I Orally, I Sling!* Slinglo Copy, ft Cent*. the law makers OF THE NATION ^ Bill Defining Options and Futures and Taxes Thereon Read a Second Time. TAX PRINCIPLES BY MR, MILLS lie Embodies Hie Tariff Views In Tbr.-« 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.

The resolution was agreed to. Mr. Paynter (Democrat) ot North Carolina, who made the report of the majority of the committee on elections In favor of ’Settle (Republican) in the contested election case ot Willlms vs. Settle, from the Fifteenth North Caro lina district, and which was set for consideration today, stated that under an agreement made this morning the case would go over until next session for action. Mr. Woodward (Democrat) of North Carolina, who made the report In be half of Williams, has been called home, and it was deemed best to let the mat ter go over aa announced. Mr. Johnson (Democrat),, of Ohio presented the memorial of Che Central Dfbor Union of Cleveland, preferring charges against August J.

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 Id the kite Chicago strike, came to the surface 'here yesterday when George H. Hadd, the delegate from the Spring- 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. INDEMNITY MAY BE DEMANDED. London, Aug.

Tire increase is mostly in the White counties. Col. Oates, who arrived fibre this afternoon. My# he Is /l/nddent of hot less than 20,000 majority, and that tho senate has a good Democratic majority and thj house at least ten Democratic majority. Chairman Tompkins of the Demo cratic committee feels (safe In claiming 35,000 majority for the Democratic tloket and a good reliable majority In both branches of the .legislature. At this hour (midnight) their estimates seem to be borne out by tbc returns that have been received. BIRMINGHAM’S VOTE. Birmingham, Aug. The election was everywhere quiet sof nr as known. The new Australian ballot taw worked like a charm. Returns up to midnight Indicate that Oates’ majority wilt run considerably over 20,000, while the legis lature Is Democratic In both branches, with a majority of more than ten on Joint ballot. Morgan’s return to th* senate Is as sured. This (Jefferson) county was the seat of war, nnd though Democrat* have lost heavily they have elected their entire ticket by from 500 to 1,000. The returns In tlhe Slate Indicate Oates’ election .by a majority not greatly differing from that of 1892. Kolb Is gaining In five dr six counties, principally 4n Jefferson, where Demo crats navd lost over 2,000. Oates’ gains are generally distributed over the state and are In the white counties. MOBILE FOR OATES. Mobile, Aug. 0.—Returns are coming In very slowly. The First, Second and Third city wards give Oates 30* ma jority. The Fifth is fo* Kolb by fifty votes.

(1.—In tho Demo cratic county conrontloo, belli In this city Saturday, composed of nearly a thousand delegates, resolutions were adopted Indorsing the Wilson bill, urg ing congress to stand by It nml praising President Cleveland for his "patriotic letter" to Its author. Issue was taken with the American Protective Association in the following resolution: “We believe aud declare that the policy and principles of what Is called tho American Protective As sociation are illiberal, unwise, unpatri otic. undemocratic and ira-Amcrican. In tho spirit of that religious freedom which characterizes our constitutions and laws. In the spirit of that wise tol eration and generous statesmanship which seeks to accord to all, whether protestmt or Catholic, the rights and privileges of American citizenship, we call ui»o every man to do battle ugainst such an organization.” Or There Slay Be a Wider Chasm Forced by Obetlaalo Contention—Louis iana Senators Are Coming to Thetr Seneee, ANARCHISTS ARRESTED. Rome. Aug. «.-fllx Anarchism w<-re arfested while holding a secret con ference here last evening. It Is esti mated that 2.000 Anarchists who wetre arrested by the police In the raids of the last two months, will be deported. A group of fifty bos already been sent to Naples to embark for Muouuwab, in the lied sari. •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.- 177.000. The .president today nominated Amos M. Thayer ot Missouri to bo United Stoles circuit Judge for the Eighth Ju dicial circuit (asprovlded July 23, 1894) James D. Porter of Tennessee to be United States Judge for the eastern and middle districts of Tennessee, vice D. -M, Key, resigned; H. S.

THE VIGILANT BEAT ’EM BOTH The Britannia and Satanita Out-Sailed by tho Pretty American Centre board Sloop. EMPEROR WILLIAM SAW THE FUN Decides There Were Many Royal Spec! twtors Whoie Hearts Went Down When Prince of Walee* Cute tor Was Lott Aetern. Cowes, Aug. 6.—Porty-tbreo yean ago, when Queen Victoria was In hei matronly prime, she saw the wwlftesl of England’s peerless pleasure fleet dw fcated. by ihe Yankee scltoonei America. Today her soTi, the Prince ol Wales, saw (hla own cutter, the Brit, tanla, vanquished handsomely overthr sums course, from Oowes around tin Isle of Wight, that tho America tra versed when she taught British tart the value ot « beamy model. Ttho em peror William and his suite came Inti the roads late in the afternoon ani 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.
