WASHINGTON , May 28. After a long pe
riod ot alltt-ce Senator Tlllman startled the
senate today by a speech no leia dramatic
In Itn delivery than sensational In Ita al
legations. He preceded It by presenting a
resolution for the appointment ot a special
committee of five senators to Investigate
chargui of speculation by senators white the
tariff bill waa before the finance committee.
In advocating the resolution Mr. Tlllman
throw aside the usual conventionalities of the
senate and with a plainness or speech seldom
heard about the hills of congress called on
his associates to Investigate the published
charges of senatorial ipeculatlon , and If
found true to purge the senate of those
who debauched It. Mr. Aldrlch , In charge of
the tariff bill , answered Mr. Tlllman In a
sweeping denial. The Tlllman resolution , was
referred to the committee on contingent ex
penses of the senate.
Considerable progreis was made on the
tariff bill , thirteen pages being covered.
Eeveral votes were taken during the day.
but the finance committee bad a liberal ma
jority In every Instance. The democratic
members of the finance committee made a
strong effort to reduce the rates on window
glaia , but their amendments to this effect
were defeated. The bill will be considered
tomorrow , the usual Saturday recess being
abandoned.
abandoned.TILLMAN'S
TILLMAN'S RESOLUTION.
Mr. Tlllman's resolution quotes the- senate
resolution of May 17 , 1894 , authorizing the
original Inquiry , and then after reciting the
proceedings In the Chapman and Hnvenoyer
trials , proceeds :
Whereas , Within the last thirty days sun
dry newspaper correspondents have openly
charged senators with speculating In sugar
stocks while the sugar schedule Is under dis
cussion , and alao charged that brokers in
New York knew In advance as to what the
senate finance committee would report as to
the sugar schedule , all oc which Involves a
question ot the highest privilege , to-wlt :
the right of tlie senate to protect Its mem
bers from slander and to protect the bo V
as a whole from these optn charges of cor
ruption ; therefore be it
Resolved. That a committee of five be ap
pointed with power to send for persons and
papers ; to employ a stenographer ; to admin
ister oaths ; to inquire Into the truth or false
hood ot the charges made In May , 1S34 , and
Into the charges recently -made ; and the
scope of the investigation shall cover every
thing embraced in the resolution of May IT ,
1KH. as well as the methods pursued by the
American Sugar Htflnlng company , bettei
known as the Sugar trust. In controlllni :
legislation In It3 favor at the present time"
nnl - p clallr whether It haa In any -wist
contributed to or controlled the election-ol
a senator In this body at any time.
The presiding officer , 'Mr. Frye , promptly
ruled that the resolution should go to the
committee on contingent expenses , but Mr.
Tlllman obtained consent to make a state
ment :
TOLLMAN" SPEAKS.
"We have arrived at a time , " he began
"when the senate cannot longer afford tc
rest under the accusations made against
senators. It there are men here debauching
the senate , we should be purged of them
It these reports are slanders , the press galleries
lories should be purged. We cannot afford tt
lay back on our dignity any longer and saj
we will not Investigate. " .
It had heen charged , he said , that Preri'
dent Cleveland met the sugar magnates oc
a yacht and discussed the details of tht
schedule of the then pending tariff bill
There was nothing to fasten that damnlnr
accusation on the president , but Scnatoi
Jones of Arkansas had recently furnitlioi
evidence to thu effect that the prcslden :
told him the tnut should have a. quarter o
a cent a pound.
Mr. Joue-s quickly arcs ? and stated that 01
two oe-cas'ans ' Mr Cleveland had nald to bin
that ho thought the one-quarter of 1 per cen
on sugar waa necessary to American re
fineries , and that one-eighth of 1 per cen
would drive the refiners out of business.
Proceeding. Mr. Tlllman said It might bi
that Mr Cleveland desired to carry out ;
bargain , and It so the senate ought to fln <
It out.
Here Mr. Gray ot Delatrsre , chairman o
the former nugar Investigation committee
Interrupted. The statement , he said , that i
sugar EubeJulu had been madn up on Mr
Benedict's yacht when the president was 01
board with officers of .he Sugar trust was no
true and its falilty had oeen establish *
after the committee had probed the state
ment to the Attorn.
