THE SENATE MUST YIELD. Senator Vest Defends the Ac tion of the Senate. DEMOCRATS DO THE TALKING. Washington. July 23.— Today was Dne of dramatic interest in the senate, for the fate of'the tariff bill of ISO! de pended upon the course pursued in the upper branch of congress. The friends ( the tariff bill wore anxious faces, and more than once during the day felt that the very danger point had been reached. The enemies of the bill at times be lieved they would be able to defeat it. When the adjournment came the situa tion was still perplexing. The senate proceedings were of a peculiar nature, iv that the debate was carried on en tirely by the Democrats, save a brief •speech by Senator Sherman and a ques tion by Senator Aldrich. The princi pal speeches of the day were those of Senators Hill and Vest, though others contributed to the inter est of the occasion. Senator Hill's prsition indorsing the president In em phatic terms was one of the most con- spicuous incidents of the day. Senator Test took occasion to talk in plain terms in defense of the rights ot the senate and house to manage their confer ence without executive interference. His criticism of the president's course and the action of Mr. Wilson was more severe than was 'expected. He spoke for the finance committee and the po sition of the senate conferees. The action of Senator Vilas iv preceding ins speech with a motion to strike out the eighth-cent differential ou sugar was AN ADDITIONAL SENSATION of a sensational day, from the fact that it was probable that the motion would carry, lt caused consternation until it ■was found that the motion may be de clared out of order. The statements of Senator Smith and Senator Blanchard were important as indicating that a change in the sugar schedule might mean the loss of their votes, while Senator Blanchard stated decidedly that he would uot vote for the bill if tills change were made. Senator Gray's vigorous speech was enlivened by a brisk colloquy with Senator Hill. The exciting day's proceedings closed with an affirmative motion to adjourn over until Monday. The preliminary routine business was transacted in a perfunctory way. Sen ator Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, arose and called up the con ference leporton the tariff bill. With out a word of explanation he yielded the floor to Senator Smith, of New Jer sey, who arose and read a carefully pre pared speech. lie had hoped, he said, when the bill passed the senate two weeks ago, that it had beeu perfected. But the events of the last twenty-four hours had confronted the Democratic party with the possibility of the failure of all tariff legislation at this session, if so, the responsibility must be placed where it belonged. He criticised the president for "violating" the principles of his party in attempting to interfere with the prerogatives of ihe legislative branch of the government, but declared that he SHOUL D NEVER BE INTIMIDATED by threat sfrom the president, or by the utterances of his party associates at the other end of the capitol, who had beeu so uproariously applauded. He called attention to the differences between the situation in the house and the senate. He reviewed the events in the house, which culminated in the passage of a bill with the loss of seven teen Democratic votes in that body. In the senate all was changed. Every Democratic vote was needed to pass a bill if it was to be passed as a party measure, and the members of the finance committee went heroically to work to harmonize the differences ex isting on the Democratic side. They had accomplished that purpose to their everlasting credit, be it said. He had been one of those who had stood out for concessions in the interests of his con stituents. He made no concealment of his position then; he made none now. . He then proceeded to deliver a glowing eulogy of tne tariff bill as it passed the senate, which, unlike the house bill, he declared, contained no menace to the industries of the country, and had not been framed by men from sparsely set tled districts, who knew nothing of the great commercial interests of the United States. lie asserted that the framers of the house bill, and a large proportion of the Democratic party, were uot tariff reformers, but were free traders. W§_% The president, in his letter accepting the nomination, had favored not free, but freer raw materials. He proceeded to point cut the reductions that the senate bill made on coal, iron and lead ore, and detailed at length the reduction on other schedules. Then the speaker TOUCHED ON SUGAR. A majority of eighty-three In the house had enabled that body, he said, to ride rough shod over the wishes of the representatives of the sugar-pro ducing stales, and, in the face of the president's protest, the chairman of the ways and means committee proposed to place sugar, raw aud refined, on the free list In a separate bill, He then- devoted soma time tc an exposition of the situation with ref erence to sugar, raw and refined, con tending that tho proposed reduction it the senate bill was one of the bigges '^ r^- > v-^-i^<Ja* , s~ made in any schedule. From statistics obtained at the treasury department, he maintained that the enactment of the senate bill would reduce the