Mr. Manderson was immediately cognized and proceeded to argue ainst the point of order upon which _ much seemed hinged. He main tained with vigor that it was compe tent for the senate to instruct its con ferees, Mr. Manderson described at length the methods of conferences between the two houses of parliament and in iongress. drawing a distinction be tween a "simple” conference and 1‘full and free” conference. I In the house, he declared, it had |ever been disputed that the house kould instruct its conferees. Cer tainly it could not be contended that the senate had no power or control |ver its confereea How could any committee of the senate be superior tod above the senate which created There was more involved in this j|ian a single question. In it was in volved the rights of the sugar trust, tohich was so eloquently declaimed Igainst by Mr. Vilas. It was said inside Had outside this chamber that the trust as so powerful that it could defeat ay bill that did not give it what it anted. He apprehended that this as true, for no matter how close the mate came to striking at the differ itials, a vote was always forthcom g at the last moment to save it. he ruling on this point of orde'r ould determine whether the senate lould have the right to pass upon is odious differential, the striking it of which meant the defeat of the hole bill. Mr. Manderson then reviewed the ■ccedents bearing on the point of dcr, citing numerous cases in the ause where conferrees had been in ructed. Senator Harris in the chair sus ined the point of order against I’ashburn’s motion. An appeal was ken. The vote to lay the appeal on e table was a tie—33 to 33—and was >st.

Washington, July 28.—The gold re lerve has received another severe alow by the engagement at New fork of 82,000,000 for export to-mor row. This leaves the true amount of the reserve $58,345,725, or $3,054,570 Lower than the lowest point reached previous to the February bond issue. Against this reserVe there ivere outstanding on July 1, 1340,081,016 in United States notes and $152,581,481 in treasury notes of 1890, making an aggregate of nearly $500,000,000 in paper currency, redeemable in gold. The exporta tions of gold since the February bond issue aggregate about $78,350,000, while the importations amount to ibout $11,850,000, making the net loss of gold during the last six months ibout $07,000,000. A Kansan Imprisoned for Dobs. Topeka, Kan., July 28.—S. J. Bryan of Harvey county claims to be re strained of his liberty by a decree of the district court of that county for failure to pay a debt, and he has ap plied to the supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus. The allegations against Bryan in the lower court were that he threshed wheat belong ing to himself and partner, selling his own half and spiriting away the re mainder. It is a novel question, as imprisonment for debt is something unusual in Kansas litigation. KANSAS CAMPAIGN OPEN. " Otnotmli ud PapalUta DImdu Imsm of the Dap. Lbavktworth, Kan., July, 28.— Democrats of Kansas opened their state campaign here last night. The in itial meeting was called to order by J. R. Garrett, chairman of the county central committee, introducing ns the chairman of the evening Martin < Smith. The latter introduced Hon. David Overmver. Mr. Overmyer in opening, said he thought the time in which we live aro too serious in order to be entertaining, or amusing, lie was here as a citizen of Kansas to meet his fellow citizens, who are moved by fear, hope and expectation, that move him. He was here as a representative of the great political party of the country, that come into being with the constitu tion, which has stood ever since and will never fall until the constitution falls. Its longevity, he said, is due to the fact that it stands by the constitu-, tion. He then briefly referred to! present condition of affairs in the nation, placing the responsibility upon the Republican party. ' He touched upon the money ques-: tion, and the state control of enter prises. He wanted to know how many members are sent to the legis lature who know anvthing.about laws □ nil orUMAfv. r Q ,1-n li 1,, (» hn ..Id kn lieved in people buying? the railroads, but didn't say how they should get them. Mr. Overmyer thought if ho and his state officers would return their passes and pay as he (Overmyer) does there would be more equity, and the railroads would . have a better chance to live. Coming down to the issue in the state, he said that the Democratic party of Kansas demands a repeal of the prohibitory amendment and all the infamous laws on the statute books passed in pursuance thereof. Mr. Overmyer said Kansas first suf fered from ar invasion of missionary talent, and '.he people were induced to vote for the amendment which was adopted by a curious provision in the constitution. No sooner had this been inserted in' the constitution than a series of laws followed and more tyrannical than the other. These laws deprived the people of self-gov ernment. He referred to the Jury 'commissioner law, the right of county attorneys to summon the citizen to his office and examine him; upon fail ure to answer to be held in contempt of the police commissioner law. His reference to this law brought down the house. He said if the law was such that it could not be undone, the