DEBATE ON WOOL SCHEDULES
DEVELOPS A VERY SERIOUS
DISAGREEMENT
Republican Caucus Managers Are Ac
cused of Violating Their Prom
ises to Growers of Wool
Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, June22.—An exciting
debate marked the consideration of the
wool schedule, which began in the sen
ate today. It developed the firs* serious
disagreement on the Republican side of
the chamber, and led to a warm' per
sonal exchange between Senators Car
ter of Montana and Foraker of Ohio on
one hand, and Allison of lowa. In charge
of the bill, on the other. Foraker as
serted that an agreement concerning
rates on certain wools was being vio
lated, and under* the circumstances
every senator would be at liberty to act
for himself. Allison, with great vehe
mence, declared that he could not be
driven by threats. Carter, who had
roused the storm, endeavored to have
the paragraphs relating to carpet wools
go over, with a view to securing some
united action, but Vest, In an ironical
speech, objected to delaying the era of
prosperity and postponing the public
business while Republican senators
held a caucus. Teller of Colorado also
spoke against delay, and took occasion
to say he would never vote for the bill
unless objectionable features were elim
inated. Aside from this stormy inter
ruption fair progress was made on the
wool schedule. The duty on first-class
wool was agreed to at 10 cents per
pound, and on second-class wool at 11
cents, which is between the house and
senate rates In each case. The rates'on
third-class wools went over. Most of
the other amendments related to the
classification of wools. On one of the
amendments Jones of Arkansas spoke
against the entire schedule as severely
oppressive on the consumers of woolen
goods.
The wool schedule was taken up as
soon as the senate opened. Mantle sub
mitted an amendment covering three
classes of wool, prepaVed by the Wool
Growers' association, and spoke briefly
thereon. He said his amendments were
the result of careful investigation by
men most familiar with the subject, and
asserted that as the manufacturing in
terests were securing the rates 'they de
sired from the pending bill he believed
the great wool industry of the west
should be allowed to say what the rates
on wool should be.
The paragraphsron wool were then
agreed to as reported up to paragraph
355, which was stricken out at Allison's
request. It referred to skirted wools
Imported In 1890 arid prior thereto.
This brought the senate to the rates on
the three classes of wool. On the first
class the house rate was 11 cents per
pound, the senate committee rate 8
cents per pound. Allison moved to sub
stitute 10 cents per pound. On second
class wool the house rate was 12 cents
and the committee rate 9 cents. Allison
moved to substitute 11 cents per pound.
Mills of Texas demanded a separate
vote on each proposition and the first
vote was taken on Allison's motion to
make the rate 10 cents per pound on first
class wool. It was adopted—yeas 55,
nays 13.
Butler, Carter, Clark, Foraker, Helt
feld, Mcßride, Mantle, Pettlgrew,
Shoup, Stewart, Teller, Turner and
Warren voted in the negative.
The announcement of the vote was the
signal for an unexpected outburst on
the Republican side or the chamber.
Carter rose and speaking deliberately
and impressively said the vote Just giv
en disclosed a purpose to make reduc
tions in the rates on wool. There would
be a day of reckoping for such action.
In view of what had been done he asked
that the consideration of the wool sched
ule be now suspended.
This declaration, coming from a Re
publican senator, caused a mild sensa
tion, which was but the prelude to an
other scene.
Foraker, with great positivenessin his
tones, said he had supposed there was an
agreement in the manner of dealing with
this wool schedule. Unless this agree
ment was respected, then, Foraker de
clared, vehemently, every senator must
act for himself.
He added that there wasan agreement
in writing, and not until he had entered
the chamber today dfS he know of the
changes which were contemplated.
"And 1 do not propose," concluded
Foraker, with energy, "to be bound by
any such action."
Allison, still preserving his outward
calm, said that there was no written
agreement that he knew of, and be
wished to resent, In mild terms, he said,
the suggestion of a combination that
had been made by the senator from
Montana. The amendments now offered
he said, were an increase of the original
rates on first and second class wools,
although a reduction from the house
rates.