tariff taxation $174,000,000. He had voted for the bill with the income tax incorpor ated with great reluctance and with the distinct understanding that he was not willing to vote for a bill by which a single industry should bo stricken down or the resumption of a single In dustry prevented. He hail asked for tar greater concessions from his con stituents than ne had from the .finance committee. "So far as 1 am concerned— and I think I speak also for several of my colleagues— there has not been and will not be the slightest change In my posi tion," said Mr. Smith. "1 accepted the income tax in its modified form from a sense of duty to my party, but I did so with the greatest reluctance and with the distinct declaration regarding other portions of the measure, that 1 would not vote for any bill 01 any amendment that would make it impossible for a simile industry to continue to resume operations. I believe, sir, that the com mittee on finance will bear me out in the assertion that I have done every thing in my power to aid them in their work, lt is true tiiat I have urged the necessity of CAKE AXD MODERATION. n revising the schedules which directly concern the Industries of my state, but 1 believe the y will concede a disposition on my part to be fair and reasonable, and 1 know 1 have demanded far greater concessions from my constituents than I have sought from the finance commit tee. It has beeu charged that we are not sincere in our advocacy of the senate bill; that we have made it for trading purposes, and that those of us who op pose the Wilson bill would rush into line at the first crack of the whip. I did not suppose any person familiar with the character of this body would be misled by a notion so puerile. But it is evident, from the attitude of our colkagues in the house, that either they do not believe we meant what we said, or they are willing to invite defeat of tariff legislation. If the former, I have only to say ttiat they have mistaken their men. If the latter, the\ must answer to the people tor the defeat of a bill which should, and I be lieve would, satisfy ali reasonable ex pectations. I have tried, Mr.President, to define the position of my colleagues and myseit with the candor and moder ation befitting a member of this body. 1 have tried to be frank, aud have scrupulously avoided covert threats by inference or innuendo. 1 have not sup posed cases of whose existence I knew nothing. 1 have uot said that, if this be true, such and such must be done. But, in the circumstances and view of what has beee said, I should certainly fail in my duty if I failed to speak with TUE UTMOST PLAINNESS. '■And so, sir, I say iv conclusion, in all friendliness toward those who have as persed our motives, that, so far as 1 am concerned, they need expect no further concessions. 1 have labored earnestly and honestly to bring about a satisfac tory settlement of this question. But I have readied the limit. 1 have done. It would be unbecoming me, Mr. Presi dent, to suggest to our conferees what they should do. They are older aud wiser, and know what is best. But it is certainly fitting that they should under stand the wishes of their colleagues. Aud so I say, for myself, I know, aud tor many otners I believe that if 1 were a member of that committee, 1 should say to the conferees from the house in answer to the defiance which has been flung in our faces 'Gentlemen, there is our bill, lt is the result of great labor and infinite pains. It has met witli the approval both of the free trade aud protection elements of our party, it is adapted to conditions, not theories. It is not perfect, but it is as nearly perfect as we can hope to make it at this session, in any event, such as it is, there it lies. You are at liberty to take it or leave it.' That, sir, would be my position.' I would not recede from it so much as a hair's breadth." When Mr. Smith concluded, Mr. Hill jumped to his feet, and being recog nized, launched his speech as follows: A theory, as well as a condition, now confronts us. The theory of the Demo cratic party is that in the enactment of tariff legislation free raw materials should always be an essential and con spicuous element. It is our creed that the materials which enter into our manufactures should be freed from the burden of TARIFF TAXATION. »'The best interests of the manufac turers, as well as the consumers of the laud demand the recognition of this wise discrimination. We are committed to this side of the question, and we cannot retreat and we cannot retract. We are honorably bound to redeem our professions and our promises. Justice, good faith and a decent regard for public sentiment all require this course. Until recently 1 had supposed that there was no dispute upou this question of prin ciple, but that every Democrat worthy of the uame was willing to concede that if there was one thing more than an other to which the Democratic party was committed, it was in favor of the doctrine of absolutely free raw ma terials. The true and honest construc tion of every Democratic national plat form tor twelve years past irrevocably commits us to this just and .reasonable principle." Mr. Hill read the Democratic national platform of 1892, and continued. "To repeal the