jaE WILL HAVE NO INCOME
TAX OR NO TARIFF BILL.
The Democratic Sena' rxial Caucus
Votes to Adopt the Finance
Committee's Compromise Tar
iff Bill Senator Hill Alone
.Opposes the Action of
the Caucus in This
Matter.
Washington, May 3. By a vote of 37
to 1, six of the forty-four Democrats be
ing absent, the Democratic Senators in
caucus to-day adopted a resolution agree
ing to support the bill of the Finance
committee, including the compromise
amendments that have been agreed upon
by the many conferences of Democratic
Senators during the past two week. The
resolution was presented by Senator Gor
man and discussed at some length, as the
session lasted from a few minutes past 4
o'clock until nearly 7 o'clock.
The six absent Senators were Senators
Mills, Murphy, Lindsay, Irby, Butler
and Gibson. It was claimed that they
were all accounted , f or and assurances
were given that they would support the
Tariff bill. The only persons in whose
absence there might be any significance
are Senators Murphy and Mills, the un
derstanding being that all others were
in accord with any bill supported by the
majority of the Democratic Senators.
Senator Mills was not at the Senate
during the day. and the call for the
caucus was sent to his house. It is be
lieved that he has some objections to the
concessions that have been made, but he
ha3 previously announced that he would
support any bill that proyided for reduc
tions in the present law. Senator Mur
phy's caucus notice was also sent to his
residence as he was absent from
the Capitol. His position has all
along been one of doubt, but sev
eral Democratic Senators assert that he
will support the bill, and he is counted
in the forty-three which are claimed as
certain to vote for the bill. The other
absentees are either out of the city or !
failed to secure notice in time. Some of
them have been counted as against the
bill and it was said that they would en
dorse the action of the caucus.
In presenting the resolution and stat
ing the object of the caucus, Senator
Gorman made a conciliatory speech. He
said it was necessary to make conces
sions in order to secure the united
support of the party and he further as
serted that it would need a Democratic
majority to pass the bill. He stated that
concessions had been made on all sides
and it was believed that the measure
with the proposed amendments would
now meet with the support which was
absolutely necessary to pass a Demo
cratic Tariff bilL
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, the mem
ber of the Finance committee who has
taken the most active part in the prepa
ration of the amendments, known as the
Compromise bill, made a speech in which
he explained at length the proposed
amendments and told why they were
necessary. He did not discuss nor read
all of them, and selected the most im
portant and those affecting the greatest
interests.
Senator McPherson, of New Jersey,
spoke in support of the resolution and
dwelt at some length upon the conces
sions which Northern and Eastern Demo
crats had . been obliged to make and
what they had to give up in order to
meet the demands of the South and
West. He claimed that the concessions
that were talked of by the other Sena
tors were not wholly on one side.
Senators Palme- and Vilas made long
and vigorous speeches urging party
harmony and the necessity of early
action.
Great interest centered : in the speech
of Senator Smith, of New Jersey, and
his remarks were receiyed with a great
deal of satisfaction, for while he said he
was not satisfied with the bill and was
unalterably opposed to the income tax,
he was ready to support the measure
with the amendments which had been
agreed upon, although he claimed that
what were called concessions by the
Southern and Western men were but
small compared with concessions which
Eastern Senators made in supporting the
bill with the income tax provision.
Senator Hill, of New York, was not
placated. He spoke only a short time,
but it was long enough for him to con
vince the caucus that his vote would not
be for the bill if the income tax remained
in it. He said his position was well
known; he had made his statement be
fore the country and there was nothing
t add t J what he had said. Whatever
the so-called concessions might be, they
could not compensate for a rider in the
bill which nejther the needs of the coun
try or the party 4emanaed. Without
saying so in direct terms, there were
none who listened to Mm who believed
that he would support the bill. -
The vote showed what those who had
Called the caucus expected. The con
ferences that hare been going on among
the Democratic Senators for two weeks
had given the leaders the information as
to how the different Senators stood, but
they wanted official caucus action upon
what had been agreed to in the con
ference room The roll was called in
order to place all on -record and thirty
seven Senators voted in favor of the
resolution and one Senator (Hill) against
it. The rote was received wiltn genume
p-ratification ts many of the Senators
believed it signified tljat the Tariff bill
would pass. -
Satisfactory Trial of the Marblehead.
. New York, May 3. The United States

