Kcvrrnl .Senators Wnnt Infortnntlun
from the Treasury Department
Moro Wool .Speeches for Today.
WASHINGTON , June 13. Mr. Perkins of
California took occasion at the opening of
the session of the senate today to briefly
defend the memory of the late Leland Stan
ford from the charge made by Representa
tive Geary a few days ago that ho had
founded tha Stanford university out of a
spirit of rovcngo and resentment because
ho had not teen elected a trustee of the
University of California. When ho was
governor of California hoMr. . Perkins ) had
appointed Mr. Stanford a regent of the unl-
' Terslty , but nt Mr , Stnnford'o own request
the legislature did not confirm the nomina
tion. Governor Stoncman also would have
made Mr. Stanford a regent but the honor
> vras declined.
A recommendation offered by Mr. Morgan
was passed calling on the secretary of the
treasury for certain Information :
1. What amount of gold coin has been re
ceived by the Treasury department slneo
November 1 , 1893 ?
2. How much was received from the sale
of bonds mid to what persons or banking
Institutions wcro such bonds sold ?
3. What outstanding obligations have been
redeemed/ gold slnco that date ?
Mr. Hoar offered a resolution calling upon
the president to Inform the senate what , If
any , representations , written or oral , have
lieen made to the government of the United
States by the representatives of any foreign
countries us to any contemplated retaliation
on account of the proposed Imposition of a
discriminating duty on sugar nganlst bounty-
Rlvlnfi countries , also the facts as to the
probable exclusion of our agricultural prod
ucts from Germany or Guatemala and also
any Information in his possession relative
to any proposed retaliatory legislation by
the Cortos of Spain on account of the abro
gation of the reciprocity treaty under the
tariff act of 1800.
There was no objection and the resolution
was adopted.
On motion of Mr. vllas , democrat of Wis
consin , three bills providing ono additional
circuit judge each for the Seventh , Eighth
and Ninth judicial districts wcro passed.
The tariff debate was resumed , the pendIng -
Ing question being Mr. Pcffer's amend
ment to restore 50 per cent of the duty on
raw wools.
SHERMAN DENOUNCES FREE WOOL.
Mr. Sherman was recognized and made a
vigorous speech against free wool.
The question of free wool , Mr. Sherman
eald , particularly affected the pcoplo of Ohio.
Ho reiterated what he had said In a previous
speech , that free wool was the culminating
atrocity of this bill. Ho appealed to the
democrats to put aside politics and withhold
this destructive blow to this great Industry.
The sheep raisers and wool growing Industry
was common , In a. greater or less extent , to
every state and territory. It was certain , ho
eatd , that the United States could not compote
pete In the production of wool with Australia ,
Argentine and other countries where sheep
raising was a national Industry. Unless
some government aid was given , the farmers
of the United States must abandon the field.
Mr. Dubols followed Mr. Sherman. When
Mr. Dubols finished , Mr. Stewart of Nevada
took the floor and made an argument against
Ireo wool. Mr. Hansbrough of North Dakota
followed.
Mr. Hansbrough was succeeded by Mr.
Shoup of Idaho , who also opposed frco wool
as disastrous to ono of the chief Industries
of his state. Mr. Shoup contended that the
fall In the prlco of wool had been world wide
for twenty years , and in the United States
it ruled higher than elsewhere by the amount
of the duty lovled. The demonetization of
silver had much to do with the fall of the
price of wool In the world's market. Ho cited
market quotations to show that the dlffer-
once between foreign and domestic prices
had been coming closer together slnco the
election of a democratic president. He
analyzed the cost added to the price of a
suit of clothes by the duty on wool to show
how small a proportion of the finished pro
duct the duty is. Comparisons were al o
made to show the greater labor cost In the
United States as compared with Australia.
Ho contended that free wool would ruin the
Industry In the United States.
WOULD RUIN "OREGON SHEEP MEN.
Mr. Mitchell of Oregon also opposed free
wool. Ho argued the Pacific coast would
bo moro Injuriously affected by free wool
than any other part of the country. Free
wool meant absolute destruction to the wool-
growing Industry of Oregon , an Industry
which had grown to ba of vast Importance
to the stato. A largo portion of Oregon was
moro useful for sheep grazing than for any
other purpose.
Mr. Fryo declared Australia could produce
enough wool to supply the entire consump
tion of the United States. Australian wool ,
ho said , could bo laid down In New York for
0 cents a pound. Yet It was the deliberate
Intention of the democratic majority to sub
ject every farmer In the United States , where
he had fed his sheep six months of the year
In Maine or allowed them to run wild all
the year round In Texas , to such nnnlhllatory
competition fiom Australia.
