GORMAN HAS FAITH
the Passage of a Tariff Measure
and So Advises Democratic
v Senators.
SENATORS GETTING ANGRY
And Protest at the President's Interference
at This Late Day—Republicans
Threaten to Filibuster.
Washington. July 21,—[Spodjnl.l—The situ-
ation iff ms confusing on ih»* tariff 1)111 to-
day a* it has ever been. One niomen'i you
are told by members of the house that the
?1ou<Im are breaking away, the storm has
passed and fair weather Is In prospect tor
the bill; the next moment you are told tha»t
the heavens are overcast and that the
wind's sigh presages in the topmost limbs
a great storm.
I't .s almost useless to go among the
law makers for information, because the
more you meet of them the more confused
you become. Everybody adds, however,
that on Monday we will have some Insight
into the situation, for on that day there
will 1>e speeches from the leaders and on
that day the senate's action on the report
of iheir conferrees that there is a disagree-
ment in the conference committee will be
made known.
Tit* senators become more angry as the
hours pass over Mr. Cleveland's letter to
Mr. Wilson. They protest against hi<? in-
terference now, when he should have in-
terfered before. They protest against the
la<ncsJHig$. used by him toward the senate.
They protest against his having said any-
thing at all, without first ascertaining the
exact strain the democrats were under in
the senate to pass the measure. They de-
clare that he and Carlisle made no objec-
tion to the amendments as offered by the
finance committee and they cry out that
he has abandoned them now, as he aban-
doned them when the compromise on silver
was arranged.
Mr. Gorman will make a speech on Mon-
day. His colleagues say that he will charge
the president and Carlisle with a knowledge
and assent «to the amendments. He will
show that all the concessions made were
made in the interest of the party and the
country and to secure passage of the
measure. Great things are expected of
him and he must not fall below expecta-
tions, because he is looked upon by his
democratic associates as the man who got
them into their trouble and he must get
then! out of it or demonstrate to tin- coun-
try that the attitude of his party in the
senate 'to the bill was eminently proper.
After the speeches are made and per-
haps several votes taken, one of which
will be to expunge the one-eighth of 1
per cent differential favorable to the re-
iiners, the question will be, What shall be
done with the report?
(Mr. Gorman <said to-day that there would
ibe no. change in the situation from yes-
terday. and that the conferrees of the sen-
ate would be sent back to the conference
without instructions. The meaning of this
no one seems to 'know, but it look« as if
the senate conferrees are to use their dis-
cretion and no longer be left in the em-
barrassing position'Jof saying, "Take this
bill or nothing."
One view of the matter is that perhaps
Gorman wants the senate conferrees to
yield to the house, cut off the obnoxious,
unpopular senate amendments, and when
the bill comes cleaned to that body it will
toe defeated there by vindicating his posi-
tion that the .concessions were necessary
to fras^ the bill. Still ano-ther view is that
with 4hc hands of the senate conferred
flnrled they can knock off the one-eighth
ofrl per cent if the senate U^es not do so,
as.d with th»is improvement the house will
accept the tax on the coal, iron and lead ore
features of the measure and thereby end
the matter.
There i,R no doubt of the fact that there
is a very large element in /the h'Jtjse which
favors the acceptance of the senate bill
and then at once put in and pass popgun
ibiRs which will remedy tlie defects com-
plained of w-hMle the house could readily
pass 3=11 cPi ■biMs. For instance, bills to cut
down the tariff on woolen grto'd?* ai\d put-
ting-coal, iron, sugar and lead ore on the
rfree list. Such bills could never pass the
house, because the -conservatives, or high-
waymen, would not only light them, but
the republicans ippenly say that they would
filibuster against them. This latter course
would win. As has been frequently re-
marked, tho" senate has no rule to prevent
filibaj^terLpg. /
T.herte, is another element in the house
whjqh i thinks 'it has the senate on the
rutvand it /intends to keep it on t'he run.
Thus element -beMeves the country would
sustain it if no bill passed.
