2 THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1896. —_— e e SUGGESTIVE OF CLOSING DAYS, Conference Reports Received and Acted On in the Senate. THAT DEEP-SEA HARBOR No Agreement Yet Reached in Reference to San Pedro and Santa Monica. BUTLER'S BCND RESOLUTION It Causes an Exchange of Sharp Language Between Allen and Hill. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, May 21.—In some respects the proceedings in the Sen- ate to-day were suggestive of the closing days of a session. Conference reports were being considered and acted upondur- ing most of the day. First came the river and haroor bill, and after a short discus- sion the report was formally disagreed to in order to have an item regarding Bruns- wick harbor, Ga., restored to the bill. Later in the day the report was again pre- sented with the Brunswick matter ar- ranged satisfactorily, but with the items as to the deep-sea harbor in Southern Cal- ifornia still undisposed of in conference. ‘The report was agreed to as far as it went | and a new conference was ordered on the Ban Pedro and Santa Monica question. Frye (R.) of Maine occupied the chair to-day as chairman pro tem. The conference report on the river and harbor bill was taken up, all the questions between the two honses being settled in conference, except the controversy be- tween San Pedro and Santa Monica for the deep-sea harbor in Southern California aud the harbor at Wilmington, Cal., on which disagreements were reported. Bacon (D.) of Georgia opposed the adop- tion of the conference report unless the item as to the harbor at Brunswick, Ga., was restored to the bill. The conference report was thereupon formally disagreed to and a further conference ordered. The conference report on the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation biil was taken up for consideration. It was opposed by Platt (R.) of Connecticut and Hill (D.) of New York on account of the action taken in conference as to United States Commissioners. The conference report was defended by Cullom (R.) of Illinois. Finally the vote was taken and the con- ference report was disagreed to—ayes 26, noes 33. A partial conference report on the In- dian appropriation bill was presented and agreed to, and a further conference was ordered. Butler (Pop.) of North Carolina moved that the Senate proceed to the considera- tion of the bill intfoducea by him on Jan- uary 30, *'to prohibit the further issuance of interest-bearing bonds without the con- sent of Congress.” Hill rose to make some suggestions ad- verse to the motion, but objection was made by Stewart (Pop.) of Nevada, as the motion wasnot debatable. “Thep I move that the Senate do now adjourn,” said Hill,“and I ask for the ayes and noes on that motion.” The vote was taken and the motion to adjourn was rejected—ayes 13, noes 35. A motion to proceed to executive busi- ness was then interposed by Chandler. The vote on {his motion was: Ayes 10, noes 32, No quornm having voted, the presiding officer ordered that the roll be called. Pending the call, however, unanimous consent was given to Pettigrew (R.) of South Carolina to present the conference report on the Indian appropriation billin order to have it printed and taken up to- morrow. Hill was promptin seizing the advantage which the reception of the report gave him and he demanded the reading of the report—a demand in which he was sus- tained by the presiding officer (Faulkner of West Virginia). Allen, after some general skirmishing, alluded to the filibustering that was going on with the evident purpose of preventing the taking up of Butler's bill. He was quickly interrupted by Hill, who asked the chair brusquely: *“What is the ques- tion and who gives him theright to speak, and gives it to no other Senator?” “1 have a right to speak,’” Allen broke in, “and I think I will do it, too. Others have got rights here as well as you.” The presiding officer—I will state very frankly that having ruled on the question, there is nothing now before the Senate except the motion of the Senator from New Hampshire, to proceed to executive business; and on that the Senator from Nebraska has the floor, by unanimous consent. “Did he request it ?” Hill asked. ‘‘He did not,” was the reply of the pre- siding officer. “He rose to a point of order.” “Yes,” said Allen, *‘and he is still stand- ing on his point of order.” “Well, it is a pretty slight support,” said Hill contemptuously. “The chair recognizes the Senator from Nebraska,” the presiding officer said. “When did he request unanimous con- sent to speak?” Hill asked. *‘The Senator from Nebraska,” the chair responded, “has not formally made the re- quest. The chair failed to call him to order, and no Senator called him to order, and therefore the chair assumed that the Senator from Nebraska was speaking by the unanimous consent of the Senate, and the chair will so hold until the Senator fromn Nebraska surrenders the floor.” “Then the point of order,” Hill admitted, “will not lie.” Allen went on to say that the violation of the unanimous consent would not have taken place if the bill had been introduced by a Republican or a Democrat. It was because the Senator from North Carolina happened to be 8 member of the Populist party, and because the bill was supposed to be a Povulist measure that unanimous consent was violated. © «I amglad,” Hill interposed, ““to hear it announced distinctly as a Populist meas- - “r‘!