The Only Paper Between Galveston, Texas, and Los Angeles, California, that Publishes the Full Dispatches of the Associated Press. VOL. I. PHOENIX. THURSDAY MORNING-, JULY 3, 1890. 3STO. 46' The Arizona Republican. I RED i DAY. Flic House Passes the Federal Election Bill. Springer Leads the Hopeless Democratic Opposition. In the Semite, There Was a Lively Debate on the American Merchant Marine. By the Associated Pre.J Vhiiinton, July 2. 111 the Senato Mr. Plumb, from the committee on iulilic lnmls, reported tlie Senate hill to rovil for the delivery of lmul patents. Statements were miule by Mr. l'lunib, Mr. Paddock and Mr. Berry that there were some 250,000 land patents accumu lated in the general land office, for which those entitled to tliein had not applied. The bill passed. Mr. Hiscock called up his motion to re consider the vote by which tho Senato yesterday refused to recede from the amend incuts to the legislative appropria tion bill. The motion was agreed to and after debate the Senato receded from the amendments. The bill now goes to the president. The senate proceeded to tho considera tion of the two Senato bills reported from the committee on commerce to place the American merchant marine engaged in foreign trade upon an equal ity with that of other nations and to provide for an ocean mail and tho se curity of the service lietween the United States and foreign ports and to promote the service. Frye aidtho first hill was a bounty on tonnage and the f-econd was known as the postal subsidy bill. He declared that unles Congress did something to aid American ships, and that speedily, that there would soon not be a single steamship line traversing tho ocean car rying the American flag. At one time he was going to discuss tho tarifrin con nection with thee bills. There is, he said, referring to tho American carrying trade) n dead body. He wanted to know whether it was worth while to resurrect and bring life into it. He could not understand the innermost thought and feelings of tho American cituen who could listen to a statement of the facts aliout our foreign carrying trade and not feel an impulse to go back once moro on tho ocean to where the United States stood in such proud conspicuousness thirty years ago. The American carrying trado is dead for want of protection. If was the only great American industry of which the same could be said. The people of the United states had paid $50,000,000 a j ear to keep alivo tho sugar growing in dustry of the United States; $0,000, 000 a year would revive the dead body of the American merchant marine and keep it on the ocean. Mr. Vest addressed the Senato in opposition to subsidy bills. Tho foreign carrying trade was languishing and almost dead, but bo was the cattle trade, and yet if he wero to proiioso a subsidy for the" cattle trade the proposition would be attacked as the most mon strous ever heard. Ho went on to speak of tho Pun-American Congress as a " chestnut," a back number. It was half mode up when tho Harrison administration came into existence and the restless and ambitious spirit of tho present Secretary of State seized iiKn it and concluded to parade it liefore the country as a great and phenomenal victory. Tho leaders of tho Republican party had always advocated the necessity of doing away with foreign commerce. " But a sudden and mar elous change had come. The Senator from Maine wanted to give subsidies to vessels in foreign trodc so as to bring about increased trade, not only with the South American states, but nKo with all tho European countries and the world at large. The effect, Mr. Vest said, of subsidizing nnv particular lino was to discourage all others. Mr. Vest yielded tho floor without coneluding h'is speech and Mr. Frye said he hoped to have the Senate act to morrow on both bills as ho intended to call up tho river and harbor bill on Mon day. An executive session ensued. Ad journed. In the Home. Washington, July 2. The House re sumed the consideration oi the Federal election bill, the pending question being on an amendment oflored by .Mr. Tucker of Virginia, requiring tho judge of the Circuit Court, associated with tho Dis trict Judge, to pass upon tho applica tion for Supervisors of election. Mr. Springer moved to lav tho bill on the table. Lost, 149 to 152. Mr. Springer, before the vote was announced, changed fioin aivo to no, and moved to reconsider. Mckinley