WHY, OF course Spain cannot consent
to the demand of the United States for
the surrender of all her most valuable
possessions, the revenue from which
she has pledged as security for loans,
but neither can she resist that demand
By force, for she has not the force at
her command, nor is it at all likely
that she can obtain it from any other
nation. All she can do under existing
circumstances is to submit to any and
everything her "copquering heroes"
NAV do, and to accept with as good
grace as possible the condition in which
it has pleased Providence to place her.

IT GOES without saying that if
the republicans have majority
in the next q. S. House of Rep
resentatives, they will deprive not
only al the democratic mem
bers of that body from North Carolina
of their seats therein, but all those from
Virginia whose seats may be contested,
As they had the audacity to expel three
of the latter from the present House
on the absurd ground OF election frauds,
there is no reason to believe that they
would not remove the last one of them
in the next House on the equally absurd
ground of intimidation of negro voters.

tance events. AS early as March he was
matched to ride against ". G. LIE CoTnpte
OF Baltimore for a twenty mile match race.
The race was to have been held at Ealti-
more on Decoration day. though II was
some days later before the ride came Off
though the time for the race was a little
over ffty-fve minutes. The slowness was
attributed to the fact that during the ride
both of the men sustained several falls ir-
juring them more or less and preventing
the making of better time.
Since his selection to ride against Michael
he has been training harder than ever. His
against the Baltimorean Is now being of
considerable use to him. He was selected
TO ride by the management. and, as Mr..
}. ID. Lasley the president of the Park BIZ
cycle Club, stated to a Star reporter, MO
ran is undoubtedly the best rider in the
city that we could have selected for the
ride" He has been in hard training all of
the past week. harder than ever. and a
strict watch is kept on his actions. This
is hardly necessary, because the rider feels
the responsibility resting upon him and Is
observing faithfully all of the training
rules. Every day when he rides his time IS
taken and decided improvement has been
Noticed. Early in the week he was able to
go ten miles behind a good pace in twenty
minutes, and now he is able to clip q sec
ond and more off of the time. 1t is hoped
that by Wednesday he will be able to cover
the ten miles in eighteen minutes or less.
This is what is expected of him. He Is
showing up excellently in following his
pace, and manages to switch off without
loss of time or any eXertion on his part.
He is the equal of Counselman in this re-
spect, whose excellent changing of pace
in his recent matches excited the admira-
ton of all of the spectators.

LINTON'S CHANGE OF VIEW.
Doesn't Stop Now When Another
Rider Meets With Accident.

| In the Michael-Linton 20-mile match race
| Saturday afternoon at the Manhattan
Beach track, New York city. it was notice
able that Linton continued to ride after
Michael had dismounted because of a
punctured tire. His action is in marked
contrast with a statement made by him
two years ago when i'm this city as a mem
ber of Ed Piummers aggregation of En-
glish riders. Teddy Hale, who won the big
Madison Square Garden siX-day go-as-you-
please race, breaking Albert Shocks rec
ord of 1,6O0 miles and placing the figures
at several laps over 1,910 miles, was one
of the number. Dudley Marks, now Lin
tons trainer, was another, with Chappele,
Hunter and several others. The occasion
was the six-day eight-hour race at Con-
vention Hall, in which Frank Waller, the
flying Dutchman,' and Harry Maddox of
Asbury Park, n. j., John Lawson, the
terrible Swede," and other Americans were
entered. There were a number of falls and
accidents in the race, and the other riders
kept on with their work, much to the dis
gust Of Plummer and Linton. In this con-
nection Linton expressed himself rather
forciby:
Il think that that is a mean way of
ridiog." said he, "and it shows the differ
ence between the American style and the
style on the continent. In England, when
rider meets with an accident, either
through a spill or through the brea king
down of his machine, all of the other rid
ers in the race stop. They either start
over again or commence the race at the
same positions held when the accident oc-
CURED. There is no credit in winning a
race when man gets hurt or is out
through an accident to his wheel, yet this
Kind OF racing seems to be popular in this
country. 1t is q sort Of dirty way of rid
ing"
Yet in the face of these remarks Linton
does now exactly what he claims he would
not do. Michael. on the other hand, has
been known to sit up and ride slowly when
1t was found that his adversary In a
match race had met with an accident. per-
mitttng the man to regain his lost ground,
ana starting again In the positions occu-
pied prior to the mishap.

LOCAL RACING MEN

Perhaps no rider in the District is better
known than w. F. Sims. Though not
exactly a Washngtonian by birth, he has
been identified with this city ever since he
started in cycle racing, until now he re-
CARDS this place practically his home.
For several years his father was the in
structor for the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation, and he later moved to Philadel-
phia. Fred continued to reside here.
Sims started on the track about four or
five years ago. He was an amateur of
some note and regarded as the best in this
locality. During the entire time they raced
against each other as amateurs Schade
only once defeated Sims. When Sims en-
tered the professional ranks Schade be-
came the leading amateur rider of the city,
which position he maintained up to the
time he became pro himself.
Fred Sims has been connected with the
bicycle business for some years and Is an
expert repair man. After his return from
Swarthmore College he accepted a position
with the Pope Manufacturing Company,
and was for some time in charge of the
riding academy at 22d and p streets. He
resigned his position, however, and Went
to Philadelphia, where he began to train
for racing. He worked hard the great
er part of last year and this sea-
son he came out in excellent condition.
His riding this year mas Deen Oh tHe nrSl
class and he has defeated the leading
cracks of the country in open and handicap
events. His ride in this city on June % at
the national circuit races, in the two-mile
handicap, the final of which he won, shows
his ability. At the race meet last Monday
night, in the one-mile handicap, he estab-
lished record that any professional rider
In the country would be proud OF. From
scratch he rode the entire distance. cutting
his own pace and finishing third in the
race, his time being taken by the officials,
who expected that some record would be
broken. The figures on the watch showed
the time to be 1853 As, and an application
for the record has been filed with the chair
man of the racing board. During the week,
while training at the park track, Sims rode
a twelfth of mile. the sprint distance, in
O07 2-5, the best previous time on record
being over 00S.
At his present rate of riding Sims prom
ises to be of the crack riders of the
country. He is about the headiest rider on
the American cycle path, and by good head
work on his part he has been able to win
many a race. 1t is predicted that before
the end of the season his riding will speak
more of his ability than words.
