WASHINGTON , April 27. H was not un
til seventeen minutes pist 11 o'clock today
that enough senators wcr6 In their seats
to make up n ( juorum. Mr. Allen endeavored
to call up his Coxcy resolution us unlinlshed
business , but Mr. Ilairls objected stating
there was no such thing as iinllnlbhed busi
ness.
The choir so ruled ,
Mr. Harris' motion to take up the tariff bill
was agreed lo 29 to 10.
Mr. Dolph waived his right to the floor ,
nnd Mr. Lindsay addressed the kciiatc. In
the course of Mr. Lindsay's speech a collo-
( juy occurred , In which Mr. Sherman drew
attention lo the fact that the McKlnlcy bill ,
Instead of raising the duty on Iron , steel und
other metals except tin plate , largely re
duced the duty , and 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 ugiecd lhat the McKlnlcy bill had
reduced the duty on Iron and steel from
the former tariff law and he was awaio that
the nu-iiufacturcrs had attributed the neces
sity for i educing the wages to the reduction
of duties That was not the real cause of
the icductlon of wages , which was to bo
found In the natural desire of manufacturers
to reduce wages without respect to the rates
of duty.
In reply to a question by Mr. Aldrlch as
to whether Senalor Lindsay subscribed lo Ihe
doclrlnn enunciated by Mr. Mills that coffee ,
tea and sugar should bo laxed nnd the duty
on Iron and steel reduced , Mr. Lindsay 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 the
senator from Kentucky kno-vs what the
democratic party wants. " ( Laughter. )
TAKE A VOTE TODAY.
"If you will agree to take a vote on this
bill today you will dud out what the demo
cratic paity wauls , " retorted Mr. Llnd-
tay.
" 1 will agree to take an aye nnd nay vote
on the bill as It came from the house at : i
o'clock , " said Mr. Aldrlch , tluowlng down
the gage.
Mr. Lindsay asked why he did not Include
the proposed amondmentaofwtur' ! finati5eii
committee In this proposition. j
At 1:24 : Mr. Lindsay concluded his speech I I
and Immediately Senators Dolph , Cullom ,
Harris nnd others were on their feet for
recognition.
Mr , Harris was recognized , and , standing
beside his desk with the olllcfal report of
thu colloquy between Senators Aldrlch and
Lindsay In his hand , read the proposition ,
as 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 senate by the finance com
mittee.
Mr. Lindsay had disclaimed any authority
to speak for his party on these propositions ,
and Mr. Aldrlch said ho would llko lo hear
from the senator fiom Tennessee ( Harris ) ,
who had charge of the bill. As Mr. Harris
read the report of the debalo 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 party , I beg to assure the senator
from Rhode Island that so fur as I am con
cerned , 01 so far as I can control Iho ac
tion of the majority of the senate , I will
consent that at 3 o'clock wo will proceed to
vote on Iho amendments of Iho llnance com-
mlttio and then the llnal passage of Iho bill
This con bo done only by unnnlmous con-
Eonl. nnd 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
hoard above the tumult and laughter to say
he vyantcd to address the senate.
The presiding officer told him somewhat
tartly ho would rccognl/o him after he had
recognl/ed the senalor from Illinois ( Mr.
