Washington. Jan 6.-The so-called Loud Postal
?sill championed in the House of Representatives
by Mr Loud, of San Francisco, came up again to
<jv bv virtue of a special order, snd was the sub?
ject ot a lively If not acrimonious running debate.
?The measure, becauae of certain crudities snd dis
criminations, haa encountered the orposhion of
publishers in all perta of the country, snd this op?
position was voiced In a most vigorous manner hy
R?preaenta.tive Quigg. of New-York, and others,
who, though favoring some reforms in the present
.etond-class mall service, are yet Justly reluctant
to support so sweeping and radical an advance In
rates as that urged hy Mr. Loud and other eritioB
of the present system. Mr. Qulgg and his allies see
in the Ix>ud measure an effort to crlprle the pub?
lishers of newspapers and serials by depriving
them of certain mall privileges which have of re?
cent year* heired materially to cheapen the cost of
production and to enlarge In the public Interest
tbs circulation of newspaper and periodical litera?
ture throughout the United States. Mr. Qulgg's
speech wa* received with marked attention and
drew a round of applause from the galleries. A
vote on the bill will be taken to-morrow afternoon.
Mr. Qulgg said that the author of the bill had
been wofuliy misled by the etatement that this
class of matter was helng transmitted at a cost
of 8 cents a pound, and that, therefore, this
amount would be saved. The fallacy of the con?
clusion lay In the fact that the gentleman made
no allowance for Axed charges In the postal service.
The bill. If enacted Into law, would not dispense
with a single postmaster, clerk, raliway postal
clerk, or a single mile of mail service. Al! these
would remain and continue to Increase whether or
not the class of matter in question was kept out of
the malls The only possible saving under the bill
would he rhe in...-.finite amount actually paid to tht*
railroad cotnpa..;* ?< for carrying the matter. Mr.
Quigg contended that the bill Jeopardized the In?
terests of newspapers, newsdealers, printers and a
whol* long list of trades ahd Industries allied with
the publishing business.
Mr. Kyle 'Dcm., Mlss.V a member of the Com?
mittee on Postofflces and Fostroads. spoke In sup?
port of the MIL He said that no measure pending
In Congress within his knowledge had been the
occasion of so much interest as this. The eonimlt
tee-room contained a great mass of letters from
presidents of colleges, ministers of the Gospel, busi?
ness men and others urging the passage of the
Mil In the interest of morality, economy, good
government and clean business.
Mr. Burton (Rep., Ohiol favored the bill, and Mr.
Johnson (Rep., eal.) opposed lt ta one of his char?
acteristic speeches. The latter raised a laugh
et the expense of Mr. Burton, whom he apostro
phizeel as "the statesman from Cleveland who had
basked in the smiles of Mark Hanna."
Mr. Bromwel! (Rep.. Ohio) supported the bill In a
speech of some length. The necessity for the bill,
he said, lay first tn the state of the Government's
finances, which demanded a reduction of expenses
wherever possible, and serene! and principally, the
duty -L'onsrress owed to the youth of the country
to prorect lt from the demoralising influences of the
tratshy literature and worse that ls distributed
Woadcast over the land through the malls at the
cost of a cent a pound. Really valuable literature?,
school books, for Instance, he said, did not circulate
at p. cent a pound; the Holy Scriptures had no such
privilege unless they were cm up into parts and
l^sned aa a serial in order to defraud the revenues
<f the Government; tracts and similar publications
paid a cents a pound, while the "Old Sleuth" scri.-s
paid one cent a pound.
Mr Ogden (Dem.. La.l favored the bill.
The opposition to the bill wits turther expressed
In ? vigorous speech bjr Mr. Cummings ilum.,
M. Y.l. He said tnat the claim made by the friends
of the bill that it hael tho support of the newspaper
profession because of Its indorsement bv the News
pai?er Publishers' Association. If weeli founded,
might have caused him to swallow his convictions
and vote for the bill. But the association repre?
sented but 1<"1 out of over l.tvo dallv newapapera
of the country. Eighty-five ppr cent of ihe news?
paper circulation In the T'nited States, he said, waa
that of papers of less than MM copies, and lt was
against this class of publications that the bil! would
operate.
.***: ?*?to"J?' 'RT-. N- Y ) asked Mr. Cummings
ir ne-, thought the Post office Department ought to
be a circulating libra ry
"I believe." Mr. Cummings answerr-d vehemently,
that the Postoffw Department ought to obey
the law. and that the Postmaster-General should
not do as the Secretary of State has done, and sav
to Congress: > cu ran tmm , ]aw b?, wf.-n (]n M
wa please about putting lt into execution.' " (Ap.
p'r,use. i
Mr. Cummings read letters from owners and
editors of trade, religion-.. aRrlcultur.il and other
publications, urging the defeat of the bill He
protested against irs pa*sa_e in the name of thou?
sands of employe*, whnee m?ans of livelihood
wou.d be Injuriously sffected bv Its operation.
Times are hard, he said, "and this bill will not
tend to make them easier. It ls a bil) drawn In
ihe Interest of loose bonus; lt Is a hill drawn In
the Interest* of express companies, and don't von
forget lt. X.nder cover of correcting a single'al
leged abuse In Its operation, you are asked to strike
down a law that has produced more books and
Cone more for literature than any other law ever en
a-ted. Members on the Democratic side of the
House should remember that free literature |? a
part of free trade, and let no Free-Trader here
vote to put a protective tariff upon hooks and
newspapers."
At the conclusion of Mr cur-m1n-R.? rf.marks
the committee arose, and at 4 40 0>lock the House
adjourned until to-morrow.

