duce trust?, and would not vote against it
or for it. He said that any desire to em-
phasize the money question as the para-
mount one was not justified by the course
these g-entlemen pursued, as ihe free coin-
age of gold anil silver would not produce
prosperity and h;\npin«»ss as long as laws
stood on ihe statute books which taxed the
many for the henetit of the few. He de-
clared the democratic party great and good
enough for every patriot, and for every
friend of silver, but it must not surrender
cardinal principles, for one of the cardinal
principles was that a tariff should not be
levied for other than revenue purposes, and
any man who bciievrd otherwise was not a
democrat. He said the gold standard demo-
crats and allies of the '-publicans in the
last campaign would now complain that
this campaign, won on the money question,
had be-.n converted into a feast of tariff
debauchery. In conclusion he said: "Gold
standard tariff reformers will not be satis-
lied with tariff robbery, opponents of the
trusts will find no comfort. Organized la-
bor has not realized 011 republican cam-
paign promises of more work and better
wages. Business interests pressing for a
bankruptcy law are not jubilant over the
exploits of our bimetallic rovers or the be-
lated message favoring a farcical currency
commission. Delayed pension claimants
will not glory in the invasion of Europe by
General Miles. Striking miners find no con-
solation in the queen's jubilee or Whitelaw
Reid's nap in Windsor castle. Lovers of
liberty will not accept the acquisition of
the Hawaiian lepers as atonement for the
betrayal of Cuban patriots. The wrath of
an outraged people in 1900 will cover the re-
publican party as the lava from Vesuvius
did the ancient cities Pompeii and Hercu-
laneum.

The announcement was made by Mr.
Bailey on ihe floor in the evening that lv?
intended to speak at night. The result was
that the galleries quickly overflowed when
right came, and the corridors were crowd-
ed with people who wanted to get in. No
man ever received more attention. He de-
livered his speech without notes, though
he had been preparing it for some time. It
may be truly said to have been the effort
of his life. He spoke slowly and deliber-
ately, at no time essaying any flights, but
confining himself to the statements of facts
and drawing deductions from them. He was
frequently applauded and throughout the
entire effort, which lasted an hour and a
half, every man on the floor gave him the
closest attention. When he was at the end
of his remarks he was warmly congratu-
lated, and it may be said that he is safely
at the head of the democratic party in
congress.
♦ ♦ ♦
Now the all absorbing question is: "What
will the democrats in the senate do in re-
gard to the report of the conference com-
mittee on the tariff bill?" The southern
members are all intensely interested in the
matter of cotton bagging and the material
entering into it and cotton ties. The house
put these on the dutiable list. The senate
put them back on the free list. The con-
ference committee restored them to the
dutiable list, and that is the way the mat-
ter stands. The southern members would
fight this even to the point of filibustering
if they had any reasonable grounds to be-
lieve that they could accomplish anything
by it. Aldrich said to-day that the demo-
crats were'trying to get up a combination
with those republicans from the west who
oppose the reinstatement of $2 a thousand
on white pine and force this article and
cotton bagging and cotton ties on the free
list, but that it would fail. The demo-
crats of the senate do not deny that they
are trying to get up these combinations,
but they talk rather despondingly. If this
item was out of the way the bill would go
through the senate without any trouble
from the democrats, but they say that per-
haps the silver republicans and populists
may delay action with their speeches. It
will be remembered that these, or the ma-
jority of them, would neither vote, for nor
against the bill. The speeches contemplated
perhaps will be made, if made at all, in
vindication of their course rather than to
delay the measure. The democrats in the
house are sore because they got little time
to debate, the matter in that body, and are
calling on their brethren in the senate to
avenge them by refusing to be hurried; but
all are tired; all want to see the effect of
the bill, and it will become a law at an
early day.

Mr. E. H. R. CJreen of Texas came to the
capitol on Saturday evening and visited the
departments to-day. He expressed himself
to his friends as satisiied with the outlook.

