WASHINGTON , April 27. H was not un
til seventeen minutes past 11 o'clock today
that enough senators were In their seats
to make Up n quorum. Mr. Allen endeavored
to call up his Coxey resolution us uillinlshed
business , but Mr. Hairls objcctrd staling
there wan no such thing us unfinished busi
ness.
Th choir so ruled.
Mr. Harris * motion to take up the tariff bill
was aurecd to 29 to 1C.
Mr. Dolph waived his right to the floor ,
nnd Mr. Lindsay addressed tlio senate. In
the course of Mr. Lindsay's speech a colloquy
quy occurred , In which Mr. Sherman drew
attention to the fact that the McKlnlcy bill ,
Instead of raising the duty on iron , steel and
other metals except tin plate , largely re
duced the duty , nnd therefore , It was said ,
whether right or wrong , that It was neces
sary to Institute a reduction of wages which
led to the labor troubles at Homestead Mr
Lindsay ngiood that the McKlnlcy bill had
reduced the duty on Iron nnd steel from
the former tnrln law and he was nwnio that
the iiiiMiufncturerH had attributed the necea-
fclty for i educing the wnges to the reduction
of duties That was not tlio real cause of
the reduction of wages , which was to bo
found In the natural desire of manufacturers
to reduce wages without respect to the rates
of duty.
In icply to a question by Mr. Aldrlcii as
to whether Senntor Lindsay subscribed to the
doctrine enunciated by Mr. Mills that coffee ,
tea and sugar should bo taxed and the duty
on Iron and steel reduced , Mr. Llndsa ) said
he did not think Mr. Mills voiced the senti
ment of the entire democratic party.
"I do not believe , " said Mr. Aldrlch , "that
either of the senators from Texas or tlm
senator from Kentucky kno-vs what the
dcmociutlc party wants. " ( Laughter )
TAKE A VOTH TODAY.
"If you will ngrco to take a vote on this
bill today you will find out what the demo
cratic piuty wonts , " retorted Mr. Llnd-
tay.
tay."I will agree to take an aye nnd nay vote
on the bill as It came from the house at .1
o'clock , " tald Mr. Aldrlch , throwing down
the gage.
Mr. Lindsay asked why he did not Include
the proposed nmendmetita of tbo'Jfinuue ;
committee In this proposition.
At 1:24 : Mr. Lindsay concluded his speech
nnd Immediately Senators Dolph , Culloin ,
Harris nnd others were on their feet for
recognition.
Mr. Harris was recognized , and , standing
beside his desk with the ofiiclal report of
the colloquy between Senators Aldrlch nnd
Lindsay In his hand , read the proposition ,
us ho said , of the senator from Rhode
Island , first to vote on the bill as It came
from the house , and then to vote on It as
reported to the sonata by the finance com
mittee
Mr. Lindsay had disclaimed any authority
to speak for his party ou these propositions ,
and Mr. Aldrlch said ho would like to hear
from the senator fiom Tennessee ( Harris ) ,
who had charge of the bill. As Mr. Harris
read tlio report of the debate the Interest
and anticipation became Intense and the
visitors In the gallery and senators and
members on the floor became wrought up tea
a high pitch of excitement.
PROPOSED TO VOTE AT 3 P. M.
"Now. " said Mr. Harris , "while I have not
the vanity to assert I represent the demo
cratic part ) . I beg to assure thu senator
from Rhode Island that so far as I am con
cerned , 01 so far as I can control the ac
tion of the majority of the senate , I will
consent that nt 3 o'clock wo will proceed to
vote on the amendments of the finance com
mittee and then the final passage of the bill
This tan bo done only by unanimous con
sent , and I now go further and ask for
unanimous consent. "
The Presiding Officer ( Mr. Turple ) Aio
thcro any objections'
Mr Cullom I object. ( Democratic laugh
ter. )
Senators Cullom and Aldrlch were trying
to gain recognition , and Mr. Aldrlch was
heard above the tumult and laughter to bay
lie vynnti'il to address the senate.
