BICYCLE PANIC ON 'cHANGE.
Shares in . Biz Cyclic Company DO BeggtnG-
American Competition Felt.
Special Cable Despatoh to THE Sun.


Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON. July 9.-There was q small panic at
the Birmingham Stock Exchange to-day, the re-
suit of a general fall in the price of bicycle
shares. which WAS caused by the action OF the
Rudge- Whitworth Cycle Company in making q
very material reduction in the prices OF It's
wheels. Shares were offered freely, but there
were no buyers.
Startling rumors were In circulation regarding
the stability Of the company. which was foated
afew months ago with n capital of $1,000 900.
but these were denied. The depression was in
creased by reports that the bicycle factories at
Birmingham, Coventry, and Wolverhampton
were discharging hands and working on short
time.
Nevertheless. the largest firms declare that
they arc not affected, and deny the existence of
a slump. They say that tho Rudge-Whitworth
Company is not a representative concern. They
profess not to fear American competition.
The Daily Mail contends that the American
competition Is becoming a pressing fact, real
lied in the Midlands as elsewhere. 1t attacks the
Birmingham and Coventry manufacturers for
adhcring conservatively to laborious hand meth
dds, thus allowing the Americans to capture
the bulk OF the export trade with their smart,
machinc-nade goods. 1t recalls the fact that
through a similar contempt OF go-ahead methods,
and warns the manufacturers that they should
learn a lesson therefrom, adding that II they do
not they will be compelled to find O new use for
their factories and warehouses.

A CLIO STRIKE.

Against the salmon Gamers.

Indians, gaps, aud white Men Combined
Against tho salmon Gamers.
VANCOUVER, b. c., July 9.-Fifty Gamers OF
Frazer River, representing millions OF dollars,
will have considerable trouble this year with
their 1000 fishermen regarding the amount 10
be paid for fish. In consequence of tho low
price now ruling for salmon in the London mar
kct, a number Of the Gamers have reduced tho
price Of fish for the present to 8 cents each.
Tho price paid last year was % cents, and fish
ernon regarded that figure as too low. Strange
to say, tho Indians were first to show discon-
tent, and they now threaten to return home
unless they get IS cent? a fish as previously.
The other fishermen, both white and Japanese,
stand by the red men, and yesterday 1t was de-
cided to hold q mass meeting Of the fishermen
at Steveston and thoroughly discuss the qucs-
ton.
The meeting was held last night with 800
fishermen present, 800 being white men and
700 Japanese and Indians. Ii was decided
eventually to demand Is cents a fish for the en-
tire season. Four white men addressed the
meeting, besides several Japanese and Indians.
A committee was appointed to interview the
Gamers and request them to sign an agreement
TO pay the price mentioned. II the Gamers
should refuse to do this, all who We're at the
meeting will strike tomorrow. Several can
ners were asked last night what price would be
paid for fish this season. They all stated that
not more than 10 cents a fish would be paid at
any time during the present season.
In 1893 salmon was quoted in London at six
ehilings a case higher, and yet the price paid
per fish during that year was only 7 cents. In
view Of those circumstances the demand made
by tho fishermen for Is cents a fish throughout
tho season Is regarded as absurd. The fisher
mon have chosen a good time to strike. as sal
the big strike and get fish from across the
American border.

Party Hacks to BE Retired ana an Elective
System TO He Introduced.

OTTAWA, July 9.-An amendment Of the Con.
stitution of Canada in respect of the Senate b
now under consideration. Tho policy of tho
Liberal Government is to create a Senate whose
members shall be elective, as in tho United
States. The Canadian Senate, as at present con-
stituted, is an entirely irresponsible body since
1t rests not upon popular election. nor upon So
lection by provincial legislators, nor upon hered-
itary rank, but is constituted by the appointments
OF the Government of the day. The members of 10
are principally old party time-scrvers, and are,
at present, nearly all Tories. II is said that the
reconstruction of the Senate will be accom-
plishcd by means of a joint address Of all the
provincial legislatures demanding such an
amendment OF the Constitution as will result in
the Senate being appointed by those bodies, or
elected directly by the people.
Meantime. in order TO obtain a fair representa-
ton OF The Liberal party in the Senate. n plan
Is being discussed to attack the qualification Of
The senators. 1t is said that u score or more Of
the Tory Senators are without the legal prop
erty qualification of 81. 600. Hitherto 1t has
been the custom to accept proof OF this quali6.