‘l es, sir,” said Allen, defiantly. Butler rose to make a remark, but was interrupted by Hill, who said he had no objection to the Senator from Nebraska continuing, but that he did not believe that both Senators should have the floor at the same time. Ailen said that he yielded to the Senator from North Carolina for a question. Butler alluded to Allen’s remark that the filibustering was aue to the fact that he (Butler) was a Populist, and said that the same filibustering would take place if the bill had been introduced by a Demo- crat or by a Republican. The filibustering took place because the bill was right. I think so, too,” Allen chimed in. “The filibustering is against a just meas- ure,” Butler added. Allen was making some additional re- marks when Hill broke in with, *Let them have all the rope they want, Mr. Presi- dent.” “I understand very well,”” said Allen, severely, ‘“‘that my talking would assist the Senator from New York to kill time, but I don’t understana, and I never ex- pect to live to be old enough to under- stand, how a distinguished Senator who occupies a chair 1n this chamber can feel himself at liberty in a public manner to violate openly a unanimous-consent agree- ment because a bill does not originate with a member of his party.” “I desire to know,"”” Hill asked, angrily, “whethe~ the Senator intends to refer to me when he speaks of violating a unani- mous-consent agreement ?”’ ““What does the Senator want to know for?” Allen inquired. “Simply cuyiosity,” was the ironical re- ply. “Mr. President,” said Allen, in answer to Hill's question, “I meant the Senator from New York.” “Then I desire to say right here,” Hill responded wrathfully, “that the statement is false. I have violated no unanimous consent of the Senate; none whatever. I have simply insisted on my rights, and I have been sustained by-the chair.” “I don’t propose,” Allen coolly re- marked, *‘to say that the Senator’s state- ment is false, or anything of that kin but the Senator from New York never will live long enough to convice me that his conduct is honest in making the objec- tion.” “That may be,” replied Hill, “and I don’t care to live long enough to convince vou. I stand upon my personal rights and have violated no unanimous-consent agreement.” What is the question before the Senate?” Gray (D.) of Delaware asked. “The reading of the conference report,” was the answer of the presiding officer, and he directed the clerk to proceed with the reading. After the conference report was read and ordered printed the obstruction tactics were continued by Hill and Chandler and a half dozen roll calls were had, the aver- age result being 12 to 34 on various dila- tory motions. This course was interrupted, however, in order to have the conference report on the river and harbor bill again presented and agreed to. It embraced an agreement on the Branswick (Ga.) appropriation, but itleft still open the question of the deep- sea harbor in Southern California, on which a further conference was ordered. It was also interrupted by messages from the House with the immigration bill, which was referred to the committee on immigration and with the vetoed pension bill, which was referred to the committee on pensions. Finally, when the Senate had grown rather weary of the filibustering proceed- ings and when the Bergeant-at-Arms bad been ordered to report the attendance of absent members Butler moved an adjourn- ment, stating that he would move to take up the prohibitory bond bill early to-mor- row, and the Senate at 6:25 adjourned until to-morrow. s OFVER THE PRESIDENIT'S VETO. Passage of the Bill Granting a Pension to Franocis E. Hoover. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 21.