WASHINGTON BUREAU OP THE BEE ,
1407 F Street , N. W. ,
WASHINOTON , April 30.
Sincere sorrow of the most heartfelt nature -
turo pervades the hearts and homes of all
Iowa men In Washington on account of the
sudden termination of the active career ot
Prank Hatton. No man from the * Hawkeye
stnto has had so many sincere , warm friends
In this city for many years , except the late
General Bulknap , whom everybody loved and
respected , U Is a singular fact , commented
upon by many , that both of these distin
guished nons of Iowa died , as also the- late
Associate Justice Samuel Miller of Iowa , by
strokes of paralynls. General Belknap died
nlono In his rooms on Sunday night , and
WQK not discovered until the following Mon
day morning , Justice Miller fell In the
street within half a block , ot his homo.
Frank Hatton was stricken In his editorial
room , but managed , by a supreme effort , to
call through a speaking tube for aid before
ho fell helpless beside his table.
There never lived a truer friend than
Frank Hatton. There never lived a manlier
foe. Many a heart will lament him , and
his Iowa friends will often sigh for the
sound of the volco which Is stilled , for the
clasp of his vanished hand.
FOR THE NIODRARA BRIDGE.
Representative Molklejohn today called up
bis bill authorizing the reconstruction of
the brldgo across the Nlobrara river at
Nlobrara , which was partially destroyed by
Ice a year ago. Ho asked unanimous con
cent for Its consideration , which was given ,
and the bill was passed , carrying nn appro
priation of ? 7,000. This Is the first measure
passed for Nebraska during this session
which has carried an appropriation.
Representative Mercer had qulto a compli
ment paid him on last Saturday. There Is
now a vacancy on the committee on the
District of Columbia , and some of Mr. Mer
cer's friends on the democratic sldo went to
the speaker , asking that ho bo appointed to
the vacancy. Speaker Crisp said this would
bo Impossible , because Mr. Mercer is already
a member ot one Important committee , that
of public buildings and grounds. The speaker ,
however , said ho would offer Mr. Mercer his
choice of the two committees. This was an
unusual favor for the speaker to bestow upon
him , because ho Is a republican and a now
member in the house. Air. Mercer has de
cided to remain a member of the committee
on public buildings and grounds.
Mr. Kern's bill for a rcsurvey of
the counties of Grant and Hooker
1 was rsported favorably today. He
would have succeeded In passing It but for
nn objection Interposed by Mr. Enloe of Ten
nessee , who says hs will hereafter object to
all unanimous consent legislation.
Minister to Austria Judge Bartlett Trlpp
of Yankton was at the capltol today and was
Introduced to several members by Mr. Plck-
lor. Mr. Pickler appeared before the house
commltteo on Indian affairs this morning and
persuaded It to Include In the Indian appro
priation bill provisions for a general superin
tendent of Indian schools , which the committee -
too bad heretofore Intended to dispense * with
In the bill.
NEBRASKA LOCAL MATTERS.
Mr. Halnor this morning appeared before
the subcommittee of the house committee
on military affairs In behalf of a bill for the
relief ot William Henry Johnson of Ceresco.
The subcommittee will report the bill favor
ably to the full committee.
Senator Mandorson today offered In the
senate a proposed amendment to the sundry
civil appropriation bill. The amendment
will authorize the secretary of the Interior
to rovlso and adjust the sales of lands In the
late reservation of the confederated Otoe and
Missouri tribes of Indians In the states of
Nebraska and Kansas , as by the act of congress -
gross approved March 3 , 1893.
The senator also presented a memorial of
officers and stockholders of Nebraska loan
and building associations of Omaha protest
ing against the adoption of the clause In the
Wilson bill proposing to tax quarterly In
comes of mutual loan and building asso
ciations.
The president Is expected to make pn ap
pointment In the matter of the receiver of
the land office at McCook within a short
tlmo. This appointment will undoubtedly go
to either Spearman of McCook or Patrick
Gibbons of Orleans. Spearman Is expected
to bo In Washington within a few days , and
whtlo here ho will look after his claims for
the office.
Minister Bartlett Trlpp loft the city this
evening for his homo In Y.inkton. Belore
leaving ho stated to The Dee correspondent
that It was an absolute certainty tl'at the
hung-up South Dakota nominations would
all bo confirmed. He thought the posti.lnce

Turner , and would later take i.lmllar action
In the case of Mr , Tlnsloy.

