WOLCOTT TALKS ON FREE COINAGE I'ropinltlDii to Open the Sllntu for the foliiagn of .Moilrim Dollar * < ! hei Jllm an Opportunity tn Criticize the I'rcnlilent. WASHINGTON , April 9. The proceedings In the senate today from the opening to the closing of the session were full of In terest. The first point of time was the swearing In of Mr. Walsh as the senator from Georgia , to serve out the term of the late Senator Colqultt. Two resolutions in tended to facilitate the debate on the tariff bill were Introduced , one by Senator Mills providing for an amendment to the rides , so as to permit of the previous question , nnd the other by Senator Allen providing for the taking ot the final vole on the bill on Juno 7 , allowing three days for debate under the five minute rule , lloth went over without action. Tlio Wolcott resolution looking to tno com- ngo of Mexican dollars for the China trade was discussed , but action on It was deferred until tomorrow. It provides for the negotia tion of n treaty with Mexico allowing the coinage of Mexican dollars at United States mints for export to China. Mr. Wolcott addressed the senate In support of the reso lution , which he" affirmed did not touch or affect the general question of bimetallism ; that It was simply a suggestion lo a friendly sister republic that our Idle mints in the west should bo put In operation in the. coinage of coin which had been put In cir culation In the Orient. Such a proposal , ho said , could not have been made If sil ver had had more favorable legislation , but the veto of the seigniorage hill left us free to act on the resolution. While the selgul- orago bill was utterly unimportant , tlio lesson of Its veto was Invaluable. It was unimportant because It provided simply for the coinage of our Idle silver without making any provision for future pro duction of silver. During the dis cussion of the repeal bill last summer men had arisen In both houses of congress nnd avowed thu undying friendship of the president for silver and asserting that IIR soon as the Imfamous Sherman law was pushed nsldc the first opportunity which prc- eented Itself would bo seized for the Intro duction of n bill In favor of silver for which the president would stand sponsor. If ono thing was made clear by the veto , asserted Mr. Wolcott , It was tliaf the president waa the active , consistent and Implacable 'onqmy of silver. He. had been consistent throughout - out -ami iioua * litlft t > * t * * .i-.i.in. i * . Uitng else than an enemy of silver , and ho had the friendship ot the moneyed men In whoso nostrils the word "silver" had boon a stench. In some sections of the country the Idea necmcd to prevail that the president was Infinitely better than his party , and the pcoplo In those sections seemed about to Eharo the president's contempt for the demo cratic party by universally voting the re publican ticket. ( Laughter. ) FREE C01NAOE FOREVER. For his part , ho declared , he should op pose anything less than the free and un limited coinage of silver at the ratio of 15 1C to 1. " " % or During this "unfortunate" administration , ho said he did not Intend to favor any half-hearted measure which did not look to the rclnstallment of silver. If It was not necessary to Issue bonds , let the men of the country meet the question llho men. He for ono did not need a sop In the tdmpo of a little silver bill thrown to him to Induce him to give the secretary of the treasury authority to Issue bonds fern n definite purpose. The resolution was intro duced and supported because it had no connection with bimetallism. Senator Sherman said ho saw no objection to the resolution and that If arrangements could bo made to carry It out. $100,000,000 of sliver might bo usefully employed. Senator McPherson of New Jersey opposed It , and at his request It went over until tomorrow. , A llttlo stir was created by an effort on the part of Senator Harris to obtain an earlier hour of meeting and some definite understanding as to the discussion In the tariff debate , but before ho had concluded Ids remarks Senator Quay objected , which brought a caustic remark from Mr. Harris. The hitter then went on to offer his proposi tion , viz : That the senate meet at 11 o'clock each day and after devoting ono hour to morning business , at 12 o'clock the tariff bill should bu taken up and gen eral debate should continue each day from 12 to C. It was clearly evident that the re publicans would strenuously object , and Sen ator Fryo Is supposed to voice the senti ments of that sldu of the chamber when IIH said : "For myself , 1 can state what will bo agreeable to me , and that is the further consideration of this bill shall be postponed until next December. ( Applause. ) And bcllovlng ns 1 do , that Its enactment Into law would do more harm to the coun try than the war did , I will object to any proposition to hurry Its consideration. In the senate. " Senators Quay and Aldrlch spoke In the puma vein , and finally Senator Harris' made a formal motion that on and after tomorrow , until otherwise ordered , the senate meet at 11 o'clock. Senator Lodge * objected lo , the present consideration of the motion , and under the rules It went over until tomorrow. The Peffer resolution directing the com mittee on iliianco to prepare a hill repeal ing nil laws which authorize the secretary of the treasury to Issue bonds was laid before the senate. Senator 1'offer spoke lirli'lly In support of the resolution , when Senator Morrll moved to refer It to Iho committee on finance , Senator I'effer de manded the yeas mid nays , and the mo tion was carried by a vote of 3G to 13. Senator Hill then addressed the t-cnatc. When the tariff ileUato was reiumed Sen- ntor David 11. Ulll of Now York si-cureil the Hoar , Senator Hill's speech was chletly devoted to uti extensive and bitter attack oil the In come tux feature of the Wilson hill , Ills opening remarks , however , took a wider range. "Tha. * political revolution , " ho began , "which commenced , ln 1S90 and culminated In 1892 was on emphatic expression of the popular will } n behalf of certain govern mental policies. Measures and not men wro largely the Issues , Involved In that movement. " He took up the foreign policy ot the nd- rilnlutratlon , saying : "it Is not denied sonic inlstnXfs have occurred , Our fern-Inn tMllcy , especially that relating to Hawaii , It- must lie admitted , hits not met the expectations of the people. A fienne of humiliation pro- * v.illed when tlio project for the restoration of a deposed monarch was unfolded by the ndmliilKtruUon nnd gratification cn.Mieil wbch IU abandonment or failure wni reluctantly unuoimced. Influenced largely by un aroused public sentiment. That unfortunate contem plated pulley was a blunder , and a blunder , la somtllmtii worse tUti a crime , U wt however , the natural consequence whlcl might well hnve been anticipated from that other mistake In placing the Department of Htato In charge of a republican statesman distinguished and estimable though he may bo , whoie public cervices have always been Identified In opposition to the democratic party , who was without sympathy for Us traditions and purposes , and whose political convictions upon the disputed public ques tions of the day , If changed nt all , uro cnro- fully concealed. It Is to l > o regretted that the president ohould not hnvo been able to Mud In his own party some cafe rind honored statesman In whom