\ Bicycle Manufacturing Concern
 Wishes to Locate Here.
 At the board of trade meeting last night the minutes of the meeting held January 30, which were tabled at the meeting n week ago, were taken up and accepted. It will be remembered that the minutes contained a vote of the board requesting the common council to secure the services of a hydraulic engi- neer and appoint a committee of tax payers to make further investigation in regard to securing an additional water supply.
 After this matter had been disposed of C. NJ. Upson, II. w. Lake and F. B. Rice, who were appointed committee at the last meeting to examine into a proposal made hy Messrs Campbell. Hall and others of New York to establish a company in Waterbury for the manu- fracture of bicycles, were asked for their report. Mir CpSon said: Il was con suited by these parties over three weeks | ago in regard to their locating in Water | bury but did not feel like mentioning it to the board until had looked into the matter more thoroughly. l do not like | to see any new enterprise coming into Waterbury but one that Is likely to succeed. These gentlemen have a company now with S25,0O0 capital anu tIh'N are l'ItlNllCdlIN CpllluiSSlOli men in bicycles. They have three stores in first class situations for distri- button bicycles. one at the corner of Broadway and 5Sth street. and one at 3i Murray street, New York city, and one on Bedford avenue. Brooklyn. If this company Is established here this plant of distributing stores would be probably absorbed. They do not pro- pose to manufacture the entire machine as yet, but they have new ideas and in ventiuns that will enable them, they say, to turn out a machine just as strong, but much lighter than any American bicycle now made. They have examined the two or three available buildings in Wa tcrbury and think they would perfer to lease a building at first instead of erect ing one"
 After considerable discussion it was voted to continue the committee for an other week. when Messrs Campbell and Hall will probably appear before the board and give further information.

SPOKANE IN THE STUD.
Major Armstrong VIII Name His Best
Get .Seattie"

On the recent excursion to New Westminster
rendered the Chamber of Commerce by the
Great Northern Railroad Company, were Messrs
s. l. Crawford, Captain w. r. Ballard, w. l.
Adams and Major Noah Armstrong, the latter
one of the best known horsemen in the country,
the owner OF the famous horse Spokane. AS il
happened these gentlemen were thrown
together, and as the train sped the excursion
lists TO the Canadian domain, stories and
experiences were snapped and spun amid the
wreathing smoke of choice Havanas Major
Armstrong related the unfortunate incident
that ended spokane's days on the race track.
At the time Spokane met with the accident he
stood to beat the world, having been the only
horse at that time TO run from the famous
Proctor Knott "The injury TO spokane was
loss to me of over 100000" said Major Arm
strong. The horse was ruined by his trainer,
who was disgruntled and out of humor because
insisted on running the horse the next day in
handicap race for which there was $4,000
hung up, and in which the animal had been
entered The horse was quartered at the Coney
Island stables and the race was to take place on
the Sheep shead Bay track. The day before the
race was to take place a terrible storm came up
and the waves from the sea rolled on the beach
and against the stable where Spokane was kept.
As the trainer was returning to the stable with
the horse after exercising him the animal be-
came frightened at the storm and refused to
enter his stall. Being in hateful frame of
mind the trainer struck him across the thighs
with garden rake which he had in his hand.
The horse, being unaccustomed to such i'll
treatment, jumped sideways into deep ditch,
which was used to carry off water from the
stables, and ruptured the tendon in one OF his
fore legs.
81 then determined never to race Spokane
again and so placed him in the stud. He is
now quite well and could race him again If
saw fit
''The colt which 1 expected to name Seattle
provided he came up to my expectations, proved
a failure and am now waiting for the finest
colt sired by Spokane on whom to bestow that
Cherished name"

WANT AN APOLOGY.
S"P'h McAIpine, OF Olympia, May Have
Trouble With Engineers.


Captain A n. AeAlpine's thirty DAYS sus-
pension expired yesterday and today ne returns
W Ms post on the steamer 0iympian, and il Is
ai.ogether probable that the result will be the
REFUSAL OF the engineers ON the steamer and all
members OF the Marine Engineers Association.
70 work on the boat while Captain McAlpine re-
malrse on her, unless he consents to apologize
iof the part he took in the trouble which led to
the suspension
eapsain w. A Snyder, the district secretary
ana past president Of the association, was seen
last night by Posi- IETELLIGEScER reporter.
pul stated that he did not know the present
status OF the case, as he had been absent from
tue city some days and had just returned He
condemned the action of Captain McAlpine in
drawing revolver and thought that Engineer
smith, who struck the deekhand for shutting off
tue nre pump and thus brought on the trouble
was Justified in his action, as the safety OF the
passengers demanded that no one be allowed to
ne ioie with the IRE pump but an engineer
captain Snyder would not, however express N
opinion as 70 what the association contem plated
doing.
Inc secretary OF the local branch OF the asso-
ciaHon was seen, but refused to say what action
the association had taken, giving as a reason
That the business was all done in secret and he
could not dfvulge il. He did not seem to realize
that Captain McAlpine was about to resume
command OF the boat, and when pressed for an
would DO, he said they would all refuse TO work
on the boat for a time at least
from the statements OF other engineers who
were talked to casually about the affair it is
evident that association engineers are all very
much displeased with the outcome of the
trouble and propose to fight Captain McAlpine
individually by refusing TO work on any boat on
which he is master, until such time as he con-
sents to apologize for his action. 1t is believed
by the engineers that the Union Pacific Com
pany, which owns the olympian, is counting
trouble with the association.
ihe case Is the more interesting because Cap
tain McAlpine was suspended by the local board
OF United states inspectors, not for drawing his
revolver, but because he did not go further in
enforcing discipline. while the engineers
maintain he had no business to interfere at ALL
The men who were punished by the board of in
spectors for bringing on the trouble and keep
ing 1t up were: The first assistant engineer,
Henry smith, second assistant engineer, Billy
Patterson, and the first officer, J. Burns the
licenses OF the two latter having been sus-
pended Tor thirty days, and Smiths license was
revoked. The license OF the chief engineer, H.
c. Lawson, was also suspended thirty days, be-
cause he failed to enforce discipline in his de-
partment.

The Mexican Famine.

CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 30.-Riots in the states
of Durango and Zacstecas have been caused by
the scarcity and high prices of food. The scar
city of prime articles of food is daily growing
greater, and many persons, under the pretense
OF philanthropy. are bringing corn. beans, -four,
ETC., from the United States, which they expect
TO sell at exorbtsnt prices. President Diaz is
studying plans to relieve the suffering.
Tariff regulations relative to the frontier re-
main in force, as they are necessary for the well
fare of Mexican frontier towns to enable them
to compete with American frontier towns. The
natives are equally divided on the reciprocity
question. The German and French merchants,
who are in the majority, oppose it. Money Is
very tight.