IN THE CYCLING WORLD.
TO REFORM EASTERN* TRACK RACING.
THE BOARD OF TRADE ANNt'AI. MEETING?A
DEAD IN TIRES CLOUD -HOW 1HDOOR RAC?
ING CAN PK MAI'E SKCIRK-DAILY
CYCUE Ml ETINGS I'ROVOSKD
The track-owners of the East have almost made
up their minds to try to make some needed reforms
In cycle racing The owners think that the riders
have had too much of a good thing and that
somerhlng should be done to protect the interests
of the public and the track-owners. A meeting
of the owners an I managers of tracks mav be held
In this city within a few days, at which lt ls
said that representatives will be present from the
Manhattan Beach track, the Charl-*, River tr*ick
at Boston, the Tioga track at Philadelphia, the
track at Springfield nnd the other Important places*
in the Eastern district, and an attempt will be
made to arrange a circuit avoiding as far as possi?
ble a conflict of dates.
The president of the National Cycle Board of
Trade has Just Issued a call for the annual meeting
of the stockholders, to be held at the offices of
the corporation. No. 271 Broadway, on January
20 at 19'M a. m. In accordance with the usual cus?
tom, lt ls expected that this meeting will ba ad?
journed to the week of the National Cycle Exhi?
bition which is to be held at the rirand Central
Palace of Industry, New-York, February 6 to 13,
and lt ls likely that this adjourned moating will
bc held in the Concert Hall of the Grand Centra'.
Palace on February 10. At this meeting the elec?
tion of thirteen directors and of the officers for
the ensuing year will be held, new members will
be elected and other business of importance to the
association will be, transacted.
Lack of proper management In impromptu races
and road runs causes endless discussion, and thia
will contlnuo to be the case until some means of
conducting properly these races haa been devised.
In Brooklyn the riders are quarrelling over the annu?
al race to Coney Island, while the races to Yonkere
and Tarrytown from this city on New Year's morn?
ing caused more complaint. In the latter race lt
was asserted that two members of the Riverside
Wheelmen. Messrs. Bedell and Tomllnson, started
ahead of time, and secured the bottles of wine of?
fered, to the first riders to arrive in the new year.
Now, Bedell and Tomllnson, who rode a tandem, say
that they did start ahead of time, and they offer
an apology to the public and to their club. Tne pair
say that they started as soon as they had reeeiveel
their checking numbers, whleh waa at 11:53 p. m.
The race consequently belongs to Goodman and
Brown.
With the approach of the Cycle Show, to be held
In the Grand Central Palnce, the actual cycle busi?
ness of the year begins. Many important deals of
interest to the trade are being made, and many
more are contemplated. The organization of the
alleged rubber tire trust, to be run on lines similar
to that of the Dunlop Syndicate In England, has
caused some comment in the trade. Whatever has
been dorie has been accomplished quietly, however.
and little positive Information can be secured. One
deal which was made yesterday may or may not
have any bearing on the subject, but the Informa?
tion regarding it is authentic. R. L. Coleman, pres?
ident of the Western Whee! Works, has clo?ed a
deal by which the Dunlop tires will be fitted to al.
Crescent wheels for UR. This, of course, wll; give
customers an option on other tire**, if they desire.
The tire is a double detachable tube.
The Florida Amusement Company ls arranging
for a three days' bicycle meeting to be held at
Jacksonville. Fla., from January IR to 2R. There will
le six races on the first two days and Ave races on
the third dav. Two match ra~es between Linton
and Michael are announced. The contests will take
pl.-ic at Panama Park.
vice-President Voorhls of the Riverside Wheel
men has glv^-n Indoor bicycle racing much thought.
He ls of the opinion that such races can be made as
safe, or almost as safe, as racing on the banked
tracks outdoors. Mr. Voorhls believes that strips of
cork can be laid around the corners of the tracks In
the different armories, and that If lt Is done prop?
erly few slips and accidents will occur. He says
that small wire nails can be used which will not In?
jure the floors a particle. He thinks that cork will
be better than canvas.
C. A. Benjamin, the manager of E. C. Bald, was ir.
the city yesterday. He says that he has travelled
considerably lately In Ohio and Pennsylvania, and
that most of the cyclists he has come In contact
with are warm supporters of Dane B, Potter for the
presidency of the '.eague e.f American Wheelmen.
Bald wlllbe In the city to-day. when lt may be de?
termined whether he will go to Europe or not.
There la likely to be a confli-t between the Co?
lumbia College undergraduates and the Intercol
leRlate Bicycle Association. Each has applied for
the rental of the track at Manhattan Beach for
Decoration Day. As lt will require two days, possl
blv to decide the Intercollegiate championships,
lt ls possible that Columbia may decide to select
another day. This will Interfere also with the an?
nual Irvlngton-Mllhum race.
Some cycle racing promoters are talking about
havinc dilly cycle racing at a local track next
season, to which no admission will be charged.
They seem to think that they will be able to run
the races on the proceeds from the sale of priv?
ileges. _
Some of the friends of Chief Consul Potter are
discussing the advisability of arranging a dinner
for him when he returns from his honeymoon next
week.
Cyclists desiring to Join th" T .ea gi ie of American
Wheelmen may obtain full printed Information and
membership blanks by sending names and ad?

