VEST BECOMES IRRITATED Attempts to Draw Senator Brice Out Not a Success. CONTINUING THE DEBATE After a long, bitter and at times personal debate, the Senate yesterday afternoon re- fused, by a vote of 4 to 46, to place iron ore upon the free list. The day was consumed entirely by the discussion of the first par- agraph of the iron schedule, and the vote on the free ore proposition, which was made by Senator Peffer, was the only one taken from 10:30 until 6 o'clock. After the report of The Star closed in the afternoon the proceedicgs were enlivened for a few min- utes by a spat between Senators Berry and Dolph. The former asked the latter, who was in the midst of a long speech, whether he did not think that the republicans would show more consideration for the welfare of the country if they should cease their long, tiresome speeches, to which nobody listens and which nobody reads, and get to a vote en the bill. Mr. Dolph treated the question with scorn, and said that when Mr. Berry addressed a respectful inquiry to him he was willing to answer it. There was a little further debate, Senator Gallinger coming forward to make Mr. Berry somewhat un- comfortable, and then the tide of the debate rolled on smoothly again. A littie later Mr. Peffer came in with his free iron idea, and then followed one of the most exciting colloguys of the whole dis- cussion, A Lively Incident. Mr. Hale followed Mr. Peffer with a sharp speech, in which ‘he drew a picture of the deep sense of mortification that existed on the democratic* side. The democrats real- ized, he said, that they had been “held up” by some of their black-leg associates. The small minority had waylaid them; had placed pistols to their heads; had taken their purses and their watches, and were now reaching for any other valuables they might have copcealed about their persons, They had been robbed of their political prin- ciples by their political friends. No wonder they felt unhappy. Mr. Vest replied, with some manifestation of temper, to Mr. Hale. To listen to the story of democratic dissension which was poured daily from the lips of Senators on the other side, he said, one would imagine there never had been a ripple of disagree- ment on the other side. He recalled the midnight conference, at which the tariff bill of 1883 had been finally agreed upon and put through by one majority. He described how, after the adjournment of Congress, Messrs. Sherman and Morrill had rushed into print and had charged improper mo- tives and sectionalism. Continuing, Mr. Vest said he was at a loss to account for the bitter and malignant speech just d~ livered by Mr. Hale, save on the theory that he had eaten something in the lunch room that had disagreed with him. “I haven't swallowed these amendments,” interrupted Mr. Hale, amid laughter. .”’ retorted Mr. Vest, sarcastically, ou haven't; but if they contemplated additional taxes on fish, butter, eggs or stone you would have gulped them down with the avidity of a black bass, The un- adulterated snake juice of that speech,” he said, in conclusion, “could not have re- sulted from the customary New England dics of codfish and baked beans. Hale replied pleasantly that he had frequently noticed when Mr. Vest was hard pressed he always escaped by recourse to a personal taunt. His remarks had not been leveled particularly at Mr. Vest. They were applicable generally to the other side, and he warned Mr. Vest that in the future he would not fail to call the attention of the country to provisions which reoresented an abandonment by the other side of every- thing they had stood for during their politi- cal lives. Worrying Mr. Brice. Mr. Brice, during the course of the de- bate that followed, for a brief space be- came the target for his political antagon- ists. Mr. Brice denied that there was any admission on his side that the proposed duty of 40 cents on iron ore was a protec- tion duty. As he understood it, he said, it was purely a revenue duty. In 1892 it paid a duty of $750,000. Seventy-five cents Was equivalent to 33 per cent ad valorem. If the duty was reduced one-half, he be- lieved that it would then be a revenue duty. Forty cents was a revenue duty equivalent to 18 per cent ad valorem, and was strictly in line with the democratic platform. Mr. Hale congratulated the Senator on at last obtaining a statement of the theory upon which a duty had been fixed. Mr. Brice had found that about 18 or 20 per cent was the revenue point. So far so good. He wanted to know of the Ohio Senator, who was high up in the counsels of his party, under what process of reason- ing the duty on lumber, which was 22 per cent (the revenue point, according to Mr. Brice), had been entirely removed. He might’ extend his inquiry to wool. Mr. Brice refused to take up the gauntlet thrown down to him by Mr. Hale. He would discuss the lumber, he said, laconic- ally, when lumber was reached in the bill. If Mr. Brice was now ready to come out in what Mr. Mills had called the open day- light, Mr. Aldrich said he would like to go further into the question of the revenue rate. As Mr. Brice still declined to reply, Mr. Aldrich said his side was ready to take the vote on Mr. Peffer's amendment to transfer iron ore to the free list. Detailed Vote. The vote stocd thus: Yeas--Allen, Hill, Kyle and Peffer.

