San Jose, OaJ.H April 20. Ddlward C.
Bald, of the Press Cycling' Club, But
falo, N. Y., Is the eenaaiUon of the day
In cycling circles. He has placed an
other, record to his credit remarka

that It was made on a "road"' wheel,

pinned their faliGh on Zetgler reckoned
without their licet. EcDwards acquitted

There Is another ymingr man of this

SEN. BLACKBURN' S CHALLENGE.
He Throws Down the Gauntlet on the
Silver Question.
Louisville, April 20. in an Interview
publi-ihed In today's Courier-Journal
Senator Blackburn, in unmistakable
terms, outlines tils position on the sil
ver question and boldly thrown d'own
"he g'auntldt to his opponents for sim
ilar candor on the same subject. With
his usual aggressiveness, the senator
almost d&ires his opponenlts to meet
him on the issue he represents, and It
may be assumed that ,fhe issue will
be promrrtly accepted.
Senator Btackburn has written with
his own hand a statement of the post
tlon on which he expects to stand or
fall in the senatorial race. He declares
his position in part as follows:
For the last 20 years, in congress and
on the stump, anywhere and every
where, I have earnestly and 4erslst-
ently Insisted upon the restoration of
the silver metal to that place In th
money system of the country which It
held prior to the passage of that dis
astrous act of demonetization m 1871.
I am In favor of opening the mints
of this country to the unlimited coin
age of the silver roaba! on cm equality
with the coinage of gold. I am opposed
to monometallism without resm'aUon,
I am a KnxAallWt. I want, and mean
to continue to tradst uPn he use of
both matals on even terms as redemp
tion money of this country. I would be
glad to see this reeuft brought about
by the aotlon of Internationa confer
ence' provided H could be done with
out deflay. I am opposed to this gov
ernment waiting for any such confer
ence to . Our experlencs wffh such
agencies has not teen such as to glvs
either confidence or hope of attainmen t
of Uvhj purpose.
I beWeve the restifk-tlon (entailed up
on us by tlhla Uerrtometlz&tlon policy) e
one half f your redemption money,
has contributed more than any eause
to bring thfts shrinkage of all values,
deipreaUoitton of all property, Otagnation
of trade, paraJyals of Industry; finan
cial troubles tn whldh we now find our
selves. While this may be true, th
restoration of silver to Its place of
unrestricted coinage and unlimited le
gal tender function may not prove a
panacea for the alls that we now suf
fer, I am convinced It will do more and
go further In thtait direction than any
one piece of legtataitfcm that han been
suggested.
I am In favor of ithe restoration of
sliver metal alt a ratio of IS to 1, be
lieving In the UglHt of expert ?nce that
covers a century, that such raltio will
establish and maintain permanently
the parity between the two metals.
THE FIRE UlfDHR WRITERS.
They Meet in San Francisco Yesterday
Without Result.
San Francisco, April 20. The board
of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific
Coast mot this morning to take final
action In regard to ithe course of pro-
cedure necessary by the continuance of
the warfare against the compact by
outside companies. The result was not
as predicted In contain quarters In so
far as the dissolution of the compact
to concerned., AM that was done was
to suspend naites In California except
In cities iwherever there are local
boards. -This will affect S'an Francisco.
The Compact of leading Insurance
companies covers seven of the western
states and territories, Including Art
noma, Oregon, Washington, Idrip, Hon
tana, Utah and California. There has
been no further trouble experienced In
keeping the underwriters together out
side this state, and here the war. has
been praotloaffly confined to this .city
and Oakland.
The result of the ruling todlay, will
be to let the convpianles thresh the
quarrel out among themselves until
they are tired of 'fighting. In so far
as reinsurance of policies Is concerned,
the out rate system has been pretty
well worked already for all it is worth.
That Is, unless It may please some..)!
the big insurance companies to insure
the city for nothing, which, of course,
they can easily do if they say the word.
The policy outlined Is one that will
prove wearing on smaller companies.
It Is anticipated that before long har
mony will again prevail among nil
concenned. ' ,
ST. LOUIS RACES.)'
St. Louis, Alprtl 20, Between 8,000 and
9,000 people attended the races at the
fair grounds association track today.
The chief event was a match between
the famous Brooklyn handicap win
ner, Dr. Rice, and the less known but
equally promising horse, Simmons. tr.
Rice drew the rail in the toss-up, and
the horses got away at the first start.
Rice took the lead, and alt the quarter
was a length ahead under a strong
pull. At the haflf he was two lengths
ahead, and ait the stretch he was one
and a half lengths ahead. The finish
was an exciting one, but Simmons
moved ahead, and finished easy by two
lengths. Time, 1:14 3-4, to the track
record for six furlongs.
