TO DRIVE OUT CHEAP CYCLES.
Manufa cturers of Tubing Form a Big
Combine.

Com pine.
Pittsburg Pa, Sept. 26.-The low
priced bicycle has gone. 1t will not be
manufactured any more, unless under
extraordinary circumstances that are not
likely to arise for its benefit.
The manufacturers of standard wheels
have taken energetic action to extermn-
ate the cheap machine and adopt Il system
which will be effective in keeping the low
priced bicycle from becoming competitor
again.
The Pope Manufa curing company. the
Gormully d Jeffrey company and other
leading makers of high-clasS bicycles have
been at work for some time trying to de-
wise scheme by which the influence of
cheap bicycles could be checked. They
were assisted by other manufacturers.
and the movement eliminated during the
week at a meeting held III the Hotel
Waldorf, New York
What was supposed to be meeting of
wrought iron pipc manufacturers was
really a meeting of the manufacturers of
tives present from each of the twelve
firms manufacturing that class of tubing,
and compact was entered into which
will drive out the cheap wheels.
The object of those attending the New
York meeting was to drive out small
tect the large capital invested in complete
bicycle factories and tube mills. Without
the tubing it will be impossible for the
'assemblers' to make any more wheels,
and the manufacturers entered into
compact which practically makes the
business a trust
Each of the twelve firms making BIZ
cycle tubing bound itself not to sell tub

parts gave Il pledge not to sell them the
parts made by the subscribers to the COM

A PIG IRON POOL. &,
John ID. Rockefeller in Cleveland Ar
ranging Details.

Cleveland, O., Sept 25-John D.
Rockefeller has been in Cleveland al
most continually for the last six weeks
in consultation with representatives of
the largest pigiron furnaces. The object
is TO form a pigiron pool. Mr.. Rookie
Teller. by controlling the iron ore of the
Mesaba range in Minnesota, and all the
Lake Superior mines through Michigan
and Wisconsin, has in his possession the
ore necessary for use in manufacturing
steel.
1t is not practicable to establish the
furnaces at the mines, as there is no
coking coal in that vicinity The only
course open for Mr.. Rockefeller is to
compel the independent makers of pig
iron to agree to maintain prices. Most
of the large companies have agreed to
the proposed pool
Mr.. Rockefeler's plan is to consoli-
date all companies somewhat on the line
followed by the Standard Oil company,
the present owners taking either cash
or stock in the new concern in exchange
for their plants

For the past year or two the Carnegie

decided to give our plate trial, there
was great rejoicing at Homestead, as

WATSON WARNS BRYAN.
Says the Democratic Nominee Can
not Win with SeWall on
the Ticket.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Thomas Watson,
Populist candidate for vice-president,
telegraphs to the World a review of the
political situation, concluding as follows:
Under present conditions Mr.. Bryan
cannot get the full Populist vote. He
cannot get it in Kansas or Colorado.
He cannot get it in North Carolina or
Nebraska. In the friendliest spirit
give Chairman Jones this warning. He
will make the blunder of his life if he
listens to the fusion leaders and believes
fox Bryan with Sewall on the ticket.
Fear Another Cleveland.
''Populist voters are men who have
educated themselves on political topics.
They will not stultify themselves by
voting against their convictions. They
will not vote for Il man who, IT MI.
Bryan dies, will make us another Pres
ident after the fashion of Grover Cleve-
land. They may not be able to break
up the fusion deal, but they can stay at
home.
THE contract made at st. Louis for
a united DemocraticPopulist party
should be carried out in good faith. The
Democratic managers should not expect
to hold us to it when they ignore it them
selves.

U1ulS VIII 1OTeNcE rest upon lHOSe HILL
ayers who had it in their power to con-
troll by fair means 100000 votes, and
then who lost them by violating the
terms of the compact.
Il respectfully warn Chairman Jones
of the danger Mr.. Bryan is in. The
Populist voters are dissatisfied and sus-
picious. They feel instinctively that the
fusion policy which compels them to vote
for Sewall is the beginning of the end
of the Peoples party. They feel that
the principles they love are being used
as political merchandise and that the
Populist is being auctioned off to the
highest bidder. They suspect that Popu-
lism has been bought and paid for and
is now being delivered to those who
bought it,
Mr.. Watson says that Mr.. Bryan
acted honorably in the negotiations With
the Populists at the st. Louis con-
vcntiCn in telegraphing Senator Jones
that he would not accept Il Populist
nomination unless Mr.. Sewall were also
nominated and adds: Senator Jones
concealed this telegram, allowed tie
POpulists to remain in ignorance of Mr..
Rryan's position and permitted the lomi-
nation of Mr.. Bryan and Watson with
out protest.

