SENATE.
Washington, Aug. 14. The Senate
had early official notification to-day of
the passage by the House last evening of
four hills placing on the free list sugar,
bituminous coal, iron ore and barbed
i
wire. As soon as the reading of yester
day's journal was finished a message,
announcing the passage of those bills and
making no reference to the Tariff bill,
was delivered by the chief clerk. Subse
quently the bills were laid before the
Senate, one after another, were read a
first time and went over until to morrow,
on an objection by Senator Manderson,
Republican, of Nebraska, to their second
reading. j
Senator Vest indicated a desire to have
them taken up at onjre for consideration,
but that was prevented by Senator Man
derson's objection, j
In connection with these bills notice
was given by Senator Hill that he would
otrer an amendment to each of them re
pealing all provisions of law iu regard
to an income tax.
An objection to the third reading of
the House joint resolution, extending the
general appropriations to August 24th
was made by Senator Aldrich, and that
measure al-o went o.tr till to-morrow.
Senator Call, in connection with a reso
lution olfered by lim lat week as to
United States citizens held as political
prisoners in Cuba, presented and read a
letter from J. M. NUrnez, a prisoner in
the Carcel Real, neai- Santa Clara, Cuba,
soliciting his aid. j

Senator Halt Of

Senator Vest I question the right of
the Senator from Maine to say what will
be the popular acceptance of the bill.
He has no right togive it.such an appella

do it. I
Senator Mills I move to lay the reso

THE GOODMAN TRIAL.
The Defendant on the Witness Stand
His Graphic Account of the
Killing of Col. Parsons.
Richmond, Va., Aug. 14. When Good
man,tlie Chesapeake:and Ohio conductor,
charged with ihe murder of Col. H. C!
Parsons, went on the stand at Covington
this morning there was a ripple of excite
ment in the court room and the judge
warned the crowd to be in order. He
told his. story in a simple, straightfor
ward manner and was the best witness
yet on the stand, lie began by telling
when the Parsons letter was first pur. in
his nossession. lie! took a day to con-
ider,soughttheadviceof LawverCrump, j
and Mr. Crump wrote the re ply to Parsons' j
k; i -
charges. On bis way to Clifton rorge he
did inquire lor I a
rsons. lie arrived at
Clifton Forge and
went to Gladj-s inn,
where lie w.is avcdstonied to stop. He
took a toddy at nigjit ami asked the bar
tender if Parsons had been along lately.
In answer to a question the witness
liere said it was his! habit as an officer to J
carry a pstol while! on duty. He had a
pistol as usual when he retired. He
arose next morning and went down
stairs, putting his pistol in his pocket.
The train would le.ve at :o0 o'clock.
He brought down stJrs a small satchel
he always carried, put the satchel on the
hat racic went mio ine aimng room auu
ordered breakfast. I He heard some one i
clear his throat in the vobby, looked and
saw n irLan. he took to ie Parsons.
ask-el thf head waiter, who said it
was
Parsons. Witness said he would go out
and see the colonel: jwentand saw Par
sons at the partition in the lobby
Witness took the
hat rack, .went
satchel from the
into the read
ing room and took a copy of Parsons
letter from the satchel and retired to the
lobby. Parsons was then standing with
hk back to the fire place. The witness
walked up to him, but Parsons did not
Sc"eni to see him, and to attract his atten
tion, he took the lapel of his coat and
said: "Come out to the front." Just
before ve got to the door, I said: "Are
you the author of this ruinous letter, not
only calculated to ruin me, but to de
stroy the peace of my family?"
When they got to the door both step-
mi on the torch and faced each other
Parsons held the letter up, looked at it,
threw it on the floor and said: .ir
vou noryour family are considered "
Parson then started in. but the wit
ness put hi hand on him and said: "ou
must retract that letter '? "
Parsons said: -Whatr and at once
threw his liand to his hip pocket (witness
here left the chair and gave a graphic
description of Parsons attitude and how
the shooting occurred.)
When Parsons threw his hand behind,
the witness pulled hi pistol with the
right hand, and being left handed, fired
with the left hand four shots in rapid
succession. After the fourth Parsons
grabbed with the right hand the left
hand of the witness, in which was the
pistol. He held it eo firmly the witness
had to wrench the pistol from Parsons
grasp and the weapon was accidentally
discharged. The fifth shot, which Good
man says was accidental, took effect in
Parsons' head, producing the wound-that
Dr. Miller pronounced the immediate
cause of death.
! In shooting ducks on the river it was
the habit of the witness to break the
pistol and empty the shells, and in his
excitement, he involuntarily did the
eame thing after shooting Parsons. He
did not snap the pistol at Parsons after
the pistol was empty. -
He went to see Col. Bryant, the station
master and told him to get another man
to take out the train, as he had killed
Parsons. He did not tell Bryant: "I
collared Parsons and gave him all I had."
After seeing Bryant he went down town
and surrendered himself.
In answer to a question, he said he en
quired for Parsons because he wanted to
see him and ask a retraction. If Parsons
would not grant it he intended to go
before the Rockbridge grand jury and
have him indicted for criminal libel. He
had already consulted Mr. Crump as to a
civil suit for damages. He was informed
that a judgment against Parsons would
be worthless, but he wanted, not money,
but vindication.
I When the witness left the dining room
he had no other purpose than to ask a
retraction and believed he would make
it. With much emotion the witness here
said: "I cannot explain the deep sorrow
I felt that he should try to destroy my
family relations, the sunshine of my
life." He thought Parsons would give
him satisfaction, and did not expect to
shoot, even after Pars jns had thrown the
letter down. The idea of shooting first
came into his head when Parsons threw
his hand behind him. Witness then
thought he w ould be killed. He would
not have drawn the pistol but for this.
He stonned shootinir as soon as he saw
Pna' nVhr hanri. Thf last shot was
accidental. After the shooting he picked j pation and place of residence in China of
up the letter where Parsons had thrown j all American citizens, including mission
:t I aries. The apparent objection to these
He was then questioned as; to the
charges in Parsons letter and isaid all