. Continuing , Mr. Tillman exclaimed : "Boll
parties are involved , and one is as dco litho
the mud as the othec ia > the mire. Yoi
know of the reports agaim certain member
of the old finance comrattu-e and nuw w
hsva more damning accusations against th
. * *
present committee.
PDTTUS WANTS PARTICULARS.
Mr Pettus of Alabama Interrupted to as !
Uir Tlllman not to deal in generalities , bu
to put a mark on the senators by name.
"That is what I want an inquiry for t
mark thcso men , " responded Mr. Tlllinai
"I do not want the poor man to suffer wall
the millionaire Is turned lee * ? . " t
After the protests from Mr. Pettus th ;
Mr Tlllman should name at least one tern
tor accused. Mr Tlllman went on to slsl
that when the former tarifl bill was frame
the finance committee had left Its con
m It tee room , and had taken quarters at tfc
Arlington hotel.
"The senator is grossly inlatak.-i , ' ' ii
tempted Mr. Vest , ot the finance eomml
tee. "The democratic members of tt
finance committee did not go to the Arlini
ton hotel , ar anywhere else outsi < lo 'ht
comraltto * room at the capltol. "
Mr Tillman said be was glad the demi
eratia party was relieved to this extent , tt
added "Now. no one denies that for t !
last two months rooms at the Arlinjtc
have been occupied by the finance eoinml
ten in easy tourh with the tclephoau to Ne
York , and easy reach of agents of tl
sugar trust. "
"Why is U * " be asked , that the sug :
trust can always command a specific luttK
of an ad valorem duty Why was it th
they cleared 1:5.000,009 In three year * ?
was the democratic partr who made it po
slbla In 1S94. And iiuw with a dligrue *
and demoralized democratic party uut
power and the republicans In charge of
fairs , we have another datnmng evUia
of the Sugar Trust's power '
NEWSPAPER CHARGES.
Mr Tillman tald he would uow precc
specifications , and buj.l ! read a n-uub
of ilgned article * in "ho nowtpipi-n
Chicago , New York ud Utcnnere Bit1 <
various r horse * , axilnii. senators , ser t <
uuno. Thu Ural aruds
Ahead on Supar , " and spoke of the Nw
Jersey senator's selling of fi.OOO shares of
sugar stock , short , at a. profit of W.OOO.
Mr. Smith was not present In the chamber.
Another article spoke of the large profit
to senators , and stated that 30.009 shares of
the stock had bwn handled the day before
for three senators. Mr. Tlllman said It
was about time that these charges should be
probed. There should be no mixture of the
old Investigation and the new.
"Lot u not mix up the democratic she p
" hesaid "but
with the republican goats. ,
let us have a fumigation. " It waa not a time
when senators should sit here , apparently
Kllenec * ! by cowardice or corruption. The re
publicans had received the recent campaign
contributions from the "octopus" and It
should be brought to the light before the
American people. If this "Rang of thieves
and robb rs" were to have all they wanted ,
then let the American worklngman realize
what a glorious senate represented him at
Washington. In conclusion Mr , Tlllman reit
erated that If the senate "Is rotten to the
bottom" It should be proved. If these
charges were false , then the lies should be
laid bare. If the charges were true , tnen ,
he said , the guilty senators should be turned
out and the senate purged.
ALDRICH REPLIES.
Mr. Aldrlch. In charge of the tariff bill ,
Immediately took the floor as Mr. Tlllman
clcaed. It had been charged , or Inferred ,
he said , that the Sugar trutt dictated the
sugar schedule.
