House Democrats In Oauoue on the Tariff Situation.

MR. BYNUM PRESENTS RESOLUTIONS.

They Urge Haste In Reaching an A|NC' meat, nut Are Withdrawn, the Caucus Kofutiof to Interfere with the

Conferr«es.

MANY SPEECHES MADE.

WASHINGTON,

Aug. 8.— Opinions vary

as to the effect of the house caucus upon the tariff situation. The cauous itself was a quiet affair. Resolutions were offered, and after a debate in whioh Mr. Bynum (Ind.), Mr. Livingston (Ga.), Mr. Wilson (La.), Mr. Boatner (W. Va.) and Speaker Crisp took part they were all withdrawn. The resolution Introduced by Mr. Bynum on behalf of those who had called the oauous was rather mild iu its terms, merely urging speedy aotion on the part of the oonferrees. Nobody took offense at it, and the dlsoussion which followed was entirely goodnatured, though earnest. Mr. Bynum, In his resolution suggested another cauous to be held on Friday, to which the dumocratio senators were to be Invited, but the proposition was finally withdrawn with the balance of the resolutions. Mr. Livingston on behalf of those members who had opposed the oalling of a oauous wapted to have a resolution adopted expressing the confidence of the house in its conferrees. By advlae of Speaker Crisp this, too, was withdrawn, and after Mr. Crisp had made a most eloquent and persuasive speech, conciliatory throughout, the caucus adjourned without aotion.

Bynum's Resolutions.

When the roll was cilled it showed 100 members present. Mr. Bynum presented a set of resolutions declaring that the commercial Interests of the country were being held In suspense awaiting the settlement of the tariff questipn, and since it is currently believed that the conferrees are unable to agree upon satisfactory legislation, it was the senso of the caucus that the democratic conferrees of the house and senate should meet in a spirit of liberality to the end that the two houses by mutual concessions may agree upon a measure whioh will meet with the approval of each. The resolutions also provided that the "oauous stand adjourned until So'olock p. m. Friday, the 10th last., at which time, in case no agreement has been reached, It shall reconvene to take such further aotion in the premises as it may deem neoessary and appropriate, and the chairman of the house caucus is hereby authorised and dlreoted to invite the demooratlo senators to meet with the democrats of the house at that time in Joint caucus."

Senate UIU Better Than None. In his explanatory statement, which was brief, Mr. Bynum said that although there had been a clamor from a part of the press for the house bill, he believed that the overwhelming sentiment of the oountry was for the best possible bill that oould be agreed upon. 1'or himself he preferred the senate bill to no bill, and as he Interpreted the wishes of the party it was for a tariff bill and prompt action. He had no sympathy with the stand taken by some members that it would be better to retain the McKInley law than substitute the senate bill for it.

Chairman Wilson Speaks.

Chairman Wilson, of the ways and means committee, spoke of the hard work which the house conferrees had done and referred rather reproachfully to the criticisms which had been passed upon them by some of the democratic members of the house. Re characterized the movement which resulted in the caucus as an attempt to undermine the. house conferrees and to subject them to a fire from the rear. He was not disposed to criticise his fello\v members who had become impatient at the delay, but he thought that good faith and prudence should have prevented so ill-advised action. The house bill seemed to be acceptable to the country, while the senate bill did not. Ue appreciated the necessity for the party in power to pass a tariff bill.

The democracy had been entrusted with the administration of the government for that purpose, but the necessity was equally imperative that the bill agreed upon should be essentially a measure of tariff reform, one that would be In fulfillment of partipledges. not one that would put the party on the defensive. He believed that more than a month might be well spent toward that end. He believed that If the house conferrees did their duty and the house did Its duty a bill honorable for the house and senate and acceptable to the people would be the result. Such a result would not be brought about any aotion that would notify the senate that If it would hold out to a given date the house would Instruct Its oonferrees to recede. If the house democrats oould propose any plan likely to sustain the house bill its conferrees would welcome It.