Senator Allison Intimated a willing
ness to postpone the disputed rates, but
with a rising temper said, "Senators will
not be driven, and the senate is not a
good place to drive."
"And that is why I don't drive," re
torted Foraker.
"Nor will I," came In- Allison, flushing
and showing great feeling. If there had
not been an insinuation of combination,
he said, he would have moved a post
ponement of all paragraphs open to
question, but with the senate thrown
Into a condition of excitement, he did
not propose to submit to threats.
"Therefore," said Allison passionate
ly, "I am not" to be driven by threats
LOS ANGELES, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 23, 1897
from anybody. lam told we are In com
bination, and the combination will not
vote for the bill. lam for the bill, and
expect to vote for it, and I do not wish
to be charged, as a member of the
finance committee, directly or indirect
ly,, with dealing with this question in a
covert way." \
Foraker had remained on his feet, and
with biting scorn replied to Allison:
"If anybody is excited," he said, "we
have to look about the chamber and see
who the excited persons are." He pro
ceeded to show that an entire new fea
ture had been proposed on the wool
schedules, which senators had not had
an opportunity to examine.
Quay came tn to inquire as to what
the agreement was to which Foraker
referred. The Ohio senator said the
agreement was Informal, but Quay was
Informed as to It, having been invited
to attend 1 a meeting at which the sena
tors considered what could be done
toward agreement on certain features
of the wool, schedule. Subsequently the
result of this meeting had been laid
before the finance committee.
"In fact, yop. were present and a party
to the agreement," said Gorman blandly
to Quay. The Pennsylvania senator sat
down and shook his head.
Foraker referred in general terms to
the agreement until asked by Burrows
to specify the agreement. Then Foraker
said: "We understand that if third-class
wools were given, a specilic duty, then
the scoured third-class wools should
have the triple duty, just as first and sec
ond class wools have triple duty. We
did not suppose there was any dissent
from that. Everybody acquiesced In it
when consulted in regard to it, and our
agreement was made with that distinct
understanding. Now, for the first time
we are notified that there is objection
to it."
Piatt of Connecticut here arose and
declared that the finance committee had
never heard of this proposition.
"I suggest .that the senator did hear
of It,' 'insisted Foraker, "and he may
have forgotten it. 1 carried it to the
committee room, and the senator him
self (Piatt) wrote It down with a blue
pencil in his. copy of the tariff bill. The
senator from lowa (Allison) also wrote
it down in his copy."
He added that some twenty senators,
were present at the time, and every
item of the agreement was gone over
and written down in the bills of Mr. Al
lison and Mr. Piatt.
Thus reminded, Piatt eald he would
modify his statement. There was a
meeting at which certain suggestions
were presented as to what was wanted,
but these were not assented to.
Foraker asserted that Allison had said
that in case specific rates were placed on
third-class wools, the duties on scoured
wools would be tripled.
Penrose took part In the debate to
briefly assert that the agreement which
the senator from Ohio said existed
could not have been, as he and Foraker
had been up until after midnight last
night trying to adjust differences.
Foraker replied that the difference
last night was not on third-class wools,
but another matter.
Hale's effort to calm the disturbance
by suggesting a postponement in order
to secure united action seemed about to
quiet the storm, when Vest smilingly
arose and said: "I object."
Attention was now directed to the Mis
souri senator, who spoke in Ironical
terms.
"I have had a novel experience today,"
he began. "For the first time in my life
I have been accorded the privilege of
listening to the deliberations of a Re
publican caucus.' '
''Let me say," interposed Allison,
"that the question of wool was never
discussed in the Republican caucus."
Vest gave a derisive shrug of his
shoulders and proceeded. The senate
had just heard, he said, from an emi
nent Republican senator (Foraker) that
twenty senators were present during
the consideration of a certain agree
ment, formal and written, so that the
statute of frauds would not apply
against it. Senators had heard also,
Vest went on, that their Republican
members were together until the wee
sma' hours of last night in a fruitless
effort to harmonize.
