After Leaving the Sen- ate Tariffs Will Be Agreed Upon. McKinley to Send a Message Askingfor Powerto Appoint aCurrency Commission. After Disposing of the Revenue and | Financlal Measures Congress Wil AdJourn In July. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 7.—Sena- tor Aldrich has notified the President that the tariff bill will pass the Senate and be | ready for the conference commitiee ob or | about the 21st of this month. Reed has informed the President that the confer- ence committee will not take more than a week for the consideration of the bill. On the strength of this information the President is determined to send a special message to Congress on or about the 221, asking for power to appoint a currency commission of not more than fifteen mem- bers, his idea being to bring the matter before Congress and enabie that body to discuss the measure and vote upon it while the tariff bill is in conference, so Congress will be able to pass the tariff bii! and the currency commission resolution about the same time and adjourn early in July. Secretary Gage said to-day, from in- formation received by him from leaders in Congress, he believed the American people would be presented with a new tariff s a Fourth of July present. The only thing that may deter the President from bringing the currency question fo the attention of Congress at this session is a fear that if the finan discussion is once startea it isapt to get beyond control of the Republican leaders in the Senate and House and continue during the remainder of the summer. ie or no difficaity would be encoun- | tered in passing the bill in the House, In the Senate, however, the fri-nds of the ad- ministration measure would be at the mercy of the Democrats and Populists, who would not permit a vote to be taken unti! they had talked 10 their bearts’ con- tent. The Republicans in hoth houses see their way clear in following up the tariff bill with a currency-commission measure. | The President wiil recommend such ac- tion, otherwise he may think it best to let Congress adjourn as soon as the tariff bill becomes a law. e FROM TIMBEK 10 SILVER. Senators Engage in 4ll Kinds of D cussions. | WABHINGTON, D. C., June 7.—Quite a | lively turn was given the Senate tariff de- | bate this afternoon by Hoar of Massachu- tis. Bacon of Georeia had spoken in | favor of a duty on lumber as according to Democratic tenets, and Caffery of Louis- iana had opposed it as un-Democratic. Hoar thersupon referred to the pecu- liarities of the way some Democrats acted on the tariff. Caffery’s idea of tariff, he said, was a duly on ‘‘sugar, sugar and nothing else.” He added that Caffery was so anxious for & protective duty on sugar when the Wilson bill was being consid- ered that when the vote was taken he first cast his vote against the House LIl asa protest and before the completion of the call changed to yes. Hoar said Bacon wanted protection and revenue to go hand in hand when it came io the duiy on lumber. If the Democratic side could | make a tar:ff bill it wouid be found that | everything in their own States would be protected. Bacon asked Hoar what he would do about a duty on hides. Hoar said he would support a tariff bill if it contained a duty on hides which his colleagues thought proper. He said he thought a duty of a cent a pound on hides was not protection, and from that point of view was folly. Stewart insisted that while there was a duty on the products of leather there should be protection on hides for the bemefit ¢f the farmers who were subject to competition from South America, Caffery defended his vote in the Wilson bill, saying it was a protest against the action of his own side in changing the time when the bounty should be repealed. He said while he might have deceived himeelf on the tariff, he did not, like Hoar, deceive others. Hoar confessed that the duty on hides was absurd, but only because 1t was not high enough to do any good. Allen said Hoar's statement that the proposed duty on hides was only 1 cent was not correct. He then continuved the d-bate on the lumber schedule. ‘When the debate opened Quay of Penn- sylvania presented several av:endments to the tariff bill. One of them proposes to strike out the duty of tea and substitute a duty of 10 jer centad valorem on all arti- cles proposed by the bill to be placed on the free list, these duties to continune until July 1, 1901, after which the articles shall be exempt from duty. Another amend- ment proposes & proviso to the paragrayh fixing a duty on 1ron ore so that all iron ore from foreign mines owned by Ameri- can citizens and imported for their own use and not for sale shall be exempt from duty. The consideration of the tariff bill was resumed soon after the session opened, and the discussion proceeded on the para. graph placing a duty of §2 per 1000 feet on lumber, Alen moved to substitute the provi- sions of the Wilson bill, which placed lumber on the free list. The Senator spoke in particular against restoring white pine 10 the dutiable list, urging that the retes were designed to be probib- itory against Canadian pive. There was nothing, he eaid, in the ‘clap-trap argu- ment of American high wage: wa_es of lumbermen in Ca were, on the whole, higher. This was simply an attempt to pay back to the lumber syndi- cate the advance which it had possibly made less than a year ago, and in the ey of every honest man was nothing short of absoiute larcenv—legsiized larcony. Berry-of Aikansas spoke againat restor- ing the duty on white pine, He had been appealed to by 1he lumber interusts of his cwn State to, support the duty, but he coulid not do it when it laid such heavy tribute on the agricuitufal people of the ‘Western States. Berrv expressed his as- tonishment that any