LONDON. 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. BALLAUD SMITH.

NEW YORK , Xor. 21. 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.

LONDON , Nov. 21. 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

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-

rid , turns out to be correct , Mr. Michael

Washington , new secretary of the embassy
of Great Britain at Constantinople , may be

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

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) ) .

Clara , report having passed trains bearing
700 sick persons cnrojte for Havana. 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. By this means the In
surgent leaders hope to prevent General
Wcylcr from following them Into the most
Inaccessible portions of the forests and
mountains.
General Wcyler's presence In Pluar del
Rio U eald to greatly encourage- all persons
In.that section.who Are still loyal to Spain.
James William Brown , the Englishman'
recently expelled from Cuba , sailed on the
steamer City of "Washington for Vcra Cruz.
As ho boarded the boat be shouted back at
the Spanish officials : "Viva Cuba Libre. "
A report is in circulation here to the ef
fect that General Maceo has been killed at

KEY WEST , Fla. , Nov. 21. 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.

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 ;

to destroy by every permissible means , such
pamphlets and newspaper articles as are ex
citing anglophobism fn Germany.