"?fter people,'V said one of them to me.
"cfc "not want to buy (he votes of alleged
democratic senators at Uvp price demanded,
and" :we do not intend to buy. The people
iwgl sustain us."
tn this element are Messrs. Crisp, "Wilson,
C^tClfltlgs and others, who generally do
the most of the management in that body.
A' republican senator said to me this
evfiriirig: "We know the situation on the
democratic, side. One tilling you can rely
. t nait is that no blli will ever pass
ttn'j^hioh is the one-eighth differential ill
favor of the -refthers of sugar. That be-
dng cut, off the bill may pass, though it
ha«s a rocky road before it even with that
item expunged."
tipwever, it is apparent to-night that the
prosperf of the passage of a tariff 'bill
ds' much brighter than yesterday or even
4his morning. The promised democratic
caucus, did not come off, though there have
fbeen.jcqjnferences going on among the demo-
cratic- senators all day. These conferences
might:.be called running Conferences, us
thtp.se ..engaged have indulged in them by
walking around together. There can be no
facts painted out showing why the chances
of the passage af a bill have increased.
M«r. Gorman told a democratic senator
no*~to b** discouraged, for a tariff measure
wiW pp>ss. He se^ms to have confidence,
ibut, as In all things, he is keeping the
treason of the faith that is in him strictly
to himself.
A SBN1ATO.RIIAT, WAIL.
Washington, July SI.—[Special.]—'"How in
•the name of common sense diid the low
tariff and free trade democrats in the sen-
ate ever allow themselves to be put in such
an. attitude as that they have occupied for
the past two months?" was asked of a
senator to-day.
"We were hooked before we knew what
fwe were about and we could at no time get
away," was the answer, and dt did not
come pleasantly, for there is not a -demo-
cratic senator outside of the conservatives,
09 «they call • themselves, or t'he highway-
men, as they are called toy their enemies,
who is not to-day mad, crestfallen, mys-
tified, abashed and desirous of hiding his
head when asked how in the name of com-
mon sense he could have been led Jinto
fighting for a measure which he cordially
Ihated.
"It was this way," th^» senator contin-
ued. "When the bi!) came over from the
house we were summoned to a caucus. In
that caucus «the fact was enlarged upon
that we had a very nan ,w margin; that
at would require zeal. jiidity and sac-
rifice to put trie ff':\ through. There was
one idea with ife all. and that was the ap-
preciation nf »e demands of the public
for th.'.paswaif- of a 'tariff hi::. We had
.ncn rule -Wh.tt.. would Stop I Oare. There
.•were menr :i our w <{-lV
believei that a r. r I . , i ,,. the
worst jv»ssi..:- ' : . 'iat *■. „ ; f ,

cratic senators differing, a: d taat HubiK>rn-
fly w.'th tJie great niaj ..i\ ..f :h - d» m-
icrats.- We were in the mood i . ,si n to
almost any advice looking to harmonious
aottoii.
"When we were in this mood, Mr. Gor-
man. who lias been the leader among us
dn the management of the affairs of the
democrat- in t'he senate when a crisis je-
CUfTed.' Tlfl'd WhO WaS the Chairman c\t
the democratic steering committee, ami of
the caucus, came forward with an agree-
ment in hi* own handwriting. You must
remember that the houae bill had Just about
retch-d the senate finance committee and
very little if anythiing had been done to ft.
I lis pi o|M)Hlt'lon set forth in agreement was
that we should rely on the Judgment of
the finance committee, which would ob-
serve democratic lines, follow t'he demo-
cratic flalth and do tin* very berft that coul l
be done,
"\\. were noit to offer an amendment
ourselves and were to light all amend-
ments conning from any source other than
the ilnance committee, for If amendments
from the outside were encouraged then the
progress toward the passage of the bill
would be clogged. We all agreed to this.
