THE FALL IN SILVER.
West Minister Gazette Tells How Ii
 Was Done.

West Minister Gazette Tells How 1t
 Was Done.
 LONDON, Aug. 21.-The West Minister Gazette this afternoon in . financial article attributes the fall in silver to the inability of speeulators in the United States to carry silver purchased with borrowed money and to the scarcity of buyers. It says:
 aThe quantity of silver lying idle in the banks of China is large, there being much less demand for it owing to the setback to trade in both China and Japan due to smallness of purchases of silk by America and Europe. What the people are anxious to know is the amount of silver still carried by specu- lato in the United States The price is now declining and figures may induce more active speculation both in London and India.

Cuba and Crete.

The King of the Hellenes has man. ifested a more indulgent disposition toward the Cretans who are fighting against Turkey than the President of the United States has manifested toward the Cubans who are battling for liberty. George l. has permitted the exportation of arms from Greece to Crete. When Turkey called upon him last month to stop it. he issued an order to his Minister of War, who, itseems, did not pos sess the means of putting a stop to it. Then "the powers urged him to adopt more thorough measures for preventing it, and his reply was that he was precluded from doing so by the strength of Greek sympathy with the Cretans. Finally we have learned that some of the powers are desirous Of establishing iointnaval blockade of the island Of Crete.
 It is probable that George I. will perform his duty in executing the public law which prohibits the eN- ports Of military munitions to insnr- gents: but it is evident that he is mot anxious to go beyond the require ments of law in the ease of Crete.
 On the other hand, the President of the United States has been over. anxious to assist Spain as against Cuba. His Administration has been extraordinarily yigilant in prevent ing the shipment of any kind of sup plies to the Gubans. For this pur- pose it has used force and arms for over q year. It has watched the suspects all along the seaboard, and has accepted the help of Spanish spys. 1t has invoked the terrors oi the law against offenders, and has striven to secure their punishment. The terms Of Mr. Cleveland's recent proclamation are as strong as Seere- tary 0lney could devise. All agen- cies have been brought to bear in favor of tyranieal Spain as against free Cuba. No heed whatever has been given tothe universal sympathy of the American people with the Cubans battling for liberty.
 In this ease NIr. Cleveland has per formed works Of supcrogation, to the advantage of government that is both cruel and pertidious.-New York sun.

 GAINESVILLE, Ark, Aug. 21.-John- son county farmers in the vicinity of Lamar have begun whitecap operations in an effort to rid the community of cot ton thieves. For the past two or three years farmers in that neighborhood have been annoyed by wholesale petty thiey- cry. Cotton, cattle and hogs have been stolen. Last night an armed band of 9 farmers called on several families suspected of the thefts and notified them to leave the community. Instead of leaving, the alleged thieves are qrning themselves with shotguns and trouble ia expected to occur.

Of Interest to Bicycle Riders.

Of Interest 10 BicyciG IIdefS.
 There can be no question that one Of the most important parts of Q bi- cycle is the tire. It has to bear the brunt of the work, is constantly coming in contact with destroying clements, and generally receives the least care from the rider. The inn portance of the work it has to do was early recognized by makers of bicycles, however, and they have given much attention to this i'm portant adjunct of the wheel.
 There are today, perhaps, thirty different styles of bicycle tires on the market, all of which vary in detail. As to their various merits, theories are of little value; actual experience is the only way to determine this vuestion. Unless an article gives satisfaction, demand for it soon ceases. After 9 test of over six years, during which time double tube and single-tube tires have been marketed, at least three=fourths of all the riders in this country today demand and ride double-tubed tires.
 The leading firm in the United States, and in fact the entire world, in the manufacture of doubIe-tabe tires, is Morgan & Wright, Chicago. Their history is interesting. The first pneumatic tire-the rags and glue kind-was giving trouble, and Morgan & Wright stepped in to fill a great public want. They furnish ed tire that could be easily taken from the rim to be repaired. That was the principal requirement. in those days, besides the usual re- quirements of speed, durability and comfort
 That was several years ago. Single tube tires had been pushed in Europe, and were failing, and the same effort was being started in this country. The Morgan & Wright double-tube tire quickly proved it's superiority-with the result stated above. The quick-repair inner tube which is this year a standard feature of all of this firms tires, has made the position of doubIe-tube tires practically invincible, by making 1t quick and easy for the riders to se- cure, at the roadside, a permanent repair-a thing admittedly impos siole in the majority of single-tube accidents.
