BICYCLES IN SPAIN.
Few Are Used, and No SenOrtta Has
Yet Showed N Desire to Ride.

Yet Showed N Desire to Ride.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1o.-The Spanish
ladies have not yet reached the point
where they feel equal to riding the bicycle
in public, although the wheel itself has at
last taken the fancy of the conservative
Spaniards. United States Commercial
Agent Mertens, at Valencia, in a report to
the State Department On the subject, says
that it is only within the last year that
bicycle riding has excited the public in
terest to any extent. Although for years
past the wheel has been known, still very
few riders are seen. The people, not be-
sacrifice their comfort, and hygienic laws
generally are not much considered in a
country where salubriouS climate SpoilS the
people. However, of late bicycle riding has
become sport in Valencia, and although
fashionable society shows indifference be-
took 1t up, the machine is steadily making
it's way with them, especially with the
young element.
"As for the ladies riding the wheel"
says the agent. this. will likely take years
or another generation till it is counte-
nanced here: the sedentary life of the fair
sex in this country cannot easily be over
come, In spite of examples and a full APP
probation of the beneficial results. In my
opinion the use of the bicycle by the ladies
barrier which prevents them from going
out unless attended by a duenna; it will
give them more courage and indie
cendence."
Mr.. Mertens says that at present the
market for wheels is controlled by French
ard steadily rises there is opening for
reliable American bicycles.

cnrthnre Is Not Alarmed.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
The people of Carthage were much
amused this morning on reading the re-
port in the Journal from Rushville rela-
tive to coming arrests because of the
burning of the quart-shop building week
ago. The facts are that if a detective was
here no one knew il or cares. There IS not
a good citizen in the town but would de-
no1nce incendiarism openly and privately.
yet they are not seriously grieving either
for the loss of this worthless shanty, IL
over the threatened prosecution of citizens
ii must have manifested itself at Rusn-
Vile for no one here had even heard OF II
until the morning papers came, and II
they are excited or indignant now that
they know the worst. their contented
smiles when the matter is mentioned, do
not show 1t. Carriages representative
citizens do not sanction incendiarism,
drunkenness liauor selling or any other
crimes and their daily walk is such that
they have no fear of the public prose-
cutor. =.

COMMISSIONS CUT OFF
ACTION THAT WILL SERIOUSLY AT
Feet RAILWAY TICKET AGENTS.
Legal Points in the MonOn Litigation
The MOnon Cuts Down Running
Time to Chicago Fifty Minutes.

Ticket agents in this territory great
~ disturbed over the announcement yes
terday that the Western lines had voted TO
cease paying commissions. The general
passenger agents of Western lines have
been at work for years to bring about such
result, but some of the roads, until now,
have held aloof and VIC I'D not go into the
arrangement. The Chicago e Alton has
been one of the number, and when the
ticket agents learned that it was in line
with the roads that would cease paying
commissions they were disappointed. What
paying commissions meant is shown in the
fact that hitherto when a general passen-
ger agent employed a ticket agent he would
mention that his commission would be
fully thirty-three per cent. as much as his
salary, ranging from $50 to $50 per month.
With this cut off it is evident that the
roads will have to increase the pay of
their ticket agents or lose some of the best
of them. as with their ability they can
earn more money than the regular salary,
minus the commissions.

Little Passenger business.

The Western roads now announce that
the reports of demora4.zation that have
been rife for the last three weeks have
been very much exaggerated and that in
fact very little generalization has existed
al any point outside of Kansas City, and
at that point they say, it was very
light. They made enough hurrah about the
generalization for two weeks to warrant
the conclusion that somebody was taking
from them the entire net revenue of the
roads. The truth of the matter is that the
demoralization no matter how small 1t
may have been, was large enough to cut
a figure in the receipts of the roads. There
has not been a time in the last eighteen
or twenty years when the passenger bust
ness was SO small as at present On some
of the roads there is practically nothing
being done in the way of traffic. and there
are no chances of its growing better until
after election. In freight circles the out
look is some what bett n, the roads relying
on the magnitude of the corn crop for the
larger portion of their business during the
winter and fail

MAY CLASH ON GOLD MINES.
Canadian boundary Dispute Likely to
Cause Serious Complications.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-There is a
strong probability that unless more haste
is exercised by the State Department in
beginning actual settlement of the
Alaskan boundary question serious compli-
cations may result between the United
States and Great Britain. The action of
the Canadian surveyors last week in To-
eating the 141st meridian so to throw
200 gold mines including the richest placer
mres of Alaska. contained in a strip from
three to eight miles wide, into Canadian
territory, is likely at any time to preCip.-
tate such conflict of authori+- as cannot
be ignored by the home gov 1ent.
These mines are operated By orleans,
thousands of whom have G to the
Alaskan fields since the discov, of gold.
and they will not submit to the stricter
rules and regulations prescribed by the
mounted police, who will attempt to take
charge of the disputed territory on the
strength of the report made by Surveyor
Ogilvie that the land is on the Canadian
side. The officials of the State Department
do not recognize Ogilvie's survey as in any
way binding upon the United States and
concessions will be made upon the
strength of his conclusions.

Stamp Forced ON Tickets.

The roads between Chicago and ST. Paul
are much worked UP over some frauds that
have been discovered in the sale of the
Grand Army tickets. 1t has been found
that some of the brokers at ST. Paul have
secured a stamp similar to that of the
agent appointed by the roads to certify the
return portions of the Grand Army tickets,
and large number of tickets certified with
the forged stamp have been presented for
passage. The roads have issued the most
stringent orders to the conductors to see
original purchaser, and as the time limit of
the tickets expires on Sept. 10 they are not
fearful that any large number of the tick
cts will be worked off on them after this.
They have already, however, been victim
lied to a considerable extent.

An Eastern financial paper. in comment

ion that there is fine legal point in the
question whether the receivershp will re-

in certain quarters what the effect will be
or just how the Monon can expect TO re-
lieve itself of the obligation to pay the
Beattyville bonds by the recourse % re-
