Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller was at the Cacttol to-dav teeing Mr. Wilson concerning what prom ises to be an unfortunate complication in tbe collection ot the new revenue tax en alcohol unless the same ia rectified. White in tbe Seriate an amendment was Inserted in the tar iff bill making alcohol free ot tax when used in the arts, in suedical prescriptions or in other like compounds. "Roughly estimated." said Mr. Miller, "this estimate would reduce revenues about or $10,000,000 annually." Tbe Department "has alwavs been against such procedure.

already allow colleges, laboratories, Ac, to use their alcohol free of tax. Bnt this provision as to alcohol fused In tbe arts and In medicine and in "Ilka com pounds" threatens to throw the doors wide open. Tbe provision as to mecucine wouia exempt all bitters, and It would be necessary merely to put a little bitters or a dash of Jamaica ginger in a barrel of whisky to let it tpe all revenue taxes. It is hard to say what the ramifications of such -a system would lead to. not only in the wholesale handling ot alcohol, but tbat ot retailers and druggists.

Chairman Wilson has. been commissioned by tbe Ware and Means Committee to over come tbe trouble. It would have been recti fied in conference it the conferees had not broken up without results. Mr. Wilson's bill will be given a special rule to bring it to a speedy reading, and it Is expected tbat change will be completed, so fsr as the House is con cerned, without trouble.

Hardly a ripple of interest was excited in tb House to-day. when Chairman Pearson, of tbe on Enrolled reported tbat tbe tariff bill had been duly enrolled; a brief formal note from Mr. Breckinridge, of Arkansas, recently appointed Minister to Bussia. announcing tbe resignation of his commission as a representa tive, was read.

Considerable interest was excited by the reading of a resolution by Mr. Black, of Illi nois, reciting the depletion ot In the Treasury, and instructing th Coinage Com mittee to report a hill providing tor tbe "proper use and avail" of the silver in the Treasury and instructing the Rules Committee to report a rule for Its prompt considera tion. It went to the box in tbe regular order and was followed by a resolution from Mr. Talbert (Dem-. South Carolina) tor the tree coinage ot silver, which was referred to the same committee on motion of BepTeseatative Tracer Sew Tork).

The conference report on the general de ficiency bill announced an agreement on all amendments but' one tbe appropriation of to pay final Judgments of the Court of Claims among them tbe deer in favor of th Southern Padtic Railroad Company.

Th new tariff biU Is believed to meet all ot th objections of th German Government to tb provisions of th sugar schedules in the McEinley tariff act, as it places all foreign conatries oa an equal footing By the McKinley act an addi tional duty of one tenth of one cent per pound was levied oa all sugars above No.

Herlits pleaded guilty to the charge, but bis wife denied her guilt. Inspector Conway, ih Court this morning, said that they are at the head ot a gang of Anarchists who have been guilty of committing anarchistic offenses, not only for sentiment, but for revenue to be derived therefrom. Giving bis testimony against Herlits and his wife, Irspector Conway told a remarkable st'ry.

He stated tbat "he had Indisputable evidence to show-That an organtisd gang' of students of Herr Most's theoties and methods hsd been operating in Chicago and vicinity. They had been carrying out their theories by burning down or blowing, up bouses in order to secure th. insurance. After tbe proceedings in Court Herlitx made a full confession. He said be came here from New Oilcans fiv years ago and met a man named Scharf, who Instructed him in an archlsttc doctrines.

Later. Scharf suggested that the meet rational way to secure reprisals for capitalistic robbery waa to get after the insurance companies. Bombs and other an archistic paraphernalia were adapted to the new use and operations were commenced Scharf did the preliminary work, but left the actual firing to Herlits. and was to receive 5 per cent of the money recovered from the insurance company. Herlits said Scharf had many other pupils, and derived a good rev enue on the 5 per cent.

The prisoners are Carl Herlitx, Mrs. Carl Herlits. August Nelson. William Scharf, John Bauman, August Schubosk, John Neumann. HE LOVED HER Aatd.

