There are in this coun try, states the
Newcastle (England) Chronicle, $780,
600 families dependent on the bicycle
trade; and the trade is sure toincrease,
as people will come to look upon
bicycle as they now do Il suit of
clothes, not as if it were an obelisk
designed to last forever. When this
time comes, says a writer i'll a contem-
porary, a man will buy new bicycle
every two or three years and be hap
py. This year persons in the British
Empire will spend about $l17, 200, 900
on bicycles, and if the steel required
to make these hundreds of thousands
of wheels were converted into war YES
sells, the result would be fleet of
ships sufficient in numbers and power
to make any Of the smaller Continen-
tai Powers feel distinctly uncomfort-
able. One cannot eat bicycles. But
bread is the staple food of many peo-
pie, and this year we shall spend more
money for bicycles than for bread, and
nearly as much as we shall spend for
meat

A LONE HAND.
Japan Not in the Thing We
are Going to Play"
Uncle sam Awaiting Decision of
Hawaiian Arbiter,

WASHINGTON, ID, C., Aug. 10 Secretary
Of State John sherman has announced that
the United States cannot guarantee TO Japan
the execution of the decision Of the
arbitrator who is expected 10 pass on
the merits Of the immigration controversy
existing between tho Toxic and Honolulu
governments This announcement will be-
received with disappointment in Japu-
nese official circles. for il is the de-
sire OF the imperial government that
the United States assume Hawaii's liza
bility in case tho arbiter should render a
decision in favor OF Japan. "If the treaty
Of annexation is ratified before the arbitra-
tion is concluded" the secretary said, then
tho arbitration falls The secretary believes
that the course this government will pursue
with respect to the immigration controver-
sy Is as fair to Japan as to Hawaii. For
instance, II the arbiter should decide
against Japaus claim and in favor Of
the Hawaiian government, this govern
ment would take no steps to force the exc
Cition of the award. The secretary indicated
by the statements he made that in case an-
neNation was accomplished before the arbi-
tration was concluded. the administration
would probably refer the matter to Congress
for its action Mr.. sherman doubts that the
American flag has been raised over Hawaiian
territory. II this action was taken, he says,
it was done because the Japanese had
committed an overt act. The inStruc-
tons to Minister Sewall aud Rear Admiral
Beartisley only contemplated their adoption
OF such a course in the event Of an attempt
on the part of Japan to seize the islands or
any part of the Hawaiian property on the
islands. The secretary indicated that he
had no idea Of trouble between the United
States and Japan, but he declared that it
was the intention of the administration to
pursue its policy with respect to the annex
alton of Hawaii. no matter what the
other nation thought or did. SO far
as the secretary has been informed.
there have been no recent develop
ments in the Hawaian-lapanese mat
ter but he is desirous of obtaining informa-
tion regarding the character of Japans ar-
hitYation proposition and Is eagerly await
ng the arrival Of the mail steamer from
Honolulu which will bring the news. The
vessel bearing Iapau's reply to Hawaii's ar
bitration proposition left Yokohama July ~.
so the secretary does not expect To- h" in
formed of the details of the answer before
several weeks have passed.

Statistics of the foreign trade of
Germany have just been publish ed
showing that its exports and imports
have both increased year by year, the
latter having more than doubled in
decade, while the former have gone
ahead steadily, though in less degree.
Caprivi's commercial treaties with
Russia and Austria have worked well
and, Notwithstanding much initial OPP
position, their good results are now
apparent to everybody. Since they
went into effect three years ago the
imports have increased 272, 500, 900
marks, and the exports 7O2, 800, 900
marks. The Agrarians fought the
treaties at every step, but in the face
of their prosperous effects they are
now mute.
