TAX PRINCIPLES BY MR, MILLS

Short Sentences for the Beneiitof
the Senators and Members
of the Home.
Washington, Aug. 6.—The bill intro-
duced by Mr. Davis (Republican) of
Minnesota last Friday, defining option,
and future, and placing special raxes
thereon, was. a* bis request, read n
second lime and laid on the t'nblc.
Mr. Mills offered a resolution declar
ing that in the revision of the national
taxation these thnete principles be ob
served: That all taxes are burdens and
era only be rightfully Imposed to raise
revenue for the support of the govern
ment; that when taxes are Imposed on
imported goods, the rate should be so
low as net materially to restrict the
importation of the articles; and that
In selecting the antlclcs to be taxed,
only those ready for consumption
Should be chosen, and that nil others
Imported for manufacture or remiuu-
fuoture should be exempt from duty.
The resolution was, at Mr. Mills’
request, laid on the table temporarily,
Mr. Mills saying that he would call it
up in a few days and nuke some re
marks upon it.
A conference was ordered on the de
ficiency approprlaiiCon bill. Mr. Chan
dler's resolution for an Inquiry into
the facts connected with the organiza
tion and history of the Dominion Coal
Company of Nova Scotia was taken
up, and Mr. "Mills offered an amend
ment to it,.instructing the t-pecinl com
mittee to inquire also whether or not
any officer of -the government or any
member of congress was Merested in
any corporation or company engaged
mining coal In any of ithe states or
territories of the United States or 11
i.ny railroad company engaged In the
transportation of coal that would come
Into competition with Nova Scotia or
II .minlou coal In any uurktats of the
United Starnes, and whether Influences
have been used to maintain a tariff
tax on coal for ttoalr benefit; alto, na to
whether the removal of the ditty on
coal would'neduce Its price to the con
sumer In ally part of the United Stntes
and If so wlrat parts of the United
States would be so bem-IUed. The
rhcmrhlt yrhr sfl bg mf hd ::
amendment of Mr. Lillis maa appended
to Mr. Chandler’s resolution and was
treated as a substitute for it.A sugges
tion was made ns to having the Inqui
ry made by a new select committee of
live instead of by the Gray committee,
and after the Interchange of some re
marks by Messrs. Chandler and Mills
the resolution was modified in that
sense, and the resolution and substi
tute were discussed until Ithe close of
the morning hour, and the went over
without notion.
The house bill providing for the In
st octloo of Immigrants by United
States consuls was taken up, with the
substitute reported by Mr. Hill, from
the committee on immigration, for the
exclusion and deportation of anarch
ist*. where there now was no author
ity under existing laws of the United
S:a.tcs to prevent the landing of an
archists. The htws of the United
Stairs in relation to Immigration
seemed to (be remarkably well framed,
and would do much. If honestly nnd
rigorously carried out. towards pre
venting undesirable immigration. If
anarchists were not excluded, the Uni
ted States would soon become the
flumping ground of the anarchists of
the world. "Hence the necessity for
proposed legislation at tills time. It
w» not proposed in the Mill, he said,
... t ' h £ belief In anarchy a
crime, rnd. therefore It was not tvrees-
“fy to define what anarohtam was. No
Provision was made for Indictment or
Punishment, but provision was made
tnst n person known as an npseohlat
should not land In tilts country, nnd If
h-t did hind then certain proceedings
were to be take by or through the sec-
riiary of the are.iwtry, nnd that person
should be deported. Mr. Hill referred

BOOMING TILLMAN.
Senator Irby. Abusea Cleveland and
• Pleads for Tillman.
Charleston. S. C.. Aug. 6.—A special to
tho News and Courier from Laurens
says that Senator Irby mods a long and
rambling speech to a reform county
convention today. In regard to national
affairs, Senator Irby said in substance:
The proposed tariff law was a humbug
and a fraud, and but for the McKinley
taw being on the statute books he would
never have supported It. He did not
caucus -with the senators because of
tho sugar trust contamination. Cleve
land was x hypocrite und a fraud, and
no Democrat, but an aristocrat, his as
sociates being of the money power. He
(Irby) was a Democrat; would be tho
last man In the state to desert the Dem
ocratic party. He. himself, saved tht*
Democratic party intact two year* ago.
He said that his hearers were Demo
crats of the purest type; that the South
was Democratic. Tom Watson was a
bright young fellow, but he was Incom
petent and the South wanted a wise
Democratic leader (meaning Tillman).
Tho South and West must get together
with Boles. Tillman or Stevenson In
1896 and lie behind a log for Cleveland.
Stand to -the Democratic party, drive
out Cleveland and stick to the party.
Stand to the "reform” party,” he said.
It was the only salvation In this state.
Butler was a courteous gentleman and
had been polite and kind to him. Till
man represented his hearers' views
and they ought to support him for the
United States senate.
REPUDIATED A DELEGATE.
A Labor Delegate Denied a Certificate
Because die was a Soldier.
Springfield, Mass., Aug. 6.—The con
nectlon between labor matters and
military organisations which developed

