GERMAN BICYCLE MAKERS.
DEEPLY CONCERNED OVER
AMERICAN COMPETITION.
Superiority of American Wheels
The Position Assumed by Cornell
The Diamond and Track.

Washington, June 27.-Charles De-
Kay, United States consul-generaI at
Berlin, in a report to the state depart
ment calls attention 10 the fact that
German bicycle makers are deeply con-
cerned at the now very large and
growing competition of American ma
chimes. The League of Industrials az
Beruham, an important manufacturing
center, has taken up the matter and
in a memorial to the German govern
ment calls attention to the fact that
this great industry is in imminent
peril, owing to the rivalry of American
bicycle manufacturers. They complain
that the United States levies a duty on
foreign made wheels of about $142S.
While the German duty. being only
s3.h on 100 kilograms, only from Il to
30 cents duty falls on the American
wheels.
OF these and other grounds the aid
OF the German government is asked
In behaf OF the home industry. The

is not because the American wheels
are OF foreign make that they sell SO
rapidly in Germany, but because they
are the strongest, nghtest, sOundest
and most elegant in shape They have

he also expresses the opinion that
large concessions could be made with
SAFETY TO the Germans in the way of
lower duties on German-made wheels.

by fire at an early hour this morning. The
flames started in the National hotel. a
two-story frame building at a. m. and

few inmates in the house escaped, but the
proprietor, w. L. Sproat in jumping from

leg, and Mrs. Edward Haley. the cook
had narrow escape from suffocation.

jumped to the ground. breaking both her
legs. and is in a precarious condition to-
night. The dry inflammable condition of
the building prevented any attempt to
save personal effects The seven other
buildings adjoining the hotel were also
destroyed. The town is without an or
ganized fire department, and this. added
to the scarcity of water, made it impossi-
bic for the citizens who turned out in full
force to do effective work. The buildings
were all cheap ones. and the total loss
will not be over $40. co., F'reshwater IS a
