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.

WASHINGTON , May 1. The War depart
ment has received no advices from General
Otis since Saturday concerning the situation
in the Philippines. In the two dispatches
deceived today no mention Is made of the
negotiations with the Insurgents , nor of any
fighting. General Otis rcpoits that Captain
Rockefeller of the Ninth Infantry has been
missing since April 28. Captain Rockefeller
was making some Investigations about
Caloocan and has , not been seen since the
date given. Some of his personal papers
have been found about two miles from
Caloocan. It is feared that ho has been
captured by some of the Insurgent bands.
WASHINGTON , May 1. Captain Charles
A. Rockefeller- entered the nrmy as a private
In the Seventh New York In 1SC1. He served
through the civil war , reaching the rank
of first lieutenant of volunteers. He became
a second lieutenant in the Ninth infantry
In 1867 , and has been with that regiment
ever since. Ho has alw.ivs been known as a
good foldler nnd was a graduate ot the In
fantry and cavalry shool. Ho was well up
in the list of captains nnd would have re
ceived a major's commission In a short tlmo.
The following Is the dispatch of General
Otis announcing the dlsappeaiance of Cap
tain Rockefeller :
MANILA , May 1. Adjutant General ,
Washington : Captain Rockefeller , Ninth

WASHINGTON. May 1. The following
cablegram has been received from Admiral
Dewey :
MANILA , April 30. Secretary Navy ,
Wobblngton : Apparently reliable Informa
tion , ten of the Yorktown boot crew , In
cluding Gllmore , arc pilsoners at insurgent
headquarters. Am continuing Investigation.
DEWEY.
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. They probably
were killed or fatally wounded In the origi
nal assault upon the landing party at Baler.
The identity of the members of the party
still unaccounted for Is not known. 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.

WARDNER , Idaho , May 1. There were
no disturbances in the mining district to
day. Eleven men were seen from Wardner
going over the mountains , each with a rllle
on his shoulder , but their Identity or des
tiny was not known. A considerable num
ber of nonunion men left on the train to
day and also a few strikers. Citizens arc
In dread of further outrages from now until
the arrival ot troops. State Auditor Bartlett -
lett Sinclair arrived hero today as a rep
resentative of Governor Steunenbers-
Is searching for evidence against the dyna
miters , but cannot make much headway
before the arrival of troops ,
James Cheyne , wounded by dynamiters
on Saturday , Is not expected to Ilvo until
morning.
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

The Treasury department has taken steps
to prevent the photographing of the wai-
lants , because abuse of the privilege might
lead to the counterfeiting of government
securities. Miss Frances Johnson , a w ell-
known local photographer , today was called
upon to surrender plates ot photographs
which she had made of the warrants In
question and willingly did so on the rep-
icsentatlous of the secret service officials.
'NEW ' YORK , May 1. It Is expected that
the warrants for the $20,000,000 payment to
Spain will reach the subtreasury tomorrow
and that exchange for the entire $20,000,000
will be purchased by Spain's representative
in the local market. Dealers were of the
opinion this afternoon that exchange for
about three-fourths of the amount of the
Indemnity had already been gathered and
that the remainder would be obtained with
out a further advance in rates.

CRUSADE AGAINST DIVORCES

( Copyilght. 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.

BERLIN , May 1. 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. The >
Journal last quoted sajs that the German
conhiil at Hello marie a list of everything
belonging to German cltl/cns theio that was
destioyed or Injured in the bombardment '
and submitted It to Genttr.il Otis. In icply |
the consul baa received from General Otis ,
the statement that the United States will
not pay the damages claimed , ns Ilnllo at
the time of the bombardment was still In
possession of the Spaniards. Other Geinmn
merchants of Hello made representations of
a llko character to Gcneinl Otis and received
similar icplles The Vosslsehe Zeltung adds
that these and many moio claims will prob
ably lead to protruded diplomatic negotia
tions at Washington ,
