Senators Still Pegging Away on the McKinley Bill. THE NEGRO AND THE TARIFF. The General Deficiency Bill Taken Up in the House. A DULL TIME AT THE GAPITOL- —-___ SENATE, The Senate met at 10 a.m. and acall showed that there were only thirty-two Senators (eleven iess than a quorum) in attendance. After a short waiting, while the sergeant-at- arms was supposed to be inviting the attend- ance of absent Senators, a quorum was ob- tained end the journal of yosterday’s proceed- ings was read by the secretary. After some preliminary morning business the teriff bill was taken up, the pending question being on Mr. Vance’s amendinent to reduce the duty on pig iron (paragraph 128, page 25,) from 3-10 of a cent per pound to €5 per ton. THE COST OF LABOR, Mr. Edmunds presented a letter received by him from Mr. Weaver, acting commissioner of the department of labor, giving the figures of the cost of direct labor in the several processes of converting the natural elements into pig iron, steel ingots and steel rails—the total being $11.59 for ston of steel rails out of a total cost of $25.77, or at the rate of 45 per cent for direct labor from beginning to end. Mr. Reagan remarked that that estimate was only one-half of Mr. Hewitt’s estimate, which was 90 per cent, Mr. Edmunds explained that Mr. Hewitt’s statement included all the labor cost, whil that now presented only applied to the direct labor cost. The question was taken and Mr. Vance’s amendment was rejected—yeas 17, nays 27. ‘There were no deviations from party lines on this vote, THINES IT TOO HIGH. The next paragraph (129) taxes bar iron. round iron, flat and square iron from eight- tenths of a cent tol cent per pound (accord- ing to classification). Mr. McPherson stated that the average duty in the paragraph was nine-tenths of a cent per pound and thas the duty on a ton of such iron (in equal quantities) would be €20.16. The iron referred to was iron of the lowest qual- ity—not charcoal iron—and the duty proposed was altogether too high. He moved to amend by striking out the rates per pound and insert- ing @ uniform rate of 50 per cent ad valorem. He quoted latest prices of English iron of the same descriptions and qualities, and said that the duty proposed in the bill was equal to from 65 to 80 per cent ad valorem, Mr. Sherman questioned Mr. McPherson's facts and figures, THE AMENDMENT REJECTED. After further debate MrjMcPherson’s amend- ment was rejected—yeas, 18; nays, 28—another strict party vote, ‘The next paragraph (130) taxes round iron in coils or rods (of certain shapes or sizes) 11-10 cents per pound; with a proviso that all charcoal iron shall be subject to a duty of not Jess than @22 per ton. Mr. Aldrich assured Mr. McPherson (in reply to an objection of his) that the proviso did not apply to pig iron. Mr. McPherson moved to reduce the various rates in the paragraph. Rejected. Mr. Vance moved to reduce the rate in para- graph 181 (beams, girders and other structural shapes of iron or steel) from 910 to 6-10 of 1 cent per pound. Mr. Gray asked to be informed why the duty on structural forms of steeland iron used for ships and buildings should not be reduced. ‘The duty should be entirely removed, he said, on such structural forms as were to be used in vessels intended for foreign trade. That could not injure any domestic business, because no vessels for foreign commerce were being con- structed in the United States, Mr. Aldrich remarked that a provision for that purpose was made in another paragraph. IN THE INTEREST OF AGRICULTURE. Mr. Paddock appealed to Mr. Aldrich, in the interest of agriculture, to agree to a reduction of at least 1-10 cent per pound on struc- turaliron. Mr. Aldrich hearkened to the ap- peal and on his motion the rate was reduced to 8 1-10 cent per pound, Mr. Vance’s amend- ment to make it 6-10 having been rejected. The next paragraph (132) spolies: to boiler iron or steel and imposes duties varying, ac- cording to classification, from 1 cent per pound to 31-10 cents Pe, pound—the duty on the highest cleas to be 45 per cent ad valorem. Mr. Vest, after an argument controverting the protectionist claim that low prices are the result of tariff legislation, moved to reduce the various specific rates inthe paragraph to 50 cents ad valorem. Rejected—yeas, 20; nays, 26—a strict party vote. The next paragraph (133) proposes a duty of 23-10 cents per pound on forgings of iron or steel. Mr. McPherson moved to make the rate 45 per cent ad valorem. Rejected—yeas, 15; nays, 28. The next paragraph (134) applies to hoop or band or scroll or other iron or steel, taxing it according to sizes, with a proviso that cotton ties shall pay two-tenths of a cent per pound additional, COTTON TIES. Mr. Coke moved to make the duty on cotton ties 35 per cent ad valorem, the present rate, and addressed the Senate in support of that amendment. He said that the rate contained in the bill was equal to 108 per cent ad valo- rem, and that there was no proper public pol- adding to the burdens of the cotton 3. The whole labor cost in the production of cotton ties was only 20 per cent—so that the present rate gave a bonus of 15 per cent to the manufacturer. THE NEGROES AND THE TARIFF, Mr. Vest alluded to the fact