That Conference Kc ; > ort.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 27. After ten
days of hard work the conference com
mittee on t'.ie tariff bill completed its
work late yesterday afternoon and re
ported the result to the house. The
committee hud to deal with 4(54 amend-
incuts. In the more important items
the result of the committee's action
was as follows : The data when the bill
is to take effect is October G. February
1 next is fixed as the ultimate date
upon which goods deposited in bond be
fore October 1 may be withdrawn at
the old rates of duty.
Ju the case of sugar the conference ,
in place of uniform bounty of two cents
on grades of 20 and above , provided
for by the house , included maple sugar
ii'id adopted the following provisions :
"On and after July 1 , 1895 , there
shall be paid from any moneys in the
treasury not othcrwit-e appropriated
under the provisions of section 3,530
of the revised statutes to the producer
of sugar testing not less than 90 de
grees by the polariscope , from beets ,
sorghum or .sugar cane grown within
the United States or from maple sap
produced within the United Suites a ,
bounty of 2 cents per pound , and upon
such sugar testing less than 90 degrees
and not less than SO degrees a bounty
of lj cents per pound under such
rules and regulations as the commis
sioner of internal revenue , with the
approval of the secretary of the treas
ury , may prescribe. In the case of
imported sugars the house line of No.
16 Dutch standard , below which sugar
will be free , is adopted , but on higher
grades the result was compromised as
follows : "All sugars above No , 16 in
color shall pay a duty of 5-10 of a cent
a pound , provided that all sugars above
No. 16 in color shall pay 1-10 of a cent
a pound in addition to the rate herein
provided for when exported from or
the product of any country when and
so long as such country pays or shall
hereafter pay directly or indirectly a
bounty on the exportation of such sugar
which may be included in this grade
which is greater than paid on raw
sugars of lower saccherine strength ,
and the secretary of the treasury shall
prescribe suitable rules and regulations
to carry this provision into effect ; and
provided further , that all machinery
purchased abroad and erected in a beet
sugar factory and used in the produc
tion of sugar in the United States from
beets produced therein shall be admit
ted duty free until January 1 , 1892.
Provided , That any duty collected on
any of the above described machinery
purchased abroad and imported into
the United States for the uses above
indicated since January 1 , 1870 , shall
be refunded.
The conferees , speaking of the effect
of the bill on the revenues , say they do
not believe there is any material differ
ence between the house and the senate
bills in the matter of estimated reduc
tion made in the dutiable schedules ,
namely. § 60,000,000 , and their action
has not materially affected that esti
mate except in the restoration of the
internal re\enue' provisions of the
house , and on that point they say :
"For the year ending- June 30 , 1890 ,
the receipts from special taxes on the
class of persons to be relieved by the
bill were § 1,515,481 , from taxes on
tobacco $18,235,482 and from snuff
§ 737,731. By the passage of the bill
the reduction in the revenue from to
bacco will be § 4,581,370 and- from
snuff § 184.433 , making from these two
sources an aggregate of § 4,786,803.
Adding these figures to the reduction
which would follow in the abolition of
the special taxes would make the total
reduction in the internal revenue re
ceipts $6,281,284. It is probable that
the reduction by the customs schedules
will probably be about § 60.000.000 ,
which would give an aggregate reduction -
"
tion by the bill of 66,00"0,000.

mormon Church Property.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 27. Represen
tative Caswell has reported favorably
from the committee on judiciary the
senate laws in reference to bigamy and
restriction in the ownership of churches
to real estate above a fixed value. The
bill has particular reference to the
Church of Latter Day Saints , which
became owner of , , , large properties be
yond the limit and whose charter was
forfeited in 1887. The proceeds of the
sale of real estate were turned over'to
the school fund of the state , but no
provision wss made for the disposition
of the personal property belonging to
the corporation , which now amounts
to nearly § 400.000 and is awaiting- the
action of court. The committee deem
it wisj to let the money t-ike Ihe same
course as that derived from the sale of
the real estate and place it in the school
fund.
World'I'alr Sub-Committee

