The democratic special caucus on the tariff bill Is over and both sides nro claiming to have made pro gress. The outcome Is In the nature of a victory for the democratic members of Iho finance committee who prepared the bill , as It was returned to them without any Instruc tions to make any changes. PI Immediately after the adjournment of the tt U caucus Senators Gorman , Drlce , Hill , Smith , Murphy , Camden and ono or two others who have been known to bo very much opposed f to the bill of the finance committee , held n consultation , and their attitude was In direct contrast with the mcmbcrt ) ofthe finance committee. During the three days , ended last night , but one vote was taken , and that but a few minutes before adjournment. This wns on a proposition to Instruct the finance committee to put Iron ore on the dutiable list , without any rate whatever , and this was lost by a vote of 19 to 17. Senator Pugh of Alabama stated he would not be bound by the action of a caucus and reserved' the right to support his motion In the senate. Several senators at once declared It would bo useless to take any votes If senators did not Intend to abide by the action of the caucus , Then Senator Voorhces , chairman of the finance com mittee , moved that the caucus adjoitrn'to meet at the' call of the c'uilrman , with the understanding that the finance committee should continue Its work nnd report as soon as possible. Senator llrlco said tonight that the result could not be considered In the light of defeat for those who were Instrumental In bringing about the caucus. Ho claimed a great deal had been accomplished In prc- ficntlng to the committee the Ideas and wishes of Individuals upon the tariff. It has been demonstrated to them that certain schedules did not meet the approval of a largo number of senator ! . There had been a full hearing given every democratic sena tor nnd between now and tlio time the bill Is reported every senator will bo accorded n hearing-by the finance committee. VINDICATED THE BILL. While members of the finance committee are reticent , what they nay Indicates they feel that the caucus bus resulted In a vin dication of the bill which they have pre pared , and Instead of being Instructed by the caucus , they uro free to present such a bill as they think Is best suited to the prln- . clples of the party und necessities of rov- 011110. It Is claimed that these who brought about the caucus expected to secure votes enough to Instruct the placing of a duty on wool , Iron ore , sugar , lumber , salt and n number of other articles and Increase the duty on sugar nnd coal , and yet , upon the test , the proposition fell short of the necessary ( votes. Opinion seems to be divided ns to whether the committee will now make any changes nnd the Impression Is that iiomo changes of n minor nature will be made , ns well _ some concessions granted where the de- mlV ] ia'vT ) fc5tiJKirently Justified , nnd ivhero the changes \7fM--Hot necessitate chances In the bill. * . The afternoon session of the cauitis- pre sented some Interesting features und ' 'al though It wns expected there would be moro voting and not very much talk , It turned out that It was devoted almost exclusively to talk. Senators Gorman , Ransom , Jones , Morgan , Pugh nnd Ilerry npoke. The latter Epoko In support of the bill as framed. Senator Push's motion for a duty on Iron ore had boon made the day before , and ho was anxious for n vuie. but at the ronue.it of Senator llrlco ho withdrew St. The pend ing question was the resolution of Senator Martin , Instructing the finance committee to make a number of changes In the bill. In order to get n vote on tlio Iron ore prop osition Senator Martin withdrew his resolu tion uml the vote was taken with the result nbovo noted , which practically put an end to the caucus. caucus.WASTED WASTED THE MORNING. The morning session of the caucus was devoted - voted largely to the speech of Senator .White . of California , who discussed Iho fruit nnd wine schedules. The senator did not neslro any changes , but Insisted upon several that ho thought were nccesbary to make the bill complete for his state. Senator llrlce had the floor during n part of the session and made another spirited tnlk upon the methods which the finance committee has adopted In shaping the tariff 1)111. Ho directed his remarks on this occa sion especially nt the apparent desire for haste in getting through with the work of the caucus. A motion had been made to proceed with thq voting on the various schedules In ac cordance with a resolution offered by Sena tor Martin of Kansas. It looked for the time ns If this order might bo Immediately do- dared , hut It was stoutly resisted by Mr llrlco and others. Mr. llrlco declared that Filch a course nl this time , before there had been n full and free exchange of views would bo contrary to the spirit of the con ference , and would engender moro bad feelIng - Ing than now exists. Ho pleaded for suf ficient opportunity to discuss the bill In nil It bearings , and said that It was necessary to change Its sectional aspects. When the caucus adjourned It was evl- flcnt f i oin Iho manner of the senators that they had boon