Joseph Slattery of the tug Sayre, which rescued thirty-four of the Niccl’s Dassengers, when asked what he thought caused the Nicol to capsize, said: “The people were all on one side and the Weather was too heavy for the boat. She not trimmed well.” pt. Robert Rogers, a licensed pilot, who was on hand as an expert, said he @xamined the boat six months ago, and she was then in a seaworthy condition. He also caw her on Sunday morning at the time she left the wharf. She did not ®ppear to him to be overloaded. Capt.

Must Have Fenders. Senator Gallinger today introduced In the Senate a bill to require the street railway compenies of Washington to equip their * roads with fenders. Mr. Gallinger said that this is a matter of some urgency, and he trusted the District committee and the Sen- ate would act on ft speedily. The bill directs the District Commissioners to require each street railway company or corporation which may be now, or hereafter operated by cable or electric power to prepare its tracks and roadbed in such manner as may be necessary to iacilitate the use of safety fenders upon the cars of such companies, and to equip their cars with the best ob- tuinable fenders for the protection and preservation of life and limb. The second Section provides a penalty for non-com- pilance. Any company neglecting or refusing to so alter its equipment six months after hav- ing been directed so to do by the Commis- sioners, shall pay a fine of one dollar a day for each car operated to which a fender should have been attached. The letter of the District Commissioners to Senator Harris on this subject, which was printed in full in The Star at the time it was written, was submitted to the Senate and ordered to be printed.

No trouble et come of it. Unit States Marshal Hawkins started to Terre Haute at 10 o'clock to release the . and E. 1. mail train being held there by the strikers. ST. LOUIS. President Deb@ Orders a Tie-Up on the Wabash. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 2.—President Debs has issued an order for a strike on the Wa- bash system, which will completely tie up that road. " All the A. R. U. men on the Wabash sys- tem were notified to quit work. They were all expected to be out shortly after mid- night. The order includes conductors, fire- men, switchmen and all other classes of em- ployes. The leaders assert that their griev- ance against the Wabash is an old one. Several months ago the company forced a general reduction of wages, amounting to abcut 10 per ec The men accepted the cut gracefully at the time, but since t fnauguration of the present strike they came to the conclusion that this was a good time to have their old wages restored. At East St. Louts the brakemen employed on all the roads entering that city have made known their determination to strike. The car builders and inspectors refused to go cut. It is reported that all the men on the St. Louis division of the Mobile and Ohio road have been ordered to go out. ‘Strikers met last night and appointed a committee of five to meet a similar com- mittee of street railway men to discuss the advisability of having the employes of the city lines join the ranks of the strikers. The outbound passenger trains got away without appreciable delay today, being made up by yardmasters, office men, etc., of the Terminal Railway Association. Freight traffic, however, experienced no change, the strikers having thoroughly stopped the handling of ali such trains and cars. The men out here continue in a peaceful mood, with no indications of any disturbance in any direction, and no de- velopments of importance are expected un- til the time given by the employing rail- rcads for their men to return to work ex- pires. y An Incorrect Report. Later.—The statement that the Wabash had been ordered tied up generally proves incorrect. Beyond the trouble at Decatur, Ill, the entire system was in good order to- day, with all men at their posts. The de- mands formulated by the Decatur strikers, and to which the road declined to aczede, are that the wage scule and rules in effect befor> the luction made during last year’s depression, both as regards employes and officials, be restored, but with the understanding that ‘even ‘this settlement could not be made until the Pullman con- test is ended. COLUMBLS, OHIO. COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 2—The Pullman car, Chicago to Columbus today, via Cl cago and Erie, and Hocking Valley roads, was left at Marton. The Hocking Valley crew were willing to bring the car from Marion, but it was side-tracked in the rear of some freight cars and the crew were not willing to shift freight cars to get at the Pullman. The sheriff was called upon for protection, and the car wiil be brought here on the next train. About half the car repairers who struck Friday on the Hocking Valley returned to work today. OGDEN, UTAH. OGDEN, Utah, July 2—The Union Pacific officials attempted to start a train east last night, but the crew deserted after the train was made up. All Union Pacific em- ployes here quit work. Utah and northern trains are standing on the tracks without train crews. The men held a meeting last night and resolved to stzy out indefinitely. Every office and shop door of the Southern Pacific ts closed. g The Union Pacific train arrived this morn- ing at 12:35 from the east without Pullman. Orders were given by the United States marshal to assemble all deputies at the marshal's office at 5:30 this morning, pre- sumably to protect all trains. EVANSTON, WYO. EVANSTON, Wyo., July 2.