Russians Way of Raising Money

The recent increase in Russia of
all duties on imported goods is des-
tined to pay for the Chinese expe-
dition. Thus. says the Vienna Frem-
denblatt, Russia defrays the expense
of the alliance war out of the peck
cts of the allies. The cotton goods
of England and Germany. the Jewels
and the wine of France. the prod
ucts of America. Italy and Austria
must make it possible for Russia
to fight side to side with England,
Germany, France, America, Italy and
Austria. Perhaps the high duties
will still remain when the last Boxer
has yielded to the international
forces. So Russia will be a winner.

THE BICYCLE RACE
w. +. OFT GETS FIRST MONEY AND
CLARENCE ROGERS MAKES
BEST TIME.
Seven Contestants Enter the Ten-Mile
Race to Sanders Station and Return
and a Large Crowd Witnesses the
Start and Finish-Ott's Riding Sur
priSes the People.

The ten-mile bicycle race last even
ing attracted a large crowd, and much
interest was manifested in the outcome
of the event.
Seven Of the twelve entrymen started,
and five Of these finished in fairly good
time.
At $50 p. m. John Cordiner and w.
F. OFT were started over the course, and
were followed two minutes later by
Fred Lohlein and George Rice. Elmer
Lovejoy and ]. Norton left the scratch
at 6:53k and Clarence Rogers, the only
scratch man, started at 6:54.
A light wind from the southwest was
blowing and while this was scarcely
noticeable in the city it had consider
able effect on the riders, who felt its
force as soon as the outskirts of town
were reached.
While waiting for the return of the
riders the people who had assembled to
witness the sport INDUCED in much
speculation as to the outcome and not
a few bets were made. Clarence Rog-
ers seemed to be the f~avorite, and the
judgment of the crowd was we'll found
ed, but a dark horse proved to be the
winner Of the race.
". F. OFT, one of the 4-minute men,
was the first to finish, and he had a big
lead over all his competitors. He fin
ished in 20 minutes and SO seconds
minutes and 46 seconds ahead of Rog-
ers, who came in second. AS Rogers
was handicapped 4 minutes, his time
over the course was IA seconds less than
that Of Off,.
George Rice finished third, Al seconds
after Rogers, and Elmer Lovejoy came
in 81 seconds later than Rice. John
Cordiner crossed the line Is seconds af-
ter Lovejoy. Lohlein and Norton were
distanced.
OFT won first money and second time
prize, $10.50; Rogers captured second
money and first time prize, $12, and
Rice took third money, $3.50.
Rogers net time was 1898, and Rice
covered the course in 1920.
The start was made at the intersec-
ton Of Grand avenue and Second street
and the course led to Sanders station
and return.
Mr.. Otis riding was a surprise to ev-
erybody. No one had picked him for
the winner and his remarkably good
time over the course was a revelation.

COL. BLACKS WORK IN HAVANA.
Yellow Fever Not Tracnble to Any
Engineering Operations.

Colonel William NJ. Black, the chief of
engineers on General Woods staff, has ar
rived in Washington on a brief leave of
absence from Havana. He has been stead
lily al work a. the Cuban capital since the
the island having planned most of the very
extensive system of sanitation, and engi-
neering works, which have been established
in Havana and vicinity, and having also
executed the projects conceived by General
Ludlow and Governor General Brooke in
tn. earlier days of the occupation.
Colonel Black has been charged with the
execution of the vast plans for the nstalla-
ton of a sewerage system in Havana. which
are to be carried out by Michaei Dady. and
it is expected that work will begin on that
undertaking as soon as he returns to the
island next month.
From the experience already acquired by
him in cleaning W Havana, and carrying
on a great deal of public work in the ma
ture of paving and draining. Colonel Black
is satisfied that there is no real basis for
the apprehension which prevails in some
quarters as to a formidable outbreak of
yellow fever In Havana in consequence of
the tearing up of its streets an Incl
dent to the construction of sewers. by
careful attention, and the observance of
severe sanitary measures, Colonel Black
found it possible to carry forward all of
his own work without any disastrous re-
suits to the health Of the community, and
he is satisfied that by following the same
plan the larger undertaking can also be
effected without the anticipated outbreak
of yellow fever Colonel Black states posi-
lively that up to date not one case of fever
has been traced to any of the operations
conducted by the engineer department.

THE ARMY TRANSPORT SERVICE
Proposition of Merchant Lines to Con-
duct the Business Rejected.

