WASHINGTON , Juno 7. The action of the attorney general In claiming $15,000,000 from tlio cstato of the late Leland Stanford occu pied the time of thcs enatn until the tariff bill was taken up today , The question rose rose upon a resolution Introduced by Mr , Hoar nlstructlng the committee on Judiciary to pass upon the equity of the claim and whether It should bo set at. rest. Speaking on the Stanford resolution Senator Hoar said the government ought at once to decide the question of cxtlnqulihlng and putting this claim at rest. Ho did not suppose , he said , that any one seriously Bupposcd the govern ment had a claim against the Stanford estate and It was proper the Judiciary committee ehould say whether tlio alleged claim wan founded upon a technicality or upon law and equity , Mr. Hoar recited the benefactions under the will of Governor Stanford and added : z "If the government had u claim of $15- 000,000 that was only 20 cents apiece for the Inhabitants of the United States , to whom Mr.'Strnford bad consecrated his large estate , and It ought not to embarrass the closing years of his widow and cripple and perhaps destroy the great gift ho had triado for the.benefit of the poor by seek ing to press It. " BLACKBURN UPHOLDS OLNEY. No one , Mr. Blackburn said , In reply , felt more deeply than ho the public spirit manifested by his late associate In devoting so much to educational pursuits. But the question was , did he own the cstato or had ho sought to divert to this high purpose an estate that belonged to the United States ? The attorney general has already taken steps to determine this question and It was the flrst time be had ever heard of either house of congress attempting to stay the hand of the law olllcer of the govern ment. Wlille In expressed terms , the reso lution only applied to the Stanford estate , It the claim against Mr. Stanford's estate was relinquished and set at rest , the claims against Hopkins , Crocker and Huntlngton must be released also. Mr. Hoar Insisted that this did not neces sarily follow. The resolution was one of pure Inquiry. "Are wo to understand , " Inquired Mr. Voorhees , "that this proceeding on the part of the United States Is an attempt to hold the Stanford estate for the mortgage the government halda against the Central Pa cific ? " "No , " replied Mr. Hoar , "It Is a proceeding under a California statute on the ground of stockholders' liability. After the flrst and second mortgages fall due , unless satisfied , the stockholder ) become Individually liable. " "Before taking my seat I desire to say , " said Mr. Voorhces , "that Leland Stanford Is the only very rich man I have ever known whoso simplicity and sublimity of character was not touched or debased by his wealth. Ho was the same simple , kindly , devoted nature that exists elsewhere without the corroding Influence of wealth. " The tariff bill was then taken up. Mr. Carey completed his speech on the bill at 2 o'clock. o'clock.HARRIS HARRIS SPRUNG A SURPRISE. Mr. Harris , pursuant to an agreement reached after some consultation with' some of the republican leaders , sprang a surprise on many of the senators In the shape of a proposition to proceed with schedules G- , ag ricultural products , and H , spirits , wines and other beverages , I , cottons , and J , flax , hemp and Jute , under the flve-mlnute rule. This would have carried the senate to sched ule 1C , wool and woolens , under fast marching orders. It seemed at flrst as if there would bo no objection. Mr. Harris stated that after consultation on both sides of the senate ho Indulged the opinion an agreement would be reached. If It was , ho said , It would put an end to all controversy about night sessions. While the matter was being Informally discussed Mr. Quay sauntered Into the chamber. Ho asked what It all meant. On being told It was a request for unanimous consent to limit debate ho said : "I ob ject. " Having thus abruptly smashed the proposed truce , ho walked Into the marble room. Then the sonata proceeded with the debate on the bill. Messrs. Allison , Sherman , McLaurln , Man- derson. Vest , Allen and Teller participated. The Nebraska Junior senator became In volved In a discussion with Mr. Teller on the causes of the low prices of wheat. Mr. Teller said hotly that ho was at a loss to locate the Nebraska senator politically after his remarks and his recnt votes. He did not know which ho belonged to , the popullstlc or the democratic party. "I voted with you on the last vote on the sugar schedule , " said Mr. Allen. "I beg the senator's pardon , " replied Mr. Teller , "you voted tor , and I voted against the sugar schedule. " "I voted against the discrimination In the Sugar trust. "But you voted for the schedule. " "I voted for It , but the party to which you belong bankrupted the treasury and we could not lese the revenue In that schedule. " The discussion was continued till 5 o'clock , when a vote was had on the nuance commit tee amendment flxlug the rote on oatmeal at 15 per cent and excluding It from the reciprocity provision ot the paragraphs. It was adopted. Thou at 8 o'clock , with a sarcastic allu sion to the rapid progress made today , Mr. Harris moved the senatego Into executive session. After a brief period the senate ad journed. .