When this discussion ended , at G:30 : , Mr.
Quay took his manuscript from his desk and
began the eighth Installment of his famous
speech , begun two months ago today.
After Mr. Quay had spoken fifteen minutes
Mr. Harris , In charge of the tariff bill , asked
him to yield to him ( Harris ) . Ho called
attention to the slow progress of the bill ,
two days -already having been consumed In
general debate on the wool schedule. Ho
them made a request for unanimous consent
that the wool schedule bo proceeded with
' under the flvo-mlnuto rule tomorrow after
Mr. Aldrlch , who desired to speak , had
, finished. . ' . , . .
The request developed the fact that
Messrs. Lodge , Chandler , Platt and others
dcslrod to address the sonata on the general
subject of the schedule , and Mr. Harris , with
' reluctance , said ho was compelled to respect
' the request * of these senators , and would ,
therefore , postpone his request to proceed
under the flvo-mlnuto rule until tomorrow.
The senate , at 5:50 : , went Into executive
session and shortly afterwards adjourned.

Committee on Currency About to Vrapnro n
Comprehontlva Mrnntro.
WASHINGTON , Juno 13. Representative
Walker of Massachusetts , a veteran member
of the committee on banking and the senior
republican member of the committee , says
that In his opinion the question of banking
and currency about to bo matured into a
comprehensive system by a select committee -
too of five members , under a recent vote of
the banking committee , Is the most Important
subject before congress , w > t second to the
tariff. Sealed ballots are now being filed
for the purpose of selecting the committee
of five. Each member of the banking com
mitted has n vote and names five of his
associates on the committee. The seals will
bo broken Frlduy , and the members having
the largest number of votes will constitute
the select committee. Mr. Walker .has
urged that no votes bo given to himself or
to Messrs. Springer , Warner or Sperry , as
each of them has a banking bill to which
they naturally would be Inclined. The en
tire purpose of forming the select committee
Is to break away from the present bills and
to got up a broad banking system with uuoh
good features of all the bills as may recom
mend themselves.
The committee of flvo will sit continuously ,
said Mr. Walker , with a view of reporting
their work to the house by the 27th Inst. to
Insure positive results. Recent discussion In
the house and In committee has made the
substantial feature of the system reasonably
cortdln. It will be In the direction of na
tional currency and national banking , and
away from the state banking , and based on
gold and silver Instead of bondi. The gen
eral dcslro Is to create a system of national
banks which ( hall proceed along lines par
allel to the present national banks. The lat
ter will be merged gradually Into and ab-
torbed by the new system. As the charters
fit the old bank * expire they will be given
charters under tha now banking system.
Thus the old and new systems can proceed
In parallel lines without any disarrangement
of either system.
Mr , Walker was asked what the now tiys-
tem of banks would have to do with the Is
suance of money. "Tho bill undoubtedly
will provide for doing away with the various
forms of currency now Issued and the sub
stitution therefor of a uniform paper money
lisued by the gotcrment through the banks.
At present the government 'circulates treas
ury notes , greenbacks , silver certificates and
various kinds of currency and the govern
ment undertakes to make good this rnonty.
Hut the purpose will bo to make the national
ban * s the solo source of Issuing currency
under government supervision and direction.
The government thus will be relieved of the
burden of Issuing , circulating and currently
redeeming these various forms of currency
and the entire responsibility will bo placed
on the banks. This national bank currency
would bo surrounded with all the safeguard *
of the present law and such other safeguards
ns would Insure proper redemption. In short ,
the federal government will bo relieved of
direct attention to the Issuance of money
and all responsibility for keeping It 'good
money * and yet will Insure the public that
every dollar Issued by the national banks Is
good and redeemable the country over. "
"Can such a measure bo passed at the
present session ? " Mr. Walker was asked.
"Possibly not , " said ho , "but It will servo
n valuable purpose to business. The mere
fact that Riicli a comprehensive measure fern
n nationalized currency can bo reported and
put on the calendar will have a salutary
effect In business nnj banking circles. It
will bo In shape , also , to bo taken up at
the next session of congress. The recent do ;
bate on state banks has been ono of the
most beneficial from an educational point of
view wo have had In twenty years. It has
cleared the way for a safe , sound and con
servative system of nationalized banks and
currency. " _ ,
Amending the Income Tux Kciituro.
WASHINGTON , Juno 13. Senator Vest
today gave notice of an amendment to the In
come tax section of the tariff bill which would
exempt from the operations of the Income
tax all fraternal and benevolent organiza
tions. Ho said ho believed the bill as It now
stood would do that , but In order to make
It perfectly plain this amendment would be
added.
1'liimn for the 1'ulthfiil.