participants In un exciting meeting , but. they were very reticent ns to the detmln of Jio proceedings. No action was taken upon any Item of Iho bill , but n majority of the senators express the belief thiit the voting stage will noon be reached. " * LISTENED TO OI1JECT10N.S. The conference was devoted to hpar- Ing statements from gcnatom who desired n cluuiKo In the bill. Senators Hill , llrlce , Whlto , Cnffery and Gorman were among \hoto present during the greater part of the time , and U Is nniloratocM thitt they ex pressed themselves quit ? fully as to changes they desired. These changes appeared tel l > e many and varied. All ths democratic tnembera of the finance committee who nro In Iho city are also present , but thpy acted rather H judges tluui as active participants In the proceedings , listening to the requests jnaJp , nirl occasionally vouchsafing an ox- pollution. It hnu now como to be understood thai Senator Martin's resolution Is n long document , specifically Instructing the com mittee what shall be done In the way of granting protection to the numerous articles enumerated. It lum been greatly i.'ullHctl ' nnd very much nlnrcd In scpc nine' * It was Introduced. The question of the method of levying duty was dlsciiHEed nnd the content was between these who favored specific nnd those advo cating ad valorem dtitlcn. There wns qulto n ctrong deposition manifest among the north ern and eastern senators to attack the system upon which the sonata bill has been framed , which changes almost every schedule so ns to provide for ad valorem duties. Senator Hill led the opposition to this system , and whllo ho expressed the opinion that nd va lorem duties were feasible In some COBCS , he argued that a general adoption of this sys tem In opposition to the specific system would prove delusive nnd be the means of encouraging n great deal of fraud In the col lection ot the revenues. He said , also , that the people most Interested In the tariff were generally opposed to thin system not only for these reasons , but because of the uncer tainties nnd Intricacies which It Involved. Senator Mills contended for the nil valorem system ns the most equitable and Just to all. Ho declared that this syatom was no moro liable to abuse under the proper administra tion of the law than the other. It Is now understood among many of the senators that the caucus will not attempt to go through the bill Item by Item , ns that would he an almost endless task , but that In all probability It will send It hack to the committee with Instructions upon general tines , nnd , possibly , upon the more Important articles , leaving thu details to the committee. If the discontented senators agree to this It Is probable that the caucus will fioon ter minate Its labors u'ATciiiNo TIM : SINATI : : OK.MOCKATS. Thrlr Proposed Action on HIP Tnrlff Hill tin.Subject of .Much Comment. WASHINOTN , Feb. 23. Members of the ways and means committee of the house are watching with the keenest interest the action of the senatorial caucus on the tariff bill. For the time being the llland silver debate has scant attention among the tariff leaders. The ways nnd means committee room Is again tlio center of activity , where the course of the senate caucus Is pretty fuliy understood nnd dlscm-seil. Tlio tendency to put the Wilson bill under fire Is watched for the ultimate effect It will hnvo on a revision of the tariff. The statement made In the caucus that the Wilson bill had been framed without any consultation with President Cleveland or Secretary Carlisle Is denied by members of the committee. An Associated press representative talked today with all the democratic members of the committee In the city. It disclosed they were not apprehensive that the fennte's action would materially change the policy and the schedules of the Wilson bill. Representative McMlllln of the committee said : "Tho public sentiment of the country Is so great for tariff reform that no man or set of men can stand In the way of It. 1 have no fear that the cause of reduction will bo seriously embarrassed or delayed by the action of the senate. Changes in the Wilson bill will undoubtedly be made , but In the end It will come out nil right , for a turirf bill necessarily represents a compromise ot various views. " Representative llrynn of the committee said : "The statement that the president and Secretary Carlisle were not consulted on the Wilson bill Is erroneous , us the members of the committee frequently conferred with Mr. Carlisle. ' They hod his advice and help , and as I understand it , his approval was given to the measure. The tariff bill Is not Jeopar dized by the action of the senate. There will be changes , but broad and substantial revenue revision will surely bo accom plished. " Representative Rrccklnrldge of Arkansas , who has been closely allied with Mr. Wilson In framing the tariff bill , and who was of late been conferring with the senate finance committee ns to the changes proposed , said : "I have no doubt that our friends In the scnnto will como together on some common ground nnd that the senate and house will ultmatt ! > ly-Rgrco'ona"comprchcnsftYa and Just revision of the tariff.

