STOOD BY CLEVELAND New York's Senior Senator and the Presi- dent at Last Find Common Ground, CAN AGREE ON FREE RAW MATERIALS Mildly Criticises the President's Position on the Engar Echedule, VEST STRIKES OUT RIGHT AND LEFT Bays He Was a Tariff Reformer Before Oleveland's Public Carcer Commenced WILL BE THE SENATE BILL OR NOTHING ny to Give the Benate Adjourned Until Mo Members an Opportur Their Mental WASHINGTON, July 20.—Today was one of dramatic interest in the s for the fate of the tarift bill of 1894 depended upon the course pursued in the upper branch of congress. The friends of the tariff bill wore anxious faces, and more than once dur- ing the day felt the very danger point had been reached. The enemies of the bill at times believed they would be able to defeat it. When ad- Journment came the situation was still plexing. The proceedings proper were of a peculiar ature in that the de- bate was carried on entirely by the demo- crats, save a brief speech by Senator § man and a questicn by Senator Aldrich The principal speeches of the day were those of Benators Hill and Vest, though others contributed to the interest of the occasion. Senator Hill's position, endorsing the pr dent in emphatic terms, was one of most conspicuous incidents of the day. Senator Vest took occasion to talk in plain terms In defense of the right of the senate and house to 1 without exccutive interference. His criticism of the president’s course and the action of Mr. Wilson was more severe than was ex- pected. He spoke for the finance committee and the position of the senate. The action of Senator Vilas In s speech with a mo elghth differenti nate, si- the anage its conferenc precoding n to strike out the one- 1 on sugar was an additional sensation of a sensaticnal day, from the fact that it was probable the motion would carry. It caused consternation until it was found the motion may be declared out of order. The statements of Senator Smith and Senator Blanchard were important, indi- cating a change In the sugar schedule might mean the loss of their vot Sena- tor Blanchard stated decidedly he would not vote for the bill if this chan S made. Senator Gray's vigorous speoch livened by a brisk colloquy with Hill. The exciting day’s proceedings close with an affirmative motion to adjourn oy until Monday. HELD A WATCH ON THE CHAPLAIN. Senator Blackburn of Kentucky, in a piuk negligee shirt, stcod watch in hand while the chaplain delivered his invocation, look- ing like a judge in the Kentucky derby. The conservative democrats, Mr. Brice in an immaculate suit of white flannel, Mr. Gorman in a sedate sult of blue, and Mr Smith in a long black frock coat, sat grouped together on the democratic side. Mr. Hill, sitting far back, chatted merrily with General Dan Sickles, the one-legged veteran of Gettysburg. Senators Sherman, Aldrich, Alliscn, Hale and Chandler, the leaders on the republican side, appeared amused at the storm which threatened across the political aisle. The preliminary routine business was transacted in a per- functory way. Senator Voorhees, the tall sycamore of the Wabash, chalrman of the finance committee, arose and called up the conference report of the tariff bill. Without a word of explana tion he yielded the floor to Senator Smith of New Jersey, who arose and read a carefully prepared speech. He had hoped, he said, when the bill passed the senate two week ago, that it had been perfected. But th events of the last twenty-four hours had confronted the democratic party with the possibility of the failure of all tariff legis tion at this session. If so, the responsibil ity must be placed where it belonged. He criticised the president for “violating' the principles of his party in attempting to interfore with the prerogotives of the legis Jatlve branch of the government, but de clared he should never be intimidated by threats from the president or the utterances of his party associates at the other end of the capitol who had been so uproariously applauded. He called attention to the differ ences between the situation in the house and the senate, Ho reviewe culminated in the passage of loss of seventeen democratic body. In the senate all is full democratic vote was needed to Dill If it was to be passed as a party meas ure and the members of th: finance commit tee went herolcally to work to harmonize the differences existing in the democratic gide. They had accomplished that purpose to their everlasting credit, be it said. He had been one of those who stood out for con cessions in the interests of his constitu- erts. He made no concealment of his posi tion then and made none ne He proceeded to deliver a glowing eulogy of the tarift bill as it passed the senate, which, unlike the house bill, he declared ecrtained no menace to t Industries of the country and had not been framed by men from sparsely settled districts w knew nothing of the great commercial ¢ tricts of the United States. He asserted that the framers of the hou bill and a large proportion of the demoerati party were not tarift reformers, they w freo traders . DIDN'T GET ALL ASKED. The president, in his letter accepting the renomination, had favored not free but freer raw materials. He proceeded to point out the reductions that the senate bill made on coal, fron and lead ore and detailed at length the reduction on other schedules. Then the #peaker touched on sugar. A majority of elghty-three in the house had enabled that body, he sald, to ride rough shod over the wishes of the representatives of the sugar producing states, and in the face of the president’s protest the chairman of the ways and means committee proposed to place sugar, raw and refined, on the free list In a separate bill He then devoted some time to an exposi- tion of the situation with reference to sugar, raw and refined, contending that the pro. posed reduction in the senate bill was one of the biggest made in any schedule. From statistios obtained at the Treasury depart- ment he maintained the enactment of the senate bill would reduce tari® taxation $174. 000,000, He had voted for the bill with the income tax incorporated with great reluct- ance and with the distinet” understanding that he was not willing to vote for a bill by which a single industry should be stricken down or the resumption of a single industry prevented. sins for his constituents d from the financ was en- Senator the events in the house which a bill with the votes in that changed.

