Objections to Taking Up the Kan- sas Relief Bill, —_.___. THE BILL PASSED IN THE SENATE. ——— SENATE, The House bill to ratify anagreement entered into by commissioners on the part of the states of New York and Pennsylvania, in relation to the boundary line between those states (on the Delaware river), was reported by Mr. Evarts from the Judiciary committee and passed with- out amendment. RELIEF FOR OKLAHOMA SUFFERERS, Mr. Plumb, from the committee on appro- priations, reported the Senate joint resolution appropriating for the relief of destitution in Oklahoma the unexpended balance of the ap- propriation made last April for the relief of the district overflowed by the Mississippi river, and it was passed. THE TARIFF BILL was takon up, the pending question being on Mr. Vest’s amendment (offered last Monday) to reduce the duty on tin plate (paragraph 137, Page 28), from 22 cents to 1 cent per pound, MR. MITCHELL FOR PROTROTION. Mr. Mitchell addressed the Senate in defense of the high protective system as being the pol- icy to which the republican party stands com- mitted. He discussed in detail and generally in terms of cofmmendation the bill as reported by the finance committee, qualifying his com- mendation, however, on the sugar question, and ase Soap opinion that the provisi of the House bill on that point were preferal to those recommended by the finance commit- tee. The delivery of his speech occupied two bours and a half, ANSWERED BY MB. REAGAN, Ho was followed by Mr. Reagan in an argu- ment to controvert @ position taken by Mr. Mitchell, to the effect that Congress has the constitutional power to levy taxes in order to regulate trade and industries A CATECHISM. He was subjected. on the part of Mr. Mitch- elll, to what he called ‘a catechism,” the pri cipal question in which was on what classes of imported goods he would have duties imposed in u tariff for revenue only—on those not pro- duced in this country or on those produced here and he replied that he would only have ad valorem rates, would tax tea, coffee, sugar, iron and steel and woolen and cotton goods, and would have raw materiala on the free list—but with a corresponding reduc- tion of duty ou the manufactures into which such raw material entered. He character- ized Mr. Mitchell's speech as an elaborate and ingenions argument for the subversion of the Constitution, in order to benefit the few at the expense of the many. ‘MR. PLUMB’S AMENDMENT. Mr. Plumb gave notice of an amendment which he would offer to strike out of paragraph 197 the provision imposing a duty on tin plate and to add to the paragraph a provision to pay to the manufacturers of tin plate made in the United States a bounty of one cent per pound. He expressed great doubt as to the effect of the proposition of the finance committee, He doubted very much that it would permanently introduce into this country the manufacture of tin plates in quantities sufficient for domestic consumption. He doubted it for various reasons, one of them being that he had observed that Ameri- can manufacturers had been swift to avail themselves of duties that gave them large rofits on the articles made by them and had formally abandoned the production of other articles that gave thom only small profits, HOUSE, The first business in order this morning was the vote on sustaining the decision of the chair overruling the point of order made by Mr. Springer of [illinois that the Nat McKay bill must be considered in committee of the whole. The decision was sustained—yeas, 114; nays, 31—the Speaker counting a quorum. RELIEF OF OKLAHOMA SUFFERERS, Mr. Struble (Lowa) asked unanimous consent for the consideration of the joint resolution for the aid of the destitute persons in Oklahoma, Mr. Baker (N.Y.) and Mr. Perkins (Kan.) had read telegrams setting forth the need of such aid, but Mr. Walker (Mass.) and Mr. McClammy (N.C.) objected, Mr. Belden (N.Y.) asked unanimous consent for the consideration of the bill granting leaves of absence to per diem employes in the customs service, Mr. Cheadle (Ind.) objected; Mr. Cannon (IIL). remarking that the House could not afford in one breath to object to a bill for the relief of starving citizens of the United States in Oklahoma and in the next to grant addi- tional pay to federal officers who were already receiving good salaries, ‘THE NAT M’KAY BILL. Tho House then resumed the consideration of the Nat McKay bill. ee A Virginia Farmer Arrested. Sheriff Williams of Fairfax county, Va., ar- rived here today from Herndon with warrant for Madison A. Kenfield, who was charged with having stolen two horses and a buggy from his wife. Policeman Kendall arrested the farmer soon after the arrival of the sheriff and recovered the property.

