PHENOMENAL PROGRESS
MTADE BY THE SENATE
ON
THE TARIFF BILL
Forty-five Pages Disposed of at One
Jump The Consideration of tne
Income Tax Feature of the BUI
Postponed Senator Hill
Will Open the Fight To
day in Opposition to
This Tax.
"SENATE. . -
Washington, D. C, June 20. The
progress made by the Senate to-day in
the . way of getting , through the Tariff
bill might almost be called phenominal.
Beginning at 10:30 o'clock, a. m.. on the
113th page of the bill it had reached, in
five hours, the 135th page. Then at one
jump, with hardly an impediment or
objeciion, forty-five more pages were
wiped out, and all the administratfye
sections'- of the bill were eliminated.
Another half hour's work brought the
Senate up to to the Income tax sections
of the bill, 'and then a halt was called.
The heat of the chamber and the fatigue
to which So: : had been already sub
jected led to uie acquiescence in a pro
position of Senotor Hoar's that the con
sideration of the Income, tax features of
the bill be postponed till to-morrow
morning when Mr. Hill is to open the
fight in opposition to thi3 feature.
In the morning's half hour the Senate
bill to prevent the carrying of obscene
literature and articles designed for inde
cent and immoral use, from one State or
territory into another State or territory
by express was taken from the calender
and passed. It extends to the express
companies the provisions of th. existing
law upon this subject relating u oarri
age by mail.
The Tariff bill was taken up at the
paragraph placing salt on the free list.
Senator Pelf er moved to strike it out
and to put a duty of 5 cents per hundred
pounds on salt. He was supported by
Senators Quay, Piatt, Hawley and Alli
son, but the motion was voted down
24 to 23. Senators Allen and Kyle, two
Populists, voting against Senator Peffer.
Paragraph 641, "all sugars," haying
been reached, and the amendment of the
Finance committee being to strike it out,
Senator Aldrich demanded the yeas and
nays, saying that he wanted to know
who was in favor of free sugar and who
not. The paragraph was struck out
yeas 33; nays 2i. Two Populists and one
Republican Senator Quay voted with
the Democrats to strike out the para
graph.
Senator Kyle stated that the vote which
he had just given was not to be taken as
an indication that he would vote in the
same way when all the schedules of the
bill were made up and when the bill was
reported to the Senate. Senator Allen
made a statement to the same effect and
almost in the same language with the
addition that he had thus far voted with
the Finance committee on the subject of
sugar and on many other subjects for the
purpose of getting speedy action on the
bill.
In the next paragraph, 642, the word
"refined" was struck out after the word
"sulphur."
In the next paragraph, 643, "sulphuric
acid," a proviso was addedthat upon sul
phuric acid imported from any country
which imposes a duty upon sulphuric
acid exported from the United States the
present rate of duty shall be levied.
Senator Allen moved to insert as a new
paragraph, "lumber of any sort, 1 ined
or finished." After some colloquy he
withdrew it and moved to add to para
graph 676, "sawed boards, plank, deals
and other lumber," the words "rough or
dressed."
Senator Chandler, in one of his ex
tremely bitter speeches, recalled Senator
Alien's statement of half an hour ago
that he had not yet made up his mind
what his final vote on the bill would be.
The Senator now wanted free lumber,
and of course he would get it because
that was the understanding. He (Chand
ler) did not expect to prevent this trans
action that . was now going on, but he
did have a curiosity to know whether
the bargain was yet completed; whether
the transaction might be consid
ered as closed; and whether the
Senator from Nebraska had finally con
cluded how he would vote finally on the
bill. Or had he notified the. other side
of the chamber that he had not yet con
cluded what his final vote would be; and
that he would move to put something
else, not produced in Nebraska, on the
frte list and would have to get that as a
consideration for the vote he was to give.
He (Chandler) was anxious to know
when the Senator from Nebraska would
be entirely foreclosed by the other side
of the chamber, .
Senator Allen desired to bay, m as
polite language as he could use to the
Sunator Irom New Hampshire, that, his
statement or insinuation tnat tliere was
any bargain between himself and any
Senator in charge of the bill was entirtly
untrue, and he was inclined to think that
the Senator from New Hampshire knew
it to-be untrue at the time he made it
He (Allen) had made no bargain and
proposed to make no bargain. He pro
posed to vote as
he saw fit. If the bill
when finished should be, in his ludg
ment, a better measure than the present
tariff law, he would vote for it; if not, he
would vote against it. In that respect
he was a "free lance." It was none of
the Senator's business how he proposed
to vote. He was not here to represent
that Senator's yiews.
