THE GERMS OF ANARGHY
SENATOR ALLEN ATTACKED
BY SENATOR HAWLET.
He Denounces the 8ri intents Ur.
tered by the Nebraskan on the
Subject or Receiving Coxey's
Army Looking to Repeal
of the State Bank Tax -Much
Ado About
Nothing.
SENATE.
Washington, April 20. Senator
Sherman, a member of the Committee
on Foreign Relations, introduced, ex
plained, and had passed by the Senate a
bill to amend the first
Behring Sea act of the 6th inst., by in
serting the word: -Inclusive" instead
of the word: "Exclusive." As amended.
the section reads that it shall not be
lawful to kill, capture, or pursue seals
within a zone of sixty geographical miles
around the Pribyloff islands, "inclusive
of the territorial writers, (the three mile
zone).
Senator Sherman said that he was sat
isfied that the error had not been made
in the office of the Secretary of the Sen
ate, but in the printing office. The
error, he added , had already been cor
rected by correspondence between the
State Department and the Ttritfah
Minister.
Senator Gordon offered a resolution
instructing the Committee on Finance to
report a Diu to repeal the law authoriz
ing a 10 per cent, tax on State bank
issues and stated some points in support
of the DroDosition. Tho first.
was that a repejal of that tax would do
more than anyiother Dossible lecislation
to bring quiet to the country, to settle
tne disturbing hnancial eontroversv and
to relieve the question of its somewhat
sectional character. The resolution
was referred to the Finance committee.
The Peffer resolution, relating to the
Coxey army was again taken ud. and a
strong denunciation of it and of the
speech of the Populist from Nebraska
(Allen) yesterday, was made by Senator
Hawley, who said :
"Mr, President, I prefer that a Repre
sentative of the dominant party should
make some observations upon this mat
ter, but the Senator from Missouri yields
to me. l am sure that the remarkable
speech of the Senator from Nebraska
ought not to go forth to the country as
in any degree representative of the views
of the Senate, and it ought not to pass
without some conservative comment and
dissent. I confess it pained and sur
prised me very much. I think that there
is not a Senator; that there is not a
sensible citizen in the United States who
does not profoundly svmDathize with
the tens and hundreds of thousands,
and I may say millions of people, suf-
fering in the present extraordinary
financial and business crisis. With ex
pressions of impatience or resentment,
every kind and thoughtful man will be
very patient indeed, nor does any man
in the world think of restraining or
overruling the right of the people in the
language of the Constitution to "peace
ably assemble and petition for a redress
of grievances. But there have been cir
cumstances arising in the last month or
two that do not come precisely within
that category. Ad the world is informed
from day to day that bodies of men are
assembiing as by concert in widely sepa
rated sections of the country and
marching towards the capital of the
United States with the purpose of as
sembling here on or about the first of
May to make some political demonstra
tion by gathering, as they threatened, in
front of the Capitol in a multitude to be
addres8ed.by their orators, and demand
ing also that they shall, by their repre
sentatives, march bodily into this Cham
ber to be heard. I need not say that
that is an extraordinary course of pro
ceeding which is without precedent in
the United States or any where, unless it
be found in the colonial days in New
Hampshire, when a body of men took
possession of the Legislature, or to go
farther back, when the Gauls marched
into the Roman Senate and shook the
venerable beards of the Senators.
"The right of the people to assemble,
the right, ff you choose, however mis
judged the movement may be, to come
here and assemble, am not questioning;
but I wish simply to suggest respectfully
that the Senate of the United States owes
something to ifcs own traditions and dig
nity the House of Representatives will
take care of itself and that what we
say or do in this matter in this Chamber
in this first precedent, which may pos
sibly be followed, should be done
thoughtfully and carefully. It is quite
possible to manage this business gently
and firmly and h&ve ft pass away, and
it is quite possible io &o man
age it that it may become f habit
to make pilgrimages annually to Cong
ress, .and endeavor to dominate Cong
ress by the physiciai presence of the peo
ple. The men coming here say they are
the people and the Senator frooJ Ne
braska speaks of ibem as 'the people ?
He says the people want this; the people
want to do this; the people oave a rigni
to camd here, and have a right to fill
the galleries, and all that. They may
haye and they may not, sir. We have
more authoritative advice and impera
tive coiurands from the people of the
United States than Mr. Coxey can pos
siblv bring. We have h&4 our advice
eiven us for a hundred years in the Con
stitution, in the statutes of the States, in
the laws of the District of Columbia, and
in the traditions and rules of the Senate
The will of Ilia people is here carefully
sifted out by a most pomplex and uni
versal system of selection by jLLb yotes of
the neoule. br the action of their repre
sentatives, by the action of the men who
from personal interests, wen as mo
fives of patriotism, are extremely deEir
mm to i-lo iust what the people think
ought to be dong.
"Now, sir, it is a matter of common
sense, and not 'infamous,' as the Senator
from Nebraska said, that the behavior of
multitudes around this Capitol and these
squares her j should be carefully regu
lated by laws and rules anoi. that a sunr
cient body of policemen, and, in thus case
of riot, a body of muitia should be here to

