CLOSED DOORS
Will Be the Probable Rule in
the Senate, This Week.
Arbitration Treaty and Other Measures
Demand Executive Debate.
Appropriation ellis and Election Cases Will
Keep the House Busy.

Washington. Jan. 31.-Much Of the
time of the Senate. this week. will
probably be spent behind closed DOORS
The general treaty Of arbitration be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain will be reported to the Senate,
to morrow. as amended by the commit
tee, Saturday.
In addition to this general treaty
there are trade mark and copyright
treaty with Japan and a convention
providing for the appointment of a
commission to determine the boundary
between Alaska and the British pos
sessions. which will probably be sent
to the Senate. tomorrow. These mat
ters. to say nothing of the unrest Of the
Democrats. on account Of the holding
up of pOstofIice nominations by the
postoffice committee. will cause more
or less executive debate. The Mica
raguan canal bill. on which Mr. Nor
gan has vainly endeavored to secure a
time for a vote, still remains unfinished
business. The bankruptcy bill was
agreed upon to follow this. but the two
steering committees have decided that
the Hawaiian cable bill shall be con-
sidered first.
The House will devote the coming
week largely to the consideration Of the
appropriation bills and election cases.
The case of George A. Cornett VS..
Claude A. Swanson, fifth district of
Vir4inia, is on the calendar, and Mr..
Thomas. Rep, of Michigan, has given
notice that he will call it up for action,
Wednesday. The diplomatic and con-
sular and District Of Columbia appro-
priation bills are ready, and before the
week closes the postoffice and naval
bills. it is understood. may be pre-
sented.

question: Resolved, that all elective

by the principal disputants and well
supported from the house. Ten men,

THE LOUD BILL.
ex-Gov CIeaves Appears Before Sen.
ate Committee for Opposition.
Shows that Abuse Of Postal Laws Can q,
Otherwise Reciiiied.

Washington, Jan. 31.-A hearing was
given. Saturday, by the Senate COM
mittee on post offices and post roads tc
persons interested in what has come to
be known as the Loud bill, recently
passed by the House of Representa-
tives and applying to the postage OF
seccnd-claSS matter. Ten o'clock was
set for the hearing. but the only mem
ber of the committee then. or for the
next half hour. present,was Mr.. Chand-
Ter. acting chairman in the absence OF
Mr.. Wolcott.
Senator Hale. not a member Of. the
committee. said that several gentle
men interested in the bill. had come
from New York. Maine and other places
and desired to be heard even IL there
was no quorum present. Gov. Cleayes
of Maine, he added, had been selected
to present the matter first.
Senator Chandler said that Senator
Hill was sick and unable to attend, but
that other members of the committee
would probably present themselves. In
the meantime ex-Gov. Cleaves OF Maine
and other gentlemen might make their
statements and they would be re-
corded by the stenographer. Gov.
Cleaves then addressed the committee.
The act, Gov. Cleaves said. would
affect many of the interests and would
withdraw many of the great privileges
now enjoyed by the people. The post
Ofrice department was nearer to the
people than any other branch of the
public service. The people recognized
the United States mail as part OF the
great government to which they owed
and gave allegiance. They fecong-
nized the benefits conferred upon them,
carrying to them good books, good
magazines and good newspapers.
This privilege was nearly equally
important to the common school sys-
TEN. It is said. however. that bad
books and bad publications were going
through the malls, exercising cor
rupting and debauching influence on
the youth of the country and that It
should be stopped. Even were that 80,
Congress- had the power tocorrect those
abuses under tt> present law without
revolutionizi.g the whole postal sys-
tenn and destroying the whole fabric
because there were one or two rotten
timbers found In the structure.
Gov. Cleaves went on to speak of ex-
isting contracts with newspaper and
periodicals which would be affected by
the proposed act, The distribution of
good literature dnd good newspapers
the country gave to the
people advantages. which they appre-
ciated, and which they should have.
even though the government might not
make profit on its second-class mail.
Governor Cleaves said there was no
doubt Congress had the power to re-
peal this law at any time, but there
were equitable rights which should be
-espected. He asked the committee to
give the matter q more searching in
than 1t had done yet. The
act had been ignored by the support-