After this Mr. Platt moved an amendment changing the duty from 40 to 60 cents per ton, and occupied the floor until adjourn- ment. —_—___+e+______ The Golden Cross, Potomac Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, held an interesting meet- ing last evening, Noble Commander Richard Sweeney presiding. Frank B. Holden was selected as the choice of the commandery for deputy grand commander. Speeches under the good of the order were made by F. B. Holden, 8. N. Crouch, F. 8. Page, R. Burnside, Geo. E. W. Slater, Richard Sweeney and others and by L. R. Trembly of National Commandery. At the last meeting of the Mount Ver- non Commandery Past Noble Commander J. H. A. Fowler presided. Two appli- cations for membership were presented. and the degrees were conferred on three candidates. C. G. Harrison was selected as the choice of the commandery for deputy grand commander. Past Grand Comman- der George Redway made some interesting remarks on the monogram of the order. Remarks were aiso made by Halvor Nelson, M. L. Venable and others. The committee on the good of the order were instructed to make arrangements for an open meeting. L. R. Trembly of National Commandery an- nounced that the National would celebrate its sixth anniversary at its meeting on Monday next, and also confer the degrees on ten candidates, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. ption of the Theological Semi- mary Debate. In the debate on theological seminary control yesterday at Saratoga by the gen- eral assembly, Dr. Craig defined the theory of the Presbyterian Church to be that the various congregations constitute one church and these churches collectively gathered into one body are regulated by one great unity. The smaller part is governed by the larger part, and the larger part is governed by the whole. This is managed by a series of tribunals “which culminate in the general assembly. On this princi- ple he held that the general assembly represented the church. Under this system he had no fear of intrugting the control of the theological instruction of the church to the hands of the general assembly. Who ever thought, he said, that it was an act of tyranny for this great court, which presents the unity of the church, to go down and exercise its supervision over the agencies it uses in the educational and benevolent work of the church? It has the right now to visit any of its boards, and to attend to them, and no one disputes that right. He did not think the assembly could be stopped in the exercise of the same right in the case of theological seminaries. But the strange anomaly has occurred that when the court advances with its rightful visitorial power it is stopped at the pre- cinets of every theological seminary in the country. He referred to the protest of Lane Seminary as an instance. Rev. B. Galloway of Jersey City opposed the majority report. He held that the moral right on the question forbids the changing of the conditions’ by the general assembly, or the seminaries under which the latter send their endowments. He warned the assembly that the adoption of the report would bring untold troubles into the church. Dr. Paul F. Sutphen of Newark proposed a substitute for the majority report, that the whole subject be laid on the table until the next assembly. Dr. Young moved to table this substitute, and the motion was carried by a vote of 10 to 1. Dr. John Fox of Brooklyn offered a sub- stitute, to the effect that the committee be continued one year, with instructions to communicate the resolutions to the several seminaries for further consideration and conference, the seminaries to make criti cisms and suggestions in regard to the resolutions. The motion to table this substitute was carried, and Dr. Fox took the floor to op- Pose the report. The hour of recess having arrived, the seminary control report’ was made the order of the day for today at 2:30 o'clock, and it was ordered that the vote should be taken at 3:30 o'clock p. m. A New Field of Inquiry. Dr. George W. F. Birch of New York opened a new field of heresy inquiry at the afternoon session, by introducing the following resolution: Whereas, it is currently reported that a diligent effort is being made to introduce what is known as the “Bible study lesson system” as a substitute for the “Westmin- ster system” in the Sabbath school instruc- tion of our churches: Therefore, Resolved, That the matter be referred to the standing