manner he did. It is a credit to the
Government, sir. t waa thought wise
by the best; men that, instead of being

represent the ge$$ voice of the Ameri-
rmlA. As to their complaining of
the present situation, so far as it is due to
the generally aisturoeu """
;"t,6f .t,A world. I have little to say
but they do not represent the American
people in the manner or avowed purpose
of their coming. They come here to
make an impression upon Congress by
mere physical presence. We read old
romances of the oppressed subject who
struggled to get in the way of his ruler
and thrust himself prostrate in the dust
under the feet of the horse which bore
the Emperor, that he might prefer his
humble petition. No American citizen
prefers a petition in that way.
' "I am sorry to say it, but I feel bound
to say it, that the speech of the Senator
from Nebraska, was one that would
have been received with tumultuous ap
plause in a meeting of Anarchists. It
had in it, not requiring a microscope, but
visible to the naked eye, the bacteria
and bacilli of anarchy."
The whole of Senator Hawley's ener
getic speech attracted much attention in
the Senate, and the last utterance made
a sensation.
Senator Allen was immediately on his
feet, claiming recognition; but, at this
critical moment the hour of i o'clock p.
m., arrived and the Tariff bill was laid
before the Senate. ' ......
Senator Quay yielded his right to the
floor in favor of Senator Gallinger, who
addressed the Senate against the pend
ing Tariff y bill. He spoke for nearly
three hours, and was followed by Sen
ator McMillan also in opposition to the
bill. "When he concluded Senator Dolph
addressed the Senate in opposition to the
bill. He had only been speaking three
quarters of an hour when the hour for
the daily closing of the debate arrived.
He will continue his speech to-morrow.
Notice was given by Senator Gray of
an amendment to the rules to the effect
that no Senator shall read his speech, or
read from any book or paper except to
quote an authority, or to illustrate a
point or argument.
After a short executive session, the
Senate at 5:15 o'clock adjourned until to
morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
At the opening of the session of the
House to-day Mr. Burrows, called aen
tion again to the expanding in the re
cord of a speech delivered the other day
by Mr. Wheeler, upon the quorum
counting rule, suggesting that the gen
tleman was in his seat and might be able
to make such an explanation of it as
would make further action unnecessary.
Mr. Wheeler said he thought it in
very bad tast for a gentlemen who had
been leading a revolutionary movement
in the House and, it might be said,
whose hands were red with blood of par
parliamentary proceedings, who had
been engaged in assassinating par
liamentary days, to raise the objection
that had been made. He admitted that
he should have first received the consent
of the House for the insertion of his ex
