TILLMAN’S SECOND SPEECH Millionaire Contractors Cheat the Government. THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL Mr. Chandler’s Amendment to the Bill is Debated by the Senate But Not Finally Dis posed Os. Washington, April 27. —The Naval Appropriation bill was before the Sen ate throughout the day. An amendment offered by Mr. Chandler making it un lawful for retired officers to enter the service of contractors furnishing ar mor, etc*., for the Government, ocea ioned an animated debate, which grad ually broadened info adiseussion of the entire subject of armor plate. Tillman was among the most active in support of the amendment, speak ing of the efforts to cheat and rob the Government, and the tendency of mil lionaire contractors to “thrust their hand® into the pocket of Uncle Sarn. Mr. Chandler and Mr. Hale supported the amendment, and Mr. Gray and Mr. Gorman opposed it. The amendment was not disposed of when the Senate adjourned. The main features of the bill are the items for four seagoing coast line bat tleships, designed to carry the heavi est amor and most powerful ordnance, to cost $3,750,000 each, three torpedo boats, having a speed of thirty knots, to cost SBOO,OOO, and ten torpedo boats to cost $500,000. These provisions are the same as the House provided, except that the number of first-class torpedo boats is reduced from five to three, and the speed increased from 26 to 30 knots. The unimportant amendments of the committee were all agreed to. The item of reserve guns for auxiliary cruisers caused .some debate. Mr. Quay offered an amendment in creasing the appropriation for this item from $250,000 to $400,000. Mr. Gorman doubted the expediency of providing a lot of new guns and following it up with many new ships, in view of the present condition of the Treasury. “What is the present condition of the Treasury?” asked Mr. Stewart. “I will oome to that 'later to-day or to-morrow,” responded Mr. Gorman. * Mr. Stewart remarked that there was $280,000,000 cash balance in the Treas ury. “Yes, ami considerable silver also,” said Mr. Gorman. After further debate, Mr. Quay’s amendment was agreed to. Mr. Perkins (Rep., Oak), moved an amendment appropriating SIOO,OOO for a naval training school at Yerba Buena, Cal. He argued that American ships should be manned by Americans, and that it was desirable to foster a patri otic spirit among American seamen. Mr. Gorman made vigorous opposi tion, and the California Senator con sented to have the appropriation cut to $50,000, saying the liberal people of California would make up the balance. Later he withdrew the amendment. Mr. ( handler offered an amendment making it unlawful, after June 30, 1897, for naval officers to take service with concerns furnishing armor or other epuipments for the government. He said the practice of allowing retired naval officers on three-fourth’s pay to enter the service of contractors deal ing vvifh the government was very ob jectionable. These officers had facili ties for knowing what was going on at the Navy Department, and it was improper that service to the govern ment and service to the contractor should run together. He said there were several specifications showing the objectionable character of this service, hut he refrained from mentioning them as the Navy Department had sanctioned the service. Mr. Gray contended that it was un just to restrict the service of a naval officer on the retired list. Mr. Bacon (Dern. Ga.) asserted that the armor manufacturers were mak ing enormous profits from the govern ment and were enabled to drive hard bargains by having in tlieir service naval officers who were familiar with the affairs of the government. Mr. Tillman spoke in support of the amendment, it being the first time he bad addressed the Senate since his me morable speech on the finances. He said this seemed to be a matter of taste, w here the people had a right to differ. As a member of the Naval com mitt.ee, lie had followed this subject with interest."He has seen two of the ablest naval officers educated by the government, serving the contractors for naval armor who were the enemies of the government—their interests being antagonistic to those of the gov ernment. These officers were still un der pay of the government. “Retired pay only $75 per month,” interjected Mr. Gray. “if that is so,” proceeded Mr. Till man, “I’ll not say a man can live on $75 per month in this community.” Be went on to say that these officers were put in the embarrassing position of helping to cheat the government, to rob it. It was a position in which no honorable man should be placed. Sup pose these officers entered into the ser i ice of Spain or England against w hom there was just now a pet aversion, RALEIGH, N. C., TUESDAY MOBNING, APRIL 28, 1896* would the Delaware Senator claim such antagonistic service was right? “1 agree with you in that,” said Mr. Gray. “Then we are going to bring you around all right,” said Mr. Tillman lightly. He said it was neither decent nor in good taste for these