He Urges Democrats to Stand by the Party's Demand for Free Coal , Senator Vest Replies to Him Duty Placed oh Coal The Pree List Beached The Hatch Anti-Option Bill Debated. SENATE. Washington, June 18. No business of general interest was transacted in the morning half hour. At 10:30 o'clock the Tariff bill was taken up the pending question being the first two paragraps of the silk schedule 298 and 299 which had been reserved on Saturday. At the request of Senator Piatt, the paragraphs went over without action until to-morrow. The schedulde on "Pulp, Paper and Books" was then taken up, the first para graph being one putting a duty of 10 per cent, ad valorem on wood duId. It was agreed to; also the paragraph putting a duty of 10 por cont. on sheathing paper and roofing ; . The House rates in the paragraph on printing paper, unsized, was struck out and paragraph 306 was amended so as to read, "printing paper, unsized, sized or glued, suitable only for books and newspapers, 15 per cent, ad valorem." The next paragraph was one niacin et a duty of 15 per cent, on copying paper, filtering paper, silver paper, tissue paper, etc. The duty in the House was 25 wr cent. The amendment of the Finance committee was to make it 30 per cent. The amendment was agreed to with the understanding that it might h - changed wnen tne mil comes into the Sei The duty on paper envelopes wa iixed at 20 per cent. ; on paper hangings and paper for screens or boards, writing paper, drawing paper, and all other paper not specially provided for, at 20 p3r cent. ; on blank books of all kinds, 20 per cent., and on books, pamphlets, engrav ings, etc., not specially provided for, 25 per cent. ; on playing cards, 10 cents per pack, and 50 per cent, ad yalorera, and on manufactures of paper not specially provided for, 20 per cent. lhis nmshed schedule M, and schedule N, "Sundrea," was taken up. There was no controversy over any item until shoe buttons ware passed. At this point comes in the amendment of the Finance com mittee to insert a new paragraph. "Coal, Bituminous and tahale, 20 cents per ton; coal slack or culm, such as will pass through a half iuch screen, 15 cents per ton." Senator Hill moved to strike out the paragraph and to admit coal free of duty. He said that he presumed, from what had taken place in the last two weeks, that his motion would be de feated by a substantially unanimous Re publican vote and by the votes of those Democrats who seemed to be voting against that class of amendments. The country expected, hejsaid, that a Demo cratic Congress, in framing a Tariff Re form bill, would put bituminous coal on the free list. This was required sub stantially, by the Chicago platform. Every Democratic orator in the land, who had spoken on the subject, had de manded free' coal. If there was one thing more than another to which the Democratic party stood solemnly pledged, it was to place raw material" on the tree list, lie said that since he began his remarks, the Senators who had charge of the measure had left their seats. He assumed that they ha 1 noth ing to say in defence of a duty on coal. He was waitiug to hear from them the plea that they had been bulldozed into putting coal on the dutiable list, and would liKe to snow wnat senators had stated that they would refuse to vote for the bill if coal should be put on the free list. "Let them be named said he, that we may know who they are. If we put this duty on coal, we go back on all Democratic arguments uttered m years past; we virtually repudiate the platform adopted in Chicago, andjwe are brought into ridicule at the hands of the American people. Of course it has been declared that my motion . is to be defeated. But 1 trust that the little band which has stood together, thus far, in the Senate for free raw material will stand together now, whether they be one, two, three, tour, or hve. lhe prin ciple is involved in this amendment. It is at stake here; ana X tor one, even it l am alone, propose to stand up for that principle." Senator Vest, taking up Senator Hill's challenge, said that Senator Hill "is op posed to this bill, so far as I understand, because it contains a provision for an in come tax, and who asks for information as to what has caused coal to be put on the dutiable list. We are here to gi?e information, but not to those who are as well informed s ourselves. The Senator from New York, knows as much in rela tion to the matter as we do; and, as a matter of course, his inquiry is not for information but m order to elicit some statement which would antagonize the passage of this bill in its entirety. I have had occasion to say that