REASONS FOn ADJorRNMrNT

Washington, March 25.-When asked for
his reasons for the introduction OF his
resolution for the adjournment of congress
on May 2. Senator Plat said he put in
the resolution because he believed CON
gress could complete all the business that
II VIII be able to do by that time. II Is
perfectly clear, he said. that there Will
be no important legislation during the
session except that embraced In the an
preparation bills and there is no reason
why those bills should not bc disposed OF
IN the six weeks allowed by the resolu-
ton. This being thr case. we should be-
GIN to look to adjournment.
The senator added that a large majority
OF the senators favor early adjournment
and that most OF them with whom ha
complished By the LIST OF May.

In the annual production OF cigars TO the
popularity of the bicycle II prints figures
10 prove that at least 10000 men have
taken TO wheeling with such Zest that
each Of them smokes four cigars day
fewer than formerly. OF course, such
statistics are merely fanciful, and there
are other reasons than the growth or
bicycling 10 partly account for the falilnS
Off I'm the demand for cigars. The pro-
tracted period Of financial depression mas
doubtless driven many men TO the briar-
wood pine which in flush" times Is
never treated by Americans with the re-
spect it deserves. Perhaps, too, the much
decried habit OF cigarette smoking Is
growing. The bicycle is merely one factor
I'm this matter, as in many other cases
of decreased trade for which II Is blamed.
Watchmakers, jewellers, hay and feed
merchants, wason-builders, skate-makers'
dealers IN musical instruments, theatre
managers. and actors lay 10 the account
Of the popular wheel losses they have
sustained the last year or two, with
just enough show of reason to lend
Diquancy 10 their arguments.

one powerful opposition against which
the theatres and roof gardens Will have TO
struggle this summer Is the bicycle, which
IS. II possible. more popular now at night
than at any other time. Nobody could see
the numerous wheels In the park. on the
Boulevard or the Riverside drive at
night without realizing that bicycling
must affect seriously the other forms
OF entertainment which Grew these
same people IN the past. The result of
this opposition is likely to be beneficial to
the persons who do stick to the roof
gardens which Will be compelled TO appeal
to the public more strongly than they
have i'm the past This influence was felt
last summer, and one enterprise, which
was discontinued after five nights. was
believed TO have failed chiefly through
the fact that most OF the persons who
wanted entertainment were out on wheels,
and rot disposed to give them up for
concerts or vaudeville.
