WASHINGTON , May 12. Only four tcnn-
tors wcro In the senate chamber when the
Ben.ito met at 11 o'clock nnd Senator Harris ,
vho was temporarily In the chair , Instructed
the clerk to call the roll. The bells brought
twenty-eight senators Into the chamber-
fifteen less than quorum and steps were
at once taken to secure the attendance ot
nb.icmteC9. Si-arch of the corridors and co.U
rooms of the capltol wan made , but 11 was
twenty-live minutes before enough absentees
could be found to make up the quorum.
Mr. Dnlph made a motion to adjourn , but
withdrew It upon the suggestion of Mr.
Chandler that such a motion violated the
agreement entered Into just before adjourn
ment last night by which It was decided
tn take Up the tariff bill at 11 o'clock cacn
day. Some routine business preceded the
resumption of the tariff debate. A bill
panned to pay Charles T. Hiisscll , late consul
Iti Liverpool , $3,100 In remuneration nf
moneys pa hi by him In providing for
destitute American sailors.
A bill was passed to place Major General
George S , Green on the retired list of the
regular army an first lieutenant. This was
the rank held by General Green when he re-
Blgned from the army In 1870.
At 12 o'clock the tariff bill was taken up ,
the pending question being on the amend
ment to Increase the duty on tonnle acid or
tannin from 35 to 75 cents per pound. The
republicans , In opposing the 75 cents duty ,
got more than they bargained for , as .Mi.
Jones offered today to substitute. CO for 75
cents.
Mr. Mandcrs.in called attention to the doc
ument A-hlch was Issued from the govern
ment printing office today containing the re
plies to the finance committee's circulars
with regard to the chemical schedules. Ilia
remarks drew out a somewhat lengthy state
ment from Mr. Voorhccs , chairman of the
finance committee. The committee had been
obliged , In order that the tariff might nut
bo delayed unduly , to deny verbal hearings
to persons Interested , but had Invited written
statements. It was , he said , manifestly Im
possible for one man to read , sift nnd mas
ter all this mess of testimony. That was
why he had replied to Mr. Hoar's lecture on
good manners that his question the other
day was absurd.
"If the senator will pardon me , " inter
rupted Mr. Hoar , "I will say that I never
attempted to lecture the senator from In
diana. He Is too hopeless a subject. "
. "When I recall the lecture given the sen
ator from Massachusetts by a former mem
ber of this body , " replied Mr. Voorhces ( re
count contest of 187C ) , nothing he can say
can disturb me. "
Mr. Hoar , returning to the question of the
hearing , said that during his long career
at both ends of the capltol he had never
known a tlmo when the tariff changes were
under discussion that hearings had not
been given both by the ways and means
committee and the finance committee.
While the debate was proceeding Mr.
Voorhees Interrupted to say that the proofs
of another volume of the replies on the
chemical schedule had just been laid on
his desk.
Mr. Lodge then took up the consideration
of the propos9d duty on tannlc field and
tupported it.
The debate was continued In a desultory
manner , Mr. Chandler , as on yesterday , In
dulging In some fine sarcasm at the ex
pense of his political adversaries.
PLAIN TALK FROM HALE.
Mr. Halo concluded an Ironical character
ization of the democratic side with a rather
nensatloifal announcement. It was time for
a few plain words , ho said. Intimations
had been received on the republican hide of
the chamber , not only from the other side ,
but from the high priests of tariff reform In
other quarters , that the program Involved
In the presentation of the last series of
amendments from the finance committee ,
making the bill an entirely new one , was
for the purpose of greasing Its way through
the senate. Then , after It had gone out of
the supervision of the senate , It is to be
thrown Into a conference committee a com
mittee ostensibly representing both houses
of congress , but In reality a committee
having autocratic powers. There the In
timations tell us H Is their scheme to
give away all the senate amendments , and
the Wilson bill , with all its Incongruities ,
Is to bo returned for the approval of the
senate. If the last bill of the finance com
mittee was to bo-given up In conference ,
If the country had been encouraged by false
evidence of repentance , then ho notified
the democrats on the other side ( Mr. Hale
said this with Impressive emphasis ) the bill
would never go through the senate. The
spirit now exhibited on the republican side
would change and the minority would find
some means to defeat the bill.
The Jones amendment fixing the duty on
tannlo acid at CO cents was then agreed to
33 to 11.
On the Jones amendment Increasing the
duty on tartarlc acid from 10 to 20 per cent
the vote failed to show a quorum by ono
vote , but the Jones amendment was agreed
to without division , but on the next vote to
change the. duty from 20 per cent to a
specific duty of 7 cents the quorum again
failed. A quorum was with dllllculty. secured
on this amendment and It was defeated , 1C
to 18.
The next paragraph was alcoholic per
fumery , Including cologne water and other
toilet waters , on which the duty was placed
at $2 per gallon and 25 per cent ad valorem
In the house bill. The Jones amendment In
creased the. ad valorem duty to CO per cent.
Agreed to without division.
Mr. Jones presented an entirely new
amendment to the next paragraph to change
the duty on alumlnta In Its various chemical
forms from 30 per cent nd valorem to a
specific duty of four-tenths ot 1 cent per
pound.
Mr. Aldrlch moved an amendment to make
It six-tenths of a cent. The quorum again
failed on Mr. Aldrlch's motion and Mr. Har
ris decided to make no further effort to se
cure ono today , so at 3:55 : , upon hlu motion ,
the senate adjourned.

