SlX-DAY BICYCLE RACE
1t VIII Begin Sunday Evening at
Convention Hall.
An Attraction That VIII Out-CIass
All Others-Many Worthy En-
tries Already Made.

The management OF the Ice Palace pro-
pose to give another six-day go-as-you-
please bicycle race, commencing one min
ute after midnight unday. The one given
during the winter excited the greatest
interest among the cyclists here, and no w
that the spring has come and there il
still more opportunity for cycling, more
people are interested than ever
In every city where these races have
been held the attendance has been very
large, and 1t is believed that the list OF
entries which Manager Towers has secured
VIII prove fully as attractive as that
which has been offered elsewhere.
Included In this list are Schock, Riyierre,
: the French champion; Lawson, Cassidy,
johnson, Peter Golden and Albert, all
of whom are well known for their speed
and endurance. Besides these there will
probably be Schineer BlakesIey, Miller
and Iftt.
The track is already being arranged in
Convention Hall. and it win be a ten
lap track, built upon the same lines as
before, nIaking rs large as any indoor
track In the world.
1t is intended TO have a grand band con-
cert Sunday evening, lasting from dark
until midnight
The race wilibe conducted under theruIes
OF the League OF American Wheelmen and
under It's auspices. Those who enter must
ride 142 hours, and in order to break the
record for tnat length of time the winner
will have to- cover more than 81 Omiles.
Many more entries could have been Sc
cured than have been mentioned, but those
who are in the list insisted that only riders
OF recognized ability N Iong-distance rae
ing should be allowed to compete.
Some OF those who will be seen here
have already made excellent showing in
other cities, and IL is confidently expected
that the winner will come very near the
highest mark yet attained.
New York, where the worlds record was
broken; Schinecr, Miller. and Lawson were
first, second, and fourth, respectively, at
Chicago, and Schock held the world cham
pionship until it was wrested from him in
New York by Teddy Hale.
These are the creme de la creme Of racing
cyclists, and it is onIs at very large
expense that they are brought here.
Manager Towers, however, believes that
the great interest in cycling at the Ma
tional Capital, which is the paradise OF
win Justify his outlay, and tha C
Convention Hall viii be crowded durin z
the duration OF the contest.

CHARGED WITH UsURY.
Taylor Loaned Money to His Eel.
Iow-Government EMPLOYEES.

Closely following Superintendent Cullen
dismissal, the conduct of another employe
of the maiibag repair shop is now under
investigation.
Charles A. Taylor, a clerk, is now charged
with lending money al usurious rates of In.
terest to other employees of the shop.
1t was further charged against Taylor
that the poor seanstresses employed by the
shop were his chief victims.
Yesterday morning two identical letters
were received by Second Assistant Post
master General Nelson and Major Tyler,
chief OF the Railway Equipment Division,
under whose charge the mail bag repair
shop is placed. These letters purported to
be from one of these women, and COM
planned bitterly against Taylor's alleged
misconduct.
An examination was Immediately order
cd, and last evening report upon til C mat
ter was submitted to Mr.. Nelson ills be-
lieved that Taylor admitted the charges,
but that he pleaded in eXtenuation ignor-
ance of the fact that it was against the
rules of the department..

A MIBERAL" NIGHTMARE
Catholic Opinion On the War Be
tween Alleged Factions.
What a Priest and a Professor
Think of Last Years Liter.
ary Hessians.

The periodically alleged war between
Dr. Schroeder, professor of dogmatic the
ology at the Catholic University, and q
certain mythical liberal Catholic ele-
ment has broken out again. Several col.
umns have been already written about it,
and all of them replicas of the dispatches
from the last war, OF nearly year
ago.
1t appears that DR.. Schroeder has written
an article, in which, as professor of dog
matte theology, he Condemns liberal
ism,'' which he clearly defines, assert
ing that ii is a subject half a century old.
DR.. Schroeder talked about this liberalism
q year ago, when it was only forty-nine
years old; and it was just when the sub
ject was of that Slvery age that an
agitation was commenced in two or more
newspapers to show that it all referred to
Bishop Keane. No attention whatever was
paid to these differences by the authorities
of the Catholic University, until it was
stated that there were factional differences
among the trustees, who then denied the
statements. none of which was ever made
on anybody's authority.
Oue Vi JiiG illOSb III JHe Odl HOilO
clergy was asked last night if there was
anything new at all in the recent publ
cations. Nothing, whatever he said.
Tits always alleged that DR.. Schroeder is
attacking a certain liberal element, but who
are, and where is, that element? The
burden Of the niercenary song last year
was that Bishop Keane was the archetype,
the hegemon, ofthis Catholic liberalism, and
that he was being dethroned by the anti
liberal literature of Dr.. Schroeder. Now,
Dr. Schroeder remember is the professor Of
dognaatie theology, and his teachings must
be, as they have been, approved by the
Pope himself.
1T requires only pennyweight OF COM
mon sense to see that if DR.. Schroeder's
ideas of liberalism condemned Bishop
keane, the good bishop must with greater
reason have been condemned by the Pope
and all the alleged liberals" of the
United States and the universe. What
happened? Bishop Keane has been taken
to Rome, given higher honors, and is
one OF the chief advisers of the Pope on
matters relating TO the church in this
1t is not the history of the
Catholic church that teachers or preachers
of what it considers heresy, 'liberal OF
are given preferments at Rome

THE CHAPMAN CASE ARGUED
Petition For Writ of Habeas COrDal
Presented By Counsel.
CONVENTIONS OF Appellant and GOV
eminent Set Forth-Noted Spec
tators in the Audience.

