Nov. 21. ( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) Tbo twentieth annual Stanley cycle show , one of the two great London cycle exhibitions , was opcued yesterday at Inlington by the earl of War wick , who is largely Interested In this In dustry as the chairman of two companies. The show Is the blgge-st ever held , com prising 350 exhibitors and 2,500 ma chines of all types. The United States trade 1s represented by several leading manufacturers , whose exhibits are attract- _ _ _ TnfT qulU ; as much admiration as those of the best English makers. The American ma chines , being more nearly adapted to the English Ideas , and having withstood the teat of the English climate and roads , which were declared to bo fatal to such light ma chines with wood rims , the English makers are more than ever anxious about the re- - § , / suits of the competition. ) I was apeaklng at the show today to a representative of the Rudge-Whltworth Cycle company , a prominent Coventry firm , who Bald on the subject of American competition : "I admit the American manufacturers are turning out fine machines , but as long as th y click to tubelcas tires and wood rims , and oacrlflco soundness to lightness , we fear nothing from them. I don't believe we shall have as many American cycles sent over hero next year as has been fancied , for the simple reason that the revival of trade nnd the circulation of money In the United Statca will cause the absorption of their output at home. " SOME OLD WHEELS. The wish evidently was father to the thought. No striking change In construc tion is observable In next year's English patterns , which are always first seen at the Stanley show. Improvements In brakes and saddles are the chief novelties. A new- hand brake on tbe driving hub , exhibited by Humbert & Co. , Is much approved. The Enfield company is exploiting another new brake , which Ic applied automatically to the chain wheel when the rider back-pedals. In saddles a new adoption of the bifurcated variety Is the rage. Three new types of chalnlees bicycles are exhibited , two French and one American. No English maker has yet taken up Jhls Idea. English riders assert that the bevel geared machine has not been yet Invented which does , not bind when sprinting or riding up hill. A "new material for cycle construction , called Kronand metal. Is also much can vassed. It Is white metal throughout , takes a flno silvery polish and the Inventor claims I that while It cannot rust it Is 25 per cent jy stronger than steel and 9 per cent less weighty for the same substance. Tbe motor tricycle exhibits are few in number and thought to be too heavy and unreliable for practical purposes at the pres ent stage of development. The show , which lasts a week , Is thronged by fashionable LenS - S don , whereas three years ago It was patron- V Ized by none but middle and artisan classes. - * CONSUELO MAKES A HIT. The prlnco and princess of Wales leave London Monday on their visit to the duke and duchess of Marlborough at Blenheim palace. U is noted that tbe party invited to meet them doea not include either Lauy Rcresford , the former duchtes , or her hus band. The > oung duchess has made a de cided bit In English society , her manner and ctylo being alike spoken of with admiration. She discharges her duties as hostess at these largo parties with great agreeableness and an aplomb rarely or never found In English society women of the same age. Shortly after tbo Dlenhelm party the duke and duch- cf are going to Melton Mowbray for two months , where the duke , who Is an cnthu- nlasttc huntsman , will follow the Quern hounds. The duchess cannot hunt this season. I hear from a friend of A. D. Clarke , the former owLer of the yacht Satanlta , that between the compensation bo must pay Dun- raven for sinking Valkyrlo II and the costs of litigation ho will lese 22,000 ( WO- 000) ) . A remarkable feature of this litiga tion has been that the court of admiralty , a tribunal of experts , unhesitatingly gave a decision against Dunraven. whereas the court of appeals and the House of Lords , consisting of judges not one of whom has the slightest special knowledge of nautical affairs , gave a decision with still less hesi tation against Mr. Clarke. Mr. Clarke Is a man of wealth and can pay the damages and costs without feeling It. Ho fought tbo cose , solely because of his personal dislike of Dunraven , who is commonly supposed to have bc n Instrumental in preventing his election to the Royal Yacht squadron. IN THE CASE OP IVORY. Ivory , the alleged dynamiter , Is to be de fended on trial by Edward Carson. Q. C. , who flrut came Into notice as Arthur Hal- four's most trusted instrument in carrying out the coercion regime In Ireland. Mr. Carton , who represents Trinity College , Dub lin , In Parliament , began practice at the English bar only two or thrco jeara ago , and with unexampled rapidity baa attained the foremost rank in criminal cases. Hav ing been notorious fop his fierce anti-nation alist opinions and speeches , his selection to defend Ivory has caused considerable surprise prise- , although In auch a case , a lawyer never permits bis political predilections to Inter fere with his professional duties. The greit sensation of tbo trial will be the t cross-examination of tbo spy , Jones , who Is . ? = id to have made a tour through Ireland In the past few weeks seeking out reputed ex tremists and endeavoring to Inveigle them ' into a dynamite conspiracy. The statement } positively made In the Dublin Fret-man' * Journal that wltnc i-s will be products ! to wrar that Jones offered them dynamite tombs to carry out outrages. Jones Is kept In strict secluilon by Scotland Yard , and U said to bo o terrified by the pwslblllty of a. terrible revenge being wreaked upon him by his dupes that he has to bo carefully watched to prsrent him from seeking safety In flight before trial.

