BLAINE'S ATTITUDE.
Mr Gorman went on to speak of the bill
is freighted with oppression, that was of
Merest to the Maryland canning interest
bytaxfng tin, and be appealed for at least
a reduction of the duty on
foreign bessemer or6s, promising that
[be result would be that steel
■hips would be built as cheaply in Balti
more as on the Clyde. With that advantage,
be said, the prediction of the great repub
lican Secretary of State would be verified.
Secretary Blaine bad said, and said truly,
that wit iiu the confines of tlw bill there
wasnoitemor line that would open the
market to the agricultural products of the
United States.
AN EXPLANATION BY FRYE.
y r frye—The Secretary of State has
b“ii quoted several times in the Senate as
arguing that the McKinley bill did not in
any of its features open up the markets.
Kuw the Secretary of State was dealing in
that letter entirely with foreign and not
home markets, and it will be clear to any
senator who has read bis letter that he
intended to have said (and expected
to have been understood, that in the
McKinley t ill there was nothing to open
up the foreign market. Ido not under
stand that in the protective tariff there 19
any purpose to open up foreign markets.
It is the purpose of the protective tarifif to
i create u home market, which is worth in
bnitely more than any foreign market—
and that was undoubtedly the understand
ing of the Secretary of State, and not his
| purpose to reflect at all on the McKinley
bill, except so far as that there was nothing
in it intended to open foreign markets, and
he desired to have something put in in the
way of reciprocity by which foreign mar
kets might be opened up.
WHAT BLAINE WANTS.
Mr. Butler—Then I undurstaud that the
Secretary of State was in favor of opening
foreign markets to American manufact
urers!
Mr. Frye—Undoubtedly ho was in favor
of some reciprocal relations with the repub
lics to the south of us by which the market
:f the United States might bo extended to
them.
Mr. Butler—Then,in short, he was in favor
of opening foreign markets.
Mr. Frye—He was in favor of resorting to
some measure by which the high duties im
posed by the South American republics on
pr ductß of the United States might be re
duced and removed, thus enabling us to
tend our goods to those markets.
Mr. Butior—Then he was in favor of
opening up foreign markets to American
manufacturers.
Mr. Frye—He was in favor of opening
foreign markets to American producers of
provisions and breadstuff's.
Mr. Butler— Not of the manufactures of
the country ?
Mr. Frye—He said nothing of manu
factures. It is well understood that the
couth American republics cannot afford to
ppon their markets to all our manufactures,
because they depend entirely on their im
port and export duties for money to carry
on their government.
A REMARKABLE GLOSS,
“the remarkable gloss”
put by Mr. Frye on Secretary Blaine’s
e.ter.and he went on to read extracts from
ne letter to show that Mr. Frye’s interpre
a.ion was not the natural or correct one.

LAND GRANT FORFEITURES.
A Delay Granted at the Request of a
Railroad.
W ashington, Aug. 6.—The final meet
ing of the conferees on the land grant for
feiture bill for the purpose of signing their
report, which was expected to have been
held several days ago, was postponed at the
request of the Alabama senators. They re
ceived a request from parties interested in
the Mobile and Girard railroad,
a portion of whose grant is
declared forfeited by the bill, for opportu
nity to lay before the conf jreea some addi
tional information respecting that grant.
The conferees consented to delay final action
until that could be presented, and were
assured that the gentlemen who are in pos
session of it will be here to-morrow.
FORCE BILL CHANCES,
A Claim That It Can be Passed Under
the Present Rules.
Washington, Aug. 6.—The force bill
republicans in the Senate have been circu
lating the report that the force bill could
be put through under a closure without
changing the rules, and that all that was
necessary was for the senators in charge of
the bill to move the previous question on it.
Senator Edmunds was quoted as supporting
this position, and the passage of the force
bill immediately after the tariff bill was
predicted. Senators Quay, Teller and other
anti-force bill republicans say that there is
nothing in this and that the bill cannot pass
without a change of the rules, and that the
rules are not to be changed.
GROSVENOR AFTER REED.
The Speaker Calms Him Down With
* a Promise.
Washington, Aug. 6. —Representative
Grosvenor of Ohio started in to outdo
Representative Strubble in the House to
day by attacking Speaker Reed for delaying
his Chickamauga battlefield bill. Speaker
Reed found out just as soon as he had
recognized Representative Grosvenor wbat
he was going to do, and took him off his
feet with a conference report. Mr. Grog
vener was very angry, but, going up to the
speaker’s chair, told him privately what he
thought of him. Speaker Reed calmed him
down by promising to recognize him soon
to call up his bill.
COMPOUND LARD.
Tba Friends of the House Bill Trying
to Get It Through.
Washington, Aug. 6.—The friends of
the anti-compound lard bill have secured
from Speaker Reed a promise that they
shall have a day for thoir bill as soon as the
deficiency bill is out of the way. They
will bo antagonized by the elections com
mittee with more election contests, but hope
with Sueaker Reed’s help to get the bill
up and have it passed; but Mr. Mason of
Chicago, who will lead the republican op
position to it, says it will, if it passes, be
buried in the Senate agricultural commit
tee.

