I THE MORNING NEWS, I Established 1850. Incorporated ISSB V I J. H. ESTILL, President. J 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. SESSION OF THE HOUSE. The Limit of the Cost of Jacksonville Public Building- Increased. Washington, May 20.—The House was called to order this morning by Clerk Mc- Pherson, and, on motion of Mr. McKinley, Mr. Burrows of Michigan was elected speaker pro tern. aDd took the chair amid applause.

The floor was then accorded to the com mittee on the District of Columbia, and Mr. Atkinson of Pennsylvania called up the Rock Creek park bill. The pending motion was one made by Mr. Blount of Georgia, to lay on the table the motion made by Mr. Hemphill of South Carolina, to reconsider the vote by which the House rejected the bill. The motion to table was defeated by a vote of 73 yeas to 122 nays. The motion to reconsider was agreed to, the vote standing: Yeas 118, nays 70, and the bill was passed by a vote of 107 yeas to 83 nays. The bill is the Senate'bill, but was amended in various particulars by the House, and will have to be returned to the Senate for its action. Other bills were passed relating to street railroads, bridges and other local affairs of the district of no general inter est. The House then adjourned. CAMPBELL'S GLASS BLOWERS. The Failure to Punish Him for Bring ing Them Over Aired. Washington, May 26.— The appeal of the workingmen of Western Pennsylvania for light on the miscarriage of justice in the case of James Campbell and others inter ested in the importation at Jeannotte, Pa., of English glass blowers in violation of the contract labor law has been given voice in the House. Mr. Kerr of Pennsylvania in troduced to-day a resolution of inquiry designed to bring out all the facts, which he had referred to the committee on labor. If it is reported to the House this week Mr. Kerr will offer a resolution in the House instructing the committee to report it. TO BE THOROUGHLY VENTILATED.

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 day Mr. Wilson of lowa, from the commit tee on judiciary, reported the following bill as a substitute for the original package liquor bill, now under consideration in the Senate: That when any intoxicating liquors shall be transported from one state or territory to an other, or from any foreign country, such liquors shall, when actual and continuous trans portation of the same shall have terminated, be 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 be coufirmed. Buck hurried the majority 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 “P- Movements of the Squadron. Washington, May 26.— A telegram was received at the navy department to-day from Acting Roar Admiral Walker, saying that the squadron of evolution would sail from Gibraltar this morning for Tangier, whence it would sail this afternoon for Rio de Janeiro, stopping at the Madeira Islands en route. Cedar Key’s Invaders. Washington. May 26.—1n the Senate to-day the resolut'on heretofore offered by Mr. Call, calling for information as tc the landing of an armed force from the rovenue cutter McLano at Cedar Key, F,a , was taken up, modified and agreed to.

After a long debate the ma jority report, which recommends that $27,000 be raised by assessment on the various conferences on the basis of the bishops' funds, was adopted. A good deal of debate grew out of the proposition to take from tho Holston con ference its North Carolina torritory and add it to the new West North Carolina con ference. Holston fought hard against this, but separation was finally agreed to. PRESBYTERIAN REVISION, The Permanent Committee of the Northern Assembly. Saratoga, N.

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. CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATION. The Conferees Agree and it Will Go Into Effect Aug. 1.

Allison and Mc- Kinley, who visited the department to-day, that it would be impossible to make the necessary arrangements beforo Aug. 1, and that date was inserted by the conferees this afternoon.