The presiding officer told him somewhat
tartly ho would recognl7o him lifter he had
recognised the senator from Illinois ( Mr
Cullom )
Mr Cullom Jlcldcd to Mr Aldrlch , who
cald "Mr Pro Ident , In the course of tlio
speech of th senator from Kentucky I asked
the senator the question us to whether they
would be willing to proceed to vote on the
bill and the pending amendments of tlio
finance committee nt 3 o'clock It had no
response on that side of thechamber. . "
"I tried to respond to the bcnator from
Rhode IMand. " said Mr. Lindsay
"I had no response to that Inquiry , which
was a direct nnd easily understood question '
persisted Mr Aldrich "I did off IT for this
Blda of the chamber to take n vote on the hill
ns It came from the house without amend-
mint , 1 leeclvcd no response to that propo
sition I then n'ked If the senators on the
other side were ready to vote on the bill ns
It stood I would suggest that I .lid not usk
It of a democratic caucus I would not glvo
an option of thirty days to unsvvei. ( Laugh
ter ) I have been told since I o&ked that
question , on credible authority , that last
night thu members of the flnunco committee
rcpro entlng that side of the clininbci agreed
to moro than 300 nmendments to the pending
measure "
Mr Ve-st sa'd
"N'AMi : YOt'R AUTHORITY. "
Mr Aldrlch "I think the senator from
Missouri found out the day before ? yesterday
ho was not well advised as to what was going
on on the democratic side of the chamber
IIo may bo ns Ignorant of what Is now going
on , nnd before the hour of 3 o'clock moro
than 100 moro nmcndementi may bo made to
the bill Now I do not Intend to commit
myself or any one else to a bill I Know nolli-
IIIR about. If the senator will state a propo
sition to vote on the house bill nt nn early
hour next week I bollevo that proposition will
lo ) accepted. "
"Will the acceptance of such n proposition
tnxcludo the offering of any amendments by
Iho tlnanco committee ? " asked Senator
.White of California
"Certainly , " replied Mr. Aldrlch.
"Does the senator think that a candid
proposition ? " anked Mr. While.
"I think U U perfectly candid , " replied
Mr. Aldilch
"The vvholb thing seems curious. " per
sisted Mr. White. "Hero It U half past 1
nnd a proposition to vote on the bill at 3
b'clock U made and ho ( Aldrlch ) Is 'called'
ton that proposition that Is a phrase which
perhaps ho will understand ( great laughter )
-and ho has declined to respond ( great
lauKhtvr ) , and now ho proposes to fix on
yome day next week to vote on the bill as
it CAine from the house , without amend
mentn , and ho thinks that a candid propo
sition , , I do not "
"It Is well understood that In the game to
which Iho senator from California refers , "
said Mr. Aldrlch , "a man coulil easily deride
to call a hand the next day alwajs , "
( Laughter )
"Hut a few minutes have transpired , " re
plied Mr. White , "and In view of the
dignified dllatorlness manifested on that
sldo of. the chamber there can be no claim
ot undue expenditure of time on this side. "
TIMR ENOUGH FOR A CAUCUS.
"Sufficient time has transpired to hold n
democratic caucus , " tald Mr Aldrlch.
Mr. Gray remarked that the proposition
of Mr Aldrlch was agreed to by the sen
ator from Tenncrsec ( Mr Harris )
"As the senator from Rhode Island chose
to back out ot It , let him do It like a little
man , " said Mr. Hurrli , desperately. "You
directly proposed to the senator from KPII-
lucky to vote on the bill at 3 o'clock. I
have your luiifuaga here , ( tapping the official
report , which ho had obtained from the of
ficial reporters ) . The very moment the
senator fiom Kentucky took hl.s seat I ad
dressed the chair , was recognized , and ac
cepted , In good faith , the proposition of the
penator from Rhode Island , from which ho
seeks now rather Inglorloilsly to retire. "
( Great applamc ) .
