§ bt | S—— THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 27, 1897. 3 PETTIGREW LOSES POWER OF SPEECH Stricken in the Midst of an Impassioned Outburst. Was Arraigning Republican Senators for Subserviency to Trusts. His Condition at First Alarming, but | He Finally Regains His Volce. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 26.—The proceedings of the Senate to-day were marked by a very dramatic incident. The silverite Senator of South Dakota, Petti- grew, was arrsigning the Republican Sen- ators in & most energetic and impassioned style for their subserviency to trusts and caucus orders, when, in the middle of a sentence, he suddenly stopped. He made s few feeble efforts to continue, butwas unable to articulate another word, and was finally led out of the hall and taken home. The Senate had been acting on para- graphs that had been passed over in the discussion and sections of several sched- ules already adopted. In paragraph 78 the duty on china clay or kaolin was made $3 a ton. Platt of Connecticut moved to add to the paragraph a provision for a similar duty on “fuller's earth,” wrought or manufactured. He spoke in support of the motion and referred to a little refining mill running in Connecticut being repre- sented on the Finance Committee and getting all it wanted, while the producers of fuller's earth were left out in the cold. “I wonder,” Pettigrew exclaimed, pas- sionately, “‘whether there is any cross- roads institution in Connecticut that is so thoroughly taken care of by this bili? If | there be any itis an oversight. And so | Pennsylvania gets $3 a ton on china clay? I suppose it is because the Senator from that State has four busheis of manuscript ana has told the committee he will bring it here unless he gets what he wants.” Pettigrew then turned upon the New Fogland Senators, who acted, he said, on the principle of enlightened seif-interest. He understood very well the arrangement about fuller’'s earth and kaolin. He knew that an increased duty would be given to the manufacturers of the clay of Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey and to the Connec- ticut mill that ground fuller’s earth, while those wha produced it would be left out. Platt of Connecticut replied, intimating that Pettigrew’s impetuosity was due to the fact that a bed of fuller’s earth had recently been found in Dakota. This angered the South Dakota Senator still more, and he said with great rapidity and passion: “The Senator from Connecti- cut speaks of protectionists in spots. Well, if in order to be a protectioniet all over one must vote a duty of 700 per cent on & cheaper article and 10 per cent on a higher-priced one, then Iam a protection- ist onlg.in spots. If I am to vote for a duty on sugar purely and absolutely in the interest of the most corrupt and demoral- izing trust ever organized, and do it at the behest and dictation of a political caucus, in order to be a protectionistall over, then Iam only a protectionist in spots. When New England made a trade with the cot- | MeD ton Senators from the South for the pur- pose of putting a duty on raw cotton and breaking up the solid South, she aban- | that the armendment be disagreed to and that the item retained, Paragraph 14, relating to coal tar dves or colors not specially provided for was changed so as to make the daty 30 per cent ad valorem, and on all other products or preparations of coal tar not medicinal 20 per cent. Paragraph 16 was amended to make the duty on collodion and all-compounds of pyroxolin 50 cents a pound; unpolished and not made up into articles, 60 cents; it in finishe! or partly finished articles, 65 cents and 25 per cent ad valorem. Paragraph 22 was amended to make the duty on - gelatin, isingiass or fish glue, when valued at not above 10 cents a pound, 214 cents a pound: above 10 cents, 25 per cent ad valorem; above 35 cents, 15 cents a pound and 20 per cent ad valorem. The next open paragraph (38) was olive 0il. The House rate was 50 cnts a gallon; the Finance Committee rate, 35 cents. Allison moved to make it 40 cents. Agreed to. Paragraph 47 was modified so as to make the rates of ocher and ochery earth, 14, 3 and 134 cents a pound. Paragraph 53 was modified, 80 as to make the rates on phosphorus 15 cents; on soda ash, £ 10 3 cent, and on arsenate soda 114 cent. The last open paragraph of the chemical schedule (81) was amended to read ‘‘va- nilin,” 80 cents an ounce. Allison offered an additional paragraph, which was agreed to, putting a duty of 50 cents s pound on tonka beans, $2 on vanilla beans and $1 on vanilla beans known as “cuts.” Paragraph 66 (gypsum) was passed over without action. In paragraph 88 (unwrought clays or earths), the duty on China clay or kaolin is made $3 ton, limestone rock, asphalt and bitumen $1 50, 1f dried or advanced $3, and on crude bauxite §L. On motion of Platt of Connecticut “fuller’s earth, wrought or manufac- tnred, $3 a ton,” was added to paragraph Pottigrew of South Dakota moved to add also * fuller’s earth, unwrought or unmanufactured, §2 a ton.” While speaking on this motion Petti- grew suffered a slight stroke of paralysis, as reported elsewhere. Discussion, how- ever, went on without any break in the proceedings, and the * fuller's-earth” paragraph went over without action At 3 o'clock the bill was laid aside and after a short executive session the Senate adjourned. KEY WEST WHITES NOW IN CONTROL Sturdy Citizens Come to the Relief of the Militia. The Desperate Negro Mobs Subdued, but Still in Ugly Mood. Tampa WIll Send a Contingent, as Further Troub'sa Seems In- evitable. KEY WEST, Fra., June 2.—A strong ediorial in the Key West Heraid had the | eftect of bringing out 200 determined white last might, who armed themselves | and took possession of the armory, thus subduing the negroes. Sylvanus Johnson, the mnegro who as- doned the only issue that gave the Re. | uited Mrs. Atwell, had a preliminary publican party character. All that the Republican party stands for to-day is—' The sentence was never completed. The Senator'stopped. He made an effort to articulate, but failed to do so, and for some seconds stood wavering, while all eyes were turned upon him in sympathy. Quickly, but without excitement, Carter of Montana approached him and inauced him to take a seat, and after a minute or 80 accompanied him out of the chamber. The passionate energy whicn he had thrown into his speech had overpowered him. Pettigrew was assisted to the cloak- room, where he rested in a chair. As he did not recover the use of his voice a physician was sent for. In the meantime a hasty examination was made by some of the Senators who have practiced medi- cine, and they expressed the opinion that the South Dakota Senator had ruptured a small bloodvessel in the brain, roducing paralysis. | Dr. Bayne came finally and examined | Pettigrew. He pronounced the Senator’s silment facial paralysis, and did not con- sider it serious. After an hour’s rest in the cloakroom Pettigrew was able to walk to his committee-room, and was finally | ariven home. H Dr. Bayne said to-night that the stroke from which Senator Pettigrew suffered | was probably caused by the rupture of a small blood vessel, followed by the forma. tion of a blood ciot. The Senator’s man ner of speech favored this result. He car- | ried his head forward at an angle with the | body, compressing the vessels in the neck. 1‘ He spoke with tremendous energy under | the pressure of great excitement. His visage wx fiery red, and his voice pene- trated-to Phe corridors of the surrounding chamber, 5o that passers-by stopped to in- quire who was talking. While the Senator was in the cloak- room hg was able to mutter a few words, but after leaving the Capitol his power of speech was utterly lost. The ability of his system te absorb the clot, Dr. Bayne said, would determine the issue of the attack., It might disappear in a sbor:- time, en- abling the Senator to appear on Monday, but it might resist all efforts of the sys- tem to remove it. When the doctor leit the patient to- might Senator Pettigrew’s condition was slightly_improved, and he believed the prospects for his recovery were good. In the course of the evening Senator Pettigrew rapidly improved and fully ré- covered the use of his vocal organs. A number of Senators called and were grati- fied to learn of his improved condition from his own lips. No further trouble is apprehended. S JARIFF BILL'S PROGRESS, Another Day of Smooth Sailing for the Finance Commiitee. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 26.—Con- sideration of the tariff bill was resumed in the Senate at 11:45 and. the passed over paragraphs taken up seriatim. The first open matter was the date when the bill should go into effect, but Allison said that action would not be taken on that point now. The next open question was *‘sali- cylic acid, 10 cents a pound.” The Finance Committee had recommended siriking it out, but now Allison moved | orwithout removal. J, Noonas, 1017-1028 Misston, | giyen him an extensive knowled, hearing this morning and Mrs. Atwell identified him. Johnson says there were three others with him, but he could not give their names. The Sheriff’s posse, assisted by the local militia, have dis- persed all the crowds. Three negroes have been arrested. Several leaders rioting will be arrested and trouble may follow, but the citizens are prepared for it. The negroes held Jackson Square last night and defied the whites. There were abont 500 of them, well armed. The Sheriff’s posse, in response to the news- with the militia in front. The mub saw them coming and yielded and soon the square was in tne possession of the whites. The deputies in the jail feel greatiy re- lieved at this turn of affairs, as