He arrived last night from the camp in Alabama_where his troops are stationed. General Wheeler said he probably would resign from the army, but his plans were not_yet definitely fixed. “If there is to be any more fighting I want to sta¥ in the army,” said the gen- eral, “but if the fighting is over I want to return to civil life.” WHEELMAN DISPLAYS ] MARVELOUS ENDURANCE Rides Over Three Hundred and Four- teen Miles Withcut Dis- mounting. NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—Frank Waller of Boston has broken the only record up to the present time in the six days’ bicycle race at Madison-square Garden, He now | holds the world’s record for continuous riding. He left his wheel at 4:10 o'clock this afternoon, having ridden 814 miles and 8 laps in sixteen hours and ten min- utes without dismounting, beulng last year’s record of 272 miles made by Steph- ne. ‘Waller took a short rest, losing two laces in the contest, Plerce, followed by iller, passing him. At the end of the | seventeenth hour Pierce was about five | miles behind Waller’s record of last year. The record made by hours to-day fellshort three or four miles of those made last year. Falls were more frequent this year than last. Eight spills occurred to-duf', but none of the riders were seriously hurt. Miiler aroused the greatest enthusiasm this afternoon by setting a wonderful pace for many laps. Fredericks, Nawn and Plerce were entirely outclassed for a while, and only the veteran Waller was able to stick to the champion and main- tain his relative position. Again and again, amidst wild cries of delight from thousands of throats, Miller spurted and tried to shake off the tenacious Waller, but the big German knew well that with two miles to the good to keep up with Miiler was his end of the game, and he held his own. | NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—The scores of the fif- | teen leaders at'3 o'clock were: INSURES PROTECTION TO FOREIGN RESIDENTS Imperial Decree Issued by the Empress Dowager of China. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—The Secretary of State has received a copy of a decree recently issued by the Empress of China having for its object the better protection of foreign residents in that country. The decree says in part: From the opening of ports to foreign trade to the present time forelgners and Chinese have been as of one family with undivided interests, and since missionaries from foreign countries are living in the interior We have decreed, not three or four times, but many times, that the local officers must protect them and that | the gentry and people of all provinces must eympathize with our desire for mutual benevo- lence; that they must treat them truthfully and honestly, without dislike or suspicion, With the hope of lasting peaceful relations. - SPAIN DEPRIVED OF TRADE PRIVILEGES | NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—A Washington special to the Herald says: It developed to-day that the Cabinet meeting held late Saturday night was for the pur- pose of discussing propositions made by Spain for trad privileges in the Philip- pines and her former West Indian pos- sessions. It was determined not to grant the concessions asked. IR e ANDREWS HAS NOT RESIGNED. Retains His Positien as Superinten- dent of 'Chicago Schools. CHICAGO, Dec. 5.—During the greater part of the day the report was current that Superintendent Andrews of the pub- lic school system, who recently came here | from Brown University, had offered his resignation, but to-night the story was denied. For some time there has been trouble between Superintendent Andrews and the Board of Education over the mat- ter of appointments, each desiring 1o possess the power of making them. There seems to be no doubt that a letter of resignation was_actually written oy the Superintendent, but it was intercepted by friends before reaching the board offi- eclally and the matter amicably adjusted. Both sides have at least signed the pro- tocol, giving the coveted power to Super- intendent Andrews, and it is believed the formal treaty of peace will be made bind- ing to-morrow. ———— ELEC1ION CONTEST FILED. Assessor Anderson of Monterey County Declares He Was “Counted Out.” SALINAS, Dec. 5—Although defeated on the official count by sixty-seven votes, County Assessor W. A. Anderson this afternoon filed a contest of the election of J. B. Bennett. Anderson alleges that in numerous precincts votes cast for him were counted for Bennett and that if a recount is made he will be elected by & plurality. The nfim for the Assessorship was one of the hottest ever known In Monterey County. It was alleged in experts’ reports that during the years 18% and 1896 An- derson was short $1800. He repald this sum, claiming the shortage was due to clerical errors. Great interest is taken in the contest. EXTENDED TOUR TABOOED. Faculty Committee Rules Against Stanford Musical Clubs. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. 5— The faculty committee on student affairs to-day refused to give the musical or- ganizations permission to make a concert tour to Denver during the holidays. The committee declared itself opposed to ex- are reported to have excited criticism be- cause of the action of certain members of the clubs. The executive committee of the student body has already given the clubs authority to make the trip and many of the arrangements have been made. The action of the faculty committee will quash the project. It came as a surprise to the clubs. T Football Craze Strikes Auburn. AUBURN, Dec. b.—Auburn has the foot- ball craze. The first match was played to-day between the high school and gram- mar school boys. Association rules con- trolled, and neither eleven was able to score. Both teams were backed by a crowd of enthusiastic supporters. R e i Divorce Couple Remarried. SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 5—Dr. Donald McC.

