FNEHOURS ON THE TARIFF BILL Disposed Of by the Senate. | | No Session to Be Held on Mon- | day in Order to Honor Vet- erans’ Memories. | Morgan Takes Occaslon to Arralgn the Method of Procedure In the House. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29.—The Benate gave four hours to the tariff hill to-day and disposed of just five para- graphs (100 to 104 inclusive), all relating to plate glass. Those paragraphs gave rise to a vast deal of discussion, but all attempts to reduce the rates below those recommended by the Finance Committee were defeated by majorities of 7 to 10. All committee amendments were adopted. The most notable event of the day was a discussion started by a proposition to observe Monday (Decoration day) as a holidsy. The motion wes antagonized by Hale, Proctor and Aldrich and enthusi- astically supported by Pettus snd Mor- gan. The latter launched out into an arraignment of the House and Speaker at their course in blocking all legislation. He considered it a matter of grave doubt whether the House, having abandoned its post, had not thereby worked the dlssolu- tion of the whoie Congress. He was finally arrested on this arraignment by a voint of order and when he took the floor again he transferred his attention to the tariff bill, which was designed, he said, not for protection, but to pay bounties to lordly masters of spindles and looms, raile road corporations and trusts. The tariff bill was taken up on motion of Aldrich, who called up the paragraph | relating to china, crockery, porcelain, etc., which had been passed over. Aldrich, in behalf of the committee, withdrew the Senate amendments to paragraphs 90 and 91, and stated that the House provisions would be allowed to stand. Jones of Arkansas objected to the par- tial consideration of the china schedule. It was finally agreed to let the entire schedule go over. The bill was then considered from the point reached yesterday, paragraph 100. An agreement was reached striking out the provision that all fluted, rolled, ribbed gh plate-glass when ground or oth- erwise obscured shall be subject to the same rate of daty as finished cast polished plate. s unsilvered. On the paragraph as to unsilvered cast polished plate glass, smail size, Jones of Arkan-as moved to reduce the rate from 8 cents a square foot. Jonesdeclared the increase of the duty on all classes of plate glass was astounding. In one case the rate or rov was increased 83 per cent above the high | rate of the McKinley act, which, he as- serted,-had been repudiated by the people because of its high rates. This was an at- tempt to raise the price of mirrors used in chesp furniture for poor people, while the | large size glass used by people of wealth had the rates reduced. This was a arity of the whole bill, as though the Senators in charge of it had in mind the old proverb: *“To him who hath ch shall be given, and from him who | nath little shall be taken away even that which he has.” Jones referred to the us dividends declared in the last ears. ree Vest added that the entire plate-glass ade, with a few trifling exceptions, was coi led by a combine which met an- nually at Pittsburg, making rates, etc. Jones presented a statement showing that the plate-glass combination had made profits of about $2,500,000 in twenty-two months on a capital of $2,000,000. Quay read a communication from the Pittsburg Plate Giass Company declaring that any statements that it was in a trust or combination in restraint of trade were untrue. After a lengthy debate Jones’ motion to reduce the rate on rough plate-glass from 8 to Scents was defeated—yeas 21, navs 29. When the rejection of Jones’ motion re- ducing the rate on rough plate-glass was announced Quay asked the Senate’s in- | tention regarding the Decoration day ses- sion. He thought it should adjourn in deference to the veterans. Aldrich said he preferred a Monday ses- He felt bound to press the bill every available hour during every hour of every day. Frye, Hale and Proctor spoke for and Vest, Pettus and Morgan against a session. Morgan shifted into a lengthy criticism | of the House in the action. Hs gave the tities of some important bills the Senate had passed this session (126) and on which no action could be taken by the House under the existing arrangement. Under any ordinary circumstances and con- templation of the founders of the Gov- ernment, he said, the House ought to be in session to consider those bills and other very important matters, but instead the tariff bili has been put forward, and sus- tained by all the Republicans and by some Democrats as a solution of all the coun- try’s difficulti In order {o compel the