quay HOT AT BAYNH.
The Latter's Withdrawal Looked Upor
as in Bad Faith.

Inc Letter'S Withdrawal Looked Upon
as in Bad Faith.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Senator Quay Is
back again, looking very fresh, vigorous
and sunburned after his fishing trip. He
had the pleasure this morning of congratu-
lating his son Dick on his success in his leg
islative race, and the pain of reprimanding
his former lieutenant. Tom Rayne, for his
remarkable performance in his nominating
convention. Ii Is understood that Senator
Quay questioned Representative Bayne very
sharply, and that Representative Bayne had
no better reason to give Senator Quay than
he had already given to the public.
WHAT HURTS QUAY MOST.
What nettles Senator Quay is that Repre-
sentative Bayne should have deceived him.
RepresenativeBayneg gave him to understand
that he was going to run for reelection,
and Senator Quay supported him, through
his friends, most valiantly on that theory.
Then to have Representative Bayne sud
denly go back on him without any reason
able excuse was more than Senator Quay
could stand. 1t is reported that the senator
gave the representative piece of his mind
in his most emphatic style, and that Repre-
sentative Bayne foreswore his allegiance
then and there, but the probability is that
Senator Qday will forgive Representative
Bayne If he finds that Representative Bayne
can be useful to him yet in nominating and
electing Delamater, which Senator Quay
seems determined to do. Senator Quay has
not finally abandoned his attempt to make
ex-State Treasurer Bailey Canaday's
successor as sergeaut-at-arms of the Senate,
and will formally present his name to the re-
publican senatorial caucus to be held next
week. The chances are all in favor of a
western candidate, unless Charles B. Reed
of Maine, the man who ought to be pro-
NOTED to this place, shall be elected.

WORK ON THE TARIFF.
The Republicans of the Finance Com
mittee Finish Two Schedules.

The Republicans of the Finance Com
mittee Finish Two Schedules.
WASHINGTON, June 6.--Work on the
tariff bill was resumed to-day by the repub-
lican members of the Senate finance COM
mittee, and when recess was taken at /: 80
o'clock it was ANNOUNCED that the schedules
including chemicals. oils and paints and
earthenware, china and glassware had been
completed, and that copies OF them would
be ready for the consideration of the DEM
ocratic members of the committee
tomorrow morning. This afternoon
the metals schedule was taken up
with view to completing it before pro-
ceeding to discuss the other sections Of the
bill. IL is believed that none of the changes
so far are radical in their nature or extent
IL is known that the reductions of duty
made in the two schedules are more numer-
Gus than the increases. The details are well
guarded by the members OF the committee
Before the committee formally began
work to-day Representative Farquhar
moved an amendment In behalf of the
malsters Of Oswego. They want a lreduc-
tion Of the dutyion barley from 305cents a
bushel, as proposed in the Mckinley bill,
to Is cents a bushel, which is 5 cents more
than the present rate.
During the afternoon the subcommittee
finished not only the metals schedule, but
the wood schedule as well. IL is said that
copies Of these also will be given the demo-
cratic members of the committee to-mor-
row.

in the prices Of farm products. He argued
that universal distress throughout christen-
dom showed universal cause, which could
only be found in the demonetizauon Of
silver both in America and Europe, and
that as consequence the true remedy was
In free coinage. and when the United States
adopted system OF free coinage the con-
tinental nations of Europe would follow its
example.
WALL STREET IN POWER.
Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama asserted that.
except In the money centers there was sut-
fering and distress all over our land; that
for twenty-five years the financial questions
had been controlled in congress in congress
by Wall street in a manner destructive to
the rights and prosperity of the people at
large. In 1869 congress enacted a law
which required the payment of cur
rency bonds in coin, which robbed the peo-
pie of nearly s., ,000, 900. 900. Congress then
provided that 4 per cent. and Al per cent.
bonds should be paid in coin, and the mo-
ment silver fell so as to be relatively less
valuable than gold they demonetized silver,
SO as to compel the people to pay the bonds
in the dearest metal. The bill being con-
sidered is q sham and fraud. 1t is q
shameful surrender OF the rights of the
people to Wall street, and the Republican
party viii be held responsible for it. Zap
plausa1
The other speakers were Messrs. Parrett
OF Indiana, bi-metalist; Ellis of Kentucky,
who held that the pending bill as conn.,
pletely demonetized SILVER as did the law
of 1873; Burton of Ohio, Lane of Illinois,
Shively of Indiana, Wickham of Ohio,
Montgomery of Kentucky, Holman, Heard
and others.
The House at II o'clock adjourned until
IL O'Clock tomorrow morning.
sILVERS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
The national executive silver committee
to-day adopted resolution to the effect
that in case satisfactory measure for the
full restoration to its former place as a
money metal be not enacted, it will call a
national silver convention, in which the
farmers alliance and all other industrial
organizations will be invited to join the
bi-metalists everywhere, with view to
sinking politics and making the silver ques-
ton controlling issue in future campaigns,
particularly In the congressional districts in
the next election, and advise that nobody
be supported for congress or the presidency
who Is not in favor OF such full restoration.
The committee regard with unalterable dis
favor any bullion redemption provision.

