PENNEY & ROBINSON,

Republican fell into the hands of q
 family consisting of a husband, wife, daughter, son, and young nephew. The wife and younger members of the fam fly are peculiar but comprehensive newspaper readers. Before attacking the exciting telegraph, the scintillating local news or the massive editorial they daily inform themselves regarding the state of the secondhand trade by a business-like perUsal of the Popular Want column. In this way they came across MT Wasson's effusions. The mother and daughter quickly recalled that Miss Johnson, neighbor. had lost a wheel. Two days before she left t in front of the NJ. & P. office and when she returned, two minutes later, it was gone.
 The nephew. who had been locking with the messenger boys of the West ern Union Telegraph company. remem- bered that for two days the boys had been riding a Columbia wheel. The nephew imagined that an exchange had been unintentiaIly made. He went 10 Mir Wassons office and recognized the wheel there as Miss Johnson's. He led the Columbia around and Mir. Wasson reciprocated by recognizing it as his. The nephew. who is a sort of youthful Sherlock Holmes. further ascertained that Mir. Wasson. who had been in the Western Union office at the time Miss Johnson was in the M. 6 P. office. next door, must have come out and taken her wheel by mistake. Miss Johnson could not have made the mistake. She did not ride home at all Beside. she could not have ridden a diamond frame without becoming aware of its variety and more than all. MT. Wesson's wheel was found by the telegraph boys just where he had left it.

CHINAMEN ORGANIZE
Branch of Pc Wong Woey Is Formed
 in Phoenix.

Leung Kong, a Chinaman from San Francisco. has been in Phoenix for sev- ! eral days and according to the state mcnt of a prominent local Celestial, has succeeded in adding many members to the Pc Wong Woey, or Chinese reform party. He left the city yesterday and will go to Tucson and other points, where b. will' continue his work. His stay here is denied by several China men. and it is believed that he is try ing at all times to do his work as se- cretly as possible.
 A branch of the reform party was formed here several months ago, but was not of much strength. Now nearly every Chinaman in the city. is a mem Der. It is said that nine-tenths of the Chinese residents of America are mem bers of the Pc Wong WOey. Its i'm mediate object is to save the empire from dismemberment and go to the nSth of deposing the empress or de priving her of power. Then it is in tended to put young Kwang Hsu back on the throne and surround him with counsellors from their own body or from those whose sympathies are with them. The Chinese junta is receiving liberal financial support. All subscrip- tions are voluntary, yet il is claim d that there is now a fund of $25, 100000 in the treasury. The main. purpose of the fund is to save the empire from dismemberment and in the event of in vasiOn to build and buy ships and pay the expenses of an army for protection.
 What will you do now that the pow CTS have taken a hand in the settle ment of your troubles at homer quer- jed the reporter.
 Don't know: wait answered the Chink. with a deprecatory shrug or his shoulders We have plenty men, plenty army and can protect our selv-s."
 It 7s said that out of the 400 Chinese residents here, over SC0 are members q the Pc Wong Wosy. There are 29'oCo out of 4O.OOO residents of San Francisco BOO a- Vancouver. and small juntas at Salt Lake City.

INTERCHANGE OF WHEELS
How a Drop Frame Was Mistaken for a Diamond Frame.

A couple of days ago Mir. J. Curtis Wasson caused to be inserted in what is known as the Popular Want page of this paper the information to an al ways expectant public that there was at his office a ladies wheel, the owner of which was to him unknown. The wheel was not further described. for the reason that MT. Wasson is not up n~wheels. but he surmised from the fact that the bicycle was of the variety technically known as the drop frame that in some period of its career it had been the property of a lady. How it found lodgment in his office was a mystery to him.
 This advertisement was followed by another by MT. WassOn. stating that a Columbia bicycle had been taken from his office.
 These advertisements were duly printed and that morning copy of The

