Blaine had (through Jthe senator irom Maine) told the republican senators that if they passed the bill as reported they would not only destroy the possibility of increasing trade with the countries south of the United States, but would -bankrupt the treasury in eighteen months (for that was the meaning of it). Mr. Hiscock repelled the general charge that the result at the last election was the result of the influence of manufacturers and of monopolists, and he asserted that, in the ttale of New York, wherever democratic majorities were and he was glad to enter that list.

W. CHENACXT, President. E. The Senate Has a Long: Discussion Over the Tariff Bill Nothing Done. The House Argues Pro and Con Upon the Position Taken by Speaker Reed.

The Tactics to Be Pursued in Congress for the Remainder of the Session. FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS. Senate. Washington, Juljr 29. The senate met at 11 a.

m. to-day. After a call of the roll, in order to procure an attendance oi a quorum, Mr. Morgan presented tl jni adopted at a public meeting of re- publicans of Birmingham, against the passage of the elections bill. Placed on the calendar.

Mr. Sherman offered a resolution, which went over till to-morrow, for the daily meeting of the senate at ip a. m. Mr.Ingalls introduced a bill to establish a department of communication and said that it was prepared bv and introduced at the request of the Wage Workers' alliance. The tariff bill was then taken up, the pending question being on Mr.

McPher-son's amendment, offered yesterday, to reduce the duty on acetic or pyroligne-ous acid not to exceed a specific gravity of 1 from 1 yt cents to 1 cent per pound, and exceeding that grcvlty from 4 to 3 cents per pound. The amendment was rejected by a party vote yeas 20, nays 27. The clerk then proceeded with the reading of the bill, but he only got through two lines when he was stopped by Mr. Mcpherson with the remark that he was moving a little too hastily. He (McPherson) had something to say about the first line, fixing the duty on boraclc acid at five cenrs per pound.

At the present rate (four cents a pound) the duty 3 lAiatit nviu tv as i'j aim now it was proposed to make it 91.91 per cent ad valorem. It could be put on board a vessel in Italy at four cents a pound, so that the proposed duty would be 125 per cent. He quoted a statement of Mr. Niedringhaus before the finance committee to the effect that boracic acid could be produced in California at two cents a pound; so that the proposed duty would amount to 225 per cent ad valor, em. He moved to reduce the rate from five cents to three and one-half cents a pound.

Themotion was rejected by a party vote yeas 25, nays 30. Mr. Jones of Arkansas, addressed the senate in opposition to the bill, which he characterized as the most radical and extreme measure of protection ever presented. It was a practical declaration on the part of the republican party that the war tariff was never to be reduced, but the exorbitant taxes were to be permanent and to be a declaration of war against foreign commerce. Referrine to the Farmers' Alliance, he declared that that man read the signs of times amiss who believed that the old policy was to continue much longer.

He firmly believed that the present period of "protection gone mad," would inaugurate a movement that would, in its effects and consequences surpass previous upheavals of the kind. The protective system, would be crushed and cast out as an utter abomination. The next line of the bill having been read by the clerk "cheomic acid, 6 cents per hundred," it was moved to amend by substituting the existing dutv, 15 per cent ad valorem. Mr. Gorman said that the democratic senators wanted a free discussion of the bill and nothing more.

They wanted it considered Intelligently, but the republicans wanted to rush it through the senate at railroad speed. He warned the senator from Rhode Island, (Mr. Aldrich) that he would expedite the passage of tne bill by ra ik and honest statements of what was contained in it? Mr. Aldrich said that in iSSS the tariff had been discussed in every field and workshop, and on every housetop, and there was no occasion for any man to plead ignorance of what the question meant, or of the provisions of a bill which had been before the senate and the country for three years. The country understood that the explanation and the attempt to drive republican senators to make stump speeches for political ef-, feet was simply to delay affairs, and was destructive to every business interest; but withstanding, the senators from the republican side of the chamber would not be led, is far as he (Mr.

Aldrich) could control them, into that kind of general debate of the bill. As the question came up Item by item, the members of the finance committee would be ably prepared to show, and conclusively, from a protective standpoint, that the charge would be justifiable. Mr. Gorman reminded the republican side of the chamber of Mr. Plumb's statement that the party was in danger, and of his warning that it would have to increase taxation within eighteen months.

