MR. MORGAN MAKES REMARKS
WHICH CALL FORTH PROTESTS
PROM FRYE
Debate on Plate Glass Occupies Moat
of the Time—Belief for the
Flood Sufferers
Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, May 29.—Progress
on the tariff bill ln the senate was check
ed today, the plate glass paragraphs
proving a source of controversy lasting
throughout the day. As a result little
more than a page of the bill was dis
posed of.
The finance committee succeeded
without difficulty in resisting; proposed
amendments from Democratic members
of the committee, although each amend
ment was debated at great length.
An exciting; Incident occurred during
the afternoon, when Senator Morgan
was called to order by Gallinger, who
was temporarily in the chair, for severe
ly criticizing the Inaction of the house
of representatives. Morgan declared
that the speaker of the house was en
forcing an automatic trap-door rule by
which representatives were assembled
and dispersed, and he characterized this
action as an outrage against popular
rights. Frye of Maine first gave warn
ing that a protest would be made
against criticisms of the other house,
when Morgan vehemently repeated hi;,
criticisms. Hale of Maine made a point
of order against him. The temporary
presiding officer directed Morgan to re
sume his seat and then ruled that he
was out of order. The Alabama sena
tor, somewhat chagrined, was about to
appeal from the decision, when Hale
withdrew his point of order and fur
ther friction was avoided. Morgan re
sumed his criticisms during the tariff
debate and made the point that con
gress was not now ln session in accord
ance with the constitution, the house
having vacated its functions. After a
sharp contest with the tariff leaders.
Quay succeeded in carrying a motion to
adjourn over the Decoration day cele
bration on Monday.
Mills of Texas secured consideration of
a joint resolution authorizing the Sec
retary of War to use ratione for the re
lief of destitute persons in the district
overflowed by the Rio Grande River,
near El Paso, Texas, appropriating $10,
--000 for the purpose. Mills read a telegram
from the Mayor and city officers of El
Paso saying 500 houses were destroyed
and 3000 people destitute, and the con
dition beyond the power of local relief
The joint resolution passed.
The tariff bill was taken up on motion
of Senator Aldrich, who called up the
paragraphs relating to china, crockery,
porcelain, etc., which had been passed
over and drugs were considered.
The debate on plate glass and the ex
istence of a trust became protracted.
Jones read a number of letters com
plaining of the methods of the Pitts
burg company, and he declared emphat
ically that the action of that company
was un-American and outrageous.
Aldrich defended the rates of the bill.
It was not true, he said, that the rates
on plate glass were to be Increased as
asserted by Jones, or that plate gla3s
was an article of necessity to the com
mon people. Plate glass was not an
article of general use by the common
people.
The changes proposed were simply a
rearrangement of the rate's in the Wil
son and the McKinley acts. The sen
ator from Arkansas (Jones) had taken
one of the Items and rung the changes on
that item as though it applied to all of
them. Commenting on Jones' statement
that the Pittsburg Plate Glass company
was the largest of Its kind in the world,
Aldrich declared that this was an evi
dence of American energy and enter
prise, and was no cause for raising or
lowering duties.
Lindsay asked if the existence of a
trust to control the trade was not a good
reason for withholding protection.
"I deny most emphatically," Aldrich
replied, "that there Is any combination
to control prices or to limit production
or to do anything else that Is generally
understood as a restraint of trade."
Vest pointed out what he considered
a peculiar feature of the readjustment,
that the rates were Increased on the
grades ln common use and decreased on
grades used by the favored class.
Cattery of Louisiana spoke against the
oommlttee rates.
Chilton of Texas also spoke against
the committee rates.
The debate on. Jones' first amendment
to the plate glass schedule lasted over
two hours, and then, on a yea and nay
vote, the amendment was defeated by
21 to 29.
The vote was a party one, the Demo
crats for and the Republicans against
the amendment. Heltfeld, Kyle and
Pettigrew voted with the Democrats and
Jones of Nevada with the Republicans.
Quay proposed at this point that the
understanding be reached as to adjourn
ing over Monday, when Decoration day
will be celebrated.
Chandler added his approval to the
fair way in which the Democratic aide
was allowing the bill to proceed.
Aldirlch answered that he felt bound
to urge the tariff bill at every potedble
hour, and he did not approve the loss of
Monday for debate.
Frye of Maine said that the highest
exhibition of patriotism on the part of
the senate would be to remain in ses
sion Monday, and he believed every un
ion soldier would approve this course
Morgan began to speak on the desira
bility of encouraging the patriotic spirit
of tbe people, for, said he, we are not
LOS ANGELES, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 30, 1897
through with our wars, and we would
have need for all the patriotic impulses
of our people.
Morgan then diverged to a severe crit.
Icism of the Inaction of the house of
representatives, which speedily brought
protests and threatened a serious con
test. He enumerated the important
measures passed by the senate and un
acted upon ln the house, owing to the
failure to appoint committees. It had
come to the point, he said, when the
representatives of the people in the other
house were convened and dispersed by
an automatic resolution, which worked
like a door, opening and closing to the
representatives of the people.
