BATTLE TO BEGIN TO-DAY

3Ir. Gorman Notifies All Absent Senators to Be On Hand.

Mr. 3I11I3 Delivers a Radical Free Trade Speech He Thinks No Northern Industry Should Be Protected.

Special to the Tndlanapolls Journal. WASHINGTON'. April 21.-The real fight over the tariff Mil comes up In the Senate tomorrow. Chairman Voorhees realizing his uselessness, announces on the very eve of battle tha.t he will go to the hot spring of Virginia shortly in search of muchneeded rest. Senator Harris will take charge of the leadership of debate and Senator Gorman assumed command of fhe democratic forces to oppose Senator Aldrich's strategic tactics for delay. A member of the Democratic "steering: committee," of which Senator Gorman is chairman, announced, defiantly, to-day, that the majority will pas3 a tariff bill by the middle of May, even if th3 Senate rules must be changed. Senator Gorman's tlrst order to the Democratic Senators In the shape of a personal letter, was issued, this evening, as follows: "My Dear Senator I take the liberty of reminding you that by an unanimous agreement of the Senate we will, at 1 o'clock to-morrow, begin consUeration of the revenue bill by paragraph. The members of the committee on tlnance who have immediate charge of the measure intend to push consideration of the bill as rapidly as possible. To enable them to do so it will be necessary for every Democratic Senator to be present in the chamber at 1 o'clock to-morrow and to remain within call at all times during consideration of the bill. In view of the further fact that we have only forty-four Democratic Senators, it is absolutely necessary that whenever a Senator shall be paired a reservation shall be made of the ri?ht to vote whenever his vote U necessary to make a quorum of the Senate. We therefore request that you will so Inform any Senator with whom you may be jalred. It Is the further Intention, as I am informed, by th.3 Senators in charge of the bill, to extend the hours for consideration of th3 measure. To speed consideration and secure the final passage of th? bill It will require the active cooperation of every Democratic Senator." According to the agreement entered Into between the Democratic and Republican Senators the reading of the tariff bill by Caragrapha for amendment will probably egln at 1 o'clock to-morrow. The programme now does net include any preIjared Fpeech. but if there should 1. opportunity for one, either Senator Dolph or Senator Quay will probably proceed, as both have unfinished speech on hand. It Is considered as quite probable the day will be largely taken up in settling details, one of the most important of which will 1k as to the limitation of hours of debate. "When Senator Mills finished his speech today the Senate did not proceed with the Mil. a the Republicans understood the Democrats were to consume the day, as notice of two speeches had been given. As a way out an executive session was held and shortly after the Senate adjourned. "When the doors were opened a group of Republicans known as the steering committee of that partv and Senator Gorman were holding a conference. Amon? the Republicans were Senators . Aldrich. Allison. Washburn and Mitchell. Propositions and counter propositions were made, but no agreement was reached, and it was understood when the conference- broke up that no acreement will be attempted in the Senate, but that consideration of the bill would be besun at 1 o'clock, and the U-3-publlcans informed Mr. Gorman that thjdr side of tha chamber would Insist on a quorum when any votft was taken on the amendments to the bill. Senator Gorman wanted the Republicans to- agree that consideration of the bill should continue until 5 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 matter remain3 to be settled later. The Republicans had been Informed bv Senator Harris that only for this week could any arrangement bo made looking to closing each day's session at 6 o'clock, intimating that after that time the hours mlsht be further lengthened. It is probable that the Republicans will deb:tte the bill each day until there is a lack of a quorum apparent, when they will allow a vote to corn2 up on some amendment to show the absence of a quorum. Senator Gorman's notification is Intended to meet Just such exigencies . a the Republicans expect to occur, and whloh will, no doubt, be manifest every, niirht about 5 o'clock unless the majority are particularly diligent. Senator Harris rays the bill must pass by the 1st of June, while the Republican leaders say that the date is at least two months too early. The Democratic Senators continued their conference to-day. with a view to reaching on agreement upon the tariff bill whereby It can be so amended as to make sure of the solid Democratic vote In the Senate. The friends of the bill feel that it is imttortant ro have the measure receive the full party vote, and they also want the hearty support of the entire party in having it passed as speedily as possible. They wish to get it out of the way of the fall campaign. In order to know what to cb they have made a canvass of the di?3 it stied Senators and think they have arrived at the facts and ar- now prepared to make the changes ..dch will accomplish the purpose they have In mind. Among the Senators consulted were Messrs. Hill.' Murphy, Smith, Gorman. Gibson and Ilrioe. They find these six to be? opposed 'to the income tax and to the present duty on sugar. They will probably make one or two exceptions in granting tne demands of the discontented Senators. They ask. for Instance, that the income tax be stricken out entirely. This request will hardly be conceded, but this part of the blli will be materially modified. Not only will the committee be found willing to reduco the limit of income to be taxed and the amount of taxation, but they will also be agreeable to tlx a time when the tax shall cease to be Imposed. This they will be willing to do on the theory that a few ycirs test would prove the ropulariry or unwpularitv Df the tax, and they think that if it should prove popular it can be continued at rhe pleasure of the voters and of Congress. It is not probable no-, however, that the ch impion.s of the bill will consent to the striking out of this paracraph. Senator Tower to-day introduced an amendment to the tariff bill re-enacting the provisions of the McKinley tariff if they apply to wool, except that the rates are changed. The amendment provides a duty of 7 cents per pound on wool of the first class, S cents on second class, i cents on -third class worth 9 cents an 1 5 cents on third clasv exceeding 9 cents in value. This is a reduction of about one-third from the McKinley bill rates, and Senator Tower says his reasons for reducing th. rates are thnt he hopes to get Democratic support for his H.mendment.

