It was placed on the calendar. The resolution provides for the appontment of a congressional committee of seven, three scnators and four members of the house. It Is to be the committee’s duty to investigate and report to congress within cause of the industrial de for so much distress thirty days the pression responsible make up the quorn i throughout the country and what legislation Mr, Dolph made a motion to adjourn, but § iy =gy, and preserve industrial and Withdrew it upon the suggestion of Mr. | grancial condition that will offer speedy, handler that such a motion violated the f plCUEEE COREERE AL iployment o the agreement entered into just before adjourn- ment last night by which it was decided 1o take up the tarift bill at 11 o'clock eacn day. Some routine business preceded the resumption of the tariff debate. A bill passed to pay Charles T.

The cents duty, got more than they bargainced for, as Mr Jones offered today to substitute 60 for cents. Mr. Manderson called attention to the do ument which was issued from the govern- ment printing office today containing the re- plies to the fin smmittee’s circulars with regard to the chemical schedules, His remarks drew out a somewhat lengthy state- ment from Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the flnance committee. The committee had been obliged, in order that the tariff might not be delayed unduly, to deny verbal hearings to persons interested, but had invited written statements. It was, he said, manifestly im- possible for one man to read, sift and mas- ter all this mess of testimony. That was why he had replied to Mr. Hoar's lecture on £ood manners that Lis question the other day was absurd, “If the senator will pardon me," in Tupted Mr. Hoar, “I will say that I ne attempted to lecture the senator from diana. He fs too hopeless a subject.” ““When I recall the lecture given the sen- ator from Massachusetts by a former mem- ber of this body,” replied Mr. Voorhees (r count contest of 1576), nothing he can say can disturb me.” Mr. Hoar, returning to the question of the hearing, sald that during his long carcer at both ends of the capitol he had never known a time when the tariff changes were In- under discussion that hearings had not been given both by the ways and means committeo and the finance committee. While the debate was proceeding Mr. Voorhees interrupted to say that the proofs of another volume of the replies on the chemical schedule had just been laid on his desk. Mr. Lodge then took up the consideration of the proposed duty on tannic acld and supported it. . The debate was continued in a desultory manner, Mr. Chandler, as on yesterday, in- dulging in some fine sarcasm at the ex- pense of his political adversaries. PLAIN TALK FROM HALE. ~ Mr. Hale concluded an ironical character- * zation of the democratic side with a rather sensational announcement. It was time for a few plain words, he said. Intimations b had been received on the republican side of the chamber, not only from the other side, but from the high priests of tariff reform in other quarters, that the program involved in the presentation of the last series of amendments from the finance committee, making the bill an entirely new one, was for the purpose of greasing its way through the senate. Then, after it had gone out of the supervision of the senate, it is to be thrown into a conference committee—a com- mittee ostensibly representing both houses of congress, but in reality a committee ¢ having autocratic powers. There the in- timations tell us it Is their scheme to give away all the senate amendments, and the Wilson bill, with all its incongruities, 15 to be returned for the approval of the fenate, If the last bill of the finance com- mittee was to boe-given up In conference, if the country had been encouraged by false evidenco of repentance, then he notified the democrats on the other side (Mr. Hale o said this with impressive emphasis) the bill would never go through the senate. The spirit now exhibited on’ the republican side would change and the minority would find some means to defeat the bill. The Jones amendment fixing the duty on tannic acid at 60 cents was then agreed to— 83 to 11, On the Jones amendment increasing the duty on tartaric acid from 10 to 20 per cent the vote failed to show a quorum by one vote, but the Jones amendment was agreed to without division, but on the next vote to change the duty from 20 per cent to a specific duty of 7 cents the quorum again falled. A quorum was with difficulty secu on this amendment and it was defeated, 1 to 18, The next paragraph was alcoholic per- fumery, Including cologne water and other tollet waters, on which the duty was placed at $2 per gallon and 25 per cent ad valorem in the house bill. The Jones amendment in- | creased the ad valorem duty to G0 per cent. Agreed to without division. Mr. Jones presented an entirely amendment to the next paragraph to chang the duty on aluminia in its various chemical forms from 80 per cent ad valorem to a specific duty of four-tenths of 1 cent per pound. Mr. Aldrich moved an amendment to make it six-tenths of a cent. The quorum again falled on Mr. Aldrich’s motion and Mr. Har- ris decided to make no further effort to se- cure one today, 5o at 3:56, upon his motion, the senate adjourned. new SANITAR M FOR Lucas Expects to Have His Bill Favorably Reported to the House Toesday. WASHINGTON, May 12. — (Special Tele- gram to The Bee)—Representative Lucas of South Dakota was today before the house committee on public buildings and grounds and was glven such assurances that he be- lleves his bill for the construction of a sani- tarlum at Hot Springs, 8.

