Miners wantaouo warranto.

HARRISBURG, Feb. 2.-Henry J. Bennett, Joseph Cahill and Edward Moore this morn ing appeared before Attorney General Kil- patrick and presented petition asking him to issue writ of quo warranto against the Reading railroad company on the ground that it was violating the constitution by en- gazing in the business of mining and carry, ing coal.

THE CHINESE MUST GO. Denis Kearney Seeking More Legisla' ton to Keep Them out.

ton to Keep Them out.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Denis Kearney to- day addressed the House committee on for eign affairs in the advocacy of additional legislation to restrict Chinese immigration. Mir. Kearney exhibited a map showing the Chinese district of San Francisco and said that the Chinese to the number of 75,000 now occupied the entire pioneer district of San Francisco and had erected Joss house close to the leading Catholic church in the city. As he proceeded he made per- sonal reference to MT. Hit of Illinois, mem Der of the committee, denouncing him for his antagonism to the efforts to stop Chinese inn migration and threatening to stump his dis trict against him for Congress and pelt him with dead cats. He dealt with great empha- sis on the fact that Chinese immigration was going on at the rate of forty thousand persons year through the British ports of Hong Kong and the French port of Macao, the Chinese landing in this hemisphere at the British port of Vancouver. When ef- forts were made to stop it through the courts he said a systematic plan so that one Chinaman represented another and proved to the satisfaction of the court that he was we'll acquainted with the city of San Francisco and that he was really Chi l naman returning from travels.

HoUsE.-Mr. Blount of Georgia, chairman
 of the committee on postofdees and post
 roads, called up for consideration the bill
 amending the statutes so as to provide that no publications that are but books or re-
 prints of books, whether they be issued com- plete or in parts, bound or unbound, or in series, or whether sold by subscription or otherwise, shall be admitted to the mails as second class matter. The object of the bill, explained MT. Blount, was to prevent an evasion of the law which designates what shall constitute second and third class mail matter. Under the law, books must pass through the mails as third class matter. But ! an abuse had sprung up and the law had been evaded by publishing books at stated ! intervals and passing them through the mails as second class matter on the ground that ! they were periodicals. While the Bible and educational books had to pay eight cents pound the yellow covered novel could go l through the mails for one cent pound. Ali ! ter some discussion the bill was passed; yeas \ 145, nays 116.

ROWING ON DRY LAND.
A Description of the New and Rapid
Road Sculler."

A Description of the New and Rapid
Road Sculler.'
One of the most unique affairs that ever
rested on wheels is the new road sculler, or
land rowing tricycle.. 1t is at the same time
one of the most valuable to oarsmen who
live in the north, as it enables them to keep
in training during the winter months
1t rests on three wheels like tricycle., and
is propelled, SO far as the muscular exertion
is concerned, like a boat, only the rider faces
forward. An expert rider can row himself
a mile in 2:30 on good hard road.
The machine consists Of light iron frame,
the rear end of which rests upon an axle,
which is bent go that the line of support is
below the centers Of the wheels. The for
ward end terminates in fork, in which the
single forward wheel plays. This part is
not unlikr the arrangement of tie forward
wheel of The bicycle, only On a much smaller
scale. The two main wheels are 40 inches
in diameter, and the forward one, which is
the steering wheel, is 20 inches.
The rear half of the frame supports a
Davis sliding seat, exactl. the thing which
all scullers now use Close to the forward
end are the foot rests, in which the rider
places his foot, just as a sculler does in his
boat. These foot rests serve another pur
pose, as by them the rider steers the machine.
Two little levers reach from the toes OF the
foot rests to the fork which encloses the for
ward wheel, and by pressing forward either
foot the rider turns tbs stessring wheel to the
right or left as he may desire.
