COMBINATION AND COMPETITION
Au Interesting Toplo Ably
at the Annual Bniuiuct of
the Boston Merchants'
AHHOOlUllOII.
Cooler on Intor-Stnto l nw.
BOSTON" , Mass. , Jan. 8. The annual dinner
of the Bosron Merchants' association , which
took place this evening In the Hotel Vcn-
dome , proved an occasion of unusual signifi
cance. Among the Invited guests were the
following : Chairman Cooley , of the inter-
state'conunerco commission i Prof.Klchurd K.
Kly , President Copcn , of Tuft's ' college ; Gen-
cr.d Frauds A. Wa'ker ' , Joslah Bentoti , jr. ,
nnd General iN. P. Banks. After dinner
"Combination and Competition" was nn-
iioiinci'il as tne topic for discussion. Judge
Cooley was the first speaker. Ho said in part :
"Tho urgent call for a modification of the
act which comes from railroad circles bus
sprung up recently. The period woich the
law operated most to the benefit of the rail-
rnnds was precisely that during which its
provisions were best observed. I think that
au undeniable fact , nnd if il is , it Is deserv
ing of more attention than up to this time it
has received from the managers of
thn railroads. It was also the
period during which the law was
complained of least. There are very vigorous
complaints now. They relate mainly to the
clause of the net which forbids u greater
charge on the shorter haul on the same line
In thu same direction whore the circum
stances nnd conditions are similar , and that
which makes pooling unlawful.
'I'ho first mentioned clause embodied tlio
principle of right in itself. In
largo sections of the country , roads
have como into conformity with it
nnd not suffered los from doing so. In
others It was not practicable to do so , nt
least immediately , but the dilMcultlcs will
diminish us tlio managers como to a better
understanding among themselves. The law
intends that the railroad business of the
country shall be done openly nail with
full publicity. Tills equal und just
purpose Is defeated by contriv
ances that are clearly opposed
to the intent of the law , if not to its terms.
Now , when parties are thus busy In con
triving methods for rendering the laws of no
effect , nnd their evasions of its purpose are
scon to liavo n direct tendency to diminish
corporative revenues , they are hardly the
parties to put themselves upon the stand to
prove that the law is injuring their roads.
"I must insist that the iirgumont now made
for pooling is radically unsound and vicious ,
bcoausB it rests upon the ussumution that a
violation of law by one is a justification for
violation by another. Poolinu with legal
sanction would have nil thp elements of weakness -
ness that attended the old pooling , except
one. When the pool , as it used to be formed ,
broke up , there was no enforcing such obli
gations ns had been incurred while it existed.
Tliera was no compelling payment of bal
ances. With legalized pooling there might
bo ttio power to do tins. Pools antagonize
the leading ami most valuable principle of
industrial life In their attempt , not to control
competition merely , but to put an end to it.
All these things go to show that something
else needs reforming besides law.
"A crying evil In the railroad Horvico is a
combination between the scalper and un
scrupulous general passeneer agent. Tliis
will be broken tip just as soon as there is ap
plied in railroad matters the maxims of busi
ness prudence which arc expected to control
in other interests. If combination in the
same person of the two characters of the rail
road manager in whatever olllcial position
and of its speculation in railroad stocks ,
could be rendered impossible , wo might hope
to see the time when the question of what is
right und wrong m railroad matters would
be heard a coed deal oftencr than it is now ,
and the question of what can bo done in the
evasion of the law without encountering its
penalties a good deal more frequently. "
SCALPING THM SOAIjPRl S.
Western Itoads Will Ilcfuso to Pay
K.xhorbitnut ConiiulssloiiH.
CHICAGO , Jan. S. Consideration of the now
agreement for the government of passenger
truffle ami rates west of Chicago will bo re
sumed by the general managers of the inter
ested lines to-morrow. When the discussion
of the proposed articles of agreement was
commenced last week , some of tlio managers
were wide apart oa certain provisions , par
ticularly those relating to commissions und
mileage. But they are now so near in under
standing on these parts that there is prospect
fo unanimous action to-morrow. Strong ef
forts are being made to abate the commission
evil , us well as put un end to the
business relations thut so long oxlsicd be
tween some of the passenger agents and the
scalpers. The majority of the western roads
have already notified the western agents
that their commissions for January will be
merely nominal , und that they cannot make
a reckless reduction in the price of tickets
with the expectation , that they will still
realize u profit from reimbursements of the
companies over whose lines the tickets are
Bold. A specific sum Is named as the maxi
mum commission to be paid on the mile of
each ticket , and agents arc warned thut if
they go beyond that depth they will have to
stand the loss. The present agreement , if
adopted , will bind the rouda to keep within
a very narrow limit in the payment of com
missions.