said no honest man could object to tlie bill. It was said the bill w mild be expensive, would cost millions ; that assumed that the S'!0 districts of the country would Invoke the operation of tlie law and there was not n man who did not know that not 100 districts would invoke its operations. They would diminish tho cost of the administration of law in the ratio in which they diminihh fraudulent voting, false counting, ballot Imjx stufliug and the suppression of votes. (Republican applause.) It would cost nothing if there was no need for it. Thin question would not rest until justice was done. It was tho supremo duty of the nation to enforce the constitution and tho laws of tho United States. Let tho gentle men on the other side oliey them as tho Republicans obeyed them. For he told them that the iieoplo of the North would not permit two votes in the South to count as much as live votes in tho North. (Republican applause.) Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, said Re publicans might, like madmen, grasp the pillars of the constitution and mill down the edifice, but liko Samson they would perish in the work. If ho could register a wish in heaven ho would ask not for the extension of lioundarics or tho multiplication of territory, not for flowing rivers and fertile fields, but that the man who laid violent hands upon the constitution might drop dead as did mu sacriiigious jew wno nuu ins impi ous hand upon tho Ark of tho Covenant. Democratic applause. Follette, of Wisconsin, made eloquent pleas in lavor of tlie mil. The hour of 2 o'clock having arrived, tho speaker declared the previous ques tion ordered on the bill and pending an amendment. Mr. Springer moved to lay the bill on the table. Lost yeas, 148; navs. 110. Mr. Springer changed his vote from the afllrmativo to the negative in order to move a reconsideration. This, upon the motion of Mr. Rowoll was laid upon the table; yeas, 153; nays, 148. rne vote men recurreu on Mr. iiemp- inii's amendment, (relative to tlie use ot troops at the polls) and it was rejected. Yeas, 145 : nays, 150. Mr. Springer (having voted in tho negative for the purpose) moved to re consider. The motion was tabled. Mr. Springer moved to lay tho bill upon the table, stating his former mo tion was to table the hill, and pending the amendment the speaker ruled tho motion out of order. Mr. Springer op pcaled and the appeal was laid on the table. Yeas, 158: nays, 140. Mr. Springer having voted in tho ntlirmntivo moved a reconsideration. Mr. Grosvenor made the point of order that this was a dilatory motion, a point which was sustained by the speaker. Mr. Springer appealed, but the speaker declined to entertain the appeal. Mr. Springer protested that this was the first time in tho history of the govern ment that a motion to reconsider was not recognized, but his voice was drowned in the calls for the regular order from the Republican side. Mr. Springer moved to adjourn. Lost, nnys, 147; nays, 157. Tlie bill was then ordered engrossed and read a third time. Yeas, 157; nays, 148. Mr. Hemphill moved to recommitteo the bill. Lost, yeas, 148; navs, 150. Mr. Coleman and Mr. Lelilbach voted with the Democrats in tho affirmative. Mr. Springer (having voted in the negative) moved a reconsidertion. Tallied. Mr. Outhwaite moved an adjourn ment, which tho Speaker ruled out as dilatory. Mr. Springer demanded a reading of tho engrossed bill. But the Speaker was prepared for this demand, the bill having been engrossed in advance, and a burst of applause came from tho Re publican side when the clerk legan reading. Two hours were consumed in tho reading. The question then recurred on the passage of tho bill. As the call was in progress tlie great est interest was manifested on both sides of the House. As Mr. Coleman of Virginia cast his vote with the Democrats, he was greeted with applause from that side of the House, and the applause was reinforced with cheers when Lehlbach of New Jer sey also cast his vote against the meas ure. The Republicans retaliated in kind, and as the Southern Republicans, Messrs. Houx, Taylor of Tennessee, Waddell, Mudd of .Maryland, and Wil son of Kansas recorded their votes in the affirmative, cheer after cheer was given. The bill was passed. Yeas, 155; nays, 140. The House then, at 20:5, adjourned. THE DISTRICT COUItT. FIELD DAY YKSTEKDAY FOIt THE .SMALLER ACTIONS.

