■ I ■wW * The Subject Divides Attention With the i'oxey Movement. THE DEMOCRATIC PURPOSE. Compnuiilw Offered the Dlski.lldled Mrin-Im-th on the Income Tux Feature Which PromiM-x to Win Their Support--Speech by Mr. Mills— Fight to Begin In Earnest. Other Affairs. , Washington, April 25 — According to the agreement entered into between the Democratic and Republican senators, the reading of the tariff bill by paragraphs for amendment began this afterKoon. It is considered ns quite probable I the day will be largely taken up in set- ; tling details, one of the most important , of which will be as to the limitation of hours of debate. When the senate doors were opened after yesterday's executive session a j group of Republicans, known as the I steering committee of that party, and | Senator Gorman were holding a conference. Among the Republicans were Senators Aldrich, Allison Washburp and Mitchell. Propositions and counter propositions were made, but no agreement was reached. Republicans informed Mr. Gorman that their side of the chamber would insist on a quorum when any vote was taken on the amendments to the bill. Senator Gorman wanted the Republicans to agree that the consideration of the bill should continue until 6 o’clock each evening, but to this he did not receive a favorable response. a counter proposition being made that a meeting of the senate at 11 o'clock would be more satisfactory. Thus the ma’ter remains to Ik 3 settled later. The Republicans had been informed » by Senator Harris that only for this -week could aik arrangement be made looking to closing each day's session at 6 unlock, intimating that after that tilfe the’ hours might be further lengthened. It is probable that the Republicans will debate the bill each day until there is a lack of a qubrnm apparent, when they will allow a vote to come up on some amendment to show the absence of a quorum. Senator Gorman, who is a chairman of the Democratic caucus, has written a letter to every Democratic senator in or out of the city asking them to attend the sessions of the senate for the purpose of passing the tariff bill. He reminds them that unanimous consent under which the tariff bill has been considered ended at noon today. He says 1 tie members of the finance committee intend to push the bill as rapidly as possible, and to enable them to do so it will: be- necessary for every Democratic senator to be present and remain within call during "The consideration of the bill. In view of the fact that there are but 44 Democratic senators, he says, it is absolutely neces- ' sary that each senator when arranging his pair Shall nave a reservation to vote , at any time it is necessary to make a quorum. He says that he is further informed that it is the intention of the senators in charge of the bill to continue its consideration until 6 o’clock hereafter and in order to do so it will require the£ active co-operation of every Democratic “ senator. This notification is intended to meet just such exigencies as the Republicans expect to occur, and which will nodoubt be manifest every night alumt 5 o’clock unless the majority are particularly dili- " gent, benator Harris says the bill must pass by June 1, while Republican leaders say that the date is at least two'j months too early. .'.-COMPROMISE MEASt KES. Prospect That Income Tax May Be Modified For the D’satisfied* April 25. —The Democratic senators continued their conferences yesterday, with a view<V> reachingan agreement upon the tariff bill. The friends of the bill feel it important top have the measure'receive the fil’d party vote, and they also want the hearty support of the Entire party in having it. jiassed as speedily as possible. The}' wish -to get it out of the way of the fall campaign. They have made a canvass of the dissatisfied senators, and think they are now prepared to make the changes which j will accomplish the purpose. Among the senators consulted were j Messrs- Hill. Murphy, Smith, Gorman. Gibson and Brice. They find these six to be opposed to the income tax and to the present sugar duty. They will probably make one or two exceptions in granting the demands of the discontented senators. They ask, for instance, that the income tax be stricken out entirely, i This request will hardly be conceded, but this part of the bill will be materially modified. It is not probable now, however, that the champions of the bill will consent to the striking out of this paragraph. Mills on the Tariff. Washington, April 25.—The senate yesterday exhausted the morning hour with trivial matters, and then Senator Mills, with a small attendance in the galleries, began a speech in support of the tariff. Senator Mills, while declaring that the bill did not meet his approval (and he doubted if it met .the entire approval of any senator), announced that it would have his hearty, support. He would put everything which required to be manufactured on the free list. He declared: “There is a duty devolving on this body which cannot be evaded. We must pass this bill; make it as good as we can first, but pass it we must. We must not only pass it, but we must stop talking about it. The American people demand it. They sent us here for that purpose; they did not send us here to hear arguments for a new trial; they sent us here to drive the criminal out of the country; to restore the country to its natural rights.”Hopes For Democratic Support. Washington, April 25. — Senator Power has introduced an amendment to the tariff bill, re-enacting the provisions of the McKinley tariff as they apply to wool, excdpt that the jates are changed. The amendment provides’ a duty of 7 cents per pound on wool of the first class, 8 cents on second’class, 4 cents on third class worth 9 cents, and 5 cents d'n third class exceeding 9 cents in value. This is a reduction of about one-third from the

