AMERICAN hikes THE BEST.
Foreign Wheels Not In II with TIL en-
In Popularity In Germany.


Washington, June I.-Charles de Kay,
United States consul general at Berlin,
in a report to the state department, calls
attention to the fact that the German
bicycle makers are deeply concerned al
the now very large and growing competi-
ton Of American machines. The league
of industrials at Bochum, an important
manufacturing center, has taken up the
matter, and In memorial TO the German
government. 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 Oh
about $l4.2S, while the German duty be-
ing only %.n on 100 Kilograms, only from
II to % cents duty falls on the American
wheels. On these and other grounds the
aid Of the German government is asked
on behalf of the home Industry. The con-
sui general IN his report, says It is not
because the American wheels are OF for
eign make that they sell 80 rapidly In Ger
many, but because they are the strongest,
soundest. llghtest and most elegant In
shape. They have quite taken the field.
he says, from Belgian Austrian and Brit
ish wheels. He also expresses the opinion
that large concessions could be made
with safety to the Germans In the way OF
lower duties. because the German public
rs now SO well convinced of the superiority
OF the American wheels that we will con-
tinue to hold the market 80 long as this
high standard is maintained.
Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz, Saxony.
In report TO the state department, also
calls attention TO the effort that is being
made by German bicycIe makers In thar
province to secure higher duties on Amer
lean wheels. To this end the Bund OF
German industrials have petitioned the
foreign Office on the subject asking for
immediate relief from the threatened dan

VINO passed near 1t. The police think II
was carried In a wagon to the spot where
II was found. 1t would have been an easy
matter to throw the bundle from a wa
gon into the shrubbery without attract
ing observation. The police are also salts
ned that the body was not In the shrub
oery Saturday afternoon, as there were a
large number of boys in the vicinity on
saturday and they could not have failed
to notice it.
1t is thought by the police that 1t was
lett there some time Saturday night. The
manila paper that was next to the body
was damp. This inclines them to think
that the horrible object was soaked in
some kind of preserving fluid, probably
chloride of lime, to keep the odor from
attracting attention.
II was wrapped up well to preserve it
as much as possible. The fact that two
portions of the butchered trunk have been
found In such widely separated localities
puzzles the police in forming a theory as
TO where the dreadful work of murder
and butchery was committed,
If the murder was committed in the
neighborhood of High bridge and the up
per part Of the trunk thrown into the
Harlem river, it would have first fioated
into the East river on account of the con-
diCions of the tide 1t may have been
thrown into the sound, however, from
some point in the annexed district.
The police are wondering in what spot
the limbs Of the corpse will be found. They
think they will turn up some place before
long, but do not think it likely that the
head will ever be found. They think the
murderer has either buried 1t or burned
it in furnace in order to keep secret
the identity of his victim This would
hardly be done, however, unless the iden-
tity OF the murdered man would easily
lead to the identity of the murderer.
No surgical skill was employed in dis
membering the body. On the breast Of
the trunk a large piece of the flesh had
been hacked away. This may have been
done to prevent identification by means
of tattoo marks. The murder was possi-
bly, done on board a vessel, but IL this
was the case a portion of the body would
hardly have been placed on land and the
other in the water.

JAPAN's STAND ON ANNEXATION.
Claims II would Interfere with Her
Treaty Rights.

Claims IL would Interfere with Her
Treaty Rights.
washington, June H.-The japanese po-
sition on the annexation Of Hawaii by the
United states has been made known from
a very reliable source.
The japanese base their opposition TO
the annexation almost entirely upon the
ground that Il is an interference with the
treaty rights OF Japan. and complain es-
pecially that the treaty was nego.ated In
the face OF the most friendly protesta-
tlons from Japan and at a time when the
Japanose authorities had been led to be-
ileve that no such treaty would be un-
dertaken.
The following may be accepted as an abb
soiutely accurate outline OF the position
Of the japanese legation In Washington:
Tho Japanese insist as on all occasions
that the japanese government has not
now. and never has had. any designs
against Hawaii. This they consider a
most important point because OF tho talk
OF colonization, which they say has ap-
uarcntly had so much weight In the dis
cuasion Of the question. They contend
that the japanese drst went 20 Hawaii
IN response 10 the demand for labor IN

GALICIAN TOWN FLOODED.
A Bridge Gives Way and Drops q
Train Into a River.

Vienna, June 27.--The town of Kolomea,
in Galicia, has been flooded by the rising
of the river Pruth.
Many houses have been destroyed, and
the bridge at Kolomea and Turkea has
been swept away.
The collapse took place while train
was crossing, and 1t Is believed that many
persons have been drowned.
The government has ordered the soldiery
to assist the inhabitants in the effort to
save their property.
There were five railway carriages and
they fell in a great heap together. AS yet
there is no definite report as to the num-
ber of passengers. A terrible storm of
hail, thunder and lightning was raging at
the time and added to the horror of the
scene.
The river had risen 81 feet above its nor
NAL level
Seven officials, including the postal staff
in the mail van, have been drowned.
The distress at Kolomea is terrible.
Hundreds are homeless, their houses hav-
ing been carried away with the rush of
the waters.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT SEA.
A Bark Wrecked ana Ten of Her
Crew Dend From Fever.

Philadelphia, June T.--The details Of the
recent total loss of the -bsund
British sugar-laden bark Traveller, Capt.
Christie. at Port Mathurln, Rodriguez ISL
and, and the death from Java fever OF ten
members Of her crew, including Capt.
Christie, have just been received at this
port from Mauritius, and bring to light
one of the most thrilling and revolving
cases OF shipwreck and suffering IN the
annals of shipping.
Two of the sailors, driven to desperation
by witnessing the sufferings of their ship
mates, committed suicide by leaplng over
board, preferring death in this way rather
than the ravages Of fever, which they felt
was sure to overtake them. One by one
the men died, until the mate and second
mate were the only officers spared, and
the former finally succumbed to the dread
ed disease. Capt. Christie, the commander,
and seven men had died and their bodies
had been cast over the ships side.
For nearly two weeks she drifted to the
northWard and eastward of Rodriguez Is
land and ran into Port Mathurln. An ef-
fort was made to get medical aid from the
shore. But the wind rose and the follow
ne 'Ni'ti9S tiS NtSati was uflVen on tnc
onlying reefs and became total loss. She
afterward disappeared
The Traveller well-known Liverpool
bark, built of iron In Dumbarton, Scot
land, and laden with about $500 bags OF
sugar, valued at $60.0OO left Java for
Philadelphia Christmas week, and al
though she went to grief Feb. is at Rod
riguez, a remote island in the Indian
ocean. nothing was known OF II until last
month. Capt. Christie OF the unfortunate
vessel was well known here, having sail
ed out of Philadelphia a number OF times
on deep water voyages.
The Traveller was owned by j. II. Haws
Co. OF Liverpool, was i42O tons regis
ter, and built in 1879. The vessel was In
sured in England, but the cargo twas held
by American companies.
