H flfty-flvo pages were disposed of, comprising two
H i-o'ropleto schedules, "pulp, papers, nnd books"
H n(j "mnrtrlcs," nnd tho whole of tho free Hat.
I When the 1)111 was tnken up, within a few
H minutes nftcr the session opened, the wool
H Klitdulo was first in ordor, Imt for reasons
S ullsfartory to both sldos of the chamber It
B was allowed to go over till to-morrow. It
fl Kin the same In regard to the silk schedule,
B which came next In order. The next two sched-
H cl. M "nJ " "ore disposed ' ,n Qtilok time,
B the Democrats offering little. If any, opposition,
B knd no lengthy arguments being Indulged In.
IB Many rarngrophs In those two schedules went
H orer without action. That u the case In re-
IB litlon to coal for Teasels, diamonds, hides,
n (lore, paintings, pencils, and other articles. A
fig? itill larger number of articles on the free
Hj lint were left unacted upon. There was but
H cce Tea and nay rote taken, and that
H ion motion to reduce the duty on safety
K fcies used In mining to 1 0 per sent, ad valorem.
M Th motion was made by Mr. Pettljrrew of South
H Dakota, and he called for the yeaa and najs In
JB crier, as he said, to hare Senators from the
B mining States go on tho record and show whether
' tley would stand by the interests of the minors
m sr obey tho orders of tho caucus. Most of the
V Beaators from the mining Statos voted for Mr.
Hr Ftttlpiew's amendment, but not all of them.
jHi When the Tariff bill was taken up Mr. Allison
(Rep.. la.) ssked that the wool schedule be
pH' auacil oTcr till to-morrow morning, and that
IH the paper and pulp schedulo (M) be proceeded
H with to-day. Ho asked his Dcmocratlo friends
It whether that would be satisfactory to thorn
H't latent was given, and the paper schedule was
flj takaa up.
! The committee amendment to the first three
'BV paragraphs in the schedule were agreed to.
K Paragraph 302 (printing paper for books and
HB Mwjpapcrs) was amended so as to make the
HB iity 15 P" cent, ad valorem, provided that the

H afraph 393 was agreed to, tho rate on paper
B welshing over six pounds to the ream being
raised from 4 to 6 cents per pound, raragrnph
Ba M (sorface-coated papers) went over. A new
H paragraph, putting a duty of 33 per cent, ad
Bjj Talorem on photograph and autograph albums,
HJ was inserted.
H Paragraphs 306 and 397 (paper hangings and
.WL tlank books) ncro struck out, and a substitute
tM for paragraph 3W (playing cards) was agreed to.
jH Itniskes the duty 20 cents per pack and 20 per
HJ rest, ad valorem.
HI' SihcduleN (sundries) was then tnken up. The
Hi committee amendments to paragraphs 400, 401,
HI 102, 403. and 404 were Agreed to, and a new
B paragraph was inserted (lOSHi), making the
IB duties on bristles (for brushes) 74 cents per
pound.
B Pamrraph 405 (coal) was passed over.
91 Paragraph 40ti (cork bark) was amended by
changing "ono-hnlf inch" in diameter to three
HJ fourths of an Inch (applying to manufactured
BB corks).
B The daty on firecrackers was fixed at 6 cents
B per pound and on gunpowder at 4 and 6 cents.

Mr. Pettigrew (SU., S. Dak.) asked Mr. Allison
B what the duty on safety fuse would be, and was
H informed that safety fuse would come In under
MB the "basket clause," at from 30 to 45 per cent.
H Mr. Pcttlgmr moved to make the duty 10 per
tflf; cent, and said that the fuse In question was
B d in mining operations. Two years aco
S it price was $2.80 per thousand feet. It was
B tow $1.93, and with the Increased duty pro
M posed the price would be $5.50. A combination
HB of lour safety fuse makers had been formed on
H the slon of the Sugar Trust and other trust.
H ud not ouly fixed proceeds, but divided
BBj the territory between them, so that one
B portionof the country should be plundered by
H oneronipany and another portion plundered by
B iwthcr coniDany. He proposed to put on
record the benators from mining States and to
B teoichether a caucus combination was stroni;
Bl turagh to compel them to vote to make miners
BB pir a bonus to the fuso combination.
BBj Mr. Teller of Colorado agreed with the views
Bj o! Mr. I'rttlzrew. He did not know exactly on
that princlplo the bill wan framed, wbeiher
fBI for protection or for revenue, or for both. If for
ME revenue, then the revenue to he derived from
BJ safety fuse was too trifling to justify it. If for
BBJ protection, be challenged tho 1 inance Commit
BJ tee to show any reason for nny additional duty

