SENATE.
!!INi;ton'. May 14. The Senate
with amendment subjecting im-
uors to provisions ot the laws
several States was reported from
bill
ported !i
of th
thd committee and placed on the calen
dar. The amendment is practically a
new bill, and provides that no State
shall be held to be limited or restrained
in its power to prohibit, regulate, con
trol or tax the sale or transportafion (to
be delivered within its own limits) of
rny distilled, fermented or other intoxi
cating liquors, by reason of the fact that
the liquors have been imported intoany
State from beyond its limits, whether
there shall or shall not have been paid
thereon any tax. duty or import to the
I'nited States.
Mr. Vi!s"kn. of Iowa, submitted a re
port from the Judiciary Committee on
the bill in which it was stated that the
purpose of it is to grant permission to the
several States to execute their laws to
protect society and promote its best in
terests. This bill, the report says, is
clearly within the suggestions of the de
cision recently rendered by the I". S.
Supreme Court, and therefore the com
mittee recommends the passage ot tlie
bill.
The Silver bill was taken up and Mr.
Teller addressed the Senate. He spoke
o; the bill as relating to perhaps the
most important question that had been
presented to the Senate since the de
monetization ot silver in it it
could be truthfully said that that ques
tion had ever been presented to the
Senate. Discussing the Windom bill.
Mr. Teller said that even if he was con
vinced that that bill would put the
price of silver up. not to $1.21) an ounce,
but to $l.-"i an ounce, it would never re
ceive his support. It was clear to him
that silver. without its full re
cognition as a money. would
not remain at the price at which
it might be put. In further dis
cussion of that bill he said that nothing
would suit the Secretary of the Treasury
but a treasury note, payable in a com
modity. It was the first time that the
"store system." which prevailed in
mining and in manufacturing regions,
was proposed to be applied to the
Treasury Department of the United
States.
Mr. Teller was equally emphatic in
his condemnation of the bill as report
ed from the Finance Committee, for
the reason that bullion to be purchased
under it was not to be coined absolute
ly, but was to be used as the basis for
the issue of paper money. His speech
was an argument for unrestricted coin
age of silver.
Without concluding his speech. Mr.
Teller at '2M0, yielded to a motion to go
into executive session. The doors were
reopened at :.0-. the Silver bill was
laid aside informally till to-morrow, and
the Senate proceeded to business on the
calendar.
The following bills, among others,
were passed:
Senate bill for the relief of Mai. Good
loe. paymaster of the L'nitcd States Ma
rine Corps, crediting him with sums
lost through the defalcation of his clerk.
Senate bill for the relief of the Norfolk
Coentv Ferry Co. refunding 4 -2.. 100 for
tation manners. The gentleman was
now giving an exhibition of manufac
turing manners. The members of the
House were told that the gentleman as
a manufacturer did not desire to pro
mote the interest of his class. He rose
above party and self-interest; he became
a philanthropist, and represented, not
himself, but the interest of labor. His
heart was swollen with devotion to the
workingman. He said that the tariff
was intended to enable the "manufac
turers to pay wages to laborers. The
manufacturer paid SI 25 to labor for
producing a ton of pig iron. The govern
ment the gave manufacturer $6 72 to ena
ble him to pay that$l 25. The manufac
turer paid the laborer S3 for producing a
ton of steel rails. The government gave
him $17 to enable him to pay it. Why
did not the manufacturer give $17 to
the workingmen instead of turningthem
out of work and going on tally-ho rides
through the mountains of Scotland.
Mr. Byn urn's motion was defeated
CG to 86.
Mr. Dunnell, of Minnesota, moved to
reduce the duty on china, porcelain,
&c, from 55 to 35 per cent, ad valorem.
He thought that the time had come in
the history of pottery manufacture
when a reduction of duty might be
made. Mr. Dunnell's motion was lost
7(5 to 91.
Mr. McMillen moved to reduce the
duty on decorated china ware from GO to
45 per cent , stating that the 60 per
cent, duty proposed, taken in connection
with the package clause of the adminis
trative customs bill, amounted to a con
siderable increase from existing rates.
Mr. McKinley denied that the in
crease that would result from the pack
age clause would be material. There
mijjhtbe an increase of about o per cent..
but that increase was necessary to con
tinue the existence of that industry in this
country. He held up a handsome piece
of decorated ware and , said that we
could not make such ware in this coun
try before the tariff of 1883. Poor peo
ple did not use that kind of ware, but he
promised that under protection it would
soon be placed within their reach.
Mr. bynum, of Indiana, said that noth
ing better illustrated the difference
betwee.i parties on this question than
the tine ware exhibited by the gentle
man, as compared with the old fashioned
blue-rimmed plate, saucer aud cup. He
(Bynum) had used in the last Congress
to illustrate his argument that ware
the poor man's ware. It paid sixty per
cent., although it was worth but one
tenth of the cost of fine ware.
Mr. McKinley It is getting lower all
the time.
Mr. Bynum Yes; the poor man has
-just, discarded tin plates and begun to
use common ware.
Mr. McMillen's motion was defeated.
Various other amendments looking
to a reduction of the duty on leather
and glassware were made on the Demo
cratic side, but met with no success.
Mr. Candler, of Massachusetts, offer
ed an amendment fixing the rate of
duty on lamp chimneys at 45 per cent,
ad valorem. Lost 55 to 77.
Having considered sixteen of the 156
pages of the bill, the Committee rose
and the House at 6 o'clock adiourned

