- THE _OMAHA DAILY BEE WARNER HAS AN OBJECTION This Oausos the Senate Bill for the Exclusion of Anarchista to Go Over, CONFERRED FAR TOO MUCH POWER MoMillin ana Outes Reply to the Objection Rawed by the New Yorker — Fi Hundred Anarchists Enroute to the United States. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—There was not & quorum present when the house began its session today, but members sought to take up several mecasures by unanimous consent. The senate bill allowing an additional $54,000 for the public bullding at Little Rock, Ark., was passed The senate bill for the exclusion and de- portation of ali'n anarchists was called up Mr. Warner, democrat of New York, objected to the consideration of the bill. “I regret,” he said, “that I must always stand here and protest agalust putting in the hands of administrative officers the enormous power conferred by this bill.”” “Does not the gentleman know,” inter- posed Mr. McMillin, democrat of Tennessee, “that 500 anarchists, whose descriptions are already in the hands of the police, are on their way to these shores”" “The gentleman from New York,” replied Mr. Warner emphatically, “cannot be panic- siricken and he objects to giving to officers the pursuit of a crime not punishable accord- ing to our statutes and to giving them power to deport such persons as they may deem offenders, ““Whenever a word Is used In a statute,” suggested Mr. Oates, democrat of Alabama, “It fs glven the common law inferpretation ““There is no definition of anarchy in com- mon law,” replied Mr. Warner, “and I object to the consideration of this bill. . The senate bill authorizing the secretary of the treasury to allot rooms in the government building at Meridan, Mass., for holding court was passed; also a_resolution to print 20,000 coples of the tariff bill; also on motion of Mr. Haugen, republican of Minnesota, a bill to grant to the Duluth & Winnipeg Railroad company a right of way through the Chippewa and White Earth Indian reservaion, At 1:25 o'clock the house adjourned until 12 o'clock Thursday. MORE ERRORS IN THE BILL, of a Poriod In the Free List Makes ne Schedule Uninte WASHINTGON, Aug. 21.—Additional er- rors in punctuation in the new tariff bill are constantly being discovered by the treasury officials. Today an important mistake was found In section 5 of the frec list. This section provides that articles of foreign man- ufacture must be stamped with the name of the country of origin, and then says: “And until so marked, stamped, branded or labelled they shall not be delivered to the importer should any article of imported merchandise be marked, stamped,” etc., in excoss of the quantity actually contained in such article, ete. It Is assumed that there should have been a period placed between the words “Importer’ and ‘should,” but as there is none the paragraph as it stands is unintelligible and may lead to serious em- barrassments In its execution. Up to this time Secretary Carlisle has not asked any opinion of the attorney general upon the many mistakes {n the bill, and he will probably not do so until after the bill becomes a law. The secretary, however, has expressed tho opinion that all goods now in bond which have been changed from the dutfable to the free list will be subject to the duty in force when imported, if withdrawn for consumption. The goods can, however, bo exported and then reimported, and thi recelve the benefits of the free list. It is known, however, that this was not the In- tention of congress. Barly in the preparation of the bill this question was raised, but the words ‘“or withdrawn for consumption, which appear In the enacting clause, were then deemed to clearly indicate that goods in bond could be withdrawn upon the new rates. But the true significance of the words ‘and mentioned In the schedules Therein contafned,” which follow, do not seem to have been fuily understood Ominsl CONSIDER IT TOO DRASTIC. Tous Members Not Very Well Plensed with Hill's Anti-Anarchist By WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—Some opposition has been made to the bill Introduced by Sen- ator Hill which recently passed the senate to preven! anarchists from coming to the United States. The bill is now in the house, but with the small number of representatives here and the lack of a quorum it Is impossible to pass‘the bill except by unanimous consent, Any two or three men can thus preyent ac- tion at this session. Of course the “bill can g0 over until the next session, but there is considerable desire on the part of the Treas- ury department and other officers of the gov- ernment to have it passed at this session, Fhe objections mado to Senator Hill's bill is hat the provisions made in it for the de- rtation of anarchists aro too drastic. It is claimed that any person adjudged an anarch- st could be deporied under its provisions, even it ho had been in this country for many years. Senator Hill does not think that this claim fs sufficient to cause any trouble, as it s not likely that innocent persons will be made to suffer and that it will be enforced only against those who are very objectionable and whom all society would desire to see re- moved from this country to such countries as they emigrated from. COLORED DEMOCRATS DISAGREE. gue Wants the Con- lonal Bureau Abolished. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2L.—A formal re- quest to abolish the Afro-American bureau of organization of the demccratic congres- sional committee is made in a communica- tlon addressed todsy to Senator Faulkner, chairman of the committee, by H. C. Ast- wood, chalrman of the Negro National Demo- cratic league. Chalrman Astwood, in urg- ing immediate action, says there is nothing to be accomplished by the bureiu, recounts its assessment letters now under investiga- tion by the clvil servica commission and charactorizes its methods as improper. He states the work of the league covers all the noeds of the colored voters of the country, and that though appreclating the recogni- tion of a negro as the head of a bureau of the committee there is no reason for the existence of the bureau. The action is the result of instruction given to President C. H. J. Taylor and Chairman Astwood at the league convention at Indianapolis. Senator Faulkner, chairman of the democratic con- gressional campiign committee, sald today that very good and suficient reasons must be produced before the bureau would be abolished, but that it had no power to col- lect contributions. Jdupanese Were Justified. