The connection between anarchy and BIZ
cycles Is not at once apparent, but our
ConstantinopIe correspondent tells us to-
day that the thoughtful Ministers of his
imperial and at present somewhat per-
turbed majesty the Sultan have worked it
out to their own satisfaction, and have
prohibited racing in the capital. The
changeless East has taken rather kindly to
the wheel. Even in China the foreign
devil" who goes out on machine is no
longer liable to be stoned TO death by an
infuriated mob or hauled before the local
taotai on a charge of offending the gods
with his blasphemcus inventions. AT least
one Englishman has ridden right across
the Celestial Kingdom without coming to
any harm and Chinese gentlemen have
been known to convert their yoluminOuS
skirts into "rationais,' and themselves be-
stride the steed of steel.
A demand, 1t appears from a consular

really indulgent pacha, who has a suf-
ficiently secluded garden, would deny his
wives and daughters the amusement.
Such being the case, the proprietor of the
Pera Palace Hotel. having taken a lease
of the Municipal Gardens, was justified in
concluding that a series OF Sunday bicycle
races would attract the public. The con-
tests were held, three OF them, and Stam-
boul poured out its motley multitude to
see the show. Mussulman and Christian,
Greek, Jew, and Armenian paid their en-

The cyclists scorched; the multitude

the Palace Hotel secured legitimate gate
money. But he had reckoned without the
vigilance of the Porte and the fears Of
the Sultan. Crowds are not welcome in
the neighborhood of the Padishah's sa-
cred person. When number OF people
are gathered together 1t becomes a riot,
and they make u easier for the Caliph's
loyal subjects to conspre together, and
perhaps to arrange attempts against
their sovereign's life. This feeling on
the part of the Turkish authorities has
acquired fresh energy since the murder
of King Humbert, SO that they are now
living in a fever of suspicion lest some
Anarchist or Armenian plot should be at
tempted against the life Of Abdul Hamid.

A BAD PRESIDENT
USURPER THREW LEGAL PRESI-
DENT INTO PRISON.
OUT FALSE CREDENTIALS.
Colombian Affairs Still in a Muddle-
Usurper Assumes to Be
Dictator.

New York. September 6.-Benito Zal-
amea, United States vice consul general
at Bogota, reached the city last night
with dispatches to Secretary Hay from
Charles Burdett Hart, the minister to
Colombia. Mr.. Zalamea brought news
of the real state OF affairs in the u
try, which had been concealed by orders
of the usurping president.
Some time ago news was received that
President San Clemente had resigned
and thai Vice President Marroguin a
legally succeeded him. This news was
sent by cable by Marroguin to the CO.
lombian representatives all over the
world, with instructions to transmit 1t
to the heads of the various govern
ments The latter We're suspicious OF
Marroguin and delayed recognizing him.
Minister Hart was asked to send fuller
information to Washington. 1t now ap.
pears that Marroguin did not peacefully
succeed San Clemente, but seized hirS.
together with General Palacio, The Sec
rotary of state, and put them in prison
at Villeta. The actual coup d'etat took
place on July 81 at midnight.
The present state of affairs is an out
come of the contest that for the last ten
months has been fought by the conser-
natives against the liberals or revolu-
tionists. When this contest was prac-
tically ended the historical wing of the
conservatives broke away from the nat
uralistic wing in an attempt to get the
upper hand in the government. The
historical wing, under M~arroguin, de-
cided upon the cup d'etat.
Mr.. Zalamea saw President San Glenn
ente in the prison at Villeta. The presi-
lent told him that he would not give in
or recognize the new order of things.
He was impatient for the true state of
affairs to be made known Since as
Stunning power Marroguin has overridden
the constitution, the laws and every
thing else, conducting himself in a man
ner little short of that of a military
dictator. He has succeeded in keeping
the news of San Clemente's imprison-
ment from getting abroad up to the pres
ent time.
Several of the governors of the diff
ferent states and other agents of the
legitimate government have refused to
recognize M%arroguin," said Mr.. Zalan,ca.
They have taken the stand that San
Clemente, having been elected according
to the constitution. is the only legitimate
president. The supreme court, likewise.
has refused to recognize the new gov
ernment. The consejo de estaco (the
conseil d'etat. or cabinet) has taken the
same stand ward Marroguin. In fact.
there is a widespread opposition to him.
and it is not improbable hat h nat
uralist wing of the conservatives will
join forces with their old enemies, the
liberals, and endeavor to overthrow him.
Personally Marroguin is a pleasant man.

course of action by his party

and to see that their freedom of access
and exit, with their goods, is not unreas-
onably impeded."
This announcement from Mr.. Hay 10
the result of the petition to President
Mckinley from 40 American miners in
the Porcupine country. who complained
of being brought within the territory and
under the laws of the dominion of Can
ada, and especially protested against the
location of the boundary line along the
Klehini river. by which American miners
We're forced to enter British territory in
carrying supplies to their camps.
The reply of Secretary Hay discusses
the whole proposition at considerable
length. He assures the miners that the
modus vivendi is merely a temporary
proposition, to be ~abrogated without
prejudice to either party when a per-
manen settlement of the boundary dis
pute is decided upon: that in the mean
time the rights of all miners temporarily
brought within Canadian control will
be religiously protected, and that miners
desiring to carry goods through the dis
puted territory will be permitted to do
so without unjust Interference from the
Canadian customs officials.
