Washington, May 8.—[Special.]—The Chi-
nese treaty still stand? as an obstacle to
the rapid transit of the tariff bill in the
senate, and the democratic managers are
now planning to dispose of the treaty at
the earliest possible date so that they can
push ahead with the tariff without inter-
ruption. They see that an element of the
republicans is still bent upon consuming
time, despite the assurances of A'ldrlch,
so long as they can take advantage of any
pretext to do so.
Senator Hoar read a long speech against
tariff legislation to empty seats to-day.
The speech was characteristic of the Mas-
sachusetts senator. It was a harangue in
behalf of protection with scoldings at tho
democrats interwoven.
When Senator Hoar got through Mr.
Quay took the floor and went on with the
sixth installment of his speech, begun
some days ago. As before his speech con-
sisted largely of census reports and other
public documents. This conduct of Senator
Hoar and Senator Quay angered the demo-
crats, who realized that the republicans
intend to avail themselves of every oppor-
tunity to delay proceedings.
Senators Gorman, Harris and Jones and
several other democrats held a confer-
ence to determine upon the best means of
shutting off this tiresome republican de-
bate. It was decided to hasten the con-
clusion of the Chinese treaty, and with that
out of the way to insist upon a more rapid
consideration of the tariff bill.
Senator Harris will ask to extend the
daily sessions, and If this be objected to
by the republicans he will move for the
extension. This motion must be submitted
and the democrats, with their forty-four
votes, are certain to carry it.
Meantime, iMr. Aldrleh is endeavoring to
persuade Mr. Hoar, Mr. Lndgo and Mr.
Quay to cease their interminable reading
of printed documents under the guise of
a tariff speech, and meet the democrats half
way In .-\>me proposition for consideration
of the bill. The democrats are about mad
enough to force night sessi'onn; the re-
publicans are anxious to avoid these, as
Messrs. Morrill, .Sherman and Hoar, three
of their leading men, say they are too old
•to stand night sessions. The democrats
are not in a mood to «tand any trilling;
ithey have 44 Votes ready to sustain any
policy the managers may recommend, and
can therefore force the tedious Inconven-
ience of night sessions upon the republi-
cans.
There is open discontent among the dem-
ocrats at the new tariff bill as created
by the numerous amendments adopted by
the committee on revision, but it lis not of a
nature to threaten any rupture.
The more extreme reformers are not
pleased at the protective features of the
amendments, but bt 1s freely admitted that
no stronger bill couid be got through the
senate. This modified bill Is aocented as
preferable to a total failure of tariff legis-
lation.
Democrats of the house* who supported
the Wilson bill have indulged in many crit-
icisms of the measure as finally shaped by
ithe senate managers, 'but they are fast be-
coming reconciled. They have been assured
by leading senators that they must take
the new bill or none; that there are demo-
cratic senators who would go to the ex-
treme of defeating all tariff legislation
rather than let the Wilson bill become a
Jaw. This aspect or the ease is now the
prevailing one with democrats of both
(houses.
•A senator informed me to-night that the
Chinese treaty would not constitute a real
dbstacle to the tariff bill any longer. He
said that one more hour's consideration
of the treaty would dispose of it. and that
It might be done to-morrow. This senator
Is a democrat, and from the Pacific coast.
(He thinks the treaty will be ratified and
thus got out of the way.
From all indications it seems fair to
state that the tariff legislation will be
substantially the bill now before the .son-
ata as amended. Tt is not unlikely that
t1he bill will now be sent to the conference
at all; that to dispose of It and send it to
Jhe president as soon as possible, the
(house may promptly concur In the senate
amendments and then th.- bill would im-
mediately go to the president for his ap-
proval and congress would adjourn, per-
haps during the latter davs of July.
Senator Hill said to-day that the admin-
istration was planning to thrust him out-
side the democratic party, but the scheme
would not succeed. If this means anv-
tning-, it means that he contemplates vot-
ing for the tariff bill. He is sore against
Mr. Gorman. He says Mr. Gorman as-
sured him he would be sustained in his
^rijrt to secure adequate protection for
'American industries, and that the next he
knew;. Mr. Gorman was laboring to unite
Jhe ln su,PP "'t of the bill which
9ie [Hbl] had contemned in his >>■, >1
•Mr. Hill is planning to get even with
'.Mr. Gorman by offering an amendment
to put eoal on the free list.