A special to the Herald from Washington says : Appreciat ing that the return of Genera ! Wcylcr from the present campaign without making any headway against Macco's forces will greatly aggravate the already critical situation In Cuba , . officials and diplomats In Washing ton have been earnestly discussing for some days various plans for relieving the situ ation. The question of a Spanish-Cuban armlstlco has been widely discussed. Ifthe condi tions will admit there Is every reason to believe the administration will exercise Its good offices to bring about an armistice in the event that affairs become more critical because of an unsuccessful campaign against Maceo. It Is understood that one form of peace ful Intervention which Consul General Lee has proposed to the authorities hero con templates the use of the good offices of the United States to bring about a modus vIvoLdl for a sufficient time to enable nego tiations to be conducted for securing the Independence of Cuba by purchase , the United States guaranteeing the payment. General Lee has not advised the Immedi ate adoption of this plan , believing there would have to be a change In the situation before It could be put Into practical effect.

The government , un less the signs of the times fall , will soon have to deal with a virulent outbreak of protection fever among Its own followers. That the rank and file of the unionist party has been growing more and more protec tionist has been evidenced many times re cently , but especially significant was the unanimous decision of th'e tory caucus sit ting at Rochedale during the week to favor relmposlng a registration duty of 1 shilling (25 ( cents ) on corn. Great efforts will be made to Induce the chancellor of the ex chequer to Include this proposal It. the budget of 1S97 and , while Sir Michael Hicks- Beach Is believed to be a free trader , such a chance to swell the receipts by a couple of million pounds sterling ( $10,000,000) ) Is a great temptation. The Pacific coble conference , In session during the week at the colonial office , has made fair progress with the mass of tech nical evidence before It , mainly referring to tbo cost of the cables and yearly cost of maintaining them in operation. So soon as this Is threshed out the more Important evidence will be taken whether enough commercial traffic will accrue to bring the annual cost , to the guaranteeing govern ments , within a reasonable sum. The tak ing of evidence Is expected to last a month , a discussion will probably last another month and the report will most likely be made In January. Sir Charles Tupper , who Is now In Lon- doa. In an Interview yesterday said : "My visit here Is purely private , but I notice on all sides a great interest in Canadian matters. The prospects of trade were never so good. The election of McKinley meant much for Canada , has given her renewed confidence and will establish more trade with her nearby neighbor. There Is great interest In London in Canadian mining pros pects and a general inclination upon the part of capitalists to Invest in Canada. " HIGH PRICE FOn A MEDAL. Numismatists have been greatly Inter ested this week in the sale at auction of the remarkable collection of coins known as the Montague collection , including the famous Juxon medal , presented by Charles I to Bishop Juxon on the scaffold just be fore the former's execution. The bidding for this relic was of the liveliest descrip tion and it was finally sold for 770 ( J3.S30) ) , said to be the highest price ever paid for a coin. Several others realized 200 ( $1,000) to 400 ( { 2,000) ) . Another example of a high price reached at auction was on Tuesday last , when an old Venetian rose-pointed flounce , under four yards long and four teen Inches wide , was sold for 217 ( $1,233) . The boom In shipbuilding continues. Dur ing tbo present month orders for 55,000 tons were placed In the Clyde alone. The amount of work Is unprecedented In the annals of shipbuilding. Mr. H.

