ALL AT SEA ON THE TARIFF.
The Democratic Committeemen Not
United Yet.
The Regular Meeting of the Finance
Committee Not to Be Slelcl To-day.
Senator Voorhec-s Unable to Saji
When the Committee Would Be
Called Tog-ether The Tax on Manu
factured Tobacco Discussed.
Washington. March s.—One hitch on
tbc tariff bill in the Senate committee ap
pears to tread upon another's heel, so fast
do they follow
When the democratic members of the
committee separated Saturday they be
lieved a forma! consideration of the work
to-day would result in final action.
Wnen evening came to-day, though. the
Senators found themselves more at sea
than when they came together. No one
ventured to say when the bill would be
laid before the republican members No
notice was issued for a meeting of the
finance committee and, inasmuch as
to-morrow is the regular meeting day.
Senator Yoorhees took the precaution to
personally inform his republican col
leagues that there would be no meeting.
When there would he he could not say,
but he contented himself bv assuring the
members of the committee that as soon
as the bill was ready he would call a
meeting
When asked during the day what prog
ress wa* being made, members of the
committee shook their heads dubiously,
and other democratic senators, notably
the “conservatives.” declared they could
not see how the hill could be got ready
abort of two or three days.
OFFICIALS BEPOHE THE COMMITTEE.
During the day Secretary Carlisle. As
sistant Secretary Hamlin, and Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue Miller, were
all before the committee. Mr. Miller was
there, as he had been bofore. to give the
information needed on revenue matters.
It is understood that a discussion devel
oping some warmth, was had this morn
ing when an attempt was made to recon
sider the tax fixed on manufactured to
bacco. It is said that the committee
raised this tax from ti cents a pound un
der the present law. to 10 cents. Senator
McPherson to-day endeavored to have it
changed to 12 cents and pointed out that
the manufacturers favored this, if any
change was to be. made, for it would not
interfere with the existing package sys
tems, whereas, if the disproportioned
amount of 10 cents were fixed, much of
the machinery now used in manufactur
ing would be useless. The committee is
understood to have resisted any effort to
change from the amount said to have
been agreed upon, as this would necessi
tate a complete overhauling of the rates
fixed on imported tobaccos.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEATURES.
The administrative features of the bill
received a great deal of attention to-day.
and the alleged failure of the Houso com
mittee to permit a through supervision of
this part of the bill came In for
some criticism. Secretary Carlisle
and Asistant Secretary Hamlin
have each gone carefully over this part of
the Senate bill, and many changes have
been made at their suggestions. Mr
Carlisle has been especially solicitous
that there shall be an entire absence of
ambiguity, and if his advice is followed,
much of the trouble found in the different
interpretations placed upon the adminis
trative sections will be avoided-
The members of the finance committee
took their luncheon at the capital pre
paratory to a night session, in the hope of
reaching a final vote on the question of
reporting the bill
The changes made by the sub-commit
tee are very numerous and begin with the
date on which the law is to go into effect,

hearing in the matter.
HEGIRA OF THE POLITICIANS.
Something- Behind the Trip of the New
Yorkers to Texas.
San Antonio, Tex.. March 5. It is re
ported here on good authority that there
is something important behind the move
ment of the leading democratic politicians
of New York to San Antonio. Hon. '
Frederick Coudert arrived here about a
week ago. and is still in
the city visiting his son-in-law.
Richard Croker, the Tammany leader,
has been here two days, and sa.vs he does
not know how much longer he will re
main. A private telegram was received
here last evening, stating that Hon. ■
Bourke Cockran is on his way to San
Antonio and would probably arrive j
Wednesday.
He is accompanied by his wife, who is j
an invalid. They will arrive here some
time this week.
GII.ROT ALSO COMING.
On top of this, a dispatch was received
here to-day stating that Mayor Gilroy
of New York, who is on his way to Cali
fornia, would arrive this week, stopping
off here a few days. Mayor Gilroy vis
ited San Antonio about two years ago.
and he is said to have suggested to tne
Tammany and anti-Snapper leaders that
this city would be a good, quiet place in
which io hold a conference.
Mr Croker was seen to-day by the
Southern American Press correspondent
and asked if the gathering of the
democratic leaders here was of
any significance. He replied that he was
not aware that any of the leaders were
coming to San Antonio. He expressed
surprise upon being informed that Mr.
Coudert was already here and claimed
that the fact that Messrs. Cockran
and Giiroy proposed to visit San Antonio
was news to him. It is also reported that
Gov. Hogg will visit San Antonio and be
present at the proposed conference.
Mr. Croker left tonight for the ranch of
John A. Morris, the New and ork horseman,
situated forty miles north of here. He
will return to San Antonio on Wednesday.