Lross, August 15 Minxsasrr. The news of the decision to execute Eaato ia the early morning spread rapidly, notwithstanding the efforts of the officials to keep it secret. A heavy fall of rain prevented tbe gathering of a great crowd around the prison, hut all the wine shops and restaurants in tbe vicinity have been crowded all tbe evening with people who proposed to witness the election. At midnight, however, these people were compelled to leave their Places ot shelter, as the tavern keepers had strict orders to close their doors at tbat hour. The streets leading to the prison are occu pied by troop.

At 1 o'clock all the bouses on tbe street will be closed and no person will be allowed to enter tbem nnlesa he can prove tbat it is his own place ot residence. This precaution is intended to prevent any st tern pis at violence on the part of the Santo will have to walk a distance of 60 yards from his cell to the scaffold, which has been erected In the square facing the 3:30 a. sr. The city is so crowded with vis itors that Dlebler, the official executioner, after several hours ot fruitless search for lodg ing, was obliged to invoke tbe aid of the au thorities to procure quarters. The guillotine did net arrive from Parts un til 6 o'clock last erening.

Santo occupied hia time yesterday in read ing "Don Quixote." At 1 o'clock thla morning tbe police com menced to cleaa the troop away from the vi cinity ot the prison. When the troops marched to the square fa wblch the execa Uoa will take place hardly a score of onlook ers were in It, Jlobody the pave ment AaocitB Tux rataoa.

At o'clock in the morning from a window. not Santa's, a prolonged sigh, followed by a cry, twice repeated, of -viva rAnareniei breaks the stillness. This is followed by dead silence. Perhaps it ia a signal to warn Santo of hia approaching doom. Just at this moment a wagon arrives from the prison with the guillotine.

At 4:50 a. m. Santo was led out of his cell by the guards. trembled as be emerged from the prison, and bad to be assisted to tbe scaffold. His face waa deadly pale.

Aa he wai being fastened down be cried "VIVB ABABcniB." Bis death waa instantaneous. There was no unusual demonstration. Newspaper representatives were allowed to take np a position Inside the cordon of the troops. The crowd outside the lines at 5 doc: was small, but from that tim it quickly swelled until toward 4 o'clock, tbe time at which tbe execution was expected to take place, it had grown to large proportions. When the preparations of Dlebler had been completed he twice tested the guillotine and pronounced it satisfactory.

It was then 4 :25 o'clock. Tbe troops then closed In around the guillotine. When daylight arrived the square and the streets near by were thronged with people. Escorted by a squad of gendarmes the ex ecutioner and hia men entered the prison at 4:50 o'clock. M.

This trembling continued until th last moment. He could hardly stand, and hia limbs were so stiff with cold and fright that his clothes were put oa him with the utmost difficulty. In reply to the Governor whether he would have breakfast, Santo declined eitbet food or drink. Be also refused religious consolation from tbe priest, Asked whether he desired to speak to the Judge, be replied in the negative. Ha also declined to see his counsel.

"Have you any last wishes to commnni- ceteT" be waa asked. "No," be answered, "only send my letters to my mother." Hia snaking increased while he waa making hia toilet to such an extent that Diebker's men had much trouble to pinioning him, When Governor Raax spoke to Santo of bis mother the condemned man's eyes filled with tears and he nearly choked with emotion. lie soon regained his ha'ttaA- indifference. although a till pallid and trembUn. this moment be said nothing more.

When he was assisted Into the wagon he was in a most a pitiful condition. His knees shook together and his teeth chattered vio lently. He bo longrr appeared like a man. but a being half dead with terror. The command to "fix bayonetar" waa sow sounded from squadron to squadron ot troops, while murmurs arose from the a growing crowd.

They are too far in tbe future and too doubtful of coming.

This is the great underlying princlpleln the liberties of a. people, and of free representative government. It has been not the least of tbe mis -lions of the Democratic party to zeal ously guard rats tAoe.cs rs.rvii.BOE In the past, and It a ball continue In the future to raise ita voice against tba unholy and un- merican prejudice that would stir np a feeling of hatred, bitterness and animosity toward one religious sect a feeling that la wholly at war with fraternal charity. Christian sentiment, and highest civilisation.