Hill Mot of Hie Day.
WASHINGTON , .May 12. Connli1eraton ! of
the nax.il appropriation bill consumed the
time of the house , after the disposal of some
routine morning buvlncss , until adjournment.
In the morning hour , among the bills and
resolutions Introduced and appropriately re
ferred was a resolution rcportd by Mr. Me-
Gann , chairman of the committee on labor ,
In place of one heretofore offered , for the
appointment of 11 committee to Inquire Into
the business depression ; to glvi- employment
to Idle labor und to restrict immigration and
for other purposes. It was placed on the
calendar. The resolution provides for the
appointment of n congressional committee of
seven , threw senators anil four members of
the house. It Is to be the committee's duty
to Investigate and report to congress within
thirty days- the "cauce of the Industrial de
pression responsible for i.o much distress
throughout the country and what legislation
will "Induce und preserve Industrial and
financial condition th.U will offer speedy ,
permanent and lucrative employment to the
citizens of the United States. "
Consideration of thu naval appropriation
bill was then resumed In the committee of
the whole. A long and Interesting discus
sion was precipitated by the offering ot an
amendment by Mr. Maddox of Georgia , pro
viding that no part of the money appropri
ated for the naval academy should be used
for the support , of education of naval cadets'
who at the tlmo of their appointment were
not actual residents ot the congressional
district they were appointed to represent.
The debate developed the fact there were
between thirty nnd forty cadets who were
appointed by the secretary ot the navy owing
to the failure of members of congress to
nominate cadets , and who were representing
districts of which they were not residents.
The adoption of the amendment would entail
the discharge of all the e cadets.
Mr. Cummlnga Introduced n substitute re
quiring the hecrutary of the navy. In the
failure of a member of congress to nominate
a cadet to fill the vacancy , to appoint a cadet
who shall be a resident of the district from
which h ! H appointed. The adoption of
this substitute would not require the dis
charge' of Illegally appointed cndi'ls , but
would prevent the repetition of the prarllep.
No action was taken on the amendments for
want of a quorum.
Two other amendments were agreed to ,
ono appropriating $50,000 for a tug at Mare
Island navy yard , California , and the other
appropriating $1,150 for the construction of a
bulkhead at the naval asylum at Philadel
phia.
phia.At 4:27 : the house adjourned.

IJy It Clieiiper mid Iletti-r 1'lg Iron is Pro

WASHINGTON. May 12. A reduction In
the cost of casting iron , steel and other
metals by 50 per cent ; a great saving In
time ; the production of castings free from
oxidization and blow holes , and , most Im
portant of all , the production of pig iron In
mountainous and remote districts having
water power and ore but no coal ; all these
things may result from the application of
electricity , according to a new process de
scribed in a report to the Department of
State by United States Consul Frank Mason ,
at Frankfort , Germany. The process is
known as the Tausslg , and provides for
smelting and casting metals by electric heat
under the Influence of rarefied air. An air
tight furnace lined with glassed fire brick
has its hearth connected with molds Into
which the fused metal Hews by gravita
tion. The fire brick lining forms an effi
cient insulation and the electric current Is
sent through the charge directly without the
use of any fuel or the employment of carbon
electrodes. .Thereby the fused metal Is
nearly pure and free from carbon , and the
continued exhaustion of the air und gases
produced Increases the fluidity of the molten
metal , proventH oxidization and blistering
and produces dense , smooth castings of the
highest mechanical qualities.
In a small experimental furnace a ton and
a half of pig Iron was smelted In fifteen
minutes by a current of 30,000 amperes and
fifty volts about 2,000 horse power. With
water power the cost Is very low , and oven
using steam to generate the electric cur
rent there Is an economy In fuel In smelt
ing of 30 to 50 per cent. The cost of pig
Iron , with ore at $2.40 per ton , it Is said ,
would not exceed $8 per ton with a motive
power of 1,000 horse power.

