CUMMINGS TALKS| A Breeze From the Kittery Yard Blows Through the House. OLD SHIPS AND ELECTIONS. The Senate Resumes the Debate on the Tariff Bill. J —-___. AMENDING THE CLASS SCHEDULE. ——~r—_ SENATE, The Senate met at 10am. and immediately Proceeded to the consideration of the tariff bill, the pending item being paragraph 107 on page 39, “Cylinder and crown glass, polished,” MR. BERRY'S SPEECH. Mr. Berry addressed the Senate on the gen- eral subject of tariff legislation, He denied the correctness of Mr. Hiscock’s assertion that the question had been finally settled at the last presidential election. The majority of the American people (Mr. Berry asserted) had not then declared in favor of the protective theory, butrather in favor ot the party that advocated a tariff for revenue only, Besides nothing that was based on wrong and injustice could be permanently settled. Sooner or later the right would prevail, and then, but not until then, could it be said thata question was finally settled. Both the Senator from New York (Mr. Hiscock) and the Senator from Rhode Islard (Mr, Aldrich) had treated every objection to the bill with impatience, had assumed an air of superior knowledge of the subject and had answered in many cases with a sneer any Sena- tor who presumed to question the correctness of their decision. SYMPATHIZES WITH MR, PLUMB. He could not but sympathize with the Sena- tor from Kansas (Mr. Plumb) and with the people whom he represented in the present contest. He trusted that the people of that state would see how disregardful of their in- terests the eastern states were, and that that would teach them to have a more kindly feel- ing for their brethren of the south, who were, like them, to be suffercrs under the pending bill, and who were to receive no benetit what- ever from it. He denounced the bill as a bill of false pretenses, sailing under false colors, and neither honest on its face nor in its pur- pose. It professed to reduce taxes, but it in- creased taxes, It professed to equalize duties on imports, but it made them grossly unequal, He believed that taxes should be jevied and duties imposed for the sole purpose of revenue on urticles of luxury, and not on articles of necessity. Andif prices were increased inci- dentully or accidentally he, for one, would re- gard it as a misfortune, asa thing not to be desired, but that could not be avoided. Under the wise, prudent and patriotic administration of Grover Cleveland the surpius in the Treas- ury had accumulated so that the question was how it should be disposed of. GUARDING AGAINST A DEFICIENCY, But now, at the close of one session of Con- gress under a republican administration, the question was how to guard against a deficiency. Aud yet, instead of meeting that deficiency in a way somewhat just, instead of imposing an income tax on the wealthier classes it was pro- posed to add to the burdens that were borne by the poor, ‘MR. WILSON'S REPLY. Mr. Wilson (Iowa) replied to Mr. Berry and expressed the discomfort which ho always felt at hearing # Senator discuss asubject in regard to which he had so small an amount of defi+ nite information as that Senator evidently pou- sessed in reference to the subject of protection. He read for Mr. Berry's information an arti- cle from the Fort Dodge, Iowa, Messenger con- trasting the condition of the farmer and work- ingman now and ten years ago and showing the great reduction that has taken place in prices of household and agricultural implements and of necessary commodities within that decade. The general summing up of the article was that never in human history would a day's Jabor purchase as much as it would today, As to the talk about depression in farming inter- ests and about the enormous amount of farm mortgages Mr, Wilson said that the farm mortgages of Iowa had been published at 000.000; that he had a profound conviction he saw that publication that it was not at he had set about to discover where the inventor of that falsehood had obtained his data, and that he had found that the amount of the assessed valuation of Iowa farms, according to the census compendium of 1886, was $567,000,000. So that the man who had been “seeking for truth” had taken the assessed valuation of Iowa farms and told the farmers that that was the amount of mortgages on their farms, ‘The governor of Iowa had set about a line of investigation to find out how much of a lie that wae and had found that the outside limit of farm mortgages in that state was $51,000,000. So that the farming depression was not the re- sult of avtual facts, but of the lies told about it, And that was the same in regard to other states, Mr. Berry criticised ‘some of Mr. Wilson's statements and some of the figures set out in the newspaper article from which he had read and which, he supposed, had been prepared by a man employed by the sugar trust and the coal oil trust, Mr. Wilson said that he knew