Democratic Senator lm;:ld support this restoration of duty on abor. Bacon of Georgia, who Is supporting the lumber duty, reminded Berry that his (Bacon's) support was due to the fact that the duty was a revenue rather than a pro- tective rate. Berry responded with a vehement ar- raignment of the bill, framed, be said, in 1he interest of every trust and combina- tion in the couniry, When he saw that the bili gave large increase of duty to the sugar trust and 10 every other combina- tion of capital he felt convinced that the measure was framed distinct'y on lines of protection and not of revenue. The discussion went on for some time, veering from lumber to hides. In the course of it Alien spoke of *‘thousandsand thousands of millionaires” on the Atlantic coast. “How many millionaires?” Chandler asked, with an air o! surprise. “About 4000,” Alien saia. “I do not know that the Ssnator from New Hamp- shire is one of them. I hope not. A third of a century ago and before the in- troduction of proective duiies there was no millionairte who had grown rich through manufactures.” Thurston and Spooner defended pro- tective duties. Spooner spoke of the mag- nitude of the lumber industry, 0,000,000 being invested in it, and giving employ- ment in its various depariments to 100 000 | men, so that neariy 3,000,000 people were depending on it. He could not understand how any Senator could arrive at the con- ciusion that it was fair or just or logical to tuke the duty off white pine and keep it on the spruce and hemlock of Maine, the yellow pine of -Arkansas and the South and the timber of California, Wash- ington and Oregon. 5 bard (R.) of North Carolina said that while Northern men had been sup- porting tariffs that encouraged the indus- tries of ihat section the Soathern men had been wise enough to do so. Asa representative of the Siate of North Caro- lina he proposed, as far as he could, to have his State put on an equality with the States of the Northeast and ive it equal advantage with them. Gray denied the right of North Carolina or any other State to levy tribute on the veople of non-timber growing States. He called it “despotism of wealth.” In reply | to some remarks oy Wilson of Washing- | ton, to whom he bad yielied for a few minutes, Gray declared that freedom of | trade ought to be the rule, and protection an exception. _ “Why do you araw lineg’” Tilln in, ““atthe free coinage of silver? laughter.] Free coinage of silver,” Gray replied pleasantly, “like fluwers th: bloom 1n | the spring, has nothing to do in the case, T think that protection and free silver ought to go together; they belong to the same ciass of econom Both want to raise the vrices by la “‘May I ask the Seuator & question?” Stewart of Nevada broke in® b about iree silver?”’ Gra h of sarcasm. reiorted. ‘1 am not going to ask you a question about what you cannot understand.

All the | Republicans voted in the negative, as did | these Democr. acon, Clay, McEnerny, | McLauren, Martin, Rawhns, Tiliman and | White. | Allen moved as a substitute for the | wood schedule the provisions of the exist | inglaw, Thi: was rejected—2I to 37. | All the paragraphs of the scheduie hav- | ing been disposed of, Vest inquired of Al | lison _as to whether ths sugar schedule | would be brought up to-morrow. Allison | replied that some changes would possibly | be made in that schedule by the fizance | Committee and that these changes might or might not b: ready to-morrow; tnat Aldrich desirea to be present whiie the sugar schedule was under discussion. But he hund been ill for a week or so and might or might not be able 1o be present to-morrow ; that if the sugar schedule was not ready the tobacco schedule would be | taken up and failing that, the agricul- tural schedule. Jones (D) of Arkansas, complained of the ambiguity of Allison’s statement and asked him to state definitety whether the sugar scnedule would or would not come up to-morrow. Thereupon Allison gave notice that the sngar schedule woula be passed over to-morrow and that the to- bacco sehedule would come up. Quay zave notice that 1o-morrow would submit amendments. One is to strike out the seciion putting a duty on leather, substi'uiing for it the section put- ting a duty of 10 per cent on all articles on the free list, and the other is 1o add to the varagraph as to the iron ore provision that all iron ore produced in foreizn coun- tries from mines owned by citizens of the Unites States or by corporaticns or part- nerships, controlling 1inierest of which is held by citizens of the Un ted States imporied for their own use and not sale shall be exempt from duty. Platt of New York presented twenty protests, containing several thousand si natures of citizens of New York, Brooklyn, and otuer citiesof New York State, against the proposed increase oi the beer tax. — CAUCUS OF KEPUBLICANS, Variow: Changes in the Tariff Sohedule to Ba Considered. WASAINGTON, D. C., June 7.—A caun- cus of Republicen Senators is called for to-morrow, at whica time it is probable the changes in the tariff bill agreed upon at the recent conference of the leaders will be discussed and if possible indorsed. | These changes include increased rates in the wool schedule, in accordance with the new draftarawn by Warren of Wyomng, the restoration of ecific instead of ad valorem rates in the sugar scheaule, and the abandoument of the increased duty of 44 cents s barrel on beer. The proposition 10 place a 10 per cent duty on tea will also be considered, as well as the proposed duty of $2 on white pine. The Repub- licans are confident that ali the aiffer- ences of opinion will be amicably arranged in the caucus, so that nothing will inter- fere with the programme of disposing of the bill promptly. the broke [G neral dtection on | e.

