WAS AGAINST MORE TARIFF WORK. Twenty-Seven Go on Record ae In Favor of ( enil iir From Labor to Hiiteen AgnlnU -White on the Finance Committee—Sherman Indulge* In Some Plain Talk—Ite vlewe the Tariff Work. Washington, Aug. 20.— By the vote of 27 to )6, without a word of debate, the senate to-day adopted the Murphy resolution declaring that it was the sense of the senate that no further tariff legislation should be considered at this session and that it was advisa ble to adjourn at the earliest possible moment. The vote in detail was as follows: Yeas—Aldrich, Allen, Blanchard, Caffery, Carey, Chandler, Cullom, Davis, Dolplj, Gallinger, Gibson, Gor man, Jones of Nevada, Kyle, Munder son, Mitchell of Oregon, Murphy, Patton, Peffer, Pettigrew, I’latt,Pugh, < Quay, ltoach, Shoup, Smith, Stewart. Total 37. Nays—Hate, Berry, Blackburn,Cock rell, Coke, Faulkner, George, Harris, Hunton, Jarvis, Lindsay, Ransom, Turple, Vest, Vilas and White. To tal 1>1. This vote bears out the general ex pression of the belief that despite Senator Harris’ emphatic declarations, made with much reddening of the face and bristling of gray mustache, that he would never consent to ad journment until the senate should act on the free raw materials bills of the house, no one now here believes that a single one of these measures will be passed. The vote on the Murphy resolution was the more significant because when Mr. Harris’ resolution for the appointment of Mr. White of Cali fornia to the vacancy on the finance committee was laid before the senate Mr. Mandcrson of Nebraska said that there would be no objection to the resolution to-day and explained that the opposition yesterday contained no reflection on the senator from Califor nia, and Mr. Hill concurred with Mr. Manderson and expressed the hops that the resolution would be passed and it was then adopted without divis ion, and because it followed a warm fight over the resolution of Mr. Gray of Delaware, instructing the finance committee to report back the free sugar bill with an amendment to strike out the one-eighth differential on refined sugar and Mr. Manderson’s amendment, instructing the com mittee to report an amendment providing for the sugar bounty of the existing law. On the latter some debate occurred on the parlia mentary situation at the end of which Vice President Stevenson held that the vote should be first taken on Mr. Manderson’s amendment to instruct the committee to report back an amendment to the free sugar bill pro viding for the McKinley bounty on raw domestic sugars. Great interest was manifested in the result of the roll call. The two Louisiana senators and the three Populists voted in favor of the Manderson amendment. The Manderson amendment providing for the McKinley bounty in the free sugar bill was carried, 31 to 20, but the point of no quorum was then raised and the roll again called. The call developed the presence of fifty-four senators, eleven more than a quorum, and at the request of Mr. Gorman the reso lution was temporarily laid aside, Mr. Aldrich stating that he thought a vot ing quorum would appear in two hours. During the confusion which fol lowed the announcement of the vote on Mr. Murphy’s resolution Mr. Lind say offered a resolution expressing it to be the sense of the senate that con gress should not adjourn until a bill should have been passed relieving and discontinuing any duty on refined su gar which would operate for the ben efit of the sugar trust. Mr. Mander son moved to amend the resolution so as to instruct the finance committee to report back the amount of profit to be derived by the whisky trust from the tariff bill now in the hands of the president. Mr. bherman then took the floor to indulge, as he said, in some "plain talk.” He reviewed the blunders made by the Democrats in the general con duct of the long tariff fight The re sult of these, he said, was that from fifty to 100 very important errors would be found in the bill as it would be signed by the President. Already several of great importance had been discovered. One of them, that providing for the free entry of alcohol used in the arts, would, if un corrccted, cost the government $20, 000,000 or $30,000,000 of revenue an nually. Mi. lioar, the author of the amendment, had not expected that it would be accepted. He had simply offered it as a tentative proposition. He quoted from the record in support of this statement. Mr. Sherman deprecated the inter ference of the president with con gress but he justified Mr. Carlisle’s letter as to the effect of the tariff bill on the revenues. He stated that he would, if opportunity offered, vote for a straight duty on raw and refined sugar without tiie differential. As far as the other free list bills were concerned, he was opposed to placing iron ore, coal and barbed wire on the free list. Mr. Gray followed Mr. Sherman and thought that no matter what the re sult of the coming election might be there would not be another McKinley law. The people were tired of the scenes of the past winter which re sulted from the McKinley law. The resolution went over. Mr. Harris then called up the house bill to repeal the tax on alcohol used in the arts. He asked unanimous con sent to consider it, but Mr. Chandler objected and moved to refer it to the finance committee. The motion was lost, 14 to £5. no quorum voting. The clerk then called the roll. This showed only two more than a quorum and, on Mr. Harris’ motion, the sen ate went into executive session. m HARRISON ON LIVE TOPICS. rh« Ex*President Discusses the Tariff end Indiana and New York Polities. New York, Aug. 20.—The Commer cial-Advertiser to-day prints the fol lowing interview with ex-President Harrison at the house of Captain liargnolt, at Spring Lake, N. J. “My position is a peculiar one. It is hard for people to understand how I am situated. My lips are necessar ily sealed so far as criticism of this administration goes, it would be in very bad taste or form to draw comparisons between my own and Mr. Cleveland’s administration, it would be highly dis courteous for me to state wherein I believe this administration errs. Therefore I have uniformly refused to express my opinion, to draw any comparisons, or to criticise and I shall continue that policy. “Shall you not have something to suv about the new tariff bill?'1 “That is a different matter. That measure is not fathered by the ad ministration as I understand it and is a legitimate matter for discussion. Hut 1 am not yet ready. I do not wish to speak hastily of a mat ter that so intimately concerns the welfare of the party and country and goes to the very root of the prosperity of the nation. Later I shall prepare a careful analysis of the situation and shull speak to the peo ple during the Indiana campaign. I shall