Wanted a Vote of Confidence. Mr. Livingston (Ga. 1 proposed a substitute for the Bynum resolution expressing the confidence of the house in its conferrees and leaving the matter entirely in their hands.

Then followed a discussion of the position held by the senate and the prospects of agreement.

Mr. Boatner (La.) argued that speedy action was necessary that It was plain the Benate would not yield and proceeded to pay a high tribute to Senator Mills as a pioneer In tariff reform and said that this oonsplouous tariff reformer had personally assured Him that it was the senate bill or nothing, and unless the house soon reoognized this all tariff legislation would fail.

Mr. Cooper (Ind.) said senators around Senator Mills had been trying to create the Impression that nothing but the senate bill oould pass, and this might have had its effect on Senator

THE CRAWFORDSYILLE JOURNAL.

Mills. These claims were being made by the senators under oover. Now that the Amerioan people had been Informed of the attitude of these senators they would hare surrendered already If (be oaucus movement had not given them hope that the house was weakening.

Crisp Wants Pledges Redeemed. Something of a sensation was stirred by the forging to the front of Spoakor Crisp when the general debate was well under way. The speech of the speaker was temperate but very forcible, and tte logic was so Irresistible that at Its conclusion Mr. Bvnum, the mover of the resolution, withdrew his motion. The speaker declared that It was and should be the purpose of the democrats of the house as democrats to redeem the pledges they had made to the people. The tariff bill had gone to oonferenoe to be met with the most determined opposition from the senate.

He pointed out the workings of oonferenoes, long struggles wliloh sometimes took place over disputed points, and illustrated it with referenoe to appropriation bills whioh had been again and again sent to oonferenoe, the house refusing to yield to the demands of the senate, the senate protesting that it never would oonsent, but finally consenting.

He depreoated the passage of any resolution at this time. The senate had not withdrawn Its support from the senate oonferrees and the house should stand by Its representatives. No vote of oonfldenoe was needed, while on the other hand the passage of Mr. Bynum's resolution would be a virtual surrender. He gave it as his opinion that the conferrees oould reaoh an agreement within a couple of weeks at most, but they should not be harassed by a '"back fire" from their own house. The house should be loyal to Itself and its representatives.

Would Be an Abandonment. The proposition for a joint cauous of the democrats of the house and senate in case no agreement was reached, made by Mr. Bynum, the speaker characterized as an abandonment. Pass a resolution to that effeot, he said, and serve a notice on the senate that you want to meet with them. If you do that, said he, you might as well hold the joint oauouB to-morrow. The speaker's speech was reoeived with approval, and in conolusion he suggested that the cauous should adjourn.

Resolutions Wlthdrawu.

Mr. Bynum evidently realized that the oauous had slipped out of his hands. He therefore suggested that he would be glad to withdraw his resolution if Mr. Wilson would rise and say that an agreement was in sight. He paused for a reply. Mr. Wilson made no move. He gave Uo apparent recognition to Mr. Bynum.

The action of the ohalrman exolted no little oomment, as It was taken to mean a declination to have any controversy with Mr. Bynum. Inquiries were made regarding the status of negotiations upon sugar, ooal and Iron, but no definite Information was forthcoming. Speaker Crisp said that the senate bill was more highly protective in most of Its sohedales than the house bill, and that there were many points of difference to be settled and intimated that they were being settled, but that was as much enlightenment as the inquiring democrats obtained. Finally Mr. Bynum withdrew his resolution, explaining that he was satisfied with the representations made, and on motion of Speaker Crisp the caucus adjourned.

ALABAMA'S ELECTION.

Democrats Claim the State by 20,000 Majority. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 8.—The returns of the election of Monday are still coming in, and but little more can be made out than that William C. Oates, for fourteen years member of congress from Alabama, probably has been elected governor by about 20,000 majority. The Kolb leaders do not give up the race, however, and olaim to have carried forty-flve out of the sixty counties aud eleoted Kolb by about 18,000 majority. The official voted is to be counted Saturday and the exact returns will then be known. The Kolbites are confident, and deolare that although considerable fraud was committed against them they have elected Ivolb, and ho. will be seated if they have to do so with Winchesters and pistols. The entire state democratic ticket was victorious and the legislature is undoubtedly democratic by a safe majority, ranging In the house from six to fifteen members, while the democrats have two-thirds of the senate.

