WASHINGTON. Aug. 4-There was but
a scattering of Senators present to-day
when the Vice President called the Senate
to order. Mr.. German was not in his seat;
Mr.. Hill was present, but busted himself in
a newspaper During the reading of yes
terdays journal Mr.. Mills asked unanimous
consent that it's further reading be dis
pensed with, but Mr.. Blanchard objected,
and the reading resumed.
At 12:15 o'clock the reading of the journal
was concluded, when a messenger from the
House of Representatives was announced
and informed the Senate that the House
had passed the bills placing coal, iron ore.
barbed wire and sugar on the free list, in
which it asked the concurrence of the Sem
ate. The bills were received and read. Sen
ator Manderson objected to the second read
ing, and Senator Hill gave notice of amend
ments repeating all income taxes. The bills
will come up tomorrow.
Mr.. Hale introduced a resolution for the
printing of five thousand copies of House
bill No. 1864 known as the sugar tariff
BILL Mr.. Vest protested against the title,
but Mr.. Hale replied that he simply re-
ferred TO it by the name by which it would
be known hereafter, but would not insist
upon that title being printed on the bill. Mr.
Vest questioned Mr.. Hale's right to say
what would be the popular designation of
the bill, and declared il outrage upon
the Senate. The resolution went over.
Bills were passed promoting Commodore
Louis c. Sartor retired, to rear admiral on
the retired list, and authorizing the Soldiers
Home managers to extend outdoor relief
to veterans.
Resolutions for the investigation of the
Dominion Coal Company, of Nova Scotia,
and for the investigation of the recent elec-
tons in Alabama were called up, but went
over. At 2:10 the Senate adjourned.
The House was not in session to-day
and most of the members were at home
resting from the arduous tariff labors of
yesterday. Speaker Crisp and few MEM
bers were about the House. Mr.. Crisp said
the expectations were that the Senate
would act on some of the separate tariff
measures before the adjournment and for
that reason the close of the session would
depend good deal on the Senate. More
over, the rule adopted in the House yes
terday had given members ten days leave
TO print tariff speeches Heretofore all
speeches in the House have been from the
standpoint that the House bill would pre-
vail and these hardly meet the existing
state of affairs. Mr.. Crisp says there is
nothing further for the House to do ex-
cept to complete two appropriation bills
which are in conference. Fsgaf

year TO the Secretary of the Interior. who
has approved it, Special attention is 10 be
given to the survey of the mineral bearing
areas of the Appalachian region ranging
from Virginia to Florida, the Lake Superior
region, Colorado, Idaho and California. The

ton being devoted to the arid and semi
arid region of the interior and TO the Pa
cific coast. Thirty-three topographic par

underground currents and artesian wells,
will form an important branch of the work.
This line of investigation is practically
departure and specifically pro-
vided for at the present session of Con-
gress The collection and publication of
statistics exhibiting the mineral resources
of the country will be continued and efforts
be made to make this volume even more

THE BUNCOMBE BILLS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE four bills

sugar. of coal, of iron ore and of barbed

facture, which were passed by the House.
are drawn to go into effect Immediately
upon their passage. The bill for free sugar
provides that from and after the passage
of this act the following articles. when
imported into the United States, shall be
admitted free of all import duties: All
sugars, all tank bottoms, all sugar drain

TO AMEND THE SUGAR BILL.
Many Senator's Favor AbOlfshing the
Dfferential Duty.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The Democrat
ic leaders of the Senate occupied a consid-
erchle portion of the day in trying to de-
te-mne what course to pursue with refer
ence to the supplemental tariff bills. The
Democratic steering committee was in ses-
sion for two hours after the Senate ad-
journed, trying to determine upon the most
advisable policy under the circumstances
and previous to the meeting conservative
Senators had a conference on the same
subject. 1t is understood that the "con-
servetiyes'' advocate the reference of the
hills to the finance committee. while the
steering committee is apparently somewhat
divided on the question. Appearances all
indicate. however, that a large majority of
the Democratic Senator'S would like to
have the bills passed if they could feel as
su-ed that their passage would not reduce
the government revenues to too great an
extent The interest in these bills, as in
tfe main tariff BILL is in the sugar queS-
tion. and IL Is to the free sugar bill that
they are giving their principal attention.
There is an evident tendency on the part
of a majority of Democratic Senators to-
wards amending the sugar bill so to
make ii revenue bill. pure and simple,
and Ii is now the programme of the Demo-
cratic leaders 70 amend the bill if there
should prove to be a prospect of it's be-
coming a law, reducing the duty making
it uniform and striking off the differential
on refined sugar. The reduction would de-
pend upon the figures which the Treasury
DEPARTMENT will furnish to the amount
of revenue il will be necessary to secure
from sugar under the new tariff. Secre-
ta--y Carlisle was at the Capitol while TO-
days conference was in progress and was
asked % supply his estimate, which he
promises to do.
A leading member of the steering COM
mittee expressed the opinion that a duty
of % or 80 per cent. on sugar would afford
all the revenue from that source that
would be needed. 1t would appear that so
far the only definite arrangement is for
the discussion Of the bills at to-morrow's
session. AS il will be impossible in the
face of a single objection TO force the bills
to third reading tomorrow il is probable
that a large part of the day will be given
up to debate on a motion to refer to com
mittee. This will serve to develop the real
intentions of the Republicans towards the
bills and also possibly to develop what
differences there may be in the Democratic

