THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, THURS Y, MAY 27. 1897. OREAKING | IWAY FROM PARTY LINES e | First Important Skir- mish of the Tariff } Campaign. | 1 BORACIC ACID IS MADE THE ISSUE. | Democrats and Silverites Who ! Are Looking to Local | Interests. | | DEICIDED VICTORY FOR THE REPUBLICANS. | 7 | Senator White Suggests a Serles | of Tables for Convenlence of the Public. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26.—The first important skirmish of the tariff cam- | paign in the Senate resulted to-day ina | decide | victory for the Republicans. It | wes fought upon the question of whether | the duty on boracic acid should be 5 cents 2 pound or the Finance Commitixe rate | of 3 cents, as proposed in the amendment | offered by Vest. The fight was instruc- | tive as an indication of what may be ex- pected in d to every important item | in the bill, and the vote was supgestive of | the manner in which local interests affect | the action of Senators. Vest's amend- ment was defeated by a majority of 14— | two Democratic Senators (McEnery and | While) and three silverites (Cannon, Jones | of Nevada and Stewart) voting with the | Reputlicans. All Democrats not voting were paired the affirmative. Butler | (Pop.) and Mantle (Sil.) were paired in the negative, while no pairs were an- | nounced for Pettigrew and Teller (Sil. Kyle (Ind.) and Allen (Pop.) Before the vote Aldrich, in opposing | Vest's amendment, said that representa- tives of the borax industry declared the | proposed s on borax in its various forms to be absolutely necessary. i Jenes of ansas read the prospectus of & London company which proposed to purchase of the Pacific Coast Borax Com- pany at San Francizco, showing that very large profits bave been made from the busin ss for several vears during which the tariif on boracic acid was only 214 cents a pound. The next paracrupn fixes the duty on all alcoholic perfumery at 50 cents a pound and 45 per cent ad valorem. Vest’smo- tion to put the duty at what it was under the McKinley act—$2 per gallon and 50 per cent ad valorem—was rejected. A gallon, | he said, containei seven pounds, so the | propose. duty of $4 20 a gallon and 40 per cent ad valorem, or about $5 a gallon on an article valued at $1 40, might be char- | acter zed protection run mad.” { The next five parigraphs were quickly disvosed oi, the'commiltee amendments being agreed to. Paragraph 7}, pattinga duty of one- fourth of a cent a pound on bleaching owder or chloride of lime, was obposed | Gray, who said that it was on the free list now and in the House bill, and 1t the rroposed duty would be a wanton <e of power 1o the injury of the pulp- rakers and the paper manufacturers. 1 his attention had been called to the matter this moraing by a Pennsyl- paper manufacturer, Wio was posed to the par ph, and at Quay’s re- quest the paragraph went over till to- morrow. White (D.) of California asked to have insered in the record, for conven- jence of the Senate and the public, a series of tables as follows: Articles paying from 50 to 75 per cent under the pending bill; g from 75 to 100 per cent; ng above 100 per cent; also a statement showing the small amount of importation of certain high-taxed articles, ng prohibitory duties; also a table more beavf.y taxed than in the was to come from, to which White replied that Evans, the tariff expert, employed by the minority of the committee, had taken charge of the tabulations. Jones (D.) of Arkansas asked Ald- rich if he had made any estimate of the general average of the ad valorem rate under his bill. Aldrich replied that he had not, as it was a very hard thing to do. The tariif bill was then laid aside, alter only three pages of the 217 had been dis- posed of. The conference report on the sundry civil appropriation bill was then taken up and it was agreed that discussion of the forest reservation matter should begin early to-morrow and a vote be taken at 2 o’clock. > INGALLS GrIS A FROST. Zhe Kansas Ex-Senator Hardly Noticed by His Former Associates WASHINGTON, D. C.,, May 26.—Dar- ing the discussion on the tariff bill to-day ex-Senator Ingalis entered the chamber attired in a long gray overcoat reaching 10 bis heels, steel-blue trousers wish spots to match, and carrying a_broad-brimmed, cream-colored felt hat. Ingalis evideatly expected to create a stir, but if so'he was greatly disaprointed. His reception by the body of which he was so long 8 mem- ber and for several years its presidiug offi- cer, and always one of the most pictur- esque figures, was chiliing. Not a Senator t bis seat to greet him, and the small uumber of old colieagues who shook his band in passing, showed a striking lack of cordiality. After sitting negzlected on a rear sofa for awhile Ingalls passed out, g A THE RECIPROCIIY CLAUSE, Differs in Tmportant Partibulars From That of the MeKinley Bill WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26.