tions that the sugar trust attempted to
secure his vote while the tarlfr bill was
under discussion in the house. Nothing
official has been given cut, but it is ua
derstood that Mr. Warner practically ad-
tnitted the statements made in the press
that when he was making his flpht for
free sugar in the house the effort was
made to cause him desist and the state
ment made to him that it was desirable
from, a political point of view thet sugar
should be given a duty.
Mr. Warner declined to mention names.
Mr. Gaston, the wire manufacturer, will

dents Rhrlver and Walker and were putC

THE ALA DAM A MINERS.
Th* Rumors of Bloodshed and De

Birmingham, Ala., June 1.—Th*
Age-Herald will print editorially to
morrow morning iii* fgiiuiitj; Ru
mors of warfare, distress, famine,
property destruction and bloodshed
h tvs been circulated by lame careless
or Irresponsible persons, and If the-,.
; calculate! to do serious injustice to
1 this section. Even last night a rumor
Was abroad ti ■; there was fighting
between the soldier,, and the miners.
I Ridiculously absurd. Tnere Is no w.,r

There the cltlsen eoldlera—the young
and Vircrc'.!? of Alabama—
are enjoying their annual season of
encampment; ara receiving careful
Instruction in the school of Jht- soldier
and at certain hour* ravelling In th*
eunshlne afforded by the presence of
ladles. Nearby may be ston squads
of peaceful but Idle miner*, who spend
their pestlme In witnessing th* drills.
Th* latter speak’ no words of harsh
ness and utter not a murmur. They
recognise th* fact that the soidler boys
have only responded to the call of
their state. Bine* the encampment was
fully established pese* »»t order have
prevailed. Thar* has been no turbulent
demonstration, but general acqulee-
cenc* In the situation.
The Age-Herald has carefully inves
tigated the condition of the mining in
terests and la gratified this morning
to be able to present facts and figure*
•which will no doubt prove surprising
to th* people at home and a misin
formed public abroad.
First, let It be borne in mind that
there I* no strike among the iron ror
r«ck miners; that with them aM i«
peace, quiet, work and pay. Tint fol
lowing figures as to the present out
put of coal In this district have been
obtained from reliable sources and
show that th* product Is about tn per

