SCHEDULE AGAIN tTBJECr OFXA. PROTRACTED DEBATE. Speculations in Sugar Certificates During Debate on the McKinley Bill and Remarkable hanges ' Made in That Schedule . Effect of the Proposed. Duties Discnssion of the state X. -. Banks Tax. .' X " SENATE. X' - WAgHtsaTON, June 4. The Senate to day entered on the second naif year of the session, the tenth week of the consid eration of the Tariff bill, and the third day of the discussion of the sugar schedule. - 'X ; - It took a quarter of an hour after the stated hour of meeting to secure a quorum. The first p;ece of business done was the passage of a joint resolution appropriating $10,009 for the expenses of inquiry and investigation ordered by the Senate. x ' On schedule time all pending business was put aside and the Tariff bill was taken up. The amendments topara graph 182, offered by the Finance com mittee, changing the time, when the, repeal of the sugar bounty is to take effect, from July 1, 1894, to January 1, 1895, was agreed to. Subsequently, by unanimous consent, that action was .reconsidered and the amendments still remain open. Senator Vest recalled his controversy with Senator Aldrich before adjourn ment on Saturday when Senator. Aldrich asserted "positively, if not aggressively" that there were no sugar stock certifi cates in the market in 1890. Senator Vest fortified his own statement by read ing from an almanac of 1891, showing that in the year 18ti0, 8,526,000 shares of sugar stock certificates had been sold in New York. And it was -while the large sales were being made, with fluctuations of 35 per cent.j that the McKinley act was being manip ulated in Congress. He went on to show that from a duty of about 1 cent, per 100 pounds when the bill was first reported from the Committee on Ways and Means of the House, it had gone up by jumps to 70 cents, per 100 pounds, and was then reduced in conference to 50 cents, per 100 pounds the existing rate. "And yet," . said he, contemptu ously, ' our friends on the other side taunt us with being under the control of the Sugar trust. And they ask us con stantly for the principle on which cer tain things have been done. I would like to understand what principle entered into that sort of legislation. I would like to know on what principle that chahee took place. I know nothing else that could have caused it except some influence unknown to the public." A3 Senator Aldricn was not present while Senator Vest spoke, there was no reply to his remarks. Senator Allison took the floor and ar gued against the repeal of the Sugar bounty and against putting sugar on the dutiable list. He offered to yield the floor to Seuator VeBt and let him inform the Senate as to what would be the aver age rate of duty per pound on sugar for consumption, under the present com plicated, schedule. Senator Vest stated it at 25 cents on the 100 pounds. v . ' Senator Jones replied to Senator Alli son and defended the schedule as pro- jl posed by the finance committee.. His remarks were mostly of a technical character, involving the various points as to raw sugar above and below certain points of saccharine strength; as to the effect of the different rates of duty on them, and as to the point where the mar ket value of raw sugar is to be fixed whether at the point of export or at the principal markets in the country from which they come.4, On these and many other abstruce points a rapid, confusing and generally unintelligible controversy was kept up for a long time between him and Sena tor Allison. Senator Jones, however, asserted very positively that under ex isting law there was not a pound of free sugar, but that $22,000,000 was paid to sugar refiners and not a dollar to the treasury. Senator Peffer asked Senator Jones what would be the average increase of the price of sugar per pound to the con sumer over its present price. Senator Jones replied that he supposed - i j i i i i j the increase wouia oe aoout $ cent a pound,' might exceed that, or it might be a little Senator PeZfer again asKea wnetner a. duty of 40 per ceu aa valorem wouia not operate to raise Joe price of sugar from 1J to li cents a po!'nd. . Senator Jones tnougnt it 7mg"b ,1., hnkfrnm th9t.wa.sm Dt) lieu UU Via coin thp fi .1 M rT cent, auiy uuurr the present law. In a colloquy with senators Aiuson, AWrifh and Teller, it was stated by Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, that under the tariff and excise laws or uermany t.h nrice of suarar to the home consumer was 8 cents a pound, wniie, owing 10 iue . " -.11 ' . - il bounty allowed for exportation and to the freedom of the excise taxes, the samA suffar was sold in London at 3 1-15 cents a pound. And he argued that tnat thft condition of things which the sugar bounty was calculated to produce. He nubhclv avowed nis acKnowieug- ment to the Senators of his party for the duty on suarar. Senator Morerau cave notice of an amendment, making it a criminal offence for persons to enter into any combina tion or conspiracy to import anjs article so as to increase its market price in any nart of the United States As the usual hour adjournment was now approaching Senator Harris rose and cnid! "I need not emphasize the imnortanee of an early and final deter mination, not of this sugar schedule merely, ;but of the Tariff bill generally. I eave notice last Friday that I would on and after to-day unless much progress madfi. ask for longer and later ses sions: it is now nearly the usual hour of ad inurnment, and if I can eet a unani mous consent to take up the vote on the nending amendment at an early hour to morrow and uoon all other amendments to the sugar schedule, without further debate, after that hour I shall be glad to nrw.mmodate the convenience of every Senator, aad my own as well, by moving a brief executive session and then an ad- iournment.