One of the most active democratic man-
agera said to-night that lie did not believe
lA.dricn wan sincere in professing a willing-
ness to enter into an agreement for th.
rapid consul,'ration of the tariff bill Till*
(senator added: "If the republicans persist
In harassing us with their contemptible
ipo.icy of de.ay I am In favor of changing
the rules s.i as to curtail debate."
The feeling is growing so intense on this
subject t'hut it need not he surprsin" if <'i
proposal to amend the rules should be seri-
ously taken up by the democrats. They re-
alise that they can not trifle with the pub-
lic demand for prompt action much longer:
that it would be better t,i override sena-
torial precedent than to defy public opinion.
TO LIMIT llHMi'H AUTHORITY.
Washington. May S.-iRepresetitatlve Ter-
ry of Arkansas, who, with Representatives
Boatner and \V. A. Stone, lias been investi-
gating Judge Jenkins' anti-strike injunction,
has prepared a bill designed to reform the
practice by whioh federal courts are prac-
ticably engaging In the railroad business
through the appointment of receivers. Most
of the subsidy roads of the west are in the
hands of receivers, appointed by federal
counts. Tihe courts thus secure absolute au-
thority over railroads, ami as the receiver-
ships run from year to year, the courts
succeed the railroad officials in conducting
th« roadu.
Mr Terry's bill will attempt to put a
.italt to ttoew rati road receiverships in or-
der to avoid the charge tha.t the courts
are groing Into the railroad business. It is
said that not on'ly is nhe time of the federal
courts consumed and their functions divert-
ed by this practice, but many inoldenta'l
a/buses have sprung: up.

off aill cuiwiit debts for supplies, repair^

CURRENT OPINIONS.
Washington, May 8.—Leading senators
were chary to-day about expressing them-
selves upon the subject of the revised
tariff bill. Senator Mcpherson would not
talk, saying he had not read the bill with
sufficient care to justify a statement for
publication.
Senator Hill did not claim not to have
read the bill, but he said that he had nuth-
ing to say on the subject beyond what he
had previously said, and he indicated that
he did not consider a bill acceptable as
long as it should contain any provisions
for an income tax.
Senator Jones said he believed the bill
would pass by democratic votes and that it
would be sent back to the house sooner
than most people believed, and that the
finance committee had every confidence in
its passage.
Senator Smith said: ''I am not entirely
reconciled to the income tax."
Senator Faulkner contented himself with
expressing confidence in the work of the
tariff committee and in saying that lie
believed the bill would pass.
Senator Cockrell said that he thought
the bill, when .perfected, would be one of
the best tariff bills the country had ever
had. He thought the bill would pass the
senate.
The republicans were not so well pleased
with it. Senator Dubois characterized it
as a protective bill in spots and said there
was only one of two courses for the repub-
licans to pursue, to either let the bill pass
after a businesslike discussion of its pro-
visions or to stand it off until March 4
next.
•Senator Piatt said: "If the WKson bill
has been called an mboanlnatlon thks should
be called a bi-H o-f shame. If it had not
been for the poiwer of the sugar trust it is
doubtful to my mind iif there would have
been a slngile prctecflive duty in the bill;
but even the democratic members of the
linance committee could scarcely give the
sugar trust the duties which would enable
it to make more money than under the Mc-
Ivlri'ley Iojw, and withhold .the semblance of
protection from all other Industries. It is
a U'.M without principle, pressed by a party
■without a policy."
Senators Mills, Horry and Faulkner con-
ferred with house members during tho day
concerning the tariff situation. The feeling
of opposition to .t'he amendments was very
marked among democratic members, as
they regarded the ohangos as a step toward
protection and as a retreat from the reve-
nue reform lines of the Wilson bill.
Mr. Montgomery of Kentucky, a member
af the ways and moans committee, said
that tihe amendments looked Like a move
for the worse ail along the line, and im-
pressed him as being In the line of protec-
tion.
on the republican side of the house there
was much sarcastic comment. Mr. Payne
of the ways and means committee said
the changes gave proteotion in spots. Mr.
