WASHINGTON , May 17. There was nn rca of low barometer nml Indications threatening a storm when the Hcnate met to day. day.Mr. . Morgan opened the proceedings by offering a resolution which , after reciting the cxldtenco of the Slicrman null-trust law of June 2 , 1692 , ami the alleged exist ence of the Sugar trust , called on the attor ney ( general tor Information ns to whether any proceedings were pending against such corporation ; If so , what stage they had reached ; If not , whether In his opinion there was any defect In the anti-trust law. The Lodcc tariff bribery and sugar In vestigation resolution which cnmo over from yesterday was then laid before the senate by Vice President Stevenson and Mr. Lodge took tinfloor. . On Monday , he said , an nrtl- rnI had appeared In the Philadelphia Press charging that enormous profit would accrue to the .Sugar trust by the fixing of the date when the sugar schedule would go Into effect , on January 1 , which profit was estimated nt J50.000.000. It charged the schedule was exacted by the trust In fulfillment of pledges made to It during the campaign of 1802. It also charged that the Jonea amendments wore In the hands of a firm of New York brokers , whose names were given , at the time when their existence was denied by the chairman of the finance com mittee and others. These charges were made by K. J. Edwards , a well known news paper man , who wrote over the nom de plume of Holland. If there were any truth In them the public ought to know It. II false , the constituted a libel of the grossest false , they constituted u libel of the grossest calved from Its correspondent here end had printed n story of an alleged attempt to bribe senators , that had since been con firmed by an Interview with one of the senators. Mr. Hunton of Virginia said as his name had been connected with the charges he de- aired to say ho hoped they would bo In vestigated to the lowest depths. It was not becoming In him to sav more than this at this time. As a matter of fact , he had never l > eon approached at all. He felt annoyed that any , one should suppose ho could have l > ccn bribed , and especially In the form in which the attempt was made , through a well beloved son. who stood as high above nnythlng of the sort as ho ( Senator Hunton ) claimed to he. MAKING IT A DRAG NET. Mr. Ccckrell of Missouri suggested that the resolution bo amended so the inquiry re lating to the Sugar trust should extend to contributions to any political party for cam paign purposes. Mr , Lodge declared he would cheerfully ac cept the amendment , Mr. Hanibrough of North Dakota said that OB 0. W. Ruttz of Hanson county. North Dakota , one of his constituents , was charged with having made the attempt at bribery ho desired to make n statement. Mr. BulU called upon him last night for a conference and had concluded that the best thing to do would bo to court the fullest Investigation. He had a letter from Btittz which he desired to have read In the senate , and sent It to the clerk's desk. The letter asks that the senators from North Dakota demand , a speedy Investigation of the allegations , which , eo far as the newspapers publishing them are concerned , Mr. Uuttz stigmatizes as falsehoods and slanders , utterly without foundation. Mr , Cockrell suggested another amendment to Include the words "Sugar trust , or any persons connected therewith , " and also after the words , "money paid for campaign pur poses or to secure legislation. " Mr. Ledge accepted this amendment also. Mr. Allan thought the scope of the reso lution should bo broadened so as to Include the Investigation of the charges going the rounds of the newspapers that senators had been speculating In Sugar stock. There vyns no response to Mr. Allen's suggestion. Mr. Chandler wanted to amncd the reso lution bo us to Include money paid by the Sugar trust not only for campaign but for "other election purposes. " Ho had occasion to believe , ho said , that money has brn used by the Sugar trust to elect United States collators. Mr. LoJga accepted this amendment also. Mr. Ilaulknor of West Virginia asked that a clause be nddcd to the resolution so as to glvo the Investigating committee jurisdic tion to Investigate and report on any other charges that might be preferred before the committee against senators alleging corruptIng - Ing Influences In connection with the tariff bill. bill.Mr Mr , Ledge Indicated a willingness to ac cept this amendment. Mr. Quay nbhcd that Mr. Faulkner's cimendmcuit be modified so i\n to give the committee Jurisdiction not only of charges In connection with the tariff bill , but of all legislation. This suggestion failed to Bccuru approval. As no response had been made to Mr , 'Allen's Insinuation about senators speculating in Sugar stock during the consideration of the tariff bill , ho presented at this point n formal amendment to Include these charges in the Inquiry. It was accepted by Mr. Lodge , and then , without division , just as the morning hour expired , the resolution was adopted. adopted.RESOLUTION AS AMENDED. As amended the resolution Is as follows : AVhcreas , It has been stated In the Sun , n newspaper published In New York , thai bribes huvo been offered to certain senator ; to Induce them to vote against the pending tariff bill , and Whereas , U has also been staled In n signed article In the Press , a newspapct published In Philadelphia , tint the sugat echcdulo has been mtulu up , as It now stan.Is in the proposed amendment , In consideration ol a largo bum of money paid for campaign purposes of the democratic party ; therefore Resolved , That a committee of live sen < ntnrs be appointed la Investigate then charges and to Inquire further whether an ) contributions have been made by the Sugar trusl , or any person connected therewith , tr any political party for campaign or election purposes , or to sccuro or defeat legislation nml whether any senator has been or It speculating In what nro known as Sugai stocks during the consideration of the tarlfl bill now before the senate , and with powci to send for persons and papers and to inV minister oaths. Ilesohcd , That said committee bo author Izcd to Investigate and report upon nnj charga or charge's which may be tiled lie- foru it alleging the action of any scnatoi had been corruptly or Improperly Influemcoe' ' In the consideration of t > ald bill , or that an ) attempt had been made to Influence Icglsltv tlon. tlon.The bribery question being disposed of foi the time being , the tariff bill was taken up and Mr. Galllngcr for an hour and three/ quarters continued his review of prevloui tariff legislation , Ho then yielded to Mr Hlgglns , who spoke at length on the effcci of protection prices. On Mr. Jones' motion , 3 cents per potim on ultra marina blue was substituted for 2 ( per cent , the rate fixed when the bill was first reported to the senate , The Jones amendment to change the rate ct i ! cents per pound on vermllllon red made of lead , to 25 per cent , was agreed to ; alse the amendments fixing the rate on parh \vhlte , dry , at a quarter of a cent , ground Ir oil at half at a cent , and on oxide of zlno ant white * lne paint at 1 cent per pound , The Jones amendment to substitute 2 ! cents per pound for 10 per cent on hydto chlorate and iodide of potash was agreed to The Jones amendment Increasing the rate on red and yellow prusslate from 20 to 2G per cent was agreed to. AN INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE. At G:30 : the vice president announced.the appointment of the following committee In accordance with the terms of the Ledge res * olutlon : Messrs. Gray , Lindsay , Lodge , Allen and Davis. At C o'clock Mr. Harris , the floor man ager of the tariff bill , moved the senate take n recess until tomorrow morning , with the : Intention of continuing the legislative day and force the consideration of the tariff bill to the exclusion of all other legislative busi ness. This meant the Inauguration of the policy of duress that made famous the struggle over the federal elections bill , the bill tc repeal the Slierjnan law and all ether blp legislative contests In the donate. The republicans , under the leadership ol Mr. Mandcrson , resisted , vainly Insisting that they did not seek to delay action on the tariff bill. They used the usual filibustering methods , breaking n quorum by refusing tc vote , although certain of their western col leagues declined to join them In the filibus tering. At 7:30 : p. m. a motion to adjourn was voted down by the democrats. Both sides by this time had evidently concluded to "sit It out. " They prepared for a siege , They smoked In the cloak rooms and chatted on the floor. .Mr. Palmer regaled those who gathered about him with his Inimita ble stories. Occasionally several senators would cluster around Mr. Harris and llslen to his crisp , pointed and sometimes very caustic char acterization of the situation. About 8 o'clock Mr. Chandler disturbed the serenity of things by Inquiring whether he- could proceed with some remarks he desired to make on the pending bill. Mr. White of California replied sarcis- tlcally that ho could If he would confine Ms remarks to caslor oil. Mr. Faulkner. In the chair , ruled that no remarks were In order pending the absence of a quorum. At 8:20 : the sorgeant-at-arms submitted his report , which showed that of the ab sentees on the roll call , ten senators were absent from the city , twenty-two could not be found , one ( Mr. Morrlll ) had declined tc attend , and nineteen were either present newer or had reported they would Immediately respond spend to the request. This did not satisfy Mr. Harris. He waa In favor of adopting more heroic measures. Ho moved to compel the attendance of the absentees. IUTTLE WAS A DRAW. At 10:30 : o'clock , after sitting eleven and a half hours , and after some very sharp and plain talk on both sides , the republicans succeeded In forcing an adjournment , al though the battle was in reality a drawn one. A compromise was practically agreed upon before adjournment by which the ses sions of the henato are to begin at 10 o'clock after Monday. Senators on both sides ol the chamber regard the work of this evenIng - Ing ns the real beginning of the siege ol night sessions and roll calls , n test of physical endurance on ono side and of re sistance on the other , which all have under stood from the beginning would be resorted to before the end of the tariff debate should be reached. The republicans generally as sert they will resist unusual hours or ex traordinary proceedings , and the democrats say It has become evident from , the long speeches made today and on other days recently and unless the hours are extended the disposal of the bill will be indefinitely delayed. IltltlG.VTION TALKS IN Till ! IIOUSK. Motion to Increaio the Appropriation for Irrigation Kxpcmos Defeated. WASHINGTON , May 17. Among the bills favorably reported In the house today was ono , by Mr. Chlckerlng of New York from the committee on railways and canals to Inquire into the feasibility of constructing a ship canal from the Hudson river to the great lakes. After the call of committees the house went Into committee of the whole to con sider the agricultural appropriation bill. Representative Herman of Oregon offered an amendment raising the appropriation for Irrigation Investigation from $8,000 to $23,000. The discussion of the paragraph dealing with the Investigation of Irrigation matters led to a serious difference or opinion. The members from Texas , California and the arid regions of the west and southwest , where the subject of Irrigation Is a nurnlng ques tion , demanded ono and two hours to dis cuss the paragraph and amendments , while Mr. Hatch was willing to concede only twenty minutes. Mr. Hatch's motion to close the debate In the. twenty minutes was amended by Mr. Cannon of Illinois so as to make It one hour , when the house divided , Cl to 77 , and Mr. Cannon made the point of no quo rum. Then followed a period of filibustering , led by Mr. Cannon. H resulted In fixing the limit of debate at thirty minutes. Mr. Herman's amendment was defeated. An amendment was adopted authorizing the secretary of agriculture to Investigate the nutritive value of food products ; also an amendment providing for the production of ramie , a Chinese plant resembling silk ; also an amendment providing that pert > ons who should knowingly publish a false weather forecast or warnings should bo fined In a sum not to exceed $500 or Imprisonment not exceeding ninety days , or both. An amendment was also adopted author izing the secretary of agriculture to Inquire as to the feasibility of displaying woathoi signals from postal cars. At G o'clock the consideration of the bill was concluded and the committee of the. whole having risen the bill was favorably reported to the house , and the previous question being ordered , the bill was passed In spite of Mr. Marsh's efforts to recommit , At 5:04 : the house adjourned.

