The Republican Is Delivered at More Residences Than Any Other Scranton Newspaper. TWENTY SEVENTH lEAIt. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 24, 18U4. PRICE TWO CENTS ALL ON THEANXIOUSSEAT A RUSH OF MEMBERS SPEAKER CRISP'S ROOM TO To Learn the Outcome of His Conference With the President as to the Tariff Bill Mr. Cleveland Did Not Say What He Would Do, but His Objections to the Bill Are as Strong as Ever.

Washington, Aug. 23. "When It was known that bpoaker Crisp had seen Mr. Cleveland to dny, there was a rush of members to the speaker's room in order to lenru tho president's intention as to the tariff. AH the speaker 'would say was, that the president would probably allow tho bill to become a law without his signature.

He said the president had not told him what he would do, but from his general conversation regarding the bill, the speaker made the foregoing de duction. Tho president, it Is said, has not hesi tated to express to some of his callers his Jbjcctions to the bill. These objections are as strong to day as they were wiien bis now famous letter to Chairman Wil son was read in the house more than a month ago. None of those who saw the president asked whether ho would veto the bill. The constitutional limit of ten days in which the bill may become operative without the president's signature will be reached at midnight on Monday next.

Some ot the Democratic leaders who saw tho president this morniug have urgod hiui strongly to 6ign the bill They have represented that any other course would discredit the measure and the party and it would bo a serious handicap to them when on the stump during the October campaign. The president is reported to have heard these gentlemen patiently and to have shown by his responses that he was not insensible to their argument In cases they returned to the capitol foeliug that after all there was a possibility that the presidential signature would be affixed to the measure," but as one of the number expressed it there is only a possibility." Equal uncertainty also exists whether President Cleveland will send a message to congress concerning the bill. He has been urged not to do so, but to withhold anything he may choose to say ou the subject uutil the re assembling of congress to be incorporated in his annual message. TARIFF BILL ERRORS. Comparison of the BIcKlnley and Senate Schedules.

Washington, Aug. 23 In the existing McKinley law the provisions placing aulhrucltn cpaj on the free list and allow iiia snins sToreS oi coais iwugluci uard or I) soft) to have free entry are embodied in separate Paragraph 586 Coal, anthracite. Paragraph 537 Coal stores of American vessels; but none shall be unloaded. In the senate bill, these two paragraphs nre emerged into one and connected by an "and" so as to read as follows: Paragraph 441 Coal, anthracite, and coal stores of American vessels, but none shall be unloaded. This it is contended makes the prohibition in regard to landing ships stores apply, also to the unloadiug of anthracite coal, although it is retained on the free list.

The customs officials of the treasury have not made any ruling ou the matter although their attention has been called to it VIOLATED THE LAW. Recorder of Deeds C. H. J. Taylor Solicited for Political Purposes.

CARNIVAL OF CANNIBALISM Inhuman Barbarities of Indians In Bolivia A Magistrate and Son Horribly Tortured Many Lives Lost by Shipwreck. Panama, Aug. 16. The Star and Herald prints the followiog details of the recent double murder by Indians Bo livia: The Indians of Carangas killed the magistrate of tho court of Oruro, Seuor Arcc, ana his son who was with him. The unfortunate man seeing tho menaciug attitude of the Indians, took refuge in a priest's house, which was surrounded by the Indians, who threatened to set fire to it.

Having held a council of martyrdom they resolved that the life of the sou should be taken first, and in the presenco of the father they clipped out his tongue, extracted his eves, and otherwise tortured him until he was dead. As the blood flowed from the body they caught it in horn cups and drank it with avidity. They then cut the father to death In a like horrible manner. A carnival of cannibalism was then held over the bodies until tho flesh was eaten to the bones. This account of such inhuman barbar ities occurring within the region of civilization is almost incredible.

This story nlso seems to cxplaiu the reason for a report that it was ex rrcsident Arco who is at Present in Chile, who had been assassinated, but as has been made known already, it was a namesake of his that was the victim of these Indians, and the unfortunate magistrate was the man. Advices from Chile to the Star and Herald says. The steamer Longavi be longing to the Compania Sud Aruoricana, while bound from Carahue to the north ran on a rock during a dense fog and is a total wreck.

FRAUDS ARE PROVEN. REPORT ON THE BAD CARNEGIE LABOR PLATES. Bold Breach of Contract Mr. Cum mingV Committee Scores the Com pany Government Inspectors Neg ligent Fake Reports All Persona Connected With the Frauds Should Be Severely Punished. Washington, Aug.

23. The preliminary report of the house committee on naval affairs, presenting the result of its investigation into the charges that armor plates and bolts furnished the government by the Carnegie Steel Company were defective was presented to the house today by Chairman Amos J. Cummings of the committee. The report is very lengthy aud is an exhaustive and mlnuto review of the caso. In opening tho report the chairman of the committee, gives ten charges made against the company, aud follows it with the admissions made under each charge.

Mr. Schwab admits, under the first charge, that the plates did not receive uniform treatment, cxplaiuiug this by saying that uuiform results alone were required. I The committee construes the specifications to mean uniform quality before treatment, and practically uniform treatment, when practically uniform results will necessarily follow. If uniform results alone were meant, there would have been no necessity for requirements as to process. The second charge, that false reports of the treatment of plates were systematically made, the committee holds, is proven by the committee itself of over 700 plates and bolts which came into the hands of the navy department.

