SENATE. Washington, June 15i The passed to-day from the region of to that of action on the. wool schedule of the Tariff bill. The talking continued from 10:30 to 3:30 o'clock, but none of the speeches presented anything very new or remarkable, except a short one by Senator Proctor, who made good use of his Bible reading to illustrate his view of the attack upon the wool industry of the country. He discovered in the murder of Abel "a keeper of sheep" by Cain, "a tiller of the , ground," the first historical mention of hostility to the sheep indutrv. and he predicted that in this case as.. .t, "a mark would be set" upon the Democrats, and that they would be forced to cry out: "My punish ment is greater than I can bear." . This and other biblical references and quota tions was greatly enjoyed on the Repub lican side of the Chamber, and in the galleries. A good many votes were taken upon amendments offered on the Repub lican side of the Chamber, and while all of these amendments were rejected, one of them came very near being earned, It was an amendment offered by Senator Peffer to substitute the McKi-uey classi fication on woolen goods (reduc d 50 per cent.) and the vote was yeas, dii; nays, 35. the four Populists voting in the affirm ative. When the Senate adjourned another amendment 6i Senator Peffer was pending, to put all woolen manu factures on the free list. No action has been taken on Senator Jones" amendment to strike out the House paragraph leaving wool on. the dutiable list, nor in fact has the amend ment been formally offertdr A small defiency bill for printing ex penses and some others were passed and then the Senate at 6:30 o'clock, after a short executive session, adjourned until to-morrow at 10 o'clock. HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. ' Among the bills reported was one for a public building at Chicago and one authorizing the erection of a Govern ment printing office on onef of the public reservations id the city of Washington. Mr. Outhwaite reported a resolution from the Committee on Rules, directing the immediate consideration of the In dian Appropriation bill under the five minute rule until 3:30 o'clock when the previous question shall be considered as ordered on all pending amendments and on the passage of the bill. The resolution met with much opposi tion from the Democratic side. By a vote of 128 to 63 Mr. Outhwaite's demand for the previous question was seconded, but on the passage of the reso lution, the Republicans refrained from voting-the vote being 131 to 6. The yeas and nays were ordered and resulted, yeas,176; nays,76; present and not voting, 3. So the resolution was adopted. Mr. Richardson, rising to a question of personal privilege.sent to the clerk's desk and had read the editorial in. the Even ing News of yesterday, relating to tne charges contained its local columns con necting Mr. Richardson's name ith a certain transaction in real estate. This real -estate had been purchased by the Eckington Street Railway company, and the Areu' stated that the transfer from Mr. Richardson to the agent of the rail way company had preceded - the presen tation of a report to the House by Mr. Richardson from ' the Committee on Affairs of the District of Columbia by only a few days. The situation, the News aiSoiAd. warranted an investigation, in asmuch as all the proceedings were part of a scheme to fasten theoverhead trolley system upon thBtreet rail roads of the District; His expla nation was, in bfief, that he had purchased an interest in the property m J89r and 1892 for purposes of speculation, but the rise in value had not met his ex pectation, and in March last he placed the property in the hands of real estate agents, who had disposed of it. without further reference to him (Richardson) except to account for the proceeds, which barely recouped his investment. w;a afatomnts were supported by letters and documents which Mr. Richardson At the close of Mr. Richardson's re marks the members evidenced appreciation by applause, whiCl from buth sides.- - The Speaker then declared the House in Committee of the Whole and the readiug of the bill was begun. In ac cordance with the understanding that the agreement for, debate previously made should be respected, Mr. McKae was given half an hourNto oppose the provision of the bill directing the trans fer to the credit of the Indian tribes in terested, upon the books of thereasury, e arkin non-navine State bonds or stocks, arid thereupon they shallbe eSne the property of the Unite States and are to be sold by the Secretary of TroajMirv.

