" The senator spent the entire afternoon In the office of the decretory of the senate , looking up parliamentary law bearing upon the question of the ndmlssablllty of an amendment of the character of his , and fortifying himself to rcilst the point of order which would bo mndo against his motion that a senate amendment , to a bill cannot bo entertained under the rules when a bill Is In conference. There Is very little doubt that this point , when made , will be sustained by the chair. Senator Harris has Raid that If ho li In the chair when the point Is made ho will sustain It. In case of an appeal from the decision It Is under stood that the republicans will vote with a majority of the democrats to sustain the decision. They say that while they will vote for the original motion If put , they will not oppose by their votes a ruling of the chair which they believe will be right. In the event that the chair In sustained , It would appear that there would bo nothing for the senate to do but either to give In structions for recession from the entire amendments , or to Instruct Its conferees to stand by the senate bill. However , thcro are mysterious hints of dther means of setting Instructions to the conference on the subject of the differential duty on Sugar. It Is posslblo that other ex pedients will bo tried , but what they will be no one has undertaken to Kay. As to the general situation In the senate \vlth reference to the tnrllT bill and the feeling caused by the president's letter. It does not appear to have materially changed since yesterday. A largo majority of the democratic senators are working hard to bring about an agree ment. It Is even Intimated that an effort 1ms been made to bring the president and dome of the conservative senators together. It docs not appear , however , that the men who are most largely responsible for the senate bill In Its present shape have shown any disposition to change from their former exactions , and unless the peacemakers make rapid headway between this time and Monday Iho prospect Is good for another day of very animated speeches In the senate. sii : : i.i < ; nr.

' Senators who put In an appearance at all went about their business as though nothing un- 'usual had occurred , and all professed as much Ignorance as to the probable outcome of the entanglement as the veriest outsider Thcra Is fttllt great uncertainty In the minds ot senators , not only as to the ultimate out come , but as to the probable procund- IIIB3 In the Immediate future. There aic aba differences of opinion as to whether a demo cratic caucus will bo called for the purpose of trying to reach an understanding. There Is no doubt that the conservative leaders have discussed among themselves the advisability of such a c.ineu.s. They have been together In groups of two , three and four a great deal of time since the adjournment of the bcnato last night , but they are all reticent as to the tenor of their talk among them selves , or as to their plans for the future.

Ti& ! conferees on the tariff bill are not only required to meet dissensions In their own ranks , but It appears are also com pelled to receive threats of personal violence from person1 ? on the outside.

The members of the committee pny no attention to the letters as a rule and generally consign them to the waste basket without loss of time. There has been a persistent rumor about the capital today that the conservative dem ocratic senators have been In conference , and that they adopted a plan under which steps were to be taktn to defeat the tariff bill , If. by 5 o'clock Monday , the senate did not definitely Instruct the tariff con ference to stand by the senate bill. Senator Hrlce , who Is regarded as the leader of this clement , pronouncJd the story as without foundation. Ho said It was true , however , that the conservatives had been a great deal together , and that they understood ono another perfectly. He said , furthermore , that so far as ho was concerned ho had decided to support Mr. Vllns In his cafort to have the sugjr differ ential stricken out of the bill , and added that as the sugar schedule was a measure he saw no reason why the administration should not have Us own way now. Ho added that If Insistence upon this course should result In the defeat of the bill , ns he thought It might , the conservative democrats would not bo responsible for that result. It does not now appear that there Is any prospect of an early democratic caucus In the senate. Senator Gorman says there will bo no democratic caucus between this and the time of assembling Monday. The republican advisory committee ot the senate held a meeting today for the pur pose of an exchange of views upon the pies- ent situation In the senate with regard to the tariff. The opinion was generally ex pressed among senators present that the democratic situation was very delicate , and It Is understood that a decision was reached that It would not bo Improved from a re publican standpoint by the Interference of republican senators ; hence they