rrWAsniNOTON, June 21. The compromise of
fered by the Klnanoe Committee on the wool
schedule Is an advanoe over the rates they re
ported with the bill, but are below the Dlngley
rates. Members of the committee do not think
a caucus will be necessary to secure the solid
support of the Republican Senators, a their
proposition has been practically agreed to by
those Senators who have been urging higher
rates, although not so high as those they asked.
On wool of the first class tho rata 1 placed at
10 cents a pound, as against 8 cents a at first
named by the committee and 11 cents by tho
DIngley bill. On second-class wools, 11 cents
per pound, ngalnst 0 cents In ths committee
bill and IS cents In tho House bill. The clauso
as to skirted wools Is omitted.
Third class wools valued at less than 10 cents
per pound nro to pay n duty of 4 cents per
pound; if valued at over 10 cents, 7 conta per
pound. These are the rates originally reported
by the committee. The DIngley rate was 32 per
cent, ad valorem on wool of the third class
valued nt 13 cents per pound or less, and CO per
cent, when valued at over 13 cents.
This lncretue on raw wool Involves a corre
sponding iucivaso In the duty on manufactures
of wool, but as the different schedules are ar
ranged so th&t tho duties nro fixed on an auto
matical basis so many times the value of a
pound of unwashed wool of the first class It
will not be neciweary ro nmond each Item.
It was expected that tho wool schedule would
be considered by the Sonnto to-day, but 8ona,or
Wnay having asked a postponement until tbo
protestt of woollen manufacturers of Philadel
phia against tho new rates could be heard, tho
schedulo went over.
THE HOUSE Jt.Y SESSION.
A notaMia Adopted Appropriating 0100.000
to Repair Che Brooklyn IVovat Dry Poeli.
WiBiirNOTOH, June 81. In the House to-day
an order reported by the Committee on Rules
was adopted for tho consideration of the House
Joint resolution appropriating 9100,000 for the
repair of tho dry dock in tho New York Naiy
Yard. The necessity for the appropriation w a
set forth by Mr. Boutelle (Rep. Ma). The ex
planation led to Interruptions by Mr. Simpson
of Kansas and Mr. Gaines of Tennessee, with
inquiries as to tho appointment of the commit
tees. Mr. Cutnmlngs of New York Impatiently de
manded the "regnlar order."
Speaker Reed The Chair will state to the gen
tleman of New York that this sort of thing op
pears to be tho regular order. Laughter.)
Mr. Cummings. advocating the passage of the
Joint resolution, called attention to the neces
sity of increasing tho docking facilities of ths
Go ernment. This dock, a timber one at thut.
was the only one on the Atlantic coast In which
our big battleships can bo docked, while Ports
mouth, England, alone had twenty one stone
docks. Congress should turn Its attention
from shipbuilding to dock building. If we are
going to have a successful naval establishment.
The joint resolution was agreed to, 114 to IS.
Mr. Latimer of South Carolina asked unani
mous consent fur immediate consideration of
the Tillman bill, relegating to each State and
Territory the absolute control of tbo liquor
traffic within its limits. This bill was Intro
duced to overcome the legal objections to the
South Carolina LMaporuiary law. which a federal
conrthas ht-ld l. be unconstitutional.
W. A. Stone of Penn) lvanla objected, on the
f round that legislatlo-i upon the regulation of
nirrstate comnserce should not be by unani
mous consent.
The Sennte Joint resolution authorizing thead
mission of Chiiuv-c laborers Ic attendance upon
exhibits at t hu Omaha Exposition, to leave the
country within three months after the close of
the exposition, was adopted.
The House then adjourned until Thursday