surface 'here yesterday when George

field Central Labor Union to the for-
refused his credentials for the reason
refused Ms credentials for the reason,
he says, that he belongs to a military
organization. The officers of the Cen
tral Labor Unton denied that such*,van
the case an’d then later refused to talk
about it.
Mr. Hadd was elected delegate to the
federation of lslbor convention at the
July meeting of the Central Labor
Union. Kls credentials were signed,
but not given to him. fie asked the
secretary of the union for the creden
tials last week, but was told to wait
a While. Yesterday he sgaln asked for
them, end they were refused. His con
nection with company H of the naval
reserve waa brought up sa the reason
why he should not be allowed to go as
a delegare. The matter waa put «o a
vote, and It was decided to declare Mr.
Hadd’a election as a deiegte void. He
then left the meeting, and another del
egate was elected in Oils stead. Mr.
Hxdd will lay hit oase before the fed-
ebatkm of kfbor convention In Boston.

which characterizes our constitutions
and laws. In the spirit of that wise tol

•Washington, Aug. 6.—The caucus of
the bouse Democrats will be held at 3
o'clock tomorrow to consider what ac
tion Shall be taken to secure the early
passage of the tariff Will. At fgh’clook
this afternoon Mr. Bynum, one-of tho
members of the ways and means com
mittee, started through the chamber to
secure slgnutures for the call. A suffi
cient number to Justify the calling of
the caucus will doubtless be obtained.
It was not intended to agitato the ques
tion of a caucus before Wednesday of
this week, -and then only In the event
that an agreement was not In sight.
The report from the conference com
mittee today, which has been received
at the bouse end of the capital, indi
cates Unit the conferees are bUU far
apart, and It is for tlbls reason that an
effort will be made to Wild tho caucus
tomorrow to determine what action
should be taken In reference to the
matters In dispute 'between the two
houses.
Fifty-three signatures were attached
to the call, ond Chairman Holman of
the caucus commlbtc tonight issued the
call, naming 3 o’clock tomorrow and
tho hull of the house us the time and
place. Among tho signers were theue:
Springer, llylium. Black of Illinois,
Hooker, Geary, Dolores!, Brickner.
Washington, English, BuKey, Pattov-
osn, Sperry, allien, McNuguy, Martin.
Mugulre, nud Hart.
The success of the mow ore nit wns Se
cured -within half on hour from tho
time due pcUtlull was started. Interne
feeling wus developed as soon us the
caucus movement begun. Members
gathered 111 the Mibku and talked ox-
cltadly for and against (he suv- Itep-
resentuillvqs Strauss, Warner and oth
ers, friendly to the administration, de
nounced It,cte n "nre In tho rear."
Neither Speak's- Crisp nor ClisUminn
Wilson hnd boon consulted as to the
-caucus, and It was recognized as di
rectly In opiMxdtlon to their wishes.
Mr. Outhwuttc, un lusockute of Mr.
Crisp, on the cummd-tFv on rules, said:
"The caucus Is not Indorsed by the
committee on rutes nor by tho con
ferees. It Isrftvdently a move against
itlm lUniwVeonfl-reta. Members of tile
rules committee will probably eirlor
ithe caucus, but It Is expected -the con
ferees will remain a Way, In view of
the Met that the adverse action by tho
caucus -would be equivalent to n vote
of want ot confidence.”
'Mr. Strauss, n close friend of Sir.
Wilson, expressed Ihe opinion thait the
caucus would prove a boomerang. Ho
believes Mr. Wilson and the other con-
•Cmvw and itlrelr friends woufld attend
tho caucus and undertake to carry It.
With such men ns Speaker Crisp,
Chairman Wilson, Bourico Cookran and
others urging on the house conferees,
■Mr. Strauss did not -think nn antago
nistic resolution would paes. Mr.
Strauss sihl also that lie expected the
caucus would bring out norm startling
conference secrets whk-h would Insure
the confero-'s support from tho house.
Messrs. Springer nml Bynum innlto
no concvnhncnt of the faot Mist tho
caucus is for the purpose of ending tho
contest by nco-ptlng tbe senate bill.
Ill this connco'lon. they quote n slate-
met made to ahrtn'by Fcnator Mills to
the effect -Hut further bouse resist-
anon meant the killing of atl tariff leg
islation.
A BETTER FEELING PREVAILS.
Washington, Aug. A—When the Dem
ocratic tariff conferees ciune from con
ference today there seemed to be s bet
ter feeling among the conferees than
at tho close of previous sesslmu. Mem
bers from both houses announced that
the committee had been over the soiled-
uleo and that progress was being made,
but they did not indicate when a report
would be reached, though some of the
conferees expressed- the opinion tint an
agreement was In sight. For a consid
erable part of the day the senators
were not In the conference room, nut It
was stated that no significance war to
be attached to that fact, as they -were
all worklnx toward nn agreement.
These senator* occasion illy repaired to
the committee room of Benstor Veit,