free labor, t.500 tons, ftlosa Iran and
Steel Company, by oonvlcts, W4; by

Th* prevailing Idea abroad := that -n

A HANGING IN G
Washington, June 1.—It la stated on
the best . authority that President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle have
been in entire and perfect harmony
ln all their actions in regard to the
tariff bill. Mr. Carlisle's part In the
preparation of th* sugar schedule of
that bill Is officially stated as follows:
Senator Jones called upon and in-
suTuiCu i, iiY* thit th—
had agreed upon the sugar schedule
and requested that he put It In proper
rorm. This tne secretary did. the para
graph prepared being one of a few
lines and providing that after January
1. 1835, there shall be levied and col
lected on all sugars a duty of 40 per
cent, ad valorem and upon all sugars
above No. 1C Dutch standard In color
there shall be levied and collected a
duty of 1-8 of 1 oant. per pound in
addition to the said duty of 40 p<r
cant, ad valorem.
Thl* amendment was sent to Senator
Jones at the capltoi. In the afternoon,
In response to ,a request of Senator
Jones, Secretary Carlisle visited the
capitol and was informed that other
Changes were under consideration, and
being requested to do so made some
Interi'aeatlons In the amendment so
that It,read: On and after January 1
18M, there shall be levied on all su
gars not above No. 18 Dutch standard
In color, and on all tank bottom syrups
of cane Juke or of beet Juice, mela la,
concentrated melada and concentrated
mol!*'-.... a duty ot 10 per cent, ad
valorem, and upon all sugars ah.ive
No. 16 Dutch standard In color there
shall be levied and collected a duty
of 45 tier cent, ad valorem."
As already stated. Secretary Carlisle
prepared the original amendment In
accordance with the compromise that
has been reached hy tne Dom , *lc
members of tne finance comm.. of,
and the alterations In the amendment
at the capitol were made to meet the
views of -he committee.
The remmlttea tt.-n decided that •
provision should be In-nrporated pro-
aiding that me Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty snnuiu not be aitevd—1 by tbs
schedule. The book containing tha
treaties was obtalnad by Secretary
.Carlisle from th* room ot th* foreign
committee and be wrote th* proviso
whloh preserves th* Hawaiian treaty.
All this Is In the handwriting of Mr.
Carlisle. The event tranepired an Sat
urday, May 5.
That night it occurred to the secre
tary that tha flrat paragraph of th*
achadul* providing for tb* repeal ot
the bounty fixed tb* dkte of tb* repeat
fur July 1, 1834, while tb* duty on
■ugar was not to be operative until -
January 1, 1838, Knowing It to be the
Intention of the co nmitte* to issue a
print of tha amended bill on Monday
Mr. CarUal* on Sunday morning took
a coupe and called at tb* houae of
Senator Jonts for tb* purpose of direct
ing atiention to tb* discrepancy. If
tb* bounty Should be repealed on July
1. 1134, and duty anould no more be
Imposed until six months tbareaftar
there would be a period during wblcb
there would be neither bounty nor
duty.
Mr. Carllel* was aatlafled that the
discrepancy would be discovered after
th* bill wa printed, but he naturally
desired tu save the committee from
th* criticism which would follow.
Finding that Senator Jonea had gon*
to th* ckpltol th* secretary drove thfra
and found Senators Jon**, McPherson
and Vest and Representatives Breck
inridge of the ways and means com
mittee engaged In going over tbe bill.
That visit on Sunday morning, May
If. waa th* only visit made by Mr.
Carlisla to the committee without an
invitation, and the change alluded* to
is tha only original migration he
made In connection with .the formula
tion ot tha bill.
With reference to tbe giving of a
latter to Mr. Havemeyer. introducing
that gentleman to Senator Mills, that
waa a mere matter of cjufteny. When
Mr. Havemeyer presented himself at
th* treasury department he waa In
formed that he should call upon those
who ware framing th* bill.
Mr. Havemeyer had a slight ac
quaintance with Mr. Mills, and ln
order to rave time and Insure him a
conference with tbe senator. Secretary
Carlisle, at tb* request of Mr. Have
meyer. gave him a note of Introduc
tion. There wae nothing improper or
unusual in this. Similar letters had
been riven by Mr. Carlisle to gentle
men who called upon him In connec
tion with tbe tariff, some whom were
manufacturers whom he knew and de
sired to secure jhanges in th* tariff.
Th* story that Mr. CarUile Insisted
on a certain schedule on auger for the
reason that the sugar trust had made
liberal contributions to the Democratic
fund Is denied emphatically by tb*
secretary.