PETXVS SIZES Vr AEE1BOX.
He Kayo "the Burnt or from Iowa Sever Stall eo
a Statement You Can Ore a UooU Into."
WasuireoTov, June 21. Senator Pettus of
Alabama is a very old man, and be has been a
member of the Senate siuco the 4ih of March
only In that period, however, ho has been able
to sizo up many of his colleagues fairly well,
and especially Mr. Allison of Iowa. It was Mr.
Ingalls of Kansas who said onco that Mr. Alli
son was so veliet-footed that ho could dance
across tho Sennte chamber on eggs and never
break a shell. "Allison is so smooth that you
net er know whether ho Is coming toward you
or going away from you." said another wit, and
It was Mr, Burrows of Michigan who went one
better than the egg story by saying that Allison
could wnlk from Washington to San Francisco
on the keys of a piano and never strike a note
Mr. Pettus took a hand to-day at describing
the Iowa Senator's most prominent characteris
tic, and ho did it well. Senator ilaeou of Oeorgla
said to the Senate that Mr. Allison. In charge of
ton Tariff bill, hn'l gltcn tho nssuranco a row
dais ugn thut i-otton tlci and Wg tics should Ijo
pli.ivd on thu same looting; that is, both should
go together, ritber on the dutltbloor thefioe
list. Mr. Allison with his oier-ready smile and
polite posture of deprecation, vi nturod to ex
press tlir opinion thai Mr. llacon hail made his
statement u liltlo too definite. Mr. Allison said
hu had not, he thought, nuult his nsaurunco
so positive. Indeed, upon reflection, ho
was suro ho hud not. Thereupon Mr.
Iir.coii iuBiste-d that he was rlvht nnd endeav
ored to fortify himself by a reft rem e lo the offi
cial report of wh.it Mr. Allison really did say.
He picked up tho wrong record, however, and
whlio ho wss waiting for tbo right ono Mr, Pet
tus arose over in tho corner, with his spectacles
on hisnoac and hlsejes poeilngoi er them. He
suggested I lint Mr. Union was undoubtedly
right, hut felt cuntldent tbat ho would not be
able to prnie It, "beiousc," he enlil," tho Sena
tor from Iowa novr makes a statement thut
you can get a hook Into." This d. lously pat
iuki true remark caused a lnuh at Mr. Allison s
axpetifc, nnd ho blushed violently at finding
himself again discovered.

WAsntNOTON, Juno 21. Mr. Allen V. Sey
mour of New York, broker, was placed on trial
In Criminal Court No. 2 this morning, beforo
Justice Dradlcy, charged with contumacy before
the Sugar Investigating Committee of 1804.
Tho witnesses nnd spectators were practically
ths same as In the trials of Mesrs. Havemeycr.
Searlcs, Shrlvor. and Edwards. Hy direction
of Justice Uradley tho jury brought In a ver
dict of not guilty.
In the afternoon the trial of Broker John W.
MacArtney of the firm of Corson & MaoArtney
of Washington, tho last of the alleged contu
macious wltuoMes, was begun before Justice
Bradley. Mr. MacArtney. at tho Investigation,
declined to answer a question hh to wbether
any Senator or Senator s clerk had speculated
in sugar stock through his firm. The prosecu
tion showed thatMr. MacArtney. unlike Messrs.
Edwards. Shrlver. and Bejmour, hnd been prop
erly summoned. Judgo Wilson, who appeared
for Ml. MacArtney, moved for a verdict of ac
quittal on the ground th it the questions wero
not pertinent to the inquiry, tbat they were put
principally by Senator Allen and not by the
committee, and that tho committee failed to
notify Mr. MacArtney to answer.
Assistant District Attorney Maker and Dis
trict Attorney Davis replied to Judge Wilton.
Mr. Davis did not conclude until 3 o clock, nnd
an adjournment was taken until to-morrow nt
10 A. M. Justice Uradley will probablv allow
Mr. MacArtney to go free, as ho did the other
witnesses. The ground on which ho will releaso
MacArtney will no that the question was put by
Senator Allen and not by the committee, that
the commltteo did not demand an answer, and
that it fallod to notify Mr. MacArtney that If ho
did not reply he would be held guilty of contempt,

