THE CHAlNLESS WHEEL.
Likely to Develop a Fight in the BIZ
cycle World.

Likely to Develop a Fight in the BIZ
cycle World.
Toledo, O., Oct. 29.-The chainless-
bicycle question is going to develop
one of the biggest fights, it is claimed,
ever witnessed in the bicycle trade.
The fight will be between the Columbia
people and nearly all the other manu-
facturers who are out with '98 chain
less wheel.
There are a number of factories
where chainless wheels will be made,
although none Of them outside of Col
onel Pope appears to be anxious to
place chainless wheels on the market.
Among those that may be mentioned,
outside of Pope and Lozier, are the
Syracuse, Stearns, Western Wheel
Works, Yost and Spalding.
This combination recognizes the fact
that Colonel Pope had purchased the
old league chainless patents under
which the original bevel gear machines
were manufactured, and first decided to
test their validity and value. A syndi
cate was organized, a prominent Vest
ern concern taking the initiative and
the other manufacturers were sounded
on the subject. A fund was immedi-
ately raised to make a thorough investi-
CATION. Expert patent lawyers were
employed and nearly $4,000 was ex-
pended in carefully investigating the
premises.
One of the manufacturers who assist
ed in raising the fund has received a
letter from the syndicate to the effect
that the attorneys have reason to be-
Iieve that neither the league patent or
the bevel-gearing patents will hold.

GREAT NORTHERN ACCIDENT.
Freight and Stock Trains Como Together
With Fatal Results.

"ASh 0tol Results.
Great Falls. Mont, Oct. 29.-There
were meager reports here yesterday of
freight wreck 800 miles east on the line
of the Great Northern road, but officials
were very reticent, and not until the
westbound passenger train arrived to-
day and from special dispatches from
points along the line was it known that
terrific collision occurred two miles
east of Hinsdale, Valley county, be-
tween an eastbound stock train and a
double-header freight, in deep cut just
west of a sharp curve. All three en-
gines went crashing into an embank-
ment, and are tipped and such bad
wrecks that it will not pay to dig them
out of the debris. Twenty cars and
their contents burned. Both conducts
ors claim each was running on the
others time. Engineer Henry Neate,
of the stock train, was crushed to
death under his engine and three cars
of copper material, so that the remains
were not recovered for IL hours. En-
gineer John bayfield, was hurt in the
back, and probably fatally injured.
Brakeman Ovens leg was broken, and
he was internally injured. Fireman
Ladoeu's leg was broken, and he sus-
tanned other injuries.

A BULKHEAD GIVES WAY.
Two Men Were Drowned and Five In

Jured-One Seriously.
Oregon City, Oct. 2S.-A terrible &C.
cident occurred at noon today, causing
the death of two men, and iniuring five
others.
A gang of men had been working
night and day for a week to remove a
bulkhead, expecting to finish the work
this afternoon. The bulkhead was &C
feet long, and extended from the power
station on the east to the east wall OF
the boat canal on the west. AT the
lower end of the new extension OF the
pOwer-hOuse another bulkhead had been
constructed, and it was the intention to
take out the old one, in order to let the
water into the new section Tor the tur.
bines.
The workmen had removed a consid-
cradle portion of the foundation of the
old bulkhead, and today were Engaged
in taking. off the nuts and cutting the
bolts, intending to remove the entire
wall tonight.
The work gave way and flood of
water rushed in upon the workmen.
filling the section. At first it was sup
posed that every man was drowned.
An alarm was given and the water was
drawn from the canal as soon as posssi-
BILE, as it was found that the work of
removing the mass of broken timbers
and recovering the bodies of the
drowned men would be facilitated by
floating the mass of debris. After this
was done count of the men in the
gang was made. and it was found that
two men-Anton Natterlinand Jacob
Macomb-were missing.
These two men were evidently
drowned, and are no doubt beneath the
pile of broken timbers, which a large
number of workmen are now engaged
in removing. Natterlin an unmarried
man, and Macomb leaves wife and
child.
Among the five injured men, the
most seriously hurt are Carl Newberg,
whose head was severely cut and
bruised, and Harvey Little, whose left
arm was bruised and whose head and
face were badly cut.
The three men who escaped unin-
jured were: Jacob Weidick, Alvin Rich
ardson and Jacob Keane.
Thomas Smith had his spine hurt
and William w. Smith had one bone
of his right leg broken.
The accident was owing either to a
characterization of the weight of the
water behind the men or the strength
OF the bolts and timbers. Upon the
giving way of the wall the water rushed
into the lower section with terrific
force, carrying the timbers and all be-
fore it to the lower section. The men
who escaped fought their way through
the floating timbers and finally reached
point where they received assistance.