An Interesting Issue of the trouble between the state ol South Carolina and the railroads managed by the federal courts thiough receivers has been passed upon by the house committee on claims. It has been decided to favorably report the bill Introduced by Representative Latlmor to refund to the state $1,500 , the amount of fines Imposed on the sheriffs of Nowbeirry ami Alkcn counties two years ago for their action in levying upon the property of the Richmond & Danvltlo and South Carolina roads. These railroads were In the hands of receivers appointed by the federal courts. The State Hoard of null- road commissioners raised the assessments on railroad property and were supported by the stuto courts. The mutter was brought before the United States circuit court , ami thence wa.s taken to the supreme court , whirh dismissed It for want of jurisdiction , the sum Involved being less than $5,000. The United States circuit court ordered the receivers to pay the old rate of tax , but the three sheriffs , acting under direction of the state olllcers , proceeded to enforce the collection of taxes under the raised as sessment , Judge Slmonton fined them bet ! : $500 each for contempt of court , but the fines were- paid by the state. In later cases Urn Judge reversed his decision , and the bill to have the federal government reimburse the stuto for the action of the federal judge was Introduced. Uepresontatlvo Litlmer has a bill pending before the Judiciary com- mtttco to define the powers of federal courts In the matter at railroad receivership ; which Is designed to amend the whole sys tem of which this case h an issue.

