DISRUPTION is THREATENED
Dissensions Have Arisen in the Gigantic
Bicycle Trust.


New York, May 27.-The Herald
says: More dissensions have arisen in
the bicycle trust and threaten to dis
rupt that giant combination. When
the hundred or more manufacturers of
BICYCLES and bicycle parts gave options
on their plants to A. g. Spalding to
June l, it was understood that such
plants as were accepted by him were
to be paid for in cash by that time.
Scores OF manufacturers came to this
city last week with the expectation of
closing their deals with the manager
for the trust. They were more or less
indignant when they were requested to
extend their options to August l. 1t
now develops that several of them IN ad q
determined protests against delay, and
at least one of the biggest makers in
the combination refused fatly to renew
his option.
More than this, the opposition to
the trust, that was led originally by R.
L. Coleman, was revived and now
threatens to develop more strength
than 1T at first possessed.

TROUBLE MAY BE RENEWED.
Samoan Commission Will Probably Up

Samoan commission VIII FroDduiy Up

Apia. Samoa. May 27.-The Samoan
comm ssion, consisting OF Bartlett
Trip, former United States minister
to Austria Hungary; Baron Speck Won
Steinberg, representing Germany, and
G. H. Eliot, G. B., of the British
embassy at Washington, representing
Great Britain, arrived here on May 13.
Their first sitting took place on May
16. The commissioners were engaged
all the morning in conference with
Chief Justice Chambers. Nothing is
disclosed regarding the deliberations,
but it is reported they will uphold the
action of Admiral Kautz, the American
naval commander. Mataafa sent the
commissioners a letter of welcome, and
expressed the hope that they would
satisfactorily end the troubles in
Samoa.
1t is understood Mataafa will obey
the unanimous order of the commits
sion, though it is doubtful whether he
will order his followers to disarm, un-
The Mataafans will probably disperse
to their homes if ordered to do so,
but they will never recognize Malietoa
as king, and doubtless there will be
further trouble in the future, if the
kingship is maintained. Only one or
two cases are known of the wounding
of natives by the shell fire of the war;

the strength of the Europeans. they

arises again.
The rebels remain outside the lines
indicated by the admiral, and have
strongly fortified a new position,
while the loyalists are being drilled
and have fortified Milnnuu. A con-
siderable number of loyalists have been
brought in by the warships from other
islands. Half the male adults of
Samoa are awaiting action on the part
of the commission in order to support
MaliHtoa. The Germans are preparing
compensation claims. A correspondent
reports Mataafa as saying it was the
head chiefs and not himself who be-
gan the war. Mataafa claimed he has
upheld the treaty and said his orders
throughout were not to fire upon Eu-
ropeans, and but for this order the

THE FEUD RENEWED.
Gomez and the Assembly Leaders Again
at Outs.

at Outs.
Havana, May 27.-The feud between
General Gomez and the old Cuban
assembly has been renewed. General
Gomez manifesto, issued to the sol.
diers today, advising them to give up
their arms and return peacefully to
their homes, will be met tomorrow by
strong manifesto from majority of
the Cuban chiefs urging the soldiers
not to accept any part of the So, 600, 0GO
offered by the United States, but to
dsband and keep their arms.
A meeting was held this afternoon
at the home of General Maya Rodri-
guez and attended by the anti-Gomez
officers in the Cuban army. Strong
anti-AmeTiCan sentiments were ex-
pressed. Gomez was called a "traitor
to Cuba libre" and severely scored for
entering into the last negotiations with
General Brooke without consulting the
representatives. of the army. His
actions were construed by the speakers
as an effort to further his own political
aggrandizement. 1t was voted unani.
mously to use all means to prevent the
soldiers from surrendering their arms.
In addition to the manifesto, General
Rodriguez will send personal letter
to the soldiers asking them not to ac.
cept United States money.

The Filipino commissioners left by

said:
"We greatly appreciate the courtesy
shown US. We have spent some time
with your commissioners incidentally
considering American annexation. Its
principles impress us profoundly. The
plan of government offered the Philip
pines seems in theory to be a good col
onial system, but why should a nation
seek to make colony of distant peo-
pie. who have been so long fighting
against Spain to secure the same rights
your annexation gives? You fought
the same battle in America when you

THIS is 1PPETIZING.

a Mississippi spring poet, according
to the Durant News, has evolved the APP
pended soulful effusion:
An oyster sat on a cracker box
With his handkerchief to his eyes.
"Why do you weep, my briny friend?"
Said the cracker in mild surprise.
He walled wild and woeful wall,
And rocked himself to and fro
"'rhe ladies are having grand bazar,
And will be after me, L know"
The chicken heard the terrible news,
As he kept on his celery bed,
With his toes turned up to the man in
the moon,
And parasol over his head
"Wife, hand me my waterproof double
quick,
| haven't moment to lose;
They'll have my beautiful head chopped
off,
Before l can get on my shoes"
The cucumber prickcd up his scolloped
ears,
And out of the garden he fled,
The green pepper climbed a telegraph
pole,
And the cabbage stood on his head.
-
The onion cried till he couldn't speak,
And the mustard gave yell,
The CORY tomato split her skin
And tumbled into the well.
The teapot sat in the coffee mill
And famed with japanese fan;
A pitcher turned blue with fright
And was drowned in a kerosene can.

Of the NOrtherners who are talking
loudest about the horrors OF lynching
in the South lived down there they
might resort to Just as summary tneahs
for the protection Of their wives and
families from Otitrages. From what
we can read, the situation Is alarming
and ,needs summary measures. We
arc not in favor OF lynching. We
simply say that when it comes to

people in the North hardly know what
they would do if they lived in the dan