Making 81oyr Progress In TheiJrj H j Work: of Settling Differences. NewSTork, June iS-rThe annual coifc-1 vention of the Southern Railway and Steamship association.' following the EVERY SENATOR TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE SUGAR TRUST COMMITTEE. meeting of the executive board, which has been in session at the Waldorf , for the past three days, was not . .called . to order until nearly noon to' day, '.'.The" failure of the executive board to agree to the restoration of rates has -had rather demoralizing effect on the convention, and but little interest is taken in its pro ceedings. Nearly all the officials were late m arriving and many, or them aid not put an appearance at alL This was especially the case' witn repre sentatdves of the Southwestern lines. Samuel Felton, who has been an important factor in the meeting of the executive board and who is general man ager of the ueen and Crescent route, leaves for his home in Cincinnati to-day. The general opinion is that the associa tion will adjourn tomorrow and will meet again at the Oriental hotel, Man hattan Beach, some time next month. It is understood that the whole trouble in coming to a settlement about rates is caused by the water lines from New York not being able to agree with the Southwestern roads in regard to rates to common points in Tennessee and Ala bama. The convention took up the considera tion to-day of a new association agree ment. It consists of twenty-three arti cles. Six of them were considered and passed. One of tlie most important articles was in regard to the continuance of the association as a body. This was passed unanimously. It is not within the range of possibility, how ever, that there will be any restoration of rates until the new agreement goes into effect August 1st. The convention took a recess at 1 :45 o'clock until 3 o'c'ock. Among other things considered at the morning session of the body was the charge that the Mobile and Ohio road was carrying many times more freight Into the association's territory than its competing line, the Illinois Central. It was1 not established, however, tnat this was owing to reduced rates, but the mat ter will be investigated. , . . When the convention adjourned at 5:45 o'clock to-day Commissioner Stahl- man voiced the sentiment of the conven tion when he said that a final adjourn ment would not be reached until Wed nesday and possibly Thursday of next week. It was expected when the con vention met yesterday that the work would be completed to-day, but it soon developed that an agreement could not be reached without considerable discus sion, if at all. When the convention adjourned only nine of the twenty-six articles of agree ment had been considered. In almost every case they differ from similar arti cles in last jrear's agreement. Represen tatives of the various lines were unani mous in demanding a larger proportion of the business than has formerly been allowed them, and it is understood the officials of the Louisville and Nashville railroad were the most persistent in their efforts to secure the lion share of the traffic for their company.

The Southern business conference to be held at the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York,next Thursday giyes promise of momentous results. It is now expected' that, every ureal business, interestevery city of O yrf., "... i importance, every... board of trade and every transportation company will be present bynoiable representatives, equal in character to the striking list of New Yorkers who have joined in the call for a business talk.

Washinoton, June 15. The torpedo boat Ericsson, lately completed at Du buque, Is ready to be floated over the rapids and held at Rock Island until the Navy Department decides whether the contractors' proposition to deliver her to the Government at New York should be accepted. The contract called for, the Ericsson's delivery at Pensacola, but there is no water near there for testing the vessel, and the Government would be compelled to fit her out far from a base of naval supplies. The contractors' offer to cruise round the coast to New York in order that the trial maybe made in Long Island sound will probably be accepted. The San Francisco, on being relieved at Bluefields next Monday by the Marble head, is under orders to take the United States Consul on board at .hangs ton, Jamaica, and proceed to the cayman brae, the island to which most of the salvage from the Kearsarge wreck on Roncador reef has been taken. Capt. Watson will endeavor to secure every thing useful that belonged to the ill-fated ship and the Consul will pay for them. After that is accomplished the San Fran cisco will come home, leaving the con sul at Kingston. It is expected that the New York will leave Kingston for New York to-night. Senator Blackburn reported the Post office Appropriation bill to the Senate to-day. The amount or the estimates tor the year ending June 30, 1895, aggre gated $90,399,485 and the House appro priation was $S7,340,oa. The -Senate makes a reduction of $4,000, leaving the appropriation as carried in this bill $87, 236,599. The estimated postal revenues for 1895 are $84,424,748. The bill as re ported is therefore less than the estimates by $3,162,885. It exceeds the estimated postal revenues by $2,808,851, and ex ceeds the