WASHINGTON , July 22. Shortly befote
the scnalc adjourned today Senator Allison ,
In charge of the tariff bill , made a strong
effort to have u time fixed for the final
vote ) on the 'arlff ' confcreneo icport. Fall
ing In thlo , Mr. Allison gave notice that the
session tomorrow would be protracted with
n view to securing u > oto. It was the first
di finite movement made thus far toward
bringing the debale to a close. Mr. Allt-
son'u drat proposition was for a vote at D
o'clock tomorrow , but this was objected lo
by Mr. Pellus cf Alabama. Then he pro
posed a vote some time before adjournment
tomorrow , which was objected to by Mr.
MCI can The uuggestlon of Saturday ut 1
o'clock met with llku objection from Mr
Morgan Thu Alabama senator explained his
last objection ou the ground that he thought
the debate * ou the report would bu exhausted
tomorrow , BO that It was needless to make
nu agreement In aelvancc. Finding that
there w.is no deposition to reach an agree
ment , Mr. Allison finally gave notice thai
hoieafler , while Ihe tariff bill was pemllng ,
thu senate would not adjourn at C o clock
without a yea and nay vote.
The debate today was participated In by
Senators Chlllon of Texas. Jones of Arkansan -
san anil Petllgrcw of South Dakota In oppo
sition , while Mr. Aldrlch took frequent oc-
easlou to defend Ihe rcpoit against the
criticism of these senatois.
The credenllals of the * new senator from
Tennessee , Thomas B Turley , who buc-
ceeds the late Senator Hanls , were pre
sented to the senale by Ills associate , Ml
Bale . Mr. Turley was then escorted to the
vi'-o picsident's desk , where Ihe oalh of
ollke was duly administered.
TILLMAN AND SUGAR.
Mr. Tlllman offered a resolution discharg
ing the committee on contingent expenses
fiom further consideration of Iho rcsolullon
for an Investigation of alleged senatorial
sugar epeculation. Before anything could
be said Mr. Jones of Nevada presented a re
port from the eommltlco on the same reso
lution. Mr. Tlllman was quickly ou his
feet asking that the icpoit be read. He-
did not want It sidetracked by any pailla-
menlary device and wished lo secure a direct
vole on Ihe resolullon. Mr. Galllnger of
New Hampshire , a member of Ihe committee ,
suggested that the resolution should go to
the calendar and bo reached In Its ptopcr
orelci1. Mi. Tlllman Ins'sted on having It
read. Mr. Galllnger objected , the pre-sldlng
olllcer holding that n single objection was
BUttlclent to prevent the reading. ' Then Mr.
Tlllnmr. moved that the icporl be read. On
a vivo voce vote Ihe motion was lost and the
resolution went to the calendar.
Mr. Allison asked that the tailfl confer
ence report bo taken up , but was met with
eovoral measures which senators desired to
have hurried through In anticipation of the
adjournment of congress.
Mr. Allison would not yield and Mr. Allen
finally made an Issue by moving to lake up
the bill for a nonparlisan commission to in
quire Into questions affecting agriculture and 1
labor. The motion was lost and wlthoul
further delay the consideration of the tariff
report proceeded. ,
OHILTON CRITICISES.
Mr. Chllton of Texas took the Poor for
a speech against the bill as a whole , with
nn analytical cilticlsm of the schedules in do-
tall Concerning sugar , ho tald It was so
cunningly deviled aa to make It difficult
to determine the be.iollts conferred. The
main point was a * to the lots suffered by ;
the people , and after a calculation Mr. Chll
ton concluded lhat the Sugar tiust would
bo enabled to charge the people 1 cent more
for sugar ( ban under the present law. He
eald thu agricultural bchedulo ought to b °
taken as a "fraud schedule , " as It was
designed to bo deceptive to the farmers.
