Europe as was expected a'nd his friends on this side of the pond marvel much at this But Bode of the firm that sent John son to the other side has his theory for the reasons of the defeat of Johnson and these seem to be the most probable The tracks in France are very highly highly basked in fact that a man may not walk to the top of the turns even though he have on rubber-soled shoes zEarl Kiser wrote recently to the writer that be was scared when looked at the bankinfis for the first time and that he did not blame Johnson for being defeated Mr Bode says the Frenchmen have a trick when striking the high banking It is impossible to increase the speed on the turn and BA the wily Gaul jumps to the front and mites the bank first leading all the way A ridercannot jump on his pedals for fear of a side slip consequently the leader en tering the back stretch first and at slightly Inereatied speed cornea out in the home stretch with some two lengths to spare we will say He jumps at once into his sprint and when the man following enters the stretch he has an added distance to make up In such cases as 1 this Johnson invariably closed the gap considerably but was defeated just the same the task being too great even 11 for him It does seem rather peculiar 1 that so wily a Manager as Tom Eck should not have discovered the trick and have gone the Frenchmen one better Now that Johnson is on home tracki and among his fellows it will not take him long to come to the new order of things and undoubtedly to score at home where he could not abroad It will be strange If Tom Eck does not recover lost ground The man has never' been stumped before and he will nothe stumped this time Eck Johnson Weinig and probably some of the foreign riders will be present at the national meet Ray

correctly In only a few instances the Sentinel having been the first paper in this State to print It as presented by the Committee on Resolutions Even since that time some very venomous articles have

although this was omitted from the final draft and Inserts that as to religious liberty in the wrong position besides making many minor changes To avoid any chance of pose sible error on our part a letter was addressed to the Chicago Record whose reporter took a stenographic report of the platform as read by Senator Jones for the Resolutions Committee The reply Is given below and shows thee the platform as 'generally printed is ineorrect and also calls ettention te an amendment which has been overlooked and which Is of the greatest importance Some of the most bitter attacks made on the platform have been based on Its se-called itanction of the repudiation of obligations and the paying of the same in another coin from that In which they are contracted It will be seen that even if such legislation were Intended and the constitutionality of It were unquestioned that the Democratic Convention declares against It by ape-dial clause The letter follows: Chicago July 22 189e of the Sentinel: In reply to your letter of the 20th inst permit me to say that the clipping which you Inclose from the St Louis Republic gives the Democratic platform as it was adopted by the Committee on Resolutions on July 11 On July le however before the convention met the committee held another meeting and modified the platform which was then presented to the convention by Senator Jones of Arkansas Chair-titan of the committee in the form seen In the clipping which I enclose It is not generally known even yet that Senator Hill of New York secured a further modification of the platform by a direct and unanimous vote of the convention This modification was secured directly on the heels of the refusal to indorse the Cleveland administration and just before the convention refused to vote a one-year limit on the free coinage plan The following extract from the verbatim report of the proceedings shows this last modification: The question now was upon the amendment offered by Mr Hill to be Inserted immediately after the financial plank The amendment was read as follows by the reading clerk: "But it should be carefully provided by law at the same time that any change in the monetary

racing men refused to enter A cold contracted in such racing by any one of them would have ruined chances for the national champlonShips and none could afford to risk condition for the gaining of money The national championships are considered the most important events of the season and although there be no money involved the men woild risk money to win Cincinnati lost on its meet owing to the fact that the men refused to ride and Cincinnati then came back at the men with the declaration that money was wanted as a bonus before the men would enter No money was wanted from the Cincinnati promoters but the men did want the races run during the daytime and this the promoters were not willing to concede Reports were sent out from Cincinnati that the races had been called off all Over the State owing to the demands of the big men for bonus money but this was wit true Dayton's meet was called off tor the reason that '41a) club made $4000 so it is said on its meet of July 3 and 4 and the promoters wanted to go on a vacation at the time the National Circuit meet wfAs scheduled Every one of the prominent men was going to Dayton and there had never been one doubt of that It was remarked in press dispatches that Springfield and Iiima were also off owing to the demands of the men But no demands bad been made and Lima saw the first meeting of the five great men of the year These men came to Lima when the invitation race gave all of them a chance at a $300 prise at Manhattan Beach on the same day They went to Springfield when the city publicly announced that nobonus would be given

them as if they bad been accustemed to nothleg eh during all their racing careers Ed Winesett pedaled a balf In 1:05 without any extraordinary exertion The other men did not attempt any sprinting in the morning work but accomplished some fast miles covering mile after mile at a steady gait 'which was considerably under a 2:30 elle In the afternoon all the men worked out again in the presence of quite a number of enthusiasts Thin time several of the cracke "turned themselves loose" for a sprint Baker Eaton Wine-sett and Oldfield appeared on the track first and worked tseveral mllen together