Here Frye of Maine said the Alabama
senator was exceeding to a slight de
gre the proprieties of debate ln criti
cising the procedure in the other branch
of congress.
Morgan answered that he should be
congratulated that his offense was
slight as the evil required severe treat
ment.
Morgan went on with his severe ar
raignment of the condition of the house.
It had so vacated Its functions, aban
doned its duty, that there was a grave
question, Morgan said, whether congress
was now In session. It was a shocking
outrage on the government and the
people of the United States, and it
brought congress into deserved and sov
ereign contempt. Here were hundreds
of representatives "chewing the cud of
reflection," and standing around until
one man said they were to act. The
congress of the United States was dis
honoring Itself by submitting to such a
flagrant wrong. This course, he said,
was all In the Interest of the tariff bill,
and one man commanded, "Pass this
bill."
"Stand and deliver! Popular repre
sentation in the house of representa
tives Is dead," Mr. Morgan exclaimed,
"and when popular representation Is
dead, the rights of the people are dead."
At this point an exciting Incident oc
curred. Hale Interposed a point of order
against Morgan's language, saying that
the Alabama senator was violating a
fundamental rule as to refraining from
criticism of a co-ordinate legislative
body.
The chair was temporarily occupied
by Gallinger of New Hampshire, who
promptly requested Morgan to take his
seat pending Investigation of the ques
tion of order.
Morgan resumed his seat.
Gallinger, from the chair, ruled that
the point of order was well taken and
said the senator from Alabama should
proceed ln order.
Morgan had risen to his feet, showing
suppressed agitation, and, with.a slight
quiver In his voice, appealed from the
decision of the chair.
Hale promptly relieved the strain by
withdrawing the point of order he had
made against Morgan, and as a result
there was no decision from which Mr.
Morgan could appeal.
Quay quickly followed this up by ob
jecting to further debate on his motion
that the senate adjourn over Decoration
day. The vote was taken and the mo
tion prevailed, 24 to 17, party lines not
being maintained.
Morgan had continued on his feet, and
now that the Decoration day motion
was out of the way, he secured recogni
tion on the tariff bill, although he con
tinued to pay his attention to the house
of representatives. He still showed ev
idence of the feeling resulting from the
ruling of the chair. This closed the In
cident and the senate .came back to the
tariff bill.
Jones of Arkansas moved a reduction
of the rate on unsilvered plate glass
(24x30) from 10 to 8 cents per square foot.
In a yea and nay vote the amendment
was defeated—lß to 28. Jones again
moved a reduction from 11 to 6 cents
per square foot on cast polished glass,
silvered (16x24), but on a yea and nay
vote the amendment was defeated—l 9
to 26. The committee amendments on
cast polished plate glass, silvered and
unsilvered, and looking glass plates
were then agreed to.
Later ln the day Senator Jones con
ferred informally with his colleagues on
the committee and an agreement was
reached to report the Tillman resolution
back to the senate.
Senator Tillman cays that when it is
reported he will insist upon prompt con
sideration and that if it Is not soon re
ported he will move the discharge of
the committee.
When paragraph 105 was reached a;
6:15 p. m., Aldrich yielded to a motion
THE HUNTINGTONIAN CIRCUS
for an executive session, after which the
senate adjourned until Tuesday.
M'ORD'S APPOINTMENT
WASHINGTON, May 29.—The Senate
Committee on Territories postponed the
inquiry into the charges against M. C
McCord, nominated for Governor of
Arizona, until next Thursday to allow
Attorney-General Wilson of Arizona,
who is prosecuting, to put the charges
in shape for presentation.
IN COMMITTEE
People Appear to Talk on Civil
Service
WASHINGTON, May 29—Representa
tive Richardson of Tennessee was the
first person to appear before the senate
committee on civil service today. He
had been attracted by the statement
made at the last session of the com
mittee by Mr. Harold Benedict that
during the latter part of Mr. Palmer's
former administration of the govern
ment printing office seventy-five per
sons had been appointed to positions
there at his instance, while he (Richard
son was chairman of the house commit
tee on printing. Mr. Richardson pro
nounced Mr. Benedict's statement to be
untrue. He said that during his entire
service of ten years as a member of the
printing committee he secured the ap
pointment of but eighteen persons, all
from his district.
Captain R. H. Pratt, superintendent
of the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa.,
took strong grounds against the civil
service system of selecting employes in
the Indian service. Captain Pratt wat
asiked If he had, on the occasion of a visit
of Mr. Theodore Roosevelt to the Car
lisle Institution stated to that gentle
man that one of his chief objections to
the application of the civil service sys
tem to the Indian service was that It
might foist Roman Catholic teachers
upon the schools.
In reply, Mr. Pratt stated that he had
expressed the opinion to Mr. Roosevelt
that the system would lead to putting
some one faction in control, who could
select just such persons as they cared to
select. He might have used the word
Catholic in this connection.
Mr. Jones, first assistant postmaster
under the late administration, entered a
denial to some of the statements made
at the last sitting by W. W. Hill, late
employe in that branch of the service.
Chairman Pritchard presented a tabu
lated statement from Public Printer
Palmer, giving the political standing of
the force ln the different divisions of the
printing office on the first of April last.