He also referred to Mr. Blaine .1 k-t WLm LUC IM1C tlltttl WUU IIAU UCC1I auC bring the republican party into line; as the only man who had the courage and ability to answer President Cleveland's tariff measure, that gave to the drooping republicans hope and faith and final vic CHENAULT, Vice President. rolled up, the steps of the whisky interests could be marked. The saloon and the tippling shop had been the recruiting stations ot tne democrats, it was not in the great manufacturing centers of New York state that the largest republican majorities were rolled up, but In the ag ricultural portions ot the state, while the foreign population of the cities were the national allies and constituents of the democratic party. In reference to a statement ss to the refusal of the finance committee to give hearings to persons interested, Mr.

His cock said that it had refused to give a hearing to the representatives of the manufacturers of Germany, France, En gland and Belgium. The place for them to be heard was where the democratic members were in conference. He did not know how muc money had been con tributed to the democratic election fund by those interests, but he knew that every day that the tariff bill was delayed was largely to the profit of the foreign manufacturers. They were interested in its defeat. JMr.

Voorhes congratulated Mr. Gor man on his great victory in breaking in on the pre-determined silence of the re publican side of the chamber. As to the speech of the senator from New York, which had been extorted under the lash, it was the same old tirade of calumny and abuse against the democratic party. If that was all there was of it, he (Mr. Voorhees) wou let it go.

But it seemed that there was no one to speak fairly for the great democratic city of New York. He arraigned that senator for his slander of that c.ty, simply because it was opposed to him politically. The senator had spoken of the vice and crime and intemperance ot New York, but he (Mr. Voorhee6) asserted that the very Gibraltar of the re publican party in that city, the only district in which it had increased its majority of late, was the Eighth assembly district, where Johnny O'Brien had been leading the worst elements of socialists, and where immorality, vice and crime of all descriptions were so rife that a man's life was not safe there aster sundown. The senator (Mr.

Hiscock) owed an apology to the great metropolis on Manhattan island. He had heard such stigma attempted to be cast on New York before, but it ill-became one of her sons to retail that old time slander in the senate. After further debate the bill was lai-J aside and the house joint resolution to continue appropriations under existing laws, up to the 14th of August, was presented, discussed and passed. After another discussion the senate adjourned. House.

Washington, July 29. Speaking on one of the senate amendments to the sundry civil bill, this afternoon in the house, Mr. Struble of Iowa, made a bitter attack upon Speaker Red for his action toward gentlemen having interest in publi building bi Is. He contrasted the courteous manner of Speaker Carlisle towards all gentlemen requesting recognition with the almost sneering manner in which the present speaker treated such requests. The speaker treated the members as though tney were boys, he said.

He did not propose to scand this oort of treatment any longer without protest Should the members, he asked, continue to submit 'onger, like cowards, to the speaker? Should they not rather combine together in an honest attempt to have recognition? He was for rebellion against the rulings of the speaker in regard to public bills Mr. Struble's remarks were vigorously applauded by the democrats. Mr. Cannon thought tha the gentleman from Iowa had better have withhe'd his attack upon the speaker. He (Mr.

Cannon) did not feel called upon to defend the speaker. The speaker needed no defense at his hands. Republican applausej. The country had approved the action of the speaker and the action of the republican side of the house. Mr.

Peters of Kansas, defended the speaker's action, contending that it was in line with the action of former speak ers. Mr. Struble said that the statement that the members with public building bills has not been fairly treated was a fact that he alleged before the house and before the country. He agreed that the work of this house during this session had been a grand work. He would go from this hall and argue that this house had done a grand work, and had passed many bills for which it was entitled to the gratitude of the country, but that did not deter him from 'protesting against the indignity put upon him and other members.

During the last session bills were approved for public buildings in the south in places of 7,000 inhabitants, and yet the Sioux City bills had been vetoed. That was passed and gone. But as he had said before, the last house had never failed to give courteous treatment to members on the republican side. If a few members of the republican side of the houe had received courteous treatment, he and many triers, had not, and he did not hesitate to say so. Mr.

McClammy of North Carolina, in a one minute speeecn, expressed his pie. sure at being in company with his distinguished brethren, Messrs. Struble. Ewartand Coleman. This was feudal, FIRST NATIONAL BANK, ORGANIZED IN 1871 CAPITAL LARCEST PAID UP CAPITAL IN SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS.