RUM’S RIDE ON THE RAILS
THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE BILL RE
PORT BEFORE THE HOUSE.
Representative Oates of Alabama Dis
sents from the Action of the Con
ferees—Representative Reed of lowa
Opens the Debate in a Speech in
Support of the Report.
YVashington, Aug. 6.—ln the House this
morning, the regular order having been de
manded by Mr. Enloe of Tennessee, Mr.
Grosvenor of Ohio rose to a question of or
der. He insisted that it was the duty of the
speaker at this time to lay before the House
tbe bills and other matters of publie inter
est that have accumulated on the si eaker’s
table. He himself has had on tbe table for
two days a bill which could be passed in a
moment. He referred to the bill to estab
lish a national park on the battlefied of
Chickamaugua.
The speaker stated that the gentleman
from lowa (Mr. Reed) had presented a con
ference report, which of course had prefer
ence.
Mr. Reed then presented the report on
the “original package” bill. The report
leaves the bill exactly as it passed the
Senate, and is dissented from by Mr. Oates
of Alabama, one of the conferees.
the previous question demanded.
Mr. Reed demanded the previous ques
tion, against the protest of Mr. Oates, who
wished for a longer time for debate than
the forty minutes accorded under the
rules. The previous question was ordered
by a vote of 103 yeas to 96 nays. Mr.
Oates, having voted in the affirmative for
that purpose, moved a reconsideration. The
motion to reconsider was laid on the table
by a vote of 107 yeas to 95 nays.
The forty-minute debate was opened by
Mr. Reed of lowa with a speech in support
of the conference report.
has not changed his views.
He said that it was due to him to say that
he had not changed the views expressed by
him in the report of the committee of the
judiciary in favor of the House bill. His
view was that property of every description
brought into a state for sale should
be sold iu accordance with the rules of
that state. He became, convinced early
in the conference that it would be impossi
ble to secure the passage of such a measure,
and. therefore,|he had yielded his judgment
and agreed to a bill which would remedy
an existing evil. He proceeded to argue in
support of the power of a state to pass pro
hibitory laws and to seize intoxicating
liquors imported contrary to its laws from
a foreign state.
OATES AGAINST IT.
Mr. Oates announced himself as oppose 1
to the Senate bill on account of its phrase
ology and on account of its narrowness.
He believed that congress ought to adopt
broader legislation on this question than
was proposed by the Senate bill.
There was a wide difference be
tween the constitutional power of
congress and the police power of a
state. Every article of commerce was not
primarily subject to the police law. If it
were the power of a state would be suffi
cient to overturn the constitutional clause
which vested in congress power to regulate
commerce among the states. He was in
favor of state rights, but he was also in
favor of federal rights. He opposed the
bill because it indorsed the doctrine of vio
lation of personal rights.
A RAP AT THE SUPREME COURT.
Mr. Springer objected to the Senate bill
because it was an attempt on the part of
congress to give validity to the laws of
lowa and other states which the supreme
court had held to be in violation of the con
stitution of the United States.
Mr. Hayes of lowa was opposed to the
proposition contained in the Senate bill,
believing it to bo an attempt to Inveigle
congress into ail approbation of prohi
bition, and to be a denial rather than an
affirmation of state rights.
Mr. Hitt said the necessity of prompt
action to stop original package saloons was
so urgent that this bill ought to pass to-day.
It did not do ail things, but did one great
thing. To wait for a broader bill covering
other articles was to risk having no action
and leave tue liquor sellers free to come in
from adjoining states as the grasshoppers
descend on the field, and turn quiet vil
lages that never saw a saloon into noisy
brawls.
The conference report was adopted by a
vote of 120 yeas to 93 nays.
JUMPING ON JOHNNY DAVENPORT.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the general deficiency bill. A
verbal amendment presented an occasion to
Mr. McAdoo of New Jersey and Mr. Turner
of New York to criticise the action of John
I. Davenport in conducting elections in
New York, and Messrs. Farquhar of New
York and Grosvenor of Ohio to defend that
gentleman. The discussion then became
more general and was participated in
by Messrs. Hopkins of Illinois, Herbert of
Alabama, Crisp of Georgia, Flower of New
York, Payne of New York and Buchanan
of New Jersey, John I. Davenport and the
federal election bill being the objects of
attack by the democrats and of defeuse by
the republicans. The discussion was finally
closed by a remark by the chair that the
qu stion under consideration was the de
ficiency in the appropriations rather than
deficiency in political elections. Without
disposing of the bill the committee rose and
the House adjourned.

