COLORED DEMOCRATS
MEET IN NATIONAL CONVEN.
TION AT INDIANAPOLIS.
President Taylor Asserts That
One-Fifth OF the Negroes Be-
lieve in Grover.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. IA The Ma
tional Colored Democratic league met
in Masonic hall, this city, at noon today.
and will be in session for several days.
A. E. Manning, who is president of the
Indiana branch of the league, opened
the convention with an address of well
come. President G. H. j. Taylor, of
the national league, then deliver ed his
annual address. Between thirty and
thirty-hve states are represented in the
convention. each state being entitled to
two delegates. a committee was ap-
pointed to call OIL Gov. Matthews and
Chairman Taggart, of the Democratic
state committee. and make arrange
ments for the league delegates to attend
the Democratic state convention tomor-
row.
President Taylor said at this conven-
ton a scale would be perfected, by
which the organization would be able
to furnish list of every colored voter
in the UniteI States. There are many
prominent colored men present, among
whom are H. c. Atwood. of New York,
eX-cOnsul general to San Domingo: C..
c. Curtis, of Iowa; E. l.. Dawkins, of
Florida, and L. A. Crostwait, of Tenne-
see.
President Taylor prefaced his speech
by denial of the story printed In a
morning paper creditlng to- MIR. Taylor
the statement that President Cleveland
had not appointed a single colored man
to office without first consulting him
(Taylor).
Continuing, Mr.. Taylor said, that If
the Democratic party would follow
where Cleveland led it, 1t would remain
in power as long as the memory of man
continues. He said that fully one-fifth
OF the negroes of the United States we're
Democrats. de urged that the resolu-
tions adopted by the convention should
condemn lynching. and demanded
disconIinuance of emigration for twenty
years.
A committee was appointed to send a
telegram of congratulation and greeting
to President Cleveland.
During the afternoon the National
Democratic club elected G.. Ii. j. Tay-
lor, of Washington, presideet; NJ s.
koonle, OF Washington, secretary, and

demning the A. p. A. The resolution
warned all negroes not to join the

AND END THE UNCERTAINTY,
Allow Congress to Adjourn
and Put the Revenue Law
Into Effect.
THE GAIN IN REVENUE
From Whisky Alone Would
Amount to $15,O00,OO0
for the Ten Days.

WASHINGTON, Jug. IA. The tariff
bill is expected to reach the president
some time tomorrow, after which he
will have until week from next Mon
day. Aug. 81, If he desires it, in which
to consider it before returning it to the
senate. 1t can he stated with almost
absolute certainty that the bill will be-
come law either by the presidents
signature or by his returning it in ten
days without action, the presumption
being largelyin favor of the latter alter
native. The president has repeatedly
told his friends that he could not sign
the bill, but during the day many of his
closest personal friends have urged him
to sign the bill without delay. Several
reasons were urged, among them the
fact that the opening of fall trade was
SO close at hand, and that delay of ten
days might result in serious
Loss of Customs Revenues.
Another reason stated was that con-
gfess was extremely anxious to adjourn.
With the exception of two months, the
members had been in constant attend
ailce for a year, and it was represented
that now that their work was practically
accomplished, it would hardly be fair to
compel them to remain here in idIensss
when no positive good could be accom-
piished thereby. He was advised to
forego his scruples in the matter. sign
the bill, and return it with a message
which would leave no room for doubt as
to his views thereon.
1t Is estimated that during the next
ten days the receipts from internal rev.
enue will probably amount to between
Sl0,0o0.t00 aud Sl5,O00OOO, and the gov
ernment will lose the increased whisky
tax to this extent. In view of the de-
pieted condition Of the treasury this
Argument probably will have weight
with the president. 1t is known though
that up to this time the president has
not changed his determination to permit
the bill to become a law by retaining it
the necessary ten days without action.

sUNDRY CIVIL BILL o. *.
Conferees Reach agreement on
the Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-THE confer
ence committee of the two houses con-
cluded the consideration of the suudry
civil bill late today, and will report an
agreement tomorrow. The senate will
recede from its amendments appropri-
ating $50. 900 for public buildings at
Boise City. Cheyenne, Helena and
Spokane. The house will accept the
amendment of the senate for land sur
veys in the states of Washington, Idaho,
Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming.
and III regard to soldiers additional
homesteads. There is compromise on
the senate amendment for the payment
of the heirs of the victims of the
Ford theater disaster, which, however,
provides the necessary Appropriation.
The same is true of the amendment for
the Atlanta exposition. The amend
ment containing the donation of 1,0G0,
900 acres of land to various arid land
states for the encouragement of irriga-
tion, remains in the bill, but in amended
form. Both the senate and house will
recede from the amendments for the
purchase of site for the government
printing office, which will result In
dropping the entire question for the
session.
The conference committee will take
up the general deficiency bill at 10:30
tomorrow and will soon be able to re-
port it.