The statement showed that of the en
tire force of 2978 persons 512 were Re
publicans and 2466 Democrats.
MRS. GEHRIG'S DEATH
Coroner's Jury Finds No Evidence of
Murder
NEVADA CITY, May 29.—The Inquest
in the case of Mrs. Gehrig was com
menced today and many witnesses were
examined, including the husband and
son of the dead woman. They testified
that she appeared insane at times and
that on the night of her disappearance
she was not in her right mind. When
she did not come home they thought she
had gone to visit her sister. Several of
the Jury were evidently suspicious of the
husband and son and questioned them
closely, but nothing was bronght out by
which they could be connected with the
crime. Dr. Muller testified that she was
living when strung up, and was of the
opinion that the wound on her head was
self-inflicted. Robert Hill testified that
he saw a man and woman going toward
the alley leading to the woodshed about
11 oclock on the night of the tragedy,
but did not know who they were. Sheriff
Getchell says he has discovered no evi
dence connecting the husband and son
with the crime.
HUNGER IN INDIA
Will Not Be Believed by American

WASHINGTON. May 29.—Senator
Chandler has received a letter from
George A. Kittredge, concerning the
proposed relief expedition for Infia.
Mr. Kittredge spent many years ln
India, and says from his knowledge of
the conditions the proposed expedition
of corn and wheat will be Impracticable,
and says there is no organisation ln In

"It will be almosit impossible," he says,
"to divide a large quantity of grain
among the needy. The grain will go to
India In bulk, but there are no elevators
there or other meajis of receiving it In
that form. It must be put into bags',
the bags must be bought and the grain
filled in bags aboard the steamer. Apart
from the expense of the bags I do not see

SAN QUENTIN, May 29.—Nine rifle
shots fired this afternoon into the corri
dor of the "dungeons" formed the pre
lude to a short but desperate hand-to
hand fight between seventy of the moat
dangerous convicts In San Quentin
prison and fifteen of Warden Hale's
guards. One of the guards had his head
cut open with a brick and a number of
convicts were pretty roughly handled,
but nobody was killed, or even seriously
hurt
The convicts had dug their way out of
their cells, had barricaded the entrance
to their place of confinement with four
teen heavy Iron cell doors, reinforced
with a sack of balls and chains, and had
torn down the brick partition between
the cells and provided themselves with
weapons in the shape of bricks and
chains.
The "dungeons" where today's trouble
occurred are situated under the old hos
pital and consist of fourteen big cells,
Severn on each side of a corridor. The
partitions between the cells are of brick,
as are the pillars In front, to which are
attached the heavy iron gateway, in
side of which Is a heavy wooden door.
Howling like hyenas, they stormed the
door with broken chains, hammered it
with bricks torn from the sides of their
cells and threw themselves against it
with all the fury of wild beasts. The
door creaked and bent before these hu
. man battering rams, and it seemed that
' it would fall.
The Iron door bent before them. The
' captain of the guard decided that the
; moment for action had come.
"Make ready," he called to the sharp
shooters.
But the men behind the door were
now almost hysterical with fury. They
seemed more like enraged animals
enarling at the bars of their cage than
human beings.
"Fire!" yelled the captain of the
guard.
The fusllade belched forth from the
wall, and between the crack of the rifles
the sound of the bullets could be heard
as they struck the door of the corridor
within.
Fourteen shots were fired, and the con
victs retreated rapidly before them.
They were not yet conquered, however,
for until the iron door leading to the
dungeons was opened for the purpose
of ascertaining whether any of the con
victs had been killed, the felons rushed
at the guards, and had to be beaten
back with pick handles before they
would submit. Even then, with the
rifles aimed at them from the walls and'
the gatling guns trained on them from
the hillside Just beyond, the desperate
men, like savage but cowed bulldogs,
cursed their keepers and vowed ven
geance as they were driven to their
cells.
The great revolt, however, Is far from
being broken. The 720 men who re
fused to work in the Jute mill seem to
grow more aggresive under punishment.
Warden Hale's policy is to starve the
convicts into absolute submission and
then starve them for punishment. He
has ordered the officers not to. flog the
convicts or to place the hose on them.
All of tonight the 700 mutinous con
victs kept up the yells and shrieks that
have made life at the prison hideous
since the rebellion. The outside con
victs have been detected ln a number
of cases in the act of passing bread and
opium to their doubly incarcerated fel
lows. They are ln sympathy with them
and will help them to stand the siege.
Those in durance show no siigns of weak
ening, and the prospect grows more se
rious every hour. General H. R. War
field called on Warden Hale today and
informed him that the militia was In
readiness to respond, to a call at any
time. Hale said that for the present his
guards could handle the malcontents.
Before any further steps are taken ln
the way of inducing the convicts to re
turn to work, twenty of the worst men
are to be transferred to Folsom. This
it is expected will have a salutary ef
fect, as the prison-scarred veteran has
a wholesome dread of that home of hard
work and rigid discipline. No extra
guards have as yet been put on, but
those now on duty have been working
double shifts, and if the trouble con
tinues reinforcements will be necessary.
