WILL INSIST OX THE TARIFF HILL OtTLI.XEIl IV HIS LETTER. Inthmlnit Fever Ilreukn Out on the Hen n I riRt on Churle ton Cruiser Hnll In Had Condition. WASHINGTON. July 2H. Speaker Crisp was at the White House to-day and his visit with the President caused a renewal of the comment as to the interest of the administration in supporting- the tariff position of the House. Mr. Crisp declined to say anything concerning the conference or to even Intimate whether the tariff deadlock b?tween the houses were a subject for dlycu-sion. Representatives Kllgore, of Texas, and Rynurn. of Indiana, the latter a member of the ways and means committee, also saw the President to-day. Mr. Kllgore is endeavoring to stem the t!de in the House which has set in for the last two days toward a concession to most of not all that the Senate asked. He thinks that the House will yet win the struggle, and so told the President. To his callers the President expressed the same determination shown in the letter to Chairman Wilson. It was evident to them that he was very fixed in his view of the justice of the contention he had presented, and that there was no disposition to waver fiom it except through some mutual compromise as would give the House at loast r good share of the concessions. Representative Holman. the chairman of the House Democratic caucus, says that the House Democrats will probably caucus on the tariff bill when It is returned from the next conference. He floes not think an agreement will be reached by the conferees without Instructions, and anticipates that another report of a disagreement will be returned to both houses. In that event, he says, a caucus of the House Democrats will be called to decide on instructions to be given the House conferees. To-day's proceedings in the House were dull in the extreme, and one by one tne members left their desks, until, by 3:30 o'ciock, there were not fifty members In the chamber. The conference reiort on the fortifications appropriation bill was agreed to. The day had been assigned to the committee on Interstate and foreign commerce, and some twenty or thirty bills reported from this committee were passed, among them the following: To establish a lighthouse at the entrance to Galveston harbor. Texas, at a cost of $30,000; making Oakland, Cal.. a port of entry; amending the act for the construction of a bridge across the St. lxuls river, between Minnesota and Wisconsin; to bridge the Osage river in Missouri and the Missouri river near De Witt. Mo., and to nuthorlze the St. Louis, Avogelles & Southwestern Railway Company to bridge Eayou des Glalses and Atchafalaya river in Louisiana. DREAR ISTimiAY FEVER. Men of the Hennlimton Stricken nntl the .nv' Department Alarmed. WASHINGTON, July 2C. The reason for the rather unexpected order for the return of the Rennington is the bad state of health of the officers ami crew. The Isthmian fever had appeared on board and suddenly began to spread In an alarming fashion. The surgeon of the ship contracted the disease, and it was necessary to employ a local physician to attend the sick. At present nine men are ill, and it was felt to be an unwarranted exposure of the health and lives of the ship's company to keep the vessel longer in such an unhealthy port a3 La Libertad at this season. It is positively stated here that the movement of the vessel d'oes not In any way affect the status of the refuse ?s aooard thi? vessel, and that matter will bj adjusted hereafter on its merits. Unless a determination is reached by the date of arrival of the Rennington at San Francisco the refugees will not be permitted to land. The number of these refugees has been reduced from about eighteen to four. Gen. Antonio lSzo-tu and three of his staff. Tne others were permitted to leave the t-'hlp on raelr own request, having made terms with the provisional government of Salvador. At present there Is a hitch In the negotiations looking to the disposition of Ezeta and his staff. Dr. Guzman has received his credentials as Salvadorean minister, and Is a daily caller at the State Department, prepared to present and push 'his application for Ezeta's extradition, but he has not been presented to thv President In his new capacity, nor has he been recognized. To do this would be to recognize the Salvadorian provisional government, from whom he received his credentials, and this cannot be done until a favorable report Is received from United States Minister Raker, who Is said to be 111 at Managua, in, Nicaragua. Ex-Gov. James Campbell, of Ohio, is here a? counsel for Ezeta when h'.s case comes up. gold reserve J?r.s,:ur,72r. Lower Xciw thnn Any Time SI nee the Iloud Immim. WASHINGTON. July 2G. The gold reserve to-day received another severe blow by the engagement at New York of $2,000,000 for export next Saturday. This leaves the true reserve $.".8,315,723, or $3,654,570 lower than the lowest point reached rrlor to the February bond issue. Against this reserve there were outstanding on July I $RG.6S1.0K in United silver notes and $152,DS1,417 in United States treasury notes of 1SI. making an aggregate of nearly $.".iO,(U0OO in paper currency redeemable in gold.