McKinley law form, simply re-enact it in effect.is keeping ing this promise to the letter, break it in spirit. The platform pointed with pride and deliberately approved I the measures for free iron ore, free lead ore, free coal and free wool winch were pending In congress at the time of the convention. The Democratic position, was so plain and ls so clear that he who runs may read. If any Democratic orator In any party of the country.forget tlng the Interests of the whole land and subserving the supposed interests of a locality, promised the people of any I state or section that there would be any exception made to the enforcement of the general principle of tree raw materi als when the. Demecrats. should obtain power, ha . exceded his authority and misinterpreted our position. It is said by somi*. in justification; of, or excuse for their present action, that the presi dent's letter of acceptance in 1892 modi fied the extreme I DEMANDS OF OUR PLATFORM. *'it is true that soma portions of his etter may tend to bear that construc tion. It was not that bold, rinsing and explicit declaration in favor of the plat form which his party had a right to ex pect, but was regarded by many as timid, cautious and conservative; but, whether this criticism is or is not well founded, the fact remains that he had no power or authority to change or alter one line or sentence of the national platform, which had beeu deliberately adopted at the national convention duly assembled. No president can be above his party. No president* can dictate to his party, No president can change his party's platform. But no matter what idea it may be claimed was intended to be conveyed in his letter of acceptance in mitigation or modification of the platform, there can ba no doubt as to the president's position at the present time on the essential principle of free raw material. Let me read from that remarkable letter of the president which was yesterday submitted to the house of representatives, lt expresses better than 1 can hope to do the true, sound and logical position of the Demo cratic party upon this question." After reading extracts from this letter, Mr. Hill went on as follows: "Mr. President, 1 approve every word that 1 have quoted. It is an honest and manly statement of the true attitude "wnich the party should assume in this crisis. lam not required to defend the propriety or wisdom of the promulga tion of this letter at this particular time. It may have been indiscreet, lt may operate as a firebrand to spread the flames of discord already kindled among party friends, honestly differing, as I am disposed to concede, upon questions of public and party policy, It may widen the breach already existing in this senate, and in that view it may be regarded as unfortuuate and ill-advised. it was * ', V A TIME for DIPLOMACY, statesmanship and conciliation, rather than recrimination, denunciation and arraignment. But aside from the ques tion of its mere expediency, I am here to defend the president's letter in so far as it demands that the patty shall not be led astray into the violation of Dem ocratic pledges and principles. Upon the question of free raw materials tne president is right, and you know it. You cannot answer his argument; you cannot successfully dispute his proposi tion. You cannot doubt his sincerity and patriotism. You must yield in the end to his views. You cannot stand up against the sentiment of the great Dem ocratic masses of the country, which will rally around the president in his contest with you unon this particular branch of the subject. The time to yield is now, before there is further humiliation, embarrassment and dis cord." Mr. President, having demon strated that the true Democrutic theory of revenue reform requires that free raw materials should be its distinguishing feature, let us uext inquire what is the con dition which now confronts us. The senate bill wnich has been prepared violates this Democratic theory, and, while it reduces the duty ou coal, iron ore, lead and some other raw materials, from those imposed under theMcKinley law, and in that respect is commenda ble, it nevertheless imposes some duties thereon, and therefore fails to redeem our pledges. It is not a question of the amount of duties that may be levied; a question of principle is involved, and a penny's duty violates our promises, aud that places us in a false position. As the president well says, there can be no compromise on a matter of this char acter, where a vital principle -is at stake. The house "of representatives, fresh from the people, which represents more distinctly and peculiarly than we do the taxing power ot the people, re pudiates our bill, and a Democratic president has ."