committee on publication and Sabbath school work. This solution is aimed at what is known as the Blakelee system of Sunday school instruction. It was started to re- place the old-fashioned method, which had’! come to be regarded as out of date in the progressive churches. Many Presbyterian pastors have introduced the new system in- to their Sunday schools in the place of the Westminster system, which Dr. Birch regards as much better. The resolution passed without dissent. Following Dr. Birch’s resolution the rep- resentatives of the commissioners appointed to review the work of the boards of freed- men and of education reported. Among the overtures reported by the committee on bills and overtures was one which recalled the Breckinridge case. It comes from New Albany, Ind., and calls upon the assembly to give expression to an opinion on personal purity in members of Congress. By vote the assembly referred the overture back to the committee on bills and overtures for consideration. The chairman of this committee, Willis G. Craig, and the moderator, Mutchmore, are both Kentuckians. The overture ‘will come up again with recommendations from Dr. oes committee, some time during the week. Dr. Briggs is expected to arrive today, in order to be present at the sessions which are to be given up to the Smith trial. Mra’ Briggs arrived yesterday, and joined the’ family of Prof. Smith at the Worden. ———_+ e+ —___ ARGUELLO’S ESCAPE. Minister Baker's Report of the Situa- tion in Nicaragua, Minister Baker in his report to the State Department of the situation in Nicaragua, referred to in yesterday's Star, confirms Capt. Watson's report of the escape of Arguello, the acting governor of Rama, and states that despite the positive assurances of the Nicaraguan commissioner, Lacayo, that Arguello was in jail at Bluefields, and would be brought to trial, it was shown the accused was at liberty during most of the day of May 9, and finally disappeared that evening. Mr. Baker throws a new light upon the movements of Clarence, the Mosquito chief. It has been stated that Clarence had been restored to power as the governing chief over Bluefields and the Mosquito country by Capt. Clark, the commander of the Brit- ish warship Magicienne. Mr. Baker's dis- patch contradicts this report, for he sa: that while Clarence returned to Bluefields on the 12th instant, on the British vessel, “he placed himself under Commissioner La- cayo’s guarantee of personal safety.” It does not appear that Clarence had been re- instated in his political position, either by British or any other influence, up to the 15th instant, the date of the minister's dis- patch. Mr.’ Baker concluded by stating that the Nicaraguan soldiery had quit Blue- fields port, going to the interlor, and a de- tachment remaining at the Bluff. ‘The Nicaraguan commissioner, Lacayo, remained in control of affairs at’ Bluefields when Mr. Baker left the town. This news is in the main satisfactory to the officials here, but there are some events that will require further negotiation. If our gov- ernment is satisfied that_Arguello escaped owing to the laxity of Commissioner La- cayo, it is likely that, on the demand of Mr. Baker, that worthy will follow the de- posed governor of a, Torres, to Man- agua, to explain, as the deposed governor must, how he allowed to escape a man that the Nicaraguan government pledged itself to bring to trial. It is probable an ener- getic remonstrance by Capt. Watson will induce Lacayo to bestir himself to recap- 2 ello. tufhe fact that Clarence 1s in Bluefields, under personal guarantee from Lacayo,may be significant as indicating the workings of British influence upon the Nicaraguan government, and perhaps a disposition ‘on the part of the former to insist upon the restoration of the Mosquito regime, but this can be confirmed only by subsequent events. es ————— New Catholic Bishops. ‘The pope at the secret consistory at Rome yesterday preconized twenty-four bishops and announced a number of other episcopal nominations, among them the appointment he Rev. Paul Stanislaus La Roque as tishop of the see of Sherbrooke, Quebec. He also announced the appointment of Rev. Joseph Rademacher to the see of Fort Wayne, Rev. A. J. Glorieaux, D. D., to Ttoise City, Idaho; Rev. E. J. Dunne, D. D., to Dallas, Tex.; Rev. Michael Tierney to Hartford, Conn.; Rev. Patrick J. Donahue to Wheeling, W. Va., and Rev. T. M. A. Burke to Albany, N. Y.

