FIRES AT POPULISM

Wolcott's Vigorous Speech in the Senate, Protesting Against the Alleri Resolution. BODY BLOW FOR FEFFER, Who Wanted to Continue Debate on-tha Subject. Senate , Agrees to Meet for a at 11 O'clock n Order 'to -Malce nfadwur -with the , Tariff Bill Sorprlalnjr Strength tor the Ila-rrls Motion, "Which Prevail I try ml. Large Majority Friday an EaI clrna; Day 'or Senator Indiana j 'Pension. -Appointments. WASHINGTON", April :6. Immediately after the reading- f the journal In the penata today Mr. Jarvls, recently appointed from North Carolina to succeed "the lata Senator Vance, was sworn In, Senator Allen's Coxey resolution came tip, and Mr. Allen stated that there .would bo no opposition on the democrats Fldo to ,'t3 passage. Mr. Vest, however, opposed the resolution. These people should he treated Jtha eame a3 nil othes citizens of the United States. If they did not violate "any laws they would not be molested, but he deprecated the Introduction of such a resolution because it Intimated a want "fcf confidence in the Institutions and laws ;of the land. Their right to come here Lnd visit the capitpl was eo plain, fo evident that any suspicion about it was a reflection on the intelligence of the tountry. He was opposed to the preamble if it meant to includa these men who had trampled on the laws, injured private property, and undertaken to secure transportation to this city by force of arms, for 'hen he emphatically dissented from It. He declared that the marchers tj Washington would be protected in their Tights, but ihey would have to learn to abid-3 by the laws of the land, and If congress, for one instant, compromised with them. It would open a crevasse which would end In a flood and final destruction. If any one wanted to come here, whether they were employed or unemployed, to inspect the public buildings and vifit congress, their rights would be respected, but when they seized trains to come on, when they violated the laws of the country and, trampled on the right3 of the people, congress ought not to treat with them. "Wolcott's Yigoron Protest. Mr. "U'alcott of Colorado entered a visrctous protest ogainst passing the resolution. He believed that most of the men In Coxey's army might be honest, but they were led by men who were cranks, Insane or vicious. But their methods of righting the wrongs of the time could result in no good; this could only come from the natural beneficence of mankind, which, as the world grew better, made men more humane and kind. There should be no man suffering for bread in this broad domain of the United States who was willing to work. There was today no man who sincerely desired to work for the support of himself and his family, who could not get work, or bread to put into the mouths of himself and his little ones until work could be Xound. "I am tired of this talk of natural demonstration," he said. "In Colorado today, crushed and humiliated as she is by the action of congress, I venture to eay that no man Is suffering- because he can And no Trork, or no willing hands to assist In supporting him, until work can ie found for him. I believe the time has come when those of us who are in public life ought to begin to cultivate more regard for the perpetuity of republican institutions and to pander less to that miscalled portion of the labor vote, whose labor is with their threats and never with their hands. It Is time we stood for American manhood, for the right of every man to Work If he wants to, if it takes the whole trmy of the United States to enable him to do so. The right of every man is to enjoy eo,ual liberty with every other man, and that means that he shall have such liberty as isn't inconsistent with the equal rights of his neighbor, the right to hold and enjoy the property which the laws of the country have enabled him to secure. "It is time that we had the courage to stand top-ether against this socialism, populism and paternalism, which is running riot in this country, and which must end (if not crushed) in the destruction of the liberties which the laws give us, liberties which should be dearer to us than life itself." A number of senators took the pain 'to go to Senator "Wolcott on the floor After he had concluded his remarks and express their approbation of what he had said. Allen Defends It. Mr. Allen