Especial Washington letter.

DR.. Edward Bedloe, United States
consul at Canton, China, has leave
of absence and is on his way home.
He will be welcomed by friends in
every city between San Francisco and
Boston; and he will be especially well
coined in this national capital, where
his friends are legion.
Consu! Bedloe was in the diplomatic
service during the Harrison administra-
tion as consul at Annoy. He was re-
moved early in the second Cleveland ad-
ministration, and returned to America
as the Chinese governments commits
sioner to the Chicago exposition. Dur
ing his diplomatic experiences Consul
Bedloe has made some discoveries OF
great value to our country. In u letter
to personal friend he says:
IL think our best and most profit
ent. Japan, with her Al, 100000 of peo-
pie; Corea, with 12,000,O0O; the vast en-
pire of China with more than 400,000,OO0
and Siam and the Spanish, Portuguese
and French Indies with another 100000
600, comprise the territory in which our
American merchants and manufacture
ers should and must compete with those
of England, Belgium, France and Ger
many. The difficulties and obstacles
are numerous, but the national trait of
Americans is to overcome such things;
and by wise foresight of our Legislators
and diplomats, and study of condi-
tions by our boards of trade and cham
bers of commerce, it can be accom-
plished. We are bound to encounter
the jealousy and hostility of the Eu-
ropean trade interests already estab-
ished in those distant lands. The great
British houses, the German companies,
the Belgian and French firms leave no
stone unturned to hinder or injure us,
and to kill or hurt our American trade,
to the promotion of their own. Some
foreign firms, indeed, go to lengths
which in our own land would be re-
garded as actionable at law and even
punishable by our criminal courts"
To illustrate his meaning, DIR. Bed
loe cited instances. Imitation win
chester rifles made in Belgium, and
more dangerous TO the men who fired
them than the men or animals at whom
they were aimed, had been palmed off
by an English firm. Cheap and fraud
ulent limitations of American cart
ridges, fabricated by cheap labor in
England, were also sent to the eastern
purchasers. Additional instances were
mentioned. He further said:
"Other frauds were the filling of
American flour bags with poor imita-
tion British flour, filling canvas covers
of Chicago ham and bacon with really
unmarketable pork, putting up ST.
berian salmon in exact imitation of the
best salmon canned in California and
Oregon, and selling cheap limitations of
axes and shovels, farming implements,
saws and lamps. Worst of all, l have

lish cotton cloth stamped with coun-
labels of Fall River, Taunton, Will

CHICAGO BICYCLE THIEF TRAP.

once arose also, completed the circuit
and rang the jingling alarm. Nothing
simpler or more deadly to the bicycle
thief.
Several wheels are kept in the little
space all day, but they are piled with
the wheel which operates the alarm on
the outside of the lot and resting
against the others, so no wheel can
be disturbed or removed without ring
ing the bell. The bicycle thief would
most probably take the outside wheel,
anyhow, so the alarm was certain to
sound. And it did. One day last week,
after the trap had been set for many
days without making catch, the alarm
bell suddenly jingled merrily and the
whole Office force rushed out into the
hall. Fifty feet from the recess was
a young man in rubber shoes trundling
bicycle. He was caught and brought
back
"What are you doing with that
wheel?" asked his captor.
81 was just looking it over" said the
young man with the rubber shoes. ST
admired its points very much"
"Come into the Office where there is
better light to examine it," suggest
ed the man who had a firm grip in his
coat collar, "maybe we can sell you the
wheel"
Meantime some one had summoned
a policeman and in a few minutes the
rubber shoe man was, locked up. Then
the bicycle was carefully replaced or
the electric button to await the next
victim and everybody went back to
work-Chicago Chronicle.

I expressed my wonderment that l had
not before discovered and had all these
years been ignorant of the fact that he
was the identical man whom / had sup
posed to be buried in the field of Shiloh.
1t seems that after the battle Berz
was removed to a hospital and for many
months lowered between life and death
and never again rejoined his regiment,
and, although wounded desperately
and somewhat crippled. he again en-
listed under another command and fol-
lowed the fortunes of the war to the
end.
To me it seems almost like dream
to have encountered him after so many
years, and L never see him but what
l instinctively grasp him by the hand
and wish that / were commissioner of
pensions and could adjust the claims
which he has against government that
is all too slow in recognizing his mer-
its. So it is; the old soldiers are scat
tered to the four winds, many wander
ers on the face of the earth; many of
them crippled, in ill-health, broken
down and prematurely old.-Chicago

trade marks. American kerosene tins
are filled with the lowest grade of
Russian oil, and even with the kerosene
from the new petroleum discovered in
Sumatra. American cigarettes, Amer
lean sewing machines, American clocks
are all initiated in the manner that |
have described.
The whyfore and wherefore of these
frauds is not difficult to understand. 1t
is because American goods have such
high reputation in all eastern markets.
They are universally recognized as the
best. To the orientals the mere fact
that an article is American is guar
antee of its worth and value. The con-
ditions which have described, that ex-
ist to-day, are what we may expect to
have continued until treaties shall be
enacted which shall put an end to this
style of swindling and robbery.
ITO promote and extend our foreign
trade we should have keen business
men and practical artisans at the prin-
cipal points in the far east to learn
what the people want, To ascertain how
they make their goods, and the de-
signs and patterns of goods which are
most in demand in the different dis
tricts, and thus practically learn what
is necessary to meet the requirements.
I have always thought that perma-
nent exhibition OF American products
should be established in China, to which
consignments of American-made goods
could be sent, and every article in which
there is a profit for the manufacturer,
the merchant and the exporter dis
played for the instruction of the Or
iental purchaser"
That's the kind of a consul to have.
There are too many men appointed for
mere political purposes, wiso go into
the consular service for the sole OBJ
ject of having good time, with prince
ly income, for four years, or longer, if
the political party making the appoint
ment remains in power.