At Devil Gate Hill , Utah , thirteen miles cast of Ogdcn , the California contingent ol the Coxey army yesterday greased the rails on the Union Pacific for u distance of 200 yards , hoping thereby to check the speed of the orange special which they were com pelled to abandon nt Ogden. The railroad authorities , however , fearful of some such action on the part of the Commonwcalcrs , attached the helper to the train at Qgden Instead of LJIntah , the usual meeting point at the foot of the hill. The train pulled up the hill ut a lively pace and succeeded In passing over the greabed rails before the speed was perceptibly slackened. ' Had the rails , however , been greased fifty ynrde further the Industrials would have been able to board the cars nnd It would have taken considerable of u force to dislodge them , there being nearly 100 men In the company. These nre the sumo men who took charge of the expedited orange train Wednesday at Ogden , but the railroad people refused to allow the train to go out , and the men , recognizing that the employes of the com pany were closely guarding the property , marched out to Unltah , where they camped. The orange train was started out from Ogden yesterday morning , but oven with greased rails managed to elude Its would-be captors , who will undoubtedly attempt to board another freight train should any be sent out of Ogden. 0UAKANTINi , : AM ) UNPKU.

The army left Hastings at 11:30 : n. m. and marched here , fifteen miles , without a stop and with no dinner. Sheriff Logan met the army at the line of Montgomery county with the news that the mayor of Red Oak had Issued a proclamation forbidding the army to enter the city limits , and also warning all persons .from visiting the army or associating with them under penalty of being placed In quar antine In the pest house. This action was the result of a spec'al session of the council last night to deter mine what should be done. The army had passed through Pacific Junction and was ex posed to smallpox , several cases being re ported from that point. The army Is now- encamped two miles north of the city on the river. In honor of E. E. Clark the camp Is named Camp Clark. Mr. Clark kindly gave General Keltoy permission to use the grounds. The men presented a sorry specta cle when they went Into camp. It was a difficult matter to distinguish the whites from blacks. General Kelsey Is not In the best of humor tonight. The rations are at a low point nnd the present outlook Is that the army will go without breakfast In the morning. The citizens of Red Oak seem determined that no provisions shall be sent to the Indus trials. What course General Kelsey will pursue in the morning Is not known. He says he will not leave until provisions are provided. Hudson , the leader of the Den ver army , who joined Kelsey at Omaha , was drummed out of camp this morning at Hastings. Ho had been trying since leaving Omaha to get n following strong enough to steal a train. Thu men seem to be deter mined , however , to stay by their leader and cause no trouble. CRESTON , la. , May 17.

The army will not be permitted to enter Crouton , but will be given a day's rations and ordered to pass around the city. The Kelseyltes expect to reach this city Satur day , and the populists have called a mass meeting and expect to have Kelsey address them. DISHANIii ; ) AKMY C1KT.S IUOTOUS.

LONDON , May 17. A manifesto signed by the English archbishops and by thirty-one bishops 1m been addressed to the members of the Church of England In Wales. The manifesto declares that the bill for the dis establishment of the church In Wales , If II should become a law , would weaken the unity of the church and alienate the ancient gifts by which the service of God and the pastoral career of the people were main tained for centuries , that It would dcpr.vc the poor of their legal rights to seats In the churchc. , and of the ministration of the clergy to their sick and dying , and would reduce the Church of Wales to penury , thereby Impeding the worship of God. The manifesto appeals to the poor and the rich to consider the matter fully , and urces laymen and the clergy to explain the matter to the people , though the clergy , It is added , must refrain from reference to the bill In the pulpit , thus keeping the house of God free from contention. The clergy , however , are Instructed to In sert In their services a special collect for the preservation of the church. Christian olec- torn ore asked to consider how their votes can preserve them from on alienation of the rghtH enjoyed for ages for God's service and for the people's welfare. The bill for the disestablishment of the church In Wales ( and Manmouth ) was Intro duced In the House of Commons by Homo Secretary Asqulth on April 2C. The measure provides that the disestablishment shall go Into force on January 1 , 1S9C. After that date all ecclesiastical corporations are to be dissolved and all rights of patronage are to cease. No new Welsh bishops vire to sit In the House of Lords , the ecclesiastical court of Wales will no longer have coercive Juris diction and the convocation will not have legal power. The Income of the Welsh church , $1,395,000 yearly , will be secured for the benefit of Wales. Mr. Asqulth explained that the funds released under the bill would be devoted to the erection of hospitals and public halls , to provide dwellings for la borers , to make allotments for technical edu cation , libraries , museums and other secular Instructions.

The exact status of the British sealer Triumph , which re. cently returned to Victoria after n "warn Ing" from the British cruiser Hyacinth Is not clearly known hero and It may be the subject of another dispute between tin United States and Great Britain.

Some of the olllclals were told If she encountered the Triumph wltl : freshly taken sealskins nbonrd It wns the duty of the commander under the net tc seize the vessel nnd bring her to port.

CONSTRUCTION. Porthole * In thu Crulsnr Columbia Placed In the Wr.uiif PoKltlon. WASHINGTON , May 17. There has been much Interest In the Navy department in finding out who made the mistake on the Columbia In placing the porthole plates of the four-pound guns. It was found that these guns could not bo elevated , thu tube being jammed ngulnst the top of tlio port holes. Comparison of the plans , or tem plates , us the patterns of the plates nre called , show that no error has been made In measurement. The explanation accepted as most plausible until a more extensive and practical examination can be made Is that the odlccrs who placed the plates In position reversed them so that the bottom came where the top should be. This was a natural mistake to make In each ot the four plates , If the error was made In pluc- Ing the first ono In position , nnd there might bo no way of discovering the error until the muz/.lo of tlm gun was shoved through the porthole. From the reports received the experts in the Navy department believe that the mistake can be easily cor rected by turning the plates around. This change , of course , can bo inexpensively made.