"But I diolrc to say to the senate , " ; alil
he , "to the senator ( Tlllman ) and to even
man In the United States that no person
connected with the Sugar trust at any time
or at any place Influenced the framing ol
the gugar schedule or received Information
as to Its terms. I de.'lre to make this aa plain
as the English language can make It. "
Mr. Aldrich said no living person outside
. of members of the committee bad Informa-
Ion as to the schedule until tblrty-alx hour :
icforn the schedule w3s reported. Then. Mr.
tones of Nevada had been shown the sched
ule. No human being beyond this had re
ceived the slightest Information , "and anj
man who says oo or Intimates so. " added
Mr. Aldrich. "deserves to be denounced It
i way which would not be parliamentary
irre. "
Mr. Tlllman Interrupted to say that hi
had not made the charges : he had merelj
submitted public statements with the au-
thori name signed.
Mr. Aldrich. proceeding , said the tulles :
Investigation was courted : that there wai
Joining to conceal. No information ever weni
from that committee room over any telephone -
phone to any one. He ( Aldrich ) had novel
bought or sold a. share of sugar stock. II
was easy for correspondents to make sucl
charges , hut they were absolutely false.
Without further debate the resolution wai
referred to the commlttea on contingent er
penee * . and on motion of Mr. Aldrlch tai
senate took up the tariff bin.
TARIFF BILL.
Mr. Vest opposed the proposed Increase li
soda ash from H to 3-10 cents per pound a
unfair to soap makers , and said it would no
have been made but for the fact that Mr
Jones from Nevada , where the principal de
posits ot soda ash in the country are found
is a member of the committee.
Mr. Stewart ot Nevada favored the amend
ment , and Messrs. Caffery and Chllton pro
tested against It. The amendment wa
agreed to without division , but was allowei
to go over to permit Mr. Gray to be hear
on It. There was only brief discussion o
the remaining paragraphs in the chemic.1
schedule , Mr. Jones stating that while the ;
were not accepted without protest by th
democrats those in charge ot the demo
cratlc interests considered it unnecessary t
consume time to no avail , with the majorit
so evidently against them.
The next schedule , relating to earth :
earthenware and glassware , waa entere
upon.
An amendment limiting the fire brick t
be imported at JL25 per ton to those weigb
Ing less than ten pounds each was acceptec
The duty on Portland and other hydranll
cements in barrels and sacks was increase
from S cents to 11 cents per hundredweigh' '
and In bulk from 7 cents to 10 cents pe
hundredweight , after Mr. White had crlti
clsed the Increase aa opposed to the Interest
of the builders , and Mr. Pettigrew had d (
fended It , saying It should be greater i
the interests ot American manufactures.
Mr. Vest criticised , but to no avail , th
rate proposed on glass battles , decanter
etc. , as equal to the McIClnley rate , th
highest , he said , la the country's history.
Mr. Jones ot Arkansas objected in a vigai
OUH speech to the rate fixed on window glas
It was ot universal consumption and was i
the hands of trusts , two associations cci
trolling practically the business In th
country , and dividing the territory and fi :
Ing rates. "Among all the iniquities of tt
bill , " said he , "and their name Is legioj
the glass schedule is the most monstrous.
SEWALL DENIES.
Mr. Sewall , republican of New Jerse'
challenged Mr. Jones' statement , sayin
there were Individual glass makers In h :
state , outside ot any trust , and strugglin
for existence against foreign competitioi
Mr. Mills of Texas said the glass rates -nei
enormous and unjustifiable , running from Ute
to 168 per cent. It was far beyond an ;
thing imagined when the country first b <
gan to faster infant industries. It was n (
a duty , but a bounty to wealth , he di
dared.
Mr. White of California spoke at lengt
against the bill , saying the ratea were pn
hlbltory to a large extent and for this reiso
would fail In the purpose to raise revenui
.ia the McKlnley act had failed to groduc
sufficient revenue , owing ta the absolute ej
elusion of revenue-producing articles.
Mr. Caffery of Louisiana spoke against th
greed of trusts , which would place a. Chines
wall around the United States in order i
, monopollzo the trade within It.
