CANNOT SEE LIGHT. e of the i —Caucus Possib WASHINGTON, July 21.—There were not many signs of yesterday' about the senate wing of the capitol today.” Senators who put In an appearance at all went about their business as though nothing un- ‘usual had occurred, and all professcd as much ignorance as to the probable outcome of the entanglement as the veriest outsider. There is still great uncertainty in the minds of senators, not only as to the ultimate out- come, but as to the probabie proceed- ings In the immediate future. There are also Qifferences of opinion as to whether a demo- cratic caucus will be calied for the purpose of trying to reach an understanding. There is no doubt that the conservative leaders have discussed among themselves the advisability of such a caucus. They have been together in groups of two, three and four a great deal of time since the adjournment of the senate last night, but they are all reticent as to the tenor of their talk among them- selves, or as to their plans for the future.

One of the so-called conservative senators sald today that he thought it probable a caucus would be held Monday morning It 18 stated here is a plan on foot for the repeal of the present sugar bounty by an In- dependent measure, in case the differential duty on refined sugar should be stricken out the tariff bill, and the tariff bill then de- ated In consequence of this action. The conferees on the tarift bill are not only required to meet dissensions in their own ranks, but it appears are also com- pelled to receive threats of personal violence from persons on the outside. These threats have so far all by mall and are generally anonymous, Senator Jones says he has reccived at least a_dosen letters of this character of which the following is a fair sample. NEW YORK, July slonal Committee on Tarift It you pas the bill with don't forget to order your coffing you will need them all of you as son as you in washington A DEMOKRAT, o help You God. Most of the letters bear evidence on their face of the flliteracy of their authors and in- dicate very plainly that they are irresponsi- ble cranks. The members of the committee pay no attention to the letters rule and generally consign them to waste basket without loss of time. There has been a persistent rumor about the capitol today that the conservative dem- ocratic senators have been in conferen and that they adopted a plan under which steps were to be taken to defeat the tariff bill, if, by 5 o'clock Monday, the scnate did" not definitely instruct the tariff con- ference to stand by the senate bill. Senator Brice, who Is regarded as the fer of this element, pronounc:d the story as without foundation. He said it was true, however, that the conservatives had been a great deal together, and that they understood one another perfectly. He sald, furthermore, that so far as he was concerned he had decided to support Mr. Vilas in his cifort to have the sugar differ- ential stricken out of the bill, and added that as the sugar schedule was a measure he saw no reason why the administration should not have its own way now. He added that if insistence upon this course should result in the defeat of the bill, as he thought it might, the conservative democrats would not be responsible for that result. It does not now appear that there is any prospect of an early democratic caucus in the senate. Senator Gorman 8 there will be no democratic caucus botween this and the time of assembling Monday. The republican advisory committee of the senate held a meeting today for the pur- pose of an exchange of views upon the pr ent situation in the simate with regard the tarilf. The opinion was generaily ex- pressed among senators present that the democratic situation was very delicate, and it is understood that a dcision was reached that it would not be improved from a re- publican standpoint by the interference of republican_ senators; hence they will advise members of their party to allow the demo- cratic senators to continue to do the greater part of the talking in the senate on the subject of the tariff so long as they will do so. It Is understood that the committee discussed the attitude of the republicans who were opposed to the differential sugar duty and concluded to advise that the re- publican senators would vots solidly to strike it out, if they should have the oppor- tunity to do s the Bill the Income tax To Congres- as a the to - \ ATCHISON FIGURES WERE JUGGLED, ert Little Mak Startling Annonnce- ats to Reorganization Committee, NEW YORK, July 21.—The World will say tomorrow: The meeting of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe reorganiza- tion committee Friday developed an astound- ing surprise. It had been expected that Expert Little would make his financial re- port, which would about agree with the committee's estimates, and the reorganiza- tion plan could be put forth complete In every detail. Mr. Little, however, did not make his report. Instead he sald that while ex- amining the books he found evidence of figure-jugeling in the matter of rebates to freight shippers. The amount was very large, and instead of being charged to the proper’ expense account, had been shifted to other channels, so the statements of income and earnings were incorrect. An explanation was immediately demanded and the fact elicited that two sets of books were kept, one in the west and one in the east. Mr. Little had evidently examined the west- ern books. Where it was necessary the changes were properly made on the eastern books, on which public statements were based. Upon receiving this reply Mr. Lit- tlo was ordered to look into the eastern books. He has lightly ran over them and late last cvening the following statement s made by Secretary Kobbe of the reor- galzation committee: The secretary of the Atchison reorganiza- tion committee makes the following state- ment in behalf of the committee: Mr. Little has returned; he has had every opportunity to examine the books of the company and of the receivers. He has not been able to complete his report, but he states that during the period from July, 1889, the date of the last reorganization, to December, 1893, the date of the appointment of the receivers, the income of the company has, in his opinion, been overestimated in an aggregate amount- ing to about $7,000,000. He finds the ac- counts of the receivers have in all respects been accurately staated. Ho expects to make a detailed report to the committee Tuosday afternoon as to his examination of the western books, and mean- while is examining the castern books. DOING A WIIOL, 1LE BUS.

