E-1 " WASBTWOTtm. July 23. When the conference
J " resort en the Tariff bill wae taken up, Mr. Tel-
ler of Colorado addressed the Senate. He said
'. b did not favor ths bill, and did not believe that
I" It would accomplish the purpoiei of IU friends.
t IU Bassos, however, would dltpoie of the sub
ject and enable Congress to direct Itself to other
? questions. The money question be regarded ae
( the paramount one. It wae of infinitely greater
tmportanoe than the Tariff bill. Ue had la-
l tended, be aald, to enter Into an extended dis
cussion ot tho last campaign, but he felt that he
would not be justified In doing to at the last
hour of the session. It was certainty the most
v. remarkable campaign ever made In the United
i States. Its bitterness had never been excelled.
f, A system ef terrorism had boen resorted to
-J. which had never been equalled In this coun-
. '' try. lie would like to any that In hit judgment
, such thin its would not bo repeated, but he was
if; compelled to express Iho belief that from the
i success of those methods, thoy would be repeated
and would become a permanent feature of polltl-
cal campaigns. The entire publlo press that
J4js- supported tho Ilepubllcan ticket bad teemed
i with falsehoods a to the character of the Dem-
I ocrntlc candidate, and as to what would ba the
1 result If he. were elected. On the contrary.lt
'" was said that If tho I'opubllcan candidate were
? elected the dark and lowering clouds would bo
, scattered nnd tho Bunshlno of prosperity would
' spiced over tho country immediately. But ho
r was clocted nml was Inaugurated, and yet pros-
' perlly had not come.

B" section iinpon.il!: a st imp ta-c on the Isxuo and
t transfer of stocks and londs. a provision, bo
slid, which had passed the Senate with practi-
6 cal unanimity, nnd bu sh.0v.1d discrepancies in

fe(. "Yes." Sir. Whlto of California edded, "and
E It w.ia i-intUacd by the approval of tho Ilcpub-

Mr. Teller sild that If the Tariff bill were a

wnulil not produce enough; and that If it were n

fe Mr. Allen lHop N'eb.) criticised tho Houso for
4 Its attempt to coercu tho Senate into haBly c
; tlon on the Taritf bill nnd retcned to the very
V frequent appearance of Speuker Iteed ns if to
.; coerce Individual Senators. Ho (Mr. Allen)
passed the room of the Finance Committee uiew
days ago and suw that thu door asgu.irdud by
' a powerful pollienian. On inquiring why that
waa so It was suggested that the purpose was to
. keep tboHpeakorof the House irom invuulngtbe
secrecy of ibe lonfcrence lominittce. (Iiugb-
", tor.) Whether that was so or not bo did not
know; but those u ore xomo of thocxtraordlnar)
things of this extraordinary session.
Drifting Into the subject of the last election,
and alleging that great Irauds bail been pcrpe-
y trated, he put the question direct to Mr. tor-
i aker whulhcr the vote ot Ohio In 181)ti had been
i, an honest vote.
)t "The voto of Ohio," said Mr. Toraker, " was
t): an honest one, and never till this moment have
I, I beard the contrary insinuated."
1, . "The Senator can bear it insinuated now,"
' Jlr. Allen sutu.
"On whht ground do you make such an lnsln-
;. uatlon I Mr. Furaker asked.
.''On this ground," Mr. AlUn replied, "that If
4 the vote of Ohio In 1SIHI wua a lair and honest
I ono, there Is one otcr to every two nnd a halt or
C three of the population, and that In tbo city of
',.', Cleveland almost the whole population were
K Toters. The Sen itor from Ohio tun say n hut be
' sees Hi: but tho honest, thinking, candid people
&t of the United Stutcs leliec, and I Ullec, thnt
tt the election In Ohio was a rank fraud, and in
V, Illinois It as just as bad."
Mr. A'lon went 011 to denounce He-publican

Ti tlons, Instancing tho iuere sed duty on wluto
M pine lumber an "a barefaced, eownruly Bur-
A render to a low magnntCB who owned pine