- T r .Y^ EMPHASIZED that REPUDIATION, and the condition which confronts us is one of. extreme embarrassment. Shall we retreat or advance? Shall we sur render to the house while we can do so honorably, or shall we wait till we are driven to it? In the light ot the letter of the president, the house cannot hon orably retreat. It has no other alterna tive except to insist upon its bill where- in it provides for free raw materials. The president cannot approve the sen ate bill after what he has said in this re markable letter. He arraigns the sen- ate, and intimates that the enactment of the senate bill means 'party perfidy and party dishonor.' These are strong words, which the pres ident of the United States would not use towards a measure which he ever expected afterwards to approve. This letter, unusual and unprecedented in its character and method of promul gation though it may be, nevertheless clearly foreshadows a veto of the seuate bill, even if the bouse should finally concur iv our amendments. What per son would expect the president to ap prove the senate bill after Its vigorous and scathing denunciation contained in bis letter? You would think less of him for his glaring Inconsistency. No, this letter is consistent. It is a bold, vigorous, even if imprudent, letter, lt means war to the knife against the sen ate bill, It justifies much that has been said against the senate bill during the last few months; it means that it can never receive executive approval; it means that the senate cannot be per mitted to abandon or surrender the great underlying principles for which we struggled and lost in 1888, aud fought and won in 189.}. THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT. "There is no middle ground which we can occupy. No bill which does uot provide for free raw materials can be permitted to beconie a Jaw. It is un necessary to enter into any argument to define or designate what articles consti tute raw materials. Every -Democrat knows what they are. Any article may be considered raw material when it is in the lowest or crudest form in which it enters into commerce. This definition is ample and sufficient, and will redeem our pledges if it is honestly applied. The party platform was for free, not freer raw materia is, as is now ingenious ly contended, it the president in his wisdom had seen fit, while the debate was progressing in the senate, to have aided mv efforts to secure adhesion to this principle by expressing his views in favor thereof in some proper and le gitimate way. I should have been grati fied, and it unquestionably would have been of practical benefit to the cause.' I rejoice that he has expressed them even now, although I am not required to de fend the manner aud form of their presentation, even if they required de fense, which I do not assume. I re spectfully differ from th* president in his assumption that a tax upon sugar is necessary at tbis . time, conceding that an income tax is to be re tained. Clearly, both are not needed Continued on Four Page. SAINT PAUL MINN., SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 21, 3894. MR. DEBS FOR PRESIDENT HE IS NOMINATED AT A MASS MEET ING IN CHICAGO. OLD PARTIES DENOUNCED. Only Two ofthe Imprisoned Men ! Give Bail — Leaders of the American Railway Union Fig . ure in Five More Indictments — Signs of Settlement in Call-, fornia. j Chicago, July 23.— A mass meeting, of 1,500 men was held at Ogden ave nue tonight, and Eugene V. Debs was nominated for president of the United ! States amid great enthusiasm. The speakers were local labor men and their remarks were all of one tenor. They eulogized Debs and denounced Presi dent Cleveland. The meeting de clared itself as bitterly op posed to the Democratic riud Republican parties, and predicted 'a. sweeping success of the Populists in the next election. At a late hour the meet ing adjourned, after having adopted the report of a committee which bad drafted t a letter to President Cleveland severely' criticising his course during the recent strike. This letter, which will be for warded to the president tomorrow. Is to be signed by President Madden, of the" state federation of labor, and a number of other labor leaders. ■..*. ; Only two of the men indicted by the federal grand jury gave bail ln the United States court today. Most of the day was consumed in making out bench werrants against the Indicted. The men who gave bail were J. G. Hannahan, vice president of the Brotherhood! of Firemen, and Augustus Hodges, one of the Brighton Park strik ers. This afternoon bench warrants 1 for all the men included in the indict-. ments were handed to the marshal to be served. They numbered seventy-three."* Hannahan is charged with intimidating, and endeavor to induce a fireman to leave his cab. Debs, Howard, Keliher and Rogers figure in five, of tue indict- { uients. In one of them they are charged' with conspiring with H-innahan. Iv an-, other they are charged with conspiring. to obstruct interstate commerce and In the other they are joined a* conspira tors with otners who committed lawless acts. Debs aud the other officers are* already under $10,000 bail each under the original indictment returned against them. Their bail under the five new indictments has beeu. fixed at $3000 on each charge, making in all $25,000 bail which each will be required to give.' V i PROPHESY A SETTLEMENT.! I Signs of a Peaceable Outcome in k " California. . . '■'• t San Francisco, July 20.