Senator Jones Reports " hem as the Work of the Democratic Compro mise Committee The Bill Greatly Changed From the Wilson or Senate Bill Some of the Changes Proposed. Washington, May 7. During the executive session to-day Senator Jones presented the amendments to the Tariff kill which have been considered and agreed to by the Democratic Senators, known as the Compromise committee. There are over 400 of them and it makes a new bill, or a measure greatly differ ing from the Wilson bill and from the Senate bill in any form in which it has been presented. The amendments here to presented by Senator Vest and re ported from the Finance committee are endorsed by the Compromise committee. Thare is a general increase in the bill and in some schedules the increases are very marked. Many of the changes are unimportant and consist of a restoration of the House duties which the Senate had decreased. A number of articles have been taken from the free list, chief among these being agricultural products. Probably as the result of the criticism that the bill has been drawn on sectional lines, the committee has reduced the duty on rice. Another exceedingly important amend ment is that relative to leaf tobacco, in which there is a very material increase in the rates of duty. The chemical schedule, against which the Republicans have levelled some of their arguments, has been reconstructed in many particulars and here, as in the other schedules, the change is noted from ad valorem to specific -duties, to say nothing of the increase in the rates. The iron and glass .schedules have been overhauled and changes demanded by manufacturers have been made, some of them not so much in the nature of increases as in the way of reclassifi cation and the equalization of duties. The rumors that have been floating about for some days of the mysterious influences at work in regard to the woollen and cotton schedules appear to have had some ground, for the changes in these fines have been numerous and in Borne cases very material. Coal, iron ore, lead ore and lumber were not touched. The lead trust was not the gainer by these amendments for there was not an increase on duty in lead products. Nothing was done with whiskey, but if all the rumors in connection with that article be true it is very likely that a vigorous fight will be made to put the tax on whiskey back to $1.00 a gallon as when the bill came from the House. The tobacco schedule is changed to read as follows: "Wrapper tobacco, un stemmed, imported in any bale, box. package or in bulk, $1.50 per pound; if stemmed $2.25 per pound. The House and the Senate bills were $1 and $1.25 respectively on above articles. Filler tobacco, unstemmed, imported in any bale, box, package or in bulk, 35 cents per pound; if stemmed 50 cents per pound no change in rates, but the fol lowing proviso is added: Provided that the the term wrapper tobacco, wherever used in this act, shall be taken to mean that quality of leaf tobacco known com mercially as wrapper tobacco; provided further, that if any leaf tobacco im ported in any bale, box, package, or in bulk shall be the growth of different countries, or shall differ in quality and value, save as provided in the suc ceeding provision, then the entire con tents of such bale, box, package, or in bulk shall be subject to the same duty as wrapper tobacco; provided, further, that if any bale, box, package or bulk leaf tobacco of uniform quality contains exceeding 15 per centum thereof of leaves suitable in color, fineness of tex ture and size fo wrappers for cigars, thTl ftlfc) euu.ro uuucouifi ja buuu box, package, bale or bulk shall . - 4-Yk a art -m a Hn 4-rr o a if be subject to rrr J " ll Tcrnta wraimtf tobacco; provided further, that collectors WiiaU not permit entry to be made, except uuer regiua- tions to be prescnoea Dy me w'J1 of the treasury of any leaf tobacco Im ported in any bale, box, package or in hnlk. unless the invoices covering the same shal1 specify in detail the character of the leaf rbacco in sucn Daie, dox, package or in bu!k, whether wrapper, or filler tobacco, queDiZuu seu-wuriuiig bales, as the case may" be. Snuff and snuff flour, manufacture oi toDacco, ground, dry or damp, aiiP- piCKiea, scented, or otherwise, of all descrip tions, 50 cents per pound." Senate ud House bills were 40 cents. mi - 1 i 2 J t- ine cigar paragrapn is aiueuucu w read as follows: "Cigars, cigarettes, Cheroots of all kinds $4 per pound and 25 per cent, ad valdfem, and paper cigars and cigarettes including wrappers shall be subject to the same duties as are herein imposed upon cigars." k The duty on cigars in the House and Senate bills was $3 per pound and 25 per cent, ad yalorem. Rice, free of outer hull, is of a cent, per pound. House and Senate bills were 1 cent. Paddy or rice having outer hull, is ic per pound. House and Senate bills were fc per pound. The sugar schedule is: "On and after January 1st, 1895, there shall be levied collected and paid on all sugars not above No. 16, Dutch standard in color, and on all tank