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.

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.

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.

WASHINGTON , July 25. Mr. Seymour of
the brokerage firm of Seymour Dros. &
Young and W. O. 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.

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.

WHAT TOBIAS DID NOT SAY
How Ho Stuck to His Habit of Refusing to
Discuss Politics ,
DEMOCRATIC PLANS ALL GIVEN AWAY
Colonul Castor Fulls to Toll Alt About the
Coming Meeting of the State Cent rill
Committee nnd thn J.ntu or
J.'urly Stnto Convention.
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"