WASHINGTON, May 12.—An interesting question will be presented to the house next week when the committee on rules, of which Speaker Crisp Is chalrman, reports on the resolution of Representative Breckinridge of Arkansas for a new rule permitting a tarift amendment on sugar as a rider to one of the appropriation bills. The committee has not yet acted on the resolution, but Mr. Breck- inridge has no doubt the rule will be franied. He says there has been no hurry about it, as the leglslative, judicial and executive ap- propriation bills will not be presented until next week, and it is on this bill that it is proposed to attempt to ingraft the sugar amendment, The rule, after being framed by the committee, will have to be passed on by the house. The Loulsiana delegation In congress are @live Lo the lwportauce of the new. nk.' cit Cor s of the United States.” ideration of the naval appropriation bill was then resumed in the committee of the whole. A long and interesting discus- slon was precipitated by the offering of an amendment by Mr. Maddox of Georgla, pr viding that no part of the money appropr ated for the naval academy should be used for the support of education of naval cadets who at the time of their appointment were not actual residents of the congressional district they were appointed to represent, ot there were The debate developed the between thirty and forty cadets who were appointed by the secretary of the navy owing to th fallure of members of congress (o nominate cadets, and who were representing districts of which they were not residents. he adoption of the amendment would entail the discharge of all those cadets Mr. Cummings introduced a substitute re quiri the secrctary of the navy, in the failure of a member of congress to nominate a cadet to fill the vacancy, o appoint a ¢ who shall be a resident of the district from which he is appointed. The adopt this substitute would not require th charge” of illegally appointed cadet would prevent the repetition of the practico No actic was taken on the amendments for want of a quorum. Two other amendments were agreed to, one appropriating $50,000 for a tug at Mare Island navy yard, California, and the other appropriating $4,150 for the construction of a bulkhead at the naval asylum at Philadel- phia. At 4:27 the house adjourned, By It € er and Better Pig Tron s duced Than by Old Processes. WASHINGTON, May 12.—A reduction in the cost of casting iron, steel and other metals by 50 per cent; a great saving in time; the production of castings free from oxidization and blow holes, and, most im- portant of all, the production of pig iron in mountainous and remote districts having water power and ore but no coal; all these things may result from the application of electricity, according to a new process de- seribed in a report to the Department of State by United States Consul Frank Mason, at Frankfort, Germany. The process Is n as the Taussig, and provides for ing and casting metals by electric heat under the influence of rarefied air. An alr tight furnace lined with glassed fire brick has its hearth connected with molds Into which the fused metal flows by gravita- tion, The fire brick lining forms an effi- clent insulation and the electric current Is sent through the charge directly without the use of any fuel or the employment of carbon electrodes. Thereby the fused metal is nearly pure and free from carbon, and the continued exhaustion of the air and gases produced increases the fluidity of the molten metal, prevents oxidization and blistering and produces dense, smooth castings of the highest mechanical qualities. In a small experimental furnace a ton and a half of pig iron was smelted in fifteen minutes by a current of 30,000 amperes and fitty volts—about 2,000 horse power. With water power the cost is very low, and even using steam to generate the electric cur- rent there Is an cconomy in fuel in smelt- ing of 30 to 50 per cent. The cost of pIg iron, with ore at $2.40 per ton, it is sald, would not_exceed §8 per ton with a motive power of 1,000 horse power. - ADMIRAL WALKER'S REPORT. Received at Honolulu with the Usual Official Courtesies. WASHINGTON, May 12.—The Navy de- partment has recelved a report from Ad- miral Walker announcing his arrival at Honolulu, His communication is dated April 25, and is as follows: “I have the honor to inform the depart- ment that on the 14th instant, the date of assuming command of this station, the Eng- lish and Japanese vessels In port saluted my flag and their commanding officers called upon me officially. These calls were re- turned on the 16th instant. On the 17th instant, accompanied by my personal staff, I called upon the United States minister and later was presented by him to the pro- visional government. The battalion of gov- ernment troops was paraded and the usual honors were given upon my arrival and de- parture. The president, with members of the executive council, justices of the su- preme court and two aides returned my call on the afternoon of the same day and were received with honors due thelr rank. Visits were also exchanged with representatives of the English, German, Japanese and Por- tuguese governments.' Admiral Walker appears to be prosecuting his inquiries into the cost and method of improving Pearl harbor for a United States naval station, for he has asked for detailed maps of the harbor and islands, APPROPRIATING FOR THE TREA IRY. Basing the Expenses on the Assumption the Dockery Bill WL Pass, WASHINGTON, May 12.—Practical effect will be glven to the rccommendations of the Dockery Joint commission in the legislative, judicial and executive appropriation bill to be reported next Tuesday.