WANTS TO BE BID OF A HUSBAND.
A Woman Surprised by Finding One
in Bed With Her.
Atlanta, Ga. , Aug. ft.—Mrs. L. Dyer has
entered suit against her husband on .pecul
iar grounds. The husband could uot, this
afternoon, be found by the sheriff’s deputy,
but, according to the woman’s story, ho had
recourse to drugs before he could manage to
obtain her consent to matrimony. She
says in he declaration: “Tho peti
tion of Mrs. L. Dyer shows that she
married William E. Dyer on Dec. 23, 18*9;
that said Dyer had pressed his suit for
nearly two years, but she had decidedly re
fused him at all times; that on the night of
Dec. 23, 1889, he, by the use of fraudulent
means, succeeded in marrying her,
said fraud consisting of intoxicating
drinks till she did not know
what she was doing; she only] remembers
very indistinctly what was said or done
about her marriage; that said marriage
was entirely against her will and wishes,
and when she recovered from the influence
of said intoxioanta, so fraudulently usod
upon her, she made said Dyer leave her,
and has never lived with him at alt." It is
said that Mrs. Dyer went to bed on Dec.
23, last, without the faintest .idea that she
had a husband. The next morning she was
startled by discovering the fact, and, re
ports say, assaulted him viciously with her
heels ou the idea that he had no right to be
near her in that capacity.

"Parties unknown broke open the jail here
last night and released Oldie Rice and Sam
Edwards, who are charged with the murder
of Jerry Forlham in Liberty county,
and were placed in the Quincy jail by the
Liberty county authorities for safe keeping.
Edwards and Rico are well connected, and
as the evidence is very strong against them
it is generally believed that their friends
released them.”

Baton Rouge, Aug. ft.—The Farmers’ Al

them by the secretary. President Adams
cites the fact that the alliance was the first
secular organization to announce its oppo
sition either to the reohartering of the Lou

any lottery. This opposition stands as a
pledge on the part of the order which must

BLAINE COMES TO TERMS.
ALDRICH’S RECIPROCITY AMEND
MENT ACCEPTED.
It Will Leave the Adoption of the
Secretary’s Suggestions Entirely in
the Hands of President Harrison— i
Reed, Belden and Clarkson at the |
White House at Night for a Confer
ence.
Washington, Aug. 6.—President Harri
son had Chairman McKinley and Senator
Aldrich at the white house to-night, and
conferred with them about the reciprocity
question as affected by his conference with
Secretary Blaine at Cape May point, which
they had induced President Harrison to
hold. President Harrison made a full re
port of the interviews between hitnself and
Secretary Blaine, and gave the conclusions
they reached as far as any definite conclu
sions were reached. It is difficult to get
to-night either these conclusions or the
programme to bo followed in congress,
but thero is good reason to believe
that President Harrison brought Secretary
Blaine to see that the party interests, to
say nothing of their personal interests, de
manded an appearance of harmony, at
least, and that Secretary Blaiuo, satisfied
with stirring up the country, expressed a
willingness to compromise on a form of
reciprocity like that suggested by Senator
Aldrich, giving the President discretionary
power over duties, which may mean any
thing or nothing.
THE EFFECT.
This would gratify the demand which
Secretary Blaiue has stirred up for reci
procity, and at the same time would not
seriously affect the McKinley bill. It does
not appear as yet whether President Harri
son will press this proposition iu a special
message or Secretary Blaine in a letter or
interview, or whether both vebiclos are to
be used. The one thing which does appear
clearly is that President Harrison succeeded
in forcing Secretary Blaine to a truce,
however temporary, which would give the
republican managers a chance to catch
their breath.
A LATER CONFERENCE.
Messrs. Reed, Belden and Clarkson were
also called into consultation at the white
house to-night, They remained to a later
hour than the others, and discussed not
only reciprocity but the force bill, and the
condition of the republican congressional
committee, which is not satisfactory to F’rosi
dent Harrison. President Harrison and the
rest urged Mr. Clarkson to take the secre
taryship of the congressional committee,
but he declined. They all agreed to press
the force bill on the senators.
SALISBURY AT A BANQUET.
Reviews the European Situation
“ ln a Speech.
London, Aug. 6. —At a banquet at the
Mansion house this afternoon Lord Salis
bury, In a speech, enlarged upon the pacific
aspect of Europe during the six years of his
government. The powers of Europe, he
said, never presented so uninterest
ing an aspect from a war point
of view. The tendency to a settle
ment of disputes on terms of
compromise was spreading fast and influ
encing every power. Tho African agree
ment proved tho desire of leading powers
to maiutain amicable relations. Referring
to Egypt, the premier said that nothing in
the course of his administration had been
more satisfactory than the country’s steady
progress toward financial equilibrium.
the country’s future.
The future of the country was a diplo
matic matter of some delicacy. It was
owing to English energy that Egypt flour