AY ANTED DEBS'S BLOOD

A STRIKER PICKS A (ll'ARHEL "WITH HIM l THE IJAXVILLE 8TATIO.Y. The IIIk A. It. I", President Arrived Home Lnnt MRht Meeting Culled for Aiu,. -1 to Call Strike Off. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July 26. The Chicago train was an hour late to-night, but when it arrived at 11 o'clock Eugene Debs's father, mother, two sisters and a dozen other relatives and friends were still at the depot to welcome him home. There were, perhaps, fifty other persons present to see the welcome, but no demonstration was made by his railroad friends. Debs and his father kissed each other passionately, and then the tall president of the A. R. U. took his mother In his arms and held her In close embrace for a minute. The party then walked to his residence, a few blocks away. Debs, his brother Theodore, Mrs. Debs and Mrs. Mallloux, his sister, composed the party that came from Chicago. They rode In a C. & E. I. daycoach. Mrs. Debs and Mrs. Mailloux went into the company's dining car before arriving at Danville to get supper, but in no part of the Journey did any of the party ride in the Pullman car which was attached to the train. At Danville Debs and his brother went Into the depot restaurant to get lunch. While there a big railroader came up to Debs and reached out his hand. Debs took it and the railroader held him in tight grasp. He said: "Debs, I went out on this strike because you ordered me to. Now I've lost my Job." "I did not order you out," replied Debs. "Yes, you did," the other retorted angrily. "No, I didn't." "You did. you ," and with that the railroader struck at him. Debs dodged the blow. Theodore Interfered, as did others, and Eugene returned to the car. The local A. R. U. held a meeting tonight, when it was Intended to consider a proposition to declare the strike off. This was not done, however, as It was thought best to wait until to-morrow to hear what Debs has to say. There is talk of a mass meeting to be held Saturday night to be addressed by the leader. I3ehN LoseM 1H Temper. CHICAGO. July 26. The directors of the A. R. U. to-day issued a call for a convention of the union to be held In Chicago Thursday, Aug. 2. President Debs and his associates who were released from custody yesterday were In attendance. Debs said that the convention will decide whether the strike shall be continued, extended or declared oft? nd that until the meeting Is held, no definite action will be taken. President Debj violently assailed the prosecution in the contempt proceedings. Townrd the close of his speech he said: "I am under indictment all the way from San Francisco to Pennsylvania and from St. Paul to New Orleans, but I have not forfeited my right to a free speech and if Jude Woods yesterday enunciated the law I would rather rot in jail than be a free m?.n. If I alone were concerned in this matter I would permit no defense to he mad? in my behalf for I consider it an honor to be in contempt of the court that is going to try me." President Debs said to-day: "I have seen in the newspapers mention of a new organization called the American Labor Union, and my name has been coupled with it. I have no connection with this organization whatever, official or otherwise, and any use of my name In connection with it Is wholly unauthorized." Strike LoMt In California. SAN FRANCISCO, Julj -'fi.-That the railroad strike In northern California Is believed to be nenring an end Is shown b the fact that preparations are being made to retire the State militia from the field. Company II, First United States Infantry, arrived at Oakland and was assigned to duty at the Oakland mole to-day. At Sacramento a larjre force of militia and regulars are still maintained. Troops are he'd at D'jnsmulr and Red Rluff on the Oregon branch. At Truckee and Rocklin there Is a strong force of regulars and marines. Armed guards continue to escort many of the more important trains, but of late there have ben no serious disturbances. At Sacramento nearly one thousand men are at work in the railroad shops. Tne strikers who have refused to return have been paid their waves in full. The ra!lro?.rl comoanv is still badly in need of men for many lines of particular work, but there is no longer any doubt that the strikers have lost their cause and that there is no longer any hope of a compromise. Prohibit I 'ore In n Lnhor. WASHINGTON, July 2t. The subcommittee of the committee on Immigration, which had charge of R?pre?entative Iockwood's bill to protect American lalor on the borders, reported it favorably to the full committee to-day. with several changes. The bill forbids the employment in the United States of persons who retain foreign residences, and is aimed against Canadians and Mexicans who come across the borders to work, particularly sailors on the great lakes, and Impose. h?avy penalties on their employers. The occupations of sheep herders, and shearer?, and house servants, and body servonts wer2 exempted from the bill. (eneriil Tle-l'p Threatened. NORFOLK. Va., July 2G.