HILL THE NEGATIVE MEMBER

8!x Absent Ones ('minted In Support of the Action, but There Is Some Doubt About Murphy of New York—3Iajority Member* Hopeful of the Karly Passage of the Hill. Washington, May 4.—By a vote of 37 to 1, six of the 44 Democratic members bein« absent, the Democratic senators in caucus last eveniutf adopted a resolution agreeing to support the tariff bill of the finance committee, including the compromise amendments that have been agreed upon by the many conferences of Democratic senators during the past two weeks. The resolution was presented by Senator Gorman of Maryland, chairman of the caucus, and was discussed at some

T m & 1 8KNATOR GORMAN. length, as the session lasted from a few minutes after 4 o'clock until nearly 7 o’clock. The six absent senators were. Mills, Murphy, Lindsay, Irby. Butler and Gibson. It was claimed that they were all accounted for. and assurances were given that they would support the tariff bill. The only parsons in whose absence there might be any significance are Senators Murphy and Mills. Senator Mills was not at the senate during the day, and the call for the caucus was sent to his house. It is believed that ho has some objections to the concessions that have been made, but he has previously announced that he would support any bill that provided for reductions in the present law. Senator Murphy’s caucus notice was also sent to his residence. His position has all along been one of doubt, bnt several Democratic senators assert that he will support the bill and he is counted in the 4d which are claimed as certain to vote in its favor. The other absentees are either out of the city or failed to secure notice in time. Many of them have been counted as against the bill. s Sp«-.clie« For the Coin|iroini*e. In presenting the resolution and stating the object of the caucus, Senator Gorman made a conciliatory speech. He said it was necessary to make concessions in order to secure the united support of the party, and he further asserted that it would need a Democratic majority to pass the bill. Senator Jones of Arkansas, the member of the finance committee who has taken the most active part in the preparation of the compromise; Senator McPherson of New Jersey; Senator Palmer of Illinois and Vilas of Wisconsin made long and vigorous speeches urging party harmony and the necessity of early action. Great interest centered in the speech of Senator Smith of New Jersey, and his remarks were received with a great deal of satisfaction, for while he said he was not satisfied with the bill and was unalterably opposed to the income tax, he was rea<ly to support the measure, with the amendments which had been agreed upon, although he claimed that what were called concessions by the southern and western men were but small compared with the concessions which eastern senators made in supjKirtmg the bill with the income tax provis ions. Hill Against the Measure. Senator Hill of New York was not placated. He spoke only a short time, but it was long enough to convince the caucus that his vote would not be for the bill if the income tax remained in it. He said that whatever the so-called concessions might be, they could not compensate for a rider in the bill which neither the needs of the country or the party demanded. Without saying so in direct terms, there were none who listened to him who believed that he would support the bill. The vote showed what those who had come into the caucus had expected. The roll was called in order to place all on record, and 37 senators voted in favor of the resolution and one (Hill) against it. The vote was received with genuine gratification, as many believed it signified that the tariff bill would pass. Com promift** Com'eKrtionft. Senator Jones in his speech gave the reasons why the majority of the Democratic senators representing the south and west wanted the income tax and why the minority from the north and east were opposed to it, and said that while out ot deference to the majority it had been kept in, the minority had been granted the concession of a limitation of the time the law should continue in force, and that while the iteriod had nol been fixed it would probably be placed at five years. He also said that many of

the imiuisitonal features of the bill had been omitted, but that the amount exempted and the rate of taxation had not been changed. He also said that the sugar schedule had been so changed as to provide for an nd valorem doty of 40 per cent and an additional duty of 1-8 cent on refined sugar, with a penalty of 1-10 cent on sugar imi>orted from countries paying a bounty on sugar. The present law with the bounty to stand until Jan. 1 next. He also stated that a large number of I ther amendments had been made, but lid not mention them in detail nor make any explanation except to say that in no case were the rates fixed as high as in the McKinley law. Congrpftfc. W ashinoton. May 4. —The house spent three hours in considering river and harbor appropriations and killed the remainder of the day's time in a futile effort to secure consideration of other bills. The senate talked tariff until 4 o’clock and then adjourned for a Democratic caucus. Indiana NewMpappr In Trouble. Washington, May 4.—A bundle of copies of the Ft.