FAKE reports. In tbis connection the records examined show that the figures in the reports were almost invariably changed, and in some cases entire new reports were returned. There were "fake" reports of treatment of plates that received no treatment whatever, says the report, and over 93 per cent, of the records show similar changes which were evidently made for tho pur pose of deceiving government inspectors. The reports were mado to mako it appear that the plates had received the uniform and efficient treatment required by tbo contract. It is evident to the committee, the report continues, that there were not enough furnaces to turn out the work re ported, if plates were treated according to coutracts speciucatious.

The charge that "specimens taken from the plates both before and after treat ment, to ascertain the tonsil strength of each plate, were stretched without the knowledge of the government inspectors. ao to increase their apparent tensile strength" is admitted by Supt. Corey, as is practically the allegation that "false specimens taken from other plates were substituted for the specimens selected by tne government inspectors, tie also practically admits that the charge that tne testing machine was "Jockeyed with to deceive inspectors. Superintendent Corey admits that par ticles selected tor oatiistic test bv irov. ernment inspectors were retreated with out the knowledge of the inspectors, but confines his admission to three plates, "a 488, a 531 and a 619." The report severely criticised Dotn tne United States inspectors and the contractors.

Tho in spectors, it says, were not corrupt, but the work of inspection was neirlleent and defective. The inspectors assumed that the company was watching its superin tendent ana; employes. The company, on the other baud, relied upon the in. spectors, asking in this connection "what were they there for GLARING FRAUDS. Both company and inspectors, the port states, were culpable.

The frauds are characterized by the committee as crimes for which no fine or monev com. pensation can adequately atone. lhe committeo do not feel the neces sity of drafting a criminal statute, but the interest or tne treasury, the live of our seamen, and the satety of the nation. demand that such acts shall be severe lv punisueu in au persons connected with i 5 ,1 them. "The efforts of the company and of Its superintendents, Corey and Schwab the report concluded, "have been to satisfy the committee that the armor is up to tne requirements of the contract, uoiwuusiauuiDg me iaise reports to in spectors, doctoring of specimens, plug.

ging of plates, etc. The unblushing character of the frauds to which these men have been parties, and the disregard or train ana uonesty wnicn they have shown before the committee, render them unwortuy or credeuce. I he only way to determine the actual condition and strength of the armor is bv subjecting certain plates of the groups passed by fraud to ballistic tests. The committee can go no further into this investigation without knowing the actual ballistic resistance of groups of plates passed by a test of plates that did not really represent these groups These tests should Do mado by the government if the company will not pay the cxnensn. The committee have selected the plates wnicn in meir opinion ougnt to De tested.

They recommend that the money necessary for such test3 be taken from auy heretofore appropriated for thS increase of the navy under the head of "armor and armament." THE WAGON RIDDLED WITH BULLETS. Arrest of William Clark, the Head of the otorions Family of Bobbers. Philadelphia, Aug. 23. A man sup posed to be William Clark, the head of tne notorious Clark family, who are charged with having recently committed numoeror roDDenes in the vicinity of Princeton and also in other parts of New Jersey, was arrested here early this morning.

The polico noticed a wagon, with ite top riddled with bullets, being driven slowly on the outskirts of the city and, suspecting that the driver was Clark, they arrestod him and notified the New Jersey authorities. The suspect says his name is Armstroug and denies that be was ever at Princeton, but eives no explanation as to how the wagon became riddled with bullets. The latter fact is what made the police suspicious, it being believed that the vehicle is the one in which Clark and his son made their escape from the officers near Prince on ton on Sunday during which a heavy are was kept up between the pursuers ana tne pursued, i ne man will be held until the New Jersey authorities are heard from. Tho suspect was given a bear ing this afternoon and held in $800 bail for a further hear ing. During the trial be denied that bis name was Clark and said he had travelled around the country with his horse and wagon working on farms.

He said he hud no family and that he came from Patterson, J. Tho man also stated that he did not know the bullet holes were in the car rlage until they were shown to him by the ponce. i THE RAILWAY STRIKE INQUIRY.

"We. can haul Pullmans on any trains we choose and need not haul them unless we wish." "Then you were not compelled to haul nilimans during the strike? "No. we were Mr. St. John was asked as to the num.

ana air. vv. a. otone, over the report of the committee on naval af fairs, upon the investigation into the al leged armor plate frauds. The report wus accompanied by a joint resolution (which was agreed to) directing the secretary of the navy to have plates now on certain ships removed and subjected to ballistic tests to determine their quality.

These are the plates in which defects were shown in the investigation to have existed and the tests were suggested to determine whether or not they are up to contract requirements. Mr. Stone assert ed that the Carnegie Company, while just as anxious for an investigation and tests as the house or committee, bad not been accorded fair play in tbe investigation. Tbis aroused Mr. Cummines, who made a spirited response, declaring that the Carnegie Company's interest had been more carefully attended to in the investi gation than had those of the navy department, whioh had also, he said, been on trial.

One or two private bills were passed. and at 1 :10 o'clock the house adjourned until to morrow. CONDENSED TELEGRAPH. Geortre Klinger shot and killed Isidore Deschel while stealing tomatoes on a trne.lt farm in Long Island. Tne employes of the Hockiner Valley rail.