Such a sentiment can never find a resting place In tbe bosom of Democracy, nor In th hearts of trua American citizens." Following Governor Matthewss speech, a report waa -had from the Committee on Cre dentials, showing tbat tba "proper delegates bad been seated." Hon. Robert C. Bell, of Ft. Wayne, Chair man of th Committee; on Resolutions, pre sented tba platform as agreed upon. Special enthusiasm marking the Indorsement of the Governor and state administration, and the condemnation of un-American organizations, but tbe most sprited enthusiasm was evoked wbsa tbs section was reached censuring the Senators, who ware criticised as standing in the way of tariff reform.

During tbe reading of tbls clause there were repeated calls to name tba Senators alluded to. which was unheeded by Bell until tbe Dol-e drowned the sound of his voice. A second time ha began reading nd again the cry went up. Finally a dele gate shouted tbe name of "Brire" in a com manding voice, and tbe name waa taken up and hurled forward and backward over tbe hall. Sventnally Bell motioned for silence, after wblch he slowly remarked: "Tbe finger of scorn will follow them along the pathway of Ufa without naming them." THia STILLED TB TVMCLT.

A second outburst of epplanse followed tb recommendation tbat United States Senators be elected by the Tb resolutions were adopted without diasant. Little time was lost by th convention la looting a ticket. Hon, George F. Beta bard, of Spencer County, was named for Judge of the Supreme Court, First District, and was ac cepted by acclamation. Hon.

Joseph 8. Dai ley, ot Wells Con nly District), named to succeed himself on the bench, and he waa also accepted by acclamation, xtoth gentlemen briefly acknowledged tbe honor. Then half a dozen delegates claimed tbe at tention ot tbe Chairman for the distinction of nominating William R. Myers to succeed him self aa Secretary of State, and amid general acclaim this nomination was rushed through at railroad ipeed. Captain Myers was present, and be accepted the rac In a neat, telling lit tle speech.

minstions for Auditor ot State were called for, and Hon. John W. Kern, ot Marion, named Joseph I. Fanning, present Deputy Auditor of State, and he was accepted by acclamation. Tbe first approach to a contest came In tbe nomination tor Treasurer ot State.

Morgan Chandler, of Hancock Frank A. Mull, of Bush, and Jabn L. Gobet, of Montgomery, were named by their respective friends. Tbe nsme of Goben was the only one ot tb three which bad. previously been mentioned in connection with the office, but, as indicated last night, there were forces at work to racyxKY mi SKLgcriog.

Mr. Chandler ted front tb start on the bal lot, and long before completion: of the roll call he had more than a sufficient number of votes. Messrs. Goben and Mult thereupon withdrew their names, and the nomination was made Unanimous. No opposition developed to the nomination of Hon.

Francis Griffith, of Switzerland, for Attorney-General. It required a ballot to determine a choice for Clerk of tbe Supreme Court. The candi dates were Bdltor C. W. Wellman, of the Sul livan Times, and Elwood Avery, of Clinton, who but recently injected himself Into tbe race.

The vote, as announced, gave Mr. Well- man 1.017 votes and Mr. Avery 720h. Tbe first named was then accepted by acclamation. Squally abort and decisive -was the ballot ing for Superintendent of Public Instruction The opposing candidates were C.

W. Thomas, ot Harrison Connty, and J. H. Gardner, of Cass, and the ballot was even and Interesting. Tbe result showed Thomas 601 and Gardner 846.

Mr. Thomas was accepted by acclama tion. Tb. delegates then began leaving tbe ball, without waiting tar the selection of a candidate tor State Geologist. Ell T.

The tariff bill, very properly termed the Gorman com promise bill, went to the President this afternoon signed by the President of tbe Senate and tbe Speaker of tbe House. Tbe President probably bad some general knowledge of its provisions when he gave the Finance Com mittee to understand tbat be favored what they were doing, and later when he wrote tbe famous Wilson letter on the other perfidy-and-disbonor tack. For some days past be has been examining the regular print of tbe Senate bill in anticipation of tbe official copy. It is his habit to go over important bills care fully, and be will do so now, Nobody seems to anow positively what be means to do, and probably his Cabinet could not answer positively. B'tf nearly all tbe Democratic poli ticians want him to sign it at once, and tbe expression of the mercantile community and business men are nearly unanimous and equally urgent.