"Vou can Imagine our surprise when the
finance commltuee brought «!n about 100
amendments, and how w- chafed when we
realized what they were; hut we were
bound hand and foot. We had proceeded
to such an extent that then* was no with-
drawal, and there we were sobl/.tigly voting
for amendments that we never dreamed
would be offered, and which turned our
stomachs a* we swallowed them.
•\Sometimes there wus a disposition to
rebel about them; our narrow majority
was then trotted out for our delectation.
More than this, we were told that the
'amendments had been submitted to the
president and Mr. Carlisle and they in-
dorsed them. The whole story lis too sad
for repetition. We were hohlooed, befuz-
d ami made idiots of. and I want to say
right now that from this time on I shall
af't on my own hook, voting for free raw
material, free sugar, free everything, and
the d -d caucus will only toe remembered
by me as a nightmare alone."
And this senator's words tell exactly how
the senate bill with tits amendments got
the democratic votes In that body. Mr.
G irman had done the work, so it was 'Mr.
Gorman's |>HJ, as has been said, and "STr.
Gorman had perfected all pl-ans to put it
through, as he did put it through.
A NEW DAXGRH THREATENS.
Washington, July 21,—[Special.]—A rather
peculiar development came up late last
night which seriously threatens the life of
the tariff bill.
It will be remembered that Mr. Vilas has
offered an amendment to the senate bi-11,
or rather introduced in the way of an
amendment, an instruction to the senate
conferrees to recede from the senate's one-
eighth of 1 per cent differential on sugar
in favor of the refiners.
I am informed to-night by a democratic
senator that -Senator Harris, the presiding
officer during the absence of the vice pres-
ident, will rule that the Vilas amendment
is out of order, and that if the sugar
amendment is to be dealt with it must foe
dealt with as a whole.
This means tfhat the 40 per cent ad va-
lorem in raw sugar, one-eighth of 1 per
cent differential In favor of refiners and
one-tenth of 1 per cent against foreign
countries which pay an export duty, like
Germany, must all be considered together
The only way to do this is by a motion
to direct the senate conferrees to agree
to the house sugar schedule, which puts
'It all on the free list. If the Gorman cau-
cus could any longer hold the men who
participated in it the democrats would not
agree to such instructions. But to-night
there are several democrats who will vote
to so Instruct the senate conferrees and
put sugar on the free list.
The republicans will vote solidly in
favor of the instruction and there is a fine
prospect of its going through. If it does,
then the fate of sugar is settled.
Then the next move feared is that some
republican may move to indefinitely post-
pone the bill. Tn this case the republicans
would vote solidly for such postponement,
and with them Caffery and Blanchard of
Louisiana, sure, with Smith of New Jer-
sey nearly certain, and Allen and Kyle
probably.
Caffery and Blanchard are interested in
cane growing in their states, Allen and
Kyle are looking out for the beet sugar
industry and Smith is looking out for the-
refiners.
The danger w«hen this is pointed out can
be readily seen. Thus becomes apparent
the remarkable uncertainty of affairs here
One hour a condition exists that may be
changed by the next. The democrats hav-
ing seen this danger, may try to retrieve
themselves of it. to-morrow and may be
ready to meet it on (Monday. If they ex-
pect to pull through they will have to get
together very fast.
SCttATI IN VESTTGATING COAfcM'ITTIEffi.
Washington, July 21,—'The senate sugar
•investigating committee resumed dts work
•to-day and in the old manner. Only Setv
ators Gray, Lindsay and Davis of the'com-
mittee were present, hut they had several
witnesses betfore them and announced >a
determination to proceed with the woTk
so long as there were any possibilities of
securing witnesses who would furnivsh any
testimony.
The rhoSt important witness of ..the day
was 'Henry Rood of the New York: Herald,
who wrote the article in that paper upon
which the present branch of the inquiry
is based. Mr. Rood was examined at
length as to the sources df jfi.Ies informa-
tion, and an especial efforts! was made by
the members to get the best information
at Mr. flood's command as to his state-
ments that United States senators had been
speculating in sugar stocks since the tariff
bill was taken up in the senate, despite
their denials. It is understood that Mr.