bottoms, syrups of cane juice or of beet juice, melada, concentrated melada, concret and con centrated molasses, - a duty of 40 per centum ad volorem and upon all sugars above No. 16, Dutch standard in color, there shall be levied, collected, and paid a duty of I cent' per pound in addition to the said duty of 40 per centum ad valorem, and all sugars, tank bottoms, syrups of cane 1uice or of beet iuice. melada con centrated malada, concrete or concen trated molasses, which are imported from or are the product of any country which at the time the same are exported therefrom, pays, directly or indirectly, a bountv on the export thereof, shall pay a duty of 1-10 cent per pound in addition the, fnrpe-oiner rates; orovided, that filing herein contained shall be so con- ltL,ri ti to abrogate or in any manner Strut- - ,r j. il Jr.ic nf tha imnair Of tuwv-mo pu.iiauuu impair v mmmorril reciDrocitv c3dedVtweentheUnitM States and the KinV? islands on the luiniBl"...ri January, 1875, or the1 provision j act of Congress heretofore paed r execution of the same, n after January 1st, 1895, therC levied, collected and paid on mc18868.' testing 40 degrees or less by the po.1"" scope, and containing more than 20 per" cent, oi moisture, and on molasses test ing more than 40 degrees and not above 56 degrees polariscope, a duty of 2 cents per gallon; of testing above 56 degrees polariscope a duty of 4 cents per gallon."

BRECKINRIDGE AT PARIS. Five Thousand People to Hear Him His Brilliant and Dramatic Ora toryHome Thrusts From His Opponent. Parts, Ky., May 7. Five thousand people crowded around the court house of this little city to-day to here Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge speak. He had come upon the invitation of 400 of his follow ers who were the first to send him a cheering word during his recent trial. Of this immense audience fully 3,000 crowded into the court house and took in every word he said, while the others, like an animated wall, got as close as they could and cheered wildly at every opportunity. CoL Breckinridge arrived from Lex ington with some 600 others early in the morning and, without straining the truth in the slightest, it must be said he was accorded an ovation. His speech was much the same as that delivered at Lex ington on Saturday, but was much bolder, showing plainly that he feels encouraged and more certain of his footing. His attack Jipon the press and the ministerial union of Lexington, which is fighting him, as well as of his foes generally, was the most brilliant and dramatic dis play of denunciatory oratory ever heard in the Ashland district.. - At the conclusion of CoL Breckin ridge's speech, he introduced Hon. Evan Settle, who, with Hon. W. C. Owens, is opposing him. Mr. Settle was deliberate, keen, and caustic. He began by saying that he had lots of sins and might confess them if he just had a cue as to which was most likely to draw the people to him. In view of this doubt he was at a serious disadvantage. This re ference to the colonel excited him noticeably. Then Klidiny smoothly along for a time, Mr. Settle returned to the colonel and dealt him several blows that made him wince. "I come to you unheralded," he said, "hampered by youth and the lack of an illustrious name. But, sirs, I would rather be one of an obscure, but honest family than have the distinction of bear ing unworthily the name of a distin guished ancestry." The excitement during his delivery of this and other pointed references-to the Breckinridge scandal was intense, and though the audience was largely against him, there were many anti-Breckinridge men present who made themselves heard. Sun'sCotton Review. New York, May 6. The Sun's cot ton review says: Cotton dechned 6 to 7 points and closed quiet and steady, with part of the loss regained. Sales were 98,700 bales. Crop accounts from India of late have been less favorable. Texas crop accounts continued favorable. In some sections ot Mississippi there will be a decrease in the acreage. Ram is needed in parts of Alabama. Liverpool de clined 3i to 4 points, closing quiet and steady, with spot sales of 8,000 bales at easier but unchanged prices. Manchester was dull for yarns and dull and irregular for cloths. Bom bay receipts for the half week were 26, 000 bales, against 37.000 for the same time last year. The receipts at the ports were 3,609 bales, against 7,805 this day last week and 4,589 last year; thus far this week, 8,465. Spot cotton here was steady and unchanged with sales of 301 bales for spinning. Deliveries on con tract were 1,100 bales. The Southern spot markets were generally quiet and unchanged. New Orleans re ceipts tomorrow are estimated at 1,000 to 1,200 bales against 1,425 the same day last week, and 3,766 last pear. All the news was bearish, and it cannot excite surprise that prices are de clined. Liverpool was lower. Man chester was -depressed; there was a failure reported there on Saturday; the South was dull; speculation was slug gish; cotton goods were hard to sell and supplies are plentiful here and