The National Millers' ASSOCIATE on Cor
responds With Blaine
WASHINGTON, j une 19.-The National Mil
lers' Association, in session at Minneapolis,
has sent to Secretary Blaine the following
telegram: 'It is reported that an additional
duty of so cents per barrel will be imposed
upoh American -four by Cuba on July /.
This would prohibit any possible flour trade
between the United States and Cuba. Mill
ers are consequently agitated, hence your
promp telegraphic reply is earnestly
solicited
Secretary Blaine replied to-day as fol-
lows: I'VE have no official advices at the
state department of so cents additional duty
on -four in Cuba IL levied, it will make
the duty S5 81 per barrel, evidently in
tended to be prohibitOry. The whole sub
ject is within the power and wisdom of
congress. IL has been constantly said
here for the last six months that
the western farmers demand un-
conditional repeal of the sugar duty.
1t is within the power of the western
farmers, by encouraging system of recip-
rocity, to secure, in exchange for the repeal
of this duty, free admission Of their bread
stuffs and provisions into the markets Of
40, 900 of people. including Cuba. In my
opinion this is the most profitable policy for
the western farmer. Free sugar in the
United States should be accompanied by
free breadstuffs and provisions in Spanish

CONSERVATIVES MAPPING.
Storey Abstaine From Speaking and
Precipitates a Vote.

LONDON, June 19.-In the House of Com
mons to-day, on going into committee on
the licensing bill, the chairman put motion
that the first clause, proposing to apply
f350, 900 10 the purchase OF licenses, should
stand as part Of the bill.
Mr.. Storey, who was speaking against tie
clause when the debate was adjourned
Tuesday night, did not rise to resume his
speech, and as no one else spoke the division
was taken, resulting in vote OF 22S for
and 224 against the clause.
The tactics of the opposition In snatchinga
vote while the conservatives were In scanty
attendance surprised the ministerialists,
who remained during the voting In state
of panic, fearing defeat.
AS soon az the figures were announced
there were faint conservative cheers, which
were overwhelmed by the shouts of
triumph from tho opposition.
o'CoNNoR MOVES TO REPORT PROGRESS.
Thomas O'Connor moved to report pro-
gress. He said that the vote just obtained
was equivalent to a decision OF the House
against the bill and that the government
ought to have an opportunity to reconsider
its position
MIR. Smith said that the opposition cer-
tainly had the advantage or a surprise
ministerial cheers Whatever that
amounted TO in the House OF in the country.
the opposition could take the credit of It.
Mr.. Storey, he said, had not finished
his speech when the debate was
adjourned on Tuesday, and the government
had therefore thought he would continue to-
day. The government now simply proposed
to proceed with business In the ordinary
way.
Mr.. Storey said he did not sec why he
was under an obligation to continue his
speech. [Laughter.l Mr.. Smith was never
satisfied. III the speeches wore long
he declared 1t was obstruction. IL
there was no speaking at all.
1t was taking the government by
surprise. [Cheers and laughter The gov
ernment had taken che country by surprise
In producing a licensing bill, and they
would find, before the discussion was over.
that the people of the country would sur
prise them.
Mr.. Gladstone counseled the government
to consider the advisability of Withdrawing
the bill.
Mr.. O'Connor withdrew his motion to
report progress, and the House proceeded to
discuss the second clause of the bill

LEcTuRED BY ARcHBIsHoP WALSH.
Archbishop Walsh has written TO the
Freemdn's Journal Of Dublin, severely
lecturing the absentee Parpellites who saved
the government from defeat yesterday. He
says that unless they can give a satisfac-
tory explanation of their absence he will
find it hard TO place further trut in the
Irish party.
The Chronicle says that tho excuse that
many government members were attending
the Ascot races will not serve TO hide the
fact that the government is discredited and
that the members are indifferent whether IL
is defeated or not.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The democrats
of the Senate finance committee discovered
when they met this afternoon and read
over the majority's tariff bill as it came to.
day from the public printer that the ma,
jority had not kept their promise to supply
the minority with the schedules as they were
agreed upon so that the minority could pre-.
pare their report and their speeches. From
time to time the majority did furnish sched'
ules to the minority, upon which Senator
Carlisle had prepared notes for the
minority report, while other members of
the minority had made notes for speeches,
but they discovered to-day upon reading the
bill that the schedules had all been so altered
that their notes were useless, and they win
have to do all their work over again. Nat
urally they felt some indignation.
Senator Morrill, has made up his mind
that there is no need of any such hurry as
Speaker Reed required in the consideration
of the tariff bill. He may not call 1t up
until week after next, and he does not ex.
pect to get 1t over to the House before the
first Of August.

