Thurman's Trip.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Sept. 5.-Thur-
man intended to slip through to New
York without letting the outside world
know his car was attached to a Pennsyl-
vania special, but at Altoona word was
received that a reception would be ten
dered him at Harrisburg. The Judge
passed a pleasant night, though the train
was behind time and ran fast, making
thirty miles in twenty-seven minutes at
one time.
Over 1000 people, headed by the CEN
trail Democratic club, crowded around the
train as it reached the depot and Thur.
man came out and made a brief speech,
commencing the administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland, after which the train
pulled out.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.-The train
reached here at LOO, having been warmly
greeted all along the way. At the Phila-
delphia depot a large crowd gathered and
Thurman answered the cheers in a briei
speech.
At Trenton and Newark large crowds
had gathered to see the old Roman"
At Jersey City a crowd of 1000 blocked
the way and cheered almost continually
as the Judge and his party under the es-
coIt of the reception committee marched
out to the carriages in which they were
taken across the river and to the Fifth
avenue hotel.

president of the United States and the
past would be forgiven. In the course of
his remarks Phelps referred to the declar-
alton by O'Neil of Missouri that the
president S message was a kood can paign
document.
O'Neiu-Don't you think it is?
Phelps-I do, and the gentleman from
Kentucky (Mr. McCreary) said that the
message ought to be kept with the free
trade message.
McCreary-Idid not say that that mes
sage should stand with the free trade mes
sage, for | deny that the president has
sent to congress any free trade message.
Phelps said the gentleman had referred
to the two messages to which he (Mr.
Phelps had alluded that the two mes
sages ought to stand together as Siamese
twins of the presidents policy.
Belmont said the president had bravely
and well performed his duty, to guard and
protect the rights of American citizens,
and to maintain the dignity and honor of
the nation. We are not Democrats nor
Republicans when confronted with the
u%ntriendly acts of foreign powers.
Davis of Massachusetts said the rejected
treaty surrendered the New England fish
erman naked to his enemies 1t was part
uho BdlCSl VI InC lltC lIdut conspiracy
which was inaugurated in the white house
and continued in the house of representa-
tives and sought to PROSTATE an American
industry and %impoverish and degrade
American labor. The u%tterances of the
president in opposition to the entire policy
of his administration would not command
the confidence OF the country. The Irish
class would Indignantly resent the idea
that a sham menace of opposition to
Great Britain and Canada in closing a
career of uninterrupted and shameful sur
render and subserviency to both was ear
nest, and thousands of them had desired
to cast their lot with the Republican
party.
Scott said the United States asked for
nothing but what belonged to it by right
under the treaties, and 1T would accept
nothing less. He had secured official
data to show the number of Canadian and
and American cars and the weight of the.
contents transported in bond from one
point in the United States through Can
ada to another point in the United States
nuring the fiscal year ended June 30,
1887. The gross money values of this
transportation to Canadian railroads was
at a low estimate Sc, ZOO, 900. When it
was considered that the steel rails over
which this immense tonnage was trans
ported in Canada was not subject to a
duty OF SIT per ton, and that the labor
employed in their transportation paid no
taxes into our treasury and did not con-
sumo the products of our farmers, the in
justice to our wage workers would become
apparent. For this injury the Republican
party was responsible.
Pending the conclusion of SCOTS re-
marks the house adjourned.

CONGRESSIONAL.
The Senate Still Discussing
the Chinese Bill.
A Vote Taken, but No Quorum
Present.
In the House Bates Talks of
Adjournment.
In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Stewart Of
fered a resolution for the appointment of
a select committee to investigate the var
ious matters connected with the execution
of laws as to public lands and timber de-
predations. Referred to committee on
contingent expenses.
Sherman offered a resolution which was
adopted requesting the president to in
form the senate whether the recent treaty
with China and the amendments adopted
by the senate had been ratified by the
emperor of China. He added that from
a statement made yesterday and the day
before, it was mauifestly due to the
dignity of the enate and to the regular
and orderly transaction of public affairs,
that the nj should have this informa-
ton from the president before proceeding
further with the Chinese bill. He hoped
the resolution would be transmitted to the
president without delay.
Allison presented the conference report
on the army appropriation bill, showing a
concurrence IN all the amendments except
those in reference to Notifications, etc. A
new conference was ordered.
The senate then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the resolution heretofore
offered by Chandler in relation to the re-
cent election in Louisiana and was ad-
dressed by Pasco. Upon the conclusion
of Senator Pasco's remarks the Chinese
restriction bill was taken up and Mr..
George addressed the senate. He opened
by referring to the criticism of himself
and other former slave holders yesterday
by Teller. He (George) claimed the
right Of free speech and free discussion
as an American senator, and held that
the fact of his having once been a slave
holder should be no impeachment of that
right. Coming to the question of Chinese
immigration George declared that the
Republican party was responsible for the
introduction of Chinese into this country
by the passing of the act of 1862, which
vas aimed merely at the coolie trade and
not at voluntary immigration.
Mitchell questioned the correctness of
Georges construction of the act of 1862
that it was restrictive only of the coolie
trade and claimed that the object of the
law was to prevent the introduction OF
coolies into the United States.
George quoted largely from the speeches
Of distinguished Republicans in the de-
Tense of the admission and of the natural
~ization of Cinnamon, and said: There is a
record which your party has made. 1t
| stands for itself and it cannot be answered
before the American people by the charge
hat the senator who brings it before them
has been a slave holder.
He was interrupted by a long question
from Mitchell, but declined to be diverted
from the line of his argument.
A vote was then taken and was unani-
nous, yeas 30, nays none, but as there
was no quorum present and no probability
of getting one in good time, the senate
adjourned, leaving the Chinese bill undis-
posed of.