Payne cited as an illustration that tannic
acid had by some means .secured a rate «if
75 cents per pound, wihioh was equal to 181
per cent proteotion.
Senator Aldrleh: "Every schedule except
those 'bearing on woods and spirits, and
almost every paragraph of the bill as re-
ported from the committee originally has
been amended by providing an Increase
of duties, ranging from 10 to 30U per cent,
a he new rates evidently have been pro-
loosed to answer the demands of demo-
cratic senators who were dissatisfied with
the original bill. The increase in rates
s unequal, and they resuk in a bill less
'harmonious and ies»s just in Its provisions
than that originally reported to the senate.
Some large industries have received no
recognition."
"The trusts, which simply had their fin-
gers in the first edition, have put their
arms up to the shoulder blades into this
fourth edition of t'he tariff reform," said
.Senator Hansbrough, "and we are told
that there may be another edition. Haw
wool, I notice, is still on the free list.
1 he sugar trust lias been given about half
■a cent per pound advantage over the for-
eign reiiner, while the humble sheep rais-
ers on American farms are left to compete
o.n an equality with the Australian wooJ
raiser. Along with this wicked discrimina-
tion against one ciass of producers the
rates upon manufactured wool are ad-
vanced.

ASKS NO FTR'TIHEIR FAVORS.
Washington, May 8.—[•flpdctaul.]—In view
of the many applications for the possible
vacancy on the bemsh of the district court
of appeals, to come about by the possible
resignation .if Mr. Justice Seth Shepard,
and the publication in Texas that he is
committed to the candidacy of Mr. Winter,
Senator Mills requests the announcement
that he is not committed to any one for
any of lice and has fully made up his mind
not to ask tihe present administration for
any further like favors.
•the close of his speech Mi-. Hoar succeeded
in arousing the ire of Senator Gray of
Delaware, lie was talking about the meth-
ods by the so-called conservative demo-
cratic senators to secure concessions in the
form of higher duties, and concluded his
statement by declaring that democratic
senators who would support the compro-
mise bill agreed upon by the democratic
caucus would violate the constitution and
their oath.
This statement brought Mr. Gray to his
feet. He demanded what t'he Massachu-
setts senator meant by such a charge—u
charge, lie said, wh\'ii was unwortliv of
Mr. Hoar.
Mr. Hoar waved the Delaware senator
asiMe He would refuse to yield to him, he
said, but Mr. Gray was not to be put off.
His cheek was flaming and he insisted
upon an explanation.
"Very well," said Mr. Hoar. "1 can not
be Intimidated by a little bluster, but (I
will explain. I mean to say that for a
democratic -senator, who subscribed to the
doctrine of the Chicago platform, that a
tariff tor protection was robbery; who
went to the people alllrming his allegiance
to that platform, and who now com s,here
se^k.ng and obtaining protective duties I
mean to say that for such senator th^re
lL2? £®oaPe from the logic that he violate*
both his senatorial oath and the constitu-
tion!"
Senator Qray made an effort t'o reply,
out iAlr. Hoar refused to be Interrupted,
whereupon Mr. Gray called liini to order
ana asked a ruling upon his point that such
language as the Massachusetts senator
naa used was unparliamentary.
Mr. Gallinger, who wa« in the chair,
overruled the point of order. Mr. Grav
could then do nothing but sit down and
wait in a few minutes Mr. iH'oar com-
pleted his speech.
<3-ray arose. His anger had now
subsided. This wag the sixth week of the
rar.it debate, he began. If there was any

SE'NATE,
Washington, May 8.—There
of an electrical display in the
that body met to-day. Th
were active and disposed to ask some em-
barrassing questions concerning the "com-
promise amendments" offered to 'the tariff
bill yesterday.
Mr. Quay demanded the presence of a
quorum before the Journal was read. Some
routine business then intervened.
The credentials of Senator-elect Gear of
Iowa were presented by Mr. Allison. Mr.
Hoax questioned the form of the certifi-
cate—a certificate of the speaker of Mie
Iowa house and tile president of the Iowa
^dflce of protection, this deba.te hud sup
piled it. Every attempt to approach the
monstrous aggregation of folly and greed
known us the McKinley bill had been met
by those who raised a clamor aibout the
interests of the people and bv the greed
of corporations. The culmination of Mc-
Kin.oyism is characterized in tills debate
by the wild statements and assertions of
the advocates of the system that had
wrought go much ruin to the country.
