a RL - (3 &) TUESDAY JUNE 12 1891, SENATOR QUAY IS EMPHATIC He Gots Pretty Warm Cver a Newspaper 8tory Concerning Him. | CALLS IT A PURE FABRICATION Betier Progress Made on the Tariff il Yesterday than for Several Weeks —Three dules Disposed Of and the tire Wool Sehedule Comes Next. WASHINGTON, June il.—The senate to day commenced the eleventh week of the } tariff deba At the opening of the ses- | sion Mr. Morrill was granted the privilege of addressing the senate for a few minute in support of his amendment to the naval appropriation bill authorizing the appoint- ment of the superintendent of the United st naval observatory from civil life at a salary of $5,000, and providing for the reorganization of. the observatory. Mr Morrill pointed out at length the Ivantage of placing at the head of ti tional ob- servatory & man who had made the science of astronomy a life study. Mr. Quay then created a slight diversion by ng to a question of privilege and sending to the clerk’s desk what he char- acterized as “A lying statement for which Senator Chandler given authority.” It proved to be a Washington dispatch to a mewspaper of New York alleging that “‘a Philadel; yndicate of which Mr. Quay was the active agent” was see to get control of the surface road: Washing- ton through congressional legislation. The dispatch stated that the scheme was as malodorous as the Sugar trust scandal Mr. Quay made a personal explanation after the clerk had read the article. The statemer talned in it, said he, that certain of Philadelphia, of whom Thomas Dolan was one (who the others were he knew nou, had corporate interests In certain railroads in the District of Col- embia and wero secking and enlargement the scope of their franchises, in what 7 he knew not. At the r est of Mr. Dolan he (Quay) had done for the Phila- delphia gentleman what he would do for any other cl n of Pennsylvenia, he had introduced them to MeMillin and Mr. Faulkner of the District of Columbia committee so that they £ould present their case. He had not talke with ’r of these senafors since. Last Friday, being informed that the bill affecting the Interests of this corporation would be under consideration in the house today, he had asked gome of tion from Pennsylva quorum, That was the whole of his connec- tion with the matter. Mr. Quay said that in making this explanation he had departed from his usual custom of treating with silent he members of the delega- to help constitute a contempt the hundred thousand newspaper lles made about him for two reasons: First, because the article was evidently written with the purpose of affecting legislation to- day, and, second, because Mr. Chandler had been given as authority for the statements contained therein. Mr. Chandler made a statement when Mr. Quay took his seat to the effect that he had heard of this syndicate; had perhaps dis- cussed the matter with newspaper men, but knew little about it. He had never heard of Mr. Dolan until this morning. Certainly he made no remarks attributing evil motives to any senator. Mr. Quay suggested With a broad smile that this newspaper fabrication be referred to the ‘“scandal committee” of which Mr. Gray was chairman and with the easy-going senatorial way, there being no objection be- yond a slight frown on Senator Lindsay's face, it was so referred. The tariff bill was then taken up. The agricultural schednle was completed on Saturday, and today schedule H—spirit wines and other beverages—was under con- sideration. Under an agreement reached just before adjournment on Saturday this schedule was considered under the five-minute rule. Mr. Allison’s amendment to Increase the rate on brandy and other spirits distilled from grain from $1.80 per gallon in the bill 10 $2.50, the present rate, was first taken up. Mr. Sherman and Mr. Allison supported the amendment and Mr. Jones opposed it. The wines and spirits schedule was adopted, practically without change from the compromise plan, and the cotton schedule was taken up. The cotton schedule was completed at 2 o'clock and Senator Dolph protested against the unseemly haste. Flax, jute and hem- lock were taken next. Senator Dolph gave notice of an amend- ment providing for a duty of 40 per cent ad valorem on wool, Including wool on the skin, ofls, waste, flock and rags composed of wool, and also including the hair of the camel, goat or alpaca and other like animals. Tomorrow the woolen schedule will be taken up. Mr. Quay gave notice just before adjournment at 5:50 that he would, when this schedule was reached tomorrow, re- sume the speech he was delivering four months ago. No Quorum In the WASHINGTON, June 11.—There was an alr of languid listlessness apparent in the house today and it was evident the membets were not in working humor. The day was claimed by Mr. Heard, chairman of the com- mittee on the District of Columbia, but while several bills were considered, no action was reached on any of them on account of a lack of a quorum. ase. GEARY'S OPINION OF STANFORD. California Representative Expresses a Very Unfavorable One to a Committee. WASHINGTON, June 11.—Before the house committee on Pacific railroads today Repre- sentative Geary argued strongly that the act creating the Central Pacific road con- templated that the government should take possession if there *was default in payments. Proceedings against indivilual stockholders® estates he considered useless and doubtful of success. Heretofore the company never had been in a position to proceed against dishonest directors, but if the government took pos- session it might reach back to 1862 to re- cover all money diverted through construc- tion companies or otherwise, returning it to the public treasury. “I don't know,” sald Mr. Geary, ““why we should put poor old Coxey, who trod on three or four blades of grass, in jail, and let go another criminal, because of the enormity of his offense, who filches hundreds of mil- lions, and delfy him because in his last mo- ments he erected with his money and the people’s money a university.” “We of California,” Mr. Geary continued, ‘are proud of that university, but ashamed of the motives that built it. We know that it was erected from meanness and rovenge, to destroy another university because of the graduates that refused to make the founder a trustee. Would you wink at the crime through which that institution was crected? No respect for any man, dead or alive, should blind us into leaving monuments to criminals that should be mouuments to the people. ‘Would you have the government control | this railroad or all railroa inquired a member. “This railroad first, all wards,” replied Mr. Geary. Representative McGuire stated he was op- posed to any funding measure providing for an extension of the period for the payment of the Pacific debts. Mr Boatner inquired if Mr. McGuire did not view this as an opportunity to experi- ment in the government control of railroads Mr. McGuire answered that he regarded it as an opportunity to settle the whole rail- road question. He could see no reason why the government should give up the chance of recovering $30,000,000 of the Stanford estate and the Huntington property because the Hopkins and Crocker estates had been settled. The effect of a funding bill would be to postpone foreclosure or proceedings against the stockholders until the expiration of the funding period. Mr. McGuire's prop- osition was that fhe government should se- cure the appointment of a majority of the directors of the Central Pacific, who should fnstitute sults to secure diverted funds. In rallroads after- conclusion he advocated the necessity of legislation to suspend the patenting of Pa- a resolution jointly witk Senator White.

McCord of Wisconsin to purchase various tracts of land within the fndemnity limits of the Bayfield branch of the St. Croix & Lake Superior railroad, now the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolls & Omaba raflroad The land office rejected the application be- cause of prior entries of James and Bernard Rowley, which the department now holds were erroneously allowed.
