cratie members of the senate cominitlee on finance have been assured of the president’s co-operation in having the tariff bill become a law, as he has expressed his approval of the bill as a whole. In the course of a conversation with a memlier of the committee Mr. Cleveland referred to the hill and took occasion to say that he hoped it would pass ami that there might be as little delay as possible in getting it through the senate. He spoke of the condition of the country, which was such as to render it important that the agitation of the tariff subject should lie terminated at the earliest possible moment. There had been some apprehension as to the way in which the president might regard the income tax in the shape agreed upon, and also the sugar duty, but he is said to have spoken not in an unfriendly way in the interview mentioned of these two items, not so much with reference to the principles involved in the provisions as of the f ict that they assure a sufficient revenue tor the necessities of the government. The friends of the senate bill are encouraged to believe that the president’s itosition with reference to the bill as now prepared will strengthen it. materially in the house. HKRINU SKA HINIMTK. Secretary CireHliam t rgen a Law ItHMed on the Keatilt* of Arbitration. Washington, March 23. — Secretary Gresham was lieforo the house committee on foreign affairs yesterday concerning the status of the Bering sea affairs. There were brought out important developments as to the manner in which her majesty’s government was executing the award of the Bering sea court of arbitration. The strictest injunction was pnt on members of the committee to re train from discussing the secretary's statement. Later in the day, however, on Mr. Gresham's return to the state department, the general points in the hearing were made known. He spike for an hour and explained the situation fully. It appears that by the terms of the treaty of arbitration both Great Britain and the United States bound themselves to abide by the decision. It has been contended that this treaty obligation was so binding that no law of congress or of parliament was needed to carry out the decree of the court. Senator Morgan of the arbitrators so holds. Secretary Gresham deemed it wise, however, to have congress pass a law carrying out the court's decision, and the measure was drafted and submitted to congress, but the secretary expressed surprise that Great Britain has as yet presented no such legislation so far as was officially known. No action was taken on the bill submitted, but there is no objection to it and it can be reported at any time. TARIFF COMMISSION. Srimtiir Mur Kit II Proposes »<i I’ress HIa Hill For lift KHtablUltiiiriits Washington, March 23. — Senator Morgan expresses an intention to press, at the proper time, his proposed amendment to the tariff bill providing for the appointment of a tariff commission. He says: “The purjioHe of the amendment is to provide for changes of the tariff upon an equitable basis, without the distu.bance in business which is always the result of an effort to make a complete revision. If the matter should be 1 dated in the hands of a commission, as proposed by the amendment, changes could be made to suit the condition of the treasury or of any especial industry, and they would be made so gradual, if made in accordance with the provisions of tlie amendment, as not to create the least disturbance.” The senator cited authorities to show that the amendment would be constitutional ami mentioned the fact that Senator Cullom had also presented a proposed amendment of similar purport as his own as an indication that the amendment will find support in the senate.

ate* a StiKpicloii.
Massillon, O., March 23.—The Coxey “army of peace” does not materialize. Not to exceed 20 men have yet put in an apjiearance here. The leaders of the movement still profess to believe that at least 1,000 men, and may lie more, will be ready to march when the army moves next Sunday. Every day Coxey’s mail is loaded down with letters from jiersons in various parts of the country promising recruits to the ranks or sustenance to the army while on the road. The failure of the recruits to report at headquarters has given rise to suspicions in some quarters that the writers of tlie letters are trifling with Coxey. On the other hand, reports from towns within 40 or 50 miles of Massillon tell of bodies of tramiis who say they are on their way to report to Commander Coxey. FRY’S LETTKK TO CONGRESS.!! KN. linliMt riHl Army I-railer Goes Far llryonil Coxey In the Cue of Fifcarea. El Paso, Tex.. March 23.—General Lewis C. Fry of the Industrial army has sent to each member of congress the fol-
lowing letter:
That you may be thoroughly informed, 1 send you a preamble and constitution ol the United States Industrial army. Von must lie aware of the fact that nature is not at fault, for we have the most prolific country in the world—our granaries are full to overflowing, our warehouses are full witli material for clothes, and our cities have millions of vacant houses, and yet our people are ragged, hungry and homeless. These conditions are brought about by vicious and ignorant legislation in the interest of tlie plutocrats. The army is daily increasing and will perhaps number 41X1,000. They are marching on to present you a living petition of want and misery (one that cannot be thrown into the waste basket), to request you to pass some laws for their immediate relief. It is in your power to pass a law authorizing the secretary to issue $1,000,<HX!,000 of government legal tender money and employ all the idle citizens on internal improvements, such as irrigation canals, to reclaim desert wastes and to improve harbor and navigable rivers. On behalf of the starv iug millions of men, women and children we lieseech you to act at your earliest pos-
sible moment.