—The A. R. U. held a meeting last night and resolved to stand firm. The order of Judge Riner was received, requiring all employes to decide by 7 o'clock this morning if they will re- main in the service of the company or be aischarged. The order has been signed by a few engineers and conductors, but by no A. R. U men. There are eleven engineers end nine conductors at Evanston who are not members of the A. R. U. They all signed, well as the dispatchers, opera- tors and firemen. There is much excite- ment at the show of firmness on the part of the union men. Later.—The strike is broken here. About 100 men have signed to go to work on cail, including leaders of the A. U. The shopmen stood out stiffly till today, when an agreement was made. TOLEDO, OHIO. TOLEDO, Ohio, July 2—Mark Wild,chair- man of the adjustment of the American Railway Union for the Hocking Valley sys- tem, has ordered out on a strike a!l the operators in the emplov of the road. This will seriously affect tne passenger traffic, as it will be impossible to run trains with- out great danger, if the telegraph operators are not at work. : BATTLE CREEK, MICH. BATTLE CREEK, Mich., July 2.—The strikers on the Grand ik are now mas- ters of the situation. Not a wheel has moved past this city since midnight. ‘Through passenger trains are now stand- ing on the track. Two mails are here. The men are determined to stay out until the Pullman difficulties are settled. MINNEAPOLIS. MINNEAPOLIS,Minn., June 2.—The sym- Pathetic strike has closed down the Mil- waukee car shops in this city, throwing a large number of men gut of employment. SAN FRANCISCO, SAN FRANCISCO, July 2—The Southern Pacific officials recognize two great strat- egic points in the railroad crisis in Califor- nia. One is Sacramento, the other Los Angeles, the keys, respectively, to the northern and southern situations. Each point commands large territory, and both are of great importance in controlling the main lines out of California. While the strikers are apparently powerful at scores of points along the lines the railroad of- ficials assert their belief that if the block- ade 1s broken at Sacramento and Los An- geles the workmen will succumb. Sacra- mento has been selected as the first point to be cleared and General Superintendent Fillmore has gone there to direct the cam- paign. He says that no concession will be made to the strikers, and that he will open the road at Sacramento if the task requires a month for its accomplishment. HANNIBAL, MO. HANNIBAL, M July 2—The railroad strike has seriously affected the Hannibal and Decatur branch of the Wabash road. All freight trains have been abandoned and the passenger trains are very late. FORT SCOTT, KA) FORT SCOTT, Kan, July 2.—The Mis- souri Pacific shops were closed down today om account of the strike. The order was not posted until the hour of going to work, and was a surprise to all of the men. cINCE CINCINNATI, Ohto, July 2—The with- drawal of the engineers and firemen of the Cincinratl Southern toad has not, so far, vaused any faflure to run trains on that road. General Manager Carroll already h: more applications for positions than needs, and all trains have been moved to- Jay, as usual. Every engine is guarded by United States deputy marshals, armed with Winchesters. Superintendent Waldo of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton says he will protect his loyal engineers and firemen with armed guards if necessary. Calls have been made for a parade of strikers tonight. The strikers threatened new switchmen at Milldale, Ky., the in- tersection of the Kentucky Central and Louisville and Nashville, so that F. W. Phelan has gone to that place to prevent trouble. Fifteen deputy marshais have also been sent. Great difficulty is experienced in getting citizens to serve as deputies, as the boycott extends to butchers, grocers and af opposing the strikers. All the trains passing through Ludlow, Ky., are heavily guarded. Owing to the parade, there are fears of trouble tonight on both sides of the river. Representatives of the Cincinnati South- ern engineers notified the general superin- tendents of railroads at their noon meeting that they had given notice to striking en- gineers that their action was filegal, and that they must return to work or be dig- missed by the brotherhood. All the roads reported a steady growth of business and movement of freighi. DENVER, COL. Departare of Regulars to Suppress Rioting at Trinidad. DENVER, Col., July of the seventh regiment U. S. A., station- ed at Fort Logan, left at 3:30 a.m. today on a special train for Trinidad, where over 100 deputy marshals were disarmed yester- day by a mob. The troops ure under com- mand of Co!. Ward and Lieut. Baker. The strikers have cut the Western Union wires near Cuchas, and no news has been received from Trinidad since 11 o'clock last night. The federal troops sent from ‘Fort Logan breakfasted at Pueblo, ahd