defended his action In Introducing the resolution and spoke for some time. In the course of his speech ,lie called these gatherings the "spontaneous uprising of American citizens egalnst wrong and oppression." He denied that It was a socialistic movement; whether It was populLstic he did not 'know, because he did not know whether any populists were enlisted In it. It was, he snld, a peaceable gathering of men engaged In a peaceable project. "Does the senates apply that to the army of the Commonweal which stole 'a trali at Butte, kllUd two deputy marshals and whom the troops of the United .States are now trying to capture?" asked Mr. "Wolcott. Mr. Allen rtfusc-d to be drawn on this .ETound. He declared that he was as Warm an advocate of peace and lawful-"TK-sa as any other man. He critkised the action of the commissioners of the District of Columbia In issuing a proclamation warning Coxey's army against entering the district. At 1:43 o'clock, before any action had ten taken on the resolution. Mr. Harris moved to take up a resolution providing that "Tomorrow, and until otherwise ordered, the senate shall meet at 11 o'clock a. m." Senators Peffer and Allen objected to the pending resolution being displaced and demanded a yea and nay vote. The vote (which, also showed the attitude of the senate on Mr. Alien's resolution) was as follows: Yeas Aldrich. Allison Bates, Berry, Tilackburn, Blam-hard, IJrlce. Caffery, Call, Camden, Coke, Cullom, Dubois, Faulkner. George Glhson. Gorman, Gray, Hale. Hansbrough. Harris. Hawley, Hlgglns. Hunton. Jarvla.

And Forces an Incontinent Back. doTvn. WASHINGTON, Arril 27. This was field day in the senate. There was maneuvering, marching, clashing and rapid firing. The bugle notes of defiance had sounded on both sides. Hostilities did not actually begin, and it was apparent that there was no intention that they should begin. There were counter marching, retreats and a quick reforming of lines, leaving the contending armle3 within the .-same fortifications and camping on the same grounds as before. When Mr. Aldrlch demanded that Mr. Harris of Tennessee speak for the democriaio side and say whether or not the democrats would vote on the tariff bill as it now stood, at 3 o'clock, the interest of senators and spectators in the gallery became intense. All eyes centered upon the sturdy, white-haired senator from Tennessee, but he did not reply. There were hurried consultations and it was soon known that the defiance of the republicans would be hurled back and there was an air of expectancy when Mr. Lindsay reared the end of his speech. When he finished Mr. Harris was on his feet immediately, and, although, others sought the floor, he was recognized. In an intense and dramatic manner he read the verbatim report of the colloquy between the Rhode Island and Kentucky Fenators and himself and at Its conclusion he accepied the proposition to vote on the senate bill and followed it up with a request for unanimous consent for such a vote at 3 o'clock. It was at once apparent that Mr. Aldrlch did not intend to accept this offer. Several republican senators Objected to the unanimous consent and Mr. Aldrieh. with difficulty, received recognition. He explained that while he had offered to vote on the house bill, he had only a?ked the democratic senators if they would vote on the senate bill. Further than this he made the proposition to the Fenate and not to a democratic caucus, which he intimated had been held since his proposition had been made. II was accused of backing down and quibbling, and Senator White of California intimated that he had been "bluffing" and had been "called." and also said that the senator from Rhode Island would probably understand the terms. The senate and spectators knew and an audible demonstration followed the sally. Mr. Aldrlch evidently knew what was meant and replied by saying that it was not common in places where the words were applicable to allow the adversary two hours to lork over his hand before making a call, and that was what the democratic, senators had done. Senator Teller stated his objections to a vote in vigorous terms, and in an allusion to the compromise tariff bill brought out a Vigorous denial by Senator Voorhees that any such bill was in existence. But the interest in the battle had disappeared, the bugle sounded