WASHINGTON , Juno 13. The president
today sent the following nominations to
the senate :
To bo consuls of the United States : John
B. Gorman of Georgia , at Matamoras , Max. ;
John II. Miller of Kentucky , at Port Stan
ley , Falkland Islands.
1A1IOU'S
All Was Ilnrmnny at the St. I.ouls Congress
Resolutions Adopted.
ST. LOUIS , Juno 13. Before adjourning
last night the conference of the leaders of
the American Federation of Labor , Knights
of Labor , the three railway brotherhoods
and the Farmers alliance adopted resolu
tions to the effect that a conference of rep
resentatives of organized labor of North
America shall bo held seml-annually , the
first conference to bo held February 22 next
at Washington ; declaring against dual or
ganization In any trade or calling and that
In all matters of trade conflicts , boycotts
and trade labels the union particularly 'n-
terested shall have absolute authority and
autonomy ; and also urging the working
mass to throw off the yoke of political par-
tlzanshlp and vote Independently.
It was also decided that each organiza
tion submit the proceedings of the conven
tion to their rcspectlvo organization for
action later , to report to a provisional com-
mlttco of three to publish proceedings and
arrange for the next conference. Messrs.
Sargent of the Firemen , Magulro of the
Federation and Hays of the Knights of
Labor were chosen as this committee.
About 800 worklngmen gathered later at
the Grand opera house to listen to ad
dresses by prominent leaders. Among them
was Samuel Gompera of the Federation of
Labor , who alluded to the successful ter
mination of tke minors' troubles , which , ho
said , will have a salutary effect on all labor
organizations. "Tho opportunity for work
ers Is nearer today than ever before. In a
short tlnie you will see a movement that
will surprise not only our enemies but our
most sanguine friends. On election day
leave the old parties ; they have never done
any good for the wage earner and they
never will. "
Speaking of the conference today A. S.
Leltch of the Union Record said : "This
meeting will not result In amalgamation ,
but Is ono of the necessary steps toward
that end. Everything tends that way. The
labor world Is satisfied that consolidation of
its forces Is the only way to got the recogni
tion that labor should have. Last April
there was a mooting something like this one ,
hold In Philadelphia , Joseph R. Buchanan ,
the well known eastern labor leader , being
chairman.
' "For several years there has been tall : of
uniting the Knights of Labor and the Ameri
can Federation , but no action has been taken.
The purpose of this conferonoe was to force
the Issue and demand that these rival or
ganizations shall come together and unite
for concerted action. The session was har
monious and the delegates seemed to be
unanimous for ono organization , but It did
not come.
"Buchanan wanted Immediate action , and
ho was opposed by the. . more conservative
clement , and the conference ended In a reso
lution being passed that the Knights of
Labor and the American Federation of Labor
meet and dovlso some plan whereby all labor
organizations could be placed under ono
head. This meeting Is the result of that
resolution. Another resolution was adopted
that If these two organizations failed to
act In this matter before July 2 , th chair
man bo empowered to call a conference of
all labor organizations In the country.
"So you can see oven If they do not decide
to consolidate now , It Is not Improbable
that such a. thine will take place before the
summer Is over. I think that if such a
meottng were called and an organization
effected , the American Federation would Join
In a body. This now organization would
unite all the railway employes who at pres
ent are not affiliated with either of these
two bodies. Besides the bricklayers and
other largo organizations would como In so
5-ou can readily sco what a powerful organi
zation there would bo for a starter. From
the way things look I think something of
this kind will bo done. I have every reason
to bcllevo that the result of these meetings
will bo ono grand , mighty labor orgaulza.

STATE UNIVERSITY ClOSE
Commencement Services Attended by n Largo
Crowd at Lincoln ,
PROF , HERRON'S ' ANARCHISTIC ADDRESS
Governor Crounso Compelled to Vigorously
Except to the HcntlmenU of tbo Iowa
Collegian on tlio Subject of "A.
New Political Vision. "
LINCOLN , Juno 13. ( Special to The Ceo. )
The twenty-third annual commencement of
the Nebraska State university took place at
the Lansing theatre this forenoon. The ox-
crclsos wcro to commence at 10 o'clock , but
every seat In the largo auditorium was taken
long before that time and standing room was
at a high premium. Never before In the
history of the Institution has popular Interest
been so manifest. There were a great many
Interested visitors from all over the state and
the stage was filled with distinguished
guests. The musical numbers on the pro
gram were well rendered and highly appre
ciated , but the feature of the forenoon was
the address of Prof. George llcrron of Iowa
college at Qrlnnell , Prof. Hcrron's oration
was upon the subject of "A New Political
Vision , " and during the course of his ad
dress lie took an advanced position upon the
economics of the day. So radical were his
views that those of his audience who fol
lowed him closely were almost breathless
with astonishment. Speaking of the effort
this afternoon ono of the members of the
Nebraska supreme court sold that Prof , llor-
ron was the most polished anarchist who hai
visited Lincoln for some time ; that the ad
dress was a plea for socialism In Its most
radical form , and although couched In the
polished tones of the orator the principles
enunciated were none the less anarchistic ,
and therefore all the more dangerous. At
the close of Prof. Hcrron's address Governor
Crounso took the stage and In a brief , vig
orous style registered his exceptions to the
sentiments expressed by the loua collegian.
