DEBATE CLOSED WITH SUEE DEFEAT In the Senate the Tobacco Schedule la Quickly Handled, and the Agricul tural Features of the Tariff Bill Brought Forward. Washington. June 7.—The bill to re peal the bank tax act was taken up at l-.uo, Air. .Turner, of Georgia, having fifteen minutes in which to speak in favor of the repeal and there being an hour and a quarter for argument against repeal, the time to be controll ed by r Mr. Dingley. In the Senate. At 10:30 the tariff bill was taken up, the question being on the tobacco schedule (F,) paragraph 184, as it came irom the house and as reported by the finance committee imposed a duty of $1 a pound on ail leaf tobacco suitable for cigar wrappers, if unstemmed, and $1.25 if stemmed. Mr. Jones’ amendment was to strike out the paragraph and substitute the following: “Wrappertobacco unstem med, imported in any bales, package or in bulk, $1.50 per pound; if stemmed, 12.25 per pound.” Mr. Jones, on behalf of the finance com mittee, modified the amendment by making the rate* $1 on unst>mmed wrapper tobacco and 5i.25 on stemmed. After discussion and at the sugges tion of Mr. Vest that the amendment remain as originally proposed, $1.50 and and $2.35 a pound, to save time and let the matter be considered afterwards in the senate, the Jones amendment as originally proposed was agreed to. To the next paragraph ()85) the fol lowing substitute was offered by the finance committee and agreed to : “Filler tobacco, unstemmed, impor ted in any bale, box, package or in bulk, 85 cents per pound : is stemmed, 50 cents per pound,” with various provisions. The next paragraph (380) remains as in the house bill, 40 cents on tobacco not specially providedfor. The next paragraph (187) was amend ed so as to make the duty on snuff 50 cents instead of 40. The next paragraph (188) was amend ed to read “cigars, cigarettes and che roots of all kinds, $4 per pound and 25 per cent, ad valorem, and paper cigars and cigarettes, including wrappers, shall be subject to same duties as here in imposed upon cigars.” 'This finished the tobacco schedule, and the next schedule (G) “agricultur al products and provisions,” was taken up. The first paragraph was 133, “20 per cent, advalorem on live animals uot specially provided for.” Mr. Hale moved to strike the paragraph and insert par agraph 247 of the existing law’, making the dutv on horses and mules S3O per head horses valued at $l5O and over to pay a duty of 30 per cent, valorem. Then followed the long debate of the day ; a very little of it devoted to tar iff subjects and a great deal of it to a wide range of subjects. Mr. Hale Aldrich. Vest, Dolph, Gallinger. Peffer and Cullom had more to say about the Oregon and Illinois elections than about the tariff bill. Stewart broke in with one of his usual speeches on silver. Mr. Hoar quoted with commendations a statement of Lord Salisbury in favor of protection ; and Mr. Cray met it with an equally strong declaration of Glad stone on the opposite side of the ques tion. That set Mr. Hoar off with a reference to Bismarck as greater than either Salisbury or Gladstone. Mr. Teller came into the Gladstone discuss ion and said his admiration of Mr. Glad stone was confined to two points—his great intellect and his great admiration for England ; but that there was not a charter in Gladstone’s history which indicated that his sympathy had ever gone beyound great Britian. The dis cus-ion assumed an accademic turn. The vote was taken and Mr. Hales amendment was rejected, —yeas 21-; nays 30. On this vote, Mr. Peffer voted aye: and Kyle populist of South Di. rota and Hill of New York voted nay. Mr. Allen did not vote. Mr. Hale then moved to make the iutv S2O, per head; and that amend ment was laid on the table, without a division. Iu the House. The eubject was further discussed by Mr. Bingraan republican of Pennsyl vania, Mr. Hall democrat of Missouri, Mr. Roberson, republican of Pennsyl vania, and Mr. Cockran, democrat of New York. The debate closed at 