ord when he rode 80 miles 1.O45 yards
within the hour. When the TurVille
brothers pushed their motor around the
Salt Palace saucer in 1880 for the mile
about a month ago the crowd went wild
with enthusiasm, yet Fixes followed
pace at the same speed for full hour.
The fastest pace ever followed on the
local track for a single mile was 1:32
and was made by Charlie Turville.
Young Hodgert attempted to lower this
last week and failed, yet Fixes rode
forty miles and every one of them was
two seconds faster than the Utah rec
ord. This new record is phenomenal
from the fact it was made with ordi-
nary pace and without wind shields.
EIkes was further impeded toward the
end of the hour by a heavy fog, which
so dampened the track as to make rid
ing exceedingly dangerous. The old
record was 80 miles 464 yards and was
made by Chase at the Paris EXPOSE
ton about a month ago 1t was made
with the use of wind-shields on the
pacing machines, quite an item in
Chase's favor.
The new indoor track at Chicago,
which is ten laps and built for a 1:20
gait, will be opened tomorrow night for
a weeks racing by the fastest middle
distance men in the business. The rid
ers who will compete are Jimmy Mick
ael. Johnnie Nelson, Johnnie Fisher
and Eddie McDuffie. Each of the riders
is to meet all OF the others and if the
outcome is at all III doubt the leading
men will meet in another contest. At
ter a weeks rest the men Will meet at
another distance all around at Kansas
City, where a weeks racing will be held
on the new indoor ten-lap track. From
there they go TO st. Louis, where the
programme will be repeated in the Col
iseum building at still another distance.
Through this programme each OF these
men will meet each Of the others at
three different distances, which will
be twenty and twenty-five miles and
the hour. From these contests will
develop the champion who will face all
Corners at Madison Square Garden.
From this array of talent 1t is expected
that all middle-distance records will
have to fall. Over half a dozen motors

IndIa's Famine.

Occasionally events happen which

dispatches of Monday regarding the
great famine in India remind us that
it is big old world, after all. and that
we do not keep very well posted On
our neighbors. How few of US in7 tn ;
happy land of plenty have known any
thing about the famine and plague
which have laid the hand of death
upon the vast Indian empire. and yet
we are told that millions of people arr
starving there and that the horrible
situation is growing darker every day.
1t is a famine of water as we'll as Of
food and there is no hope Of relief until
the June rains come. The drouth
caused the failure Of the crops, and
great regions are now practically bar
rem wastes. Cattle are dying by thou
sands, children are abandoned. and the
death-rate is assuming fearful proper

1t is hard for Americans to conceive
the conditions that exist and the worse
one which threatens in that far off
land. But the horrors of famine and
plague are nothing new to India. Only
two years ago fully S0,000.000 people, as
many as live in North America. We're
affected by the ravages Of sickness and
starvation. and the dispatches indicate
that this years trouble may be eve II

How many know what the Boer flag
is? 1t isn't a familiar sight: it cannot
be bought in this country: no bunting
merchant keeps il: and it was never
seen upon the seas. But it is a simple
affair and easily described The
"vierkleur," the four color, is what the
citizens of the South African republic
call their flag 1t is the tr-color Of
Holland, which differs from the French
tri-color by being arranged horizontal
ly instead of vertically. with a broad
vertical band of green at the end next
to the staff. The Beers designed their
flag by taking that of the home coun-
try and adding that strip of green,
symbol of the trackless veldt; making
it both a sign of their origin and a
token Of their home. This flag they
adopted, years ago. after fighting their
way into the heart of the South
African wildness, and at the same
time they selected their national motto
Zen Draght Maakt Magt." Right
Makes Might" The Boer flag is gain
ing respect by the way in which its
rough-hewn defenders have resisted
the advances of the British armies.

American Expansion in the West Indies.

1t will not be anything strange if
Uncle Sam is the possessor of the
Danish West Indies before long. 1t is
an open secret that Denmark is not only
willing but anxious to dispose of them,
and since our adherence to the Monroe
doctrine will prevent any European
power from acquiring them we cannot
consistently play the dog in the
manager policy and refuse to purchase
them ourselves. Recently there was
rumor that Germany was negotiating
with Denmark for their possession. but
Emperor William discreetly refused to
violate the Monroe doctrine ana the
negotiations. if they really existed,
were dropped. Now we hear that Den
mark has again renewed her efforts to
dispose of the islands to the United
States.
This is not the first time that the
transfer has been under consideration
by the governments of this country
and Denmark. But on former occa-
sions this country had no interests in
the West Indies and was busy in the
development of its vast national re-
sources. But now our flag is flying in
the West Indies and the Danish propo-
sition has new aspect. Progressive
Americans will justly hold that the
policy Of expansion in the West Indies
should be followed out to its logical
and consistent conclusions. Geograph-
ically and commercially all the West
we believe the day is not far distant
when they will all be part of it po-
litically. as well. And by this we mean
not only the Danish West Indies, but
the larger and more important islands
now under the flags of England and
France.
The Danish islands are three in num-
Der. St. Croix. st. Thomas and St.
John. and all are small in area. having
a total Of only 142 square miles. The
population is about $1,000. CONNER

which is said to be the price set upon
them by Denmark. but from the stand
points OF strategical value and Ameri
can West Indian expansion. they are
worth many times this sum. The ma
tional destiny of all the West Indies is
under the American flag. Recent
events have brought the most import
ant Of them. Porto Rico ana Cuba. into

and the course Of events will bring the

great practical service. one Of the
greatest ever accomplished by the
preacher in politics. He made it plain
that the Roman Catholic clergy of this
country are politically free. and that
the papaCy is not the ally Of Demo-
cratic bosses. His fearless independ-
encc made it possible for him to do
more for America than any other
Catholic OF his time, ana To DO more
for Catholicism than any other Ameri-
can of his time. He did not succeed in
abolishing poverty but he did great
service, and led the way for others TO
follow.
