10 THE EVENING STAR. MONDAY, AUGUST 16, Paees SAGASTA ON THE CRISIS Liberal Leader Expects to Be Called to Re- Breach in the Conse He Talks of Cuba and the Attitude of America. In a special dispatch from Madrid to the Philadelphia Press Seror Sagasta, the leader of the liberal party in Spain, is quoted as saying: “In my opinion the present cabinet must continue 1n~ office until political difficulties, such as moy arise from the questions of Cuba and the Philippine Islands, show the necessity of a change of government. Unfortunately the division in the ranks of the conserva- tive party is so great and so dep that I really don't know who can preside per- manently. jarshal Martinez Campos, Senor Pedo, president of the congress, and Senor Elau- ayen, president of the senate, would make gcod premiers, but they have many ene- mies in their own party. I am afraid we shall soon be called to govern the country. It does not piease me much, but I am ready to take the respon- sikilities of power the moment her majesty calls to do so” Talking of Cuba and the United States, Senor Sagasta said: “The situation in Cuba is worse every day. It is a scandal. That the insurgents may have been able to loot a town like Marianao is a fact which proves that the central provinces are not pacified. f “Fortunately the interior and exterior ccmplications, such as the strikes and the Hawaiian question, which now afflict the United States, will contribute to smooth the relations of the American government with Spain. 2 “I have cause to believe that Mr. Wood- ferd, on his being appointed, received in- structions to exact from Spain the termf- nation of the war in Cuba in a very short time, taking as a pretext the harm suffer- ed by American interests and commerce. “But now he seems to come with a more peaceful spirit and with the wish to con- serve the friendly relations.” “If the liberals come into power at an rly date, what policy shall y "7 with regard to the United States’ claim: To this question Senor Sagasta answered “I skall only accept those that may be just, and I shall energetically reject those that are not, giving satisfaction to what is reasonable after due examination, ac- cerding to law and international rights. “I shall have all the more Strength to reject unjust claims in the questions with the United States. My purpose is to be energetic without weakness of any kind, and also without bombastic utterances which might lead us to an unjust rupture. “It shall be my greatest care to show Europe that reason and right are on cur side, and that if we go to waz it shall be on offense or provocation from the United States. “I am afraid the death of Senor Canov: will have some influence on Cuban affair: Possibly the rebels will feel the n«cessity of pursuing more actively the campaign, for fear that Spain may grant concessions, which would take away elements from the field.” Ss ——_—__+e+—___ TO FORM A BICYCLE TRUST. Negotiations on Foet to Consolidate Several Big Companies. A dispatch from New York says: If the statements made by men prominent in trade are correct, all doubts as to there be- ing a reorganization of the various bicycle ‘ranufacture under one board of directors in a few weeks have been revived. Some of the largest makers of wheels are now in England, where they went on business sev- eral weeks ago. Word has come by cable that as a result of their visit, two of the richest bicycle magnates of England are on their way here to look over the field ard report to others. At the board of trade cycle manufactur- ers it was admitted that the consolidation was on foot, and James Sullivan of the Spalding Company admitted that the re- perts were correct and that the negotia- tiems had been under way for several s. Everything had gone smoothly, he i vniess something unforeseen i'd oceur, the consolidation would be effected. The men who are arranging the reorganization, according to statements ot Mr. Sullivan and others, are Col. Albert Pcpe of the Pope Manufacturing Company, A. G. Spalding of Spaldimg Brothers, the jerican Welded Tube Company, Edward Warwick, H. A. Lozier of Cleveland, and several others, principally Englishmen, who are said to be E. B. Hooley, Martin Rucker and Albert Moore. — tee KLONDIKE CUSTOMS CHARG The British Charge d’Affaires Makes Official Report on the Subject. In response to inquiry on the subject, Mr. Adams, the British charge d'affaires, in the absence of Sir Julian Pauncefote, has telegraphed the Secretary of State from Manchester, Mass. that Canadian customs charges on miners’ outfits for the Klondike gold fields, arriving from Dyea, Alaska, and other points, are those au- thorized by ordinary revenue law of Can- ada. He says that no special or unusual regulations were made for the occasion. On the contrary, he says, the instructions were to exempt mine blankets, personal clothing in use and broken packages of provisions being used: also cooking uten- is in use. “To make food allowance clear,” he says “instructions have been ziven for the season to customs officers at Tagish to exempt 100 pounds of food for journey, charging ordinary customs duty only on excess.” —s WILL ADDRESS THE VETERANS. Fresident McKinley Wt Attend Army of the Potomac Reunion. ‘The twenty-eighth annual meeting of the Army of the Potomac, to be held in Troy, Y., next Friday and Saturday, will be an event of more than usual importance because of the presence of President Mc- Kinley, Vice President Hobart and Gov- ernor Frank 8. Black. The list of organi- ions which will participate in the parade indicates that there will be more than 3,000 men in Hne. Elaborate preparations are being made for the decoration of the buildings of the city, and the streets will doubtless present @ brilliant appearance with the array of flags, bunting and streamers. ‘The President's party will arrive in Troy from Bluff Point on Friday morning,. and the program 1s as follows: t Friday morning—Meetings of the various army corps. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the parade will take place, and at 5 o'clock a business meeting will be held in the city hall. Pub- lic exercises will be held at Music Hall in the evening at 8 o'clock, at which time addresses of welcome will be delivered by Governor Black and Mayor Molloy, and the president of the society, Gen. William W. Henry, will respond. An oration will be delivered by Major C. A. Woodruff, U. S. A. President McKinley will also be one of the speakers of the evening. Yesterday morning President McKinley, Vice Presdent and Mrs. Hobart and Mrs. Alger attended services in the Episcopal Churenh at Plattsburg. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. George F. Breed ff Brooktyn, and was on the subject of ‘onscience.”” After the services the party returned to the hotel, and about 2 o'clock, shortly after they had entered the public dining room, a severe thunder storm came up. They had hardiy taken their seats when there was a vivid flash of lightning, and a small sized — followed, many of the guests think- ~ the bolt had struck the house. The next instant there was a loud crash, and the largest pine tree in the grove ining, and not forty rods from the hotel, fell to the ground, shattered from root to branch by the bolt. This was all the damage done on the hotel grounds, although the storm continued for over an hour. . —ser—____ Proposals for Gun Carriages. ‘The ordnance bureau of the War Depart- ment has received eight proposals for the construction of disappearing gun carriages for use in the coast defenses. The lowest bid was that of the Bethlehem Iron Com- pany to furnish five carriages at $28,560 CARING FOR BICYCLES The Question Becoming a Serious Considera- tion in the Departments. One Official Says That Appropriations Can’t Be Used to Stable Them. The question of the stabling of bicycles is being vigorously agitated in the execu- tive departments and other public places and the discussion has resulted in’a serious controversy approaching a confilct of au- thority in the State, War and Navy De- partments building. The wheelmen em- ployed in those departments argue that the government should provide adequate factli- ties for the protection of their wheels dur- ing office hours. Most of the officials, while expressing willingness to provide proper protection, say that those benclited should defray the expense of the same. Under the existing system racks alone are pro- vided. They are arranged in the court yards, but as they are uncovered they af- ford no protection from the rain. A pe- tition is in circulation asking that sheds be erected for the special care of bicycles. This petition has received many signa- tures, from those who ride wheels to and from the office as well as from those who do not ride at all, but believe in the equity of the request. Positiofi of the Authorities. One of the officials adverse to the propo- sition that the expense of the proposed stabling should be borne by the govern- ment made the following statement of the pesition of the authorities on this ques- tion to a Star reporter todey: “The saving of time and of car fare to the clerk who uses the wheel is important; the saving of the same clerk's time to his employer is also important. But the num- ber of wheels has so increased that it is a question how and where to stable them conveniently. In wet weather they carry much mud into a building; in dry weather they carry dirt from the street, so that a coral of bicycles sometimes smells like a stable. The American and English !5n- cyclopedia of law (vol. 4, 2d ed.) says: ‘It is now well established either by judicial decision or by statute that in legal con- templation the bicycle is to be regarded as a carriage or vehicle. Particularly in relation to its use on the highways, the bicycle is entitled to the same privileges and subject to the same burdens as otner vehicles.’ : “In Hoiland vs. Bartch, 120 Ind., 46, the court says: “Although but few courts have passed on and defined the rights of persons riding up- on and propelling bicycles, yet such as have unanimousiy placed them upor an equality and governed by the same rule as persons riding or driving any other vehicle or carriage, ard we think this the proper Tule to adopt. Although the use of the bi- cycle for purposes of lecomoticn and travel is quite modern, yet it is a venicle of great conventence, ard its use is becoming quite common. While traveling upen the high- ways by means of korses has been in vogue much longer, and is much more universal at present than by means of bicycles, yet persons traveling by means of horses have no superior rights to those traveling upon the highways by improved methods of travel, which are adapted to and consistent with the proper use of the highway.’ “It anpears, then, that the great legal a.- thorities compare the rights of cyclists with those of drivers of horses, as to rights, but by no means with the rights of pedes- trians. “The modern wheel is made to stand the inclemencies of the weather quite as much as a buggy or a brougham. “On Saturday there is a man who makes % busiress of checking wheels near the ground: while the riders go inside the Pres- ident’s gardens to hear the music. At the theaters there is a man to check the wheels. In sore of the departments a lim- ited number of wheels are stacked in the corridors, while in otners provision is made for them under sheds or in court yards. Can't Use Appropriations. “The appropriations are sc made that they cannot be used for the care or protec- tien of a clerk's wheel any more than for his carriage. The clerks in some of the departments have paid (by subscription) for the erection of sheds for covering their wheels, and, by a small monthiy contribu- tion, employ a man to clean and oil their Wheels. While this comes lightly on each individual rider, it aggregates enough to pay a msn to care for the wheels. About one-tenth of the government clerks are now wheelmen, and the number is increas- ing. ar future I predict there will be bieycle stables near public buildings which will do a lucrative business.” —e- AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOW: Unusually Large Number of Arrests in Past Two Days. The police of this precinct were unusually lusy Saturday and Sunday, and during the two days the total number of arrests made Was thirty-three.. Most of the charges were for petty offenses, and a small portion were for plain “drunk. John Benton, a white man, walked into the station yesterday to see James Riley, who was locked up on a charge of habitual drinking. Benton made a strong plea to see the man, and was finally allowed to go into the cell corridor and converse with his friend, in company with Policeman Conlon. Mickey Hicks, another man in the same cell, was charged with the same offense as Riley. When passing out Benton was caught trying to smuggle a bottle of whis- ky to Riley. There was a struggle, in which a good deal of the stuff was wasted, but the policeman finally got the bottle and took it and Benton out in the front room, where the man was locked up on a charge of disorderly conduct. Benton spent all night in a cell and rode to the Police Court in the Maria this morning, where Prosecuting Attorney Pugh entered a nolle prosse in the case. Policeman Bradley of the county mounted force arrested Charles Jugens, a baker, Saturday evening on the Conduit road. The prisoner was charged with fast riding, and also with failing to have a light on his bi- cycle. He was released on $15 collateral. The same policeman also arrested John Dramion, twenty-one years of age, for fast driving on the road. The work of improving the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church commenced this morning, with a large number of workmen employed. The seats and chairs have all been removed from the interior, and the building made ready for the change. It is expected that the proposed improvements will be completed by the end of this year, and that the church will be ready for oc- cupancy by Christmas. The services yes- terday were held in Linthicum Hail, and were well attended, the pastor, Rev. J. B. Stitt, preaching an excellent sermon. Serv- ices will be held tn the halt until the com- Fletion of the church improvements. The services yesterday morning at Eben- ever A. M. E. Church tent were well at- tended. Rev. J. J. Evans delivered a good sermon, his text being taken from the sec- ond chapter of Moses, ninth verse. Rev. Mr. Christmas preached in the afternoon from the tenth verse of the second chapter of Revelations, and at night Rev. Dr. Moore delivered a discourse, his text being’ the 19th-28th verses, 18th chapter of Acts. The rain of the evening kept a good many away, but still there was a good crowd. The celebration of the third anniversary of the institution of the local state council of the Junior Order of American Mechanics will be held tomorrow evening at the am- phitheater at Glen Echo. The arrangements for the same have all been completed. Each visitor will be presented with a beau- tiful souvenir program. A chorus of forty boys and girls will sing patriotic airs, and music will be fvrnished by Prof. tor band. Addresses will be made by a ‘num- ber of prominent members of the order. There was quite a scare yesterday after- noon about 2:30 o'clock at the residence of Mr. Alfred Kreig of 3136 P street. A gas- oline stove exploded, and the inmates thought the house would burn up. The blaze was extinguished by Edward Esinger and no damage resulted. 5 ——-_—_ Policeman Shipley Fined, Policeman Shipley, who pleaded guilty Saturday to charges preferred against him, growing out cf his recent escapade while under the influence of liquor, as published in The Star at the time, was fined $50. The fine was imposed and not sentence of dismissal, in consideration of his previous good character and promise not to repeat the offense.

