Kinley bill debate, the Democrats made j the air vocal with denunciations. It was j the duty of the Hous to act deliberately '

and frame a bill satisfactory to the country lefore It was sent to the other House to be ratified by the emlvassadors of sovereign States. The order did not permit the amendment of the bill ty sections. Mr. ! T 1 I.I . L IT . l,ln,tUn to a one-man power. It had a crave responsitdlty and yet it was permitting the Senate by this rule to be placed within the "sacrM judgment" of the chair. Chairman Wilson, answering Mr. Reed, said that no one was more anxious than he to BfHire full consideration of the bill and possible amendments. He believed the rule accomplished thK There was ample time for full and Instructive dl. -cushion of the bill. In conclusion. Mr. Wilson sail that he would move an. amendment to the rule, provlline that the general debate continue throughout the present week, with nlht J sessions, tne ueuite un!r me nve-minure rule to besln next Monday, and the final vote to l taken on Jan. 20. Mr. Wilson also moved that general leave to print be frlven. There was a ripple of applause as Mr. Wilson finished his proposition for an extension of time. Mr. Keed announced that his associates on the Republican side would not prive their consent to Mr. Wilson's proposition. The ex-Speaker said that the Republican side did not want to be put In the position of acquiescing' in this or any other step on the part of the majority. Mr. Reed then offered a motion to recommit the order with Instructions to amend it so as to give four additional days for debate and to permit the bill to be amended by parasrraphs. The motion was lost, 0 to 151, and the vote then recurred on the adoption of the special order of the rules committee. It resulted Yeaa. l..; nays, 1. COMMITTEE OF THE "JVHOLE. After the vote which adopted the rules the Speaker rapped sharply for order. "In accordance with" the special order Just adopted," said he, "the House new resolve3 Itself Into the committee of the whole for the consideration of revenue legislation. The pentleman from Tennessee, Mr. Richardson, will take the chair." Then Mr. Wilson rose, stepped back a few feet in the aisle, and togan his speech with a slight apolopry foi the informal manner in which he should deal with his subject. Mr. Wilson said that no creat question had been so thoroughly brought. out before the American people as the question of tariff, reform. For seven successive Conpresses it had been the chief matter of controversy in both houses, for almost as long a period it had been the chief matter of controversy in the press of the country. In every congressional district, in the schoolhouse and at the country store. Thus thoroughly discussed both as to general principles and as to its practi?al workings, the people had finally reached a definite Judgment and had given to this administration their definite Instructions. With this House as . the immediate representative of the people, , the only part of the federal government' resting directly upon popular suffrage. Is the constitutional authority to originate bills imposing taxes. The bill about to be considered presents a scheme of tariff reform prepared by the appropriate committee of this House which it Is now for the House to consider and to deal with In Its own deliberate Judgment. MUST BE A COMPROMISE. Every bill covering so wide a field of legislation and dealing with so many subjects must necessarily represent In Its details some compromise of opinion among those Intrusted with Its preparation. Any bill passed by Congress under present conditions, at least, must necessarily represent euch compromise. He did not believe that the country would underrate the difficulties confronting those who now attempt to revise and reform our tariff system. Among these difficulties were the dropping away of friends whose zeal for reform was In proportion to the square of the distance from their own localities and their own Industries and other friends who differed In tnelr Judgment as to the method to be pursued, feo also the great commercial distress which has in recent months come upon the country, paralyzing so many Industries and throwing so many thousands out of employment, made the task of reform the more difficult while It made the necessity for the reform more imperious than ever. At what time could taxes be lessened with greater Justice and greater humanity than at a time when thousands are struggling for the bare necessaries of life, and when could we, with greater timeliness and benefit strike some of the fetters from production and trade than when " production la suppressed by Its burdens and trade hampered by its restriction? A third difficulty In the way of reform now was the emptiness of the treasury. We are called upon to reduce taxes at a time when the government receipts are running so low that daily revenues have ceased to meet daily expenditures. He believed he could not better consume the time of the House In opening this debate than by giving the Btory of our depleted treasury and placing the responsibility for Its present straits where the responsibility Justly belonged. "During the four years of the last administration." said he, "we had plunged headlong from an overflowing treasury to a, bankrupt treasury, and that, too, without any les.