BIKE RACE A PROCESSION.
Public Showing Very Little Interest
in the Contest.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 2S.-There were more
people on the track this morning than
there were spectators at the seventy-two-
hour bicycle race at the exposition. The
contestants are still keeping up fast pace
but the race has developed into process
sion and there is no enthusiasm.
The attendance tonight was the largest
since Monday. The race will start to-
morrow morning at las, in order to have
the wind up before midnight. If in the
last five minutes of the contest, Waller
and Elkes are still tied for place. the track
will be cleared of all riders (provided their
positions will not be affected thereby, and
the leaders allowed to fight it out alone.
Tonight Eddie Bald rode an exhibition
mile in 2:O5 rs, and Gardiner went ten
miles in 25:44.
Waller will leave for New York as soon
after the race as possible, and go into
training at once for a twenty-four hours
race against time. One of the prominent
wheel companies has offered him 5000, if
he can accomplish the feat of riding $50
miles in twenty-five hours.
The score at 10 o'clock tonight was

Dog Hunting Out OF Season,

There is considerable doubt as to
the law regarding the chasing of rab-
bits out of season by dogs. 1t is the
practice of many owners of rabbit
hounds to allow them to run at large
the year round and to chase rabbits at
will, thereby, no doubt, causing the
death of many young rabbits, which
are caught and eaten by the dogs.
There is no law preventing their run
ming at large, but their owners are
responsible for them, and if rabbit
hound, or any other dog, is caught
killing rabbits his owner is amenable
to the law just the same as though he
himself shot the rabbit out of season.
The same Interpretation of the law
applies to bird dogs. The only remedy
is to watch the dogs and when you
catch one killing a rabbit, soak his
owner to the full extent OF the law.

his command. He took no steps con-
corning his seat in the House, and
will probably take none until it be-
comes apparent whether the war is to
be matter of weeks or months.
Many lawyers contend that the ac-
ceptance of commission by any
Federal official vacates the other
place. There seems to be doubt
about it. At the request of Senator
Sewell, who as major general has
been ordered to command the camp
OF instruction this week established on
the Virginia side of the Potomac,
several miles from Washington. At
torney General Griggs will give an
official opinion on the subject. Major
Generals Fltz Lee and James II. Will
son have been ordered to report at
Chattanooga for active service.
The concurrent resolution offered
by Representative Dockery, of Mo,
providing for a recess of Congress
from June 6, until July 70, which is
now in the hands of the Ways and
Means committee, was not the result
of party conference, but merely Mr..
Dockerys idea of what would be the
proper thing to do. Car Reed hopes
to have Congress adjourned before
the first named date. AS rule demo-
Gratis think it would be unwise to ad-
journ while the war is in progress.
While there is no disposition among
them to have Congress interfere with
the conduct of the war, they think
that Congress ought to have some say
about the terms of peace, and if it
isn't in session it cannot.
With only II negative votes the
House passed the bill providing for
constitutional amendment for the cleo
tion of Senators by the people.

WAR FAILS TO CAUSE TIE EXPECT
ED PANIC.
Iron and Steel Steady With Huch Higher
Prices Recorded For Wheat.

R. G. Dun SS Co.'S weekly review
Of trade says
Hostillties have lasted long enough
to kill many predictions, if but few
Americans. The EuroPcan notion
that the United States would begin
by having a bad half hour, the theo-
rIsts' notion that Everybody knows a
great panic must follow the outbreak
OF war;" the commercial buyers notion
that everybody would be ready to sell
everything cheap if wsr came, the
notion that it would pay to hoard
money until the emergency had pass
ed, have all been made laughable al
ready.
The only panic was when money
lenders were wondering what deadly
impossibilities the unknown might
have IN store for them. The only
hlndrance of industry has been due to
waiting Of buyers who looked for
lower prices.
Nothing disheartening can be seen
in the industrial situation except the
closing of some cotton mills owing to
over production, and the fall of print
cloths to IS7 cents.
The general expectation of expand
ing demand holds prices steady for all
finished products of iron and steel,
and with considerable sales of Besse-
mer pig it is ten cents higher at Pitts.
burg, with other quotations there and
at Chicago and Philadelphia practi-
cally unchanged. Government orders
are heavy, and yet cover but little of
the consumption, though they go far
to cause the over-crowGing of ship
yards and plate mills, but higher
prices for wheat have brought enor
nous demand for agricultural imple-
ments, and also for locomotives and
cars, while very many buildings in
western towns and orders for many
railroad and other bridges, for canal
improvements at Chicago, and for
$4,000 tons steel rails at the east,
make up heavy volume.
Failures for the week have been
24o in the United States against 264
last year, and twenty-four IN Canada
against thirty one last year.