TUCSON BREVITIES. THE 1IASK HALL CLUH WILL OO TO TOMH8TONE ON THE FOURTH. Decided Ilevlral of Mining Intercuts In l'lma County Cattle Heine Held for Hotter Prices Shipment East. Correspondence The Republican. Tucson, Ariz., July 1. The members of the Tucson Base Ball club are look ing forward to their trip to Tombstone, on the Fourth, with much pleasure, and feel quite confident of making a lietter showing than they did in the recent base ball tournament at Tucson, when they met and were defeated by the Tombstone club, several times. The fact that the Tucson club is composed of young men actively engaged in business pursuits, makes any very extensive practice out of the question, but the material of which the club is composed is good and tho boys have a fair show to redeem themselves in the coming con test. Tlie mining outlook in the southern part of Pima county is particularly en couraging. Good strikes are being made and prospecting is being energetic ally pushed. A man is not fashionable in Pima county unless ho is interested in sonic live prospect, or has his men in the field, grub staked for a long enough period to secure success. The general activity in this direction speaks well for tho future. Tucson cattlemen are hard to deal with at present prices. Practically speaking there are no cattle in Pima county for sale ; everyone is holding ior better prices, which will come in tho fall. During the past four months Pima county has shipped all its surplus stock of beef and feeders, and the ranges, as well as the ranchmen, have been relieved. Next fall when the festive California buyer comes into our market ho is going to find a very different stnto of alfairs from those heretofore existing. The California buyers have come to the conclusion that California must of neces sity bo Arizona's sole market, while during the past year fivo steers have gone to the Kast and the Northwest, to every one that has gone to California, and in the future this same ratio will be observed unless tho buyers sent into Pima county from the Golden State con duct themselves in a more business-like way and deal on a fair basis. A quarter of a million dollars has been paid for cattle in Pima and Cocliise counties within four months. Hon. Charles R. Drake leaves Tucson this week en route to Milwaukee to at tend the conference of the Knights of Pythias, and will while absent travel extensively through tho east for recrea tion. The Southern Pacific boys are waiting the arrival of the pay car with great anxiety, ns tho celebration on the Fourth depends, to a certain extend, on a full pocket and an easy conscience, and who ever heard of a railroad man with an easy conscience in the absence of a full pocket. The railroad employees are a great addition to Tucson. Commissioner of Immigration Black has starteil on this tour around the Ter ritory in search of the meterial for his forthcoming work. He expects to be absent six to eight weeks. News is received oi the severe illness of the Hon. Ben Hereford, District Attorney of Pima county, who is so journing among relatives in tho East for ids health. Judge Hereford is an old timer, having friends all over tho Terri tory who will be anxious to hear of his convalescence. Mr. Frank Hereford left on Monday to attend his father. Judging from what is heard on the street about future buildings to bo erected in Tucson, brick and frame will bo the material largely employed. This will add much to the appearance of tho town and lie equally cool and comfortable. j. jr Interest in the Realization Stakes Yesterday. Easily Won by Tournament by a Walkover.

The Demo cratic State convention for the nomina tion of State officers met this morning. Mr. Eckley B. Coxe was chosen tem porary Chairman. After the recess ex-Postmaster Har rity of Philadelphia, was elected per manent chairman. The platform adopted endorses Cleve land's administration and compares it with Harrison's; recommends ballot reform and such policy in the coinage of silver as will keep both gold and (diver coins in circulation, or Treasury notes redeemable in tho same; deprecates and denounces the unequal apportion ment of districts for the election of Congressmen and expresses the be lief that the voters of the State should be allowed to make their own apportionment; accepts the issue of Quayism and says . that the silence of Mr. M. S. Quay under the charges made against him through the pul lic press can only Iks interpreted as a confession of guilt and his retention of a seat in the United States Senate while refusing to demand a legal investigation is a national scandal ; the Republican party is arraigned for usurpation of power in the administration of Federal government for placing a dictator in the chair of the speaker of the House; for open disregard of the civil service law ; for failures to fulfil the promises to the soldiers; for its ceaseless efforts to promote sectional strife; for the lavish and reckless expenditure of pub lic money; for the passage through the House of the McKinley bill which re duces the tax only on the luxuries ; for the failure to enforce laws against the importation of contract and pauper labor; for an attempt to pats a Federal election law, designed to excite a race war; for its corrupt methods in popular elections and cringing subserviency to a party boss who stands mute before the most terrible accusations ever nude against a public official.
