AT WORK ON THE TARIFF SENATORS HOLDING CONFER ENCES ON THE SUBJECT. The Democratic; Members of the Com mittee Now at Work Other Sena tors in Conference Congress man Wilson Improving The Carnegie Company Fined for Furnish ing Inferior Plates. Washington, March 2. The Treasury Department is informed that $1,250,000 of gold was engaged in New York to-day for export to-morrow. The gold is fur nished by the banks in New York. The ratje of exchange now is sufficiently high to; permit gold to be exported at a profit, and further exportation of gold, if the present rate keeps up, is expected. The Senate Finance committee put in another day on the task of framing a Tariff bill that will conciliate all factions f-th "Democratic party and secure the votes of protectionists, tariff reformers and those favoring a "tariff for revenue only." At the end of the day Senator 1oorhees said, good headway had been made. He admitted, however, that no definite conclusion had been reached on the disputed schedules. The finance committee room has not been the only place where interesting conferences took place, for while Senator Voorhees and his associates were at work Senator Morgan and other conservatives were closeted in the room cf the Mary land Senator, and in the room of Sena tor Allison, on the same floor, numerous Republicans were found at various hours, almost the entire day being consumed by Senators Allison and Aldrich in close consultation. Senator Hill was before the Finance committee almost the whole morning and remained during much of the after noon. Iin made a speech in favor of in cidental protection for many of the in dustries in New York and also reiterated his previous remarks in the caucus con cerning the income tax. He declined to talk about the conference, but intimated that he believed the committee would see the necessity of reporting a bill that was satisfactory and that would yield sufficient revenue to meet the necessities of the Government. During the afternoon Senator White, of Louisiana, and Catfery, left Senator Gorman's, room and spent two hours with the committee. All sorts of rumors were spread concerning the outcome of this couference, but whatever was done, the indications are that the result achieved was more satisfactory to the sugar men. than the proposition sub milted to the caucus. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller was also before the committee sometimes, dicussing the the internal revenue schedule, wiiien, of course, includes whiskey. The commis sioner also gave the committee some in formation concraing the amounts that would be received by a tax on sugar on some of the tentative propositions that haye been 'made. The whiskey tax ap pears to have been lost sight of entirely, so little is it discussed. Sen at r Voorhees said this afternoon that he hoped the bid would be ready to lay before the full committee Monday and, at all events, would be completed as speedily as possible. Nothing, he said, would be permitted to stand in the way, atid when his attention was called to the B-and bill, which had passed the House, he said that measure would have to wait until the Tariff bill had been dis posed of. i Representative Srecmnnageor Arkan sas, to-uav received tne roiiowmg leie- grani from Representative Tarsney, who accompanied Representative WiLon to Mexico: ' Gaudalajara, Mex., March 2, '94 Hon, C, jf2.

The nuuhcation was callea out Dy wasning ton dispatch s to the New York Tribune, asserting that defective or inferior armor nlates to the value of some millions ot dollars had been imposed upon the Gov ernment by the Carnegie works, not withstanding the presence in the works of an officer of the ordnance bureau who inspected the plates, and that the matter being discovered, Carnegie and his managing man Frick were sent for to come to Washington last December and had an interview with tne iTtsiaent, which resulted in the imposition or a heavy fine upon tnem. it was not. charged that Carnegie or Frick or any one in his authority at the works was cognizant of the substitution or plates inferior to the test plates, but it was sug gested that the substitution was oy some foreman or other person having an in terest in showing a greater percentage of excellence in his work than the facts warranted. The penalty imposed on the Carnegies was 1U per cent, on tne amount of the contract price or tne plates delivered. secretary iieroerts statement in regard to the matter is sub joined. The Secretary, adds that the Tribune s suggestion tnat ine impusiwu of this fine had anything to uo with Carnegies celeOratea letter oi January 3rd. just previous to his sailing for Europe, m whicn ne. gave a quaimcu approval of the Wilson bill, is entirely gratuitous. The matter, he says, was entirely a business transaction between Mr. Carriegie and the Department, and, aa siirrh. has been closed. su-rptarv Herbert's official statement is as follows: ' "Early in December last, the Depart ment ascertained that illegal practices were being resorted to by some of the enmloves of the Carnesrie Steel company at Pittsburg, in the manufacture of armor for the Government, and that these irregularities had been continued for some time.