Dr J. W. Day. preslelent of the New-York State
Trottlng-Horso Breeders' Association, addressed
a well-attended meeting of the admirers of the

Judge H. M. Whitehead waa selected to act as

ter, will h.- the Speaker of the Assembly. Mr.
O'Grady's hope of obtaining the office wns fulfilled
to-nlg'ht bv his selection as candl.lnte for Speaker
by the ll.". Republican namban of the Assembly.
As the Rf-'publican len.ler In the Assembly last year,
and as chairman of the Committee on Ways and
Means, he became an expert parliamentarian anel
thoroughly conversant with State affairs. Ile
wns In the direct line of promotion is soon as
Speaker Fish announcr-d thal he would not return
ti the Assembly th:s year. If wns therefore not
surprising that he should encounter no opposition
In his canvass for Bpaaker. The county of Monroe,
of which Mr O'Orady ls a representative, ls one of
the leading Republican counties of the State, nnd lt

sons and Hanson lt baa the ablest body of repre
sentatlvea, as a whole, of .'my county In the State. It
ls quite natural that the representatives of the
county have a commanding place in both the Senate
and the Assembly, and that one of them has now
rfached the Speakership
The political depths Into which the Democratic
party hrs fallen in this State was illustrated hy?
the selection made by th-- Democratic Assembly?
men of a candidate for Bpaaker. The man they
chose was "Dan" Finn, for many years a liquor
dealer and a Tammany Hall Assembly district
leader.
The Republican Assembly caucus was short and
undeniably sweet to the men nominated for office.
There was not a contest for any office. One Re?
publican Assemblyman was preaent who was gazed
at with a great deal of curiosity. This was Fred
ertck A. Robbins, elected as an Independent Repub?
lican from Allegany County. There had been threats
of excluding him from the caucus, but he was
present, believing himself to he ss good a Repub?
lican as any of those present There was no roll
call, and therefore his presenec was not officially
recognized. "I shall attend every caucus until I
strtke a snag." said Mr Robbins. The members
of the Republican machine evidently thought lt
beat not to meddle with bim at present.
Assemblyman Austin, of New-York, called the
caucus to order, and named S Fred Nixon, of
Chautauqua, for chairman. Mr. Nixon made a
short spech. One year ago, he said, In the Assem?
bly Chamber, he had predicted a Republican victory
In the State and Nation. He waa gratified tl at tho
prediction had come true. With McKinley In the
White House prosperity would come. A Repub?
lican Governor had been Inaugurated, fmm whom
much was expected and from whom much would
come. He called upon the Republicans to be loyal
to the people of the State.
"Our Democratic friends," h? revrttlnued. "thought
that they were to h? the rulers of the State forever,
and became Indifferent to the wishes of the people.
Do not let us think that present supremacy surely
means permanent supremacy- Tarty su.-.ess con
sis|s In keeping the ear close to the ground snd
listening and respecting what tin* people have to
say. I tmst we will pass bills In th.-ir Interest."
Mr. Ives, of St. Lawrence County, was elected
secretary of the caucus. Mr. Armstrong placed
Mr. O'Ora.ly In nomination as a candidate for
Speaker In simple, Straightforward style. He spoke
of Mr. 0*Orad*s**a ability and integrity, and de
clared that he was an admirable leaeler of tho As?
sembly In 1S!i.> and would be a courteous and able
Speaker. Mr. Brennan, of Hrooklyn. seconded the
nomination. Mr O'Grndy wn.s then selected by
acclamation as the Republican candidate for Speak
er.
Mr. Austin nominated Colonel Archie K. Baxter
for clerk, and Mr. Horton seconded the nomina?

