which is the entering wedge for the
imperial and military policy, by either
defeating or returning to the control
of Congress the party which has &C
cepted and adopted this unAmerican
policy.
1t is best that the issue be thus pre-
scented squarely and it is hoped that
the Serate by acting as a check on
the precipitate haste of the House will
bring the question before the people
for decision.

LET THE SKY FALL
Shreiked Senior Galvez, But it Was
Only Bluff; He Knew it Wouldn't
Fall.

Havana, June 21-Senor Galvez,
{ president of the colonial cabinet has
closed the debates in the chamber with
! a message to the deputies in which he
repeated that he did not wish to see
autonomy established for Cubans Or for
| Spaniards, but for all the inhabitants
of the island of Cuba. Continuing, the
pl resident paid a tribute to the efforts
Of Captain General Blanco and pointed
| out that the public offices had been di-
vlded between Cubans and Spaniards.
| He concluded by saying: Let the sky
fall fiat and sink us in an abyss before
the daring foreign invaders foot tram
pies on Spanish soil" These words
were warmly applauded by the depu
! ties and Others assembled in the hail.
The Cuban congress then approved
the address in reply to the presidents
message and to the message Of the cap
tain general, and the address was de-
! livered to the captain general by the
president OF the colonial cabinet and
! three deputies.
On Friday morning last the United
States battleship Texas, it is announced
endeavored to cover the landing of an
American force at Punta Cabrera, prov
irce Of Santiago de Cuba, but, the Off
cial report adds, the Americans were
repulsed by the Spanish troops under
Col Aldea, with the loss of several men.
! The firing it is further asserted, lasted
half an hour.

| Spanish guerrilla force has been engag-
ed with body of insurgents near the
railroad at Dagame, province of Ha-
vana The insurgents, it appears, eX-
| ploded dynamite bomb and the gueril-
las captured another and similar bomb
before it could be exploded, after which
the insurgents are said to have retired
with losses. The Spaniards had three
men wounded.

I forth that six Spanish sailors recently
surprised an American camp, near Cayo

my firm conviction is that annexation
of distant islands is not in harmony wit
the constitution of the United States. but
is conspicuously repugnant thereto; nor
is it in harmony with the history or even
with any recorded opinions Of our earliest

Islands, if annexed. would prove as bar

AND THERE ARE OTHERS

The communication from Elkins
published in the Register the other
day taking to task the Republican adj
ministration in the State and nation for
filling important army places with sons
of somebodies to the great detriment
of the service, came from prominent
Republican who sees the danger to his
party in this matter and wishes to
warn it, but for obvious reasons desires
his name withheld for the present, al
though prepared to stand by every
thing he stated.
Several of these cases of political
and personal favoritism or nepotism
came under his personal observation,
and they have disguised him with his
party immensely And there are many
other honest and decent Republicans
like him who openly condemn their
party leaders in State and nation for
their work in this direction.