Into Eternitv at 10:33 O'clock Last Night Surrounded by Friends and Relations Fun eral Arrangements to be Announced Later. Ltnchburg, Va.. March 2. United States Senator John W. Daniel walked into the News office at 11 o'clock to-night and in a sad voice announced that his old commander, Gen. Jubal A. Early, at whose bedside he has been a constant watcher for some days, had gone to his eternal rest. Gen. Early died at 10:35 o'clock," He passed away quietly in the presence of his family physician, his kindred and several intimate friends. The old gen eral seemed aware of his approaching end early in the day. Before noon he called for the morning paper, an was his invari able custom, and attempted to read, but found that his sight was failing. Soon afterwards he handed his hand to Senator Daniel and calmly said: "I want you to tell you good-bye, Major." He then told his nephew, Cabell Early, farewell, after which he dropped into a quiet slumber. Later in Iheday the dying veteran asked Senator Daniel not to leave the room, as he wanted to talk with him about certain 'arrangements, but from that time he suffered such in tense pain that he did not revive the sub j "ct. He met death unflinchingly with his hand resting quietly in Senator Daniel's. . No arrangemr nts have been made for the funeral and none will be made be fore to-morrow. Private telegrams have been sent by Senator Daniel to many of Gen. Early's ex-ooniederate comrades, many of whom will no doubt come here to attend tne burial. It is thought that Gen. Early has left a good estate, though he was a man of astonishing generosity, especially to wards his numerous relatives and needy ex-Confederates. COMMERCIAL NEWS. Stocks and' Bonds In New York. The Grain aud Provision Markets of Chicaso. New York, March 2. The engage ment of $1,250,000 gold shipment to France by to-morrow's steamer checked the raising tendency of the stock market soon after the opening this morning. The renewal of the export movement completely overshadowed the passage of the Bland Seigniorage bill by the House late yesterday. It is not thought the measure will receive Executive sanction, even if it should pass the Senate and, consequently, the Street to-day paid but little attention to the matter. Kailway returns for January were better than generally expected and had a sustaining influeuce for a time. The Burlington and Quincy statement, wa3 particularly good, showing an increase Tn surplus of over $70,000. Sugar and Whiskey were again the features of the market. Sugar opened simultaneously at 83 T to 84 i. after which there wras a gradual appreci ation to 85. Later, a decline to 83i fol lowed. Whiskey ranged between 24 to 23i, closing at 24 J. These stocks are still sensitive to Washington advices, and move up or down acc rding to the tenor of the reports - from the capital. New lork Central rose to 100 at one time, and a good premium was exacted for the use of the stock. A number of 60-day options fell due to-day and the shorts had considerable litHculty to get back their contracts. The Grangers, Anthracite Coalers and the trunk lines ruled firm until the last hour, when the bears made a concerted attack on the list, and it was rumored at "this time . that the Bland Seigniorage bill would get through the Senate. The re sult of this raid was a decline all along the line of i to If per cent. American Sugar, Chicago Gas, Rock Island, St. Paul, Burlington and Quincey, General Electric and Louisville and Nashville scored the heaviest losses. Manhattan, after rising per cent, to 126, fell to 124. The market closed weak. Net changes showed losses of i to 1 for the day. The sales were 197,000. Railway and mis cellaneous bonds were active and strong. Chicago, March 2. Orders from New York this morning showed an apparent change of front on the part of operators in w heat in that city. Yesterday they were vigorous opponents of an advance; to-day they were evidently working for higher prices. The opening showed an aooreciation over night of ic, with a feeling of firmness, which gave way upon the selling out of a line purchased a few days ago by a professional trader of some renown. After the pres sure was removed a stronger tone developed. Eastern buying orders became numerous, and under their influence, backed by the fact that but little wheat was offered, quite a material advance was made. When the advance had culminated there