Senator Chandler insisted that it was
his business to care about how the Sena
tor from Nebraska voted, and he pro
posed to make it so.
After some turther personalities oe
fcwaan Senators Allen and Chandier,
Senator Allen' amendment was adopted
yeas, 28; nays, 81. Jc made paragraph
678 of the free list, read; ? Sawed boards
nlank. deals and other lumber, rough or
dressed.'
. , . .
Senator Allison moved to add to the
naraeranh as amended, the words: "Ex
ceDt boards, planks, deals and otner
lumbar of cedar, lignum vitai, lance
wood, and all other cabinet woods.
Senator Jones, Democrat, of Arkansas-,
assented to tte Amendment and it was
agreed to.
Paragraph mo, placing raw voui ou
the free list, was amended so as to read:
"AH wool of the sheep, hair oi tne camei,
aloaca, and other UKe animais, an au
-. . .. 4-1. A,ln virile irom
wool and nair ou mo su.u, uu",
waste, card waste, bur waste,, dubbing
waste, roying wast, ring waste, and all
waste or rags composed wholly or in
part of wool." The proviso af the end
of Jhe paragraph as to -when it uhould
take effect was struck out. r
The amendment proposed by the
Finance committee to strike out of para
graph 686, "works of art,"the words:"In
cluding stained or painted window glass
or stained or painted glass windows,"
was withdrawn k,od fhose words are re
tained in the paragraph.
This disposed of the free list, in the
nnrreedine portions of the bill the admin-
ifrativA features, sections 23 to 49 inclu
sive, were stricken oufc. They are repro-
.'nmns from the existing law.
lVif paragraph in section 53, for an in.-
nn! revenue tax of $1 a thousand on
cigarettes was, on motion oi -oeuatoi
Jones, struck out of the bill.
" At this stage of the consideration of
the bill it was suggested. by Senator"
Hoar that on account of the intense heat
income tax sections, a few pages farther
on, should be allowed to go over till to
morrow. The proposition was assented
to, and it was ordered that those sections
should be printed as they would- read if
the pending amendments to them were
adopted. Seyeral amendments which Sen
ator Vest proposed to offer were sent up,
read, and ordered to be also printed for
use to-morrow. Notices of amendments
was also given by Senators Peffer and
Hoar the former for a graduated in
come tax and the latter to exempt the
compensation of United States judges
from the tax.
Senator Hill gave notice of his purpose
of addressing the Senate to-morrow in
opposition to the income tax, and then
at 4:15 o'clock, after a short executive
session, the Senate adjourned until to
morrow at 10 o'clock a. m.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Bailey, of Texas, was again ap
pointed by letter from Speaker Crisp to
discharge the duties of the chair to day.
Committees were called for reports
and the House then went into Commit
tee of the Whole. Mr. Livingston, of
Georgia, in the chair, , to further con
sider the Anti-Option bill. By unani
mous consent it was agreed that all de
bate on the bill should close with to
morrow's session and a vote on the bill
and pending amendments be taken after
the morning hour Friday.
The first speaker 'was Mr. Goldzier,
Democrat, of Illinois,, who opposed the
bill. He said be was not the representa
tive of the Chicago Board of Trade,
never had a deal on it and never ex
pected to have. In his district the Chi
cago and the New York Boards of Trade
was as little in favor as they were in the
district of the gentleman of Missouri.
(Hatch), and if he (Goldzier), should
incidentally, in what he had to say,
seem to champion the practices of the
Board of Trade it would be unpopular in
his district. But believing his duty re
quired him to consider the interests of
the whole people lie would do as he had
done. Some one iiad asked if Congress
should do something for the farmers. "I
answer no," said Mr. Goldzier, "and in
so answering the question I stand upon
the broad bottom of the constitution
which has never authorized you nor any
of your predecessors to select any class
of citizens and do something - for them,
good, bad or indifferent." Such legisla
tion as that proposed in this bill,
was not new. From time immemorial
there had been mountebank statesmen
who believed or made the people believe
they could do nothing for them by legis
lation, which would stop the working of
this law, or accelerate the working of
that law. The speaker then proceeded
to review historical instances of this
class of legislation and followed that
with an argument against the constitu
tionality of the bUl. Overproduction,
owing to the introduction of destructive
competition by machinery, he said, was
largely responsible for the reduction of
prices to the farmer. "Is he any more
entitled to be protected by the Govern
ment against competition than the law
yer? he asked.