The Senate at 6;2U o ciocit, p. m,. after a snort executive bcdsiuu, wjuiirueu ux).- til to-morrow at 10 o ciock, a. m HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. After some unimportant morning business Mr. Springer moved that the House proceed, in Committee of the Whole, to the consideration of the bill to -Ano l th 1 0 ner cent. State bank tax. The motion of Mr. Springer was agreed SUGAR X" X- , THE S to and Mr. DalzelL Republican, of Penn sylvania, made an argument in favor of the constitutionality of the bill taxing notes of State banks. Mr. Rayner, Democrat, of Maryland, spoke on the same line that - of oppo sition to the repeal of the law, Mr. Ray ner combatted objections that were urged against the National banks and set forth the advantages of the 6ystem. De fects were admitted and noted by him. To remedy these he would (1) permit Na tional banks to issue notes to the. full amount of bond deposited; repeal the tax upon their circulation; (3) modify the stringent provisions against stockholders as to their personal responsibility - for debts; (4) permit the banks to increase their circulation, whenever the demand exists, upon good security other than Government bonds; (5) perpetuate the system based upon a deposit of State and municipal securities. The next speaker -was Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, a member of the committee, who spoke in favor of the repeal of the la wis He said that the proper wav to test the value of the State bank system was to consider the condition of the banks at the time the general Govern ment saw fife to impose the prohibitory tax. When these banks were forced to go into liquidation in 1865. every bank in the North, redeemed its obligations without discount "and without loss to a single bill holder. The same was true of banks in the Southern States, except in the -of those whose assets had been destroyed by the exigencies of the war. The serious difficulty with the National Bank currency was its lack bf flexibility. A currencv possessing that quality was the urgent need of busi nesfl interests of . the country. In N its opinion it would never be secured until there was established a banking system with a circulation under the control of those whose right it was to issue it. Such a system as this, he said; would provide, at the shortest notice, the cur rency" needed to meet an exigency in some particutar section of the country, avoiding the period of stringency insep arable from the present system. On motion of Mr. Savers, the Senate joint resolution was passed appropriating $10,000 for the payment of expenditures caused by the Sugar trust investigation ordered by the Senate and now in pro gress. - , At 4:50 o'clock p.' m., the House ad journed until noon to-morrow. "WAR IN COLORADO. Skirmish Between Deputies and Strikers The Ltatter Well Forti fied Kidnapping Citizens Peo ple Arming- Themselves Battle Expected. Cripple Creek, Col., June 4. A skir mish took place to-day near Midland toll gate between three striking coal miners and five deptuy sheriffs, who were sent out from the main body on the diyide as pickets. Several shots were fired on both sides. Jack David, a miner, was shot in the arm and a deputy sheriff was seri ously wounded. The deputies were forced to retreat. The striking miners were . confident that they would be attacked some time to-day. All men not necessary to guard the approaches to Bull Hill, their strong hold, and forage for supplies, had been massed about the fortifications, and their number is a little more than 1,800. Last night hundreds of beer kegs were filled with water and stored in the fort. The towns of Victor, Anaconda, Mountain City and other places are in possession of the strikers. The plan is to make as strong a stand as possible against the dep uties, and if necessary retreat to Bull liill. - M. E. Woods, president of the Woods Investment company, was taken at 9 o'clock last night by a large body of strickers and carried up to the fort on Bull Hill. Hise wife was present when he was taken. The men told her that she need not worry, as they would free Woods in the morning. Business men here are greatly alarmed. The cause of the kidnapping is not known. Besides taking Woods , prisoner, the strikers last night seized Clarence O. Finch, county superintendent of schools, and D. E. W. Atkins, a Colorado Springs school teacher, and they are now held prisoners on Bull Hill, as hostages for President Calderwood or any other miners who may be arrested. John Shorten, editor of the Cripple Creek Herald, organ of the Miners' union, has been arrested by the deputies. Colorado Springs, Col., June 4. Preparations for war are going rapidly forward here, arms and ammunition are coming in daily. One hundred thousand rounds of ammunition, shipped from Chicago Saturday, arrived to-day. Rifles and revolvers are coming in and further shipments are expected from Chicago to-morrow. . Floods in the Northwest. Portland, Ore., June 4. Merchants in the flooded districts were at work all day yesterday removing goods or raising them on platforms above the water. The river continues to rise, and the situation grows more serious. The river here is thirty -one feet above low water and is rising at the rate of one foot every twenty-tour nours. x nree iourtns oi ine wholesale district is unuer water from two to ten feet, and the water is fast encroaching upon the best part of the town. Small houses on the flits are surrounded by water up to the second story and have begun to turn over.

