GOV. J0.iNSTON'S MESSAGE
 TO THE LEGISLATURE
His Argument to the Legislature That the Convention Call Should
 Be Repealed.

Governor Johnston sent in a message to the legislature, on the constitutional con- yention problem, the full text of which fol- lows:
 Gentlemen of the General Assembly:
 Since your adjournment the discussion of the act submitted to the electors or the state the question as to whether or not they desired a constitutional convention to be held, has aroused so much opposition and dissension, a thing certainly not contew- plated by you, and has been so productive of discord that, after obtaining the ad- vice of majority of each house to do. I have felt 1t my duty, in accordance with that advice, to assemble you in special ses- sion. In your discussion of the measure before it's passage, 1t was declared to be a question high above partisan politics, and one that should command the aid and ap- proval of the best men of all parties, as it involved the framing of a new organic law suitable to our present conditions and needs.

 In the senate nothing was done, and there was no test vote.

Third heat-cooper. 2:27 Is, B. Roberts
and Gels.
(. Biddle. Stubs, Perkins, Cooper and
final.
The two mile open amateur was won by
Biddle in 4:36 Is, with B. Roberts second.
In the final, Stubbs collided with one of the
other riders and had an ugly fall, but
was not injured. H. Roberts was the other
rider who qualified for the final The heats
were a mile only, and resulted as follows:
First, H. Roberts (2:26 2-5), Perkins and
Gels, which was the prettiest finish of the
evening" second, Stubs (2:SO, Harris and
Cooper; third, Biddle (219 3-5), and B.
Roberts.
The feature race of the evening was
"cateh-me-if-you-c cam chase between three
tandem teams. 1t was won by Ware and
Hartman, who first overlook and passed H
Roberts and Harris, and after four minute
and eleven seconds pursuit on the trail OF
E. A. Roberts and Spencer, the latter team
was caught and passed, and Ware ana
Hartman were the victors.
In this style of racing, known as the Au-
stralian pursuit race, each team gets a
distance of one-thrd of the track from the
other team, and then all ride until one
team has passed the other two. The au-
dience grew very enthusiastic over this
race, and cheered the riders continually.
These same three teams will ride in a
match race tonight.
The hot weather last night had its effect
on the riders, but nevertheless they put
on all the steam they could, and all came
within the time limit of 2:3O for the mile.
Quite large crowd was out to enjoy the
sport.

IT WAS ALL BIDDLE
AT BIKE RACES
Won Every Race He Was In and
Lowered Record
ON HALF MILE BY HICKMAN
Plucky Little Rider Made it in SO and
Two-Fifths Second = Hickman's
Record was 81 Four-ffths
, He Beat the Tandem.

Last night was "Biddle evening" at the
West End bicycle track, for not only did
this pldcky little athlete win every race
he was in, but he also succeeded in lower
ing the track record for the half mile.
He made in Sc 2-5 seconds, lowering Ped
Hickmans record of 81 AS, which was
made several weeks ago.
Hickman is a splendid rider and is Justly
entitled to his title of champion of Ala
bama and Tennessee but Biddle has been
improving so steadily and has been show
ing SO much more steadiness and head
work in his riding, that his admirers pre-
dict he will make Hickman look to his
laurels later on in the season when the
champion returns from the north; If not
then, certainly by next season.
Biddlesy riding last night was about as
clean and pretty as could be. He knew
just when to squirt, and he always did 1t
to perfection.
In his half mile race against time, he
could easily have clipped another second
off the record had his pacing tandem,
ridden by E. A. Roberts and Spencer, been
able to make the pace better. Even as 1t
was. Biddle had to leave them at the turn
and finished the run unpaced.
The Races.
The first event of the evening was a one
mile open amateur, won in the final by
Biddle in 211, with Stubs second. The en-
tries and winners of the three heats were
as follows;
First heat-Biddle, 90 3-5, Harris and
Rice.
Second heat-Perkins, 2:1s Stubs and

congress always makes time for fu-

done.

this particular. or to suggest that one
or two men be authorized or set apart

and eloquent senators insist upon be-

most striking and pathetic remarks
upon it may already be found in the
Congressional Record, there is no re-
lief, perhaps. from this monotony, no

So the nation must wait until the

gems to obitual literature before vital
questions are taken up.

REVERSING THEMSELVES.

The Philadelphia Press denies that
the Republican party had anything to
do with the admission of Utah as a
state. This is quite the reverse of
what Republicans claimed in the cam
paigns of '95 and '96. They declared up
and down in those days that Utah be-
came part of the Union through the
joint efforts of Providence and a Re
publican minority
In its Indignation the Press exclaims:
THE bill for the admission of Utah was
introduced by a Democrat and reported
by Democratic committee, of which
Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama was chair
man, and passed bv a Democratic
house. of which Mr.. Crisp was speaker
1t was passed by the senate when the
Republicans were in the minority, and
the act was signed bv Grover Cleve-
land as president. Is ii not somewhat
ridiculous to say that the Republicans
forced the act through?
Truly, truly, times be changed

THE SPEAkERSHIP.

Representative Henderson was select
ed long ago by the administration as
Speaker Reeds successor. 1t was a sop
thrown to Republicans of the west. a
section where the money power felt
weak.
The geographical distribution of such
offices is always a matter of signifi-
canoe. But, in spite of previous efforts
to favor the west, Mr.. Reed was al
ways an easy winner whenever he was
a member of the majority ir the house.
In the Fifty-first congress geography
was invoked against him. Cannon of
Illinois. Mckinley of Ohio. Burrows of
Ohio and Henderson of Iowa were all
pitted against him, each willing to
withdraw in favor of any other candi-
date but Reed; yet the Maine man won
easily on the first ballot in the Repub-
lican caucus.
There have been tllirty-two speakers
of the national house of representa-
tives. Since the beginning of the Lin
coin administration there have been
nine-fve Republicans and four Demo-
Gratis. The fayorite length of service
in this capacity seems to have been
three terms. Counting fractions. the
three-term speakers have been Reed,
Carlisle, Randall. Blaine. Colfax, Stew
enson and Macon. Henry Clay was
speaker during the whole Of four full
terms and in fractions of two terms.
His record has not been approached.
and now that Reed has retired from
public life, it viii doubtless never be
broken. A man SO popular could hardly
escape the presidency. although Clay
managed 10 do so. and in any event he
would probably aspire to the senate.
Up to the present only fourteen
states have been thus honored Ken
lucky. Virginia and Massachusetts have
each had four speakers, or twelve of
the thirty-two. New York has had only