, the proposition to pay export bounties on ccr
l: tain agricultural products of the United Stutes.
ft Mr. Foraker, In reply to Mr, Allen's assertion
that there was one otc returned tor every two
', and a half or three of the population, said that
i' the population ot Ohio In 1811(1 was a little over
.J, four millions, und that the oto cast was l.Oli'.',.
;; T20 votes, or one to four, which, ho said, Is the
;. normal vote.
' Allersomo skirmishing bctweon the two Sen-
b ators. Mr. Allen used the phrase; "Th it Is all

a "No." Mr. Foraker replied with animation.
II It Is not balderdash, and I do not propose to let
, the Senator make such a statement. 'I be Sena.

jf monvtealth, a State which prides herself on her

; and maintain that charge. 1 have no epithets
A to apply; no Improper Imputations locust; no
V. insinuations to make: but I do state facts, and I
ft, ask the Senator whether he accepts them.
B "The Senator." Mr. Allen said, "is growing
ti "arm, eoihuslastic, excitable, probubly Iras-
It. dole.
" Not at all," Mr. Foraker Interjected.
6 "I trust tbat he may be able to regain his
usual composure and good nature." Mr. Allen
K continued.
"It Is generally understood," Mr. Foraker in-
! torposed, " that the man who casts threats and
i, talks abopt balderdash and uses terms that are
'f O0.t appropriate Is the man who has lost bis
mind." (Laughter,)
t .,Mr: Allen, repeated his statement as to eleo-
tf tlon frauds In Ohio, and spoke of the ballot box
.5 la several places being raided by repeaters,
$ "Ichaileuge you to naiuo one place, Mr.
f, Foraker broke lu,
it ' .b.il;,8 Senator will not lose his temper,"
f Mr. Allen said.
(I 7 '.S01 IobI?b prtemper." Mr. Foraker ss-
sertedi"! am only Indignant that such a charge
1 irou? " m1 without warrant or founda-
lion.
Mr, Allen made an Insinuation connecting Mr.
f tor,,ker wlln llie rnle of a pettllogger. und Mr.
I Foraker retorlod that It was Mr. Alien who was
''.. playlugthe mn of u pettllogger.
Ji Both Senators were by this time apparently
very much In earnest, nnd eierj one In tbe
chamber and galleries .oliowed Ibe v.ordy alter-
' I SL'i00 wi l ,nlg?f 'n terest. The galleries were
I trefl tUti, Sixtyflr Senators had jut
I
ssssssssssissssai't!imfa--'I'''v
aBswered to their name and wereln thtlr
seats, and a lanre number of members bod bome
In from the House In expectation of wltnestlng
the to toon ssrMlnc to the conference report.
Mr. Allen moved from bis chair Into tbo area,
drawing nearer to tbe place where his antagon
ist stood, and It looked as If be might be dis
posed to push matters to extremities. But ho
limited himself to a logical proposition, that If
he saw an apple lying under an apple tree, he
knew that It came there by tho law of gravita
tion, and so when he saw evidences of fraud In
tbe last Ohio election, he deduced the conclusion
that frauds had been committed.
"The Senator should be able to state where
the orchard Is. Mr. Foraker mildly suggested.
"Will the Senator do It I"
" Yes," said Mr. Allen; "ono orchard was
Cleveland and another was Clnclnnsll."
"In both those cities." said Mr. Foraker, "the
vote was In the ratio of one to four of the popu
lation. There Is not a Ilepubllcan, Democrat, or
Populist In Ohio who will sustain the Senator's
statement."
" I do not care a bawbee about that," Mr. Allen
said contemptuously.
"No, I supposo you do not," Mr. Foraker re
torted. Mr. Allen continued his remarks, declaring
that he was not disposed to engage In any fili
bustering, and should not do so unless he was
forced. He spoke till G o'clock, and then yielded
to Mr. Morgan (I)em., Ala.), who. while pro
testing against the coercion which had been
used to foroo the passage of the bill, asked
unanimous consont to tako a recess till 10
to-morrow morning end to have a vote on the
conference report at 3 o'clock.
Mr. Alien looking to Mr. Faulkner of West 1
Vo.) askod whether he, too, proposed to sur
render. "Yes," said Mr. Faulkner, with a smile, "I
surrender."
"Then," said Mr. Allen, "being confronted
with a condition and not a theory, 1 shall not
ob'ect."
Tho Vice-President asked whether there was
any objection to Mr. Morgan's request for unani
mous consont. nnd added: "The Chair hears
none, and that will bo the order."
After that thero was a colloquy about the
chances for action on the resolution as lo tho
Union Pacltlc Hallway foreclosure. Mr. Morgan
proclaimed his Intention of pressing It, and of
contending against final adjournment until
thero was action upon it.
Tho question being asked Mr. Morgan whether
he expected that a quorum of Senators would
remain after the Tariff bill was out of the way.
a s r. ply was to tho effect that there could be no
n solution adopted for llnal adjournment with
out a quorum.
The Senate then took a recess until 10 o'clock
to-morrow.