REPUDIATED BY DEMOCRATS.
Only a Small Portion of HalfOrd's Ex-
penses at Paris Allowed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE first Con-
troller of the Treasury has rendered a de-
cision on the question of allowing the ac-
counts of Maj. f. w. Halford, paymaster
in the army, for disbursements for sal
aries and expenses of the Bering sea arbi-
tration commission appointed behalf of
the United States in the cases of Senator
Morgan and Mr.. Justice Harlan the con-
troller finds that there no incompati-
bility between the holding OF their re-
spective offices United States Senator
and justices of the United STAGES Supreme
Court, and therefore. their accounts are
allowed, are also those of Judge Blod-
gett one of the counsel on benalf of the

MAY CLOSE THE UNIVERSITY.
OIney's Suit Against the Leland STAN
ford Estate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. H.-There is reason
to believe that the governments claim
against the estate of ex-senator Leland
Stanford will be tested in the courts be-
fore there has been any actual default i'm
the payments. Attorney-general Olney's
notice to the executrix OF the governments
claim has interfered somewhat with the
closing up of the estate, and may result in
the closing up OF the university. Under
the conditions the Attorney-g general pro-
posed that IL the eXecutriX would waive
any right she might have by reason of the
premature bringing of the suit he would
gladly consent TO have proceedings begin
at once No conclusion has yet been
reached. but il is believed that objec-
tion will be made to that course, especially
as a speedy adjudication of the claim
would be in the interest of the estate The
suit also. would determine the status of
the governments claim against G. +. Hun
tington and others. and on the whole
early settlement of the claims would be in
the interest of all concerned.

HE is NOT AN ANARCH
SEVERAL CHARGES REFUTED BY
PROF. RICHARD II. ELY.
He Does Not Favor Strikes and Boy
colts and Teaches Neither Social
ism Nor Anarchism.

CHAUTAUQUA, n. Y, Aug. 14-Prof.
Richard II. Ely. of the University of Wis
consln, made a personal statement in the
amphitheater to-day in reference to the
charges recently brought against him. He
denied each and every one in each and ev-
cry particular, defying the author to prove
one statement that he had made. As to
his views he had nothing to retract He
might have modified his opinion. for only
Iools never change, and as the years had
passed he had shared common fate and
became, on the whole, more conservative
But In the main the views he now held he
had held for years. The assertion that he
Favored strikes and boycotts was false
and malignant. He had repeatedly pointed
out the disastrous nature of railway strikes
in particular. AS to trades unions he had
held and still holds that their province
must be a limited one. The old-fashioned
striking trades union had outlived its time
and usefulness. But was he Socialist? :?
On the contrary, he had thought that agri-
culture offered insuperable obstacles to its
proposed organization of industry, and
maintained that even could socialism be
stop progress and overthrow our civiliza-
ton. AS TO anarchy, the propaganda was
dire national calamity against which all
right-minded people should work with all
the resources at their command Especially
should the wage-earning people shun all
connection with IL. 1t was of hell, and it's
slightest touch brought disaster to them
and all others. Plague. pestilence and fam
inc combined were mild evils compared
with widespread anarchy. Anything more
foreign TO his thought and feeling than
anarchy ne did not know; anything more
diametrically opposed to his social philos-
ophy he could not conceive. In obedience
TO the laws and constituted authorities of
the land was our only hope of progress.

Pittsburg Manufacturers Receive Sew

PITTSBURG. Aug. H.-The passage of
the tariff bill has already made itself felt
in this district by a marked revival of
business. Stocks in all lines of manu-
features had been reduced to minimum,
several large orders were received by local
manufacturers and many more are ex-
pected. In some lines of business the de-
mand began Yesterday as soon as the pas
sage of the tariff bill was assured, and
the telegraph wires were kept busy last
night with orders for goods. 1t is as
serted that slight reduction in the wages
will be necessary in the case of glass work

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 4-There was