MUST LOOK OUT FOR OBJECTIONAELES gressmen Think the Undesirable Class Can He Easier Dotected on the Other Side of the Water than in This Country. AU OF THE B Stre N. W, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 21, The congressional authorities on emigra- tlon laws are much exercised over the pass- age of Repres Willlam A, Stone's immigration bill in the house yesterday, while most of the members were watching the exciting scenes in the senate. The Stone bill Is far reaching In its effect on the sys- tem of inspecting immigrants, as the entire inspection is transferred to foreign ports and placed in the hands of United States consuls instead of waiting for the inspection at New York and other ports when the immigrants arrive in this country. “I expect to see the bill taken up by the senate at an early day and passed,” sald Mr. Stone, “and already several senators who recognize the evils of immigration have signified their purpose to urge it to a specdy passage. The present immigration law has proved a failure. Immigrants keep coming without reference to the restrictions. The system is wrong, as it leaves the im- migrant to furnish all the information on which he s roceived or rejected.” “No,” said he, in reply to a question, florts have been made to so change the bill as to let the Treasury department appoint the foreign inspectors. Such a change wculd necessitate the creating of a large force of officeholders, But as the bill stands the United States consuls, who are not over- burdened with work, will have charge of the inspection.” It is understood that Senators Davis, Chandler and Quay will particularly interest themselves in the Stone bill with a view to its early adoption. MEIKLEJOHN TALKS OF HIS BILL. Representative Meiklejohn, speaking in re- rd to his bill providing. a tax of $100 on cach alien immigrant, said today: *When the population of this nation increases by more than 500,000 of foreign immigrants an- nually, the limitation of foreign immigration hus become a question of national impor. Wo have developed our natural re sources and sustained the standard of American wages through the levying of a duty on manufactures of foreign labor. “Wages are subject to the law of supply and demand and wage earners are as much interested in preserving our field of labor for the American wage worker as in the protection of the products of his labor from the competition of the foreign manufacturer. The policy of placing a duty on importations of the product of foreign workmen at a rate sufticient to equalize the difference between our domestic and foreign cost of labor has cstablished an incomparable scale of wages in this nation for our wage earners and which, in my judgment, can only be main- tained by extending the same beneficent policy to the immigration of foreign laborers, “The bill which I have proposed exempts all relatives of any American citizen or any person who has declared his intention to WASHINGTON BUR 14 become such, who may desire to immigrate to the United States, while a duty of $100 per capita is levied upon all other alien immi- grants. Every citizen, whether native or foreign born, is alike interested in keeping from our shores the class of immigration which this measure would prohibit. GORMAN HOLDS THE KEY. The cause of the alleged revenue reform scems to entirely rest in the hollow of the hand of the senior senatar from Maryland. Arthur Pue Gorman has been a politician all his life, They used to put politics in his milk when he was pulling along on a bottle. At the time when he wore long clothes and howled at night for his father to rock him, or walk with him, he was studying politics; studying how to make his gray-haired father profane. He succeeded. When he was a youth he studied how to get an appointment as a page in the senate, and he succceded In early manhood he studied how to get from a pageship to a scnatorship, and he suc- ceeded. In 1884 he schemed to get the presi- dency for Cleveland, after Blaine had been clected, and he succeeded. In 1888 he schemed how to elect Hill to the governor- ship of New York, and defeat Cleveland, who had oftended him, for the presidency, and he succeeded. In 1892 he participated in a national campaign which succeeded in elect- ing Mr. Cleveland a second time to the presi- dency. In 1894 he undertook to usurp the constitutional functions of the house of rep- resentatives in the formation of a revenue bill; and he succeeded. This lconoclastic legislative Warwick s as smooth externally as he fs internally. He is always clean-shaven, and his hair is parted and patted by a perfect artist. His smile is an alabaster poem. His intellectual machinery works with the smoothness and perfection of a Corliss engine. He is such a man as Cassius was, of whom Julius Caesar sald: “Such men are dangerous.” He could walk across a floor thickly