CORN'S BIO JUMP.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.—There was a panic In tb$ corn pit on the board of trade Tuesday morning. A week of exolted corn markets reached a olimax when there was an advance In September options of 7 oents a bushel Inside of the first fifteen minutes of the session. Monday that delivery closed at 68)c per bushel and within a

?ng

uarter of an hour after the rinsrof the bell declaring the board open it had sold at 00 oents. The dosing price was 59^'. At the same time wheat, which olosed for September delivery at 54jtf, had advanced to 60^Thus the unusual spectacle was presented of corn selling at 8 cents more per bushel of fifty-six pounds than sixty pounds of whe-at would bring.

In May corn, remote as is the time of delivery, there was even more exoitement, but a less sonsationul advance in price was marked. There wab more excitement because the speculative trade is almost entirely centered In May delivery. It closed Monday with sellers at 40 cents per bushel. During the morning it could not be bought under MM cents, and very little indeed could be secured at that price, there being buyers at the same Instant offering 2 aud 3 cents a bushel more. There was a crowd of buyers jumping after every 10,000 bushels offered for sale, and before there was any abatement of the excitement 53.^ cents was freely paid for a few minutes. The closing price was 54f cents.

Caused Intense Kirltenient. Ordinarily an advance of 1$ to of a cent causes a good deal of commotion In the corn pit, so that the wild, uncontrollable excitement which occurred with an advance, within a few minutes of seven cents a bushel may be imagined. As an instance of the erratlo charactor of the trading, one broker who had un order, unlimited as to price, to sell September corn, when It was nominally GO cents a bushel, could do no better than 67 oents for 10,000 bushels of it and 50K cents for 18,000, 25,000 bushels being the quantity he had to dispose of. It had advanced within of a cent of 7 cents a bushel within fifteen minutes of the opening and in less than a minute thereafter it had dropped back 8V»' oents, as indicated.

Country Operators Winning. The peculiarity of the present tremendous accretion of prioe is that the shrewd board of trade operators, or at least a majority of them, are losing money by It, while the hundreds of oountry operators are raking in the profits. One short month ago corn for deli-very in May. 189S, was selling at87 oents per bushel. This advanoe, therefore, means a loss to anyone who had sold it short thirty days ago at 87 cents of 105f cents per bushel. the quantity sold short was only 100,000 bushels, that would present a net Joss to the seller, and, of course, a similar profit to the buyer of 816,750, and there are hundreds of countrymen who are each carrying more than 100,000 bushels.

Due to the Drought.

There Is no doubt as to the cause of the rise In the value of oorn. The continuous drought, accompanied, as it has been, by a phenomenally high temperature, has resulted In "such a damage to the crop that Instead of 2,500,000,000 bushels of corn, which was at one time promised, not even half of that quantity is now likely to be gathered. This, at least, was the general feeling which produced the panicky condition that ruled in the corn pit. Three and three-quarters oents was added to the prioe during the previous week's operations. Almost as muoh more was added Monday, so that the bulge in tht first fifteen minutes of the session equaled the advance of the previous eight days.

The map whioh the weather bureau prints eaoh morning for the use of those interested in the progress of the crops still showed the same arid conditions heretofore prevailing through the entire corn belt, and the excited brokers, seeing no hope of rain, pictured to themselves the total destruction of the crop as a possibility if rain did not come to its relief within the next ten days.