— 1t is proph esied ou all sides that the Southern - Pa cific strike is to be settled by Monday next. It is rumored about that negoti ations of some sort are pending between the strike leaders and the railroad offi cials, but these rumors positively can not be authenticated.: It is simply known that the strikers at Oakland wired President Debs asking whether they were authorized to negotiate with the railroad officials and that Debs answered practically instructing the California unions to act as they would deem advisable. In the face of these stories of pending negotiations, it is a significant fact that the strikers are no longer offering resistance, aud that the number of guards going out on trains has been greatly reduced. Notwith- . standing these evidences of a desire on the part of: both sides for peace, the railroad officials still insist that they are running the trains without the least: difficulty and they need no more men,, while the strikers on the other hand de clare that -the company's operating department is still woefully crippled."- The railroad managers, however, though they have been asserting for several days that they are running all trains as usual, have regularly annulled-, several important trains. Tonight, for the first time since the strike was in- i augurated, the north-bound Oregon 1 ; express was sent out, and not until to morrow night, at least, will the evening east-bound overland be restored. At Sacramento today 60'J men were at work. in the - shops.' Yesterday only 426 men: could be induced to return. The post office department has withdrawn : its coast mails from the steamships and has fully restored its service on the railroads, lt is claimed, too, that the last of the delayed Eastern mail has. reached San Francisco. - > _■ J? GAUNTLET THROWN DOWN. Missouri Pacific to Fight the A.R. U. to the Death. > \\ St. Louis, July 20.— The Missouri Pacific road has thrown . down the gauntlet to the A. R. U. for a fight to, the. death. The following certificate was today handed to a yard clerk oil that road who had reported two days ago for his old position: :■'.'] "This is to certify that — ; — ; has been employed in the capacity of clerk in the yard department of the Missouri Pacific system, St. Louis terminal divis ion, from April. 1893, to June, 1894, at which time it was necessary to lay hint off on account of the strike in the yards: He reported for work the 18th of" July. 1 but in the meantime It was learned that he was a member of the A. R. U., and was In sympath y with the strike move ment, so that we could not re-employ him.* His work aud conduct up to the* time of the strike was perfectly satis factory. J. S. Jones, "Terminal Superintendent." f' It is probable that a civil action for damages will be brought against the railroad for its action in the matter. If the statutes warrant it, a warrant will be sworn out against Supt. Jones for blacklisting or discriminating against a man because of his connection with a labor organization. . WORK AT PULLMAX,' -— . •--< ??'; Old Employes in the foundry— Shops Being Cleaned Up... ;&' ; Chicago, July 20. — The Pullman laundry was started today with a force' 1 of forty girls, most of whom were old]: employes. Three hundred men are at* work iv the shops cleaning up, oiling machinery and making a careful in spection. Iv addition to these Uso..appli^-. cations have beeu received from old' workmen. -- f'tj' The First Regiment, .I.N. . (J., wm called to aims at the Pullman works; this afternoon by the rumor that.a riot*; was In progress. r Investigation showed that the report waa caused uy a clftwy^ of women aud children vv.io had* liurl^l:" rocks, mud and insulting "'epithets!: at the -Pullman •';• laundry gi >.;.-< who went to work : today? \ One/ of; the non-union girls attempted to: ' sir '■■ ,-j'jr . 'ss escape, and was chased several blocks by the crowd. She finally escaped, and the troops soon restored quiet. No more trouble occurred until 4 o'clock, when the laundry girls quit work. When the girls left the works they were sur rounded by : a demonstrative mob of from 800 to 2,000 women and children. A portion of the crowd followed Minnie Knufmann through the streets of Pullman to her home. Near Mar ket hall they .stopped her pro.ress and began calling her names, and one woman. It is said, struck the girl In the face. Several .policemen stepped in at this juncture and gave Miss Kautmann protection as far as her home. No ar rests were made, ln the meantime an escort of ten policemen was having an interesting time protecting seventeen of the laundry girls who live in Koseland. A mob of nearly five hundred women and children and a few men. followed them from. the works down Florence -avenue and on One Hundred Eleventh street across the Illinois Central railroad tracks. The police were not accustomed to dealing with a crowd of the feminine gender, and did little more than to keep the most tur bulent women from seizing hold of the frightened girls. The entire march was enlivened with cries or "scab'" and other epithets. At lioseland.where the girls separated, each was followed home by a small group of the women, whose object seemed to be to see where each girl lived. - At 5 o'clock fifty , Hollanders, who have been employed" about the works as lumber shovers, Hack graders and repairers, left the southeastern gate of the works for their homes in Roseland. They had as a guard sixteen policemen. Scarcely had they come from the works when 100 strikers, gesticulating wildly, making threats, shouting "scab," and other names surrounded' them. They took the same course toward Roseland as had been taken by the laundry girls. Before Koseland was reached the crowd following them had increased largely, and it ha I become necessary for the police to charge it several times with a liberal use of the club before It was dispersed. Each of the men was fol lowed to his home by several strikers, but was not molested. SOLDIERS AT THE POLLS. Unusual Scene Witnessed in Pull man's Little City. , Chicago, July 20.