SHXATOIl MILLS'S SPKI2CII. The Texnn Would Wipe Out Kverr ."Northern Industry If He Could. WASHINGTON, April 21 There was a small number of visitors in the galleries of the Senate when the Vice Tresident took tls seat on this, the last day when

debate on the tariff bill proceeds, before it Is taken up and read by paragraphs. On motion of Senator Pettigrew, the Senate pa f fed a bill to extend the time for building a bridge across tne Missouri river at Yankton. S. D. The morning hour having expired, the tariff bill was laid before the Senate. Even at this time the attendance in the galleries to hear Senator Mills's speech was a very small one. A beautiful bunch of longstemmed yellow, red and white, roses was laid on Mr. Mills's desk, but was immediately removed to his committee room. Tromptly at 1 o'clock Senator Mills took the Moor. At the outset he declared that legislators often had to make an election between two parliamentary measures, neither of which meets their approval. It must necessarily be so, for no man could frame a measure to meet the approval of every one. Every act of a legislature must be a compromise measure, and no act mom so than one regulating taxes. This bill does not meet my approval." said he, "and I doubt if it entirely meets the approval of any gentleman on this side of the chamber. Rut. such as it l?r it will have my hearty support." . He might want to offer some amendments to the bill, but whether or not he was able to secure their adoption, he would bow to the will of his party and , , C tne measure as they ordained it should be. It was strict!-- a party im-as-"fe. and had been a party measure from ine foundation of the government, and ;romthe foundation and organization of the Democratic party. If he had been chesen to construct this bill and had had tne forty-four members on the Democratic siie of the chamber In accord with his . tNVS he 'uld have constructed it on far different lines. He would not have left coffee on the free list, arid would not have i!u. cnon' cal arid, iron on the dutiable list. He would put on the free list metals, wool, cotton fibres, iron and steel in pig and all yarns everything which required to be manufactured. He would do this in orrier that the maunfaeturers of the country might manufacture their goods at th lowest possible price, po that they could go into the market of the whole world. The Republican party, Mr. Mills said, was to provide a home market, but there were five billion dollars' worth of goods made in this country. Where were the people to come from to consume them? In order to carry out the Republican policy, people would have to be imported to consume our surplus agricultural products. It would require lll.OifO.OOo people to consume these products, and would require the importation of Chinese, Japanese. Singaiese, Maltese and chimpanzees to Join Coxey's army. (Laughter.) "Emancipate our people," he said. "Give them a chance to show their skill, their genius as a natural and heaven-born right. Give them back the ocean, and then the workingmen will not be coming to Washington to Implore the government to do something for them." Their proper recourse was not to come to Washington, anyhow; it was to turn back home and apical to the ballot box. Mr. Mills devoted a large part of his speech to a discussion and defense of the Income tax. He lauded the action of the committee in reporting a tax on incomes. Why should wealth not be taxed, he said. The object of all Just governments was to secure to all their subjects all the rights with which they were endowed by nature, and protection in the enjoyment of those rights in which they were guaranteed by their government. "I would like to know," he said, "on what principle the owners of millions insist that they should not be taxed." He said that the owners of wealth sild the income tax was inquisitive; it was anarchistic and socialistic to lay a tax of 2 per cent, on all incomes, but when a poor fellow wants a shirt and fs taxed 100 per cent, for it, nothing is said alout Its being socialistic and anarchistic. He enunciated the principle that a tax should be collected in proportion to the taxpayer's ability to pay it, and that depended on the amount of protection he received. It was said that the Income tax was unjust and Iniquitous, and the Senator from New York (Mr. HHP, in his speech a few days ago, had called it by all kinds of vile names; yet. when he was Governor of the State of New York for six years, he had never told the Legislature that the income tax which was on the statute books of the State was unjust anu iniquitous. It was useless to denounce the income tax as li iquitous, unjust, etc.; it was useless to make any pophistlcal remarks about the difficulty of collecting the tax. The law wa3 going to be passed, he declared, emphatically, if not by thl3 Congress, then by the next. The forcible way In which the Senator made this statement elicited ap-. plause from the galleries, which was checked by the gavel of the presiding oi!lcor. "Mr. Tresident," continued the Senator, earnestly, "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 iass it we must. We must not only pass it, but we must stop talk ing about it. The American people demand it. Thev sent us her? 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. I do not care whether the traditions of this bodv are observed or not. I am in favor of limiting debate. In the early days of the country there was no such thing as filibustering; but it is here now In full force. I say that if forty-four Senators on Xhli side of the chamber and the forty-fifth in the presiding officer's chair were of the same opinion as I, I would pass this bill in forty-ei:;ht hours. The people want this Mil passed; they do not want to wait until they ara starving to death; they do not want to wait until the whole country is paralyzed, but they want to do It now. Then the business prosperity of the country will revive; then the condition of things will be changed; nisht will disappear, darkness and dlstrss will leave the land, prosperity will come to our borders, light and sunshine will lighten up all our faces and the country will once more resume its career In prosperity." The close of Mr. Mills's speech was preeted by a hearty round of applause from the galleries, and his Democratic colleagues crowded around him to extend their congratulations. It had been expected that the speech would be much longer. It consumed Just two hours and fifteen minutes. The Republicans, who expected the Democrats would consume the entire day. were not prepared to go on. Accordingly, on . motion of Mr. Harris, the Senate -went Into executive session at 3:3, and at 4:10 adjourned. OWEILL S1LECHD.

