soup TIRES, PNEUMATIC HUB. .
A New? Invention Which Renders
the _\Vheel Punctureless.
South Bethlehem, Pa.., Oct. 1.-—An in-
ventor here has just secured a patent
on a bicycle with pneumatic hubs and
solid tires. Around the axle, protected
by steel thimbles, so that there is ab-
solutely no wear on the rubber, is a
pneumatic tube, blown up the same as
pneumatic tires. This tube is incased
in a. nickel-steel frame, to which the
spokes are attached. The frame, hang—
ing on 'these inflated hubs, causes the
rider to rock easily, as though he were
sitting in a swing. There is conse-
quently the least possible vibration,
jarring and jolting. The wooden rim
consists of three kinds of wood, in
The
spokes are of a material which can be
bent and twisted and tied into knots,
like twine without breaking—in fact,
they cannot be broken. The inventor
also has a new way of stringing the
wheel, so that the pressure and weight
are never on less than four spokes at
the same time.

Alleged Negotiations with an Amer-
ican Syndicate for a Loan.
Iiondon, Eng, Oct. 1.——The Times
publishes along letter on the financial
situation in China. Among other
things the writer says the fresh fall in
silver has wiped out the margin for
hypothecation which remained out of
the customs revenue. ‘
Continuing, the letter says: “But
China is raising a new loan in order to
pay. the balance of the Japanese in-
demnity before 1898, as thereby the
' Treasury profits to the extent of two
and three-quarter millions, aside from
the Japanese evacuation of Wei—Hai-
Wei. China is negotiating not only
with English and German banks, but
with the United States Consul-General,
who represents a powerful American
syndicate, including Mr. J. Pierpont
Morgan and several minor financiers,
playing off one against the other. .
“As a matter of fact, at the date of
writing, Sheng is still receiving over-
tures from the Americans, and has
been receiving them ever since the
signing of the preliminary contracts."

The Treasury Finances.
Washington, Oct. 1.—The Treasury
statement for September will show re—
ceipts of $21,319,644, of which the tariff
has contributed $7,943,100, internal rev-
enue $12,701,975, and miscellaneous
ltems $674,547. This is generally as pre-
dicted, the tariff showing an increase
over August of $956,000, and the in-
ternal revenue an increase'of $1,508,000.
September is always a better customs
month than August. The month’s ex-
penditures were $24,752,361. This brings
a. deficit for the month of $3,432,717, and
' for the three months of the fiscal year
$29,012,954. Of the month’s total ex—
penses nearly eleven million dollars, or
44 per cent, was for pensions, and yet
this month’s charge under this head
has been the smallest since June. For
this quarter of the fiscal year, the pen-
sions payments are nearly forty million
dollars.