A brief and unsatisfactory summary of Prof.
Hcrron's remarkable address Is as follows :
"Tho people today are looking for now
political conditions. Civilization Is a vast ,
undisciplined army , yet conscious of a uni
versal change. The people are not angry ,
but are disturbed by sorrow and anxiety.
The world Is full of discontent and moving
toward revolution. The race is learning
that It Is not an aggregation of Individuals ,
but a union Into one body. The association
of men In justice Is now the aim of politics.
The whole trouble is du * to the want of
common unity of aim. We must have poli
tics which , bring universal harmony and
prcgress.
"The state must be the Invisible Incarna
tion of an Invisible power. Liberty is but
a means to an end. It liberty moans no
moro than to fight each other for Individ
ual gain It Is a failure. It must bo an asso
ciation of men with each other. There ore
not two kinds of right , ono for the state and
the other for the Indlvadual. If thcro is a
principle of right In the universe It is al
ways right. The most significant fact in
society today Is that It turns to Christ as
the ideal for humanity. It this Ideal could
be attained it would bring unity of the
masses. The living Christ Is the King of
America , and the Christian state will be the
only organized democracy.
"Americans ore not democratic either
socially or politically. In a pure democracy
the people will be their own reprosentathos.
The Christian state will bo the organized
economy of the people. The great trouble
with our system of government Is the over
production of mMdlo men. The system of
wages Is a system of slavery. There can
be no equality until there are no more hire
lings. The aim of the law Is the education
of men In these questions which unite them
In the right. At no tlmo slnco the ago of
the Roman state has law received so much
attention as today , and yet all know there
is no justice In the courts. If there Is
anarchy everywhere It has Its origin In the
courts.
"God sent this American nation to bo on
oxomplo to all other nations" of the1 earth.
Wo have failed. Wo have forsaken our
trust. Wo are a fallen nation. Except the
nation repent It cannot survive. We must
prepare the way for the Christian state and
for the kingship of God. "

hotel hero as N. E. Leaoh of Lincoln , and
called for one of then best rooms In the

day he began to cultivate ! , the acquaintance
of the Insurance men , aud the school pro
fessors , especially the fatter , representing
that ho was for several years principal of
the schools at Humboldt , but for some tlmo
past has been rcpre entlng a llfo Insurance
company. In a short time , on the strength
of being a fellow professor and some excel
lent recommendations which ho carried , ho
succeeded In securing n temporary loan , "just
for a tow days until he could receive a re
mittance , " from the county superintendent
of public Instruction of Saline county and
the principal of the public schools of Wit
her to the extent of $20 each. In a few
days ho was Joined by n . woman
of . the brunette typo and of robust
physique. They passed as man and wlfo and
appeared to enjoy each other's society ns
though they had Just been reunited after a
long separation. Though little of the man's
tlmo was occupied In filling out applications
for llfo Insurance , the couple appeared to bo
enjoying tholr visit to Wllber and were evi
dently preparing for n protracted stay , when
suspicion was aroused by a former acquaint
ance of the Insurance man falling to recog
nize his traveling companion as the Mrs.
Leach ho used to know. Then the profes
sors who had advanced the cash became
anxious and n close watch was kept on the
couple. Monday they attempted to sneak
out of town on the southbound train with
out settling the board bill , when the man
was gently detained by the city marshal.
The woman appeared to be much chagrined
over the Incident , but remained until the
next train. The principal nnxlety of the
man appeared to be to keep any mention of
the matter from getting Into the papers. Ho
was kept tinder surveillance until last even

board bill and was allowed to depart , which
he did by the next train going north.

Why is it
that Murray & Lanman's
Florida Water is called the
"Universal Perfume" ?
For a two-fold reason.
It is universal in its uses :
delightful in the Bath , on
the Handkerchief , and for
all purposes of the Toilet.
It is also universal in its
popularity : the blonde
Beauty of the North , her
ruddy sister of Southern
climes , the almond-eyed
Houri of the East , and
the ultrafashionable Belle
of the Western world ,
all pay homage to
that matchless perfume