B Forelgners Murder and Kob an American, WASHINGTON, May 12.—~The United States minister at Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Mr. Young, has been instructed by the De- partment of State to make an investigation of the case of Mrs. Emma Renton and to report the result to the department. Mrs. Renton, who has just arrived in New York from Blueflelds, lived with her husband on a valuable plantation in Honduras. The ad- Joining property was owned by the Brewers Wood ‘and Produce company, the employes of which were Canadians, French and Scotch. The company, according to Mrs. Renton's story, which is corroborated by afdavits by United States consular agents and others, trespassed upon her husband's property and finally Killed her husband and Mr. Johnson, an American visitor, They looted the plant- ation, dragged Mrs. Renton and her niece many miles through a foul swamp, threat- ened her with death, and drove her out of Honduras into Nicaragua.

Satolll has made public an official statement on the re- instatement to the priesthood of Dr. Me- Glynn. “The conditions on which I ab- solved Dr. McGlynn by authcrity received from the Holy Father," eaid he, “‘were: “First, that he should make a thorough tement of his views doctrines in re- gard to soclal economy and present it to me and I weuld revise them and then sub- mit them to four doctors of divinity for re- vision. This condition he fulfilled, and it was acknowledged that nothing he did or said was opposed to the Catholic doctrine, “Second, that Dr. McGlynn should make a written apology for whatever he might have sald disregardful of or derogatory to the ecclesinstical authorities and state that he admitted all the doctrines of the Catholic church, and especially what the Holy Father hes in his encyclical Rerum Novarum, and he fulfilled this condition also and this declaration was immediately sent to Pope Leo at Rome and was published In this country some time afterwards. “Third, that Dr. McGlynn would promise that he would go to Rome after a certain dsfinite time, This last condition was com- plied with also.” In reply to a question as to why Dr. Me- Glynn had not been appointed to a pastorate Mgr. Satolli replied that he never inter- fered Jn such matters and would not in this case. ONI0 MEN LIKE IT, t Evoking Sengtor Manderson's Amend Much Interest. WASHINGTON, May 12.—Dealers in oleo- margarine are manifesting much interest in the amendment to the oleomargarine law introduced by Senator Manderson a few days ago. They are especially pleased with the proposed amendment reducing the 1i- cense for dealers from $480 to $240. Mr. Manderson, In explaining the reason for his change, says: “There are now 283 wholesale dealers and 6,369 retail dealers licensed to deal In oleomargarine, for which the sum of $354,058 (for the year ended June 30, 1893), has been paid. This amount is one- half more than enough to pay the expenses of the Internal revenue department in col- lecting in the tax, 2 cents per pound on oleomargarine, for*which purpose the li- conse tax was instituted.” Another amendment permits the use of tin as well as wooden and paper packages, it being desirable in_domestic shipments to some parts of the United States and neces- sary In export shipments to prevent soakage and deterioration which sometimes affects shipments in wooden packages. The third amendment proposes that the manufacturer may put in a stamped pack- age of not less than one pound of oleomar- garine instead of ten pounds, which is now the minimum weight package which a man- ufacturer_may pack. Explaining this change, Senator Manderson says in his statement “The object of this amendment is to pro- vide the retailer with an original package to sell, properly marked and branded; and as the retailer will be restrained from sell- ing any oleomargarine in any quantity ex- cept in the manufacturers’ original package, it fs necessary that he should be provided with a package as small as one pound. The restrictions as to the minimum amount a wholesale dearer may sell that exists in the present bill is not changed by this amend- ment. Under the provision of this amend- ment no oleomargarine can be sold by any lcensed dealer, wholesale or retail, except in the original stamped package, thus in- variably advising all buyers of the fact that thev are buying oieomargarine, and also of the name of the party manufactur- ing the same, it being expected that the regulation wili require the original package to be stamped with the word ‘oleomargar- ine’ and also the factory number and name of the manufacturer.’” WESTERN 1 ENSIONS, Veterans of the Late War Remembered by the General Government.