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—The Japanese legation here received intelligence stating that it has been reported In Tokio on rellable authorily that the finding of the British naval court of inquiry, which was held at Shanghal to Investigate the fact of the sink- ing of the British steamer Kow Shung when otng as a transport for Chinese troops to Corea by the Japanese cruiser Naniwa, s favorable fo Japan. It |s also reported that the British admiral has officially stated to his government that he considers the sinking of the Kow Shung under the cir- cumstances as equivalent to the sinking of a Chineso vessel, and thal he has conses quently advised the British government to mako no claim. White Opposes Freo Silver-Lead Oro. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2L.—In the finance committee of the senate this morning some reference was made to the free lead bill which has recently been reported to the house by the ways and means committee, and it hus suddenly developed that the new mem- ber of the committee, Mr. White, was not in favor of free silver-lead ores, and as“all of the republicans are of the same opinion it has been decided that the senate need not $ako Into consideration the lead bill Mr, White Is & western man from a mining state, and he sympathizes with the other senators In their efforts to have the duty retained on this ore. HARTMAN SILVER IE OLUTIONS. Free Colnage Advocates Delighted with Thelr Tone—-The Signers. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—The resolutions introduced by Represen‘ative Hartman of Montana in the house today for the free coln- age of sliver are regarded by the fres silver advocates as one of the most significant ex- pressions in favor of their doctrine which have been elicited by the agitation of the past year. The resolutions have been con- sidered and adopted during the present ses- sion by the most powerful labor organizations of the country, are strongly worded and are signed by the chlef officers of the various unions. The signers are: J. W. Soverelgn, grand master workman, and John W. Hayes, secretary and treasurer, of the Knights of Labor; Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Marion But- ler, president of the National Farmers Alli- ance; Henry H. Trenor, president, and P. J. McGuire, secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners; P. M. Arthur, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; C. A. Robinson, president of the Farmers Mutual Benefit association; Frank Sargent, grand master workman, and F. W. Arnold, secretary and treasurer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, and John McBride, president of the United Mine Workers of America. Accompanying the resolutions is an address “lo the members of organized labor and all other producers and toilers throughout the United States,” which led to their adoption. The address declares that “in view of the general distress at a time when granaries are full and in the natural order of things pro- ducers and toilers should be enjoying the fruits of thefr labor, it scems that the time has come for united action on the part of those who create the wealth of the country.” se One of the causes which have brought about this condition, the address says, is the departure from the wise bimetallic financial principle of Washington, Jefferson and I ilton and the substitution of the monometallic policy dictated by the Iuropean money holders and their Aemrican allies, A review of financial legislation Is given to show what part was enacted in the in- terest of the producing and what of the non- producing .classes, The proposition is set forth that before the demonetization of silver 3,500 bushels of wheat or 35,000 pounds of cotton equaled the annual pay of a senator or congressman, while foday 10,000 bushels of wheat or 100,000 pounds of cotton barely sufficed; that formerly 35,000 bushels of wheat or 350,000 pounds of cotton would have paid the salary of the president, whilo today he receives the equivalent of 100,000 bushels of wheat or 1,000,000 pounds of cotton, and the same proportion applies to all other fixed salaries and incomes, Demoralization of ‘the food producing sec tions Is said to have caused the manufacturers to lose the markets for their goods, so that hundreds of thousands of workmen have been thrown out of employment and the demone- tization of half of the world's volume of money to make it comparatively easy for capitalists to corner and manipulate the other half. In the review of financial legislation it Is charged that all acts since the civil war have been in the interest of the bond- holders and against the producers, and the Sherman law is sald to have been repealed at the demand of European financiers, al- though a grand fight was made by the peo- ple’s representatives. The resolutions are as follows: We demand of the present congress the immediate return to the money of the con- stitution as established by our fathers, by restoring the free and unlimited coinage of silvar at a ratio of 16 to 1, the colns of both metals to be equally legal tender for all debts, public and private, as before the fraudulent demonetization of siiver in 1873. We also condemn the increase of the na- tional debt in the time of peace and the use of interest-bearing bonds at any time.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—The secretary of the treasury has approved a design for a new $5 silver certificate which has been pre- pared under the direction of Mr. Claude M.

The drouth has been effectually broken by coplous showers in two- thirds of the state, the southwest and south central districts recelving the least amount. Reports show an improvement in the con- dition of corn in flelds where the vitality of the plant has been maintained, and the ears have been formed. A very large portion of the acreage planted has been or will be cut for fodder, and all reports confirm the pre- vious estimate that the total amount of merchantable corn cribbed this year will be about one-third of the average yleld of this state, Pastures are beginning to revive. late sown flax and millet show ment.

