LOS ANGELES, Cal, June 10.-When a

last night he found the lights out and the

as to what round the fight ended, and If
any one was hurt. Being assured that
neither his son nor Fitzsimmons had sus-
tanned serious injury, Sc haid:

THE WHEEL,

The Centurion, the official organ of
the Century Wheelmen, of Philadel
phia, says:
In another column we publish a let
ter from President Bailey asking the
members to consider the question OF
disseminating our membership, as d
club, in the League Of American Wheel
men. and devoting the $500 annually
spent therefor to some other purpose.
While we have opinions on this sub
ject, we think it hardly fair either to
the advocates or opponents of such a
movement to express them here. Il is
a matter for the club to settle in opgn
meeting, without any expression OF
opinion pro or con from the few indi-
viduals conducting this paper.
The fact that he L. A. w. IS grad
ually losing its hold on riders all over
the country Is becoming more and more
in evidence every day The continual
ton OF this movement may hurry on
the last lap and finish Of the League.
There is no doubt that if affairs reach
that point it will be detrimental to the
racing men. An organization without
a head is worse than none at all. II

and vicinity who intend competing
only in local races to register. az the

THE PUBLIC LANDS OF UTAH
REFERRED TO IN COMMISSION
Err HERMANN'S REPORT.
Surveys Made of Number of Town
ships Were. Carelessly and I'm
properly Executed.
Especial to The Herald.l

washington, D. C., Oct. 26.-The an
nual report of Commissioner Hermann
of the land office shows that during the
last year lands selected by the state of
Utah were duly certified to the agricul-
tural college, school of mines, deaf and
dumb asylum. state university, reform
school. and for reservoirs, aggregating
SIS, 600 acres. The Utah acres covered
by surveys accepted by the land office
during the year aggregated 621,174. The
apportionment for Utah field examina-
tions during the coming year is 10000.
The report also says that in 1895 a
contract was entered into for surveys
in several townships in the eastern part
of the state. The surveys were care-
lessly and improperly executed. The
surveys under this contract were sus-
pended and the deputy required to re-
turn to the field. v
This year the field work was examin-
ed by a special agent of the land office,
who reported that one-half of the town
ships were in faulty condition, requir-
ing further correction. Forty per cent
of the corners were missing, and in
some instances the corners We're found
without pits and mounts.
The last examiner considered that the
boundary outside OF a small valley in
the township was practically unsurvey-
able and wholly worthless, and it was
his opinion that the deputy had made
no survey outside the valley, and sur
veys were formally rejected.

has secured for the United States the
valuable services of the whole royal
family of Sulu for a compensation of
a good clerk and provided immediate
mitigation of the conditions of the
slaves and their ultimate emancipa-
ton. Not being in actual possession OF
the Sulu group (and Spain has never
been able to obtain more than a norni-
nal suzerainty over it), the ability of
the United States military commander
to effect these things, besides preserving
peace and opening the islands to trade,
is regarded as commendable.
1t is further said that this arrange
ment is not permanent, and does not
prevent different treatment of the
islands in the future, and still further
it has not been approved thus far by
the president, who may make changes.
The arrangement is regarded 'as a
purely military one, fully within the
powers of the American commanding
officer to draw up, and so it will not be
submitted to the senate. as would be q
treaty, but will be merely transmitted
as a matter of information.

British guns shelled the position and
the infantry advanced under the cover
OF the fire. The Gioucesters and Dew
ons crossed a fearful fire zone beneath

"A fierce rifle and artillery duel was
maintained for some time. The British
Maxims ratified, but the Beers, under
cover of the rocks. remained cool and
replied with an incessant rifle fire. The
British artillery swept the face of the
hills. and at length the shells became
SO destructive that the Beers retreated
10 another ridge where they were dis
lodged by the volunteers in the face
of a CALLING fire.
1.-The Beers soon reformed and took
up a position on another ridge, but the
volunteers dashed across the interyen-
ing plateau. again rushed the Boer po-
sition and drove them back to the main
force occupying Matawanaskop. The
British then shelled the, latter until
clusters Of Beers were seen leaving
and retreating westward when the en-
gagement closed. -