COATLESS AND CUFFLESS.
WALKER wADES INTO SILVER IN
HIS SHIRT SLEEVES.

he Was Cool When He Started In,
but the Heat and His Excitement
Finally Got the Better of Him-The
Dignity of the House Outraged.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-For the first time
in the history of the House of Representa-
tiyes, member to-day took off his coat and
his cuffs while he was making a speech.
Strange to say, it was Mr.. Joseph H.
Walker, a republican representative of the
cultured state of Massachusetts. Unlike
manv Of his colleagues. Mr. Walker has not
exchanged his old-fashioned black broad
cloth winter coat for flannel or pongee
since hot weather came in, SO he felt the
heat all the more intensely. When he
started in to oppose the free silver men, he
was comparatively cool, but speaking earn
estly. as is his way, and being badgered by
sharp questions from his opponents. he got
excited and hot.
MAKING A SHOW OF HIMSELF.
Once he said: 81 defy any business man
in this hall to deny this proposition. -
Thereupon quiet Mr.. Lind Of Minnesota, a
republican, got up and said: "I deny it, and
can prove that il is fallacious"
"Oh," said MIR. Walker, waving his hand
contemptucusly, "you are not a business
man."
A little later on Mr.. Payson of Illinois,
one of the republican leaders, interrupted
TO ask a question, when Mr.. Walker said
"Oh, you are the fellow who said in the
caucus the other night you couldn't be
renominated without free silver" which
startled the polite Mr.. Payson so that he
could hardly ask question.
TOOK OFF HIS COAT AND CUFFS.
But the climax was reached when, as he
got hotter and hotter, MIR. Walker stripped
off his long-tailed coat laid it on desk,
took off his cuffs and laid them on top. It
was so funny that the House had to laugh,
but on second thought the House was
shocked that its dignity should be treated
50 lightly and some very severe comments
were made in conversation on both sides of
the House. Speaker Reed was out at lunch
and Mr.. Walkers colleague, Col. Cogs-
well, was in the chair.
SENT TO HIS SEAT.
He did not feel, of course, that he could
say anything to Mr.. Walker, but when
intimation that Mr.. Walker must put on his
coat or take his seat. Mr.. Walker did not
choose to put on his coat, so he quietly took
his seat
The only other time when member took
off his coat in the House of Representatives
for any purpose was when that picturesque
greenbacker, George w. Jones of Texas,
during the scrimmage between Messrs.
Sparks and Anderson of Iowa, pulled off
his old butternut coat to take part in the
frau

pne hnlRntS OF LABOR.
ST.. PAUL, MINI, June GA special to
the Pioneer Press from Huron, 8. D., says:
1.-THE farmers alliance and Knights OF
Labor closed a three days session this even-
ing. The most important action was
decision to organize a new party. Imme-
diately on the announcement of the vote
the alliance adjourned amid the widest
excitement, and a convention to take
political action was at once organized with
7. w. Cossan OF Potter county
as chairman. The committee on resolutions
reported in favor of woman suffrage, a,
graded service pension, prohibition of the
liquor traffic, tariff for revenue only, and
denouncing the acceptance OF passes by
Legislators and other public officials. The
report was adopted. On suggestion of
President Louok Of the alliance the new
party was named the Independent party
A PLATFORM ADOPTED.
"a platform was adopted, which includes
q state and national declaration of the
principles Of the farmers alliance and in-
dustrial union and the knights of Labors
and demands currency TO be issued by the
general government TO be full legal tender.
to increase in volume with the increase OF
business, and to be issued directly to the
productive industries without the in1
tervention of the banks Of

portation, telegraph and telephone
service at actual cost, and that the goVern|

unlimited coinage of silver; the adoption Of

A NATIONAL ELECTION Law.
Speaker Reed Will Try to Bring Hi

Speaker Reed Will Try to Bring His
Party Into Line.
WASHINGTON. June 6.-Speaker Reed is
going to do for the federal election bill
what he has already done for the silver bill.
AS matter Of fact, the republicans of the
House are farther apart on the election bill
than they were on the silver bill. The
eastern and southern men generally prefer
the Lodge bill, and the western men seem
to prefer the Rowell bill, while there are a
number of both kind who agree with Chair
man Quay that there is no use in passing
any election bill at all
WILL TRY TO WHIP THEM IN.
At the caucus next Tuesday night
Speaker Read will try to get his followers
in line either on one of the bills already
offered, or on substitute which he will
have ready and which is to be a cross be-
tween the Lodge and the Rowell bills. If
he fails in the caucus, as he did on the
silver question, he will, nevertheless.
succeed as he did with the silver bill by ex-
erting the powerful influence of his COM
mittee on rules, but the passage of the bill
through the House does not make it certain
that it will pass the Senate, where major-
ity OF the republicans agree with Chairman
Quay, rather than with his colleagues of the
executive committee of the national COM
mittee.