-jtning of the burdens of taxation upon the people, but rather by a most substantial and oppressive increase of the taxes. The last report of Secretary FairChild estimated the surplus revenue for the year lbS3 at $104,000,000. The first report of Secretary Windom acknowledged a surplus revenue for that year of $10.",uu0,0m When the Cleveland administration went out oi office on the 4th day of March, 18S3, it turned over to Its successor an available cash balance amounting in the form or treasury statement used in th? past two years to Jl&.WO.UOU. During the Harrison administration the form of treasury statements was twice changed. First by Mr. Windom, who succeeded by this cqsh balance to conceal the surplus and later by Hr. Foster, to conceal the bankruptcy or the treasury. The Fifty-first Congresj dealt with th? treasury surplus after the true and traditional methods of protection, which was to lssen or abolish those taxet which pass directly and undiminished from the pockets of the taxpayer to the public treasury and to increase those taxes which were intercepted In thair passage from the packets of the taxpayer to the public treasury by the private tollrather?r. "The McKinley bill reduced the Internal rev?nue taxes on manufactured tobacco, abolishing special taxes on dealers and manufacturers of tobacco and wiped out the duties on raw sugar which, for years, past, had been our chief revenue-producing article on the customs list. Roth of these taxes were, in a Just and proper sense, revenue taxes and neither of them should have been touched so long as the rates of duty upon clothing and other necessary articles of consumption were so enormously oppressive. Tobacco taxes were reduced under the cry that tobacco had become a necessity for the poor as well as the rich, but new and heavier taxes were laid on the woolen clothing of the poor man so indispensable to his health and his productive energy. Sugar was untaxed so as to give the American worktngman a free breakfast table, but new taxes were placed on his cups and saucers, his plates and dishes, his coffee pot, his inives and. forks, his fcod and his table eover. In a word, he was relieved from the taxes he paid his government in orjer that he might be made to pay much rreater taxes to the beneficiaries of that Nil. These released, the taxes would have rielded us In the Interval since their omisllon more than $150,000,000 and would have laved us from any danger of the treasury leflcit. HOW THE SURPLUS W EXT. "The magnificent surplus turned over by the Cleveland administration was thus scattered. A larpe portion of it was used to purchase, at high premiums, bonds not yet due. In the first seven months of the Harrison administration $70,O)n,O0O of bonds were thus purchased at premiums ranging from 5 to 8 per cent, on the bonds of lSyi, and from 27 to 20 per cent, on the bonds due In li7. In the first five months of the fiscal year beginning July 1. 18W, over fcV Doo.ix) were disbursed in the payment of bonds and in the prepayment of interest not yet due. Rut, even this did not dissipate the surplus and the Fifty-first Congress was obliged to try Its hand upon it. It refunded the direct tax to the States, a mere log-rolling scheme to get at the treasury surplus, which Mr. Cleveland had vetoed when attempted in the previous Congresses. This was a pure gratuity, but it has taken out of the treasury over $U,0.ii. Next came the sugar bounty act. under which sums amounting to 17.0h,Un) have been iaid to sugar growers. List of all as the chief means of distributing the surplus was the dependent pension bill, under which our annaal pension expenditure has risen mere than $'', tMU. Whatever of merit or justice there might have been in this bill, it is very certain it would never .have become a law. but that those other pensioners, our protected Industries, might have the first pull and the largest profit oat of the taxes gathered to pay the pensionr. "Neither must it I forgotten In this etory of a depleted treasury that the Sherman law turned over to the last administration, as available cash, a trust fund of K.imumj deposited by national banks to rtdee.-n their note, nor that Secretary FM-r rhansfl tht forms of treasury utatenunts Ny adding to it twenty millions of MihMdLiry ar.d minor coins as part of its lV liable cah. If. thn. to more than IJW.K,t!) thus made away with by the last administration, we should add the SiSrt.U").iJj lrs of revenue by the omission of taxs Otx tobacco and buar alone, we should have

