Ing on the bill for the prohibition of bag
gage charges on bicycles OF passengers
with no other baggage. President Elliott
of the League OF American Wheelmen
eaid that 12l railroads and IL steamboat
companies in this country carry tricycles
free OF charge. He said that the trouble
was that the railroads had made no pro-
vision for bicycles. II they did, there
would be a great increase in passenger
fares, for many OF the wheelmen would
ride on the trains oftener.
The committee on labor also had some
thing new, namely, bill 20 regulate the
hours and general treatment of hospital
nurses, and bill to clip the wings of the
chairman OF the state board Of arbitration.

JOHN y. DILLON.

The Times says: Mr.. Healy disclaimed
any personal animosity toward John Dill
Ion. and he admitted his right to a promi-
nent voice in the affairs of the party, but
he spoke very plainly in giving the reasons
for Dillon's unfitness for the leadership.
He declared that the difficulties surround
ing the party were largely Dillon's mis-
take, and that Dillon's personal ambition
was the real eau OF the dissensions. IL
was remarked 4 the lobby that Dillon
may be the leader OF the committee room,
but Healy will undoubtedly be the leader
on the floor of the commons.
