SPORTS AND PASTlMES,

Camp life for cyclists during the vacation
period promises to become, sooner or later
the proper thing for the devotees OF the
pastinle In this country. Several clubs In
London have established permanent camps
for their members. and these have been
exceedingly popular during the season.
Tire idea OF cyclists camps IN this country
originated from the experience Of the Lon
don clubs.
The Amateur Athletic Union has had a
great shaking up recently. and according
10 the opinions OF New York papers. Is
stronger than IL has ever been before. on
top Of this comes the announcement that
the work of the conference committee did
not produce anything new or surprising.
AS matter of fact, however. the New
York Athletic Club. which has recently
come back into the fold, succeeded in
scoring a point. or in other words. getting
even with Harry Cornish. Of the knicker-
booker Athletic Club. The knickerbocker
Club has been coming rapidly 70 the front.
which naturally awakened the jealousy OF
the New York Athletic Club. Then Cor
nfsh protested some OF the New York Ath-
letic Clubs men and the war Was on. The
change brought about by the crusade Of
the New York Athletic Club is 10 the ef
feet that the standing OF officials OF the
Amateur Athletic Union governing boards
viii be as closely scruunized as that Of
athletes
The New York Evening Telegram quotes
Secretary Sullivan. Of the Amateur Ath-
letIc Union as saying that Edgren, the
amateur weight thrower Of California who
assisted Corbett IN training for his battle
with F4fzsimmons. Is likely to have his
amateur status put under the Amateur
Athletic Union Y rays. There f. no doubt
Eastern athletes would like 20 see Edgren
put on the shelf. He is a dangerous man.

There i : good reason for secrecy in order
ing the strike. II the operators knew
a strike was coming they could push the
work ami have an enormous amount OF
coal on hand when the strike began. The
more coal on hand the better would the
operators be prepared TO fight the union
Another and more important point Is that
if the operators knew there was TO be a
strike they might make private contracts
with their miners. offering them slightly
increa sed wages in consideration OF a
contract not to strike.
'.The strike of 1894 was expected by the
operators, and immense stock piles were
accumulated Besides. when the strike
Of "a was declared, it was a month be-
fore the lake season was opened. Now the
lake season is at its height. Millions OF
tons OF coal must b e rushed To theNoTthweSt
ere navigation closes II a week is lost by
shippers and dealers now, il cannot be
made up, and the result will be tnat coal
will have to be shipped up North by rail
at freight rates many times as heavy as
the lake rates. Notwithstanding all this,
in 1894 hot a single miner lost by strik-
ing, and many went back to work at
largely increased wages.

FIREWORKS In CHINATOWN
Evening Display in the Quarters Of
the Celestial Colony.
InfernaI Machines Larger Than a
Mans Leg That Make More
Noise Than q Boiler shop.

There were two supreme pleasures In
the fireworks and of the LIBERATION last
night. If one didn't accomplish either OF
these his enjoyment was light and in
significant There was the West front OF
the Capitol from which to see the pyIo-
technics, aud there was the center OF the
Chinese quarter to hear them.
On the terrace and the steps west of hte
Capitol building there was a crowd vari-
ously estimated at from 5000 10 $4,000
In number, Tut, at any rate. So densely
packed that it was impossible for some
time to get through It. These people,
mostly young men and women in debonaire
summer Costun.es, the cream of the dag .
ssght-seers, atched the end OF the Inde-
pendence Day pageant. 1t was the IN
cessarr flaring Of muititudes of lights all
over the city, and in Alexandria, and
Arlington, and Georgetown. and Mount
Pleasant, and Unioutown.
They slot and blazed and exploded and
fell after the manner OF all skyrocSetS, out
.ogether they made a tremendous spec
tscie, even IL there was as many coming
down as was going up. The city was
continuously for two or three hours per
cepttbIy lighted up by them
Down on the Avenue, between Third
aud Four and a-haf streets, was the place
70 hear the fireworks Quong Sang Lnng and
one or two other Cinnamon let off all the
crackers and other devilish implements OF

cialties that hadn't been offered to them.
Surely there was everything that makes
war terrible. as IL Is practieed in China
There is no other such nOise under heaven
as a Chinese celebration.
Here on the Avenue there We're five or
six thousau5 people, so great a crowd that
il blocsed traffic. They had heard OF the
Chinese noise and wished to experience IL.
The chief delight OF a Chinese ceIebrant

OUR RUINED CUBAN TRADE.
Director Smith Says 1t Has Fallei
Off $4,000 600 in "a Year.

Director Smith. Of the Bureau ofAmerican
Republics, In survey of the commercial
relations OF countries ON this continent,
says regarding the serious effect on West
Indian trade with the United States the
past two years caused by the Cuban in
surrectiOn:
Comparing the United States Treasury
figures for 1895 and 1895 we find that
there was a falling off in one year OF
considerably more than $12, 900 900 In
imports from Cuba and OF over $4,000 :
coo in exports tc that island Compared
with 1894, the figures for 1896 show a
reduction OF over S25, 900 900 in imports
and Of nearly $4,000, 900 in exports.
Under normal conditions, Cuba is almost
entirely dependent upon the United States
for a market :or her products, and with a
proper reciprocity arrangement its sales OF
manufactured goods there could be greatly
increased American capital invested in
Cuba already aggregates vast sum, and
with the restoration Of peace and order
to the island the development of the in
terests OF the United States there to
great proportions would be a question OF
time"
