4 THE SAN'. FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1897. WILL VOTE T0-DAY 0N THE TARIFF After Six Weeks’ Labor the Measure Is Framed. IN SHAPE FOR ITS FINAL | PASSAGE. Parting Shots Exchanged by Senators in Closing Debate. NO BEET-3UGAR BOUNTY THIS SESSICN. To Avold Discussion and to Push the Bill the Amendment Is Tabled. WASHINGTON, D. C., Juiy 6.—Six| weeks ago to-day the Senate began con- | sideration of the tariff bill, the opening speech being made by Aldrich. Before adjournment to-morrow a vote will be tsken upon its final passage, unanimous consent having been given for that pur- pose to-nignt, The Republican Senatorial caucus to- dey aecided not to again present a bpeet- | sugar bounty amendment to the tariff | bil, and Senator Allison was authorized | to move to have the amendment offered by Senator Allen tabled. There was also a general agreament to take up the| Thurston beet-sugar bounty bill as an in- d-pendent measure the first thing after Congress meets next December. | The discussion in the caucus. bore en- | tirely upon the bounty matter. Senator | Aldrich was the first to make a general | outline of the course which was ulti- mately sgreed upon, including the pos poneme * of the entire question until nextD ¢ ber. Forah.. wggested that the entire ques- | tion showid bve left open, leaving each Republican Senator to cast his vote in the Senate as he should choose, independent | of party affi iations. He said that an ef- | fort to lay the amendment on the table | might lead to filibustering tactics and | cause more delay than would the opposite | course of permitting the amendment to £0 to vote on its merits. This view was antagonized by other Senators, who said the Democrats would | hold the bill up definitely, and as long as there wes any possibility of insuring a speedy vote the proper way was for the perty as a whole to sopport a motion to | table. Tnisopinion was so general that | Foraker did not press his motion and no | vote was taken upon it. Thurston, Perkius, Gear and other | Western Senators held out quite stiffly for the incorporation of the bounty pro- | vision in the tariff bill, but when the de- | cision was made against them they acqui- esced in it gracetully. When Allen was informed of the result of the Republican caucus he said bhe | would press his amendment to a vote, but | that he would not filibuster to prevent its being laid upon the tabie. He said 1t was not his purpose to prevent an early vote | on the bill, Without any preliminary business the | & Senate to-day proceeded to the considera- | tion of the tariff bill. Bacon made a per- sonal exp'anation of his vote yesterdar | for Milis’ amendment to impose a tax ot 5 per cent on all manufactured products. He had, he sz2id, given the amendment his | utensiis; Edwin Cant, Honolul vote without due consideration. If the imposition of such a tax could be confined | 1o the sugar trust and other gigantic con- | cerns existing in open violation of the law | it would commend itself to his judgment, | butas it would touch every village and | hsmlet in the Iand, laying its hand upon the most bumble, he frankly avowed his | regret for the vote cast yesterday. Bate of Tennessee then took the floor | and delivered a vet speech against the bill. | The Peitus amendment to the tariff bill | to prohibit the sugar trust from 1mport. ing sugar was lost, 26 to 33, After the sugar bounty amendment had | been taken up this alternoon Allen | charged that the Republicans in offering | the beet suzar bounty amendment were | simply “biufling,”” and that they had inti- | mated to the Democrats in advance that il they were properly frightened by threats of delay thev wouid probably surrender. Chilton offered the amendment to pun- ish manufacturers, dealers, or other per- sons who cause to be sent or transported in irterstate commerce articles of mer- chandise manufactured or controlied by truste, Butler of North Carolina arguea.that there were two great trust generators, and uniil they were removed trasts would flourish. These were the great railroad corporations (which discriminated by rebates) and the gold standard, They | were responsible lor ninety-nine out of | every hundred trusts. The amendment was rejected—aves 28, no-s 31, ~ Caftrey moved to amend paragraph 206 in the sugar schedule by striking out ihe d.fferential rate between raw ana refined sucars. Rejected—ayes 28, noes 34, Allen