At 1:40 the tariff hill was laid N>-
fore the sraiate. the sugar schedule be
ing the pending question, mul Sir.
Alanderson fRepubl!c.inl of NNiraaka
proceeded to speak upoa It.
Mr. Manderson spoke for thrie hours
end a half, the core of hi* argument
being that -hefe was a moral obliga
tion on con great to maintain toe bounty
system esubllahed under the McKin
ley ect anil that Ha maintenance until
IMS. when It le to cease, will Insure toe
home production of all the sugsr con
sumed In the United Stats* and thus
keep here the U15.000.3M a year which
otherwise would be paid for augtr to
the foreign ebuntriea He gave notice
of an amendment to continue In full
force and effect until July 1, 1(06, the
provision of the taw for the payment
of bounty to sugar growers In the
United States ’
Mr. rsffvr spoke fbr over thraa hours
In opposition to th* duty on-sugar and
In favor ot tha contluance of the boun
ty. arguing that th* sugar duty was a
direct tax on the poor man and that
to* poor man ought not to be taxed
on what he eats or what he wears, or
on any of the-necessaries of life Af
ter he closed his speech be got Into ait
amuring controversy with Mr. Hoar
over some of the theories which he bad
brought forward/
At last the discussion came to a
close and Mr. Hawley of Connecticut
took the floor to speak on tne sugar
sell'- lule. but ae It waa within ten min
utes of 6 o'clock he said he preferred
not to go on with his remarks and sug
gested that perhaps Mr. Harris, who
Is In parliamentary charge of the tariff
bill, bad some executive business to be
disposed of. Thereupon Mr. Harris, In
a most deliberate and Impressive man
ner delivered himself as follows:
"In answer to the senator from Con
necticut I will say that toe country la
exceedingly Impatient at the length of
time that has been conaumed In the
consideration of thl* bill. It baa a right
In my opinion to be Impatient. Th*
burinea* of the country hae suffered
and la suffering .lay by dey and hour
by hour by our Inexcusable delay. I
give notice that on and after Monday
next—*o tar as I can control It—th*
sessions of tha senate will tie continued
till much later hours than heretofore.
Now. In gnawer to tb* appeal of toe
seiu'.Vir from Connecticut I move that
the senate proceed to th* consldrretiqn
,f executive business.” (Iaiurbter).
After a brief executive session tb*
sente, at 6 p. in., adjourned until to
morrow.
IN THE HOUSE.
to consider bills on the private calen-
dlr -* division of the house waa asked
Rc,d on SIr - Bnloe’s motion,
which resulted: Ayes 60, nays 93. A
quorum not voting Mr. Reed demand
ed the yea* and naya. Tkla was an-
nonneed as yea* 84. naya 124. This
kil.ed Mr. Enloe'a motion and Mr.
Springer's motion waa agreed to. Mr.
Richardson of Tennessee took the
ohair.
Mr. Wheeler ot Alabama iVaa en-
tlt.ed to the floor, but yielded U Mr.
Broslue (Republican) bf Pennsylvania,
a member of th* committee on banking
and currency, announcing that he
would finish hla own speech later. Mr.
Broslus opposed the repeal of the bank
tax. Mr. Broslus spoke an hour and
a half and waa followed at 3.30 p. m.
by Mr. Swanson of Virginia, who
spofco In favor of th* repeal of the
law,
Mr. Henderson followed In a speech
against the repeal of the tax law. He
said that the bill and amendment were
not, in hla Judgment, of any great Im
portance, ut mi if the opinion of Attor
ney General Olney, quoted by hla col
league. Mr. Springer, be correct, aa It
seemed to him to be. there waa no ne
cessity for the passage of the bill or
amendment reported by the commit
tee. If It were not for the amendment
proposed by Mr. Cox he would not say
a word. But, believing aa he did, said
Mr. Henderson, that no greater calam
ity could befall the country, so far
as the currency was concerned, than
to go back again to the old system of
state banks, he would oppose that
proposition. Mr. Henderson quoted
Calhoun, Storey and Marshall to dem
onstrate that the states had not the
power to Issue paper currency, and
ifiai the iaw undet cuumuct «ti,,n TvAtt
not only constitutional, but of great
benefit to the people.
•Mr. Tucker of Virginia favored the
repeal of the tax. It was the same tort
of tax, be argued, that was found ln
the oleomargerlne bill and In the op
tions future bill. that was soon to
come before the house. It waa not laid
for the purpose of taxation, but lo
klH out an Industry a nd he was op
posed to the law for that reason. Mr.
Tucksr closed with a brief dissertation
on th* subject of money.
•Mr. Isler (Democrat) of South Caro
lina, the euccessor to Judge BTawley,
who Introduced the bill under discus
sion. believed that the repeal of the
tax would be a step tn the right di
rection. It would add to the volume of
currency and in a manner meet the
present demand for more money. He
