MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July 1.-Two
thousand persons witnessed the open
ing programme of the grand circuit
races of the National Cycling Associa-
ton, which were run in connection
with the l.. A. w. meet at the Expo
sition building tonight. The difficulty
concerning the track was overcome and
the sport, though marred by the alb
sence of several of the star riders in
GLIDING Cooper and Taylor, was enjoy
ed by the crowd.
The prettiest race Of the night was
the mile l. G. U. amateur which was
won by J. II. Lake, of Port Richmond,
in 2:09 1-5. George R. Leander, of Chi
cago, coming in second, six inches be-
hind Lake by winning this race is

Ala 1-5. Jimmy Bowler, of Chicago,
carried off the honors in the mile pro-
fessional 2:15 class and Milwaukee
took the mile novice.

AN ENGLISH OPINION


OF American Rule in Cuba-A Per-
manent Government Needed.
LONDON, July 12.-The report of the
British consul in Cuba for 1899 says:
While the first year of American
rule disappointed Americans as well
as Cubans and failed to realize expec-
tations in the way of a great revival of
trade and needed public works, it is
only common justice to the United
States officials in Cuba to say that no
responsibility for the non-fulfillment
OF these expectations attaches to them.
So far as their authority allowed they
nave worked honestly and in good
faith in what they conceived to be the
best interests of the island. l cannot
see what more could be done. The one
thing that was not in their power to
give was the thing Cuba needed the
most-the establishment of a perma-
nent form of government
The consul endorses the reports of
Generals Brooke, Ludlow and Fitzhugh
Lee, in which they point that until
a settled government is established,
capital, so necessary to the economic
reconstruction of Cuba, will continue
to hold aloof, and says:
I'm the interest of all the countries
commercially related with Cuba, as
well as of Cuba herself, it is TO be
hoped that the present uncertainty will
be ended before the resulting evils as
sumo an acute phase"
Referring TO the complications and
hopeless confusion" arising from the
use of two kinds of money "the rela-
tive value of which daily fluctuates'
the consul says:
1T is incredible that such a sys-
tenn should actually be in use to-day
in civilized country controlled by the
government of so eminently practical
people as the Americans.
Continuing. the consul pays a tribute
to the sanitary work OF the United
States authorities. resulting in re-
markable diminution of mortality from
yellow fever and advises the establish
ment of direct steamship communica-
ton between Great Britain and Cuba
in spite Of previous failures in this di-
rection.
In conclusion the consul remarks:
The losses in Cuba during the in
surrection and war were more serious
than generally thought, and without
the aid of foreign capital the rehabi-
tation of industries will be a very
lengthy, If not impossible task

CINCINNATI, O., July 12.-The ex-

During the afternoon to-day the

various churches where addresses were
made on appropriate topics. Several
cities are applicants for next year s
convention, among them Chicago,
Charleston, s. c., Philadelphia and

best for Chicago. A proposition Is
pending to have the conventions here

ally.

The conventions were the most re-
markable since fusion became a factor
| in Nebraska politics. National poll
tics was injected into the proceedings
and at one time, though it had in real
ity, no bearing on the direct issues,
threatened a split between the Demo-
Gratis and Populists. The question was
| over the endorsement of Stevenson for
Vice President by the Populists-purely
sentimental one-but it provoked a
storm in that convention which prac-
tically blocked all business from II

Populists of the West, warned the con-

withdrawal would lose North Dakota,
South Dakota and Kansas, and the
would have to fight for their lives in
Nebraska.
Just at a time when the sentiment
seemed strong for breaking away from
all alliances. a motion to take a recess
prevailed. The Democrats adjourned
at the same time and the leaders got
together for conference with the result
that the Democrats yielded everything
accepting but a single Office on the
State ticket and dividing with the Pop
ulists and Free Silver Republicans, the
eight Presidential electors. The con-
ference committees was discharged, the
Populists sent their ultimatum to the
Democrats on the question of the divis-
ion of the State Offices; it was accepted
and Governor Poynter's denomination
followed. The ticket was completed
with a fair degree of alacrity.

AN EXPLANATION
OF the Omission of a Declaration in
Favor of the Income Tax-Was an
oversight.

Favor OF the income Tax-N as an
Oversight.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 12.-Mr.
Samuel E. Morss, Indiana member of
the resolutions committee at the ma
tional Democratic convention, in a
signed interview, makes the following
explanation of how there came to be
no income tax plank in the national
Democratic platform. He says: THE
platform as adopted by the committee
on resolutions of the Kansas City con-
vention contained a declaration in ia
vor of the adoption of constitutional
amendments authorizing an income tax
and providing for the election of
United States Senators by the people.
mo objection was made to this reso-
luton and l am convinced that the
omission of the reference to the income
tax was the result OF an oversight due
to the haste with which the sub-com-
mittee was obliged to act to put the
platform as unanimously agreed upon
in such shape to be submitted to the
convention. The idea that the deelar-
alton for the income tax was purpose
ly omitted by the subcommittee, out
of Difference to Senator Hill or any
other person, is preposterous.
81 have no doubt that Mr.. Bryan will
define his position and that of his
party in his letter Of acceptance. Mr..
Bryan has long been known to be an
advocate of the income tax and the
Democratic party of the U. s. is unit
ed in advocating it,

And the brooch at her throat and the

To nourish the old regret;
But should hate sadly to have her go,

In it's leather frame and case;
And thought could cherish my anger,
and grow
To forget her name and her face.
But found it was something couldn't

Till my anger cooled and got blue,
For the girl that couldn't get.
For l missed the laughing, good-na-
tured face
AS we miss an old friend that's
away;
So / put it back in the same old place
1t had known for many a day.
The picture has faded, the leather
looks brown
Tonight meath the fame of the jet
But still don't think can take it
down.

For the brightest of metal will rust,
And there's always a fungus that feeds

And the clearest of glass gathers

And of course knew, too, we've been
growing away
From those old summer days when
we met;
And there's many change in us since
the day
Of the girl that didn't get.
But whatever may come, or whatever
may go
Though the picture may fade year
by year,
There's very soft spot in my heart,
where know
Her image will always be clear.
And so | can say-and | always will
Good luck, and God bless her yet,
With all my heart, for she has it still
The girl that didn't get.
