THE OMAHA DAILY BEEt THURSDAY , JULY 2B , 1894. 5 SENATE PROCEEDINGS TAME Exertions of the Previous Days Had Evidently Ezhanstcd Their Ginger. CAFFERY FINISHES HIS TALK ON SUGAR Alton Aik * Hi" Department of Juntlca ( or Coplr * at All Orders nml Tclrgrxnii .Sent During the I.nto Hall way Strike. WASHINGTON , July 25. In the morning hour of the Bciiato tlio report on the legis lative , oxcciitlvo ana Judicial appropriation bill was agreed to. Mr. Allen presented a resolution directing the attorney general to transmit to the Ren- ate lull copies of all correspondence ( tele graphic and otherwise ) which passed be * twoen the Department of Justice and the railroads centering In Chicago from Juno 1 to the present time. He aslted Immediate consideration , but Mr. I'latt objected , and It went over. Mr. Vest , In the absence of Mr. Voorhecs , chairman of the flnanco committee , who Is III , called up the conference report on the tariff bill , lie Immediately yielded to Mr. Cooke of Texas , who secured the passage by unanimous consent of a bill granting the Arkansas , Texas & Mexican Hallway com pany right of way through the Indian terri tory. tory.At At 10:05 : Mr. Caffery took the floor and resumed the speech commenced yesterday afternoon. Mr. Caffery plunged Immediately Into the discussion of the- complicated methods of refining sugar In Louisiana , which sugar went Into competition with the sugars refined by the trust. Ho contended that the bounty provision of the MoKlnley law prevented the extensive refining of sugar by the producer. lie maintained that an rtd valorem rate of 45 per cent would furnish sulllclent protection both to the pro ducer and the refiner. He predicted that the Louisiana cane grower , with the new facilities coming Into use , would In a decade - cado bo able to hold hln own against the sugar producers In the world. Louisiana , lie said , was a democratic Mate , and did not dcslro to stand In the way of tariff reform , but he Insisted that In marching to the goal of tariff reform his party should not trample the form of his prostrate state. Ho would not foul his own nest. If the tariff reform measure as prepared Infringed upon his Ideas of what It should be he should vote for It unless It struck down his own state. "Do you want a protective duty on sugar ? " asked Mr. Stewart of Nevada. "I don't , " replied Mr. Oaffery , "I want the duty on sugar laid purely for revenue pur poses. The question presented Is whether a great Industry , built up under a revenue tariff , shall be stricken down by u change of theory. " In concluding he said that while the posi tion taken by the Louisiana democrats may have somewhat nllcnated them from their democratic colleagues the fire of democracy still burned In their breasts , but If the tariff fefdrm was pushed too far he said they would bo compelled to vote against the meas ure. Ho also entered ah emphatic protest against the provision In the sugar schedule continuing lu force the Hawaiian treaty , ad- > milting sugar from those Islands free , which , he said , gave , the Sugar trust $6,000,000 annually. Mr. Cattery said that from the first ho had recognized the neces sity for compromise , and had voted for many amendments made that did not reflect his personal opinions In order to get a bill that would command forty-turee votes. Ho believed In a duty op coal and Iron for purely revenue purpo'scs , with such Inci dental protection as folldwcd. He applied the same doctrine to sugar that ho did to coal and Iron. Forty per cent on sugar he thought a fair revenue duty. He was In differential on refined favor of the one-eighth fined sugars. Mr. Quny of Pennsylvania gave notice of tiireo amendments ho should offer to tjjc pending motion , first to amend Mr. Vllas motion that the senate recede from the one- eighth differential In the sugar schedule seas as to recede from the whole of the sugar schedule. The second to add to Mr. Gray's motion that the senate Insist on all of Its amendments that It ftqedo from the sugar gcehdulo , and the third to add to Mr. Gray s motion another motion , viz : that It recede from the differential In favor of the refiners. At 2:33 : the senate went Into executive ses sion and an hour later adjourned. I10USK IJISCOMINO PACIFIC. Strong Sti ml of the Sounto Mny Hrlns tlio fiiwnr Jlouio toi * ICneiH. WASHINGTON , July 25. Secretary Car- llslo went to the house of representatives today and sought Speaker Crisp , who had llot yet arrived. It was the first time Mr. Carlisle had been at the house In some rndtitlfs' , although he has betm a frequerjt VtJitor at the senate during the tariff strug- gl , On learning that Mr. Crisp would not arrive for some time the , secretary said that engagements at the treasury would prevent him from waiting , and the meeting was de ferred. Chairman Wilson's arrival from tVrist Virginia last night gave further ground fg- the generally crossed belief that the iiouso would not remain entirely passive hllo the sonata had nominal possession of th,4 entlro tariff controversy. Among members of the house the feeling Is strong that the end of the tariff light Is not far off. In analyzing the struggle from the house point of view members say there Is no longer the Incentive for a prolonged and determined resistance by the house. The representatives who had talked of holding out nil summer did so because of their views on sugar. Hut the contest has changed form materially , It Is argued , since the president's letter and at present the main bentlment of the house Is for frco Iron and coal. In this contention there Is not that determination ap parent In the one that there was In the for mer Issue. On the contrary , many promi nent members , Including some who ore classed us radical free traders , have let It bn known that frco Iron ere and free coal ore not worth the conflict they are causing. This and the desire to tet homo to their congres sional districts Is the most noticeable ten dency toward n settlement. There Is no Indication , however , that this feeling Is shared by Speaker Crisp or Chair man Wilson. WliVTKHN P11NS1ONH. Vctvrnna of tlio I.utu AVar Homemborcd by tlio flunoritl ClovcriiiiiPiit.

