A BICYCLE CONGRESS.
WEEK OF STRANGE COSTUMES AND NEW
DRILLS FOR DENVER.
Co1sy to Thank the Riders for Sympathy-ons

Sesn Will End this National Session.
Copyright, fs94.l


DENVER, COL, July 19.-Most per-
sons are accustomed TO looking upon
the riders OF bicycles as people VINO en-
JOY healthful practice-scarcely more
That the wheel is becoming one OF the
most potent factors in the settlement OF
such questions as international aroitra-
ton, woman's rights and the like, Is an
idea hard to grasp. There seems to be
no connection between these things at
first sight. But anyone who only casu-
ally follows the proceedings OF tue COM
ing international concourse OF wheel
men at Denver next month will see why
this is so.
In the first place there will be not
only a gathering OF men eminent as oi-
cycle riders-the delegates number
thousand from all parts OF the country
apart from other thousands who are TO
participate unofficially in the doings-
but representatives OF the militias OF
twenty States will attend In the interest
OF the movement for the development OF
the wheels possibilities as an instru-
ment OF war. Ia addition the
convention will be attended by
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1894-07-22

numerous committee from the
league for the reform OF woman's
dress. The ladies, carrying, as they
will the idea OF dress reform to the ex-
tent|of appearing in Denver and before
the convention there in trouserettes
and silk stockings, known as the New
Zealand costume ara expected TO create
something in the nature OF sensation.
1t is interesting, too, TO note that Gen
eral" Coxey will also attend the conven-
ton, and is to deliver an address on
good roads, so that altogether the
wheelmen will find their bicycles have
become very important factors In vari-
Gus problems Of social evolution.
To begin with the soldiers side OF It,
Mai Gen. Nelson A. Miles Is taking q
personal interest 10 this convention,
and In a letter 10 Mr.. Gustav Kobbe,
the eminent authority on the subject OF
bicycles In war, he declares that the
bicycle is destined to be OF great value
In military operations, and that the
Proceedings of the wheelmen at their
meetings can thus be said 10 form al
most a chapter in tactics. He declares
that the next step In our military de-
yelopment will be the formation OF
body OF fifty thousand men scattered
over the States, forming an army OF
bicycle riders, when drilled, that would
prove practically invincible In case OF
hostilities.
The general, however, does not rest
content with mere predicting, and at
his command at Fort Sheridan, H., In
the department of Missouri, is drilling
the military bicycle detachment for the
benefit OF the Denverites this August.
The men go through the customary
drills with their machines, the KNAPP
sacks being strapped to the shoulders
OF the men, as in infantry drill.
Equally eminent IN this way is Major
Howard A. Giddings, brigade signal
officer OF the Connections national
quard. The men under his command
are expected to make fine showing on
parade, and are now daily drilling for
the bicycle turnout. There are forty
men in Major Gidding's corps OF soldier
bicyclsts, divided into sections under
the orders OF lieutenants. This body OF
riders, according to Mr.. Kobbs himself,
shares with an English corps, the
Twenty-sixth Middlesex, which is one
hundred ana twenty strong, the honor
of being the most thoroughly equipped
command OF military wheelmen In the
world.
"Cyclist soldiers" and military cy-
cllsts" are the accepted terms for this
new order OF soldiers. The uniform to
be worn at the Denver gathering Diff
fers slightly from that Of the regular
infantry. A pair OF leggings are con-
spicuous features Of IL, aud the rifles,
instead OF being slung across the back,
are adjusted TO the machine. The pneu-
matt: tire is discarded 10 military cy'
cling, as even the slightest damage TO
IL might prove serious to the wheels
efficacy in drill and In action.

enemies the chance to say, as they old
before, that the change was made
while United States troops were pres
ent to intimidate the Royalists. Not
the slightest demonstrations was at
tempted by the supporters OF the ex-
queen.
A few evenings before the fourth the
Royalists had a mass meeting, at whicn
about 600 were present, and passed
resolutions protesting against the FORM
ing of the republic, claiming that Pres-
ident Cleveland had not yet answered
the petition sent by Liliuokalani to De
restored to the throne. Copies OF THIS
resolution were sent TO the representa-
tives Of foreign governments with the
request that they should not recognize
the republic. 1t had no effect In that
way, however. as all these representa-
lives have recognized it, with the. ex-
eeption OF Minister Woodhouse, the
English Minister Resident, VINO simply
stated that be would inform his govern
ment of the change.
On the evening of the 4th the anneXa-
tlonists held big mass meeting for the
purpose of ratifying the new constltu-
ton. 1t was a most enthusiastic meet
ing. The 4th was celebrated in true
American style. the double holiday
making it peculiarly day Of joliication
for Americans. Captain of the Marines
Cochrane. of the Philadelphia, delivered
the Grafton. He showed himself an an
nexationist, opening his speech by say
ing that he hoped soon TO be able TO call
. FalInvu ThFnnO H.
out his Grafton he lauded the provisional
government and It's supporters. Admiral
Walker and his staff were present
and the ad miral evidently Endorsed the
speech of Capt. Cochrane. He was also
at the executive building at the time OF
the promulgation, though not OH cially.
The republic having beeu launched
Minister Thurston will probably return
TO Washington soon. He was not pres
ent on the Fourth, having gone to the
volcano.
One Of the royalist papers, the HoI-
o1nnd, which has been rabid supporter
of the ex.queen, has changed its policy
and is advising all royalistS TO take the
oath OF allegiance to the republic and
acknowledge that the cause OF the ex-
queen is dead.
A royalist commission, consisting OF
Samuel Parker, II. A. Wideman and
John A. Cummins, leaves for Washing
ton on the Rio Janeiro this afternoon.
Ii is their intention to go to Washing
ton at once and try to obtain an inter-
view with the President with the idea
of forcing him to give them an answer
as to what he intends to do in the Ha-
waliau matter. Their expenses have
been paid by prominent royalists here
and they carry a secretary with them.
Parker and Cummins are half Hawaiians
but Wideman is a German. The royal
lists here have great hopes OF the COM
MISSIONS success.

SUIT FOX $1,000, 900.
An Action Brought Against Russell Sage
and the Gould Estate


New YORK, July 21.-The Kansas
Pacific bondholders' committee, of
which Silas 2. butcher is chairman, has
entered suit in the United States Circuit
Court for New York, in the name Of
John Quincy Adams against Russell
Sage and the estate OF Jay Gould to
recover S11, 900, 600, being the proceeds
OF securities alleged to have been taken
from the trust.
Under the deed OF trust executed to
Sage and Gould about $4,000, 900 OF the
capital stock of the Denver Pacific
Railway Company was deposited with
the trustees as collateral security for
the payment of the Kansas Pacific con-
solidated bonds. These securities have
been, it is charged, taken out OF the
trust and the proceeds applied by the
trustees 10 their individual benefits.
The latter claimed to have obtained
title to them through suit which they
instituted IN the name Of the Kansas
Pacific Railway Company, which was
controlled by them, against themselves.
All that they alleged in these proceed
ings, IL is commended, was that the Dem
yer Pacific stock was of little value
and that the mOrtgager company would
like 10 have il.
Upon these allegations they obtained
an order from Judge Donohue, OF the
New York Supreme Court, to take trust
stock out Of the trust and turn it back
TO the railway company. The company,
thereupon, it is alleged, handed the
stock or the proceeds thereof over to
Gould and Sage, who, it is alleged, have
retained it for their personal purposes.
1t is asked that the Gould executorsiand
Russell Sage be called upon to account
for the funds, aud that Sage and George
J. Gould be removed from the trustee
ship.
