In Rochester,, N. Y, and other eastern
cities the simple idea OF attaching a speed
indicator to the wheels of the cycle policemen
has been adopted. The indicator has a dial
that reveals at a glance the speed at which
the machine carrying 1t is moving and the
officers by keeping pace with a scorcher for
a short distance are enabled to make an ex-
act affidavit concerning his speed. In this
way injustices are avoided and an end is put
to the bitterness of charges and denials be-
tween bike cops and riders.

The automobile has the same kind Of a
fight before 1t that the bicycle and the cleo
trio railway have had for their rights on
the public highways. While at Chicago and
many other places the streets and parks
have been opened after some opposition, yet
in a number OF cities self-propelled vehicles
are still refused admission to the public
drives and parks. 1t would be reasonable
for these commissioners to oppose these
vehicles during experimental trials, while
undergoing tests or In time competitions.
as depriving others of their rights; but to
bar out owners Of automobiles, whose car
riages have proved their excellence and
awakened the admiration OF an interested
public, is to assume an arrogance not con-
sldered fitting to officials in free America.
A new law adopted by the Connecticut
legislature requires all dealers in second
hand bicycles to take out a license and keep
a book of record, explaining of whom and
when the bicycle was purchased and fully
describing the wheel. TIL law does not ap-
ply to those who take secondhand wheels
in trade, but these dealers must keep a
book giving a description Of such bicycles.
The penalty for noncompliance with the
law is a fine and three months imprison-
ment. The intention OF the law Is to keep
a lookout for stolen bicycles and to identify
any one dealing In them.
Having tried and failed to get into con-
ditiou to do himself Justice, Eddie Bald has

whose tutelage he intends following the
horses on the other side. AS Bald is a
strong National Cycling association man, he
will not be allowed to do any racing In
England, as none but League Of American
Wheelmen riders are permitted to compete
there. but rather than desert the Outlaws
and make peace with the parent organize
tion, he will stay on the track for good.

Arthur Gardiner, the Chicago cyclist who
recently announced his retirement, has de-
cided to return to the path. After his de-
feat in the middle-distance paced race at
Manhattan Beach over a month ago the
professional crack left his companions and
announced that he intended to abandon the
game and settle down to a business career.
But the allurements OF cycle racing have
been too much for him, and the fiaxen-

lots OF speed left in him yet. Within a

ans were secured in their right to elect
their king and to govern themselves ac-
cording to their own laws and customs,
and supreme court was created to secure
the rights of foreigners. Thereupon Male
toa was reelected king by his people.
There has been much unrest among the
natives since; but the most formidable out
break occurred in July. 1898, when Mataafa
was defeated and deported to an island of
the Union group.
The death from typhoid fever on August
- last OF King Malietoa IaupeDa was fol-
lowed by the intimation of desire on the
part of Germany to terminate the tripar-
ute agreement of 1889 regarding the gov
ernment of the islands. This agreement
as is well known. has been unsatisfactory
to all Of the three powers-Great Britain
Germany and the United States-which are
parties to it. The administration of the
government in the interregnum was super
vfsed by the consular Representatives of
the powers-L. w. Osborne United States;
I. b. Cusack-Smith. Great Britain. and F
Rose Germany-togethcr with Chief JUS
tice William Lee Chambers of Sheffield,
Ala, who acts as president of the super
visory committee.
Last September it was announced that
the United States had given its assent to
the return to Samoa, after an exile of five
years, of Mataafa. the former king who
led a revolt against Malietoa in 1888
Shortly after the return of Mataafa the
chiefs supporting him elected him king

lsh and German bluejackets Were landed
from the warships to demonstrate to the
natives the determination of the powers to
protect the white residents. and possibly to
snow also that hostiities on their part
would lead to foreign intervention
The three consnls of the three powers
agreed to remain neutral and allow the
chief justice to decide; but rumors spread
TO the effect that the German consul was
faEoring the claims of Mataafa a rumor
Which subsequent events would seem to
nave justified. December 81 Chief Justice
Chambers determined in favor of Malietoa

The diplomatic exchanges leading up to
this criais have been very sharp within the
last few days. Early last week the Berlin

complication. While they had been guard
ed against as far as possible by the recent
anticipatory exchanges, yet 1t was felt that
the German press and national sentiment
might be wrought to a high pitch by the
events which had occurred, and that this
outburst of popular feeling might over
come the strong efforts of officials to keep
the subject within pacific bounds.
OmciaI Statement of the Case.
In an authoritative quarter the attitude
of the British and American officials was
stated substantially as follows: 1t was
mutually understood between the two gov
ernments that the first essential in Samoa
was to maintain peace and order. For that
reason 1t was determined that any lawless-
ness on the part of Mataafa or any other
Samoan element, which threatened the
lives or property of residents. would be
suppressed even though force was re-
quired. This was entirely without refer
ence to the rights of the three govern
ments-Great Britain. the United States
and Germany-and was merely rule OF
self preservation and police security. Act
ing on this understanding Captain Sturdee
of the Porpoise gave notice some time ago
that he would lombard the Mataafans If
there was any outbreak disorder. This
insured quiet for a time, but he has al
ways been ready to use force if it was
necessary. 1t was not proposed to give
Samoa over to a reign of anarchy simply
because the German consular official at
Samoa differed with the British and Amer
lean officials. Outside Of these differences,
1t was proposed to protect life and prop
erty at all hazards.
When Admiral Kautz went to Samoa he
also had as his first duty to protect life
and property and to maintain order. 1t is
evident that the bloodshed has arisen out

A copyright Associated Press dispatch,

States cruiser Philadelphia, Admiral Kautz
commanding, and the British cruiser Por-

continued internationally for eight days.
Several villages have been burned and
there have been a number of casualties

the provisional government, continued to
defy the treaty after the arrival of the

augment the very full press report Upon
this officials based their views. In all quar-
tiers there were expressions of concern and
surprise at the seriousness and extent of
the bombardment, and the resulting loss of
life. That some overt act would take place
has been apprehended for many days, but
there was little idea it would take such
broad sweep. In this aspect of the case the
actual results were regarded as far more
and provided for during the recent diplo-
matte exchanges between the three govern
ments Moreover, new elements Of inter-
national danger had Unexpectedly arisen.
These included the proclamation of the Ger