was a disposition shown by early buyers to secure their pronts, and prices turned downward. The selling movement became general and the advance was totally lost. The decline even went further, ar d at the dose there was a net k ss of i to e from yesterday. The reported gold exports from New York was a lactor m tne late decline. May opened ic higher than yesterday's close at 60f c, ranged between 0 to 61c and 59c, and closed at 60 to 60ic. . .. . , Corn showed a stronger reeling, inde pendent of that exhibited by wheat. It was partially due to the report tnac a prominent local professional who some time ago made large profits on the short side, was now long a big line of corn, and was pushing his advantage. Shorts showed nervousness and made haste to cover their contracts. May ranged -be tween 36ic and 3 eje, closing at 3bJ to 361c, a gain of ic for the day. The cash demand was good. Oats were dull and prices were con fined within narrow limits. The feeling was similar to that shown by corn. The close was a shade better than yesterday. Cash oats were in fair demand and hiher for white, but steady for mixed. Provisions were again in line with the lower hog market. The trading was light and a dull and uninteresting mar ket was the result. The close showed a loss of 15c for the day in May pork, at to 5c in 'May lard ant 7Jc n May rib3. There was a fair cash demand for domes tic consumption. Av one in possession of 35 cents can go to the nearest dealer inmedioines and pro cure a bottle of Salvation Oil and be cured at once of reheumatism, neuralgia or any pain or ache.

WILMINGTON, N.'C, SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1894. ft SENSATIONAL SESSION TWO CONGRESSMEN NEARLY CAME TO BLOWS. The Pension Bill Before the House Made a Subject of Personal At- ; tacks The Fortifications Bill Passed Ex-Speaker Grow Sworn in as a Member -, of the House of Rep-,; 1 , y resentatives. Washington, March 2. The calm after the 6torm was particularly notice able in the appearance of the House this morning. The galleries were compara tively deserted, and the floors were almost positively bare of members. . A general air of listlessness marked the demeanor of the two or three score Re publicans in their seats. They did not even seem, to be interested in their mail or the morning papers, in which they made a pretense of engaging themselves. At the request of Mr. Dockery, the report of the auditor of the World's Fair, showing receipts and expenditures, was ordered to be printed in the record, to complete the Congressional history of that -affair. Mr. Kilgore offered his resolution orig inally introduced Wednesday .relating to the enforcement of the law directing th8 sergeant at-arms to withhold the per diem of members for absences, except on account of sickness, and it was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. An interesting incident marked the proceedings at this point. Taking a place in the centre ai-les, Mr. Holman, the "father of the House" addressed the chair. He said that thirty -one years ago the Hon. Galusha A. Grow had left the place now filled with so much honor by the Speaker, at a period when the coun try was in the throes of civil war. Now, after this long period, Mr. Grow returned to the House, having been elected last week a Representative-at-Large from the State of Pennsylvania. He asked unanimous consent chat Mr. Grow, wno was present, be now sworn in, the cer tificate of the Governor not having yet arrived. There was no objection, and, leaning upon the arm of Mr. Holman, the vener able ex-Speaker appeared before the bar and the oath was administered to him by Speaker Crisp. His 70 years did not appear to sit heavily upon him and his bearing was as vigorous as that shown in his portrait which has for many years adorned the corridor of the hall. -At the conclusion of the ceremony, there was a gentle ruund of applause, and members crowded about him to grasp his hand and welcome the new-old member into their midst. The routine of proceedings was re sumed, and Mr. Boatner endeavored to secure consideration for the resolution agreed upon by the Committee on Judi ciary, directing an investigation of the injunction issued by Judge Jenkins, for bidding the employes of the Northern Pacific railroad to strike against the schedule of wages promulgated by the receivers. Mr. Kilgore objected, demanding the regular order. The House resolved itself in Committee of the Whole and took up the Fortifica tions bill. The appropriation carried in the bill, as reported, amounted to $2,219. 