Chicago, September 27. — Wheat —
■re was only moderate speculation. The
ling was within moderate limits. Out-
le orders were few and there was not
jell disposition on the part of local ope-
tors to launch heavily into new ven-
res. On the whole, the trading was
uewliat smaller than that of yesterday,
le opening was a shade under yester-

ices declining lc, followed by minor
[dilations, and closed 4 to 5-Sc lower

Corn—There was light local trade and
speculations were within narrower
nits than any day this week. Nothing
w of consequence was developed and

Oats were traded in to a moderate extent

New Y'ork, September 27.—Futures
ned at three points decline, closing I
ady at one to two points decline from |
terday's closing prices. The market is I
feverishly active. The early decline was
in response to a much lower market for
futures from Liverpool, where the advance
of Friday was wholly lost. But presently
the bears became uneasy, and on very
moderate buying to cover contracts the
early decline was partly recovered. After
change a further recovery was reported.
Following the recent heavy rains, the ma
turing crop is felt to be peculiarly exposed
to danger from a cold snap, which last
month followed a moist, murky spell.
Spot cotton was steady and quiet.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Washington, September 27.—[Special]
Napoleon McKinley was received with ap
plause by the Republicans when he
marched into the hall late yesterday with
the tariff bill tucked under his arm. Today
the House passed the bill after a season of
five hours' debate, one hour of which was
used by Mr. Turner, of Georgia. Mr. Tur
ner is equipped to say a great deal in an
hour, and he said a great deal today, and
said it well.
A CORKER FOR THE FARMER.
Taken as a whole,- the McKinley bill is a
corker for the farmers. It increases the
tariff duty on everything they use from 47
to above 60 per cent. Nothing escapes,
not even the trace chains that are so handy
in the plow'ing season. The duty on cot
ton ties is advanced from 35 per cent to
above 100 per cent, and the bagging trust
is not only boosted but perpetuated.
Reaching further into the laboring man’s
pocket, it levies a tax on his pipe and
chewing tobacco, and the shoes that he
wears must pay their pro rata tribute to
the general pension fund. In short, it is
bill conceived in sin and bom in
iniquity.
BLACKMAILER WHEAT.
The one armed postmaster, Mr. Wheat,
was on the rack today. He acknowledged
before the investigating committee that he
had been blackmailing Contractor Culber
son to the tune of $150 per month. He
had been advised to do this blackmailing
by a number of Congressmen and friends,
but when asked for names his memory
grew suddenly defective. Culberson testi
fied that no Democrat postmaster had
ever mulct him, a statement that caused
the minority members of the committee,
including Mr. Grimes, to smile broadly
and quietly shake hands with themselves.
TO ADJOURN TUESDAY.
The committee on rules brought in an
order today providing for an adjornment
of Congress on next Tuesday. This
struck the minority as a bit hysterical,
but it slipped through the house before they
had time to collect themselves and so the
final day remains to be. fixed by the Senate.
The following postmasters were ap
pointed today: Charles L. Taylor, Hel.’s
Gate, Baker county,.Ga.; Zack T. Sharer,
Berryville, Ala.; George W. Champion,
Buckhorn, Ala.: William Underwood,
LeGrand, Ala.
New offices have been established at
Enoch, Choctaw county, and Grenada,
Lawrence county, Ala.
Judge Crisp has gone home to Ameri-
cus to stay. He is far from well.
E. P. S.
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, September 27.—McKin
ley asked that the reading of the journal I
be dispensed with in order that more time 1
might be accorded to debate on the tariff
conference report, but Turner, of Georgia,
objected.
The journal having been approved, Mc-
Millin, of Tennessee, withdrew his demand
for the reading of the report, in view of
the fact that tile report was printed in the
Record.
McKinley said that he understood t.he
Republican members desired no more than
one hour for debate. He asked, therefore,
that debate should continue for five hours,
two hours to be given to the friends and
three hours to the opponents of the report.
McMiilin protested against a limitation
being put upon the discussion, but sug
gested that, if such limitation were to be
made, the hour should be fixed at 6
o’clock.
McKinley acquiesced in this suggestion
and asked for consent that the previous
question be considered as ordered at that
hour.
To this McMiilin objected, whereupon
McKinley gave notice that he would de
mand the previous question at half-past 5
o’clock.
