SECESSION AMONG BIcYcLIsTs.
Manitobans Leave the Canada wheelmcn
and Unite with MinneIota and the Da-
kotas.

Montreal, Que, Feb. "a sensation
was caused in cycling circles by the
publication of a telegram from Winni-
peg, Man. In the annual meeting of the
Manitoba C. w. A. district, the repre-
sentatives from the outside clubs sided
with the three city clubs and We're OF
the opinion the time had come for Man
itoba and the territories to secede from
the Canadian Wheelmen and form an
association with the assistance of the
states of Minnesota and the Dakotas.
The Winnipeg bicycle club has the
largest membership by forty of any In
Canada and is strong financially. 1t is
taking the initiative.
II was generally believed that what
ever grievances the Manitoba wheel
men had, they had been amicably set
tied long ago, and 1t was even UNDER
stood that Winnipeg was very anxious
to have the next national meet on
Dominion Day held there One Of the
peculiar features of the case is that
last night while the Winnipeg cyclists
were arranging to cut loose. young
newspaperinan who came from Winni-
peg a short time ago and was candi-
date for the vice president, was making
a long and eloquent speech at the
meeting of the Montreal district on be-
half OF Winnipeg as the city where the
next meet should be held What trou-
bles the heads of the Canadian Wheel
mems association most is the fear that
British Columbia cyclists and those OF
Victoria and Vancouver will break
away also. The latter have been re-
belling for some time and, their COM
plants and threats to join the Califor-
mia Wheelmen became so serious that
Geo. Orr, the president of the C. w. A.,
had to go there to pacify them.
1t Is feared the Manitoba action Will
cause a general break up. Considera-
bile speculation is INDUCED in as TO how
the matter will affect the L. A. w.

Savannah, Ga, Dec. l2-Colonel W. j.
Bryan, colonel Of the Third Nebrasl,a regi.
ment, has either forwarded his resignation
to Washington or Is about to do 80. OF

called on General Lee, commander of the
Seventh corps, of which Colonel Bryan's
regiment is part, and is understood to

the service. General Lee is to sail for
Cuba on the transport Panama tomorrow,
and Colonel Bryan is believed to have
FASTENED his decision in order that he may
acquaint his corps commander with his
intention prior to Lees departure for the
island. Neither of the commanding gen
erals would discuss the matter and re-
ferred to Colonel Bryan as the proper
source to get any news.
Colonel Bryan would neither deny nor
confirm the rumor, but stated that when
the time came he would prepare writ
ten statement and give it to the press
so that there would be no possibility Of
any misstatement as to his intention.
