Session of the House Isto Act on Tariff and Financial - Legislation Only. Morgan WI Introduce a Resolu- tion to Test the Constitution= ality of Business Transacted. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—The Republicans in the House, including the Speaker and the Committee on Rules, are not Gisconeerted by the attacks made upon them and their lesislative programme by a portion of the Democratic side under the present leadership of Jlepreseutatives James Hamilton Lewis of Washington and Jerry Simpson of Kansas. In Ins speech to-day Kepresentative Grosvenorcharacterized the bombardment of the Republican side as throwing paper wads. The Republicans insist that the House is in session merely for the pur- pose of carrying out the President’s rec- ommendation in regard to the tariff and financial legislation, and there is now no secret about their intention of following | r unding it are a complete surprise to :he | He was supposed to have been | the passage of the tariff bill in the Senate by the enactment of a measure authoriz- ing the appointment of a currency com- mission in accordance with the recom- mendations of the President’s inaugural message. It is not likely thers wili be the authorization of this commission. It is weil understood that the pro- gramme of the leaders is to pass the tar ff and currency commission bi'ls and ad- journ. The House leaders laugh at the claim of Senator Morgan that the House is not constitutionally in session because it adjourned for three dsys when without a_quorum, but Morgan intends to force the question to debate and insists that he will keep it before the Senate until the Judicial Committee shall formally pass upon it. He will very shortly, probably to- morrow, introduce a resolution providing | that Congress Is mot constitutionalls or- | | | { | | { | [ | ized and have it referred to the Judi- Committee. Lindsay of Kentucky, a good lawyer and member of this committee, referring to-day to Morgan’s intended resolution, said: believe the committes will sustain the contention of Morgan. The constitu- tion clearly defines the power of the House as well as that of the Senate. [t says that either house can transact business with a quorum and that if a quorum is not . present either house can take steps tosecure one. It also says that without & quorum eitber house can ad- journ over fcom day to day. This seems 10 fix the power of the House. 1f now tie House can adop: arule which is para- mount to the constitution, which can set aside and suspend the constitution, there will be no guestion as to the legality of the tar.ff bill or anv other measure which might be passed by this Congress. my part, however, 1 don’t think it is con- siilutional for eit:er house to adjourn over more than one day in the absence of a quorum, and that by o doing any mea- sure we might pass will be jeopardized. I believe the Judiclary Commwmittee will up- hold the point made by Morgan should the resolution come before it. I believe the Supreme Court. would sustain the contention as well." S s SESSION OF THE HOUSE. Frorisions in the Aundry Cieil Appro- priation as Adopted. WASHINGTON, D. Juze 1.—When the House met to-day after recess, in con- tinuation of the Monday session, Lewis of Washington - inquired if he might tem- vorarily withdraw his demand for the ayes and noes and read from the record of the Fifty-third Congress to inform the House what took pluce then. The Speaker replied he might not, and directed the clerk to proceed with the call of the roll. This was the order of busi- ness Thursday last’ when the Hou:e ad- journed, the vote then taken having shown the lack of aquorum. The Speaker had refused to entertain as a matter of privilege Lewis’ resolution regarding the right and duty of the House to act upon the Margan resolution recognizing the belligerency of the Cuban revolutionists, and Lewis had appealed from the decision. Dingley moved! i0 lay tbe appeal on the table, and on that motion an appeal was taken. ‘Ihe appeal was tabled to-day by a vote of &8 io 56. The Senate joint resolution was agreed to providing transportation of grain and otler articles for the reliet of famine suf- ferers of India in any vessel the Secretary of the Navv can secnre, and for $275.000 to keep the Governmen: Printing Office in operation until June 30. In the debate on these orders the minor- ity; under the lead of Richardson of Ten- riessee and Simpson of Kansas, renewea the criticism of the policy of the majority in not appointing‘committees. Vigorous replies were made by Hender- son of Towa, who described the ‘‘boiling over from the realms of Kansas" as *‘hell in a tespot,”’ and Grosvenor of Ohio, who anuounced’ the Republicans’ purpose was to continue in the-course so far pursued. Both denounced the -repeated attacks upon the Speaker as unworthy of honor- able men, and assumed for the majority all the responsibility for the action of ihe Hou-e.