ELECTRIC CURRENT.
English Surgeons Obtained Power
for RocntEcn Rnys from the
Riders of II Tandem.

A physician of Belleville, Ont, has
received letter from relative in Eng
land who was in the Soudan campaign.
The writer gives the following narra-
tion of how surgeons in the Soudan
developed an electric current:
after the battle of Omdurman we
brought back to Abadieh 121 wounded
officers and men. OF this number there
were ii cases which could not be di-
agnosed accurately by ordinary surg
ical means. BY the help of the Roentgen
rays, which were used about 60 times,
we found the bullet or proved it's alb
seuce in 30 out of these 81 cases, the
odd case being so i'll with severe bull
let wound in the lung that it was not
considered justifiable to examine him at
the time. Of course, we had no steam
engine to generate our electricity for
us, and the desert heat had dissolved
ourspecially prepared candles into their
oily constituents.
Necessity, you know, is the moth
er of invention, and we had recourse
to unique method. The pulley of
small dynamo was connected by means
u d lGdlllcT strap with lue rear WIlecl
of a specially constructed tandem BIZ
cycle. The required velocity for the dy-
namos was thus obtained, and our pro-
cedure was as follows: Having care
fully adjusted the circuit with the stor-
age battery and also with the voltmeter
and ammeter, warrant officer took
his position on the seat of the bicycle
and commenced pedaling. When Is
volts and II amperes were registered
the switch close to the handle of the
bicycle was opened and the charging of
the battery began.
''As the resistance became greater a
sensation as if riding uphill was eX-
perienced, and the services of an adj
ditional orderly were requisitioned for
the front seat of the tandem. This BIZ
cycle practice was generally carried out
in a shade temperature of 1l0 deprees
Fahrenheit, so that at the end of half
an hour the orderlies were not sorry
when the switch was turned off and
the machine brought TO standstill."

Must Turn 90 the Right.

Attorney-General Akin, of Spring
field, H., has rendered an opinion that
bicycle is in legal contemplation TO
be regarded as Il carriage or vehicle, and
that, particularly in relation to its use
ON a highway, the bicycle is entitled
to the same privileges and subject to
the same burdens as other vehicles. He
holds that ordinarily bicycle rider is
entitled to part of the beaten track
unless it is impracticable from the ma
ture of the ground for the driver of
the carriage or wagon to turn to the
right; in which case the matter must be
determined by its own particular facts.
The effect of this opinion is to compel
the drivers of all vehicles to turn to
the right when meeting bicycle, as
the law requires in meeting a We,

him. Others were receiving consular

prise at the Indifference of the presi-

iastic for your friends. There are 9TH
ers. The president is looking out for
the best men for the best places; and
if he passes me by it will be because he
has found, or believes that he has found,
a better man for the consular service.

lean, and he is doing his best in an ar
duous position. He is selecting the best
men all the time. Maybe 1 am not one

SELECTING A WHEEL.
A Few of the Points to he Considered
by the inexperienced Purchaser
of a Wheel.

When selecting a bicycle, attention
should be given, first of all, to its weight
as compared with the weight it is to
carry, and the class of roads over which
it is to be used.
For all-around purposes, standard
make of bicycle will carry from six to
eight times its own weight, and every
pound added to its burden beyond that
increases the proximity to the danger
lines 1t is no uncommon thing to see
100 pounds of rider pushing 20 pounds
of bicycle at a speed of IA miles an
hour over country roads. If the wheel
gives out it is charged to defective
material or workmanship, when Unreal
ity the defect is in the skill of the
rider.
If the wheels of a carriage strike an
Obstruction, in order to pass over it the
entire load must be lifted to the same
height as the obstruction encountered,
while with the bicycle the weight of
the rider depresses the tire to a certain
extent, so that the lifting force is re-
duced by large percentage. OF course
this reduction of lifting force must of
necessity depend upon the condition
and quality of the tire in use. The CEN
ter of gravity of a rider should be
above point midway between the
crank axle and rear hub. This will give
the rider position which will end dble
5lm to apply direct force to the pedals
without unnatural strain upon the mus
cles of the legs.
The handle-bar should be so adjusted
as to be reached easily without resting
any weight upon it. The practice of
putting one-haif ones weight upon the
handle-bar changes a pleasant pastime
into arduous labor, and forces the per-
ineum TO sustain undue pressure.
The wheels should run true and with
out jar, the spolses tense and the rims
free from imperfections. They should
be equipped with good tires, for upon
this point depends ihuch Of the comfort
or discomfort of cycling. - Golden