a clear Idea of the rapid and headlong stoi by which we have been brought to our present empty treasury-" He did not believe that those who voted to put the last administration in power expected any revision from it In the direction of Increasing rates. "The campaign of 1SSS was fought on the question of reforming and reducing the existing tariff, and not on the question of revising and raising the tariff of 18.il. No single Interest in the country, either In Congress or elsewhere, had the hardihood to assert that it meant to demand any increase of the protection accorded It by the bill of lT. and it was only the wantonness of self-greed, rapacity and selfishness and the knowledge that their demands, no mattei how exorbitant, would be graciously accorded, that brought them to Washington In 1S90 to write up on their own interests the successive schedules of the McKinley bill. Under the operation of that bill taxes in every one of the important schedules have been mercilessly and needlessly Increased. In manufactures of wool they had been raised from an average of 70 to an average of 100 per cent. In manufactures of glass they had been raised from an average of 54 to an average of 64 per cent. In manufactures of Iron and steel, although the year of 1887 had been a year of immense production and prosperity to those interests, the tariff was raised from an average of 36 to an average of 63 per cent. On cotton goods, although the tariff of 1SS3 had been made by the manufacturers themselves, duties were increased from an average of 40 to an average of 57 per cent. "Such Is the bill that we have been called on to revise In the interests of the people who consume, of the people who labor and of the people comprising the country in general and of the prosperity of the country Itself." Mr. Wilson, who Is in poor health, after speaking one hour and a half, suggested to his colleague. Mr. McMillin. that he would like to finish his speech to-morrow, and on the laater's motion the committee arose. The Democrats and galleries applauded vigorously when Mr. Wilson, took his seat. The report of the Sergeant-at-arms on the warrants issued for the forty-four members was then read. It showed the following members under arrest: Brown, Indiana (Dem.); . Cadmus, New Jersey (Dem.); Fielder, New Jersey (Dsm.); Gelssenhainer, New Jersey (Dem.j: Lefevre, New York (Itep.); Randall, Massachusetts (Rep.); liunn. (Dem.); Chllds, New York (Rep.); Cornish.

Messrs. Bingham. Pennsylvania (Rep.; Stockdalo, Mississippi (Dem.); Lrfiudenslager, New Jersey (Dem.), and Wover, New York (Rep.), have not been heard from. The others telegraphed that they were on the way. The Speaker stated that Mr. Brodeiick was present on yesterday. The warrant, as It related to him. was withdrawn. Warrants were also Issued for Mr. Cornish, Mr. Gelssenhalner and Mr. Boatner by mistake. Mr. Catchlngs stated that as the object for which the warrants had been Issued had been accomplished, he moved that all those in custody be discharged. Without objection the motion was carried. Then at 5 o'clock the House took a recess until tonight. The night session was devoted to set speeches. Mr. Lane (Dem.), of Illinois, supported the Wilson bill as did Mr. Bell (Dem.), of Texas. Mr. Morse (Rep.), of Massachusetts, and Mr. Bowers (Rep.), or California, opposed the bill. At the conclusion of the latter's speech, at 10:25 o'clock, the House adjourned. NO BONDS FOR PARKS