sights already seen would be nothing to what they would see. Experience was proven that the executive consults his own desires and constructs the boards so that they would be a supple instru ment in his hands.. Better sink con stitutional prohibition ten thousand times than yield the sacred right of local self-government. The speaker thought Kansas was the best adver tised state in the union before prohi bition came; the evil fame of Kansas in that respect spread throughout the world. On the subject of woman suffrage, Mr. Overmyer said both Republican and Populist parties have declared for woman suffrage, but the Domocrats say no, this is wrong, unnatural and abomination. Right-minded women don’t want it. The adventuress, bold and brazen women who want it to dis play themselves. There are no neces sary relations between the ballot box and the right of power to be taxed. If women demand the ballot it implies we have been unjust to women, and ask if the citizen was prepared to vote himself a monumental scoundrel, because that is what he would be if he has been unjust to woman. He de clared that the present electorate would be unequal suffrage. Hon. Joseph G. Lowe followed Mr. Overmyer’s speech with a closing ad dress COXEY CRUSADE ENDS. Those at Washington Begging for As sistance to Get Back Home. Washington; July 28.—Large and indignant delegations from the in dustrial armies encamped about Wash ington applied at the room of the bouse committee on labor yesterday, not to urge their bills, but to plead for assistance. The expected has happened; their leaders had deserted them and they sought congressional aid to return to the localities whence they had come. Coxey's men said their leader had left them in . the lurch yesterday. Kel ley’s men averred their leader had drifted away several days ago and that they did not expect to see him again, while Frye’s men said their leader had probably abandoned them. The men who were brought from the Pacific coast by Kelley were particu larly indignant and expressed a fervid desire to tar and feather their gen eral. Mr. McGann told them thal there was not the slightest chance of a government appropriation for their return and sent them to the local suDerintendent of charities. Bcport of Amirleu Shipbuilding.

A Review of tha Prealdant'a Poaltlon— Tha Declaration that Cleveland Bad Alwajra Inflated Upon Principles—‘The Japancaa Mlnlater'a Bacall Mot Doe to tha Corean Difficulty—Hla Succaaaor Already Appointed. Vilas Answer* Gorman. WASHnroTosr, July 87.—Mr. Jones nailed up the conference report on the tariff bill in the senate this after noon. , Mr. Vilas was immediately recog nized but yielded to Mr. Quay, who withdrew the sugar amendments he offered just before the adjournment yesterday. The Wisconsin senator began his speech by saying that an extraordi nary scene had occurred in the senate last Monday. A Democratic senator, said he, saw fit to attack the presi dent, without precedent, or if there was a precedent, it was one that ought to be shunned instead of followed. It was a personal assault upon the president and his character. He had hoped, he said, that the remarks of Mr. Gorman and those, who .joined with him on that occasion would hare appeared in the Record before ho (Mr. Vilas) re plied. But, he went on sarcastically, he presumed the engagements of the Maryland senator were so pressing that he had had no time to revise them. Mr. Vilas considered it his duty to reply to that assault. He would speak as to the personal as well as to the political friend of the president. He rejoiced in the honor of Mr. Cleveland's friendship. It was a pride to him. Of the rewards, few and stinted, that come to public men, one of the greatest that had come to him was the intimate association with that lofty and distinguished man. It was his honest testimony to his own character that never at any moment in any temptation, personal or po litical, had he failed to see in Mr. Cleveland the pure white light of an upright purpose. For such a man he saw fit to say some words— not in defense—he needed none—but some correction of a discoloration of facts by.which Mr. Cleveland had been placed in a false light before the country. He would make this state ment in behalf of tho truth of history, and he regretted that Mr. Gorman was absent and could not hear it. “What were the points of accusation?” inquired Mr. Vilas, “in the remarkable assault to which I have alluded?” The first accusation, he proceeded, was that the president was open to the charge of duplicity. That was based upon a letter in which Mr. Cleveland expressed a hope that iron and coal should goon the freelist in the tariff bill. The second was that the executive had by that en croached on the prerogatives of congress, and third that the pres ident had traduced the senate. Those charges were true or false, not as a matter of argument, but as a matter of fact. “With regard to coal and iron ore let us examine the facts,” said Mr. Vilas, “and I desire to say here that I am under deep obligation to the senator from New York who nev. r in his public career made such an able exposition of any subject as he did on Tuesday last.” □ Mr. Vilas then reviewed at length the president's position in favor of free raw materials, his letter of 1837 and