WASHINGTON , April 30. Hut two months
remain before the new fiscal year begins ;
yet not ono of the fourteen annual appro
priation bills have .passed both houses and
boon sent to the president for his approval.
There Is , however , nothing extraordinary In
this as the consideration of the appropria
tion bills U always delayed for a longer
period In the IIrat regular session ot a con
gress than in the second or short session
when an adjournment on March I Is neces
sitated by the constitutional limitation. The
cause of the delay Is found partly In the fact
. that during the long session , legislation In
"keeping with party promises or party policy
Is brought to thu front while In the short
session little more than-the passage of the
appropriation bills Is attempted.
Chairman Saycrs of the homo committee
on appropriations &iys that the work on the
appropriation bllU Is further advanced this
year than It was at the same tlmo two years
ago. The house , ha says , has passed seven
ot the fourteen bills making appropriations
for the fiscal year lsat-93 , whereas on May
1 , two years ago , but six appropriation bills
had been acted on by the body In which
they must by law originate. Two years ago
not a single ono ot the fourteen btlU had
become a jaw at the beginning of the fiscal
year for which they made appropriations
and a Jilnt resolution had to bo passed ex
tending the provisions of the then existing
laws for n period up to which the now ap
propriations were available. With the pros
pect of a lengthy tariff dfrbate In the sonata
the expectation Is that similar action will
have to bo taken , at least with respect to
some of the appropriations , during the pres
ent session. The following statement shows
the legislative condition of each of tlio ap
propriation bills awaiting action In the senate -
. ate ; passed by the house ami under consid
eration ! n the senate committee on appro
priations ; Pensions , fortifications , military
, academy , postolllce , sundry civil , District of
Columbia anil consular and diplomatic bills.
I rending In and reported to the house : The
army , the navy and the river and harbor
bills. Agreed on by the house commltteo
and ready to be repotted : The Indian and
, the agricultural bills. The legislative and
1 A the deficiency appropriation bills have not
, 'yot boon completed by the house commit-
too having tlielr preparation In charge. The
former will not bo roadjr In several weeks ,
whllo the preparation of the latter Is always
delayed for the purpoao ot Including , as for
as may bo deemed dcilrablc , all the de
ficiencies that may have occurred during the
yonr , No lens than four urgent deficiency
bills have been passed during the present
RMslon of congrcsa and received the execu
tive sanction.

WASHINOTON , April 30. Special Agent
Joseph D. Weeks of the United States geodetic
detic survsy has made a report concerning
the production of colco In the Appalatchlan
region during IS93 , The total production
was 9,160,310 chert tons , against 12.000,820
tons for 1892. The largo reduction Is due
to the depression In the blast furnace In
dustry. The only section of the United
States In which there was a material In-
creasovln coke production was the Flat Top
district In West Virginia. The total amount
produced thcro during the year was ' 151,321
tons , against 355 , CSC In 1892. Large quan
tities , of the coke from this field were
shipped to Chicago and points' ' on the Ohio
river , which more than made up the loss of
demand from markets previously used by
that coke region. Pennsylvania retains first
rank ns a coke state , Alabama second , whllo
Illinois gave the smallest product. The high
est value for the product Is reported In
Montana at $9 a ton and the lowest In Qeor-
gla at $1.60 a ton. The yield of coal In
coke was C3 % per cent , and the amount
used In the manufacture of coke was 14,895-
845 short tons. The aggregate production of
cokc-mado pig Iron was 5. 390,181 tons ,
against fi.822.2C6 for the previous year , and
of mixed anthracite and coke pig Iron , 1,317-
C29 tons , against 1,797,113 tons for 1892. The
number ot coke manufacturing establishments
was 257 , and the ovens used numbered 44,189 ,
whllo 717 were In course of construction.
The production for 1893 by states was as
follows : Alabama , 1,108.085 tons , valued at
$2.018,632 ; Colorado , 362,080 , value $1,137,488 ;

Senator Mcl'ht'Mon Vigorously Kesents the
I.uiiKUiiKO of the Now York Lciulor.