2:30 o'clock, and a vote was taken on the Cox amendment to repeal the ten per cent, tax outright. The vote was announced as. yeas 102 nays 170. The announcement was re ceived with slight applause. Th substitute of the committee on banking and currency for the original Brawley bill, suspending the operation of the 10 per cent tax as to the issues of certificates, etc. by clearing houses and other org-a izations last year, merolv changing the verbiage so as to ! make it more explicit, was defeated on ' a viva vote. Then the original bill was lost * This was the end of the ten days debate anti a result that oc casioned some surprise, and the an nouncement ua > r. ceived amid much confusion aud applanse. Mr. Holman moved that the house in ! comm ittee of the whole take up the Indian appropriation bill for the year ending June 30. 1895. Agreed to, and \1 r O’ Neill, democrat of Massachusetts, ZZi the chair. Mr. Holman asked that the first reading of the bill be aspensed with. Mr. Ray, republican f New York offer objected. The clerk oegan the task of wading through the 13S printed pages of the document, but had proceeded only a little way when in arrangement was affected by which lr Ray with irew his demand for tbe reading of the bill and Mr. Holman premised that t c house should adjourn. Adjourned at 3;-<i o'clock. JACKbOM, GA. 'IHUKbUAY, 7, 1894. GOSSIP FLOM BfIOABWAY. Perkhnrst tails l ;;(>n Patrolmen to Testify About Po)i<e Corruption. New York, June 7.- Albert S. Cald well. a well known member of the Pro duce and Consolidated Exchanges, died suddenly last night at his resilience, 885 St. Nichols avenue. .Mr. Caldwell had been connected with various bank ing interests in this city for the past thirty years. Several years ago he married the widowed daughter of Elias Howe, the sewing machine magnate. Mr. Caldwell, was a director of the Consolidated Exchange. lie was 50 years old. Death was caused, bv apo plexy. t orty-nine men working on ex-Com modore El bridge T. Gerry’s new pal ace, at Fifth avenue and Sixty-first street, struck this morning. The rea son for the strike is the importation from Paris of the marble for the man tle pieces. Under a rule of the trade unions of New York, enacted June Ist. last, no member of the organizations is allowed to work on any building in the construction of which foreign labor is employed. Yesterday's strike is the first one under the new rule. The Rev. I)r. Parkhurst yesterday issued an address to the patrolmen of the police force of New York City. He insists that the charges made by his society have been proved by the testi mony taken before the Lexow commit tee. He then urges the men to aid the investigation by coming forward and testifying to all the facts in their pos session. To induce them to do so he declares that the society and the com mittee have the power, and have made due preparations to fully protect every person who gives evidence. THE COFFINS TAKEN TO PRISON. “Bending ta the Btorm, but it Shall Not Break Us.” Indianapolis, .Tune 7. —Francis B, Coffin and Percival A. Coffin, who were sentenced to ten and fifteen years re spectively in the Northern penitentiary for defrauding the Indianapolis Na tional bank, left for the prison at 11:50 a. m., in charge of deputy U.

Carster son, rector of St. Paul’s cathedral, of which the Coffins were prominent members, called on them at the jail and offered to accompany them to Michigan City, which offer was ac cepted. The preacher came out of the cell with tears in his eyes. “It*s too bad,” he said, “but they bear up bravely under the awful strain.” F. A. Coffin said to a reporter: “Why you say anything about us? The pub lic is not interested in our movements. What does it matter to anybody but our friends how we passed the night? I slept well. I suppose that I shall sleep well wherever I am. I feel that the storm is on me and I am bend ing to it I don’t intend to let it break me. lam w aiting uutil it passes, and it will pass.” ROSEBERY’S HORSE WINS.

