other wines with him, and on his death. IN the

it at a certain time and. at any rate, the cham

and Motormen.
The motormen and conductors on all the
railway lines of the Washington Traction
and Electric Company will hereafter all be
bonded for $500 each. regulation to that
effect having gone into operation yester-
day.
The new plan is an entire change from
the old method OF requiring the men to
deposit cash with their companies and 1t
is believed by the management that it Will
be both safer for the company and easier
for the men. The companies required their
motormen and conductors and other re-
sponsible employees to deposit cash when
they entered the service. the sum varying
from S5 to S25 on the different lines.
There was also frequently a sum deposited
for bell punches, the roads making the
conductor pay for them. 1t is said that
this system kept many men from obtain
ing employment from the railways and
forced others TO borrow the requiI ed sum at
heavy rates of interest.
Under the new arrangement an assess
ment of $3.50 will be made. which will be
paid by the men TO a bonding company.
The plan was suggested by General Man
ager Hart a few days ago, and has been
| adopted formally. A certain company In
Baltimore Is named as the one which will

His intention is to do 1000 miles in ten

will ride until tired, then rest for four or
five hours. and ride again until he feels
tired. His chances are considered most
excellent. and Minneapolis cyclists believe
that he will cover the distance in far less

himself says that this mark has been set
merely as something to aim at, and that he
proposes to do the distance in as short a
time as possible. Hansen once held the
twenty-four hour track record. and also
the road record for one day. He will have

cloud over the entire meet unless per-
chance the l. C. A. recognizes the n. c. A.

it will do finally. Downey's action just

The cycle racing men of Denver and vi
cinity have formed an organization TO pro-
mote the sport upder sanction of the L. A.
W. The name of the organization has not
been made known. but the objects embrace
the promotion of meets on a sort Of CO.
operative basis throughout the season. The
organization was born Of necessity, as no
local club cared to undertake the risks of
promoting meets with stated purses. The
racing men will elect board Of governors
who will conduct the meets. The amateur
prizes will be jewelry of Slated value in
each race. and the expenses of these and
Of the meet will be deducted from the
gross receipts, after which the purses for
the professional races will be made up on
a percentage basis. For the open race one
half the net receipts will be given di-
yIded in so, %, Is, and 10 per cent portions.
and a like division will be made in the
handicap. The racing men of Denver were
much encouraged by a meet given some
time ago on this basis, and the organiza-
ton is the result. AS there will probably
be a great revival of the sport in Denver
and at Pueblo, the riders are more than
willing to take the chance and race at home
rather than travel at great expense.

Major Putnam Bradloc Strong, son

Plaza Republican club last night on

''There is very general miscon-

jor Strong.
"The Gilipino is not the willy, de-
ceitful individual he is generally sup
posed to be. On the contrary he is
most delightful man to know in his
home. He is clever and initiative,
and can do anything you show him
how to do once. Twenty-Five thous-

established by General Otis in Mani
la and Illoila, and their rapidity in
learning English is SO great that they
talk it among themselves commonly,
and taunt one another over mispro-
nunciations. 1 predict that given
time to develop, the Filipinos will
prove a superior people to the
present natives Of Cuba and Puerto
Rico
Later, in response to question,
Major Strong said that in his belief
the Filipinos were not yet capable of
sclf-govcrnment, or the solution Of
questions Of broad national policies,
although local self-government might
prove successful with them at pres
emf