I did ot suppose any person familiar with th character of this body would be misled by a notion so puerile. But It is evident from the attitude of our colleagues in the house that either they don’t believe we meant what we sald or they are willing to Invite the defeat of tarift legislation. If the for- mer, I have only to say they have mistaken thelr men. If the latter, they must answer to the people for the defeat of a bill which should and I believe would satisfy all reason able expectations.’” HILL STANDS UP FOR CLEVELAND, Mr. Hill said: “A theory as well as a con dition now confronts us. The theory democratic party is that in the enactm tariff legislation free raw matreials sh: always be an essential and conspleuous e ment, It is our creed that the materials which enter Into our manufactures should he freed from the burden of tariff taxation. Th best interests of the manufacturers as well as the conswmers of the land command the recognition of this w se d sc im nitio ), We are committed to this side of the question and we cannot retreat and we cannot retract We are honorably bound to redeem our pro- fesions and promises. Justice, good faith and a decent regard for public sentiment, all re- quire this course. Until recently T had suppos was no dispute upon this question of prin- ciple, but that every democrat wa. willing to concedo that if there was one thing more than another to which the democratic party was committed it was the doctrine of ab soluie free raw materials. The true and honest construction cf every democratic na tional platform for twelve years past irre- vocably commits us to this just and rea on- able prin_iple.” Mr. Hill read tform of 1802, and continued o repeal the MeKinley liw in form simply; to re-enact it in effect is Keepng s promise to the letter, but king it in spirit. The platform pointed with pride to and deliberateiy approved the measure free iron ore, free lead ore, free coal frec wool, which were pending in ¢ s at the tine of the convention then he democratic doctrine | plain and clear that he who runs m:y read. If any democratic orator in any part of the coun try, forgetting the intcrests of the whole land and subserving the supposed Interest of a locality, ised the people any state or section that there wc ption made to the enforc general principle of free raw materials when the democrat: should obtain power, he ¢ ed his author.ty and misinterpreted our position. RAW MATERIALS MUST BE FREE “It is said by some in justification of, or in excuse for their present action, that the president’s letter of acceptance in 1892 moli- fled the extreme demands of our platform It is true that some portions of his letter may tend to bear that construction. It was that bold, explicit declaration in favor of the platform which his p had a right to expeet, but was regarded by many as cau tious and conservative, but whether this erit- feism is or Is not we.l founded, the fact re- mains that he had no power or authority to change or alter one line or scntence or provision of the national platform which had been deliberately adopted by the na- tional convention, duly assembied. No pre ident can be above Lis party; no president can dictate to his party; no president can change his party platform, “But no matter what idea it may be claimed was intended to be conveyed in his letter of acceptance, in mitigation or modifi- cation of the platform, there can be no doubt as to the president's pesition at this time upon this essential principle of free raw materials. Let me read from that remarkable lctter of the president’s which was yesterday submitted to the house of representatives. It expresses better than I can hope to do the true, sound and logical position of the democratic party upon this questicn.” After reading extracts from this Mr. Hill continued: “Mr. President prove every word that I have quoted, It is an honest and manly statement of the true attitude which the party should assume in this cris “I am not required to defend the pro- priety or wisdom of the promulgation of this letier at this pecuilar time. It may have been indiscreet, it may operate as a fi brand to spread the flame of discord alread kindled among party friends, honestly diffe ing, as T am disposed to concede, upon ques tions of public and party poll It was a time for diplomacy, statesmanship and con- cillation, rather than reerimination, denun ciation and arralgnment. But aside from the question of its mere expediency, 1 am here to defend the presideni’s letter insofar as 1t demands that the party shall not be led astray info the violation of democratic pledges and principle: NOW IS THE TIME TO YIELD. “Upon the question of free raw materials the president is right and you know it. You cannot answer his arguments. You carnot successfully dispute his proposition rnot doubt his sincerity and patriotism ou must yield in the end to his view You cannot stand up against the sentiment of the great democratic masses of the coun try which will rally around the president in' his contest with you upon this particular ich of the subject The time to yield fs is further humiliation, discord. “Mr. of my colleagues. 1 that there the democratic national letter I ap- now, bofore ther embarrassment and President, having demonstrated that the true democratic theory of revenue reform requires that free raw material should be its distinguishing feature, lot u next inquire what is the condition whicl now confronts us. “The bill which passed the senate violates this democratic principle when it reduc the duty on iron, lead and some other raw materials from those imposed under the Kinley law, and in that resp nendable. It nevertheless duties thereon, and thereby f our pledges. It Is not a question amount of duties which may be question of principle is involved, penny's duty violates our promises and plac us In a false position. As the president well , there can be no compromise on a mat ter of this character, in which an evil prin- clple is at stake. “The house of representatives, fresh from the people, which represents more distinetly and pecullarly than we do the taxing power of the peopie, repudiates our bill and a democratle president has emphasized that repudiation, and the condition which con- fronts us Is one of extreme embarrassment Shall we retreat or advance? Shall we surrender to the house while we can do so honorably or shall we wait until we are driven to 1t? CLEVELAND'S POSITION CLEAR. “In the light of the lotter of the president the house cannot honorably retreat. It has no alternative except to insist upon its bill wheremn it provides for free raw materials. The president cannot approve the senate after what ho ha sald In remarkable letter. arraigns senate and Intimates that the enactment the senate bill means ‘party perfidy and party d'shonor.