Senate to pass it the house was held in an unorganized condition and the consti- tution pelpably violated. The course of | the House was not in compliance with the question, and the matter caused a very serious doubt whether one of the two houses had not abandoned its constitu- tional post and duty, whether it had not withdrawn itself from the session of Con- gress and thereby worked a dissolution of the whole Congress. ‘“‘The course of tiie House,” he declared, “is a shocking out- rage on the Governmentjand the people of the United States. It was the letting down of Congress in the estimation of the people and the bringing of Congressinto deserved and sovereign contempt.” “‘Here,”" he said, re hundreds of men in Washington chewing the cud of reflec- tion and absolutely Wwaiting on a word from the lips of a single man to determine whether they shall have a voice in the Government or whether in fact they shall have any of the power of representatives of their States or districts. The patience, and patriotism of the American people as exhibitea under these very peculiar dis- honoring and trying circumstances was remarkable.” Hale made the point of order that Mor- gan violated a rule of parliamentary law in criticizing a co-ordinate branch. The presiding officer (Gallinger) sustained Hale. A vote was then taken on Quay’s motion to adjourn over till Tuesday and adopted by 34 ayes to 17 noes. mh oy NTERS. TARIFF DI*S Lindsay Would Withdraw the Differ- ential Sugar Xate. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 20.—Sena- tor Linasay of Kentucky, who was a mem- ber of the sugar investigating committee in 1894, said to-day he would move to strike from the tariff bill the provision for a aifferential rate to sugar refiners. The Senator added: ““That is the only way to rid the Senate of the scandal which periodically appears. I doubt if the differential rate can be stricken off, however, for I believe there is sufficient intiuence in the Senate to hold up the tariff unless the differential is allowed. I know it was the case when the Democratic bill was penaing. In my opinion nothing would be gained by an- other investigation. The same limitations will exist and embarrass the committee as hampered the last. There is but one way we can get at the bottom of this affair. That is by voting down the sugar trust differential.” Senator Jones of Nevada, chairman of the committee which controls the contin- | gent expenses of the Senate, to which was referred the Tillman resolution for an in- vestigation of the reports of speculation in sugar stocks by Senators, said to-day he thought the resolution would be favor- ably reported. He stated, however, that this was bis individual opinion and not the result of a conference with other mem- bers of the committee. COLUMBIA, 8. C., May 29.—Senator McLaurin is on the way to Washington, where he will take his seat Monday. He said he opposed the tariff bili now before the Senate becanse he was a Democrat. If a protective tariff is going to be im- posed he wisked his people, the cotton and rice growers, to derive the same bene- fits the manufacturers did. He was for Cuban liberty and favored helping the patriots in their struggle. He is an avowed silverite. NO TRANSFERS OF TROOPS. Too Much Needless Expense to the Gov- ernment—How the Fresident Keeps His Promises. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29.—A rep- resentative of THE CALL was informed to- day in the office of the Secretary of War that there wouid be no change whatever in the stations of troups at present. The Secretary has emphatically said two or three times that the condition of the treasury does not warrant any expendi- tures under this head except for the most urgent reasons. A considerable sum was necessarily spent in transporting troops to Washington on March4 and to New York City to the Grant parade. While it was advisable, it is presumed, to have the army represented in both instances, the feeling among many officers is that if the amount of money expended on those | two occasions could have been applied to | much-needed transfers the army would have been benefited to a greater dregree. General Miles made a number of recom- mendations regarding the change of sta- | tions of troops before his departure for Europe, but just what they are cannot be definitely stated. In connection with the appointment this week of Major-General Brooke, it is learned from a recable source that on the occasion of that officer’s recent visit to Washington, which was about the time of the appointment of Major-General For- syth, he had an interesting talk with President McKinley. 