He was only an Italian fruit vender,

ragged enough to call for especial SYM
pathy. nor unkempt enough to provoke
disgust. Yet to the policeman ON his
beat he was undoubtedly the object of
considerable animadversion. This was
evidenced by the unrelenfing vigor with
which he was pursued from corner to
corner by the over-zealous guardian of
the law.

the diplomatists of the car were I'M
comfortably clever. The leader of the
group and the master hand in conduct
ing foreign negotiations was Lobanoff.
One needs but to recall the success of
the various efforts recently put forth by
the Russian government to appreciate
the skill and address with which the
car has been represented. The victories,
says the Chicago Record, have been Rus
sia's throughout. Alliances were per-
fected east and west, the powerful
friendship of France being secured as
though by hypnotism. In the settle
ment Of the Chino-Japanese affairs and
in the negotiations looking to a strong
foothold in the Ottoman empire the Rus
slams have played the winning cards.
They have worked steadily toward their
long-coveted aim-the control of the
Bosphorus or a pathway through India
and an outlet TO the sea. The most re-
markable feature of this adroit diplo-
macy is that its ends have been gained
without undue friction and with no
present danger to the peace of Europe.
1t is because he was favorable to peace
and because he carried his aims without
involving his government in conflict
that Lobanoff's death will be regretted
abroad. He did much to strengthen the
empire, but he avoided the clash of arms
which Europe regards as inevitable. It
remains 10 be seen whether among the
other diplomats of the empire there are
those who can take up his work and
carry it on so brilliantly as he has done.

Grand Duke Vladimir Criticised In His

A refreshing story is told in the col
umns of the Frankfort Gazette: The
ear intrusted Count Pahlan, liberal
minded man, with an inquiry into the
causes of the terrible disaster at Mos
COW on the occasion CT the coronation,
and the count did not hesitate to tell
his majesty, in the presence of Grand
Duke Vladimir. that he would have done
better not TO put the superintendent Of
the coronation festivals into the hands
of the grand duke. This frank declara-
ton staggered the emperor. who asked
Count Pahlen to advance his reasons.
The count answered: The grand
dukes are in their right place in the
army and navy, but if they have to do
with purveyors and purveyance they
must be cheated" The Grand Duke
Vladimir protested against this, but
smilingly Count Pahlen reminded him
of his own bad experience in connec-
ton with the building of the memorial
church TO Alexander II. In consequence
of this frank attitude of Count Pahlen,
the minister of justice was ordered to
continue the inquiry. He succeeded IN
clearing up the dark affair, but When
the investigation begun to take very
turn it was determined to
submit it not to the ordinary court of
Justice. but TO the ministerial council

POLITICS WERE FORGOTTEN IN
THE MAMMOTH PARADE OF
WEDNESDAY.
VOTERS OF ALL PARTIES,
WHO BELIEVE IN THE HONOR AND
PROSPERITY o FTHE COUNTRY,
MARCHED TOGETHER
OVER $4,000 WE'RE IN LINE.
The Demonstration Bound to Have
Great influence ON Voters
Through out the State,

The mammoth sound money parade
of Wednesday evening was the talk
of the town yesterday. That it had
been proven a grand success none
questioned, and that it would result
in a large number of sound money
votes in November even Bryan men
were forced to admit. Considering the
number of men in line, the outlay was
extremely small The cost of ribbons,
music and the hall were almost the
only items of expense.
AS to the number Of men in line 1t
is believed that there were more than
$4,000, the estimate as made yesterday
morning. For the purpose of obtain
ing information concerning the num-
Der as accurate as possible, the COM
mittee on arrangements secured the
services of two men to count the num-
Der as the lines passed on their way
to the exposition building. The results
obtained by the two men differed about
100 men, and the lowest count was
1876. This did not include the mar
shals or their aids, counted only four
men in a row, and did not include boys.
The men who did the counting allege
In their affidavit that, to the best of
their knowledge and belief, there were
at least 1900 more in line than the
above figures, counting all. The count
was made from the secondstory win
dow of No S33 Nicollet avenue, and is
doubtless as accurate as could possibly
have been made.
Capt. G. w. Brown, In speaking Of
the demonstration, said last evening
that in his opinion the parade was a
great success. THE affair."" he said,
had been carried out in the spirit in
which the movement had been started,
and was entirely non-partisan. 1t was
not pushed by the men prominent in
either party, but was worked by the
business men of the city. I was sur
prised to find how well the practical
working OF the free coinage Of silver
is understood by the wage workers.
The parade demonstrated the fact that
employer and employee alike are inter-
ested in the campaign for sound
money. 1t will have healthful inf1u-
ence on the doubtful voters of the city
and state"
Mr.. Brown had acted as chairman of
the committee on arrangements, and
had been assisted by J. F. Calderwood,
William Hopkins, Al Shuey, w. G.
Byron, E. J. Phelps and George H.

SPEED OF WHEELS.
BicycIists Make Protests on the
New Ordinance,

The judiciary committee of the board of
park commissioners met yesterday afternoon
to consider the objections Of A. B. Choate
and other wheelmen of the city to the re
cent bicycle ordinance in connection with the
parks and boulevards.
At the last meeting of the board a COM
munication was received from Mr.. Choate,
inclosing what he believed to be a copy of
an equitable ordinance regulating the speed,
etc, of bicycles in the parks and on the
boulevards. The matter referred to the
judiciary committee, and when they met
yesterday the following wheelmen were pres
ent to champion their cause: A. B. Choate
NJ. L. Knowlton, James Wirtensohn, Willie
Becker. F. H. Williams.
Mr. Choate, addressing the committee, OBJ
1ected to that part of the ordinance which
required bicyclist to limit his speed to four
miles an hour when passing vehicle. He
said that 1t was impossible for a man to
guide his wheel when travelling at so slow
of collision with other vehicles If that ordi-
nance were enforced than II they were al
lowed to travel at fast gait. The commit
tee conceded their mistake and eliminated
that portion of the ordinance.
Mr.. Choate also objected to that part of the
ordinance which required speed of not more
He wanted 1t amended to read ten miles an
hour on the boulevards and seven miles on
the park drlveways. This matter the commit
tee promised to take into their considera-
tion.
The matter Of requiring all bicycle riders
to carry lanterns was also discussed by Mr..
Choate, who said that it was an impossible
ity to keep lanterns lighted at all times, and,
further than that, he said that their use
tended to make bicycle riding disagreeable,
inasmuch a wheel with lantern was con-
tinually becoming daubed with oil. Mr.
Choate also thought that bells were not a
necessity, inasmuch as they we're always be-
ing rung at inopportune times. and were Of
very little use. This point, however the
wheelmen were willing to concede If the
committee thought 1t advisable.
After hearing from some of the other
wheelmen along the same line, the commit
tee adjourned, to meet at later date, when
the several objections will be considered.
