THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1897 CBOLLCALL ON | THE REW TARIFF May Be Taken Before the Present Week Is Ended. Bill Expected to Be in Hands of the President by Sunday Night. the Gigantic Filbuster to H-ld Up the Conference Report Fell to Pleces Easily. *| trus ea. rises. If it turns out that when Reed is trying to sit prices down he sits them up, and 1i, as a saiety-valve, he is no buper than that, he had better quit politics.” Tne Vice-President decided the point of order not we!l taken. 1t was not for the presiding officer, he said, to decide whether matter in a conference report was new or not relevant. All such questions could be decided byt e Senate itself on the vote to accept or reject the report. The reciprociiy sections having been rexd, Teller suggested that a limitation to two vears of the power of ihe President to enter into reciprocity treaties, was due to the fear of the Conierence Committee | that the next President might not be White characterized the section as very peculiarand very eccentric. Making the validity of such treaties depend upon the approval of Con ress was foily and non- sense and would only be an indication of the men al power of Congress. After iur her progress hxd been made in the conference report, White inquired what had become of the Senate amend- ment to tax the transier of stocks and bonds, and was informea by Aldrich that | it had . one out of the bili W hite inquired whether the Senate con- ferees had been compelled to recede from that amendment. The fact that we did recede,” Aldrich said, *1s evidence that we were compelled to WASHINGTON, D. C., July 21.—While no lormal agreement has been reached as tothe time when the vote is to be tak in the Senate on the report of the Con- ference Committee, there was an unan- imity of opinion on both sides this after- noon that it would be dispesed of and the tariff bill sent to the President before next Bunday night. The reading of the report was finished this afternoon, but it is known thatsev- | eral Senators on the Democratic side de- sire to speak oun the bill in general, and their speeches may take a day or two. The general expectation, however, is that the vote will be taken Friday afternooa. As soon as it was known that the con- ferees had restored to the dutiabie list cotton bagging, cotton ties, burlaps and bags for grain, despite the wishes of a ma- jority of the Senate, a movement was started for the purpose of holding up the report until those articles were placed on the free list. The Senators from the States most directly affected by the change in the rates were the strongest ad- vocates of this gigantic filibuster, and they hoped with the help of the Populists and siiverites to defeat the adoption of the re- port in its present shape. If the articles enumerated wers voted o the free list against the wishes of tue cans il seemed as though there were reasonable grounds for the success of the scheme. But after a thorou.h can- vass of the situation it was found that oo many of the Democrats desired to leave the city to make the fight successful, and therefore 1t was abandoned to-day. Speaker Reed and the Senate leaders do not look for final adjourment this week. - OF THE BILL. READING Brings Out Sh.rp Talk on Irusts, Stocks, Binds and Polities. SHINGTON, D. C., July 2L.—The g of the tanff conference report amed soon after the Senate met and centinued with various inter- ns for discussion until 5:30 o’clock, en the Senate preceeded to executlve ess. Five paragraphs of the report, from amendment 562 to amendment 588, were disposed of without question, but at that point Jones (Ark.) said he bad not been able to keep track of the matter, and the reading was begun over sgain. Nothing w read was to-day of imporiance or interest developed in the | interrogatories or explanations as.to the various emendments until the amend- ment (650) as to printing paper was reached. There the question was raised against the rigit of the conference com- mittee to inject a retaliatory clause in the shave of an additional duty where an ex- port tax is placed upon wood pulp. Vestinquired the source from which the suggestions as to the retaliatory clause came, He was told it came from a House conferee. Teller asserted that the conference com- mittee had no right to put in a retaliatory clause, as such & thing had not been sug- gested by either House In the bill. But there was no use, he said, in protesting against it, for the Republican Senators would say nothing and simply suggest by their silence the question, ‘“‘What are you going to do about it?" Jones raised a formal point of order against it and