Action on the Nominations of Messra. Ross and Macfarland. A brief executive session was held by the Senate just before adjournment yesterday afternoon. The nominations of Comm: sicners John W.

The War Department has decided that the revised Cuban tariff shall go into operation June IS next. The Official Gazette of Ha- vana will on May 15 begin publication of the repertory, Indicating the extent and char- acter of the changes made in the existing tariff schedules. It is stated that the pur- bose of the revision was to make good grave defects In the Porter tariff which ex- perience has developed. The principal fault which ts sought to be cured is the inad- equacy of the Porter tariff as a revenue pro- ducer, and it is also sought in the revision to stimulate the introduction into Cuba of American goods, which so far have not been received in the Cuban markets to anything like the extent anticipated when the origin: tariff was arranged. "s ze ATTACK ON ADMINISTRATION TREATMENT OF VOLUNTEERS IN ae PHILIPPINES DISCUSSED. Debate in the Senate om the Army Bill Opposition to Haste in the Clark Case. Consideration of the army appropriation bill in the Senate yesterday afternoon de- veloped a debate on the treatment of the volunteer soldiers sefit to thé Philippines that at times was very bitter. Mr. Turner (Wash.) made a vicious attack upon the administration because of the alleged lack of accommodations afforded the volunteers on the transports returning from the Phil ippines. He was followed by Mr. Pet grew, who in a long speech violently ar- raigned the government for not discharg- ing the South Dakota volunteers when their time had expired. Just before adjournment a sharp colloquy oceurre@ over the proposed consideration of the resolution to unseat Mr. Clark of Mon- tana, which indicated that the unanimous recommendation of the committee on privi- leges and elections will be sharply con- tested. Mr. Turner of Washington advocated his amendment providing that the volunteer soldiers in the Philippines should receive travel pay and commutation of subsistence, less the actual cost of their transportation to the United States, when they remained there and performed willing service after they were entitled to discharge. He_said the amendment applied to 10,000 officers and men scattered all over the country, affecting men in nearly a score of states. The Secretary of War had estimated the cost of carrying this amendment into ef- fect at $7,000,000, but he was satisfied that the Secretary had been imposed upon? He did not think it would require more than $1,500,000, Mr. Turner appealed to General Hawley as a patriot of the civil war to do justice to the young patriots of "98. Mr. Hawley said he served in the army for four years, and the government had paid him ‘every cent he was entitled to. He then made the point of order against the amendment that it was a change of existing law. The point of order was sustained. In a sharp speech Mr. Rawlins (Utah) de- clared that there was a distinction between the treatment of the Astor Battery and the Utah Battery. He said that the Astor Bat- tery had been given just what was proposed by Mr. Turner's amendment, yet the Utah Battery was not allowed the same pay. “It was an outrage.” declared Mr. Raw- ns, “which no man loving justice would be guilty of.” Says Volunteers Were Detained. Mr. Pettigrew bitterly denounced the gov- ernment for keeping the volunteers in ser- vice after their time had expired. Mr. Nelson thought if Mr. Pettigrew had had experience in the civil war he would not have uttered the words he had against the government. He told of the veteran bounty offered during the civil war—a beunty of $300, two months’ furlough and transportation home for re-enlistment. This was offered because the veterans were more valuable as soldiers than green men. So it was in the Philippines. The men who had rved there were more valuable than new men, who might be sent to the islands. He bell that the men of the South Dakota regiment would resent the utterances of Mr. Pettigrew as an imputation against their loyalty and patriotism. Mr. Pettigrew replied that Mr. Nelson's “attack” upon the South Dakota soldiers would be resented if he were were they could get at him, “bu said he, “they will have to take it out in an opinion of the senator's bravery.” Mr. Pettigrew then had read many letters from officers and men of the South Dakota regiment in support of the statements he ad made. ‘ommenting upon one of the letters, Mr. tigrew said that hundreds of soldicrs had served in the Philippines were now of St. Elizabeth's Insane Asylum at shington. At least 200, he declared, had committed suicide. Mr. Pettigrew, in the course of his re- marks, had a letter read which he wrote to the President. in which he used most vio- lent and abusive language against the chief executiv 3 Mr. Pettigrew asked to print as an unanimous consent appendix to his remarks other documents, but Mr. Platt (Conn.) ob- jected, and the South Dakota senator pro- ded to read them. He yielded the floor for an executive session, promising to con- clude his statement at another time. Mr. Tillman, pending the motion for an xecutive session, offered a resolution call- is upon the cretary of War for informa- tion of the amount and character of claims filed with the War Department for damages done by the United $1 soldiers in and near camps for the troops established in this country during the war with Spain, and directing him to report what amount, in his opinion, was justly and equitably ‘due to claimants. The resolution was passed. The Clark Case. Mr. Hoar (Mass.) then gave notice that at the conclusion of morning business to- day he would move to proceed to the con- deration of the resolution declaring Mr. Clark of Montana not to be entitled to his seat