654, being $,21S759 less than the esti mates and $9,599 more than the total of the last Fortifications bill. Under the five-minute rule the amend ments recommended by the committee we e agreed to and the bill was reported to the House, the amendments agreed to and the bill passed. The House again went into Committee of the V hole on the Pension A ppropria- tion bill. This bill carries an appropria tion of $lol,581,670 for the year 1894-'9o, against estimates ot $162,631,570rand an appropriation for the present year of $161,531,350. The debate upon the bill soon became political and heated and from that to personal. Mr. O'Neil, of Massachusetts, chairman of the sub-committee in charge of the bill, made a statement covering the movement of the total of the pension roll in recent years, to show why the proposed reduction had been made in the bill from the amount of estimates. He was questioned by Mr. Hudson, Populist, of Kansas, and Mr. Johnson, Republi can, of Indiana, as to the policy of the pension bureau. He answered that, as a member of the committee, he did hot understand nor believe that the com missioner of pensions desired or had made anv attempt to reduce the allowance oi pensions, because of the depleted condi tion of the treasury. The force of the clerks was generally the same as under Gen. Raum and was working only under instructions to enforce the law as they found it. The unexpended balance of the appropriation that was expected to remain at the close of the present fiscal vear would not be caused, he said, by the suspension of pensions, for most of the suspensions have been revoked and-the pensioners have been paid the full amount due them. Mr. Grout, of Vermont, criticised Pen sion Commissioner Lochren and the pen sion policy of the administration. He referred at length to the order taking awav from the local examining boards the Dower to fix the rate of disability and said that the soldier was far safer with them even thoueh they were com posed in some instances of ex-Confeder ates, than to be left to the tender mercies of the pension bureau, with the duty assigned it of providing for a large treas urv deficiency. Mr. Meredith, of Virginia, said that he came from a State that paid five times as much as the Green Mountain State, from hich the last speaker came, for persions, but which got no benefit there from. - - ; Mr. Johnson, Republican, of Indiana -That's because you were on the wrong side, wasn't it? Mr. Meredith Mar be so. But I want to remind the gentleman that the differ ence between a patriot and a rebel ia that success makes one and defeat the other. ' Mr. Livingstone, of Georgia That was- the case in '76 any how. Jontinuing, Mr. Meredith said be and tne people he represented believed that the pension roll should be a roll of honor and not contain the names of persons who are not entitled to a pension, of which class there are hundreds and thousands on the roll to day. Mr. Hopkin3, Republican,, of Illinois, asked if it was not the action'of the gen tleman's State and others South of him that caused the existence of that pension roll. Mr. Meredith No sir. it was due to the gentlemen who force! that issue upon us when we wanted peace. We Highest of all in Leavening have no complaint against the men who are entitled to a place on the pension list. It is against those who began fight ing immediately after the war and kept it up, that we complain. S As Mr. Meredith was about to takeNhis seat, Mr. Baker, Republican, of New Hampshire, requested him to make known the proof of his statement that the pension roll contained hundreds of fraudulent names. To this he replied that a certain pensioner in his personal knowledge was strong and healtlful,and that he believed he (the pensioner) had foresworn himself in order to gain the benefit of the law. This case was, in his opinion, the type of many others. Mr. Baker remarked that the gentle man had given no proof to the couutry nor to the House of his statement, noth ing but assertions. Mr. Funk, Republican, of Illinois, sug gested that if the gentleman from Vir ginia believed what he said to be true and did not denounce the pensioner to the proper authorities, he was not a good citizen. The tenor of this remark was evidently misunderstood by Mr. Meredith to be a reflection upon his veracity, for, with arms uplifted and menacing tone, he left the place where he had been speaking and approached the desk of the erentle- maa from Illinois, in the centre almost oi toe Kepubhcan seats. 