splendid services rendered to the Demo
cratic party by Mr. Atkinson, and his
skill, experience and equipment as a legis

of governor.
Mr. Atkinson thereupon discussed
modesty, yet with candor and courtesy
to his opponent, democratic doctrine anil
political issues, national and state, as
well as the claims of his
opponent himself for the
office of governor and the experience,
training, and qualifications, of each
candidate. His speech was received
with enthusiasm and applause aud was
prououuced the finest ever delivered in
this county.
It is not contested by any one that Ap
pling will send an Atkinson delegation to
the state convention.
Among the collection of flowejs pre
sented him by the ladies, was a handsome
basket sent by a young lady who lived in
Thompson, McDuffee county, during the
Watson campaign. It was presented in
recognition of the piendid service ren
dered by Hon. W. Y. Atkinson to the
democrats there during the heated cam
paign, and was addressed to the “people's
choice. ”

TFIE MORNING NEWS: TU ESDAY, MARCH 0, 1894.
SESSION OF THE SENATE.
The Seigniory % Bill Received From
the House.
Senator Allen Proposes a Change of
the Rules Relative to the Reporting
of Matters From Committees Sena
tor Cockrell Reports the Receipt of
Cart Loads of Letters From lowa
Relative to the Duty on Alcohol.
Washington. March 5. —ln t.he Senate
to-day the seigniorage bill was received
from the House, and was for the time be
ing laid on the Vice President's table.
A resolution for a change of the Senate
rules was offered by Mr. Allen, pop., of
Nebraska, and was referred to the com
mittee on rules. It makes it the duty of
a committee to which a hill or resolution,
or other measure, is referred to report it
back within thirty days: and in case of
its not doing so. the senator who intro
duced it is to have the right to demand
that it he rejiorted within five days from
the time the demand is made.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Platt,
rep., of Connecticut, and agreed to call
ing on the treasury department for a
statement as to the repayment of interest
paid b.y the government on state bonds
for the Chickasaw fund, and as to what
states are still in default, as to principal
or interest, and to what amount.
Mr Yoorhees reported from the com
raitte on finance a compilation of the
coinage laws of the government from 1739
to 1894. which he spoke of as a work of
inestimable value, got up by Mr. Dir
fette, clerk of the committee, and asked
that it be printed as a public document.
It was so ordered.
CART LOADS OF LETTERS.
Mr. Cockrell called attention to the
fact that within a few days past he had
received "cart-loads of letters'’ from
druggists in Missouri asking him to vote
against the tariff bill, because it in
creased the tax on alcohol, which they
described as one of the necessaries of life.
He could not understand, ho said, the re
ceipt of so many letters on the same point
and largely couched in the same language
until the inspiration of this manifold let
ter writing had been sent to him by a
good friend. That inspiration was a
circular from the lowa State pharma
ceutical Association of Dubuque, la.,
asking the druggists in Missouri to send
both their senators a protest against any
increased tax on alcohol an article
“more necessary even than tea or coffee. ’’
“Imagine that.” Mr. Cockrell ex
claimed. "alcohol absolutely necessary in
a prohibition county.’’ He asked that
the petitioners' circular be referred to the
finance committee, where the senator
from lowa (Mr. Allison) was a distin
guished member, so that he. might “con
sider this piteous appeal of his con
stituents.”
Mr. Allison had no doubt that the cir
cular represented the general view of the
drug trade; and, he added, sarcastically,
that thus far he had not been able to
make any investigation of the tariff ns a
member of the finance committee. The
petitions and circular were so referred.
THE SEIGNIORAGE BILL.
The Vice President proceeded as a
matter of form to take from his table
bills thereon and to have them referred
to the appropriate committees. He bad
reached the seigniorage bill and was
about to have it referred to the finance
committee, when objection was made by
Mr. Stewart. He said that he desired
the bill to lie on the table to be called tin
hereafter. Everybody knew what the
bill was and there was no use in referring
it to the finance committee, which had its
entire time taken up by the tariff bill.
This was a matter which
should precede any consideration
from the tariff, because until
the people had money to buy, the tariff
was unimportant. He offered as an
amendment a bill for the free coinage of
silver. Objection was made to the second
reading of the seiniorage bill, and it went
over till to-morrow with the understand
ing that the Vice-President would lay it
before the Senate at any time he pleased.
OPEN EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.
A resolution heretofore offered by Mr.
Peffer for a change of the rules so that
all executive sessions shall be open ex
cept in rases where the President of the
United States suggests that the subject
matter of his communication requires se
crecy, was laid before the Senate, and
after some remarks by Mr. Peffer, was
referred to the eommittee on rules.
The Senate then took up the calender in
regular order, the first bill upon it being
the one referring the McGarrahan claim
to the court of private land claims. On
the request of Mr. Morrill, who has here
tofore been the leading opponent of the
measure. Mr. Teller, who has charge of
it, consented that it should go over till to
morrow.
Three private pension bills were passed,
and then the Senate, on motion of Mr.
Gorman, went into executive session.
The doors were reopened at3:lso’dock,
when Mr. Morgan offered an amendment
to the tariff bill, providing for the ap
pointing of a board of tariff revision It
was road and referred to the finance com
mittee; and then at 3:20 o'clock the Sen
ate adjourned.