The meeting had. not authority to make any rates or take deeisive action of any kind, but it was the opinion of all th iines represented that most of the applica- tlons should be negatived, For some days past the ociation roads have been strug- gling with the problem of whether to make reduced rates b-tween Chicago and Denver r the meeting of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine in the latter city. The reason ad- vanced in the argument for reduction was that the Unlon Pacific has made cheap rates and it behooved all other lines to make sim ilar rates if they did not want the Union ific to take all the husinass. The charge inst the Unfon Pacific was not substan- od in any way and it was decided that it would not do to reduce the rates, partic- ularly as the amountof business will bo so small that it made very fittle difference who carried it.

TALKING OF A SETTLEMENT Strikers in California Ask Debs for Permis- sion to Compromise, TOLD TO USE THEIR OWN JUDGMENT Strike Will Be Ended by Monday - Evening Overland Wil Start Out Today- All Delayed Mails Have Arrived. General Opinfon th SAN FRANCI sied on all sides CO, July, 20.—It Is prophe- that the Southern Pacific strike Is to be settled by Monday mext. It 1s rumored about that negotiations of s me sort are pending between the strike leaders and the railroad officals, but these rumors cannot positively be authenticated. It is simply known that the strikers at Oakland wired to President Debs asking whether they were authorized to negotate with the railroad officials, and that Debs answered, practically instructing the Cali- fornfa unfon to act as they would deem ad- visable, In the face of these stories of ponding negotiations it is a slgnificant fact that the strkers are no longer offering any violent resistance, and that the number of gimrds going out on trains have been greatly reduced. Nothwith tanding these evidences of a desire on the part of both sides for peace, the reflroad officials still Insist that they are running their trains without the least difficulty, and that they need no more men, whle the strikers, on the other hand, declare that the company’s operating de- partment Is :till woefuliy crippled. The rail- road managers, however, though they have been asserting for several days that they are running all trains as usual, have regu- larly annulled several important tralns. To- night, for the first time, the northbound Oregon expross was sent out, and not until tgmorrow night, at least, will the evening bound Overland be restored. At Sacra- mento today 609 men were at work in the shops. Yesterday only 426 men could be induced to return. The Postoffice department has withdrawn the coast mals from the steamships, and has fully restored Its ser- vice on the railrcads. it is claimed, too, that the last of the delayed eastern mail has reached San Franc TRIAL OF THE TRAIN WRECKERS, Boy Who Drove Th Out Sticks to His Damaging Story. WOODLAND, Cal,, July 20.—The prelim- inary examination of the five A. R. U. men charged with murder in connection with the train wreck at the trestle west of Sacra- mento was resumed this morning. Johnny Sherburne, the lad who drove several men to the trestle shortly before the train was wrecked, was recalled for further eross-exami- nation. Though he was kept on the witness stand nearly all of the forenoon, the boy adhiered closely to the damaging testimony that he gave against the prisoners yester- day. The boy added that soon after he had driven back to Sacramento he showed the chief of police and a railroad detective a fuse and a package of giant powder that the men had left in his wagon. The next witness was F. W. Hill, a freight conductor, whose train was tied up at Wash- ington siding, not far from the trestle, on the day of the disaster. He testified he saw the Sherburne boy's wagon in which the de- fendants, Wordon and Hatch, and several others were being driven towards the trestle, He also detailed’ the purport of significant orders which he heard the men giving the boy as the wagon stopped near his train. Harry Teeple, a brakeman on the same train, gave similar testimony. J. D. Graham, a Western Union line r. pairer, testificd that just before the wreck, a8 he w riding along on a railway bicycle, he was halted at the trest'e by two men who threatencd to shoot him. The men smashed his bicycle and ditehed it, and then ordered him to walk back towards Sacra- mento. He walked a little way, then sat down by the roadside and saw the passenger train as it came along run upon the trestle and plunge off into the water. Graham could not identify any of the prisoners as the men he saw at the trestle. EED APPLY. NO A R. U. MEN Pacific Will Not Hereafter E ny Members of that Organizati ST.

If the statutes war- rant it a warrant will be sworn out against Superintendent Jones for blacklisting or dis- criminating against a man because of his connectlon with a labor organization.

At 5 o'clock fifty Hollanders, who have been employed about the works as lumber shovers, track graders and repairers left the works for their homes in Roseland. They had a guar'd of sixteen policemen, com manded by Lieutenant Basset. Scarcely had they come from the works when 100 of the strikers surrounded them.
