Tie question OF cycle paths is becom-

ment and advertisement in various parts
of the country. The cry for better roads
started long age, and in many parts OF
America wheelmen are working in con-
junction with the road-makers, and legis-
Istors are falling in line to keep the feel
ing warm. The advantages OF good roads
to wheelmen are inestimabie. and if all
cyclists take the matter in hand, united
effort will work wonders for the COM
mon cause. Cycle paths are advocated
more or less strongly by the press, and
every city in the country should raise
some cry or other for their BEN
eft. Buffalo is now advocating a path
from that city TO Niagara Falls.

Charles Murphy, the crack bicyclst,
and a member of the fraternity who has
followed Tho path since the early SOS,
has plan by which he thinks a man

NEW YORK, Dec. -. z. Hunt
ington, President of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, sald to-day:
Terms have been fully agreed upon
for a settlement of the differences be-
tween the Pacific Mail Steamship Com

will Two or three times before the
companies have got ready to sign, but

The understanding is that under the
agreement the Pacific Mail Company
will withdraw its boats between New
York and Colon, and the Panama Rail
road will withdraw its boats between
Panama and San Francisco. Each
company will make the rates on

him into a fever, out of which he issued

presided at a dinner which was given
in aid of the fund of the Locomotive
Engineers Society. Mr.. Bayard was
enthusiastically received. He declared
that he could say in all sincerity that
he had never attended dinner in Eng
land with such warm sympathy. There
was no party, there We're no national
distinctions there. He dwelt upon the
international dependence of different
callings of society accentuating the
indissoluble tie of humanity the world
over, and declaring that while parties
and forms of government might be
useful, the sense of human brother
hood was stronger and better than all
else. He would be glad. he said, if he
could be able to do anything to create
a better feeling among the different
classes. If the handworkers could re-
alize the feeling of the brain workers,
then it would make Great Britain bet
ter and stronger. Several members of
Parliament and a number of repre-
sentatives of American trades unions
were present.

VOICE OF THE PRESS.
Expressions From Newspapers of In
terror California.


Marysville Democrat: On several oc-
casions the Democrat has commented
adversely on the hasty action of the
present Railroad Commission in order
ing a general reduction of freight rates
on all transportation lines. We pointed
out the error at the time the order was
made public, and stated that it was
not because of ordering a reduction,
but the manner in which it was done
We then stated that until it was shown
by competent evidence that the earn
ings at the time were in excess of what
would produce reasonable interest on
the investment the commission have
not the right to order such general re-
duction. And now the United States
Attorney-G General has taken that view
Of it, and as the United States is
a party in interest in the Southern Pa
cific Company's roads he has given
notice that he will contest the point of
authority claimed by the Railroad Com
mission.

cent silver purchases. This propOsi
tion ought to be lifted above all parti

would not reduce the currency of the
country. 1t would simply substitute one
form of Indebtedness for another. The
method proposed is an exchange for
bonds Of small and large denominations
running for long term and bearing a
low rate of interest. BY this exchange
it is thought that something like S4S3
OG0,OO0 of currency might be retired.
There would be no obligation on the
part of any holder of currency to make
the exchange. It is assumed that bonds
bearing low rate of interest would be
more desirable than q currency which
draws no interest.

The influence of Sherlock Holmes
seems to have spread among the Grimm
al classes. AS rule convicted swind-
lers do not have any special feeling
of gratitude towera the detectives who
run them to earth, but there is one
English sinner, who goes under the
name Of Dean, who seems to have a
just regard for the efficiency Of the
police force. At the conclusion Of his
trial in Manchester the other day, Just
after he had been convicted and the
justice, in severe words Of condemna-
ton had pronounced an extended SEN
tence upon him, Dean addressed the
court and asked permission to bestow
his gold watch and chain, together
worth, as he said. more than ESQ, upon
the detective who had arrested him.
Deans little speech was concluded after
this fashion: This brave fellow de-
serves such a present, seeing that he
has succeeded where more than half
his brother officers have failed within
the last year and half" Naturally
the court refused to allow the present
to be made, and as the prisoner was
led away he shook his head sadly and
1T is shameful for the
English that the detectives who serve
them so well, should be rewarded so
poorly"