1 hey threw aside ail restraints of speeoh
and dealt in the rhetoric of the slums,
they OH'St. their foul aspersions on thos*i
who sought to do their duty to ,their coun-
try and their party.
To-day In the speech of the senator from
•Massachusetts the decorum of U, hate had
been violated, but the language he had
Indulged ln only stiowed the straits to
which he had been -put.
Wr. Hoar's temper was seemlnglv un-
rullled when he replied in a feiw words to
what Mr. Gray had said. He said that
the senajtor from Delaware had been too
severe in his condemnation of the McKlnley
iaw w'hen he stood on tills floor advocating
a measure dotted and crowded all over
with protection. If protection was uncon-
stitutional and a robbery, this was a
wicked thing to do. Why did he not tell
t'he senate in extenuation of his course
why he had put a protective duty on
sugar?
"1 do not propose to put a protective
duty on sugar," ejaculated .Mr. Gray from
his seat.
"Can the senator not understand the dif-
ference 'between a protective and a revenue
du tyv"
An audible titter ran around the republi-
can side at this retort.
Mr. Hoar Insisted that the attempt to
sImw that Increases In duties were for
revenue purposes and were not for pro
teeriun was simply an evasion.
When Mr. Hoar took his seat Mr. Palmer
of Illinois feit called upon to defend 'hlm-
se.f from several of the insinuations In Mr
Hoards remarks. As far as he was con-
cerned, he declared, half a loaf was better
than no loaf at all. if he could not get in
a measure framed by the democratic col-
leagues all he desired, he would take what
lie could get. He then branched out in an
effort to show that Coxeyism is a legitimate
outgrowth of the paternalism of protec-
tionism. Those who come to the natlonaJ
legislature asking protection, crying "Help1
Help! Save us or we sink!" were Coxeylte®
in reality.
Mr. Hale of Maine inquired sarcastically
Which bill it was that the senator from
Illinois thought the American people would
approve; the draft first submitted to the
senate, or the bill introduced bv Mr. Voor-
liees; the bill at present before the senate
under the management of Mr. Harris, or
the new bill introduced yesterday. The bill
introduced by Mr, Jones yesterday was no
more like the hill before the senate than
the gavel of the president of the senate was
like an E flat bugle. Its makeup from Its
foundation was entirely different.
Certainly if it was rig'ht to pass any one
of these five bills prepared by the majority
it would not be wrong to pass any one of
the other four. Which bill, he asked, had
received the approbation of the country,
and which part of the country?
Mr. Palmer in response said that he de-
nied that any of the bills framed had re-
ceived rhe indorsement of the countrv.
What he had said was that the country
has overwhelmingly disapproved of the
McKinley bill. As any one of these bills
framed was preferable to that infamous
measure he asserted that any one of them
would meet, to a greater or less extent,
the approbation of the people, If republi-
can senatur? were skeptical, or impatient
on this score, let them wait for the verdict
at the ballot box.
The discussion was closed bv the vener-
able senator from Vermont, Mr. Morrill,
the author of the old war tariff, who, white
haired and bent with age, arose in his
place, a smile playing about the corners of
ills lips. As he had on previous occasions
said something in derogation of the meas-
ure he desired now to say something In
approbation. The 100 amendments to the
tariff bill offered on yesterday, he said
showed that after listening to republican
speeches for six weeks the democrats had
learned something. If the tariff bill were
laid aside for a month, and that month
was devoted to study by his friends on the
other side of the chamber, h,- thought that
at the end of that time they would bring
in a bill which would be perfectly accept-
able to the republican side and which would
pass the senate unanimously. The senate
seemed to enjoy the playful Joke.
When Mr. Morrill took lite seat Senator
Quay appeared from behind his huge pile
of manuscript and resumed the speech he
has been delivering since April 15. No at-
tention was paid to the Pennsylvania sen-
ator, save by the official reporters. He
spoke in a low voice and could not be
heard far from his seat. He completed his
long detailed account of the processes of
mining sugar, and took up the sublect of
wool and woolens, treating it in the same
exhaustive manner ln which he had dealt
with sugar.