Count of Turin Gets Satisfaction From Henry of Orleans, The French Prince Receives a Dan- serous Thrust in the Abdomen— Encounter Yesterday Mornin: ‘A Paris dispatch dated August 15 says: ‘The Count of Turin and Prince Henri of Orleans fought a duel with swords at 5 o'clock this morning in the Bois de Mare- chaux Vacresson. M. Leontieff acted as umpire. The fighting was most determined and lasted twenty-six minutes. There were five engagements, of which two were at close quarters. Prince Henri received two serious wounds, one in the right shoulder and another in the right side of the abdomen. The Count of Turin was wounded in the right hand. Prince Henri was taken to the residence of the Duc de Chartres, &nd received medi- cal attendance. The condition of Prince Henri of Orleans is as satisfactory this evening as could be expected. The doctors, after consultation, have expressed the opinion that no Import- ant organ was touched, but absolute rest is necessary for recovery. Owing to rumors at Naples and else- where, the public had not expected the duel to come off. It was, therefore, quite pri- vate. The official account, furnished by the seconds, recites fully the circumstances leading up to the encounter: History of the Encounter. ‘The Count of Turin, considering the let- ters of Prince Henri of Orleans to the Figaro offensive to the Italian army, wrote to him on July 6, demanding a retraction. This letter could not be answered until August 11, the day of the arrival of Prince Henri in France. The prince ceplied to the count’s demand by telegram, maintain- ing the right of a traveler to record his experiences. The official account ther describes the arrangements for the duel, gives the names of the respective seconds, and says that at their first interview they agreed that the encounter was inevitable. By common ac- cord the conditions were settled as follow The weapon to be the dueling sword; each combatant: to” use that of his own country, but the blades to be of equai length,. either combatant to be at liberty to maintain the grcund he gains, and each to be allowed the space of fifteen meters within which to advance or retire; each assault to continue four minutes; the com- bat to be resumed in the positions occu- pied and only to terminaie on the decision of the four seconds-or the advice of tne doctor, when one of the adversaries ts mant- festly in a state of inferiority; the conduct of the meeting to be in:rusted alternately to the two parties, lots being drawn at A Pittsburg - Press says: With every ‘mill and furnace in opera- tion, this city is among the first to feel the und swell of returning prosperity. The tidal wave is expected next spring. “There is not a mill in Pittsburg that is not running,” said Willis L. King, gen- eral sales agent for Jones & McLaughlin. “The big plants, such as the Carnegie com- pany, Sckoenberger’s, the Black Diamond steel works and ourselves, are running double turn. When the volume of business Teaches a certain point prices will ad- vance.” as Francis J. Torrance, treasurer of the Standard Manufacturing-Company of Al- lJegheny, announced that the plant would start on double turn today, giving work to the full force of 500 men, which will be in- creased by sixty. The company is erecting @ new warehouse owing to the business spurt. All mills in lower Allegheny will run more fully today than they have for some time. The Schoen Manufacturing Company and the Baker chain works are running double turn. Mr. Torrance attributes the revival di- rectly to the Dingley tariff. He says all desirable houses in lower Allegheny, which is the manufacturing district of that city, are occupied. The window glass factories of the coun- try will probably resume early in Septem- ber, to accumulate stocks for the antici- pated rush next year in the building sea- son. The wage conference will be ueld at Cleveland next Saturday. The workers will probably secure an advance, owing to the increase in the window glass tariff. They stood a heavy cut under the Wilson bill. There is little window glass in stock at_present. There is considerable blast furnace ac- tivity, with a corresponding increase of vork In the coke regions. The H. C. Frick Coke Company is preparing for a vig run during the fall and winter.