officers to serve those interested in robbing the government. It was now’ proposed by the Naval bill that all material used on battleships be of American manufac ture. While in full sympathy for every encouragement of American interests, yet the Senator said he did not believe in having this sentiment used to further enrich a lot of millionaires. The armor manufacturers were charg ing S6OO per ton for armor used by the United States and at the same time, furnishing armor to Russia at S3OO per ton. “I am unwilling to see. these million aires grow richer by thrusting their hands into the pocket of Uncle Sam,’ declared Mr. Tillman. Mr. Ifalc pointed out that the Bureau officer, who took part in making con tracts for armor, was able to look ahead to the time lie would be on the retired list, and might enter the service of the contractors. In answer to a question, Mr. ILtie said that the experts’ before the Naval committee had shown that the cost of production for armor was $250 tier ton. Mr. Gorman called attention to the grave suggestions of irregularity made some time ago. resulting in an investi gation by the Naval committee involv ing the cost of armor. The committee report ought to be at hand to permit intelligent consideration of these pro posed appropriations for armor. Mr. Gorman asked if the committee had not succeeded in developing any thing more than the minor improprie ty as to the retired officers serving contractors. Mr. Chandler responded that this was by no means all that the commit tee had examined into. He would say, however, that no imputations against any high official of the Government was involved. There' had been some disclosures as to interest of naval offi cers in patents used by the Govern ment, and the propriety of this inter est was now under consideration. The largest question, however, to which tlu* committee had given its attention, was the price of armor plates. Mr. Gorman went on to show that the manner in which the armor contract had been placed in the United States, Secretary Tracy had sought the Ameri can manufacturers, who were capable of furnishing armor equal to any made. It gave prospect that we would be able to compete with England in sending steel booms abroad. Mr. Tillman interjected the remark that when these armor concerns claim ed they were furnishing armor to Rus sia at a loss, he did not believe them. It had been developed in the committee, investigation that the original design was to pay sufficient for armor to pay for putting in the armor plants. This had been done, arid in this way the Gov ernment had practically established the Bethlehem works, although the contractors owned it and were interest ed In getting the highest possible rates for armor. After further debate, the bill waa laid aside, and, rit 5:15 p. in., the Sen ate adjourned. GENERAL PENSION BILL PASSED. Discussion and Amendment Out Off by the Republicans. Washington, April 27. —After spend ing two hours on District of Columbia business the House to-day adopted a special ride for a final vote to-morrow on the Pickier Pension bill. There was an animated debate over the adoption of the rule. Mr. Crisp (Dern. Ga.) charged that its purpose was to destroy the right of amend ment. Mr. Hepburn (Rep. Iowa) pro tested against the interference of the committee on Rules. Mr. Dingley (Rep. Me.) and Mr. Henderson (Rep. Iowa) defended the rule, the purpose of w hich they asserted was to bring to a vote a bill on which there had already been ample debate. Mr. Crisp reiterated his statement that the purpose of the rule was to destroy the right of amendment and followed this with the charge that the bill had been framed, not by the com mittee on Pensions, but by the leaders in control of the House, who had re solved that the House should pass the bill, after drawn, or nothing. “The committee on Pensions,” said he, “spent days and weeks perfecting a bill and then the gentlemen who con trol legislation, and who manage the affairs of House, made this bill out in the Speaker’s room. This certainly is not the bill reported by the Pension committee. 'Men those gentlemen brought in thW rule to protect them selves against the 150 Republican ma jority. If you adopt this rule, you must take this bill as it stands or noth ing,” he concluded sarcastically, ad dressing Uif* Republican side. “If you like the situation you are welcome to it.” _ Mr. Henderson ridiculed the virtuous indignation of Mr. Crisp. “We now hear,” said he, “the solemn voice of the star chamber rules committee of the past, whose rules were clad in steel, appealing for more time. I have no concealment to make,” he concluded, “the gentleman says he appeals for op portunity to amend this bill, presum ably in the interest of the okl soldier. In the same interest I ask for action.” Thirty-four Republicans voted with the Democrats against the adoption of the rule, but it was agreed to by 119 to SB. The pension bill was then taken up for amendment under the five-minute ride. Mr. Conriolly (Rep., HI.), offered an amendment