An InhnrmOnious Meeting Of the
state Committee.

state Committee.
NORFOLK. VA. July 7-(Special)-
The Republican State Committed. called
by the State Executive Committee for tho
purpose OF calling congressional conven-
lions, met here ar 70 o'clock to-day, with
State Chairman Lamp In the chair. and
Colonel Asa Rodgers 81 Petersburg. as
secretary. The committee began its work
I'm any other than a harmonious manner.
Just after Chairman Lamb called the
meeting 10 order the roll-call of the COM
mitteemen by districts was begun. and
all proceeded smoothly until the call OF
the Fourth Tor Petersburg District, when
an objection was raised In the discus
sions which followed the bitterness be-
tween the Lamb and the anti-Lamb fac
lions was most clearly exhibited. Sic
objection 20 the call OF the delegates
from that district was made upon the
ground that the names az the ones being
called were those OF delegates who had
been elected under the plan OF the new
organization. when the meeting to-day
was under the old plan, and that the old
committeeman were tho only ones who
were entitled 10 have their names upon
the roll
Mr. Edgar Allan made n strong speech
IN supporting the claim that to-day's
meeting was called under the old orgsni-
cation (Which he claims Is the present
one). and that nothing could be done ex-
cept under the old plan. Chairman Lamb
replied 70 Allan. and stated that h's
understanding OF the call was entirely
different from that OF the gentleman
from Richmond. He believed that the
committee was meeting under the plan
or the new organization OF the party, as
adopted by the stanton convention. Az
ter considerable wrangling the following
Committee on Credentials was appointed:
9. A. Mckinney, First District; A. c.
Peachy, Second, Edgar Allan. Third; II.
A. wise. Fifth; a. T. Kellum, Sixth;
c. T. Hoffman, Seventh; o. Il. Hine,
Eighth; T. c. March. Ninth; J. w. Word.
Tenth. A recess was then taken till
O'Clock 10 allow the committee time 20
prepare a report but It was $50 before thu
committee reassembled. At midnight the
committee was still I'm session..

WHERE BICYCLES COME FROM.
Probably n Million Sold During the
Present Season.


It is a source of wonder where all the
bicycles come from. A careful eXamina-
ton Of the catalogues shows that there
are more than 900 different makes OF Die
cycles on The market. At some of these
establishments as maay as 100000 Wneels
are made annually. Practically there are
not PATENTS ON these machines, except on
uuimportant specialties, and so IL IS an
easy matter TO put d new wheel on the
market. There is not so much dinercnce
On wheels as one IS inclined 10 suppose.
Few manufacturers make a whole machine
i'm their own shops. but by far the larger
number buy the parts from some maker
and simply put them together, iinish then'
give them a name, and put them on the
market. For this reason "a fully equipped
bicycle mandatory can oe put IN run
ming order for 5000 or $500. Hundreds OF
wheels of different makes are produced,
every piece of which Is turned o~t OF 1le
same factory that furnishes the dlnereht
parts. and all that the mandatory re-
QuIres is "a good master mechanic ana some
ordinary hnishers and workmen. The b.
cycle is not an expensive thing TO build
and the difference between the cost or the
mount and the price II IS sold for is so
large that the manufacture OF wheels mas
been enormously stimulated. But were II
not for costly salesrooms. extensive adver-
tis.ng. and large commissions TO agents
the price Of the wheel would be very ma
tegially reduced to the purchaser IL Is
e iimatod that the present spring ana sum
nler al least 100000 wheels have been sold
in this country alone. which has involved
an outlay OF 100000 by the wheelmen OF
the United States. and still the demand
IS undated and bicycles are being mar
keted by the thousands every day.

4 Novel Cycling scheme Suggested
for Eudcnvor Week.


LOT InbrhNpE Nfth.
Washington starr
The bicycle promises TO make another
bid for popularity In a rather unique way
during the coming Christian ndeavor
Convention. II Is expected that owing 10
the number OF young people which com
pose the delegates there will be a large
percentage Of bicyclists among them. This
being the case. 1t has been suggested 70
give these visiting cyclists n chance 10
see the city and surrounding points OF
interest under very agreeable clrcum-
stances.
Parties OF ten or less Will be formed,
and a guide and a wheel furnished at a
very moderate cost.
A regular schedule OF tours will be made
up showing the points OF interest 20 be
visited, and giving the approximate time
required and cost OF same, including a
guide and machine.
The guide I'm each case will be some one
familisr with all the interesting features
OF the places on his tour. and able 10 give
short histories Of the principal points OF
interest along his route.
The tours will be Of two general classes,
each OF which will again be divided into
two sub-classes. The principal classes will
be city and suburban. and these Will be
divided into day tours and night tours.
The city tours will. of course, take in the
principal government buildings and parks
within the city limits. and will be from
one 10 two hours each. The night tours
I'm the city will include a spin from head
quarters the entire length Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue from the Rock-Creek bridge
TO the eastern branch and around the
northern boundary OF the city giving a
very fair idea OF the city by moonlight
The suburban trips viii include such
points OF interest Immediately surround
ing the city, as Arlington National Gene
terry, Soldiers Home, and even a trip TO
Mt. Vernon is among the possibilities m
this class The night trips under this
head Will take IN Cabin John bridge.
Chevy Chase, and Overlook Inn.
The scheme as q whole would un-
doubtedly furnish one of the novel at
fractions Of the convention, and would
afford the visitors rapid and pleasant
means OF seeing the entire city and sur
rounding country.