a retreat and the most dramatic incident of the senate tariff debate closed. HOW THE FI X BEGA. Aldrlch ninfTed Without Mach PreTlotit Thinking. It was not until 11:17 today that enough senators were in thMr seats to make up a quorum. Mr. Alien endeavored to call up his Coxpy resolution as unfinished busln??3, but Mr. Harris objected, stating that there was no such thing as unfinished business. The chair so ruled. Mr. Harris's motion to take up the tariff bill was agreed to 2f to 15. Mr. Dolph yielding to Mr. Lindsay his right to the flcor, the Kentucky senator then spoke In support of the tariff bill. In the course of Mr. Lindsay's speech a colloquy occurred in whih Mr. Sherman drew attention to the fact that the McKinley bill, instead of raising the duty on iron, steel and all other metals except tin plate, largely reduced the duty and therefore, it was said, whether right or wrong, that It was necessary to institute a reduction of wages which led to the labor troubles at Homestead. Mr. Lindsay agreed that the .McKinley bill had reduced the duty on iron and steel from the former tariff law and he was aware that the manufacturers had attributed the necessity for reducing the wages to the reduction of duties. That wasn't the real cause of the reduction of wages, which was to be found in the natural desire of manufacturers to reduce wages without respect to the rates of duty. In reply to a question by Mr. Aldrieh as to whether Senator Lindsay subscribed to the doctrine enunciated by Mr. Mills that coffee, tea and sugar should be taxed and the duty on iron and steel reduced. Mr. Lindsay said he didn't think Mr. Mills voiced the sentiment of the entire democratic party. "I do not believe," said Mr. Aldrieh, "that either the senator from Texas or the senator from Kentucky knows what the democratic party wants." (Laughter.) "If you will agree to take a vote on Only a Scar Remains Scrofula Cured Blood Purified by Hood's Sarsaparilla. " C.

THE MICROSCOPE.

A careful microscopical examination and chemical analysis of the urine, is a valuable aid in determining the nature of many chronic diseases, particularly those of the nervous system, blood, liver, kidneys, and bladder. These aids make it possible to treat such diseases successfully at a distance, without personal examination of the patient. Thus Bright's Disease of the Kidneys, Inflammation of the Bladder, Gravel, and other Diseases of the Urinary Organs are successfully treated; Nervous De bility, Lxhaustion, Dropsy, Liver Disease, and many I other Chronic Maladies are cured without seeing the patient. Write for question blanks, treatise, and other information, describing case, and inclose 10 cents, in lamps, to pay postage. Address, World's Dispessart Medical Association, No. 6C3 Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y. this bill today you will find out what the democratic party wants," retorted Mr. Lindsay. Senator Aldrieh' Hin ff. "I will agree to take an aye and no vote on the bill r. it came from the house at 3 o'clock," said Mr. Aldrlch, throwing down the gage. Mr. Lindsay asked why he didn't include the proposed amendments of the finance committee in his proposition. At 1:21 Mr. Linday concluded his speech and immediately Senators Dolph, Cullom. Harris and others were on their feet asking for recognition. Mr. Harris was recognized, and, standing beside his desk with the official report of the colloquy between Senators Lindsay and Aldrieh in his hand, read the proposition, as he said, of the senator from Rhode Island, first to vote on the bill as it came from the house, and then to Vote on the bill as it was reported to the senate by the finance committee, at 3 o'clock. Mr. Lindsay had disclaimed any authority to speak for his party on these propositions, and Mr. Aldrieh said he would like to hear from the senator from Tennessee (Harris), who had charge of the bill. As Mr. Harris read the report of the debate the interest and anticipation became Intense and visitors in the galleries and senators on the floor became wrought up to a high pitch of excitement. The Itlan Called. "Now." said Mr. Harris, "while I have not th vanity to assort that I represent the democratic party, I beg to assure the senator from Rhode Island that so far as I am concerned or so far as I can control the action of the