Washington, Angnst 7.—The debate on th* tariff bill in the Senate yesterday afternoon took an interesting turn when Mr. Gormon quoted Mr. Blaine’s remark (in the Frye letter) that within the ooufines of the bill there waa not a single item or line thst would open the market to the agricultural products of the United States. Mr. Frye replied: “The Secretary of State has been quoted several times in tbe Senate m arguing that the McKinley bill did not in any of its features open up markets. Now, ths Secretary of State was dealing in that letter entirely with foreign and not home markets. And it will be clear to any Senator who has read the letter that he intended to have said, and expected to have been understood, that in the McKinley bill there was nothing to open up foreign markets. I do not understand that in a protective tariff there is an especial to create a home infinitely more than any foreign market. And that was, undoubtedly, tbe understanding of the Secreinle

nc

to open up foreign markets, and he desired to have something put in it, in the way of reciprocity, by which the foreign markets might be opened up.” Mr. Butler asked: “Then I understand that the Secretary of State was in favor of opening up foreign markets to American manuiac-

turers?”

Mr. Frye answered: “Undoubtedly he was in lavor ot some reciprr cal relations with the republics south of us, by which the market of tbe United States might be extended to

them.”

Class D—Prizes $2,600—Canton Van Wert, Van Wert, O.; Canton Lincoln’s Home, Springfield, I1L; Canton T. W. Kiser, Winchester, Ind., and Canton Thompson, Sullivan, Ind. Last night abont five thousand people gath ered on the lake front to witness tbe conferring of the degree of chivalry and tbe display Of fire-works. There were a number of Patriarchs candidates tor the degrees as well as one civilian, Mayor Cregier. The degrees were conferred by four young belles of Paducah, Ky.—tbe Misses Sallie Hobbs, Ida Roberts, Mattie Roberts and Kate Roundtree. They were attired in white, with black velvet embroidered capes, faced with scarlet silk. Tne first named lady fastened the golden spurs to tbe heels of the candidates’ boots, the second presented the chevalier’s sword, the third the steel gauntlet and the fourth a silken glove. A badge was then placed by a little girl on tbe breasts of the newly-made chevaflers. The display of fire-works was in sixteen divisions, and is claimed to have been the most elaborate ever given in the country. Tbe general headquarters have been deluged with dispatches from cantons that bad been expected, saying that they bad been held np by the railroads and would not come at all. Especially was this the case with the Pacific coast delegations and those due from New York, Indiana, Ohio and Canada. In every instance the Patriarchs found, when upon the eve of starting, that the rates had been advanced several dollars abqre those at first quoted them. As a result, the cantonment, so tar as numbers are concerned, is a fizzle. At seven first-class hotels there were registered bnt 980 Odd Fellows.

gain asked: “Then, in short, he

was in favor of opening foreign markets?” Mr. Frye replied: “He was in lavor of resorting to some measure by which the nigh duties imposed by the South American republics on products of the United Bt&tes might be reduced and removed, thus enabling

us to send our goods to those markets.”

Mr. Butler persisted: “Then he was in favor of opening up foreign markets to American

manulacturers?”

Mr. Frye again replied: “He was in fovor of opening foreign markets to the American producers of provisions and breadstuffs.” “Not of the manufacturers of thecountry?”

asked Mr. Butler.

“He sai Mr. Frye.

South American rep 1

open their markets to all our manuiactured goods, because they depend entirely on their import and export duties for money to carry

on their governments.’’

Mr. Gray spoke of “the remarkable gloss put by Mr. Frye on Mr. Blaine’s letter,” and he went on to read extracts from the letter to show that Mr. Frye’s interpretation of it waa

not the natural or correct one.

Mr. Frye stated, in reply to Mr. Gray, that Mr. Blaine had criticised the bill in simply one regard—the provision making sugar free. In his judgment, Mr. Blaine had simply criticised it because the free-sugar provision was not accomnanied with a provision that would open up the markets of Soutb American countries to the products-of American farms. That was a criticism which he himself would have made. There was no other criticism made by Mr. Blaine on the McKinley bill, and he himself sympathized strongly in that criticism. Mr. Gibson denied the statement that Mr. Blaine's letter reterred to sugar alone, and asserted that it re.'erred also to bides and wool and ores. The Secretary of State stood committed, Mr. Gibson said, to the broad policy jof reciprocity with South American

and Central American States.