Ordered ly Speaker Crlnp to Take IIIn Sent Second-Clas .Mull .Matter. WASHINGTON, April 24. Mr. Hepburn still persists In his determination to hang on the flank of the Democratic majority, and. by constantly harassing it, force consideration of pension bills reported from the Friday night sessions. Again.' at the opening of the session of the House to-day, he objected to the approval of the Journal, and forced a roll call. The journal was approved 232 to 0. The Senate joint ' resolution authorizing the laying of a bronze tablet to commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of the laying cf the corner stone of the Capitol was taken up and passed on motion of Mr. Rynum, of Indiana. An interesting little row was precipitated at this juncture by Mr. Rartholdt, of Missouri. It was an echo of the O'Neill-Joy election contest case. Mr. Bartholdt claimed the floor as a question of privilege, and sent to the Clerk's desk to have read a series of resolutions passed t-t a mass meeting in St. Louis, last Saturday, declaring Charles G. Joy to have been Illegally deprived of his seat as a Representative from the Eleventh Missouri district. Refore the first "whereas" had been read the nature of the resolution was developed, and Mr. McMlllin raised the point that they did not Involve a question of privilege. The Speaker held that as the O'Neill election case had been adjudicated Mr. Rartholdt's resolution could have no privileged status. Mr. O'Neill, the subject of the attack, demanded the floor as a matter of privilege, and was proceeding to reply to tha imputation that he had obtained the scat to which he was not entitled, when Mr. Wise raised the point that Mr. O'Neill was also out of order. The Speaker sustained the rxilnt, but Mr. O'Neill would not sit down, le harangued the House, while the Speaker was vainly endeavoring to restore order. He offered to submit the question to a special committee and abide by its decision. At last the Speaker was forced to order Mr. O'Neill to take his seat. The pending amendment was that of Mr. Kyle to strike out the appropriation for the