will advise members of their party to allow tha demo cratic senators to continue to do the greater part of the talking In the senate on the subject of the tariff so long ns they will do so. It Is understood that the committee discussed the attitude ot the republicans who were opposed to the differential sugar duty and concluded to advise that the re publican senators would vote solidly to strike It out. If they should have the oppor tunity to do so. KxpiTt T.Ittlo MiilifH .SliutlliiR ; AIIIKIIIIILO. incuts to Iti > riiiil7itlon ! Committee. Ni\V YORK. July 21. The World will say tomorrow : The meeting of the Atchlson , Topeka & Santa Fe reorganiza tion commltteo Friday developed an astound ing surprise. It had been expected that expert Little would make his financial re port , which would about agree with the committee's estimates , and the reorganiza tion plan could bo put forth complete In every detail. Mr. Little , however , did not make his report. Instead ho "said that while ex amining the books he found evidence of figure-juggling In the matter of rebates to freight shippers. The amount was very large , and Instead of being charged to the proper expense account , had been shifted to other channels , so the statements of Income and earnings were Incorrect. An explanation was Immediately demanded and the fact elicited that two sots of books were kept , one In the west and one In the east. Mr. L'ttle had evidently examined the west ern books. Where It was necessary the changes were properly made on the eastern books , on which public statements were based. Upon receiving this reply Mr. Llt- tlo was ordered to look Into the eastern bosks. lie has lightly ran over them and late last evening the following statement was made bv Secretary Kobbo of the reor- galiatlon committee : The socrctniy of the Atchlson reorganiza tion committee makes the following state ment in behalf of the commltteo : Mr. Little has returned ; he has had every opportunity to examine the books of the company and of the receivers. He has not been able to complete hln report , but he states that during the period from July , 18S9 , the date of the last reoiganl/.atlon , to December , 1893 , the date of the appointment of the receivers , the Income of the company has , In his opinion , been overestimated In an aggregate amount ing to about $7,000,000.

WASHINGTON nunnAU or Tim nnn , 1107 V Street , N.V. . , WASHINGTON , D. C. , July 21. The congressional authorities on emigra tion laws nro much exercised over the passage - ago of Representative William A. Stono's Immigration bill In the house yesterday , while most of the members were watching the exciting scenes In the senate. The Stone bill Is far reaching In Its effect on the sys tem of Inspecting Immigrants , as the cntlro Inspection Is transferred to foreign ports and placid In the hands of United States consuls Instead of waiting for the Inspection nt Now York and other ports when the Immigrants arrive In this country. "I expect to BCD the bill taken up by the senate at an early day and passtO , " said Mr. Stone , "and already several senators who recognize the evils of Immigration have slgnlllod their purpose to urge It to a speedy passage. The present Immigration law has proved a failure. Immigrants keep coming without rcfcrenco to the restrictions. The system Is wrong , as It leaves the Im migrant to furnish all the Information on which ho Is received or rejected. " "No , " said he , In reply to a question , "efforts have been made to so change the bill as to let the Treasury department appoint the foreign Inspectors. Sucli a change wculd neccssltatu the creating of a largo force of olllceholdcrs. Hut as the bill stands the United States consuls , who are not over.- burdencd with work , will have charge of the Inspection. " It Is understood that Senators Davis , Chandler and Quay will particularly Interest thenibelves In the Stone bill with alcw to Its early adoption. MCIKLEJOHN TALKS OP HIS DILL. Representative Melklejohn , speaking In re gard to his bill providing a tax of $100 on each alien Immigrant , said today : "When the population of this nation Increases by moro than COO.OOO of foreign Immigrants an nually , the limitation of foreign Immigration has become a question of national impor. tancc. Wo have developed our natural re sources and sustained the standard of American wages through the levying of a duty on manufactures of foreign labor. "Wages are subject to the law of supply and demand and wage earners are as much Interested In preserving our field of labor for the American waga worker as In the protection of the products of his labor from the competition of the foreign manufacturer The policy of placing a duty on Importations of the product of foreign workmen at a rate sufllcient to equalise the difference between our domestic and foreign cost of labor has established an incomparable scale of wages In this nation for our wage earners and which , in my Judgment , can only be main tained by extending the same beneficent policy to the