Tariff Debate Drags Ita Weary 1 eagth
Alasng la tha Senate—Appro
priation Bills In tho
House.
By the Associated Press.
Washington, May 15.—1n the eenate
today Alien introduced a resolution call
ing upon the secretary of the treasury
Jor information of the total number of
persons engaged iv protected industries ;
the number whose wages are claimed to
be sfleeted: the proportion of persons
in the United States dependent upon a
foreign market (or the sale of products;
the number engaged in urotected indus
tries who are native citizens; the num
ber naturalised and tbe number of
aliens; also the proportion of native or
naturalized citizens being displaced
by aliens.
Chandler asked that tbe resolution go
over until tomorrow, and that Allen in
tbe meantime ascertain whether it is
possible (or the secretary to comply
with the request.
Allen called attention to the fact that
a similar resolutlcn was passed in 1886.
The resolution went ever.
The bill providing for a naval training
station on tbe Pacific Coast met with
the < of Mitchell of Oregon
and Squire of Washington, becaase it
specified Sau Francisco harbor as the
location.
The tariff bill waa taken up and tho
chemical schedule was passed.
Aldrich's amendment, plscing a dnty
of 15 per cent on coat tar preparations
net provided for in the bill, was de
feated.
A discussion arose over a report pre
sented by Voorheea allowing theievenue
wbich would be raiaed under the bill as
it passed tbe houae, and also as modified
by tbe pendiug senate amendments,
baaed upon lent year's importations.
Allison complained that the report
presented by Voorheea waa net an eeti
mate at all. It wae, be aaid, an exact
computation of the revenue to be raiaed
under a propoaed bill, baaed upon a
former law.
Aldrirh declared the senat rs on the
other side, responsible for the legisla
tion, must have some idea of the rev
enue to be raiaed by thia bill. If tbey
had, it was clearly their duty to pre
sent their ideas of this subject to the
senate.
"Oh," said Veßt, "we do not propose
to go into tbe dominion of conjecture to
allow senators on the other side to fili
buster."
"We are not filibustering," shouted
balf a drzen Republicans.
"You are not filibustering ?" said Vest
with tamper. "Then what do you call
it? You spend hours here in alleged de
bate on the moat insignificant matters.
We want to diapoee oi this bill. Your
tactics will not prevail," aaid Vest,
raining his hand impressively. "We
intend to pasß this bill if it takes nntil
•he H-uw flies next winter."
Aldrieh protested that the Republi
cans bad no disposition to interpose
factious oppositiou. Tney would debate
it lairly and properly, but tbey would
not filibuster.
An amendment by Lodge to make
copperas dutiable at three-tenthß of a
ceut per pound was defeated.
Quay asked tbat 25 cents specific be
substituted for 20 per cent on oxide of
cobalt. Jones accepted tbe substitute
The amendment reatoring the rate on
coloring for brand<. wine, beer aud other
liquors (60 per cent) was adopted; also
the Jones amendment, transferring