Rood responded to tilts request as fully as
lie was able to do and professed a. will-
ingness <to aid the Committee to the ex-
tent of his ability, 'it was impossible to
secure the details of the testimony.
When Senator Gray was asked for a
statement as tn'the proceedings he replied
that he could say nothing, arid that it
was the intention of the commission not
t<» give out any information as to the tes-
timony until the present branch of the
inquiry was completed. The reason given
•Tor taking this position is that the publi-
cation oL' ihe facts uWcited would intcr-
feit vfith |he plans of the committee and
prevent as complete an inquiry as they de-
sire to make. To-day's witnesses, there-
fore, were all warned that they were on
the same plane as witnesses before a grand
jury, and were warned against divulging
the proceedings to anyone.
Other witnesses of the day were W. B.
Wheeler, a New York broker, and A. M.
Help ef jlhis city. Mr. Wheeler stated to
the committee that lie had never placed
any orders for senators for sugar stocks
and was unable to give any information.
Mr. Seip has been represented in the news-
papers us saying that he had come into
possession of knowledge of the fact that
a certain senator had placed orders for
sugar stock during the spring, and to
•have stated that it was placed with a
man then representing the firm of Seymour,
Young & Co., New York brokers.
SITUATION IN THE SENATE.
Washington, July 21.—When the senate on
Friday adjourned over until Monday, it was
understood that it was done with the hope
of making peace in the democratic party
by patching up the differences on the tariff
bill.
Among other plans which some of the
democratic senators had in view was one
getting Senator Vilas to withdraw his mo-
tion to have the senate recede from so
much of its sugar amendment as provided
a duty of one-eighth of a cent per pound
on refined sugar. Accordingly Mr. Vilas
was appealed to by a large number of
democratic senators to relieve the senate
of the embarrassment which the offering
of the motion has caused by not insisting
upon the amendment. This he has decJlned
to do. He said late to-day that he had no
intention of withdrawing it.
"I shall let the motion be decided upon
its merits," he said, "or call the chair to
rule upon it, but 1 shall not withdraw it.
I did not," he continued, "offer the motion
with a view of throwing a bomb and if it
had that effect, it was not the result of my
purpose. I thought I saw an opportunity
to compromise the differences existing be-
tween the senate and house and made the
motion with that end in view. It has
seemed to me that this differential dutv is
the vital spot of the differences between
the two houses of congress, and I btiieve
that if it could be gotten rid of the two
bodies could easily compose their differ-
ences and an agreement be reached upon
the bill."
The senator spent the entire afternoon in
the ollice of the secretary of the senate,
looking up the parliamentary law bearing
upon the question of the admissibility of
an amendment of the character of his forti-
fying himself to resist the point of order
which would la1 made against his motion
that a senate amendment to a bill can not
be entertained under the rules with a bill
in conference. There is vty little doubt
that this point, when in order, will be sus-
tained by the chair.
Senator Harris has said that if he Is in
the chair when the point Is made he will
sustain It. In case of an appeal from the
decision, It lu understood that the repub-
licans will vote with a majority of the
democrats to sustain 'he decision. They
say that while they will vot<- for the orig-
inal motion if put, they will not oppose by
their vot.-s a ruling of tin* chair which thoy
believe will be right. In the event that the
chair Is sustained, h would appear that
there would b«« nothing for the senate to
do but either to give instructions for re-
cession from the entire number of amend-
ments, or to Instruct its conferrees to
stand by the senate bill,
However, there at" mysterious hints of
other means of getting instructions to the
conference on the subject of the differen-
tial duty on sugar. It Is possible that
other expedients will be tried, but what
they may be no one has undertaken to
say.
As a general thing In the senate when
reference Is made to the tariff bill the feel-
ing caused by the president's letter does
nit appeal- to have materially changed
since yesterday. A large majority of the
d. mocratie senators are working hard to
bring about an agreement. It Is even in-
timated that an effort has been made to
bring the president and some of the con-
servative senators together. It does not
appear, however, that the men who are
most largely responsible for the senate bill
in its present shape have so far shown
any disposition to change from their former
exactions, and unless the peacemakers
make rapid headway between this time
and Monday, the prospect is good for tin-
other day of very animated speech-making
In the senate.