demanded a decision of the question. Chandler expressed his surprise that the Senator from Arkansas bad made such a point of order, and recalled the case of the conference report on the Indian appropri. ation bill, where the same question arose and where Jones, said Chandler face nluq v, “swallowed two tribes of Indians.” [Laugh Aidrich ‘argued that the retaliatory clause of the paragraph was clearly within the power of the conference committee. He was surprised at the position oi Sena- | tors on the other side, who might find | something more serious to discuss than a Doint of order which had not a peg to hang &n argument upon. Whoite made some facetious remarks in y; then quoted from aspeech of Sena- | handler on_the Wilson bill, which, | Waite said, fitted exactly the pending bill. | Chandler had spoken of the Wilson bill as | baving been c tructed in the dark laces of the Capitol, and had said it ought to be smitten to death, if not by the sunlight of heaven then by legisiation that would smash it to pieces. Chanaler expressed his obligation to White for repro.ucing his anathema of the so-called Wilson bill. Hischarac er- ization had, he regretted to say, fallen on | deaf ears in the Senate; but he flartered himself that it had influenced ti.e D mo- cratic President to descr.be the measure | as “a bill of perfidy and dishonor.” tkink,” Chandler added humorousl, ¥ce the Senator from Alabama ge ready 1o make a ‘shoit speech’ [ aughter] or. he point of orier. “The Senator from New Hampshire,” rejoined Morgan, ‘*does bimself an inju tice in that insinuation. I am lost in "ad- miration of the versatility, genius and want of conscience of the Senator from New Humpshire.” [Laughter.] “My loss of conscience,” Chandler re- plied, ““grows lareeiy vut of my gradual preparation for adm.ssion into the Demo- cratic party, which bas been improving so much of late years that I think it needs more recruits.” Morgan proceeded to argue the point of order at length, declaring the injection oi n-w matier into the conlerence report 1o be a piece of arrogant assumuption. He soon drifted into a philosophical speect on tanff bills in general, which should have no connection at all, he argued, with politics. But 1t had come atound to the fact that a tariff biil is 1o longer a bill o taxation to raise revenue, but a bill 'o con- fer benefits upon partisan followers. Morgan reierred to an incident occurring when the Union Pacific resolution came up last week, when Gear made a motion hostile to 11, “1 violated no privilege in that,” said Gear. Not at all,” said Morgan with bitter sarca m. ‘“There is a great difference be- tween privilege and ¢ood taste.” “I never attempt to justify anything done by the Democratic party,” Gear brokein at another pointin the argument. ‘The Democratic party has not fallen so low as that yet,” was Morsan’s comment, “It is not yet, thunk God, pro-irate. Some of us are left who bave respect for ti.e rules of proceaure and ior the consti- tution; respect for something besides cor- porate jower and the rule of autocrats.’ Morgan spoke o the conference report on the sugar schedule us a reward 1o the trust. He referred 10 Speak-r Reed as the “spiend d ena ponderou Speak-r of tue | Aliison added to Aldrich’s statement the explanation that the House conferees had urged that one class of bonds could not be taxed without taxing all bonds. The amendment had excepted the stock | and bonds oi building associations and other mutual societics, and it was realized that it could not be done. Allen argued that receding from that amendment prove | that the Republican party was “‘bound hand and foot, body and soul, if it uad any soul,”’ to the money | power. Morgan attributed the receding from the amendment partly to the fact that the stock and bonds of the sugar trust ani | oiber trusts would have to pay a tax. He recalled the fact that the amendment had been offered as a caucus measure and had not received au adverse voie in the Sen- ate. “But yet,” said he, “when it went | into the conference, the men who are ex- | ploiting this tariff tor he benefit of trusts, brought their potent influence 10 bear, and | ourconfereesshrank from the amendment | and gave it up; and now here is the Con- | gress of the United States, an agency of the Repubiican party and a conference committee with its hands crossed and tied, and without the ability to rel ase itself, or even resent this outrageous conduct.’’ He would like 0 hear the plea made before the conlerence committee against | the stamp-tax amendment. He imagined | the representatives of the sugar and other trusts sayine to the Republican conferees | (no Democrat being allowed to be pres- lent), ““You have got to stop this, or we will expose you to the world in regard to your dealings with political affairs.” He insisted that the matter could not be | passed over lightly. At the close of Morgan’s remarks the clerk continued reading the conference report, and aiter the reading bad been | concluded the Senate went into executive session, and at 6 o'clock a ‘journed. The debate on the report will continue to- | morrow. — BEET-SUGAER B0OOM PREDICTED. Grower’s FViews on the Fffect of the New Sugar Tariff NEW YORK, N. Y., July 21.—Men in- terested in the beet-sugar industry believe the new tariff will boom that industry and ultimately that all raw sugar and re- fined consumed iu this country will be produced here. This means great profits to the farmers and the upbuilding of a great indasiry. J. J. Hagerman of Colo- | rado Springs, president of the Pecos Val- | ley Railroad Compaay and of the Pecos Valley Company, the owners of a large part of Pecos Valley in New Mexico, :s stopping at the Manhattan Hotei. Beet sugar is the chief industry of the valley and Hagerman is largely interested in it He is throughly famil:iar with the indus- try in the United Siates. To a reporter he said to-day: “I consiier the conference committee schedule extremely favorable to the in- dusiry. Itdiffers from the Senate sched- ule in the important point that there isa specificduty of ninety-five-one hundredths of a cent a pound on sugar testing 75 de- grees and less, and an additional duty as the sugar rises in purity. The Senate bl | proposed an ad valorem duty on low- grade sugar, and it would be impossible | for any doniestic praducer of sugar to teil just what protection e could depend on | having. “Many lIriends of the beet-sugar in- | dustry preferred a bounty to any more |duty. I think this would have been a | great mistake. Bounties are obnoxious to people whose money goes to pay them, | and the bounty would be short lived. What we want to develop the industry is | a tariff which will last a lotg term of years and which both capitalist and armer can depend on, and I believe the proposed bill provides for protection of that character. “Many peovie take it for granted that what is good 1or the sugar trust cannot be good for domestic producers. It would be impossible :0 make a law which would result in the development of the domestic | industry without also helping the trust, especially on the large stock of sugar it bas on hand. *‘While the proposed law is not, I think, as good for refiners as the Wilson' tariff, it will give ampie protection and induce them to try to work harmoniously with domestic producers. The refiners have an enormous capital. They do refining on an irmmense scale more cheaply than any beet sugar factory, and they have ma- chinery for distributing the product. I think it will be found profitable for many beet sugar factori-s which will be built to make brown or raw suuar instead of refined, and sell it to the trust and other refineries just as they do in Germany and other parts of Eurove. I think .he pro- posed law of zuch a character astoinduce the producer and refiner to work together. ““If the time comes when ali the raw sugar needed by the refiner is produced in | this country it will be of untold benetit to | farmer+, and with our present population would sg the exporting of at least $100.000,00) in gold, or its equivalent, an- nuaily. Ido not think the production of raw sugar in this country can catch up to | the consumption in twenty vears. By | that time our population will reach at | least 100 000,000, andt our consumption of | *uear wi | be 3,300,000 tons a year instead | of 2,000000 tons oi sugar, as it znow is. | Speaging roughly, that would require | raising 32,000,000 tons of sugar beets and | probably give the farmers $130,000,000 a vear. It would require the use of 4,000,- 000 acres and enormous amounts of coal, chemicals, labor and machinery. There is no reason why the indu-try shouid not be developed, and I look for it to be done | as rapidly as the business hasdeveloped.’’ B et ) Howse Will Pavs the Bill. WASHINGTON, D, C., July 2L.—Chair- man Dingley of the Ways and Means Commiittee, after a fifteen-minute talk with the President this morning, said the currency me-sage will not be sent to Con- gress uniil after the passace ot the tariff bill. His opinon is that the House wil quickly pass the bill, but he admits there is no prospect for action in the Senate this sessilon. —_— Death o/ 2 koi oad President. CLEVELAND, Osro, July 2L.—General D. W. Caldwell, president of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, dicd to-day.

