"How can we do it ?" Sell

No matter, you are not inter

The Maryland Boas Mir» up a
Horutt's Meet.
Washington, August 4.—There was as
lively a tilt in the (Senate yesterday be
tween Senator» Gorman and Edmund» as
the one bstwenn Ingalls and Voorheee
which raised such a breeze some time ago,
with the exception that neither gentlemen
descended to the vituperative abuse which
characterized Mr. Voorbees'e utterance» on
that occasion. Yesterday's war of words
arose during the discneelon of Mr. Cnl
lom's resolution instructing the committee
on inter-state commerce to ascertain and
report whether any United State» railroad
lines are owned, operated or controlled by
the Grand Trunk or the Canadian Pacific,
or any other Canadian reilway companie*.
Also, whether commerce originating in the
United State» ia diverted from American
to Canadian lines, to what extent, and in
what manner. Also, whether discrimina
tion is practiced in the charges for tolls
against American vessels in the Welland
and Bt. Lawrence canals. Alec, to inquire
into the question of the regulation of com
merce carried on by railroad or waterways
between the United States and Canada.
Mr. Gorman, after reading statistics of
the subsidizing of the Canadian road» by
the government, »aid ail these millions
which had been poured out as subsidies had
made It possible to bnlid the Canadian road
at a cost far below that of American roads
a ad to operate it at a lose If that should be
come necessary to break up American lines.
The temptation offered by these subsidies
had been too great for our American citi
zens. '
In Poore'» Manual there would be found
of Americana boldly pro
some names
claimed who had associated themselves In
this enterprise, at of coure» they bad a per
fect right to do—some of; the moet dis
tinguished men in the United Btatee, some
who are candidates for high office». The
second office of the government might go
to a director of the Canadian Pacific.
Mr. Gorman here read a lit* of the offi
cer» and directors of the road, among the
directors appearing the name of Levi P.
Morton and William L. Scott. Mr. Gor
man submitted that it ie time tor the
American Congress, without regard te
party, to recognize this condition of
affaire. The Americans whose names he
bad read as directors of the Canadian Pa
eifle roada had a perfect right to become
such.
Mr. Mitchell interrupted, and said If the
senator from Maryland had taken the
trouble to read the names of directors of
the Western Road, which has lately fallen
into the hands of the Canadian Pacific, he
would have seen the name of the Chairman
of the Democratic National Executive
Committee.
Mr. Gorman said he had no doubt of it,
but that gentleman was not a candidate
for office. He did not believe there onght
D be any partisanship in this question,
but es the senators from Oregon had
brought It out eo pointedly he desired to
express the belief that no man who is a
candidate for high office, whether he be
Democratic or Republican, who, if elected,
might become President of the United
States, could properly accept the office
until he had purged himself of every inter
est in this British enterprise.
Democrat and the senator from Massa
chusetts (Mr. Hoar) as a Republican, both
as American citizens ought to be here to
day in private council discussing these mat
ters ae persona aiding this administration
and counseling and advising it so as to pro
tect not only the great transportation in
terests, but everything that falls in bis
He as a
way.
Senator Gray asked whether any part of
the British subsidy comes to the railroad
which is building through the State of
Maine.
Mr Gorman conld not speak with abso
lute accuracy, bnt from his best informa
tion that road received from the British or
Canadian government twenty five thousand
dollars a mile for its construction. This
ought to be no longer tolerated, and he was
glad that the senator from Illinois had in
troduced this resolution,
be probed to the bottom He knew the
struggle to which it would give rise in the
States of Maine and Vermont, where the
roads were being built and great as his
friend from Vermont (Mr. Edmunds) was
he doubted very mach whether he was pre
pared to drop all partisanship and join the
Democrats in wiping out this in'erest, not
as Democrats, bnt as American citizens
Mr. Edmunds said the fault with the
Democratic party was that the only thing
democratic about it was its name
party had had control of the House of Rep
resentatives 10 or 12 years The Represen
tatives were the tri» unes of the people.
They were expected to tike care of the
people's great Interests and control the
revenues, and yet no attempt bad been
made in all that time to rectify those pro
digious evils which the Senator from Mary
land had now for the fij-st time discovered
It was possible that some interests in the
state of Mary land might have stlmnlat-d
that Senator, !o the form of the Baltimore
and < >hi I Railroad Company (of which he
was understood to be an honored and most
valuable director), to a mere in tense inter
est than general patriotism would have
done. That was perfectly right, because
it the Senate was composed only of men
who had no personal interests in the
country it would be a very poor legislative
body.
Let the matter
That
Mr. Gorman admitted that he was
director of a railroad company, and »aid
that the Senator from Vermont would
scarcely be able to appreciate why. He
was not a private director of any rail
road. but when the great railroad which
the State of Maryland had helped to build
np, was about to go over to that very syn
dicate which controlled the Canadian
roads, he was sel-cted as a public man to
represent the interests of bis state and to
prevent the syndicate, which was con
trolling the Maine road and the Vermont
road, from taking the Baltimore and Ohio
road. He trusted that hie friend from
Vermont would perge himself at be (Mr.
Gorman) bad pnrgad himself.
Hr. Edmonds said he wonld purge him
self by the statement that he had never
been a director in any railroad whatever.
Be did not, however, see the distinction
between being a director to represent the
interests of the Btate of Maryland and a
director to represent private interests.
There wee, however, one thing that
might be taken as true on both sides of the
Chamber, and that was that the physical
geography of the globe could not be
changed either by the Saint Louie or the
Chicago platform by Preeldeut Cleveland
or hie suoceeeor, Preeldent Harriton.
round globe would continue to be juet what
It wee, and if the route from Japan to
Liverpool was 500 mile« ehorter acroee
Canada than through the United States it
would remain 500 miles ehorter. It goods
oould be carried cheaper between IJver
pool and Hong Kong across Canada oom
marcs would seek that route.
It was true that so long as money oonld
be found to run the Canadian line at a lose
and to carry goods at half coat, It might be
done and the United States could not help
it.;it had to be said, however, that the con
trast between the governments of the
United States and of Great Britain in re
gard to encouraging trade commerce and
manufacturers war very great. The British
government subsidised railways and estab
lished colonies and consulates, and re
sented and got instant reparation for
wrongs to Us snbjeots. The government
of the United States as at present consti
tuted did not do that. The Senate had
year after year endeavored in some small
degree (not half what it ought to have
done) to promote American interests. It
bad endeavored to promote the constrno
tion of the Nicaragua Canal, which would
command the trade of the globe, railroads,
or no railroads. It had endeavored to
encourage trade in the South American and
other countries by the smalleet of mall sub
sides to ships.
Bat the Democratic House of Represen
tatives said ''No," and the Democratic
Senators in the mass said ••No." And yet
the senator from Maryland stood up and
said that tbs senators on the one side were
partisans and tbs senators on the other (the
Democrats) were patriots. If he were to
quote somebody be should say: "Obi
shams, where is thy blush ?"
That was the undeniable history of the
matter, not halt stated. The senator from
Maryland had intimated that the division
la the Banats on the Fishery treaty showed
the partisans to be on the Republican side
and (not on the other side. And yet, not
eighteen months ago (too long, perhaps, for
any Democratic senator to remember) the
Senator bad unanimously stood op for
American rights and directed the President
what he ought to do, and bad given him
the power to do it.
And now, eighteen months afterwards,
the British Hon had opened his mouth and,
os the Irishman would say, hoped to swal
low them all by making a new treaty still
better for British interests than any pre
vious one.