Result of the Day.
Washington, D. C., July 19.—The confer-
ence report on the tariff bill was adopted
by the house shortly after midnight, by a
vote of 185 to 118, and at noon to-day the re-
port will go to the senate for action then
This eclipses all previous records. The r
suit was accomplished after twelve hours of
continuous debate. But two speeches were
made by the republicans, the principal one
being that of Mr. Dingley. The democrat?
were thus forced to put forth speaker after
speaker, but their bombardment of the re-
publican position was unanswered. The su
gar schedule was the main point of assault
but the most interesting feature of the de-
bate occurred when Mr. Bailey and Mr. Mc-
Millin. the two rival leaders, crossed swords
on the question of the orthodoxy of the free
raw material doctrine, the former opposing
and the latter championing it. The galleries
were crowded up to the time the vote was
taken. Every republican who was present
was for the bill. The democrats, with live
exceptions, voted against the report. The
exceptions were Slayden of Texas, Bros-
sard of Louisiana, Meyer of Louisiana, L>a-
vey of Louisiana, and Kleberg of Texas.
The populists and silverites did not vote
solidly. Mr. Shafroth of Colorado and New-
lands of Nevada, silverites, abstained from
voting. Mr. Hartman. sllverite, of Mon-
tana, did not vote. The populists who voted
against the report were as follows: Baker,
Barlow, Botkin, Fowler, Jett, Lewis, Mar-
shall, Martin, Peters, Simpson, Stroud and
Vincent. Four did not vote—Howard, Kelly,
Stark and Southerland. The other populists
were absent.
An analysis of the vote shows that 180 re-
publicans and & democrats voted for the re-
port; 106 democrats and 12 populists again, t
it.
To Defent Conference llcport.
Washington, D. C., July 19.—Some oppo-
nents of the tariff bill made a hasty can-
vass of the senate during the executive
session of the senate to-day and expressed
the opinion that it was possible to defeat
the conference report by a majority if a
senator is appointed to the Tennessee va-
cancy. To secure this, however, all the
democrats*, including McEnery, who voted
for the bill, and those who refused to vote
either way, including Stewart of Nevada
and Mantle (silver republican) who voted
lor the bill, would be necessary.
Nomination!*.
Washington, D. C., July 19.-The presi-
dent to-day sent the following nominations
to the tenate:
Interior: Charles IT. Tsham of Mary-
land, commissioner of the district of
Alaska; George Christ, surveyor general of
.Arizona; Alpheus H. Hanson, surveyor
general of Wyoming.