that, in regard to the three products in which the negroes of the country had the most interest—sugar, rice and cotton—they were legislated against in the bill, But that, he said, was easily accounted for. The negroes contributed nothing but their votes to the republican party. ‘Lhe cot- ton-tie manufacturers of Pittsburg had not asked for any increase of duty, and yet the bill increased it per cent. HOUSE. On motion of Mr. Bingham (Pa) a resolution was adopted calling on the Postmaster General for copies of the agreements for the tranporte- tion of mails between the United States and foreign countries, the conditions upon which the awards are made and the rates of payment for the service, ‘ TRE GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL. ‘The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Payson of Illinois in the chair) on the general deficiency bill. Mr. Reagan (Ark.) moved to strike out the clause iat 600 to Matthows in } fait roy eee ad term of ‘the -first Congress for which he was elected as from the Territory of Dakota. The motion to strike out waa, after debate, was, a: lost—63-64. THE CAPE MAY CONFERENCE. Mr. Blaine and the President in Accord on Reciprocity. THE PRESIDENT WILL RECOMMEND SUBSTANTIALLY ‘THE ADOPTION OF MR. BLAINE’S PROPOSITION— AN AMENDMENT WHICK MR, M'RINLEY WILL NOT OPPOSE—A MESSAGE BEING PREPARED. The adversaries of Mr. Blaine have not suc- ceeded in winning the President over to opposi- tion to his Secretary of State. The President and Mr. Blaine are in accord in this reciproc- ity matter, and unless something extraordi- nary happens to prevent it s message will be sent to Congress by Mr. Harrison strongly in- dorsing the general proposition known as the Blaine plan, He is now preparing such a mes- sage. The opposition will have to yield with the best grace they can or else suffer defeat. The President has not just lately been won over to the reciprocity idea. He has been in substantial agreement with Mr. Blaine on the subject from the first, only he has not been as enthusiastic, being by temperament a less san- guine man, and taking longer to come toa definite conclusion. When the subject first came up and some of Mr. Reed's friends and free sugar men in Con- gress took up arms against Mr. Blaine they thought, from the fact that the President had not committed himself, that he did not favor 4 fight against the Secretary of State. In this, as events will prove, they were mistaken. Mr, Harrison, instead of taking sides against Mr. Blaine, imposed upon himself the task of bringing the two factions of the party together and in doing so has accepted what is practi- cally the Blaine proposition as the platform on which they are to stand, He saw the ways and means committee standing off in one direction in a three-quarter breeze and Mr. Blaine’s craft inanother, Holding to both he saw danger of the administration being pulled apart and he saw danger in deserting either, THE CONFERENCE AT CAPE MAY. Mr. Blaine’s visit to Cape May Point was by invitation of the President especiaily to talk over this matter, They had talked it over be- fore without any marked disagreement, but no decision had been reached. At the President's cottage Mr. Harrison proposed to Mr. Blaine that the features of the Pierce amendment be accepted as ® compromise and Mr. Blaine con- sented tothe proposition. ‘The matter was still under discussion for some time after this, the question at issue being as to the business advantages to be derived from the acceptance of the reciprocity plan. The President then sent for Mr. Wanamaker, in whose business judgment he has the utmost confidence. Mr. Wanamaker was consulted and he gave a strong, even enthusiastic indorsement of Mr. Blaine’s suggestion. He was found, perhaps, to the surpriso of the President, to stand exactly with the Secretary of State in strongly advocating reciprocity as a business proposition, This ended the discus- sion and they separated in perfect accord, the general understanding being that the President would send a message to Congress recommend- ing the adoption of an amendment providing that after the expiration of eighteen months from the repeal of the sugar duty that repeal shall spply to only such countries as have by that time agreed to admit certain products of our farms and manufacturer’s to their ports tree. Mr, McKinley, it is said, will not object to this amendment. 4 TREATY WITH BRAZIL. If the effort to bring the party together on this compromise is successful the first treaty will probably be negotiated with Brazil, which is the greatest sugar producing country after Cuba, A treaty with Brazil had already pro- gressed almost to completion when the free sugar clause was adopted in the McKinley bill. Negotiations were then broken off, because Brazil was not going to buy something which we had already given to her for nothing, and we, therefore, had nothing to trade on. These negotiations will be resumed soon after the reciprocity amendment is adopted, WANT TO GO TO BOSTON. Members of the House Anxious to Ad- journ from Saturday to Thursday. Members of the House have been talking all day about « proposed adjournment of that body from Saturday night until next Thurs- day