War Party May Yet Prove Too Strong for Thessaly to Be Ab:ndoned. Written Threat Agalnst the Sul- tan’s Life Found Open on His Private Desk. [Copyrighted, 1897, by the New York Sun. ] LONDON, Exe., July 21.—A dispatch to the Ceniral News from Constantinople says that Tewfic Pasha, Foreign Minister, te-day communicated to the Austrian Embassador an irade issued by tne Sul- tan authorizing the Porte to accept the irontier agreed upon by the military at- taches of the foreign embassies. Other dispatches from Constauntinople confirm the report that the Sultan has finally acceded to the demands of the pow- ers. His excuse all along has been that the opposition of the Grand V zier and war party has prevented him from acquiesc- ing to the wishes oi the powers. Now that this 1s overcome the peace negotia- tions should logically continue until final terms of settiement ars reached. Never- theless, nobody believes that they will. Thbere is, too, good reason to believe that every debatable delay will be con- nected with the evicuauon of Thessaly, and that the settlement of the Cretan question will ke contested with the same obsiinacy and obstruction that have char- acteriz 'd the negotiations hitherto, The familiar contention that 1t is an inviola- ble principle fqr Islam not to abandon territory conquered by the sword is bsing again emphasized, and it would not be surpri<ing to learn shortly that Abdu: Hamid, fearing o arouse the Mussulman spirit, is unable to order the retreat of tue victorious army. Stories are already industriously circu- lated of threats against his Majesty’s life, the latest having been found in an open letter on the desk in his study. The let- ter conciudes: ‘“You shall not withdraw from Th ssaly leaving the bones and tombs of our Moslem forefather<to unbelievers.” —— YUSSUF BLY sMILED FAINLY. Hhy the Sultan Concluded to Quickly Chanre Hiv ind. CONSTANTINOPLE, TurkEey, July 21. —The change in the Sultin’s attitude is | the direct result of the action of the Em- bassadors in suspend:ng the peace nego- tiations. The Embassadors held a meet- ing last Monday, and not receiving, as they had demanded, a written acceptance of the frontier as traced by the attaches, they di-patched an ideniical telegram to their Guvernments deciaring the conciu- sion of peace to be indefinite y retarded unless the powers made a demons.ration showing a decision to adopt coercive measures. Wuile the Embassadors were in session the Sultan became frightened and sent Yussuf Bev to Leg them todo nothing precipitately. A few days’ patience, he said, wonld set evervthing straight. Yus- suf Bey, suave, smiling &nd insinuating, exercised his blaudishments in vain. He had been so irequently used for similar misssons that the Embassadors lost the faith once reposed in him, and they cour- teously dismissed him. The Sultan then ordered the Ministers to prepare a mazbara commanding an ac- ceptance of the frontier. Even then he delayed to give effect to his acceptance of the irade as long as possible, but the doc- ument was promulgated tnis morning. The text of the irade is not obtainable, but it is said it does not accept tke pro- posed frontier unconditionally. ABMOR PLAIE CuMPLICATIONS. Said That the Price Wil Be Raised and That There Will Be No Government Fac ory. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 21.—Secre- tary Long ha. prepared a letter addressed to armor firms notifying them of the pro- visions of the deficiency bill, limiting the price to $300 a ton, and requesting that he be informed if contracts at this rate can be made for upward of 8000 tons re- quired for the battle-ships Alabama, Wis- consin and Illinois. The notification is pr«functory. as both the Carnegie and Bethlehem companies have already de- clined to supply armor at the figure named. As soon as replies are received the Sec- retary will appoint a board, consisting probably of Captain O'Neill, ordnance chief, Professor Alger and otfier experts to prepare plans for the establishment ot a Government plaut near Washington. The Washington gun factory board will be directed to investigate thoroughly the cost of constructing such a plant and re- port upon the advisability of the Govern- ment undertaking to manufacture its own armor. This report will be submitted to Congress next December with the recom- mendation, undoubtedly, that private firms be allowed to continue to furnish the armor supply and the price be fixed at $400 a ton. Secretary Long doubts the advisability of the establishment of a plant which would cost, approximately, $3.000,000 and require at least 1wo years to build. Ll G o WILL IMPRGVE PEARL HARBOR.