the state court. Two means were yet left, and the assassin's attorneys turned to these with energy. They were arguments before the acting governor, who was summoned to Spring held, and tlie raising of a ques tion of tlie prisoner’s sanity under a special state statute, and a judge of tlie circuit court was prevailed upon to hear a trial of Prendergast for insanity. ItrfuscMl a Reprieve. One of these final hopes was shattered last night, when tlie acting governor, after hearing tlie arguments and examining the petition ' a reprieve, announced that he could not grant it. He said that Prendergast had been tried by a jury of his peers fairly and had been convicted; that they had adjudged him sane: that an eminent judge had sentenced him to lie hanged, and that both the supreme and federal courts had declined to interfere in tlie
matter.
But better fortune was in store for the assassin. Raising the point that Prendergast had become insane since tlie trial, the attorneys applied to Judge Chetlain, and lie consented to hear arguments to show that lie could or could not properly take up the matter. At first no refused to extend tlie time fur hearing beyond 11 o’clock today, tlie hour set for the execution, but at 10:30 last night, at the conclusion of argument, he announced his decision extending the time of the execution of the sentence two weeks, to April 6, and setting the commencement of the trial of the question as to the prisoner's sanity Saturday morning at 10 o’clock. Said tne
judge:
TIip Court's Itiilinif. ‘The case as it now stands is as follows: The state has appeared and declared itself ready to proceed. It haconceded to tlie defendant the right to a trial. The court required tlie defense to introduce further evidence to make a prima facia case, raising a reasonable doubt as to tlie sanity of the prisoner. The question is not one of the guilt of the prisoner, but whether lie, between the time of the judgment of the court and the execution of his sentence, has become insane. The court has the power to empanel a jury and try this case. It is now nearly midnight and apparerff to counsel on both sides that the trial could not be conducted before the time appointed for the execution. “Shall the court be left powerless to prolong the time of the execution of the sentence': From the authorities, 1 am satisfied that the court has that inherent power. Now, has good cause been shown why the time of the execution should lie prolonged? Two witnesses say that this man has become insane since the judgment of the court. One testified to a change in his manner and less coherence in his language, indicating insanity. Another witness, at first believing that defendant had control of his action, has since the judgment of the court become convinced that the defendant has no control over his actions, is entirely irresiHinsible and insane. The question ought to lie submitted to a jury and investigation be made quietly and duly. It would be inconsistent with humanity and justice to compel a trial at midnight. For the foregoing reasons

the court will prolong the execution of Patrick Eugene Prendergast.” Prendergast, who sat in the courtroom last evening, was apparently laboring under great excitement. After the stay had lieen granted a re)H)rter approached him and said: “Well, Prendergast, what do you think
of it?"
“How can I help being pleased?” as he rubbed his hands nervously across his
mony, that the men should be deliatrcd and the women admitted when Colonel
Breckinridge takes the stand.

Denypr, March 23.—One of the most destructive and at the same time spectacular conflagrations ever seen in this city broke out at 6:15 last night in the recently finished 6-story Champa building on Champa street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, and threatened for a time to sweep the entire block. About a quarter of the square was destroyed at a total loss of $175,000. The conflagration started in the rear basement of the Champa building, among the furniture stock of Thompson &Co., from spontaneous combustion, and before the situation was realized the entire building of 100 feet frontage was a mass of flames. Two hours afterward the high east and west walls of the Champa fell, crushing three 2 story structures to the east and two to the west like eggshells; the back wall fell into the alley, hut did comparatively little damage. Then the front wall toppled over into Champa street, the concussion breaking all the glass in the buildings opposite. The St. James, one of the largest hotels in the city, on Curtis street, back of the Champa building, caught fire and the rear part was destroyed. The guest- were all gotten out