The four-masted ship California , the last of tbo White Star line sailing fleet , was sold at auction in Liverpool on Thursday last and was purchased by a German firm. The estate of the late George du Maurler is valued at 47,380 ( J236.000) ) . It is all left to his widow , with a reversion to their children.

( Copyright , ISM , by the Associated Trets. ) LONDON , Nov. 21. The situation in India causes the gravest concern. Lord George Hamilton , secretary for India , In what the newspapers declare to be a remarkable speech , has admitted that 72.000,000 people are now affected or threatened with dangcr- . ous scarcity , though It Is thought the gov ernment baa Borne prospect of coping suc cessfully with the situation. The unusual action cf the Russian newspapers In appealIng - Ing for subscriptions for the relief of the Hindoos Is received with considerable sus picion , and especially as It Is suggested that the Russian government should superintend the buying and dispatch of grain to India. The newspapers hint that the mainspring of such action Is that likely to be found in political rather than In charitable motltcs. The St. James Gazette , after pointing out the absence of-a British fund and confessing suspicion of the Russian motives , eays : "The moral effect can hardly help being bad , es pecially If Russian agents distribute the money In India. " The Berlin National Zci- tung , commenting upon the affair , remarks : "The affair has given the Russians oppor tunity of recommending themselves to the Hindoos as helpers In time of need , and aa generous friends , whereas Great Britain must seem Impotent as soliciting aid from Russia. " It' Is announced that the colonial bacteriologist elegist , Codlngton , has discovered the mi crobe of the rinderpest , which has been scourging South Africa. If the reported reeignatlon cf Sir H. Erum- mend Wolff , the British ambassador at Mad rid , turns out to be correct , Mr. Michael Herbert , formerly at the British embassy at Washington , new secretary of the embassy of Great Britain at Constantinople , may be sent to Madrid. ' , The Royal College of Surgeons 'has finally decided to admit women to diplomas in that college. . ' A party of twcnty-flve cyclist "champions" sailed for New York on the St. Paul tcday. They Include Llnton , Dubols and Runuden- Bouge of Italy and Hale of Ireland. They ore all to take part In the tournament at Madison Square Garden. MASSING THE NATIVES. A creat deal of excitement has been aroused In West African circles by a mys terious expedition which Is being arranged by the Royal Niger company , which has massed 1.000 native troops at I.okoya on the River Niger , and at Ibe on the Nenue. while about thirty British cfflccrs have sailed to take command of thU force. The officials of the Niger company maintain silence respectIng - Ing the destination of the expedition , which Is believed to be cither against the rebel lious Illorlan tribe or to restore order in the sultan of Sokcto's dominions. The French and German newspapers express great alarm , suggesting that the expedition Is a second Jameson affair , the Idea being to encroach upon the German and French spheres of In fluence. The trouble In the empire of So- koto , which Is the lirgcst and most popu lous In all the Soudan and Is under the con- trcl of the Niger company , calls attention to the career or tne veraarKauie negro au- vcnturcr , Rabah , who , from being a slave of Zobehr Pasha , has become chieftain of the Central Soudan , having conquered sultanate after sultanate. He live in barbaric splen dor , and It is reported ho now Intends to Invade the empire of Sokoto. which , being within the British sphere , probably led to the formation of the expedition. Tbe Niger territories , administered by the Royal Niger company under a royal charter , cover about 500,000 square miles and contain a popula tion variously estimated at from 20,000,000 to 40,000.000. The news from Liberia U also very unsat isfactory. Natives of Sierra Leone , the British colony , have been maltreated and their houses have teen destroyed by citizens of the ncgrcs republic. As a result two Brit ish gunboats have been cent to Monrovia , the capital of Liberia , to Insist upon repara tion. In the meanwhile the BrltUh mall boats calling at Rockton