WASHINGTON , April 30. ( Special Tele
gram to The Dee. ) Senator Hill , according
to the Washington Times , has had his face
slapped. The paper In Its Issue today tells
the story this way : "Senator Hill had his
face slapped. Senator MoPherson did the
slapping. The story has been scrupulously
guarded , but how In the world It has been
kept out of the public press for some three
weeks or moro Is a mystery. The affair
occurred in tbo room of the committee on
immigration , of which both senators are
members. I have been unable to learn the
full particulars of the case , but It seems that
the august leader of New York democracy
undertook to chatcchlzo the lengthy Solon
from Mosquito land and In so doing employed
the caustic criticism and biting porslflago
of which ho is the master. The latter re
sented Senator Hill's attitude and manner ,
and a heated wordy colloquy ensued , which
culminated In Senator McPherson slapping
Hill's faco. It was not n stralght-frotn-the-
shoulder Corbett biff , nor was It a gentle love
tap. It caused the chaste cheek of the re
cipient to take on a ruddy glow. It must
have stung , for the man who gave It Is long
armed and wiry , and I am told was fighting
mad and ready to scrap. Before ho- could
follow up this preliminary , however , the col
leagues of the belligerents Interfered and
hustled Senator McPherson off Into the hall
to cool off.
"Tho funny part of the affair lies In a
little side denouement. Aa a matter ot course
the Now York senator felt grossly Insulted ,
but for political and other obvious reasons
hesitated before taking the usual course and
demanding satisfaction by trial of arms or
otherwise , so ho called upon his friend , Joe
Blackburn , In the tatter's committee room ,
and after relating the circumstance , said :
" 'Now , Blackburn , what would you do In
this case ? Give mo your advice'
" 'What would I do ? ' said the Kentucklan
with force , 'What did you do ? I would have
done It then and there ; It's too late now to
do anything. ' " _

At 12:20 : the house wont Into committee

1'roKrcM Mtuli ! With the
Tariff Meaitiro.
WASHINOTON , April 30. Senator Harris ,
who Is In charge of ( ho tariff bill , lost
patience today at the way In which progress
was Impeded by Senator Halo In the mornIng -
Ing hour. As on several preceding days , Mr.
Halo objected to giving way for special
measures In the morning. Finally , Mr. Har
ris abruptly asked that the senate proceed
with the consideration of the tariff bill.
Mr. Wolcott Interposed n question as to
whether the committee now Intended to re
port amendments which would change the
whole scope and character of the bill. Ho
had understood Mr. Harris that the changes
were to bo made , and Mr. Voorhces to
deny It.
This gentle prod , however , did not force
the hand of the Tennessee senator , who said
ho could not say exactly what amendments
were to bo proposed.
Mr. Aldrlch said It was due to the sonoto
and the country that they should know what
bill was to bo considered.
"Houso bill 4,864 , " Interjected Mr. Harris ,
sharply.
"Yes , " replied Mr. Aldrlch , "with the
amendments , but when are they to be sub
mitted ? "
"When wo get ready , " said Mr. Gray , from
his scat.
Mr. Hill submitted nn observation or two
which did not seem to please his democratic
colleagues. The senator from Rhode Island
( Aldrlch ) , ho said , appeared disturbed about
anticipated amendments. It occurred to
him , ho said , that Inasmuch as the tariff
bill had passed from the Jurisdiction of the
finance committee , amendments reported
from that committee would not bo entitled
to any more consideration than Individual
amendments , and would have no moro par
liamentary privilege.
ALDRICH THINKS IT STRANGE.
Mr. Aldrlch
admitted this
was true In a
parliamentary sense , but perhaps might not
bo true of this committee. Then , taking a
paper from his desk , containing the Asso
ciated press Interview with Secretary Car
lisle , printed in the morning papers , he
said ho thought It a strange coincidence
that the executive officers of the government
seemed always In possession of advanced In
formation regarding the progress of tariff
reform. President Cleveland , in his mes
sage , told the country In advance what the
Wilson bill was to contain , and now Carlisle
came forward with this advance Information
about the harmonizing of democratic dis
cord Information , ho volunteered , which
was In conflict with the recent statement of
the chairman of the finance committee. Mr.