Immigration of foreign laborers. "The bill which I have proposed exempts all relatives of any American citizen or any person who has declared his intention to become such , who may deslro to immigrate to the United States , while a duty of JlOO per capita Is levied upon all other alien Immi grants. Every citizen , whether native or foreign born , Is alike Interested In keeping from our shores the class of Immigration which this measure would prohibit. " GOHMAN HOLDS THE KCY. The cause of the alleged revenue- reform seems to entirely rest in the hollow of the hurjd of the senipr senatqr from Maryland. Arthur Puo Gorman has been a politician all his life. They used to put politics In his milk when he was pulling along on a bottle. At the time when ho wore long clothes and howled at night for his father to rock him , or walk with him , ho was studying politics ; studying how to make his gray-haired father profane. He succeeded. When he was a youth ho studied how to get an appointment as a page In the senate , and he succeeded In early manhood he studied how to get from a pageship to a scnatorship , and ho suc ceeded. In 1884 ho schemed to get the presi dency for Cleveland , after Blalne had been elected , and he succeeded. In 1888 he schemed how to elect Hill to the governor ship of New York , and defeat Cleveland , who had offended him , for the presidency , and ho succeeded. In 1892 he participated in a national campaign which succeeded In electIng - Ing Mr. Cleveland a second time to tha presi dency. In 1891 ho undertook to usurp the constitutional functions of the house of rep resentatives In the formation of a revenue bill ; and he succeeded. This Iconoclastic legislative Warwick Is as smooth externally us he Is Intel nally. Ho Is always clean-shaven , and his hair is parted and patted by a perfect artist. His smile Is an alabaster poem. His Intellectual machinery works with the smoothness and perfection of a Corliss engine. He la such a man as Casslus was , of whom Julius Caesar said : "Such men are dangerous. " Ho could walk across a floor thickly strewn with eggs without cracking a single shell. But , if bj accident , a calcareous covering should crack , suspicion would be diverted from Gorman and rest upon Vest or some other aggres sive follow who never touched an egg in his life. It was Gorman who manipulated the cntlro revenue bill ; but Sugar trust suspi cion was directed toward any other senator than himself. At the present time , how ever , everybody knows that Arthur Puo Gor man Is the manipulator of the senagamblan In the woodpile. He Is the master marplot of his party , and has been for moro than a decade. There will be no revenue bill , save such as pleases Gorman. That tells the whole story. CAIIEY MAY GET PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Senator Carey of Wyoming today secured the Insertion of a clause In the sundry civil appropriation bill making provision for the purchase of sites and the erection of public buildings In Cheyenne , Helena and Bolso City. Under ordinary circumstances every appropriation bill making ptovlsion for public buildings must stand upon Its own merits and cannot be Inserted In any of the great national appropriation bills. A pre cedent was established several years ago , however , by the venerable octogenarian Sena tor Morrlll of Vermont , who secured nn ap propriation for a publlo building at Mout- pellcr , the capital of his state , In the sundry civil appropriation bill. This precedent was taken advantage of afterwards by Senator Cockrell of Missouri , who secured an appro priation In a similar manner for a public building nt Jefferson City , the capltol of the btato of Missouri. Senator Carey of Wyoming having ascertained these facts made use of them before the committee on ap propriations and was reinforced In his argu ments by the senators from Idaho and Mon tana. So urgent and persistent were the de mands of these senators that the senate com. mltteo on appropriations yielded to their Im portunities and Incorporated the clause lu tha bundry civil appropriation bill for the pur pose of giving public buildings to the capitals of Wyoming. Montana and Idaho. Senator Carey also today secured an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill which provides that the governor of a sttito having public lands may call on the surveyor general to make surveys of town ships in which the state desires to make selections for Its land grants. In case thuro U nn money remaining unexpended In the approprl illon for publlo surveys , then the state may advance the money , and the United States shall reimburse the atato by an appropriation of money for that purpose at the next session of congress , HARD LINES FOH BANK EMBEZZLERS. Congressman Bryan has secured the pas sage of bis bill Increasing the penalties for embezzlement by national bank qdicers. This bill mikes tha penalty not less than ten years and not more than twenty years where the sum embezzled U moro than $100,000. A. Q. Creenlua of Lincoln Is hero for a faw days.