Wisconsin Democrats.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 5.-The Demo
cratic state convention was called to order
this afternoon. The platform adopted
endorses the administration of President
Cleveland and the action of the national
Democratic convention in its nominations
and its platform, believes that the people
should insist upon the moderate reduction
OF taxes suggested in the presidents mes
sage, and opposes sumptuary laws as an
unjust abrldgement of the alienable rights
OF the citizen. The Democrats of Wis
consin stand upon these declarations and
invite all voters to cooperate with this
effort to reduce taxation. They especially
invite the aid of the so, 900 majority of
young men in Wisconsin who have be-
COM voters since 1865, and whose futures
were m~ortgaged by war debts to cast their
votes with the party that is dealing with
the present business condition aud not
with a theory or with sentiment or pre-
judice e~ngendered by questions that have
long since been settled.
James Morgan OF Milwaukee was nom
mated tor governor on the first ballot, and
the other nominations were made by ac-
clamation. as follows: Lieutenant gov
ernor, Andrew Kuhl; secretary of state,
A. G. Carson; treasurer, Theo. Kerstein.

AT Washington Territory.

PORTLAND, Sept. 5.-The Democratic
territorial convention, which assembled at
Spokane Falls, W. T.. was called to order
by Hon. John p. Judson of Tacoma, who
was elected temporary chairman. Suisse
quently B. l. S~harpstey of Walla Walla
was elected permanent chairman. The
platform endorses the administration and
the platform of the national Democratic
convention. Then the fishery question,
the Republicans in congress-, the land
question, four or five railroad problems,
such as freight. fares and passes, the
eight hour problem, the annexation prob
lem, the importation of Chinese, the ad-
mission OF the territory to the Union, the
improvement of rivers and harbors and
several other questions were referred to.
The platform was adopted unanimously.
In the nomination OF delegate to con
gress the name of J.. 7. Browne of Spo-
kane was proposed but was withdrawn at
once and Charles S. Voorhees, was pre-.
sented amid great enthusiasm. He was
renominated by reclamation.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-On motion Of
Sayers of Texas the senate amendments
to the fertilization bill we're non-con-
Cured in and a conference ordered.
Stahlnecker of New York, rising to q
question Of privilege, sent to the clerk
desk and had read an article in a news
paper intimating that he was the member
at whom the resolution of inquiry adopted
yesterday on the motion of Kelly OF
Pennsylvania was aimed at. If the reso-
luton, he said, aimed at him, he most
emphaticallY denounced its charges as
false in every particular. He demanded
from the house a speedy and searching
investigation. He would be perfectly
willing to abide by the result regardless Of
party or personal feeling.
Bates, of Alabama, created applause
by the introduction of a concurrent reso-
luton for the final adjournment of con-
gress on the Goth inst, which was referred
to the committee on ways and means,
The committee on appropriation re-
ported a bill appropriating 5000, coo to
suppress the infection in the interstate
commerce Of the United States. Re
ferred to committee of the whole.
The bill to limit the jurisdiction Of the
United States district and circuit courts
was passed, and the bill providing for the
exchange of worn or mutilated subsidiary
coin at coinage value for new and uuworn
coin also passed.
The house then resumed consideration
of the retaliation bill.
Phelps cheerfully conceded the presi-
dent the additional power he asked for,
but regretted that there was no more like
lihood that he would use this power hat
that he would use The power given him
eighteen months ago Nobody supposed
that the powers granted her were not all
that were necessary, until Aug. %, when
the president vent out alone aud shot the
rocket of his presidential message into the
clear and peaceful air. { charged the
president with heapiug favors on Cana
dian shippers by land and sea in order
that they might compete with their Amer
lean rivals. The president was now the
president of the message, not the presi-
| dent of the treaty. He was no longer
! governor general of Canada. He was the

year,, SIT, 600, 900; for 1887, lis, 00O,-
900; for 1888, $l25, 600, 900. The cost of
collection, he said, had largely decreased
under the present administration.
The secretary then compared the naval
administrations under the two parties, the
restoration of lands to the public domain,
and the removal of cattlemen from Okla
homa. Much has been said of private
pension bills and much effort has been
made to maintain a theory of i'll will to
soldiers on the president part because of
his vetoes. Yet already more such bills
have been passed into enacted laws under
him than during the administration of
both Arthur and Hayes and by the end OF
his first term the number will be larger
than during the administrations of Grant,
Hayes and Arthur all together. Another
thing to the credit of Cleveland's admin
istration was the second emancipation of
the colored man. His emancipation from
fear of the Democratic party and the re-
stored dominion of peace and fraternity in
the land.
The speaker then took up the tariff
question, and dwelt upon 1t at great length
to show the dangers and injustice OF a
high protective tariff and the advantages
which would accrue from a reduction in
import charges in the way of an enlarged
trade and the decreased cost of living.
His argument was made mainly from a
farmers standpoint. In closing he paid
a tribute to the personal character of Gen.
Thurman, and eloquently summarized the
traits of character for which President
Cleveland is conspicuous.