left there at 9:30. They should arrive at Trinidad at noon. The preparation to move was in accord- ance with a request from United States Marshal Israel, who entered upon his office yesterday morning. His predecessor sent fifty-two deputies Saturday to Trinidad, a common point on the Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf, and the Atchison, Topeka ani Santa Fe, both of which are operated by receivers. The deputies were surrounded by 2,300 railway men and coal miners at 8 o'clock yester- day, overpowered, their arms confiscated, and they were held as hostages against any farther attempt by the receivers to operate these ds. The deputy marshals telegraphed that re- sistance would have been suicidal and sar- render was the only alternative. On this representation the call for troops was sent to Denver. . Superintendent Deuel of the Union Pacific Toad says: ‘The extent of the strike indi- cates that the country has a serious propo- sition on its hands, as serious as anything that has visited the country since the war. If it don’t lead to war it will be a Close call.” TRINIDAD, Col., July 2.—There has been no disturbance since the disarming of the eputies yesterday, which was accom- plished without much violence. The federal troops are expected to arrive at 11 o'clock. The strikers will offer no resistance to the soldiers, and the Santa Fe and Gulf roads will have no further trouble in raising. the blockade that now exists here if they find men to handle the Pullmans. NEW YORK. NEW YORK, July 2—The only sign of the Pullman strike in this city today was the wholesale hiring of men to go west in strikers’ places. Many employment agencies were doing a. large busiress in this line. All trains are arriv- ing and departing as usual. In Jetxey City everything is quiet and running smoothly. At the Pullman headquarters the manager says that nothing has occurred to indicate any trouble. The station master of the Pennsylvania road also says the limited trains left this morning on time, and that} nothing has been heard of intended trouble. LATE STRIKE NEWS. Five companies Sovereign Says He is Will Out the Knights, CHICAGO, July 2.—President Debs of the Railway Union today received the follow- ing telegram from Grand Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor: “Have I left anything undone?

July 2—Th newspaper men of this country who arc here to attend the tenth annual convention | of the National Editorial Association, which convened here today, have taken Asbury Park by storm. It was exactly 10 o'clock this morning vhen President Walter Wiiliamis called the onvention to order.

President Williams then anneunced his standing committee, after which adjournment was taken until this afternoon. | worked el FENCIBLES IN CAMP! Washington Militiamen in Quarters at Little Rock. A DRILL THAT WON LOUD CHEERS The Emmet Guard Expected This Afternoon. ae GOSSIP OF THE TENTS cea. er Spectal Dispatch From a Staff Correspondent. CAMP GROUNDS, LITTLE ROCK, Ark., July 2.—The great interstate drill and en- campment practically began yesterday af- ternoon with the arrival of the champion National Fencibles. Although the day was @ scorcher, the sun’s rays descending with dissolving intensity, the city of roses never presented a more attractive appearance. Old Glory waved a welcome from every structure in the town, and every inhabi- tant and visitor was astir. The Fencibles reached Memphis at an early hour in the morning, and were served with breakfast. A delay of several hours then occurred, ow- ing to a necessary wait for the Louisiana Grays. At precisely 4:30 o'clock a special train conveying the Governor’s Guard of Memphis, the Louisiana Grays and the Fencibles pull- ed into North Little Rock, where a citizens’ committee and a committee from the Mc- Carthy Light’ Guards greeted the new- comers, They were transfered to another Special train and fitteen minutes later land- ed within 500 yards of the camp grounds. Knapsacks and coats were discarded, guns laid aside, and the fifty-six hungry soldiers immediately did justice to a good meal which had been prepared at the mess hall. At the dinner Capt. Domer was overcome by che intense heat, which caused consid- erable consternation for @ time among the boys. After dinner a busy scene was presented by half a hundred Fencibles, in decidedly andress uniform, sorting baggage, moving cots and mattresses and putting the camp in proper shape generally. A more hot, tired and dirty set than the fisually im- maculate National Fencibles would have been hard to discover, for the journey from — proved frightfully tedious and lusty. In the midst of their occupation Capt. Domer appeared again, having entirely re- covered from his illness. He directed Sergt. Rice to form the company, which was done. At this point a heavy wind and rain storm put itself very much in evidence, the first of its kind seen in the vicinity of Little Rock for over seven weeks. Notwithstand- ing the threatening sspect of the weather, the Fencibles, in white sweaters and with- out coats, caps or belts, marched toward the drill field, which was surrounded by scores of citizens, soldiers and ladies, the latter being ensconced in the grand stand. Cheered to the Echo. As the