In connection with Mr. Chilian's discussion
of Iho agricultural scheduleMr. . Tlllman
was diawn Inlo a discussion of the expoit
bounty on agricultural products. The South
Caiollna senator declared that the Imposi
tion of such a bounty was the most c fleet he
means of destroying the en I Ire protective
fjKtcm , for If thu farmer got ono drop of
blood in his mouth ho would want to "swal
low Iho entire larcass , " and It would eud
Jn a scramble , overturning the whole system
Pioceedlng , Mr , Chllton look up the dcm i
ociatlc position on free raw material , urg
ing that raw wool and other raw products
were entitled to exactly the same consldeta-
tlon an manufactured woolen goods , but
neither of them should hu benefltPd as
riKalnst the Interests of the whole people
Ho did not believe the people of Texas could
bt > helped by a protective system OH a whole *
or In detail. A tariff on wool would , he- be
lieved , lake moro money out of their pockets
than It would put In them , and the same
vvaa true of hides and lumber. Mr. Chll 1-
ton said he would not hold out to bis con-
Btltucutn thn doltMlvo hope lhat they were
to receive a part of tho-benefits of protec
tion. If they had reached thu conclusion that
It was time to join In the general scramble
for protection , then they should send a re
publican lu hie place ,
i JONES TAKES THE FLOOR ,
Mr. Jonca of Arkansas followed in crltlcls-
ing the bill. He asserted there had been
no fair and free conference , but a mere
outward formality of conference , which tli > -
tifliiato out of self-respect ought to repudiate
by rejpCiliiK the report. The senator re
ferred to the full meeting of the conferees
and re'ated ' the futllo efforts of the demo
cratic members to secure a hearing Mr.
Jonca abscrted It was the * first I line In th :
history of tlm country that such arbitrary
action had be-cn taken by a conference com-
mlttee.
"Vote It down , " suggested Mr , Allison
"Tun report U n mere recommendation lolo
the rtenatp. "
"Vej. " declared Mr. Jones , "Iho senate
cues It to Its dignity to reject the re
port. "
Mr. Aldrlch , one of the republican con
ferees , Interrupted lo state lhat the course
of this conference committee was the same
that every cuiiferenco roimnlltco followed.
In llio tariff contest ot 1891 the democratic
conferees were together six weeks , and the
republican conferees were not Invited In and
knew nothing of what was going on. Mr.
Aldrlch declared that republican senator *
were responsible for the- pending bill and
It was net to bo expected that amendments
by democratic conferees would ba engrafted
In the bill ,
Mr , Jones Insisted that the course of the
republican conferees had been exceptional
and arbitrary The epnaior turned his at
tention to the various cchedulen , comparing
therales In the opening statement by Mr
Aldrlch , which rates were moderate and con-
lervullye. lu particular hu urged that oaUi
*
i _ _ _ - < j2i * * -
change In the rates on sugar had given
added benefits to the trust.
At ono stage Mr. Aldtich Interrupted to
say that the average of rates was below
that of the law * of 1S90.
ALDHICH EXPLAINS.
lloferrlni ; to Mr Jones' criticisms on the
sugar schedule , he mid that his own personal
view A were favorable to ficc sugar , as they
had always been , and he would ! o vote If
there was opportunity. Hut the demands
for revenue made that out of the cnicstlon
HP i Insisted also that Mr Jones' figures on
the dlfTercnllals of the sugar schedule were
erroneous.
Mr. Jones maintained that there was about
four times ns much margin to the RUg.tr
refineries under the conference report a *
In the present law This ho hild , disclosed
why there was so much anxiety In rushing
the bill through the confm nee and hnuep.
Mr. I'cttlgrcw of South Dakota announced
hli purpose to vote against the conference
report , although he expected that the bill
In Its present form , with all Its Iniquities ,
would become a law. Us Inlrjultles would
make It dllllcnU to repeal , as the
favors it gave brought It auch tremendous
strength that the republican party would be
able to collect a fund of twenty , forty or
fifty millions If they needi-d It In the future
In older to carry an election. He staled ,
however , lhat the contest of the future was
not on the tariff , hut between republican
Irstltutloiw and plulocracy The senator
closed with the statement that when he left
the republican party he left It for good ,
"and the caucus dlct.ition In behalf of thin
Iniquitous bill" had amply justified his ac
tion.
Shortly before 5 o'clock Mr. Teller was
about to begin a speech Ho yielded to
Mr. Alllfon. who made the first movement
toward bringing theilebitc to a close.
The house julnt resolution was parsed , IP
questing the president to make Investigation
as to the exclusion of American tobacco
from foreign countries under the
Regie- con
tract system.
At 5 o'clock the senate held an executive
session and then adjourned

Tllllllllll ItCNOllltloil.