—By a vote of 196 to 47 the House to-day passed over the President’s veto the bill granting a pension of $50 a month to Francis E. Hoover, late of the Twenty-third Indiana Regiment of Volunteers. A debate of two hours preceded the vote, Kirkpatrick (R.) of Kansas, Wood (R.) of Illinois and Willis (R.) of Delaware advocating the passage of the bill and Erdman (D.) of Pennsylvania, Lond (R.) of California and Bartlett (D.) of New York in favor of sus- taining the veto. All the Populists and Republicans generally voted for the bill, and the Democrats against it. The follow- ing Republicans, however, voted to sus- tain the veto: Loud of California, Raney of Missouri, Quizg and Wadsworth of New York, and the following Democrats to pass the bill: Cockrell of Texas, Cummings of New York, Layton and Sorg of Ohio and Stokes, Strait and Talbert of Soutb Caro- lina. This was preceaed by a half hour’s state- ment by Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio reparding a telegram from Washington to the Cin- cinnati Tribune, which *lined bim up with the Reed men,” in voting to oppose the reporting of any reciprocity bill from the Committee on Ways and Means. Pass- ing by the “lining up with the Reed men’” by the observation that he might be found in worse company, Grosvenor denied the deport that there were anny factions emong the Republicans on the Conumittee on Ways and Means, asserting that they had acted as a unit upon all matters. Consideration was begun of the Phillips labor-commission bill under the special order agreed to yesterday, and its pas- sage was advocated by Phillips (R.) of Pennsylvania and Low (R.) of New York. The time for its discussion was exterded antil 4 o’clock to-morrow. A resolation was agreed to directing the printing of 10,000 copies of the immigra- tion bill passed yesterday. At 5:10 p. m. the House adjourned until to-motrow. NO PENSION FOR HER. Why Cleveland Vetoed the Bill Granting Kelief to Lydia A. Taft, ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21.—Presi- dent Cleveland returned to the House yes- terday, without his signature, a bill grant- ing a pension to Lyaia A. Taft. He ex- lained that Taft served as a private in a Connecticut . regiment for a period of nearly three years. No application for a pension was made by him, although he lived until 1891, when he died in a Con- necticut Soldiers’ Home. “No suggestion,” the President states, ‘‘is made that he incurred any disability in the service or that his death was in any manner related to such service.”’ In 1882, nearly twenty-four vears after her marriage to Taft, and seventeen years after his discharge from the army, she ob- tained a divorce from him, upon the ground of his babitual drunkenfness and failure to support her. The message continues: *It {s now proposed, five years after the soldier’s death to pension the widow, the wife who was divorced from him at her own in4y stance, fourteen years ago; who voluntar- ily renounced a wife’s tion with all fts duties and all its richts, and who, by her own act, g‘hmd.bemll beyond the ‘possi- bility of becoming the widow of her sol- dier husband.” Treasury Gold Reserve. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21.—The Treasury gold reserve at the close of busi- ness to-d:{lltood $117,873,501. The day’s withdrawals were $45,200. PRESBYTERIANS ARE ASSEMBLED, Opening Session of the Rep- resentatives of the Church. SERMON OF DR. BOOTH. Proposes a Method of Bringing All Doctrinal Troubles to an End. BROTHERLY LOVE IS URGED. John L. Withrow of Chicago Elected Moderator and Presented With a Historic Gavel. SARATOGA, N. Y., May 21.—The one- hundred-and-eighth General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America opened its sessions here to-day in the First Presbyterian Church with the usual sermon from the retiring moderator. Nearly 700 commissioners, half ministers and half elders, occupied seats on the floor of the auditorium, and as many more ladies and visitors were crowded upon the floor of the auditorium. The service, according to the book of dis- cipline of the Presbyterian Church, began promptly at 11 o’clock. Dr. Booth’s sermon occupied more than an hour n the delivery. Dr. Booth up- held in eloquent words the theological svstem of the church, the much-abused ‘Westminster confession. He also extolled the system of government of the Presby- terian church and its methods of evan- gelization. Dr. Booth proposed a method of bring- ing the doctrinal troubles of the church to an end. He pleaded for arbitration, for brotherly confidence, for mutual conces- sions, for an amicable adjustment of diffi- culties whereby the contentions in the church over doctrines, over Biblical inter- pretation and over theological standards might be settled. Promptly at 3 o’clock the General As- sembly was formally constituted by States Clerk Roberts, Moderator Booth being in the chair, and the business of the sessions began. The first attention was given to the elec- tion of moderator, and nominations for | that office were declared to be in order. Rev. Dr. Thomas H. Clellana of Duluth presented the name of Francis C. Monfort of Cincinfati. Rev. Dr. William H. Hubbard of Au- burn, N. Y., nominated David R. Breed of Pittsburg. Rev. John R. Davies of New York placed in nomination the name of John L. With- row of Chicago. The nominations were then declared | closed. The vote for moderator was as | follows: Monfort 84, Breed 162, Withrow | 815. Aifter the customary exchange of greet- ings the new moderator callea for the re- port of the local committee of arrange- ments. A gavel made of wood taken from the field of Burgoyne’s surrender was pre- sented to the moderator as coming from the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. A customary tem- porary organization was then perfected and the assembly adjourned. To-night the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was administered in the church to all commissioners. —_— AT OTHER ASSEMBLIES. Rev. A. W. Hawkins FElected Moderator of the Cumberland Presbyterians. BIRMINGHAM, Ara, May 21.