The "Mofn ohiki.v

The police of Tokyo, Japan, have established certain regulations for wheelmen. Riders must not remove both hands from the bars at once; must not use low-dropped handle bars; and must not indulge in trick riding in the streets. No person un> der 12 is permitted to ride in the streets, and the police may stop tie cyclists whenever they think neces sary. Lady cyclers are enjoined when riding in public to wear the hakama' or the .momohili,' or coverings of a similar nature. The shakama" is a skirt, and "momohiki" is Japanese for ''rationals," or ''bloomers." No doubt, if ''momohili"- graceful word with just suggestion of flip pancy about it-had been adopted by us instead of ''rationals" or bloom ers,'' momohiki would now be the uni yersa1 wear of cycling girls.-Detroit Free Press.

What Congress Is Doing.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The friends of the oleomargarine bill hope to secure a vote upon that measure tomorrow, and as soon as it shall be disposed of the Chinese exclusion bill will be called up. It is the hope of Senator Penrose, who has charge of the measure, that the senate will be able to conclude its consideration within ten days after it is taken nD. There is no pronounced opposition to the bill as a whole, but an effort will be made to amend it in some particu- lars. The Philippine government bill will be reported soon, but its consider alton by the senate will necessarily be postponed for some weeks. The house during this week will be large Iy occupied with the Landry civil ap- propriation bill. which was called up today It is the intention of the lead CTS not to bring forward the Cuban reciprocity bill until next week.

The latest snub given to General Miles recalls to mind the fact that the outspoken army officer was the cause of killing the prospects of the reorgan- ization of the staff army bill. Miles has number of the leading repuBli- cans at his back and is thus more in dependent in his attitude than he other wise would be. In regard to his criti- cism of the new army bill General Hawley said:. General NIiles's criti- -cisms are unaswerable, and unless Sec retary Root is especially insistent for the consideration of the measure we shall not attemtp to pass it" 4 high officer of the army said to friend:
 The country owes General Miles a vote of thanks for exposing the vicious nature of that war department bill, and think it will pay the debt with interest if the president retires him before he reaches the age limit"
