District Commissioners Refer the Senate Resolutions to Col. Robert. The first board meeting since the recont difticuly between Commissioners Hine and Robert took place this afternoon. The meet- ing was called by Commissioner Hine to con- sider the resolution of the Senate. Mr. Hine being vice president of the board, stated in clear terms the object of the meeting and then submitted an order, which Col. Robert agreed to, and which was as follows: “The preliminary investigation which _re- sulted in arraigning Lieut. Guy for trial before the board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia having been made by Commissioner Kobert that part of the resolution of the Sen- ate of the United States passed on the 2ist day of August, 1890, relating thereto is referred to Commissioner Robert for report.” A No reference was made to recent disagree- returned to the city | ments, and after the order was passed the meeting adjourned. ean ae SSE Marriage Licenses.

Within five minutes a quorum was obtained and business was pro- ceeded with, Mr. Pinmb’s resolution to prohibit the sale of liquors in the Senate restaurant was taken up, but, in the absence of its author, it went over until tomorrow without action. Mr. Hale offered a resolution, which was agreed to, directing the Secretary of the Navy to investigate alleged defects in’ castings fur- nished by the Standard Steet Company of Thurlow, Penna., for the Navy Department. THE TARIFF BILL was taken up—the pending question being on Mr. McPherson's amendment to paragraph 162, relating to files, file blanks and rasps. The amendment is to substitute for the classified specific rates (according to lengths) a uniform rate of 25 per cent ad valorem. _ Mr. Vest, referring to the discussion last even- ing as to the creditability of Mr. A. H. Saxton, president of the American Hardware Assoc tion, read several testimonials from hardware merchants in St. Louis, Memphis and other cities to Mr. Saxton’s honorable character, Mr. Aldrich asserted that there had been no attack on his side of the chamber, cither on the personal character or the business integ- rity of Mr. Saxton, or of the Birmingham or Sheffield manufacturers whom he represented, THE AMENDMENT REJECTED, The amendment was rejocted—veas, 19; nays, 27a strict party vote, RELIEF OF SETTLERS, The tariff bill was laid aside informally and the House bill to amend the act of 22d June, 1874, for the relief of settlers on railroad lands, was taken from the calendar and passed, THE DUTIES ON GUNS. The tariff bill was again taken up. Mr. McPherson inquired why “sporting rifles” (paragraph 163) were to be taxed only 25 per cent ad valorom, while shotguns (para graph 164) were to be taxed ata very high rate. Why, he asked, should not the “sporting rifle” industry be protected as well as THE “SHOTGUN” INDUSTRY? Mr. Hawley made a remark to the effect that Mr. McPherson was as much mistaken about that matter as he was about all other tariff matters, That Senator ought to know that Americans made the best rifles in the world. made the best use of them and wanted no addi- tional protection. “Let not the Senator from Connecticut trou- ble himself about my mistakes,” said Mr. Mc- Pherson. ‘Do we not also make the best shotguns in the world?” queried Mr. Vance. ‘We think we do,” Mr. Aldrich replied, THEREFORE. “Then,” said Mr. Vance in his usual droll style, “we make the best rifles in the world sud, therefore, we only want 25 per cent pro- tection. We make the best shotguns in the nd, therefore, we want 115 por cent pro- ir—The Senator should not make such @ statement about shotguns—an article of southern consumption, [Laughter.] Mr. McPherson—I shall offer no amendment to paragraph 163; that industry (muskets and *porting rifles) seems to be absolutely surren- dered. Paragraph 164, relating to shotguns, was pasted over informally, Mr. Aldrich stating that the finance committce had some modifica- tions of it uuder consideration, Mr. McPherson moved to amend paragraph 165 (relating to iron or steel plates, wares or articles, enameled or glazed) by reducing the duty from 45 to 25 per cent ‘ad valorem. Re- jected. Mr. McPherson moved to amend paragraph 166 (relating to similar articles enameled or glazed with more than one color) by reducing the duty from 50 to 40 per cent, A sf. LOUIS MONOPOLY, In the course of the discussion Mr. Vest spoke of the firm of Niedsinghaus & Co. of St. Louis as having @ monopoly of that business, having practically no competition, either from domes- tie or foreign manufacturers, That firm had been eminently and phenomenally successful in making money, so that one of its members had gone into public life. And the fact of a pro- posed increase of duty for its benefit made good the assertion that the pending bill was simp! to put more money in the pockets of indivd. uals