Kvldeneo of speedy adjournment was fur

Pbovtdbnc. It. L, July S3. Dr. E. Benjamin
Andrews, who resigned the Presidency of Drown
University yesterday, has been elevated by
many, as was expected, to the position of a
martyr to the silver cause, and he is being
slated for high political offices by his admirers,
some solemnly asserting that he Is the logical
candidate of the stiver party for President ot
tbe United States. That moribund body, the
Dcmocratlo Bute Central Committee, met to
day, and In all seriousness passed the following
resolution:
"Jtetolted, That In case the resignation of
President E. Benjamin Andrews is accepted by
the corporation of Brown University, In the
opinion ot this committee he should, prior to the
election next April, bo selected by the Demo
cratic party or this State as its candidate for
United States Senator."
I Tho mover of tho resolution addressed tho
committee, and said that if, at the behest of the
Republican politicians and manufacturers of the
State, President Andrews Is forced to sever his
connection with tbe institution for which ho has
dono so much, the Detnocratlo party would find
In him a candidate whom they could certainly
elect as a successor to Senator Aldrlcb, whom
ho characterized as "tho tool of the Sugar
TrusL" At tbo conclusion of bis remarks the
resolution was unanimously adopted.
Kx-Chlef Justice Durfoe of tho Rhode Island
Supreme Court, one of three members of the
corporation who wero appointed to discuss the
matter of Dr. Andrews's future course, was
much surprised thnt the latter had made the
correspondence public He discussed the situa
tion freely, howovor.
"When wo separated," said Judge Durfee,
referring to the formal meeting between tho
President nnd tho committee that was appointed
to confer with htm in regard to tho interests of
the university, " wo understood he would go be
foro tho corporation In tho fall and make known
I the position that he took. In tho course of tbo
conference he admitted that he didn't think it
w as expedient fur him to make known his views
on the silver question in a public way. but he
couldn't refrain from it with his personal
friends."
"The committee told hltn they didn't core to
report If be practically agreed to what tho cor
poration desired. Wo thought tho dllllcultv
could be remedied if. in communicating with his
friends, he should take so'ne stops, so that his
friends shouldn't Immediately turn over his
letters for use In a political wa). A previous
communication had been made use 01 In that
way. an I It was felt that somo precautions
should bo taken.
" He didn't seem, nt first, to know how to do
it, but expressed a willingness to do whatever
he could Somo possible precautions nero Inter
suggested on both sides, and 1, was understood
when he nnd the committee parted thut tho
committee was satltlcd with what he was dis
posed to do, and there was a feeling that things
would adjust themselves. This letter of resig
nation came as a gro it surprise."
" Do ) ou think this remove all uncertainty as
to whether or not he will remain at Brown 1"
Inquired the reporter.
" I can't say anything about that. I supposo
all hands would bo very glad to have bim re
main. If he would forbear from utterances so
made that they woul I become public We can't
I expect u man 10 keep bis clews to himself when
talking to his friends if they want to know about
them."
Judgo Durfoe said that no person had been
considered for Dr. "Andrews's place, but that If
it was necessary lo chooson successor someone
outside or tbo i.ieully would be selected. Tho
name of Prof. Ilenjumin Ide Wheel r of Cornell
was mentioned to-daj by Ihe gosslos as a likely
successor to Dr. Andrews. Nothing; will be
ilon-. however, until tbeiucetingof the corpora
tion in r-eptemher.
I New Havkn. Conn.. July 23. Prof. Francis
Wj.ylnnd of Y. le.Dean of Ihe Law S hool and
one of the trustees of Brown l'niterlty, wbo
wrote th" letter to Pnsldcnt Andrews relative
ton dlMontlniiHnicof his frcc-sllicr teachings,
said this afternoon about tbe trouble at Brown:
"I am ttntble to say whether the resignation
of President Andrews will bo accented. 1 think
It extremely Improbable, however, that any ac
tion will be taken by tho trustees relative to the
presidency till their next regular meeting,
which will not be until Sept. 15."