majority of the senate. I will consent that at 3 o'clock we will rrooeed to vote on the amendments of the finance committee and then on the final passage of the bill. This can he done only by unanimous consent, and we go further and ask for unanimous consent." The Presiding officer (Mr. Turple) "Are there any objections?" Mr. Cullom "I object." Democratic laughter.) Senators Cullom and Aldrirh were trying to gain recognition and Mr. Aldrieh was hoard above th tumult and laughter to say that he wanted to address the senate. The presiding officer told him somewhat tartly that he would recognize him after he had recognized the senator from Illinois (Mr. Cullom). Mr. Cullom yielded to Mr. Allen, who said: "Mr. President, in the course of the speech of the senator from Kentucky I asked the senate the question as to whether it would be willing to proceed to vote on the bill and pending amendments of the finance committee at 3 o'clock. It had no response on that side of the chamber." "I tried to respond to the senator from Rhode Island," said Mr. Lindsay. "I had no response to that inquiry, which was a direct and easily understood question." persisted Mr. Aldrirh. "I did offer for this side of the chamber to take a vote on ih? bill as It came from the house, without amendment. I received no response to that proposition. I then asked if the senators on the other side were ready to vote on the bill as it stood. I would suggest that I did not ask it of a democratic caucus, and also what the senator from Ohio (Mr. Price) may understand better than would the senator from Tennessee, I would not give an option of thirty days to answer. (Laughter.) I have been told since I asked that question on credible authority that last night the members of the finance committee, representing that side of the chamber, agreed to more than 300 amendments to the pending measure." A Clear Ilnck Dinvn. Mr. Vest "Name your authority." Mr. Aldrieh "I think that the senator from Missouri found out the day before yesterday that he was not well advised as to what was going on on the democratic side of the chamber. He fnay be as ignorant of what is now going on, and before the hour of 3 o'clock more than a hundred more amendments may be made to the bill. Now, I do not intend to commit myself or any one else . a bill I know nothing ax)ut. If the st;. tor will state a proposition to vote on . house bill at an early hour next week I believe that proposition will be accepted." "Will the acceptance of suci a proposition exclude the offering of amendments by the finance committee?" asked Senator White of California. "Certainly," replied Mr. Aldrieh. "Does the senator think that a candid proposition?" asked Mr. White. "I think it is perfectly caiiuld." replied Mr. Aldrlch. "The whole thing seems curious," persisted Mr. White. "Here It Is 1:30 and a proposition to vote on the bill at 3 o'clock is made and he (Aldrlch) is 'called' on that proposition, that Is a phrase which perhaps he will understand (great laughter), and he has declined to respond (great laughter), and now he proposes to fix on some day next week to vote on the bill as it came from the house, without amendments, and he thinks that a candid proposition. I do not." "It is well understood that In the game to which the senator from California refers." asserted Mr. Aldrieh, "a man could easily decide to call a hand." (Laughter.) "Put a few minutes have transpired," replied Mr. White, "and in view of the dignified dillatoriness manifested on that side of the- chamber there can be no claim of undue expenditure of time on this." "Sufficient time has transpired to hold a democratic caucus," said Mr. Aldrieh. "Mr. dray remarked that the preposition of Mr. Aldrieh was agreed to by the senator from Tennessee (Mr. Harris) as soon as the senator from Kentucky had taken his seat." "If the senator from Rhode Island chooses to back cut of It let him do it like a little .nan," said Mr. Harris, deliberately. "You directly proposed o the senator from Kentucky to vote on the bill at 3 o'clock. I have your language here," (taking the official report which he had obtained from the official reporters). "The very moment the senator from Kentucky took his seat I addres3xl the -"hair, was recognized and accepted in good faith the proposition of the senator from Rhode Island