The End of the Chicago Fight AgainstDepartment

For three or four years some of thoChicago retail merchants have beenmaking a tremendous potherthe department stores Theyagitated have made ineffectualboycotts havo gone to Spring-field and with the aid of some of thodemagogues prepared preposterous billsclassifying merchandise and laying ex-

orbitant taxes on the different clausesof it for the purpose of injuring thedepartment stores great varietyof articles is kept bills wouldnever have held water in thefor they were not general andin their provisions The country storewhich is a department store in minia-ture was not attacked Tho big Chicagostores were to be fined and ruined-if possible for the sake of benefitingsome of their smaller competitors-

The movement never had any realchance of success and for some timeit has dropped out of sight Tho verypeople who would sign petitions to theLegislature for laws in restraint of de-partment stores would sneak off andtrade at them The wives of the smalldealers who were so hot against the big

could not be kept from buyingat them Tho agitators admit

this After all the froth and fury plainbusiness sense won the day Peoplewill buy where they think they conbuy most advantageously You maydeclaim at public meetings or on streetcorners against crushing monopolies-and make damnable faces at the OctopusThe wife of your bosom has common-sense even if you havent and she willbuy where she thinks it her Interestand convenience to buy The IllinoisLegislature would have a sweet job ifit undertook to boss the Chicago womenin their shopping

Having failed to skin or scare theOctopus some of the Chicago retailmerchants have decided to do a lit-

tle octupussing themselves Thirty ormore of thorn traders in various linesof goods are going to combine and to

a department store of their ownof tho combination the pro

moter of the now enterprise is the manwho led the combination against de-

partment stores in 1897 He has learnedwisdom Ho will adopt instead oflighting vainly the methods which havemade tho BUCCCHS of tho rivals whomhe was seeking to destroy or cripplefourycars ago In one respect ho hasmade n startling advance The newstoro is to Iw nil night

Defeat of the BritishAfter lasting just a week

manoeuvres of the British Navy cameto an end on Monday afternoon whenthe Admiralty without warning Issuedorders to the CommndoreinChlef ofthe two to return to their stations-Of report has not beenmode or even that part of it intended-

for public consumption but it is saidthat X fleets commanded by VlceAd-

mlral Sir A K WILsON V C has beendeclared victorious over B com-

manded by Rear Admiral H U

The command reprethe the latter the

British on tho defensiveThe began on Monday

July 20 when the word reached thecontending fleets they were north ofthe fiftysixth parallel B fleet to theeastward X fleet to the westward ofScotland Tho object of both com-

manders was to obtain control of theChannel Admiral WILSON also was totry to stop the trade in thosewhile Admiral NOEL was toIn toe latters fleet B there were twelvebattleships fourteen cruisers and eight

boat destroyers in Admiralthere were eight battleships

thirteen cruisers and eight destroyersTwo special squadrons with elevencruisers and twentyfour destroyers-were attached to B fleet and whenthe manamvres began were at Ports-mouth and Portland and two similarsquadrons of eleven cruisers twentydestroyers and six torpedo boats attached to X fleet were at the ScillyIslands and tho Channel Islands Thedefending fleets thus numbered seventyships the enemys sixtysix-But as a fact tho X quite aspowerful as the B fleet and its vesselswere much faster

The first engagement occurred onthe day the war began when a de-

tachment of Admiral NOELS fleet mettho special squadron stationed at theScilly Islands and was defeated Afterthat ViceAdmiral WILBON seems tohave been pretty consistently victoriousand when the war ended ho had putout of action some dozen cruisers twogunboats and eight destroyers losinghimself three cruisers three destroyers-and a like number of torpedo boatsHis had also captured theoretically-a of merchantmen Thusho had acquired control of theand was able to stop its trade

Various writers have Already announced that England Is at tho mercyof an invading enemy and that theresult of tho confirms thecriticisms to which the British Navyhas been subjected This conclusionappears premature Much more plain isIt that Admiral WILSON proved himselfon abler strategist than Admiral NOEL

