Large Bicycle Gears.

An impression seems 20 have gained
ground among some riders that large gears
require less rropolling force For example,
Il has been claimed that with 20 gear, by
using 25 and 10 tooth sprockcts, about 25
per cent less power Is required than with
the same gcar produced by 20 and tooth
sprockets This is absurd, rs with given
gear no power can be created by any
change In sprockcts. The only points
worthy Of consideration In the question Of
largo sprockets ore the slight reduction u
tension on the chain and the consequent
reduction Of Election on the bearings.

In the money market may be attributed as

Hard times, duh times labor unemployed,

There are certainly arguments sufficient in

good roads to every class Of people, and cy-
cists are keeping up an agitation of the
subject which seems TO be irresistible.

ton for transporting the league members
from the west To the national meet at
Philadelphia during the first week In Au
gust Mr.. Ayers informed the company
that it's eastern division was one of the
bitterest foes of the league, compelling
wheelmen 10 pay for the transportation Of
their wheels and opposing the passage of
the wbeelmen's baggage bin in New Jer
sey, and that only under one condition
would he consider the request--namely,
that the company instruct the employees
of the eastern division to carry bicycles
free of charge as baggage, not only in New

Appropriation Bills Soon
TO Be Disposed OF.
Senators Davis and Morgan
Will Exploit Hobbies.
The War In the East May Require
Attention Before Long.

Washington, April 19.-The senate VIII
conclude its consideration OF the ap-
propriation bills this week. The Indian
bill Is expected 10 pass today and the
sundry civil and agricultural bills viii
follow in the order named. There Is no
expectation that there will be any pro-
longed debate upon any OF the bills.
There will BE- an effort to amend the
sundry civil bill by the addition of a pro-
vision for the regulation OF the forest
reservations. This may lead TO some dis
cussion. but the friends of the amend
ment do not anticipate much trouble in
having the amendment agreed TO.
Senator Davis will make another at
tempt today in executive session 10 get
a day fixed for taking vote on the ar
bitration treaty. He has announced his
purpose to press the treaty TO final ac-
tion at as early date as possible. lie
expects TO have little difficulty in secur-
ing an agreement for a date, but some
of the objecting senators intimate that
there Still may be opposition. The mat
ter OF pairs has been definitely arranged
OH the basis OF two votes for the treaty
20 one against Ii. 1t is not believed that
a great deal of time will be given TO the
treaty during the week, whatever the de-
gree of Mr.. Davis success in securing an
agreement for a date for vote.
The bankruptcy bill will continue 10
hold its place on the calendar as the un-
finished business. but ii robably will not
be seriously pressed. Senator Morgan
has announced his intention to insist
daily upon the consideration OF his Gu
han resolution during the morning hour
but he will not block other business with
It,
Much OF the senate's time will be given
20 the question Of the organization Of the
senate committees.
If the program proposed is accepted
both the Republicans and the opposition
will proceed 10 make selections for the
committee vacancies, and this work will
require very delicate adjustment I'm or
der to satisfy conflicting claims. If the
plan is not agreed TO by the Republicans
the coalition of Democrats. Populists
and silver Republicans will tomorrow
move TO fill some Of the committee va
cancies with the view OF continuing the
process Until all are filled. At least such
IS the present program.
The house this week will continue the
program of three-day adjournments un-
less the Indian appropriation bill is re-
turned from the senate when II meets on
Wednesday. The complications arising
out OF the situation in Eastern Europe
possibly may figure In the proceedings
Of both houses the latter part of the
week.

Many wonder why the old time English
pugilists lasted longer than their success
sors of today. This is explained by the fact
that the London ring fighters lived regular
and more exemplary lives than the high
flying boxer OF tho present day. They
mingled with themselves, and were not
subject to the temptations that are held
out 20 the up to date boxers by that class
of 50 called sportsmen who believe 1t the
proper caper 20 be seen in the company Of

Troub!ss Of baseball Players.
Cincinnati. April 19.-That there 10 to
be some siud Of an organization next
season for the protection of baseball
players there Is no longer any doubt.
The great majority OF players I'm the Ma
tional and Western leagues are dissatis-
fed. They believe that they are being
made slaves OF by the magnates, but
they realize that under the present state
OF affairs they are helpless. The chang
ing OF the contract dates has been the
bone OF contention this season. The
players claim that the change In the
contracts which does not begin pay un-
I'll April IT, and holds them under con-
tract until oct. 10. Is n cruel injustice. A
number OF reasons for this claim are ad-
vanced. II is held that while the play
ers are expected TO report just as early
I'm the spring for practice they are not re-
imbursed until one week before the
season starts. Then In the fall OF the
year. after the season is closed, the rev.
enue OF the exhibition games which for
merly went 60 the players now goes to
the club. Being shifted from one club
20 another without being consulted is
not to the players liking, and ir is
claimed that the salaries are being re-
duced yearly.