many of the negro leaders had debated a plan of breaking into the armory and taking the guns. After posting a strong guard in- side the armory and jail, the militia and most of the posse spent the night at the City Hall. A mobsoon gathered around the jail again. Ata late hour they began firing on of the side streets, and the Sher- iff went out to disperse them. They re- fused to give way, and he fired at the leader, wounding him. Tue leader was seen to fall, but was carried off quickly. The negroes returned the fire, but their aim was wild, and none of the ‘whites ere bariaed, The negroes have had small bands out 11 to-day in the neighborhood of the jail, nd in the suburbs several excited meet- ings have been held. Their leaders advo- cate more fighting, declaring that they can sweep the island. The whites received word from Tampa 10-day that a contingent from there would come over on the next steamer. Late to- night there are many rumors on the streets, and the militia have been ordered to keep under arns, ASBOCIA1ES OBJECT, But It Is daid Frohman Nill Remain Permanently in England, NEW YORK, N. Y., June 26.—It is now the theatrical manager, wiil close out his interests here and remain permanently in England. He will dispose of his theatrical properties here as soon as he can find a purchaser. Frohman, Al Hayman, Klaw & Erlanger and Nixon and Zimmerman form the ‘“trust’” which controls more than fifty of the principal theaters in this country, and it is said his associates in this scheme were very much opposed to Frohman’s plan to leave the country. Two of them have yone to England to persuade Froh- man to abandon the scheme. R g Father and Son Killed by an Ezplosion. BROCKTON, Pa., June 26.—Adam Leck and son were instantly killed this morn- ing by a boiler explosion. The people in the vicinity were greatly startle¢ by the noise of the explosion. The two Lckl were at work near the boiler at the time the accident happened. It is supposed that the water got too low in the boiler and 8o caused the frightful mishap. —_—————— ADVANCES mi on furniture and pianos, with in Thursday night’s | paper's call for aid, marched to the jail | practically settled that Ckarles Frohman, | UNCLE SM MUST CONTROL THE ROAD Resoclution for Paying the Prior Liens on Union Pacific. Morgan Gives Reasons Why the Sale Should Be Prevented. Protests Against Letting the Prop- erty Go for the Paitry Sum of $26,000,000. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 26.—The acting chaplain of the Senate in the open- Ing prayer this morning sai There are signs of returning prosperity and the long ana widespread period of depression is passing.” Harnison of Kansas reported from the Pacific Railroad Committee the resolution agreed upon as to the Government paying off prior liens on the Union Pacific Rail- roads. It declares it the sense of the Sen- ate that the President should direct the Secretary of the Treasury to carry out the provisions of the law by redeeming or otherwise clearing off paramount liens and mortgages prior to the Government lien anp paying them out of the treasury. It also asks for a suspension of the pro- ceedings to carry into effect the agree- ment to sell the interest of the United States in the property until after further action by Congress. Harris read the re- port, which was signed by himself, Mor- gan and Rawlins. Morgan said that, although the resolu- tion was the unanimous report of the committee, three members had chosen to state their views specifically in the report just read. He did not know there any difference of opinion in the commit- | tee on the proposition, and did not well see how this could be. The agreement made by the executive of the last admin- istration was in process of execution and would very soon beconsummated if the court should feel itself warranted in giy- ing any value ‘o that agreement, which was a plain, palpable breach and viola- tion of the statute. The Senate under- | stands the weight of executive power and influence in courts, in Congress and among the people. It was necessary now that the Senate should express its views on the subject at | the earliest possible day, 3o the court might understand whether the Senate ex- pected to retain all the rights of the Gov- ernment and people against the agree- ment to sell property, which to-day was perfectly solvent and perfectly able to pay every dollar it owed, for the paltry sum of Morgan gave notice that he would move on Monday to proceed with the consid- eration of the resolution, as there was no | possible way of reaching the matter except | by a resolution repudiating the action of | the executive. He assumed that neither courts nor other departments of the Gov- ernment would undertake to venture in | the face of the report just made to sacri- | fice the great Union Pacific property for $26,000,000 under a void contract.

