A bicycle agent has figured out that
no investment pays such high interest
as the money paid for a bicycle. The
average rider saves twenty cents day
in carfare, say five days in week for
fifty weeks in the year, or saving of
fifty dollars; andif ne owns high grade
wheel he will have had TO pay nothing
for repairs, thus obtaining a return Of
fifty per cent. upon his original invest
ment. Should he wish TO obtain a new
mount he can, if he has been careful of
his wheel, sell it for half the price,
which, with the fifty it has earned in
carfare alone, will have given him his
years riding for nothing. Tbs is ex-

.A PROTEST FROM germany
AGAINST PRESIDENTS PROCLA-
NATION IMPOSING TON
MAGE TAXES.
OF An EXTRA SESSION
Knowing Ones Say the New President
Will Surely Call Little Hope
of Dingley Bill Passing Dur
ing Short Session.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The German
government has lodged protest with
the state department against the action
of the president in imposing tonnage
| taxes on German ships entering Ameri-
can ports. The receipt of this protest
will be duly acknowledged, but nothing
| is likely to result unless the German gov
eminent takes steps to remove charges on
American shipping, which formed the
basis for the presidents proclamation.
The contention of the German govern
ment is that it does not tax American
shipping and the government can not be
held accountable for local charges by
municipal corporations. The conten-
ton Of our government, on the other
hand, regardless of the question of who
is responsible for the levying of the port
dues, is that collection from Ameri-
can vessels is the only fact necessary
to be established to put in operation the
Dingley law. imposing tonnage duties on
German vessels. The law is self
operative, and once the president is
satisfied that port charges of any char
acter are imposed on American ships by
a foreign government, he must proclaim
that fact, thus setting the law in force.
1t is said here that since German ships,
in 1888, by Secretary Bayard's act, were
relieved of tonnage dues in American
ports, our ships entering German ports
have paid port duties to the amount of
about $4,000

Mark Hanna Says That Mckinley Will
Select the Cabinet.

Washington, Dec. ST have nothing
to do with the selection of the members
of Mr.. McKinley's cabinet, and any
news confirming it must come from
him."
The declaration was made by Mr..
Mark A. Hanna to a caller at the Ar
lington hotel today. The interviewer
was particularly anxious to know as to
whether Senator John Sherman of Ohio
was likely to become a member.
| Mr.. Hanan had nothing to communi-
cate
| From other sources of high charac-
ter, however, it is learned that Mr.. Nc
Kinley holds a very high opinion of the
senator's ability as Il statesman and
financier and at the proper time will
ask him to accept one of the most i'm
portant portfolios at his disposal.
Whether the senator will accept is n
matter of serious doubt Some of his
| friends assert that he would much prefer
| to remain in the senate. 1t is SAID, too,
| by the senator's friends that all the dis
| tinction that attaches to cabinet posi-
| ton has already been fully achieved by
him while secretary of the treasury
under President Hayes.
Mr.. Hanna is in favor of having the

sional library building instead of the
pension building, but is meeting With
considerable opposition, Senator Morrill,
| of Vermont being foremost in hostility
to it.
Mr.. Hanna, Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Os-
borne are looking for permanent head
quarters for the republican national COM
mittee in order to continue the educa-
tional feature of the campaign work,
and within day or two probably will
settle all necessary details.

said, no attempt Mt legislation in the bill.
Mr. Grow (rep) of Pennsylvania, the
veneral ex-speaker of the house. took adj
vantage of the latitude allowed in the
debate on an appropriation bill to attack
that portion Of Mr.. Cleveland's message
relating to the effects from revenue
standpoint of the enactment of The pres
ent tariff law. The deficit for the first
years life of the law, he said, was $25,-
100000, for the second, $i5,000,000, and
for the first five months of this year,
S40,976, 4J3. Yet he said, the president
had not seen fit, with these large def
cts, to recommend any measure for the
increase of revenue. The necessity for
revenue. he argued, could not be denied
in the face Of the figures submitted by
the president himself 1t was, he de-
clared, purely business question. He
showed that importations were increas-
ing and the revenue decreasing. 1t indi-
Gated, he said, lack of business capaci-
ty in the imposition of duties.

EXTRA SESSION TALK

Washington, Dec. 5.-There is practi-
cally no longer any doubt of the inten-
ton of President-elect Mckinley to con-
vene the Fifty-ffth congress in extra
ordinary session early next spring.
There were several arrivals of friends
and confdants of Maj. Mckinley direct
from Canton today, who bring the posi-
tive announcement that call for a
special session, to be convened in q few
days after the 4th of March, has been
decided upon. 1t is stated by men in a
position TO know that this decision has
been definitely reached by Mr.. Mckinley
since his consultation with Mr.. Dingley
chairman of the committee on ways and
means. .
Senator Thurston is another who is
positive in his belief that an extra ses-
sion will be called not later than
March Is.

for secretary of the treasury.