William F Willing of this city, the
wortbleae husband who had several times

was sent to Philadelphia after his escape
last night and he was arrested at the Broad
street station upon bis arrival there. Re
quisition papers will be msde ont as soon
as possible, and Willing will be brought to
this city for trial.
The shooting occurred at 0 30 o'clock
last evening at the southeast corner of
Taylor and Poplar Bts. Ha alio .îred two
shots at Jonathan R. Lofland, drug clerk
In Dr. T. A. Brown's store, which Is part
of the dwelling house. Willing is » worth
less fellow and tor some time baa nut been
supporting hi* wife. He deserted her re
peatedly, bnt ehe bad usually allowed him
to return and live with her. Ha bad been
away from this city tor six months, but
returned on Thursday and wanted
to take np hie abode with Mrs.
Willing again. Bhe refused him, because
of hie bad habits. Hie brother advised her
to have him arrested and she bad intended
to do so. Last evening be went into
Brown's drug store and asked for a cigar,
for which he tendered a 35 cent piece. The
clerk started to make the change when
Willing said, "D—n the change," and
threw the cigar at the clerk. He then
asked where hie wife was, and the clerk
replied that she was in the dining-room.
W tiling drew a revolver from hie pocket
and pointing it at Ixifland said:
"Show me where my wife le." At the
point of the revolver the clerk wee
forced to lead the way to the dining room,
which could be entered from the store.
Willing then ordered Lofland to alt down.
Mrs. Willing waa In the room, and when
she saw the revolver she ran into tbs kit
chen and thence to the yard. Willing fired
at her ae ehe started, but the ball missed
the mark. It struck the round of the chair
on which the bad I «en sitting, cutting it oil
clean. In the mean while the drug clerk
was preparing to escape. He started to
wards the door leading to the entry,
when Willing shot at him;
the clerk reached the door
Willing tired again. Lofland ran through
the store and down Poplar Bt. to 7th,where
be telephoned to the police station. Mrs.
W tiling bad gone ont through the yard and
hurried to 410 Taylor street, where she re
mained until the arrival of the police.
Willing, having cleared the house, thought
It about time to leave. He ran into the
yard and jumped over the fence into an
alley running from 8th to Taylor Bt. He
ran about half the distance and then
turned into an alley leading from Poplar to
Lombard Bts. He If it ble coat and revol

His flight was down to Lombard Bt. and
from there directly to the railroad station,
which he reached juet before the 10 o'clock

boarded the engine and was taken along.
As soon ae the telephone message reached
the polios station, Bpecial Officer Bmith
was detailed to look op the matter. The
officer with several otters searched the
house for the would be murderer, but the
search was unavailing.
Willing is about 30 years of age, 5 feet
11 Inches tall, having a sandy moustache.
He generally wears a sack coat and Is
slightly round-shouldered.
The revolver, which was found in the
alley, was a seven-shot, self cocking 48
