A Tariff BIN TO be Prepared az a substi-
tute for the Mills Bill.
copyright 1883, by the ornia -as,ociatsd Pres.
WASHINGTON, May 20th.-The story sent
out that Congressman McKinly had pre-.
pared tariff bill which he would offer as
substitute for the Mills bill tomorrow.
is emphatically denied by that gentleman.
Tonight he said he had not prepared one.
nor did he intend to. "a bill will be pre-
pared" he said, "later on, and suppose /
shall have voice in its general makeup.
as will number OF others. Such is
the decision of those who are shaping
the party policy, as l now understand it.
These stories printed about preparations of
bills to be offered as substitutes for the
Mills bill are entirely premature. The OBJ
ject is to frame bill that can secure the
support OF all the Republicans of the
House. To put such a bill together re-
quires considerable labor, no little part of
which is the consultation by members to
obtain their ideas-or, more truthfully, to
enable US to steer clear of doing ANYTHING
that will be injurious to industries in MEM
bers' districts. No, the matter has not been
taken up IN caucus yet, because the time
has not come when we felt it necessary or
expedlent, but when the proper time ar
rives the bill, think, will be in shape"
Then you do not intend to accept the
proposition made by Mills to abandon the
five minute rule and vote on the bill as it
stands ?''
We'll that matter has not been decided
yet While it has been discussed, and at
length, We have been unable to reach any
decision as to what line of action is best to
pursue for our party. Personally, l do not
think Mills proposition will be accepted.
No, not because of any kickers in the
party, but because there are strong reasons
why the Republicans should not allow it
to go through without full and free dis
cussion. No Republican caucus has been
called yet as far as know, and my under
standing is that we are to hold off and let
the Democrats take the initiative in every
thing, at least for the present"

WASHINGTON, May 20th.-The proposi-
ton of Mills to abandon the fiye-minute
rule and vote on his bill, as it now stands.
is being severely commented upon by the
protection Democrats. Among.them there
is but one verdict, and that is that it is a
most unfair arrangement. The Republi-
cans are fully divided upon it, and as yet
have been unable to come to any agree
ment. Congressman Vance, of Con-
necticut, who is generally credited with
rejecting the views of Mr. Randall and the
protection element of the Democratic party.
said that the acceptance of Mills proposi-
ton to shut off any chance to amend his
bill and vote upon it as it stood meant its
certain defeat. He said to your CORE
spondent tonight:
Such action on the part of the handlers
OF the bill is nothing short of an utter
reckIessness as to consequences. | don't
speak at haphszard when l say that it
would be defeated, for | have personal
knowledge of twelve men, all Democrats,
who would vote against it. All the Con-
necticut members would vote against it, ex-
cept, possibly, French, and l am not count
ing him as one of the twelve, although it
is by no means certain that he could be
whipped into line. -Four men from New
York-ATchie Bliss, Stahlnecker, Merri-
man and one other--would vote against il,
and not voIe would be secured from New
Jersey, while The Representatives of other
tobacco States would prove kickers. OF
course Mr. Randall would vote against the
bill. What Mills and his crowd can be
thinking II 1 don't understand. They
may be able to run politics
that Vay down in Texas, but
they can't handle the New England
men n that way. Mills can't be talked to.
He Lies oil the handle, his hair bristles I'D
aud it is utterly useless to try to reason
with him. You can't say word against
bis bill in any way without he immedi-
ateiy is fight all over. That's no way to
handle men. Here he comes forward with
a bill that places wool on the free list and
asks US to vote for it, and yet is unwilling
to give us a thing in return. Why, he
might as well run his head against stone
wall. We can't vote for it. If we did it
would mean not only defeat for us but de-
feat for the party in November. New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut are mighty
lick lish States, and the passage of the Mills
bill as it now stands, means Democratic
defeat. lell you we can't win on it next

indicate that throughout the Southern
States the weather has been generally fa-
vorable for growing crops, although more
rain is needed. The cool nights have re-
tarded the growth of young cotton. which
is, however, reported in good condition.
In the grain region of the Northwest and
the Ohio valley cold weather during the
week has prevented any marked improve
ment in the crop condition, notwithstand-
ing an abundance of rain in those sections
Damaging frosts occurred from Michigan

from Minnesota state that the weather con-
ditions have generally been favorable for
crops, though too cold for rapid growth.
Reports from Kansas, Nebraska and Mis-

week has been favorable for small grain,
but unfavorable for corn, vegetables and
fruit.

DUBLIN, May 20th.-Six thousand per-

take action on the resolutions ADOPTED by
the Irish Catholic Members of Parliament
with reference to the recent Papal rescript.
There were no priests present. Lord Mayor
Sexton presided, and Messrs. John Dillon,
William OBrien and other Parnellites
made speeches. The manifesto of the
Irish members was indorsed by ACCLAIM
nation. The crowd dispersed in an orderly
manner.
Dillon denied that the rescript was only
moral doctrine. He said that the Vatican
would treat no other country in Europe in
the same way. The Irish would neither
submit nor bow to Rome They would
show the world that they were able to dis
Germ between its spiritual and political do
main.
OBrien said that the present ordeal was
worse than twenty years of Bslfourian CO.
ercion. The Irish had enemies enough
without taking blows from the hands from
which they least deserved them. 1t was
heart-breaking to think that such rescript
in the name of Rome should be thrown
into thestesth of the Irish people. a cour-
ageous, respectful, firm protest was neces-
sary.