The leaders on both sides ot the senate have been conferr ing with a view to reaching some agreement so that progress will bo made on the tariff , Senators Aldrlch and Allison conferred with Senators Harris and Cockrell. At 2 o'clock Mr. Harris proposed the agreement In the senate. With the modifi cation that senators might speak for ten minutes It was discussed by Mr. Hoar and Mr. Fryo , and while- the discussion was go ing on Mr. Quay came In and asked what was before the senate and objected. This killed , tha agreement , at present at least. IT WAS CADMUS. Walter Onotnn Tells tlio Committee tlio 9\ NIIIIIO Tliut Ha Withheld. WASHINGTON , Juno 7.

This was the time that the alliances of the county were Instituted and ho was ono of the nominees of the flrst ticket that the populists put up In the county. Conloy was a candidate for re-election , but his party turned him down and nominated S. Knudsen - son , who is sheriff at the present time. Conley's affairs were perfectly straight , so far as known , until about September 1 , 1S33.

( Special Telegram to The Bee. ) Today's session ot the Ne braska State Pharmaceutical association's thirteenth annual convention was as Inter esting as OD Monday , Tuesday and Wednes day. At the morning session the commit tee on trade Interests reported , the secre tary reading the report , prepared by H. H. Varth of Lincoln. A number ot similar as sociations throughout the country sent greet ing , . The committed on membership per manently awarded the gold medal to C. M. Cruncleton of Beatrice , for securing the most new members to the association. Twerity-threo was his number. A little bit ot politics , was manifested in the attempt to nominate oftlccrs today for tomorrow's election , and after considerable discussion the matter was voted down. The association has decided to recommend a more strict statute on the subject of poisons and the matter will come up at the next meeting for action. An unsuccessful at tempt was made to change the name of the association to the "Nebraska Pharmaceu- , tioal association , " but from motives ot policy , the "state" was retained. A feature of the morning's session was the presentation to Ed. W. Bexten , the local secretary , of a flno set of pearl handled knives and forks , with a plush case , in recognition ot his services In making the convention the big success that It Is. In the afternoon the visitors were given a car- rlago rlda to the asylum and return , and many then amused themselves at the bicycle race. race.A prize Is offered to the druggist who Is the cause of the most laughable incidont. At the present writing all of the visitors have entered In the competition , and strife Is keen. Two or throe seem ahead. There Is W. P. Curwen , whose fertile brain originated the 'order of "Missouri Colonels. " Without the Colonels llfo at the convention would bo stale. On Tuesday afternoon , the second de gree was administered to a number of candi dates , and last night , after the card party , the Colonels hold a reception and conferred all degress from the third to the fourteenth. They are all pledged to "do their duty. " whatever that may mean , and the badge , a half emptied flask with the Indians M. C. , Is always seen where the fun Is thickest. Next to Curwen , the druggist who at tempted to ride the burro yesterday after noon , seems highest In favor. While IliiPd up In front of the Bostwlck watting for the rest of the procession to fall In to inarch to Colo's park , they espied a poor , lean burro hitched to a rough road cart.