—The reciprocity clause of the new tariff bill has heen prepared and will be introduced by Burrows as an amendment to the bill. It differs 1n one or two important particulars from a similar clause in the McKinley In Tne first portion of the proposed clause places a potent weapon in the hands of the President by which he can increase duties 25 per cent on goods from any country exporting to the United States these articles in case they charge b the United States any greater duty on any products than tkey charge other countries. This will immediately apply to Cuba, where Spain charges the United States $416 per barrel for flour and herself only 88 cents, The President already has authority to prehibit imports from countries which discriminate against our products, butas this iz an e me measure 1t could only bs resorted to in great emergencies. The proposed ciause could pbe applied without serious friction, but the burden of duty would b: sufficient to bring any country to terms promptly. 1890. The clause was written by Warner 0. sutton, for many years Consui-General at various posts in Mexico. Sutton wrote the first rough drafis also of the re- ciprocity clause of the act of 1880 for Blaine. ———— SENATOLS LOCK HORNS. Aldrich avd Eawley Nearly Come ‘o Blows Uver the Tariff. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26.—The new steering committee of the Senate ap- vointed for the purpose of guiding the tariff bill through the Senate held its first meeting at the Ariington Hotel to-night, and was led to adjourn in order tomvoid a personal encounter between two distin- guished Senators. A dispute a-ose as to some proposed amendments to internal revenue schedules, and during the discus- sion Aldrich, the practical author and re- cognized sponsor of the bill, and Senator Hawley of Connecticut, who is more or less dictatorial and emphatie, locked horns, The new Senator from Kentucky (Deboe) also tecame invoived in the heated controversy, but being a raw re- cruit he was not so free in expressing his opinion as the veteran Hawley, who is varticularly interested in rates on tobacco. Becoming angered at a remark of Aidrich Hawley gave unmistakabie evidence of o desire to settle the row with his fists, But at this point the sense of propriety of both Senators and the wise counsel of others prevailed, and the disputants were kept apart. Before the meeting adjourned they shook hands ana agreed to forgive and for- get. 10 CURTii/L DEBATE, Plan of Repudlican Managers to Rush the BUL Along. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 26.—The Republican members of the Finance Com- mittee who were appointed by the caucus to take charge of the tariff bill began their work to-night. Such amendments as the steering committee accepts will be offered to the bill in the nate as committee amendments. Tihe Republican managers hope by this plan to do away with almost all debate from their side of the chamber | in the matter of urging desired modifica- tions of rates reported by the sub-com- mittee and expect to shorten to that ex- tent the time necessary for the passage of the bill. THE SENATE IMP:RTINENT. | Havemeyer's Attorney Says Some of the Questions Asked the Sugar King Were Hghly Improper. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, May 26.—The prosecution in the case of Henry Have- meyer closed this afternoon. It was evident from the day’s proceed- ings that the defense would attempt to show that Havemeyer, while he did not answer the question referred to, did prac- tically give the information desired in his Teplies to other questions. Atiorney Jobnson, for the deiense, made an elab- orate argument and presented six points { for tue defense as a reason for a verdict in favor of his client. He pictured the | question as unfair, irrelevant and in the nature of an ingwiry into & personal matter with which the committee had nothing to do, He aetailed the conduct of Havemeyer before the committee, in- tending 1o show that he had replied to all the questions which the committee had & right to k him, in the fullest possible manner, but he drew the line when it went into the private matters of the companv. Mr. Havemeyer ‘“was too much of a gen- tieman,” said Johnson, *‘to tell them it was none ot their business, but I say for bim that it was none of their business.” Johnson wanted to know why Senator Allen wanted to dig into the affairs of Senators, and said that while it was zood to regulate the morals of others, it might be better were some of this effort on the part of moralists directed to bring morals 10 themselves. “The question was as im- pertinent,” said he, “‘as though Le had asked Havemeyer how many children, or how mnch money, be had.” Adjourned till to-morrow. e A8 SPECIAL EMBASSADOR. Whitelaw Keid May Represent This Coun- try at the Queen’s Jubilee. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26.—Presi- dent McKinley this afternoon tendered Whitelaw Reid the place of Special Em- bassador to represent the United States at the Queen’s Jubilee. The questicn of appointing a special Embassador has been under consideration for some time. No precedents were found on w special envoy. The President was very anxious to confer the honor on Reid, but he did mot want to do anything that might be construed as a slight to Hay, the regularl# accredited Embassador. He sent a telegram to-day to Embassa- dor Hay asking his views. Hay responded promptly with his cordial assent, and the tender was then made to Reid. OF INTEREST 10 THE COAST. White Pleads for the Boraz Indwstry, Postal and Pehsion Eates. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26.—Sena- tor White addressed the Senate to-day in advocacy of his amendment 1o increase the duty on borax from 4 to5 cents per pound. The amendment was adopted.

C., May 26.—The Navy Departraent has succeeded in get- ting an American ship to carry the sup- plies contributed by charitable people in this country to the famine sufferers of India. Efforts to secure a suitable vessel in New York failed and the de- pariment tried other places. The ship selected is the City o1 Everett, now at San Francisco, which has a carrying capecity of 2600 tons. Most of the grain contributed is in New York, though 700 tons of it has been sent to San Francisco. ‘When enough has been received there to fill the vessei she will be sent to India without further delay. St oAl GG Sared Frou. a Howling Gale, PRINCETON, Mass, May 26.—Sixteen members of the crew of the schooner J. P. Johnson, who were lost in a fog at last Friday, were picked up early last Sunday morning in & howling gale by the Norwegian bark China. They had only raw fish to eat and no water and some had become hali-crazed from thirst. They were sailing for land when picked up. The men are in a deplorable condition, but will recover, Tobaceo 1s included | in the provisions of the proposed clause | as well as articles named in the act of | h to pase_the appointment of a | BURNED H15 SON O A HOT STOVE | Then Let Loose the Dog | to Fight With Him | for Food. Awful Crime Punished Only by Sentence to Penal Servitude. | Grave Signs of the Decadence of the Thrifty Guillotine in the French Capital. | PARIS, Fraxce, May 2.—The celebra- | ted Gregoire case ended this evening in the conviction of the three accused per- sons. Pierre Gregoire was sentenced to penal servitude for life, and his mother and mistress, Louise Dashayes, were each condemned to five years’ imprisonmant. The prisoners were charged with having caused the death in December last of Gre- zoire’s son, 3 years old. He was made to | stand on a bot stove, and to struggle for { food with a dog. He was beaten frequentiy, | and at imes his tormentors woald cut him | with knives. | The father would put alump of sugar on the child’s head and bid the dog jump {for it. In doing so the animal would | seratch the boy’s face, which afforded | amusement to tie inbuman parents. Fin- | ally the helpless child was abandoned in | the street on a freezing night. He was | founa unconscious and died in a bospital. The police investigation led to the arrest of the guilty onex, aciew being furnished by a few words muttered by the boy in his delirium. The evidence presented at the trial, which began yesterday, created a sensa- tion. The courtroom was crowded, and | when some particularly damaging point was brourht out the audience would | shcut: “A mort!” “A mort!” When | Gregoire was sentenced he said: “‘Ask soci- | ety to pardon me for the crime I have committed.” Gregoire was a house painter by trade, but a loafer. The women were of bad | character. The crime is not punishabie with the guillotine. HOPELESS LOVE uF A CRIPPLE. Crazed by a Rival's Success, He Resorts to Assassinaton and Alterward Tak s S'rychnine. WICHITA, Kaxs.. May 26.