bills OF Importance to Wheeimen Which
the Legislature Didn't Pass.

BALTIMORE. May l6.-Maryland cyclists were
ruthlessly thrown down by the Legislature
which has adjourned recently. The wheelmen
Of the State, headed by che Maryland Division,
League Of American Wheelmen, asked for four
things and got one, and that one was of the least
consequence according to their way of think
ing. The cyclists did not fail because of any
laxity in the methods employed In pushing their
cause. In fact, of all the recent movements for
cycle legislation none was more vigorously
pushed than that in Maryland. The officers of
the local organization were constantly at An
napolis doing everything in their power to have
their bills become laws, and, as the greatest
stroke. they hired q and had close on
to a thousand cyc!ers in costume crowd the leg
~islative halls for an entire day.
The wheelmen wanted a new road law. They
also wanted sign posts put up at important cross
roads Of the State and n law making it an
offence to throw on the highways anything in
Jurions TO pneumatic tires. The only thing in
which they succeeded was in penalizing the
ways. OF all the legislation offered, that on
which they had their hearts set was to compel

was successful in New York, and was in line
x xrne lean w V;hsehE nh has Declared Zee sI itss ti1 ali over er
the country: This bill got through the House,
but was killed in the Senate.
The cyclists felt no particular anger over the
defeat OF their other measures. but they are up
in arms over the fate of their Baggage bill; They
say they have spotted the men who killed 1t, and
frage they will feel the weight of the bicycle
vote. Furthermore, though the Legislature
does not again convene in Maryland for two
years, the wheelmen have already declared for
a political campaign, to secure the free carriage
cyclists here were similarly thrown down
by the City Council in their agitation
for improved streets. Ihereupop they started
and questioned every candidate for cleo
ton to the City Council as to whether he was In
favor of the Improvement. Every one an
swered In the affirmative excepting one, who
ignored the questions of the wheelmen.. That
man was defeated by the bicycle vote. and when
the City Council met all the members were in
line for good streets, which are now a fact to a
large extent in Baltimore, A similar campaign
Legislators comes IN. All candidates will be
put on record about the baggage and road bills.

Philadelphia, June 19.-Albert Wood,
thirty-two years of age, the proprietor
of a photograph gallery at Washington
Park, in this city, and Richard Mensec,
aged twenty years, a visitor to the re-
sort, were shocked to death last night
in a singular manner Mensec. at the
conclusion of an evenings pleasure, WIS.,
tied the photograph gallery and as he
approached the place threw out his
hand and scraped wire screen. He
had no sooner touched the wire cover
ing than he was thrown distance of
ten feet, screaming with pain. His
companions gathered about him and in
a few minutes the proprietor Of the gal
lery, Woods. came to the outside to
learn the cause of the commotion. He
was told that Mensec, who was uncon-
seious, had been shocked by touching
the screen, but this he was loath to be-
lieve. Woods touched the screen him
self and was thrown heavily back
wards. The victims were taken to the
Samaritan hospital. but when that in
stitution was reached they We're both
dead.
The wire which feeds the arc lights

BRITISH MINISTER
WANTS PROPOSALS
England Is Ready to Arbitrate on the
Veaezuelan Question.
MORE TROUBLE on THE BORDER
Although Not Officially Confirmed, II
Is Evident That Trouble Of a More
or Less Serious Character Has DC.
curred..Trinidad Probably the
Scene Of Conflict.

