apprehensive that the free circulation

vICTIMIzING BICYCLE DEALERS.
A Young Man Who Has Been Doing
Quite a Business.

The detective office presented the appear
ance Of a bicycle establishment this morn
ing and the wheel dealer who was RESPONSE
BILE for this condition of things was behind
the bars charged with having obtained
possession of the bicycles in a fraudulent
manner Clifton Talbert is his name and
he is eighteen years old. His home is in
Laurel, Md, but during the past three
months he has spent most of his time en-
deavoring to get bicycles from local dealers
and then dsposing of them. He did not
seem very particular about getting large
amounts of cash for the new wheels, but
would accept anything i'm the nature of
portable property and a small amount of
cash.
At farm houses he was willing to accept
gun or a broken-down horse and a small
sum of money for the wheels.
At Harry Higham's bicycle establishment
AIS Pennsylvania avenue, he hired a wheel
but forgot to return It. That was fully three
n.cnths ago. and a countryman in Prince
Georges county now has the wheel When
he called at the Smith Company's place on
H street he presented a check for $40
said to have been forged, and II was ac-
cepted in payment for a wheel. Then he
got new wheel from c. e. Miller on l4th
street, where he gave a check for the
amount, $780, with an Endorsement said to
have been forged. His game at the Dis
trict Cycle Company's place was entirely
inherent IHeIe ne was trNlIiS u Nneel,GHu
when one of the employees of the place went
in the store Talbert, 1t is charged, rode off
with the wheel.
Ben Dakin, the cycle dealer, who has
done so much detective work IN the recov-
cry of wheels, assisted Mr.. Miller yesterday
in his efforts to capture the young man.
1t was learned that a part of a wheel had
been shipped 10 Laurel and Miller and
Dal<in started to that place. When the
train stopped at Hyattsyille Talbert started
to get off with a wheel, but he was ar
rested and brought back here.
Detectives Weldon and Boar5lman re-
covered the wheels. and they are held as
evidence in the case
This morning the young man was ar
raigned in the Police Court on charges
of false pretenses and larceny. Witnesses
were heard, and the court held the prisoner
in $1,000 security to await the action Of
the grand jury.

Mark C. Smith. colored. the deposed
leader OF the West End Band. and Special
offacer Edward Brockenborough broke up q
Sunday school entertainment last night
Abraham Hall. on Meridian Hill was the
scene Of the entertainment, and Smith went
there with the colored man who wears the
badge OF a special officer and took possess
sion Of the loud-sounding instruments, In
GLIDING a bass horn and bass drum. Thus
the youthful members OF the band were
unable to make the music called for by the
program. but Smith did not get out Of the
hall with the instruments, for the doorkeep-
er stopped him and detained him until two
policemen arrived. 1t was claimed by Smith
that he had a share in the Instruments but
the members Of the band denied this On
the other hand. IL was claimed that Smith
was angry because he was dropped by the
band. so that he could not figure IN the
emancipation parade. and his actions last
night was spite work.
Both Smith and Brockenborough were ar
rested for disorderly conduct and Smith
was also charged with larceny and threats
Judge Miller fined them SO each for be-
ing disorderly and the other charges
against Smith were dismissed

The diminishing between the republicans

the two sides that there should be no dila-
tory motions Of any kind, but the failure OF
Senator Harris to secure a renewal OF the
agreement today opens the gate for a food
OF nlibustering tactics, and Mr. FRYE made
the nrst move In that direction. Fifty-six
senators answered to their names, or thIr-

LIGHT DRAUGHT GUNDOAT.
The Proposition to Send One to Blue
fields Still Under Considerations.

Word has been received at the Navy De-
partment that the L. s. S. San Francisco
sailed yesterday from Port Limon for Blue
fields. The vessel had run down from Blue
fields to Port Limon to cable the Navy
Department touching the state of affairs
at Bluefields voluminous report, from
Mr.. Braida, late United States consul at
Greytown, has been received by Secretary
Gresham. The consul tells how he came
to go to Bluefields and how he lost his exc
quatur, but the department has not yet
gathered sufficient information to make a
satisfactory response to the Senate resolu-
ton calling for an account of the late
troubles and the existing conditions at Blue
fields.
The propriety of sending a light draught
gunboat to the assistance of the San Fran
cisco has been suggested to the department,
but has not yet been acted upon. The use
OF either the Castine or Machias for this
service is out of the question. In case II
becomes necessary to send small vessel
to patrol the shallow waters in the harbor
of Bluefields the Dolphin, now at the Wash
ingtov~ navy yard, will most probably be
selected:

NEW YORK, April 25.-The unprecedent-
ed gathering Of brokers in the Chicago Gas
crowd Just before the opening of today's
market indicated that the feature of the
DAYS trading had been determined upon.
The only disputed point was the probable
course the price would take. This was de-
cided promptly enough by subtracting Ia
per cent from last nights bid price. making
the initial sale "a. In the next few minutes
over three thousand shares had changed
hands and the price decllaei to 63. From
this point a covering movement set in on
an extensive scale and the price quickly
rallied to opening figures. As was an
ucipe ted, the stock was well supported and
the price confined within the narrow limits
Of per cent.
The announcement that the company
would be enjoined from paying the mex,
regular dividend led to renewed selling
later in the day. but every offering OF
stock found a purchaser ready TO take it
While large block of the stock bought al
the opening was for covering purposes, II Is
also true that new short interest has
been created which will contribute literally
to the efforts Of inside interests to hold VI
the price. The more conservative operators
incline to the bull side of this property, be-
heving that the stock must sell higher on
its merits.
The balance Of the market was dull and
prices were not materially changed. Gener

Sugar sold down "a per cent during the

passage, as a result of the latter feature

On this theory the talk on sugar is de-

business was small, however, and in the
absence OF any important news items nc
radical changes were made.
The market for foreign exchange was
practically unchanged from yesterdays
rates. The tone OF the market is some
what easier owing to the less pressing de-
mand from remitters. The probabilities OF
gold shipments are decreasing and from
present indications no gold will go abroad
during the week. The last hours trading
was dull and steady, with prices tendiug
toward improvement The market is still
dominated by interests wholly professional
but there is a fair supply OF investment,
going on all the time. Manipulation is still
pronounced in certain of the industrials