at the expense of the consumers of the country. He denounced it as utterly impossi- o Mr. Aldrich explained that the paragraph ap- plied principally to enameled signs and that the enameling process in colors was three times as expensive as the process of making ordinary sheets of iron and steel, The amendment was rejected—yeas, 19; nays, 24—a strict party vote. THE CUT NAIL INDUSTRY. Mr, McPherson moved to amend paragraph 167 (relating to cut nails) by reducing the rate from 1 cent a pound to 35 per cent ad valorem, In the course of the discussion it was argued by Mr. McPherson that the 2ut nail industry needed no protection, as American cut nails were exported and sold in all the countries of the world, while the effect of protection was claimed to be (by Mr. Aldrich) areduction of cost from $6.97 per keg of 100 pounds in 1866. to $2 in 1390, and Mr. Vance wanted to know why “foreign paupers” should be supplied with CHEAP AMERICAN CUT NAILS. Mr. Carlisle denied the necessary connection between high duties and low prices and asserted that they were simply the result of that move- ment of humanity which had been goiug on since the dawn of creation, and Mr. Morgan gave the definition of ‘‘destructionists” to the protectionists on the other side, because they were (he said) destroyers of the people for the benefit of a few bounty-fed industries, He read an extract from the New York Tribune describing the system of taxation in Germany, and stating that “sleep was the only thing which the imperial government had omitted to tax.” That was, he said, a een true pic- ture of the system of the pending bil DESTITUTION IN OKLAHOMA. ‘The discussion was interrupted to enable Mr, Platt to present and have referred to the com- mittee oa appropriations a communication from the Interior Department, with a report from a special agent, as to destituticy in Okla- homa, Atthe suggestion of Mr. Blackburn it was ordered that, as tomorrow is assigned for eulo- gies on the late Senator Beck, the Senate shall hot meet until 12 o'clock. The discussion as to cut nails having been resumed, Mr. Morgan expressed his belief that no more iron or steel cut nail factories would be established in this country, as the use of wire nails was superseding the use of cut nails, and Mr. Aldrich expressed his surprise that Mr. Carlisle had not thought it best to have the duty on cut nails reduced in the Mills bill, which fixed the duty (as this bill did) at one centa ind, After a half hour’s discussion the amend- ment was rejected—yeas, 20; nays, 29. Mr. McPherson moved to amend paragraph 169 (re- lating to wire nails made of wrought iron or steel) by substituting for the classified duties (according to lengthand weight) an ad valorem Fate of 40 per cent. REJECTED AMENDMENTS, The vote was taken and Mr. McPherson's amendment as tocut nails was rejected—veas 18, nays 27- trict party vote, even Mr. Plumb voting no. Mr. Vance moved to amend paragraph 168 (relating to horse shoe nails, hob nails and other wrought iron or steel nails not especially provided tor) by reducing the rate from 4 ceuts a pound to 35 per cent ad valorem. The amendment was rejected without the yeas and nays. Mr. Vance moved to amend bh 170 (relating to spikes, washers and horse shoes of wrought iron or steel) by reducing the rate from 13¢ cents per pound to 25 per centad valorem. Rejected. Amendments to reduce the duties in para- graphs 171, 172, 173 (relating to cut tacks and needles) wore offered and rejected with but little discussion and without yea and nay votes, No amendments were offered to paragraphs 174, 175 or (relating to engraved steel esa railway fish plates and rivets of iron and stee Mr. Vest offered an amendment to paragraph 177 (relating to saws) reducing the rates of 8, 10 and 15 cents per linear foot (according to sizes) to 6, 5, 7 and 12 cents, and reduciug ad valorem rates of 30 and 40 per cent to 20 and 25 per cent. In support of his amendment he rend from the testimony of Mr. Emerson, a Pittsburg manufacturerof mill saws and circular saws (before the ways and means com- mittee in 1888), to the effect that that firm was able to sell its saws in Canada after paying the freight and the Canadian duties, MR. VANCE’S COMMENTS. Mr. Vance commented on the fact that Amer- ican manufacturers wrre supplying saws within the shadow of the English factories and in all the English colonies, and asked why under those circumstances the duty on saws should be retained. If that was justice he wanted tobe a man of iniquity; if that was political eccnomy he desired to be an igno- ramus on all those subjecta, MR. VEST ADDED SOME FACTS in relation to the absorption of competitive hand-saw factories in the United States by the firm of Henry Disston & Sous of Philadelphia, and to the sale of such saws in foreign coun- tries cheaper than in the