Cincinnati, May 4.—The editor and manager ot The Commercial-Gazette spent some time yesterday with exPresident Harrison and today the pajier says editorially: “The Harrison presidential boom appears to have lieen well and permanently launched by the visit of the distinguished Hoosier to Cincinnati. There is no use to beat about the bush any longer. The popular hold of General Harrison upon American citizens makes palpable the fact that they may as well begin to consider his name in connection with the nomination of The close relations of Manager Perry S. Heath and Editor J. H. Woodward to Harrison, and the fact that they spent most of the day with the ex-president, leave* no doubt about this being an official announcement, Mr. Woodward, in fact, states that it is an official declara-

Toleho, May 4.—With two men out and two on bases in the ninth inning, and two runs needed to win the game for Toledo, Foreman hit for three bases, to the great relief of an excited crowd.

Washington, May 4.—The agitation in Europe, and notably in England, in favor of the rehabilitation of silver as a money metal is being observed with the greatest satisfaction by the administration, for it is regarded as a strong con-

It lasted 15 seconds and was felt in nearly all of the districts which had previously suffered. The shocks completed the destruction of many buiblings which had been damaged by former disturbances. There was no loss of life, as most of the people were camping in the open country. One of the numerous curious results of the earthquakes is that in Aidipso fully 10,1 fresh springs have been opened, the water coming from them ranging from 115 to 180 degrees

The army is in desperate straits, but Europe had prospered under the old Kelly still insists that he will not walk conditions and was well satisfied to al- | out of town,

low the United States bear the burden.

The president’s theory was that by suspeuding further efforts iti that direction, the Umttsl States would cause the European nations to feel file need of a larger circulating medium and to share at least with us the hardships of monetary stringency. Therefore the movement now in ; progress in England and Germany and j France are regarded by the administra- I tion people as evidence of the succes;' > ^ 1 working of the president’s ]K>licy. But notwithstanding the rosy view held out by the European agitation, our government is not yet satisfied that a satisfactory international agreement can be reached at prese nt or even in the near future. The pressure has not yet become so severe as to warrant the belief on our part that such nations as Great Britain and Germany are ready to abandon their long cherished convictions and take up the double standard. It is probable that our government will pursue a conservative course, declining to take the initiative again, in view of fruitless conferences already held, and bide its time until the European powers, and particularly Great Britain are prepared to invite the United States to joiti in a conference which .shall have before it some distinct proposition looking to the rehabilitation of silver aud with sufficient power lodged in the members to insure a practicable outcome. SHKKUAN ON SI LV L It. lie Hope* Hi* London Conference May IteMiilt In an International Agreement. Washington, May 4.—Senator Sherman, in speaking of the London bimetallic convention, expressed the hoi>e that it would lead to the calling of an international monetary conference and

said:

“There is no division of sentiment among conservative people as to the necessity of regaining silver as one of the moneys of the country. The only question we have discussed in congress is whether we can have free coinage without demonetizing gold. The general opinion is tiiat tins would be the result of an attempt by the United States alone to maintain Hi ounces of silver with one ounce of gold, when in the ojmui market we can buy 31 ounces of silver with an ounce Of gold. While I have always opposed the free coinage of silver, I have none the less desired that silver should be used to the utmost extent jwjssible as a money metal, providing only that it would not place us on a single standard of silver and drive gold from the country, the gold being the recognized standard in monetary transactions with all the chief commercial

nations.’'

Senator Teller says: “As to the effect of the telegram sent to the meeting by Senator Sherman and other senators who have not been known as silver men, 1 think the telegram will encourage bimetallism in Europe by showing that even those who oppose the free coinage of silver have come to recognize tne ne-

cessity of a double standard.'’ ACTIVE HI >1 ETALLISTS.