he and his party could have placed confidence , onn of democratic instincts and training , whoso management of foreign affairs would have reflected credit upon the country and would have avoided the promulgation of tlio unamcrlcau policy a departure from democratic precedents , WHICH was pougni to no rorccu upon an un willing people. In this view of the situation our opponents must accept some shnro of the responsibility for tl.c blunders committed In our foreign affairs. v "In other respects the present adminis tration of our government affords scant grounds for criticism. " Coming to the main question , tariff re form , ho said that revision should bo ap preached with circumspection and with a icallxlng sense of the changed condition of the country since 1890. "An extreme re duction ot tariff duties at n time when the treasury was swollen with a surplus of $100,000.000 , when the country was reason ably prosperous , when nil our Industries were In operation and when all our work- Ingincu were employed , assumed a different aspect and presented a different question when proposed now with a largo and grow ing treasury deficit Instead of a surplus staring us In the face , with our Industries paralyzed , our manufactories closed , our worklngmen Idle and following upon the hot-Is of one ot the most disastrous financial panics In our history. What was safe and prudent and wise then , It would be criminal folly to attempt now. The present waa no time for partisanship , and democrats and republican * nllko should try to solve existing problems In a spirit of broad pa triotism. " INCOME TAXES EXPOSED. The rest of his speech was given up to the Income tax , and his opening words de fined his position In unequivocal and force ful language. "Against such a scheme , " ho said , "unnccessurv. Ill-linipcl : unl mis. chiovous , suddenly sprung upon the coun try In Hie hour of Us distress , undemo cratic in Its nature and socialistic In Its tendencies , I enter the serious protest of the people of Hie state of New York. They utterly dissent from any proposal to get revenue for the general government by tax- lug Incomes. Their dissent Is practically unanimous and altogether Implacable. " He Intimated that tlie tariff bill was con structed on lines laid' down by the admin istration , and said : "In these latter days the distinctions between the functions and prerogatives ot the executive- department on one hand and the legislative department on the other do not seem to bo always ob served. "Tho public should not be misled Into the belief that only those whoso Incomes ex ceed $1,000 are affected by this bill ; that Is a mistaken Idea. In the llnst place all those having Incomes less than $1,000 , but more than $3,500 , are put to the annoyance of making sworn returns and they neglect It at. their peril. In the second place , It may be reasonably apprehended that some portion of the tax paid will reimburse Itself by an Increase of rents , where the Income was derived from that source. Poor ten ants may be affected In some degree , ns well as rich landlords. The bill seriously affects the rights and interests of building and loan associations throughout the coun try Incorporated under slate laws. The senate amendments do" not cure the defects complained of. " Inquiring us toIho source of the demand he said that n'qthlng1 war heard in ltd behalf , on .the upart-'of.t the - two' reatpSlltlcal parties in" the campaign of 1M2. ' .Its' ap- ' unfornTeil"p"P"il ! = t parly , and ho protested against the democratic party being made a tall to the populist kite. The substitution of Internal or direct taxes for customs house taxation mean the reduction of the waaes of the American workmen to the European standards ; It meant the degrada tion of labor ; It meant the deprivation of our workmen of the comforts and luxuries of life , lo which they had been accustomed. In outlining his position , he said that one dollar of turllf taxation should bo Imposed where It was necessary for the needs of the government economically administered , but whatever those needs were the neces sary revenues therefor should be supplied from tariff taxation and that alone , save and except , the taxes upon liquors , oleo margarine nnd tobacco , to which the coun try has long been accustomed hud which , for obvious reasons , need not bo disturbed. "For my own part , as a democrat , " ho said , "I prefer Indirect taxation and tariff reform above direct taxes and tariff ex tinction. 1 prefer taxing foreign products rather than taxing home products. I follow Jefferson In regarding even the species of Indirect taxation on homo products by In ternal war taxes as not goud enough to he extended and the first to be got rid of when their need Is past , "If McKinleylsm Is socialism for the benefit of the rich and Income tax Is so cialism for the benefit of the poor , no true American democrat will look to the hair of the dog to cure his blto. American dem ocrats will reject socialism of both kinds. The McKlnluy bill lost the country to our opponents by Its extreme features In ono direction , and we thould avoid the opposite extreme. " IN HEPLY TO VOOIUIEES. Ho quoted from the speech of Senator Voorhees that the passage of the bill would produce a surplus nnd said that according to this statement the bill has "jumped out of the frying pan Into the lire. " From a deficiency there has arisen an Immoderate surplus. One extreme has been succeeded by another. The committee made many changes , taking sugar , Iron , coal , lead and other articles from the free list and making them dutiable and providing for a tax upon sugar estimated by olllelal experts to rcallxo Ml.S22i3.ti. ; ; and an additional tax on H > lrlts from which $10.000,000 Is anticipated. Yet , notwithstanding these large additions of rev enue sources to the bill , the committee still retained the Income tux. In conclusion ho defined his position in these earnest words : "I stand ready to sup port any reasonable measure for tariff reform framed within the lines and based upon the principles which I hnve here partially Indi cated and which were fully set forth In my bpeech In opening the political campaign In Ilrooklyu on September 19 , 1S92. I will cheerfully vote for the Mills bill and join you In making many morn reductions therein. I am ready to waive all minor differences ot detail which do not Involve a question of principle. "Mr. President , this Is an Important crisis In the history of the democratic party. Fail ure of tariff revision means defeat of the democratic position , If not division and anni hilation of our party. Moreover , It means Injury to the boat Interests of the country. Let those who Insist upon Injecting Into thh bill this odious and undemocratic feature of an Income tax pause and reflect upon the Dosslblo consequences ot their demands. They should realize that it means the loss ot the control ot the senate , now nearly rqunlly divided between the two great partle ? ; It means the loss of the next house of repre sentatives ; It menus the loss of the electoral votes of Now York , Now Jarf > ey , Connecti cut , and probably every northern state and , finally , It means the loss of thn next presi dency and all It Implies. "They should consider whether there Is anything about on lucomo tax so sacred , so desirable , so popular , PO Just and so defensive that ll-i malntcnftiico Is worth thn risk which they are precipitating.