JOENSON EAT HORSEP Dr. Johnson in his journal mentions the interesting fact that he had on a certain day had ‘“palfrey for dinner.” Now these three words have caused not a little trouble to the critics, and for this rea- son, that they know not what palfrey really is. It has been suggested that pai- frey is a clerical error made by the doc- tor himself for pastry. But the doctor wrote so leglbly, and there is so much 1! different strain. | we extract a few lines {s dated Nor- difference between the words palfrey and pastry, that his position is not at all ten- able. " Palfrey is defined in Johnson's cele- dictionary as ‘'a small horse fit ' and some have thought that the doctor (whose feats as a trencher- man were notorious) may have broken a record on the day In question and dis- posed of a small horse. All these and other conjectures are wrong, and we will proceed to give the correct explanation. The word palfrey (sometimes pam(rar by the interchange of 1 and m) is stiil in use among the rustics of Scotland and the North of Ireland, and means young cabbages when they first come to table in the spring. Such cabbages have not begun to ‘‘close,”” or become solid in the center. They are generally spoken of as “early pamfrey,” and are considered a luxury. Dr. Johnson probably picked up the word from his friend Boswell, or from some other Scotch acquaintance.—Notes and Querie: —_————————— WANT THE RUINS REMOVED. Merchants in the Vicinity of the Baldwin Ask Chief Sullivan to Take Action. The growing dissatisfaction of the pub- lic over the fact that tottering walls of i the Baldwin Hotel are yet standing, a menace to the lives of crowds of neople who hourly pass the place, has culminated in an appeal to Chiet Sulllvan of the kire Department. The petitioners state that E. Baldwin refuses to permit the dan- gerous walls to be removed, and request Chief Sullivan to take the work in hand, The following merchants, whose places of business are in the neighborhood of the unsightly ruins, have signed the petition: Percy Beamish, Alfred Lilienfeld, John Farley, Nolan Bros.

Epistles Written by the Apostle of Methodism to His Wife. All the world knows that John Wes- ley’s marriage was more or less a fail- ure, and some very interesting letters bearing on the subject will be sold at Messrs. Sotheby’s next month. They extend from the year 1751 to 1778. The earliest is dated from Tetsworth, March 27, 1751, and that is written in a very affectionate style: “Oh, how can we praise God enough for making u: helpsmeet for each other. I am utter- ly astonished at His goodness.” Seven years later he was writing in a very The letter from which wich, December 23, 1758: “I was much concerned ye night be- fore L left London at your unkind and unjust accusation. You accused me of unkindness, cruelty and what not. And why so? Because I insist on choosing my own company! Because I insist by conversing, by speaking or writing, with those whom I (not you) judge proper. For more than seven years this has been a bone of conten- tion between you and me, and it is so still. For I will not. I cannot, give it up. But then you will rage and fret, and call me names.” Nineteen years later (September 1, 1777) the reverend gentleman again re- turned to the attack:. ‘“Some years since, without my consent and knowl- edge, you left me and settled at New- castle. I received you again without any terms, nay, without any acknowl- edgment you had gone wrong. Two vears ago you left me again, without my consent or knowledge. A few days since I met you, and (to my great sur- prise) you seemed willing to return. But, it may be asked, what reparation are you either able or willing to make?” ‘Writing eleven months later from Bristol (October 2, 1778) he observes: “As it is doubtful, considering your age and mine, whether we may meet any more in this world, 1 think it right to tell you my mind once for all without either anger or bitterness.” After al- luding to the fact that his wife left him without his consent or knowledge, he goes on to observe: - “Ever since (and, indeed, long before) you have made my faults the constant matter of your conversation. Now, sup- pose a husband has many faults, is it the part of a prudent wife to publish (my real or supposed) faults, not to one or two intimates only (though, perhaps, that would have been too much), but to all Bristol, to all London, to all Eng- land, to all' Ireland. Yea, you did whatever in you lay to publish it to all the world, thereby designing ‘to put a sword into my enemies’ hands.” " The apostle of Methodism concludes thus: *“If you were to.live a thousand vears vou could not undo the mischief that you have done. And till you have done all you can toward it I bid you farewell.”—London Telegraph. —_———— HAS KILLED 6000 DOGS. The local dog killer was telling his story the other day. The man who was assigned to slaughter all the stray dogs that drifted to the pound was a member of the police force, and he says his record has passed the six thousand mark. To kill 6000 dogs in the course of an ordinary run of work is not a record to be made easily, and the killer thinks that he has :he largest list to his credit in the coun- Ty, “I have always killed the dogs with a parlor rifle,” said the official executfoner for canine prisoners, “and owing to the fact that I am considered a good shot I have had the bad luck to get the detail a great many more times than I would have ..