a CARD TO TIE PURlIC.
1t seems that tho Augcun stables
need cleaning l am no Hercules,
but l can at least do part of the
work. l have been connected with
the dispensary for over six years.
That | have been honest and faithful
in the discharge of my duties is
provoa by tho fact that when my
enemies on the board OF control wish
cd to displace me the only excuse
they could find for my removal was
an allegation that l bad violated a
rule Of tho board--a rule which two
members Of tho board assert was
modified to permit that which L was
discharged for doing. am strong
believer in the dispensary law, and
havo dono all in my power to make
it success. | still believe with
it's administration in the hands of
honest, pure and ablo mon it is the
very best solution of the liquor prob
lem.
During my yoars of service in the
dispensary [ have seen number of
things done which l know were
wrong. These I reported to MON
bers of the board, who wero | know
honest, able and pure. They thought,
however, that it was best to say
nothing publicly about tho wrong
doing until mon like themselves wore
a majority Of the board. They be-
leved in tho dispensary and earnest
ly strove to make it success. In
their Judgment the dispensary could
not withstand the effect of such ex
posures, if it's control was in the
hands of the men against whom
these exposures were made. They
wanted to save the law for the great
potential good that was in it. But
as the contrary element has grown
so confident Of its power that it has
gone to turning honest mon out of
office at the dispenaary, SO as to fill
all places with its tools, thus facili-
tating the earring Of its plans, I
deem it my duty to make public all
L know, so as to expose these mon,
deeming it better that the dispen-
sary should die than to continue
under their control, but hoping that
the effect Of my criticism will be to
drive such mon out of the dispen
sary and place it's management ir
the hands of men above roproach.
make this statement because I donot
wish to be considered sorehoad OF
as exposing things I condonod as
lC0g as L hold otflco.
[ stand ready and hereby offer ny
services to the board in helping then
sift out all wrong doing of whatove,
kind which exists, and help then
place the dispensary law where il
should be, above reproach, and to On
force it's regulations IN accordance
with law and conduct it in tho inter
ests of tho people, and not the gang
which now controls it.
Very respectfully,

BICYCLE CARNIVAL.
The Contests to Begin at San
Francisco To-Day.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.-A carni-
val of bicycle contests will begin to-
morrow in the Mechanics Pavilion on
a new track which has been laid for the
purpose. Jimmy Michael, the middle
distance champion of the world. pro-
nounces it the fastest indoor track Of
its size ever constructed. 1t is so steep
that it has been predicted that riders
not in good condition will be obliged to
drop out. Its safety was demonstrated,
however, when Fournier rode ten miles
with his motor cycle, averaging 1:J5
for each mile. Michael followed the
hot pace for half the distance on the
occasion of his first practice spin. and
he expects to take five and perhaps ten
seconds off that time when he becomes
more accustomed to the track. The
management is confident that every
worlds record in existence will be low
cred during the coming series of COM
petitions.
On Monday night a six-day bicycle
race will be inaugurated and among
the wheelmen who have already enter
ed for that contest are such cracks as
Miller, Pierce, Waller, Lawson. Nawn.
Turville, Fredericks and the California
champion unpaced amateur rider, Bo
zie. from whom some startling flights
of speed are expected.

LEAGUE OF AMERICAN WHEELMEI
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY COM
PLETES ITS WORK.
The Proposition to Divorce the
League From Racing Over
whelmingly Defeated.

PROVIDENCE OR. ID, Feb. 10.--To
continue the control of bicycle racing,
both professional and amateur; TO ex-
clude the former from membership, but
to allow them a representative at the
national assembly, and extending to
President Keenan, a representative on
the Racing Board, were the main re-
suits of the 1899 national assembly of
the League of American Wheelmen,
which finished it's work in this city this
afternoon.
The racing question was, of course,
the all important one before the as
sembly, but so thoroughly had the
ground been gone over in the past, and
so well was the situation understood,
that there was scarcely any debate
upon the question, and the proposition
to divorce the league from racing was
overwhelmingly defeated, although only
one brief speech was made on the part
of those who afterward proved victo-
rious.
! The assembly was strongly opposed
to the admission Of professionals with
in the league ranks. yet that class Of
racing men received for the first time
due recognition from the league, the
call for representation where there was
taxation being answered by giving
them a membership in the assembly.
In carrying out the sentiment, President
keenan, stated that professionals would
also have a Representative on the Rae
ing Board, so that, taking everything
into consideration, to-day was decided
ly in favor of the racing professionals.
The sum of $500 was appropriated
for the Presidents personal expenses.
The assembly also voted to re-enroll
all those who, having been in the army
and navy, had allowed their names to
drop from the. league. They will also
continue to be members while in the
service.
These preliminary matters out of the
way, the racing question came up for
settlement. The speeches were brief,
and a vote was soon ordered. Before
the roll call was half over more than
the necessary one-third to defeat the
measure had been cast. The final re-
suit showed that it was lost by 50 to
161
c. W. Sans offered an amendment,
which was adopted without division,
permitting professional racing men a
representative in the national assembly.
An amendment, offered by Walter
Sherwood of Indiana, striking out the
word amateur" in the Constitution
wherever it occurred, then came up,
and was lost-144 to 1O5, lacking the
necessary two-thirds vote.
The afternoon session began with
President Keenans announcement that
Boston had been selected for the meet
of 1899.
The present practice of deciding the
place for the annual league meet by
mail vote was made mandatory by an
amendment to the Constitution.
The President was empowered to ap-
point a Press Committee and establish

LORD CHARLES BERESFORD.
THE BRITISH ADMIRAL AT SAN
FRANCISCO.
Comes to the United States in tn,
Interest Of an "Open-Door"
Policy in the Orient.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1O.-The
new Japanese liner America Maru ar
rived here to-day from China and ia
pan, via Honolulu, one day ahead of
time On board the vessel was Lord
Charles Beresford, Admiral of the Brit
ish navy.
The America Maru was met at the
heads by Government tugboat bear
ing a party of distinguished citizens,
who went to welcome the visiting Ad-
miral, who comes to this country in a
three-fold capacity, viz: as a British
statesman, an officer of the Royal navy.
and a Commissioner from the Associat-
ed Chambers of Commerce of England.
The party landed before the vessel
docked, by special permission, and the
Admiral was driven to the Palace
Hotel
Lord Beresford's proposal of an
"open-doo policy in the Orient has
been received with great attention
throughout the world, and it will like
ly play a most prominent part in the
settlement of the Far East question. In
an interview to-day Lord Beresford
said:
1T means simply that instead of
spheres of influence which means the
breaking up of the Chinese Empire,
England, America, Germany and ia
pan shall by agreement maintain free
and equal commercial relations for all
in the Orient. 1t includes the reorgan-
ization of the Chinese armies into one
imperial army instead of numerous
provincial armies, Differed both as to
commissioned and non-commissioned
officers of Europeans, so that the Chin
ese Empire may be properly policed,
and life and property made safe. AS
it is now, mobs and rebellions are lia-
Bile at any time to destroy both lives
and property, as actually happened not
long ago, when about six million taels'
worth. of property belonging to the
French missionary in Western China
was destroyed.
"China must have a revenue and the
open-door policy by guaranteeing order
and uniformity in. customs regulations
and tariffs will provide it in greater
abundance than it has ever been pro-
vided before. besides insuring that it
shall not be wasted, as it is now, it
will mean the opening up of the empire
in all its provinces, and the develop
ment of its wonderful resources of min
ing and commerce. The returns from
concessions of these natural resources.

revenue to the empire.