The senate sugar Investigating comm'lUco resumed Us work to day In the old tlnYe 'manner. Only Senators Gray , Lindsay and "Davis of the committed wore present , but they had several witnesses bcforo them , and announced a determination to proceed with liio work so long as thcro was any possibility of securing witnesses who would furnish any testimony. The most Important witness of the day was Henry Rood , the New York Herald re porter , who wrote the articles In that paper upon which tbo present branch of the In quiry Is based. Mr , Rood was examined at length as to the source of his Information , and special effort was made by the mem bers to get the best Information at Mr. Rood's command as to his statements that United States senators had boon speculating In Sugar stock since the tariff bill was taken up In the senate , despite their dentals. It Is understood that Mr. Hood responded to this request as fully as he was able to do and expressed a willingness to aid the committee to the extent of his ability. It was Impossible to secure the details of the testimony. When Senator Gray was asked for a statement as to the proceed ings he replied that he could say nothing , and that It wa > the Intention off the com mittee not to give out itny Information ns to the testimony until the present branch of the Inquiry was completed. The reason given for taking this position Is that the publication of the ( acts elicited would In terfere with the plans of the committee and would prevent ns complete an Inquiry as they desire to make. Today's wit nesses , therefore , wore all warned that they were on the same plane as witnesses before a grand jury , and warned against di vulging the proceedings to any one. Other witnesses of the day were W. B. Wheeler , a Now York broker , and A. M. Sclp of this city. Mr Wheeler stated to the committee that ho had never placed any orders for senators for Sugar stock and was unable to glvo any Information. Mr. Selp has been represented In the newspapers as raying that he had come into possession of knowledge of rho fact that a certain senator had placctl orders fur Sugar stocks during the spring and to have stated that It was placed with a man then ic pre senting the firm of Seymour , Young & Co. , Now York brokers. tii-iivius' : roviits. ; . Itccolvarn Appointed by United States Courts Alimt Pay Stuto Taxes. WASHINGTON , July 21. The house has passed without opposition the bill from the judiciary committee fixing the status of state and municipal taxation on property In the hands of receivers appointed by United States courts. The bill provides that taxes heretofore or hereafter assessed by state , county or municipal authority against any corporations or corporate property shall not bo classed as debt to be passed upon In the first Instance by. , any. court of the United States , but shall , pa rqollectlble In the first Instance by the proper , authorities , according to the assessment , whether the corporation Is In the hands ota receiver or not , and no judge or court ot the United States shall have any other nu.lhqrlty to enjoin , restrainer or Interefero wltlj the , collection than If no receivership existed , and the seizure as well as the sale of property for taxes shall divest the receiver and . .court of control. It pro vides that property seized for taxes and not sold shall be retur eJ to the receiver , and that the corporatfon or receiver shall have the right of a citizen to apply for the abate ment of a tax or'sue , or defend against an Improper assessment In courts having juris diction. This bllf , . If1 , It becomes a law , will settle soma of the , disputes in South Carolina lina between the , s'tute and federal authorities concerning the taxation of railroad property now In the custddy'of federal courts. The most important railroads In this state are managed by receivers appointed by United States Judges. Two years ago , acting on the advice of judges , the railroads refused to pay the full amount of taxes levied by the state commissioners , holding the appraisal of the property to bo excessive , but tendered the amounts which the Judges held to be fair. Three state constables , who attempted to enforce the collection ordered by the state board , were fined $500 each for contempt of court. The state paid their fines , and re cently the house Judiciary committee reported a bill to refund the amount , $1,500 , to the state. Governor Tillman came to Washington and addressed the Judiciary committee In favor of that bill and advocated a measure of the effect of the one passed. The bill was reported by a strictly party vote , but passed without opposition. IIV DIKUCT VOTK OV THIS House liosnHes on a Change In the Election of Hrimtors. WASHINGTON , July 21. There was a very slim attendance of members when the speaker called the house to order today. Mr. Bowers demanded the regular order , which was the resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution providing that senators shall bo elected by direct vote of the people. Although a two-thirds vote Is required for measures amending the constitution , the pending resolution was passed , 137 to 49 thirteen votes to spare. The announcement of the result was re ceived with democratic applause. The house disagreed to the senate amend ments on the Indian appropriation bill , and Messrs. Holman , Allen and Wilson of Wash ington were appointed conferees. The bill to repay to West Virginia the di rect tax levied by the act of August C , 1801 , and the bill for the reinstatement of clerks dismissed from the railway mall service between March 15 and May 1 , 1891 , was taken up. Under the special order adopted for the bill the previous question was to bo ordered at t o'clock. The bill provides that the postmaster general may reinstate without examination or certification by the civil bcrvlco commission any person who was dis missed from the railway service between March 15 and May 1 , 1891 , or who was dis missed from tha service after the last named date upon any order made prior thereto. Mr. Bynum , democrat , of Indiana spoke In favor of the bill. The bill failed to pass on account of the lack ot a quorum , and at 3.55 the house adjourned. TOOK A MATCH IN.Till : bTOIti : ItOOSI.
