(& * THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1896. LITTLE PROGRESS [N LEGISLATION, Appropriation Bills Yet Occupy the Attention of Congress. MUCH TALK, NO ACTION. Gear Preparing the Majority Report on the Debts of Pacific Railroads. MINORITY VIEWS WITHHELD. In the House Questions of Deficiency in the Revenues Are Con. sidered. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20.—No actual progress in the work of legislation was made in the Senate to-day. The reso- lution for an investigation into recent bond issues came to the surface on two or three occasions, but Hill of New York was not inclined to yield an inch of the right of the Senate to a tull debate on the reso- lution or to indicate any time when a vote migkt be reached; and on the other hand the chairman and members of the Com- mittee on Appropriations insisted on the importance of getting along with the great appropriation bills, Finally Peffer con- sented reluctantly to have that resolution laid aside temporarily until the appropria- tion bills now before the Senate are passed. It is still the unfinished business, however, and as such will be entitled to a formal presentation to the Senate at 2 o’clock every day. The Indian appropriation bill was under consideration the whole day, but did not advance a single step. The paragraph on the subject of the Indian schools was passed over informally on account of the ubsence of Carter of Montana, who had offered an amendment to strike out the House provisions on that subject and then the Senate got into a tangle on an amend- ment reported by the Committee on Ap- propriations for the payment of the fees of some fifteen attorneys for legal services characterized as “lobbying” rendered to the “‘cld seitlers or Western Cherokees.” There was a good deal of a controversy on this subject in which Chandler of New Hampshire took a leading part. The mat- ter had not been brought to an issue when the bill was laid aside for the day. Notice was given by Vilas of Wisconsin that on Wednesday, the 29th of April, he would present to the Senate a communica- tion from the Governor of Wisconsin | offering to Congress the statue of Pere | Marquette. Pugh (D.) of Alabama presented on the part of his colleague, Morgan, absent on account of illness, a minority report on the Pacific Railroad debt bill. Wolcott (R.) of Colorado, a member of the Pacific Railroad Committee, said the bill reported by Gear on Friday last was | not the unanimous report of the com- | mittee. He had not agreed and did not | agree with the rest of the commirtee as to | 80 much of the bill as related to the settle- ment with the Union Pacific and had reserved the right to file a minority report. | The report filed on behalf of Morgan | represented that Senator’s views and he (Wolcott) would also file a minority | report. Brice (D.) of Onio, another member of the committee, said that the chairman (Gear) was now revising the majority report, which had not yet been presented. In view of that statement the two minority | reports were withheld. The Senate at4:15 adjourned until to-morrow. S R GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL. It Caused a Prolonged Debate in the House. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20.—Atter passing a few private bills the House spent the remainder of the session to-day in the i cousideration of the general deficiency bill—the general appropriation bills, A prolonged debate was occasioned by the paragraph appropriating $850,000 to sup- ply a deficiency in the collection of the customs revenues. The action of the Sec- retary of the Treasuryin increasing the customs force at New York was criticized by Hepburn (R.) of Iowa. This increase was due, according to Dingley (R.) of Maine, to the change from specific toad valorem duties made by the Wilson- Gorman act. A general comparison of the tariff laws of 1890 and 1894, both as to the revenue produced by them and the cost of collecting the same, and a comparison of the appropriations of the past four Con- gresses, made a lively debate which lasted nearly three hours. The committee con- sluded consideration of the birl without material amendment, and it was passed by the House. At 6:05o'clock the House adjourned. APPROVED BY CLEVELAND. Acts of Congress That the President Favors. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20.—The President has approved acts granting pen- sions to Major-General John M. Thayer, United States Volunteers; Miss Mary E.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20.—Ex- Consul J. L. Waller paid his first visit to ihe State Department this morning since bis turn to America. He did not see Sec- lary Olney, but had a talk with Assistant Becretary Adee about his claim for dam- sges on account of the treatment alleged io have been given him while en route to Marseilles as a prisoner of war. He also saw Chief Chiiton of thé Consular Burean 1bout the unsettled condition of his con- sular accounts. Mr. Waller thinks he is entitled to indemnity for the confiscation of his rubber concession by the French | Government, but it is not likely that the State Department will- give him any as. sistance in. this maitter, because of the waiver given by this Government to secure Waller's release. CAREY AR LAND ACOT. Report of the House Committee Agreeing to Amend It. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20.—The House Commitiee on Irrigation and Lands has agreed to report favorably a bill amending the Carey arid land act. One amendment provides that all arid lands which will not successfully produce ordi- nary crops without irrigation, shall be considered as ‘‘desert lands,” The time within which States and Territories are permitted to reclaim and occupy desert lands is limited to ten years from segrega- tion. After the segregation of arid land shall have been made by the Secretary of the In- terior, a map is to be filed and the lands certified to the State or Territory, as desert lands, and certificates of tne Secretary of the Interior to be final. The committee regards this as an imror:an: change, as it shuts out the possibility of future contest and gives a guarantee to those who invest in construction of irrizating works.