Mr. Morgan withdrew his amendment in order to allow Mr. Gorman to ofler one; and Mr. Gorman thereupon moved to amend by reducing the duty on iron ore from 75 to 50 cents per ton. Mr. Plumb moved to amend tbe amendment by making the rate 60 cents per ton. Mr. Gorman accepted tbe amendment. The amendment was rejected, yeas, 21; nays, 29. Messrs. Dawes. Ingalls, Paddock and Plumb voted aye, with the Democrats, and Mr. Payne was paired with a Democrat, Mr. Barbour. The rest of paragraph 127 was agreed to as reported by the finance committee. Mr. Vance moved to reduce the duty

There was a full attendance of the members. The bill is still held in confidence, bat one of the minority says that save in the matter of change of expression, chiefly in tbe way of reducing its length, the bill as it passed the House is tbe one proposed by the majority.

Dr. Southwick Says that It was a Scientific Success.

Buffalo, August 7.—Dr. A. P. Southwick, father ot the electrical executicn law, said today in an interview: “I feel jnst as I have always felt on this matter. There is nothing against the system at all, and the fact is there has been a great deal of senseless sensational talk about tbe execution. For instance, the big story in regard to the sickening spectacle of froth, saliva, etc., from Kemroler’s month is ridiculous.

Mr. McPherson stated that the average duty in the paragraph was nine-tenths of a cent per

quality—not charcoal iron—and the duty proposed was altogether too high. He moved to amend by striking out tbe rates per pound and inserting a uniform rate of 50 per cent, ad valorem. He quoted latest prices of English iron of the lame descriptions and qualities and said that the doty proposed in the bill was equal to from 65 to 80 per cent, ad va-

Mr. Aldrich remarked that a provision for that purpose was made in another paragraph. Mr. Paddock appealed to Mr. Aldrich, in the interest of agriculture, to agree to a reduction of at least 1.10 cents per pound on structural

Mr. Aldrich barkened to the appeal, and on his motion the rate was redneed to 810 cents per pound, Mr. Vance's amendment to make it 6.10 having been rejected.

The letter states that the ex-Minister of tbe Interior Of Ban Salvador, who wa* seized by tbe Salvadorian soldiers on the steamer Acapnlco, at La Libertad,escaped the next day and boarded the steamer Starbuck at La Libertad, bound south. At Awaaila the fugitive was transferred to the Pacific mail steamer City of Panama. At La Union, a port in San Salvador, the soldiers attempted to board the steamer to search her. Captain Clark commanded them to disarm before coming on beard, and would not allow them to take any passengers ofi'.

* Celman is Finally Fired. Buenos Ayres, August 7.—Celman’s determination to remain in the Presidential chair did not receive support. Dardo Rocha’s attempt to form a Ministry at the instigation of the Celmsnites was a complete fiasco. Senor Rocha, at a secret session, declared that tbe Congress must sit until the ouestion of tbe Government was settled. A committee of members waited upon President Celman and gave him two hours in which to resign. They threatened that in the event of his refusal to resign the Congress would impeach him. Celman immediately sent a message to Congress recounting his services and onering to sacrifice himself to the weliare of the country. History, be said, would do him justice. The Chambers accepted Celman s resignation by a vote ot 61 to 22. Pellegrini has assumed the responsibility of forming a new Ministry. It is expected that Senor* Metre, Costa, Grimstiago and Levalle will enter the new Cabinet. Public confidence is reviving and gold is quoted at 170. The Passing ot Celman. London, August 7.—A dispatch to the Times from Buenos Ayres sayes: Alter reading in the Chamber of Deputies of President Celman’s message, tendering his resignation of the presidency, General Roca invited the members to express their opinions as to the advisability of accepting it. General Mansella opposed its acceptance on the ground that snch action by the Chamber would be an admission of the triumph of the revolution and of Buenos Ayres over the

▲ Picnic For the Kxprera Enjoyment of YounKstem.

OUNG PEOPLE all knew days ago that tbe Model Clothing Company would to-day give its sixth annual poor children’s picnic at Blue River Park. Not withstanding the cloudy and threatening weather (which developed into bright sunshine), about two thousand children went. The picnic was under the management of Mr. J. G. Kirkwood. and through him everything was conducted in an orderly and satisfactory manner. Messrs.

: J V Max Rosenthal, Wm. Tyler and Gus. Simonsen, of Th* Model,

assisted Mr. Kirkwood.