"And now," he proceeded, "we hear
the great pacificator from Maine (Hale)
appealing for peace, but I have so often
heard his assurance that peace pre
vailed in Cuba that I am inclined to
doubt him now."
Just as prosperity was in slght.Vest
went on, ironically, just as the sunshine
was illuminating the land, the senate
was asked to stop in the consideration
of the tariff bill while the Republican
senators held a caucus.
"I demand that the public business
proceed,' 'exclaimed Vest. "If Republi
can senators cannot agree, let them
retire and confer. But do not halt the
business of the senate and the country
while the Republican senators reach an
agreement as to who shall have the
greatest part of the swag."
Teller of Colorado followed up Vest
in opposition to a postponement of the
bill. He had supposed, there was an
agreement among Republican senators
toward united action, although, he add
ed, not being a member of the Republi
can Caucus, he was not conversant with
its secrets.
Allison offered an amendment requir
ing scoured wool of the third class to pay
three times the duty of unscoured wool
of that class.
Allison stated that the amendment
was made to meet the objections raised
by senators on the floor today. A de
bate ensued, which was largely technical
in character, relating to the effect of
scouring as compared to washing, th>
shrinkage entailed, etc., in which Gray,
Warren, Mantle and Stewart and Jones
of Arkansas participated. Jones said
he had estimated that free raw wooi
and a 40 per cent average rate on, manu
factured woolens would save to the peo
ple of the country $150,000,000 every year,
and yet this scheme placed- the wool
rates higher than ever, making th->
most iniquitous burden ever conceived.
Warren of Wyoming spoke briefly on
some of the "glaring misstatements"
against the bill.
Before the vote was. taken Allison
yielded to appeals and specified, all the
changes contemplated by the committer
throughout the schedule. These, in ad
dition to the proposed changes on first
and second class wools, are as follows:
A substitute modifying paragraph
359; a modification of paragraph 360,
making the rates 30 cents on'top waste,
25 cents on shoddy and 20 cents on other
waste; paragraph 364 changed by omit
ting "skirting" in two places; paragraph

Associated Press Special Wire.
TOLEDO, 0,, June 22.—The Repub
lican State convention began here today.
It will nominate a full State ticket and
endorse a candidate for United States
Senator. There is no opposition to Sen
ator Hanna for both the short and long
terms and none to the re-nomination of
Governor Bushnell and other State offi
cers. The contest has been from the
start for the control of the State Centra":
Committee, which elects a campaign
chairman. Each Congressional district
was closely canvassed in advance for
the committeemen and both factions
claimed a majority of twenty-one mem
bers up to today.
Senator Foraker, Governor Bushnell
and others have been untiring in their
efforts to retain Chairman Charles L.
Kurtz, while Senator Hanna and the old
following of President McKinley and
Secretary Sherman supported Major
Charles Dicks for the place. Major
Dicks is now secretary of the National
Committee. He was chairman of the
State Executive Committeee in both
McKlnley's campaigns for Governor and
in the Presidential campaign of 1892.
Dicks was superseded by Kurtz as
chairman in Govenor Bushnell's first
campaign two years ago and he has held
the place ever since. In addition to the
factional elements represented there
has been strong rivalry for years be
tween Dicks and Kurtz. The fight in
volved all the party leaders on one side
or the other and is the most bitter con
test that has been waged within either
party for years.
The district meetings in the afternoon
resulted in Dicks carrying two-thirds
of the state committeemen, and in about
the same majority for Senator Hanna
out of the districts for mem
bers for the committees on resolutions,
credentials and permanent organiza
tion, so that the convention is largely in
control of Senator Hanna.