The secretary of the United States embassy stated that the resolutions of condolence of the house and senate were read In the French Chamber of Deputies and Senate' amid great enthusiasm. The confirenco report on tha legislative , cxtcutlva and judicial appropriation bill was lead bcfora the house and gave rise to con siderable discussion , principally on the clause Riving the commissioners of ponMons 1250,000 ( a compromise between the $200,000 ot the house and $300,000 of the senate ) for mak ing special examinations. The report was agreed to and at 5:05 : the house adjourned. A KM OK 1'I.ATK INVUVTIOATIOX I.Untcnnnt Hlono Drew Par from Cnrncglo nml tlio ( lovcrrnicnt. WASHINGTON , July 23. Lieutenant Charles A. Stone ot the retired list of the navy , who has been for three ycara ordnance officer for the Carnegie company , was the first witness at the armor plate Investigation today. His duties , ho said , were the witnessIng - Ing of ballastlc trials and generally as techni cal adviser. When asked for the results of the recent government trials of platen 4G9 , C31 and C1D , ho demurred on the ground that ho had been present by courtesy of the gov ernment , but finally consented. The top halves of the first two plates , he said , failed by a narorw margin of the requirements for obtaining a premium , while the lower halves failed by a wide margin. In the case of the third plate the top half secured a premium and the bottom half failed. The bottom half , other tilings being equal , was generally con sidered the better piece , he eald. The lieutenant had been on the retired list since last December , ho said. He had been employed by the Carnegie company three years , drawing pay from the government and from the Carnegie company both , until ho was placed on the retired list. Chairman Cummlngs asked : "Did you ever make any reports. In other words , do anything for the government In that line ? " "Only by helping to secure good armor plate. " He explained that Lieutenant Mclgs was not employed at Detlilehem under the same arrangement. The lieutenant considered the ballastlc text the only critical one for trying armor plate , although the physlclul test was valuable as a guide , taken In connection with the ballastlc test. Regarding the plates , he said that the opinion was gaining ground that nickel steel armor required no treatment and was as good without the oil tempering 1 process as with It. The tests were for the purpose of bringing all plates to a uniform quality , he said. He thought the superintendent did wrong In making false reports , and If they had re ported the different treatments with the reasons there would have been no trouble. Commodore Sampson , chief of the ordnance bureau , will be summoned as the next witness. Chairman Cummlngs said the committee will visit Homestead within a week , spending one day at the Carnegie works. _ WITMCSS ItKl'UsKI ) TO ANSwIjIt.

Allison were before the Sugar trust investigating committee this morning. Mr. Seymour declined to answer the question put to him as to the purchase of sugar stock by members of the senate , and as to his knowledge of the existence of an order for such stock which former witnesses testified had been made through his firm In the name of Senator Camden , pleading that the committee nad no power to compel him to reveal tlio names of his patrons. Mr. Allison's testimony was Important as corroborative of the statement of Messrs. Qulllardcau , Levy and other witnesses. While the details of his testimony cannot bo given , he stated positively that ho- had seen the Camden order. Another witness of the day was George Druce , a New York broker. It Is under stood that he testified to having seen an qlleged order for the purchase of sugar stock Which purported to have been given by Senator Camden , and to have also seen a photograph and an electrotype of it.