Intensified |>y the Determina tion of the Lair to Stop the lawlessness. Peoria, 111.. June 7.—One dead body, several men on the verge of the grave, a number of others seriously injured, $30,000 worth of property absolutely destroyed and many homes made deso late was the result of an att *mpt made by the miners of the Peoria district to close the mine operated by Little Bros., in Tazewell county, a mile or more back of Wesley City. The dead: Edward Blower, of Bar tonville, married; shot in side of neck and killed instantly. Injured: James Little, shot twice in the body; thought to be fatally injured. Peter Little, secretary shot in the left eye and in right arm; seriously injured. Peter Little, Jr., shot in the left side. W'm. Dixon, colored, shot in the right arm and through the left shoulder; may die. Several miners were shot, but they were taken away and no one could se cure any information from them about anything. The tragedy was the sequel of the meeting held at Bartonville the other day, about which there was so much secrecy. No one got the faintest inkling of what was done at the meet ing. Now everybody knows. It was decided at that time that the Little Bros., mine must close. Then there could be no equivocation, no quibbling, no half way measure. It must close and remain closed. In consequence of the conclusion ar rived at that meeting about 400 miners started out of Bartonville at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. They came from nearly all the mines in the district. Without anything having been previ ously said on the subject, except in the utmost secrecy, every man apparently came armed. They were desperate and were ready to use desperate means to accomplish desperate ends. Sheriff Frederick, of Pekin, Taswell county having - been advised of the trouble went to the mines with a posse. The strikers crossed the Illinois on boats and were met on the side by the sheriff who commanded peace and rea soned with them in vain. Led by a stalwart miner with a revolver in each hand, crying: “Follow me” they made a charge on the mine. The two Littles and their two sons and a t'oin.V j man retreated into the tower over the shaft and opened fire on the besiegers some of whom fell. The fire was returned and the men in the tower hoisted a white flag for surrender. The firing was hotly continued and the tower rid dled. The shaft was set on fire and the air shaft closed. The crowds fled in dismay as it was feared the powder house would be ignited. Later accounts show that of the par ty besieged, John Jackson, a negro was killed. Ed. Little was shot in the breast and may die. There were eight or ten miners in the shaft and it is feared all were suffocated. Among these are Gus and Fred Moritz and John Roekey, Ed. blour, one of the attacking party was killed and a half a dozen other strikers were wounded. It is believed two more of the strikers will die. The sheriff and posse have returned to Pekin. They were unable to handle the mob. The wildest ex citement exists. BISHOP FITZGERALD TALKS.

June 7. —The commencement exercises at the Greens boro Female college were formally opened yesterday by the baccalaureate sermon by Bishop Fitzgerald, of Atlan ta.

The Kstate of the Many Times Millionaire Reduced to a Nominal Sum and That Now Stands at the Mercy of the Court. San Francisco, Cal., June 7.—The claim for $15,000,000 filed against the Standford estate bj’ Attorney General Olney as a preliminary step to enforce the governments claim against the orig inal holders of the t entral Pacific grant, has awakened much interest here. It is now learned that the governments claim was presented on May 26, but that an attempt was made to ke. p the proceeding secret in order that the fi nancial operations of the estate need not be embarrassed. The late Senator Stanfords estate was recently appraised at $17,600,000. Since the appraisment heavy obliga tions have been met, and it is stated now that the enforcement of the gov ernment claim would practically wipe out the estate, not only leaving the widow penniless, but cutting off all the beneficiaries under the late senators will, including the endowment of $2,- 500,000 to the Stanford university. It is even said that the estate, after the liquidation of its acknowledged debts, may not equal the amount of the claim of the governm.-nt. In this event Sen ator Stanford’s deeds of trust under which Stanford university was founded would not stand in case the decision of the courts should be in favor of the government and the Uni versity would necessarily he sacrificed to satisfy the judgment. Mrs. Stanford in an interview has stated that the government claim will be resisted to the fullest extent of her ability. Today is the last day under the law which Mrs. Stanford has to accept or reject the governments claim. It is believed that she will simply ignore the claim, which in law amounts to re jection. It Will then be in order for the government to institute suit, either in the United States courts or the Su preme court iu San. Francisco. Attor ney General Olneys claim was filed in the probate court in San Francisco, be fore Judge Coffee, where the Stanford e tate is now undergoing settlement. FAITH AND MONEY IGNORED.