COXEY CONTINGENTS.
The New England Band -Meet With
a Cool Reception In New York
Kelly to take to the Boats
Randall's Men Requested
to Leave Hammond, Ind.
New York, May 3. The New England
contingent of Coxeyites arrived in this
cit by boat from New Haven this after
noon, lney were tne nrst 01 tne Com
mon wealers to invade the metropolis and
they met with a cool reception. Led by
"Gen." Fitzgerald, they marched in
double file down the gang plank. On
the pier they were halted by a burly
policeman who asked; "Who are you.
and where are you going?"
The leader replied: "1 am M. D. Fitz
gerald, in command of the New England
division of the Commonweal army, and
we are on our way to Washington to
join Gen. Coxey, our commander-in-chief
We propose to spend a few days
in your city. We are now going to
march to No. 50 East Tenth street, the
headquarters of the People's party.'"
"Have you a permit to parade?" asked
the officer .
"Gen." Fitzgerald said he had not.
"Well, then you cannot parade," said
the official.
The army then broke ranks, furled
their tattered flags and walked across
town and up the bowery to east Tenth
streets They were somewhat disap
pointed at finding no reception commit
tee to meet them. There are about
eighty men in the crowd.
Des Moines, Iowa, May 3. Kelly has
agreed to accept the transportation to
the Mississippi river town that he
can reach with the least delay,
and go thence by the Mississippi
and Ohio rivers by steamboat on his
journey to Washington. The conviction
was forced upon him that none of the
railroads would transport his men to
Chicago or eastward from the river with
out payment of full passenger fares, and
also that his army would go to pieces
if it did not get away from Des Moines
very soonr Hence his change of mind.
It is probable that the start will be made
to the river to-morrow. Food was grow
ing scanty and the men rebellious.
Hammond, Ind.. May 3. "Gen." Ran
dall's industrial, army left here at 3
o'clock this afternoon in a drenching
rainstorm, by special request qf the city
authorities. They intended to march to
Hobart, eighteen miles distant, but many
members of the army are already weak
and footsore and it is probable they had
to go into camp again before reaching
that village.

SENATE.
Washington, May 3. There was not
the usual call of the Senate this morning
for the purpose of obtaining a quorum,
the attendance of Senators being rather
larger than ordinarily. Senator Morgan
was present and received condolences
from many of his associates on his recent
sorrow
A request from Senator Berry for
unanimous consent to take up a bill on
the calendar was objected to by Senator
Morgan, who moved that the SeD ate pro
ceed to the consideration of executive
business, in conformity with an order of
the Senate made ten days ago. The mo
tion was agreed to and the Senate at
11:35 o clock proceeded to executive
business. ' '
The doors were re-opened at 12 o'clock
m., and immediately afterwards the con
sideration of the Tariff bill was pro
ceeded with. :
Senator Allison annealed to Senator
Harris, in charge of the bill, to let the
first amendment, fixing the time for the
bill to go into effect, pass over for the
present.
Senator Harris said that the matter
was wholly immeterial. Of course the
time at which the bill would go into ef
fect would be fixed later, and, in order
to make more progress, he would con
sent that the amendment be passed over
i or iuiure action.
Senator Hoar congratulated Senator
Harris, sarcastically, on consenting to
make progress. i
benator Harris And the Senator from
Tennessee hopes that the Senator, from
Massachusetts will join him in making
progress.
oo tne nrst amendment was passed
over without action and the second
amendment was taken up being the
insertion in the first paragraph of the
words: "Or withdrawn for consump"
tion."
Senator Quay, who has been entitled
to the floor every day since April 14th.
(alternating with Senator Dolph) yielded
it to Senator Chandler, who said that he
had been desiring for some time to reply
to some observations of Senator Palmer,
but had had no opportunity until noW
the Senator from Oregon not being very
wen ana tne benator rrom Pennsylvania
having' occasional fits of sickness.
Laughter. He argued in fayor of a
postponement, for at least six months.
after its passage of the time for the bill
to go into effect, in order that the peo
ple might get ready for a bill which was
as different from the platform of the
Democratic party' as black was from
white, as light from darkness.
After benator Chandler, Senator Quay
took the floor with a number of his se
rial speech which he began April 14th.
A. large part of benator Quay s 6peech
consisted of statistical tables from the
census and other sources, and of state
ments as to the various manufacturing
industries of the country; and some of
these papers he had read either at the
clerk's desk or by Senator Gallinger.
Vv hue the clerk was readme one of
them, objection was made by Senator
Harris, who insisted if the papers were
to be read the reading must be done by
the Senator himself ; and the point of or
der was sustained, Senator Martin being
the presiding officer.
As benator Quay was starting to read
the paper himself .Senator Mitchell tailed
attention to the absence of a quorum
and remarked humorously that such an
interesting document should be heard
by a full benate. lhe roll was thereupon
called and forty-six Senators answered
to their names some forty of them hav
ing flocked in from the cloak rooms as
the call was going on.
1 hen benator Quay moved to proceed
to the consideration of executive busi
ness. That motion was rejected yeas,:
13; nays, 32. Then Senator Hoar came
to Senator Quay's relief by a question to
Senator Voorhees, chairman of the
Finance committee, as to - the estimate
made by him of the increased importa
tions that would result from the passage
of the Tariff bill.
Senator Voorhees replied that no more
difficult time than the present cou?d be
imagined for making any such estimate,
inasmuch as the business of all countries
in the world was disturbed and de
pressed. He had preferred not to de
pend upon conjectures in making the
Government sate in its revenues and
had not spent much time in guessing
what the increase of importations would
be. He wanted to have the necessary
revenue made a sure thing, and that was
one ot tne reasons wny ne stood oy
the income tax and why he
was somewhat not entirely recon
ciled to a duty on sugar. What
would terrify him more than anything
else would be the idea that his name
should be associated with a bill entitled:
"A Bill to Raise Revenue for the Sup
port of the Government and which
would not do it. He added that for his
own part he believed that liberalizing
commeicial relations with foreign coun
tries would naturally stimulate com
merce and increase importations; but it
was impossible to reach any definite
estimate.
The Senate then, at .4 o'clock -p. m.,
adiourned until to-morrow at 11 o clock.
Senator Hoar crossing over to the Demo
cratic side of the Chamber after adjourn