Marshall, Harrison Co., Tex., July 19.—
JWalter O'Ferrall, late agent of the Kansas
City, Pittsburg and Gulf railway at Odessa,
Ark., was arrested here to-day. Mr. O'Fer-
rall waived extradition paper's and left for
Texarkana to-day in custody of an ofiicer.
Washington, D. 0., July 19.—'The floor ot'
the house present' 1 an animated appear-
ance long before the speaker rapped that
body to order to-day. Members stood
about in groups and discussed, sometimes
in excite*! tones, the result of the confer-
ence agreement 011 the tariff bill. The
ilnal conference report on the general defi-
ciency appropriation bill was adopted.
This out of the way, Mr. Dingley arose, and
holding aloft the report and a great mass
of papers, said.in a calm tone:
"Mr. Speaker, T desire to present the
conference report on the tariff bill."
Salvos of applause from the republican
side greeted this announcement. An ef-
fort was made to secure an agreement for
a vote. Mr. Bailey said the minority de-
sired three dbys, but, finding they could
not obtain them, would be satisfied with
two.
Mr. Dingley refused to agree to this, say-
lg it would cost the treasury $100,000 a
day.
'Not so expensive as the ten days spent
in arranging the s igar schedule, with the
ugar trust," retorted Mr. Bailey, amid
a counter round of applause by his follow-
ers.
Mr. Dingley in reply pointed out that
never before in legislative history had a
tariff bill been in conference so brief a
time. The McKin'ey bill had been in con-
ference two weeks, "and our friends on the
other side." said he, addressing the demo-
crats, "in 1S94 were in conference six weeks
without reaching an agreement."
"The trouble in 1S94." retorted Mr. Baiiey,
"was that we were trying to run the dem-
ocratic party with a lot of mugwumps In
committee." (Laughter.)
Mr. Dingley continued his efforts to fix
a time for a vote, but republicans during
the discussion cried "vote, vote."
"I suggest we wait until sugar stock goes
up a little higher," said Mr. Bailey, sarcas-
tically. "it has gone up a share since
the agreement was reported."
Mr. Dingley then opened his speech on the
conference report. He took up each sched-
ule. explaining in detail the changes made
and followed closely the formal statement
given out by the committee. Concerning
the sugar schedule, Mr. Dingley read from
the official statement, adding brief com-
ments. By the arrangements about $2,000,-
000 increase of revenue would be realized,
as the increase had been placed on raw su-
gars at the point where revenue would be
received and at the same time the beet su-
gar industry will receive substantial bene
lit.
When Mr. Dingley referred to the elimin-
ation of the stamp tax, Mr. Todd (D) of
Michigan asked him if he then "confessed
t'hat they had abandoned the idea of tax-
ing the stock gamblers of Wall street."
"Not at all," said Mr. Dingley. "We dis-
covered that the sales In Wall street could
not be followed. No record is kept. The
machinery of collecting would be too com
plicated."
Mr. Cooper (R) of Wisconsin asked an
explanation of the net result of the change
of the sugar schedule.
Mr. Dingley explained with the statement
submitted by the conferees. The differen-
tial to the refiner, he said, was exactly the
same as the house bill. This started a vol-
ley of questions about the sugar schedule.
Mr. Johnson (R) of Indiana wanted to
know if the increased rate on refined sugar
would not increase the profits of the trust
on the anticipatory importations of raw
sugars.
Mr. Dingley explained the impossibility
of preventing these profits. Mr. Dingley,
after a calculation, affirmed that the refin-
ers of sugar under the present Wilson law-
had a differential of 22'^ cents per 100
pounds, as against 12!o cents in the pending
1 bill as agreed to by the conferees.
As to the question of revenue to be raised
by t«he bill, Mr. Dingley pointed out the
difficulty resulting from the large anticipa-
tory importations. The bill next year, he
said, would raise $225,000,000, $5f>,000,000 more
than the present law. Over $40,000,O'JO had
been lost in this year's revenues by the im-
portations of wool and sugar and other
things the duty on which was raised in the
bill, so that he thought the bill this year
would raise $185,000,000. Mr. Dingley de-
clared that there was no doubt that the
revenue produced by the bill would not
only be ample to meet the expenses of the
government, but- allow a republican aumln
istratlon. again to begin to pay off the prin-
cipal of the public debt, which had been in-
creased by the late administration.
In conclusion Mr. Dingley received round
after round of applause from his repub*
liean colleagues by predicting as a result
of the enactment of this bill a rise in
prices and a rest-oration of prosperity.
Mr. Wheeler (D) of Alabama opened the
debate for the democrats, criticising the bill
as the most vicious and burdensome ever
imposed on the Ameiiean people. In par-
tucular, he discussed the serious effect of
the measure on the laboring and agricultur-
al clashes. He r< ferred to the advance on
sugar stock in the New York market to-day,
and said this was the clearest evidence of
the benefits conferred on the sugar trust.
Mr. Swanson (D) of Virginia devoted his
attention to assailing the sugar schedule.
He asserted that the proposed schedule gave
sugar double the protection received under
the present law.
One of the greatest demonstrations of the
debate occurred when Mr. I^anham (D) of
Texas paid a tribute to W. J. Bryan. The
democratfe cheered for several minutes, and
many ot the spectators Joined in the dem-
onstration.
Mr.. Ball (D) of Texas, who secured a few
minutes' time, declared that it was not un-
democratic to advocate the raising of reve-
nues on wools, sugar, lumber, etc., but he
denounced democrats who sought protec-
tion for the industries of their sections.
After an extended debate. In which noth-
ing of a very startling nature occurred,
the house at G o'clock took a recess until
8 p. m.
In the galleries at the night session were
many distinguished personages of both
aexes. Altogether it was a brilliant setting
for the close of a memorable struggle. The
republicans still pursued ilia tactics they
had adopted during the day's session. None
of them claimed the floor and the minority
was compelled to put forward its speakers.
Therefore, after McDowell of Ohio and
Berry of Kentucky, both democrats, had