Washington, June 21. The long controversy
between the Government and tho manufac
turers over the price of armor plate for the new
battleships Illinois. Alabama, and Wisconsin Is
In a fair way to settlement by the acceptance of
the compromise price of $425 per ton recom
mended by Secretary Long.
The Senate Nainl Committee of the lost Con
gress made an Investigation Into tho subject,
the result of which was the fixing of a limit of
300 per ton In tho last Naval Appropriation hill.
The Bethlehem and Carnegie companies, which
have furnished all the armor of the modern
navy, declined to bid ut that price, and Secre
taries Herliert and Long. In reporting to Con
frrcss their Inability to make louirnits at lbr
linlt fixed, recommended that It be raised to

WARSZAWIAK TO' APPEAL.
UAItH FEELIKO IX DS. ITAZZ'B
cnvncii orsn nis case.
Ths Pastor and Four Others Toted ftir Acquit
tal, with Seven Votes rsr Cnnvletlon A
Strong Party la the Church Still rtelleves
In the Chrlallanlted Jew-stems Bitter Talk.
Herman Wnrsiawink, the converted Jew, who
wo suspended by ths session of ths Fifth Av
enue Presbyterian Church after a trial for im
morality, says that the case will bo carried to the
Presbytery, and, If necessary, to ths Synod and
the General Assembly, Wnrszawiak I a protege!
of the Roy. Dr. John nail, who still belloves in
him. The vote In tho session was eevon against
Warszawlak and flvo In hli favor. W. 0. Conant,
a member of the church, wrote to him yesterday,
saying among other things:
The verdict rendered against you by your accuser's
personal friends, associates, and relative, sitting as
ths session of your church (by a compact majority of
ono), Is devoid of all moral weight by Its very author
ship. Yet It la an occasion of unspeakable grief and
humiliation to svsry Christian who has had, or may
hare, opportunity to follow ths testimony and pro
ceedings In tho case. The proceedings, more especial
ly, for not only Is ths verdlot directly contrary to
tho whole ovldenee, but ths mock trial through
which It waa reached, defying at every step, by a
solid and uniform majority of one, the rules of law
and ths rights that civilised countries allowed to the
vllsatof criminals on trial, Is In Itself a scandal tbat
might be matched, but never overmatched by ths
venal oourU of Turkey or the Baraga Lnqulaltluns of
ths Spanlah courts martial In Cnba.
The "accuser" thus referred toby Mr. Conant,
It is supposed, Is Mr. Morris IC. Jcup. Hers
aro extracts from other letters received hy
Wnrszawiak:
From Constant A. Andrews, President of the United
States Sarlnga Dank Mot deeply do I sympathies
with you. Tho clow strikes a out Into my heart like
a wound.
From Robert Deggi, a member of tho Session I am
sorry 1 tin com) elled to wrlto you In this way and be
cempellel todllTir from tar btethren In tho session
of our cl ur-ch. Hut I must t true to my ccnaclence
and do what Is right. Ood will not let Satan have the
vlttory whllo ue are true tn Ills cause.
From D. II. Coulson. a membvi of the church Do
not pidge all Christians by these men who bate failed
to giro you Justlcoi men who ai. ths l'trrtsaea arid
hypocrltea of the church to-day.
Another champion of Warszawlak Is the
Itov. Chirles F. Tajlor, who writes to The St'N
that the trlul was "a travesty on Justice," nnd
adds:
I feel sincerely sorry as a minister of the Gospel that
such a farce could tin enacted In a Chrls'lm churihi
alt.n that It should Involve so unpleasantly Dr. John
Hall, who has stood nobly for truth and the light in
st Ki of the nnuuMtlon of the malorltv of his si'ulon
nd who stilt holds Mr. Waratarvlik Innocent, la It
not snd that the name spirit that marked t'.n pbarlsres
of n'denn still hold away over" e'hrMtan" men? Thei
ahicklu ncne enacted Humlay In th prohemo or ths
fashionable congregation of tho Kltlh Avenue Pre shy
teiian Church la a fitting culmination t tbs deod
whli.n Ihir have allowoU to bo ivrrpctratcd within
thulr walln. AU honor to the brave woruau who
datvd to drfend br 1 ual anil's reputation even at ths
cost of perhaps her life. And et rnal shame on tbo
men whocomiulttd and permitted auch uutrageuua
triatmrut upon a woman In th church of Ood. May
Cnrlstlau sentiment arise tn righteous revolt against
thewtioleot this proceedtnir. and may such a case
never asulu dUKrace tho noma uf Christ.
r'lom the tone of these letters It will bo seen
that tho trial of tho missionary to thn Juwb has
made hard feelings in thu session. A number of
men in the church nnd in the session look upon
the verdict as a blow ut tbo prestige of Dr. Halt,
wbo was in a sense tbe patron of the mission
ary a work. It wus he who asked the Presbytery
to tnko the man under Its care, nnd from tho
very beginning of tbe tronblo last winter has
been his stanchest defender. It was learned
yesterday that he confidently expected that tho
scxslon would ncijult Warszawlak, and that its
failure to do so has been tbo sorest of disap
pointments tn him.
'1 ho members of the session are EwenMcIn
tro. Silas Hrownell, Hubert Ileggs. Henry 3.
Smith, John J. McCook, Henry D. llarnrs, John
Inglis, E. Francis Hyde. llllam Campbell.