Board of Trade Law Committee on the Park Purchase Scheme. Finds tho City Indebtedness Is Too Near the Constitutional Limit Sentiment on Bankruptcy. The Board of Trade met In regular session last night and accepted the report of the membership committee on the name of Bert E. Parrott. who secures the membership made vacant by the death of D. K. Folsom. The special committee appointed to prepare resolutions -n the death of W. P. Gallup reported a memorial, which was read and adopted. The report of v the law committee on public parks was also heard by the board. After Investigation the committee finds that the indebtedness of the city is now within $100,000 of the constitutional limit of Its indebtedness, Including the J.W.OOO In bonds Issued to aid the Belt railway. In the opinion of the committee the Belt railway funds are part of the Indebtedness of the city. , This fact practically settles the Question of the city's issuing tonds for the purpose of building parks, although the committee hopes to soon arrive at a feasible plan by which tlu enterprise can be carried out. This committer also reported that the request of the Union Trust Company to be allowed to sell securities In the assembly room of the Board of Trade be granted. A third report by the law committee decked that there was no clause In the State statutes that would provide for a public weigher. This matter was brought up by grain men, who complained that they wero compelled to accept the weights of other cities in the shipment of grain. The committee will take the question to the City Council. The president' was instructed to appoint four delegates to the National Board of Trade, which convenes In Washington on Jan. 23. On motion of George G. Tanner it was decided to instruct the Indianapolis representatives to oppose In tne national meeting all bankruptcy legislation which applies to debt3 othr than those accruing upon a date of th passage of the act. Further, the board decided that at this time It do:a not believe any bankruptcy act necessary. GF.nl: UAL. WEATHER I1LLXETIN. Lorn I Forecast for Tuesday. WASHINGTON, Jan.. 8.

The Local Club's Proposition for an International Tournament. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. Jan. 8.-Some one In the East has started the report that the international chess tournament announced for this city, Feb. 27, has no backing, and casting doubt even on the existence of a local chess club. Some of the New York papers have taken up the story and are discrediting the tournament with chess players In that part of the country. New York men tried to raise $5,000 for prizes and failed. Master chess players from over the ocean were induced to come to New York, and were not notified that only about one thousand dollars would be awarded. The tournament has Just closed. With characteristic New York narrow conceit it is said that no other place could hold a tournament such as New York failed to have. The Terre Haute Chess Club has felt called upon to issue an address, which is as follows: "To the chess players of the United States: The Terre Haute Chess Club wishes to state that they have eery confidence In the assurance of Mr. Charles O. Jackson that the funds for the chess masters and minor tournament will be placed in their hands Just as soon as they receive twenty-six entrance fees to the master class and twenty to the minor class. If they do not receive the required number of entrants on or before the 27th of January, 1591, the tourney will be declared off and they will return all fees paid to . this club. If for any cause the tourney should be declared off the entrants will have their money returned to them immediately after the 5th day of February. Entrants are requested to send their money to Dr. W. H. Baker, treasurer of the Terre Haute Chess Club, No. 218 North Sixth street. "CHARLES GERSTMEYER, M. D.. "President T. II. Chess Club." Mr. Jackson Is president of the State association.

Special to th? Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind.. Jan. S. The result In regard to the mayoralty contest, to be decided by the City Council, to-morrow night, Is uncertain. Doseker, Democrat, will probably receive seven votes; Sherer, another Democrat, five, and Oakley, Republican, seven. This will not elect and may result In a deadlock. The Democrats have been all the week endeavoring to force their eouncllmen into a caucus and agree on one man for fear they will get Into a. fight and elect the Republican, as he only needs three votes to secure an election. Up to to-night they have not succeeded, and another attempt will be made to-morrow. Some of them are willing to go Into caucus, but the majority are not and pay they will not be bound by it.

Curtwrright, ex-Reprentative to the State Legislature, are opposed to Inherwood, and they, too, are in Washington attempting to pursuade President Cleveland that Isherwood's appointment wyuld split the Democratic party of Carroll county Into two sections, and that the largest section would De the one opiosed to Isherwood. This contest has been long and bitter," and whichever way it is settled It will leave the party of- Jackson and Cleveland In a badly demoralize! condition. There have been two other open and avowed candidates for the offlce besides Mr. Isherwood. namely, Hon. John Calhoun Olell and James W. Weidener. The opposition to Isherwood has been unable to agree upon one of the other two candidates, and It is generally agreed that this will prove fatal to their cause. The commission of the present postmaster expires to-day and the settlement of the appointment is exiected every hour. .vv Castle May Loe the Convention. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE.