Important Decision In q Chinese Case
by Judge DeHaven.
San Francisco, Oct. 20. - United
States District Judge DeHaven render
ed an important opinion this morning
in the deportation case of the United
States VS.. Chung Ri Foon. 1t was
sought to deport Foon because he was

uuired of Chinese laborers, by section
6, of the act of Congress of May 8, 1892.
Foon arrived in Portland, Or, in
1875, and engaged in the general mer-
chandise business until the year 1892,
when he came to California, and went
into the business of restaurant and
clearinghouse keeper. In November
of that year he was arrested on charge
of robbery, and remained in the Kern
county Jail until January %, 1894, at
the end of which time he was convict
ed, and entered upon a five years term
of Imprisonment at San Quentin.
In the opinion Judge DeHaven held
that the defendant was laborer at the
time of his arrest, and therefore order
ed him deported from the United States

departments complicated cipher in,
Madrid. All of the work had to be.
undone at the state department, and
the message translated from the cipher
pack again into good English. This
occupied nearly all of the day, SO that
it was $3.50 O'Clock before the first copy,
of the message was turned out. 1t wasl
not SO long, in fact there was little less
than 1000 words in the message, for
Mr.. Woodtord, instead of cabling the
whole of the Spanish answer to his
note, had contented himself with reduc .
ing the matter to brief outline.
The first copy was taken at once to
the president. 1t was not entrusted to
messenger but was delivered by Chief
Clerk Michaels in person at the White
House. After due opportunity had
been allowed the president to read the
message, an application was made for
statement of it's contents or nature.
This was declined by Secretary Porter,
and it was said that under no circum-
made public before consideration by
the cabinet.
From unofficial information that has
reached certain administration officials
in advance of this message Of Mr.. Wood
ford as to the nature of the Spanish re-
ply, it is evident that in neither
language nor subject-matter is the COM
munication likely to be taken as often
sive by our government. 1t may be, it
is true, regarded as insufficient to meet
the issue presented by Mr.. Woodford in
his note, but officials of the state depart
ment say that in view of what has al
ready been accomplished by the new
Spanish cabinet in reforming abuses in
Cuba, in relieving Weyler, and project
ing what appears liberal measure of
autonomy. our government will certain
ly rest at least until congress assemblies,
and afford the new Spanish government
reasonable length Of time to carry out
it's plans.

New York, Oct. 29.-Tomas Estrada
Palma, the Cuban delegate to the
United States, when asked his opinion
Of the Cuban reforms proposed by the
Spanish ministry, said:
GAS the representative of the Cuban
provisional government, | am in po-
sition to state most emphatically that
the Cubans in arms will enter into no
compromise with Spain. The Cubans
are fighting for absolute independence,
and they will entertain no peace pro-
posals from the Spanish government
based on anything but absolute indie
pendence. The Cubans are firmly de-
termined to carry on the struggle until
their purpose is accomplished, and they
will listen to no proposition acknowl-
edging Spanish authority over Cuba.
Cubans will never accept autonomy, no
matter how ample, as solution OF
their struggle for independence. The
Cuban problem must be settled this time
once for all.
A mass meeting of Cubans will be
held in New York soon to voice opposi-
ton to the Spanish proposals.

Klondike Party With 245 Horses
Leaves Yakima for victoria.
North Yakima, WASH, Oct. a.
One Of the greatest of the Klondike ex-
petitions yet organized made a prelim-
mary start from this city today,
through the shipment of 10 carloads of
horses, numbering 245 head, and 80
men, headed by j. W. Cameron. They
go to Seattle, and will sail tomorrow
from Victoria by the Bark Colorado,
which has been chartered and espec-
tally fitted for this purpose. Few sup
plies will be taken at Seattle other
than those shipped from Portland, the
main Quitting being done at Victoria,
where 1875 head of cattle will be loaded.
The expedition is backed by Boston
capital, and the men employed are un-
der one and two-year contracts. They
will take the Dalton trail, and each
animal other than those to be used for
saddle purposes will have an equipment
of pack saddle and sled. Even the cat
tie are to be used in the transportation
of supplies. Permanent stations are to
be established along the trail, and it is
the intention to kill the horses when
they are no longer Of service for pack
Ing, freeze the meat and, by means of
sleds, take it to the d-producing re-
gions, where from 80 cents per pound
upwards is expected to be realized.
Forty wagons will also be taken for use
in the first Is miles after leaving
Pyramid harbor, and then bobsleds
will be utilized for transportation over
the snow and ice.
The men taken from here are mainly
packers, miners and mountaineers, who
are insured to all kinds Of hardships.
Their contracts specify that they shall
have sleepingbags. rubber and canvas
clothing, tents and everything necessary
to give them as much comfort as pos
sible in the region to which they are
going. A provision in the contract of
many Of them is that they shall be
outfitted for years prospecting on
shares. Some think the plans are Chi
merical, but those who are in charge Of
the expedition are Alaskan pioneers,
who thoroughly understand their bust
ness, and the financial backing is un-
questioned.

Battle Between Colorado Game Protec-
tors and Indians.
Rife. Colo, Oct. 28.-Reports from
Snake river are to the effect that Game
Warden Wilcox attempted to arrest
some Indians near Lily Park for vio-
lating the Colorado game laws, and was
fred upon by the Utes. Game Warden
Wilcox with several posses of deputies
and ranchmen are after the Indians,
and further conflict seems inevitable.
The excitement here is intense, and
parties are organizing to go to Wilcox
assistance, fearing general uprising
of the Indians.
The trouble commenced last week,
when the White River, Uncompahgre,
and Uintah Utes began pouring over
the line from Utah on their annual fall
hunt. The White River Utes are ex-
ceptionally ugly, and have apparently
been anxious to pick trouble with par
ties of whites with whom they have
come in contact. The Utes were in the
Meeker massacre and have never been
anything but ugly and waiting for an
opportunity to do mischief. There are
several hundred of them now in the
state.
Game Warden Wilcox with small
party statred out toward the Indian
camp and approached the camp unob-
served. The game warden was resisted
and finally fred upon by the Indians.
Then : set encounter followed in which
! number of Indians were killed and
wounded. It was reported that Warden
Wilcox's party also suffered severely.