FIGURES MOST INTERESTING! Comparisons With Other Cities Ex- , Clusively Devoted to Business. A WONDERFUL SHOWING It was once the custom to refer to Wash- ington as manufacturing nothing more than | good bricks and bad laws. Just how true | this was of the days when it was in vogue is a question, but surprising as the fact may be to the country at large, and, in- deed, to many Washingtonians, it has now been demonstrated that Washington has in- | creased in importance as a manufacturing | city and has assumed a rank high in com-| parison with other municipalities of its own | size. The product of bricks may have de-| creased somewhat, and, it is to be hoped, the output of bad laws has been reduced to @ minimum. It is certain, however, that other commodities are now being placed upon the market from local establishmeuts at a most gratifying rate. Bulletins have been issued during the past | winter giving tabulated returns of statistics _ accumulated in the eleventh census, and | among the most interesting of these publi- | cations are those relating to manufactures. Two, particularly, are of interest to local | readers; one relating to the District itself | and one showing the state of manufactur- ing in the 165 cities having a population of 20,000 and over in 180. By this last bulle- | tin it is shown that Washington ranks | number 15 among the 165 cities in the num- | ber of industrial establishments, 23 in capi-| tal invested, 25 in the number of employes, | 19 in wages paid and 27 in value of prod-| ucts. This would indicate at first scrutiny | that in the amount of capital invested, the | number of employes and the value of prod- | ucts the District loses ground on the basis of the number of its establishments, show- ing the lack, perhaps, of large plants put-| ting forth great products. But the item of | Wages paid proves that the rate of wages | in the District is high as compared with other cities. But perhaps the most gratifying compari- son of all to be drawn from this bulletin is in the item of taxes and insurance paid by the industrial establishments reported in the bulletin. Standing fifteenth in the number of establishments, the District stands forty-fifth in the amount of taxes and seventy-eighth in the amount of insur- ance. disproportion between the rank of District in these three items is demon- strative of two important facts: First, that manufacturing establishments are here subject to a much lower rate of taxa- tion than in the average city elsewhere, and second, that the insurance rates, and a the insurance risks, are much wer. On the basis of the capital invested, the reported taxation of Washington, roughly calculated, is at the rate of .0U8; in New York it is .019; in Newark, a large manu- facturing center, but a smaller city, of course, than New York, itis .022. As to insurance, on the same the calcula- tion gives Washington .W016, Newark .0041 end New York .0044. The rank of the cities standing above Washington in the number of establish- ments is as follows: New York, Philadel- phia, Brooklyn, Chicago, Boston, Cincin- nati, St. Louis, Baltimore, San Francisco, Buffalo, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Newark, Cleveland, Washington. The same rank in capital invested is. New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Brook. lyn, St. Louis, Boston, Pittsburg, Cincin- rati, Baltimore, San Francisco, Buffalo, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Newark, Providence, Rochester, Detroit, Minneapolis, Lowell, Fall River, Louisville, Lawrence and Wash- ington. In the number of employes the cities stand: New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Brooklyn, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Buffalo, Cleveland, San Francisco, Newark, Milwaukee, Provi- dence, Detroit, Rochester, Lowell, Minneap- olis, Louisville, New Orleans, Troy, Pater- son, Fall River, Washington. In the total wages paid, the rank ts: New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Brook- lyn, Boston, St. Louts, Cincinnati, Balti- more, Pittsburg, San Francisco, Cleveland, Newark, Buffalo, Providence, Milwaukee, Detroit, Rochester, Minneapolis and Wash- ington. The value of the products give the cities the following standing: New York, Chi- cago, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, St. Louis, Boston, Cincinnati, Baltimore, San Fran-/ cisco, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo, Mil- waukee, Newark, Minneapolis, Providence, Detroit, Rochester, Peoria, Louisville, New Orleans, Lynn, Lowell, Omaha, Paterson, Worcester and Washington. How Business Jamped. So much for the comparison between Washington and the ‘recognized manufac- turing centers. The increase in the District during the decade is shown in special bul- letin 158, The number of establishments went from 970 in 1880 to 2,013 in 189, a percentage of increase of 107.53. The cap- tal invested went from $5,527,526 to $22,- 805,961, the increase being 312.59 per cent. The number of hands employed increased from 7,146 to 21,855, an increase of 205.84 per cent; of these about 4,000 only are in government employ, the remainder being engaged in purely local industries. That the rate of wages increased with the gen- eral increase of business is shown by the fact that the wages paid advanced from $3,924,612 in 1880 to $13,891,005 in 1890, an increase of 253.95 per cent. The cost of ma- terials went from $5,365,400 to $15,774,733, an increase of 194.01 per cent. The value at the factory of the goods manufactured went from $11,882,316 to $36,151,167, the in- crease being at the rate of 204.24 per cent. For the sake of those Washingtonians who may be surprised at this gratifying ex- hibit, it may be well to state just what these industries quoted in the last bulletin are. Giving in the order of the number of establishments in each trade, the local in- dustries rank as follows: Boots and shoes tering, 3 painting perl 4 156; women’s clothing (dressmaking), 143; blacksmithing, 135; men’s clothing (custom work and repairing), 116; bakeries, 88; plumbing and gas fitting, 86; druggists’ preparations (not including prescriptions), 85; tinware, 72; tobacco, 70; dentistry (me- chanical), 60; confectionery, 57; printing and publishing (including the government printing office), 51, ete. Money Invested and People Employed ‘The local industries in the order of the capital invested rank thus: Printing, in- cluding the government printing office, $1,731,504; engraving, including plate print- ing, embracing the bureau of printing and engraving, $1,546,425; carpentering, $1,212,- 239; breweries, $1,174,191; painting and pa- per-hanging, + $1,108,050; men’s clothing, $995,601; flour, $810,517; brick and tile, $778,- 931; bakeries, $765,219; lumber, $740,000; plumbing, etc., $720,685; periodical printing, including newspapers, $697,702; tinware, $673,456; paving and paving materials, $545,- 487; druggists’ preparations, $537,625; mar- ble and stone work, $532,799; foundry pro- ducts, $519,000; and confectionery, $501,354, ete.