WASHINGTON , July 22 Scmtor Jones of
Nevada , chairman of the committee on con
tingent expenses , toJay submitted Ihe report
of that rommitteu on the losolnllon lutio-
duced by Se'nator Tlllman for an Investlqa-
tlou of the charges of speculating In sugar
stocks , etc. The report takes a strong posi
tion against ordering thu Investigation and Is
a very exhaustive icview of the proceluro
of the senate In the pasl in such matters
The report takes the po.iltnn ! that aalde
from the names of the newspaper men Ihem-
sdvcs. only the nameof Senator Smith .
New Jcisey Is mentlccied In Iho newspapers
making the charges on which the resolution
was ba&ed. The position is taken that the
newspaper men do not count "Inasmuch c < ,
these gentle-men do not prefers to vvrlto froti
Knowledge and usually , if not always , do
cllnc to dlsloisc the &DUICCS of their informa
tlon. "
With refeicnce to Senator Smith the repor :
says' "Heie Is a newspaper charge made
against a senator of the United States with
nut a.iy averment of personal knowledge an
the part of the- writer and without ths slight
eal particle of evidence to sustain It no
even as much as would warrant a justlci
of thu peace In summoning Itnes'ea to de
tormina- the truth of a complaint by on
citizen against another with reference t
Iho most trifling Incident of our everyday
life. It Is a hold and naked assertion of a
man who docs not profess or pretend to hiv
any Knowledge whatever of Ihe alleged fac
of which ho writes. On the other hand , w
have a definite , explicit and absolute detila
of the charge from the &enator affected a
denial publicly made from his place in th
senate , upon tlic responsibility of his poii
tlon as a .senator of the United States.
As to the clause of the resolution which
chaigcs that brokers In New York knew In
advance as to what the finance' commute
would report ts to the sugar tchcdule , th' '
committee says It "can find In the news
piper clipping presented support of th
proposed Inquiry nothing but definite allu
sloiw. insinuations , guesses and inference
drawn by correspondents from hearsay state ,
me nts and the hearsay sometimes seveia
degrees removed. Many of thslr expression :
Indicate the fllmslne&i of the foundation on
which they have erected this structure o
scandal. "
The attack of ono of the correspondent
Is characterized as "a deliberate , unfair determination
termination lo If possible bring upon th
members of the finance committee the con
tempr of the country. "
The report takes the position that the
distinct assertions of senatais are not to b
outweighed by newspaper atlacks Instigated
by men "willing to make statements t
newspaper reporters with n viewlo publlca
lion , and then like an assassin who uses th
stiletto In the dark , sKulk behind Iheso cor
respondents and icfuse to permit their name
to bo known for even the purpose of evl
deuce. "
With reference to the proposlllon that In
qulry bo made whether the Sugar trusl "ha
contributed to or controlled the election o
a senator In this body ut any time , " th
committee expresses the opinion "that th
tlmo to Investigate a subject of that charnc
tcr will bo when some evidence Is offered
show cause for the Inquiry" and adds tha
"upon Ihu election of a senator , his pollllca
or olher opponents are suflicicntly acllv
and alert In their own Interest or In th
Interest of their party to make known ti
the senate any Irregularity or cause for con
tcsl. "
Tile committee doea not accept the viev
that the men stand convicted of the charge
If It does not officially disprove them ,
As lo the Imprisonment of newspaper cor
respondents , editors or publlsheiK for makln ;
statements not warranted by the facts , th
committee consider "that nothing but th
Impcrllmrnt of the gravest public Interest
should compel a retort to BUPU an extreni
Ity. "
In conclusion the committee recommend
that the resolution bo indefinitely postponed
saying :
"It seems to your committee that the tlm
has coma when the senate should emphatic
ally declare by Its action lhat It woi'd ' no
be ) accessory to attacks upon Itself or It
mcinbers from an Irresponsible source. N
Investigation of any charge afTcrtlng theIn

STOCKHOLM , July 22. The Aftonbladet ,
which has close relations with Hcrr Andrce ,
says that Andrce could not have dispatched
the pigeons recently caught In the neighbor
hood ot Soovde , In HlfylKe , and near Tromsoe
Island , because It was arranged that hla
pigeons should ho marked with the words
"Andree expedition A. U. 1S97. "
Dr. EKhola , who was associated
with Andieo In the projected bal
loon expedition of last year , doea not be
lieve that the earlier pigeon caught on
Tuesday in the neighborhood of Socvdc In
Htfylko wllh a silver ring on one of lie
feet and the message "North Pole 142 W.