other matters up to his letter to congress of the present session. In this respect only, Mr. Vilas declared, Mr. Cleveland had insisted upon principle. This was everywhere de clared by his supporters to be the first step in the enfranchisement of labor from the thrall dom of unjust taxation. Is it any wonder, he asked, that any one supposed he had abandoned the principle that lay at the base of his scheme for tariff reform. Where was the trutli adduced in support of this alleged change of heart? Mr. Gorman him self has no personal testimony to of fer. He had called on Mr. Vest, who offered conversation — hearsay evi dence—only, that would have been excluded in any court of justice. He had no personal testimony. The distinguished senator from Arkansas, whose labor in behalf of this bill had earned so much respect from his colleagues, testified that he had personally talked with the presi dent about the senate bill. Did Mr. Jones claim that all the details of the bill had been laid before Mr. Cleve land? Necessarily not. Only the great principles on which the amend ments were made. With regard to the two amend ments upon which the specifications of Mr. Gorman's charges had teen founded the testimony of Mr. Jones was clear that the president, when ever coal and iron ore were men tioned, expressed the hope that they would go on the free list. Was there any desirous of doing open and free justice to the president who, after reading Mr. Jones' own statement, would not say that Mr. Cleveland had never faltered in his urgent de mand for free coal and iron ore? The president knew too, each house would have a voice and therefore not with duplicity but with openness and bold ness that always characterized him, Mr. Cleveland had expressed to the chairman of the ways and means com mittee the hope that the result he de sired should be accomplished in con ference.

Meeker, CoL, July 27. — Masked men tied and blindfolded General S. Alesbrook and a deputy sheriff, whom Mr. Alsebrook had placed in charge of his sheep, and stabbed and clubbed to death about 250 head of sheep, after which they rode over to Smith & Trimmer’s' camp and shot 101 fine blooded rams. The mob gave Alse brook five days in which to leave the country, informing kiss that they had a secret organisation of MO members a Garfield, Routt and Rio Blancho counties, who were sworn to rid the eusialty «f such people. r. BACK TO CONFERENCE. * ~ Th* Ituu Arcade* to the Boom Reqml. Washington, July 187.—The aennte will occetle to the request of the house for Another conference oh the tariff hill, and Its eonferrees will return to the meeting with those of the house untrameled by nny apeclfio instruc tions whatever. This was the conclu sion of the Democratic senatorial caucus, which adjourned sine die a few minutes after S o'clock yester day, after a two days' sitting. Whllo the cauous did not coin nut Itself to any definite line of policy in 'so many words, the confer reos feel with their Domocratlo colleagues that they understand what a majority of them desire and they believe this to be that they shall stand substantially for the sen ate bill. This is not the individual preference of many of the Democratic senators, but it represents the opinion of most of them, as expressed in the caucus, as to the only practical course open to the Democrats who think that the present congress must pass a tariff bill of some kind, whether it be what they prefer or not In other words the result of tho caucus is the renscertainlmr of what was known when the three days’ cau cus closed last March, that it is im practicable to pass any tariff bill through the senate which does not meet the demands of the so-oalled conservative senators and the Louisia na senators. During the proceedings the attitude of the Populist senators, Allen and Kyle, who have generally voted with the Democrats on the tariff bill, was alluded to, and one of the senators present stated that he had been au thorized by Senator Allen to say that he thought the bounty on sugar should be continued for the presont. The suggestion was not received with favor. Senators Hill, Murphy and Irby were again absent from the caucus. There have been few secret confer ences from which so many conflicting reports emanated, and it was appar ent that each senator took away an understanding to suit himself as to what implied instructions the eonfer rees were under. Some felt that the senate bill had been adhered to, and others that the main point of differ ence, the one-eighth of a cent per pound on refined sugar, was to be eliminated and perhaps a new sugar schedule presented JAPANESE MINISTER RECALLED. Said to Have no Significance In a Politi cal Way—ills Successor. Washington, July 27.