OF INTEREST TO WHEELMEN.

One of the reasons why the bicycle police.
men are able TO wear down .'scorchers" is
the fact that they are always in oonoition
for race. They ride on the average from
twenty-five to forty-five miles a day, they
say, and as those who violate the speed
laws are generally newcomers on the roads,
the officers are at great advantage.
A bicycle rack has been designed for use
on a Western railroad line which should
prove satisfactory In preventing injury TO
wheels while In transit: Instead OF being
placed at the side, and the bicycles stand
on the floor atan angle Of forty-five degrees
TO the side. The space thus reserved is
inclosed at the side. and covered by a
shelf for baggage, SO that the wheels are
well protected from damage.

Tuesday evening. President HiIderbrant

before 8 a. m. and after p. m.
An effort is being made to induce the
trains for bicyclcrs. The committee On
streets and highways OF the New York
consulate of the League of American
Gould on Tuesday and suggested that such
trains be run every half hour from n. m.
until 10 p. m.. and that special tickets
be provided for bicycles.
The manufacturer OF one of the prominent
wheels has the 81 model ready. Its weight
is twenty-five pounds and 1t has one aud
one-quarter inch tires.
The Newark Cycle Board OF Trade is con
sidering proposition to cut down the one
year guarantee to three months. If they
act affirnatively, they will ask the Ma
tional Cycle Board OF Trade for approval.
The reasons urged for ma king tne guar
aDtee three months are that many persons
who buy bicycles under the present gIar-
antee OF a year do not take proper care
OF their wheels. especially near the end of
the period during which breakages are
repaired free Of cost.
There is good reason for expecting that
the Pennsylvania Railroad will soon carry

that effect will be issued ip a few days.

proceedings at the conference between the
Dominion and Manitoba government commits
sioners which closed without result az Win
nipeg yesterday with relation to the vexed
school question, was made public here and
in Winnipeg tonight. The official statement
shows that the Dominion government made
proposition to Manitoba that the province
should adopt the Nova Scotia or New Bruins
wick system, under which such schools in a
modified form are retained. The Manitoba
government replied, declining to accept the
offer, offering to set apart a half hour, be-
tween $3.50 and p. m, each day for religious
exercises and teaching, such exercise to be
conducted by any Christian clergyman, whose
charge included any portion of the school,
district, or by person not clergyman bat
authorized by the latter and acceptable 70 a
majority of the school trustees. No pupils
should be required to attend the religious eX-
ercises if the parents objected, and such pu-
pills would be dismissed at $3.50. This prop
osition, the Dominion government, through
its commissioners, refused to accept and the
conference closed.

HOME RULE QUESTION.
Sharp Discussion Over the Proposed
Abolition of Small Postofficcs


WASHINGTON, April 2.-The postoiice ap-
preparation bill served to bring out some
sharp discussion in the senate today on the
propriety of abolshing country postoffices and
absorbing them branches of city Offices
Mr.. German opposed the amendment. It
was step toward doing away with the small
fourth-class postoffces. 1t was, Mr.. German
said, part of the prevailing tendency of the
world to absorb power and place it in the
hands of a few men. Those small postofRces
were local institutions, and the postmaster
was one of the local people, and the people did
not want their Offices absorbed by the great
city offices. THE entire tendency of the
day." he continued, lis to discredit the peo-
pie, to take from them the powers of govern
ment and the power TO name their own SER
wants. When the people have guardians ap-
pointed over them. then this government will
become failure
Mr.. German went on to make pointed refer
ence to the politics involved in this censoli-
dation. The men who had shouted loudest for
civil service reform were using this plan as
machine to accomplish political ends He
stated that the Baltimore postofice territory
Included two congressional districts and this
postofhce power was exerted toward infuenc-
Ing the selection Of men for congress- After
a speech by Mr.. Elkins, advocating subsidies
and other means of extending American
commerce on the seas, the postofice bill went
over.
During the day Mr.. George closed his speech
covering three days, in opposition to Mr.. Du-
points claim to seat. The resolution for in
vestigating the bond sale again went over on
MT. Hills objection. The senate adjourned
until Monday.