Several times during the afternoon a
call of the senate was held upon the sug-
gestion of snme of his republican col-
leagues. These roll calls gave Mr. Quay
the necessary breathing spells.
At 4.43 p. m„ on motion nf Mr. Mills,
the senate went into executive session.
SOUTH CAROLINA Will.SICV TROUBLE.
It. Louis, M.J., May 8.—The South Ca.ro-
Hn'.i dispensary law now gives way to
rigid prohibition. The supreme court so de-
clared to-day in announcing its decision in
a case from Florence asking for an Injunc-
tion to restrain the city council from grant-
ing licenses for selling liquor, on the ground
t'hat there is no law authorizing the
granting thereof.
In its decision the court .says that, un-
der th" law as it now stands, there is no
author.ty Invented with the power to grant
licenses for Hi:1 sale of liquor In this state,
and hence the act of the city council in
granting such licenses Is void, and the
court therefore grants the injunction. The
court also refused a motion fur the dis-
charge of a nun named Hrunson, who was
aT'res'U*! :n Florence foy wjlliniif Jiqu ir
without a license. The court says that the
dispensary act of 1SD2, having .been de-
clared unconstitutional in ail its provis-
ions except that forbidding the granting
ot license to -,*11 liquor alter a certain
date, the repealing clauses of the act must
be regard, d as If never onanted, and hence
the previous law forbidding tlie >sale ot
liquor without a license remained in force.

CHOCTAW TROUBLE.
Gainesville, Tex., May 8— Parties who
arrived here t'hls . morning from Tlsho-
mongo bring intelligence to the effect
that a serious condition of affairs ex-
ists at the Choctaw capital. District
court convened there yesterday with an
unusually large attendance. Cxovernor
Wolfe preferred charges against Judge
Kemp for malfeasance in office, the lat-
ter flatly refusing to recognize the gov-
ernor's authority to remove him and con-
tinued to preside, stating that he was
entitled to do so as he had to be indicted
and convicted before removal.
Judge Kemp then caused the arrest of
Governor Wolfe, charging him with hav
ing embezzled funds of the nation
amounting to between $25,000 and $75,000.
This caused intense excitement to pre-
vail between both factions.
Parties bringing in the Information
left Tishomingo last evening, and stated
that Governor Wolfe, who was a candi-
date for re-election, had withdrawn from
the race in favor of Palmer Mosely,
superintendent of education. Will Iten-
nie, collector of permits, announced as
a candidate.
The friends of ex-Governor Byrd are
up in arms and declare he shall be
elected. Never In the history of the na-
tion has affairs assumed such a critical
phase as at the present time. It is
thought the matter will result ln blood-
shed, and the opening of the country
will be sure to follow.

SPORTING TOPICS.
OFT FOR THE MONEY.
New York, May 8.—Arrangements were
made to-day between Bub Fitzslmmons and
Joe Ohoynski to fight to a finish at catch
weights. There was no trouble in coming
to terms, as both men agreed not to fight
except a reputable club would put up a
purse of $15,000. Fitzslmmons said to the
newspaper men who were present:
"We mean business. We don't talk non-
sense, and the club that puts up the first
purse which we demand will secure our
attendance. Ohoynski and myself are out
for the money, and no matter where the
contest takes place the spectators will be
perfectly satisfied, as they will see a fight
to a finish."
A cablegram was sent immediately to
the National sporting club in London, stat-
ing the terms, and an answer Is expected
here to-morrow. The men say they are
willing to fight anywhere, provided that a
purse of the above sum Is put up.
OUT IN THIRTY SECONDS.

THE PHARMACISTS.
Austin, Tex., May 8.—The fifteenth annual
convention of the State pharmaceutical
association was called to order at 10.50 this
morning by President L. M. Connor of
Dallas at the board of trade hall; and
Mayor McDonald welcomed the delegates
to Austin in a short address.
President Connor of Dallas read his an-
nual address, which was brief and to the
point, stating that the association could
feel gratification at its extensive roll of
membership and that it was yearly receiv-
ing a wider recognition of its influence
among American and foreign pharmacists.