Mr TREVBLYAN now Sir GEOROE

TREVELYAN expressed tho feelings of theBritish publio about the navy in his

Ladles In Parliament In these wordsWhen nallor lived on mouldy bread and

lump of rusty porkNo Frenchman dared to show hit noM be-

tween the Downs and CorkBut now that Jack get beet sad greens and

State of the WheelNumerous expressions have been

heard during tho post few months totho effect that bicycling is becoming less popular But of all the uncheerful views of tho situation the moatpronounced comes from Now Orleansand appears in tho TimesDemocrat-In an Interview with Mr W H PICKENB

a wellknown bicycle authority-Mr PICKENB avers that bicycle

riding has been on the sure and steadydecline for four years and even thatthe wheelmen have decreased 75 per-

cent since 1897 Tho wheel will neverhave again the popularity It enjoyed-in the year named

This Southern authority also notesthe bicycles loss of power to amusethousands who do not themselves ridebut formerly occupied front seats atcycle races Tho racing game Is in a-

very stagnant condition The intro-duction of motor cycles for pacinghas not brought back the lostfollowing as It wasand professional racing men who afew years ago won thousands of dol-

lars annually nro now borrowingmoney from their friends Valuablecash prizes were hung up for themfive years ago they are notoffered loather medals to racenow From ISM to ISOS Inclusive1000000 bicycles wero manufacturedanti Hold in the United States or anaverage of lOOOOdo a year nndPICKENS doubts very ranch whetherthe sales of wheels this year will amountto IWOOO Ho concludes thereforethat In Its lay cycle making was ex-

tremely profitable but that that dayhas gone by

The reason ascribed by Mr PICKKVSfor the great change alleged of time

bicycle industry N substantially theone advanced by many other personsin explaining tho nituation namelythat cycling has come to bo regardedwith comparative indifference by time

It is true that Value of the wheelsexported from this country droppedfrom 7000000 in 1888 to 15000000 in1800 and to 3000000 in IWO but thedecrease has been accounted for by thofact that several foreign countries inwhich a few ago the wheelmaking industry and which werethen large buyers of the American product now manufacture almost enoughmachines for their own use

It is safe to think that the statementscontained in our Southern contemporarygreatly exaggerate the situation Certainly the crowds this summer at Madi-

son Square Garden and at ManhattanBeach and several other hero

where cycle races beennot substantiated the views

of Mr PICKENS as regards the interest-in racing and the appearance of thecycle thoroughfares indicates no suchcondition as ho describes with regard-to everyday

The Battle of theTho attempt of two gamblers to stop

another gambler from doing business-at Saratoga calls attention to a situationprevailing at that resort whichmust bo interesting alike to municipalreformers and social philosophers Itseems that n few ago the townwas so afflicted of gamblersthat folk refused to go therefor a outing and the town suf-

Then they decided mustbe n change Some of the leading cit-

izens with practical minds announcedthat they believed that if a seriouseffort wero put forth gambling couldbo controlled Tho people of Saratoga-were willing to try almost anythinganti thereupon a few serious hard-headed men set about to control a viceThey used highhanded methods Theywell realized that under the law there isno way of controlling law breakingTherefore they resorted to measureswhich had neither warrant in law norin equity They laid bluntproposition that a number-of gambling places should be allowedin the town and that the fiat of the powersthat were should determine who mightconduct the places and who might not

A President of the village in sym-pathy with the gamblers and a gamblerhimself was legislated out of office and-

a Democratic business man the choiceof Republicans and Democrats alike wasput in his place In its practical operation the plan has succeeded up to thepresent time Prosperity returnedSaratoga has learned that much gam-bling doth make a town mad but that alittle gambling is not altogether nnunprofitable thing The gambling resorts were run so quietly that unless astronger were looking for a roulettewheel or a faro bank he wouldnt have

But then came tho Inevitable OnSaturday two wellknown gamblersstarted out to prevent one of the favored sporting mon from openly vio-lating the law while they themselves-are prevented from doing so Theman arrested was RICHARD A CAN

port conducts tho finest gambling re-
