He Arraigns the Speaker and the Committee on Rules, LIVELY TIME IN THE HOUSE. Five Minute Tariff Speeches in the Senate. —_———_———_ FLAX, HEMP AND JUTE SCHEDULES. ——> SENATE, Immediately after the reading of the journal of yesterday the tariff bill was taken up under the agreement limiting the discussion on each subject to five minutes for each Senator. Mr. Gibson withdrew the amendment offered by him last Tuesday to the sugar schedule, a mistake having been made in it, and he offered another amendment striking out that schedule and substituting for it the sugar provisions of the Mills bill, Mr. Butler presented a communication re- ceived by him from the State Department showing the relative exportations of cotton goods by Great Britain and the United States. He thought that the information might be valuable in view of reciprocal propositions. WHAT ENGLAND WOULD DO WERE IT NOT FoR THE TARIFF. Mr. Hoar, in connection with the subject, re- ferred toastatement which he hag recently readin the autobiography of an English gen- tleman (Mr. Glover) to the effect that a cotton manufacturer who had been traveling exten- sively through the United States said that if it were not for the American tariff England would shut up every American cotton manufactory within two years, Mr, Butler said he did not know anything about that; but he had been very much grati- fied and encouraged to see his republican friends enlarging their economics vision some- what, reaching out to South America; Central America, Canada and other parts of the world. And he had thought that the information pre- sented by him might be of service. It showed how absolutely Great Britain had control of the market in South and Central America and also in Asia and Africa—the value of the cotton goods exported into those countries by Great Britain last year being 177,000,000, against about $20,000,000 from the United States, He therefore asked to have the paper printed inthe Record. It was so ordered. ‘The presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls) announced that general debate on the tariff biil had cloeed with the exception of the reservation of the day when the final vote is to be taken and when threo hours’ time is to be allowed to each side. COTTON MANUFACTURES. The sugar schedule was laid aside informally and schedule I, “cotton manufactures,” was taken up, Amendments to reduce the rates in various aragraphs of the schedule were offered by Mr, irepiarson Mr. Carlisle ard Mr. Vance, and were uniformly rejected without a yea and nay vote, The committee amendments were agreed to. ’ The consideration of the schedule was in- terrupted and the Senate bill to nuthorize the Seneca Nation of New York Indians to lease lands within the Cataraugns and Allegheny reservation was reported and placed on the calendar. Mr. MePhorson moved to strike ont para- graph 336 (relating to stockings, hose and half hose) and to substitute for itone making the rate of duty 40 per cent ad valorem. Rejected— yeas, 20; nave, 27. Messrs. Paddock and Pluab Yoted with the domoerats in the affirmative. Neithey Mt/ingalls wor Mr. Manderson voted, FLAX, HEMP AND JUTE. All the paragraphs in schedule I having been disposed of scheduleJ was taken up,relating to ax, hemp, jute and their ‘manufactures, The finance committee had reported an amend- men. to paragraph $40, reaucing the rate on flax not hackled oz dressed from 1! cente a pane to $20a ton. On this amendment Mr. Washburn demanded the yeas and nays. The vote was taken and the committee amendment was agreed to—yeas, 32; nays, 14. All the democrats voted yea, ‘Ihe negative votes were given by Senators Allen, Cameron, Casey, Davis. Dolph, Higgins, 'McMiMan, Moods, Paddock, Pierce, Sherman, Stockbcidgo, Wash- burn and Wilson (Iowa.) The next amendment was that of the finance committee to paragraph 341. It was to reduce the duty on huckled flax from 4 cents a pound to 840 a ton. MR. CARLISLE SAID that all those raw materials—flax, hemp and jute—ought to be on the free list, so that the duty on the textile fabrics into which they en- tered might be reduced. He thought it use- less, however, to make a motion to that effect. Mr. Davis, Mr. Wilson of Iowa, Mr. Dawes and’ Mr. Washburn argued against the amendment and Mr. Hiscock and Mr, Allison for it. It was agreed to—yens, 33; mays, 16. Mr. Allison explained why the amendment had been reported from the finance zommittee. ‘hero was a great pres- sure, he said, in certain portions of the coun- try for the development of the jinen manufac- ture which found its home in New Jersey and New England. He had his doubt as to whether it could be successful in the