THE BICYCLE TRUST.
Persistent RumOr in New York That
1t Has Fizzled Out.

1t Has FizzIed Ont.
New York, July 15.-Subdued excitement
and a manner of mystery have been the
characterizing facts about the Offices of
the American Bicycle Company, better
known as the Bicycle Trust, for several
days past. Secretary Bonnell has been in
variably pleasant and has made the state
ment to reporters that there is nothing new
absolutely nothing. AS was announced on
Thursday morning, there was meeting
that day, and one of an important charac-
ter. The meeting was conference be-
tween the men who are arranging the
financial details with the bankers.
All day yesterday there was a
string of visitors at the offices
of the chief promoters. These
with the persistent rumor that the trust
has fizzled out. Men in the trade say that
at least there has been a hitch. The
American Bicycle Company was incorpor-
ated with capital of $500 ,000 OF this
amount it was said about $50, ,000, 900 would
be delivered in stock. The chief problem
throughout has been that of raising the
necessary cash capital. The basis of the
talk is that the bankers who were to pro-
duce the cash have not done so. The op-
tions of the separate manufacturers that
A. G. Spalding holds expire on August 1.
The present disturbance is due entirely
to the question that some have raised:
Is the money ready to buy the plants
and complete the deal? If it is not, it may
not be SO easy to get another extension of
time from the individual makers. The
name of Charles r. Flint, who is at the
head of the rubber trust and has been the
successful promoter of several big ventures
! of the kind, has been brought into the
| trouble. The trust proposed would have,

GOLDEN STORIES oF ALASKA.
Glowing Descriptions OF the Wealth
Of the Cape Nome sRegion.ss


Seattle, Wash, July 15.-The steel steam
ship Alliance. Captain Harawisk, arrived
from s., Michaels yesterday, the
first vessel to arrive from that ice bound
port. The Alliance brought but $4,000 in
gold. Her passengers had drafts for a
much larger amount but the big gold ship
ments will follow ON regular express
steamers She was followed into port by
the steamer Otizaba, from Skaguay, with
100000 in dust in possession of twenty
miners. The Alliance had the first news
that has been received from the newly dis
covered gold region around Cape Nome
since last February. There were several
Cape Nome miners on the Alliance. All
brought out more or less gold. 4a -
The story they tell is wonderful, j. W.
Price brought $4,000 worth of Cape Nome
gold to St. Michaels. 1t represented eight
days work two feet below the surface on
claim s on Glacier Creek. L. Loenberg, a
German soldier, has a claim on Dexter
Creek that is producing an ounce per hour.
If he had sluice boxes he could clean up
$1,000 per day without difficulty. Gold
seems to pay from the grass roots down.
Three men on Snow Gulch, new discov-
cry, cleaned up $4,000 in four days DR..
Kettleson, the Government reindeer agent,
has claim on the same gulch that has
never yielded less than SIS to the~pan, and
averages $50. Deer Creek is fabulously
rich. AS much as $4,000 is offered for
unprospected claims. Owners on ophir
Creek are holding for $4,000 for each
claim. David S. Lane, of San Francisco,
is the only actual miner out from the new
gold fields. He says that the poor miner
has not much chance, as all the rich
claims are staked.
The commandant of Fort st. Michaels
intends sending Federal troops to Nome
City shortly. There will be considerable
trouble over claims located by power of
attorney. There had been several shooting
affrays already and serious riots are an
ticipated when the big crowd that STAN
peded from Dawson arrives. Scurvy and
frost created great havoc among the miners
who stampeded to Cape Nome in Decem-
Der last. Seven Of party from Holyoke
Mass, died Of scurvy and several Cali
fornians were frozen to death on the trail
The scurvy camp of the Holyoke party
was terrible sight when found by well
miners from Gulovin Bay. The following
from Holyoke were dead: DR.. Brigham
X. Rodney, G. Grotieau, Joe Fountain, and
three other French Canadians

AMERICANS SURE TO WIN.
British SpOrtsmen Think Well of the
Yale-Haryard Team.

London, July 15.-Secretary Herbert, of
the Amateur Athletic Association, will
make a complimentary visit to the Yale
Harvard athletes at Brighton on Sunday.
The names of the Americans have not yet
been submitted for the approval OF the
association, yet Burke and Quinlan, whose
standing as amateurs has been question
ed, will probably be allowed to compete.
Mr.. Herbert thinks that the Americans
are sure TO win, as the British teams are
backward in their training and will not
have time TO get in form before the games
take place. The American trainers real
iZe the necessity OF gradually getting the
men down 10 heavy work after the pro-
longed rest, so yesterday afternoon
they were taken TO Preston Park
TO that of the day before, but
slightly more severe. The runners were
sent over the turf easily for half the dis
tance of the events in which they will
compete The hurdlers tried few jumps
over fences and the hundred-yard men
practiced getting away from the tape
There is no place in the park available for
Jumpers, consequently their work was con-
fined to limbering up exercises ". A
Boal and II. ]. Brown both of Harvard
had hammers out. They were not called
upon to exert themselves, but it was evil
dent that they had suffered little in form
after their long rest. Captain Fisher and
Dixon Boardman. both of Yale. came to
London today to try the corners of the
track at Queens Park. The others will
join them today, and all will return in the
evening to Brighton. Chairman Wendell.
of the athletic committee of the American
universities said yesterday:
I'VE are greatly pleased with the excel
lent condition of the men. Thus far there
are no evidences of the anticipated bad
effects of the climate. From present in
dications the Americans are fit to do their
best week from today Hundreds of
local sportsmen watched the men at work
this afternoon and became enthusiastic
over the form and appearance Of the Amer

MR.. M'KINLEY's CANTON HOME.
Move Toward the Purchase of the
DOOryard Campaign Property.


