THE EVENING SEAR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE any other measure. He had not been sent aere, he said. in conclusion, to represent Mr. ‘Chandier’s views, but to oppose them on most questions. Mr. Chandler deciared when Mr. Atlen sat down that the question of how the Ne- braska Senator voted was part of his busi- ness. Mr. Allen, he said, stated that there was no understanding between himself and the finance committee. “Yet,” said Mr. Chand- ler, “what has taken place on this floor to- day cannot be mistaken here or elsewher Fifteen minutes ago the Senator from N braska arose and said he did not know how he would vote on this bill. Now he moves an addition to the free list. He will get it, and I propese to make it my business to call the attention of the country to the fact that he is making himself substantially & democrat. Every vote he gives is aimed at a New England industry. If the Senator does not like that,” concluded Mr. Chandler, with a contemptuous wave of his hand. “he can make the most of it.” Mr. Allen reiterated his denial of the ex- fstence of any bargain between himself or other populists and the members of the finance committee whereby he or they had agreed to vote for this bill, and character- ized Mr. Chandler's insinuation as “low and untruthful, and one that no man actuated by high and lofty motives would make.” Allen's Amendment Carried. Mr. Allen's amendment was carried—28- Zl—a strict party vote, the populists voting im favor of the amendment. Mr. Allison (Iowa) called attention to the fact that under the amendment just adopted all fine cabinet woods, rosewood, mahogany, &c., would come in free, and he proposed an Amendment to exctude “cedar, lignum vitae, lancewood, ebony, box, grandilla, mahog- any, rosewood. satin wood and other cabinet woods in the form of dressed lumber from the operation of the amendment.” The sug- Este amendment was accepted by Mr. Vest and agreed to. Mr. Mitchell (Ore.) proposed an amend- ment to have the free list paragraphs 672- 654, relating to logs, wood and lumber, go imto effect January 1, 1895. The Free List Completed. The amendment was lost. Then paragraph 685, “wool,” promise” amendment to add ‘“slubbing, roving. ring and corded waste’ to the paragraph, was agreed to,but at the request of Mr. Sherman the final determination of the question of whether wool should go on the free list was postponed until the bill | the “com- should be reported to the Senate. The pro- viso making the paragraph go into effect August 2, 1894, wi ricken out. The con- sideration of the free list was completed at 1:30. Mr. Jones offered an amendment to am- plify section 7 relating to the free importa- tion in bond of articles of foreign produc- tion used in the construction of vessels in the United States for foreign account. It was not formally acted upon. Mr. Aldrich’s Critiet: Mr. Aldrich criticised section 9, which permitted manufacturers to import in boad any article which was to him a raw mate- rial and, after commingling it by manufac- ture with any product of the United State: to export the joint product free of duty. ‘This, Mr. Aldrich said, was an entirely new departure in customs administration. It lodged with the Secretary of the Treasury vast discretionary power. The object sought to be achieved might be good, but it was doubtful whether the safeguards thrown about this new system were sufficient. Mr. | Aldrich aisc thought the system proposed to | ‘be inaugurated in this paragraph of doubt- ful expediency. It would be hard, he thought, to manufhcture in bond without fraud. . The result of the inauguration of this sys- tem on a wholesale scale would be to trans- fer to the Atlantic seaboard all American manufacturing for export. Mr. Jores, in reply, cited similar pro- visions in the McKinley law, the operation of which, he said, had caused no difficulty. ‘At the request of Mr. Hoar there was in- serted in the section applying to prohibition of obscene and immoral objects the tickets advertisements of any lottery. Mr. Goer sought to bave cocoanuts restored to but without success. About Americam Tonnage. Mr. Frye offered amendments to sections 44, 15 ond 16. tion 14 provides for 10} per cent discriminating duty on goods im- | ported in vessels other than those owned in | the United States. Section 15 prohibits im- port, except under treaties, by vessels other than those of the United States or of the} country from which imported. Section 16 exempts vessels of rations which do not maintain similar regulations against the United States. Mr. Fr. amendment proposed to leave the provisions in force except in case of treaties to be hereafter made and for no- tice to be given of this to all the nations| of the earth of the intention to abrogate | these treaties, time being given for this notice to take effect. Mr. Frye reviewed the history of United States legislation intended to discriminate in favor of United States tonnage. He| complained that the effect of the provisions | fn these sections, which, in the present law, as well as the pending bill, had been nullified by reciprocal treaties. Mr. Lodge suggested that British marine imsurance companies discriminated in in- surance rates against ships of other than British vessels. Mr. Frye said that all he wanted was to discriminate against the vessels of every nation of the world in favor of our own and to give the nations a year’s notice. ‘These treaties, he said, had done us much harm. He asserted that the Nicaragua canal would today be built had it not been Yor the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. THE HOUSE. Speaker Crisp being still unable to pre- Bide over the House, Mr. Bailey (Tex.) call- @d that body to order today. Rev. Mr. Mil- burn offered the prayer.