He called attention to t'he fact that nearly
ail the states have laws regulating the
practicing of pharmacy and that the Texas
law on this subject Is sadly in need of re-
pairs. "We want a law," he said, "that
will compel every man who dispenses med-
icine to be thoroughly competent, and let
the test of his ability be a rigid examina-
tion before an able board, regardless of any
diploma he may be so fortunate as to
possess from any college of pharmacy, for
it must be conceded careful counter training
is just as much or even more essential than
the theoretical information which can pos-
sibly be obtained in a course of twice
twenty-six weeks. The present laws for
the protection of pharmacy on the statute
books of Texas are the merest subterfuges
and can not serve any good purpose to the
people for whom they were evidently In-
tended."
After nearly a year of thought on the
subject of national formulary, Mr. Connor
stated that his conclusions were that the
sale being chiefly at the Instance of the
physician the proper course to pursue
would be to thoroughly acquaint the physi-
cian with the many reliable formulas that
so closely approximate the article gener-
ally sold under meaningless titles and
doubtless more skillfully and honestly pre-
pared If made by the home pharmacist,
and that but few ln the medical profession
would no<t gladly aid the pharmacist If
their attention was properly directed to it.
Mr. Connor also recommended the selection
of a permanent place of meeting and the
election of a permanent secretary, stating
that the best results had been obtained
where such a plan had been adopted.
The address was referred to a committee
of three, after which delegates from the
Austin, Galveston and Dallas pharmaceuti-
cal associations were seated, the applica-
tions for membership of Frank U. Ray-
mond of Austin and J. H. Carpenter of
Webbervllle were formally acted upon and
the meeting adjourned until 2 p. m.
At the afternoon session the application
of Charles J. Boichert of Kyle for mem-
bership was received and favorably acted
upon.
The local secretary read his report, which
was referred to a committee of three. The
committee on the president's address rec-
ommended its adoption and advised that
the suggestions therein in reference to the
selection of a permanent place of meeting
be submitted to the convention.
A general discussion of the pharmacy
law was indulged in, but action In re-
gard to securing a remedy for its irregu-
larities was deferred until later in the
session.
The reports of the secretary and treas-
urer were approved by the auditing com-
mittee and adopted by the convention,
after which an adjournment was taken
until to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock.
DIRTY FINANCIAL TRICK.
Austin, Tex., May 8.-There was received
here to-day a circular copy of a dls'patch
sent from Au-stln on May 4 to one of the
New York papers, reciting In exaggerated
terms the troubles of the state treasury.
This circular is being distributed aiming
New York investors, and among o'fcher pal-
pable misstatements asserts that the state
will default on the interest of some $4,000,-
000 of bonds outstanding. There Is no such
amount of state bonds afloat, and what
little interest the state owes in New York
will be paid when due on July 1.
Treasurer Wbntham cha,rai4tieri3ces this
report as malicious and totally untrue, and
states that there is not the remotest possi-
bility of the state defaulting on what li'ttle
Interest it owes, as the general revenue
deficiency In no way affects the interest
and other funds. What few state bonds
are outstanding are quoted at 115, and
none on the market.

US'ED THEIR AXE.
Chicago, 'III., May 8.—The Western freight
association went at rates to-day with an
axe, and by the time they had finished their
work there was not much j«ft of the rates
between Chicago and the Missouri river and
between the Mississippi river and the Mis-
souri, the reduction being 50 per cent of the
rates in effect yesterday. The cause of the
reduction Is said to be the Missouri Pacific
road, which some time ago declined to
enter into the agreement of the other lines
to maintain rates, and, it Is claimed, has
Pee" eutting rates without regard to tariffs
In effect on the lines of the Western freight
association. The present reductions are
made with the hope of bringing the Mis-
souri Pacific to time and compelling it to
maintain rates. The rates put into effect
.2"^d;iy apply not only between Chicago and
the Missouri river, but from all points on
the Mississippi river to all points on the
Missouri river as well. Chairman Caldwell
of the Western passenger association has
called a meeting for to-morrow to see what
can be done with the present rate trouble
In his territory, as It is difficult to see how
a war in rates can be avoided.
The Ohio river lines held a meeting to-
day to complete the organization of their
association, but did not make much prog-
ress, and will meet again later In the week.