LOUIS, Mo., April 20.—Adrian C. Anson is about to retire from the diamond. At least he 50 informed Frank Pears, the star twirler of the Detroit Western League Club last night. Anson broached the sub- ject of his retirement while the two were talking. He said that he had definitely deciaed to withdraw from active service on the ball field, and that as long as Decker played first base with credit to the team and to himself he would not again sup- plant him, Pears said that Anson gave as his rea- son for retiring that he felt that he lacked & good deal of the suppleness and vim necessary to play his position properly, and that he had been criticised so severely for remgining on the diamond that he feit it was better for the club to give some younger man an opportunity. He said that so much had been writtén and said about bis play at first that he thought the work of theclub as a whole would be bene- fited by his retirement, as the players themselves might have become imbued with the idea tbat his pPesence at first base was hurtful rather than helpful. He had deiermined, therefore, to give Decker a more thorough trial on the base than he did last season, and if that player demonstrated sufficient ability he (Anson) would not play again. St gt FOUGHT TWENTY ROUNDS. Stout of Omaha Gets the Deolsion Over Daly of Bangor. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., April 20.—The twenty-round go this afternoon between Danny Daly of Banger, Me., and George Stout of Omaha was one of tie best events ever seen here, and attracted a crowd of 3000 spectators. Preliminary to the cen- tral attraction on the programme Kid O’Brien of Omaha and Jack Eckhart of Streator, Iil., put up a lively four rounds, the decision going to Eckbart. Auother good event was be%ween'tbe Terrible Swede of California and Kid Lewis of Philadel- phia, Lewis winning. The stars fought twenty rounds, all of which were lively throughout. In the last round Stout dislocated Daly’s arm with an uppercut, and the decision was given to the Omaha ma: oo USRS Plumbers on a Sivikes CHICAGO. Inn., April 20.—All of the plumbers employed by the various beer- pump houses in the city went on strike this morning. Seven firms and two brew- ing companies are affected. The object of the strike is to compel the beer-pump firms to employ none but union men, pay . $3 75 per day in wages and sign the agree- ment made by the Master Plumbers’ Asso- ciation and the Plumbers’ Union. NO EIGHT-HOUR STRIKES. New York Employers Are All Granting the Demands Made by Organized Labor. NEW YORK, N. Y. April 20.—New York, it is now believed, will be practic- ally free from the big eight-hour strikes which are agitating the country, on May 1. 1t has so happened that New York, which has taken the lead in the eight- hour movement, has secured the eight- hourday quietly in nearly all building trades. Many other trades have also se- cured eight hours without a strike, and thus this city on May 1 will be a favored spot. President Gompers of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor will return to the city to-day. President Harris of the Cigar-makers’ Union, No. 144, who is also president of the State branch of the federation, said yesterday : ‘*As it looks now there will be few if any eight-hour strikes in New York. The strikes will be in the outside towns. Most of the members of the Brotherhood of Carpenters—the trade selected by the fed- eration {o make the eight-hour strugele this year—have already the eight-hour workday. Many other trades which have secured the eight-hour workday in New York will have to strike for it in other cities. “Itis generally recognized that the dis- placement of the men by machinery can be best met by shortening the working day. This rule has been lived up to better in New York than any other city. Othes trades which have secured eight hours will have celebrations on or about May 1. They will chiefly take the form of indoor mass-meetings. “‘When the strikes are started on May 1 a national eight hour association will be formed. It will embraceall trades making the demand, as weil as the trades in this city which have gained the demand. Eight-hour strikes next year will be under the auspices and have the assistance and co-operation of this National eight-hour association.” AMONG THE RAILROADS, No Agreement Reached Regard- ing Party Rates West of the Missouri. Restrictions on Summer Tourist Tickets to Shut Out the Scaipers. CHICAGO, Irc., April 20.