—A romance and = double tragedy in which the trio of actors were young peonle living about fif- | teen miles north of Mediord, Grant Coun- ty, Oklahoma, occurred last week and the news reached here io-day. The outlines of the sad -tory are as follows: In a remote portion of Grant County there is a Bohemian colony consisting of a dozen or more families, principally of young people, with the parent stock in Sumner County, this State. Amone them is a young girl named Kaiie Urban, daughter of Joseph Urbau, one of the wealthiest Bovemian farmers in Bluff Township, Sumner County. Miss Urban is said to have that quality of face and form tnat stirs up the love and jealousies of men, bein © quite a rustic beauty. She has a ciaim in her own right and is very popularamong the members of that neigh- borkood. Near her lived Vaclaz Zelebok, whose legs are delormed. He isz2yearsofa e, It bas been demonstrated time and again that a cripple can love as hard as any other man, but not of course as effeci- ively. At any rate, Zelebok loved Miss Katie with trénendous fervor and he pro- posed to win ter at all hazards. His rival was Joseph Hajek, a good-looking young farmer of 18 This young feilow was the | favorite of Miss Urban, although not of her parents. His attentions to Miss Ur- | ban and her smiles upon him made the | cripple jealous. Saturday night Zelebok learned that Hajek Lad gone courting Miss Urban, and being unable to restrain the madness of his jealousy any longer, he armed himself and followed. Wuen he reached Miss Urban’s house he saw his rival through the window and immediately blazed away with a 44-caliber revolver, hitting him three times. One of the bullets sent Hajek’s collar-button clear through his neck. The Bohemians of the settlement being aroused they foilowed Zciebok, and after capturing him brought nim to Cald well, in Kansas, instead of taking him to the county seat of Grant County. Kansas | having no jurisdiction over the crime | Z+lebok was reléased and started back into { e strip. Tuesday night the Sheriff ar- rested him. Z-lebok asked 10 go iuto a | room of his hou-e to get some clothes and | the Sheriff permitted him todoso. He soon afterward came out and thev entered a buggy and siarted for Pond Creek, the county eat. On the way, near Medford, the Bheriff noticed that his prisoner was ill and in ashort time he died in great agony. When he had gone into his room he secured some strychnine and had swal- lowed it. Tne double tragedy is a matter of mucn regret among, not only the Bohemians of the colony, but those of the mother col- ony, near Caldwell, Kans. —_—— THE HONDULAS REVOLL. 4 Xeturned American ays It Was Con- coctet in New Orleans. NEW ORREANS, La, May 26.—Dun- berg, one of the Americans engaged in the Honduras revolution, has just returned ‘here. He says the whole affair was con- cocted in the Louisiana Hotel in this city. A wealthy Honduran supplied the funds, Five hundrea Honduran soldiers were paid to desert the Government, but weak- ened at the last moment and surrendered. Some Americans and the wealthy Hon- duran who engineered the revolt escaped in a boat. On the arrival of the British wan-of-war Intrepid at Puerto Cortez, after tnesup- presxion of the revolt, the Government re- fused to release the prisoners on the Brit- ish captain’s demands, saying ghat ony one Britisher was among the prisoners. The British captain gave the Government twenty minutes in which to release tha prisoners, including the Americans. At the end of tweniy minutes ali were re- leased. g Bl ELOPEMENT SEQUEL. Young Italian Killed by the Man Whose Wife He Had dtolen. NEW ORLEANS, La, May 26.—Carlo Martis wife eloped with her old lover, Vincenzio Sirchia, but the police caught them at Monroe, La. The wile, very peni- tent, consented to return home. Yester- day she received a letter from Sifchia, saying that he also was about to retarn and to meet him secretly at the depot. The husband filled the appointment in- stead. As the train reached the depot he sprang upon the cars, walied up the aisle to where Vincenzio was seated and shotat him three times. The young man fell to the floor, when Martini placed the pistol close to the head of the prostrate man and killed him. et AR Quit Chasing the Train-Robbers, SAN ANTONIO, TEx., May 26.—The | deputy marshals pursuing the three South- ern Pacific train-robbers returned to-day, baving abandoned the chase. The robbers were trailed 400 miles und found refage in the mountains near the New Mexico line. Officers are waiting for them to come out. ol SR THE SENSATIONAL SCOOFY. Says He Tried to Shoot Lawyer Totten Be- cause He B:came Enrcged at His Ccwardice. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26.—Leoni- das Scooly,- formerly of San Francisco, who attempted to shoot Howe Totten, a young Washington attorney, waived his preliminary examination inis morning, and was held to appear before the Grand Jury. He furnished bail in the sum of $3000. The real cause of his attempt to kill Totten is a mystery. There have been a dozen different stories circulated. All at- tempts to obtain interviews from the in- terested parties have been ursuccessful, until Mr. Scoofy was seen by a CALL rep- resentstive to-night and made the follow- ing statement; *‘The entire trouble was caused by Mr. Totten having in his possession certain papers whichy Le obtained in a cowardly maunner. The fact that he yielded when cenfronted by me seemed to me to be a confirmation of. what I knew of his con- temuptible charaeter, and this so enraged me that I attempted to kill him.” _Mr. Scoofy is well known in San Fran- cisco. His father was a wealthy Greek, one of the California pioneers, and young Scoofy is a native son of the Golden West. I issaid that the elder Scoofy left a considerable estate. One of his daugh- ters married Henry Highton of BSan Francisco. Leonidas Scoofy and his sister went to New York from San Francisco nine years ago, when Leonidas was about*20 years of age. They lived at the New York Hotel in the winter and at Cranstown, West Point, in the summer. Later the ccoofys, with their mother, lived at the Hoftman House and at the Albemarle until they removed to Washington. Iuis said that Miss Scoofy was a very ¢pirited young woman znd once struck an Englishman across the face with her fan for making remarks derogatory to the characier of American women, and that this created something of a sensation in society. 4 The Scoofys came to Washington to live several years ago, Leonidas acting as private secretary to Congressman Bartlett of New York. He is a hand:ome young felow, well educated and has traveled extensively in Europe and South America. His pernonal_attractiveness made him a favorite in Washington society. Here he met Miss Lonsiale, a society girl. Last December adispatch to THE CaLu announced their engagement, but o the surprise of all their iriends they eloped to Baltimore the next day and were married. This wasdone because the relatives of Mr. Bcoofy oprosed the match. Mrs. Scooly (nee Lonsdale) is now lying at the point of death in a New York hos- pital, suffering from an ubsca:s. Mr. Scoofy suys he does not expect her to live more than a few days. Sheis said to be unaware of the attempted shootin, Ther~ are several d:.fferent versions of this difficulty, but it appears that Scoofy, accomjaniedn by Miss Willie Lonsdale, visiced Lawyer Totten’s office here, and, aiter locking the door, demanded cartain vapers which the lawyer had in his pos- session. He consented to give them up, but not- withstanding this Mr. Scooty became en- raged and attempted to shoot Totten with a pistol. Scoofy’s finger was caughtin the hammer of the gun, which prevented its discharge. They clinched and Totten managed to hold “Scoofy until the door was broken open by iriends, who came to the lawyer’s assistance. Lawyer Totten is sald to have been en- gaged to Miss Lonsdale before Scoofy mar:ied her, Mr. Scoofy justly and indignantly re- sents the insinuation that his wife isina deiicate condition. The New York papers have publishea crue' statements to the effect that the quarrel Mr, Scoofy had with the lawyer was on account of indiscreet conduct on the part of Mrs. Scoofy before she was married, Mr. Scocfy says he does not believe that Totten will coLtinue his prosecution, bui that the case will be dismissed. He will insist, however, that Lawyer Totten give up the papers in his possession, If be does so Mr. Scooiy will insist upon the case coming to trial, for the young man ieels confident that any jury, aiter hearing the evidence against Totten, would acquit him of the intent to kill tbe lawyer. M. Bcoofy’s lawyers declare that if he had killed his man any jury in the world would have acquitted him. g AGAIN IN THE ARCHIVES. The 0/d Bradford Log Returned to Mas- sachusetts by Bayard Amid Much Speech-Making. BOSTON, Mass.,, May 26.