"I made no proposition , " declared Mr.
Aldrlch , "I simply asked a question. ( Dem
ocratic cries of 'Oh , oh' ) , I did not say for
myself or for others on this side of the
chamber lh.it we would accept the measure
My proposition was to take a vote on the
bill as It came from the house * , torn ! I rennw
the proposition "
"As I understand this controversy , " said
Mr Teller , entering the discussion , "the
senator from Rhode Island tendered nn In
quiry to the other side of the chamber
After a consultation they answered the In
quiry No senator on that side of the
chamber dare to assert that the bill , ns It
came from the house , as It came from the
finance committee , Is to be that which Ute
to PASS the senate. "
"We are willing to vote on It , " declared
Mr. Grny -
"Oh1" said Mr Teller , "the senator knows
the tricks of conference committees. He
knows that In conference It can be 'fixed. '
That It tan be made palatable to those on
the democratic tide to whom it is now un
savory. "
Mr. Cullom again rose to address the sen
ate , when Mr. Harris asked wha' had be
come of his rcqucbt for unanimous consent
to accept the proposition of the senator
from Rhode Island.
"I objected , " said Mr. Cullom.
"Oh , " said Mr. HarrlSj In his drawling ,
significant way.
VOORHEES DISPUTES ALDRICH.
Mr. Voorhccs again entered the debate
and declared tint the statement made by the
senator from Rhode Island was not true.
"What statement' " asked Mr. Aldrlch.
"The statement that amendments have
been agreed to on the pending bill , " replied
Mr Voorhecs "Tho efforts here create the
Impression that a new deal Is being made
The senator from Rhode Island taxes the
senator from Missouri with helm ; deb-
tltute of knowledge. The senator from
Rhode Island Is himself a striking example
of a man speaking without any knowledge
of what he is talking nbout. The statement
made by the senator fiom Rhode Island is
v.lthout truth , direct or Implied , "
"I do not know what the t > cnntor means
by 'hnvlng been agreed to , ' " said Mr. Aid-
rich. "That Is a subject which he can put
his own construction on ; that amendments
have been agreed to may or may not bo
true , but that they have been considered In
fie majority of the committee Is true "
' "l ! < at Is wide of the truth ; that Is not
correct , " declared Mr Voorhees
"I will leave It to be decided In the course
of events for the next thirty das , " leplled
Mr. Aldrlch , and rested the case on Ibat
Mr. Cullom was recognized and spoke In
opposition to the bill.
i Ho said th lnltln ! policy. and Jjie
'groTind 'wfirk 'of "tho enlightened unl-
vcrso Is protection. The civilized world
has grown out and away from barbaric free
trnile nnd has developed a very universal
recognition of the protective idea. Govern
ment means protection. Any government
"must maintain Itsqlf and must protect Its
people. The democratic assumption that u
tariff for protection Is unconstitutional Is
In effect an assumption that the constitution
of a country may forbid the enactment of
laws necessary to the very existence of the
government itself. Such a position Is an
absurdity.
"When I remember , however , that this
same distinguished authority at the same
time It declared that protection Is a fraud
so denounced the federal election laws , rec
ommended the repeal of the ta : on state
bank Issues , eulogized the foreign policy of
the democratic party and completed Its
work by nominating the prcsonf. democratic
administration , my admiiatlon for the goods
of that democratic administration is badly
Impaired.
VAGARIES OP THE CHICAGO PLATFORM
"I suppose that It Is often true that a
body of men gathered together may , b ) rea
son of their enthusiasm and by the lack of
scnso of Individual responsibility , commit
e\cesbes and go to extremes both in lan
guage and action which no ono of them ,
acting in his individual capacity , would
think of doing. For the wild and Imprac
tical vagaries which the Chicago convention
of 1S02 formulated Into a platform , some ex
planation like this must be accepted as the
only solution And for this organized
anarchy , to which the country owes Its pres
ent difficulties , It can now only bo said that
much of the time of the average democratic
legislator Is devoted to disavowing his In
dividual responsibility and In proving to his
constituents that although ho Is not a pro
tectionist ho Is In favor of protecting local
Industries In which they am Interested.