The convention assembled at 4 p. m.,
when Hon. H. P. Crouse, chairman of
the state central committee, reviewed
the past campaign, counselled harmony
and introduced Gen. C. H. Grosvenor as
the temporary chairman. Mr. Gros
venor said, in part: "I am not here to
sound a keynote. That duty has been
assigned by the comments of the Demo
cratic press, but Republicans do not
need keynotes. The St. Louis plat
form Is the charter of the Republican
party. It stands unrepealed and no
keynote Is necessary to enforce its bind
ing obligation upon Republicans, and
we are united today in defense of that
platform.
"Our Democratic friends are shout
ing upon every stump and in every
newspaper and all over the country de
manding to know 'Where is the pros
perity that you promised?' We never
promised prosperity. This Is the lan
guage of our platform upon that sub
ject: 'We emphasize our allegiance to
the policy of protection as the bulwark
of American independence and the
foundation of the nation's prosperity.'
"Our Democratic friends are to hold
a convention in Ohio shortly, and they
will proclaim their allegiance to the
doctrine of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, taking their stand firmly
upon the foundation of a fifty-cent dol
lar and the appreciation and degrada
tion of the coinage of the country. The
people of this country are opposed to
anarchy. They are opposed' to the
reign of murder. They believe in law
and order. Let the Democratic party
in its calamity even dare to indorse the
Chicago heresy of anarchy and resis
tance to law, and the people of Ohio will
win a victory that will forever place
Ohio in the front rank of law-abiding
States.
"The issues, then,upon which this con
test is to be fought, are the issues of
the platform adopted at St. Louis. We
shall follow our leader to a magnificent
victory. By it we will stand or fall. By
it we will win victory or honorable de
feat. Under Its terms we will challenge
the world and under it we will march to
victory in November."
Following the speech of Mr. Grosvenor
announcement was made of the ac
tion of several congressional meetings,
each district naming a state committee
man andamemberof the committee on
resolutions.

ran some thirty feet away and fired,
striking him in the back, killing him al
most instantly. The plea was self-de
fense, Scott claiming that Richards was
stooping to get a rock to renew his at
tack. Ahem & Laird of Los Angeles
conducted the defense and District At
torney Fay and As-sistant District At
torney Emmons the prosecution.
During the progress of the trial a
death in the family of Judge Mahon

was concluded under Judge Conley of
Madera county.
Intense Interest was manifested in
the closing arguments and the case did
not go to the Jury until a late hour last
night.
Today it was announced that no
agreement could be reached and the
Jury was discharged.
SELFISH STOCKMEN
Cutting the Fences and Burning the
Houses of Settlers
REDDING, June 22. —A bad state of
affairs exists at Upper Stillwater, twelve
miles east of Redding. The neighbor
hood is made up of stockmen and set
tlers .between whom there is incessant
trouble. The stockmen want all the
grazing land for their stock, and 1 try
by every means in their power to make
it so uncomfortable for settlers that they
are forced to move away.
Last week two houses were burned
while the occupant of one of them was
away. The owner of the other house
lost a dwelling some time ago by Are.
Fences are broke down at night and the
stock turned in to ravage the gardens
and orchards. A short time ago a set
tler had his barb wire fine, enclosing
forty acres, cut into short lengths during
the night.

DELIGHTED
With Grand Pageantry of
Jubilee Day
GREAT CROWDS GATHER
BUT NO ACCIDENTS MAE THE
FESTIVITIES
McKinley's Cordial Letter Leads to
a Cordial Reception of United
States Representatives
— —— Mi,
Associated Press Special Wire.
LONDON, June 22.—A1l the perplexing
arrangements in connection with to
day's festivities worked to perfection.
The weather was also perfect. It was
cloudy in the morning, but there was
sunshine from the time the queen,
emerged from the palace. The sky was
cloudless and the weather was Just warm
enough to be pleasant. There were no;
empty seats along the route followed
by the procession, but the speculators)
sold the ten guinea seats for one guinea,
and in many cases speculators gave
their seats away. Evidently the crowd:
was not so large as expected. Many
people were frightened away by the
stories told of possible accidents, the
danger of Are and the startling stories
of the prices which would be charged
to enable people to reach seats. But as
a matter of fact there was no difficulty!
in reaching the spots selected from
wnich to view the procession, although
the majortly of the seat holders had to
leave their homes before 7 oelock this
morning.