Piesldent Har rison to-day sent the following message to congress To the Senate and House of Representa tives: The recent attempt to secure a charter from the stute of North Dakota for a lottery company, the pending effort to obtain from the state of Louisiana a re newal of the charter of the Louisiana State Lottery, and the establishment of one or more lottery companies at adja cent towns near our borders, have served the good purpose of calling public attention to the evil proposed.

If the baneful effects oi the lotteries were confined to the states that give the companies corporation powers and a license to conduct business, the citizens ot oLher states, being powerless to apply legal remedies, might clear themselves of responsibility by the use of such moral agencies as were wienie tneir reacn. jsui tne case is not so. The people of all the states are debauched and defrauded. The 1 vast sums of money offered to the states 1 for charters are drawn from he people of the Un'tcd States, and the 'general gov-ernment, through its mail system, is' made the effective and profitable medium of intercourse between the lottery company and its victims. The use of the mails is quite as necessary to tne company as the state license.

It would be practically imoo-sible for the companies to exist if the mails were once ef. fectually closed against their advertise ments and remittances. ine use of the mails by these companies is a prostitution of an agency only intended to serve the purposes of legitimate trade, and a prompt social intercourse. It is not necessary, i am sure, ior me to attempt to portray the robbery of the poor and the widespread corruption of public and private morals which are the necessary incidents 01 tnese lottery schemes. The national capital has become a sub-headquarters of the Louisiana Lottery company, and its numerous agents and attorneys are conducting here a business involving probably a larger use of the mails than that of any legitimate business interest in the District of Columbia.

Margaret Oestereick, 50 years; Henry Koop, 9" years, and Willaml Beigel, 12 years. Just how many persons went over into the water is not known, but some eyewitnesses of the disaster say that a great number of people, men, women and children, were sitting on the starboard side when the crash occurred and immediately disappeared. Captain Eohannon, when interviewed, said that his boat, the Virginia, struck the starboard quarter of the Louise about the after gangway. The collision nearly turned the Virginia around, so great was the force. There was no great excitement aboard the boat, although when the collision occurred a man, one lady and a child climbed over.

They did" not return. "When I left the Louise," he 6aid, "I saw no one in the water. If any went overboard they must have been under the water, not on top. When the collision occurred the people on the Louise rushed to the side where the Virginia struck. do not want to cast any re Section on the captain of the Louise, but I believe he was wrsng." The captain of the Louise disclaims all responsibility for the accident, and that the blame is entirely with the Bay Line steamer.

The Louise was carrying 1,420 passengers, and the scene on board was terrifying. It is 6aid that the collision resulted from the efforts of the steamers to avoid a schooner In tow of a tugboat. The weather was thick and rainy. The Virginia struck the Louise on the starboard side, cutting away the outer woodwork and crashing into the saloon. The Virginia's stern was badly twisted and her bow stove in.

A Terrible Deed. Kansas City, July 2Q. Laffe Bonne-wilz, a young married Russian, 24 years of age, was arrested last night by Police-men O'Connor and Huxley. The police had been looking for him for two weeks. Bonnewitz worked in Fowler's pecking house.

He made the acquaintance of Emilie Mosing, a pretty and innocent German eirl. who is 22 yeais of age, but looks younger. She came from Germany with her parents tro years ago and lived wiih them on a farm near Havensville, until two months ao, when she came to Kansas City and found employment at Mrs. Wall's boarding house on James Street. xnere uonne-witz met her.

Two weeks ago to-night he took her out, with the understanding that they were going to Troost park. He led her to a disreputable bouse on Wvomine street. She refused to enter, but he seized her and shoved her Into the house. By threats and by force she was compelled to remain with Eenne-witz until o'clock the next morning, when he went away, leaving her to go home as best she csuld. The girl returned Mis.

Wall's and told her story. The police of Kansas City, Ks were apprised of the crime and nave been looking tor xonnewitz. ino complaint was made to the police on this side of the line until last. evening shortly before the arrest. It was supposed that the crime was committed in Kansas City, until this morning when the young woman was taken to the St.

Louis avenue police station, and, accompanied by an ofheer, pointed out the plaje on Wyoming street. Bonnewitz will be arratnged betore ustice Maybury Thursday afternoon. No Bight to Interfere. Springfield, 111., July 29. The senate spent the entire morning session to-day discussing and acting on various amend ments and substitutes tor tne proposed world's fair constitutional amendments, and, after adopting a substitute which made merely verbal changes, took a recess.

