A GIANT TRICYCLE.

In this age of big" things one is al
ways prepared for the construction OF
mammoth engines, ships, buildings and
public works, and the rage for the super
lative seems to be universal 1t has even
invaded the bicycle world, where at least
one would think size and weight were
at discount, and, moved by it's in
spiration, New England firm has pro-
duced the colossal-no other word Justly
describes it-tricycle
1t is driven by eight men, which is, it
Is true, only two more Nan are mounted
on sextuplette, but whereas the latter
weighs approximately as much per man
as an ordinary single machine, the tri-
cycle weighs about 300 pounds to the
rider, the total weight, with the men
mounted, being about a ton and half.
The front wheel is six feet, Nd the rear
wheels are eleven feet in diameter. The
frame consists of two parallel trusses
which are arranged side by side and
finish at the front in a cross truss, to
which the steering head is attached
The steering is done by one man. Each
side wheel is driven by the four riders
which are nearest to it, and a curious
feature of the machine is that 1t is gear
ed down instead of up. This was render
ed necessary by the great dead weight
which had to be moved. Even If the
crank sprockets and the wheel sprocket is
had been of the same size, the gear
would have been fS2, whereas 1t has beer
geared down to 54. The total length OF
the machine is seve/teen feet.
The tires are pneumatics tires, made
exactly in the same way as the ordinary
Vim roadster tire, and they are, there
fore, single tubes. This Jumbo" among
cycles has been put to pactical test on
the roads, having been ridden from
Boston to Brockton, Mass, distance OF

LYCEUM LEAGUE MEETING
Eighth Semi.Annual Convention Held at
Pajadena
The Southern California Organization
Takes a New Name and Is Now the
Pacific Lyceum Association

PASADENA, Dec. 19.--The eighth
semi-annual convention of the Southern
California association of the Lyceum
leagues of America convened at the Pas
adena High school yesterday, with Ill
delegates present. The Lyceum league
is an organization for the promotion of
higher type Of citizenship among young
Americans. 1t was inaugurated by the
Youths Companion in 1891, on October
21st, the anniversary of the discovery of
America. Seventeen hundred lyceums,
with a membership of over $4,000, show
the extent and rapidity with which the
of the league has in the past been under
the supervision of the directorate, which
has had on it's board such men as ex-
Gov. William L. Russell. Ex-Governor
John D. Long, Rev. Edward Everett
Hale, Hon. VIM. 7. Harris, VIM. Dean
Howells, VIM. Harper, president of Chi
cago University, Edgar Wilson Nye,
Hon. Waldo M. York and J. G. Schur-
man, president of Cornell University.
At the convention action was taken
whereby an entirely independent asso-
citation of the Pacific lyceums was form
ed. which leaves it in the hands Of the
western association to issue charters and
conduct it's own affairs, independent of
the organization known as the Lyceum
iCd5 uc VI <AIHeIlCd, WHICH, IL seems, mas
for some time appeared to be both dead
and defunct.
Homer Lea of Occidental college was
elected president, and VIM. NJ Hilliker
of Progressive Lyceum of Los Angeles,
was elected secretary of the new organ
ization.
At the evening session, which was held
at Throop University, eight orators from
the various cities of Southern California
contended for handsome medal, which
was won by the only lady contestant
Miss Margaret F. Potts of the Progress
sive Lyceum. Los Angeles.
The young people who have thus asso-
ciated themselves seem to realize that
the time has come when it Is necessary
that all our citizens should be taught
thoroughly the principles of government
and their duties before they are elected
to office, rather than to learn it after
wards at the expense and spoliation of
the country. The organization should
grow and flourish, for this is the spirit
which promises to place our free gov
ernment where the forces of dissolution
and decay cannot reach it.

Mr.. Quigg of New York, member of the
foreign affairs committee of the house,
said: "The secretary's statement ex-
presses my view of the relation of con-
gress to the act of acknowledging SOW
ereignty. l don't think we have any
thing that can be described as power.
If it requires the presidents signature to
change the name of prairie postoffice,
it certainly ought nCI to- be possible
without his signature to change the
status of the nation. But the secretary,
think, is unduly anxious. The Cameron
resolution will not get past the house
committee, in my opinion.
1.-THE Cuban question must await the
judgment of President Mckinley. We
are not going to start his administra-
tion with a war, at least until he has
a chance to say whether in his judgment
a war is what the people want"
Mr.. Pearson of North Carolina, of the
foreign affairs committee Of the house,
said: "Mr. Olney's interview surprises
me more than did the action of the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations. Its
tone Of assumed infalliblity, not to say
of arrogance, is likely to intensity the
feeling and add to the force and number
of the extremists In both houses"
Representative McCreary of Ken
lucky. of the foreign affairs committee,
did not think it proper to express his
views.
Chairman Hit and several other
members of the foreign affairs commit
tee are out of the city. A Republican
member who voted in the committee last
session for the resolution to recognize
the insurgents as belligerents, said:
"The more we study the question of the
right of the government to interfere in
Cuba on the broad grounds of humanity,
the more plain it becomes that we would
have as much right to free Ireland. All
of this delay and trouble would have
been averted and the conflict in Cuba
might have been stopped long ago if the
executive had interfered on the ground
of the treatment of American citizens
down there, which he had a right to dc" "
COTTON GROWERS OBJECT.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec IA petition
to United States Senators Harris and
Bate, urging them to exert their infiu-
nece against the Cameron resolution,
was circulated here today among the
cotton growers and received the sigma
lures of many influential planters of this
section. The petition recites that the
recognition of Cuban independence
would probably bring on war with
Spain, and adds:
1--WE feel that war with Spain inevita-
bly, means further decline in the price
of cotton, not only for this crop, but also
for the next one, and that there Is no
adequate reason why such misfortune
should be brought upon u.s."