Senator Walsh's Views on the Tariff.
Washington, Aug. 14. Senator
Patrick Walsh, of Georgia, said to a re
porter of the Southern Associated Press
to-day:
"The Senate bill is essentially a com
promise measure.' It represents the best
that could be attained! during the pres
ent session, and the attainable should
alwayg be accepted by conservative men
in matters of legislation. Ihis bill is
such an improvement on the McKinley
law that there ought to be no question
among tariff reformers as to its bene
ficial effects upon the business interests
of the country. The Senate bill is a long
step in the direction of the removal of
protective duties It is the beginning of
the end of the fight for tariff
reform. It is a compliance with
the spirit of the pledges of the
Democratic party and the contest
will go on until the letter is also fulfilled.
No Democrat should fail to accept the
Senate bill as the very best thing in the
shape of tariff legislation that could be
obtained from the Senate as at present
constituted, with the parties so evenly
divided in the Senate. Democrats should
rejoice that even such substantial pro
gress should have been made in the re
duction of duties and the removal of
commercial restrictions. Had the Dem
ocrats been united.it was possible that
the Republicans could have filibustered
indefinitely and thus have prevented
tariff legislation duriug the present sts
sion.
In pi
ace of damning the Senate bill
with faint praise, and bringing it into
ri iicult and contempt, the Democratic
press should use its intluence to create
a just public opinion as to the real merits
of the Senate bill. When properly pre
sented as the best measure of tariff re
form attainable, the conservative senti
ment of the countrv will settle down to
i the conviction that very substantial
' progress has been m ule in the direction

jonty to do otherwise than adopt a

THE CHINESE TREATY.
ALMOST THE SAME AS NEGO
TIATED BY MB. BAYARD.