Chairman lioatner opened the session by giving a simple outline of what the com mittee hud been Instructed to do. Its author ity , etc. He said the committee wished es pecially to ascertain how far and In what respects the order had oppressed the em ployes , and Just how the men construed the order. Grand Chief Clark was sworn. He said representative of all the conductors on a particular line shall look Into a grievance and report to him. He also looks Into It , and If ho thinks the facts warrant what action the committee may decide to take , he gives his sanction. Without this ( .auction a strike would be illegal. Tim committee went to St. I'atil December 14 and arranged for a meeting the 19th. On that date the committee was Informed by General Man ager Kondrlck that things were not then In shape for a conference , but would be the 21st. "December 19 Is the date upon which the Injunction was granted , is it not ? " sold Mr. lioatner. "Ves , the first Injunction.

In answer to Representative Boatncr , Mr. Clark said ho did not think the Injunction lad done any harm so far as the Northern , 'aclflc employes were concerned , but that t had been harmful In a general way to worklngmen , as ho believed It was an abridgement of their constitutional rights and established a precedent which would bo followed by all courts if the committee had lot been called on to Investigate. Mr. Sargent's testimony was practically the same. Messrs. Ramsay and Arthur will be on the stand tomorrow. TO uirnti : rr.nioitAi , , Hi ! > < ; is. ; Senator Martin Has u I'laii to < ! ot Jtld of tlui Aged mill Infirm. WASHINGTON , April O.-Scnntor Martin of Kansas lias two bills before the senate committee on Judiciary which he Is very anxious to have considered. They provide for the retirement on full pay of United States Judges , one of them after twenty years of continuous service and the other on account of physical or mental disability , rendering u judge incapable of strvlce. Discussing the Importance of the bills , Sen ator Martin said today : "The present law does not provide for the retirement of a federal judge until ho Is 70 years of age and has served for twenty years conthi- uously. There IK no means provided for retirement under other conditions and the situation often becomes embarrassing. No matter what a judge's condition , physically or mentally , may be , there Is no means provided for getting rid of him In that capacity , except by Impeachment for crime or voluntary retirement. Very few men advanced In yi-arH , as federal Judges usu ally are , are willing to voluntarily relin quish u lucrative position ns long as they can hold on , and -disability Is no crime upon which to base Impeachment proceed ings. Hence tht ; necessity for a elmnge of the law In the line of my bills. The need for such amendment was shown In the cases of Judge Hunt of New York nnd Judge Daily of Oregon , and Is again Illus trated In the case of Judge Foster of Kan sas , who has been physically disabled , by III health , for service for more than three years. A Judge who has served in that capacity for twenty years continuously , or Who has broken In ( the work , ought to be retired whet her 70 years of ago or not , and It will often be In the Interest of the public welfare to ludueu them to'do so. Not many of them will retire voluntarily and the only remedy for the situation Is to provide an Inducement for them to do so. " Hoyiil Sllvor Wmfillng. WASHINGTON , April 9.