1tseemed thatGen- eral Brooke called at the White House on the invitation of the President. It also appears that General Brooke was promised his_promotion upon the retirement of Major-General Wheaton. This promise was made by the President. The day that General Brooke visited the White House the President recalled his promise and said that his intention was to fulfill it un- less General Brooke consented to its fur- ther postponement. Mr. McKinley stated, in a frank way, that it was his perticular desire to ap- roint at once Generals Forsyth and Bliss. He assizned what he regarded as good reason for making these promotions, but informed General Brooke that in view of his promise he would not do so should the general offer objection. Very naturally General Brooke desired his promotion, but under the circamstances be said to the President that he would not insist upon the execution of the earlier promise. Then the President stated that he would sena in the nominations of General For- syth and General Bliss, and that imme- diately after their confirmation he would send to the Senate the nomination of General Brooke. This promise has been kept. Secretary Long has admonished certain members of the board of inspection and other naval officers who attended the trial of the Iowa that itis improper to accept hospitalities from ship contractors. It appears that ali line officers on the Iowa's trip paid their own expenses, but that, following custom, a number of the staff officers did not. A few days ago Assistant Secretary Roosevelt sent inquiries to all members of the trial board asking for in- formation on this point. The replies were as indicated. No official explanation has been given out as to what prompted Mr. Roosevelt’s question. All the replies were iaid before Secretary Long, who ordered leiters of admonition to be drafted. Asit has been usual for shipbuilders to pay the living expenses of officers on the trial of vessels the observance of the rulein the Iowa case is nothing extraordinary. No contractor has ever presented a bill to the Government on this score, and if they generously entertain officers at their own expense the Government loses nothing.

Reid will sail early in June. e WOMAN CHARGED WITH ARSOSN, Her Arvest Brought About by a Pris- onrr’s Confession. ROCK ISLAND, Iin., May 29.—Mary Osbar, wife of Hans O bar, a prominent German citizen of Divenport, has been arrested and placed under $3500 bonds on a charge of arson. She was the wife of the late Adam Alday of Moline, whose residence was destroyed by fire in Janu- ary, 1896. Alday died in October, 1895, JOGN D, DALY T0 GET THE PRIZE It Now Seems Certain He Will Preside at the Postoffice. Other San Franciscans Are Beaten in the Race for the Place. John T. Dare WIll Be Appointed an Appralser, Instead of Post- master. WASHINGION, D. C., May —Con- gressman Loud has decided to recommend John D. Daly as postmaster of San Fran- cisco to succeed McCoppin, Mr. Daly is well known in San Francisco, having fig- ured somewhat in politics. It will be re- membered that he was a candidate for Assessor six or seven years ago and was defeated for the office by Mr. Siebe. Daly conducted a milk business for many vears and is said to have acquired some wealth in that business. He resides in the Mis- sion. Representative Loud was seen a8 CALL correspondent to-night vositively declined to afirm or deny the truth of the report that he bad decided to recommend Daly. Never- theless THE CALL correspondent’s in- formation is positive and reliable. Loud called on the President to-day to urge that General Romualdo Pacheco be appointed to the Argentine Republic mission, but while at the White House took occasion to speak to the President about the post- mastership. President McKinley is ready to appoint McCoppin’s successor in a few days. It is the custom for the Republican Congress- man to name the Postmasters in his own district, especially in his own city, and Senator Perkins, who is disposed to be as liberal as possible, has already said that he will not make any objections to any good man who may be named by Loud. John D. Spreckels, as stated in last night’s dispatches, is in favor of John T. Dare for the postmastership, and as he and Loud are entirely friendly and har- monious it may be that Mr. Spreckels’ wish will be gratified, as President Mc- Kinley, as well as both Senator Perkins and Representative Loud, realize that Mr. Bpreckels, as National Committee- man, is entitled to equal recognition. It is certain therefore that if Dare is not ap- pointed postmaster he will be made ap- praiser. It is expected that Perkins, Loud and Spreckels will have a conference to-mor- row or Monday. It is certain the Post- mastership lies between Daly ana Dare. Messrs. Backus, Dodge, McKinley, Bas- sett and Stetson are not in it. Representative Loud has received some communications from McCoppin’s bonds- men urging that the appointment be made as soon as possible. One of the bondsmen is ex-Senator Felton. Meanwhile Deputy Postmaster Doyle is conducting the office. ANGELL STILL HAS A CHANCE. by and The State Department Trying to Remove the Objactions of Turkey to the New Munister. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, May 29.—The State Department is trying to remove Turkey’s objections to receiving Dr. An- gell of Michigan as Minister of tne United States. With proverbial reticence the de- partment has declined to make any state- ment about the attitude of the Porte. Some offici have gone even so faras to deny that there is anything to prevent the cordial reception of Angell at Con- stantinople, but their denial is merely technical, hinging on the difference be- tween the woras ‘‘formal” and ‘“unoffi- cial,” as applied in the Turkish repre- sentations. At the Turkish legation less equivocal explanations were given. It was said there that the State Department had been asked if certain statements attributed to Angell were true. What these statements are cannot be definitely ascertained further than that they are said to have been contained in a newspaper in‘erview with Angell and in a spesch delivered by him. Other things relating to Angell with which the Porte is dissatisfied con- cern his reported connection with religious organizations that have freely criticized the attitude of the Turkish Government regarding Armenia and the massacres of Christians. There is a conflict in [the information obtainable as to the manner in which the Porte’s inquiry was brought to the atten- tion of this Government. What appears to be the most reliable explanation is that Terrell cabled that the Porte was contem- plating refusal to receive Angell, but be- fore taking action had started an inguiry to ascertain whether he was correctly quoted. Angell came to Washington this week and told Secretary Sherman just what he had said and meant in the inter- view. This explanation was given the Turkish Minister here for transmission to the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Con- stantinople. The State Department professes to be- lieve that Angell will be persona grata to the Porte,but the Turkish legation qualifies with the word ‘“probable” its statement that Angell will be acceptable to the Sultan, —_——— T0 MAINTAIN ITS RIGHTS. Span Continues to Bluster While the Insurqents Gain Fresh V.ctories n Cuba. HAVANA, CusA, May 29.—A cable re- ceived from Madrid says that at the Cabi- net council much attention was paid to the attitude of the United States. The Government decided “firmly to maintain the rights of Spain in the island.” In Havana Province the Spanish forces of Baleares suffered a great defeat yester- day at Sitio Viejo and San Jose. The Cubans, under Cardenas and Arango, compelled the Spanish to retire, leaving in the field over 100 dead and wounded. Calhoun has sent to Washington an official report wholly confirming the de- scription of the situation made by Consul- General Lee. MADRID, Spars, May 20.—The Heraldo publishes a gloomy editorial upon the at- titude of the United States Government, which is preparing to intervene in behalf of “perfidious Cuba,” in the course of which it asks: “Will Spain swallow the pill, and what will be the consequence of this sad denouement of the Cuban ques- tion?’ WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29.—The Spanish Minister has reported to the State Department that another filibustering ex- pedition got away presumably Thursday night on the steamer Dauntless some- where between Charleston and Savannah. The expedision, according to the Min- ister’s statement, was composed of sixty men, who were to be transferred at sea to another vessel. He said the cargo con- sisted of guns and ammunpition and a Gatling gun was included. Another ex- pedition is reported to be preparing at Miami, near Cape Florida. Everything indicates that the friends of Cuba here are unprecedentedly active. It was stated at the White House to-day that Commissioner Calhoun intends leav- ing Havana Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, arriving at Washington on Friday. i S Will Not Enter a Monastery. PARIS, Fraxce, May 2).