—The repre. sentatives of the trans-Missouri railroads returned from the Denver meeting, which did not accomplish all that was set before it. No agreement was reached as to party rates west of the Missouri and readjust- ment of the Missouri River-Colorado rate trouble was left open. These two matters will be taken up at a speoial meeting to be held here next Thursday. It was decided to take out the round-trip rate irom Kansas City to Glenwood 8prings, which has been badly scalped in Denver. It was found necessary, on account of :manipulation by the brokers, to use the joint agency and deposit restriction hereafter on all summer tourist tickets from the Missouri River to Colerado common points. Offices will be established in “Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Denver. Articles of incorporation of the Chicago, Hammeond and Western Railroad were filed to-day with the Secretary of State at Springfield. It is proposed to build a road %rnm Blue Island, T1l., to a point in Dupage County, to connect with the Chi- cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road. The capital stock is $1,500,000. n future the Union Pacific officials will keep clear of brokers and secret cut rates, the legal department having ruled since the Supreme Court’s decision in the Brown case that a road in the hands of a court must confine itself to meeting the secret cut rates of competitors when discovered with opposition tariffs wherever made. The passenger department has been ac- cordingly instructed. —_——— GO0OD LUCK OF A BARBER. Henry Schroeder the Heir to a Vast Estate. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., April 20.— Henry Schroeder is the village barber in the little borough of South River, six miles from here. Before he was the barber he ‘was the Postmaster, and he lost the office for offensive partisanship. Now he has determined to give up his shop and take possession of a fortune to which he be- lieves he is the heir. Some time ago he saw an advertisement in a German paper for the heirs to the fortune of Teresa Titiens, the famous singer. She left an estate now valued at $5,000,000, all of which he tuinks he is entitled to. Titiens sang in this country in 1875. She died in 1877." She left the greater part of her wealth to her nephew, Peter Titiens, or Titjens, but the wiil was contested, an the legal controversy which followed dragged along many years. Meanwhile the nephew died. Schroeder’s mother was a first cousin of the singer. Having gath- ered together what proofs he had he sent them to the attorney mentioned in the advertisement, and a few days ago re- ceived word that his claim wasthe best, and that it would be to his advantage to come to Hamburg, He is about 58 years of age.

LINCOLN, Ngsr., April 20.—Governor Holcomb announced to-day that he would on next Thursday begin an investigation of the charges filed against Super: ent Mackay of the hospital for the insane at Norwalk.

CHICAGO, ILL., April 20.—At the Meth- odists’ meeting to-day a letter was read by Rey. John Lee, who is in charge of the movement to secure State recognition of Prowestant marriages in certain_ South American countries, from the Ecuador Consul-General in the United States on the subject. He informs the ministers that he'is sorry to say the Ecuadorian Press has only begun to refer to the azita- tion in this country and that the Govern- ment had not decided on anything yet. He hopes the next National convention will take up the matter. SR Must Pay the Death Penalty. OHICAGO, Irv, April 20.—Joseph Windratn was found guilty to-night by a jury of the murder of Carey B. Birch, the street railway cashier, and his punish- ment fixed at death. The jury was unani- mously for the death penalty.