tods withheld by the Commissary De
purtment of the Army during the war.
Many of the bills that were reached
on the calendar were laid aside, on the
suggestion of Mr. Inga'ls that the Sena
tors who reported tham were not pre
sent. Frequent repetition of this for
mula, with the point of sarcasm that
muriveu its delivery, created some
amusement in the Chamber.
Finally, on his motion, the Senate ad
journed at 4.30 till to-morrow.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
On motion of Mr. Morrill, of Kansas,
the House insisted on its amendment to
the Senate Dependent Pension bill,
and a conference was ordered.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole, Mr. Grosvenor in the
chair, on the Tariff bill.
Mr. Bynum. of Indiana, moved to re
duce the duty on common earthenware
from 25 to 15 per cent, ad valorem. He
argued that taking this clause in con
nection with the Customs Administra
tive biii. it would be found that the
duty on earthenware would be increased
from 10 to 50 per cent.
Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, contended
that the effect of the tariff was to reduce
the price of articles to the consumer.
This contention was denied by Mr.
Mills, of Texas, who ridiculed the idea
that if the tariff reduced prices, manu
facturers would come to Congress ask
ing that the tariff be advanced for their
benefit.
Mr. Walker, of Massachusetts, said
that in making that statement that was
not true. A man might be perfectly
truthful so far as he himself were con
cerned, and he might not. There was
not one word of truth in what the gen
tleman from Texas said about manu
facturers coming before the Committee
asking that the duty might be put up
for their protection. He did not mean
by that that the gentleman was saying
hat was not true. He supposed that
the gentleman believed it. No manu
facturer had come before the Ways and
Means Committee and asked that duties
be put up or down on his own
account. Manufacturers came and
said that paying the wages they
did the tariff should be this, that
q: the other. The working man got
every dollar of the increase ot price on
account ot th tariff. A a mazWfae

Philadelphia. May 14. Hon. Rich
ard Vaux, nominee of the Democratic
Convention of the Third District for
Congress, was officially notified of his
nomination this morning, and he gra
ciously accepted both by a speech and
a letter.
In replying to the speech of the chair
man of the Notification Committee,
Mr. Vaux spoke as follows : Mr. Chair
man and Gentlemen of the Committee :
The announcement you have made of
my unanimous nomination for Congress
by the Democratic Convention of the
Third Congressional District, surprises
and gratifies me respecting the favor

Mr. Randall the speaker's voice sounded
full of tears, and he was compelled to
pause in his address. Recovering him
self he continued, "that my predecessor

because of his high integrity and
the zeal he manifested for the in
terests committed to his charge. The
welfare of the citizens of this district,
and indeed of those of this city, in

