B« iHms imi Murphy Rode a Mile 57 4-5 Seconds. PACED BY A in LOCOMOTIVE Screened From the Wind by Hood on the Train—Nearly Coat Him lit« Lift — Wheel Wai Geared to 130. New York, July 8.—Charles M. Murphy, of the Kings County Wheel men, rode a mile on a bicycle, paced by a locomotive, in 57 4-5 seconds to day. His course was a two-mile boa'd track on a siding of the Long island railway. Murphy followed an engine and a day coach, the latter being pro vided with a liood, which acted as a wind shield for the rider. The board track was laid near Maywood, L. 1., and extended fiom that station two miles east, and was as nearly perfect to a level as skill could make it. Fully 8,000 people saw Mui phy make his dar ing tide. Engineer Sam Booth bad his hand on the throttle of engine 74 when the word was given to start at 5:10. The engine started at a rapid rate, and be fore 400 yards bad been traversed, was running at a rate of more than 50 miles an hour. Murphy was keeping well within the hood. As they neared the beginning of the mile stretch, the pace was a mile a minute, and a cloud of dust obscured everything from the view of the spectators, who lined the banks on either side. On entering this pace, which would test his speed, Murphy, in reply to a query, shouted: “I’m all right, send her along.” but there was no necessity foi Jiis remarks as to speed, as the en gineer was sending the big steam flyer along at top speed. The quarter was reached in 15 seconds, and the half in 29 2-5. The time for the three-quar ters was 44. At the finish, two of the watches showed 57 4 5, one 57 3-5, an other 58 and the fifth 57 3-4, which was held by Sheriff Creamer. The timers agreed that Murphy had covered the distance in 57 4-5 seconds. Those on the back platform who had watched Murphy all through his won derful ride stated that the rider’s handle bars had knocked against the rubber buffet at least six times and each time the concussion sent him back fully six feet, but Murphy always had atrength enough to regain this distance. During tbe last quarter of a mile, the rider covered the ground for the greater part fully a wheel’s length out side of the hood, but as be passed the finish lie was close up. Just then two strong men on board the train reached down and seized the rider by either arm and lifted him aboard the car in safety. Their action undoubtedly saved Murphy’s life, because he was then in such a weak condition that had he been allowed to remain on the wheel he would have been unable to control it, and a serious, if not fatal, accident might have happened. Murphy was carried to the front part of the car and laid on a cot where a physician administered to him, and in less than five minutes the cyclist was able to converse with those around him. Murphy seemed dazed at first, anil said, in answer to queries as to why he fell back so many times: “I did that so that I might not come in contact with the planks which were being torn up in front of me. ” Later on, however, he did not refer to this, but said: “Boys, I’ve felt al ways that I could do this. Now that J have done it, 1 am satisfied, and so are many otlieis. ” Before the train had reached Baby lon Murphy had regained his normal condition. Murphy rode a 28-ineh wheel, geared to 120, fi'j-inch crank hangers, and the weigiit of the machine was 20*^ pounds. GOVERNMENT OF SAMOA. Governor Not to lie Subject to Any o! the Treaty Powers. San Francisco. July 3.—The steam ship Mariposa arrived from Australia, via Samoa and Honolulu, today, and reports everything quiet in the Sa moan islands. The commission lost no time in get ting to wotk and had an interview with the riavl kings, who agreed to surrend er all arms and abandon their claims to the tliorne. Tbe commission is now engaged in writing its report. Apia is to be governed by a courcil and mayor. The judicial and diplo matic functions of the consuls will be greatly restricted and the supreme court and one law is recognized as suf ficient for the needs of Samoa. Rev enue will be raised by indirect taxation by means of increased customs duties, and the poll tax will lie abolished. A governor will be apiminted who will not be the subject of any treaty pow ers. He will be assisted by a council of three, one from each of the interest ed powers. This council will legislate for the Samoans and will Ire aided by a small body of representative Samoans. Consuls Rose and Maxse are passengers on the Mariposa. Rome of the rebels are disatisfied with the procalmation providing for a provisional government, and have de- i cline«! to give up their rifles. Fighting McCook Marries. Philadelphia, Julv 8. — Rev. Henry H McCook. 66 years of age, tire em inent Presbyterian clergyman and scientist, and Mrs. Eleanor D. Aber were married last Tuesday. Dr. McCook belongs to the fighting McCook family. Dining the civil war he aide<l in oiagmsing the Forty-first regiment Illinois volunteers and served as its chaplain. During the war with Spain he visited Cuba and did splendid work in locating end marking tbe grave* of American soldier*. GRAVES RENTED IN CUBA. i When Payment 1« Delinquent Kenidlui Are Thrown Out. Havana, July 8.