DECLARES FOR BLAND. Says People Are Tired of Gold Bugs and Straddle Bugs and Plutecrats. JELLY FISHES ARE NOT WANTED If Issues- Are Not Squarely Met at Chicago, Defeat for the Party 5 Is Certain. 8T. LOUIS, Mo., April 20.—Senator Ben- jamin R. Tilman of South Carolina ar- rived here this morning. At noon he vis- ited the Merchants’ Exohange and made a brief address. To-nizht the Senator spoke for two hours at the Exposition building on “The New Pending Crisis.” In an interview to-day he said: “If the Chicago convention does not de- clare for free silver I shall walk out, and I think all the delegates from my State will do the same thing. The peopie are tired of gold bugs and straadle bugs, and they are not going to be dictated to any more by the plutocrats of Wall street. “If Mr. Bland is nominated I will cer- tainly support him. I will tryto get the South Carolina delegation for him. We want no jeily fishes. We want men who are for silver and who will stand by us. If we go to Chicago and secure a declaration for 16 to 1 and then nominate a straddle bug, it will simply be to hang out an em- blem of defeat. ““For all the loss we would sustain by the defection of gold bugs we would gain more by additions from free silver Republicans and the Populists. The time has come for a new alignment and we want it made right now.” ¢ I SECNEL AITITUDE OF THE A. P. A. MoKinley Not Opposed by the Order for Personal Reasons. CINCINNATI, Onro, April 20.—Judge J. H. D. Stevens, chairman of the National advisory committee of the A. P. A.,isin Cincinnati, and it is said held a confer- ence with the Ohio members of the orzan- ization to-dav. He has sent the following statement to The United Press: So many canards and malicious false- houds have been circulated by opponents of the A. P. A. regarding its attitude toward the political parties, the candidates of each for the office of President of the United States and the platforms to be formulated at the respective National con- ventions, that the National advisory board of the A. P, A., through the execu- tive committee and the campaign com- mittee of the executive body, respectfully requests the press to publish in the inter- ests of fairness the following statement of facts: First—The contest which this organiza- tion is making against the candidacy of William McKinley is not directed against Mr. McKinley as a person, because the members of the advisory board have no grievance against Mr. McKinley as a man, but fight him and will continue to fight him at the convention and at the polls be- cause his public record is not consistent with our standard of official character, and the basis of our action will be set forth in incontrovertible form at the prover time; and further, regarding the various state- ments appearing in the newspavers for the past week relative to the attitude of the A. P. A, toward the candidacy of Governor William McKinley for the Republican nomination at St. Louis, one of the Ohio State officials of the order said to-day: “Most of the charges in relation to Governor McKinley’s * antipathy to the A. P. A. in Ohio while he was Governor and his persistent disregard for or refusal to comply with the express de- sires of the organization are matters that are well known and will be substantiated by indisputable evidence in due time, as well as the fact that he while Governor almost invariably gave preference in his appointments to known enemies of the order. The evidence of this is now being quietly gathered, and while care will be taken not to do him any injustice enough has been already obtained to warrant me in saying that the evidence will show Gov- ernor McKinley to have in the past pursued such a course that no member of the A. P. A. or kindred patriotic orders can sup- port him and be true to their principles. Second—That we make no fight against any man because of his religion, and it makes no difference to what religious be- lief Mr. McKinley or any other candi- date holds allegiance, and that we are not opposing McKinley in the personal inter- est of any other candidate. Third—That we made every effort, con- sistent with our manhood and our dignity as members of an organization of 4,000,000 voters, to reach Mr. McKinley, but with- out success. Fourth — That Congressman Gros- venor’s statement that he did not refuse to see the committee; that he did not virtually insult the committee in the language of his refusal to meet it after re- quests made both by Sergeant-at-Arms Russell of Missouri and Congressman W. 8. Linton; that the statements to the con- trary are untrue; that Congressman Groe- venor treated the committee in precisely the manner as described by the committee in the statement to which Mr. Grosvenor 50 abusively makes reply. Fifth — That all statements regarding Congressman Linton’s withdrawal from the Presidential contest were sent out in the interest of certain Presidential candi- dates; that all such statements were un- authorized, and circulated by the op- ponents of this organization to defeat its aims. Sixth—That Mr. Linton is not a candi- date for President in any sense; that he is making a personal effort in such direction, or that he is directing any such move- ment. On the contrary, the movement in bis behalf was a spontaneous movement, having its birth in the love which the or- ganization bears the man who has so bravely stood squarely upon the princi- ples of this organization. Mr. Linton is one of the acknowledged leaders of the or- garization and is and will be at St. Louis our candidate for President, and as such we koow him to be t00 good an American to refuse to do what the patriotic citizens of this country request of him.; While the movement, to honor' ‘<him flld not find, directly or indirectly, its initiative with him, yet the organization should pay no attention to the pressdispatches denying the candidacy of Mr. Linton, as they are sent out in the interests of certain Presidential candidates and to confuse the membersof the A. P. A. and to harmonize its actions. For this reason thecampaign and propaganda com- mittee has embodied and will embody all public statements regarding every achof it in the form of special circulars; all public statements not signed by the chairman or the members of the committee, or in the form of an interview with them, the or- ganization should consider to be unauthor- ized or lies made out of whole cloth.

American Protective Association Eepub- ticans Declars for McKinley. RIVERSIDE, Carn., April 20.—The Re- publican County Convention met to-day to elect delegates to the Congressional and State conventions, to be held at Sacra- mento next month.
