THE CONTROL OF BICYCLE RACING


Providence Feb. 9.-The great ques-
ton of the continued control of racing
by the League of American Wheelmen
came very near being settled in short
order and without debate at the meet
ing to-day Only an act of courtesy on
the part of one or two delegates who
are strongly opposed to the giving up
of racing allowed the matter to stand
and gave the advocates of the proposed
amendment to the constitution an op-
portunity to discuss the matter, which
they will do in the morning. There is
not the slightest doubt but that the
league will have charge of the racing
next year, for all the opponents of the
have together is seventy
four votes, and to-days meeting, with
the west solid in favor of racing, shows
that there are nearly ninety votes
against it. Jacksonville was selected as
the place for the next assembly, and
Thomas j. Keenan, of Pittsburg was
elected president.

USE OF WHIP And LASH,
Judge Baldwin Advocates Return to 1t
The Science of PenoIogy.

Hartford, Feb. 9.-Judge Simeon E.
Baldwin of the state supreme court of
errors, in the course of his address to
the Municipal Judges association of
Connecticut, which was formed to-day.
on Corporal Punishment" advocated
a return to the use of the whip and lash
as punishment for minor crimes He
said that in our onward march in civili-
zation and the subdivision of thought
and activities into sciences men have
refined the science of penology too
greatly, and in retaining only hanging
and Imprisonment as punishments for
crimes have caused the deterrent effect
of punishment to lose much force, He
contended that many young men and
boys would have been spared criminal
career and averted from ultimate capi-
tai punishment had the law permitted
the Judges who passed upon their first
offenses to apply the punishment in the
form Of ten or twenty lashes of the
whip. Such punishment, he said, did
not imply a return to the old whipping
post, but might be administered in the
private room of the local Jail or work
house. The association elected as pres
ident Judge James Bishop of New Ha-
ven and as secretary and treasurer
Judge Arthur c. Perkins of Hartford.

GREAT SUFFERING IN NEW YORK.
900 Men, Women and Children Picked
Up on Streets.

New York, Feb. 9-New Workers. ex
perienced the coolest weather in years
to-day. The mercury stood at 16 last
night about midnight and at the Brook
lyn bridge entrance in the early hours
of the morning it was below zero.
The bridge, however, is the coolest spot
in the city. In average places the mer-
curry was at from to 4 degrees below
zero this morning. The temperature
varied but little during the day and it
promises to be record breaker again
tonight. With this low temperature
there was a fierce cutting wind and
there was plenty of snow on the ground.
The bitter cold brought suffering and
death to scores and discomfort to thou
sands. Homeless people and drunk
ards suffered much throughout the
night, the police found people of both
classes freezing to death on the streets
and saved the lives Of many. Two hun
dred and ninety men, women and chill
dren We're gathered in to be cared for.
About the suburbs the cold was very
much severer and stories of destitution
are told in abundance. Fully a score of
people were taken to the various hospi-
tails here, badly frostbitten and many
more than that number were cared for
in the free dispensaries.

Il WARNTNG.


Washington, Feb 9.-Chairman Can
non of the appropriations committee of
the house in the course of a debate on
the sundry civil bill sounded a note of
warning against extravagant appropria-
tons and served notice that neither the
ship subsidy bill nor the Nicaraguan
canal bill could be passed at this ses-
sion. Although he specifically disclaim-
ed speaking for any one but himself, the
statements he made, coming from the
chairman Of the appropriations commit
tee, caused great interest. He made
general statement of the revenues and
expenditure for the past fiscal year in
creasing Secretary Cages estimate of
the deficiency in the revenues from
$112 900, 900 to $1o9, 9,000,0 900, exclusive of the
$40, 100000 to be paid to Spain under the
provisions Of the treaty of Paris. Mr..
Grosvenor of Ohio, Mr.. Hepburn of
Iowa and Mr.. w. A. Smith of Michi-
gan, although they did not enter into
any lengthy discussion, took issue with
Mr.. Cannon, but he maintained that our
revenues might be sufficient to meet our
expenditures for the next two years If
no new lines Of expenditure were entered
upon Mr.. Cannon's speech was in ev-
cry way notable one and will doubt
less furnish the text for good deal of
discussion during the remainder of the
session. The general debate on the SUM-
dry civil bill was not concluded to-
day.

