racing affairs will be paramount. The
N. c. A. will perfect it's rules for the
government of amateur and profess
sional racing throughout the United
States. It will also discuss and prob
ably adopt rules for motor cycle COM
petition and record trials on road and
track.
With the L. A. w. the great question
will be whether it will continue to dab
BILE in the sport or forever renounce it's
interests in cycle racing. Former Pres
ident Potter Will introduce amendments
to entirely eliminate reference to racing
in the constitution and bylaws of the
league Another amendment will be
introduced looking to the retention of
amateur racing only.
This proposed halfway measure,
however, is very distasteful to L. A. w.
members in this part Of the country.
By these it is confidently believed that
Mr.. POtter's amendments will be car
ried by the required two-thirds vote.
With racing out of it's way the league
will turn its attention with renewed
vigor to building up it's membership.
caring for the rights of cyclists and
agitating and securing the improve
ment of the public highways and the
building of cycle paths. These are its
true interests, from which its attention
has been more or less diverted by the
squabble over race control.
If the sentiment of league membersip
in this state prevails at the assembly
and the l. A W. formally turns over
the care of racing to the n. c. A, the
latter body will have undisputed juris-
diction over the sport from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from the Canadian
border line to the Gulf of Mexico. The
supremacy of the N. c. A. has already
been recognized by the Pacific coast
and Southern cycle racing organiza-
lions.
Should the anti-racing amendments be
defeated at Philadelphia-a contingency
that now seems improbable-it is GER
tain that the fight for control will be
continued for another year. with more
bitterness than ever. 1t is equally GER
tain that in this contingency the sport
will be practically killed in this coun-
try. It would be particularly 1amen-

BIG FIGHT REPORTED.
Butler is Supposed to Be in Con-
tact With the Beers.

London, Feb. 5. 4:4S p. ma special
dispatch from Durham, Natal, dated to-
day, says:
There is no definite news from Gen
eral Butler, but it is reported that there
was heavy fighting yesterday"
The war office statement that it has
received no confirmation of the report
that General Butler has crossed the Tu-
gela river has failed to shake public
belief that operations of tremendous
Importance are proceeding at the Iu-
geia. and it is thought that either the
denial was prompted by desire to
keep the military movements as secret
as possible until something was accom-
plished, or that General Butler is keep
ing the home officials in the dark pend
ing results 1t is obviously extremely
difficult to extract the truth from the
conflicting statements Shroud1ng cen
eral Buffers movement, but most OF the
commentators agree that the aggregate
of the items tends to confirm the be-
lief that movements of Importance are
in progress.
1t is true that the cores ondents at
General Buffers headquarters convey
the impression that his main force Is
still south of the Tugela, but it is easily
conceivable that the dispatches are SO
censored.

cial attention to the earnings, cost of

were developed. Forinstance, it is found
that the cost of living of the home
owners is 1911 per cent of their earnings
and income, while the cost of living of
the rent payers is S7.9 per cent of their

reason the performance they give is
not a success. individually, there are
some exceptions to the general rule, but
when the exceptions become a part of

Remains of the Dead Warrior Lie In

Fort Wayne, Ind, Feb. 5.-The re-
mains of the late Major General Henry

city. mis- former home. Business was
suspended in honor of the dead hero.
A special train bearing the remains,
Mrs. Lawton and her children, Major
General VIM. r. Shafter and staff and
the military guard, arrived from Chi
cago at 730. AT 8 o'clock a military
and civic procession escorted the re-
mains to the rotunda of the court house.
Among the societies in the cortege were
Sion S. Bass Post, G. A. R., of which
General Lawton was a member, Har-
nony lodge of Odd Fellows, of which
General Lawton was at the time of
his death the oldest charter survivor.

which General Lawton was member.

viving comrades of General Lawton in
that regiment and a number of sur
vivors of the Ninth Indiana, in which
General Lawton enlisted as a private in
1861, marched in the procession. Thou
sands of people thronged the rotunda
of the court house throughout the day

LABOR SOCIETY MEETS.
Second Annual Session Convenes in
Topeka Today.

The second annual convention of the
State Society Of Labor and Industry
convened in Representative hall this af-
ternoon at two O'Clock and Will continue
in session until Tuesday evening
After the appointment of committees,
the reading of the minutes of the last
meeting, the reports Of the officers were
given. The following is from the report
of W. L. A. Johnson, secretary, and
labor commissioner:
Joined in the bonds Of fellowship in
our society by an earnest desire to eS-
tabliSh more eQuita BILE conditions amonE
the toilers, to elevate the moral and in
tellectual character, striving to educate
that great conserVatOr Of right and
justice, the public, to a greater recognt-
tiOn of the true purposes, objects and
aims Of our labor societies. Organized
labor challenges the world with that
motto which modern society has failed
to practice, An injury to one is the con-
Germ of all Labor societies ask only
justice, and the organization that is not
willing to be measured by that stan
dard, fails to inculcate in it's principles
the standard Of bona dde labor or
CARNATIONS.
Perhaps the most important action
of the abor bureau during 1S99-except
its transition from the old law under
which it was operated to the present
law-was that which finally resulted in
the supreme court decision declaring
the state eight hour law constitutional.
Soon after the law went into effect,
complaints began to reach the bureau
from various parts of the state, of
violations of the eight-hOur law. In ev-
cry instance investigation followed, and
the violators made to comply with the
law. A number of the contractors on
public works doubted the constitution
atty of the law, some of them so SER
iously as to believe that a test in the
courts would prove it's unconstitutiOn-
atty. Believing it to be advisable for
all parties concerned to know at once
whether or not the law was valid the
commissioner brought suit against
Zeigler & Dalton, contractors on a court
house at Junction City, in order that
the law might be passed upon by the
supreme court, and its provisions set
forth, which finally resulted in a deciS-
ion of the supreme court, all the JUS
tees concurring, declaring the law con-
stitutional, good and valid in every
particular.
'All the evidence gathered tends to
prove that the wage earner-the small
property holder and that all in sight
bears vastly more than his just share
Of the public burdens. 1t especially be-