—The Figaro makes an emphatic denial that Duc & Alencon, whose wife perished in the charity bazaar fire, is about to enter a monastery. Joseph Kipp, also under arrest, has con- fes=ed to setting fire to the Alday home- stead. He says he did 8o at the instiga- tion of Mrs. Alday, who promised him in peyment a Jersey cow and $40. Alday was a wealthy man. His sons are con- testing his will, which gave most of his estate to his wife. They charge that he was poisoned. i 7 i 2l Httgg Ul Ty ) N : R \ %‘\'\‘\' : i WKL W YOLO'S PIONEER SETTLER. Career of the Late John R. Wolfskill, the Founder of Winters. WINTERS, CAL., May 29.—John' R. Wolfskill, the ploneer settler of Yolo County, who died early yesterday morning at the age of 93, was born in Kentucky in 1804. He argonauted o California in1838. Here his brother, Willlam Wolfskill, had & Mexican grant of 40,000 acres of land on part of which the city of Los Angeles now stands. % In 1841 the Mexican Government gave 1o John R. Wolfskill 14,000 acres of land known as the Rancho de Los Putos, Iying on each side of Putah creek, in Solano and Yolo countfes. He immediately moved to this tract and founded the American settlement In this part of the State. For fifty-six years he has been a central figure in this region. Of great strength of character, indomitable will and firm integrity, he was during the early days of California a leader of men and a strong factor in the settlement of the country. Up 10 a few hours of his death 'his mind wrs clear and vigorousend was stored with early reminiscences of a busy life. As people came to this part of the State to find homes, Mr. Wolfskill gradually sold his lands, and, unlike many grant-holders, was never a bar to the development of the country. Some ten yesrs sgo he dceded to each of his four children 1244 acres. The town of Winters and some two hundred other homes now occupy portions of the famous Wolfskill grant. A widow and four children survive him. The latter are Edward Wolfskill, Mrs. Samuel Taylor, Mrs, F. J. Bonny and Mrs. C. C. Councilman, all prominent in affairs of this region, .

Honest Old David Captures the Misslissippl Valley Selling Stake. MORRIS PARK, N. Y., May 29.—Be- fore an immense crowd of enthusiastic racegoers the bright copper and gold col- ors of the millionaire Montana turfman, Marcus Daly, were carried to victory to- day in the classic Belmont stake worth $3200 cash and a $1000 plate by Scottish Chieftain, with Scherrer in the saddle.

The rich Brooklyn handicap over a mile and & quarter, one of the severest tests of speed and endurance to which a thoroughbred can be put, will be decided in the far East to-mor- row, the ovening day at the Brooklyn race- track. The probabie winner is speculated on months before the race comes to an issue, ana interestin the big event is general througn- out the country. The probable starters, with the weights assigned by the handicapper aud the jockeys who wiil ride are: Handsoring 125 '(Sims), Harry Reed 114 (Taral). Ben Eder 113 (Thorpe), Helmac 121" (I, Bloan), The Winner 115 (H. Martin), Lake Shore 105, Sly Fox 110, Loki 108 (J. Hill), Free Advice 108 (Seherer), Merry Prince 100, King Arthur 1198, Sir Waiter 115 (Doggeit), Volley 95 and Jeffer:on 88. Requital was to have been a starter, and the triends of the son of imp. Eothen were legion, but his recent poor showing with Hahdspring probably caused his withdrawal. The two carrying the colors of George E.Smith (Pitts- burg Phil), Belmar and The Winner, are nicely located at the weights, and will be heavily supported. Dr. McLean has sent his slashing big colt Loki on from the West, and the South- ern contingent will presumably string is coin his way. He has been traveling great guns in private, and with J. Hiil In the saddle, may furnish the Easteners a surprise. Handspring though, the slashing big son of Hanover, has been geiting over the ground in a way to tickle the fancy of Trainer McCabe, and the horse that beats him will probably earry away the prize. Slaughter continues his winning lick in the saddleat St. Louls, scarcely a day passing that he does not get two or three mounts past the finishing post in front. Duriug the three weeks’ period of racing at Morris Park, David Gideon headed the list of winning owners, withover$13,000 to his credit. Jjames K. Keene' was fourth 'on the list with $4395 and Marcus Daly fiith, his horses plac- ing $4392 to the Montans turfman’s credit. Crawley Thorpe is evidently not in the best of standing in the far East. An Eastern report says that one day last week ho gave a ghastly exhibition astride Storm Queen, snd it is un- derstood from high authority that the first bad break the young man indulges in will re- sult in & rigid dose of discipline. Humbug, a recent winner at Louisville, owned by J. E. Madden, is said to be more than s useful selling plater. B Five- Vile koad Rdce at SBan Jose.