— The unusual sight of military called to preserve order at the polls was witnessed at Pullman to day. At the Sixth primary district polling place of the Thirty-fourth ward, located at the Pullman engine house, a hot fight was waged between the factions supporting G. W. Miller and F. G. Robery for nomination at the Third senatorial convention to beld tomorrow. Miller's interest at- the Pullman polls was in charge of Aid. Chadwick. while the A. *R. U. candidate, Kobery, was supported by a large crowd of the strikers. The latter claimed that their man was not having fair . play, and that Miller had two of the three judges and all the clerks. They placed William Birkhoff at the, -polls as challenger, and Aid. Chadwick demurred.' claiming that Birk hoff was not a resident of tho district. This caused a lively row, and for a ; time looked as if ;. the crowd, which had rapidly increased In size, would clean wit the poll place. The police ; were notified and sent a patrol wagon, with Lieut. Bassett and eight officers, to the scene. At the same time some one called for troops, and two detachments of Company F. First regiment, were sent •on the double quick to the polls. The show of force prevented r any trouble, and the police drove a crowd back from the polling place. HOSTILE ENGINEERS. They Threaten to Make Trouble for Their. Successors. Toledo, Ohio, July 20.— A condition of affairs has develoDed among the brotherhood engineers on the Wabash system which may lead to trouble in that order. Since the Wanash resumed traffic after the strike. some 700 men, of whom 400 ■ are engi neers, largely brotherhood, men and the other 300 firemen, have nev er been called on to report for duty, while their engines are run by new' men. Neither have they been notified of dismissal. They are simply "hung 'up." " The Brotherhood engineers as sume that they are not wanted. They say that of the new men who have taken their places a number are Brotherhood men, and far the latter to displace them is contrary to the laws of the organiza . tlon. They propose to make things lively in the order, for some one. prob ably Chief Arthur. Officials of the Wa bash deny the statement that any of their engineers have been "hung up." The men, they say, refused to go out on their runs when ordered, and virtu ally quit the service of the company. New men wore employed, and in order to avoid trouble the majority of these were Brotherhood men. Most of them are from the East, 250 being - engineers who lost their positions through the Le high strike. Looking to the Shippers. St. Louis, July President Scan lan, of the local A. R. U., has evolved : a scheme by which he thinks he will be able to secure the reinstatement of all the strikers in their old positions. He will depend upon the shippers to -help him out.' He believes that if they petition the local railway managers to take back the old men they will do so. The strikers/however, have little faith in the scheme. Hanged a Mayor in Effigy. : Oakland, Cal., July 29.— Mayor Par dee, who issued a riot proclamation for the city of Oakland on Wednesday, In view of the railway disturbance, was hanged in effigy by the strikers to an electric light wire about midnight. The wire was so high that the police were unable last night ts procure a ladder to cut down the effigy, and the rude pre sentment of the mayor swung In the breeze under an electric light till morn ing. : -'■■■ -Sr .*„■..

I Exports of Gold Have Exercised an Influence— Loss in Customs and Gains in Internal Revenue Receipts Tariff Uncertainty a Hindering: Factor— Wheat on Thin Ice— Failures Few. i New York, July 20.— R. G. Dim & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow . will say: "The effects of the two great strikes have not yet entirely worn off, and meanwhile disagreement between the two houses of congress has made tariff uncertainties more distinct and impressive. It follows that the cus tomary tests of the conditions of busi ness are less instructive than usual. .The financial situation is somewhat less "favorable because the exports of gold have been resumed, and are $3,300,003 for the week, but the treasury receipts have been $2,046,391 for customs, against $2,951,574 last year, and $7,474. --553 internal revenue, against $2,979,518 last year. The extraordinary payments to anticipate the increase of taxation on whisky are rapidly locking up a lame amount of capital and taking from the government part of the expected in crease of revenue, while the current loss In customs receipts is largely due to the postponement of exports in ex pectation of lower duties hereafter, thus the treasury has been gaining in balance although at the expense of some loss in revenue hereafter. •Wheat has been skating on thin ice. with a chance of breaking through