-The Atlantic & Danville Railroad Company has notified all its employes, including ofilcers, that their salaries will be reduced on Aug. 1. The reduction in officers salaries will average 10 per cent., while hat of the engineers and other trainmen will b much greater, and will probably cause a strike. Mr. Arthur, of the Rrotherhood of locomotive Engineers, has been telegraphed for, and will arrive In this city to-morrow. The engineers will not work at the reduced rates, and a general tie-up of the road will result unless some arrangement Is made before Aug. 1. When Troop Can He Used. WASHINGTON, July 2'i.-One result of the extensive use of troops during the recent strike has been the promulgation of a general order from the War Department intended to fully inform commanding officers how and when they may use troops. The order is an amendment of an existing order, and its significant features are found in the designation of the Interstate commerce act and thc acts in aid of the Pacific: railroads. In addition to the statute prohibiting obstractions of the mails, as acts warranting army officers in using troops. VMiinichMvii Cur Aftuln Stopped. YOUXGSTOWN, O.. July 2G.

POINT FOR NUUSEKYMEM. Sprayinerof Pear, Plum, Cherry and Apple Trees Kesults in Goodly Profits. WASHINGTON, July 26.-The division of vegetable pathology of the Department of Agriculture has published an interesting report on the effect of spraying with fungicides on the growth of nursery stock. The report was prepared by B. T. Galloway, the chief of the division, and embodies the results of three years' work in the treatment of nursery stock for the prevention of fungous diseases. The work was conducted at a nursery at Mulliken, Md., and during the three years there has been treated more than a million pear, plum, cherry and apple trees. Spraying, the report says, is looked upon by the owners of the nursery as a necessity and of equal importance to cultivation and fertilization of the soil. The report summarizes as follows the more important points brought out by the experiment: The treatment had comparatively little effect on the apples; thu Is, the untreated trees were from the beginning to the end of the experiment practically as good as the treated. The most striking results of the work ere seen in the case of the pears, cherries, plums, apples in the order named. Bordeaux mixture in every Instance has the best results, materially Increasing the growth of pears and cherries and never in any case injuring the foliage in the slightest. There was no appreciable difterence as regards growth between stocks treated early and those treated late. In other words, withholding the application of the fungicide ten to fifteen days in the spring did not materially affect the result so far as growth was concerned. The treatments did not seem to produce any marked effect on stocks so far as regards rendering them more easily budded. These results may, in a measure, be accounted for, however, by the fact that the leaf blight diseases were not so severe during the early part of the season of 1891 as usual. The cost of treating nursery stock with Bordeaux mixture need not exceed 25 cents per one thousand trees the first season. The second year the cost of the work lAill be 25 cents also, while the third year the cost will be increased to 35 or 40 cents per l.tXH), making the total cost of treating trees until the buds are two years old from 85 cents to $1 per l.OOo. The net profit resulting from the work is case of the pears and cherries ranged from $1 to $40 per 1.000 trees, the average being $13 per l,(wo. In conclusion the statement is made that the whole experiment shows that the spraying of nursery stock with fungicides is thoroughly practicable; that It results in better trees in every way, and, finally. It Includes a handsome profit. 