strewn with eggs without cracking a single shell. . But, if by accident, a calcareous covering should crack, suspicion would be diverted from Gorman and rest upon Vest or some other aggres- sive fellow who never touched an egg in his life. It was Gorman who manipulated the entire revenue bill; but Sugar trust suspi- cion was directed toward any other senator than himself. At the present time, how- ever, everybody knows that Arthur Pue Gor- man’ s the manipulator of the senagambian in the woodpile. He is the master marplot of his party, and has been for more than a decade. There will be no revenue bill, save such as pleases Gorman. That tells the whole story. CAREY MAY GET PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Senator Carey of Wyoming today secured the insertion of a clause in the sundry civil appropriation bill making provision for the purchase of sites and the erection of public buildings in Cheyenne, Helena and Hoise City. Under ordinary circumstances cvery appropriation bill making provision for public building must stand upon its own merits and cannot be inserted in any of the at national appropriation bills. A pre- cedent was established several years ago, however, by the venerable octogenarian Sena. tor Morrill of Vermont, who secured an ap- propriation for a public building at Mont- pelier, the capital of his state, in the sundry civil appropriation bill. This precedent was taken advantage of afterwards by Senator Cockrell of Missourl, who secured an appro- priation in a similar manner for a public building at Jeferson City, the capitol of the state of Missouri. Senator Carey of Wyoming having ascertained these facts made use of them before the committes on ap- propriations and was reinforced in his argu- ments by the senators from Idaho and Mon- tana. So urgent and persistent were the de- mands of th senators that the senate com. mittee on appropriations ylelded to their im- portunities and incorporated the clause i the sundry civil appropriation bill for the pur pose of giving public buildings to the capitals of Wyoming, Montana and ldaho. Senator Carey also today secured an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill which provides that the governor of a state having public lands may call on the surveyor general to make surveys of town- ships In which the state desires to make selections for its land grants, In case there is no money remaluing unexpended in the appropriation for public surveys, then the state may advance the money, and the United States shall reimburse the state by an appropriation of woney for that purpose at the next session of congress, HARD LI FOR BANK EMBEZZLERS.

WASHINGTON, July 21.—The senate sugar investigating commiit{ee resumed its work to- day in the old tiffle ‘thanner. Only Senators Gray, Lindsay and 'Dhvie of the committee were present, but they had several witnesses before them, and announced a determination to proceed with the work so long as there was any possibility of securing witnesses who would furnish any testimony. The most important witness of the day was Henry Rood, the New York Herald re- porter, who wrote the articles in that paper upon which the present branch of the in- auiry is based. Mr. Rood was examined at length as to the source of his information, and speclal effort was made by the mem- bers to get the best information at Mr. Rood's command as to his statements that United States senators had been speculating in Sugar stock since the tariff bill was taken up in the senate, despite their denfals. It is understood that Mr. Rood responded to this request as fully as he was able to do and expressed a willingness to ald the committee to the extent of his ability. It was impossible to secure the details of the testimony. When Senator Gray was asked for a statement as to the proceed- ings he replied that he could say nothing, and that it wae the intention ofi the com- mittee not to give out any Information as to the testimony until the present branch of the inquiry was completed. The reason given for taking this position Is. that the publication of the facts elicited would in- terfere with the plans of the committee and would prevent as complete an inquiry as they desire to make. Today's wit- nes:es, therefore, were all warned that they were on the same plane as witnesses before a grand jury, and warned against di- vulging the proceedings to any one. Other witnesses of the day were W. Wheeler, a New York broker, and A. Seip of this city. Mr Wheeler stated to the committee that ho had never placed any orders for senators for Sugar stock and was unable to give any information. Mr. Seip has been representsd In the newspapers as caying that he had come into ession of knowledge of the fact that a certain senator had placed orders for Sigar stocks during the spring and to have staied that it was placed with a man then rcpre- senting the firm of Seymour, Young & Co., New York brokers. B. M. CURBING RE ' PO WERS. Recelvers A nted by United States Courts Must Pay State Taxes. WASHINGTON, July 21.