KILLED BY A BICYCLE "A bicycle in
the home of Jerome Jones, of New
York, though no one was riding it last
evening, cause.-the death of Jones's son,
eleven months old. The father bought
the wheel few days ago, and it has
been the pride of the tenement. So
highly did the man prize his wheel he
kept it in his bedroom. Mrs. Jones
was preparing supper Tuesday night
and the sleeping baby became restless
on the bed. To keep him from falling
to the floor she wheeled the bicycle to
the bedside, making safety railing of
it. When supper was ready and wait
ing for the husbands return Mrs. Jones
went TO see how the baby was sleeping.
In the dim light of the room, she saw
that the bed was empty, and, alarmed,
she ran to the window and raised the
shades. After moments search she
found her child caught in the wheel
aud dead. The little boy had fallen
from the bed, and, catchipg his foot in
the sprocket wheel, had pitched for
ward through the frame. In his cramp-
ed position the child had been unable
to make any cutlery aud rush of lblood
to the head had caused his death, while
the mother was only few feet away.
When the father returned he took the
bicycle from the room, and, with tears
in his eyes, gave it to neighbor, say.
ing 1T killed my boy and ! never
want to see the thing again"

BOMBS IN CoNSTANTINoPLE.

A dispatch from Constantinople says
that an explosion took place yesterday
within the precincts of the palace. The
dispatch also says that almost stimuli
taneously with the explosian an Ar
menian was arrested who was trying to
explode bomb in the Ottoman Bank.
A later dispatch rays that the explosion
occurred in the apartment of the Grand
Vizier. Two rooms weres completely
wrecked, and Turkish messenger was
killed. Four others who were in the
rooms were wounded
When the news of the outrage be-
came generally known there was much
excitement. The authorities quickly
attempted to discover the author of the
outrage, but their efforts were ursuc-
cessful. Several persons have been ar
eested on suspicion.
The Armenian who attempted to
cause an explosion at the Ottoman
Bank is named Garabet. He would,
10 all likelihood, have succeeded in his
object had it not been for the vigilance
of one of the guards, who saw him as
he was about to throw parcel, which
was afterward found to contain bomb.
The guard sprang toward Garabet, and
Selling him, prevented him from throw
ing the missile.
Another unsuccessful attempt YVES
made during the afternoon to throw Il
bomb outside of the central police sta
ton in Pera, known as the Galata
Serea, the object apparently being to
destroy the guard. The man who made
the attempt saw that he was observed
and took to his heels. The guards
started in pursuit of him, whereupon
he drew a revolver and fired four inef-
fectual shots at them. He was finally
arrested, and upon being questioned
said that he was an Armenian.
These incidents caused a temporary
panic throughout the city, it being fear
ed that there was going to be renew
al of the recent disorders. The shop
keepers hurriedly closed their places of
business, barring and barricading them
to guard against assault.

M'kINLEY'S VIEWS.
The Prcsident-Elect Opposed to Cuban
 Recognition or Armed Intervention.

The Prcsident-Elect Opposed to Cuban
 Recognition or Armed Intervention.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The Journal this morning prints the following dis patch from Julius Chambers. its stati correspondent at Cleveland, O.:
 Intense curiosity exists to know the policy to be pursued regarding Cuba by the incoming ad- ministration. am able to state that policy on the highest authority and in the epigram in which it will be enunciated. There will not be any meddling with the Cuban insurrec- tion or any trifing with Spain. Every citizen of the United States will have tho absolute protection of this government, if war with Spain be precipitated. The first case of brutality to q citizen of the United States will be followed by immediate and unmistakablo action on the part of the administration.
 Mai. Mckinley is opposed to recognition of the republic of Cuba because he maintains it does not exist, and the only existing govern- mcnt in Cuba is Spain. The granting of bellig- erent rights to insurgents, he argues, wouldre- lieve Spain to large extent of the obligations to this government. No claims of American citizens would lie against Spain for the destruc- tion of their property on the island by the in- surgents. Maj. Mckinley is equally opposed to armed intervention, holding that conditions justifying such a step do not exist

1t Is Said President Cleveland Will Not Fill
 Any More Vacancies.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--No more pres- idential postmasters will be nominated by Mir. Cleveland. The administration has suspended business, so far as the distribution of patronage is concerned. It stops with about 50 vacancies, to which no appointments will be made. Then there are in addition 129 nomi- nations of postmasters hung up in the senate. The most of them are likely to remain thus suspended until March 4. On that day they will elapse. The day after he is inau- gurated Mir. Mckinley will havenearly 200 post offices of the presidential class to fill and before the end of March he will have 100 more vacancies. Appli- cations for these post offices arc ar- irving in numbers and are interesting their senators and representatives in their cases. Notwithstanding the wholesale extensions of the civil serv- ice law in certain directions, Presi- dent Mckinley will have considerable experience with the ofiice-seekers.

for Louisiana Drought Sufferers.
 ST. LOUIS, Feb. 27.-Mr. J. T. Cald- we'll, of Claiborne parish, La., is in the city trying to secure aid for the drought stricken people in his parish. "In Claiborne parish, which is my home" he said, "there are about 12, 600 inhabit- ants. They are nearly all farmers, there being no cities in the parish. Of these 12,000, a conservative estimate would place the number of destitute persons at about 4,OO0. They are both black and white and have come to this condition through no fault of their own. The poorer classes have now ab- solutely nothing to live on. The state of Louisiana gave S65, 1000 for the assist ance of the district, but this was most- ly expended in freight charges. The farmers were asked to pay 25 cents a bushel for the corn. One would think that almost anyone could raise Sl2.5O to get 50 bushels of corn, but therc were hundreds who could not. In this way the poor get none of the state donation"

 "Woman," he said, oracularly, "is either the most fickle or the most de- signing creature in the world. Her affections have none of that stability that is so prominent feature of man's."
 "Well, don't know about that" be- gan his companion, doubtfully.
 II do," interrupted the oracle, land l have had experience. proposed to girl last week and she refused me. Two days later proposed to another"
 "Stab..ity," suggested the compan- ion, but the oracle drowned.
 '"She refused me also," he continued.
 "I don't see any fickleness in that. You can't say that girl is fickle just because she shows some sense."
 The oracle winced, but he was deter mined to prove his case.
 Yesterday" he said, q saw those two girls out driving together, and to- day I received note from each of them, and each said that she had re- considered the matter and thought that perhaps she spoke rather hastily WHch she reiuSeu to Decome my WiIe. Then each asked me to call, and each set the same hour"
 "Well?"
 'Well, what am to do?"
 "You might ask them to draw lots"
 ''The very thingw exclaimed the oracle, joyfully. But, just the same, l stick to my original proposition, that they are two very designing girls, with no conception of the seriousness of genuine affairs of the heart, or else they're very fickle."-Chicago Post.

PEACE TREATY.
Senator Sherman Gives Up the Contest to
 Get It Ratified This Session.

Get It Ratified This Session.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Recognizing the futility of continuing the contest for the general arbitration treaty against determined minority, which is strengthened by the fact that very few days remain of the life of the Fifty-Fourth congress, Senator Sher- man and those who have sustained the treaty have given up the contest for this session, but will renew it during the extra session of the senate, which will be convened immediately upon the dissolution of the present congress next Thursday. MT. Sherman, who, by reason of the fact that he will be at the head of the state department after March 4. speaks with the authority of the incoming administration, strongly intimates that the new president will urge ratification, and expresses the be- lief that at the approaching extra ses- sion that result will be accomplished.