SWEARING THE SENATOR'S
Should Be Done In q Manner Entirely
Legal
Lieutenant-Governor Jeters Position Is
Somewhat Doubtful in the Opin-
ion of Republican Politicians

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.-The ad-
visibility and even the right of William
T. Jeter to swear in the new members of
the state senate is seriously questioned
by an important group of the Republican
members of that body. To avoid COM
plications which may grow out OF the
contention that Mr.. Jeter does not hold
the position Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
legally, they believe that Senator Flint
as president pro tenn of the senate,
should administer the oath of Office to
the twenty senators-elect. OF Flint's
right to do so and the validity of an
oath thus administered, Republican
leaders say there is no question.
Upon the other hand. it is argued that
should Mr. Jeter swear in the new MEM
bers and it be declared subsequently that
his appointment as lieutenant-govern
is invalid, all subsequent legislative acts
might be rendered nugatory.
Republican senators claim that the re-
fusal of the supreme court to issue writ
of mandamus last fall against the gov
ernor to compel him to include in his
election proclamation the election of a
lieutenant-governor only went to the
point of declaring that there was no law
requiring the governor so to do. This is
an oversight which the legislature will
rectify at it's coming session, but mean
time it is held that there has been no
contest for the office of lieutenant-g gov
ernor, and as one will probably be made
that may result in the overthrow of Mr..
,Teter'S claims il is declared that IL would
be the part of prudence that the sena-
tors elect be sworn in by the president
pro tenn of the senate.

DEATH OF DIR. JOHN ELLIS.

Dr. John Ellis of New York City died
December 3 at his home there of pneu-
monia at the advanced age of 81 years
He had the honor of being the first prac-
titioner of the homeopathic school in
the state of Michigan. His many con-
tributions to the profession were Of the
highest order and his skill was excep-
tional. He was the first to ligate sue
cessfully both carotid arteries.
The New Church throughout the coun-
try and the civilized world will mourn
his departure, for he has been one Of it's
most ardent and efficient promoters.
The doctor, with his wife, spent last
winter in this city and neighborhood,
with which he was seemingly we'll
pleased, and especially with the climatic
character of Pomona. The church, too,
was complimented by their presence,
which will ever be pleasantly remem-
bered. His mistake in life was in not
taking up his abode in this fair region,
as was suggested to him by friends.

severest censure. The idea of announc
ing in advance that the president will
not carry out the expressed will of two
thirds of congress is reprehensible.
Senator Hale of Maine. one Of the ac-
tive opponents of the resolution, said:
Secretary Olney is clearly right. Rec
ognition rests with the executive. The
resolution would be usurpation on the
part of congress of executive functions.
1t is we'll that Secretary Olney has made
the statement. 1t will afford an oppor-
tunity for the sober second thought of the
people to find expression
Senator Daniel, member of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, said: "The
position Of Secretary Olney is preposter-
ous." The senator was not at the meet
ing yesterday, and when asked concern
ing his position, said: II am not ready

How can he say, as he does in his state
ment, that the resolution which the COM
mittee has agreed to report may inflame
passion both in this country and else
where, may thus put in peril the lives
and property of American citizens who
are residents and travelling abroad, and
will certainly obstruct and perhaps de-
feat the best efforts of this government
to afford such citizens due protection
after he has slept on the rights of Amer
lean citizens in Cuba until the presi-
dent acknowledges that many of them
have been killed and their property de-
stroyed when they were nom combatants
and innocent of all charges, is more than

matter, especially in his acquiescence
in the butche.y of American citizens in
Cuba, scarcely recommends hm to the
American people. For one, resent and
detest it,
Il cannot conceive" said Senator
Blanchard, that Secretary Olney could
have given utterance to the statement
attributed to him. What! Congress
tion of Cuban independence?
'If this authority does not exist in
congress it exists nowhere. Yet, here
is a novel contention that the power
which may declare war can recognize
sovereignty. 1t is preposterous. Sup
post the situation were reversed; that
the president desired to recognize Cuba;
congress was opposed; that the execu-
tive purpose was forestalled by a resolu-
ton of congress declaring against rec
ognition, could the president issue his
proclamation of recognition. and if he
did, what force and effect would 1t have
against positive law forbidding it, and
would it be binding on the nation, the
people or the courts? 1t would seem
not.
IF the Cuban resolution passes both