tended remarks; but in extenuation, as
it were, called attention to the general
extent to which the . rule had been ig
nored in the past. He had never uttered
a word in the entire course of his career
that was not dictated by the kindliest
feelings, and always with a desire to do
his duty to his country, to his constitu
ents and to the House. He asked, in
conclusion, unanimous consent that his
remarks as printed be permitted to re
main as if delivered at that time.
Mr. Burrows said he had directed the
attention of the House to this matter be
cause it seemed to be a flagrant yiola
tion of the House rule. Consent had
been asked thaf gentlemen be permitted
to extend their remarks, and it had been
distinctly refused. In the face of that,
the genileman from Alabama had incor
porated four and a half columns of the
record into an allowance of one min
ute's time, and then made the Speaker
say at the close: "The time of the gentle
man has expired."
This caused the Speaker to smile
broadly and the members generally to
laugh.
Ihe laughter was renewed when Mr.
Johnson, the fastest talker in the House,
expressed tne hope that Mr. Burrows
would not consider rapidity of utter
ance good ground for criticism.
Mr. Dockery moved that the matter
be referred to the Committee on Print
ing, with a right to report at any time.
Mr. W heeler said he wanted the whole
matter blotted out. Whereupon Mr.
Burrows and other Republicans objected.
a rom mis a parliamentary tangle en
sued, the result of which was that Mr.
Dockery withdrew his motion to refer
the matter to the .committee on printing.
Jttr. Mcitae orxered a motion then to
permit the gentleman from Alabama, to
withdraw from the record the remarks
in controversy.
Mr. Keed moved to amend by adding
'that the speech delivered be inserted in
their place."
This being agreeable to Mr. Wheeler.
it was adopted and then unanimous con
sent was given that the gentleman
might print in the record the speech
which had just been ordered to be with
drawn. This result was received with
general laughter and applause and Mr.
Wheeler was congratulated upon the
successful and happy conclusion of the
matter.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole for consideration of bills
on the private calendar.
Nearly the whole afternoon was spent
in discussing the bill to pay $22,000 to
IIirm Johnson and others, being the
amount ot a military assessment levied
by Gen. Sullivan upon sundry citizens
of Tennessee during the war. " "Without
coming to any conclusion, the commit
tee rose and three bills were passed.
On motion or Mr. McCreary the Senate
bill to remedy the typographical error in
tne Diij passed on the oth inst. to put
into effect the regulations of the Bering
sea tribunal of arbitration, was taken up
ana passed.
At o ciocK the House took a re
cess until 8 o'clock, the evening session
being for the consideration of private
pension bills. .

