Presidential Aspirations.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Rear Admiral W. S.
schley Saturday thrice declared that he

Hamilton Club Admiral Schley said:
I wanted only to say that am simply a
sailor and that I have served you in storm
and in calm, in sunshine and in bad weather,
from pole to pole and from sun to sun. The
only motive of action has always been my
country and my people" I have no desire
to be other than sailor. I have no aspira-
ton for any civil office, however high it may
faithfully, loyalty, devotedly, and If 1 have
succeeded in doing that, the measure of my
ambition is full, and my only other ambition
is that may retain for the rest of the years
that may be vouchsafed for me your love.
your esteem and your respect.

E. Washburn Of this city, Gen. Miles says:
You desire information as to the truth or
falsity Of the newspaper reports from Wash
ington making me all active candidate for the

lutely unauthorized. They do not emanate
from myself, nor from my friends. and L
trust that the public will not be misled by
them. My ambition has ever. been to faith
fully serve my country in whatever sphere
duty may have dictated. and this will be my
sole purpose in the future.

Indianapolis, Jan. PA resolution was
introduced in the miners convention to-
day providing for the establishment of
competitive districts west of the Missis-
'sippi for the purpose of arranging agree
ments between mine workers and opera
tors there and asking that the national
executive board be instructed to call a
joint conference for these states. The
matter was referred to the executive
board. ea 49,. -
1t is expected that the anthracite min
ers will make known their demands to the
mine-workers' convention by tomorrow.
The proposition that the bituminous min
ers should not enter into new agreement
until the anthracite operators should con-
sent to recognize the organization was,
it is understood, dropped after the meet
ing of the anthracite delegates with their
officials and President Mitchell Saturday.
1t is said that President Mitchell and the
more conservative miners counseled
against this policy on the ground that it
might involve the entire body of miners
in disastrous fight. The anthracite
men, 1t is reported, will demand through
the convention IN eight-hour day recog-
milton for the union.

ELSIE OH SOS VICTORY
IN, THE RACING OF SATURDAY
Hal Watson Claimed Foul in the
TrOt-Weather Bad for
Racing.

In spite Of the bad weather, large and
enthusiastic crowd gathered a the Lake
OF the Isles Saturday afternoon to see
two of the best races Of the season. Elsie
Oh So, the big daughter of the famous On
So and Victoria Wilkes, has proved herself
lnVincible up to date, having started IN
the slow classes and marched steadily
down the line to the free for-all, defeating
the best horses in both Minneapolis and
st. Paul.
While she won the first heat Saturday
by half a length, she was pressed hard
by Private Stevens on one side and the
St. Paul mare, Oleosa, on the other. Inc
second heat was very trying to the horses
as we'll as to the spectators, but especially
so to Elsie. She and Prince Stevens came
up to the wire boiling every time, while
the balance of the field lay back and let
them wear themselves out. Olesa was
also in part responsible for the great de-
lay. Doctor H.. the other entry from the
sanity city, threw shoe while scoring,
and his driver had time to drive him a
mile, get him shod and get back to start
with the field. After this heat the
judges put up a new starter and things
went much better. The long scoring was
too much for Elsie, and she made a
tired break in the stretch, and not
recovering in time, lost all chances OF
winning the heat. Her driver eased her
up and finished last. Prince Stevens and
Mambrino Moak made close finish the
latter taking the heat by nose. Elsie,
like true sport, came up smiling and took
the next two heats as she pleased. Prince
Stevens went a creditable race and was
contending horse in every heat. sum

He would not say whether or not the Of

will be put to all the annoyance possible.
Admiral Schley's letter to Mr.. Graham

not discuss the Sampson Schley controver-