London, May 4.—At the bimetallic conference yesterday ex-Lord Mayor Evans, who presided, read a cable message from Washington, signed by a number of United States senators, expressing sympathy with the movement to promote the restoration of silver by international agreement. The message was received with prolonged cheering. Sir David Barbour, ex-secretary to the India council, dwelt upon the injury which India had sustained in consequence of the fall in the price of silver. Sir W. H. Honldsworth, who was the delegate of Great Britain at the monetary conference at Brussels, read a paper on “The Effects Upon Agriculturists, Manufacturers, Wage-Earners, Merchants, Bankers and Investors of the Fall in General Level of Prices.” M.

TARIFF TUMULT.

HiflVrent’e* of Opinion Unitwe Confusion In m New York Meeting. • New York, May 4.—A mass meeting was held in Cooper Union last night to protest against the dilatoriness of the senate in passing upon the Wilson bill. All wasn't harmony, and the income tax question was what marked the dividing of the ways. The storm broke when Frederick R. Coudert took issue with James G. Carter and roundly denounced the income tax measure as bad, dishonest and undemocratic. One half of the large crowd hissed and interrupted this expression of opinion; the other cheered and applauded and hurled back the epithets applied to Mr. Coudert by his opponents from the body of the hall. An old man jumped up, shook his fist at Mr. Coudert on the plat form,and shouted: “We were paying the taxes while you people were robbing us.’’ At this point there was a tumult. Confusion reigned for some minutes. Finally Mr. Coudert put everyone in good humor by siying that, bad as the income tax was, he was willing to swallow it for the sake of the

tariff reduction.

The meeting finally resolved that, while opposed to an income tax, it was more opposed to the present system of tariff taxation. Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild presided. The meeting was called by representatives of 42

business houses.

The president's address sided with the radicals, who are in favor of taking an aggressive attitude toward the questions of immigration and the Catholic church and its influence in schools and politics. There is a conservative faction which counsels moderation. The address, on account of these differences, has been deferred and will probably be tone! down before being made public. A committee has been aje jioiiited to draft a declaration of princi-

The strikers are firm and say they will not work a moment until there is an adjustment over the entire country, even if they starve. The Weaver-Getz company offered its idle employes $1.10 a ton, or 35 cents a ton advance over the old price, if the men would resume work, but ti :y refused. Statu** to ('lark.

HIS VISITOR A CRANK. Caller on Arelihlsliop Corrigan < ••nsignrO to I’rtson. New York, May 4.—Archbishop Corrigan was the object of a maniacal crank’s attentions for a moment yesterday, just as he was preparing to go from his residence to the cathedral. A servant, responding to a ring at the door, found a man on his knees in the vestibule. “I want to be forgiven." shouted the stranger, who clutched his bauds •pasmodic&lly, kissed the floor and made all sorts of gesticulations. As the Steward stood looking at him for a moment the maniac made a spring for the inner door. “1 want to see the archbishop in his study," he cried. The servant resisted him. and a policeman, attracted by the noise, ran up the steps and seized the crank, who was taken to the police station, and subsequently committed to be examined as to his sanity. The man’s name is John H. Fell, and he said he was formerly a member of the firm of Fell & Van Ness, furniture dealers, Third avenue and Sixty-fourth street. He shows unmistakable evidence of religious mania. He said to the justice that he would see Archbishop Corrigan, no matter if it took a lifetime. Two or three court officers tried to stop him from singing hymns in court, but tailed. DYNAMITE OUTRAGE. Doctor In Liege 1’icks Ip a Homb With a Light***! Fu*e. Liege.

ORGAN OF NO MAN. Sale of the Chicago I utcr-Oc* an Will Not Kflcct It* Folicy. CHI' ago, May 4.—The rumors that have been floating about for some days of changes in the proprietorship of the Inter-Ocean have been verified. H. M. Kohlsnat, who for three years has been publisher of the paper and proprietor of the majority of the stock, has disposed of his entire interest to William Penn Nixon, who has lieen editor of the paper for more than 18 years. Mr. Nixon says: “There will be no change in the policy or character of the paper. There is no political scheme under the transfer and the paper will continue the advocate of Republican politics, but be the organ of no man or set of men." This contradicts an assertion that the pajier was to champion the cause of ex-President Har-

rison.