Sheppard of the ninth Maine as secretary and treasurer and a long list of vice preside November 7, 1891, was chosen as the Boston was selected as the place for the first annual reunion. ‘THE FEAST OF MEMORIES, The banquet of Gettysburg Post, 191, G.A.R., department of Massachusetts, held in Faneuil Hall last evening, was a brilliant event, and was noteworthy for the prominence of actors init, all of them being more or less publi; men and citizens of high standing. while the guests invited were foremost of the republic, Plates were laid for 250 persons and nots plate was vacant, After the delicacies had been fully enjoyed Commander V. Harrison Hume of the entertaining [ged introduced Gen, Daniel Sickles of New York, who was greeted with a deafening shous, Gen. Sickles related many reminiscences of the war, praised the Grand Army for its nobla work in these days of peace, referred to its records to the caisons of veter- ans as a time for their future guidance in time of emergency should the latter ever come. Commander Hume then introduced Com- mander-in-chief-elect Col, Wheelock G. Veazey, who was received with # tempestuous cheer. He said that the Grand Army of the Republic is the greatest organization of the sort in the world, but it seemed to him that it had failed to see the graud object and opportunity it has. In its ranks are half a million men—perhaps one-half of the survivors of the war of the re- bellion. It should have a larger proportion. It has the foremost men, uot only in public life, but in business life. The President and many distinguished Senators and Congressmen wear the Grand Army button. There is no reason why the organization should want more dis- tinguished men, but to look at the Grand Army only with that object in sight is the narrowest, the lowest view that can be taken. Continuing he said: Our object is not to promote the po- lvancement of any man, for we are or- anized for the loftiest purposes that the English Janguage can express, First is the FRATERNITY OF THE MEN who stood side by side in hundreds of battles to preserve their country, and second, the pro- motion of charity. We have done in the way of charity more than any other organization in the world has done. In Roberts Post, No. 14, of the Department of Vermont, to which I be- long, wo never allow any old soldier to go without a visit to discover his needs, to buy medicine, to cheer hum in illness or adversity. to bury him when he dies with all the honors that the Grand Army of the Republic can con- fer, But the idea that this is suficient is erroneous. Our idea is not only to help our comrades in distress, We should be ou the lookout for all veterans in the jurisdiction of each post to see if they were good soldiers, if they fought and did not run. If through their own habits or otherwise they have fallem on the way, let us say to them: ‘You are brave soldiers. Whatever has been your lot come into this organization which recognizes you as aman anda patroit. Join theelub house of the poor , the soldiers. Ask them in and d don’t be particular they lower in the social scale than you did. Thatis the ultimate work of the Grand Army of the Republic, you see old comradce suffer! and then go to Con- ‘oss toask for their relief, if you have first ne what you could for them, you will hear the le say that you may have almost any ition whatever.” Col. Z. M. Munzer, department commander of Vermont; Col. Cogswell, department com- mander of New Hampshire, ani the Rev. E. J. Renslow. Capt J. M. Pipes, color bearer of the old regiment of which the Old Guard Post is formed, then said: Comrades, whereas our new commander-in-chief has a daughter whose birthday was on the morning of the battle. of Gettysburg. and whose name is that of the famous fight, I have, with the permission of our officers and comrades, secured a badge of our association, and will now pin it to the dress of Mrs, Annie Gettysburg Veazey Walton. Mrs, Walton is the first woman in the country to be thus honored, and felt highly gratified with such an expression of the Old Guards’ friendship. —_—s___ BOILED WHISKY. A Big Distillery Fire Raging in Louis- ville. Lovrsvizixz, Ky., August 14—Just at 11 o'clock this morning fire was discovered issu- ing trom the bonded ware house of the Bear Grass Distillery Company on Storey avenue near Frankfort, in the extrege eastern part of the city. The distillery proper caught fire ina moment, and before the fire department could get to work the whole establishment was ® roaring furnace of flames. The tire spread to the Great Western Park jouse on east, and from that to the old Kentucky woolen mills, one of the largest jeans manufacturing concerns in the south. It is reported that several men were injured by the explosion of tanks in the distil- lery, butthis report bas not yet been con- ed. At present the prospect is that the loss will be @500,000 before the flames are checked. LATER—LO88 A MILLION. At1 o'clock the fire was still burning fiercely. ‘Twelve residences on the opposite side of the street have been destroyed or badly damaged. ‘The Old Kentucky Woolen Mills will probably be saved. Over $600,000 worth of whisky bas been destroyed and it 1s believed that the loss Will aggregate over a million dollars, Heat ote mena THE APPLE CROP. A Doleful Prediction of Failure in New England. Srarxorrerp, Mass., August 14.