In a few localities in the northcentral and southeastern counties, where quite heavy showers occurred, pas- tures are somewhat improved, and in a few of the western counties they are still in fair condition. Potatoes are reported a good crop in a few counties, but the yield gen- erally will be light. Apples are still falling off badly frem the effects of the drouth and scorching sunshine. Many correspond- ents report that no plowing for wheat has been done as yet, the ground being too dry. KANS1S CORN BEYOND HELP, Rains Have Fallen In Many Localities but Have Dono No Good. TOPEKA, Aug. 21L.—The United States weather bureau has fssued the following bulletin: Good rains have fallen in the ex- treme northern counties of the eastern di- vision and in Cloud and Republic, and in the southern part of the middle and eastern divisions, except in Cowley, Chautauqua, and the southern part of Montgomery, while over the rest of the state little or no rain fell. The average daily excess of tempera- ture has been from 4 to 8 degrees, with about a normal amount of sunshine. Pastures and some fields of late corn have been benefited in the localities where rain has fallen, while over the larger part of the state pastures are suffering, the ground is too dry to plow, and corn generally is be- yond help, except in Cherokee, where it is in good condition and promises a full crop. Prafrie hay is about all in the stack, and corn cutting and threshing are in progress over the entire state. Stock water is be- coming very scarce, as the rains were not heavy enough to affect creeks or wells. Late potatoes will generally be a short crop. Apples continue to fall badly. ILLINOIS CORN BENEFITED. Estimate in that State Is Better than it Was a Few Weeks Ago. SPRINGFIELD, Aug. 21.—The Illinols weekly crop bulletin says: In the northern division where rain fell the corn has been benefited and the crops indicate a more en- couraging outlook. In the central division the rains of this and the preceding weeks have been of the greatest benefit to the corn and while in some sections there are many flelds that are permanently injured, it is now thought the yield will be much better than was expected a few weeks ago. The crop In the southern districts is in poor condition, drying up in some sections and much of the early planted corn injured beyond recovery. Corn on bottoms is still in fairly good con- dition. Broom corn Is being harvested with pros- pects of a good yleld of fair quality. i et e LIVELY TIME IN A FOG. Liner Berlin Has a Couple of Nurrow Shaves. NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—When the Amerl- can liner Berlin left Southampton August 11 she found the open sea in placid condition, but when she reached the edge of the New Foundland Banks banks of fog began to gather in the steamship's lane and as they grew more dense the engines were reduced in speed correspondingly. Occasionally the fog opened up a bit and then the Berlin was sent ahead at full tilt. On Wednesday the fog grew so thick that the lookouts had work to see as far as the teamer's bows and almost continually the fog horn was sending out its hoarse warning. In the depth of this gloom the Berlin was speeding along about 10 a. m. when, with- out a preliminary warning, a black shadow Am-rican loomed up directly In her track. Then thera was a shout of warning from the lookouts and almost instantly the black shadow took form in the shape of a deeply laden brigantine heading to the southeast. She wes drifting slowly and for an instant the officer on the Berlin saw no way out of cutting into her broadside. Dut as a matter of instinct he threw the helm hard over until the Berlin's head began to pay off. The hull Hf the brigantine was apparently jummed down also for she luffed up, just crawling from under the tapering bows of the liner. But she was so close, some of the Berlin's passengers say, that her boom scraped along the steamer's side. As the sailing vessel drifted astern her name was mads out to be “Alvo” of Liverpool. When dawn broke Monday the weather was cleared somewhat after the Berlin had left the fog banks, but the fog came on thick again and in patches. The Berlin was going ahead at full speed when a bank of mist would rise before her and then her engines would be run slowly. When she was off Fire Island a fog bank somewhat heavier than the others she had cut through dropped down and shut out everything from sight. The Berlin wss poking in toward the Hook when another black shadow grew up in the mist, this time only & ship's length away. There was no time to sheer off and as the Berlin raced down toward the glocmy specter four tall masts arose through the mist and underneath them a heavy, low- lying hull The vessel was standing diag- onally across the steamer's path and all hands on the bridge could see that it was gOINg to touch. Then there was a jangle of bells and In an Instant the steamer's screw was spinning at full speed astern. Such of the crew as were on deck yelled in panic at the schooner's helmsman, but those aboard the sailing craft were well aware of their peril. They kept going and clea; the steamer's bows by a knife's edge and went bumping and scraping along the side. Ac- cording to pessengers on the Berlin the schooner's chain plates were cut away as if they had been razed with cold chisels. The Berlin ran up close to the vessel and hailed the men on her deck, was the 0. H. Brown, and as her master declined help the Berlin took up her way to the Hook. e Miss Pullman's Betrothal Denied. CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—A relative of Mr. Pullman stopping at his residence was the only representative of the family who could be seen today regarding the possible matri- monial connection of a memben of the family with Prince Isenburg Birstein. This relative denied emphatically that Miss Florence Pullman was engaged to the prince and pronounced the story absolute nonsense Miss Pullman was in Europe, but the rela- tive would say nothing concerning her and the prince except to deny the alleged be- tho | trothal.