there are a great "many things m this bill which do not meet my personal approval.. But I deem it ray duty to Iook to tne general resuit as to what will be for the best in terest of the country, to the largest de gree. It is impossible for each Senator to obtain all he wants in a great measure like this; but if I obtain the best that I can get in the right direction (while I may deprfecate and regret that I cannot go farther) I shall not hesitate as to how far I will go. We are determined, if we can, to supplant the McKinley act with a better measure; and I am compelled to give up my opinion in favor of free coal and to take a duty oi aoouc one naix oi what is imposed under the McKinley act." . Senator Hill took exception to what Senator Vest had said about his (Hill's) intention to vote against the bill because of his opposition to the income tax. "Wh3." he asked in an angry tone,"i8 his informant? What Senator around this circle has dared to assure him of any such fact? What Senator has dared to deliver my vote one way or the other, on this bill? I am opposed to certain features of this bill. I am opposed earnestly and conscientiously opposed to that Socialistic and Populistic principle which has been engrafted on this bill the in come tax. But while I have opposed that portion of the bill, no Senator around this circle has a right to say that he un derstands that I am opposed to the whole Senator Vest recalled the fact that the sm at, fmm Num York in a carefully nr.inrMi PMrpsfl on the income tax, said that he could not and would not support a measure that contained that provision and as he (Vest) assumed that it would remain with the bill and he had no question but wnat it woua ne tnougns he was authorized in saying that the Senator meant he would not vote for the bill. If he did not mean that, he would be exceedingly glad to know it. Nnbodv separated from the Senator m regard to any fuui"6 more reluctance than himself . Senator Hill challenged Senator Vest to take his address to the Senate on the income tax and point a line or sentence tott ftom wbichbe had a right to make Sat inference. "I never said," he con tinued, "that I intended to support this bill if it contained the income tax, nor did I say that J wpuld not. J cross that bridge when I reach it. And no in genius suggestion of the ingenius Sena tor from Missouri will have me declare here and now what I will do when the final vote comes on this bill. God knows (No one can tell) what this bill will be when it passes the Senate or what it will be when it comes out of conference. I know not how many concessions are yet to be extorted from the Finance com mittee. I know not how many other Democratic principles have to be yielded at the dictation of some one (no one knows who). Therefore, I reserve any expression of my views or this bill until I see what the bill is when it is presented to me as a finality." After several other Senators had discussed the subject, Sena tor Harris remarking that Senator Hill's amendment had been discussed for four hours, moved to lay it on the table. He withdrew that motion, however, at the request of Senator Hillj, in order that the vote might be taken directly on the mo tion to strike out the paragraph and to put bituminous coal on the. free list. The motion was rejected yeas, 7; nays. 51. The affirmative votes were given by the three Populist Senators, two Demo cratic Senators Hill and Irby and two Republican Senators Hansbrough and Washburn. Several other amendments were voted down and finally the Senate amendment was agreed to without a division, so that bituminous coal and shale shall pay a duty of 40 cents a ton and coal slack or culm 15 cents. Senator Hill moved to strike out the next paragraph of the committee amend ment, "coke, 15 per cent, ad valorem.' The motion was defeated yeas, 4: nays, 46. The yea votes were Senators Allen, Davis, Hill and Peffer. That disposed of the coal paragraphs, and the Senate went on with the other paragraphs in the sundries schedule. No further controversies arose and the remainder of the bill down to the, free list was di? posed of according to the pro gramme of the Finance committee. The Senate then at 6:14 okslock ad fourned until to-morrow at 10 fi'clock. HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. The House was called to order by the clerk this morning, who then read a let letter from Speaker Crisp, appointing Representative Bailey to serve as Speaker pro tem. for the day. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, re ported from the Committee on Appro priations the General Deficiency bill for the year ending June 30, 1894. A number of requests for leaves of ab sence on account of sickness in the fami lies of members were made and granted, which led Mr. Eeed to inquire, informally: "To what extent does sickness in family excuse for absence?" but he got no an swer. The Senate bill to authorize the issue by railroad companies of interchange able 5,000-mile' mileage tickets and to carry an excess amount of baggage thereon, requested by the National Com mercial Travellers' association, called up by Mr. Durburrow, was given considera tion and passed. Mr. Hatch succeeded in getting his anti-Option bill before the House in Committee of the Whole, with Mr. Liv ingston, of Georgia, in the chair. After the bill had been read, Mr. Hatch made an explanation of its provisions: and ad dressed himself to a discussion of -the im portance of the measure. The only difference between the bill and the rule of the Chicago Board of Trade, or of any other board of trade, was that-the bill proposed to enact into a law the regula tion governing deliveries acd compel the delivery in good faith of every bushel of wheat traded for. Suppose, interrupted Mr. Cox, Demo crat, of Tennessee, that when the time comes for completing the transaction by the delivery of the commodity, the pur chaser for some reason does not want the delivery made, and is willing to relieve the seller from his contract. How are you going to reach these transactions?, "I will tell the gentleman," answered Mr. Hatch. "No man should have the right to go on a board of trade and en gage in a transaction nor series of trans actions the effect of which is to depreci ate the values of tne property of his fel low citizens." Mr. Hatch answered questions by va rious other members as to the effect of the bill upon certain cases cited, and in closing showed that the intent and pur port of the bill was to prevent "short" or "long" sales, or by whatever name they are known, which are of wind and do not comprehend a purpose to make an actual delivery of the commodities. Mr. Warner, Democrat, of New York; said that if the Democrats would act upon the bill after fully acquainting themselves with its provisions they would defeat it by an overwhelming majority. It was un-Democratie, pa ternalistic, and ever since it had been introduced in the Congress by its Re publican author in the Fifty-first Con gress down to the present timp, he had been opposed to it. The bill was the product of misinformation. This was not said, Mr. Warner explained, in the sense of criticism upon the gentlemen from Missouri, , but be ciu8e it was the only explanation for tne bill. Proceeding to detail in support of this statement, Mr. Warner explained the meaning of "option," a word which Mr. Hatch had used to define or express a gambling transaction. It was, in fact, Mr. Warner said, the name giyen to- a method bf regulating sales and deliveries intended to prevent gambling and which was the most suc cessful bar to successful gambling. A "September option" meant that the seller could deliver the commodity sold at any time within the month, so that if any one wants to corner that commodity against him the stock must be carried for a whole month to make the corner effective. This, in itself, was a great de terrent and the adoption of the "option" rule was a severe blow to gambling. s The principle of "futures" was then copiously illustrated by Mr. Warner" y various transactions in actual business, in the course of which he had the closest attention of the committee. It went into almost every relation and transaction of life. It tended to greater profits to the producer for his wheat and lower prices of bread to the consumer. Of the men who engaged in the business of marketing the crops of the producer, Mr. Warner said nine- tenths lost money, while the tenth who were more fortunate had less money at the end than one -tenth of the losers lost. Mr. Warner exhibited tables showing the sales in New'York for future delivery of several articles covering a term of years, which he claimed showed that supply and demand, rather than transactions in futures, regulated the prices. Jn respect to wheat, the price of which, he said, was now low, the tables would show that the lines bt futures ran along with the lines of hieh prices. Mr. Brvan. Democrat, of Nebraska, followed in support of the bilL He said that it was admitted that gambling in food products did occur, and that being n. in his ocinion. it either increased or decreased the price. No man had a nat ural right to engage in a business which would affect the value of another man's property, and the law ought not to give him that