INTERVIEW WITH SENATOR HARRIS.
Memphis, Tenn., July 21.—'A special to the
Commercial-Appeal from Washington says:
Senator Harris, being asked to-day as to
the president's position during the senate
tariff bill debate, said: "I had several in-
terviews with the president during the
pendency of the tariff bill in the senate; I
have understood him throughout the sen-
ate's discussion of the bill to prefer a
strictly revenue tariff measure, such, as I
would have preferred myself. When the
bill came 'to the senate the democrats of
the finance committee considered <t and
prepared sundry amendments to the bill.
We ascertained with absolute certainty
that neither the bill as it came from the
houso nor as the finance committee pro-
posed to amend it, could possibly pass the
senate. We, the democratic members of
the committee, set about to ascertain the
ultimatum of the four or five democratic
senators who refused to take the bill as <it
came from the senate committee, and hav-
ing learned from senators the small-
est concession which would secure their
support of the bill, and also having ascer-
tained that when these concessions were
made the bill in that form would be a vast
improvement upon the McKlnley law, we
decided that, as objectionable as were these
concessions, even with them the pending
bill greatly reduced the tariff taxation, and
that we had better accept the bill with
all its objectionable features than to per-
petuate the McKlnley law with its much
higher rates and multiform obnoxious feat-
ures.
"The democrats of the finance committee
reported these concessilons to the demo-
cratic senators in caucus and the reasons
why they had been made, all the democrats
being present except Messrs. Mills and
Irby, and with exception of Mr. Hill the
democratic senators unanimously agreed to
make the concessions and pass the bill.,
These concessions thus agreed upon wqne
incorporated into the bill and tin that JJorm
it passed the senate.
"I had two interviews with the president
since these concessions were agrqeo to and
before the passage of the bill, ,and one in-
terview after the bill had passed and had
gone to the conference committee of both
houses, and my most dCsunct understand-
ing was that while the president regretted,
even as 1 regret, the necessity for making
such concessions, he i thought it wise to
pass the bill and so advised, inasmuch as
it materially rejoiced the rates of tariff
taxation imposed 'by the existing laws."
Referring to Senatons Caffery and Blan-
chard, who,tyre demanding further conces-
sions and threatening to defeat the bill If
they are not granted, Senator Harris said
emphatically: "They have secured their
utmost limit. If they persist in thdlr de-
mands they will be the sufferers. While
they might delay the final passage of the
bill thereby, they can not defeat it; for as1
certain as they pursue this course, that
certain will they lose their differential
sugar bounty altogether. The finance com-
mittee will now tight it out on this line if
the present session is prolonged indefin-
itely."
MEDALS tVWAR'DED.
Washington, July 21.— Medalsi of honor

MOTS PARIDON.
Washington, July 21.—[Special.1—The ap-
plication for the pardon of McCoy, who
was sent to the penitentiary for partici-
pating in the wreck of the bank at Temple,
went over to -the white house to-day from
the department of justice. They have been
delayed in the said department awaiting
the recommendations of the judge and
district attorney who tried and convicted
him. The department refuses to state what
the recommendations of the two officers
are, but it is understood that they make
recommendations for pardon, but they are
not strong.
THE BRAZOS AJNID TRI'XITY.
Washington, July 21.—[Special.]—Senator
Coke and Congressmen Pendleton and
Gresham have called on lOhief Engineer
Casey for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not he intended ts recommend
the permanent survey of the Brazos and
Trinity rivers.
'Casey replied that the recommendation
had to come from the secretary of war,
and he had nothing to say about what the
secretary would do. To this Mr. Gresham
replied that the rule in the war depart-
ment was for the secretary to defer to the
views of the chief engineer on such mat-
ters, and he insisted on ascertaining
whether the survey would be made. To
this Casey finally replied that the Brazos
would be recommended for a survey, but
he refused to say what he would do in
regard to the Trinity.
