CYCLING NOTES.

The bicycle tax in France last year
was collected on S3S 856 wheels.
One firm has turned out n converti-

or without motor.
Forty miles in an hour on a bicycle
Is a record made at Brockton, Mass.
by viii G. Stinson.
Little has been said so far by manu-
facturers of bicycles as to the output
price and models for next season.
Some people are of the opinion that
the ideal bicycle has been made, and
that material Improvements are out Of
the question.
Z The agents of the olcyclo manufac
turers returning from long trips over
the country report that trade is good
along the line.
One manufactures has already an.
nOunced his prices for next season
His chainless wheel will retail at $50,
the racer at $50, light roadster at $40,
and ordinary roadster at $50.
Jimmy Michael the cycler has de.
feated Eddie McDuffee It Chicago. Be-
sides riding all around his old enemy,
Jimmy broke five records. The broken
records were those made by Johnny
Nelson for the second, third, fourth,
fifth and sixth miles.
Probably the majority of makers will
strive to reduce the weight Of their
wheels for next year. Many of the
makers, however, are giving more at
tention at this time to The perfection
of their motor tricyClcs than they are
to the regulation bicycle.

Lord Roberts Reports Surrender of the
Thirteenth Regiment.
LONDON, June 6.-Following is the
text of the dispatch from Lord Roberts
announcing the disaster to the Thir-
tenth battalion of the 1mpe,i Yeo-
many, which numbered between 400
and 500 officers and men:
Pretoria Station, June 81 regret
to report that the Thirteenth Imperial
Yeomanry had to surrender to a very
superior force of the enemy, on May
81, near Lindley. On receiving infor-
nation of the battalion being attacked,
| ordered Methuen TO proceed with all
speed to it's assistance.
"Methuen was then on the march, on
the Heilbron side of Kroonstad, and,
half an hour after the receipt of my
telegram on June 1, he started off. BY
10 a. m. of the following day he had
marched forty-four miles in twenty
five hours, but he was too late to res
cue Colonel Sprague's yeomanry.
"Methuen attacked the Beers. who
were between 1000 and 5000 strong,
and after running fight of five hours
completely routed the enemy.
SIT is a very regrettable circum-
stance; but l trust it will not be very
long before the Irish yeomanry are re-
leased from captivity

Words with which He Declared The
House Adjourned.

hOubO AuJOuTneOs
WASHINGTON, June 9.-In the fol-
lowing little speech Speaker Hender-
son declared the house adjourned sine
die.
Gentlemen of the House of Repre-
sentatives: We will in few moments
have completed our sessions work.
1t has been a session of earnest, patri-
house has demonstrated that men NAV
meet on great fields of contest and
part as friends. This body has CON
sidered many great. novel national
questions. That ferver which en-
tiers into debate on the eve of great
national conflict has been presents;
but, guided by intelligence and manly
courage.
Sat the opening of this session /
took the chair with that fear and APP
prehension which every conscientious
man should feel. | appealed to you
for support and kindly aid. Not for
one moment have you forgotten that
appeal, but your sustaining influence
has made it possible to consider these
mighty problems of the hour and new
er allowed the legislator and the gen
tleman to sink below the high level of
manhood.
'In parting, 1 wish you from my
heart pleasant vacation and that
you may all return to the duties of
the next session, refreshed in body
and in mind.
"And, now, in pursuance of the con-
current resolution adopted by the two
houses of congress, l declare this SEES
sion adjourned without day."

CHANGES IN rsuNG-L1-YAMEN.
Prince Ching Superseded by suppo,
ter of the Boxers

Prince Ching Superseded by Supper
ter of the Boxers.
LONDON, June 1a.-The Picking corr
respondent of the Times, telegraphing
yesterday says:
Changes have been made in the
tsung-li-yamen. One Chinese has
been retired and four Manchas. rigidly
conservative, have been appointed.
Prince Ching, the only member with a
knowledge of foreign affairs, has been
superseded by Prince Tuan, a power
full supporter of the Boxer brother
hood"
The Times commenting upon the re-
organization of the tsung-li-yamen,
considers its significance unmistal1-
able. and says:
"1t means that the empress dowa-
ger has finally thrown off the mask
and has resolved to stake everything
on her anti-forelgn policy. Prince
Tuan is a creature of the empress.
who is known to be one of the chief
patrons of the Boxers and a represen-
tative of the most reactionary party
in China"

CAN'T SAVE FOREIGNERS
Chinese Viceroy Declares That He
Is Powerless.

LONDON, June 1.-THE situation in
China appears distinctly graver. The
destruction of a Russian chapel at
lung Tingan has provided Russia
with the desired pretext to land more
troops.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg that
the government is resolved, if the
dangerous situation in China con-
tinues, to take immediate military
action to repress the anti-foreign
movement, may be regarded as semi
official utterance, meaning that if
there is any hesitancy on the part of
the powers Russia will act alone.
All reports agree that the Boxer
movement is spreading. The report is
confirmed that the French agents at
Mong Use and Yu Nan Flu have been
compelled to retire, and this shows
that the ferment has reached south
western China and has provoked
France into taking active steps.
Sir CLAUDE Macdonald, British min
lister at Peking, has wired the British
consul at Shanghai confirming the re-
ported outrages and the fact that the
throne and government have been act
uated by secret sympathy with the
Boxer movement, which the govern
ment has ample power to suppress lift
50 desired- His dispatch however, is
in no way of an alarmist nature.
The latest Tien Tsin dispatch saying
that the dowager empress has appoint
ed anti-foreign generals with the pre-
tended mission to suppress the Boxers,
makes it impossible to doubt that the
time has arrived for energetic action.