The "crack" regiment of the New
York State National Guards, is, or
was, the Seventh, of New York City.
Their armory cost million dollars !;
their uniforms are of beautiful soft
gray cloth with black trimmings, they
are the very pink of aristocracy, repre-
sentatives of the old Knickerbocker
families who have been wealthy for
$50 years, boys whose great great
grand fathers great uncles made for
tunes buying skunk skins from the
Indians. They are the pets of the
ladies, and when a President is inau-
gurated 1t is worth trip of 500 miles
to see them march down Penn
sylvania avenue. In their ranks are
men OF great talent, and poets of no
mean ability.
When the call for volunteers to
fight for Cuba came the Seventh Regi-
ment to man voted to-stay at
home. However, they will be at the
next Inauguration in new uniforms
and will march beautifully ard at the
ball in the evening the officers will
waltz just too sweet for anything.
Pennsylvania has not regiment that
can make as fine an appearance as
the Seventh, but they are all In line

What the Boys Will Eat.
When Militiamen Become Real Soldiers
They Will Have the Army Ra!ioas.

The question of what they are going
to eat is disturbing the minds of the
militia. 1t is generally supposed that
the annual encampment is a week for
regular army life, and while this is
true of the drills, guard mount, police
duty, and many other features, it is
not altogether true of the daily bill OF
fare, for this is augmented by many
dellcacies which are purchased from
the private purses of the sometime
soldier.
The government ration is the allow
ance OF one person for the day, and
consists of the meats, the bread, the
vegetable, the coffee and sugar, the
seasoning, and the soap and candle
components. When troops travel
otherwise than by marching, or when
for short periods they are separated
from cooking facilities and do not
carry cooked rations, soft or hard
bread, canned beef and canned baked
beans, together with coffee and sugar,
are issued, and after troops have sub,
sisted upon this tor four consecutive
days they are allowed canned to-
matoes at the rate of one pound per
man per day.
The kinds and quantities of articles
comprising the ration for troops where
cooking is practicable and the quanti-
ties computed for one ration are as
follows:
Fresh beef, 20 ounces, or an equal
quantity of fresh mutton, when the
cost does not exceed that of beef; or
pork, Il ounces or bacon, IL ounces;
or salt beef, 22 ounces; or, when meat
cannot be furnished, ID ounces of
dried fish, or IS ounces of fresh or
picked fish.
Flour or soft bread, IS ounces, or
16 ounces Of hard bread, Or 20 ounces
of cornmeal. When troops are in the
field and it is necessary for them to
bake their own bread, 1926 ounces
of baking powder will be issued.
Vegetable components, heans or
peas, 2, rs ounces; or rice or homlny,
I, 3-5 ounces; potatoes, I6 ounces,
or I2, As ounces of potatoes, and the
balance to be made up of3, Is ounces
of onions, making total of I6 ounces.
This can be changed another way by
decreasing the allowance of potatoes
to II Is ounces, supplementing it
with 4 As ounces of canned tomatoes
or other fresh vegetables not canned,
when they can be obtained in the
vicinity of the camp or transported in
wholesome condition from a distance.
The trooper gets 1, 35 ounces OF
green coffee or I7-25 ounces of roast
ed coffee. If he is fond of tea he may
have 8-25 of an ounce instead. Sugar
is allotted at the rate Of 2 3.25 ounces
per day, with 1925 gills of molasses
or can syrup as an alternative. Sea-
soning components consist of 8 rs
gill of vinegar, 16-25 ounces of salt
and I-25 ounce of black pepper.
Cleanliness and light are provided for
by 1925 ounces ofsoap for the former
and Gas ounces of candles for the
latter, when Illuminating oil is not
furnished by the quartermaster.

THE famous "Durrant case" one of
the most remarkable in the history of
crime on the Pacific coast, has finally
ended with the legal execution of the
young man adjudged to have been
guilty of two most atrocious murders,
committed within the walls of FASH
ionable San Francisco church, the vic
Tins being two young ladies active in
the work of the Sunday school of which
Durrant was the assistant superintend-
ent. 1t was early in April, 1895. that
the crimes were committed and the
trial which resulted in the conviction
of Durrant lasted for three months and
attracted almost worldwide attention.
Many thousands of dollars were spent
in the prosecution and defense of the
accused and all the resources of the law
were exhausted in attempts to save him
from the punishment of death to which
he was condemned upon wholly cir
cumstancial evidence. While Durrant
was formally accused of and tried for
only one of the murders it is very gen.
orally believed he was guilty of both
There is painful element of doubt,
however, surrounding the commission
of both crimes which makes it impossi-
BILE, from what seems to us any reason
able point of view, to justify Durrant's
execution. While the web of circum
stances so closely woven around him
by the prosecution made his guilt seem
altogether probable, the element of alb