the man who prepared the article and that he had as good astanding in the community where he lived asthe Senator from Arkansas had in the com- munity where he lived. ‘The discussion was participated in by Messrs. Spooner, Paddock, Butler and Call. ON THE GLASS SCHEDULE, The discussion was kept up till 1:30, when an amendment offered by Mr. McPherson to para- graph 106 as to sizes of window glass was ac- cepted by Mr. Aldrich and was agrecd to, No amendment was offered to paragraph 107, fixmg the duties on cylinder and crown Ings, polished. Paragraph 108, referring to juted, rolled or rough plate glass, was, on the motion of Mr. Aldrich,agreed to as it came from the House, except thut the description in the proviso was modified so a8 to make it apply to all such glass when ‘ground, smooth or i fer wise obscured,” The committee amendment was disagreed to. Mr. McPherson moved to reduce the duty on such glass, not exceeding 10 by 15 inches square, from three-fourths cent to one-half cent per square foot; on the next size from one cent to three-fourths cent; on the next size from 1}¢ to 1 cent, and on the next size from 2to lig cents. Rejected. ‘The next paragraph (109) as to ‘cast polished plate glass, unsilvered,” was (on motion of Mr. Aldrich) made to read “cast polished rate glass, fivished or unfinished and unsilvered.” Mr. Vance called the attention of the Senate and of the country to the fact that while a duty of 115 per cent ad valorem was placed on the lowest grade of polished window glass used by the poor the duty on the highest quality of plate glass was only 18 per cent ad valorem, Mr. Aldrieh ri plied to that remark by saying that there was such thing as polished win- dow glass used by anybody, and Mr. Allison added that the lowest eeace of window glass not pay a duty of 115 per cent, Mr. McPherson offered amendments to re- duce the rates,on paragraph 109, but they were all rejected, on HOUSE. — After the reading of the journal Mr. Bing- ham (Pa.) moved to lay on the table the motion (which has been pending for some time) to re- consider the vote by which the House passed the bill to grant leaves of absence to clerks in first and second-class post Fatt This was ocated Flower .), Who tha rectasad suala Seibomicd titeer! merchant would that the government privilege, denounced as a falsehood an article appearing in a Detroit paper stating that — conference between the Minnesota delegation and Speaker Reed relative to certain improve- ments of the Sault Ste. Marie canal, the Speaker had declared, ‘‘to hell with your inland seas,” THE KITTERY NAVY YARD, Mr, McKinley (Ohio), from the committee on rules, reported (asa substitute for the Cam- mings resolution) a resolution asking the Sec- retary of the Navy for the reasons for the in- crease of the force at the Kittery navy yard, In speaking to the resolution’ Mr. Cummings (X.Y.) said that he rose in defense of public morality and public law, which had been men- aced by a high public official, The order in- creasing the force of the Kittery navy yard looked as though the design was to use execu- tive power for partisan purposes. He referred to the great evil which would re- sult from the introduction of politics into the navy yards, and going back to the administra- tion ‘of the Navy Department by Secretary Kobeson, he commented upon the action of that official in filling navy yards with partisan friends just previous to congressional electiona, He charged that the Kittery yard was used for political purposes, and quoted figures to show that previous to elections the list of employes was much larger than it was amonth or two afterward. The majority of the men employed came from Maine, the state of Thomas Brackett Reed, He quoted at length from the teetimony taken by the Whitthorne committee in 1876 to show that the policy of the republican party had been to use tlie navy yards to expedite political ends, This policy was worse than the shot- gun policy. THE FIRE AT THE YARD. He commented on the fact that certain shops of the Kittery navy yard had been burned in January and that the chairman of the committee on naval affairs (Mr. Bontelle) had appropriated money for their repair in the naval ap- propriation bill, He contended, and in support of this contention he quoted from remarks made by Senators Allison and Hiscock, that it was not be in the interest of good government, of economy or of the navy to reconstruct these shops. Despite the remarks of these two eminent re- ublican Senators the Secretary of the Navy had ordered an increase of the force at the Kittery yard to reconstruct the shops and to repair the Lancaster and the Monon- gshela, Fifteen years ago a republican Secretary of the Navy had stated that the Lan- caster was not worthy of repair, and that the Monongahela was in a tolerable condition, with a speed of 10!