from which he seks now rather inglorlously to retire." (Orat democratic laughter.) "I made no proposition," d-dared Mr. Aldrlch. "I .simply tsked a question." (Democratic cries of "oh, oh.") "I did not say for myself or for others on this side of the chamber that we would accept the measure. My proposition was to take a vote on the bill as It came from the house, and I renew that proposition." Teller llolpa Aldrlch Out. "As I understand this controversy," said Mr. Teller, entering the discussion, "the senator from Rhode Island tendered an Inquiry to the other side of the chamber. After a consultation they answer the query. No senator on that side of the chamber dare to assert that the bill

as it came from the house or as it came from the finance committee Is the bill that is to pass the senate." "We are willing to vote on it now," declared Mr. Grey. "Oh." said Mr. Toller, "the senator knows the tricks of conference committees. He knows that in conference it can be 'fixed.' In that way it can be made palatable to those on the democratic side to whom It is now unsavory." 31 r. Voorhees Den leu. Mr. Voorhees put the stamp of his denial on the statement that a new bill was in preparation. "So far as I know." he said, "there Is not one word of authority or of truth for the statement that a new bill is in process of preparation or will be offered here within the next few days or weeks or months. This bill will take the usual course of all bills and will be subject to amendments. The statement made by the senator from Rhode Island that last night in the finance committee 300 amendments or 100 or two or one were agreed upon or even discussed Is untrue." "There is no use denying the fact," said Mr. Teller, "that outside of the senate and outside of the finance committee there is pressure being brought to bear not for a new bill, of course but to greatly amend the bill. No matter whether every other man on this si Je of the chamber agrees to the proposition to vote on the bill at 3 o'clock, I shall object." Mr. Hawley said he would not agree to take the house bill as it stood, for it murdered a great many industries In hi3 state. The bill now pending was better for his people and he was bound to take the best he could get and thank God It was no worse. (Laughter.) Mr. Cullom again arose to address the senate when Mr. Harris asked what had become of his request for unanimous consent to accept the proposition of the senator from Rhode Island. "I objected," said Mr. Cullom. "Oh." said .Mr. Harris, in his drawling, significant way. No Amendments Hade. Mr. McPherson was given three minutes by Mr. Cullom. who held the floor. Ml. McFhcrSOn asserted that no amendments to th bill wer made by the finance committee last night or at any time. Referring to Mr. Aldrich's proposition, Mr. McPherson sld: "I am ready now to take the Wilson bill as it came from the house and proceed with its consideration, without amendment and without debate, and when the reading i3 concluded to vote for it. .As one of the members of the finance committee, I will be glad to see that measure and that plan adopted." He felt impelled to make these explanations on account of Mr. Aldrich's reference to the finance committee. "I have never asferted here or elsewhere." said Mr. Aldrieh. "that the senator from New Jersey had any responsibility for the changes in this bill. 1 made no reference to him." "You spoke of the finance committee of which I am a member," assorted Mr. McPherson. "I am rIfo a member of the finance committee," said Mr. Aldrlch. "and I think the senator will agree that I have nothing to do with the changes." Mr. Voorhees again entered the debate and declared that the statement made by the senator from Rhode Island was not true. "What statement?" asked Mr. Aldrieh. "The statement lhat nmfndments bad been agreed to on the pending bill." replied Mr. Voorhees. ' The efforts here create the impression that a new deal Is being made. The senator from Rhode Island taxes the senator from New Jersey with being destitute of knowledge. The senator from Rhode Island is himself a striking example of a mart speaking without any knowledge of what he is talking about. The statement made by the senator from Rhode Island is without truth, direct or Impjied." "I do not know what, the senator means by 'having been agreed