Even his delay la regarded with great lm- atlence. Tbe cry for an end to tbe tariff agi st ion Is so strong tbat It will require a good deal of obstinate self-assertion and more than his normal quota, to bold out for 10 days longer, much as be msy desire to do so. Tbe 10 days he has under the constitution will expire on Saturday of next week. He may sign th bill this week, but it must be remembered tbat he la a rich man with a big salary, and not given to real grief over other people's troubles. The most important event of the day la Sec retary Carliolea letter on the condition of the United States Treasury, of which notice was given in these dispatches yesterday.

The letter Is most careful in its statistics. and shows gjy facta and figures not to be dis puted by anybody, except Mr. Mills, that to abandon the sugar revenue would entail a deficit of $30,000,000, unlea corresponding taxation be Imposed on some otber articles. Of course, this can not be done without a very big dcee of perfidy and dishonor. Tbe letter was read in tbe Senate this morn ing and produced a profound impression on tbe body.

suggest Ion is made by some Inconsiderate persons tbat the Secretary by bis communication baa, put himself in con flict with the President. There is no founda tion for such aa idea, and there can be no doubt but that the Secretary prepared bis letter to Senator Harris with the knowledge and approbation of. the President. It will be remembered that President Cleveland has never expressed himself against a revenue duty on sugar, but in hia Wilson letter he urged the retention of the sugsr duty. At the same time there la a strong desire on tb part ot many Democratic Senators to escape" the burden of carrying the sugsr duty, and even a stronger wish to wipe put tbe differential duty In favor of the refiners, 8ome of the Democratic Senators, in view of the strong and impressive statements of Secretary, CarlWe, are wilUngto; rote for a flat ad valorem duty on sugsr, so as to provlda adequate revenue for tb Government, but they insist on wiping out the differential duty In favor of refined sugar.

Senators Harris, Test and Vilas took the po sition to-day tbat they would agree to a reve nue duty if needed by the Government, but they would give nothing to tbe trust. Senator Jones, who has done more hard work to In sure the passage of the Senate bill than any one, and borne tba brunt of the flgbt. nas of fered an amendment to the House bill to Im pose a duty of 90 per cent on all sugars, with no discrimination in favor of tbe trust. This Is the position of Senators Lindsay Hunton and ethers. Mr.

Berry urges free sugsr regardless ot everything else, and Sena tor Mills, who has, heretofore, always favored a revenue duty on sugar, says now tbat'tbe tariff bill nst passed Is not a Democratic measure, and that while In a perfect bill at some future day he would favor a duty on tea, coffee and sugar be is against them now, There are some Democratic Senators six or eight, probably; at least who will oppose any change tn the bill Just passed, and most of tbe Republicans are opposed to any more tariff legislation, whether tor tree sugar or any thing else. It will be bard to do any thing over and In spite of their opposition. Tbe Louisiana Sen ators have little or no Influence with the otber Democratic Senators and the best hope ot tbe sugar planters Just now appears to be tb Administration Influence. Mr. Berry made a strong effort to-day to get action on the Uoue bill for free sugar.

Senator Vest Improved too occasion to tarn tbe calcium light, which be had promised some time ago, but though the light waa a good one and coruscated considerably. It has been overaavertlaed. and tbe time In tbe aion has gone by when any light could pro duce a great, sensation. Still Mr. Vest made an interesting speech.

He made a deserved com me at on mendacious preees and correspondents and demonstrated that th Senate conferees bad been treated very badly by tbe Uotta conferees. He let out tbat the Presi dent told him be did not desire his advice about any Missouri appointments an extraor dinary thing to come from anybody except Mr. Cleveland. He apoke with moderation. but with effect on the terms of th Wilson letter.

Tne weak point ot tb speech, however. waa that Mr. Vest, who showed how great the reductions were In tbe Senate bill, should deem it necessary to have a vindication of bis action. Mr. Mills delivered himself of bis usual stump harangue.