V1LTER LEIGH ENDORSED.
At a Meeting of Dem ocratic Leaders Held
Last siGgat.

A meeting of prominent democrats
from the various wards Of the city was
held last night in the Masonic Temple
to discuss the matter of a candidate
for the nomination for mayor in the
spring city election, which occurs in
April Despite the cold, unpleasant
night about one hundred democratic
eaders and workers attended and the
meeting was a most interesting and en-
thusiastic one. The strength of the va
rious candidates who have thus far been
mentioned was thoroughly discussed
and after carefully going over the situ-
alton the gentlemen present decided
unanimously to support Walter Leigh
for the nomination. 1t was the sense of
the meeting that in view of the large
vote which he poIled in his run for sher-
if LAST fall, Mr.. Leigh would be the
strongest candidate to put forward. 1t
was also announced that Philo S. Ben
nett who was prominently mentioned
as a candidate some time ago, had, in
declining the nomination, on the ground
that he could not spare time from his
business. suggested Walter Leigh as
the strongest and most logical candi-
date. The meeting lasted until nearly
II o'clock.

Thirteen Buildings Destroyed Loss Of
$7OO,OO Hydra n t. Frozen.


New York, Feb. 9.-Fire to-day swept
through the block of buildings opposite
Battery Park bounded by Front, Whites
hall, South and Moore streets, and de-
stroyed thirteen buildings, entailing al
loss of about 100000. One fireman, Ber-
nard Blair, of the fireboat Van Wyck,
who was overcome in one Of the build
ings and who was being brought down
ladder, slipped from the arms Of hiSs
comrade and fell to the ground, frac-
turing his skull. Several other firemen
were overcome by smoke and cold and
a corps of ambulance surgeons was kept
busy attending to the fire fighters. One
hundred and fifty girls employed in the
bagging factory of Messrs. Walter and
Bell on Front street became panic
stricken and a score of them on the
fourth floor were cut off by the smoke.
They were rescued over the roofs OF
other buildings. The fire started in
Walter & Bells factory and before, the
firemen arrived the building was ablaze
from cellar to roof. The thermometer
stood below zero with driving wind
right in from the sea and the flames
spread with incredible rapidity. Hy-
drants We're found frozen and the water
supply was exceedingly small 1t was
not for half an hour that the twenty
engines could get properly to work
pumping the water into the flames.

THE BODY OF GEN. GARCIA.
Arrives at Havana OH Board Gunboat
Nashville Flags ut Half-MRst

Havana, Feb. 9.--The United States
gunboat Nashville bearing the body of
General Calixto Garcia, steamed slowly
into Havana harbor at 1 o'clock this
afternoon, the guns of Moro Castle and
the American squadron saluting her.
The solemn booming announced the ar
rival to the eXpectant city. Every
where householders and ships lowered
a thousand flags to half-mast and black
streamers soon surmounted the Cuban
banners. By the time the gunboat had
come to anchor thousands of people
crowded the water front. The marines
lowered the casket to the tug chartered
by the Cuban commission. The silent
crowds, with barred heads marched to
the strains of a funeral dirge to the
palace where the body now lies in the
municipal chamber guarded by details
of Cuban and American troops. On the
order of General Ludlow all official flags
will be kept at halfmast until after the
public funeral on Saturday.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 9.--The McCar-
rel bill to prevent attorneys from stand
ing aside Jurors, which passed the sem
ate last week, was to-day postponed by
the house until March 21, by a vote of
93 to 92. The bill was reached on second
reading shortly after O'Clock and was
discussed for more than an hour before
this decision was reached. Seventeen
democrats voted against the motion to
postpone and five Quay republicans for
it. Charges have been freely made that
the bill is intended to favor Senator
Quay in the trial Of the conspiracy
charges against him, which has been
fixed for the 9th instant. In the ballot

ARMY REORGANIZATION BILL.
Must Pass or President VIII Call Extra
Session of Congress.