As Mr. Carlisle came away ho was asked If the conference related to the tariff. "No , " said he , "I wished to see the speaker on the free ship bill and a bill con cerning the revenue marine service , and the tariff was not discussed In any way. There Is no slgnlllcanco In my seeing the speaker beyond my deslro to expedite these two leg islative matters. " Speaker Crisp said tonight that no pro gram or plan of action on the tariff , so far as the house was concerned , had been , or would bo outlined until the senate had acted on tlio question of sending the bill back to conference.

ROCK COUNTY'S ' RELIEF FUND Supreme Court Asked to Pass on a Question of Interest. DESTROYED A HAPPY LINCOLN FAMILY Pathetic 1'cntnro of tlio .Smallpox Sen re nt the Capital City Charged with Debauvlilnf ; n Child from llorlon , Kan. LINCOLN , July 25. ( Special to The Ilee. ) The members of the soldier * ' relief com mission ot Hock county and the Heard ot County Commissioners have filed a stipula tion of facts In the supreme court as a test case to try sections 4,455 and 4,457 of the Compiled Statutes ot Nebraska. The pe tition sets forth that the county commission ers allowed a levy of $200 for the soldiers' relief fund , but failed to turn over to the relief commission that amount , as the levy ot 1C mills was not sufficient to replenish all the various funds , and this one was not allowed the amount determined upon. The members ot the relief commission contend that under the statutes an additional levy of 3-10 mills can bo made , and It Is this point that the court Is called upon to de cide. cide.Tho The colored man Harrison and his two youngest children are still quarantined at the peat home , and It In now feared that his little daughter has contracted the dis ease. The health officer reports that she showed the symptoms this morning , but It could not bo told tor a certainty. Harrison has seen his wife and married daughter laid In the grave , while the man Bell , who fir t brought the disease In his family while vis iting them , has recovered und departed for Missouri , where ho resides. The husband and Ills little son and daughter are all that arc left of his once happy household , and It now seems that these , tco , will be taken from him. Only his strong constitution has kept him free from the disease thus far. A rather unpleasant duty devolved upon Chief Cooper last night when Frank Zeh- nuiK , the druggist , complained at the police headquarters that the Free Methodist woman , Mrs. Knox , and her daughter , who hold religious meetings In front of hi' store every evening , were becoming a nuisance , and that the crowd that congregated there- every evening Interfered with his business. The woman was not disposed to move along at his request , saying that It was God's will that she should stay there and that he could take them to Jail If he wished. They finally consented to go. however , and moved to the next corner. Mrs. Knox Is quite an aged woman , and has attracted much at tention from passersby by her fervent pray ers and earnest entreaties. RECAPTURED THE TRUSTY. It was learned by the warden of the peni tentiary this morning that Charles Miller , the trusty who escaped yesterday , spent the night at Wavcrly , and that he Is now on the road between this city and Omaha. He was sentenced for one year for burglary and had yet five months to serve. As he had gained the confidence of the warden he was made a trusty , and the privileges he enjoyed rendered It very easy for him to effect his escape. A man was arrested at Eagle last night who answered his description , but the warden failed to Identify him as the man wanted. Luther Batten , the man who claims he was fleeced by the two traveling physicians , Tucker and Goldberg , filed a petition In the district court this morning asking that the holders of the note which he turned over to them bo restrained from passing them off on Innocent parties. A similar petition was filed by J. H. Copperstone , who was also caught by the two fellows. They allege that there Is no such Institute In Des Molnes as the one the two men claim they represent ; that Tucker Is an Impostor and a travelling quack and has no physician's certificate. It Is understood that attorneys for Goldberg are preparing habeas corpus papers to have him iclcaseil , as there has been no Informa tion filed against him. D. F. PInneo , who was arrested on com plaint of Manager Humpe of the street car company for using loud language and dis turbing the peace , was discharged In police court this morning. Pinneo wanted to carry with him on the car a pair of shafts , to which the conductor objected , and he refused to get off the car when requested and was arrested. He claims that Humpe entertains a personal spite against htm. DEBAUCHED A CHILD. T. C. Qrlner , who has been representing himself as a traveling portrait artist for a Chicago firm , is under arrest at the police station , charged with outraging Daisy Hedge , a little 13-year-old girl who travels with him , soliciting and doing other work for him. They were arrested at the Mer chants hotel this afternoon , and when taken to the station Grlner protested that she was his wife. To the hotel people he claimed that she was his daughter , and to the police captain said that ho Intended to marry her In about two months. He says that the mother of the girl , who lives In Horton , Kan. , gave the girl to him , the understanding being that she was to solicit for him and that he was to marry her In about two months. They left Horton a week ago last Saturday and came to Lincoln. The girl admits that she was traveling with him with the consent of her mother , who , she says , Is a widow with five other children to support , which she docs by taking In washing. She Is a very bright little girl , but small for her age , which she says was 13 last April. She claims that Grlner has frequently outraged her since they have been ' In Lincoln. Grlner Is a tall , gaunt-looking man of not preposesslng appearance , and seems very much agitated over the scrape he had gotten Into. They occupied a large room at the hotel , partitioned off by a light cur tain , and It was here that they were ar rested. Detective Malone noticed the ac tions of the couple at Lincoln park last Sun day and his suspicions became aroused. After a little Investigation he determined that the man should bo In the lock-up and ho was landed at the station with as little ceremony as possible. UKSPKItATIi INDIAN OAPTUKKD.