Both these gentle men seemed to anxious for vindication against attacks, but tb ton waa better pitched than Mr. Vilas, who undertook the extensive business of eulogizing and excusing tbe President, the Senate conferees, the Wil son bill, bis own votes and proceedings In the Senate, and yet suggesting that, by some way not clearly explained, much more of tariff re form could have been accomplished. Senator Palmer appeared to' better advantage. He spoke out like a man and took his full share ot responsibility for the bill. On the whole.

tbe debate was an interesting family quarrel over which all is now ancient history, and be longed more fo tbe wretched business makinf a record than practical statesman ship. Tbe Republicans were shrewd enough to keep auiet. The Democrats were supply lng tbem with campaiam anatetd-- Senators Harris and Walsh spoke briefly and Judicious ly, but the run of tbe debate was not calcu lated to benefit th Democracy. Tba House popgun bills for free sugar and free what-not, passed in haste without de bate, are calculated and Intended to produce tbe impression upon tbe public that tbe Democrats in the two Houses of Congress have passed a bad bill instead of a good one. Tbe idea with many ot the Wilson crowd was to make a point against tne Senate regardless of consequences to the party or the country.

Their threat ot continued tariff agitation re peated to-Civ in the Senate is larxcly intend ed to head off any agitation for free silver coinage. It is well known and was stated to-day In debate that the whole theory of theSc bill was to mak a tariff bill for cratioivote could be secured. This was done by concessions to some four or five of there Senators, and the bill was thus passed. The proposition now to recall tbee concessions and readjust the tari3 Jut pased wl.h so much difficulty has creeled no liule Indignation among certain fc.nators whose votes were necessary to pita tbe L-'ul.

Total eliniatd revenue $378,000,000. Tbe estimated receipts tor the present year, from tbe proposed tax on income and playing card and tbe pro. posed additional tax ot SO cents per gallon on distilled apurits are. it win be observed, much less than is stated tn the various tabalaied statements which have heretofore been need In the discussion of these subjects, but I am satisfied the amounts here given are approximately correct. The proposed income tax will not be pay.

able by tbe terms of the bill recently eeswed until "on or before" July 1. 1896. which is the close of the fiscal year, and tt is estimated by th Commissioner of Internal Revenue that. by reason of tbe large stock on hand, tbe re ceipts from the (a on playing cards will not amount to more than $1,000,000 during this year. The estimated Increase of receipts on account of the additional tax oa distilled spirits during tbe present year has already been prevented to a great extent by the with.

drawal of large quantities of goods from tbe bonded warehonass and the payment of tax thereon at OOeents per gallon, and this process is still going on. The total expenditure during the current fiscal year will be aa fullu-ws: Civil and mis cellaneous. Including deficiency la postal revenues. $90,000,000: war. Including river and harbors.

Tbe duty on sugar proposed In the recent bill will, according to Importation of tbat article during tbe fiscal year 1K3, yield an annual revenue of $43,71 ftHM, and tbe du ties on tb. otber article mentkmed In your communication would yield under that bill about $1,000.000 that la to aay: Iron ore $270,920 coal. $436,149. and barbed wire, fencing wire and wire rods of Iron or steel.

when Imported for the man uf acta ra of barbed wire fencing, about tiiO.OOO. It will be seen, therefore, tbat it sugar alone ia placed upon tbe free list the -expenditure daring tbe present fiscal year will exared tbe receipts by the amount of $21,478,050, and it tbe duties are removed from all tbe articles specified in your letter tbe deficit will be $29.. 7 80. 7 SO, aot Including any expenditure on account of toe sinking fund or the peymeat of $3363,000 of Pacifle railroad which will mature during this fiscal year. In view ot the existing aad prospective requirements 1 am of the opinion that It would aot be sate, to place all tbe articles enumerated in your letter, or even sugar alone, apon the free list without Imposing taxation upon otber arti cles or subjects sufficient to raise an annual revenue of about $30,000,000.

I have tba honor to be very respectfully yon ra. J. G. Cabxjslx, Secretary. Tbe Secretary adds the following to hia lettert Bote Tba bonds of the Padfie Railroad guaranteed by tba Government to be amoo of $263.000 mature during tbe present fiscal year, and thia amount is not Included la the above estimate of expenditures.
