Z Won to-morrow. "
- Mr. Blair asked Mr. Sherman .if the reso
lutions were to be discussed in open or in

Mr. Sherman said that that was a matter
for the Senate itself to determine.
Mr. Morgan said he would offer to
morrow a substitute for Mr. Hoar's resolu
tion, providing that Dennis Murphy, offi
cial reporter of the Senate, and three

stesd and pre-emption claimants, Mr.
George, of Mississippi, moved to insert in
Mr. Hoar's amendment the words "and all
such pre-emption and homestead claims are
hereby confirmed." Agreed to.
Mr. Hoar's amendment was agreed to,
f and also' one offered by Mr. Wilson, ex
empting from the provisions of the bill

construction of a railroad opposite to and
coterminus with a portion of any such
railroad not now completed and In
operation, for the construction or benefit

fonn, f he said, . , had had - two
ends . to -v' it-1 -". protection . end
and a - free trade end. The gentleman
from Pennsylvania (Randall) had ridden
on one end of the rail, while Carlisle,
Morrison and the rest had ridded on the
other end. But now they were all going
to get on -one-end of the platform, and
that would make it easy sailing for the
Republican party in Tennessee. The pend
ing bill would put out every every fur
nace, close up every marble quarry, and
destroy every coal interest in that State.
Mr. Wise, of Virginia, commented upon
the evils which would be the necessary re
sult of the further continuation of high
taxation, which filled the Treasury with
money drained' from. the channels of trade.
and commerce. There were two methods
of reduction of taxation contended for, one
by a reduction of tariff - duties? and the
other by the abolition of the internal reve
nue system. The Mills bill was a compro
mise between the two methods. He dis
cussed at length and condemned the pro
tection system, c He argued that the high
duties now imposed were not required to
compensate for the difference in the cost
of production of similar articles in this
countryfand abroad on .account of the
higher rate of wages in vogue in the Uni
ted States.
Mr. Cogswell, of Massachusetts, cor
rected Mr. Woodburn, of Nevada, who a
few days ago read the name of Secretary
Endicott among the American members of
the Cobden Club. Mr. Cogswell said Wil
liam Endicott, Jr., of Massachusetts, was
a member, but Secretary Endicott had
never been.
Mr. Kennedy, of Ohio, denouoced the
Democratic party as a free trade party, but
qualified that denunciation by declaring
that there was scarcely a Democrat on the
other side an avowed free trader, (though
he might be), who was not a selfish protec
tionist. Each wanted his local industry
protected, but favored free trade for every
body else's industry.
. Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, quoted several
auuionues in support or tne declaration
made by him on Saturday, that Mr. Gar
field had repudiated membership in the
Cobden Club. He also read a letter from
Murat Halstead. explaining how be came
to be made an honorary member of the
Cobden Club.
Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, cited authori
ties to show that Mr. Garfield had been
elected a member of the Cobden Club and
had accepted membership.
The committee then rose.

Br Telegraph to the Horning- Star.
Washington, May 9. The Attorney
General to-day appointed Frank A. Brona
gan, of Steubenville, Ohio, to be disburs
ing and appointment clerk of the Depart
ment of Justice, vice James W. Ewing re
moved. The salary is $3,000 per annum.
The Secretary of the Treasury, who has
jurisdiction in the matter, has fixed the
bond of the new appointee at $15,000, or
$5,000 more than that of the late incum
bent. .
Investigation into Ewinst's accounts is
closed so far as the Department of Justice
is concerned. The examination of his ac
counts at the Treasury Department will
occupy two or three weeks more and until
that is finished their precise condition can
not be stated. From the best information
obtainable, however, it is thought that his
accounts are $9,300 short. This amount is
amply secured by his bonds and no loss
will be sustained by the government.
Ewing says he can explain the seeming
discrepancy and will do so in the course of
time.
The President has nominated Robert B.
Roosevelt, of New York, to be Minister
resident of the. United States to the Neth
erlands. Washington, May 9. The House Com
mittee on Appropriations to-day resolved
to report the bill appropriating $3,500,000
to meet the deficiencies for the payment of
army pensions during the remainder of the
present fiscal year.
There were but four members present at
this morning's meeting of the House Com
mittee on Education, which has under con
sideration the Blair Educational bill and its
substitute reported by the sub-committee.
These were Candler, chairman, and Buck
alew, Democrats; and O'Donnell and Rus
sell, Republicans. As no action on the bills
could be taken without the presence of a
quorum, the committee adjourned until the
next meeting day, Wednesday, the 16th inst.
The Democratic caucus to-night called
together about one hundred and twenty -five
members of the House. Speaker Car
lisle was not present, but Mr. Randall and
many of the New York and New Jersey
members were. The proceedings were
harmonious throughout, and several of the
Representatixes expressed themselres as
very much pleased with the feeling and
desire for united action manifested on all
sides. The caucus only lasted about an
hour; few speeches were delivered, and in
none of them was there anything of a
threatening character.
The caucus did not attempt in
any way to ' .crack the party lash," or to
bind any members to abide by its decrees.
After a few remarks by Mr. Mills, who in
behalf of the Ways and Means Committee
offered to give the fullest consideration to
any representations that might be made by
any Democratic member looking to amend
ment of the Tariff bill, the following reso
lution was adopted upon his motion :
-Resolved, That any members desiring to
offer any amendment to the Tariff bill
shall, if the same be now proposed, hand i
to the Secretary of the caucus, to be read
and referred to the Democratic members of
the Ways and Means Committee, and if
not already prepared, may hand the same
to said members. It shall be the duty of
said members to consider all such amend
ments, and if requested to hear parties of
fering the same, and to report amendments
back severally to another caucus to be
hereafter held, with their recommendation
thereon.
Representative T. J. Campbell suggested
that it would be well if the committee
should agree not to report upon the amend
ments before the New York Democratic
Convention is held next week, and to this
sugeestion a favorable responsefwas made.
Under the terms of the resolution the fol
lowing amendments were presented to the
secretaries and referred to the Democratic
members of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. By Mr. Crsin, of Texas, to place sheep
shears, surgical instruments, coal and all
machinery used in the manufacture of

