Mr.. Towne will afford the people of Ed

!. Hunting for gold in the Klondike is
one way to acquire riches, but hunting
in the woods in the town of Albion for
bicycles is liable to DE another way on
the road to great wealth. Buried in the
middle of large brush pile in a piece
of woods, Edward Crandali, of Albion,
found a bicycle few days ago, and it is
said that since then the woods are full of
bicycle hunters. Just when, why and
how that bicycle came to be under the
pile OF brush is mystery unsolved up
to date. 1t cannot be said of it that it
was buried treasure. for in cold cash it
would not bring more than five dollar
note. Perhaps it was placed there for
cold storage during the winter until it's

New York. July 5.-In tomorrow's is

articles upon the foreign relations of the
United States and expansion. Senator
John 7. Morgan of Alabama writes:
CHOSE who lament and docry the con-
duet of our government in dealing with

constitution are too late to accomplish
much else than echo the appeals o, Agui-

Congressman Hit, chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, writes: There

Ex Senator George Edmunds. arguing
against expansion, demands that the gov

what took place before the capture of
Manila and what promises were made the
Fllipinos. He asks II Spain had anything
but a pretended" sovereignty to cede
and demands the reason for the sudden
turning Of Filipino friendship into hos

the whole truth OF what has happened