—This week's New England Homestead says: Apples will be scarcer and more costly this season than for many ® year. There is but half crop of winter fruit in the famous Annapolis valley of Nova Scotia, and a still greater reduction in the apple belt of southern and western Ontario end Michigan along the lakes. In Maine and limited sections of Vermout and New Hamp- shire there is a fair yield of apples, be in Maine. Throughout southern New Eng- land, New York, Pennsylvania, Jersey and the interior states generally the promise of winter fruit is worse than ever before known. The apple belt of western New York, along Takes Dalecis ana Erie, which in good seasons ships much more than 1,000,000 barrels to New York or foreign markets, has almost no crop whatever this year. The Homestead confirms this fact by the testimony of over 300 correspondents, aud be- lieves that the great majority of farmers in that region will not have enough apples for home consumption, Curiously enough there is one considerable area in Missouri and Kansas within «radius of 100 miles of Kansas City in which there isa phenomenal crop of Winter apples of fine quality. Eastern bayers arealready gobbling it up at good prices. Summer and fall apples aro also short and command good prices. The Homestead thin! that choice western fruit like prime Baldwin's will rale at @4 and 5 per barrel in Boston and New York within three months. Four dollars has already been bid for one lot in Addison cotunty, Vt., and the exports of apples from the United States and Canada of the 1890 crop will nov be much over 500.000 barrels, against 700,000 barrels last year and 1,000,000 barrels in 1858. Peaches are a prac- tical failure in southern Ontario and Michigan, as wellas in the southern states and Con- necticut. Pears and plums yield unevenly, but are far below an average crop and must command good prices. Grapes, however, are an im- mense crop, save in sections of New Jersey and the south, where the black rot is playing havoc with the fruit. The scarcity of other fruits will sustain the market for grapes. The shortage of large fruits is due to injury of the fruit buds by the cold snaps following warm spells lust winter and to scold wave and rain that blasted the blossoms, while drought in July caused much fruit to drop. The Homestend’s preliminary report on the potato crop indicates disastrous shortage in the south and west, a curtailed crop in New York and a fair average yield in New England, if spared by the rot, which is now making its appearance. Potatoes in Ireland are sadly blighted and are aleo rotting in Scotland. ee POWDERLY PREDICTS SUCCESS. He Thinks the Knights Will Beat the New York Central. Derrort, Mica., August 14 —General Master Workman Powderly, Secretary J. W. Hayes, J. J. Holland and John Devlin, members of the executive board of the Knights of Labor, met in this city yesterday. They denied that the meeting had anything to do with the present strike on the New York Central and Hudson River railroad. In spite of these assertions, however, they were constantly in receipt of telegrams from New York and eluded reporters as much as possible. Mr. Powderly was asked if he knew, as was then supposed to be true, that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Enginecra had decided to aid the strikers. He seemed surprised, and after a brief consultation with the other members of the committee he dictated the following: “No application for asai in this strike has been made from Assembly 246, which is im command, and the board, as such, can take no action until asked. We have expected that the Brotherhood of Firemer would take the action they did, of which weyhave been ap- ised. We also expect that the engineers will follow, as they have nothing left them, now that the firemen Dave come over to us. I want to state mght here thatthe firemen did not take the action they have because of outside interference, but simply because they desired to do it themselves, and they recognize the fact that this quarrel was as much theirs as ours. ‘The men had no intention of striking, but Mr. Webb intended they should strike and forced it by wholesale discharge of the knights. Mr. Holland was said to have been instrumental in starting this strike, but he really had nothing to do with it, Iam confident that had both sides placed the matter in Mr. Holland's hands Tho New York Central Going Along as if Nothing Had Happened. New Yorx, Angust 14.—The Grand Central depot had fairly assumed its normal eppear- ance this morning. Whatever may be seid of the status of the strike in Albany there is little or no indication that the railroad has been crippled here. Third Vice President Webb was in his office early this morning reading messages from various puints along the line, He had very little that was new to — “I made a tour of the line between here aad Albany yesterday and I found everything as quiet and the work going on as em as it ever was except at East Albany. This is the only eye sore we have got along the road If the yards were clear at Albany we could handle all our without the htest «difficulty. In my opinion the authorities have been lax in their efforts to preserve order there. If I had an Inspector Williams there for half e day you can bet the yards would be cleared and our freight service would be restored in quick time. But L expect titat in s day or two order =~ restored in Albany as wellasin New ork.” Mr. Webb did not put much faith im the Tumor that the firemen would be called out,and the strike on the I with the excep- ‘0 Croton locals, and these can be put on the road tomorrow if necessary, The officials say the now mon are doing as well as can be exp: in fact most of them— business is not yet established. It is said here, too, that this is due to the condition of thi at Albany, The police are still squatted ia groups over the yard and «large number of men ‘are, idly awaiting the snaking ap of She trains, which is proceeding rather slowly, Four way freight trains loft the yard yesters day for points between here and Buffalo, and one went west of Buffalo, Two trains were sent to Albany this morning, and one leaden with beef arrived, The trafic between the 65th street and the down town yards is fully estab- lished, MOVING FREIONT AT ALBANT. Atnaxy, N.Y. August 14.