to,' " said Mr. Aldrieh. "That is a subject which he can put his own construction on. That amendments have been agreed to may not be true, but that they have been eonsidered in the majority of the committee is true." "That is wide of the truth: that Is not correct." declared Mr. Voorhees. "I will leave that to be decided In the course of events for the next thirty days." replied Mr. Aldrieh, and rested the case on that. Dol pit's Lonjc Talk. Mr. Cullom was recognized and spoke in opposition to the bill. Mr. Cullom spoke for two hours and twenty minutes and wis followed by Mr. Dolph. who gave the fifth installment of his speech, but soon sank - Into the background to allow Mr. McPherson to get Into a controversy with Senators Frye and Aldrieh. Shortly after 5 o'clock Mr. Harris asked sarcastically how much longer Senator Dolph proposed to talk; he had already spoken four days. Mr. Dolph asked Mr. Harris not to be impatient. "Oh, I am the picture of patience; I am simply asking a question," said Mr. Harris, amid the laughter of the senate. Mr. Dolph said that he had been Interrupted so much that his speech had been unintentionally prolonged. If no one had a fixed speech for tomorrow he hoped that he would be allowed to have the floor so that he could finish by 3 o'clock. At 5:2" p. m. the senate adjourned. Mr. Aldrlch Esplutn. After the Incident on the floor closed Senator Aldrlch said that his reason for making a proposition for a vote was that he wanted to demonstrate that if a vote could be reached on the house bill it could not pass. "I made the proposition," he added, "with a view of demonstrating by an actual test on the floor of the senate how idle the democratic platform is and how impossible it is for the party to pass such a measure as was piomised in the Chicago convention." He said he would have been entirely willing that the vote should be taken upon his proposition to vote ipon the house bill as such, but that when it came to amending it that was another matter. Asked to state what information he had upon which to base his assertion in regard to the amendments which he had declared In his remarks had been prepared, he said he could not give the source of his Information, but he was satisfied beyond doubt that virtually a new bill was prepared and would be offered and when presented it would be found to be a protective measure. "My purpose," he repeated, "was to show that the democrats could pass no other than a protective bill, and I am sure they cannot." FltKK woou

Senator Voorheen Holds Oat Xo Hope to the Duty Hooiners. The advocates of a duty on wool were hopeful of accomplishing something In that direction as long as the democratic senators w?re not united In support of the tariff bill, but their hopes have been much damp?ned by the compromise which has been virtually arranged by the democrats. Senator Voorhees has written a letter on the free wool question to a Chicago friend, in which he says: It Is my understanding that very few carpet wools are produced In this country and that they aggregate about three-fourths of all the wools Imported. If this be true then as to carpet wools there could be no disid vantage and must be a certain advantage to carpet manufacturers of the country and the consumers of their goods In free wool. 2. I am further advised that the largest proportion of tine wools Import&J to this country are wools which cannot be produced here, owing to climatic conditions, and that they are eanenttal to the manufacturers in the production of fine fabrics. If this be true thev should also be admitted free of duty. This would leave but a small proportion of wools which compete at the present time with domestic wools. 3. It la also manifest to me that the failure of our w'ool-frotver to reUz8 a profit in

wool is almost entirely due to over-production, both in this country and In other wool-producing countries of the world. I have no doubt that in the year following the passage of a free wool tariff bill the fwrice of domestic wool would advance lines? the great over-production in various other countries should continue to increase. It Is manifestly absurd to suppose that the 11 cents duty on wool has at any time for many years past been of service to the grower and the prices which have ruled within the last year prove my assertion.