At 7 o’clock this morning the proce**ion formed, bnt many eager children were on band by 6 o'clock. About 8 o’clock the proceasion, headed by Fullgraff’a band, started for the depot. The line waa nearly two blocks in length, the children marching two abreast. All kinds and conditions of children were prerent, ranging in six* from two feet to five, and in color from the fairest blonde down to mahogany and th* darkest imaginable ebony. When the gate* at the station were opened, there was a rush. Some of the boys, more imps* 1 tient than the rest, conld not await the unlocking of the oar doors, but scrambled ! hastily through the window*. They were. [ however, soon quieted, and good order reigned again. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton ; Railroad had drawn up on the track nine | coaches and a baggage oar. But they being ; insufficient to accommodate tbe great num- ! her, another coach was added. At 8:25 the . train pulled out, amid the merry shoots of the happy children. At 9:26 tne train arrived at Blue River Park, where the delighted children sprang off of th*

TWO WHO WERE LEFT.

The baggage car bad been packed nearly to the ceiling with edibles. The larder included 6,000 sandwiches, 6,000 cakes and 100 gallons of

ice cream.

About noon lunch was announced. This word bad a magical effect, and children from all portions of the ground came flocking towards the stand where the provisions were kept. Mr. Kirkwood and his assistants arranged the children in long rows, in a seated

The children were

posture, upon the grass. The children were placed witn their backs agaiust each other, two together. Provisions were then passed aronnd, each one getting as much as his or

her heart could desire.

Everything upon the grounds went off in a pleasant and satisfactory manner. At 6 ; o’clock this afternoon the train will leave the ; grounds for this city, and to-night, no doubt, tbe givers ot the picnic and those who enjoyed it will sleep with clear consciences, knowing that they aid their best to enjoy themselves and cause others to do the same. The picnic was a rousing success, and will be remembered by those who were present up to the very hour of next year’s picnic. ANTI-STRIKE MEASURES.

A Lineman Deceives* 500 Volt*—A Policeman’s Heroic Capture.

John Barry, one of the linemen of the Brush Company, was at work on a pole in Fairview Park yesterday evening, and accidently placed himself in a short circuit. The fall strength of the electric street car wire struck him and jerked him from the pole, but in falling he caught a step and saved himself from Injury. The strength of the electric line Is 600 volts, probably not sufficient to cause death or serions injury. Mamie Matz, seven years of age, fell out of a wagon at the crossing of Union and Palmer streets last night, and the wheels passed over her body casing internal injuries. Her parents live on Blake street. Albert Burns, aged three, the son of William F.

Fletcher attended him. Yesterday afternoon a frightened team dashed down Massachusetts avenue, and near Alabama street turned on the sidewalk* and ran fttrionsly along the pavement. Patrolman Doherty caught the horses and was dragged some distance before be stopped them. His revolver and mace were thrown from his pocket in the struggle and were returned to him by a spectator.

UNIFORM LAWS NEEDED.

LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT ABLY DISCUSSED BY JUDGE ELLIOTT-

The National Bar Association Recommends Uniform Law* on Will* to the State*—Newport The Next Meeting Place.

Legal gentlemen. ftomMhirtesa States assembled in tbe Supreme Court room this morning to proceed with the third annual convention of the National Bar Association. The newly-elected President, Judge Marshall, of Baltimore,is not in attendance at th* meeting. Rx-Pre*ident Doyle surrendered th* chair, and Judge Joseph B. Heiskcll, of Tennessee, Vice President for the Sixth Judicial District, was chosen to occupy it temporarily. The delegate* came in slowly, tbe hospitality of the Columbia Cl»b last night apparently having caused a reluctance to stir out early.

BYRON X. ELLIOTT. Business began with the reports of standing committees. This was not especially thrilling until a proposed new by-law came up for discussion. Then it was found that there waa a marked Une of difference of opinion in the assembly. The proposed by-law was: “Any association shall have the right, on demand of any delegate present, to have a vote on any question (excepting the cases provided for in Article* III, V and XI ot the constitution) by associations; and the delegate or delegate* of the several associations present shad have the right to poll tbe foil vote of the delegates to which their associations are respectively entitled under the constitution.” While the discussion was at its hight, th* hour for Judge Elliott’s address arrived, and business was suspended until the address was concluded. Judge Doyle introduced the speaker, who was received with cordial applause. Judge Elliott said: Judge Elliott On Local Government. It is with pleasure and a high appreciation of your kindness that I respond to your courteous invitation to address you. I have chosen as my subject “Local Self-Government,” and its importance will, I hope, vindicate the choice. * The proposition that a free government is of necessity one of checks and balances is trite because it is true. Checks are required because without checks liberty is impossible. It is, theretore, no reflection upon the patriotism and intelligence of a people to declare that their liberties can not be maintained if checks are not given places in their governmental system. Tbe checks and guards essential to the existence ot a free government are not merely those which separate the departments and make each independent within its own sphere, for there are other checks ot equal dignity and importance. Local power and central power are essential to the existence ot a republic. Power must be both centralized and localized. Distribution and ceutialization are essential, and yet they are opposed. Distribution is required to prevent absolute imperialism, and centralization to prevent lawless communism.” ° Testimony and authorities were cited by the speaker. “These,” he continued, “nave a two-.old probative tore*, tor they prove that local self government is indispensable to constitnlional liberty, and that it ia tbe birthright of freeborn men. It is not a derivative right; it does not come from written constitutions nor irom Legislatures. It conies from the creators of constitutions and the makers of legislative assemblies. It is older than any American Legislature, older than any American constitution. It landed on our snores on that bleak December day when tbe Puritans knelt on