—The sixty-sixth General Assembly of the Cum- berland Presbyterian Church was formally opened in this city this morning. The 200 delegates came from all sections of the United States. The assemby represents a membership of 200,000. At the morning session Dr. M. E. Dewitt, the moderator, preached an ardent missionary sermon. At the afternoon session the selection of officers was made, Rev. A. W. Hawkins of Decatur, Ill., Rev. H. C. Bird of Union- town, Pa., and Rev. J. M. Halsell of Hous- ton, Tex., being nominated for moderator. The vote resuited: Halsell 35, Bird 57, Hawkins 101. Rev. J. M.

J.,, May 21.—A steady rain this morning did not dampen the ardor of the Baptists who are here, to the number of 2000 or more, and the audi- torium was comfortably filled when Presi- dent Crozier called the assembly of the Baptist Publication Society to order. Pro- fessor H. C. Vedder of Pennsylvania, chairman of the committee on publishing department, made the opening address, and read the report of his committee. He was followed by the Rev. W. H. Geist- weit of Minnesota, who reported for the committee on missionary department. Ex-Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin urged the publication of a work onthe United States of America in the light of prophecy as well as history. The Senator’s proposi- tion aroused opposition and was voted down. George F. Stevens of Cincinnati said that a large proportion of the receipts of the publication society was from sales of pub- lications from other houses. This caused a breeze and was denied from the plat. form. Mr. Stevens went on to say that the 800,000 Baptists of the North buy few of the books published by the society and read less. H. S. Hopper reported for the finance committes that fully $200,000 will be needed in order to carry on the work as planned for coming year. The financial report showed that the total sales of the book department for the year ending March 1, were 598,590, and the totalreceipts from all sources, $579,501. The balance in the treasury was $570l. The total assets are given as $1,023,191; lia- bilities, $58,356; net assets, $964,835. At 4 o'clock the Publication Society gave way to the American Historical Society. Dr. Lemuel Moss of New Jersey presided, The old officers were elected. Rev. Dr. Phillip L. Jones of Pennsylvania delivered the annual address, **‘An Impelled Renais- sance,” as his text, and at 5:30 o’clock ad- journment was taken. Fully 3000 people were present in the au- ditorium in the evening. PROSPECT OF WINIER WHEAT. Reports Show & Favorable Outlook in Several States. TOLEDO, Omro, May 2L.—During the past three days the grain firm of C. A. King & Co. has received 3436 crop reports from grain-dealers and millers. Present prospects for winter wheat are very favor- able in Kansas and most of Michigan. Missouri and 1llinois have fair prospects. Indiana is growing worse, and promises less than three-quarters of an average €rop, owing mostly to the Hessian fly, which is also doing harm in some sections of Michigan. Ohio continues a trifile more than halfacrop. Bight hundred and four of the reports say the prospect nowis ex- cellent; 756 foran average crop; 247 a trifle below an average; 405 three-quarters of a €rop, 478 two-thirds, and 1108 half a crop. Five hundred and ninety say less than half a crop, and come mostly from Ohio and Indiana. Prospect averages a trifle worse than two wecks ago. Recent rains have been beneficial, but some sections still compiain of drought. Kansas and Missouri show a slight im- rovement. Kanses sufferea a little from ot winds and hail. _ Missouri reports some chinch bugs. Illinois and Ohio show no material change. Illinois has numerous chinch bugs, but the outlobk otherwise is very favorable. Indiana has suffered materially from the Hessian fly and drought. Ohio has had very little in- sect damage. Michigan reported an ex- cellent prospect until a few days ago when some sections say Hessian fly has caused material damage. The harvest promises to average about ten days earlier than i”i year, judging from the present out- METHOST COVERECE The Election of Secretaries of the Board of Church Ex- tension. Cities That Will in Future Be Favored by the Episcopal Resi- dence. CLEVELAND, Onuro, May 2L.