Invasion of the Bicycle. “Three years ago German manufacturers honestly believed that, but for the import duty, they and their English rivals could monopolize the American market for bi- cycles and sewing machines. Since then the American-made bicycle has invaded successfully every important European market, and not only in quality, but in price, has made the competition in Ger- many so keen that the local makers now demand the imposition of a special high duty on American wheels as essential to their future existence. The _steel-bridge builders of Belgium and Great Britain have been surprised to find themselves underbid for the construction of an important bridge in Holland by a company in Philadelphia, and the leading makers of electrical ma- chinery in the United States have set a standard of cheapness, prompt delivery. efficiency and economy of service, especial- ly in electrical railway plants, with which their European rivals find it difficult to compete. “It is but natural that, these facts once recognized, the utmost use should be made of them in these older countries as argu- ments in favor of concessions and privil- eges which have hitherto been generally Withheld. Throughout the prolonged strike of machinists in England, the most effec- tive plea of the employers has been that without the concessions that they demand from their employes, future competition with American engineers will be impossible, and the supremacy of Great Britain in that field irretrievably lost.

German economists point to the 18,000,000 tons of freight which pass annually through the single lock at the Sault Ste. Marie canal as an argument in favor of the further improvement and ex- tension of German waterways, and to the unexampled economy and effictency of American railway freights as an appeal against the inert, exorbitant rates of the state railroads in Germany. * * * Freight Rates Reduced. “It is not improbable that these appeals will have, in the near future, a more or less important effect.

Neither is it any longer sufficient for machinery and other merchandise to be *exhibited only at Lon- don or Paris. In order to reach the Ger- man trade, they must be shown, and, in case of a machine, set up and put to work at Berlin or some otHer large German city. “In respect to machine tools and some other classes of machinery, there is, of course, as a reverse side of the medal, the fact that all this eager adoption of Ameri- can equipment and methods is only a Established 1643.

They therefore petition the govern- ment to open the frontiers to the free im- portation of animals and meats from Eu- ropean countries, and to restrict by all practicable means the import of meats from America, which ts steadily increasing from year to year. The whole agricultural population is arrayed against the vast im- portations of wheat, corn and oats from the western hemisphere; and measures are un- der consideration to break the contri which has beer gained in the German mar- ket by American petroleum. * * * “While, therefore, the restriction against the importation of live cattle may con- tinue, and the trade in American meais be surrounded with annoying and costly for- malities, the question of food imports to Germany is one in respect to which the in- terests of their own people will constrain the authorities to resist the agrarian de- mand for prohibitive measures. There can be no sérious combination between Euro- pean nations to make the cost of food per- manently dear. The lesson which they are learning from our country is to cheapen the cost of production, while improving the quality, not only of manufactured goods, but, wherever possible, of agricultural products as well. “The rallying cry of the present moment in the beet sugar industry is that sugar manufacture must be cheapened and made free and independent of export bounties. “Another valuable suggestion which Ger- many, as well as other European countries, is receiving from the United States, is the importance of small things in practical mechanics and technology, the market value of an apparently simple device or im- provement which enables one of the con- secutixe operations in a process of manu- facture to be performed better or more cheaply than has been done before. “From all that can be foreseen, it would appear that competition in Germany will sharpen and become more determined a3 Processes are improved and the whole econ- emy of production brought more and more nearly upon equal terms. The contest will be one between natural resources, the in- Yentive capacity to economize labor, reduce freights, save waste of material, and, above all, the ability to skillfully sell surplus products in foreign markets. In all these, except the last; Americans are acknowl- edged masters. When they learn and act unitedly upon the knowledge that foreign trade must be found, developed and main- tained by the same means that have been so effectively employed at home—by the persistent personal efforts of competent salesmen, showing the goods in presence of the customer and offering them to him in the weights, values and measures, and upon terms of sale and payment that pre- vail in foreign markets—there need be no tear of the result.” ee —— WEIGHING OF COAL. Sealer of Weights and Measures Is- sucs a Statement. The sealer of weights and measures