Washington boys were discerned appreaching through the dust they were greeted with applause, and, after executing a few maneuvers, were cheered to the echo. Considering the fact that the company had just completed a forty-hour railroad jour- ney the drill was a marvelous exhibition. Half the time the drillers were hidden from view because of the dust, the above excel- lent doings have caused Fencible stock to take a big jump upward. The rain ‘soon ceased, but it left the at- Mosphere 20 degrees cooler, which was a most welcome change. The members of the company devoted the balance of the even- ing to sight-seeing. Capt. Domer called on the Fencibles’ sponsor, Miss Whittemore, and her maids of honer. Much regret ts apparent in the company because of the absence of Lieut. Mortimer, who was detained in Washington by sick- ness and telegraphed Capt. Domer that he will be unable to join the team. This will seriously handicap the Fencibles in the drill. Sergt. Tomlinson is to act as second lieutenant, Corp. J. P. Cromwell as left guide, and a change in the membership 6f the last set of fours must be made. Capt. Domer had the boys on the field at 7 o'clock this morning, and the above change in the makeup’ of the company satisfactorily, applause greeting each movement executed. In removing the ‘busgage from one car to another at At- ,Janta the handsome silk company flag went Sstray, and that incident has given Lieut. ‘Mosher nervous prostration. It will prob- ably show up in time for the street parade on Tuesday, however. The Emmet Guard. A most excellent reputation has preceded the Emmet Guard. Capt. Walsh's command is considered a dark horse, and will not sur- prise many enthusiasts should it return to Washington with the cup. The lads are due at 2:05 o'clock this afternoon, and they will meet with a most cordial reception. It was | the intention of the Fenctbles to escort their | rivals into camp, but at the last moment | Capt. Domer found that such courtesy could not be extended, owing to insufficient rail- road facilities. A number of the captains of state companies entered in the maiden rill stated to The Star's correspondent that is intend to protest against the entry of | the Emmets in that contest. No doubt ex- ists, however, that Capt. Walsh and his followers will win the first prize of $50 in that class on Friday morning next. The chief attraction today will be the presenta- tion of sponsors, maids of honor and cha- erones to their respective companies at 8 o'clock. The Fencibles have denoted the company street as “Domer avenue.” The |}cvmp has been christened “Camp Van Et- | ten,” in honor of the president of the drill association. Like Inauguration Week in Wash- ington. The local situation may well be likened to a presidential inauguration period in Washington, for already it is known that there will be more visitors in the capital city of Arkansas than the hotels and board- ing houses can accommodate. A prominent feature of the drill, and in fact the most prominent at present, are the sponsors. The pretty daughters of the regiment are very, very nervous. They have already donned their company’s colors, and tiny streamers of bright colored ribbon flutter gaily in the breege, as the pink roses of the owner's hat meet the yellow roses of her neighbor's, while they talk things ov They are acquiring quite a military style. They say “our boys” or “my men” in a way that would make the men’s hearts jump could they hear it. As soon as you meet one she tells you “I’m a Fencible,” “I'm an Emmet,” “A Sealy” and 80 0} A special portion of the grand stand ai the drill ground has been reserved for the girls and their chaperones. The sponsors are always a great feature of encampments and their influence upon the companies is manifest. They are generals in command for the time being, and all men must obey their orders. The men glance with a smile at every pretty girl they meet in hopes that she may be their sponsor or maid of honor, and the girl's spy out the uniform of every handsome soidier in the hope that he is one of “my men.” The sponsors, maids of honor and chaperones will be formally presented to their companies at dress pa- rade this afternoon. The Star's correspondent called on Miss Mary Whittemore, the sponsor for the Fen- cibles, and was entertained by that young lady, ‘her sister and Miss Bell, one of the maids ef honor for Capt. Domer's com- mand. The girls seemed as anxious to mee! the visitors as the boys undoubtedly were to surrender to the fair captors, and they proved themselves expert interroga- tors. Miss Whittemore is one of the wealthiest and most beautiful young ladies of Little Rock, and she has made arrangements to entertain the Fencibles in a most elaborate style. She and her matds of honor and chaperones wiil drive to the camp each day with a four-in-hand turnout. A reception is to be tendered the Fencibles tomorrow even- at ing Miss Whittemore’s home, corner and Scott avenue, to which the feCarthy Light Guard have also been in- 1. Miss Whittemore, on the day she S appointed sponsor for the Fencibles, became the possessor of a handsome mal- tese kitten which bears the proud title “Captain Domer"” and is expected to prove a most successful mascot. The Emmet