Whitelaw Reid, United States spe
cial envoy, when questioned on the sub-
Jetc of the jubilee said: "Etiquettee for
bids my discussing the jubilee ceremo
nies, but you may say it was extraordi
narily successful In every way."
At the lord chamberlain's office this
afternoon a representative of the Asso
ciated Press was informed that on her
return to the palace after the procession
the queen and all the royal family ex
pressed the greatest delight and sat
isfaction! at the fact that everything
has passed off so successfully.
There were many expressions of sat
isfaction that the carriage of the United
States special envoy, Mr. Reid, had been
so warmly received. It was considered'
largely due to President McKinley's
warm letter in congratulating her maj
esty upon the sixtieth anniversary of her
accession to the throne. Every intention
to honor the United States' special envoy
has been displayed. For this reason
Mr. Reid took the Princess Victoria of
Wales in to dinner last evening, sitting
at the table opposite the duke of Saxe-
Coburg. I
In addition Queen Victoria received
Mrs. Reid most cordially, and at the re
ception in the ball room she gave the*
wife of the United States special envoy
her hand to kiss. The Canadian premier,
Mr. Wilfred L-aurier, met with an es
pecially warm welcome at the colonial
stand opposite the horse guards. He
afterwards said to the representative
of the Associated Press: "I was greatly
impressed by the splendor of the day's
ceremonies and by the enthusiastic ova
tions from the crowds."
The queen breakfasted at 9 oelock,
and informed her physician that she.
was not fatigued by yesterday's cere
monies. Already at the hour in ths
great quadrangle of the palace there)
were many signs of the coming ceremo
nial. Georgeously attired servants gath
ered near the scarlet carpeted staircase,
which was lined with rare flowers.whlle
the strains of the national anthem, as
a band passed the palace, announced
that the colonial procession had started.
At the same time the special envoys
who took part in- the procession begani
arriving in the great quadrangle.
United States Special Envoy Hon.
Whitelaw Reid was the fir9t to appear.
He drove in. accompanied by one of the
royal equerries, the latter being all gold
with scarlet feathers. Mr. Reid was qui
etly attired, wearing an Inverness coat,
a white tie and an opera hat. He drove
up to the door of the palace, where het
was saluted in passing by a dozen men
in gold, and escorted to the waiting
room by the master of the ceremonies,
the Hon. Sir William Scoville. A mo
ment or so later Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
representing the United States army,
rode up on a splendid horse andi in full
uniform. He lingered for a moment there)
without anyone attending to him, and
then rode out.
The Grand Duke Sergius of Russia, a
man of the heavy Romanoff type, was)
not uniformed and was completely
eclipsed in appearance by the gorgeous)
Austrians and Hungarians in scarlet
and gold, with white hussar jackets,
lined with pale blue and fastened to
their left shoulders, their striking attire)
being completed by high fur caps ancl
stiff plumes.
The brother of the khedlve of Egypt,
Mohammed All Kahn, was mounted on
a white Arabian chargtr, and was great"
ly admired.
The duke of Cambridge arrived early,
carrying his field marshal's baton and
wearing the ribbon of the Garter across)
his portly person. After him came ths
lord, chamberlain, the Earll of Latham,
and a score of white wand chamberlains.
They mingled with tho crowd and theo
passed up the staircase.
Eleven royal landaus then arrived,
and were mustered in the center of the
quadrangle. Each carriage was a show
In itself, forming, with Its brilliant as
sembly of escorting horsemen and foot
men a most gorgeous display. A pre
liminary gleam of the sun pierced
through the clouds at this hour, touching
everything with bright light, making
the scene as grand a feast of color aa
was ever witnessed.
By 10:20 a. m. the carriages were load
ed and took up their position in the cea