United States, But he admitted that it availed nothing to bring forth such facts, as they had no effect on the republican side of the chamber, and as the bill was bound to be put through the Senate, ‘The amendment was rejected—ycas 20, nays % (Mr. Paddock voting with the democrats). Woop SCREWS. The paragraph 178 (relating to wood screws) having been reached, Mr. Carlisle said that that was another article which American manufacturers wore selling abroad very much lower than they were selling them at home. He produced price lists in support of his statement; also a letter from the American Screw Company of Provi- dence, R.I. That was another illustration, he said, of the policy adopted by the other side in allowing drawbacks on exported articles, Mr. Aldrich, Doos the Senator object to that policy? Mr. Carlisle. I do, unless it is extended fur- ther. I hold that it is not good policy or justice to give to the American manufacturer free, or substantially free, raw material on their exported products and to re- fuse it on the products consumed at home. There is where I object to your policy. He went on to say that ‘the offering of American goods abroad at cheaper prices than they were offered at home was not confined to goods where a drawback was allowed on the Taw material. He presented a bill of sal: for a gross of knives to a foreign pur- chaser. in which the stipulation was printed, in red ink, that the goods shall not be sold in the United States, Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Platt stepped over to Mr. Carlisle's desk and examined the bill of sale which he had produced, and then Mr. Platt said that the case was not made out until it was shown that the same goods were SOLD AT A HIGHER PRICE AT HOME. Mr. Carliste said that if Mr. Platt would deny the fact he (Afr. Carlisle) wouid undertake to furnish proof of it. And these were state- ments, he said, not by Mr. Saxton or any other importer, but by manufacturers and their authorized agents. They showed that (even where a drawback was not allowed) American manufacturers were able to sell their goods abrond at cheaper rates than at home. And yet they were demanding, not that the resent rate of duty be maintainea, but that t should be inireased enormously, 80 as to pre- vent them being driven out of business He would suggest to them that if they were driven out of business in the American market they might confine themselves to the foreign market in which they were now able to make a profit, and let somebody else come into the business here who would sell goods to the American people as cheap as those gentlemen sold them to foreigners. MR. PLATT ARGUED that the papers presented by Mr. Carlisle did not make out his case, and he expressed the belief that no Senator on the other side be- lieved, in his heart, that any American manu- facturer sold the same goods for exportation 50 er cent. as some of them had said, lower than he sold them for home consumption. Neither did he believe that any Senator on the other side believed that any American manufacturer made per cent profit on any goods that he manufactured. If any of them did believe so, it was a remarkable stance of credulity. HOUSE, Mr. Butterworth (Ohio) submitted the con- ference report on the bill making an appro- priation for an increased clerical force to carry out the provisions of the dependent pen- sion law. The conference report was agreed to, EXEMPTION. On motion of Mr. Adams (Ill.) Senate bill was passed exempting Jas. and Julius Lans- burgh of the District of Columbia from the ope rations of the alien land law. On motion of Mr. Wilkinson (La) Senate bill was passed granting American registers to the steamers Stroma and Marco Aurelia, THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. Mr. Henderson (Ill, ) submitted the report of the committee on rivers and harbors on the Senate amendments to the river and harbor bill, recommending non-concurrence in these amendments and agreeing to the conference asked by the Senate. Mr. Kerr (Iowa) raised the point of order that the amendments must first be considered in sommittee of the whole. This point bein sustained by the Speaker the House resolved itself into committee of the whole, Mr. Payson (1I.) in the chair, for the consideration of the measure. AN INCREASE OF FIVE MILLION. Mr. Henderson said that the Senate amend- ments increased the appropriation carried by the bill about five million dollars, It was this increase which the committee asked the House to non-concur. The Senate amendments were then read in sequence, ir. Kerr (Iowa) moved to reduce the ae riation for the harbor at Burlington, Vt, to 30.000. (The House bill fixes the amount of 15,000 ae the Senate amendment increases it to 000. 'r. Grosvenor (Ohio) opposed the motion and advocated a non-concurrence in the Sen- te amendment.

