Baltimore, Md., Feb. 12. In conse quence of today's action by the League ot American Wheelmen convention there are now but two classes of bi cycling racing men. Class B, general ly known as pro-amateurs. Is wiped out of existence. There are 573 of this class of riders, all of whom will be given the option either of becoming amateurs or of accepting professional ism. This definitely settles an agita tion that has been in progress among wheelmen for years and has taken a most prominent part in their affairs ever since the sport was known. Class BS. which la now abolished, was a middle ground between amateurism and pro fessionalism, und was adopted by the bicyclers' body at the suggestion of Howard B. Raymond, of Brooklyn, then chairman of the national racing board at the convention in Louisville In lsn:!, it having previously been withdrawn at the convention in New York the year previous. When cycling began to assume Its present wide (laid for profitable Invest ment, competition demanded advertise ment. It was found by the makers that if they could get faBt racing men to ride their wheels It aided greatly In Uv sules, as some of the guileless as sumed that It wus the wheel and not the man that won the races. The repu tation of the great manufacturers of this country and England were builded on that basis. The competition then became keen among the makers for the services of the Myers and the re wards to them reached large propor tion, and thus started the scandal of bicycling racing which has been wiped out today. There has been growing for years a sentiment to class these men as professionals and today's action is a fruition of that agitation. The im mediate result of the uction is to re move the cloak of amateurism from professionals. The Decision Unexpected. The agitation which led up to the de cision was most unexpected. Amend ments to the constitution and by-laws were under consideration and several having a bearing upon class H had leen adopted without an effort in the direction of abolishing the class. In the discussion of a proposed amend ment offered by Chairman Gideon, of the racing board, several amendments to the amendment were made, until finally Albert Mott, of Baltimore, marie a motion to strike out all reference to class B and to make a hew heading In the constitution of "professional." The suggestion was debated with grow ing excitement until the convention waa In an uproar. The unanimity of the sentiment In favor of abolishing the' B) class was unexpectedly pro nounced. .Cries of "vote" came from all parts of the hall, and lr. Mott's motion waa carried almost unanimous ly. Three cheers were given when the result was announced. PANIC AT A DANCE. Wild Alarm Is Ksissd by the Cry of Fire. Pittsburg, Pol, Feb. 12. Late last night while a dance was in progress In Elslngham hall, at ttanksvllle, a min ing hamlet near Pittsburg, an alarm of fire waa raised, and immediately the hall filled with smoke. The hall occupies the second floor of an old frame structure, which at best Is a very rickety affair. A panic resulted, and ' for a time the battle for safety was frightful. In the rush to the win dows and doors a number of ladies fainted, while other were knocked down and trampled under foot. Several per sons jumped from the windows and the escape of the 200 or more people from g horrible death was narrow. - The flames under the bulldlnsr were soon extinguished. Several people were consiaeraDiy oruisnra, out no one sua but no one sus uunea serious injury. I II. IN CONGRESSIONAL HALLS - . - " Senator Hakley Objects to Making Lincoln's Birthday a Leyal Holiday, THE bIG GUNS OX COINAGE Speeches Arc Made for and Against the Senate's Substitute for the House Bond Bill -A Scheme to Sur vey Alaska's Boundsrie. Washington. Geo. 12. The birthday of Abraham Lincoln, this 12th day of February, would have been added to the list of American hoidays, so far as the action of the senate could do so, had It not been for a single objection. A bill for that purpose which had been Introduced some time ago by Mr. Hans brough (Rep., N. D.) was today re ported by him from the committee on the library; and just as the senate was on the eve of adjournment, it occurred to Mr. Hale (Rep., Me.) that it would be a nttlng and graceful thing to pass the bill today, and he asked unanimous consent to have that done. Mr. Hill (Dem.. N. T.) had contemplated offer ing an amendment to the bill adding Jackson's birthday (January 8) also to the list of national holidays, but under the peculiar circumstances he said he would withhold such amendment. Mr. Hawley (Rep., Conn.) Interposed an objection that there was danger of running to an extreme on this ques tion, like some countries where there were so many saints' days that the people were seriously deprived of op portunities to work. Abillforamemorialbrldge across the Potomac from the naval observatory grounds, Washington, to the Arlington estate, was taken up and passed, after an unsuccessful attempt on the part of Mr. Blanchard (Dem.. La.) to have half the cost chargvd to the District of Columbia. The urgent deficiency bill was taken up and some progress made In It. Rig Guns on Coinage. Several big guns were fired In the financial debate in the house today, and the proceedings were among the most interesting of the protracted dis cussion. Messrs. Dolllver, (Uep la.), and McMillin, (Dem., Tenn.), of the committee on ways and means, respec