war to cause him to forget his prowess
in the weight events. In the swell
games of the Seventh Regiment Ath-

bers of the regiment, Sheldon took a
shy at the figures in the competition

in placing the notches for the 16-pound
weight several points higher, hurting
the weight AZ feet and 10 10 inches. The
former record was made eleven years

Then, too, it is generally conceded
that the course, as laid out last year
for a triangular four-mile race, is not
fair on account of the variance in the
currents, and the many crooks and
turns. Saratoga course is little more
satisfactory and no one would expect
to have Yale and Harvard consent to
go there, when they both objected to
travelling so far as Poughkeepsie.

CYCLE BOARD OF TRADE.
1t Will Hold No Show This Year-Six-
ty-Day Guarantee.

NEW YORK, Aug. ia special meeting
of the directors of the National Board of
Trade of Cycle Manufacturers was held to-
day. c. S. Dikeman presided. The board
decided that there would be no bicycle show
held this year under their auspices. The
stand taken by the board in the matter was
that the trade and manufacturers did not
demand it, and that the enormous expense
incurred was not returned. The board also
decided that the guarantee of sixty days
given the consumer by the manufacturer
would remain the same this year as last.
The question of the annual convention was
discussed, and, though some of the directors
were in favor of it, the majority ruled that
it was too late in the year to begin ar
rangements. 1t was referred however, to a
committee of emergency, with plenary
powers to act on anything pertaining to
tariffs that would in any way iniure Amer
lean cycle manufacturers. Another question
of much Importance to the manufacturers of
this country came up for considerations that
was the protection of industrial trade
marks. The board has communicated with
Washington, and has been advised by Pat
ent Commissioner Greedy that the attention
of the President has been called to the
adaptation of American trademarks by for
eign countries, and some remedy may be as
sured. A bill which has the Endorsement of
all the leading manufacturers in this coun-
try is being prepared and will come before
Congress at its next session.

MAIL SERVICE RESUMED.
Letters May Now BE Sent to Spain
and Her Late Colonies.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-Another evil
dence that war is at an end is the fact that
Postmaster General Emory Smith to-day
suspended his order, issued at the beginning
OF the war, that during hostilities all mail
communication with Spain and her colonies
was to be discontinued. AS a courtesy to
the Spanish prisoners their mail, after be-
ing censored, was permitted to be sent to
Spain via France, but this concession was
not considered a violation of the order. The
action taken to-day is in conformity with
the proclamation of the President ANNOUNCE
ing the suspension of hostilities According
to the terms of this last order. letters and
other mailable matter addressed to persons
connected with the United States forces at
the Philippine islands, Cuba and Porto Rico
shall continue to be subject to United States
domestic postage rates. All other mail adj
dressed to these places shall be subject to
the postage rates heretofore announced, viz
First-class matter, cents per half ounce:
postal cards. single cents, double cents;
second and third-class matter, ! cent for
each two ounces; fourth-class matter l
cent for each ounce; registration fee, s

One Beneath Old Glory.

Don't you hear the tramp of soldiers?
Don't you hear the bugles play?
Don't you see the muskets flashing
In the sunlight far away?
Don't you feel the ground all trembling
Meath the tread of many feet?
They are coming, tens of thousands.
To the army and the fleet.
They are Yankees they are Johnnes.
They re for North and South no more:
They are one. and glad to follow
When Old Glory goes before.
From Atlantic to Pacific
From the Pine Tree to Lone Star.
They are gathring round Old Glory,
And they're marching to the war
Don't you see the harbors guarded
BY those bristling dogs of war?
Don't you hear them growing. barking
At the feet beyond the bar?
Don't you hear the Jack Tars cheering.
Brave as sailor lads can be?
Don't you see the water boiling
Where the squadron put 10 sea?
They are Yankees. they are Johnnies,
THEY'RE for North and South no more:
They are one. and glad to follow
When Old Glory goes before.
From Atlantic to Pacific,
From the Pine Tree to Lone Star.
They have gathered round Old Glory
And they're sailing to the war.
Don't you hear the horses prancing?
Don't you hear the sabres clash?
Don't you hear the cannons roaring?
Don't you hear the muskets crash?
Don't you smell the smoke of battle?
Oh. you II wish that you had gone.
When you hear the shouts and cheering
For the boys who whipped the Don.
ThereIl be Yankees. there'li be Johnnies.
There'll be North and South no more.
When the boys come marching homeward
With Old Glory borne before
From Atlantic to Pacific
From IN
They'll be one beneath Old Glory
After coming from the war.