Washington, July 23. Tho action of Con
gress In refusing to recede from its decision Ax
ing tho maximum price to be paid by ihe Gov
ernment for armor for naval vessels at $.100 a
ton has compelled Secretary Long to ask ship
building Arms if I hey will undertake to furnish
the plates heretofore obtained from tbe Carne
gie Steel Company and the Bethlehem Iron
Works. He wrote letters this afternoon to the
Cramp Shipbuilding Company of Philadelphia,
the L'nlon Iron Works of San Francisco, and
tho Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock
Company of Virginia, asking them If they were
prepared to establish armor plants and to com
peto In furnishing armor to tno Government.
As nntlclpited, the Carnegie and Iiothlchem
companies declined to furnish armor at f300 a
ton. Letters from both, in nniwrr to Secretary
Long's request that they submit bids for fur
nishing armor for the battleships Illinois, Ala
bama, and Wisconsin, were retell od by thoSeo

Fab Hocxavtat, la. L, July 23. The boldness
of tho robbers who ore plaguing Farllockaway
Is startling. The robbery ot the summer homes
of James U. Morgan and Frederick de Zaldo on
Wednesday night was remarkable for IU cool
ness. The burglars ate fruit and cake from tho
larder; transferred silverware from ono bouse to
another, after which they rejected the plated
and took the solid ware; stole two bicycles, and
mode off without having alarmed the Inmates of
either house. Tho robbery of the Desmond cot
tage last night was equally bold. After that an
attempt was mado to rob the house of D. Wis
sermon, on the Jamaica Bay shore. In the Days
water district of tho village.
Joel D. Goodman, who lives In the Desmond
cottage, is a hosiery importer whose store Is at
403 Broadway, New York. Last night ho and
his family retired at about 10 o'clock. Good
man, bis wife, and two children slept In the see- '
ond story front room. Goodman's vest hung
from a chair at his bedside. In the vost was a
gold watch valued at $150, apockotbook con
taining 6150 and some tickets for trips across
the wooden bridge over the Inlet here to tho
bathing beach. About 2 A. M. Goodman awoke.
He says be felt nauseated. He reached for his
watch to see the time. Tho watch was gone.
Ho lighted a lamp. He went through his pock
ets hastily; the pocketbook was there, but the
money and the bridge tickets were gone.
Examination showed thnt the burglars en
tered through a rear kitchen win ow. which
they easily pried open. None of the Inmates of
tbe cottage heard a sound. Goodman suspected
that be had boen chloroformed, but thero was
no odor of the drug In tbe room,
KJward Leach, a messenger boy. says that
while delivering a messago in Bayswater about
0:20 o clock ns he passed a fence he beard tbe
sound of men's voices. IIo listened. The men
were planning tho burglary of tho Wasierman
houso for 1 o'clock. Leach hurrle J back to the
village and Informed Policeman Shea. The po
liceman went to tbe Wasserman houso and saw
two men on tho back porch working at tho
kitchen door. The men heard him and took to
their heels. Young Loach says that while walk

