GOADING MR. MILLS Republican Senators Make Remarks About His Favorite Principle. Senator Frye is Reminded of a Fish Story—Some Sharp Retorts Elicited From Senator Voorhees. The republicans of the Senate, encour- aged by the speech of Mr. Mills on Wednes- day, yesterday endeavored to draw him out still further by addressing their remarks on the tariff bill to him. Senator Allison was the only one to succeed, which he did by means of his speech of the early after- noon on the subject of ad valorem duties, when speaking on the chemical schedule. Mr. Mills said: “My friend has mentioned the fact that there were sorfe specific du- ties in the Mills bill. I want to say here, once for all, that I worked for six months at home by myself to prepare a@ bill, and | nad it pfinted here for my own satisfaction, so as to enable me to proceed more easily with the work on the Walker tariff, without a single specific rate in it except on those articles the like of which bear an internal revenue tax in the United States—whisky, perhaps. When I got to work with my brethren on the bill I found it would not go, and I had to abandon my ad valorem tariff bill. The schoolmaster had not been suftl- ciently around, and for a long enough time, to bring our people back to the democratic principle of taxation according to value. Two of my friends who sit near me here”’— referring to Senators Jones and Vest— “know that when we started to revise and look over the pending bill, when it came to us from the House, I again went back to my first love, the Walker tariff, and started to make a bill to reform this one. “I wish there were forty-four Senators on this side of the chamber who would vote | with me to put every single one of these chemicals on the free list. It would remit about $10,000,000 of revenue, but I do not know where you could give it away to such advantage to the whole country as in the chemical schedule. If we followed it up by a few other things, if we would untax coal | and machinery and oil, then you would see, instead of these poor, distressed people com- ing here from all points of the compass, fol- lowing an ignis fatuus, begging for bread, we would produce a very different condition of things. I do not expect to take much part in the discussion of this bill. There is a very able committee in charge of it; they are masters of the subject; I know most of them are in thorough harmony with me.” Mr. Chandler's Goad. Mr. Mills, after a running debate with Mr. Aldrich for half an hour, left the chamber, but returned to vote on Mr.Allison’s amend- ment, and when the debate was resumed Mr, Chandler took a turn at the effort to get the Texas reformer to speak. After re- ferring generally to the subject of specified duties, he said: “The Senator from Texas will undoubtedly part with regret from this | favorite principle of his, but he has parted from everything else, and why should not he give up this principle as well as every- thing else? He said yesterday that if when the bill is ready to pass it reduces the du- ties of the McKinley law by 5 cents he will | vote for it and show his heroic devotion to the supposed principles of the party to which he belongs. If he has got down to a benefit of 5 cents in his great reform cru- sade, why will he not, with equal equanim- ity, and with no more agony, consent to | had been, tn fa give up his great hobby of ad valorem in- Stead of specific dutie: Mr. Chandler quoted from various author- ities to demonstrate the uncertain nature of ad valorem duties, and referred to ru- mors that consular’ officers abroad are rone to undervalue goods This reminded r. Frye of an experience, and he told how he had encountered a consul at a leading German port, who filled out his invoices in blank, signed them, affixed the seal of the United States, and then sold them in pack- ages of from five to twenty-five at $2.50 each. “Is the Senator quite sure that he is not -| confusing consular certificates with 1868 naturalization papers in New York city?” asked Mr. Chandler, amid great laughter. “That was about the price of naturalization papers in New York in 1868."" “No. Those ran down to a dollar and a of whisky,” responded Mr. Frye. “What was the price of the consular cer- tifleates?” “Two dollars and a half each and no whis- * said Mr, Frye, while the Senate roared. f the Senator from Texas were to hear this statement,” said Mr. Chandler, glanc- ing around the chamber, but without seeing Mr. Mills, “I am half inclined to believe | that he would get up here and renounce his valorem theory." ‘The Senator is entirely mistaken,” an- swered Mr. Frye, not caring whether Mr. Mills was present or absent. “Nearly twen- ty years ago I served with the Senator from Texas on a subcommittee to revise the tar- iff, and he was then an ad valorem crank. a has never got over it, and he never will. Mr. Frye’s Little Story. Mr. Chandler was not certain. Mr. Mills was undergoing a good deal of wholesome discipline, and might be persuaded to aban- don his theory. This caused Mr. Frye to express his surprise that Mr. Chandler should expect @ theorist to give up his hy- pothesis. “I never knew but one theorist who would surrender a theory,” he went on. “That was Prof. Agassiz. I once told him that f had captured a nine-pound trout. He laughed at me. He said it was an utter im- possibility; that no such trout had ever lived. I assured him it was true. He said he had just written an article in a certain magazine, which I read, and the theory was magnificent. Shortly afterward I captured a trout weighing eight pounds, and a friend of mine caught another weighing seven pounds. We built a tank and sent them alive to Prof. Agassiz, in order to convince him, and sent a man with them. Prof. Agassiz sent mea letter. He sald: ‘My Dear Sir: The theory of a lifetime has suddenly been kicked to death by a stubborn fact.” He admitted it. I never yet knew a free trader theorist who would be convinced even by a stubborn fact Mr. Mills only reached the chamber in {ime to vote upon Mr. Allison’s renewal of THs acetic acld amendment, modified some- and so did not hear this discussion rinciples. The amendment was lost 27 to 33. Mr. Voorhees Answers Sharply. In the course of the discussion some un- pleasantries were developed on account of Mr. Voorhees’ sharp answers to some ques- tions from the republican side of the cham- ber. Mr. Lodge called attention to the fact that the answers received by the finance com- mittee to its million circulars had not yet been published, and that their publication ¥ ie and he inquired of the chairman cf the fii ce committee as to what the facts were. Mr. Voorhees explained that on account of the pressure of work on Mr. Durfee, one of the committee clerks, who had charge of the matter, the publication had been tem- porarily stopped; that there was no attempt at suppression, and that the work would be proceeded with as. rapidly as possible.