1IEH RIVETS IiUSTEl). Perilous Condition of the Hull of Cruiser Charleston. SAN FRANCISCO. July 2. The Examiner says: "Just why there should be so much secrecy in and about the stone dry dock at the Mare island navy-yard and on board the United States cruiser Charleston, which rests on its keel within the dry dock, has been the subject of much wonder. The real cause is the fact that the keel of the cruiser has been found to bo In a bad condition, and one involving serious consequences had not the trouble been discovered by the naval constructors. The keel bolts or rlvits have become corroded and eaten away to a depth varying from one-ei-hth to one-half of an inch directly amidsnin, and in some instances is so bad that on picking away the outer, water ticm the Inner null comes dripping through uon the workmen. Corroded rivets which passed their time of usefulness can be found fully one-half the length of the keel. The exact cause of the corrosion and the reasons to be expected therefrom is a question of opinion among naval people. There re those who claim It to be due tcr inferior material used in the rivets, while others proclaim it to be the result of inattention and insufficient amount of paint to properly protect the rivets from the action of the water. Despite- all the secrecy exercised these facts have come to iirht, and the rusted, honeycombed rivets aie being bored out and being replaced by the best obtainable steel. It Is now acknowledged that the discovery made on the Charleston will cause naval inspectors to more thoroughly inspect the keel of ships on their going Into dry dock, and It is more than probable that the Charleston will be returned to the navy-yard after a short cruise, when all her keel rivets will be removed and new ones put in." Ileen Out for Two Venr. WASHINGTON, July 2'.-The official reports received at the Navy Department from the Charl?ston, now in dock at the Mare Island (Cal.) navy yard, state that the bottom is very foul and that some plates are slightly pitted. This, It is said at the department, is nothing more than might be expected' after her lon; cruise, for the vessel has been out on the Rio blockade and has not been cleaned for two years, becausa it was impossible for her to reach a dock while in service. The report to the department says that th? vessel is in good condition generally, and In need oniy of scraping and painting. PAKKHUKST'S VICTIMS.

THE CLEVELAND MYTH. Gormau's Speech Leaves Little of ItSome Insiile Politics. Holland's New York Letter, In Philadelphia Press. Scarcely any surprise is expressed that Mr. Gorman should have made this speech, and that is, perhaps, one of the most interesting of the developments which this fierce battle has produced here. For it has long been felt that the curious, ir-. rational and almost erratic course of Mr. Cleveland must sooner or later cause a breach which would be publicly exposed. I heard such comment as long ago as the month of April, after Cleveland's second inauguration. Some of those men here who had worked with zeal, with patience, enduring much, and from Cleveland himself, for his nomination and election, met him at the White House some five or sx weeks after his inauguration, and tney came back to New Y'ork telling queer tales of their experience. It seemed to them then that the President was in very great danger by reason of his overwhelming and magnificent self-confidence and self-esteem. One of those New York politicians, who for thirty years has been a leader in Democratic councils, and at times a powerful one. said to me after his return from Washington, having had a long and very friendly chat with the President: "Mr. Cleveland is in greater 'danger of serious disaster than he has ever been, ana tnis aanser is caused by a strange conception of his own power and influence, which makes it imjosslble to see clearly, justly, and will make it Impossible for him to deal fairly either with his party or its leaders, unless he overcomes this weakness. Those who have been near to Mr. Cleveland have long understood that his greatest peril lay in that weakness. Many of us have put up with something of humiliation, something of shame, because of that quality of Cleveland's, but I do not think that the strong men of the party at Washington will bear with it through his administration. There will be a break, and when it comes there will be a clash that will test the President as he has never yet been tested. Those Democrats who were at the time familiar with the Democratic national campaign of 1892 and some of those Republicans who have since then learned something of that strange canvass do not now say that the trouble has been due entirely to Mr. Cleveland's intense, stupendous egotism. The real trouble that has now been brought to a head began with the sham and the shame of the canvass of 1802. No man knows that better than Mr. Gorman. He entered into