that he would hand in a number of
amendments relative to industries in
his district, which, he said, perhaps
more than any other, was affected by
the Mills bill.
On motion of Mr. Manson, of Mis
souri, a resolution was adopted in
structing the secretaries of the caucus
to notify each and every Democratic
member of the House to be present
at all times after the consideration of
the tariff bill shall be commenced by
paragraphs.
At Mr. Springer's suggestion a reso
lution was adopted providing that

The caucus then adjourned, subject
to call by the Democratic members of
the Ways aud Means Committee,
which is to be issued when they have
acted upon the proposed amendments
to the tariff bill.

By Telegraph to the Morulas Star
Atlanta, May 9. The Georgia Demo
cratic Convention assembled here at noon
to-day and elected Hon. Hoke Smith as
chairman.
The Convention was enthusiastic over
President Cleveland's tariff reform mes
sage, and those who held different views
concerning the tariff were promptly over
ruled. Senator Colquitt is here takiog an
active part in the proceedings and at the
conference, yesterday, which he directed,
the whole plan of the Con Ten tion was
agreed upon and has been carried out to
the letter to-day. Hon. Patrick Walsh,
8 resent representative of the State in the
Cations! Democratic Committee, was de
feated for delegate at large to tbeSt Louis
Convention. The delegates at large are
Hons. Pope Barrow, F. G. Dubignon. Al
bert Cox, and Washington Dessau. All
are hearty, advocates of the President's
tariff views. Each of the ten districts
chose two delegates, and the issue was
made squarely on the tariff. Every dele
gate chosen is for the Mills bill and with
tbe President.
The platform adopted, when first read,
reaffirmed the national platforms of 1878,
1880 and 1884. but this wss stricken qu
and in its place was submitted an endcrstt
Sent of tbe President's position un the
riff A strong effort was made to secure
harmony by recognition of the element in
the parly which stood on the platform of
1884, but it failed. Col. Walsh, speaking
for that element, said: "Not a Democrat
objected to the President's renomlnatlon,
but all favored it They yielded their
opinion to tbe will of the majority and all
good Democrats would stand on the plat
form, whatever it be." He offered a reso
lution of which the following is tbe chief
feature: "We demand of our Senators
and Representatives in Congress a strict
compliance with the pledges of the party.
We demand a redaction of the revenues of
the Government and a revision of our tariff
and internal ievenue laws, in such spirit of
fairness thst no material Interest of the
country shall be injured, but that all our
industries and interests, whether of farm,
mine, shop, forest or factory, shall be alike
benefitted by that revision, and that reduc
tion shall take effect upon tbe necessaries
of life. We declare as the first duty of the
Democrats to unite in the renomlnatlon of
President Cleveland, whose administration
has won the respect and confidence of all
people, irrespective of party."
This was defeated, and instead, the plat
form as above indicated was overwhelm
ingly adopted.

came out strong. There was no new ar

heavy buying by a few leading operators,
and the crowd was soon with them. ' The
opening prices indicated nothing, as they
were the same as last night's closing, but
within two hours wheat took a jump of
about two- cents. The first thing to influ
ence the upward turn was the estimate of
King, of Toledo, putting tbe crop in Ohio
at 66. against 58 in April. Then it was
generally believed that the Washington re
port, -which is due to-morrow, will confirm
the worst prospects published, and opera

full benefit of tbe bulge which is anticipa
ted after publication of the report. "Per

else was that or tbe country. Several hun

vance of 3 points. Immediately after tbe
fir.t call liberal selling orders were recti Ted,
and meeting with very little demand prices
quickly declined 56 points for near posi

pofsibly be called of a decided character.
Value, after touching 10 Ofcc for August,
remained steady, and, assisted bv some
covering, recovered 3 points from the low
est, and closed steady at a partial decline of
13 points for old, while Bew crop re
mained unchanged. Receipts again show a
decided increase against last week and last
