Senator Hill Stirs Up Senator Vest's Gall aud Senators , Harris and , McLiaurin Have a TiltSena- '" , tor Hill's Numerous Amend- ments to the Income Tax Schedule Good Progress Made. SENATE. Washington, June 26. At 10:30 o'clock the Tariff bill was laid before the Senate, the pending question being on the income tax provisions. T " Senator Hill withdrew an amendment which he had offered before the adjourn ment on Saturday, to strike out the ex emption from taxation of the income of United States bonds so exempted by the law of their issuance and he suggested to make the clause read, "the principal and interest of which are, by -the law of t-ieir issuance," etcrVXhat suggestion was accepted by Senator Vest on the part of the Finance committee, and the clause was so modified. Theh Senator Hill stated that the rea son why he had offered his amendment last Saturday ; (which he now admitted should not be "agreed to) was to call to the attention of the people the fact that $636,000,000 of property, were bv this clause taken out of the taxable property 01 me country, lie men oliered an amendment to include within the ex emption the bonds of ' State, county, municipality and town; and he made an argument in support of that amendment. Senator Vest opposed the amendment and a number of Senators had some thing to say upon the subject. Senators Sherman, Teller, Piatt, and other Repub licans favored the amendment. ' Whin it came to a vote it was rejected yeas, 25; nays, 30. All the Republicans voted for it as well as three Democrats Sena tors Gray, Hill and Pugh. Then Senator Hill moved an amend ment restricting the exemption to State bonds (not county or municipal). - In ah argument which he made in support of it he made a disparaging allusion to the State of Missouri, in connection with the tax on'whiskey, and this was resented angrily by Senator Vest, who spoke of the "instrumentalities of the slums of New York" and offered, after tariff legis lation was disposed of, to pay his share of the expenses of "hiring a hall" to dis cuss the question with the Senator from Hew York, if ne desired it. Some further sharp personalities-- passed between - Senators Hill and Vest and then Senator Morgan took the floor; He said that as he had not been able to express his view on the question by bis vote, he being paired, he felt bound to oppose the exercise by the Government of the United States of the power of taxation on the part of any State. The question, he said, involved the constitu tional authority of the Government of the United States, and of the States res pectively and their proper balance in tbe system of government. He protested against the proposed invasion of the rights of Alabama. He could not sub scribe to the doctrine that the Govern ment of the United States can tax the bonds of Alabama, directly or indirectly, when they were issued as instrumentali tins of the State Government of t Ala bama. The argument in support of Senator Hill's amendment was continued by Sen ators Gray, Pugh, Caffery, Hoar, Haw ley, and against it by Senators Lindsay and George. The vote was taken and the amend mentwas rejected yeas, 27; nays, SO. Four Democratic Senators, Caffery, Gray, Hill and Pugh, voted for the amendment. The Populist Senators, Allen and Peffer, voted against .it. Senator Hill called attention to the fact that the bill put a tax on the per sonal property acquired by inheritance, while it did not put a tax upon, the real estate acquired by inheritance, and he called upon Senator Vest for an expla nation of that in equality. Senator Vest's answer was that if the bill ex empted the rents of such real estate, the argument of the Senator from New York would be pertinent and proper, but that was not the case. Senator Hill then moved to strike out of section 55 the words "money and the value of all personal property acquired by gift or inheritance.". rejected. Senator JMCUaurm uwveu wj icuuusmci the vote wnerepy, some aays ago, me salaries of the President of f the United States and of United States judges were pwmnt from the income tax. Senator Hill inquired whether Senator McLaurin had voted in the affirmative on those amend ments. Senator McLaurin said that ne naa not; hnt that, as the vote had not been tanen by yeas and nays, he understood that the rule did not apply which limits motions of reconsideration to those who had voted in the affirmative. He added that he made the motion for reasons which he did not deem necessary to give. Senator Harris, in parliamentary charge of the bill, intimated that the mo tion to fro back and reconsider a matter already disposed of was not in keeping with the spirit, intern ana purpose 01 wjw unanimous consent unaer wnicu ui Senate was acting. . Senator McLaurin suggested, m - a rather sarcastic spirit, that the Senator from Tennessee might have expressed his idea "without taking up so much time:" and he said that ne witnorew nis motion for the present. This remark proved to oe ratner irritat ing to Senator Harris, who said that he had given his understanding of the un animous consent agreement as briefly as he knew how to, and that he was "a lit tie surprised at the tone qi tne senator from Mississippi.". Senator Mclaurin Ana x am sup- prised at the tone of the senator irom Tennessee. . . - ; - Senator Harris, denantiy xne .sen ator can take the tone and the intent or the Senator from Tennessee as ne chooses. . - Senator McLaurin So I will; and there the little disagreement stopped. Senator Hill offered another amend ment in reference to the tax on inheri tances and it was rejected yeas, 19; nays, 26. , , ' All the committee amendments, to sec tion 55 were then agreed to without di vision, j 11 Section 56 was then taken up and all the committee amendments, pi incipaUy of a verbal character, were agreed to. bo also as to section 57 and 58. Sections 59, 60 and 61 were, on motion of the Finance committee, struck out and substitutes for them were agreed to. They relate to the income tax of banks, insurance companies and other corpora tions, and provide that the tax shall be levied on the net profits or income, above h actual oneratine and business ex penses, losses and interest on bonded and other indebtedness of those corporations.