on account of the large number of mem- bers who wish to attend the meeting of the G.A.R at Boston next week. If the Heuse should stay in session it will be almost an im- possibility for members to obtain leave of ab- sence for the trip, and members of the majority are a little uneasy about going without leave and taking the responsibility of breaking & quorum. At the same time there are a large number on both sides of the House whoare anxious to be in Boston during the encampment, and it is certain that there is a considerable majority of the House decidedly in favor of taking a recess from Sat- urday to Thursday, Whether this will be really accomplished depends iv a large measare on the republican leaders and just at present these leadocs are putting in a decided negative to the proposal, One prominent republican said that there were so many committees clamoring for time that it would be an impossibility to adjourn without seriously endangering public business, The Speaker also is thought not to be very favorable to the project. All these little obsta- cles, however, may be overcome by the number of members favoring the plan, and at present it is about an even thing that the House will be given up tu the sweepers and sightseers from Saturday to ‘Thursday morning. An action of this kiad would of course deprive the District of another day, which naturally comes next Monday. About 125 members of the House have united in # request to the committee on rules to report a resolution providing for a recess of the House from Monday to Friday of next week. It is said that about sixty members of both sides of the House will go to Boston anyway. THE CROP REPORTS. Boards of Trade Protest Against a Change of Hour. The following has been furnished by the De- partment of Agriculture: The New York produce exchange, Chicago board of trade and Milwaukee chamber of commerce have made formal request to Statis- tician Dodge for a change from 4 o'clock to 1 o'clock p.m. in the hour of delivery of the this report, and opportunity is offered to un- scrupulous persons to manufacture and ieee tee : u ? i f i i KEMMLER DISCUSSED The Doctors Disagree Over the Suo- cess of the Execution, PRESIDENT CELMAN RESIGNS. A Batch of Political Events of Present Interest. THE LATEST FROM CENTRAL AMERICA —_ SHALL WE KEMMLERIZE, A New Phase of the Discussion of Electrocution Begins. Avsurs, N.¥., August 7.—The subject which continues to excite the greatest interest in con- nection with the Kemmler execution is the record of the voltage of the shock which killed him, It has been generally supposed that the first shock was 1,300 volts and the sec- ond between 1,500 and 2,000. Electrician Barnes, who was in the dynamo room, said to one of the physicians in attendance yesterday that at no time was the voltage more than 1,109 and that it fell frequently to 800. Dr. Daniels of Buffalo, who performed the delicate work of removing the brain and spinal cord of the dead man at the autopsy. has gone home, taking with him parts of the spinal cord and other specimens tor experiment. It is learned today for the first time that in the consultation of the doctors Tuesday night Warden Durston made a proposition to hold the execution at ¥ o'clock that night, but it was determined by a vote of those pres— ent that it would be better to hold it in the daytime, Wardon Durston stated toa United Press representative this afternoon that the remains of Kemmler still lie in the room in the prison where the autopsy was held yester- day. He has not decided where the remains will be finally buried. NO DISPOSITION OF THE BODY. Warden Durston stated this afternoon that the remains of Kemmiler still lie in the room in the prison where the autopsy was held yesterday. He has not decided where the remains will be finally buried. Dr. Daniels of Buffalo, who performed the delicate work of removing the brain and spinal cord of the dead man at the autopsy, has gone home, taking with him parts of the spinal cord and other specimens for experiment, THE FATHER OF ELECTROCUTION SPEAKS. Burravo, N.¥., August 7.—Dr. A. P. South- wick, father of the electrical execution law, said today in an interview: “I feel just as I have always felt on the matter. There is noth- ing against the system at all, and the fact is, there has been a great deal of senscless, sersational talk about the execu- tion. For instance, the big story in regard to the sickening spectacle of froth, saliva, &c., coming from Kemmiler’s mouth is ridiculous. It was a perfectly natural thing and was caused by the muscular contraction of the stomach. It was nothing unusual at all, In fact a party of ladies could sit in a room where an execution of this kind was going on and not see any- thing repulsive whatever. If the mistake of ordering off the current so quickly had not been made there would have been none of this talk. The burning of the flesh was also ex- aggerated. That was caused simply by the fact that the sponge under the elec was too small. A light current was pasting through then, and the sponge having dried out, the electrode just touched the skin. I think Kemmler’s nerve affected those there as much as anything. It looked to me, though, as an evidence of mental imeapacity, "He seemed to be without fear, and helped to adjust the straps in a way that was simply astonishing. No, sir, Ido not consider that this will be the last execution by electricity. There will be lote ofthem. Ithas been proved that the idea is correct andI think that the law is the best one. The execution was a success, Kemmler never knew what happened to him and died adsolutely without pain. APPROVES OF ELECTRICITY. New Yorx, August 7.