<ed. .Many a time have I gone to the pound and found forty or fifty dogs waiting there to be shot, and the minute I would enter they would seem to know my mission and try to avoid me. I always used a small rifle, and it was therefore necessary to hit the dogs square in the brain in order to kill them quickly and with as little pain as possible. I would have to whistle to the prisoners to_look at me so I could get a falr aim. Well, they would understand what I wanted so wel{ that they would turn and hang their heads against the wall. Many a time have I left the gen sick at heart with myself and my job. “The most disagreeable experience I ever had was with a little black and tan terrier. There were forty-flve dogs in the pen one morning when I went in, and half an hour later not one was on his feet. 1t was customary for us to go about and kick the dogs after they had been shot to see if they were dead, and I was dolng this when the little terrier jumped up an made a break for llbm’t{. He had been ‘possuming,’ and he was the deadest look- ing dog 1 ever saw until I kicked him. When the terrier got to the gate and found it locked he made a dash around the circle, whining pitifully, and my heart failed me. “The fact is T would have lost my job before 1 would have shot that little dog, and as he came around again I called to the gatekeeper and we let him out. He flew down the street when he was free from the pound. That happened while Captain Golden was Chief, and I knew he was strict about such matters, so I felt uneasy about letting the dog go, ‘When I told him of it, however, he said he would h: discharged me had I killed the terrier. All the stray dogs found in the streets here are sent to the pound, and if the owners do not pay a flne and claim the property the police executioner is called out.—New York Sun. THE SIKHS. Sir Lepel Griffin has placed on record his conviction that the Sikhs form the backbone of the Indian army, for the fol- lowing reasons: Ghurkas, though at least equally valuable as infantry, are by no meas 80 g}entitul, and are an independ- ent race. Pathans are apt to become homesick and dislike to be stationed at any great distance from their native jand. Diincuuy is experienced in enlisting pure Ruj‘puu in any number. But the gikh Y8 always ready to enlist and to undertake duty across the *“‘Black Water," even should that duty be to fight an epidemic in Hon%kong or to chase Arab slave deal- ers in Central Africa, if only he be well aid. He is equally good as horse or oot, at defense or in attack. He appre- clates the value of discipline and is de- :‘oted to his duty.—Gentleman’s a- ne. Near the village of Cathcart, England, is a little monument which marks the spot where, on Mg 18, 1568, )Kui/ iuean of Scots watchy the battle of angside.

ILL TREATMENT CLAIMED | THE PATRUNS OVERCHARGED, ABUSED AND ROBBED. Circulars Warning Prospective Pas- | sengers Against the Company Freely Distributed in Chinatown. The Chinese do mot like the Occidental and Orijental Steamship Company, and are making an effort to have all members of their race boycott the new line. Circulars in the Chinese language, head- ed “Warning to the Public” and signed by “Those who have suffered,” have been scattered broadcast over Chinatown dur- ing the pgpst week, and the charges against the steamship company made in the circular have caused considerable comment among the Celestials. The peo- ple are advised not to patronize the “‘new company,” as the O. and O. is termed, on account of the ill treatment given the Chinese passengers. This circular is sim- ply an open expression of the opinion held of the company ever since it started. “For some time past,” a prominent mer=- chant in Chinatown said last night, ‘“‘there has been considerable complaint from theé)eople arriving here from Hong- kong, and the stories of abuse and over- charge which they have told has caused a great deal of talk, and now a large pro- &oruan of the Chinese going back to (ongkong are taking the coast steamers up to Victoria and there embarking for China on vessels of some of the routes leading from there.” The chief complaint set forth in the cir- cular is that the passengers are abused by the crew. The authors of the dodgers fur- ther claim that the company refuses to al- low its passengers to carry all of their be- longings as baggage, charging freight for all but one bundle and a blanket, and they say at the end of the voyage the owner is a lucky man if he is able to find his belonglnfs. One instance of many fis sighted {n the case of a Chinaman who left here on the Belgic last month. A trunk in which was packed considerable wearing apparel of value and several hun- dred dollars in gold was taken from him and sent below as freight.