that campaign with a sense of suspicion of every man who was closely associated with Mr. Cleveland. He came to this city and faced Mr. Whitney, who was then the rldus Achates of Cleveland, and indicated his belief that the campaign was begun in trickery and would be conducted in selfishness and in treachery by saying to Mr. Whitney that he must fchaie the responsibility of the campaign. Whitney shook his head, and with that smile than which th?t of no Jesuit was ever sweeter, replied to Gorman, saying: "No, 1 fouKht the tight at Chicago; I went through the preliminary canvass, and now it is ror you and your associates to carry on the campaign." Then Gorman, pressing Whitney further into the corner and looking at him with stony stare they stood there one Jesuit facing another for a moment, each understanding the other, and said: "You will go cn with that executive committee and you will take part in this campaign, or I go back to Raltimore and wash my hands of it. I don't propose to have the responsibility for the defeat of Mr. Cleveland, If it comes, hetiped upon the shoulders of thowe of us who were opposed to his nomination." And the Jesuit of the Senate chamber won; Mr. Whitney bowed his head and then went to the committee room and entered upon his work. It may have been the recollection of that early episode of the canvass which caused Gorman, with Conkling-llke sarcasm and satire, to make mention in his speech of yesterday of the colossal Canadian trust for whore benefit free coal would be unquestioned. Had Mr. Gorman been willing to tell to the Senators some of the experiences of the canvass he might have unfrocked the President with even greater dramatic display than was the case when he, beckoning to one after another of the members of the finance committee, persuaded them to arise in due order and make positive accusation of duplicity, hypocrisy and treachery against the President. Mr. Gorman could have told the story of Don Dickinson's relations to the campaign, the same clumsy Jesuit who Is believed to have induced the President to write the Wilson letter, the same flighty and irresponsible genius of meddling who did much to persuade the President to look with an evil eye upon the republic of Hawaii, the same intriguer who, when Cord Meyer. Jr.. told him at a dinner at the Metropolitan Club, last winter, that there would be no tariff bill, smiled a diplomatic smile and answering in effect, "Well, we shall see about that," and then Intimated that the President would be found to be stronger than Congress. Dickinson was the man who suggested the union with the Populists and Socialists and Anarchists, and everv other fungus growth of politics in the West whereby the Democracy could gain electoral votes or the Republicans be prevented from getting them, and it was he who persuaded Mr. Cleveland to view with kindly consideration these suggestions. Gorman did not like those politics tien and he has not liked them since. Rut he was not amazed to see Mr. Cleveland leaning warmly toward such efforts, for he knew Mr. Cleveland of old. It was Gorman who. in the committee room the day after Mr. Cleveland delivered his Lenox Lyceum speech, spoke of that speech with a sneer. Mr. Gorman is not immaculate in his politics, but he does not believe in unnecessary hypocrisy He knew that Mr. Cleveland went from the Lenox Lyceum platform after delivering that speech in which he denounced the use of money in campaigns to a meeting of some of the Democratic leaders to consider the proposition to use money in Colorado Kansas. Nebraska and other States that the fusion between the Populists and the Democrats might be perfected, or. as in the case of Colorado, that the Democratic ticket might be withdrawn. It was In the fall of 1W that Mr. Gorman was informed that the Roston syndicate, with that astute business man, Henrv M. Whitney, brother of William C. and with Whitney. Lamont. Johnnie Russell and Fome others as members of it, were favoring the Democratic ticket by wo-k and by conti Ibutions in the expectation that through Cleveland's influence Nova Scotia coal should come into the United States free. Then Gorman said nothing, but after election lie is reported to have fald: " There will le no free coal as long as I am a member of the Senate." Mr. Gorman also knew perfectly well in 1S"J2 he yesterday admitted that he knew it that Mr. Cleveland had made pledges to the sugar raises and refiners of Louisiana that sugar should be protected, and Mr. Gorman also knew perfectly well that the candidate was well aware that the Sugar Trust. Individually