Cullom )
Mr. Cullom yielded lo Mr Aldrlch , who
Bald : "Mr Prc-lilent , In the course of the
speech of tha senator from Kentucky I asked
he Rcnotor the question as to whether they
would be willing to proceed to vote on Iho
bill and Iho pending amendments of the
finance committee at J o'clock It had no
response on that Bldo of thu chamber. "
"I tried to respond to the senator from
Rhode I land , " said Mr. Lindsay
"I had no response to that Inquiry , which
was a direct and easily understood question. "
persisted Mr Aldrich "I did offer for this
Bide of the chamber to take a vote on Ihe bill
ns It came from the house without amend-
nunt. 1 received no rnsponso to that propo
sition. I then u'ked If the senators on the
other sldo wore ready to vote nn Ihe bill as
II stood. I would Biiggcit thai I did not ask
It of a democratic caucus , I would not gl\u
un option of thirty days to answer. ( Laugh
ter ) I have been told since I asked thai
quesllon , on credible authority , that lust
night the members of the finance committee
repro'Qittlni ; that side of the chanibci agreed
to nioro than 300 amendments to the pending
measure "
Mr Vest na'il
"NAME YOUR AUTHORITY. "
Mr Aldrlch "I think the senator from
Missouri found out the day before yesterday
ho was nol we'll advised as to what was going
on on the democratic sldo of Iho chamber.
He may bo as Ignoranl of what Is now going
on , and before the hour of 3 o'clock nioro
than 100 more amcndcmenU may bo made to
the bill. Now I do not Intend to commit
myself or nny one else to a bill I know noth
ing about. If Iho senator will state a propo-
Blllon to vote on the house bill nt nn early
liour next week I believe that proposition will
Io uccjpted. "
"Will the acceptance of such a proposition
hxcludo the offering ot any amendments by
the tlnanco committco ? " asked Senator
AVhlto of California.
"Certainly. " replied Mr. Aldrlch.
"Does the senator think that a candid
proposition ? " asked Mr. White ,
"I think It Is perfectly candid , " replied
Mr. Aldilch.
"Tho wholb thing seems curious , " per-
Haled Mr , White. "Hero It Is half past 1
ml n proposition to votn on the bill at 3
b'clock U made and ho ( Aldrlch ) Is 'called'
ton that proposition that U a phrase which
perhaps ho will understand ( great laughter )
and ho has declined to respond ( great
IttUKlitcr ) , anil now ho proposes to fix on
yomo day next week to % oto on the bill as
U came from the houto , without amend
ments , and he thinks that a candid propo.
sltlot ) . I do nol "
"It Is well understood that In the gnmc to
which thu senator from California refers , "
said Mr. Aldrlch , "a man could easily decide
to call a hand the next day always , "
( Laughter )
"Hut n few minutes have transpired , " re
plied Mr. White , "and In view of the
dignified dllntorlnrs.s manifested on that
sldo of. the chamber there can bo no claim
of undue expenditure of time on this side. "
TIME ENOUGH FOR A CAUCUS.
"Sufficient time has transpired to hold n
democratic caucus , " sold Mr. Aldrlch.
Mr. Gray remarked that the proposition
of Mr. Aldrlch was agreed to by the sen
alor from Tcnnctsce ( Mr. Harris )
"As tha senator from Rhode- Island chose
to hick out ( if It , let him do It like n little
man , " said Mr. Harris , desperately. "You
directly proposed to the senator from Ken
tucky to vote on the bill at 3 o'clock. I
have your liingungo here , ( tapping the ollcnl ! !
report , which ho had obtained from the of
ficial reporters ) . The very moment the
senator fiom Kentucky took his scat I ad
dressed the chair , was recognized , and ac
cepted , In good faith , the proposition of the
senator from Rhode Island , from which ho
seeks now rather Inglorlously to retire. "
( Great applau e ) .
"I made no proposition , " declared Mr
Aldrlch , "I simply asked a question. ( Dem
ocratic ciles of 'Oh , oh' ) , I did not say for
myself or for others on this sldo of Ihe
chamber that we would accept the measure
My proposition was to take a vote on the
bill as U came from the house , timl I renew
the proposition. "
"As I understand this controversy , " said
Mr. Teller , entering the discussion , "the
senator from Rhode Island tendered an In
quiry to the other side of Die chamber
After a consultation they answered the In
quiry No Benator on lhat sldo of the
chamber dare to assert that the bill , as It
came from the house , as It came from the
llnance committee , Is lo be that which Ute
to pass the senate. "
"Wo are willing to vote on It , " declared
Mr. Gray *
"Oh1" said Mr Teller , "the senator knows
the tricks ot conference committees. He
knows that in conference It can be 'fixed. '
That It can be made palatable to those on
Iho democratic sldo to whom It Is now un
savory. "
Mr. Cullom again rose to address the sen
ate , when Mr. Harris asked what had be
come of his request for unanimous consent
to accept the proposition of the senator
from Rhode Island.