Mr. Walker, Kepublican, of Massachu
setts, followed Mr. Goldzier, also in appo
sition to the Mill. In every respect save
one, he said, the bill was to be con
demned. Its purpose to restrain or pre
vent wrong doing could not be criticized,
but in every other respect it was open to
criticism.
The next Bpeaker was Mr. Talbert,
Democrat, of South Carolina, who advo
cated the bill as a measure of relief for
the farmer. That class had been dis
criminated against in Congress for many
years, but they were opening their eyes
to the advantage of being represented on
the floor, and the speaker warned his
hearers that if they did not now harken
to the demand of the farmers there would
soon be enough of their representatives
here to compel a hearing. Mr. Talbert
interspersed his remarks with several
stories to illustrate his points. The speaker
said he was a member of the t armers
Alliance and he stood in his place as a rep
resentative of that organization with no
blush of shame mantbng his cheek at
the avowal, and he expressed the ODinion
that prosperity would not return to this
country until the demands of the Alii
ance platform were enacted into law.
The unoccupied portion of Mr. Tal-
berfs hour was taken by Mr. Richard
son, Utmocrat, or Juicnigan, who spoke
in favor of the bill.
Mr. Harter followed in a speech against
the passage ot the bill. He attacked it
from the standpoint of its prcotical effect
upon the revenues of the Government.
Mr. Harter argued that the option market
was the highest market, the Chicago
price of wheat being six or seven cents
higher than the world's parity. It was
to preserve thee markets to the farmer,
and prevent the stigma of the passage of
the bill irom attaching itself to lien.
Hatch that he opposed the bill. Should
those markets ba destroyed, said Mr.
Harter, Gen. Hatch would not b a wel
come guest at any county fair in the
United States. 1 want the farmers, when
he goes among them to cry "Hail Hatch"
not "Damn liatch. x am the best friend
Gen. Hatch has on the floor of the House.
Mr. Harter referred to Mr. Sibley's speech
yesterday and denominated him as "the
chaplain of the new Democracy address
inK the camp meeting," and he told Mr
Pence, in answer to a question, that Mr.
Sibley was a batter authority on the
Bible than he was on these matters.
Addressing himself to the Southern Rep
resentatives, Mr. Harter asked them how
thev could iustify themselves in advo
cating this bill, which violated every
principle of constitutional legislation.
But I never supposed that you would
come back here like whipped men and
support tha very principles which you
fought so gallantly and so long to crush
out. Mr. IJarter closed with a presenta
tion of the letter he had written to the
chairman of a meeting held to sympa
thize with the Coxey movement, in
which he crave his views on the question
At 5:10 o'clock the committee rose and
the House adjourned.

THE SUGAR TRUST
INVESTIGATION DRAWING
TO A FINAL CLOSB.
AH the Senators Have Been Examined
But a .Pew Who Are Absent
From 'the City Senator Ban.'
som Blameless in the Sight
of the Committee Sena
tor Qaay Admits Hav
ing Speculated.
Washington, June 20. The prospects
are that there will be no -further testi
mony heard before the Sugar trust in
vestigating committee, except that of
the few Senators whose absence from
Washington prevented their answering
to the "drae net" Question's. One bv
one, as these Senators return to the city,
they will be examined. The committee
has heard-a large number of witnesses,
including newspaper men, officers of the
American Sugiti'ILtflniirg company aad
stock brokers and all but about half a
dozen members of the Senate. The re
sult is summed up in this way: Several
Senators have told of talks they . had
with President Havemeyer, Secretary
Searles, of the American Sugar Refining
company, and with II. L. Terrell, whose
status ,was'not clearly -established, but
there has been no direct evidence of any
formal conference between the sugar
men and Senators. The allegations that
Senator Brice had speculated in
sugar stock and had been- thus
improperly influenced in helping the
refining interest, were not supported
hy the evidence. Those allegations were
contradicted by the testimony of Senator
tsrice nimseir, corroborated by Broker
E. K. Chapman. While the committee
ascertained that the Sugar trust had con
tributed to the Democratic and the Re
publican parties in State campaigns, it
failed to secure any evidence showing
that contributions were made to either
party in National elections. - Messrs.
