NOT SO EASY FOR THE TRUST Illc. > ele Manufacturer1 ! Having : Dlf- Ileulty In Forming Their III * ; Combine. NEW YORK , May 1. The Herald says : Recent developments In the attempted formation of a Bicycle trust Indicate the hugeness of the scheme as contemplated by the promoters and prove that all Is not plain sailing toward the perfection of that scheme Not only was H the Intention of the promoters meters to form a close combination of all the bl manufacturers of bicycles , but they aimed to bring Into the trust all makers of saddles , tires , rims , tubing and other blcjclu parts. With this end In view , options have been secured upon the plants of manufacturers of supplies and parts. It made little difference that some of the part manufacturers bad already foimcd a trust of their own. As a matter of fact , it is stated on excellent uuthoilty that A. L. Garford , who recently formed the Bicycle Saddle titist , was largely Instrumental in whipping the saddle and parts makers into line for the bigger com bination. It now appears that the big bicycle manu facturers nro not neatly so unanimous In the opinion that the proposed trust. If con summated , will be able to prevent the manu facture of bicycles by anyone not connected with and ruled by the trust. With the big makers In tbo combination It Is said that all patents of any use In the manufacture of bicycles will bo controlled by the trust and bonce the means by which to shut out com petition. The makers who have decided to remain Independent aver that many of these patents nro questionable and that few It an > have ever been sustained by the courts.

Inasmuch as there were fifteen members of the Yoiktown party captured by the Filipinos pines at Baler and Admiral Dewey accounts for only ton of them , It Is feared that the other live have been killed.

A tele gram was sent to Admiral Dewey today asking him to inform the department If possible of the names of the men known to bo In the hands of the Filipinos. It Is accepted nt the department that the reason ho has not already furnished tbcso names , with the exception of that of Gilmore - more , In his dispatches of ycbterday's date , was because ho did not have tbo Informa tion. The Insurgent headquarters whore Admiral Dewey says the men are held pris oners Is supposed to bo San Fernando , but there Is no assurance on that point. ( iAIJj.YVl'llY llltl.NfiS COMMISSIONS.

SPOKANE , Wash , , May 1. The special correspondent of the Spokosman-Rovlow at Wardner telegraphs that pending the ar rival of Iho troops the town Is In n state of strained suspense. What heightens the anxiety Is the general doubt ns to when the troops will ariive. In the absence of troops It would bo folly to attempt tha resumption of work at the Bunker Hill under nonunion control. Any attempt to do so would assuredly result In n revival of the Hots of 1892. Outbreaks like that of Sat urday could be repeated us often and as violently as the strikers may desire. President Bradley of San Francisco now refuses to make any statement regarding the company's policy. State Auditor Bartlett Sinclair , the spe cial representative og Governor Steunen berg , arrived hero today. He declares em phatically for law and order.

ISM , by Press Publishing Co ) LONDON , May 1. ( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) The English high church party Is determinedly pur * 'itiu Its crusade against the tcmarrlaRe of di vorced persona. On Saturday afternoon a military ollker who had divorced his wlfo eighteen months since was remarried at Christ church , Down street , Piccadilly. The marriage was being conducted quite pri vately , no ono being present but the Im mediate relatives of both parties. Every thing proceeded In an orderly fashion until the words of the service calling upon "any man to allege nnd declare any Impediment why they may not bo coupled together In matrimony by God's law or laws of this realm" wore reached. Hero Rev. Edwin Walker , who was siandlng unnoticed In n pow apart from the small company of guests , answered In a loud voice- "I , Edwin Walker , assistant priest of St. Peters , London docks , do allege and declare an Impediment why those persons ma > not bo coupled together In matilmony by God's law. This man has a canonical wlfo living. " The wedding party first stood aghast at the Interruption , but two church wardens then advanced to whore Walker was and forcibly removed him from the church. On the way a military friend of the bridegroom struck him n blow on the side ot the head , to the great scandal of all present. The bride had to bo supported by her father and some minutes elapsed before the ceremony could bo proceeded with , when It was con cluded without any further Interruption. Rev. Edwin Walker when Interview ed said : "It makes no difference to these for whom I speak that the bridegroom was an Innocent party In a divorce suit. He cannot bo married according to canon law while his canonical wife Is living. I came hero at the Instance of Father Black , who has icpeat- edly made these protests , as wo desire to show that other clcigymen are at one with him In this matter. There are plenty of registry offices where these divorced people can enter Into a civil contract and they should not desecrate the house of God by being married lu church. We will render It impossible for any divorced person to be remarried In London without such a scandal as has occurred In thla Instance. " The bridegroom of the Interrupted marriage was Captain Dutton Hunt of the Light In fantry , one of the best shots In the British army. The bride Is Miss Hoptou of Radnor shire. It seems that a disturbance was not unexpected , as Father Walker had Intimated bis Intention of Interfering. On his doing so Mr. Rowsell , son of. the vicar of the church , wheeled him round and handed him over to the church wardens , who conducted hltu to. the door. It Is suld Walker : nteiu ( ! to take action against the vicar's son and another for assault. ev. Rowsell , the offi ciating clergyman , says the protest was al together unwarranted , inasmuch as Captain Hunt obtained a divorce from his wlfo and not she from him. MAvs AIIC iioi'iivr. FOR PEACE.

The newspapers of Germany , commenting upon the latest news from the Philippine Islands , express the hope that the United States will now end the hostilities In the far cast. The Frankfurter Zoltnng says : "Wo ttust that President McKluley and his advisors - ! i visors will not be misled by Jingo shoutings , but f-it they will listen to the voice of the Filipinos as expressed through their leaders ' ers nnd to the voice of the American nation - tion as expressed by the serious press and the declaration of sober minded politicians. We never have doubted the ability of the Americans to enforce their will In the Phll- Iplnes , but now U seems that the moment has como to make good the wrong done and bring their mateilal Interests In accoid with the dictates of Justice " j The Vosslsche Zeltung. basing Us comments - i ments upon private advices fiom the Philip pines , says that the continuance of the war I Is Inflicting grave Injury upon Got man com- moiclal Interests and details a number of cases In suppoit of this assertion.