abroad. In the meantime the Hatch and Wilson bills still hang over the market. It was a short market. August liquidation was in progress and it broke 7 cents. All Confederates Invited to Rich- mond. Richmond, Va., May 7. The soldiers' and sailors' monument association of Richmond to-day issued the following: "Richmond, Va, May 7, 185. "The magnificent monument to the private Confederate soldiers and sailors will be unveiled at Richmond, Va., on May 3th 1894. "The committee find it impossible to obtain the address of every veteran and military organization that they desire to reach. They therefore take this method of extending to all Confederate veterans and organizations and all volunteer military bodies in the Southern States a very cordial invitation to be present at this grand re-UDion of Confederates. "Quarters and rations will be provided for all organized bodies who will notify the secretary, Capt. Thomas Ellett,5 of their intention to be present, with in fnmmtinn as to the time of arrival, the route by which they will come, and the number of men they will bring. Tha railroad eomoanies have made reduced rates for the occasion (Signed.) R. S. Boshee, Chairman Invitation Bommittee." The Methodist General Conference. Memphis. Tenn.. May 7. The session of the General Conference of the Metho dist Episcopal Chuych, South, to-day was scare two hours long md consisted of little else than the routine business of rs- ooivinsr memorials and resolutions. A voluminous report was presented by the commission appointed at tne last General Conference at St. Louis In 1890 on the revision of Chapters 7 and 8 of the Discipline, relating to trials and ap peals. The reading of this report was made a special order for Wednesday. If this report is adopted it will not affect the trials or appeals that may come be fore this session of the conference. The remainder of the session was de voted to religious exercises. To Settle the Dispensary Law. COLUMBIA, S.

WILMINGTON, N. C, THE CHINESE TREATY. EFFORTS TO HAVE IT CON SIDERED IN OPEN SESSION. Resolution for Investigation of Ar rest of Coxey, Browne and Jones To Build a Government Print ing Office Republicans Fili buster Against Limited Debate Contest for Mr. Enloe's Seat. SENATE. Washington, May 7. As soon as the blind chaplain of the Senate concluded morning prayer, attention was called by Senator Chandler to the small attend ance of Senators. The roll of the Senate was called and after some delay, it was ascertained that there were forty-three Senators present. As that number con stitutes a quorum, the journal of Satur day was read and business proceeded with. Senator Allen, PoDulist. of Nebraska, offered a preamble and reso-i lution reciting that Coxey. Browne and Jones, citizens of the United States, were, on May 1, 1894, on the grounds of the National Capitol, in the city of Wash- j ington, assaulted by a police force in the service of the United States and arrested and imprisoned while peaceably enter ing such grounds, in a quiet and orderly manner; and providing for a select com mittee of five Senators no more than two of them to belonar to the same rjoliti- cal party to investigate all the facts and circumstances connected with such assault and imprisonment and to make such recommendations as will prevent such outrages hereafter. a he resolution was laid over till to morrow, on objection of Senator Cock rell. Senator Mitchell, Republican, of .Ore gon, reminded the presiding officer of the resolution offered bv him some weeks agond laid over till the third of May, requesting the Chinese treaty to be con sidered in open session. He asked that it be now laid before the Senate. Ihe resolution was thereuDon laid be fore the Senate by the Vice-President and instantly Senator Perkins, of Cali fornia, was on the floor addressing the chair and statine that the Chinese treatv had already been published by authority of the Senate. He was interrupted with a question of order from Senator Chand ler, and with the privileged motion that the resolution be considered in secret session. Senator Perkin3 reouested Senator Chandler to withdraw his motion so as to afford an opportunitv of disc use ine the resoluiion in open Senate. He re peated that the treaty had been already published by authority of the Senate. senator Chandler s motion was not withdrawn, but was seconded bv Sena tor Manderson, thereupon the Vice President directed that the galleries be cleared and the doors locked.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The amended New York and New Jer sey Bridge bill was passed under suspen sion oi tne ruies. An order was reported from the Com mittee on Rules, by Mr. Catchinus: 'That this day be assigned to the con sideration of House bill No. 5483, a bill for the erection of a Government print ing office; and Senate bill No. 23, a bill for the erection of a hall of records in the city of Washington, this order to continue (subject after to-day to the con sideration of general appropriation bills) from day to day until said bills are dis posed of.

