however, IN assuming that the Exc
cutivc was supporting Mckinley.
1t is confidently stated that Harri-
son is in accord with Blaine, and his
Reciprocity Message certainly points
in that direction. However this may
he, Blaine is forcing the fighting
now.
The New York Herald's Wash
ington correspondent asserts that
Secretary Blaine, in an informal
conference with the Senate Appro.
priations Committee, sharply voiced
the sentiment Of the Administration
in opposition to the Mckinley Ia.
riff bill. lie said IN substance that
the bill is an outrage and ought to
be killed by the Senate. The cor
respondent further asserts that Mr..
Blaine said that the men WHO vote
for the bill vote to wreck the Re-
publican party.
This scene is graphically depicted
in the following despatch TO the San
Francisco Examiner:
Washington, June 20.--What was
only known to a few yesterday be-
came very generally known to-day,
and that is that the Administration
has openly arrayed itself against the
passage of the Mckinley tariff bill.
In q written statement intended for
public circulation, Secretary Blaine
necessarily was confined to the pro-
prieties of expression in official life
in giving. utterance to his views,
but in the Senate Appropriations
Committee it is said he waived this
restraint and delivered lecture on
political economy to Allison of Iowa
that was not intended for the eye or
ear of the public
Reference was made to this last
scene in the dispatches to-day, but

account yet published does the mat.
ter justice.
Senator Hale Of Maine, who is on
the committee, said something
which drew out Mr.. Blaine, and he
proceeded in u most impassoned
manner and with much of his old
time eloquence to tell the committee
what, in his judgment, would be tht
effect OF the passage Of the McKin.
ley Tariff bill.
Blackburn, Democratic memhe,
Of the committee, was delighted witt
the tone and views of Blaine, anC
at an opportune moment he is re
ported TO have said:
II wish you were not Mr.. Score.
tary and were in the Senate to raist
your voice against this Mckinley
BILL" to which Blaine replied:
II wish so too. 1t is the mos
dangerous, if not the most infamous
measure that was ever concocted b,
any party. They who vote for thi
bill will wreck the Republican party

At this Senator Allison, will

"You are winking nj Senate
Blackburn across the table and ar
just saying this to please him."
II was winking at Senator Black

was winking at me, but l say sol
EMMY that this Mckinley bill is q,
outrage, and ought to be killed b.
the Senate"
Blaine then finished the remark
he had outlined on the importanc
of the appropriation and retired.
The general accuracy of this mai
ration has not been questioned, al
though several of the -proteo
ZIONIST papers were inclined to thro,
doubt upon it. However, Mr.. Blain
set the matter at rest by semi
authoritative statement which ha
been telegraphed all over the cour
try. This statement is inclosed fo
separate publication. The proteo
ZIONIST organs profess to be Statistic
with this position of Blaine, whic
is only antagonistic to the suga
schedule, but they can take bu
small comfort from this grain G
consolation because Senator Plumb
heretofore one of the leaders of tn
Protectionist party, has denounce
the Mckinley bill as measure il
tended to destroy the foreign con
merce Of the United States, and ha
secured an order by the Senate

it to give a reason in writing fc
every increase it has proposed i
the Tariff schedule. This order
On its face reflection, if not d
rect censure upon the Finance Con
mittee, of which John Sherman
the chairman. This veteran polit
clan is playing for presidential NJ
mination, but so also are Blaine an
Mckinley and several others, an
Sherman's chance of getting up
tariff boom is therefore very slim
The committee obeyed the orde
and made the following report Q
the sugar schedule: "Sugar up