In New York.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.—The corn market started out with a 9-oent Jump over Monday night and increased It in few moments to 6X oents, while at the west the aDxious buying of shorts w&iputtlng prloes up 1 and 2 cents at« clip until a gain of 0% cents had been recorded over Monday nightV prioes, and making corn considerably higher than wheat. The excitement here during the advance was naturally intense, and the corn ring was crowded with brokers trying to oover their short oon tracts. The foundation of the sensu tlonal rise iu corn still rests on the bad crop news, which Is getting worse every day, and a report that the Iowa crop bulletin would show a condition of 40 per cent.

To Investigate Kick*.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—The house Judiciary committee instructed Repre sentatlve Bailey (Tex.) to introduce a resolution in the house authorizing the judiciary committee to Inquire into the charges made against Judge Rioks, of the northern district of Ohio.

A Boy Convict Pardoned.

TARSNEY S FOES.

They Are In a Pair Way to Receive Punishment.

THEIR PLOT LAID BARE IN DETAIL.

Confession of One of the Participants lit the Outrage Upon the Oolorado Official—Men In Important Positions Are Implicated.

ADMITS HIS GUILT.

DENVER, Col., Aug. 8.—Joe R. Wil, son, the deputy sheriff of El Pasq county who was captured in Missouri, has made a full confession, implicating) a number of other men whom he olalms assisted him in tarring and feathering Adjt.-Gen. Tarnsey at Oolorado Springs several weeks ago. He Is now here Jn the county jail. His oonfesslon was made on the train en route to this city.

A Plot of Politicians.

Every detail of the tar and feathers affair Is now In possession of the Denver officers, and however high a position the offenders may hold, they will ultimately be brought to Justioe. Wilson's confession clearly illustrates one point. That is that the crime was oommltted by the political enemies of Gen. Tarsney and that the criminals were not the outcasts of the Bull Hill army, but men of higher standing in the community.

Men Engaged In the Affair. Wilson says that it is true that a murderer out of the £1 Paso county Jail was allowed to put tar and feathers on the adjutant general, and that among the main movers in the movement were Sheriff Bowers, Deputy Sheriff J. B. Wilson, Deputy Bob Mulllns, Capt. Saxton, of Troop A. Sherman Crumley, Walton Crumley, William Bancroft, of troop A, and others. Wilson, together with Parker, who has also confessed, will be brought before the grand jury which Is now sitting at Oolorado Springs.

Tells a Straight Story.

The oonspiraoy is said to have originated at Gillette upon the report of an alleged remark on the part of Tarsney to the effect that he hoped every man in Bower's army would be shipped home in a coffin. The plans were laid and freely discussed in the sheriff's offloe.

It is claimed that Sheriff Bowers even furnished the tar, while Mrs. Quaokenboss skilfully arranged the feathers, destroying one of the pillows of her spare room to secure them. The crowd went from their meeting to the Almo hotel in carriages, whioh were secured by one of the deputies.

Everything was conducted calmly, deliberately, and there was no excitement and no noise to draw suspioion. Wilson says that the party was led by himself and that he was the one who poked the gun under Tarsney's face when he came down to the office to answer a telephone call. Three other men went into the hotel office.

First Proposed Killing Him. After Tarsney was secured and joined the riding party quiet was changed to tumult and it looked as If the adjutant general had not muoh longer to live. He was even told that his time had come and he was going to die. They proposed killing him by first chopping his head off and then quartering him with a large and keen butcherknife, the edge of which he was asked to feel. All this was firmly believed by the adjutant, who was resigned to his supposed fate. When he was finally told that he was not going to be killed he was so relieved that ho shook hands with his persecutors and thanked them over and over for sparing his life.

Identltled by Tarsney.

Wilson has been identified by Mr. Tarsney. He tells a straight and accurate story and it is believed. In addition to the part attributed to Bowers in the above he says that it was the sheriff wlio liberated the murderer for the purpose of having him accompany the tarring party.

After the crowd had amused themselves with the general as long as they wanted, having performed the Job of tarring and feathering to their entire satisfaction, they went on their way, leaving their vlotim In a half-dazed condition to wander through the country. The disclosures of Wilson have created a great sensation here.
