SENATE. ;
Washington, June 13. The presenta
tion of numerous petitions for the excep
tion of beneficial societies from the
propositions of the proposed income tax
furnished an opportunity to Senator Vest
to state on behalf of the Finance com
mittee that the amendments asked for in
relation to these societies were not
necessary; but still an amendment had
been agreed up by the committee to
exempt those benevolent fraternal socie
ties. The bill, as it was, did exempt
from taxation all corporations that were
not organized for profit all that were
organized for charitable, religious or
education r -?es. These societies
seemed to hu. agreed to the following
amendment; to which the Finance com
mittee had not the slightest objection:
"That the exemption shall stand to those
corporations, including fraternal bene
ficiary societies, organizations or associa
tions, operating on the lodge system and
providing for the payment of life, sick,
accident and other benefits to the mem
bers and the dependents of such mem
bers." Senator Morgan offered a resolution,
which was agreed to, calling on the Sec
retary of the Treasury for information as
to the amount of gold coin rn ived in
the treasury or sub-treasuries bije No
vember 1. 1893; as to what part of ic was
obtained from the sale of United States
bonds; to what persons or banks the
bonds were sold and as to what pay
ments or redemptions have been made in
gold coin or bullion since November 1,
1893.
Senator Hoar offered a resolution,
which was agreed to, f requesting the
President of the United States to com
municate forthwith, if not incompatible
with the public interest, all representa
tions, written or oral, made to the Gov
ernment of the United States or the
Department of State by the representa
tive of any foreign Government in refer
ence to the possible action of such Gov
ernment byway of retaliation for the
proposed imposition by the United
States of a duty on sugar, and especially
as to the probable exclusion of the agri
cultural products of the United States by
such Government, from its territory,
and especially whether any and what
representations have been so received in
reference to the probable action of Ger
many and Guatemala.
The Tariff bill was then taken up and
Senator Sherman made an argument
against the proposition to put wool on
the free list.
Senator Dubois address the Senate in
opposition to the bill and particularly to
the woo 1 section of it. He spoke of the
bill as "a fatherless bill," and said that
the Democrats in Congress had "tram
pled on their national convention and
torn up their professed mandate from
the people."
Senator Stewart characterized the
proposition to put wool upon the free
list as cruel and unfortunate in the ex
treme, and he ascribed the existing
commercial depression everywhere to
the baleful influence of the single gold
standard.
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, said that
in the recent election in Oregon the peo
ple of that State had set the seal of un
qualified condemnation on the Demo
cratic miserable, un-American policy.
Synator George, of Mississippi, in
quired whether if a duty were placed on
raw wool Senator Mitchell would then
require a compensatory duty on woolen
manufactures,
Senator Mitchell replied that he wanted
the woolen manufacturers to have just
as much protection as would enable them
to go on with their business and to pur-
chase the wool raise a Dy me iarmers.
Senator Allison of Iowa As I under
stand the Senator from Mississippi, he
desires to put a duty on wool.
Senator George I did not say that.
That may be my desire, but I have not
asserted it yet. .
Senator Frye gave an object lesson of
the benefits of protection. He mentioned
the case of mohair plushes, which a few
vears aero had been produced entirely
abroad. A couple of New England man
ufacturers undertook to make them here,
Immediately there was a cut of 15 per
cent, in the foreign price, followed by
another of 10, and within a year after, by
another of 15, and the result was that the
nennle of the United States were buying
mohair plushes at 50 per cent, less than
they bought' them for when there were
no Dlush mills in the United States, and
American manufacturers were supplying
nine tenths of all the mohair plushes
nsed in the United States
Senator Quay took the floor and read a
am all section or his endless speech.
The Tariff bill was then laid aside and
the Senate, at 6:10 o'clock, after a short
oTMMitiva session, adjourned till to
morrow.

COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Stocks and-Bondsin New York The
Grains and Provision Markets
of Chicajro.
