FREELAND, PA., JUNE 29, 1899. End of tho Eleventh Year. The TRIBUNE today closes its eleventh voluino and adds another year to Its life. Little need be said on this occa sion, beyond acknowledging to our patrons our appreciation of their valued assistance in building up this institu tion and assuring them that the paper and the publishers will endeavor to continue worthy of the very generous support given during the past twelve months. We believe that both advertisers and subscribers of the TRIBUNE, as well as the patrons of tho printing depart ment, have received full value, never theless the publishers feel that their | thanks to the public in general are in place on this occasion, and we tender i them fully and without reserve. As in the past, the TRIBUNE will con tinue to publish all tlie local news of Its field without bias or partiality. Its com plete and comprehensive reports of every public affair, meeting and gathering will romain one of the features of its columns. In private and personal matters proper discretion will be used, as heretofore, but nothing which its readers ought to be informed upon will be suppressed. Loyalty to tho town will hold as prom inent a place in its columns as it has sinco tho first issue appeared, and its aid and assistance may be confidently looked for in every movement that will advance the town or its people. In its editorial columns tho publishers will continue to state their opinions clearly, forcibly and without fear or favor, whether the subject discussed shall be one of local or general import ance. In short, the TRIBUNE will bogin its twelfth year on tlie same linos which it followed from its inception. The prin ciples and paths of the past have won it the confidence of the community, and from these thero has arisen a patronage which has made tho TRIBUNE that which overy newspaper should be —its own master. King's Faith In Filipinos. Brigadier General Charles King, who returned from tho Philippines a short titno ago, in a letter published on Tues day states that the capability of the Filipinos for self-government cannot be doubted, and if given a fair start they could look out for themselves infinitely better than our people imagine. He says they rank far higher than the Cubans or the uneducated negroes to whom tho United States has given the right of suffrage. Inasmuch as General King is not a disgruntled American, nor a small Amorican, nor anything else but an American who served his country faith fully in three wars and who knows right from wrong and is not afraid to condemn the wrong, and his record as an historian and war writer makes his opinion unassailable, his words ought to count for more than the statements of expansionists and land-grabbers who get their information through censored telegrams from libelers who dare not let the light of publicity shine on their murderous work in the Philippines. _ Nine-tenths of the published rot about tho Anglo-Saxon race is written by peoplo who have not a drop of Anglo-Saxon blood in their veins, but it Is tho passing fad to say nice tilings about that race and ignorant scribblers imagino they are complimenting the country by referring to it as an Anglo- Saxon nation. Uncle Sam has many burdens to bear these days, but few are more galling than the false position which lie is being placed in before the world by writers who know so little of their country's history as to call the: American people a branch of the Anglo- Saxon race. The Pottsvillo lie public tin makes the interesting statemont that ex-Senator J. J. Coyle, who is under indictment for attempting to bribe members of the legislature in tho Interest of Matt Quay, is being carried on tho rolls of tlie hanking department, at the rate of $lO a day as a bank examiner, without be ing required to do any work. Where is the criminal who wouldii't be a Quayitc?

I!.* M h •#'. The German War Department re quires that all military cyclists shall have knowledge of their machines suf ficient lo take them apart and put them together again as well as know ing how to make any ordinary repairs. It is the idea of the official* to place the cycle section upon n practical basis and to prevent If possible, by these precautions, any delay on the march. Vaseline as a lubricant, for bearings Is becoming popular, and not unreason ably so. There Is a mistaken impres sion, however, iiint it Is necessary to take the machine to pieces to insert tlie vaseline. Such Is not tlie case, all that is necessary being that the vase line shall he heated in any kind of suitable reeoptnclo. When it heroines liquid it should be poured into the or dinary oil can and then injected into Ihe boatings. It not only lubricates, but forms a film around the cups which prevents the entrance of dust. NO CHAMPION HORSED I RUNNING OF TWO-YEAR OLDS MAKES SELECTION IMPOSSIBLE. Nuon of 181>9 Well Advanced and Yet No One la Able to Say 44 There It the Horse •f the Year"—Sauae Conditions Eiltl With Three-Year Olds. The season of 1800 Is pretty well ad vanced by this time, yet no one is able to pick a two-year-old out of the bunch that has shown and say "There is the