and Grand Bassa are not allowed to communicate with the shore. Tbe Llberlan navy , one small steel gunboat of ISO tons , has had tbo audacity to fire upon ont > of her Britannic majesty's mall boats. The shot went w'lde , and the mall boat , on returning to England , placed the matter in the bands of the BrIUsh gov ernment , and "further developments are an ticipated. " THEATER BUSINESS GOOD. The attendance at the various theaters continues fairly good , though not so large as during the previous fortnight. Tbe Strand theater is doing a light busi ness and only the suburban playhouses , where popular dramas at popular prices arc being played , are , with one or two excep tions , crowded. The music balls have , as usual , only standing room. Arthur Bourchlcr , who will play bis first engagement In America as a star , sailed for New York with bis company last Wednesday by tbo Teutonic. Previous to sailing Mr. Bourchler said to a representative of the Associated press : "My American season opens Monday , November 30 , at the Bijou theater. New York.

" Practically the only success Mr. Bourchler has recently achieved In London was with "The Chili Widow. " "Donna Diana , " which ho produced a short time ago at a matinee performance , was much criticised , the con sensus of opinion being that the play was tedious and that Mr. Bourchler had grown too stout to look the part of Don Cat-far. The last performances of "The Prlsonci of Zenda" are already announced. The last matinee will be given today and the play will not run over into the new year. The announcement Is made that "The Sign of the Cross" has by 1.000 performances In England alone drawn between 100,000 ( JT50- 000) ) and 200.000 ( $1.000.000) ) .

Ac cording to the persons In charge of the trains. 300 additional sick and wounded were expected to follow on another train. Advices from Pinar dfl Rio arc to the effect that the Insurgents have been broken up into small bands.

Passengers arriving tonight from Cuba confirm the ncwa of the report of the death of Serafln San chez , the Cuban leader , eald to have been killed during the past week. The following advices from Havana have been received : General Weyler Is moving in a southerly direction toward the coast of Plnar del Rio , after having taken posses sion of the mountain passes. Tbe entrances to the mountains of Pinar del Rio were abandoned by the Insurgents. Tbe Cubans , It Is eald , made no resistance at CacaraJI- cara , Brujo , Brujlto , Rubl , Rcaarlo , Amelia , Manuellta , Gobernardera. Sorao and other places. The Spanish swept before them everything that would have a tendency to aid the Cubans In carrying on their warfare , destroying factories and dwellings and even the farm products found on the dif ferent plantations In this section of Plnar del Rio. At the private residence of General Mac.eo the portraits of between fifty and sixty women were captured by the Span ish forces. Some of these are pictures of well known Havana belles and the writing upon tbo photographs seemed to be orlgit.al and genuine. A large number of documents , etc. , all abandoned by Maceo , have ulso been captured by the Spanish forces. General Weyler was reported on the 19th Inst. as being In Candelaria , on the 20tb Inst. as being at San Crlstobil and it Is believed that he will establish headquarters at Arteinlsa. It Is reported In Plnar del Rio that the Insurgents are downhearted because of the policy of continuous pursuit now adopted by the Spanish forces and because of the de struction of most of the products necessary to sustain life In Ibe eastern part of the province , and because of the military occupa tion of points necessary to pass through tbe mountains from north to south. On tbe north coast Cabanas and Pramatcs and other points are closely watched by the Spanish columns and no traces of any baud ) of Insurgents can be found in MaUnzas , Some local bands are said to exist , but they are not active at tbo present time. Rumors arc persistently circulated to the effect thai Maxip o Gomez and Callxto Garcia seized several days ago tbe important town of Las Tunas. This town is said fo have- been well fortified and well provided with artillery. It is claimed tbe Insurgents have captured Puerto Padre , on tbo north coast. Three New Ilruzlllnn MlnUter * .