47.G2" on Its wings Is Ono of Andres's
pigeons He says Andrcp'n pigeons do nol
wcai silver lingo on their leg's and they
have Andreo stamped ou their wlngn. More
over , he Is confident Andree did not send
such an otwctlre message.
A keen interest Is felt In geographical
cfreles herp as to the result of Andree- polar
expedition , and this Is greatly Increased by
the arrival ot the pigeons at Soevde * and at
TioniHO'S Islind , though there Is some doubt
as to whelher either blrl came from Andrce
It Is a cuilous fact lhat the Inscription " 142
W 4G C2 ' agrees exactly with the geographi
cal location from which the London experts
believe they mlghl hear from Andrea at
about this time. Scott Keltic , sec
retary ot Iho Itoyal Geographical society , who
In about leaving to attend the mectlnpo of
the Urilish atvoclallon at Toronlo , said lethe
the rorrespondenl of Ihe Associated Press to
day. "I would not like to speak oillclally of
this mallei , but It Is certain that If the
wind were &outhetly when he ascended , An-
drco would pro's , the polar biflln and come
out near the eHrlng ttralta " The totmltude
mentioned. 142 wcbt. means Ihe coast of
Norlh America , and If such a wind pre
vailed undei Ihe most favorable clrcum-
blancca. Andrce would arrive Ihere. If the
inscription means this. It seems also that
Andreo has passed rlpht across Ihe pole
' The Inscrlpllon Is the only thing leading
lo Iho suppoalllcn that the pigeon may have
come from Andreo ; but It paiinot bo doubted
that he will first bo heard of on the extreme
noith of Ameilca or the Slbcilan coast , biip-
poilng him to have arrived at 142 west with
a dlbablcd balloon , he can easily ascend the
MacKenzlo < rtvcr and reach the Hudson biy
settlement. Of course. If the balloon la nol
damaged Ihero Is no reason why ho ei'ould
descend until ho reaches comfortable
quarleis. "
There is no special anxlely fell hero as lo
Andreo's fate , because even If the balloon
comes , to grief Andrce will be no worse off
than Nansen after leaving the Tram.
LONDON July 22 A bpeclal dispatch
from Copenhagen says a carrier pigeon had
been caught In the vicinity of Tromsoe
Island , near the north point of Norway , will
the following stamped on Its wing : "North

MELVILLE'S IDEAS.
WASHINGTON , July 22. Commodore
Melville was not disposed to discredit the
story of the news from Andree , notwith
standing Ihe absence of dala as to the sendei
of the message on Ihe pigeon's wing and
Iho date of thc polar discovery. This omis
sion , he said , might be accounted for by the
haslo of Ihe sender , and as it was not
known that any other party In the Arctic
regions was equipped with carrier pigeons , a
degree of probability was added the report
that entitled It to consideration.
Commodore Melville , however , does not at
tach much Importance to the results lo fol
low such an expedltlsn aa Andree's , even ii
it succeeded in crossing the pole. Ho is
confident that It would not be possible for
Andree to have alighted at the pole and then
have resumed his flight , and thinks Ihe besl
lhat he could have done would have been
lo cross Ihe pole high In Ihe air. His c\pe-
dilion , however , would solve the question
aa to the existence of the open polar sea
which has been Ihe subject of so much con
troversy between Arctic explorers , but be
yond being able to report upon thai foci
Andree probably would have little of value
to contrlbule to the present store of knowl
edge of the far north Abmmilng that thla
pigeon message Is genuine and from Andree
theio is grave reason to fear for the safety
of the bold aeronaut. If , following the line
ot the meridian upon which ho rcportee
himself , ho landed on Iho north coast o
Maskn. not too far east of Point Darrow , he
probably would fall In with some of the
whalers who are still off the coasl , or some
of the few nallvcs along Iho shore. But I
the balloon once crossed the coast range
and landed In the Interior there would be
llllle chance of Ihe explorer j caching civ
ilization again.
GUEELEV IS SKEPTICAL.