New York, June 13. Speculation at
the Stock Exchange to-day was confined
almost exclusively to American Sugar
and Chicago Gas, the first named rang
ing between 100$ and 102, ex-dividend of I
3 per cent, and closing at 101J. The stock j
was bought by the shorts, and the Have-
meyer testimony that the company
earned a profit of over 10,000,000 a year
for the past three years aided. Chicago
Gas was in demand throughout and a
new pool was said to be buying. The
stock moved up from 77 to 79J to 79
and the general list was characterized by
hrmness, ana a higher range of quota
tions was established. The reported
hitch in the settlement of the soft coal
strike did not have any influence
on the market, as traders were
all disposed to take the long side
of the account. They had in their
favor the reduced gold export,
an easier Sterling exchange market and
the recent successful placing of bonds by
the Kock Island, the St. Paul and the
Baltimore and Ohio roads. This, so the i
bulls claimed, indicates a revival of con
fidence in railroad securities and ought
to lead to a broader and higher market
for securities later on. Atchison was
higher on the announcement that the
plan of reorganization will be given out
next week. The improvement in the
railway list ranged from J to IS per cent.
The market closed firm at or about the
top figures of the day. Total sales were
only 125,000 shares, of which 42,000 were
American Sugar, 19,400 St. Paul, and
ld,90U Chicago Gas. Seventy-five thou
sand shares were listed and 59,000 un
listed. Ihe bond market was firm.
Chicago, June 13. The final outcome
or the day s trading in wheat showed a
net depreciation from yesterday s close
of li to If c. The weight of the selling
was too much f or even the effects of the
prevailing parched condition of the crop
to hold up against. At the start there
was a firm and strong tone under run
ning operations, but the pressure of long
wheat was continuous and eventually
succeeded in determining the direction
of prices. July wheat opened from 61$
to 61$, sold between 61f and 59fc, closing
at otc, with the loss above noted. Cash
wheat was in good demand, but prices
lost about lc, the decline being due to
the break in the futures.
tjorn was very nearly as weak as
wheat at the close, although the feeling
was not represented Dy quite as Dig a
decline. The changes were, as a rule.
governed by the larger market. There
was heavy selling of corn at one time
during the earlv portion of the session.
July opened at 42i to 41ic. sold between
42cand4Hc, closing c under yester
day at 41 fc. There was a fair demand
for cash corn with prices firm early, but
closing easier.
Notwithstanding the weakness of
wheat and corn, oats held firm, and
while not making muh of a gain, were,
nevertheless, in a better position at the
end of the day's trading than either of
its companions. July closed ic higher
than yesterday. June and September
were unchanged. Cash oats were in
good demand and firmer. Prices were
ic higher.
rTovisions. alter opening hrm on an
advance in the prices of hogs, at the
close were weak. There, was free sell
ing during the latter part of the day, a
prominent packing institution leading.
J uly pork had '.ost 12ic, July lard 5c and
July ribs oc at tha end of the session.

Coal Creek, Tenn., June 13. All the
miners in the Coal Creek and Briceville
district resumed work to-day. This in
cludes the Black Diamond mines, which
have worked but very few men since the
strike began. The miners rtturned to
work at the old scale. A great number
of objectionable miners were discharged.
It is believed now that the strike is at an
end here.
Cripple Creek, Col., June 13. No
trouble has occurred over the opening of
mines this week. Most of the agitators
have left the camp. The Victor mine re
sumed operations to-day, and now over
twenty mines are lifting ore. This af
ternoon 250 militiamen of the Second
regiment escorted twenty -five prisoners
to Colorado Springs via the Cheyenne
Canon road and the soldiers will then
return home. The signal corps and the
artillery, with the exception of a Gatling
gun and fiye men, started to Denver to

IjAoalle, ills., June 16. At a mass
meeting of miners from Oglesbv, Peru

nothing less than last year s mining
prices. Resolutions were also adopted
denouncing the Columbus delegates and
demanding the resignation of President
McBnde and others who were parties to
the compromise agreement.