McKinley then made a business state
ment of the changes between the provis
ions of the House bill and the bill as it
passed the Senate, and explained the pro
visions of the conference, practically as
they are explained in the statement of the
conferees. In reference to the sugar
schedule, he said that the bill as it passed
the House provided that all sugars up to
and including No. 16, Dutch standard,
should be admitted free, and that sugar
above that color should pay four-tenths
of one cent a pound, that was to compen
sate for the difference in labor, the cost of
refining in this country, and in competing
countries. The Senate had stricken out
No. 16, as the line of demarcation, and
had inserted No. 13. Above No. 13, and
up to No. 16, it had placed a duty of three-
tenths of a cent a pound, and above No.
16, six tenths of a cent. The first strug
gle had been over the dividing line.
The Senate conferees had yielded
and made sugar up to No. 16 free; over
No. 16 the duty was placed at 5-10 of a
cent, with an additional 1-10 of a cent on
all sugars coming from countries where
bounties were paid to domestic producers.
In regard to the subject of binding
twine, he expressed his opinion that the
duty was too low, but he indulged the
hope that some future Congress would dis
cover the fact and apply the remedy.
Flower, of New Y'ork, characterized the
measure as a cyclone bill. The point of
the bill was to so arrange it that there
should be no trade between the United
States and foreign countries. It would
euable manufacturers to combine and
fleece the people, while the farmers would
fail to find relief.
Referring to the subject of binding twine,
he said that while the gentlemen would
expatiate in the West upon the provision
as being in favor of the farmers of the
West, it would ruin 300,000 working men
in New Y'ork and New England.
Turner, of Georgia, criticized the ma
jority for limiting the time for debate.
This process might commend itself to
those who were beneficiaries of the policy
of protection, but it looded to the victims
more like the policy of “addition, divis
ion and silence.” He arraigned the bill
as a sectional measure, its benefit being
for those who lived in the North, and its
hardships for those who lived it the South.
Upon the subject of reciprocity he querried
what benefit would come to the country
from that provision of the bill. His opin
ion was that the provision was
brutum fulmen. He objected to
the provision because it inaugurated a
system that was in violation of the consti
tution. The bill proposed to invest the
President with the power to enact laws
and he was opposed to giving the Presi
dent such power.
Herbert said that the reciprocity feature
of the bill was a mere political make-shift,
in that it was good enough until after the
election and utterly worthless for any
practical purpose.
Cummings, of New York, declared that
the doctrine of American protection was
the most pernicious that had ever per
meated the American people. Inveighing
against the protective system, he said that
the decay of the agricultural interests of
the country gave the lie to the statement
that protection was for the benefit of the
farmer. This bill was not a protection to
industry, but was a deprivation of markets,
and was self-destroying. But the whistle
of this tariff locomotive was screaming.
Gagged and bound, he was still an un
willing psssenger on this Congressional-
limited marauding, McKinley train. The
| “Down East” engineer of the Juggernaut
express had thrown the throttle open; the
Illinois stoker was shovelling in coal; the
Buckeye conductor was punching tickets,
and the protective hoodlums were filling
the air with wild hurrahs. The train was
nearing the tarn, where it would certainly
jump the track.
The debate was continued in opposition
to the bill by Fitch and Covert, of New
Y'ork; Wilkinson, of Louisiana; Crane, of
Texas; McAdoo, of New Jersey, and Me-
Millen, and in favor of it by Peters, of
Kansas; Sweeney and Oliver, of Iowa;
Hitt, of Illinois; Cutclieon, Candle, of
Massachusetts; Evans, : ‘lof Tennessee;
Gear, of Iowa; Morse, of Massachusetts;
Linn, of Minnesota, and Dinghy, of
Maine.
MeMillen asserted that the bill
agreed to increased by one dollar the tax
paid by every Caucasian and negro, man
svoman and child in the land. Referring
to the reciprocity amendment, he declared
that the reciprocity provision of the bill
was a cowardly surrender of the highest
prerogative of the house. The biii gave
the president.power not exercised by the
Czar of Russia. He appealed from the
majority of the house to the people who
made and unmade congress. [Applause
on Democratic side.]