offered a beet-sugar-bounty amendment as orizinally proposed by Ai- lison, except that the word “‘vounty’’ was changed to “premium,” t:e rate of pre- mium being a quarter of acent a pound, the allowance to continue till July, 1903. As he was about 1o address the Senate, he was asked by Chandler whetber he uim- | self would vote tor the ameadment. He | said that was his purpose, and he asked | Allison whether anything had occurred to change the deiermination of the Repub- lican caucus in favor of a beei-s:gar bounty. *I hope,’’ Chandler broke in, *‘the Sen- | ator irom Nebraska will not crowd the Sen- | stor from Iowa, wuo hastroubles enough.” | [L1: ghter,] | Chuindler then went on to read the reso- lution offered by Allen last March, de- clariog that Congress had no right to tax people in order to enhance private for- tunes. Knowing the Senator to be a man of candor and fairness, hs (Chaadier) would ask bim 10 withdraw his amend- ment and let the pending bill be subs tuted for a *'bill of perfidy and dish.nor.” Allen paid scanty attention to Chand- ler's sarcastic remarks, but renewed his question to Allison—whether anything | had occurred within the last week to change the view<of the Republican caucus | since it had decided 10 support the beets tuear bounty amendment? “The Finance Committee,” Allison re- plied, “‘offered an smendmeni a day or 1wo ago and we were notified by the other side that if it was insisted on the passage oi the bill would be delayed. Therefore, | | fruit to | Board of Naval in order to facilitate its passage, the ¥ nonce Committee withdrew iis amend- ment.” “Then the Senator fiom Jowa and the Republican Senators in this chamber,” said Allen, “*have surrendered because of the threat of fiiibustering.” “On, no,” Allison interrupted; “but it is very important that this bill should pass at the earliest pos-ible day.” Allen read from the last Republican platform declarations in favor of a bounty on beet sugar, and said: *‘The beet-sugar industry may just as well undersiand that it bas been grossly betraved in ihs house of its friends. As to Cuba, the sons of Cuba may be hunted as animals from their lair, women of Cuba may be violated and Cuban children murdered, and yet | the Republicans in the Senate and House are absolutely impotent and powerless.” In closing Allen spoke with much bit- terness of the politician who ignored the teachings of his tather and mo:heraud‘ betrayed the interests of his constituents at the behest of preat corporations. He appeared to be aiming his denunciations at his coileague. Thurston repiied, showing from the record that Allen’s name stocd first among the Senators who voted for the re- peal of the bounty provision in the Mc- Kinley act, and that the two Fopulist| Legisiatures i Nebraska had repealed the State law fer the payment of a bounty on beet sugar. Allison moved to lav the beet bounty on the table. Agreed to, avex 57, noes 9—the noes being Allen, Butler, Har- ris of Kansas, Heitfie.d, Kyle, Mantle, Pettigrew, Stewart and Teller. Thurston voted aye. Teller saxd he wanted the people of the Northwest to understand that the Re- vublican Senators had the opvortunity of having a bounty put on beet suzar. If the Republicans wanted to pass it they could do so and if they did not the people wonld know where to lay the blame. Allison asked that an agreement might be made for a vote to-morrow. Jones of Arkausas said there was no ob- jection on h s side of the chamber, and finally unanimous consent was given that after to-morrow at 1 o'clock discussion should proceed under the five-minute rule and that a final vote should be taken on the passage of the bifl before adjourn- ment, Allison stipulating that no im- portant amendment should be offered on the part of the Finance Committee. At 6:15 the Senate adjourned. — A Swogestion That Comes Tro Late. WASHINGTON, D. C, July 6—An eleventh-hour proposition to insert in the tariff bill a provision placing an internal revenue tax on certain refined sugar was contaired ina letter received by Allison from S:cretary Gage 1o-day. Gage sug- gests that all sngars refined from raw material imported prior 10 the passage of the bill be subjected toataxofacenta pound. It 1s estimated that this tax would yield $14,000,000. The letier had not been considered by the Republican members of the committee to-night. Some of them intimated that the proposi- tion came too late to be of anv effect.