Washington, May 16 —Speaker Crisp

death of Mrs. t'riep's mother. In a let

The nave! appropria ion bill was taken
up. Cummiugs' substitute, providing
that hei palter no cudet should be ap
pointed who was not a resident of the
congressional district be is appointed to
•epresent, wae agreed to.
When the paragraph relative to armor
plate and armament was reached, Mei
alejohn offered au amendment pro
viding for the appointment by
the speaker ol a select committee
of nine members, witn full power
to investigate tbe alleged armor plate
fraude by the Carnegie Steel company
or Carnegie, I'hipps ... Co , and the as
sessments against the company by tbe
president. Ouamiugs made a point of
order against the amendments, which
the chair sustained.
Tbe puragiaph authorizing the secre
tary of the navy to use $451),600 appro
priated by tbe act of March 2, 1889, for
Ihe construction, armament and equip
ment of three torped ) boats to cost not
niure than $450,«0U, was adopted.
At 8;48 consideration of the bill in
committee of tne whole waa ended, tbe
committee arose, and at 2:54 the bill
was paesed.
Tbe bouso then went into committee
ol the whole ami the agricultural appro
priation bill was taken up. Alter tbe
reading of the bill in lull tbe com
mittee rose in order to allow Dockery,
from tbe committee on appropriations
to report to the nouse the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill,
when the committee of the whole re
sumed ita aession.
At 4:12 o'clock general debate closed
on the oill and it wae read by para
graphs for amendment. During the
reading of the bill Reed took occasion to
make a criticism on the evil ol reading
bills at a railroad rate of speed. A
discussion between Keed, Hopkins
of Illinois and Hatch wsi thus
started as an amusing, friendly debate,
but it soon degenerated into an angry,
personal discussion. Hopkins accused
Hatch of "juggling" salaries in tne de
partment of agriculture, when Hatch
angrily retorted that he would not allow
any such imputation on his action, and
he assured Hopkins that if he had
mads any euch remark outside the
bouse be would have had the words
rammed down his throat. It was some
time before tbe aagry storm-cloud rolled
away fr«tn the horizon.
No amendment bad been made in tbe
bill when at s:t>s the committee aroße

New Etiquette.
One of the most interesting incidents
that marked tho funeral ceremonies in
the senate the other day wae occasioned
by the arrival of Sir Julian Pauncefote.
Tho president, members of the supreme
court and all other visitors entitled to the
floor had taken their seats, and the short
wail preceding ihe opening of the serv
ices had begun to grow irksome when
the main door opened, and Sir Julian,
dressed in a close fitting Prince Albert,
entered. He took a few steps forward
and then paused, while the niasrerof cere
monies announced in a distinct voice,
"The embassador of England to the Unit
ed States." The pause was momentary,
The president and every ono present
arose instantaneously in their seats! The
English diplomat bowed with the easy
grace of a man who is not embarrassed
by the honors shown him. and with a
firm step and erect though respectful
bearing passed down the center aisle,
past the president and cabinet, to the
Beat assigned him in the front line of
chairs. —Washington Post.
Magnificent Court Entertainments.
Some court entertainments recently
have been magnificent. The court din
ner given iv Vienna in honor of the Ger
man emperor had peculiar features.
Though the guests numbered 80, the
whole dinner was served on gold plates
and dishes. The centerpieces aud vases
likewise were of massive gold. Really
two dinners were served, because it was
Friday. Beside each plate lay two me
nus, a fish menu on simple white card
board with thu imperial eagle in relief
and a meat menu with the usual gold
ornaments and the eagle in gold. As
Ihe guests sat down every oue was asked
by the lackeys whether a fish or meat
dinner would be agreeable, and then one
ttienu was taken away. So the servants
knew what dishes to servo. Only the
emperor. Archduchess Maria Theresa,
Archduchess Caroline and two cardinals
tasted. Everybody else selected the meat
dinner.—Vienna Letter.
Is This Libelous?
The editor of Natural Science (Eng