I Mr. Jones' amendment to reduce the raf
on window glaia from Hi cents to 1 cer
per pound was disagreed to ; yeas IS , nays , ±
The vote was on party lines , the democral
for and the republicans agalnet the amcni
ment. Messrs. McEnery , Stewart , pupull :
of Nevada , and Jones , populUt of Nevad :
voted with the republicans , and Messrs. Hel
1 fold and Pettigrew wth the democrat :
Tha committee rate of l i cents was the
agreed to.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas then offered ai
other amendment reducing- the rate on wii
dow glow above 10x15 inches square ar
under 16x20 from m cenis to U , cent
pound. Tha amendment was agreed to.
All of tbo committee amendments as :
window gltsa were agreed to.
On cylinder and crown gltea Mr. Jone
amendment substituting the present rate i
2'/i cents for the proposed rate of t cen
per square foot waa defeated ; yeas 20 , aa ;
27 , Tie committee amendments on cyl'ndi
and crown glass were then , agreed to.
At S o'clock Mr. Aldrich yielded to u
gent requests from democratic senators Lh
the bill be laid aside. Mr. Vest remarki
in this connection that more progress hi
been made In three days than in thn
weeks during the Wilson bill.
Tha senate then went Into executive se
sion and soon after adjourned.

LITTLE OUTSIOE INTEREST IN THE HEA1ING
Reiuilt of the Hnvpnirj-er Trial tlie
Cnimp lnitl < m > i Which the
le-iiMCd to
Anmver.
WASHINGTON , May 2S. The trial of
John E. Scarles , secretary of the American
j Sugar Refining company , today followed thaf
; of President Hav meyer , who was acquitted
| yesterday by order of Judge Bradley- The
I government presented Its case very brleSy ,
whereupon the defense , following the tac
tics pursued In the Havemeyer casj , moved
that the Judge order the acquittal for three
reasons , viz. : That the questions Mr. Searles
refused to answer were irrelevant to the in
quiry , that they were Individual not com
mittee questions , and that even If they -were
authorized by the senate resolution the sen
ate did not porsfsa Jurisdiction. The motion
waa argued at length by the counsel on
both sides , after which the court adjourned
until Tuesday , when Judge Bradley will de-
Iver his ruling. A very strong Impression
exists that the Judge will euMain the motion
and .throw the czae out of court.
Judge Hradley's decision yesterday , which
threw Vie case against Mr. Havcmeycr
out ot court , robbed the Searles trial
of much Interest. despite the as
sertion ct District Attorney Davis that the
cases were not analogous and that the con
tention set upon by the defcrat in the Have-
meyer case , upon which the Judge ordered a
verdict of acquittal returned , would not hold
In the Se-arlca cose. The general belief was
that the main question as to pertinency would
be raised by the defense In this case ant !
that the Judge would be required to rule on
that question before the defense opened.
The indictment found agaicst Mr. Searles
was very similar to the one found against
Mr. Havemeyer , except that the questions
asked of Mr. Searles were somewhat different.
The indictment recites that by a rraolution
of the senate a committee was appointed to In
vestigate certain charges made by tile press
concerning the election of 1S92. The com
mittee summoned Secretary Searles. He was
asked by the committee :
BASIS OF THE INDICTMENT.
'What ' amount was expended by your com
pany in the campaign of 1892J"
"I decline to answer the question , " an
swered Mr. Searles. giving as his reason for
declining that he did not believe It within
the province of the committee to ask such a
question.
The committee then asked : "What sum
did you ( meaning the American Sugar Re-
tinlng- company ) contribute to the democratic
campaign fund in the state of New York In
1S92 that was used for the purpose of con
ducting the campaign In that state , at which
time Cleveland and Harrison were candi
dates for president of the United States ? "
"I decline to answer that question.was
Mr. Searles' reply , and for the same reasons
as given in the declination to answer the
first question.
"Did you contribute to the democratic
campaign fund in New York ? " was asked.
He again declined to answer.
The same lawyers who appeared for Mr
Havemeyer had charge of Mr. Searles' de
fense. Mr. Havemeyer sat by Mr Searles
side in the rear of the table occupied by his
counsel. The members of the senate In
vestigating committee and other distin
guished persons were present.
The course followed by the district at
torney in the Havemeyer casa was repeatei
in the Searies case , the same documents
being introduced to lay the basis for the
trial.
