award, amounting to 100, 900
francs, or nearly 100000, was not
granted to anyone. 1t was de-
cided that only one of the COM
petitors, Mr.. Roper, of London,
had presented an invention
worthy of part of the prize-1O..
600 francs, or about $4,000. All
sorts of apparatus were submitted,
including life boats, life-saving
belts AMI RATS of light steel, oc-
cupying but little space. The
jury finally declared that if the
Pollock heirs wished to continue
the competition, inventors should
be requested to limit the scope of
their devices to improvements in
the security of ships and in meth
DDS for saving the entire vessels
with the passengers, in case of
acct dent, without essentially
changing the usual plan of ship
construction or involving excess
Sive expense. 1t is understood
that the heirs have consented to
this arrangement, and the next
competition will take place in the
autumn of 1901.

THAT SIEG PLANT,
Milwaukee Papers Say That the
Plant is Sold to A. D. MeiseIbach
and Will be Reopened.
AN OLD STORY REVIVED AGAIN

The officials of the Trust in This City Say
That It ia hardly Possible That Metsel-
bach would Resign From the Trust and
open a Factory of His own-May be
transferred to Weiselbacb on Behalf of
the Big Bicycle Company.
Now that the Kenosha papers have
dropped the question of the sale of the
Sieg plant, the Milwaukee papers
have managed to discover the old
story, published many weeks ago, IN
regard to the probability of A. ID.
Meise1bach taking charge Of the plant.
One of the papers contains the follow
ing in regard to the deal:
.It is reported that A. D. Meisel-
bach, the North Milwaukee bicycle
magnate, has purchased the plant or
the Sieg Manufacturing Company at
Kenosha and that it will be reopened
shortly. Mr.. Meise1bach was not IN
his office at the American Bicycle COM
panv's works in North Milwaukee this
morning. but members of the company
stated that he was not ready to talk
about the Sieg plant.
"There has been a great deal OF in
terest felt by manufacturers generally
of late as to the disposition of the S1eg
plant. It is at once one of the largest
and best-equipped factories in the
country, but by reason of the sus-
pension of operations some time ago 1T
was supposed to have passed into the
hands of the bicycle trust. This re-
port, however, was untrue, the prop
erty having passed to Mr.. Morgan, for
many years the head of the Morgan q
Wright Tire company.
E'Mr. Meise1bach is the resident man
ager of the American Bicycle COM
pany. He is reported to have secured
better terms for his North Milwaukee
plant than any other manufacturer IN
the country. According to,one of the
stockholders of the American Bicycle
company, Mr.. Meise1bach is said to
have received $35O,O00 in stock and
Sill, 900 in cash for his works. AS
manager of the company's North Mil
waukee interests he is said to receive
salary of $40, 900 per year.
"When approached few days ago
upon the subject, Mr.. Meiselbach de-
MED that he had purchased the S1eg
shops. It was then reported that he
was to operate a plant at Kenosha in
opposition to the trust. Mr.. Meisel-
bach, in refuting this statement, said
| it would be absurd for him, one of the
heaviest stockholders of the company,
to institute rival factory
There is no one at the Sieg works in
this city that can give any facts in re-
gard to any deal that is being made,
but other men connected with the BIZ
cycle trust were seen today and stated
that it was hardly possible that the
Sieg works would ever be transferred
to Mr.. Meise1bach unless they were
transferred to him in connection with
his official connection with the Bicycle
truss as manager of the Milwaukee de-
partment. They scott at the idea that
Mr.. Meise1bach would give up ten
thousand dollar position for the pur-
pose of running plant in opposition

QUARLEs ON PORTO RICO.

wisconsin Senator Writes a Letter in
Answer to Criticisms From Supporters.
United States District Attorney M.
C. Phillips, of Oshkosh, has received
the following letter from Senator ]. v.
Ouar1es regarding protests which have
been forwarded against the passage OF
the Porto Rico tariff bill:
"Rep1ying to your favor of March 5,
I must confess to some surprise at the
view taken of the Porto Rico tariff bill
by many people who are actuated by
feeling of friendliness to the people OF
the island. 1t is exactly thai fleeing
that has prompted the pendingHbi11.
eve do not propose to take dollar
of the tax that is raised from articles
going into or coming out of PoEto Rico.
Instead of placing direct tax upon
the impoverished people, who are not
able to pay, we raise, the revenue by
indirect tax, as we have been in the
habit of doing on our own people.
s'The warehouses of Porto Rico are
full of sugar and tobacco. Planters
and spectators of Porto Rice are here
using every possible influence to bring
about free trade in their own interest.
They will have to pay the bulk of the
revenue, and they know it. We pro-
pose to give the ordinary Porto Ricans
a rest and raise the revenue in man
ner which will place no burden upon
them.
:'This is mere temporary eXpedient
to bridge over an emergency and why
the people should become hysterica1 on
the subject cannot understand. No
territory ever taken into the United
States has been so generously treated,
but in every other instance the revenue
has been raised by direct taxation.
The strongest argument in favor of
the bill, perhaps, is the fact that an
assertion of the right to lay the tariff
would enable us to obtain a speedy
decision of the supreme court upon a
fundamental principle which must
control all the legislation regulating
all the islands. You must see the i'm
portance of having this decision at the
earliest moment.
ST am entirely unable to see any
principle sacrificed any right that is
violated, or any harm that is done by
this temporary measure.
Very respectfully,
J. V. QUARLEs".

LOOKING FOR HEATH.
Chief of Police o'Hare is at Work foI the
British Consul in Chicago.

Chief of Police O'Hare received a
letter from w. D. Ingraham, Repre-
sentative of Her Majesty's govern
ment in Chicago this morning asking
him to search for the whereabouts
of a man named Dillon O'Connor
Heath, who is supposed to be a resident
of this city. The request is made on
behalf of w. B. Nico11, of Cheshire,
England, but the letter fails to state
the reason for the desire to locate the
missing man. The letter states that
Heath came to this city from Ireland
in 1892, and has been supposed to be
living here ever since.
There has been but one Heath here
in that time and that was Richard
Heath, who was formerly employed at
the Northwestern Freight Office. He
has since removed to Racine, and is
now one of the managers of the Stand
ard Oil company in that city.

MORE COMPLICATIONS.
American Mining Company in State of
Insurrection over Big Suit

Attorney J. Is. Walsh, of the firm of
Walsh Brothers, of Chicago, was in
Kenosha Friday afternoon preparing
to take very important part in the
suit recently brought by John r. FL
dred against the American Mining
company, to recover 100000.
Attorney Walsh has added new COM
p1ications to the case. He states that
the case has never been recognized by
the company, and that the service of
the suit on Charles N. Langdon will
be of no avail, as that gentleman is
not an officer of the company.
1t seems that the members of the
company are now in state of insur-
rection. Recently the stockholders
disagreed, and one party of 'rsE-gh met
in Milwaukee and elected Mr.. Langdon
president of the company. The other
party, in which it is claimed a ma jor-
ity of the stockholders are interested,
met and elected another set OF officers.
When the case comes up Monday
Attorney Walsh will appear for the
company and refuse to allow the case
to come to trial on the ground that no
service has been had on the officers of
the company. The case promises to
be one OF more tl1a q ordinary interest.

who are deeply bereaved at the loss of
one who was always their best friend
and advisor. The deceased was
woman of rare qualities. A devout
Christian lady and one who had won

For the past fifteen years Mrs.
