The Associated Press dispatches
from Manila don't suit the esteemed
and lonesome Chicago Inter-O Ocean.
This is not strange, in view of the fact
that the Associated Press is non-parti-
san, serving papers of all shades of
political opinion with unbiased news,
while the Inter-Ocean is one of the
rankest administration organs extant,
and in addition is in chronic state of
unhappiness because it is outside the
Association. The kilograms from Ma
Mia suit five or six hundred papers
very well.

= NEW YORK. March l5.-The Herald to-
morrow VIM Say;
Makers OF bicycles have arranged the de-
tails for the formation Of a trade combina-
ton that will involve capital to the amount
OF $50. 0000e0. 1t is understood that ten Of
the leading makers of wheels have entered
the combination. and that several others
will probably be persuaded to add their
signatures to the agreement.
: A. G. SpaldinR is credited with being
the moving spirit in the proposed combine.
WITH him are associated A. A. Pope and
r. Philip Gormully. of the Gormully & JEFF
ferry Manufacturing Company. of Chicago.
!, Attempts to form a bicycle combine have
been made in the past. but all have been
futile. primarily because the small manu-
facturers could not be eliminated.
With the coming Of the dlhainless bicycle.
however, the situation was altered. While
the Transmission Of power by means Of
shaft and gearing is not a novelty, the
adaptation of 1t to the use of the bicyclist,
involving the construction Of the complicat-
ed machinery necessary to turn out the
gears. is said to have cost one company
five years of,labor and an expenditure Of
more than $4,000. A company was formed
in New Jersey and Lyons, to manufacture
bevel geared bicycles, but under Its pat
efts licenses were granted to some OF the
largest concerns in the trade. 1t Is upon
the foundation afforded by these licensed
companies that the new organization is to
be founded. All the companies licensed
have agreed not to cut prices. under penal.
ty Of forfeiture OF licer sc and the gayment
Of cash penalty said to be So OO0.
When this had been arranged, A: q.
Spalding set sail for Europe. At the time
1t was said he went for his health. In the
course Of Mr.. Spalding's search for health
abroad 1t Is said he obtained in France the
control Of the Acetacyne patents. which
are considered to be the foundation of the
beveled gear wheel. tho French having
used this form OF power transmission sew
eral years before 1t was tried elsewhere.
In England the Cross roll of geared patents
No change in the bicycle business for the
present year is contemplated. but next year
each manufacturers product will be mar
keted direct, the middlemen profits being
eliminated. That all this had been most
carefully planned Is shown by the recent
organisation of IS 100000 company by A.
l.. Carford, former president of the ma
tional cycle board of trade.
To this is to he added the steel tube COM
bination and the wood rim organization.
Aside from the bevel geared wheel. there
are two chainIess bicycles manufactured.
each of which is declared by its maker to
be the equal of those which Will be con-
trolled by the organization. Terms have
already been offered to the Independent
concerns. which will probably be accepted.