—Deputy Coroner Wm. T. Jenkins returned to this city today after having witnessed the Kemmiler execution, He said that he believed that if the current had been kept on continuously Kemmler would have died easily, He did not know who it was that ordered the current shut off after the first shock when it was thought that life was extinct. He thinks killing is preferable by electricity than by banging, providing the current is continuous until life is extinct. WHAT THEY SA¥ IN NEW YORK, New Yors, August 7.—Dr. Spitzka, who was present at the execution of Wm. Kemmler at Auburn prison yesterday, makes the following statement: “The ——— attributed to a phy- sician from Bnffalo that the undersigned or- dered currents stopped or in any way directed the steps rendered necessary at the Kemmler execution ts utterly unfounded, No one in the execution chamber knew or could know any- thing about the voltage nor did any one order the current turned off. It was turned off in accordance with a previous understanding, Dr. Carlos MacDonald and myself (between whom and myself complete harmony existed), in being asked by the warden what time should be tuken,agreed to fifteen seconds, and actually seventeen were allowed to elapse. When Kemmler’s death appeared doubtful I suggested in a hurried way to the warden to have it in- stantly turued on again and it was the warden who gave the order then and there. “I went to Auburn solely tomake the exam- ination of the brain and not as an assistant ex- ecutioner. The dynamo, as judged by the ac- tion of Kemmler’s body, acted very irregularly. ‘Thefsource of this it will be interesting to ascer- tain, as wellas the animus which dictated the gratuitous and untrue statements of the person alluded to, if really madeby him. Asan avowed opponent, and as one known to be such, of the chetrical method, I went to Auburn, Under these circumstances it was scarcely consistent for me to volunteer as a performer of that method. Had cither my associate, Dr. Carlos MacDonald, or myself been able to anticipate such misstatements being made, we — should have declined to act in the medic: capacity which we alone held. My sole sugges- tion, coincided with by all present—the turn- ing on of the second current—was dictated by humanity in view of doubts as to complete de- struction of life, Respectfully, E. C, Srrrzma.” WHAT BOSTON SAYS. Bostox, Mass, August 7.—The morning ‘apers comment on Kemmler’s electrocution as follows: The Globe: The killing of criminals by elec- tricity appears to be a ghastly failure. If in- vestigation shall fully establish the truth of the sickening story that comes from the prison there will never be another legal killing by electricity in this or any other country. The Journal: The relative humanity of the new method as compnceh it Stn tara uj the question wi er Prisoner mnacious during the delay.

Loxpom, August 7.—A dispatch to the Time ering his resignation of the presidency Gen. Roca invited the members to express their opinions as to the advisability of accepting it Gen, Mansella opposed its acceptance on the ground that such action by the senate wonld be an admission of the triumph of the revolu- tion and of Buenos Ayres over the other Provinces of the republic. He declared that the action of President Colman in tendering his resignation was culpable cowardice, Gen. Roca explained that be had sacrified himself in order to show bow utterly impossi« ble it was for Colman to continue in the presi- dency after the mistakes made by the members of the prosident's party. Nobody, be declared, could serve a mam who bad shown such complete incapacity. He had gravely compromised the country. It was not Buenos Ayres alone which opposed President Celman, but every province of the Tepublic and every honest man was against him, Gen. Roca’s remarks were greeted with ap- plause. The vote on accepting the resignation was taken in dead mience, but when the result was announged showing ® majority in favor of accepting it the chamber resounded with cheers, Gen. Roca quietly left the chamber by a back, door in order to pe the joyful dewonstras tions of those present. There is mach re- jotcing throughout the city at the success of ihe movement to force President Celman's resignation, Itis probable that Gen. Roca will be min- ister of the mterior in the new cabinet, Senor Irijoyen will probably be minister of foreign affairs and Senor Castra minister of finance, Senores La Plaza, Uriburn and Garcia are also mentioned as probable members of the new cabinet, Dr. Delvalle addressed a mecting of citizens j last night. In the course of bis address he said: “The Argentine Hepublic is now secure, | 1t wall not have a government of robbera” — POLITICAL WORK. Nominations for Congress Yesterday and Today.