Hnwland. Mr. Iirowuell, as clerk, had no vote.
Dr. Hall voted.
Sir. Itobcrl Ileggs. wboso letter Is quoted from
above, said yesterday.
" I bi'llcvo and I sincerely bopo that no serious
trouble will result lu the church over this unfor
tunate affair. I have the greatest respoet for
ni) brethren who differ from mo In this matter,
end I believe that they acted as conscientiously
as 1 did. At 'he same time. I cannot see how
they urrlvoel at tho verdict. In my mind not
only was not a single charge or specification
proved, hut everyone was eliproveil by alibis
that I cannot question. 1 was present at every
meeting and weighed all tbo evidence care
fully, and with tbo evidence offered I
could not arrive nt- any other conclu
sion than I did. Wnrszawiak was con
victed on the evidence of hired detectives In
tho fate of conclusive evidence from men of
reputation nnd standing iu the community.
What can a man do when he Is asked to doclde
between the statement of a hired dctccttvo and
that of a reputable' citizen I In my mind there
Is only one thing todo. to accept as the truth
the statement of tlia disinterested citizen. Ami
w hen In addition obvious holes can be picked in
the evidence of the detective, tho defendant's
case becomes tho stroni-cr. When Mr. Folsom
says be cashed n chock for Warszawlak nt the
time Detective Heidelberg says the man whs
gambling In Wcehawkcn, which story could I
aieoptl An additional reason why the trail-mnnj-
of the detectives should have been tnken
with great care is that two of them were Jews.
Warszaw ink is a Christian Jew and be most
naturally had their enmity, and they would tlo
nil they tauld to convict him.
"As to action of thon-velon, I am not at lib
erty to speak. The members who voted against
Warszawlak undoubtedly voted as thev be
lieved, hut I do think tho man will bo able to
clear himself of tho ehnrges. While I am not
authorized nt all to speak for Dr. Hall. I am
sure ho feels tbo same way, and I understand
that he will mukec publio statement In a few
dars defining his position In tho matter."
Mrs. Wnrsrawiak. who made a sccno In the
chun h on Sunday when the ve rtllct against hor
husband was rend, and who was removed from
tbo church, in which aha hnd ti.ken a conspicu
ous front sent, was ill In bed yesterday. Her
husband said:
" I hod no knowledge yesterday that my wife
Intended to gn to tho church or 1 should
not havo ullowcd It. Hno hnd no Inten
tion of making a sccno, but she w as nervous nnd
unstrung, and It provid to bo too mue h for her.
1 regret It exceedingly, but still I cannot
hecomo reconi lied to tho treatment she rerolved.
I am a Christian at heart, but I must say
llint such a thing would not havo happened In n
Jewish church. She is lo become a mother In a
fewnnvs, but. In spite of that, they drngged her
nut and w nu',d not let bar stay even in tho v es
llbule. and she mm compelled to go across the
Mr ''t and sit on the ntuop of a stranger's house
in til she was ublo to i.o away. In her condition
the shock was very serious. I have not given
up hope that I can dear myself nt thes charges.
I shall appeal to the Presbytery, and, If neios
snr, I shall carry the case to tho General As
sembly. Dr. Hull voted in my favor aud still
upholds me."