SILVER DICK'S BOOM STARTED
Mr. Bland Is a Presidential
Candidate.
Governor Stone (-fives Him a Strong;
Indorsement.
Or.al Enthusiasm In the afissoarl Dem
ocratic Btate CotiTantlon far the
White Metal's Able
Champion.
By tbe Associated Press.
Kansas City, May 15.—Governor
Stone unqualifiedly launched the presi
dent: il boom for "Silver Dick" Bland
in the Miaeouri state convention here
today. The temporary chairman, J. M.
Trimble, after a long-continued row in
the committee on resolutions, sought to
make matters smooth in bis opening
speech to the convention, by declaring
that atate conventiona did not meet to
decide national isauea or to nominate a
preaidential candidate, nor to create a
presidential poasibility.
When Governor Stone, who waa made
permanent chairman, arose to make hia
talk, about the first thing be uttered waa
a denial ol Trimble's propositions.
State conventions, be declared, expreee
the thought of the people, which waa
crystallized at national conventione. He
waa aorry that rumor made him a can
didate for United States senator, a posi
tion he did not seek. When he retired
from tbe governorship, he aaid emphatic
ally, it would be to return to private life.
But regarding the report which con
nected Congressman Bland with the
presidential nomination of 1896, he
wished to say that the people could not
nominate a more conscientious, faithful
and devoted servant. No better man
had ever been elected to public office.
He was worthy of tbe highest confi
dence. And if tbe apeaker ever had an
opportunity he would gladly support
bim, aa he would any other honest
repreaentative western Democrat for
that high office.
The convention had scarcely assem
bled for its afternoon session when there
were loud calls for "Bland" from all
parts of the house. The delegates would
not be quieted until they were told Mr.
Bland was buay in tbe commutes room
and could not be seen tonight.
The principal figtit in the committee
on resolutions was over the adoption of
tbe silver plank. The memi-ers were
willing to pass over the questions of ia
dorsing th- Democratic national admin
istration, but Govern ir Stone aud Con
gressman Bland were flat-tooted for a
silver plank in tbe platlorm, and uo com
promise.
The governor's remarks on tbia sub
ject before the convention indicated that
his aide waa in the mioontv in the com
mittee, ac he 'old the convention it was
for them to say, and not for a majority
or minority of tbe committee, whether
or not tbey were favorable to bunt an
itlt.
"Have you any opinion on thia ques
tion?" said tbe governor, addressing
tbe delegates.
Loud nnd repeated cries of "Yes" was
the response.
"We want to demonstrate," added the
governor, "that Wall -treet cann it cor
rupt, coerce nor debauch the Democ
racy of Missouri."
Mayor Webster Davis, the Republican
executive of tbe city, made tbewelcom
; ing address to the convention. He was
loudly cheered at the close of hia re
marks.
Responding to a call during in lull iv
tbe proceedings, Mr Hall took the floor.
He was in favor of a free and unlimited
coinage of silver but did not believe it
was the duty of the Missouri Democracy
to make an exposition of tbat principle
in its platform. That, he helivtd, was
the work of deleiatea, properly instruct
ed by their conetituanta, to the national
convention.
Congresaman Taraney came next and
confined himself t j ihe tariff, incident
ally eulogizing President Cleveland,
whom he called tbe apostle of tariff re
form, and giving Senator Hill a aide
winding thrust.
"There waa a Valley Forge before
Yorktown," he went ..«, "a Bull R:in
before Appomattox," and then, wtih
meaeured emph.aia, "there was a B -tie
d.ct Arnold before— Gentlemen of tbe
convention, pardon me if legislative
courtesy forbids me to carry the parallel
further."
Here the convention shouted loudly
sua repeatedly, "Hill."
Ac tbe committee on resolutions was
not ready to report tbe convention pro
ceeded to tbe nominations, but before
these were completed the committee on
resolutions arrived, about 12:31), and
were ready to report. Two reports were
submitted.
Following is the financial plank of the
majority report:
Vv hereai, The constitution of the
United States provides tbat congress
shall have power to coin money, regulate
re value thereof and of for
eijtn coins, and also provides
that no state shall coin mouey
rr make anything but gold and silver
coin legal tender in payment of debts,
hence we declare il to be a dutr enjoined
upon congress by the constitution to
coin both gold and silver money for the
use ol the people of tbe states; that
congress baa ao rightful power to refuse
the coinage of either metal.
We therefore demand the free bi
metallic coinage of both silver and gold
and the restoration of the bimetallic
standard as it existed under our law*
for over 80 years prior to the demone
tization of the standard silver dollar in
1873. and should it become necessary, in
order to maintain tha two metals incir
culation, to readjuet the ratio, it should
be determined whether gold has risen or
silver haa fallen, and Whether there
uhonld be a change of the gold dollar or
of tbe silver dollar, or of both, to tbe
end that whatever ratio is adopted, the

