The popularity of cycling in the Unit
ed States may be judged from this esti-
mate of the number of riders now in
the United States. At the lowest COM
putation they are put down at 100000,
while in the manufacture of bicycles and
accessories some 10000 persons are en-
ployed. In France the vogue of the
the departments of Gironde and Marine.
American and English machines are
mostly used in France, and there are
at the present time comparatively few
cycle factories in that country.

THE COMPTROLLER STANDS PAT
REFUSES TO REVISE HIS DECISION
on PAYMENT OF MARsHALs.
TT The Appointments Were illegal
They Must BE Corrected by the
Appointive Power

Washington, July 9.-The civil service
commission has made public its letter to
tho secretary OF the treasury on June %
last asking that the comptroller OF the
treasury be required to review his recent
decision in the matter of the alleged IL
legal appointment of deputy United States
marshas.
| In the course Of his decision the comp
| troller said: II will not go back of the
certificate OF appointment by the head of
the department or appointing power. where
no direct law has been violated, and at
tempt TO ascertain whether such Office, In
making such appointment, has disregarded
some rule or regulation OF the civil SER
vice commission or some rule or regula-
ton of his own regarding the classified
service"
The comptroller makes clear distinc-
ton between the violation OF law by the
president and the violation of rules and
regulations made by him. AMI says Il
prefer to let the responsibility rest where
it righttully belongs and follow the prece-
dent of years in my office, TO recognize the
certificates Of appointment of d head of
the department or other appointing power
to office or place where such appointment
is not in violation OF law or without au-
thCrliy OF law,
"YCu are authorized to pay such deputy
II his account in all other respects is cor
rect. The commissioners in their letter
contend that the appointments under con-
sideration were made in violation of the
express terms of the law and quote nu-
merous authorities to show that the rules
and regulations have all the force and ef-
feet Of law and that exceptions to these
rules and regulations can be legally made
only in the manner provided by the law"
The letter concludes as follows
Thus, from another point OF view also
we must arrive at the same conclusion as
indicated in the early part Of this decision
namely, % that the comptroller does not
intend to hold that so long as a position
once in the classified service is not ex
cepted from the requirements incident
thereto and appointment can be made to
such position without compliance with the
provisions of the civil service law and
rules requiring such appointments TO be
made through examination and certifca
ton by the commission, and ~ that cor
rectly the only question left at issue is
how. if at all, position once in the classi-
fed service can be legally excepted or
from the requirements of law
incident to this classification.
1t has already been pointed out, In the
first part of this communication, % that
the law prescribes a certain manner in
which only the position can be thus with.
drawn or excepted (2) that in the case
before the comptroller the position was not
withdrawn or excepted in the manner pre-
icrbed. and 80 consequently the conclu-
sion can not be escaped that The appoint
nent to a position in manner contrary
o that prescribed was illegal and void, and
hence the person appointed was not entltl-
ID to any compensation or emolument ac-
,ruing to the Office

HAVANA MILITARY FUNCTION.
GENERAL LUDLOW CELEBRATED
INDEPENDENCE DAY.
The Number of Cuhnns applying for

Havana. July 9.--The reception and bal
given last evening by General Ludlow
the military commander outshone every
other social function in Havana in recent
wears. Innumerabe red, white and blue
/ electric lights, thousands of roses, nun
dreds of flags and no end of sabers, oayo-
nets and rifles artistically grouped made
the scene within the palace memorable
/ More than a thousand guests attended.
Music was furnished by two military
bands. All the foreign consuls were in
evidence, most of them wearing gilt
terlng orders and many of the women
wore handsome Jewels. General Ludlow
gave the function in honor OF independ-
ence day and the representative Cubans
and Spaniards of Havana were present.
American officials here are surprised
at the large number OF Cubans now az
plying in the province of Santiago for a
share in the American gratuity The
American officers have assured them tnat
there were not a hundred Tuen In the pro-
vince who would accept money from the
United States basing their assurance on
kilograms which purported to come from
Santiago. Even when 1t became known
that these dispatches We're inspired by
Cuban malcontents here, and concocted
in the Inglaterra cafe, 1t was still felt
that these opponents of rational solution
of the Cuban army question might be able
to prevent a large number from applying
to the American paymaster.
Those who knew the facts of the case
believed that the Santiago insurgents
were much underestimate on the pay
rolls. especially as the Cuban generals had
always claimed that more than GO per cent
of the army was in Santiago province. 1t
turns out that the jealousy that existed
in war times between the eastern and
western troops still exists and that those
in Santiago province are more likely to
reject than to accept the advice from Ha

Detroit, July "a Tribune special from

malitiamen ordered in from the adjacent
towns as a result OF yesterdays street
car riots. Late last night the police be-
came unable to cope with the rioters and
the military was called out 10 clear the
streets.
The trouble commenced in the afternoon
when crowds drove the non union crews
off several street cars from their posts
and stoned the cars. One car was fired
after the crew had left il and almost de-
stroyed. The police dispersed the after
neon rioters without aid. The company
left six cars on Dundas street in the af-
ternoon and did not move them to the
barns until night When the attempt was
made the rioting broke out afresh The
cars were stoned and the mob became so
boisterous that the riot act had TO be

the outgrowth of the well known fact that
these councils are held about every twenty
years aud two years hence will mark the
twenty-year period from the time of the pie

assembling OF such a council is an event Of
unusual importance to the church. as It brings
together the entire hierarchy Of archblshops
