Bicycle Trade at Malta.

United States Consul Group has made a
report to the State Department in regard
to the bicycle trade at Malta, In which he
says:
1.-The roads of Malta, as rule, are hard
and smooth, and, with the exception of the
period from May to Notwithstanding
which time most Of the people who ride
wheels are away-are well patrcnized. The
wheels are chiefly of English manufacture.
There are few American bicycles used,
but they have been specially ordered, and
their presence Is not due to any influence
Of our manufacturers. American wheels
are we'll regarded, the fact that wheel Is
from the United States being sufficient
guaranty of it's reliability By little en-
terprise it is possible tc gain good market
here for our wheels. At the beginning of
the season, October i, people are return
ing for the winter months. and from that
time on there Is quite brisk business done,
both in the way of new wheels and in sun
dries, the assortment of the latter being
somewhat limited. There seems to be no
disposition to discriminate in the way of
nationality of manufacture, and, while En-
glish wheels at present hold the market,
American wheels are not sold only because
the dealers here have not been brought in
to direct communication with our manu-
facturerS.''

Bicycle. in Colombia.

In a letter addressed to an export firm
of New York. Consul Shaw of Barranquilla
Colombia, says that bicycles are but little
used in that city, and there has been but
little increase in the trade of late. The
country, he says, is practically without
roads, the streets being sandy in dry
weather and soft in the rainy season.
Wheels come chiefly from the United
States, although products of other coun-
tries are seem The best way to Introduce
United States wheels, continues the consul.
is to open an agency with a good line of
low-priced bicycles. The duty on imported
wheels is 20 centavos (23 cents) per 2. 2O46
pounds. Colombian business men are ac-
customed to long credits-six, niiie and
twelve months. Horseback riding is the
favorite pastfme for young men. A horse
costs 200 pesos G60 and can be kept for
about 50 per month.

Record of the Clubs

The Senators could get but seven hits off
Callahan at Chicago yesterday, while the
Orphans secured five more off Dineen, de-
feating their visitors by a score of to g.
While seven of their opponents were left on
bases, only three of the Washington men
so languished. The seven hits made by the
Senators were divided between five men
Anderson, Wagner, Wrigley. Mcclure and
Gettman, the latter two obtaining two
each But one of the hits made by the
Senators was for more than one base, a
double by Anderson in the ninth inning.
The playing of the Washington men was
again If that hfeless and listless character
which mas marked their work during a
number of the games last played by them
and there was also a lack of the hit and
run policy. Dineen was not only hit hard
but was also rather unsteady, giving FIVE
passes, hitting man and striking out but
two. Callahan, on the other hand gave
but one pass, and struck out three men.
Six of the runs scored by the home team
were earned, the Senators earning but one
OF theirs.
Jud Smith, the expected new third be Sc

scoring was commenced in the third in

fly gave the batsman a three-bagger. Don

Ccnnor scored on Calahan's single to right
The latter stole second, scoring on Ryans
single to right. Everitt's single to left
placed Ryan on third, and he went home
when Dahlen was hit by a pitched ball,
Lange having previously walked.
The Orphans also scored three runs in the
fifth inning singles by Everitt and Thorn

ing responsible therefor. Donahue's single

run in, and the Chicago people scored one
more in the eighth on passes to Ryan and
Everitt and Lange's double to right center.
The Senators did not score until the
eighth inning, when Woods error gave
them two runs. Mcguire, after reaching
first on single. was forced by Gettman.
Wrigley singled to left, and Dineen,s fly to

CYCLE DEALERS COMPLAIN

The question that is now before the court
for settlement as to whether or not a BIZ
cycle dealer selling secondhand wheels can
be ciassed as junk dealer and made to
pay an annual license tax of $40 is one in
which number of people are interested.
A decision in the matter when finally OBJ
tanned, If adverse to the dealers. will have
a widespread effect, affecting many other
branches of business in the city where sec
ondhand material is taken in part payment
for now. AS the fight at present Is against
the cycle dealers, there is movement on
foot to fight the matter among themselves.
The case is now in the Police Court, and
if decided against the defendants, who hap
pen to be the Carpenter Cycle Company,
the Eclipse Bicycle Company, the Cleve-
land Cycle Company, W. D. Hadger and
John Woerner, jr., the matter will be oar
ried to the Court. of Appeals.
With these dealers and, in fact, with all
other cycle dealers the custom has been to
take old wheIs in exchange for new ones.
certain sum is allowed for the old BIZ
cycle, and the balance is paid In cash by
the purchaser. The dealer, to get his
money out of the trade, generally fixes the
old wheel up a little and offers it for sale.
The police department is of the opinion that
in taking the old wheels in exchange and
selling them the dealer comes under the
provisions OF the new law licensing junk
dealers, and the teStt tcaSefhas been made.
The arrest was madstabout ten days ago.
The case was continus<i-fef a hearing until
Wednesday, and on that date was contin-
ued again until this afternoon.
The bicycle dealers claim that there Is
discrimination madeo bW hae they do not
deny that they take tsScondhand wheels in
exchange, they do deny that they come uh-
der the provisions Of the law requiring
them to take out hoeilsG Under the in

will also be affected by the decision. It is
estimated that If the defendants are held
and all OF the other businesses similarly
run are made to pay a license tax the rev.
enues of the District will be increased about
10000 or more annually.
The case will. however, not be finally de-
cided without a strong fight A meeting
OF all bicycle dealers and others interested
In the matter will be called and some def
mite plan will be adopted and pursued look

Rhines or Killen are too good for the

The Senators open in Pittsburg Tuesday
for four games.
Joe Kelley was put out of yesterday 8
game at Philadelphia and Hughes, who
took his place, saved the game through a
sensational catch.
The Senators are not scheduled for to-
morrow or Monday, but the chances are
that they will play in Chicago the game
that was not played last Thursday on ac-
count of the team travelling.
The Philadelphia crowds were with the
Clevelands yesterday and their roofing had
considerable to do with the one victory
gained. The fact that the Indians are
without a home has caught the average fan
and all the sympathy is coming their way.
An Immense crowd will probably turn out
at the double-header today in Philadelphia
between the Cleveland and Baltimores
Both clubs are endeavoringp to show what
they are worth, and the contests will re-
pay going miles to see.
Ross Weber, the Texas Lacquer Joined
the senatorial outfit yesterday in Chicago,
but it is doubtful whether he will be pitted
against the smuggling Chicagos.
Charley Ebbetts of the Brooklyns is tour
ing the Western League looking for new
base ball talent, and J. Earl Wagner is
said to be on the same mission. The East
ern League is by far the more promising
field to look over.
DR.. Arlington Pond has been tipped off
as the only base ball player from the pro-
fessional ranks who has joined the army.
Charles Bastian, the old Philadelphia play
er, was really the first man to join out
while Coleman, who was with the st. Louis
as a pitcher last year, was also an early
recruit.
Ross Webers record in the Texas League
the past two years has been good one.
In '96 he batted 1858, and last season .313.
He also played as utility infielder. AS a
pitcher he ranked seventh in list of about
twenty. The Cincinnati players believe
there Is the making of a good player in
Weber. but surplus of men on the Cincin-
natl team kept him out of that organiza-
ton.
Algie Mcbride of the Cincinnati team
shared the same fate as McGraw of Balti-
more, in Thursdays game. Pitcher Ken
nedy threw in one of his swiftest inshoots
and it landed in the small of McBride's
back. The Cincinnati player continued in
the game, but Thursday night he was very
i'll and Steinfeldt took his place yesterday.
Mcbride has been playing exceptionally
good ball. but Steinfeldt will fill in very
well.