POWDERLY WANTS A BIG STRIKE The Railroad People Are Making a Grim and Ugly Fight. —o— THE COMPANY'S SHOPS SHUT DOWN. —--——- A DAY OF EXPECTANCY, A Difference of Opinion Among the La- bor Leaders. New Yona, August 22.—This is a day of ex- Pectancy in the railroad situation. No one kuows what tomorrow will bring forth.whether the great strike which it is now believed must come will be declared on or whether it will be Postponed till Monday. There were plenty of rumors afloat this morning in the corridors of the St. Cloud Hotel, which ix now the headquarters of the five big knights, The difference between the statements of Mr. Sargent of the firemen and Mr. Sweeney of the switchmen was commented upon freely. Mr. Sargent said yesterday that he and his three col- leagues—the chiefs of the orders which com- prise the federation—were unanimously in favor of Mr. Powderly’s declaration in favor of strike, and that they would advocate his views before the meeting of the supreme council which will take place in ‘Yerre Haute tomorrow. When Mr. Sar- gent and two other chiefs of the federation—Messra, Howard and Wilkeson— had left the hotel yesterday, Mr. Sweeney told a reporter that the position of the supreme council on the matter was the same as it was before the leading members of it conferred with Powderly, and that the four chiefs were not unanimously in favor of astrike. Messrs. Hayes, Wright and Devlin criticised Mr. Sweeney's statements rather unfavorably this morning. SARGENT IS BOSS, Mr. Hayes said: “Mr. Sargent was the only one of the four who was authorized to speak on the subject. What he said was not only correct, but, so far as the four chiefs were con- cerned, was official, He voiced the sentiments of Messrs. Wilkeson and Howard when he made the statement, and Mr. Sweeney, who was present at the time, did not dissent. if Mr, Sweeney made such a statement yesterday as has been attributed to him, he has certainly changed front.” “It is immaterial what Mr. Swee: says,” said Mr. Wright this morning. fluence in the supreme council does not carry as much weight as Mr. Sargent’s, who is the chairman, I believe the council will indorse Sargent'’s views. They see there is nothing else for all of us to do but to strike. The principle—the foundation—of the right of workingmen to organize would be aboliehed by a monied organization, and we have got to ight.” Mr. Powderly did not make his appearance with the other knights in the St. Cloud this morning. He had a busy day yesterday, they said, between the writing of letters and the composing of his manifesto, and he kept his room till a late hour today. Chief Arthur has not been heard from on Mr. Powderly’s perti- nent queries as to which side of the fence be is ing to encamp, and it is not expected he will until he finds out what the action of the supreme council of the United Orders of Rail- way Employes is going to do. MR. WEBB INTERVIEWED. A report waa prevalent this morning that possibly before long the mechanics along the line of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad would be ordered out. Upon this point Mr. Webb was questioned and he sai ‘Anticipating some ten days ago that by allow- ing the men employed in our various shops to remain was furnishing ammunition to the knights I at once ordered the shops to be closed. and directed that only enough Teip be retained to perform the actual necessary repairs that are required each day. At the present time we have fully 6.000 cars in course of construction at West Albany and 1,200 men were laid off. If the mechanics are ordered to stop work by the federation we are fully prepared to meet the emergency, and as the number of men that would be affected is comparatively small, their places would be rapidly filled.” 18 DEPEW COMING HOME? Adispatch in the New York World today from Mr. Depew. who is at Homburg, say: “It is impossible for me to say more to the World about the strike than I have said. While I am on this side of the ocean I can ouly reiter- ate unlimited confidence in my associates to deal with the difficulty, and repeat that to be successful @ corporation must retain the man- agement of its affairs strictly in its own hands. I leave here tomorrow morning.” The World says of this dispatch that leaving Homburg at this time, when the Prince of Wales is there and the social seasion in full blast, will entirely disarrange Mr. Depow's lans, and it is certain he would not leave unti ptember unless the circumstances were ex- ceedingly urgent, There is no ial place for him to go at this time of the year except to the United States. The probability is that he intends to get home as soon as possible and to take a hand in the fight, A gentleman who talked with Mr. Depew in Homburg last week and who returned to Lon- don says that the Central's president told him that it seemed as though the railroads of the United States had followed the Knights of Labor about as far as they could afford to do, and that the time had come to draw the line. THE CAUSE OF IT. Asaxy, N.Y., August 22.--Telegrams re- ceived in this city today locate the cause of Mr. Powderly’s letter to Chief Arthur as oc- curring in this section. The charge is that the striking Knights of Labor firemen’s places in this city were taken by the relief forces of engineers, thus giving practical aid to the road in filling vacancies. ‘he inference drawn was that the firemen are hostile to the strikers. Investigation shows that on the Sat- urday following the first day of the strike about thirty firemen between this city and Syracuse left their engines. Tne bloc! p not yet being raised has precluded the need of fill- ing all of these places, but such engines as were needed have been supplied by other engi- neers taking the of the strikers and taking the place of strikers, The employes claim oor were not hired to run a lodging house. Today a few colored people are doing the work. he patients m the hos; wernt gga Ment were removed to the general hospital. The fifty non-union men who quit work yes terday are making a claim against the Central road for wages and their fare back whence they came.

Superiniepdent Burrows also ed to pay them anything. The men are ereking legal counsel in the matter this mora- CHIEF ARTHUR'S SIGNIFICANT TALE CLEVELAND, August 22.—When Chief Arthar of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers wasaskefthis morning what reply he wished to make to Mr. Powderly’s open letter ad- diessed to him through the Associated Press he instantly said that he would be pleased to give Mr. Powderly the information be sought. The letter, however, must be addressed to him officially, as be never paid any attention to let- ters such as was published this morning. The osition of the engineers was well known, but Mr. Arthur would be giad to emphasize it if Mr. Powderly addressed him fetter in an off- cial way COUNTING ON THE ENGINEERS.