ba preaerved alike, having in view the
demands of the people for a circulating
medium.
We declare we are not in favor of gold
monometallism or silver monomeia
liain, but tbat both should he coined ai
euch ratio as will maintain the tw
metals ia circulation.
We insist upon the Democratic doc
trine of Jackson and Ken on, that all
money iasued by the authority of con
Kress ahall he iasued and its value main
tained by tbe government; that we are
opposed to farming out to national
hanks the right to issue circulation
notes; that we are opposed to any fur
ther increase of interest-hearing debt of
the government
Following is the report of the minority
membera—Graham Frost, Davie Francis
and B. 0 Kerr, all of St. Louis—which
is a suoatitute for the free coinage plank :
We hereby reaffirm the declaration oi
Democratic principles placed before the
country by tiie last Democratic conven
tion aeaeuibled In Chicago on June 22,
1892. and ratified by the state Democrat
ie pla'forni adopted at Jell'eraon City ou
Jul.- 20. 1892.
After the reading of the reports, Gra
ham Frost moved the auhetitntion of
the minority plank in the majority re
port, and a delegate 'rom Southwestern
Miaaouri called for the previous queation
on tbe adoption of tbe majority report.
The roll call ia now in progress at 1:115
a.m.
The last resolution of the majority re
port is intended as a stab at the Ameri
can Protective association.
The following candidates have been
named for the following offices:
Judge of sunreme court, Francis M.
Black.
Superintendent of public schools, W.
T. Carrington.
Tbe nomination for railway commis
sioners will be made tomorrow.
At 2:10 a. m. the convention adjourned
until 10 a. ni. without having voted on
tho report of the committee on resolu
tions.
INDIAN BARBARITIES.
Frightful Orßies Aloug the West Coaat ol
British Columbia.
The attention of the department of In
dian affairs has been called to tiie bar
barous pr&Ctioea of the Indians along Ihe
west coast of northern British Columbia,
who, it appears, are still indulging in
cannibalism, supposed to have been long
•go given up. H. J. Simpson, a trader
who has spent 20 years in the vicinity of
Fort Ruperts, has just arrived here and
States that tho Indians carry on their
dances with all their old time ferocity,
the only difference being that now they
are careful to have their wildest orgies
only in the depth of Winter, when the in
clemency of the season has practically
put a stop to trading and hunting and
has driven all white men, including mis
sionaries, to move to comfortable quar
ters.
So soon as they have the field to them
selves preparations are started for thai
most uisgusting orgies. Simpson, who,
having married a full blooded "Klootcb
mau," is what is known as a "squaw
man," has been specially favored or
trusted by being permuted to witness
some of these rites and gives a tern
ble description of what is known to the
Indians as a "man eater dance." which
he witnessed a few months ago. In
this dance the manista, or chief char
acter, horrifies the spectators by appear
ing with a "fiinmmy" or the shriveled
remains of a back number native, taken
from au eminence upon which it was
exposed to dry after death, and tearing
the shriveled flesh from the bones as he
dances about a huge log fire, all the
time uttering the most frightful sounds
in the Indian vocabulary of lamentations.
Simpson also lately saw the horrible
torture of a maiden in connection with
another dance, in which, to prove herself
worthy to be the bride of a brave chief
tain, she allowed great barbed hooks to
be driven through the flesh of her back
and danced almost naked, while the chief
held the reins attached to the hooks and
by a series of wrenches c- entually tore
the flesh apart and released them. Mis
sionaries have taken great credit through
out the civilized world for having con
verted these savages, and the govern
ment has been led to believe that the
dances now carried on are only imita
tions of former barbarity, bnt Simpson,
who is a reliable man, asserts that they
are no mockery at all, but a most revolt
ing and cruel reality.—Victoria (B. C.)

