1t is rumored he is on his way to England
to confer with Princess Kaulani who was
heir to the Hawaiian throne. The rumor
is contradicted by the royalist paper, which
claims his errand is personal and has no
political significance. In the same .ssue
the editor says:
The natural outcome of the present sit

ly retire and that Princess kaiulani will be
asked to head a new regime of which
Dole's present cabinet officers will be the
leaders"
The rCyalists claim that they have recaiv-
ed information TO the effect that Kaiulani
will be restored, while Supporters of the re-
public are under the impression that Presi-
dent Cleveland has empowered Minister
Willis to negotiate for annexat tior

American bicycles are having run in
ireland according to report by Vice Com
sui a. Dom Piatt at Dublin to the Stare
Department. He says the cycling press of
the entire united kingdom is wrought uo
over the American INVASION" as the adj
vent of American wheels is called. The
British makers try to show that the light
ness of the American wheel is at the cost
Of strength, and that it will not last. The
points most criticised are the shape of the
tubes, the form Of the wheels, the crank
bracket bearings, the width of tread. the
chain adjustment, insufiiciency of mud
guards. and especially the use of single
tube tires. The wooden rims and light
chains are pointed out to be points of
weakness. The consul advises that Amer
lean wheels for the English-Jrish market
should have gear case, If desired De-
tachable or single tube tires should be op-
tional An easily detachable brake and
mud guard should accompany each ma
chine. At the same time, the consul saws,
American manufacturers should refuse to
alter small details Of construction, as h,
predicts that the foreigners will ultimately
come to recognize the superiority Of the
American machine.
