THE HAVANA POLICE FORCE.
Proposed REORGANIZATION COntem
plates One Thousand Men.

Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn
has made public the joint plan recently
submitted by Colonel George E. Moulton
of the I'd Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and
John w. AlcCullagh, ex-chief of police of
New York, for the organization of the Ha-
vana police.
The plan contemplates the organization
of a police force aggregating LOCO men.
The operations of this force are to be So
perintended by a chief of police selected
from among the field officers of the United
States volunteer army, assisted by five Of
ficers of that army of a grade not higher
than that of captain.
1t is further contemplated that the other
officers shall be appointed from the resi-
dents of the city. The plan also contem-
plates two detectives for each district and
at each precinct such number of patrol
men as the necessities may require, not ex-
ceeding in the aggregate 40 patrolmen,
averaging sixty to each precinct, and pro-
Vlding for go night posts and $50 day
posts. In addition to the above there are
to be clerks, drivers and janitorS distribut-
ed according to the need of the service.
one hundred of the patrolmen are to be
mounted for the purpose of properly pa
troling the suburban districts.
The entire force is to be clothed with a
neat, distinct uniform suited to the climate.
Inc uniform of the patrolmen is to consist
of panama straw hat with a rosette of
red, white and blue with letters ~. s. on
the side. The shirt is to be of thin dark
blue flannel. The blouse to be SINGLE
breasted of dark blue serge with white
buttons, trousers of dark blue serge, with
white piping on the seams shoes of tan or
fair leather and gloves white. The equip
ment is to consist of belt of metal clasp,
thirty calibre revolver and a policeman's
club. Each member of the force is to wear
a metal shield of appropriate design. The
patrol wagon service is to consist of one
two-mule wagon at headquarters and one
for each district. 1t is proposed that ambu-
lances with mules and equipment be sup
plled from the present equipment of the
United States army. The operation of the
force will be similar to that of the police
department of New York, so far as the
conditions will permit. A fair proportion
OF the personnel of the force is to be taken
from the Spanish and Cuban, or mixed
nationalties, resident in Havana regard
less of their utilization with either of the
recently contending armies. Each member
OF the fCrce Is to subscribe to a proper
oath OF allegiance to the United States
government. The total cost per annum for
carrying on the police system of Havana is
estimated, conservatively, according to the
report, tc be S723, $50

HONG KONG WANTS WHEELS,
Good Place to Unload the Older
Makes.


Consul General Wildman, at Hong Kong,
IN report to the State Department, says
that since the occupation of Manila by the
Americans there has been a boom in the
bicycle trade at Hong Kong, which has for
years been the feeder for the Philippines
as well as a warehouse. In the course of
time, he says agencies VIII be opened in
Manila. But meantime Hong Kong will be
the distributing center. The consul general
says that this is magnificent field for BIZ
cycle manufacturers to unload all their old
stock The SO make would command as
good price as a 80. There are no favored
makes of wheel in Hong Kong; all have
equal chances and are not distinguished by
names. The Chinese, who are becoming the
largest users or bicycles on that coast, are
utterly lnuiHerent to name OF reputation
lie says That what the market demands is
Il low grade, low-prlced machne-the one
that would sell for so gold IN America
Adding, say, $3.50 freight from New York
to Hong Kong, the machine could be sold
at nice profit. A hIgh-grade American
wheel is selling at Hong Kong now for S1SJ
Mexican, and where one could be sold at
TINS price, 100 at the cheaper figure would
md market. Mr.. Wildman closes with a
warning to dealers not to sell ndiscrimi-
hately to unknown purchasers.

EDUCATION AND WEALTH.
The Increase of One Leads to the II
crease of the Other,

hS one LEADS the In
crease of the Other.
Commissioner of Education Harris yester-
day appeared before the industrial commits
sion. He quoted statistics showing that with
the increase of education came an increase
in the wealth of the people. In speaking of
manual training schools he said they were
vastly superior to the apprentice system
for in the latter the master did not want
his apprentice to become familiar with all
points of his trade, as he feared he would
leave his employer in order to better his
position. DR.. Harris considered the news
papers one of the greatest educational fac
tors of today. They made the people a
reading class, put before them the best
thought of the day on every topic and en-
ab!ed communities to form sentiment that
made 1t possible for government through
intelligence instead of police power While
an illiterate Workingman will, he thought,
IN the future have as good a chance to OBJ
tain employment as now, if he were edli-
Gated he would be able to earn twice or
thrice as much. He did not believe that the
wealthy class was growing richer and
smaller and the poorer class poorer and
larger. 1t really appeared as though the
contrary was true. In 1880 half of the
population of the United States was en-
gagged in farming, while in 1890 this class
represented only 40 per cent. Those who
have given up farming are now engaged in
occupations giving them higher wages.

WAR ON OUR WHEELS,
Combination of German Manufacture
ers Against American Bicycles.

A strong combination has been formed
in Germany against American bicycles.
Deputy Consul General Mason at Frank
fort has made a report to the State De-
partment on the subject, in which he says:
Failing to obtain from the imperial
government the prohbitory import duty on
American bicycles which they have so
earnestly and persistently demanded, the
members of the German Bicycle Manufac-
turers' Association have decided upon the
following simple but ingenious plan to kill
the American cycle trade in this country.
From this time forward they will unan-
mously refuse all credit to any dealer who
handles, as part of his stock in trade, a
bicycle of American origin.
The probable effectiveness of this meas
ure will be readily inferred from the fact
that the association includes in its men,
bership nearly 100 of the most important
bicycle makers in Germany, who have been
accustomed hitherto to give to retail deal
erS from two to four months credit and
very liberal terms in respect to parts and
materials to be used in fulfilling guaran-
ties and making repairs. Under this sys-
tenn men of energy and tact have been able
to turn their money over rapidly and do
a large business upon a comparatively
small capital. Henceforward if a dealer in
American bicycles wishes to adapt his
stock to all classes of purchasers by keep
ing In his assortment German made
wheel he must pay cash for what he has
hitherto easily and cheaply obtained upon
long and elastic credits.
Since the majority of Independent bicy-
Gle dealers in Germany are in close bust
ness relations with. and under personal
obligations to, one or more manufacturers
it is expected that the effect of this heroic
policy will be to seriously injure the sale
of American bicycles, unless exporting
manufacturers in the United States take
an aggressive attitude, and, by extending
and broadening their system of credits and
backing up their best retail agents vigor-
ously, make the competition so hot that
the German makers, many of whom are
laden with unSold wheels brought over
from last season will be compelled to make
peace by resembling the present Decree
