THE CYCLE.
A Question Whether Wheelmen Should
 Take Part in the Campaign.

The question whether wheelmen should take any active part in the com ing political struggle is nice one and it is causing the leaders in the cycling world lot of worry. The officials of the League of American Wheelmen have given the matter much thought and they have practically decided as an organization to keep the1r hands of. They don't care. and it would not make any difference if they did, what the L. A. w. mem bers do as individuals. While the national organization will re- main passive, no one need be surprised to see local L. A. w. and even state divisions get mixed in the political broil. Political bicycle parades will very likely be lively feature of the campaign and the sound money as we'll as the silverites are already working up this end of the game. No one has ever mentioned baseball or the horse in politics which seems to show that the wind is blowing pretty strongly in the direction of the bicycle.
 The proboble price of bicycle for next year is subject much discussed these days. The most conservative men in the trade base their calculations in es. timating the probable price next year on the business credited to the older

Washington Democrats Elect Dele
 gates to Indianapolis.

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 25.-The state convention of gold standard Democrats met today and elected eight delegates to the Indianapolis conven- tion- The platform was adopted, the tenor of which is as follows:
 1.-The Democrats of Washington re- new their devotion to Democratic prin- ciples as enunciated by the National convention in 1892. The National convention at Chicago July last aban- doned Democratic principles, but we propose to remain faithful to both name and principles and are deter mined to preserve out old party in tact. The National Democrats de- clare they are opposed to adhe free and unlimited coinage of silver indepen- dently of any oUher nation, believing that such independent free coinage would result in debased currency, and in partial repudiation of public and private obligations, resulting in Ma tional dishonor"
 The convention was attended by fifty-four delegates, representing nine counties.

THE YAQUIS.
Possibility of the Death Sentence Be-
 ing Imposed on the Prisoners.

A complaint was made by Captain Dodge before United States Court Con- m ssloner Taylor against the Yaquis captured at Nogales for participating in a military expedition against a people at peace with the United States. The names of the three prisoners are Ma. nuel Mesa, Andres Gonzales and Luis Liso.
 The last named prisoners name was on the list procured from the dead body Of one of the Yaquis killed on the morn. ing of the assault. He now denies that his name is Luis Liso, and claims he is Luis Romero, but he has been identified as Liso by other parties who know him Two of the prisoners were arrested with arms upon them and Liso was taken in- to custody on account of his name being upon the list.
 The two prisoners in the Mexican jail have both confessed to being in the fight, but one claims he was enlisted by torce- These prisoners will be removed to Guaymas or Magdalena shortly, and it is proba ble that their fate will be ex- ecution.
 Jose Salcido, another of the Yaquis who was on the list, was brought in and placed in jail, and he will be tried with the others before Court Commis- sioner Taylor. United States District Attorney Ellingwood has been sent for and the examination will take place upon his arrival.
 The report generally circulated that the United States customs officlals crossed the line on the morning of the fight and fired upon the raiding Yaquis is untrue. They went to the line to stop the marauders, coming upon the American side and only fired after the Yaquis opened fire upon them.

Produce of Fractions of a Penny.

The old lesson as to little drops of water, little grains of sand" making the universe has had one more exempli- fication. It is the custom of the Bank of England not to pay fractions of a penny. In the case of dividends on government stock these fractions have in the course of years amounted to one hundred and forty thousand pounds, which amount, it is stated, was a few years ago paid over to the chan cellor of the exchequer.

FREIGHT MEN AT MINNEToNKA.

The judicial committee of the Fourth
judicial district met yesterday after
noon at the office of Chairman Louis
A. Reed. The purpose of the meeting
was to decide upon the issuance of the
call for the judicial convention which Is
to place in nomination two candidates
for the seats on the district court
bench now occupied by Judges Pond
and Smith. There was some discussion
over the proposition to call the con-
vention direct without the interven-
ton Of the county committees. This
plan, If it had been found practical,
would have suited some Of the candi-
dates, who fear a combination against
them
But the difficulty in the way of such
proceeding and the objection to ask
ing delegates from Isanti, Wright and
Auoka county to come to Minneapolis
to attend the convention in sufficient
numbers to make a thoroughly repre-
sentative body were so great as to de-
feat the suggestion. 1t was decided to
hold the convention in the Union
League rooms, Minneapolis, at 2
o'clock, Aug. 10. The basis Of repre-
sentation is one delegate for every 500
votes cast for Gov. Nelson and five
delegates at large This will give a
convention of SO delegates, as follows:
Anoka, s; Wright, IL; Hennepin, 81.
The calling the caucuses will be in the
hands of the county committees. 1t is
understood that the primaries will be
held Monday evening, Aug. 16, and the
county convention, Tuesday following.

