FRANCE BICYCLE MAD.
Nearly Everybody Who Can Rides Good
Opening for American Wheels.

Nearly Everybody Who Can Rides-Good
Opening for American Wheels.
France has gone bicycle mad, is the
deduction to be drawn from a report
received at the state department from
Walter I. Griffin, United States COM
mercial agent at Limoges. Since April,
1892, each bicycle is taxed ten francs
(S1.93) year, and the. number of ma
chimes in use in the republic can be
accurately gagged through the tax re-
turns. In 1892 the number of bicycles
in France was 130,477, while at present
there are 100000. The average is four
machines to nearly every 1000 persons.
If the feeble, the aged, young children
and the majority of the women be ex-
cluded from the calculation, the aver
age will be one bicycle to every so per-
sons able to ride.
In concluding his report Mr. Griffin
says: ''The bicycles offered for sale
on the French market are manufac-
tured in every land; France can hard
ly hold her own in manufacturing these
machines. England supplies the larg-
est quantity of the foreign wheels, .
few are imported from Belgium and
many from the United States. There
is no reason why the high grade Amer
lean bikes should not have larger
.ale in France il the right means wert
-.sed to introduce them"

Conference at Dallas.

Chairman MacGregor Talks About the
Conference at Dallas.
Houston Daily Post, July 16.
Mr.. III. F. MacGregor, of this city,
who is chairman of the state Lilly
White" Republican executive commit
tee, was asked yesterday in regard to
the published reports of conference
in Dallas between leaders of the
Grant faction and some of the Lily
White faction.
"There was conference at Dallas"
said Mr.. MacGregor, shut it has led
to no results as yet. The article in
the Galveston paper is entirely mis-
leading. While there is a feeling
among the Mckinley people in the
Grant faction of the Black and Tans
and among the Mckinley people in
the Lily Whites that they ought to
work together. the informal confer
ence held at Dallas amounts to moth
ing except to clear the atmosphere for
future action.
''My position as chairman does not
authorize any action on my part eX-
cept of an advisory character. The
members of the committee nor myself
would be willing to. betray a trust
placed in our hands.
The committee will be called togeth-
er in few days to consider any bus
mess that may come before it, and if
the Black and Tans have any propo-
sitions to make they will have careful
consideration"
In a letter received from Captain
Steere he writes that about a dozen
Dallas Republicans called on DR..
Grant, that Grant is more than anX.
ious for our assistance and made
some liberal promises. 1t merely in
dicates a disposition to get together
and some overzealous people are
making mountain out of it. There is
a principle involved in the Lily White
organization that will not be lost sight
of. Something more than getting a
seat in the band wagon for a share OF
the chicken pie"
Major r. B. Baer, who is one of the
original Lily Whites, said yesterday
that he did not believe the Lily Whites
would consent to be swallowed up by
the Grant faction. Speaking for him.
self, he said he proposed to stick to
the principle involved in the Lily
White organization.

Mn Attempt to Destroy Whole Family by
Burning Them.

Burning Them.
Winona. Mimi, April 15.-News of a
diabolical plot to cremate whole fam
lily came from the neighboring village
of Fountain City today, John Kotchutz
and family live In the upper story of
building. This morning after the fam
lily had arisen, one of the little sons
told his mother he smelled kerosene.
Upon investigation the door step was
found to be saturated with oil. Around
the step were found three Matches two
of which had been lighted. Ashes were
on the step showing that large bun
die of papers had been ignited to set
fire to the building. The woodwork of
the steps was too wet to ignite,
although the villain had fairly soaked
the wood with the inflamable oil The
family were greatly surprised at the
discovery. The family consists of the
father and mother and eight children.
1t was the outside doorstep which was
foaked with the oil; the entrance door,
leading to the stairs to the second floor,
was fastened. 1t was the intention of
the villain to have the fire spread to the
inside, through the door, and burn
down the stairs first. If the scheme
had been successful, there is no doubt
but what the entire family would have
been cremated. 1t was only on ac-
count of the eStrem Ay wet weather
that the fire could not be made to burn.
Kotchutz says he has no enemies whom
he knows. The citizens of the village
are much excited over the matter. If
the firebug is caught the indications
there will be lynching.