made brief speeches*. Mr. Bailey, the dem-
ocratic ieader who had be* 11 reserving his
*f»e-M»h for the close, took the floor. He
made a carefully prepared argument, deal-
ing more with the general principles in-
I volvtd than with the details*. Time and
again during the progress of his remarks
the democrats were aroused by his elo-
luence to a high pitch of enthusiasm.
Just before the close of Mr. Bailey's re-
marks the most sensational incident of the
lobatc occurred. He had been assailing
the doctrine of free raw m?trials as a
omparativc innovation in 11 « democratic
>d. In order to demonstrate that it.
was a product of Cleveland ism, he sent to
the clerk's desk and had read an extract
roni a newspaper commenting on the fact
hat in the Forty-ninth congress, Senator
Mills, then a. member of the house, Mr.
McMillin of Tennessee, and two other
democratic members of the ways and mei'.ns-
ommlttee hail voted against, free wool.
Mr. McMillin jumped to his feet anil de-
manded to know whether it was charged
that he had voted against free wool.
"William F. Morrison told me. so with
his own lips." said Mr. Bailey, facing Mr.
McMillin, whose face was flushed.
"Not only that, but he said both you
ind Senator Mills voted against some re-
m lions in the metal schedule."
"Since the gentleman has seen fit to at-
tack my record and to misrepresent me—"
began Mr. McMillin. but Mr. Bailey qulck-
dlsclaim.d any purpose of attacking
him. "I desire to commend your action,
then." said he.
McMillin hotCy asked in turn whether
Mr. Bailey had voted in the ways and
neans committee against the woolen sched-
le of the present law when it was offered
s a substitute 'or the high rates in the
pending measure.
A wave of applause ran over the demo-
ratic side by this que tion. but it was
lrowned in the perfect storm of approval
hat greeted Mr. Bailey's reply that never
is long as he was In congress would he
vote for r»0 per cent duties on woolen goods
ind no duties on raw wool. The repuuli-
nis and the galleries joined in this demon-
stration.
"How could the gentleman from Tennes-
he continued, when the applause sub-
sided. "vote for free wool in the face of
Chicago platform which he helped to
defend?"
"The Chicago platform did not take the
back track on the principle of tariff for
revenue only," replied Mr. McMillin.
'I'll prove that It did." continued Mr.
Bailey. He proceeded to argue that the
Chicago p'atform did return to the old
lemocratic theory. The present democratic
platform sought to rescue the party from
those who were wrecking it. When the
party was making new recruits the wreck-
•rs had entered it. When he repudiated
the Cleveland heresy and announced the
doctrine that "all taxes should be laid for
evenue only," the democrats in sympathy
with him cheered lustily.
Mr. Bailey spoke for about two and a
half hours. He was warmly congratulated.
Mr. McMillin, In his speech in return,
delved into Mr. Bailey's past and pointed
out occasions when that statesman had
voted for free iron ore, free barbed wire,
free sugar and even free wool in the Fifty-
second congress. Mr. McMillln's comment
on the inconsistency of Mr. Bailey's free
wool vote caused much merriment. In con-
clusion he appealed to the democracy to go
into the battle again with banners bearing
the old motto, and when Mr. Bailey got the
floor long enough to say that when he cast
the votes referred to by Mr. McMillin, the
indorsed doctrine of his party was free raw
material, and as a loyal democrat he sup-
ported its present form.
He now held a commission from the de-
mocracy to oppose that doctrine, and he
should do so.
Mr. Dingley took the floor for his closing
remarks. He avowed that the schedule
gave a slight additional protection to re-
fined sugar, but at the same time it raised
raw sugar all along the line. Trusts, he
said, could not be eradicated by epithets.
"The way to break down the trusts," he
cried, "is to establish a sugar beet factory
in every congressional district in the coun-
try and make competition. That is the
way to clip the wings of the trusts." (Long
and continued applausfe on the republican
side.)
Amid a storm of cheers Mr. Dingley then
demanded the previous question on the con-
ferer.ee report.
Vainly Mr. Johnson (R) of Indiana tried
to ask Mi. Dingley a question while the
question was being put. Several times he
cried "Mr. Speaker!" but was not recog-
nized. The demand was sustained by a
viva voce vote, and the vote on the adop-
tion of the report followed by yeas and
nays. Considerable excitement occurred
while the vote was being taken. When the
speaker announced the vote as 189 ayes and
llfi nays the republicans broke into loud
cheers.
The house then, at 12.15 a. m., took a re-
cess until Wednesday.
SENATE.
Washington, D. C., July 19.—The senate
after assembling went into executive ses-
sion for over two hours, and on reopening
the doors the conference report on the gen-
eral deficiency bill was agreed to.
The Harris resolution in regard to the
Union Pacific railroad was taken up. and
Mr. Morgan continued his speech on the
subject. He read a letter from a corre-
spondent saying that in the manipulations
of the stock the large shareholders had
been protected, while smaller holders had
been frozen out. Tills was about to be
done again. He hoped that the president
would defer action In order to enable con-
gress to look into the matter.
Mr. Harris of Kansas hoped that a vote
would soon be had.
Mr. Thurston gave notice of his intention
to discuss the subject )n the future.
Mr. Stewart then took the floor. He re-
viewed the history of the construction of
the road, contending that it. was a patriotic
effort and not a scheme to rob the govern
ment.
Mr. Harris, in refutation of this, called
attention to President Cleveland's stric-
tures upon the lTnion Pacific management
in his message of January 17. 1888.
Mr. Stewart said he did not wish to ex-
onerate the company from payment of just
dues to the government, but objected to
their being regarded as criminals. The
resolution under consideration would ac-
complish no purpose.
Mr. Thurston of Nebraska then spoke in
opposition to the resolution. The proposition
before the senate, he said, was simply to
invest another $4,000,000 and take * the
chance of getting it back on the ultimate
sale of the road.
At 5 o'clock an executive session was
held and then the senate adjourned.