Senator Gray was the first and only wlt-
nsrs called and he testified to the inves
tlgatlon committee. On cross-examination
he said ho did not believe the question
° aaked by Mr. Allen TVES pertinent , taking
into consideration the questions Mr. Searlea
had answered. He testified that money was
contributed for national political purposes
and none with the purpose of affectinglegia
lation.
At this point Mr. Johnson , for the de
fense , moved that the judge Instruct the
Jury to bring in a verdict ot acquittal. On
his argument of the motion he was exceed
ingly sarcastic in referring to Senator Al
len'a motived in aeking the quectiona o
Mr. Searles. Mr. Davis followed for the eov
ernment , after which Mr. Johnson closei
for the defence and the court adjourned unti
Tuesday.

CINCINNATI , May 2S. Tie program of
the closing day of ttieilnlon _ meeting- the
commercial clubs ot Hasten , Chicago , St.
Louis and Cincinnati was interrupted some
by inclement Tveather. . StUlr- the eltctrlc"
cara started early tor thS1 Kentucky high
lands with over 200 prominent business men
aboard for the outing ; At Fort Thomas the
visitors witnessed a salute at colors In honor
of Secretary Gage , who was In the party.
At noon luncheon was served at the club
hoiLse on the Latonla race track , at which
the famous Kentucky bursoo was among
the soups. With the exception of the even
ing banquet the entertainments of the day
were all on the Kentucky side ot the. river.
The crowning event ot the visit of the
Commercial clubs was the banquet at the
Clifton mansion ot Alexander McDonald ,
who was host for the Cincinnati club. The
brief speech of Lyman J. Gage , secretary
of the treasury , was the feature of the ban
quet. He was vigorously applauded tvh n
he arose to speak. Secretary Gage prefaced
his remarks with the statement that before
coming , he had called.upon the president
and asked permission to say for the adminis
tration that there must be proper revenue
raised and that there must be a sound sys
tem of currency established. The president ,
he said , replied : "That IB exactly what I
want you to say. ' '
Continuing , the secretary remarked that
he had discovered that two particular tl.cmcs
belli first place in the thoughts of all busi
ness men. These were the tariff and the
public finances. He then said In part :
Upon the settlement of there two questions
enterprise waits and industry languishes.
and I have thought that on this occasion I
could do no better service than to give you
assurance and hop . As to the great fabric
now before congress known , aa the tariff
bill I have nothing to zay In detail. I want
i to bear testimony , however , to the goo-i
j faith of thos In both houses -who imvi *
) that measure In charge. They are fully cnn-
scions ot their jrreat responsibility and are
working faithfully to discharge It.
1Ys 1 to the financial question , I must con-
I tent myse'.f with few words. I am clad that
' tliev may be words of arrurance. If any of
I you harbor the suspicion that the administration -

LONDON" . May 28. John E. Redmond , the
Paraellitc leader , was suspended In the
House ot Commons today owing to his per
sisting in an irregular discussion ot the
financial relations between Great Britain and
Ireland. John J. Clancy , member for the
north division of Dublin county ; William
Redmond , member for West Clare , and Wil
liam Field , member for the St. Patrick's
division of Dublin , for similar conduct were
removed from thb House by the sorgeant-
at-araia.
The disturbance teak place during the com
mittee vote for the maintenance of the har
bors. John E. Redmond opposed the vote
and discussed the financial relations between
Great Britain and Ireland. The chairman
callet ! him to order and when Mr. Redmond
persisted In speaking he wco ordered to resume -
sumo his scat. This ho refused to do. The
president of the Board ot Trade. Mr. Ritchie ,
moved Mr. Redmond's suspentiion , which
was adopted by a vote of 223 to 32.
When the House resumed regular business
the matter was rcpcrted to the speaker an.1
the House confirmed the suspension by j.
vote of 238 to 52. several antl-Parnellites
supporting the Parnclllte minority. The
House then again went Into committee and
Mr. Clancy persisted in the same lines as
Mr. Redmond. The chairman ordered him
to withdraw. He refused to do so and the
sergcant-at-armu was ordered to remove him.
