THE DAY CONGRESS

Tariff Fight Will Now Be Made on

Paragraphs.

SENATOR MILLS' REMARKS,

A Rap at the Protection Doctrine An

Echo of the O'Neill-tTo- y ContestedElection Case la the House Cele-

brated Claimant Dead.

Washington, April 24. Mr. Hepburn(Rep., Ia.) still persists in bis determina-tion to hang on the flank of the Demo-cratic majority and by constantly har-rassi-ng

them, force the consideration ofpension bills reported from the Fridaynight sessions. Again in the house todayhe objected to the approval of thejournal and forced a roll call. The jour-nal was approved. An interesting questionwas presented at this moment by Mr.Bartholdt (Rep.. Mo.). It was an echoof the O'Neill-Jo- y contested election case.

Mr. Bartholdt claimed the .floor as aquestion of privilege and sent to theclerk's desk to have read a series of reso-

lutions adopted at a mass meeting in St.Louis last Saturday, declaring CharlesF. Joy to have been illegally deprived ofhis seat as a representative from theEleventh Missouri district.

Mr. O'Neill, tho subject of the attack,demanded tho floor as a matter of priv-ilege and was proceeding to reply to theimputation that he had obtained a seatto which ho was not entitled, when Mr.Wise (Dem., W. V.) raised the point thatMr. O'Neill was also out of order. Thespeaker sustained the point, but Mr.O'Neill would not sit down. He ha-

rangued the house while the speaker wasvainly endeavoring to restore order. Heoffered to submit the question of his elec-tion to a special committee and abide byits decision.

At last tho speaker was forced to orderMr. O'Neill to take his seat.

In tho Senate.Washington,- - April 24. After tho

morning hour the tariff bill was laid be-

fore the sanato and Senator Mills (Tex.)was recognized. There was a good at-

tendance in kho galleries and a numberof representatives from the other housewere present, this being the last day ofdebate on the bill as a whole.

Senator Mill opened by saying that thebill did not entirely meet his approval.But all legislation was necessarily a mat-ter of compromise. He might offersome amendments. But if theywere rejected he should vote for thebill. It was a party measure and hebelieved every Democrat should sink hisown preferences thus far. He would,he caid, have levied a duty on coffee, teaand sugar. The Democratic theory wasthat tho government should insure toevery man the enjoyment of everynatural right. He should have put onthe free list all articles that require

for consumption. If thatwere not sufficient he should have put atax on accumulated weaitn. All obstacles in the way of employment oflabor should be stricken down. Thepolicy of protection, he argued, hadfailed to buildagriculture.

CELEBHATKD CLAIMANT IS DEAD.

Will in in McGarrahan Passes Away at aWashington Hospital.

Washington, April 24. Williamthe celebrated claimant to the

New Idria mine, died at Providencehospital at 11:45 a. m. He had been afamiliar figure at the Capitol for yearsand was well known to a majority ofthe senators and members, a majorityof whom were believers in the justice ofhis claim. A bill to permit a trial of hiscase in the court of claims was passed bycongress, but was vetoed by PresidentHarrison. Several other bills had beenpassed by one house or the other and ascore of committees had reported favor-ably on this claim.

Final Settlement Expected.Washington, April 2 1. A final settle-

ment of the government's long standingcomplications with the Pacific railroadsis confidently expected as a result ofthe activity concerning the roads in con-

gress, in the courts and in the executivedepartments. The investigation by thehouse conimittee on Pacific roads hasbrought out the fact that all parties ininterest are gradually merging toward acommon ground of settlement althoughthey are still separated on details. Thegovernment's proposition has alreadybeen completed by Attorney GeneralOlney and is being printed for tho useof the congressional committee next Fri-day.

Senate Confirmations.Washington, April 24. The senate

made the following confirmations: Mar-shal of the United States, John E. Lynch,for the Eastern district of Missouri: re-

Washborae Speaks in Opposition to theTarUT Bill.

Washington, April 17. Senator Lodgeoffered an amendment to the pendingtariff bill for the imposition of retaliatory

' . F 11 - . . . T A?rates oi uuty against urreat januan, pro-viding that when not in contravention ofexisting treaty, any article not admittedfree, if it is the manufacture of GreatBritian or any of its colonies, should paydouble the duty herctofor'imrojed and ifadmitted free, a duty of :. kt cent boimposed, except on wool, which shouldbo admitted under tho duties of the actof 1890; and that these retaliatory anddiscriminating duties should remain inforce until Great Britian consented totake part in an agreement with theUnited States for the coinage of silverand when such agreement was made thediscriminating duties should cease.

Washington, April 18. The housedevoted tho entire day Wednesday to de-bate on the consular and appropriationbills. It touched a wide variety of sub-jects and at times was brim full of in-teresting personalities. The Hawaiianpolicy of the present administrationcame in for a good share of attention.The appointment of Van Alen aa minis-ter to Italy provoked a very extendeddiscussion. It was held up to ridiculeby the Republicans, who intimated thatit was a direct, reward for his $50,000contributed to the Democratic campaignfund. The Democrats, in defending theappointment, tried to counter on theHarrison administration by detailing thehistory of the 400,000 campaign fundraised by General Wana-make- r.

Washington, April 18. Before begin-ning the tariff debate Wednesday in thesenate Senator Gallinger(N. H.) gave no-tice that he would speak on tho tariff nextFriday and Senator Palmer that howould speak Tuesday next.

Washington, April 19. Thursday inthe senate was almost entirely consumedby a speech against the pending tariffbill by Senator Perkins (Cal.).

Senator Peffer stirred up quite a hor-net's nest by calling up his resolution forthe appointment of a committeo on com-munications to receive the petitions ofCoxey's anny. He explained the objectof tho resolution as being a preparationfor the proper reception of this body ofmen, and to givo them every facility topresent their grievances to congress.

Mr. Peffer was followed by SenatorAllen (Pop., Neb.) who, while not entire-ly approving of Coxey's action, assertedthe perfect right of Coxey andhis followers to come to Washing-ton if they chose. And not only that,they had a right to come into the capitoland occupj tho galleries of the senateand it would be unwise on tho part ofthe senate to refuse them this privilege.They had also the right to be heard,and no man, whether he be asenator or citizen had a right to denythem that right. He bitterly denouncedthe report that Gen. Ordway of thenational guard of the district of Colum-bia was preparing to mobilize the militiaat tho confines of the District of Colum-bia.

Washington. April 19. The house ismaking very slow progress with thediplomatic and consular appropriationbills. Almost the entire day Thursdaywas devoted to thrashing over the oldstraw in the Hawaiian controvesy. Thetext used as a basis for the debate a mo-tion to cut off the salary of the Hawaiianminister was defeated when the votewas taken without division. About 4o'clock half the membership of the housesuddenly faded away to attend the opening ball game of the season and whentnis acc was oDservea, Mr. cannon carried the committee of the whole on anamendment to prevent the increase ofthe Mexican secretary of legation.