THE HOUSE DEADLOCK BROKEN.
A BUI KoKulatlui ; the Klcutlou of
Member * of the House The
1'niinuin Canal Matter
Other Business.
.Semite ,
WASIUNOTOX , Jan. 8. In the senate to-day ,
on motion of Mr. Sherman , It was ordered
that Mr. Dray's amendment to the Panama
resolution and the action of the senate
thereon nt yesterday's session bo printed in
the Ucoord.
Mr. Sherman introduced n bill to make
ana alter the regulations as to the time ,
place and manner of holding elections for
representatives In congress , which was ro-
ferroJ to the committee on privileges nnd
elections. He said the bill had .been pre
pared by u L'enUemau who was familiar with
the subject , but did not care to litivo till
imtno published. The bill was unp.irtisiin in
its character and win calculated to Insure
absolutely fair elections In every part of the
United States. It was conllnud to elections
of members of congress.
Tlio senate then , at ! : ItO , resumed consid
eration of the tariff bill at the paragraph re-
luting to collars and cuffs for men's wear.
An amendment changing the tux on these nr-
tlcles was defeated by a strictly party vote.
No amendment was offered to the para
graph taxing hemp or jute carpeting ( cents
per sipinro yard.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas moved to amend a
paragraph which taxes bagging and cloth
composed wholly or partly ofhemp , jute or
Jute butts , valued nt nnt more than a cents
per pound , IJij cents per pound , by putting it
on the free list ,
The discussion was continued at length by
Messrs. Berry , Jones , Allison , Platt , Ilia-
cock , Butler , Sherman , Vuuee , ( Jolte , Ai-
drich and others.
The southern senators assorted that the
tnv must como out of the pockets of the
houthcrn planters and laborers , and bo
banded over to the manufacturers. They
Himko of the cotton bagging trust
as a great conspiracy , and Mr. George
of Mississippi , said that the tax was
imposed directly , not indirectly , on
l'J50OOfi men , women and children in tlio
Bouth who furnished the manual labor to
make the cotton , robbing them to give , " , ( KJO
men in the employ of the trust somewhat ,
higher wages than the average of those who
paid the tax , If the 5,000 , mo'ii get all the tax
lie might be content , but they didn't , it went
to trusts mostly.
Mr. Allison said that the question related
practically not to the cotton bagging para-
Rraph alone , but to every paragraph in the
bill. If the argument of the senators were to
prevail , the whole bill would bo cut up in de
tail ana be destroyed. It was not a question
between C > ,000 laborers on ono side ami
1.2."iO,000 on the other. It was a question
whether or not , und or the existing conditions ,
It was wise to have cotton bagging and other
manufactures maue in the United States , or
whether it was wise to root up In detail
every manufacturing industry in the country
and to have all the manufactured goods made
elsewhere. That was nil that was in the
question. The raw material of cotton bag
ging ( jute ) was not produced in this country
practically , though some jute , ho believed ,
was grown in Texas. It xvas produced ex
cluslvely in India.
Finally a vote was taken on Mr. Jones'
amendment and it was rejected Yeas 19 ,
nays L'5-Mr. Brown voting with the republi
cans in the negative.
On motion of Mr. Allison , tlio value limit
of 3 cents a pound in the paragraph , was re
duced to - % cents.
Mr. Vo.st moved to go back to paragraph
31 and put burlaps on the free list. Uojccted ,
Mr. Brown again voting in the nceatlvo.
Mr. Vance moved to add u proviso to the
cotton section that the duty on no article in
the section should exceed a rate of 50 per
cent ad valorem. No action was taken on
Mr. Arance's motion , and the bill went over
until to-morrow. Mr. Allison giving notica
that unless belter progress were made with
the bill , he would to-morrow or next day
move evening sessions , or to meet at 11 and
sit until 0 or I'nIlU p. m.
The house Joint resolution authorizing the
secretary of war to loan the committee on
inaugural ceremonies flags , etc. , was re