The ambassadors have informed the porte

Report of Republican Conferees
to Full Committee.
Struck by Lightning.
Nacogdoches, Tex., July 18.—During the
rain last night the lightning did some lively
work out about Cordova prairie, from six
to ten miles east of town. Besides demol-
ishing trees here and there, it struck the
Methodist arbor near Bob Elliott's erected
for camp meeting purposes, tearing up
trees and timbers. Also at B. B. Halton's It
struck a tree near his horse stable and
killed a line buggy horse that was in the
stable, seriously injured another horse and
slightly injured a third, but others escaped
that were quite near. The buggy horse be-
longed to John T. Lucas of this place, who,
with his wife, had driven out to spend the
night there.

Washington. D. C., July 19.-The tariff
was pushed through the conference to-day
rifter two hours' discussion before the full
committee, held in the senate finance com-
mittee room this morning.
At the outset the democratic conferees
ask d until to-morrow morning to go over ;
the report, saying this course was prefer-
able to going over it with the republicans.
To test this question. Mr. Vest (D) of
Missouri moved an adjournment until to-
morrow, which was defeated by a strictly
party vote. The democratic conferees then
urged an amendment to the report, but
were met with the statement that it would
merely consume time to urge amendments,
as they would be reiected.
Representative Wheeler (D) of Alabama
offered amendments placing cotton bag-
ging und cotton ties on the free list; also
a proposition for rebates on these articles.
These and other amendments were with-
drawn. however, as there was no prospect
of favorable action on them.
Shortly before noon Mr. Dingley moved
that the report be submitted to the two
houses. This prevailed by a party vote,
and the meeting adjourned. There was lit-
tle clash during the discussion, and the
democratic memoers of the conference con-
tented themselves with a protest against
the report and the manner of agreeing
to it.
Repuhlleun Report to Full Committee
Washington, D. C., July 19.—The repub-
lican conferees to-day reported the agree-
ment they had reached on the tariff bill
to the full conference committee and also
made public a statement concerning the
conference report, which reviews the
changes made. Of sugar the statement
says:
"The house differential between raw and
refined sugars and the general features of
the house schedule are preserved, and the
senate amendments increasing the differen-
tial to one-fifth and providing for a reduc-
tion of one-tenth of the duty on raw sugar
not above ST degrees, which would have
given a duty of 1.3 on 88 degrees, and only
1.27 on 87 degrees, is stricken out. The duty
on raw sugar is increased seven and one-
half hundredths, so as to make the in-
crease 011 them the same as the increase
011 refined sugar and thus leave the differ-
ential between raw sugar and refined the
same as in the house bill, and to meet the
opposition urged that the house rates on
low grade sugar show a higher ad valorem
than those on the higher grades, the duty
on 75 degrees sugar is reduced five-hun-
dredths of one cent and then the duty per
degree in increased regularly from three
hundredths (as proposed in the house bill)
to three and a half hundredths, In order to
raise the duty on raw sugars the same as
on refined. By this arrangement the duty
on raw sugars of 100 degrees purity is
raised from 1.75 (as proposed originally by
the house) to 1.82%, and the duty on re-
lined sugar i-s raised from 1.87V2 (as pro-
posed originally by the house) to 1.95, thus
giving the same differential of 12^ hun-
dredths between raw and refined sugar at
this point, as was originally given by the
house. A» this arrangement will increase
the revenue over $2,000,000 and at the same
time give additional encouragement to the
production of sugar in this country, it is
thought to be a desirable consummation."
THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.
The paragraph in relation to sugar in full
follows:
"Sugars not above No. 1G Dutch standard

crete and concentrated molasses testing by

The conference restored the house rate of
28c on sugar cane. Saccharine is made $1.50
per pound and 10 per cent ad valorem. The
confectionery paragraph Is changed to read
as follows:
"Sugar candy and all confectionery not

HIDE SCHEDULE.
