WASHINGTON. July 3O.-Senator Davis OF
Minnesota. called at tho Census office to-day
and again protested against what he believed
to be the wholly uncaled for and indefensible
implication OF corruption and fraud against
the people Of St Paul, contained In the recent
order directing recount OF the population Of
that city.
Superintendent Porter. in speaking OF the
Senator'S several visits. and the probable arri-
val to-day OF a delegation Of citizens OF St.
Paul to further protest against the recount,
said in substance that he would be glad to
meet the gentlemen from St Paul. as 1t would
give him an opportunity to prove to them that
II but half the frauds which had come to his
knowledge had been committed. a recount, in
justice to himself and all others concerned
must be had. 1t has been charged, he said.
that his action In ordering a recount OF st:
been committed in Minneapolis. Nothing
could be further from the truth. The case OF
st Paul had been considered alone. as dozen
other cities had been considered each wholly
independent OF the others. The fact Is
that that IN fifteen districts .u, out Of twenty
dences of fraud. Business men in large
numbers were enumerated at their homes and
again at their business places. In one large
newspaper office ninety-one editors. report
ers. and compositors were enumerated as
dodgers" and many others as servants"
fifteen were returned as having ten mem-
bers each-just ten TALL the schedule would
hold!. Large buildings in different parts Of the
city have been given as the homes Of great
number OF people who never lived there. Mr..
Porter said he regretted the necessity for re-
count OF st. Paul. as he did that OF Mnneapo-
lis. but the evidences OF rank corruption in
padding the population schedules were Of such
a character that there was no other course to
pursue The recount, he said, would proceed
at AN early date.

Board has lapsed in vigilance. and now none
but few Of the most reputable houses hold
licenses. Meantime many saloons and dtsre-
putRDle houses have sprung up.

Seeking to Add Other Than Brazilian
Grades to the Omclnl List.
The Coffee Exchange people had an interest
ing meeting yesterday to discuss the dmis-
sion OF all grades Of coffee to the speculative
arena. At present only Brazil grades are ac-
copied as a good delivery on speculative con-
tracts. 1t is proposed to gamble in all grades
except those from the Congo. By this move
the speculative commodity would be increased
from 100000 to $4,000. 900 bags
The vast majority at yesterdays meeting
favored the change. They believed 1t would
broaden and extend tho influence OF the EX-
change Hermann Sielcken and g. drummer.
representatives Of tho clique that has pract-
cally controlled the prices and management of
the Coffee Exchange for a couple of years, how
ever we're strenuous in their opposition to adj
uniting any but Brazil grades to the specuIa-
tive field. Their opponents, in replying after
ward said that Mr. Sielcken's and Mr. Grunner's
opposition sprung from the fact that they
would find it much more difficult to monkey
with 100000 bags than 4OU0.0O0. Hence their
opposition. The members vote on tho ques-
ton tomorrow.

THE TARIFF BILL sIDETRAcKED.
Republican Senators Agree TO Take Up the
River and HArbor BIIi on Aug. ..

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Much surprise has
been expressed at the action OF the Republican
Senators In agreeing to take up the River and
HRrbor bill for consideration on Friday, Aug.
9. When the Tariff bill was brought into the
Senate 1t was stated with great positlveness
by the Senators in charge OF It that 1t should
be sidetracked for no measure whatever. but
pushed to a speedy conclusion. The day after
this announcement was made q decision was
reached to lay the bill aside for the considera-
ton OF tho River and Harbor bill. The
explanation OF this change Of programme 10
that the Republicans have become somewhat
fearful that they will not be able to secure tho
presence OF majority OF their own party when
the Tariff bill comes to vote. The River and
Harbor bill is to DO used. therefore. as a stool
pigeon to gather in votes for tho tariff meas
ure. Many Senators who are deeply Interested
In securing appropriations for river and har-
Dor improvements in their states are rather
opposed to many OF its provisions. and 1t
was found necessary to conci!iate, them:
do not hesitate to say privately that tho ut
most caution must be exercised to teer 1t
that tho bill is loaded to the guards with high
sss tbsmp Provisions and they are preparing
Northwestern Republioan Senators. They
know they must encounter serious opposition
among their own numbers and they are pro-
Tso up sena,o
the Northwest and who are special champions
OF the Jumbo River and Harbor bill, have been
for some time on the verge of open revolt bp-
cause their bill had been pgeonholed They
became convinced that II tho Tariff and Ap-
ment might be had with their bill hanging in
tho air. and so they demanded that a day be
got apart tor its consideration. In order to
keep these Senators in line and assure their
presence in Washington when vote Is taken
on the Tariff bill their claims were listened to,
Sth inst. and the River and Harbor bill taken
up. 1t Is not known how much time will be re-
quired to dispose OF 1t. but every day that is
consumed In its consideration will lessen the
chances Of the passage OF Federal Elections
bill. The Democrats are pleased at the turn
of affairs and will see 10 1t that tho River
and Harbor bill Is fully debated before being
brought to vote.