A POSTAL SAVINGS PLAN.
Senator Kyle Him Advanced Hit Idea That
May Poaelbly Become Law.
iho present financial stringency and
trouble with savings banks aud other in
stitutions of deposit h«T«j suggested to
Senator Kyle of Dakota a postal savings
scheme. He is of the opinion that tho
designation of certain postofiices in vari
ous parts of the country ao receivers for
small deposits wonld '>o advantageous,
and a bill is now before the senate com
mittee on poetofiioee providing for tho
details of such n plan.
It is proposed to receive small deposits
at money order offices, for which inter
est at the rate of °j per cent per annum
will be paid. The depositors will receive
stamps in denominations ranging from
10 cents to $1. These are to be kept as
securities by the depositor and are trans
ferable aud redeemable on presentation
at any money order office, proofs of
course being required as to the identity
of the holder. The money thus accumu
lated by the government is to be loaned
to farmers ou first mortgage security on
lands worth $5,000 and over at 4 per cent
interest.
The scheme is not wholly new or
wholly impracticable. Postal savings
banks are a regular feature of the Brit
ish and continental postal arrangements
of Europe, Mr. Wauamakor was a warm
advocate of the idea while he was post
master general. There is little doubt
but that some plan of making small de
posits through the postoffice would bo
ill to persons far removed from sav
i. bankß and other banking institu
tii They would make the hoardings
of mattj people available in tiie interest
beau 'ig funds. The banking project,
how, VOT, of loaning money to furmers
on real estate is a matter upon which a
difference of opinion might readily ex
isi. As a consequence it wonld be quite
neci ssary to discuss this feature of the
Kyle bill exhaustively.
Ii i- to be hoped that a good working
postal savings scheme will be developed
in this country In the near future. While
it may not be needed to tho degree that
it is in some foreign countries, it would
undoubtedly prove n great public con
venience und an inducement to more
general saving among persons of small
income.—Baltimore Herald.
THE OLD TAQUI WOfvAN DEAD.
A Feature of the Midwinter Fair Fusses
Away In Indian Fashion.
A visitor to tiio Midwinter fair in San
Francisco says that the little old Taqni
woman at the Arizona Indian village,
who was said to bo 110 years old, is dead.
Yet they say there "it was the new coun
try that killed ncr, and the clothing.'' It
is not good for a Taqui to wear shoes,
and tho women are 6ick when they feel
the tight dress across their shoulders.
She died just at sun; a, which, the In
dians soy, is a good sigu.
Before she died they washed her face
and put ou her shroud and carried her
out of her wigwam and laid her ou the
b.ire ground, put stone? under her head
and uncovered her neck and arms, be
cause they said it was good she should
fi al the fresh air for the lust time on her
skin. When she had died, they put a
i cloth over her face, raised her arms high
I over her chest and clasped her hands to
gether and placed a burning candle at
her head and one at her feel and began
to trail for her. All night the village
women wailed around the body, aud the
next day it was buried in Calvary ceme
tery.
Open For'F.xperiments.
A recent issue of The Medical Bulletin
printed the following remarkable offer:
Physicians desiring to obtain a subject
on which to observe the process of di
gestion or other workings of the vital or
gan, ur on whom to try the effects of
poisons and their antidotes, may proba
bly do so by communicating with the ed
itor of The Bulletin. Subject is unmar
ried und not prevented by any ties or re
sponsibilities from acting in this matter
as he chooses, and does not object to a
probable fatal termination of the affair.
Good Friday lv Spain.
A curious Good Friday custom still
prevails in Spain. On that day the Span
ish sovereign pardons a certain number
of criminals condemned to death, and
this year the queen regent reprieved
seven unfortunate men. Standing with
one hand on the petitions for mercy,
Donna Christina placed tho other on a
crucifix and paid solemnly, according to
formula, "I pardon these men that God
may pardon me." The news of the re
prieve was then telegraphed to the cul
prit«.—Mi. 1 -.! » ""'or.

The Kidneys |
Purify ths Blood! f

If diseased, however, they cannot, j
and the blood continually becomes j
more impure. Every drop of blood I
in the body goes through the Kid

life endures.
Warner's Sake Curb
puts tbe Kidneys in perfect health
and nature does the rest.
The heavy dragged out feeling
the bilious attacks, headaches, ner

caused by poisoned blood, will dis
appear when the Kidneys properly
perform theii functions.
There iB no doubt about this.
Thouaands have so testified. Tha)
theory is right, the core is right and
health follows ac a natural sequence.