—The famous log of Governor Bradford is again in this State and in the archives of the common- wealth. Belore a distinguished gathering in the House of Representatives this morning, including both branches of the Legislature and the executive council, the former Embassador, Bayard, as the representa- tive and messenger of Great Britain, placed the document in the hands of Governor Wolcott, as the representative of the com- monwealth and the designated custodian of the manuscript. Senator Hoar, as one who had taken a 1 ading part in the restoration of the manuscript, made an address upon its character and history. M-. Bayard spoke without notes or manuscript, and had an enthusiastie re- ception. His speech sounded the desire of the speaker for international good will, and showed that he regarded the occasian as one fraught with the greatest sig- nificance, from the fact that it was in a seuse international and represented the feeling of amity between the mother country and the Natic n which was founded on Plymouth plantation. Hesaid in part: “Ifit be & sin to long for the strength and safety of your country then I have been a great sinner, for I have been striv- ing to advance the honor and safety ana welfare of my country, and believe it thus accomplished by treating others with jus- tice and courtesy, and doing to them those things whicu we asked to have done 10 ourseives.” Senator Bradford of Hampden, a lineal descendant of the author of the manuscript history, preseuted a reso- lution of thanks to the Bishop of London, U'BRIEN. WEPT AT HIS DEFEAT Bestéd by Kid McCoy in Ten Very Bloody Rounds. McCoy’s Tactics a Revelation to Six Thousand Shouting Spectators. Boston Boy Greatly Outclassed. Saved From a Knockout by the Kind Referee. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 2.—in the tenth round, with Dick O’Brien of Boston bleedinz from the nose and both eyes, and coughing from the blood which he had accidentally swailowed, Referee Charley White stopped the glove fight at the Palace Atk letic Club to-night and de- clared “Kid” McCoy the victor. The battle demonstrated beyond a ques- tion of doubt that the hghter whode- pends on slugging does not always defeat the pugilist who couples scientific boxing with bard hitting. McCoy beat O'Brien as severely as Creedon did, and the meet- ing of the “Kid and the Australian is now necessary io decide who is the best middle-weight outside of Fitzsimmons. McCoy's tactics in the ring were a reve- lation. Few yersons in the big crowd ex- pected to see him sc completely outclass the sturdy Boston fizhter, In beight and reach McCoy had such an advantage that it was half the victory for him. In knowl- edge of ring generalship he was also far in advance of his opponent, and in the swiftness and accuracy with which all his blows were delivered he showed that he is a dangerous proposition for any fighter to tackle, O’Brien’s sole object in view was to rush and mix things up and take chanrces of landing one of' his heavy wallops on the “Kid’s” jaw. He adopted these methods aimost from the start, and before the first round was over he found McCoy was the hardest man to hit he had ever met in the ring. McCoy's ramrodlike left was a buffer for Dick’s face every time the Boston man rushed, and as u result O'Brien began to bieed in the first round. Asthe battle progressed McCoy showed that he is any- thing but a “brutal vrize-fichter.” He seemed 10 have compassion for his unfor- tunate rival, and on various occa-ions carefully refrained from tzking adv:ntage of openings which offered. When O'Brien was seen to be in distress in the last round, McCoy looked appealingly to the referee, who, with timeiy interferanco, saved O'Brien from the bumiliation of a knockout. Six thousand sports saw the fight. ‘When McCoy left tne ring_he didu’t haye & scratch on his face. His opponent’s countenance was seveorely battered and both eyes were almost closed. O'Brien admiited his defeat, and when the crowd cheered nim for bis pluck he sobbed aloud. ONCE LIVED IN OAKLAND, Herbert Miller Sued for Diroros for Al- teged Non-Support. ALTON, IvL., May 26.—Alice Muller has filed a suit for divorce from Herbert Mil- ler. They were married October 24, at Canajoharie, N. Y.

BOOTH-TUCKER'S TROUBLE. Convicted of Maintaining a Disordery House at the Salvation Army Barracks. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 26.—Booth- Tucker, commander of the American division of the Salvation Army, was con- victed to-night by a jury of maintaining a disorderly house at the Salvation Army barracks. ¥or three days the case has been on trial and the regiment of sleepiess board- ers who had testified that the Balvation- ts conducted noisy meetings at the bar- ks, appeared extremely happy when the verdiot was announced. Booth-Tucker was convicted on the tes- timony of forty persons residing in the vicinity of the barracks.