to the section of the bill w hich provided that no person entitled to a nsion should be disqualified from new ring a pension by reason of any pi ,; vr service in the Confederate army, •so as to limit (Jhe provision to persons who had performed “involuntary ser vice” in the Southern army. Mr. Pickier Opposed the amendment on the ground that, it would be impos sible to prone that service in the Con federate army had been “’involuntary’.” Mr. Pearson (Rep., N. C.), appealed to his colleague (Mr. Talbert) not to oppose the soldiers from their section, but to let the opposition, if it must come, come from the “copper-heads” of t;he North.” Mr. Miles (Dem., Md.), denounced the men who deserter! from the Confeder ate army to join the Union ranks at the close of the war, as mere mercena ries, Who fought for gold and honored no flag. Mr. Connolly's amendment was de feated without division. Mr. Hepburn (Rep., la.), offered an amendment providing that the pension office should construe the pension laws liberally in the interest of the claim ant, and that the claimant should be required to produce proof that would exclude all reasonable doubt, but that claims should be decided in favor of the preponderance of the proof. The Hepburn amendment was agreed to without division. Mr. Wheeler (Dean., Ala.), offered an amendment which was ruled out creat ing “a battle pension roll.” Several other amendments were vot ed down, when, at 4 o'clock, the time under the special order expired and The bill was reported to the House. The Hepburn amendment was adopted and the bill was engrossed and ordered to its passage. Mr. Pickier a ked unanimous consent that the vote on the passage be taken this afternoon, saying that members who were absent could place them selves on reco rd. “Why don’t they stay from the horse races?” asked Mr. ’Talbert (Dem., S. C.) (Laughter.) Mr. Pickier, however, withdraw his request. Some minor bills were then passed, by unanimous consent, among them one to relieve the North Georgia Agri cultural College. At 4:40 p. m., the House adjourned. THE RiVER AND HARBOR BiLL. Tne North Carolina Items Increased to $183,000. Washington, April 27. —(Special)— The River and Harbor bill as it left the House covered $125,500 for North Car olina.

The item of $150,000 for the improve ments of the Cape Fear river at and below Wilmington, though it is all that appear® in the bill, Senator Fry tells me has been increased to $195,000 by amendments of to-day, which do not. appear in the bill. So that the Senate bill should now show- $228,000 against $125,500, as it came from the House.

Cripple Creek, Col., April 27.—In formation has been gathered by Chief of Police Marshall and others w hich, together with,well-known facts, makes it almost positive that the fire of Saturday was the work of incen diaries, with the object of plunder. It is believed that the banks were the objective points and that they were to have keen looted in the excitement if a favorable opportunity afforded. Not much will lx? given out but it is known that the fires started almost simultaneously in several places and below the windows of the banks and big business houses. Crowds of crooks are in the city and are known to the authorities, but ow ing to lack of jail facilities they will he unmolested for a time. The amount of plundering that went on during the excitement Saturday was enormous, some firms losing nearly everything they had saved from the flames. Others state that the cash registers were robbed after lieing carried out of their places of business.

NEITHER AGE NOR SEX SPARED Forty-Seven Persons Taken From the Fields Where They Were at Work and Shot by the Spanish Soldiers. Key West, Fla., April 27. —(By mail from Havana, April 25.} —While Del gado, the American, is slowly con valescing from wounds inflicted on him by Spanish soldiers under Gen. Melquizo *s bidding, several weeks ago, the brutal Spanish officers are still butchering people in Havana province. Although official investigation shows that Melquizo is guilty of all charges against, him, he has not been suspend ed from his command. He is said to possess enough influence in Madrid to make it exceedingly uncomfortable for any superior officer who might en deavor to bring him to punishment. News received here tells of his con duct during the past 2 weeks. Near Camp Florido, so the information runs, Melquizo arrested nine peaceable coun trymen and by his orders they were killed. At Mines, nineteen “Pacificos” fell into his clutches and were shot near Balnoa. He razed ten farms and gathered in forty laborers, who were killed in cold blood. The most horrible phase of the last butchery is the fact that women and children were among those massacred. In the vicinity of Jaruco, Melquizo or dered the slaughter of forty-seven persons who were taken from fields where they were at w*ork. In Melquizo’s territory the people are flocking to Havana to escape him. HANGED BY A MOB IN TENNESSEE N« ! fhbors of a Murdered Man Grow Impatient at the! Law’s Delay.
