A BLOW AT OUR BIKES.
German Manufacturers Make United
Effort to Exclude Them.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE length to
which European manufacturers are will
ling to go in their efforts to crush out
American competition is shown in the
following report to the state department
by Dean 3. Mason, vice consul at
Frankfort:
Failing to obtain from the imperial
government the prohibitory import du-
ty on American bicycles which they
have SO earnestly and so persiStently
demanded. the members of the German
Bicycle Manufacturers association have
decided upon the following simple but
ingenious plan to kill the American
cycle trade in this country From this
time forward they will unanimously re-
fuse all credit to any dealer, who han
dies as part of his stock in trade a BIZ
cycle of American origin.
THE association includes in its men,
bership nearly one hundred of the most
important bicycle makers in Germany
who have been accustomed hitherto to
give retail dealers from two to four
months credit and very liberal terms in
respect to parts and repairs.
''Since the majority of independent
bicycle dealers in Germany are in close
business relations with and under per-
sonal obligations to one or more manu-
facturers the effect of the heroic policy
will be to seriously injure the sale of
American bicycles unless eXporting G
manufacturers in the United States
take an aggressive attitude and make
the competition so hot that the German
makers will be compelled to make peace
by resembling the present decree"

HE DOESN'T LIKEIT.
Governor Stanley Does Not Approve
of the Populists Recognizing
the Militia

Stanley intended to stop the reorgani-
cation of the Kansas National Guards
by the PopuliStS as soon as he was in
auglIrated, but if he intends TO take any
such action the office seekers have not
given him time to do so as yet.
4 don't know what I shall do with
regard to this militia business" the
governor said in answer to a question
from a reporter. L understand that
the POpulists have been recognizing
the National Guards very quietly and
without making any stir about it, in
order to cut me out of having anything
to say about the reorganization, but
have not yet had time to look into the
matter. 1 have not even had time to
read the newspapers during the past
few days. I will say that I don't like
this idea of the Populists trying to cut
me out of having anything to do with
this reorganization business, if that is
what they have been doing.

BROWN REPLIES LEEDY.
Representative From Cowley County
Threatens to Produce Evidence

Arkansas City, Jan. 11.-Referring to
the late unpleasantness in the house.
Mr.. Brown asked a reporter today what
he thought of .'Leedy's roast"
The reporter blushingly replied:
There can be no method of miscon-
STRUNG the language"
THAT is true" replied Brown. but it
was cowardly in Leedy to withhold his
communication to the house until he
knew I had left for home; besides, he
knew that no direct charge was made
against him personally What said
was that the hold-up referred to in my
talk in the house originated in the ex-
ecutive office. and L say so yet
Mr.. Tuckett, client of mine, was in
dicted in Texas on a trumpet up charge
and he applied to an attache of the gov
ernor'S office to prevent a requisitlon
from the governor of Texas being hon
ored by Governor Leedy- Mr. Tuckett
was thereupon advised to employ the
firm of Martin, Little & Boyle. and he
had no doubt his wishes would be COM
piled with"
This is all Mr.. Brown cared to say
on the subject at present, as further
developments are expected SOON
Mr.. Brown added: 4 have just writ
ten a letter to Gov. Leedy in reply to
his communication to the house. Here
BROWN TO LEEDY.
" Arkansas City, Kan, Jan. 9, 1S99--
J. w. Leedy, Topeka, Kan: Sir-I can
not permit the scurrilOus epithets in
your message to the house of represen-
tatives, under date of January Z, 1899.
to remain unanswered 1t was a most
unfair and dishonorable act on your
part to transmit this message to the
house in my absence, for it's action. at a
time when I could not be present OF
course, the use of such terms as back
bitter, blackguard, liar and sneak be-
long only to one in the exalted position
OF governor of a state. But permit me
to assure you that 1 have very salts
factory proof of the charges
concerning your department, and
1 have learned of additional evidence.
and in due tins it will afford me great
pleasure to furnish these facts to the
public. Yours truly,

MAR LIBRARY LAMPS.
Thieves Tear Bronze Plates From the
Posts Outside the Chicago Building.

Chicago, Jan 11.-Thieves visited the
public library building Sunday night
They did not attempt to enter the build
ing, but carried away three valuable
bronze plates ornamenting the fancy
lamp posts on the Garland place side
of the structure. They used hammers
and chisels and practically ruined the
appearance of the post
The missing pieces of bronze are four
inches square and two inches thick
They were of special design and it will
be difficult to duplicate them. As soon
as Librarian Hid learned of the theft
he had drawings made of the two plates
and then reported the matter to Captain
Colls~-an at central station. A dozen
detectives are now searching the pawn
shops and junk dealers, esta blishments.

COALITION FORMING

London Jan. 1.-THE Paris cores
pondent of the Times says:
The Paris papers assert that the long
visit of the Marquis de Noailles, French
ambassador at Berlin, to Emperor
William on Sunday, had to do with the
grouping of the powers directed against
English imperialism and in favor of
peace, the ambassador urging that Great
Britain's publication of a series of blue
books regarding future negotiations
amounts to an ultimatum in disguise,
rousing the opinion of the country and
rendering concessions impossible.

interview between Emperor William
and the French ambassador had to do
against England They say that the
