NEGRO AGAINST FRENCHMAN
The Bicycle Contest for the Worlds
Championship

Paris, May 16.-In the bicycle match
today for the worlds championship,
between Major Taylor, the colored
American rider, and Jacquelin, the
crack French cyclist, at the Paro des
Princes. in the Bots de Boulogne, JAG
quelin won two races out of three. The
third race was not run.
One of the biggest crowds ever gath
cred at a French cycling event was
present. The victory was most popu-
lar and caused wild enthusiasm. The
crowd invaded the track n Jaqucljn
was carried on the shoulders of his ad-
mirers.
There was no attempt to make fast
time. Parts of the race were done at lit
tie better than a walking pace, with a
final rush home of about 300 yards.
AS an illustration of how the race
was run, it may be said that the strug-
gle seemed to be to see which could go
the slowest, and at one point both
learned against the fence for a few
seconds. Finally, when entering the
home stretch of the second and last
lap of the first race Jacquelin suddenly
darted forward and Taylor followed
suit. They reached the winning post
with just daylight between J~acquelin.s
hind wheel and Taylor's front wheel.
~Jacquelin won the second and final
race even more easily, winning by ten
yards.

ENGLAND's VAST PROVES.

Lord Salisbury in his late speech
at a London banquet, eulogiZed the
might and valor of the British soldiers
while admitting that the war was very
sad. if glorious He is disposed to
treat the war upon the Beers as abo
the brightest page in all of England's
history. if indeed it has been written
in the blood of so many thousands OF
men. He points to the two years war
as conclusive evidence that England'S
military strength is very great, and
that the demonstration is we'll c~alculat-
ed to make other nations pause before
seeking a quarrel with her. In view
of the fact that England has a $780,
O0S men in south Africa to suppress
probably not more han 10000 Beers,
and that the war still lasts, it does not
appear to be an occasion for ecStatic
rejoicing or big Dragging. England's
prowess is much more in her vast navy
than in her army drawn from five or
six different countries, parts Of her
mighty widespread kingdom. The
northern states alone in warning
against the south with even less cause
than England had to pounce down like
a ravenous hawk upon the handful OF
Beers. put into the field the first year
over 1000 900 of men, and in the -four
years. according to it's own published
Records of the War;" it raised ar
army over 200. GOO. 1t is not an exag
geration to say that if the United

ON TOHARNEY VALLEY
Chief Engineer Says That Is
Intention Of S. V. R'y.

Joseph A. West, chief engineer and
superintendent Of construction of the
Sumpter Valley railway, and formerly Of
the Utah & Pacific, was in the city yes.
terday from Baker City, Oregon. In
conversation yesterday Mr.. West gave
some very interesting facts about the ex.
tension Of the Sumpter Valley road, and
his explanation shows that the small road
is going to gradually develop into an i'm.
portant and paying link.
Already the road has been extended TO
make total length Of about fifty miles,
and the work will not be stopped until 100
miles are completed. The road will be
pushed southwest into the rich Harney
valley and lake region Of Oregon, sec.
tion without railroad facilities. In the
Tribune recently, this section was fully
described In connection with the extension
Of the Nevada, California and Oregon.
The Sumpter Valley road will be extended
southwest to meet the NJ, C.. & O.,
which Is building northwest, and the two
will form very short route from Idaho
and Oregon to San Francisco via Reno.
They are both narrow gauge lines and
are being built econ omically. The Stump.
ter line Is owned by David Eceles, c. W.
Nbley and others Of Utah, and they have
had the foresight to greatly add to their
equipment by purchasing at a reasonable
figure all the rolling stock Of the Sanpete
Valley and Titan Central roads as soon
as they were broad gauged. This has
given the road large amount Of rolling
stock, and It now has several hundred
cars with which to meet traffic emer.
gencies.
Taking Harney valley as center, the
nearest railroad points are as follows:
North, Sumpter Valley terminus; south,
O., G. o, terminus; west, Roseburg,
Oregon, on the Shasta route; east, Parma
or Nampa, OH the Oregon Short Line.
The new line, therefore, would enter an
open field, with no fear Of any compe.
tition, and traffic results would amply pay
the promoters. The country will quickly
fill up with settlers, for It Is now sparsely
settled, owing to its remote location. The
two roads are extending quietly In the
direction Of Harney valley, and when they
meet new and interesting railroad stu.
alton will be opened.-Salt Lake Tribune.