He offered lie amendment so. as to exempt small Shareholders "whose"-moome was not large enough to subject them to an in come tax, from having to pay a tax tipon their dividends from these corpora tions. He modified his amendment by exempting corporations having a bona fide paid up capital not exceeding $100, 000.

On' motion of Mr. Snodgrass, the House bill was passed, extending the time for beginning the construction of bridges across Hiwasse, Tenneessee,' and ' Clinch rivers in the State of Tennesseee, autho rized by an act of 1883. The House then took up and finally disposed of the General Deficiency Ap propriation bill for the year ending June 30, 1894. Most of the session was spent in con sideration of the question of paying the judgements rendered by the Court of Claims in the matter of claims on ac count of Indian depredations. It was agreed, as a result of three hours discus sion, to appropriate $100,000 toward the payment of the judgments, which ag gregate $514,000 The changes made in the bill added something over $100,000 to the total of appropriations carried by it, making it in roundnumbers $5,000,000. By consent, Mr. Johnson, Republican, of North Dakota, was given twenty minutes in which to make a speech re specting the recent strike on the Great Northern railroad, to show that the ju dicial and military arms of the Govern ment were used to aid the railroad com pany in defeating the strike. He said James J. Hill, president of the road,gaye $50,000 to the Democratic campaign fund in 1892, at a time when W. C. Whitney said: "Foes were plenty and friends were few;" and he intimated that the strong arm of the Government had been exerted in his behalf as a consequence thereof. At 5:10 o'clock the House adjourned. RIOTING LEGISLATORS. A Caucns of French Senators and Deputies Breaks Up in a How A Knock-Down and Drag-Oat Fight. Paris, June 26. A meeting of Repub lican members of the Senate and Cham ber of Deputies was held this afternoon, to decide upon a candidate for President to be voted for at Versailles to-morrow. The proceedings were characterized throughout by an indescribable noise and continuous, brawling. . Deputies and Senators shouted at the tops of their voices and over one anothers' heads. Some demanded a-vote without debate, Blows were exchanged by several mem bers, and inkstands were thrown about freely. Deputy Marc Sauzet tried to stand upon a table and was pulled forcibly to the floor by M. Berteaux. Another member who tried to hide the ballot box was struck and thrown down. Finally some of the calmer members proposed a recess and a motion to ad journ was carried. A Large number re mained m the hall, however, and after a short period of quiet, Senator de Verni nac, who presided, ; asked whether, the meeting desired to vote. - The tumult was renewed immediately, and as it was impossible to restore order, M. de Verni nac declared the meeting closed and left the tribune. . Free fighting ensued for fullyaquarter of an hour. Eventually the had was cleared. The conflict was provoked by the Socialists and the extreme Radicals, in order to prevent a decisive vote. ,. During the fighting Deputy Humbert. Socialist, seized the ballot box, in which a vote was being taken, and, breaking it ud threw the pieces in the faces of his opponents, record of Under the circumstances a the case was considered worthless. Two hundred Republicans met subse quently in the committee rqom. Resolu tions were adopted expressing the sor row of the moderate members of the party that the plenary assembly had been prevented irom acconipusning its pur pose by such tumultuous scenes, and ac cusing the Socialists 6i purposely ob structing the proceedings. It was de cided that the only resource was to go to Versailles without preparatory decisions as to the Presidency, and that this course was likely to insure the election of Casi-mir-Perier. The Socialist deputies had delegated several deputies to attend the plenary meeting and act in concert with 'th ad vanced Republican Senators in the choice of a candidate who would not combat tbe Socialists. Later in the day the three Republican Senatorial groups, the Centre, the Left Republican, and the Unionist Republi can, met to choose a candidate . for the presidency, A ballot was taken with this result: Casimir-Perier, 144; Dupuy, 15, and a number of scattering votes. No representatives of these groups attended the plenary meeting. Deputy Pelletan, Radical, complains that he was stfuck in the face with an inkstand during the tumult in the plenary meeting. Deputy Sauzet, who was pulled off the table during the tumult, has challenged M. " Berteaux to a duel. The seconds named by Sauzet have declined to act. Anti-Italian Itiots. Lyons, June 26. Anti-Italian demon strations were kept up throughout the night, in spite of the efforts of the police and military to prevent them. Several Italian shops and dwellipgs were at tacked and wrecked during the night and all Italians that came . in the way of the mob were beaten or otherwise maltreated. .