McKinley bill and Senator Power says his reasons for reducing the rates is that he hopes to got Democratic support lor - his amendment. Ttirpifc OflViM a Pension lIIIL I Washington, April 25.—Senator Turpie has introduced a service pension bill which provides that any officer or private who served in the civil war shall be i granted a pension at the rate of 1 cent i a day a month for the time he served. I Every pensioner receiving under this act ' less than $8 a month is to have his pension increased to that amount upon l reaching the age of (10 years, and to sl2 a month if incapacitated from manual : labor. The period of senice is to date from the time of enlistment to the date of discharge, except in cases where pensioners have lieen discharged on account I of wounds before the expiration of their ' terms of enlistment, when they are to be I paid as if they had continued to serve. The bill is specifically a service jiension I bill, and it is provided that the pensions I granted under it shall be in addition to ) any invalid pension granted for disabili ity incurred in the line of duty. — Bohm, Ri-n<l.v to Adjoiirnjn Jun*. Washington. April 25.—Representsj live Holman and other prominent Democrats of the house say that if the senate i would pass the tariff Bill promptly an adjournment of congress would be possi- ! ble as early as June 1. The lower bouse ! is making rapid work of the appropriation bills, and when these are out of the way there is nothing to hold the house. But even with the favorable outlook in the house an adjournment before August is not predicted. The house, when it has put the pressing legislative business out of the way, will take up the state bank tax repeal and other issues. Ohio Pension Agents Disbarred. Washington, April 25. — Secretary Smith has ordered the disbarment of six pension attorneys, among them being James Cooley of Richwood and York, O.,and William Bushfield of Cambridge, O.

Sixfy years ago Colonel Thompson came to Indianapolis to attend a convention. traveling on horseback, and has not missed a state gathering of his party since. He came in last evening and was refreshed by a comfortable rest during the night. His appearance on the stage was the occasion of an outburst of enthusiastic applause. He looked strong and In a firm voice delivered a characteristic address. The platform submitted invites comparison between the Harrison and the present administration; declares for protection and reciprocity; for a currency composed of gold, silver and paper, readily convertible at a fixed standard of value and entirely under national control; denounces a purpose to repeal the tax on state banks; favors liberal construction of pension laws and condemns the policy ot the present administration; favors a state soldiers’ home; demands rigid enforcement of immigration laws: condemns Cleveland’s Hawaiian policy and his “bargain and sale of federal patronage.” It also condemns the increase of offices in the state and declares that the burdens of taxation are unjust 'and unnecessary lA’ reason of increased assessment and tax rate; the gerrymander is denounced, nonpartisan management of state institutions is favored and legislation for the protection of the lives andlimbs of railroaders, miners and factory employes is favored. Last evening an effort was made to have the nominations of supreme court judges come first, but this idea did not meet with sufficient encouragement to succeed. The first nomination on the list is that of secretary of state. It is possible that the convention can not get through today. BOILER BLOWS UP. One Mau Killed and Two Others Seriously Inj nred.

A RETIRED BUSINESS WOMAN. A Page From Her History. The important experiences of others are interesting. Th'e following is no exception: “I had been troubled with heart disease 25 years, much of that time very seriously. For five years I was treated by one physician continuously. I was In business, but obliged to retire on account of my health. A physician told my friends that I could not live a month. My feet and limbs were badly swollen, and I was Indeed in a serious condition when a gentleman directed my attention to Dr. Rilles’ New Heart Cure, ana said that his sister, who had been afflicted with heart disease, had been cured 1 by the remedy, and was again a strong, healthy woman. I purchased a bottle of the Heart Cure, and in less than an hour after taking the first dose I could feel a decided Improvement in the circulation of my blood. When I had taken three doses I could move my ankles, something I had not done for months,and my limbs had been swollen so long that they seemed almost putrlfled. Before I had taken one bottle of the New Heart Cure the swelling had all gone down, and I was so much better that J did my own work. On my recommendation six others are taking this valuable remedy.’’—Mrs. Morgan, 669 W. Harrison St., Chicago, 111.
