ION leaving Tashkend we went to Almaty

I'VE had been told at the latter place that
it was madness to attempt to cross China

Asia was by way Of Siberia.

Their pass seemed TO be one Of great rec
ommendation,-nde they were informed
by the Russian and Chinese officials that II
was the best that any traveller had pre-
sented passing through there.
1t was pointed out however. that the Of
fcials could not guarantee safety, although
they would do the best they could. The
authorities were as good as their word, and
sometimes the travellers %e<e provided with
an escort Of four soldiers, although the
latter were so slow that the cyclists fre-
quently pushed On alone.
Everywhere the native curiosity was in
tense, and frequently most embarrassing.

Saehtleben added that he did not think they

entered China. At Kuldja they created a
good deal OF astonishment by making a tour
OF the city on top Of the wall, and so great
was the curiosity of the people along the
whole route that they broke the hotel
windows and doors in their anxiety TO see
the strange foreigners.
Nor was there any need Of seeking an
introduction to the chief official of wnat-
ever town they might be in. As a rule he
generally sent for the voyagers as soon as
they entered his district and requested them
to give an exhibition of their abilities on the
strange machines. This they generally did
In such cases. although there were some
occasions when the riders were not asked
in this way.
In Asia Minor they were frequently
called upon TO give an exhibition before
men who were not inclined to take a re-
fusal and who wore a rather commanding
number OF revolyels and general lethal
weapons.
In China occasionally the populace of a
small town would display annoying anxiety
to witness ride just when the road was
completely unsuted for II, and to decline
meant demonstration of unpopularity,
which took the shape of mud and stones.

ritory an incident occurred which had a
certain amount OF picturesqueness and sim

of some nomadic tribe, and when saying
good-by to the travellers the tribesmen got
of their horses and uttered a solemn PRAYER
TO Allah for the strangers in their hazard

Stole a GaSiet.

The people in the vicinity of Sixth and
Harrison streets were thrown into state
of excitement last night by the cries OF
stop thief! uttered in loud voice by T..

up Sixth street. Officer Tyrop, who was
patrolling his beat at the time heard the
cries and ran up to Sixth street just in time
to catch the man.
IL seems that gang of toughs were walk

front OF the dfy-eoods store owned by NJ
A. DAILY, where Clancy is employed as a
salesman, William Burns jumped up and
pulled the gas light down in front of the

Held Tn a Sailor

Charles Anderson, a sailor, had an ex-
citing encounter with two unknown foot
pads late Monday night. and as result had
his numerous injuries dressed at the Re-
ceiving Hospital.
Anderson IS employed as deckhand on
the coasting schooner Orient which docked
at the foot of Fourth street a week ago.
Last Monday Anderson drew his paw and
at once proceeded to 60 on prolonged
spree.
Shortly after IL o'clock the same night he
was on his way to the vessel, and when he
passed the corner of Fourth and Townsend
streets. was approached by two men, who
demanded his money.
Anderson attempted to run, when one of
his assailants struck him on the head with
club and Knocked him senseess. They
then rifled his pockets. and after relieving
their victim Of S4 80 in silver, succeeded in
making good their escape.

KOhaIa Notes.

1t is interesting to notice that a
number of trees, beguiled by the
long continuance of warm weather,
are putting out their second crop of
blossoms.
Continued failure of water supply
is productive of contested water
rights, and one or two important
cases are said to be forthcoming.
Such occasions give men opportunity
to show whether their sense of jus
tice and respect for long established
rights is sufficient to override their
desire to secure private privileges at
the expense of other prior interests,
or to effect il possible a gratuitous
injury even without benefit to them
selves.
The management of the railroad
does not appear to be very polite.
There are those who think that a
little more regard for the comfort of
lady patrons at least, would not
damage the company's reputation or
their trade. A couple of seats at the
stations, suitable stands for car
riages, that would not compel an
alternative choice between the risk
of their being cramped and broken
in ditch or overrun to greater des-
truction by heavy teams in the road
way, and a decent waiting room at
Mahukona convenient of access to
the train, would certainly not entail
a great expense, while they would
add greatly to the comfort of passen-
gers and the reputation of the rail
road