riffht. At 5:10 o'clock the committee rose and the House adjourned untu to-morrow RnrrxrTTAM. Ala.. June 18. An un successful attempt was made last night to destroy a bridge near nirmmgnam o" j the Georgia Pacific , Ignorance of the nf dvnamite prevented the men from succeeding. One thousand miners held a mass , meeting to-day at Adamsville and voted to continue the strike. The situation hre is clearly that j the strike is hopelessly lost, and the miners have no chance to win. All is quiet and little if any trouble is expected. WILMINGTON N. C, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1894. TILLMAN AND BUTLER. THEY OPEN THE CAMPAIGN IN SOUTH CABOLINA. A Joint Discussion at Rock Hill The Governor on the Defensive Sena . tor Butler Advocates Settle ment of the Senatorial Con test by a .Primary Elec tion Other Candi dates in tbe Field. Charleston, S. C., June 18. The first meeting of the campaign in this State was held to-day at Rock Hill, where Governor Tillman and Senator Butler, candidates for the 6eat in the? United States Senate, appeared on the stump together. Four candidates for Governor made speeches and Congressman Strait appeared before his constituents H or re election. The interest of the meeting centered in the engagement between Tillman and Butler, Tillman had the opening speech. He denied that he was responsible for all the bitterness injected into the politics of this State and charged the newspapers with this offence, The remarkable part of his speech was, not in his discussion of national questions, but in his plea for peace, for a patient and' respectful hear ing of the addresses of the candidates. Senator Butler made quite a favorable impression, evidently haying as many supporters in the audience as Governor Tillman. He said he would meet the Governor half way in his request for fair play. He told how he had written to the Democratic Executive committee, asking that a special box for Senatorial votes be placed at the primary polls, and pledging himself to withdraw from the race if he did . not receive a majority of the Democratic votes polled at the primary. The committee had not yet acted upon - the proposition and he judged that Governor Tillman, who had always been so earnest an advo cate of the primary plan, was not dis posed now to run the risk of defeat at a primary of the party. There was no disorder at the meeting to day and this is regarded as an en couraging sign. Senator Butler said that he wished to bring the people of the State again to gether and that he was the one to do it. The second meeting of the campaign will be held at Yorkvillo to morrow and the discussion resumed. Tbe Sun's Cotton Report. New York, June 18. The Sun's cotton review says: Cotton declined 5 to 6 points and then rallied and closed steady at a decline for the day of 2 to 3" points, with sales of 56,200 bales. Liverpool de clined 1 to 1J points and closed quiet but steady. Spot sales were 8,000 .bales at prices in buyers' favor, though without quotable change. In Manchester yarns were quiet but steady, cloths dull. The Bombay receipts for the half week were 19,000 bales, against 18,000 for the same time last year. Port receipts were "1,475 bales, against 2,377 this day last week and 6,414 last year; thus far this week, o,137 against 6,375 for the same time last week. Exports to day were 130 bales to Great Britain and 3,753 to the Continent. Spot cotton here was l-16c lower. Sales were 757 bales for spinning. Southern spot markets were very quiet, but in many cases they were reported steady. To-day's features were : Rains in Georgia. South and North Carolina and Tennessee, as well as in other parts of the cotton sections east of the Mississippi, had a depressing effect. The adyices from Liverpool were also rather more favor able to the bears. The speculation was still on a small scale. Toward the close some buying for local and Southern ac count caused a rally and the net decline for the day was small. The Hatch bill is again up for consideration, and this fact was bearish.

Swain was an es caped convict who had been sentenced for life murder and for whom a large re ward was offered. Whiddeon met Swain, and, professing friendliness, invited him to his house to dine. Swain ac cepted and while eating Whiddeon ordered him to throw up his hands Swain reached for his gun and Whid deon shot him dead. Mrs. whiddeon and several children were at the table when the tragedy occurred. Whiddeon put Swain's corpse in a buegy and drove about fifteen miles over a lonely road with the body of his victim, reaching Tampa about midnight. No Cholera in Hamburg. Hamburg, June 18.