Mrs. Kelson welcomed the young plumber

He got up and drcsed nnd then told the girl
tint ho was going to leave her. They had sonio
words, and bo finally lay clnnn again with his
clothing on. Lena tnrew her arms about him
and began to plead with him. He fell Into a
doze, but was partly awakened by feeling her
hand withdraw a revolver which ne carried tn
his hip pexket. lleforo he was aroused suf
ficiently to appreciate tho situation, Lena had
pluceel the muzzle of tbo weapon to hor breast
and shot herself through tho heart. Her body

State Camp, Peekskim, K. Y., June 21.
From tho tlmo tbo sunrise gun roused the men
of the Seventh llegiment until tho lings of the
camp woro dropped to tho music of "Tho Star
Spangled Dannor," tho weather to-day was
porfcrt.
Under surh sklos It was not wonderful that
tho Seventh vanquished tho book of drill regu
lations. Tho task set for to-dny and to morrow
was to complete every movement In tho book
which doal with tho battalion In close order.
Tho half sot for to-day was oomploted half an
hour boforo tho regular tlmo for recall, nnd tho
men got that much extra tlmo for entortaiutng
tho host of visitors.
The hospital corps got Its promised drill to
day and this mado an Interesting show. Tho
drill began near the horpitnl tent at tho south
end of tho camp and thrro the mon were put
through the work of taking wounded from tho
field. Next the drill was carried to the mess
hall where tho broad stops and tables wero used
for a now series of demonstrations.
Men supposed to be wounded In various ways
wero put Into litters and ouch litter was
manned. First the wounded men wcrocarrloel
up tho stairs and down again, tho litters being
so handlod as to disturb the scat of the wounds
tho least possible. Then tablos woro piled two
or three high, to represent field obstacles, nnd
the woundod men nnd litters wero passed up
and over thoso until It was clear tbat every man
In tho corps knew hoiv to do such work.
Lleut.-Col. Jarvis found that ho had but little
to teach the unn.ln to-dny's lesson, for Assistant
Surgeons Colics and Huddlcstono havo been
training tho corps for somo time. The new reg
ulation which roqulres tho hospital corps to bo
n separate! body in each organization instead of
men merely detailed for such duty In oach com
pany is without doubt n gooel thing. It brings
all tho man togcthor nnd admits of some of them
doing ready for Imrucdlato duty at all times.
This was demonslrated tonight Just an the
Seventh was forming for the supper march. A
cry came down the line of "Ambulance corps
wantcdl" Tho corps Is quartered In tents of tho
first street facing tho hospital tent. In an In
stant four or five mon sprang out from their
quarters and ran toward tho source of the cry,
somo holding aloft a litter nnd oach provided
with u kit of tnodiclnos and bandages. A guard
had fainted, it wns sold afterward, nnd his 111
nurs was tut temporary; but tho demonstration
bj the hospital corps was of nono the los value.
Among the visitors of note wore three lloston
men. who were guests of tbe non-comniNsloncd
staff of the Seventh. They were Color Seryeant
J. E. A. Hus'-v nnd First SergcunlD. WZrren
nnd Mr. S. W. Wise, nil members of the First
Corps of lloston Caeicts. A party of the Seventh
also went v islting this afternoon.
CorporalJohn It. Hegcmau, Jr., has been fol
lowed to camp by his steam vacht Evelyn, and
he Invited Lieut. Walter S. Wilson ana Lieut.
A. K. Prcsslnger and about twenty-five men to
go with him to West Point. They had permis
sion from Col. Krnst to land, and visited nil tho
buildings nnd grounds of the Government mili
tary school, returning In time for supper.
Tlicro wns a welevme addition to the company
at Luxury Itow this morning in the person of
Col. J. dilates of the regular army. Ho is de
tailed by the War Department to observe and
report upon the Guard and Its doings during tbe
season. He wan In camp for tho same purpose
In 1802, hn he was President of tho Tactical
Board which arranged the newdrlll regulations,
and he was bus) watching lho working of these
also.
Many changes were made In the regulations
as the result, nnd it is rumored now that the
open order or lino of battle regulations are to be
radically changed. Their weakness was first
pointed out at PeeksMll.
tlon. Tllllnghast returned from his short yacht
ing trip with (Jen. Wnltlock. und resumed com
mand of the camp on Sunday night, but to-day
he left at noon for a longer stay, and Coh ApDle
ton took command of the post.
Tbo men at Luxury ltow this year appear to be
all workers, while many of them ore known to
be such, and there will be no time taken up with
reviews or other shows unless they bocomo