All other industries, not enumerat aggregate fifty-one in number,with a capil of $12,877,354. Ups and Downs. Some of the local industries show wonder- ful advances from 1880 to 18%. Among these are the following: Blacksmithing, from 87 establishments in 188) to 135 ip 1890; boots and shoes, from 73 to 232; carpentering, from 58 to 171; men’s cloth- ing, from 35 to 116; mechanical dentistry, from 6 to 6); painting and paper hanging, from 37 to 156; plumbing and gas fitting, from 31 to printing and publishing, from 28 to 64. There were a few industries that showed a decline in the decade. These were: Brick and tile, from 16 to 13; car- riages and wagons, from 25 to 21; flouring and grist mill products, 9 to 6; hairwork, 12 to 11; wrought iron railing, from 5 to 3; jewelry, from 11 to 9; lime and cement, from 5 to 3; malt liquors, from 10 to 5; marble and stone work, from 25 to 19, and umbrellas and canes, from 5 to 4. All the others, however, including those enumerated spectally, which show the greatest advances, have increased in num- ber. The bulletin states: “It is-probable that the great increase shown in the re- ports for those industries coming under the head of hand trades is largely due to the fact that no previous census of the United States has so fully obtained the full production of hand trades, such as those of the mason, carpenter, blacksmith, cooper, painter, plumber, and similar trades ating machinery to a limited extent. vious census inquiries have entirely omitted the dressmakers’ and milliners’ industries, for which a product valued at nearly « million of dollars is now reported for the District of Columbia. “The building trades obtain peculiar im- portance in the District of Columbia. Con- sidering the reports for the following-name@ building trades as a erpup, viz, carpenter- ing, marbie and stone work, masonry, brick and stone; painting and paper plastering and stucco work, plumbing 4 gas fitting, and roofing and roofing ma- as, the value of the product is found te be $10,613,2 ———— THEY REFUSED TO STRIKE, Miners Stood by Their Employers is Face of Entreaties. ‘The men of the Consolidation Coal Com- pany’s three mines in the Frostburg, M4, region, Eckhart, Hoffman and Allegany, stood by their employers yesterday morn- ing in the face of the great pressure that is | being brought to bear upon them by the strikers to suspend. Hoffman mine had not as many miners at work as at the begin- ning of last week, but the number was larger than on Saturday. Eckhart had a considerable addition to Saturda! number, A heavy rain yesterday morning was un- favorable to the strikers to remain on out- post duty. Only thirty of the strikers were along the road to Eckhart, and none inter- fered with the Hoffman miners. Large numbers of miners are on hand from the western end of the region. The Consolidation Coal Company has haa injunctions issued against Wilson, the or- ganizer, and about eighty of the strikers. Union mine had a small force working yesterday. Eighteen sticks of dynamite were stolen from the Savage Mountain fire-clay mine, near Frostburg. The telegraph line between Frostburg and Carlos mine has been cut twice. Letters, written in red ink and illus- trated with skulls and crossbones, were sent to miners yesterday morning. It is reported that a large number of strikers on their way to Frostburg from thy lower end of the region yesterday morni disagreed and returned home.