WILMINGTON, K C, SATURDAY, APRIL 2f,
THINGS RATHER MIXED.
UNCERTAINTY ABOUT
DISPENSARY LAW.
THE
No Body Certain as to What the Law
is No Provision for Punishment
for Sale of Idqnor, Though its
Sale Is Prohibited People
at sea' as to the Situa
tion The Dispensa
ries to Close. -
Columbia, S. C, April 20. The dis
pensary decision has left " things in this
State in doubt. At first it was '-thought
that the decision was a complete knock
out for the dispensaries. It has probably
done so, but there are many perplexing
elements about the whole matter' which
leaves the situation muddled. It is now
claimed that the decision was that every
part of the act was unconstitutional ex
cept that part which forbids the grant
ing of licenses for the sale of whiskey.
If t&at ;-Y pej-tion -j iaufanstiiutional
it 'changes the phase of affairs,
but the curious part is that if
licenses cannot be issued, no punishment
is provided for those who do business.
The saloon men here have not opened
and are awaiting, developments. They
are afraid to open business publicly until
there is a settlement of . the interestine
and doubtful questions. Governor Till
man s absence trom the city adds to the
uncertainty, as everybody is waiting to
see what he is going to do. He will re
turn to-night and to-morrow the pro
gramme of the State may be unfolded.
Dispensaries are still doing business
throughout the State and there is no
probability that they will be closed for
some time, although injunctions may be
gotieii out agaiui mem.
It is claimed by administration sup
porters that the decision onlv affects the,
law which was repealed by the last ses
sion of the Legislature and not the law
now m ettect. The cases under which
the law was decided were brought under
tne old law. the presenfrlaw, however,
contains the came features which have
been declared unconstitutional and the
court would decide the same wa r with
the recent law. There is also talk of the
State asking for a re-hearing of the case.
Charleston, S. C, April 20. The
correspondent of the News and Courier
at Columbia, wires that a member of the
State board of control has informed him
that the board will issue orders to-mor
row closing everv disnensarv in the
State.-
. Bradstreet's Report.
New York, April 20. Bradstreet's
to-morrow will say: With the exception
of the prospect for a still further exten
sion of strikes and other labor distur
bances, no plainly retarding influence is
manifesting itself.
So far as learned, there are about
twenty-three additional strikes involv
ing 21,000 people. This brings the total
number of those now on strike or idle
because of strikes, up to 60.000. The
week also furnishes eleven shut
downs of important industrial es
tablishments, more than - off -set
by resumptions at thirty-two others.
which furnishes employment to 5,000
operatives, although seven important
establishments announce reductions of
wages. The widely-heralded announce
ment that 200,000 coal miners will strike
to day has occasioned uneasiness among
manufacturers at many Central and
Western cities, owing to the prospective
scarcity of fuel.
Ihe tendency of prices of staples has
been upward in most instances notably
in breadstuffs and produce, leather, iron
and steel, rice, corn, oats, pork and lard,
wniie the reverse is true as to price of
hogs, wheat and sugar, cotton quota
tions remaining practically unchanged.
Among the Southern cities no improve
ment or change within the past week is
reported from Charleston, Nashville, At
lanta, Birmingham and Little Rock, at
all of which points general business is
quiet. Mobile claims trade is fair in most
lines, Memphis specifying groceries and
plantation supplies, and Chattanooga
groceries. "
At Savannah naval stores are firmer,
and Thursday recorded the largest day's
sales of turpentine ever reported.
Jacksonville reports a heavy straw
berry crop and prospects for a good sum
mer trade in that State.
There is an improved demand for
groceries and produce at New Orleans,
as well as for rice.
Pleasant weather has stimulated job
bing in all lines at Galveston as at all
other Texas points and at Augusta, Ga.,
business is said to be good and prospects
bright, while dividends have beep de
olared by two cotton factories.
The Coxey Army Net to Parade on
the Capitol Grounds.
Washington, April 20. The Senate
Committee on Rules held a meeting this
afternoon at which the advance of
Coxey and his army was discussed. It
was decided that it was not necessary for
the committee to take any steps,
but the whole matter f should
be left to the sergeant-at-arms, who
is the custodian of the building. This
official says that no parade will be per
mitteds for that is in direct violation of
a statute that has always been enforced,
but if the members of Coxey's army
come to the Capitol a3 other citizens,
they will not be molested so long as they
obey the laws and preserve order - and
decorum.
Coxey and his party are encamped on
the fair grounds at Hagerstown, Md..
to-day and are faring very comfortably .
None of the detachments from other di
rections have as yet formed a junction
with Coxey, and his command numbers
about 200 4nen only.