Guard Sponsor. Miss Cassie Newton, the sponsor for the Emmet Guard, has the reputation of being among the leaders of Little Rock's giris, highly favored with beauty and accomplish- ments, Her home is on Lincoln avenue, in ibe suburbs, and even the other sponsors are forced to admit that the reception she will extend to “her company,” the Emmet Guard, on Thursday evening, is sure to rival any similar social function which the state has witnessed for years. Among the other features of this entertainment will | | | be the introductior of a special electric | Nght plant and lamps. ‘The Site of the Camp. West End Park, the site of the encamp- ment, is situated in the southwestern por- tion of the city, about fifteen minutes’ ride by electric car from the business center of the town. The camps of the Fencibles and Emmets are located in tae northern por- tion of the inclosure, the ground being level and supplied with a heavy growth of timber, affording delightful shade. Board floors and cots have been supplied for the convenience of the Washington boys. -The two regiments of Arkansas infantry in camp are made up of companies from Cabot, Jacksorville, Little Kock, Hope, Pine Bluff, Helena, Star City, Forrest Cit Hot Springs, Van Buren, Magazine, Faulk ner, Paraguild, Marion and Newport. Of these the McCarthy Light Guard and the Fletcher Rifles are the most talked of, they are local organizations. The Me- Carthys gave their final exhibition drill Saturday evening at West End Park before a lerge party cf enthusiastic friends. The company drill was excellent, but a number of individual errors were apparent, und they are what will wreck the company if anything does. There is nothing to be feared from Capt. Wing. The men all have perfect confidence in him, and he never loses his head. But when the Fencibles and the Emmets appear on the field the locals must undoubtedly arrive at the con- clusion that Little Rock does not know it all, so far as tactics are concerned. First, McCarthy Light Guard; second, Sealy Rifles; third, Nationa! Fencibles,and fourth, Branch Guards, is the way the “know-i alls” of Little Rock elaim will be the de- cision of the judges, but they have not as yet seen the representatives of the District of Columbia National Guard interpret tac- ties. The Program. At -o'clock this morning reveille was sounded, affd the regular order of military encampment is to be followed until 4 p. m. when five companies will be inspected, after which the first and second regiment bands will render selections, and then oc- curs the formal opening of camp and re- view of troops. At 6:30 p. m. the com- penies will be introduced to the sponsors, and an hour later all the competing com- panies are to Indulge in exhibition drills. At 8:30 o'clock a concert is to be given by the second regiment band, during which a cadet battalion will show what it can do in the way of military maneuvers. Tattoo sounds at 10:30, which means that visitors mvst leave the grounds. Eleven o'clock is the hour for taps. Tomorrow morning Little Rock proper is destined to witness such a street parade as the majority of its inhabitants never dreamed of. The troops will be brought into the city on street cars at 9 a. m. In the afternoon the McCarthy Light Guard will drill, as will four other crack com- penies. Wednesday will be Memphis day, when all the Memphis companies will drill, as well as several others. An individual competitive drill is on the program for the Fourth of July, the day to wind up with a grand display of fireworks. All Washing- ton, hcwever, will be particularly interested in Thursday, for in the afternoon of that day the champions, the Fenctbles, and the Emmet Guard, as well as a number of cther crsck companies, are to appear in the field. Friday is to be knuwn as Veterans’ day. There will be competitive drills, a at 6 p. m. veterans’ parade, a review of the troops by the governor's staff, cue, dress parade, fireworks and concert at night. - Several competitive drills are down for Saturday, as is an individual competitive drill and a sham battle, in which the entire encampment will participate. On Sunday the anouncement of the judges takes place, and the affair will be at an end. Many of the show windows along the business streets contain photographs of Capt. Domer, Lieut. Mosher and Lieut. Mortimer. The visiting troops will be organized into four battalions and put under command of one of the visiting regular army officers. There will be at least ten regular army officers in the city during the drill. There are but nine entries in the maiden contest. Drill, drill, drill! Sponsors, sponsors, sponsors! are all that are thought of in Little Rock at present. The Veteran Chickasaw Guards are in attendance at the encampment. The temperature of Little Rock is hot, and very hot, too. There has been no rain- fall in this vicinity for six weeks. Both the Fencibles and Emmets are prime favorites with the majority of the inhabi- tants. The Drill Program. , barbe- a band During the coming drills the spectators | Squi will see each captain of company des- perately clutching a few sheets of paper, upon which is written the fate of his com- mand. They will contain the mysterious program for the drill, and upon