Republican Members OF the senate Finance
Committee Will Submit One.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-There was o very
important conference between the Repub-
ican members of the Senate committee on
finance the other day which has escaped
the attention of the news-gatherers here.
1t was held for the purpose of reaching
some agreement as to the policy to be pur-
sued with regard to Mr. Blaine's PROPOSE
tion to amend the sugar section of the tar
iff bill so as to enable the President to nego-
tiate reciprocity treaties.
The Hon. John w. Foster, who has been
minister to Mexico. Russia and Spain, and
negotiated the reciprocity treaties with the
latter country in 1884, was present by invi-
tation. and gave his views at great length.
Mr.. Foster expressed the most profound
confidence that it would be an easy matter
to secure a renewal of that treaty
and the free entry of our food
products into the Spanish colonies,
which consume from fifteen TO eighteen
million dollars worth of breadstuffs,
provisions and similar articles, even under
the present high rates of taxation. Mr..
Foster was of the opinion that this amount
could be very nearly doubled by securing
the removal OF the high duty that existed
at present, for flour, as an example, is taxed
at the rate of $3.50 barrel. and other mer-
chandise In the same proportion.
There was a general agreement among
the members of the committee as to the
propriety and necessity of including such
proposition as Mr.. Blaine had suggested in
the tariff bill, although the venerable Sem
ator Morrill,, of Vermont, the chairman of
the committee. was very obstinate in his
opposition. He refused not only to favor
such an amendment. but declared his in
into the Senate. 1t was decIded that Mr..
Aldrich should. with the assistance of Mr..
Foster, frame q substitute for the Hale and
Pierce amendments and submit it to his
fellow members os the committee before
the sugar schedule of the tariff bill is
reached. 1t is probable, however. that the
committee will think best to submit the
matter to the consideration of the Repub-
ican caucus before iJ is decided upon.

Lottery Company Using Money and Threats
to Defeat Adverse Legislation.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The lottery CON-
pany is showing its teeth. 1t has begun to
strike back. 1t threatens vengeance in
various ways upon those who oppose it.
The men in Congress it cannot control it
will try to intimidate. Thomas Brough. of
North Dakota, who was q bitter opponent
of the lottery when it tried to get charter
in his State. says he was defeated for re-
nomination by the use of its money. The
gentleman nominated to succeed HIM prob
ably is not aware of this fact. Other men,
bers are to be defeated for renomiDation
for election because they have opposed the
lottery. The company threatened to con-
troll the next House as they did the Louis
lana Legislature.
This gigantic octopus has flooded WASH
ington with detectives, plug-uglies and
lobbyists for the purpose of using money,
and strategy. and brute force to prevent tho
consideration of the anti bill in the House,
and its influence is being felt. Despite the
fact that over one hundred members have
petltioned the House committee on rules
for day to consider the bill. some members
who have heretofore been working for the
measure are out of the city or silent. Two
well-known newspaper correspondent who
have been demanding in their dispatches,
q hearing for the Illbave been bounded by
detectives and threatened with personal
violence. 1t is becoming dangerous, pOllti-
calIy and physically, to oppose this gigantic
evil.
But should the bill be given hearing
and passed, the members who are absent
from the city when it comes mp. vote
against it, will be asked to explain their
actions Money from the lottery is flowing
like water and scoundrelism is becoming
common to defeat the anti-l0ttery bill. IL
is time for the people at large to speak on
the subject.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The conference
report on the fortifcation bill was taken
up for consideration in the Senate to-day.
After discussion, the report was agreed to.
The conference report on the sundry civil
appropriation bill was then taken up, and
the action of the conference committee on
the subject of the bridge and viaduct at
Rock Island declining to require the
municipality to share the expense and own
ership) was criticised and condemned by
Mr. Edmunds. who contrasted that liber-
ality of the committee with its meanness
and parsimony In refusing to the widow of
a dead Chief-justice the balance of his
years salary. Mr.. Sherman expressed his
regret at the striking ont of the items for
the families of deceased members, and of
the late Chief-ju Waite. He would
himself vote for a law, general in its char
acter. giving to the family OF every officer
of the government who died in harness the
balance of his pay during the calendar
year. As TO the item for the bridge and
viaduct at Rock Island. he thought that.
on the whole, the action OF the conferees
was right.
Mr.. Plumb expressed his own satisfaction
that the item as to Mrs. Waite had been
struck out of the bill. because he did not

hoped that the action of the conference

definite appropriations and cutting down