While the House was in session, Mr. Patterson reported from the Committee on Elections its conclusions in the case of P. H. Thrasher, contestant from the Eighth Tennessee district, occupied by Mr. Enloe, in favor of the contestee. The minority of the committee, through Mr. Mccaii, Republican, of Massachu setts, submitted their views to the con trary. The Republicans desired that general debate on the Printing Office bill should run to-day, at least, without limit, but Mr. Bankhead declined, and moved that the House resolye itself into Committee of the Whole for further consideration of the bill, pending which he moved that general debate be restricted to two hours.

Gov't Report TUESDAY, MAY 8, BOSS CROAKER TO RETIRE DTom the Active Work of Tammany. He Will Still be Leader This Move a Surprise. New York, May 7. Richard Croker, the Tammany Hall leader, made the following statement this morning "I do not intend to attend to the active work of the organization any longer. cannot give tnat attention to details in future that I have given in the past. The details of the organization must here after be attended to by some one else. Ine executive committee must appoint one or more sub-committees' to do the woik x nave oeen doing, l nave given tne organization my time and attention for the last thirty years' and I need a rest. My physicians say that I cannot afford, for the sake of my health, to con fine myself in doors, Remember, I do not wish to shirk the duties and respon sibihties of leadership. I will give to the organization whatever assistance I can render, but I cannot continue doing the work which can be done as well by some one else. I find that when I go away for 3?- - "S TJ" any lengtn oi time, my it very difficult to overtake it. The executive committee must therefore take some action towards relieving me of this strain. I will put the matter before them at the next meeting.". Mr. Croker was emphatic in his state ment that he would not resign the leader ship. When his statement was repeated to Mayor Gilroy in his office, President Martin of the police board, Corporation Court Counsel Clark and Commissioner bf Public Works Daly were standing at his desk. They all looked surprised. "That's the first I have heard of it." said the mayor. "Well," said President Martin, "the matter will come before the executive committee. Until it does, I cannot say what action will be taken. We must consider it." "Yes," added the mayor. "Nothing can be said until it comes before the ex ecutive committee. It will then receive due consideration." Corporation Counsel Clark and Com missioner Daly had nothing to say. The executive committee of Tammany Hall will meet on Thursday. Base Ball.

Cruisers Ordered to Central American Ports. Washington, May 7. Disquieting news from Central America and South America, has .caused the Navy Depart ment to assign several ships to localities where American interests may be en dangered through prospective hostilities. On occount of the revolution in Salvador, the assignment of the gunboat Benning ton to Bering sea has been changed and to-day she was ordered to proceed from San Francisco to the berturbed Central American republic. Orders were issued for the cruiser New York to proceed from Kingston, Jamaica, to Colon and the cruiser Charleston from Montevideo to CaUao. The emergency which calls for the presence of the New York at Colon is the Blufields affair and the big cruiser will be Kept there pending any serious renewal of the Mosquito coast trouble. The Charleston was originally assigned to the Pacific naval station and left New York for . that service soon after the Columbian naval review, but was de tained at Rio Janeiro until recently, on account of the Brazilian revolution.

Messenger Bureau, t Raleigh, May 7. fine rams have now fallen, with best effect upon all crops and the outlook very promising. A n rr;x i . is ojien xuniion, coiorea, wno was so badly injured in an accident last Satur day on the Seaboard Air Line, in this city, died yesterday at the Leonard hos pital.; He was 60 years old and had for twelve years been an employe of the railway. The accident was caused by a shifting engine pushing two -flat cars into a passenger train which was empty. The other man who was hurt is able to walk about. The Confederate cemetery here is now more attractive and in better order than ever before. Contributions of flowers and shrubs have been numerous .and these have been used in beautifying the grounds. At one time it was the belief that many of the trees would-lhave no leaves by May 10th, whereas in ordinary seasons they are full-grown by that date: but they are now coming out. Hickory trees suffered even more than the oaks, and both trees-present a aueer sicht no late in the season as this. Active work is now in oroarress at the Egypt coal mines; The extensive outfit of new. and greatly improved ma chinery and hoisting apparatus is found to wors: weu.