his proper conception of what is intended to be done everything depends. This program is made up by the judges of the drill, is printed under their supervision and the contents are made known to no one until they are handed to the captains of the different companies for use. A drill program does not contain the or- ders as they are given to the companies by the captain commanding. On the con- trary, everything possible is done to avoid giving him a clue as to what would be the Proper command to give. The judges fig- vre out the time necessary to carry out all the requisite commands and the position in which a company should end its drill after starting from a given point. The program is full of technicalities, and the more there are the better it is’ con- sidered to be. A direction may appear in the list and there may be half a dozen ways in which it could be executed, but the proper one would depend entirely upon | the formation and position of the company at the time. For a captain to decide at sight just what is the right thing to do in @ program of perhaps a hundred directions, and that vefore a large and nervous crowd of envious rivals, requires a man of cool judgment and one to whom drill regula- tions must be as familiar as the alphabet. Under the rules of the Little Rock en- campment companies in the interstate class will be allowed to drill fifteen minutes before the program is handed to the cap- tain. This gives them an opportunity to regain confidence if nervous and to prepare them for the competitive drill, which be- gins as soon as the captain is given the program. The programs for the maiden class are handed to the captains an hour before the drill, and the companies are limited to forty-five minutes in which to execute all the commaads. Commissioned officers in all classes are not allowed to witness drills of companies in their own class prior to thelr own. and pledge them- selves not to give or receive any informa- tion regarding the drills. The programs are returned to the judges after every c. F.C. drill, FC. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Not Recommended. House bill 2104, to incorporate the Wash- ington City Railway Company, has been adversely reported upon by the Commis- stoners. Capt. Powell, in his report upon the bill, says: “Returned with, adverse report; street railways already chartered and recommended, and desirable extensions of existing lines will fully aceommodate the public in the territory covered by the railroad proposed in the bill. Moreover, the part of the route proposed on New Jersey avenue northwest is not deemed advisable.” Arrl js of Fish.

Senator Quay of Pensyivania paid a cood deal of money to the sugar trust’ by a vote cast by him im the Senate this,hfternoon By breaking away from his party and vo ing in the negative on a profic: on eliminate the one-cighth of a ceut-éuty ow refine@ sugar of the pending tariff bill he carried the day for the trust. The vote was 34 to 35 against the proposition, and thus the one vote of Senator Quay changed the result. The vote was taken and made a good deal of excitement, and the result was awaited by Senators with breathless in- terest. It was almost lke taking a vote on the bill itself. The proposition, whi¢h was submitted by Mr. Kyle, was known to jbe advocated by the populists and Senator }r- by at their recent conference, and it was felt that, perhaps, the fate of the bill itsif might hang upon the result. mT There had been several votes on the Sugar schedule before this. mostly upon Propositions to restore the bounty, all of Which had been voted down. A good deal of interest, however, has been given to tue afternoon’s proceedings by Mr. Hill's vic- tory over the committee in securing an amendment putting the sugar schedule into immediate effect. Since that vote demo- cratic Senators had been laboring hard with Messrs. George, Coke and Pugh, who had voted with Mr. Hill. A noisy alterca- tion had been heard in the democratic cloak room. There were evidences of dem- ccratic discontent, and so the vote upon the populist proposition wes awaited with more than usuai interest.

The amend- ment at the request of Mr. Manderson w divided, so that the vote was still taker squarely on the question of eliminating the 1-8 per cent duty. This amendment’ was lost, 34 to 35. It was rumored just before the roll cail was had that Senators Pugh, George and Coke, and perhaps. Senator Ransom, would probably join Measra.. 1{! and Irby and the populists in this attack upon the sugar trust. ont This would carry the amendment even. with Mr. Quay’s vote recorded against it. which was foreshadowed. On the first.eail of the roll Mr. Manderson was silent, and Senator Murphy, who had been voting with the committee steadily, was not’ in the chamber.

There was a pause, and the Vice Presi- dent seemed about to announce the vote when there was a stir at the west entrance of the chamber, and Mr. Murphy came in sight, hurrying to reach his seat befo the announcement. A dozen Senatars ebgut him told him to vote no, gained recognition and asked to vote-in the negative vote and saved the sugar tiust. A shudder ran through the Senate, and one of the greatest scrimmages on the teriff bill was at an end.