The senate held n two hours session today , the whole of which wns given to n speech by Senator Fryo In opposition to President Cleveland's Hawaiian policy. After a short executive session the senate adjourned. Mr. Voorhees , democrat , of Ohio offered a resolution appointing Senator Mills to the finance committee In place of Senator Vance. Senator Hoar objected to Its Immediate con sideration and under the rules It wenj over until tomorrow. Immediately after the reading of the Jour nal Air. Fryo , republican , of Maine ad dressed the senate on the Hawaiian testi mony taken before the senate committee on foreign relations. The chiefs of royal blood , ho said , had died out In 1&74 when Kalakua was elected king.After that for a time there was peace In the Islands , but ho named his sis ter , Liltuokalanl , as successor to the throne and Klio Immediately began scheming for the overthrow of her brother. She wns un successful , but death made her ruler of Hawaii. The Louisiana lottery tried to get a foothold In Hawaii nnd offered the queen $500,000 and an annual payment to her if she would get the company established on the Islands. She yielded to the temptation and made every effort to this end. Her executive power was not sufficient to ac complish this whllo the legislature was op posed to It , so she endeavored to assume ab solute power by overthrowing the constitu tion. tion."Maddened "Maddened by her success , Llliuoknlanl took the final step which forever ended the monarchy of the Islands , " said Mr. Frye. "Sho undertook to promulgate a now con stitution , taking from the people the right of suffrage , depriving the white men of their property , nnd reducing the best men and women to abject blavcry. " Mr. Fryo read the letter of President Cleveland to President Dole , ending : "May God have your excellency In his wlso keep ing. " "Mr. President , " said ho Impressively , "I believe God heard that pnryer of President Cleveland and answered It. The magnifi cent courage of that little band of whtto men which , confronted by the whole power of the United States , repre sented In that harbor by two great ships of war , eqtppcd with guns which could burn the city to ashes In nn hour , enabled them to say firmly nndwith dignity : 'Wo will never surrender,1 enabled them to fortify their government buildings , to call for volunteers , and to determine deliberately that they would resist the landing of the United States marines to the very death , nnd , If need be , to fire on that flag they loved better than they loved their lives such courage could only have been divinely Inspired. " Mr. Fryo read the code of naval Instruc tions , In which It was said that naval offi cers should "consult the Unlfcd States rep resentatives In whichever country they might be. " Ho said the orders of President Cleveland , giving n private citizen para mount authority over the military forces of the United States , was unparalleled. Referring to Mr. Wllll * ' speech , welcoming Hawaii Into the family of nations , Mr. Frye Bald that while ho was uttering tlicbii words of friendship and good will ho curried In hla pocket Instructions to destroy forever that government which ho wan so effusively wel coming. "Aro you proud ot that ? " lie asked. "Think ot It : directed by the president of 65,000,000 people of n country probably the most pow erful on earth , hla minister Is contriving , scheming , nssldnouply working night and day lu rcatoro a rotlon monarchy , " At 1:55 : p. in.

