PATCHING UP THE TARIFF
THE) SENATE IN THE MIDST OF THE
PRELIMINARY SKIRMISH.
Senator Sherman’s Effort to Dodge
the Presentation of a Comparative
Statement Headed Off—Mr. Reagan
Also Puts in a Little More Work for
the Finance Committee.
Washington, May 20.—1n the Senate
this morning Mr. Plumb offered a resolu
tion instructing the finance committee to
prepare and report (in connection with the
tariff bill) a statement showing the duties
levied under the existing law. the duties a9
they would be under the House bill, and the
duties under the bill to be reported by the
Senate committee, such duties to be stated
jn parallel columns; and especially,
ir the committee should recommend new
duties or an incroass of the existing duties,
to state the reasons in each case for such ad
dition or increase. In the course of the dis
cussion Mr. Sherman suggested the diffi
culty, and even the impossibility, of the
committee on finance giving reasons for its
recommendation in each of the 3,000 items
covered in the bill. The reasons might be
given generally, but not in regard to every
item. He moved to strike out of the reso
lution the words "in each case.”
PLUMB STICKS TO HIS POINT.
Mr. Plumb opposed Mr. Sherman's
amendment. He would rather have the
whole resolution disagreed to. He knew
that the statement would require a good
deal of time, but it had been given out
that the present revision of the tariff would
last for teu or fifteen or twonty years. The
report of the finance committee,
therefore, ought to bo ample
in every individual case, to explain the
position of the committee "so as to satisfy
those of us who are in general accord with
the protective idea, which the bill is sup
posed to represent, and to enablo us to ex
plain why we voted to increase duties when
the expectation was that we would vote to
reduce them.”
Mr. Harris favored Mr. Plumb’s resolu
tion as absolutely necessary for intelligent
discussion of the subject matter.
Mr. Sherman’s amendment was dis
agreed to.
REAGAN SUGGESTS A CHANGE.
Mr. Reagan moved to amend the resolu
tion to require (iu the cases of compound
duies, specific and ad valorem), a column
showing the equivalent ad valorem amount
of the duty.
Mr. Morrill stated that the clerk of the
committee was engaged nights and Sundays
in preparing the statement called for in the
first part of the resolution, but as to the
information called for by Mr. Reagan, that
could be furnished better by the treasury
department than by the finance committee.
Mr. Allison moved to insert in Mr.
Reagan’s amendment the words: ‘‘Where
practicable.”
Mr. Blair—And where not practicable,
the committee can give us a reasonable
guess.
Mr. Reagan’s amendment, modified as
suggested by Mr. Allison, was agreed to.
The resolution was further amended, on
motion of Mr. Hawley, by making it apply
also to reductions of duties, and, as thus
amended, it was agreed to.
TAXATION ON BANK NOTES.
Mr. George from the judiciary commit
tee, reported a bill subjecting national
bank notes and treasury notes to state taxa
tion. It was placed on the calendar.
NO NEED FOR BATTLE SHIPS.
Mr. Cockrell held to the opinion that it
was not wise, expedient, judicious or politic
to engage in the construction of great battle
ships. There was no necessity for it in
order to protect the national honor. The
American flag was perfectly safe in every
part of the earth and among all nations,
kindreds and tongues. The United States
could rely on securing justice without a
manifestation of physical or visible force.
He trusted, therefore, that his amendment
would be agreed to, and that the provision
for three battle ships would be struck out.
NEEDED TO ENFORCE THE MONROE DOC-
THINK.
Messrs. Ileagan and Voorhees supported
Mr. Cockrell’s views.
Mr. Stewart argued that if the United
States were to maintain its policy in con
nection with the Monroe doctrine it must
possess a navy that would enable it to pro
tect the weaker nations on the Western
hemisphere, and to enforce the decrees of
arbitration that might berendered. Either
the Monroe doctrine would have to be
abandoned or a navy would have to be
built up.
THE FOOL’S PARADISE.