—Bishop Morrell presided at to-day’s session of the Methodist Episcopal General Conference. A.J. Kynett and W. A. Spencer were electea secretaries of the board of church extension on the first ballot. Rev. Dr. W, T. Smith of Des Moines was elected third secretary of the Missionary Society on the sixth ballot, The question of foreign episcopal resi- dences came up on the motion to substi- tute Shanghai for Philadelphia. Many speeches were made on both sides. The substitute was tabled. This question of foreign episcopal residences is an impor- tant one, and will receive due attention at the hands of the conference in aday or two. N The following is a list of cities that will have Episcopal residences: Boston, New York, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Washington, D. C., Chattanooga, New Orleans or Fort Worth, Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Topeka, Minneapolis, Denver, San Francisco or Los Angeles. During the debate on the foreign episco- pate Eiji Arada, lay delegate from Japan, made an earnest appeal for a bishop in Japan or China. He said that the church needed a bishop in order to help progress in those countries. J. W. Hamilton and J. C. Hartsell were re-elected secretaries of the Freedmen's and Southern Educational Society on the first ballot. e INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAWS. Protest Against a Proposed Change by Amending a Section. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21..—The Vice-President this afternoon laid before the Senate the resolutions of the eighth annual convention of Railroad Commis- sioners, held in this city May 19 and 20, The Commissioners protest against the change proposed to be made in the inter- state commerce act by amending section 10 so as to eliminate imprisonment and provide punishment by fine only, as pro- vided in a bill now pending in Congress. This section has only been given force and effect within a recent period by a Supreme Court decision, and the resolution asserts that it is better to give it a fair trial be- fore changing its provisions. Discrimination in rates is, the memorial asserts, a crime for which the railroad offi- cial and shipper should receive the sever- est puuishment known to the law. It is the opinion of the memorialists that if ex‘))enence shows the law as now framed to be ineffective and inoperative, greater and severer venalties should attach to its violation. For this reason the memorial- ists state that they are opposed to any amendments to the interstate commerce law until it be so amended as a whole that under the light of the recent decisions the rights and interests of the people in gen- eral are properly safeguarded under it, the duties and responsibilities of the car- riers are carefully fixed and defined in it, and the power znd authority of the Inter- state Commerce Commission are properly established by it. —_—— 48 TO THE NORTRERN PACIFIC. Proposed Changes in the Bill to Facili~ tate Reorganization. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21.—The sub-committee of the House Judiciary Committee, to which was referred the Hartman joint resolution to facilitate the reorganization of the Northern Pacific Company, will probably complete their discussion of the measure at to-morrow’s meeting. The sentiment developed at to- day’s meeting was unfavorable to the pro- visions which exempt from sale mineral and timber lands. The committee feels that the company may properly retain any coal mines now in operation by it where the output is used by the corpora- tion, but it is not disposed to extend the exemfiuun further. If the debate to-day be taken as an indication of the commit- tee’s temper this change will be made in the resolution when it is reported to the full committee, as will probably be the case within the next few days. Beyond this the other changes, it is thought, will not be material. = el For Uniform Freight Rates. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21.—The Senate Committee on Interstate Com- merce to-day ordered a favorable report on the bill indorsed by the National Board of Trade, providing for a uniform_classifica tion of freight. The classifications estab- lished by the Interstate Commerce Com- mission are to be obligatory upon roads en- zaged in interstate commerce and failure to observe them is made punishable under the tenih section of the interstate com- merce act. R Internal Revenue Receipts. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21.—Inter- nal revenue receipts for the past ten months aggregated $121,660,370, an in- crease over the like period of 1895 of $1,- 008,196. As compared with the ten months of "1895, receipts from spirits show a de- crease of $1,690,302; tobacco, an increase of $1,151,126; fermented liquors, an increase of $2,207,287; oleomargarine, & decrease of fig;.g?;: and miscellaneous, a decreuse of 22 RACING UNDER LOWERING SKIES, An Immense Crowd Turns Out at Oakley to See the Derby.