Havemeyer and Searles denied that such
. contributions had been made, and Sena
tor trorman, a member or the Demo
cratic National committee and the man
ager of the National campaign in 1884,
and several other Senators said they had
never heard ot any.
benator Uuay, told the committee
point blank, that he had speculated in
sugar prior to the time the Tariff bill
came to the Senate and that he had a
perfect right to do so. Senator McPher
son said he had inadvertently become
involved in sugar speculation during the
pendency of the bill through the blunder
of a servant in sending a telegram direct
ing the purchase of sugar &tock after he
had decided that it would be improper
for him to buy any. It was also shown
that the son and clerk of Senator Ran-
som and the messenger to the Senator 's
committee had placed small bets on 6ugar
without General Ransomfe knowledge.
Senator Ransom's testimony was suffi
cient to show that he was blameless in
the matter and the committee will so re
port.
lo-day Senators Gray and Lindsav.the
Democratic members of the investiga
tion committee, have been busy arrang
ing the case of Havemeyer and Searles,
which will be reported to the Vice Presi
dent for certification to the district at
torney because of their refusal to atkswer
questions.
So far the committee has reported, and
the Vice President has certified, three
recalcitrant witnesses. Correspondents
Shriver and Edwards and Stock Broker
Chapman. ' Other witnesses who refused
to answer questions were Havemeyer,
Starles, Macartney, a stock broker, and
b isher, a telegraph operator. The latter
will not be certified for criminal prosecu
tion. Mitchell Ore appeared before the
committee and answered the "drag net"
nuestions in the negative. The expected
formal indictments of the ntwpaptr
correspondents, Shriver and Edwards,
were not handed into court to-day by the
grand jury, 'ihe reason, as given at the
district attorney's office, is that no simi
lar cases are on record and the office, in
the absence of precedent, is exercising
great care in framing indictments that
will hold water.
Figures obtained from the books of
the Treasury makes it possible to accu
rately approximate the receipts and ex
penditures of the . Government for the
present fiscal year, which is now only
ten days distant. So lar, for two-thirds
of this month, customs receipts have
been $5,500,000 indicating a total for the
month from this source ot SD,000,OuO
Internal revenue receipts $8,000,000,
indicating: a total of 12.000,000; miscel
laneous receipts $2,000,000, indicating a
total of $2,000,000 and making the ag
gregate Government receipts for the
fiscal year $294,000,000. The expendi
tures so far .for - this month have been
$19,500,000, making the aggregate for
the year to June 80, the next ten days
being omitted, $337,000,000 or an excess
for the fiscal year of $78,000,000. Th
internal revenue receipts for the hrst
eleven months of the fiscal year show a
decrease from last year for the same
time of $14,351,000.
Secretary Carlisle' and party left here
at 5 o clock this afternoon on the revenue

that $2,250,000 in gold was withdrawn

JfKW York, June 20. If the bulla on
stocks looked for any improvement in
business because of the action of the bank
president yesterday they were woefully
disappointed, for trading at times to-day
approached stagnation, and as for prices
the general run of th4 usually active is
sues did not vary as rpuch as a point. At
the opening the feeling, if anything, was
a little more bearish, the engagement of
$2,250,000 gold for export to Europe to
morrow and the likelihood of shipments
reaching $6,000,000 for the week exert
ing an unfavorable influence. The liqui
dation in the bankrupt stocks also con
tinued and this helped the bears. So far
as the gold shipments are con
cerned, it is announced that the
metal withdrawn from the . sub
Treasury to-day will be made good by the
banks. American sugar was most promi
nent in the early dealings, falling from
'ff to vii, ihe selling was partly due to
rumors that the discriminating duty of
1-10 per cent., as recommended by the
Finance committee; would be wiped out
later on. The vote in the. Senate to-day
on sugar matters, however, does not
bear this out. Whiskey was weak, de
clining 1 per cent, to 23J. Chicago Gas
receded 1 to 78i on the delay in declaring
the diyidend, which was expected to
day. Railway stocks were weaker, es
pecially, for the bankrupt stocks, Erie
selling down to 12 and Northern Pacific
preferred to 13f. In the after
noon trading tha market was some
what firmer, but the changes out
side of Manhattan were slight. This
stock jumped from 114J"to 118 to 116.