ATTORNEYS DEBARRED.
Washington, July 21.—1The disbarment of
six pension attorneys from practice be-

strong, Xenla, Ohio; A. S. Posey, Viek»-
burg, Miss.; Thomas OaldiwelH, Chetopa,
Kan., and B. P. Brown, Pittsburg, Pa.

gal fees from claimants. Armstrong is
charged with circulating false statements
about the pension rules and the adjudica
tion of pension claims, and reflecting on
the present administration of the pension
bureau.

Washington, July 21.—Cadet Albert S.
(Brooks, second class, United States military
academy, was convicted recently by court
martial oif conduct to the prejudice of

BASEBALL BREVITIES.
'Boston and Philadelphia 'have not been
shut out once this season.
John aiarkson has been released by
Cleveland and signed toy Baltimore.
Red Bhret has at last made a run. It
was scored in the PittSburg-New York
game on Jul? 13.
Dahlen, the Chicago third baseman, has
a record of Ave home runs in four consec
utlve games this season.
Adrian Anson 'is putting up as good a
game, both In batting and fielding, this
year as any man in the league.
''Farmer" Weaver has been doing good
catching for Louisville, and notwithstand-
ing this fact, he has been given his no
tlce of release.
Herman Long, the noted shortstop lor
Boston, has struck out but once on the
road this season. 'He also leads the league
in runs scored.
The batting of Hugh Duffy, Boston's
great outfielder, on the late western trip
of the champions, was never equalled toy
any other league player.
Rusie never ripens till the dog days
come along, and In. that respect he re-
stimbles a watermelon. The ibis New York
pitcher is now at his best.
According to 'Western oritlcs the New
Yorks are aggressive, no'lsy and ready to
fight on any provocation; in fact, quite
different from last year's team.
Gaffney, the "king of umpires," has been
notified by President Young of the Na-
tional league that his next drunken sipree
will end his career as a league umpire for.
ever.
The New Yorks won eleven straight
games before dropping one. That is the
record for the season away from home,
and is one that is seldom made in any
year.
The Philadelphia Siporting Li'fe says that
it is reported 'from Louisville that the
management of that club received an offer
of $18,000 from New York for the release
of Pfeffer, Tom Brown, Grim, Danny Rich-
ardson and Pitcher Clark.
To Pitcher Fox of the Pottsvllles, of the
Pennsylvania league, belongs the credit of
being the first and only pitcher in the
country in this year of grace to shut out
an opposing team without a hit in a full
game. He did this to IlarriSburg, Jack
Huston's great team. July 12. The -feat
has been accomplished but twice since
the pitching distance was Increased, Hawke
of ila'ltiimure being the other pitcher to
turn the trick. He did it against Wash-
ington last year.
One of the imost disgraceful scenes ever
witnessed at a ball game took place in
the "City at Brotherly LoVe," Philadelphia,
during the Boston-Philadelphia game lust
Tuesday, July 17. In the first half of the
eighth inning the score was 2 to 1 in fa-
vor of Boston. The Phillies then fell upon
Kostoti's pitcher and knocked out seven
runs. As rain threatened, the Bostons
attempted by all the means in their power
to delay the game. The bleachers, who haJ
become wild at the dilatory tactics, 'burst
into the field and surrounded the Boston
players. Tucker, the first baseman, was
badly injured, having one of Ills cheek
bones broken, while Captain Nash, Duffy
and McCarthy were not so badly used.
The police had a hard struggle to get the
players back to their hotel alive. The
hack conveying *'!:« men, guarded as it was
by police, wa'; surrounded by the mob
throwing stor s. It is estimated that fully
3'»'l men too', part in the brutal and cow-
ardly work
the officer had no sooner locked him up
■thun he was out looking for the accom-
plice. Near town he caught Antonio Lopez
with two horse* and locked him up too.