The House then went into committee of the whole to consider the anti-option bill, after unanimously agreeing that all debate on the bill and penling amendments should be closed at adjournment tomorrow, when the previous question should be considered as ordered on the bill, the vote to be taken immediately after the morning hour on Friday This suggestion was the result of a com- Promise between Mr. Hatch and the oppo- Rents of the bill, it having been the inten- tion of the former to shut off debate and take a vote on the bill this evening, to which the latter strenuously objected as not allowing sufficient time for fair debate. Mr. Golizier (I) spoke in opposition to the bill, He said that while he had been charged with being affiliated with the Chi- ergo stock exchange, he denied the allega- tion, asserting that his constituents were am bitterly opposed to stock exchanges as Were the farmers He asse-ted that the fall in the price of agriculture! products was not due to specu- lation on the stock exchange, but to the same agency which was accountable for the price of every other commodity, the intro- duction of labor-saving machinery Mr. Walker (Mass.) was opposed to the feneral government doing that which, by apy construction, the Constitution authoriz- Mr. Aldrich Too Busy Watching the Tariff to Talk About Sugar Tr: The attention of Senator Aldrich was call- @4 today to the article published in one of | the New York papers charging him with favoring the sugar trust and working in the interests of that trust, and stating that! Mr. Searies and he were business associates, agd that a certain sum of money had been a@vanced from the trust toward a street railroad enterprise in which he, Aldrich, was interested. Mr. Aldrich was occupied | im the Senate and refused to be interrupted | to come out while certain features of the bill were under consideration. He sent word i@ response to a written inquiry that he could say nothing on the subject until he had had time to read the article.

MONEY PAID TO WARDMEN NEW YORK, June 20.—Counsel Goff promised to introduce more sensational tes- timony today before the Lexow committee, investigating the charges against the po- lice of blackmail. When asked of the na- ture of it he smiled and said: “That would spoil the telling. At 11 o'clock Chairman Lexow called the committee to order, and said that a state- ment in a morning paper that the door- keeper was placing fnside information in | the hands of police agents was untrue. “Is Justice Divver here, Mr. Goff?” asked | the chairman. | “No; I have not heard from him,” an- | swered Mr. Goff. “Well, I thought he might appear and Take a denial. We have established a! precedent and he can take the stand if he continued Senator Lexow. Judge Ransom, associate counsel for the Police department, arose and said that, while he was not authorized to speak for Justice Divver, he did not believe he would avail himself of the opportunity td take! the stand on his own behalf, because he had already made a strong denial through the press. ‘Then come an interesting young woman. She was dressed with taste, and had an air of refinement. Her name was Mrs. Ida | 1. Morton, and from April to August, 1802, | she was the housekeeper and accountant | for the notorious Lucy »McCarthy of West 40th street. The woran said that she was @ respectable married woman, and had an invalid husband and several children to support. She was forced by necessity to, take the postifon, but had no improper rela- | tions with the frequenters of the house. When the proprietress went to Richfield Springs she left the witness in charge.

She could not remember the wardman’ narre. Chas. S. Schloss was pounced on by Law- yer Goff and hauled to the witness stand, looking very unhappy. He had accompan- fed a woman witness down to court and counsel thought that he had told her to testify falsely. The witness said that the | Woman was “his girl,” and that he was “lable to marry her.” He denied that he | tad advised the woman how to testify.

She would not admit that the house which | | she had care of was run for immoral pur- poses. Mrs. Shaw, the proprietress, is away in Europe. Mr. Goff showed pretty clearly the character of the house. “Did you ever see that product of modern civilization, the wardman?” No, sir,” answered the witness. The question caused a laugh. The woman ad- mitted to having been arrested. “That Was a shame, to arrest you,” softly | said Mr. Goff. “It was,” said the woman, falling into the pitfall. | thundered Mr. Goff, “go right up| “The to police headquarters with ‘my assistant Jerome, and make a charge against Detective Cash.” | The witness looked reproachfully at coun- sel and meekly started to comply with the instruction.

Martin Dowling, proprietor of a saloon at zsth street and 6th avenue, followed, and testified to the bad character of Mrs. Strauss’ house. Counsel Goff sprung his promised sensa- tion just before recess. e called Harry Hill, the well-known sporting man, to the stand.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 20—C. P. Le- land, auditor of the Lake Shore railroad, died at 6 o'clock this morning, after an iil- ness of several weeks.

Warner entertained Vice Pres- | ident Stevenson last night at his handsome courtry residence in Kensington, Md., and invited to meet him many of the prominent farmers and politicians of Montgomery | county. Only a few sent their regrets, and consequetly nearly four hundred persons | enjoyed Mr. Warner’s cordial hospitality. | and were regretful when the time came for | their departure. The invitations were con- | fined to gentlemen of the county, as Mr. and Mrs. Warner desired to present as many leading citizens as possible to the | Vice President, and for lack of room they | were therefore compelled to invite only the ladies of Kensington. ‘The guests arrived at the house through the lawn, which was softly {luminated with long lines of Chinese lanterns, and were re- ceived on the piazza by Mr. and Mrs. War-| ner and introduced to Vice President Stev- enson, who stood near the entrance to the reception hall. When everybody had been made acquainted with every one else, the broad porches and cool apartments were taken possession of by many coteries of congenial spirits, who later on enjoyed a delightful collation.