Correspondents 6 h river and Edwards to be Indicted Disturbed Condi- ' tious- on Nicaraguan Coast Successful -Hevclution iu 1 Salvador Court Ap pointed to Investi gate the Damages to Columbia. Washington, June 4. An agreement to terminate the pending debate on the bill to repeal the State bank tax act has not been definitely reached, but will be, it is understood, at a meeting of the Com mittee on Rules to be held to morrow morning. Negotiations in this regard were made necessary by the announce ment in the House to-day by Mr. Holman, chairmanNpf the Committee oh Indian Affairs, that he would to-morrow ask the House to take up the Appropr iation bill reported from hia committee. In the course of the afternoon several confer ences were held with the majority mem bers of theCommittee onRules with a viesv " ta, reaching an agreement. Mr. Sprmger in charge of the Bank Tax Repeal bill,wanted to spend Wmorrow in general debate, and Wednesday up to 4 o'clock, in discussion under the five minutes rule, the vote to be taken at that time. The members of the Committee on Rules, however, wanted to take the vote immediately upori assembling Wed nesday, Tuesday's session to be devoted to discussion under the fivj minutes rule. When the House adjourned s to-day the probabilities seemed to be that the latter programme would be adopted.X V j District Attorney Birney called on Senator Gray, chairman of the Sugar trust investigating committee, this .af ternoon and told him that he would pre sent to the grand jury to-morrow the case of John S. Shriver, Washington correspondent of the New. York Mail and Express and E. J. Edwards, New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, for refusing to answer questions asked by the committee. If a true bill is found by the grand jury the indict ment will not be presented to the Crim inal court until next Monday at the ear liest. . ' Capt. Watson reported by cable to the Navy Department this morning announ cing the anival of the San Francisco at Colon, where she had gone for coal. The dispatch was a long one, and communi cated the news that the young Mosquito chieftain, Clarence, had been restored to power, but the country was very unset tied and it would be necessary, to protect the yuung ruler. , It would be necessary to keep, an American warship at Blue fields for the present. The British cruiser is still there. He does not eay who rein stated Clarence, but the presumption is that the British commander took the re sponsibility. Whether Capt. Watson offered his protection to Clarence is not clear, but it is understood that he thought it necessary to offer protection. A full written report of the matter has been sent by mail. A further-engagement to-day in New York of $1,400,000 gold for export to Europe Tuesday reduces the treasury's gold reserve fund down to $74,000,000. The following cable from Capt. Thomas, commanding the Bennington, was received at the Navy Department to-day: "La Libertad, June 4th, 1894. "The revolution has been successful. The president of Salvador escaped to day at 5 o'clock, A. M. and has gone on board a German steamer all ready to leave La Libertad. The brother of the president has been dead three weeks. This fact has been kept secret. The State Department had a dispatch from the American consul' at La Libertad conveying similar information. The commander of the Bennington was di rected to remain in Salvadorian waters for the protection of American interests and to be available for duty on the west coast of .Nicaragua should any emergen cy arise in regard to the Mosquito mat tor. Secretary Hoke Smith, accompanied by his wife and two children, left Wash ington to-night for Raleigh, N. C. The secretary will deliver the address at the commencement exercises of the Univer sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Wednesday. A court of inquiry to investigate the accident to the cruiser .Columbia on her recent trial trip has been ordered by Acting Secretary McAdoo, and it will meet when the vessel is placed in the dry-dock. Rear Admiral Stanton has been selected as the president of the court of inquiry. In the orders to the court there is one clause which is sure to attract considerable attention. It con tains an intimation that the ninety foot dent in the Columbia may not have oc curred on the recent trial trip at all but existed while the vessel was iu the lands of the contractors, in which case the Government will not have the ex pense of repairs. The attention of the court is particularly invited to Rear Ad miral Belknap's report of November 23rd last on the occasion of her accep tan ce trial. The Belknap board reported as follows: "When near League island. coming up the Delaware, Capt. Matth ews, of the board, reported that the ship touched bottom slightly, and it seemed as if she were dragging over gravel for about 50 or 100 feet. Such incident, he states, did not seem to affect the ves sels speed in any degree." Base Ball. Brooklyn, June 4. Brooklyn, 18 Louisville, 4. Batteries Daub, La Chance and Dailey; Knell and Grim.