"I'rom the Inevitable consequences ot this
crusade ugnliibt business nnd good limes
oven Coxey nnd his followers have mutinied
and rebelled. The outraged people may
find exprebslon for their woes In an unnat
ural and unwise manner , but whatever mis
guided people may have done , or may do
they cnn never , by any accident or design.
Involve the country In even a small part
of the trouble und mischief caused by the
present democratic administration "
CULLOM DENOUNCES THE INCOME TAX
Senator Cullom denounced tlio Income tax
as a sandbagging proposition , and then pro
ceeded to eilttczo In detail the various
schedules of the tariff bill Ho argued
that tlio tariff question should bo taken out
ot politics altogether and made u matter of
mathematical I'elermlnatlon and ileinon-
str.atlcn. "It Is , " ho said , "a business
question , nut , of combe , nce-is-arlly a polit
ical one , as In it Is Involved the great ques
tion of raising revenue for- the support of
the government I do not desire that my
position shall bo mistaken on tljls subjeit
They propose to commit to n commission
of cvperls the laborious tank of working
out the basis upon which an equitable
tariff act can be constructed , leaving to con-
grcax finally the work of enacting this tariff
law. with all tlio facts before It as may be
required In order to secure ! tlio proper
amount o' revenue to adjust wages to labor
without dlaturblng the cipiltj of the general
fcchcmo ot protection. This tariff commis
sion , If properly constructed , would bo able
to avoid the Interminable Incongruities
which give bo much annoyance to the admin
istrative branch of the government.
"Let us , then , In this jcar of grace , build
n monument for all time which will bo nn
honor alike to both political parties Let
uu create nnd vivify n system , ono some
thing llko a system , a plan under which
hy tlinplo methods just duties may bo com
puted and decent wages bo assured to the
people of our country. "
Mr Cullom spoke two hours nnd twenty
minutes and was followed by Mr Dolph , who
gave the fifth Installment of his speech , but
soon sank Into the background to allow Mr.
Mcl'licrson to get Into u controversy with
Senators Vrjo and Aldrlcii.
At 5 25 p m the senate adjourned
After the Incident on the floor. Senator
Aldrlch bald his reason for making a propo
sition for a vote was that ho wanted to
demonstrate that If a vote could bo reached
on the house bill It could not puss " 1

STUART , la. , April 27. General Kelly
announced tonight that he will make a
forced march of forty-one miles to Des
Molncs tomorrow and that he Intends to bo
there Sunday. The army cannot reach the
state capital before 3 or 4 o'clock Sunday
morning and It Is probable that the twenty-
hour march will leave many of the men by
the roadside. The Industrials presented a
solid front when they marched Into Stuart
at 0 o'clock tonight , but not moro than 800
men were In the column , the remaining 400
coming straggling In for hours , on foot , In
wagons , on the railroad track and on the
wagon road. The men were well fed at
Stuart and although tired out arc in better
humor tonight.
RUNNING SHOUT ON HATIONS.
CASCV , la , April 27. During the march
of the Kelly army the rain ceased and the
sky cleared , the day becoming an Ideal one
for the pedestrians. But the commissary
department received the first slight It has
had since Council Bluffs was left and the
men's spirits sank somewhat. At Casey a
good sired gift of provisions was expected ,
with hot coffee and fuel. The provisions ,
however , consisted of a lonely basket of
bread and a solitary pound package iof
coffee. There were no cheers for Kelly and
no songs from his men The town people
gathered , curious but silent , to watch the
army straggle by , and followed to the camp
ground to watch the men take dinner. Kelly
was Incensed at the failure to provide food
and vvcnl through the town without his cus
tomary Jmlles and bows.
During the afternoon General Kelly Issued
the following appeal to Mayor liemls of
Omaha
To Mayor Tlcmls and Citlrens of Omaha *
One moro appeal from the Industrial army.