and making the lowest record ever known, and has declined three cents during the week. With railroads generally blocked In the wheat-delivering districts, it is a satisfactory indication that the Western receipts are about two-thirds of last year's, 2,271.514 bushels against 3.028.379 a year ago, while the exports from Atlantic ports are insignificant, only 672,402 bushels, against 2.868.627 last year. The enormous visible supplies, have less actual weight in the market than the prevalent conviction that the government estimates of yields are widely erroneous. Corn has advanced a shade with no satisfactory reason, for the . prospect is excellent for a large yield. A great speculation in oats has begun to liquidate with the customary losses to the wise men who knew all about it. Cotton has declined a fraction, and all indications still point to a ma terial increase of yield. Although there was an increase dur ing the month ot June of nearly a third in the weekly production of pig iron and the consumption in the manufacture was nearly 20.000 tons per week greater than the output of furnaces. It is ques tionable whether any further improve ment has yet occurred in July. Many of the Western establishments were j stopped because the blockade of rail • roads cut off their supplies of fuel and have not yet ventured to resume. ■ -Others west of -Pittsburg have been iu active because the coke strike continues and the limited production scarcely suf fices for the need of works near at hand. Behind all other embarrassments, there is a remarkable narrowness of demand for finished products. In steel rails the official statement shows deliveries of only 340.000 tons for the first half of 1894. against 571,864 tons for tbe first half of last year. The! most hopeful sign noted this week is that failures continue compara tively few and not very important. The aggregate of liabilies for the twelve days ending July 12 was $2,630,306. of which $1,009,821 was of manufacturing and $1.448.204 0f trading concerns.which is decidedly " below the average for the past half year. The failures this week have been 236 in the United States aga'nst 467 last year, aud 44 in Canada against 25 last year. BRADSTREET'S REVIEW. Disappearance of the Strike Causes Trade to Improve. New York, July. 20. -Bradstreet's review of the state of trade tomorrow will say: The disappearance of the great railway strike of 1594, the revival of regular freight ; schedules, and the customary movement of produce and merchandise by water and rail, have - done much to: restore something like the preceding volume of trade. The effects of the recent wide-spread dis turbance in transportation and indus trial circles are now making themselves felt in bank clearings returned, the aggregate this week being only $820. --000.030—a drop, as compared with last week, of about 8 per cent, and as com pared with the third week in July, 1893. of 16 per cent. Exports of wheat, flour . included, both coasts. United States and Canada, are again moderate, being only 1,873,600 bushels, compared with, 2,377,000 bushels Inst week; 5,077, --000 bushels last year; 2,716,000 bushels • in the like week of 1592, and 2,330,000 bushels in 1891. The stock market is feverish and dull in the unsettled con dition of the tariff bill. Interest and activity center in Sugar, the street con , sideling that the whole fate of tho measure centers In the schedule of duties on that article. Railroad stocks are dull and neglected, the expectation \ of better earnings following the open ing of the roads being offset by the heavy losses and stoppage of earnings while the strike was in progress. The fruit trade at New Orleans is . greatly improved since railroad traffic . has been resumed, and there is more . demand, for building materials, favor ' able crop reports through Louisiana ' having stimulated a better feeling. 1 Galveston jobbers report more orders 1 in all lines, particularly dry goods and ! notions. Among Western cities where 1 general trade remains quiet and dull, and without material change (except 5 that due to resumption of railway traf " fie) are: , Cleveland, Milwaukee, Min neapolis, St. Paul and Duluth. Cincin nati and Louisville report some gain in trade, with a tendency on the part of • currency to move to the country. t Kansas City jobbers find orders i for fall delivery fairly numerous, 1 and ' at Omaha country merchants 5 are ordering more freely. The . total volume of trade at Chicago, not withstanding resumption of railway traffic, is relatively light, that tor gro , ceries being ; most active. Relatively, ■ the most favorable report comes trom :. St. Louis, where general trade Is said to ■"* have much improved, and where fre- q uency of favorable crop reports from , tributary territory stimulates an im . proved feeling among jobbers and ' others. At Portland. Or., general trade v has Improved, and there is a marked recovery at San Francisco, although the volume is still below tho normal. The engagement of a vessel Y to load f lumber at Puget sound for Alexandria, Egypt, the first instance of the kind, is *' reported, as well as the resumption of 1 « neat exports from San Fraucisco to ' the United Kingdom. •' i ! -,*, ; . 5 Not Affected by the Strike. .