Much Interest.
WASHINGTON , May 12. Dealers in oleo
margarine arc manifesting much Interest
In the amendment to the oleomargarine
law Introduced by Senator Mandcrson a few
days ago. They are especially pleased with
the proposed amendment reducing the II-
cense for dealers from $180 to $240. Mr.
Mandcrson , 111 explaining the reason for his
change , says : "There arc now 283 wholesale
dealers and C,3ti9 retail dealers licensed to
deal In oleomargarine , for which the sum
of $354,058 ( for the year ended June 30 ,
1893) ) , has been paid. This amount Is one-
half more than enough to pay the expenses
of the Internal revenue department In col
lecting In the tax , 2 cents per pound on
oleomargarine , for"whlch purpose the II-
consc tax was Instituted. "
Another amendment permits the use of
tin as well as wooden and paper packages , It
being desirable In domestic shipments to
some parts of the United States and neces
sary In export shipments to prevent soalcagc
and deterioration which sometimes affects
shipments In wooden packages.
The third amendment proposes that the
manufacturer may put In n stamped package -
ago of not less than one pound of oleomar
garine instead of ten pounds , which is now
the minimum weight package which a man
ufacturer may pack. Explaining this change.
Senator Mandcrson says In bin statement :
"Tho object of this amendment is to pro
vide the retailer with an original package
to sell , properly marked and branded ; and
as the retailer will bo restrained from sell
ing any oleomargarine In any quantity ex
cept In the manufacturers' original package ,
It Is necessary that he should be provided
with a package as small as one pound. The
restrictions us to the minimum amount a
wholesale dearer may sell that exists In the
present bill Is not changed by this amend
ment. Under the provision of this amend
ment no oleomargarine can be sold by any
licensed dealer , wholesale or retail , except
In the original stamped package , thus In
variably advising all buyers of the fact
that they are buying oleomargarine , and
also of the name of the party manufactur
ing the same , it being expected that the
regulation will require the original package
to be stamped with the word 'oleomargar
ine' and also the factory number and name
of the manufacturer. "

llces nil Aid to Fruit Production ,
WASHINGTON , May 12. United States
Consul Germain at Zurich has transmitted
to the Department of State a report of cer
tain experiments made in Switzerland to
demonstrate that the bco has other uses
than as n honey producer. To ascertain
whether the bees Injure fruit and vegetable
flowers by extracting their honey , the ex
perimenters covered part of the branches
of cherry and pear trees and fruit bushes
with a fine netting to exclude the bees.
Nearly all of the flowers dropped off the
protected branches and there was no fruit
on them , while the uncovered branches bore
luxuriantly. The deduction Is that the
bees' visits are necessary to fertilize the
blossoms by transferring pollen.

tlio Ijtpi1ii ( r.
At a recent meeting of the board of
directors of the Omnlm Street Hallway com
pany It was decided to repudiate In part the
agreement of President Murphy with the
park commissioners Jn regard to paying a
proportion of the expense Incident to tlio
band concerts In ( lid parks during the
summer months. In previous seasons all
the concerts have been given In Hanscom
park , This year there was such a deter
mined demand for music at other places that
the board decided to give twelve concerts at
Hanscom park , flvo at Jefforsan square , two
at Ilcmls park and two at Riverside park.
The Street Hallway company has been ac
customed to pay one-half the expenses of
the Hanscom park concerts and President
Murphy assured the members of the board
that they would be willing to do the same
tiling this year. They would agree to the
same arrangement with regard to the Hcmls
and Riverside park concerts , but refused
to contribute anything to the Jefferson-
square entertainments. This was satis
factory to the board and arrangements were
made accordingly.
At the directors meeting they refused to
approve Mr. Murphy's recommendation ex
cept as far as It referred to Hanscom park.
The expense of the other concerts will there
fore have to be paid entirely by the park
commission.
CATJGHT ONE OF THEM.
Jury In the Mlntrlct Court Hi-turn * n Verdict
In tlm I'ooMIoom CUT * .
In the case of the state against the pro
prietors of the Diamond pool rooms the Jury
returned a verdict at noon yesterday ,
finding Charles White guilty as charged ,
while the three other defendants. Jack Mor
risen , C. D. Blbbcns and II. 13. Kennedy ,
were declared to bo not guilty.
It goes without saying that the case will
go to the supreme court. The convicted de
fendant will be sentenced next Saturday
and In the meantime will enjoy his liberty
under $1,500 bonds.
The verdict was rccslved with n broad
smile by the crowd In the court room , who
had been listening to the evidence for two
days. It had been thought possible that a
verdict of guilty would be rendered against
Morrison and White , but how the Jury man
aged to single out White and let all thrco
of the others go was something that was
altogether too deep for the average Indi
vidual and they gave It up.
Judge Doane , In his closing argument for
the state , took occasion to further touch up
the detective force , reiterating to the jmy
what he had previously said to the court
about the convenient blindness of the cats
who do not catch mice.