appropriation of 1894 by $3,232, 285. There are but two items of increase-r-$1,000 for advertising and $10,000 for payment of rewards for detection of crimes, etc. The item of advertising ex penses in the office of the First Assistant Postmaster General is reduced $15,000. Senator Sherman offered an amend ment to the Postoffice Appropriation bill appropriating $10,000 forspecial facili ties for the mail service between Cincin natti and Cleveland and between Cincin natti and Atlanta, all of which is to be expended at the discretion of the Post master General. . V The Senate to-day confined thenomi- uations of Campbell P. Berry, assistant United States treasurer at San Francisco and Pendleton King, of North Carolina, to be chief of the bureau of indexes and archives in the Department of State. The Sugar Investigation committee met at 11 :30 o'clock with -Theodore Havemeyer, of the Sugar trust, as a wit ness," Mr. Havemeyer explained that he attended to the . practical affairs of the American Sugar Kenning company.sucn as the manufacture of sugar and the purchase arid fitting of the machinery. He and Senator Allen nad a long pas sage at arms over the attempt of the Senator to bring out the alleged connec tion of the trust and members of the Senate. Mr. Hayemeyer added nothing new to the facts gathered by the com mittee. This afternoon the committee began its examination of every member of the Senate with reference to whether they have speculated in sugar stock; whether attempts were made to in fluence them by members or agents of trusts; what arguments were advanced to the members of the Finance committee by the so-called conservative Senators to secure a change in the sugar schedule, and, in general, what they knew about the connection of the trust with the sugar schedule legislation. The Senators will be summond in alphabeti cal order after the members of the com mittee have had their turn. These, Sen ators Gray, Lindsay, Davis, Lodge and Allen, took the oath and gave testimony. Each answered that he had nothing to do with sugar speculation or with the attempts of the Sugar trust to have the sugar schedule modified. The commit tee has drawn up a series of questions that are so framed that no Senator who has ever had anything to do with sugar stock can give a negative answer on make a technical denial without perjur ing himself.

The enthusiastic bulls of a week ago have taken to the woods, cr else turned bears. Long wheat was pressing on the marketto-day and those holders who. haye still a lingering hope that some thing may happen to cause a recovery, but are not willing to back their opinion to too great an extent, were buying "puts" at prices 2c removed from the ruling quotations of July wheat. The opening to-day was weak. The market became weaker and there was but a slight rally from the extreme low point of the day at the close. July wheat opened at from 58$ to 58c, sold between 58$ c and 57ic, closing $ to ic under yes terday at 58$c bid Cash wheat was in good demand. y Corn succumbed to the rains and pre dictions of rains. There were many de serters from the ranks of the believers in higher prices, and those who were long of corn and who felt that there was no chance of (an immediate advance were free sellers. The weak wheat market threw a discouraging influence over the corn pit and declines were generally in order. July con opened at 41$c, sold between 41$c and 40$c, closing at 40$c, at net loss of $c from yesterday. There was a mod erate demand for cash corn. Offerings were fair at grices ranging from to $c under yesterday. Oats made a decidedly good start to day, but, unfortunately for prices, the weak wheat and corn markets were too extensive in their influence to permit of their maintaining the strength shown early. Yesterday's firmness was carried ovei to the opening to day, but within an hour of the first trading a decline, ex cepting for June, set in. That delivery closed ic higher than yesterday, but July lost ic. Cash oats were in good demand andc higher than yesterday. Provisions were almost lifeless. The opening was weak in deference to the decline in live hogs, after which the speculative feeling in gram ruled. Pack ers did a little buying but not enough to cause any improvement in the tone or prices. July pork closed 7Jc lower than yesterday, July lard 5 to 7$c lower, and July ribs 5c lower. The cash product market was quiet. Two Hundred Miners Killed. Tboppeau, Austrian Silesia, June 15. A disaster involving great loss of life is reported to-day from Karwin. An ex plosion of fire damp occurred last night in the Johann ana Franziska mines at that place. About 200 miners are said to have been killed. Both the mines were on fire when the dispatch announcing the disaster was sent. The ventilation shafts were destroyed and the fire was spread ing in all directions. The explosion took place at 10 o'elock p. m., in the pit of the Franziska mine and resulted in the death of 120 miners there. This explosion was almost immediately followed by a series of explosions in the mines, the most dis astrous being in the Johann pit, where eighty icniners were Killed. A. rescue party which descended into one of the pits at 5 o'clock this morning also per ished. The ventilator shafts of several of the pits were destroyed and the fire spread in all directions.