¢ knots, (Laughter.] These were the vesseis the present Secretary of the Navy certified that the needs of the public service required to be repaired. (Laugh- ter} It was republican and not public service that demanded the increase of the force at the Kittery yard. The re-elec- tion to Congress of the Speaker of this House and the re-election of a republican from the first district of New Hampshire were desired, Thus the public would read the Secretary's cer- tificate and they would read it aright. But for the necessities of the republican party these wretched hulks would be left behind the dead line where they belonged. The committee on rules had reported (as a substitute for his resolution) a resolution which referred the whole offense to the offender himself. ——__—-e9e________ OPPOSED TO HASTE, Republican Senators Who Object to Cute ting Off Debate. Senator Blair stirred up s congressional hornet’s nest yesterday evening when he called for the reading of an editorial from the New York Tribune, in which it was charged that there had been needless delay in senatorial con- sideration of the tariff bill, Senator Plumb was first to defend the situa- tion. He read from the platform of the Kan- sas stato republican convention of last month to show that his constituents at least believed there was enough of protection under the present law. “So far as I know the sentiment of that western country,” said he, “it is not especially hurgering for ‘tariff legislation. I agree that, inasmuch as the subject has been broached, a bill ought to be passed, though I do not regard the paper which has been spoken of, nor any other paper published east of the Allegpany mountains, nor any other single paper, nor any other half dozen papers published in the United States anywhere, as necessarily representative of the sentiment of the American people upon this subject, and Ido know that if that paper which has been spoken of had had ite way and other papers which represent the interest which is driving us forward upon this tariff Dill had had their way another great measure which has been recently passed never would have been passed at all, to wit, the silver bill. “Therefore I take a great deal of liberty to doubt whether those utterances represent the wishes of the American people. I know they do not represent the wishes and interests of the people of Kansas, and therefore I am free to say that I think it would be better not to pass @ veriff bill than to pasa one that was not right; that to pass a bill for the sake of passing it is unwise legislation, and that if itis meant that we shall have a rule which will cut off debate. and thereby enable something to pass which could not by debate be passed, I should regard that as a perversion of legislative power and as a blow at free insti- tutions, * ei. Senator Telle- was scarcely less emphatic than Senator Plumb in opposition to Senator Blair's endeavor to chop off debate on the tariff bill. He said: ‘Ido not yield to any member of this body in my devotion to the protective ‘stem, I beheve in it, believe it is essential to the prosperity of the American people. — But f do not share the opinion expressed Ly the Sen- ator from New Hampshire ( Blair), as taken from one of the prominent, leading newspapers of the country, that there has been unnecessary delay in the passage of this bill or that the Senate is recreant to its duty becauhke it does not proceed more rapidiy with the bill, “While Iam in full sympathy with the pur- pose of the bill, which I understaud ix a re- vision of the tariff, putting it up whenever it is found to be too low, putting it down when- ever it is found to be too high, and while I do not propose to go into any discussion of the tariff, I want to say to the Senator from New Hampshire, and I want to say to the country itself everywhere, newspapers and others, that, so far as I am concerned, the pres- ent rules of the Senate have been sufficient for the discharge of the duties of this body in an orderly and decent manner, and I am prepared myself to resist a8 vigorously and efficiently as ‘Ican any change in the rules for the pur; of hastening the passage of this or any ol bill that may come before this body.” The Election in Kentucky. A general election was held throughout Ken- tucky yesterday for the clerk of the court of appeals, district, city and county judges, magistrates and constables, and delegates to the constitutional convention, the first to be held since 1849. The candidates for clerk of the court of appeals, the only oftice to be filled by the choice of the voters of the entire state, were Judge J. H. Tinsley (republican), Wood- ford W. Longmoor (democrat) and Mrs. Jose- phine i Henry (prohibitionist). Mrs, Henry is the first woman ever nominated for any political office in Kentucky. From returns re- ceived Woodford Longmoor, for clerk of the court of appeals, bids fair to have a larger majority than the democratic ticket received at last general election. Lieut. Gov.