The rise was due to a decision by
Judge Ingraham permitting the con
struction of a third track on Ninth
avenue. Union Pacific recovered to 10$,
Chicago Gas to 79i Lake Shore ro3e to
VS'61 and Northern Pacific, preferred, to
14-k In the active stocks Oregon Rail
way and Navigation broke 2 to 10, Cen
tral Pacific 2 to 11. Speculation left
off about firm. Net changes for the day
show losses of i to per cent, outside of
St. Paul, Cordage, Lead, Union Pocific
and Lake Shore, which gained i to per
cent. The bond market was firm. Sales
listed stocks, 72,000 shares; unlisted, 32,
000. Chicago, June 20. Yesterday's de
cline in wheat prices in this market did
not seem to affect foreign markets and
the failure of Liverpool to respond to
that decline was perhaps the all-impor
tant argument in favor of higher prices
here to-day. The opening was buoyant,
and the first hours trading was of a very
exciting character. The firmness re
ceived additional , vigor from reports of
damaged crops in the spring wheat re
gion, ihe Government s weekly weather
ud crop bulletin reported small gains
permanently injured by the iate
drought, while private dispatches
fully confirmed the statement and
in many instances added color to the re
port. The extraordinary strength of
oats imparted some of its vivacity to
wheat. The acti vity , after the first hour,
Buffered some,abatement,but the strength
was lasting, and the close, although at
some decession irom tne outside, was
with a full measure of firmness. July
wheat opened 59 to 59 Ic. sold between
60 and 59c, closing at 60c, a net gain of
c for the day. Cash wheat was quotably
lc per bushel higher Jth an yesterday,
Corn obtained its strength from its en
vironments to-day, wheat was strong and
oati were excited and the influence of
the two was calculated to help corn.
The cash demand was also good and
therefore exerted a beneficial effort on
the futures. July 41to.41fc, sold be
tween 42f and 41c, closing at 42ic, a net
gain of $c. Cash corn was 1 to lie per
bushel higher.
The oafe; market furnished the sensa
tion of the floor to-day, June at one time
being quoted 3c higher than yesterday's
close and July 4ic higher than the last
figures of that day. Sample oats were
up 8 to 5 cents from yesterday, a larger
advance than ever Known oerore outside
of a manipulated market.
The distant deliveries were higher in
sympathy with the nearer options, but
the advance was not as great. A practi
cal illustration of the incorrectness of
the assertion made by supporters of the
anti option bill that the short sellers de
presses price3 was furnished by the
action of that gentleman to-day. He
pushed values higher so quickly that it
was with difficulty that he could keep
the pace. June closed 3o higher than
yf sterday and July 3Jc higher. Septem
ber showed a gain of lie.
Tnere wa3 very little yitality to either
the trade or prices of product to-day.
An excess of 5,000 hogs over the estima
ted number m tne run at the yards and
a decline in value for the animal caused
a weak start. Near the close packers
were good sellers and prices eased off,
c'.o-ing 17c under yesterday for July
pork, 5c lower for July lard and 7c
lowi-r for July ribs. There was a mod
erately goxl cash demand.

Governor Carr to-day received a most
pleasant letter from Rev. C. A. Tron of
Waldensian colony in Burke county. Mr.
Tron says that Rev. H. Viray, the pastor,
has gone to San Francisco and will be
succeeded by Rev. B. Sonlier. The lat
ter is on the ocean, with his young bride,
on his way here. There are now fifty-
families at Yaldese. They have had a
hard time, poor crops last year and this
year, the great spring frost and the
drought. If this experiment is a success,
many Waldenses and Piedmontese will
follow-them here, says Mr. Tron. The
Waldenses at the colony need cattle;
they also need good farming implements.
But more then all they need good land.
Many persons will ask why they settled
or were settled on such unfertile sour
That question your correspondent cannot
answer. They should have bad the yery
best land. Mr. Tron says there surely
must be good lands in this great State.
He appears to want the colonists on good
lands and close together, not widely
scattered.

WORTH LOOKING INTO.
At no previous time in the history of American retailing have Dry Goods been
sold at as low prices as now. The qualities,
are away down to a point not dreamed of by the buyer of a couple of years ago.
Of course, all dealers cannot meet this existing demand for low prices. It is the
opportunity of the resourceful merchant. Capital to buy in quantities and capacity
to handle goods to dispose of them in quantities, allow ua to name prices that- pos
sess a marvellous fascination for the wisely economical. Do we speak the truth ?
Our crowded counters bear daily testimony. ,.