ATLANTIC LINERS MEET IN A FOG The Hekla Plows Into the Mississippi’s Port Quarter. may have been due to the Safe Return of the Latter, but the Hekla's Fate Is Uncertain. Among Her Cab'n Passengers Are Res.dents of Riverside and San Francisco. ' NEW YORK, N. Y., Juce L—The chances of the sea brought together in collision on Ma¥ 27 the Atlantic ransport line steamer Mississippi and the Thing- vella line steamer Hekla. To-day the Mississippi came into port with a hole in her port quarter which would have iet in a dray. The Hekla, which had sixty- seven cabin and 200 steerage passengers, signaled to the Mississippi that she was not injured below the water line and would put in at distant, but she has not got there yet. The Missisippi sailed for London May with six cabin passengers and a general rgo. She had an uneveniful voyage until last Thursday, when she ran ntoa | dense fog about 320 miles southeast of St. Jonns, N. F. A brisk breeze was blowing and a heavy tea. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon fog signals from another vessel were heard, but Captain Cannons was un- able to judge accurately where she lay. He kept his boat at half speed and sounded his own signals frequently. The Hekla struck tbe Missi-sippi on her port quarter with a tiemendous crash, end both were overheeled. From the Hekla's deck came shrieks and screams, seemed 10 he crowded with women, | who, a< che hecled over farther and fur- ther, scrambled mad with terror up the stepping to the deck, struggling fierce- Iy with each other. There was a loud re- port aloit as the foremast snapved ana | water began pouring over the starboard rail. “God help them; she's going!” crisd one of the ofticers of the Mississippi. For a moment the neeiing vessel poised; then slowly she began to right and the steady voice of her officers givinez orders could be heard sbove the - .amor of the terrified women. On the Mississippi the order had been given to sling out the boats, and every man was in his place ready for the worst. How the steamers got apart no one on the Britisher fully understands, but pres- ently the Hekla's invading bow receded from the mans of splinters that had been the rail and decking, and the Mississippi’s passengers, who bad stood on deck a little forward of where the Hekla struck, saw that her bow looked as if a monstrous set of teeth had- closed on it and that her prow was clean off. Slowly the Hekla sank away in the fog. Ot the Mississippi only her overhang had been injured. The vessels exchanged signals, in which the Hekla said she was able to proceed, -and then they parted. Among the Hekla's cabin passengers are several Westerners, including Mr. anu Mrs. N Cornelius of Riverside, Cal., rie Freese and C.

Questions Asked by the Sen- ate Commtttee Decided Not Pertinent. Nothing to Show That Money Con- tributed Influenced the Sugar Schedule. WASHINGTON, D. C., June L—John E. Searles, secretary of the sugar trust, was diz¢iarged to-day after Judge Brad- ley had orderea the jury to bring in a ver- dict of acauitiai and the order had been obeyed. In his decision dismissing Searies and declaring him not to be in contumacy, Judge Bradley said: “Any corporation has a right to make campaign contributions unless it is shown that the money has been used for corrupt pur- { poses. I do not think that the Senate in- vestigating committee had any right to | inquire into the private affairs of individ- uals, and doing so was beyond the power of the Senate.” Judge Bradley’s decision set forth that Searles had testified specifically that no money had been contriouted by the sugar 1 | trust to the National campai n or for the purpose of influencing legislation or the election of United States Senators. As t. the local contributions, Searles had tes: fied (hat he aid not know how the contri- butions had been used, by whom or for i what purpose, The questions pnt to the defendant were [clnnned to be pertinent to the second and third divisions of the Senatorial in- | | quiry, namely, as to whether the sugar trust had contribured sums’to campaign funds with the purpose af influencing the election ot United States Senators, and whether any Senator had been a party (o a compact with the sugar trast. ‘ The Judge said a simple investigation | as to whether the sugar trust had con- ‘lnbuled to the campaign fund would be an nnwarranted seirch into the private affairs of the company and plainly be- | yond the power of the Senate. The Sen- | ate committee hud reported no testimony | | had been produced to show that the sugar trust bad made any contributions to any | | National campaign jund or for tbe pur- | pose of affecting legislation. TIi money | had gone for the purpose of electing members of State Legisiatures who in time would elect a United States Senator it made it beyond the