The case against Elyerton r. Chapnaa
the New York stock broker, finally reached
hearing in the Supreme Court OF tbs
United States yesterday afternoon Chap
| man was convicted OF violation Of SEQ
tion fo2, z. s., which makes it a mis-
demeanor for witness summoned before
Committee OF Congress 20 refuse To
answer questions prOpounded to him
His alleged recusancy was committed In
connection with the investigation by ths
Senate OF the alleged sugar trust scandal
at the time OF the consideration of this
tariff bill in 1894. He has applied to
the Supreme Court for a discharge from
custody under that conviction on a whit
OF habeas corpus.
The case was argued for the petitioner
by ex-senator George F. EdmundS and ex-
Judge DitteBhoefer, and for the Govern
ment by Solicitor General Conrad.
The contention Of counsel for the pet-
tioner was thTee-fOl II that theIa W under
which the conviction was had is unconsti-
tutional in thatit seeks to make a refusal
to testify before a committee OF Congress
contempt OF the authority of the body
ordering the inquiry 70 be made; (2J that
the law is unconstitutional for the reason
that Congress cannot impose on, nor COM
init 20. the judicial branch Of the Govern
ment the punishment for contempt of its
dignity or authority; - that the law is IN
constitutional for the reason that by the
fifth amendment to the Constitution no
person shall be subject for The same OF
tense to be twice put in leopard Of life or
limb.
Upon the second proposition, in answer
to questions by JUS tice Gray, Mr. Edmunds
said that when Congress touched the indi-
vidual citizen, the ultimate decision as To
whether it was rightly or wongly exer-
cising its power must be with the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Against the contentious OF Messrs Ed
munds and DittenhOefer, Solicitor General
Conrad asserted the fell power OF Congress
TO do just exactly what had been done In
this case.
Counsel for the petitioner, he said. con-
founded acts with offenSes. it was easy
to conceive that the commission of a single
act might and should subject him to pun
iShment for two or more separate offenSes.
But in this case, he said, Chapman had
not been charged with contempt OF the
Senate nor convicted OF II; he had been
convicted OF a misdemeanoT, committed, as
the Indictment said, against the peace
and dignity Of the United states. 1t was
entirely competent, Mr.. Conrad asserted,
for the Congress to define the act of the Pc
dtoner as an offense and provide for
its punishment by the judicial power.
Interested auditors OF the argument were
Senator's Gray and Lindsay, members Of
the committee which examined Mr. Chap
man.

be, in his opinion, Ito foster trusts and to
pauperize and peonize the agricultural la
borers OF the United States.'' The primary
object OF the bill, he said, was neither
to raise revenue nor to encourage the in
dustries of the United States, but was de-
signed bysits authors for the express pur-
pose OF enabling the powerful trust to
stand up to the people of the country and
TO legally rob them. 1--WE are today Mr.
Castle said, sin the TRANSITIONAL stage, pass
ing from republican into the most odioas
form OF government known in history-a
rnoneyed oligarchy. Rome, In her decline,
had her Cataline; America has her Hanna
lApplause and hisses.)
Mr.. Brown, of Ohio, said it was not
necessary to hold a lcng session of Congress
to execute the commission placed in it's
hands, by the passage OF the tariff bill.
In the opposition of it, he said. we see
the finaf struggles of another lest cause.
The new member al well as the old could
see, and did, in this struggle, the old con-
test between two different systems Of
labor.
Saying that he should vote for the bill,
Mr. Kerr of Ohio criticised the reciprocity
feature as being, in his opinion, fatally
defective. The concessions proposed in the
scheme, he said, We're soinsignificant com
pared with what we must ask in ex-
change, that any nation nsgotiating with
us for them would be Without either
dignity or sense. He urged the substitu-
ton for the provisions of the bill the
reciprocity section of the Mckinley bill,
born in the brain of James G. Blaine.
The last speech Of the ! evening was
delivered by Mr.. oldstead Of PennsyI-
vania, in support OF the bill, who adj
dressed six Representatives on the floor
and score OF visitors in the galleries.
AT IL O'Clock the committee rose, aud
on motion by Mr.. Sherman of New York

MAY AFFECT FEARsoN's CASE.
Judge BradIey's Charge to the Grand
jury Arousino Interest.

Jury Arousing Interest.
Considerable interest is being manifesto
by the members Of tie local bar concern
ing the ruling OF Judge Bradley, Tues
day, in the trial Of the case OF Daniel
Gray, charged with murder
Congress passed law which was ap-
proved January 5, which permits Jury
in finding a verdict of guilty Of murder. to
qualify the verdict by adding without
capital punishment" and such a verdict
making it obligatory on the part Of the
court TO impose a sentence Of imprison-
ment at hard labor for life.
The trial Tuesday was the first ons
for murder that has taken place in the
District since the act became a law. and
the ruling OF the court was awaited with
a degree of interest that is unusual.
In his remarks Judge Bradley said that
in his opinion the act of COngTessiS beyond
doubt applicable to the District OF Colum-
bia, and added that while The act OF
January / 5, 1897, provides that its pro-
visions shall not apply to or in any way
affect any proceeding or indictment then
found or pending, or that may be found
for any offense committed before the
passage O1 SHe dCt, SHdi De puHtSHtu uAioeA
the laws then in force; Provided, that
juries may return qualified verdicts In
such cases according to the provisions OF
section 1 of the act (the one authorizing
the qualified verdict), and the sentences
shall be imposed as therein provided
The effect Of the act is TO repeal all pun
ishment for the crime of murder com
nitted prior to the passage Of the act
Courts, Judge Bradley said. must apply
the Law as they fad it. and finding that
the act OF January rs, 1897, is as he
stated it to be, it was his duty to hold
that at the present time there is no
punishment prescribed for the crime Of
murder committed prior to that date.
