RODE FOR CHINESE
Two American Bicyclers In Asia
Give Exhibitions.
They Were Compelled TO Dash Into the
Cities and Lock Up Their Wheels
to Escape the Vast Crowds
of Curious Natives.

On entering Chinese city we always
made it rule TO run rapidly through
until we came to an inn, and then lock
up our wheels before the crowd could
collect, write Thomas G. Allen, Jr.,
and William L. Sachtleben in the Cen
tury, continuing their narrative Of

however, was too large and intricate
for such naneuver. We were obliged
TO dismount in the principal thorough
fare. The excited throng pressed in
upon US. Among them Yves China
man who could talk a little Rus
sian, and who undertook to direct US to
a comfortable inn at the far end of the
city. This street parade gathered TO
the inn yard an overwhelming mob,
and announced to the whole communi-
ty that 1.-The foreign horses" had come.
1t had been posted, we were told, a
month before, that 1.-TWO people of the
new world" were coming through on
strange iron horses" and every one
was requested not TO modest them. By
this, public curiosity was raised to the
highest pitch. When we returned
from supper at a neighboring restaur-
ant, we were treated to a novel scene

bales of cotton, and huge cart-wheels
to keep out the irrepressible throng.
Our host was agitated to tears; he
came out wringing his hands and
urging upon us that any attempt on
our part to enter would cause rush
that would break his house down. We
listened to his entreaties on the condi-
ton that we should be allowed to
mount to the roof with ladder, to get
away from the annoyiA,; curiosity of
the crowd. There we . through the
evening twilight, while the crowd be-
low, somewhat baked, but not dis
Douraged, stood taking in every move.
Sightfall and 4 drilling rain came at
last to our relief.
The next morning a squad of soldiers
was dispatched to raise the siege, and

At two o'clock Tuesday morning,
when all the people living on College

there was commotion in one of the
beautiful mansions along that thor

chant, and the oommotion broke loose
in the sleeping apartment Of himself
and wife. She started it.
She awakened suddenly and thought
she heard some one trying to break in
downstairs. She shook her husband
and, after some time had elapsed, sue

some noise sure enough, and a cold

The Tariff Bill Passed.

The House Oh last Monday ac-
copied the Senate amendments and
passed the tariff bill as 1t had
passed the Senate. The House
passed this bill, not because they
endorsed ii, but simply because
there was a nest of traitors in the
Senate who had conspired to defeat
all tariff legislation, and this was
the only way by which these pur'
chased traitors OF the people could
be defeated.
The House evidently did the best
they could under the circum
stances. Bills giving free coal,
free iron ore, free sugar, and free
barbed wire passed the House the
same day and are now in the Senate
for action. The fight agsinst mo-
nopollsts and trusts has been in
augurated. The sugar trust, by
the aid of few traitors in the
United States S, nate, may be able
to accumulate a few millions by their
robbery of the people, but their
days are numbered. The people
of the United States will yet get
even with the men who have be-
trayed them and will in due time
ush out the robbers who have
been living upon the blood OF the
labOring masses.

The Right Must and VIII Win
Let no honest Democrat, no
siucere tariff reformer lose heart.
or coura &c bCca use of the action
of The house of Re representatives. in
accepting the thoroughly odious
and deiestaGle Gorman'Brlce-
Havemeyer Tariff bill. That &C
ton simply transfers the field OF
discussion and the forum of deci-
sion to the popular arena. The
House is not the less on record as
thoroughly opposed to the Senate
BIZ, because it finally accepted IT.,
when convinced that further re-
sistance would be futile. The
appeal to The people Is scarcely
less direct, than if the two Houses
had agreed to disagree. The re-
sponsibility for the failure OF the
Bill to meet either the require
ments of the Chicago Platform or
The Just demands and expectations
of the American People rests pr
marily upon the Republican Senate.
After the revelations OF The
present session no man will heel
tate where or how to class the
Senate, who made the passage OF
a genuine tariff reform bill I'm
possible, and who gave their votes
if they did not sell them, to the
protected MnnOpoiies and Trusts.
Against them, and not against
the Democratic Party, will the tide
of popular indignation DE properly
directed. Undoubtedly the Demo
cratic Senator'S who became their
passive instruments and accom- pit
ces will come ia for their share,
and no small share, of popular
contempt and derisIOn. But the
part taken by the chief conspira'
tors will be especially remembered,
and most severely visite d.

do? In the first place, undoubtedly