In the house the response of the Chi cago world's fair directors to the request of the house for information in regard to the double site was read and referred to a joint committee. A resolution, hereto fore introduced, mat 11 De tne 6ense 01 the hou6e that the world's fair should be held on a single site, came up as a special order. An amendment was Introduced that it be the sense of the house that Garfield park or some other West Side locality should be selected as this single site, but it was promptly laid on the table. The following resolution was introduced and passed: Resolved, That it is the deliberate judgment of the house that we have no right or power to mane or alter tne site a of the world Columbian exposition as fixed or determined upon by the national commission and the local directors. The house then adjourned until 2 o'clock.

Laughter. The speaker could say "I am monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute; From the center right down to the sea, I am lord of the fowl and the brute." Laughter. He thought that there was some consolation in what the gentleman irom North Carolina had to say to the gentleman from Iowa on this funeral occasion about the dying song of the swan. The speaker might exclaim that swans sang before they died, but that certain persons died before tbey sang. Laughter.

He was opposed to a building for the supreme court. The house had just refused to furnish a new building for the government printing office to preserve the utterances of the immortal and distinguished men who sat upon this floor. VVhy should moje be done for the supreme court? First provide for the members; give them a place where they could revise their proofs; give them a place where they could go and bury their remarks in congressional and then the house could attend to the supreme court, if it had not already attended to it In the passage of the original package bill. Laughter.) The amendment was non-concurred in. The having concluded their consideration of all other amendments, recurred to the consideration of the irrigation amendment, which had been passed over temporarity.

It was agreed that the debate on this amendment should be limited to four hours. The committee then arose and the house adjourned. Congressional Doings. Washington, July 29. The republican members of the senate committee on finance believe that an uninterrupted discussion of the amendments to the tariff bill would dispose of it about September 1st, but it will be impossible to keep the bill before the senate continuously, as the conference reports on appropriation bills will occupy a week in the aggregate.

It is therefore calculated that the tariff oill will not be disposed of before September 10th. The republican senators caucussed last night and decided that the senate hereafter should meet at 10 o'clock instead of at 11, as heretofore. In pursuance of the understanding reached in the republican caucus last night, Sena'ar Frye had a conference today with the members of the finance committee. It was agreed among them that August 8th, the river and ha.bor bill should be taken up for consideration and pressed to a determination, the tariff bill to be laid aside until it is disposed of. The democrats of the house have agreed upon a new Hue of tactics for the purpose of harassing the republicans and to extend the session to October at least.

The democratic members have been in formed that they must make their arrangements for an extraordinarily long session, but that they will be granted leaves in their turn in order to go home and fix their fences for renomination those who are candidates to return. The policy has been adopted consequently of fighting everything and anything "that shows its head in the house. The talkers are to be utilized for all that they are worth and are to hold themselves at the disposal of the leaders to spak whenever they are called upon. "The country might as well settle down to the conviction that it will be months yet before congress will get away," said a congressman to-day. THE NEW RULES DISAPPOINTING.

When the new rules under which the house of representatives is now working were adopted a good deal was heard about the way they would expedite business. After the house had been in session about seven months, on June 30th, the expiration of the fi- cal year, it was found that not half of the appropriation bills for the year beginning this month had been passed. It was therefore necessary to ru6h through a resolution extending the fi.cal year to July 30th. The end of the extension is approaching and several appropriation bills are still undisposed of. Chairman Cannon of the committee on appropriations was, therefore, forced to offer another resolu tion extending the extension to August 14th, by which time he expects to have all the bills passed.

That will he more than six weeks after the year during which the money is needed has begun. Cannon's resolution was passed. The Silver Bill. Washington, July 29. In the house today Representative Oates, of Alabama, offered for reference to the committee on rules a resolution reciting an editorial published In the National Economist of July 26, 1S90, an organ cf the Farmers' Alliance, aeciaring mat tne Donanoiaers were now happy, and that their bonds would be paid now in gold only, stating that it would be Interesting to know how many millions it took to force this bill through congress, and charging that in these days of corruption and trickery, men do not change their constituency without a consideration.

The resolution further recites that the bill (the silver bill) has been passed through congress by bribery and corrup tion, and that the integrity of the house demands that the truth or falsity of the charges shall be established, and provid ing that a committee ot seven members be appointed to investigate the charges. iracgener Demies It.
