WASHINGTON , Feb. 23. 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

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. "

WASHINGTON , Feb. 28. 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. Mr. Frye Indicated n will-
Insncis to ilei'er the remainder of his re
marks until tomorrow , and the sonata went
Into executive session. After fifteen min
utes opcnt considering executive business th ?
doors were reopened and nfier the transac

TRINIDAD , Colo. , Feb. 23. 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.

LONDON , Feb. 28. The Edinburgh EvenIng -
Ing- News today repeats emphatically that
Mr. Gladstone has resigned and that the
premiership has been offered to Lord Rose-
bery.
In spite of the cold Mr. Gladstone drove
from hla residence In Downing street to
Ducklngham palare In an open phaeton at . ' 1
o'clock this afternoon. On arriving at the
palace Mr. Gladstone was Immediately ad
mitted to the presence of the queen.
It was freely stated that Mr. Gladstone
had gone to the palace In order to.officially
tender his resignation to her majesty.
Ills audience with the queen lasted half
an hour , and the queen returned to Windsor
nl fi o'clock this atternoon.
After Mr. Gladstone's leturn to Downing
street tl'e Associated press correspondent
called at his residence and was received by
Mr. Lyttleton , secretary of the premier. Mr.
Lyttleton Informed the correspondent that
Mr. Gladstone had not resigned and that the
situation remained unchanged.
The Associated press correspondent then
asked Mr. Lyttlelon It the situation at pres
ent was the same as when Sir Algernon
West telegraphed from lllarrltz after the
Pall Mall Gazette had started the report
that Mr. Gladstone Intended to resign.
After some Iwsltution , Mr. Lyttleton ro-
plled the- situation of affairs was the same
as whan the much discussed dfspatch was
sent.
The Tlincn declares that whatever Is done
about the leadership. It Is certain that home
rule will be dropped and that neither Lord
Rosebery nor Sir Vernon Harcourt Is likely
to revive It. The Times adds : "However
they may differ upon other points , they
know perfectly well that the llrltlsh public
Is sick of paying blackmail to criminal con
spirators. "
Mr. Gladstone Is understood to have made
a propoS-al to his colleagues to revive the
homo rule question in the shape of a resolu
tion , pledging the House of Commons to deal
with homo rnlo for Ire-land In the coming
seslon of Parliament.

report of Mr. Oi.idslone's retirement as
meaning that the movement In favor of
homo rule will be dropped.
The Freeman's Journal party will continue
to Insist that the settlement of tha Irish
question be the controlling aim of whatever
ministry governs.

CIIAMIIEIILAIN. S. I ) . Feb. 2S. ( Special
to The lice. ) Woodchoppers at work on
Phelps' Island , In the Missouri river south of
hero , have made an Important discovery.
Whllo chopping In an out of the way place
on the Island they found an underground
cave. This Island formerly belonged to Frank
Phelps. thu man found guilty at Alexandria
last fall of lti"tlgatlng the murder of Mot
Matson , but was sold by him some months
ago.Vhllu Phelps lived on the Island It
was always believed hero that his homo was
headquarters for a gang of hon < o nnd cattle
thieves , and that thin foci was the cause of
Matson's murder. 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. An Inspec
tion of the Interior showed that mnnbcrlo.ia
horses had been kept there. The eave was
sufficiently large to hold six or eight horsea
at one time. The finding of the cave cre
ated quite n sensation hero among those who
have snspccted the nature of the business
conducted by Phelps and his crew.

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.
Captain Dcanchnmp has been recalled and