—Two hundred Pinkerton meu, about a quarter of whom are armed with Winchester rifles, took possession of the West Albany f rds this morning. New hands in «u ut numbers to operate the rds trom the Chicago, Burlington and Quiney Roading roads went to work, and about 10 o'clock the firet effort to move freight was made, The strikers are very peaceable and no violence is anticipated, eneral Manager Young, when asked as to the status of the Delaware and Hudson strike this morning, said: Supermtendent Hammond was in the yards at 8 o'clock this morning. Nearly ali the men who are out reported for duty. He said, however, that they could not go to work until = they had received orders from their committee, who are in consultation with the leaders of the Central strike. Mr. Hammond told the men unless they went to work at noon their places would be filled by other employes of the com- pany, who were now on their way here from various pointe along the road. ‘At noon we will have enough men to man the switches and handle the freight, the traffic of which will be resumed this afternoon. The committee from the men thought they would ask for another consultation, but we bave heard nothing from them as yet. The men are only out in this vicim From another reliable source ft was learned that the employes of the Delaware and Hudson: are only organized between here and % and there is no fear of # general up on this road. There is not much perisbable freicht here except what are rived this morning for the summer hotels up north and this will be sent up todey. The Passenger trains are running on time, 8 Bissell said there bad been no change in situation on the Central road. GETTING MEN IN THE Waser. Sr. Lovis, Mo., August 14.—FPifty-five mem left this city for New York last night to take the places of the New York Central railroad strikers, They were in charge of « Pinkerton detective and no one was allowed access to them. Their departure bas aroused consider- feeling here. Most of the men were strangers and it is said thet but fow of them were railroad men. Cuicaco, Itt., Augnst 14.—Inquiries around the offices and yards of the Michigan Central railroad yesterday evening revealed the fact that no symptoms of a strike had developed among the men employed by that company. A large number of the switchmep and brakemem declared that their grievances were not of such. importance as to cause # strike when the result Was uncertain. Regarding the afternoon dis he effect that 150 Michigan Central en had been sent to West Albany to ht for the New York Central, the men in the yards said that th: TT said that no men had been sent ound it any bad been sent from Detroit they wore uot members of the Brether- hood gf Brakemen. THE BROTHERHOOD MAY ACT. Avpany, August 14—A long meeting of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen was held last night, at which there was present a repre- sentative of the joint board, who had come om from the west to look into the situation here, He says that the joint board will hold an emergency meeting m Utica today to take im- mediate action on the strike, He could not affirm the report that Chief Sargent had acted inthe matter, but thought the brotherhood would not stand by the knights, as they were meeting all along the road. In bis opinion the strike was very far from settlement, INTERVIEWS AT CLEVELAND. Creveranp, August 14—A dispatch from Albany yesterday stating that Grand Master Sargent ordered the Now York Central firemen out and that the order was sent from Cleveland was shown Chief P. M. Arthur of the Brother hood’of Locomotive Engineers, He #aid: do not believe it, and I am sure Mr. Sam gent was not in Cleveland.” Grand Master Sargent arrived at 2 o'clock this morning from Terre Haute. Hastily alight- ing from a sleeper, he hurried to « carr where he was intercepted by an Assoc Press reporter, to whom he very pleasantly grauted a few moments’ conversation. When told he was expected in Cleveland to arbitrate the strike question on the New Yor’ Central he said: “I have come to Cleveland to meet & committee of our men from Youngstown to consider questions of business relative to the convention.” “Then am I to understand you are not here to look after the firemen's interest in the New York Central sti "4 “My trip has nothing to do with the strike of the New York Central.” Mr, Sargent terminated the interview entering a carriage, after stating that he wou be quartered while in Cleveland st the Hol- lende: P. M. Arthur, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, is also stopping at the Hollenden and the thought pevurell suggests itself that Mr. Sargent will be brought in eom ‘wot with Mr. Arthur, HOLLAND EXPECTS SOMETHING.