The process-verbal then proceeds to de- scribe the encounter. It says that in the first assault Prince Henri was hit in the right breast, though the we»pon did not penetrate beyond the subcutaneous celluiar tissue. On the strength of the report of the doctors the seconds deciled that the com- bat must go on. The second assault was stopped because the combatants came into close quar In the third assault the Count of ‘Turin was hit in the back of the right hand, but the weapon did not penetrate beyond the subcutaneous cellular tissue.

If the masses will not come to church, added the minister, then give them musical enter- tainments, instructive lectures on subje of special interest, social features nd amusements. But in’ reality the drawing power is in Christ himself. To draw men to Christ, not music nor entertainments. but the love of One who died for them is the ruling factor. Rev. Dr. D. H. St®wart, one of the best- known ministers of Arkansas City, Kan., was one of the speakers yesterday at the Fourth Presbyterian Church. His sermon was short, concise and pointed, the theme being the certainty of the Christian's faith, Rev. Mr. Stewart closed his remarks with an quent appeal to Christians to con- tinue true to their beliefs in the church and never to swerve frcm what they coi sider their Christian duty, thus defying the onslaughts of ungodly and unbelieving per- sons. The men’s meeting yesterday afternoon, wader the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, was addressed by Rev. W. H. Chapman, who spoke concern- ing the Divine qualities, justice and mercy. He dwelt particularly upon justice, both to one’s self and to one’s neighbor. The Lord’s prayer, added the speaker, breathes the soul of justice and mercy, and it should be lived up to by every man. Mercy to others is always a great blessing, he said. Conquer by kindness, have mercy and cul- tivate it. Religion should be united, for then sin would be repelled, declared Rev. C. H.

A special to the New York Journal from Madrid says: Now all France watches by the bedside of Prince Henri, while all Italy applauds the Count of Turin. The real victory, however, is everywhere regarded as belonging to Prince Henri, and the duel is likely to have far-reaching con- sequences. He was playing to an immense audience, He is a pretender to the throne of France, and the fight that occurred to- day was a direct outgrowth of his schem- ing. He now announces that he aims at the foundation of an equatorial empire. He has caught the eye of France. By this one dramatic act he has attained amazing popularity among the French people, ever fond of theatrical effects, The announcements coming from his bedside consist of patriotic utterances mixed with statements of an alleged desire to extend the glory of France. It is now admitted on the boulevards that what the prince ts aiming at is pre- elsely that accomplished by Napoleon—the achievement of oriental glory as a pre- paration for the throne of France. The whole cause of the duel was his en- tering into an alliance with the King of Abyssinia, who whipped the Italians there last year. The affair has a decided Franco-Russian aspect.