After a full discussion of the subject with
Quartermaster General Ludington and Col.
Bird of his office Secretary Root has re-
jected the proposition to have the military
transportation business between this coun-
try and Cuba and Porto Rico conducted by
merchant lines of steamers on those routes,
instead of by regular army transports as
at present. 1t was found that the expense
is practically the same under both systems.
and that otherwise there would be spe
cial advantage in transferring the work to
private steamship companies. {.
There now two lines Of service be-
tween New York and the West Indies, one
running to San Juan, Santiago, Manzanillo
Gibara and Nuevitas and the other running
to Matanzas. Havana and Cienfuegos. One
result of the decision TO continue the gov
ernment transport service is the establish
ment of a regular sem-monthly service on
each of the two routes. The transports as
signed to the San Juan route are the Raw
Inns and Mcclellan, and the transports on
the Havana route are the Crook, McPher-
son and SedgWick. Although the vessels
on each route will make semi-monthly trips
the schedule has been arranged that
vessel Will leave New York for place
or the other every week. beginning with
yesterday, when the Crook sailed for Ha-
vana. The Rawlns will sail for Porto
Rico on the 23th, and after that date the
be regularly maintained. The present sched-
ule is fixed up to the 26th of December.
when the Rawlins will sail for eastern Cuba
and Porto Rico.
Orders have been issued for the complete
repair of the transports Wright and Ingalls,,
at New York. with a view to utilizing them
in the tnterisland transport service in the
Philippines. These vessels were purchased
during the Spanish war and were used for
the transportation of troops and freight be-
tween the United States and the West In
dies. Lately their service has been con-
fined to cruising in the waters of Cuba and
Porto Rico. The ingalls, was formerly the
merchant steamer Clearwater. She has a
tonnage of 11i7, and was purchased for
$1J0,0OO. The Wright. formerly the mer
chant steamer Bay State. has tonnage OF
III and cost the government originally
100000 These vessels are too small for
use regular troopships between the
United States and the Philippines. but are
we'll adapted for cruising in the Philip
pine archipelago. They will make the TRIP
to Manila by way of the editerranean sea
and the SueZ canal.

PRESENCE HAD LITTLE EFFECT.
Baltimore Crowds Went to Hear
Bryan Through Curiosity.

Special Dispatch to Ihe Evening star.
BALTIMORE, Nd, October A.-Mr. Bry-
an has come and gone like a whirlwind, and
whatever effect this hasty tour OF Maryland
may have had on the voters is not apparent
at the present time. He greeted by
large crowds of enthusiastic democrats
wherever he appeared, and although he
said nothing new his speeches were ap-
plauded with force and vigor on all sides. o.
If the free silver candidate changed any
votes which would otherwise have been
cast for Mckinley there is no sign of such
change apparent in the community. The
republicans who heard him attended the
meetings through curiosity, while the gold
standard democrats who intend to vote tor
Mckinley We're unlnhuenced by What ne
said, as he carefully avoided all allusion to
the money question and devoted his
speeches to other issues of the campaign.
His admirers admit some disappointment
at the fact that he said nothing new, but
hope that his visit will have the effect OF
stirring up all democrats to work hard
from now on to election day.
The meeting at Music Hall was no larger
in point of numbers than that at which Mf.
Bryan spoke here in 1896, and it will be re-
membered that in the election which fol-
lowed in that year Maryland gave 32,oo1
majority for Mckinley. Chairman Colds
borough Senator McComaS and other re-
publican leaders and the leaders of the
Honest Money Democratic League say to-
day that Mr.. Bryan's visit will have no APP
preciabe effect on the contest, and that
Marylands s vote is safe for Mckinley.
Tomorrow (Thursday). night the honest
money democrats will hold a mass meeting
at Music Hall, at which President John h
Cowen of the Baltimore and Ohio railway
will be chairman and one of the chief speak
ers Judge Lynch of Ohio and other promi-
nent democrats who are supporting Mckln-
ley will also speak, and the meeting prom

CHINA WAS WARNED EARLY.
Diplomatic Correspondence Revealed
in the british Blue Book.

in the british Blue Book.
Copies have been received here of the
publication of the British blue book on
the uprising in China. Although issued
some time ago. 1t gives much of the dip
lomatic correspondence not heretofore
made public up to the imperial edct ex
planning the murder of Baron Won Kettle
Ter. The dispatches of the British min
lister at Pekin to Lord Salisbury show that
naval demonstration was recommended
as far back as March 10, the American,
French and other ministers joining in an
identical recommendation. 1t was not
favorably received, however. and the po-
sitiOn of the United States is shown by
statement by the British ambassador at
Paris to N Delcasse to the effect that the
United States was not likely to join in the
demonstration. Later, in May, another
naval demonstration was proposed, but
was not carried out. The British ambas-
sador recites with great minuteness the
details of his calls the tsung Ii yamen,
when he was accompanied by Mr.. Conger

made by Mr.. Conger at that time the

consul in China advised the foreign office
that Ii Hung Chang and the southern
viceroys We're ready to refuse further rec

tary to general impression. 1t appears
from the correspondence that Russia gave
her adherence to Japan's sending large
emergency force into China. and that the
obstacle interposed came from Germany.

a very wide range, covering in eXtensO

DEPARTURE OF OUR TROOPS
Soldiers in China Will Not he De-
tanned by the Ice.

Based on General Chaffee's advice the
War Department officials are of the opinion
that all Of the American troops included in
the order of evacuation have not only left
Pekin, but are now probably at Tien Tsin
or nearby. The quartermaster's depart
ment has made all arrangements for taking
them To the Philippines, so that there is no
longer much danger of the troops being
prevented by ice from leaving North China.
1t is now said that in all probability Gen.
James II. Wilson. the second In command
in China, will soon be detached, and will
not remain in Pekin. according to the orig

this circumstance of the abandonment of

A New Treatment of Wood.

Great results are expected from new
discovery of a Mr.. De Gall, inspector OF
forests at Lamur, France, according to
dispatch received at the State Department
from Vice Consul General Hanauer at
Frankfort Germany. The new invention is
a method Of producing a wood impervious
to water and acids alike, and a perfect
electrical non-conductor. That Is accom-
plished by means of dry distillation and
high pressure which prevents the escape
to a hard body of the character of COAL
yet Without a trace Of the organic struc-
ture of that mineral. This new body,
though hard, can be shaped and polished at
will.
