Discussion of the bond bill occupied the attention of the House yesterday after- noon and evening. The feature of the de- bate yesterday was a strong speech from Mr. Johnson (Cal.), appealing to his repub- lican colleagues to vote against the Dill. | He scored the republican leaders for bring- | ing in the bill. He said he had voted for the revenue measure the day before under protest, but he refused to follow them on the present bill. inyolved a surrender of principle, he de- clared, would never succeed. Speeches were made by Messrs. Dingley (Me.), Gros- venor (Ohio), Turner (Ga.), (Tenn.), Swanson (Va.) and Lacy (lowa.) At the evening session the speakers were Mr. Wheeler (Ala.), who closed his argu- ment against the gold standard; Mr. Terry (Ark.), Mr. Underwood (Ala.), Mr. Welling- ten (Md.), who favored the bill; Wil- son (Iaho), a republican, to it; Mr. Daniels (N. Y.), who encouraged the republicans to pass it . Bowers (Cal), | who, though a republican, declared that the bill was based on the demand of the stock gamblers of Wall ‘street.

Press, | KEY WEST, Fla., December Havana was thrown into a panic yesterday by a | daring act of the insurgents. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon a band of mounted revolu- tionists, numbering probably 1, dashed at full speed into Palmira, a populous sub- urb of Havana. As the raiders galloped thrcugh the streets they fired their re- volvers, which terrified the inhabitants, many of whom fied into Havana, and an- nounced that the insurgents were advancing | on the city. The news spread rapidly and | caused the wildest excitement. The report | soon reacked the palace, and Acting Gov- } ernor General Arderius got all the Spanish | treops under arms to repel the expected ut- ; tack, and ordered a regiment to Palmira to reconnoiter. When the troops reached the suburb they found that the raiders had sacked three drug stores and retreated. The raiders told the druggists the medici was needed for the insurgent sick. Hava did not recover from its alarm for hours, and last night the Spanish guards were doubled. oes ON WHEELS. Why They Make n More Graceful Ap- pearance Than Men. Harper's Magazine. The year 1 will be known in history as the great bicycle year. in the advance of women, and consequently in the evolution of society. It is true that women heretofore, here and there, have been trying the machines tn an apologetic, shamefaced sort of way, but in this year they have boldly come to the front as riders, challenging male competition, and making a fashion of that which before w: an eccentricity. Since the Queen of Italy teck to the wheel there*has been no doubt of the propriety of doing so; and although the queen who is more widely respected and loved than any other ruler in her gen- eration hi for reasons of ‘weight’ and state, refrained from this pas' sser royalties and nobilities and Je ion have taken it up enthusiastical! | there has been a sudden and gener: movement of the sex, |} all round the globe—a mounting in hot | haste in England, on the continent and in the United Siates. Bicycling is not a graceful performance for man or woman, neither in trousers nor skirts, nor in any hybrid costume which has been devised. But women are more graceful in it than men, because they more erect and have a regard for appear- ance, 1 do not hump the back and imi- tate the cunning attitude of the monkey on the ring pory. The treading action can- not be made graceful, however prettily and skillfully it may be done. It is doubt- ful whether the skirt, which gives the rider the ap rance of “wallowing” along, is any addition to the attractiveness of the wheel. Women may ride in tights, but it is cer- tain that men never will adopt the skirt. It is too dangerous, Man has not courage to risk the complications of an overthrow in a skirt. But whatever costume women may finally settle on for this aret it is certain that they will not be driven from the wheel. +, and 1 wheei Imost simultaneous soo Bicyele Une In the “Cycle Notes* of the -Scientific ‘American we find,'in oe week, three new uses of the nineteenth century chariot.

Challenges a Sheriff to Hi With a Seven-Foot D: the Cincinnati Enquirer, Jake Wolfin, “the iron man,” is the latest wonder in the athletic world. On several occasions Mr. Wolfin, while at work, has lifted articles that had a dead weight of 1,000 pounds. When receiving blows from the clenched fists of prize fighters on any part of his body he stands as immovable as the Colossus uf Rhodes. He contracts his muscles at any point in his body as quickly as a flash of lightning. He can gauge and receive the blows from an antagonist as swiftly as they can be dealt, and they will fall upon his fron muscles as if they had lighted on a statue of stone. It is said that he contemplates training for the purpose of one day wearing the belt of the prize ring, and from the exhibi- tions he has given in Chicago and other plac there are many good judges who believe he will accomplish his motive.
