THE _OMAHA DAILY BEE _THURSDAY ALLEN STANDS BY COXEY & Upholds the Army's Right to Parade at the Nation's Oapital, TARIFF BILL TAKEN UP BY SECTIONS wspaper Talk Concerning Amendments Causes an Interesting Colloguy Between Aldrich and Vest—Palmer Defines 11s Position on the Tarift WASHINGTON, April 25.—The senate pre- sented an appe of calm after the storm today. The galleries were only halt filled, while the democratie senators gave evidence of a sense of relief that the first the tarift debate was concluded coupled with a determination to on the work. Other bills were Introduced and appropriately referred, the principal one be- ing a bill by Senator Peffer and referred to the committee on the District of Columbia, entitled, “A bill to provide work for unem- ployed persons in the District of Columbia,” ALLEN STANDS BY COXEY. rance step In carry Mr. ing resolution, for which ate consideration: Whereas, It Is currently reported that unarmed, law-abiding and peaccably dis- posed but unemployed citizens of the United States are about to peaceably assemble in Washington to petition the government for a redress of their grievances, and Whereas, Threats of arresting such sons have been made on their entering the District of Columbia and the city Washington; therefore be it Resolved, First, That under the constitu- tion of the United States, citizens of the United States, regardless of their ranl station in life, have an undoubted and un- questioned right to peaceably assemble and petition the government for a redress of their grievances at any place within the United States, where they do not create a breach ot the peace, menace or endanger persons or property or disturb the transaction of the public business, or the free use of streets and highways by the public. Second, That such persons have as un- doubted a right to visit and assemble in the city of Washington for any and all purposes as’In any portion of the territory belonging to the jurisdiction of the United States, at all times belng amenable to the law for any violation thereof. Third, That such persons have a right to enter on the capitol grounds of the United States and In the capitol itself to as full and as great an extent as any other citizens or persons as long as they do not disturb or hinder the transaction of the public business, menace the public peace or rights of persons and property, and any threat of vio- lence to such persons under such circum- stances would be a clear violation of thelr nstitutional rights. ourth, That we commend the prompt en- forcement of all just constitut'onal laws look- ing to the preservation of the public busin and the prevention of crime, but under tense of preserving the public peace and the prevention and punishment of crime, peace- able and law abiding citizens must not be disturbed in the full and free exercise of their constitutional rights. Objection was made to the consideration of the resolution and it went over under the rules, The house bill to ratify the reservation of certain lands made for the benefit of Okla- homa Territory was passed. A long argument followed Mr. Harris' re- quest for unanimous consent to consider the tarift bill from 1 to 6 o'clock each day this week. Mr. Harris, being refused unanimous consent to his proposition, put it in the form of a motion and said it could go over until tomorrow. The tarlff bill was then taken up to be read by paragraphs. The first formal read- ing of the bill was dispensed with. ALDRICH AND VEST HAVE A TILT. Senator Aldrich spoke against the bill when the first amendment was reached, that fixing the date when it should go into effect. He said no one knew the form in which the bill would be presented finally for the vote of the senate, for the newspapers gave the information that negotiations were in pros gress on the democratic side for the purposa of catching votes for the passage of the bill, “What is the senator's authority for that statement?" inquired Mr. Vest. I deny It emphatically and decidedly.’” “Does the senator from Missouri mean t0 say that negotiations are not at this mo- ment going on between the senators on that side of the chamber looking to the securing of votes to pass the bill?” asked Mr. Al- drich. Mr. Vest replied that it was an absurdity for any one to hold any United States send- tor responsible for charges contained in the newspapers. “I mean to assert,” cof- tinued he, “that within by knowledge no such negotiations are going on. The seni- tor’s statements are absolutely incorrect, »0 far as I know and believe.” “If the senator from Missourl,” sald Mr, Aldrich, “says that no such thing is going on, then it is going on without his knowl- edge or connivance or consent, for I know that changes are being made fn the bill from day to day to secure votes on the democratic side of the chamber. No one can say what shape the bill will be in when it is finally put on its passage. WIill the Income tax be in it? Will the sugar tax be in it? DEMOCRATS MUST MAINTAIN QUORUM. Mr. Platt of Connecticut followed on the same line of argument, enlarging upon it somewhat, however. During Mr. Platt’s speech, the intention of the republicans to keep the democratic senators in their seats and incidentally to delay the bill was made manifest by the suggestion of Mr, Frye that there was no quorum. During the roll call which was ordered, a number of senators came In, so the roll call showed sixty sen- ators present. Mr. Palmer of Illinois said if all the harm had already been done, as asserted by the two preceding speakers, e did not see what objectlon there could be in passing this bill. Mr. Aldrich interrupted him to assert that he had not claimed that all the harm was done; on the contrary, he believed it had ely commenced. Ile had said that the country was suffering from paralysis of trade and business. he term paralysis,” sald Mr. Palmer, “indicates a condition short of death. I un- derstood the scnator to say some time ago if Mr. Cleveland w the country.” “If the loglcal result of Mr. Cleveland's election is the passage of this bill, he i right in his premises, Mr. Palmer then he asked immedi- per- in went into a discussion Allen of Nebraska offered the follow- | ot | or | { from re elected it would paralyzo | replied Mr. Aldrich. | pictures and sketches to assist in supporting the fuots untry’ wh Passog the agricultural h he predicted of this bill.

The motion was agreed to. Mr. Herman of Oregon offered an amend- ment to reduce the salaries of the consuls Amoy, Canton and Tlentsin, China, from 3,600 to $3,000. Speaking to the amend- | ment, he severely criticised the treaty re cently negotiated by Yang Yu and Secretary ssham. That treaty, he said, was de- signed to reverse the American policy of excluding Chinese entered into in 1880, It would permit Chinese laborers to come here in direct contravention of the exclusion laws passed by congress. Mr. Wilson of Washington phatically that at the precise time when the house was debating the bill to extend the provisions of the Geary exclusion law the president, in company with the chief mogul who presided over the State depart- ment, was signing a treaty with the Chinese minister to nullify the act of congress. The Herman amendment was defeated— to 6 Mr. Hepburn offered an amendment, pro- viding that all fees of every character, of- flcial and unofficial, coiected or received by the consuls at Liverpool, Hongkong, Amoy, Canton, Tientsin, Havre, Cailao, Prague, Antwerp, Valparaiso,’ Chingklang, Fuchan, Hankow, Bordeaux, Belfast, Bradford, Dem- cra, Glasgow, Kingston, Manchester, Vera Cruz, Matanzas, Basle and Montevideo should be turned into the treasury and their salaries should be theirsole compensation.