hees on the adroit way in which he had
evaded a direct answer to his inquiry.

BI-METALLIO LEAGUE.

by Several Members.
London, May 3. H. H. Gibbs, presi
dent of the British Bi-metallic league,
presided over the lecond day's session of
tne international bi-metallic congress in
the Mansion House to-day.
Sir William Houldsworth, M. P., read
a paper on the effects upon agriculturists,-
manufacturers, wage-earners, mer
chants, bankers, and investors, of the
fall in the general level of prices. This
fall in price, he continued, was caused
by a contracted curreney and must lead
to commercial and industrial depression
aua tne consequent injury of all classes.
He contended that falling prices dis
courage capitalistic enterprises and the
increasing burden of obligations de
prives them of the power of extending
production. He quoted from the letter
of Gen. Francis A. Walker, in support of
his arguments, that declining prices re
tard industry and diminish the demand
for labor. A low rate of interest, he
said, is evidence of an abundance of
capital and a co-existing depression of
trade. -Robt.
Lacy Everett, M. P., and Ed
mund F. Knox, M. P., in discussing Mr.
Houlds worth's paper, maintained that
monometallism would press powerfully
upon the tillers of the soil as its tendency
was to lower the value of agricultural
products.
Mr. Henry H. Gibbs, read a paper on
"The Principle on which an International
Ratio Ought to be Based." He stated
that the proportion of gold to silver at
the end of the year 1893 was 15"- to 1. At
the present time the proportion was 35
to 1. All proposals for bridging the
chasm, he asserted, converge towards
the restoration of silver to its former
status of full debt-paying power.
Sir David Barbour, late Finance Min
ister for India, read a paper on "The
Finances of India," in which he said that
the expenditures of a country always
tend to exceed the revenues. The sud
den declines in the,price of rupees have
led to an injurious reduction of expendi
ture, the cessation of public works and
the loss of control by the Indian budget
of its power to maintain a surplus or to
p-event a deficit. Indian exchange had
been temporarily improved, and the
country had been lulled into a
false sense of security when the United
States increased their purchases
pf silver; but when those purchased
ceased, Indian exchange fell lower than
ever. The effect of the divergence of
gold and silver upon the finances of
India had been a crisis involving a waste
of money and mischievous fluctuations
of policy, and there was a prospect of a
further severe decline,, when the Gov
ernment of India would be unable to
meet their obligations. The result
of i attempting to introduce a
gold standard in India had been
to disturb the trade of India with silver
standard countries, increase India's
sterling debt, increase the expenditures,
increase the taxation, and to cause the
almost total abandonment of public
works. It was too soon, he said, to say
whether the attempt would be successful,
but it was plain that it must require
time and further heavy sacrifice.

Washington, May 3. The executive
session of the Senateo-day was devoted
almost entirely to routine business.
Senator Morgan, at whose instance to
day had been set apart for the consid
eration of the Chinese treaty, said that
some Senators who desired to speak on
tne treaty were absent, and he, there
fore, asked that it go oyer until next
Monday. This was done. The Florida
case again came up the nomination r,f
Geo. W. Wilson to be collector of in
ternal revenue, but it was apparent that
a long discussion would ensue, and it
was laid aside.
All but two or three of the remainino-
members in two Indian companies, com