T., to-day, James Williams, editor of the Daily Chronicle, was shot through the beart by Clarence Douglass, an Ardmore politician, in the presence of hundreds of people. Douglass’ name was signed to an article written in Josh Billings style which ap- peared in the Chronicle recently. His name was not mentioned therein, but his political character was held up to ridicule and his political ambitions referred to hu- morously. When Douglass met Williams he ac- cused him of the authorship of tke ob- jctionavle article, ana Williams laugh- ingly admitted that he had written i, whereupon Douglass immediately drew his gun and fired. “My Go !, Douglass, don't ki!l mel” ex- claimed Williams as he jumped back, but the bullet had already done its work. Tatense excitement prevails and Doug- lass would have fared iil had not the offi- cers hustied him away. Williams leaves a wile and eight children and they are crazed with grief. Threats of lynching are heard and Douglass is kept under heavy guard.

E udes Detectives by Joining the Cubans, but a Leve-Letier Leads to H.s Cap ure. | CHICAGO, Iur., June 7.—Eugene B. | Purtelle of Milwaukee, who passed | through Chicago yesterday in charge of Detective Wallerman of the Milwaukee detective department, has led an exciting | life in his attempts to avoid arrest since | last fail. According to the story of the police the fugitive had been in Cuba, en- listea in the insurgent army, and was | captured in Havana by Spanish detect- ives while he was carrying dispatches of the rebel camp to the Junta. He told the | Spanish autborities a plausibla story and, | being an American eitizen, he was re- | leased aiter a short imprisonment in | Morro Castle. ! Except for a mistake made by the Mil- waukee authorities, Purielle wou d never have made his visit 10 Cuba. Detective Gard was in a_pawnshop one day la-t No- vember when Purtelle came in to pawn several diamonds. Purtelle 1s 20 ve:rs of age and speaks 'x lanzuazes. His man- ner and general appearance made the pawnbroker suspicious, and he called the | etective's attention to the customer. Gard took the man in and sent a message | to Milwaukee. But Purtelle was not| wanted there. The next day the Milwaukee authorities | learned that diamonds which agreed with | the description of those takin from Pur-| telle had been stolen from a lawver in that city. The bird had, bowever, flown. Purtelle went 1o Cuba last fall. He fought with the insurgerts and wassent to New York with dispatches to the Junta. He was shadowed by Spanisi spies in Havana, who arrested him on suspicion. He pro- tested his innocence, and showing that he was an American citizen he was given his freedom and went to New Orieans. On his arrival there he wrote a letter to his sweetheart in Milwaukee, and this led to his capture, L POSTAL DELEGAT 5 AT CHICAGO. Members of the Congress Warmly Wel- comed by Mayor Harrivon.

Brczilian Troops Ccpture the Rebel Stronghold After a Most Des- perate Bottle. NEW YORK, N. Y., June —The Herald’s Rio Janeiro special says: Canu- dos, the stronghold of the fanatics under Antonio Conselbeiro, has fallen, the Fed- eral troops having captured it after a des- | perate engagement with more than 6000 rebeis. The fanatics were strongly intrenched. At the beginning of the battle they gained some advantage and the first hurried re- ports to the Government presaged defeat. The Brazilian artilery, however, turned the tide and in the end the fanatics fled precipitateiy from their cover. They were pursned with great vigor and almost anaihilated. The victory was not gained, however, without serious loss, more than 300 Brazilians being kitled and wounded. Among the killed was Colonel Telles. President Moraes is so deeply chagrined at recent political incidents and diffi- calties, which have been caused by fac- tienal strife, that he will resign. S e A4 MANUFACIU ~D SENSATION.