In reply to a telegraphic rcqueal , Genera
A. W. Greeley , Iho arcllc explorer , has sen
Iho Associated prcfcs from Linden , Va , Hi
following signed slalement regarding the An
dree expedition :
"It 'Is possible that Pi of Andree may
have reached the north polo or Its vicinity
Telegraphic ropoils , w far as I have ? seen
itato that ho started with a south wind o
twenty-two miles an hour. The chances o
such a wind blowing six hundred mile
straight to thn north polo are , however , ver
small , as It would be an extraordinary me
tcotologlcal phenomenon , such as has neve
accompanied any storm. My opinion on An
drco's projected expedition and his probabl
loturn were expressed at the sixth Inter
national geographical congress In July , 1S93
In London , where I debated the subject pub
llcly with Prof.Andrce , and also dlscussei
the chances with him prlvalely , and ho ad
milled the extreme hazard of the project
vvhleh I strongly opposed , I pointed out tha
should he even reach the polo he couli
hardly expect to find his south wind extend
Ing UCIOSB the pole for a thousand miles , as
a north wind , I uiged lhat Iho chances of at
talnlng the north coaft were Infinitely small
aa the observation at Lady Franklin bay
Giinnell-land and Point Harrow , Alaska
showed that the summer winds were almos
constantly from the south , whlloslrong nortl
winds were * almost unknown. Andree said
" 'Then I shall expect to land somewhen
on the Siberian coast , '
"He also expressed again his determlna
tlon to go and his confidence of returning
safely. Prof. Edholme , who accompanlci
Andreo In his unsuccessful attempt of las
cummer , declined to go this year on accoun
of the dangers that I urged upon Andree
the permeability ot the balloon , which al
laws gas to escape constantly but vvhlcl
Andreo claimed to have overcome , Whll
I believe that Andreo will never return ye

In the report cabled from Chiis'-lana , Nor

Prof. Moore , although ho ucllevet ) eufliclcn
time hau elapsed for the receipt of such
mcbaage. Is Inclined to look upon the repor
as a canard. If the bird had been freei
by Andree ho thinks thu ring on Its foot
would have been nmiked vvllh hid name and
Iho message would have been signed. He
also points out the fact that Ihe message
was not dated , Still , If U should prove lo be
true the news would ho edpeclally pleasant
for Prof. Moore * , who , on the day after An

loodlug the entire valley and causing great
amnge to property both In the city and
long the railway lines. Many people ate
upposcd to he drowned. The entire country
'ast ' and west for twenty miles was Hooded
nd the damage will bo enormous , the rail-
oads being the heaviest losers.
The Hrlo railroad west of Warren , fourteen
miles , and north of Sharon for the eanic
Istanee , was entirely flooded out , and orders
were Issued to discontinue all trains. Many
esldcnces were flooded out and the occu-
> ants were taken away by the police and
Ire departments. The Mahonlng valley elec-
rlo lines were Hooded out and all the
lirldges washed away. The Catholic church
it Mica was struck by Ughmlng at the
a.mc hour and nearly destroyed by fire , while
uslness houses and manufacturing concerns
vero flooded out. Henry Mjers , a tailor ,
vhllo btandlng at his residence ou Mill
Urcct , wan struck by lightning and killed
nstantly. Ho leaves a family. On every
railroad leading Into the city comes reports
of extensive washouts and bridges swept
away and railroad olllclals say the loss will
Jo the heaviest they hove ever known.
Along Cmb creek , running Into the city
lorn the east , along the I2rlo and Lake
Jhoro railroads , and emptying Into the Ma-
lonlng river , near the Lake Shore depot ,
i cloudburst occuned about ten miles out
and the water did not begin to rise much
n the city until after 9 o'clock. At about
0 o'clock the water come down Ihe valley
nto tha cltv and foimed into a flood , sweep-
ng everything that was not tied doun he-
ore It. The bed of the creek was not more
han twenty feet wide , and the flood spread
out to a width of about 2,000 feet. It rose
tuickly and In less than thiity minutes the
water was up to the second stoiy of all the
Ivvelllng houses in Ihe flooded districts and
vas still rising. It is a certainty at 11
o'clock that none of the people escaped from
he houses. The whole district was covered
vlth daikncEs , . except on small places where
a lone electric light shone. Firemen , police
and others were gotten out quickly , but were
jowerlcss to rcocuo anybody , as not a boat
of any kind was to bo had In that portion of
he city. Nine families were lakcn out of
second story windows within a halt hour , and
many peaple were picked up clinging to
debris. At midnight the water commenced
o recede rapidly and the cicek will likely
