The Hobbyhorse Craze In America.

In St. Nicholas "The Story of the Wheel" is told by Frank H. yizetelly. Speaking of the draisine, or hobbyhorse, as it was derisively called, Mir. Vizetel- ly says:
 The first American appearance of the draisine was made in New York city. The people of the new world eagerly welcomed the new sport. Small manu. factories sprang up all over town, but the demand for wheels far exceeded the supply. Near Bowling Green these ve- hicles were first exhibited. Around City Hall park and around the Bowery at all times of the day riders might be seen. The craze-for craze it was-soon spread over the land, and the principal cities each had wheels. However, n re. action soon set in, and as suddenly as the draisine had risen into favor so sud. denly did it fsal from grace.

THE CUllOM BILL.
Amendments Proposed to the Interstate
Commerce Act.


Commerce Act.
Washington, March 1s.-The Senate
committee on interstate m to-
day resumed its hearing on the Cullom
bill amending the present interstate
m law Judge NJ. A. Knapp of
the Interstate commission ad-
dressed the committee in favor of the
proposed bill. He said that the situa-
ton. so far as the present Law was con-
cerned. had resolved itself into this,
that the original machinery. the pres
ent law, crude and Ineffective in some
respects, has practically broken down.
The proposed bill is to provide new ma
chinery by which the principles involved
in the original law may be made effect
i've.
Judge Knapp said that section four of
the present law had in its operation been
seriously crippled by the decisions OF
the courts. The proposed substitute
for that section, he said, is practically
the British law, n has received the
approval of the commission after the
most careful thought.
las ii is proposed said Judge
Knapp, the section will be in entire
harmony with the measure as a whole,
which confers the right upon carriers
to establish rates hat are higher for
short than for longer distances
One provision of the proposed bill,
Judge Knapp explained, maze III nm
perative upon receivers to publish their
freight and passenger tariffs.
In that respect he deemed the existing
law faulty.
Another important amendment to the
existing law, Judge Knapp believed,
was that which read: mo change shall
be made in the schedule of rates, fares
and charges filed and published as
aforesaid, unless the carrier files with
the commission a statement of sue
changes and posts new schedules as
hereinbefore provided, or plainly indi-
Gated such changes upon those already
posted. at least go days before the going
into effect of such changes"
Judge Knapp explained at length
some of the other provisions of the
proposed bill. describing the technical
differences betwee them and those Of
the existing law. He had not conclud-
ed when the committee adjourned.