—M. Tateno, the Japanese minister to the United States, has been recalled. Tho recall, it Is stated, is due not to anything connected with the present Japanese Corean-Chinese difficulty nor owing to matters prowing out of recent treaty negotiations as reported. While there have been negotiations between the governments of Japan and the United States since 1883 look ing to a revision of the treaties, it happens that little has been done in this respect recently and that the notes that have passed contained no matter that was objectionable to our government or that in the slightest degree could subject M. Tateno to censure by his own government. Furthermore, it can be positively stated on the highest authority that the change in the legation here is in no way connected with the communi cations addressed to the Japanese government by the department of state representing the Corean im broglio. Proof positive to this effect is af forded by the two facts; first, that's successor to M. Tateno has been ap pointed, which would not have been the case had the Japanese government been disposed to resent Secretary Gresham’s representations, and sec ond, while M. Tateno received his for mal recall within forty-eight hours, he was notified about three months ago, and before the Corean difficulty arose, that his term had expired and that lie would soon receive notice of his recall. DM. Tateno’s history is interesting. He comes from one of the best fami lies in Japan—one of the “two sword ed” class. He was originally and for many years an officer of the imperial household, and when General Grant visited Japan he was specially desig nated by the emperor to escort the general in his tour through the empire. A strong attachment sprung up between the two men, many valuable presents were ex changed and a friendly corre spondence ".vas kept up between them until the death of General Grant. M. Tateno afterwards became the governor of the province of Osaka, lie held the position ten years and then became a member of the Jap anese senate, which place he relin quished to accept the appointment in January, 1S91, of Japanese minister to Washington. Mr. Kentaro Kaneko, who will suc ceed Mr. Tateno, is a man of erudi tion and of distinction in his own country. He was educated in the United States and is a graduate of Harvard and of Cambridge law school, ne is about 43 years of age and has acquired fame as a parliamen tarian Iowa Republicans Select Candidates.

The Adnms Express company’s stable, ad joining the Knox building to the north, was almost entirely consumed. About 150 horses were in the Adams Express company's stables, but all were taken out by the hardest kind of work on the part of citizens and policemen. In the building adjoining the heat was so intense that firemen were obliged to throw water on each other repeatedly in order that they might continue at their posts. The mem bers of hose company No. 1 and sev eral men of other companies wero caught inside of this building. A por tion of the wall of the Knox fell, blocking the exit.

Mr. Caffery then commended Sena- Y tor Hill for his defense of the presi dent, declared there was nothing In the letter which need arouse the ire of the senators who felt themselves aggrieved and the Louisianian de clared it did not call for the denun ciations of the senator from Mary land. He then read an extract from that letter and commented upon it in favorable terms lie deelared the president was exonerated from the charges made against him by Mr. - 0 orman. The very evidenoe adduced by Mr. Qorman, he said, justified the president in writing the letter ho had. Aiicro was uunuiuteiy UO TTUMl la IUO allegation that Mr. Cleveland had vlo* lnted tne functions of his office in Riving1 his views to the chairman of the ways and means committee. If the members of the finance commit* tee had denounced the bill as they did in saying certain features of the bill involved party surrender, how was it wrong for the president to > charge '“perfidy and dishonor?” Since the secrets of the past were to be divulged, he would not longer keep in the dark the sccrots of nls own prison house. The Louisiana senators had been made the target for the slings and arrows of the tariff re* formers. The time had come for him to tell his story. lie was at a little conference at which were present, among others, Messrs Brice ant} Gor man. It was decided at that confer ence that 40 per cent on raw and 50 per cent on refined sugar was proper. "I took that schedule to the finance ' committee and gave it to Senator Jones," he continued. “Mr. Jones, after calculating, pointed out that in the differential allowed the refiner was concedod a differential greater than the McKinley law. I thereupon withdrew it After further consulta tion I presented another schedule, ' placing 1 cent on raw and on re fined. So it remained for some time, when I was admonished by Mr. Gor man . and Mr. Brice that this second meant free sugar. Mr. Jones told me the sugar refining interests would favor free sugar if that schedule was in sisted upon. He wanted me to accept 40 per cent on raw and refined and one-eighth differential on refined. That schedule was not acceptable to >' me or the sugar growers aud I want tho country to know it was dictated by the refining interests. At last we ac cepted it with tho understanding the bounty provision for 1804 should stand. I call on Senators Vest and Jones to say whether I have said the i truth,” but neither of the senators replied. He then continued to describe subtile methods employed to eini—i; * late the sugar schedule and doftot the bill. The ways of the senator from New York (Hill) were past ingout. Upon the motion to the schedule go into effect on passage of the bill some of the crats jumped the track and vii their agreement That was the time faith was broken with Louisiana senators.