WASHINGION, D. C. July 6.—The crop bulietin ot the weather bureau re- ports that last week was very favorable to crops in the central valleys. In the lake region and New KEngland the high temperaiure was e-pecially beneficial to corn. In Southern States the crops have suf- Iered trom excessive heatand lack of rain. The winter wheat crop is generally har- vesied south of the fortieth parailsl. In California the crop is less shrunken than Wwas anticipated, Spring wheat s making favorable progress and is heading in the southern portion of the State, ger | AY GOULD DID LEAVE A WIDOW So Susan Jane Fillmore of Oakland Says in a Deposition. CLAIM OF MRS. ANGELL SUPPORTED. Chestnut-Roasting Episode in a Caboose Fifty Years Ago. THE WALL-3TREET KING WAS CONFIDENTIAL. During the Ride He Spoke of Hls Wife and Child In New York Stats. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 6.—The de- position of Susan Jane Fillmore, 64 years old, taken in Oakland, Cal., in the action of Sarah Ann Angell to secure a dower in the reaity of the late Jay Gould on proof | of marriage to him before his marriage to the mother of the children who survived bim, was filed in the Supreme Court here to-day. The evidencs was taken in behalf of Mrs. Angell and herattorneys, to whom she assigned her claim some time ago be- fore Theodore Cooper of California. Mrs. Fillmore’s evidence in the main tells of the fun she had with Gould in the fall of 1857, roasting chestnuts in the caboose of a freight train and of alleged statements he made at the time that be was married and had a child. He wasnot then married to the mother ot the Goula children. Mrs. Angell alleges tnat she married Gould on April 16, 1853, when she was 15 and he 17 years of age. She was a servant and her parents lived at Kouse's Point, on the Canadian side of Lake Champlain. She states that she had a chila by Gould, whichdied. Sheafterward married a man named Angeli, believing that Gould was dead. The imvpossibility of her story was shown in a long deposition made by Joun W. Champlin, formerly Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Michigan, which | was filed hers on March 31 last, but which was subsequently removed from the files owing to the aliexation of some informality. Judze Champlin was a friend of Gould from 1852 to 1854 and tes- titied that be had never heard of any marriage during this period. M illmore is the wife of Luther Fitl- more and lives on Ti>teester avenue, Oak- land. She married Fillmore in 1847. They first lived 1n different places in this State, and in June, 1855, went to Scranton. n 1860 they went West to live. She was living in Scranton when, late in October or early in November, 1857, she first met Gould on a train of which her husband was temporarily acting as conductor. Gould got into the caboose to go to Gouldsboro. Her husband introduced them, and during the ride young Gould confessed that he had a wife living in New York State. POLITICAL AGITATION IN INDIA. Incendiary Literature Revilirg the British Government ard the R:cent Jub I:e Celebretion, NEW YORK, N. Y., July 6.—The Herald The present anti-Britisn feeling in | India is partially due to the unscrupulous avitators who, by seditious leaflets, both in English and the vernacular, circulated in Poona, Bombay and at cther points, have incited fanatics to vengeance against individuals and to attempt arevolt against the Government. A dispatch to the London Mail from Bombay gives the suvstance of one of these pamphlets, which is signed, “Three Hundred Millions of Beings.” After re- ferring to the approach of the jubilee fes- tivities it reviles the Queen and the Gov- ernment, ahd appeals to the civilized nations of the worla to hear the cry of the oppressed Indians living in slavery, de- claring that there sre millions of their Aryan brethren who are more entitled to their consideration than the inbabitants either of Greece or Asia Minor. It asserts taat heartless apathy for the sufferings of the people has been shown by the invading of zenanas and tue pollution of temples and mosques under the pretext of operations for suppressing the plague, and continues as follows: “Noteven a demon would venture to celebrate his conquests in a_time of famine, plague and earthquakes. An ancient and noble nation 1s being killed by a Christian Government. Will none 1iit a finger to check the excesses of the English tyrants who have beei riding over’,!,ls ronghshod for more thana cen- tury?' The Times of India, referring to the Poona attacks, says that the facts are in- consistent with the theory that the out- rages were actuated by privata revenge. The journal continues as follows: “The fact that the perpetrators nursed vengeance long after the plague opera- iions had been concluded, deferring the blow until the jubilee, when it woud be delivered with teliing effect, arguesa po- litical conception of which common crim- inals would beincapable.” g PARDON FOLA BANDITS, Distinguished Citisens Ask It for the Motorious Younger Brothers.

