FAST TIME ON A BICYCLE.

While the work of Bicyclist Murphy, who. paced by a locomotive, covered a mile in fifty-seven and four-ffths sec onds on his wheel near New York Fri day, is a remarkable achievement and one that calls for the greatest admira- ton for the skill, nerve and endurance of the performer, it is hardly speei- men of the best sportsmanship. It is interesting to see the utmost possibi1i- ties of bicycle speed brought out, but If that speed depends largely upon tha suction rushing along in the wake of a flying train, the human element must share the honors with the machinery that has so great a part in the feat. The more. artificial devices are em- ployed, the farther from true spoI-s mansLip, whose chief pleasure IS or ought to be in bringing out the best of human ingenuity and skill. Still, the ethical phase o9 the subject will not trouble. most people, and there was the keenest anticipation in Mur- phys tIial for mile minute on b. cyIe, but none had scarcely hoped that he would. accomplish the phenomenal record of less than a minute.

DEwEY.s CRUISE OF TRIUMPH.

Admiral Dewey had a royal recep- ton at Colombo, on the island of Cey-
 lon. Had he been an Englishman re-
 turning from some great naval exploit
 he could not have been more kindly
 received and more generously ap-
 plauded by the English people. There
 was nothing too much to be done for
 him and the kindly words of Anglo American friendship spoken to him touched him deeply. In responding to the welcome the admiral said:
 That cheer raised in the jetty when landed went to the hearts of all Of us
 We are 14,000 miles from home, but that cheer will be heard in America, although the way in which it has touched me I shall never be able to fully express.
 t@The two nations were never so closely allied by mutual sympathy and appreciation as now. The American war, and you can imagine how all those who were at Manila and met Sir Ed ward Chichester Commander of the British frst-class cruiser Immortalite) and his gallant comrades hold that feeling very deeply"
 Admiral Dewey has the happy fac ulty, possessed by nearly all our men who have achieved greatness in all lines of activity, of expressing himself in we'll chosen words and mose effect i've sentences. He said not too much, neither too little. He struck a pop ular keynote, emphasized by his exper- fences last summer in the harbor of Manila
 As the admiral draws nearer to the higher civilization the interest in tfs travels will increase. What followed upon his arrival at Colombo will be repeated at other places. but we have no fear that the brave sailor and bnl- liant statesman will ''slop over" at any time. He has perfect control of him. self mentally and physically and while ever ready to respond to words of greeting he will make no breaks in the course of his tour of receptions. Beginning at Ceylon his way to New York will be marked with many events that will be doubly gratifying to the sailor because of the personal interest shown in him and because of the for dgn appreciation of what he, stands for as the representative of one of the foremost nations of the world The era of good feeling between the Eng fish speaking peoples of two conti- nents is noteworthy as marking the close of the century with a better un- derstanding between peoples of the same blood-who have too long baen to q considerable extent l Admral Daweg's reception at Ceylon | will be gratifying to the fellow citi- Zeus at home

TOPICS OF THE HOUR ;:

s.Long before the Hon. T. B. Reed made any plans for going into New York law firm he was urged by close friends to take up his residence sn St. Louis,' said an intimate acquaintance Of the Maine statesman in the Wash ington Post. MT. Reed wanted to get out of congress in 1896, and came very near retiIfng then. Congressman Charles F. Joy of St. Louis, and other prominent men of that city begged him to locate in the Missouri metropo- lis, promising him a certain income Of not less than $25 900 a year for six years through association with one Of the best legal firms in the state. The plan was for him to ultimately become a western republican candidate for the prea dency. MT. Reed listened eourte- ously to these well meant proposals, but he shook hls head, saying it was too late in life for aim to think of mi grating from the east. He did nof give up his idea of leaving congress, but postponed it for another term MT.

NO RIVER AND HARBOR BILL

Washington, December 2l-Cnairman
Burton Of the river and harbor commit
tee authorized to following statements to-
day:
"Tnsrs will probably be no river n,d
harbor bill at this present session. One
strong argument against bill Is the fact
that this engineer force will be occupied
during the coming year with projscts al
ready provided for. In many cases, plans
for improvements are not even completed.
In others adveI tisements for bids have
not yet been made. Another fact OF I'M
portanoe is the increase in the piios Of
material in the last year. Some OF the
projects already authorized cannot DO
completed for the amounts estimated by
the engineers. OF course the demands
upon the treasury and the amount Of
revenue are facts to be taken into CON-
alteration, although do not mean to say
that river and hartor improvements are
less important than others. 1t IL only be-
cause, contrary to usual custom. the bill
was passed during the last session Of

voted to the examiuatlon OF John b.
Tyrrell OF Milwaukee. the handwriting
xpert, who's, testimony ysstsrdiy was
interrupted by the adjournment OF court.
Mr.. Tyrrsil's evidence was mainly
technical, being devoted to the pscullsrl-
ties In slants. curves, loops. "pen pres
sure" and "pen habits" Of writings
which he alleged were done BY Moiinsux.
On, Of his points was thar most OF tbs
writing Was vertical withous having any
Of the vertical styles usually accompany
ing such writings.

direct contrast to evidence given by
william J. Kinslsy. the other handwrit-
ing expert, was In regard to the dotting
OF the H." Mr.. I, rreil mainta'ned that
the writer completed his wcrd snd oft n
bis sentence before returning with his
pen to dot the a."
MIR. Kinslsy gave 10 % his opinion that
the writer stopped to Oct tie 'i'' befei Q
completing the word.
Mr.. Tyrrell brought out the point thit
the writer OF the poison package ad-
dressed could only write certain dis
tsnce without lifting his hand or chang
ing the position Of his pen, In this con-
nection, he made comparisons betwesn
the address on the poison package, the
bogus Cornish Harpster" letter and
some writings admitted to have been
done by Moiinsux. He said that similsr
words of all the exhibits had the sans
'pen habits"
He also pointed out what he claimsd
to be pertinent similarities In the forma-
tion of many of the letters, loops. stroKes.
and curves.
When asked the strength Of his opinion
that the defendant wrote all the exhibits
from whicn the word ''obligs" had besn
taken and ansIyzsd, he said: As strong
as anything terrestrial-as anything can
be OH this earth."
The sxaminat ION proceeded on thess
lines, taking up word by word and
phrase by phrase. until 40 O'Clock when