Pension Kill AdTersely Re
ported The National Bank
and Treasury Note
Bill Signed.
Washington, Aug. 14. The new
Chinese tre-:. to the ratification of
which the Senate agreed yesterday with
out amendment, is practically the same
convention as that negotiated during
President Cleveland's first administration
by Mr. Bayard, and which the Senate at
that time so loaded down with modifica
tions as to render it obnoxious to the
Chinese Government and caused its fail
ure. The action of the Senate yesterday
is, therefore, regarded by the Department
of. State as a complete vindication of Mr.
Bayard's attempt to provide a fair basis
of understanding between this Govern
ment and the Chinese, and is taken as
fairly indicative of the advanced stand
the American people have taken on the
Mongolian question.
The important point about the treaty
is that it takes the place of the one sided
exclusion laws adopted by Congress, and
in satisfying China, inaugurates a better
feeling between the two interested coun
tries. While it avoids the sting of ex
clusion, it really accomplishes more se
clusion than existing laws, in that it se
cures the cordial cooperation of China
to the end of absolutely prohibiting all
immigration of Chinese laborers for ten
years, and in the second artice gives the
United States Treasury Department au
thority to make restrictive resolutions
for the future, which will permantently
prevent undesirable immigration and
specifically prohibits the naturalization
of Chinese.
The only clause of the treaty not con
tained in the Bayard draft and the one
that has aroused the greatest opposition
is the fifth article, in which the United
States recognizes the right of China to
enforce laws Bimilar to our own exclusion
acts against United States laborers m
China, and provides that the United
States shall furnish the Chinese Govern-
i ment reports giving me name, age, occu-
; provisions reaauy disappear wnenii is
known that this information has been
regularly furnished to the Chinese Gov
ernment for many years, it being the
custom of Americans to register at " our
consulates, and of consuls to furnish these
lists to the local authorities in order that
! protection might be afforded such mis-
i cmnorico anil traw prsin nasf of necessitr.
OIUUUA A VJ Uiuu ' -
When such lists are furnished the
Chinese authorities assume full responsi
bility for the safety of such persons.
There is nothing humiliating about this
registration, as all American travelers
well know. Under the Swiss laws an
1 alien can reside only a fortnight in the
! country except in public hotels, with
j Governmental permission, and the laws
of Germany and France are extremely
! stringent in the same direction, every
alien being under survei lance continually
in those countries. I
It is a maxim of international law that
an alien is amenable to the laws of the
country in which be resides, and by the
present treaty the United States has, by
apparent concessions to China, secured
that country's friendly assistance to the
enforcement of our Chinese exclusion
laws and to the protection of Americans
in China, without making a single prac
tical concession. The fact that the Senate
agreed to the treaty without amendment
and by an overwhelming "majority, in
dicates the confidence of that body that
the interests of the United States are
fully protected.
The President has approved the act to
subject to State taxation national bank
notes and United States treasury notes
The bill introduced by Senator Allen,
Populist, of Nebraska, granting a service

Hushing;. Whiskey Out of Bonded
Warehouses.
Louisville, Aug. 14. The passage of
the tariff bill caused wonderful activity
in the whiskey trade. For months the
distillers and the deah rs have been on
nettles. It was after banking hours
when the news was received, yet in the
remaining hour in which the office of
collector of internal revenue was open
nearly 170,0CX) gallons of whiskey were
taken cut of bond here, and the cash re
ceipts between 3 and 4 o'clock were f 150,
000. .
Cincinnati, Aug. 14. The decisive
action of Congress on the tariff started
active operations in taking whiskey out
of bond here last night. The receipts in
this office average $13,000 a day and yes
day they exceeded 00,000. In Covington,
Ky., the increase was nuch greater.

