NAL FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.

Washington, May 3d. While it is not
true thar the Turkish government has
formally protested against the apr ONT
ment OF DIR. Angel as minister to Tur-
key, it is true that the porte has asked
the State Department for some explana-
tion of the published statements of his
alleged utterances in regard 90 the Turk
ish government and it's treatment of for
eign missionaries.
The State Department immediately
took up the matter by correspondence,
which 1t is thought will explain the mat
ter in time for Dr. Augell to sail for his
post.
1t Is the general opinion here that the
Senate will order another sugar trust in.
vestigation. A new committee, however,
will be named to succeed the old one.
The action of the District court this
week In clearing Havemeyer will make
the committee somewhat more careful in
framing its questions. A decision of the
supreme court holds that the la is con-
stitutional making it a misdemeanor to
refuse to answer questions, if such infor.
nation Will have good effect.
Among the first witnesses to be called
will be the newspaper correspcn dents,
and 1T is well known that they will refuse
to answer any questions.
1t is emphatically denied at the White
House to day that the President has been
considering the name of eX-President Har.
rison for minister to Spain or that the
place had been rendered to Gen. b. T..
Tracy or anyone else.

about very rare cent called the Fugic

posed to be the earliest coin issued by au.

Mr., c. H. Bates, grocer of 2213 East

which corresponds exactly with that OF
the New York man, except that the date

PLAYING GAMES AWHEEL
In England They Get More Sport Out
of Their Bicycles

ut seems strange that our wheelmen
do not make more use of their bicycles
in the ordinary field games and old
fashioned sports" says a cycling tourist
who has just arrived after an extensive
trip awheel through England. 1.-THE
average Britisher enjoys his wheel just
as he does his horse and his pipe But
the average Yankee rides his wheel, az
he eats and works, always in hurry
and in pell-mell fashion that leaves
him all used up. Now, in England
found it very different. The English
men and women get great deaf more
fun out of the bicycle than we 30, and
more benefit, too. OF Saturday after
noon l have seen a dozen women on
their wheels playing fox and geese on
the lawn of d big country place, and it
is as pretty a bicycle picture as you
could wish to see. The homely old-fash-
ioned game is played under quite the
same rules as on foot, only of course
the circle is laid out on a larger scale.
The bigger the circle the morethe sport
but it can be played in spaVe smaller
than city square, and lots Of amuse-
ment and exercise can be got from it.
Duck on a rock is another inter-
esting game of our childhood that has
become rafting good game when
played on bike 1t is bit rough and
dangerous for women, but men can and
