PEDALING THE NEW WHEEL.
BY Emerson Clayton.

by 0H1J
It is quite probable that all of the
thousands Of riders who are using chain
less wheels have often puzzled their
brains to discover what 1t is that is so
fascinating about the new bicycle. They
have probably tried to determine how the
motion of this wheel differs from that
of a chain bicycle and, possibly. in every
instance they have been unable to find
a solution to the problem that has been
troubling them. In spite of this, how
ever, the fact remains that every one
who has ridden a chainless Wheel recog-
nizes that there is a difference in the pro-
pulsion, but it has seemed an almost Inn

OPENING OF COURT.

AS soon as court was opened Mr. Bu-
ford asked to have Rev. ]. II. Riddick
Mrs. Roane Ridd!ck and DR.. Devaney
summoned as witnesses. He said he
thought these witnesses would have re-
manned here after the defence was
through with them. but he had learned
that they had gone home. Mr.. Davis
said this was an unusual request. Mr.
and Mrs. Ridd!ck had been on the stand
and subjected to the most rigid cross
examination. Mr.. Riddick was on the
verge OF collapse when DR.. Lewis ad-
Nised him to go home. He left here
Saturday. Mrs. Riddlcl and her baby
were both threatened with fever, and
DIR. Lewis sent them to Petersburg for
treatment yesterday.
Mr.. Goode said nothing had developed

The pressure OF General French north

London. June 5.-At o'clock this at
ternoon, almost eight months after the
declaration of war, Lord Roberts en-
tered Pretoria. While the Commander
in-Chief of the greatest army Great
Britain ever put in the field was full
ming the promise he made TO the
Guards at Blocmfontein. TO lead them
into the capital OF the Transvaal, Eng
land was celebrating the event with
wild enthusiasm. Throughout the
length and breadth of the country the
news spread like wiid-tire. Based on
the recollection of recent Eurooean
wars, when the occupation of the en-
emy's capital s:gnified the end of hos
tiilues, Lord Roberts terse telegra M
was universally taken to mean the
practical finish OF the war which has
tried Great Briua!n's military resources
as they were never tried before. In

SPANISH CABINET OUT.
Quits as Result of appointment
of Weyler to Office.

Madrid, Oct. 22.-Senor Silvela, the
premier, had an audience with the
queen regent today and formally an
nounced the designations of Senior Gas
sett, minister of agriculture. and Senior
Daco, minister of the interior, together
with the designations of the high officials
in other departments, as a protest
against the appointment of GeenraI
Weyler as captain general of Madrid.
The cabinet council which followed
disclosed serious differences between the
members of the ministry, and the pre-
mier decided to place the question of
confidence in the cabinet before the
queen regent.
At o'clock last evening Senior Si1tela
went to the palace to tender the reSig-
nation of the entire cabinet
Subsequently the queen regent re-
ceived General Ascarraga, president of
the senate, whom she entrusted with the
formation of a new ministry
In spite of the ministerial crisis, of
which he is the cause, General Weyler
has taken up his duties of captain gen
eral Of Madrid. He is accused of anti
parliamentary intentions, and his ap-
pOintment, which was made by the min
lister of war, General LinareS, unknown
to the other ministers, is regarded by
them as tantamount to the abdicatiOn
of power by Senior Silvela, who thus

UNCLE SAM PUZZLED.
Not Certain What Stand to Take in
Chinese Situation.

New York, Oct. GA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Before the United States gives its ad-
herence to the Anglo-German agreement
the administration authorities purpose
to learn its exact meaning. The belief
is not concealed that the agreement is
the most significant of recent develop
ments in regard to China.
While the administration is highly
gratified with the first two articles of
the convention, reiterating as they do
declarations which have been the key
note of Secretary Hays policy from the
outset of the Chinese trouble, the third
article is regarded with suspicion which
is the more intense because of Germany
previous aggressive policy and the ac-
ton of Great Britain in landing troops
at Shanghai.
This article specifically declares that
ssthe two contracting parties reserve to
themselves the right to come to a pre-
liminary understanding regarding the
eventual step to be taken for the protec-
ton of their own interests in China
Before the president viii give assent
to any of the provisions of the instru-
ment he will ascertain the purpose and
scope of the third article. Prior to the
publication of this agreement, the be-
lief existed in diplomatic circles that an
understanding regarding China existed
between Russia and Germany. This is
now dispelled. 1t is plain that the one

power Germany and Great Britain had
in view in making the agreement was
Russia. In diplomatic circles it is
thought not unlikely that Russia Will
adhere to the agreement, and she will, in
all likelihood, live up to it strictly, In
order not to give either Germany or
Great Britain a pretext for breaking it.
The United States can. of course. be
depended upon not to make any move
to obtain territory, and Japan has re-
peatedly asserted that she would not
seek Chinese territory, unless other ma
tions do so. Italy and Austria, bowling
to the will Of Germany, will give early
adherence to the agreement
Notwithstanding the doubts Of the real
attitude of Germany and Great Britain
it is believed here that the course of the
United States will have an important
bearing upon the fate of China AS the
attitude of the American government is
identical with that of the car. the
United States and Russia together will
exert a powerful influence in preserving
the territorial integrity of China.

MEN WANT TO WORK.
Strike Leaders Will Not Listen Under
Existing Situation.

Pottsville, Pa, Oct. 22@The efforts of
the labor leaders in the Schuylkill re-
gion are being directed to keeping the
men in line.
President Mitchell is coming to Potts
vile tomorrow, when there will be a
monster demonstration of miners from
all over SchuyllxiH county. On this oc-
casion q speech is expected from him,
explaining his position on the powder
question, which now stands in the way
OF a settlement of the strike. Among
some of the miners the opinion is ex-
pressed that they should be allowed to
go to work, now that the Reading COM
pany has granted them the 10 per cent.
net increase asked for by the Scranton
convention, and they are getting powder
for $1.50 a key, but their leaders will
listen to nothing of the kind, because
they intend keeping the Schuyllxill men
out until the operators of the upper belt
submit. It is learned today that, even
should the strike be settled this week,
and all the collierieS resume, there will
not be much reduction in the price of
coal for the present, SO that the public
will have to largely bear the cost of the
strike.
Wilkesbarre, Oct. 22.-Most of the
companies have now posted the explain
atory note, as they call it, in addition to
their last offer to the strikers, and it
will probably not be replaced The
mining officials say they doubt if the
companies will go any further in their
negotiations with the men, as they have
granted them powder Tor @l-5O as Iney
asked and at increased wages, and they
do not intend to change, as the strik-
ers have altered the demands.
The indications are that if President
Mitchell calls the convention for this
week, as expected, the delegates will be
instructed to vote for a settlement of
the strike on the terms proposed by the
operators. They are all anxious to get
back to work, and the time is rapidly APP
preaching when they will either have to
work or starve. There is no prospect
of the union giving them any aid. The
promise of Mitchell to begin the distri-
button of food and money last Wednes-
day has not been kept and the local
unions are unable to provide for all
those who apply for aid. Many of the
men who have the money to buy tick
cts are leaving for the soft coal regions
being tired of waiting for the strike
to end, the average being about 70 a day
from this district alone. Many more
are going this week, according to re-
ports, and will send for their families
as soon as they can. The charitable so
cities have received a large number Of
requests for aid and the United Chart
ties society yesterday made a special
appeal for children's clothing and shoes,
mostly for children of destitute strikers.