The Mayor of Key "West, Fla., Arrested
on Charges Preferred by the Pusillani
mous Collector of Customs.
By Telegraph to the Mornfftg Star.
Cedar Keys, May 14. Four deputy
U. S, marshals arrived here late last
night for the purpose of arresting the
mayor of the city, W. W. Cottrell, and
his city marshal, Mitchell, on the charge
of assaulting cusiom collector Pinkerton
and interfering with him in the prosecu
tion of government business. This ac
tion of the government authorities is
the result of a long series of outrages
perpetrated by Cottrell, in most of
which he had been aided and abetted by
marshal Mitchell. A genuine reign or
terror has existed here, the full details of
which will probably never be known un
til Cottrell is safe behind the bars, for
people do not dare to speak against
him so long as he is at liberty. The
U. S. officers succeeded in arresting
Mitchell this morning. Cottrell was ap
prised of th.eir coming, and is now in
hiding. They are on his trail, however,
and hope to take him before morning. fj
The recent condition of affairs here
seems hardly possible in a land of
liberty, but investigation proves the fol
lowing story to be strictly true: Cot
trell, besides the office of Mayor, has
been inspector of customs under the
Democratic collector. He had charges
preferred against him at the Treasury
Department in Washington, and was
forced to resign his position as customs
inspector. This was after the appoint
ment of collector Pinkerton by Presi
dent Harrison. One day last week Cot
trell met Pinkerton and asked the col
lector to open the custom house for
him, as he wanted to get some things
belonging to him which were stored in
the building. It was after office hours
and Pinkerton refused. Cottrell "cursed
him out" and threatened his life. The
collector went home, but he was given
notice that if he appeared on the streets
of Cedar Keys he would be sent into
eternity on Cottrell's shot-gun schedule.
The family naturally objected to having
Pinkerton leaving the house. Then
Cottrell tried to persuade a negro to go
inside and drag the collector out. The
negro refused and was thereupon
beaten most unmercifully by Cottrell.
Pinkerton was kept from going to his
office by the fact that Cottrell was gun
ning for him on the streets, and the
business of the United States was thus
seriously interfered with. Pinkerton
was forced to leave his house secretly
and to wade through the waters of the
bay up to his waist, in order to avoid
meeting Cottrell. For a year past Cot
trell has held this city by the throat.
No one has dared interfere with him.
He goes armed constantly; he has com
pelled' a negro to beat a telegraph ope
rator; has threatened to thrash women
whose husbands had incurred his dis
pleasure; has kept men locked up in jail
for days at a time for no cause what
ever; has paraded the streets with
That part of the report offering a
prize was adopted.
The Committee on Temperance re
ported in favor of infermented wine for
the Sacrament whenever practicable,
and approved resolutions introduced
last week by Messrs. East, Wall and
Haynes, opposing all laws licensing or
permitting the manufacturing or sale of
intoxicating liquors as a beverage, be
cause such laws provide for continu
ance of traffic and furnish no
protection against its ravages; that
the proper attitude of' Chris
tians toward drink traffic should
be uncompromising opposition, and that
voluntary total abstinence is the sole
and true ground of personal temperance,
and complete legal prohibition of the
traffic is the duty of the government.
The rctort went to the calendar, and
will no doubt cause much debate when
it comes up for consideration.
The remainder of the session was de

KENTUCKY SENATORSHIP.
A New Candidate Placed In the Field as
a Gentleman and Poor Man Specula
tions as to the Nomination.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Frankfort, Ky.. May 14. In addi
tion to the names mentioned last night
as presented for votes for United States
Senator in caucus, that of Hon. Evan E.
Settle, of Owen county, was put forward.
The gentleman who nominated him pro
voked roars of laughter by describing
him as a "gentleman from end to end,"
and by saying that the Senator should be
a poor man, as Mr. Settle was, as he
"owns nothing but a wife and four small
children."
The vote on adjournment stood 66 to
46. The opposition is thought to repre
sent Carlisle's first choice strength. The
opinion that Mr. Lindsay will be Mr.
Carlisle's chief rival has gained sup
porters. The first ballot in the Senatorship
contest resulted as follows: Carlisle 34,

T.y Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Sr. Louis, May 14. The General
Conference of the M. E. Church South
entered upon its second week to-day.
After religious exercises F. M. Bristol,
of Chicago, ex-Governor Robert E.
Patteson, of Philadelphia, fraternal dele
gates from the Northern Church, and
Mr. Stone, from the Methodist Church
of Canada, were introduced to the Con
ference. The report of the Committee on Re-
visals recommended that various
changes be made in the Discipline for
the benefi of the Soanish sneakino-
Methodists of Mexico.
The Committee on Publishing Inter
ests made a report which caused a long
and animated discussiou. It recommend
ed that a premium be offered for a series
of catechisms for use in the Church. This
was opposed by one delegate as being
in the nature of a lottery. Another op
posed it because he thought the Church
had good enough catechisms now. Sec
retary Harrison said he had one hun
dred and forty catechisms in his library,
and the Church would not be able to
improve on them by offering SI 00 for
the most difficult book in the world.
He said the College of Bishops had been
instructed four years ago to prepare a
series of graded catechisms, but had not
done it. He did not know why.

THE STTUNr
FOR
1890.
Some people agree with The Si n's opinion about
men and things, and some people don't; but ' every
body likes to get hold of the newspaper which U never
dull and never afraid to speak its mind. ,
Democrats know that for twenty years Tik Sun
has fought in the front line for Democratic principles,
never wavering or weakening in its loyalty to the true
interests of the party it serves with fearless intelligence
and disinterested vigor. At times opinions have dif
fered as to the best means of accomplishing thp com
mon purpose; it is not The Sun's fault if it his seen
further into the millstone.
Eighteen hundred and ninety is the year thnt will
probably determine the result of the Presidential elec
tion of 1892, and perhaps the fortunes of tho- Dem
ocracy for the rest of the century. Victory in J892 is
a duty, and the beginning of 1890 is the best tame to
start out in company with The Sun.

The New York Sun's Report of the Market
Yesterday.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, May 14. The Sun's
review of the cotton market to-day says
Futures opened a little easier, especal
ly for the next crop. Excessive rains in
Texas and the southwest measurably
abated and prospects, for the next crop
were materially improved. Liverpool
was a turn cheaper and Manchester not
so unquestionably strong; the bulls there
fore had nothing to maintain their posi
