THE SHREWD YANKEES.
Foresaw the Bicycle Craze and Put the
English in the Lurch.

United States Consul Parker at Birming-
ham, England, has contributed to the state
department special report on remarkable
development OF the business OF making steel
tubing at that place caused by the great in
crease In the use of the bicycle. Incidentally
he tells OF a shrewd Yankee business transac-
ton which has placed the British bicycle
makers in bad plight.
The American manufacturers, forseeing n
great demand for Wheels not only purchased
all OF the stock OF steel tubing on hand in
England but gave orders that engaged the
output OF many Of the factories for long
time to come.
And so 1t happened that when the "craze'
struck England, the British bicycle makers
found that they had been caught mapping
and were short OF material. Immediately
there was rush to start up new steel tube
plants and so many have been projected that
over production is feared In the end, but
meanwhile there is stringency.
To show the extent Of the increased export
OF this tubing to the United States the consul
says that while tee entire export for 1894 was
Sa5. 800, that for the first quarter of this year
II amounts already to S23l 200. Meanwhile
there has been agreat decrease In the exports
OF Finished British bicycles TO the United
States. and their value has fallen from S478,-
$40 In the first six months Of 1898 to $50, 96s
for so much OF the current year as has ex-

QUAY AT CANTON.
The Senator Spent Two Hours in Conference
With Mckinley.

The much talked Of conference between
Senator Quay and Governor Mckinley took
place on the 22d.
Quay arrived at Canton at 1926 on the Ft
Wayne rond. He was accompanied by J.
Hay Brown. prominent nttotney OF Lan-
caster. BY previous arrangement. the
Governors carriage awaited him at the
station, and the Ohio aspirant for the Prcsi-
dcncy wns there in person to meet him. Their
greetings were very cordial, and, after the
| visiting statesman was comfortably seated In
the conveyance the party was driven rapidly
TO the Mckinley residence, North Market
street.
The visit of Quay was regarded as of much
| Importance, and as soon as he alighted from
the train an army Of interviewers We're after
| him, trying to have him explain his mission
here. He refused to say what brought him
to the hot-bed OF McKinleyism, and, with n
| want-to-be-let-alone appearance, smiled and
jumped into the waiting carriage. Hardly
had he arrived at the Mckinley home when
another attempt was made 10 have him talk,
| but the newsgatherers were again blocked
by word that Senator Quay was engaged in
conversation with Mckinley and could not
| be seen. Mckinley also refused TO say
| word.
The two statesmen were closeted together
| for several hours. the only interruption be-
| ing TO partake of n luncheon, which had
been prepared at the Mckinley home.
Senator Quay and Mr.. Brown left on the
12l Fort Wayne train, Senator Quny for his
| home In Beaver and Mr.. Brown for Lancas-
ter. II is understood that the visit of SEN
ator Quay was OF the friendliest character.
| Their separation Mt the station would indi-
cate the most cordial and hearty relations,
and clearly manifested to the onlookers that
the visit had been Of the most agreeable and
satisfactory nature. While on the Pennsyl
vania train the correspondent asked Senator

THE TOBACCO EMBARGO.
It is Purely a Measure to Protect Cigar
makers in Havana.

Senior Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish Minis
ter, declares that the order by Gen. Weyler
prohibiting the export Of tobacco from Cuba
Is misrepresented in being characterized as
a retaliatory measure against insurgent
sympathizers in this country. He says the
Spanish government is driven to the step by
fact that without II over $4,000 cigar makers
In Havana would soon be thrown out OF
work for lack OF raw material and $4,000 TO
60, 900 women and children dependent on
them would be in danger of starvation.
The minister says the tobacco crop has
been destroyed by Maceo's forces; that the
royal troops have injured no property and
that the indiscrminate destruction OF the
crop il to be laid wholly at the doors Of the
insurgents. Spain, he says. has been fire.
quently importuned for the past year to stop
the tobacco export, which gave employment
TO the chief contributors In this country to
the insurgents but the petitions were stead

is exactly Of the same nature as II the United
States were compelled to stop the export OF
cereals from this country In time Of famine
or great industrial depression.

CAR NICHOLAS CROWNED.
The Most Gorgeous Display the Ancient
Capital Ever Witnessed.

The formal ceremony Of the coronation Of
Gar Ncholas II. and the Czarina occurred
Mt Moscow, May 21, amid all the wealth and
splendor that civilized and semi-barbanc
nations could bring together. The display
of the Inter, furnished by the inhabitants OF
the minor kingdoms under the Cars rule,
was novel and picturesque feature at the
grent military and civic parade that pre-
ceded the religious exercises OF the corona
tion.
Moscow was mass Of life. movement and
color and at night sea of light, In tempest
OF music and revelry.
The route OF march, which was guarded
by close lines OF soldery, was encompassed
by dense masses OF people from all parts Of
the Russian empire and her dependencies.
The utmost liberty, consistent with the prop
er discipline and order, was allowed and
the faithful Muscovites and nussians had the
fullest privilege of witnessing the official en-
try OF their Gar into his ancient capital. The
extent of decorations with flags, flowers,
venetian masts and bunting In the national
colors was only limited by the space avail
able for 1t.
The Emperor, who locked very well, con
stantly bowed his salutatioIs to the cheering
multitude. The Tsar rode pure white
horse, and was Immediately followed by
various male members OF the Russian i'm
perial family, foreign sovereigns or their rep
resentatives, generals and officers Of the
suite.
Preceded by II regiment OF grenadiers came
the Empress In magnificent gilded state
carriage, drawn by four pairs OF cream color
ed horses. Princesses and ladies OF the court,
the court chamberlains and gentlemen In
waiting followed. Then came detachments
Of military, and finally many mounted
masters of ceremonies.
After being received by the Governor Gem

none but those intimately connected with the
imperial household we're permitted to enter,
