UTOPIA FOn BlCYCLERS.
In France There Are Signboards TO
Warn One of Dangers

United States Commercial Agent
Griffin has contributed special report
to the department OF state on Bicycles
in France containing some figures
showing that the sudden increase in the
use of the wheel WAS not confined TO
England and the United States but hat
France likewise has become a victim to
the craze. At present there are 100000
bicycles in France, o. one to every
fifty persons able TO ide, and upon each
of these machines the owners pay tax
of $l.93 per annum.
The excellence of the French roads
is the reason for the popularity of the
bicycle. The bicyclists' society
carefully explored every route and in
dictated on their charts all dangerous
descents sharp curves. steep inclines,
and sign boards have also been erected
for the special guidance of the cyclists
so that they are as fully equipped as a
captain of a ship steering for strange
port. This gives great confidence to
the riders and prevents many acct
dents. Mr.. Griffin says that many BIZ
cycles are imported into France from
the United States and there is no rea-
son why they should not have even
larger sale.

find accommodations. The track is
exactly four miles from the center of
Louisville, and may be reached by a
trolley car line or over two excellent
streets by bicycle.
The great beauty of this track is that
the man on the inside has very little ad-
vantage over the others. The stretches
are long and wide, and as the highest
speed is always made at these points
the riders have an even chance On

SPEAKER REEDS ACTION.

Going Outside the Unwritten Law ms
to the Free Library COnferees.
"The criticism in The Star in respect Of
the very extraordinary action Of Speaker
Reed in going outside Of the District COM
mittee in selecting conferees on the free
library bill, is fully justified, and Is, as
The Star says. an unusual procedure -
said a prominent republican Senator Of
long service in the House to a Star re-
porter.
'There are no rules governing the mat
ter-Congress being without joint rules-but
the unwritten law which governs in such
cases as fully as though it were a specific
rule. required the appointment of members
Of the District committee.
Mr.. Powers Of Vermont had no such
parliamentary or legislative connection
with the bill as justified his selection as
cOnferee, and his appoin tment is construed
by some as the Indication Of a purpose of
Speaker Reed to defeat the bill unless the
that Is denied by other friends Of the bill
who insist that the Speaker really favors
the Senate bill. The established practice
of the House IS to instruct its conferees
on particular items and not to slight the
committee in charge of the measure"

conferees favoring the House amendment

The katahdih1t Successful Trial.

The Secretary Of the Navy today received
the report Of the board of inspection upon
the result of the THAI tip of the ram Ka-
tahdin this week. accofding to the report
the engines, boilers and. auxiliary machin-
cry performed Satisfactorily throughout
the run, and the guns, gdn mounts, fittings
etc, worked prop&iy. The total average
speed for the four hours of the run was
1915 knots. Forced drat was used for one
hour in each direction, and the highest run
ming speed for one hour was 14.15 knots
During the trial the ship was very steady
her pitching and rosling being scarcely per-
ceptible. She steered wildly at times, due
to a great extent to tie inexperience of the
helmsman. She carried heavy bow wave
when steamihg at any considerable speed
necessitating the closing of the battle
matches With the wind ahead or on the
bow heavy spray was thrown on the
bridge. In the opinion Of the board, with
the exception of several minor defects, in
construction, which can be easily remedfed,
''the ship Is well built and sufficiently
strong, and the hull. fittings. equipment,
engines, boilers hid apparatus have hutsex.

How the Trouble Could Have Been
Avoided.
Just before the hearing closed Commis-
sioner Harlow of the civil service commits
sion expressed the belief that If Mr.. Bene-
dict had come to the Office Of. the commits
sion when he was invited to do so, The en-
tire misunderstanding would have been
avoided, and all of this unpleasantness
would have been prevented by q mutual
understanding.
Mr.. Benedict retorted that he never had
the opportunity to meet the commission,
having only been invited once, when he
eas entirely too busy to accept. Mr. PROF.
ter, however, said, as the meeting broke
up. that Mr.. Benedict had been invited sew
eIal times.
The committee will now take the matter
under consideration. and will report to the
Senate its conclusions in the premises.