JHE NiV TARIFF BILLS.
Determined Effort to lw Madr io Ir
imt thftr rAMUi by Hip frnalc
Thelr Paauer Improbable.
Wakiunto.n, Aug. II There
some "?2 of a flurry at -out the Senate
to d f ricg the earlier hours of tiw
e . when the four eparau Tan:!
bills iae over from the Houe, for it
was feared that in some way action
might be forced and a showing of hand
cornp U'd to Ke made. rpocially vu
Uus true .( the bill to put ugar on the
free list. There appears, howtver, to le
no hope for any of these bills to bwome
laws, as there is a disposition on the rart
of the leaders to smother them in com
mittee. The Sugar bill of course po
seases the most political iignilicano and
it cannot be doubted but that there an
very many Democrats who would hkv
the opportunity to vote on the question
of free sugar as an independent proju-i-
tion.
The Republicans can be depended upon
to do all they can to prevent the Demo
crats from carrying out any deire thi y
may have in this direction, and th'y
base their intention upon the statement
that it would be tyad politic. One of
the leaders said to-night that the Repub
licans made free sugar and give the
growers a bounty and that the Demo
crats repealed that law. Now the Dem
ocrats wanted the Republicans to asr-it
them in putting sugar back on the free
list without the bounty. This the Repub
licans will not do.
It is believed that all these bills will be
sent to the Finance committee without
much trouble, this being the usual course.
Should there be any effort on the part of
those anxious for free silver to attempt
to prevent this and secure immediate
action, as Senator Vest suggested to day,
then the bills will be called up one at a
time and made the basis for the forma
tion of another new Tariff bill.
Senator Hill began that work to day
when he gave notice of an amendment
providing for the repeal of the income
tax.
Senator Stewart is ready to lay before
the Senate a free coinage amendment for
each of the independent bills.
Senator Allen will offer as an amend
ment, the Peffer Tariff bill, and Senator
Aldrich will offer an amendment that
repeals the enacting clause of the bills to
which the House agreed yesterday.. A
most determined fight will Ik com
menced, should there be any di-tposition
shown to treat these inde;pendent meas
ures with any degree of seriousness.
In yiew of the anxiety of members of
Congress to get away and secure the close
of all business, it does not apiear how
a quorum can be maintained to keep up
this sort of thing, for the. Republicans
would insist that the Democrats provide
the quorum with which the Senate
should do business. Already Senators
are preparing to leave the city.
Senators Teller and Dixon having
taken their departure. In the House
a number of members have gone and the
prediction is made in the Senate by both
Democrats and Republicans that the end
of this week will find the Senate without
a quorum. The only thing that now
keeps the Senate is the Sundry Civil bill
and the Tariff bill, which will reach the
President to-morrow. With these two
things out of the way there would be no
reason why an adjournment should not
follow. Senators do not place much
faith in the story that the House will re
fuse to adjourn until the Senate acts uion
the bills mentioned, but as soon as mat
ters now attracting the attention of the
Senate are out of the way the House will
be put to the test by the passage on the
part of the Senate of a joint resolution
providing for a time for adjournment.
sine die. Any attempt to irustrate an
adjournment means the inauguration of
a period of filibustering and the con
sumption of time by the Senate with the
inevitable result that nothing will be ac
complished.
Politics in Tennessee.
NASiiviLLEjTenn. , Aug. 14. The Demo
cratic State convention will meet here
to-morrow to nominate a candidate for
Governor. There is no opposition to the
re-nomination of Governor Peter Turney.
which will doubtless be made by acclama
tion. There is much division among
Tennessee Democrats on the silver
question, but the disposition among the
delegates who have .so far arrived is
towards compromise ratner tban conten
tion. This makes it probable that the
financial piank in the platform will de
clare for the coinage of both gold ana
silver at such a ratio as will preserve
the parity of the two metaIr,or some other
indefinite phrase that both factions can
claim as an expret-sion of their views.
The Democratic majority in the recentSu-
preme court judge '-' election over the
Renublican and Populists' fu -ion was
only about 16,j0U and the Republicans
claim that they could have won if their
forces had been thoroughly aroused.
They will make a determined effort to
elect the Populist nominee for Governor
in November and this staU of affairs has
awakened the Democrat to the ne
cessity of preserving prty harmony.
Hun's Cotton Itevlew.
New York, Aug 14. The Sun's cotton
review says: Cotton advanced j to 3
points then receded and closed quiet at a
net advance for the day of 3 to point.
Sales 82,000 bales. Liverpool advanced
l-32d on the spot and 3 to 3T points for
future delivery, closing steady, with spot
sales of 12,000 bales. In Manchester
yarns were in moderate demand, cloths
quiet, i New Orleans was 4 to fi points
higher. Spot cotton wa? steady with
sales of 300 for export and 9 IS for spin
ning. ; Southern spot markets as a rule
were steady and unaltered with very
little business.
To-day's features were: An advance
in Liverpool and the news that the dis
turbing tariff agitatien bad ceased,
together with a demand for spot cotton
and some buying by the shorts, caused
a moderate advance, part of which was
lost before the close. The speculation
continued very light.