We are entirely surrounded by Plnkerton
and railroad detectives , who are sparing no
pains to break our movement. Send us
supplies by mil as soon as possible bread ,
meat , coffee. Wo urge you once moro to
stand by us , and hope to make Des Molnes
some time Sunday. Houte Impeded In every
conceivable manner. Transportation by
wagon In most part paid for.
C. T. KELLY , General.
The manifesto of Kelly gave expression
to the sentiment of the men , and threats
against the Plnkertons are becoming hourly
more numerous There was no indication
of an attempt by the Sacramento division
to capture a train during the day , the men
apparently determining to scatter and trust
to bumpers and brakebcams.
ADA1U , la. , April 27. One hundred and
twenty-one Sacramento men TV ere missing
today when Kelly massed his" Industrial
army for the march. The men had asserted
last night that they would walk no further
and , as soon as breakfast was over , they
folded their tents and silently prepared to
steal rides. They said they would not re
join the army at Stuart tonight , bat Kelly
was confident that the seductive Influence
of the commissary would bring them back
MARCHING IN THE RAIN.
The march today was begun under dis
couraging prospects. Rain began falling
soon after dawn , and the wagons that had
been expected to carry the army failed to
materialize. There were scarcely sufficient
teams to haul the baggage and the sick , and
grumbling among the men was loud and
deep. Kelly waited for teams , and then ,
discouraged , ordered the army forward , tell
ing the n.en to take the railroad Instead of
the wagon road , If they wished to. "Dut
do not Interfere with the trains , " he com
manded. "If jou do > ou cannot go further
with me. "
The bugler blew a faint blast and the
companies moved forward. There were no
cheers from the townspeople , no flowers for
the general. The men trumped silently
along the soggy road , and at the first turn
fully 250 of them turned upon the railroad
and began a tie calculation.
The monotony of the start was relieved
by an Interesting one-round mill between
two of the Industrials , who punched one an
other with marked energy and cordiality ,
and who shouted loudly when their com
rades separated them. The eight-mile
tramp to Casey -vas a dismal one and vor )
slow , but a hot meal and coffee revived the
men's courage , and on the remainder of the
trip better time was made.
Kelly spent considerable time today In or
ganizing his base ball team , und expects to
do battle on the diamond when he reaches

TOLUCA , III. , April 27. The miners who
halted for n rest nt Dig Sandy last night
broke camp at 4 a , in. today and arrived
nt Toluca at C a. m with the blare of brass
banJs and drum corps. There were nearly
4,600 of them. As they filed Into town
they were met by the cltl/cns Although
footsore nnd wear ) , they had not lost any
enthusiasm
Most of the colored miners that work
here left for other places last night to avoid
a skirmish , and are not likely to return
until all danger Is last As soon as the
men arrived they assembled on the com
mons near Superlntcndtnt Duggan's house ,
but adjourned again to uwalt ho nrrival
of the nrmy from Streator and Kangley.
A few minutes previous to their arrival
Lieutenant Governor Gill , President A. J.
Crawford nnd Vice President James W.
Murra ) arrived In n special train from
Jollet. A conference took place between th
men nnd Charles J. Devlin In the latter's
private car. The miners wanted Mr. Devlin
to address the miners' commlttcj , but he
declined , saying that he had not Invited
them here and .consequently had no desire
to address them. The meeting was called
to order by Chairman O'Connor of Spring
Valley , and was addressed by Messrs Gill ,
Crawford and Mm ray , who counselled peace
and urged the army to leave , and told all
the Toluca mlncis to decide for themselves.
1'lnally this was agreed upon , and Mr. Dev
lin at once arranged for a special train to
take the army home. It Is the general Im
pression liQre that the Toluca miners will
not return to work. If they do not the
mission of the army is successful.

the militia was unnecessary. He said he
knew that the situation was not as serious
as the sheriff had reported it to be , and
further stated he had every confidence in