champion of the year." The situation is the same in the three-year-old divi sion. The two-year-olds are running in and out with delightful abandon. Doublet, when be won the Juvenile in such commanding fashion, was be lieved to be one of the best, but, when Bis Highness came back and beat liim, then it became evident that some mistake iiad been made and that Gid eon A Daly were to furnish the cham pion after all. Then along conies Pupil to trim Ills Uoyal Highness, and a subsequent defeat in the Expectation lowered the Gideon & Daly colt still further in the public estimation. Doublet made bis third appearance and was lmdly beaten and now he is a fallen idol. The writer likes High Order and Vul caln as the pick of those that have thus far been seen in public. High Order won his first race with out auy effort. He wou the Hudson stakes in the same easy style, beating a good field in Marlbert, Withers, Doublet. Prince of Melbourne and oth ers. It is true lie carried no weight to speak of. but be runs like a race horse and will prove himself one of the best two-year-olds of the year If the writer is not greatly mistaken. He is very poorly engaged, which is a pity. He lias not a single stake en gagement at Sheepsiieiul ami the Hud son was his only engagement at Grave send. It seems queer that he should have been entered iu this single stake out of the two meetings. Vuleain has been unfortunate. lie showed his quality in the Expectation when, from a bad start, he ran a cracking good race. But he had the misfortune to be cut down, and a fur ther mishap occurred when he was struck iu the eye with a clod of dirt. While these two colts appear to be the best of those that have tlitis far been seen, it is not to be thought that they are Ilnmburgs or Dominos, it is probable that there will be a good aver age class which will make good rac ing and promise a strong three-year old division in 1000. Filigrnne is probably the best of the three-year-olds, but, in order to prove ills claim, lie must meet and defeat Jean Beraud. The latter is likely to improve his form which measured by Half Time, eannot be considered par ticularly good. Half Time has been conceded weight and been beaten by Kthelbert, Filigrnne and I^otharlo. This last named horse is a. puzzle. His performances up to recently were very bad, and it seems odd that his owner should have known exactly when he was good and pro lit by that knowledge to the extent of winning $">0,000. The stewards might have asked a few questions concerning this sudden improvement in form. A great many people thought Pittsburg Phil had se cured a gold brick, but it turns out upon assay that the real dust is found. Fl P 1,.,/ ('oni Off In Colnrntln. The Gohrado tight promoters are getting re/dy for business in July, when thy pugilistic law goes into ef fect. 'lflie first tight of any promi nence Y'ill probably be between "Joe" Choyuskl and "Kid" McCoy. The man agement of the Colorado Athletic Club of Denver has offered a $5,000 purse, and McCoy, who is now in Denver, htis accepted the offer. Choynski, when the proposition was made to him. wits under the impression that it was to he a finish light instead of twenty-five rounds. According to my latest ad vices he was considering the offer, holding out for a $1,500 losing end and $250 expenses. A fight between McCoy and Choyn ski is one of the few good attractions to he hud. One of the New York ('luhs at one time was on the point of offering SIO,OOO for it. If the Colorado people get it for less they are extreme ly fortunate. The prospect of another tight for the light-weight championship of the world is more than bright since "Kid" Lav tgne and Frank Erne have signed to meet on July 3 under the auspices of the Hawthorne Athletic Club, of Buffa lo. Botli were dissatisfied with the result of the draw tight which took place at Coney Island last Hummer. 7t is hoped that the Hawthorne Club people will be more successful in hand ling this tight than they were when Erne and Lavignc were matched by them to light on a previous occasion. It may be stated, however, that some slight differences with the authorities have been adjusted satisfactorily, and there will lie no interference on this occasion. Mnking I,*** for lVliealman. During the past winter the various state divisions of the League of Ameri can Wheelmen were partk ularly ac tive in working for legislation favor able to the interests of wheelmen. This work included the passage of bills for betterment of the public high ways, requiring railroads to carry bicycles ns ling gage, provisions for the building of side-paths, and the defeat of all bills intended to injure cycling interests. The most Important of these meas ures was the successful result of a popular vote in Minnesota to allow the slate to assist in the building of roads. Under the laws of the state the legis lature diil not have power vote ap preprint ions for the purpose, and a constitutional amendment v/as neces sary. This was carried by a very large majority, the people speaking In no un certain tones their wishes in regard to road building. .Jn New York and Pennsylvania laws were