The filter has not been

Timely Topics
A FEW WORDS ON BlCY-
Giles AND CUTLERY.

voted to the bicycle business
we read that dealers in biCy-
cleS are authority for the state
ment that the business aspect
of the bicycle trade has mate
rally changed during the past
year. Instead of the main
business consisting in dealing
with mems wheels, quite the
contrary is true. Dealers are
now doing their utmost to
attract the eyes of the women.
All of which shows that the
ladies are taking very kindly
to bicycle riding all over the
world. And it is the same
here, the demand for ladies'
wheels is continually increas-
ing. We have received five
of the TRIBUNE LADIES'
WHEELS on this steamer and
have more on the way. These
wheels are Of this years make,
direct from the factory, no back
numbers, and have all the latest
Improvements.
We have also a number Of
Tribune racers and gents road
STEERS, and a number of "Zim-
my" wheels. This is an en-
tirely new machine, named
after the great rider, thinner
mann, and we shall be pleased
to explain its merits to in
tending purchasers.
But we started in to say a
few words on CUTLERY, of
which we received an i'm
menSe assortment on the Aus
tralia, which is now unpacked
and on exhibition. In table
cutlery we have an immense
variety in new and elegant
patterns and all sizes. In poCk-
ct cutlery we have a number
of new designs. Knives to
cut lead pencils and knives to
trim your finger nails with, and
knives to cut down your ex-
penses with. We have prun-
ing knives which are just the
thing for the members of the
Legislature to use in cutting
down the appropriation bills,
and some suitable for the Adj
vertiSer man to do his Cheese
pairing" with. In fact we
have all kinds of knives, large
and small, light or heavy, but
all of them of the best quality
and manufacture.
We have carving knives
with ivory, buckhorn or bone
handles, butcher knives, skin
ming knives, knives with cork
screws in them for camping
out or staying at home. In
fact we have all sorts of knives
suitable for all sorts and con-
ditions Of people.

SHARON, Pa, April Letters from
Canada state that an autopsy will be
made on the remains of Miss Oily Reich
ard, who met death in a mysterious man
ner at Hamilton, Canada if the United
States guarantees the expenses that will
be incurred, The citizens of Sharon and
Sharpsville will possibly raise sum for
this purpose, as they are determined to
probe the mystery to the bottom. Laf-

from here with Miss Reiohard, is keeping
in seclusion, and is reported to be i'll and
in dangerous condition.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, April 1.-The high

a big dam at White Haven, and property
to the extent of 500. 600 was destroyed The
dam supplied the town with its water
supply. There is no water to run the cleo
trio light plant, and the town last night
was in darkness. The Susquehanna river
overhowed its west bank, and all the low
lands between Pittston and Nanticoke are
oyerilowed. At o'clock last night the
river was nineteen feet above the high
water mark.

Probably blown Up at Sea.

ST. JOHN, N. b., April 1.-Steamer Lord
Charlemont, Captain Parker, just arrived
from Belfast, reports that ON March IS a
vessel was sighted showing signals of dis
tress. 1t was nightfall, and strong wind
was blowing with heavy squalls. Captain
Parker bore down towards the unfor-
tunate vessel, but before he reached her he
saw a sudden heavy glare of flame, then
all became dark. The steamer was headed
to where the lights were observed, but
nothing could be seen to even give an in
dication that vessel had foundered. 1t is
supposed she blew up and that all on board
perished

the guilty of all further power of out
rage and massacre. The Turk is to
be coerced The Sultan is to be re-
duced. in fact, if not actually in name,
to vassalage. His fate will be made
known to him probably before the end
of the present week. Russia France
and Great Britain have decreed it.
Should he resist or fail to bow at once
TO the inevitable, then the combined
fleets of these three powers will en-
force their behest.
Such. in brief, is the infinitely well
come news which will bring relief and
a sense of restored self-respect to the
whole Christian world. IL is not Off
cially announced yet; it may even be
discredited in certain quarters for a
few hours as premature. Nevertheless,
/ am prepared to reaffirm it without
reservation. 1t was not until yester-
day that the conclusion was reached.
Russia. France and Great Britain ar
rived at a substantial agreement upon
the plan of action last week, but there
remained the necessity of getting the
consent Of the other three powers
which were signatOries to the Berlin
convention. Italy and Germany agreed
without much demur. AustTi hest
tated long, and it was not until after
yesterdays emergency Cabinet cOun-
Gil in London, which discussed and ap-
proved the whole plan, that the Aus
trian ambassador notified Salisbury of
the rather unwilling consent of his Gov
eminent that the Russian, French and
British fleets shall force the Dardanel-
les, if necessary, in the execution of
the new policy.
1t is impossible at this moment to
furnish the exact details of the So
luton of the Turkish problem which
has been agreed upon. 1t may, how
ever, be partially defined in a negative
way 1t provides nothing so radical
as division of the Turkish empire.
Such a project has not been for a mo-
ment considered. The integrity of Tur-
key will be substantially maintained.
The terms of the new policy have prac-
tically been dictated by Russia. 1t
came about finally that English and
other representations brought home to
the Cars Government a realization
of the fact that the policy of inaction,
for which it is chiefly responsible, in
the face of the accommodating horrors
of Turkish misrule, had become intol-
cradle Even French influence has
been for some time strongly in favor
of some form of intervention. Russia
eventually yielded, in principle, but the
cussion of ways and means has 0c
cupied nearly three months.

Proposition.

San Diego Considers Mr.. Potter's
Proposition.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. IA meet
ing was held at the Chamber of Com
merce tonight between E. G. Potter and
A H Butler, the promoters of the new
Transpacific Steamship Line, and cit
liens of San Diego. Mr.. Potter went
into his subject exclusively, present
ing figures showing the feasibility of
new line from San Diego in connec-
ton with the Santa Fe Railway sys
TEN, and saying that in connection
with the new Trans-Siberian Railway
and superior steamship connection in
the Orient, the trip around the world
would be shortened greatly and the
time from East India to London made
three days shorter than the SueZ route.
He proposed, he said, to organize
company with a capital of $5,000,000
or IS. 900. 900 to build steamships of
about 5000 tons each, of 20-knot speed,
to ply between San Diego and YOko-
hama and perhaps Hong Kong via Ho-
nolulu He presented letters from
prominent men of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn promising their support and finan-
cial aid in the enterprise. Mr.. But
Ter also spoke, handling the subject
from the Japanese STANDPOINT ana SET
ting forth the benefits to be derived by