The sales of the entire list were 151,000
shares and of this amount Chicago Gas
figured for 36,310 shares. The stock

Missouri Pacifici Lead, Tobacco, Big

Chicago, April 20. What will be done
with the long May wheat still remaining
open is the question at present agitating
the minds of the wheat speculators. One
of two things must be done. Either the
wheat must be accepted and paid for, or
it must be liquidated. If deception is
not being practiced by those who are in
a position to know, there are many mil
lion bushels bought for May delivery
which have no sale yet recorded to
round up the transactions. But a few
more days remain before the greatest
wheat delivery day of the year will be at
hand, and some action is, therefore,
looked for very speedily. This condition
of affairs was the main reason for a
quiet market to-day, traders feeling dis
posed to await developments. Pard
ridge's Belling, which extended oyer the
entire session, was the principal feature
of the business. Wheat opended un
changed from yesterday at 59ic, sold be
tween 58 ic and 59 c, closing at the out
side, a net gain of ic for the day.
The range of values in the corn market
was narrow, but the feeling was very
firm. May corn opened unchanged from
yesterday at 39c, ranged between 39c
and 39c, closing at 39 to 39c.
Oats continued to hold steadfastly to
the strength which has governed the
trade for many days past- To the shorts,
the strength seems in explicable, but
they are on the alert to cover upon any
symptoms of an advance. They were
the best buyers to-day. May closed with
a net gain ofic over yesterday. Cash
oats were easier with prices ic lower. i
Provisions opened easy under the i
usual influence the hog market which
was weak. Prides declined out of pro- i
portion with those at the yards, the
mcst of the selling being done by Ken
nett, Hopkins & Co. The talk was that
Bloom was letting ott the remnants of
his long pork. Others, who view the
situation with suspicion, were inclined
to the belief that it was a "shake-out"
for the purpose of obtaining cheaper
product. After the pressure was re
moved there was a rally to prices. Lard
showed a firmer front than either pork
or ribs. May pork closed 7Jc under
yesterday. May lard 74 c higher and May
ribs 2c higher.
The His Strike To-Day.
Columbus, O., April 20. President
McBride, of the United Mine Workers,
made to-day the following estimate of
the miners that will go out at noon to
morrow and their distribution among
the States: Pennsylvania 50,000, Ohio
26,000, Iowa 5,000, West Virginia 6,000,
Tennessee and Kentucky 5,000, Missouri
3,000, Alabama 8,000, r Colorado 4,000,
Indian Territory 2,000. The total is 132,
OlK). Thewe figures include, he explains,
only those miners who have already de
clared their intention to go out. He
feels sure that others will join in the
strike to-morrow, and on or before May
1st, he is confident that the, movement
will be joined by 20,000 miners in the
region of Pennsylvania. Eventually he
says the anthracite miners will join in the
strike, numbering 125,000. Encouraging
telegrams were received from Organizers
Tom Farr in West Virginia and Cameron
Miller in Indiana this morning. Secre
tary P. A. McBride, left to day for Illi
nois. President McBride will remain at
headquarters here for the present and
conduct the strike from this point.
Cotton Mills Closing Down.
Manchester, N. H., April 20, The
Amdskeag corporation announces that
their mills, No. 3 and No. 4, will shut
down May 5th indefinitely, owing to a
lack of orders. Twenty -five hundred
looms, involving the work of 2,000 opera
tives will be affected. In addition to this
the other mills of the corporation will
commencing Mondayj May 7th, be put

absolutely are those making the coarse
goods the denims and shirtings, the de
mand for which has failed off almost
altogether. The portion that will be con

the corporation from $50,000.' a week to
between $22,000 and $23,000 and reduce
the weekly output from 2,000,000 yards
a week to 900,000 yards. TheAmoskeag

"Senator Jar vis throws down the
gauntlet to Senator Ransom." That is
the remark heard at all hands. It will
all add immensely to the interest of the
coming campaign, which will most cer
tainly be a memorable one. Senator
Ransom's friends think him invincible,
and he has certainly won in some great
battles. Senator Jarvis will hold the
Vance seat until the Legislature meets,
when he will drop out and let a West
ern man take it to fall out the two years
which will then remain and he will fight
Ransom. . Had he not been appointed,
he would have thus wrestled with Sena
tor Ransom for the mastery. In other
words, his plans have not been changed.
His commission was issued this mornine
and bears date yesterday. His open letter
to the people, published this morning, is
regarded as a bold stroke.
Two attempts have been made to burn
houses in East Raleigh. Last night the