has called attention to the fact that there is a misunderstanding among dealers and oth- ers respecting his authority to take up coal in wagons and carts for the purpose of verifying the weights. For general in- formation he quotes the law as found in sections 13, 14, 15 and 16 of the act ap- proved March 2, 1895, and now in force in the District. It is as follows: Sec. 13. “That no person in charge of the Wagon or conveyance used in delivering coal, to whom the certificate mentioned in section 6 of this act has been delivered, shall neglect or refuse to exhibit such cer- tificate to the sealer or the assistant sealer of weights and measures, or to any person designated by them, or to the purchaser or intended purchaser’ of the coul being de- livered; and-when said officers, person so designated, or such purchaser or intended purchaser shall demand that the weight shown by such certificate be verified, it shall be the duty of the person delivering such coal to convey the same forthwith to some public scale of the District or to any private scale the owner whereof shall con- sent to such use, and to permit the verify- ing of the weight shown, and shall, after the delivery of such coal, return forthwith, with the wagon or conveyance used, to the same scale and verify the weight of the Wagon or conveyance. Sec. 14. “That it shall be the duty of the sealer of weights and measures to inspect, or cause to be inspected and tested, the weight of coal sold or delivered as afore- said within the District of Columbia, and to take the proceedings necessary to en- force the provisions of this act. Sec. 15. “That any person who shall vio- late or shall neglect or refuse to comply with the provisions of this act, or any per- son who shall deliver or attempt to deliver coal of less weight than that set down in the certificate hereinbefore mentioned, shall be punished with a fine not to exceed $100 and costs of prosecution; and the court may make a further sentence that the offender be imprisoned in the District Jail until the payment of such fine and costs: Provided, That the term of such im- prisonment shail not exceed six months. Sec. 16. “That all laws and ordinances in- censistent with @he provisions of this act be, and the same are hereby, repealed. “The object of this procedure,” Mr. Has- kell says, ‘is not to in any way embarrass the dealers, but to educate them and their employes to be more careful in the weigh- ing of the coal. We have not found any- thing to indicate that there has been any disposition on the part of the dealers to intentionally give short weight; but have found over weights as well as short weights which satisfy us that there is, in many in- stances, carelessness in the weighing of coal. Our only object in having the wagons and carts inspected is to protect the Public as well as the dealers; to see that the law pertaining to these matters is obeyed and at the same time extend all courtesies pos- sible to those interested.” SENATOR WHITE MADE CHAIRMAN, Meeting of the Democratic Congres- mal Committee. The democratic congressional committee held their first meeting last night and se- lected Senator White of California as chair- man, to succeed Senator Faulkner, who declined re-election. An organization com- mittee of seven was appointed to select @ successor to Secretary Lawrence Gardner and to perfect the organization. The meeting was quite fully attended, thirty-three members being present, which, allowing for the several “orphan states,” made almost a full representation. An un- expected dark horse developed in Senator Cockrell of Missouri, who was defeated by Senator White by a vote of 18 to 15. As to the secretaryship, it is generally understood that Lawrence Gardner, the present incumbent, will retire. The most Prominent candidate before the organiza- tion committee is James Kerr, former clerk of the House. The meeting adopted a resolution reaf- firming its adherence to the Chicago plat- form. : ——e——_____ Patent Office Reclassification. After hearing the assistant commission- er of patents and others in support of the measure yesterday, the House committee on patents authorized the chairman, Mr. ‘Hicks, to report favorably to the House @ bill to establish a reclassification in the patent office. The bill reported is a sub- stitute for the bill previously introduced. A QUESTION OF VERACITY Mr, Bailey and the Speaker Dispute Each Other's Word. Mo m to Recommit the Diplomatic BIl—The Occasion for an Exciting Scene in the House. Speaker Reed, from the rostrum of the House, and Mr. Bailey, leader of the demo- crats, from his place on the floor, glared at each other at the close of the Cuban debate yesterday afternoon and joined an issue of veracity. This sensational episode com- Fletcly overshadowed the interest in the Cuban debate, which had continued unin- terruptedly in the House for three days during the consideration of the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill: Notice had been given by Mr. Williants ( Miss.) that at the conclusion of the debate yester- day a motion would be made to recommit the bill with instructions. When the motion was made by Mr. Batley it was ruled out of order by the Speaker. Mr. Bailey there- upon startled the House by affirming that he had had a private understanding with the Speaker by which a