WASHINGTON, May 12.—United States Consul Germain at Zurich has transmitted to the Department of State a report of cer- tain experiments made in Switzerland to demonstrate that the hee has other uses than as a honey producer. To ascertain whether the bees injure fruit and vegetable flowers by extracting their honey, the ex- perimenters covered part of the branches of cherry and pear trees and fruit bushes with a fine netting to exclude the bees, Nearly all of the flowers dropped off the protected branches and there was no fruit on them, while the uncovered branches bore luxurfantly. The deduction fs that the bees' visits are necessary to fertilize the blossoms by transferring pollen. Limiting the Seal Catch, WASHINGTON, May 12, — Secretary Carlisle In an official communication to J. B. Roweley, special agent in Chicago for the seal islands of Alaska, has limited the cateh of seals during the present scason by the North American company to 7,500; but, If in the judgment of Agent Crowley the conditions ‘of the herds will warrant such action, the number may be increased to not exceed 20,000 scals In all.

At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the Omaha Street Rallway com- pany it was decided to repudiate in part the Street R agreement of President Murphy with the park commissioners in regard to paying a proportion of the expense incident to the band concerts in the parks during the summer months, In previous seasons all the concerts have been given In Hanscom park. This year there was such a dete mined demand for music at other places that the board decided to give twelve concerts at Hanscom park, five at Jefferson square, two at Bemis park and two at Riverside park. The Street Railway company has been ac customed to pay one-half the expenses of the Hanscom park concerts and President Murphy assured the members of the board that they would be wiiling to do the same thing this year. They would agree to th same arrangement with regard to the Bemis and Riverside park concerts, but refused to contribute anything to the Jefferson square entertainments, This was satl factory to the board and arrangements were made accordingly. At the directors mecting they refused to approve Mr. Murphy's recommendation ex- cept as far as it referred to Hanscom park The expense of the other concerts will there- fore have to be paid entirely by the park commission, prisetts TR CAUGHT ONE OF THEM.

The convicted de- fendant will be sentenced next Saturday and in_the meantime will enjoy his liberty under $1,500 bonds. The verdict was recsived with a hroad smile by the crowd in the court room, who had been listening to the evidence for two days. It had been thought possible that a verdict of guilty would be rendered against Morrison and White, but how the jury man- aged to single out White and let all three of the others go was something that was altogether too deep for the average indi- vidual and they gave it up. Judge Doane, in his closing argument for the state, took occasion to further touch up the detective force, reiterating to the jury what he had previously said to the court about the convenient blindness of the cats who do not catch mic s e e Monterey's Armor Defective. SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.—An evening paper publishes a sensational story to the effect that representatives of Secretary Herbert have begun an Investigation of the plates of the monitor Monterey at Mare {sland and have discovered serious defects in her construction. A photographer was taken aboard and a0 photographs of a number of plates, intention being to have the Carnegle mark on the informers them the exact location of the weak plates and thus make easy the work of the in- vestigators. One of the officials making the investigation is quoted as saying that places have been found where the shect would have crumbled if struck by a rouna shot and that from appearances the vessel would not stand ordinary fire. The final tests are to be made after the informers have indicated_what plates are bad.

OTTAWA, Ont., May 12.—The report from the commander of the cruiser Curlew, which seized the American steamers for violating the fishery regulations in Lake Erie, will reach Ottawa today. In an interview Sir Charles Tupper said: “Canadian fishermen must take out a license, but these pot-hunt- ers took all the fish t nted without having to pay for a license. This state of affairs 1 am’ determined to prevent in the future. ~ The Canadian government has adopted a system of granting license, which the United States has declined so’ far to do. As for international complications arising out of these seizures I have no fear, as the commander of the Canadian cruiser has only followed out his Instructions to seize Canadian as well as American fishing vessels without licénse, and the Canadian government s further strengthened by the knowledge that the American vessels were poaching in Canadian territory.” e Tacoma Suvings Bank Closed.