Vest raised the point of order that news
paper Interviews could not bo dragged Into
the senate chamber , but Vlco President Ste
venson ruled the chair was helpless under
the rules to direct the course ot any sen
ator In debate. Dut there was n means of
stopping matters temporarily. The debate
had been proceeding by unanimous consent ,
and Mr. Allen of Nebraska at this point
suddenly throw "senatorial courtesy" to the
winds and demanded the regular order. The
tariff bill was then laid before the senate.
Mr. Aldrlch wanted to continue his com
ments on the Carlisle Interview. Then came
a controversy as to Mr. Dolph's right to
yield to Mr. Quay and Mr. Quay's right to
transfer the privilege to Mr. Aldrlch. It
ended In Mr. Aldrlch having the floor and
ho renewed his comments on the Carlisle In
terview. In reply to a remark Mr. Vest
stated that Mr. Aldrlch had been falsely
Informed concerning the proposed amend
ments to the tariff bill , and If these state
ments were repeated it must bo on his own
responsibility.
ALDHICH ACCEPTS VEST'S CHALLENGE.
Mr. Aldrlch accepted the challenge and
rose with the statement on his lips that he
was "Informed and believed that amend
ments had been added to the bill since It
had boon reported to the senate , as ho had
previously stated. " He asserted the amend
ments were In print , and said It was his
understanding that they were to be sub
mitted to the senate shortly. They were , he
was certain from what ho had heard , of a
nature to completely change the character
of the bill * As a result of this condition ot
affairs , the senate was no nearer the final
consideration of the bill than It was three
months ago , when the bill came from the
house.
Mr. Mills followed in a brief , sharp speech ,
characterizing the proceedings of the day as
pyrotechnlcal on the part of the republicans ,
whllo those last Thursday were of the na
ture of a military move in order to determine
the strength of the democratic forces. Mr.
Aldrlch , when ho asserted there were 300
amendments prepared and ready to bo of
fered , displayed a greater knowledge of what
was going on In the democratic sldo ot the
chamber than he ( Mills ) possessed and sug
gested that the Rhode Island senator must
have an underground connection with the
democratic side of the senate.
"But suppose there are 300 or 3,000 , " ho
continued , "I know not how many there are ,
but bo the number what It may , It they do
not moot my approval , I shall not vote for
them. Every senator has the some right to
reject them. "
Mr. Palmer remarked that It was not nec
essary or expected that a bill should bo per
fected In committee ; as for himself ho had
not given a power of attorney to any one.
Mr. Aldrlch Not to the secretary of the
treasury ?
Mr. Palmer Not to the secretary of the
treasury , though I do not know what the
practice of the republican senators was when
there was a republican secretary of the
treasury.
VOOUHGES REPLIES TO SHERMAN.
Mr. Voorhces , slightly palo and not qulto
steady In his moves , from recent illness ,
took the floor tor the purpose of replying to
the special speech made by Senator Sher
man last Saturday and quoted a long para
graph from the 'Ohio senator's speech , In
which ho said that the finance committee
had not had an opportunity to consider the
pending tariff bill In the usual way. Ho
took especial exception to a sentence in Mr.
Sherman's speech reading : "This bill has
never been considered by the finance com
mittee. " Ho asserted that the tariff bill had
been reported to the full finance committee
on March 8 and had not been reported by the
committed to the senate until March 20.
Senator Sherman , In reply , said the bill
was never rwul in detail to permit changes.
If It had been and votes had been taken amore
moro satisfactory measure might have been
presented.
Senator Harris Interjected a question. Ho
wanted to know If Mr. Sherman and the
other republican members of the committee
had net had opportunity to offer amendments
In committee ,
"Not the usual opportunity , " replied Mr.
Sherman. "It was Idle to rlo ( to when the
six democratic membqrjji had agreed on
amendments and they hail been submitted to
the democratic caucus. " ' ' " '
Mr. Harris-Tho senotdr says he did not
have the usual opportunity , I want him to
answer distinctly and Ocux > It ho cliousp to
deny , explicitly It he Urn not have the same
opportunity the dsmoVSntUc senators had
when the McKlnlcy bllbsrna before the com
mittee ? j ,
DEMOCRATS FIXED , TUB HILL FIRST.
Mr. Sherman repeated , { hat there was no
opportunity for connlderaflon until ( ho demo
cratic majority had agreed upon the changes.