McKinley closed the debate in a speech
in favor of the bill, and at its conclusion
demanded the previous question, amid ap
plause on the Republican side. The pre
vious question was ordered—yeas 151, nays
79. The conference report was then agreed
to—yeas 152 [the .Speaker voting . in the
affirmative], nays 81. The only deviation
from a strict party vote was on the part'of
Coleman, Feathers ton and Kelly, who
voted with the Democrats in the negative.
McKinley then reported from the com
mittee on ways and means a resolution
providing for the final adjournment on
Tuesday next, and it was adopted without
division, ^pti the House, at 6:50 o’clock,
adjourned.
IN THE SENATE.
Washington, September 27. — The
House joint resolution authorizing the
Secretary of the Navy to purchase nickel
ore, or nickel matte, for use in the manu
facture of steel armor was taken up, and
Cameron’s amendment offered yesterday
was agreed to.
Platt did uot approve the appropriation
of $1,000,000 now, when Congress would
be iii session again in two months.
Hale said that it was necessary to have
the appropriation made now in order to
get control of a supply of nickel. It would
go elsewhere if it was not purchased now.
Gorman said that he had opposed the
joint resolution yesterday, but he was as
sured that its passage was an absolute
necessity in the interest of the public ser
vice, and he was bound to accept that
statement. The joint resolution was passed.
The Senate resumed the consideration
of the House bill to amend “an act to pro
hibit the importation or imigration of
foreigners and aliens, under contract or
agreement, to perform labor in the United
States, its territories and the District of
Columbia,” the pending question being
on Mr. Plumb’s amendment offered yester
day providing that the act shall not apply
to any organization of musicians or orches
tras. The amendment was agreed to;
also an amendment excepting teachers
from its provision. The bill went over
without final action, Blair remarking that
he would not call it up again, as it was
now much worse than the present law.
Unfinished business was then taken up,
being the Senate bill to establish a United
States land court, and it was recommitted
to the committee on private land claims.
The House joint resolution to correct an
error in the river and harbor bill was
passed. The error was made in the en
rollment of the bill in the House, and it
consisted in making the appropriation for
the improvement of the Illinois river
$2,000 instead of $200,000.
The House bill for the adjustment of
the accounts of laborers, workmen and
mechanics, arising under the eight-hour
law, was taken up.
Blair moved, on behalf of the commitee
on education and labor, to amend the bill
by striking out the following proviso: Rro-
vided, further, that this act shall not be
operative whenever the court shall find
that such laborer, workmsu and mechanic
performed such labor or service under any
contract, express or implied, and has been
paid therefor the amount agreed upon.
Several Votes were taken upon it, but
none of them showed the presence of a
quorum, so, after a brief executive session,
the Senate adjourned.

has been received from the German Em
bassy in Paris that Nibot, the French Min
ister of Foreign Affairs, had negotiated
with Whitelaw Reid, the American Minis
ter, for a reciprocity arrangement between
France and the United States to summarily
settle the project of Count Kalnoky, the
Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister, for a
combined reprisal against the United States
in retaliation for the McKinley tariff bill.
Emperor YVilliam never entertained an
idea of reprisals. Chancellor Y'on Caprivi
appears to have dallied with the project
until the Emperor’s return from the
manoeuvres, when the suggestions of the
semi-official press here and in Vienna for
customs coalition suddenly ceased.
Chancellor Von Caprivi had a conference
with Miguel and accepted his scheme to
lessen the cost of living to the masses by
higher imports on the monied classes, the
principle involving the early reopening
of the German market to American pork.
The official impression here is
that Minister Phelps’ overtures for a set
tlement, if renewed backed by some easy
concession in German exports to the
United States, will find ready response
from Chancellor Von Caprivi.
Advices from Vienna indicate that the
Austrian Government also accepts the
principle of reciprocity, Count Kalnoky
having instructed the Austrian Minister at
Washington to make representations in
the matter of mother of pearl and other
Austrian industries affected by the Mc
Kinley bill with a view to the negotiation
of a treaty.
Herr Miguel’s financial statements have
also a decisive influence in military re
forms, and led to the retirement of Gen.
Verdy du Vernois from the War Ministry,
and the proffered resignation of Gen.
Count von Waldersee, both of whom
urged Emperor William to adopt Scharn-
horst’s plan for the reorganization of the
army. This plan entailed large additions
to the artillery and cavalry, and a conse
quent heavy increase in the war budget.