Catcago, August 5,—President Palmer of the Avsvny, Angust 5.—Down in the basement of the prison building the murderer Kemmler sat on the side of his little iron cot, staring at the steel walls of his narrow ce! vaiting the call that should summon him to death, Kemm- ler does not know when the call will come. He knows that he is to die some time this week death as he and he is as nearly prepared fo: has been at any time. He ate a good breakfast this morning. If there was any doubt of h healthy appetite and his sound physical cond tion it should be dispelled by the story which comes from Dr, Sawyer, the hospital physician, Dr. Sawyer inspects all'the food that gocs to Kemniler. A few days ago he heard that the keeper who carr: he food down stairs had been eating part of it. He spoke to the ma out the story and the reply he received wos “Oh, Kemmiler eats too much. He licks the plate.” So far as is known only two of the twenty-one witnesses summoned by the warden have arrived. They are Dr. C. F. McDonald of New York, president of the state | lunacy commission, and Kobert Dunlap of New York. Dr, Feil of Buffalo was not here this morning. He is the man who tried his patent resuscitating apparatus on the calf and the horse | in the prison when they were electrocuted last December. The apparatus, which has been used with success upon persons who had | in the water, failed to revive either the calf or the horse. Dr, Fell may try his machine upon Kemmler. What promised to be a preliminary tragedy occurred near the state prison early this morn- ing. A. W. Honer. an electrician from New York who has been here for some time working for the warden, was found at 5 o'clock lying on the roadway under an approach toa railroad bridge badly cut and bruised. How long he had lain there no one knew. that he was under the influence of liquor when he feil. He was taken to the hospital,where he | was found to be severely but not seriously in- jured.

Roads That Use it Are Losing Business and Canada Koads Gain, THE NE test of the dynamo had been made within the last twenty-four hours, and that none would be made today. He is confident that the ma- chinery is in perfect condition. The under- standing still prevails that the execution will occur between midnight and 7 o'clock tomor- row morning. Kemmler’s body will probably be buried in the prison burial lot on Fitch ave- nue. This is a desolate patch of ground, bounded op the north by Fort Hill Cemetery, on the east and west by the property of cit zens and on the south by Fitch avenue. Kemm ler’s coffin was made in the shops several months ago. Warden Durston received a telegram today from ex-State Senator Daniel H. McMillan of Buffalo, who introduced the electricide bill in the state legislature, saying that he would be | in Washington today and tomorrow and there- | fore he could not attend the execution. This was the only declination received up to noon, Judge Childs of the state supreme court, Dis- trict Attorney Quinby of Buffalo, Dr. J. D. Southwick of Buffalo and Dr. Charles Fowler of Buffalo arrived during the forenoon and registered at the Osborne House. Warden Durston said this afternoon that Kemmler did not receive a letter from his brother yesterday. | The registered letter addressed to him which was received at the prison contained a crank’s request for his autograph. Many such re-| quests are received every day. | DURSTON ISN'T SAYING A WORD. The best judgment possible to be formed with the information at hand is that Kemmler will be executed tomorrow morning. “I don't propose,” said Warden Durston at noon today, “to state when this man is to be taken off, but | this thing is going to be all right. Are you going to spend your afternoon fishing?” he in- quired of the individual to whom he was speak- ing. The plain intimation was that the killing-is | not to take place this afternoon, which indeed nobody expected, but it leaves open to ques- | tion whether or not it may not take place | during the evening. This, however, is im-| probable. Several of the to-be-witnesses bave « arrived this morning, but not more thana | juarter of them. It is not likely that the war- | pb would employ the indecent haste which | would be involved in hurrying his witnesses | travel stained and unbathed into a room where they should witness the death of a human be- ing before having got the cinders out of their eyes. Dr. Carlos D. McDonald, the chairman of the state lunacy commission, was first of the wit- | nesses to arrive today. There was no mystery | about his movements; there was no “hush, | keep it dark,” ‘‘talk to me behind the door,” | style about his movemeuts, He strolled about the hotel, talked to whoever chose to talk to him, and had only the air of a man who was uponan errand, and time of whose consummation he frankly suid he did not know. Dr. Southwick of Buffalo of the commission which recommended the Jaw for | electricizing came this morning and with him | District Attorney Quimby of Erie county. Dr. Fell of Buffalo is here, also Dr. Jos. Fowler and 8. A. Kreiger of Cornin, The name of Robt.

No tidings of Kemmler’s condition has come | out of the prison today and inquiry about it bas almost ceased to be made. A POSTPONEMENT POSSIBLE. Avusven, N.Y..

At the same time itis also trae that roads using the new form ate losing business, For instance, the Grand Trunk received vari- ous offers of business yesterday from shippers, who said their only reasons for changing roads was because itu the new form. at the conference between ts and the railroads tomorrow will be a one-sided affair, as neither Messrs. George RK. Blanchard, F. H. Kingsbury or Prank J, Firth can attend. These gentlemen have ad- dressed a letter to Mr. George F.