fast Southern mail. Mr. Kyle continued his remarks in opposition to the appropriation. Messrs. Meyer, Robertson and Hooker warmly supported the appropriation. Mr. Kyle's amendment to strike the appropriation from the bill was defeated. An amendment providing a limitation of ten j-rnrs upon the payment of money orders and for the destruction of money order tiles at the end of that time was adopted. The committee then -rose. Hy arrangement, after the bill was reported to the House. Mr. Quigg was given three-quarters of an hour to oppose an amendment adopted in the committee cf the whole, making all publications purporting to be issued ieriodiCHlly and to subscribers, but which are merely books or reprints of books, whether they be Issued complete or in parts, bound or unbound, sold by subscription or otherwise, subject to posting at third-class rates when transmitted throusrh the malls. The amendment affects seaside library publications and books (reprints) given as premiums with co'intrv newspaper subscriptions, etc. Mr. Fickier, to whom Mr. fjiiigg yielded a portion of his time, opposed the amendment in the Interest of cheap literature for the farmers. Messrs. Hopkins of Illinois, Daniels, Ringham and O'Neil also made speeches against the amendment. Mr. Henderson, of North Carolina, defended the amendment as a step toward purging the mails of the enormous amount of second-class matter wdth which they were cumbered. The amendment, on a vote, was stricken from the bill-2G to 1S3. The bill was then passed. Mr. Campbell entered a motion to reconsider the vote by which the race bill was defeated yesterday, and, at 5 o'clock, the House adjourned. A TJIE0S0PHICAL ROW.

Probable Split in the Society Over tho Sacred Mahntmas Question. SAN FRANCISCO, April 21.-The delegates to the annual convention of the American Theosophical Society have practically concluded their business to-day and are visiting points of interest about the city. This afternoon they were at the midwinter exposition. Notwithstanding the vindication of General Secretary Judge, who had been charged with "monkeying" wdth the sacred rights and privileges of the Mahatmas, it i3 the opinion of many of the delegates that the trouble in the society Is not by any means ended, and that the high priests of the order, who are under the inlluence to a very large degree of the Hindoo theosophlsts, will arrogate to themselves th'; authority of a supreme tribunal and possibly suspend the American section from full communion. In this event there is likely to be a split in the order. It is a fact that many of the most prominent members of the society in this country have for some time been restless because nil th? Mahatmas are domiciled In India. They are understood to contend that there is no reason why there should not be American Mahatmas. and. In fact. It Is strongly suspected that they are themselves willing to be regarded as perfected men and organs of theosophical philosophy. It is therefore not unlikely that the theosophlsts will be called uion to deal with a division In their own ranks, and that an opposition to the philosophers of the mountains of India will be started on this side of the Atlantic.

Confessed to Murder. GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., April 24. The mystery of the McKendrick murder, which occurred here Jan. 17, has been solved by the confession of Henry Frame, who was arrested near Libertyville, 111., where he was working on a farm. Frame was brought here Saturday night and kept concealed until last evening, when he was arraigned In court and pleaded guilty, giving all the particulars of the crime; telling how he and Charles Ma card bound and gagged the old woman, took $600' from her lx)som, and left her to die of suffocation. Frame says he was led into the crime by Macard, whom h met In Chicago a month before the murder.

ClinrKert with Criminal Negligence. MONTEREY. Cab. April 21. The coroner's Investigation into the cause of the wreck of the steamship Eos Angeles at Toint Sur, on Saturday night, has resulted in a verdict charging Roger Ryfogel, the third officer, with criminal negligence and carelessness. He was taken into "custody and will be tried for manslaughter. The testimony before the coroner's Jury showed that Ryfogel had changed the ship's course without consulting the captain, doing so after Captain Iceland had particularly ordered that he be called from his bunk to direct the steamer's course when the Point Sur light should be reached.

Attempted Murder In Court. NEW YORK, April 21. Three shots from a revolver were fired to-day In the Court of Common I'ieas, and in the presence of Judge Rischoff. Not one of them took effect. The shooter is Michael Donnelly, an iron merchant, of No. 32 Leroy street, and the man at whom the shots were fired is P. J. McArdle. Donnelly was the plaintiff in a case against McArdle arising over some partnership accounting. In court, when the case was called, Donnelly suddenly pulled a revolver, pointed it at McArdle, and fired three times before he could be disarmed and arrested. McArdle was uninjured.

An Editor Nearly 50 Years Says Hood's Sarsaparilta Is a Sterling and Valuable Remedy.

Mr. E, A. Xorrla Fltcliburg, Mass.

A man who has had nearly half a century cf experienco in newspaper life is certainly capable of Judging -between tho valuable and the worthless. Hence we highly value the following statement from Mr. Erasmus A. Tcrri3 of Fitchburg, for nearly 50 years editor of Massachusetts and New Hampshire newspapers: " C. I.

I accomplished this with comparative ease, being out ia tho Unusually Severe Veather of winter, working each day, and have been able to do a fair day's work every day since.