brought/ forth our government; it has made ns a great nation, and it is as strong and vigorous a* when our flak first kissed the summer’s breeze in the morning of the long ago. The right is woven in the fibers' of every freeman's being, and inheres in him in virtue of his right as a freeman. It i* one of the great principles which constitutions sanction and confirm, not one which they Lnciple whicl merican Republic an leaders in the state

nations.

“In asserting Federal supremacy in recent decisions, tbe highest court of the land has moved through a new channel, and while it did wisely and well to destroy the heresy that threatened to destroy the commercial aflairs ot the nation, it has carried the doctrine of central power to tbe ntmost verge of safety. With the highest respect and deepest veneration for that great, pure and able tribunal, I venture, in the exercise of a citizen’s right, to say that in one notable instance, at least, the current of its thought bas outrun tbe lines marked for it by principal and precedent. Tbe decision of the court in tbe original package case is a strong, and with proiound deiereuce, I suggest, a dangerous assertion of central power. If the police power resides in the States—and that it does has been time and time again adjudged—the only Federal question presented Was whether intoxicating liquor is so far different from other property as to be the subject of police regulation. That it is. there can, it seems to me. be little doubt, for so it bas ever been regarded in America, and so it has been for centurie* in the mother country. “It is, however, not so much in controversies involving Federal and State rights as in controversies respecting the powers of municipalities tkat the readiness to overthrow local self-government is mani ested. Doctrine* have found favor which, it carried to their logical result, will strike down local independence and increase tbe central power of the State to imperialism. Th* monstrous wrongs

perpetrated by municipal officers have so moved the communitv that, losing sight of the great principle of selt-government, they have demanded that the central power shall

govern to the exclusion of the local, and this demand has been yielded to in some quarters. 1%* remedy resorted to is more malignant than the disease it is invoked to cure. A remedy which involves the destruction of the principle of selfgovernment i* infinitely worse than tbe disease of municipal misgovern men t. It is immeasurably better that some cities should be misgoverned than that a great principle which. If there be truth in history or wisdom In the utterances of men, ia absolutely essential to the existence of a free government ahould be overthrown. There is, however, no just reason to believe that the evils can be cured by concentrating tbe power in the legislative department of the State Government and disfranchising the citizens of the municipalities. If it be said that the Legislature will justly rule where the citizens of the locality fail, it may be fairly answered that until it is shown that tbe States themselves are not misgoverned it is not fair to assume that the power which failed in respect to the State itself will succeed in justly governing its municipalities. Most men will, I dare say, be alow to affirm that State Legislatnres do not misgovern. It is not eaey, in the light of experience and of history, to find a solid reason for trusting the representatives elected by the people at large and distrusting those elected by tne people of the local subdivision immediately interested. Tbe just presumption is that tbe people of a localitv can better conduct their own affairs than can tbe representatives of the State at large. Tbe preservation of local independence is thw check to legislative domination,

under our American constitutions there is neither exclusive central power nor absolute local independence. It is, at all events, quit* safe to affirm that it can never be expedient to build np a strong central power at the cost of municipal independence. If there f* a right so old and so firmly interlinked with foe* institutions aa to be known of all men it ia the right of local self-government. Ofallthc rights which found a place on American soil with the eomin* of Englishmen it bas taken tbe deepest root and borne tbe richest fruit. * “Men gathered in a locality lose no rights of free citizenship; thoee righto abide with them in the thronged cities as well a* in the quiet rural homes. The inherent right of local self-government remains in the Atizen wherever he msy dwell; it does not vanish when cities spring into existence. The vital principle can not be annihilated by legislation, however much it tnsy be hedged about by central legislative power. It is one thing to regulate and limit, but it is quite another to destroy.