"I objected , " said Mr. Cullom.
"Oh. " said Mr. Harris. , In his drawling ,
significant way.
VOORHEES DISPUTES ALDRICH
Mr. Voorhecs again entered the dob-Uc
and declared Unit Iho slatement made by the
senator from Rhode Island was not true.
"What stalcmenf" asked Mr. Aldrlch.
"Tho statement that amendments have
been agreed to on the pending bill , " replied
Mr. Voorhces. "The efforts here create the
Impression that a new deal Is being made
The senalor fiom Rhode Island taxes the
senator from Missouri with belm ; des
titute of knowledge. The senator from
Rhode Island Is himself a striking example
of a man speaking without nny knowledge
of what he Is talking about. The statement
made by the senator fiom Rhode Island Is
without truth , direct or implied. "
"I do not know what the senalor means
by 'having 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 be
true , but that they have been considered in
Ihe majority of Ihe committee Is true "
"That Is wide of the truth ; that Is not
coi reel , " declared Mr Voorhees.
" 1 will leave It to be decided In Ihe course
of events for the next thirty days , " replied
Mr. Aldrlch , and rested the case on that
Mr. Cullom was recognised and spoke In
opposition to the bill.
nllo jsald th . , . ; iiiltlal Pol'pyv ' and 4he
' 'groTind -\flrlc"of the cffllghtencd unl-
verso Is protection. The civilized world
has grown out and away from barbaric free
trade nnd has developed a very universal
recognition of the protective idea. Govern
ment means protection.ny government
'must maintain Itsqlf and must protect Its
people. The democratic assumption that a
tariff for protection Is unconstitutional Is
In effect an assumption that the constitution
of n country may forbid tre enactment of
laws necessary to the very exlslcnce of Iho
government Ilself. 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 tax on state
bank Issues , eulogized Ihe foreign policy of
the democratic party and completed Its
work by nominating the present democratic
administration , my aamliatlon for the goods
of thai democratic administration Is sadly
Impaired.
VAGARIES OF THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.
"I suppose that It Is often true that a
body of men gathered together may , by rea
son of their enthusiasm and by the lack of
sense of Individual responsibility , commit
excesses and go to extremes both In lan
guage and action which no one of them ,
acting In his Individual capacity , would
think of doing. For the wild and Imprac
tical vagaries which the Chicago convention
of 1892 formulated Into a platform , some ex
planation like this must be accepted as the
only solution. And for this orginlzed
anarchy , to which the country owes Us pres
ent dllllcultles , It can now only be said thai
much of Iho time of Iho average democratic
legislator Is devoted to disavowing his In-
divldml responsibility and In proving to his
constituents thut although ho Is not a pro
tectionist he is In favor of protecting local
Industries In which tlicy urn Interested.
"From the Inovllable consequences of Ihls
crusade ugnlnst business and good times
even Coxey and his followers have mutinied
and rebelled. The outraged people may
flinl expression for their woes In an unnat
ural and unwise manner , but whatever mis
guided people may have done , or may do ,
they can never , by any accldenl or design ,
Involve the country In oven a small part
of the trouble nnd mischief caused by the
present democratic administration "
CULLOM DENOUNCES THE INCOME TAX
Senator Cullom denounced the Income tux
as a sandbagging proposition , and then pro
ceeded to ciltlozo In detail the various
schedules of the tariff bill Ho argued
that the tariff question should be taken out
of politics altogether and made u matter of
mathematical determination and demon
stration. "It Is. " ho said , "a business
question , mil , of course , necessarily a polit
ical one , as In ll Is involved Ihe greal ques
tion of raising revenue for the support of
the government I do not deslio that my
position shall ba mistaken on tljls subject.