"! Chicago, June 26. The boycott de. clared against the ! Pullman Palace7 Car company by the American Railway union went into effect at 12 o'clock to-day The order ia supposed to include every rail road in the United States which handles Pullman cars - and, as declared by the union officials, every road which insists upon running the sleepers will be sub jected to a strike if necessary. - "Asa result of the boycott all of the switchmen in the freight yards in the 1 t A- J- - 4- J 1 A A ja DgrjSdeJjjs tlie yards. -The order to strike was issued this afternoon but not observed until late and after: it be came" apparent the Illinois Central offi cials were deterinined k to run the Pul mar carsi: I " w S: v ; r ' In addition to the freight switchmen, it -j is expected that the -men working in the upper yards handling the passenger trains will go out to-morrow marning. The strike was sudden and so far is effect ive, taking the officials by surprise and leaving the work in the yards here in bad shape. When the boycott order became effects ive this noon it marked the beginning of what is expected to be the greatest struggle between capital and labor ever inaugurated in the United States. It is a battle in which an effort will be made to unite all railroad employes in the country in one common effort to secure better wages, and while the boycott is ostensibly declared as a demonstration of sympathy in behalf of the strikers in the Pullman shops, it is, in reality, a life and death struggle between the greatest and most powerful railroad labor organi zation and the entire railroad capital. Success in the Pullman bojeott means the permanent success of the one organi zation through which it is sought to unite all employes of railroads. About 400 men are included in the Freight Switchmen's union, and when the passenger switchmen go out it will swell the number to about 500. The engineers and trainmen received orders from their chiefs to-day not to take part in the boycott or assist the union men in any way and the railroad company relied on this to a great extent in getting out their trains. Up to late to-night no other orders for strike were issued, but to-morrow it is understood that all American Railway union men on the entire Illinois Central system will be called out unless the officials consent to join in the Pullman boycott. ; On the other roads no trouble was had in running out trains. It is evidently the intention of the union officials to allow the Pullman cars to be carried out of Chicago but . to prevent them re turning. Vice President Hanrahan, of the Illi nois Central -said to-night: "The freight switchmen could not have chosen a bet ter time to strike as far as we are con cerned. We are not moving much freight now or passengers." A mass meeting of about 1,000 railroad men, train men and employes of the roads entering the city from the South side was held this evening. President Debs, of the American Railway union and Vice President Howard, of the same order, addressed the gathering. The meetings which was held for the purpose of strengthening the organization of the American Railway union on all lines was very enthusiastic. At St. Paul the first serious effect of the American Railway union's attempt to boycott the Pullman company wfB felt at noon when all car cleaners, ma chinists and carpenters employed on Pullman cars in the North ern -Pacific yards deserted their places. At the " Gomo shops all the painters and carpenters repairing Pull man coaches laid down hammers and brushes and went quietly to their homes. At 4:15 o'clock p. m. when the Portland express was made up American Rail way union men attempted to get the train crew to desert their places. Several officers of the Northern Pacific company were summoned to the depot and after a plea that it would be unjust to through passengers to delay them, the men- con sented to move the trains, leaving the depot seventeen minutes late. - ( At Cincinnati there was no attempt to tie np the Pullman cars. During the day Judge Win. Taft, of the United States court, issued a. call for United States deputy marshals of Kentucky at Louisville, Jackson, Morebead, Mt. Ster ling, Pineville, and Pittsburg, to - report at the Government building in Coving ton to await orders. Judge Taft's action is to protect property of the Cincinnati Southern railway, which is in control of the United States Government. The marshal was also instructed to swear in private citizens as marshals, should the emergency arise and the railroad prop erty be seriously threatened at Ludlow, or other points. And, finally, . if neces earv. the United States troops will be called out. The threatened strike of employes of the Pullman Palace Car company, which was ordered for to-day had no effect on the company sin Kansas City. At the office of the district superintendent of the Pullman company it was said that no 6ign of a strike of any kind had been seen.' The American Railway union is not strong there. : Chicago. June 26. The vestibuled train on the Illinois Central railway left for New Orleans at 1:35 o clock p. m to-day, on schedule time, without any interference on the part of the mem? hers of the American Railway union or,- their sympathizers All the coaches were chained, locked and sealed, the train consisting of three Pull man coaches, besides the baggage car and engine. On the platforms pf each coach stood detectives of the railroad, prepared to resist any attempt-which might be made to : cut tbe Pullman cars, One hundred members of the Railway union were at the Twelfth street depot where the train was made up, but there was not the slightest demonstration. The 2 o'clock train on the same