Albert in ''DOinS' Washington.
WASHINGTON, March 12-Prince Albert,
in company with Vice President Hobart,
visited thu Capitol, the Congressional Id
brary building and the Smithsonian Insri-
tuition to-day He was also accompanied
by the Belgian minister and the members
of his suite. The party arrived at the Capt.
toll at o'clock and was met by Sergeant-at-
arms Bright, and by him conducted through
the building The prince showed an TN
expected familiarity with many OF the OBJ
Jects and commented freely on them. He
manifested especial interest in the weather
chart showing the weather conditions
throughout the country and asked many
questions concerning weather phenomena.
The prince was manifestly struck with the
beauty and elegance Of the library building.
He was apparently much pleased WITH the
mechanical appliances for transmitting
books and the arrangement of the book
shelves. An interpreter was furnished the
party at the library but the prince did not
avail himself of her services TO any great
extent, apparently preferring to speak En-
glish.
Tonight the Belgian minister and CoHn-
tess Lichtervelde gave dinner in honor OF
Prince Albert. The affair was given at q
fashionable cafe and the decorations were
the Belgian coiOrs in tulips and ribbons.
Following the dinner a reception was held.

PACIFIC CABLE SCHEME
MINORITY REPORT ON THE BILL
PRESENTED TO THE HOUSE.
Cooperation OF Japan Urgea By
Mr.. CorIiss, and Majority Plan OPP
posed Because of n Monopoly.

WASHINGTON. March 12.-Representa-
tive Corliss. of Michigan. to-day completed
the minority report of the House COMMITTEES
on interstate and foreign commerce against
the bill reported by that committee for the
establishment of Pacific cable. The orig
inal bill provides for the subsidy of the Pa
ciic Gable Company at the rate of 100000
for twenty years. and provides for the COM
plet;on Of the cable to Honolulu By the gear
1900 and to Japan and China by 1901. The
substitute. offered by Mr.. Corliss and Mr..
Fletcher, of Minnesota, also provides for
subsidy Of not exceeding 100000, but it
eliminates the name of the corporation. and
has provision for the advertisement by
the postmaster general and the co-opera-
ton of the government of Japan. The re-
port indorses the proposition for a cable,
but objects to the bill of the majority be-
cause 1t grants an exclusive monopoly,
subsidy of $2.0OO,00O and holds that all
franchises should be open to competition:
also, that another American corporation Is
ready to enter into a contract to construct
the cable. The report also says: ut is well
known that Japan stands ready to grant a
like or greater subsidy for the construction
of this cable, in addition to the subsidy pro-
posed In these measures, and it is believed
that for the pubic good 1t should be clothed
with power to secure the cooperation of
Japan for the construction and maintenance
of this important public work, and the
minority, therefore. submit an amendment
authorizing such action, with the expecta-
ton that such corporation and competition

Among the riders who are to take part
in the womens bicycle race which is to be
run off in Tomiinson Hall during the week
of March Fl, are two who have made the
greatest regulations in their class. They
are Title Anderson, the Terrible Swede, -
and Lizzie CLAW the "Kaiserina." The race
is to be for the ten-hour championship and
is to be run off in six nights This will give
an hour and a half of racing during each
of the first five nights and two hours and a
half on Saturday night. Something of the
character Of the principal riders can be
gained by a study of the following table
which shows the records for from one hour
up to twelve hours:
One hour. q Ito miles, Anderson; two
honrs, A miles, Anderson; three hours 611s
miles, CLAW; four hours, 81 miles, CLAW
five hours, 101 Al miles, Dottie Farnsworth

141 miles, Matte Christopher; nine hours,
1Sl miles, CLAW; ten hours, POI miles, CLAW
eleven hours, 222A miles, CLAW; twelve
hours, 41 81 miles, CLAW.
CLAW also holds the womans record for
one hundred miles and for two hundred
miles. The former distance was made in
four hours fifty-four minutes and twenty
seconds and the latter in nine hours and
fifty-five minutes.

Conference over Alaskan Rate TrOu-
BILE Not Likely to BE Successful.

CHICAGO, March 12.-The Chicago dele
cation to the conference to be held on Tues
day of next week in New York regarding
the Alaska rate troubles will be composed
of Passenger Traffic Manager White, of the
Atchison, General Passenger Agent Sabas-
tan, of the Rock Island, and Chairman
Caldwell, of the Western Passenger Asso-
citation. General Passenger Agent Fee, of
the Northern Pacific, and General Passen-
ger Agent Whitney, of the Great Northern,
will also attend the meeting. The Canadian
Pacific has signified it's willingness to sub
nit the matters in dispute to arbitration,
but insists that before the board of arbitra-
ton is selected rates shall be restored on
the dlfferential basis claimed by the Ca
madam Pacific, from which basis the points
III dispute are to be argued. The Western
roads say that by acceding to the request
of the Canadian Pacific in this particular
they will be giving up all they have been
fighting for, and the proposal of the Ca
madam Pacific will be declined
Joint notice has been served by the North
ern racine and the Great Northern to all
OF their connections that no more party
tickets at fiat rates must be sold over their
lines to north Pacific coast points. Here
after tickets of this kind must be sold on
the rebate plan only: 1t is claimed that the
fiat rate tickets are being used for the pur-
pose of scalping intermediate rates
The Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf has
assured the Western Passenger Association
that it will cancel the dates of it's home
seekers excursions, and will use those of
the association The Western roads were
fearful of decentralization in rates if the ex-
cursions were run on different dates.

Proposed International Registration
Hureau nj Rerue

WASHINGTON, March 12-The full re-
port of the conference of the Union for the
Protection of Industrial Property which
met at Brussels in December last has been
received from the delegates representing the
United States, Hon. Bellamy Storer, United
States minister to Belgium, and Mr. Francis
Forbes, and is Of marked interest. There
were present at the conference not only
delegates from fifteen of the states of the
union but also from seven countries which
have not yet adhered to it, among them
Germany and Japan. The propositions for
amendment of the convention, submitted by
the United States, looking towards re-
ciprocity in the matter of fees and the re-
quirements of working, and the matter Of
invention belonging to certain classes which
are patentable in the United States, but
not in certain other countries were held by
the conference to be contrary to the gem
eral spirit of the convention, but several
were suggested which would not be obnox-
ious to 1t. The United States delegates took
an active interest in the discussion OF
changes proposed in the agreement respect
ing the international registration of trade
marks, though this country is not at pres
ent party to 1t. The purpose OF this
agreement is to make the international bu-
reau at Berne the center of q cheap regis
tration which shall be efficient over the terS
tration is regarded extremely desirable
and is practically a necessity if our manu-
facturers are to be protected in their for
eign trade.

The stock market ended the week as it

Murbarger-woodmansee Match.

The meeting between Sam Murbarger and
Elmer Woodmansee at the Grand Opera
House Tuesday night will be one of the most
important in the formers career thus far.
Both wrestlers are young, strong and am
bilious. The Cincinnati man has had more
real experience. but what Murbarger lacks
in that particular he makes up in game
ness and strength. In fact the Indianapo-
lis man Is built along McLeod's lines and
has much of the latter'S grit and deter
mnation. The match is to be catch-weights
and under catch-as-catch-can rules, two
falls in three being necessary to win Wood
manSee will come up from Cincinnati to-
morrow. Murbarger has about finished
training. He is always in good condition.
The match will begin at $3.50 Tuesday night,
and limited number of stage seats will be
sold.