William Redmond adopted the same policy
an 'Mr. Clancy and was also removed by the
scrgsant-at-arms.
Mr. Field , after having been repeatedly
called to order , was told to withdraw , which
ho did , sa > lng : "I obey. "
The House In committee then resumed
discussion of the votes.
DOLNGS IX DETAIL.
Mr. Clancy first opposed the harbor vote ,
declaring Ireland is overtaxed to maintain
English establishments.
Mr. Redmond followed in a similar strain
and when called upon to resume his seat ,
replied : "Such a request was never made
to mo before during the fifteen years I have
sat in this House. "
The chairman asked Mr. Redmond If he
refused to resume his seat , to which the
Parnelllte leader replied : "I do. I hold 1
am within my rights. "
The suspension of Mr. Redmond was then
voted.
On the House resuming business tha chair
man formally reported the matter to the
speaker , who said : "The question la that
Mr. John Redmond be suspended from
service in this House. "
An emphatic chorus of ayes -was followed
by a loud nationalist shout Of. "no. "
The vote was then taken as already stated
and the speaker cald : "I must call upon
Mr. Redmond , if ho Is In any part of the
House. , to-withdraw from itajirecincts. " , .
"Tho committee tfien resumed its discus
sion and Mr. Clancy renewed his opposition
to the harbor-vote , sayliig the financial com
mittee had established beyond question that
Ireland was overtaxed. The remark was
greeted with cries of "order. " The chair
man aaid he hoped Mr. Clancy would nol
persist in Irrelevance. Mr. Clancy responded
that he thought that raising the question of
the overtaxation of Ireland had every note
of the most relevant thing he cculd do one
ho intended to press the right to do so.
After again warning Mr. Clancy , the chair
man remarked : "It the honorable member
persists , I must , rule his conduct as being
grossly disorderly and request him to with
draw. "
This called ; forth from Mr. Clancy the re
mark : "I consider your decision unjust am
am not disposed to submit to Injustice. "
This statement waa greeted with cheers
from the Irish benches and with cries of
"order" from other parts of the House.
So soon as he could be heard the chairman
oald : "I have directed the honorable mem
ber to withdraw and I understand he re
fuses to obey. "
"I do , " exclaimed Mr. Clancy.
"Then I call upon the sergeant-at-anns to
enforce my order. "
This was greeted with cheers and some
Irish cries of "coercion. "
William Redmond shouted : "Send for the
Horse Guards. "
CLANCY WITHDRAWS.
The s rgeant-at-arms proceeded to Mr.
Clancy's seat and immediately on his arrival
there Mr. Clancy arose and withdrew with
tbo sergeant-at-arms.
William Redmond asked It It was hi order
to direct the sergeant-at-arzca to remove a
member without , the leave of the House.
"Certainly , " replied the chairman.
"Ara we to understand , " asked Mr. Red
mend , "that you may ask the eergesnt-at-
anns to remove any one of us ? "
"It members are gromly disorderly , " an
swered the chairman , "it hi my duty to do
DO under the rules ot tha House. "
Mr. Redmond retorted : "Opinions may
differ as to what is disorderly. I consider
it not only disorderly , but greatly crim
inal , to not only rob a country , but to gas
lt.i representatives. I shall take every op
portunity to objecting to Ireland taking a
part in there votes under the prestnt cir
cumstances. It haa been abundantly proved
that Ireland Is overtaxed "
The chairman interrupted Mr. Redmond ,
saying : "There are other and proper op
portunities ot raising the qutstiou. If the
honorable member persists I am afraid I musl
enforce the order. "
In eplta of this warning ilr. Redmond
, peraUttd , saying : "Grosifly disorderly 01
net I consider it to be my duty to protent
, against the system of robbery practiced
against the Irish people. " Mr. Redmond de >
scribed tha ruling of the chairman as beins
In the nature of an episode In one of Gil
bert & Sullivan's operas , and added : "The
chairman Is not the Judge of what I should
eay. 1 was ecnt here to say what la necra-
aary In the opinion of my constituents ,
and not what Is necessary In the opinion
of the chairman or of the speaker of thli
House. It U adding Insult to Injury thai
we who are overtaxed , when we attempl
to say so are practically gagged "
The chairman again interrupted Mr Red
"The honorable member 1 ;
mond. saying :
now grossly disorderly , and I must reques
him to withdraw for the remainder ot to
day's sitting/ ' . .