passed pro viding for the appointment of side path commissioners, under whom the cycle paths throughout those states will be built. A law preventing six days races was passed in New York and one making n bicycle not subject to execution was passed in Colorado. Fourteen stales now carry bicycles ns baggage, without extra charge, nnd some others have voted appropriations for side-piitns. Seven states now have highway improvement commissioners who have charge of nil read building within their Jurisdictions and seven teen have made appropriations for, road work. _ ALASKAN GAME, , Th Enllre Territory Hm Both Game and Fish In A bundance. But little Is kno vn in detail of the fishing und shooting localities in Alas ka, although the entire Territory abounds with both game and fish. Im mense numbers of saimon, trout, cod, | halibut, eulachon or candle fish, and other saltwater fishes are caught near the shores. Mountain sheep and goats, bear of three varieties, elk, wolves, foxes and the smaller fur-bearing ani mals are in great numbers. The tribu taries of the Yukon Klver abound in grayling, and trout are abundant in all the streams of the interior. This river rises in the Britsh possessions and runs through nearly the entire Terri tory in a northerly direction. In addi tion to the grayling, which is the typi cal fish known as Back's Grayling, the cutthroat trout or black-spotted trout (Knliuo Clarkii) is very abundant. It descends to salt Mater and grows to a very large size. The rainbow is al so found, and the lake trout or togue has been discovered in the waters of Alaska, but is said never to visit salt water. Kanai Valley, where the Ka uai Biver rises, is probably as fine a bunting and district as exists in the territory, or anywhere on the continent- It is reached via steamer I to Cook's Inlet, and then by rowboat to Long Lake, a distance of 155 miles from the mouth of the river. The near by streams from any stopping point on the steamship routes give abund ant sport for visiting anglers and fruitful results to the field sportsmen, both of whom, when visiting Alaska, are advised to apply for routes (from , San Francisco or more northern j points) at the offices of the Western trunk fines located in the large citifs ' of the East or West. The sportsman tourist cannot. Jiowever, fail to find i excellent sport where\ er lie may be in i the Territory. I Sll Arn of N>w Defender. ( | A comparison of the plans of the ! sails of the Columbia and the Defend , er, published herewith, will give some idea of the enormous spread of canvas , the new yacht will carry. In the plans the full lines show the sail spread of , the Columbia and tiie dotted lines that of the Defender. This is the first time that a comparison of the sail spread , of the two boats have been published. ' When the Defender was raced, three years ago, it was thought that iu sail area she had alnioxt reached the limit, lint it M ill lie seen tlu>4 Herreshoff has given to the new boat about 15 per , cent, more spread than the champion of 181)5. On the waterline the two , boats are about the same length, but in over all length the Columbia is seven feet longer. Her ballast has ( been so adjusted that It is expected that she M ill be able to carry the In creased spread easily, and it is possi ble before the cup races are sailed the Columbia will linve her sail plan , enlarged. This was done in 1805 with the Defender, and if Herreshoff lias been as conservative in his figuring this year as lie was then it Mill be done again. All the spars on the Columbia are | from two to five feet longer than those 011 the Defender. The main boom is about three feet longer, the gaff about SAIL PLANS OF THE DEFENDER AND COLUMRIA. (Full Lines: Columbia —Broken Lines: Defender). five feet nnd the topmast five feet The mast, too, is longer, so that the main sail M ill lie about three feet longer 011 the foot, five feet longer on the gaff and about two feet more hoist. The triangle of the head sails is a little longer 011 the base and about five feet more in height, so that the jib, jibtop sail and staysail will lie much larger than those carried on the Defender. The club topsail will be larger. This increase is made possible by the top hamper of the boat having been made as light as possible and by the wclghta beloM- the waterline having been con centrated very low. The clubs for the topsail will lie about ten feet longer than those on the old boat, and when the topsail Is set any light breeze that may be floating about Mill drive the Columbia when they M ill pass over the Defender. The sail spread of the new boat will be near to 13,500 square feet, and although she will displace more water than the old one, it is thought that the extra sail spread Mill make her much faster. The dimensions of the Columbia and her spars are: Length over nil, 131 feet 0 inches: load Mater fine 80 feet 0 inches, beam, 24 feet; draught, 2 feet; must, 107 foot 6 inches: deck to hounds. 77 feet.; boom, 100 feet 8 inches; gaff, 70 feet; bow sprit, 38 feet: topmast. 64 feet; spin naker boom. 73 feet; Hail a*ea, about 13,500 square feet ('omriil* Ml no.