Aleutian islands of Alaska running at large to a certain extent wild but still under care and furnishing an Industry that will if properly nothished last as a means of support to the natives of the Fur Seal Islands when the destruction of the sleek-coated denizens of the lower has been completed Thie enterprise is in the hands of several gentlemen mostly of New 'Yolk who have It would seem as much the spirit of philanthropy as of money-making Heretofore the industry has been taken care of entirely by the men connected With it at the risk of losses from poach' era and other reckless people whp think it is better to receive than to give Mr Byron Andrews connected with the staff of the National Tribune of this city is one of the 'originators of this enterprise In an interview recently he meld: "'At present the industry is really in its infancy but we have strong hopes of eventually snaking it one of such proportions that It will go a great way toward solving the problem of tlie future employment of the Alaskan naByes' when the fur-bearing animals are practically extinct In those regions It was in 1884 that certain gentlemen at that time agents of the Government took up this subject with serious consitioration "The suggention was made by Capt Thomas Morgan of Groton Conn then an agent of the Alamka Commercial Company On St Georges island that the fox might be domesticated and Under proper conditions bred with profit thus utilizing many uninhabited Wands and giving employment in a congenial business to natives who were coming to hardship by the extermination of the 9ea otter and Walrus It was finally decided by four gentlemen to subscribe $1000 each to try the experiment A small number of young foxes were bought of the natives and taken to the North Semidi Islands about 225 miles southwest of the village of Kadiak Houses were built a small colony of natives were started under the supervision of a white keeper and a year's supplies were left for their comfort "To be brief after many ups and downs the expeeiment proved a success so much so as to show that the breeding of the blue fox in domestication was practicable and from this small beginning there are now no less than twenty-two of these little colonies on as many Iolanda devoted to this business giving support to more than 100 people nearly all of whom before depended on sea otter hunting 1 "All the early settlements for the fox-breeding business were made by whites who employed natives but Within a year or two some of the more Intelligent natives who have learned the business I have taken the island and are making satisfsctory headway In this new some time we have endeavored to get a lease of some island with an Option of purchase at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury This was because of the local conditions The first requisite of the business is isolation Islands have been selected therefore that were uninhabitable so far as internal resources were concerned then too those chosen would never attract settlers by commercial advantages through fisheries timber or the precious metals These requirements however resulted In placing the establishment on a frontier infested with maritime marauders flying the nags of Japan Canada or the United States to whom these fox Islands if they may be so called might become a tempting object for raids Under these conditions those who have engaged In the besiness have felt the needcif the strongest possible title for moral effect It was apparent that it was a matter of the highest importanee that in order to avoid any ground for quibble entire islands should be recognized as under the control of the occupant and not simply a portion "These islands or at least those in the Aleutian peninsula are merely desert places most of theta like mountain peaks cropping otit of the ocean Most of them are supplied with fuel only by driftWood They are so far north as to afford so little herbage that but a small number of cattle can be kept on the best of them and on most of them none at all so that the stock-raising element does not enter into consideration to any great extent "The Treasury Department having by law an oversight of the fur business of Alaska and means to enforce the Secretary's regulations through the revenue cutters practically and morelly is the sole evidence of Governmental authority among the Alaskan islands We who have developed the Industry have always felt that we should have the protection in our efforts to reclaim the waste place that other citizens have enjoyed in the redemption of the wildernese Hence our move In this direction which we hope will be ultimately suecessful "We propose to ask Congress for the lease of the Islands of North Semidi South Semidi Ukomok Lena Island Little Koniushi Pearl Carlson Little Naked and Mamot for a tiered not to exceed twenty years The bills drawn by us provide that the Secretary of the Treasury may issue leases for such other islands in Alaska for this purpose as may seem to be in accordance witirpublie interest provided that engaged in eating for the foxes be accorded the pseference right of lease and the privilege of killing the foxes and dispcejng of their furs subject to certain fetes and regulations "Do the foxes tame readily? Well the mass of them are tame enough to come up to the great feeding troughs that we have built apparently without fear but they are generally shy as might be expected However it is a common sight to see foxes that have been thiroughly tamed lying around the houses and as Pocteble as any dog The natives have taught some of these a few tricks and derive good deal of amusement from them" ray your