Sy CARRIED ThR-UGH FLAMES. Chares Harr.s’ Heroic Deed Saves Two Terro - Stricken Girls From a Horrible Death. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 6.—Little Phil Hichborne Jr., the 12-year-old son of Colonel Philip Hichborne, Chief Naval Congtructor of the United States navy, was setting off firecrackers near his father's cottage at Brigantine Beach. A spark flew into an upper window and soon the entire earret floor, built of yeliow pine and as inflammable as pitch, was in Hames, Ulara Morris, a colored maid, discov- ered the fire. Her first thought was for her young mistress, Miss Martha Hich- borne, and her guest, Miss Margaret Tyler of Washingion, D. C. She knew that they were sittingon the upper piazza. She could hear the frantic voices of the young women as they appealed for aid, and she mingled her cries with theirs, :m she couid not get to them nor they to er. , Meanwitle the alarm had spread. Every able-bodied man was soon at the scene. Charles Har:js, tossing a blanket over his head, mounted the stairs and rushed through the smoke and heat to the piazza in front, where the irightened women were cowering. Nothinez but a stiff breeze fanning the flames toward the northwest had prevented their being killed. Harris was about to se ze Miss Hichborne, when she mutely motioned toward her guest. So he picked up Miss Tyler, fainting and heipless with terror, and rushed with her through the house and downstairs. He returned and earried Mjss Hichborne to safety. Then he succumbed himself, and it was found that his hands had been ter- ribly burned. He was treated by Dr. Armstrone, who did not think his injuries dangerous. The sea breeze drove a shower of sparks toward the cottage of United States Sen- ator Mitchell of Wisconsin, which is now occupied by Wasuington frienus of the Senator, and syon that splendid seaside palace'was on fire. At the same time the cottaze of Captain James Holdzkomb and the Brigantice House, where Senator Quay gees for rest and recreation, were discovered 10 be on fire. The bucket brigade, which was passing pails of water up from the sea, succeeded in saving these two houses, but the Hich- borne house was destroyed. Colonel and Mrs. Hichborne were away from home. S i NEARLY BURIED ALIVE. For Three Kours a Young New York Plumber Struzgl s for Life Down m a Shaft. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 6.—For three bours to-day Frank Jones, a young plumber, lay at the bottom of a shaft in Henry street with sand and earth pilel up to his neck, and with every chance of be:ng buried alive. Twice he was nearly free, and twice another fa!l of sand closed around him jast as rescuers were about to ull him out. It was neariy thres hours fore Jones, with a sheepish grin, ap- veared on the level of the street. A shout went up from the crowd, and Jones was seemingly embarrassed at finding himself the object of so much attention, when he | darted into a tarver-shop and received the congratulations of his friends. A crow 1 had gathered to the number of 3v0 or 400 to see the rescue and watch with suspense. At one tuue the sand had reached Jones' chin, nnd part of it cov- ered his face when he appeared again. But beyond that and a dent in his bat, which bad never left his head during the entire time, he showed no signs ot the peril in which he nad been. ——— TOM W4ISONV'S PAKTY.

Threats ot Rio Janriro made Againsi the Government. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 6 —A special to the Herald from Buenos Ayres says: A ropular meeting of ‘mornarchists was held 1n Rio Janeiro last night, at which cemonstrations against the Government of a thr:atening character were made. President Moraes has declared that he will proceed with energy against the dis- turbers and will maintain order at any cost. The Government, it is claimed, has dis- covered conspiracies between the fanatics and monarchists in the State of Bubia, and that the conspiracies wera instieated by residents of Rio Janeiro, Paris, Lisbon and Buenos Ayres. It 1s also claim-d that the federal troops are in the con- spiracy. The tanatics mude an attack on General Savage yesterday, but were repulsed. The 1roops in following the fanatics captured a convov and a quantily of ammunition. Funeral af Fz-Governor Evans. DENVER, Coro..