AIIIS HORROR
KEMMLER NOT KILLED BY
THE FIRST SHOCK.
DEATH SIM AT BEST-
His Body Lifted Up by tie
Current.
SMOKE FROM HIS FLESH.
The Sight So Horrible that One
Man Fainted.
Auburn, N. Y., Aug. 6.—Between 6 and
7 o’clock this raorniDg, in the basement of
tho state prison iu this city, William
Kommlor wag killed iiqdrr tho law by use
of electricity.
On March 29, 1889, he murdered his mis
tress, “Tillie” Ziegler, and his death to-day
was in expiation of his crime.
Ho breakfasted lightly between 5 and H
o’clock, and religious services woro held.
He made his own toilet.
He was cheerful, cool and without ap
parent dread.
IN THE CHAMBER OF DEATH.
He entered the death chamber about 6:30
o'clock. He assisted in preparing himself
for death. He was placed in an ordinary
chair by tho warden, who introduced him
to those prosent. He made brief farewell
remarks. There were no prayers in tha
death room. The man was evidently devoid
of nervous tension. His voice while speak
ing hod no tremor. He submitted to the
straps quietly. He directed the adjustment
of the electrodes. He made suggestions to
the warden, and finally sat without a tremor
to await the stroke.
THE FIRST SHOCK DIDN’T KILL.
A oonvulsion marked tbo application of
the electricity. Ho was said to be dead in
seventeen seconds aud the current was
stopped. Later respiration was resumed,
the current was again applied and injfthir
toen minutes from the first stroke he was
again declared dead. The flesh on his back
was burned and also a spot on the top of his
head. The autopsy was begun three hour*
after deavh, and its superficial disclosure*
were noted by all tho doct r* present. A
miscroscopic examination later must deter
mine the exeat conditions.
ROUSING THE WITNESSES.
At 5 o’clock this morning Landlord
Gregory of the 0->borne house, holding iu
one hand a list of room numbers, stood iu
his office tapping the push buttons that
rang the electric fire boll in each of the
rooms indicated upon his list. In them were
sleeping persons who had boon summoned
by the prison warden to witness the death,
of murderer William Kemmler by elec
tricity. Almost simultaneously porter*
were heavily thumping at the rooms corre
sponding to tho numbers on the list. There
was to be no mistake about the efficacy of
the summons, and there was not. Doctor*
and laymen hurriedly d'essed, and while
they did so the sun was laying its bars of
light level over the city of Auburn. Th
sky was cloudless, the air 0001, aud a slight
breeze swayed the tree tops.
THE EVER-VIGILANT NEWSPAPER MEN.
The men of the press had been vigilant,
and they, too, came trooping from the ip
rooms to join the others at coffee and roll*
before going to prison. In the pocket of
each guest of the state was a card bearing
an order of admission to the priso i, and
before retiring each had been privately
warned to present himself at the prison gate
not later than 6 o’clock this morning. Home
were there at the hour named hut other*
wero not, and Warden Durston, under evi
dent nervous tension, was pacing the hall*
and peering down to the big iron gate at th*
entrance, impatient of the delay.
THE DOCTORS TARDY.
The stated hour had expired and fifteen
minutes more before Dr. Spitzka arrived
with a case of Inst: umeuts in bis hand. Drs.
Hhrady and Jenkins of New York were ye*
missing; they wero yet at the botol table.
At 7 o'clock 1,200 convicts would l e marched
out from the rues* room to the shops, and
then the belting to operate the dynamo
away down in ihe loft of the marble shop*
could uot lie run on without the prisoner*
knowing that Kemmler was about to die.
FEARS OF A CONVICT REVOLT.
No one eould tell what spirit might ba
developed by the men iu striped clothes if
such a knowledge was forced upon them.
The agent and warden therefore grew mo
mentarily more impatient. He would have
the execution all over, if possible, before
tiie men w ere astir iu the shops. “Gentle
men, I will not wait any longer for those
who are not here,” he exclaimed at length,
after peering the last time down to the iron
gate. "This affair cannot be made subject
to personal convenience, and I think it un
fair to mo that I should have been kept
waiting until this hour.”
ONLY 37 MINUTES TO SPARE.
The big clock in the main hall then
marked 6:23 o’clock. Only thirty-seven
minutes were left in which t > take Kemm
ler'* life before the convict* would bo re
leased to work . Acquiescing silently
those waiting in the co 1 breeze of t>e hall
gathered about the warden, who led the
way to the rear hall, where a guard with
the groat key stood to open and close the
door to the basement region of the prison,
GOING WHERE DEATH LURKBt).
The huge iron bolted barrier swung book,
the warden led the way and the silent