vote should be taken directly on the motion to recommit. This the Speaker empnatically denied, and these two leaders of their respective parties in the House, with white faces and voices shaken by emotion, set their statements against each other, while the galleries looked on in breathless amazement and the members were in an uproar. Mr. Smith (Mich.), who said he was pres- ent, corroborated the Speaker's side of the case. The result of the Speaker's position was that an appeal was taken from his decision, and by a strict party vote it was laid on the table, 168 to 114, the democrats and populists, aston the two previous days. voting against the solid republican strength. The debate yesterday was not as interesting as on either of the two preced- ing days. The features were a character- istic speech by Champ Clark (Mo.), a strong appeal for conservatism from Mr. Johnson (Ind.), a presentation of the re- sults of his observations in Cuba during his recent trip to the island from Mr. King | (Crap, and an hour's speech by Mr. ‘Ding- ley (Me.) in explanation of the causes of the reduction of the wages in the New Eng- land cotton industry. Mr. Bailey's Protest. At 4 o'clock the committee rose under the arrangement made the day before, and re- ported the bill to the House. One of the most dramatic and sensational episodes of this Congress followed. The Speaker of the House and Mr. Bailey of Texas, the democratic leader, clashed on a question of veracity and the excitement rose to the boiling point. The Texan moved to recom- mit the bill with instructions to the com- mittee to report it back with an amend- ment embodying the terms of the Senate Cuban belligerency resolution. Mr. Hitt immediately made the point of order that the amendment was not ger- mane and was obnoxious to the rule egainst new legislation. This point the Speaker promptly sus- tained. Mr. Bailey, surrounded by a group of democrats, protested that the agreement made yesterday included provision for a Vote on the motion to recommit. Mr. Hitt denied this, saying that the no. tice of the motion to recommit was given afterward. There was much confusion While Mr. Hitt was talking, and when he conchided Mr. Bailey suddenly é@lectrified the House with the statement that he had had a distinct understanding to that effect with the Speaker of the House. “The chair states that the gentleman from Texas is mistaken,” retorted the Speaker from the chair in the must em- phatic tones. The Speaker looked the Texan straight in the eye, and His voice quivered with emotion. “The chair never agreed that a motion, which was plainly out of order, would bo entertained. The gentleman notified me that there would be no further opposition.” “And I make the statement,” declared Mr. Bailey without flinching, “that we did have such an agreement.’ He, too, was evidently laboring under Sreat stress of feeling. By this time the House was in an uproar and the Spectators in the galleries were looking on with amaze- ment. Mr. Batley proceeded to explain the circumstances under which he alleged the agreement was made. He said that some of the members on his side desired to attend the funeral of a distinguished ex- member (Mr. Butterworth) yesterday af- ternoon, but they desired to remain if there were to be any votes. He had ap- proached the Speaker. he said, with the Proposition of a vote on the motion to re- commit. The chair had assented, he de- clared, and he had so informed his col- league: “I never knew until this motion was presented,” interrupted Mr. Hitt, “what the instructions were to be.” “The chair again states that no agree- ment was made,” said the Speaker, looking down on the turbulent scene before him, “and if corroboration is needed he has just been informed by a gentleman who was present—” The Speaker Corroborated. “I think the chair will need corrobora- tion,” interrupted Mr. Bailey emphatically. “I again oppose my statement against that of the Speaker.” The confusion at this point was very great, but the voice of Mr. Smith (Mich.) could be heard shouting above the tumult that he had been present, and that no agreement had been made. “The chair is willing to rest the case on the statement made by him,” declared the Speaker, as he beat the desk with his gavel in his attempt to restore order. Mr. Bailey thereupon appealed from the decision of the chair, and Mr. Dalzell moved to lay the appeal on the table. The roll was called amid much confusion, but party lines were unbroken, and by a vote of 168 to 114 the appeal was laid on thé table. The bill was then passed, 158 to 95, and at 4:40 p.m. the House adjourned. ——__e—_.. SENATOR MORGAN CONCLUDES. Teller Begt to Speak o1 Hawalian Treaty. The four days’ speech of Senator Morgan on the Hawalian treaty was concluded in the Senate yesterday afternoon. He spoke for almost four hours, and when he fin- ished there were not more than half a doz- en senators present. He discussed, among other questions, the character of the pres- ent government of Hawali. He contended that the disposition of the whites was to freat’the Kanakas liberally, and said, in re- ply to a question from Senator Hoar, that there was one native in PresidentDole's cab- inet, and five natives in the senate, while a majority of the members of the house were the ————~e+___. ‘The Spanish Minister's Advices.