Tobias Castor was In the city again yes terday , and , In accordance with his usual reticence , declined to discuss politics. In an off hand conversation which ho did not hold with a representative of The Bee , he gave no hint as to the exact date upon which the democratic state central committee would meet. "You may depend on It , " Mr. Castor did not aay , "that the commlttoo will not be called together until It will bo too late for a state convention to be called ahead of the populist state convention. This much has been decided upon In order to circumvent the carefully laid plans of the antl-ndmlnls- tratlon democrats In this state who are making considerable noise over the country districts at present. Another reason for a late convention Is the deplorable situation over the tariff question at Washington. The Nebraska democrats do not care to hold a convention until they can by their resolu tions encourage and assist the administra tion. tion."No "No , " Mr. Castor did not say , " the meet ing of the committee will not be deferred until September. It will bo held early In August , upon u date already practically de termined upon. It will meet either In Omaha or Lincoln , the majority of the com mittee not caring which of the two cities Is designated. "The personal sentiments of the Individual members of the committee have all been received with two exceptions , " Mr. Castor did not continue , "and these two exceptions cut no flguro In the general consensus of opinion. One of the members who has not been heard from Is E. F. Cashman of Greeley Center , who Is spending tlio bummer In Ireland. The other member who has not expressed himself Is the member from the Fifteenth district. The former member from that district , H. K. O'Neill of Broken Bow , has removed to Omaha , and his successor has not yet been regularly ap pointed , although I have heard that thn democrats of that district have themselves selected a member. This selection Is n little out of the usual order , as mcmhem of the state central committee are only selected at the state conventions or by the committee Itself. It Is barely possible that the gentle man who claims to bo the successor of Mr. O'Neill may not bo recognized by the com mittee. "Tho consensus of opinion as obtained from personal letters In my possession from all the members of the committee with those two exceptions , shows that twenty-four are opposed to an early convention , seven are In favor of a very early date. Those op. posed to the early convention are the follow ing members of the committee : J. J. McIntosh - Intosh , H. Gllkerson , J. B. Sheehan , J. F. Crocker , Jacob Rlgler , C. M. Ilubner , C. McIIugh , T. J. Shelbloy , II. C. I'helps , T. W. Smith , C. V. Pitcher , A. J. Sawyer. J. W. Farrell , D. W. Cook , F. 0 , Marshall , A. S , Campbell , Euclid Martin , John Dern , M. J. Hughes , C , J , Furer , R. K. Dunphy , T. Bradshaw and F. E. Dearborn. " "As to the seven kickers , " did not con tinue Mr. Castor , as a knowing imlle did not Illuminate his countenance , and as ho did not consult the little black memoran dum book which he did not draw from his Insldu pocket , "their names are easily ascer tained It you care to guess , but In order that you may ho accurate here they ore : Robert Clogg. F. J. Morgan , C. V. Gallagher , C. W. Pool , J. J. Holland , R. P. It. Millar and C. E , Starrott. "And finally , " as Mr. Castor did not arise to go , "you may say that the committee ap pointed by the late lamented free silver con ference to confer with the chairman of the state central committee with reference to the Immediate' calling of tno state conven tion , has failed to put In. an appearance , al though I have been Informed that It was notified by the chairman that he was ready to coufer with It , Probably It knew in advance that the conference would be of no benefit to It" This extin * ordinary Re- Constipation Dlzzmcts , Juveuator Is , . the Falling Sen. most wonderful satlonn.Ncrv- oiiatwltclilnfl discovery of the of the eyes ngo.