Washington, Feb 9.-The Post to-
morrow will say: The army reorganiza-
tion bill must pass or the president will
call an extra session Of congress. The
opposition to the bill in the senate has
been frequently referred to. Any COM
promise whereby legislation Of a tempo
rary character would be placed upon
the army appropriation bill will not sat-
isfy the administration. The president
has determined that the passage of the
bill should be an issue and there is no
doubt in administration circles that he
will be successful. If, however, any OBJ
stacles should prevent action, an extra
session will surely be held. A decision
was yesterday rendered by the attorney
general to the effect that as soon as the
Publications of the peace treaty are ex-
changed the volunteer soldiers can no
longer be held in the service.

THE SAMOAN ID TFICuLTY.
No Doubt That German Consul Acted in
Arbitrary Manner.

AFDltfary MANNER
Washington, Feb. 9.--The press re-
ports of the events at Samoa, as far as
they go, agree with the official advices
touching the series OF petty snarls and
official disregard for treaty obligations
that have come from official sources.
There can be no doubt it is said here,
that \the conduct of the German consul
general at Samoa, Rose, and the German
president Of the municipal council,
Raffel, was arbitrary, overbearing and
IN violation OF not only the spirit, but
also the letter OF the treaty of Berlin.
Still, the United States ambassador,
White, having by this time presented
the American view to the German gov
ernment at Berlin there is no disposi-
tion on the part of the authorities here
to add to the difficulties of the situation
by public discussion of the matter in
the newspapers while it Is still q sub
ject of diplomatic exchange, particularly
in view of the confident expectation
that the German government will act
with exact propriety in regulating the
conduct of it's overzealous officials.

Washington Feb. 9.-The Canadian
high joint commission confined itself
to-day to discussing the Alaskan boun-
Diary matter, which will occupy it for
some time to come. The work of the
commission is nearing a close, although
various circumstances have tended to
prolong it beyond the three weeks ses-
sion generally looked for after it's holi-
day recess. 1t is now thought that the
work will be completed by the last week
in this month. 1t is generally regretted
by the commission that the treaty, sup
posing that the commissions labors ul
timately result in treaty, will remain
without action for several months at
least, as it is felt that the discussion
which will result may tend to prejudice
its final chances Of ratification

CABINET CRISIS In FRANCE
GENERAL b BELIEF TH.IT II CANNOT
RE A AVERTED.
Policy Toward Court of CassatiOn-
Deputies Charge that to Deprive Grim
inal Chamber of Rendering Dreyfus
Decision Means Triumph Of CALI mDy.


Paris, Feb. GA score Of deputies, in
Guiding MN. BriSson, Bourgeois, Bar
thou, Siren, Piencarde, Polletan and
Millerand, have addressed an open note
to the government stating their inten-
tion to uphold the supreme principles of
Justice as above all attack. The mani
festo asserts that there is no necessity
to deprive the criminal chamber of the
court Of cessation of the right of render
ing judgment in the Dreyfus case. IN.
Lebret, minister of Justice has testi-
fed say these members of the cham
ber, ito the honesty of the judges and
if the court is disqualified. it will mean
the triumph of calumny. The honesty
of the whole court Of cessation will in
turn be questioned and the highest jur-
isdiction of the court will thus be placed
in jeopardy"
This step indicates the growing oppo-
sition to the revision bill, which, even
II 1t survives in the chamber of depu-
ties is almost certain to be rejected by
the senate. The general belief Is that
nothing now can save the Dupuy cabi-
net.