troops, some of whom desire to be moved
to different stations. He says the Georgia
boys do not want to be mustered out and
prefer to go TO Cuba. Senator Bacon does
not believe in the retention of the Philip
pines, but says the United States ought to
hold a good sized resting place" not only
a coaling station, but enough territory to
meet all needs in the future. He does not
think the United States ought to assume
the management of a vast population which
it will be difficult to govern and to acquire
islands which it would be impossible to de-
fend. Senator Bacon says that in Cuba and
Porto Rico we have problems enough now,
but thinks they will work out in salts
factory manner. He says 1t is unfortunate
that the Cubans come under our direct
view at the worst possible time for them
Eighteen months ago he thinks they would
have made a much better appearance, for
since that time they have undergone great
hardships and been unable to procure
either food or clothing, hence the condi-
ton in which they were found by our troops
at Santiago. Senator Bacon believes that
when the insurgents fully understand the
purpose and benefcent effects of United
States Intervention all difficulties will be
adjusted.

DROWNED In A TORRENT.
Six Children Swept Away by a Sud-

and Nell Suals The water In the run be-
gan to rise this morning, and at 9 o'clock
a great torrent came down. The drowned
children, together with some older persons
were standing on porch of brick tene-
ment house on Violet alley at the foot of
Main street, near West Carson. This porch
overhung the run. When the great wave
came down the porch was carried away and
the people went with it. Mrs. John LOTUS
mother of two of the children, and
woman made a heroic effort to save her
children, but to no purpose. Near the
mouth of the river the sand dredge Pitts
burg was moored, and when the men n.f it
saw the wreckage coming down the streAm
and the people struggling for life they went
to the rescue The men and the woman
were carried out into the Ohio river but
were saved by the sand diggers. The
woman had excited the admiration of all
who saw the accident by her efforts. She
was almost overwhelmed a number of
times, but each time fought off the debris
and came to the surface. The great body
of water did much damage. A sandbar fif-
teen feet high at the foot of the run was
washed away. Parties of men are search
ing for the bodies of the children. There
was heavy and continuous downpour of
rain throughout western Pennsylvania from
midnight until o'clock this morning, and
considerable damage was done by Washouts
and the overlooking of small streams but
as far as known there were no other casual
ties.
Mrs. Lotus, mother of the two Lotus
children, is dying from the effects of the
shock and exposure. The body of Regis
Lotus was recovered this evening.

Why Felipe BuencaminOs Deserted
the Spanish Cause.

Copyright 1885, by the Associated Press)
MANILA, June A.-Felipe Buencaminos is
a Filipino who was friendly to Spain and
joined in the compromise arrangement
whereby the Spanards hoped to conciliate
the rebel leaders without sacrificing too
much He was sent to Agunaldo's camp
by Captain General Augustin with the OBJ
ject of securing Aguinaldo's adherence to
the Spanish cause. He was arrested by
the dictator's orders and held a prisoner.
Three weeks afterward he issued a mani
festO renouncing his allegiance to Spain.
Accompanying the manifesto was a letter
from Buencamnos to Captain General Au-
gustin. setting forth the writer's reason for
going over 10 the insurgents. Much of the
letter refers to events of no special i'm
portance at this distance from the theater
of action. being devoted mainly to a re-
view of the opening of hOstities between
the Spanish and natives and TO telling Gen
eral Augustin that he had come to the Phil
ippines too late to heal the breach created
by his predecessors policy of bad faith and
bribery and advocaton OF the domination
of the friars. After pointing out the hope

ton in Manila, Buencaminos. addressing the
Filipinos, sums up the situation al the time