Tak= ganized tramps have become so bold in Ne- braska towns that the United States iorces were oriercd to lend their aid to-day. A road this morning was beld up ai Teka- mah by a gangof tramps just as it was town. As the train slowed up at the switch, a band of men, some fifty in num- ber, rushed out from a iumber-yard. Some of the men boarded the engine, while others climbed into the caboose and upon the boxcars. Oue, who seemed to be the leader of the gang, demanded of the conductor that the train be run on through the town. This the conductor refused to do, whereupon the tramps took complete possession, but unly succeeded in geuting the train twenty miles away when the water was exhausied. Superintendent Jaynes communicated with the United S.ates authorities here in regard to the situation, but they refused to intefere unless the maiis were inter- rupted. Tramps have stopped several trains in the Sta e recenily, and all freights are run fast through small towns in the State in order to avoid the hoboes. EEie A CRAZY 5AN FRANCISCAN. M, Cary Becomes Viol~ntly Insane While on the Koad to Butte, MISSOULA, MoxT., July 21.—M. Cary, a Northern Pacitic passenger frowa San Francisco to Butte, went insane while tue train was crossing tne Fiathead Indian reservation. In the presence of several passengers he cut his throat, slashed his head right and left, then plunged the knife into his breast and jumped off the train, which was running at full! speed. The train was stopped and Cary vpicked up. He fought bard, but was finally lodged in the bagzage-car, where a physi- cian bandaged his wounds, only to have the bandages torn off. Arriving at Mis- soula he was taken to St. Patrick’s Hospi- tal. Owing to the terrible cutv about his neck it was unsafe to administer chloro- form, and the physician was compelled to sew up the cuts while Cary was held down by a number of men.

Concentrated Efforts to Be Made to Check the Growth of Bryanism. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 21.—The Na- tional executive committee of the National Democratic rarty held a conference to- day in the office of Chairman Bynum, who presided. The following members at- tended: C. J. Canda (proxy for John P. Frezel), Indianapolis; William Haide- man, Louisville; George Foster Peabody, New York; F. W. McCutcheon, St. Paul; John C. Bullitt, Philadelphia; C. V y Holman, Rockland, Me.; Major W. W. Screws (proxy for Colonel J. M. Falkner), Montgomery, Ala., and M. R. Spellman, New Orleans. It was decided to stand fast on the In- dianapolis platform, and that the organi- zation should keep up the work it has hitherto pursued during the coming cam- paign. In Kentucky, Ohio and Iowa, where Bryanism and the silver issue have been again put in the field, the organiza- tion will concentrate its efforts to show the free-silver Democrats that they cannot win without it. All the speakers who were on the stump for the organization during the iast campaign will be sent out this year to coniinue the campu+ign of edu- cation. Sound-money literature will also be distributed broadcast, Talfourd P. Linn explained the situa- tion in Ohio. He said the silverites had damaged their campaign by nominating H. M. Chapman, a coal operator, whose miners were on strike, and they were thus prevented from atiacking Hanna as a coal operator, He sail that ninety-eight out of a hundred representative soun .-money Democrats who had been consulted as to the advisability of this year nominating independent candidates had responded, calling for an independent convention by all means., The convention will Le heid in September..

DENVER, Cotro., July 2l.—A special to the Rocky Mountain News from Las Vegas, N. M,, says: In the matter of fly- ing machines, Las Vegas is not behind the rest of the world. John R. Kirk, a Santa Fe encineer, claims to have per- iected, after seven yearsof hard stu .y and exyerimenting, a flyinec machine that will fly. Itis entirely different from anything yet attempted in this line, while at the same time it is a marvel of simplicity and durability, The motive power is con- tained in a storage battery.