and some were toiconsulUtlon with the
Democratic managers In the room of
the committee on appropriations.
Considerable surprise was expressed
by tho conferees when they leurned
that a call for a caucus of the house
had been Issued nnd It was evidently
very distasteful to the hbuse members,
who hnd felt that they were beginning
to sec nn agreement. Mr. Montgomery
•eld that the caucus would mike no
difference so far os he was concerned,
end he would continue the work he was
engag'd In unless . sumo action very
different from that which he sntlctpat-ril
should be taken by the caucus, lie
sshl that while tho caucus was in prog-
eras the conferees would be at work.
Senator Voorhetx Is ctlll confined to
his house, but tonight he gave out the
authorized Interview as expressing tho
position he holds upim the question
over which his colleagues are now
wrestling. "It seems to me.” slid he,
"there ought to be but little. If any,
difficulty In reaching an agreement be
tween the two housez. Tlie ways and
means eormnlttet of the house did not
In ihe first I ns trace report In favor of
free sugar, but were overruled by She
house, and free sugar was put In the
Wilson bill. I would gladly have con
curred In this, but it was ascertained
with nuHhenwUca 1 certainly that such
a bill could by no possibility pats the
senate. On this point of difference be
tween the two house!) I look upon ihe
president’s l iter to Mr. Wilson as a
help r.ither than a hindrance I'uirard
« compromise «ettlcm^nl. Th* conces
sion which the preaiiUnt idylse* tht
bouse to make on sugar Is liberal and
ought to be at onco satisfactory to
every legitimate sugar Interest. I can
entertain nb doubt.lt will furnish the
basis of a succeosnil sugar schedule.
Mr. Oaffery has announced In Ihe sen
ate. u« I understand him, that LjuI-
slin.i will accept 15 per cent, ad valo
rem without any reference to the trust,
sspecliUy If (he bounty, or it least s
portion of It Is continued to the plant
ers a few months longer. Under throe
circumstances I nm unable to seo how
the sugar Issue can remain any longer
an obstacle to nn agreement.
The only other point.* of serious
trouble ore embraced In tho question
whether coni und Iron shall bo free or
HH i tariff duty isld on them ot 40
cents per ton. These are exceedingly
small and Insignificant ltema of con
troversy on which to defeat a great
Mltoul system of revenue reform,
obstruct all li-giHliitiion looking to that
end, disappoint nnd derange every
business of the .country, greatly em-
b.ir.i:•■* th,. Iloitl.i.-vitii- party ami liuln-t
the gravest calamity on nil classes of
people. If legislation shall entirely ton
at -this time, owing to a stubborn disa
greement as to whether there shall bo
a small duty on coat und a email duty
on iron ore. or whether thceo two nrtl-
clcs shad be on ihe tariff free list, the
men who make that result Inevitable
may rest assured that they -wtll be
held In everiastlug remembrance find
everlasting execration; that they will
be burned In effigy from one ocean to
tho other, and their names will be pil
loried In the detestation ot the Ameri
can people.
"There is so little ground in my mind
now for a final disagreement that
those who oontlnue to insist on small
things und thus accomplish such disa
greement will bo held aa criminals by
all Just-minded people, llhe sugar
question belpg practically out of the
way, as I have shown by concession,
the senate ought, In my Judgment, to
concede -free coal und free Iron ore. nnd,
of course, it would do so but for the
membership In that body whloh can bo
counted upon the llngera of one hand.
I have pto disposition to reflect upon
tho motives of those who differ from
me In opinion, but this small minority
of the sent! to having substantially car
ried their point on sugar can very
easily and very honorably afford to
mako concessions on coal und Iron ore.
Such action on their part and the
great results whloh woifld follow wotlld
tie balled by tho American people as a
bteased deliverance from tho present
crisis In our affairs."
The gold reserve was further reduced
toduy by the engagement for export by
tomorrow's stoumor ot 3500,000. This
leaves the reserve standing at Jj“.025,-
615. Gold to the amount of 3200.000 was
gained in ordinary business In the
West, (but this normal gain Is being
daily wiped out -by the continual ab
normal export movement to Europe,
but tho ibaUmce, which Includes tho
gold reserve. Is stated today at 3119.-

saw the cutter ot this royal hlghneai
defeated. 1
The race recalled the contest betwees
the America and the British yacthti
ot long ago. The .weather was Jusi
about as variable as It was then, ani
the Yankee sloop won easily. Tht
Brittdnla had had luck and the San-
tanltu a breeze and a lack of breezi
that do not suit her. Shu nover hat
been so thoroughly defeated. Tht
course around the llttlo Island Is estb
mated to be about sixty miles. By
hugging the shore in certtiln placet
the racers hoped to lessen the distance.
The allowance given to tho Brittanls
