Even when speed has been developed gradu-

enced driver In crowded city streets he is likely
to find himself in a "buttonhole' as bicyclers
call it-a pocket from which there is no escape
without running up the sidewalk.
Again until one has acquired a little practice
he is almost sure to apply his brake too impetu
ousIy and often with startling results When

twenty miles an hour is stopped abruptly inside

Another thing some times happens when brakes
are applied too vigorously. The wheels will stop
rotating but the momentum of the vehicle will
carry it forward over the pavement neverthe-

The sliding of wheels when brakes are put on
too vigorously is a phenomenon with which the
locomotive engineer soon becomes acquainted.

JOINT NOTES SIGNED.
France Opposes Finishing Negotia-
lions in Washington.


Paris, Jan. 10.-The Associated Press
gives the following statement in regard
to the Chinese situation;
''The Chinese pIenipotentiaries signed
the joint note yesterday, thus conclud-
ing the preliminary stage of the nego-
tiations."
The United States proposal to shift
the seat of the negotiations finds no IA
vor in the European chancellories.
Three reasons are given for this oppos-
ition:
First-It is considered a great mis-
take to transfer the negotiations <fOm
China, where all the information is at
hand respecting the situation, and the
feeling among the Chinese themselves
and more especially regarding the
conditions of trade and commerce
which viii be chiefly concerned.
SecOnd-The United States commerce
with China Is comparatively small
when compared with that of several
other countries. Therefore the United
States is not entitled to expect the ne
gotiations to be carried on at Washing
ton
The third and most delicate reason
advanced is that the European powers
have not felt sufficient confidence that
the United States government might
not find itself Influenced in the negOtla-
lions at Washington by the pressure Of
interests having an eye to the eXploita-
ton of China.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. Ex-senator
PlUnkitt Of Manhattan has introduced
in the senate a bill to punish kidnapping

fixing the limit of imprisonment for

Senator Plunkitt said he had facts
in his possession concerning the alb

had never been published. He said:
The abductOrs OF Charlie Ross were
New York river thieves, MOsher- and
his companion. The wagon in which
Ross was carried away was hired in
New York by MOsher and driven TO
Philadelphia so as to prevent any pos
sible discovery Of the offenders. The
wagon was driven about thirty miles
out of Philadelphia and was there

finally, to prevent detection. Charlie

make coming to the surface impossible.
The New Yorker who let the horse

Dr. Reed says the experiments show
beyond a doubt that there is no c0nta-

of the disease. In the course Of the
commissions investigation six nOn-im-

the bite of a mosquito which had pre-
viously bit ten yellow fever patients
and five of these developed infection.
The last experiment made proved