 Works Thrown Ont of xvn.p~

Works Thrown Out of Work. Branford, March 6.-.The Branford
 lock works department of the Yale &
 Towne Manufacturing company was
 damaged to the extent of about s15,o0O
 by fire late this afternoon caused by one of the lacquer kilns becoming oyer-
 heated. The loss however, will be cov-
 cred by insurance. Upwards of 400
 hands will be thrown out of employs ment pending repairs. The fire started about 4:3O o'clock and five streams of water were poured into the building for over an hour and half. The damage by water to machinery, manufactured stock and also unfinished articles wilf be heavy.
 The top had been taken off the lac- quer kiln to put in some work when the flames immediately shot out and almost immediately the room was ablaze. There were twenty girls employed in the room, but they all managed to escape In safety though in greatly excited condition. The flames then shot up the .ventilator shaft ftstosthe eecead lstex5 thence to q small attic, where it was most difficult of access and could only be subdued by deluge of water. The flames worked out through the roof and it will have to be rebuilt for a dis-y tance of nearly 300 feet. The lacquer room, where the fire started, was on the ground floor about in the center of the building. The bronze room adjoin- ing was practically flooded, while the packing room in the basement was sub- merged to the depth of over two feet. No accurate estimate of the loss could be obtained from the local superintend- ent this evening. The foundry build- ing adjacent was not damaged at all.

ANGLO-B WAR SITUATION
GEN. ROBERTS PAUSES WHILE HE
 RECEIYES REINFORCE
Fresh Troops, Stores and Remounts Stream Toward IIim-Brtttsh Position Generally Improved-BOcrs Seemingly Following Course Commended by
strategists.

| London, March 7-4:10 a. n.--Lord
 Roberts still pauses in the neighborhood l of Osfontein, while stores, remounts and | fresh troops stream toward him from
 the Cape. The British position also
 continues to improve in the minor
 spheres of the campaign. Natal is clear
 of Boers and Cape Colony is nearly so.
 The Boers seemingly are pursuing the
 course commended by the strategists, and are concentrating to resist the British main army. Various messages from correspondents with Lord Roberts report that the enemy are increasing continually on his front, extending, as one correspondent says, eight miles, and, as another says, eighteen miles. The lowest estimate of their numbers gives the Boers from eight thousand to ten thousand men, with smaller bodies nov- ing north and south of the British lines.
 Each army Is on both sides of the Modder river. Although the Boers have mounted eight guns on the tops of kop- jes and appear to be too far away for inspection, the British scouts report that they are diligently using pick and shovel. Military opinion is that their present position merely screens more easily defended ones deeper the re- gon.
 None of the military experts endeavor to fathom Lord Roberts plans, but 1t is suggested that he is quite willing to give the Boers time to assemble all their men in order to deliver smashing blow more effectively.
 The round robin in favor of the an- nexation of the Transvaal and the Free State, which is being promoted among the supporters of the government in the house of commons, continues to receive signatures. The sgnatories of the memorial to MT. Balfour affirm that the time has arrived for plain speaking inside and outside of parlia- ment and that Lord Salisbury's words are being construed into pledge against annexation and Lord Roberts proclamation into a promise of no con- fiescation of Boer property.
 The Transvaal agency at Brussels threatens rising of the Cape Dutch in the event of annexation, though why the Dutch should rise then rather than now is not explained. A. G. Hales. the Daily News correspondent who was captured by the Boers on February g, was released at Bloemfontein and put through the lines near Sterkstroom. He telegraphs that the Boers are demoral- ized, but adds that they have been treating the British wounded splendidly.

FOR PAcIFIC CABLE.
favorable Report Ordered by House
 Committee on Com mcrce.

Washington, March 6.-The house. committee of commerce to-day ordered
 favorable report on the bill for al. Pacific cable connecting this country
 with Hawaii, the Philippines and
 Japan. The bill of Representative
 sherman of New York Is the one fav- orably acted on, with a number of amendments. This bill provides for private construction of the. line, the government paying $3O0,OOO annually for twenty years for the transmission of messages. The amount of this ar- nual payment was the last question de- .cided. The original provision was $400,O00, but after extended discussion the reduction to S300,C0O was made. The committee had previously inserted a clause that the cable be of American make and that the cable ships be un- der the American flag. Another pros vision calls for the completion of the line to Honolulu by January l, 1902. and to Japan by January, 1903. It was originally estimated that the cost of the cable would be ss,O00,000, but recent estimates submitted to the committea show that the rise in prices of material will make the cost about $13,O0O, 900. The. government obligation, however, is confined to the annual payment of $3o00O0.