speak two or three times, and will let the people know my views on the tariff question. Some things that 1 say may be worth printing. “When will the campaign open in Indiana?” “Locally it opens very soon now. Hut the great battle will not begin until the fall is well advanced.” “Do you confidently expect Repub lican success there?” “It would be premature to predict.” “What do you think of the situation in New York state?” "I think the situation in New York state demands that every man outside the state keep his hands off, that is what I think. Let outsiders keep their hands off and attend to their own business. I don’t see how any thing that 1 or any other outsider can say in the way of encouragement can help restore harmony. All that I know about the situation I read in the papers and I know that the harmony of which you speak has not yet been secured, and that the two wings of tha party still maintain sep arate organizations and are as far apart as ever. Suggestions, advice or talk of any kind from outsiders would be impertinent and ill-advised. Of course the,result in New York this fall will have a mighty influence upon national affairs.” SUNDAY PRACTICE ALLOWED. Major William Worth Vindicated by the Omaha Court Martial. Omaha, Neb., Aug. 20.—Major Wil liam Worth, Second infantry, who was ordered court martialed by Presi dent Cleveland for ordering Private Cedarquist to participate in target practice on Sunday, was acquitted to day and released from custody. The findings of the court were that the orders to Cedarquist were war ranted by the exigencies of the occa sion and that the proclamation of President Lincoln was not in force at present, not being part of the army regulations. Major Worth was in command of a battalion of the Second infantry at the liellevue rifle range and required his men to engage in target practice on Sunday. Private Cedarquist dis obeyed the order, was courtmartialed, convicted _ and sentenced to three months’ imprisonment. The mat ter was taken up by con gress and President Cleveland com muted the term of imprisonment and ordered Major Worth courtmartialed for disobeying the order of President Lincoln issued November, 15, 1862, prohibiting unnecessary work on Sun day. The exigencies of the case to which the finding refers were the disturb ances on the railroads and the com monweal movements, which led many army officers to believe that the troops would shortly be called out. In reviewing the finding of the court General llrooke says the court evidently based its findings on the ground that President Lincoln's order was not in force. He then mildly criticises the board for not eliminating in its find ings all reference to the charges of disobedience of orders and for failing to convict Major Worth on “the re maining alllegations and of conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline. ” JOHN ARKINS AT REST.

Levi Eliry'i Experience Worthy Serious Attention. From the Detroit Evening News. Away out Gratiot Avenue, far from the din and turmoil of the business cen tre, there are many attractive homes. The intersecting' streets are wide, clean and shaded by large leaf-covered trees, and the people you meet are typical of industry, economy and honest toil. There are many pretty residences, but none more inviting in its neatness and home-like comfort than that of Mr. Levi Elsey, the well-known builder and contractor, at 74 Moran street just off Gratiot Mr. Elsey is an old resi dent of Detroit, having moved here about forty years ago. Me has erected hundreds of houses in different parts of the city, and points with pride to such buildings as the Newberry & McMullan and Cainpaw blocks in which he dis played his ability as a superintendent. “I have seen Detroit grow from a village to a city,” he observed yester day in conversation with the writer, “and I don't think there are many towns in America to-day equal to it in point of beauty. I know-almost everybody in the city, and an incident which re cently happened in my life has inter ested all my friends. “It is now about eightyears ago since I was stricken down with my first case of illness. One cold, blustering day I Was down town and through my nat ural carelessness at that time 1 per mitted myself to get chilled right through. When I arrived home that evening I felt a serious pain in my left leg. I bathed it that night, but by morning I found it had grown worse. In fact it was so serious that 1 sent for my family physician, and he informed me that 1 was suffering from varicose veins. My leg swelled up to double its natural size and the pain increased in volume. The agony was simply awfuL I was laid up and never left my bed for eight weeks. At times I felt as though I would grow frantic with pain. My leg was bandaged and was propped up in. the bed at an angle of 30 degrees in order to keep the blood from flowing to my extremeties. "I had several doctors attending me, but I believe my own judgment helped me better than theirs. After a seige of two months I could move around, still 1 was on the sick list and hud to doctor myself for years. I was never really cured and suffered any amount of an guish. “About two years ago I noticed an article in the Evening News about my friend, Mr. Northrup, the Woodward Avenue merchant; In an interview with him he stated that he had used V>r. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple and that they cured him. 1 knew him very well, having built his house out Woodward Avc., and I thought I would follow his suggestion. 1 must confess I did so with marvelous success. From the time I began to take the Pink Pills I felt myself growing to be a new man. They acted on me like a magical stimulant The pain departed and I soon was as strong and healthy as ever. Before trying the Pink Pills I had used any amount of other medi cine without any noticeable benefit But the Pills cured me and I was my self again. “When a person finds himself re lieved and enjoying health he is apt to expose himself again to another attack of illness. Some three months ago I stopped taking the Pink Pills, and from the day I did so, I noticed a change in my condition. A short time since I renewed my habit of taking them with the same beneficial results which met me formerly. I am again nearly as strong as ever, although I am a man about 56 years of age. 1 tell you, sir, the Pink Pills are a most wonderful medicine and if they do as well in other cases, as they did in mine they are the best in the world. I freely recommend them to any sufferer.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements nec essary to give nwe life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head ache,. the after effect of la grippe, pal pitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female.