T certainly will not withdraw , " reple ! <
Mr. Re4mond hotly , "until you send for tin
. " *
sergeant-at-arms.
REDMOND WITHDRAWS.
The latter apparently did not wait to b >
tent for. He promptly appear * ! , moved li
the direction of Mr. Redmond and the latte
withdrew.
It was now the turn of Mr. Field to mak
a protest against the overtaxation of Ire
land. He rose from his seat and said : "
object to the vote. - A majority of the Iris !
people believe they are overlaxfrJ "
The chairman promptly met Mr. Fieli
with the remark. "Tho honorable member i
evidently anxious to UUobey the ruling o
the chair. I hope be will not compel me t
enforce the orders ot the Home agains
him. "
' " Mr. F' Id
I feel it my duty. replied
"to express thu opinion of my con
' '
stltuents
Mr. Field pot no further. The chalnnai
stopped him quickly with the now f&mllla
phrase. "The conduct of the honorable mem
ber is grossly disorderly , and I must ail
him to leave tha House. "
"I obey you. sir , " said Mr Field , wit )
mock solemnity , exiling forth an outburs

PARIS. May 2S. There were 400 delegates
present today at the annual meeting of the
National Bimetallic league. Deputy Fou-
golrol presided. M. Threy , secretary of the
league , read the reportl It set forth that
the leading event of the year was the elec
tion of President McKlnleywhich gave
great satisfaction to blmctalllsts. He dwelt
upon the necessity of bringing the move
ment to a definite issue before the expira
tion of President McKlnley's term of office.
The French government had done excellent
work which the international negotiations
would reveal. It had persevered In seek
ing the co-operation of Great Britain , be
cause the tatter's participation would dis
arm the worst opponents and give Interna
tional bimetallism a permanent and solid
basis. The report added :
"Tho English horizon is less darit than In
the past. The presence of the American
delegates in Paris may greatly hasten a
solution of the question. France anil
America could easily come to an agreemcnl
if England was inclined to a serious effort
In favor of silver , and Germany would fol
low Its example. It IB upon this that the
question of International bimetallism there
for depends for Its practical solution. "

The Cuban conservative senators and
deputies assure me that they consider the
present parliamentary conflict In Spain moat
unfortunate. In that It Is calculated to
weaken their government In Its dealings with
the colonies and the UnlUil States.
They follow the conflict with much Inter
est and anxiety. They believe that Its UBUO
may have considerable effect upon the rela
tions of Spain with the colonies and Amer
ica , because beyond the ocean much signifi
cance Is naturally attached to the new stage
upon which these relations arc certain to
enter If Premier Canovca and the conserva
tives remain In office to back Captain Gen
eral Weyler and the Cuban conservatives la
a policy that Sagista and the liberals openly
criticize , and would In great part reverse
by the recall ot Weyler and a very liberal
home rule policy , should they enter tha
councils of the regency.
The Cuban representatives bitterly crit
icize Weyler's conduct and bla treatment ot
the rural property and population , and they
challenge tha veracity of his reports on the
progress of pacification. They assure mo
that delay In the execution of the home mlo
policy will oblige Spain ultimately to go
further In her concessions. They seem to
bo convinced that the United States la
maneuvering to prevent the Cuban Insur
gents from being crushed by force of arms
and to pave the way. by Investigations by
Commissioner Calhoun and the relief at
American citizens , for some sort of media
tion.
Curiously enough now , even the Cuban
conservatives reproach Spanish statesmen-
with not sufficiently taking Into account all
the factors of the colonial question that
makeshifts and halt measures cannot solve.