A POTEHTT-STRICKEir LANDLORD.
Charles Sanruna-a Teaants Laagfa at Damands
tor neat and DeTj lllm.
Tbe curious story of a property owner and
landlord who has been reduced to penury by the
refusal of his tenants to pay rents was brought
to light yesterday in tho Second District Civil
Court at Williamsburg, when Charles Nahrung
of 50 Clyraer street brought proceedings to dis
possess eleven tenants.
Nahrung Is not only the heir to a one-thira In
terest In the bouses at 50, 52. and UO Clymer
street, but he Is also the administrator of his
mother's estate, to which the houses belong,
and should therefore have tbe handling of all
the Income, but bis tenants have so continuously
refused to pay that be has been reduced to the
barest straits and el en had to depend for his
food upon htlp extended to him by u sister.
The property in question was accumulated by
Nahrung's father, who was tbe Introducer of
the wire nail into this country. He was klllod
In 1S73 by n collision on Iho ferrjboat Alaska.
Ho left trio houses to his widow, and she died
two years ago. A oar before her death Charles
Nahrung was appointed to collect the rents,
and from tint time the Income from the houses
began to dwindle Nahrung was so easy and
Eood-natored thut when 11 ten int got tx-hind-nnd
with his rent he would give him his own
time In which to pay up.
After Nahrung was made administrator two
years ago the tenants ceased to par at all and
only laughed nt him when be demanded money.
Toadd to Ihe complication ot matters. Nahrung a
brother Willi ,m died a jearugo. and bis widow
began proceedings to have the estate parti
tioned, and receii ly sho notified all the tenants
that under no circumstances should they pay
any rent to Nahrung. Then the tenants became
defiant s well as deretl t.
Mr.Nahninr finally lost patience and engaged
lawyers to hate tho tenants dispossessed, and
these proceedings are pending.

THE RIGHT TO TAX A STATE.

PortTLAND. Me., July 23. A lively question in
this Stale Is whether tho Federal Government
has the right to call on the Maine Statu Liquor
Commissioner to pay a tax. The Collector of
Internal Revenue summonoi the Maine State
liquor a-rent to pay a tax on tbe ground that he
Is in the liquor business. Tho Governor nnd
Council asked Attorney-General Hayne's opin
ion on the matter. He has just decided that
there Is no warrant In tho United Slates Consti
tution for tbe tax.
This opinion Is of especial Interest ot this
time beciuse South Carolina, which runs the
liquor business as a State monopoly. Is nowln
control orsy with the Federul cjorernment over
u question similar to th it which Is raised In
Maine Tho difference between the Maine law
outlawing the saloon nnd tbe South Carolina
law ligalizingthe saloon Is Ihe different e bc
twocn tbo exercise of police pow pr tor protection

ta the rutetle Campetltlve Examinations
Hew tteaalred by the Civil Service Bales.
Albany, Juiy 23. Of the twenty-eight joung
women who entered the civil sorvlce examina
tion betd on Wednesday for "fitness" of can
didates for the post of stenographer In the
Stato Excise Department only eight succeeded
In getting m rating of 35 or over In order to
enable them to got on the eligible list. Tbe rea
son why eighteen of these young women
failed was not their lack ot knowledge. In the
opinion of State Exolso Commissioner Ucnry IL
Lyman, In speaking ot tho examination to
night he said that be did not think the open
competitive examination for civil service rating
Is nearly as fair a test for women as for men,
who are less llablo to suffer from nervousness.
" Womon are not naturally gamblers," he con
tinued, "and cannot keep as cool as men whlto
going through an examination which, at best.
Is largely n, lottery, and concerning tho result
of which they are so anxious. The average
young lady of education and good breeding Is
too delicately constituted, too finely strung, lo
be subjected to tho publlo competitive test pre
scribed by Iho present law without dangerous
strain and damaging embarrassment The dread
of failure, where falluro moans mortification to
herself and friends, as well as tbo loss of the
long-coveted chance to earn money for her press
ing necessities, half pnralyzcs ber at the start,
and her temporary nervous weakness leaves her
helpless todo her usually good work or intelli
gently answer easy questions.
"The examination of Wednesday was not
severe, and was Intended to be so conducted as
to place every ono ut ber ease. Tho result proves
that this was far from tho case, and tbo doctor's
record showed abnormally high pulse In nearly
all the applicants. lr.. from 00 to 140, only
three or four being below 100. In the recent
examination for men tor sp-clal agents tho
pulse record was from 69 to IK). A xery bright
young lady, well known to bean excellent and
accurate stenographer nnd typewriter, said to
me thit she could not go on with the examina
tion, and that when taking tbe 'merit' nxm
lnailon last March sho could not see her ma
chine one-half of tbe time, and thereby got an
extremely low rating, which would dobtr her
from any chance of public employment.
" It will be said that tho f-imo difficulty exists
among young ladies In school examinations,
which Is undoubtedly true: in fact, xery many
hrlRhtyoung ladies are annually broken down
and ruined thereby; but it only establishes still
stronger the claim that some better svstem,
some less cold-blooded method should 'be de
vised for ascertaining the relative qualifica
tions snd deciding the preference to be given
young ladles who apply for positions in the
public service