Mr. Morrlll made a 'brief statement con
firmatory of what Senator Sherman had said ,
after which Senator Harris , taking the floor
for n moment , said , with much emphasis ;
"If the senator from Ohio and the senator
from Vermont dcslro to bo understood as
asserting that the republicans were not per
mitted to shape the bill In committee they
arc within the limits of th < J exact truth , and
they are within the limits when they Infer
that they will not bo allowed to shape It. "
Mr. Sherman That's all right.
Mr. Harris Of course It Is nil right. "Rut
If they say thsy were not permitted an op
portunity to offer amendments , they do nn
Injustice to tlicmsolvoa and a gross Injustice
to other members of the committee.
INCOME TAX WILL STAY.
Mr. Voorhees Insisted that the record
showed that the bill had been considered In
every detail from end to end , and that the
minority had omplo opportunity to offer
amendments. Ho called particular attention
to Mr. Aldrlch'a motion , made In the com
mittee , to strike out the Income tax feature.
"I desire to say right hero , " said ho , com
menting on this motion , "no matter what
rumors may bo floating In the air , the Income -
como tax will stay In this bill. "
Messrs. Allison , Teller and Hnwluy then
took a hand In the discussion , whllo Mr. Halo
returned to the Carllslo Interview , declaring
that It bore all the earmarks of authenticity.
Then Mr. Palmer took" turn and Mr. Carey
and Chandler Joined the colloquy , which Mr.
Harris vainly endeavored to bring to a close.
A few minutes afterward an incident oc
curred which created a profound sensation.
All the democrats had been more or less
Irritated by the prodding from the other
side , the feeling being directed principally
against Mr. Aldrlch , who was maneuvering
the opposition.
TURPIE ASSAILS ALDRICH.
Mr. Turplo , who got the floor when Mr.
Palmer sat down , made a direct assault on
Mr. Aldrlch , the like of which has not been
heard in the senate chamber for years. Ho
declared that three monstrous untruths had
characterized the opposition , three gross ,
palpable lies of inconceivable mendacity.
The first of those untruths was that a new
bill was being prepared by the secretary of
the treasury. The second that three or 300
amendments ( It did not matter which ) were
to bo presented , and the third was that the
bill reported from the finance committee
was not the bill to bo passed. All these as
sertions had been categorically denied by
four democratic members of the finance com
mittee. "And yet , " continued Mr. Turple ,
raising his hand aloft and stretching It
towards Mr. Aldrlch , "the senator from
Rhode Island conies In hero and says ho
believes they are true. There could bo no
such an Issue of veracity. I pro-
tor to bellove and I do believe the
senators on this side , and I disbelieve the
senators No , I will not say sen
ators I disbelieve the diminutive unit
of the other sldo who assert to the con
trary. Who Is the authority of these re
ports that are now being circulated hero and
In the newspaper press ; who claims the
paternity ? The senator from Rhode Island.
I recollect the predecessor of the honorable
senator from Rhode Island , " ho continued
with biting and venomous Irony , referring
to the Senator Aldrlch of 1890 , " as a differ
ent Individual from thoJJenator Aldrlch of
today , but oven ho could not have then been
the author of all these untruths. He might
have been the author of. ono , but three would
have driven him from the field. Ho had
been a drug clerk and was familiar with
that line of business 'and other lines as a
wholesale grocer. We who were hero then
will never forget the , writhing of his dis
tinguished countenance , his enormous devel
opment of cheek that extended from ear to
ear and from chin to forehead. Wo will
never forget his auricular appendages , that
scraped the dome of the capltol. How can
the present senator hope to rival his pre
decessor In the hatred of-truth and the love
of falsehood that has always characterized
the cheats of protection ? . '
ALDRICH REPLIES CALMLY.
When Mr. Turple sat down there was a
hush. Everyone was amazed at the personal
character of the attack upon Mr. Aldrlch.
Then all eyes wore turned upon the senator
from Rhode Island. He rose slowly. "In
the position the senator from Indiana now
takes , " ho said , slowly and deliberately ,
"ho speaks for no one but himself. Under
other circumstances and conditions I do not
bellevo ho would have made the speech ho
has made. "
Mr. Aldrlch took his seat. The Incident
closed without another word and Mr. Quay
took the floor and resumed the prepared