Condition of the Lungs Easily Ascer-
Tanned by Means of the Light.
Boston Transcript.
More interest is taken in the cathode
ray exhibit in Mechanics building,
where the meeting Of the Massachu-
sets Medical society is being held,
than in all the other exhibits put to-
gether, and Russell hall was crowded
all the morning with medical men
anxious to see the revelations which
were being made there by the new
light. DR.. H. A Goldman has charge
of the exhibit, and it is one of the
largest and most complete ever shown
anywhere.
The chief object Of interest
the whole upper part of
mans body, penetrated by the ca
thode rays, is shown. This is done by
throwing the shadow from the tube
on a large canvas screen forming one
side Of a box in which the observer
sits. BY means Of this apparatus the
interior of the mans chest could be
plainly seen, with the outline OF the
different organs against the light from
the tube
ing was a consumptive, having had a
cough for about two years and the
cathode ray showed his condition very
distinctly. The right lung, which was
healthy, was penetrated by the light so
that the ribs on the front and back
could be seen plainly, but on the left
side the lung was tuberculous, and the
ray did not penetrate, so that only a
dark mass could be seen. This exhibit
ton caused the greatest interest, not
only among those of the physicians
who make a speciality of diseases Of the
lungs, but among nearly all who at
tended the meeting. There was a line
waiting ali the morning, which ex-
tended from the apparatus across the
room and out to the door of the main
hall, and, as it took less than half a
minute to make the examination, it is
probable that several hundred ply
sicians must have seer it up to noon.
Besides this large microscope, there
were several instruments of the or
binary kind, on which examinations
were made by means Of eye shields
one of these instruments was more
powerful than the one used on the large
microscope, although, of course only
small part of the body could be seen
by it. Not only could the ribs and
vertebrate be seen plainly when one of
the eye shields was held against a
mans chest, but when pair of for
ceps was held against his back, on the
outside of the coat they could be dis
tlnguished without difficulty. Several
or the men there had fractures in some
or their bones, and those were plainly
Shown by one of the machines giving
an excellent demonstration of the value
OF the cathode ray in medical work
In another part of the room photo
graphs made by the x ray process were
thrown upon canvas by a stereopti
con, showing some excellent cases of
broken bones and dislocated joints. and
also cases where objects were imbed-
ded IN the flesh, one or two of which
1t would probably have been imnos-
sible to find without the aid Of the ca
thode ray.

Judge BeIden's Ruling ON a Motion
for Fees

for Fees.
Judge Belden has denied Merrick and
Merrick a motion for attorney fees, in
the matter Of the assignment Of George
Vetter. The firm brought an action
and proceeded with the hearing of an
action to allow creditors to participate
in the assets without filing releases.
The memorandum says:
Il am unable to perceive that I have
any authority to order this claim paid
out Of the assets Of the estate. The
were on behalf of certain creditors,
whose claims in the aggregate consti-
tuted a small minority of all claims
proven. l do not think it can be sue
cessfully maintained that the order
denying the insolvent his discharge
was beneficial to the creditors in such
a sense that it follows that the SER
vices Of counsel in procuring such or
der were rendered in behalf of the es-
tate or Of the creditors generally For
aught that appears, the majority of
the creditors not joining in the pro-
ceed1ngS prosecuted by these attorneys
were entirely willing and content that
the insolvent should have his dis
charge, and / do not think it would be
just to compel those creditors to share
the burdens of the expense of such
proceedings. And Furthermore. I am
not aware Of any rule of law, statutory
or otherwise, that would warrant the
granting of the application"
The decision will be important in the
face of the large number of such ac-
lions which have been brought wholly
upon the wish Of the attorneys who
have been willing to rely upon getting
their pay from the estate at the hands
of the court, and not really from any
claim Of creditors. Many attorneys
have been allowed fees in such in
stances, and this will be blow to those
who anticipate such payment in the
future.