They propose to commit to a commission
of experts the laborious task of working
out Iho basis upon which an equitable
tariff act can be constructed , leaving to congress -
gress finally tlio work of enacting this tariff
law , with all Iho facts before ll as may be
required In order lo secure the pioper
amount o' revenue to adjust wages to labor
without disturbing Iho equity of tins gcnnral
scheme of protection. This tariff commis
sion , If properly constructed , would bo able
to avoid the Interminable Incongruities
which give so much annoyance to the admin
istrative branch of the government.
"Let us , then , In this year of grace , build
n monument for all time which will be un
honor alike to both political parties. Let
us create and \lvlfy a system , one some
thing Ilka a system , a plan under which
by simple methods just duties may bo com
puted and decent wages bo assured to the
people of our country "
Mr Cullom spoke two hours and twenty
minutes and was followed by Mr Dolph , who
gave the ( Ifth Installment of his speech , but
soon sank Into the background to allow Mr.
Mcl'licruon to get Into a controversy with
Senators Fryo and Aldrlch.
At G 25 p. m. the senate adjourned.
After the Incident on the floor , Senator
Aldrlch said hi * reason for making a propo
sition for u vote was that ho wanted to
demonstrate that If a vote could bo reached
on the house bill It could not puus. "I
mndo the proposition , " ho added , "will : a
view of demonstrating by an actual tesi nn

STUART , Ia.r April 27. General Kelly
announced tonight that he will make n
forced march of forty-one miles to DCS
Molnes 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
Die roadside. The Industrials presented n
solid fronl when Ihey marched Inlo Sluart
at G o'clock tonight , but not more limn 800
men were In ihe column , the remaining 400
coming slraggllng 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 belter
humor tonight.
RUNNING SHORT ON RATIONS.
CASEY , la , April 27. During thu march
of the Kelly army the rain ceased and the
sky cleat od , Ihe 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 , conslsfpd of a lonely basket of
bread and a solitary pound package pf
coffee. There were no cheers for Kelly and
no songs from his men The town people
gathered , curious but silent , lo watch the
army slruggle by , and followed lo Iho camp
ground lo walch Ihe men take dinner. Kelly
was Incensed at the failure to provide food
and went through the town without his cus
tomary a"mlles an ! bows.
During the afternoon General Kelly Issued
the following appeal lo Mayor Bcmls of
Omaha :
To Mayor Dcmls and CItlrons of Omaha *
Quo more appeal from Ihu Industrial army.
We are entirely surrounded by Plnkcrton
and railroad detectives , who are sparing no
pains to break our movement. Send us
supplies by rail as soon as possible bread ,
meat , coffee. We urge you once more to
stand by us , and hope lo make DCS Molnes
some time Sunday. Route Impeded In every
conceivable manner. Transportation by
wagon In most part paid for.
C. T. KELLY , General.
The manifesto of Kelly gave expression
lo Ihe sentiment of the men , and Ihreats
against Ihe Plnkerlons are becoming hourly
more numerous. There was no Indlcallon
of an attempt by the Sacramento division
to capture a Iraln during Ihe day , Iho men
apparently determining to scatter and trusl
lo bumpers and brakebeams.
ADAIR , la. , April 27. One hundred and
twenty-one Sacramento men were missing
today when Kelly massed his * Industrial
army for the march. The men had asserted
last night lhat they would walk no further
and , as soon as brcakfasl was over , Ihey
folded their tents and silently prepared to
steal rides. They said they would not re
join the army at Stuart tonlghl , btft Kelly
was confident that the seductive Influence
of the commissary would bring them back ,
MARCHING IN TUG RAIN.