'Tf the gentle man means to insinuate," he shouted, "that I am not telling the. truth " , The Republican members crowded around the two'prineipal participants in the scene, and Mr. Payne," Republican, of New York, stood between them, "Rf l.1 1 . 3 I , , i mi, j.- uua. icsjiuuueu, as neany as coma be made out in the hubbub and confu sion, "I did not say that the gentleman was telling an untruth, but that if it were true, he was not a good citizen if he did not present the case to the au thorities, and," shaking his fist in Mr. Meredith's face, who still had his arm uplifted, "I stand by that here and else where." The uproar was now at it hpicrHfc the- shouting of the gentlemen could not be understood at the desk, but in a moment Speaker Crisp seized the gavel and called upon the sergeant-at-arms to re store order. Col. Snow ran into the midst of the crowd, commanding- mem bers to take their seats. Mr. Meredith withdrew to his own side and stood, de manding recognition of the chair, until ordered by the Speaker to take his seat. When order was restored he was per mitted to proceed. He said he was not excited and that nothiner that he had recently witnessed over there (indi cating by a motion of his head the Republican side) was calculated to excite bim. There was a wav. however. in which he could be excited, but he opined that no gentleman on the other side of the House would talk that way upon the floor of the House, and he therefore would dismiss the recent inci dent. He desired to say, in response to the gentleman from Illinois, that he was not required to act as a spy or informer, and that he refused to act in that ca pacity. On motion of Mr. O'Neill, the com- mi'tee roset the conclusion of Mr-3Iere- dit'.;'s remarks, and at 4:35 o'clock the House took a recess until 8 o'clock, the night session to be1 for the consideration of private pension bills only.

The details of the gigantic bank robbery of Minneapolis have come out in sensational sequence through three days' pumping of Phil Schieg. teller of the bank up to Sep tember 2, 1892. In a few years Schieg stole over $123,000. Over $50,000 of this he embezzled prior to January 1, 1892, The bank officials found him out in his first theft and discharged him, but in a few days re-employed him at an increase of $25 a month. He resumed his steal ings almost the moment he resumed his place at the teller's window and in twenty months stole $73,000 more. This drove Cashier Bofferding, who was Schieg's constant friend, to suicide, Scheig is already serving a sentence of seven years in Stillwater for his gigantic thett, and the testimony he is giving is in the case of Frank and Lou Floyd, his pals. Asked if he robbed one depositor to pay another, he said: "No, 1 never robbed a depositor. , I robbed the bank I took in round numbers, as I know from the books now, about $124,000. I never made out any certificates to the name of any one who had paid in no money. lhe nrst money I took was October 14th, 1886 From that time to July, 1889, I did not take a cent. The first amount was 100. I charged up a certificate of de posit thaf had not come in. I took steadily after the second amount stolen m.1890. The last money l stole was about 3 o'clock p. m. on September 2nd, 1892. I donEt know just how much money was oil the counter at the time. I had control of about $152,000.

March 2. Raleigh's new daily paper, the Evening Press, is to appear March 28th.

The reports from the various parts of the State where truck crops are growing show that the damage by the late cold snap and snow were trifling.

The Radical agita tion over the selection of Lord Roseberry as the successor of Gladstone continues unabated. A majority of the Radical leaders, while preferring a Commoner, are disposed to acquiesce in the leader ship of Lord Roseberry, but the extrem ists vehemently oppose his appointment. declaring that if Lord Roseberry is made Premier the existence of the Ministry will not be prolonged beyond a week. Even some of. the more moderate Radi cals express fear that Gladstone's with drawal means the breaking up of the party, which his personal influence has held together.