Some of the Employers Will- ing to Pzy the Scale Demanded. SENATOR HANNA AMONG THE NUMBER. Presldent Ratch’ord Is Confident, but Says the Strike Must Ba General. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 6.— Leading bituminous coal operators, representing the five States concerned in the big strike, will meet at Detroit, Mich., to-morrow. The meeting is not to agree on methods of fighting the strike, but to devise terms of peace satisfactory to both operators and miners. " Senator Mark Hanna and Colonel W. P. Rend of Chicago, alarge operator in the Pittsburg district, will probably at- tend the meeting. They are ready to grant the 69 cents a ton demanded by the miners in this field. Among those who will attend the con- ference besides the two mentioned is H. L. Chapman, the Democratic candi- date for Governor of Ohio, representing the Illsworth Coal Company, and the Johnson Bros. of Ohio. Patrick Dolan, president of the miners of Pitisburg District, received wora from Finlayv.lle to-day that all the miners along the Wheeling branch of the Balti- more and Ohio railrosd had joined the strike. The mines on this road are those belonging to D. Anderson, one mine; Henry Floersheim, two mines; Osborne & Saeger, one mine, and the Pittsburg and Chicago Gas and Coal Company, two munes. An officialof the last named comranyI sail to-night that his men had nov struck. He holds about $10,000 of the miners’ wages under the ‘‘ironclad contract,” to be forfeited under certain conditions, and his information is probabiy correct. The men will hardly strike uniil they have been as-ured that they will not forfeic the 10 per cent of their wages withheld from them. Pr sident Dolan is informed that Sen- ator Hanna'’s men are receiving 60 cents a ton—the hizhest wages paidin the dis- trict—and will not strike. It would be oniy guesswork to estimate the number of men out of work in this State. Taisis only the first day of tie strike, and many reporis from outlvinz mines are conflicting. Probably 50,000 would be a conservative estimate. It 1s reported tbhat an effort will be made to-morrow 10 resume work with im- ported men at the O'Neill mines, near Monongahela City. Trouble is expected in cass the attempt is made. LS T FATCHFUORD IS CHEFRIUL. Miners’ National President Regards the Outlook. COLUMBUS, Omuro, July 6.—President Rateuford of the United Mine Workers regards the outlook for the sirike as ex- ceedingly bright. An encouraging report was received from the Pittsburg district this morning, which stated that, with the exception cf the miners who were under contract, they were ail out. This makes suspension complete. About the situation to-day President Ratchford said: “‘In some disorganized dis- tricts the miners are holding back to sat- isy themse.ves that the mcvement wiil be general. Itis sincerely boped that this spirit will not long continue to exist. Men never free themselves by inviting others 1o go first to the fight. “The enormity of this movement is attracting the attention of the country, Our Natlonal legislators and members of the National Cabinet express some alarm at the outcome of the present con- flict. Thisis the first time in the history of the mining trade that the regulation of our wages or our trade affairs has given ligh circles any particular concern. We are pleased to know that even now inter- est is being expressed in the peaceful solu- uon of this and future difficulties. *National le islation lvoking to the establishment of a shorter or eight-hour workday and the minimum wage law, as well as National arbiration for the settle- ment of future difficulties, may be ex- pected. This, however, will depend on ourselyes. If our miners content them selves with their lot; if they are satisfied to live in slavery, our National Congress will offer but little objection. Itis to be hop d every man in th s country will lay down his pick and thereby do his part to bring about a better system for himself and his posterity. “The press, the pulpit and the people are almost united in their support. Offers of assistance have come from the State and National unions. of Pennsylvania, a strong and powerful organization, at a meeting held in Pitts- burg Sunday, resolved to sustain the miners and give them material aid if aid be required. “‘With all of those influences and many others that might be enumerated, the future of the mining industry will occupy a higher plane, and at leas: the necessaries of life will be insured to those who are de- pendent on that branch of industry.” How the SRR g e HANNA ON THE SITUATION. The ttrikers, He hinks, Hava Selected an Unjortunate Time. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 6 —A dispatch to the Heraid from Washington says: Senator Hanna of Olio, in speaking of the coal miners’ strike, said: “Owing to the existing conditions of business no one can be expected to raise wages for the present anywhere in any line of business, and thereiore the strikers have chosen a very uniortunate time to make their de- mands, whether the latter be reasonable or not. With better times, greater confi- dence and an increased demand for tbe product of the mines it ought to be possi- ble 10 give laborersof all kinds a better re- turn for their labor, “That is what we mean by prosperity— an improved condition of business. When money is freer operations ara carried on upon a safe, sound and profitabie basis, and the humblest laborer rexps the benetit of the good times in proportion to the value of his labor.