road having one Pullman coach attached.also left on tame witnouf any interrerence. The Pullman car was fastened to the train in the same manner and the com pany will have extra guards at all the stations on the way, Highest of all in Leavening Power. J 1 v COMMERCIAL NEWS. Stocks and Bonds in . New York Grain and Provision Markets in Chicago .Nkw York, June 26. There was a change for the better in stock circles to day, the result of the publication of President Cleveland's views on the finan cial situation. While the President's views met with ' approval, the manage ment of the Treasury Department, it is proper to add, in order' to " perfect the record of the day, is the subject of ad verse criticism. The first effect of the publication ot the President's interview was witnessed in the cessation- of foreign selling of American securities, which has been a prominent characteristic of the past week's operations. In fact, Eu ropean traders turned up as buyers of their specialties, taking about 10,000 shares . of ' St. Paul ,i and - other international favorites. This buy ing, as well as a little for local account, led to a rise in the early dealings of i to If per cent. General JUectnc, Krie, the Grangers, -Louisville and' Nashville, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and West ern Union scored the largest gains. J.Pier pont Morgan's statement that the situa tion abroad cad unprovfd and that the foreigners were simply waiting for a bet ter condition ot all airs nere before branching out, was not without its influence. In the afternoon Missouri Pacific,. Cordage, General Electric, all ran ' "off H to f per cent., but the general market was firm. Business was only light. While the feel ing of the moment is bullish, operators are not disposed to extend their lines until tariff matters are disposed of. Speculation closed firm and J to If per cent, higher, the latter in Lake Shore, which rose to 133 on light transactions. Colorado Coal and Iron Developments sold down to 5 against 13, the last re ported, sales. .The bond market was firmer. Sales of listed stocks aggregated 89,000 shares; unlisted 13,000. Chicago, June 26. At the openmc: of the grain market to-day wheat was firm and a shade higher at Chicago but weak and ic lower at New, York. The irregu larity was ascribed to the fact that the latter was following Liverpool, where a decline of id had taken place, while this market was influenced more by conti nental advices than by those from the United Kingdom. It did not take long for matters to straigten out, however, a decline taking place here that soon nar rowed the spread. During the rest of the session there was free selling of long wheat and Pardridge signalized his re turn from a short absence by putting out fair line of short stun. Taken alto gether, this v was a narrow trade with much susceptibility on the part of prices to either buying or selling:, September. which i4 now the active option, opened at 62 to 63 ic, sold between t2c and 61fc, closing at the inside, a net loss of f to ic from yesterday. Cash wheat was in good demand. Corn was purely a local scalping mar ket to day. Holders of privileges kept prices from stray mg beyend the bound aries mar xed out by them, jury corn opened at 404c, sold between 41c and 404c, closing where it started, a net loss of ic for the day. Cash corn was in good demand, holders asking higher prices. Oats proved to be the strongest article on tne noor to-day, notwithstand ing a weak opening, and in the first half hour, there was lalk of damage from a wet harvest, and July shorts were a lit tle bit worried, tearing that tne rains would restrict receipts. June closed lc higher than yesterday and July c higher. Cash oats were steady. Provisions were easy. They were also. dull. Some people gave the Pullman boycott as an excuse for the lack of strength. Cheaper hogs contributed their share to the softness of prices. The range of prices were exceedingly narrow. July pork closed 2ic lower than yesterday, July lard 21 to 5c lower, and July ribs 2ic lower. Very little business was done in the cash product. The Sun's Cotton Review. New York, June 26. The Sun's cot ton review says: Cotton advanced 1 to 2 points in some cases, but lost this and declined 4 to 5 points, closing fairly steady, witn sales of oa.ouu bales. Liver pool was quiet and unchanged. Spot sales were 8,000 bales at unchanged prices. In Manchester yarns were steady, cloths dull.' Port receipts were 2,001 bales, against 1,947 this day last week, and 2,904 last year, thus far this week, 7,499, against 5,084 thus far last week. Spot cotton was steady and unchanged. Sales were 813 bales for spinning. South ern spot markets were quiet and un changed, mere were no exports irom the ports. One firm said: "A bale of new cotton expected at Houston to-mor row from Duval county, Texas, caused selling here, breaking to 5 points below yesterday from which there was a slight recovery, and this, with further rams in the South, where moat needed, and gen eral crop conditions being favorable, should cause Liverpool to-morrow to be lower. In . the event, however, of their not declining in consequence of this the sellers of to day may be buyers to-mor row." To-day's features were: Copious rains in the Atlantic States and else where, rather discouraging market ad vices from Liverpool, Manchester and the South, and the fact that a 1 ale of new. crop cotton will be received at Hous ton to-morrow from Duval county, Texas, caused a decline on light trading. The report of 1 a moderate failure in Havre also contributed to the depression, To-morrow, too. is notice day. Case -Ball. Savannah. June 26. Savannah, 15; Atlanta, 7.
