Piled that he would take the seventh.
Al this the inspector explained az

latest Invention u In the Way Of
serviceahie noAL
The latest invention In the way OF a
bicycle novelty OF practical service Is
the bicycle boat Il is different from
any other boat because II Is driven by
what may be called a water bicycle.
but Tor the reason that II consists OF
two boats and Is really a bicycle cata-
maran. The new boat is the invention
OF n man IN Detroit. and he says that
Il is going TO be the biggest success
o, the year. The boat consists OF twQ
canoes arranged side by side with h
frame similar TO a diamond frame OF
a bicycle between them. The frame is
piyoted to the boats and Is equipped
with an ordinary bicycle seat. a pair cf
pedals. sprockot wheels and chain. In
place Of the ordinary tired wheels are
two miniature paddle wheels. which
propel the boat through the water.
The inventor is able 10 use one or
more paddle wheels az the same time.
The outfit Is further equipped with
steering gear and a rudder that works
quickly and surely. both OF which are
operated by the handle bars. The hl.
cycle boat Is OF such light construction
and 20 low on the water that Il eanno,
be used where the water Is apt TO b.
rough. Il has been tried at Detroit In
smooth water and worked very sue
cessfully. The inventor seated himself
just as would a bicycle rider who was
about to indulge In a spin on the road
with the same motion aud effort ex.
pended In driving a bicycle the boat
was forced through the water at a fan
speed.

At Dayton a stop was made, and
many yellow ribbons, Mckinley coll

VENEZUELAN CASE.

Lord Salisbury, in his speech at the
lord mayors banquet Monday night,
made the important announcement that
the United States and Great Britain
had arrived at an understanding under
which the long-pending Venezuelan
dispute will be submitted to arbitration.
1t appears that the United States has
suggested-the suggestion being &C
cepted-that lands settled for go
years by British colonists shall not be
subject to arbitration.
The difference between the two gov
ernments almost from the first has
been that Lord Salisbury demanded
that the settled districts in the dis
puted territory should be excluded
from the proposed arbitration. 1t has
been the policy of Great Britain to
establish an outpost at some remote
point and then claim all the interview
ing country under British settlement.
The provision that exclusion from the
years settlement puts an entirely diff
ferent face on the matter. 1t is to be
assumed that our government has
taken precautions to make the pro-
vision apply to bona fide, actual oc-
cupation only, excluding all claims of
constructive settlement. No honest
person will wish to submit any Eng
disappearing colony that has long held
its title from the British crown to the
danger of being placed under the con-
troll of any Latin government. That
would be an outrage against the race;
and our government has shown its
fairness and wisdom and spirit of jus
tice in advancing a proposition under
which such colonies will be made Sc
cure in the enjoyment of Anglo-Saxon
civilization and AnglO-SaXOn laws

MIR. BARTuNws LETTER.

Elsewhere in this issue viii be found
a very interesting letser from Mr.. H
F. Bartine on the result of the elec-
ton. He is by no means discouraged,
nor does he regard the election of Nc
Kinley as anything like lardrllde
Neither was s.. In fact, as he says,
Mckinley had a close CALL
The real campaign OF, education was
very short and considering this fact
the results obtained were truly sur
prising and very encouraging. AS
pointed out in Mr.. Bartfne's letter, the
danger is in letting the people forget
the silver issue, so that two or four
years hence it may be necessary to be-
gin again with the A B c of finance
One Of the most potent factors in
shaping public opinion on the silver
question in. the middle western sl:altes
was The National Bimetallist, which
was under the eIlitorship OF Mr.. Bar
tine. 1t was able, fearless and courte-
Gus. It presented the question as few
papers could have presented it.
Whether its publication viii be cortin-
ued has not been definitely determined
upon. Continued or discontinued it
was a power for good in the metallic
cause