OTTAWA , Ont. , May 12. The report from
the commander of the cruiser Curlew , which
seized the American steamers for violating
the fishery regulations in Lake Erie , will
reach Ottawa today. In nn Interview Sir
Charles Tupper said : "Canadian llshermen
must take out a license , but these pothunters
ers took all the llah they wanted without
having to pay for a license. This state of
affairs I am determined to prevent In the
future. The Canadian government has
adopted a system of granting license , which
the United States has declined so far to
do. As for International complications
arising out of these seizures I have no fear ,
as the commander of the Canadian cruiser
has only followed out his Instructions to
seize Canadian as well as American fishing
ressels without llcdhse , and the Canadian
government is further strengthened by the
knowledge that the American vessels were
poaching In Canadian territory. "

CHEYKNNE , Wyo. , May 12.-SpccIal ( tor
The lleo. ) Senator Joseph M. Carey came
homo from Washington Thursday on a brief
busmcss trip. He Is enjoying excellent
health and greeted most cordially the many
friends who called .at'hls . ofllco today to pay
their respects. The JJeo correspondent was
accorded a brief Interview , touching upon
national legislation.
"The Impression on the republican side ot
the senate , " said the senator , "Is that It will
bo at least six weclts before a vote can bo
reached on the tariff bill. Of course 'the
length of time that It will bo under con
sideration will bo contingent , more or less ,
upon the changes that are made In the bill
from tlmo to time. H has not been fully
formulated as yet , and the 400 now amend
ments will prolong debate. Assuming
that thcso amendments reported by
the finance committee wl',1 be In
corporated In the bl'.l , the measure
now pending Is more llko the McKlnley law
than It Is llko the Wilson bill as It came
from the house. The amended bill IB
against the agricultural Interests , especially
the Interests of the Uochy mountain region. "
Tho. senntor cited numerous Instances
where the bill will be particularly damag
ing to the Interests uf the west. Cattle
have recently been purchased In Mexico at $2
a head , In Mexican money. Hut as the silver
certificates of the United States will buy-
Mexican silver at the rate of $2 for ono , the '
actual cost of Mexican cattle would bo but
$1 a head. The proposed tariff bill fixes
the duty at 20 per cent nd valorem , based j
upon the actual cost , making the duty 20
cents a head. Under the McKlnloy law the ,
tariff Is $10 a head for common stock. H
can be readily seen what a demoralizing <
effect such a reduction In the duty would
have on the cattle Industry In this country.
The same Is true with respect to horses.
If the proposed schedule Is adopted thoroughbred - f
oughbred Canadian horses will bo brought
over the line and sold for $20 a head.
INCOME TAX riOATUHE.
Continuing , ho said that the Income tax |
feature of tlio bill had not been stricken out ,
although the most objectionable provisions '
had been eliminated. "Tho republicans In
the fecnato have done everything In their
power ( o keep a duty on wool , " said he , i
"but have been unable to make an Imprea-
Klon In this regard. The democrats claim
that free wool wua ono of the Issues on
which they wcro elected , and oven the
democratic Rcnatoni from the great wool
producing states rcfuso their consent to
putting a tariff on the raw material.
"Tho greatest Interest centers about the
sugar schedules , and It Is believed that n
split may yet come on this article. "
Senator Carey's views on the ( niestlon of
bimetallism have not changed. Ho said :
"Thcrci Is a very strong party In this coun
try In favor of International bimetallism ,
and It Is growing , What IB true of this
country Is true of Great Drltaln. The
financiers of that country agree that It
could not maintain the frco coinage cf silver ,
but the financiers of the world arc * gradually
coming to the same belief as that expressed
by the republican party In Its last national
platform adopted In 1S92. The republican
party " -as a whole believes that the world
would bo greatly benefited by a return to
the coinage of both gold und silver , The
Idea Is growing , and Is rapidly taking pos
session of the east.
"It Is the general belief that tlio Ledge
amendment will receive a largo vote whtn
it Is changed In some essential particulars.
U Is the Idea of most of the republicans who
have studied the' question that Great Brit
ain alone stands In the way of International
bimetallism , and that some pressure should
bo brought to bear upon that country to
bring about an agreement ,
"I consider , honestly and faithfully , that
thobo who favor the International Idea of
the bimetallic question are better friends
to the silver Interests than these who favor
frco and unlimited coinage of sliver by thin
country alone. The latter would bring this
country to the condition Mexico finds her
self In at this tlmo. "
Senator Carey thinks the outlook most
encouraging for republican success throuKh-
out the country this fall , and It Is his
opinion that there will bo a revolution In
the representation In the house.