Mr. Gray, while quite agreeing that the
strength of the United States depended
largely on the fact that the nations of the
world had become familiar with the power
of the republic to get ready when an emer
gency arose, did not think that reliance on
that power was exactly apposite to any
thing involved in the amendment. The
United States could not go on forever liv
ing in the “fool’s paradise,” relying on its
ability to get ready for a fight. It would
not do for the United States to fold its arms
and believe itself competent to maintain its
honor and dignity unless it had at least a
beginning from which preparations could
be made when an emergency arose.
BUTLER FAVORS A NAVY.
Mr. Butler opposed the amendment to
strike cut the provision for three battle
ships. Ho had supposed that the policy to
fo on and construct a respectable navy had
eon fixed and determined upon. He would
not only vote for an appropriation for the
three battle ships and cruisers, but he re
gretted that it was not in his power to vote
for eight battle ships instead of three,
as he should do without hesita
tion. While be did not look for
war between the United States and Great
Britain, it should be remembered that there
were some delicate and difficult questions
pending between the two governments. He
hoped that they might be settled by
negotiation or by arbitration; but, so long
as human nature was as it was, it was un
safe to assume that the United States was
m no danger of collision with foreign
powers.
BLAIR’S CHILDISH SIMPLICITY.
Mr. Blair moved to amend the provision
for three battle ships by inserting the fol
lowing: “But this provision shall not be
available until the government of Great
Britain shall have been requested by the
1 resident to withdraw all her naval forces
from American waters and to dismantle her
naval stations in both North and South
America, and in adjacent islands; and shall
nave declined, or Bhall have neglected for
°ne year to do so.”
OTHERS MISTOOK IT FOR A JOKE.
Mr. Blair advocated his amendment in a
manner that convinced the senators that he
lnt ®nded it to bo taken seriously.
.. r , • Hawley had at first been inclined to
think it was a fine piece of wit, and other
senators ridiculed it. Speculation as to
what might happen in case the Nicaraguan
t-onal Company failed to complete its uuder
taking was indulged in, and reminiscences
of the wr of 1812 were brought up in a dis
cussion between Messrs. Hawley,* Hoar,
Hale and Biair. Finally Mr. Hale appealed
to the Senate to come to a vote. Trie only
fault to be found with the bill was, he
'W§t Jttoftiing peto^
said, that it did not provide for eight battle I
ships instead of three.
BOTH AMENDMENTS DEFEATED.
Mr. Blair’s amendment was defeated, and
then a vote was taken on Mr. Cockrell’s
amendment to strike out the provision for
three battle ships. It was defeated by a
vote of 18 yeas to 33 nays, as follows:
Yeas —Messrs. Bate, Berry, Blair, Carlisle,
Cockrell, Coke, Dolph, Ingalls, Jones of Ar
kansas, Moody, Pettigrew. Plum, Pugh. Vest,
Voorhees, Walthall, Wilson of lowa and Wilson
of Maryland—lß.
Nays—Messrs. Aldrich, Allen, Allison, Bar
bour, Butler, Call, C'ameron, Cullom, Dawes,
Dixon, Edmunds, Eustis, Farwell, (ionnan,
Gray, Hale, Hampton, Hawley, Hiscock, Hoar,
Paddock, Pasco, Payne, Pierce, Platt, Tower,
Ransom, Sanders, Sawyer, Spooner, Squire,
Stewart and Stock-bridge—33.
On motion of Mr. Butler an item was in
serted appropriating $200,000 for a dry dock
at Port Royal, 8. C.; the whole cost of
which is not to exceed $500,000.
The bill was then passed and the Senate
adjourned.
WORK OF THE COMMITTEE.
At the meeting of the senate finance com
mittee to-morrow, the tariff bill will be re
ferred to a subcommittee for examination.
This subcommittee will probably be the
same, as the one that prepared the senate
substitute for the Mills bill in the Fiftieth
congress—Messrs. Allison, Aldrich and His
cock. The subcommittee will begin work
on the schedule within a day or two, as soon
as the necessary preliminary printing has
been done. The rate of progress they will
be able to make will depend upon the inter
ruptions to their sessions by interested
persons and delegations who come to plead
for the insertion of their views in the bill.
All such callers up to the present time have
been requested to put their views in writing.
Without interruption, it is expected by the
members of the committee thut the bill can
be returned to the Senate within ten days.
CARLISLE SWORN IN.