Cl.iit of ( he I'litliirlnntl. ( Copyright. l X , by the Arsoclatcd P f . ) BERLIN , Nov. 21. Public attention dur ing the we k has been almost entirely ab sorbed by the Relchstas debates , and tbo politicians are convinced the statements of PrinceHohcnlohe , the chancellor , and the minister for foreign affairs. Baron Marschal von Uleberstcln , on the subject of the for eign policy of Germany have had an excel lent effect and have removed the suspicions of her allies. Count Herbert Bismarck's de nial In the Reichstag that he has given an Interview to newspaper men during the- past flvc years is hardly credited In political cir cles , and there Is excellent authority for saying he did give an Interview containing some of the recent revelations In Schoen- hausen. The count went to Frledrlchsruho Immediately after Monday's session of the Reich/stag and made a full report to hU father on the present attitude of the em peror and the government regarding the rev elations , and It ls stated a plan was agreed , upon to continue the newspaper disclosures. As a first result the Lelpslc Neuste Nach- rlchten has published a statement that Italy entered Into a secret agreement with Russia In 1S91 similar to the Rusjo-German alli ance. Emperor William Is said to be furious at these revelations , but he has no way of stop ping them. His ald-de-camp. Count von Moltkc. went to Frledrlchsruhe on Tuesday with Instructions to beg Prince Bismarck to cease his campaign , on the ground that It was calculated to seriously Injure Ger many politically , but Prince Bismarck re plied that he must retain the right of free speech and of ventilating his opinions. MINISTERS OP TWO -MINDS. One cf his majesty's adjutants attended the dueling debate In the Uelcbslag , took copious notes and reported to the emperor personally. The emperor took particular no- ttco of Herr Lenzmann's menacing speech. The radical arid Iber'af tietfipapers arc-very outspoken in their comments on the conflict- Ins declarations of Prince Hohenlohe and the minister for war. General von Gossler , the former declaring dueling must be sup pressed and that all classes of the popula tion must conform with the law , while the latter maintained the. reverse. General von Gosslcr Is understood to have expressed the views of the emperor. Some of the newspapers , the Vosalscho Zeltung , for Instance , predict a parliamen tary conflict with the Government this ses sion and state that If the Eovernjsent In sists upon a largo increase In the naval budget , as projected , the dissolution cf the Reichstag Is Inevitable. The radical and center parties are already discussing the probability of this course and are preparing to make a hard election fight. The Frankfort Zeltung threatens to formally prefer charges of high treason against the Hamburger Nachrlchtcn , with the state's attorney of Hamburg. This Is Intended to checkmate the government's pro ceedings to force the Zeltung to divulge the name of Its Informant of unauthorized Par liamentary news recently published. A fact much remarked Is that on the eve of the opening of the Prussian diet , the emperor went hunting , leaving Prince Hohenlobe to read the speech from the throne , contrary to his majesty's custom. The explanation Is that the emperor Is so upset at the Bismarck revelations that be Is In no fit frame of mind for a formal , quiet throne speech. TREASON IN POLAND AND POSEN. The government has decided to take severe administrative measures In order to coun teract the steadily Increasing treasonable agitation In Polish Prussia and Posen , and a strong Polish faction In the Diet Is pre paring a systematic opposition to the gov ernment , beginning by questioning the right of the government to change the provincial colors of Posen. A mass meeting will bo held In Berlin to morrow to protest against the dueling nui sance and In "favor of withdrawing the military class privilege. The petition to tbo same effect , with 500,000 signatures , will bo submitted to the Reichstag. Strict searches have been made this week ; in nearly all the Prussian garrison towns , owing to large quantities of socialist liter ature having been smuggled Into tbo bar racks. Thousands of socialist and anarch ist pamphlets were beized at Dantslc. Prof. Max Koner's oil painting portrait of the emperor , the first time completely In profile.