tively opposed and advocated the sen ate's free coinage substitute for the house bond bill. Mr. McCleary, (Rep., Minn.), with a series of charts and dia grams, replied to the argument of his colleague, Mr. Town, in favor of the free coinage of silver, made last Sat urday. Mr. Broslus, (Rep., Pa.), Joined these two in opposition to the senate substitute, while Messrs. Bailey, (Dem., Tex.); Underwood, (Dem., Ala.), and Cox, (Dem., Ten.), Joined Mr. Mc Millin In favor of free coinage. Mr. Brum, (Rep., Pa.), advocated the Morrill amendment, which he said he would offer. The senate joint resolution appro priating (76,000 to pay the Joint ex penses of the survey of the boundary line between Alaska and the British Ncrth American possessions, was re ported from the committee on appro priations and passed. A recess was taken until 8 o'clock to further dis cuss the bill. No Action on Cubs. It Is not expected that any action will be taken by the house foreign affairs committee with reference to the recog nition of Cuban belligerency until the correspondence sent to the house yes terday shall have been printed and placed In the hands of the members. It is desired, if a resolution looking to Cuban recognition comes before the house, that the different members shall have a proper understanding of the situation in the island, so that the question can be more intelligently dis cussed. Mr. Adams, of Pennsylvania, who is the chairman of the sub-committee having the subject in charge, does not expect to call the committee together until next week, in order that they, as well as other representatives, may have time to read and digest the correspondence tnorougnty Deiore ac ting upon the proposition.

Accident Insnranee Companies DeciJe That Rider Must Pay Double Rotes. Boston. Feb. 12. The conference of Mutual Acclient Insurance companies of the United States which assembled here to discuss the bicycle rider as an accident risk, has finished its delibera tions. The companies have unani mously resolved that bicycling is a hazardous occupation which they can not insure against ut the present rates of premium, and that Irr future the cyc ler will pay double for his insurance, or receive- less indemnity, or give up cycling so far as his accident Insurance is concerned. - The following resolutions were unan imously passed: Resolved.

The head of one of the anthracite coal roads says: "The forthcoming; in vestigation of the coal combination by the legislative committee will for one thing show that there would be no reason for an advance in the retail prices even though the tidewater prices of the companies shoutd be advanced $1 a ton. It Is the middlemen who would be responsible for any increase In the cost of coal to actual consumers. The middlemen are the ones who have been making all the money on coal, and If they put up the price on consumers the companies will probably combine to wipe them out. With an end to the warfare ttrnong the companies there will be no need for their services In marketing coal." The east bound shipments from Chi cago last week were 80,078 tons, against 61.532 tons the corresponding week last year. Of the total, the Michigan Cen tral carried 8,463 tons; Wabash, 7.462: Lake Shore, 8,16; Fort Wayne, H.899; Pan Handle, 5.704; Baltimore and Ohio, 6.815; Chicago and Grand Trunk, 0.472; Nickel Plate. 7.235; Chicago and Kile, 14.21'e; and the Big Four, 3.466 tons. The report of the Kansas Railroad commissioners for the year 1895 shows commissioners for the year 1895 mukes the total income of tne year show a net decrease as com paled with the pre ceding year of nearly $10,000,000, while the operating expenses Were reduced less than $6,000,000. Only two of twenty-six roads making reports to the board puld a dividend, and there were very small. Thirteen of the twenty 'iiur roads were In the hands of re ceivers. When locomotives were first built and begun to trundle their small loads up. and down the newly and rudely con structed railways of Kngland, the pub lic roads were, for the greatest part, crossed at grade, and the engine driver had no way of giving warning of his approach except by blowing a tin horn. But this, as may be imagined, was far from being a sufficient warning. One day in the year 1833. so runs a story of the ojifeln of the locomotive whistle, a farmer of Thornton was crossing the railway track on one of the country roads with a great load of eggs and butter. Just as he came upon the track a train approached. The engine man blew his tin horn lustily, but the farmer did not hear It. Kighty dozens of eggs and fifty pounds of butter were smashed Into an indistinguishable, unpleasant mass, and mingled with the kindling wood to which the wagon was reduced. The railway company had to pay the farmer the value of his fifty pounus of butter, his 960 eggs, his horse and his wagon. It was regarded as a very serious matter, and straight away a di rector of the company went to Atton (Iragne. where C.eorge Stephenson lived, to see If he could not Invent some thing that would give a warning more likely to be heurd. Stephenson went to work, and the next day had a -ou-trlvance. which, when attached to the engine boiler and the steam turned on, gave out a shrill, discordant sound. The railway directors, greatly delighted, ordered similar contrivances to be at tached to all the locomotives, and from that day to this the voice of the loco motive whlstleha never been 8ilent.
