A Few Amendments TO the Tariff Bill
AdOpted-Debate on Sugar.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE seventh
week of the tariff debate in the Senate be-
gan at IL o'clock to-day with a fair at
tendance on the floor. Two bills, one 10
pension the widow of Rear Admiral Donald
MacNeill Fairfax at the rate of 500 and the
other to increase the pension of the widow
of the late Major General Doubleday to $lg0
were reported and placed on the calendar.
Senator Davis gave notice of an amend
ment to the tariff bill providing for retail
iatory duties upon silks. velvets, plushes
and laces and all manufactures Of these ar
ticles, and also upon dice, draugnts, billiard
goods. dolls. toys, brandy and other spirits
manufactured from grain. champagne and
still wines, against countries Imposing dis
eliminating or prohibitory duties upon
grain or it's products other agricultural
productions exported from the United
States.
After some business of no general impor-
tance had been dispatched the tariff bill
was taken up. The question was on Mr..
Aldrich's motion to make the duty on
alumina six-tenths instead OF four-tenths of
a cent. ad valorem. Mr.. Lodge supported
the amendment. Mr.. Hale also spoke. Mr..
Butler said speeches were being made mere
sponded: Better kill time than industries I"
The amendment was tabled-20 to II.
Mr.. Aldrich moved to substitute five
tenths for four-tenths.
Mr.. Higgins, replying to the insinuation
of Mr.. Butler that the Republicans were
engaged in a time-killing contest declared
that the Republicans were in no wise re-
sponsibe for the delay. The Aldrich
amendment was tabled
Mr. Platt said that despite the fact that
for years this chamber had rung with a
Democratic denunciation of the Sugar
Trust the Democrats, save and excepting
one had agreed. so he understood. in eau

fined sugars. Surely Democratic tariff re-

proceeded to read for the benefit of his po-

some of the great Democratic dailies, de-
nouncing the surrender of Democratic prin-
ciples made in the Jones amendments.
At the conclusion of Mr. Gallingers re-
marks the Jones amendment, fixing the
duty on alum at four-tenths of a cent. was
agreed to without division, as was the next

Mr.. Jones offered an amendment to lay a
duty of cent pound on borax and change
the duty on refined borax from 20 per cent
to cents. The amendment agreed to.
Mr. Jones offered an amendment to trans
fe refined camphor from the free list to the
dutiable list at 10 per cent. ad valorem. Mr..
Aldrich moved to substitute 4 cents per
pound, the present duty. Mr.. Aldrich' S
substitute was defeated-2l to 81 Mr. Aid
rich then modified his substitute as to
make IL 312 cents. This was also defeated,
and the Jones amendment was agreed to.
Mr.. Aldrich offered amendment to the
next paragraph TO substitute 1 cent per

duty of 20 per cent. in the bill This amend
ment defeated
1t was then ten minutes to o'clock, and
Mr.. Allison suggested an executive session.
while Mr.. Jones suggested that the Senate
sit an hour longer tonight.
AIR. Harris, who had charge of the bill,
arose and, with cutting sarcasm, rejected
both suggestions. I'm view of the fact"
said he, with the trip-hammer deliberation
so characteristic of him, that the Senate

Governor Northen Assailed for Giving
Senatorship to Catholic.

DALLAS, Tex, May 1.-THE Baptist
convention spent the entire morning in
reading the report on foreign missions.
Much i'll feeling has been aroused between
what is known as the Northen and Gran
fiel wings of the convention because of the
sermons preached last night by DIR. Fulton,
of New York, and Rev. Cranfiel. of Texas
both directly assailing Governor Northen
for appointing Patrick Walsh TO the United
States Senate. Fulton announced that he
was an A. p. A. and in full sympathy with
it's anti-Catholc attitude. Cranfiei declared
that he would not vote for Catholic for
any office and under any condition. and
that he had confidence In who
would vote for one or aid enc In getting
into Office. This thrust Is considered as be-
ing plainly intended for Governor Northen
At the night session the reports OF the
subcommittee on the foreign missions
board were adopted and about 5000 raised
for the board The convention adjourns
finally tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, May Ia. - Reports OF q
disquieting nature were received to-day by
Attorney-general Olney respecting the law
less acts of various armies of Coxeyites
in the West in selling trains and interfering
with the mails. The Attorney-general con-
suited the Secretary of War; and IL was de-
cided to adhere to the line of policy pursued
last week in dealing with these cases.
While general Instructions had been sent TO
the military commanders in the troubled
districts to give all lawful and necessary
assistance to the officers of the United
States courts in repressing these outrages.
1t was felt proper to send specific instruc-
tions to-day to General Otis, at Vancouver
barracks, and to General Brooke, COM
manding the Department of the Platte, to
take active steps to head off the marauders
in their districts, acting. OF course, as aux
iliary to the United States marshals. The
instructions had special reference 10 q
party that seized train the Oregon
Short line, to one at Spokane, Wash. and
to the Union Pacific train seized near
Cheyenne. Late in the day news came that
the last-named train had been released by
the marshars deputies and that leaders Of
the train sellers had been arrested.
General Schofield has received telegram
from the United States marshal at Mont
pelier, Ida, stating that gang of Coxey-
ties have seized the property Of the Union
Pacific at that point with the intention OF
holding 1t until transportation is furnished
them. The marshal says that he and his
men are guarding the railroad property,
and asks TO be relieved by United States
troops. No action has been taken as yet
by the authorities here.
Senator Walsh to-day introduced a bill
making il a crime, punishable by imprison-
ment from one year TO twenty years. to re-
tard obstruct the passage of any train
carrying the United States mail.

THE STATE BANK TAX.
Little Possibility of It's Being Re-
peaIed by This Congress.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. May Alt is the pres
ent expectation of Representative Springer
the chairman of the banking and currency
committee, to call up the subject of the
repeal OF the State bank tax on next
Wednesday. Representative Dockery, of
the appropriations committee, thinks Of
interposing an appropriation BILL in which
case Mr.. Springer must postpone the SUBJ
ject but he believes he can persuade Mr..
Dockery to restrain himself. The outlook
for the reDealers is not very encouraging.
The project to repeal the 10 per cent. tax
was defeated by a satisfactory majority in
the committee, and the committee utterly
reDudiates all bills amendments which
have for their final purpose the abolition
of the tax. The repealers being thus un-
able 20 bring a repeal bill directly before
the House, have had recourse to subter-
fuge. Mr.. Cox, of Tennessee, of free-silver
fame. will offer his bill to repeal the tax
as an amendment to the bill introduced by
Mr. Brawley, which exempts the clearing
house certificates issued between August 1,
1893. and Oct, 10. 1893, from the tax The
contest will be fought in the House ire
spective of party lines. Mr.. Cox will lead
the fight for repeal, Mr.. Rayner, of Mary
land. will lead the Democrats opposed to
repeal and Mr.. Johnson. of Indiana, will
lad the anti-repeal Republicans.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE common
veal of Christ is now encamped in historic
Bladensburg, a village famous for duels
years ago. Prompted by the protests of the
indignant citizens of Hyattsville, where
camp was pitched last week, the army to-
day crossed the eastern branch of the Po-
tomac and pitched its tents in the large
yard adjoining the Washington Hotel. Mr..
Coxey said he anticipated no trouble in
Bladensburg. He said: I'VE are going TO

indus trials become numerous that we

camping spot. In such a case we will have
a rendezvous camp on DIR. Rogers's prop