—The citizens of Matanzas protest against restoring the cemetery to ecclesiastical authoirtes. It is asserted by those who are particu- larly active in their opposition that the ohurolr, though always regarding the cemetery as a leading soucre of in- come, has invariably taken advantage of the poor in connection therewith, compelling them to pay exorbitant sums when renting graves for their dead, and then, at the expiration of the terms, relentlessly disinterring the remains and throwing them into un consecrated ground. Brigadier-General Lee called upon the governor-general today with regard to future action against the thieves who have recently created so much trouble in the district of Guanajay. The prompt meautes already taken served to check the outbreak of thievery, and it is not expected that there will be much more trouble there. Nevertheless General Lee wishes to take steps that will be absolutely pre ventive. General Brooke has received a decree drawn by Senor La Nuza, secretary of justice on the advisory cabinet, by ths terms of which, for the time being, citizens of foreign countries who desire the recognition of charters and licenses shall present to their diplomatic repre sentative or consul all such documents for formal legalization. The people in Havana are deeply in terested in the reported discovery of yel low fever serum. Most of them doubt its efficacy, but they say they will give it a fair trial if oppotunity offers. They believe that if administered in minute doses it would not harm the patient. 1 HE 1 ' ' j j I Joint Pacific CliMt T.rmln.l Company. Tacoma, Wash., July 2.—A special from New York to the Evening News today says: Negotiations wilich have been pending for the past 90 days for settlement of the terms for a joint terminal corporation for the Pacific coast have been practically concluded, and the plan of organization agreed upon. Tacoma will be the center of the system, which will include various ports on the navigable waters of the North Pacific coast, where the steam ship lines of the Pacific will be cen- | tered. Active work in the carrying out of the project, which includes the Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Burlington and Union Pacific systems, will be at once begun. Another Diplomatic Crisis. The Transvaal Difficulty. London, July 3.—The Digg«r News, the Boer organ in London, prints a dispatch from Johannesburg announc ing on reliable authority that the volksraad will be asked on Monday to confirm an arrangement made by the executive council and acceptable to the British government.

Washington, July 2.—The negotia tions in London looking to the arrange ment of a modus vivendi fixing the Alaskan boundary, have again nearly reached a crisis, the several confer ences that have taken place recently between Salisbury and Choate having been dismally disappointing in results. At moments it appeared the details could be easily arranged, but it turns out that those very details cannot be agreed upon without the sacrifices of the interests of many American min ers, mainly those who are driven out of the Atlin district by the severe and discriminating Canadian laws. sb Cuban Genera! Organizing a Royalist Party. ■ OREGON MAN’S INVENTION. New York, July 3.—A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: Important tests with thorite, a new high explosive, are being conducted by the board of ordnance and fortifications at the Sandy Hook proving grounds. Little is known at the war department of the characteristics of the new explo sive. It is the invention of Professor Tuttle, of Oregon, who asserts it is per- fectly safe, and was willing some weeks ago to put a red-hot poker in a charge of thorite, declaring it could be done without causing it to explode. It is believed to have picric acid as its base. Tests of the explosive by the inventor are said to have been very sat isfactory, and it may prove to be the material the army has been seeking. Besides thorite, the ordnance depart ment of the army has been experiment ing with jovite, enimensite and dry and wet guncotton, paying more atten- iton to ti e last named explosive than to any other. So far none of them has given the results deeired before adop tion for service use. Captain William Crozier, military attache of the American delegation to The Hague conference, was instructed several weeks ago to stop in England on his way home and ascertain if possi ble the ingredients of liddite and the secret ol the fuse used by General Kitch- ner’s army in the Soudan with such excellent effect. It is untrue that he has been directed to contract for any quantity of the explosive. Military officers in England have ap parently been unable to secure all the information concerning the explosive the authorities would like to have. It is recalled that emmensite, discovered in and used by France, was kept a se cret, but this government finally ob tained infoimation of its ingredients and has been testing it for some years at Sandy Hook. Tests of jovite were made by the army officials several years ago and were not very successful. The navy department lias tested thorite with con siderable success, and if it continues to be satisfactory it may be adopted by the naval service. a NEGROES Havana, July 5.