Capton, Ohio, July 15.-It is understood
here that President Mckinley is nego-
tiating for the purchase OF the residence
property he occupied here during the
famous dooryard campaign in 1896. Eliza
beth A. Harter, who controls the property,
declined to talk of the matter. but At.
torney Austin Lynch, of Day, Lynch &
Day, whose firm represents the President
in local business affairs, said: mo deal
has been closed. Negotiations are pending.
There are some legal points that can be
arranged" President Mckinley has always
shown a great deal of sentiment for this
home and sentiment is undoubtedly the
prompting affair in the present negotia-
tions. While the house is more OF a

but ii is not understood that the Presl-

two-story frame of nine or ten rooms in
three wings. and has large open verandas.
1t was the first home of the McKinleys
after their marriage, and in IL their two
children were born and died. 1t was given
up and passed to the Harters when the
McKinleys took possession of the old

was managed, and then his mothers lesi-

BULL AND LION FIGHT.
Men and Women Frenzied at a Brutal
Exhibition in France.

Paris, July ia fight between a lion
and a bull, which had been advertised for
long time, took place yesterday at Rou-
baix. Special trains were run to the city,
and they carried large number of persons
eager to see the contest Seats in the
boxes sold for 500 each. The lion, which
is named Goliah. is eight years old, and
has been in captivity for only six months
1t is claimed that he is twenty eentimetres
higher than any other lion in Europe.
The BULL named Tenaito, was five and a
half years old, and of immense strength.
There was breathless excitement when the
animals were set on each other, but for a
long time the lion refused to fight. The
bull, however, was anxious to fight, and
he attacked the lion, goring him in several
places. Then the king of beasts" became
angry, and, springing upon his opponent,
tore off one of his ears. For few seconds
there was terrific fight. Then the lion
drew off into corner and absolutely re-
fused to fight any more. The spectators
became frenzied with rage, and men and
women shrieked for the lions death.
There was riot for twenty minutes, until
the lion was driven into his cage and a
toreador killed the bull. The spectators
were mostly we'll dressed.

great imperial machinery in motion; that
England was lying spellbound when the
majestic genius OF Kipling brooded over
the deep, and called forth the forces which
ran, throbbing with life, to the extremities
OF the Seven Seas. But this is to exag-
gerate the function of an author. The
greatest poet does not start a national
identify himself with it, and to speed it
smoothly on its way. That We cannot deny
that Mr.. Kipling has done.
But what will be Mr. kipling's position
when this fit of popular materialism has
played itself out? We are sure OF one
thing: the very adorers of today will be
the first to turn upon their image and pelt
it with stones. Public taste will change
but Mr.. Kipling is far too deeply scored
with the characteristics of his talent to
change with it. Within certain flexible
limits we know now what he will give US.
At present everything tends to the glorifi-
cation of his strength and to the minimiz-
ing of his weaknesses Borne along on the
crest of the wave of public satisfaction
he seems to have no defects at all But
he is not that faultless monster which the
world ne'er saw, the author equally
equipped on all sides. If the tickle public
should turn round and demand philosophi-
cal reflection from it's poets, or tender SEN
timent, or the symbolism of aerial melan-

'In Memoriam' and no "Kubla Khan to
be expected from Mr.. Kipling. In these and

FISCAL REFORM IN CHINA.
A New But Worthless Edfct Issued at
Pekfn.

Pekin, July IA new fiscal reform
edict has been issued but it is valueless,
as it is based on the present corrupt sys-
tenn continuing. 1t is important only as
showing that the Empress recognizes the
need of reform. She has recently been
studying the writings of the reformer,
Kung Yu-Wei. She approves many Of his
ideas, and has allowed his book to be
openly sold.
London, July 15.-The Times" COM
menting on the new Chinese fiscal reform
edict, says it does not expect any practical
effects from it, but that it is important as
cry of distress and as a confession that
reform is necessary. which the Central
Government is powerless to effect. 1t
adds: 1T is our policy by all the means
at our command to keep the Chinese Gov
ernment on it's legs as long as possible,
and to assist it to introduce any sort of re-
forms that 1t is capable of carrying out
but the policy may not prove feasible. 1t
will be prudent for us to be prepared for
the contingency of the collapse of the Gov
ernment at Pekin. The prospect is not re-
assuring. We must be vigilant."

The Colonels won the opening game from
the Senators yesterday afternoon by the
score of to 9. Mercer was batted for
five hits and five runs in the third inning,
and the locals were never able to over
come this lead. The visitors won the
game by superior all-around playing, and
although the umpiring of Mr.. Smith was
OF the worst kind he distributed his bad
decisions with a lavish hand, and was not
at all particular about who got the worst
of it.
In the first inning O'Brien hit for home
run and in the third Mercer did likewise,
and for time il seemed that the home
club would win hands down. After the