WASHINGTON , Jan , 8. Mr. need of Maine |
opened the contest in the house over the pro-
posett change of rules by calling up the reso
lution reported by him from ttic committee
on rules. The previous question was or
dered on the resolution by a vote of yeas ISr ,
nays 120.
Then Mr. Holmnn of Indiana , acting in
pursuance of the caucns notion last night ,
moved to recommit the resolution , and upon
that motion demanded Uio previous question.
Mr. I'.iyson of Illinois desired to move to
recommit the resolution with instructions to
the committee on rules how to not in the
premises , but the speaker ruled that one mo
tion to recommit having been made and the
previous question demanded , another motion
to recommit , even though coupled with In
structions , was not in ordur unless the de
mand lor the previous question was voted
down. On division on the question ordering
the previous question tlio vote stood ayes
IH'J , nuys it , and Mr. Chendlo of Indiana
raised the point of no quorum. The yens nnd

The vote on recommitment resulted , yens
120 , 'miysl 11" , and the resolution was re :
committed.
The floor was then accorded to the com-
ml Hot ) on printing. After providing for
various documents , the hour accordud to tlio
committee expired , and then thcro was a
flush of conflicting interests. .
Mr. Crisp of ( jeorgia called up tlio South

Elliott.
Mr. Ulfiuclmrd , representative of the rlvor

witli thu question of cotihiuoration , nnd in
his effort to have the election ease set nsido
ho wns seconded by Mr. Springer , who ,
wished the Oklahoma bill to liavo precedence in
ot consideration.
Mr. Crisp was victorious. The house , by
a vote ol 100 tn IK ! , determined to consider
the election case , but Ills victory was not yil
complete.
Mr , Springer asked unanimous consent for
making an order for a final vote on the
Oklahoma bill at S o'clock to-morrow , and
upon Mr , Fiuloy of Kentucky objecting ,
Mr. Weaver moved to roaonsidnr thu vote by
which the house determined to consider the
election oiso. By raising thu point of no
quorum on thu vow by division , Mr. Weaver
forced a yea and .nay vote upon Mr. Crisp's
motion to table the motion ,
Mr. CrUp's motion \va agreed to yeas
lllll , nays 15 ,
Mr. Weaver then ( not in opposition to the
election OMHL . but in pursuano ) of u purpose
to pros * tlio Oklahoma bill upon thu house to

At 3:30 : yesterday afternoon the great nix
dny bicycle raea was resumed at the Colos
seum building. All the contestants were on
the mark ready for the start , and In good
for.n. Dingloy led oft and set the pace most
of the uftornoun , relieved occasionally by
the Unknown. The big four , ICnapp , Mor
gan , Dingloy ami the Unknown , who had
scored together all of the previous dny ,
seemed contented to psdal along together
until 1:30 : , when Dingloy made a dash to gain
a lap on his competitors. For llvo miles
tlioy did the fastest riding over seen in
Omnh.i. Dlnglcy gained half a lap , nnd it
looked as if ho was goini. to nmk > < it u full
one , but the pace was too fast aud ho had to
piiccnmb , his antagonists rinsing up on him
in n short time. The exertion of the spurt
must have distressed him , for a few
inlnutes later ho was compelled to leave
the track for half a minute , which his oiim-
petitors jimdo rood use of by gaining three
laps on him. Of these he succAvtlod in re
gaining two caoh from Morgan find Kmipp
mul one from the Unknown.
At 7 o'clock Morirun , who up to this time
bad seemed In the hcU of form , was com
pelled tn lenvu the tr.ielt iiiul remained off forever
over half an Hour. An inquiry by the re
porter of what was tlu oaiiso brought forth
the response that "tho bloomin' blokes were
ridin' too fast. "
"At thu pace they are going , " said the
speaker , "they will beat all previous records.
I have just como over from the other side ,
whore I boat all the champions of Bnglann
and such ridin' as they arodoin' here 1 novcr

Tlio audience last night was Inruo and up-
nrocintivo. The Unknown has won miinv
friends by his quiet demeanor nnd earn
est work , and lust nlehi when the
race was over for the day was congratulated
by a large number of the audience , iimong