Acts of violence, prompted by tboughtle:s passion, can never accomvlish anything good. 3 “Q! tha effects of the strike on Ohio politics [am not prepared to say anythine.

The withholding of soimj ortant a product as coal, if continued for a cousiderable period, he said, necessarily involves & liberal increase in prices and consequentiy affec's all classes. g He does not believe that politics enter into'strikes, nor that any of the parties or that either the preceding or the preseni administration can be held responsible for the existing disagreements between the operators and miners. Secretary Sherman says that the solu- tion of these problems must be found by the employers and those in their service. They must adjust theirdifferences in their own way and to their own satisfaction. Outside ~ suggestions and interference would be resented. For this reason he does not believe that any general plan of arbitration for the adjudication of labor troubles, as pro- posed by pending Congressional legisla- tion, would be acceptable to either of the parties or could be made effective in prac- tical application. The theory is good, he said, but the execution would be d flicult if not impossible. Arbitration provided by law would be on the same principle as leading a horse to water. The water can be vrovided and the animal 1aken to it, but he cannot be compelled to drink. - 70 HOLD a4 CONFERENCE, Labor Commissioners of the BStriking Mtatre Are Interested. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., July 6.—After a conference with the Governor to-day the members of the State Lalor Commission sent out invilations to the commissioners of Ohio, Illinois and Pennsvivania to come here and confer regarding plans of arbilrating the coal-miners’ strike the lat- ter part of the week. Their plan is to invite representatives of the operators and miners Lefore a joint board and secure from them an agreement to orbitrate, While waiting for answer: the Indiana board will make an investig tion of the strike in this State. To-morrow the members will go to Terre Haute to attend a joint meeting of oper- ators and miners in that city. The com- missioners think that a general inguiry inio the mining business would be of great value us a basis for an equitable set- tlement. —_— e NOT A CASE& 10 AREITRATE. Simply a Kervolt .guinst the Condition of the Inidwstry. TERRE HAUTE, Ixp, July 6 —Presi- dent Knight of the Indiana miners says he does not see how the sirike can be ar- bitrated. It is not a contention with the operators, as has been the case with prev.ous strikes, so much as a revolt against the condition of the industry. The indifference of the oyerators indi- cates the true situation. Eyen at the price offered by operators, tuere are not more than two days’ work in a week for the men. If production could bs limited the selling price would be advanced, asin the anthracite fields, but those who sug- ge-t arbitration woula te the first 10 criti- cize such a combination. B iiS AT WORK. Unless the Strike I+ General It Will Bea Failure. COLUMBUS, Onio. July 6.—Thesuccess or failure of the great sirike depends en- tirely upon the cction of thie miners in West Virginia and Pittsburg districts. National President Ratchford admits that unless the sirike becomes general it wall be a failure. Reports received at National headquar- ters are not as encouraging as desred. as they chow that some miners are siill at work in Ohio, Indiana, [llinois, Pennsyl- vania, to say nothing of West Virginia, who-e position at present is most uncer- tain.