Ex-1'resldciU Harrison was met nt the depot hero by a conunltteco headed by the mayor and fully 2,009 people. After being serenaded by the band , Mr. Harrison was Introduced to the crowd , nnd delivered tlio following speech : " .My Friends : I am very much surprised , and , being human , I am very much gratified to nee so many of you today and to feel that the passing through your city of n private citizen , whoso occupation just now Is that of a school teacher , should have excited so much Interest ns to have brought yon out hero to see me. Several of these gentlemen who cnmo upon the car have suggested themes for a speech. I think they all agreed that I ought to talk about the tariff. That Is a very troublesome question. I remember when I was a boy at school we had the tariff up for debate In our literary society , and a gentleman , who afterwards became a promi nent judge In Iowa , began hla speech by sayIng - Ing that there had been a great deal said about the tariff , but he thought ho had it In n nutshell , nnd , just at that time his modesty and embarrassment were such tli at ho broke down altogether and closed his speech right there without cracking that nut , nnd it seems to bo un- cracked to this day. Hut , my friends , the question Is simply this : That those who ba- llcvc In a protective tariff have the opinion that the American Interests ought to be pro tected by American legislation. ( Cheers. ) That Is the theory upon which all congresses and parliaments legislate in the old country , nnd wo think this Is the American policy. Now it is very noticeable that all through our great centers of population frco traders and protectionists alike are all urging city councils and boards of county commissioners either to vote money to devote to the relief of the poor and unemployed or to secure them some kind of public work. In order that men may earn their dally bread. ( Cries ot "That Is right. " ) Now If that Is right , It la also right for congress so to frame our tariff legislation as to bring the most work to this country that Is possible. It Is very clear that the blankets we need cannot be made here and In England both. They will all bo made here or there , or part hero and part there , and the larger the number of blankets we have to make , the larger the market we will have for wool and the more work we will have for our American work men. "Yon have another Interest out hero which you have assorted with a good deal of vehemence and determination , and that Is the silver question. Now , I say to you today what I said when I was president , nnd what I have always believed , that n larger use of silver for money and free coinage - ago of silver upon a basis to bo agreed upon that would maintain Its parity with gold was good for the whole world. I do not bellovo that wo could run free coinage our selves whllo the European governments wore pursuing the policy they have been pursuing with silver. Hut , my fellow-citizens , there are clear Indications now In England and In Germany "that they are feeling the effects of n scarcity of gold and Its prostrating effects upon the Industries. 1 believe these two great countries are nearer right today than they have been for the last twenty years. They are all conslderln , , favorably the question of a larger and freer use of silver as a money metal , and bimetallism has gained strength In England. That en ergetic nnd virile young emperor of Germany Is himself considering the question of bi metallism. I do not think that these coun tries nro coming to the next silver confer ence ns a coy maiden , awaiting for ns to make the advances , holding back , but will como with greater readiness than In any recent years , and will agree with us on n basis for a larger use of silver as money. I would have been glad if this could have been accomplished while 1 was at Wabhlng- ton. I said to one of your senators then , that If I could bring about the free use of silver upon a basis that , In my judgment , would maintain Its parity as money , I would rather signalize my administration by that act than by any other that I know of. ( Cheers. ) "And now a great lesson we have all to learn Is , that It Is not possible for every man in this country to have his way. All our legislation Is a sort of compromise ; It Is the adjusting of the Interests between men and between states upon broad and lib eral lines nnd those lines wo will all find out presently through the teachings of that hard schoolmaster , experience. Wo will como out of the slough of despond and stand again upon the rocks , "I thank you for your kindness In listen ing to this speech that I did not Intend to make. Possibly I may be sorry for having made It. ( Those present cried 'Never. ' ) I have spoken with frankness and with that Interest In public affairs that I take now ns a private citizen. I t-ald to our people at Indianapolis the other day that l did not bcllovo an ex-president had to bo a political deaf-mute. 1 think ho ought to know a little more than ho did before ho went Into the office and that. If anything , ho ought to have a larger interest In the country and more friendly feeling for Iho people. HAJlltlSON AT IA JUNTA.

The murdered man lived on the bottom land on the west side of the Missouri , directly opposite the Island. Ho was thus In a position to see what was going on , and ' his presence Interfered with the operations of the gang. Therefore an assassin was hired to shoot him down In cold blood. The dis covery of the underground cave bears out the assertions of numerous persons , who have alwavs maintained that stolen stock was secreted on the Island until such time aa It wns safe to run It out of the country. Tlio mouth of the cavern was carefully con cealed by n thick matting of vines nnd branches , and It wns only by the merest ac cident that It was discovered.

