Economics Time at Buffalo.
How to Get Five Days OF Sight Seeing at
Pan American into Three.

Those who attend Expositions often
complain of the loss of time entailed
in going to and fro between their hotel
and the grounds, and would often
spend more time and money in the
Exposition, If opportunity offered.
Travellers who intend visiting the Pan.
American this year at Buffalo, how
ever, need have no trouble on this
score. The Exposition is fortunate
on having right beside it a building
which is in itself an object of intense
interest, and one of the sights of Buffalo
we refer to Statler's Hotel on Elm
wood avenue, overlooking the grounds.
This wonderful building, although
only three stories high, contains over
2Ioo rooms and can accommodate
over 5000 guests. Its dining room
will seat 1900 people to a meal with
out crowdlng and so perfect is the
organization, management and equip
ment that parties of excursionists,
often numbering into the hundreds,
are taken in and furnished with accom-
modatlons without creating so much
as ripple of excitement. From its
towers and terraces magnificent view
is to be obtained of the whole pano-
rama of the Pan-American, while the
scene at night OF the illumination Of
the grounds as viewed from Statlers's
will never be forgotten.
The erroneous impressions so fire.

Guilty Of obtaining accommodations
and paying fearful prices for them can
all be thrown to the four winds of
Heaven, for Statler's can give you a
clean, comfortable room with break
fast and evening dinner for $500 and
$2.5o day, and guarantees to take
good care of all who come. For those
who do not care to board at the hotel,
good rooms may be obtained at SIS
per day, and frstclass meals at IS and
50 cents each may be enjoyed at
Statler's downtown restaurant in Eli
colt Square. Statler's, therefore, is a
valuable adjunct to the Exposition
and intending visitors by availing
themselves of its conveniences can
save themselves both time and money,
and greatly enhance the pleasure OF
| their trip.

There will be no fusion. That may

If the stories alleging that President
Mckinley has been convinced by the
popularity of Admiral Schley that he
has been greatly maligned by the
Sampson clique in the Navy Depart.
ment, and that it was by his express
orders that officers who could be de-
pended upon to give Admiral Schley
fair play were selected for members of
the Court of Inquiry, be true, there is
one thing more that he should do in
the interest of fairplay, and that is to
get new Secretary OF the Navy. Sec
retary Long has been notoriously anti
Schley from the beginning of the
trouble, and it is an open secret that
he will leave no official stone unturn-
ed to convict Schley of having dis
obeyed orders, as failure to secure
such conviction will be practically a
verdict of marked unfairness against
himself. Howison, the new member
of the court, has been a Sampson
partisan, if he is not now.

Comment is being made on the
marked discrepancy between the num-
Der of Filiplnos who have been cap,
tured or have surrendered and the
number of rifles. In an official docu-
ment issued by the War Department
this week the total number of Filipi-
nos captured and surrendered is given
as 4I,oa9, while the total number of
rifles surrendered and captured is only
I,2I2. 1t cannot be that 4I,o2o
Flllplnos were fighting with only I,aIa
rifles. And If the surrendered Filipi-
nos have secreted their rifles it lndi-
Gates that they expect to have use for
them again.

GREAT INTEREST IN THE RACE
Cycle Path Is in Excellent COndi-
ton for the Century Run,
and Large Crowd Is
Looked For.

W. A. Powers and c. I. Dissler will
make an attempt TO lower the 10O-mile
tandem record over the ST. Paul-Minne-
tonlla course today. They will start from
Rice lark at a. m, and expect to finish
before 10 a. m.
The cycle path is now in excellent con-
dition, and barring accidents and with
favorable weather they should clip quite
a few minutes off of the present record
held by Bird and McHrath. There Is
considerable rivalry among the different
tandem teams to hold the record over
that course, and from present indications
the team that holds the record at the
close Of the present season will have to
ride the 100 miles around five hours. A
tandem record is mUcn harder to obtain
than a record on a single wheel, for the
reason the riders obtain no pace What
ever 1t is ono constant plug from start
to finish and an accident of any kind Is
very likely to cause the riders to lose
the record. The time for the 100 miles al
present is 6W, but it is very probable
that it will be lowered today. Powers
very likely to cause the riders to lose
crs mas a record of 459:30 for 100 miles on

by the Flower City cyclists. was the INST
successful run of the kind ever hel in
Minnesota. c. j. Johnson local centurion
of the Century Road club, was pace
maker and. set as fine a pace as could be

To manage a run like the one last
Sunday requires a wheelman of expert
ence to keep the riders in line and John
son did the work nobly. There were over
three hundred wheelmen in line. The
small city of Shakopee never witnessed
spectacle of that kind before. A band
met the cyclists about one-half a mile
out OF town and paraded through the
main streets. 1t will be a long time be-
get the event.
Twenty-eight thousand people Witness