Gen. du Vernois, believing that the Em
peror would assent, announced in the
committee of the Reichstag last
session Seharnhorst’s scheme as
adopted. Herr Mayuel’s calculations
proved that the carrying out of Scliarn-
horst’s plan and the budget of 550,000,000
marks would render the Kaiser’s arms in
the direction of social amelioration helpless.
Despite the popularity of Scharnhorst’s
scheme in millitary circles, the Chancellor
lias thrown the whole weight of his in
fluence against adding it to the war budget.
The Emperor’s definitive approal of Mi
ners ideas made the retirement of Gen.
Verdy DuVernois and Gen. Count Wad-
dersee inevitable.
The semi-official press maintains silence
in regard to the renewal of the triple alli
ance. A communication published in the
Pesthermoy announced that an agreement
had been obtained. The scope of the
agreement is in the meantime withheld
from the public. The communication adds
that the strengthening of the alliance has
been fully achieved.
on the charge of shop lifting. They had
been to Columbus, Ohio, their former
visit relatives, and were en route
to Birmingham, having stopped in Cin
cinnati for a day. Both ladies are well
and favorably known here, and their arrest
occasioned great surprise. They bear
good characters.
THE ARRESTS.
[ASSOCIATED PRESS ACCOUNT.]
Cincinnati, September 27.—Two wo
men were arrested in Shilitas & Uo.’s.,
dry goods store today for siiop lifting.
Their theft had been witnessed by two de
tectives who were watching them, and the
stolen goods were found in their capacious
pockets. They gave the names of Mrs.
Emma Webster, of Nashville, and Miss
Marie Casey, of Xenia, Ohio. The older
is about forty and the younger about
twenty yearsjold. A trunk check in their
possession enabled the police to find their
trunk at the depot which, when opened,
displayed a great assortment of stolen
goods and some letters which showed the
women to be Mrs. A. L. Emerson, of Bir
mingham, Ala., and Miss Maurice Carpen
ter, also of Birmingham. Some of the
stolen goods appears to have been obtained
in St. Louis.
DEATH DEFEATED HIM.
A COBB COUNTY CANDIDATE DROPS DEAD
WHILE SPEAKING.
Atlanta, Ga., September 27.—[Spe
cial.]—Rev. A. G. Dempsey, one of the
Alliance candidates for the Legislature, in
Cobb county, dropped dead while making
a speech in a negro school house at Ore-
gou Court house last night. There was a
question as to whether Dempsey or Col.
W. R. Powers received the nomination at
the recent primary in that county, and the
campaign between these two has been
heated. Last night Dempsey was speak
ing to an audience of negroes when he fell
over dead. Heart disease was the cause.
Ever since the war Dempsey lias been a
standing candidate for the legislative nom
ination, but never until this year was lie
successful. Now, death has robbed him
of the long-sought prize.
THE PRIMARYELECTION.
AN OPEN SWITCH
WRECKS TWO FAST TRAINS, KILLING
TWENTY PASSENGERS.
YValla Walla, Wash., September 27.
—Through gentlemen from Pendleton the
news was received this morning of a rail
road disaster at Waucanza, eight miles east
of Soshoue, on the Oregon Short Line, at
8 o’clock Friday morning. The station is
the passing point for the Union Pacific
fast mail traius. The east-bound train
pulled into the station on time and side
tracked. A minute later the west-bound
train ran in. The switch to the main
track was not closed, and it ran, head on,
into the east-bound train, telescoping the
train and wrecking both engines. The in
formant says the passenger cars were all
smashed. When he left twenty dead bod
ies had been taken out, and it was sup
posed that there were more in the wreck.
Friday’s trains were all abandoned. The
passengers from all points this side were
delayed, as there was no train run out from
Huntington that day.

THE LUCKY GUESSER.
There were eighty-three guesses received
at the Enquirer-Sun office up to 12 yes
terday, several of them from the different
beats in the county, though the majority
were from the city. The condi
tions were that the first correct
guess received would be entitled to
the subscription prize. According to this
Mr. R. M. Kirven, who filed his guess in
this office at 6:30 a. m., on Friday, is en
titled to the prize. He guessed the ticket
as above. Several others made the same
guess, but Mr. Kirven got his in first, and
is therefore entitled to the year’s subscrip
tion, and will receive it.