PARIS , Feb. 28. A sensation lm been caused In thlH city and elsewhere by tlio ap pearance of an article in the Figaro. In wlilch the c/ar if ) Uitsuln. Princess Marie d'Orleansvlfo of Prince \Vultloinar of DMI > - mark , Count do Ilcauclianip , a cnptaln in tlic French army niul French military atlaelni at Copenhagen , ami General Dorians , secre tary general and chief of the military liuneo- hold of President Cnrnot , play conspicuous roles. Some Idea of the gravity of the revelations may liu gathered from the fact that Premier CaHlmlr-Perler today submitted to Premdent Carnet for his signature an order removing count d'Annay , ex-mlnlHter to Copenhagen , from the diplomatic service- , owing to lilsi con nection wltli'thc affair. The revelations uro associated with the Franco-Russian alliance , mill appear to have been made by speaking of the results of Intrigues carried on behind tlio back of the Dupuy ministry. ThM Is not the first time the name ot Princess Marie d'Orleans has been connected with court Intrigues. The princess Is said to bo a remarkably clever and attractive lads. She Is n daughter of tlio duUo ot Olmrtros. was born .January 13 , 1SG3 , and was married to Prince Waldcmar , who Is a captain ( n tlio Danish navy , at the Chateau d'Eii on October 2 , 1S85. Some Idea of tlio power of Intrigue which the princess Is said to possess may lin gathered from the fact that ex-Mlnl-tei- Flourens does not scruple to describe hero as the "conscious artificer" of Prince Ills marck's downfall. The party sprouting up around Prince Henry of Chartres Is said tii consider Print'c s Marie d'Orleans as Its buna dca ( good goddess ) . Tim favor In which the princess stands with the czar'is based . , -.on family relations and the pleasure ho takes In her convent.oi.al conversation and her spirits. DAZZLED BY A DIADKM. The crown of Norway has been dangled before - fore the eyes of Princess Marie d'Orleans by Frenchmen of Influence and Frenchmen of war have danced at her beck. Whenever the czar was at Frcdensborg , the country residence so much enjoyed by the royal family of Denmark , his Imperial majcniy was much In company with Iih slster-In-la.u She , like the czar , Is fond of ani mals and of long walks , and UIH czar frequently accompanied her through the woods. Naturally It was supposed the prin cess had great Influence with" the czar , -and bolus n thorough Frenchwoman and , spon taneous In her Impulses , she suggested to the crnr that during the sojourn of Admiral Aveleno and the Prunslan officers In Paris ( last autumn his majesty should receive two French war vessels at Copenhagen , where ho wan then on a visit to the royal family The princess communicated these facts to the French minister at Copenhagen and the czar In the course of time Inspected tha French warships which were sent to Copen hagen. The chief Incident mentioned In connection with tlio revelations Is the alleged attempt to obtain , through the Prlncoso Marie d'Or- leans , an Idea of the czar's real feelings on the scope of the Franco-Prussian alliance. With this object In view Heattchamp IH said to have approached the princess , telling her of the Information which was rciiuired by the French government , or rather by Presi dent Carnot. The princess , according to the story , is said to have replied vaguely to Ilio suggestions of Captain Hcauchamp , who nub seiiicntly | handed four written questions to the favorite of the czar , asking the princess to try and obtain answers to them. WHAT IS THE OI1JECT ? The first of these questions was : "What docs Hussla expect of Franco In return for Iho real friendship uho Is manifesting towanl her ? " The second was : "Do you think the ezai considers himself pledged toward Franco , at any rate no far as the defenslvo Is con cerned ' ! " At the request of the princess these qui'S. tlons were left with her for two days. Lat > T Captain Hcauehamp wrote to the prlnci > ui : saying that u reply wan awaited at Iho Elyseo paluco. Then It BeeniH It occurred to Iho princest : that she could not allow tlio matter to proceed without placl'ng herself In u false position toward the French govern , ment , and uho sent for the French minlsier , Count d'Annay , und Informed him that situ fell bound not to Icavo the government in the dark In regard to what wan going on M. Pasteur , secretary of the legation , Im- medlalely communicated the facts nnd. la accord with Instructions , called again on tlm princess and persuaded her to hand him the questions , The Dupuy cabinet a few daji : later came to grief , anil when the present ministry was formed Count d'Annay went to Paris and delivered the documents to Pro. mlor Caulmlr-Perler , with the result olroatiy told.