JttCLKJNALD, fa., June 13. A mass-
meeting of 2,000 miners, representing
the mines in this vicinity, including
those ot vv. f. Kend, was held here to
day. The object of the meeting was to
decide whether the miners should abide
by the terms of the Columbus compro
mise. s no omcial notice or the compro
mise agreement had been received from
President McBride, it was decided to
wait on this information before taking
any action. Ihe feeling is strongly
against accepting the rate. Whether the
miners will return to work on. the receipt
of President McBride's circular is hard to
say. It is reported that President McBride
was hung in efhgy by the miners at
Hay's station this morning. The foreign

SITUATION IN SALVADOR.
The Refugees ou the Bennington to
be Surrendered to an Established
Government Preparing a Prec
edent for Probable Hawal- 1
ian Complications.
Washington, June 13. It is stated on
authority that as soon as the new Gov
ernment in Salvador has fully estab
lished itself and is able to preserve law
and order it is the intention of Presi
dent Cleveland to direct the surrender
of the refugees now on board the United
States steamer Bennington to the proper
officials not, however, without the
fullest guarantees on the part of Salva
dor that the prisoners shall be tried by
an impartial tribunal, organized in con
formity with the Constitution of the re
public. According to the latest dispatches
from Commander Thomas, there still ex
ists throughout Salvador a state of
affairs but little short of anarchy, and
the members of the late Government
who were given asylum on the Benning
ton, would, in his opinion, be murdered
without any formalities whatever mo
ment they reached shore.
It is said Commander Thomas was
anxious for permission to take his refu
gees to Panama in the Bennington, or to
put them aboard some outward-bound
merchant vessel but was restrained from
this proceeding, because this Govern
ment was opposed to establishing a prec
edent in the matter of granting asylum.
While it is true that the naval regula
tions contain an ancient paragraph giv
ing a commanding officer certain discre
tion to act in the interests of humanity
in extraordinary contingencies, and that
Commander Thomas is, in all probability,
fully protected by that clause in the
present Instance, it is also a
fact that very grave complica
tions might result from a con
tinuance of this old practice in modern
times. The difference between the case
in Brazil, where the refugees on the
Portuguese ship were revolutionists and
at La Libertad, where they are members
of an oyerturned Government, it con
sidered scarcely matterial. The Hawai
ian situation presents possibilities which
the United States desires to be prepared
to meet; for in case of trouble there the
United States does not want to make it
possible for British or Japanese ships to
grant asylum. .
The demand which has been made on
United States Consul Pollock at Salvador
for the extradition of the refugees on
charges of robbery, does not affect the
administration in its action, for the ex
tradition treaty provides fully for its en
forcement without governmental inter
ference. Should the Salvadorian refugees
be regularly indicted under proper judi
cial procedure the courts of the United
States would alone be competent to exe
cute it if the refugees were, within their
jurisdiction. This matter will not be
permitted to obscure what is considered
to be the paramount one, that of granting
asylum.
Reports from Salvador this morning
show that the new Government there is
as far from stability as ever and that the
conditions requisite for the delivery of
the Bennington s ref ugess are distant.
The Sun's Cotton Review.
New York. June 13. The Sun's cotton
review says: uotton advanced to o
points, then reacted and closed dull at a
net advance for the day of 3 points, with
sales of 70,100 bales. Liverpool declined
2 points, recovered this and, according
to an erroneous dispatch to the ex
change, then advanced a points more.
But this proved to be a mistake. The
net improvement for the day was only
about i point. The spot sales there were
8,000 bales at unchanged prices. New
Orleans advanced 3 to 5 points. Port
receipts were 2,755 bales, against 857
this day last week, and a.zes last year;
thus far this week 12,717 against 13,337
bales last week. Spot cotton here was
steadv. with sales of 414 bales for spin
ning. The Southern spot markets were
generally quiet and without alteration.
To-day's features were: Drought in the
Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas
and Tennessee, coupled with a rise in
Liverpool, caused an advance early in
the day. part of which was lost later on,
owing to a correction of early advices
from Liverpool reporting a decided ad
vance, rain in South Carolina and local
realizing.