immediate future. But in order to make ita success the House bill proposed to double the duty on linen fabrics, of which only the coarser forts were tmade in the United States. If the duties were doubled on the raw material, then, as a matter of course, the duty would have to be doubled on the manufactured fabric. If Senatots wero read: to do that they would vote against the amend- mdént. He was not quite prepared to do that, especially as he knew that not one particle of the flax produced in Iowa, the Dakotas or Min- nesota could be utilized for fiber, and at the same time utilized for seed. THE VOTE. The democrats all voted for the committee amendment and the following republicans against it: Messrs, Allen, Cameron, Cascy, Davis, Dolph, Higgins, McMillan, Mandorson, Moody, Mitchell, Paddock, Pierce, Quay, Bher- man, Stockbridge and Washburn, THE AMENDMENT ADOPTED, Inthe next paragraph (348) the finanee com- mittee had reported an amendment to reduce the duty on flax or kemp tow from $25 to $10 a ton. Mr. Sherman argued againét the amendment, He complained that the finange committee had not applied to the flax, hemp and jute schedule the samo rule that it had applied to other schedules, in which duties had stretched end increased, whilo in this schedule they had been reduced. . Mr. Davis and Mr. Vest the amend- ment as one that would favor the binding-twine —_ which was robbing tho farmers of the wes! The amendment was agreed to without the yeas and nays, BINDING TWINR | The next paragraph, relating to. been read Mr. Hoar si TWO CENTS. A DAY OF MEETINGS. Numerous Gatherings, Political and Other, at Saratoga, GREAT FLOODS IN AUSTRIA. Thirty Lives Lost by the Falling of a Bridge at Prague. ——— DEADLOCK IN MR. GIBSON’S DISTRICT- i LEAGUE REPUBLICANS. They Meet in Convention Today in Sar- atoga. Saratoaa, N.Y., Sept. 4.—The delegates to the convention of state republican clubs are favored with a model Saratoga September day. The day is bright and pleasant, the air dry and cool—just cool enough to sharpen the wits and refresh the body, leaving overcoats among the things not to be thought of. As early as 9 a.m. the leaders of the different clubs began to as- semble at the headquarters of the executive committee in Congress Hall, and hand shak- ing. friendly greetings and informal caucusing became the order. Col, E. A. McAlpine, pres- ident of the league. who has a walkover for re- election if he wants it. and it is believed he does, was early on hand. as were also Secretary Pierson, Treasurer Kenneth and the members of the sub-exccutive committee. Speaker Husted, Gen, James R, O'Byrne, ex-Police Justice C. A. Flammer of New York, ex-Presi- dent of the League James H, Foster, Chief Immigration Inspector John E. Milholland, Congressman James H. Doliiver, Hon. Sloat Fassett, B, B. Laird and John 8. Smith of New York were other prominent leaders who re- ported early at headquarters. Mr. Milholland is looked upon as the leading candidate for president should Mr. McAlpine at the last moment change his mind and de- cline re-election. John §. Smith of New York is a good second for the same office, however. and should McAlpine retire from the field there is likely to be acontest for the honor. But at this writing it is the general belief that the old board of officers. with a few exceptions in the executive committee, will be re-elected with a rush. Delegates are arriving on every train and if the ratio continues until noon, the hour of meeting, five or six hundred will be on + hand or nearly the full representation. The large and beautiful Congress Hall ball room, where the convention meets, is in readi- ness for the gathering. Atoneend of the room near the speaker's stand, a ballot reform booth has been erected. The new officers will be elected accordiug to the regulations of the new lawand the convention given a practical ilius- tration of its workings. The Unconditional Club of Albany is expected to attend the con- vention in a body,as is also the Oneida Battery of Oneida, At1l1 o'clocx the executive com- mittee went int» execntive session. The sessior o° the executive committee w: devoted to routine wors and consisted of coi sideration of finances, the standing of the league as to numerical strength, admission of new clubs and notice of those discontinued. ‘The number of clubs falling out and the num- ber of new ones added were abou: equal. It Was recommended thata committee of five be pppocated by the president to determine which club is winner of the banner offered by the Buffalo republican league for best pro rata attendance at caucuses and meetings during the past year, eee FELL WITH THE BRIDGE.