London, June 19.-The under secretary
for foreign AFFAIRS. Mr. George N. Cur
zon, answering question in the house
OF commons today, regarding the Vene-
zuelan situation, said that the British
ambassador at Washington, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, was authorized to receive
and report on proposals made by the
Venezuelan representative at WASH
ington. The latter Mr. Curzon continu-
ed. had been informed Of this, but up
to the present had not made any pro-
posal.
Negotiations were proceeding with
the United States, both In regard to q
definitive frontier and the arbitration Of
the frontier question with Venezuela
under proper conditions Of discussion.
The latter question, Mr.. Curzon fur
ther stated does not offer any obstacles
to the conclusion Of general arrange
ment with respect to arbitration, which
the government hopes to see concluded.
Inquiries made at the colonial office
today show that the secretary of state
for the Colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamber
lain, has not received any confirmation
of the reports from Caracas that a san
culinary conict had taken place In the
territory in dispute between British
Guiana and Venezuela, and the rumOr
Is not credited there.
1t Is further stated that no informa-
tion had been received from Caracas or
Georgetown which would tend to
alter the statement made by the secre-
try of state for the Colonies In the house
of commons yesterday, namely, that 1t
was true that Venezuelans had crossed
the boundary and had interfered with
British officials who were engaged In
the work of surveying. But no men,
tion was made Of a conflict Of sanguin-
ary nature.
Washington, June 19.-Although II
cannot be learnde that official confirma-
ton has been received as to conflict
between the British and the Venezuelan
| forces, yet 1t Is accepted as certain In
official quarters that trouble of a more
or less serious character has occurred
| The first report came from a British
source at Kingston, and referred tt
Venezuelan interference with British
surveyors.
Officials here say that Trinidad Is thu
| point most likely to hear Of conflict
as 1t Is an island just opposite George
| town, British Guiana. There Is hesita
tion to accept the reports Of the actua
fighting, for the most serious phases o.
the trouble have never before brought
on fighting, except in the trihing Uruar
| incident. when one British Inspector
| Captain Barnes-was arrested.
Minister Andrade of Venezuela ha!
received no word from Caracas as t.
the reported trouble. He feels conf
dent that If a clash has occurred 1t II
not due to any offensive steps by thu
Venezuelan troops, as they are unde
strict orders all along the line to mak'
no advances and to maintain only thu
status quo, in view Of the pending nego
tiations.
The British embassy here has re
ceived no information on the subject.

CABINET POSSIBILITIES.
Gossip Concerning Statesmen Who
May Become Mckinley's Advisors.

ST. Louis. June 19-The politicians
who remain today are discussing the
personnel of McKinley's cabinet, in the
event of his election.
AS a vigorous foreign policy will be
one of the features of Mr.. McKinleys
administration he would naturally give
much care to the selection Of his secre-
tary of state.
General Benjamin Tracey. of New
York, who was President Harrison's
secretary of the navy, is well regarded
by some of the men whose influence
with Mr.. Mckinley will be very great
General Tracy Is brilliant lawyer,
and it was an open secret in Washing
ton that at the time of the Chilian COM
plications growing out of the Baltimore
incident General Tracy was the presi-
dents trusted adviser on all the chang
ing phases of that embarrassing prob
lem. 1t should be stated in this con-
ncction that Mr.. Blaine. who was the
secretary Of state, was, during the
greater part of this period. Ill at his
home in Augusta which left the state
department practically without a head
for several months.
There is also talk Of Senator Sherman
accepting again the treasury portfolio
but to this the objection is made that
the work of that department under a
new administration is Of too trying a
character for q man of Mr.. Sherman's
age, Notwithstanding he Is still in the
full possession of all his mental and
physical faculties.
Mr.. McKinlsy's friends also feel that
the administration should have strong
champion on the floor of the senate, as
Mr.. Sherman. would undoubtedly be, and
Is another consideration which initiates
against his selection for cabinet honors.
Henry Clay Evans. of Tennessee, 1t
Is thought would be rendered the post
office portfolio in the event of his fail
ing to be elected next tutumn as COVER
nor of Tennessee. He has had expert
ence in the post Office department, hav-
ing filed the Office of first assistant
postmaster general under President
Harrison. The Mckinley Managers also
think well of enator Mitchell, of OregC' +.
who has been staunch supporter Of
their champion, and it is freely predict
ed that he too. will be rendered cabi-
net post, presumably that of attorney
general If the Legislature Of his state
fail TO return him next winter to the
senate.