acclamation. The other candidates for officers of

HYDRAULIC DREDGING MONOPOLY.
A R BOWKRSVS CLAIMS AS I>T*/*ENTOR 81*8
TAINKD BY THE COl'RT OF APPEAL8.
flan Franc'.s.-o. Jan 6.?Ry a decision of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeala. handed down yes?
terday, A. B. Bowers virtually owns a monopoly of
the hydraulic dredging business The decision. Mr.
Bowers estimate*, Ib worth to him all the way from
IR.iW.ofio to fl5,ono.ono. The decision came in the suit
of Bowers against Von Schmidt, which is one among
many cases, but the decision ls euppOBed to end
nearly all the others. The language of the decision
ls that Mr. Bower* ls the orlglral inventor of the
hydraulic dredger, and his patents are entitled to
broad and liberal construction.
The fight has been going on for eight years, and
testimony his been taken sufficient to cover 477
large printed pages No less than eighteen suite are
now In the courts against alleged Infringements of
these patents, and some twenty others are about to
be entered. Among the former are suits against the
Pacific Improvement t'ompany, the American Dredg?
ing e'ompany, the Oakland Iron Works, the New
York Dredelne Company, ihe San Francisco Bridge
f'ompany, Pacific Coast Dredging and Reclamation
Company, American Hydraulic Dredging Company.
I/in.lon W. Rates Hydraulic Dredging and Improve?
ment -"ompany and thc City of Oakland.
This Involves a check to a number of big con?
tracts, notably the dredging of the Oakland harbor,
the big drainage canal at Chicago and the dredg?
ing of the city waterway In the harbor of Tacoma.
These big Jobs, undertaken by rival companies with
the objectionable dredccrs. may not be stopped, but
they will have to go forward on a basis of settle
ment with Mr. Bowers
The decision ls far-reaching. It will put dredg?
ing, so far as lt ts done by hydraulic suction. In the
hand* of A. R. Rowers, and this not only ap?
ollo* to the work goin? on In tht* country and
t to ro on, but big contracts elsewhere, no'ably
t some in Japan and Russian harbors. The defend
I anti In the suits still to be brought Include cor
I DOtratlons, private Individuals. Cnited States engi?
neers and the I'nlted States (iovernment. It ls
likely, however, that compromises will be effected
and that thev will be required to pay a royalty for
using their dredgers.

A LIVELY GALE WHILE IT LASTED.
The German steamship Sophie Blckmers, which
reached this harbor yesterday from Hamburg,
went through a gale on Christmas Day that threat?
ened to send thc gejod ship to the bottom. To make
the nest of a bad Job, the vessel was headed up
Into the teeth of the gale. Great seas c?me tum?
bling over the bows, and swept her deck of all
movable objects. The ventilators were smaahed,
the funnel was twisted into a corkscrew, and
even deck flttlngr were torn from their fastenings.
Rut worst of all. the steam steering gear became
fouled, and five men had to be detailed to the main
steering wheel to keep the vessel's head to the
wind The gale lasted about eight hours and Cap.
tain Brunst said lt was about the shortest and
about the severest he had ever met.
