PACED BYA STEAM MOTOR CYCLE.
Remarkable Performance Made by ajor
Taylor at Chicago, Friday Night.

Remarkable Performance Made by M Major
Taylor at Chicago, Friday Night.
Chicago, ILL.,, July 30. Major Tay-
lor, paced by the steam motor cycle,
rode mile on the Ravenswood track,
last night. in 1.32 25. The motor
cycle, which is rather a complex affair,
went wrong in its insides dozen times
before it was patched up sufficiently to
make the pace.
The quarter was made in % 10,
worlds time. The half was made in
"A 1-5, also record time. y.
The three-quarters was second
slower, for the machine was not true.
The time was too slow to allow the
record to come to Illinois, for. the last
quarter was made in 25.
When Taylor realized that more speed
was necessary he started to squirt. and
in the stretch he gained the length of
the motor cycle and finished yard to
the good. This record is the best ever
made in the West.

Homo, at Hampton, says that there have
been three deaths from yellow fever
since yesterday, and 80 cases are now
under treatment. Expert surgeons and
immune nurses are being installed, and
rigid quarantine regulations enforced.
He does not think tho disease will
spread beyond the home. The most
plausible theory of tho introduction of
the disease is that the germs were i'm
ported on the transports that brought
sick soldiers from Santiago. There are
no cases here, at Old Point or Newport
News. Every precaution has been
taken by the government and local
health authorities, and very little un-
easiness is felt.

ARCHBISHOP TEMPLES DECISION
Concerning the Use OF Incense and the
Carrying of Lights In Procession.

London. Eng, July 3l.-The Arch
bishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev.
Frederick Temple, ID. d., rendered q
decision today in the ritual cases which
he and the Archbishop of York, the
Most Rev. William Dalrymple Mac.
Lagan, ID. d., heard in May.
The archbishops declare that, while
far from saying the use of incense and
the carrying of lights in procession arc
unsuitable or undesirable accompani-
ments of divine worship, they are OBJ
liged, in accordance with the prayer
book, to come to the conclusion that
these adjuncts are neither enioined nor
permitted by the law of the Church of
England. Therefore, the archbishops
add, though they may be used to
sweeten church or for purely lighting
purposes, they urge oil the clergy, for
the sake of the peace of the church,
to discontinue their use as part of the
services.

JOHN BARRETT's VIEW.

London, April 20. John Barrett,
former United States minister to Siam,
who has just arrived from Manila, en-
phatically declares that the gloomy
forebodings expressed in some quar-
tors relative to the Philippines are not
justified by the facts. He SAYS:
The United States naval and military au.
thorities have done everything possible In the
difficult and exceptional circumstances and
the united support Of all parties In the United
States in the present juncture will enable them
to bring matters in the Philippines to quick
and lasting settlement, honorable to the
motherland Should the Fiipinos, however
who are kept well informed acquire the idea
that prol0ngation Of hoslilties would affect
politics IN the United States advantageously
to them the war would be more prolonged
In the opinion of Mr.. Barrett, the
Filipino, as soon as he has had time to
digest the recent successes of Gen.
Otis and Gen. Lawton and to become
convinced of American superiority,
will settle down to a life Of peaceful
and progressive citizenship.