—La Lucha pub fishes a statement regarding matters which its conductors say they have been investigating and carefully guarding for several weeks, owing to tbe reti cence of those concerned and the de sire of tlie latter to avoid a premature disclosure, leading to possible failure of their plans. The paper says: "Cuba, during the hist few months, lias been a land of many surprises. The latest is the establishment of a royalist paitv. The new organization is unimportant at present, probabl numbering fewer than 50 members, bin a well-known Cuban general, whe claims to be a descendant of Charle- mange, is reported to be tire head oi tlie party, and the meeting place is usually the Inglaterza cafe. The Cu ban general in question is said to be dissatisfied witii American rule. He thinks that what Cuba needs is not a republic, but a strong hand at the helm like his own. He is of the opinion that the people of the Latin race pre fer royalty, and the possible honors accruing under monarchical regime. “Tlie Cuban general referred to is understood to deny that he is head of , the party, but there is considerable evidence that such a movement is on foot. He is the officer who was recent ly reported to General Brooke for col lecting 80 centimes from a Spanisli merchant on the groifnd that it was an ' assessment for a fund devoted to driv- mg out the interveners.” General Ludlow has been made aware of his successful attempts to collect money from gambling houses, under threats to use liia influence to have them closed if the president of the Uni ted States refused bis demands. For political reasons it has not been con sidered advisable, thus far, to proceed against liim, but he has been warned to discontinue these practices, and it is now understood that he is now much more interested in making money than in starting a new party. According to such other reports of this bombastic scheme as have leaked out, the promoter lias represented that he will persuade a majority of the al caldes to give the movement their sup port by promising to make them dukes, counts and barons. It is also in the plans to form a Cuban Legion of Hon or. Several persons who affect to be lieve that such an attempt might suc ceed, say tlie outcome will depend largely on the charm of novelty with a populace judiciously prepared to em brace the ideas. The theory is that it would be particularly acceptable to such families as already have titles of Spain and the Spaniards residing in Cuba, who, owing to buisneBS or other con siderations, have been compelled to for feit their patents of nobility. The promoters of tlie movement allege that they expect financial assistance trom these sources, as tbe plan promises to substitute equal dignities and position for these that bare been forfeited. St. Louie. July 5.—A Post-Dispatch special from Carbondale, 111., says: Union City, named from tlie fact that it is occupied by union miners, was the scene of a battle last night ubout midnight, and as a result tiie town is in ruins. The nonunion negroes and other men employed by Brush at is mines neHr Fredonia having become crazed over the killing of tlie woman yesterday, went to tbe camp, which consists of nine bouses, and opened tire on them, which was at once returned. The battle raged until the union miners ran from their homes and took refuge iu a clump of timber close to the village. The nonunion men at once applied the torch to tbe houses, and all were burned to tlie ground. After the men liad destroyed consider able property previously occupied by the union men. they moved on tlie woods, and until daylight the fusillade was kept up. No lives have so far been reported lost. MUST ROUT REBELS. Peace Will Follow Victory In the Philip pine. Says Schuruian. Manila, July 5.—Professor J. G. Schuruian, of the Unitde States advis ory commission for the Philippines, re turned to Manila today from a three week’s trip in the southern islands. He takes an entirely hopeful view of the conditions there. The intelligent and substantial citizens desire an American protectorate. The masses are awaiting tbe settlement of the war in the island of Luzon before declaring themselves. They are chiefly anxious to be undisturbed. The president ot the town of Santo Nicolas, in the island of Cebu, said to Mr. Scliurman: “We want peace, food and prosper ity. We do not wish to fight. We would be neutral. ” The president of the commission thinks this declaration fairly expresses the sentiments of tbe people in tiie southern islands of the archipelago. Many of the towns tiiere are in tbe hands of small bands of Tagals, and the people fear to indorse American rule until they are certain that Aguin- aldo must be beaten. Let them once be convinced of this, and the allegiance of the southern island«, Mr. Scliurman thinks can be secured by diplomacy. “Court of Arbitration.” The Hague, July 5. — The drafting committee on arbitration adopted this afternoon the American amendment to the code of procedure relative to a re vision of theseiiter.ee of the arbitration court in certain cases. Tbe committee dealt in the second reading with tlie motion of Sir Julian Pauncefote, head of the British delegation, to change the word “tribunal” to "court,” which wa9 adopted. So the official name is “permanent court of arbitration.” Tbe committee also passed the second reading of the first articles of Sir Julian Pauncefote’s mo tion. ■______________ A Veritable Battlefield. London, July 3.—Tbe Rome corre spondent of tlie Daily Mali says: Tbe chamber of deputies today was trans formed into a veritable battle-field. Tbe tumult was terrific.