Mlas Spencer' Appointment la Disapproved. BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL, WASHINGTON, D. C. April 27. The new pension agent for Indiana, Mr. Spencer, is having considerable trouble with the disposition of the twenty-eight clerkships under him. When he secured the appointment an understanding between the two Indiana senators was arrived at by which Mr. McNagny's district was to be given twenty clerkships and the remaining eight were to be rilled by selections by Senators Voorhees and Turpie. The patronage 0e the office was conceded to Mr. McNagny because his district had been left out In the cold In the distribution of the big offices of the state. However, Mr. Cooper put in a claim for his own district which he claimed had not received an appointment In the internal revenue service. It appears he succeeded in securing a promise from Mr. Spencer to appoint two persons recommended by him. Miss Fannie Coyle of Johnson and John Duncan of Morgan countj'. Mi.s Ccyle was appointed, but in course of time Mr. Cooper was notified by Mr. Spencer that he had no room for Duncan. Mr. Cooper would not be put oft in that manner and he carried the matter to the secretary of the interior, who decided that Mr. Spencer must not take all hi3 clerks from one district. The trouble did not end there. Mr. Spencer appointed his own sister to a clerkship and the secretary disapproved the appointment. Mr. Spencer came over to ascertain the trouble and yesterday was informed by Secretary Smith that he had issued an order some time ago prohibiting pension agents and other officers from employing members of their own families. This order had not been issued to meet Mr. Spender's case, but the secretary's attention hid been directed to several cases existing in pension offices under the last administration and he desired to correct the evil. The pension agent of New York had placed a female member of hi3 own family In office, but she did not perform much work. She was absent in Europe nearly a year while drawing her salary. He had no doubt, however, that Miss Spencer was competent and would attend to business, but he thought a fcur-thousand-dollar office ought to satisfy one family. He said he desired the clerkships to go to democratic soldiers. He agreed to allow Mr. Spencer to retain his sister until Aug. l. Then her place must be given to a democratic soldier or the widow of a soldier. In the matter of nepotism. Mr. Spencer did not go half so far as his republican predecessor, Ensly, who had three members of his own family in office. His son was chief clerk at $2.000 a year and two daughters drew each $1,000. Mr. Spencer left for Ft. Wayne today to be on hand to vote at the city election. Before departing Mr. Cooper succeeded in clinching the appointment of Duncan to a clerkship in the pension office. Duncan Is an old soldier and a good democrat. THEIR SEVENTY-FIFTH.

IT IS SAID THAT HE "WILL SlTrOItT THE AMENDED TARIFF III LI Changes Which Are Reported to . Have Secured a Favorable Fromlae from the w York Memher The Changes the Work of Senator Jones. WASHINGTON. April 26. The principal changes to be made in the tariff bill, in accordance with the agreement made today by the democratic senators, are in the income tax "and the sugar schedule. The sugar men have been from the first clamorous for an ad valorem instead of a specific duty, and that change has been conceded. The details haven't been absolutely fixed, ,but there is little doubt that the sugar schedule will be entirely supplanted by a new one. which will provide a uniform duty of 40 per cent, ad valorem with an addition of one-eights of a cent for refined sugar. The principal change in the Income tax is a provision fixing the time that the law shall remain In operation. This Is another matter of detail which has not been absolutely agreed upon. It will probably be about five or six years. There will be no change in the rate of taxation, which will be left at 2 per cent, on all amounts In excess of $4,000. A number of changes will be made In the Iron schedule. In which there will be a slight advance over the rates fixed by the pending bill. Carpets will also secure an advance. In many eass the rates fixed in the house bill will replace those of the bill reported to the senate by the finance committee. Another material concession will be made to tha disaffected senators will be the restoration of the specific system in many places where the finance committee changed the house bill by the substitution of ad valorem duty. The manufacturers have made especial complaint of the ad valorem system because of the opportunity which they say it offers for fraud. Their senators have supported them In this representation and the finance committee, while still retaining their confidence in the fairness of ad valorem methods, have decided to yield the point In many instances, for the sake of harmony, and with the hope of securing the support of the united party in the senate. There will be no change in the rates fixed on iron ore, lead ore or coal, and wool will remain on the free list. The whisky tax as reported by the finance committee will also be undisturbed. It is understood that the entire democratic majority of the finance committee is in hearty accord upon the wisdom of the proposed changes. Senator Jones of Arkansas has taken the Initiative and formed the greater part of the work in effecting the compromise by getting the dissatisfied senators to state what they wanted and bringing them together and also by securing the assent and co-operation of the president and Secretary Carlisle. The conservatives, with the one exception of Senator Hill, who Is absent from the City, have been fully consulted at the various stapes of the negotiation, and it is understood that with the amendments added to the bill it w ill receive their cordial support. They have given assurance to this effect, and those supposed to be authorized to speak for Senator Hill say they also have assurance of his support. WILL NOT EMPLOY NUNS.