Helen Kol:r, the Famous Blind Mute, Preparing to Pass Difficult Examinations. BOSTON, Mass., June 26.—Next Tues- day, when the Radcliffe entrance ex- aminations begin, Helen Keiler, the famous blind mute, will offer herself for nine hours of work. All this past year Miss Keller has been an earnest student at Arthur Gilman’s Cambridge school, where she entered last fall, accompanied by her friend and constant companion, Miss Sullivan, with the distinct intention of preparing for Radcliffe. Mr. Gilman saw his way clear to everything except the entrance examination in experimental physics. He spoke to Graham Bell of his doubts upon this subject, but Mr. Bell assured him that he would finda way, and now indeed he thinks that by substituting the alternatives, textbook physics and elementary astronomy of the experiments, Miss Keller's Kadcliffe preparation may be compassed. Marvelous are the powers of this young girl, who will celebrate her seventeenth birthday on Sunday. With German, French, Latin and history she is already familiar, and her English compositions are clearly and forcibly written, with an admixture of sense and sensibility rarely found in one so young. Her appreciation of everything that is brought te her atten- tion is wonaerfully keen, and she has the most indomitable enthusiasm for study. In the fall she will begin the study of Greek, the textbooks for which are now being prepared for her use. The examinations of next week will be read to her by Mr. Gilman, and she will write the answers upon the typewriter, in the use of which she is an expert. These will be the preliminary examinations; for the finals she will probably wait a number of years, since all her education is to be conducted in a leisurely fashion and with as little fatigue and fuss as possible, Her study does not in the least impair her healih, and Miss Keller to-day is a fine specimen of a well-developed young woman. BIES AT BOIES FOESAKES FREE COINAGE, Letter From Iowa’s Ex-Govermor That Causes Consternation. DES MOINES, Iowa, June 26.—Ex-Gov- ernor Boies, a candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination for President last year, has practically renounced free coinage at 16 tolin a letter of 5000 words, written for the campaiga book of Colonel D. M. Fox of this city. The article was made public by Fox to-day, although General Weaver and other silver leaders objected, fearing its effect on the State campaign. The article by Boies is headed **The Curse of a Monstrous Crime pon Us.” He suggests that the Government accept all silver bullion offered at its mints and for it issue paper representatives, to be determined in siver and gold at fuil market price. Fox considers Boies' backsliding so seri- ous that he follows the article in his book with an answer, in which he says, “This can only mean that the paper representa- tive shall be redeemed in buliion at its market value in gold, which is the same thing as redeeming it in gold. Is this not virtually a gold standard 2’ Fox bas had the letter for some time, but until to-day refused to give itout. The knowledge of its contents spread among the silver Republicans the day be- fore th comvention last Wednesday and had moch to do with the defeat of Boies for the gubernatorial nomination. — TREOSOPHIS!S AT CHICAGO, Eleventh Amnual Convention of the So- ciety Meets To-Day. CHICAGO, ILn, June 26.—To-morrow and Monday the American section of the Theosophical Society will assemble in eleventh annual convention in this eity.

GHASTLY FIND OF THWO BOYS, Headless and Legless Fody Fished Out of East River. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 26.—The hendless and legless body of a man, wrapped first in cheesecioth, then in brown paper and finally in an ordinary linen tablecloth, was found in East River to-day by two boys piaying on a pier. There was absolutely nothing about the body to furnish a clew to his identity, and the police put forth the usual surmise that medical students, having removed the head and legs for dissecting purposes, had disposed of the trunk by tossing it into the river. To-night, however, doctors of the Belle- vue Hospital staff summoned by ihe morgue-keepers said positively that the man had not been dead more than thirty- six hours, and that the decapiiation and severing of the limbs coula not have been the work of medical students unless they were crazy. it had been done in a bungling manner and gave evidence of foul play. Detectives have been on the case since the body was found, but late to-night the mystery was still unsolved. e s OCEAN GKOVE REVIVAL, Large Gathering at the Famows Camp- Meeting Kesort, OCEAN GROVE, N.
