twenty-four hours, he as.ld. these aenutora
had, every one of them, “turned tail**
ahd voted the other way. The people
of the North, ne said, Irould take ac
count of that matter. Senators on the
other aide were renewing the old atory
of thirty-rlve years ago and were driving
the Northern people to a point beyond
which no more could be borue. The day
of flnnl reckoning was not here; It waa
somewhere else. The people of the North
would take a stern account of ttxat mat
ter and woul l hold the .Democratic party
to a severe reckoning.
Mr. Mills replied^to Mr. Hale. He had
the cl/ thrown across the chamber of
ftoctlnn:dJiim. Whenever that cry waa
raised, he regarded it aa the cry of “atop
thief.” It waa always raised by some
onr who waa fleeing before the police
with stolen goods under his shirt.
(Laughter.) UcpibUcan senators ought
to have said something about it the
other day when they were voting from
to to 100 per cent, on Sumatra tobacco,
for the benefit of the tobacco growers
of Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Both
the duties of Sumatra tobacco and rice
were too high. They were neither of
them revenue duties. Both of them ought
to be reduced. They ought not to exceed
25 or so per ««®t But Democratic sen
ators had to take the blast, doing the
best they could with It. The bill waa
nut simply a bill to reduce duties on
rice. It waa a bill to reduce duties on
women and cotton goods, snd In order
to do that. Democratic senators had to
submit to some high duties, like those on
Sumatra tobacco and rice.
Tor th» remainder of the day a session
there waa a constant Interchange of per
sonal attacks between senators on oppo
site sldc3 of the chamber, which caused
much amusement to the galleries. Mr.
Hale offered his condolence to .Mr. Mills
for the “humiliating nnd exasperating
condition” in which the senator from
Texas found himself. The Democratic
party, he said, was under Indictment. It
was being “hunted” like a fugitive from
Justice; It was appealing to the Itepub-
ltcan aide to “let up on it, 1st it alone;
but Democratic senators would Uve to
understand that they belonged to a hunted,
party, and the Republican side of the
chamber would not stay Its hand ono