REVENUE POURING IN.
Distillers Endeavor to Escape the
Increased Tax.

sWAsHINGToN, Aug. Ia Treasury
officials anticipate very great increase
in the receipts from internal revenue
sources within the next ten days in case
ne presid ent allows the tariff bill to
become law by withholding his sig.
nature.
AT Peking, ILL.,, the receipts yester.
Day reached S240, 900, and in the district
of Maryland they amounted to $4,000.
ali of the great distIllery centers have
be regauged at the solicitation of
owners. and as it cannot be regauged
again it Is assumed that practically all
oft will be withdrawn, If possible, be.
fore the bill becomes law. During the
next ten days the internal revenue re-
ceipts are expected to reach Sl,5OO,OOO a
day.
The customs fficials of the treasury
expect also a marked
Increase in Customs Receipts
from now OIL, and particularly during
the next month or so. Large quantities
of goods now held in the bonded ware
houses at New York. Boston and other
large seaport cities will be withdrawn
as soon as possible after the bill becomes
a:law to meet the demands of the fall
trade. Dry goods and furnishing goods
and notions of all kinds will form a
iarge item In these Withdrawals. The
reduction of so cents per pound in the
duty on cigars is expected to stimulate
trade to some extent in that direction.
The administration of the new act
will remain practically unchanged in all
its details. The administrative features
bt the house bill were stricken out in
the senate, thus leaving the admins
trative act of June 10, 1890, in full force,
except that the senate interjected a
paragraph providing for the licensing of
custom house brokers. The hat trim
mings paragraphs in the new bill are
quite satisfactory to the customs officials
ahd remove serious objection in the
bill as it came from the house As pre-
sented to the senate this feature of the
bill left open. it is said. wide door
through which silk goods could be
bSought in as trimmings at a reduction
of from so cents to 20 cents.
Practically the same provision in the
act of 1888 resulted in the suits for re-
funds of S50,000,000. now pending in the
New York courts. Any inconsistencies
which may be found in the bill can only
by special acts be cured. and it is feared
these may not pass easily. The admin
istrative act of 1890 itself cures duplica-
tions of articles at different rates and
other inconsistencies of that character,
bot as to all other matters curative acts
wall be necessary.

SENATE IS DISPOSED TO ACT
supplemental BIIis May Soon be
Passed Upon

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic leaders of the senate have occu-
pied considerable portion of the day
in trying to determine what course to
pursue with reference to the supple
mental tariff bills. The Democratic
steering committee was in session for
two hours after the senate adjourned
trying to determine upon the most ad-
visable policy under the circumstances,
and previous to the meeting the con-
servative senators had d conference on
the same subject
IL is understood that the conservatives
advocate the reference of the bills to
the finance committee, while the steer
ing committee is apparently divided on
the question. Appearances all indicate,
however, that a large majority of the
Democratic senators would like 20 have
the bills passed if they could feel as
sured that their passage would not re-
duce the governmental revenues to too
great an extent. The interest in these
bills, as in the main tariff bill, is in the
sugar question, and it is to the free
sugar bill that they are giving their
principal attention. There is an evil
dent tendency on the part of majority
of Democratic senators towards
so as to make it revenue bill pure and
simple, and it is now the programme of
the Democratic leaders to amend the
bill, if there should prove TO be pros
pect of its becoming law, reducing
the duty, making it uniform. and strik.
ing off the ditferential on refined sugar.
The reduction would depend upon the
figures which the treasury department
Will furnish as to the amount of reye-
nre it will be necessary to secure from
sugar under the new tariff. Secretary
Carlisle was at the capitol while today's
conference was in progress, and was
asked to supply this estimate. which be
promises to do.
A leading member of the steering
committee expressed the opinion that a
duty of % or 80 per cent on sugar would
afford ali the revenue from that source
that would be needed.
1t would appear that so far the only
definite arrangement is for the discus
sion or the bills at tomorrow's session.
Ii it be impossible, in the face of
single objection, to force the bills to
third reading tomorrow, 1t is prob
able that large part of the day will be
given up to debate on a motion to refer
to committee. This will serve to devel-
op the real intentions Of the Republi-
cans towards the bills, and also, possibly
TO develop what differences there may
be in the Democratic party. The steer
ing committee has not yet formally
taken up the question of selecting
successor to Senator Vance, on the
finance committee, but the matter has
been informally discussed by the men,
bers of the committee. and it is believed
thatthe selection will be made during
the week.
The names of several senators are
mentioned in this connection. those
most frequently heard being Senators
Blackburn and White.

WASHINGTON, Aug. I4.-At the re-
quest Of the state department Secretary
Herbert has directed Capt. Coffin, of the
cruiser Charleston, now at the Mare
island navy yard, to make preparations
for sailing. As soon as the ship is ready,
for sea she will be sent to the Asiauc
station to join the other United States
vessels now there for the purpose of
protecting the interests OF Americans
in China and Japan during the war be-
tween those two countries. With the
addition Of the Charleston the United
States will have good naval repre-
sentation in Eastern waters. The
Baltimore and the Monocacy have
been there for some time, and recently
the Concord and the Petrol, forming
part of the Bering sea patrol fleet. were
ordered to join them. 1t is asserted that
there is no significance attached to the
addition of the Charleston to the ships
of the Asiatic station, but that it is
simply in conformity with a desire on
the part OF the administration to have
strong naval force there during the
continuation of the war. The Charles
ton has just left the dry-dock. having
undergone thorough overhauling, and
should be prepared to sail in short
time.

Proceedings.

Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-There was
but a scattering OF senators present to-
day when the vice president called the
senate to order. Mr.. German (Dem.,
Md was not in his seat. Mr.. Hill

resolution for the printing of 5000
copies of the house bill, known as the
sugar tariff bill.
Mr.. Vest protested against the title,
but Mr.. Hale replied that he 81 mply re-
ferred to it by the name by which it
would be known hereafter, but would
not insist upon that title being printed
Oh the bill.
Mr.. Vest questioned Mr.. Hale's right
to say what would be the popular
designation of the bill. and declared it
an outrage upon the senate. The res0-
luton went over.
Resolutions for the investigation of
the Dominion Coal company, of Nova
Scotia, and for the investigation of the
recent elections in Alabama were called
up, but went over.