GLADSTONE SPEAKS.
The Grand Old Man Raises His
Voice in the Cause Of
Humanity,
1896. by the Associated Pr

Copyrighted, 1896, by the Associated Press
Liverpool, Sept. 24.-Enthusiastic
crowds of people assembled at an early
hour this morning in the vicinity of Hen
gler's circus, all anxious to push into
the building and hear the eagerly-antici
pated address which William E. Glad
stone had announced his willingness TO
make before the meeting called by the
Reform club to protest against the re-
cent ,massacres of Armenians at Con-
stantinople and elsewhere in Turkey,
When Mr.. Gladstone rose to speak he
looked well and hearty for u man of his
years of hard work. He bowed repeat
edly in response to the Outhursts of
cheering which greeted him. When he
was able to make himself heard Mr..
Gladstone, after a few preliminary re-
marks, moved the following resolution,
which was received with thunders of ap-
plause:
That this meeting trusts that her ma
jesty's ministers, realizing to the fullest
extent the terrible condition in which their
fellow Christians are placed, will do every
thing possible to obtain for them full secur-
ity and protection; and this meeting assures
her majesty's ministers that they may rely
upon the cordial support of the citizens Of
Liverpool in whatever steps they may feel
are necessary to take for that purpose
Mr.. Gladstone also SAID: eve have
a just title to threaten Turkey with
coercion that does not in itself mean
war, and | think that the first step
should be the recall of our ambassador.
(Cheers.) And it should be followed by
the dismissal of the Turkish ambassa-
dor from London. Such a course is
frequent and would not give the right
of complaint to anybody. When diplo-
matte relations are suspended, England
should inform the Sultan that she would
consider the means Of enforcing her just
and humane demands. | do not believe
that Europe will make war to ensure the
continuance of massacres more terrible
than ever recorded in the dismal. de-
plorable history of human crime" Loud

He said Mr.. Bryan, l am given to

Bible, and he should know that the Bible
is very clear on that point. The idea of
trying TO make thing Of the value of
80 cents worth 100 cents is something
which the Almighty could not do-and I
say it reVerently. He would not think
of doing such 4 thing, and could not if
He would. You cannot exchange COM

Or. Parkhurst will preach Sunday
morning, but said he would not treat
particularly of political matters in his
discourse.

ALL ABOUT A BRIDGE.
An EX- Alderman of Ahnapee at War
with the City Coun-

Ahnapee, Wis, Sept. 25.--[Special.l-
The Second street bridge war, which has
been on for the past year, is liable 10
cost the city large sum OF money. II.
Gcricke an ex-alderman brought suit
against the city yesterday to ascertain
why the bridge should not be opened to
team traffic. Mr.. Gericke has employed
Charles Scanlon Of Milwaukee to prose-
cute the case and the city authorities
have determined TO vigorously fight the
proceedings, as they are confident they
have acted in accordance with the law.
In June, 1885, new bridge on Fourth
street was opened to the public and on
the 10th Of the same month the Second
street bridge was INSTRUCTED by a sign
which read CLOSED Temporarily" the
bridge having been previously condemned
by the city council. A number Of resi-
dents of the Third ward objected to the
closing Of the bridge, but the council
would take no definite steps in the mat
ter until it ascertained the intentions of
the government in regard to a new sur
vey and contemplated harbor improve
ments. One faction argued that the
bridge would greatly interfere with the
proposed harbor work and should be re-
moved, while others, it is claimed, were
working to have the bridge rebuilt The
bridge has been the cause Of untold trOu-
bic ever since it was closed.
Not long ago four persons were found
guilty of tearing down signs placed upon
the bridge by the city and fined $50 each.
AT the spring election II. Gericke was
elected an alderman from the Third
ward and many q lively time was had
at council meetings IL regard to the dis
position Of the bridge trouble. Finally,
Mr.. Gericke rendered his resignation and
the action commenced against the city
by him yesterday was not unexpected.
In his complaint he asks what ''closed
temporarily" means, and that the city
show cause why the bridge shall not
be opened. The bridge has been closed
for sixteen months.