The editor of Natural Science (Eng. land) in its last issue makes this little fling at the United States: “Strange are the ways of the American place hunter, and strange, as we have noted before, is the system under which sci entific appointments are made in the United Slates. One of our transatlan tic correspondents complains that he has no time for scientific work. ‘At present,’ lie writes, ‘I am very busy being engaged in politics, as I am a candidate before the republican con vention for the nomination of state geologist and have the most flattering prospects My only opponent is a local collector.’ As our friend might possi b>y “ptain the appointment, we have sutbcient regard for his reputation to suppress his name.” Come Outers” is the name of a new re ligious sect in Georgia.

If any of them desire to fight me, I at once display a flag of truce and uncon ditionally surrender. As a lawyer I carry this further. Under no stress no compulsion, no apparently mag nificent opportunity for me to air my art, will I ever cross examine a woman who is a witness against me, and in this I think I have a wisdom beyond Mr. Butterworth.”—Chiifaaa Herald. - THE FREE LIST BILLS. Mr. vest Defends the Action of tho g«Q. nto In It* Tariff Coarse. Washington, Aug. 10.— In the sen ate to-day Mr. Harris asked for the second reading of the house revenue bills. No one objecting, the bills to place coal, iron ore and barbed wire on the free list were read. Mr. Har. ris then had read a letter from Secre tary Carlisle concerning the effect o' the proposed bills upon the revenue of the government This declared in brief that the present tariff bill would produce a surplus of 915,000,000, but the house bills would cause a deficit of 929,000,000. - Mr. Berry called up the free sugar bill. Mr. Harris, while favoring free sugar, thought this and the other bills should be referred to the finance committee. The senate could not ad journ without providing for ths threatened deficiency of 928,000,000 or 930,000,000 which might result front the passage of this bill. Mr. Berry insisted that the senate should decide the matter and not bnry it in committee. He said the senate had been charged with being a friend of the sugar trnst. He wanted the bill passed exactly as it came from the house. Mr. Harris said an early report would be made by the committee. After conference reports on appro priation bills had been presented, Mr. Vest, referring to Mr. Harris’ motion to refer the free sugar and other hills to the finance committee, said that it meant the death of the bills, as the committee was now politically a tie with the prospect of the disappear ance of a quorum within the next few days. He declared the position of the senate on the tariff had been vindi cated by the letter of Secretary Car lisle which proved conclusively that if the house bill bad been enacted it would have caused a deficiency of 830, 000,000. He showed that the power acquired by the sugar trust was the result of its fosterings by the McKin ley bill. Mr. Vest proceeded with his de scription of the difficulties in connec tion with the adjustment of the sugar schedule. Under the Wilson bill as reported to the house from the com mittee there were a duty and bounty. When it was in the house free sugar was inserted. The finance committee prepared a bill which gave no differ entials in favor of the trust. “And yet,” said he with bitterness, “they call us creatures'of the sugar trust. Liars, slanderers, infamous libellers.” Mr. Vest said he would not enter into the charges that the senate was a party to the fight- between the president and the senator from Mary land (Gorman). He (Vest) had his strong differences with that senator on the tariff and he had written a letter long ago to the Greystone club stating his objections to the policy of Mr. Gorman and supporting Mr. Cleveland for his position on revenue reform. “But," continued he, “I be long to no man. I belong to no fac tion. I am neither Montague nor Capulet, York nor Lancaster. I can never follow one who does violence to the principles of the Democratic party. ” Mr. Mills followed Mr. Vest, claim ing that the senate bill did not reflect the sentiments of 1,000 people in the United States. No Republican wanted it, no Democrat wanted it and no Populist wanted it. The great mass of the people condemned it. Mr. Mills was followed by Mr. Vilas of Wisconsin. Mr. Jones of Arkansas, who had ta ken the lead so far as the senate was concerned in the recent tariff confer ence, offered an amendment to the free sugar bill imposing a fiat 30 per cent duty on all sugars, raw and re fined.