power of the United States Senate to go behind the | election of legislative members. If | were true as to State maters, how much | more true was it of local elections? It | would be the wildest conjecture to as- sume that the money so contributed in any way had gone to make up the sugar schedule. It appeared irom the report of the com- mittee that they were not in the posses- sion of any-facts upén which they could | base the most remote hope of showing an uitimate connection between the sugar trust’s contributions and sugar schedule. | Under these circumsiances it must be | heid that the questions asked were not | pertinent, and if construed to be pertinent, | they were an unwarranted pryinz into | | the affairs of the company, and thereiore | beyond the jurisdiction of the Senate. Judee Bradley, therefore, sustained the motion of the defense and ordered the jury to return a verdict of scquittal. The jury accordinely returned a verdiet of not | guilty, and Mr. Searies was iree. | Bearles was charged with having, June | 13, 1894, refused to siate the amount con- | uributea by the American Sugar Refining | Company in the political campaign of 1592 to the Democrat:ic party in New York State. Unlike Havemeyer, Searles made no reference 10 the books of his company, which were sately locked in its vaults in | New York city, but absolutelv refused to | auswer the questions. The evidence that secured Havemever's acquittal was there- fore of no service to Searles, and it wa thought that he would be convicted and forced to serve a jail sentence like Broker Chapman, who is now doing penance for an exactly similer rerusal. Two newsparer correspondents—Shriver | of the New York Mail and Express and | Edwards of the Philadelphia Press—are | also under indictment for refusing to an- | swer questions put by the Senate commit- tee and will be tried this week. PROGRESS OF THE TARIFF BILL. Senator Atdrich Is Much Encouraged ard Predicts lts Enac ment by the First of July. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1L.—As soon asthe Benate journal was read the cre- dentials of the new Senator from Soath Carolins, McLaurin,were presented, and, attended by Senator Tillman, he was | sworn in. The tariff bill. was taken up at 12:25 Purgravh 90, relating to china, which had been passed over last week: was taken up and the committes amendment withi- drawn, leaving the duty at 55 per cent. Vest, referring to this and the next paragraph _relating to all other china and crockeryware, deciared that the proposed duties * were absolutely. prohibitory, the paragraph giving the market entirely to American manufacturers. Jones offered to paragraph 91 the same ;amendm.m he had offered to paragraph | 99. The amendment was rejected—ayes 21, noes32 On paragraph 83 (*il the committee amendment was withdrawn and a substi- tute agreed to. It was a mere modifica- tion of the House paragraph, leaving the duties the same. n paragraph 92the committee amend- ment was accepted. Paragraph 93 was amended 'so as to read: ‘‘Gas- Tetorts, $3 each; lava tips, 3 cents _per gross -and -15 per cent ad valorem.” Paragraphs 86, 87 and 88 (plaster of this | paris, pumice stone, etc.) were allowed to remain unchanged. Benator Davis offered an amendment to the bill restoring the House provision, which was stricken out by the Senate committee, that nothing in the bill shall im; the treaty with Hawaii. Senator Pritchard offered an amend- ment increasing the tariff on mica. On paragraph 94 (plain green or colored bottles, dem johns, etc.) the committee substitute was accented. On paragraph 105 (spectacles, eye- @lasses, etc.) Vest opposed ihe commitiee amendment. Whi e nioved to substitute for the com- mitiee's amendment the provision of the exisiing law putting a duty of 40 per cent on spectacles. White’s motion was re- jected—aves 19, noes 29. The commiitee amendments to par grapns 105, 106, 107, 108 anc 110 were ac- cepted; also its amenament to paragraph 111, making the duty on onyx $150 per cubic foot, Rawlins of Utab and W uite of California voting with-the Repuulicans. Paragraphs 112, 113, 114 and 115 were then adop ed after Vest had vainly moved for reductions. At schedule C(metals and manufac- tures of metals) the bill was laid aside after inquiry from White a< to whether the new sugar schedule was to’be pre- sented in ample time to allow Senators to understand it before being taken up, and the Senate then adjourned till Lo-morrow. Senator Aldrich, in charge of the tariff bill, was so much encouraged by the prog- ress made to-day that he predicts it will be passed and agreed to in conference committee by the 1st of July. Senator Gorman now says that the con- sideration of the bill in the Seunate will be concluded in two weeks, S — CHASE OF THE DAUNTLESS. Exciting Story Told by One of the Crew.
