Four torpedo boat destroyers. which
were about to be fitted with new water,

Officers on leave of absence or unem-
ployed have been notified to hold them
selves in readiness to commission the
reserve ships if required.
The British cabinet has been sum

A PEACEFUL SOLUTION
Hoped for on London Stock Exchange Of
the Question

London, Oct. 23.-yyhile the gravity
of the Fashoda question is fully appre-
ciated there is an underlying feeling
On the Stock Exchange that a peaceful
solution will be found. This is evidence
ed by the recovery in prices, in spite
of the absence of reassuring news. On
the whole process were wonderfully well
maintained last week, holders showing
little disposition to realize.
The steadiness of consols had a gpod
effect, foreigners We're fractionally
lower but Americans exceptionally
firm, prices in many cases closing bet

York values. There was no evidence
of an American demand for gold, New
York, apparently being a lender here.
Money was tight and ia strong de-
mand.

Local Matters.
BIcYcLIsT sImoNs ARRIVES.
Detained in Portland Saturday But Completes
Ride. Sunday Afternoon.

Bicyclist Edward Simons Of Winsted.
Conn. who started out from Hartford,
Conn. to ride to Augusta, Friday
morning, met with hard luck, as he
was overtaken by rain storm that
struck him 10 miles west of Boston
He left Hartford at 7.3O, Friday morn
ing, and intended to arrive in Augusta,
Saturday noon, thereby breaking the
record for that distance in road riding,
but on Saturday, succeeded in getting
only to Portland, having ridden all
night in the rain, Friday night He
arrived in Portland, at S45, Saturday
morning, having made the distance of
2is miles in % hours.
Though he was stopped, Saturday,
he started out from Portland, at 3.15
P. NJ, Sunday. and rode unpaced to
Augusta, in S hours and 40 minutes,
arriving at the Journal office at SIS.
The distance is So miles, and the time
would seem to be exceedingly quick,
considering the mud that he encOun-
tered. He could not tell how far it
was over the route he took from Port
land, as he broke his cyclometer from
a fall about 8 miles south of Gardiner.
Mr.. Simons was in good condition
when he reached Augusta, but his
wheel was mass of mud, showing
what he had passed through. He rode
an S4-gear Eclipse from Hartford to
Boston, where he had it changed to a
74h.
He stopped, last night, at the Cony
house. and will stay in Augusta and
Oakland for week or more, when he
will endeayor to do on his way home,
what he started out to do coming this
way-break the record for the distance.