The march toJ-iy was begun under dis
couraging prospects. Rain began falling
soon after da.r < : , and the wagons that had
been expected to carry the army failed to
materialize. There were scarcely sufllclent
teams lo I1 , ul the baggage and the sick , and
grumbling among the men was loud and
deep. Kelly walled for teams , and then ,
discouraged , ordered the army forward , tell
ing the men to take the railroad Instead of
Ihe wagon road , If Ihey wished lo. "Bui
do not Inlcrfero wllh the trains , " he com
manded. "If jou do you cannot go further
with me. "
The bugler blow a faint blast and the
companies moved forward. There were no
cheers from the townspeople , no flowers for
the general. The men tramped silently
along the soggy road , and at the first turn
fully 250 of Ihem lurned upon Iho railroad
and began a Ho calculation.
The monotony of the start was relieved
by an Interesting one-round mill between
two of Ihe Induslrlals , who punched one an
other with marked energy and cordiality ,
and who shouted loudly when their com
rades separated Ihem. The clght-mllo
tramp to Casey was a dismal one and very
slow , but a hot meal and coffee revived the
men's courage , and on the remainder of the
Irlp boiler lime was made.
Kelly spent considerable time today In or
ganizing his base ball learn , and expects to
do battle on the diamond when he reaches
DCS Molnes. A camp aitlst Is preparing a
banner for the club bearing Iho Inscription ,
"Indiiblrlal Nine Slide , Kelly , Slide ! On
to Washington ! "

to quit work. Three men were wounded
before the deputies could reach the scene
of the trouble , the fighting lasting not more
than two minutes. Several pistols wcro

THOUGHT TO AVOID TROUBLE.
TOLUCA , III. , April 27. The miners who
halted for 'a rust nt Big Sandy last night
broke camp at 4 n. m today and arrived
at Toluca at G a. m. with the blare of brass
banJs and drum corps. There were nearly
4,500 of them. As they filed Inlo town
they were met by the cltbens. Although
footsore and weary , they had not lost any
enthusiasm.
Most of the colored miners that work
here left for other places last night to avoid
n skirmish , and arc not likely to return
until all danger Is past. As soon as the
men arrived Ihey assembled on the com
mons near Supcrlntcndtnt Duggan's house ,
but adjourned again to await Ihe arrival
of ihe army from Slrcator and Kangley.
A few minutes previous to their arrival
Lieutenant Governor Gill , President A. J.
Crawford nnd Vice President James W.
Murray arrived In a special train from
Jolict. A conference took place between the
men and Charles J. Devlin In the Kilter's
private car. The miners wanted Mr. Devlin
to address the miners' committee , but he
declined , saying that he had not Invited
them here and .consccjuently had no desire
to address , them. The meeting was called
to order by Chairman O'Connor of Spring
Valley , and was addressed by Messrs. GUI ,
Crawford and Mm ray , who counselled peace
and urged the army to leave , and told all
the Toluca mlneis to decide for themselves.
Finally this A as agreed upon , and Mr. Dev
lin at once arranged for a special train to
taKe the army home. It Is the general Im
pression hqre that the Toluca miners will
not return to work. If they do not the
mission of the army Is successful.
GOVERNOR GILL TALKS.
"When Lieutenant Governor GHI-tias Intro
duced to the assemblage of 7,000 miners he
opened his address by reading telegrams he
had received from Sheriff Lenz , and also the
replies he had sent In answer to them , giv
ing It as his opinion that the ordering out of
the militia wai unnecessary. He said he
knew that the situation was not as serious
as the sheriff had reported It to be , and
further staled he had every confidence In
the miners not making a hostile demonstra
tion. Continuing , ho said"You arc all well
aware of my mission here. I came here
personally to view Ihe sltuallon and have
found you as I thought you were , peaceably
assembled nnd not of a disposition to de
stroy property or take life , as I was Informed
by the sheriff of this county in dispatches
lasl night. I have come here today to de
clare peace and lo plead with you not to
attempt any violence or destruction of prop
erty.