In Chicago. New York, June 18. It was a quiet day in stock circles, the transaction 8 footing up only 116,000 shares, and in railway and miscellaneous bonds $648,000. At the opening the Industrials were strong wjth an advancing tendency, while railroad shares were Inclined to weakness. St. Paul aud Union Pacific were especially weak at this time, the former selling down i and the latter 1 per cent. St Paul was weakened by the decrease of over 168,000 in gross earn ings for the second week in June, while Union Pacific dropped on the false re port that Attorney General Olney in tended to bring suit to recover moneys advanced by the Government to i con struct the road. The stock was also weakened by the fears of a heavy assess ment. The other prominent railroads declined to $ per cent, in i sym pathy. The engagement of $2,000,000 gold for shipment by the steamship Lahn and th! falling off in. the least bound shipments from Chicago operated against this group. Atchison sold down to 7 on the announcement that the reor ganization plan to be giyen out late to day or to-morrow will levy a $12 assess ment on the stock. The Industrials cut aloof from other stocks and were strong. Sugar advanced to 99 , Chicago Gas to 794, Unitej25tates Cordage to 23& Cor dage, preferred, to 40f and GeneraliElec tric to37. These stocks at the figures quoted showed advances of i to li per cent, a part of this rise being lost near the close on realizations. Sugar was taken by the . shorts, who were disturbed by a Washington ! des patch that . the sugar schedule wiu pass the senate practically in the shape recommended by the Fi nance committee, and that the opposi tion in the House will not be as vigorous as at first reported. Chicago Gas moved up on the dividend talk. Cordage was , advanced by the bull pool and the rumors of the reduction in the floating debt were again revived, i After mid-day tbe railway improved. Some issues made gains ranging from i to i per cent. Th market was benefited in the late trading by the rise in wheat. Probably the best features of the ad vance in the cereals was that it was caused by : heavy foreign buying, which, if continued, will soon put an end to the efflux of gold. In the inac tive stocks, Alton and Terre Haute, com mon, rose 3 $ to 35. " The preferred V., llirVlf 1R11 ! .in.Vsf IRA lnnfr liuuguv juifc aatlJOb 1UU buu JODU J o- ported sales, ?

Some of the ' bankrupt stocks and bt. Paul lost i to i per cent. Railway and miscellaneous bonds were dull and lower. Sales of listed stocks aggregated 84,000 shares? unlisted, 32,000. - : I Uhicago, June 18. lhe shorts were wondering "where they were at" at the close of to-diy's market. That wheat should turn on them so quickly and with such force as t did to-day was inexpli cable. Thati'European markets should advance in tie face of Saturday's de cline here was likewise difficult for them to understand Yet, these were actual occurrences, and there was a scamper mg of the befrs to buy in the wheat they sold with so fiuch assurance last week, New York ww leading Chicago and the seaboard was sending buying orders. Foreigners were also taking wheat. Bartlett, Frazier & Co. were buying for French account. The tenor of the con tinental advices was very bullish. Bart lett, Frazier & Co's., private Berlin cable reported that market exited, and the pub-l i 1 1 j mi ,1 lie ones au gave auvances. mere were au vices reporting snows and - frosts in Austria and Upper Hungary, that had lots more to do with the strong feeling than anything that was received. The home news was unimportant. Some talk of the settlement of the elevator con troversy and gossip of an attempt of those interested in the warehouses to force an advance in July wheat proba bly assisted the upward tendency of prices. July wheat opened at from 58 to 57gc, sold from 57 to 61ic. easing off and closing at oOic, a gam of 2c from Saturday. Cash wheat was in light sup ply and good demand, i rices were stronger and 1 to lie per bushel higher. Corn tagged on behind wheat and at the close of the day's session was c higher than it was Saturday. The news bearing on tne mamet was not oi an order to create a buying enthusiasm. July com opened at 404c, sold between 40 to 40c and 4l$c, closing at n to 41fc, with the gain noted above. Cash corn was m good demand and jc higher, closinff steady. Oats were weak for July, whilst June and September showed more firmness It was evident that raiding tactics were being pursued by some people with the intention of making lower quotations that advantageous purchases might be made. There was also some selling of the July and buying of September, the new crop features being supposed to present a better prospect for an advance, jury oats closed fc under and September ic higher than Saturday. June closed 4c higher. Cash oats were firm and i to lc higher. In provisions trading was very limited. Prices were firm at the opening, but, later, showed no more strength than could be characterized as steady. Tbe hog market was the initial influence and the tone was maintained through sym pathy with wheat. Outside markets were steady and cables firm. July pork closed 24c higher than Saturday, Jury rios oc higher, whilst July lard was unchanged. There was some improvement in the cash market. Receipts were light and ship ments free.