BOSTON, May 12.—Edward Cahill, aged 35 years, a coal and wood dealer, attempted to murder James Flood, aged 33, a hostler at 122 Hudson street, this morning by firing two bullets into his head. Cahill then shot and killed himself. Flood will probably re- cover. The shooting is thought to be the outcome of a malpractice case which occurred about two years ago, in which Cahill was mixed up, and which' resulted in his disap- pearance at that time. el sa il Arkansas Pythian Home, LITTLE ROCK, May 12.—The grand lodge of the Knights of Pythlas of Arkansas, in session at Hot Springs, raised a $5,000 fund for the purpose of byilding an additional Pythian home, to be erected at that place, and recommended an, ggsessment upon each member of the order in the United States to be devoted to the fynd.

WESTERN INTEREST MENACED Wyoming's Senator on an Important Feature of the Tariff Bill, CATTLE INDUSTRY WILL BE RUINED Cheap Ani from Mexico and Canade Will Rushed Across the Border With- out Restriction Under the Pro- posed Mensure, CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 12.—(Speclal ta The Bee.)—Senator Joseph M. Carey came home from Washington Thursday on a brief business trip. He fs enjoying excellent health and greeted most cordially the many friends who called at bis office today to pay their respects, The Bee correspondent ywas accorded a brief interview, touching upon national legislation, “The impression on the republican side of the senate,” sald the senator, “is that it will be at least six wecks before a vote can be reached on the tariff bill. Of course the length of time that it will be under con- sideration will be contingent, more or less, upon the changes that are made in the bill from time to time. It has not been fully formulated as yet, and the 400 new amend- ments will prolong d:bate. Assuming that these amendments eported by the finance committee Wil be in- corporated in the bil, the measure now pending is more like the McKinley law than 1t Is like the Wilson bill as it came from the house. The amended bill s against the agricultural interests. especlally | the interests of the Rocky mountain reglon. \umerous instances where the bill will be particularly damag- ing to the interests of the west. Cattle have recently been purchased in Mexico at $3 a head, in Mexican money. But as the silver certificates of the United States will buy Mexican silver at the rate of $2 for one, the actual cost of Mexican cattle would be but $1 a_head. The proposed tariff bill fixes the duty at 20 per cent ad valorem, based upon the actual cost, making the duty 20 cents a head. Under the McKinley law the tariff is $10 a head for common stock. It can be readily seen what a demoralizing effect such a reduction in the duty would have on the cattle industry in this country. The same is true with respect to horse If the proposed schedule Is adopted thors oughbred Canadian horses will be brought over the line and sold for $20 a head. INCOME TAX FEATURE. Continuing, he sald that the Income tax feature of the bill had not been stricken out, although the most objectionable provislons had been eliminated. “The republicans in the senate have done everything in their power to keep a duty on wool,” sald he, “but have been unable to make an impres The senator cited sion In this regard. The democrats claim that free wool was one of the Issues on which they were elected, and even the democratic - senators from the great wool producing states refuse thelr consent to putting a tariff on the raw material, “The greatest Interest centers about the sugar schedules, and it s believed that a split may yet come on this article, cnator Carey's views on the question of bimetallism have not changed. He sald: “There is a very strong party In this coun- try in favor of internaticnal bimetallism, and it is growing. What Is true of this country s true of Great Britain, The financlers of that country agree that it could not maintain the free coinage of silver, but the financiers of the world are gradually coming to the same bellef as that expressed by the republican party in its last national platform adopted in 1892, The republican party as a whole believes that the world would be greatly benefited by a return to the coinage of both gold and sllver. The ‘ea 1s growing, and is rapidly taking pos- session of the east “It is the gencral bellef that the Lodge amendment will recelve a large vote when it Is changed in some essential particulars. It is the idea of most of the republicans who have studied the question that Great Brit= aln alone stands In the way of international bimetallism, and that some pressure should be brought to bear upon that country to bring about an agreement. “I consider, honestly and falthfully, that those who favor the international idea of the bimetallic question are better friends to the silver Interests than those who favor freo and unlimited coinage of silver by this country alone. The latter wculd bring this country to the condition Mexico finds her- self In at this time.” Senator Carey thinks the outlook most encouraging for republican success through= out the country this fall, and it s his opinion that there will be a revolution in the representation In the house.