at least, had contributed large sums for campaign purposes In Connecticut. New York. Nebraska and one or two other States, ani that Mr. Cleveland was as well aware of the obligation, implied or explicit, then entered Into as Gorman. Whitney or the members of the trust. Gaining the presidency as the result of such an ill-assorted combination of conflicting interests, no man knew better than Mr. Gorman that nothing but most delicate treatment, subtle and crafty compromise, gentle conciliation, could ever hold these Influences together. He has been afraid of Mr. Cleveland ever since the tariff bill was under consideration by the ways and means -committee. So far as Is reported here Gorman has never asserted that Cleveland is knowingly, deliberately, consciously treacherous, but Gorman believes that his intellectual and moral qualities are of such curious combination and so completely dominated by his abnormal self-esteem that he really believes that he H capable of no deviation from intellectual honesty and Incapable of inconsistency or treachery to any man or principle. The seels of mutiny sowed In an army and allowed to ripen unchecked are not more certain to produce open revolt than were the influences which prevailed in the campaign of lSf2. especially when the victorious representative of those influences is such an abnormal Intellectual and moral force as Grover Cleveland.

Catholics at South Amboy Capture a School Trustee Election. SOUTH AM! ROY, N. J.. July 26. Much ill feellns has been engendered here by the school election. The election was the first held under the new law and a full board was elected. The trouble has rown out of the action of the priest in charge of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, who, it is said, ordered the women of his parish to vote for the candidates of their religious faith. About the time the polls opened the Catholic women met in St. Mary's school hall. From there they went to the polling places in blocks of four. All were provided with ballots. The Protestants knew nothing of this until the women began to vote in large numbers, always four in a squad. They soon found out what was going on. For the rest of the time the polls remained opened there was lively work on the part of Protestants to overcome the advantage obtained by the Catholics. The wives, daughters and sw eethearts of the Protestants were hurried to the polling place as soon as possible. Many of them were called from bed to cast the ballot they were entitled to. It was too late when the work of the Protestants commenced to avail them much. The count showed that the Catholics had elected six of the nine trustees. The Protestants claPn that they will contest the election on the ground that many of the women who voted were not of the required age. It is understood that prominent members of the Junior order A. O. U. W. will enjoin the board fronv entering into the discharge of their duties. This will bring the matter into court on quo warranto proceedings. Cleveland' Doulile-DeaHugr. New York Commercial Advertiser. Rut while the fact does not in any -xay break the force of Senator Gorman's fierce arraignment, it should not be forgotten that he and his associates created the oppor tunity for this ill-seeming duplicity. They debated the Senate bill in the dark. They compromised the claims of contending Sen ators in secret. There is no public record of the motives that underlie the amendments, no tracing of the give-and-take principle by which they declare that they were actuated. If in the gloom of this star chamber system of law-making they allowed a slippery politician to make his own case unperceived they are as much to blame as he is. No doubt Mr. Cleveland ha tricked the tinkers and is making Ftage thunder out of the purloined tin; but they had no business to turn out the light and let him do it. Judfce linker Decision. New York Evening" Post. The decision of Judpe Raker, of the United States Circuit Court for Indlaaa, in the case of the Lake Krie Ac Western Railroad Company vs. Bailey Is the most comprehensive and exact statement of the rights of workingmen and the paramount rights of society that the labor troubles have given rise to. It stands in respect of Judicial opinions on the same plane witli Senator Davis's speech In public discussion. It is replete with, sympathy for the poor man, but firm in its maintenance of thj right of the State to exist. Society cannot exist unless the right of every man to labor and to enjoy the fruit of his labor Is protected and upheld. 200,000 for Cotton U poI tlon. WASHINGTON.
