Mr. McKinley (Ohio) hoped that the case would be disposed of to-day, or that Its consideration would be postponed forone week. He had important business to attend to during the remainder of the week, and it would be very inconvenient for him to be present. MI ner expressed his willingness to accommo- date Mr. McKinley by proceeding with the case to- day; but yielded to Mr. Randall, of Pa., who wished tosecure’ the passage of the three appropriation bills which were agreed to in the committee of the Whole on Friday last. To this, however, Mr. Collins (Mass.) objected. ‘This was probably the last committee suspension day there would be during the session, and there ‘were several important measures to be considered.

GREAT GATHERING OF BICYCLISTS. OONVENTION AT FORD'S OPERA HOUSE. THE PROGRAM OF PARADES AND RACES, ‘The fifth annual meet of the League of American ‘Wheelmen commenced its sessions at Ford’s Opera House this morning. Karly Saturday morning the Incoming trains brought @ number of bicyclers from different cities, and the evening trains were crowded with them. They were met at the sta- tions by committees from the Washington Cycle Club and the Capital Bi Club and e-corted to their respective quarters. Yesterday morning the number of visitors was lamgely augmented, and during the day the city and surrounding country Mterally swarmed with enthusiastic ridera The handsome uniforms of the men and the Deautiful machines they rode made “a. very pretty sight as they fitted here and there, ‘The Capital club arranged a sertes of Tuns for the visitors yesterday, which were greatly enjoyed. At eight o'clock in "the morning Messrs, ‘Crossman and Church escorted a party of twenty- five through the Soldiers’ Home grounds. At 10:3) Capt. Hannsmann started a long procession from the “club house bound for Cabin John bridge. ‘Tere were one hundred and forty men in line. About twenty were Capital boys, and the remainder were delegations from’ the Philadelphia club, Senside club, of Nor- folk; Alpha club, of Bethlehem, Pal; Keystone club, of Pittsburg: East Bridgewater, Mass; New York club, and Marietta, Pa., club, Trojan wheel- men from ‘Troy, N. ¥., and Kings county, N. Wheelmen. In ‘the afternoon a party of sevei five was escorted onaten mile run through the city, and another of about twenty-five to Arlington, ‘The'visitors are loud in praise of our beautiful and Smooth streets. A feature of the league meet will Le @ parade of wheelmen to-night through the streets, each rider carrying a Chinese lantern. ‘The League Convention. Bieycles were stacked all around Ford's opera house this morning, and natty-looking young gen- temen in knee breeches and short Jackets were in such numbers as to make a man tn full-length trousers and coat-tafls Teel as though he were out ofstyle. ‘The stage and interior of the opera house ‘Were decorated with flags and shields. A private eeling of the Board of government was held tn the gallery of the theater before the public sessions opened. THE GOVERNING BOARD, ‘which fs the legislative boty of the league, consists of the officers of the league, viz: President, N. |, Malon Beckwith, New York Citizens’ Bicycle club; vice president, W. N. Miller, Columbus (Ohio) Buck- eye Bicycle Club: “corresponding secretary and . V. Gilman, Springtield (Mass) Bics- cle club; "recording secretary, A.S. Hibbard, Mil- waukee (Wis) Bicycle club, ‘The other ofticers com- prise the chief constis and representatives of ¥s Hous states and divisions in America, Canada and England. UNUSUAL INTEREST attaches to the meeting of the league on account of the reported dissatisfaction of some of the mem- bers, and an Intention on thelr part to move to dis- solve the league. These reports arose out of the withdrawal from the league of the Citizens’ club of New York on the 13th inst. ‘The Citizens’ club, in withdrawing, made a statement, saying that thelr Teason for so doing was “that the club does not con sider it advisable that Its members should be under the control of another organization, which recent events have shown to be pract cally the case.” At a caucus of oflicers and leading members of the Lei last evening thls matter was considered, and it was thought harmony would prevail. "Rev. LH. Schneider, of this city, one of the members of the Doard of covernment,’said to a Stak reporter this morning, “We have been TREADING ON A VOLCANO which threatened an eruption, but I think now that, the fires have been dampened.” Another promi- nent member of the League said that the majority of the members of the League would stand by the ofganization tll the last, and any motion to dis- ¢ Would be made ridiculous by the unanimity with which it would be voted down. The Citizen's club, he sald, withdrew a a club, but its members, as Individuals, were still members of the League: Asaclub it could not hold its membership, as 1 had one member who was not a member Of the 2. OPENING OF THE CONVENTION. It was half-past eleven o'clock before the meet- ing of the board of government Was ended. Mean- while the wheelmen were assembling in the halt ‘When the president, Dr. Beckwith, appeated on the Platform he was greeted, with great” applause and all kinds of club“call.” When lent Beck- with called the meeting to order he announced that the board of officers had had a very harmonious and satisfactory meeting. Mr. W. H. Miller, of the Buckeye club, of Colum- bus, Ohio, opened "the proceedings by presenting the president with a gavel. ‘The president announced Mr. Stephen Terry, of Hartford; .W H. Miller, of Columbus, Ohio, and E. F. Hill, of Peekski, N, Y., as the committee on cre- dentials, and arecess was taken while members handed in their credentials. ‘THE TORCHLIGHT PARADE TO-NIGHT. During the recess, Mr. Pelouze, of the Washing- ton Cycle club, made a number of announcements, stating that the Cycle club had arranged for a torehiight procession to-night.