Water Run Up to Eight.
ST. PAUL, MINI, June ia special to
the Pioneer Press from Huron, s. D.. says:
Additional particulars from Tuesday
nights storm in Potter county are more
painful than first reports. The loss of the
Werger family of five persons and of Mrs
McElery and her two daughters in the flood
that swept down the Little Cheyenne valley
is confirmed, as is also the report of the two
deaths from the cyclone ar..Lebanon. Three
other deaths are reported, but the report has
not yet been confirmed.
CAME WHILE THEY WERE ASLEEP.
"The storm came upon the settlers while
they were asleep, and was very sudden. 1t
seems a miracle that more fatalities did not
occur. In less than an hour after the cloud
burst the Little Cheyenne, which is unusu-
ally shallow and almost dry, raised twenty
five feet and went rushing down the valley,
carrying everything before it. There is
scarcely house left in the path of either
wind or food.
"The loss in live stock is heavy, while.the
damage to crops is very great. II was the
worst storm ever experienced in the state,
and had it passed over thickly settled por-
tion the loss Of life and property would have
been appallingn

How the Democrats Gave the Speaker
the Surprise.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-In the House
this morning, the Journal having been read,
Mr.. Mills of Texas objected to its approval
on the ground that the clerk had not read
1t In full. The speaker suggested that the
clerk had only omitted reading such por-
tons as it is customary not to read, but he
directed full reading of the journal.
The clerk, proceeding, read that portion
OF the journal which discloses reference Of
the silver bill to the committee on coinages
weights and measures. During the reading
Messrs. Mills and Mckinley remained
standing, anxious to claim recognition.
The latter was successful, and he moved
that the journal be approved. Upon this
he demanded the previous question, despite
Mr.. Mills protest that he was entitled to
recognition to move to correct the journal
FALSE RECORD.
Mr.. Springer, rising to q question Of
order, raised the point that the journal con-
tained a record of something which had
never happened and which should not be in
the journal.
The speaker replied that that was for the
House to decide, and he directed the clerk
to call the roll.
The clerk proceeded with this duty
while Mr.. Springer, amid the applause OF
his party colleagues, entered his vigorous
protest, addressing the speaker and saying:
You can ignore the rights of the repre-
sentatives of the people, but the people will
pull you down, sir, at the polls next Novem-
Der, and your party with you" The speaker
was imperturbable, and the roll call con-
tinued.
The previous question was voted down by
IOo yeas to lit nays. The following re-
pubhcans voted with the democrats IN the
negative: Messrs. Bartine, De Haven,
Kelly, Kerr of Iowa, Lind, Morrow, and
townsend of Colorado.
MILLS MOVED TO CORRECT.
When the loud democratic applause ceased,
MIR. Mills was recognized by the speaker.
He offered resolution reclting that the
order of reference made by the speaker re-
1crring the silver bill to the committee on
coinage, weights and measures was incorrect
under the rules of the House, and was made
without authority under the rules, and
resolving that the journal be corrected py

spoke In most enthusiastic terms Of the wis
dom of Lord Salisbury, as shown in the
settlement with Germany of the African
question. BY the agreement between the
two countries 5000 square miles of terri
tory were added to the British possessions
in Africa. Instead of dolorous tirades
against the prime minister, Mr. Stanley
said: "Now Is the time to sing a pecan in
his honor. 1t is now possible to
realize the great dream Of those who are
concerned in the exploration and civiliza-
ton of Africa from the Cape Of Good Hope
to Chari" Mr.. Stanley said that God gave
Lord Salisbury wisdom TO gain this end, and
he expressed the hope that the prime minis
ter might live long and flourish.
The Chronicle. speaking of the East Afri-
can agreement, says that Mr.. Stanley's
fulsome aduletion Of Lord Salisbury, who
puffed his inordinate vanity by securing
two mountains which the explorer has seen,
is no justification for the surrender Of