aged 1& years, employed in the meat market of
Thornton Crocker, and son of Chris Hunt, a
prosperous Sullivan county farmer of this town,
had rather a novel experience j esterday. Young
Hunt Is the owner of a small pug dog which
weighs 21 pounds and is a great pet Yesterday
he took the pug down to tho Delaware River for
a bath. It Is a wild little fellow, ana Hunt
attached a small rope of about fifty feet In
length to the pug's neck so ss not to lose
him. lie took the dog out in a boat and set blm
ado-it. At this point large German carp are very
numerous and the city boarders go wild after
Uiem. it Is not an unusual thing to sec from
fifteen to twenty boats In the eddy with men nnd
rifles to shoot tbe fish which come to the surface
of the water for food. Thcso fish do not Hte at
a hook, hut take food like a tucker. As Hunt's
pug struck out nnd was making hia way for the
shore he wns swallowed by one of these big fish.
The rope nttacbed to the dog here came Into
good service
When Hunt saw his favorite disappear nnder
the w ater he r pldly pulled In the cord, and suc
ceeded In landing the carp and extricated the
pug, which wns more dead than alive. The
erp w iched over twenty pounds. It was ,
taken to Crocker's market, and made a feast for '
the inb ibir ints. Crock t laughinalv said this 1
morning that hereifler when ho waited fresh
fish for his customers he would cend young I
Hunt and his do down to the river for a bath.

Private Detective at Wark aa tba Case,
DitUHJirortT, Conn,, July 2a The authorities
havo acted promptly In the Nichols murder
case This morning Stato Attorney Fessenden
asked authority of Oor. Cooke to offer a reward
of $3,000 for the capture of the murderers.
Miss Mary Nichols, sister ot George M. Nichols,
tho murdered man, and who was also shot by
the robbers, has already signified her Intention
of offering a liberal reward, probably $5,000.
Tbo town of Trumbull will also msko an offer,
and altogether tho sum will probably reach
f 10,000. Two special detectives are at work oa
the case With Superintendent of Police Bir
mingham and Detectives Arnold and Cronln of
this city and Deputy Sheriff Plumb of Trumbull,
they went over the grounds and house on the
Nichols property to-day. Thus far do clue what
ever has been secured. One of the detectives Is
Wtlkos, of Plnkerton's force, wbo worked on the
recent East Norwalk case which resulted In the
conviction of murder In the first degree of the
two Italians. Fuda and Impossina
The condition of Miss Mary Nichols has Im
proved greatly, and there Is every probability of
her recovery. People living for miles around
have driven to tbe Nichols homestead to-day,
and at any hour dozens of teams could be seen
hitched near tho house. The funeral of the
murdered man will take place to-morrow after
noon. Loomls Sterling, a New York lawyer and
a first cousin of the dead man, arrived to-day,
and is In charge of the house. All the valuable
papers found In the houso are in charge of Cor
oner Doten In this city. They represent upon
their face a little more thin 9100.000 In value
and consist of stocks and bonds.
Tbe murdered man was n second cousin of ths
aged Jobn M. Nichols, at Nichols Forms, whose
house was robbed about two months ago. The
two men lived only three miles apart. In each
case the crime took nlace upon a rainy night,
and entrance was effected by an outside cellar
door. In each case the burglars took only
money, leaving b.'blnd valuable jewelry. Ths
silver In George Nichols's house was not touched,
although the men could easily have carried It
away. In each case there was a loquacious
burglar, who talked of his own mother and sis
ters, and, despite his cruelty, seemed to have a
soft place In his heart.
In each case the burglars promised to notify
the nearest neighbor of their crime and in
neither was the promise kept. In each case ths
burglars appeared to be familiar with tbe house H
Its Interior, and the surroundings. They were H
In no hurry to depart, feeling secure when ono Hj
within tho walls.
These and other similarities In the commission
of the crimes have caused the authorities to H
believe that the same men committed both H
burglaries. In each Instance there were two H
masked men. and the victims described them as
short, rather stout, and probably Americans.