TO MUCH ¥OR IVES. Garnier With His Big Handicap Wins the Billiard Game. CHICAGO, ILL, May 21.—Albert Gar- nier’s handicap of 200 points again proved too much for Frank Ives in the billiard — match to-night between those players. The score stood 300 to 477 at the end of the Belgian’s twenty-fifth inning and ithe winner evidently earned & popular victory judging by the applanse.

LONDON, Exc., May 21.—A representa- tive of the United Press telegraphs from Gravesend that in the yacht races of the new Thames Yacht Club to-day the Sata- nita, without any biige and with nearly two tons less keel than she had in the Mediterranean, made common barges of the Britannia and the Aiisa in the race over the fifty-mile course. Though the Satanita is ten feet longer than the Britannia by the British rule, both vessels are virtually the same. The Satanita was sailed badly on the side, but she went like a torpedo-catcher. The Allsa had her main sail reefed, but the others carried full sail and all had jib- headed top sails hoisted. In the free reach of twenty miles the Satanita beat the Britannia and the Ailsa nearly twenty minutes, and in going be- fore the wind coming back she doubled her lead. The Niagara's altered depth has lessened her stability. The Niagara got a bad start and had to recross the line, yet she led at the half distance. The Satanita won the race for the large raters, Britannia second and Ailsa third. In the race for the small raters the Niag- ara was beaten by Frank Jameson’s new yacht, the Saint. N0 CHARGES PREFERRED Why the Committee of the Mis- sionary Boards Saw the President. Minister Terrell’s Name Mentioned Kindly, but a Greater Diplomat Is Desired for Turkey. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 2L.—William E. Dodge, one of the committee of the mis- sionary boards who had a conference last Friday with President Cleveland, at which it was said certain charges were preferred against United States Minister Terrell, accusing him of misrepresenting this Gov- ernment in Constantinople, was seen to- day by a representative of the United Press, to whom he explained the errand of the committee to Washington. He said: “*A committee of gentlemen interested in the work of American missionaries in Turkey went to Washington last week to confer with the President and the State Department in regard to the position and work of missionaries and American socie- ties in Turkey, and to talk over the treaty rights on the subject. The Rev. Henry G. Dwight, who is thoroughbly conversant with these affairs, was invited to accom- pany us, and the President asked Minister Terrell to be present at the conference. Simply an informal talk was bad upon these questions, and no conclusions were reached. Minister Terrell’s name was mentioned but once, in the kindliest way and in warm words of praise. “The Rev. Mr. Dwight told of the good work Mr. Terrell had done for this Gov- ernment in the Sultan’s domain, and es- peciaily praised him for the beneficial aid he had afforded American missionaries in Turkey. Notan unkind word was spoken of Mr. Terrell. “During an incidental conversation about the Turkish court it was suggested by some one that, in view of the peculiar condition of affairs in that country, it might be well in future to select one of our most thoroughly trained diplomats for the post. From this remark may have arisen the story concerning the charges. There was no intention to disparage Mr. Terrell's work as Minister to Turkey and the sug- gestion was made in a friendly spirit.” Dr. Josiah Strong, also one of the com- mittee who saw.the President on this oc- casion, was present during the interview with Mr. Dodge and acquiesced in the lat- ter’s statement. b Gt TRICK OF A HOTEL KEEPER.

DENVER, Coro., May 21.—Last Tues- day night Professor Paul Ricker and wife of Olympia, Wash., arrived in this city and registered at the Grand Central Ho- tel, near the depot.

Itflew out the door instead and broke open on the sidewalk, scattering the contents over the pavement. In the satchel Mrs. Ricker states were jewels and money to a value exceeding $2000 and nothing of value was recovered, some one whom Ricker thinks was a confederate of the hotel man having escaped with the property. Thisafternoon W. M. Van Horn, the proprietor, was ar- rested upon a charge of grand larceny. Professor Ricker was formerly Assistant State Geologist of California.
