MICHAEL MAKES A CHANGE,
For the Future He VIII Ride Horses
Under the Dwyer
CnInra

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21-The Post-Dis-
patch today says: The Post-Dispatch
is the only paper to announce the re-
tirement Of Jimmy Michael, the welsh
Rarebit," the greatest rider the field
of bicycling has ever known. The pa
pers this morning announce that Mich
ael has left Chicago and gone to New
York, but they fail to give the reason.
From an inside source the Post-Dis-
patch has learned that MichaePs trip
to New York is for the sole purpose of
entering the employment of Phil Dwyer
season.
Some time ago a rumor was aHoat
that DWyer had offered Michael a
handsome salary to quit the bike for
the race track, but the suggestion was
laughed at at the time, and the idea of
Michael taking any such step was pro-
nounced ridiculous. It appears, how
ever, that all along Michael has con-
sidered the proposition, and on Satur-
day last he announced to his nearest
friends that he was out of the bicycle
game for good. and that he was going
to New York to accept the offer made
him by Phil Dwyer.
George McLeiSch, MichaePs manager
for a long while, has been in st. Louis
since yesterday with Jim Kennedy. the
famous sporting authority, of New
York, and both those gentlemen refused
to say a word about Michael or his
plans. They admit, though, that Mich
ael will not be sent on the Western or
Southern circuits of bicycle tracks this
year

SENATE TALKS CENSUS
A WIDE DIVERGENCE OF INDIVID-
UAL VIEWS DEVELOPED
An Amendment to the Pending Bill
Placing the Work In Charge of
the Secretary of the Interior
Adopted, but No Other Action
Taken-DuH House Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-For three
hours today, the senate had under dis
cussion the bill providing for the tax
ing of the twelfth and subsequent cen
suses. 1t was so amended as to place
the census bureau under the secretary
Of the interior, but the extended discus
sion which followed disclosed so wide
divergence Of views on the part of
senators as to the various features Of
the measure that no further action was
taken.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Allen
(Neb.), directing the committee on
naval affairs to make an investigation
of the disaster to the battleship Maine,
was adopted without debate.
The galleries were filed today when
the senate convened, the crowd Of spec
tators doubtless being attracted by the
probability of further debate upon
Cuban affairs, or matters connected
with the catastrophe to the battle
ship Maine.
The joint resolution providing for the
recovery of bodies of officers and men
from the battleship Maine, and for the
recovery of valuable property on the
ship, which was passed by the house
of representatives last week, was pre-
sented to the senate and passed imme-
diately.
AS no other business was pressing,
the senate, at the suggestion Of Mr..
Hale (Me) began to consider un-
objected bills on the calendar Several
of local interest were passed.
At 2 o'clock consideration of bills on
the calendar was discontinued and the
measure providing for the next census
was laid before the senate. Mr.. Alb
son thought the census bureau ought
not to be made an Independent bureau,

entirely to the more important and
pressing matters of business before 1t
that the legation had overlooked the
sending of the proper notification of the
change to the state department.
1t Is said that as a matter Of fact

More Divers.
For very obvious reasons Capt. Sigs-
bee at Havana is making the most
strenuous efforts to hasten the recovery
Of the bodies probably nearly a hun
dred in number still imprisoned In the
wreck of the Maine. 1t was a knowl-
edge of the captains desire that prob
ably led Consul General Lee to notify
the state department of the need for
more divers. This had the desired eff
feet, for the navy department took &C
ton to send more help.
Admiral Sicard telegraphed from Key
West this afternoon that he had sent
five divers to Capt. Sigsbee and asked
If that was sufficient. The acting chief
Of the navigation bureau, Capt. Dick
ems, at once took the sensible course
Of directing the admiral to put himself
in communication with Capt. Sigsbee
and learn his needs at first hand
The business Of the navy department
is getting back to its normal condition,
as Is evidenced by the fact that an Or
der has been issued to discontinue the
special telegraph service which was es-
tablished with Key West, and hereafter
the office at that place will close at 10
o'clock at night as formerly.
Commander Forsythe, the command
ant at Key West, has also asked per-
mission of the department to stop his
daily bulletins and this has been grant
ed with an understanding that he will
report any death that may occur among
the sufferers in the hospital there.
Today he reported that they were all
getting along nicely. The exchange of
official condolences still continues.

STATE LOSES LANDS.
Adverse Ruling On Red Lake and
Chippewa Reservation
Cases

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-Secretary
of the Interior Bliss has prepared an
adverse decision to the claims of the
state of Minnesota for title to sections
16 and SO. on Red Lake and Chippewa
Indian reservations, for school pur-
poses. This decision would have been
promulgated last Saturday, but j. e.
Byrnes, who represents the state as
special agent, has filed a protest, and
demands a hearing, which will be had
this week. Senators Davis and Nelson
will probably appear before Bliss when
the matter comes up.
The claim is one Of great Importance
to Minnesota, as thousands of fertile
acres would be placed at the disposal
of the educational fund of the stats.
The land office officials have held that
treaty stipulations with Indians can
not be set aside, but the contention of
the state is based on the constitution
Of the United States itself under the
clause of section 8 of article 4.

phia and Norfolk, authorizing them to

There will be no difficulty whatever
in securing men, inasmuch as there are

dations of the department for an in

DULL HOUSE DAY.
Contest Over Il Private Claim Bill
the Feature of the Session,
Bill

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-This was
private bill day in the hsuse, but little
was accomplished. owing to the fact
that most of the time was consumed
in the passage of private pension bills
coming over from the Friday night
session three weeks ago.
The feature of the day was the splr-
tied contest over the bill to paw New
berry college, a Lutheran institution in
South Carolina, $4,000 for damages by
federal troops. 1t was finally passed.
On motion of Mr.. Bailey, the Demo-
cratic leader, the house voted 1886 to
observe Washington's birthday by ad-
tourning over tomorrow. but Mr.. Ding
ley raised the point of no quorum. and.
before further action could be taken,
the house recessed under the rule until
o'clock. The Republicans desire to go
ahead with the sundry civil appropria
ton bill tomorrow.
At the night session of the house the
private calendar was cleared. THIRTY
eight pension bills and two bills remov-
Ing charges of desertion were passed.
Among the pension bills was one grant
ing a pension of $50 per~month to Mar
garet Custer Calhoun, sister of Gen.
Custer. This bill has already passed
the senate. Three of the pension bills
carried $50 month. AT 1890 the house
adjourned until tomorrow.