—The house has passed without opposition the bill from the Judiciary committee fixing the status of state and municipal taxation on property in the hands of receivers appointed by United States courts. The bill provides that taxes heretofore or hereafter assessed by state, county or municipal authority against any corporations or corporate property shall not be classed as debts to be passed upon in the first instance by any. court of the United States, but shall be collectible in the first instance by the proper, authorities, according to the assessment, whether the corporation is in the hands of a receiver or mot, and no judge or court of the United Stafes shall have any other authority to enjoin, restrain or interefere with the, collection than if no receivership existed, and the seizure as well as the sale of property, for taxes shall divest the receiver and, gourt of control. It pro- vides that property seized for taxes and not s0ld shall be returned to the receiver, and that the corporatjon qr receiver shall have the right of a citizen to apply for the abate- ment of a tax or sué, or defend against an improper assessment fn courts having juris- diction. This bill, if it becomes a law, will settle some of the digputes in South Caro- lina between the state and federal authorities concerning the taxatfon of raflroad property now in the custddy’of federal courts. The most important faifroads in this state are managed by receivers appointed by United States judges. Two years ago, acting on the advice “of judges, the railroads refused to pay the full amount of taxes levied by the state commissioners, holding the appraisal of the property to be excessive, but tendered the amounts which the judges held to be fair. Three state constables, who attempted to enforce the collection ordered by the state board, were fined $500 each for contempt of court. The state paid their fines, and re- cently the house judiciary committee reported a bill to refund” the amount, $1,500, to the state. Governor Tillman came to Washington and addressed the judiciary committee in favor of that bill and advocated a measure of the effect of the one passed. The bill was reported by a strictly party vote, but passed without opposition. BY DIRECT VOTE OF THE PEOPLE. House Resolves on a Change In the Electlon of Senators, ‘WASHINGTON, July 21.—There was a very slim attendance of members when the speaker called the house to order today. Mr. Bowers demanded the regular order, which was the resolution proposing an amendment to_ the constitution providing that senators shall be elected by direct vote of the people. Although a two-thirds vote is required for measures amending the constitution, the pending resolution was passed, 137 to 49— thirteen votes to spare. The announcement of the result was re- celved with democratic applause. The house disagreed to the senate amend- ments on the Indian appropriation bill, and Messrs. Holman, Allen and Wilson of Wash- ington were appointed confere The bill to repay to West Virginia the di- reet tax levied by the act of August 5, 1861, and the bill for the reinstatement of clerks dismissed from the railway mail service between March 15 and May 1, 1891, was taken up. Under the special order adopted for the bill the previous question was to be ordered at 4 o'clock. The bill provides that the postmaster general may reinstate without examination or certification by the eivil service commission any person who was dls- missed from the rallway service between March 15 and May 1, 1591, or who was dis- missed from the service after the last named date upon any order made prior thereto. Mr. Bynum, democrat, of Indlana spoke in favor of the bill. Tho bill failed to pass on unt of the lack of a quorum, and at 56 the house adjourned. 1IN THE STORE ROOM. of the Fire in Fort Pulaski In the Harbor of Savannah. WASHINGTON, July 21.—An official re- port upon the explosion at Fort Pulaski, Ga., has come to the War department in the shape of a telegram,from Captain O. M. Carter, engineer corps, dated yesterday. “Ordnance sergeant at Fort lighted a match in the store room this morning, causing an explosion of am- munition and setting fire to stores. Hope to save the powder magazine. The sergeant will probably not recover.” Officials at the deparment are congratulat- Ing themselves on the escape from severe lo8s, as about thisty. tons of powder were stored in the magazine. The secretury speaks in high .terms of the conduct of Captain Carter, who descended into the burning rooms amid bursting cartridges and shells and at the risk of his life directed the operations of the men who were trying o put out the fire and carry off the powder to a place of safety.