He Takea the Seat Lately Occupied by
Senator Turple.
Washington, May 26.—Hon. John G.
Carlisle of Kentucky, ex-speaker of the
House of Representatives, appeared on the
floor of the Senate this morning and was
sworn in immediately after the reading of
the journal. On the arm of his colleague.
Senator Blackburn, be made his way to
the left oJ,the Vice President’s desk, where
the oath was administered by Mr. Morton,
who read in clear, distinct tones its
terms. The Ceremony was witnessed
by galleries well filled, the press
gallery having an unusual number of
representatives in it. After subscribing to
the oath iu the secretary’s record, Senator
Carlisle was introduced to the venerable
Capt. Bassett, and by him conducted to his
seat. His desk is in the second row, on the
extreme right of the president of the Senate,
and was decorated with a large basket of
handsome roses.
A SHOWER OF CONGRATULATIONS.
He was there congratulated by a number
of democratic senators, the Kentucky dele
gation iu the House and other democratic
representatives who were present to see him
sworn in.
Senator Carlisle takes the seat formerly
occupied by Senator Turpie, who succeeds
to Senator Reagan’s, who has taken tho late
Senator Beck’3 chair.
The democratic caucus committee will
meet to-morrow to assign Senator Carlisle
to his place on the committees. It is prob
able that he will be given Senator Beck’s
place on the committee on finance and a
membership on several minor committees.
Senator Beck was a member of the com
mittees on appropriations, finance and
woman suffrage.
THE OVATION AN UNUSUAL ONE.
Mr. Carlisle had an unusual ovation. No
senator in recent years has been attended
by so many members of the House, includ
ing all the members of his own delegation,
to the bar of the Senate. After the vice
president Senator Ingalls was the first
member of the Senate to congratulate the
□ow senator, coming all across the chamber
to do so. Mr. Carlisle was touched by the
flowers and compliments he received, aud
most striking of all perhaps being the pres
ence in the press gallery of all the corre
spondents at the capital. To-morrow Mr.
Carlisle will get his committee assignment
and begin work.

BOUND TO HAVE A NAVY.
THU SENATE PASSES THE APPRO
PRIATION BILL.
An Attempt to Have the Clause for
New Battle Ships Stricken Out De
feated Senator Blair Suggests a
Decidedly Humorous Overture to
England—The Bublect Well Debated.
Washington, May 2d— The Senate this
afternoon resumed consideration of the
naval appropriation bill, the pending ques
tion being on Mr. Cockrell's amendment to
strike out the provision for the construction
of three heavily armed battle ships, at the
cost of #4,000,000 each. In the course of Mr.
Cockrell’s remarks, in advocating his amend
ment, he read from the report of
the naval policy board made some time
ago to the secretary of the navy till he
came to a declaration that "the United
States must maintain a navy at least equal
in strength to the most powerful navy in
the world.”
This started a long general debate upon
the question of the proper naval policy of
this country.
WORLD’S FAIR COMMISSIONERS.
The President Names the Men from
the Country at Large.
Washington, May 26.— President Har
rison to-day appointed the world’s fair com
missioners at large as follows:
August E. Bullock of Massachusetts, with
Henry Ingalls of Maine as alternate.
Thomas W. Palmer of Michigan, and
James Oliver of Indiana a? alternate.
Richard C. Kerens of Missouri, and
Robert W. Furnas of Nebraska as alternate.
Edwin Ilammidown of New York, and
Gorton W. Alien of New York as alternate.
Peter B. Widner of Pennsylvania, and
John W. Chaifant of Pennsylvania as alter
nate.
Samuel M. Inman of Georgia, and Will
iam Lindsay of Kentucky as alternate.
Henry Exalter and Henry L. King, both
of Texas, as alternate.
Mark L. McDonald of California, and
Thomas Burke of Washington as alternate.
Tiie President also signed the commissions
of the commissioners appointed by the gov
ernors of forty-nine states and territories,
including Oklahoma and the District of
Columbia.
POWERS OF THE COMMISSION.