Senator George of Mississippi died at 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon at Mississippi City, where he had gone for his heaith. Sergeant-at-Arms Bright of the Sena‘e received a dispatch Saturday night from Senator Walthall of Mississippi notifying him of the death of his colleague, and ask- ing that Vice President Hobart and Sena- tor-elect Money of Mississippi be notified. The sergeant-at-arms accordingly tele- graphed Mr. Hobart at Plattsburg, on Lake Champlain, where he is with the President. ‘The Vice President will determine whether a committee of senaters will be appointed to go to Mississippi, a duty somewhat diffi- cult at this season, with senators widely scattered and the place of funeral remoie. Senator George was not a native of Mi: sissippi, but had resided in that state since his eighth year. He was born in Monroe county, Ga., October 1826. After the death of his father, which occurred in the senator's early infancy, he removed with his mother, in 1834, to Noxubee county, Miss., remaining there for only two years, end then going to Czrroll county, where he taintained his legal residence until his death. Educated in Common Schools. Senator George cbtaired his education in the common schocls, and did not begin his professional carcer until after the close of the Mexican war, in which he served as a private in the regiment commanded by Jef- ferson Davis. Among other engagemenis in which he participated was the battle of Monterey. Ugon is return from Mexico Mr. George studied law, and was admitted to the bar at Carrollton, rising so rapidly ! in his profession that he was elected re- porter of the high court of errors and ap- peals in 1851, being re-elected to this posi- tion in 1860. He prepzred and publushed ten volumes of reports of de-isions of this court, and afterward prepared and pub- lished a digest of all the decisicns of the supreme and high court of errors of the state from the admission of the slate into the Union up to 1870. He was a member of the Mississippi con- vention of 1861 by which the ordinance of Secession was passed and voted for and signed that instrument. He afterward took an active and prominent part in the civil war, casting his lot with the south. He left the ccnvention hall to become a cap- tain in the 20th Regiment of the Mi: ippi volunteers. He rose to the rank of briga- dier general of state troops before the close of the war, also serving at a later colonel of the 5th Cavalry of his s! When the civil war clo: Mr. George re- turned to Carroll county, resuming the practice of his profession, and later enter- ing polities. In 1879 he was appointed io the supreme benck, and soon afterward elected chict justice, in which capacity he was serving his state when first elected to the Ser of the United States in 1sS1. He twice been re-elected to this important office, and if he had been permitted to serve his en- tlre term would on March 4, 1809, have completed bis eighteenth year in the Sen- ate. He had declined a re-election more than a year ago on account of his health, and H. D. Money has been chosen as his successor for the term beginning in 1800. Favorite in the Senate. Sena‘or George was well liked in the Senate, notwithstanding a rather brusque manner. Those who knew him realized fully that beneath the outward crust was hid- den a kindly and gentle disposition. He was also universally respected for his great erudition on legal and consiitutional ques tions. Probably there has been no man in the Senate during the present genera- tion who had made greater research inio constitutional questions or could discourse more profoundly upon the instrument of government. Very few constitutional ques- tions ever arose in the Senate that -he did not participate at length in their discu: sion, and he talked on comparatively tew other topics. Mr. George was ranking democratic member cf the committee on agriculture, and he served as the chair- man of that commitiee in the Fifty-third Congress, but he devoted more of his time to the affairs of the committee on the ju- diciary, of which he was a .nember, though holding a less prominent place there. He has taken especial interest in the prepara- tion of the substitute for the bankruptcy bill, providing for voluntary bankruptcy, and had been expected to participate ac- tively in the consideration of the bill in the Senate. Senator George's remains arrived at Jackson City, Miss., yesterday, and will lie in state in the rotunda of the capitol until this afternoon, when they will be taken to pera for interment by the side of his wife. An immense concourse of pzople met the body at the depot, and the funeral proces- sion marched to the capitol in the follow- ing order: Capitol Light Guards, Odd Fel- lows, the hearse, the governor and staff, Senator Walthall and all the state officers, ia were the pallbearers, and citizens gen- erally. ——~+e+____ GEN. MILES’ REPORT. His Observations on the Turkish Forces Sent to the President. General Miles has forwarded two prelim- inary reports of his observations of the Turkish forces during the Greck-Turkey war to the War Department, and these have been sent to the Secretary and Pres- ident at Lake Champlain. These reports will be followed by more exhaustive and detailed statements of what the American general has observed im Europe. One of these reports wiil cover the inspection of the British army. General Miles, it is said, will remain abroad until autumn. He wants to see the early autumn mancu- vers of the German army. At last reports he was in Russia, with good opportunity of studying the methods employed in that country. ——.-+—_____ MINISTER TO RUSSIA.