He added that he had no answer to make to such an inquiry, and that he did not yield to the Senator from Massachusetts. Mr. Chandler asked Mr. Voorhees to state whether the circulars that had been sent out made any ingQiry on the question of ad valorem or specific duties. “The inquiries,” Mr. Voorhees replied tartly, “are all printed, with the answers; and I commend them all to the prayerful attention of the Senator from New Hamp- shire. He will find out in that way what he wants to know.” “I will certainly pray over them when I get them,” Mr. Chandler said pleasantly, “but it is not_my custom to pray over un- known and unseen propositions. I thought I had made a courteous inquiry, and the Senator might have answered my question without addressing discourteous language to me. I will add that I have always re- | |spected, up to this time, the Senator from | Indiana.” | Mr. Hoar took exception to the tone of Mr. Voorhees’ reply to him. The question which he had put, he said, was a pertinent one, and ought to have received a proper answer. It was the business of the chair- man of the finance committee to be present | in the Senate chamber and to answer such questions. It was the first time in the par- Mamentary history of _ country that such a thing had happened. RAIN AND mcH ‘WINDS. Great Damage Caused at Indianapolis by a Stdrm. A severe wind and rain storm visited In- ianapolis and vicinity yesterday afternoon. Mary buildings were unroofed, and the los: will reach into the thousands. Shade trees and outbuildings in every part of tne city were blown down. The street car system was for a time demoralized, and the tele- phore and telegraph wires were in a useless condition. An infant child of 8. J. Huntsman of $51 South Meridian street was instantly killed while sleeping in its cradle, and a number of persons were more or less injured by falling walls and flying debri: |_ The roof of the Riley block, on West Washington street, was blown off and two persons injured. Adjoining the block on the east is the establisMment of Archdeacon & Co. A numter of giris are employed on the top floor of the building, and when the | roof of the Riley block was torn from its | fastenings it crashed into the building where the girls were employed. Dibbie | James was cut about the head and fac: and Amanda Miller was caught by the fall- | ing walls and injured internally. Maus’ brewery was damaged to the extent | of $3,000, and a number of other large es- tablishments were damaged. At Mount Vernon the steamer Eugene, be- | longing to the Henderson hominy mill, was overturned in the middie of the river.

A Majority of Only Fourteen*in the House of The Rosebery government triumphed over its opponents last night in the house of com- | mons, in spite of the desertion of the Pat nellites, when the budget was passed. The majority was small, only fourteen on a mo- tion to reject the bill, but there was loud cheering in the lobbi@ when the result was known. When the budget came up for discussion Mr. John J. Clancy, Parnellite member for the north division of Du¥fin county, on be- half of the Parnellites, declared that, in re- spect to the financial charges, Ireland had been shamefully treated. Owing to the of- ficial estimate, he added, Ireland's oe share of the imperial deficit should. £87,000, but under the budget more than that, he asserted, would be derived from the estate duties and income tax alone. Mr. Clancy declared that the Irish dis- tilling industry had steadily diminished dur- ing the past fifty years, owing to unfair taxation. He was authorized to declare Parnellites expressed it as their opinion that this plundering of Ireland ought to cease and they would give weight to this opinion by voting against the government. Mr. Balfour declared that the budget was opposed to the traditions of the iiberal party. Sir William Harcourt had borrowed his. proposals from many neo ee socialist and from the ition. Balfour said he found no fault with the chancellor's relieving the irfeome taxpayers, but it was unjust to select the brewers and distillers for attack merely ee they were supposed to make large Profits.