A notable feature of the entertainment was the rendition of music composed lBtW years ami nnd dances adapted to It at that time by 1'rlncc Utsuml , The guests received as souvenirs silver stntupM of storkH , nnd In strong contraut with the olden customs , the emperor threw aside all icserve and conversed cordially with Individual members of the diplomatic body.

Sir George linden-Powell naked whether Canada had agreed to 'the full text of the Herlng sea bill , and If not , what points. In the opinion of the Movcrnment of Canada , needed reconsideration. Sir George also asked whether the government could lire- sent the house with the text of the Amer ican bill , as passed at Washington. Sydney liuxton , parliamentary secretary of the colonial oltlce , In reply said that a communication from Canada on the sub- innt liml tint linen rnef'lved. Ht. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain asked whether It was true , that serious difficulties had arisen between tin ; United States and Great Hrltaln In regard to the bill and was assured by Sir Charles Itussell that no such difficulties existed. Sir William Vernon Harcourt moved that the government take the time of the bouse on Tuesdays and Fridays , the state of pub lic business requiring that such a demand be made. Ht. Hon. A. J. Ilnlfour opposed the mo tion , contending that the government was frittering away the time of the house In Its foolish proposal In regard to the appoint ment of the Scotch land otllcers. Mr. Hal- four banterlngly remarked -that the govern ment would suiter' shipwreck upon this occasion , and concluded with the state ment that he could not support the motion , as the government hatt * not given sufllclent reasons for It.

Williams of the Union Pacific presented a petition before Chief Justice Mcrrltt today reciting that the men composing the Indus trial army were destitute nnd seeking trans portation to the Missouri river ; that peti tioners were unwarranted In giving them free transportation ; that these men are liable to become desperate and seize the railway property , which Is liable to result In destruc tion of property and possibly bloodshed.

This evening Judges Miner and Merrill slpncd a mandatory re straining order on the Southern Pacific Hall- road company restraining it from keeping here or allowing to remain the Industrial army brought by said railroad company "un lawfully Into said territory , " nnd ordering them nil back Into the twenty-seven box cars , or from keeping any portion of the army In the cars any longer In the territory than is absolutely necestnry to carry them away. This means that the Southern Pacific must at once carry the army back from whence It came.

Judge Marshall , attorney for the Southern Pacific railroad , gave notice of an appeal to the supreme court from the order of the court. He asked for a stay of execution until the appeal could be heard. The request was denied by the court. At this hour 11 p. in. Marshal Hrlgham Is swearing in sixty deputies.

When the fire was seemingly under control the theater roof , on which n score or more ot the bravo firemen stood uj they fought the flumes , went down , and thl' brave men were carried with It to tliu floor of the auditorium below.

Seven or eight men were soon brought out , mid those who arc able to npeak saltl there must be ten more In the ruins , where living death awaited them.