The federal commission of 106 men ap
pointed bv the President has more control
over the fair, according to the terms of the
law, than the Chicago people thought when
they were here. Their idea was to make
the federal commission chiefly ornamental,
but their lawyers drew the act so that
seemingly the'determination of all impor
tant questions connected with the exposi
tion lies with the federal commission. Until
the federal commission is satisfied, and has
so certified to the President, that $10,000,000
will be provided by Chicago, and that 5
par cent, on $5,000,000 is already on deposit,
nothing can be done by the Chicago people.
THE INVITATIONS.
The invitations to foreign governments
are to be sent by the President on the
receipt of this certificate from the federal
commission, and presumedly the federal
commission will appoint the exposition
agents, who are to be sent to all foreign
capitals to advertise tho exposition, at an
estimated cost of $300,000 or $400,000, hand
some salaries being paid to secure ex-United
States ministers, if possible, to the countries
in question. All the plans for the exposi
tion, architectural as well as financial,
must be approved of by the federal com
mission, and it will have the disposition of
“the privilegen” around the exposition,
valued at $1,000,000. It is not strange that
friction between the federal commission
and the Chicago people is already pre
dicted.
PLUMB FULL OF PUSH.
His Tariff BUI Victory Will Greatly
Delay the Republicans.
Washington, May 26. —Pushing, pug
nacious Plumb bothers the republican man
agers in the Senate v?ith an occasional dis
play of obstreperous independence in which
he is very apt to have the assistance of the
democrats. Mr. Plumb takes a Butter
worth view of the tariff, and proposes to
follow it a little further than Mr. Butter
worth did. His action in getting through
the Senate to-day, in spite of the open aud
secret opposition of the republican man
agers, a resolution which requires a reason
for every change made in the tariff by the
finance committee, with a view especially
to each increase, will, uuless they
can devise a means *of evading
it, seriously embarrass and delay ther
republicans of the finance committee and
greatly help the tariff reformers on both
sides of the chamber. It makes it pretty
certain that no bill will be reported beforo
July from the finance committee. Chair
man McKinley does not like Mr. Plumb’s
implied statement that the ways and means
republican table of the McKinley bill rates
is inaccurate.
ORIGINAL PACKAGEB.
The Bonate Judiciary Committee Re
ports a Substitute.
Washington, May 26.—1n the Senate to

tee on judiciary, reported the following bill

considered to have ceased to be subjects of in
terstate commerce and be part of the common
mass of property w ithin the state or territory,
and be subject to the respective powers of the
state or territory In respect of all police regula
tions of prohibition, regulation or taxation.
DAVIS TO BE POSTMASTER
The Senate Committee Reports Favor
ably on His Nomination.
Washington, May 26.—The Senate com
mittee on postoffioes to-day reported favor
ably the nomination of Madison Davis for
postmaster at Athens, in spite of Senator
Colquitt’s vigorous protest, and it will now

of the committee to this action, having
heard that there was a possibility that
Wanamaker might recommend its with
drawal. Dudley of Americus is still held

BEVENTY-SEVEN CHINAMEN LOST.
A Ship Wrecked on Hennine’a Rock In
Behring Sea.
San Francisco, May 26. Capt. Ander
son of the ship Oneida arrived here last
night on the schooner Mary Kimball. He
reports that his ship was wrecked April 28
on Hennine’s rock, Lanck Island, in Behr
ing sea, and seventy-seven Chinamen lost.
The Oneida had on board 110 Chinese and
forty-five white men, nearly all of whom
were on their way to the salmon cannery on
Lanck Island. On the afternoon of April
26, when the Oneida reached her destina
tion, Capt. Anderson stated that he made a
run of about thirty miles to clear the south
west point of the island. At 9 o’clock at
night he supposed he was a long distance
from the island.
LOST HIS BEARINGS.
He could not see on account of a heavy
fog. He put back about three miles.expect
ing to pas3 on the opposite point. Instead
the vessel struck on Heimine’s roek, on the
southwest end of the island. A heavy sea
was on, and iu a short time the Oneida was
a total wreck. While some white men and
thirty-three Chinese escaped in boats or
floated ashore ou pieces of wreck, seventy
seven Chinese were undoubtedly drowned,
as they have never since been hoard of. The
Oneida had on board material for building
and running a salmon cannery which was
to have been erected on tho island.