Stocks and Bonds in New York The - Grains and provision Markets , of Chicago. New York, June 4. The dealings at the Stock Exchange to day showed some increase in volume, 172,800 shares having been traded in. At the same time, to the gratification of brokers, - business was better distributed, the railway group coming in for a larger share of attention. London purchases of St. Paul and Louis villa knd Nashville had much to do . with the change. Arbitrage houses were buy ers ofj the stocks named at the openingj on the statement of the St. Paul for the fourth weelc and month of May. For days pears on the Grangers have been predicting a loss of at least $175,000 in the road'f earnings for the fourth week of May. I The btacement, however, showed a loss of only a little over $100,000, and this, j with the buying by the for eigners, started a rather lively cov ering movement in" railway stocks. Besides, the Street is waking up to the facfrhat the recommendation by the Hatfae Inter-State Commerce committee, permitting pooling by railroads, under certajja conditions, means a great deal to the railroads. St. Paul rose to 60i, North west to 109J, Burlington to 78r and Rock Island1 to 68i. These figures show ad vance of J to $ per cent Louisville" and Nashville moved up to 45. Missouri Pa cific td 28; Union Pacific to 16, Laue Shore to 132, New York Central to 98 ; New Jersey Central to 1061, Reading to 17. and Northern Pacific, preferred, to I5f . A report that the soft coal strike would be called off to-morrow had a good effect at one time, but was subse quently denied. The engagement of $1, 400000 gold for shipment by the Trave had ho influence. The Industrials, as usual, were active and at one time sold atN N the best figures reached since the present bull movement set in. Sugar advanced to 104f, Tobacco to 841, Chi cago Gas to 75$, Lead to 40, andxWhis key tj 24 The. rise brought outMong stccE, etpecially m sugar and Gas. Whiskey developed its- greatest strength iate in the day. In the last hour the market Showed a downward tendency. the early advance having induced reali sations. The Industrials ran off the most, Sugar falling to 1031, Chicago Gas to "75 and Lead to 394. Railroads re ceded but a fraction. Speculation left off easier with prices of the leading rail way issues any wnere from to li per cent, above Saturday's finals. Sugar.

V Chicago, June 4. Considerable energy that might have been bestowed on the grain market was' distorted from that channel by the balloting on the amendment to the rules bearing v on the elevator question. Traders who are usually active in the pits were devoting their time and attention to electioneer ing with the effect of restricting the amount of business , transacted in the markets. Wheat opened witha firm feeling, derived from the improved tone ot tne cables and from a decrease of the amount on passage. T he figures on the visible 6upply, as they were gradually received, added some to the strength. A little relaxation from the extreme hardness of prices was felt late in the session, but the close was at a bet ter point than on Saturday, and the ac- tion throughout the entire day was oh. a higher basis than that day's final figures. Cash wheat was in good demand, at c higher. July wheat ? opened 551c sold between that and 561c, cl03ingr ic higher- than Saturday at 55 to, 55f c Everything favored better prices in corn to day, but not to a very great de gree, and as in the other markets, there was not so much trading as probably would have been, were it not for. the in tense interest manifested in the outcome of the voting on the elevator question. July corn sold between 3rfc and 38c, closing c higher than Saturday at 58i to 38c. Cash corn was in good demand and prices were ic higher. Oats were strong all day. July closed f to fc higher than Saturday. Cash oats -were in good demand and firm at the June price for round lots of No 2. Provisions continued in the rut in which they have been traveliog for many weeks. There was nothing new in the situation and nothing important took place in the trading. The market opened easy on a decline in the price of hogs, but finned when the loss was re covered. The Btrength in grain had an indirect effect. July pork and ribs closed unchanged. The Sun's Cotton Review. New York. June 4. The Sun's cotton review says: , (Jotton declined to 10 points, closing dull, with sales of .76.200 bales. Liverpool declined 4 to 41 points, closing eay. Spot sales there were 10,000 bales at steady and unchanged prices. In Manchester yarns were dull but steady, cloths quiet. The receipts at Bombay for the half week were 23,000 bales, again&t 25.000 for the same time last year Hew Orleans declined o to 11 points, December showing the most de pression, lhe- receipts at the ports to day were estimated at 6,000 bales and reached 4,863, against 2,1 Ou bales this day last week, and 8,410 last year; thus far this week 8,285 bales against 3,335 bales thus far last week, bpot cotton was c lower. Sales were 100 bales for ex port and 710 for spinning. The South ern spot markets were generally quiet at unaltered quotations. Silver advanced Jd in London, but was unchanged here. The dry goods trade is still quiet as a rule. Today's features were: Unex pected depression in Liverpool, favorable weather at the ooutn, larger receipts at the ports, the addition of o5,000 bales to the crop movement for the season as "corrections" and long selling, as well as little bear hammering, caused a decline. The speculation was still narrow. Some unfavorable crop reports came from various parts of the cotton belt. Strikers Resort to Violence. Charleston, W. Va., June 4. The striking Kanawha valley miners have again resorted to violence. The drum house at the Morris Creek mines has been burned, the trestle over Mans creek de stroyed by fire and coal trafhc stopped on the Sewell and Gilkeson branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio road.
