decided that Pullman car checks are
transferable; that is, that a pas
sengcr may transfer his right to
another passenger to the end of the
line. The Brunswick Times-Adver-

not be understood as mutilating the
rights of the porter. The latter re-

about correct. All lines OF busi-

swallowed the commercial Jonah.
She has kept the Exposition in her

on the trade Of other towns and now
that she has had to disgorge she

to trade that will make "Clara

AN ARB|TER OF FASHION,
President Cleveland Objects to
Middle.Aged Women Rid.
ing Bicycles.
Many Members of Washington's Swell
Set Will Therefore Refrain From
the Pleasure.

BOSTON, Mass, March PA dispatch
to the Globe from Washington says:
President Cleveland has not often posed
in the role of an arbiter Of the social af-
fairs Of the administration, and, so far as
known, never before has been called upon
to express his opinion as to what the wives
ofthe members of the Cabinet should or
should not do. But If report be correct
Cleveland has placed an executive veto
upon the Cabinet ladies riding bicycles.
Washington is such a paradise for the
wheel that the sight of Senator. men,
ber of the diplomatic corps, Judge Of the
Supreme Court or any of the most fash
ionable girls in the swell set astride a
wheel no longer calls for comment.
Recently some of the young members of
the swell set conceived the idea of getting
up a bicycle drill for charity, and some of
the wives of the Cabinet Ministers allowed
the use of their names as patronesses. 1t
is said that from being passive spectators
they manifested tendency to become ac-
tive participants in the affair
This coming to the ears of the President,
it is said he plainly placed himself on re-
cord as being opposed to women no longer
in their first youth riding the bicycle. He
does not object to the new woman or to her
riding a bicycle if she is young. but he
draws the line when she approaches mid
die age, and it is for this reason that many
of the most prominent women in official
circles will not be seen riding for charity.

Sir Richard E. r. MnrtiB Named BY Cham
berIuin as Administrator in Bech-

for the colonies, has appointed Sir Rich
ard Edward Rowley Martin as admins
traitor of all of the police ill Bechuanaland,
Matabeleland and Mashonaland.
The appointment prescribes that the ad-
ministrator shall be surely responsible to
the Government, and not to the British
South Africa Company, as hitherto.
Sir Richard E. B. Martin served with the
Inniskillen Dragons in the Boer war of
1881 and with the Bechuanaland
police force from 1886. to 1888. He
was British commander and Presi-
dent of the Portuguese Swazi boundary

Significant Remarks of the First Lord
Of the Treasury Upon Com.
merce.Destroying.

LONDON, ENG, March 12.-The House
of Commons to-day passed the third read
ing of the Liverpool cattle market bill,
abandoning the old building for a new
one which is to be constructed near the
docks. T. P. O'Connor, member of the
Scotland division of Liverpool, objected to
the change on the ground that the loca-
ton of the site of the new market would
favor American and Irish cattle
Hon. w. D. Broderick, Parliamentary
Secretary for the War Office. stated IN
reply to question asked by DIR. Tanner,
Nationalist member for Middle Cork, that
the War Office knew nothing OF report
that English military officers had offered
their services to Spain in the event Of an
occurrence Of hostility between that coun-
try and the United States. The penalties
of such action, he added would be en-
forced in accordance with foreign enlist
ment act.
Right Honorable Walter Long, president
of the Board of Agriculture, in reply to
interrogations said that seventytwo cases
of contagious pleuro- pneumonia had been
found in cattle imported from the United
States aud sixteen imported from Canada
since October, 1892. He had no doubt that
the disease was specifically infectious.
though the degree of infection was rela-
lively small. Whatever view the Cana
dian and United States authorities might
take he could only say that it had been
conclusively proved here that the disease
was infectious.
In reply to question on the subject Mr.
~ Do rli ,for
tary of the Foreign Office, stated that the
Government had no information of the
settlement of the Venezuelan difficulty.
Despite Mr.. Curzon's statement report is
credited in ministerial circles that Prime
Minister Salisbury has assented to the
formation of an nAnglo-American com mis-
sion that will be authorized to settle the
dispute.
Thomas Gibson Bowles, Tory member
for Lynn Regis, asked if the Government IS
attention had been called to statements in
the Spanish press that IN the eventfof war
with the United States Spain would fit out
privateers to prey on American commerce,
she not being party to the declaration of
Paris of 1856.
a. ]. Balfour, First Lord of the Treas
ury and Government leader of the House.
recommended that in view of the fact that
there had been no privateers fitted out in
any war since 1856, even by the powers
that had not acceded to the declaration OF
Paris, and in view also of the fact that the
principle of neutral flag receiving general
acceptance, he doubted that Spain or any
other country would adopt the measures
suggested. Mr.. Balfour held that there
was a general acceptance of the Paris
declaration by all the powers, though not
embodied in treaty.
