on THE UHIRLING UHEFL.

Correspondents at Albany say there are no
fewer than tWentysix bills before the I.esis-
lature which in one way or another affect the
riding OF bicycles. Many Of these bills are nm
doubleday inspired by neddling motives. The
voters Of this State are unwise enough every
year to send TO Albany certain small number
OF legislators who appear 10 lind their highest
happiness in foollng with The peace and comfort
Of great many people. Riding on the wheel
has become immensely popular. In every part
Of the State, from the smallest village TO The
big city, the votaries Of the bicycle are gaining
in multitude at a wonderfully rapid rate Ri
cycle clubs Of all sorts, classes Of every kind,
organizations OF every variety, abound through
out the Empire State and in other States also.
1t is certain that when the roads are in good
condition whole armies OF bicycle riders far

extent OF their array. will take possession of the
highways. the boulcvarls and the avenues.
Schools Of instruction are multiplying. and they
are turning out wcll-lrancd pupils in legiOns
The manufacturers are busy constructing the
! wheels for which there is so ardent demand
while they continually studying the most
ingenious Improvements. The wealth Of the

voted TO the removal of every defect in bicycles
and to the application Of every device than can
make the wheel more acceptable and more Use

recent exhibition of bicycles In Madison Square
Garden afforded an interesting and extensive
field Of study. Up to the time when this exhibi-
ton was held comparatively few people In this
city realized how prodigious were the strides
which had been made in the manufacture of
wheels, and what amazing bounds in popularity
| bicycles had taken within few years.

II may be considered certain that the fondness

foolish craze for roller skating. The attrac-

far superior to any qualification which roller

THE BEHRJNG SEA CLAIMS.

Senator Morgan fully supports the structures
OF our regular Washington correspondent upon
Secretary Greshams bad bargain over the
Behring Sea claims He shows that the Admin
istration has been duped into settling scaling
claims based on prospective profits from prob
able catch or estimated balance of seasons
work He compares these speculative damages
with the indirect claims which the Geneva ar
bitrators excluded on the ground that pros
pectiye earnings could not be made the subject
Of compensation. Secretary Gresham, Yielding
10 the Establishments Of the British Minister,
has allowed class Of claims which were clearly
excluded on the principles of the Geneva award.
Senator Morgan's summary gives S542, 1863 as
the British claim; $4,000 as the lump sum
which Secretary Gresham agreed 10 pay, and
$685. 1O2 as the amount which was really due as
a matter Of equity

from England but its origin may be traced to

The baseball season is coming on apace, and
the members of the local teams are now in the
South working off superfuous flesh and harden
ing muscles which will be brought into play a
great deal from now until October J. The
Giants are at Jacksonville, where the most en-
couragng reports are sent North regarding the
condition Of the players. The career of the
Giants will be closely watched this year, and as
there has been an entire change of management
in the club, predictions about what the Giants
will do are not numerous as is usually the
case at this time Of the year. Over in Brooklyn
the opinion is general that the Bridegrooms
have been strengthened materially, and that the
team will make much better fight for the pen
nant than 1t did in 1894. And this opinion
seems to be we'll founded. That Boston will be
a strong competitor for the League pennant this
year seems assured

Caprivi when ne warned him in the strongest
manner against submitting TO the Rechstag the