ISeiiry WattcrHoii in Boston.
BOSTON , Mass. , Sept. 27. A large
audience gathered at the Massachusetts
reform club , including many distin
guished gentlemen , to greet Henry
Waterson of the Louisville Courier-
Journal , who. delivered , an address on
the political issues of the day , includ
ing the tariff and election bills.
Mr. Waterson eloquently defended
the south against the charge of hostil
ity to the north. He paid his respects
to the latter day republicans as exem
plified by the present leaders of the
party , and said that ever since the
termination of the war there has exist
ed at the north a body of public men
who persist in ascribing to the white
people of the south purposes .and a
character wholly foreign to them.
According to them the average south
erner is a cross between a feudel lord
and a modern tough. While the poor
black man is pictured as a patient
martyr abused and menaced in his per
son , cheated of the fruits of his labor
and deprived of his legal right to vote.
He was here , he said , to put his foot
upon the falsehood that the people of
the south are doing anything , or have
done nothing , that the people of the
north would not have done had their
places been exchanged.
Mr. Watterson denounced the un
reasoning sectionalism of demagogues
who seek to inflame one kindred people
ple against another , and called atten
tion to the fact that many of the most
prominent men of the south , before ,
during- and since the war , were of
northern birth , most of them from New
England , while numbers of northern
leaders were of southern origin. He
depleted the evils of protection and
welcomed Mr. Blaine into the ranks of
the free traders , though the secretary
of state was more advanced than he
( Watterson ) in that direction. Jn con
clusion he outlined the ultimate dan
ger to New England from protection
and appealed from such politicians as
Messrs. Blaine , Quay , Hoar , Sherman
and Chandler to the good men of the
republican party who have been hon
estly misled by their ghastly and lurid
misrepresentations of their fellow citi
zens of the south. Mr. Watterson de
livered his speech with great vigor
and was loudly applauded. He was
followed by Mr. Sherman , Mr. Hoar ,
democratic candidate for congress in
Gen. Banks' district , and Dr. William
Everett.
Government Sues the Kock Island.
CHICAGO , 111. , Sept. 29. A suit for
§ 20,000 damages was brought on be
half of the United States in the United
States circuit court against the Chicago ,
Kock Island & Pacific railroad com
pany. The suit is for tolls upon 100.-
000 cars carrying freight over the gov
ernment Mississippi river bridge from
Rock Island. 111. , to Davenport. la. ,
and covers the period from March.

road company , the Rock Island & Mer
cer railroad and the Chicago. Milwau
kee & St. Paul. It is said that 50.000

The iiiitest ICuilroad Fake.
Nicw YOKIC. Sept. 25. The Tribune
states that the story sent from San
Francisco of the project of a new trans
continental line in which the Yander-
bilts were to combine with Senator
Stanford , did not create excitement in
railway circles yesterday. Its struc
tural weakness was discovered without
the aid of a microscope , and the friends
of General George J. Magee , who was
used as the authority , expressed doubt
that he had written the statement
ascribed to him. If there is any foundation - '
dation for the idea that a competing
road with the Central Pacific is to be
established , the published story gave
no hint of it. The surrender of the
Bee line to the proposed syndicate , and
the alleged intention to purchase the
Chicago & Alton , were said by some
persons to smack of a desire to ' 'bear * '
the first named and bull the last named
property. Chauncey M. Depew , when
he saw the story , declared that it was
nonsense , and a brother of Senator
Stanford , in private conversation ,
laughed at the idea that the senator
was concerned in such a project as was
suggested.
Stirring Up House Democrat ) * .
WASHINGTON , Sept. 25. The pepub-
lican members of the house committee
on rules this morning- discussed the
pending- proposition to change the rules
so as to compel democratic members to
attend the sessions of the house and
insure final action on the tariff bill.
It was decided that the action proposed
would be premature and it would be
well to wait until the minority had be
trayed a purpose to refrain from voting
before adopting stringent measures of
compulsion.
The senate has confirmed John A. i
Williams as United States.judge for the
eastern district of Arkansas.

then administered to Langston amid
cheers from the republican side and
from the galleries. Mr. Ilowell. of
Illinois , called up the case of Miller vs
Elliott , of South Carolina. The previ
ous question was ordered and despite a
protest from Mr. Kerr , of Iowa , that
some reason for its adoption should bo
given , the resolution unseating Elliott
and seating- Miller was agreed to. Mr.
Chandler , of Massachusetts , asked
unanimous consent for the considera
tion of the resolution providing- that a
sub-committee of the house on the
world's fair shall inquire into the pro

sioners , but Mr. Kilgoreobjected. The

ported the following- resolution : The
house , deeming it a high duty that the
utmost courtesy and decorum demanded
by parliamentary law ami precedent
should mark the mutual relations of
the two houses of congress , does here
by express its disapproval of the un
parliamentary language used by Hon.
Robert P. Kennedy , representative
from the state of Ohio in a speech de
livered on the lloor of the house Sep
tember 3. 1890 , and published in the
Congressional Record September i.
1890. and considering it impracticable
to separate the unparliamentary portions
tions of said speech from such parts
thereof as may be parliamentary :
therefore be it resolved. That the pub
lic printer be directed to exclude from
