BlCYCLlSTS OF CHICAGO
 WIN THEIR CASE.
The Supreme Court of Illinois Decides the City of Chicago Cannot Tax
 Wheels Used Upon the Streets.

Chicago, Oct. 26.-Bicyclists are in- .terested in the decision of the court in the appeal of the city of Chicago against Orrin c. Collins and 375 other aDpelIees, in which it finds the wheel tax fund" ordinance in Chicago to be invalid. The appellees in the circuit court of Cook county to enjoin from enforcing ordi- nances which provide that all vehicles used upon the streets of the city, in- cluding those for private use or pleasure, should pay an annual license fee. The money collected from this source was to constitute a special fund for street inn provements to be known as the "Wheel tax fund D
 The lower court found in favor of the wheelmen and issued the writ prayed for and the supreme court affirms this finding in the following language:
 s'In this case there is no express power given the city council to impose this license fee and no implied power arises which gives the right. It has no im- piled power to levy a tax in this manner. In no view of the case has the city pow er to adopt the ordinunce''

Crowds Gather at the Chamber of Deputies and Great Disorder
 Was the Result.
PAURE IS SAID TO
 BE RESPONSIBLE.
It Is Said That His Attitude In the Dreyfus Case Caused the Trouble. Ne New Cabinet Has Yet
 Been Formed.

Paris, Oct. 26.-The days of Boulang- erism are returning without a Floquet to draw a sword against a factious gen eral and without Constant to make him cross the frontier.
 The cabinet has been overturned on mere pretext because bands of people, collected by those defying authority, while pretending to defend 1t, have fo- mented agitation and almost terror.
 It is said that President Faure is re- sponsible for the demonstrations at the chamber of deputies which led to the resignation of the cabinet. The presi- dent is against Dreyfus and has always opposed his getting another trial What the future will bring to France and Dreyfus is hard to predict
 In the Rue Royale the rioters tried to overturn carriage containing three Americans amid cries of "Down with the Jews.
 Demonstrations began just before the time for the chamber of deputies to meet, and were kept up. Officers made a number of attempts to quel the dis turbanoe, but only succeeded for the time being. Constant disturbances were kept up throughout the day.
 The climax came when the resigna- ton of General Chanoine, minister of war was presented by himself
 It was impossible to keep order. M. Brisson attempted to explain the situa- tion, but was hooted down and cries of ''resign, 7" hurled at him from all oyer the building. Finally the entire oabi- net, headed by M. Brisson, rendered it's resignation to President Paure.
 The French cabinet which has just rec signed was definitely formed on June 28 of the present year and was constituted as follows:
 President of the council and minister of the interior-M. Henri Brisson.
 Minister of finance--Paul Peytra.
 Minister of education -L Leon Bour- geois.
 Minister of justice-Ferdinan Sarien.
 Minister of war-Geoffrey Cavaignac, who has since been succeeded by Gen. Zurlinden and General Ohanoine.
 Minister of marine -Edouard Simon Lockroy.
 Minister of foreign Theophile Deleasse.
 Minister of the colonies - Georges Trouillet
 Minister of commerce Emile Marwe- jeu.
 Minister of agrieulture-Albert Yiger, who has since resigned.
 Minister of public works-Senator Til lave, who was succeeded by Senator Go- din on Sept. IT.
 The chamber adjourned to Nov. 1.
 It is the general impression among the deputies that President FauIe will in- vite Alexander Ribot to form cabinet.
 When accepting the resignation of the ministry M. Faure begged M. Brisson and his colleagues to continue to act un- til the formation of the new cabinet. Evidently the taste for street demon- strations Is reviving and perhaps on Thursday, when the court of cessation will meet, there will be a revival of the uprCar.
 It looks as though M. Brisson gave up in disgust position which yielded him neither pleasure nor greatness. Nobody has any idea who will succeed him, un- less perhaps N. Faure knows, for he is alleged to have instigated the overthrow of the cabinet.

FINE NATURAL HARBOR,

Guanica an Easy Place to Land Troops,
Though Not Near San Juan.
WASHINGTON, July 81. - Guanica,
the point Of debarkation of the
Porto Rican expeditionary force, is
a small town Of 1000 inhabitants on
the southern coast of the island. On a
rough calculation it is less than ~
miles on an air line from Ponce. and
Is miles from San Juan, against which
the assault is to be directed. Guanica
is about six miles south Of Yuacoa, of
which city it forms the port, and with
which it is connected by a good
road. The town is situated on a bay
of the same name, which forms one of
the best ports III the whole island.
The banks to the right are steep, and
form a good natural wharf. Three
vessels can lie alongside and unload by
a of gang planks. Vessels of 30
feet draught can enter the bay easily.
and proceed c.ose inshore. The con.
spicuous advantage Of this port. aside
from it's excellent harbor facilities for
the transports, is the utter absence of
Notifications or mines.

requested the builder OF the Oregon to
come to ST. Petersburg aud make he
plans and estimates. The whole project
was abandoned the day the contractor

provisions for four new battlesblpe he re-
marked that it had been the policy OF
Great Britain to keep her navy equal to

that as Russia had ordered the building
OF SIX new vessels the British navy
should have four more ships and adozen
torpedo boats. The announcement was
received with cheers and the bill
passed with a "whoop." When Russia