"When I refused to send the Elate troops I
had every confidence thai you would not , and
now I hope yon will row aid my friendly feelIng -
Ing toward you by upholding the dignity and
Institutions of the slale by quietly going
home and allowing the miners In this place
to setlle Ihelr own affairs In a way that Is
acceptable to them , and you all know what
that Is.

were In a very congenial mood when they
learned they were not lo march home. The
people of this city felt much relieved after

ST. PAUL , April 27. The strike Is on at
Inst In the Twin Cities. The American
Hallway union Ihls nftcrnoon called out nil
Its men In the employ of the Great Northern
road In the two cities. 'iMegriuns Wo.ro
sent to all unions on the line to stand by
their guns.
All efforts to settle the strike failed and
President Dubs of the American Hallway
union Issued orders for a strike on all the
Minnesota divisions of the Great Northern.
This completes the strike from St. Paul to
the coist.
The shopmen ot the Great Northern In
this city huvo all obeyed the order to strlku
and everylhlng Is at a standstill.
President Hill again proposed his plan ot
arbitration at thu Inst confeicnco between
the men's committco and the road , but It
was refused.
Contrary to expectations the Great North
ern olllclals were again In conference with
the commllteo of the American Hallway
union this morning. President Debs , Vlco
President Howard and tne or two othcis
called on President HII\ end asked If they
could resume their conference with him Ilo
piomptly acquiesced. Deforo going Into
conference 1'iesldent Debs told n icporter
lhat the men hud not altered their demands
In the slightest degree , nor did they Intend
to do so. Just what the men expected to
gain by the conference was not clear , but
Air. Hill hud left the way open for n re

the men demanding tholr old wage schudulu
while .Mr. Hill asked foi submission to arbl-
irnllon.
The conference , however , did not last a
great while , , and at Its conclusion the me'f ? *
resumed their own meeting In Libor hall.
Neither the men nu , | thu ofllcluls would glvo
any Information as tifthe object of the
conference nor of Its results , except that
Vlco President Clough told a reporter that
"wo know no moro ihan wo did ycslerday
about the men's position In regard to arbi
tration. " From all that could bo gathered
It Is thought that the men , were revising
the schedules In their previous demand and
were after Itddltlonal Information fiom the
railway before submitting n revised prop
osition.
At 8 o'clock today the company started a
fully equipped passenger train , which they
propose to send through to Great Falls.
Vlco President Clough sold this train car
ried no deputies , but It Is believed a force
will bo picked up somewhere along the line.
When asked for a statement of the sltuii-
llon afler the strike was declared on the en
tire Northern system today , Piesldcnt Debs
of the railway union said "Tho confeienco
with Mr Hill was can led on pleasantly , but
without the effect of bringing them any
closer together. As to the claims he has
enough men to run the road , I believe Mr.
Hill has been mlslnfoimcd by his own friends ,
who overestimated their number ! . Slrlct
orders have been Issued that all strikers
along the line stay at their homes and re
frain fiom liny Interference with the trains
which the company may attempt to move.
I don't anticipate the strike will extend lethe
the Northern Pacific , for thu present at
least. "
President Hill was called on Immediately
after the ordui for a general stillco hud been
Issued , nnd stated he hud very little addi
tional la say. The company , ho said , pro
posed to operate Ita load Independent of Iho
American Hallway union. "We do not be-
llcvu , " he suld , "this committee represents
the main body of men. In a committee of
forty-six they huvo only two engineers und
three firemen , and theie Is n very laige portion
tion of the roud totally unrepresented "
Tonight everything Is closed In these two
cities and along the line of the road. The
brotherhood , although not actively joining
the strikers , seemed disinclined lo work
with the nonunion men and feaied the pos
sible dangers of green men on the switches.
