It is said that several of the railroads of the State aro refusing to carry bicycles in baggage cars without the payment of the usual amount of 25 cents.

Republicans Are Play ing a Waiting (Janie, Washington, March 14.—To morrow at u'nm both houses of the Fifty-fifth congress will convene in extra session. It is not likely that the senate will remain in continuous sessiod during the week unless the President is much more expeditious thau he has been iu making nominations. There is nothing before the senate aud there will be nothing to require close application to business until the committee on foreign relations pass the arbitration treaty with Great Britain. A special meetiug of the committee for the further consideration of this subject has been called for to-morrow. When Senator Davis’ motion to refer the treaty back to the com mittee was discuased during the recent special session, there was a general expression of opinion that the designation of justices of the United States supreme court as members of the tribunal should be eliminated. It was thought that as jurists iu the court of last re sort iu this country the judges might be called upon to pass on questions similar to those that might arise under this treaty of arbitration, and, should this prove to be the case, the situation would be more than embarrassing as the opinion of the judge as a member estoppel iu the exeroiee of his rights as au independent member of the tribunal. It is almost cer tain that the treaty will also be amended along the lines of the Turpie amendment of the last session, so as to provide that every case or question intended to be submitted to arbitration under this general treaty shall first be sub mitted to the senate for its ratifi cation. Meanwhile the Republicans in matter of organization of the com mittees are playing a waiting game. They will make no effort to do more than fill their own vacancies until the legislatures of these two States sleet. It is un derstood that au agreement baa about been reached with the Democrats to this end. The proposition to consolidate all ele ments opposed to the Republicans for the purpose of capturing the organizations and the committees appears to have fallen through owing to the inability of these ele ments to coice together. A new count in the indictment against the forest destroyers i« pre ferred by Health Officer Duffield, of Detroit. He finds a remarkable increase in that city iu the mbrtal- ity caused by pneumonia and con sumption, and he ascribes this chiefly to the extremely rigorous climate, which, he says, has greatly changed in the past fifty years be cause of the cutting down *of pine forests of the State. Forty or fifty years back contoumptives went from points in the East to Michi gan to live among the pine woods in the State, and derived great ben efit. Now the cold, moisture-laden winds are not broken by the forests as they formerly were, and sudden changes of temperature and these unhealthy blasts are a great cause of the prevalence of lung diseases. Dr. Duffield thinks that if a re planting of pine trees was begun, the effect would be, in a few years, to decrease the cause of such ail ments: MRjM K1NLEY AT CHURCH- H»«* >l«tru|>itUtaii >l«'ili<uli«i rh, Wbrre H«* Will Ink. * IVw. ilngton, March 14.—Proai- icKinley again attended ser- lis morning at the Mctropol- hhodist church, where Pres- flrant was a communicant this residence in the White and a half block distant First Presbyterian church President Cleveland had Last Sunday McKinley the Metropolitan church.

Mayo, who has just completed a tour of many public schools in the South, says that, while there have been many improvements and constant ad-' vances in southern public school systems, 'there is still room for further progress. In the graded schools he finds that, as a rule, the principal has too much work to do. He is not only expected to act as superintendent, but also to be teacher in a class room, and fre quently this is the largest class room in the school.