Vessels Seized in the Healing Waters.
Seattle, Wash., June 13. Advices of
June 3rd, from Sitka, contain the an
nouncement that the Mohican, the flag
ship of the Bering Sea patrol fleet, ar
riyed that day after cruising five days
around the Kodiak islands. On the third
day the warship spied a yessel near the
shore, which at once put on all sail in an
attempt to escape.- After the Mohican
had sent two - shots from her
Hotchkiss guns across the schooner's
beams it hove to. It was found to be the
Volunteer, from Seattle. Arms and im
plements, ready for use in sealing were
found. These were seized and toe v oi-
unteer ordered to Sand Point to await
the close of the season. The Mohican
had a similar experience next day with
the schooner George R. White, of Seat
tle. -

Washington, June 13. The widow of '
Senator Vance, of North Carolina, has
written this statement as a rejoinder to
the card of her stepson:
"The card and other statements com-
ing irom onaries n. v ance concerning
the removal of Senator Vance's remains
are pronounced by his widow to be sim
ply malicious-falsehoods or the outgiv
ings of a disordered brain."
H. O. Havemeyer was before the Sugar
trust committee again to-day. He was
on the stand about half an hour and
made only one important statement that !
was new. He declined to state the
amount of money the American Sugar
Refining company had contributed to i
State and local campaign funds, and as
serted that this was a matter over which
the committee had no jurisdiction. In
this connection he reaffirmed his state
ment of yesterday, that the refining com-
Eany naa contrioutea nothing to any
ational campaign fund. With refer
ence to the question as to how much
money the so-called trust had made
in profits that could be attributed
directly to the McKinley act, he
made the rather ambiguous answer
that the profits that would be made un
der the Tariff bill now before the Senate
would be about one-fourth of those made
under the McKinley law. Mr. Have
meyer was excused at the conclusion of his
testimony. It is understood that the com
mittee has no authority to make him tell
how much money the refining company
contributed forJState and local campaign
purposes. The members of the commit
tee are very much gratified at the full
and free statements made by Mr. Have
meyer and they are inclined to believe
that he was entirely frank in what he
said. -
The President to-day sent to the Sen
ate the following nominations: Pendle
ton King, of North Carolina, to be the
chief of the bureau of indexes and ar
chives. Department of State. To be
consuls John B. Gorman of Georgia, at
Mattamoras, Mexico; John tl. Miller, of
Kentucky, at Port Stanley, Falkland
Islands.
The branch office in the Navy Depart-
is said to have been seriously hampered
in its work, which is largely of a tech
nical nature, by the discharge of several
experienced men, under the reform
policy of Public Printer Benedict.
Among others the foreman has been dis
charged and the places of several useful
men are said to have been hlled by the
appointment of incompetent workmen.
An engagement of $1,250,000 in gold
for export to Europe to-day from New
York has reduced the treasury good re
serve down to $67,950,000. In ordinary
business transactions, the treasury, du
ring the past few days, received over
$800,000 in gold in exchange for small
notes, for which a demand is beginning
to be made. These gains do not, how
ever, offset the heavy loss by exports.
The stated .treasury balance to-day.
which includes the gold reserve, has
been reduced to $116,007,000.
The President s health is very much
better to-day. He returned to his desk
this morning and saw a number of vis
itors who had important business with
him, including Secretaries Gresham and
Carlisle, Attorney General Olney and
several Senators. After to-day the Pres
ident will resume, his public reception.
The Senate sub-Committee on f inance,
of which Senator Jones is chairman, has
been wrestling with the woolen goods
question for several days in the hope of
a conclusion that will yield a schedule
upon which all can agree. This is be
lieved to have been accomplished and
the substitute will be offered to-morrow
or f rid ay. There are three proposi
tions before the committee, but it is be
lieved now that one has been finally hit
upon that will be incorporated in the
bill without further change.