in the Senate. The notice aroused an interesting col- loquy, indicating that some senators would ist upon time in which to examine the timony taken by the committee on priv- fleges and elections. Mr. Bate said sufficient time had not been had yet by Senators to examine the case, and he was assured by Mr. Hoar that prop- er time would be granted without a doubt. Mr. Chandler said that reasonable time would be given, but unreasonable delay would not be submitted to. Mr. Bacon (Ga.) said there might be a difference of opinion as to what constituted ‘onable delay. said he, “evidently desires to rush this question to a vote, but it is too important a matter for hurried action. I do not know how much time I should require to examine the three volumes of testimony, 1 do not know how much time I to the matter. I shall not con- t to fix a time for consideration until I have had time to examine the testimony. I know of no man who has had yet time to go through that testimony. I do not believe any senator desires unduly to delay con- sideration of the resolution.” Opposed to Haste. Mr. Stewart suggested that there ought to be no attempt to rush the matter, as it would require more time to read the three volumes of testimony in the Senate than it would for senators to exdmine them at their leisure. Mr. Chandler said the statement of Mr. Stewart could be taken only as a threat to have the three volumes of testimony read in the Senate. He had heard, he said, that there was a purpose, of which he entirely acquitted any senator, to delay the consid- eration of the Clark resolution in orler to prevent the governor of Montana {rom ap- pointing a senator to auce2e] Mr. Clark in case he should be unseated. He had heard that it was intended to attem: to postpone the case until next winter in order that Mr. Clark might be in a better position to prose- cute his claims for re-ciection before the lature of Montana. e were rumors, he supposed, but he notice that he would flemand a ye and nay vote on the proposttion of consid- eration and definite action if suca tactics were resorted to. After a brief executive session, the Sen- ate at 5:20 p.m. adjourned. To Increase Demand for Sugar. Vice Consul Murphy, at Magdeburg, re- perts to the State Department that the growth of the beet sugar industry in the United States and the increase of sugar pro- duction in other parts of the world are al- ready causing anxiety in Germany, and the scientists are casting about for other uses for the German sugar. Various propositions are under consideration, some looking to in- crease of the export trade and others to an augmentation of the internal consumption of sugar, to be achieved, so far as the army is concerned, by arbitrary legislation in the characteristic German method. Numerous experiments are also being made with sugar as the base to determine to what extent it can be utilized as food for hogs and as a muscle developer for the human race. The results so far recorded by the consul are in- teresting, as indicating a hitherto unknown value for sugar as a military food. —_— o+_____ The strike of the carpenters of Boston and vicinity is practically ended by nearly all firms signing the new schedule. —" “Hechts* Greater Stores.” 4513/515 Seventh Street.

Chairman Jones Claims for Him 800 of the 930 Delegates. From the New York Herald, today. Senator Jones, chairman of the democrat- | ic national committee, who has so effect- ively nurtured the political interests of Mr. Bryan for the last four years, contemplates with marked complacency the situation as it exists prospectively up to and during the Kansas City convention. In talking tonight, about the projected movement to circumyent Mr. Bryan's nom- ination, Senator Jones said: “The proposed moyement ig very well known. It is doubtless a new lease of a similar project fixed a few weeks ago in this city, but which amounted to nothing serious. There is no harm in exchanging views, but it is somewhat perplexing to rec- oncile the judgment of such an astute poll- tician as Mr. Gorman as favoring the move- ment contemplated, e¥en if it had the pros- pect of enough following to get it started. “I nave a very high regard for Mr. Gor- man’s political sagacity, but I cannot think it will stand the test of embarking on such a scheme. * “If it is a move to bring Mr. Cleveland to the front it might as well be abandoned. His friends will verysopn find that out if they look at the metesiseriously. All the gentlemen mentioned connection with this New York meetgng pave been active in party councils, butjdtetg not in the weight of numbers to preyent,dthe nomination of Mr. Bryan, no matter what they may un- dertake to do. 2 eis “There will be @X¢-vples in the Kansas City convention. Qfthaf number not less than 750—we claim, ill be pledged to Mr. Bryan. Thattegyes 180. It will re- quire 311 to prevent Mr. Bryan's nomina- tion. I cannot see where_they expect to get them. Under the igxp-puirds rule 622 will nominate Mr. Bryan. We have a margin of not less than 120, gnd It will doubtless be many more. eros = “If the contemplated fnéeting ena>les the gentlemen who maywbe pitrties to it to con- vince themselves ofythqse facts, and they govern themselves ggepr@ingly, it will serve a useful purpose. “No one has yetbén'Gonsidered for the vice presidential notamation. This can be said, however, thatthe individual who will be selected will .be gne who must stand squarely upon the Chicago platform of 1896, and the Kansas City ’platform ‘of 1900. “As far us the personnel of the coming conventian is concerned, there will be no half-way measures. “The candidates and the platform will be expdnents of democratic principles as they exist, and in support of which the democrati¢ voters a party must go before the cahintry.”” ——_ Schley’s Ships to Celebrate.