much more tired than It*sms nos.-., ^
Mr. Berry made some bitter remarks

Indian Appropriations Bring on a
Lively Running Debate.
Washington, Juno l.-Tho resolution
Introduced yesterday by iui
tao on ventilation and accoustles pro
viding for the adoption of a tempo
rary change In the method of ventila
tion of the house wing. Involving en
expenditure of »T00 a mouth, was called
up by Mr. Bhell (Democrat) of South
Carolina, chairman of tbt committee,
and the house went Into oounntttee or
the whole over tho objection of mem-
bore of tfu' committee on Indian af
faire for lt» consideration. Mr. Shell
explained the condition of the vaults
and' basement of the capitol as found
by th® committee and reported a few
daya ago/whlch. In brief. In that lt l.
dangerous to tho life and health of tho
occupants of the balls of congress.
Architect Ciark. In charge of the eepl-
tol building, came In for a good deal
of aharp criticism In the course of the
debate Mr. Walker o€ Maaaachoeett.
denounced him as thoroughly Incom
petent. Mr. Holman's opposition to
the resolution upon tho plea of econ
omy also came under Walkers crili-
clim. and that provoked a sharp re-,
tori' from Mr. Holman. Finally the
resolution was reported fnvorab.y to
the house and agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Martin (Democrat)
of Indiana, chairman of the commit*
IM on Invalid pensions. It was agreed
that the limitation upon the lengtn of
tho Friday night aesalao (requiring
adjournment at MJ0 o'clock) be sus
tained for this date, and that it might
be continued aa long aa the bouse
should determine.
Mr. Bunn of North Carolina moved
that the house proceed In commlt-
'der hills on
seemingly directed to some provlalona
In the Indian appropriation bill, yet It
waa manifest that the real Intention
wae not to apeak to tho provisions of
that bill, but to bring ln entirely ex
traneous matters to the attenlon of
the house. For him he should be per
fectly content to leave the administra
tion of Indian affairs to tho secretary
•he Interior and th* commissioner
%i‘an affaire, aa well aa to the
Y- « of the committee on Indian
affh,. the house. He thought there
was no warrant and there certainly
waa no occasion for much that was
said ln reference to the particular mat
ter yesterday. For Instance, It was
sought to be brought to tho attention
of the house that Information hat been
asked front the commissioner of Indian
affairs upon tho subject of the 'Indian
schools, which waa obtained with very
great difficulty, whereas the facta were
that the very Information which Mf.
Linton laid before Ihe house was con
tained In the report of the commis
sioner of Indian affairs, dated hit
September, printed last December
and accessible to every member of the
house.
'Mr. Weadock said he had at hand
the report of the commissioner of In
dian aftatrs containing a report aa to
the very schools which Mr. Linton
undertook to talk about, and remem
bering uhat he said that those con
tract schools were not up to the stand
ard and were not effective he should
call attention to s few extracts from
that report rhotvlng that they were In
all respects equal, and ln some supe
rior, to public schools. Air. Weadock
said the retson why there were more
Catholic contract schools was that the
quently they had more than any other
denomination. Turning from these
documentary evidences In favor of the
system of contract schools. Mr. Wesd-
ock said the speech of Mr. Unton yet-
terday was that of a representative of
a secret organlaaUon. the A. P. A.,
and proceeded at length to show the
methods of this society. He bad read
numerous circulars Issued by the A.
P. A. In tbs course of the Met cam
paign and referred to the Inquiries
made of the Coin Armory Company
by a clergyman aa to the cost of se
curing a shipment of weapons. In
fairneae, Mr. Weadock raid that he
must sty that while the A. P. A. gen
erally acted with the Republicans. It
sought once and a while to ally Itself
with the Democrats. It waa not. he
eaid. a question of politics with him,
but of the Integrity of the Institutions
of the country and of tho preserva
tion of the rights of the people under
(hem. In conclusion. Mr. Weadock
said:
"This la not a question of Catholic or
Protestant. This Is not a question ot
party, whether Republican or Demo
crat. Thla la an organisation which,
under the absurd guise of patriotism,
relying for Its success upon Ignorance,
traud. rorgery and moral perjury,
seeks to set one dais of people in this
country against another, snd I have
spoken today for the purpose of put
ting those facts before the American
people, believing that If (here Is any-
(hlng wrong, anything Illegal, any
thing un-American. Obe host an.t
dulckeal way to show It up an.1 to
kill It la to lure upon It the l.rlghi
light Ot public diSCUSSlOn. I beheve
(hat thla country cannot b* m iin-
tatuhdln p",ics and prmperuy v h
any 'OTIS' class of people set against
another. We should all be united,
whether we belong to this or ti&il
church, or to no church. Whatever
our religion or our politics may be wc
should bo united for Ihe purpose Of
maintaining fhla government In all Its
Institutions and all Its Integrity. The
gent.eman, Mr. Linton, tslke about a
foreign flag. The gentleman might aa
well attack a circus procession for
having a flag of this or that country
over Its lent as lo find fault because
on some public oceaalon, as a matter
of courtesy, the flag of thla or that
country la displayed. If there la a
man hero who waa at ArUietaai or at
Fredericksburg I will leave tt lo him to
say whether he waa not glad lo ace
the green flag coming to the eld of
the beleagured Union forces. No mat
ter on what battlefield, no matter In
what arena, In public life, on the
bench or nt the bar, we are srllllng to
take our lot and part with you. Wo
are American clllsena. This la our
country. Wo helped to maintain It,
and, God srllllng, wo (ball always help
to malnoaln tt; and If every man In
this country. In this organisation or
any other organisation will go aa far
aa ho will In defense of Ha Institutions
you will never have any union of
church and state, and destruotlon will
never come upon thin, tho grosteit and
the freest and tho beat country on
earth. Now, let us unite to keep It ao,
and frown doom such organizations aa
Ibis that seeks to make It otherwise."
(Prolonged applause.)
Mr. Slcklce of New York—I am srlth
you on tho green flag. I saw It there.
The discussion then oam* down to
the prevision* if th* bill. Ponding an
unsuccessful atteinpt lo reach an
agreement reopodtlng the limit of de
bate upon certain matters In the bill,
the chairman having directed that the
reading of the bill by paragraphs for
amendments sod discussion under the
five minute rule be proceeded with,
the committee arose and at 4:55 too
s recess until I o'clock, the evening
aeeslon to be far the consideration of

vorable buelneea conditions of the past
three week* continue to exercise an In
fluence. The few execeptton* where

Induetrial trouble or by abrtnkage In
production. Mob violence, whh at-
tacks on Ilf* and property, have been
a feature of th* situation, necesritatlng

calities. Prcduotton of soft coal has
shown a slight Increase through the re
turn of aotux uluvrs .nd the failure cf
the ooel strike In Alabama and south-
em Tennessee.
